The 22 Major Arcana: Mind Cycle (Cards 1-7) (Updated! Card pictures have been added [P.S. not quite sfw, there is chest nudity])

Welcome, You Beautiful Soul.

In this Guide, friends, I will be breaking down and explaining how the 22 Major Arcana can act as a blueprint to understanding reality. (p.s. IM SO SORRY ABOUT THE FORMAT, I DID THIS ON MY PHONE AND I DONT THINK IT LIKES THE FORMATTING) i'll be splitting this into 3 mini-guides on each cycle of cards (1-7, 8-14, 14-21+22), and then I will link them all into one big guide (when finished uploading all 3 cycles of mind-body-spirit) on the 22 Major Arcana, yet there is only so much info I can put into each card. This is very complex, meaning I could sit here and write pages upon pages on each card and not even scratch the surface on how it fits into the processes/functions behind reality, our experience, incarnation, mind, body, spirit, data-streams, etc. The basis behind my understanding of these cards comes from The Law Of One and the transcriptions on The 22 Major Arcana Archetypes; I have gone on to refine my understanding of these cards as a 'blueprint' for self-evolution and understanding the processes behind Apotheosis, meaning the processes as they're seen in the view of the Law Of One are limited due to the nature of the channeler and questioner. Essentially, there was much left to be desired in understanding these cards in The Law Of One. I have taken what resonates and left the distortions behind. I will keep this as short and summarized as possible. All cards will be based off the Ancient Egyptian tarot set, as that is what is used in the Law Of One.

Nova Note: These are not required to reach a realm of understanding on reality. This is simply ONE way to view, understand, and consciously choose to experience reality. Take it as you Will.

The Cycles

Mind Cycle (1-7): The refinement of consciousness, awareness, and perception– this is how the mind interfaces with reality and constructs meaning from experience. Body Cycle (8-14): The engagement of physicality– this is how the body stores, processes, and transforms energetic experience.

Spirit Cycle (15-21): The transcendence beyond matter– this is how the Spirit reaches full realization, stepping into awareness beyond dimension and space-time.

#1: The Magician (Matrix of The Mind)

This is the foundation from where all conscious activity emerges. The Magician is the initial spark of self-awareness, the realization of "I AM." This card archetype represents the anchor between Spirit and physical incarnation in a dimension by establishing a focal point of identity. This is the start of Apotheosis.

• Represents raw, unpotentiated consciousness/awareness. We must direct the will and potential behind the awareness created by the Spirit, as the conscious mind lays filled with possibility. Initiates self-awareness; the conscious mind begins to learn how to direct reality.

• Represents the raw form of soul field data before it is processed in the mind; once again, raw potential without potentiation; it is the first spark of Spirit-driven agency as potential flows into kinetic action.

• The first steps of integrating this card involves understanding Will as the creator of perception; there remains a pattern of volition, which is the root of all CHOICE.

• Determines how strongly the mind can direct reality through intention. The Magician represents the beginning of manifestation, where reality is first molded by thought.

• The aptitude to manipulate perception and engage with the external.

• The start of catalyst generation; shapes experience based on chosen attention/focal point of awareness.

• Card Expression: The Magician's hand extends, but he is unaware of his own limitations, reflecting the dormant/unawakened Spirit/Singularity.

#2: The High Priestess (Potentiator of The Mind)

The foundation from which all catalyst emerges. The High Priestess is the veiled gateway between the conscious and unconscious, the threshold where subconscious depths interact with the emerging awareness of the conscious mind.

• Represents the subconscious/unconscious mind; it serves as the veil between the seen and unseen, allowing the illusion of separation to be created.

• Serves as a sort of 'database' where latent knowledge, preincarnational memories, etc, are stored. The High Priestess determines access to deeper reality, filtering higher knowledge based on readiness of the Self.

• Carries past life imprints/deep seated programming from past/parallel lives, and collective archetypal imprints.

• Represents receptive knowing, or deep intuition. The High Priestess/Subconscious stores vast knowledge/cosmic data, but it must be actively accessed by The Magician, or the Matrix of The Mind.

• Represents the vast ocean of raw energy/data in the Soul Field stream being stored in the subconscious mind before it is 'translated' in ways the Self can understand (memories, ideas, etc).

