Cosmic alchemy

[Antares]

Anyone heard this term, or know anything about this term?

Recenly I was given it. Not sure what it means. I'll attempt to find out more about it...

On board your "mothership" are the higher s'elves of every soul you do love. In a miraculous way, you are their life - love that and you get a golden paradigm... just like in ordinary alchemy.

Ok today's morning quick, but insightful glimpse of view on the things provided me with better understanding of what it is...

So cosmic alchemy has little to do with the "mundane" alchemy. The latter is personal, the former basically impersonal.

Alchemy explaining

When you just live your life, relying on your internal processes, basically on your DNA, you're unconscious. The processes inside, like digesting, blood circulation, energy flow and so on, work without your conscious influence. This is how animals live.

The human being is different in this that he or she may decide to train the consciousness of all those processes. With this consciousness the conscious influence on them follows. This is what is called alchemy.

Alchemy is about the principles essential to energy workings which in turn leads to less and less relying on "nature" (DNA essentially), and more and more on your own consciousness. This is how you feel you become more yang, and less yin. The feeling of your entire energy system, and your body, your body's frequencies and so on, changes with this process.

Alchemy is therefore a responsibility. You become responsible for how your energies and your body works...

I guess this is why most of people cannot afford it. This process transforms not only your body (rejuvenating it), not only your energy (increasing the frequencies), but also transforms your psyche and affect the workings of your mind.

Now, to the cosmic alchemy

Imagine a man in a maze. He doesn't know how to get out of it. He sees only walls, and nothing more. The maze is big enough so that it was very difficult to find a way. So he tries to use some intellectual tricks (like keeping only the left side of the corridors) in order to finally get out.

This is how normal human being works: he uses he's reasoning based on a very limited information (basically coming from his physical senses) in order to achieve what he wants, or he thinks he wants.

Is there a better way? Yeah. To see the whole maze from the above. But then you need to exceed your physical body limitations. In order to achieve this higher state you need to get into the process of transcending your mind... and transforming your energy, and in turn your physical body. Hence alchemy.

Is there even a better way? Well... When you asked a question: "what actually forms this maze", you will realize that everything in the end goes down to the concepts (thoughts, the ancient people were saying). But then this question assumes impresonalized context. This is where cosmic alchemy gets into place.

It's not even astral. Cosmic alchemy transforms the whole context.

The intrinsic quality of a maze is its difficulty. A maze is bigger that is more difficult. A man's measure of difficulty is his ego. Hence, the more of a man you are the harder it is to find your way home.

Children are civil because of this parable.

[Antares]

A man's measure of difficulty is his ego.

Difficulty lays in perception.

Trancending yourself (your mind) results in new ways, new perception, new solutions. Then the concept of difficulty disappears: https://youtu.be/E3-CpzZJl8w?t=18

To turn into an eagle not stay so steadfast in one/another's manhood.

Where the analogy or symbolism of an eagle comes from? Why to turn into one?

The elements theory (which are in essence the principles that rule the manifestation / substance of creation), as present in alchemy, is indeed something that is supposed to be beyond the "common" conventions. It teaches about the principles beyond principles, as alchemy is all about the principles (in action).

However, alchemy is a certain approach, after all - which can be thought of, then, as a teaching, it is about principles applied to itself. So while alchemy deals with transformations (hence fire), we can percieve it as a system of concepts that also falls into another (meta-)system of concepts. See? Transform the mind of a scientist, and the principles of science itself become affected. Because this is his or her mind which created them. You affect not the object, but the subject, then, i.e. the source. This is a meta-level of concepts, that are applied to alchemy as well.

So my view is that the only aspect that is really beyond any principles is consciousness: it is that what creates principles, like those found in alchemy. Everything else - no matter what meta-meta-meta-concept you could go with - is an object within a system, and a subject of another system. I think you could go infinitely with finding new meta-systems, and perhaps it's what the consciousness development is about in the gods' realms. They may have kind of wars (being actually mind games) where they play with concepts to win over another. It is not something that - to a degree - scientists did miss, they didn't - the same idea, in at least some limited form, appeared quite recently about 100 years ago in mathematics... and this is a good evidence where fire kills metal, as - as you pointed out - it's something that goes beyond conventions. Try to define fire as a principle as opposed to the other 4 principles within this system - you may have a serious challange here. If you're interested in this rather philosophical (and rather not mathematical - any more at this point) dilemma, you may see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrand_Russell and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_G%C3%B6del

BTW, I do think that teachings about alchemy are not alchemy itself (in action). The former is occult, kind of science, i.e. metal element. A paradox where science about the subject can be killed by the subject itself. Because this is the dilemma of the systems that Kurt Godel has discovered, thus undermining the principles of mathematics previously believed to be fixed "norms".

The work of consciousness is alchemy.

I think there are a number of alchemies, not just one. And I think that the highest hierarchies of ancient Egypt, and other high past civilizations, were aware of that. The traces of this we can find by looking at their grand teachings and knowledge.

Alchemy is not just a "tool" for metals transmutation or your psyche transformation.

Each variant or level or alchemy deals with the state of a current level (like physical) with the usage of the principles as understood on the higher level. In this, it really resembles magic.
