Detriment and exaltation : the only regret Ra had regarding names in the system

“I mean for me, and I mentioned this many times to students of mine over the years, that in essence, the only mistake in naming that I’ve had in my experiences in HD was putting these terms “exalted” and “detriment” to the lines themselves.

Actually, the exalted and detriment were there to describe the planetary force in that aspect of the thematic. But of course, it has taken on another quality over the years through interpretation because the not-self easily will interpret exaltation as being good and detriment as being bad. Rather than seeing that there is a planetary force that will bring out, in that specific place that quality, as an identified quality.

Everything about having an exaltation, you know this is again, I would have been happy to have called it “this” and “that”, but nonetheless, you have an exaltation in your design, the assumption is that you know you really have something special there. You know you’re only getting ‘the best part’. But it’s not true.

See for me, the Rave I‘Ching was written for the not-self. There was nobody else in front of me in those years, when I first began. It’s all written for the not-self. The lines themselves express the not-self life. It is the mechanism of life. And yet for each and anyone of us, it is an extraordinary opportunity to go beyond the this and the that, to embrace the Juxtaposition, to find the wholeness. And to find the wholeness by allowing the wholeness simply to display itself. It is the beauty of passenger’s consciousness, to get to that place where one simply sits back and allows the vehicle to operate correctly and move you through a geometry that allows you to fulfill the potential of your imprint. Your incarnation, your unique contribution, to the vitality of the biverse.”
