Questions for
An
Alchemist:
By Robert Bruce Baird:
INSPIRATIONAL COMMENTS:
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age. - H. P. Lovecraft
“Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause; everything happens according to Law; Chance is but a name for Law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the Law.”–The Kybalion (1)
“Any author or critic who says that the Letters of English and the design of the English Letters to be irrelevant to the greater aspect of the Occult is simply fooling themselves and speaks from a knowledge that is narrow and ill advised: the Letters are the Key to the Whole of Occult Mysticism. A new student is advised to keep this admonition in mind as s/he views this information, for deception as a product of the Occult allowed both the Letters to come into existence while at the same time allowed the darker elements of the Occult to rise to a power that is perilously dangerous for humanity at large.” - The Fetch
Master Qaballist in the Isisian Traditions.
“The other shape,
If shape it might be call’d, that shape had none,
Distinguishable in member, joint, or limb;
Or substance might be call’d that shadow seem’d;
For each seem’d either; black it stood as night,
Fierce as ten furies, terrible as Hell,
And shook a dreadful dart; what seem’d his head
The likeness of a kingly crown had on.
Satan was now at hand; and from his seat
The monster, moving onward, came as fast
With horrid strides; Hell trembled as he strode.”
– John Milton
INTRODUCTION:
I have written many other books with all manner of reference and scholarship. It is about fifty books as I begin to write this book. There will be many questions about what an alchemist or sage is that the reader will justifiably have after reading this offering. Perhaps I am not an alchemist and the title or label is of no great consequence to me, even though a decade ago people who should know what one is began telling me that is what I can be called. Time/Life videos called Jung an alchemist and if he was then I am too.
This book will not be a well-referenced book with lots of quotes seeking to prove points through evidence. It will be more free-flowing and integrative just as alchemy is. That is not to say alchemy is not very patient and detailed or that this book will avoid anything. It is just that I have already gone into great detail on most things and it is a good idea to address things with broad strokes occasionally too.
I am on many web communities as well as a contributor to places like GoArticles.com where other people may go to get free content to put in their forums or on their web sties. It has led to interesting exposure in other places to be sure. I picked up an article on this site from a national journalist who tried to set up a psychic and expose a fraud. He was amazed and got more than he bargained for and later apologized to the psychic. I doubt any of the seventy papers or magazines he writes for picked up this true story. I put it on a few sites and many people said they knew psychics were frauds and they had never called one. I have not called a psychic hot line but I have had lots of psychics approach me and tell me things for reasons that will be fleshed out further in this book. Here is one of my responses to a person on an MSN community who pointed out that real psychics often do not charge.
‘I have never charged. I tell people who want to pay, that they should pass the blessings on to others in random acts of kindness, and it does not come from me.
There are many people who will not believe it is possible even when they see it for their own eyes. I have set up major tests for myself and I have delivered according to RIGHT THOUGHT (Which includes it being important to demonstrate to them that this is the nature of reality.). Here are a few examples:
1. Decreeing that I win a nationwide draw for a Mazda RX-7.
2. An afternoon delight for two in OKC for me and a friend. It was Sunday in a brown bag State and the call came via phone. (Never happens and was a real ‘trip’ that impacted him and his growth greatly.)
3. Affecting the wind and rain two separate nights one after the other - mostly done by an adept I met.
4. An exorcism of a person already given the Last Rites - attested by all medical people at St. Francis Hospital in Indy and for two years of prior study at McGill and Mayo Clinic, and a Monsignor.
5. A three month long Decree for my ‘twin’ attested by many at a bar in Lakewood California.
6. Saying that I would end up doing something ‘fantastic’ for a career to people and yet I had no proof it would occur or contact from my brother who was thousands of miles away. A tea leaf reader told my girlfriend about it during this time and I told my lady ‘See I was right’; and later I had to tell her not to join me (The stupidest thing as far as personal relationships I have ever done. I loved her more than any other since, but I was just twenty years old at that time and she had a job of some note and would have had to leave it.).
7. Healing that person of a problem with her liver that medical doctors were going to have to remove a third of her liver. While she was involved with me it cleared up and then it had to be operated on two years later.
There are many other such things, including what I am now doing.’
This book will hopefully have many questions from people on the web who are able to formulate some pretty ridiculous questions to say the least.

