The Subconscious Rising-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Underground By Lindsey Stirling6/26/2019
I've been covering some weighty topics so I want to share this music video with everyone. I've pointed out in entertainment (most notably Captain Marvel and Dark Phoenix) and astrologically this is what seems to be occuring on the level of the Collective Unconscious.
This music video is filled with so many good symbols it's pretty amazing. I love Lindsey Stirling because she compeltely unique, totally involved with the creation of her videos and incredibly talented. There is absolutely no one that can compare. She is so in tune with the Collective Consciosness it is uncanny. She is very Christian from my understanding so all of this must be subconscious archetypes. The Triangle, The Square, And The Circle The Triangle is a conducter of energy. Interestingly, you can see Lindsey's breath as though she's cold. In particular a pryamid that points upward is the evolution of Spirit upward. In the sacred image of the Merkaba one triangle points down representing the involution of Spirit into Matter and one points upward representing the Evolution - or Ascension- of Spirit out of matter. The Square, is the very same symbol I spoke about in my last YouTube Video in Travelers Notes where I shared how I do Shadow Work. In that video I showed a modified version of the Devil Card, the first Tarot card depicting the Path of the Seeker, as a square with two people chained to it. In this, however, which inovkes the same idea...a male (Lindsey's Intellect) and the female (Lindsey's Intuition) are trapped within the square. The Circle is the Subconscious. Here Lindsey is dressed completley in Silver depicting her higher self. While curious it doesn't seem to know what's happening. The Tower The Tower, of course, represents the Tower Card in Tarot. This is the Ego that has been built up with a lot of labels and other ideas. While it seems as though it is a structure that will last forever that's not true. The Music The Music is what allows Lindsey, as herself, to control the Square Conscious and the Circle- the Subconscious. The music first awakens the couple in the square and then wakes up the Higher Self in the Circle. The Gymnast This represents the heart. There is simply a beam of light and the gymnast. The perspective changes so the viewer isn't sure if the gymnast is simply suspended in air. The Music Continues As the song goes on the perspective is shifted and we see that Lindsey is actually in multiple squares. She's just standing at the upper corner of that square making it look like she's in a triangle. Lightning appears as she continues to play, again, invoking The Tower Card. We're shown the couple in the square trying to get out and growing extra arms invoking the image of Hindu Goddess Kali the Destroyer. They are no longer synchronized. One rests as the other is active. We are also shown the Higher Self walking curiously in circles alought unaware. This is representive of the ingorant state of the Samsara cycle of life and death that the soul is stuck within. The Circle Falls The Triangle light on top of the Tower blows out and the square goes out as well knocking off the circle. However, the Higher Self has a bow and arrow. She fires the arrow. The Bow is our Soul's Will and the Arrow is Intention. The term 'Sin' literally translates into 'missing the mark' and it is an archery term. We're shown that the gymanst catches the circle. The circle is shown engulfed in darkness. Lindsey sags in her restraints as though all of the energy has left her, the gymanst sits in the cirlce like a swing forlorn, the Higher Self is blinded by all of the rain and the couple in the box are sitting back to back...not even seeing eye to eye...as though all hope is lost. The End Then the female in the box reaches out to the male lifting up his head as though to make him see. Lindsey looks around realizing she's not dead and begins to play again. Now the couple is working in unison with one another. The restraints come off of Lindsey. The Circle is revealed as the clouds are pushed away and the Higher Self is shown within a globe of light that looks like the moon. The lighting of the square changes so that it now looks like a tunnel with a way out. The Gymanst looks as though she's being retracted upwards. Lindsey turns as though to escape the triangle. The multiple triangles now look like a track with multiple triangles over it and the viewer is flown a long it like a ship taking flight. Conclsuion This is a beautiful video depicting the enegies of right now. I really don't know what else to say. I hope you enjoy it and I think it's a wonderful validation of seeing the Rise of the Subconscious in the Collective.

