To end it and then transcend it, we must step outside of this polarity."
Taken from The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life Volume 2 by Drunvalo
Melchizedek
It is in and through our judgment that we create our own reality. This
separation and subsequent condition between God and man is a product of
the soul or ego based human. It is from this position that the entirety of
scripture is written, history, parables and patterns that will ultimately lead us
to union once again with God. He is not far away as Adam is the seed of
the spirit resident in everyman. The soul that is not "wed" (consumed by
her groom, the spirit, perfect self sacrificing love) is creating this ultimate
age of duality, a creation that is rooted in carnality. In this age man uses his
own rationale and is not "led of the spirit." This pattern is reflected in the
physical reality of human marriage. The female (SOUL) is supposed to
submit to her husband (THE SPIRIT OF GOD). Paul when exhorting
husbands and wives says that he is speaking of a mystery not necessarily
to them but speaking about CHRIST AND HIS CHURCH.
Ephesians 5:28- 28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their
own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated
his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the
church. 30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones.
31 "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined
to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." 32 This is a great mystery,
but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

Recently I have been thinking and reading a little bit about alchemy. For
those who dont know what alchemy is, I'll try to explain. I had seen the
word but never knew what it was until recently. Alchemy as defined by
Webster's below.
Alchemy: 1: a medieval chemical science and speculative philosophy
aiming to achieve the transmutation of the base metals into gold, the
discovery of a universal cure for disease, and the discovery of a means of
indefinitely prolonging life2: a power or process of transforming something
common into something special3: an inexplicable or mysterious
transmuting.
Notice the phrase speculative philosophy above meaning that this is not a
proven science to my knowledge. But there sure has been a lot of
discussion surrounding the art of turning base or non-precious metals into
something very precious, gold, and this discussion has gone on for
centuries.
*Alchemy was known as the spagyric art after Greek words meaning to
separate and to join together. Compare this with the primary dictum of
Alchemy in Latin: SOLVE ET COAGULA Separate, and Join Together.
I really started thinking about this process and what it might mean to us
given the knowledge that in Genesis 1 male and female (soul and spirit)
were not separate, male and female were together in one divine, spiritual,
immortal being. We read in this first account of creation that God created
them in His image, one being with both male and female attributes.
Genesis 1: 26 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according
to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the
birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every
creeping thing that creeps on the earth." 27 So God created man in His
own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He
created them.
Then in Genesis 2 separation took place:
Genesis 2:21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and
he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
22 Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a
woman, and He brought her to the man. 23 And Adam said: "This is now
bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman,
Because she was taken out of Man." 24 Therefore a man shall leave his
father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one
flesh. 25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not
ashamed.
I believe it was with the intent of God to separate and bring them back
together in what would be called union or marriage if you will. This marriage
is eluded to many times by Jesus Christ who was the divine pattern of
union with God. Jesus submitted his will to the will of His Father. Jesus said
in the Garden of Gethsemane, 'Nevertheless, not my will but thy will." This
separation was played out in the natural, physical patterns of male (spirit)
life beautiful. It is only life that lives and loves the one life eternal. Age is
unspiritual, mortal, ugly, unreal. Fear thoughts, pain thoughts, and grief
thoughts create the ugliness called old age. Joyous thoughts, love
thoughts, and ideal thoughts create the beauty called youth. Age is but a
shell within which lies the gem of reality the jewel of youth.
Practice acquiring the consciousness of childhood. Visualize the divine
child within. Before falling asleep suggest to your consciousness, I now
realize that there is within me a joy-body ever young, ever beautiful. I have
a beautiful spiritual mind, eyes, nose mouth, skin the body of the Divine
Infant, which now, tonight, is perfect. Repeat this affirmation and meditate
upon it quietly while falling asleep. Upon rising in the morning suggest to
yourself aloud, Well dear (addressing yourself by name), there is a divine
alchemist within. By the spiritual power of these affirmations during the
night a transmutation takes place and the unfolding from within, the spirit
has saturated this spiritual body and spiritual temple. The inner alchemist
has caused dead and worn out cells to fall and the gold of new skin to
appear with perpetual health and loveliness. Truly divine Love in
demonstration is eternal youth. The divine alchemist is within my temple,
constantly coining new and beautiful baby cells. This spirit of youth is within
my temple this human form divine, and all is well." End Quote
All is well.
So, we are separated yet in one body. Isn't it interesting the there are two
hemispheres in the brain? Left and right and I have even heard them
referred to as east and west. Could creation be displaying to us a spiritual
truth in the earth?
I have some thoughts about east and west and what they symbolize,
eastern hemisphere representing the divine mystical and spiritual emphasis
in the brain (or world) and the western hemisphere representing logic,
rational, carnal thinking emphasis in the brain (world). I know that these two
portions of the brain also represent duality especially as the left-brain (Eve)
functions without and independent of the spirit (Adam). I believe these two
hemispheres currently function separately but will ultimately return as one
(union). When they asked Jesus when His kingdom would come (when he
would return) he said as lightning flashes from the east to the west so will
the coming of the son of man be. Lightning symbolizes the power of God
coming to the earth. Notice that the lightning has to come from the EAST
(the spirit!) to the west - the soul.
In my limited understanding there are electrical pathways in the brain that
don't crossover from one side of the brain to the other. We can have a
logical thought that fires around in the left (west) side of the brain but it is
independent of spiritual emphasis. Just as there is spiritual, imaginative
thought firing in the right (east) part of the brain independent of the left. I
have read that the separating veil (and isn't it interesting that it is called
a "veil"?) between the hemispheres (corpus callosum) may be thinning
and that soon we may see an evolutionary step in the making where
thought patterns are not limited hemispherically. The east (spirit) will
proceed the west (mind). The mind, Eve or the bride will submit to her
groom, the spirit. So Jesus said as lightning flashes (originates) from the
spiritual mind to the carnal mind so will my coming be (the son of man or
us, into the kingdom or 4th dimension). It is also interesting that the Song of
Solomon Chapter 5 speaks of a time when the bride will have her "veil"
taken away.
So allow me to speculate. Why did God separate us? He knew that He
would ultimately plan a "re-UNION"so why the separation to begin with? In
all of creation, he created mankind unique in that we are like Him, created
in His likeness, with the ability to choose or refuse him. He is a gentle lover,
never forceful or coercive. He longs for His bride to desire Him, to chase
after Him, to love Him with all of her soul. He wants her to choose Him. She
is veiled, unable to see His majesty unlike the angels who behold his glory
with unveiled eyes. But we who are veiled are then courted by His unfailing
love not as eyewitnesses but one who must perceive with the heart. What
groom wants a bride to love Him without choice? Therefore He created us,
like Him, with the ability to choose or to be led astray by that infamous
woman Jezebel whom we have suffered to teach us (Revelation 2).
Jezebel (the soul!) usurps the authority of her husband (the Spirit) and thus
the human is thrown on a sickbed and ultimately dies. It is a death by
carnal nature!!!
But now the veil rent, the bride is coming out of her closet looking for her
beloved the one who is the lover of her soul.
The Spirit is her groom. He is all consuming, unfailing LOVE. The Spirit is
immortal. This immortal babe is in you. It is Christ born into humility (the
manger), the submitted, humbled human soul.
You are not your mind. You are an immortal spiritual being having a
temporal mortal experience. Step outside of your mind and see who you
are. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Be born again. Be born
from above!
