Alchemical Transmutation; p1-Allegory/Symbol/Myth

Foreign Doctrines they’ve been mysterious to mankind except for the select few for as long as we’ve been recording history we can trace the origins of alchemy so to speak back to Egypt but it seems as if this is an archetype that is quite a bit older than we might suspect there’ll be

No reasons for me here to get into the history and the black and white facts about alchemical transmutation because those those are things you can look up anywhere online or get yourself a book but what I would like to do is talk about what is not talked about making

These connections I would like to express how I feel alchemical transmutation can practically work within this world and within your life how can we apply the concepts of me to ourselves knowing that the alchemical process of turning base Metals into gold is a metaphor that represents turning an

Unfortunate situation into profit or a mundane state of being into a form of thriving so right off the bat with Alchemy we know that the language of it is not literal but in fact symbolic and in many cases allegorical to say that the first rule of alchemy goes as such

Man cannot gain anything without first giving something in return to obtain something of equal value something of equal value must be lost that is alchemy’s first law of equivalence exchange so let’s keep that in mind later as we dive into the practicalities of transmutation the four pillars of

Alchemy seem to be philosophy astronomy Alchemy and virtue the last of which virtue is not only the most important but should actually reside within the Alchemist from the time of his Awakening his transmutation that is to death and that is the only way to solidify his work is to maintain that virtue

Throughout his entire career until he dies symbols reuse throughout time and prehistory speak not to our conscious thinking mind but to our primordial self the driving factor of all human beings after all the definition of using language is strictly attuned to Something’s limitations within within nature to name something is to negate it

To our finite aspect of perception symbols like the oroboros seem to represent infinity or Cycles to me the cross seems to symbolize the adjacent factors of action and righteousness the arms a hand the Eye of Horus the All-Seeing Eye within the triangle or pyramid the idea of human forms with

Animal heads all the way back to sacred geometry and sigils they are meant to represent a concept within the context of their teaching they have different meanings to each viewer and change and evolve in meaning per teaching and according to where the student is in his path and relevant to the doctrine in

Which it resides the alchemical symbol of lead being tormented into gold by sulfur is a perfect example of something that is too complex or personal to be spoken outright just by witnessing the symbol though in this symbology a part of the self is triggered it begins to learn something about itself and its

Place within the world old stories and legends or myths exhibit the same concept instead of taking a myth as a story that literally happened imagine it as part of yourself your own psychological characters at work stories like the sword of Excalibur the tale of Cain and Abel the Knights of Camelot

Searching for the Holy Grail the Temptation Of The Garden of Eden the birth of the original Buddha the crucifixion of Jesus Christ the list goes on in one of those particular myths for example the Knights of Camelot in their search for the Holy Grail there is

A a gem of wisdom beneath the surface of the story that it pursues the idea of Darkness leading into light the king orders his Knights to find the darkest portion of the forest outside of the castle walls far away from the Comforts of shelter each night finds their own

Path of the forest that to them seems to be the darkest and searches that place for the Grail when they return there are multiple holy Grails that have been found by the knights and brought to the king the perfect metaphor symbolizes the practice of looking within to the parts

Of our mind that we don’t find pleasing becoming comfortable with Those portions of our mind and thus finding a deeper truth than we could have thought possible by seeking pleasures and comfort we then take what we have learned and turn it over to a higher power of sorts that composes a membrane

Of nature to the newest and highest standards achieved by the Seeker while in the dark these stories are meant to excite the purpose specific to our own lives think of the characters as aspects of your own psychological elements and opposing forces we learn from the stories and symbols through a collected

Consciousness they’re not merely for entertainment purposes but also to shake loose parts of the specific Persona through them we can gain a vision of what all human beings go through as a collective unit for example in Hindu texts there can be a lot of confusion

Because there seems to be a lot of gods and once we kind of realize that as opposed to being creators of all as we seem to depict God’s ass they were more uh personifications of ideas the Brahma a precursor of Shiva has four faces representing the four cardinal

Directions Brahma is sitting on a Lotus sprouting from the navel of Vishnu and dreams of realities we that is our world are within the dreams of the Brahma when he ceases dreaming we cease to exist creating another great cycle of death and rebirth the parable here can be

Interpreted in many different ways I can’t help but think of our technological age this sounds a lot like turning on a computer using its software to create letting what come to fruit exporting the work and then turning off the computer there’s a cycle there could there be a connection at all between

What was just described and this story of Vishnu and Brahma my these old stories describe our own source of reality in ways that we can understand in our cultures unique time and understanding with the limited animal brain that we have this idea Bears the fruit of a concept with a matrix of

