THE TOOLS OF THE ALCHEMIST
Transmuting darkness into light, discovering more of ourselves, and uncovering the Truth.
Good day, fellow Alchemists:
Since time immemorial, humans have used energetic portals around the planet to enhance spiritual awareness and bring stability to their lives. Due to the inter-dependence between our minds and the planet's energetic system, energy portals can affect conscious beings in both negative and positive ways, depending on the type of portal accessed. Energy portals are spiraling vortices of energy that connect to the astral plane of existence and can tamper with our energetic field. Spirits can even use these portals to come to our realm and aid us with our spiritual progress. It is very likely, Alchemist, that you have already gone through one of these portals in your life. The sensation is unmistakable. Whether it was just a feeling of peace, or an overwhelming euphoria, at one point in our lives we cross paths with a site that is swirling with energy. We become attracted to the high vibrational frequency when passing through these locations. You may be compelled to linger for a while as you explore certain areas. Sometimes, a site is more vibrant than its surrounding area, and may even send chills down your spine. It is in these vortices that we can receive healing and find a sense of tranquility from our chaotic lives. Many of the major energy portals around the world are popular tourist sites. Some examples are Macchu Picchu, the Pyramids of Giza, Stonehenge, and many other sacred sites. These portals are also found on ley lines, which are lines that connect one sacred site to many others. The civilizations that built these structures most likely built them with the energy portal in mind. To enhance the power of vortex, they built structures that were based on sacred geometry, to cultivate the power and sustain its growth. Some of these sites also align with constellations. The Pyramids of Giza align with Orion and Sirius, which may connect our planet to the higher dimensional beings of another star system. Certain places with higher reporting of paranormal phenomena may also be explained by energy portals. A popular example is the Bermuda Triangle, which seems to be at the root of the cause of many mysterious disappearances. It is alleged to have been involved with the sinking of ships throughout its history. Most portals, however, do not work as doorways. Many of them act simply as cleansing vortices of high vibration energy. We can all benefit greatly from visiting these sights and meditating there. Find a place that invokes a positive sensation for you and let yourself become uplifted by its power. Use the tools that the ancients have known about for many years to enhance your own experience.

Meditation is one of those tasks that we confidently assign ourselves, only to avoid it when the time comes to follow through. It's up there with reading more books and finally signing up for the gym. It's fine to aim for improving oneself, but meditation isn't some New Year's resolution that we MUST adhere to. Unlike the race for material wealth, meditation is a task of nondoing that transcends any sense of progress. You see, Alchemist, the human mind is designed to solve problems. Therefore, when presented with the concept of meditation, we treat it as a hurdle to overcome. For those of us that seek answers to the mysteries of life, and liberation from three-dimensional existence, ENJOYING meditation is often lost on us. Without enjoying our meditation, we are simply creating a new and unique way of suffering. That is why we must ask ourselves, could we benefit more from meditation by simply enjoying it? This concept might sound strange to those who've adapted to a strict meditation guideline. If you're in disbelief, just look at the depictions of Buddha, which shows the Buddha in his natural state. Is the Buddha's face frowning? Does he look like he's straining hard to meditate? No, the Buddha is SMILING. While in the state of meditation, the Buddha feels nothing but utter bliss. We look at this state as some kind of achievement that only faithful meditators can achieve. In actuality, we can all reach this point by increasing the joy that we receive from meditating. Mediation can be challenging. Finding a comfortable position to sit in, legs falling asleep, thoughts flooding the mind, these are all obstacles that keep you from finding bliss. If sitting down to meditate is too difficult for you, then there are other options. Walking can be a form of mediation. Some monks have even practiced walking in slow motion to fully encase themselves in the moment. You can meditate standing, or while in motion. Practices like Qigong, Taichi, and yoga are all examples of this. Another practice you can embed into your daily schedule, and partake throughout the day, is to remind yourself to be aware of your breath at all times. Take 10 deep breaths into your belly and release fully every 20 minutes, or however often you like, as long as it's consistent. Regardless of what form you choose to meditate, begin each meditation with the intention of attaining joy. Let go of all your concerns and find bliss in the nothingness.

