Editorial

By Leonardo Anfolsi - Edited by Pier Fabrizio Piola

To create Gold through Alchemy is just like free climbing a very steep cliff without any safety lock, a situation where the handholds are few, tilted and small.

Nevertheless, we can make Gold, absolutely.

But, first of all, we have to keep in mind that the “handholds” are really a few. This is mainly due to the fact that expectations grow great and most people might be tempted to believe they have found a wondrous shortcut to get easily rich without any effort. But such a belief just tantamounts to say that Alchemy is something that can be separated from life - or we should say, in a better way, “separated from karma” – as a form of knowledge that is capable to stand out on its own, unconnected to all that inner and outer universal algebra, to stand isolated outside of the whole hologram of synchronicity that allows us to be successful (or not) in whatever we pursue.

Well, such a belief couldn’t be more far away from the truth. In fact Alchemy doesn’t stand out of the game, because Alchemy is THE game.

Definitely, again, one can create Gold through Alchemy, and for some people the task would prove to be quite an easy one, but just as long as ...

The person has no vile, material interest in making it;

The person has no the material need to do it;

The person has a true desire to make alchemical gold in order to help others, also keeping in mind that people are always capable of “helping themselves”, something that has to be kept in mind and that provides us the refined skill of a real helper.

Alchemy is NOT chemistry. Fulcanelli made it clear for our benefit when he stated in his own words:

“Here is the secret of Alchemy: there is a way to manipulate Matter and Energy such that eventually is generated what a modern scientist would call a Force Field. This Field is active on Matter and as well on the Observer and by doing so the Field will position this particular individual a privileged position in relation to the rest of the Universe. From this position the Observer gains access to all the dimensions of reality normally hidden by time and space and by energy and matter. This is what we, alchemists, call the Great Work.”

The “handholds” are tilted, because the alchemical instructions have to be fully understood, both in their symbolic meaning and also in a practical and functional way.

For instance when the ancient authors wrote the instruction “coobate”, the operating practitioner must know all its implications:

1) distill, and 2) throw again on the sediments (caput), and 3) distill again, and how many times repeat this stage... and 4) this will depend from several factors, because you are bound to obtain whatever… 5) whatever will be mentioned in the next phase… 6) obviously.

Obviously?

It is no really obvious, I think. Many readers and members of various forums dealing with Alchemy keep on sending posts always asking the same questions. The same happens when I read most of the e-mails sent to me on classic Alchemy topics. Why this apparently endless reiteration of the same questions?

In order to succeed, one must accept to fail, and to fail many times too. Because in order to truly succeed one has to learn, and Learning – since we here intend “learning” in the meaning which is typical of the metaphysical experiences rather than in its modern scientifical acceptation – is a process that has to do with situations such as facing the frustration, or rather living with it, may be also for quite some time, until a divine crack opens and one can finally move into a new level of perception, realize a new completeness and reach a new achievement. Eureka.

True science is research, and research never stops; otherwise what we call science would become only a scholastic reference to dated principles, or a compulsive and inexhaustible need to formulate definitive explanations, based on a ultimate general theory, turning a blind eye to everything that might appear to be inconsistent with it.

That is why in this issue we quote Bruner:

“Now obviously, research on anything will yield findings that mirror its procedures for observing or measuring. Science always invents a conforming reality in just that way. When we` confirm ‘our theory by `observations’, we devise procedures that will favor the theory’s plausibility.”

The awareness of the inherent fallacy of any description was the reason behind the alchemists’ choice to abstain from formulating general theories. Then is easy to realize that it was Lavoisier and other “chemists” who attributed the “Phlogiston” theory to the Alchemists, since the alchemists would have never be so vague to formulate “A Theory”.

Actually “phlogiston” was only an observation formulated to satisfy the needs of an immediate practice, and not at all a sort of “prehistoric attempt” to describe the dizzying heights of thermodynamics. Why an alchemist would be interested in creating such abstract theories?

