Spiritual Alchemy : Polarity pt2
The Knight and the Dark Dragon fight in the forest of the soul. the polarities of ego and will again manifest in this drawing.
This is again illustrating the alchemical process of breaking down the soul into its purest form.
~Excerpt from “The Book Of Lambspring”~
“ The Sage says
That a wild beast is in the forest,
Whose skin is of the blackest dye.
If any man cut off his head,
His blackness will disappear,
And give place to a snowy white.
Understand well the meaning of this head:
The blackness is called the head of the Raven;
As soon as it disappears,
A white colour is straightway manifested;
It is given this name, despoiled of its head.
When the Beast's black hue has vanished in a black smoke,
The Sages rejoice
From the bottom of their hearts. “
Blackness: Head of a raven is the 1st process called Nigredo. This is the beginning of looking into ones soul. The blackness within. The Warrior that fights the Darkness of the Ego. For with all polarities of “good” and “evil” we must fight the darkness within, as the ego never will give up easily, “..any man cut off his head.” As you apply the fire of will and the higher being, focus your attention on the heart, this darkness gives way to “a place that is snowy white”.
White: white in color is the purification process that has broken down the darkness of the ego and let shine the light of the God spark within. This is Albedo. When Earth and Water become Air. Again the Holy Trinity of God head that was split into the male and female energy which makes up the fabric of this physical reality. The 3 are again becoming 1 through the final process.
Red: The Sages rejoice From the bottom of their hearts. This is Rubedo. Now that the 3 have become one it is now the process of maintaining this divine light. The alchemist as tasted the inner God spark. This in no way means there is nothing to be done once this process is complete. Now comes the test of will. The divine spark will only shine when one applies constant awareness to ones thoughts. Once this effort is put forth then, one is now enlightened as this awareness becomes part of of the physical being.
This path that we are all on is one of our souls purpose. Some choose to stay in the lower 3 chakra of the physical. It is not our job to shake others off their chosen path. They might have karma to deal with and through the ability of free choice have chosen this path. This is not to say that we cant bring ideas to others which at 1st seem shocking. We need a good jolt to shake us from our comfort zone.
So I share this with all of you. Every race, creed, denomination of being or self orientation.
We are first spiritual beings having a physical experience. Its time to remember who and what we are and how to resolve our inner turmoil so that we can life in the light of the creator.
