The Law of One, Book IV, Session 78
Questioner: Thank you.
I am going to go back to an earlier time, if you could call it that, in evolution to try to establish a very fundamental base for some of the concepts that seem to be the foundation of everything that we experience so that we can more fully examine the basis of our evolution.
I am guessing that in our Milky Way Galaxy (the major galaxy with billions of stars) that the progress of evolution was from the center outward toward the rim and that in the early evolution of this galaxy the first distortion was not extended down past the sub Logos simply because it was not thought of or conceived of and that this extension of the first distortion, which created polarization, was something that occurred in what we would call a later time as the evolution progressed outward from the center of the galaxy.
Am I in any way correct in this statement?
Ra: I am Ra. You are correct.
Questioner: We have the first, second, and third distortions of the Law of One as free will, love, and light.
Am I correct in assuming that the central core of this major galaxy began to form with the third distortion?
Was that the origin of our Milky Way Galaxy?
Ra: I am Ra. In the most basic or teleological sense you are incorrect as the one infinite Creator is all that there is.
In an undistorted seed-form you are correct in seeing the first manifestation visible to the eye of the body complex which you inhabit as the third distortion, light, or to use a technical term, limitless light.
Questioner: I realize that we are on very difficult ground, you might say, for precise terminology.
It is totally displaced from our system of coordinates for evaluation in our present system of language.
These early Logoi that formed in the center of the galaxy wished, I assume, to create a system of experience for the one Creator.
Did they then start with no previous experience or information about how to do this?
This is difficult to ask.
Ra: I am Ra. At the beginning of this creation or, as you may call it, octave there were those things known which were the harvest of the preceding octave.
About the preceding creation, we know as little as we do of the octave to come.
However, we are aware of those pieces of gathered concept which were the tools which the Creator had in the knowing of the self.
These tools were of three kinds.
Firstly,
there was an awareness of the efficiency for experience of mind, body, and spirit.
Secondly,
there was an awareness of the most efficacious nature or, if you will, significator of mind, body, and spirit.
Thirdly,
there was the awareness of two aspects of mind, of body, and of spirit that the significator could use to balance all catalyst.
You may call these two the matrix and the potentiator.
Questioner: Could you elaborate please on the nature and quality of the matrix and the potentiator?
Ra: I am Ra.
In the mind complex
the matrix may be described as consciousness.
It has been called the Magician.
It is to be noted that of itself consciousness is unmoved.
The potentiator of consciousness is the unconscious.
This encompasses a vast realm of potential in the mind.
In the body
the matrix may be seen as Balanced Working or Even Functioning.
Note that here the matrix is always active with no means of being inactive.
The potentiator of the body complex, then, may be called Wisdom for it is only through judgment that the unceasing activities and proclivities of the body complex may be experienced in useful modes.
The Matrix of the Spirit
is what you may call the Night of the Soul or Primeval Darkness.
Again we have that which is not capable of movement or work.
The potential power of this extremely receptive matrix is such that the potentiator may be seen as Lightning.
In your archetypical system called the tarot this has been refined into the concept complex of the Lightning Struck Tower.
However, the original potentiator was light in its sudden and fiery form; that is, the lightning itself.
Questioner: Would you elucidate with respect to the significator you spoke of?
Ra: I am Ra. The original significators may undifferentiatedly be termed the mind, the body, and the spirit.
Questioner: Then we have, at the beginning of this galactic evolution, an archetypical mind that is the product of the previous octave which this galaxy then used as and acts upon under the first distortion so as to allow for what we experience as polarity.
Was there any concept of polarity carried through from the previous octave in the sense of service-to-others or serviceto-self polarity?
Ra: I am Ra. There was polarity in the sense of the mover and the moved.
There was no polarity in the sense of service-to-self and service-to-others.
Questioner: Then the first experiences, as you say, were in monochrome.
Was the concept of the seven densities of vibration with the evolutionary process taking place in discrete densities carried through from the previous octave?
Ra: I am Ra. To the limits of our knowledge, which are narrow, the ways of the octave are without time; that is, there are seven densities in each creation infinitely.
Questioner: Then I am assuming that the central suns of our galaxy, in starting the evolutionary process in this galaxy, provided for, in their plans, the refinement of consciousness through the densities just as we experience it here.
However, they did not conceive of the polarization of consciousness with respect to service-to-self and service-to-others. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.
Questioner: Why do the densities have the qualities that they have?
You have named the densities with respect to their qualities, the next density being that of love and so on.
Can you tell me why these qualities exist in that form?
Is it possible to answer that question?
Ra: I am Ra. It is possible.
Questioner: Will you please answer that?
Ra: I am Ra. The nature of the vibratory range peculiar to each quantum of the octave is such that the characteristics of it may be described with the same certainty with which you perceive a color with your optical apparatus if it is functioning properly.
Questioner: So the original evolution then was planned by the Logos but the first distortion was not extended to the product.
At some point this first distortion was extended and the first service-to-self polarity emerged.
Is this correct and if so, could you tell me the history of this process of emergence?
Ra: I am Ra. As proem let me state that the Logoi always conceived of themselves as offering free will to the sub-Logoi in their care.
The sub-Logoi had freedom to experience and experiment with consciousness, the experiences of the body, and the illumination of the spirit.
That having been said, we shall speak to the point of your query.
The first Logos to instill what you now see as free will, in the full sense, in its sub-Logoi came to this creation due to contemplation in depth of the concepts or possibilities of conceptualizations of what we have called the significators.
The Logos posited the possibility of the mind, the body, and the spirit as being complex.
In order for the significator to be what it is not, it then must be granted the free will of the Creator.
This set in motion a quite lengthy, in your terms, series of Logos’s improving or distilling this seed thought.
The key was the significator becoming a complex.
Questioner: Then our particular Logos, when it created Its own particular creation, was at some point far down the evolutionary spiral of the experiment with the significator becoming what it was not and, therefore, I am assuming, was primarily concerned in designing the archetypes in such a way that they would create the acceleration of this polarization.
Is this in any way correct?
Ra: I am Ra. We would only comment briefly.
It is generally correct.
You may fruitfully view each Logos and its design as the Creator experiencing Itself.
The seed concept of the significator being a complex introduces two things:
firstly, the Creator against Creator
in one sub-Logos in what you may call dynamic tension;
secondly, the concept of free will,
once having been made fuller by its extension into the sub-Logoi known as mind/body/spirit complexes, creates and re-creates and continues to create as a function of its very nature.
