How may I begin to free myself from the constraints of the thoughts of other-selves?

[Jade]

Upon reflection, it's probably possible to tie this phenomenon to almost each chakra, orange on up - in that as one becomes individuated and accepts themselves as a part of the pack but still outside of it, they must struggle with acceptance of many things, which in turn allows the faculty of judgement to fall away. It reminds me of this:

80.20 Questioner: Sorry about that. Can you tell me what the twentieth archetype would be?

Ra: I am Ra. 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.

So, my guess is that a key is that it ties into conscious use of the Transformation cards, particularly picking oneself up in the spirit cycle after the lightning collapses the tower (potentiator). In fact, the original quote is from discussion of the Matrix. It's the honor/duty of using applied knowledge/awareness to create a better reality.

80.10 Questioner: Now, the fifteenth archetype, which is the Matrix of the Spirit, has been called the Devil. Can you tell me why that is so?

Ra: I am Ra. We do not wish to be facile in such a central query, but we may note that the nature of the spirit is so infinitely subtle that the fructifying influence of light upon the great darkness of the spirit is very often not as apparent as the darkness itself. The progress chosen by many adepts becomes a confused path as each adept attempts to use the Catalyst of the Spirit. Few there are which are successful in grasping the light of the sun. By far, the majority of adepts remain groping in the moonlight and, as we have said, this light can deceive as well as uncover hidden mystery. Therefore, the melody, shall we say, of this matrix often seems to be of a negative and evil, as you would call it, nature.

It is also to be noted that an adept is one which has freed itself more and more from the constraints of the thoughts, opinions, and bonds of other-selves. Whether this is done for service to others or service to self, it is a necessary part of the awakening of the adept. This freedom is seen by those not free as what you would call evil or black. The magic is recognized; the nature is often not.

You gain spiritual insights (potentiator). To go further along the path, you must apply this knowledge to "wake up" out of third density separation. You have two choices upon which to spend your spiritual energy offered by the Faith (catalyst) card: You can choose to take no actions, to disengage, to return all energy to the void (or hoard it for the self), or you can choose to pull from the watery depths of the subconscious to create out of love, to still interact with the third density sphere that we are all a part of, with hope to create beauty. Even if everyone else in the world is telling you otherwise, you have Faith that you are doing the right thing (looking away from that which you are creating - no attachment to the perceived outcome).
