Kindle Notes & Highlights
We start out our journey as humans full of ego and individual concern. Over time, and possibly over many lifetimes, we eventually ripen and mature into a being of higher nature. This is Alchemy.
Those of us who seem good have simply matured more. Those of us who seem bad are simply not yet ripened. We all make this journey, so there is no room for judgment or feeling superior.
If you knew that you were divine and would go on after death, what could possibly shake your peace of mind? If you knew without a doubt that you were safe, what could possible make you fret? Money? Illness? Social status? These things are as nothing once you see the truth, says Hermes. What now could possibly upset you?
