The Process of Calcination

The podcast explores the concept of calcination, which is the first step in the alchemical process. Calcination involves burning away the dross or impurities within oneself through the application of heat and concentration. It is a process of breaking down the false ego or tyrant king that often stems from childhood and hijacks the true self or capital E ego. By burning away the facade of the ego, one can experience a release of heaviness and rise up with the flames, allowing for personal growth and evolution of consciousness.
