At first glance, as you progress through this article, things may seem dire. It’s easy to fall prey to the idea that we may be moving closer and closer to a dystopian future. But the reality is that every single one of you is a conscious individual, and contrary to what some ‘influencers’ might say, people are not lazy or powerless. When it comes to those things that are truly important to you, and being that those things that are important to you come from a deep inner lig...
Occult
I thought for this article, that I would take you on a little thought experiment combining some of the more orthodox beliefs in science, particularly mathematics, and combining them with philosophy and inner alchemy.
In particular, I would like to discuss the interesting news that mathematicians are saying that two different types of infinity have been discovered. This is highly interesting to me as an inner alchemist, a logician, and a philosopher.
Now, the inner alchemist and the logic...
In recent decades, the landscape of human perception and collective reality has undergone a profound transformation. The advent of global communications, particularly the internet and mobile technology, has ushered in an era where individuals can observe and participate in the unfolding of not just their personal realities, but the shared reality of the entire world.
This interconnectedness has reached unprecedented levels with the proliferation of smartphones and social media platforms li...
I originally planned to add this article to my Arcane Archives section. But I think that it is such a relevant article, especially in these times where there are so many people feeling powerless, that I decided instead to add it to my main blog section so that more people are able to see it.
In a world that often feels tame and predictable, the allure of the werewolf continues to captivate our imagination. These legendary creatures, far from being mere monsters, represent a profound con...
Artificial Intelligende and Magic?
I would like to offer my insights on how artificial intelligence intersects with the journey of spiritual growth, especially when viewed through the principles of inner alchemy. We are on the brink of a transformative era where AI plays an increasingly dominant role in our lives. As we navigate this new landscape, it is vital to recognize both the opportunities and the profound challenges that these technologies present. This awareness is crucial to preve...
It’s believed by many that Artificial Intelligence will take over the human world and either enslave us or bring about our demise.
And I’d like to assure all doomers out there that I’m not dismissing this possible outcome from consideration. However, I’d like to propose a different scenario based on a potential future that incorporates some findings of inner alchemy combined with the hope that, according to those same findings by inner alchemy, we will be able to be...
I was honored to receive an invitation from James, the esteemed curator of the Perseus Arcane Academy site, to participate in a unique and innovative text-based interview. As someone who is generally extremely reserved when it comes to media appearances, I was intrigued by his vision for a completely digital conversation.
As I delved into the academy’s website, I was delighted to discover the impressive caliber of work being showcased. The comprehensive resources on energy work, magi...
There are many ways to understand and deal with the constrictions that are a part of this life. I have often referred to this constricting force as gravity or as an aspect of a greater force I refer to as the Archon. While those are helpful terms in understanding those constrictions from the point of view of the current that I follow, there are many ways to interpret this constriction of self that are part of our present reality.In the hopes of giving you a better understanding of these cage...
Question:
At last, here we are. I’ve been grappling with this issue for several years now, and yet a solution has continued to elude me. You mentioned that you used a PRNG (Pseudo-Random Number Generator) for this psychic quiz. But that’s where the real issue lies! Why opt for a PRNG instead of a TRNG (True Random Number Generator), like a quantum-based one? The thing is, a PRNG doesn’t generate truly random numbers. A computer can’t be programmed to act randomly because ...
Welcome to my interactive Zener card test, inspired by the important ESP research conducted by J.B. Rhine in the 1930s.

Question:
Hi John…Without wanting to talk too much about dogmas or beliefs, I am currently struggling with a question about manifestation: Let’s say the dark sea itself is a neutral field and the Archon gives our reality a default programming that is negative (or “evil”), is there in your opinion also a counterpart, let’s call it a divine force, that guides us through these lifetimes? Because I strongly believe in the manifestation powers we have, but I am not sure anymore where my intenti...
Question:
A quote from your article, The Nature of good and evil: “While action that is not immaculate, to whatever degree, is perceived by the outer senses as generally evil, heavy, controlling, fearful, deceptive, or morose. In simple terms, immaculate action allows; it gives the freedom that one desires, equally to all others. While other forms of inner action that, from an inner alchemy perspective, are not immaculate, try instead to control and cheat people.”
Does this apply to serv...
The truth is that we all love stability, all of us.
Our greatest source of stability is our routines, our ability to create a stable habit that gives us a sense of control and consistency. We will do anything to get it, even ignore certain things just so our picture of reality remains static and stable. But the world is always throwing curve balls at us.
It may be just me, but it seems that even the rational skeptic, who appears to have conditioned themselves best to ignore every odd thi...
In presenting the way of inner alchemy, I must always be very careful to follow a very specific line of action that is guided by definitive energetic currents. Metaphorically speaking, we could say that it’s like being a sailor or navigator: I must follow the flow of the ocean and the wind created by it, always ensuring that I stay on course, which pertains to freedom, good will, and honesty.
The currents are all around us now; they flow, churn, and turn, creating a wind that howls and...
The world is changing fast.
What an odd statement that seems to me as I write this. But the energetic truth, as I perceive it, is that it is indeed changing, and that rate of change is increasing. I call that increasing ‘the quickening’, and I have spoken of other factors that are related to this quickening, such as the increasing human population.
But the world is always changing, contrary to some popular opinion – that’s not something new. Moreover, getting to the f...
Belief and faith can move mountains, but they can also cause natural disasters. I always wonder how much certain individuals think about this. I mean, all those people who believe or are at least willing to try to begin believing that thoughts have power and that certain intentions, especially if they are held unyielding over time, can change reality, can alter the objective reality all around us.
For those who are willing to believe, do they realize that this means that everything in the ob...
Do things repeat themselves? Does the world feel like an ever-turning merry- go-round that seems to be going in circles? Most people in the modern world believe in linear time. They think there is a past they can look back at and remember, as well as a future they can look forward to and try to predict but never fully know until it finally arrives. We are often told that we are evolving, that things are changing, and indeed there does seem to be increasing change and modernization, at least ...
Introduction:
Embarking on a spiritual journey can be like hopping on a rollercoaster – an exhilarating adventure that’s full of twists and turns, unpredictable moments of joy and excitement, and sometimes downright terrifying drops into the unknown. As you begin this winding path, you may find yourself oscillating between feelings of euphoria and despondency, as if you’re taking two steps forward and one step back on your quest for enlightenment.
But don’t be foo...

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s all too easy to feel lost in the noise of societal expectations and the constant pressure to conform. For those seeking personal growth and self-discovery, this feeling can be especially pronounced. Yet, what if the answer doesn’t lie in the external world of shared experiences and societal involvement, but within the depths of our own being?
This is the concept of inner alchemy, a practice steeped in the traditions of alchemy and perso...
This is my response to a question that someone asked. I found the question so interesting that I decided to post it as a new article. It’s not my hope to offend any religiously minded people, as I do not question the validity of such beliefs. Rather, it is my hope to provide an inner alchemist’s perspective on the ever-developing expanse within us, and how we try to come to terms with it.
The question is as follows:
