We will feel very uncomfortable through different stages of the alchemy because some of it's the breakdown and some of it's the like disillusion where you have a lot of emotion come up and some of it's like trying to find clarity, but you got to pick out the pieces of and discern. And then you come to a place where you feel good again.

And it's like, okay, we've gone through the transformation and now we're here, but you're not actually quite fully there, but you're feeling good again. And it's very easy to step back into a comfort zone. And just say, okay, I'm good now. I've been through the ringer and now I'm good. And they sort of stop the process about midway through the alchemical transformation.

To go the final stages, you have to really participate with it. You have to really continue to... to keep the fire under you, if you will, so that you continue to improve and refine and keep digging in deeper and finding those subtle places where the ego still has its attachments and the weeds kind of have their roots and you keep pulling them out until you finally kind of break through into...

The ego is not involved anymore. I mean, you still know who you are, but the ego doesn't have so much attachment. It's like it's surrendered. And then we can move to a higher level of just, I'm here to be a vessel. And I have a unique purpose and a unique way of delivering that essence, if you will. But it's not about the ego anymore.

Yeah. So in my book, The Game Changers, Social Alchemists in the 21st Century, I do this analogy of the caterpillar becoming the butterfly and aligning the metamorphosis stages with the alchemical stages. So the first is like, you have the caterpillar, it's It's feeding off of the leaves and the fat of the land and it's very earthbound. And all it's really doing is feeding.

It's just kind of consuming resources and getting fat. And then at some point, there's like this little timer that goes off inside of its DNA and it says, okay, it's time for a nap. And it goes and it spins itself a chrysalis or the cocoon and it kind of settles in for this nap.

And that's the stage where it goes into the first alchemical stage where in alchemy we call it calcination, which means burning it to ash. But here in this case with the caterpillar, it's not a burning, but it's a dissolving process. where all of the old form of the caterpillar breaks down.