Paracelsus is notorious for several contradictory statements, creating a sort of book of operational/perceptual principle; thinking within a real alchemical mindset they should not be considered like a domino game, or like a series of dots waiting to be connected with a pen line. The principles of Paracelsus are symptoms of a discovery, are evocations of mental states, all of which apply both to the Being and to the transient becoming, and at the same time relating to laboratory works, intended from a wider and deeper perception.

Finally we have stated that the “handholds” are small; this limit depends on the fact that a really effective instruction it is indeed quite a rare find, the same a good recipe that makes sense.

The world seems to be populated by “clumsy and inattentive scribes”, people quoting other people, continuing in bequeathing to the next generations all kinds of inaccuracies and typos.

In this sense the first chemists were meritorious in trying to make some viable order, and we are not only talking of the likes of Lemery and Dalton; Boyle too tried to do the same, but he eventually appeared to the new science theologians to be too much a “scepticus”, and almost “a witch doctor” to persuade them.

Having said and illustrated all the above we can now return to the initial question: why should we make Gold?

The Alchemists know that the Gold that you can “make” is not yours to keep, since it belongs to the poor, to the sick, to the needs for development of human culture and civilization. This Gold belongs to the Spirit, too, but to the extent of how much one is able to use it to the benefit of those who deserve it.

The ethics of the alchemists are very practical ones, not moralistic:

To Live an Awakened Life is much more important than to live a Long Life.

To Live in the Joy of the Spirit tantamounts to be the richest person on Earth.

To remember that when you meet an alchemist full of joy and affection you might understand that your search is finally over and that in such a person you have found a brother or a sister.

That is the reason why the alchemists of the past, even the multi-billionaire, choosed to live in normal houses and used for themselves just that much that was needed to keep them going in their profession or trade.

Flamel was a scribe, Lefebre and Starkey were pharmacists, De Sangro was a nobleman, Fioravanti and Falloppio were anatomists and physicians and Gualdi was an entrepreneur in the mining trade.

Federico Gualdi showed on several occasions that he could spend at will any amount of money, yet one could find him every day walking down the streets of Venice bargaining on batches of minerals with casters, goldsmiths, pharmacists, builders and tradesmen. And when they asked him why was he still working, his answer was: “Why you’re asking me? What else should I do?”.

On making gold I

On making gold yesterday - Tradition, ethics, history

By Janet Sambucetti and Leonardo Anfolsi

Just a few words about the glorious past of Alchemy.

It is essential not to fall into the incorrect idea of believing that alchemy only means “to make gold”, as we have already explained in the editorial, and we invite everyone to read it because it contains all the ethics of the science/art in just a few sentences. Every form, sector or level of knowledge involves an unavoidable responsibility, even if we do not know or notice it.

Suffice it to say that the alchemists of the past were not attracted by gold but by Art. Ars Gratia Artis. Making gold to them was a demonstration of an intellectual refinement, both operational and spiritual.[1]

The ethics of the true, ancient alchemists forced them to use gold produced in the laboratory for the benefit of the sick and the poor, and, for themselves, only to finance the start of a trade or a profession.

But it goes without saying that modern alchemy critics are fond of the image of the alchemist, disheveled, filthy, obsessed by gold; this is the typical image for all alchemists. So much so that, as we have already repeated, many alchemists such as Newton, Boyle, Malpighi, and Falloppio are still being defined in extremely convoluted ways – such as neoteric iatrochemist for Malpighi! - in order not to call them alchemists.

By the way, many of those disheveled alchemists who actually were feverishly seeking the Philosopher’s Stone, discovered and invented many new substances, instruments and medicines. However, until the seventeenth century, the professional figure of the alchemist could not always be precisely defined, as long as kings, nobles, princes, universities and hospitals did not have a need for a qualified pharmacist. This has been particularly crucial in Germany, bringing its influence throughout Europe.

