Alchemical Wealth Builiding

The Phrase “Alchemical Wealth Building” can be parsed in two ways-‘Alchemical Wealth’ building as in the building of “Alchemical Wealth” and Alchemical ‘Wealth Building’ approaching building wealth in an Alchemical fashion. At first glance these might seem like different things however it is not possible to be an alchemical ‘wealth builder’ without first and foremost being an ‘Alchemical Wealth’ builder.

Alchemical Wealth is the treasures no thief can steal and no moths can eat. It is what you get from authentic inner alchemy- inner transformation. Wisdom, compassion, unconditional happiness, unconditional bliss, true freedom- these are examples of Alchemical Wealth.

One cannot even begin to build external wealth in an alchemical fashion until one at least intellectually understands that no kind of external wealth (be it money and that which it buys, relationships, achievements, “power”, recognition or even health) can actually be a source of true happiness. To the degree that ones aim at building wealth is based on the mistaken belief that it is a source of happiness and satisfaction then to the same degree ones aim diverges from Alchemical Wealth Building

To an Alchemical Wealth Builder the only reasons to build outer wealth are to support ones inner transformation and to benefit others.

Put in terms of the two divisions of Global Alchemy - Alchemical Wealth building is wealth building that is in accord with the Principle of the Core Intention and thus entirely motivated by and directed towards personal and global transformation. From the outside it can look like any mundane approach to wealth building (though often it won’t) but it has several distinctions internally

1. The motivation and aim of Alchemical Wealth Building is personal and global transformation
   1. This flows from the understanding and eventually realization of the truth that happiness and satisfaction are an internal affair
2. Alchemical Wealth Building approaches the process of building wealth such that the activities of external wealth building increase rather then deplete “Inner” Wealth
3. The core of the Alchemical Wealth building strategies for building external wealth is the building of Alchemical and Internal wealth
4. Alchemical Wealth building utilizes all four quadrants of Skill Full Means
   1. Exoteric/Outer – The specific mundane mechanic of wealth building in any of the four “cash flow quadrants” as defined by Robert Kiyosaki in his Rich Dad, Poor Dad series (employment, self-employment, business building, and Investing)
   2. Exoteric/Inner– the psychology of wealth building, communication skills, leadership
   3. Esoteric/Outer – using esoteric methods to create outer results
   4. Esoteric/Inner – Building Alchemical Wealth – seeking first the Kingdom of Heaven

As an expression of the alchemical template Alchemical Wealth Building is concerned with:

• Accomplishing the two sublime aims of Absolute Freedom and inexhaustible Benefit (Another way of expressing the Principle of the Core Intention.)
• Completely integrating what ever form of wealth building one is doing with spiritual practice focused on the goal of alchemy
• Creating financial, material, and temporal resource bases to support transformational projects – included in the class of transformational projects is individual spiritual /transformational practice.
• Creating wealth building strategies and structures that are themselves transformational and empowering to every one that is effected by or involved with them..
• Pursuant to creating the temporal resource base for transformational projects, to build wealth in a way that consumes minimal amount of time from any given individual. The ideal of this is so that engagement in group transformational projects itself yields abundant wealth for those engaged in the projects and in such a way that everyone has plenty of time to devote to their foundational daily personal alchemy practice (The Global Alchemy approach to project engagement is such that the engagement is itself a form of personal alchemy, however this is dependant on the daily engagement of foundational daily alchemical practice separate from outer project engagement. The more time given on a daily basis to the foundational personal alchemy practice the more project engagement will also function as personal alchemy especially in the earlier stages of alchemical training. Also, up to a point, the more time the individuals involved with a project spend on a daily foundational personal alchemy practice the less time will be need to be devoted to the shared project)

While Alchemical Wealth Building can be applied to building any kind of wealth as part of the Alchemical Hero training for Global Alchemist it is especially focused on building financial wealth as other kinds of personal wealth are covered in other aspects of the training (inner wealth and general achievements with Visionary Heart Alchemy Fundamentals, Emotional Brilliance, and Genius Genesis; Health and Athletic achievement with Alchemical Fitness; Relationships with Alchemical Communication and Alchemical Intimacy.)

Alchemical Wealth Building is built upon all the other trainings. While it is possible to begin Alchemical Wealth Building while at beginning stages of the other trainings, as it constitutes the first major crossover from Personal Alchemy to Systems Alchemy and because of its reliance on all the other trainings it can also be considered a second stage of training

As they are concerned with overlapping areas Alchemical Business& Entrepreneurship and Alchemical Wealth Building have similar focuses of attention, However Alchemical Business&Entrepreneurship is more focused on the system itself and Alchemical Wealth Building on the individual who is using Alchemical Business& Entrepreneurship as one his/her wealth building strategies. There are other wealth building strategies but I have chosen to initially focus on business and entrepreneurship, both because it more integral with the rest of the Project Global Alchemy Bootstrap Experiment and because of the critical role Business can play in the needed Global Transformation. (see Intro to Alchemical Business&Entrepreneurship Blog for more about this critical role of business).
