Intro to the archetypes

[Jade]

I believe we have been given this amazing tool by Ra, to teach us how to do "better". More than any "gadget", this tool is a map to exploring all of the possible gestalts of consciousness available, and to seat them in our experience. This map is also available in the Tree of Life, or astrologically, which I have studied before. Once I found the Law of One, though, my interest in astrology actually dwindled, likely to prepare me to excitedly embrace the teachings of the Tarot.

Do the studies equate each other to you?

I am far from being knowledgeable, the tree of life did not sink in much but seemed focused upon the nature of reality, astrology upon relationships of self with both self and other-selves within manyness (local manyness within local influences) and tarot cards seemed focused upon spiritual evolution of self.

What I realized is that is it really about the emotional gestalts, i.e., each planet/sign has their own mood/meaning, and then when you combine them all up, each one means something different. Like, if transiting Saturn conjuncts your moon, that would be one "event", and astrologically being aware of it you can harness the archetypal power involved in that event. As far as spiritual meaning in astrology, there is plenty - Neptune represents the spiritual realm, as well as Pisces, and the 12th house of the chart. It is pretty different though - I've never studied the Tree of Life, but something tells me it's more similar in general to the tarot. Really, I just see it as a way to look at emotional events from the outside, and again, "map" them in a way that they make context in the whole, and in a way that feedbacks to the self constructively.

At the core, it's about developing the intuition through symbolism, right-brain skills that we are not inherently taught.