It should be added that, thanks to universities, sometimes the alchemist was both a physician and a pharmacist and even an astrologer, as Paracelsus, who studied astrology in Ferrara, suggested. In other cases the alchemist offered his services to the court of a king, sometimes rising to administrator of the botanical garden and the pharmacy of the king. When he was less able or fortunate, the alchemist could be hired by a noble lover of science perhaps as tutor to his heirs, and in some cases was shared between many nobles, as it was for Fioravanti and Borri.

We also present the case in the third issue of the Philosophical Transactions, born from the dream of the German Londoner scholar, Hartlib. From this juncture, a young king, Charles II, as an act of restoration of the monarchy, began to sponsor the projects of Hartlib and later alchemists with big names such as Newton and Boyle, founders of the Royal Society.

We will truly see how these two researchers were ungrateful apprentices of George Starkey, a young and timid Calvinist pastor, a native of Bermuda and a naturalized American, who ended up in London, where he became famous in the Hartlib circle for his alchemist abilities, and as an iatrochemist and furnace manufacturer.

Now we come to understand real alchemy in terms of initiation or, at least, esoterically or even in a speculative sense, thus finishing our excursus on the alchemy of the past in the West.

A word that remained well-known in Europe and has continued to fascinate America was Rosa+Croce.

A foolish plot-mania has linked this historical reality with the Illuminati of Bavaria and mixed as many groups as possible, even with individuals (such as Pike and Mazzini), inventing impossible soups in which either the Rosicrucians or the Masons, or Jesuits or whoever would be - just pick one - were Communists, Nazis, homosexuals, homophobics, perverts or moralists, then of course aliens or elohims, because faithful people don’t study history or, if they do, they don’t have a clue of what is going on out there in the big world but like to be opinionated.

The historical reality is more simple and easily delineated in a nutshell. Valentin Andreae, a German Protestant pastor whose mother was an alchemist, assisted by Tobias Adami made a manifesto intended to intrigue Europe. In the manifesto, he stated that a group of Masters were hiding among ordinary people carrying wonderful discoveries that could transform the world into a paradise. This paradise included Parnassus, then Cristianopoli and then la Città del Sole, the Sun City.[2]

Meanwhile many Europeans were now disinterested in the various, quarrelsome fideistic religions, guided by their heads as well as by their hearts, sought precisely what the two friends were trying to propose; nonetheless Andreae and Adami were dragged to court and were accused of having created a sinister secret organization, when in fact, they told them that it was just a joke, a “ludibrium Rosicrucianum”.

They fared well actually but were not very dignified despite all the posthumous prophetic esoteric inventions about Christian Rosenkreutz et cetera, but most came to recognize in the name “Rosa+Croce” a quantity of contents connecting everything with a new way of conceiving the world, which was what Paracelsus had set out to do: the creation of a new Europe based on knowledge and the exchange of experiences.

Thus organizations sprang up everywhere devoted to self-knowledge, or reintegration, or regeneration (palingenesis), which led to several similar or closely-related names to that of the Rosicrucians. Historically, the name “Rosicrucians” was coined for these organizations and for those more close to us, the “neo-Rosicrucians”.

So if someone tells you that “I’m a Rosa+croce (rose+cross)” treat him with fraternal acquiescence because if he/she is a madcap or, may be, has survived for about three and a half centuries.

Yet we are still debating whether this reality was born in Italy at the Gonzaga court, one of the Medici, being taken from the preaching of Giordano Bruno, who had a large following in England, or in a group of German philosophers.

Then came Freemasonry, as a large container of virtual initiatory principles, showing the degree of Rosicrucian Prince, both in the Scottish Rite and in the various Egyptians Rites; then there were masonic orders considered as direct emanations of the various ancient Rosicrucian fellowships.

What has all this to do with alchemy?

