The Athanor Letter

August 3, 2024

Life’s most noble and rewarding pursuit is awakening your biological machine.

It’s the one single decision that will permanently transform the way you experience health, wealth and relationships.

It’s the one thing that will align you with your true purpose.

“Wait, what do you mean with “my biological machine?”

In a nutshell, your biological machine is your personality, or the interface that your Soul uses to interact with 3D reality.

It is made up of 3 bodies (physical, emotional and mental), custom-designed by your Soul before incarnation.

The Soul designs this shell in order to evolve, become more self-aware and move to a higher level of consciousness.

Let me be clear:

The Soul - on its plane of existence - is already awake.

It is your biological machine that must be awakened, not your Soul.

The awakening of consciousness consists in establishing an increasingly stable contact between an already awake entity (Soul) with a sleeping entity (personality).

This contact ends up having a double effect: evolutionary on the former, awakening on the latter.

The Soul follows a constant evolutionary impulse, and thanks to the cycle of incarnation on planet Earth it becomes increasingly luminous and self-aware.

As I explain in my book ‘The Door of Fire’, this evolutionary process - if abandoned to the mechanical laws of matter - is very slow and requires countless incarnations.

Thanks to conscious Alchemical work, this twofold process undergoes a drastic acceleration:

1. The so-called ‘Glorified Body’ (or causal body) is created within your biological machine. The Glorified Body is the “shell” that allows the Soul to be in charge and to move consciously in matter.
2. Gradually, your center of awareness shifts from the biological machine to the Soul. You stop being identified with the entity that only cares about surviving and lives in fear, and you identify with that part of you that’s immortal and doesn’t fear death.

This is NOT the enlightenment that the non-duality gurus refer to.

That kind of non-duality is a state of union with God that basically anyone equipped with the right tools can experience (I.E. through sexual energy work, drugs, breathwork, and so on).

But while this 'artificial' moment of identification with the One can bring you some well-being, the results are usually impermanent, fleeting and do not solve your more practical problems related to health, wealth and relationships.

And what’s the point of having psychedelic visions if you can’t have a quiet lunch with your relatives or make ends meet at the end of the month?

It makes no sense.

Moreover, the frantic search for this state can also be dangerous for a sleeping biological machine, as the excessive and early influx of energy facilitated by those DIY awakening techniques risks burning out your nervous system.

The process that I teach in the Modern Alchemy program is different, as it requires an integrated, sustained and conscious effort in your everyday life.

It’s your own personal initiatory journey, which leads your Soul to become master of its biological machine and to start acting effectively in matter.

The Alchemist acts on two fronts:

1. Through correct and in-depth intellectual knowledge
2. Through the construction of the ‘Glorified Body’ (thanks to self-remembering and opening of the Heart)

In today's world, your spiritual path MUST coincide with the trials that life presents you each and every day - that is, those events that force you to question your false egos and your distorted mechanisms and worldviews.

Inside your biological machine, you already have all the tools you need in order to undertake this path.

What you’re missing is the instruction manual.

The purpose of Modern Alchemy is to provide you with such manual.

It's not just about working 1:1 with me for 3 months.

It's a lifelong process.

This framework will be your faithful companion for the rest of your life, and will potentially revolutionize your experience on this planet - as long as you put in the effort.

You become a true Alchemist when:

• you stop isolating yourself from the world
• you develop a solid inner center that translates into pursuing fulfilling external goals
• you learn to change your material reality
• you become an instrument of service for humanity
• you act in the name of a vision bigger than yourself
• you are a conscious creator and no longer a victim of the world
• you take 100% responsibility for every event in your life
• you act in a state of presence, without judgment and with an open heart

In short, inner Alchemy is that deep and rewarding process that leads you to be a leader on all fronts.

As within, so without.

Internally, your Soul becomes the leader of its biological machine.

Outwardly, you become a leader in your everyday reality - and as a result you are given increasingly greater trials and rewards, worthy of your new state of consciousness.

External reality is forced to reflect your inner changes.

It’s the highest ROI activity.

I'm currently accepting 2 new clients each month for 1:1 coaching, and the spots to start in August are still open.

If you're ready to get started, you can book a free discovery call from the Modern Alchemy website or directly from here.

May the fire blaze.
