  The Physical Reality of Ancient Vimana Flying Machines
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-09-2026, 01:04 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

Off-topic but interesting.

" While Western archaeologists dismiss the Vedic texts as poetic hyperbole, the Vimanika Shastra remains a technical manual for a reality that defies the internal combustion engine. These are not merely myths of the sky. They are descriptions of a sophisticated, techno magical aviation that operated millions of years before the first Wright brother left the ground."

  Artist: Karena Karras
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-09-2026, 12:54 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Karena Karras was born in Chicago and has lived there for most of her life. She graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her paintings clearly reference the imagery and style of those of Remedios Varo and Leonora Carrington. Karena became a close friend of the surrealist painter Leonora Carrington when Carrington resided in Oak Park, Illinois, in the late 1980s."

  Sergey Maratovich Teleguin
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-09-2026, 12:46 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - Replies (1)

Sergey Maratovich Teleguin (born January 1, 1964) is a Russian scholar, a Doctor of Philological Sciences, and a professor known for his work in literary criticism, philosophy, and an approach he developed called "mythorestoration". He is noted for his application of mythology and aesthetics to literary analysis, particularly through the lens of alchemical symbolism. 

Key Concepts and Works

    Mythorestoration: Teleguin's primary method involves uncovering and revitalizing the underlying mythical structures within literary texts to facilitate deeper interpretation.
    Alchemy and Literature: He explores alchemy not merely as a proto-science, but through mythology, aesthetics, and its personal, symbolic experimentation.

His major publications, some of which have been translated into multiple languages, include:

    Alchemy of Birds: On the Other Side of the Word
    The Alchemy of the Magic Word
    Mythology of Eastern Slavs
    Philosophy of Myth: Introduction to the Method of Mythorestoration

Teleguin's works and methods have been published in numerous countries, including Spain, Colombia, the United States, and the Czech Republic.

Sergey M. Teleguin's new book is devoted to alchemy. It differs from many books about alchemy published recently. Its main merit is that this book is not "about alchemy", but in the true sense of alchemy. Its author not only studied alchemical treatises, but also participated in alchemical experiments. The book is written on the basis of personal impressions obtained in the experiments with alchemical mirrors and the experience known as "dissolving the body of the King in a bloody font". This book has been translated with Artificial Intelligence.

  Podcast: The Way of the Bodhisattva - Alchemical Medicine
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-09-2026, 12:37 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"While a Mahayana text, The Way of the Bodhisattva encodes tantric teachings about harnessing the creative sexual energy. Literally the seminal force in Tibetan Buddhist tantric texts, bodhichitta is the power of awakening enlightened compassion through selfless love, especially within a perfect matrimony. In other words, bodhichitta is the power of ennobled or chaste sexuality, whereby dense desires are transformed into unlikely and impactful virtues: generosity, altruism, ethics, patience, diligence, concentration, meditative serenity, and wisdom, otherwise known as the paramitas or perfections of a genuine spiritual master. It is also the fuel by which real faith is generated—the direct spiritual experience of divine, ultimate reality—which inspires any initiate to serve and sacrifice for humanity."

  Wiki: Agathodaemon
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-09-2026, 12:33 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Agathodaemon (Ancient Greek: Ἀγαθοδαίμων, Agathodaímōn; c. 300) was an alchemist in late Roman Egypt, known only from fragments quoted in medieval alchemical treatises, chiefly the Anepigraphos, which refer to works of his believed to be from the 3rd century. He is primarily remembered for his various descriptions of elements and minerals, most particularly his descriptions of a method of producing silver, and of a substance he had created, which he called a 'fiery poison', and which, judging by his account, was arsenic trioxide, a highly toxic amphoteric oxide."

  IFS: Free Emerald Tablet Course
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-09-2026, 12:20 PM - Forum: News - Meeting - Events - No Replies

IFS = Internal Family Systems

"The Emerald Tablet is one of the most compact and influential texts in the Western esoteric tradition and also one of the most misunderstood. Often quoted, rarely read slowly, it is not a spell, a code, or a promise of supernatural power. It is a map of perception. Rather than offering beliefs to adopt, the Emerald Tablet presents a sequence of principles meant to train the mind in clarity, accuracy, and transformation. Its language is symbolic, but its concern is practical: how reality moves, how consciousness participates in that movement, and how distortion prevents true change. This free course explores the Emerald Tablet through the text itself, historical context, and a lens thoughtfully informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS). It is not therapy, and it does not replace alchemy, metaphysics, or the Hermetic tradition. It is designed for readers who want to engage the Tablet as a discipline of seeing one that begins with honesty and unfolds toward integration."

"This guide will decode the relationship between the thermodynamics of silver and its role as the Alchemical Albedo, proving that the magic of the ancients was often just physics they had not yet named."
