Alchemy of the Soul
We live in times of great crises, a turning point or liminal space in the evolution of our planet, civilization and species. Caught in the cyclical tides of time, birth, death and rebirth. We are on the edge of the known and unknown and this is the only place that new knowing can come from. Consciousness is at the root of this global challenge and our current patterns of beliefs, values decisions and actions in the world are what will shape our destiny individually and collectively. Affecting not only the physical realm all around us but our physical and subtle energetic bodies. This is a time of identity based conflict, people seeking identity outside of themselves, Identifying or attaching to one external group or another instead of the truth. All of this fueled by the programmed algorithms of extreme polarities via the multitudes of media platforms that steal our awareness away from the here and now, distracted and disillusioned to reality. Instead of each individual experiencing within themselves the source of their own good. Realizing the truth beyond good and evil, the dualistic, beyond light and dark, beyond fight or flight, beyond truth and falsehood, beyond life and death. It is time for a reconnection and celebration of the Soul. Death of the old is a necessary element in any transformation so that it may give birth to the new. Growth is a revelation of potential rather than a creation of potential.
Our primary focus must now be the universal primacy of the consciousness and to free the human mind from outdated mindsets, self centered attitudes, manipulative lies and the materialistic values that are causing increasing density and polarity within the dualistic and 3D realms we currently operate within. The physical world is more like a condensation of consciousness. How do each of us contribute to this density of the collective conscious? An awareness to how we contribute to this factor is desperately needed if we are to shape the next epoch in a manner that not only ensures our survival but rather to begin a conscious revolution where we each direct our energy in a conscious way. It is through the consequences of Self illusion that suffering, pain and loss endure.
“You still have to learn this, to succumb to no temptation, but to do everything of your free will; then you will be free.”
~C.G. Jung
The sacrament of psychedelic plants, Plant medicines, Dream plants Breathwork and countless others to access the realms of non physical realities can spark that fire, that heat that is part of our own alchemical elixir that begins a process to maximize all of our potential and unlock our own boundless potentiality, inner wisdom and good. Unlocking and reconnecting each of us to the spirit within. The process that begins within also begins unfolding all around us in our mundane life, almost as though an energetic tether has been established between our inner world and outer world. Better expressed by the Greek Hermes Trismegistus, Thrice born or Egyptian Thoth;
“ As within, so without, as above, so below, as the universe, so the soul.”
Plant medicines combined with disciplined practices, humility, reverence and will is just one of the streams leading to the individual and collective spirit and soul. Archetypes or the original forms of everything we have ever done which we have imprinted upon the universe are readily available in these altered spaces that we are now re-learning to explore and consciously navigate. This is the living story that does not end, the story of the cosmos. We can access this and bring unconscious material up into the consciousness by navigating this stream and others. No longer is the psychedelic experience something that just happens to us, it’s now an experience to directly engage. The Ceremonial use of ancient plant medicines exponentially amplifies the nature of the plant.
The Hermetic Principle of Cause and Effect
“Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause; everything happens according to the law; chance is but a name for law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the law.
~The Kybalion~
Man shares with creation an immediate participation in the creator. Mankind as a vessel or vehicle through which spirit can work through. This requires us or the (I) to get out of the way, removing self sabotage behaviors and patterns both individually and collectively. The countless alchemical writings, glyphs and hidden symbols carried by the eternal currents of streams of knowledge, hidden in plain site by almost all religious text all speak to this inner work, the work of the Philosophers Stone, Transmuting lead into gold. The lead in this case being the rough outer shell of the stone, our more animalistic nature of which can be brought to our awareness and refined/transmuted or alchemized into gold or Christos, a pure consciousness. This process of re - membering, to reassemble the members back to the whole, unlocks access to our higher true self, and wisdom that we carry with us lifetime to lifetime.
The practice of experiencing god or source, call it what you will, through our own experiences by various modalities has been practiced and recorded since we learned to write and make symbols on cave walls. When this is combined with the ability to extract the wisdom from our experiences to nourish our psyche, we can begin our own integration process into the new limitless epoch that awaits us, consciously shaping and refining this new era. The message transmitted within the Piscine age was the beginning of our understanding of this teaching, the work of the Philosopher’s Stone was completely lost and hidden within the power structures of the dogmatic religious institutes we all know well. The solutions to the errors of the old system may be better found in the open space between the words and the mind. In that space of deafening silence. The place beyond thought and the mind. The space that Pythagorus, Tesla, Einstein, Paracelsus and many countless others write about. The place beyond thought and the limited language structure. When the noise falls away the signal becomes much clearer.
Now, more than ever, it is important for each of us to reconnect with our inner guide or intuition and to listen and see with the ears and eyes of the conscious rather than only that of the five physical senses. This current time between the old crumbling system and the new world to be created offers an immense opportunity for us all to partake in. What world will we build? Will we learn from the failures of the past and use them along the journey upward for the good of ourselves and others or will we succumb to the resistances of the old programs within and without. of systems old? The way forward and the knowledge needed is there for us all if we have the eyes to see and the ears to hear it.
We are light beings at our most fundamental levels. We have been given a gift as we transition from one epoch to the next, an opportunity, this gift that is being showcased is the extreme polarities of our dualistic world that we have all created up to this point. Each of us has taken part in the creation of it and continue to take part in it due to varying levels of conditioning, some of us in deeper ways than others. This opportunity has been cosmically placed at our feet for us all to see and begin the work of evolving our conscious awareness and capabilities as individuals, collectively and as part of the evolution of the entire cosmic organism that each of us hold important places within.
