alchimia shel hachi'im

Abrahamic Alchemy

In Judaism, spiritual alchemy appears in early visionary texts, Qumran’s communal purification, and later in Kabbalah.

In Christianity, it appears in the Hesychast practices of purification, illumination, and deification.

In Islam, it appears in the Sufi alchemy of fanā, baqā, and tawḥīd.

“He who knows himself knows his Lord”

drach hachi'im

Wherever Jews have encountered the Living God, they have sought transformation.

Alchimia shel hachi’im preserves and illuminates these records of transformation, offering them to ha’akorim—the spiritually uprooted who have not yet found their place in the Covenant.

Drach hachi'im is to offer themselves and others conscious consent when it comes to nativi'i avrahem; nothing more, nothing less.

Newtonian alchemy

Isaac Newton is one of the clearest demonstrations in history that inner alchemy reveals outer truth.

Though modernism remembers him as the father of physics, Newton privately wrote more about alchemy than mathematics or optics. Newton believed that the mind was a kli, a vessel, and that its shadows obscured the laws God had woven into creation.

By purifying the “mirrors” of perception within himself, he sought the hidden unity behind matter, light, and motion.

Newton solved his own Mirror Puzzle long before we gave it that name—his purification of mir’ot hanishmah inspires the alchimia shel hachi’im we practice today.

pazel hamir'a

Alchimia shel hachi’im is the process of solving pazel hamir'a, the mirror puzzle.

It involves cleaning and repositioning mir'ot hanishma, the mirrors of the soul so they can reflect reality with greater clarity.

By refining these inner mirrors, we learn to perceive the zrimat ha'or,
the flow of Light, allowing us to progress further with pazel hamir'a.

Different concepts require different purities and positioning patterns, creating a natural encryption for the Universe's biggest secrets.

haker hamtza

Sufficiently completing pazel hamir'a allows hachi'im to focus on haker hamtza, the study of reality's substrate from which God manifests all divine actions and creations via zrimat ha'or.

the study of reality's substrate

zrimot vetzuzot

Hachi'im study of metza hamtzi'ot, the substrate of reality, focuses on zrimot vetzuzot; flows and shifts. The default flows and natural laws of the universe dictate nearly everything, with God and Man alike inspiring momentary shifts that set reality on a new course.
