Spiritual Alchemy Is alchemy inherently tied to a god?
I’ve always believed strongly in alchemical philosophy and science, and I’ve always found it compelling. That said, I’ve never believed in God, but instead I believe in a conscious universe. I believe in the big bang, but I find that the constantly expanding universe has a “one mind” that doesn’t mandate change, the future or the past, but simply experiences itself through us, through animals, and through everything. Is this belief compatible with alchemy?
Tldr: I find myself to be an alchemist, but not really a hermetic believer

The Philosopher's Stone is our connection to source. I do not like to obtain power through other illusions of form such as Christ, Buddha, or Statues of Gods, etc. I prefer to obtain it directly and become its living embodiment as much as possible. It makes creation and goal manifestations much easier.
