Chapter 12. Alchemical Instruments
So, let’s go in order. First. Over the past month, during my calls with Big Alexander, he told me about three times that I’m just a quarter — that I’m not yet a Buddha, just a quarter of one. I kept ignoring it, but about five days ago, when he said it again, I decided to ask for clarification:
— Why? How so? I thought I was already almost God, that I’ve long been the Son of God. And you’re telling me I’m just a quarter of a Buddha? So, Buddha — you mean... Buddha is God, and I’m not in Nirvana, I’m only a quarter, is that it? — Well, you’re still a quarter.
— Unbelievable. I thought I was at least 95% Buddha, and you’re saying — a quarter? Well, alright then.
And so, five days ago, I assumed that he told me this in connection to when he said I still have much to search for in the matrix I’ve been deciphering. I thought, maybe that’s what he meant — that I haven’t found everything yet, just a little, and that’s why... Then I thought, maybe he told me that so I’d calm down a bit, not rush, not hurry. And now remember this, mark it down for the future — what Big Alexander said about me being a quarter of a Buddha. It’s going to be very interesting how that unfolds later. So fix this moment in your memory.
Now let’s go step by step. I’m opening the Wikipedia article “Alchemy.” I’ll try to highlight certain points — my own emphasis — on what needs attention, and in general, to help each of you prepare before discovering the Philosopher’s Stone, to get familiar with the basic information: what alchemy is, what the Philosopher’s Stone is, what the “Great Work” means. And I also need to direct your attention and guide it through analogies — where similar things appear, maybe in mythology, or in some ancient religion, or in certain sacred texts. But let’s begin with alchemy.
“Alchemy is an ancient field of natural philosophy that emerged within the Hermetic tradition. It is a philosophical proto-scientific discipline that was historically practiced in China, India, the medieval Islamic world, and Europe.
