A story about a lost soul finding rredemption by overcoming self-doubt, self hate, aand self-abuse.AUTHOR’S NOTE: The person whom I intended to write this book’s Preface replied to that request: My impression is that you felt forces were against you and things occurred to thwart your growth. My belief system is that it is all lessons… similar to your belief… but we as individuals make choices that teach those lessons. I feel we must keep our auric field protected and follow angel and guardian guidance. Friends understand one another… and my friend was honestly describing that one of my progeny of water and Spirit quite honestly has chosen deliberate sabotage of my attempts at enlightenment. Some people just want to flow with the tide; to not swim upstream, but instead allow the river current to propel them forward in life with just enough effort to prevent drowning or floating into the tree limbs near the river bank. That can be a good use of Life Energy coupled with Service, Charity, and Gratitude.But this is a book on Spiritual Alchemy. It is about Templar Knights seeking to restore Grace to the Sovereign Power that created them. In a way, it is a march into Hell for a Heavenly Cause. The Men and Women of Wisdom not seeking Dominion over other souls are in fact seeking to Restore Grace for their Master(s). Accomplishing that task implies uprooting and displacing the ruling power that has, perhaps unintentionally, debased the Grace of the original Authority or Master that we serve in seeking that soul Restoration/ Reintegration/Regeneration/Renewal.Thus, to accomplish this goal, we must displace our linkages from one philosophical worldview and replace them with a different philosophy of being. Accomplishing that task pits forces against each other over a sacred piece of ground. To deny there are obstructions is to deny the fact that when someone seeks to expand their Kingdom, another principality must withdraw. Alchemy is truly about Transcending this competition. We are seeking Reintegration or wholeness. That is an alchemist’s life’s work.INTRODUCTIONThe awakening of a Fool growing wise is a story seldom told in eternal evolution of consciousness. I am told there are far wiser Magi than myself, but I have gained a level of intellectual emancipation not attained in several centuries, despite my ignorance in Understanding a few essential Spiritual concepts. I do not claim inerrancy. I have more to Learn, but I would like to share my story of self-initiation from the Gnostics/Archangels utilizing the self-understanding and Divine Understanding I have gained so far.
