Alchemy & Breakthrough CreativityBy Dr. Theresa Bullard

In alchemy there is a saying that when it comes to creating or transforming things, it must “ascend from earth to heaven and again descend to earth.” !

In so doing, we “revive the strength of both the superior and inferior realms.”

This means that we have to first lift our consciousness up to higher planes, up to a higher way of perceiving, in order to truly access new ideas, insights, and breakthrough creativity.

In so doing, we “revive the strength of both the superior and inferior realms.”

Then we must bring it back down into the very practical world to manifest it, and bring it into tangible form. !

Then we repeat this process.  We raise up to a higher plane again and we bring it back down again.

The more we can continue this cycle of raising up to higher planes of consciousness and then bring the new ideas back down to the tangible, material realm, that is when we can successfully combine the strength of both consciousness as well as material, physical form.

Essentially, we are combining these powers of our inner and our outer, of above and below. 

Text

This is the fundamental approach we train people in for accessing breakthrough creativity

and quantum consciousness.

This is very different from how most traditional approaches to problem

solving operate today. 

Most people have been conditioned to approach problem solving from the Industrial mindset of: what is practical, what is logical, and what makes physical sense? !

This pattern of thinking stems from the old paradigm of Newtonian Mechanics.

While it is practical and certainly has its place in the flow of making things happen, when it comes to accessing breakthrough creativity, this approach is too limited and linear. 

Text

It assumes that the only realm to operate in is the physical, material, practical world.

Text

The problem we have now is that our way of thinking has been conditioned by these

old assumptions.

Text

Quantum Physics today shows us a different approach, one that engages our participation and where consciousness plays a key role.

Text

We live in a participatory universe.  What we experience and create is really based on

what and how we are choosing to perceive.

Text

In other words, what we focus on and how we set up our patterns of behavior largely

influence our experience of the world.

So how does this work?

Text

The four elements of Earth, Water, Air and Fire are used as symbols to represent aspects of ourselves,

as well as stages of transformation.  "

Text

These 4 elements can be used to help us to not only access different states of our consciousness

but also to drive the transformational process.

Lets say for example, you are stuck in an old pattern, behavior, or way of thinking, and you want to make a breakthrough.

The first step is to break down the old pattern in order to catalyze the breakthrough.  !

When we are stuck, in alchemy we would call this a fixed position and we want to make it volatile.

Text

We want to start breaking that up and changing it.  So the element that we

would work with is Fire. 

Fire represents the creative spark.  It is our passion and desire.  Fire stimulates original ideas and breakthroughs. !

The element of Fire is the most active part of our imagination and consciousness.

On the other hand, lets say that things are getting a little too erratic, chaotic,

and unformed. 

You want to contain all of this into some form so that things can settle down and crystallize into something you can really work with at a practical level.

In this case, we want to use the element of Earth. !

Remember Earth is all about grounding into the physical form and putting it into action.

Text

In alchemy, we work between Fire, Water, Air and Earth, in that sequence, to keep shifting the energy dynamic and to help harness it according to what

our purpose is.

Alchemy gives us a 7-step formula for applying these elements in sequence to drive the transformational process all the way through from starting point to final result.

Text

This is why alchemy is so essential to mastering the creative breakthrough process.

The more you can learn to work with these tools and access higher states of consciousness, the faster and easier it will become to make these creative breakthroughs.
