Lead Into Gold

We can use alchemy as an outline to explain self-transformation more esoterically!

Hi, I’m Mac, your host. In this episode, we’re going to use the analogy of alchemy to examine how we can process our own transformation.

alchemy. : the medieval chemical science and speculative philosophy whose aims were the transmutation of the base metals into gold, the discovery of a universal cure for diseases, and the discovery of a means of indefinitely prolonging life

Entertain the Metaphysical perspective

  • Lead(base metals) into Gold
  • Each is valuable in its own way
  • Lead: batteries, crystal, weights, storage. Can be toxic.
  • Gold: currency, jewelry, investment, awards and medals
  • we are made up of the same elements as everything else

Through a process we can affect disease and longevity

The Process

  • The Breakdown
  • Die to the five senses and embrace the beyond
  • Self-reflection: Let what needs to go, go. Let what needs to come, come.
  • Incorporate new thinking
  • Adopt practices that cultivate “newness”
  • Learn to love the dragon, and put it in its place
  • Adapt to the new you

The Maverick Perspective

  • Call it out as alchemy and embrace the unknown.

The Mystic Perspective

  • Believe that there is more going on that what is seen

The Mentor Perspective

  • Expose yourself to truth outside of your comfort zone and keep an open mind.
  • Help others to do the same.

“You’re ongoing mission, should you choose to accept it, is:

  • Decide to Go Rogue
  • Find like-minded rogurers
  • Strap on the armor
  • Storm the gates
  • Unleash the Unthinkable!
