The four phases of alchemy. four phases of alchemy that I chose, are taken from the alchemical process of transformation by Nigel Hamilton in 1985. alchemy is best known for its belief that lead can be transmuted into gold. However, the transmutation of non precious metals into gold is simply a metaphor for the soul being freed from a dead Lenin state of mind to that of realizing its own light nature that is derived from pure spirit. We have the shadow consciousness, lunar consciousness, solar consciousness and illuminated Earth consciousness. Start with the shadow consciousness. This is a purification of the earthly nature in us.

It is the dark night If the mind or the shadow self, this stage is experienced as entering the dark and chaotic unconscious in our world. This stage requires patience, humility and acceptance. One by one the inner conflicts will gradually become resolved until a completely new inner state of clarity and freedom is achieved. Here we remove the veils of unconscious attachment to the world, so as to get a clear sense of who we truly are. Meaning, you come to realize that you are not your family, job, body or status. In doing this we are liberated to turn within to discover inner guidance.

This stage is also an encountering and releasing of attachments such as fear, anger, grief, etc. Emotions we need to encounter to survive, experiencing them in order to become free. This is why winter on conscious Earth nature's first awakened we can experience it as negative thoughts and feelings. Once we move through the negative emotions we can transmute them into the positive. completion of the stage is the complete letting go of the old sense of self that was identified with unconsciously. So this we go back to the subconscious mind and our subconscious programming that we received when we were two years old between the ages of zero and six.

This is the sad shadow consciousness healing process is healing all of those fears, emotional wounds in programming, so that we're able to see ourselves more clearly. lunar consciousness is the stage of the moon. This this is further purification of her psyche and receptivity to our sole nature, which originally incarnated free of world impressions. We ask ourselves who am I, the soul now becomes conscious of itself by becoming aware of its own night nature. The reflected light symbolized by the moon and discovers the source of its life and light which is pure spirit. We often begin to question or life direction in this stage, realizing who you are and what your qualities and gifts are.

This leads to heightened spiritual awareness in purpose. It is the lunar child representing the newly acquired state of consciousness. It is fragile and innocent, reflecting the purely receptive state that the consciousness has just reached. The sense of self now identifies with the sole nature. Solar consciousness is the mystical experience. Latest pure creative intelligence and divine intellect.

Only true knowledge is revealed to us when this light becomes conscious in us. There's a dying of the lunar light to the point of complete darkness. It is a black light Light so bright we cannot see it as our inner sight is veiled and it appears as darkness. dark night of the soul and Buddhists describe it as a death of the sense of self as being a separate individual, a complete dying of the dualistic state of mind that perceives subject and object as separate. Consciousness is transformed into solar light. It is a revelation that is not arrived that by study reflection or deep thought, it is direct revelation.

Culmination of stage three leaves the alchemists completely free in a state of pure spirit, pure intelligence beyond space, time and form, but without a consciousness of body or mind. So going back to the auric field in DNA in the chakras, it's a similar process, just a different way of describing it. You're moving through all these fields raising your vibrational frequency accessing More information at You raise your frequency. Until then the illuminated Earth consciousness this awakens us to the desire to return to Earth and fully incarnate in his or her state of illuminated consciousness into the mind and body. This is a fusion of spirit and matter. The soul desires to be embodied without the sense of separation from its original pure state.

When the soul is finally incarnated into the mind and body, it can realize its state of spiritual completeness. Heaven and Earth in alchemists are now united. At the end of stage three the process is unstable and can lead to regression. The psyche needs to be awakened or materialists materially spiritualized. So that can be appropriate vehicle for the soul to incarnate into. This is the uniting of the spirit and soul with it.

In the mind and body, and it represents a final and most important alchemical marriage. This can act as a crucial Turning Point via a dream, a vision, a mystical experience, etc. So basically the illuminated Earth consciousness is after you reach solar consciousness, which is, you know, when you're having all these mystical experiences and you realize that you're one with source and you feel the unity of all of life and universal love and universal wisdom and knowledge. You understand all that is within you and you, you are source and God and God is source and you. You experienced you, you experienced this as a reality. illuminated Earth consciousness is bringing that wisdom and knowledge into your physical being and embodying it within your physical body.

That's the last stage
