Quoted in http://alchemical-weddings.com/alchemical-weddings/the-philosophers-stone/
"The fundamental thesis of scholasticism was that philosophy is the servant of theology. Intelligence certainly cooperated, but it played only a subordinate role. Thus, scholasticism did not succeed in achieving the marriage of the sun and moon, the result of which is the third principle, called the ‘philosopher’s’ stone in alchemy.
The ‘philosopher’s stone of alchemy is described in the Emerald Table of Hermes Trismegistus as follows:
The father thereof is the sun, the mother the moon.
The wind carried it in its womb; the earth is the nurse thereof.
It is the father of all works of wonder throughout the whole world.
The power thereof is perfect, if it be cast on to earth.
It will separate the element of earth from that of fire, the subtle from the gross, gently and with great sagacity.
It doth ascend from earth to heaven.
Again it doth descend to earth, and uniteth in itself the force from things superior and things inferior.
This means to say that the process of induction (which ‘ascends from earth to heaven’) and that of deduction (which descends to earth), the process of prayer (which ascends from earth to heaven) and that of reveleation (which descends to earth) – ie human endeavour and the action of grace from above – unite and become a complete circle which contracts and concentrates to become a point where the ascent and descent are simultaneous and coincide. And this point is the ‘philosopher’s stone’ – the principle of the identity of the human and divine, of spirituality.
It is the solution of the problem posed by St Paul, or rather the accomplishment of the task given by him, when he wrote of the Cross being folly to the Greeks and a stumbling block to the Jews, but which “to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, is the power of God and the wisdom of God.” (I Corinthians I, 22-24).
Now, the historical and evolutionary mission of Hermeticism is to advance the progress of alchemical work engaged in developing the ‘philsopher’s stone’ or the union of spirituality and intellectuality. It is called to be the crest of the wave of contemporary human effort aspiring to the fusion of the spirituality and intellectuality. This effort and aspiration is larger than the group of Hermeticists, properly said, who are dispersed in the world.
There are probably more people who are not avowed Hermeticists and who are engaged in the endeavour aiming at the fusion of spirituality and intellectuality than there are Hermeticists, properly said. …..The Spirit blows where it will, but the task of the Hermetic tradition is to maintain – without pretension to a monopoly, God forbid! – the ancient idea of the ‘the thelema of the whole world – which ascends from earth to heaven, descends to earth, and uniteth in itself the force from things superior and things inferior’. It’s the task is that of guardian of the great spiritual world.
Unknown author, Meditations on the Tarot, Letter XXI, The Fool"
The philosopher's stone is quite literally a phrase that unites the subtle and the gross, the spiritual and the material; the subtle energetics of the sun, and the glum materiality of the moon.[ab]

Some Notes Toward sensing the red beyond blue, the next octave.

Hi D
Light,Color, and Logos Synchronicity here -- yr discussion of phi and phase conjugation - mystery dovetail
I surely don't know where this is leading, but I have a deep sense of things synapsing.
some truth to know the true nature of color and frequency is to know the true nature of reality..... Is this the message in the stained glass at Chartres?
I found Fulcanelli's book, thanks to PLT!
It seems to be missing some important photographic plates.

alchemical rotation
Through circumrotation, or a circular philosophical revolving of the quaternity, it is brought back to the highest and purest simplicity of the monad. Out of the gross and impure One there cometh an exceeding pure and subtile Monad.

"Monoatomic gold, to give an example of old and new production techniques, was manufactured in the Middle Ages by amalgamating molten gold with heated mercury, then amalgamating further with sulfur and distilling the mercury sulfide off. Our method is to dissolve gold powder in molten sodium metal and then to detonate the mass with water. Precipitating monoatomic gold out of the resultant solution with nitric acid will yield purple monoatomic gold, the ‘purple coat of the king’ as it was called in the Renaissance.
Metallurgical chemists may interject that an attempt to precipitate gold out of alkaline solution by a mineral acid is likely doomed to fail or produce only partial precipitation. Yes indeed! It may be hard to swallow for many that this process requires a direct interaction of the alchemist’s mind with the matter at hand, and that each individual may get a different quantity of purple gold out of the exact same volume of solution. Some may not get any, as I had the opportunity to observe. Furthermore, we should mention in passing that some of the monoatoms produced in the labs of contemporary universities are reported to not be stable. It is again the interaction of the alchemist’s focused will with the material at hand that needs to stabilize the material. Some web-based businesses offer monoatomic gold with the warning that you may experience headaches when taking it. Beware! These unfortunate producers have not mastered the art of stabilizing their products properly. Academic chemists will possibly discard this idea as pure fantasy, but alchemy, correctly performed, delivers stable substances that do not fall apart on their own. Alchemy is after all more an art than a science, and one that has always attempted to bridge the seen and the unseen!"

