ALCHEMY_OF_FIRE > : From knowledge to mental liberation, stage 10
by (188 reads) |  Astral plane and anthropocentrism – Astral personalities – Anthropocentrism – The man at the center of the world – Effects of the word (meanings and tones).
The astral plane is characterized by impetuous and unsteady motions; it is symbolized by the water element (see waters of chaos, sea of illusion). It derives from the earth element and it originates watery emotions and seducing passion, which often lead man into uncontrollable situations (see the myth of Ulysses: the sorceress Circe seduced men and turned them into pigs; the enchanting sirens in the metaphor of the narrow passage of temptations placed between Scylla and Charybdis)

ALCHEMY_OF_FIRE > : From knowledge to mental liberation, stage 8
by (205 reads) | To accelerate events is a sign of inexperience; the inexperienced man plans to build the roof of his philosophic home before providing for steady foundations and solid walls. To know means to understand; it is therefore silly to think that we can penetrate the subtle dimension only with the help of reason. Since the mind lies to itself first of all, the first thing to do is to understand the dangers of illusion.

ALCHEMY_OF_FIRE > : From knowledge to mental liberation, stage 7
by (179 reads) | The most significant step for personal progress is to acknowledge that we know nothing (nothing substantial). To discover that we don’t know is the flash of intelligence that prepares us to welcome all that is new and unknown with modesty. On the contrary, to be satisfied with what we know is the anteroom of intellectual sleep. The people who don’t feel curious for the new and different, or don’t feel inside them the drive towards harmony and beauty, think that to perfect themselves is a chore that they can’t face.

ALCHEMY_OF_FIRE > : Sexual Alchemy
by (251 reads) | Sexual power and mental power are different results of the same energy. The difference is given by its use. To concentrate the strength on a particular function (activity of sex or thought) means to reduce the action of the other. For this reason the process of transformation is based on the arrangement of the strengths, where balance is very important. We know methods for strengthening sexual or mental activities and we can resume them in the sentence: “transfers of energy”. The ability to move energy is the heart of the system; once this is clear, everything comes as a consequence.
