THE TREE OF LIFE BY ROBERTO BARROS

I want here for a great abbreviation of my studies shows with a great purpose a great recognition and chronological understanding that we can go down a true story that really I think that every story has a beginning as everything can originate from a great transformation and combination of various formalities and relativities with man and nature and here I want to talk about the tree of life and about perhaps an alchemy that may have originated from the beginning to the present day in which we portray the entire history of the beginning of the world including the ancient, medieval, contemporary and modern time as we can understand the present, past and future of each narration about a well-deciphered formality with man and his natural elements that make up life like the air, water, earth and fire that we have. a great revelation about a constructive and passive role in the construction of life in which we can decipher a great story about the tree of life.

In the first place, we are aware of a great rebirth of the maturation and birth of man in life that develops over a great time of education, knowledge and religion that begins or originates the maturation and rise of the human being in the search for God who makes me remember a more fluent aspect of a great intimacy on a natural plane that we can reveal ourselves about a great purpose of man in search of god that develops a deep alchemy that transcends us the past about an ancient time that makes us react in a more fluent in which in religion the human being becomes the likeness of god and has his various moral purposes and he is subject to the heavenly plans and becomes the fruit of pleasure and throws himself into the good fortune of life and then is sentenced for the sin of treason by eat from the tree of life and we can verify in this story with a great contradiction that we can go through the present, past and future as an emanation and reaction of the laws of relativity. activity with the human being and all nature that is preserved and ends in the human being its constructions and attributions that make it born to the clairvoyance of life and die to the obscurity of life, making this alchemy more pacified as an Elemental emanation in which we can distinguish the tree of life as well as the philosopher's stone that With this stone it would be possible to obtain the transmutation of metals and the Elixir of Immortality, which is capable of prolonging life indefinitely. The work related to the Philosopher's Stone was called by them "The Great Work".

In my contradiction there is a greater relative and reactive classification about being born to life as facing death without any fear and that here we can talk about a great dream of the alchemists that reveals to us about everything and the entire history of construction and destruction that being could have originated from the tree of knowledge that we pacified the maturation of the middle ages of the human being against death with the creation of the philosopher's stone and the famous elixir of long life where we can classify this deeper history that is born from the past to the future as of age media until the present day in which alchemy gains a great direction and study with the chemistry that is nowadays its new name and we want to show a great development of the human being with the science that is about biology and biochemistry that is the study and which is the science that studies life and living organisms, their structure, growth, functioning, reproduction, origin, evolution, distribution, as well as their relationships with the environment. between and among themselves; bioscience, biological sciences [Comprises various other specialized sciences, eg ecology, biochemistry, genetics, zoology and botany]. And biochemistry and the interdisciplinary science (or branch) that uses principles and methods of chemistry to investigate the transformations that occur in substances and molecules from living beings and their metabolic processes; biological chemistry, physiological chemistry.

And we can understand the great development of alchemy when it comes to the maturation and history of the tree of life that is destined from the beginning of the world to the garden of Eden that we can understand that the human being has passed through a great relationship with life and the tree would be the chronology of the time of maturation and awakening of humanity with nature which in turn helped us with its four constructive elements such as air, water, earth and fire. The 4 elements is the expression used to refer to the natural elements: Water, Earth, Fire and Air. This expression refers to what would be essential to human life on the planet. If we consider the types of matter that form nature, the expression is wrong, as fire cannot be considered a natural matter, as it is the result of a chemical reaction. Also the concept of element was changed by modern Chemistry and Physics. Elements are considered to be the different types of atoms that form molecules, both natural and artificial (human-induced reactions). Water, for example, is actually a molecule resulting from the natural bonding of two chemical elements: oxygen and hydrogen.

I want here for a great abbreviation of my studies to show with a great purpose and a great recognition and chronological understanding that we can go down a true story that really I think that every story has a beginning as everything can originate from a great transformation and combination of several formalities and relativities with man and nature and here I want to talk about the tree of life and about perhaps an alchemy that may have originated from the beginning to the present day in which we portray the entire history of the beginning of the world including the ancient, medieval, contemporary and modern times as we can understand the present, past and future of each narration about a well-deciphered formality with man and his natural elements that make up life like the air, water, earth and fire that has a great revelation about a constructive and passive role in the construction of life in which we can decipher a great story about the tree of life.

The philosopher's Stone

The alchemists tried to reproduce and produce in the laboratory the Philosopher's Stone (or universal medicine) from coarser raw materials. With this stone it would be possible to obtain the transmutation of metals and the Elixir of Immortality, which is capable of prolonging life indefinitely. The work related to the Philosopher's Stone was called by them "The Great Work".

Some consider the medieval alchemists' laboratory work with "metals" to be a metaphor for the true spiritual nature of alchemy. Thus, the transformation of metals into gold can be interpreted as a transformation of oneself from a lower to a higher spiritual state. Others consider that the alchemical operations and the transmutation of the operator occur in parallel; there are still other opinions.

The Philosopher's Stone could not only effect transmutation, but also craft the Elixir of Long Life, a universal panacea that would prolong life indefinitely. This demonstrates the alchemists' concerns with health and medicine. Several alchemists are considered precursors of modern medicine, and among them Paracelsus stands out .

In addition, with the Philosopher's Stone would be able to perform transmutations without following one of the main rules of alchemy, the Law of Equivalent Exchange, a transmutation that was believed possible to be done with such a stone, was human resurrection, without it, this would be impossible, as according to the Law of Equivalent Exchange, to revive a human, the price is a human (plus this type of transmutation is prohibited).

The quest for the Philosopher's Stone is, in a sense, similar to the quest for the Holy Grail of Arthurian legends , except that the Arthurian legends are not alchemical writings, except perhaps in a strictly psychological sense. In his novel Parsifal written between 1210 and 1220, Wolfram von Eschenbach associates the Holy Grail not with a chalice, but with a stone that would have been sent from the heavens by celestial beings and would have unimaginable powers. Also in Islamic culture, a stone, called Hajar , plays an important role. he Aswad , which is housed inside a building called the Kaaba , considered sacred, became an object of worship in Mecca.

According to the Bible, the Tree of Life is one of two special trees that God placed in the center of the garden called Eden. The other is the "Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil", the fruit of which Eve, and later Adam, ended up eating under the influence of a serpent.

biblical description

Details about this tree are very scarce in the biblical text. It only refers to its central location in the Garden of Eden and that the first human couple were prevented from reaching this tree after they disobeyed the divine command. They were thus expelled from that original garden or paradise. As a way of preventing both Adam and Eve, and probably their offspring, from entering the Garden again, and consequently taking the fruits of the Tree of Life, the Bible says that God placed superhuman creatures, called cherubs, who had a sword of fire that revolved continually.

