The need for a symbol in ancient times
Long ago, in ancient times, some people must have been aware that philosopher's stone must exist, because they had a great need for it. Many started looking for the object, some tried to create it in a physical sense, and many people were also aware that if object existed, it would be intended for only one person, and other people would be deprived, and perhaps the use of that object would be very fatal to mankind if it fell into the wrong hands. There must have been a couple of sages there, who understood the human need, came to the conclusion to invent a symbol that replaces the philosopher's stone in the form of an essential feature on which that object rests. How a person can achieve this feature of the philosopher's stone and use it is explained as a vague instruction in the form of a simple drawing, which in our world is called a symbol. Because the essence in human life should not be on the philosopher's stone, but on changing human characteristics from bad to better. This also makes our nature similar to the nature of the philosopher's stone, which turns base metals into gold. In our world that symbol is called Magnum opus.
The search for purpose
In the past, my days were quite stressful, even though there were no important reasons for it, there was always some restlessness, self-destructive behavior was represented, frivolity,...something was missing, some purpose, some safe harbor that whenever if I visit, it will always be correct, it will talk the same, without being too expensive, lest someone steal it from me. What was needed was a support that talks in a different way and is foreign to other people, a support that does not reveal secrets to anyone but hides important things, a support that if something is not done properly creates a second chance - a second way out, and a support through which the world around me I observe. In order to get to that support that I know today as the symbol of the Magnum opus, I spent a lot of time looking for materials on the internet, reading books on popular psychology, watching video materials in the form of various tutorials and speeches by famous and influential people, and often listening to I motivational speakers... I have had to say "NO" to people many times in my life so far in order to fight for my time to think about myself.
Time is crucial
That time that I provided for myself gave me new chances to try to establish where my strength lies and where my main stronghold is and how to continue to build myself in that direction. I discovered that I am a very thoughtful person, that I love solitude, that I often practice contemplation during my day, that I know how to produce my "private" thoughts mentally, as if l have my own garden in my head in which I plant certain plants and watch them grow and use them for my needs. In my opinion, thoughts are the smallest events in a person's life that result in larger events that he or she personally experiences. Everything starts with thoughts: how we create them, what we associate them with in our minds, how we process them, and how we use some final thoughts to make certain decisions that are the cause of certain moves we make in public.
Difference
Most people ask others for their opinion, some even live based on and n accordance with the other's opinion, they do not have their own "private" thoughts on which to rest. But private thoughts are cure for someones personality. You only know what to hold on to if you have strong walls built from your thoughts. If there are walls created from the thoughts in my mind, there is an entire fortress. Fortress means firmness and stability, ie. a strong mind rich in thoughts. A man with a strong mind very carefully determines what will be allowed to enter the door of his fortress. A man with a strong mind who critically looks at some things in his life more easily recognizes the insignificant thoughts of others, lies, improper opinions of others, fabrications,... since some of his thoughts have gained weight through frequent repetition, he sticks to his course more firmly every day. Because he firmly holds on to his thoughts, despite the pressures he endures, the person puts into practice what he has often thought. Some other person who does not have solid and clearly designed private thoughts succumbs to lifes temptations and begins to wander. To tell someone some of your private thoughts about something would be to betray the structure and plan of the fortress, which would further mean losing an advantage over someone in a certain period of life. Also, the private thoughts I have are perhaps my leading asset to guide me through life. I feel like the road is paved.
A well-kept secret is a big gain
Over time, I realized that many things of a secret nature take precedence over things of an open nature. This results in an advantage, and most often a victory that is not announced. And that's a nice feeling. Having as many quality private thoughts as possible also means keeping many events and situations in my life under control. In the days when I was experiencing many life trials and used many symbols before the Magnum opus, I remembered the philosopher's stone and came up with the idea to type in the search if there is a symbol for that thing. The search yielded a positive result, and I felt like the dwarves (Hobit) from the Lonely mountain who had dug for a long time to find the Arkenstone. When I found it, it has become landmark in my life.
