The intentional application of alchemy principles and practices is an asset and a beneficial ingredient as we are going through our daily lives. We do physical things that are also expressed in the mental and spiritual vibrations.
Spiritual Alchemy is a purification of the intentions produced by desire energies. The fundamental vibration is survival and the nourishment necessary to sustain it. Hungers that manifest as yearnings for fulfillment and urges for gratification will seek ways of manifesting and expressing: The more complex the consciousness, the more diverse and numerous the yearnings can be. The most persistent of these desire energies become drives. Understanding exactly what hungers are driving us allows us to direct that functioning into paths of our own choosing. Gaining the cooperation of the unconscious processes for what our conscious mind conceives is the boost to take it over the top. It eases and eliminates self-sabotage and it produces increased self confidence and self esteem, which creates more successes.
The dictum of Spiritual Alchemy is “Repression Is Not Morality”. To have an unwholesome desire and repress it is not being moral, and is quite dangerous. The repressed desire can manifest in other forms and not be recognized for what it is until its unwholesome nature becomes apparent. The correct process is to identify exactly what is hungered for in that desire and transform it into an acceptable means of feeding that desire. That is morality.
This is a reality of consumption. Everything that is alive must consume something else to stay alive. Consequently, every move we make and desire we have is hunger based. Identifying what, exactly, we are hungry for in the situations and conditions we find ourselves in helps enormously to steer the life path into fulfillment. Channeling desires into personal morally and ethically acceptable thoughts and actions produces dynamic personal growth and progress.
