third-density-being, I'm not at all complaining, nor is my invitation to you to help keep my thinking honest in any way disingenuous. I don't get nearly enough criticism on these topics, so I am glad to get it where I can.
I think you may misunderstand what I was saying about language. The body does not understand language any more than a computer does. You mention that brain damage can inhibit language capabilities. This, as you surmise, does suggest that the body uses language, even if it does not understand it. Inability to find the right words is a common experience among people with brain damage or Alzheimer's. Interestingly, this indicates that they are capable of identifying concepts, but incapable of linking the linguistic signs (i.e. words) to the concept. Hence, the language itself belongs to the body, but the concepts to which it points belong to the mind. The ease with which we use language as a conveyor of concept indicates the intimate connection between body and mind, but, despite the richness of their interface, the two are still experientially distinct. Again, A.I. clearly demonstrates this to us: a computer can use language for pattern recognition and algorithmic action, but it cannot formulate its own interpretations of the language, despite achieving ever subtler and more complex patterns.
Third density is not a place where certainty can be found. We use all the tools in our rational/intuitive/mystical arsenal to come to the clearest and most coherent description of reality. Certainty is not an appropriate target, but we can at least hope for stability. If the archetypes are existing entities, and if we can identify them by their resonance, then each ought to have a very distinct flavor to it. My experience verifies this claim. The more time you spend with the Archetypes, the more stable your approach to them will be. While you may begin by forming inaccurate connections between archetype and experience, the very act of reaching will reveal them to you more and more clearly. Like any persistent student, your diligence will be rewarded with clarity. I began in just such a way: audaciously making claims about which archetypes describe which kinds of experiences, only to recant my hasty claims a few months later. These threads are an excellent example of my cruder efforts.
