I've been thinking a lot about the Treasure in "The Alchemist". I do think it's about the journey, but it's also about the treasure. It's about the fact that the treasure has been there all along - in a place you are so familiar with.
The treasure for me has been about finding myself. Everything I was looking for has been here all the time. The journey has been about searching for that Treasure, buried beneath all of the layers of how I've seen myself. And I guess that's the process of Alchemy - purification, not so much in the sense of seperating good from bad, but taking away the illusion until all that is left is Gold. Going deeper and deeper until you find the whole Universe inside. This is eternal life!
