Positive polarity people and negative polarity people equally. It is an "equal opportunity" god for all. The card is not an exhortation or reward. The card is describing the fact that the primary "significance" of God is continuous and absolute love for everyone all the time without exception. We do not achieve the Sun. We bask in it. Novice and Adept alike. We are offered all of it at all times. The card is not a reward for high achievement. It is our birthright from the get-go. And it is enormous comfort. No matter how badly we screw up, no matter how much we achieve, God's love is utterly unchanged and constant. There is no GREATER love/rewards for the highly motivated and high achiever. God's love does not favor anyone. The whole point of this card is unconditional acceptance by All That Is. It is not a description of a person who has achieved a certain level of spiritual advancement.
what about these 2 exchanges here?
Quote:80.17 Questioner: How would you describe the Significator of the Spirit?
Ra: I am Ra. In answer to the previous query we set about doing just this. The Significator of the Spirit is that living entity which either radiates or absorbs the love and the light of the One Infinite Creator, radiates it to others or absorbs it for the self.
80.18 Questioner: Then would this process of radiation or absorption, since we have what I would call a flux or flux rate, be the measure of the power of the adept?
Ra: I am Ra. This may be seen to be a reasonably adequate statement.
here the Significator of the Spirit is described with a variable quality.
1) the power of the Spirit can either radiate or absorb, depending on whether one is making positive or negative uses of the common Light - "radiates or absorbs the love and the light of the One Infinite Creator, radiates it to others or absorbs it for the self."
2) there is a measure of the 'flux rate' or the power of the adept, depending on how well integrated the spirit is with the other complexes.
the Significator here has as much variability and accumulation as say the other Significators, that of the Hierophant and the Hanged Man.
and don't forget that all these significators exist within the deep mind, and so are a total record of accumulated understandings relative to the self.
