I recently read a book on Alchemy written by Mark Prophet which I loved, so
I include here now many quotes that held my attention.
The most insidious type of bondage is that in which the prisoner is not
aware of his chains. I am certain that the real science of alchemy can serve
to set free everyone on earth who will accept it. Therefore, out of respect
for its supreme purpose, I consider it to be the sacred science. Remember,
blessed children of men, that the purpose of true science should be to
increase happiness and to free the race from every outer condition that does
not serve to exalt man into the pristine greatness of his original cosmic
purpose.
Beloved ones, you must be sane and balanced in all you do, but realize that
true science borders on the miraculous to those who do not understand its
formulas. Without faith it is not only impossible to please God, but I
declare unto you, it is impossible to manifest the perfection of his laws.
Let there be light within your personal orbit and within the sphere of your
being. Life is not an experiment, but mankind has experimented with it.
Humanity has ridden the tide of the peripheral world of effects while
neglecting the inner creative calm. All unhappiness is rooted in basic
factors or cause. Mend the flaws and you shall be self-healed and
self-revealed. The alchemy of action is its own proof.
Let us see now how reasonable it is to suppose that enough people serving in
harmony can change the most calcified condition and create an influx of love
that will sweep the hills and valleys with an inspired movement to heal the
breath between the realities of eternal alchemy (the all-chemistry of God)
and the artificialities which rise from the caves of base error. Then
the emerging gold of personal integrity and personal integration will be a
gift equally shared by all, individual man will reflect pure genius and the
social order will reflect the kingdom of heaven.
No longer act from the vanity of desiring recognition, but from the valor of
necessary achievement and because service is needed and worthy in itself.
God needs a vehicle through which to manifest in the world of form, and you
lend your hands and feet to him!
Consider all the beauty of life which can be. Perceive this as pure gold.
All causes of unhappiness, every vibration of discord, fear, doubt,
suspicion, condemnation, criticism, judgment, self-righteousness, and all
negative traits are part of either the human mold or the mold which must be
purged as dross before purity can so regenerate a life stream as to enable
the individual to partake of the waters of Life freely.
It is not enough that men come to drink when the invitation from higher
sources has gone forth. They must make new skins to retain the new wine of
infinite goodness and purpose.
This is spiritual alchemy; and wise are they who first master it in
themselves before attempting to govern the elements in others or in nature,
for thus is karma justified by wisdom and rendered benign.
The mind of Christ is synonymous with the mind of Light and characterizes
one whose attunement is specifically directed to the Higher Intelligence.
The inflow of impressions from the world at large should be directed by the
student for comparison and proof to the pure patterns of the purposes of
heaven.
Saint Germain on Alchemical Manifestation
Light is the alchemical key! The words "Let there be light" are the first
fiat of creation and the first step in proper precipitation. First create a
mind blueprint of the object you wish to produce. This should incorporate
definite size, proportion, substance, density, color and quality. The words
"It is finished!" are therefore the second fiat of creation following "Let
there be light!" Now that you have created a thought matrix and sealed it
against the intrusion of impinging mind radiation from others, set up either
consciously (in some cased through jealousy or ego) or unconsciously by the
mass mind's collective resistance to progress, you must observe the third
rule to protect your creative intent and "tell no man".
So steps for manifestation require:
First design a mental matrix of the desired object, then determine where you
wish it to manifest.
.. Memorize its atomic pattern . if not, call to the Divine Intelligence
with your Higher Mind to register the pattern for you from the Universal
Intelligence and impress it upon your memory body and your mind. Recognize
that light is an energy substance universally manifesting on earth, thanks
to the sun centre of being, the focal point of the Christ in this solar
system. Call for light to take on the atomic pattern you are holding, to
coalesce around that pattern, and then to 'densify' into form. Call for the
multiplication of this atomic structure until molecules of substance begin
to fill the void occupying the space in which you desire the object to
appear. When the total outline is filled with the vibratory action of the
fourth-dimensional substance representing the desired manifestation, ask for
the full lowering of the
atomic density into three-dimensional form and substance within the pattern
established by the matrix of your mind; and then await results.
Remember, blessed ones, despair destroys the very faith upon which your
experiment is built. To your new ideas you must give you time and your
energy. Thus you begin to weave a web of fruition dedicated to spirituality,
to the spiritualization of the material consciousness, and to the
materialization of heavenly concepts right here on earth where the kingdom
of God must come into manifestation.
