The Drives of the Soul: The Ahrimanic and Luciferic Impulses

Image
The Drives of the Soul: The Ahrimanic and Luciferic Impulses As humans, we exist as spirit, soul, mind, and body. The spirit, being the breath of God—the divine or transcendental aspect of man, dictates the right to and the will to be. It is the natural fact of existence, represented and lying within the transcendental and more objective realm. In this realm lies the will, the first cause of man: the “I will,” the “I am,” the will-to-be, and the will-to-existence. Our souls are more so the hues of our being, the colors, sound, and vibrations that creation emits. In this realm, we appreciate beauty and matters that burden the self. This is where individuality resides. The plane of the conscience, imaginary and the aesthetic qualia of creation. The body is the corporeal, where the manifest and profane lie. It is the sand and clay from which you are fashioned, born of the earth. The fleeting and the temporal, it must one day die and return to its source. It’s the realm of flesh, sweat, t...

Archetypical Psychosophy Model

Archetypical Psychosophy Model The Placements 1st Placement: The Icon—The Conductor—The Ruler. 2nd Placement: The Parent—The Hero—The Witch. 3rd Placement: The Fallen—The Trickster—The Pendulum. 4th Placement: The Heir—The Child—The Subordinate. The 1st Placement relies completely on the internal monologue of the user, supplanting itself as its ruler and dictator. The aspect held in the ruler's gaze is the user's inheritance, Icon, and creates or alters their character. There is no room on the throne for anyone besides the king. Like the ruler archetype, it takes the gifts and attention of the subject (or aspect) as something it should feel entitled to, portraying an effortless mastery in the gifts bestowed upon it. Imagine the realm as a globe theater. The Ruler sits on his seat reclined and alone as a VIP, watching everything in the play unfold. The play is for him and him only, and all the characters and people are there because of him and for his usage and whims. The Placem...

I Hope You Dream

My fingers ache—an ache of repeated penmanship. A rhythmic dance across this canvas and pages, Pages hidden only to me and those who see the worlds that lie rested between my eyes. I will probably never stop either. My aching fingers pick another medium, and write again—the explanation, the buildings, the familiarity. This is my hearth. It’s all chaos and indiscernible chaos on the outside. I oscillate my involvement and my disapproval. I write lest I betray myself again and again. I write lest I betray my prompting. I write because the ache in me exceeds the ache in my fingers. An ache I know you feel as well, an ache we feel so familiar with and know as if it were our mothers—the progenitor of our transgressions. My sin and my apathy. My bane, my ignorance. The worlds that sit atop the bridge of my nose. The gnawing feeling in my heart, the persistent ache propelling me to dream and mask the world with mine, yet I feel no reprieve. It is not mixed with the profane, and I am sentenced...

Synchronicity And The Essence Of Dreams And Symbols

Synchronicity And The Essence Of Dreams And Symbols "Your mind is intricately intertwined with this world." Synchronicity is a phenomenon that cannot be explained through a cause-and-effect relationship but rather through the means of chance. These are events that are not directly correlated but brought together through meaningful coincidence. Can you recall a time where you were discussing or thinking about something or someone, and that object or person appeared at the same time? That is coincidence or chance. Synchronicity takes this a step further as there are situations or events that act outside of this "Chance" and are often seen as impossibilities or miracles; something you would call "Luck." Synchronicity can be used to understand these events as an interplay between the mind and the external world. It's important to note that these events are not random but are connected through meaning; meaning that goes beyond the naturally observable and i...
