ALCHEMY in the here and now
Alchemy is the science of transformation. Transformation of human
energy states. The metaphor of turning "base metal into gold" was a
metaphor for transforming basic human survival energies into higher
states of consciousness. To facilitate this science of happening a
certain environment is needed. All growth is dependent upon the
environment of nature itself, eg: food, water, light, protection
etc. The metaphysics of inner nature and environment are no
different.
Hellinger gives us the orders, maps, pathways and environmental
secrets to transform our energies into a higher quality of being.
Alchemy is knowing the order and priority of how energy flows towards
love. The secrets of alchemy are exactly what constellation work is
all about.
"HOW DO WE GROW? How are we led from the
narrow to the wider, from limitation to more completeness-into
completion? The growth process works in a manner whereby we move from
rejecting and refusing to integrate something to integrating it and
giving it its proper place. Love does this."

Transformation or "alchemy" follows the following scientific equation.
AWARENESS + TOTAL ACCEPTANCE =
TRANSFORMATION
For example water becomes vapour (transforms) when it boils(100
degrees). The intensity and totality of heat creates a new element.
Transformation is dependent upon a whole and complete movement
inclusive of polarity and all duality. Our total acceptance of what
is as it is creates an inner fire of transformation that purifies
us. Alchemy is a path of purification.
"The Path of Purification.
The path toward the spiritual is a path of purification. On this
path we let go of many ideas, especially of many ideas of power.

Alchemy and transformation are a life, death, life process. I heard
Hellinger say last week that
"life feeds on death."
To ponder past secrets, dogmas, religions, histories, schools of
thought and sciences, seems to me to be an act of "life feeding on
death." Of course one can also have too much to eat and suffer the
consequences. Having too much to eat may be born out of the fear of
not knowing (being hungry for knowledge and answers) the fear of not
having enough, or greed for more. Perhaps not feeling safe with the
unknown and the mystery in the emptiness. Positively perceived, the
desire to eat too much can indicate an intense thirst and hunger for
fullness, wholeness or completeness and these are very powerful
homeostatic spiritual impulses. "Having too much to eat leaves one
with an intense desire to lighten up, empty out and lose that which
weighs heavy within!" There are times to "feed on death" and there
are times to move beyond death into a celebration of life. This
movement of the spirit-mind?? What is the safety in this path? Pure
trust. Pure trust, that is all.
