I often like to talk about the alchemy basis due is the only way to explain people (and makes them understand) the fact they are the only completely responsible about what happens in their own lifes.
The truth of the truths
What I've just finished of enunciate in the past paragraph is one of the most important and fundamental alchemy basis, because thanks to it, we can assimilate the the cause and effect concept.
Because all alchemist understands that cause and effect are really sides of the same coin; and that every action has a reaction that it generates; and that every situation has a cause that originates it. Therefore, if you don't understand all of this, you risk to fail in every single aspect of your life; because it entails a series of errors of perception and action that trigger a series of events that can appear erratic to the eye that is not prepared to see.
There are many other big and awesome alchemy truths we need to understand in life, but the cause and effect concept is the very root of all the other one. And what can we see in our current world? That all is set to make us think that every mistake and problem we have in life is for other people o situations blame. But all of this is a dangerous trap, because when you think on this way, you use to justify every fail in life and don't take responsability for none what you do.
Therefore, as you think every fail is caused for anyone or anything else blame, you feel like helpless, and you think that possible things are impossible for you.
Another great alchemy truth
Another great alchemy truth (but very related with all what I just say) is it does not matter if someone else believe or not in you and your possibilities in life; because the only one who need to do it, it's noone else than yourself.
As I said, this is very related with the cause and effect concept, due to the fact that if you have reliability on your own possibilities in life, then you generate that good things happens in that sense. Therefores, it's a very simply fact, the reliability is the cause that makes help you see and understand all the other alchemy truths; and all alchemist know this is absolutely true.
The mentioned is the only mechanism to get success in all the aspect of our life, and when we see all of this the sky is limit, or better said, there are no limits.
Let's keep an open mind, my friends.