I wanted to create this blog to go into a concept that I partly cover in the Alchemy process of Fermentation. However, it also goes very well with the Sephiroth of Tiphareth...and even the concept of Shadow Work. The Square represents male activity. Usually, our plots of cultivated farmland are formed in squares. This is no coincidence, as Laird Scranton has shown that there was a civilization process given to mankind in Ancient Times after the Flood...and they taught how to create fields in squares. The Square also represents the Cube of Space/Time/Saturn. I've shared how this process was the result of the Fall from Grace experienced by Adam Kadmon as described in the Kabbalah creating chaos in the cosmos...and us. Creating these squares of cultivated farmland is also a metaphor for how to cultivate our mind. Our minds start off in a chaotic state and it's up to us to get it into order. No power outside of us will do this for us...we do have a lot of help but just like a garden at home...we need to cultivate our minds in order to produce a fruitful mind. I was originally going to use the Garden as the metaphor for the final Alchemy YouTube video...but I used a different one when I decided to share this blog for the Sephiroth of Tiphareth. There is the hint that the Garden of Eden represents our Consciousness on our Personal (microcosmic) level. Remember the Jewish tradition is that the Torah- the first five books of the bible- are also allegorical and filled with universal Archetypes. Ever aspect of it can be interpreted 70 ways. Just as the snake represented desire that turned into fear that was struck low as the result of defying the Creator... The Creator told Adam that because he chose to eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge... "Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your brow will you have food to eat until you return to the ground from which you were made. For you were made from dust, and to dust you will return." Genesis 3:17 - 3:19 We can consider our personal Garden of Consciousness as the Cube of Tiphareth. That's our little plot of land we've separated from the One Creator. All of us need to work our little plot so that we can help restore the Order of Creation one field at a time. Poor Soil We start off with Poor Soil when we begin the Path of the Seeker. This soil is rocky sand and the only things that can grow in this soil are stunted weeds. We need to start working with our consciousness so that we can produce the results that we want...not material desires that can be bought with silver or gold but spiritual results. This is represented so well by the description of the mind as starting off with Lead. Burning The Weeds We have to start off by burning the weeds in our garden. These weeds came up as a result of the programming/conditioning. They're not growing intentionally and not usually what we want. Usually, when left wild like this, there are too many to just pull out. This can happen by choice or by a lightning strike. In Yosemite National Park they used to put out the fires that were caused by lightning strikes. They thought that fire endangered the ancient trees. What they discovered was that the redwoods were not propagating. Only scrub trees were thriving in that environment. That's because in order for the pine cones of the redwoods to open...they had to be burned. Without the fire there were no new Redwoods. The redwoods had adapted to their environment and were dependent on the lightning storms to reproduce. By suppressing the fires the Forest Service was doing more harm then good. This is the same thing that happens to us. When we fight the fires of transformation our garden becomes overgrown with weeds. We have the choice to do the personal work to pull or clear them out ourselves...but if we remain attached to Physical Material Reality there will be a lightning bolt that throws us into a Dark Night of the Soul...provoking us to walk the Path of the Seeker. When the farmers burn their fields they make them more fertile. They do this in the Fall for a reason. This is depicted in both the Calcination Stage of Alchemy. Winter Watering The next stage of constructing our own personal Garden of Consciousness is to let the rain fall. This cleansing period is necessary and helps remove any traces of the weeds that remains in the ashes while transforming what does remain into more fertile soil. This emotional cleansing is necessary to let go of all of those conditioned beliefs that didn't serve us. This is the Dissolution Stage of Alchemy. Removing The Rocks As spring approaches we need to get the ground ready for receiving the seeds of what we do want in our life. This requires that we help the soil become ready for receiving. At this point the weeds that grew up in our lives, the programming/conditioning we know we don't want are gone but the more stubborn thoughts and habits that we have remain. Unlike the more perishable weeds the rocks are a little bit more stubborn and take a lot more to remove. That's why we have to get out the sifter. Depending on the terrain of our