THE TOOLS OF THE ALCHEMIST
Transmuting darkness into light, discovering more of ourselves, and uncovering the Truth.
 Grand rising, dear Alchemist:
A fun part of playing the human game is having many desires you wish to fulfill. We live our lives in pursuit of these desires and some of us are lucky enough to have discovered the law of attraction, which enables us to bring our dreams into physicality. Through the process of manifesting, we slowly begin to see the world in a different light. What we once thought of as impossible starts to become an ordinary part of our reality. After having dealt with the internal deficiencies that once caused us to manifest an undesirable reality, we become masters of our own lives, capable of accomplishing just about anything. Once we successfully manifest all that we want, a question may arise: Why am I able to do this? What is the purpose behind conscious being's ability to create their own reality? It's a valid question that may not have an exact answer. In order to gain some perspective on this question, we must first recognize our own identity as creators. Some enlightened gurus have likened the human experience to a game of pretend. We are all pretending to be individual, tiny, ignorant humans when in reality, we are the Universe itself. The process of life can be thought of as a journey to rediscover our all-mighty nature. The law of attraction obviously plays an important role in this process. Once we begin to work reality in our favor, the truth that we are the invisible hand manipulating everything will become more apparent. This journey of self-realization is important for the spirit to evolve and gain greater levels of consciousness. It is within the realm of possibilities that once we complete this journey, we may start it all over again. This may seem unusual to most of us. After all, why go through the hardships of life over and over again? Alan Watts once spoke about reality and compared it to a lucid dream. He asked, what if you knew you were dreaming and then were able to dream of whatever you wanted? At first, you would experience every kind of joy imaginable. But how long would it take for those joys to cease being meaningful? Alan Watts argued that eventually, you would want to experience something you couldn't expect. Something surprising, mysterious, and maybe even a little scary at times. Ordinary human life can offer all of that and more. Of course, these are all just theories thought up by tiny, ignorant, and singular minded humans. The truth may be thousands of times more incredible and unexpected, which is also part of the fun of being human. With love and sincerity, The Alchemy by LA Counsel  Grand rising, dear Alchemist:
Are we alone in the Universe? That question seems to come up more often these days. Especially with the ongoing release of information from the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, which is set to gradually declassify information on UFOs over the coming months; we may actually have conclusive answers within our lifetime about the existence of alien life. Of course, to some degree, we were all expecting aliens to exist in one form or another. There is even a theory as to why we have yet to make contact with them, known as the Fermi-paradox. The Fermi-paradox states that, given the expansiveness of the Universe, much more evidence of extra-terrestrials should exist. There are innumerable amounts of planets with the potential to produce life in our Universe. Some of these planets should have led to space-faring civilizations sprouting endlessly throughout our 15 billion-year-old Universe. So where are all the aliens hiding? The only explanation for this problem is the existence of great filters. Perhaps all intelligent civilizations destroy themselves at some point. Or maybe a single species has been dominating all others since the beginning of time. It could also be that the most unlikely scenario is actually true; that we are alone in the Universe or that intelligent life is incredibly rare. We are here today to discuss another possibility. That our perspective on how life and intelligence evolve together are far too narrow. Could it be that life exists in other dimensions that cannot be seen by lower-density beings such as ourselves? As we've discussed in previous transmissions, our perception is limited to a tiny fraction of the electromagnetic scale. Beings who vibrate at a frequency higher or lower than us will go unnoticed, regardless if they exist on other planets or in our living room. Some people claim to have had experiences with these beings during dreams or out of body experiences. Whether we refer to them as ghosts, aliens, angels, or even demons, it is entirely possible that we share space with a variety of different beings. It would be arrogant to assume that all life should look and behave as we do and function within the same realm of physics that we are subjected to. So when an etheric blob of psychic spores tries to contact you via telepathy, stay calm, and represent our species with grace.

The power of words is often overlooked in our society. Sure, we have sayings like: the pen is mightier than the sword, but it feels like something no one really takes the time to examine at an energetic level. It's not simply that words can help shape the world through their effect on those who hear them, but also how it changes the individual doing the speaking. The words themselves carry with them a code that reprograms reality at the most fundamental level. This phenomenon is most effective within the body, where the words reverberate through every cell as they are spoken. A common magical teaching is the phrase: abracadabra, which translates to I create as I speak. The ancients understood the power of words very well, which is why prayer and chanting are so prominent in all religions. Even modern science is starting to get a grasp on the idea of vibrations and how they travel through speech. Just look at the work done by Dr. Masaru Emoto on water molecules being frozen with different words labeled on them. The water that was labeled with an "I love you" froze into beautiful patterns, while the water labeled with insults froze in a chaotic manner. Considering the fact that our bodies are mostly water, we should really be watching what we say to ourselves. Imagine what happens after years of negative self-talk, how it can distort our bodies, and our reality in such a profound way. Now imagine what would happen after years of saying good things about ourselves. We are so wary of what we put into our body, yet we seem to have no problem echoing a negative mantra through our being on a daily basis. Just saying the words "I love you" to ourselves at the start of each day can heal our mind and body better than any medicine could. Remember Alchemist, your words are powerful, so utter them wisely.
