Cards of the Day – February 12, 2024


————————————————————

The Bow and Arrow card embodies the spirits of focus, intention, and action. When this card is drawn, it indicates that you are in a critical phase of your journey where meticulous attention to your dreams is paramount for them to actualize. Like the woman aiming her bow at the target, you are being asked to concentrate on your aim – make your goals clear in your mind and develop a strategic plan to achieve them.
You may be on the verge of starting a new project or initiating an important endeavor. Things might seem daunting and even downright impossible, but the Bow and Arrow card is encouraging you to take that leap of faith, just like the woman in readiness to release her arrow. Remember that your strength comes from a higher force. Gather your courage and take that first step despite any uncertainties.
While she stands atop the hillside donning a long blue cloak, the woman carrying the bow and arrow is alert and focused. The pale light of the moon illuminating her figure is a powerful symbol of hidden strengths and latent possibilities. Her bow and arrow embody her purpose, focus, and intent while the trees and mountainous terrain in the background represent the challenges she must face and overcome. Her form radiates an aura of calm determination, serving as a reminder to harness and express your own inherent strength and resilience to strive for your targets aggressively.
When you draw the Bow and Arrow card, it embodies the essence of high intensity and concentrated focus. It sends a signal that it’s time to set your objectives and draw your attention to those. In power struggles, it shows that you have the potential to hit the bull’s eye and win. It’s not about the chaos outside; this card stresses the significance of inner balance and tranquility. To hit the target, you need to be steady, focused, and determined.
Your Potential is Limitless
This card is also intended to spark your satiated spirit, reminding you to tap into your potential that’s still unexplored. Consciously direct your energy and resources to areas that can facilitate growth and yield results. Recognize the power of your intention and believe that success is not far off. What are your objectives presently, and are these in synergy with your life’s goals? Can you perhaps allocate your energy more resourcefully?
The Bow and Arrow epitomizes a rise in power and influence and may point to someone who embodies these attributes. It’s a clarion call for you to not just keep your dreams alive, but also break through limits and surge ahead. Think about it – who in your present life exemplifies the characteristics of the archer? How can you learn or perhaps draw inspiration from them? In which area of your life can you exercise more control and assert your strength?
What the Bow and Arrow Mean for You Today
The Bow and Arrow card appears today to remind you of your strength and focus. This is a clear signal that it’s time to aim for your goals rather than just vaguely dreaming about them. It is a symbol of your strengths hiding within you, waiting to break free into the light. This card is here to reassure you that it’s time to employ all your talents, skills, and resources to realize your dreams. You have everything you need; now, strike the target with unfaltering focus.

The Fork in the Road, brings with it a sense of a challenging decision to be made. It represents a moment in life where you seem to stand on a precipice, viewing two different paths to undertake. On one side, you see a path leading towards a seemingly comfortable destination — a castle, perhaps depicting safety, royalty, or accomplishment. On the other, a treacherous mountain path symbolizing challenges, patience, resilience, and hard-earned success. This card reveals a pivotal moment in your life — a crossroads, where your choices can lead to vastly different journeys.
As the individuals stand at the Fork in the Road, an atmosphere of contemplation and analysis descends. You may currently be or could soon be in a position where you have to make a significant decision. This could be about your career, a relationship, geographical location, or even a shift in your personal beliefs and values. Like the individuals in the image, you can only choose one route.
The castle path may seem more inviting – a promise of immediate comfort, security, and predictability. The castle appears as an emblem of material success, or societal achievement, often depicting a course of laid-out plans that seems to prove fruitful.
However, the mountain path, while daunting and challenging, could hold a journey of personal growth, unexpected endeavors, and fulfillments beyond material gain. The mountain could symbolize the conquest of personal fears, the need for resilience and strength, and the ability to self-reflect and make inner transformations.
Fork in the Road serves as a reminder that each course is an adventure in itself, filled with lessons, growth, and experiences that will shape us in ways that we might not be able to foresee. Can the rewards of the castle’s comfort outweigh the potential enlightenment the mountain trail may have to offer?
Decision-Making Time
The card might be hinting at the need for decisive action. It’s time to evaluate your decisions carefully. How well do you understand each path? What pros and cons do they hold? What aligns best with your values and personal growth? Keep in mind that neither choice is necessarily wrong or right – it’s about what resonates with your inner self. It’s okay to take the time to meditate, seek advice, and reflect on your options.
Consider asking yourself relevant questions when you draw the Fork in the Road. Which path appeals to you the most? Are you inclined towards the easy way out, or are you ready to conquer the challenges ahead? Does your decision radiate synchrony with your core beliefs and long-term goals? Remember, the choices we make today shape our tomorrow.
What Fork in the Road Means for You Today
The Fork in the Road has presented itself to you today, indicating a crucial decision-making phase in your life. It’s time to examine your options and make informed choices. Whether it’s taking a leap of faith into the unknown or opting for something familiar, the decision is yours to make and will set the course for your upcoming journey. Look within and trust your intuition. This card represents the infinite potential each choice holds and the beautiful journey of self-discovery each path presents. Remember, it’s not the destination but the journey that shapes us.