Some of Rosicrucian groups had already established initiatory schools during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, in which the RANKS maximum division concerned Ergon and Parergon, where what is essential, the ergon, was the meditation and prayer to merge with the absolute, while the ergon approach was the alchemy. We can add that some read the word “rose” as dew and the word “cross” as crucible, which could actually fit.[3]

We still have the text, almost complete, of the group rituals but also of laboratory practices, where it is specified that success in the Philosopher’s Stone quest was regarded as an excellent start for the final phase of absorption into the Divine Reality. In the first phase, these classes were taught in the laboratory through a path that worked on vitriol.

Since we talked about it, a question may arise: What was the historical connection between the discipline of alchemy and Freemasonry?

Building an inner temple may have an affinity with the alchemical laboratory? Somebody answers yes.

As we have said, several Rosicrucian groups also had a ritual; so it became easy for many authors to bring alchemy to Masonic symbolism; the Tschudy Baron, Oswald Wirth, Grillot De Givry, are the best known names of those who approached these two forms of symbolism and in some ways gathered them together.

To conclude this excursus on making gold in antiquity, we can add that, under the law, the alchemist has almost always been sentenced to death, considered a fraud by the state, and therefore making gold has always had a bad reputation. For what we know only three alchemists received some kind of reward or approval from the people of their time and they were the Parisians, Nicolas and Pernelle Flamel, and the Polish Sędziwój - better known as Sendivogius. All the other researchers, unless they were under the patronage of princes, nobles or universities, had been, until the eighteenth century at least, misunderstood.

Moreover alchemical gold, once realized, if it is not prepared with precision, has a dry and a warmer radiance that make it easily recognizable since it has a unique purity.

If the readers are really interested in alchemical transmutations throughout history, just sincerely searching, they will realize that history is full of them.

Those interested will find more historical information in future editions of NitroGeno, in which we will write about the Roman Emperor, Diocletian, and his dispute with Egypt, who paid taxes with alchemical gold, and we will write of Cleopatra that dissolved a large pearl in a glass of “vinegar” in just a few seconds, then drank the liquid. In our advertisement-video for this issue of NitroGeno, we have included the case of Baron Von Reussestein who helped the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinando III’s, producing enough gold to win the Thirty Years War against the Swedish front. It was a typical example of a perfect collaboration between an alchemist and a monarch; the first did not want to become emperor and the second did not want to invade every country on the planet, so they both did well for what was their responsibility.[4]

These stories, which have the same credibility and sources as all other historical facts, do not leave any doubt in the reader?

I’m sure that there could be a doubt even in a practicing alchemist, if teams of expert chemists try their best to make gold, and finally they succeed in producing real gold - without adding it during the process or playing other tricks - but not in enough quantity to pay for all the expenses that the process requires.

So, maybe, again, the wise Fulcanelli’s statement makes sense:

“Here is the secret of Alchemy: there is a way to manipulate Matter and Energy such that eventually is generated what a modern scientist would call a Force Field. This Field is active on Matter and as well on the Observer and by doing so the Field will position this particular individual a privileged position in relation to the rest of the Universe. From this position the Observer gains access to all the dimensions of reality normally hidden by time and space and by energy and matter. This is what we, alchemists, call the Great Work.”

Art for art’s sake.[1]

These mythical place names are derived from Traiano Boccalini, from Andreae himself and then by Friar Tommaso Campanella who donated to the two friends the manuscript of “The City of the Sun”, which was first published in Germany by Adami.[2]

Ergon means “doing” or “the real thing” - in this case the essential fact of contemplation - and Parergon or Parerga “accessory” which in this case means the material operation, or thus the laboratory practice.[3]

This is Cleopatra who is the fifth Cleopatra of the Egyptian dynasty of Tolom[4]

On making gold II

Transmutation recipe for making Gold

By Roberto A. Monti

The experiment below is extracted from the Andromeda Press 85/2001 entitled “Making your own gold!” by physicist, Robert A. Monti, who claims to have discovered the reason why scientists, Fleischmann and Pons, discoverers of cold fusion in 1988, were wrong in their procedure.[1]

Monti reports that in their system, the Palladio did not act only as a catalyst for Deuterium + Deuterium reactions but “entered” into the reaction, polluting the system and then stopping the reaction of infinite production of energy.

