The Philosopher's Stone: Alchemy and the Secret Research for Exotic Matter [Paperback]

If you thought this book might simply be the outtakes of Dr. Farrell's previous research--with perhaps some tying up of loose ends and some elaborations here and there, you would only be partially correct. The book is that, but it is also much more than that, and there are some
really nice payoffs in the end.

Besides making the case that ancient alchemy masks a sophisticated science which closely resembles the hyper-dimensional physics Dr. Farrell talks about here and elsewhere, Dr. Farrell introduces some new players to his hyper-dimensional lineup. Of these new characters, two are particularly interesting: Nikolai Kozyrev and Burkhardt Heim.

Kozyrev and his work on the [hyper-dimensional] physics of time is introduced in one of the most exciting sections of the book. Here Kozyrev re-introduces the concept of non-scalar time into modern physics with a series of breathtaking experiments which demonstrates that time has structure and that structure is an active participant in the universe. That is, it has both direction and energy. One can readily see in the torsion of Kozeyrev's 'time', the great cosmic whirlpool and the cosmic mill of the ancients.

Towards the end of the book, we are treated to the theories of Burkhardt Heim whose ideas about the lattice structure of space-time are very consistent with Kozyrev's work. As Farrell points out--unlike some modern hyper-dimensional theories--the theories of Heim and Kosyrev are both testable and engineerable.

Finally, an important connection is revealed between the Philosopher's Stone and the Grail.

Some theological yeast is also thrown into the mix; and of course, Farrell's tremendous writing ability and contagious enthusiasm for each new discovery is also in evidence.

Okay, I realize that by now I sound like some gushing little fanboy where Farrell's work is concerned. The trouble is, there is so little work of this caliber, it is difficult not to gush. I promise I will try to be moderate.

In yet another of his seemingly endless stream of interesting and exciting books about "hidden history," Farrell has once more created a fascinating piece of research which draws one in like a "page turner" mystery.

This book approaches hidden technology in history from the viewpoint of the nature of Alchemy. There are three major sections - one devoted to "American Gold," one to "Russian Mercury," and one to our old friend, German Xerum 525.

The American Gold mentioned is David Hudson's (re)discovery of monatomic gold and "ORMEs" - Orbitally Rearranged Monatomic Elements. This form of gold, and other platinum group metals as well, exhibits characteristics far different than we are used to seeing in mainstream chemistry, some quite bizarre and other-worldly. In fact, the substances have been included in the term "exotic matter" for their astonishing traits.

The section on Russian Mercury is about the infamous "Red Mercury" which caused such a stir in the 80s. While some consider it pure fiction, Farrell clearly shows that there is something quite substantial to the story, and interestingly enough, it leads to our "exotic matter" friend from Nazi Bell research, Xerum 525, which the third section of the book explores in a few more aspects than he has covered before.

Along the way, Farrell introduces us to the usual wide array of research and forgotten (suppressed?) science, such as the exciting torsion physics ("causal mechanics" in Kozyrev's terms) work of Dr. Nikolai Kozyrev, which was classified in the U.S.S.R. for a long time. Kozyrev's work has incredible importance. The work of Burkhard Heim is also explored, and like Kozyrev, is extremely interesting and paradigm changing. The book is worth it for this information alone.

Farrell has an ability to piece together this kind of information in a way that is simply irresistible. The weaving of obscure physics, history, metaphysical studies, politics, etc., is amazing and deeply informative. I find his methods rigorous, honest, and insightful, and his writing engaging and thought provoking.

This was one of those books I could barely stand to put down - its ideas haunted my thoughts, pulling me back to the book over and over again. I put all my other reading on hold and even took extra time off from work to finish it as quickly as I could. This is the kind of book one wants to think about and let simmer in one's mind, considering the possibilities and implications of the information. I would love to take a several month retreat (in Barbados or Fiji, please) to immerse myself in his work and give the deeply profound implications of these things time to really take a strong hold in my thoughts. Sigh.......

I do not hesitate to recommend this book if you are interested in radical physics, hidden/suppressed history, or just like to think. This book presents a few more pieces in the puzzle of our world, and is very welcome. As always, I recommend all of Farrell's books without hesitation.

In our hi-tech world of Blackberries and cell phones that are more powerful than the desktop computers of ten years ago, hi performance cars that can GPS us to a Starbucks 1000 miles away, one just might be inclined to be thankful for the Einstein physics program taught at the state university.

Dr. Farrell's The Philosopers' Stone just might have you rethinking that. He will take you on a mental journey that will take you from a pile of stones we know as Giza pyramid, to NASA's space program by a little-known physics theory we "inherited" after WW2 thanks to Nazi Germany's secret weapons projects.

This book, like all of Dr. Farrell's books, is written with the novice and the scholar in mind and is well footnoted. Set out on this tributary of thought and flow to an ocean of knowledge that just might have you looking at the world a little differently, perhaps more accurately.

Having read his other books, the Giza trilogy, the Nazi series, The Cosmic War, and Secrets of the Unified Field, this book will step you onto the path that leads to a mental ballet of thought that brings you to an astonishing conclusion.

Read this book and you will never look at the world the same. The " journey to the center of your mind" is a path that starts in ancient history progresses to the moon and beyond with a surprising stop off in Nazi Germany, and the real proof is that the flashing X on your GPS screen tells you your latte is 5 seconds ahead and you didn't even get lost so far from home.

Dr. Farrell has a unique presentation of material that flows across many disciplines to help to eliminate the modern tendency to segment our thoughts, and help harmonize one's thinking towards a symphony of knowledge that cultivates independence of thought. Dare to step onto the path, and explore a really whole new universe, one that makes sense.
