In this training session for newer instruments, the entity Laitos explores the concept of both individual and collective sovereignty as it relates to the spiritual journey and the evolution of consciousness. Laitos discusses how sovereignty is a recognition of one’s power and the ability to respect others’ personal domains, which is especially relevant in the face of the challenges posed by Earth’s economic and political systems, emphasizing the role of the heart in connecting individuals and understanding the blend of personal and collective sovereignty. They suggest sovereignty is not a solitary endeavor but a collective one, where shared experiences and empathy can strengthen both individual and communal sovereignty. The concept of dignity is highlighted as a key aspect of sovereignty, suggesting that recognizing dignity in others can transform sovereignty from a defensive stance to a basis for unity.

Q’uo on the Matrix, Potentiator, and Significator of Spirit
Q’uo focuses here on those archetypes of Matrix, Potentiator, and Significator as they relate to work within the spirit complex. Dwelling upon the intense nature of seeking in this domain, they emphasize the importance of polarity and the need for the seeker to have firmly established their orientation towards service-to-others or service-to-self before venturing into the work of Spirit. After discussing the functional and affective aspects of the three stations of the Spirit cycle of archetypes, those of Q’uo affirm both the difficulty of the work in spirit and the profound joy and reward it offers to those who persevere. Before concluding, they entertain questions stemming from the abjectly daunting nature of the spirit complex Q’uo has described.
Q’uo on Catalyst and Experience
In this session, Q’uo explores the archetypal stations of catalyst and experience as they are encountered in daily life, emphasizing a model of projection and reflection that imbues waking life with the veiled messages of the deep mind. Addressing these two stations of the tarot across mind, body, and spirit, their commentary largely centers on how to profitably think about the operation of catalysis and how to recognize the signs of its grounding, balancing, and integration. Q’uo the follows up on their monologue to address this subject in light of working with dreams and the possibility of catalyst becoming diminished or less obnoxious, in both cases suggesting attitudes with which the mind/body/spirit complex’s extant approaches and processes may be cooperated with more deeply.
Q’uo on the Ego
In this short training session from a new instrument, those of Q’uo explore the originating logic of the ego and how it is eventually dissolved. The ego is a construct we build as an alternative to realizing our complete natures, and as we spiritually mature we are able to slowly release the stories that frame this ego construct one by one. Q’uo emphasizes the role of compassion towards the self in this releasing and acceptance of the uselessness of the ego’s many protections of the self.
Q’uo on the Matrix and Potentiator of the Body and Healing
Q’uo describes healing as a dynamic interplay between the body’s signals of imbalance and the wisdom to make effective choices for restoration. The matrix of the body, representing balance, and the potentiator of the body, associated with wisdom, guide this process. Healing involves observing and responding to these signals with consistent attention, aligning with the body’s natural rhythms to maintain wellness.
Q’uo on Catalyst and Experience of Body and Healing
Q’uo discusses the archetypal mind’s influence on healing, urging listeners to discern their own truths from the shared insights. They liken life’s challenges to a relentless Wheel of Fortune, where the body experiences and absorbs various catalysts. Drawing an analogy to homeopathy, Q’uo suggests that healing can come from small doses of what might otherwise harm, indicating that challenges often contain their own remedies. By reflecting on and integrating these experiences, one can learn and grow, embodying the enchantress who calmly directs the lion. Q’uo advocates for gratitude towards the body and life’s catalysts, as they are essential for progress and enriching the soul’s journey back to the Creator.
Q’uo on the Significator of Body
In this discourse on the significator of body archetype, Q’uo examines the delicate balance involved in both responsibly caring for the body while pushing it beyond its comfort zone in search of spiritual growth. They present the body as a crucible for change whose value arises from its impermanence, a more fixed and temporally bounded quality when contrasted with the natures of mind and spirit. The body requires a balance between respectful and sacrificial use, and Q’uo ties in some of the symbols in the tarot’s hanged man image to speak to these nuances. They note how deeply polarity is involved even in embodiment, inviting a renewed appreciation for the body’s irreplaceable role in spiritual evolution.
Q’uo on Witnessing Planetary Sorrow
In this session, those of Q’uo delve into the nature of our moral agency and the powerful institutions that effect our convenient lives in late stage third density civilization. They address how we, as individuals, can navigate and relate to a world rife with exploitation and negativity—-a world that paradoxically provides the leisure necessary for inward spiritual seeking. They challenge the listener to witness planetary sorrow not as passive bystanders but as active participants in a shared journey towards social memory.
Q’uo on Aversion to the Exercise of Will
Here Q’uo addresses the frustrated experience of feeling aversion towards exercising one’s will to act in accordance with one’s presumed identity. They suggest in this session that our desires and the universe’s response to them are part of a dynamic relationship which discloses to us our own nature. The veiling effect hampers this disclosure from being clearly recognized, leaving us struggling to reconcile our assumed responsibilities and the past choices that lead to them with our present desires. This is but another facet of the eternal question of how to assert ourselves when doing so cannot help but uncover the unknowns of our own nature. Q’uo locates the friction of aversion here in this question of identity and urges an acceptance of the self’s role in the Creator’s project of self-discovery.