What answers surface in your mind when asking yourself, "Who am I?" The usual response would be things like your name, gender, ethnicity, where you live, or what you do for a career. While those responses may be true, they do not accurately represent what it means to be you. Finding the right words when describing our unique qualities is hard enough, but making sense of what truly makes us who we are is very debatable. Is it at all possible that the difficulty that comes with defining ourselves stems from our lack of understanding of what life is? How could we possibly grasp what it means to be ourselves when we can't comprehend what it means to be alive? So, the question as to who we are can only be understood once we know what EVERYTHING is. So...What is any of this? This is the reality we chose to create. We, as conscious beings, are the apex of existence. It is our perceiving of reality that not only gives it its purpose but gives it life, as well. When we are not perceiving the reality it does not exist. The reason is that we are CREATING that reality. We are all constantly co-creating the world around us, instead of the common perspective that we were created by this world. Everything about our life was a decision made by our higher selves - the part of our identity that is closest to source consciousness. So coming back to the question of, "who am I?" The answer is simple, you are the UNIVERSE. We are everything that we have created. We are ourselves and each other, and the plants in animals we coexist with. Our power as creators manifests itself through every living being, experiencing every conceivable happening in the Universe, simply to gain greater awareness of ourselves. This progress of the soul can be seen as our purpose. After all, a being as omnipotent and all-knowing as your higher self couldn't possibly be limited in any aspect of your mission. So, on an every-day, practical level, consider for instant when you are in conflict with another. Take a beat while experiencing this conflict and remember that you ARE this other person. You are of the same essence. You are ONE. Rather than questioning why you might be experiencing something, allow in the possibility that you have created that particular situation and rather than cursing it, commit to learn from it. And when you are trying to manifest something and, and you plead with the Universe to grant you your wish, know that you are essentially pleading with a larger part of yourself. So consider that this larger part of yourself wants only good for you, wants you to have the best of the best, to be happy, healthy, and fulfilled. It never tries to harm you or "test you." It is you. That being said, when you do go to the Universe for something you want, knowing you are the Universe, maybe be more lenient with the little you and allow yourself to receive whatever it is you want.;) With love and sincerity, The Alchemy by LA Counsel Good day, Fellow Alchemists:
It is time, yet again, for us to reveal insights into a dimension of existence that is overlooked by humankind. We will look back at our shared history, and uncover the truth that has been kept secret from us. The part of our history that we will be discussing is related to the supposed existence of the city of Atlantis, the ancient Egyptians, and their God of Wisdom, Thoth. Some believe that Atlantis was nothing more than a myth created by Plato, but there has been plenty of evidence that has surfaced over the years, which validates the existence of Atlantis. While many historians and archeologists claim to have evidence of Atlantis, an important concept to understand is that the city of Atlantis was a civilization that existed in a higher dimension. Meaning that a lot of evidence might be imperceptible to our lower vibration minds. The structures built and the people who lived there were advanced, but not as we visualize advancement in the modern world. The Atlantians were SPIRITUALLY advanced. By vibrating on a higher plane of existence, the Atlantean race was able to wield what can only be described as MAGIC! They could speak telepathically, and could even move between dimensions, by use of their Merkaba (See The Chariot of Ascension). Before the alleged sinking of Atlantis, members of the priesthood, who were living on the island city, evacuated right before the floods came. They took with them magical instruments of their culture and all of their wisdom. Among those evacuees was a being named Thoth, who described the events that occurred in his lifetime in the Emerald Tablets. Thoth went to the land of Khem, which is where modern-day Egypt is located. Claiming to have encountered what he referred to as hairy barbarians, Thoth set out to help them evolve and shape Egypt into the great civilization it eventually became, much like Atlantis. He taught the Egyptians how to ascend and use magic to unravel the mysteries of the Universe, and in time, they became almost as evolved as the Atlantians. Supposedly, even the pyramids were built by Thoth, as a way to assist the spiritual evolution of the Egyptians. Thoth hoped that by spreading the knowledge of the Atlantian people, the seed of wisdom will eventually sprout, once more, and the world will again vibrate on the frequency that it once had. After all, the sinking of Atlantis was not only literal but represented the falling of the collective unconscious of the planet. Most of the spiritual wisdom we have today likely emanated from the Atlantian culture. By raising the consciousness of more people, our society will ultimately mirror Atlantis. We will be telepathic, high-vibration beings of love, capable of accomplishing virtually anything. For that day to come, we must strive ever upward, gaining greater and greater wisdom.

We would like to discuss what is probably the single most IMPORTANT lesson for all beings to learn: The lesson of self-love. Regardless of your views on love, giving love to one another is something that everyone is innately inclined to do. It is how we, as humans, survive such a treacherous world. After all, in the wild, almost everything is trying to kill you! By sticking together we became strong and overcame the obstacles of the natural world. Love was what kept us together. Love is the catalyst to CREATION, it is our BIRTHRIGHT, our MISSION, and our DESTINATION... ...but what does that actually mean? To understand this, we must understand that the feeling of love is what binds the universe together. Love is the highest vibration which is used to promote UNITY! All matter in the Universe is comprised of energy. When that energy is taken to its highest vibration, it transforms into love. Love is ALL and Love is ONE...we were BORN from love and we'll RETURN to love. If you were to accept all this information as fact, then the only question is, why don't YOU deserve love? Why is it that the entire Universe is filled with love and comprised of love, but you can't love yourself? Once you grasp the importance of love, you'll understand how much it is needed within you. So, love yourself to the fullest and treat yourself as you would treat someone you care about and wish to see happy! With Valentine's Day coming closer, there may be a lot of emphasis on finding someone to give you love. The fastest way to find someone to love, is to love yourself first.
