In spiritual alchemy, leucosis is the bloated white underbelly of albedo, the purification. Leucosis corresponds to psychic disease or weakness. This can happen during the color phase therapy process, especially as the albedo phase comes into realization.
Medically, leucosis or leukosis is a disease mainly affecting cattle and poultry, corresponding to leukemia in humans. The disease attacks the white blood cells, weakening the immune system. Pallor, fatigue and weakness are among the symptoms.
Spiritually, while problems like this will occur at any time during the color phase processes, they're most likely to appear during the transient phases as the practitioner moves from one phase to the next. It's important to integrate the nigredo stage before albedo.
The albedo phase strengthens the spirit based on the success of the previous stage. Distractions, anxiety, inability to relax and insomnia might occupy the mind, diminish the strength of the body and overrun the spirit. This imbalance is seen in the Unity of Opposites.
Before 1850, leucosis is one of the four humors, white or clear, corresponding to phlegm. Phlegm means in this context any clear or white body fluids such as mucus, saliva or sweat.
A person who is phlegmatic, having an excess of phlegm, is described as apathetic, lazy, reclusive and anti-social. Described as "wet" and "cold", phlegm in insufficient quantity can cause fever or hot flashes. Hydration is recommended.
Most people go through this phase at one point or another. It's a time to take a deep breath, sit back and seriously look at life, and the connection between spiritual and physical realms. White relates to the Crown Chakra, or seventh chakra, at the top of the head.
This chakra is crystal clear or white. It rules connection to Spirit, higher wisdom, harmony with the divine essence of life. Blockage of Crown Chakra causes lack of purpose, disconnection, confusion, feelings of isolation. This equates with the condition of leucosis in spiritual alchemy.
Spiritual leucosis also symbolizes the inability to escape certain attachments or limiting beliefs. It expresses the need to rise above these things, as they drain vitality. Changes must happen in the mind to bring about perspective, forgiveness and resolution.
For leucosis, the process itself is the cure. Coming from the shadow lands of nigredo, one is sure to bring along a part of this darkness, as all colors have some of the others inside. However it is a resolved darkness, the opposite of whiteness, without harmful emotion.
If this resolution has not taken place nigredo can intrude further in the realm of albedo. and there is conflict. This is a sign, arcane as signs often are, the practitioner is on the right track. Basically the substances shed during nigredo need to be filled with the light of albedo.
Conflict is also a sign to reflect on harmonious interaction of nigredo and albedo. Awareness of these principles leads to a more aligned sense of the whole. During any phase, if friction happens it's recommended to pause and examine the conditions of its existence.
The practitioner can spend as long as desired working through the color phases, the challenges and discoveries presented in each. Within the framework of a holistic progressional therapy, it's a deeply individual life experience.