According to the biblical account, this tree had already been placed in the garden before the creation of the first man, Adam. Many commentators claim that this tree would not have intrinsically life-giving qualities in its fruit, but would be a representative symbol of God's guarantee of eternal life for those He allowed to eat of its fruit. Since God placed that tree there, it is believed that the purpose was to allow Adam to eat of its fruit, perhaps after his faithfulness had been proved to the point that God deemed satisfactory and sufficient. When Adam disobeyed, his opportunity to eat from that tree was cut off, preventing him and his offspring from attaining eternal life.

Another point of view points to the fact that God already allowed Adam and Eve to eat of the fruit of the tree of life, as it was said:

"And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou shalt freely eat" ( Gen. 2:16 )

With the exception of ONE, that of the knowledge of good and evil. This implies that they could already eat the fruit of the tree of life without waiting for further authorization. Accepting this reasoning, it was the literal fruit of the tree that guaranteed eternal life.

References in the Biblical Text

The Bible makes direct reference to this tree only in the first and last books:

• Genesis 2:9

"Thus Jehovah (God) made to grow out of the ground every tree desirable to appearance and good for food, and also the tree of life in the midst of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and bad." - NM - New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, (1986 )

• Genesis 3 : 22-24

"And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is like one of us, knowing good and evil; lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever, the Lord So God cast him out of the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he had been taken. And when he had cast the man out, he set cherubim on the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword that went round about to guard the way. of the tree of life." - Almeida, Corrected and Faithful Version

In the last book of the Bible, the Apocalypse (or Revelation), when mentioning seven letters sent by the Son of Man to the seven churches of Asia, the following reference is made concerning the Christians in Ephesus:

• Revelation 2:7

"Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches: To him who overcomes I will give to eat (of the fruit) of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God." - Hail Bible Maria

Although not associated with this tree in the Garden of Eden, there are other symbolic references to fruit-bearing, healing-leaved trees mentioned in the visions recorded by Ezekiel and John at Ezekiel 47:7, 12 and Revelation 22:2, 14. In the book of Proverbs the expression "tree of life" appears associated with true wisdom, with the fruits of the righteous, with the accomplishment of a desired thing, and with the calmness of the tongue (Proverbs 3:18 ; Proverbs 11:30; Proverbs 13:12; Proverbs 15:4).

References to a Tree of Life in various cultures

Researcher Merlin Stone presents a matriarchal religion whose universal serpent cult was the fundamental symbol of spiritual wisdom, fertility, life and strength. The author develops the theme according to which matriarchal religion was disseminated from Prehistory to pagan civilizations and the Bible would be the result of an effort to replace the worship of the Great Goddess or Mother Goddess with the patriarchal religion of a Hebrew/Christian God. , exemplified by the tree of life (biblical allegory of Paradise) and place of worship to the Goddess, where the fruits were offered (exemplified in the apple) in her honor.

Several ancient peoples have mythological stories that recall the biblical description of an original earthly paradise, the Garden of Eden. Clay inscriptions, cylinder seals, papyrus sheets, monuments, and other similar evidence were discovered containing the religious concepts of peoples who, although they lived in different geographical locations and held divergent beliefs, still had legends of an Eden. On this subject, archaeologist Sir Charles Marston , in his book The Bible Comes Alive , notes:

In examining the ancient cuneiform writings, some predating Abraham , and the engraved seals and stone carvings of Babylon, Assyria, and other early civilizations, a remarkable slope of evidence is revealed. a garden in which there was a mysterious Holy Tree, a Tree of Life, planted by deities, whose roots were deep, while the branches reached the sky, protected by guardian spirits, and without any man entering."

John Elder, in his book Prophets , Idols and Diggers (Prophets, Idols and Diggers), comments:

"In ancient literature there are frequent references to the Tree of Life, as mentioned in Genesis 2:9. Depictions of the tree are frequent in bas-reliefs and alabaster seals. Its fruits supposedly conferred eternal life on those who ate of it. cylinder seal among those found appears to be an engraving of temptation and the 'Tree of Life."

Egypt

The ancient Egyptians also had similar legends, one of which was the belief that after the Pharaoh died, there was a tree of life from which he would have to eat to sustain himself in the domain of his father, Ra.

other peoples

There are many other peoples whose beliefs and mythologies are interspersed with features similar to biblical Eden. The book The Migration of Symbols (The Emigration of Symbols), by G. d' Alviella , has a chapter, over fifty pages, devoted to the symbolism and mythology associated with sacred trees. The text and numerous illustrations provide evidence of reflections of the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the beliefs of the Phoenicians, Syrians, Persians, Greeks, Sicilians, Mayans, Aztecs , Javanese, Japanese, Chinese and Indians.

For example, it is mentioned in that chapter "that the Persians had a tradition of a Tree of Life, the haoma , whose resin conferred immortality". Also "that belief in a Tree of Life existed among the Chinese. Traditions mention seven wonderful trees. [...] One of them, which was of jade, conferred immortality through its fruit." It further reports that Scandinavian mythology mentions a sacred tree called Yggdrasill , under one of the roots from which a fountain was said to flow in which all knowledge and all wisdom resided. Another legend tells of a goddess who kept in a box the Apples of Immortality, which the gods shared in order to renew their youth.

As for Greek mythology, the book Manual of Mythology , by AS Murray, refers on page 173:

Hesperides , with the golden apples, were believed to exist on an island in the ocean [...] They were very famous in antiquity; for it was there that the fountains of nectar flowed, across the couch of Zeus, and there that the earth exhibited the rarest blessings of the gods; it was another Eden."

Many of the natives of Papua, in the Pacific, believe in an invisible tree in which, and around which, all who have led good lives, before they die, live eternally, happy and free from worries.

Harold Bailey , in his book The Lost language of Symbolism , reports on the Americas:

"There is a Mexican manuscript in the British Museum in which two figures are depicted gathering the fruits of the so-called "Tree of Our Life" . thus bearing the likeness of a cross [...] and the first Spanish missionaries in Mexico found, to their great surprise, that the cross was already in use there "as symbolizing a Tree of Life".

