Alchemy 2

When I was a child and first heard of the idea of alchemy it stirred something within me. Whether this was a piece of a past life or a picture of my future I cannot say, for I know now they are one.

There are only 2 Alchemical processes. Separation, and Unification. Which do you use more?

Demiurge

There is a concept in Gnosticism of the Demiurge. The ignorant creator (distinct from the true Godhead) who locks us into material reality. Perhaps what this Demiurge is, is the belief our mind creates that this physical sensory data and informational plane is the only way to look at reality, while on another level of existence we are just a field of vibratory fluctuations. If this is the case then next is to question what makes a vibration what it is but what it vibrates in relation to?

A Theory of Dreams

New research suggests DNA is not only for coding proteins but also part of the human memory and information storage.

If this is true then it may suggest our DNA carries memories of past lives and spiritual memories.
When we go to sleep, our unconscious takes over. DNA goes to work healing us up physically. Perhaps DNA also does karmic healing, and thus creates dream visions we experience. This would fall in line with other psychological theories that dreams are for emotional satisfaction and junk filtering.

Qi

Qi is a term in chinese medicine for life energy. Science has yet to validate it's existence, yet it's very real. Think of Qi as the kind of energy your body is always circulating to keep homeostasis. An interaction between conscious observer, sensory data, and electricity from neurons and nerves. In the active or Sympathetic Nervous System mode of processing we tune this out. But when the Parasympathetic Nervous System or relaxed brain is engaged you become aware of a subtle relaxation energy. Qi may be sensed as magnetism, tingling, warmth, or even electric impulse. Qi is that energy that is always there that says "You're alive" that we often don't take time to notice.
              Lets go deeper into it. The Earth and plants and general environment all around us are also performing homeostasis on a larger scale. There is a background life energy running through all forms actually. This energy does exist, but it's up to you whether you let it into yourself.
               One of the goals of Qi exercise practitioners is actually transcending self and attaining the Tao. At this stage you realize you are actually the energy in the earth, the sky, and the plants and only your mind energy made you think you were just the body energy. Of course you are your body, but the process that made your body, environment, life and spirit is part of the immortal workings of the universe. The Tao.
               

Way of the Big Bang

If you take the big bang story as true then there are 4 interacting forces that made everything, perhaps it is through the force of non-force, known as Tao that those forces came to be.

Past Lives

Some wonder who they were in a past life,
I wonder who I was not.

Heart

I Speak from the heart,
because my heart is everywhere.
