Finding the Seeds of Gold
When we are born, we are like primal matter, a chaotic combination of information, emotions, and transgenerational influences. Within this mixture, there are seeds of gold, representing our divine essence and core. The purpose of life is to discover these seeds of gold and embody them. There are three ways to approach personal or collective crises: escapism, falling into darkness, or embracing growth. The third option involves learning about oneself, understanding the triggers and emotions arising from crisis, and choosing to respond in a way that fosters wisdom and growth. Ancient wisdom traditions, such as alchemy, emphasize the importance of delving into our inner landscapes to uncover our true selves and develop resilience.
Navigating Challenges and Crises
During challenging times, both personally and collectively, it is essential to understand the interconnectedness of individual and societal realities. While escapism and succumbing to despair may offer temporary relief, the path to growth and wisdom lies in introspection and a willingness to learn. By examining personal reactions, triggers, and emotions, individuals can develop a higher perspective and gain insights into themselves. It is crucial to approach challenges with the intention of understanding personal responsibility and potential areas of growth. Engaging with crises not only strengthens individuals but also contributes to the understanding of collective predicaments, fostering resilience and wisdom.
The Journey of Inner Alchemy
Ancient wisdom traditions, like alchemy, explore the purpose of life, finding the essence of oneself amidst chaos. Each person is born as primal matter, containing both transgenerational influences and seeds of gold. The quest for self-discovery involves stumbling upon these seeds, becoming the alchemist of one's life, or experiencing a crisis known as negredo. The crisis acts as a catalyst for self-reflection and transformation. By recognizing the source of personal darkness and purging what no longer serves us, we rebuild ourselves with a firm foundation. Embracing the journey of inner alchemy allows us to unlock our potential and live a life where we truly thrive.
Navigating Paths and Discerning Truth
Embarking on a spiritual or personal growth journey can be overwhelming due to the abundance of perspectives and teachings available. It is essential to remember that there is no absolute truth or one-size-fits-all approach. Each person must find their own path, guided by their own inner wisdom. While there are valuable teachings and teachers along the way, it is crucial to exercise discernment and avoid clinging to any dogmatic beliefs. The key lies in developing a deep understanding of oneself, exploring the inner characters, and cultivating a connection with the wise one inside. This journey requires humility, acknowledging the limitations of our understanding and remaining open to continuous growth and evolution.
I was recently in a text thread about how to find truth in our current times?
There has never been more people with microphones in history telling us how to live, what to believe, and what is happening in the world.
Although this diversity of information has created an immense amount of opportunity and freedom, it’s also made discernment more important than ever.
This is true whether we’re trying to understand what’s happening in the world or the wisdom we choose to follow for our growth.
Today’s guest Nadine Kreisberger has a unique perspective on this topic. As a counselor and consultant on her own journey of self exploration, she has spent the past 25 years studying many wisdom traditions, psychology, and geopolitics to help herself and others discover what she calls “the inner gold.” The inner gold is our deepest essence and gifts that we come into this experience to discover and contribute.