We will take a look at what Dr. Monti says about all this history and the production of gold.

As a result of nuclear reactions at low energy (“Alchemic” reactions) between Palladio and Deuteroxide of Lithium (LiOD), the Palladium burned like a match forming a plethora of new nuclei and this blocked the reaction and did not allow the process to continue.

In short, it was soon evident that the match of Fleischmann and Pons could burn only once (the experiment was not “reproducible”) and therefore could not be a “continuous source of energy”; the “non-repeatability” of the experiment therefore allowed the academic world to quickly discredit the question.

In 1996 the scientist, Mizuno, together with his collaborators, finally went to see what was in the Palladio electrodes after the reactions of “cold fusion” and found inside a thick layer of micron, chromium, iron, copper, platinum, calcium, titanium, manganese, cobalt, zinc, cadmium, tin, lead, gadolinium, arsenic, bromine, antimony, tellurium, indium, xenon, hafnium, rhenium and iridium.

I later got in touch with John O’Mara Bockris, an internationally renowned electrochemist, who also wanted to see inside the electrodes of cold fusion and found: Magnesium (6.7%), silicon (10.2%), chlorine ( 3%), potassium (1.1%), calcium (19.9%), titanium (1.6%), iron (10.5%), copper (1.9%), zinc (4.2%), palladium (31.9%), silver (1.9%), platinum (7.1%). Imagine that the initial concentration of the Palladium purity was 99.8%: from where did all those substances pop up?

Connobi Bockris went to a conference in Como in 1992 when a pushy, innovative entrepreneur (one William Telander) offered him a substantial amount of money to repeat some tests on the “transmutation of metal” designed by a certain Joe Champion (the project was baptized “The Philadelphia Project”), who saw fit to make me come from Italy to College Station, Texas, as the only “Alchemy expert” that he knew. I was supposed to stay a week: I stayed six months.

The first of these experiments performed in my presence revealed to me immediately what it was. I had seen this in an illustration from some five hundred years earlier (the “Twelfth key” of Basil Valentine) and it worked; a mixture of chemical objects with guaranteed purity, and a few milligrams of gold jumped out that was not there before (in terms of atoms, this is an enormity).

I started, immediately, to really enjoy this stuff, but when it comes to scientific matters, I trust only myself. I wanted to be quite sure that there was not a trick. So, taking advantage of the fact that the Chinese and Indian assistants took off regularly at five in the afternoon (this for me was almost before morning), I prepared a test in solitude adding some ideas taken from my alchemical readings.

I remember the moment very well when, at the conclusion of the several experiments, I found myself looking at nine yellow balls, made of pure gold in the bottom of a beacker.

It’s very true: the first gold is never forgotten.

It was only a few milligrams, but for me, it was enough. In October 1992, I returned to Italy and made a new offer to the CNR: producing noble metals such as gold, silver, platinum, using the mines of Sardinia as a “cover”, to heal the national debt.

I never got an answer. I guess they thought I was crazy.

I then decided to change the initial project. I thought of using transmutation reactions to break down radioactive waste, the dangerous and inconvenient waste of nuclear power plants and, in particular, to use the production of silver as the primary means for the removal of the waste. This project received credit and financing by a Canadian company where I still work.

The experimental results have confirmed that the verifiable indications that exist in Alchemy lyrics are always correct, proving that Alchemy is an experimental science, and I want to prove it by means of an easily reproducible experiment by anyone and with a relatively low expenditure.

GOLD PREPARATION

My intention then is to provide enough information to clearly demonstrate that Alchemy is actually an experimental Science with an experiment easily reproducible by anyone and is inexpensive to do.

