You can imagine, there's a lot of hostility toward me on the astral levels

I'm here to clean up the place. That's what an alchemist is, a housekeeper for the invisible realms. Nice work if you can get it. But you would require a lot upstairs to get it, and even then you would need to hit the books first. Everyone shits on me, and then I turn it into, ok, well I will try to help you anyway. I understand why you hate me. 

You have to get free of the astral influences and become more attuned to the celestial level. Read the Corpus Hermeticum, people. You don't become immune to the general condition, but you become better. I'm not here to tell you how to live, but I can help with things like overcoming avarice and lust and whatnot. I'm still subject to sloth particularly, but I think, if you check the records, all the problems in history were caused by people who were not being lazy.
