Random Archetype Insights

[Plenum]

there is a point of interest here regards the Great Way of the Mind (the Chariot card).

first of all - the beloved deck from the Church of Light group:



both the sphinxes are standing upright!  on all 4 legs!

/ /

but this is NOT the card that Don was working off!  This is the card they used:



well - it *was* redrawn - with respect to the orb in the right hand.

But look at the sphinx's!  They are almost in a sedentary posture.  

The point of interest that Don questioned was - why is the left leg bent in each of the sphinx?

Ra's answer is something else!  It touches on some intense intense metaphysical principles.  The Great Way of the Mind is one of the more complex and encompassing of the archetypes.

103.14 Questioner: The bent left leg of the two sphinxes indicate[s] a transformation that occurs on the left that doesn’t on the right, possibly an inability in that position to move. Does this have any merit?

Ra: I am Ra. The observation has merit in that it may serve as the obverse of the connotation intended. The position is intended to show two items, one of which is the dual possibilities of the time-full characters there drawn.

The resting is possible in time, as is the progress. If a mixture is attempted, the upright, moving leg will be greatly hampered by the leg that is bent. The other meaning has to do with the same right angle, with its architectural squareness, as the device upon the breast of the actor.

Time/space is close in this concept complex, brought close due to the veiling process and its efficaciousness in producing actors who wish to use the resources of the mind in order to evolve.
