Great Way of the Spirit

[unity100]

XXI. The Universe



The bottom of this card has me thinking a lot. The female is playing a harp, and this harp has the head of a man. The top most portion of the card shows us the realization of the Great Way, or as the Ra Material puts it, contact with Intelligent Infinity. Ra also says the use of intelligent energy.
The dove is surrounded by the shape of a square of the Holy Living Creatures and a circle of flowers. The flowers are similar to the Significator of Spirit, the Sun. Which has a connection to the Great Way.
Maybe it’s just me, but I see a square shape, so it suggests to me that the great way is realized within the material illusion but the dove is surrounded by a circle, which is magical and suggests time/space.

My rough interpretation is that the female depicts the body and the male the mind. The body and mind work in harmony which allows for the realization of the great way of spirit, contact with intelligent Infinity. The Universe is open to the seeker.

I'd say thats a pretty insightful interpretation.

I’m not entirely sure though. That’s what I’m having trouble with, what exactly do the male and female correspond to? It doesn’t make sense that the body plays the mind. It’s the other way around. So then maybe I’m not understanding what the figures are intended to represent.

There’s very little material to go on with the archetypes of Body and easpecially spirit in the Ra Material. Ra left that to be worked out by ourselves.

Seeing the female as the subconscious, female and the harp as conscious, male, could be more productive.
