The sleeper must awaken
“For the alchemist, the one primarily in need of redemption is not man, but the deity who is lost and sleeping in matter.”
Adapting to change contributes to an awakening to a higher level of awareness. Without evolution, nothing would adapt or change, and without change, nothing would evolve an obvious but meaningful tautology. The universe evolves and, thus, presents each of us with the challenge of adaptation. Whether we can face them or not, archetypal messages come to into our awareness, granting access to wisdom, which can be heeded the hero, ignored by the innocent, or denied by the trickster, which returns the message to the relative safety of shadow.
The messages and patterns have been laid down over 13.8 billion years of evolution, but only recently have risen into the awareness of humanity.Īccording to Carl Jung, “The dream is … the utterance of the unconscious.” Dreams serve as complex expressions of numerous psychological archetypes. As we focus our attention on patterns of evolution, we discover the hidden messages and features of nature. Archetypal patterns are stored both in the deep unconscious of subjectivity and in the deep sleep of spacetime and its objects. Since the western enlightenment, modern consciousness has become aware of these fractal patterns. The universe exhibits repeating patterns.
