GLB, the need for balancing of the rational and the intuitive could indeed turn out to be a key concept in terms of experiences on earth.
Quote:88.16 Questioner: I will also assume, which may not be correct, that the present list that I have of the twenty-two names of the tarot cards are not in exact agreement with Ra’s original generation of the tarot. Could you describe the original tarot, first telling me if there were twenty-two archetypes? That must have been the same. And if they were the same as the list that I have read you in a previous session or if there were differences?
Ra: I am Ra. As we have stated previously, each archetype is a concept complex and may be viewed not only by individuals but by those of the same racial and planetary influences in unique ways. Therefore, it is not informative to reconstruct the rather minor differences in descriptive terms between the tarot used by us and that used by those of Egypt and the spiritual descendants of those first students of this system of study.
The one great breakthrough which was made after our work in third density was done was the proper emphasis given to the Arcanum Number Twenty-Two which we have called The Choice. In our own experience we were aware that such an unifying archetype existed but did not give that archetype the proper complex of concepts in order to most efficaciously use that archetype in order to promote our evolution.
In the LOO, Ra mentions that proper emphasis was given to the concept of The Choice after their work in third density was done. From the experiences on earth, it could indeed turn out that it is vital to integrate the dark in the mind with the light, i.e., to synthesize the shadow (borrowing from Carl Jung) with the conscious self. Otherwise, survival and preservation in planetary environments that are as complex (in terms of societal structures) and generally non-empathetic like present day earth would be close to impossible. Planet earth would have great many insights to offer once our third density lessons are distilled.