Questioner: The choice of polarity being unique as a circumstance, shall I say, for the archetypical basis for the evolution of consciousness in our particular experience indicates to me that we have arrived, through a long process of the Creator knowing Itself, at a position of present or maximum efficiency for the design of a process of experience.
That design for maximum efficiency is in the roots of consciousness and is the archetypical mind and is a product of everything that has gone before.
There are, unquestionably, relatively pure archetypical concepts for the seven concepts for mind, body, and spirit.
I feel that the language that we have for these is somewhat inadequate.
However, we shall continue to attempt to investigate the foundation for this and I am hoping that I have laid the foundation with some degree of accuracy in attempting to set a background for the development of the archetypes of our Logos.
Have I left out anything or made any errors, or could you make any comments on my attempt to lay the foundation for the construction that our Logos used for the archetypes?
Ra: I am Ra. Your queries are thoughtful.
Questioner: Are they accurate, or have I made mistakes?
Ra: I am Ra. There are no mistakes.
Questioner: Let me put it this way.
Have I made missteps in my analysis of what has led to the construction of the archetypes that we experience?
Ra: I am Ra. We may share with you the observation that judgment is no part of interaction between mind/body/spirit complexes.
We have attempted to answer each query as fully as your language and the extent of your previous information allow.
We may suggest that if, in perusing this present material, you have further queries, refining any concept, these queries may be asked and, again, we shall attempt adequate rejoinders.
Questioner: I understand your limitations in answering that.
Thank you.
The Law of One, Book IV, Session 79
Questioner: Would the Hierophant then be somewhat of a governor or sorter of these effects so as to create the proper assimilation by the unconscious of that which comes through the conscious?
Ra: I am Ra. Although thoughtful, the supposition is incorrect in its heart.
Questioner: What would be the Hierophant?
Ra: I am Ra. The Hierophant is the Significator of the Body [Mind2] complex, its very nature.
We may note that the characteristics of which you speak do have bearing upon the Significator of the Mind complex but are not the heart.
The heart of the mind complex is that dynamic entity which absorbs, seeks, and attempts to learn.
2 Ra corrected this error in Session #80.
The Hierophant is the Significator of the Mind.
Questioner: Then is the Hierophant that link, you might say, between the mind and the body?
Ra: I am Ra. There is a strong relationship between the significators of the mind, the body, and the spirit.
Your statement is too broad.
Questioner: Let me skip over the Hierophant for a minute because I am really not understanding that at all and just ask if the Lovers represent a merging of the conscious and the unconscious or the communication of the conscious and unconscious?
Ra: I am Ra. Again, without being at all unperceptive, you miss the heart of this particular archetype which may be more properly called the Transformation of the Mind.
Questioner: Transformation of the mind into what?
Ra: I am Ra. As you observe Archetype Six you may see the student of the mysteries being transformed by the need to choose betwixt the light and the dark in mind.
Questioner: Would the Conqueror or Chariot then represent the culmination of the action of the first six archetypes into a conquering of the mental processes, even possibly removing the veil?
Ra: I am Ra. This is most perceptive.
The Archetype Seven is one difficult to enunciate.
We may call it the Path, the Way, or the Great Way of the Mind.
Its foundation is a reflection and substantial summary of Archetypes One through Six.
One may also see the Way of the Mind
as showing the kingdom or fruits of appropriate travel through the mind in that the mind continues to move as majestically through the material it conceives of as a chariot drawn by royal lions or steeds.
At this time we would suggest one more full query for this instrument is experiencing some distortions towards pain.
Questioner: Then I will just ask about the one of the archetypes which I am the least able to understand at this point if I can use that word at all.
I am still very much in the dark, so to speak, in respect to the Hierophant and precisely what it is.
Could you give me some other indication of what that is?
Ra: I am Ra. You have been most interested in the Significator which must needs become complex.
The Hierophant
is the original archetype of mind which has been made complex through the subtile movements of the conscious and unconscious.
The complexities of mind were evolved rather than the simple melding of experience from Potentiator to Matrix.
The mind itself became an actor possessed of free will and, more especially, will.
As the Significator of the mind, the Hierophant has the will to know, but what shall it do with its knowledge, and for what reasons does it seek?
The potentials of a complex significator are manifold.
Are there any brief queries at this working?
The Law of One, Book IV, Session 80
Ra: I am Ra. We greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator.
Before we initiate this working we would wish to correct an error which we have found in previous material.
That Archetype Five which you have called the Hierophant is the Significator of the Mind complex.
This instrument is prey to sudden flares towards the distortion known as pain.
We are aware of your conscientious attempts to aid the instrument but know of no other modality available to the support group other than the provision of water therapy upon the erect spinal portion of the physical body complex, which we have previously mentioned.
This instrument’s distortions of body do not ever rule out, shall we say, such flares during these periods of increased distortion of the body complex.
Our contact may become momentarily garbled.
Therefore, we request that any information which seems garbled be questioned as we wish this contact to remain as undistorted as the limitations of language, mentality, and sensibility allow.
We communicate now.
The Law of One, Book IV, Session 79
Questioner: I would like to question about the third-density experience of those entities just prior to the original extension of the first distortion to the sub-Logoi to create the split of polarity.
Can you describe, in general, the differences between the third density experience of these mind/body/spirits and the ones who have evolved upon this planet now?
Ra: I am Ra. This material has been previously covered.
Please query for specific interest.
Questioner: Specifically, in the experience where only the service-to-others polarity in third density evolved, was the veil that was drawn with respect to knowledge of previous incarnations, etc., in effect for those entities?
Ra: I am Ra. No.
Questioner: Was the reincarnational process like the one that we experience here in which the third-density body is entered and exited numerous times during the cycle?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.
Questioner: Is it possible to give a time of incarnation with respect to our years and would you do so if it is?
Ra: I am Ra. The optimal incarnative period is somewhere close to a measure you call a millennium.
This is, as you may say, a constant regardless of other factors of the third-density experience.
Questioner: Then prior to the first extension of the first distortion the veil or loss of awareness did not occur.
From this I will make the assumption that this veil or loss of remembering consciously that which occurred before the incarnation was the primary tool for extending the first distortion. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. Your correctness is limited.
This was the first tool.
Questioner: Then from that statement I assume that the Logos first devised the tool of separating the unconscious from the conscious during what we call physical incarnations to achieve its objective? Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. Yes.
