In ancient times it is believed that a legendary Emerald Tablet existed, one that was said to contain an encoded message written by Hermes 'the father of philosophers' himself. It contained the words of direction known as 'the operation of the Sun', that if one followed with accuracy the method described, that individual would obtain the glory of the whole world, the power of power, wisdom that could not be limited by any obscurity, and the ability to overcome any subtle or great matter. There is a catch however, to obtain it, one must first understand it. It was a riddle and the key to solving this particular riddle has been plaguing philosophers and scientists for millennia. It is the secret to a long standing question. How can one obtain the philosophers' stone? and even more, what is it? Within these pages are a collection of works that answer these very questions. The blueprint of the philosopher stone is obtainable first by the study of philosophy and also through the study of nature. A student of alchemy; philosophy & chemistry, can learn to seek the truth of natural science and discover the secret which only few men have been able to achieve. It starts first with understanding, then continued experimentation. This volume contains several books that will, together, help the student in the pursuit of understanding the blueprint.
