Hi Stranger,
The Archetypes are definitely not for everyone. And I don't mean that in any superior way. They offer a lot of fruit to some people ... and to most, they are just too arcane and abstruse.
For me, they represent the 'operating system' level of the 3d mind. So for someone who wants to get down to that level, and really understand the nuts and bolts of consciousness, it definitely has appeal. But for many people, one can function perfectly fine and with great effectiveness without digging down to such a level. It's like navigating 3d using Windows 7/8/10, and being perfectly happy with how things are set up. But the Archetypes are like drilling down into the processes, and looking at how things were coded.
In terms of the benefits, I would say that it helped clear up or elucidate an area that I had wanted to have elucidated for a long time. I wanted to know how this very deep level of mind was coded and constructed; how the steps of one area moved to the other. And so it definitely refined my understanding of polarity (which is the whole point of 3d), and gave me a solid map to work with, in terms of processes.
So the short answer is that it yielded clarity on areas that previously were perceived, but not in any way consciously articulated.
That 'clarity' then sets up work with the magical personality, and so on and so forth.
It was definitely a very integral part of me coming to terms with the Ra Material.