Questioner: Then from that statement I would also assume that many other tools were conceived and used after the first tool of the so-called veil. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. There have been refinements.
Questioner: The archetypical mind of the Logos prior to this experiment in veiling was what I would consider to be less complex than it is now, possibly containing fewer archetypes. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. We must ask your patience.
We perceive a sudden flare of the distortion known as pain in this instrument’s left arm and manual appendages.
Please do not touch this instrument.
We shall examine the mind complex and attempt to reposition the limb so that the working may continue.
Then please repeat the query.
(Ninety second pause)
I am Ra. You may proceed.
Questioner: Thank you.
Prior to the experiment to extend the first distortion how many archetypes were there at that time?
Ra: I am Ra. There were nine.
Questioner: I will guess that those nine were three of mind, three of body, and three of spirit. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.
Questioner: I am going to guess that in the system of the tarot those archetypes would roughly correspond to, for the mind, the Magician, the Emperor, and the Chariot. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is incorrect.
Questioner: Could you tell me what they correspond to?
Ra: I am Ra. The body, the mind, and the spirit each contained and functioned under the aegis of the matrix, the potentiator, and the significator.
The significator of the mind, body, and spirit is not identical to the significator of the mind, body, and spirit complexes.
Questioner: I now understand what you meant in the previous session by saying that to extend free will the significator must become a complex.
It seems that the significator has become the complex that is the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh of the mind, the tenth on of the body, and the seventeenth on of the spirit. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is incorrect.
Questioner: Could you tell me what you mean by “the significator must become a complex”?
Ra: I am Ra. To be complex is to consist of more than one characteristic element or concept.
Questioner: I would like to try to understand the archetypes of the mind of this Logos prior to the extension of the first distortion.
In order to better understand that which we experience now I believe that this is a logical approach.
We have, as you have stated,
the matrix,
the potentiator, and
the significator.
I understand the matrix as being that which is what we call the conscious mind, but since it is also that from which the mind is made, I am at a loss to fully understand these three terms especially with respect to the time before there was a division in consciousness.
Could you expand even more upon
the Matrix of the Mind,
the Potentiator of the Mind, and
the Significator of the Mind,
how they differ, and what their relationships are, please?
Ra: I am Ra.
The Matrix of Mind
is that from which all comes.
It is unmoving yet is the activator in potentiation of all mind activity.
The Potentiator of the Mind
is that great resource which may be seen as the sea into which the consciousness dips ever deeper and more thoroughly in order to create, ideate, and become more self-conscious.
The Significator of each mind, body, and spirit
may be seen as a simple and unified concept.
The Matrix of the Body
may be seen to be a reflection in opposites of the mind; that is, unrestricted motion.
The Potentiator of the Body
then is that which, being informed, regulates activity.
The Matrix of the Spirit
is difficult to characterize since the nature of spirit is less motile.
The energies and movements of the spirit are, by far, the most profound yet, having more close association with time/space, do not have the characteristics of dynamic motion.
Thusly one may see
the Matrix
as the deepest darkness and
the Potentiator of Spirit
as the most sudden awakening, illuminating, and generative influence.
This is the description of Archetypes One through Nine before the onset of influence of the co-Creator or sub-Logos’ realization of free will.
Questioner: The first change made then for this extension of free will was to make the communication between the Matrix and the Potentiator of the Mind relatively unavailable one to the other during the incarnation.
Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. We would perhaps rather term the condition as relatively more mystery-filled than relatively unavailable.
Questioner: The idea was then to create some type of veil between the Matrix and the Potentiator of the Mind. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.
Questioner: This veil then occurs between what we now call the unconscious and conscious minds. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.
Questioner: It was probably the design of the Logos to allow the conscious mind greater freedom under the first distortion by partitioning, you might say, this from the Potentiator or unconscious which had a greater communication with the total mind, therefore, allowing for the birth of uneducated, to use a poor term, portions of consciousness. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is roughly correct.
Questioner: Could you de-roughen it or elucidate a bit on that?
Ra: I am Ra. There is intervening material before we may do so.
Questioner: OK.
Was then this simple experiment carried out and the product of this experiment observed before greater complexity was attempted?
Ra: I am Ra. As we have said there have been a great number of successive experiments.
Questioner: I was just wondering since this seems to be the crux of the experiment, the large breaking point between no extension of the first distortion and the extension of the first distortion, what the result of this original experiment was with respect to that which was created from it.
What was the result of that?
Ra: I am Ra. This is previously covered material.
The result of these experiments has been a more vivid, varied, and intense experience of Creator by Creator.
Questioner: Well I was aware of that.
I probably didn’t state the question correctly.
It’s a very difficult question to state.
I don’t know if it’s worth attempting to continue with but what I meant was when this very first experiment with the veiling process occurred, did it result in service-to-self polarization with the first experiment?
Ra: I am Ra. The early, if we may use this term, Logoi produced service-to-self and service-to-others mind/body/spirit complexes immediately.
The harvestability of these entities was not so immediate and thus refinements of the archetypes began apace .
Questioner: Now we are getting to what I was trying to determine.
Then at this point were there still only nine archetypes and the veil had just been drawn between the Matrix and the Potentiator of the Mind?
Ra: I am Ra. There were nine archetypes and many shadows.
Questioner: By shadows do you mean the, what I might refer to as, birthing of small archetypical biases?
Ra: I am Ra. Rather we would describe these shadows as the inchoate thoughts of helpful structures not yet fully conceived.
Questioner: Would The Choice exist at this point during the creation of the first service-to-self polarity?
Ra: I am Ra. Implicit in the veiling or separation of two archetypes is the concept of choice.
The refinements to this concept took many experiences.
Questioner: I’m sorry that I have so much difficulty in asking these questions, but this is material that I find somewhat difficult.
I find it interesting that the very first experiment of veiling the Matrix of the Mind from the Potentiator of the Mind and visa-versa created service-to-self polarity.
This seems to be a very important philosophical point in the development of the creation and possibly the beginning of a system of what we would call magic not envisioned previously.
Let me ask this question.
Prior to the extension of the first distortion was the magical potential of the higher densities as great as it is now when the greatest potential was achieved in consciousness for each density?
This is difficult to ask.
What I am asking is that at the end of fourth density, prior to the extension of free will, was what we call magical potential as great as it is now at the end of fourth density?
