Random Archetype Insights

[Plenum]

Ra advised that it could be quite helpful to study certain archetypes in PAIRINGS.  Specific PAIRINGS.  The matrix and the Potentiator.  Transformation and Great Way, etc.

Here we have 2 of the Spirit Archetypes.

Spirit Card #3: The Star (Hope/Faith)
Spirit Card #4: The Moon

They are - respectively - the Catalyst of the Spirit, and the Experience of the Spirit.

Some quotes:

The STAR

80.13 Questioner: Then is this, from the point of view or with respect to the fifteenth archetype, somewhat of an excursion into the Matrix of the Spirit in this process? Does that make any sense?

Ra: I am Ra. The excursion of which you speak and the process of disassociation is most usually linked with that archetype you call Hope which we would prefer to call Faith.

This archetype is the Catalyst of the Spirit and, because of the illuminations of the Potentiator of the Spirit, will begin to cause these changes in the adept’s viewpoint.

The MOON

80.15 Ra: I am Ra. It is a challenge to answer such a query, for there is some confusion in its construction. However, we shall attempt to speak upon the subject.

The adept, whether positive or negative, has the same Matrix. The Potentiator is also identical.

Due to the Catalyst of each adept the adept may begin to pick and choose that into which it shall look further.

The Experience of the Spirit, that which you have called the Moon, is then, by far, the more manifest of influences upon the polarity of the adept.

Even the most unhappy of experiences, shall we say, which seem to occur in the Catalyst of the adept, seen from the viewpoint of the spirit, may, with the discrimination possible in shadow, be worked with until light equaling the light of brightest noon descends upon the adept and positive or service-to-others illumination has occurred.

The service-to-self adept will satisfy itself with the shadows and, grasping the light of day, will toss back the head in grim laughter, preferring the darkness.

Let's take the Star/Faith card first.

There are obviously many many elements at play.  They can be unpacked for their personal worth to an individual's seeking.

For the purposes here - I will call this card the TRANSITAS.

TRANSITAS could be more commonly understood as the english word 'Transit'.  To be able to move from one place to another.

I've assigned this particular meaning, because once there has been interaction between the Potentiator (Lightning) and the Matrix card (the Devil), the result is that a 'new way forward' is available to the seeker.

I reference the quote above here:

Due to the Catalyst of each adept the adept may begin to pick and choose that into which it shall look further.

So the Star card presents new 'pathways' forward; where previously none had been seen.

There is a kind of 'Faith' here that ensues.  The difference between having a way forward (however difficult) is quite stark compared to thinking that there is NO WAY forward. (dark night of the soul).

So the Star is a kind of TRANSIT point.

So how does this tie into the Moon card - as a kind of 'relationship'?

Well - we can see that moon presents 2 diametric options.  To gain access to the white pyramid (positive polarity) one has to confront and contend with the dark dog (darkness).  To gain access to the dark pyramid (negative polarity), the seeker has to contend with the white dog (light and radiation).

Once the Catalyst has been grasped (the Star/Transit/a path forward), one then SEES that the Path is not obstacle-free.  For the positive seeker, there is much confrontation (with outer and inner negativity).

But it is the ONLY WAY to continue forward on that path (the white pyramid).

The issue here with the Moon is that as one increases one's path (becomes more light or more dark), the CONTRAST also increases.  So for a very positive seeker, even a small amount of darkness becomes apparent in one's consciousness - because the the brightness of one's light makes it more obvious.  To someone shining less brightly, that SAME DARKNESS would just appear as grey, or not even observable.  But it would be there regardless.

So the Correlation can be drawn here -

Star: recognising a path forward
Moon: seeing that the path has obstacles, and facing the consequences of that.

Even the most unhappy of experiences, shall we say, which seem to occur in the Catalyst of the adept, seen from the viewpoint of the spirit, may, with the discrimination possible in shadow
