The Male/Female Principles in the Archetypes

[ricdaw]

Hello Dear JustLikeYou,

Mind and Body Paths are fairly intuitive and understood, especially that Ra focus quite greatly on the Mind Path.
Spirit Path on the other hand is extremely elusive and practically indefinable for third-density-Being. Since so little was said about the Spirit Path in fourth Book, I’ve looked back to every statement Ra ever made regarding the “Spirit” (when Ra spoke of the “Spirit” separately, not as “mind/body/spirit complex”).

********

In any case, I’m unable to “grasp” “what” Spirit Is in relation to my own Being-ness/Experience and I think this is my fundamental problem/challenge.

An attempt at an answer?
 
Intelligent Infinity (the biggest "spirit" of all, inasmuch as it is the Original Creative Force or God) through awareness and focused intent created Intelligent Energy ("Awareness led to the focus of infinity into infinite energy") which is a form of light.  (“The concept of light is instrumental in grasping this great leap of thought as this vibrational distortion of infinity is the building block of that which is known as matter, the light being intelligent and full of energy, thus being the first distortion of intelligent infinity which was called by the creative principle.”  Session 13.)
 
Everything in our Universe is this Intelligent Energy including all objects and mass (E=MC[sup]2[/sup]).   You and I are two coalesced bits of this Intelligent Energy (sub-sub-sub-sub logi) and the Mind/Body complex is the physical part.  But we are also still a part of the greater spiritual “whole” of Intelligent Infinity too.  We are individuated bits of Spirit and co-creators.  (“The galaxy and all other things of material of which you are aware are products of individualized portions of intelligent infinity.”)
 
That inner spark of spirit, or Intelligent Infinity, is constantly nourished by the greater Intelligent Infinity Source.  (“The intelligent energy of the mind/body/spirit complex totality draws its existence from intelligent infinity or the Creator.”  Session 51) 
 
This is a dry “mechanical” description of Spirit, but not the most important aspect of Spirit.
 
The important aspect is that there is a spiritual nature to all of reality.  There is a spiritual Purpose to our existence.  Spirit’s relationship to your “Being-ness/Experience” is that at some point you will come to know/grok that you are a Spiritual Being with Spiritual Purpose and have (potentially) the ability to tap into and to manipulate physicality (Intelligent Energy) and/or to commune with, or gain information from, Intelligent Infinity. 
 
The Tarot shows different aspects of Mind, Body and Spirit in the hopes to get the curious Seeker to see this greater Spiritual attribute of our existence and then, once found, to start to walk the Spiritual Path (the Great Way cards).  There is a choice to be made (STO/STS) and some work to be done to tap into Intelligent Infinity (still the mind, balance the chakras).  But it is the very promise of knowing/experiencing your “larger” spiritual self that is the motivation to make the choice and to do the work. 
 
So Spirit is both the calling/reason to act, and the fundamental source and support of the ability to act.
 
The work is done (here in the 3[sup]rd[/sup] dimensional Earth Life School) through a body and with the mind, but the work is done on and to the Self Spirit.  Using Free Will to mold and sculpt said Spirit in your own unique way.  To become the Greatest Vision of Who You Really Are.  To cut and shine the facets of your Spirit diamond.  To what ultimate end?  That seems to be one of the Mysteries.  Ra did not say.
 
I recommend plenty of sleep and extra provisions for the long trek.
