Physical Alchemy

Transmutation of one substance into another such as base metals into gold,
water into wine, etc., is the physical aspect of alchemy. It is often referred
to as the "Greater Circulation." Much charlatanry and quackery became involved
with this aspect and many people were cheated by rascals who claimed that they
had in their possession the Philosopher's Stone that could effect a
transmutation of base metals into gold. Human greed knows no bounds; the poor
wishes to be wealthy, the rich aims to be wealthier, and with all their
efforts Cheap
Danilo D'Ambrosio Jersey , whether successful or not, sorrow and
suffering is the karmic result.

Aspirants of the Ancient Wisdom are taught that the world of form is
transient and that one's happiness should not be based upon something that is
illusory. Illusions do not last and they are not eternal. They bind man to a
false sense of human limitation. They enslave man to matter by seducing him to
indulge in things that hampers the development of the soul. Truth and the Real
are that which is eternal and they are to be found in the "kingdom of God"
within us. Unfortunately, most Christians overlook this one of the most
important injunctions of the Nazarene Master. The ancient precepts advises us
further that the less earthly desires one has, the richer one truly becomes.

The "Lesser Circulation" of the herbal family is also included in this
category of Physical Alchemy. The main object of this work is the search for a
universal panacea that would cure the ills and sufferings of humanity. This is
quite a noble desire should the lucrative aspect and profit motive be absent; it
would exemplify the Bodhisattva ideal.

In contemporary times, there are many of those who have claimed to have
accomplished a successful transmutation in their laboratories, even teaching the
secrets of the art to their ardent followers.


Biological Alchemy

When alchemists realized that they were advancing in age and were no closer
to the goal of physical transmutation Cheap
Daniele Padelli Jersey , they sought a way to stall the process of
old age, to regenerate the body, and even to acquire a degree of physical
immortality and biological immunity to diseases that humankind is so prone.

With such an object in view, they commenced their search for an "Elixir of
Life" that would prolong their physical existence. At the very onset, the search
took them to the field of herbalism, for many plants were believed to possess
the traditional virtues of the fabled "Fountain of Youth." The Hindu mystics
attribute such qualities to the "Soma" creeper. The Chinese Taoists declare that
a certain mushroom that they call "lung chih" has the virtue of regenerating the
physical body. The Egyptian god Thoth is also said to have described a
life-giving mushroom which conferred immortality.

At a later period Cheap
Dalbert Henrique Jersey , however, the discovery was made that the
real Elixir lied within man himself, and it had to be manufactured via
psycho-biological means. Briefly, this is the work to be undertaken at the
biological level.


Psychological Alchemy

Psychological, or "Mental Alchemy," is the science of the development of the
Mind. Of the four lower bodies Cheap
Cristian Ansaldi Jersey , the mental sheath is the only one
unstructured, as yet, into an organized body--that is, in most people. In the
course of evolution, the mental body will be constituted and coordinated so as
to allow the Ego, and the waking consciousness Cheap
Borja Valero Jersey , to function fully in the mental realm. The
"Secret Doctrine" of H.P.Blavatsky tells us that in the Fifth Round the mental
body is expected to be fully developed. Mental Alchemy accelerates the evolution
of the Mind. It permits its practitioner to acquire in the Fourth Round what
Nature intends humankind to attain in the next with her somewhat languid
process. Mental development entails the development and the refinement of the
following abilities, qualities, and faculties:

1) A universal attitude and perspective

2) Imagination

3) Concentration

4) The ability to reason inductively, deductively, syllogistically,
analytically Cheap
Antonio Candreva Jersey , analogically, etc.

5) Mental quietude

6) Abstract thinking

7) Divine thinking

Mental receptivity

9) Visualization

10) Discrimination (Viveka)

11) Detachment (Vairagya)

12) Meditation

13) Mental creation Etc.

Before quick progress can be made in developing the above faculties, the mind
has to be purged of all the phobias, neurosis, and psychosis that are infecting
it; even the guilts, resentments Cheap
Andrea Ranocchia Jersey , and sinful feelings torturing one's
consciousness. The aspirant is advised to forgive--forgive self and forgive
others. The steps of conviction, contrition, confession, consecration, and
communion should be adhered to when one desires spiritual unfoldment.

One of the other steps to be taken is the unification of the male and female
aspects of the psyche. Psychoanalysis, however Cheap
Andrea Pinamonti Jersey , has only touched the outer fringes of the
mind with its inner probings.

Mental Alchemy, like the previous categories, is not considered the ultimate
goal of Alchemy. They are but stepping stones leading to Transcendental Alchemy.
More on Mental Alchemy and the general laws governing transmutation may be read
in the Kybalion written by anonymous initiate-writers.


Transcendental Alchemy

All things in their natural unregenerated state are considered dead by
alchemists. Man in his natural state is in a state of death. Master Jesus voiced
this precept when he declared, "let the dead bury the dead." Transcendental
Alchemy raises Man from the "State of Nature, to a State of Grace." The process
reunites the sadhaka, the disciple Replica AC Milan

This is the "unio mystica" sought fervently by mystics of all Ages. When Man
