Alchemy is dropped in many metaphysical systems.
John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life."
The theme of being 'filled with light' (the lightbody breaking through) is touched upon in Thomas 61.
T 507: "... if one is (whole), one will be filled with light, but if one is divided, one will be filled with darkness.
Lambdin (NHL, 133): ". . . if he is (undivided: lst Ed.) (destroyed: 3rd Ed.) he will be filled with light, but if he is divided, he will be filled with darkness."
Layton, p. 391: " such a person, once integrated, will become full of light, but such a person, once divided, will become full of darkness.."
Meyer, p. 47: ". . . if one is (whole), one will be filled with light, but if one is divided, one will be filled with darkness."
R. McL. Wilson, NTA-1965, vol. l, p. 517): ". . . when it is undivided it will be filled with light, but when it is divided it will be filled with darkness."
It is said of Adam Kadmon (the Letters part 2, email 8) that he has light 'coming from his mouth, ears, and nose'.
The only alchemy involved is the transformation from death to eternal life through faith in the Gospel of the Kingdom of God,
The Paris 4 say alchemy has nothing to do wity faith. You are chosen. Pulled. Dragged. You cannot invite yourself to the Grail-stone (Christ).
which was Jesus' mandate from the Father.
This is from the Ric article:
'Whether Jesus ever actually existed has long been debated. The argument, very well documented, is, that there is absolutely no corroborating evidence of his existence in documents, other than highly suspect Christian sources.' [R.Eisler]
46.
'If Jesus had only done half of what he is supposed to have done, then portions of that half would have been in Roman and Jewish documents written before 34 AD.' [Musing]
47.
'The earliest rabbinic writings make no mention of the Christian godman. Only when Christianity became a serious challenge to Judaism did the Rabbis start to manufacture black propaganda of their own.' [ K. Humphreys on www.jesusneverexisted.com/surfeit.htm ]
48.
'As Kenneth Humphreys points out (www.jesusneverexisted.com/surfeit.htm), Josephus, Tacitus and Suetonius weren't even born in 33 AD.' [Musing]
49.
'We don't know whether a man called Jesus ever lived (...), but the Gospel never took place.' [The Paris 4]
50.
'The few words on Jesus outside the Bible we have from the second half of the first century only prove a faith was there. That people believed he had existed. Not that he had existed.' [Musing]
51.
'Virtually all the commentators simply cannot cut the emotional umbilical cord tying them to the idealistic image of the Nazarene Jesus they have created in their minds.' [N. Carter]
52.
'The acts of Jesus are as fictional as the acts of Parzival.' [The Paris 4]
Luke 4:43
"I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent." NKJV This involves faith in Jesus who is God's Anointed One (Messiah) and appointed King and High Priest of the Kingdom of God, who is also the cornerstone rejected by men who will crush those who reject the Gospel as well as light the fire of eternal life in those who do accept the Gospel.
So you see Davis, I did not just skim your topic-starter.
But you did. No stone is going to crush anything. And with this post you clearly admitted that my topic-starter was metaphysical.
Peace.
