AlchemyLearn about alchemy in a modern form at Educate Yourself for Tomorrow, using some of the greatest minds of the western world as your guides. Due to the way that the majority of our western thinkers are taught at our major educational institutes, we look at their works as intellectual, not spiritual. However, if we work closely and openly with these works in an active and introspective manner, we can explore ourselves through an alchemical path of spiritual development and personal transmutation. Personal Alchemy through Water Much of alchemy deals with purification. This can be accomplished by actively working to try to understand ourselves, and removing or "washing away" that which no longer serves us, the use of water in alchemy which is a part of growth and alchemical transformation. Socrates was declared the wisest man in Athens by the Oracle at Delphi, to which he responded that if this was so, it was only because he realized that he doesn't know anything. It is this openness to experience which is so prized along the path of spiritual development, a point made clearly by esoteric teacher Rudolf Steiner on numerous occasions. Alchemical Fire Symbol Complimenting this process are "fire" activities, where we cultivate certain forces within us which can foster our creativity and dynamism, which we must learn to master within ourselves. These forces can lead to tremendous insights, which can come in flashes of insight, breaking apart the limiting conceptions of our ego, leading to greater consciousness and freedom, alchemically turning lead into gold. In order to foster our spiritual growth, how do we go about activating these important processes? One way is to work with material from great men and women who have undergone many of these processes themselves and apply their insights, through your own individual experience, to yourself. This is how we have designed our curriculum at Educate Yourself for Tomorrow, to help you explore many of the spiritual masters of the western tradition. At Educate Yourself for Tomorrow, we offer numerous courses which help you examine your own conception of life, helping you move forward on your spiritual path towards greater individuality and freedom. |
