The Veil and Learning, Remembering

[Lavazza]

Hi Lavazza,

Hey 3D, Long time no see!

I'm not sure how far your study of the Law of One has taken you, but I suspect that you haven't yet ventured into Book IV (the most confusing, intriguing and rewarding IMHO).

Quite right, I am currently near the end of Book III, somewhere near the late sixties (session numbers).

Questioner: Turning, then, to my analogy or example of the newborn infant and its undistorted Matrix of the Mind, this newborn infant has its subconscious mind veiled from the Matrix of the Mind. The second archetype, the Potentiator of the Mind, is going...

...by those portions of the mind/body/spirit complex which are articulated by the archetypes of Transformation.

Is Ra making reference to the archetypes in the Tarot card deck? I am unfamiliar with these. Is there some place that offers an explanation for each of them as they are interpreted in TLOO? I found this, but it has so much information as to be un-helpful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarot

What Ra describes in the experiences of an infant is a set of complex interactions between the significators and potentiators of the mind and body (acting behind the veil) as they present their biases for seeking and processing catalysts to the unfed matrix of the mind (in its conscious, veiled state). You can see then, that even with a new born child, the distilled biases from all previous incarnations (even those of 1D and 2D) influence, or color how a new experience is perceived.

Makes sense to me, and coincides with others' explanations within this thread.

As the mind/body/spirit evolves and chooses a polarity, the process can become more and more conscious, but it is still based upon the distilled (or programmed) biases that have been built up over eons of existence. One way to think of the crystallization process that peregrine refers to, is that through meditation and conscious consideration of the catalysts presented to us, and our reaction to them, we are in effect re-programming our biases to allow us to more fully process each catalyst. In the study of the Archetypes, it is through the archetypes of the Transformation of the mind, body, and spirit that one accomplishes this reprogramming.

This may be true, but all of my incarnations in India, sleeping on beds of nails still hasn't reprogrammed my reactions to pain catalysts. Just kidding of course! The above quote also makes perfect sense. Thanks for sharing!

I think the learning has to do with the balancing process; perhaps you are too proud and need to learn humility or vice versa. When you gain the qualities you need to develop, they are there inside you and you go on to another lesson. Think of yourself as a teenager and then think of yourself now. How has your perspective broadened? This shows the lessons you have incorporated into your being. Often the same things occur over and over (such as creepy boy/girl friends, cruel authority figures, ungrateful friends); it is hard to know how to grow out of these and takes a lot of thought and inner exploration.

Yes. The comparison of teenage years vs. adult years is a good one to make, certainly we learn many, many things about our selves in between those two stages. I'm sure when looking at all of our incarnations and thinking on it as a single lifetime, we have all had hundreds of "teenage years" incarnations. I hope (and suspect) that many humans are now in their "adult years" level incarnations, although this certainly can't be exclusively the case when we examine some of the more bellicose aspects of our collective humanity.
