Alchemy is the root of all existence. We do not often talk about it because it is truth for every belief. All religions are deep rooted in spiritual alchemy, when we create friction individually or in a group with one religious faith. The world today teaches that alchemy is occult, when ignorantly it is not. It is based on the four prime elements of fire, earth, water, and air but combined to form ether, or the ethereal realm. Mathematics, medicine, chemistry, biology are of the other side of alchemy, or that which is science-based.
Psychological alchemy creates the idea that the brain is God, or least His residence, better referred to as consciousness. The author is speaking of alchemy–and specifically, Carl Jung’s psychotherapeutic interpretation of it. In the last major phase of his career, Jung, the father of archetypal psychology, turned to the lost art and arcane texts of alchemy in his research, claiming that alchemical processes subtly embodied and richly symbolized the psycho-spiritual transformations that occur during deep therapy (Mayes, 2003). He was referring to the relationship between teacher and student, not just on a psychological level, but in any teaching of science subjects.
In the ideological alchemy of teaching South African student about apartheid, Christian education had to use fundamental pedagogics or teachings to keep it in balance. Children educational advancement through skill is the main theme. This paper written in the Journal of Curriculum Studies evaluates these claims and concludes that they are untenable considering the history, nature, and purpose of South African fundamental and didactic pedagogical thinking (Yonge, 2008). There is a connecting of educational and fundamental Christian teachings, which must resolve without conflict. Staying with education, metaphorically, “educational alchemy” is the process by which schools convert into more effective learning environments (Mugits, 1997). The term itself can be use in aspects of literature, as a transmutation or transformation, such as Franz Kafka’s book, ‘Metamorphosis,’ which is a common theme of movies of today of regular people turning into superheroes.
Alchemy, on the metallurgical level, is the transmutation of base metals into gold, which is like transmutation of humans into individuals, who are healthy, but with a different alchemical process. The metaphor of alchemy is used since the practice of alchemy entailed amalgamating base metals in the hopes of transmuting them into gold (Gibbons, 2013).
Therefore, if you really want to talk to the modern alchemist, talk to your pharmacist. They are the chemists working in the medical field that have the knowledge of what medicines consist of, and the properties surrounding them and their use.

We are uniquely different but collectively the same in consciousness. God is the collective awareness of all the universe, which we cannot even begin to understand. Though our world divides in multiple ways regarding religious faith and conviction, and even those that have no faith or consider themselves atheists, who have not achieved that state of knowing who God is, yet. Someday, all of us will get that infused knowledge of everything and every being in the universe, which is a continuing battle between good and evil.
People who specifically choose sides tend to be more hateful toward those that do not think or believe like them. It is normal in such a competitive world, which I never attached myself to in my youth or even today. In elementary school, my klutziness and obesity made me the last pick of all the physical education classes, so I did not appreciate being in anyone’s group. I chose not to have any best friends growing up. Even the boys and men I grew up with had their own best friends, which is something I did not adopt in my life that made me less biased.
God is the same for everyone, and if you are Christian and think believing Jesus is the only way to heaven, you are set in your ways of belief limitations. That is why I choose to be more spiritual than religious because I have experienced both sides of the coin in my life, which makes the world for me a continued purgation. We live in moments of heaven and hell during our lives, which brings fear along with ignorance that makes us choose to be part the majority or status quo.
If you do not get past this, your reality will stay the same until your death unless you get a glimpse of it beforehand, and know that materialism and mortality do not exist beyond our final transformation into pure spirit, which still may take time in a place in between, we call purgation or purgatory or like the phrase you commonly hear or read is, that “you must go through hell to get to heaven.”
Creation can happen in a split second to billions of years. Forming life takes time as canyon walls, visualized a great river tormenting and carving out the side of the mountain. The magma pulsing hotly forming the earth before life even started by openings near top of the volcano, from the depths of the mantle. It took time for the rock to form and settle, with thousands of layers millions of years creating hard elements. Of course, the four basic elements of air, fire, earth, and water made our world into what it is today.
I walked along the beach, as the crystalline sand glimmered for me during a beautiful yellow, orange, and red glowing sunset. It had hints of purple caused by red glow and fading blue sky. Hints of green from both the yellow and blue oncoming twilight as well as all the greenery upon the land. There were tidbits of gold, indigo, azure, and other tones dabbled throughout the beautiful scene.
