In the same way, spiritual alchemy entails facing challenges to refine one’s character. The glimmering gold has to undergo several extensive steps to let go off its impurities. It is about refining oneself to perfection by undergoing painful transformation. Purification is the core aspect of alchemy. Both chemical and spiritual alchemy used the same symbols.

Spiritual alchemy is about letting go of one’s redundant qualities. The truth about the soul, cosmos, and nature. It delves in the path of uncovering the truth.

Spiritual alchemy is all about discovering oneself. Chemical scientists chose to focus only on the physical one. As the years went by, the two became exclusive of each other. While now, we see spiritual and chemical alchemy as different. The process requires one to practice spiritual alchemy as well.

In the past, alchemy attracted people from all walks of lives: The goal of spiritual alchemy is to attract spiritual and physical abundance in one’s life. But, it has more to do with the inner transformation.
