Inner Work Guide's Alchemical Gnosis Yoga of the West

Alchemical Medicines of the Soul were used in ancient timesby the Royalty and high priests of Egypt.

I give the above admonition because truly no one can promise you success in this work. You can do everything right and still not achieve a result. If that dose of reality has made your conviction falter, you may leave, the sorting hat has done its job.

This is my second book on the subject of alchemy. Its intent is to help person gain an understanding about how to use the products that could be made from the following the directions in my first book "The Minor Opus."

I was recently asked by a Traveler who completed AIR II, what to expect next in the work, or as he put it ‘I wanted to ask you – do you have any advice on what comes next?’

First let’s revisit my definition of the work which is: ‘AlchemicalGnosis is the process of using Alchemical Medicines of the Soul with conscious intent, within the paradigm of Hermetic philosophy, with the goal of stimulating the opening of the human body's spiritual energy centers, in order to establishknowledge of, and communication with, your Inner Master.’

Do you remember that scene in Dune where Stilgar took Lady Jessica to witness Jamis’s water reclamation by the Freman Deathstill?

It was not just a physical reclamation of water for drinking and the things of life, it was more. It was the reclamation of every thing that Jamis experienced.

We are not what we seem, and our beginnings are not what we think. Souls mature in groups and thus we cycle through incarnations within the same soul-family or egregore.

Soul families and biological families are separate things, though members of a soul family will from incarnation to incarnation at times be a mate, parent, sibling, cousin, or close family friend.

Last week we signed off with the sentiment that ‘the universe is not rejecting you, it is mirroring you.’

What it mirrors is the frequency put out by our human instruments and that is a resonance soaked in fear emanating from the vast majority of us.

There is a quote I came across in one of the Parachemy issues from Paracelsus College that went ‘in the beginning is what no one knows and every religion tries to teach.’

It should come as no surprise that as an Alchemist, I break things apart that is the first step in the Spagyric method to break or separate a thing into what alchemy states are its essential or principal parts.

The first thing to separate students from is their erroneous view concerning themselves, and the expectations that misaligned view engenders about the universe.