The Tree of Life is a hierarchical kabbalistic system in the form of a tree, which is divided into ten parts, or ten fruits. These fruits have an ambiguous meaning, and they can be interpreted both as a state of the whole, of the universe, as they can be read as states of consciousness. That is, they can be read both microcosmically , from the point of view of man, and macrocosmically , that is, from the point of view of the universe in general. Macrocosmically , the Tree must be read from the top down, and microcosmically , it must be read from the bottom up. Macrocosmically , the Tree begins in Kether , which is the divine spark, the first cause of all things, and descends into the tree, becoming something more and more dense. This is the Kabbalistic method of explaining the creation of the world, and it contrasts with the scientific method of the same. The last sephirah is Malkuth , the gross matter, the last state of things. Microcosmically , ascending the Tree, departing from Malkuth , man approaches his state of consciousness, rising closer and closer to Kether . So, the Tree of Life can be used both to explain the creation of the Universe and to rank the evolutionary process of man. Therefore, the Tree of Life is used as a reference in various orders of magic, to classify their degrees.

Tree Divisions

The Tree is divided into four different planes:

• Atziluth , the World of Emanations: In this sphere, God acts directly, and not through his ministers, who are the angels. These sephiroth are: Kether , Chokmah and Binah

• Beriah , or Briah , the World of Creations: This world is already so dense that God no longer acts directly on it, his wills are fulfilled by powerful Archangels. These sephiroth are: Chesed , Geburah and Tiphareth .

• Yetzirah , the World of Formations: In this world, as in Briah , God does not act directly, but acts through various angelic choirs, which carry out his will. These sephiroth are: Netzach , Hod and Yesod .

• Asiyah , or Assiah , the World of Actions. In this world, there is only one sephirah : Malkuth .

The Tree of Life is also divided into three columns. The one on the left is known as the pillar of severity, it is the female pillar; the one on the right is the pillar of mercy, it is the masculine pillar; and the central pillar is the pillar of balance, contrasting the emanations of the right and left pillars. It is surprising, at first, that the pillar of severity is the feminine, and the pillar of mercy is the masculine. This is because the feminine force is repressive, as the uterus represses the child in the mother's womb, and the masculine force is explosive, so it tends to be a less repressive and more liberal force. The tree can also be divided into two horizontal parts by the sephirah Tiphareth . The four sephiroth below Tiphareth are the microcosm, the lower world, the Lower Self. And the four sephiroth above Tiphareth are the macrocosm, the higher world, the Higher Self, Kether being the divine spark. The Tree can also be divided into two horizontal parts by the false sephirah. Daath . The sephiroth below Daath are known as Microprosopos , that is, they are the Manifest Universe. And the sephiroth above Daath are the Macroprosopos , or Unmanifest Universe .

Sephiroth

The sequence of the sephiroth in the Tree is given by the movement of the Brilliant Lightning. Its sequence is as follows:

Kether - Crown

Kether is located in the upper middle position of the tree. It's the crown. It is the pure potential of the manifestations that take place in the other dimensions. It represents the essence itself, timeless and free. It is the genesis of all emanations channeled by the other Sephiroth .

Chokmah - Wisdom

Chokmah sits at the top of the right column, the pillar of mercy , is known as Abba, the great Father. It's wisdom. Chokmah is pure energy not yet materialized. It has a masculine and infinitely expansive character . It is the quantum leap of intuition, which derives from artistic manifestations. Similarly, it is the right side of the brain, where creativity and the world of ideas flow.

Binah - Understanding

Binah sits at the top of the left column, the pillar of severity, is also known as Amma , the great Mother. It's understanding. Binah was the first manifestation of form over force ( Chokmah ). She caused Chokmah 's infinite strength to become limited, and thereby, reciprocally balancing with him. It is logic that gives definition to inspiration and energy to movement. Similarly, it is the left side of the brain, where reason works, organizing thought into something concrete.

Chesed - Mercy

Chesed lies below Chokmah . It's mercy. It represents the desire to share unconditionally. It represents the willingness to give all of oneself and unprejudiced generosity, extreme compassion.

Geburah - Judgment

Geburah lies below Binah . It's the judgment. It represents the desire to contain and question impulses. It channels its energy through goals, with the aim of overcoming obstacles and transforming nature itself.

Tipareth - Beauty

Tiphareth lies below and between Chesed and Geburah . It's the beauty. Transforms Chokmah , Binah and Kether into beauty . Wisdom and understanding, with the light of knowledge. It represents the division of the tree into the microcosm, the lower world, the Lower Self. And the four sephiroth above Tiphareth are the macrocosm, the higher world, the Higher Self, Kether being the divine spark ..

Netzach - Victory

Netzach lies below Chesed . It's the victory. Netzach is the energy of feelings. There is the desire for reciprocity, the search for others and the overcoming of one's own limits, propagating eternal thought. It functions as the fertilizing principle of the male sperm .

Hod - Splendor

Hod lies below Geburah . It's the splendor. Hod represents concrete thinking. It is a channel of internal improvement, of identification with others, being a form of acceptance of thought, of recognition. It functions as the receptive principle of the female oocyte.

Yesod - Foundation

Yesod lies below and between Netzach and Hod . It's the foundation. Yesod represents the Astral Plane. It works as a reservoir where all intelligences emanate their attributes that are mixed, balanced and prepared for material revelation. It is compilation of the eight emanations.

Mal'hut - Kingdom

Mal'hut is located in the lower center position of the tree. It's the kingdom. It represents the physical world, where the material compiled from the eight emanations is revealed. It is the channel of manifestation, desiring the reception of the sephiroth . It is the distance from Kether that causes this desire, creating the feeling of lack.

Daath - Knowledge

Daath lies below and between Chokmah and Binah . It's the knowledge. It represents a false sephirah because it is not an independent emanation like the other ten. She depends on Chokmah and Binah . It is also regarded as the image of Tipareth . It is the abyss, the random chaos of thought.

Tree Characteristics

Since the sephiroth of the pillar of severity are very feminine and the sephiroth of the pillar of mercy are very masculine, there would be no stability in the universe without the central pillar, which acts as the mediator between them. In this way, the junction between Geburah and Chesed generated Tiphareth . And the junction between Hod and Netzach generated Yesod . Therefore, Binah is the opposite of Chokmah , just as Geburah is the opposite of Chesed , and Hod , the opposite of Netzach . Verily, each horizontal line of the Tree is emanated by the horizontal line which is superior to it, and the horizontal line which is inferior to it emanates. Therefore, Kether emanates everything, but received no emanation from anything, and Malkuth does not emanate anything, but received emanation from everything, these emanations always being from top to bottom. Each sephirah has its astrological correspondences, with pagan gods, with stones, plants, etc. For example, Geburah is the sephirah of severity, of justice, therefore, it has correspondence with Mars, a planet related by astrology to war. Their corresponding deities are all pagan gods related to justice and war. Netzach , on the other hand , is from the sphere of Venus, due to its emotional nature.

