The Law of One, Book IV, Session 80

Questioner: Then for the twentieth archetype I’m guessing that this is the Transformation of the Spirit, possibly analogous to the sixth-density merging of the paths.

Is this in any way correct?

Ra: I am Ra. No.

Questioner: Sorry about that.

Can you tell me what the twentieth archetype would be?

Ra: I am Ra. That which you call the Sarcophagus in your system may be seen to be the material world, if you will.

This material world is transformed by the spirit into that which is infinite and eternal.

The infinity of the spirit is an even greater realization than the infinity of consciousness, for consciousness which has been disciplined by will and faith is that consciousness which may contact intelligent infinity directly.

There are many things which fall away in the many, many steps of adepthood.

We, of Ra, still walk these steps and praise the one infinite Creator at each transformation.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 89

Questioner: In Archetype One, represented by tarot card number one, the Matrix of the Mind seems to have four basic parts to the complex.

Looking at the card we have, first and most obvious, the Magician and what seems to be an approaching star.

A stork or similar bird seems to be in a cage.

On top of the cage seems to be something that seems to be very difficult at (?) discern.

Am I in any way correct in this analysis?

Ra: I am Ra. You are competent at viewing pictures.

You have not yet grasped the nature of the Matrix of the Mind as fully as is reliably possible upon contemplation.

We would note that the representations drawn by priests were somewhat distorted by acquaintance with and dependence upon the astrologically based teachings of the Chaldees.

Questioner: I have an observation on Archetype Number One made by (name) and I request comment on it by Ra.

I will read it, “The Matrix of the Mind is the conscious mind and is sustained by the power of the spirit as symbolized by the star which flows to it through the subconscious mind.

It contains the will which is signified by the scepter of power in the Magician’s hand.

All of creation is made through the power of the will directed by the conscious mind of the Magician, and the bird in the cage represents the illusion in which the self seems trapped.

The Magician represents maleness or the radiance of being manifested as the creation through which each entity moves.”

Ra: I am Ra. As this instrument is becoming somewhat weary we shall not begin this considerable discussion.

We would request that this series of observations be repeated at the outset of the next working. We would suggest that each concept be discussed separately or, if appropriate, a pair of concepts be related one to the other within the concept complex.

This is slow work but shall make the eventual building of the concept complexes more smoothly accomplished.

Were we to have answered the observations as read by you at this space/time, as much space/time would have been given to the untangling of various concepts as to the building up of what were very thoughtful perceptions.

May we ask if there are any brief queries at this time?

13th Archetype

Questioner: We have already discussed the Significator, so I will skip number thirteen.

The Transformation of the Body is called Death, for with death the body is transformed to a higher vibrational body for additional learning.

Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct and may be seen to be additionally correct in that each moment and certainly each diurnal period of the bodily incarnation offers death and rebirth to one which is attempting to use the catalyst which is offered it.

14th Archetype

Questioner: Finally, the fourteenth, the Way of the Body is called the Alchemist because there is an infinity of time for the various bodies to operate within to learn the lessons necessary for evolution.

Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is less than completely correct as the Great Way of the Body must be seen, as are all the archetypes of the body, to be a mirror image of the thrust of the activity of the mind.

The body is the creature of the mind and is the instrument of manifestation for the fruits of mind and spirit.

Therefore, you may see the body as providing the athanor³ through which the Alchemist manifests gold.

³ athanor: an oven; a fire; a digesting furnace, formerly used in alchemy, so constructed as to maintain a uniform and constant heat.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 81

10th Archetype

Questioner: Going back to the previous session, picking up on the tenth archetype, which is the Catalyst of the Body, the Wheel of Fortune represents interaction with other-selves.

Is this a correct statement?

Ra: I am Ra. This may be seen to be a roughly correct statement in that each catalyst is dealing with the nature of those experiences entering the energy web and vibratory perceptions of the mind/body/spirit complex.

The most carefully noted addition would be that the outside stimulus of the Wheel of Fortune is that which offers both positive and negative experience.

11th Archetype

Questioner: The eleventh archetype would then be the Experience of the Body which represents the catalyst which has been processed by the mind/body/spirit complex and is called the Enchantress because it produces further seed for growth.

Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 80

Questioner: I guess the nineteenth archetype of the spirit would be the Significator of the Spirit.

Is that correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

Questioner: How would you describe the Significator of the Spirit?

Ra: I am Ra. In answer to the previous query we set about doing just this.

The Significator of the Spirit is that living entity which either radiates or absorbs the love and the light of the one infinite Creator, radiates it to others or absorbs it for the self.

Questioner: Then would this process of radiation or absorption, since we have what I would call a flux or flux rate, be the measure of the adept?

Ra: I am Ra. This may be seen to be a reasonably adequate statement.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 80

Questioner: The fifteenth archetype is the Matrix of the Spirit and has been called the Devil.

Can you tell me why that is so?

Ra: I am Ra. We do not wish to be facile in such a central query, but we may note that the nature of the spirit is so infinitely subtle that the fructifying influence of light upon the great darkness of the spirit is very often not as apparent as the darkness itself.

The progress chosen by many adepts becomes a confused path as each adept attempts to use the Catalyst of the Spirit.

Few there are which are successful in grasping the light of the sun.

By far, the majority of adepts remain groping in the moonlight and, as we have said, this light can deceive as well as uncover hidden mystery.

Therefore, the melody, shall we say, of this matrix often seems to be of a negative and evil, as you would call it, nature.

It is also to be noted that an adept is one which has freed itself more and more from the constraints of the thoughts, opinions, and bonds of otherselves. 

Whether this is done for service to others or service to self, it is a necessary part of the awakening of the adept.

This freedom is seen by those not free as what you would call evil or black.

The magic is recognized; the nature is often not.

Questioner: Could I say, then, that implicit in the process of becoming adept is the seeming polarization towards service to self because the adept becomes disassociated with many of his kind?

Ra: I am Ra. This is likely to occur.

The apparent happening is disassociation whether the truth is service to self and thus true disassociation from other-selves

or

service-to-others and thus true association with the heart of all other-selves and disassociation only from the illusory husks which prevent the adept from correctly perceiving the self and other-self as one.

Questioner: Then you say that this effect of disassociation on the service-to-others adept is a stumbling block or slowing process in reaching that goal to which he aspires? Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is incorrect.

This disassociation from the miasma of illusion and misrepresentation of each and every distortion is a quite necessary portion of an adept’s path.

It may be seen by others to be unfortunate.

Questioner: Then is this, from the point of view of the fifteenth archetype, somewhat of an excursion into the Matrix of the Spirit in this process?

Does that make any sense?

Ra: I am Ra. The excursion of which you speak and the process of disassociation is most usually linked with that archetype you call Hope which we would prefer to call Faith.

This archetype is the Catalyst of the Spirit and, because of the illuminations of the Potentiator of the Spirit, will begin to cause these changes in the adept’s viewpoint.

Questioner: I didn’t intend to get too far ahead of my questioning process here.

The positively or negatively polarized adept, then, is building a potential to draw directly on the spirit for power.

Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. It would be more proper to say that the adept is calling directly through the spirit to the universe for its power, for the spirit is a shuttle.

Questioner: The only obvious significant difference, I believe, between the positive and negative adepts in using this shuttle is the way they polarize.

Is there a relationship between the archetypes of the spirit and whether the polarization is either positive or negative?

Is, for instance, the positive calling through the sixteenth archetype and the negative calling through the fifteenth archetype?

I am very confused about this and I imagine that that question is either poor or meaningless.

Can you answer that?

Ra: I am Ra. It is a challenge to answer such a query, for there is some confusion in its construction.

However, we shall attempt to speak upon the subject.

The adept, whether positive or negative, has the same Matrix.

The Potentiator is also identical.

Due to the Catalyst of each adept
the adept may begin to pick and choose that into which it shall look further.

The Experience of the Spirit,
that which you have called the Moon, is then, by far, the more manifest of influences upon the polarity of the adept.

Even the most unhappy of experiences, shall we say, which seem to occur in the Catalyst of the adept, seen from the viewpoint of the spirit, may, with the discrimination possible in shadow, be worked with until light equaling the light of brightest noon descends upon the adept and positive or service-to-others illumination has occurred.

The service-to-self adept
will satisfy itself with the shadows and, grasping the light of day, will toss back the head in grim laughter, preferring the darkness.
