45. Spiritual cultivation is a process of internal alchemy. In other words, we refine ourselves through different exercises and practices that transform our course energy into high energy. This helps maintain our health so that we do not over-rely on nutrition or food. Things such as food and blood transfusions cannot be perfectly controlled, so self-control is a more important and more highly refined art, especially compared to the art of cooking or the art of a great laboratory.
By exercising and practicing self-control, you create the necessary “medicine” through your own self-refinement. At the same time, by reading invocations you instruct your internal faculties. You engage in the refinement of your soul in order to live an independent spiritual life without returning to the cage of the body and the confinement of the material sphere.
The entire world has gradations. In other words, evolution is a series of gradations from the course material sphere to the refined and highly free spiritual sphere of life. Internal work follows the same path as universal evolution. Universal evolution is a common natural process for all people, but the result is uncertain, because most people’s will is directed only toward things at the worldly level, not toward immortal life.
47. No medicine can really make you live forever, but the greatest medicine with which you are naturally endowed is your reproductive strength of force, which includes your mental force and your spiritual power.
Most people do not see or accept that the mind is a power and that each thought is a form of energy, so they waste a lot of thoughts on negative things which are unproductive or fruitless.
There is a spiritual reality much more subtle than the mind. But if you do not understand the mind, how can you understand the spirit? Only after self-awareness has been attained can you become aware of another, higher sphere.
The three internal spheres of medicine are more potent than anything that can be discovered in a laboratory. These three internal spheres are the healthy power issued by your brain, your heart and your kidneys (reproductive system).
External medicine can cost a lot of money, but it does not really help your life. You have to help your own life by yourself. You have to refine what nature endowed you with, and you have to do it by yourself. This internal medicine is not patented, and you cannot make money out of it, but you can achieve everlasting-life from it. You don’t need to pay $120 for anyone to prescribe it for you, like you would for a skin rash. You do it yourself. By yourself, you achieve yourself.

Water element and the virtue of Wisdom
Wisdom is symbolized by Water and represented by the planet Mercury,
which is positioned most closely to the light of the sun. Water is
flexible and cannot be deterred from reaching its final destination. A
person who can learn the virtue of water will be close to the virtue of
wisdom. Many young men and women suffer self-inflicted emotional wounds,
as a result of the obstacles they create in their lives. As they become
older and wiser, they may become able to see their own warlike behavior
and chose to put an end it through spiritual cultivation. This is not an
escape, but a decision to face the reality of life and learn from it,
rather than fight it.
