The Alchemist's Grief (Turning Lead into Light)

Today, we are reaching a milestone. We are investigating the Alchemy of the Aftermath. In ancient alchemy, the first stage of transformation was called the Nigredo, the blackening. It was the moment of total dissolution, where everything old was burnt away to leave only the 'Prima Materia.'We’re looking at Carl Jung and the philosophy of Individuation. We’re asking: Is your grief a 'Destruction,' or is it a 'Refining'? We’re investigating why the 'Fire' of loss is the only thing hot enough to melt the ego so that something 'True' can emerge. If you feel like you’ve been 'Burnt to a Cinder,' stay with us. We’re going to look at 'The Alchemist’s Grief.'Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-grief-lab--6886563/support.
