Playshop Description:
THE INNER MAGIC OF SPIRITUAL ALCHEMY
The human condition has been described as a “difficult assignment.” This is so because as human beings, we serve as the connection between an animal and a god. Our assignment, then, is redemption—that is, redemption of consciousness from its attachment to form. This is the true esoteric meaning of the crucifixion—the “nailing” upon the cross of matter (the cross symbolizing the four elements of the material world) of the divine being of the Christ principle of unfettered spiritual sight, obscuring its effulgence when entombed in an animal body. The resurrection is the freeing up of this all-seeing eye that alone is capable of perceiving the REAL—the interconnectedness of everything. The achievement of this goal is the true aim of the Great Work of Spiritual Alchemy. This the magic of Theurgy—the attainment of divine consciousness by developing and invoking our own higher faculties of abstract thought and intuition, our own inner god, which can then commune with other kindred entities. This is the true Hermetic Art.

Three stages of attainment were emphasized in the ancient mystery schools:
"Philosophicum" – knowing what it is; "Theoreticum" – knowing how it works; "Practicum" – knowing how to do it. Together, we will explore all three stages in depth, with ample time for questions and clarification.
