Harry Potter: The Road Map to Liberating Alchemy Part 1

How has Harry Potter been able to capture the hearts of hundreds of millions
of children and adults around the world? I believe it is due to the dual
nature of the human being. I believe Harry Potter primarily addresses the
remnant of the divine, immortal and perfect human being asleep in the heart
of the ordinary mortal, flawed person. 

Humanity as a whole is the only begotten son of God, and originally lived in
the Divine Universe. Through a catastrophe millions of years ago, known as
the Fall, part of humanity descended into this time-spatial universe.
Today humanity has forgotten its divine origins, but in the collective
unconscious live archetypes which remind us of the possibility of the return
journey. 

Since the Fall there has been a brotherhood to help those who wish to make
this journey. The members of this Brotherhood I call the Masters of
Compassion. They have been occupied for millions of years in teaching
humanity about the way back to the Original Kingdom in accordance with the
Divine Plan. 

One of their most powerful methods is to hand down symbolic stories which
resonate powerfully in the subconscious due to the archetypes. These stories
are adapted to time and culture, but are essentially the same: a special
person with a great potential for heroic, liberating deeds is hidden inside
the ordinary person. This hero is a prince, a king, or a magician who can
save the world and lead the people to a great destiny.

The stories given to humanity by the Masters of Compassion are known today
as The Bible, the Holy Books of all ages, the Greek legends, fairy tales,
and the great epics. We are privileged today to see a brand new heros
journey being etched into the unconscious of many millions. Harry Potter is
the newest version of the ancient and timeless message from the Masters of
Compassion who are calling us to awaken the inner hero capable of leading us
back to the ineffable heights of eternal life in the Kingdom of the Potter.

Since about the 14th century the Path of Liberation has been called
alchemy. Early In the 17th century the Masters of Compassion gave to
humanity a set of scriptures known as the Rosicrucian Manifestos. One of
these was The Alchemical Wedding of Christian Rosycross, published in 1616.
This very veiled and symbolic tale is a detailed and complete road map to
the Path of Liberation from this universe of death and suffering and the
ceaseless battle between good and evil. This path leads into the Universe of
Eternal Life, the perfect, selfless joy of union with God,  and the absolute
unending Good of the Divine Plan.

The Alchemical Wedding describes the processes of transmutation and
transfiguration in which the mortal human, symbolised traditionally by lead,
is transfigured into the Son of God, symbolised by gold. This process
requires the complete self-sacrifice of the old personality with all its
aspects and its past of good and evil actions. The wedding refers to the
resurrection of the inner Christ, in whom the old personality, the new soul,
and the original divine spirit are melded into one, symbolised by the reborn
King and Queen and Christian Rosycross.

Anyone who has read The Alchemical Wedding carefully will notice a
remarkable number of similarities between this and Harry Potter. Harry goes
to an ancient castle for seven years; Christian Rosycross goes to a castle
for seven days. Both heroes are given a letter of invitation during a
violent storm. Both travel across a lake with mermaids in it. Harry is faced
with being sorted into one of four houses; Christian faces four paths to
choose from. Both stories mention Paracelsus. In both stories the meals are
served up by invisible servants in a hall lighted by levitating candles.
There are many more similarities  too many to be co-incidence. 

The actual work of the alchemical processes in The Alchemical Wedding  is
carried out in the Tower of Olympus. This has seven levels  symbolising the
liberation of the entire human being with all his vehicles in the seven
planes of life. They are:
1.	the physical plane
2.	the etheric plane
3.	the astral plane
4.	the mental plane
5.	the plane of the mental ego
6.	the plane of the emotional ego
7.	the plane of the consciousness ego. 

If we study Harry Potter closely we can clearly see that liberation in the
first five planes is described in parts 1-5  in the above order.

In part 1,  the Philosophers Stone is hidden in such a way, that only one
who wanted to find the stone  find it but not use it  would be able to get
it out of its hiding place. Harry and Quirrell face the mirror together.
They see the Stone in the mirror, and both know that the Stone can bring an
unending healthy life of luxury. Harry is able to take the stone because he
doesnt want to use it. He has symbolically overcome the ties to the
physical world.

Part 2 features elves, gnomes, pixies etc. which are etheric creatures.
Harry liberates Dobby the elf by an act of great intelligence, courage and
compassion. Part 2 deals with liberation on the etheric plane, just as The
Alchemical Wedding does on the second level of the Tower of Olympus.

In part 3 Harry meets dementors, who are obviously astral as they suck out
happy emotions. The only way to drive them off is to create a Patronus
Charm. Near the end of the book Harry sees a hundred dementors heading for
him and his friends, ready to suck out their souls. He invokes his Patronus
and a beautiful silvery stag drives them all away, saving Harry and his
friends. To those familiar with liberating symbols this speaks the clearest
language possible: astral liberation is achieved by focusing on the longing
for God in the heart. Even if the whole astral world attacks you, the stag
in your heart will set you free. 

In Part 4 Voldemort challenges Harry to a duel. He utters the killing curse
and Harry casts the disarming spell. The two magic forces meet half-way and
it becomes a battle of will-power. Harrys mental concentration on defeating
Voldemort is so intense that he is able to push Voldemorts curse back into
his wand. This is Harrys victory on the mental plane.

In Part 5 Voldemort begins to take possession of Harrys mental ego but at
the climax Harry feels a powerful love for Sirius, who has died for his
sake. This drives Voldemorts possession out of Harrys mind. Voldemort
cannot bear being inside a person with so much love.
