The Philosopher's Stone


The studies of Alchemy gave careful consideration to the secrets of nature and the secrets of life , searching for the answer to transform the dense and gross into fine , elevated , and also searching for the source , the eclipse , panacea , eternal life .
Here, we will talk about the source , the root , the angular stone , the mystery of life and death . Alchemists searched for the key to order ( the loss word ) , and the force , the essence or essences that move , express the multiplicity of form , characteristic and condition of life . This is the reason that analogies or meeting points between the external and the internal universe , were searched for . And this is also the reason of so much symbolism related to Alchemy . Nevertheless , Alchemy studies have as objective -as every real science have- to reach plenitude.
This plenitude has to do with total harmony , with full happiness , with control and power .
Alchemy , then , found different ways to analyze the universe and man . This is the reason that the alchemist studied in depth , the principles of nature and man . He studied every detail of life and consequently , the structural sequence . Because life and its stages are in turn , maps , paths , structures to know , to discover , to reveal the experiences and facts , which are not isolated , nothing is . Everything interacts , everything is connected
Man , the universe , health , disease , happiness , sadness , light , darkness , life and death . Everything is integrated , interpenetrated and makes possible one thing and another. This may seem as an isolated event , by example : A flower at the top of a cold and inhospitable mountain , which no one will ever see.
The one in the universe . The universe in the one . If at that particular season , the temperature of the environment , the humidity , wind , breeze , nutrients of the earth and geography per se , were not given in an adequate manner , then , the necessary coincidence would not be given .
Therefore , there is a flower because there is a sun that sustains her , because there is a universe that contains her and all is given within an equilibrium where chaos and order , life and death , essence and substance , background and form , as well as the whole live . Innumerable , almost infinite reasons must happen for something to exist.
They are special and exquisite , proper and adequate , as a flavor , as the perfume , the essential oils that flowers have . And they are not accidental signs , but an established language . A creative principle that plays with time and space and with the small and large elements of chemistry , of physics and life .
Alchemy is based in the principle of the study , in the mystery of the union , in the equilibrium and balance of opposites . Its understanding is born from the knowledge of the internal and external substances , like the internal humor or the rational or irrational thoughts . The tradition of the mystic look is born from this profound observation , which is later converted into practical magic , the magic of essence , of the eclipse, of eternity.
