Transmutation and Alchemy Having been given the education of a scientist, particularly a chemist I came from the background that Chemistry, Biology and Physics. It was particularly in chemistry that we were told stories of bygone days when the alchemical ‘puffers’ would sit in front of a fire endlessly trying to create the ‘philosopher’s stone’ or gold from lead. Apart from its popular culture identity as the main object of desire in the first Harry Potter novel, it is nowadays mostly thrown towards the realm of the quacks and pseudo-scientists in ‘serious’ scientific circles. I was taught in my undergraduate education about a largely macro concepts with some nuclear understanding but I vaguely remember that it resembled a bull in a china shop in terms of its grace and understanding of the nature of the world. Very similar to same bad taste of burning organic matter in order to spread the ash in its simplest form as commercial non-organic agriculture promotes – chemistry has left me with the taste of fumbling blindly in the dark for something more, i.e. greatly disillusioned. Having been practiced for thousands of years, as an early worship of the Egyptian god Thoth, Hermes in ancient Greece and many others throughout history, it is not only a study of basic chemical elements ability to transmute but more importantly as stereo instructions as a way to purify and refine the soul. The Philosopher’s stone was the search through immortality that Jesus mentioned when he said that he who walks in the Kingdom of God shall never know death. Purification of the soul being the immortal elixir that would free you death (and consequently rebirth for those Buddhists out there). The trick being much like George Harrison says in the Art of Dying off All Things must Pass “But if you want it, then you must find it but when you have it, there will be no need for it.” The final kick to Alchemy came back in the 1800;s when the first chemistry book (possibly lighter than the back breaking editions stuffed in the bottom of lockers across the world). The historical end of mainstream belief in alchemy happened with the disproving of Aristotle's four-elements theory and the publishing of the book, The Skeptical Chemist (by Robert Boyle), combined to destroy this early form of chemistry. Today, you would be stunned at how many alchemists there are out there practicing and studying the hermetic arts if you were to just look. Below is a summary of the seven steps that are used to refine the soul and consequently the elements. Taken from http://www.hollingsworthcounseling.com/stages.htm. Calcination This is the first stage of the alchemical practice and essentially represents the process of burning. It represents a burning within the self, of energies repressed due to trauma, projection of others thoughts, ego, and feelings or emotions. Calcination allows us to bring the energy or feelings to the surface, experience them fully and cause the fires of calcination to burn the energy away. Once this step is complete, the process leaves us with a feeling of freedom from the energy. Dissolution Dissolution is the process of adding the element of water to the ashes of what has been burned by the fires of calcination. This is an emotional stage where the person takes themselves back to “the womb” of childhood where some of the impurities (repressed feelings) were attached and need to be washed away. The feelings, reactions, opinions, thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes must be examined for reality, to find whether they are based on repressed feelings or present facts. This is a stage of anxiety, fear, denial, illusion and possible mental breakdown. When a person moves through this stage they can then look at what is real because feeling all of the negative feelings has now penetrated the illusions. Separation In this stage of the alchemical process the individual is able to see himself in two parts or the opposites within. The two worlds represented are the world we have created -- fueled by what we come from -- and the world of consciousness and reality-- a world much different from the one we ourselves created. Repressed feelings cause a veil to be produced that causes reality to be skewed. Separation is a process of being able to see and separate the ego self that has been burned in the fires of Calcination and the feelings expressed and released in Dissolution and choosing what is now important to keep of you. Conjunction Conjunction gives us our first look at the higher realms of existence such as spiritual connection, concept of God, or something greater than ourselves that is outside of and connected to our self. This stage is described in the Emerald Tablet, “That which is Below corresponds to that which is Above, and that which is Above corresponds to that which is Below, to accomplish the miracles of the One Thing.” Fermentation Fermentation is also known as Putrefaction or decomposition. This decomposition is the rotting of the dead self. There is realization on a deep level of ones deficiencies, and a possibility of mental depression at this stage. To look into the dark shadows of one’s self is to look at what most deny. Jung spoke of the importance of embracing one’s shadow so that the darkness of it could be illuminated. When the shadow is embraced it can be healed with the introspection and understanding of what gave it birth. Regeneration and growth begins to take place during this stage. Distillation Distillation is another wash of the parts of the personality that no longer work with the new self that has been uncovered. Human beings grow attached to the material world along with their thoughts, beliefs and opinions. This stage of the work calls us to release attachment to everything and feel detachment as a true form of love. This form of love is from a higher level and not a form that is usually practiced until we have let go of our attachments to end results or the future. Distillation helps wash away the dark matter of attachment and reveal the deeper intuitive self in its purest form-- light and Oneness. Coagulation This is the last stage of the alchemical process. The balance of the opposites creates a balance and harmony necessary to easily move between the two realms of matter and spirit. The person that has successfully accomplished this stage has completed unification within themselves on all levels. They have been able to join spirit and soul with the body, separating them from everything that would hinder them ascension into the union with the Divine. This is the stage of the phoenix rising from the ashes and the complete resurrection.

Previous Research specifically on Biological Transmutation:

· See here and here for what you were taught in school and what is the most common understand of how the elements were formed.
What has been largely ignored by mainstream science:
- Research has shown that chickens when the amount of calcium was restricted in their diets did not ingest enough calcium in order to produce the amount of calcium found in their daily egg. The conclusion they came to was the Chickens use a basic system of referred to as biological transmutation in order to synthesize enough calcium to create an egg each day. This research originally performed by a scientist named Kervran showed that within their bodies they were able to transmute elements needed by simply adding (e.g. Calcium is 20 proton, so you need potassium (19 protons) and hydrogen (1 proton).
- Many other scientists, including Vauquelin, Sindler, Lawes, Gilbert, von Herzeele, Baranger, Korol’kov, and Pappas obtained similar results in a wide variety of experiments. Their combined research indicates that plants, animals and micro-organisms regularly transmute the first 20 elements of the periodic table at the sub-atomic level using enzymes and hormones, with hydrogen or oxygen as the primary catalyst. The number of protons in each element is apparently the key. (see here for more information).
