Telegram: Ralph Metzner's Alchemical Musings

[Paul Ferguson]

"Ralph Metzner first wrote about alchemy when he was in his early 30s. He included a chapter on alchemy in his book Maps of Consciousness, which was published in 1971. In the latter few years of his life he recorded his thoughts on some 36 alchemical terms. Over an arc of some 50 years, Ralph worked on the practice of using alchemical processes for inner transformation. This volume of alchemical musings combines his earliest writing on alchemy with his last writings on alchemical terms. Explore the alchemical musings and metaphors in this volume that bookends his adult lifetime. This collection of musings is an alchemical transmutation of his lifelong opus into gold."
