We specialize at the intersection between spiritual experience and depth psychology, providing works to assist you on your journey back to your Self.

Our main focus is the instinct for higher personal development.

We believe that this drive is the central pivot around which all other instincts turn. It can also be seen as the main motivating factor in higher human behavior and it informs and colors the development of the world's religious and philosophical systems.

The transformation process is the central tenet of, for example, both Christianity and alchemy. It is a little known fact that some of the most influential theologians such as St. Thomas Aquinas as well as other intellectuals such as Sir Isaac Newton and Leonardo da Vinci were practicing alchemists.

There are 27 references in the New Testament alone to the mystery element of Christianity. Despite this firm attestation from the texts themselves, the esoteric level of Christianity has been largely ignored and sometimes actively discouraged by the church. This bias has been to the detriment of the spiritual growth of the church at both an individual and collective level.

The history of alchemy is intimately tied to that of chemistry and many conventional scientific terms and operations came from the art. In the current context, however, the focus is specifically on the psychological processes which are represented by the material symbols. There is no attempt here to turn lead into gold but, rather, it is a road map for self-realization and transformation. This is also called salvation, wholeness or enlightenment.

Our writing brings the most comprehensive explanation on the intimate connection between the symbolism of alchemy and Christianity to date. It also brings the psychological component into both systems with the advantage of the latest revolutionary findings in comparative neurology which are currently rewriting the entire history of pre-21st century clinical psychology into a new paradigm.

As an arcane art alchemy evolved in secret and there was never a uniform exposition from the various schools that had a hand in its development. Much of this confusion was a deliberate strategy on behalf of the adepts to keep the mystery element intact. Our works provide modern renderings of some of the classic symbols and principles into a unique working model for use by the contemporary magickal practitioner. No apology is given if the system appears pared down when compared to the highly elaborate schema formerly presented. The important thing to bear in mind is that it works.

That our works focus on the psychological elements of the transformation process does not mean that the entire project is reduced to a merely biological or neurological level nor that there is no room for the individual's Soul. The word 'psychology' comes from the Greek psyche which means not only mind but also life energy or Soul. It is with this depth that the word is used here.

It is typical Western dualism to separate spirit and matter or mind and body but this is a mistake. The Soul is the meeting place of the universal spirit with the material plane. The physical aspects of human being stand together with the deeper, spiritual features of our nature and they are treated here as being inter-connected. The spiritual dimension is not brought down to the level of reductionist clinical science: The boundaries of psychology have been elevated to include many of the most profound transpersonal experiences.

This can be seen as establishing a material basis within which the non-material element can be nourished and therefore flourish. A question mark is left over many of the transpersonal dynamics of the process and it is left up to the individual seeker to find their own answer.