Ra: I am Ra. As you understand, if we may use this misnomer, magic, the magical potential in third and fourth density was then far greater than after the change.
However, there was far, far less desire or will to use this potential.
Questioner: Now, to be sure that I understand you:
prior to the change and the extension of free will, let’s take specifically the end of fourth density, magical potential for the condition when there was only service-to-others polarization was much greater at the end of fourth density than at the end of fourth density immediately after the split of polarization and the extension of free will.
Is that correct?
Ra: I am Ra. Magical ability is the ability to consciously use the so-called unconscious.
Therefore, there was maximal ability prior to the innovation of sub-Logoi’s free will.
Questioner: OK.
At the present time we are experiencing the effects of a more complex or greater number of archetypes and I have guessed that the ones we are experiencing now in the mind are as follows:
We have the Magician and High Priestess which correspond to the Matrix and Potentiator with the veil drawn between them which is the primary creator of the extension of the first distortion.
Is that correct?
Ra: I am Ra. We are unable to answer this query without intervening material.
Questioner: OK. Sorry about that.
The next archetype, the Empress,
is the Catalyst of the Mind, that which acts upon the conscious mind to change it.
The fourth archetype is the Emperor,
the Experience of the Mind, which is that material stored in the unconscious which creates its continuing bias.
Am I correct with those statements?
Ra: I am Ra. Though far too rigid in your statements, you perceive correct relationships.
There is a great deal of dynamic interrelationship in these first four archetypes
Questioner: Would the Hierophant
then be somewhat of a governor or sorter of these effects so as to create the proper assimilation by the unconscious of that which comes through the conscious?
Ra: I am Ra. Although thoughtful, the supposition is incorrect in its heart.
The Law of One, Book III, Session 66
Questioner: Possibly in the next session we will expand on that.
I would like to ask the second question.
What are the structure and contents of the archetypical mind, and how does the archetypical mind function in informing the intuition and conscious mind of an individual mind/body/spirit complex.
Ra: I am Ra. You must realize that we offered these concepts to you so that you might grow in your own knowledge of the self through the consideration of them.
We would prefer, especially for this latter query, to listen to the observations upon this subject which the student of these exercises may make and then suggest further avenues of the refinement of these inquiries.
We feel we might be of more aid in this way.
The Law of One, Book III, Session 67
Questioner: Thank you very much.
I have a statement here that I will have you comment on for accuracy or inaccuracy.
In general, the archetypical mind is a representation of facets of the One Infinite Creation.
The Father archetype
corresponds to the male or positive aspect of electromagnetic energy and is active, creative, and radiant as is our local sun.
The Mother archetype
corresponds to the female or negative aspect of electromagnetic energy and is receptive or magnetic as is our Earth as it receives the sun’s rays and brings forth life via third-density fertility.
The Prodigal Son or the Fool archetype
corresponds to every entity who seems to have strayed from unity and seeks to return to the one infinite Creator.
The Devil archetype
represents the illusion of the material world and the appearance of evil but is more accurately the provider of catalyst for the growth of each entity within the third-density illusion.
The Magician, Saint, Healer, or Adept
corresponds to the higher self and, because of the balance within its energy centers, pierces the illusion to contact intelligent infinity and thereby demonstrates mastery of the catalyst of third-density.
The archetype of Death
symbolizes the transition of an entity from the yellow-ray body to the green-ray body either temporarily between incarnations or, more permanently, at harvest.
Each archetype presents an aspect of the One Infinite Creation to teach the individual mind/body/spirit complex according to the calling or the electromagnetic configuration of mind of the entity.
Teaching is done via the intuition.
With the proper seeking or mind configuration, the power of will uses the spirit as a shuttle to contact the appropriate archetypical aspect necessary for the teach/learning.
In the same way each of the other informers of intuition are contacted.
They are hierarchical and proceed from the entity’s own subconscious mind to group or planetary mind, to guides, to higher self, to archetypical mind, to cosmic mind or intelligent infinity.
Each is contacted by the spirit serving as shuttle according to the harmonized electromagnetic configuration of the seeker’s mind and the information sought.
Would you please comment on the accuracy of these observations and correct any errors and fill in any omissions?
Ra: I am Ra. The entity has been using transferred energy for most of this session due to its depleted physical levels.
We shall begin this rather complex answer which is interesting but do not expect to finish it.
Those portions which we do not respond to we ask that you requestion us on at a working in your future.
Questioner: Perhaps it would be better to start the next session with the answer to this question.
Would that be appropriate or is the energy already fixed?
Ra: I am Ra. The energy is as always allotted.
The choice, as always, is yours.
Questioner: In that case, continue.
Ra: I am Ra. Perhaps the first item we shall address is the concept of the spirit used as a shuttle between the roots and the trunk of mind.
This is a misapprehension and we shall allow the questioner to consider the function of the spirit further, for in working with the mind we are working within one complex and have not yet attempted to penetrate intelligent infinity.
It is well said that archetypes are portions of the one infinite Creator or aspects of its face.
It is, however, far better to realize that the archetypes, while constant in the complex of generative energies offered, do not give the same yield of these complexes to any two seekers.
Each seeker will experience each archetype in the characteristics within the complex of the archetype which are most important to it.
An example of this would be the observation of the questioner that the Fool is described in such and such a way.
One great aspect of this archetype is the aspect of faith, the walking into space without regard for what is to come next.
This is, of course, foolish but is part of the characteristic of the spiritual neophyte.
That this aspect was not seen may be pondered by the questioner.
At this time we shall again request that the query be restated at the next working and we shall at this time cease using this instrument.
Before we leave may we ask if there may be any short questions?
The Law of One, Book III, Session 74
Questioner: In a previous session there was a question on the archetypical mind that was not fully answered.
I would like to continue with the answer to that question.
Could you please continue with that, or will it be necessary for me to read the entire question over again?
Ra: I am Ra. As a general practice it is well to vibrate the query at the same space/time as the answer is desired.
However, in this case it is acceptable to us that a note be inserted at this point in your recording of these sound vibratory complexes referring to the location of the query in previous workings.
(Note: This question was the last question asked in Session #67.)
The query, though thoughtful, is in some degree falling short of the realization of the nature of the archetypical mind.
We may not teach/learn for any other to the extent that we become learn/teachers.
Therefore, we shall make some general notations upon this interesting subject and allow the questioner to consider and further refine any queries.
The archetypical mind may be defined as that mind which is peculiar to the Logos of this planetary sphere.
