Wherein Lies the Power of the Archetypes?

[Unbound]

Heh, you separate material from the spiritual.

How do you gather that? Because I refer to a difference between spiritual power and material power? What I suggest is that material gain is not the same as spiritual gain. I do not separate the realms, I acknowledge the spectrum of mind in relation to experience and the many levels of perception through which it does so. The spiritual and material are one, but that doesn't mean there is no focal difference in terms of relating the concepts to experience.

Ra: I am Ra. We would first respond to your confusion as regards the various writings upon the archetypical mind. You may well consider the very informative difference between a thing in itself and its relationships or functions. There is much study of archetype which is actually the study of functions, relationships, and correspondences. The study of planets, for instance, is an example of archetype seen as function. However, the archetypes are, first and most profoundly, things in themselves and the pondering of them and their purest relationships with each other should be the most useful foundation for the study of the archetypical mind.