The Gibbous Moon card often signifies a time of seeding and growth, all under the canopy of self-reflection. Its appearance invites us into a space of profound introspection, and powerful realization. You are being called to look inward, to trust your intuition, and to plant the seeds of your deepest dreams. Just as the woman in the card nurtures the Moon despite a peaceful exterior, it’s time for you to nurture your ideas with quiet dedication.
This card is symbolic of a deep and profound spiritual journey where you can truly get to know your inner self. With the water lilies on which the woman kneels, The Gibbous Moon implies a connection to nature and spirituality, symbolic of purity, spiritual enlightenment and rebirth. This card might be hinting that perhaps you’ve neglected your spiritual needs, and it’s time to reconnect with that part of yourself.

The Gibbous Moon plays a mysterious and tantalizing role. It highlights the thin line between the visible and the hidden, urging you to unveil your hidden truths. It’s a gracious reminder to seek within what we so often search for in the world around us. From the moon’s gentle glow, we learn that the answers we seek are already within us. We simply need to reflect upon them, just as the moon reflects the sun’s light.
She kneels in reverence to the Gibbous Moon, symbolic of her clear, calm mind. The moon floats between her gentle hands, reminding us of our capacity to hold life’s mysteries gently, without trying to force or control them. Her serene look reminds you to remain calm even when confronted with uncertainty or change. Likewise, the lake behind her embodies tranquility, suggesting that the solutions you seek will surface when you achieve a state of inner peace.
The Gibbous Moon embodies an abundant energy that encourages expansion and growth. It is a powerful symbol of fertility, encouraging you to plant the seeds of your dreams and to manifest them into reality. Like the woman nurturing the moon in her hands, you are being called to nourish your spirit and intentions with the same level of attention and care.
Reflect and Project your Intentions
The female power depicted on The Gibbous Moon card is not forceful, rather it is subtle and cooperative. You are being asked to adapt this power and time for your own reflection. By doing so, you can project your intentions into the Universe. Do not strive to control the flow of events, instead, like the woman on the card, embrace a supportive and cooperative role towards your spiritual evolution.
Upon drawing The Gibbous Moon card, ask yourself the following: What intentions have you been holding in your heart that are ready to be released? What spiritual needs have you been neglecting and how you can connect with them once more? Are you making room for introspection and reflection, and growth in your life? Is there anything from your past that you need to confront?
What the Gibbous Moon Means for You Today
The Gibbous Moon card emerged today as a signal that now is an ideal time for self-reflection and personal growth. This moon phase is a powerful time for manifestation, so align your intentions with your dreams. Cultivate inner peace and tranquility, ensuring that your actions reflect what you desire. Like the woman in the card, trust your intuition and know that what you seek is already inside you. Embrace the calm, expectant energy of the Gibbous Moon and prepare to see the fruits of your internal work make an external impact.

Easy-Peasy Ascension – February 12, 2024


————————————————————

Editor’s Note: Many thanks to Aurora Ray for contributing to our Ascension Process! Is “Ascension” difficult?

Nah…personal ascension can be sooo simple and easy-peasy! Lean back, relax, take a deep breath, and…BE HAPPY!

Your own person happiness causes you to have hold and emit personal high-vibes! What does holding high-vibes consistently mean? You Ascend!

Planet Earth is also predating to Ascend into a higher order with humanity on-board! When will this happen? No one knows, yet maintaining your own personal happiness draws that which makes you happy to you, allowing you to BE in…

Quantum Joy!

————————————————————-

Last week I sent an email to our community of starseeds asking anyone who wants to ascend to 5D to raise their hands. 

And things have been absolutely crazy since then.

It looks like my email reallystruck a chord.

