An Archetype Workbook

[rva_jeremy]

Anyhow, have you ever noticed Q'uo, Latwii and that gang ever mentioning the archetypes?  Probably there's a little something mentioned somewhere, but doggone little.  Why do you think that might be?  Obviously, it must, in part, be a function of the questioning.  But isn't it interesting that the archee-types are almost never referenced in the ordinary discussion of spiritual evolution by these prominent Confederation sources?

I have definitely noticed this. There's a few possible explanations I can think of:

1. The Ra contact never got to that information until dozens of sessions in, after trance became so routine to Carla that it started to directly cause her weariness. It's possible that the conscious channeling is simply not deep enough to afford this instruction, or the intentions of the participants preclude this information somehow.
   
2. It's important to keep in mind that most of Ra's discussion that we consider pertaining to the archetypal mind uses the vehicle of the tarot, and the tarot may be more relevant to Ra's message than other Confederation sources' simply because of its Venusian pedigree. There may be lots of discussion of the archetypal mind that just doesn't use this easily identified symbology.
   
3. Those driving contact with Confederation entities at L/L Research have not embarked on the same systematic study and questioning that Don and the gang pursued. They literally have not asked for instruction the way Don did, at least to my knowledge.
   

Of all these possible reasons, I think #3 is the most likely. If it is possible to get Confederation friends to return to this path of instruction, it must be expressly requested in the context of a clear dedication to a rather lengthy course of individual study as well as a more thematic and systematic approach to asking questions.

I also think that, since we've lost our most archetype-aware senior channel, we're at quite a disadvantage relative to where we could be. I hope Q'uo is afforded the opportunity to speak through Dr. Tyman at some point in the future.

Peregrine, what do you think about the Confederation's relative silence on this topic?

P.S. I did ask a question of Q'uo about archetypes at a session in the not too distant past; search for J's question including the phrase "I have been contemplating the archetypes of catalyst and experience."
