The alchemical art suggests a different approach to existence. The works of art Renaissance, the mythological stories, fairy tales, novels and plots film can act on the subconscious mind and awaken the desire to learn more about the meaning of the alchemical (and life).
Every life is a work of alchemy. The experiences that occur at higher initiations are deep and complex understanding of the mind which needs to be adjusted.
If the "mind" is not in step with the "spirit", a crisis that inevitably happens is manifested in psychosomatic, or existential.
diseases, accidents, deaths, separations, loss of money, esteem, value, and conflicts are opportunities to expand the intelligence, awareness and knowledge of the report.
Instead we like to be bound by the old lifestyle patterns and our interpretation of reality, locked in our personal, unique and original point of view, even proud (foolishly) what we think and know about ourselves and life . The Art of Alchemic
instead leads gradually to become the alchemist's Witness what happens. The progressive detachment from the events of life is through the knowledge of the images.
If we learn to read the images, ie the light reflected from things we view our lives as if we were spectators of a film, of which we are actors, directors and producers. The same idea is echoed by Giorgione, which depicts himself intent to contemplate two women.
The woman in white is caught in the act of keeping your right hand (the five senses of the mind) on the heart of a woman dressed in black outline is very greek. The artist is at the center between the two, become detached observer of phenomena that can only be interpreted in the light of symbolic knowledge (the woman in white) and the spirituality of alchemy (the woman in black is the symbol of Greek tragedy).
Giorgione has the art of symbolic knowledge because it is able to connect the five senses of the mind (rational perception, intuition trans-logic decoding - Analog literal anagogical, symbolic, metaphorical and allegorical, interpretation and synthesis of memory), with the heart of Greek wisdom.
Greek culture was the first to codify the archetypes that dwell in the human psyche in poems, stories, legends and tragedies that testify to the precise knowledge of a symbolic journey made by Hermes (the Knower), the spiritual energy that can light the flame on the heads of two Dioscuri and illuminate the path of the Argonauts, the spiritual seekers.
The development of special symbolic perception of women opens the doors of knowledge of the processes of conjunction of the aesthetic sense (white) with the tragic sense of life (the black) inaugurated by the Greeks. Difficult to understand the reality if you do not recognize the patterns and archetypes with which human nature manifests itself unchanging over time, and, conversely, you can not understand the art if you do not have the key philosophical (the three portraits of the self) to separate the tragic sense (archetypes) from the aesthetic sense (the images).
Alchemical Art thus offers a tool for understanding ourselves, "reading" the images produced by others. In each image is the archetype, the symbol and the sign can make the emblem, allegory, metaphor is necessary for our minds to reconstruct the design of spirtual birth, overwhelmed by the emergence in adulthood ego material, social and intellectual.
Every artist, writer and poet composed his work to meet the need for "spiritual" to reassemble the puzzle. Using the intrinsic qualities of the cognitive self (the brain associated with the heart) attached to the two eyes (the self intuitive and the rational self) each individual can start the Little Work of the transformation of individual consciousness and transpersonal consciousness.
