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).
She is sitting because the Matrix of Body represents the balanced functioning of body as it naturally is. Just as the Matrix of Mind represents the unfed conncious mind, this would be the unfed body complex. She is blindfolded because the Matrix can’t regulate the body by itself. The Matrix of Body is therefore protected by its lower nature, represented by the lion, who has divine guidance represented by the sphinx it’s back, and the angel standing behind her.
That’s all I have for now.. I’m going to continue contemplating these cards. For me personally allowing a period of no-thought is also very helpful! This is to allow for the Intuitive mind to work.
"Each portion of the body complex is in a state of growth at all times. The reversal of this is seen as disease and has the benign function of ending an incarnation at an appropriate space/time nexus."
The growth, when this matrix is functioning properly, having been regulated by the potentiator (wisdom), is in a constant state of "healing" we might say. When the potentiator of the body (wisdom) has not been adequately tapped into, the growth is no longer balanced and even functioning -- that is to say, the growth may go out of control. For example what is cancer? Uncontrolled and imbalanced growth in most cases. The cells go rogue. What parts of the body do we discard and which parts do we keep? What cells are sloughed off, and which ones are allowed to grow? Are the invaders (enemy cells, bacterium, and viruses) being slain and the kingdom of bodily cooperative cells being protected? Is justice (balance) being realized, or has the bodily kingdom become corrupt due to a lack of properly invoking the potentiator?
The person on the square seat (which represents the physical world) holds a sword in the right hand and the scale in the left hand, but justice is blindfolded, and requires the counsel of the potentiator to coordinate the balance through the application of wisdom. The angel is not blindfolded and protects, to some extent, within the constraints of free will, the naive or innocent bodily matrix before incarnational opportunities have occurred allowing interaction with the potentiator to be explored in depth enough for true responsibility to emerge. For example, when you're young you can eat almost anything and get away with it, relatively unscathed. As you get older, and you know more about health, you have to be more careful about what you place in your body. The angel, hidden protector, gave you some leeway in your youthful ignorance. But now, that one is older and (hopefully) wiser, there is more responsibility about how to regulate the "even functioning" of the bodily matrix. As the body ages (catalyst of body known as the wheel of fate or unceasing march of time), the even functioning gets more difficult to maintain (the natural course of a limited space/time incarnation), thus more wisdom is required to maintain the balance, or justice, in the body.
I hope this helps aid your understanding brother.
