The Law of One, Book IV, Session 78
Questioner: Would the archetype then that has been called the High Priestess, which represents the intuition, be properly the second of the archetypes?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.
You see here the recapitulation of the beginning knowledge of this Logos; that is, matrix and potentiator.
The unconscious is indeed what may be poetically described as High Priestess, for it is the Potentiator of the Mind and as potentiator for the mind is that principle which potentiates all experience.
Questioner: Then for the third archetype would the Empress be correct and be related to disciplined meditation?
Ra: I am Ra. I perceive a mind complex intention of a query, but was aware only of sound vibratory statement.
Please requestion.
Questioner: I was asking if the third archetype was the Empress and was it correct to say that this archetype had to do with disciplined meditation?
Ra: I am Ra. The third archetype may broadly be grasped as the Catalyst of the Mind.
Thus it takes in far more than disciplined meditation.
However, it is certainly through this faculty that catalyst is most efficiently used.
The Archetype, Three, is perhaps confusedly called Empress although the intention of this number is the understanding that it represents the unconscious or female portion of the mind complex being first, shall we say, used or ennobled by the male or conscious portion of the mind.
Thus the noble name.
Questioner: The fourth archetype is called the Emperor and seems to have to do with experience of other-selves and the green-ray energy center with respect to other-selves. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is perceptive.
The broad name for Archetype Four may be the Experience of the Mind.
In the tarot you find the name of Emperor.
Again this implies nobility and in this case we may see the suggestion that 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.
This instrument’s dorsal side grows stiff, and the instrument tires.
We welcome one more query.
The Law of One, Book IV, Session 79
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
The Law of One, Book IV, Session 91
Questioner: I have listed the different minds and would like to know if they are applied in this particular aspect: first, we have the cosmic mind which is, I would think, the same for all sub-Logoi like our sun.
Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.
Questioner: A sub-Logos such as our sun, then, in creating Its own particular evolutionary experience, refines the cosmic mind or, shall we say, articulates it by Its own additional bias or biases.
Is this the correct observation?
Ra: I am Ra. It is a correct observation with the one exception that concerns the use of the term “addition” which suggests the concept of that which is more than the all-mind.
Instead, the archetypical mind is a refinement of the all-mind in a pattern peculiar to the sub-Logo’s choosing.
Questioner: Then the very next refinement that occurs as the cosmic mind is refined is what we call the archetypical mind. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. Yes.
Questioner: Then this creates, I would assume, the planetary or racial mind. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. No.
Questioner: What is the origin of the planetary or racial mind?
Ra: I am Ra.
This racial or planetary mind is, for this Logos,
a repository of biases remembered by the mind/body/spirit complexes which have enjoyed the experience of this planetary influence.
Questioner: Now, some entities on this planet evolved from second density into third and some were transferred from other planets to recycle in third density here.
Did the ones who were transferred here to recycle in third density add to the planetary or racial mind?
Ra: I am Ra. Not only did each race add to the planetary mind but also each race possesses a racial mind.
Thus we made this distinction in discussing this portion of mind.
This portion of mind is formed in the series of seemingly non-simultaneous experiences which are chosen in freedom of will by the mind/body/spirit complexes of the planetary influence.
Therefore, although this Akashic, planetary, or racial mind is indeed a root of mind it may be seen in sharp differentiation from the deeper roots of mind which are not a function of altering memory, if you will.
We must ask your patience at this time.
This channel has become somewhat unclear due to the movement of the cover which touches this instrument.
We ask that the opening sentences be repeated and the breath expelled.
(The microphones attached to the cover upon the instrument were pulled slightly as a rug was being placed over a noisy tape recorder.
The Circle of One was walked; breath was expelled two feet above the instrument’s head from her right to her left; and the Circle of One was walked again as requested.)
Ra: I am Ra. We communicate now.
Questioner: Were we successful in re-establishing clear contact?
Ra: I am Ra. There was the misstep which then needed to be re-repeated.