Thusly unlike the great cosmic all-mind, it contains the material which it pleased the Logos to offer as refinements to the great cosmic being-ness.
The archetypical mind, then, is that which contains all facets which may affect mind or experience.
The Magician was named as a significant archetype.
However, it was not recognized that this portion of the archetypical mind represents not a portion of the deep subconscious but the conscious mind and more especially the will.
The archetype called by some the High Priestess, then, is the corresponding intuitive or subconscious faculty.
Let us observe the entity as it is in relationship to the archetypical mind.
You may consider the possibilities of utilizing the correspondences between the mind/body/spirit in microcosm and the archetypical mind/body/spirit closely approaching the Creator.
For instance, in your ritual performed to purify this place you use the term “Ve Geburah.”
It is a correct assumption that this is a portion or aspect of the one infinite Creator.
However, there are various correspondences with the archetypical mind which may be more and more refined by the adept.
“Ve Geburah” is the correspondence of Michael, of Mars, of the positive, of maleness.
“Ve Gedulah” has correspondences to Jupiter, to femaleness, to the negative, to that portion of the Tree of Life concerned with Auriel.
We could go forward with more and more refinements of these two entries into the archetypical mind.
We could discuss color correspondences, relationships with other archetypes, and so forth.
This is the work of the adept, not the teach/learner.
We may only suggest that there are systems of study which may address themselves to the aspects of the archetypical mind and it is well to choose one and study carefully.
It is more nearly well if the adept go beyond whatever has been written and make such correspondences that the archetype can be called upon at will.
The Law of One, Book IV, Session 76
Questioner: Were Ra’s teachings focusing on the archetypes for this Logos and the methods of achieving a very close approach to the archetypical configuration? Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct without being true.
We, of Ra, are humble messengers of the Law of One.
We seek to teach/learn this single law.
During the space/time of the Egyptian teach/learning we worked to bring the mind complex, the body complex, and the spirit complex into an initiated state in which the entity could contact intelligent energy and so become teach/learner itself so that healing and the fruits of study could be offered to all.
The study of the roots of mind is a portion of the vivification of the mind complex and, as we have noted, the thorough study of the portion of the roots of mind called archetypical is an interesting and necessary portion of the process as a whole.
Questioner: Is there, in Ra’s opinion, any present day value for the use of the tarot as an aid in the evolutionary process?
Ra: I am Ra. We shall repeat information.
It is appropriate to study one form of constructed and organized distortion of the archetypical mind in depth in order to arrive at the position of being able to become and to experience archetypes at will.
You have three basic choices.
You may choose astrology,
the twelve signs, as you call these portions of your planet’s energy web, and what has been called the ten planets.
You may choose the tarot
with its twenty-two so-called Major Arcana.
You may choose the study of the so-called Tree of Life
with its ten Sephiroth and the twenty-two relationships between the stations.
It is well to investigate each discipline, not as a dilettante, but as one who seeks the touchstone, one who wishes to feel the pull of the magnet.
One of these studies will be more attractive to the seeker.
Let the seeker, then, investigate the archetypical mind using, basically, one of these three disciplines.
After a period of study, the discipline mastered sufficiently, the seeker may then complete the more important step:
that is, the moving beyond the written in order to express in an unique fashion its understanding, if you may again pardon the noun, of the archetypical mind.
Questioner: Would I be correct in saying that the archetypes of this particular Logos are somewhat unique with respect to the rest of the creation?
The systems of study that we have just talked about would not translate quickly or easily in other parts of the creation.
This is a very difficult question to state. Could you clear that up for me?
Ra: I am Ra. We may draw from the welter of statement which you offer the question we believe you ask.
Please requestion if we have mistaken your query.
The archetypical mind
is that mind which is peculiar to the Logos under which influence you are at this space/time distorting your experiences.
There is no other Logos the archetypical mind of which would be the same any more than the stars would appear the same from another planet in another galaxy.
You may correctly infer that the closer Logoi are indeed closer in archetypes.
Questioner: Since Ra evolved initially on Venus Ra is of the same archetypical origin as that which we experience here. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.
Questioner: But I am assuming that the concepts of the tarot and the magical concepts of the Tree of Life, etc. were not in use by Ra.
I suspect, possibly, some form of astrology was a previous Ra concept.
This is just a guess. Am I correct?
Ra: I am Ra. To express Ra’s methods of study of the archetypical mind under the system of distortions which we enjoyed would be to skew your own judgment of that which is appropriate for the system of distortions forming the conditions in which you learn/teach.
Therefore, we must invoke the Law of Confusion.
The Law of One, Book IV, Session 77
Questioner: In that case, it seems that a thorough knowledge of the precise nature of these philosophical foundations would be of primary importance to the study of evolution of mind, body, and spirit, and I would like to carefully go through each, starting with the mind.
Is this agreeable with Ra?
Ra: I am Ra. This is agreeable with two requests which must be made.
Firstly, that an attempt be made to state the student’s grasp of each archetype.
We may then comment.
We cannot teach/learn to the extent of learn/teaching.
Secondly, we request that it be constantly kept before the mind, as the candle before the eye, that each mind/body/spirit complex shall and should and, indeed, must perceive each archetype, if you use this convenient term, in its own way.
Therefore, you may see that precision is not the goal; rather the quality of general concept complex perception is the goal.
The Law of One, Book IV, Session 88
Questioner: I will make this statement as to my understanding of some of the archetypes and let you correct this statement.
It seems to me that the Significators of Mind, Body, and Spirit are acted upon in each of these by the catalyst.
This produces Experience which then leads to the Transformation and produces the Great Way.
This is the same process for the mind, the body, and spirit.
The archetypes are just repeated but act in a different way as catalyst because of the differences of mind, body, and spirit and produce a different type of experience for each because of the difference in the three.
The Transformation is slightly different.
The Great Way is somewhat different but the archetypes are all basically doing the same thing.
They are just acting on three different portions of the mind/body/spirit complex so that we can say that in making the Significator a complex basically we have provided a way for Catalyst to create the Transformation more efficiently.
Would you correct that statement, please?
Ra: I am Ra. In your statement correctness is so plaited up with tendrils of the most fundamental misunderstanding that correction of your statement is difficult.
We shall make comments and from these comments request that you allow a possible realignment of conceptualization to occur.
The archetypical mind is a great and fundamental portion of the mind complex, one of its most basic elements and one of the richest sources of information for the seeker of the one infinite Creator.
