what are ur thoughts on alchemy and philosophy and how does this connect to pruaus
FUWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA(I forgot the pruaus part BUT I HAVE A LONGER RAHT FOR THAT.)
Alchemy has always been connected humanitys will to imitate and to be on par with the holy. The idea that we too could purify, mold, and combine objects and elements into our will-hell even our image- is actually what we think gods and deities could do. As much as people claim that alchemy was a sort of praise and worship of god, it was also the culmination of envy for the power that one thing holds over us.
We don't like being controlled, we like free will, we also like to look at something and say "yes! Yes that is me!". That's why we said the moon was feminine and the sun was masculine, that is why we created god even. We created someone in our image, someone we consider perfect, taking each part of what we consider perfect. It is what we are, what we want, but they both contradict. We are contradictory that is our nature. We want peace yet we want power, we want freedom yet we want control, we want love yet we want revenge. Alchemy has always been about the path to become like god, to be able to purify, create, and mold. We give objects something that we can relate to, because that's only way we're able to relate, to understand. Because all we really wanted was to understand ourselves.
The goal of alchemy is to reach a greater high, to create gold or to achieve the philosopher stone. One or the other, what's important ad that we achieve. Life has always been about a path to a goal.
"I am hungry, I must eat, my goal is to find food. "
"I am bored, I must seek, my goal is to find entertainment. "
"I want to understand, I want to know, my goal is to discover. "
A life without meaning is a life without a path, humans are always looking for something this they are always on a road to somewhere both literally and metaphorically. In alchemy we have principles, principles are not the base, they are not the original, they are simply he start in which things diverge. From salt we opened the path of stabilization of minerals, with sypfur we dissolved objects to welcome a new state. Alchemy itself was a step in the direction of chemistry and logic, as opposing as logic and belief can be.
By looking at things as humans, we discover more about ourselves as we try to fit ourselves into the box of the non living. Everytime we try to understand something we also try tp understand ourselves. Humans, as much as they can understand everything around them, cannot comprehend their own sub conscious. Because it's not ruled by a law of any kind. Scientifically, our psyche was never ruled by higher beings, our likes and dislikes are not always ruled by our environments, even down to our birth we can't exactly pin point why exactly we were born to this body, to this conscience, to this shape. But a rock, a rock is built on minerals and years of reaction. It has a law to follow, and idea to uphold, something we never had.
The only true wat to understand, is to combine. To study humans non alignment with the strict following of objects. To combine the rabid constant feminine with the still and calm masculine. The conscious that we know and the unconscious that we dont. To combine, amalgamate, to mold, the point is that we want to connect
As much as we like to believe that science, feelings, objects, things, life, is separate and on its own, we also have to accept that reality will always be a culmination of everything.
Alchemy is science, if science incorporated philosophy. Philosophy is science, if there never was alchemy.
Life's goal is the path as much as the path leads to the goal. To find the path we need to connect, to find the next route, to see the differing roads to walk to achieve our next destination. We can never truly be seperate as everything connects into everything and this everything is everything, but at the same time everything is nothing. No matter what we do we always try to connect the non human to the human, through numbers and symbols, whatever.
