Random Archetype Insights

[Plenum]

The Chariot:

this is the card:



and this is what Ra offers on it:

79.41 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.

my own reading of this archetype is that it represents the level of vibration or 'quality' of a mind.

throughout the Ra material, it is constantly empahsised that the Creation appears in divisions or stratifications of 7. And that these '7's' become progressively more finely divided. For eg, there are '7 densities' and in each density (like our 3rd density) there are 7 sub-densities, and in each subdensity, there are 7 sub-sub-densities. Same goes for the chakra system. There are 7 energy centres, and in each chakra there are 7 sublevels if one is able to read energy that finely. And the division goes on.

The point being, that between each of these 'sub-levels' there is a certain resistance factor to moving up to a higher sub-level. These 'resistances' are based on understandings of the self that may be obtained through reflection of one's experience. One then 'graduates' or moves through these levels when one is ready, and vibrationally able to handle that 'higher state'.

The Chariot here, being the Great Way of the Mind represents the environment in which the mind archetypes function and exist. It is not a process that is 'activated', but rather it is the encompassing factor of what the mind 'does'.

and what the mind does is progressively move through different levels of what I term 'experiential banding'; when one is finished and done with one experience, and one is sick of playing with a toy or something, then the 'chariot' can 'move one' into a different level of experience.

and so people who like the same things cluster together and talk their interests; their mind vibing or vibrating at the same experiential banding. And as I'm sure you've experienced in your lifetime, when you change interests sometimes you can't hang out with your former buddies; not because you no longer like what you did, or that you dislike those people anymore, but because you are in a different experiential space now.

your bodies may be in the same location, but the chariot has taken your mind to a different sub-level.

so that's my current understanding of what this archetype represents.
