But I agree, I'm used to the title at this point.

Thank you, Parsons.

The thread started with the intent to examine the nature of time, but soon veered into multiple trajectories. Moreover, it has served as a tool to further my seeking. 

However, in terms of growth through seeking over a period of time, the title of the thread may still be apt in the context of the below quote

Quote:100.11 Questioner: The entities— the small black— or russet— and white entities have been now changed so that they appear to besphinxes which we are assuming mean that the catalyst has been mastered. I am also assuming that they act as the power that moves the chariot depicted here so as this mastery enables the mind in its transformation to become mobile unlike it was prior to this mastery, locked within the illusion. Would Ra comment on that?

Ra: I am Ra. Firstly, we ask that the student consider the Great Way not as the culmination of a series of seven activities or functions but as a far more clearly delineated image of the environment within which the mind, body, or spirit shall function. Therefore, the culturally determined creatures called sphinxes do not indicate mastery over catalyst.

The second supposition, that of placing the creatures as the movers of the chariot of mind, has far more virtue. You may connote the concept of time to the image of the sphinx. The mental and mental/emotional complex ripens and moves and is transformed in time.
