Description
'Alchemy is the ancient art of transformation by refining the impure into the pure. It is thousands of years old in both the East and the West, and is generally considered to be the precursor of chemistry. It is a mystery teaching and thus is both an inner and outer art. The outer art of alchemy is the transmutation of base metals, such as lead, into silver or gold. The inner art of alchemy is the attainment of immortality...the gold of enlightenment. Life itself is alchemical. We go through life striving to improve ourselves, to refine away our impurities. The goal we seek is the gold of wholeness or enlightenment - Jung called it individuation - that illuminates our understanding of our eternal essence. Our dreams are an important part of this process, revealing information about the alchemical stages we pass through in life'. (Author unknown)
