Jose Gabriel Alegria Sabogal - Handbook of Sacred Anatomy.

[chaosophia218]

Jose Gabriel Alegria Sabogal - Putrefactio (Sol Niger), “Handbook of Sacred Anatomy”. Sol Niger (Black Sun) can refer to the first stage of the Alchemical Magnum Opus, the Nigredo (Blackening). In a text ascribed to Marsilio Ficino three Suns are described: Black, White, and Red, corresponding to the three most used Alchemical color stages. Of the Sol Niger he writes: “The body must be dissolved in the subtlest middle air: The body is also dissolved by its own heat and humidity; where the Soul, the middle nature holds the principality in the colour of Blackness all in the glass: which Blackness of Nature the ancient Philosophers called the crows head, or the Black Sun.” The Black Sun is used to illuminate the Dissolution of the body, a Blackening of Matter, or Putrefaction in Splendor Solis. Sol Niger symbolizes the stage of Psychological Transformation to which the Alchemical processes of Mortification or Putrefaction refer indicates the Death of a Conscious Attitude, resulting in the unfolding of a psychological center in the Self. Edinger writes that such symbols of the extinguished Conscious standpoint as “King, Sun, and Lion refer to the ruling principle of the Conscious Ego and the Power Instinct. At a certain point these must be mortified in order for a new center to emerge.”

COGITATION

[noun]

1. concerted thought or reflection; meditation; contemplation.

2. the faculty of thinking.

3. a thought; design or plan.

Etymology: from Old French cogitacion, “thought, consideration, reflection,” from Latin cogitationem, noun of action from past participle stem of cogitare, “to think, reflect, consider, turn over in the mind,” apparently from co-agitare, from com-, “together” + agitare, here in a sense of “to turn over in the mind,” literally “to put in constant motion, drive, impel,” frequentative of agere, “to move, drive”.

Moeite

Ze was te laat en volgens plan bleef ze niet lang, ze hield helaas haar afstand tot het laatst, misschien dat onder druk haar handen trilden maar ik kan gezien hebben wat ik wilde zien, altijd gretig voor bewijs of iets om me aan te verankeren zodat ik in de nacht kan herhalen dat het niet zal veranderen, dat er geen zwaailichten schijnen, geen sirenes klinken, we zijn zonder zinkende schepen of rampzalige gebreken, dat het moeilijk is en blijft, dat het raast en niet bedaart, dat het tijd kost en ons kwetst maar het blijft toch de moeite waard.

Banaliteit

 Het is de hoogste taak van een schrijver om de banaliteit van onze mensheid en onze wereld - te vernietigen.

Afstammend van de afgeleide mens, die de poetische schoonheid van alles om ons heen de rug toekeert, en zo, deze langzaam laat verdwijnen uit onze realiteit.

Ze ontnemen haar de ziel, de ziel die wij ze (en haar) pogen terug te geven.
