That's how I see it. Those of Ra realize they cannot teach adeptness, though - they can only point the way somewhat and hope people go within and uncover the process. An intellectual understanding of how all this unfolds, while relatable, is insufficient. That's why I said on another thread that the most important thing Ra brings to the table is the idea of infinity and mystery, not any specific information. It just happens that the specific information is quite interesting and in many cases actionable.

And meditation is usually about clearing the mind of all distortions, or in other words, make it unfed. In that state, it becomes the creator of no polarity then, doesn't it? And meditation is said to work powerfully on the chakric system, which indicates that unfettering the mind means diligent work with the energy centers. I hope I am making sense. The corollary is that a certain degree of adeptness in working with the chakras confers great mind potential.
It makes very good sense; in meditation we wait for inspiration, we accept and listen.
But also understand that the archetypes are not going to be articulable in their fullest expressions. You're reaching the limit that I've encountered, where discussing these concepts exceeds the words we use and becomes necessarily a more personal investigation. If Ra could only impart limited insight into the archetypes, how much poorer will our discussions be!
I'd only offer that (A) the archetypes are probably the most readily available outside tool for the kind of deeper appreciation you seek, (B) the archetypes are not code words, so to speak; in other words, to the best of my knowledge they impart concepts that relate to dynamic tension or interplay between concepts and are hard to talk about as concepts themselves. In other words, I agree that meditation is an expression of the matrix archetype; I disagree that meditation *is*, in some final way, the matrix archetype. I just want to be clear about that, because if the archetypes just become code words for tangible concepts we already know, we lose some of their potency. It is their very abstraction and impenetrability that gives them their utility, applicability, and relevance.

In light of that, the saying attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, the ancient Egyptian personality, acquires new meaning for me. The quote is -
Quote:THE ALL is MIND; The Universe is Mental[/quote]
I think there is profound deepness here, but I struggle with how to articulate it. That means you're on to something! This, I feel, is where we have to, once again, unwind our premises, our models, our conscious experience of these matters, and start to experience them in a direct and archetypal, elemental way.
