  CERN: Alchemy by pure light
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 11-08-2025, 09:56 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"In lead collisions at the LHC, some of the strongest electromagnetic fields in the universe bombard the inside of the beam pipe with radioactive gold. By following the collision fragments, John Jowett explores a little-known link between nuclear physics and the performance limits of heavy-ion colliders."

"The S represents the central synthesis of 7+7=14 combined elements. This is entirely alchemical and hermetic, speaking of a transmutation process."

  The Serpent's Tale
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 11-08-2025, 09:49 AM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"One of the most compelling parts of the prologue is the section on alchemy. Indian and European traditions alike utilize mercury and sulfur as metaphors for spiritual change, the author indicates, but the gendered symbolism of those elements is flipped between cultures, which leads to interpretive clashes-most famously in the lectures that Carl Jung gave on Kuṇḍalinī, wherein he insists that the Indian sources must be wrong about their own symbolism. This anecdote sums up, fairly well, the broader critique of this book: that Western frameworks have too often misread or overwritten indigenous systems of knowing in a search for universal models."

  Alchemy and Verdi's Falstaff
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 11-08-2025, 09:32 AM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"If Falstaff is teacher and the other characters his students, we must ask: what is his pedagogical method? How does transformation occur? The answer lies in the opera’s dramatic structure, which subjects Falstaff to three trials corresponding to the classical elements—water, fire, and earth—while his own essence manifests as the fourth element, air, in the form of laughter that breathes through all trials and ultimately becomes contagious, spreading to all characters in the final fugue."

  The Unity Process
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 11-06-2025, 11:01 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

A heavy-duty blog dealing with an integrative methodology called the Unity Process, which combines the philosophy of Natural Law, the Trivium Method, Socratic Questioning, Jungian shadow work, and Meridian Tapping—into an easy to use system that allows people to process their emotional upsets, work through trauma, correct poor thinking, discover meaning, set healthy boundaries, refine their viewpoints, and to achieve a positive focus.
