Until very recently Gold was on of the primary standards of wealth, and though money is no longer backed by it, it still caries the connotation of wealth. Since the creation of gold is one of the central metaphors of Alchemy, it is reasonable to talk about alchemy as creating wealth. The question is what kind of wealth are we talking about here? While I have already said that the core goal of alchemy is aimed at something less tangible then gold, I also said that part of the reason for using a metaphor is that it can contain multiple layers of meaning. I think the creation of monetary wealth has an authentic place in ‘legitimate’ application of the art and science of alchemy though the motivation for creating monetary wealth will be different for Global Alchemist as I am meaning here, then it is for a lot of people (see Intro to the Alchemical Wealth Building Blog) . In addition to transforming lead into gold, the same Philosopher’s Stone that is named as the agent for that transformation is also described as have the capacity to heal all ailments and even grant eternal life. So the wealth of health is also clearly indicated. As was mentioned in the goal of alchemy post it is widely known in spiritual circles that Alchemy was intended to create Spiritual Wealth which encompasses within it all forms of psychological and inner wealth. I call this Alchemical Wealth which includes the Ultimate Alchemical Wealth which is the core goal of alchemy and Relative Alchemical Wealth such as rich inner qualities. Thus the skillful means of alchemy can be applied to create any kind of wealth, inner or outer. Of coarse the central aim is the Ultimate Wealth of your own True Nature but there is a special kind of relative wealth that is far more valuable then all others kinds of relative wealth because it has very special qualities. I call this Alchemical Karmic Wealth
Alchemical Karmic Wealth is a very special form karmic wealth. I will be explaining Karmic Wealth in depth in future posts when I discuss the Principle of Karma Mechanics. In brief one way to model how Karma operates is to think of it as a kind of currency and all the things you experience get purchased with Karmic Currency. It is important to emphasis that this is just a metaphor to help understand how to use The Principle of Karma Mechanics and not literal description. It is a map and the map is not the territory. Every thing we think, say or do makes deposits of karmic currency into specific accounts. There are a huge number of individual accounts and the deposits made in those accounts can only be spent on the “things” that account is specified for. Without the application of special methods all deposits will eventually get spent and I will talk about the mechanisms of that spending when I explore Karma Mechanics in detail. Until the deposits get spent they accumulate interest. Some of these accounts are to buy things that no one wants to buy, but eventually these deposits will get spent to buy them none the less. These are what people label as the negative experiences in their lives. Other accounts will ‘purchase’ the things considered desirable. However it is possible to mismanage even these accounts. That is to say it is possible to cause the deposits to be spent but because the purchases don’t support your Visionary Heart Path. Tthey don’t create any lasting satisfaction and can distract you from your Visionary Heart Path.
Alchemical Karmic Wealth is a special account that operates differently then any other kind of account. First, Alchemical Karmic Wealth is a general fund and any kind of relative phenomena can be purchased from but only if it will enhance your Visionary Heart Path. Second you can only spend the interest. That way you are always creating new Alchemical Wealth and with each new deposit the rate you create new wealth increases. These qualities make even small deposits in the Alchemical Karmic Wealth Account far more valuable then any other kind of deposit. Once you commit to the Core Intention it is easy to create Alchemical Wealth all day long. Learning how to manage and work with these Karmic Accounts is one of the hidden keys to all success both ordinary and sublime and is largely missing from most modern success methods including the more esoteric inclusive ones that include the so called ‘law of attraction’. As will be explained when I discuss Karma Mechanics in more detail, lack of this key can cause the application of the ‘law of attraction’ to have some very unfortunate side effects.
