The ancient art of
alchemy, which allegedly originated from the Land of Khem (Ancient Egypt), is
secretly embedded in the texts of the Kabbalah, the Tarot, and the Emerald
Tablet of Hermes. It is a hidden yet sacred science which bridges the world of
chemistry and metallurgy with the spiritual worlds of Mastery and the Ascension
Process. Many of its subtle and profound mysteries are lost to the worlds of the
ancients, however the Master Teachers often refer to this word as the process
of inner transformation, which builds and refines, and ultimately helps one to
release Earthly bondage and to enter into the freedom of spiritual experience
and knowledge. The alchemic spiritual process is often referred to by esoteric
practitioners as transforming base metal into gold, a practical metaphor for
the spiritual aspirant. The science of alchemy is also known in Ascended Master
circles as the “Sacred Fire,” which is the seminal spark of the magnificent
Violet Flame. Manly Hall writes: “The Great Arcanum (Knowledge) was the most
prized of the secrets of the Atlantean priestcraft. When the lands of Atlas
sank, hierophants of the Fire Mystery brought the formula to Egypt, where it remained
in the possession of the sages and philosophers.”
