1.2. Volunteering suffering: acceptance of the suffering we are going through.

1.3. Our entire heart, mind, and body (our phyci) must go through purification through these ordeals and we must continue to do this over and over till we reach the essence.

2. What and Why

2.1. To Transmute is to completely change something, originally it means to change lead into gold, to bring an element to its essence "the quintessence"

2.2. The active energy is the quintessences, and we need to awaken the quintessence within us

2.3. To become something new we need to remove what makes us "us" and get back to the essence, to transmute, to become a mutant. We want a conscious mutation.

2.4. We must respond to the pressure that are upon us properly, in order to do this we must transmute ourselves to handle the pressure properly so we can transcend the pressures of our problems.

3. Further Analysis

3.1. Our physical being is made up of all the element, air, fire, water, earth.

3.2. Our Psychology is also encoded within us by the elements but not the physical aspect of the element. They show up through thoughts and feelings.

3.3. We need to transmute these elements, transmute our physical as well as the psychological aspect.

3.4. We need to train ourselves to transcend the ordeals that are given to us by our inner most, these ordeals help us transform the elements within us.

3.5. To transmute the elements we must break them down to the essence, and then rebuild them. (A new heart, a new mind, a new body) (to be healed) (to die and be reborned)

3.6. The master is the one that can accept the issues they face and change themselves to transcend the issue.

3.7. When the elements are transmuted, the light of the inner most can shine through. You would be no longer be "ego you" but the "soul you" that can shine through the body.
