WHAT IS THE TRANSFORMATIONAL
PROCESS?
THE PRINCIPLE OF THE CORE SELF
(OR TRUE SELF) & THE FALSE SELF.
We are born as a perfected Soul carrying
DNA encoding which programs the Superconscious & Unconscious states,
to set up the necessary familial, societal & environmental conditions
to create our psychological matrix. From this matrix evolve our
belief systems & resultant behaviours, so ultimately our Soul may
grow through the necessary lessons for the lifetime & synthesise
these into the overall Soul's journey toward atonement. The Souls'
needs for growth are able to be identified as the themes & issues
of challenge which are contained in the Planets in relationship
to each other on the 3 Crosses - Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable - or
planetary voices in hard aspect.
The Perfected Potential Soul Self
is known as the CORE SELF or TRUE SELF.
Because of
the early conditioning experiences up to the age of 7 certain natural
& instinctive characteristics and behaviours become modified or
adapted (i.e. from Parent responses, permissions & injunctions or
don't messages.... in other words there are no such things as perfect
parents). As a result, a series of protective armorings & encasings
develop & gradually build, until the Core Self becomes surrounded
by a wall (Saturn) of false or unnatural behaviours. This is known
as the False self and is in place by the Age of 7 (First Saturn
square), and re-enforced up to age 14 (Saturn opposition ).
Most of us then go into the world attempting
to get our needs met& get loved, safe, happy and secure, operating
from this conditioned False Self and then wonder why our goals for
happiness, joy and success are not met! Most folks stay in this
state for all of their lives, playing out the scripts of a conditioned
experience complete with unconscious games, favourite bad feelings,
& alienation from society and themselves in their power in some
form.
The goal of
the Transformational Process is to release the cellularly encoded
unconscious conditionings which the Soul has set up in the first
place, to meet the challenge of the lifetime's growth - thereby
enabling the limitations to be made conscious, then healed & integrated
so a conscious union between our inner instinctive & creative potential
(Soul), and outer energetic creative expression (Spirit) becomes
possible. This is the goal of the Alchemical process known as the
Grand Conjunctio or Divine Marriage or Union of Opposites.

WHAT
IS THE TRANSFORMATIONAL PROCESS?
THE PRINCIPLE
OF THE CORE SELF (OR TRUE SELF) & THE FALSE SELF.
Whether this process is ever triggered and what provokes it
is indeed a great mystery, & it appears that many many lifetimes
in the unconscious ego state are lived before the Soul makes
it's impression felt. Indeed
the Esotericists say that the single greatest point of evolution
that the Soul experiences is when it becomes aware of itself!
Once it knocks on the door of our conscious
self and triggers the journey of the self home to its Self,
a series of "initiations" must be passed through before the
evolutionary growth is achieved. Along the way the old conditioned,
negative & restrictive ego qualities begin to break down,
to enable the True and Core Self to be revealed and gradually
given permission to exist in its true power.
The
term for the breaking down function from old False Self complete
with over-compensations, sabotage mechanisms etc., is FRAGMENTATION,
and is an extremely painful & dis-orientating process. In
Astro speak we can pinpoint this potential by observing Pluto
transits to personal planets, especially the Sun & Moon. However,
the Pluto transit does not of its own accord guarantee the
death/re-birth principle will be enacted, as an unconscious
Pluto transit can just be loaded with pain & loss, without
the higher principle or transpersonal awareness being gained
- hence the "great mystery".
i.e. How do we know when Pluto will shift from wholly unconscious
& operating only as an agent of the collective disempowered
urge, to potential consciousness.
The great transformer can also
be the great destroyer as we well know, and being able to
begin to use Pluto's power as an agent for conscious transformation
requires a great degree of self mastery & self acceptance.
