The Englishman talks to Santiago about alchemy but feels disappointed with his superficial understanding of the practice. Can anyone be an alchemist? Can you practice alchemy? What religion is alchemy? Is magic alchemy? What is taught in alchemy? What is the alchemy class in Harry Potter? Do Hogwarts students pay tuition?
Why did Hermione take Muggle Studies? Why are the Weasleys poor? Can you be a student at Hogwarts? Is Hogwarts a real school in real-life? Where is the real Hogwarts Castle? Is Hogwarts tuition free? What are the goals of Alchemist? What did alchemists believe? What is alchemy give an example? What is spiritual alchemist? What is an alchemist personality? What is a divine alchemist? Alchemy has been practiced in Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt, Persia, India, and China, in Classical Greece and Rome, in Muslim civilization, and then in Europe up to the 19th century—in a complex network of schools and philosophical systems spanning at least years.
In the field of Alchemy, Alchemical Circles are an aid to magic that alchemists have discovered. It uses the memetic properties of magic in general in order to make it easier to perform certain feats of magic, make them more powerful, or even possible at all.
Alchemy is the very old study and philosophy of how to change basic substances such as metals into other substances. Some alchemists used metals like gold or silver to represent spiritual or occult ideas. People in many different countries studied alchemy. Isaac Newton was one of several great scientists captivated by alchemy. Alchemists developed many instruments later used in chemistry, including bellows and flasks.
But the alchemist in me was ready to wake. Often this energy is recognized as orgasm not as in climax, but as in the force of life that runs through everything , or as the chi of the Taoists or the magical sekhem of the Egyptians and everything in between.
This inner energy is an endless source of mostly untapped power that if cultivated can often be the difference between the average version of you and the super-human super-powered badass medicine version of you. So here are a few pointers of how I did it:. I became friends with my sexual energy. Even though I felt so detached from it at times, it was there and it was just waiting for my attention! I studied and taught Kundalini Yoga, I went on the hunt for meditations that helped me focus on the connection with my body and create clear pathways in my system for the energy to run through.
I also practiced and trained in Orgasmic Meditation. Working with orgasm, I quickly found that the stuckness, the impurities, and the negativity were blasted right out of my system. A hidden part of me arose like the phoenix from the flames, brand new and with the light of orgasm burning like embers through my eyes.
My mental faculties were polished, my capacity to contain more desire, more heat, more emotion and more of my essence were greatly increased. It was time to come out and play! And with the passing of time, I became aware that I could only sustain the truth in my body—anything that was out of balance with it was no longer welcome.
I expanded my heart. This is the second element that is essential to embody for alchemists. Everything must pass through the 4th gateway, the gateway of the heart. Without love we withdraw, deplete, and die. Without love we cannot flourish, and babies cannot live.
So it stands to reason that love binds all the ingredients of life together and makes it possible to bake them into a magnificent cake. Love is what allows the faculty of discernment to be clear and well directed. Love is what assures that the power cultivated through orgasmic practice is not left flailing like a disconnected cord but is put to good use and held in integrity. Ultimately to ignore love is to risk falling into force, manipulation and more devious forms of magic.
So I make sure that I have a daily practice that connects me to my heart, to self-love and to Mother Nature. I keep an altar at home and every morning before I start my day, I light a candle, say a prayer to call in my guides and ancestors, call in all the elements and set my intentions. Altars are magical portals that allow us through ritual to stay connected to our higher selves, enlisting the support of the cosmos.
I also have a practice of speaking my desires. I make sure that I tune in with myself and ask myself what it is I really want in each moment. Deciding on the vanilla ice cream instead of the mint chocolate chip is a huge act of love. Saying yes and no when I really mean them is a radical act of self-love. I began to cultivate the true essence that I had discovered in Step 1. I filled up with inner energy until I began to live from overflow. Living from overflow meant that I was able to give back to my environment effortlessly because I was no longer drained, hungry or lacking.
When I hit this state of flow I knew I had broken through the heavy wall of resistance holding me back and my life moved seamlessly into place. Finally I was able to focus my attention on what it is I really came to do, which seemed to pour out of me in a way that it never had before and with so much ease and grace and undoubted direction, that I finally could embark on the true journey of my life. I was ready to begin to serve others and to communicate what had been learned.
It was time to implement my vision and to share the medicine of my essence with others. Since then I have guided many people through this same process. Each one has found their inner medicine. But there is one common thread that binds us all: Getting to know ourselves is where our power lies. After a lot of adventures, for better or worse, he decides to return home only to find out that the treasure he so longed for had been in his backyard all along.
However, all those experiences were necessary for him to develop discernment so that he could SEE the treasure. How are you going to see the sunlight if you are always blocking it with your umbrella?
Contrast is helpful when it comes to seeing nuances, and to feeling appreciative of the good stuff. When you find yourself in a state where you experience negative emotions, you have two options. You can resist it and make things more complicated for yourself. Or you can accept it fully through surrender. It can help to first go into the emotion fully, and then release it. A tip is to put an alarm for the time you allow yourself to experience the emotion fully — a few minutes should be enough — before you release it permanently.
More generally speaking, t ry and focus on the aspect s that inspire gratitude in you in any and all situations you find yourself in. Gratitude is what allows you to see your treasures. Focusing on gratitude not only creates happier future moments but also reflect s back gratifying previous experiences, which can help you through whatever you are going through. This is so because the mind will spot and bring back to you memories from its database that match your current state of being, as discussed in this article.
If you want to know the future, look at your present. When you learn to extract gratitude from hardships, you have become an alchemist. You have learned to transform ordinary metals into gold. Alchemy never was a matter of metals — it always was, and still is, a matter of transformation.
Transformation of what exactly? Transformation of Consciousness. Remember, the mind vibrates higher than the body.
Consider this: which is easier to manifest, an idea or an action? An idea, right? If you take action holding a negative expectation in your mind, manifesting a positive outcome will be against all odds. It will be a struggle. If you take action holding a positive expectation in your mind instead, your expectations and the outcome will be aligned. We live in an attraction-based Universe.
