The Science of Alchemy

Saint Germain is known in heaven as the master alchemist. He teaches the science of alchemy in his book Saint Germain On Alchemy. He uses the amethyst—the stone of the alchemist, the stone of the Aquarian age and the violet flame.

Alchemy is the “all-chemistry of God,” which shows how each facet of creation is brought into manifestation in the material world. It deals with consciously controlling transmutations in matter and energy so that man becomes a co-creator with God.

Alchemy is the science that enables us to access the universal light that is our true heritage. We are intended to have the fullness of the abundant life that Jesus came to vouchsafe to us to remind us of our ancient heritage in past golden ages.

Jesus demonstrated this science with the miracle at the marriage of Cana, when he changed the water into wine. Saint Germain similarly demonstrated his mastery of alchemy when as le Comte de Saint Germain in the courts of Europe, he removed the flaws from diamonds.

The ancient alchemists sought the ability to change base metals into gold, as well as a universal cure for disease (the “panacea”) and a means to indefinitely prolong life (the “elixir of life”). Today the law of transcendence and the spiritual science of alchemy relate to the higher ability to change the base elements of human nature into the gold of the Christ, the divine Reality. For Saint Germain, the highest alchemy is the science of self-transformation, which leads to the precipitation of the Christ consciousness.

Saint Germain has given us the gift of the violet flame to assist us in our personal alchemy and for the transmutation of personal and planetary karma. 

Nine Steps to Precipitation

In his book Saint Germain On Alchemy, the master gives an alchemical formula for the precipitation of substance in this plane. This formula is outlined in nine steps:

1. Light is the alchemical key. The words “Let there be light,” are the first fiat of creation and the first step in the proper precipitation.
2. Create a mind blueprint of the object you wish to produce. This should incorporate definite size, proportion, substance, density, color and quality in detailed picture form.
3. Determine where in time and space you wish it to manifest.
4. If you know the material substance of which it is composed, memorize its atomic pattern. If you don’t know, leave all to the Divine Intelligence within your Higher Mind to register the pattern for you from the Universal Intelligence and impress it upon your memory body and your mind.
5. Call for light to take on the atomic pattern you are holding.
6. Call for the multiplication of this atomic structure until molecules of substance begin to fill the void occupying the space in which you desire the object to appear.
7. When the total outline is filled with the vibratory action of the fourth-dimensional substance representing the desired manifestation, ask for the full lowering of the atomic density into three-dimensional form and substance within the pattern established by the matrix of your mind.
8. When the visualization of the blueprint within your mind is complete, it ought to be immediately sealed with the words “It is finished!” These words are the second fiat of creation following “Let there be light!” Do not misunderstand this step and think that by sealing your plan, you are closing the door to the improvement of its design. Improvements can be made in subsequent models. Unless you release the blueprint to the elementals and builders of form as a finished work, they cannot properly bring it into manifestation.
9. Protect your creative intent and as Jesus said, “Go and tell no man.” Don’t allow other minds to impinge upon your experiment. This law of precipitation allows you to circumvent concentrated beams of human thought and feeling patterns that can be most disturbing to a successful alchemical experiment. Avoid, then, the dissipation of energy by the intrusion of a multiplicity of minds, except where two or more individuals are specifically cooperating in a joint precipitation.

Await results. Do not be tense if your manifestation is not immediate or if after a reasonable length of time it appears that results are not forthcoming. Despair destroys the very faith upon which your experiment is built. If you have spent years in the grip of human emotions, these records must be consumed by alchemical fires to make way for these nobler ideas and forms that you would image forth. To your new ideas you must give your time and your energy. You begin to weave a web, by violet flame, of fruition dedicated to spirituality, to the spiritualization of the material consciousness, and to the materialization of heavenly concepts right here on earth where the kingdom of God must come into manifestation.[23]
