01604	Metzner, Ralph Actualism and Inner Alchemy	$11.95	Alchemy is a metaphor for personal transformation. Metzner shows how it can be applied as a working, practical system. He introduces Actualism, a Western practice based on Agni Yoga - the yoga of fire - as a usable tool for channeling energy to dissolve blocks in consciousness, thereby enacting alchemical transformation. This is the symbolism and the mythology of bringing fire to earth - the Prometheus myth - the myth of the light-bringer, the fire-bringer that you find in every culture. - 1978 Esalen - One Audiotape

40015	Hoeller, Stephan Secret Roots Of Alchemy	$11.95	Because of C. G. Jung, we have an entirely different view of alchemy than our predecessors did a century ago. Jung believed the primal link to the world of the unconscious had been lost until, in 1926, he dreamt that alchemy served as this bridge. Further research led to discoveries of inks between Gnosticism, alchemy, and archetypes of the unconscious. In this talk, Gnostic scholar Hoeller details Jung's explorations, and elaborates on methods alchemists and Gnostics use to bring about psychological and spiritual transformation. - 1985 Esalen - One Audiotape
