Spending the money generated from the stone on anything but basic human needs would, I feel, quickly result in catastrophic events, of which a recovery from would be unlikely.

I'd say this is the very reason I have seen so many pitfalls in my days. It's preparation for when I have access to power that needs the wisdom of experience to safeguard
Hi Mr. Mixer

From what you have written, it sounds like you firmly believe that you can handle the great knowledge and also the great responsibility of the wealth you may acquire from the Divine Art of Alchemy.

In my younger days, I was also interested in accruing a few dollars.

Here is a true story about some fun times my Alchemy teacher and I had some years before he introduced me to Alchemy.

I was living on the Gold Coast and would frequent the casino there for the occasional game of blackjack. I asked my teacher if he could tell me what cards the dealer would pull out next ... he replied that he could easily do that ... But would not do it.

A few years later I was living on unemployment benefits and He asked if I would like to go to the casino that night ... sure would I said, with a big smile on my face.

I walked into the casino heading straight for the blackjack tables when He said "stop here", I was next to a Roulette table with no idea of how to play.

He told me to get $50 worth of chips and then He took over.

It was like being inside a robot , just watching everything happen, my hands were pushing chips to places on the table that I had no understanding of.

After about half an hour I had a huge amount of chips (a big lot of dollars worth).

He told me that we will stop now and to take out the $50 dollars worth of chips that I started with and give away the rest NOW .... which I did.

That was a very, very long time ago and I have not been back to a casino since.

I believe that the qualities required to potentially gain entrance are such as these:
*A forgiving heart
*Humility
*Quick to listen and slow to anger
*One who wishes to see the best possible outcome for all but also is aware of law of consequences.(able to discriminate fairly.)
*
One who is developing good mental and moral faculties.
*Clairvoyance and observational skills would also be helpful.
*Patience

I know there is more to potentially list.
Hi Jimmy, what you have posted here sit really well with me.

I will ask my Alchemy Teacher about what He considers to be essentials traits for entrance into
this Art.

God and I also have father - son days out that is just an adventure of spiritual connection. My gosh I would love to tell you some of my gambling-with-god stories.

My relationship there has grown deeper as I'm into investments now. And I've stopped pretending to deny that I can't help notice almost direct correlation with the balance of my portfolio with how I am personally doing on a spiritual level.

I don't work anymore. I don't have any aspirations to work anymore. My full-time job is a Hermetically sealed discord with myself. I'm not very good at my job though. I'm injured. On a deep soul level. A certain fire that supported me all my life seems to be only embers now. It's concerning and wavering the foundations of my spirit. but this is part of my trial. It's a part of the story that must be written.

Would be a cooler story if we hit the casino black ♠️

You are a Divine Being Mr. Mixer with potential and power beyond your wildest dreams as we all are.

You are a good man Mr. Mixer, but what if there is more to the Big Picture ?

This world of duality that we live in can appear to be very harsh and unfair, (the starving children, poverty and disease, etc, etc) but it is a perfect environment for Soul Evolution.

We have both sides of the coin here with everything in between and in respect of Soul Growth it's design is excellent.

Can you appreciate how very important all the hard times and all the good times are so crucial to our growth .... Do you think it would be a correct thing to do if we were to deprive a Soul from this growth ?

The lives we experience are dictated by Divine Providance.

What is the meaning of divine providence?
Traditional theism holds that God is the creator of heaven and earth, and that all that occurs in the universe takes place under Divine Providence — that is, under God's sovereign guidance and control. According to believers, God governs creation as a loving father, "working all things for good".

...... "working all things for good", of our Soul Evolution in the big picture of Eternity.

What if you were granted the Stone but then told to put it on the shelf never to be used ?

The Stone serves the "Source" and we serve the "Source", the sooner we can come to grips with that the better .... It is not our will but His will .... unfortunately it's our ego's that get in the way and slow our Evolution.

We see ourselves as separate from each other and separate from the "Source", but as we Evolve then the ego falls away and our oneness becomes more apparent.

IMHO ...... :)
"Mathew 5 38-48
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. 40 If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also. 41 And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. 42 Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.


43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 [o]But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet your [p]brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? 48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect."

The book of Job does a great job showing that we are to be astute in the face of challenges; since they are all according to God's will after all. Realizing the role of troubles in our lives.. to test and work us up to greater spiritual heights.. such a great gift that changes everything. IMO

And this:
Mathew 6 9-19
"
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."

