Courting the maiden

Transformation of the Mind as I understand it :

Integrating a transformation of the mind, is allowing a new mental configuration to take place. This relates to something/anything in regards to how self interacts with itself and others.

This is done through the previous archetypes of the Mind where the mental configuration fluctuates about it's previous configuration, until it leads all the way up to the transformation where a choice betwixt the light and dark is made within the Mind and integrated as the new configuration. In short, the pathways of the mind are rebuilt.

Meditation has this purpose a lot, some speak of reaching a Gnosis state of mind where you can rebuild your pattern of thoughts by acknowleding them and making choices upon how you desire them. Psychedelic drugs do really help this process a lot, as they put deep into the state of Gnosis and this is why it is so much easier to let go of habits through using them. Example : Steve did shrooms and lost all desire of smoking cigarettes. Steve on the deeper state of mind made the choice that he desires to pay respect to his body and himself.

I see how this describes the mechanics of how the archetype works, but how does this apply anything Ra said about the archetype after the "betwixt the light and dark" choice? It isn't just about creating new pathways in the mind about "anything", it's about abandoning one type of use of the pathways, deliberately. It's about "going forth to court" the resources of others. Ra chose those words for a reason, IMO.

Ra: In this image of Transformation of Mind, then, each of the females points the way it would go, but is not able to move, nor are the two female entities striving to do so. They are at rest. The conscious entity holds both and will turn itself one way or the other or, potentially, backwards and forwards, rocking first one way then the other and not achieving the transformation. In order for the Transformation of Mind to occur, one principle governing the use of the deep mind must be abandoned.


It is to be noted that the triangular shape formed by the shoulders and crossed elbows of consciousness is a shape to be associated with transformation. Indeed, you may see this shape echoed twice more in the image, each echo having its own riches to add to the impact of this complex of concepts.
