July/August 2023 Alchemical Voice

There is a purpose in your life, even of your life.
You are just not completely aware of it.
It is important to not get stuck, to not draw
conclusions on “wrong” set of presuppositions.
Assumptions can be a dangerous thing, even push
you into a quagmire of incompatible expressions
such as “isn’t it?”
Clarity is not necessarily “to know” but to see
increasingly more of the picture, to understand
that there are signs and indications, to be able to
phrase the ad hoc questions and issues. It is to be
able to map out the area around you in order to
find directions.
For me personally, writing, painting and spiritual
ceremony is a cocktail that will lead forward,
regardless of what direction that may be. That is
my clarity as of now. You, dear reader, need to
find your own clarity.
If there was more time...
If I had one more hour today, or at least a fraction
of it, I would use it to feel. Thinking is an
overrated endeavour and mostly leads to
confusion and headache. So I would spend my
extra time by noticing and feeling. What colour is
the grass outside the window? Do crows have
names?
Time and space are chimeras of the inventive
human mind.
We cannot stand not understanding the world
around us, so we invented “time” and “space”.
Regrettably, an extra hour is also a chimera,
quickly lost in the hubbub of the bewilderment of
daily life.
For me therefore, an extra hour would be
something I could store, like a parcel of energy
saved in my account in the Spiritual Bank. When
withdrawn, it would translate into inspiration,
clarity, focus, freedom and creative expansion
beyond the limits of three dimensional existence.
