    Alchemy is a definite process of transformation. An Alchemist then, is someone who has mastered the art and science of transformation.
    At a gross level, alchemy is illustrated by the transformation of low grade, heavy and gross metals, like lead, into a metal of highest vibration and import, gold.
    At a spiritual or human level, alchemy is the process through which a human will endure the wrenching process of; calcination, dissolution, separation, and the intense heat, pressure and darkness of conjunction, fermentation, and finally the coming back into light and life of; distillation and coagulation.
    Alchemy then, is the divine process of transformation of a human being into their divine emanation here on earth. It is a profound process.
    It is why Santiago was raised up with his dreams, and then humbled several times as his old self and beliefs were burnt out of him, until finally, he is brought back anew, to see and experience the world in all of its divine grace and beauty. That's why he is an Alchemist.

    My favorite line from this book comes when he's returned to Spain and is speaking with God and says he could have gone without being beaten in front of the pyramids. And the wind simply replies, then you would have never seen the pyramids.

    Great book review! You just brought me back to the time when I listened to this book. One of my favorite novels. It helped me to decide to pursue my dreams instead of material things or people (girlfriend). Then, the universe provided me with all I needed to keep moving forward; things and people.
    I LOVE the moral of the story “we give up on our dreams too easily, yet the universe is always ready to help us fulfill them”. Great job, my friend!

    Thank you. Just finished the book. I thought i might misunderstand something so came here. For me that man who beat him is the answer to his dream(getting the treasure). Like in real life we might be hurt, tired and rejected, but if we stand for our dreams, we can possibly reach them!

    I just finished this book today and searched for some illustrations and found yours. 💕 I had the same expression for this book like you, it doesn't make you feel sleepy because it really makes you hooked and excited for what will happen next. To be honest, I haven't read a novel for years cos' I'm busy studying. But I just felt like I want to learn something new and I found the perfect book 💕 I love it!!
    PS. Can you recommend other good novels? Thank you.

    I thought you did a great job unpacking the complexities, a love story, and life simplicities captured within The Alchemist. I appreciated your approach to give your personal encounter with the book, intentional illustrations, and deliverance of a step-by-step approach to summarize the dreams, goals, and ideas buried within the pages. Well done. Well done! Peace be with you.

    The Alchemist doesn't deserve that much the hype and the publicity that it has taken, I would recommend another book 'la Prophecie des Andes' french for 'the Celestine Prophecy', a visionary and mystic Tale marrying emotional intelligence , mental health, & evolutionnary science , that's much deeper and really life changing on its own way.

      Hi Jakob, I swear by the book and have used it a lot in my life experience. Even if you cant use it for your benefit the fiction read is very enjoyable. I have yet to come across a book like the alchemist that is so mystical and magical for adult readers :).

    • @evolutionconsciousness8937
      @evolutionconsciousness8937 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That's actually the best part, Jakob - it seems that a 20 year-old knows more about life than "adults". Kinda makes you wonder how you measure "life experience" - by years of being physically present on Earth or by amounts of things you've actually "experienced" in life :)
