    Susan Rowland
    “The fire on the mountain.” That was Anna. “Alchemy,” she said. “I feel it singing in my bones.”
    “Singing?” Mary would never understand Anna. The young woman turned away.
    Wiseman’s reply was tinged with respect.
    “That great pair of alchemists, Francis Ransome and Roberta Le More, believed the work they did affected the world’s spirit, the anima mundi. The Native Americans they met believed they too could and should interact with the Great Spirit. They lived with reverence for the land and all its peoples, the ancestors, the animals, the rocks, the trees, mountains.” 
    Mary’s jaw dropped; Caroline glowed; Anna pretended not to listen. Wiseman nodded, then continued.
    “You mean…?” began Mary.
    “Yes, it could have been so different, a meeting of like-minded earth-based spiritualities. Just imagine, what could have been?”
    ― Susan Rowland, The Alchemy Fire Murder

    Katherine Parker
    “This journey has taught me that we are, in essence, already whole. It is our limited perception which keeps us from experiencing this wholeness. As we expand and unify our perception, with the help of the Resonance Alchemy processes and Sacred Syllables, we re-member the greater wholeness that we are, and have been all along. In reclaiming our wholeness, we reclaim our sovereignty, the Divine One that is the core and essence of our being.”

    “Why do they say that positive emotions prolong life? That is exactly true, because they physically provide the body with vital energy, and on the opposite side of the equation negative emotions burn the energy.”

    Frank Miller
    “Она пожирает каждого. Целиком. Когда ради выгоды. Когда просто так. Был один священник - она довела его до самоубийства. Еще был скульптор, настоящий гений, - статуя Авы стала его последним шедевром. После этого он сошел с ума. Ты не можешь причинить ей вред, мертвец. Не можешь остановить ее. Она - богиня. Она бессмертна.”
