"[Newton]  started pursuing alchemical research from about 1670 and began writing on apocalyptical exegesis from 1672 shortly after his annus mirabilis of 1667 in which he “invented his “fluxions” (the calculus), discovered white light to be compounded of all the distinctly colored rays of the spectrum, and found a mathematical law of gravity, at least in a tentative form.”

"Historians have been revising the contribution made by alchemists to the Scientific Revolution, noting that alchemy was far more than a prelude to the development of modern chemistry. The present study reexamines alchemy's history, beginning with an unusual fifth-dynasty Egyptian painting located in the tomb of Queen Nefertari."

"The Egyptian and Greek tales of antiquity served to hide what the priests of the different religions knew about the Great Work. This is the thesis defended by Antoine Joseph Pernety. Beyond the study of Greek and Egyptian mythology, and the systematic correction of Abbé Banier's assertions on the subject."

"Hermetic alchemy involves using human sexuality and love as tools for spiritual development by transmuting physical matter into refined energy. It was originally reserved for rulers but spread across civilizations. Its true nature was concealed to protect it, leading to misunderstandings like pseudo-sciences of gold-making. Authentic alchemical texts use symbolism and analogy referring to inner erotic practices, not literal laboratory experiments."

The Alchemical Code in Marvell's 'To His Coy Mistress'

LYNDY ABRAHAM

"Amongst the most striking allusions in 'To his Coy Mistress' are those to 'the lovers and the tomb' and to the 'amorous birds of prey', both well known images of the alchemical union of man and woman, and two of the most memorable emblems in the visual representation of the alchemical process."

"Drugs Kept Me Alive is a solo performance choreographed by Jan Fabre,
devoted to a ‘magician of soap’, the HIV-seropositive performer Antony
Rizzi. In this performance, survival, thanks to prescribed medication
and illegal substances, is staged by the performer’s interaction with soapy
water, which demonstrates the alchemical marriage of opposites."

The Roots of a Science of Consciousness in Hermetic Alchemy

Alchemy is not only the origin of systematic experimentation and chemistry but also the first attempt to create a cohesive science of consciousness. Those early philosophers of nature treated mental contents as objective phenomena, and they believed the universal operations used in their laboratories could transform a dark leaden mind into a shining golden one. The Hermetic philosophy behind alchemy taught that our thoughts and feelings are the thoughts and feelings of the whole universe, and that intrinsic perspective generated deep insight into the structure of mind. Alchemists viewed consciousness as a natural force that could be harnessed through a marriage of logic and intuition – a union of objective and subjective realities. Like modern seekers of a unified field theory, alchemists sought one true philosophy of universal principles that were as valid in Nature as they were in their own minds and souls, and in the One Mind of the Cosmos. The resulting cauldron of ideas on mind and matter leads to a truer understanding of the Philosopher’s Stone – not as an object but a state of mind."

"This collection of poems (a 'digital chap-book') by Australian-based poet Ian Irvine (Hobson) experiments with the concept of 'alchemical autobiography' and is thus based upon various stages of 'spiritual alchemy' as augmented by contemporary archetypal-transpersonal psychology."
