The 7 Steps in Personal Transformation: Alchemy - Step 2

The second transformation in this process is Dissolution. This is digging deep inside to reveal all thoughts and feelings that have been concealed in order to start the separation of good and evil.
Second/Sacral Chakra

The Emerald Tablet says “Its mother is the moon”

Psychologically, this represents a further breaking down of the artificial structures of the psyche by total immersion in the unconscious, non-rational, feminine or rejected part of our minds. It is, for the most part, an unconscious process in which our conscious minds let go of control to allow the surfacing of buried material. It is opening the floodgates and generating new energy from the waters held back. Dissolution can be experienced as "flow," the bliss of being well-used and actively engaged in creative acts without traditional prejudices, personal hang-ups, or established hierarchy getting in the way.

Why can't we just be friends?

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad and Tobago (CNN) -- President Obama said Friday he is seeking "a new beginning" in U.S. relations with Cuba.

Before addressing the representatives of 34 countries at the Summit of the Americas, Obama and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez saw each other and shook hands.
"Every one of our nations has a right to follow its own path," Obama told the assembly. "But we all have a responsibility to see that the people of the Americas have the ability to pursue their own dreams in democratic societies.
"Toward that end, the United States seeks a new beginning with Cuba."
Obama arrived in Trinidad and Tobago on Friday evening for the Summit of the Americas, a key meeting of hemispheric powers. Although it was not represented at the talks, the subject of Cuba dominated the president's speech.
In prepared remarks, Obama said that "decades of mistrust" must be overcome, but noted that he has already loosened restrictions that limited Americans from traveling to visit relatives in Cuba and from sending money to them.

This is an excerpt from the book Mental Chemistry by Charles Haanel, edited by Anthony R. Michalski, and is part of The Complete Master Key Course -- http://www.thecompletemasterkeycourse.com available through Kallisti Publishing.“Great men or masters stand like solitary towers in the Eternal City. And secret passages running deep beneath external nature give their thoughts intercourse with high Intelligence, which strengthens and controls them. And of which the laborers on the surface do not even dream.”The Master Mind is within your body and soul, yet interpenetrating both. It is the Grand Man—the God Man—of each of us. It is the same in all human beings and is what is familiarly called the “I AM.”A Master is one who is not controlled or mastered by flesh, blood, the Devil, or others. He is not a subject, but a ruler. He knows, and he knows that he knows; because of this he is free and can be dominated by no one.When you have reached the point where you are steadily mastering and overcoming and clothing your mind with more and more knowledge, you have your face toward the Light and are moving onward and upward.Law becomes your servant and is no longer your master. You speak your thought or word accompanied with faith, will, and the proper mental picture, and your word accomplishes that whereunto it is sent. Or, in other words, the Creative Law hastens to fulfill your word.

Make Change

"They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself"
Andy Warhol (1928 - 1987), The Philosophy of Andy Warhol

This is one of the truest things I have read in a long time. This is what Dirty Jeenius is about.
We want people to realize that to make things positive in the world it needs to come from us. There are a lot of opinions about what needs to be done and sometimes we think that it wouldn't really matter for us to say anything because it's not gonna make a difference.
WAKE UP PEOPLE! Speak your mind and get involved in your community, get involved in your life. Look at those college students that protested at The New School in NYC because no one was happy with the school's president..well even if he doesn't get the boot that's no reason for them to stop fighting for what they believe in. You have to exert energy into the planet that will bring about change, and as long as you stay positive and believe in what you are doing theres nothing that can't be achieved.
