Harry Potter: The Road Map to Liberating Alchemy Part 3

Just as the star shone in the east at the birth of Jesus, and the birth of
Horus was announced by Sirius in the Egyptian mysteries, so Harrys birth is
announced by another Sirius. Harrys parents have a friend called Sirius,
who is Harrys godfather. 

He personifies an eternal force that was in the microcosm before the Fall,
and is now returning in order to be the pattern, the example, and the guide
for the new soul. This force is the divine plan that is linked to every
microcosm individually. It is the mental conception of the heavenly man.
This mental plan is eternal, indestructible, and made by God himself to lead
the human being to a development so utterly glorious, so full of refulgent
power, and so rapturously ecstatic that no comparison can be made to
anything on earth.

This force enters the microcosm and radiates in the alchemists aura like a
bright morning star. However there is a traitor inside the alchemist: the
ego. This is the blood- or desire-ego situated in the spleen-liver system.
Its function is to ensure the physical survival of the personality. It is
composed of the essence of the microsmic self and is therefore its close
servant. This is symbolised by Peter Pettigrew. The ego examines everything
to see whether it will be of harm or benefit to the personality. When the
new soul is born and the bright morning star begins to send its comforting
rays, the ego regards this as its property. It takes the supernal teachings
of liberation and weaves a straight-jacket around them. The mental
conception of the heavenly man is taken prisoner and put in chains.
 
This is symbolised by Sirius being sent to Azkaban. Pettigrew transforms
into a rat named Scabbers, who ends up as a pet to Ron, the earthly
personality.

The imprisonment of the divine mental conception can last many years, but if
the alchemist perseveres in his quest for liberation he will eventually
realise that the ego is betraying him and hindering his progress. The mental
image can come down into the body and literally drive the ego out of its
little nest in the spleen-liver system, from where it takes a up place in
the aura,  close to the auric self.

This is symbolised by Sirius escaping from prison and coming after Scabbers,
who is snuggled up against Rons body. Scabbers escapes and returns to
Voldemort. 

The mental conception of the heavenly man grows in beauty and power as the
candidate devotes his life to the new soul-fire burning in his heart. When
the candidate has reached a certain stage, the divine mental conception
begins to disappear from the candidates presence. 

The explanation of this goes back to the causes of the Fall. The original
human being, equipped with his divine faculties, had the task of working in
Gods creation to bring it to fruition. He was sent into the Seventh Cosmic
Plane as a sorcerers apprentice to learn and work in this vast alchemical
laboratory which the Bible calls Paradise. However he was told to work
there but not eat of its fruit. However humanity did eat this, and so the
Fall ensued. Man was meant to work in this alchemical laboratory, but not
live there. His home was the Sixth Cosmic Plane. 

Alchemy is the reversal of the Fall. When the divine mental image has
reached a certain stage of maturity, it goes back to the Sixth Cosmic Plane
within the microcosm. There it becomes the new microcosmic consciousness,
the Divine Microcosmic Sun. This is symbolised by Sirius disappearing
through the arch with the veil, known in Rosicrucian traditions as the 
Gate of Saturn. Harrys future is assured: he and Sirius will reunite.
 
A very important figure in the septology is Hagrid, Keeper of the Keys at
the school. He introduces Harry to the magical world and is obviously
equivalent to the gate-keeper in The Alchemical Wedding. This means he is a
Master of Compassion who delays his own progress on the Path to help others
find it. He loves dragons, a symbol for the fallen human being, who is known
in Rosicrucian teachings as a six-winged dragon. His brother Grawp
symbolises humanity, whom he regards as his brother.

Albus Dumbledore is obviously the equivalent of the very old man in the
Tower of Olympus in The Alchemical Wedding. He provides Harry with the
opportunity each year to pass the test which liberates him from the
appropriate plane of the fallen world, just as the old man in The Alchemical
Wedding directs the wedding in the Tower of Olympus. In both cases the old
man symbolises the holy, sanctifying spirit who is in control of the whole
process of liberation and the alchemical marriage of Soul, personality and
Spirit.

Minerva McGonagall is the equivalent to the virgin Alchymia in The
Alchemical Wedding. Alchymia conducts Christian Rosycross to each floor of
the Tower of Olympus and helps him attain complete transfiguration. Minerva
is teacher of Transfiguration. She symbolises the alchemical, astral force
which makes possible the transfiguration from a mortal, flawed person to the
immortal and perfect child of God. She will play an important role in
Harrys alchemical wedding in book 7.

Severus Snape symbolises the same aspect of the personality as the black
king in The Alchemical Wedding. That is the shadow side, the sinful past,
the occult aspect of the candidate for liberation. 

Remus John Lupin is the grey king of The Alchemical Wedding. He symbolises
the opposite of Snape, i.e. the good side, the brave and noble deeds of
the past, and the honest striving for goodness, truth and justice. However
he has a bad flaw: he is a werewolf. In this fallen world nothing is without
faults and good people can harm others without wanting to. In The Alchemical
Wedding both the black and the grey king subject themselves voluntarily to
decapitation for the alchemical rebirth. We can therefore expect both Snape
and Lupin to sacrifice themselves for the trio.
