Met a very interesting woman during my travels today. She is visiting my City from Hawaii. She is a research psychologist working with community mental health care clinics/agencies to aid them to inquire into monitoring and activating the archetypes of their communities. [Thank you Ms. Psychologist for your words of wisdom and gracious conversation. Aloha!]
In conjunction with this synchronistic conversation, I have been reading a book entitled: Aging, Death and the Quest for Immortality. In the final pages of this treatise, it speaks of the Art of Alchemy and the search for the magnum opus. “The Philosopher’s Stone would become the glimmering “elixir of life, “ the universal cure for all diseases. Producing the Philosopher’s Stone was the alchemist’s ultimate dream, for it alone was imagined to be capable of prolonging life indefinitely and securing for the alchemist the “virtue” of eternal youth. The laborious task of producing the Philosopher’s Stone was termed the magnum opus, or GREAT WORK.
As our Great Wheel of Life turns to create the next evolution of our creation, how do we work to reveal the concealed truth on the next rung of our ladder of manifestation? What archetypes are needed in this tumultuous time of transition and turbulence? Can we Co-create this transformation through CREATIVITY and not destruction? Can we evolve the OLD ways of conflict resolution? How do we manifest a New World Order that serves the Greater Good? How do we fulfill the prophesied completion of our time as spoken of in (1 Corinthians 15:51-54) Behold, I tell you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
Historically Western Cultures have labeled this path of the Quest for Immortality as the Path of the Red Lion. Can we collectively, journey together to support our social alchemy to manifest this dream into reality? Is this magnum opus too Great a Work for our time? Can supporting the truth of this laborious task become the goal of our New World Order?
