Mental Alchemy: Basic Theories and Exercises

Mental Alchemy: Basic Theories and Exercises is a manual on the secrets and ancient art of alchemy. Alchemy is often referred to as the magical process of turning base metals into gold, as well as the search for the so-called Philosopher's Stone, which holds the power of immortality. However, it should be understood that true alchemy is a mental work and true transmutation is a mental transmutation. The idea of turning base metals into gold is the physical equivalent or a mere symbolism of the true work of the alchemists who deal directly with mental transmutations. It is a basic and well-established teaching in magic that all things are of the mind. According to the Hermetic universal law, "The All is Mind; the Universe is Mental." Since all things are of the mind, it follows that he who gains control and power over the mind shall also gain control and power over all things, visible and invisible. This is the work of the true alchemists, and it is the work that many practitioners of magic are yearning to know and understand. Mental Alchemy: Basic Theories and Exercises reveals the essential teachings and practices of alchemy as it really is. Sadly, the modern world has corrupted the meaning of alchemy by turning it into nothing more but the pursuit of material wealth. Although there is nothing wrong with gaining material wealth, it should be clarified that the true meaning of alchemy goes beyond the mere acquisition of material things, for it has more to do with the mind and the soul. True alchemy is a mental art. Turning man into gold is just the metaphor for the actual work of turning man (metal) into God (gold). This is the true essence of alchemy, and it is, indeed, a great work that some would even consider as impossible. Nevertheless, even if you fail, it does not mean that you do not gain anything, but that you simply fall short in attaining the highest level of possible evolutions of the soul, but you will still gain and learn a lot of things along the way. Are you ready to discover the mysterious and wonderful world of alchemy? Are you ready for real magic? Now is the time to journey in search of the real Philosopher's Stone and find the true meaning of immortality -- and perhaps, the very meaning of life. Welcome into the world of one of the highest and most sacred forms of magic: Alchemy.
