# Transmutation There are unchangeable and changeable parts of yourself. The unchangeable part is called your soul, Atman, essence. It is immortal. It cannot die. Because it is what gives you life and does not change. The same is true for the world. As above, so below. When the unchangeable part departs from the changeable part, it enters into another changeable thing. Until you become gold from lead. Gold means the fixed points of changeable things under transformations. Becoming gold is called Henosis. The unity. Today marks the death of this year. And the birth of a new year. A change in clothes. We transmute until Henosis. The solstice will happen.
