The Alchemical Process

Hermes says,
“You are bound to earth because of the gravity of your soul.

Once your thoughts are purified, ascent and descent are as natural as breathing since the Above is subtle and the

Below is gross.

The subtlest part of matter is soul; the subtlest part of soul is spirit and the subtlest part of spirit is God.

To travel in these realms you only need change the density of your thoughts.

First you must free yourself from the lead of denial and fear for they destroy all subtle things and make lead of gold!

You cannot ascend and still have fear. Look in the deepest of your wounds, for there lies the gold of your being.

Though it pains you, you must mine this lead from where it has accumulated. Release this treasure to the light of consciousness and follow it as it flies upward
and merges with the greater Sun, to the place where fear cannot follow.”