This was done.
The communication is once again clear.
We enjoyed the humorous aspects of the necessary repetitions.
Questioner: What occurred when the microphone cords were slightly moved?
Ra: I am Ra. The link between the instrument’s mind/body/spirit complex and its yellow-ray, chemical, physical vehicle was jarred.
This caused some maladjustment of the organ you call the lungs and, if the repair had not been done, would have resulted in a distorted physical complex condition of this portion of the instrument’s physical vehicle.
Questioner: To get back to what we were talking about, would the different races of this planet be from different planets in our local vicinity or the planets of nearby Logoi which have evolved through their second-density experiences, and would they create the large number of different races that we experience on this planet?
Ra: I am Ra. There are correctnesses to your supposition.
However, not all races and sub-races are of various planetary origins.
We suggest that in looking at planetary origins one observes not the pigmentation of the integument but the biases concerning interactions with other-selves and definitions regarding the nature of the self.
Questioner: How many different planets have supplied the individuals which now inhabit this planet?
Ra: I am Ra. This is perceived by us to be unimportant information, but harmless.
There are three major planetary influences upon your planetary sphere, besides those of your own second-density derivation, and thirteen minor planetary groups in addition to the above.
The Law of One, Book IV, Session 91
Questioner: Thank you.
One more question before we start on the specific questions in regard to archetypes.
Do all Logoi evolving after the veil have twenty-two archetypes?
Ra: I am Ra. No.
Questioner: Is it common for Logoi to have twenty-two archetypes or is this relatively unique to our Logos?
Ra: I am Ra. The system of sevens is the most articulated system yet discovered by any experiment by any Logos in our octave.
Questioner: What is the largest number of archetypes, to Ra’s knowledge, used by a Logos?
Ra: I am Ra. The sevens plus The Choice is the greatest number which has been used, by our knowledge, by Logoi.
It is the result of many, many previous experiments in articulation of the one Creator.
Questioner: I assume, then, that twenty-two is the greatest number of archetypes.
I also ask is it the minimum number presently in use by any Logos to Ra’s knowledge?
Ra: I am Ra. The fewest are the two systems of five which are completing the cycles or densities of experience.
You must grasp the idea that the archetypes were not developed at once but step by step, and not in order as you know the order at this space/time but in various orders.
Therefore, the two systems of fives were using two separate ways of viewing the archetypical nature of all experience.
Each, of course, used
the Matrix,
the Potentiator, and
the Significator
for this is the harvest with which our creation began.
One way or system of experimentation had added to these the Catalyst and the Experience.
Another system if you will, had added Catalyst and Transformation.
In one case the methods whereby experience was processed was further aided but the fruits of experience less aided.
In the second case the opposite may be seen to be the case.
The Law of One, Book IV, Session 78
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.
The Law of One, Book IV, Session 79
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.
The Law of One, Book IV, Session 92
Questioner: I would like to make an analogy of when a baby is first born.
I am assuming that the Matrix of the Mind is new and undistorted and veiled from the Potentiator of the Mind and ready for that which it is to experience in the incarnation. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. Yes.
Questioner: I will read several statements and ask for Ra’s comments.
The first is:
Until an entity becomes consciously aware of the evolutionary process the Logos or intelligent energy creates the potentials for an entity to gain the experience necessary for polarization.
Would Ra comment on that?
Ra: I am Ra. This is so.
Questioner: Then, this occurs because the Potentiator of the Mind is directly connected, through the roots of the tree of mind, to the archetypical mind and to the Logos which created it and because of the veil between the Matrix and Potentiator of the Mind allows for the development of the will.
Will Ra comment on that?
Ra: I am Ra. Some untangling may be needed.
As the mind/body/spirit complex which has not yet reached the point of the conscious awareness of the process of evolution prepares for incarnation it has programmed for it a less than complete, that is to say a partially randomized, system of learnings.