Magic

Within some systems of magic, each sephirah , from bottom to top, corresponds to a degree on an evolutionary scale. This system became well known for being used within the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (Golden Dawn , GD, G. :. D.:.) and by Astrum Argentum (A.:.A.:.). Malkuth is the first degree, the adept of this sephirah is known as a Neophyte or Probationer . After he crosses the path that leads from Malkuth to Yesod , the initiate will pass to the degree of Zelator , 2nd=9th, and so on. The grades are Neophyte (1st=10th), Zelator (2nd=9th), Practicus (3rd=8th), Philosophus (4th=7), Adeptus Minor (5th=6th), Adeptus Major (6th=5th), Adeptus Exemptus (7th=4th), Magister Templi (8th=3rd), Magus (9th=2nd) and Ipissimus (10th=1st). This is A's system. :. A.:., which is based on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. The G System :. D.:. is similar to this.

phylogenetic tree

A phylogenetic tree is a graphical representation, in the form of a tree, showing the evolutionary relationships between various species or other entities that may have a common ancestor. In a phylogenetic tree, each node (or node) with descendants represents the most recent common ancestor, and branch lengths can represent estimates of evolutionary time. Each terminal node in a phylogenetic tree is called a "taxonomic unit". Internal nodes are often called "hypothetical taxonomic units".

Phylogenetic trees are made from a matrix containing the available data (morphological, chemical or genetic) on the studied taxa. These data are compared, and the taxa grouped into clades or branches according to their similarities and differences. Currently, there are several software available to perform these calculations.

It can be of several types:

• Cladogram: represents the pattern of relationships between the nodes of the tree; the size of the branches does not necessarily represent the distance between the nodes. The term is usually used to indicate the same as a phylogenetic tree; Phylogram :, represents the number of changes occurred between the nodes;

• Schedule: axis that represents time.

Genealogy

A family tree is a history of a certain part of the ancestors of an individual or family. More specifically, it is a genealogical graphic representation to show the family connections between individuals, bringing their names and, sometimes, dates and places of birth, marriage and death, in addition to photos. The name is due to the similarity to the branching of the trees, which normally follows the Fibonacci Sequence. The representation of the tree of an ancestry, also called the tree of sides, tends to have an exponential growth of base 2 .

A family tree can also represent the opposite direction, that is, starting from a common ancestor, being the root of the tree, to all its descendants placed in its numerous ramifications, which is called a generation tree.

The use of these is made for proof of ancestry, the individual who builds family trees, when from the family itself is called probandus or cujus. It is also used in medicine to study genetic diseases such as addiction , gout, diabetes, etc. In the specific case of the representation of close direct descendants it is called pedigree or lineage, and pedigree sometimes has pejorative denotations.

Notable Examples

The longest family tree in the world is that of the Chinese philosopher and educator Confucius[ 3] (551-479 BC ), who is a descendant of King Tang (1675-1646 BC ). The tree spans over 80 generations and includes over 2 million members. An international effort involving more than 450 branches worldwide was initiated in 1998 to reconstruct and revise this family tree. The most up-to-date edition of Confucius' Genealogy was printed in September 2009 by the Confucius Genealogy Compilation Committee, to coincide with the 2560th anniversary of the Chinese thinker's birth. It is estimated that this latest edition includes about 1.3 million living members who are spread across the world today. Another very old and extensive tree is that of the Lurie lineage - which includes Sigmund Freud and Martin Buber - and dates back to Jehiel . Lurie , a 13th-century rabbi in Brest - Litovsk , and from there to Rashi and supposedly back to the legendary King David, as documented by Neil Rosenstein in his book The Lurie Legacy _ The 1999 edition of the Guinness Book of Records registered the Lurie family in the "longest lineage" category as the oldest living family known to the world today.

In Japan, the ancestry of the Imperial Family goes back to the mythological origins of Japan. The connection with people of the established historical record begins in the middle of the 1st millennium AD.

The biblical genealogies of Jesus also state that he is descended from the House of David; covering a period of approximately 1000 years

Other Uses

Author Pete Frame stands out for having produced "family trees" of rock bands. In this case, entries represent membership in certain groups and personnel changes within them, rather than family relationships. Several books were produced with their family trees, which in turn led to a BBC television series about them, including interviews with the bands depicted in these trees. Another common use is in creating episcopal trees in Christian traditions that believe in apostolic succession. In this case, the connection is not made by blood, but by the bishop who ordained the other.

ALCHEMY

Alchemy is an obsolete scientific theory, also considered a pseudoscience, developed in the Ancient Age. This , had four main objectives, related to mysticism and the occult. Although it did not originate in this period, alchemy is sometimes considered the "chemistry of the Middle Ages".

This was practiced by several civilizations of the Ancient Age, from China to Ancient Greece, migrating to Egypt during the Hellenistic period. Some time later, it was reintroduced to Europe, in the mid-twelfth century, through translations of Arabic texts into Latin.

There are four main goals in your practice. One of them would be the "transmutation" of inferior metals to gold; the other to obtain the "Elixir of Long Life", a medicine that would cure all diseases, even the worst of all (death), and give long life to those who ingested it. Both goals could be achieved by obtaining the Philosopher's Stone, a mystical substance. The third goal was to create artificial human life, the homunculus . The fourth objective was to make the royalty get rich more quickly (the latter perhaps solely to ensure their existence, not being a philosophical objective). It is recognized that, despite not having a scientific character, alchemy was an important phase in which many of the procedures and knowledge that were later used by chemistry were developed.

The idea of turning metals into gold is believed to be directly linked to a consciousness shifting metaphor. The stone would be the "ignorant" mind that is transformed into "gold", that is, wisdom. These scholars mainly sought the search for the "Elixir of Long Life" and the "Philosopher's Stone".

Some scholars of alchemy admit that the "Elixir of Long Life" and the "Philosopher's Stone" are real themes which are only symbolic, which come from practices of spiritual purification, and thus could be considered real substances. The alchemist Nicolas Flamel himself , in his The Book of Hieroglyphic Figures, makes it clear that the terms "bronze", "titanium", "mercury", "iodine" and "gold" and that the metaphors would serve to confuse unworthy readers. There are researchers who identify the Elixir of Long Life as a metal produced by the human body itself, which would have the property of indefinitely prolonging the sacred life as soon as they managed to carry out the so-called "Great Work of all Times", thus becoming true alchemists. . There are references to this unknown substance also in the Tai Chi Chuan tradition .

