Some ideas on this archetype:
The process of resurrection can be summed up like this.
A will incarnates into a body. This will has two influences that are grafted onto it. One from the body itself. The hereditary influences, the societal influences, the physical world’s influences. And the other type of influence is the influence of the Spirit, which are the influences corresponding to the Divine: Truth, Justice, Balance, Harmony and Integrity.
The process of transformation involves the individual will allowing either the higher, the Spirit, to guide it or the lower, separated self, to guide it. It is a question of whether to subvert Nature or to be guided by Nature.
To be reborn is to have first died or gone asleep. The Spirit, taking on a false persona, the “ego”, the Matrix of the Spirit, Typhon, becomes engulfed in the trappings of that which has perverted Nature.
The Spirit has sacrificed itself and died. It eventually is resurrected after an intense period of awakening. And when reborn, the individual has transcended life and death. As the anonymous author in the book Meditation on the Tarot states, “
“It is the neutralization of both life and death. The one who is resurrected can act as if he were living and, at the same time, he is free from terrestrial links as if he were dead.”
This individual who is resurrected is not the same person who was once dead. They have become the living embodiment of the Three. The holy trinity. That which, as Jakob Bohme says, “makes the Invisible known to the visible, tangible universe.”
The Father, or the Sun, Source, the Logos. Mother, or the Holy Spirit, Sophia, Wisdom, or Nature. And the third aspect, the Child depicted in the card is the result of the love between the Father and Mother, between the fiery light of the Sun and the receptive mystery of Nature. It is the Son, the Christ, the "Mediator" between the Divine and the Material.
The Egyptians saw the sun as the symbol of immortality, for the sun died each night only to return again the next day.
The Spirit, like the Sun, moves into darkness upon the incarnation, only to eventually rise again.
The Sun is the central Logos and its light illuminates the realm of Matter. The Invisible becomes known to the visible. Manly P. Hall writes that the realm of Spirit is the realm of causation and the material world is the realm of effects; while the intellectual or soul - the world is the sphere of meditation. In the Christian tradition, Christ is a personified higher intellect and soul nature, called “The Meditator”.
Man is the mediator between the physical and the spiritual realms. The regenerated are illuminated by the light of the Logos, by the Sun within. Thus the material world of matter is transformed by the Logos as its light moves through you and out into the physical world.