To attempt to condense the archetypes is to make an erroneous attempt.
Each archetype is a significant ding an sich, or thing in itself, with its own complex of concepts.
While it is informative to survey the relationships of one archetype to another it can be said that this line of inquiry is secondary to the discovery of the purest gestalt or vision or melody which each archetype signifies to both the intellectual and intuitive mind.
The Significators of Mind, Body, and Spirit complexes are complex in and of themselves, and the archetypes of Catalyst, Experience, Transformation, and the Great Way are most fruitfully viewed as independent complexes which have their own melodies with which they may inform the mind of its nature.
We ask that you consider that the archetypical mind informs those thoughts which then may have bearing upon the mind, the body, or the spirit.
The archetypes do not have a direct linkage to body or spirit.
All must be drawn up through the higher levels of the subconscious mind to the conscious mind and thence they may flee whither they have been bidden to go.
When used in a controlled way they are most helpful.
Rather than continue beyond the boundaries of your prior statement we would appreciate the opportunity for your requestioning at this time so that we may answer you more precisely.
The Law of One, Book IV, Session 76
Questioner: I am sorry that we have had such a long delay between the last session and this one.
It couldn’t be helped I guess.
Could you please tell me the origin of the tarot?
Ra: I am Ra. The origin of this system of study and divination is twofold:
firstly, there is that influence
which, coming in a distorted fashion from those who were priests attempting to teach the Law of One in Egypt, gave form to the understanding, if you will pardon the misnomer, which they had received.
These forms were then made a regular portion of the learn/teachings of an initiate.
The second influence
is that of those entities in the lands you call Ur, Chaldea, and Mesopotamia who, from old, had received the, shall we say, data for which they called having to do with the heavens.
Thusly we find two methods of divination being melded into one with uneven results; the, as you call it, astrology and the form being combined to suggest what you might call the correspondences which are typical of the distortions you may see as attempts to view archetypes.
Questioner: Then am I correct in assuming that the priests of Egypt, in attempting to convert knowledge that they had received initially from Ra into understandable symbology, constructed and initiated the concept of the tarot? Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct with the addition of the Sumerian influence.
Questioner: Were Ra’s teachings focusing on the archetypes for this Logos and the methods of achieving a very close approach to the archetypical configuration? Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct without being true.
We, of Ra, are humble messengers of the Law of One.
We seek to teach/learn this single law.
During the space/time of the Egyptian teach/learning we worked to bring the mind complex, the body complex, and the spirit complex into an initiated state in which the entity could contact intelligent energy and so become teach/learner itself so that healing and the fruits of study could be offered to all.
The study of the roots of mind is a portion of the vivification of the mind complex and, as we have noted, the thorough study of the portion of the roots of mind called archetypical is an interesting and necessary portion of the process as a whole.
Questioner: Is there, in Ra’s opinion, any present day value for the use of the tarot as an aid in the evolutionary process?
Ra: I am Ra. We shall repeat information.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 88
Questioner: Thank you.
I would like to ask you as to the initial production of the tarot, where this concept was first formed and where the tarot was first recorded?
Ra: I am Ra. The concept of the tarot originated within the planetary influence you call Venus.
Questioner: Was the concept given to or devised for a training tool for those inhabiting Venus at that time or was it devised by those of Venus as a training tool for those of Earth?
Ra: I am Ra. The tarot was devised by the third-density population of Venus a great measure of your space/time in your past.
As we have noted the third-density experience of those of Venus dealt far more deeply and harmoniously with what you would call relationships with other-selves, sexual energy transfer work, and philosophical or metaphysical research.
The product of many, many generations of work upon what we conceived to be the archetypical mind produced the tarot which was used by our peoples as a training aid in developing the magical personality.
Questioner: I’ll make a guess that those of Venus of third density who were the initial ones to partially penetrate the veil gleaned information as to the nature of the archetypical mind and the veiling process and from this designed the tarot as a method of teaching others. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. It is so.
Questioner: I will also assume, and I may not be correct, that the present list that I have of twenty-two names of the tarot cards of the Major Arcana 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.
Were they the same as the list that I read to you in a previous session or were there 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.
Questioner: Did Ra use cards similar to the tarot cards for training in third density?
Ra: I am Ra. No.
Questioner: What did Ra use in third density?
Ra: I am Ra. You are aware in your attempts at magical visualization of the mental configuration of sometimes rather complex visualizations.
These are mental and drawn with the mind.
Another example well-known in your culture is the visualization, in your mass, of the distortion of the love of the one infinite Creator called Christianity, wherein a small portion of your foodstuffs is seen to be a mentally configured but entirely real man, the man known to you as Jehoshuah or, as you call this entity now, Jesus.
It was by this method of sustained visualization over a period of training that we worked with these concepts.
These concepts were occasionally drawn.
However, the concept of one visualization per card was not thought of by us.
Questioner: How did the teacher relay information to the student in respect to visualization?
Ra: I am Ra. The process was cabalistic; that is, of the oral tradition of mouth to ear.
Questioner: Then when Ra attempted to teach the Egyptians the concept of the tarot, was the same process used, or a different one.
Ra: I am Ra. The same process was used.
However, those which were teach/learners after us first drew these images to the best of their ability within the place of initiation and later began the use of what you call cards bearing these visualizations’ representations.
Questioner: Were the Court Arcana and the Minor Arcana a portion of Ra’s teachings or was this something that came along later?
Ra: I am Ra. Those cards of which you speak were the product of the influence of those of Chaldea and Sumer.
Questioner: Ra must have had, shall we say, a lesson plan or course of training for the twenty-two archetypes to be given either to those of third density of Ra or, later on, to those in Egypt.
Could you describe this scenario for the training course?
Ra: I am Ra. This shall be the last full query of this working.
We find it more nearly appropriate to discuss our plans in acquainting initiates upon your own planet with this particular version of the archetypes of the archetypical mind.
Our first stage was the presentation of the images, one after the other, in the following order:
one, eight, fifteen;
two, nine, sixteen;
three, ten, seventeen;
four, eleven, eighteen;
five, twelve, nineteen;
six, thirteen, twenty;
seven, fourteen, twenty-one;
twenty-two.
In this way the fundamental relationships between mind, body, and spirit could begin to be discovered, for as one sees, for instance, the Matrix of the Mind in comparison to the Matrices of Body and Spirit one may draw certain tentative conclusions.