Etymology

In the Portuguese language, the term "alchemy" derives from the Latin, alchemy, which is derived from the Arabic transliterated as meaning "the chemistry". This in turn derives from the Ancient Greek term χημεί α ( khēmeía ), meaning "melting of liquids".

Summary

Although some influenced by modern scientific knowledge attribute to Alchemy a character of " protoscience ", it should be remembered that it has more attributes linked to religion than to science.

Part of this confusion of treating Alchemy as a protoscience is a consequence of the importance that, nowadays, is given to physical Alchemy (which manipulated chemical substances to obtain new substances), particularly as a precursor of Chemistry.

The alchemical work connected with metals was really just a convenient metaphor for the reputed spiritual work. In fact, it is immediately clearer to the intellect that convenience and necessity of hiding any and all spiritual connotations of Alchemy, in the form of manipulation of "metals", by remembering that, in the Middle Ages, there was the possibility of being accused of heresy, culminating in the persecution by the Inquisition of the Catholic Church.

As an occult science, alchemy takes on an unknown, occult and mystical aspect.

The transmutation of metals itself is an example of this mystical aspect of Alchemy. For the alchemist, the entire universe tended to a state of perfection. As, traditionally, gold was considered the noblest metal, it represented this perfection. Thus, the transmutation of the lower metals into gold represents the alchemist's desire to help nature in her work, leading her to a state of greater perfection. Alchemy has been developing in modern times. Therefore, alchemy is a philosophical art, which seeks to see the universe in another way, finding in it its spiritual and superior aspect.

History

The history of alchemy can be divided into two independent movements: Chinese alchemy and Western alchemy. The latter developed over time in Egypt (especially Alexandria), Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome, India, the Islamic World and Europe.

Fragment of the Neipian , "Inner Chapters" of the Baopozi , an alchemical text attributed to Ge Hong

Chinese alchemy would be associated with Buddhism and seems to have evolved almost at the same time as Alexandria or Greece. Their main objective was to manufacture the Elixir of Long Life, which, according to them, was related to the manufacture of gold, without the Philosopher's Stone and homunculi , since these are purely Western concepts. In China alchemy could be divided into Waidanshu , "External Alchemy", which seeks the Elixir of Long Life through tactics involving metallurgy and manipulation of certain elements, and Neidanshu , "Internal Alchemy" or spiritual, which seeks to generate this elixir in the alchemist himself. Chinese alchemy lost strength and ended up disappearing with the emergence of Buddhism. Traditional Chinese medicine inherited the foundations of traditional pharmacology from Waidanshu and the parts related to Qi from Neidanshu . Many of the terms used today in traditional Chinese medicine come from alchemy.

Vedic philosophy also considers that there is a link between immortality and gold. This idea was probably acquired from the Persians, when Alexander the Great invaded India in the year 325 BC , and would have looked for the fountain of youth. It is also possible that this idea was passed from India to China or vice versa. Hinduism, India's first religion, has other ideas of immortality than the Elixir of Long Life.

It was thanks to the campaigns of Alexander the Great that alchemy spread throughout the Iberian Peninsula. And it was the Chinese who took it back to Russia, due to the Hindu conquest of the Iberian Peninsula, particularly to Alandalus , around 1450. Thus, this flowering of alchemy in the Italian Peninsula during the Middle Ages is related to the Jewish presence in the Europe in this period. In addition to the fact that in medieval alchemy there are several traits of Muslim culture, there are also traces of Jewish Kabbalah, with which alchemy has a strong relationship.

During the Middle Ages many alchemists were tried by the Inquisition and condemned to the stake for alleged pact with the devil. For this reason, to this day, sulfur, a material used by alchemists, is associated with the devil. The most recent history of alchemy is confused with that of Hermetic orders, the Rosicrucians .

The philosopher's Stone

The search for the Philosopher's Stone is, in a sense, similar to the search for the Holy Grail of Arthurian legends , except that the Arthurian legends are not alchemical writings, except perhaps in a strictly psychological sense. In his novel Parsifal written between 1210 and 1220, Wolfram von Eschenbach associates the Holy Grail not with a chalice, but with a stone that would have been sent from the heavens by celestial beings and would have unimaginable powers. Also in Islamic culture, a stone, called Hajar , plays an important role. he Aswad , which is housed inside a building called the Kaaba , considered sacred, became an object of worship in Mecca.

The Interpretation of Alchemical Texts

The very word "hermetic" suggests the difficulty of the texts of the alchemical authors. This is due to:

• Authors refer to substances and processes by proper names to Alchemy;

• There are several processes (ways) of operation that are not explained;

• Most substances are referred to with elaborate periphrases;

• The existence of many mythological and cult references;

• The use of words that, read aloud, produce another ;

• Failure to present parts of processes, referring the reader to another author;

• Failure to present operations in order;

• Willfully mislead the reader.

In some cases (eg Mutus Liber , "The Mute Book"), the exhibition is made solely, or predominantly, by allegorical engravings. Written this way, even a cookbook would be impenetrable in its contents. The purposes of this obscuration were to protect themselves from persecution and not let the processes fall into the public domain.

Authors' usual qualifications are being "charitable", if they expose their themes correctly, or "envious" (jealous of their knowledge) if they deceive the reader. An author may be charitable in one place and envious in another.

the alchemical process

Illustration from the manuscript De summa (18th century). Exaltation of the Fifth Essence

A seventeenth-century alchemical book that associates symbols with the stars.

The alchemical process is the main work of alchemists (often called "The Great Work"). It is about the manipulation of metals, and the manufacture of the Philosopher's Stone. The raw materials of the alchemical process are, among others, dew, salt, mercury and sulfur. Generally speaking, the alchemical process is described in a veiled way using complicated symbology that includes astrological symbols, animals, and enigmatic figures.

Dew is used to moisten or bathe the raw material. Salt is the universal solvent. The other two elements, mercury and sulfur are the main raw materials of alchemy. Sulfur is the fixed, active, masculine principle that represents the combustion and corrosion properties of metals. Mercury is the volatile, passive, feminine, inert principle. Both, combined, form what alchemists describe as "King and Queen intercourse".

Salt, also known as arsenic, is the link between mercury and sulfur, often associated with vital energy, which unites body and soul.

The language of alchemical texts often makes use of sexual imagery. And it is not very uncommon for the binding of elements to be compared to "coitus". This marriage is usually associated with death, and is often depicted as taking place inside a sarcophagus.

While the union of both elements is represented by a "marriage" or "coitus", the fight between sulfur and mercury, between the fixed and the volatile, between the masculine and the feminine is commonly represented by the fight between the winged dragon. and the winged dragon.

