Formula: Ω = ω/c²
The search for the Philosopher's Stone is the culmination (ω) of all knowledge divided by the square of life's constants (c²).
The quest for the philosopher's stone, an alchemical symbol of transformation and enlightenment, aligns with the relentless pursuit of truth in Plato's dialogues. In "Phaedrus" and "Alcibiades," Socrates leads his companions through rigorous self-examination, symbolizing the alchemical process of transmuting the soul into its purest form. The formula Ω = ω/c² can be interpreted as the ultimate wisdom (ω) achieved through the intense scrutiny of the self (c²). The division by c², where c could represent the challenges and complexities of human nature, emphasizes that enlightenment is not a simple acquisition but the result of a complex distillation of knowledge and virtue.
The invitation as artists and philosophers is to achieve the alchemical symbol... to transcend the barriers of the apparent world through our works.
