Yes, and that's creation. I think what you're saying is that we step forward in order to remember as we work 'backwards' towards the creator. That's true and is a big part of how the octave actually functions, but I would suggest that the creator from the beginning wasn't all-knowing. It was simply awareness, which led to the first three distortions, and then infinite progression. Infinity implies that there is always something new available to experience. So the creator is of course always in the process of discovery, which is what the choice represents.
I think the choice represents more than faith, as Ra says it's only one aspect of it, and that it is the unifying archetype. The desire to know, the creative principle. It's the first distortion..free will. I think the choice also represents those aspects. It is the foundation which brought infinity out of its eternal sleep. If there was no calling of the spirit, no creative principle, it would have never came into being. Which is probably why the choice is paired with the significator.
The creative principle is all there is, its significance is the most meaningful. The spark to move and act. The creative principle in motion..use of the first distortion, will. There is no future. We create it. There is only the present. Don't think (hope), act! Always. You see? Step forward. Continuously be a creator. Become ingrained in the present.
We have to remove hope from our mindset. Actualize what you would like to see. Use your free will.
Consequently, I also think it's interesting to consider 28.15 - "However, it has been impressed upon us by our own teachers that there is a mystery-clad unity of creation in which all consciousness periodically coalesces and again begins. Thus we can only say we assume an infinite progression though we understand it to be cyclical in nature and, as we have said, clad in mystery."
The negative polarity is absorptive. There seems to be an aspect of the creator that wants to remain unconscious, which is what motivates the negative polarity. It's understandable that the unity of creation wouldn't want to be conscious eternally, so its unconscious desire causes coalescence and then comes into being for ever more new experiences.
