“Our gold is not vulgar gold, but living gold, the true gold of God... There is a spiritual chemistry which purifies with tears, sublimes with morality and virtues, adorns with sacred graces, makes even the putrid body and vile dust to receive life, and makes the soul worthy of the contemplation of heavenly things and the angelic world. This is the use of spiritual alchemy, by which, through the power of the resurrection of the Iesus Christus Dominus Noster, the end will be attained.” [Robert Fludd]
