Writing Reference: Alchemy

Some scholars say alchemy comes from the Greek cheo, meaning “I pour” or “I cast,” since much of alchemy has to do with the working of metals.

But many believe the word comes from the Egyptian Khem, meaning “the black land” (land with black earth), and see that as indicating Egypt as alchemy’s place of origin:

The Arabic article al was added to Khem to give alchemy.

Alchemy is an ancient art, at the heart of which lies the manufacture of a mysterious substance called the Philosopher’s Stone.

Later, as the science (some call it a pseudoscience) progressed, the article was again dropped, to become chemistry.

Alchemy certainly is the early history of chemistry.

The Philosopher's Stone - the highly desirable and legendary object that is said to transform base metals—such as lead—into gold.

However, the gold in this instance symbolizes not just the valuable metal, but enlightenment and eternal life, and Alchemists are concerned with their own spiritual and personal development as well as the pursuit of the seemingly unattainable goal.

The Chinese differentiate these different kinds of alchemy as nei-tan (the alchemy of spiritual transformation) and waitan (the straightforward “lead-into-gold” type).

The motto of the Alchemists is Solve et Coagula, meaning “Solution and Coagulation.”

The work of the early Alchemists was necessarily a secretive and clandestine matter, and its secrets are still held within a rich encrustation of symbols, pictures, oblique references, double meanings, and riddles.

Alchemical symbolism features animals, birds, colors, and parables as well as archetypal symbols such as the Cosmic Egg.

The key tenets of alchemy are encompassed in something called the Smaragdina Tablet, or the Emerald Tablet.

The tablet is said to have been found by Alexander the Great in the tomb of Hermes Trismegistus (Hermes the Thrice Great) who is the founder of all things alchemical.

The Alchemical Tradition exists/existed in Ancient Egypt, China, and India, but its most recent incarnation was in medieval Europe.

Those who dabbled in alchemy include the famous and the infamous, such as John Dee (astrologer to Queen Elizabeth I), Paracelsus, Albertus Magnus, Christian Rosenkreuz, Nicholas Flamel, and Isaac Newton.

Some of the chemical treatises are befuddling to even the most learned of scholars, but the very word “alchemy” is almost in itself a symbol, conjuring up images that are magical, mystical, and marvelous.

there's hell in my brain, misaligned networks & misfiring neurons:

sometimes it feels like my mind is more disordered than myself,

more illness than any resemblance of innate self-preservation;

& since birth, my mind has been lost in deep self-destruction.

Sacred Lessons of the Golden Desert

In glimmers, and songs, this taste of light metal the sparkling smell, the odour of age the shimmering truth, inspirational ether centra; a jewelry-filled, magical cage

In melodies' Neptune, the fork is still resting, and dances of diamonds make up for a show, if you will untangle these mysteries' nesting The Phoenix will rise and will fly where you go

Now listen to riddles which you will be given, and do not fall in to temptational song, the mermaids are very much eagerly driven of getting you off track, too far and too long

While stairs are of desert sand flowing you deeper your mouth will feel thirsty for heavenly air, and if you are worth it, yes, if you're a keeper this travel through deeps will feel safe and fair

Now, dance with the diamonds! See tapestry glimmer! you both will make up new interior design, these walls and art decor reflects your most inner, this part that is sacret and deeply divine

And suddenly gems of all colors are humming the melody of your own inner design and while your heart's bumping and dancing and drumming, you now feel this voice that is all most sublime

The glimmering cage is your heart’s sacred aura a Wisdom you've searched for through ages of care; its walls have been carved with all sorts of old flora, its jewels - your chakras of magical air

Now - dance to your rhythm! Be true to your story! no, nothing of truth can be held with a lie, for sure you will stumble, not all will be glory, the crucial was that you got up - and tried.

we are not meant for much; to be dissolved within seas of soil...

[timeframe2286]

New favourite trope unlocked: when one person promises to look for the other person after unfortunate/unforseen circumstances and then after they find each other (usually unknowingly, sometimes in a different life) one person says this to the other, "where were you? I looked everywhere for you," and it's at face value something light, a joke, maybe they were looking for them someplace, but in the deeper sense THEY. FOUND. EACH. OTHER. AGAIN.

"And by the night as it closes in, and by the dawn when it breathes..." ―Qur'an 81:17-18

​Breath is an essential dynamic in every mystical tradition, especially Sufism. By combining breath with spiritual longing, aspiration, and conscious love, the practitioner elevates solar or creative forces from within one's sexual organs, up the spine, to illuminate the mind. In this manner, meditators master the three types of soul in the Qur'an, so as to acquire perfect serenity and illumination.
