Hey everyone, at the beginning I would like to welcome you all to my contribution and hope you have a pleasant week so far! Today I would like to share something about alchemy after a little longer time and hope you like my contribution.
Anyone who has already dealt with old alchemical texts will know that some legends were often much more and had a deep symbolism or message to tell. Some people try to take away the wisdom of others, but do not have the spiritual maturity to deal with this knowledge and a well-known legend from alchemy is the rose garden in which people can get, but will not find their way around without the right key and will be jabbed by the thorns. The rose garden is full of hidden secrets which are intended for the chosen ones and one of the keys to find your way here is a certain devotion as well as maturity and those who know the alchemy know that it's a process of different stages to get to enlightenment and who gets into the garden without having gone through these stages before, will not find their way around. The garden blooms only for those or few who really mean it seriously and decide to choose the path of enlightenment and those who demand enlightenment without first wanting to walk the path, will only find the darkness in the end.
A fox, sheep or false adept may know certain processes, but has not lived them through himself and therefore does not know how they are working and who tries to recreate something, but does not know the order or materials which are necessary for it does not need to be surprised in the end if the machine does not work. Exactly this also refers to the Philosopher's Stone, because who has the recipe but does not understand the formulas behind, will not be able to complete the work and if someone mixes the wrong substances together will have some problems and this can be related to both, the spiritual or material level. The old alchemists were very intelligent and took all these things into account and did not rewrite their recipes without reason or wrote them in such a way that they should only receive the chosen ones and if an unauthorized person is trying to get away with it, it's nothing more than lead which pretends to be gold.
The spiritual side which is also referred to as inner alchemy, as well as the practice, is also closely linked and those who go through the external processes without having understood the inner ones, will not be able to go through the fundamental process of formation. An ancient alchemical script from the 17th century describes the whole topic well by drawing a monkey in a laboratory that is desperately trying to deal with the substances but does not want to succeed, because it lacks the fire. For the old alchemists it was essential to master things themselves to get to enlightenment and those who think to make it so easy and rob others the knowledge is like when someone tries to climb a ladder without paying attention to the steps, and will fly off it in the end.
Thank you very much for stopping by and I hope you could learn something new and like my post! I captured these pictures with my Sony Alpha 6000 plus 55-210 mm lens and iPhone 16.
