In Dr. Martin Erdmann’s book The Spiritualization of Technology: The Quest for Human Perfection (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spiritualizatio...B0BLYHPHB3), alchemy represents a historical and philosophical undercurrent where rational scientific ambition degrades into mysticism and the occult during humanity's quest for autonomy and self-divinization. [1]
## Key Connections to Alchemy in the Book

* The Quest for Human Divinity: The book traces modern transhumanist and technological perfectionism back to ancient roots like Hermeticism, Gnosticism, and Neoplatonism, which viewed human divinization as the ultimate goal.
* From Reason to the Occult: Erdmann argues that when science breaks away from biblical boundaries to pursue boundless utopian control over nature, rational inquiry ironically twists into subjective irrationalism—manifesting historically through alchemy and the occult.
* Historical Figures: The text examines how famous thinkers (such as Isaac Newton) mixed rigorous scientific/mathematical work with esoteric pursuits like alchemy and subversions of traditional theology.
* The Critique of Posthumanity: Alchemy and occultism serve as historical precursors to today’s techno-scientific ambitions, where altering human nature through nanotechnology or genetic engineering mirrors the alchemical desire to transcend mortal limitations. [1, 2]

The correct way to pronounce this important word, and something about its place in alchemical art.

"The Mutus Liber — “Mute Book” — is a work of few words. Most appear on its first plate, where we are told that the book’s author, “Altus”, has created “hieroglyphic figures” to illustrate the “hermetic philosophy”. They hover over a sleeping Jacob, dreaming of the angels on the ladder of heaven, one of whom is attempting to wake him with his trumpet. This is a biblical scene, but, for those in the know, it also provides keys to the secret of the Philosopher’s Stone, the mythical substance that could turn lead into gold."

An Esoteric Index of the Magnum Opus and Sacred Chemistry 

"Alchemy is neither an archaic precursor to mechanical chemistry nor an idle pursuit of worldly riches, but the sacred architecture of universal transmutation. From the smoldering sands of Ptolemaic Alexandria to the nocturnal hearths of medieval adepti, the Royal Art has operated upon a single, unshakeable axiom: that the macrocosmic order of the heavens is mirrored within the obscure subterranean recesses of human flesh. To liberate gold from the dark encumbrance of terrestrial ore is to awaken the slumbering solar spark entombed within mortal frailty. In this comprehensive scholarly compendium, Lux Esoterica establishes a permanent encyclopedic index for the alchemical investigations preserved within our archive, detailing the severe progression of the Great Work, the primordial triad of the Tria Prima, the planetary hierarchy of metals, and the sublime realization of the Philosopher’s Stone."

"During Antiquity, glass is understood as a metal. Then during the Middle Ages, crushed glass is regarded as a purifying agent, necessary for the
alchemy process. It is also highly commanded as the perfect container (alembic, urinal), despite the actual use in workshops of earthenware
or metal vessels by the alchemists. But it is certainly its manufacturing process, i.e. the transformation of simple elements (sand, ashes) into
glass that seems to fascinate the alchemists. It is a model for “The Sacred Art”, the ultimate proof that the transmutation of lead into
gold is possible. Sedacer, a 14th century alchemist ranks it even as high as the philosopher’s stone."
