Mental Alchemy

In spite of your many sorceries, in spite of the great power of your spells. . . evil will come on you which you will not know how to charm away.

Isaiah 47:9,11

It is now recognized by most researchers who have studied the exploding revival of mysticism that the Western world has its own witch doctors. They wear business suits, clerical collars, or white smocks, and many of them have M.D., D.D., or Ph.D. degrees. Nearly all claim that what they believe and practice is truly scientific; and many deny the existence of God, Satan, angels, or demons as independent entities. As a result, they attribute the source of the psychic powers to the unlimited human potential that allegedly lies within the unconscious of each of us. Their "mind magic" is powerful and it works. In his introduction to William Fezler's book Just Imagine: A Guide to Materialization Using Imagery, Beverly Hills psychiatrist William S. Kroger says:

As modern day fields of psychology and medicine grow we become more and more amazed at just how much power the mind really does exert. . . . Nowhere in man's writings has it been explained how to imagine something strongly enough to produce a concrete result in reality.

Just Imagine fills this gap. It describes definite ways to structure a new and better reality. The method involves using images. .. that can be developed and embellished in a progression till they influence reality to such an extent that they become reality!

Shamanistic visualization is an attempt to create or manipulate the physical world by the practice of "mental alchemy." It is based upon the ancient sorcerer's belief that the entire universe is an illusion (called maya in Hinduism) created by the mind. Adelaide Bry, one of the leading proponents of shamanistic visualization, describes it as "the deliberate use of the power of your mind to create your own reality. You can use visualization to have whatever you want. ...2 This is the stuff of ancient ritual magic that voodoo priests and witch doctors still use, both for curses and cures, but it is now looked upon as a neutral mind-power included in the alleged unlimited human potential we all possess if we only know how to make it work. New Age activist Laurie Warner explains that this belief runs "through all the literature of the New Age." She explains further:

All the methods of the New Age.. . meditation, yoga, aerobics, ionics, crystallography, nutrition, transactional analysis and many other systems all. . . can be seen as tools for amplifying and transmuting energies . .. [and] release[ing] our innate spiritual potentials.

We are learning that "energy follows thought" and that through inner work of symbolic alchemy and mental programming we can move through altered states of consciousness and experience new interactions with our realities.3

After labeling such beliefs primitive superstition for years, modern man
