This is the second talk I gave on The Emerald Tablet.  In this talk I expand on what I had covered earlier in terms of polarity and geometry.  The main area of focus of this talk is how the Seven Stages of Alchemy come out of The Emerald Tablet and, most importantly, how we can understand these phases and move through them in our every day lives.

This is a visual depiction of The Seven Stages known as Azoth of the Philosophers:

In this second I cover is how to work with the seven stages as a map  as well as two big obstacles to completing a process, attachment and aversion.

Here is the recording of the talk:
