Alchemy

Alchemy: 

what we are, really, are alchemists, taking the base material that life delivers us, and turning it into the gold of a our spiritual experience. Our tool is forgiveness, performed under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This is literally how we turn our lives around. We're no longer seeking a happiness based upon the temporary conditios of the world - we're ready for joy. 

³Forgiveness offers everything I want.
⁴Today I have accepted this as true.
⁵Today I have received the gifts of God. (ACIM, W-122.14:3-5)

this then, is our inner alchemy, turning within and forgiving every thought projected outward. The world brings to our view the outer situations of an inward condition. It's a gift, really, an opportunity for us to turn within and ask the Holy Spirit to show us the gold of our true existence. Forgiveness is seeing reality, it's not transforming the illusion of lead into gold - it reveals what always and only truly present. The Holy Spirit is the master alchemist, guiding us towards our own inner revelation. 

we're gold.

and always have been.

³Every loving thought is true. ⁴Everything else is an appeal for healing and help, regardless of the form it takes. (ACIM, T-12.I.3:3-4)

the Holy Spirit will show us only what is true. We bring that base material that life delivers, and offer it all to the master alchemist within. Nothing is transformed. But everything is seen, truly so, and the world shines in the golden light of reality. 

it's love.

and that's what we are.