When, at length, the student had mastered these visualizations and had considered each of the seven classifications of archetype, looking at the relationships between mind, body, and spirit,
we then suggested consideration of archetypes in pairs:
one and two;
three and four;
five;
six and seven.
You may continue in this form for the body and spirit archetypes.
You will note that the consideration of the Significator was left unpaired, for the Significator shall be paired with Archetype Twenty-Two.
At the end of this line of inquiry the student was beginning to grasp more and more deeply the qualities and resonances of each archetype.
At this point, using various other aids to spiritual evolution, we encouraged the initiate to learn to become each archetype and, most importantly, to know as best as possible within your illusion when the adoption of the archetype’s persona would be spiritually or metaphysically helpful.
As you can see, much work was done creatively by each initiate.
We have no dogma to offer.
Each perceives that which is needful and helpful to the self.
May we ask if there are any brief queries before we leave this working?
The Law of One, Book IV, Session 89
Questioner: I have here a deck of twenty-two tarot cards which have been copied, according to information we have, from the walls of the large pyramid at Giza.
If necessary we can duplicate these cards in the book which we are preparing.
I would ask Ra if these cards represent an exact replica of that which is in the Great Pyramid?
Ra: I am Ra. The resemblance is substantial.
Questioner: In other words, you might say that these were better than 95% correct as far as representing what is on the walls of the Great Pyramid?
Ra: I am Ra. Yes.
Questioner: The way that I understand this, then, Ra gave these archetypical concepts to the priests of Egypt who then drew them upon the walls of one of the chambers of the Great Pyramid.
What was the technique of transmission of this information to the priests?
At this time was Ra walking the surface among the Egyptians, or was this done through some form of channeling?
Ra: I am Ra. This was done partially through old teachings and partially through visions.
Questioner: Then at this particular time Ra had long since vacated the planet as far as walking among the Egyptians.
Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. Yes.
The Law of One, Book IV, Session 93
Questioner: Then the adept, in becoming familiar with the Logos’s archetype in each case, would be able to most efficiently use the Logos’s plan for evolution. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. In the archetypical mind one has the resource of not specifically a plan for evolution but rather a blueprint or architecture of the nature of evolution.
This may seem to be a small distinction, but it has significance in perceiving more clearly the use of this resource of the deep mind.
Questioner: Then Ra presented the images which we know now as the tarot so that the Egyptian adepts of the time could accelerate their personal evolution.
Is this correct, and was there any other reason for the presentation of these images by Ra?
Ra: I am Ra. You are correct.
Questioner: Are there any other uses at all of tarot cards other than the one I just named?
Ra: I am Ra.
To the student
the tarot images offer a resource for learn/teaching the processes of evolution.
To any other entity these images are pictures and no more.
The Law of One, Book IV, Session 77
Questioner: Thank you.
I would like to go back to the plan of this Logos for Its creation and examine the philosophical basis that is the foundation for what was created in this local creation and the philosophy of the plan for experience.
I am assuming that I am correct in stating that the foundation for this, as has been stated many times before, is the first distortion.
After that, what was the plan in the philosophical sense?
Ra: I am Ra. We cannot reply due to a needed portion of your query which has been omitted; that is, do we speak of this particular Logos?
Questioner: That is correct.
I am asking with respect to this particular sub- Logos, our sun.
Ra: I am Ra. This query has substance.
We shall begin by turning to an observation of a series of concept complexes of which you are familiar as the tarot.
The philosophy was to create a foundation,
first of mind,
then of body, and
then of spiritual complex.
Those concept complexes you call the tarot lie then in three groups of seven:
the mind cycle, one through seven;
the physical complex cycle, eight through fourteen;
the spiritual complex cycle, fifteen through twenty-one.
The last concept complex may best be termed The Choice.
Upon the foundation of the transformation of each complex, with free will guided by the root concepts offered in these cycles, the Logos offered this density the basic architecture of a building and the constructing and synthesizing of data culminating in The Choice.
Questioner: Then to condense your statement, I see it meaning that there are seven basic philosophical foundations for mental experience, seven for bodily, seven for spiritual, and that these produce the polarization that we experience sometime during the third-density cycle.
Am I correct?
Ra: I am Ra. You are correct in that you perceive the content of our prior statement with accuracy.
You are incorrect in that you have no mention of the, shall we say, location of all of these concept complexes; that is, they exist within the roots of the mind and it is from this resource that their guiding influence and leitmotifs1 may be traced.
You may further note that each foundation is itself not single but a complex of concepts.
Furthermore, there are relationships betwixt mind, body, and spirit of the same location in octave, for instance: one, eight, fifteen, and relationships within each octave which are helpful in the pursuit of The Choice by the mind/body/spirit complex.
The Logos under which these foundations stand is one of free will.
Thusly the foundations may be seen to have unique facets and relationships for each mind/body/spirit complex.
Only twenty-two,
The Choice, is relatively fixed and single.
1 leitmotif:
Lit: leading motive.
In music: A distinguishing theme or melodic phrase representing and recurring with a given character, situation, or emotion in an opera.
Questioner: Then I am probably having a problem with the concept of time since it appears that the Logos was aware of the polarization choice.
It seems that this choice for polarization at the end of third density is an important philosophical plan for the experience past third density.
Am I correct in assuming that this process is a process to create the proper or desired experience that will take place in the creation after third density is complete?
Ra: I am Ra. These philosophical foundations are those of third density.
Above this density there remains the recognition of the architecture of the Logos but without the veils which are so integral a part of the process of making the choice in third density.
Questioner: The specific question that I had was that it seems to me that the choice was planned to create intense polarization past third density so that experience would be intense past third density. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. Given that our interpretation of your sound vibration complexes is appropriate, this is incorrect.
The intensity of fourth density
is that of the refining of the rough-hewn sculpture.
This is, indeed, in its own way, quite intense causing the mind/body/spirit complex to move ever inward and onward in its quest for fuller expression.
However,
in third density
the statue is forged in the fire.
This is a type of intensity which is not the property of fourth, fifth, sixth, or seventh densities.
Questioner: What I am really attempting to understand, since all of these twenty-one philosophical bases result in the twenty-second which is The Choice, is
why this choice is so important,
why the Logos seems to put so much emphasis on this choice, and
what function this choice of polarity has, precisely, in the evolution or the experience of that which is created by the Logos?
