THE TOOLS OF THE ALCHEMIST
Transmuting darkness into light, discovering more of ourselves, and uncovering the Truth.
 Good day, fellow Alchemists:
An incredible change is about to take place in our society, Alchemist. Recently, the Pentagon announced that it will be releasing information pertaining to the existence of otherworldly technology that has been discovered. We're talking, of course, about an alien spacecraft! Throughout mankind's history, aerial vehicles have been spotted and reported on by just about every culture and civilization. This fact has been widely ignored by skeptics as possible evidence for the existence of aliens. For a long time, our society had deemed anything related to aliens and UFOs as hoaxes or misunderstandings. But this is different. This is the first time that we are receiving an open confirmation about the existence of alien life by both the mainstream media and government officials. The trigger for this disclosure is uncertain, but what may have legitimized the existence of aliens in the eyes of the public is the UFO sighted by an actual US Navy pilot, who chased down the unidentified aircraft in the sky, while recording it for all to see. This footage has already been released to the public and is available online, along with a few other convincing videos as well. The Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force, an agency that has been researching all events related to UFOs in secret, is set to finally release some of their findings within the next 180 days. As of now, we are still very much in the dark and what may come from full disclosure is anyone's guess. All we do know is how profound of a change this will be on humanity as a collective. We will finally have some evidence that we are not alone. Whatever these visitors might bring with them, whether it be new technology, spiritual knowledge, or a completely new perspective on life, one thing is certain, this coming era for mankind is going to be stranger than any before it. with love and sincerity, The Alchemy by LA Counsel  Good day, fellow Alchemists:
The Hebrew words depicted on the Alchemy Amulets have a profound history to them. Their power stems from technology so ancient that its original user was the creator of the Universe. It is believed that in the beginning, these codes presented themselves to the creator as a conscious existence and asked to be used in whatever manner the creator saw fit. Thus began everything we see around us today. Throughout time, these codes were used on multiple occasions by those who had the knowledge and wisdom to wield them. Some scholars believe that Moses used the power of the 72 codes to split apart the Red Sea and free the Hebrews from slavery, along with many other incredible events we hear about in religious stories. The codes correspond to numerological wisdom, wherein every letter also represents a number. The code is like a key to accessing the matrix of reality, allowing one to edit it accordingly. The 72 codes also relate to vortex math promulgated by Nikola Tesla, which is a type of number theory that puts great emphasis on the importance of the numbers 3, 6, and 9. (Because 7 + 2 = 9) The ability to use these codes as mortal beings is part of our contract while living on Earth. We, who have inherited all the faculties of divinity, yet are encased in third-dimensional reality, are given these codes as a blessing so we may act as creators ourselves by manifesting miracles. The Alchemy Amulets, also known as a segula, are tools that utilize these sacred codes, and by wearing them, we embody a specific aspect of divine intervention into our field of creation. Whatever the wearer wishes to manifest into existence, the amulet can assist in aligning one's frequency to that of the desired outcome. As conscious beings, we all have the right to create a reality we wish to experience. It is our hope that all who wear our amulets awaken to their inner power and accept their role as creators. with love and sincerity, The Alchemy by LA Counsel  Good day, fellow Alchemists:
A phrase that is often thrown around nowadays is new age. Normally, it is a reference to a type of thinking that is associated with a broad range of spiritual topics. Anything to do with crystals, chakras, auras, the law of attraction, or yoga ends up falling into the new age category and will sadly often be characterized as a pseudo-religion. However, its origin is actually related to the astrological changes that have been going on in the last couple hundred years or so. That change is the commencement of the Age of Aquarius. You see Alchemist, astrologers have the ability to, not only accurately predict the effects of astronomical bodies on individuals, but to determine the effect they will have on civilization as a whole. The collective-unconscious of the planet is equally affected by cosmic events, and many of those events can dictate the overall zeitgeist of a particular era. The previous phase was the Age of Pisces, which we have been slowly progressing away from and into Aquarius. Each phase is thought to last around 2,150 years and transition in the opposite direction of the 12 zodiac signs. The usual rotation begins with Aries and ends with Pisces, but when determining the current age, astrologers begin with Pisces and end with Aries. Much of the minor details relating to the accurate measurement of the current age, such as when it actually begins and ends, is often debated amongst astrologers. What we do know for sure is that the effects of Aquarian age have already begun since before the 20th century. Aquarian energy has much to do with the discovery of electricity and advancements in technology. It is even credited with jumpstarting the industrial revolution. (Pun intended) It is believed that Aquarian energy is also related to revolutions in general and the desire for equality and freedom. The times we currently live in are an amalgamation of all the Aquarian energy that has been slowly surging forth into our reality in order to create drastic changes to our society. We may see many more events in our lifetime that may shock and confuse us while we transition into an Aquarian mindset. All that is happening is meant to happen. We are leaving an old world behind and what lies ahead of us may be brighter and more amazing than we can imagine. Stay hopeful and look forward to our collective future.