When you are dealing with instantaneous manifestation, the velocity and
intensity of light must reach startling speed and power. By stripping human
thought and feeling vibrations from the creative grace enfolded within each
atom of the creation, the whole substance of life gleams, purified by
eternal hands.
St Germain on Prayer:
Prayer opens the door of God's intervention in human affairs. It provides an
avenue whereby the Ascended Masters and cosmic beings who desire to serve
the planet earth and
its evolution can walk within the folds of universal justice and render
special assistance because they have been called upon to do so. For the law
decrees that the heavenly hosts must be petitioned by some among mankind,
must be invited to intervene, before they are permitted to intercede on
behalf of humanity.
To the alchemist the value of prayer is manifold. In addition to the
aforesaid benefits, it provides an impetus to enhance his values and further
the goal of divine truth while the mental mold is in the process of coming
into physical manifestation. The call of beloved Jesus at the hour of his
greatest testing, "Nevertheless not my will, but thine will be done!"
teaches a more advanced law of alchemy. When spoken by the alchemist at the
moment of
sealing of the matrix, this call ensures that the guiding forces of power,
wisdom and love will amend the precipitated pattern where necessary in order
that the more perfect designs of the Creator may come forth in the world of
form. Your visualization of a blue light around yourself, your matrix and
its manifestation will serve to focalize the desired protection.
The highest symbology of all known to us at inner spiritual levels if the
science of engrammic rhythms. This study deals with the control and release
of energy, with engrams (which term we use to refer to the causative key
behind the effects observed by worldly scientists and called by them
engrams), with the use of mantras, with the storing of fohatic energy, and
with safeguards activating principles of demarcation between the evolutions
of the human consciousness in the planes of Matter and the world of perfect
divine order that exists in
the planes of spirit.
Giving to this blessed Higher Mind, or Christ Self, the responsibility for
designing and perfecting the embryonic ideas and patters of his creation.
Remember, twenty-four hours of each day your Higher Mind is active in
expanded dimensions. This blessed comforter, unknown and inexperienced by
you outwardly, waits to be called into action and does function free of
ordinary space/time limitations. Employ your Higher Mind, then, both as your
apprentice and as your teacher.
... retained in humility my faith in the power of Good to endure forever.
The use of the term light in alchemy includes light and its known visible
aspects as well as in its invisible characteristics, some of which are yet
unknown to physical science.
.. by disciple, faith, and meditative quietude establish the necessary mind
control.
Beloved ones, with God all things are possible! If you possess his
consciousness, then it is now so for each of you - all things are, in fact,
immediately possible to you in manifestation. If this is not your
instantaneous experience, then you need more of his consciousness!
This spiritual magnetism, infused with creative intelligence, power, and
love, is a flux whose density permeates the entire sphere and realm of each
atom, extending outward into molecular and cellular composition and thence
through the elemental phases of nature, manifesting into planetary scale.
And when correctly understood, these particles shall be known to be whirling
in infinitely fantastic orbital paths through solar, galactic, and universal
densities. You see, blessed alchemists, your thoughts and feelings are the
culmination lines that adjust and align your energies, focusing them through
the lens of consciousness according to your free will for either
constructive or destructive designs in the world of form.
The primary deterrents to precipitation should be recognized as (1)
inharmony in the feeling world; (2) a sense of loneliness or abandonment,
and (3) a sense of smallness or insecurity and doubt.
. a true spiritual adept, he has developed the powers of love and wisdom
within the framework of universal law. He is innocent of harm to any, and
his alchemical feats reflect his selflessness. We simply invoke from God the
purity of his divine plan for right change. Fro the highest alchemy, the
greatest change, is that which changes man into a god, wherein the son
becomes one with the Father; and this can never be accomplished by
mechanical means. The power of vision is central to our invocation.
Therefore, we shall create in our minds first a milky white radiance, and we
shall see this milky white radiance as an electronic vibratory action of
vital, moving, ineffable light. The concentration of the light, which we
call the density of the light, is that which makes the milky white colour.
If the could were attenuated, we would be able to see through it as though
the scenes around us were enveloped in a fog.
