Before I listened to this book, I had no idea how important alchemy has been in the development of human philosophy, science, medicine, psychology, spirituality, and literature. It has been a central intellectual discipline for thousands of years and its influence is everywhere. It is truly a universal science, a unique merging of science, philosophy and religion that still has the power to transform us. Only Dennis William Hauck, a noted researcher in Consciousness Studies who spent many years following the roots of alchemy in our civilization, could have produced this comprehensive, insightful and inspiring view of alchemy in all its aspects. No matter what your interests or occupation, you will find something in this book to increase your creativity and transform the way you look at the world.
