Alchemy al•che•my | \ ˈal-kə-mē \ 1: a medieval chemical science and speculative philosophy aiming to achieve the transmutation of the base metals into gold, the discovery of a universal cure for disease, and the discovery of a means of indefinitely prolonging life 2: a power or process that changes or transforms something in a mysterious or impressive way 3: an inexplicable or mysterious transmuting Welcome to my new trance series Slave Alchemy. Here we will endeavor to take all the matter that is you and transmute it into something. different. Now, I’m not talking about your purely physical matter. I’m talking about your thoughts, your behaviors, your mind as an object. Within the philosophy of alchemy, there is a search for something called the “philosopher’s stone.” The philosopher’s stone was the “substance” that allowed for this transmutation into something more refined or evolved to occur. The core tenant of alchemy is that everything is evolving into a state of greater perfection. This includes metals, plants, creatures, humans, and consciousness itself. There are questions as to whether the philosopher’s stone/substance was an actual stone or a metaphorical stone. Clearly in the modern field of chemistry, this substance or “stone” would be chemicals as that is what shifts the composition of the material. When looking for this substance from the inner alchemical perspective the substance would be spiritual power aka life energy, love, or the soul. The soul being that element or substance which allows for transmutation from ordinary beingness into extraordinary beingness. When we are aware of the soul, interconnectedness is evident and intelligent design is no longer denied. Instead of life happening to us we realize that we are life. This is fundamental to our awakening and the essential ingredient that makes the shift from ordinary being to extraordinary being. The intimate knowing of the soul bridges the gap. The soul is the alchemical elixir, the inner philosopher’s stone, the transmutational esoteric substance that allows for the knowingness of the divine perfection of all to be revealed.
