What is Alchemy? - Teal Swan

Alchemy is the philosophy and practice of liberating a physical substance from its "fixed" physical properties. But the most important thing to understand is that there can be no external alchemy without there first being internal alchemy.

Alchemy covers several philosophical traditions spanning some four millennia and several continents, but we can sum it up in this way... Alchemy is the philosophy and practice of liberating a physical substance from its "fixed" physical properties.

Like other sciences, early alchemists used scientific processes, in other words techniques that could be replicated in a lab. But unlike other sciences, you cannot separate the scientific process of alchemy from hermetic principals and spirituality. Those principals and spiritual truths are the basis upon which alchemy stands.

I realize that many of you are upset that I didn't actually turn the water into wine in this video... I am trying to improve my comprehension of humor... I figured an old "Bewitched" transition would be funny! Was I wrong?

He's my brother! Take my leg Take my arm! Take my heart! ANYTHING YOU CAN HAVE IT! Just give him back! He's my little brother, he's all i have left!

Alchemy can be defined as the concious intentional process of transmutation, purification and perfection of the soul

[KeithGuthrie]

I like how everyone here is commenting things based on the anime, and I'm actually here studying, learning, and trying to actually follow the trail ancient philosophers left for us to piece together.

[mibaotoanmom]

Got it! Alchemy involves first cleansing, then purification, before transmutation, to finally achieve ascension!!! The entire process of the "dark night of the soul" prior to freedom! Understood alchemy finally: Eureka!!! (-:

Instructions were not clear enough I lost an arm and my brother.

"there can be no external alchemy, without there first being internal alchemy" - teal swan

So epic

You actually can turn lead into gold by forcibly taking away 3 protons but it would cost more to do than the gold itself.

I have been going through the same thing. Recently I realized who this invisible competitor was, myself. My ego told my spirit my choices, ideas, and emotions weren't good enough. If you keep your focus on being poor then you will remain so. When you see through your shadow and accept the beauty of your soul, that will be your new focus, not what you lack but what you have in abundance. Accept your beauty, believe in yourself and you will do more than you've ever imagined. Namaste.

What is alchemy?
It's the equivalent exchange of science, and magic.

[gigilagous]

You are the first person to explain so much calmly softly with ease .
You are a beautiful being inside and out .

[AmandaFlaker]

This is one of my favorite videos you've ever created. Well done. Beautiful.

[jdlovely]

Thank you for talking about 'inner / spiritual alchemy'! In this experience, so much attention is focused on the outward manifestation it was enlightening to hear about what actually makes that happen. love and light!

[TheModernAlchemistChannel]

Great job!  I especially enjoyed that you mentioned that having an ACTUAL scientific background or foundation is essential to understanding Alchemy and the deeper esoteric principles to which they relate.  Of course, one need not have an Alchemy lab in their home, but having an well-grounded academic understanding of the physical principles lending Structure to our world is the only way to begin to understand the operations of the Etheric worlds which dance and slide around us, or to understand and quell the chaos which ever resides within our Minds; a chaos which stands in direct opposition to the ordered state of our physical form.  

Seeing these relationships and how they operate in context or relation to each other is the very foundation of the Principle of Correspondence!  

Thank you for taking the time to put this together!  Well done!  =D

TEAL, I am never upset, - in the proverbial meaning of that word, but you do "UP-SET" my BEING to a better "SETTING ". So TEAL, you do "UP-SET" me, I am so glad you do, I love being "lifted" up setting in high vibes. I am looking forward to attending you next work shop, I would have watched it today -streaming, but I had some prearranged appointments, to fulfill. I imagine the workshop was a success today, peace, joy, and prosperity. mike

[carnivorewitch]

Teal seriously, I love you. haha Inner alchemy moves outer worlds!

[Chantal-Durward]

Only the highly spiritual conscious person, the light workers of the word, will understand what you are saying here Teal. I love this video because it explains the spiritual nature of a person's change, from doing the hard work with self to become more linear. In order to connect yourself to your higher self spiritually, become all that you came here to be in order to serve yourself and the world. Those that don't understand this video, have a lot of work to do, they need to seek there spiritual essence, with help of a spiritual coach and stop making excuses that are predicted by resistance they live in. Thank you :)

[gracelewis]

This explains so much more than just Alchemy, than what I thought it was going to. Huge Insights, Thank you.
