The Dark Life of the Soul. A High Life. Amera Ziganii Rao
The high life, spiritually, is about crucifixion and annhihilation and suffering. And rebirth. Alchemy. Alchemy is the conversion of hate to love and fear to courage and cynicism to acceptance and hope. Reverence for creation, recognition that pain is an illusion and total self responsibility. Alchemy is not about other people or about mastering a destiny, in terms of getting what you want. Alchemy is about converting the self and that is it. Facing suffering, annhiliation or crucifixion, other people's inability or unwillingness to love, generically as well as personally, and making the choice, constantly, about whether to live or die, hate or love. Alchemy is not about making your dreams come true. Alchemy is not about other people or anything in your life outside yourself. Alchemy is only about you. There are no rewards in heaven. There is only alchemy.
