Alchemy and it's Purpose
I want to share with you the best definition of alchemy I have come across:
"Alchemy - the fullest and most precise background yet worked out for the processes of [psycho]analytical work - presents a seemingly similar motif: the extraction of spirit from matter and then their reunion."
~ James Hillman in 'Senex & Puer'
'Grace' - a seeing of our true nature as undivided from the Whole(y) - is often gifted, without any pursuit of "en.lightenment(e)", to those who walk in shadow; to those who are suffering and in despair. Whilst miraculous, beautiful and empowering, at one and the same time the experience poses a massive threat to the ego.
"True philosophers make dying their profession, and... to them of all men is death least alarming"
~ Plato, quoting Socrates, in Edinger's 'The Mystery of the Conjunctio'.

"... I want you to see where your beliefs conflict with each other ... Be aware of the contents of your conscious mind. ...
The beliefs are not buried, unless you believe that they are. ..You are free conscious beings ... You will learn to be joyful conscious beings...Your events, your lives, your experiences, are caused by your present beliefs. Change the beliefs and your life changes."

As a teenager I was so depressed that each day felt like a chore. My first waking thought always seemed to be, “No.”
Just….no.
Happy people irritated me. You know the ones - the people who can see the bright side to everything. The ones who smile a lot, regardless of whatever else is going on. 😉
I really hated those folks. I had a job where I worked in this bar & restaurant where they used to sing and dance sometimes. I was just bussing tables, so I didn’t participate. Would have quit if they tried to make me do that. But there was this one bartender who was always nice to me. She asked me many times why I didn’t smile. She’d tell me to cheer up. I didn’t take offense bc I knew she meant well, but I had no fucking idea how to “cheer up”. I was sad.
Pretty much all the time. I had headaches and developed TMJ (jaw) problems. I also would periodically sprain my ankles, which I see now was related to the overall picture, as well.
Anyway, if I had known that I had the power to be happy and to change my experience of the world, it would have changed many things for me back then. But I didn’t. And all the things that did happen, were absolutely serving a purpose. So I don’t regret them. I’m thankful for what I went through and for what I learned.
But, honestly, it’s only now as I approach 50 that I am able to truly see why I was so fucking sad and to begin to sort through the tangled web of repressed feelings from my childhood and, frankly, well into my adulthood.
I’m not even sure why I’m telling you all of this today. Just seems like maybe someone out there needs to know that I know what it feels like to not be positive about things. I know how it feels to be at the bottom of the well and have no idea how to get out.
I did not get to be one of those annoyingly happy people by some magical allotment of good genes and a sparkling personality. I had to find it. And sometimes I still fall into that well. Even knowing what I know now, because it can be very challenging to break all of those ingrained patterns of thought and behavior. But I do know how to climb out. And THAT makes all the difference.
I’m human.
I’m not special.
Well, I AM special…
But so are you.
And I’d like to help you understand that if you’ll let me.
If anyone would like a short consultation with me to see if you think I can help, let me know in the comments.
In Love,
—TR ✨💕✨

“Here you must forego the idea of perfection and mastery, for those are obsessions. Those are ideas in the mind. If you are truly responding to the power and presence of Knowledge within you, then you will realize you must forego these things. You do not know what mastery is. You do not know what perfection is. These things must be shown to you over time.”
“The assumptions you have made based upon the values of your culture or your religion, well, God will take you beyond them to a greater understanding. But you must be willing to go. And when you go, you realize you really do not understand. What you thought you knew, what you thought was correct, now you are not sure.”

Who’s got a great protocol or life hack for dealing with mold toxicity?
And yes, I’m fully aware of how complicated of an issue this is.
Truly looking for some fresh info on the subject.

If you can find the courage to face whatever comes your way with an open, unguarded Heart, you will see magic happen.
I know it’s scary. And I also know it’s hard to even understand exactly what that means. But if you set the intention to do it and you innerstand that any form of falsity or disguise is actually a protection — put in place by you, then you can begin to let that go.
The more you practice being authentically you, the easier it gets.
First step might be to just begin to notice when you are changing what you’d like to say to suit whatever company you’re in. Or maybe it’s feeling like you have to dress a certain way or do your hair or makeup in order to be “presentable” enough to go out. Maybe noticing that you constantly cross your arms in front of your chest or that you choose not to do things you are interested in out of fear of looking foolish or of failing.
Here’s something to think about… failure is not a real thing.
There is only the idea of failure. In actuality, “failing” is just finding out that you need to go a different way. And in that light, nothing is a failure, it’s just a signpost. But we’ve been taught to take that on as a label and it’s loaded with shame and guilt.
If you “failed” at school, that was your first lesson in fear, shame, guilt and humiliation. In fact, even if you DIDN’T fail, the threat of that humiliation was always there. You were being controlled whether you “succeeded” or “failed”.
See how deep this goes?
You weren’t meant to live in fear.
You really, really weren’t.
Lift your head.
No more bowing.
No more Fear.

Stand, child.
For you are not a slave.
Stand and hold your heart open.
Do not let the world convince you that you are in danger.
Any danger you encounter falls away with the breath of your belief in Me.
It matters not what you call Me, just that you believe - without fear of reprisal for what that looks like on the outside.
Or the inside.
That fear would keep you small and separate — keep you in the dream of distortions.
And I did not make you small.
You needn’t concern yourself with the words,
or the stories.
You know Me because I am within you and always have been. Accept Me the way you accept the existence of your Heart, or your skin. I am such a part of you that you couldn’t separate yourself if you tried.
It’s all actually very simple.
Can you feel Me?
Do you Know that I exist?
Then that is all you need know. And all you need believe.
And even if you didn’t, I would still welcome you home when it was time.
The rules that you’ve been taught are human-born. I did not make them for you.
And I do not enforce them.
Why would I?
I love you without condition.
Without parameters.
Of ANY sort.
Do not expect Me to discipline you. That teaches you nothing but obedience, and it serves no real purpose.
But, ah, when you become the Master of yourself, and you choose to use that to brighten the world — to come closer to all of Creation, you will see I have given you a gift.
And you will understand.
