spiritual alchemy, fermentation

Thread: The Seven Stages of Life Alchemy By Apollo Illuminaughty


I'm sure you've seen this before, it has a good description imo, this stage is definitely not fun. You will grow as a result.

I will take a look at the thread, but I'm just looking for personal experiences here

thanks

5. Fermentation: In biochemistry, ‘fermentation’ refers to the process of oxidizing organic compounds (changing their oxidation state). Examples of products of fermentation are beers and wines. In spiritual alchemy, fermentation has to do with a new stage in the process of transformation in which so-called higher energies begin to be tapped in to. The first four stages all dealt with the energies of the personality (and its remnants), but with fermentation we are beginning to access the energies of the higher dimensions (or subtle inner planes, depending on how we view it).

Fermentation occurs in two parts, the first being Putrefaction. In biology, putrefaction refers to the breakdown or decomposition of organic material by certain bacteria. Spiritually, this refers to a kind of inner death process in which old, discarded elements of the personality are allowed to rot and decompose. It is sometimes referred to as the dark night of the soul, and can involve difficult mental states such as depression. In the Tarot, this phase is represented by the Death card, which denotes the death of an aspect of our lower self that no longer is needed.

Putrefaction is followed by a stage called Spiritization. Here, we undergo a type of rebirth resulting from the deep willingness to let-go of all elements of us that no longer serve our spiritual evolution. This marks the true beginning of inner initiation, of entry into a ‘higher’ life in which our best destiny has a chance to unfold.

Visit the interior of the earth, and by rectifying you will find the hidden stone which is the true medicine.

A proper invocation is key (know thy gods)
proper elements must be used to avoid side-affects
proper gnosis

its very personal and quite dangerous if you aren't prepared
you can go insane
i have of scars over the years

mind metamorphosis
let the old nigredo die off & let the new albedo ressurect

illumination awaits you
