You will become the crucible of transmutation when you are completely and utterly in touch with the core of your own emptiness. At the exact moment you will understand that everything comes from that emptiness and by being at one with the emptiness you will be able to transmute all things that come from it, for you will be able to shape the emptiness into what ever form you wish it to take. For you will understand the relationship of emptiness to form.

That is the pure state of the Alchemist.
