Re: Transformation, Jung, Individuation, 13 Death/Rebirth

Hey! When I click on your REPLY link above I can see your post and all the posts in that thread including one Rudenski just posted and my reply to him, but when I click on that page of the forum, none of the new posts are visible. wuh?

So this is very exciting to me! I have read that Jung book by Jeffrey Raff, you recommended it! Fantastic. Yes, the symbols/images from Lambspring are stunning. I would like to find more of those images and delve into the meaning within them.

'The 13-Moon calendar of the Mayan (and the 13 Tones) is also a Transformation/Plutonic/Scorpionic number! 13 represents Death/Rebirth." Awesome! And applying that to our 13 year cycles is wild, going through these cycles of transformation and growth.

So I am feeling an inkling of that Blue Monkey, especially when I saw that it sits in the middle of my chart, having such an affect on ALL of it!

Also speaking of the death/rebirth cycles, I know I have that strong in my life, well while reading about white world bridger, I read about growing moss (which I do) as it is life out of death (a good symbolic alchemical thing to do) I suddenly flashed on my keen interest in mycology and how that is also life out of death, death and rebirth!
I love that!
Also, I just finished a few mushroom pictures, little tiny ones, part of a series and I was thinking just that - life out of death and then I had that dawning sensation that my whole process of painting is also like that, I start the seed of creation, go through a "death" period of torment and confusion where it often all seems to fall apart and then the rebirth where suddenly I see the light, have the inspiration to continue and then it is done!
So I was thinking that this whole process of my painting too could go from the WWB stage to the Blue Monkey stage now, where I can get them out into the light! Be more open and playful about it and share! Hmm, just a thought!

I love all this information Tracey!

more soon, love Alison