Happiness is something we all try to attain, yet so many of us fail to grasp its true meaning. Most of our lives are defined by us chasing desires and getting lost in trying to become something rather than just being. In the previous transmission, we discussed the pitfalls of identification and how it creates suffering through our egos. This time we will be outlining ways to live a life that enables our inner bliss to manifest. First off, we have to understand what joy is and what it is not. When eating delicious meals, going on a rollercoaster, or spending some alone time with a significant other, you might feel as though you are experiencing happiness. But these examples are of excitement and stimulation, not actual joy. Excitement is normally what we are seeking in one form or another when searching for happiness. Whether it's a new promotion at work, a relationship, delicious foods, or entertainment, most of us search for happiness within the realm of stimulation and strong emotions. But these things rarely lead anyone to lasting happiness. True happiness is the complete elimination of suffering. It is brought on by not seeking, by being totally content with everything as it is. A good determiner of feeling happy rather than excited is if you feel like nothing could possibly go wrong or disturb you at that moment. As if the whole world has crystalized around you in a perfect array of never-ending occurrences. This may sound a little too amazing to be possible, but think back, you have surely felt this at many points in your life. Perhaps as a child, or after completing a mountain of work, that true state of bliss revealed itself to you, even only for a moment. This feeling of true joy is our natural state and it is vastly superior to any form of excitement or stimulation. Other forms of happiness are intertwined with the ego. They elevate your state of mind to new levels of joy, only to bring you crashing back down to earth when it is over. Those highs are fleeting, while true joy is everlasting. If you know how to conjure it. It begins with doing nothing. Sitting still in the quiet and letting your mind do what it will. Deprive yourself of stimulation and you will quickly see from your fidgeting and discomfort, how dependent you are on external factors to maintain your happiness. Once we accept that less is more when it comes to finding happiness, the answer to how to find it becomes obvious. Do less.

The ego is a confusing thing. During our time in the physical world, we need our ego intact and functioning in order to interact with everything we're involved in. Desires of the ego make up the motivation for every action we take. It even helps us establish boundaries between ourselves and other people. While the ego is helpful in navigating the third-dimension, it becomes a trap we must avoid falling into. The bread and butter of the ego is identification. We consciously begin to identify with certain aspects of our life, like our job, race, gender, religion, or even our taste in music. Without this identity, we tend to feel lost and misunderstood by the world around us, which is filled with people who know who they are and what their role is in society. Identification is a long process that begins during early childhood and continues on into our adult life. We begin with simple identifiers, like our name or gender, and then gradually move on to titles like lawyer, student, husband or wife, homeowner, or hockey enthusiast. Whatever the identity may be, they all have one thing in common: They make us suffer. If you identify as a lawyer, then you must be good at your job because not doing so would hurt your self-image. In order to maintain the identity of a lawyer, you must never deviate from what you imagine a lawyer should be and commit fully to the role. This eventually begins to chip away at your sense of self-worth since no one can maintain perfect adherence to any one particular role. That is why we must let go of as many identifiers as we can, in order to free ourselves from the prison of roles. It may seem difficult at first, but you can slowly begin to disengage with thoughts about how you should or shouldn't be and live a life that is more fully immersed in spirit, rather than in roles. And remember: “You can be deeply involved with everything, but still not be identified with it anymore.” - Sadhguru With love and sincerity, The Alchemy by LA Counsel  Good day, fellow Alchemists:
Food is a fascination that goes beyond the simple need to satiate oneself. It is a work of art that brings people closer together. It pervades every facet of our culture and holds the root of our history through our shared recipes. For humans, eating is more than just an act of survival. It is an expression of our souls. Anyone who has eaten at their grandparents' house recently can attest that food can even be a way to share our love with one another. It is believed that food is also our greatest medicine. That being said, did you know that some of the most common food we eat actually is medicine? Things we use as a seasoning, like onions and garlic are natural medicines that many healers would prescribe to patients dealing with specific ailments. This is an important point made by yogis, who believe that the only true diet should not be concerned about calories or nutritional value, but with how much prana is contained within the food we eat. In a society where we are not only obsessed with food but also with being healthy, we are often misguided as to what should and shouldn't be eaten as part of a regular diet. The guideline to yogic eating is split into three different categories, positive pranic food, negative pranic food, and zero pranic food. Positive pranic foods are foods that increase the amount of prana, or life force, in the body. By eating more positive pranic foods, we can accumulate energy in our system and increase our connection with our senses. It can even help avoid serious health issues that occur in old age. A simple list of positive pranic foods would be: Winter melon Lemon Honey Coconut Dates Nuts and seeds Raw and dried fruits Ripe vegetables Sprouted green grams Whole grains Legumes Negative pranic foods decrease the amount of prana in the body. Onions and garlic are just two examples of negative pranic food that is so common in the average diet. Negative pranic foods are also not limited to what you eat but can include anything you put into your body, like alcohol, tobacco, and coffee. Anything that affects your nervous system can be considered a negative pranic food, which is why many yogis are abstinent. Here is a list of negative pranic foods: Garlic Onion Asafoetida (Hing) Chili peppers Eggplant Vinegar Cacao Coffee Tea Alcohol Tobacco other stimulants and intoxicants This list may look daunting at first, but keep in mind that many other foods, like potatoes and tomatoes, are simply zero pranic food, meaning they don't increase or decrease prana in the body. Staying fully committed to this diet would be most beneficial, but simply decreasing the amount of negative pranic foods you eat can help revitalize the body and bring you closer to natural living. It's time to let go of old ways of thinking about diet and free ourselves of burdens like calorie counting. Your body is intelligent and will notify you if it likes what you have fed it. The way you feel, whether it is good or bad, is directly related to the foods you put into your body. Feed your body like you're feeding your soul. Let it be happy and carry you through your journey on this planet with all the vigor and vitality it was meant to have.