Creating Existence Is Timely
Life began with a thought forming swirls of protons, neutrons, and electrons and a bit of stardust formed life. I am amazed that my thoughts, not often correct, create a sense of understanding thus giving me hope and reason to learn. more about everything, but it everything there is forming on a different level and relative to time. There is a story behind all we perceive and behind what we do not perceive, only by faith. Faith keeps everything eternal including life and how it is forming in time.
Then mathematics is the language of who, what, when, why, and how this creating process occurred. We get stuck with infinite patterns, fractals, and appendages of the Mandelbrot set getting smaller down to the sub-atomic level. As it grows larger, the golden ratio or spiral predicts what we see as peculiarities yet exquisite natural beings and formations. The pattern of the sunflower, the conche shell, and the Milky Way are remarkably similar. This article from the University of Chicago News Section about the Origins of Life on Earth Explained. The creating of our existence is continually happening and timely especially in regard to destruction or chaos.
There Is Uniqueness in All Life
Lightning is like the neural pathways of our brain and the root system of a forest, where even trees and plants have their own communication. Even rocks themselves give out an earth musical tone or energy, which may be more understandable. We must understand that even though we all are different in appearance, we are the same inside. God is the Father, Mother, Child, and the list goes on but not as separate entities, because we are all One. Therefore, forming a life you want takes time.
This morning gave me a new meaning for being alive. Sleep was deep and insightful, as if I received an injection with a vibrant drug from heaven above. The synapses are firing with a synchronicity of the universe that is expanding my mind in ways that I did not know were attainable. Each one of us has this gift inside that we normally do not tap into for gaining knowledge and knowing the source from which we came.
We either accept or reject what we do not understand, thus choosing our own paths in life, which are sometimes more difficult to walk. If you let the natural rhythms of nature, including yourself, flow like a river meandering down the mountain into an ocean full of possibilities, you will fulfill the wonderful dreams you have often have in life.
Too, the energy you receive occurs from your living environment and the people that you are around. There is an unproven law we accept that everything has energy from a rock to the empty space between two of us no matter how near or far. I am starting to see and understand the formulas and information in everything that ever was, is, and will be.
My spirit is willing, but my body does not want to follow, and it wants to go into a comforting and restful entropic or near vegetative state, as I get older. My mind expands and merges into the all-encompassing omnipotent universal or, what I call, Christ consciousness. It is an awareness too many people do not achieve in this lifetime, but it is the most beautiful and blissful experience once you get there.
There is only one or more things that stop us, and that is having limiting beliefs, such as following one religion, or choosing sides and not focusing on truth, which is that we are one in the spirit and one in the Lord and the universe. Each of us is the center of the universe within the perspective of singularity.
For one woman, I am her true hero,
Have I met her yet? I do not know.
She is the one, and I am her zero,
My nothing is her everything beau.
Her divine feminine is of my dream,
My divine masculine is of her God.
This woman and man form steam,
Our passion is not a false façade.
We do not mask the truth together,
Openly, we display our love divinely.
Navigate clear and stormy weather,
Our lives merging purely and finely.
I drink her in as sipping a fine wine,
My soberness lost from her beauty.
Tasting her unique flavor is a sign,
It brings me to earth; she is my duty.
Our lips meet, the sparks fly astray,
As if the pearly gates opened wide.
I often with her, forget what to say,We are the ebb and flow of the tide.
God brings us together woman and man,
It is all written as part of His divine plan.
I am a highly sensitive person and affected by the vibrations or frequencies ofevery person, place, or thing. I am looking for a woman partner, who understands this about me and knows how to calm me in times of overwhelming energies. She is like me in most respects or has helped a family member or has been a caregiver of someone with similar characteristics.
Everything interconnects in the universe, and my connections with most people are usually short-lived unless through kinship or going through similar experiences in life. With a sensitive person like me, the senses are a little more enhanced and emotional involvement can be a problem, especially when interacting with someone who cares about themselves more than others. I enjoy helping people but deplore people who take advantage of me or others. Of course, that is what makes the world work, those dichotomous conflicts between people and groups.
If all of us were good, then this world would be a dull place indeed. I am not a difficult person to have a good relationship with, but I must have your loyalty, trust, and acceptance of who I am. The complications of being this way makes me want to minimize my life if possible.
Know that I am unique but human, and do not like the spotlight. If you want a man, who can be loving, and without you wanting to control me or everything we experience together, then I would like to know you.
If you see both my strengths and weaknesses and allow me to be vulnerable with you, then you are the right one for me. I want to be your equal yet be the man of the relationship.
I can compromise but still be able to be the leader in most situations unless of a domestic nature, like when it comes to social events and such.
