True Alchemy Or The Quest For Perfection / Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov (Auteur)

Presentation

To be the agent of our own transformation.

True alchemy in no way proceeds from formulas and other more or less hermetic magic practices. It is a work of the mind on matter, our matter, an inner transmutation that takes place through the union of wisdom and love. For this we must discover all the resources that are in us and of which we are not aware, in order to transform all the evil that we are done, and that we also do, into gold, that is to say in pure light.

‘Don’t struggle against your weaknesses and vices – they will only get the better of you. Instead, learn to put them to work, so that they can be of use to you. Whether it’s jealousy, anger, greed or vanity, you have to know how to harness their energies for your chosen purpose. Now that humans know how to control natural forces such as electricity, wind, water and lightning, they use these things for their own enrichment, and yet, to begin with, these were hostile forces. You find it normal that we make use of the forces of nature, so why be astonished at the idea of making use of your own primitive forces? Once you know the rules of spiritual alchemy, you will be able to transform your negative forces so that they become useful to you.’
