[dragonfiremage]

What's alchemy? The hoax of charlatans?
Or mystic quest for stuff of life itself:
eternal search for the Philosopher's Stone,
where mingling and unmingling opposites,
transforms base metal into precious gold.
Hence, scientific metaphor of self:
divide the mind's opposing archetypes
--if you possess the courage for the task--
invite them from the shadows to the light;
unite these lurking shards of broken glass
into a mirror that reflects one soul.
And in this merging of unconscious selves,
there lies the mystic 'marriage of true minds.'
