Welcome, friendly viewers,
to today’s
Science and Spirituality
and Part 2 of our program
featuring Dr. Theresa Ibis,
of the US, a physicist,
alchemist, Kabbalist,
co-founder of the Universal
Kabbalah Network and
founder of Indigo Bridge
In Service (IBIS).
Dr. Ibis is also trained
as a Celtic Shaman and
Advanced Ritual Master
of the Brotherhood and
Sisterhood of Light in the
lineage of King Salomon.
Theresa Ibis has
a Ph.D. in physics and
specializes in the fields
of sacred geometry,
true alchemy
and personal growth,
among others.
Today Dr. Ibis
delves more deeply
into the philosophy
and science of alchemy
and explains the concept
of the seven stages
of transformation, which
she says can be applied
to both the physical
and spiritual planes
to produce constructive
change in our lives
and the world around us.
Alchemy is the study of
and the science and art
of transformation, so how
we can transform anything
from a base state
to a more elevated
or perfected state.
That's
the most simple definition
we can give alchemy.
They have identified
a pattern of steps that
anything, when it's going
from point A to point B
will follow,
and it will go through
these various stages as
it transforms from a state
that has impurities
into a state
that has more perfection.
Whether you’re applying it
at a spiritual level,
at a psychological level,
at a physical level,
you can see the
same pattern showing up.
Dr. Ibis says that
alchemy’s roots may be
traced to Europe and Asia,
and that both the Western
and Eastern schools
of alchemy employ the
same underlying formulas
because both
are based on observing
natural processes and
how nature transforms
mind and matter.
Take evolution
for example;
evolution will go through
those same stages.
But what alchemy does is
it takes evolution,
and it applies our own
consciousness, our own
intentional involvement in
that process of evolution.
And from understanding
the pattern
at a scientific level,
we can then interact
with the evolution
and speed it up.
Words like “calcination”
and “dissolution”
and “separation”
are still used today
in modern chemistry.
Modern chemistry,
modern physics,
modern pharmacology,
medicine, all these things
are branches of
what used to be alchemy.
So alchemy
paved the foundation for
all of our modern sciences,
including psychology.
The basic theory says
there are seven stages
of transformation.
The first stage,
let’s apply this
at a consciousness level,
(is) how we can transform
our own consciousness
psychologically.
Calcination, for example
is the burning of the ego.
You got out there in life,
and some event happens,
someone says something
rude to you, or gives you
a piece of feedback that
maybe wasn't so gentle,
and your ego gets
really burnt and inflamed
and you might get angry,
and there’s
a lot of fiery energy,
and yet there's that
kind of pain of having to
suddenly face yourself.
So the calcination
is the burning of the ego.
And usually that then
starts the process;
the calcinations
start the fire and
the transformative process
within us.
From there some
of the emotion comes up,
whether it’s sadness
that they really
think that about me
or I'm not good enough,
or whatever
subconscious patterns
start to rise up
to the surface and we
become very disillusioned.
So that next stage
is called dissolution,
where you’re dissolving
that part of the ego
that was burnt.
You’re dissolving it
into the waters
of the subconscious mind.
Then the next stage
would be for us
to go into separation,
trying to gain some clarity
and allow our mind
and our reason
to come and go,
"Okay, well this is true,
I’m going to be honest
with myself and say,
‘Yes, I have an issue here,
and okay, so where
do I need to clear it up?
And where
did it come from?’”
So you’re separating out,
“What do I want to keep;
what do I want
to get rid of?”
After you go through
some purification
of those pieces that
you’re separating out,
it’s really like,
“Who am I?” and
“What am I here for?”
Then you start coming
to the level of clarity,
and you’ve let go
of some of the hurt and
you’ve let go of some of
the emotional attachments.
And then you bring your
pieces back together,
and you form
this new sense of self.
At this point, awareness
of a new self-identity
is a temporary state.
To remain
in this higher state, one
still needs to practice to
consolidate the new self.
So the next stage
is to allow it to mature.
That maturing is what
they call fermentation;
you’re maturing
that new sense of self.
After you reach
a certain level of maturing,
you go out into the world
and you are met
with new challenges,
and things that
can reflect back to you,
where there’s still some
refinement to be done.
So there’s more of a subtle
level of refinement and
purification and allowing
that new self
to distill and to
really become more pure.
And part of that has to do
with walking the talk
and living in integrity
with the new beliefs
and so forth.