Apparent meaning of symbol
The Magnum opus symbol as simple drawing with instruction consists of 4 elements. This is how I interpreted the instruction: the first smaller circle symbolizes for me the blockage or disabling of something (jammer), the second element, the square, symbolizes reasons, theories and the wider meaning of something, the third element is thetriangle, which symbolizes growth, dynamics, influence, the pressure exerted, it accurately indicates to the direction... and the fourth element is a larger circle that symbolizes the end result or a changed state or situation that can serve in many ways. Like when a lot is said with few words. When a person arranges these elements in order in some aspect of his life, man automatically achieves or imitates the main feature on which the philosopher's stone rests as an object from another reality which is not visible. So, if something was blocked for some reasons, and it experienced a rise during a certain period of time, then it is logical that the situation changed in favor of the one who started the blockade, stuck to it and stayed until the end to see the final state. When the "end state" is reached, a new blockade is put into circulation. And it goes on and on.
A symbol in action
For the demonstration of symbols, the practitioner prepares in advance, at least that's how I do it. The practitioner must be very well equipped with his private thoughts, because through them he knows what in his life he should avoid (put on block mode). I will give an example: I have a large sum of money that I can of course spend on something. I want it to be some special thing or event worth remembering and I think I am capable of such things. A friend or a person from the extended family calls me and asks me to spend time together, to hang out, to go out for drinks, to I discos.... I refuse it, I put a block on him. know it costs a lot of money and is nothing special for my life, which is the reason. After some time (triangle indicating something) I got the opportunity to get some exclusive trips that I could not even dream of (end result). Why is this better? Because it has a much greater significance. When I am at an event, people will look at me differently, they will talk to me about trips I've made, they will notice my success, and better story goes on. in I can bet that many people wish they had gone on some mega trip rather than meeting some unnecessary people and spending precious time with them and all vain. In this way, lead is literally made into gold.
Another example could be: to keep silent (disabling to tell) a bad fact about a person that if you told him/her you would humiliate him/her or even make him/her an enemy. This is how you change the situation by blocking and that person thinks well of you. Alchemy is at work.
It has some energy
The symbol indicates that I choose the moment when I will say something, where I will appear, how long I will stay, when to remain calm without retaliating rudely, how much attention to give to a certain person and how that time should be filled. It also forces me to take action, which is very difficult someone to notice. Magnum opus is a symbol of a characteristic that can be felt, because it has some energy, like any other thing. I assume that if it has the characteristic of incapacitating something, that characteristic applies equally to the aging process. Magnum opus brings back some pleasant feelings caused by events from the distant past, which makes me a somewhat rejuvenated person. Observing the world around you with the help of symbols means having a symbol in the place of the pupil of your eye. It is a matter of priority. The person observing the symbol is actually looking for an opportunity to demonstrate what the symbol represents. Most often, for a certain period, nothing happens in the life of in a person who uses a symbol, even sometimes something happens without the person still knowing that it is from the symbol, and only when person reconsiders and thinks a little, then he/she realizes that he/she did something according to the instructions offered by the symbol. That's the point, that a person often has a symbol in mind, and if a person puts the instruction from the symbol into action for his/her needs, then heart of that person also beats for symbol. If the heart beats for the symbol, the whole body has a specific energy, because the heart supplies the whole body with blood. It cannot be said that symbol is a "life giver’, but one can certainly say that it is surprising, that it is a living thing, a thing worthy of my attention.
Power of the symbol
A symbol actually becomes alive only when it interacts with a human being. By itself, a symbol means nothing. Man needs it on his life's journey full of: obstacles, trials, troubles, difficult moments... and the symbol needs a man to revive it, glorify it, live for it, watch over it, be a part of it and look at it as to the real preciousness. The magnum opus is a symbol of dynamic changes that establish essential differences between its user and the environment in which he lives. The magnum opus as a symbol is an invitation to a certain type of influence, where things must be brought to light without looking at who will be at a loss, who should be waited for, and who should be respected more, how much material is at stake, all of that becomes irrelevant. The main charm of this symbol, although in my opinion the philosopher's stone as a whole, is to show the potential danger that threatens some tempting thing that is unlikely to reach its full expansion, so that the danger will shift its focus from the user of the symbol to that tempting thing and experienced a great loss there in a certain sense, and the user of the symbol will be spared.
Conclusion
I recognize a fairy tale in my life by the glow that seems to fall on me when I spend time alone, interested in the symbol which gives me great pleasure. I don't know how long that fairy tale will last or when it will end, since there are also negative characters in fairy tales. I just know that I will continue to work on my originality, no matter how much other people want to change me in the opposite direction from the one I set for myself.
