Spirituality of Materiality

Bitch Goddess notes and directions

-Idea that alchemy is a process of going from dark earth, chaotic waters, massa confusa, then cleansing, and water to purify until we can liberate Sophia, feminine wisdom of god from matter, liberate the spiritual, true indivduated Self from the unconscious, where it lives-a.

The Bitch Goddess is set on liberating her female sisters, but not with the intent making the unconscious conscious but in a sense, to reestablish a reign of horror and terror where the female takes over the long overbalanced masculinity, enantiodromia. In other words, Kali gains her power, the destructive form of Kali unleashes her fury.

Kali liberates female spirit, goddess, from the images of materiality created by men, the splitting of Eve (bringer of death) from Mary (bringer of life), because these two were not allowed to be the same person, in other words the unconcsious cannot integrate with the conscious life, and so a split occurrs, psychosis, destruction of the self, where irrationality reigns.

Images of women by men: the girl, the sexualized schoolgirl, the anorexic model, the drug addict, my own images of female deification, like Cheri, Loltia too, sure, Katie, Cheri of course, Lesbian, then also the images of women from Religion, the squelching of female destructiveness, the horror of mensruation. The river must flow again.

Chance we had was that we could have played, we could have maintained myth and play, but we split, took it seriously, rejected MATTER! That we did, and now we fetishize it. Matter is a thing we try to own, without undertsanding the sacred quality of matter, the importance of the unconscious, the patterns of play, of being conscious and understanding the frame opf midn that allows us to consciously suffer, in a game of as if, as if we could be gods.

NEED TO DO: what is the connection between alchemy, of liberating the soul from unconsciousness and alchemy, and Campbell' sense of mythic play? Piaget's symbolic play, which I already have shown to be analagous with play.


The aurora and eplicate, this to the process of individuation, the sense of play in myth, play in Piaget Symbolic imitation, self integration, then Jung's ideas of alchmey as metaphor for individuation.

Don't forget christmas, the time, the time of year, the historical time. Gifts and presents and some sort of giving, even though everyone hates each other.

Enantiodromia: the process vy which something becomes its opposite, and the effects of this. The adoption of a set of beliefs which are opposed to those previously held.

enantios = opposite; drommos = running

Alchemy is a high structured but unwilled process whereby a person follows these procedures of perfecting something (soul-self) and doesn't give in to instinct and thus evolves their consciousness.

An enantiodroma can be postive or negative. In our sense of western patriarchal big daddy religion (old and new testaments) we gave us on, rejected materiality, or maybe better, the spirituality of materiality, reverence for the spirit in nature, and so we separated the spirit from nature,

and thus Sophia got mad. In and so what has happened then would be the utter inverse of achlemcy, whereby we become dumber, we revert back to instinct, lose the evolution of consciousness and undo the gold and make more black matter.

Black matter, move toward pure unconsconscious materialism:

One extreme - unconscious materialism, dumb as a rock, murder, acting out, violence, blowing shit up.

Other extreme - pure intellect, separated from nature, God is outside of it all, we too will be one day.