Now, having created in our minds this form of a bright translucent cloud, we
allow it to enfold our physical bodies and to occupy our force-field. For a
moment we become lost
in the midst of the cloud, and then it seems as though it has always been
there. Its atmosphere is familiar, comfortable. We recognize that the mind
has the power to expand its circle of influence, but we must not try to move
far from the parent tree of self. Let this bright and shining cloud at first
be nine feet in diameter around oneself. Later, perhaps, we shall expand it
to a diameter of ninety feet, then nine hundred feet and further.
Actually, whereas I have used the word create it would be more appropriate
if perhaps I used the word magnetize; for we are actually magnetizing that
which is already everywhere
present in space. We are amplifying an intense action of the light from
within its own force-field - more than would normally would manifest in a
given area. We are thereby drawing upon universal God-power to produce this
cloud that first penetrates and then hallows our immediate force-field in
order that we may have a spiritual altar upon which we may project the
pictures of reality that we desire to create.
Where you are yet ignorant of just what you ought to produce for yourself
and others, you can, in a gentle, childlike manner, ask God to produce out
of the great pool of his light -energy the miracle of his healing love not
only in your life and in the lives of your loved ones, but also in the lives
of the multitudes in the world at large.
You can ask the power of God and of the kingdom of heaven to come into
manifestation upon earth. You can ask for the golden age to be born, for an
end to strife and struggle
and all negative and hateful manifestation. You can ask for Love to take
dominion over the world. If you will open your heart to the needs of the
world and to the love of the Divine Mother that seeks expression through
your uplifted consciousness, limitless ideas for universal service will flow
into your mind.
Alchemy is not a devilish means of bringing forth riches and honour. It is a
spiritual, all-loving science of changing the base metals that make up the
synthetic image of man into the pure gold of the Real Image that he may
implement his wise dominion over the earth.
Remember that once you have held the vision of the cloud and turned it over
to your Higher Self to sustain, to the latent God-faculties within you, your
God Presence will sustain it for the required period. In time you will find
that the glow of the cloud will softly suffuse itself through your physical
body, and as this takes place there will come a sharpening of the mind and a
new sense of awareness of all life everywhere.
Remember that it is practice that makes perfect, that it is motive that
transfigures design, that it is beauty that transfixes the soul.
Visualization is important to the alchemist, because it is the overlay of
his visualization upon the creative cloud that actually produces the miracle
of alchemical manifestation.
To insure his freedom from the impinging thoughts of others, the matrices of
his mind must become receptive to and fortified by the thoughts of God and
there must be spaces in the time of the day when, apart from the creating of
the cloud, the alchemist attunes with the mind of God and drinks in the
fragrance of his being.
True alchemy draws man close to God and to his Christ, and it enables him to
fulfill the ancient fiats "Man, know thyself!" "Create!" and "Take
dominion!" When the astral body is under the dominion of the Christ, its
power becomes limitless. When its purified energies are magnified in turn by
the moon, which is nothing more than a giant reflector, their power is
multiplied in almost infinite proportion. The alchemist uses his purified
consciousness as a reflector of solar energies much like the moon reflects
the light of the sun.
As these students develop "soul power" it is inevitable that they amplify
their negative momentums along with the great positive qualities which they
seek to manifest. For whatever is in their worlds when they are brought into
direct contact with the sacred fire must expand
even as their total consciousness expands. Thus shall divine grace fill the
temple of the mind and heart of the alchemist and make him truly a wonder
worker for God.
Nevertheless, when functioning in the world domain, they sharpen their
"worldly senses" in order to execute judgment in human affairs. But when in
childlike innocence he enters into the divine domain, he finds that all of
the universe is his - for now he belongs to all of the universe.
This sweet surrender to the mighty current of cosmic law and purity shows
him the need to transfer from the higher octaves of light into the lower
ramifications of self the power and the glory, the victory and the
overcoming, the transmittal and the transmutation. The finite mind may find
it difficult at first to grasp this principle. To make it easier, let us
explain that the consciousness of God that sustains the universe is also
within man. Now, if the consciousness of God that sustains the universe is
within man, is it unreasonable to suppose
that man can also be within the consciousness that sustains the universe?
All Power is interrelated: some is stored, some is static, some is dynamic
and subject to a rapid decay rate. All Power is subject to two primary
qualifications under the classification of relativity: divine and human, or
cosmic-universal and material-transitory. The blue plume of spiritual Power
relates to faith, goodwill, and the divine intent. The yellow plume of
divine Wisdom relates to illumination and to the right use of knowledge, the
expansion of the
intelligence of the Godhead into the chaliced heart and mind of the earnest
aspirant to godliness. The pink plume of divine Love is the crown of Life
which provides a permeation
of the qualities of mercy, compassion, justice, and creativity. Divine Love
as radiant Light is also the crown of God's happiness which he sheds forth
by his mighty light rays throughout the universe, whether the universe is
aware of it or not.
