Let me ask you something....Is it accidental that there are 7 major chakras and 22 minor chakras? Do you really believe that it can be an accident? Is it chance? Is it luck? It does not matter where you look. The truth is in front of everyone. You cannot miss it. Everyone sees it, but few comprehend it for what it is. The chakras are just another method to teach the all pervading truth that is alchemy. Different methods for different people.
Alchemy is the only Great Art. It is the only True Science, since it is all encompassing. Yes, there are Philosophers who might appear to be fairly simple and uneducated in their treatises and tracts, but that is only because they keep the very best part of their Philosophy hidden. You will not find them explaining it in even its remotest senses. You really get the chaff, while they keep the kernel of the grain. At a certain point in time it is likely that you will believe that you have finally gotten the kernel, but it is most unlikely. Dig deeper still. See how well your Philosophy can be reasoned out.
I understand how many must feel. It would not be strange if you would be thinking: "There he comes again with his comments. Hardly ever agreeing with others. Just railing at the work of others with no worthwhile contributions of his own since everything of his own devise is intangible and thus of no use."
In a sense you are correct, but nevertheless there remains a problem. Most certainly it is true that those who continue to travel on the same road will receive more of the same of what they have already received. Are you happy with what you have received? Is it good enough to make your ideals a reality? To figure out the truth there can be nothing better than to be like a Philosopher in every way. Think like one, act like one, reason like one, write like one. Think about what they would most likely do and do it as well. You cannot disdain and disrespect their methods and yet expect to be able to enter into the most Inner Sanctum. It will definitely not work.
What are you doing? Just committing yourself to intensive labor? There are enough simple workmen in the world. Energy without an intelligent force that directs it amounts to wasted energy.
What are you doing? Do you suppose it is simple chemistry? Do you not find it strange that so many chemists have not found it? There is no need for second class chemists when there are first class chemists in the world with philosophies that are much more comprehensive.
What are you doing? Do you suppose that it is all spiritual, a state of mind? What is the purpose of thoughts? You use thoughts to attract. Attract what? That which is missing. You consciously understand your own imperfection and thoughts can be the means to correct those imperfections if used correctly. Keeping it therefore spiritual will manifest only more of the same. That which is intangible and not a real solution. That which is perfect is thoughtless. Powerful and thoughtless.
The good news for those who find my words annoying is that it is most likely that you will not have to put up with them a lot longer. The differences are too great. Furthermore the worst trait that most disciples of the alchemical art suffer from is their 'intellectualism' (and yes, I am including myself as well). Ironically that which is their greatest strength is also their greatest weakness. This intellectualism creates an inner world to which they can retreat. The outer world thus becomes less important. Thoughts are ideals. Perspectives on what it should be like compared to what it currently is. Great amounts of thought thus denote great suffering. Ideals that lie far away from the current reality. It is pain, but without it there is no gain. The suffering man will in time rise up to be the greater man, but a terrible price must be paid to achieve it. It is thus not without reason that intellectuals in any form often appear closed, cold, distant and thus unpredictable. Scheming ahead. Creating future worlds. They hold all the power in the world. The material intellectuals subjugate their environment, while the immaterial intellectuals let the environment rise to new heights which makes them greater too in turn. A natural conflict thus arises between the intellectuals whose balance currently appears to be broken. It can only be hoped that that will change in the future.
My attempts to communicate with selected intellectuals all across the internet have failed. Not even worthy of a denigrating response in most cases by all appearances. Not that it matters too much on one hand, but I believed that much more would have been possible.
Everything is in movement. Nothing stays the same. Times change. Situations change. Snakes shed their skins. I wish you all good luck.
"Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her. The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens. By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew. My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion: So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck."
There are hidden principles at work behind everything. Find them.

"Masonry, like all the Religions, all the Mysteries, Hermeticism, and Alchemy, conceals its secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages, or the Elect, and uses false explanations and misinterpretations of its symbols to mislead those who deserve only to be mislead; to conceal the Truth, which it calls light, and draw them away from it." - Albert Pike
