There is a lot of bellicosity currently being expressed globally and I feel this is in some way part of a larger pattern playing out across the world.
Without taking attention away from the situations themselves, I would share that I feel there is a wave of violent energy washing over the planet right now.
We as humans have had to contend with violence ever since we have existed here, but now is different. It is no longer rooted in the individual or nations, but is awakening in the whole collective.
The anger held in the Heart of the World can only be transmuted through compassion, love, understanding, but it has reached such a critical mass that the world is going into a blind rage.
Violence comes from imbalanced power. From those who wield power untempered by love and wisdom. Violence is rooted in raw power, unrefined and undirected.
We have a phenomenon I have noticed whereby large amounts of people are being influenced to generate this raw power through their emotions. There is no one source of this.
Rather, there are vying hands all of which realized the capability to influence the shape of this power. However, it is overflowing. There is more emotion being generated than is being "used".
What began as what was thought to be a way to corral the power of humanity has become a dam which is strained to the break.
We might be able to do something about it, though. Through the Art of Transmutation it is possible to refine emotions, to raise them up to new forms.
To do this, we have to accept the raw material we are working upon. The raw, violent energy at the root.
Instead of shaking the snake awake, so that it lashes out and then goes back to slumber, it must be slowly roused and raised through the music of your own mind and soul.
The snake is an ancient symbol for the "first matter" of the alchemists, the azoth, the prima materia, what is known as intelligent energy in the Ra Material.
In its most fundamental form it is undirected and chaotic. The Hyle. The chaos of the Hyle is the root of aggression.
However, if we do this work in ourselves and learn to refine the first matter of chaos in to the fine 'powder of projection', a symbol of the purified consciousness which is able to instantly transmute the first matter in to its highest state, we can project it outwards. In emotional terms, this is transmuting low, chaotic emotions in to higher refined ones.
We can do this first on a personal level, achieving our own ability to move these energies through our system is the first step.
You must first grasp your own anger and other low emotions. You must be willing to release them from their form, that they may evolve. You must be willing to sacrifice them.
This is the ancient meaning of 'animal sacrifice', and why many sacrificial animal corresponded with zodiacal forms. It is not actual creatures that are meant to be sacrificed, but their base, chaotic natures within our own beings. Through this sacrifice these forms are reborn, guided by the art of the alchemist, in to a higher state.
What is this art then? There are allusions far and wide, and many vague illustrations. Numerous opinions.
I cannot profess mine to be the correct thought, but my understanding and experience of this art is that it is creative.
It is not rooted in advanced symbols, ceremonies or teachings. It is not in complex systems.
It is in dreaming. Imagination. The ability to turn one's thought, that is all you require, and the willpower to do it.
There are three steps.
First you must connect with that which you wish to transmute. This can be as simple as thinking about it, visualizing it or imagining it however you are able.
This is one purpose for alchemical symbolism. By embodying an idea within a symbol you can access large complex thoughts through a single form.
Others may not have a visual aspect to their minds, and triggering the feeling is key.
Second, you must decide 100% that you desire to transmute it. This is a matter of conviction and the full utilization of the will. Without conviction, magic doesn't happen.
Third, you must be ready and willing to sacrifice the current state of that which you wish to transmute. Through this, you embrace the acceptance of the new form and allow the old to die.
Thus the transformation of state occurs naturally, but assisted.
If you wish to transmute anger, for example. You must first raise that anger within yourself.
You can draw it up in whatever way works. The tricky thing here is to be able to draw this energy up without being consumed by it.
This is the 'danger' of this sort of method, and I only suggest this technique be used by those who feel ready to contend with their own primal natures.
Once you have drawn up the anger, having accepted and embraced it fully so that you have faced all fear of it, you must consciously desire its transmutation.
This can take place in the form of a visualization of the transformation, or a feeling of changing or shifting motion, or whatever form it takes.
Desire is consciously directed through the will. You have to want to want it. Without will, there is no fuel for transformation.
Then you must let it go, cast it in the to 'fire', and let its form die. This can be a visualization as such, of any sort of transformation or emergence. It may just be a feeling of "letting go". The ancient symbol is of a person being chopped to pieces and then pieced back together, like Osiris. You could visualize the sacrifice, or simply will it "to be so". Whatever way works for you, everyone is unique, and thus so is the art.
Thus, the new form must be embraced, accept and connected to in the same way the original was. Now your forms are tied together. Whenever you experience anger, or whatever other thing you are transmuting, remember its transformation. Energy follows thought. If you change its form in your mind, it must follow energetically. By doing this continuously on the same form, you can refine an emotion or thought more and more. By doing so you create a 'step ladder', like Jacob's Ladder, which allows you to ascend and descend the forms as you please.
You may have noticed the anger is not 'gone', and this is the truth of alchemy. Everything contains everything else. We are only changing one thing in to an infinitude of forms. The energy that starts in anger is that which becomes love.
There is no one singular method, but rather a collection of principles which are thus used to craft unique systems of transmutation. That is why the teachings of alchemy revolve around processes and procedures, because the technique takes a different form with each according to their artistic character.
Experiment. That is the way. Your mind and emotions are immensely powerful. Appreciate them, and do not take them for granted. Have fun with it, it is an art, and even though we can do serious things with it, it is the play that reveals the secrets of the universe.
Good luck.
P.S. Don't feel you have much anger in yourself? You're maybe ready to help the collective if you so choose.
Other 'low' emotions can be guilt, shame, hate, etc, which can also be approached in their own ways.
Open your heart to the anger of those around you, start small, and let empathy allow it to bridge you with others. Then transmute it.
This can be very draining especially at first, so take it slow.
While we cannot control what people feel in their hearts, we can cleanse the environment 'smog' of emotion which reinforces the feelings.
What this does do is create more opportunities for other emotions to emerge and introduce themselves.
You don't have to do this entirely alone either. You can work with others, or connect with trees which are powerful natural transmuters.
Working with allies can often be more efficient and effective, and less draining on each.
Cooperation is the hallmark of the positive way.
All the best.

Quote:46.9 Questioner: Certainly.
Ra: The entity polarizing positively perceives the anger. This entity, if using this catalyst mentally, blesses and loves this anger in itself. It then intensifies this anger consciously in mind alone until the folly of this red-ray energy is perceived not as folly in itself but as energy subject to spiritual entropy due to the randomness of energy being used.
Positive orientation then provides the will and faith to continue this mentally intense experience of letting the anger be understood, accepted, and integrated with the mind/body/spirit complex. The other-self which is the object of anger is thus transformed into an object of acceptance, understanding, and accommodation, all being reintegrated using the great energy which anger began.
The negatively oriented mind/body/spirit complex will use this anger in a similarly conscious fashion, refusing to accept the undirected or random energy of anger and instead, through will and faith, funneling this energy into a practical means of venting the negative aspect of this emotion so as to obtain control over other-self, or otherwise control the situation causing anger.
Control is the key to negatively polarized use of catalyst. Acceptance is the key to positively polarized use of catalyst. Between these polarities lies the potential for this random and undirected energy creating a bodily complex analog of what you call the cancerous growth of tissue.
All the best.

Here, I try to greet this energy with loving curiosity, sit down with it, have a cup of tea, make friends with it, and then possibly choose to continue traveling with it or release it. I suppose this is my process of transmutation.
