It can definitely accelerate your spiritual development, no matter what path you’re currently on. There’s no deny that you should work along with it to reach those absolute states, Satori, Boddhi and Kensho, and their equivalent in different tongues (there’s always one in every tradition). It’s like having a spiritual/magickal companion along your side, taping on your back whenever you’re down or just off, and a magnet to the needed knowledge. The energetic purification alone is worth it as it has a pouring effect on other areas of your life. Its definitely possible to begin developing those supernatural abilities if you truly work on them, including psychic ones.
Not saying all of such is unattainable without the Alchemist, but by using this powerful tool, you could cut down the required time and the confusion that might arise; and saves you the time from having to go to a cave for such a long time, even though such isolation can be a fantastic tool.
If one’s meant to be an Avatar, then they are - if you’re it, you’re it, there’s no illusion and cycles and so on.
Although, if you were to exclusively listen to something like The Alchemist for such a long period, clearly one would be exhibiting a yearning to liberation to higher truths, in all of their levels, form and shapes. Such person would begin to live the reality of an Alchemist (not necessarily an Alchemist in Hermetic sense, but in accordance to what’s resonating with that person’s mind). I mean, if you’re gonna inject such liberating beliefs into you unconscious mind, its clearly going to start opening its eyes up to energy of that scripting. Unless you deliberately stonewall, resist, build walls around you and holes beneath.
Not true. Some of the littlest acts that one would begin doing such as prayer as you’d fall asleep, simple gratitude and changing your vibration states, that is going into a higher polarity of emotions, would jump start your spirituality, simply because you’ve ceased to associate with the ego as true. Of course, as much energy/effort you invest, the higher the return would be. All of which aids in raising your awareness and consciousness.
