With Paracelsus, #Jung held that in human life we possess two sources of #Gnosis, or salvific knowledge. One of these is Lumen Dei, the light proceeding from the unmanifest Godhead, the other is Lumen Naturae, the light hidden in matter and the forces of nature. While the Divine Light may be discerned and appreciated in revelation and in the mystery of the Incarnation, the Light of Nature needs to be released through alchemy before it can become fully operative. God redeems humanity, but nature needs to be redeemed by human alchemists, who are able to induce the process of transformation which alone is capable of liberating the light imprisoned in physical creation. The cosmos, according to Paracelsus, contains the divine light or life, but this holy essence is enmeshed in a mechanical trap, presided over by a kind of demiurge, named by Paracelsus Hylaster (from hyle, matter, and astrum, star). The cosmic spider-god has spun a web within which the light, like an insect, is caught, until the alchemical process bursts the web. The web is none other than the consensus reality composed of the four elements of earth [πŸœƒ], water [πŸœ„], fire [πŸœ‚] and air [🜁], within which all creatures exist. The first operation of alchemy therefore addresses itself to the breaking up (torturing, bleeding, dismembering) of this confining structure and reducing it to a condition of creative chaos (massa confusa, prima materia). From this, in the process of transformation, the true, creative binaries emerge and begin their interaction designed to bring about the coniunctio or alchemical union. In this ultimate union, says Jung, the previously confined light is redeemed and brought to the point of its ultimate and redemptive fulfillment. (Stephan A. Hoeller: C. G. Jung and the Alchemical Renewal.) image

Many thanks to the kind soul who just sent me some sats πŸ™ Using amethyst and wallet of satoshi I sometimes have a hard time figuring out who it was that sent. Something to do with notifications I guess. Am I the only one? #asknostr

After 30+ years of obsolescence, trying to put together my childhood lego models (1980s). Held safe in my mom's custody, thankfully the instruction books are still there. Most pieces are also there still. A piece missing here or there actually adds to the charm, as well as the discoloration of the white plastic. Finding a long-lost piece in the pile, needed to complete a model, is exhilarating. God bless the Danes. image
