The Experience of the Spirit

[third-density-being]

Hello Dear Other-Selves,

Thank You for All your Words.

The moonlight, then, offers either a true picture seen in shadow or chimera and falsity.

There is absolutely nothing “certain” within Environment of the Experience of the Spirit.
I prefer interpreting “two dogs” as two Aspects of Self, rather than “confronting Other-Self” (as to divide Self). I think it is about recognition within Self true nature of the “Spirit of Self”. There’s no “good” nor “bad” natures of Spirit – both are Embraced by the Spirit and Creator Him/Her/It/They-Self/Selves.
Therefore “two dogs” signify for me following things:
- for either Adept, more obvious/easier-perceived is an opposite Path/Polarization (as Other-Selves and Events/Phenomenon and Their nature/”polarization They possess / carrying with Self”).
- “two dogs” are not looking at each-Other, but Up, at the Moon. I had a dog for fourteen years (German-shepherd), and I always saw in  His eyes, when He was about to attack His Fellow Other-Second-Density-Self. He was looking at Other-Self eyes and His nose was pointed down to Earth. His head was in position of “two dogs” when He was trying to catch a fly “Two dogs” seeks the same thing – Spirit/The Moon – but both seems to “start” from “unfavorable position”. Also Their tails are lifted up-high – There are Highly-Attentive with “High Alertness”.
- either of the “two dogs” is not “Enlighten” by the Spirit/The Moon and it makes extremely hard to distinguish that, what is sought for each of the “dog”.

The power of falsity is deep as is the power to discern truth from shadow.

In Environment of this Archetype, Self finds Self (literally) poorly informed but motivated enough to pursue Spirits/The Moon Light. At this point I would like to write, that I fully agree with Words of Aaron:

Is this the "Experience of the spirit", or "The experience of the spirit"?

Ra describes the spirit as a shuttle to intelligent infinity, or the channel by which contact with intelligent infinity is made.

The moon as depicted in this card strikes me as being the spirit itself, that spiritual self which is always replenishing itself, always full, always whole, and needs no movement or seeking.

In fifth and sixth density, but especially fifth, where the spirit is consciously experienced, it is not necessary to recycle body complexes:
(…)

I think it is “The Experience of  the Spirit”. “At Our current Beingness”, Spirit is beyond Our direct grasp. As quote pointed out, it is fifth-density, where “The Experience of the Spirit” (Conscious contact with Spirit – Aspect of Self – to Become Spirit) is possible/established.

Spirit is Unspoken/Incomprehensible/Subtle/Divine. To really tap to Spirit’s Source, is to tap to the abilities of Creator Him/Her/It/Them-Self/Selves. As in following quote Ra Him/Her/Them-Self-Selves pointed out:  

The shadow of hidden things is an infinite depth in which is stored the power of the One Infinite Creator.

This is an astonishing information for Being on “Dark Path”/who Embraced Polarization Service-to-Self (to Serve Creator through Self).

(…)the power of the One Infinite Creator(…).
What kind of “mode of Beingness” would One become? “How One would understand Him/Her “Self”? In consequence, Identity changes dramatically/drastically. As JustLikeYou wrote when interpreting Catalyst of the Spirit:

Prior to the striking of the lightning, we maintain numerous beliefs about ourselves and our surroundings which seem perfectly acceptable, true, and useful. But when the catastrophe occurs, only then do you realize what really matters. Only then do you learn that the petty things are nothings, wispy and ephemeral they fall away with ease. Food doesn't matter, comfort doesn't matter, the opinions of others don't matter. What matters is what lies within you at the deepest levels.

Those are Strong Words that are describing Profound Change within Self, that was initiated by the Lighting (Potentiator of the Spirit) and sought with Faith/One-Pointendess through an entire Environment of the Catalyst of the Spirit.
Self uncovers and starts to explore an entire new/alien/fearful/hopeful Environment/Aspect of Self/Aspect of Reality Self is currently Existing in/Aspect of Beingness unknown and unperceived before until now – as this bolded, three letters/symbol on the background of this text. At some point of Seekings, such “visibility/obviousness/Clearness of Aspect of Spirit” will be accessible to third-density Seeker.

