1.Alchemy differs from magic and traditional science because although they might be related in some way they are three different concepts. Magic refers to the possession of supernatural powers. Traditional science is a previously studied way to formulate laws and create knowledge. Finally, alchemy is a combination of philosophical and spiritual components that were used in the past to explain relationships.
These concepts are very dynamic in terms of their application an usage; nonetheless they might be consider nonfactual oftentimes.
2.Holistic medicine relates to the treatment of illness of diseases in the body differently as opposed treated in traditional medicine. This idea supports that treatment should consider the body as a whole; in other words, all the system of the body are interconnected and the any part affected will affect other parts. The relation establishes in the text towards holistic medicine and alchemy is the approach of integration of the being expressing the completeness instead of separateness of all parts.
3.There are other disciplines just like alchemy that search for the elixir of youth and the philosopher stone. For instance, the procedure of regeneration of cells in the medical world aims to find ways to extend life resulting from cell configuration or modification. Basically in terms of the philosopher’s stone it is seen nowadays that societies have place huge values to other metals such as steel to increase the wealth of the people.
The Emerald Tablet
The Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus
The Precepts of Hermes, engraved upon the Emerald Tablet
1. Speak not fictitious things, but that which is certain and true.
2. What is below is like that which is above, and what is above is like that which is below, to accomplish the miracles of one thing.
3. And as all things were produced by the one word of one Being, so all things were produced from this one thing by adaptation.
4. Its father is the sun, its mother the moon; the wind carried it in its belly, its nurse is the earth.
5. It is the father of perfection throughout the world.
6. The power is vigorous if it be changed into earth.
7. Separate the earth from the fire, the subtle from the gross, acting prudently and with judgment.
8. Ascend with the greatest sagacity from the earth to heaven, and then again, descend to the earth, and unite together the powers of things superior and things inferior. Thus will you obtain the glory of the whole world, and obscurity will fly far away from you.
9. this has more fortitude than fortitude itself; because it conquers every subtle thing and can penetrate every solid.
10. Thus the world was formed.
11. Hence proceed wonders, which are here established.
12. Therefore, I am called Hermes Trismegistus, having three parts of the philosophy of the whole world.
13. That which I had to say concerning the operation of the sun is completed.
