Overview

This video features a conversation between Sky and Phoenix Aurelius discussing the nature of the soul from an alchemical perspective. They explore concepts like the prima materia, Kabalistic viewpoints, Platonic solids, the soul's volition, inspired living, the mind, and the concept of sin.

Key takeaways

• Alchemy views the soul through the framework of sulfur, mercury, and salt, with fixed sulfur representing the ego and volatile sulfur representing inherent talents (the higher self).
• The soul's "personality" or ego is tied to physiological characteristics and external expressions, while its "volatile soul" relates to its unique talents and interests.
• Alchemical and Kabbalistic cosmologies describe a multi-dimensional reality with planes of existence influencing the soul.
• The video connects alchemical principles to sacred geometry, particularly the Platonic solids, suggesting they represent archetypes across different planes of reality.
• The discussion touches on the idea that "sin" can be understood as a transgression against one's inner conscience or a deviation from one's soul's path.