The amount of randomness of potential catalyst is proportional to the newness of the mind/body/spirit complex to third density.
This, then, becomes a portion of that which you may call a potential for incarnational experience.
This is indeed carried within that portion of the mind which is of the deep mind, the architecture of which may be envisioned as being represented by that concept complex known as the Potentiator.
It is not in the archetypical mind of an entity that the potential for incarnational experience resides but in the mind/body/spirit complex’s insertion, shall we say, into the energy web of the physical vehicle and the chosen planetary environment.
However, to more deeply articulate this portion of the mind/body/spirit complex’s being-ness this archetype, the Potentiator of the Mind, may be evoked with profit to the student of its own evolution.
Questioner: Then are you saying that the source of preincarnatively programmed catalyst is the Potentiator of the Mind?
Ra: I am Ra. No.
We are suggesting that
the Potentiator of the Mind
is an archetype which may aid the adept in grasping the nature of this preincarnative and continuingly incarnative series of choices.
Questioner: The third statement:
Just as free will taps intelligent infinity which yields intelligent energy which then focuses and creates the densities of this octave of experience, the Potentiator of the Mind utilizes its connection with intelligent energy and taps or potentiates the Matrix of the Mind which yields the Catalyst of the Mind.
Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is thoughtful but confused.
The Matrix of the Mind
is that which reaches just as the kinetic phase of intelligent infinity, through free will, reaches for the Logos or, in the case of the mind/body/spirit complex the sub-sub-Logos which is the free will potentiated being-ness of the mind/body/spirit complex; to intelligent infinity, Love, and all that follows from that Logos; to the Matrix or, shall we say, the conscious, waiting self of each entity, the Love or the sub-sub-Logos spinning through free will all those things which may enrich the experience of the Creator by the Creator.
It is indeed so that the biases of the potentials of a mind/body/spirit complex cause the catalyst of this entity to be unique and to form a coherent pattern that resembles the dance, full of movement, forming a many-figured tapestry of motion.
Questioner: The fourth statement:
When the Catalyst of the Mind is processed by the entity the Experience of the Mind results. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. There are subtle misdirections in this simple statement having to do with the overriding qualities of the Significator.
It is so that catalyst yields experience.
However, through free will and the faculty of imperfect memory catalyst is most often only partially used and the experience thus correspondingly skewed.
Questioner: Then, the dynamic process between the Matrix, Potentiator, Catalyst, and Experience of the Mind forms the nature of the mind or the Significator of the Mind. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. As our previous response suggests, the Significator of the Mind is both actor and acted upon.
With this exception the statement is largely correct.
Questioner: As the entity becomes consciously aware of this process it programs this activity itself before the incarnation. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.
Please keep in mind that we are discussing, not the archetypical mind, which is a resource available equally to each but unevenly used, but that to which it speaks: the incarnational experiential process of each mind/body/spirit complex.
We wish to make this distinction clear for it is not the archetypes which live the incarnation but the conscious mind/body/spirit complex which may indeed live the incarnation without recourse to the quest for articulation of the processes of potentiation, experience, and transformation.
Questioner: Thank you.
And finally,
as each energy center becomes activated and balanced, the Transformation of the Mind is called upon more and more frequently.
When all of the energy centers are activated and balanced to a minimal degree, contact with intelligent infinity occurs; the veil is removed; and the Great Way of the Mind is called upon.
Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. No.
This is a quite eloquent look at some relationships within the archetypical mind.
However, it must be seen once again that the archetypical mind does not equal the acting incarnational mind/body/spirit complex’s progression or evolution.
Due to the first misperception we hesitate to speak to the second consideration but shall attempt clarity.
While studying the archetypical mind we may suggest that the student look at the Great Way of the Mind, not as that which is attained after contact with intelligent infinity, but rather as that portion of the archetypical mind which denotes and configures the particular framework within which the Mind, the Body, or the Spirit archetypes move.
