Alchemy Alchemist Alchemical Transformation
As Above So Below
All forms are held within the womb of the world. Fire, earth, air, and water commingle and combine in a myriad of patterns as they spring forth from the ether, the fifth element, the hidden underlying spiritual foundation of perceptible physicality.
The key to performing Divine Alchemy resides in igniting the spark of sacred fire at the center of pertinent points of the crystalline etheric matrix. Only then will transformation be spiritually substantive.
Learning how to flow with evolutionary currents allows one to effortlessly float in the cleansing waters; thus, bypassing the need to undergo the suffering of the crucifixion where the karmic crucible transmutes fixed patterns of negativity.
True ascendancy is achieved when
the "Above" totally permeates personal essence "Below", raising substance to the
level of "Quintessence". The two become one not only in the melding of male and
female polarities; but; also in the mergence of the awakened, individual
divinity with the totality of Universal Spirit.

The Egyptian hieroglyph called the "Ankh", comprised of a spirit circle on top of a mundane cross, was an alchemical symbol that depicted the ascension of the soul over wordly boundaries.
Yet another Alchemical and Alchemical Transformation "As Above So Below" symbol, the "Zodiac" finds outward expression through Astrology which synthesizes how the planets and stars at the time of birth on the Earth imprinted the physical body, mind, emotions, psyche, and soul with patterns and potentials that affect every area of life in progressive cycles of growth and evolution.
Alkahest is the powerful
universal solvent from Above that facilitates alchemical transformation by
separating physical Below substance into its constituent components and
essential natural characteristics. They are rarified in the cleansing primal
waters until they are transmuted into their purest form - grosser metals into
gold; the astral body into a golden consciousness body... Continue on Go back
