Symbols of ALchemy & The Process of Transformation
Alchemy, long .
Symbols are a language that can help us understand our past ... So, how do we sift truth from belief? How do we write our own histories personally or culturally? And thereby define ourselves. How do we penetrate years, centuries of historical distortion to find Original Truth? - The Da Vinci Code

It's best to have failure happen early in life. It wakes up the Phoenix bird in you so you rise from the ashes. - Anne Baxter
THE PELICAN. This bird has a great love for its young; and when it finds them in its nest dead from a serpent's bite, it pierces itself to the heart, and with its blood it bathes them till they return to life. – da vinci
The salamander, which renews its scaly skin in the fire -- for virtue (key 11). – da vinci

Critical Tasks
~ To change a rock into a jewel, you must change its true name. It can be done, but it should not be done, not even to a single grain of sand {care to count those} until you know the good and evil that will follow. Things are as they ar for a re:son. At the very least you must understand that reason before you decide to change (key 13) them.
~ That's fine, but I still want to learn how to do it.
~ I'm sure you do, but you will not learn it here. Not until you learn ... true wisdom.