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 to act at some time through the veil—though I hesitate to say through the veil since I don’t think that is a very good way of stating it—but the Potentiator of the Mind will act to create a condition such as the example I mentioned of the infant touching a hot object.
The hot object we could take as random catalyst.
The infant can either leave its hand on the hot object or rapidly remove it.
My question is, is the Potentiator of the Mind involved at all in this experience and, if so, how?
Ra: I am Ra.
The Potentiator of Mind and of Body
are both involved in the questing of the infant for new experience.
The mind/body/spirit complex which is an infant has one highly developed portion which may be best studied by viewing the Significators of Mind and Body.
You notice we do not include the spirit.
That portion of a mind/body/spirit complex is not reliably developed in each and every mind/body/spirit complex.
Thusly
the infant’s significant self,
which is the harvest of biases of all previous incarnational experiences, offers to this infant biases with which to meet new experience.
However, the portion of the infant which may be articulated by the Matrix of the Mind is indeed unfed by experience and has the bias of reaching for this experience through free will just as intelligent energy in the kinetic phase, through free will, creates the Logos.
These sub-sub-Logoi, then, or those portions of the mind/body/spirit complex which may be articulated by consideration of the Potentiators of Mind and Body, through free will, choose to make alterations in their experiential continuum.
The results of these experiments in novelty are then recorded in the portion of the mind and body articulated by the Matrices thereof.
Questioner: Are all activities that the entity has from the state of infancy a function of the Potentiator of the Mind?
Ra: I am Ra.
Firstly,
although the functions of the mind are indeed paramount over those of the body, the body being the creature of the mind, certainly not all actions of a mind/body/spirit complex could be seen to be due to the potentiating qualities of the mind complex alone as the body and in some cases the spirit also potentiates action.
Secondly,
as a mind/body/spirit complex becomes aware of the process of spiritual evolution, more and more of the activities of the mind and body which precipitate activity are caused by those portions of the mind/body/spirit complex which are articulated by the archetypes of Transformation.
Questioner: The Matrix of the Mind is depicted as a male on the card and the Potentiator as female.
Could Ra state why this is and how this affects these two archetypes?
Ra: I am Ra. Firstly, as we have said,
the Matrix of the Mind
is attracted to the biological male and
the Potentiator of the Mind
to the biological female.
Thusly in energy transfer
the female is able to potentiate that which may be within the conscious mind of the male so that it may feel enspirited.
In a more general sense, that which reaches may be seen as a male principle.
That which awaits the reaching may be seen as a female principle.
The richness of the male and female system of polarity is interesting and we would not comment further but suggest consideration by the student.
Questioner: I will attempt an example of the Potentiator of the Mind acting.
As the infant gains time in incarnation
would it experience the Potentiator offering both positive and negative potential thoughts, shall I say, for the Matrix to experience which then begin to accumulate in the Matrix and color it one way or the other in polarity depending upon its continuing choice of that polarity?
Is this in any way correct?
Ra: I am Ra.
Firstly,
again may we distinguish between the archetypical mind and the process of incarnational experience of the mind/body/spirit complex.
Secondly,
each potentiation which has been reached for by the Matrix is recorded by the Matrix but experienced by the Significator.
The experience of the Significator of this potentiated activity
is of course dependent upon the acuity of its processes of Catalyst and Experience.
May we ask if there are briefer queries before we leave this instrument?
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.
The Law of One, Book IV, Session 92
Questioner: In the last session we discussed the first tarot card of the Egyptian type.
Are there any distortions in the cards that we have that Ra did not originally intend or any additions that Ra did intend in this particular tarot?
Ra: The distortions remaining after the removal of astrological material are those having to do with the mythos of the culture to which Ra offered this teach/learning tool.
This is why we have suggested approaching the images looking for the heart of the image rather than being involved overmuch by the costumes and creatures of a culture not familiar to your present incarnation.
We have no wish to add to an already distorted group of images, feeling that although distortion is inevitable there is the least amount which can be procured in the present arrangement.
