Structuring a Higher Self from Eternal Metals.

Prometheus, stealing fire from Heaven.

Id, Latin "it", the instincts and energies in the unconscious

mind that underlie all psychological impulses. (Collins).

"The death of earth is to become water, 
and the death of water is to become air, 
and the death of air is to become fire, and reversely.

He who hears not me but the Logos

will say: All is One".  Heraclitus, 500 BCE.

Structuring a Higher Self from Eternal Metals.

Using the Tool of Promethean Fire Stolen from Heaven.

~

We have already structured a lower entity,

and inhabit consciousness, the ego identity;

there are four elemental language modes:

instinct, emotion, mind and intuition honed.

~

Biologically driven and socially conditioned,

a psychic structure and defence mechanism;

body language, feeling dialect, lexicon of ideas,

and the tongue of fire for forging Metals.

~

"I spring from earth and come out of Heaven",

top-down divine plan, bottom-up construction.

Creativity from above inspires a revelation,

climb Jacob's Ladder by libidinal sublimation.

~

We build an ego boundary, child to adult,

elemental bones that we need to flesh-out;

individuation process spanning kingdoms,

animal id, human ideation, Ideal Subjectivism.

~

Stolen fire compounds the seed and husk,

refining the id into Salt of the earth's Ash;

hermetically sealed Grail and New Skin,

Salamander puts on a pneumatic memBrane.

~

Meditation forms this thoughtless Bubble,

a detached and non-judgemental Crucible;

Salt of higher Mind or Manas for Manna;

holy Wine and Bread complete Tria Prima.

~

Inside the Observer who holds empty space,

maintaining the vacuum that nature abhors,

a diStillation process heated by secret fire,

changes water to Wine, Spirit of Mercury.

~

Silver Moon "turns to Blood", Mater's Love,

Heaven heaves the Dragon's oceanic Wave;

a quantum Sun rises as leavened Bread,

the Point of my life dawning in my Head.

~

A metallic structure in my Mind inhabited,

with the two-edged tool of fire fabricated;

creating-destroying with a symbolic tongue,

elemental atomization into higher Being.

~

Inside my sealed "Helmet of Salvation",

living fire grows the seed back into Heaven;

distills the Salty Wine that pleases a god,

id, through ego, into an Ideal flame forged.

~

Dragon~fire coalesces our mythical Pearls,

Souls, once trapped in kundalini revealed;

logical flames compounding seminal Logoi,

 Individuals made of the Tria Prima alloy.

~

Serpent symbolizes sublimation of libido,

id reaches an ultimate Identity crescendo;

collapses the Field, binding sulfurous Light,

"as below, so above" Metals fleshed-out!

~

Egyptian Gold is the Flesh of the gods,

awakened by libido's Libation of Blood;

offered-up in the Grail of higher Mind,

Eucharistic devourment beyond this world.

~*~

The four elements become the Alloy of three eternal Metals,

the Tria Prima. The archetypal trinity sits at the apex: God, the

Monad, Canvas or Page, upon which all myths, stories, dramas 

and actions are articulated; Luna, Blood Moon or Red Mercury,

the Field/Wave of universal Love, Sophia, Sapience or Wisdom; 

and their "one and only" Child of Light, the Logos of one Word.

Alchemical Tria Prima: the three metallic compounds of the higher Self.

"Mercury is the Spirit, Sulfur is the Soul, Salt the Body." (Paracelsus)

"I AM DARK AND BRIGHT; 
I SPRING FROM THE EARTH AND I COME OUT OF HEAVEN.
 I AM WELL KNOWN AND YET A MERE NOTHING.
 ALL COLOURS SHINE IN ME 

AND ALL METALS BY THE BEAMS OF THE SUN.
 I AM THE CARBUNCLE OF THE SUN." 

(THOMAS VAUGHAN, COELUM TERRAE, 1650)
