with the manifested creation and dissolve oneself, but to build up a vehicle in which the fullness of the Self can be experienced permanently, even while living in the physical world. This body of immortality corresponds to what the Christian tradition has called the glorious body and to the paramam vapuḥ of the Upanishads. It is similar in many ways, if not identical, to the lapis philosophorum or philosophers' stone of the alchemists, and to the Grail, heart of the western esoteric tradition.
Awakening the Third Eye lays the foundations for an experiential approach to a work of inner alchemy. Many of the techniques given in the beginning are not to be regarded as 'alchemical' in a strict sense, but as a necessary preparation without which the more advanced phases of the work would not make any sense. Rather than first developing theoretical aspects at length, indications will gradually be given throughout this book and the following ones to clarify the purposes and principles of a work of inner alchemy. The nature of our topic will also provide ample opportunities to develop various aspects related to subtle bodies.