Questioner: Then you are saying that the cards that we have here are the best available cards.
Ra: I am Ra. Your statement is correct in that we consider the so-called Egyptian tarot the most undistorted version of the images which Ra offered.
This is not to intimate that other systems may not, in their own way, form an helpful architecture for the adept’s consideration of the archetypical mind.
The Law of One, Book IV, Session 96
Questioner: I have planned to re-draw the tarot cards omitting the extraneous additions by those who came after Ra and I would like quickly to go through those things that I intend to eliminate from each card and ask Ra if there is anything else that should be eliminated to make the cards as they were before the astrological and other appendages were added.
I would eliminate all of the letters from the edge of the card with the possible exception of the number of the card.
That would be the case for all of the cards.
In Card Number One
I would eliminate the star, the wand in the Magician’s hand, and I understand that the sphere remains but I am not really sure where it should be.
Would Ra comment on that please?
Ra: I am Ra.
Firstly,
the elimination of letters is acceptable.
Secondly,
the elimination of stars is acceptable in all cases.
Thirdly,
the elimination of the wand is appropriate.
Fourthly,
the sphere may be seen to be held by the thumb and index and second finger.
Fifthly,
we would note that it is not possible to offer what you may call a pure deck, if you would use this term, of tarot due to the fact that when these images were first drawn there was already distortion in various and sundry ways, mostly cultural.
Sixthly,
although it is good to view the images without the astrological additions, it is to be noted that the more general positions, phases, and characteristics of each concept complex are those which are significant.
The removal of all distortions is unlikely and, to a great extent, unimportant.
Questioner: I didn’t think that we could ever remove all distortions but it is very difficult to work with or interpret these cards because of the quality of the drawing, and as we go through them we get a better idea of what some of these things are and how they should be drawn.
I think that we can improve on the quality of the cards and also remove some of the extraneous material that is misleading.
On the second card
we should remove the letters and the stars.
At the center of the female form here she is wearing something that looks something like a crux ansata and we should change that. Is that correct?
Ra: I am Ra. We perceive an incomplete query.
Please requestion.
Questioner: I think that I should put a crux ansata in the place of this thing that looks a little like a crux ansata on the front of the female. Is that correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.
Questioner: Then as to the thing that she wears on her head, that, I believe, is a bit confusing.
What should it be shaped like?
Ra: I am Ra. We shall allow the student to ponder this point.
We note that although it is an astrologically based addition to the concept complex it is not entirely unacceptable when viewed with a certain feeling.
Therefore, we suggest, O student, that you choose whether to remove the crown or to name its meaning in such a way as to enhance the concept complex.
Questioner: Would Ra please give me any information possible on the ratios of dimensions, and the shape of the crux ansata as it should be made or drawn?
Ra: I am Ra. No.
Questioner:
In Card Number Three
we will remove all the letters and the stars and I assume that the little cups around the outside of the rays representing the sun should be removed? Is that correct?
Ra: I am Ra. Yes
Questioner:
In Card Number Four
we will remove all the letters and the stars and it seems that again we have a situation of removing the wand and putting the sphere in the hand. Is that correct?
Ra: I am Ra. Again, this is a matter of choice.
Though astrological in nature, this particular scepter has possibilities of relevance in the originally intended concept complex.
This instrument is experiencing some small lack of that distortion which you call proper breathing due to the experience of your near past, as you perceive it.
Therefore, as this instrument has requested a substantial enough amount of transferred energy to be retained that it might effect a comfortable re-entry, we shall at this time ask for one more query, after noting the following.
We did not complete our statement upon the dimensions of the crux ansata.
It is given in many places.
There are decisions to be made as to which drawing of this image is the appropriate one.
We may, of course, suggest viewing the so-called Great Pyramid if the puzzle is desired.
We do not wish to work this puzzle.
It was designed in order that in its own time it be deciphered.
