Reclaim that which was never taken away.
Seek out that which you have hidden.
Take the spear and drive it deep.
As within
So without
As above
So below
Understand this before all else:
What is right for your soul
Bears little resemblance
To what you expect.
To know thyself is the call
And the paradox.
By seeking the truth of thyself,
You discover the truth of others.
One must ****** your Minotaur,
And kiss Mephistopheles in his rage,
In order to assume your Theseus,
And fill your Faust with purpose.
I'd continue in the same vein if I weren't drunk and tired and simply out of patience. Essentially what I'm saying in a poor imitation of alchemical allegory is that the worlds outside of ourselves are bound to the worlds within.
