About This Series

The Alchemical Journey represents a living exploration of the Cancer of Integration and Cancer of Eros as they manifest in individual psychological experience. Each episode builds upon the previous, creating a map for those navigating their own dark night of the soul.

This work emerges from the intersection of personal mystical experience, Jungian depth psychology, and a diagnostic framework for understanding civilizational diseases. It offers not answers but a methodology for holding the tension of opposites without collapsing into binary consciousness.
