There are a number of alchemical texts based on Greek Mythology, but I don't know any specifically on those themes, Maybe there is something in Michael Maier's works.

What do you think of Carl Jung's psychological interpretation of alchemy?
@AdamMcLean8 күн бұрын
I grew away from the Jungian view in the early 1980s as I found many problems with his approach. Jung used alchemy to prop up his psychological system, rather than being interested in alchemy itself.

Adam, your work is highly appreciated, spanning decades has been invaluable. Was there no European analogue to the Chinese shift from external to internal alchemy, besides the philosophical treatises? Of course, I don't refer to the psychological reinterpretations.

There was an internal or spiritual component to Western alchemy from the earliest times.

Many parts of this are also found in the illustration found in Robert Fludd's book. I suppose they are also in other books. I wonder who first came up with the illustration.

The best way to experience alchemy and its archetypal symbols is to experience the spiritual awakening (aka-Self Realization process) for one's self. Be cautious and count the cost. This is a long, arduous, and agonizing process that takes decades to complete. The Nigredo or "Regression in Service of Transcendence" phase is all about owning, facing, purging, and integrating your repressed unconscious shadow or dark side. This phase took me 23 years to complete (it's different for everyone). The next phase Albedo is when the Solar aspect and Lunar aspect of the Self (Soul) enter the sphere of consciousness. The Lunar is dead, dark, stale, depressive energy, It is exhausting. This alternates with the Solar aspect, which is literally hot like the Sun and which is golden Light. These higher energies agitate the brain and adversely impact cognition. What is actually happening in this phase is that the Soul is shedding its karma and its deepest wounds. After each release of dark energy, the Primal Wound opens and Light and energy from the Causal body enter the sphere of consciousness. This is not imagination..this is real. Human beings really are reincarnating spiritual beings and we do not originate from Earth. The Lunar and Solar alternate like this for quite awhile until they join together as One. This is Soul Realization. The Rubedo is the final stage and it is called "Integration". Here, the Higher Light and Consciousness of Spirit fill the Soul. The whole thing can take 30 years or more. I have been on this path for 25 years. As hard as it is, it is the real deal. This is real authentic spirituality and enlightenment. Peace. Apologies for posting a book but its a complex subject.

I just wanted to say how much I appreciate you recording this and how invaluable it is all these years later. Breton seems such a fascinating and important, yet incredibly frustrating figure. He brings to mind Marx, whose work is essential and necessary, but whose rigid and not entirely liberatory views contributed to the First International falling apart. Bretonic Surrealism in this way can be seen as analogous to Marxism, while the more generalised and decentralised Surrealism being akin to anarchism. I find it extremely interesting and truly baffling that Breton went to such pains to codify Surrealism, making a petulant deal about who was officially in or out of the gang, for such a revolutionary and disenthralling movement. Regardless of him seeming insufferable on the matter, particularly when it comes to the hypocrisy I have come to associate with social media crusaders (of which I am a reformed penitent) who castigate those whose views don't align with theirs, unless a bond of affection or admiration grants a figure immunity, as with Dalí and others' conscious and personal development (to the utter consternation of my autistic sense of justice), I adore his work and his conceptualisation of Surrealism as "Mad Love". I always admired Lucy Parsons’ description of anarchism and believe more of its application to the soul of Breton's Surrealist impetus: “The philosophy of anarchism is included in the word “Liberty,” yet it is comprehensive enough to include all things else that are conducive to progress. No barriers whatever to human progression, to thought, or investigation are placed by anarchism; nothing is considered so true or so certain, that future discoveries may not prove it false; therefore, it has but one infallible, unchangeable motto, “Freedom”: Freedom to discover any truth, freedom to develop, to live naturally and fully. Other schools of thought are composed of crystallized ideas-principles that are caught and impaled between the planks of long platforms, and considered too sacred to be disturbed by a close investigation. In all other “issues” there is always a limit; some imaginary boundary line beyond which the searching mind dare not penetrate, lest some pet idea melt into a myth. But anarchism is the usher of science-the master of ceremonies to all forms of truth. It would remove all barriers between the human being and natural development. From the natural resources of the Earth, all artificial restrictions, that the body might be nurtured, and from universal truth, all bars of prejudice and superstition, that the mind may develop symmetrically.” Lucy Parsons, The Principles of Anarchism (~1905-1910) Perhaps I have a bit too much of the Dada in me. I do feel an impetus to have Engels’ On Authority (1874) republished with no change beyond the cover showing him with googly eyes and the text categorised as the sensational satire it most surely is. I thoroughly look forward to continuing the course! Thanks again x
