Shift in Spiritual Consciousness
Egyptian mythology and theology incorporate
symbols and concepts like divine speech, authoritative speech, and magic with
elements great for philosophical insights. Hermeticism is rich with symbols
that encapsulate profound spiritual truths. The Ankh “Key of Life” represents eternal
life and immortality it symbolises spiritual rebirth. The Eye of Horus stands
for protection, health, and restoration. It embodies wholeness and balance reminding
that insight often emerges from overcoming adversity. The Scarab Beetle symbolises
transformation and renewal represents personal growth and spiritual evolution
thru inner alchemy. The Ouroboros depicted as a serpent eating its own tail. It
signifies eternity and the cycle of nature of existence emphasising unity and interconnectedness.
The Caduceus with two snakes entwined around a winged staff symbolically a
balance between opposing forces like light and dark and the path to
enlightenment. These symbols serve as gateways to deeper understanding of the
material and spirit realms. Focusing on spiritual transformation, divine connection,
and esoteric wisdom there are keys for alignment. Divine knowledge (Gnosis) the
pursuit of mystical knowledge of the divine “Gnosis” is a key to spiritual
awakening. Unity of all things teaches the principles of “As above, So below.”
Jesus said in Matthew 16:19 “I will give you the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven and
whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in Heaven.” In 2 Corinthians 10:4,5 apostle
Paul says. “The weapons we fight are not the weapons of the world on the contrary
they have divine power to demolish strong holds we demolish arguments and every
pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God and we take captive
every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”
Inner alchemy transforms the
refinement of the soul’s personal growth and aligning with Christs teachings.
We should use the scriptures with metaphysical interpretations of
anthropomorphic concept of God inclusivity of wisdom one can integrate insights
from various spiritual traditions to create an integrated approach to faith and
spirituality we can see broader truths universally across various traditions.
See the Kybalion hermetic text that outlines several universal principles such as
mentalism, vibration, and polarity. Integrating spiritual wisdom into daily
life is a transformative journey. Some practical ways to embody these are daily
reflection and meditation. Practise prayer to connect with the divine and align
with higher wisdom. You can have symbolic rituals like reciting scripture study
of sacred texts like the Holy Bible seeking allegorical meaning in the writings
to reveal deeper truths for inner alchemy use prayer, visualisation, and self-awareness
to cultivate an aligned spiritual path. You may also need to complete shadow
work. Practice kindness and compassion as you align spiritually.
There is interconnectedness in all
things including religions. Approach challenges with the understandings that it
is an opportunity for growth and alignment in divine will. Leave the
elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity. Endure hardship as
discipline. God is treating you as sons for what son is not disciplined by his
father. No discipline seems pleasant at the time but painful, latter on however
it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been
trained by it. Proverbs 3:11,12 My son do not despise the Lords discipline and
do not resent his rebuke because the Lord disciplines those he loves as a
father the son he delights in.
To integrate spiritual wisdom into
daily life one can, have morning rituals, meal blessings, evening reflection,
sacred space, symbolic gestures, and seasonal rituals. This looks like symbolic
gestures or personal rituals, and we can use scripture to plant seeds as a
symbol of growth and renewal. Mark 4:14 The farmer sows the Word. Cast your
bread upon the waters for after many days you will find it again. If clouds are
full of water they pour rain upon the earth. Sow your seed in the morning and
at evening let not your hands be idle for you do not know which will succeed whether
this or that or whether both will do equally well. See Isaiah 55:11 So it is my
word that goes out from my mouth it will not return to me empty but will
accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. One must
have faith in matters of life interpreted thru scripture. Jeremiah 1:12 The
Lord said to me you have seen correctly for I am watching to see that my word
is fulfilled.
Inner alchemy unity and interconnectedness
pursuit of divine knowledge balance of opposites sacred symbols and rituals are
all required in spiritual transformation bringing refinement of the souls mystical
knowledge and individual experiences of divine connection and embracing life’s
dualities. Inner alchemy focusing on transforming inner self thoughts,
emotions & spiritual energy into higher states of being. This process
aligns beautifully with neuroplasticity by promoting relaxation and focus which
help to reorganise and form new neural connections with positive thought patterns,
emotional regulation, resilience and adaptability we integrate growth for spiritual
wisdom resulting in balance and harmony fostering personal growth. Combining
inner alchemy with an understanding of neuroplasticity one can create lasting
changes in mindset, emotional health, and general well-being. Some techniques and
exercises to support self-development and neuroplasticity are meditation,
visualisation, affirmations, self-talk, learning new skills, physical
movement, journaling, reflection, theta brainwaves and states of gratitude
practice. Practising these techniques can align your inner transformation with
the brains natural ability to adapt and grow. Try the techniques that resonate
with you the best.
The philosophical saying it is better
being a soldier in a garden then a gardener in a war. The message is about
preparedness and adaptability with the skills and mindset of a soldier-disciplined,
resilient and readiness. The horse is made ready for the day of battle but
victory rests with the Lord. Proverbs 21:31