Over 1,427 people have raised their hand by signing up for the waitlist here.

The truth is:

You don’t need to meditate for hours to raise your frequency.

Hundreds of people in our fast-growing community have already achieved permanent5D awareness, even though they spent less time listening to “new cage” gurus or meditating.

First, you really have to want it.

Nobody is going to get you to 5D except yourself.

If you’re waiting for someone else to raise your frequency for you, you might as well wait forever, because that is most likely never going to happen.

You have to stop tolerating feeling disconnected and empty.

You have to realize that ascension is already available to you. 

You have to step into the highest version of yourself available on earth.

Nobody else is going to do it for you, unless you make the decision.

I salute everyone who is ready to make that decision (or has already).

Ariel: A Second Lockdown Is Coming – February 12, 2024


————————————————————

Editor’s Note: Many thanks to E, for sharing this post! 🌹

Let’s repeat, martial law (mandatory management via the military – National Guard, State Troopers?) is on the US near horizon.

This development is actually a long-awaited, and beautiful event (The Event), marking a real change in how “value” is compensated on Planet Earth!

So…make sure you have all the “stuff” you need for @10 days-14 days (NO running out for gas/groceries during this time), use your down-time to rest, relax, and get ready to BE in…

Quantum Joy!

———————————————————-

People listen to me. This second lockdown is not something happening haphazardly. Do you want them to call it what it really is?

Because you will not like it. So please stop with the people will not take or accept it. You threw the same temper tantrums the last time and it stopped nothing. This is neccessary or you will be in the way.

And you will be removed by the military in a not so nice way. We are in a war. Stop with this pretentious rebellious attitude. If you want the Deep State defeated it’s going to take what requires our armed forces to do that successfully.

You know this is not about a virus.

You know this is not about a quarantine.

You know this is not about being 6 feet apart.

You know this is not about mask.

We need to play our part and do not be in the way of this operation. The Military is not going to play games with you. There is a reason our Founding Fathers put our military above every branch of government. You know what this means? You will not be able to go cry to your government or local representatives about how bad you are being treated because you do not want to listen.

The Military will become The Queens & Kings. We are still under a National Emergency. You will soon understand the phrase “Nothing Can Stop What Is Coming”. And that means everything, including you. So anybody who’s looking to defy orders of and by the military and you are caught out there trying to loot goodluck with life at that point.

Because you can see based on liberal policies being implemented in places like NYC where police are being steamed rolled by civilians and illegal immigrants and the government or Mayor Adams is doing nothing. Well, this will not be the case once the military start doing their rounds soon.

You want “The New Republic”?

Well you will have to follow orders to ensure you make it successfully over to the other side. Because once we go back on the Gold Standard things will not be run by the 1871 US Corp that puts you under the jurisdiction of a defunct power that is Washington DC, that is now considered foreign occupied territory.

This is the main reason the the fence was put around the National Mall and the Capitol which was several miles in length. The marines did not salute Joe Biden on Inauguration day. And you know this is true because USA Today tried to do a Fact-Check and cover for him. Talking about he wasn’t sworn in yet. Please.

When we are under military provisions and we defy clear and concise orders there are a myriad of things that can happen.

  1. Arrest and detention.
  2. Imprisonment.
  3. Fines or financial penalties.
  4. Forced labor or community service.
  5. Loss of property or assets.
  6. Suspension of civil liberties and rights.
  7. Physical or verbal coercion.
  8. Use of non-lethal force (such as tear gas or rubber bullets).
  9. Use of lethal force in extreme cases.
  10. Military tribunal or court-martial.
  11. Expulsion or deportation.
  12. Curfews or restricted movement.
  13. Monitoring or surveillance.
  14. Blacklisting or loss of employment opportunities.
  15. Social ostracism or stigmatization.

We can avoid all the trouble that comes with challenging our armed forces by not becoming some unhinged lunatic who just needs to be that one person who decides they want special attention. Let them do their jobs without them having to worry about babysitting grown adults.

The Deep State Is The Virus

They are parasites.

They are leeches.

They are blood suckers.

The world (humanity) is their host. And we need to remove them before we are drained of all of our blood. By any means necessary. When this is all said and done you will realize how entrenched in darkness we have become as society. You may have heard Charlie Freak special as to how the Cabal were all rounded up in Venice in 2020 called “The Takedown of The Cabal” from A-Z. This was a 4 part series. Which was blocked on YouTube. You can watch it on Rumble.