Walking in Dark Places.
Running in Dark Places. Walking in Honesty.1 Thessalonians 4:12-4:12 1Th 4:12 That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing. How many today are running in Dark Places, you know, the places that you wouldn’t want the rest of the church to see you in? Do you have a watchman such as Dumah [Son of Ishmael] had? Or is there some secret place that you feel safe, a little place that you can go that no one knows of? Isa 21:11 The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? {what of the destruction that was fortold, what has happened in the dark places of the night} God’s prophets and ministers are as watchmen in the city in a time of peace, to see that all is safe. As watchmen in the camp in time of war, to warn of the motions of the enemy. After a long sleep in sin and security, it is time to rise, to awake out of sleep. We have a great deal of work to do, a long journey to go; it is time to be stirring. After a long dark night. Watchman–the prophet (Isa-62:6; Jer-6:17), so called, because, like a watchman on the lookout from a tower, he announces future events which he sees in prophetic vision
But how many are willing to listen to a prophet or a prophetic vision? Very few. Jesus said that a prophet has no honour in his own home or country. Why is this? Many wish to remain in dark places, places of the mind, soul and body. The dark places are a place of solitude and comfort to many. Why do I say this, because many today have been taught wrong for so long that they think wrong is right and anything else has to be untrue. For example, there are large churches that teach that a man does not have to be born again, they teach praying to God under some one else’s name rather that Jesus, they forbid their ministers from marrying. This is false doctrine, which leads into dark places. The dark places of our mind and soul are pits that will lead to apostasy, which many will fall into. Jesus warned, not everyone that saith, Lord, Lord shall inter into the kingdom of Heaven, only those who do the will of the Father. Doesn’t this sound like something that we all should be aware of and concerned with? Here in the next two verses are the reason for sins in dark places, 1Th 5:7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
John 11:10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him. Where has the light gone? Many times the candle has went out because of one simple verse that many forget, 1Co 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. A man must be put into remembrance of what has been preached, lest he forgets, whom he serves and why he serves. Many will fall back into the dark places of this life having hafe way salvation or become part time Christians because they are lulled to sleep by the speaking of many dulled words. 2Ti 2:14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
Eph 5:12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
John 7:4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world. Everything that we do must be an open book to all to see. Our homes must be open to public scrutiny and our conversations must be open to the critic. Do you actually believe that you can sin amongst the dark places and it will never come into the light?
1Th 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil. Have you found yourself, reading something that you shouldn’t read, or watching something that you shouldn’t be watching, doing something or being somewhere you shouldn’t be, is your conversations a little loose fit for a person professing Christianity? If you answered yes to any of these you have found yourself in the dark places of the mind, soul and body. A tree is known by the fruit it bears, what it supports, what it produces, are many producing doubt or suspicion? Does the fruit you produce have spots on a side or two? Have you been lulled into a sense that salvation is permanent and once saved that all is well, look closely what Peter said about the saved;
1Pe 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
We should all underline and highlight this verse and double underline the word SCARCELY. (ALT) And “If the righteous [person] is scarcely [or, with difficulty is] saved, where will the ungodly and sinner appear [fig., what will become of the ungodly and sinner]?” [Prov 11:31] Why then do we have so many that will fall into dark places? Lets read the following;
Mat 16:3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? Darfur, 2004; A video filmed by the governor’s office and obtained by the United Nations days after the attack, showed fly-ridden bodies rotting in the street, a fuming and charred marketplace and women crying as they rocked children. They were also allowed to rape with impunity. At least 30,000 people have been killed in, according to human rights reports. Among the more than one million people displaced by the violence, at least 200,000 have fled into neighboring Chad. Aid groups say 300,000 people have been left vulnerable to hunger and disease. Wars, rumors of wars, petulance, famine, fires out of control, floods that kill hundreds, sexual diseases killing thousands, and still man looks for the stars as thou there is something up there that will change this world and make it a better place to live. If man attained to the stars, he would corrupt and contaminate the heavens, just as he has the earth. Always learning and never being able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Many are not open to change, things are going along fine, nothing has changed since from before my fathers, father, was alive, all things remain the same. When was the last time you watched the news from Iraq, row after row of Muslims, bowing to the east, proclaiming Godliness and then murdering the innocent, heads without bodies, bodies without heads, blood, beatings and thousands upon thousands join them every day, its time we woke up to the truth. Row after row of Nazis, marching in step, claiming the perfect society, sound familiar? The Moslem world is claiming the same thing, Kill the Christian, Kill the Jew, Kill the American, we are the servants of Allah. It should, history is repeating itself and fulfilling prophecy. A democratic, Muslim nation is a contradiction in terms, it will never happen. Religious zealots and maniacs, looking only as far as their own religion and never willing to accept Jesus as the only Son of God. Lets be honest with ourselves, lets walk honestly with God and our fellow human beings, let us accept the truth.
Rom 13:13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
1Th 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Christianity is a 24/7 lifestyle; we must work at our salvation, staying out of the dark areas. Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, that’s good advice. ars

