"Alchemical symbolism is a lovely metaphysics, a gracious and beautiful approach to one of the great problems of daily existence. Every individual in his own personal life can be an alchemist, a worker with the divine chemistries of living… Alchemy is actually a dedicated effort to find out where we come from, why we are here, and where we are going. It is a way of applying all that we know to all the problems that we must solve. Step by step, we become more knowing, more useful, and more helpful, becoming better citizens here and, whether we realize it or not, better citizens of Eternity." –Manly Palmer Hall (March 18,1901-August 29, 1990)

"The ancient Indian alchemical tradition of Rasashastra encompasses a diverse literature on the therapeutic application of metals, minerals, and gemstones. This tradition later integrated into Ayurveda, the indigenous medical system of India, forming a significant branch thereof. Within Rasashastra's classical texts, Heeraka (Diamond) is categorized under Ratna Varga (Precious gemstones classification), alongside other precious and semiprecious gemstones. Notably, Heeraka Bhasma, the incinerated ash of diamond, finds mention for treating internal abscesses, tumors, angina pectoris, and tuberculosis. Reviewing over 30 classical texts reveals various pharmaceutical procedures like Shodhana(Purification) and Marana(Process of preparing Bhasma), enhancing Heeraka's therapeutic potential. Common purification methods include Nirvapa(Hearing and Quenching) and Swedana(Boiling), while Gajaputa(Amount of Heat) is the commonest puta given  for Bhasma(Incinerated Ash) preparation, often employing Karpasa Mula and 3-year-old Nagvalli swarasa as media. This review aims to comprehensively explore diamond's processing techniques and therapeutic attributes as described in classical literature and contemporary research."

"The alchemical symbols for metals, acids, bases and salts were still in everyday use in much of the 18th century. The modern notation, which we use today, is due to Berzelius, but the transition was long and arduous and took place between ca. 1775 and 1820 roughly simultaneously with but distinct from the Chemical Revolution. The notations of Bergman and Dalton (pictured) were stages of the process, which had to deal with the thorny questions of affinity, stoichiometry, the forces that bind atoms together in molecules, and the constitution of molecules."

"NUNM’s classical Chinese medicine (CCM) community is devoted to tapping the source of this ancient medical system. Why? Because we find the classical approach to be exceptionally effective and fascinating. 

The roots of Chinese Medicine extend back thousands of years—to the wisdom and work of cultivated individuals who understood that human beings are microcosms of the natural world. They recognized that everything in the material world, including the human body, is a creation and reflection of a higher dimension of reality. Health and harmony can be achieved by living in accordance with the laws of nature, and in alignment with one’s most authentic expression."
