How to manifest light for spiritual regeneration in our dark age of technological materialism• Explores the significance of light in spiritual life—drawing on the esoteric tradition of alchemy—to transcend materialism and seed new cultures rooted in perennial wisdom• Examines ideas from Western mysticism, Tibetan Buddhism, and other traditions to show how spiritual alchemy is a path to transformation and regeneration• By working with spiritual images, shows how to advance spiritual evolution and heal from artificial culture by learning to separate illusion from realityThis book weds contemporary lightwork and classical, transformative alchemy to offer a path to achieving spiritual evolution. Examining the contradictions of modern times through the concept of the “end of an age,” Arthur Versluis reveals how to transcend materialism and create new cultures of light rooted in perennial wisdom.Versluis considers the ramifications of the materialism that separates us from nature. Modern technology may seem to point toward endless progress but, without a spiritual orientation, this progress is an illusion. While some may fall into pessimism, Versluis shows that seeds of light are present in the darkness.Exploring the tradition of alchemy through the Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus, the Grail tradition, and other esoteric works, Versluis shows how we can achieve psychological and spiritual transformation. He explains how lightwork is at the heart of how to wake up and experience a regeneration of self and a reconnection to the Earth. He includes alchemical images for visualization practices to help us awaken to deeper truths, see beyond the veil of illusion, and transcend an illusory sense of self.Alchemical Lightwork provides the perennial wisdom that shows how we can seed new cultures to recover our humanity, achieve self-realization, and improve the world at large.

“There are books that capture the longings and hopes of a pivotal era in history and give them a form that catalyzes collective change. Alchemical Lightwork may well fill that role for our time. Combining the contemporary spiritual movement of lightwork with the wisdom of classical alchemical texts, this book offers a path out of the darkness of our ‘enlightened’ dark age toward individual and collective spiritual regeneration.”
