Ra's Adventures in Wonderland

It's also interesting that progression through the third density octave is analogous to walking the negative path. There is darkness, disharmony, and the definite desire to control catalyst.

"The figure is expressing the nature of experience by having its attention caught by what may be termed the left-hand catalyst. Meanwhile, the power, the magic, is available upon the right-hand path.

The nature of experience is such that the attention shall be constantly given varieties of experience. Those that are presumed to be negative, or interpreted as negative, may seem in abundance. It is a great challenge to take catalyst and devise the magical, positive experience. That which is magical in the negative experience is much longer coming, shall we say, in the third density."

I know enlightenment for me felt like an abandonment, a giving in and a letting go (of control), much like the negative polarity eventually does. There was of course a definite unification, and the beginning of greater work.

I think the choice is perhaps put at the end of the deck because it isn't conscious, you are who you are, and so there apparently is no choice to be made..the path one walks just is so. You keep mentioning the fact that the image of the choice seems to display harmony/neutrality. We know enlightenment involves seeing the beauty of both the darkness and the light. For those on the negative path it must involve gnostic recognition, and those on the positive path, it's the ability to forgive and understand it's all relative.

Either way, it seems that the image of the choice is an acknowledgement of the unification that must first be needed to provide the gateway for a "choice" to be made, which is what the image displays.