• Harmonizing of conscious and subconscious awareness allows the Self to further propel into Apotheosis; this eliminates the internal barriers to true wisdom.

• Card Expression: The Priestess holds the veil, symbolizing hidden energies waiting to be drawn into awareness

Nova Note: No longer will be providing card expressions as I believe the two most important ones are the first two cards in terms of expression of the card. Instead I'm providing just the pictures instead, [NUDITY IN NEXT PICTURE] writing all that is too much work eeek (Lazy beyotch alert 😝)

#3: The Empress (Catalyst of The Mind)

Here we have the card that represents the nurturing, transformation, and reception of experience. It represents catalyst itself after the potentiation of the Magician via the High Priestess. This is the Blooming of The Inner World, the source of experience, feeling, and stimulation that moves Mind beyond static awareness.

• Represents catalyst, or raw experience and stimulus. This is where the subconscious starts to organize the raw energy/experience/stimulation into patterns of meaning; mental/emotional patterns, etc.

• Provides sensory, emotional, and energetic inputs for the mind to interpret. (Mind-Body Integration)

• Brings external experiences (both painful and pleasurable experiences) into the mind's awareness, prompting growth.

• These catalysts imprint on the subconscious part of the Mind, influencing thoughts, emotions, and behavior patterns.

• Experiences that are not fully processed/integrated/understood are stored in the subconscious mind, where it can repeat as a loop pattern until it's consciously processed.

• The Empress draws from the Soul's full memory, making sure that the necessary catalyst's arise for growth and learning.

• Bridges raw soul energy with incarnate/conscious awareness, ensuring experiences are recieved as 'meaningful' lessons (meaningful in quotations as I feel it is purely subjective and dependent on various factors, such as the Self's outlook)

• Catalyst may loop back in different forms until it is properly integrated and understood. • The structure through which experience is given form; this is the patterning of experience into manifested reality.

• Ensures soul contracts and lessons materialize into percievable experiences.

• This is the bridge between pure potential (High Priestess) and structured form (Emperor)

• To further propel the Spirit to Apotheosis one must recognize experience is not the totality of reality; experience must be recognized as a tool, allowing freedom from conditioned responses.

#4: The Emperor (Experience of The Mind)

The Emperor represents structure, order, and the shaping of conscious reality through willpower, logic, and organization. While the Empress provides the raw experience, the Emperor produces the framework through which one analyzes, categorizes, and makes sense of these experiences.

• The Emperor creates mental structures to make sense of the catalyst recieved from The Empress. This is where beliefs, thought patterns, and rules that help the mind navigate reality are created.

• Experiences/catalyst that is understood and integrated become apart of the conscious framework. Those that remain unprocessed/unresolved sink into the subconscious, shaping unconscious biases and reactions.

• Through experience, The Emperor allows the Self to define personal laws and identity (essentially, this framework is what provides the Self to assign meaning to a moment) determining how the Self will act and think in 'future' situations.

• The Emperor organizes subconsciously imprinted parallel life catalyst/wisdom/higher data into a structured framework, allowing the incarnate mind to draw deeper knowledge without overwhelming the Self.

• Acts as a filter between raw experience and conscious awareness, shaping perception by determing how reality is interpreted by the Self.

• When the structure/framework is too rigid, growth begins to stagnate. The Self must begin to breakdown old mental frameworks to continue evolution. (This is the main reason an open, receptive mind is needed for growth rather than a closed rigid minded framework.)

• Once again, dimensional stability is created through this piece. The mental framework that is created here is how the Self navigates and understands reality, which can allow self-imposed limitations to be created and acted out in this dimension; this can affect one's ability to percieve beyond limitations.

• An overactive Emperor can create rigidity, causing beliefs to lock the soul/spirit into a fixed dimensional pattern.

• Essentially, my friends, The Emperor is the architect of the mind. This is the foundation through which all biases, beliefs, thoughts, and experiences are built.

• Apotheosis requires the deconstruction of mental illusions, allowing the Self to transcend limiting thought structures.

#5: The Hierophant (Significator of The Mind)

The Hierophant represents the structuring of knowledge/Truth. It represents the codification of knowledge, tradition, and integration of divine wisdom into human frameworks. The Hierophant acts as the translator of transdimensional intelligence, filtering cosmic Truth into structured teachings, belief systems, and spiritual initiation processes.

