The Magician: Matrix of the Mind

[Ankh]

It occurs to me, Ankh, that since this archetype is programmed into us, we're never really going to feel satisfied and complete. The Logos thought it wise to embed existential anxiety into us: the caged bird that never quite escapes, the trapped spirit that always feels prison even if it can't see it.  :-/

"Never" is a strong word, JustLikeYou, but it made me to think.

I think that the bird is one of many other details in this Archetype. The adept who is working with indigo and violet rays is past dwelling in this Archetype in a helpless state, in my understanding. This adept would only dwell in this Archetype to experience the full magic of the Logos, or to maybe recapitulate the past learning of some details which it perhaps semi-forgot. But it wouldn't helplessly be stuck in this Archetype with no understanding of how to go on, i.e. how to free that bird. With that being said, indeed can other people who are not adepts, like me for instance, be stuck by this detail of this Archetype. I am not an adept and feel sure trapped and imprisoned many times, though I don't think that this feeling comes from the spirit. Anyway, for now though, I don't think that this caged bird is embedded in us in any other purpose than to firstly perhaps limit our spiritual power while we are making the choice, and secondly to make us uncomfortable, so that we will start to seek. It is meant to be a temporary element I think.
