Jan 14 "Alchemist Fire" Meditation
Savitri Vidya

The beginning of 2003 feels like we are stepping into the Alchemist Bowl. All the events that have transpired in 2002 and beyond have come up for clearing. This is a quantum event, meaning there is no way you can measure it in a conventional, quantitative way. It defies the process of logical and analytical thinking; it is largely an energy shift. In fact, I believe we have already shifted into a new ball game, so to speak.

Technically speaking, the old world as we know it is no more. It’s gone. The reason you might think that it’s still there is because your brain is “reading” the incoming data in the old way. The old brain continues to interpret data and energy, behaving as if we are in a 3-dimenstional plane. But the data as it is being “perceived”, is more like echoes from some distant, haunted memory. Very soon, even the echoes will be no more.

Now enter the power of CHOICE. Yes, you can actually choose how you’d like to live your life as we enter this new era, this new energy matrix that we term the Aquarian Paradigm.

For those who choose to resist change, the path will be one of painful struggle. The old guard rears its head one last time, refusing to relinquish its tenuous hold on reality, as we knew it. But even the struggles are futile, for they consume so much of your energy. And in time even the struggles will dissolve into the ethers. For those of us who welcome the new consciousness, who are open to change, we may be in for an exhilarating ride. There’s much more going on than meets the eye. So much is happening so fast!

Don’t let the seeming impasse fool you. Deliberations of whether we are going to war or not, the financial downturn, communication glitches, relationship issues, etc—it’s easy to be lured into thinking that the pitfalls are the same and that nothing has really changed. But in reality, we are transcending from 3rd dimensional reality into the 5th dimension. And everything is accelerated. We are moving very fast, ripping through defunct thought forms and forging new forms. You are creating a new Reality just as you are reading these words. This is a quantum leap for mankind’s collective consciousness, and big news for the planet as well as the multiverse!

In essence, the conventional time/space module that served us has been superseded by another infinitely finer, more sophisticated continuum. Not everyone has adapted to it yet. It’s like when we switched from black and white to color TV in the early sixties. It’s like switching from dialing phones to fax machines and then to computers. And just when you think you’ve gotten the hang of it, we have stepped into cyber reality.

If you don’t understand any of this, don’t worry. It’s going to take a little more time for us to adjust during this transition phase. The human brain will take a little longer to upgrade its “programming.” But the rule of thumb is that the less resistance you put up, the more easily you are going to flow with this new energy. So, my feeling is that after mid February and into March, it’s going to be an exciting ride, I’d say, like rocket fuel.

Meanwhile, the month of January still brings its testing, and profoundly quiet times, for we are still in the deep of winter. Communication and financial flow may come in fits and starts; there might be minor glitches. But if you are willing to go into the Burning Bowl, where you allow the karmic dross to be consumed by the chastening Fire, then a new you will emerge—pristine, shining, and clean.

This evening we will do a Meditation/Celebration of entering the Alchemist’s Fire. We will lay down our karmic baggage as we walk into the Sacred Fire for complete healing. By transmuting our own karma and diligently doing our own inner work, we are truly helping those who are dear to us. Healing means “becoming whole.” That, to me, sums up in a nutshell the work and promise of the coming weeks and months. I am waiting, with baited breath, to see all of us emerging whole and radiant from the Fire.
