the alkahest is one of the big things of alchemy
but think a bit...
if some alchemist say: "one matter, one flask & one fire" obviously with this path nobody need the alkahest...
the big problem with "alchemist" is their programed thinking "paths". in family, in school, in society, in your adn, in your s_ex, in your social role, religion... all this s h i t are destroying your creativity & mental free will, conveting you in a f_ucking robot useless for evolution.
perhaps if you learn (basic concepts) computer programing you can free and optimize your tinking methods... but the most important thing is to destroy all your evil mental programming. (recomended basic & C).

The paradigm of science is that creation is all, and the creator is nothing. Religion says the creator is all, and the creation is nothing. These two extremes are the bars of a prison cell. They prevent observation of all phenomenon as an interactive whole.
On Earth, you have been convinced that the oceans of the mind and spirit are filled with gruesome, ghoulish monsters that will eat you alive if you dare to venture beyond the breakwater of superstition.
many are seduced by opinions, and many are deceived by faith that is without knowledge.
I know nothing, and I know everything.
good luck my captain.
