One of the secrets of alchemy is that what is “out there” in the physical world can’t be separated from what’s inside our head. To put it another way, the physical, material world, is a manifestation of our psyche: they are different manifestations of one and the same thing. So, if we want to be reunited with Creation, if we want to achieve what many call Unity Consciousness, then the physical world and our psyche must somehow unify and this unification can only occur within our own psyche.
Evidence of Oneness.
The process of unifying our inner and outer “worlds” begins when we start to perceive that there is actually a link between them. The evidence of this starts to come to us in the form of coincidences, synchronicities, signs, and various other messages or indications that we perceive and experience, that demonstrate to us that the Universe is responding to, and/or communicating with us, personally. This evidence increases and becomes ever more personal, the more we look for it.
The Rule of the Ego.
When we attempt to control anyone or anything it’s because we ourselves are under the control of our ego, which is very dominating and controlling. Our ego is that part of our conscious mind ( that voice that’s always chattering in our head ) that’s always comparing, judging, and commenting on everything, as well as always telling us what we should and need to be doing if we want to survive, be safe, successful, admired, happy, loved, secure etc. etc. etc.
Basically, our ego controls and dominates our lower self, which is comprised of our physical body, our emotional body, or aura, and our lower, mental body, or aura. Spirit, that aspect of our being that is still connected to the Divine, or All-That-Is, resides on the causal, or fifth astral plane. Spirit has control over our higher, mental aura, which exists on the fourth astral plane. Our lower, mental “body,” or aura, exists on the third astral plane, while our emotional”body” exists on the second plane. Naturally, of course, our physical body exists on the physical, material, plane.
At a certain stage in our journey to enlightenment, or on our journey to live as our true, authentic self, we need to free ourselves from the rulership of our tyrannical ego. When we achieve this, all parts and aspects of ourselves, both physical and non-physical, are then able to come under the leadership of spirit and we begin to manifest and live as our soul, our higher self.
I came across this quote by Carl G. Jung, from “Alchemical Studies,” the other day, and it’s so very, very true, so I thought I would share it with you. First, however, a little story about moi, and moi’s own folly and delusion (or innocence, if you want to be kind.)
Years ago, when I first embarked on a path of spiritual development, I believed I could use the knowledge I was gaining to avoid all of life’s ”bad stuff.” I’d discovered “The Seth Material,” by Jane Roberts, you see, and believed I’d discovered the secret to how the universe worked.
All I needed to do, I thought, was study how I was creating my reality and I would never have to worry again about mundane things like struggling to find the money to pay the bills, I would be prosperous, universally loved, completely fulfilled, ecstatically happy - not to mention an enlightened being! I would, or so I imagined, float inches above the ground in my own ascended space and instruct lesser mortals on how to do the same . . .