Ra: I am Ra. The polarization or choosing of each mind/body/spirit is necessary for harvestability from third density.
The higher densities do their work due to the polarity gained in this choice.
Questioner: Would it be possible for this work of our density to be performed if all of the sub-Logoi chose the same polarity in any particular expression or evolution of a Logos?
Let us make the assumption that our sun created nothing but, through the first distortion, positive polarity.
There was no product except positive polarity.
Would work then be done in fourth density and higher as a function of only the positive polarization evolving from the original creation of our sub-Logos?
Ra: I am Ra. Elements of this query illustrate the reason I was unable to answer your previous question without knowledge of the Logos involved.
To turn to your question,
there were Logoi which chose to set the plan for the activation of mind/body/spirit complexes through each true color body without recourse to the prior application of free will.
It is, to our knowledge, only in an absence of free will that the conditions of which you speak obtain.
In such a procession of densities
you find an extraordinarily long, as you measure time, third-density; likewise, fourth density.
Then,
as the entities begin to see the Creator,
there is a very rapid, as you measure time, procession towards the eighth density.
This is due to the fact that one who knows not, cares not.
Let us illustrate by observing the relative harmony and unchanging quality of existence in one of your, as you call it, primitive tribes.
The entities have the concepts of lawful and taboo,
but the law is inexorable and all events occur as predestined.
There is no concept of right and wrong, good or bad.
It is a culture in monochrome.
In this context
you may see the one you call Lucifer as the true light-bringer in that the knowledge of good and evil both precipitated the mind/body/spirits of this Logos from the Edenic conditions of constant contentment and also provided the impetus to move, to work and to learn.
Those Logoi whose creations have been set up without free will have not, in the feeling of those Logoi, given the Creator the quality and variety of experience of Itself as have those Logoi which have incorporated free will as paramount.
Thusly you find those Logoi moving through the timeless states at what you would see as a later space/time to choose the free will character when elucidating the foundations of each Logos.
Questioner: I guess, under the first distortion, it was the free will of the Logos to choose to evolve without free will. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.
Questioner: Do the Logoi that choose this type of evolution choose both the service-to-self and the service-to-others path for different Logoi, or do they choose just one of the paths?
Ra: I am Ra. Those, what you would call, early Logoi which chose lack of free will foundations, to all extents with no exceptions, founded Logoi of the service-to-others path.
The, shall we say, saga of polarity, its consequences and limits, were unimagined until experienced.
Questioner: In other words you are saying that originally the Logoi that did not choose this free will path did not choose it simply because they had not conceived of it and that later Logoi, extending the first distortion farther down through their evolution, experienced it as an outcropping or growth from that extension of the first distortion.
Am I correct in saying that?
Ra: I am Ra. Yes.
Questioner: Then did this particular Logos that we experience plan for this polarity and know all about it prior to its plan?
I suspect that this is what happened.
Ra: I am Ra. This is quite correct.
Questioner: In that case, as a Logos, you would have an advantage of selecting the form of acceleration, you might say, of spiritual evolution by planning what we call the major archetypical philosophical foundations and planning these as a function of the polarity that would be gained in third density.
Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is exquisitely correct.
Questioner: In that case, it seems that a thorough knowledge of the precise nature of these philosophical foundations would be of primary importance to the study of evolution of mind, body, and spirit, and I would like to carefully go through each, starting with the mind.
Is this agreeable with Ra?
Ra: I am Ra. This is agreeable with two requests which must be made.
Firstly, that an attempt be made to state the student’s grasp of each archetype.
We may then comment.
We cannot teach/learn to the extent of learn/teaching.
Secondly, we request that it be constantly kept before the mind, as the candle before the eye, that each mind/body/spirit complex shall and should and, indeed, must perceive each archetype, if you use this convenient term, in its own way.
Therefore, you may see that precision is not the goal; rather the quality of general concept complex perception is the goal.
Questioner: Now, there are several general concepts that I would like to be sure that we have clear before going into this process and I will certainly adhere to the requests that you have just stated.
When our Logos designed this particular evolution of experience It decided to use a system of which we spoke allowing for polarization through total free will.
How is this different from the Logos that does not do this?
I see the Logos creating the possibility of increase in vibration through the densities.
How are the densities provided for and set by the Logos, if you can answer this?
Ra: I am Ra. This shall be the last full query of this working.
The psychic attack upon this instrument has, shall we say, left scars which must be tended, in our own opinion, in order to maintain the instrument.
Let us observe your second density.
Many come more rapidly to third density than others not because of an innate efficiency of catalysis but because of unusual opportunities for investment.
In just such a way those of fourth density may invest third, those of fifth density may invest fourth.
When fifth density has been obtained the process takes upon itself a momentum based upon the characteristics of wisdom when applied to circumstance.
The Logos Itself, then, in these instances provides investment opportunities, if you wish to use that term.
May we enquire if there are any brief queries at this space/time?
The Law of One, Book IV, Session 78
Questioner: The choice of polarity being unique as a circumstance, shall I say, for the archetypical basis for the evolution of consciousness in our particular experience indicates to me that we have arrived, through a long process of the Creator knowing Itself, at a position of present or maximum efficiency for the design of a process of experience.
That design for maximum efficiency is in the roots of consciousness and is the archetypical mind and is a product of everything that has gone before.
There are, unquestionably, relatively pure archetypical concepts for the seven concepts for mind, body, and spirit.
I feel that the language that we have for these is somewhat inadequate.
However, we shall continue to attempt to investigate the foundation for this and I am hoping that I have laid the foundation with some degree of accuracy in attempting to set a background for the development of the archetypes of our Logos.
Have I left out anything or made any errors, or could you make any comments on my attempt to lay the foundation for the construction that our Logos used for the archetypes?
Ra: I am Ra. Your queries are thoughtful.
Questioner: Are they accurate, or have I made mistakes?
Ra: I am Ra. There are no mistakes.
Questioner: Let me put it this way.
Have I made missteps in my analysis of what has led to the construction of the archetypes that we experience?
Ra: I am Ra. We may share with you the observation that judgment is no part of interaction between mind/body/spirit complexes.
We have attempted to answer each query as fully as your language and the extent of your previous information allow.
We may suggest that if, in perusing this present material, you have further queries, refining any concept, these queries may be asked and, again, we shall attempt adequate rejoinders.
Questioner: I understand your limitations in answering that. Thank you.
Could you tell me how, in the first density, wind and fire teach earth and water?
