Golden Aura

An alchemist is a medieval chemical scientist and philosopher. The best-known goals of the alchemists were the transmutation of common metals into gold or silver; the creation of a "panacea", or the elixir of life, a remedy that, it was supposed, would cure all diseases and prolong life indefinitely; and the discovery of a universal solvent. This practice was as much philosophical and spiritual, as it was a scientific discipline.

Some Hermetic schools argue that the transformation of lead into gold is equivalent to the transmutation of the physical body into gold, with the goal of attaining immortality. This is described as Internal Alchemy.

Cultures from around the globe have sought this practice for over 2,500 years. Today it is incorporated into religious, metaphysical and cultural interpretation.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

“The only gold that does not fluctuate in value with the markets is the golden illumination of spiritual unity with the Goddess.” tc

Games People Play

So often we become consumed with the trivial aspects of our life that we forget that there ARE other people out there holding a greater need than we have. It is hard to understand sometimes, but true. Moments when I have been really tired, I am presented with another person in need or situation that my assistance in helping them supersedes my current fatigue.
Again, an example arises when I am so hungry that food is my focused thought. However, a calling to help another reminds me that I am not starving and my bodily desire can be prolonged a little longer.

These are tough lessons when my culture has reinforced just how special “I am” as an individual, above all others.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

“Look to help those in need and you will never do without.” tc
