The Art of Alchemy is thousands of years of experience of artistic and cognitive understanding of the symbols that dot the location criteria defined by CG Jung as a process of transformation of consciousness rational ego in the consciousness of the Self.
In contrast to the adepts of alchemy which implied a metaphysical knowledge, philosophical and esoteric symbols, considered as the science of transmutation of mental faculties which ended in the discipline of chemistry Magic operational prerequisite to conquer the powers of the intellect superconscious (the transmutation of lead gold), Art Alchemy was characterized, and still is, a cyclical preparation of the psychic material (instincts, drives, libido) to extract from the regressive introversion, the Melancholia, which manifests itself in three degrees of introversion creative psychic (Nigredo phase), sensory (Rubedo phase) and intuitive (Albedo phase).
To put it today with the words of C. G. Jung, Art Alchemy is the way of individuation. "Individuation means becoming a single being and meaning for us our individuality more intimate, ultimate, incomparable and unique characteristics, become themselves, to implement its self."
The heroic or tragic events narrated from Greek mythology, allegories and metaphors of Renaissance philosophers / alchemists to compose treatises esoteric of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, describing the painful transition from rational consciousness of the ego consciousness of the Self witness (Elixir), which is a prerequisite for the manifestation of function superconscious (the Philosopher's Stone) of the Self cognitive (Lapis)
During the trip it can take over a state of disorientation, crisis, alienation of the self, to waive their spiritual potential in favor of the social support or in favor of an imaginary meaning transmitted from the collective consciousness that predisposes to individualism self-centered at the expense of identifying creative.
The plots of cinema, contemporary expression of Alchemical, telling metaphors for the eternal psychic conflict between the social models, cultural and moral values R03;R03;and collective aspirations of the individual to express his creative self claiming the freedom to act, think, and create their own.
In the Middle Ages Art Alchemy summarizes the stages of the path through the XXII blades Tarot game detection hermetic archetypes of transformation to assimilate to the liberation of the false wrappings of the Person and the suggestive power of the unconscious images (the way of the Fool) .
The formation of the ego outgoing ends with the archetype of the "Luna", a symbol of the individual who initiates the regressive introversion in the unconscious self (the shadow) that harbor latent instincts, impulses denied and unexpressed desires, often censored or inhibited requirements by social, cultural, religious shaping behaviors, creative self-expression and the manifestation of the Self.
Between 1180 and 1390, spurred by religious movements that glorify the salvific role of the Virgin in greater detail the conditions for a transformation of consciousness that culminates in alchemy of St. Francis, Giotto and Dante ee in the study of the Arab philosophers and Alexandrian , heirs of a transformation process documented in part by the "Corpus Hermeticum" of Hermes Trismegistus.
Between 1390 and 1600 "rampant" in the unconscious creative artists and philosophers the archetype of Aphrodite "that acts as a" mediator "between body and instincts (Eros), between psyche and drives (Amor), between soul and libido ( Hermes) to emancipate man from self, irrationality and self-affirming will.
While in the Academy of Venice studying the theory of humors encoded by Galen, in the Florence, frequented by Michelangelo and Leonardo, a new form of "psychology of Aphrodite" inspired by the symbolic perception (Uranian). Sandro Botticelli painting celebrates the coming of "The Birth of Venus" in its aesthetic and philosophical.
Generated by Melancholia, Venus Urania emerges from the foam created by the testicles of Uranus by Saturn cut (the sacrifice of the drive extrovert) to induce the transmutation of unconscious perception that flows into the socket of consciousness of psychic reality (the nymph Aura) and inference symbols (Zephyr Wind) that dot the path of 'creative discovery.
In the allegory of Spring Botticelli reveals instead the sublimation process (Venus Humanitas) able to awaken the potential evolution of female perception, hitherto censored and inhibited by social and religious requirements. The emotion aroused by sexual senses (the nymph Chloris) is introverted inference symbolic and sublimated in terms of perception, imagination and creative inspiration (Flora) before being transferred on a psychological level (Pleasure), symbolic (Beauty ) and spiritual (Chastity) and finally transmuted mentally (Hermes) in logic and intuition translogica (the caduceus)
C.G. Jung says that already in late antiquity were known four stages of integration of eros female (Eva, Elena, Virgin and Sofia) within the consciousness of the ego, considered by alchemists an illegitimate, incomplete, unable to adapt to a real social life, prone to inflate the ego material, social, intellectual rather than cultivate prudence, wisdom and perfection of the interior life.
Taking a scheme already elaborated by W. Goethe, Jung describes the evolutionary dynamics of the couple "perception / eros" (Venus / Eros)
1) In the first stage eros biological-sexual (Eva) is elevated to the level aesthetic-emotional (Elena), to push for inhibition, to the high peaks of the devotion of the heart (Virgin), thus making it spiritualizzandolo and available to the unconscious perception of the archetypes of individuation (Sofia)
2) In the second stage eros aesthetic-emotional (Elena) stimulates the potential of the psyche to generate the feelings of the soul that are the foundation of mythology, art and every process of sublimation of libido in love couple (Adam and Eve), aesthetic creativity (Helen and Paris), the symbolic consciousness (the Virgin and Child) and psychological perception of the symbols of identification that dot the unconscious (Sofia and Hermes)
3) In the third stage eros creative-intuitive (the Virgin of the Book) illuminates the process of analyzing the unconscious contents: Shadow experience (the recesses of the psyche), birth translogica intuition (the child) and transmutation of perception experiences of the conflict in symbolic representation, metaphorical and allegorical path metamorphosis of the psyche.
4) The fourth stage is the complete sublimation of eros sex-cognitive (Sofia) into a passion for beauty that allows you to "regress" to life experiences, creative and spiritual realization of the Self.
Experience the passion and emotions of the heart make it look sensible intuition translogica logic and dynamics of conflict. Spiritual perception (the Virgin Mary) reveals the experience of mortification of the sexual libido, creative and intellectual "ressurrezione" in the Supreme Self (the resurrected Jesus of the alchemists), a prerequisite for "ascend" to the superconscious perception able to understand the archetypes intuition, understanding and knowledge.