In general, of course, this image has the meaning previously stated.
The Law of One, Book IV, Session 97
Questioner: Are there any items in the first four cards not of Ra’s intention that we could remove to present a less confusing card as we make our new drawings?
Ra: I am Ra. We find much material in this query which would constitute repetition.
May we suggest rephrasing the query?
Questioner: Possibly I didn’t phrase that the way I meant to.
We had already determined the items that should be removed from the first four cards and my question was: had I missed anything that should be removed that was not of Ra’s original intention?
Ra: I am Ra. We shall repeat our opinion that there are several concepts which, in each image, are astrologically based.
However, these concepts are not without merit within the concept complex intended by Ra, given the perception by the student of these concepts in an appropriate manner.
We wish not to form that which may be considered by any mind/body/spirit complex to be a complete and infallible series of images.
There is a substantial point to be made in this regard.
We have been, with the questioner’s aid, investigating the concept complexes of the great architecture of the archetypical mind.
To more clearly grasp the nature, the process, and the purpose of archetypes, Ra provided a series of concept complexes.
In no way whatsoever should we, as humble messengers of the one infinite Creator, wish to place before the consideration of any mind/body/spirit complex which seeks its evolution the palest tint of the idea that these images are anything but a resource for working in the area of the development of the faith and the will.
To put this into perspective we must gaze then at the stunning mystery of the one infinite Creator.
The archetypical mind does not resolve any paradoxes or bring all into unity.
This is not the property of any source which is of the third-density.
Therefore, may we ask the student to look up from inward working and behold the glory, the might, the majesty, the mystery, and the peace of oneness.
Let no consideration of bird or beast, darkness or light, shape or shadow keep any which seeks from the central consideration of unity.
We are not messengers of the complex.
We bring the message of unity.
In this perspective only may we affirm the value to the seeker of adepthood of the grasping, articulating, and use of this resource of the deep mind exemplified by the concept complex of the archetypes.
The Law of One, Book IV, Session 99
Questioner: We now have an additional set of tarot images.
Which of these two sets are closer to Ra’s original intention?
Ra: I am Ra. The principle which moves in accordance with the dynamics of teach/learning with most efficiency is constancy.
We could explore the archetypical mind using that set of images produced by the one known as Fathman or we could use those which have been used.
In point of fact, those which are being used have some subtleties which enrich the questioning.
As we have said, this set of images is not that which we gave.
This is not material.
We could use any of a multitude of devised tarot sets.
Although this must be at the discretion of the questioner, we suggest the maintaining of one and only one set of distorted images to be used for the querying and note that the images you now use are good.
The Law of One, Book IV, Session 103
Questioner: I’ll have to think about that.
I’ll come back to that.
We were thinking of replacing the sword in the right hand with the magical sphere and putting a downward-pointing scepter in the left hand, similar to Card Five, the Significator, as symbols more appropriate for this card.
Would Ra comment on that, please?
Ra: I am Ra. This is quite acceptable, especially if the sphere may be imaged as spherical and effulgent.

Questioner: Then I would guess that the twenty-first archetype would represent contact with intelligent infinity.
Is that correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct, although one may also see the reflection of this contact as well as the contact with intelligent energy which is the Universe or, as you have called it somewhat provincially, the World.
Questioner: Then by this contact also with intelligent energy can you give me an example of what this would be for both the contact with intelligent infinity and the contact with intelligent energy?
Could you give me an example of what type of experience this would result in, if that is at all possible?
Ra: I am Ra. This shall be the last query of this working of full length.
We have discussed the possibilities of contact with intelligent energy,
for this energy is the energy of the Logos, and thus it is the energy which heals, builds, removes, destroys, and transforms all other-selves as well as the self.
The contact with intelligent infinity
is most likely to produce an unspeakable joy in the entity experiencing such contact.
If you wish to query in more detail upon this subject, we invite you to do so in another working.
Is there a brief query before we close this working?
