In the Lovers card, the three players stand atop a triangle which represents the divergence of the "two paths", the fork in the railway. The man must let go of one of the hands of the females so that he is able to move forward, i.e. activate his Chariot, "One may also see the Way of the Mind as showing the kingdom or fruits of appropriate travel through the mind in that the mind continues to move as majestically through the material it conceives of as a chariot drawn by royal lions or steeds."
The Chariot is the "fruits of appropriate travel through the mind" i.e. proper, dedicated courting to whichever maiden you choose after proper distillation of catalyst/experience. If you choose the STO maiden, you are activating your Great Way in service to others, and your day-to-day is basically effortless for a time, because the mind "move[s] as majestically through the material it conceives of as a chariot drawn by royal lions or steeds." If you choose the STS maiden, you will be presented with an more-or-less effortless experience involving moving you closer to being polarized negatively, and continue to see others are resources for your pleasure.
The best way I can conceptualize/describe the "Great Way" is when you feel you have "done something right" and things are "activated" for a while. To "activate" the great way, one must use the transformation. This happens slowly, unconsciously, but can happen at lightning speed when one is consciously using the catalyst. But you can't make any movement forward until you release one of the hands of the maidens, abandoning any attachment to the other path. So you're either riding majestically on the love for other selves, or you're riding majestically upon the power to use the other selves.
The "steeds" have one bended knee, which Ra says shows that there are times when the Great Way is "resting" and times when it is active. I think the STS path is going to be more about forcing a transformation to activate the Great Way and the STO path is about allowing a transformation to take place. The veil is lifted more thoroughly on the right side, showing the "great treasures of the protracted courtship" and "That which is magical in the negative experience is much longer coming, shall we say, in the third density."
