				"For over six centuries, the Voynich Manuscript has defied codebreakers, linguists, mathematicians, and mystics. Its pages are filled with strange symbols, impossible plants, and cosmic diagrams that no one has ever understood—until now. In this The Secret Bible investigation, artificial intelligence dives deep into the manuscript’s hidden patterns: linguistic fractals, sacred proportions, acoustic resonances, and celestial maps. Could this ancient book be a coded medical treatise, an alchemical map of the universe… or a message meant to be unlocked only by a non-human mind? Join us as AI reveals secrets that may change how we see history, consciousness, and the very nature of knowledge itself."

				"In 1382, a Parisian scribe named Nicolas Flamel claimed he turned mercury into gold. He recorded the exact date and time: January 17th, at noon. Three months later, he did it again. And suddenly, this middle-class bookseller became mysteriously wealthy—so wealthy that he built hospitals, funded churches, and constructed houses that still stand in Paris today. His house at 51 Rue de Montmorency is the oldest in Paris, covered in alchemical symbols no one has decoded. His grave was found empty centuries after his death. And for over 600 years, people have reported seeing him alive—in Paris, in India, at the opera in 1761, always the same age."

| Conium maculatum (hemlock) in Ayurveda |

				" In medieval Europe, alchemists occasionally referenced hemlock extracts for muscle spasms, though the line between remedy and poison was perilously thin. Curiously, despite its toxicity, some 16th-century Renaissance herbalists experimented with tiny seed infusions for tremor relief, believing that highly diluted doses might calm the nervous system. Such uses were often recorded in compendia like John Gerard’s "Herball" (1597), though warnings against oral ingestion were prominent. In Ayurvedic manuscripts from the 17th century, scribes in Bengal noted that Conium maculatum was not part of mainstream “Dhanvantari samhita” tradition but occasionally referenced in peripheral texts as a herb of last resort for severe rheumatic pain—used only after lengthy detox processes."

				Soma siddhas and alchemical enlightenment: psychedelic mushrooms in Buddhist traditionS Hajicek-Dobberstein
 Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 1995•Elsevier
 
 
 "In the legendary biographies of some Buddhist adepts from the 2nd- and 9th-centuries there are some clues which can be interpreted to reveal that the adepts were consuming psychedelic Amanita muscaria, ‘fly agaric’, mushrooms to achieve enlightenment. This secret ingredient in the alchemical elixir they used to attain ‘realization’ was, of course, unnamed, in keeping with their vows to maintain the secrecy of their practices. Its identity was concealed behind a set of symbols, some of which appeared in the Soma symbol system of the Rg Veda, some other symbols possibly passed down from a time of earlier shamanic use of the mushroom in the forests of Northern Eurasia, and some symbols that may be unique to these Buddhist legends. The congruity of these sets of symbols from Northern and Southern Asian traditions will be shown to be reflected in the Germanic tradition in some characteristics of the Oldest God, Odin."

				"This is not a simple history course, but an immersion in the art that unites science and mysticism. You will learn to decipher the arcane language of alchemical symbolism: the union of King and Queen, the dance of Sulfur and Mercury. From ancient alchemical laboratories to the practice of Spagyric Medicine, you will discover how the Adepts sought not only to transmute vile into gold (Fornello Alchemy), but also to distill the very essence of life for an elixir of long life. At the end of the journey, you will understand how the search for the Philosopher's Stone is, in fact, the most powerful metaphor for human enlightenment and spiritual transformation. Your crucible awaits you."
