Quote:Ra: I am Ra. The excursion of which you speak and the process of disassociation is most usually linked with that archetype you call Hope which we would prefer to call Faith. This archetype is the Catalyst of the Spirit and, because of the illuminations of the Potentiator of the Spirit, will begin to cause these changes in the adept’s viewpoint.
my own view of this card is that it is related to Desire.
We have a sea of stars above our heads each night; to which will we anchor our hopes and dreams? which path will we follow?
we have the choice to which star guides us ... and a blocked expression of the Star of Hope results in depression ... in which one sees NO STARS at all, no hope in the earthly experience, no point in living at all.
the matrix and the potentiator (the Devil and the Tower) work in tandem to generate the catalyst ... the Star.
what do you desire RIGHT NOW? where is the spirit pointing your compass?
the spirit gives meaning and purpose to the workings of the Mind and Body. That is why so-called hardcore atheists and nihilists have such a closed view of the world. It is bleak, because to them, there is no meaning to anything.
