will be resumed by Rosicrucian
scientists in modern laboratories.
The consulting physicists and
chemists of the newly establish
ed Rosicrucian research labora-
tories in San Jose, Calf, are
said to be convinced that the
allegorical Philosophers Stone"
an intangible medium which
the alchemists, fathers of mod
ern chemistry, believed bound to-
gether all animate and mani
mate things-has a truly scien-
tific existence.
have received from the grand
lodge of the order a communica-
ton to the effect that the preju-
dices which have existed toward
the yelled writings of the al
chemists will be put aside and
a serious attempt made to prove
their contentious in fully equip
ped laboratories, using the IA
cilities of modern science. The
Philosophers Stone" was but a
popular term used by the al
chemists for a prima materia,
an energy out Of which it was
said all matter evolved, even the
lower forms Of life. The trans
mutation of one form of matter
into another was thought posi-
Bile in past centuries by the dis
covery Of this prima materia and
the controlling of its develop
ment.
Modern physics has proven
transmutation possible but has
heretofore sconed the belief in
universal. an element of force
which binds together into a
complex unit living and inor-
ganic matter. II is the hope of
the Rosicrucians, therefore. to
vindicate the ancient alchemists
who were often executed for
their bold beliefs.
The alchemical research will
begin in the new Rosicrucian
AMORC laboratories early in
September this year. it is said,
after a thorough analysis Of
the translated writings of the
ancient Greek and Arabian al
chemists is completed this sum-
mer. The mystical phraseology
used by the slchemists is one of
the greatest difficulties the re-
searchers will encounter.
As an example. the "Philoso-
piers Stone" is often referred
TO in old manuscripts as a SUBJ
stance twas not of wood. nor
any manner Of metal. nor was it
in any wise of stone, nor Of
horn. not Of bone"