Since time immemorial, something that has filled humanity with curiosity is the prospect of getting to reincarnate. To be given the chance to start over as a new person, can such a thing really be possible? According to most religions in the world, the answer is YES! Almost all eastern religions incorporate an aspect of reincarnation as part of the afterlife experience. Even indigenous cultures and some sects of Orthodox Judaism believe in the idea of reincarnation. The strangest and most convincing evidence for reincarnation, however, comes from actual living people who can remember their past lives, most of whom are children. These children claim to remember their past lives and their stories contain great amounts of detail. Countless stories have been told of parents hearing their child recount details of their previous job, family members, and even the date and time of death of another life they have lived. During sit-downs with a psychologist, they are determined to be mentally healthy with nothing more than an overactive imagination. However, after following up on the information in their child's stories, parents soon discover that many of the details are verifiable. It is believed by some that a child is the closest to source energy. Having been in the prelife/afterlife state only years prior to identifying with their current ego, they are able to recall who they once were with little difficulty. Of course, this can occur in adults through sudden awakenings, during which one is completely immersed in source energy and temporarily free of their ego. It can also happen after years of spiritual progress through meditation and yogic practices. A much easier method was developed by hypnotherapists called past life regression, which allows one to enter a trance-like state, opening them up to higher levels of consciousness, and allowing details of their past life to occasionally surface in their conscious minds. This type of regression is possible even by simply setting an intention for discovering your past life right before you begin a meditation session. All you must do is be willing to receive the information and the Universe will deliver it according to your intentions. Remembering your past lives can be an intense experience. Some people have even reported sudden outbursts of crying or even screaming when recalling who they once were and all the pain they experienced. This is part of the healing process. During every lifetime, we accumulate trauma and very rarely do we purge it from our being. By connecting to those past lives, we are given the chance to heal from those metaphysical wounds that may still be affecting us negatively in our current lives, leading us to be more spiritually liberated than ever before.

The term energy is often thrown around among spiritual circles as a representation of something intangible. It has become synonymous with words like qi (pronounced "chi"), prana, and ki (pronounced somewhat like the word "key"). All of these terms describe a similar phenomenon of energy, which exists within a person who supports the function of the soul and his or her extrasensory abilities. While science is aware of many natural forces in this world, like nuclear forces or electromagnetism, there seems to be a lack of understanding as to what life-force is and its role in the metaphysical nature of life. This life-force energy, often described in practices like Qi Gong or Pranayama, is a type of energy that cannot be observed with the naked eye. It is said that this life-force energy vibrates on a frequency higher than visible light, and that to be perceived, one would be required to open their third-eye. This is why mainstream science discredits the existence of such a force. Scientists are dependent on what they can observe in order to draw conclusions about a given subject. Lacking this kind of extrasensory vision, they have no choice but to dismiss any validity to these fantastic beliefs. One scientist by the name of Baron Carl von Reichenbach actually re-discovered this life-force on his own and coined it the Odic Force. But no matter how many scientists or spiritualists provide evidence for its existence, feeling life-force energy for yourself is the only way to truly understand it. Energy serves an important function for all of the Universe's creatures. It is our lifeline and our connection to the source of all creation. If it were represented in a physical form, it may look similar to the pattern seen in the Flower of Life, since it is a pure expression of life energy. Most importantly, we must understand that this energy is an extension of our will and is formed through our intentions. This is one of the many reasons behind the great value placed on meditation by various spiritual traditions. It teaches individuals to harness their intentions by focusing solely on a single thought. Meditation is an important practice, not only by way of harnessing extrasensory abilities and reaching self-awareness but also, in manifesting specific outcomes. When this energy is properly controlled, it is said that it can even augment one's physical strength, increase vitality and rejuvenate health, all while slowing down the aging process. We can wait until we have undeniable proof to reap the rewards of this practice, or we can begin to access this power ourselves, through mediation and breathing exercises, which may enhance our life-force energy.
