better. It is the art of manipulating the energies of life. It is an art and as such is the secret of the purification and elevation of body, soul and spirit of any substance of the three kingdoms of nature, whether the mineral kingdom, plant or animal. Alchemy is, in short, the process of transforming the substances in their natural state, common to its immanent state of perfection.The word alchemy is derived from the article and Kherm Al Arab, meaning "black earth" of Egypt on the Nile. There is also the meaning of the Greek root Khermy. which means transmutation, ie the merger, transformation of metals on each other. The resulting Al-Khemia word refers to a mystical and former cultural paradigm in relation to research and understand the laws and forces of nature. In previous paradigm prevailing in ancient Egypt, Persia, Mesopotamia, India, China, and virtually almost all people of antiquity, technical knowledge, the transcendental and the spiritual were interwoven. Consequently, Alchemy was part of life and society. In the current paradigm, there are early signs of change with the increasing number of philosophical and spiritual awareness.In view of this small opening, there is greater acceptance of holistic therapies and vibrational medicine. There is thus open to question the duality mind / body science with the emerging acceptance of quantum mechanics and its principles such as non-locality, the Indeterminacy of the wave-particle duality of, among others that will be seen in other texts.Alchemy has always been seen more as art than as a science. In fact, it embraces elements of various sciences such as chemistry, physics, metallurgy, medicine, astrology, pharmacology, semiotics, mysticism. However, it remains distinct because of its transcendental character and magical. It was practiced throughout the world for millennia, particularly in Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt, Persia, India, Ancient Greece, Rome and Europe, through a complex network of schools and philosophical systems.Surely you've heard the approach of alchemy to chemistry.However, in essence, they are diverse. The alchemists used metaphors and terms of chemistry to deviate themselves from governments and ambitious people who sought the alchemical knowledge only for its own sake, thinking that they could turn lead into gold or could produce the Elixir of Life. Some alchemists report having achieved this feat, the "rush" the work of nature that takes millennia to transmute elements course through alchemical operations.However, the alchemist rare conditions are required for high energy and high level of consciousness to transmute elements. Only true alchemists dominate the understanding and integration with the "spirit" of the elements of nature (fire, water, earth, air) and can, through interaction with them, transmute elements.In fact, it is very clear the difference between alchemy and chemistry. The chemist sees only the chemicals and their combinations to form other chemicals. He does not consider to be a life with energy and matter with which they work (in the mineral, vegetable and animal). Nor does he take into consideration the aspect of self-consciousness, even in rudimentary stages.Conversely, for the alchemist, all entities have Life! He sees the universal in all things and uses the forces
