Richard Scott, In the last 30 years I have read (science journals) where using lots of energy i.e. bombarding a base metal with neutron radiation from a circular particle accelerator in which charged subatomic particles generated at a central source are accelerated spirally outward in a plane perpendicular to a fixed magnetic field by an alternating electric field. A cyclotron is capable of generating particle energies between a few million and several tens of millions of electron volts. I have read several methods and so far they all take lots of energy. Sincerely, Robert Hi Rawn et al, Wondered if you could add some insight to the following: Given the emphasis within Bardon's hierarchy of spirits and Principals, presumably physical alchemy (as opposed to inner energetic alchemy) serves a higher purpose than extending human lifespan, creating precious metals or removing flaws from gemstones. Can you add any insight as to the true purpose of physical alchemy, both from a human, elemental and cosmic perspective? My reasoning tells me that perhaps it has to do with the storage and transfer of enormous amounts of vital energy, and with creating sentience within the mineral kingdom, but this could be completely off the mark.