BCAA stands for branched chain amino acids and is increasingly being recognized as an important supplement in the field of sports nutrition. In short the term refers to three essential amino acids - leucine, isoleucine and valine.
Amino acids are widely known as the building blocks of protein. When protein food is eaten it gets digested into individual amino acids and short chains of amino acids that are sufficiently small to be absorbed into the bloodstream. They are then used by the body to build and repair tissues amongst other things.
Amino acids are split between those classed as essential and those labelled non-essential. This simply means that essential amino acids cannot be made by the body, whereas non-essential amino acids can. There are nine essential amino acids and each must be obtained from the diet. The nine essential amino acids are histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine.
Non-essential amino acids are just as important as the essential variety and the term simply means they can be made by the body from vitamins and other amino acids. The non-essential amino acids are alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, cystine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, proline, serine and tyrosine.
The BCAA’s are especially important to athletes because they are metabolized in the muscle rather than the liver. This means that they can be used either to build new proteins or be burned as fuel to create energy. Supplementing with BCAA’s has been shown to result in measurable gains in both muscle strength and size. Taken before a workout BCAA’s can improve performance and delay the onset of fatigue. They also operate as anabolic agents allowing the body to burn fat and not muscle.
As a supplement that has no reported side effects, branched chain amino acids offer many benefits to the serious bodybuilder.

Some general advice for looking and finding a home alarm system.
Check out the reputation of systems which you choose- It is very important that the consumer check out the reputation of the company which makes the model which they are looking at. It is a good idea to do a check with the Better Business Bureau as well as checking sites on line which review companies such as those who make home alarm systems. If there have been several complaints and even recalls, it is a wise decision to go with another company. The consumer is spending their hard earned money on their alarm system so it is only common sense that the company be thoroughly checked out.
Check out the reputation of the monitoring center- If you have chosen a home alarm system which has a twenty four hour monitoring system, it is a good idea to check the reputation of the call center. Some consumers have done checks such as these and have found that the call centers have proven quite inefficient during an emergency. There have been a few complaints that once the alarm was triggered, the monitoring center either did not respond to police or fire departments right away or even not at all. It is very important to check the record and reputation of the call center which you will be entrusting your home to when you are either sleeping or away from home.

Your Aries Baby..
21 March - 19 April.
A typical Aries has a strong, active body and mind. Aries babies usually walk and talk early, but can be lazy. Attention seekers who like to be in charge, Arians can have a temper when thwarted.
Your Aries baby will be generous with toys and have a vivid, practical imagination. With an inexhaustible curiosity, young Arians can achieve a lot in a short time. An Aries baby is usually very affectionate.
Raising an Aries baby can be challenging as they are usually very determined to do things their own way. Saying ‘no’ to an Aries baby will not necessarily work, nor will persuasion, coaxing or offering examples of good behaviour. Most Aries children are very direct about their likes and dislikes. Perhaps the best way to coax an Aries baby into action is to create a challenge and the young Aries will need to prove that he is better than anyone else.
Aries children love adventure, trying most new things, solving problems and taking charge. However, emotionally they can be a little fragile and will need a lot of reassurance and to know that they are loved.
There is a danger that Aries children will react against authority at school. You will need to teach them to obey, perhaps by making it into a challenge. Arians need to be guided rather than ordered about, and they recover quickly from setbacks.
A typical Aries baby is healthy and quickly recovers from any illness. They are, however, prone to accidents, particularly to the head.

