  The Huxleys' Evolutionary Esotericism
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 03-28-2025, 12:30 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"The synthesis of evolutionary theories and esoteric teachings is a significant example of the contact between science and esoterism. The article examines the ideas of British biologist Julian Huxley and his brother Aldous Huxley for their correspondence to the concepts of evolutionary esoterism (E. Profet, V. Hanegraaff, J. Kripple). A distinction between the concepts of ‘evolutionary esoterism’ and ‘evolutionary mysticism’ is introduced. The following ideas are proposed to be the key elements of ‘evolutionary mysticism’: the recognition of the possibility of human transition to a new stage of evolution; the active role of man in evolution and his consideration as an engine of its development; the primacy of mental evolution in relation to physical evolution; the need to develop ‘supernatural abilities’ as a condition of evolution. The correspondence of the project ‘Evolutionary Humanism’ of J. Huxley and O. Huxley's views to the concepts of evolutionary esoterism of E. Profet and J. Krypla is established. The article demonstrates the similarity of the Huxley brothers' views on evolution, in particular their belief in the possibility of group progress through individual self-improvement, and argues for the possibility of studying their ideas about evolution as part of evolutionary esoterism."

  Avicenna's contribution to alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 03-27-2025, 11:58 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"This article provides information on the use of chemical compounds in the preparation of medicines in the works of the great oriental scientist Abu Ali ibn Sino. Abu Ali ibn Sino, a renowned thinker of the East who made a great contribution to the development of chemistry, was one of the founders of medicine, pharmacology and alchemy. Abu Ali al-Hussein ibn Sino was born in 980 in the village of Afshana, near Bukhara. Ibn Sino studied at a Muslim school in Bukhara and then supplemented his education by reading books independently. In particular, he was fond of medicine. As an alchemist, Ibn Sino was familiar with the use of various chemicals for treatment and categorically denied that ordinary metals could be converted to gold and silver."

  Video: What Alchemical Symbols REALLY Mean
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 03-27-2025, 11:28 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Alchemical symbols weren’t just cryptic marks for ancient chemistry—they held powerful spiritual meaning, transformation codes, and forbidden truths hidden from the masses. In this video, we decode what alchemical symbols really mean and why they were cloaked in secrecy. From sulfur and mercury to the philosopher's stone, these symbols represent deep psychological, cosmic, and spiritual forces that still shape hidden knowledge today. This is the esoteric language of inner power—and it was never meant for everyone to understand."
