EXCERPT FROM THE INTRODUCTIONAWAKENING THE INNER ALCHEMIST
"The chances are that you and I have never met. Regardless, I know something about you, which you might not even fully know yourself. What would you say if I told you: You are a powerful creator of reality, that you possess inner alchemical power to transform reality in magical ways that serve the potential of you and also humanity? If you can’t already say yes to this now, hopefully there will be a resounding ‘yes’ in you by the time you turn the last page of this book. The pages you are about to dive into are an invitation to bring the truth of your authentic essence into your leadership to create a better world. It is a call to awaken the inner alchemist that exists in you and to use your transformational powers to actualise golden potential that serves you and humanity. I don’t know how much you already know about alchemy but perhaps you have heard about alchemists of the past who were known as scientists practicing the proto-scientific art of purifying, maturing and perfecting certain materials. The quest of these early day scientists was to transform base metals into gold, find cures, and discover the elixir of life. However, as we dive deeper into the understanding of alchemical secrets, the laboratory experiments reveal a deeper truth. The physical expressions of experimentation and creation are merely symbolic reflections of what happens in the alchemist’s inner laboratory. Alchemists knew that purification of the inner world – of human consciousness – is the only authentic source of refined creations in the outer world. These masters of alchemy were really Masters of what was simply called The Art – the art of transforming the outer world through transformation of our inner world. The art of alchemy is based on a spiritual and scientific understanding of the true nature of reality, and our relationship with it. Alchemists of the past and of the present know we are both the creators of reality and the creative potential of reality. Every moment, we create and co-create reality through who we are being, what we choose to say, do, think, feel and believe. The creative potential exists within us. Through the art of alchemy, we can serve infinite possibilities of reality. The questions are, how aware are we of the creative power we have, and how consciously do we choose to use our innate powers of creation, and for what purpose? Alchemists believe in the ultimate, and know that each individual has the power to realise the golden potential of new realities. To succeed they are dedicated to the quest of the Philosopher’s Stone, which is a term you’ll hear throughout this book. The Philosopher’s Stone is symbolic. It is symbolic of the golden essence we all innately carry within us that frees the individual and brings salvation to the world. It is symbolic of the awakened consciousness that shines freely when we have transformed the lead of our human psyche into its true, authentic nature. The Philosopher’s Stone is the actualisation of our authentic, human nature that can redeem the entire cosmos. To bring forth the Philosopher’s Stone within and master alchemy, it is necessary to develop our spiritual intelligence. Spiritual intelligence is the intelligence of the Philosopher’s Stone, which we all carry within. Spiritual intelligence is the wisdom and innate intelligence of our true, authentic nature, which enables us to access a deeper understanding of reality and actualise golden potential. Spiritual intelligence is the intelligence of our potential expressed in the world. Leadership Alchemy is an invitation to walk a path of inner leadership that brings forth your full inner power to create and nurture a greater existence for all. It is a call to remember what alchemists knew, that the gold we seek is not to be found through any searching and experimenting in the outer world, but in the inner laboratory of our own consciousness. I propose that pursuing an inner path of leadership is the only way to bring ourselves and the world into a reality where balance and thriving are central to our existence and where magic can unfold. It is time to awaken the alchemist within each of us, and let ancient mystical wisdom remind us of our authentic power to know the deeper truths of life, create gold, and serve the thriving of all existence......" |
