Modern Alchemy
Alchemy is the process of intentional transformation.
The idea of taking an ordinary experience, and re-scripting it in a new and remarkable way.
Alchemy is a philosophical and physical practice - aimed at the purification, maturity and perfection of ourselves.
Deliberately. Purposefully. Cultivating extraordinariness.
In many of the same ways, we are seeking transformation exactly as our ancestors did - who sought to use alchemy in turning base elements into precious gold. // Uncovering the worthiness. //
Modern alchemy I believe has evolved this pursuit. Instead of merely focusing on refining base metals into objects of worth, we have turned our attention towards the uncovering the worthiness of our own (INTIMATE) humanity - we begin to recognize the ways we can transform our bodies, our minds, our abilities.
We are the greatest, most intellectually capable creatures on the planet.
Alchemy is recognition of this truth - the belief that we are engaged in a perpetual state of refinement & evolution.
Seek out your most sovereign self.

The Past is a Ghost
The past may be our ghost.
It may haunt us, it may whisper thoughts and emotions to our present self.
The past was us, it made today, it built us into the stories we've become. But the past is not loyal to us, it is not loyal to the sovereignty of our present selves.
The past only remembers itself. For better or worse.
The past may be a story of our alchemy, but it is not intent and striving for our present longing and transformation.
I am not in conflict with my past. Neither am I in agreement with it altogether.
I am not tethered to its raggedness,
or its shine.
