The Transmutation Task Of Transition

In follow-up to Giant Tube Worms Of The Deep Sea, it emerges that these deep sea worms who dwell near hydrothermal vents not only mediate the alchemical transition from novice seeing to high-vibrational seeing, they also mediate the alchemical transmutation of sulfur (גפרית) into nourishment (הזנה).

Thus, the alchemical task which moves one from the status of novice seer into master in training is the task of transmuting hot explosive emotion, a potentially lethal yet necessary component of life, into a vital raw material which sustains life.

Most seers cannot do it. Most are destroyed by the sulfur-rich fire and brimstone environment where the transition occurs. Thank Goddess, I was not!

The giant tube worm who came to me is a totem animal. It came to mark completion of my transition from novice seer to master in training.

Giant Tube Worms Of The Deep Sea

After posting today's earlier entries, I decided to take a break from my computer to watch a little television. I turned on the television, flipping the channel to PBS. The documentary was discussing deep ocean giant tube worms. In light of my dream last night (Wind Of The Willow), I watched the discussion about deep sea giant tube worms.

Giant deep sea tube worms live around hydrothermal vents called black smokers. Adult worms have no mouth or digestive tract, grow up to 8 feet in length, dwell within a hard chitin shell, have a bright red hemoglobin plume, and live in the absence of light at depths over 5000 feet. They live in symbiotic relationship with billions of bacteria taken inside into the worm via a temporary mouth each has before reaching adulthood. The worms also have no eyes and sense via vibrations and movement.

A creature who senses through vibration, with no eyes with which to see, it is interesting that my dream reports of a deep sea big worm-like creature who is responsible for the deaths of novice seers who are transitioning from seeing into seeing from within the context of a high vibrational state.
