you know, as I was going through grad school and undergrad, you know, the history that we would get in science is that the alchemists were a bunch of pseudoscientists who were just trying to turn lead into gold. And we know that can't be possible. So they were just, it was waved away as a sort of an embarrassment, if you will. But so my mindset was that, but it kept coming up synchronistically.

It kept coming up and the alchemist. So when I finally opened up my mind, because it's synchronicity, just kept saying, look at this, look at this. As I looked at it, I realized, oh, that alchemy isn't what we were taught at all. This is actually a goldmine worth of wisdom. And it was the origin point of where science even came from. The alchemists were the original scientists.

But when it was alchemy, science and spirit were interwoven, like you couldn't separate the two of them. And, and it was very practical. You know, so, so, so many of our forefathers of modern science were alchemists. Isaac Newton was a great example. You know, Bohm. I mean, there's so many. And we separated at that time after, you know, the scientific revolution really came in, I would say.

And it could have been before, you know, it was a long, many hundreds of years worth of like trying to find the math and the, but I think there was a political reason ultimately why science and spirit separated because the church was the authority of all things spiritual in the European world anyway.

And the alchemist wanted to be able to research and study and understand nature and the physical laws. but it was going against church dogma. So there was a reason why they had to sort of separate. They just said like, look, let's leave anything spiritual to the authority of the church and let us just research the physical world and how this works so that we can understand.

Ultimately, their goal was to understand God's creation. But down the line later, it became more and more and more secularized and more and more removed from anything spiritual. But it wasn't because there was a fundamental difference. or conflict between spirit and physical or physics. It was more political.

Yeah, I mean, Isaac Newton, he wrote Principia, and that was like the big thing that all the laws of motion came off of. And it was one paper. But meanwhile, he had hundreds and hundreds of journals that were all about alchemy. And he even warned, you know, the scientists and his fellow alchemists, like, don't take the divine out of the picture, right? And don't make the world a great machine.

Don't make the universe a great machine. But that is exactly what they ended up doing. So I think that if we hadn't gone in that direction, if we had gone in the direction that Newton originally intended, you know, we would probably be very much ahead.
