My theoretical and practical experience is that the spirit is the microcosm of the Infinite Creator in us, and while every iota of the creation contains the Infinite Creator, the spirit is where our awareness resides in the everflowing fractual that is Infinity. A universe inside a universe.
The spirit is the formless, observing self, which has the freedom to move and focus attention whichever way desired. In that way it is limitless. It can be poured into any manifestation, whether thought structure or personal characteristic, and animates that which is shadow/illusion into that which is real. It becomes real because the Creator is watching, watching through you, watching as you.
There are other qualities of the spirit which are ethereal and worked upon during one life-time to the next. So I ask, how can one's 'focus of attention' be different in quality from one person/time to another? Well it can increase in intensity, fortitude and depth. It can have a deeper bias towards radiating its essential nature versus wanting to absorb that which is observed into its own darkness. It's a function of how the Creator (Infinity) is channelled into the illusion, thereby Ra calling it a shuttle, for it is not fully the Creator or fully the illusion, but more accurately the nexus or interface.
When looking at the major arcana of the Spirit, one can see the theme of polarity and the powers of light and dark being more profound and essential than the other sets.
Let's use the experience of spirit as an example:

The animal spirit of dog denotes loyalty, an elevated view of what is essentially bias. But what is the spirit loyal to/biased towards? An empire of light or darkness? The path is only lit by moonlight so steps must be taken carefully as the reflection of false light can seriously harm those of positive polarity (moonlight also being only a reflection of sunlight in a dark sky). The pool at the bottom is shallow, surface level, the night-sky infinite in depth. So to which direction and consequently depth will your focus go?
Just some of my thoughts.
