I see the Ra Material as a big hill of dirt needing to be mined for gems. The material as a whole is incredibly scattered, but there are bits and pieces here and there which hold some great beauty, others are "transient" as Ra would say (and indeed as they say for many of the things Don asked about).
However, I have noticed that you are interested and seem to work from a concept of archetypes and gestalts in the mind as well, so since you have read all the books, do you find the archetypal concepts Ra expresses to represent the same archetypes as Jung and others? (Referring to the 22 Tarot Archetypes)
To clarify why I mean, Ra proposes 7 functional Archetypes of the Mind they dub the Matrix, the Potentiator, the Significator, the Catalyst, the Experience, the Transformation and the Great Way, do you see these as reflective of other concepts of archetypes or to be different? I wonder as these archetypes appear to be functional, they serve a purpose and activity, and I wonder if the Jungian (to use one framework) and other archetypes also reflect a similar idea of activity in consciousness?