Reality or an accidental reality as created by the the Gnostic dummy urge but scientists today are even speculating that we may live in some sort of simulation this could be what the Hindu creation story is hint again there’s creation stories of all ages and all parts of the world that have quite

Similar themes the image of the serpent Rings loud in every culture throughout time and in different ways one of the most widespread versions of the symbol of the serpent is the idea of overcoming fear to this day our Collective mind is programmed to fear snakes is this just

Because they look strange and have teeth or is there maybe more to this if we go back as far as humans can possibly go in our Evolution on Earth there is one thing we have always encountered the servant think about the Predators we faced in more Primal times large cats

Birds of prey deep sea animals crocodiles if you want to escape the feline you go into the water if you want to escape the crocodile you can climb into a tree if you seek to escape the piousa or the giant Birds of Prey you

Can go into a cave but in none of these places of Refuge can you hide from the serpent it’ll be there so the only way to overcome this threat is to face it head-on we would have to protect ourselves and our young from these Eaters of men and although large cats

Are absolutely killing machines in every case the prey must flee except for in the case of the serpent he is there waiting for you you are now obligated to fight so it’s really no wonder that there are so many myths that involve going through the serpent or slaying the

Dragon there are Tales of men who must climb a tower to get beautiful Maiden but there is a dragon guarding the only way up there are Tales of seeking hidden treasure in the back of a cave which is guarded of course by some form of a serpent and both the

Tower and the cave allegories there’s no way around the snake you cannot tiptoe past it you cannot slip in the back undetected you are in a way destined to slay the dragon think for a moment about what it is in in your world that that can be represented by this serpent now

Think what is your treasure behind it what is your sword to slay the dragon we can use these myths as learning devices about ourselves our place and our purpose in the world the serpent also appears a likeness to All Things temporary the snake like the alchemical

Symbol of the waning moon sheds its skin and is renewed everything in our physical world is temporary but lit up by a life force of some kind and that is the only thing that is permanent the snake leaves the skin behind and transforms through the light that can be symbolized by the reflection

Of the light of the Sun that makes the cycles of the Moon possible therefore representing that that main product that life force the only thing consistent the only thing unchanging the only thing not temporary foreign my buddy Jung is quoted as saying inasmuch as the serpent leads into the

Shadows it has the function of the animal it leads you Into the Depths it connects the above and the below of course you might know that Carl is ashamed for saying that for the leaves to grow to heaven the roots must in turn grow to hell

Something like that you get the idea you don’t get those leaves and fruits for free you gotta go down in the muck down in the dirt in the cold Jung seemed to characterize some of these symbols as archetypes for example there is the archetype of the trickster and the hero

The archetype of the trickster seems to arise many times within our mythology in whatever form that the trickster chooses to intervene according to the specific culture there are common traits within all of the lore the most famous form we have in pop culture today is that of the

Honest John from the story of Pinocchio but this being goes back to the very depths of pre-recorded history and is truly a part of who we are today the trickster takes advantage of the part of the human psyche that has not yet broken free from the animal nature it sees the

Parts of us that are still attached to the needs of the body and desire and and use those against us either as a prank or maybe something more Sinister the trickster know those that you have fears burdens and desires and uses them against you effortlessly it needs no

Weapons in hand it knows that you are already holding the weapon in your own hand but without the intent to slay yourself this is why the trickster is considered to be at play as opposed to being evil he uses his wit and charm instead of force in order to

Effortlessly manipulate a person or situation for his own entertainment or for more Sinister reasons this tricks her entity like the demon called Mara can be overcome by simply recognizing our weakness to it and thus seeing it for what it really is past its current disguise can you think of anything

Within your own life that can be represented by the archetype of the trickster what can you see in yourself that can be played as a Fool by this entity now wow what can you do to dissolve this sort of cosmic prank the wisdom of the ancient people obviously

Has little to no scientific terminology that resembles ours of today any more than we can currently use symbology and an image to convey our theories and knowledge through words is it possible that much like how we struggle with Evolution and creation as two different things but start to lean in the idea

That they might be the same thing called by two different mouth noises that we are indeed speaking of the same themes but with a completely different cultural point of view today when studying the human anatomy of the nervous system in the brain we use language to refer to

These items such as the pineal gland pituitary gland the sensor clostrum the spinal column of 33 vertebrae cerebral spinal fluid sacrum of course we use a different language of mouth to describe the functions of these interacting parts and their dependency on each other if the ancient Masters

