Alchemy of Self | 1' - 10' Deep Dives

"Alchemy of Self" is a transformative process of personal growth, akin to how alchemists sought to turn base metals into gold. In a metaphorical sense, it refers to refining the human spirit, mind, and potential through self-discovery, learning, spiritual or psychological evolution, and/or working directly with a Teacher. In this series, famous and little-known texts about money, mind, and spirit are transformed into AI-based conversations that lead (you) the listener on your own inquiry. Listen carefully, let questions arise, and engage what you hear - now.

    This text is an excerpt from Albert Low's commentary on Zen Master Hakuin's "Four Ways of Knowing of an Awakened Person," exploring the concept of kensho, or enlightenment.

The core of the excerpt focuses on Hakuin's four wisdoms—Great Perfect Mirror,  Equality, Differentiation, and Perfection of Action—and how they're achieved through rigorous practice, even after initial enlightenment. Low contrasts Hakuin's Rinzai Zen emphasis on awakening with other approaches, highlighting the importance of continued practice for complete realization. The text includes biographical details about Hakuin and Low and discusses the role of koan study in the process.

    8' - Crack in the Cosmic Egg

    Joseph Chilton Pearce's The Crack in the Cosmic Egg explores the interplay between mind and reality, arguing that our perception of reality is shaped by cultural and personal factors. Pearce proposes that "autistic thinking," a non-logical mode of thought, is key to creativity and accessing altered states of consciousness. The book examines various examples, including religious experiences, scientific discoveries, and hypnotic trances, to illustrate how passionate belief and commitment can shape reality. Pearce contrasts the approaches of don Juan (emphasizing individual experience) and Jesus (focusing on shared consensus), both offering paths to transcend ordinary reality. The book ultimately suggests that we can consciously shape our experience by understanding and utilizing the creative potential of the mind.
