The Mercurial Substance




Experience is substance.  Experience, filtered through our psychology and biology plants itself within our interior highways and comes alive, shifting our perceptual field.  We are swimming in a type of embryonic fluid, fertile, fecund, prolific-a type of elementary and highly volatile and mercurial substance everywhere.  One cannot see this substance and yet they are saturated within this mysterious and ubiquitous field. Without the environment within which we exist, our own light would not be capable of peering into this world, and this world would not be capable of peering into us.  Like liquid sunshine, we emit into the sanctity of life.  Conversely, the sanctity of life enters us and transmits itself into our light.  We are the verses of spiritual exchange written by a mysterious hand-we are the absorber and the absorbed-the receiver and the received, we are the hand that is writing, yet we are that which is conceived.  We are the ink, the text, and the page, the valiant imagination of words that convey meaning and depth. 

When being absorbed, you are blessed with holiness.  You are the receiver of a precious gift.  Your own light of consciousness, your soul, your spiritual being is at a pivotal apex of becoming.  You become that which supports you and sustains your very existence physically and spiritually.  You are dialoguing with a nature that comes to know you by penetrating you and entering into you, while also streaming your light into itself. This dynamic is like a simultaneous and ongoing interaction with a radiating sun and the integrative and absorptive forces of a supernova. What you may consider to be as your own consciousness is not the only consciousness that contains you, but a nature that must come to know you as it comes to know itself through you, and you come to know yourself through it-a process of illuminated dialogue and exchange.  This nature comes to know you as you come to know it by means of penetrating the veil of individuality, of your sense of autonomy, by means of piercing the limitations of self and exploding into the holistic field in which you are sustained.  We cannot exist without this interbeingness. Our independence is born from dependence.  We are sustained within the matrix of unity and the matrix of unity is sustained by us. 

There is a place that transcends space and time.  There is a place we internally sojourn.  We know we have found this place when we become the absorber.  When here, we can feel our flesh melt into the exterior world. Our skin has stretched itself around the earth like a carpet and senses all that is as all that we are.  We gently become that which we distinguished as separate from.  We enter the One and can literally feel our system opening and consuming. Our flesh is wrought with feelers, sensory data that extends beyond our form. We are complete unto ourselves yet completely ALL simultaneously.  We are the absorber, the absorbed, and the One. This is a very real state to be in.  This is not philosophical reverie, this is as valid and formidable as eating a taco or making love. 

When blanketed by universal feelers, we do not have the capacity to do harm to another.  There are no possibilities for violence and blame because we deeply understand the other without separation.  We also deeply feel the other as if they were ourselves.  Consequently, we become incredibly vulnerable and increasingly spiritually powerful.  When we feel others, this is not the same as being what some call "empaths"  this kind of entry is not an individualized characteristic of sensing people's emotions, but of a universal quality that all may develop and become.  This is a deepening of our soul, not of our emotional sensitivities to others and their needs.  This is soul work, a profound and transformative stage.  You become transfigured and chiseled by the divine hands of the beloved.  I need to make a correction, you don't "feel" the other any longer, you actually become the other.  There is a difference and the difference is profound.

This place is where we have conscious rather than unconscious contact with the mercurial substance.  Our awareness and senses become heightened and we become biospiritually attuned to the fluid we are saturated within.  We realize that we are capable of giving birth to many great things.  We are the generators of seeds launching off from our intentions, dreams, wishes, beliefs, routines, and swimming within this nutrient rich mercurial substance.  The seeds do sprout, they do and they will once having launched from our birth canal and finally entering dimensions of time and space, advancing the seeds into fruition through the orchestration of greater and greater complexities of substance and dimension.  The magic of alchemy furls itself into the dualistic plain of materialization.  

Experience the silence and stillness of your inner life and you will penetrate into another field altogether that transcends self.  Silence self to enter deeper and broader realities or "fields".  Eventually, you will become viscerally aware of the mercurial substance you are participating in.  You are forming life around you as it forms you.  Once awakened to this mutual relationship of interactivity, you begin to witness the manifestation of this relationship within the duality of the physical plain.  First, however, come to know this place within and what happens without will eventually show itself to you.
