Hi. In today's video podcast. I plan to do
a short summary of one more article from my
book, "Self Empowering Wisdom" (Volume One).
The title of this article is “voice in the
street and wilderness”.
It was Carl Jung, who quoted in his public
lecture in the Swiss Federal Institute of
Technology, that there is a deep connection
between the material transformation in alchemy,
and the transformative process in the psyche.
The Gold in alchemy he equated to the universal
unconscious of this classification of human
consciousness.
For those of us who are new to Jung's classification
of consciousness, he basically classified
the human consciousness into three levels.
The Waking consciousness. The Dream consciousness,
and the Universal Unconsciousness. And he
was of the opinion and firm belief that all
the symbols that appear in our dreams are
called out from the universal unconsciousness
through archetypes.
In physical alchemy, it is the hidden base
materials potentiality, which the alchemists
uses to transform it into gold.
While physical alchemy is purely a materialistic
process by altering and transforming the properties
of matter, Spiritual alchemy is concerned
with freeing your authentic self, which is
trapped and conditioned within you, by the
polluted content of your consciousness, such
as your fears, personal beliefs, self-loathing,
and so on.
Spiritual alchemy is a much more difficult
process, and it is multifaceted, the universal
unconsciousness, is the basic substratum from
which the body, mind, and spirit evolves.
This was the late 15th and early 16th century
understanding in physical alchemy.
Because of the hidden nature, it is calling
out for recognition in all manifestations.
This is why Jung in his lecture calls, this
potentiality which is there, The Silent Voice
"Per Vicos Acclamans", which is, it is
calling through the streets.
This is why we see in the Bible in the “Song
of Solomon”, When the bride is searching
for the bridegroom, we read. “I will rise
now and go about the city in the streets.
And in the broad ways. I will seek Him whom
my soul loveth”.
Today science increasingly accepts that the
fundamental substratum of all the universe
is pure potentiality or energy vibration,
or as of today, the latest theory information.
We have a theory called the "Integrated Information Theory (IIT)" which is becoming highly debated as
being one of the reasons for all the manifestations
which is there in this universe, right from fundamental
particles to the galaxies.
The Universal presence of the state of pure
potentiality is present everywhere and its expansiveness is symbolized stating
its presence in the street, as well as in
the wilderness. The process of authentic Self
Realization is to heed to this voice.
The Silent Voice as proclaimed by Prophet
Isaiah. "A voice of one calling in the wilderness,
Prepare the way of the Lord. Makes straight paths
for him.
If we go behind the text, preparing the way
of the Lord is to listen to this divine consciousness
which continuously calls from within you.
And to make the path straight means that all
the conditioned consciousness with which you
live has to be modified and removed so that
we are able to receive this voice in our inner
self.

And thank you for watching and listening.
