Light of the black rose: Visionary creativity of the primordial psyche.

摘要

Light of the Black Rose explores of the womb of creation where consciousness conceives, gestates, and births itself into manifestation as the Self revealing itself. The work depicts how archetypal forces emerge through artistry, seeking to live in the mythology of our human consciousness, creating the appearance of reality as a dream.;This is a creative dissertation premised on the basis of intent ; intent here is an attunement with Self and a linking of embodiment in service to that which desires to be revealed. A deliberate activation and immersion into the unconscious is intended, cultivating collaboration with the primordial, creative psyche. Here, artistry is a methodology of hermeneutics, intent is an opening to the expanse of the psyche, and the invitation is to honor the autonomous nature of creativity.;In entering into the psyche's impulse to experience a visionary state of creation, a matrix of containment is provided in a review of literature that explores eight areas of interest: feminine shamanic perspectives, ethnographic shamanic practices, depth psychology, creation mythology, elemental consciousness, mysticism, physics and the void, and shamanic fictive works. The creative narrative that emerged from the psyche is a tapestry that naturally wove with the facets of the literature review and the many voices who spoke in reference.;The creative narrative birthed onto the page archetypal characters representing the grandmother, the weaver, the devil, and the trickster, woven into a plot line of a proposed deal of consciousness between the characters. The narrative explores a twist in the fabric of the story and reality, whereby the archaic conflict between good and evil is questioned---and proposed to be illusory. The narrative speaks of ancient wisdom of the grandmothers, shamanic dreaming, and awakened states of consciousness.;States of consciousness, as both a material and a subtle body phenomenon, are depicted as substances of exchange, commerce, and vehicles of transformation within the creative narrative. Light of the Black Rose reconstructs connectedness with ancient feminine wisdom of the consciousness of the womb itself, which weaves dreams and reality as a living tapestry.