The ingredients:

1 kg of Mercury (Hg), for example in the product catalog, Carlo Erba Reagents, Code No. 460 737; market cost about 250 euro per kilo

6 liters of nitric acid 65% RPE, for example in the product catalog, Carlo Erba Reagent No. 408 022; market cost about 25 euro per liter

5 liters distilled water, 5 € (at the supermarket)

1 liter of white wine vinegar, 1 euro (at the supermarket)

1 liter of Glacial Acetic Acid 99-100% from the Polichimica srl of Bologna; market cost 8 euro per liter

a couple of jars for Zuegg jam (empty of course).[2]

PS: as you can see by these costs, especially that of mercury, that it is not convenient to produce gold in this way, but it certainly allows the scientific operation of an alchemical transmutation.

This is the recipe dictated by Dr. Roberto Monti.

First operation

Dissolve 100 g of Hg in Nitric Acid (HNO3) in the proportion 1:5 (example: 100cc of HNO3 + 500cc of distilled H2O for a total of 600 cc).

Simply put the Mercury into a beaker of 250 cc glass Pyrex (€ 5).

Then pour the Mercury into the nitric acid solution 1:5 to fill the beaker.

Put the beaker on a hot plate by adjusting the temperature to 90°C with a normal thermometer.

The dissolution can be done easily in one day (add the solution of HNO3 + H2O little by little to allow it to evaporate taking it to 600 cc). The mercury is totally dissolved, and shows signs of appreciable gold.

Second operation

Put the remaining 900 g of mercury in a glass container (I find the Zuegg jam packs to work very well).

It verses above the Mercury a mixture (50%) of white and Acetic Acid Glacial 99-100% wine vinegar up to the level of the second swelling of Zuegg jar.

Third operation

Seal the jar tightly and shake the contents until you see the Mercury divide into tiny balls (this takes a few minutes); put it away in a locked drawer and repeat this operation preferably every day, whenever it comes to mind.

Fourth operation

After 10-15 days (just enough time to eat easily the contents of a second quantity of “Traditional Zuegg” and so you will have the second jar) the “scum” begins to “exit” from the Mercury. You should, at this point, “clean” the mixture of vinegar and acetic acid using the second Zuegg jar. The purpose is to shake the contents of the first jar until the sediments are well suspended in the solution.

Pour the solution into the empty jar (taking care not to allow the Mercury to leave) and fill the first (to the level indicated) with the previously prepared solution (preserving which solution goes into each glass container).

Fifth operation

Let the second jar of solution rest until the sediments are well deposited on the bottom (10 - 15 days).

Repeat the fourth operation for about four months, whenever it suits you: two jars of “Traditional”, a liter of white wine vinegar and a liter of acetic acid are therefore usually more than enough.

Sixth operation

After about four months (depending on the efforts made) you can extract the first gold from the Mercury.

Take 100 g of “treated” Hg and dissolve it in nitric acid 1: 5, as in the first operation.

The mercury dissolves slowly and, when it is reduced to a ball, be careful; at some point it will “explode” by expelling all the gold produced that will then disperse to the bottom of the beaker in the form of a “dust” of very fine specks of gold that you can see.

I have worked many times with Gold in different ways, but the gold extracted directly from

Mercury in this way is the most beautiful I’ve seen.

So you can repeat this process eight times and produce enough gold, leaving no doubt about the reality of this Alchemy (My advice is to “clean up” the Gold product with a solution of 1:2 HNO3 + H2O. Wash with distilled water and dry your gold inside the beaker on the hot plate. Finally also keep the nitrate of Mercury product in a glass container, useful from time to time).

By following these instructions you will have produced your first Gold and can, therefore, consider more carefully the real possibility of the existence of the Philosopher’s Stone, and of the Trasmutatorio Elixir and the Elixir of Long Life.

