#88 - Wake Up

#88 - Wake Up

Author: James Arthur Ray December 15, 2023 Duration: 10:45

This is our final episode discussing the processes of turning base metal into gold. If you've been following hopefully, you recall that this is an analogy for internal alchemy versus external alchemy. 

The gold we are creating is the awakened consciousness of who you and what you are. The awakened consciousness of your full God-given potential.

You'll also recall it's a comprehensive process: of cleaning up, growing up, and waking up. It's not a quick fix or easy… nor is it supposed to be.

If it were easy, then everyone would be fully awake and fully actualizing their potential. 

It's not supposed to be easy. But it is meaningful.

Once your body, mind and emotions are clean, then you can truly step into adulthood. Leaving old childhood baggage behind. We discussed this in our last session if you missed it.

If you're not able to let go of old friendships, relationships, and habits then you still have some cleaning work to do.

Relationships that grow together stay together. Relationships that don't grow together invariably grow apart. Or one person has to choose to stay frozen in time.

The ultimate objective of awakening is threefold:

1. The realization of oneness with God and all things.

2. The experience of oneness with God and all things.

3. The experience of Nothingness. While this is hard to describe, the alchemical and mystery teaching tell us that all things came from No-thing.

Likewise, physics tells us that all material objects ultimately come from the Quantum Vacuum. And this experience—not intellectually but experientially—is the ultimate waking up to the reality of what is as well as the reality of what isn't.

When experiencing these 3 stages you are turning your mundane base metal into gold.

In the meantime. Keep your commitment and focus on cleaning up and growing up.

Keep doing the work. It states in the mysteries: Perseverance in the Great Work will be rewarded.

And it will. And it's worth it.
