AKASHA, BREWING & DEATH
The Akashic state of mind is one of unadulterated Love in that is an energy that is difficult to define in any limiting way. And Love itself isn’t limited.
Akasha is the energy of the 4 Principle Elements in such perfect balance that they cancel out each other’s influences by blending so perfectly with each other that there remains no distinction between them. It is no coincidence then that this is also the state of mind to which Tantra practitioners strive, attempting to blend into each other so perfectly that both perceive neither themselves nor the other at the height of the ritual, perceiving instead a perfect state of blissful consciousness in which there is nothing to experience because the usual differences that would normally cause a perception have been canceled out through a perfect balance.
Akasha is analogous to that place on a lit candle or oil lamp that is colored a deep blue or violet, located close to the wick. In this position one is neither purely the fuel, nor the wick, nor the flame itself. Rather it is a place where a transformation is constantly taking place, at the convergence of all the elements, where they all perfectly interact with each other. In that place there is an action-less action occurring constantly.
The physical location of transformation on the candle (or oil lamp) remains the most elusive to identify in any sense.
For countless centuries and millennia, alchemists have been performing experiments in laboratories to try to discover what is going on in that Akashic location of transformation, looking for words and symbols by which to identify any discernable changes in the process of transformation itself. Armed with this knowledge, they were able to hasten their own evolution by imitating consciously the processes they observed in their experiments. By this, they perfected themselves by imitating the perfection of the process of transformation on an ongoing basis. Hence the reason that these people have defined a standard definition all throughout history. Also this explains why people have such a hard time describing magicians and alchemists. Even the occultists themselves find it difficult to express what they have become, though many have done so in hopes of benefiting potential students of the occult. When one reaches a state of perfect union with Divinity, it is difficult to even think in terms of one’s own self.
When wine is left to age, what is really occurring from an occult point of view is that that yeast cells, which represent fire, have all finished their work, have died, and are decomposing at the bottom of the bottle, slowly changing back into their original biological components, and due to this process, the flavor of the wine is subtly changing until no further changes can be detected over time. This whole process is one of alchemical transformation, and is the reason that aged wine is so highly sought after. An aged wine is an example of Akasha in the physical plane.
Aged mead is also a fine example, for mead is made from honey which is the concentrated sexual fluids of a flower. To drink mead is to imbibe of one’s own Akashic perfection, to achieve perfect balance and health while alive. And this is the reason that ancient records (and some modern ones too) show that mead drinkers and honey eaters have so frequently demonstrated perfect or near perfect health, maintaining their youth and accompanying youthful abilities, thereby living a number of years that far, far exceed the norm (triple digits being easily achieved). This phenomenon has been demonstrated all though history.
Living as an alchemist, one finds that one can live as just described, though at some time or other, the Great Wine Maker will drink of you, just as It always has done. Go willingly when your time comes, for the Maker is merely wishing to simultaneously partake of, and share the alchemical wonder that is your Self, just as it has with all others like oneself. This is done through the dissolution of the Ego container, such as the wine bottle. In this Final Exit, you are poured out unto the Universe, spreading your Joy and experience to the ends of the whole of Creation.
In Truth, when one is living in the Akashic state of mind, one is actually sharing of oneself with the Universe on a continual basis, as opposed to the big sharing that accompanies the final exit of death. The spiritual master uses his Free Will to refuse as long as possible the breaking of the vessel that confines his sweet Soul in the 3 Worlds, all for the opportunity to work for the benefit of those Souls that are still trapped by the illusions of their Egos. But when the master spiritualist wishes to leave in Death, then there are no repercussions from the Creator, for all things return to It over time. It is not the Will of the Creator that all beings suffer forever, nor does it require that its Awakened Children need voluntarily sacrifice themselves forever upon the altar of matter for the benefit of their fellows, for all must evolve by their own work. When the Soul has had enough of such a huge sacrifice, it is allowed to return to the Creator with no threat of hidden punishments.
Living in a perfectly balanced Akashic state means existing in an deathless state of living, until the illusion of life finally ends in death.
