It didn't jump out at me that movement was depicted in the card. Is it because in Ra's tarot the platform upon which everything sit has four wheels on it? Even with the wheels, how do we know it's moving? I wonder if it has something to do with the fan. Maybe that fan shaped object is not really a fan, but some type of propulsion device, for it is a bit weird looking as a fan and is bending forward unlike a fan.
and so we arrive at Card 8, which is the Matrix of the Body. It begins a new cycle of 7.
this is all that Ra says specifically about this card:
"In the body the matrix may be seen as Balanced Working or Even Functioning. Note that here the matrix is always active with no means of being inactive."
....
I googled about the meaning of fan in ancient Egypt, the answers seem indicate fan represent air, being active, thus life, and life giving. Maybe that's the basis for Ra's statement about "no means of being inactive"...
The reason why Ra says the matrix is always active with no means of being inactive simply means (to my understanding) that it always is creating and recreating.
The mental complex or the matrix of the mind is consciousness, self awareness that objective mind that draws identifications, stories, etc from one experience to the next and there is no means to becoming inactive as consciousness cannot be inactive as it is infinite. The matrix of the body is the same and what is done on a physical level within our bodies is also done metaphysically and from plane to plane as we have many bodies and subtle bodies as does this apply to the matrix of the spirit which the spirit resides with us now though maybe not realized and it resides with our many bodies and into infinity. This is Life, eternal Life; all three complexes. And this is one reason Ra refers to these as complexes (mind complex, body complex and spirit complex).
