By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow Us on: Facebook and Instagram \u201cThe Daoist masters believed we are like gold, all of us. Our spirits can never be tarnished or disintegrate like other base metals.\u201d   \u201cThere\u2019s more to life than your past suffering. Letting go of the past is your freedom.\u201d   \u201cBe the change you want to see in the world.\u201d \u2013 Gandhi   In this podcast, we talked about: Our Curriculum Our Curriculum\u2013Something we want to explore and understand better. It\u2019s like an assignment we gave to ourselves before we are born. Your Five Elements are key to understanding your curriculum. Once you fulfill that curriculum, you can move on and do something else. Your curriculum is a laid out plan of learning. This is what you\u2019re going to learn in this lifetime. Until you get that lesson that you came to learn, you\u2019ll continue to work on it for the rest of your life. It\u2019s important to understand what your curriculum is. The Nine Palaces Nine Palaces\u2013the next level of understanding yourself and your struggles in particular. All human beings have to attend to their Nine Palaces or they suffer. The cause of suffering is imbalance in their Nine Palaces. The Nine Palaces are: Career Love\/Relationship Health Wealth\/Abundance Home Travel\/Adventure Children\/Creativity Wisdom Prosperity Each of the Nine Palaces corresponds to one of the Five Elements. Wood \u2013 wealth and health Fire \u2013 relationship and prosperity Earth \u2013 home Metal \u2013 travel and creativity Water \u2013 career and wisdom If you do complete your curriculum, then you become a Realized Human being\u2013an authentic being or a Zhen Ren. You don\u2019t have to die. You have some new lessons to learn. You become an alchemist. Alchemy The Alchemists in China were the sages of antiquity who were trying to achieve longevity and especially immortality. The Eight Immortals were believed to be able to live forever. Alchemy is the exploration of the mystery of gold. If you bury gold in the ground and dig it up later, it doesn\u2019t corrode like other metals. It comes out looking just as beautiful as the day you buried it. You are perfect like gold. Alchemy is about freedom and living authentically. Immortality We like to think we\u2019re going to live a lot longer than we think. Having that mindset of having a longer life completely reframes everything. We don\u2019t need to grow old, decrepit, and die. Breaking down is not a necessary requirement to being old. You can grow old, be well, have a good body, a strong mind, and a good spirit. Alchemy is a journey of one. The average person isn\u2019t interested in transformation. The average person wants no change. Diamonds do not evolve. They lock you into that state. \u201cDiamonds are forever\u201d means, \u201cI love you just the way you are and don\u2019t change.\u201d The Matrix\u2013Neo had the choice, blue pill or red pill. He takes the red pill. If you\u2019re one of those people who would take the red pill, then you\u2019e in the right place listening to this podcast. Alchemy is recommended for: When you want to put yourself first, but life feels like it\u2019s getting in the way. Alchemy helps you put yourself first. When you want to enter the mystery of life When you feel like, \u201cIsn\u2019t there something more to life than this?\u201d When you want to really fly in your life and live your full potential Sometimes, near the end of the life, to help the dying process go well Alchemy Methods Acu-Points (acupressure or acupuncture) Meditations Stone Medicine Elixirs Qi Gong The only person you can change is yourself.
