The Alchemist

The true alchemy lies not in turning base metal into gold, or in finding immortality. When I come to think of it, being immortal and having infinite wealth would bring no absolution. Not to me at least (I think). It is possible that this concept of alchemy is just another metaphor. So what is true alchemy? I believe it is being able to cleanse your perception from a mundane materialistic reality and then delivering your being into a spiritual reality. I don’t mean spiritual strictly in a religious sense (cant say I’m a very religious person)…however what I mean by ‘spiritual reality’ can best be defined by what Einstein put forth as the purpose of life (putting aside all religions) “is to live for your fellow man”. To me that’s simple and sensible enough. A spiritual reality that is poetic and not chaotic. Idealistic, I know… and like all the dinosaurs of idealism perhaps, may never be unearthed? Such a defeating thought. But I believe we are all alchemists, and we all hold the philosopher’s stone deep within us…and with it we can turn base metal (mundane materialistic reality) into gold (spiritual poetic reality)…all you need to do is open up your fucking pineal gland. Our collective unconscious has been tainted by the week’s top notch product advertising commercials…BUY BUY BUY!!! Fucking monkeys!! Monkeys killing monkeys over pieces of the ground!(TOOL) Monkeys wearing their pride while their genitals hanging down exposed. Capitalism is slavery…globalization is the new mask of imperialism. No alchemy can deliver us from this…not unless our collective unconscious has been first cleansed. Yes we are trapped in the belly of this horrible machine…and the machine is bleeding to death(GY!BE)…I think I will dig a hole in the ground, and bury myself with the dinosaurs of idealism…maybe I just don’t get “IT”…I’ll never let “IT” get me anyway…I think my migraine just got worse. Hope you all have a good fucking day!!!
