The False Birth of a Spiritual Form

What we are witnessing in the United States today — in the merging of Christianity with national identity, in the spectacle of “God Bless the USA” and the sanctification of political idols — is not religion, but the lower self’s imitation of revelation. It is the astral body dressing itself in divine garments.

The formula “God and Country” arises from a half-perception of the divine, taken hold of by the personality. It is Christianity without the Resurrection — the crucified ego raised not into the spirit, but into self-assertion. The divine is used as a mirror for power, not as the source of transfiguration.

Alchemy Reversed

The true alchemy of spirit and matter — of God and the world — demands transformation of substance, not its self-justification. It requires that the “I” die into transparency, so that the higher self may act through it. This cannot be performed by declaration or spectacle, but through an inner process of metamorphosis.

Hence the actual alchemy of how this should in truth take place, is something altogether different. That alchemy cannot be believed in — it must be experienced, suffered, and shaped— its technicality understood.. That is why art, gesture, and film are needed — to reveal this process not as abstraction but as becoming visible in movement and light.

Truth as Mobile Reality

The fixation on “truth” as an object is itself part of the problem. Truth cannot be possessed; it is a relationship. When truth becomes a possession, conflict begins: “I have my truth, you have yours.”

But when truth is understood as living, it can appear in countless facets, like a kaleidoscope of lawful transformations. Each viewpoint is valid insofar as it reveals one aspect of the whole.

The Left, in grasping for inclusivity, often dissolves the archetype itself into pure relativity — “my truth” without the archetype that holds it.

The Right, in reaction, hardens the archetype into an idol — “the truth” without movement.

Both lose the living center: the Christic middle, where truth lives as metamorphosis.

The Form That Is Still to Come

The true spiritual form of our time will not be an institution or a creed, but a field of becoming — a place where reality can remain mobile, yet faithful to its inner lawfulness. This form must arise through perception, not opinion; through inner movement, not proclamation.

And this is exactly why this translated in say video form, together with the “seeing” of form in motion, can be one of the rare ways to begin to make this visible.
