The Philosophers’ Stone
Inner alchemy requires both the Philosopher (Divine Wisdom) to guide our ego towards more profound truth, and the Stone (our ego) to develop enough consciousness to recognise its true source. It combines the word ‘philosophy’ to reflect our spiritual reality, and the name ‘stone’ to reflect our physical reality.
- The Living Stone is the goal of alchemy and the miraculous embodiment of the Divine into a physical human form.
- The Outward Stone is the totality of the whole universe (Soul of the World).
- The Inward Stone is the achievement of the totality of individual consciousness.
