One of the other complaints I’m sensing out there is that
alchemy is somehow in opposition to organized religion. First of all, this is simply untrue – alchemy
is actually an extension of religion and in fact came into our awareness
through the efforts of dedicated religious practitioners from every major
religion – I’ll go more into this later.
But most importantly, alchemy requires a strong spiritual foundation to
be effective. I would go so far as to
say that, without a solid grounding in religious practice (as opposed to
Western “spirituality,” which is a mess, and I’ll get into that as well), one
cannot be a truly effective alchemist.
I realize that some religious practitioners will take strong
issue with the concept that alchemy is an extension of their religion, but keep
in mind the forces that seek to deceive use organized religion to do a lot of
their oppressive work for them. Instead
of following the “leaders,” consult the source.
You’ll find the truth – alchemy is refined spiritual connection, a
highly-synthesized form of prayer.
And it is practiced in every major religion. Early Pagans – Greeks, Romans, Mayans,
Aztecs, Incas, Egyptians – all practiced alchemy. It’s how we arrived at some of our greatest
discoveries in math, science, architecture, art and so many other areas. Buddhists used alchemy to develop Taoism, Chi
Gong, mindfulness, martial arts, the meridian system in the human body, and all
kinds of breakthroughs in medicine and healing arts, including Reiki and most
healing massage techniques we use today.
Hindis (or the religions that evolved into Hindu) discovered Tantra,
Yoga, and all kinds of scientific breakthroughs, many of which have been lost
for centuries and only now being rediscovered.
Christian monks discovered many of the aspects of alchemy that are being
used today. Muslim alchemists discovered
many of the scientific principles we take for granted today (though sadly, many
of their most incredible discoveries were kept from the general public and have
since been destroyed by fundamentalist fanatics). Judaism has the Kabbalah (there is a
misconception that Kabbalah is a separate religion, but in fact it is wholly
derived and dependent on a Jewish religious foundation). Then there are shamans, medicine men, and the
list goes on and on.
Okay, I think I’ve made my point pretty clearly now –
alchemy and religion go hand-in-hand.
Yes, there are “fundamentalists” in every religion who will tell you “beware
of magic,” but ask yourself why that is.
Ask what benefit denying wisdom does for the betterment of connection to
God? Is suppressing knowledge serving
God, or the ego of man? The truth makes
it clear – alchemy is the highest form of spiritual service to God.
So then the next question is “which religion is the right
one?” And my answer is again
controversial, but indisputable from a spiritual standpoint: The one that serves you best, and which you
can best serve. There is no “right”
religion, because all true religions believe in spiritual elevation and service
above self. As such they are all “right.”
Personally, I practice Buddhism with a Christian
foundation. I grew up a secular
Christian, found Jesus in college and began a true spiritual path. Eventually I “moved” to Buddhism, which is my
spiritual home, because it fits the criteria above. But I didn’t “reject” Christianity. For me, it was my access point to a spiritual
path. I still believe in and love Jesus
Christ, still read the Bible (which I believe is another set of Suttras and
enhances my Buddhist practice), and believe most Christians are genuinely
spiritual connected. I’ve felt this
connection myself in church ceremonies, and it’s real. So I didn’t “walk away” from Christianity, I
evolved into Buddhism, because it is here where I can deepen my spiritual
connection and practice.
So I guess that makes me a “Universalist,” whatever. I hate labels, but some people have to see a
label before they’ll try the product.
The point in all this is without religion, there really is no alchemy,
and with any religion, alchemy works, and works in harmony.
I don’t buy the “if you worship another religion you’ll go
to hell” nonsense. This to me is a way
to keep people manipulated by other people and takes their eye off the
spiritual prize. I say, focus on the
core truth – the spiritual connection – and pay no mind to how other people
worship, that’s not your problem.
Having said that, I will say that I have a criterion for
working with me – you can’t be an Atheist.
This is not me being judgmental, it’s me being an honest businessman. Sure, I can do NLP, hypnosis, EFT, and a
bunch of other “secular self-help” stuff.
So can thousands of other people.
But the real power of my work is in the spiritual – alchemy, energy
elevation, spiritual development. So if
you consciously predisbelieve the core of my work – why would you want to pay
me good money to work with you? We both
know it’ll have no effect, because you’ve already refused 99% of my
services.
I could charge you full-price, do some cool NLP and hypnosis
stuff, tap away some superficial crap, give you a “game plan” and send you on
your way like 99% of the “evolution coaches” out there. And maybe you’d think you’re getting real
value (because in your mind the “other stuff” is a ripoff), but I know in my
heart I’d be the one ripping you off. So
I’d send you to someone else who shares your perspective, better for everyone.
As far as the “uncommitted spiritualists,” yes I will work
with you. In fact, I really want to work with you, because I can be of highest service here. But I’ll be prodding you to
explore religions and find a home. And I
can guarantee we will be doing LOTS of energetic cleaning work. Because I have yet to meet a Western “spiritualist”
who isn’t bursting at the seams with implants, entities, spiritual
entanglements, veils, and a whole host of other energetic crap. The Western spiritual movement is the blind
leading the blind – a lot of people who are lost, hurting and looking for help
being led by other lost souls and many very dishonest practitioners.
There’s a lot of work to do here, and I’m being charged with
the first phase of the cleanup effort, because I have a unique
understanding and compassion for the good people here, and it feels good to
help. But… you will find me annoying at
first, because unlike the other coaches, I have zero patience for spiritual
wishy-washiness. I will push you and
challenge you in ways you won’t find pleasant, but at the other end you’ll
discover your true spiritual self and never feel “lost” again. (And no, I absolutely won’t direct you into a
religion – they’re all awesome, and in past lives I’ve been happy in several
different religions. I’m just committed
to helping you find your home, that’s very important.)
This should clear up a lot of misconceptions – alchemy enhances
religion, I love all religions, spirituality is essential to alchemy work, and
the vague, undefined “spirituality” in the West is well-intentioned and full of
suffering. Have I left anything
out? Oh, I love you all!
With Love,
Uthaithani
