Science, Spirit, Energy and Matter
Alchemy can be applied widely, and it’s more a way of thinking or philosophy rather then ‘stir a pot and out comes gold’ as it’s usually portrayed. The association with making gold was narrow even in the heyday of alchemy. However, some say philosophy is just a subjective stance and has no substance in the…

What is Alchemy?
Alchemy uses a series of beliefs that I myself practice. Both intuitive and literal observations of matter and the natural world, but it is more focused on artifice. It even had a doctrine that doesn’t really defy common sense; That nature doesn’t create finished products. This is why alchemy had an almost moral agenda to…

Intuition and Logic
It would likely be very helpful for westerners to study Confucianism, but many western thinkers decry the eastern fusion of intuition and logic. To the western mind, logic is good, but intuition is bad. To my observation, logic being given primacy has created some down right deranged policies and beliefs. It’s too bad the Greeks made…

Fear, Fear, Fear
Fear, fear, fear. Seems it is all fear. Of what use is fear? If you identify threat clearly then it is useful, but in my experience in more general things, it doesn’t do that. It helps the powers that be keep us compliant. Fear as doctrine. It is maybe why they want to give autistics electro…