By a forthright will and willingness reinforced by the decree of your word,
remove, then all barriers in your being and consciousness that you know
impede the flow of the God flame
of illumination. Use the violet/purple flame of freedom. Welcome it into
every atom and cell of your world. Each day ask your God Presence for
greater Wisdom and for an increase of the flame of illumination and its
right use. In the name of the Christ and by the threefold flame within your
heart, demand of your great God Self a balanced flow of Power, Wisdom and
Love - and see what Life will d for you! Recognising that balance is the
golden key to Christhood, you will understand that you cannot know for
yourself nor bring into manifestation that which you have not first realised
within the realm of your outer or inner experience in God.
Some of you are aware that the study of the relationship of opposites in the
planes of relativity is reflected in the dialectic of the nineteenth-century
German philosopher Georg Hegel, who theorized that man's thought process and
all historical change result from the
interplay of three elements: thesis, antithesis and synthesis. According to
this observer of life's forces, every thesis generates its opposite, or
antithesis, and the interaction of the two produces a synthesis which
transcends both. The emerging synthesis in turn becomes a new thesis and the
entire process is repeated again and again.
Now hear the word of the Lord. In the original premise of the Godhead Power,
or the will to be, is the thesis. Wisdom is the antithesis and Love is the
synthesis. But this is not all. The cosmic white fire of the Universal
Mother now enters. Born out of the unity of the Divine Triad, She whom I
like to call the 'Luminous One" steps forth out of her latency in the fiery
nucleus of the threefold flame to become the antithesis, or divine polarity,
of this thesis of the Trinity. And out of this union there is produced
synthesis of many manifestations of the Whole - sons and daughters of God,
each one a new premise embodying the Fourfold Attributes, Father, son, Holy
Spirit and Mother!
Every system of worlds, planetary or starry body that has ever been
dissolved, whatever the apparent or scientific reason, has collapsed fro
within due to the withdrawal of the Love charge from the sun centre. The
lapse from the moment of withdrawal to the moment of dissolution may range
from thousands to even millions of years as men reckon time; or it may
consist of a few microseconds - or the pause between them. But the decay of
every system begins with the withdrawal of Love's 'lodestone' from its
centre. Love, then, is truly the cohesive Power of the universe.
One law, then, would I instill in the hearts of the students of alchemy: God
is absolutely just - the universe is absolutely just. All injustice arises
either in man's misinterpretation and misunderstanding of the flow of events
or in man's mishandling of justice. Those who have not apprehended life
correctly, those who remain ignorant of laws of divine as well as human
justice, cannot be relied upon to preserve the flame of justice.
.. it must be because he has offered the "body" of his corrupt substances to
be thrown into the crucible of the alchemical furnace!
Let us consider for a moment the development of the mind-switch. At present,
lights, elevators, doors and many devices are activated by switches or
electronically; and engineers
are at work upon a typewriter which will type phonetically sentences spoken
directly into it.
The mind switch is even more revolutionary, for it will enable men to direct
mechanical apparatus and electrical functions through brain waves by the
mastery of the energy currents flowing through the mind. Of course, many
amusing situations could be construed in which two individuals might
transmit divergent impulses simultaneously. This should pose no problem, for
they would but cancel each other out or the stronger would overcome the
weaker of the transmitted thought waves. The feeling of aloneness should be
transmuted and superseded by the certainty of all oneness. Man came forth
from God as good, and he shall return to that goodness by becoming like it
through the dignity of freedom and choice.
Escape is freedom. That which descends and is committed to form and density
must, in obtaining its freedom, ascend back to that Source from whence it
came. "Call unto me, and I will answer thee," declares the Most High God.
The Father shall reward you openly for each prayerful call you make in
secret. Within the inner recesses of your heart, unknown by
any man, you may ever silently call. There in your heart is the crucible of
the eternal essence, the white stone, the elixir and full potency of Life.
Alchemists of the sacred fire, here is the sacred cosmic formula: Theos =
God; Rule = Law; You = Being; Theos + Rule + You = God's law active as
Principle within your being (TRY).
