Alchemy is the sacred art of watching the volume of life within a code of reference. This reference gives ease to the many equations of the mind, as it tries to add up what is, and divides or separates what is not. I have often wondered why we become so absorbed in something and then all at once we are not. Is this completion, or distraction?
I have found that it all depends on where you are in the alchemical process, and how many levels one has completed. They both, often, look alike, but are the opposite. There is a real formation of change that happens in this difference, and we learn to differentiate it by feeling the intricate patterns that create completion, or the emptiness of distraction, that has not yet built anything upon itself.
When I hear thought that cannot create anything but challenge, I realize it is only because it has never become. It cannot gather or weave. It cannot realize or expand. It can only challenge with its question with no answer. In this, though, it can create enough distraction, that you stop the alchemical process, and stay stuck in one part.
Fire seed of earth gives you the awareness of where you are, so you can ground your position and draw back the fire once again, into your creative life.
You know there is an order under the chaos of change, and you will move on through, till you know where you are, and complete the phase of needed increase, for the motion to finish, and you are in completion.
The current is free and the elements merge once again.
Wow! This is the clearest explanation of this space/level that we all so often find ourselves in that I've ever heard. As a family, I've certainly seen how we move through these times much faster & easier because of this understanding that you've expressed so well. We see & trust "the order under the chaos of change.." This past year has been a perfect example!! :)
ReplyDeleteSuzanne, yes indeed it has! and we've had to be fast on our feet, to be able to change one layer after another.
