Alchemy is a terrible but brilliant series of processes that burn, drown, rot pressurize, and distill every extraneous thing out of the way so you can see what is there. What the fire leaves behind is who you really are. What the fire leaves behind is all the things about you that cannot be left behind. What remains when all else fades is how we know what's ours to live in a new way.
In this episode:
- the threshold between being initiated to the true self and the pressing need to integrate the true self in all facets of life
- the spirit addiction or impulse to keep cleaning the slate, reinventing yourself or undergoing one more process of alchemy that could maybe possibly change who you are and what your life is about this time
- how alchemy is not a process of transformation so much as a revelation
- prompts and inquiries for intuiting where you are on your alchemical journey
With love,
M