mind- desert, valley, river bed, mountain or any number of other terrains....this process can take a lot of time. Sometimes small rocks can appear like sand but they are not good soil so we have to practice discernment when identifying the bellies that do not serve us. This the Separation stage of Alchemy. Step 1: Preparing The Soil Now that only soil remains in our garden it's time to get the process of changing the soil. Currently, the soil is sandy and unproductive. There is a reason that vegetation doesn't grow along the water line of the ocean. How do we change the soil of our mind into something productive? We need a little bit of fertilizer to get the process started. Here we come to the composting stage I described in the Alchemy videos. We start a pile of left over vegetable scraps- banana peels, tomato cores, the cores of apples, Strawberry stems and orange peels. We add in some grass clippings and a little bit of dung...horse manure was one of my aunts favorite. I prefer left over coffee and espresso grounds from Starbucks (it's free!). All of these left overs are essentially free but we need to put them into our garden. These fruits of our labor that we have already enjoyed will help prepare for the next season. Then we cover the pile with cardboard to help keep in the moisture if it's not in a bin. If it's in a breathable bin we put the top down. This is conjunction...we are recombining the elements we do want (fruit and vegetables...because we ant a bountiful life) with the dirt to produce better soil. The Dung in life is valuable indeed! Step 2: Letting The Compost Do It's Job As the birds prepare their nests and life starts to unthaw from winter our job is very simple. We let things sit as they are so that Mother Nature can do her job. She's busy with bugs and other processes that turn the waste and dung into fertile soil. At this point we don't do anything ourselves...it's a natural process. We may be tempted to take a little look to see what's going on. We'll see a mess and depending on where it is in the process the compost may smell. What we can't see is the productive activity set into place by the joining of all of these elements. Chemicals are being produced and worms help to digest the material and produce their own dung. We just really need to stay out of the process and let the natural process of transformation work. Eventually the soil will turn into the velvety beautiful black soil in which plants can grow like the soil in the picture above. This is the Fermentation stage of Alchemy. Watching Our Garden Grow Those first few sprouts are so exciting! I can remember when this butterfly shaped cantaloupe blossom first came up...all those little baby new plants were just adorable. There was so much potential...so many reasons to be excited...how big would they grow? How much fruit would they produce? Every day was filled with wonder as I walked outside to check on those first few sprouts. Yet, we must be mindful in our Garden. We will need to cultivate these seeds as they sprout. Sometimes bugs or birds will come along and try to eat them. We need to find a non-harmful way to deter these hanger on's in our lives that only want to be there during the good times and take for themselves. We might over water one area by focusing on it too much while neglecting another. We need to keep an eye out for rot on the leaves or brown spots. With a little bit of love and action our Garden Consciousness will grow exponentially. We will have friends and family we can count on that we can call for help. We will have the resources to enjoy the fruit of our labors when we want and how we want. The best part is when we can turn to serve those fruits and vegetables to our loved ones. Gracing them with the benefits of our labor is the greatest gift that we can give. They can then learn to cultivate their own gardens so they can serve what they choose to produce to us and their other loved ones. I may choose to provide tomatoes to the table and my husband might choose blueberries...each is different but just as delightful. This is how we can create a bountiful life for everyone. This is the Coagulation Stage of Alchemy. Conclusion
Yes, that's mean holding a giant squash from my very first attempt at creating a home garden! The squash that I produced were huge! Well, I hope you enjoyed this metaphor for how to cultivate the Garden of Your Consciousnesses. This 7 stage process is not always easy...just as gardening is not always easy. You can't sit on the couch watching television and expect a garden to create itself. This isn't the automatic state of our Garden. We have to go through the process of cultivating our garden and ensuring that it grows what we want it to produce. This perfectly possible but it takes dedication,working with nature (or the Creator if you prefer to put it that way) and love.

I can say, after having cultivated my own consciousness that I have reaped the fruits of my labor. I am proof positive of this process working. I went from being very chaotic mentally and very negative (those two states of mind go together). |
