How a study of Alchemy can help you achieve your goals in life.
By Dennis Fisher.
Alchemy has been described as a unique mixture of science, religion and philosophy combined with elements of mysticism.
The ancient Alchemists were serious medieval scientists with an extensive knowledge of chemistry. Not only were they familiar with every chemical process available at the time, they made every effort to improve their expertise in this field.
They continued to experiment with a great variety of new chemical processes. As a result they were the first chemists in the Middle Ages to produce hydrochloric and nitric acid, potash, and sodium carbonate. They were also responsible for identifying the elements antimony, arsenic and bismuth.
What distinguished the ancient alchemists from other scientists at the time, was their with their burning – almost obsessive – desire to discover secret transmuting agents and chemical processes that would enable them to transform inferior base metals such as lead and iron into gold.
In striving to achieve this objective they were motivated by two factors: Firstly, their scientific curiosity and the need to demonstrate that the transmutation of inferior base metals into gold was possible, even though this was something other scientists ridiculed.
Secondly – and probably even more important – they were driven by an overpowering inner conviction that there was a strange mystical association between gold and certain spiritual values. This metaphysical approach to their work was something they never abandoned.
Alchemists were convinced that there was a symbolism between gold and important spiritual and philosophical concerns
