Transmutation Quotes

“Transmutation:

• Grapes must be
crushed to make wine

• Diamonds form
under pressure

• Olives are pressed to
release oil

• Seeds grow in
darkness

Whenever you feel crushed, under pressure, pressed, or in darkness, you’re in a powerful place of transformation/transmutation.”
― Lalah Delia

“Don’t hide your hurt, beautiful soul. Grab a hold of it. Run it through the purifying flame of your heart and mold it into something beautiful. Allow the depths of your pain to expand the breadth of your compassion. Gather up your stumbling stones and build a bridge for someone else. Remember what it’s like to be lost in darkness so you can be someone else’s much needed light. Don’t deny your pain or bury it away. Let it rise to the surface. And then transform it into something that makes it worthwhile.”
― Cristen Rodgers

“All people want to belong to some sort of hierarchy. Allow me to explain. The rich want to be the richest; the poor want to be the smartest; those who are both rich and smart want to be the better persons; the better persons want to go to heaven; those who are in heaven will look down upon those who are in hell... there is always some kind of hierarchy desired by everyone; even by those who claim the opposite of this. So how do you find true divinity? Divinity is found in those who reach down low; because it is those who are above who must reach down low, while it is those who are below who must constantly reach for what is above! And this is divinity. What is divine, is what will have a curiosity in what is below. There is no fear of becoming "tainted"; because what is lesser can never really taint what is greater. it is what is greater that is able to transform what is lesser. The alchemist must first find the mud, pick it up, before she is able to transform it into diamond. She must first reach into the swamp, in order to pull out roses.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“Unleash in the right time and place before you explode at the wrong time and
place.”
― Oli Anderson, Personal Revolutions: A Short Course in Realness

“Lazarus,” he says, his face fierce, “nothing actually goes. It transforms, but transmutation isn’t actually lost or gone at all. You were you before you had a body, and you will still be you when you no longer have one. A caterpillar might become a butterfly—and a human might become a spirit—but it is still the same essence. It has simply been transformed.”
― Laura Thalassa, Death

“There’s no matter here you can’t re-matter into love.”
― Laurie Perez, The Look of Amie Martine

― Théun Mares, Cry of the Eagle: The Toltec Teachings Volume 2

“Fire, after all, does not consume. It transmutes.”

“The celibate must firmly keep himself in Brahma Charya (i.e. chastity) until his wife arrives, he has to firmly establish himself in Brahma Charya and it is not possible to remain in Brahma Charya if we do not know how to transmute the sexual energy.”
― Samael Aun Weor

“The brain's transmutation begins when consciousness understands that it made everything up – morality, good and bad, redemption and the truth. With this understanding, it realizes that now it can start anew.”
― Shai Tubali, The Mystical Enlightenment Of Friedrich Nietzsche: On the death of God and the God within

“Each cell within its atom is a raw, formless idea that exists beyond mortality. It is the wild state constantly creating your world, the one word in a collective equation that is you becoming written from nothing into something — and so it knows, ultimately, annihilation is an essential instrument of becoming new to all that can be known.”
― Laurie Perez, The Power of Amie Martine

“FOR ADVANCED EVOLUTIONARY GROWTH PASSION MUST BE CONQUERED AND THE GENERATIVE ORGANS BE USED FOR GENERATION ONLY. In other words: all the sex force not actually used for the perpetuation of the species must by transmutation be made available for higher evolutionary attainment.”
― C.J. van Vliet, The Coiled Serpent: A Philosophy Of Conservation And Transmutation Of Reproductive Energy

“The real jewel of my disease-ridden woodlot is the prothonotary warbler. He nests in an old woodpecker hole, or other small cavity, in a dead snag overhanging water. The flash of his gold-and-blue plumage amid the dank decay of the June woods is in itself proof that dead trees are transmuted into living animals, and vice versa. When you doubt the wisdom of this arrangement, take a look at the prothonotary.”
― Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac

“You can completely transform your life by transmuting your martian energy.”
― Robin S. Baker

“Forgiveness is difficult to create in a world of cyclical cruelty. Transmutation is ideal as it creates equilibrium. Transmute all offending connections to people who have labeled you as inferior. Let go. See yourself as a person of great worth. Above all, love yourself.”
― Deborah Bravandt

“When you open the floodgates to love, you gently, compassionately, and powerfully transmute everything based in fear into love.”
― Kris Franken, The Call of Intuition: How to Recognize & Honor Your Intuition, Instinct & Insight

