Sentinels of the Threshold: The Winged Visitation | Nov 2013
[INWARD STONE] STAGE IV (RUBEDO)
RESEARCH NOTE: The Metabolic Integration of the Guard. This signifies a shift from simply being aware of high-frequency presence to truly embodying the rubedo stage. The shared meal illustrates Metabolic Integration: the information of the ‘Winged Visitation’ is being ‘digested’ and absorbed into the somatic life-force.
THE VISION: Two human-sized parrots stand at the threshold as guardians. They are invited into the house, where we share a meal. The immense scale of the birds humbles the ego, while the black feathers and red patches signal the emerging force of the rubedo.
