In Spiritual Alchemy, the container is one’s awareness. The fuel is a heightened state of consciousness, which can be invoked or attuned to with simple awareness exercises.

By placing those aspects of our being which are no longer serving us into our awareness, and bringing the fires of transformational consciousness from within the subtle realms, to our assistance, we can transform those wounds and meet more fully our greater existence.

Awareness is a powerful tool.

One of the first laws of magic is an understanding that energy follows awareness. This is the principal involved in intention, and the Law of Attraction (made popular these days through the movie, The Secret, but much earlier stated by the Egyptian Thoth in written traditions, in his oracles now viewed in The Kybalion and other texts.

Awareness is involved in everything we do, even when we are not focusing our awareness. Whether lifting our finger to type, reading this article, or journeying into the inner realms of consciousness. The reality is, we are most often fully aware of what we are doing and what is around us. We simply choose to not focus our awareness, and thus, much of our energy escapes us or dissipates throughout the day, and through the choices of our lives, which are made without the fullness of awareness. The teachings of most advanced esoteric schools of spiritual illumination and development, as well as the schools of high magic and ceremony, involve immense practices for focusing awareness, drawing in immense forms of energy. The Taoists are said to have lived off the life force of morning dew, so refined were their practices. Hindu, Jainist, and others of India are known to develop practices of breatharianism, needing no more than a few ounces of water a day to keep the body fluid, otherwise living off the supple forces of Heaven and Earth.
