Understanding
alchemy
The
essential principle of alchemy
From
The
true alchemy of the heart by
Saint Germain, May

Thus, I ask you to contemplate – throughout this retreat –
the essential principle of alchemy, a principle that has been misunderstood
by so many people, even so many spiritual people, even Ascended Master
students who have read my teachings on alchemy given so many years ago.
The principle of alchemy is that you take what is imperfect and you
transform it into something perfect—not by making it conform to
an outer appearance but by transcending the outer appearance and making
it conform to the immaculate concept, held in the mind of God, in your
own Higher Being.
Note the essential difference. People will look at conditions on this
Earth and they will say, “This is not right.” The reason
why you know it is not right is because in the deeper part of your being,
you have the immaculate concept for how the kingdom of God should be
here on Earth and how your own divine plan should be unfurled. But what
happens in the world is that you build a worldly expectation of how
things should be. And that worldly expectation obscures your own inner
knowing, your divine plan and the reality of the kingdom of God.
So when you find the spiritual path and become more aware of the need
to raise your consciousness and raise the planet, you impose, you superimpose,
the image of your worldly expectation upon yourself and upon the world.
And you think that alchemy means that you take what is imperfect and
transform it into the worldly image of “perfection” that
has been created in this world through the mind of anti-christ, through
your own ego, or even through people who are well-meaning but simply
are not attuned to the reality of Christ.
And so all of your life, you can run after this false goal that is not
the true goal. And thus, you are simply going from one extreme to the
other. You are trying to get away from worldly imperfection [which is
only an appearance] by creating the outer appearance of worldly perfection.
My beloved, listen carefully. You can make progress by doing this. Realizing
that your own life, your own consciousness, is not where it needs to
be, setting a higher goal and striving for that goal can lead to progress.
But it will only lead to a certain level of progress, and then you will
stop—unless you understand the true principle of alchemy, namely
that you completely surrender all of your worldly expectations.
You do as Jesus said, you lose your worldly life for the sake of becoming
one with Christ truth, becoming reborn according to the immaculate concept
for your own Being. And in that total surrender of the lower expectations
and of the ego, then you can obtain Oneness with your higher Being.
And that Oneness is the philosopher's stone, the golden means, the cup
of Christ, the X-factor, that both alchemists and many other people
have been searching for throughout the ages. Thinking that if they found
something in this world that had magical properties, then that something
would transform them into perfect human beings, or transform lead into
gold or transform the Earth into the kingdom of God, without them going
through the process of obtaining Oneness through the death of the ego.
