Spiritual Science: How Alchemy Can Change Our Lives
Alchemy is an ancient practice, ridden with mystery and secrecy…until now. While popularized by the medieval scientific quest to turn lead into gold, its practices and customs stretch far beyond these parameters.
Alchemy’s focus, as a practice, revolves around metals, and the innate belief that they grow inside the earth and when found, were merely young and transformable forms of gold. Today, this has been scientifically disproven. Yet, to this day, the spiritual alchemist practice lives on.
Why?
The transformation of alchemy from the materialistic scientific realm to the spiritual arena.
Alchemy’s psycho-spiritual foundation is grounded in the curious transcendent worldview that everything, inanimate or living, enfolds a universal spirit. This accessible and simple cornerstone has proven to stand the test of time.
Alchemy’s Scientific and Spiritual History
Historically, alchemy’s roots are multifaceted; spanning across the entire globe in one capacity or another. The word’s denotation, in and of itself, holds unique meaning to countries and ancestries across the globe: “chem,” meaning black, as representative of the alluvial soils that border the Nile River and “chyma” meaning to cast or fuse metals in Greek.
Its comprehensive meaning is attributable to Arabic, referred to as “al kimia.” While its historical origins are geographically diverse, ancient alchemist ventures are all founded on a unified thought: the man-made scientific ability to transform nature. This often manifested itself in scientific experimental ventures to transform basic element, like lead, into anew, often gold.
