an alchemical vessel
what is the nature of the vessel? for me, this is a koan and a quest... as i contemplate this question, i find myself ever more deeply fascinated by the thought of the alchemists and depth psychologists...
"... the circle and the hermetic vessel are one and the same, with the result that the mandala, which we find so often in the drawings of our patients, corresponds to the vessel of transformation."
- c.g. jung, from mysterium coniunctionis (page 15)
i will return to these thoughts...
may all travelers find questions!!
