The Alchemical Search for the Unified Field: Pythagorean, Hermetic, and Shamanic Journeys into Invisible and Ethereal Realms

R. E. Kretz explores the mechanics of the Philosophers Stone, the Pythagorean transmigration of the soul, and the alchemical path for attaining enlightenment. He compares the oblong square diagram to depictions in Mesopotamian, Egyptian, and Hindu cultures and explains how it contains Masonic working tools and elucidates Man as mind, body, and spirit. He likens the operative process to the "servomechanism" of the Third Eye and explains how to attain enlightenment through meditation and the synchronizing vibration of vocal mantras.

An in-depth exploration into the realm of alchemy, inspired by the wisdom of alchemists throughout history, delves into the mysteries of the Philosopher's Stone, the Pythagorean transmigration of the soul, and the alchemical path to enlightenment.

Beginning with a concise historical overview of alchemy and the etiologies of the three alchemical states of primal matter, the author proceeds to detail an illustrative geometric approach for creating the Philosopher's Stone. Employing an "oblong square" constructed through the overlapping of three circles, each with the center circle squared, the author compares this diagram to depictions of the Stone in various cultures, including Mesopotamian, Egyptian, and Hindu traditions, as well as floorplans for European cathedrals.

Exploring the profound relationship between the alchemical oblong square diagram and the electrical circuitry of the brain, the author elucidates the operative process of the Philosopher's Stone, likening it to the "servomechanism" of the Third Eye. Situated between the twin pillars of the cerebral hemispheres, the Third Eye comprises the thalamus, pineal gland, and pituitary gland. Through a detailed exploration, the author reveals how to navigate these pillars to attain equilibrium, the third pillar, which is essential for enlightenment.

According to the author, enlightenment is attained when the energies of the Third Eye are balanced, resonating as a harmonic waveform generator. He offers practical guidance on achieving this state through meditation and the synchronizing vibration of vocal mantras. Drawing upon a rich tapestry of knowledge, including Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry, Hermeticism, sacred geometry, and Native American wisdom, the author presents a comprehensive guide that empowers individuals to embark on a transformative journey toward enlightenment.
