Review: All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
As concerns the practice of alchemy this statement is important,
is it not? Could someone please explain how this statement is satanic? Should I spin the record backwards in order to reveal the hidden satanic message?
I've not yet progressed far into the book, yet have already found a few items to object to, such as, the phrasing of the word alchemy as "all-chemistry", the root of the word doesn't bear this out, which is < OF < Med.L < Ar. al-kimiya, < LGk. chymeia < Gk. chyma [meaning] "molten metal". And yet, perhaps this is a relevant conotation.
My main concern occurs on page 25, "In my historical experiences preceding my ascension-which was identical in its raising action to the elevation of Jesus the Christ-...", this bothers me far more than the possibilty that the Beatles might be satanic.
Also the Beatles being called satanic bothers me, though I'm not a Beatles "fanatic", let us not forget the Sin of the Holy Ghost, which concerns due deliberation before pronouncing something as evil.
This book should probably be read after reading something such as Denise Hauck's "The Emerald Tablet-Alchemy for Personal Transformation".

Review: Be there nothing so fair as this propspect by which I may in the recesses of the night transform this vessel from the appearance of a man to that of a night bird! O, that I might prey on mine enemies and smite them unseen. O, that I should amass jewels and treasure, all for the fiefdom which the prince of the East most unjustly has assumed and made his lesser bailliwick, my father not being in the spirit of discerning judgment when last he drew breath. Would that this scribe had so enabled me, for a mere part is not enough.

Summary: Mismatched Title --- Nothing Much about Alchemy
Review: If you want to know what alchemy is all about, I think you can gather more from the Internet than from this book.If I could, I would give zero stars for this book. Serious doubts that the spirit channelled was St Germain. Don't waste your time and money on this book.

Summary: The Definitive Guide for creating true alchemical change.
Review: It is understandable if someone is looking for "alchemy" they may be disappointed with this book. This book is not about the procedure of creating physical changes (ex: base metals into gold). When I first read this book I too was looking for documented precipitation formulas. But as I read it again I found that the spiritual jewels of creating true alchemical change (yes even over the physical) far exceeded my original expectations. This book contains the methods to change the "base metals" of our human "ego-based" self into our real free self.

Summary: Response to "Are you pulling my leg"
Review: M stated: "This book actually states that the Beatles have Satanic origins. Page 173. After reading that page I had to put the book down I was laughing so hard." Here is the complete paragraph on page 173:
"The destructive energies which poured through the Beatles and entered the subconscious minds of the youth... are gradually working their way to the surface, revealing their true colors and Satanic Origins" Now here is what was left out:
"These unholy emanations have drawn many young souls into the mistaken belief that the taking of drugs... and illicit sex can give them freedom from all imposed limitations..." Making a connection between drug abuse, illicit sex and rock music does not seem to me to be such a funny joke or such a far-fetched idea. I get more out of this book each time I read it. Thanks M for getting me to reread that part!

Summary: Clear and direct
Review: The book is definately NOT for beginners. You must have a simple and clear understanding of who We are and where We are going on Our path to ascension. Must be ready to be accountable for actions when exercising the alchemy described in this book. If your intentions are pure, the teachings will bring you great results. A great resource book.

Summary: Avoid this book
Review: This book does no favors to either the sacred science or the name of the Comte Saint-Germain. A woolly, ill-organised book with virtually no real content.

Summary: Are You Pulling My Leg?
Review: This book has nothing to do with Alchemy. In fact, this book has nothing to do with Saint Germain. It was written by Mr. or Mrs. Prophet (it isn't clear which one) who believes that he or she is channeling the spirit of Saint Germain on the subject of self transformation. This book actually states that the Beatles have Satanic origins. Page 173. After reading that page I had to put the book down I was laughing so hard.

Summary: A disappointment
Review: This book is not for me, but I can't justify saying that it's not for everyone. I will conclude, however, that only hardcore Christians will be able to practice this system and not feel foolish due to the outdated and ridiculous philosophies. The majority of this book deals with handing your life over to God, letting God take over your Self and allowing his divine Will to operate through you.
I personally am not interested in giving up my sovereignty regarding my ability to reason and make my own choices. But, if you are, this book might just be for you.
Also, just as a sidenote, this book has absolutely nothing at all to do with traditional Alchemy. True Alchemists need not concern themselves with the teachings of Mr and Mrs Prophet...er, I mean, "St Germain."
