after the individual archetypes have been studied, one by one, and some of their governing energies laid into the aware mind, Ra recommends studying the archetypes in groups to further find correlations and deeper understandings of patterns and interactions between these nodal points of processing.
one such relationship exists between the Matrices and Potentiators.
for the Body, the Matrix is the Balance (scales), and the Potentiator Wisdom.
for the Mind, the Matrix is the Magician, and the Potentiator the High Priestess.
for the Spirit, the Matrix is the Devil, and the Potentiator the Lightning Struck Tower.
the matrix may be seen in all cases as the position which is acted upon, and the potentiator that which offers something which may lead to potential growth and change. This interaction of the matrix and potentiator generate the catalysts which lie one level above.
one can consider the matrix = soil
and the potentiator = the fertilizer
if you want to talk plant metaphors. The soil (matrix) is fairly inert by itself, and is barren without the fertilizer (potentiator). However, the fertilizer is quite pungent and harsh, and is quite often not appreciated by the matrix for the potential value it has to offer.

this dynamic tension can be quite easily illustrated in the interaction between the Magician and High Priestess, to use the mind as an example. The Magician (conscious aware mind) is quite happy with its intellectualising and theorising. it is quite perturbed, however, by the High Priestess which sits just beyond the Veil, and offers tantalising hints in the form of dreams and symbolic nudgings. These things are so hard to understand, why is she so vague? so coded? how can I trust these promptings, when it is impossible to convince another of the truth of the high priestess' message? (wholely subjective interpretation). one cannot convince, but must rather take that first leap of faith and trust in the intuition.
