‘We know that the goal of alchemy is transformation from lower forms to higher forms,’ began Saini. ‘But it is the uninitiated who think that this means transforming lead to gold.

The stone is irrelevant, it’s the transformation that it brings in the person who meditates upon it that is much more relevant. The philosopher is more important than the stone!’
