Studying the Tarot

[Sacred Fool]

I suppose the primeval darkness that Ra talks about is neither negative nor positive, just primeval where creation forms or where light can appear, right ?

I normally avoid these types of discussions....but.......


The answer to your query, flofrog, is "yes."

The term "matrix" is directly related to the Latin word mater (meaning "mother," also related to "matter," as in "stuff") and, in the sense of definition cited above: womb.

Ra: I am Ra. In the mind complex the matrix may be described as consciousness. It has been called the Magician. It is to be noted that of itself consciousness is unmoved. The potentiator of consciousness is the unconscious. This encompasses a vast realm of potential in the mind.

The primeval darkness (having nothing whatsoever to do with any notion of "evil") is consciousness itself, but in a state of unconsciousness (you know, like Sleeping Beauty).  This is the womb of Creation: undifferentiated consciousness. 

Later on, Prince Charming shows up and differentiation is born, which of course, brings with it loads of ensuing complications...such as discussions like this one.

And we all lived happily ever after!!!!
