Jeremy is once more joined by Steve Tyman to continue their discussion of the mind and body cycles of the tarot images and their relation to the archetypal mind. They begin with a recapitulation of the idea behind concept complexes with an emphasis on the veil’s effect on the operation of the significator. This leads to discussion of the liminal station of transformation and the summarizing/integrating station of the great way, where one can see the reflection of the mind in the body and the delicate resonances of the logoic plan in the archetypal mind. Steve and Jeremy tie back the polarity introduced by the veil between the conscious and unconscious minds which features prominently in understanding the character of transformation and the great way. This sets the stage for tackling the spirit cycle, which we shall address in a future episode in light of the relationships articulated up to this point between the seven stations and the two cycles.

- Ra on transformation or experience stations in other archetypal minds (Session 91, Question 17) Note: I erroneously remembered Ra saying that in earlier octaves, one archetypal system featured either a transformation station or a great way station, but not both. Steve mistakenly agreed with me. In fact, the example Ra described involved one system including catalyst and experience and the other including catalyst and transformation. The error somewhat undermines our brief discussion of the connection between the transformation and great way stations, but not entirely.