The Takedown of the Cabal from A to Z ~ Part One ~ The World Capitulates to Donald Trump

Find the other 3 parts on Rumble.

From Tiro:

Why do I bring this up? Because as positive as this development is. This was the surface level of the operation. Which are basically The 13 Families. The most powerful of the Black Nobility families are located in Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Britain, Holland and Greece in that order. Their roots may be traced back to the Venetian oligarchs, who are of Khazar extraction, and married into these royal houses in the early part of the twelfth century. Guess what? All of these people were removed during the lockdowns that began in March of 2020.

So if we are going into the second phase of another lockdown that can basically start again I want to ask you what do you think will be removed? Remember the post I did on the Dulce Base? You got the clue yet?

Note to Readers:

The second lockdown is overt martial law. The public is advised to remain indoors for your personal safety. Period. No whining. Let the military do what they’ve been trained to do. Let them carry out their assigned mission.

All the creepy crawlies will be emerging from their hidey holes… and the troops need to focus. They may be accompanied by galactic forces if it is deemed necessary.

Why do I listen to Tiro and Ariel? They cut through the crap. Tiro is military, whether active or vet, I’m not sure. Ariel? Haven’t a clue, but I resonate with his tough messaging. 

You, the reader, have a choice. Ignore it all or prepare. Take responsibility for yourself and your family if you have one.

The 7 Stages of Alchemy – February 12, 2024


————————————————————

the 7 stages of alchemy

Editor’s Note: Many thanks to reader M. for sending in this share!🌹

Much has been written about “alchemy”…long recognized as the ability to change one metal into another, presumably…Gold!

However, changes are being witnessed now (no other way) about ascension…the alchemy of our consciousness! How do we think? Why do we think? Can we change the way we think?

Head’s up! Alchemy of your consciousness IS possible! Changing the way you think is actually not difficult when LOVE enters the picture! Actually, LOVE literally changes everything quite quickly!

As for “loosh” production…my vote is for positive loosh, whose vibrational field MUST not be “quite so palatable” to those feeding from human emotion!

Emotions are good things, serving as a “built-in” indicator of our vibrational state! Don’t know what your vibrational state actually is? Just look at your emotional state! High vibes = happiness/Love, low vibes = pain, fear, anger.

Our job here on Earth? Be happy, and then BE in…

Quantum Joy! 😊💕🌹

————————————————————

The teachings of alchemy have been cloaked for centuries in secrecy in order to preserve its integrity. Alchemy’s primary objective is the possibility of mutation by liberating the soul from its spiritual amnesia which created an adhesion to matter. This is accomplished through the redemption, purification, and unification of the seeker’s prima materia, or consciousness.

The prime matter is the mystical chaotic substance which animates all of the cosmos. This famous secret was known by many names: Mercury, primordial water, firewater, the alpha and omega—in essence it can be likened to the void: the mother of creation. It is this psychic element the alchemist uses in a series of operations to create the philosophers’ stone. Thus, it is the beginning material and the end product.

Nothing is more central to the subject of alchemy than “The Great Work” or, “Magnum Opus”, the transformative work of redeeming the subtle from the gross, combining the celestial with the terrestrial, which is repeated in a circulatory process until it matures to the highest level of refinement producing the philosopher’s stone. The spirit-matter continuum is the essential theme of alchemy, where we see plurality spring forth from primordial unity, and the necessity of separation to create a higher order of union once more. This is achieved by the reconfiguration and synthesis of the person’s elements: water, earth, air, and fire into the spiritual Quintessence.

In alchemy, the seven classical planetary bodies shared a relationship known as sympathy with their corresponding metals: The Sun, The Moon, Mars, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn were signified as the gradients Gold, Silver, Iron, Mercury, Copper, Tin, and Lead. This connection was based on the archetypal properties of each metal in the metallic kingdom being directed by their planetary equivalent through the law of correspondence.

Alchemy

To the mystic these correlations did not end in the exterior reality, rather they are projections from within our interior world and extend themselves outward into the world of form. Consciousness is the very fabric of reality that interfaces with itself on multiple levels of reality as illustrated in the hermetic maxim, “As above so below, as within so without, as the universe so the soul.”

