THE ART OF SPIRITUAL ALCHEMY The Art of Spiritual Alchemy is a two-fold work of twelve steps designed to help the individual spiritual alchemist become an enlightened individual filled with Alchemical Gold and possessing the Philosopher's Stone. Spiritual Alchemy will assist the worker in becoming the person he or she wants to become. The first twelve steps are designed to help the individual become a better person and prepare for the true art of spiritual alchemy. These first twelve steps are designed to help the aspirant: overcome the burden of the three negative emotions of anger, fear and sorrow overcome the the burden of the three poor decisions to blame, shame and resent learn to use the three divine tools of acceptance, forgiveness and love learn the lessons and art of strength, teaching and being The second twelve steps are designed to take the student to another level of understanding about themselves and all other people. They're designed to help the individual: overcome the burden of making comparisons and judgments and having expectations learn the four tools of Self-realization to become a Spiritual Alchemist learn the four tools of Divine-realization to become an Adept Alchemist learn the four tools of Enlightenment and become a Master Alchemist The first twelve introductory steps of spiritual alchemy are taught by the Octagon Society. These introductory steps comprise the most difficult part of the work. To master them can take a lifetime of inner searching, prayer, meditation, contemplation and communion with the Divine. Once mastered, the rest of the work can easily be completed in a year or two. But if not mastered, the rest of the work can never be completed even if several lifetimes are spent in the attempt. The first three steps of the second dozen steps help the potential alchemist prepare for the next three phases of his or her journey. The first phase of these three phases will require the use of the Bronze Key which was gained during earlier studies with the Octagon Society. This is the key that opens the Book of Knowledge concerning Salt. Article Index
