An Archetype Workbook

[third-density-being]

Thank You Joseph for sharing your Work / for your Teachings. You've Helped me Greatly in the area of the Mind.

Regarding The Great Way of  the Spirit. Spirit contain All. That includes both male and female principles. The division You've made (page 44, last article):

The conscious portion of the spirit moves carefully into its experiences, always
scrutinizing itself to be sure that the influence that guides it is pure. Normally this
conscious portion must grope in the moonlight, but sometimes its field of vision is
expanded in a flash of light, potent but temporary. The unconscious spirit is an
influence felt but not seen. Sometimes it is felt as a demon, whether inner or outer,
and other times it is felt as a small guiding light. The two depend upon each other. The
conscious spirit has no guidance without the unconscious; the unconscious spirit has
no clarity or discipline without the conscious.

- may explain how this Great Way may contain both principles. It's impossible when You think of it in rigid terms. Depending on Ones state of Self / advancement / readiness (even unconscious) to go further than current point of Self. Experience of each Arcanum may vary in relation to Ones Progress / Work already done / processed.
At the beginning Matrix of the Spirit is dark/unknown and frightening/alien state / unconscious / female principle. Gradually with inner progress it brightens and become more available as foundation for further work / progress / become more conscious / male principle. Both principles are at constant play on this Great Way and their relations depends on Mind/Body configuration / progress / readiness to process / include Spirit Catalyst / Experience into their Cycles (to allow to consciously influence them). It doesn't mean that "longer Ones walking" this Path the more Male principle and less Female principle is within each Arcanum / Step. Rather their Balance and Union is emphasized / expressed in different way. I think that's exactly what depicts Great Way of the Spirit - perfect harmony of Female/Male principle that is a Foundation of the World / Seasons / Creation / Unity.
All above is of course only my opinion.

I envy You the ability to translate such profound concepts into daily experience with pinpointing the subtleties of different aspects of everyday life and attitudes People have / share. Great Way Graph (page 59) is Very interesting. I understand it as depicting Steps on the Great Ways made by completing Greater Cycles of each Way (via Transformation facilitated by educated/actualized Significator[-Self] via Lesser Cycles).

I wonder if You ever consider that when You work so closely with Concepts offered by Ra and with such Purity as presented by your approach, that Ra may literally "be with You"? I think there might be some wiggling in Ra's Complex when You posted this ;-) Your Thoughts/Words/Work Helped at least one person here - me. Thank You once again.
