I was doing a lot of thinking about the Wheel of Fortune and the snake/kundalini imagery about a month or 2 ago, and then I forgot about it, but here are a couple things worth noting:
Chakra is Sanskrit for 'wheel.' The kundalini raises up from the south pole of the energy system resting at the highest chakra at which it can maintain a balanced state then radiating out in all directions to attract catalyst to that locus which can be used for balancing. The chakra at which the kundalini rests is indicative of the level at which the entity understands and experiences the world, it is their 'Wheel of Fortune' in a way.
Here's a look at how Ra explains the workings
of the kundalini:
So lets look at this idea of inner and outer energies meeting. At the bottom of the pillar is a winged disk flanked by serpents, a symbol associated with Horus-Behdety. The meaning of this symbol is heavily debated among egyptologists and occultists alike, but I think it terms of this image at least it would signify the instreamings of cosmic energy (or Shakti if you want to use the nomenclature associated with the Kundalini) which provides the limitless drive behind the up-streaming cosmic energy. The sphinx could then symbolize the mind complex, with it's spear of discernment which can prod those creatures (which could be symbolic of thought forms or held concepts or seated experiences) and shift their weight so the Kundalini can find balance and continue it's progression upwards. on the sphinx's back sits an eagle, symbolic of the shuttle of the spirit, which provides the instreaming inner light which inspires the mind to act.
The mind rests on the platform between on the up-pouring of cosmic energy and the instreaming inner light on a platform that is balanced on the wheel.
These are just my musings naturally and I don't think I've fully fleshed out the connection between the Kundalini and the Wheel of Fortune, but I'd like to share them nonetheless

Quote:49.6[...]We have two types of energy. We are attempting then, as entities in any true color of this octave, to move the meeting place of inner and outer natures further and further along or upward along the energy centers. The two methods of approaching this with sensible method are first, the seating within one’s self of those experiences which are attracted to the entity through the south pole. Each experience will need to be observed, experienced, balanced, accepted, and seated within the individual. As the entity grows in self-acceptance and awareness of catalyst the location of the comfortable seating of these experiences will rise to the new true-color entity. The experience, whatever it may be, will be seated in red ray and considered as to its survival content and so forth.
Each experience will be sequentially understood by the growing and seeking mind/body/spirit complex in terms of survival, then in terms of personal identity, then in terms of social relations, then in terms of universal love, then in terms of how the experience may beget free communication, then in terms of how the experience may be linked to universal energies, and finally in terms of the sacramental nature of each experience.
Meanwhile the Creator lies within. In the north pole the crown is already upon the head and the entity is potentially a god. This energy is brought into being by the humble and trusting acceptance of this energy through meditation and contemplation of the self and of the Creator.
Where these energies meet is where the serpent will have achieved its height. When this uncoiled energy approaches universal love and radiant being the entity is in a state whereby the harvestability of the entity comes nigh.