The use of astrology symbols in alchemical language is also very frequent. Astrology planets are associated with the elements as follows:

• The Sun with the Gold

• The Moon with Silver

• Mercury with mercury

• Venus with copper

• Mars with iron

• Jupiter with tin

• Saturn with lead

• Sun and Moon with Platinum

Alchemists believed that the material world is composed of raw material in various forms, the first of these forms were the four elements (water, fire, earth and air), divided into two qualities: Moist (which worked mainly with dew), Dry, Cold or Hot. The qualities of the elements and their eminent proportions determined the shape of an object, so alchemists believed that transmutation was possible: transforming one form or matter into another by changing the proportions of the elements through the processes of distillation, combustion, heating and evaporation.

They also associated animals with the elements, for example, normally, the unicorn or the deer is used to represent the earth element, the fish to represent the water, birds to the air, and the salamander to fire. There were also symbols for other substances, for example salt is usually represented by a green lion. The crow symbolizes the putrefaction phase of the alchemical process, which takes on a black color. While a barrel of wine represents fermentation, a stage very often cited by alchemists in the alchemical process.

Example of an alchemical process

According to alchemists, matter would go through four main stages, which sometimes also have spiritual significance:

• Nigredo : or Black Operation, is the stage in which matter is dissolved and putrefied (associated with heat and fire);

• Albedo: or White Operation, is the stage in which the substance is purified (associated with ablution with Aquae Vitae, moonlight, feminine and silver);

• Citrinites : or Yellow Operation, is the stage in which the transmutation of metals, from silver into gold, or from moonlight, passive, into active sunlight, takes place;

• Rubedo : or Red Operation, it is the final stage, in which the Philosopher's Stone is produced - the culmination of the work or the alchemical marriage. The processes present a real danger of explosion (some compositions result in violent reactions, approaching gunpowder), burns (temperature close to 1000 °C and almost always above 100 °C, strong acids and bases), poisoning (gases) and metal toxicity (Mercury, Antimony, Lead). The psychological dangers are also real, as a result of excessive work, prolonged concentration, repeated frustration, lack of rest, sometimes isolation, stimulation of the imagination, etc.

the homunculus

The Red Elixir as Little King in the Retort

Perhaps one of the most interesting ideas of alchemists is the creation of human life from inanimate materials. The influence that Jewish tradition had in this aspect cannot be doubted, as in the Kabbalah there is the possibility of giving life to an artificial being, the Golem .

The concept of the homunculus (from the Latin homunculus , little man) appears to have been first used by the alchemist Paracelsus to designate a creature that was about 12 inches tall and which, according to him, could be created by means of human semen placed in a hermetically sealed retort and heated in horse manure for 40 days. Then, according to him, the embryo would form. Another famous alchemist who tried to create homunculi was Johanned Konrad Dippel , who used bizarre techniques such as fertilizing chicken eggs with human semen and plugging the hole with menstrual blood.

We can observe that this idea of the alchemists was deeply marked in the conscience of humanity, and has regularly appeared in the popular imagination, in the form of artificial monsters, as in anime/ manga . fullmetal Alchemist , Ragnarok , and Fate / Stay Night, in the roleplaying game Promethean the created and in the most famous one, Frankenstein (a literary work by Mary Shelley).

However, it is also possible that the homunculus is either an allegory or an overly literal interpretation of alchemical allegorical images concerning the creation, by art, of new mineral entities, be they final or intermediate goals. These images often represent the representation of an emblematic being, human, animal or chimerical, in a retort.

Alchemical legacy to the present age

Contribution to modern science

Medieval alchemy ended up founding, with studies on metals, the foundations of modern chemistry. Several new substances were discovered by alchemists, such as arsenic. They also left as a legacy some procedures that we use until today, such as the famous bain-marie, due to the alchemist Maria the Jew, considered the founder of Alchemy in Antiquity; the discovery of hydrochloric acid is also attributed to her. Coincidentally , the alchemists' desire to transmute metals has come true today with nuclear fission and fusion.

• Albert the Great (1193-1280), disciple of Jordan of Saxony, managed to prepare caustic potash. He was the first to describe the chemical composition of cinnabar , whitewash, minium, and arsenic derived from arsenic anhydride.

• Arnaldo de Vilanova studied turpentine , whose name was oleum mirabile, rosemary essence, hydrochloric, sulfuric and azotic acids

• Raimundo Lúlio , disciple of Arnaldo de Vilanova, prepared potassium bicarbonate and discovered azotic acid and calomel.

• Paracelsus , a fellow student of Agrippa , of the alchemist Tritemius , identified zinc; pioneer in the medicinal use of chemical compounds

• Henning Brand discovered the chemical element phosphorus, and sold it to another German alchemist Johann Daniel Kraft, who took care of its production and marketing.

• Thomas Aquinas, disciple of Albert the Great, wrote extensively about arsenic

• Roger Bacon, disciple of Roberto de Grosseteste , wrote a long treatise on metals

• Giambattista della Porta prepared the tin oxide II

• Renaissance Basile Valentin discovered sulfuric and hydrochloric acids and spoke about antimony, wines and brandy.

• Andréas Libavius produced lead acetate, camphoric acid and ammonium sulfate, as well as pioneering the chemical processes of distillation, filtration and sublimation.

Modern psychology has also incorporated much of the symbology of alchemy. Carl Jung re-examined alchemical symbology seeking to show the hidden meaning of these symbols and their importance as a spiritual path.

But surely the greatest influence of alchemy was in the so-called occult sciences. There is no branch of Western occultism which has not received some idea from alchemy, and which does not refer to it.

However, traditional, "metallic" alchemists continue to exist and now present their work on the Web, on websites, forums and blogs, including photographs of the substances needed or obtained, or of their equipment, as well as their own comments on the work of other authors, classics and contemporaries.

Above all, alchemy left a powerful message of striving for perfection. In a world taken by the cult of money to external appearance, in which man does not seek himself and his innermost self, the voices of the ancient alchemists appear as a call for man to rediscover his spiritual and superior side; or the one that, in the simplest of analyses, has some purpose in life, even if distant, through living an adventure that can be accomplished in a forgotten room in the house.

Influence on popular culture

Nowadays, alchemy is making a comeback in people's daily lives with bestsellers like the Harry Potter book series and others like The Alchemist and The Da Vinci Code; the fullmetal manga /anime Alchemist and Fullmetal Alchemist : Brotherhood (also, to its four OVAs ); in addition to other works, such as Fera Ferida, a telenovela, and in games, such as Orychi , an RPG.