Doctors agree that ejaculating earlier than desired is one of most common underestimated sexual problems of male population. This condition is more common than erectile dysfunction as one in four men experience poor control over ejaculation.
The impact of premature ejaculation on men and their partners can be devastating for a relationship. Due earlier ejaculation the pregnancy is organic impossible to achieve unless artificial insemination is used. This situation and lack of sexual satisfaction can generate tension, stress and breaking of relation.
There is no perfect treatment for premature ejaculation. Specialists claim that the problem is more in man’s mind, so they propose some techniques to improve the psychological side of sexual process.
1. The process in more important than objective, doctors say. Sex must be a whole experience and man should focus on pleasure in sex rather than the performance.
2. Without expectations men are out of disappointment. Patients must not assign goals, they must see sexual experience as a learning process and discover new things step by step.
3. A quiet mind can avoid fear and anxiety. If man try to concentrate his attention to a complementary activity, like his own breathing, then there is no place for thoughts that might interfere. To create a mutual enjoyment of the sex, men can focus to synchronize his breathing with partner’s.
4. Going slow is a way to fully experiencing every moment in sex. Breathing, feeling, foreplay, kissing and intercourse are all parts of the sex act that do not need to be rushed.
5. Let sex flows naturally, there is no shame or blame in it. Man must adjust his picture around sex to reflect only positive aspects.

The human body and every part of it have their own offensive and in some unfortunate cases repulsive smell. Body Odour Smells if left unattended can turn into a horrible stench. Many types of odour are common enough for their identities to be pinpointed to certain regions of the body. Take the feet or under the arms these are both host to distinguishing smells.
You will find there are 3 sorts of secretor glands on the skin - one which we are most familiar with is the sweat gland where the odour is of an acrid smell. This turns into a putrid type smell if the sweat is left to build up - build up is brought about by the sweat getting trapped which then prevents evaporation. The other type of gland is the Apocrine Glands which are rich in proteins and fats and because of these it encourages the presence of bacteria. Then we have the Sebaceous Glands which eject a greasy type lubricant named sebum. Sebum contains fatty acids, cholesterol, proteins and waxes - all of these once again are like a magnet for bacteria. Bacterial infections can disperse embarrassing Body Odour Smells.
Unfortunately bacteria and Body Odour Smells is here to stay no matter how much you cleanse wash or rinse the offending areas but the good news is, you can prevent and lessen offending smells as such to reduce any embarrassing situations you may find your self in.
Perspiration can be calmed down to a minimum with different materials.
Try to avoid sweat instigators on the skin like synthetic fabrics. Cotton is a material that helps lessen sweat outbursts. You can speak with your doctor if you are experiencing strong pungent smells from certain parts of the body that you are not comfortable with. The doctor will be able to advise you on what is the best action to take in prescribing medicated cleansers. When treating bad breath - once again talk with a figure in the medical profession or your dentist.
No one is exempt from suffering from sweat but once again there are ways of keeping it in control with certain products scientifically designed to treat perspiration. Available over chemist counters you can purchase spray or roll on antiperspirants or deodorants.
Antiperspirants include aluminium salts which play an important role in reducing sweat deposits by helping to close the sweat ducts. Combating sweat with the aid of deodorant is hurried along with the inclusion of the antiseptic in the deodorant. Remember this only helps with the smelly secretion and not to eliminate the sweating
Deodorants contain an antiseptic to combat bacteria and they also reduce odour but do not cut down the sweating. Expect to find most deodorants to be scented giving a false identity to working miracles when in fact it is just overpowering a body odour smell for a few hours.
Body Odour Smells is a part of our lives that is here to stay so the best treatment is to face up to them in the best possible way and that is to keep offending areas clean. Be sure to check with a medical advisor before administering any over the counter drugs you may purchase. Certain medications and treatments for Body Odour Smells may not be agreeable to your skin thus resulting in allergic reactions so it is wise to seek medical advice.

