Selamat memasuki zona overthinking

Dimana isi kepala bagaikan benang ruwet yang sulit tuk diurai

Ketika benang yang satu ditarik, sisi benang yang lain menjadi semakin rumit.

Ketika benang sisi lain dilonggarkan, tetap aja ada sisi lain yang terjepit

Sulit?

Iya.

Tapi mau bagaimana?

Perlahan.

Satu - satu.

Pasti nggak ruwet lagi kok.

Kuat kuatin ya dirimu.

Today I'm going to profane a number of ancient mysteries by telling you exactly what I think of Alchemy's Prima Materia... #alchemy #occult #primamateria

Alchemy: The Prima Materia

[astrobrilliance]

Dark energy

Dark energy isn’t and should never be considered evil. It’s the source of all. It’s all around us and it is apart of us.

96% of the universe is made of darkness:

23% dark matter + 73% dark energy

In this context, darkness simply means unseen, unknown and unable to be perceived by the eye.

We all come from the dark and empty space of the womb.

In the darkness, you can create whatever you want. Manifesting with dark energy results in faster manifestations because you’re using the source energy.

How to manifest with Dark energy

1. Sit or lie down in a completely dark room. Close your eyes, relax and then imagine yourself as the darkness of the universe. Sense and feel that you are in the darkness of the outer space, you may see stars or it may be completely black

2. Now see the thing, situation or circumstance you want to manifest on the dark screen of your imagination- whether that’s money, a new car, a new relationship, a new house, winning an award. And FEEL how you would feel if you had it.

3. Feel and sense all the cosmos, the stars, the galaxies and see them in alignement and ready to give you want you want. Sense that the universe is conspiring on your behalf to bring your desire into reality. Don’t wish upon a star, wish along a star.

You can create whatever you want in the darkness and send it to yourself on earth.

Thank you for reading!! It’s my first post, I wish you all the best.

Gold Of A Thousand Mornings

Written by Armand Barbault in 1969, translated from the French by Robin Campbell in 1975, published by Neville Spearman Limited.

I do alchemical bibliomancy, and have by now learned that the quotes I seem to randomly pick wind up far too relevant to seem entirely random.  Here is the entire passage which turned up for my Imbolc "dip into the alchemical wellspring" and from which I drew the shorter quote used for the title and reference in my alchemical blog this week.  I've highlighted that bit in bold.  But the rest of the material is too rich not to share.

Whether you are doing inner or laboratory work, this is a good way of looking at the metaphor of the Air of Earth. 

II. Aquarius, the Water Carner (January 2Ist-Febru­ary 19th) The winter Air sign. This sign is certainly theleast known and most enigmatic of all. It occurs right in the heart of winter, at the coldest time of year. Its opposite, Leo, is the warmest Fire sign. Because it is so enigmatic an attempt will now be made to explain as fully as possible in what sense it acts as an inspiration to the alchemist. The symbol is a woman pouring out the contents of an urn. This might seem an unlikely symbol for an air sign. The explanation is this: the contents of the um represent irradi­ation, the etheric forces of nature which are fully active underground. We know that the first Air sign, Gemini, presides over the time in spring when all vegetation is breathing at maximum intensity. The second, Libra, marks the time in autumn when these respiratory functions are on the wane and plant life is dying. Aquarius, the third Air sign, corresponds to the fullest manifestation of air in the interior of the earth. By irradiation it imparts new life to roots, induces internal breathing and generally awakens that which was sleeping. Compare this with the activity under the opposite sign, Leo, where the fruit is ripened by the sun. The time of Aquarius is, for the alchemist, the moment to acquire his First Matter, while it still possesses etheric forces. Once the Matter has been isolated from the ground, it can be brought to life again by impregnation with vegetable substances and dew whenever the circum­stances are appropriate.

Basil Valentine — Concerning the First Matter of the Philosophical Stone

Seek for that Stone which has no fleshly nature, but out of which a volatile fire is extracted, whence also this stone is made, being composed of white and red. It is a stone, and no stone; therein Nature alone operates. A fountain flows from it. The fixed part submerges its father, absorbing it, body and life, until the soul is returned to it. And the volatile mother like to him, is produced in her own kingdom; and he by his virtue and power receives greater strength. The volatile mother when prepared surpasses the sun in summer. Thus the father by means of Vulcan was produced from the spirit. Body, soul, and spirit exist in both, whence the whole matter proceeds. It proceeds from one, and is one matter. Bind together the fixed and the volatile; they are two, and three, and yet one only. If you do not understand you will attain nothing. Adam was in a bath — wherein Venus found her like, which bath the aged Dragon had prepared when his strength was deserting him. There is nothing, says the Philosopher, save a double mercury; I say that no other matter has been named; blessed is he who understands it. Seek therein, and be not weary; the result justifies the labour.

Sungod - First Matter [2010, Cyclopean Records]

Sungod's appropriately-titled debut album is an immense, swirling cloud of guitar, percussion, and feedback, with starry-eyed scales climbing towards the heavens while the guitar wails like a banshee.  Very psychedelic, in that fuzzy San Francisco Bay way, but with enough complexity woven in to keep it from losing momentum in the shoe/navel-gazing.  There's also some post-rocky acoustic guitar sections, which are worked smoothly into the flow of the album.  Good stuff, with a nice build-up to the 22-minute final track, which cycles its own energy so high it's left with nowhere to go but a collapse into silence.

Here's the full cover art.
