hyper intuition as a 'drug'

[Tenet Nosce]

And this is not necessarily requiring the masculine method of thinking or analytical study, it could be just arranging it in the proper place in one's valuing system (feeling 'rationality').

Valuation is neither linear, biaxial, nor triaxial. It is multidimensional.

Beyond intellect and intuition, we have instinct. We have insight. Inspiration. And others.

The dichotomy of analytic/synthetic modes of thought is a false one, and I do not think fully representative of Ra's presentation.

Questioner: It seems to me that the Experience of the Mind would act in such a way as to change the nature of the veil so that catalyst would be filtered so as to be acceptable in the bias that is increasingly chosen by the entity. For instance, if he had chosen the right-hand path the Experience of the Mind would change the permeability of the veil to accept more and more positive catalyst. Also the other would be true for accepting more negative catalyst if the left-hand path were the one that was chosen. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is not only correct but there is a further ramification. As the entity increases in experience it shall, more and more, choose positive interpretations of catalyst if it is upon the service-to-others path and negative interpretations of catalyst if its experience has been of the service-to-self path.

In order to more and more choose positive interpretations of catalyst, then one must increasingly apply a value system which confers value to catalyst by virtue of existence, i.e. "It is catalyst, therefore it must be positive". Such an apprehension requires no analytical input from the intellect.

Questioner: In the fourth archetype the card shows a male whose body faces forward. I assume that this indicates that the Experience of the Mind will reach for catalyst. However, the face is to the left which indicates to me that in reaching for catalyst, negative catalyst will be more apparent in its power and effect. Would Ra comment on this?

Ra: I am Ra. The archetype of Experience of the Mind reaches not, O student, but, with firm authority, grasps what it is given. The remainder of your remarks are perceptive.

The Experience of the Mind grasps what is given to it, by the medium of intuition or any other faculty of mind. "Failure to accept that which is given" equates to a failure to polarize.

Some of the representations of this would be dismissing new and/or unusual ideas "out of hand", refusing to acknowledge facts which run contrary to one's worldview, or ad hominem attacks upon those who think differently from the accepted "norm".

It is not the proper function of the intellect to decide what is "acceptable". Rather, it is the function of the intellect to choose how to accept that which is given. If the intellect should find that it lacks the information necessary to accept that which is given, then the proper response would be to seek for that information, rather than to claim that it must not exist.
