It's insinuated that Scarlett "became" the stone or gained its powers when she heals George, but do you think this is a permanent thing? And if so is it a huge stride to jump to the assumption that she is now immortal?
shareThe PHYSICAL immortality concept is a complete, and perhaps deliberate, misinterpretation of Alchemy.
The aim of Alchemy is to access into spiritual immortality. The aim was to tap into the ONE, The NOTHING, the ALL or the NOUS. A person who can do that is released from their physical viewpoint and realizes "As Above, So Below". In that altered space, Scarlett broke through and became enlightened. She was able to channel that power to heal George.
However, her physical body will still age and die. To the person who has reached the philosopher's stone state, death is not an impediment to them. They are already in touch with the one. In alchemy pictures this is shown as an alchemist at the edge of the earth, with his head in the one outside physical reality and his body still on earth.
Anyone can reach the one and anyone can be an alchemist.
However, the elite have debauched this idea and kept it hidden.
Instead they push wrong ideas such as PHYSICAL immortality and the concept of royalty as the sole embodiment of the Stone which allows only them to rule by divine right.
The gnostics would say that the elites want to stay in the physical realm, in the world of the Demiurge (devil)because it gives them power. They don't want to merge with the one. They don't want to die because whatever is out there, well it is filled with powerful alien intelligences in which they are weaker in comparison. Much better to stay on earth and be semi-gods and keep us as their chattel.
Great post!

shareHey, you're welcome!
I read a book on Alchemy a while ago, and it was extremely fascinating. Most people believe Alchemy is just some bizarre culmination of materialistic thinking, when in fact there's this very imortant branch of inner Alchemy, which is the process of refining and purifying your soul, creating your inner gold so to speak. Which is why C.G. Jung was very interested in Alchemy.
