Alchemy and the Star

Last year Aura-Soma celebrated 14 years in Japan. It is not a traditional anniversary in the way that 10, 20 50 years etc are. However i have always considered B14 to be an important bottle in the Aura-Soma process. At the request of a friend I started writing about this bottle late last year but the article just got too big – too many things to say – and so it was never finished. Now i am back to the subject again because of a very exciting new course i did in St Petersburg, Russia this summer.

The course was called The Alchemy of Creativity. It was 5 days long and everything about the course was based on 5. Each day I took one bottle to be the focus of the process. First it was B5, then B10, B15, B20 and finishing with B25 on the last day. The aim of the course is to initiate students into their own creative power. Thus B25 is Florence Nightingale and she had the power to bring her dream (nursing the wounded soldiers overseas) into reality. We all have dreams and this course is to nurture our ability to fulfill these dreams. So the course finishes with an initiation into our own creative power.

Along the way there is a turning point day on day 3 where the B15 corresponds to the Devil in the Tarot. This is the card where we see the man and woman chained at the throat – their creative power (blue) is limited. And it is on this day that we look for a release from these chains, leading to B20 on Day 4 where the blue is now present again supported by pink.

The other image in the Devil card is the upside down star on the devil’s forehead. It shows that we have bowed to the earth, And in bowing to the earth we surrender our creative power. So to turn that star around is the key. And this is where B14 is so important. It is the path of Temperance. It connects soul and ego. The alchemy happens when these two layers of our self come together. Moon (Clear) and Sun (Gold) consciousness.

Perhaps you remember during 2009 many clear fractions in the Equilibrium bottles were turning to a pale gold. It shows that now is the time to integrate these two kinds of consciousness, daily habits – moon – and soul awareness – sun – together. That the clear may become suffused with a soft gold. Spiritual awareness integrate in our daily life.

This course is a process. It is full of exercises, activities, questions and skills to lead you into your creative power. Though i did not expect it, this course is about awakening the Star!
