The True Light of True Love starts in the Dark
Summer Solstice 2025, New Moon
Alchemy is the most painful process imaginable and you are lucky if no one (but you) has to die.
The true light of true love starts in the dark, where all things start.
The newly named Moonchild, the Childlike Empress, shares this order with Bastian at “the end” of The Never Ending Story, when all that’s left of Fantasia is a single grain of sand. Prima Materia.
Atreyu had to die, and his horse before him, before Bastian would heed his calling as Creator of the New World.
Until The Betrayal that forced me into the Necessary Grave, I would often only recall the scene where Atreyu passed through The Oracles without fear.
But he escaped Death, lived to fight another day, and so it was Not Enough to save The Old World.
So long as you evade the Darkest Dark, you cling to The Old World, and who can blame you?
The Ego is The Hero is not bad or wrong. To fight for survival, to fight to maintain - that’s what heroes are for:
To Fight, implies to control
To Save, implies something established
To Survive, implies to continue
The transmutation from lead to gold requires Death, an end that leaves nothing but a grain of indestructible sand. Prima Materia. A pin point of Light:
Desire.
Pure Will.
Singularity.
One.
Light Everlasting.
In order for Light Everlasting to be expressed, it must create Dark.
No, not Must, but Just…..