Getting back to quote of Ra: For Beings/Entities on Service-to-Self Path, this Environment seems to be more preferably than next Archetype on the Path of Spiritual Evolution of Consciousness of this/Our Logos.

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.

Why? Because of hidden within Shadows Power of Creator Him/Her/It/Them-Self/Selves. Infinite Source of All Possibilities. If Adept would succeed in tapping to such Source, His/Her Capability would be literally limitless. I understand the temptation of such Path.

Service-to-Other Seeker/Adept attempts to clarify the “Light of The Moon”, to bring it upon Self to assist Self to discern nature of All Experiences and to follow the “Path of Clarification” and accepting/integrating.

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.

I think in this particular Archetype Polarity truly establishes Self – this is Springboard for further intensification of Seekings. Seekings, that from Experience of the Spirit acquire “Magical” Qualities/Attributes/Nature of Experience. And word “Magical” is a cultural based/shaped/created (mass-Consciousness) label/Word/name for mass-Perception of the Unknown.

So few truly tapped to the Spirit with strong enough Focused One-Pointendess/Faith and possess equally Refined Power-of-Will (“The Sculpture”) which through Mind manifest Spirit in/through the Body/third-density. Mass-Memories of those Accomplishments are alive and clothed with/in myths and ancient tales. In most cases they depicting Service-to-Self Adepts.

One of very valuable way of perceiving/understanding the nature of Polarization, would be to ascribe following understanding to each Pole:
Service-to-Others – To Radiate with and Accept/Appreciate Flow of Light
Service-to-Self – To Absorb and Redirect Flow of Light

---

Service-to-Others Path always seeks The Sun (Significator of the Spirit).
As this Aspect is important to fully understand Experience of the Spirit, I would like to quote a Lovely description/Understanding of Seeker JustLikeYou, of what Service-to-Others Path’s Significator of the Spirit/The Sun/Radiating and Accepting the Light really is:

(…)
The Significator of the Spirit is an Archetype of harmony. To describe the experience of this Archetype is to rely upon mystical terminology, for the spirit, when experienced as the self, is in constant communion with the Infinite. Tonight, I prepared myself a mug of hot chocolate and took a walk around my neighborhood, enjoying the cool December night, observing the high energy of the college kids heading out to their parties on a Saturday night, and appreciating the trees that greeted me along the way. I walked slowly, without any particular destination, knowing that there was no hurry to get anywhere. The purpose of my walk was the experience of walking. Each scene that I observed, whether it was the static placidity of the trees or the dynamic movement of the college kids, seemed to be in its proper place. I did not wish any of them to be any different than they were.

As I walked, it seemed that the dark places of my spirit, those places not yet discovered, were not in conflict with the aspects of my spirit which have found expression in my life already. Do I have much yet to learn? Most certainly. Yet this simply was not the point tonight. The point was that I belong exactly where I am, that this small piece of the Universe is holy, sacred, perfect. Anywhere I might turn, I would still find myself walking upon holy ground, and at every moment the spiritual self which is known finds itself facing the spiritual self which is not yet known. Each tree, each student, offered me not only a piece of myself, but a microcosmic reflection of my very being, an infinity coiled up into a beautiful little gift for me on this one particular Autumn evening. Whereas the mind sees in the other-self that which can be known, the spirit sees that which is mysterious because it is infinite.
(…)

What about Service-to-Self Path? For Spirit both Paths/Polarizations are Equally Valued and Desired.

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.

Does Adepts of this Path rejects Significator of the Spirit? Can They close Great Cycle of Spirit without It? Matters unanswered for me at this time.

RA’s Words regarding “density ascending” suggest dual natural of Catalyst of the Spirit:

82.28
(…)
Ra: Prior to the veiling process the measurement would be that of an entity
walking up a set of your stairs, each of which was imbued with a certain
quality of light. The stair upon which an entity stopped would be either
third-density light or fourth-density light. Between the two stairs lies the
threshold. To cross that threshold is difficult. There is resistance at the edge,
shall we say, of each density. The faculty of faith or will needs to be
understood, nourished, and developed in order to have an entity which
seeks past the boundary of third density. Those entities which do not do
their homework, be they ever so amiable, shall not cross. It was this
situation which faced the Logoi prior to the veiling process being
introduced into the experiential continuum of third density.
(…)

RA used logical disjunction or. That would suggest, that name Faith for an Archetype presenting Qualities/Attributes/Movement/Processes of the Catalyst of the Spirit, is of Service-to-Others Polarization/Nature. For Service-to-Self Beings, Arcanum No. 17 is called The Will.