Overly sensitive people are infrequent yet eclectic, and the rarest personalities on this earth right now.
Even having opposing views or personalities could be a relationship that would work out for the best.
Chaos is the opposite of control or orderliness. I like to make order out of chaos, which seems strange to people I have met and come to know over the span of my life so far. You understand why there are laws enforced by law enforcement officers locally and the military on a global scale. If we lived in a world without law and order, the entire world would go into chaos and there would be thousands of diverse groups and people trying to take over the world.
In respect to how chaos played out in educational institutions during Covid-19 is one of the examples of how the problems resolve in teaching students. Fortunately, there are a higher number of schools and colleges that were already teaching online but also supporting the traditional classroom setting. International students in the United States struggled during the pandemic. The findings reveal a sense of chaos, an aversion to online instruction, a lack of non-academic support form institutions, and a tarnished, but still attractive image of the US as a destination for study abroad.[1]
To summarize other problems areas within higher education, there are cases of how the pandemic caused problems of race and equity. The resources online were not as readily available to minorities during Covid-19, and teachers could not focus well on providing those students similarly as in a traditional classroom setting.[2] Before the pandemic in person teacher to student interaction made it easier to consider giving everyone individually the best learning process.
To also abridge, in the movie ‘Jurassic Park’ based on the book written by Michael Crichton, the character played by Jeff Goldblum, he is a chaos theorist. As the infrastructure of the park started breaking down, he was put right into the middle of chaos generated by the dinosaurs for survival, thus getting the most difficult lesson considering his work.[3] We’ll dive deep into what chaos theory means and how it affects different internal structures and people of the world.
The idea of chaos theory is how an event, such how one thing, such as the destruction of twin towers in New York caused chaos worldwide and even minutely affected time. It is like when a butterfly flaps its wings in China, the affects can cause a thunderstorm in a large metropolis of the United States, which is a thought of how the theory works. Most mainstream discussion of chaos theory has attempted to help people understand it by breaking it down into ultra-digestible Pablum. The folly is that we are doing to chaos theory exactly what the theory warns us against.[4]
Even in the ancient practices of Eastern philosophy and religion, exploring the intricate relationship between chaos theory and Buddhist teachings reveals profound insights into the nature of causality and existence, motivating readers to delve deeper into these complex ideas.[5] The butterfly effect as mentioned earlier is just a small part of it, but the complexity of mathematical models, such as the oscillation and waves of particles in physics and electricity. The static produced by dissonance frequencies is another form of chaos, as represented by the theory.
Specific fields of technology like Terahertz semiconductor chaos. Chaos characterized by its irregularity and high sensitivity to initial conditions finds various applications in secure optical communications, random number generations, light detection and ranging systems, etc.[6]
Like I had mentioned in my writings before, the dichotomous nature of our world and universe is full of both structured chaos and order. Fractals are an infinite orderliness of patterns as seen in nature. It is the Golden spiral as seen in art or a conch shell. The pattern of sunflowers seeds in a sunflower.
The chaotic twist of wind into a vortex within a tornado that destroys everything in its path is a prime example. Lightning with its chaotic charge, as seen by Nikola Tesla as a thing of beauty, is like the pattern of neural networks of our brain.
My mind at times has been in a chaotic state, as I am sure also in the minds of thousands if not billions of people.

Our ancestors often pass down bad qualities or characteristics to their heirs, but there are sometimes unknown heroes, who stop it by themselves. If you have the mindset of achieving perfection, then maybe you should just accept excellence. My belief is that we should adopt uniqueness or something rare in ourselves that makes us different from the status quo.
We rely on a power greater than ourselves, whom we mostly claim as a deity. Hence, We have mentors and people we look up to, but all-in-all we have the free will to make personal choices, which will not be right all the time. We get other chances to make it right.
Mind, Body, Emotions, and Spirit Create Our Individuality
Each one of us has a mind, body, emotions, and a spirit, and creates our individuality or persona. We tend to look for balance, but people do excel only in one of the four, sometimes. You can have a weak mind and strong body, but there will not be balance unless our emotions and spirit are closer to same level as the other two.
I know, personally, I let my emotions get to me and have often worn my heart on my shirt sleeve. There is a connection between mind and spirit, which is consciousness, and it is one of the newest revelations on the planet. The body is just a vessel for this life, and usually the emotions tie everything together to make us human.
Thus, having a deeper connection and understanding of everything and everyone makes our transformation from an egotistical body and life into a spiritual one easier.
