The Three Matrix Cards

[Plenum]

I have an idea of the Magician and the Devil, but Justice is harder to penetrate for me. The significant parts of this concept complex that I see are: the blind-folded eyes; Justice is sitting; an Angel is behind Justice; a Lotus flower (?) above the head; the scales and sword in both hands; and the lion with a sphinx (?) on it’s back. Justice is also represented as feminine (and the Potentiator as masculine).

all I can say is that I've cycled through each of these components/elements ... over time ... in my quest for Clarity!  It is one difficult archetype!

it may be for a couple of issues:

1) the more 'mental' orientation in the western mindset.  Which has led to an increasing disconnect from the physical vehicle.

2) being in a male physical body - which makes this card (a female-oriented archetype) more naturally distant, and less activated for us (on a conscious level).

so it's definitely been so hard to get to the heart of.

I can offer one piece of advice, regards the symbolism/analysis.

It's worked for me; but may or may not be appropriate for you (and others).

But when I'm struggling, I just look at the card itself, and my mind's eye will be drawn to ONE area of confusion.  It is like all the symbols you listed above ... but the mind will focus in on ONE, as being the next step in Clarification.

And once you have a focus, you can apply all your efforts in comtemplation, dreamwork, and receptivity to that area of the archetype.

It WON'T reveal everything; but much like a jigsaw puzzle of 15 pieces - each piece you put in place will contribute to the greater Resolution.

So applied effort (in that fashion) can eventually bear fruit.

Ra: I am Ra. This is very close to our meaning. It was our intention to suggest that one or more of you go through the plan of study which we have suggested. The queries having to do with the archetypes as found in the tarot after this point may take the form of observing what seem to be the characteristics of each archetype; relationships between mind, body, and spiritual archetypes of the same ranking such as Matrix; or archetypes as seen in relationship to polarity, especially when observed in the pairings.

Any observations made by a student which has fulfilled these considerations will receive our comments in return. Our great avoidance of interpreting, for the first time, for the learn/teacher various elements of a picture upon a piece of pasteboard is involved both with the Law of Confusion and with the difficulties of the distortions of the pictures upon the pasteboard. Therefore, we may suggest a conscientious review of that which we have already given concerning this subject as opposed to the major reliance being either upon any rendition of the archetype pictures or any system which has been arranged as a means of studying these pictures.