Ultimately, after many,
many rounds of that
purification and distilling
of that new sense of self,
you will come
to the congealing of it.
It is integrated
as a part of who you are.
You don’t have to
be consciously trying to
strive towards something
anymore. It’s just you.
When
Science and Spirituality
returns, Dr. Theresa Ibis
will provide examples of
how she applies alchemy
in her work.
Please stay tuned
to Supreme Master
Television.
Welcome back to
Science and Spirituality,
where Dr. Theresa Ibis
is discussing
how she applies alchemy,
the ancient science
and philosophy
of transformation,
to her work.
My work with alchemy,
for the most part, has
been in the spiritual realm,
to help people not only
to improve
their spiritual life,
but to improve their lives
in general
at a real, practical level.
Taking those principles
and applying them
into life, applying them
into your job, and
into your relationships,
and into your own
personal growth.
I have also done work
with creating herbal elixirs
and working
the alchemy processes
on plants and so forth.
My aim is
to ultimately bring
the alchemical process into
laboratory-type research,
not just for working with
herbs to create medicines,
but for really bringing in
scientific research guided
by alchemical principles
and methods.
I think that
using these methods
we can really start
to take our technologies
to a level that is more
holistic, more sustainable,
more beneficial,
and create new ways
to tap into the energy
that is all around us,
in the vacuum, and
bring that energy forward
in a way that
can help us to “unpeg”
from the oil dependency
that we have.
Dr. Ibis says that like her,
many others
around the world are
also working to advance
society and science
through alchemy.
We had the (International)
Alchemy Conference
last October (2009).
We had
Dr. (Masaru) Emoto,
Don Miguel Ruiz
and Nassim Haramein.
We had
really amazing people
come forward to speak
and to share from
the different approaches
how that process
of transformation
is being applied, whether
it’s in individual lives or
at a scientific level, and
how we can become aware
of where we’re really
at this amazing time
on the planet.
We’re at this event horizon
of making
another big leap forward
in our scientific theories
and how we relate to or
apply those into our lives,
and the paradigms
that we embrace
for what we’re here for,
and what role we play in
the grand scheme of things:
Are we separate
or are we connected?
Is it just
a materialistic world
or is there this side
where we actually have
an active role to play
in how things manifest?
Through high-resolution
photographs
of frozen water crystals
Dr. Emoto has shown
that prayer, blessings
and strong feelings
physically change
the crystalline structure
of water molecules.
And since the human body
is largely composed
of water, Dr. Emoto’s
fascinating discovery
implies that our thoughts
and emotions
have a direct impact
on our overall health.
I think that Dr. Emoto has
done an amazing thing
for the planet
to just bring awareness
and some form
of visual representation
of how energy
really does translate itself
into the patterns
that we see in nature,
and into the way that
macroscopic things grow,
like the water.
And how water
really holds memory
and is very receptive and
susceptible to the energy
that it is exposed to.
I think that he’s done
an amazing job, because
we’re 70% water, and
our Earth is 70% water.
If we can start becoming
more conscious
of how our energy
and our thoughts
affect that water,
affect us, it’s great.
Dr. Ibis would like to
re-direct the current course
of scientific thinking
so that all research
is done with a pure,
noble purpose in mind.
I have a lot of admiration
for those scientists
who have the bravery, the
courage, to branch away
from the mainstream
and the pressure
of credibility within that
mainstream of science,
and really pursue
what they believe
is a path with heart
and something that
can really help humanity
in a more holistic
and sustainable way.
Like many of us,
Dr. Ibis clearly
sees the great potential
of young people
to follow pioneering
new paths in the sciences
that can uplift our world.
In the younger generations,
the people who are going
through the system now
and being educated
in science,
I’ve definitely seen more
open-mindedness, more
interest in other areas.
The younger generations
of scientists
are not as willing
to just put the blinders on
and go into
the tunnel vision mode.
They like diversity.
They have many different
interests, and I think
that diversity is leading
towards more and more
inter-disciplinary work
and collaboration
and more openness
to alternative ideas.
Through their devotion
to working for
the betterment of humanity,
Dr. Theresa Ibis and other
broad-minded researchers
are introducing
their fellow scientists
to fresh, new ways
of viewing humankind
and the Universe.
We applaud
Dr. Ibis’ goal of uniting
the timeless philosophy
and spiritual discipline
of alchemy with modern
science, and thank her
for taking the time
to speak with us
about her thoughtful work.