Debt settlement can be done in various ways. Negotiate for lower mortgage and refinance rates. You can approach the credit agency or the bank for a lower rate of interest when the government announces a lower rate of interest. In this way, you have to pay lower interest rates. Isn’t that just splendid. This is because if the interest rates move north or increase, then the lenders will just increase the tenure of your debt. They will ensure that you pay up when the rates increase. However they may not give you rebate when the interest rates go down. It’s in your own financial interest to keep track of the interest rates.
Financial prudence will go a long way in helping you to lead a good life and help you tide of the debts that you might have. Save for the things that you want to buy. Little patience will go a long way. Thus to save yourself from debt and if you have the cash, then go in for debt settlement, this decrease your debt burden. In this way, you won’t use the credit card and neither will you have credit card debts. So automatically, you would have done debt settlement. If you do use credit cards then pay back the full amount within the payment period. Otherwise you would be paying huge interest costs on the balance, which is left over.
Have only one credit card, which must be used for emergency purposes. Get your lunch from home, while working at the office. This can be a big saving as well as increase your chances of a fast recovery, thus debt settlement should be practiced by everyone. Quite simply spending even $5 on lunch everyday can be a big amount. Say you work 22 days in a month, $5 for lunch means that you are spending $110 per month. You can save this amount. Over the year this amount becomes $1320.

The revolutionary idea of selling pixels and making a million
from his website milliondollarhomepage by the young UK
entrepreneur has made more and more people to start similar
websites and get advertisements. The price per pixel was fixed
at $1, and within a span of 4 months the million pixels were
sold.
As competition is hotting up in this pixel ad space, the prices
have come down to 10 cents, 5 cents and finally the latest pixel
ad site which was launched is www.onecentonepixel.com . I don’t
think the prices could come down more than this, says an
advertiser who advertised on OneCentOnePixel.com website.
Now with the milliondollarhomepage being full, sites like
OneCentOnePixel.com would cash in as the advertisers are
increasing day by day. By advertising in OneCentOnePixel.com
website you can get a bigger space for advertisement which is
1/100th the cost of milliondollarhomepage.
It is very easy to include your pixel ads in the website, first
you need to create an image which you would like to add in the
OneCentOnePixel.com website and then upload and select the place
where you would like the pixel ad to be placed and then finally
make the payment through Paypal. The pixel ads on
OneCentOnePixel.com website would be placed for 5 years and the
starting price for advertising is $1, which is very less than
the competitors.

Even the most well planned best-organized wedding can fizzle out if the wedding music and the DJ are not good. There are thousands of good DJ’s and DJ wannabes out there. The solution is finding the right one. Choosing from among them will not guarantee you the wedding music that would add to the fun of the party.
Pick a DJ that you have already heard perform. You might have heard a great DJ in a club, a restaurant, and a hotel, at other wedding parties and celebrations. Your friends are also good sources of DJ’s because chances are you have the same taste in music as they have. When choosing DJ’s, do not shop around anymore because the best DJ’s are the ones you already have heard and liked.
If you haven’t heard a good one lately, your job becomes harder.
Then you can start looking in the yellow pages under disc Jockeys, Music and Entertainment. It will not be wise to bank on a DJ for price consideration alone. Starting DJ’s normally charge smaller than the more experienced one. Get a short list of the DJ’s that have a good and tastefully done ad. If you can find DJ’s that have conducted in several wedding events. When talking to them, try listening to the manner of their speech, the words they use and how they phrase them. The manner in which DJ’s talk tends to spill into their performance.
If the budget however is limited and you have to pick a DJ that is not as expensive, (DJ’s Services usually ranges from $100 to $2000 for a four hours work) make a shortlist of those who sound interesting. You can ask them for references and inquire about them. The more the reference the better. It would also be better if the DJ has a regular venue where they perform so you can visit unannounced. From there you can observe how the people reacts to the DJ. If you like how the DJ carries himself, how he ensures that even requests are handled well that it blends with music continuity and motivates the crowd, you could have found the right one for the occasion.
Do not be impressed by the number of music, gears and equipment that many DJ’s boast. For a four-hour performance, chances are he can only play 60 cuts. If you are not very good at music equipment, you also will not know the difference.
From his collection choose only about 60 to 70 music that he will play for your wedding music.
Pointers in selecting wedding music.
Note the venue of the ceremony. If it has to take place in a church as most weddings are held, coordinate with the minister if there are restrictions in the wedding music. There are also types of songs that are prescribed for certain part of the ceremony. A wedding ceremony consists of six basic parts.
The processional or the march. Bridal march music is meant to usher in the bride and the entourage.
The interludes (four) - which is meant to convey the emotion of the ceremony according to the message of the moment.
The recessional - Wedding music selection for this part is usually happier songs meant to celebrate the new couple and the joining of the families.
In all these you can choose the music that fits within the prescribed dignity of the ceremony. Other wedding music pieces can be played at the reception.