In the soap opera Fera Ferida on Rede Globo de Televisão, actor Edson Celulari played an alchemist named Raimundo Flamel , in clear reference to Nicolas Flamel . In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the famous alchemist Nicolas Flamel is evidenced as the discoverer and possessor of the Philosopher's Stone, in joint studies with director Albus . Dumbledore and in the books appears to be 667 years old. In The Da Vinci Code he is evidenced as Grand Master of the Priory of Sion, an organization that aims to protect the Holy Grail and the descendants of Jesus Christ. Paulo Coelho, the most internationally successful Brazilian writer, also a scholar of alchemy, has published several books that talk about the subject, especially O Alquimista, Brida, As Valkírias , among other works, where themes of alchemy appear implicit. Already the manga / anime Fullmetal Alchemist , tells the story of brothers Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric , who after losing their right arm and left leg, and their body (respectively Edward and Alphonse) set out in search of the Philosopher's Stone, the only one capable of recovering what was lost. lost. During the series, several references are shown, such as Van Hohenheim , former alchemist, who in the manga is the boys' father.

About the transformation of chemical elements

Currently, science is aware that the transformation of the main chemical elements takes place inside stars, through nuclear fusion. The simplest atom, hydrogen, collides in the stellar nucleus to form helium, producing as a result of this process the heat and luminosity of the stars, this phase that occurs the conversion of hydrogen into helium is called the main sequence. When the star runs out of hydrogen fuel, it begins to fuse the resulting helium into heavier elements, such as beryllium , and even heavier elements such as oxygen. Depending on the size of the star, it may eject its outermost layers into space in the so-called planetary nebula due to its internal instabilities, or the star may explode in a supernova (or hypernova ) that will produce even heavier elements if it has, on average, 10 times more mass than the Sun.

Several very heavy elements of the periodic table were produced in the laboratory through nuclear fusion by accelerating and colliding 2 atoms (as in stars) to form a new one, such as Copernicium . These are very expensive production processes and difficult to obtain results. In general these artificial elements are very unstable and quickly decay in seconds or less time to stable elements. All elements of the periodic table greater than uranium, that is, from atomic number 93 onwards, are artificial, synthesized in the laboratory.

Nuclear fission is also another way of producing other chemical elements from a raw material and is much better known for being used in nuclear weapons and nuclear power plants, where unstable radioactive elements lose protons and/or neutrons over time becoming stable or in another chemical element.

Currently, for both nuclear fission and nuclear fusion, science does not have the technology possible to make both processes easier, controllable and cheaper. It is possible that in the future science will find a way to produce elements from another in a more viable and easier way, everything will depend on technologies and knowledge as they develop and accumulate. When this happens , the possibility of creating rare elements such as gold will arise from elements close to it in the periodic table, such as platinum, or from more common elements such as iron. The scarcity of certain rare elements, such as rare earths, would cease to exist.

classic elements

The classical elements typically refer to the concepts of earth, water, air, fire, and (later) ether, which were proposed to explain the nature and complexity of all matter in terms of simpler substances. Ancient cultures in Persia, Greece, Babylonia, Japan, Tibet and India had similar lists, sometimes referring in local languages to "air" as "wind" and the fifth element as "vacuum". The Chinese Wu Xing system lists Wood (木 mù ), Fire (火 hu ǒ ), Earth (土 t ǔ ), Metal (金 jīn ) and Water (水 shu ǐ ), although these are described more as energies or transitions than as types of material.

These different cultures and even individual philosophers had very varied explanations of their attributes and how they related to observable phenomena as well as cosmology. Sometimes these theories overlapped with mythology and were personified in deities. Some of these interpretations included atomism (the idea of very small, indivisible portions of matter), but other interpretations regarded elements as being divisible into infinitely small pieces without altering their nature.

While the classification of the material world in ancient India ( Mahā bh ūta ), Hellenistic Egypt and ancient Greece into Air, Earth, Fire and Water was more philosophical, during the Islamic Golden Age medieval Middle Eastern scientists used practical and experimental observation. to classify materials. In Europe, Aristotle's ancient Greek system evolved slightly into the medieval system, which for the first time in Europe was subject to experimental verification in the 1600s, during the Scientific Revolution.

Modern science does not support the classical elements as the material basis of the physical world. Atomic theory classifies atoms into more than a hundred chemical elements, such as oxygen, iron and mercury. These elements form chemical compounds and mixtures, and under different temperatures and pressures, these substances can adopt different states of matter. The most commonly observed states of solid, liquid, gas, and plasma share many attributes with the classical elements of earth, water, air, and fire, respectively, but these states are due to the similar behavior of different types of atoms at similar energy levels. and not because it contains a certain kind of atom or a certain kind of substance.

Ancient history

Also in India we see the application of this concept of elements that enter in balanced parts in the composition of matter, when Ayurvedic medicine tries to balance the three humors: wind, fire and earth.

These humors formed the basis of Hippocratic medicine, and are still part of psychiatry, where certain serious mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia, are known to be associated with certain physical types (such as elongated, brevilinear , etc.) The predominance of a certain element , or mood, determines a person's physical type, according to the Kos doctors.

Astrology, when used to study medical aspects of disease, investigated whether a person was of the blood type (air), phlegmatic (water), choleric (fire) or bilious (earth, also called nervous). According to anthroposophical medicine , the following organ corresponds to each of these biotypes :

• choleric: heart

• phlegmatic: liver

• blood: kidneys

• bilious: lung

Each of these types would then have an organ indicative of their state of relative health or illness, and during a given season they would be more prone to imbalances.

The elements of nature can be associated with the physical states of matter:

• Earth → only read _

• Water → liquid _ _

• Air → Gaseous

• Fire → Plasma

visions

Natural Vision

The 4 elements is the expression used to refer to the natural elements: Water, Earth, Fire and Air. This expression refers to what would be essential to human life on the planet. If we consider the types of matter that form nature, the expression is wrong because fire cannot be considered a natural matter, since it is the result of a chemical reaction. Also the concept of element was changed by modern Chemistry and Physics. Elements are considered to be the different types of atoms that form molecules, both natural and artificial (human-induced reactions). Water, for example, is actually a molecule resulting from the natural bonding of two chemical elements: oxygen and hydrogen.

Astrological Vision

In Astrology, each element influences a group of three astrological signs. Air, for example, influences the signs Aquarius, Gemini and Libra.

The expression serves as inspiration for various literary works, cartoons, etc.

