The Alchemical Search for the Unified Field

An in-depth guide to attaining the enlightenment of the Philosopher’s Stone

Explores the alchemical mechanics of the Philosopher’s Stone

Illustrates the sacred geometry behind the creation of the Philosopher’s Stone

Explains how the Philosopher’s Stone relates to the Third Eye and how to balance its energies to attain enlightenment

Inspired by alchemists of the past, R. E. Kretz explores the mechanics of the Philosopher’s Stone, the Pythagorean transmigration of the soul, and the alchemical path for attaining enlightenment.

The author details an illustrative geometric approach for the creation of the Philosopher’s Stone using an "oblong square" (created by three overlapping circles with the centre circle squared), the same shape described in Freemasonry as the form of a Masonic Lodge. He compares this diagram to depictions of the Stone in Mesopotamian, Egyptian, and Hindu cultures as well as floor plans for European cathedrals, showing how the sacred geometry of the oblong square elucidates man as mind, body, and spirit encapsulating a soul.

Describing the relationship between the alchemical oblong square and the electrical circuit of the brain, the author details the operative process of the Philosopher’s Stone, likening it to the servomechanism of the third eye located between the twin pillars of the cerebral hemispheres. He explores how to navigate the twin pillars of the brain to find equilibrium—the third pillar. When the energies of our third eye are in equilibrium, we resonate as a harmonic waveform generator, and he shows how this can be achieved through meditation and the synchronising vibration of vocal mantras.

Drawing on the work of Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry, Hermeticism, sacred geometry, and Native American shamanism, The Alchemical Search for the Unified Field presents an allegorical quest for the Philosopher’s Stone and a path for attaining enlightenment.
