Albedo
A Course in Modern Alchemy – Book Two
If Nigredo was the descent into the earth, Albedo is the ascent into the cold, clarifying light of the Moon. This is the stage of purification, washing, and the precise restructuring of the soul.
Albedo moves beyond the raw emotional confrontation of the shadow and invites the seeker into the Crystal Universe—a place where the mechanics of karma, the structure of consciousness, and the architecture of reality are revealed.
In this second volume of Dr. Simon Robinson’s modern alchemy series, the heat of the blackened furnace gives way to the coolness of the White Stone. Here, you are not just clearing trauma; you are dismantling the engine that creates it.
Drawing heavily from the Abhidharma (Buddhist Psychology), Christian Mysticism, and the Western Mystery Tradition, Albedo provides a technical manual for the mind. It explores the nature of the “Anagāmī” (The Non-Returner) and the crossing of the Abyss, offering a guide for those ready to leave the gravity of their old lives behind entirely.
What You’ll Discover Inside Albedo:
- The Mythos: A deep dive into the Seven Deadly Sins, the mechanics of Rebirth, and the cosmology of Hell, Angels, and Gods.
- The Dharma: A rigorous examination of the “Crystal Universe,” detailing the laws of Fate vs. Determinism, the Cognitive Series, and the precise operation of Karma.
- The Object: Confronting the Watcher of the Abyss, the symbolism of the Crucifixion, and the “Death of the Self.”
- The Subject: Practical guidance on navigating the “Dark Night of the Spirit,” the “Prodigal Self,” and the cultivation of the Holy Guardian Angel.
- Advanced Tools: Detailed tables and glossaries mapping the 52 Mental Factors, the stages of Enlightenment, and the realms of existence.
Albedo is not for the passive reader. It is for the alchemist ready to stabilize the reflection, heal the “Fisher-King Wound,” and prepare for the ultimate integration.
