Steve Tyman joins Jeremy for the first of a series of conversations on the twenty-two archetypes that provide a tool for working with the archetypal mind. In this episode they focus on the first five stations of the mind and body cycles: matrix, potentiator, catalyst, experience, and significator. Starting with a re-introduction to the very idea of what an archetype is, they discuss some aspects of these ten archetypes as well as what is meant by "mind" and "body" specifically, with some digressions into the nature of time/space as contrasted to space/time. The other archetypes—the spirit cycle as well as the transformation and great way stations of mind and body—will be discussed in future episodes.Consider watching this on YouTube where the archetype images are spliced in to help the listener grasp the connections.Show NotesEpisode 16: An Introduction to the Archetypal Mind (inaudible podcast)The major arcana images from the Egyptian Tarot (thirddensity.com)Ra on the sevenfold nature of energy centers, densities, and archetypes (Session 78, Question 30)Q'uo on the Matrix, Potentiator, and Significator (August 1, 2021)Ra on the male and female concepts in the archetypes (Session 92, Question 20)Ra on the polarized interpretation of catalyst (Session 94, Question 12)Ra's supermarket example (Session 33, Question 8)Ra on the unconscious perception of catalyst (Session 93, Question 20)Ra on the matrix and potentiator of body (Session 78, Question 11)Yom on the material illusion as an unbiased field of experience (April 23, 1989)

What is addiction, and how does it interact with spiritual evolution? Nithin and Jeremy explore this topic in light of its prevalence and variety in late third density society, bringing in a number of Confederation sources for insight into addiction's relationship with catalyst, desire, comfort, the sinkhole of indifference, and other concepts of interest to the seeker. They also address the psychology in light of the shallow emptiness of the modern "rat race" while also recognizing the catalytic, transformative promise inherent in the suffering that addiction represents.Show Notes Ra on polarized uses of anger (Session 46, Question 9)Hatonn on addiction to the joy of being whole (February 13, 1983)Q'uo on addiction as catalyst (January 7, 2017)Ra on polarized sexual energy transfers (Session 32, Question 2)Ra on overcoming (Session 18, Question 5)David Foster Wallace on worship (Kenyon College Graduating Class of 2005 Commencement Speech)

Responding to the proliferation of warfare on the planet recently, Nithin and Jeremy analyze a post-9/11 Q’uo session discussing bellicosity and peace. The principle addresses several biological, cultural, spiritual, and philosophical factors that make not just our people but past third density populations in our system so warlike while also suggesting an appreciation for war’s intense potential for catalysis. Those of Q’uo direct us to look within at our own attitudes and quality of seeking so that we can discover not just the ideal of peace but how to live it and thereby radiate it to the entire planet. It is this personal commitment to unconditional peace and the sacrifices it may entail that help us confront the spiritual root causes of conflict.Happy Thanksgiving! Show NotesQ’uo on conflict and peace (November 18, 2001)Ra on toolmaking and bellicosity (Session 90, Question 18)Q’uo on the shadow self and the authoritarian personality (June 17, 2023)Q’uo on personality and the subconscious use of will (November 4, 2023)Ra on the "Lovers" / Transformation of Mind archetype (Session 100, Question 6)Hatonn on their late third density experience (November 16, 1980) Ra on the catalyst of trauma (Session 34, Question 14)Jesus on entering the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 19:20)Q'uo on peace (December 21, 2003)

Dr. Stephen Tyman joins Jeremy for a conversation about the problem of evil and its relationship to the Confederation's concept of polarized seeking. Steve gives an introduction to how evil has been historically regarded, ranging from a notion of evil as a mere absence of good to the idea of evil as a positive value diametrically opposed to good. They analyze the character and recognizable traits of service-to-self other selves in psychological, spiritual, political, and philosophical aspects, including how service-to-others seekers might relate to those of the opposite polarity.Apologies for the diminished audio quality.

After a few thoughts on how seekers think about careers, Nithin and Jeremy discuss the nature and function of intuition and how it relates to other aspects of mind. They delve into a 1986 Laleema transcript that addresses intuition and intellectual analysis, comparing them to listening and speaking, respectively. Both are required, and only the balance between the two can help one to reach the true goal: the Creator. It is in incarnation that we get the mixture right because our lessons become firmly grounded in the lasting consequence of making one choice rather than another. Intellectual analysis in particular can help one discern which intuitions are genuine insight and which are expressions of imbalanced emotions; even skepticism and doubt can serve the discovery of genuine faith. This faith, coupled with will, constitute the heart of seeking, Laleema says, allowing us to discover resources beyond ourselves bringing to fruition our recovery of our true identity as the Creator.Show NotesLaleema on intuition and analysis (May 18, 1986)David Goggins (davidgoggins.com)Discussion on intuition and desire (Bring4th Forum)Ra on mind and intuition (Session 30, Question 2)Ra on implicit but unrecognized polarity before the veil (Session 93, Question 5)&nbsp;Ra on the Creator experiencing itself (Session 82, Question 10)Ra on the function of intuition (Session 49, Question 4)Auxhall on stories of the mind versus intuition (March 12, 2023)Q'uo on emotion and intuition (November 26, 1989)Hatonn on faith and patience (April 23, 2023)Q'uo on the extension of free will past the mover/moved polarity (May 18, 2022)Ra on all being well despite negative time/space displacement (Session 69, Question 11)Ra on balancing by accentuating imbalance (Session 104, Question 2)&nbsp;Q'uo on the significance of individuality (June 19, 2023)Living out will and faith in our daily lives (The Building 4th Podcast,&nbsp;Part 1&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://building4thpodcast.podbean.com/e/living-out-will-and-faith-in-our-daily-lives-part-2/" rel="noopener noreferrer"...

On this very special fiftieth episode, we have assembled the High Altitude Receiving Center (HARC) Circle, the current channeling body of the Other Selves Working Group , for a conversation on the nature, purpose, and frontiers of channeling in the tradition of the Confederation of Planets in Service to the One Infinite Creator. Nithin and Jeremy welcome founding Working Group member and senior HARC Circle channel Dr. Stephen Tyman to discuss channeling and the recent Fourth Channeling Intensive they participated in.In this wide ranging discussion, the three instruments discuss the concepts of channeling and tuning consciousness from the ground up. Steve details the concerns that go into the preparation and dedication of the self to serve as an instrument in a safe, protected, and spiritually salutary manner, not denying the pitfalls and increased catalyst. They talk about some of the practices and approaches they use in their circle, including how they think about the instrument's responsibility and role in the messaging. The recently released eleven channeling sessions recorded in June at the Fourth Channeling Intensive are also addressed along with the finer points of these channeling experiences and where the project may go from here.Show NotesCurriculum Vita of Stephen Tyman (Southern Illinois University)The Other Selves Working Group Fourth Channeling Intensive (High Altitude Receiving Center)Q'uo on accelerated catalyst (August 2, 2021)Q'uo on everything being fine / all is well (May 19, 2022)Ra on the duration of densities (Session 77, Question 17)Laitos on Planet Earth as the unconscious of the social memory complex (July 31, 2021)Ra on instruments reserving energy ahead of contact (Session 44, Question 8)

Nithin and Jeremy discuss a 1999 Q'uo session discussing the individual self and its characteristics. We are constantly balancing between our spiritual center and this bag of biases, behaviors, and details we call our personality. As we continue to seek and grow, it is typical to feel like we're living dual lives: a spiritual one and a "normal" one. Essentially, those of Q'uo explain that incarnation is an attempt to bring those two lives into one coherent expression of love and service through navigating the distortions inherent in manifestation.In the imperfect curation of our total selves into a socially and personally acceptable personality, we work to accept as well as release many aspects we accrete to this self. In the present moment, we understand better our true nature as infinite, free, and secure without relying on the artifice of ego or the reductive power of intellect. We then can better appreciate the distortions of evolution in all their variety, providing one sensory organ for the Creator's infinite exploration of itself through our unique, individual self.Show NotesQ'uo on our true nature (May 23, 1999)Ra on infinity and the self (Session 1, Question 7)Hatonn on accretion and release of elements of self (May 1, 1983)Hatonn on power, polarity, and evolution (Aug 9 1978)Ra on the center to infinity (Session 82, Question 7)Ra on spontaneous expression (Session 41, Question 19)Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now (Eckhart Teachings)Q'uo on details (April 6, 2003): "That which distracts is always a detail, that which calls you back to remembrance is always discipline."Ra on negativity of details (Session 26, Question 36)

On this episode, Jeremy discusses dreams and dreamwork with Jamie Liestman, long time seeker in the Law of One tradition who presented on the subject at the Working Group's April membership meeting. Drawing from contacts with Q'uo and Ra, they explore the purpose and use of dreams in polarization and the discipline of the personality, examining Confederation insight into the sometimes misunderstood role of emotional resonance in this time/space aspect of consciousness. Several techniques for working more compassionately and authentically with dreams are addressed, and this prompts some subtle but profound changes in how we think about the mind and consciousness.Show NotesRa on the nature of dreams (Session 86)Charlie Morley (Website)Ra on the role of veiling in dreams (Session 83, Question 3)Q'uo on working with dreams (April 12, 1989)Quo on dreams as the seeding of new thought patterns (March 27, 1988)Ra on the vocabulary of dreams (Session 95, Question 18)Jamie's talk on dreamwork (The Other Selves Working Group Youtube channel)

Nithin joins Jeremy to discuss an oft overlooked concept in Confederation philosophy: what those of Ra described as the "sinkhole of indifference" between service-to-others and service-to-self. The issue is not simply the lack of choice on how to express one's love and thereby continue evolving through the densities, but more tragically how refusing to make a heartfelt choices creates a feedback loop that keeps a person seeking comfort, sleep, and stasis. How does one succeed in not succumbing to the pressure exerted by society without polarizing negatively? The pair breakdown the nuances of polarity and speculate on the nature of the sinkhole and the opportunities to serve those trapped by fear and the inability to commit to love.Many heartfelt thanks to listener Reinhard for suggesting the topic!
