Dear Aquarian Navigator,

>> The question is about the philosophers stone. I can hardly understand
about obtaining this stone.Is it obtained by practice or is it by
enlightenment? <<

Bardon used "philosopher's stone" metaphorically, not literally. By the
term, he meant to indicate the perfected, enlightened human that results
from pursuit of the work itself. Such a person is very much like the
Stone in that they perfectly condense and express the Fluids and have
achieved a perfect state of Elemental Equilibrium within all three
bodies (physical, astral and mental).

Alchemy is part of Hermetics and is thus founded upon the same
principles as Hermetic Initiation. Consequently there are many
similarities between Hermetic Initiation and the Alchemical process.
Where they differ is in the medium each is enacted upon -- Alchemy upon
physical matter and Initiation upon the human spirit -- but the end
result can well be labeled the same (i.e., the Philosopher's Stone).

My best to you,