“That which infuses the human soul with love
also transforms dragons into ants.”
― Attar, translated by Sholeh Wolpe

“You are the magician with alchemical powers and this comes with the ability to control, transmute, and maneuver elements. Basically what I'm conveying is that you are the master over your anger, your life, the way you go about these goals with your emotions, and what you create with them.”
― Robin S. Baker, Esotericism With an Unconventional Soul: Exploring Philosophy, Spirituality, Science, and Mysticism

“The universe is cyclical, with a process of creation, preservation, and destruction. If we consider the cycles of birth and death, we can see that this process of creation and destruction is the very pulse of the way the universe functions”
― Leo Lourdes, A World of Yoga: 700 Asanas for Mindfulness and Well-Being

“Do something kind for another person. Proceeding with this selfless gesture, while not feeling at your best, shows that you are in control of your emotions. It is not the other way around.”
― Robin S. Baker, Esotericism With an Unconventional Soul: Exploring Philosophy, Spirituality, Science, and Mysticism

“Anger is a means to achieve a goal. When I first read this sentence, it hit me like a ton of bricks. But at the same time, I felt that it went hand-in-hand with an idea I've grown to realize about anger. I've recognized that it is an emotion that can be utilized and transmuted into alchemy.”

“The Spirit reveals itself to us all the time, at every turn, but we choose to look away from it and only see the mundane because deep down no matter how much we say otherwise, most of us cannot at the core of us truly believe that there is something beyond the physical.”
― John Kreiter, The Art of Transmutation

“Transmutation happens through a process of inner action. Transmutation is the key principle that unlocks a door, and as you will discover in time, it is the unlocking of this door that will break the bonds of the trap that you are currently in. The way of inner alchemy is basically a way to escape that trap.”
― John Kreiter, The Art of Transmutation

“Gareth remembers too the time he tried to explain to her about dandelions, which she loved—perhaps because of the magic of their changing too. Her love for things which weren't what you thought they were. She loved to play with dandelion clocks ever since hi mother had shown her how to tell the time with them, this spurious decision as to time complying with Emmy's way of seeing the world.

She had spent a long time picking dandelion flowers one day and they were proudly laid out on her bedroom floor. When they hadn't changed to clocks by the next morning she thought perhaps it was because she kept peeking and magic only happened when you didn't look. Gareth tried to explain that they had to be alive to turn to clocks. 'But they are dead when they are clocks,' she said. 'Well, they've changed' he tried to say. 'They have to be alive to change. The flower has to die to change into seed. They die to make more dandelions.' One dandelion dying makes a thousand new flowers. 'People don't do that, do they?' she said. 'No,' said Gareth. 'People don't do that.”
― Cynan Jones, The Long Dry

“When we understand energy clearly, we'll know how our actions or inactions affect the larger flow of events. We become regenerative and resilient when others are too vulnerable to withstand. This skillfully clears the air of general tension, denial, or game-playing. By doing so, we can clear the collective conscience, help to break old patterns and make a difference in the larger flow of events.”
― Shreya Mandal

“It’s possible to become so “real,” so energetically sovereign, so full of power and magic that we can grow wings—figuratively anyway—and fly this chicken coop.

In other words, we can leave this delusional world (and the World Cult that sustains it) flapping in the breeze while exiting as increasingly self-realized beings.

Few will even attempt this feat of alchemical transmutation, I realize. But at the very least, we can get real in our understanding—or better, innerstanding—as we begin to collect the scattered fragments of ourselves we’ve left behind in our unconsciousness.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“History is a sad testament to the limitations of external change, or changing things from the outside.

A dime a dozen and almost invariably overrated in hindsight, countless revolutions, insurgencies, wars, conflicts, struggles and social movements have stubbornly—and blindly—sought to create a better world.

Yet true, lasting transformation remains elusive at the groupthink level. We grapple with the same issues, generation after generation, in this hamster wheel called ‘reality.’ Why is external change so damn challenging?

Because, I contend, to echo Henry David Thoreau’s celebrated quote about the branches and roots of evil, pursuing external change only addresses symptoms, not the deeper cause.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“As we become more energetically empowered, we transmute into living embodiments of the world we wish to see—radiating our signature creative passions into the fabric of existence ... and inviting a new and better expression of that fabric in the here and now.”
― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“Anger is better than apathy. Self-directed anger is self-abuse. Transmutation is the key, and if you are mindful, you will be able to move through these phases of pain even faster.”
― Calvin Niles, The Sun Rises in Eastmoor