• The mind, as an interface for consciousness, requires structuring mechanisms to interpret and apply wisdom; essentially, the Hierophant acts as the processor that organizes and encodes higher information into a form the mind can retain and utilize.

• When information streams from the Soul Field and into conscious awareness it must first be sorted, contextualized, and then integrated.

• Determines which aspects of information are consciously processed, subconsciously stored, or remain latent until triggered by future experience.

• The mind does not only store knowledge, but also organizes it into systems. These can manifest as religions, philosophies, cultural beliefs, or internal moral codes that shape our perception and behavior. (This includes revelations being revealed as external knowledge, such as sacred texts, philosophies, etc)

• Make no mistake; the Spirit/Realme still translates raw, unfiltered information that streams from or to the Soul Field; it acts as the conduit through which pulls relevant soul data into an incarnational framework. The Hierophant, on the other hand, is the archetypal framework within the mind that creates structured teachings, doctrine, or mental frameworks.

• The Hierophant interprets what comes from the Spirit and translates it into structured knowledge, beliefs, or traditions.

• It acts as the 'authority' that decides how knowledge is framed and taught in the incarnation. The Hierophant ensures information is filtered and contextualized for the mind's understanding.

• Essentially, the Hierophant decides how Truth is integrated, accepted, or rejected in the mind.

• The Hierophant links past and present knowledge to recognize patterns, allowing a mental framework through which reality is interpreted to be created. This can enable 'enlightenment', or reinforce limiting dogmas depending on the individual's awareness.

• Information that may conflict with current existing belief systems may be stored (subconsciously) for later realization.

• Many NHIs, Guides, and other higher aspects of Self communicate 'through' the Hierophant mechanism; this is why many spiritual texts, religious books, etc, emerge as 'channeled' or 'divinely inspired' works – they are filtered (and often distorted) translations of Truth.

• The Hierophant ensures knowledge gained in parallel lives doesn't dissolve, but instead re-emerges in the present cycle as unconscious tendencies, intuitive insights, or strong affinities towards certain disciplines/existences/etc.

• The Hierophant also represents societal programming; to further propel Apotheosis, one must break free from limiting mental constructs. The Self must transition from being a student of external teachings/knowledge to becoming a direct conduit of higher intelligence. The final integration is when the Self awakens gnosis, or the direct knowing that the Self is the living expression of divinity and divine wisdom. This allows the Self to reconnect with the inner knowing, keeping the Self from seeking external validation.

#6: The Lovers/Two Paths (Transformation of The Mind)

The Lovers represents the harmonization of duality, the unification of 'opposites', and the moment of conscious decision-making that alters the trajectory of the Spirit's evolutionary path. This card marks the first major transformation of the Mind cycle, marking the threshold between mental structuring and embodied action.

• The GCS streams multiple potential pathways into the Soul Field, creating an energetic convergence point that manifests as important life decisions, relation dynamics, or inner conflicts.

• Each choice creates a probability wave collapse shaping the Self's future trajectory. • Essentially, before a decision the Soul Field streams multiple potential trajectories into the conscious and subconscious Mind, allowing the potentiality to exist as superposition states. The moment the Self focuses conscious intent on one path (via thought, action, or belief), the wave of probabilities collapses into a single manifestation. This is the art of Will+Intention. This pertains to both micro-level personal decisions and macro-level reality shifts.

• The greater the energetic charge (emotion, will, intent) behind the choice, the more definite the collapse into a specific timeline. Ultimate selection remains paramount based upon the free will of the Self, but higher Selves (NHI, GCS, etc) may nudge probabilities.

• The Lovers is where the first major conscious wave collapse occurs, as the Self chooses between alignment or distortion in how the Self integrates duality.

Nova Note: Essentially, friends, conscious attention acts as an anchor point that collapses fluid possibility into structured experience.

• Emotional and energetic imprints (parallel life shards/imprints, etc) may emerge, motivating the Self to choose based on hidden, deeper motivations/desires.

