WE ~ Wondrous Eternal ~ an ever present ALCHEMY...

Ascension

    Love

        Creation

            Harmony

                Exchange

                    Manifestation

                        Yielding ... 

to Presence, to Self, 

    to the call of BEING.

Man in freedom so born is he

Yet shackled he sets himself to be

Oppression dark upon heart yet be lain

The echoes of emotion still held profane

The mind to silence daunting echoes of time past

And free the self from binding chains cast

Memory called to free mind, heart and soul

Alchemy to ring its welcomed toll.

Image: The Rebis (from the latin res bina, meaning double matter) is the end product of the alchemical "great work." After one has gone through putrefaction and purification, separating opposing qualities, those qualities are united once more in what is sometimes described as the divine hermaphrodite, a reconciliation of spirit and matter, a being of both male and female qualities as indicated by the two heads within a single body.

Ancient wisdom, the alchemic quest, 

BEING in its ultimate expression...

this the APOGEE Paradigm™ in present day practice.
