time and attention. I humbly submit that the rereading of this material may further enlighten you, each
one, in the true depth of my perceptions, which are calculated to exalt those of various social and
religious strata into areas of greater usefulness to themselves, to mankind, and to God. If, when the
course is complete, I have in some measure accomplished that or augmented its possibility, I shall be
content.
Some of you may desire my personal guidance as you attempt your first alchemical precipitation. I shall
gladly assist all who will silently request my aid, providing the motive be right and the desired change
beneficial to your life plan and providing you exercise care and prayer in seeking that God's will always
be done.
Let me suggest, then, that you attempt as a first effort the precipitation of an amethyst in the form of a
Maltese cross. You see, this would be most excellent, for I have personally used alchemy to make many
experimental models. And I am most happy to add my momentum to your own!
From the simple to the complex, from the dawn of the beginning of the use of Light's ray to the noontide
zenith of progress, let all move in the byways of life as in a caravan of faith. Let each would-be
alchemist aim at the mark of achievement. You build in the eternal day right now.
I AM dedicated to your success,

Studies in Alchemy - Chapter 8
Chapter VIII
Commanding Consciousness
Now we approach with reverent hush, with the awe of sacred awareness, the great spiritual laws
governing all outer manifestation. The purposes of God become more near to each one as they become
more dear to him. Realize what folly it is to submit to the false tenets of any educational system. Yet it is
equally foolish to deny the inherent truth and the tested precepts of academic knowledge.
To know nature, know thyself; but master the art of sacred synthesis. Thereby the justice of truth shall
serve to integrate within the field of knowing that inner relativity and cosmic measurement between
nature and the Self whose precise mathematical action indicates that as God geometrizes, so man is able
systematically to perceive and demonstrate a correlated understanding of the wondrous works of God's
hands--minus the fallacious wizardry of the carnal mind.
By stripping human thought and feeling vibrations from the creative grace enfolded within each atom of
the creation, the whole substance of life gleams, purified by eternal hands. Now this is as it should be!
The grossest error, the most intense suffering--all are caused by an erroneous approach to pure reason.
Do you realize, blessed children of mankind, that few there be upon earth who would knowingly persist in
wrongdoing were they convinced with certainty that they were so engaged? It is up to the master
alchemists of the race, then, to serve God and man to the ultimate by removing every trace of malice and
ignorance from the screen of the human consciousness, commencing with each one's own personal
concepts.
Knowing how tenderly the students of this course are hanging on my every word, I am also imbued with a
sense of reverence for the service at hand. I cannot conceive of how we can do less than answer the calls
made unto us in accordance with the Great Cosmic Law.
Even an ascended being in close contact with mankind can become almost possessed with a sense of
urgency and a desire to cut the chains which hold any blessed soul in bondage! Yet it is only possible for
us to point the way and give such specific guidance and service as the Karmic Board has prescribed.
The injunction "Man, know thyself" must be applied by you to the pure truth of being and not to human
concepts of what that truth is. It is dangerous, however, to be critical of another or of his concepts; for
only the individual can apprehend, through the screen of his own being, his world and the cosmos beyond.
When you realize the meaning of interpreting life for yourself, you will see how utterly impossible it is
for you to perform this for another, inasmuch as the average person cannot successfully enter the

consciousness of another lifestream nor accurately assess his complete thought and feeling processes.
This, by the grace of God, we are able to do; and the Karmic Board, in connection with the universally
Christed Selves of all mankind, is able to mediate. We often hesitate, unless mightily appealed to, to
interfere in individual karma. Yet foolish unascended mankind often rush in to decide how an individual
ought to live or think. I trust the students of this activity will come more and more to realize how helpful
they can be to one another by holding the immaculate concept for each one's life plan and then leaving the
guidance to that one's Higher Self.
Well have I observed over the centuries how important is the service of ordered prayer. The daily
offering of petitions has saved the lives of millions, expanded the lives of other millions, and blessed all
life without limit.
Prayer opens the door of God's intervention in human affairs. It provides an avenue whereby the
Ascended Masters and cosmic beings who desire to serve the planet earth and its evolutions can walk
within the folds of universal justice and render special assistance because they have been called upon to
do so. For the law decrees that the heavenly hosts must be petitioned by some among mankind, must be
invited to intervene, before they are permitted to intercede on behalf of humanity.
After all, would men retain their free will if heaven thwarted the attainment of every inordinate desire?
Yet can those guardians of the race who perceive the error of mankind's actions fail to invoke on behalf of
their misguided brethren assistance from the higher intelligence of God to cut life free from the
crystallized effects of their erroneous concepts?
To the alchemist the value of prayer is manifold. In addition to the aforesaid benefits, it provides an
impetus to enhance his values and further the goal of divine truth while the mental mold is in the process
of coming into physical manifestation.
The call of beloved Jesus at the hour of his greatest testing, "Nevertheless not my will, but thine, be
done!" teaches a more advanced law of alchemy. When spoken by the alchemist at the moment of the
sealing of the matrix, this call ensures that the guiding forces of power, wisdom, and love will amend the
precipitated pattern where necessary in order that the more perfect designs of the Creator may come forth
in the world of form.
This places the whole process of precipitation within the forcefield of eternal perceptions and provides