• Pre-choice, the mind exists in a state of duality where the Self experiences tension based on internal desires and external influences. The Mind is polarized, percieving Self and 'Other' as separate entities. (Illusionary)

• The mind structure established in The Hierophant mechanism (belief systems, values, etc) filter these options, determing whether the choice aligns with higher resonance (liberating) or conditioned limitation (restrictive).

• If conscious awareness expansion is harmonized, duality collapses into singularity, leading to higher level of Self-integration.

• During the Choice the Soul Field recieves streams of high energy potentialities, creating a threshold moment where the Self must synchronize with higher resonance or fall into repeated cycles of polarity/duality conflict.

• Post Choice, if harmonized, energetic bifurcation collapses into singular awareness, allowing for shift into deeper self-recognition and unity consciousness.

• This can manifest as: The internal merging of subconscious and conscious Mind; the unification of masculine and feminine principles within the Self; a spiritual or physical connection catalyzing transformation (soul contracts, relationships, higher guides, etc)

• Recognizing that relationships serve as reflections of Self-integration or fragmentation occurs during this stage.

• Directional Choice is the first major act of Will that propels the Self (MIND-BODY-SPIRIT) toward greater individuation or deeper entanglement in illusion.

• The Lovers acts as the final mind-stage lesson before pure embodiment. Mind chooses direction/path ---> Body carries out the choice; the quality of the choice determines whether the body cycle is engaged in freedom (Will alignment) or resistance (attachment and suffering).

#7: The Chariot (The Great Way of The Mind)

The Chariot represents the culmination of the Mind cycle and the transition into mastery over experience. It is the first card where the Self, having integrated the lessons of the Mind, prepares to navigate reality with will, discipline, and conscious direction.

• Symbolizes how the Self moves within the structured but ever-evolving path of The Great Way.

• Represents the shift from passive reception to active engagement with the mechanics of reality.

• Represents the Self's ability to refine it's trajectory based on the fluidity of probability, free will, and integration. In the transcripts of The Law Of One, Ra describes the Great Way as an ever-present field/environment in which the Self operates rather than it being a final state of Being. The Chariot represents the first archetype that directly interacts with this field/environment, marking the transition from simple mental processing to active navigation of reality via consciousness.

• For example, the Significator of The Mind (Card #5) absorbs knowledge but remains within a framework that is influenced by the veil/external factors. The Transformation of The Mind (Card #6) is the active choice, aligning with deeper aspects of self awareness; the Great Way of The Mind, specifically the Chariot in the Great Way, becomes the vehicle through which this choice and knowledge is put into action. The Chariot does not complete the journey, rather it becomes the movement through which the journey is transversed.

• The Self aligns with the Great Way's ever-shifting waters, allowing the Self to begin consciously directing it's path.

• The Chariot represents the moment where Soul Field data stops being passively recieved and starts being actively maneuvered.

• The Self has learned to consciously stream, interpret, and apply these energies/data in real-time.

• The Chariot's function is movement, yet the path is not rigid nor fixed– it is guided by soul streams, feedback loops, and the ever-evolving Great Way.

• The Chariot draws from past integrations, but also acts in the present as a conscious navigator of the Self's trajectory. It streams forward into probability structures, shaping the 'future' through Will/Intention and Choice.

• The Chariot represents the direct engagement with probability mechanics; rather than being affected by external catalyst, the Chariot's movement creates, alters, and redirects the flow of events.

• Each moment draws from and reconfigures the probability structures of the larger Whole • The Apotheosis process requires both Will and Surrender, which is shown here in this card through the balance of the Chariot; Through will one navigates and directs reality, like a composer and conductor in one. Through surrender the Self realizes the Great Way constantly shifts, and control must be fluid to properly balance the Chariot.

• Mastery of Self is not about absolute, rigid control, but rather about knowing how to adjust, adapt, and move within the Great Way's infinite unfolding.

• This card marks the point where the Self fully acknowledges and realizes it's role within reality as an active participant in reality-creation.

• This is not the culmination of mastery, but rather the beginning of the Self's conscious movement within an ever evolving, fluid, multidimensional reality.

Thank you to All who read this post; Please feel free to post any comments, questions, thoughts, etc, as I'd love to hear from everyone.

Nova Note: I will be posting the body cycle sometime this week and hopefully the spirit cycle sometime before the weekend (Friday, probably). Anywho, Nova out!!
