The process of changing
or “transforming” lead into gold
is a process of making coarser impressions
into finer ones.
This can be done externally
in one’s environment and actions.
It can also be done internally
by developing sensitivity
to impressions in one’s essence,
and psychologically,
by being present to these impressions
and experiencing them more fully.
Alchemy has never been limited
to the practical working of substances;
it has always had a spiritual and soulful aspect.
A perfect example of this is St. John of the Cross,
who was also called the Alchemist of the Soul.
He was able to give guidance
for the alchemical mutation process,
which is a kind of mystical purification.
