Chatroom Meditation: Scheduling

[Plenum]

Thanking the Balance Archetype

Date: 20 February, Saturday
Time: 10AM EST, 3PM London, 2am Sydney (following day)
Location: Chatroom 2 - the Lounge

Theme: This particular archetype (the 'Balance') is also known as the 'Matrix of the Body'.  It is a clearly feminine archetype, and those who happen to be of this gender have a closer affinity to the energies and vibrations that this particular centering point offers.

An Image, first of all:



she seems to have a pretty sweet ride, and there's lots of symbols going on in that image.  It's a very active place.  

This is what Ra offered, in terms of general comprehension of this archetype:

The Matrix of the Body may be seen to be a reflection in opposites of the mind; that is, unrestricted motion.

The Potentiator of the Body then is that which, being informed, regulates activity.

So the essence of this card is 'unrestricted motion'.

Both this card, and the next one (the Potentiator of the Body') I have a lesser grasp of, compared to the other 20 Archetypes.  So I'll draw upon some words of JustLikeYou for further referencing.  This is from this page here: http://thearchitecture.josephdartez.com/...mentation/

He calls the Balance Archetype the 'Wild One', and a good reference point is this Game of Thrones character.



and here are some of his thoughts on this Archetype:

The Archetype I’ve named the “Wild One” is usually known as the Wild Woman. I chose against the term “woman” as part of her name in an effort to distinguish between feminine (i.e. Archetypal) and female (i.e. incarnate human being). The Wild One is a living manifestation or symbol of Mother Nature. Her mind and body ebb and flow with the natural cycles, her tenderness and ire both traceable to nature’s complicated rhythms. She views herself simply; in fact, she spends very little time in reflection as the mind is not especially interesting to her. The Wild One walks barefoot into the forest while the birds and beasts cluster around her as if she were a blooming flower or a nourishing pond.

The Wild One has a youthfulness of appearance that comes from her complete conformity to the cycles within her. She does not fight herself, nor does she expect anything of herself. To her, living and moving gives the utmost pleasure all on its own without any need for quest or excursion. The Wild One is famously sexual and sensual, the two almost indistinguishable to her. The nymphs of Greek lore, who were personified instances of the Wild One, were known for their sensuality—but not for their romanticism. The Wild One has within her none of the romance and fantasy of the Débutante or the Bride. She is bored by Stories. To her, every motion and every touch is an adventure which renders the mind and its imaginings almost superfluous.

The Wild One moves according to cycles, but those cycles are governed by laws. Although she may not have any interest in the mind, she is nevertheless bound by the rule of the metaphysical where natural laws exist and exert their force. Researchers observe this link between the two of them and find even greater beauty in the Wild One for her utter adherence to these laws. The Wild One is an instrument for the expression of the mathematical elegance in the complex pathways of energy fields and matter forming the totality of our physical world. Her grace comes from a wisdom beyond her own awareness, each movement, if studied, revealing symmetry, efficiency, ecology, and poise. None of these concepts are interesting to her, though, because she simply goes where impulse leads.

The Wild One, though graceful and balanced, is also utterly unrestrained—as her name suggests. Her fluid inner world can awaken with either passion or fury if the circumstances are right. She will ruthlessly hurt or maim anyone who upsets the balance of her cyclic dance, just as she will astonish those who are unfamiliar with her carnal sensuality. If nothing else, the Wild One is unapologetic.
