The Great Chain of Mind

[zenmaster]

It is interesting to attempt to determine the essence of an archetype, because that helps seat it in the imagination. For example, the experience of mind archetype combines the principles of activity (using resources), consciousness (masculine quality), and nobility. Ra chose their words for the sake of precision and minimizing possibility for distortion. "...it is only through the catalyst which has been processed by the potentiated consciousness that experience may ensue. Thusly is the conscious mind ennobled by the use of the vast resources of the unconscious mind." So experience is being equated to ennobling.

Noble comes from the latin "nobilis". Nobilis was derived from from "nosco" meaning "I know, recognize, am acquainted with"
It is interesting how recognizing "raises one's status", so to speak. Sort of like, by virtue of recognizing, one becomes recognized.
