The Practical Aspects of the Ra Material

[xise]

Is another way to describe the study of archetypes is to say that they are detailed roadmaps and explanations of broad concepts in this reality? Ie the choice being about polarization? Ie death being broadly speaking, change? Is the fruit of the study of these the subtle nuances to those concepts that may go unnoticed unless one studies one of three systems?

When I read these threads on the archetypes, thats the best way to describe what I perceive. I must be missing something. Perhaps I need more balancing. It just feels that archetypes are true, and inherent, I don't feel like I'm learning something new when I read others descriptions of them, other than a few subtleties on occasion. I'm gonna to have to study it more.

In high school, jungian archetypes and Joseph Campbell always fascinated me, and in college I was a philosophy major in part, so I love thinking about these concepts. I've found it useful to identify archetypal behavior and thought patterns all my life in myself and people, so it is an area of natural interest. I'm just finding it difficult to find something new, so I must be missing something. I will have to meditate on it.

Edit: is the study of archetypes like meditation - where you can't always describe the benefits but somehow things click more?
