establishes   the   facts�察  �while   the   former   occupies   itself   in   their   tabulation 

and deductions。 The science constitutes the foundation�察�and the philosophy�察�

the    metaphysical       speculations�察     �which    rest   thereon。    If  these    important 

distinctions   are borne in   mind�察 �all the   apparent   confusion�察 �contradiction�察�

and   other   intellectual   debris�察  �will   either   disappear   or   resolve   themselves 

into their own proper groups�察�so that we may easily classify them。 

     It   is   at   this   very   point�察  �that�察  �so   many   students   go   astray   amid   the 

labyrinths   of   science   and   philosophy。   They�察  �unconsciously�察  �so   mix   and 

intermingle the two terms�察�that nine´tenths of the students present only one 

side    of   the  questionphilosophy�察        �which     soon    runs   into   theory�察   �if  not 

supported       by   the   science�察   �which     they   have    lost   in  their   volumes      of 

philosophy。 

     You may say�察�one subject at a time。 Yes�察�this may be true�察�if its twin 

brother is not absorbed and forgotten。 

     In this chapter�察�we shall deal especially with organic Alchemy。 

     Organic Alchemy deals exclusively with living�察�organic things�察�and in 

this connection differs from the Alchemy of inorganic matter。 These two 

aspects   may�察  �in   this   one   respect�察  �be   compared   to   organic   and   inorganic 

chemistry�察      �to   which     originally     they    belonged�察     �as   astrology      did   to 

astronomy。 Alchemy   and   astrologytwin   sisterswere   the  parents   of   the 

modern   offspring�察  �known   in   chemistry   and   astronomy   as   exact   science。 

These latter�察�however�察�deal with shadows and phenomenal illusions�察�while 

the   former   concern   the   living   realities�察  �which   produce   them。   Therefore�察�

there can be ;no new thing under the sun�察─�saith Solomon。 

     First�察  �let   us   deal   with   the   most   lovely   form   of   our   art�察  �that   which 

pertains   to   the   floral   and   vegetable   kingdoms。   Every   flower   or   blade   of 

grass�察  �every   tree   of   the   forest   and   stagnant   weed   of   the   swamp�察  �is   the 

outcome of�察�and ever surrounded by�察�its corresponding degree of spiritual

life。 There is not a single atom but what is the external expression of some 

separate�察�living force�察�within the spaces of Aeth�察�acting in unison with the 

dominant power corresponding with the type of life。 

     If science could only behold this wonderful laboratory within the vital 

storehouse of Nature�察�she would no longer vainly seek for THE ORIGIN 

OF   LIFE�察  �nor   wonder�察  �what   may   have   become   of   the   missing   link   in 

scientific evolution�察�because�察�she would quickly realize that�察�biogenesis is 

the   one   grand   truth   of   both   animate   and   inanimate   Nature�察  �the   central�察�

living source of which is God。 Science would also�察�further realize that�察�this 

biune life is ever in motion throughout the manifested universe�察�circulating 

around   the   focii   of   creative   activities�察  �which   we   term   suns�察  �stars�察  �and 

planets�察    �awaiting     the   conditions      which     are   ever   present    for   material 

incarnation�察  �and   under   all   possible   combinations   of   circumstances   and 

conditions�察  �conceivable   and   inconceivable�察  �adapting   itself   to   continuous 

phenomenal expression。 Links�察�so called�察�in this mighty chain of evolution�察�

may appear to be missing here and there�察�and�察�for that matter�察�whole types 

may     seem     to  be   wanting�察    �but�察  �this  is  only    because     of  our   imperfect 

perception�察�and�察�in any case�察�can make no real difference with the facts�察�

because�察  �if   such   be   a   reality�察  �if   there   be   what   we   may   term   MISSING 

