Card #3: The Empress – Catalyst of the Mind
Source: Law of One book 4
This is the first archetype after the veiling process
Observation:
This archetype indicates one of the primary objective of the logos is to create possible polarity.
The abiding sun and stars shine in protection over all catalyst available.
The not-white and not-dark square upon which the empress sits on express polarity of opportunities offered
The empress sits on those squares and shows her face on one side, meaning she doesn’t meet opportunities straight on but glances on one side or another.
The image also suggests the opportunities lying on her left-hand part (service-to-self) and this is the nature of the catalyst of the Mind.
The empress standing on an unstable platform indicates she could sway to either direction – her right side or left side.
After the veiling process, which is the entity having made contact with its potentiated self, the entity begins its flight towards the great logos. (This is showed by the ready for flying bird image; The position of the bird’s wings indicates the polarized path.)
The nature of the catalyst is overwhelmingly an unconsciousness, coming not from the mind and having no connection with intellect.
Only those catalysts used consciously by the mind are useful to the entity.
The archetype for the Catalyst of the Mind is the Logos’s model for its most efficient plan for the activity or use of the catalyst of the mind.
In the archetypical mind, one has the resource of the blueprint/ architecture of the nature of evolution.
The ball atop the wand implied the sphere of spiritual power, indicating each opportunity is with the most extravagant magical possibilities for the most far-seeing adept.
The transparentness of the clothing suggests that the nature of the catalyst is of an unconscious and outward catalyst coming through the veil.
The serpents that adorn the head of the entity suggest the serpent is powerful magically. In the positive sense, the serpent will appear at the indigo-ray site; In the negative sense, the serpent is at the solar plexus center
The serpent in that period of the culture indicates the kundalini/feminine energy coiled at the bottom of the spine.
The crux ansata is a part of the concept complexes of the archetypical mind. The circle indicates the magic of the spirit, and the cross indicates the nature of manifestation which may only be valued by the losing. Thus the crux ansata is intended to be seen as an image of the eternal in and through manifestation and beyond manifestation, through the sacrifice and the transformation of the manifestation.
