Elias speaks in Session 3021 about the differences between a magician, an energy artist and an alchemist. He mentions also the magician who is working with tricks. I know that they are called magicians but illusionist would be the better term. I published already another excerpt of this very intereting session here...

Elias: A magician is an individual that perceives very similarly to yourselves, therefore strives to create an event, tricks. The magician is not actually generating manipulation of energy, per se, to reconfigure it, but is generating an action that is designed to fool the senses of the individual’s audience, therefore creating what you term to be an illusion and that being what you recognize as magic.

An energy artist is more attuned to manipulation of energy, not necessarily the manipulation of things or objects, but more of the manipulation of directions, which can also be configured in a manner of magic in a similar manner to a magician — not necessarily reconfiguring actual objects but manipulating energy in a manner to redirect it or reconfigure it, and in doing so influencing perception.

An energy artist would also incorporate the ability to influence other individuals’ perceptions by connecting with the other individuals’ energy, even a collective energy, and redirecting that to create a different perception of a situation or even perhaps of an object, therefore somewhat influencing your senses, again in a different manner from a magician, but in a manner that would alter your perception of a situation or an object. Therefore, you would configure it differently yourself. Therefore, that individual could manipulate the energy to influence you to be viewing a vase and influence you to reconfigure your perception and your energy, and the vase may appear to you to be a toy.

This is an actual reconfiguration of energy, for the individual is coupling their energy with your energy and therefore influencing it, in a manner of speaking, in a manner that alters your perception. Therefore, you create a different object, and the object does change, but you are not aware that you are changing it, objectively. You are focused in your attention upon the direction of the energy artist and what they are doing in their manipulation of energy. Therefore, you are not necessarily objectively aware of how they are influencing you to change your perception and therefore change the object. Which is an interesting trick, for you are actually generating a form of magic, for you are changing the object, therefore reconfiguring the molecular structure and the energy of that object, for you perceive it differently.

An alchemist is different. Alchemy is a subject of fascination and has been throughout the ages. There are very, very few individuals that actually allow themselves to achieve this action of alchemy. It is very real. It can be accomplished, [and] it has been accomplished in your physical reality. It is different from the other two in that the alchemist is focused upon physical reality. The alchemist can manipulate energy but is more focused upon altering and reconfiguring actual physical manifestations, and can actually accomplish that.

For the most part, most alchemists employ different engagements of ritual, which they believe is a spiritual addition which offers them the so-called power to achieve what they are manipulating physically. Therefore, many alchemists move in considerable lengths to develop different rituals that they can attribute to any particular power, so to speak, which in actuality is a focal point. Whatever ritual they choose and develop is an action of preparation and engagement as a manner to focus their attention in a particular way. When they do that, they allow themselves to relax those very strong beliefs in certain aspects of your reality — not suspend them but relax them — to a point that allows them to focus their energy in a manner that they can actually manipulate physical manifestations.

These physical manifestations generate a rather narrow range, but that is not for the reason that they are limited to a narrow range, but more so that the alchemists themselves are generally focused in a narrow range of subjects that they are interested in manipulating: one being immortality, one being in affecting certain elements to reconfigure them in physical form to enhance power, to enhance wealth, and one being to generate physical aspects of reality that they believe will influence other individuals in relation to their own desires, therefore creating individuals to do their bidding. These are the main subjects that most alchemists incorporate an interest in, for they appear to be the most impossible to achieve, and therefore, they are the greater prize.

In this, an alchemist differs from the other two in that they actually do achieve manipulating physical reality in these manners, not necessarily to generate actual immortality but a close proximity to what you would term to be immortality, therefore extending their existence span within physical focus to considerable lengths, and it has occurred. Even in some of your stories that you have passed through generations, biblical stories, although they are stories there are aspects of correctness or accurateness in them, and in that, some of your biblical stories of extreme longevity actually occurred.

There are alchemists that do not change lead into gold but that do manipulate physical reality in such a manner to enhance wealth and to create that, and they have been successful.

I would express that an actual alchemist is exceptionally rare. For to achieve these types of actions within physical reality, especially without information and an objective understanding of reality, it requires a considerable relaxing of beliefs and a considerable openness to what may be possible although it seems impossible. This is a quality that is almost a requirement for an alchemist to generate that action of allowance to move beyond the absoluteness of what is perceived, which is the reason that their ritual is very significant, for that is what they perceive to give them the power to actually employ these action — but they are successful.

It has not occurred other than perhaps two exceptions within your modern time framework, in a manner of speaking. Therefore, I would express within a time framework of the previous two hundred of your years to now, it has occurred twice. But alchemists are also very protective and secretive of their power, so to speak, and are very unlikely to be sharing their information or their discoveries, for they generally become, in your terms, quite greedy in relation to what they can accomplish and do not want to share their secrets with other individuals. For this reason, you are unaware of their existence or their accomplishments, and even those that you may be aware of you dismiss as fantasy or legend, that the individuals did not actually exist.

One among you that you may be, in this modern time, familiar with [and] who was, to an extent, successful was an individual of the physical naming of Nicolas Flamel, who is an actual individual — or was, in your terms — and was actually very actively involved in the discovery and development of alchemy and to an extent was somewhat successful in several directions: one in generating a considerable increase in wealth, but was also successful in being quite secretive with that, and also extension of existence within this physical reality, far beyond what you would identify as a normal age for an individual to exist within your reality. Therefore, I would express that this individual was considerably successful in his endeavors. That would be an example of a relatively recent individual.
