Riding in a crucible cage on the ever turning Ferris Wheel of Karma, the spiritual warrior experiences life's lessons and is stimulated and motivated to challenge and change patterns of excessive behaviors that lead to cyclical pain and suffering. By igniting the kundalini fire at the base of the spine with the kindling wood of philosophical introspection and meditative discipline, individual characteristics are reduced to their residual components. From these personality, phoenix ashes, a more metabolically temperate life matrix emerges. The ruling planet of Dissolution is Jupiter. The color of Dissolution is Light Blue. The metal of Dissolution is Tine. The Element of Dissolution is Water. Dissolution is represented by Iron Oxide or rust. Dissolution, cleanses the cells by bathing them in the sexual genital aspect of sacred kundalini as the liver and spleen act as scouring sponges, scrubbing away residual morphogenetic blockages and toxic miasmas.
As the Dissolution
ashes disperse in the feminine waters, rational masculine resistance to
acquiring knowledge through osmosis from the oscillating, Above/Below, waves of
the universal ocean of primordial energy also disappears. By relinquishing
the need for total control, followed by willing submergence in the fluidic flow
of generative, restorative, womblike waters, the alchemist opens the treasure
chest where the keys of creativity lie rusting amongst unopened clam shells,
containing luminous pearls of wisdom.
The ruling planet of Separation is Mars. The color of Separation is Orange-Red. The Metal of Separation is Iron. The Element of Separation is Air. Separation is represented by Sodium Carbonate, a white, lakebed soda ash, Separation, purges accumulated, useless, stifling, and spurious clutter from our mind, body, and spirit, leaving the quintessence of the essential Self to radiate forth. Fresh breathe from the navel chakra releases invigorating energy which blows away the shadows of inept, incompetent, and inappropriate parental and societal mores. Clearing away the mysterious deadwood and strange undergrowth with the axes and scythes of illumination allows the Soul to once again see the forest through the trees. Once the filtration process is completed and the dregs of imposed constraints are disposed of, there is a sense of renewal, of freshness, and of new personal perspectives. The ruling planet of Conjunction is Venus. The color of Conjunction is Green. The Metal of Conjunction is Copper. The element of Conjunction is Earth. Conjunction is represented by Potassium Nitrate, or salt. Conjunction, synchronizes the often disjointed and functionally separate masculine and feminine halves of our basic beingness into a new coherent whole where enlightened intuition and empowered compassion become the hallowed byproducts of personal morphogenesis. The adept achieves the Lesser Stone, substantially enhancing consciousness and facilitating precise discernment of the stepping stones necessary for swift passage over the turbulent eddies of tenaciously held truculent belief systems.
Once the other side
of the river bank is reached, a transformative opening of the heart chakra
occurs similar, to the grounding of primordial lightening, implanting a
conductive feeling of unity with all of Earth's creatures.
