AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY
Colleen Anne Smith (B.A., Dip. Ed.,Dip. Hom., Dip. Herb.) has
spent many years as a teacher- not only of high school students, but also as a
teacher of spiritual philosophy. Her interest in metaphysical reality began with
her study of Homeopathy in the1980’s.
As a practitioner of Homeopathy, she wrote Homeopathy The
Healer, an introductory primer for those beginning treatment in this
alternative field of healing. Her dedication to promoting holistic health led
her into other fields such as Herbalism, Reflexology and metaphysical healing.
As her experience in the healing arts widened, her
understanding of spiritual philosophy deepened enhancing her awareness of
spiritual connections beyond the material world.
Harnessing The Alchemist Within
is the product of over twenty five years of growth along a spiritual pathway
which continues to evolve into greater awareness of Soul centered living.

The Voice Of The Alchemist
This is
your voice the You as you really are!
So
often you sense within
The
deeper murmurs of your heart –
Those
soft words which rise gently and quietly
From
somewhere not quite tangible,
But
real, nevertheless.
Words
of guidance, patience, trust, courage, love –
Words
coloured by an energy which you know
To be
beyond your physical senses.
This
energy of a metaphysical nature
You
might call Soul or Higher Self.
Either
way, when this part of you speaks,
There
is a sense of Truth and Knowingness
Which
cannot be ignored.
You
feel its persuasion and strength.
If you
listen, you know
The
rightness of its directives.
Follow
and all seems to flow –
Easily,
without confusion.
This is
your Alchemist –
Your
own pool of ancient and modern wisdom –
There
for you to drink from at will.
It
knows neither structure nor barrier.
It is
free and exists without condition.
Its
purpose is to give life and richness –
To all
you do and all you are.
Like a
magical transformer,
It
touches upon your thoughts and feelings
And
somehow raises them to another level.
It is
the Enlightener –
The
Giver of sweetness to nourish and elevate;
To
bring into reality
The
magnificence of the Divine enfleshed –
Consciously and totally.
YesThe
Alchemist –
The
Preserver of all Possibility,
The
Creator of all Experience –
Which
promote the evolution
Of the
human self
Into
the Greater Self of true awakening –
The
Essential Self.
Harnessing The Alchemist
Gazing
out across the twilight ocean,
Absorbed in the lilac beauty of the sunset,
What is
it that you relax into?
In the
stillness of the days end,
All is
quieted within you too –
Even
for this brief moment of wonder and peace.
What a
marvellous feeling to be one with nature
In such
an instant!
How
amazing it is to feel all chaos dissolve away
–
Albeit fleetingly –
To be
fully awakened to the majesty you behold!
This is
quiet surrender to your Soul –
The
opening for The Alchemist
To be
mindfully present
As your
awareness changes from the immediate
To the
reflective.
You
will never forget the magic of sunset,
Or
sunrise, or the silence of night –
When
your Soul touches upon the experience,
Blending you in the now with the more ethereal.
At
another time you will seek the same again –
Questing for the sated feeling
That
The Alchemist
Is able
to create and hold for you.
In that
you will make way for Its handiwork
And
harness Its power.
So, be
still; reflect; experience.
Seek
serenity, kindness and joy.
Allow
your mind to absorb goodness in all its forms.
It will
respond with calming thoughts,
Gentle
motivations and wholesome understandings
Of the
world in which you live.
And The
Alchemist will deliver to you
The
knowing that All is Well –
In
spite of whatever else.
In the
pages to follow
Find
thoughts which The Alchemist within
Can
shape for you alone
So that
you are able to be alchemised –
From
one in isolation and disconnectedness
To one
who is intricately and wholly
Blended
consciously
With
the Will of the Universe-
Being
genuinely at One with All There Is.
Seeker
of Truth
.
It
whispered to me in my stillness.
You
are the brave warrior,
Daring
to confront
The
unknown mystery of life itself.
Who knows what You
will find
Within the
cavernous spaces
Of Your
mind, Your heart, Your soul?
Gathering strength, Seeker of Truth,
You
embark on the journey,
Armed
with only the knowledge
Of what
has gone before,
Clutching the desire to find what is still unknown.
Your
breath of determination drawn in,
With
readiness,
You
cast caution and hesitation
Into
the wildness of the void of ignorance.
And
what, Seeker of Truth,
Do You
think You will find there?
What
will You, Valiant One, bring to Light?
Simply
the Truth
That
all which You thought
Was so
elusive and foreign,
Is
hidden inside of Yourself,
Lying
in latent hope of discovery
ALL
THAT TIME.
By
thus journeying with courage
Into
the unfathomable depths of the Inner Man,
There,
in the stillness of Silence,
The
Ancient Self waits for an audience.
This
timeless Oracle carries the message of Truth
Translating the intent of the Divine Self
Into
the desires and impulses of the Human Heart.
So
listen carefully and be not afraid.
The
subtle stirrings of the Beyond
Will
lighten the weight of Life
Bringing optimism and even joy from the Soul.
Therein lies the reason for earthly existence.
Therein
lies the motivation to persist.
Therein
lies the completion You Seek.