The Archetype of the Holy Wedding in Alchemy and in the Unconscious of Modern Man
4.7.1.2 The Hermetic alchemical unio corporalis as the background of a modern energetic terminology
"We have seen that for Medieval man the world soul was an indistinguishable unity of spirit, psyche and as well as of matter. Further, it was inside and outside and at the same time – the part as well as the whole. The trouble with such a wholeness is its empirical non-observability, since something that does not have any difference or differentiation, i.e. no energetic aspect, is of course not observable.
In a physical language we could say that such an “object” is in the state of maximal entropy. It is the non-observable oneness described by Carl Jung[2]. As I have shown[3], Wolfgang Pauli and Carl Jung dealt also with the problem of these terms. In their dispute in the year 1953, as a result of an incredibly interesting discussion they concluded that these terms are just metaphysical ones without any epistemological meaning. Further, in letters to his colleague Franz Kröner Pauli clarified the fact that only an energetical change is observable. Thus, if we can observe a change in such a realm that is only metaphysically defined, we have found an indirect empirical proof for its existence[4].
In order to become observable such a realm should at least contain an energetic property, i.e., an energetic potential out of which a change can happen. In Hermetic alchemical terms such an energetic potential is symbolically defined in the special form of the coniunctio or unio corporalis described above: In the uterus of the queen the king dissolves into atoms, and the latter become the seeds for a new vegetative life. In modern terms we can define such a state as a potential energetic phenomenon.
I am sure that the reader can now realize first what a great revolution the inclusion of the Hermetic alchemical unio corporalis or second coniunctio by Gerardus Dorneus and Robert Fludd has been, and second how this revolution was even extended by the idea of the old king drowning in the uterus of the queen for his rebirth – although this idea of such a reincarnation was only formulated in symbolic images. These ideas compensated unconsciously the one-sidedness of natural science developing soon after with the inclusion of the mathematical standpoint. Expressed in the symbolism of alchemy we can say that the Logos king was and still remains incapable of sacrificing its dominant attitude of beeing in the Heavens and enter the womb of the Eros queen for its regeneration and rejuvenation. Such a transformation is therefore left for us to consciously realize as we begin the 21st century, and my fear is that the Logos king will not resign voluntarily, but will only descend because of apocalyptic events, as for example a world wide intense wave of UFO encounters and especially of abduction phenomena."

Spiritual Physics, toward a Law of the Conservation of Consciousness
"Now 'pure induction' is founded on simple enumeration and is essentially only conclusion based on the experience of given statistics. Thus one could say, 'As John is a man and is dead, and as Peter is a man and is dead, and as Michael is a man and is dead, therefore man is mortal.' The force of this argument depends on number or on the quantity of facts known through experience. The method of analogy, on the other hand, adds the qualitative element, i.e., that which is of intrinsic importance, to the qualitative. Here is an example of of an argument by analogy: 'Andrew is formed of matter, energy, and consciousness. As matter does not disappear with his death, but only changes its form, and as energy does not disappear but only modifies the mode of its activity, Andrew's consciousness, also, cannot simply disappear, but must merely change its form and mode (or plane) of activity. Therefore Andrew is immortal.' This latter argument is founded on the formula of Hermes Trismegistus: that which is below (matter) (energy)is as that which is above(consciousness). Now, if there exists a law of conservation of matter and energy (although matter transforms itself into energy and vise versa), there must necessarily exist also a law of conservation of consciousness or immortality."
