“Real philosophy seeks rather to solve than to deny. While we hear, every day, the small pretenders to science talk of the absurdities of alchemy and the dream of the Philosopher’s Stone, a more erudite knowledge is aware that by alchemists the greatest discoveries in science have been made, and much which still seems abstruse, had we the key to the mystic phraseology they were compelled to adopt, might open the way to yet more noble acquisitions.”

"Ralph Metzner first wrote about alchemy when he was in his early 30s. He included a chapter on alchemy in his book Maps of Consciousness, which was published in 1971. In the latter few years of his life he recorded his thoughts on some 36 alchemical terms. Over an arc of some 50 years, Ralph worked on the practice of using alchemical processes for inner transformation. This volume of alchemical musings combines his earliest writing on alchemy with his last writings on alchemical terms. Explore the alchemical musings and metaphors in this volume that bookends his adult lifetime. This collection of musings is an alchemical transmutation of his lifelong opus into gold."

"Alchemical Process"

"I like to think of some of my paintings as something akin to Yantras, which are visual devices used in meditation and healing (in Ayurveda for example). These Yantras are employed to fix the gaze on a central point (called the bindu), and practice seeing and engaging with a field emanating around that point. It’s a way also to practice a kind of “seeing” which is expansive, receiving, and tends to be free from “attachment” to what is seen. I like to think of this series of paintings called Alchemical Process Abstract in a similar way, as a kind of meditation device. They are also meant to depict a dynamic process of alchemical transformation, starting with the material prima (the chaotic swirl of colors compressed in the upper chamber) and arriving at the philosopher’s stone, or the “gold". And as the Alchemists warned, "Aurum Nostrum Non Est Aurum Vulgi" (Our Gold is not common Gold)."

"Theory and practice for making spagyrics ( herbal alchemical elixirs) according to medieval alchemist Paraculsus. Spagyrics were the precurser to homeopathy. Samuel Hahnemann used many alchemical principles in the Organon where he defines homeopathy and gives clear instructions on practice."
