Sorry about that. I didn't expect that looking for the inward aspects would constitute a derailment.
Here's another shot at it, again not an attempt to organize the outer world, but something else. The spinning wheel and those spinning upon it represent the distractions of life and the attendant metal mesmerization, whereas the sphinx dude represents the poise one may achieve (rising above the swirl) while living amidst the constant bustling changes. Then, what do you do with that poise? You balance the raw animal vitality while opening the inner ear to the song of nature and the fecund wonders therein. Then what?
I answered your questions and you don’t like my answers. I don’t know what you’re looking for and it was really bothering me yesterday. Maybe “derailing” the thread was the wrong way to say it. But I was derailed from actually contemplating these images. I’m having to defend why I have the desire to study the archetypal mind? If you’re not attracted to the tarot images, that’s fine. There are other methods of studying our deep minds. Ra didn’t use physical images, instead they used visualization of concept complexes. They used images, just not physical images.
I seek to know. Why? Because I don’t “know.” I don’t have the answers to myself, God, the universe, etc. Having a relatively undistorted perception of what potentiation, Experience, and transformation entails, one can work along those lines to affect transformation to the great way.
Why do any of us have the desire to know ourselves and to become more than we are now? The Lord’s original desire. Why do I also desire what the Lord desires? We are his children: we are the Creator’s hands, eyes, ears, etc.
Anyway, these are not just simple concepts. They are complexes of concepts. Having the general idea of it does not suffice. I know that the transformation of the mind is called the lovers. What does that transformation entail? Same with Body. By using these images in meditation and contemplation, we may discern and translate these concepts into something understandable. It is the language of the deep mind: symbols. The magic happens when you perceive the “flow,” one concept complex into the next.
I wasn't trying to say "Show me your papers! What do you think you're doing here?"
I was trying to inquire about any specific interior intimations which might be prodding your quest. Sorry that went off the rails.
