#99 - The Alchemy of The Great Work

A very important part of all alchemical training—in fact, a very important part of life—is developing true and complete health. It’s very difficult to be mentally and spiritually attuned when your body is worn out, toxic, and tired. Having a healthy body is a somewhat complex topic and for this very reason, obesity is one of the major causes of death in the United States. According to Clinical Medicine, excess weight was responsible for more than 1300 excess deaths per day (nearly 500,000 per year) and a loss in life expectancy of nearly 2·4 years in 2016, contributing to higher excess mortality than smoking.  This is crazy. If this was all there was, then this would certainly be more than enough but it’s even more complex than that.  Remember true alchemy is the art and science of transmutation. To take something of low value and transmute it into something of high value. So, in this episode we’re going to discuss how to transmute a toxic unhealthy body into a healthy one. We’ll cover a large range of topics from diet to exercise, to toxins and substances, even good sleep.  We truly hope this is valuable for you and our prayer is that it lengthens your life in long and prosperous ways. Let me just state: there is so much talk in today’s world about “making a difference”. If you’re someone who wants to have an impact and make a difference in the world then please know, you have to be around a long time to do this—because frankly—it takes a long time to truly make a difference in the world. There is no quick fix...

As we’ve been discussing the concept of “The Great Work” is to become the greatest reflection possible of God in human form. To literally become more than human. The Great Work is the foundation of all alchemy and mystery teachings. It doesn’t take much time when you observe the world today to realize that our world is in major disruption. Much more so than it’s ever been previously in my lifetime. We believe one of the main reasons we are at this point is that we have left the sacred by the wayside and plunged full force into secularism. Money has become our God, work has become our religion, and politics have become our philosophy. We’ve largely, with few exceptions, lost what we’ll call our Vertical Principal relationship (aka. Relationship with God) and when this was disconnected all we have was a horizontal viewpoint of the world (I cover this in detail in my latest book GMS). The only measure we have for what is right and true is to look around us and see what others are doing. This is problematic. To accomplish The Great Work, you must live a life in alignment with Universal Principles and Truth...

In the last episodes we’ve been discussing first what the prime objective of all alchemical traditions is: entitled The Great Work. In other words, to become God in human form or more specifically to reflect God in your body and mind through your human form and into the world. While very few individuals we meet even think much less contemplate these high ideals, the fact is that for this reason and this reason only are you here. In the traditions they maintain that prior to coming into this lifetime you meet with your own higher council, and you decide what you need to learn, what you need to heal, and what you need to accomplish in this current incarnation. Upon exit you meet with them once again and check in to see how well you’ve done. If you fail, your mission you’re recycled and sent back in once again to go through another entirely different life and to play the same game over again. I don’t know about you, but this is incentive enough for me to do everything possible in this life to ensure that I accomplish and become all I can accomplish and become. If you pass and did a great job then you are rewarded with a new life with new challenges or possibly if you have truly evolved to a very high level of awareness. You move on toward greater adventures. Now who really knows for sure if this is true… but again for us we’d rather be safe than sorry. How about you?

Are you adding value to the world or just seeking it for yourself? This is a fundamental question in all alchemical and Hermetic traditions.  We’re told that we’ve been created in the image and likeness of God. We know that God is a creative being, and therefore so too are you. But think about this: God is the life force; and God therefore must create more comprehensive life. You cannot create anything other than its own nature.  Compassion cannot create hatred. Gratitude cannot create jealousy. Expansion cannot create contraction. And life cannot create death. Life always seeks more life. And that life is comprehensive. Not specific but general. Meaning good for self, good for others, and good for the entire world. That’s the measure of anything you choose to do. Ask yourself: is this good for self, good for others, and good for the entire world?

In This episode wwe talk about "The Rules of Money" with David Henning We just met David Henning a couple of weeks ago at a large conference in Atlanta for Vantage Financial. Bersabeh and I had a presentation on day 2 of the conference and on day one the MC brought some high performers on stage and David spoke for a short moment about current events—he was the only one who shared that kind of information, and it was impressive. Bersabeh leaned over and said, “I really like that guy.” Tune in and learn the rules of money that apply to you. David will help you understand them so that it works for you instead of against you!

Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Let’s face it: That’s a tall order but that’s exactly the tall order objective of doing the Great Work. The Magnum Opus. How do you “become god in human form?” Well like most things in alchemy it is not to be taken literally. But if you continually and consistently do God’s will then you are a reflection of God. The more you do this, and the more perfectly you do this, the greater the reflection you become. When you live a moral life, when you live a just life, a fair and principled life then you are living a godly life.

You are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High. ~ Psalms 82:6   What very few understand is the objective of true alchemy.   Alchemy is a spiritual process. Turning the “lead” of low consciousness and awareness, into the “gold” of awakening.   We can’t repeat this too frequently—repetition is the second law of learning…

The number one resource you have at your disposal is time. How are you utilizing it? We’ve been discussing this over the last 5 episodes now so we’ve invested a lot of time in the concept of time. That’s how important we find it to be...