Following this reasoning, we can discern that the transformation of the soul is what the true work in alchemy pertains to. This takes place on the spiritual plane, beyond the chemical, philosophical, and even noetic levels of this science. It is a science of the Soul. This is actualized through the transmutation of our inner elements—the extension of the soul—as well as the harmonization of our cerebral hemispheres that express the objective and subjective hemispheres of universal consciousness. Ascension from base consciousness into unity consciousness is through the harmonization and synthesis of the feminine and masculine elements within the mystic, as these sympathies represent forces in the cosmos coalescing and awakening to the individual’s I am presence. Unification is the entire aim of alchemy.

From a higher perspective, alchemy is the relationship between consciousness and matter. In the esoteric sphere, the spirit-matter continuum is the essential theme of alchemy, where there is a refinement of the mystics vessel until gnosis has been awakened. To the esoteric sphere alchemy is our inner-stars, and to the exoteric sphere, alchemy was reduced to merely metallurgy and its sister sciences since the exoteric sphere could not conceive that the mineral kingdom was reflecting a higher nature that was present in all processes and at higher orders of operation—an “above”. Alchemy operates on all levels of reality within this Universe.

The Stages of Alchemy

Each alchemist had their own variation on the number of operations to completing the great work with 4, 7 and 12 stages being the most common amount that was applied. This is the esoteric meaning of the seven stages:

Calcination: The initiation into higher states of consciousness is always done by subtracting rather than adding. The essential starting place for the great work is the burning away of all that has been calcified into the conditioned self. The esoteric dimensions of this step are the reducing of the individual’s programmed, egoic self into ashes. Fire is the spiritual catalyst that purifies one’s essence in the crucible of life. The majority of people would like to advance into higher levels of awareness, while still maintaining the comforts of their identity, belief systems, and multiple contradictory views. Calcination provides the necessary friction that challenges the persona, annihilating the stagnant energy holding our ideologies and neurosis in place so that the spirit may awaken. This happens when we enter into a Dark Night of the Soul, a form of existential crisis where our entire worldview undergoes reconstruction. What we are left with is an emptiness that is usually experienced as intense grief. As the former self gradually perishes, we encounter the inner void.

Dissolution: Whereas the first stage was purification by fire, dissolution involves purification by water. Water is known as the universal solvent for its ability to dissolve other substances. Water is also an expression of Mercury which is the esoteric, true universal solvent. The most important characteristic of this element is that it holds all the information of creation, both celestial and terrestrial, stored within its mercurial waters. Due to the rule that substances are dissolved by substances that share a similar makeup aka: like dissolves like, water has the capacity to disband the body and soul of psychic contaminates. In short, Mercury and its corresponding nature, water, can dissolve all because they contain all. The salvaged ashes of the psyche from calcination are submerged in water to thoroughly clear our vital life force from the remaining grip of the conditioned self. Water is the element of intuition, the unconscious, and feelings, its higher nature is the sea of consciousness that is manifested into energy in motion (Emotion). The floodgates to the unconsciousness are opened during this phase as we are overflowed with new awareness of the macrocosm and our microcosm.

Separation: The process of dissolution brought many of our inner workings and hidden patterns forward from their watery depths to be examined in the light of consciousness. In Separation, we are further refining our psyche by consciously disbanding our attachments to the artificial self from our authentic one. Alchemy is known as the Spagyric Art, meaning “to separate, and recombine.” This stage utilizes the element Air as it filters through our two natures, true essence and the programmed self, separating the subtle from gross matter. The most precious material concerning the alchemist is essence, this is the aspect connected to the soul. In order to cultivate the essence, the mystic’s whole being is aerated. This allows the seeds of enlightenment to deeply penetrate the vessel. An example of this phase is the threshold beyond ordinary awareness called the Witness space. In this field we are drawn out of identification with the character we play and become the awareness behind the character: the one who simply witnesses the thoughts and feelings as they arise with no vested interest or judgment. The emptiness that was experienced as intense grief in Calcination has dissipated into the presence of stillness in Separation.

Conjunction: Conjunction is the reuniting of the soul and body after the purification of fire, water, and air that it underwent in the first three phases. This is the part of the great work where we begin operating from a higher intelligence. In this stage there is a reconciling of opposing forces within the individual whose masculine and feminine hemispheres are no longer warring and have begun to harmonize. The mystic’s heart and mind have now been opened and are seeking balance. The alchemical marriage between the inner king and queen symbolizes equilibrium between the feminine dimensions of consciousness, intuition, and emotion, and the masculine dimensions of consciousness, intellect, and logic. This operation takes place in the Earth element since it is the first materialization of embodiment in the great work. The alchemist’s internal elements are recombined in the endeavor to create oneness from the four. The metaphysical implications of this phase are the uniting of the Spirit (Mercury) and Soul (Sulfur).

