I remember "Ring-Pass-Nots" being spoken of as the limits of the auric
egg of whatever entity is being considered. I read it in reference to a
Solar Logos but the same was said to apply to all. It is the point
which, (for the time being) you cannot go beyond. It does makes sense in
a way, because it's the functional limit of your identity. "You" as a
conscious identity cannot function as "yourself", nor "know yourself as
yourself" beyond it's boundary. It defines "you", whatever the level,
because it is the vehicle or set of vehicles that you are actually able
to be conscious in.

You cannot go beyond it and retain your present identity, ("identity"
here being a function of the capabilities of the vehicle.) Until we
graduate from the scheme in question and learn to become conscious in
the vehicles that are or will be prepared in the next one, it acts as
the operative limit. 

A "Ring-Pass-Not" is fixed for "us" (at least for the duration), as the
attainable upper limit of the Earth Scheme hierarchy, but there are also
lesser "Ring-Pass-Nots" that we deal with now as we strive to rise and
become conscious in our higher vehicles.

When we "graduate" from Globe D of the earth chain, It's said that we
will fully live and be functionally conscious in our causal bodies. That
is supposedly one of the goals for this globe-round. Until we
sucessfully accomplish that, the lower mental body is a kind of lesser
"Ring-Pass-Not".

It seems the Logos for our Scheme has set the natural bar for us.

And on and on and on ...
(or so I've heard.)
