AN INTRODUCTION To ALCHEMICAL PHILOSPHY
By Alasdair Forsythe
By Alasdair Forsythe
Quintessence is the one thing from which everything else is made. While this may sound esoteric, it is in this day and age not so far-fetched as one might initially think. A modern update on the word ‘quintessence’ puts this into perspective: energy is the one thing from which everything else is made. This also makes much clearer sense of the premises 48, 49 & 50:
48. Everything is made from one thing: energy
49. Energy nourishes all things
50. Energy is impalpable
Now it is much more easily digested! Quintessence is energy, that invisible and impalpable spirit from which all things are formed.

Energy comes in different forms, for example it can be formed into solid matter or it can be in the form of movement. It is agreed in modern science that matter and energy are interchangeable, even if we haven’t quite managed to efficiently utilize this yet with current technology, still having to burn oil in order to extract usable energy for movement from the stored mass form of oil – which itself is called a ‘fossil fuel’ because it used to be vegetation, which is why oil is so concentrated in energy.
Still, we eat food and that gives us the energy to move, which can only be considered a matter to energy conversion since we ate matter and used it for movement. Considering that worms and bacteria can do this, the concept of matter to energy conversion is hardly far-fetched, on the contrary we take it so much for granted that we fail to see it for what it truly is: plain, obvious and everywhere.
I use the terms ‘determined energy’ and ‘undetermined energy’ for the two main forms of energy that I am interested in. ‘Determined energy’ is energy that has already become something, such as matter, and so it is already determined. ‘Undetermined energy’ is energy that is free in the sense that it is not determined into something, not matter, and is in a state that can be used.
As an example, a carrot is made of determined energy. Your car will not run on carrots and if you get a cut on your body you can’t put a carrot on the cut and expect the carrot to transmute into skin to seal the wound, neither will holding a carrot make you run faster. A carrot is only a carrot, it is already determined, even though it is made out of energy – it is useless for anything else in its current form. But a carrot does contain energy and this energy can be extracted. To extract this energy we must break the carrot down and destroy its current form. By chewing the carrot and then digesting it the carrot is destroyed and so its energy is no longer determined, but freed. The determined energy of the carrot becomes undetermined energy and can then be used by our bodies for nourishment – which is to say that the determined energy of the carrot becomes undetermined and then becomes redetermined as human body matter or energy.
Following on from this, the philosophical definition of ‘edible’ would then be any matter that is easily broken down by our digestive system into undetermined energy, with the exceptions of substances that contain chemicals which are actively harmful to our bodies (i.e. poison.) Our bodies cannot digest rocks, metals or plastics simply because they are not easily broken down, which is why these are inedible. Being ‘edible’ is therefore a quality that is related to the ease of decomposition/digestion of the substance.
To recap: a carrot contains energy but this energy is already determined in the form of the carrot. To release this energy the carrot must be broken down and reformed: a carrot contains energy but this energy is already determined in the form of the carrot. To release this energy the carrot must be destroyed. Once the form of the carrot is destroyed its energy can now be used for other things, such as healing, growing our bodies or moving.
Without the carrot first being destroyed it could not be used by our bodies for healing, hence why we need to chew and digest our food. Any matter easily destroyed and not poisonous is edible and therefore food.
The reason we eat food is to extract energy from the substance. Therefore the true nourishment that we are looking for in food is not the food itself, but the energy contained within the food. So true nourishment is energy.
Eating is a matter-to-energy conversion because we eat matter and from it we can run and jump around, grow our bodies, heal wounds, etc.

Your car will not run on carrots and if you get a cut on your body you can’t put a carrot on the cut and expect the carrot to transmute into skin to seal the wound, neither will holding a carrot make you run faster.

Eating is a matter-to-energy conversion because we eat matter and from it we can run and jump around, grow our bodies, heal wounds, etc.
Of course this is a bit of a simplification because, as we know, the carrot is broken down mostly into building blocks, such as protein, carbohydrate, etc. and these components are used by our body in these forms, each with a specific use. But that is not the whole story.
So far I have said nothing controversial in this chapter, so here is where alchemical philosophy deviates from the opinion of accepted modern biology: according to alchemical philosophy these proteins and carbohydrates are not what we are really looking for in food, since they are still determined into matter. What we are really looking for is the undetermined energy itself.

What we are really looking for is the undetermined energy itself.
Undetermined energy will adopt any form that is imposed upon it. You could say that undetermined energy is impressionable and wants to become something. So undetermined energy can be used by our bodies for anything: it will become protein if protein is needed, or it will become mineral if minerals are needed. Undetermined energy is the one thing from which everything else is made and therefore it follows that if you have undetermined energy you can make anything from it.
It should be noted that modern science does not have any problem with matter being broken down into energy and then reformed into matter, only whether this process naturally happens inside of our bodies or not. There are some scientific references though: C. L. Kervran in his book Biological Transmutations (Crosby Lockwood, 1972) reported to have discovered that chicken eggs sometimes contain more calcium than existed in the hen’s diet.

