The Seven Stages of Life Alchemy By Apollo Illuminaughty

They are:

Calcination

This is our first taste of trauma or challenges that shakes us to the core and moves us from our rooted routine order. This is known as the burning ground. or the earthquake to our known foundation. It can be a near death experience, a broken heart, losing a loved one, a illness, a upset ,disaster, or other loss of financial, emotional or physical nature. It could be being a victim of injustice , or even being the perpetrator of the injustice, We start to question life and ourselves. Our eyes begin to open.

Dissolution

We look back at our childhood and past and see if it was all worth it or if there was any place we fell short. We look at our upbringing and parents and we look at how we viewed society. We start to question our securities and insecurities we felt back then. This is the time where you may admit to yourself that you were immature, foolish, or that your parents were not perfect. Society and leaders that you may have looked up to before , now seem imperfect as well. Or if you were bitter or let down with your past from the get go, you may now be practicing forgiveness and feeling more at peace.

Separation

We begin to be tempted to take a different path then what we were accustomed to. You desire something new within. You start to wonder if there is a NEW YOU, or a NEW WORLD that is possible. and this is like a Fork in the Road, You fancy yourself having more choices and if taking different choices wouldve made you into a different person than where you are today. The pain and trials in the world start to affect you more deeply too. You want to become involved in something that can help change the world. You may become a outspoken champion for a reform if you never would have though of doing so previously. You start to look around at the needs of others you might not have noticed before. Compassion is a deeper feeling and concern. "Resolutions " and "possibilities" are the "IN" words of your life. You may want to change jobs, locations, or just learn something that can help change your world, your intellect and yourself. But the next step explains that you need additional assistance that just other people cant provide.

(For many on earth this may be the end of their life path. The final stages of Alchemy just happens to them at a physical level and less subtle soul level approaching their natural passing. Many have reached a mature humbleness, grace, wisdom and forgiveness with themselves and others. Even if they are spiritual, they are pleased with what they know and feel like they have lived a good enough life . Hope of Heaven , reincarnation or resurrection is sufficient)

Conjunction

You reach a spiritual need and thirst that can only be defined as obsessive or passionate. Others notice this change in you. You realize the assistance you are seeking is outside of "Us" realizing we are the BELOW and that there is the ABOVE, We finaly understand the concepts of something far more grand and higher than ourselves. and we go on this path to more spiritual understanding. We move closer to our concept of God and or Goddess. If you always believed in God you will approach new ways of experiencing thru a different religion, deeper occult layers or practices you havent tried before. We might just become more psychic, in tune, sensitive or mystical. We may look for more spiritual meaning in the natural world or the astrological world as well. In the Emerald Tablet it says, "That which is Below corresponds to that which is Above, and that which is Above corresponds to that which is Below, to accomplish the miracles of the One Thing." New Spiritual pursuits and path is indeed undertaken or felt which is often different than the creed or beliefs we were raised with, if any.

Fermentation or putrefaction

This is called the ground of "Trial and doubt". After the Spiritual High there is a spiritual low. We begin to panic and feel unworthy or inadequate, especially if undesirable traits in ourselves re-surface after our enlightenment. The feelings of new spiritual love cannot be kept up as we first felt. We see the left over shadows of ourselves we do not like, but we must admit it, embrace it, even if it gets us down. Jung speaks of embracing the shadow. We backtrack to try and understand where this darkness originated within our selves. We also have to be careful not to be judgemental or critical and harsh with others that might not have even experienced "part one" of our path and have little idea what we are going through. We feel grumpy overall. But once noticed and acknowledged in Grace and humbleness we can move forward

Distillation

We start seeing the solution ahead. The curtains part to see the Light shine and the person emerges with a shiny new confidence and vision. They have made the confessionals within them selves and have come up with the solution to overcome. The Material dross and attachments of negative traits in our personality is washed clean. Outmoded beliefs are let go. We accept that others are on different levels and that their own time will come. We are parted to take the Path of the Fool card (the path of tarot is the ouroboros. What some think is the beginning is actually the end, is actually the beginning. ) With just the clothes on our back, our knapsack with just a few belongings, off we go. This is our liberated pysche that looks at the world with new awareness. We realize our inner responsibility and true potentials. We feel at one with the world, while not being burdened by it. Our Light Qoutient is High

Coagulation

This is the FULFILLMENT of "Consummatum Est". The Person is balanced between Yin and Yang. Light and Dark. The Potentials of the Universe lays before the New Prince or Princess.. He has conquered his own dragon and both the brother and sister (right and left brained thinking. Intelligence with compassion, ) kill the beast. (lower man) They are reunited and a New Master is enthroned. Spirit and Soul has joined. They have ascended to the Divine that is God or God-hood. From Ashes rose the Phoenix. You have now earned the name of "Love " . You realize the pattern purpose, and plan of life and all of creation. You realize its form , structure and order has been with you all along. You are the Master of yourself and your domain. With the Universe you are "One".