Were as advanced as we are suggesting they were surely not ignorant of these components but would illustrate and study the subject of anatomy in a completely different way than us what if that way of communication was so different from our way of language-based thinking that we interpret their

Messages completely wrong or even ignore them all together and if so what could we be missing out on learning from these symbolic oriented Communications this bit of text here that seems to illustrate what we’re talking about if we look at the human being in its core

Function we are opted to look at the central nervous system and its interaction with the brain we know that the two separate hemispheres of the brain act differently from one another the left side for logical thinking and the right side for creative thinking between these two hemispheres are the

Pituitary gland and pineal gland the cerebral spinal fluid is charged with an electrical spark due to its saline content that protects and converts nutrients and information to these corresponding parts this twin fluid of yellow and white secretions travels up and down the 33 vertebrae from the

Lowest bone in the spine in the sacrum where it is heated and powered by the sexual organs and all the way up to the top of the head this cycle happens every 12 hours we are discovering today that there are ways to expand our Consciousness by treating this process

In a delicate and attentive manner utilizing exercise diets and guilt-free states of mind this Mind and Body Connection can no longer be ignored by Medical Science as we have seen the results of the placebo effect and have seen what Havoc mental stress can have on our physical form when the mentioned

Twin fluids come from the lower sacrum and enter the brain through the sensor colostrum they lay dormant for three days until they enter the pineal gland once entering the pineal gland pending the quality of the treatment we have given this process the fluid is electromagnetically activated by the calcite microcryst by the calcite

Microcryst by the calcite microcrystals of the pineal gland and thus forms a kind of transducer like a radio antenna but to pick up on what but what does not have to be said here is that the above scientific jargon is confusing and often lost from the understanding of the

Average person like myself what if this jargon is blocking us from understanding the meaning and truth of this process after all we know that in nature there are no accidents is there a better way to communicate in a way that we can take heed of and perpetuate the betterment of ourself and therefore

All of humanity well if we were to like maybe say look at some coincidences between symbols and it’s interesting after reading that and knowing that the travels of Christ lasted 33 years as he died on the cross at the age of 33. this seems familiar to

The 33 vertebrae of the spine and the 33 degrees of initiation by the Freemasons of course represented by a ladder or other form of Ascension Christ was crucified between two thieves we know that the two hemispheres of the brain steal from each other to create a coherent sense of reality the white and

Yellow twin sacred or sacrum spinal fluids the milk and honey meet with these 12 cranial nerves and convey information to them Jesus taught 12 disciples and the connections dealing with the number 12 divisible by three can be found in more places than can be mentioned here from the Zodiac to how we

Construct time according to months and hours on a clock price is said to have died for three days and was resurrected to ascend into heaven with the promise of returning this is oddly familiar to the functions of the activity of the pituitary gland and the pineal glands

After the secretion is raised up through the spine or Jacob’s Ladder symbolically speaking within our bodies which have a similar shape to the symbol of the Cross when we observe the parallel set of stories in comparison to the scientific jargon and then look at this message of

Christ as a loving and joyful Giver of gifts we can sort of piece together a message being sent from very long ago by people who understood the universe within themselves in a way that we have been distracted from daily this particular symbolical allegory goes back even further considering how the twin

Serpents of the Kundalini work to activate higher sentience within human beings and the coincidences continue on and on for the sake of brev here the science of today seems to leave out the important parts of this biological process the important part might not be how it works but how we should treat the

Process itself in order to come into self-realization or turn lead into gold just like any ancient myth parabolic allegory or alchemical symbol we can take what we know from today’s science and combine it with the wisdom of image-based thinking of our ancient ancestors these opposites create are

Clever and more cohesive picture for us of the house and whys of both mental expansion and bodily Health the science of today tells us what and where the metaphors of yesterday’s past can tell us the meaning and the purpose of these practices and Rites of Passage this is

Kin to the dueling dance of Mind hard coherence science speaks to the mind and myth speaks to the heart science tells us how we are alive and myth tells us how to live why we are alive to be honest though I oftentimes feel like the science we are exploring today is just

Now starting to catch up with the wisdom of the ancient thinking what they understood goes beyond words as we have seen here they spent generation after generation dedicated to the fine-tuning of these practices with little to no external distractions from the goal or lack of goal depending on the philosophy

Like like Zen Masters the unification of these opposing messages can be wed to a better process of developing the human species up out forward into a better state of mind and thus into a better world what it is [Applause] mission of the wisdom from celebrity Catches and TV screens Don’t know which way to go so I’ll watch TV shows take us to Super Bowl I look in magazines news Within you than you
