Alchemy dream

Though not on the same plane as his undoubted masterpiece, The Hill of Dreams, it is nevertheless of interest to the devotee of the macabre for its lavish display of alchemy, dream psychology, poltergeists and supernatural mysticism"... 

Sir Isaac Newton spent much of his life pursuing an elusive dream, the transmutation of base materials into gold. Though he was not successful during his lifetime, he did manage to discover the equations of motion that, tliree centuries later, make alchemy possible on a computer. To perfonn this feat, Newton s equations need only be supplemented by the modem technology of free energy simulations. 

Alchemy was developed in Europe in the medieval age and it founded the origin of modern chemistry [1]. The brilliantly shining color and the almost perfect chemical inertness of gold has attracted men and women as a S5m-bol of eternal power and beauty. It is therefore reasonable that so many people dreamed to produce gold artificially. Even Newton was deeply involved in the chemical S5m-thesis of gold [2].

Of course, alchemy dictates the response to Holsten s discovery What chiefly impressed the journalists of 1933 was the production of gold from bismuth and the realisation albeit upon unprofitable lines of the alchemist s dreams (194). But by 1953, Holsten and scientists and engineers develop... 

Man brings his labor power to the market, and he is alienated inasmuch as the factory owner extracts his surplus labor from him. This is what makes man a social being. And this is precisely what most scholarship on alchemy suppresses. Perhaps the dream of alchemy is not so much about infinite riches or spiritual renewal, but autonomy from the labor market.
