Modern Alchemy with James Arthur Ray and Bersabeh Ray

We’ve been discussing the most important keys to Alchemy and Transmutation. Counting the cost before beginning the journey Knowing what you stand for Being willing to sacrifice for what you stand for. These are all important and another key that’s equally important is telling the truth. This may seem simple, but we live in a world where truth doesn’t often appear to be highly valued. In fact, thos...

Are you happy with the state of your world and THE world in general right now? Are you truly willing to do what it takes to change your world first and then possibly change the world? Count the cost before you begin the journey because there’s always a price for the prize. Are you willing to make transmuting your own world the primary thing? Or are you just curious? Let’s face it, we live in turbu...

“Many are called but few are chosen” ~ Matthew 22:14 It’s vitally important to count the cost before you begin the journey. Many are “called” to higher principles, morals, and values. But what soon becomes apparent is that while they may be curious, but they’re not committed. The inarguable fact is that it’s difficult to escape the Matrix, or what we call socialized mind and programing. Some even...

This is our final episode discussing the processes of turning base metal into gold. If you’ve been following hopefully, you recall that this is an analogy for internal alchemy versus external alchemy.  The gold we are creating is the awakened consciousness of who you and what you are. The awakened consciousness of your full God-given potential. You’ll also recall it’s a comprehensive process: of c...

If you’ve been following this series, you must realize by now that alchemy—turning base metal into gold—is a long and complex process.  You might recall this process is a 3-step process: clean up, grow up, wake up. We’ve discussed the clean-up process pretty thoroughly. Cleaning your body of toxins: substances, poor nutrients, dietary habits, thoughts, emotions, feelings, contrary to most personal...

If you’ve been following for the last several episodes, it should be obvious that to “turn base metal into gold” is a lengthy and complicated process. You may recall we discussed some time ago that the first stage of alchemy is “melanosis” which is the blackening or destroying phase. For anything new to live something first must die. As we “put to death old dietary habits, old thinking processes,...

Continuing with the cleanup theme, we’ve discussed toxins and diet, now let’s move up to your mind and thoughts. Please remember that it’s very difficult, if not impossible, to clean up your thinking when your mind is clouded with toxins and poor nutrition. Once you’ve made some headway in the body clean up you can start to clean your thinking. Let me ask you to consider: if you had a friend that...

Jeff’s journey started from humble beginnings in Chicago, Illinois. He came from a  middle class working family that struggled financially, as most families in America do today. Driven by the motivation to avoid pain caused by finances, Jeff set out to make his own way and pursue his dreams. But, Jeff hit a point where he had a negative net worth. He built up debt to a level that made him feel as...

Last week we continued our discussion on transmutation—turning base metal into gold (metaphorically) We discussed that there are 3 things we must do to grow and evolve: clean up, grow up and wake up; and we discussed cleaning your body of toxins and stimulants. Let’s continue our discussion of clean up by discussing your diet. Let’s start off with a disclaimer: we are not medical or dietary profes...

We’ve discussed the literal meaning of turning base metal into gold, beyond the metaphors and blinds of alchemical teachings. Ultimately, it’s about evolving the low-level consciousness of unconscious incompetence into the high level of conscious competence of the Higher Self. Also known as Christ Consciousness or Supreme Buddha Mind. Obviously, there is no quick fix or magic pill to accomplish th...

Unfortunately, most have very little self-awareness. ASK: Who are you? Beyond what you do Beyond what you have or own If everything was taken away from you: friends, family, colleagues, business, finances… who would you be? Most people have little to no understanding of who they are. I’m an entrepreneur, parent, man/woman, engineer, architect… Those are all things you do, or a role you play. They...

Transmutation not denial is the tool of mastery ~ Esoteric Axiom Possibly we’ve all heard about this crazy concept of alchemy where ancient scientists attempted to turn base metal into gold. That’s a metaphor and a front for the Catholic church during the Inquisition (sought out and destroyed “heresy”) What transmutation really means is taking something of low value (lead) and turning it into some...

Chaos Theory: all creation and all order come from chaos which must be structured and ordered. Order is just organized Chaos.  We began a discussion on the transmutation of the sacred into secularism last week. This transmutation has been in operation since the Renaissance and the concept of Humanism; but has accelerated in most recent years. This is problematic; and it creates many current issues...

We want to talk about an alchemical process that’s been taking place in our society for hundreds of years now. An alchemical process in reverse. (More on that in a moment) The replacement and suppression of the sacred for secularism. You see, all tools are neutral. They can be used for God and goodness or the darkest evil. This includes Alchemy. The  highest  purpose and use of Alchemy is to trans...

This is the 3rd episode of Three Alchemical Qualities for Success. We’ve covered Resilience and Utilization and today we’d like to discuss one that is not popular with many people: Delayed Gratification. Unfortunately, far too many in today’s world are looking for fast fame, simple success, and quick fix gimmicks. These strategies don’t work. Great work takes time; and you must be willing to sacri...

We’ve been discussing success and the qualities necessary to achieve it in your life, relationships, and business. Last episode we discussed resilience. The ability to get knocked down and to get back up. Let’s discuss the next quality today: Utilization. While resilience gives you the endurance to keep going, Utilization is more than that. Utilization is leverage. Utilization is taking the hit, g...

In our last session we began a discussion on success; and today we want to discuss one of the Three Alchemical Qualities for success. You may recall that in our last episode we discussed the fact that success is a very personal and individual issue.  It’s vitally important that you choose something worthy of trading your life for. That being said, once you’ve made your choice of what you intend to...

Wiley's path began with fellow combat veterans who were struggling with PTSD while trying to transition back into civilian life. His success with them led to working with various health professionals, high-powered executives, professional athletes, celebrities, and influencers. As referrals continued to mount, he felt it was time to make himself more accessible to other leaders looking for – a...

What is success? Many believe it’s a certain size of business, bank account, notoriety, fame, or fortune. While those things might be present, they are not in and of themselves success. They’re the by-product of success. Earl Nightingale stated, “Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.” This is about as good as it gets for a definition. Success is progressive. It’s not an end poi...

We’ve been discussing attention in the last two episodes and the fact that most have very poor attention muscles. Let’s finish this topic up for now in this episode. To have focused attention takes a tremendous amount of will. Will is defined as the ability to give yourself a command and then follow it. How many people make promises they don’t keep to themselves? I’m going to get up early. I’m goi...

Last episode we began discussing the power of attention. This is not just a metaphysical or alchemical principle; this is backed up by quantum physics as well. Most are really good at articulating their intention—I want this or I want that—but when it comes to keeping their attention locked upon the thing they say they choose to create, this is where they fall short. Let’s face it, there are many...
