Are you ready to unlock the secrets of alchemy and discover the gold within? Well, I want you to imagine living without fear, without limitations, without doubt. Just free to embody your fullest potential and walk a path of purpose and fulfillment. Get ready, because I'm about to welcome you to the alchemical journey.
This is your invitation to become the alchemist of your life, to decode your heaven on earth. And go through the alchemical process. The alchemist is a master of himself, so that he can master life. People thought alchemists were turning lead into gold, but they're really crystallizing their soul into form.
Alchemizer Golden Potential. Welcome to the Golden Life. Welcome to the Golden Life, my name's David Gilbert, and I'm here to help you become the alchemist of your life. And this podcast episode is more than just an episode. It's an invitation, and this is going to be a four part series where we'll uncover the keys to alchemy.
The secrets of the great work or magnum opus, the process of turning your fears, your doubts and limitations into the gold of love, freedom and inner peace. And together we're going to start and you'll get a clear picture of the ultimate quest for inner gold. And how to get started on this journey. So what we're going to start to share the secrets of is what's called the great work, the great work of ancient alchemists.
And this is the highest path you can take to become a crystallized version of your soul, of your highest self, of your golden potential. But we're going to start at the beginning where typically the majority, if not all of us start. And I know for myself when I was younger and if you were to ask me, David, what does your golden life look like?
Well, I'd say I want a beach house. I want, let's say a sports car, maybe a couple of sports cars. Uh, I want to be a business owner. Actually let's throw in a rally fighter. I always wanted one of those. Uh, some more toys, golf carts and surfboards and all the fun toys. Uh, a wife that loves me. Uh, beautiful, awesome kids and, uh, just make a lot of money and, and be successful.
And this is where we typically go when we start the, the journey of getting in touch with our dreams, of getting in touch with that vision, like we touched on in a couple episodes.
We think that if we get these things, if we have these things, we'll feel the peace, we'll feel the joy, we'll feel the fulfillment that we're craving underneath. But here's the catch. Even when we achieve those dreams, it's a real possibility that something could still feel off. Like we know this for a fact because we know how many millionaires and billionaires are there that have achieved the highest levels of financial success yet still feel empty inside.
So that is a sign in of itself. That is data point to show us that we can go through life thinking if we get the external idea of success, we're going to be happy. We're going to be filled and we're just going to have it all. Yet these people who have done that are miserable. So why is that? Well, that's because the gold they're chasing is outside of them.
At least they think. But the real gold that nobody can take away is within. So I want you to take a moment now, and I want you to picture Your golden life. Like, get in touch with that vision. What is that thrilling vision or dream for your life three years from today? Like, if anything was possible, if I just gave you a blank canvas and you get to be the artist of your life and you get to paint it, what would it look like?
Like, pause the podcast if you need to to just let yourself go there. Get in touch with that dream right now. Now guessing that you pause the podcast and you're back and ready to keep going. Let's jump in. All right. Do you have the vision of everything that you would have? Beautiful. Well, now we're going to flip the script because the alchemical journey isn't about having it.
It's about becoming when you can change who you are on the inside. The outside world follows and this is the secret of alchemy. So many people don't discover they go through their entire lives thinking if they just got this thing, they would feel great about themselves. But the truth is you're looking for an external experience to tell you how to feel on the inside where the gold you seek.
Isn't a bank account, isn't the relationship or even a title or whatever your definition of success is. It's within you. And here's the thing. You can't find this gold until you embark on the inner alchemical journey. Now, if you're like David, but I really want these things and money will solve a lot of problems.
And if I have the relationship, then I'll really feel like I love myself and I have somebody to love. Beautiful, but let's just acknowledge we've been conditioned to start with external change. We've been conditioned by the collective society, at least in the United States. I don't know. Maybe you grew up in a mountain with monks and you're just, you got it already.
Uh, but we've been conditioned to want more money, to want more success, to want just more things, right? How much can we have? But if you really want fulfillment, It's almost in the name, right? Fulfillment. It starts with internal transformation. It starts with becoming full internally. So, the gold that you'll discover on the journey, the alchemical journey, isn't temporary.
It doesn't depend on what you have. It doesn't depend on the seasons changing where, you know, we go through the Evolutions of life and some things are just going to decay and be reborn and you're going to lose things and expand and contract and it just doesn't depend on the things you have because when it comes to you on your deathbed, you're not going to be able to take any of those things with you and the beauty about the gold within is that it doesn't even fade with time.
Like I said, it doesn't fade. It is always there and it's just waiting for you to uncover it. So how do you find this gold within? Well you follow the path of the ancient alchemists. Because alchemy has always been this mysterious and secretive art. And why is that? Well, they would put teachings and hidden symbols and pictures.
They would only share certain wisdom through spoken word in small groups. And they would have these books that they shared of the process of transmutation. But they would literally try to trick the other people who were reading it. And switch up little parts of the story. But now I believe we live in a time where this ancient wisdom is ready to be shared with those who deem themselves worthy.
And that humanity is ready to awaken to its next level of potential. And how do we do that? We do it by going through the alchemical process. The process of turning the lead of our limited, fear based, lack based beliefs into the gold of our true essence. And that's why I wrote my new book, The Alchemical Journey.
It's a modern day guide to transmuting the lead of fear, of doubt, of limitation into the gold of your highest essence. It combines the timeless hero journey with the secrets of inner alchemy, laying out a clear process for you to follow. And I really believe now is this time for the information to be out in the open with those who are ready to walk the path, right?
Because the world needs it more than ever. It's time for us. We can see all the craziness happening around the world, the war, the, the people starving and, and poverty in certain areas of the world, or even homelessness. Let's say I live in California and all the homelessness here. And we all know in our hearts, there's a better way we all know in our hearts, we can feed the world yet.
We're not doing it. And why is that? Well, it's because we forgot who we are in our core and we're letting these limiting beliefs and fear get in the way from shining our light fully with the world. So this is an invitation for you to become a way shower to truly shine your light. Unapologetically, but first, in order to do that, you're gonna have to embark on a journey.
You're gonna have to leap into the unknown. You're gonna have to discover that you are the hero of your story and that you can become the alchemist of your life. So just know this book isn't a guide. It's an invitation for you to embark on the ultimate quest for inner gold. Are you ready to begin? So no, in the next episode, we're going to continue to take steps into the alchemical journey, into your own alchemical journey.
Well, you'll learn how to face your inner shadow and uncover the fears that are holding you back from leaping into the unknown, so that you can really start to alchemize your full potential, right? Turning your inner lead into gold. So no, the book is available now. You can find it online, you can find it at Amazon, check the show notes below to grab a copy, but until then, remember this, the gold you're seeking is already within you.
All you have to do is have the courage to take that first step. Thank you for joining me today, and I'm excited to jump right in and continue this journey in the next episode.
