Wherein Lies the Power of the Archetypes?

[Unbound]

I believe their purpose relates to what Ra calls the "disciplines of the personality".

You seem to equate abilities of manipulation with power?

Indeed. The ability to manifest according to your will... is that not power?

Aha No, I would not say it is, maybe power in a material sense, but not true power. Power is awareness, the ability to manifest is really more of an emergent effect of spiritual power, but is not the power itself. The Yogis and Buddhists often refer to the dangers of becoming "intoxicated by siddhis" or becoming obsessed with "spiritual powers".
