The Three Transformation Cards

[Plenum]

in Ra's system, the three Transformation Cards represent the 6th level, or roughly represent the indigo level of understanding.

they are:

the Transformation of Mind: the Lovers card
the Transformation of Body: the Death card
the Transformation of Spirit: the Judgement card

now, these 3 cards are pretty imposing straight off the bat. They call to mind energies which lead us through a 'gateway', after which we will never be the same again. One could also see these energies as those of 'initiation'.

but why are we studying this stuff anyway? of what use is it?

Ra offers this:

88.17 We ask that you consider that the archetypical mind informs those thoughts which then may have bearing upon the mind, the body, or the spirit. The archetypes do not have a direct linkage to body or spirit. All must be drawn up through the higher levels of the subconscious mind to the conscious mind and thence they may flee whither they have been bidden to go. When used in a controlled way they are most helpful.

in the end, all we have are thoughts; and those thoughts then translate into what we know of as the body complex, or affect the linkage and connection we have with the spirit complex.

with the mind, all things are possible:

67.28 Each archetype presents an aspect of the One Infinite Creation to teach the individual mind/body/spirit complex according to the calling or the electromagnetic configuration of mind of the entity. Teaching is done via the intuition. With the proper seeking or mind configuration, the power of will uses the spirit as a shuttle to contact the appropriate archetypical aspect necessary for the teach/learning. In the same way each of the other informers of intuition are contacted. They are hierarchical and proceed from the entity’s own subconscious mind to group or planetary mind, to guides, to Higher Self, to archetypical mind, to cosmic mind or intelligent infinity. Each is contacted by the spirit serving as shuttle according to the harmonized electromagnetic configuration of the seeker’s mind and the information sought.

it is my belief that once the Transformation Cards are understood, then this 'spirit shuttle' is made available to the mind as a resource, and the self teaching process can be greatly accelerated.

I might embellish this a tad.  Once the Transformation Cards are understood and acted upon, then . . . the self teaching process can be greatly accellerated.  It's not enough to know what the Death card means.  The remarkable transformation occurs when the card is lived.  To know that we are eternal spirit and that death is merely a transformation does not, by itself, accellerate learning.  But living fearless, day by day, knowing in each moment that any one of them could be your very last in this body, that kind of thinking naturally loses the fear.  You become bold, experiment, act impulsively.  And doing these crazy out-there things will bring in a whole new world of experience/catalyst (which will be just the right for you) and cause you to grow.  So, yes, understanding is essential.  But having the understanding without acting upon it is just potential for acceleration.  IMHO.
