1. The Book of Aquarius
The purpose of this book is to release one particular secret, which has
been kept hidden for the last 12,000 years. The Philosophers' Stone, Elixir
of Life, Fountain of Youth, Ambrosia, Soma, Amrita, Nectar of Immortality.
These are different names for the same thing.
Throughout history this secret has been used by a very few to extend their
lives hundreds of years in perfect health, with access to unlimited wealth,
among many other miraculous properties. Some kept the secret because
they understood that the time was not right for the secret to be free for
all people, but most kept the secret out of their own jealousy, ignorance,
egotism and corruption.
The Stone's history and the history of the human race up until this day is a
strange story full of secret societies, hooded cloaks, and mystical symbols.
Such theatrics are childish and shallow. It's pointless to look for the 
light
in the shadows.
The Philosophers' Stone operates and is made by entirely natural and
scientific means. Truth is always simple, beautiful and easy to understand.
The Philosophers' Stone is real; you can make it at home. The Stone
makes old people young, heals all forms of sickness and disease, extends
your life, turns any metal into gold, and more, as you will learn. This 
isn't
a myth or a metaphor, it's a fact.
Don't judge this book before you've read it. This is not one of those airy
fairy books written in all kinds of mystical language, filling pages with
words that makes sentences but not sense. This book will make more
sense than anything you've ever read before.

The age of secrets is over. I'm writing this book in common English.
There's no need for mystical language or metaphor. This book contains no
hidden meaning or codes; everything is stated plainly and directly, in
the shortest and simplest of words necessary to convey the meaning.

3. What is Alchemy?
Date: Fri, 26 Aug 2011
Nature enjoys its Nature, Nature contains Nature, improves Nature, reduces
Nature, Nature is superior to Nature.
A Magnificent and Select Tract on Philosophical Water, by Anonymous, 13th -
17th Cen.
Alchemy is the art of imitating and accelerating Nature. It is a natural
art and science. In alchemy we do not really make anything, all we do is
provide a condition for Nature to do what Nature does. So the Philosophers'
Stone is not really made by the alchemist, it is made by Nature. The 
alchemist
only provides the conditions so that Nature can operate effectively and
without being disturbed.

Many Sages, Scholars, and learned men have in all ages, and (according
to Hermes) even so early as the days before the Flood, written much
concerning the preparation of the Philosopher's Stone; and if their books
could be understood without a knowledge of the living processes of
Nature, one might almost say that they are calculated to supersede the
study of the real world around us.

But though they never departed from the simple ways of Nature, they have
something to teach us, which we, in these more sophisticated times, still
need to learn, because we have applied ourselves to what are regarded as
the more advanced branches of knowledge, and despise the study of so
"simple" a thing as natural Generation. Hence we pay more heed to
impossible things than to those objects which are broadly exhibited before
our very eyes; we excel more in subtle speculations than in a sober study
of Nature, and of the meaning of the Sages. It is one of the most remarkable
features of human nature that we neglect those things which seem familiar,
and are eager for new and strange information. The workman who has
attained the highest degree of excellence in his Art, neglects it, and 
applies
himself to something else, or else abuses his knowledge. Our longing for an
increase of knowledge urges us ever onward towards some final goal, in
which we imagine that we shall find full rest and satisfaction Nature, then,
is one, true, simple, self-contained, created by Go- and informed with a
certain universal s-irit. Its end and origin are -od. Its unity is also 
found
in G-d, because Go- made all things. Nature is the one source of all things:
nor is anything in the world outside Nature, or contrary to Nature.

if Art would produce any solid and permanent effect, it must follow in the
footsteps of Nature, and be guided by her methods. It must trust itself to
the guidance of Nature as far as Nature will lead, and go beyond her by
still adhering to her rules.

Now in our Art you should closely imitate these natural processes. There
should be the Central Heat, the change of the water into air, the driving
upward of the air, its diffusion through the pores of the earth, its
reappearance as condensed but volatilized water.

The New Chemical Light, by
Michael S-ndivogius, 17th Cen.

Nature, says Florus, is one, and if any man strays away from her guidance,
he mars his labor.

In changing the base metals into gold and silver by the projection of the
Stone, it follows (by an accelerated process) the method of nature, and
therefore is natural.

The fact is that, in producing gold, the Art of Alchemy does not pretend to
imitate in the whole work of Nature.
It does not create metals, or even develop them out of the metallic first
substance; it only takes up the unfinished handiwork of Nature [i.e., the
imperfect metals), and completes it (transmutes metals into gold).

The New Pearl of Great Price, by
Peter B-nus, 1338 An alchemist then only makes the Stone in the same
way that you make a tree by planting the seed and leaving it for a few
years. Once the seed is set, if the conditions are right then it just grows
by itself, in accordance with Nature.

For as Men, Corn and Herbs are, every one of them, generated and born
out of their own Specific Seed, so or in the same manner is the true
Medicine of the Ancients (than which there cannot be a better) generated
and prepared out of the most perfect bodies and essence Everything
generated or begotten is generated and born of his own specific seed
(1) and in his proper (2) matrix.

The Chemists Key, by Henry N-llius, 1617
there is no true generation, but of things agreeing in nature. So that
things be not made but according to their natures. The elder or oak
trees will not bring forth pears; nor can you gather grapes of thorns,
or figs of thistles, things bring not forth, but only their like, or what
agrees with the in nature, each tree its own fruit.

Thus the wise man does that by art in a short time, which nature cannot
perform in less than the r-volution of a thousand years. Yet
notwithstanding, it is not we that make the metal, but nature herself
that does it. --- 
Nor do or can we change one thing into another; but it is nature that
changes them.
We are no more than mere servants in the work.

The Root of the World, by Roger Bacon, 13th Cen.

If you are wondering how this leads to the Philosophers' Stone, I
will explain it more clearly. The Philosophers' Stone is a natural
occurrence of Nature, in fact it is the aim of Nature. Therefore if you
can find a substance which is very pure and infused with life-energy,
then put it under protected conditions which are advantageous for
its natural development, you will allow Nature to take its course in
an accelerated manner. When this is complete, Nature will have
made for you the Philosophers' Stone. It's very simple and entirely
natural, which is the biggest part of the s-cret. I will explain again
in another way: the Philosophers' Stone is the name of the thing that
you get when Nature has finished doing what it does all day long.
The Earth and the entire universe are going through this process. If,
however, you find a substance already quite well matured by Nature,
clean it up, then put it into a closed system, or microcosm, Nature
will finish this thing long before it finishes everything else. So you get
the result of Nature earlier and can enjoy all its wonderful properties
while the rest of the world is still in sh-t.

The chemical development of our substance is internal, and caused
by the operation of Nature.
