I have a question for you guys:
My observation here has been, that many really try to follow Ra's suggestions, advice and guidance.
However there is one area, where this seems to be really different, which is working with archetypes.
If I remember correctly, Ra's advice is to start with that AFTER the issues of the lower three chakras have been worked through.
For me, this is pretty clear. Archetypes are a transpersonal kind of consciousness work.
That would mean, you cannot work on personal issues really, on biographic stuff.
When the biographical stuff has been worked through, it is time for that step.
When the biographical stuff is not yet healed, transpersonal work would bypass the personal stuff thus ultimately blocking further progress.
With the additional energy gained through that work, the personal issues would even become re-enforved, making it even more difficult to face.
Well, to keep it short:
What is your take on this?
What is your motivation to work with archetypes?
Are all of your lower chakra issues already healed or do you just ignore Ra's advice here?
Or is there a misunderstanding on my side?
I'm really curious!
What are you talking about in not studying tarot? Quote please
The purpose of the tarot is to develop the personality which is the projection used to navigate and interact in our society. Any entity can benefit. I don't consider the tarot-archetypes as transpersonal. Ra mentions the study of the archetypes as the blueprint of energy expenditure.
Ra recommends an exploration of kabbalah, astrology, and the tarot to find the natural resonance one has with an archetypal system.
Internalization is very important and overlook as a general goal. Intellectualization isnt helpful past an often imperceptibly subtle point. Generally, when you want to know something for yourself in an unquestionable way, you do.
Using archetypes for personal work requires a methodology unique to the student.
There are many gems in Ra's take on the tarot. Being dependent on his perception is a heavy crutch in the beginning. Best to start with the healing exercises
