Summary: Avery Hopkins has been a dedicated researcher and practitioner of alchemy for well over a decade. Hopkins' work has culminated in Kymia Arts, a purveyor of fine alchemical elixirs, metallic oils and animal essences with a potential for astounding health benefits in body, mind and soul. Come with me as we find out: • What is alchemy, and how did he get into it? • The place for love and fear. • His definition of 'now'. • How have his experiences affected who he is? Also, Avery will share with us: • Don Juan's Four Enemies Of Man. • His definition of identity. • His philosophy of soul, spirit and body. • Myths about alchemy. Avery has a remarkable bank of knowledge to share with us, and his enthusiasm shines through in this podcast: "Consciousness is an infinite thing with infinite potential!" "I have met very few people that actually want to know the truth - because it's a lot easier to stay here asleep in the dream than it is to take responsibility for your experience." "Time does not come into play until the mind exists, and the mind only exists when you become aware of it." "I spent 15 years and I could not just prove this thing!" Alchemy is alive and real in the modern world and Avery has brought back his discoveries to share with the world at large through his brand Kymia Arts. The site is a wonderful library of alchemical wisdom featuring volumes of free material on the Alchemical Arts written by Hopkins himself.