The ups and downs are all serving a higher purpose of teaching us lessons. As we all know, a seed will never mature into an adult plant, capable of producing fruit unless it is subjected to the dualities of water and fire. Rain & Sun.

Not trying to minimize anyone's struggles; but hey what an opportunity to OVERCOME!

"“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.” ’"

“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.” ’

“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.” ’

"
“Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden. But hold fast what you have till I come. And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations—
He shall rule them with a rod of iron;
They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels’—
as I also have received from My Father; and I will give him the morning star.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’"
"He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."

"
Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’"

"
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’ ”"


It seems like each of the 7 churches has their own particular struggles however they all have their own particular rewards for overcoming. They all imply the merging of individual consciousness with that of God or the absolute.

I know this is a reply to an old post; just putting it out there for everyone's consideration is regards to alchemy being a divine science.
These are all verses from Revelation Ch 2-4 the last part(s) of the 7 paragraphs pertaining to the 7 churches which deal with "overcoming" the world and its challenges. IMO

Not looking to debate theology, gods existence etc or that alchemy is a divine art. I do not need to prove these things to anyone and this is my opinion after all. I hope it was helpful to someone out there.

Ironically most so-called self-professed Christians are clueless about what that line in the Lord's Prayer really means. The ramifications are deep. It means you MUST accept what your God does and that all that happens is done deliberately by his will.

Hence it is utterly pointless for example praying for your wife/husband/child or other loved one to be cured from their terminal cancer.
In fact doing so is blasphemous because it's an appeal that is against God's will. Most assuredly if you allow yourself to believe the Christian religion then you must shoulder the truth that nothing happens which is not God's will. He either makes it happen directly or permits it to happen via natural causes. Either way it is God's will and intention that it happened, God is culpable.

Hence Christians should be praying for just one thing only, which is to understand God's will and know how they fit into it.

Of course the ramifications of this ideology are worrying when you look at it objectively. Why would any loving entity actually will for your loved ones to suffer and have terminal illnesses? Why would any loving entity will that an innocent child is sexually abused and/or raped by the likes of Savile?

The ideology does not remotely stack up and we (imo) delude ourselves most grievously if we allow ourselves to believe in an all-loving entity that wills/allows such wicked things to occur.

I will say that humans have free will and that we can choose to put it into alignment with God's, which will end us up in a different state than the one who goes against his will/commandments. Your example of Saville is one who blatantly violates God's will for his own means. In fact just about all of the old testament brutality of Gods judgement is directed at those who violate his ideals for our conduct here. You reap what you sow. Now In the case of one unfairly on the end of the sinners stick this is of course unfortunate however we should not assume that the equations is not balanced especially outside of physical temporal life. For he will wipe all of our tears away, those who are making themselves to be one with God and his will at least. For the rest, weeping and gnashing of teeth. The judgement. Also this:
Mathew 18-6

Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
I would say that any that Harms one of these little ones would apply also. Its unfortunate yes, but the man of Sin must take responsibility for his ungodliness. God does not desire that any should be lost to sin.

Luke 15:4-7 NKJV​

“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’ I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.

See, with humans Having free will we have the potential to do awful deeds in the sight of our Father. Well then we could say "why does god let this happen?" I will answer from my own perspective as a father. If I never gave children the ability to grow up to adulthood and have their own freedom in the world they would forever remain children. They may go out and commit terrible crimes which would distress me greatly BUT to lock them in a cage before it ever happened to prevent it would never teach them the painful lessons that come from hurting others and ultimately our selves. They would still be my children and if they could change their ways and find a way to make it right or repent , choosing by their own will to follow the moral directives their loving father laid out for them It would indeed be a happy occasion despite the dark chapters in their existence. If we couple reincarnation with these concepts we can understand that all negative experiences serve to cause pain and friction which can change the course of our pilgrimage for the better from life to life. Also for the one being abused, it is a major opportunity to overcome and exercise forgiveness scoring big points on the "how conscious are you of the bigger picture" scale of things.

I also totally abhor the example you gave, but our reality is just that and I choose to paint god in a positive light rather than a negative one. His ways are well above ours and we will fully understand when we each make the inner match the outer or merge heaven and earth.

Also, Jesus prayed to his father to have his laying on hands work ,asking the father to heal the sick through his hands.. so your logic here about this being blasphemy doesn't really add up IMO.

And that's the extent of the theological debating I am willing to do! Your sentiments are ones that many including myself have grappled with at one point or another. We ultimately decide how we want to perceive our lives and gods role or lack thereof in our lives. Blessings to you and everyone else! Let's pray for those who need it.
