SEPARATIO: Alchemical separatio is the skill of sorting out your mind.

You separate what belongs to you—your complexes, habitual triggers, and painful memories--from what is happening in the world around you.

In the laboratory of your life, you distinguish present triggers from older wounds; and literal facts from symbolic meanings.

This is part of your essential self-ordering instinct. As you bring more and more of yourself into conscious awareness, a new sense of calm will tell you you’re on the right path.

Join us and learn how to gain the profound clarity necessary on the path of individuation.

👁️🌌LUCID DREAMING refers to an ego state in which we are dreaming, but regain full self-awareness.

Being awake in the dream world can be useful, but imposing too rigid an agenda can also undermine the dream maker’s attempts to educate and help us.

Each dream is crafted to incrementally expand our awareness and acceptance of unconscious factors we need in order to grow.

When we wake inside a dream, we can lose track of that important attitude and may instead use the dream as our playground.

If we can achieve a non-grasping clarity, however, lucidity can deepen our inner work by enabling us to engage dream figures with the full measure of our curiosity.

😈 SHADOW, EVIL AND INDIVIDUATION: Jung's View of the Devil.

Join us this week as we circumambulate The Devil in honor of Halloween.

The devil archetype carries three qualities: it promotes be***al violence, it tries to convince us that the material world is the only reality, and it fools us into thinking we can spiritually ascend through intellect alone.

On a personal level, it gathers our disowned infernal traits—envy, rage, greed, and the wish to dominate —and seduces us into believing those qualities are virtues.

Once we face our own devilishness and grant it a symbolic form, we can assume a choiceful stance.

Lacking that, we try to evacuate our own evil by projecting it onto others and then punishing them.

As Jungians, we understand that our inferior function will first present as an imp.

Still, with kind concern and a thoughtful approach, it can transform into an uncanny ally that rescues us from malignant innocence.