Polarization seems to determine in extreme way what Experience of the Spirit is for each Adept. In this Archetype lies most differences which are most significant from all Others co-Creators/Arcanum. Here Adepts making an actual and fully honest Choice.
Polarization of the Spirit, in terms of experience on two other Paths might be expressed in some silent/deeply-inner longings/echoes/tendencies to certain kind/form/”angle-of-Approach” thought-patterns, reaction, behaviors, cherished Beliefs, etc.

What are You Prod Of? What are You ashamed Of?
This may be example of “Experiences of the Spirit” – quite extreme example, but easy to grasp. Most of experiences related to the Spirit (practically each and every one of Them One is Experiencing) are vague, dancing at the threshold of Seekers Perception/Comprehension. Always willing to step through, if invited/welcomed appropriately.  

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.

What is Invited/Welcomed and Hosted-within-Self will Polarize Beings in an exponential rate. I believe that Environment of The Moon (Shadows/Mysteries/Possibilities/Temptations/ the power of the One Infinite Creator) may be literally a Springboard to an End of Great Cycle/Last Archetype/Density-Ascension, for determined and dedicated Adept of either Path. It is “here”, when “Separation” truly occurs and is not United/Balanced until middle sixth-density, where Illusion of Separation finally Falls and both Poles of Polarization become One again.

---

It is my brave Thought, that late sixth-density and an entire seventh-one are dedicated to refining “Oneness?/To become All-That-Was-Is-and-Shall-Be. True “Singularity”, that probably is manifested at All Levels-of-Beingness/Densities at once – which suggest one of possible interpretations of Phenomenon labeled by Us as “Black Hole”. In such line of Thoughts, Black-Hole is literally an end of Octave (to Return to Logoi by/through Becoming Logoi).

---

To embrace falsity, to know it, to seek it, and to use it gives a power that is most great.

For both Paths.
Service-to-Other Seeker may fall for Catalyst of Service-to-Self nature and Potential of fast Polarization, that might be clothed with Service-to-Others Qualities and actions – but at the root would build within Self Momentum that would plant a “Seed of Experience”, that offers vast variety of possibility of negative/directed-at-Self nature.
On side of Experience of two others Paths, This may induce certain Thought-Patterns/Tendencies/Temptations, etc. Once tasted Fruit will leave unforgettable aftertaste; an Experience that forever will become Part of You.

I think it may be compared to “basic concepts” of an Idea of Meme, that treats “Idea” almost like an Entities/Viruses that “spread from Mind to Mind”. In some way it is similar with Our Experience, which become part of Seeker’s very Intimate and Individual “Filtration process” of Everything that We “let into Self”, that is consonant with Our Understanding of what Is that what We Seek, and It’s Nature.

The Light of the Moon on the ground between “two dogs” and the Scorpio in the middle of it.

To this I believe following quote is relating:

To embrace falsity, to know it, to seek it, and to use it gives a power that is most great.

Bolded part refers to Ability to Direct Self. To possess Wisdom to perceive, recognize and accept/reject or reject/accept encountered Catalyst of the Spirit, which in such take is mentioned earlier Seed of Seekings, as well as Seed of Polarization, that Adept continue to Nourish and Grow within Environment of next Archetype – The Moon. (Therefore at Catalyst Arcanum Female is pouring fluids into/offering to Both Polarities Equal Acceptance and Care).

The adept, then, is working with the power of hidden things illuminated by that which can be false or true.

With Faith/Will or Will/Faith, an Adept is Consciously Learning/Teaching Him/Her-Self. He/She is in a position of Investing significantly within Self / to Accelerate His/Her Journey on/at chosen Path. In order to do so, true nature of Scorpio must be revealed. Is it the Catalyst One is Seeking? Is it a Guise/False direction? It is up to Each and Every Being/Entity/Consciousness within this Logos to determine that.

Inevitable both of Paths leads to the Transformation of the Spirit:

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.

All I have Best in me for You
