Nowadays ,we have workshops which will help us find the tools for
transformation.We look for a way to change ourselves…But
I would like to look at
transformation from a dipper point of view.There is constant transformation in Nature. Everything changes into everything else.If we want this or not-There are inner processes of growth and transformation within our own psyche.When the conscious Ego is dissolved in the
unconscious,it can re-emerge in any shape, can identify with anything in the universe. Life and matter are inextricably bound together.In growth, puberty, menopause, old age, we experience how the outward appearance of the inner transitions and transformations affect the body.In old Myth and Art we meet animals who are turned into humans, (They represent our blind moods and passion which are humanized) and also Humans turned into animals, which says that animal instincts are in control in the forests of the unconscious.The frog makes the transition from water to land, from unconscious to conscious, and back. The axolotle (seemingly almost by choice) remains newt-like in the water, while its relatives become the land-going salamanders. Hence the axolotl is a symbol of refusal to mature.Most Gods, goddesses,Witches and wizards have the power to change shape: sometimes specially from maiden into crone and back; from count to vampire-bat,etc; also from human to bird; All reflecting the different modes of the conscious psyche.The transition of the caterpillar into butterfly represent the transition from physical, earth-bound sensation to the flight of the mind experienced inwardly.Goethe said: Transformation and again transformation is the eternal entertainment of the eternal spirit.When in myth men turn into gods, it is the final goal of all such transformation: discovering the true nature of life, and of the Self.