I’m not an Adept, and so I have not the Stone, but I feel certain I have the ability to produce it. I, however, had a number of confirmations of the fact that there were ancients who were in possession of it, by Diogenes Laertius in the “Epimenides Life” and, more recently, by Albert the Great (1270), Glauber (1300), Basil Valentine (1400), Flamel (1413), Aurach de Argentina (1475), Salomon Trismosin (1500), Irenaeus Philalethes (1645).

Important note: we consider it appropriate to point out to all the “little alchemists” who want to try their hand in the business, that the elements mentioned by Dr. Roberto A. Monti (mercury, glacial acetic acid, nitric acid, etc.) Are TOXIC and / or aggravated and therefore must be handled with extreme attention mainly to the skin, eyes and lungs.

On making gold III

How a japanese chemist did it

Hantaro Nagaoka (1865-1950) was a famous Japanese physicist and chemist who contributed importantly to the atomic model.

Nagaoka received an education at Tokyo University and travelled to many places in the world to learn, experiment and discover, meeting many famous scientists on the way. He was also a professor in physics at Tokyo University for a period of time.

Hantaro Nagaoka reviewed Thomson’s atomic model and disagreed with it, saying that electrons couldn’t be located in the positively charged atom. He modified Thomson’s model, stating that the negatively charged electrons were actually located outside the atom, and that they orbit around it.

His model resembled a mini-solar system, or the planet Saturn with its external disk, which is why he called it the “Saturn model”.

Nagaoka was the first to propose the idea that negatively-charged electrons are located on the outside of the atom. From his “Saturn model”, following scientists Ernest Rutherford and Niels Bohr came up with their models, agreeing with Nagaoka’s theory and going forth, so we can say that Nagaoka made really amazing discoveries, and he has definitely influenced our knowledge of chemistry.

Nagaoka went beyond the making of a philosopher’s stone, he actually transmuted straight away mercury into gold in 1924, during a nuclear experiment. They put one mercury isotope under a layer of paraffin oil and pointed 150 000 volts of electricity at it, in order to create a new element. And they succeeded, they made gold out of mercury.

All that, again, thanks to professor Hantaro Nagaoka.

The gold of the ancients

The curious case of an experiment with alchemy Atul Sethi | TNN | Jun 1, 2008, 03.29 AM IST

Here you can read an article from the Hindustan Times regarding three cases in all of alchemical transmutations performed in front of very worthy and reliable witnesses. You can find the two engraved quotations in the article written by Ludwik Kowalski that are not included here.

On one of the walls of the Birla temple in New Delhi is engraved an unusual inscription. Unusual, because it contains an amazing first-person account of an alchemical experiment purportedly conducted in the early 1940s in Delhi, which was witnessed by a few prominent people of that time. It was an experiment in which mercury was successfully transformed into gold - or so the inscription claims.

What prompted the detailing of these experiments on the walls of the Birla temples? The reason, according to V K Mishra, administrator of the Birla temple in Delhi, was to make people aware of the vast alchemical knowledge possessed by ancient Indian rishis, who apparently knew the secret of converting mercury into gold.

In fact, there are plenty of references in ancient Indian texts to this kind of alchemy. Researchers say that if they indeed occurred, they’d be a type of low-energy nuclear reaction, popularly termed cold fusion. This is a field that has always been surrounded by controversy, as modern science has consistently refused to believe that cold fusion - essentially a nuclear reaction taking place at room temperature - is possible.

“On 27 May 1942 AD (Jyaistha Shukla 1 Samvat 1998) in Birla House, New Delhi Shri Pandit Krishnapal Sharma made approximately 1 tola of gold from 1 tola of mercury in front of us. The mercury was put inside a shell of reetha. In the mercury was mixed about 1 or 11/2 ratti of a white powder of some herb (jari-buti) and another yellow powder. Then the reetha shell was closed by clay and the whole thing put into the hollow of an earthen lamp and put on fire. For about 45 minutes, the fire was stoked by a fan till the coal got burnt completely to ashes. The lamp was then put into water to remove the contents. From the hollow of the earthen lamp a lump of gold was extracted. On weighing it was [...]
