thanks for some of the pointers to alternate meanings for hod and netzach anagogy. tbh the idea that hod means submission does make that whole left side seem a tad sts whilst some of the alternate meaning for netzach i found e.g. 'long-suffering, strength, endurance unto completion or patience' gives it a sto vibe. of course i might just be projecting my biases onto the diagram lol which is no doubt the case
when Ra speaks about the tree of life or kaballah they offers it as alternate system for understanding the achetypes much like the 22 major tarot cards. it would seem therefore that you could start to make parrallels between particular tarot cards for example and different interrelationships between sephirot which conveniently it seems correlate to 22. i guess in that sense i might understand yesod and its branching off to the two paths to be akin to an amalgamation of the choice card and the 'transformation of the mind' card which ties it to its meaning of foundation. u could also say things like malkuth being like the matrix of the body or tifert being like the spirit complex or any number of such possibilities etc
what are ur thoughts anaogogy of directly relating the sephirot interrelationships to archetypes like in the tarot?

Quote:76.9 Questioner: Is there, in Ra’s opinion, any present-day value for the reuse of the tarot as an aid in the evolutionary process?
Ra: I am Ra. We shall repeat information. It is appropriate to study one form of constructed and organized distortion of the archetypical mind in depth in order to arrive at the position of being able to become and to experience archetypes at will. You have three basic choices. You may choose astrology, the twelve signs, as you call these portions of your planet’s energy web, and what has been called the ten planets. You may choose the tarot with its twenty-two so-called Major Arcana. You may choose the study of the so-called Tree of Life with its ten Sephiroth and the twenty-two relationships between the stations.
It is well to investigate each discipline, not as a dilettante, but as one who seeks the touchstone, one who wishes to feel the pull of the magnet. One of these studies will be more attractive to the seeker. Let the seeker then investigate the archetypical mind using, basically, one of these three disciplines. After a period of study, the discipline mastered sufficiently, the seeker may then complete the more important step: that is, the moving beyond the written in order to express in an unique fashion its understanding, if you may again pardon the noun, of the archetypical mind.
