Thanks Plenum--I had to look up Ken Wilber! (and I'm always pleased when someone gives me another thread to investigate!). I hope I cited you correctly. I've been contemplating the chakra connection, but I have a great deal to learn about chakras. If you can suggest a good website or book, that would be helpful. Have they been equated to the Paths in the Qabalah--I'd understand them better probably through that lens, or through Astrology.

I think you are absolutely right about this being an individual path, but we can encourage each other, and I appreciate your encouragement and the fact that you are seeking along this way as well.

Like you, I'm very pragmatic. When I was working through the Qabalah (something I am nowhere near completing...), I noticed that I could throw just about any situation up on the Tree and look for relationships (e.g., person A could be functioning in a Netzach way and I could be coming from a position at Hod...etc.). I'm thinking the same could be done with the Tarot...but have yet to use it fully--I am finding, however, that pairing it down to Ra's material is helping to elucidate the other scholarship that has been amassed around the topic...by people doing the same thing that you and I are doing--studying to come to their own conclusions and testing them against Life.

Peace and Love to you too. I'll be waiting for your next installment of insight as well!
