What did Frodo do? From an energetic perspective...

I also wondered about this

My interpretation is that the ring represents the dark side of the feminine

Destroying the ring allows the light side of the feminine to be expressed

Without the feminine the masculine is powerless and vice versa

The rest of the book is the light side of the masculine expressed

Frodo represents the child rejecting the power of the dark side of both feminine and masculine

Welcome, TheFierceOne... your thoughts are interesting. Why do you see the ring as Feminine? Sauron appears hyper-masculine in the books, but all interpretations are interesting, and I suspect you have a part of the truth.

Frodo rejected the dark power, through his innocence and loyalty to the cause. He then went on to fully transmute the evil.

Now where is Mt Doom? The fires of the human heart, that's all I've got.

Hi Daozen!

I love the books and the films. So much metaphysics

From my perspective Mt Doom is where Sauron resides, he exists in the “nothingness” aspiring to “beingness” a space that you and I recognize as what is the spark the fire of life itself

Just like in Star Wars there must be balance in the force!

One can be destroyed by fire or made by it

I suspect that if the stories continued, a new darkness would have appeared to balance dark and light again

Transmutation of the evil, Frodo took on a heavy price, knowledge of evil and would carry that forever

Those of us who work with energy consciously understand this burden all too well

I saw the ring as feminine through my intuition

Then I started to contemplate further and found the answer in marriage itself

The feminine longs to be united with the masculine in marriage but must wait until the approach by the masculine

As Sauron grew in power the closer HE came to the ring

Thread: Earth and the lord of the rings

*

I gotta sleep now, but I always saw Arwen and Aragorn's marriage as an alchemical union of the divine feminine and masculine. We can achieve the same through meditation and good living/friendship.

We shall talk another day!!!

For now I must dream...

Good night!

Perhaps I'm not thinking as high level as you, but here is my perspective.

Good, everyday people have to rise out of their obscurity sometimes. They have to wrest power from the wicked. And then they have to let go of the power.

Yes I agree, the divine masculine and feminine is represented by Arwen and Aragorn

Their marriage only expressed once the the false masculine and feminine (Sauron and the ring) are defeated

The difference between the false feminine and Arwen is that the ring is drawn to power and seeks it, the divine feminine waits for love patiently

Sweet dreams Daozen!

Hey... I dunno.. we should think on all levels. All altitudes are valid. And yes, that is a powerful reading of LOTR.

This thread rocked.
