Firstly, thank you for taking the time for posting all these observations and for all the thoughtful replies.
I have some questions regarding the matrix and potentiater.
1.
For the matrix of the mind (masculine) ra says it is seen to reach out while the Potentiator of mind (feminine) is seen to await the reaching.
in 92.20 "In a more general sense, that which reaches may be seen as a male principle. That which awaits the reaching may be seen as a female principle."
Above you mention:
So the Matrix is that part of the Significator which receives the imprint of the Potentiator. The Potentiator is that part of the Significator which projects that which is to be experienced upon the Matrix. The Matrix is the screen, the Potentiator is the signal, the Significator is the eye.
I was under the impression the matrix of mind was more of an output so it wouldn't receive. and the potentiator would instead receive. Or is what your saying different in that you're referring to a part of the significator and not the matrix of mind on it's own? Any way to further articulate you thoughts here would be helpful.
2. We know that when Don asks about the differences of male and female. ra says "When the veiling process was accomplished, to the male polarity was attracted the Matrix of the Mind and to the female, the Potentiator of the Mind, to the male the Potentiator of the Body, to the female the Matrix of the Body."
So the sexual polarity of the matrix and potentiator of the mind and body are reversed. My question is what do you think the sexual polarity of the spirit archetypes of Matrix and potentiator would be? are they more unified or do you feel they still subscribe to male and female charateristics.
I would think the matrix of spirit would be Feminine based of what Ra says in:
78.11
"The Matrix of the Spirit is what you may call the Night of the Soul or Primeval Darkness. Again we have that which is not capable of movement or work. The potential power of this extremely receptive matrix is such that the potentiator may be seen as Lightning."
I only say this because i'm going off the nature of the matrix of spirit as that of being receptive rather than that of "reaching or doing."
Any thoughts?
Love and Light