To illustrate this a little better: consider that I offer you two options. The first option is a bowl of fresh fruit, and the second is a glass of water and dry concoction of manufactured protein, fat, carbohydrate, fiber, vitamins and mineral pills made to the same exact specification of the fruit. Which is healthier?
I think it’s safe to say that we all understand that fresh fruit is healthier than a fistful of pills offering the same building blocks. Something is missing from the pills that is contained within the fruit. This fact is generally accepted by modern biology, which is of course a contradiction. Alchemical philosophy provides the answer to this puzzle: the missing ingredient is the undetermined energy.
Pleas keep in mind, I don't like this any better than any one else, however, a person who got asked to leave high school in 8D is dragging this out to be burnt up by the light.
class are, of course, beneath the serious concern
of any true student of occultism, nevertheless the
mental attitude of such persons are worthy of our
passing consideration, inasmuch as it serves to
give us an object less on regarding the childlike
attitude of the average so- called “ practical ” per
sons regarding the matter of the evidence of the
senses.
These so- called practical persons have much
to say regarding their senses. They are fond of
speaking of “ the evidence of my senses.” They
also have much to say about the possession of
“ good sense”on their part ; of having “ sound
common sense”; and often they make the strange
boast that they have “ horse sense,” seeming to
consider this a great possession. Alas, for the
pretensions of this class of persons.
the dictionary tells us that a sense is a
“ faculty, possessed by animals , of perceiving
external objects by means of impressions made
upon certain organs of the body.
Science tells us that of all . the five senses, that
of Touch or Feeling was the original— the funda
mental sense. All the restare held to be but
modifications of, and specialized forms of, this
original sense of feeling. I am telling you this
not merely in the way of interesting and in
structive scientific information, but also because an
understanding of this fact will enable you to
more clearly comprehend that which I shall have
to say to you about the higher faculties or senses.
Many of the very lowly and simple forms of
animal life have this one sense only, and that but
poorly developed.
In some forms of lower animal life the
sense of smell is much more highly developed
than in mankind. Hearing evolved in due time
from the rudimentary feeling of vibrations.
Sight, the highest of the senses, came last, and
was an evolution of the elementary sensitiveness
to light.
The sensory- nerves record the presence of outer
object s coming in contact with the nerve ends in
various parts of the skin of the body.
Now all this means that the ego, or soul , or
mind, if you prefer the term— is the real Knower
who become s aware of the out side world by
means of the messages of the senses. Cut off
from these messages the mind would be almost a
blank, so far as out side objects are concerned.
All occultists know that man has other senses
than the ordinary five, although but few men
have developed them sufficiently well to use them
effectively. These super- physical sense s are
known to the occultists as “ the astral senses”
Now, this sense of the presence of other living
beings is very well developed in the lower ani
mals, particularly in those whose safety depends
upon the knowledge of the presence of their nat
ural enemies. As might be expected, the wild ani
mals have it more highly developed than do the
domesticated animals. But even among the lat
ter, we find instances of this sense being in active
use—in the case of dogs, horses, geese, etc. ,
especially. Who of us is not familiar with the
strange actions of the dog, or the horse, when
the animal senses the unseen and unheard pres
ence of some person or animal ?
The organs registering the presence of a
strange or alien creature consist of certain deli
cate nerves of the surface of the skin, generally
connected with the roots of the downy hair of
the body— or resting where the hair root s would
naturally be, in the case of a hairless skin. These
seem to report directly to the solar- plexus, which
then act s quickly by reflex action on the other
parts of the body, causing an instinctive feeling
to either fly the scene or else to crouch and hide
oneself.
As strange as it may appear to some of you,
the lower animals possess a kind of telepathic
sense. An animal is usually aware of your feel
ings toward it, and your purposes regarding it .
Domestic animals lose some of this by generations
of confinement, while the wild animals have
the sense highly developed. But even some of
the domestic animals have more or less of it.
Were going to take a side road and things are going to get nasty, I won't lie to you.
How many people kill their own dinner? could you?
If you want to see the disgusting ordeal, go to youtube, I don't need to.
The terror these animals endure before they are murdered is transferred into their bodies, and then you eat it, just like the satanic blood sacrifices are going today, right under our noses.
Enter the world wide child pedophile ring we all know is going on.
They terrorize and torture the child before they murder him or her, unlike the general public they energize their bodies with the blood of their victims.
Do you see the parallel mirrored activities of eating MEAT and the, with intention actions of people in the know of occult knowledge?

T H E ASTRAL SENSES.
The student of occultism usually is quite
familiar with the crass individual who assumes the
cheap skeptical attitude toward occult matters,
which attitude he expresses in his would- be
“ smart” remark that he “ believe s only in what
his sense s perceive.
” He seems to think that his
cheap with as finally disposed of the matter, the
implication being that the occultist is a
credulous,“ easy” person who believes in the
existence of things contrary to the evidence of the
senses.