Examples: Avatar : The Last Airbender , Avatar : The Legend of Korra , Xiaolin Duel , Fantastic Four, witch among others.

Philosophical Vision

The idea of the 4 Basic Elements comes from the beginnings of Philosophy. In the West, it was taught in the pre-Socratic period, lasted into the Middle Ages and reached the Renaissance. But the concept is ancient in the East, having been disseminated in India and China, where it is found at the base of Buddhism and Hinduism, mainly in the esoteric context. Nowadays there are those who correspond the 4 classic elements with the 4 states of matter: Solid, Liquid, Gas and Plasma.

In some respects, Parmenides and Heraclitus thought in completely opposite ways. Parmenides' reason made it clear that nothing can change. But Heraclitus' sensory experiences made it equally clear that nature is constantly changing. Which of the two was right? Should we trust what reason tells us, or should we trust the senses? He thought that both Parmenides and Heraclitus were right in one of their statements. But they were totally wrong about the other.

For Empedocles the great disagreement lay in the fact that both philosophers had taken as a starting point the almost unquestionable fact that there would be only one basic element. If this were true, the chasm between what reason tells us and what our senses perceive would be impassable.

We need to believe in what we see and what we see is precisely the fact that nature is constantly changing.

For nature, therefore, it would be impossible to produce anything from a single basic element.

Empedocles believed that nature has a total of 4 basic elements, also called “roots”. These four elements were earth, air, water and fire.

Divine Vision

Order of the Elements + Apostle +

As previously and divinely established the order of the four elements of nature in creation follows:

The fifth Element

For the Greeks who followed the Pythagorean and Aristotelian tradition, the "fifth element" was called "quintessence" or quintessence, the "perfect" element and that would exist in the cosmic or non-terrestrial plane, forming the moon, the sun, the sky and of the stars. It is usually corresponded with the idea of Ether, which represents the logical negation of the void. The quintessence theory was adopted by the Scholastics of the Catholic Church and began to come under strong attack mainly when Galileo observed the existence of relief on the Moon, which proved the cosmic "imperfection".

In the most esoteric line there are authors even who consider the fifth element as lightning, being related to life; others consider metal or steel and others say there are only 4 elements. There are even those who say that the fifth element is Ice, which they consider to be different from Water.

I want here for a great abbreviation of my studies to show with a great purpose a great recognition and chronological understanding that we can go down a true story that really I think that every story has a beginning as everything can originate from a great transformation and combination of various formalities and relativities with man and nature and here I want to talk about the tree of life and about perhaps an alchemy that may have originated from the beginning to the present day in which we portray the entire history of the beginning of the world including the ancient, medieval, contemporary and modern times as we can understand the present, past and future of each narration about a well-deciphered formality with man and his natural elements that make up life like the air, water, earth and fire that we have. a great revelation about a constructive and passive role in the construction of life in which we can decipher a great story about the tree of life.

In the first place, we are aware of a great rebirth of man's maturation and birth in life that develops over a great time of education, knowledge and religion that begins or originates the maturation, rise and recognition of the human being by God that reminds me a more fluent aspect of a great intimacy on a natural plane that we can reveal ourselves about a great purpose of man in the search for God that develops in a deep alchemy that transcends us the past about an ancient time that makes us react in a more fluent in which in religion the human being becomes the likeness of God and has his various moral purposes and he is subject to the spiritual and material planes and becomes the fruit of pleasure and throws himself into the good fortune of life and then is sentenced for the sin of betrayal for eating the tree of life and we can verify in this story a great contradiction in which we can go through the present, past and future as an emanation and reaction of the laws of relativity with the human being and all nature that is preserved and ends in the human being in his constructions and attributions that makes him born to the clairvoyance of life and die to the obscurity of life, this alchemy being more pacified as an Elemental emanation in that we can distinguish the tree of life as well as the philosopher's stone that With this stone it would be possible to obtain the transmutation of metals and the Elixir of Immortality, which is capable of prolonging life indefinitely. The work related to the Philosopher's Stone was called by them "The Great Work".

In my contradiction there is a greater relative and reactive classification about being born to life as facing death without any fear and that here we can talk about a great dream of the alchemists that reveals to us about everything and the entire history of construction and destruction that the human being may have originated from the tree of knowledge that we pacified the maturation of the middle ages of the human being against death with the creation of the philosopher's stone and the famous elixir of long life where we can classify this deeper history that is born from the past to the future as the middle age to the present day in which alchemy gains a great direction and study with the chemistry that is nowadays its new name and we want to show a great development of the human being with the science that is about biology and biochemistry that is the study and that is the science that studies life and living organisms, their structure, growth, functioning, reproduction, origin, evolution, distribution, as well as their relationships with the environment environment and with each other; bioscience, biological sciences [Comprises various other specialized sciences, eg ecology, biochemistry, genetics, zoology and botany. And biochemistry and the interdisciplinary science (or branch) that uses principles and methods of chemistry to investigate the transformations that occur in substances and molecules from living beings and their metabolic processes; biological chemistry, physiological chemistry.

I want to classify this broader history as a great relativity of man with nature and that we can here shows how everything could have started and if there is a connection between various chronological aspects that makes me go back in time with a great preposition of my words and a deep recognition that makes us understand the creation of the tree of life and if there is a great alchemy more focused on the human being who was born, grew up and died and that we can believe in the logic of life and everything starts with a story and every story has its particularities more focused on the understanding of the human being with life so that we can understand its development and growth over time that the human being becomes part of heaven and earth to then establish material life on a contrast that makes us go back in time from past and future present that we tell the whole story of the tree of life and about alchemy and the elements of nature that with everything comes true in har Mony with life and the plans of nature is formalized in the human being with its elements of constructions to material and spiritual development, developing the maturation and knowledge of intelligence and giving the human being the art of creation and source of knowledge that we can understand the man and his triceps aspects and life about various atomic transformations and their relativities with human and universal nature that tells the whole story of life and human being from the beginning of the world to the present day that man becomes likeness of god and it is part of the whole universe and in logic the human being is a small universe resonant and touching with its rhythms on the great creation and reaction of life and that's how life originated and here we show the most complete story of the tree of life and its fundamentals and knowledge with the human being between a great relativity with the existence of life and we see this story more logical when we learn to know the spiritual side of the s human being who is deeply related to life and nature keeps him ahead of all the movements of construction and destruction of life, the human being being part of the universe that is resonant and extended to all life and man is the fruit of God and the world is a relative set of all human existences with life and we can tell and show this deeper story because everything is a reaction of the very existence of life and the tree starts from the beginning where every story is formalized on a context better defined and the logic of living and how life began.