LINKS   in   the   scheme   of   evolution�察  �it   only   shows   that   spirit�察  �although 

associated with�察�is ever independent of matter。 

     But matterwhat is to become of   it�拭�Is it independent of spirit�拭�The 

kindness of the Divine spirit heeds not the unconscious mind of matter and 

its boasted independence�察�and works silently on�察�and at last�察�accomplishes 

its   missionthe   evolution   of   matter�察  �the   uplifting   of   the   soul   of   man�察  �as 

well as the universe。 The blindness of man is dense�察�and the saddest part to 

admit is that�察�they will so stubbornly remain so。 

     If�察  �for   one   instant�察  �the   penetrating   eye   of   the   soul   could   shine   forth 

through the physical orbs of vision�察�and imprint the scenes�察�beheld behind 

the   veil�察  �upon   the   tablets   of   the   brain   of   the   physical   organism�察  �a   fire 

would      be   kindled     that�察  �could    never    be   quenched      by    the  fascinating 

allurements of the material�察�perishable things�察�of matter。 

     That   development   of   the   real   atom   of   biune   life   can�察  �and   does�察  �go 

forward�察      �irrespective     of   the   gradation      of   physical     types�察   �needs     no

convincing proof�察�other than visible Nature。 

     MAN IS NOT THE OUTCOME OF PHYSICAL EVOLUTION�察�and 

produced by a series of blind laws�察�that lead him upward from protozoa to 

man�察 �as   a   child   climbs   up   stairs�察 �advancing   regularly�察  �ONE   STEP AS A 

TIME。 This latter conception�察�we know�察�is the theory of exact science�察�but 

not    of  Alchemy�察    �not   of  the  science    of  Occultism。     Man�察    �according    to 

Wallace�察    �Darwin�察    �Huxley�察    �and   Tyndall�察   �is  what   progressive     stages   of 

physical evolution have made him。 But the very reverse is true。 The fauna 

and flora of past geological periods are what the human soul has produced�察�

by virtue of its gradual advancement to higher states and conditions of life�察�

so that�察�so far from man being the outcome of the planet's development�察�

such   material   progress   is   the   outgrowth   of   man's   advancement�察  �proving 

again     that�察 �matter    is  not  independent      of  spirit�察 �neither    can   spirit  be 

independent   of   matter   for   its   expressions。   They   so   interblend   that�察  �the 

dividing line cannot be detected by the untrained eye of the exact scientist。 

But�察�that time is not far distant�察�when the scientists will prepare and evolve 

their interior being to take up the spiritual thread�察�exactly where the visible 

thread ends�察�and carry forth the work�察�as far as the mortal mind of man can 

penetrate�察�while embodied in the physical form。 

     God   hasten   this   day   is   my   prayer�察  �for   then   man   will   become   more 

spiritual   and   aspiring   for   advancement   and   knowledge�察  �thus�察  �setting   up 

vibrations   that   will   create   higher   and   loftier   conditions   for   the   physical 

man。 Aye� �then they will know that�察�even the birth of the world itself�察�owes 

its primal genesis to the desire of the human atom for earthly embodiment。 

     Here is where exact science�察�or the counterpart of Alchemy�察�becomes 

both profitable and helpful。 Says Paracelsus�此 �The true use of chemistry is 

not to make gold�察�but to prepare medicines。; He admits four elementsthe 

STAR�察�the ROOT�察�the ELEMENT and the SPERM。 These elements were 

composed        of  the   three   principles�察   �SIDERIC       SALT�察    �SULPHUR�察       �and 

MERCURY。  Mercury�察 �or   spirit�察�sulphur�察 �or   oil�察 �and salt�察 �and   the  passive 

principles�察�water and earth。 Herein we see the harmony of the two words�察�

Alchemy and Chemistry。 One is but the continuation of the other�察�and they 

blend so into each other that�察�they are not complete�察�apart。 

     The   chemist�察  �in   his   analysis   of   the   various   component   parts   of   any 



                                             69

form of matter�察�knows also the proportional combinations�察�and thus�察�by the 

Law  of   Correspondence�察 �could�察�by  the   same   use of   the   spiritual laws   of 

Alchemy�察�analyze and combine the same elements from the atmosphere�察�to 

produce   the   corresponding   expression   of   crystallized   form。   By  the   same 

laws�察    �are  affinities    and   antipathies     discovered      and   applied�察   �in   every 

department of Nature's wonderful laboratory。 

     Chemistry       is  the   physical     expression      of  Alchemy�察      �and   any    true 

knowledge of chemistry is��not the knowing of the names of the extracts 

and   essences�察  �and   the   plants   themselves�察  �and   that   certain   combinations 

produce certain results�察�obtained from blind experiments�察�yet�察�prompted by 

the Divine spirit
