Still in the Center
*
Still in the center, still in the human mind, this is where the heartbeat becomes one with the universal mind.

The alchemist realizes that he himself is the Philosopher’s Stone, and that this stone becomes like a diamond when salt and sulfur, or spirit and body are united through mercury, the link of the mind.
The human being is the embodied principle of the mind, just as the animal is of emotion. He stands with one foot in the heavens and the other on the earth.
His higher self is elevated to the celestial spheres, but the lower human nature binds him to matter.
Now, the philosopher, in building his sacred stone, does so by harmonizing his spirit and his body. The result is the Philosopher’s Stone.
The harsh blows of life wear him down and polish him until he reflects the light from a million different angles.
~ Manly P. Hall

What I want is to steal images, store my treasures of tears with fire inside. What I want are my metaphors, my images, my endless pursuit and search for a truth that I fortunately don’t understand, and of which I only know what is necessary to continue seeking.
