Felix Culpa. The FORTUNATE fall. . There are many ways to interpret a story... . The sheep eat what they are spoon fed without asking questions. . The wise look for the deeper meaning, which is hidden for a reason. . In order to wield a great power you must be ready and responsible. . That’s why secret teachings are transmitted orally and through rites of initiation. . #gradualawakening #gradualpath #everlastinglife
Solve et Coagula. . The alchemical motto meaning to dissolve in order to reconstitute. . Literally having to do with melting down base metals to rid impurities in order to create gold. . Metaphorically having to do with dying to an old suboptimal way of being in order to be spiritually reborn. . I don’t pity those who are facing a great trial because that is what is required to grow. . I pity those still stuck in the shire too fearful to answer the call of the hero’s quest and who avoid facing an ordeal. . The ordeal is the door way to treasure, there is no other way. . In tonight’s class we enter the shadow, face the ordeal, and convert inner enemies to allies. . #gradualawakening #gradualpath
On one level, just two dudes walking through the @metropolitanmuseum on a Monday... . On another level an initiation into high Magick with @damienechols - a wisdom keeper, in a scared temple, amidst relics - bringing back to life the oral tradition of the Western path to enlightenment. . Much was discussed. Astrology. Energy. Alchemy. Symbolism. More to be continued when we meet again at @witmalive later this month. . Hit Damien up if you’d like a private tour, and plan to walk with a foot in two worlds. . @kristepeoples finally💥! . #gradualawakening #gradualpath #highmagick
shadows emerging from water...mythology is a timeless mirror.
Unknown to me, today is the feast of Gaurdian Angles. Had to look up its meaning. . Synchronistically, it’s also the day I teach on Jung’s meeting with his spirit guide Philemon, which he painted so vividly in his Red Book. . And when we unpack the next three stages of Campbell’s monomyth including finding the mentor. . And as we continue with our Tibetan visualization practice on Shakyamuni Buddha. . We have ventured off the trail of the Gradual Path, to places unknown. It’s not comfortable. Some have left the course. Others are confused. Still others are leaning in. . I’m not sure where this leads, but the ride for this course is right over left brain, button up over top down, and left to the collective unconscious to reveal itself. . The point is not not to be afraid, but to carry on into the unknowing inspite of fear. . #GradualPath #GradualAwakening #herosjourney
