Stanza 10
As down into the world I go
Dying
Flying
Oh so slowly
Revolving and turning over end on end
Anima Mundi, the soul of the world
Do I here sink into
To reverse creations magic wheel
To know the message that it hides locked away in its eternal bosom
I look around me as all the towers weep
All mankind is still ignorant of the sacred way
They are but fools waiting to be resurrected
Look as I dance among the stones
The putrid flesh and the broken bones
Fools are always caught and by mortality to be affected
Fifty-two elements shall I take
Then with all combined
In the body
Mind
And soul
A child in my form I shall create
As we further unfold and grow we reach a seeming impasse where we need to go beyond the body and into its other realms, these realms are above us, beyond us and within us, but most of us do not know what these realms represent. This is a crucial point for the budding alchemist because if you stay here, as some people have you will stagnate and wither and die. This is the fool standing on the precipice wanting to jump but having a fear to do so, but jump you must. Even with the broken bones of others who have jumped before in sight, you still must take the risk and attempt to fly into the world, you may surprise yourself, and develop wings and soar into the past/present/future of your truth. All the so called cautionary tales that stop progress here can be seen as blockages on the way, there are a billion theories and ideas and whole philosophies based on the concept of not jumping off. But the child approaches the precipice with an open eye and heart and casually jumps into the unknown thus expanding their own consciousness and awareness.
Exercise # 10……… I want you to find at least five philosophies or belief systems, in which caution or denial is advised before the abyss. Ask yourself why? Why is it that these teachings want to stop you from following the passion of the heart? I can tell you it’s basically because the ignorant and the foolish follow the thinking, whereas the wise one and the wise fool follow the heart. Remember thinking can be modified and adapted, or abused. But what you feel, is real, even if it’s a fantasy, your feeling will tell you it is real and if you then follow what you feel, to the letter, without waver, without question it will and must put you in the position of the right place, at the right time, with the right people and everything should fall into place. This is I believe the basic and eternal energy behind the universe.

...hmmm, this is a trick question, right?
((seriously)),
You name a religion and it'll tell you STOP - Particularly - well, most denominations of Christianity ...
But for those who have seen the kids film Fern Gully, perhaps will understand why sometimes it is better not to.
Even evil works for good...
Enjoyed this post, the most..
probably timing... hope to sychronise ours again soon too...
Cheerio,
