Nutrients for Great Work
30/10/08 07:33
It is said that in performing the Great Work, all your experiences, talents and learned capabilities will be put to good use. If you do seek the Kingdom of Heaven here and now with all your heart, you will have food in your belly and a warm place to sleep - adequate supplies for your worthy works will be given you in measured abundance.
It seems to me that the old alchemist's insistence upon living green veggies as essential nutrients for the Great Work has something. Daily now I'm harvesting veggies and slicing the greens thinly. My salad last night had Slices of beet and turnip. Thinly sliced broccoli leaves, Chinese cabbage, arugula, rucola, tomatoes and bell pepper, all fresh picked just before dinner. Winter salads need to be sliced thinly as they are otherwise very hard to chew. They need to be sturdy to survive the freezing nights. I don't cover those greens, even when it was in the low 20s. I chew my greens and tell my subconscious that I'm giving it these materials for the Great Work. And I am busying myself researching and writing on the symbols of the alchemical process each week. A small group is coloring in the symbol outlines and reading my words so I have a core group to urge me on. This "service" is giving me a study process that is yielding many wonderful insight-filled hours when the beloved symbols I've studied for so many years dance before my eyes in a bewildering display of elegance of line and form, of beauty, of multi-layered realizations of interconnections and relationships, fibonacci spirals in growth patterns on so many levels. Such are the spaces that engage my mind of late.