Fermentation:  One wouldn’t traditionally think of decay as a form of cleansing, but much like the Phoenix eternally dying unto itself so that it can be reborn from its ashes, fermentation provides the necessary decomposition that will allow it to occupy a higher level of being. This operation is marked by the putrefaction of the product that was assembled in the previous stage, into a ferment to ensure that full integration of the alchemist’s separate fragments have taken place. This ferment acts as a fertilizer for the soul. The process is similar to the caterpillar’s metamorphosis into a butterfly. Within its cocoon the caterpillar releases enzymes that dissolve all of its tissues liquefying it into a soup that will be reorganized into the blueprint of a butterfly. When an individual’s psyche is undergoing this same process, Carl Jung referred to it as metanoia. Although we may not be willing participants in our own demise such as the caterpillar, the agreement within the self that was reached during Conjunction has now made us so. We now seek to surrender the contents of our former identity and rectify all of our remaining cognitive dissonance as we incubate inside our cocoon of deep introspection.

Distillation: Distillation is the boiling of the liquified ferment until it evaporates to steam, condenses, and descends to a more refined state of liquid. In this stage the essence is being liberated from matter in the form of ascending vapors. This represents our transition to spirit through the volatilization of the spiritual fire. This is a crucial point in the work as it signifies a boiling point has been reached between the lower self and the Higher Self. A battle of wills is taking place where in order for the mystic to progress any further, their enduring shadow aspects must be truthfully assessed and assimilated. How this manifest’s over the course of our lives is during periods where we have attained a certain degree of truth but mistake it for being “the top of the summit.” Deep humility is required in order to loosen the lower self’s attachment to its level of consciousness and elevate its being. Some say there is no such thing as truth, that clarity is a dream. Others say Truth is definitive, all encompassing, and static. Truth varies by degree, this means that we access more truth by learning how to discern truth, much like a feedback loop. Truth is multidimensional, for this reason we are only designed to align with truth to the best of our capacity at this level of being, however that doesn’t mean the revelations ever cease, it’s only a matter of whether we allow higher grades of truth to permeate us or not.

Our body, mind, and soul are the substance being concentrated for this duration to affirm their integrity. All remaining fragments of the ego are being filtered in the process of distillation, exalting our core aspects into their generative principles.

Coagulation: Here the fusion of polarizing forces-spirit and matter, volatile and fixed, body and soul-have wholly integrated to achieve unification. The product of the sacred union is the incorruptible philosopher’s stone, the embodied “I am” presence. The masculine and feminine forces of nature have synthesized within the mystic, transmuting them into their Higher Self. Enlightenment and direct communication with the divine are both qualities of this state, as universal consciousness has become self-actualized. The struggle to recover our lost faculties that began in calcination, are fulfilled in this stage as the chemical transfusions from each phase have accumulated to create the sulfur of gold.

During Coagulation, the alchemist’s heart has awakened, and unconditional love is discovered to be no mere sentiment, but the very fabric of reality. The subatomic particles animating our soul have reorganized to this truth. Hermetically, this represents the birth of the fifth element within us: the quintessence. The fifth element is the universal life force known as Aether. This is the metaphysical heart center from which the classical elements originated from. Aether is the unconditional love that generates all planes of consciousness. The transmutation into this element is what will facilitate our ascension to higher dimensions.

The alchemical journey is the backdrop to all of our lives. Each of us experience trials and tribulations designed to move us toward a greater reality. However, these lessons tend to get co-opted by the ego’s nature to protect itself. For this reason, all awareness is fleeting, all gnosis—mechanical and rehearsed, all insights are about others and not of the self, with no genuine traction made. In contrast, much like the caterpillar’s transformation into a butterfly reflected in Fermentation, alchemy is none other than the willing participation in our own demise. It is the death, resurrection, and rebirth of the divided ego consciousness into the Higher Self. From this perspective we can clearly see why the majority of people would not voluntarily choose to sacrifice their worldly existence to embark down the path of the Magician. There is no incentive waiting for the dreamer who is deep asleep in matter. It’s for that very reason that the Great Work was given its name. Only souls of the highest character would endure such a fate or dare to actualize their full evolutionary potential.
