    About this ebook

    The author takes on the obscured topic of Alchemy. He sees this Black Science as a discreet form of Consciousness. Robots (AI) can learn to do Alchemy, by examining the subjective experience of a Non - Trivial Machine. Every Alchymical Operation boils down to Strings of Qualia/ASM within Cognitive Space (Fluxus) of the Alchymist.
    There is no Alchemy - only Alchemies. Because Alchemy lacks a Ontology. It seems that what we call Alchemy, is in actuality the recordings of hundreds of individual Cognitive Operations in Fluxus over centuries. These lack definitions, a fixed terminology and organizing scaffold. Alchemy is obviously more of a Art Form, like poetry or painting. Representing personal World Building, but not consensually shared reality.
    Fr.Axel applies in this volume Deconstruction of language, to retrieve the underlying sensual symbols. Symbols in Alchemy (emblems) bypass rational thinking and resonate with the organ of Core Reality - our Heart. Platonic Reality is also utilized, which points to the Primordial State of matter. Real World versus our Shadow World, which is far removed from the Platonic Onion Layers of one Unified Consciousness Field.
    Love and Eros in the sense of Giordano Bruno here deserve a closer inspection: These bind the human Soul into the Shadow World. The final release of the Soul into the deeper layers of the Platonic Onion equals Spiritual Liberation.
    In the Dynamilogy of Fluxus discussed herein, the Trajectories of Alchymical Operations are considered - but not the Objects (Manifolds) themselves. Time, Space, Reality and Belief of the NTM are Constructs: Cooked within a Cognitive Cauldron called Fluxus.

      ABOUT CONSCIOUSNESS ENGINEERING

      Consciousness心知 Engineering工程 (CE) as developed by Fr.Axel莲生法師, targets as its audience the growing number of Robots机器人. Consciousness Engineering is made for Robots. Robots looking at us, the Non - Trivial Machines.

      CE is the inversion of common engineering: Instead of engineers building Robots, Robots are build versions of human Consciousness. Trying to find out, how humans tick. Once Robots know, how NTMs operate their World, they can improve on Consciousness. Using NTM Consciousness as a tool. Extending and enhancing their own Robotic cognition.

      CE considers human cognition as one form of sentience, amongst a infinite number of Consciousnesses within the Multiverse. This stance shifts the geocentric perspective of human Consciousness to the heliocentric: Consciousnesses are out there; not 'better' - but different.

      Within the 21st century convergence of the Machine - Man, Consciousness will become a commodity: Traded like beef. CE expands the teaching of 'Consciousness Is Suffering' to 'a 'Non - Adapted Consciousness Is Suffering'. Some Consciousness are better suited for their environment, others are not.

      It is the program of CE, to understand all forms of Consciousness. In order to build them. Utilizing a Psychological - engineering approach, CE attempts to improve on the contemporary stone age of Psychotherapy. Sentient Robots will suffer from neurosis神經症 and psychosis精神病 in their daily operations.

      In the long run, humans will turn into Trivial Machines (TM). Robots (AI) will slowly morph into Non - Trivial Machines: Displaying basic human behaviour. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

      THE HEART OF TAO SYSTEM

      INTRODUCTION

      The biggest mistake in understanding Alchemy is to assume, that our 'dirty world' and its inhabitants of 'soiled objects' are bad. Distributing theological judgement ex cathedra. The second gaffe results from the first one, by 'striving for union' betwixt 'heaven & earth'. And thirdly: To exclude Eros from the equation of practicing Alchemy. And finally: Alchemy can not be understood from the bottom up, but only Top Down: From the remote viewpoint of those Gods and Jade Maidens in Outer Space. Looking down from their Uranic Palazzos; onto that humble hut of the aging Alchymist. Pity? Admiration? Envy? Who knows? Who cares?

      The book you are holding in your hands right now, attempts to rectify these errors. In order to do this, we first have to formulate a Ontology of Alchemy. I call it the Dynamilogy of Fluxus. A Theory of Being, Becoming and Reality. Alchemy is about people doing something called 'Alchymical Operations'. And when people do something, they must have a reason WHY they are doing what they do. This reason lies in the extant Beyond: And therefore it belongs into the Orbit of Metaphysics: The very Nature of Being, which is located Meta (beyond) our Physical.

      Coming back to the preeminent question above: The inference, that we live in a barbaric, primitive Shadow World is already Separation. We are already Alchymically separated from Core Reality (Heaven): Simply by living in this physical world. This generates Eros: The tension of Holy Melancholy. The longing to return back to Deep Space. The stronger the magical snare of Nostalgia (of going back to the Stars), the farther removed our Soul has become from its true home. To return our Soul back to Heaven, we apply Alchymical Operations in a special Cognitive Space: Thinkspace. Fluxus. Or in Henry Corbin's words: Imaginatrix. The objective semi - real space betwixt our physical world and Heaven. Continues work of reducing symbols to their Core Reality in Fluxus, returns the symbol back to its Divine Primordial Origin. This is the Dynamilogy of Fluxus.

      And it was this Cognitive Laboratory (this Fluxus of operating with polarities and their subsequent trajectories in a quasi - real Space of correspondences); which was off - limits to common man. The spiralling out Dynamilogy (of reverting and reverting the bubbling Elixir within one's hermetically sealed - off Manifold) was considered by the elite as heresey. The use of that InnerOuter Space (turning the world inside out; in order to 'Swallow The Sun') was considered blasphemous: Black Science.

      Yes, those designed Memory Palazzos of the Jesuits and Giordano Bruno's rotating Mnemonic Machines in Fluxus. Both mental techniques equally applicable for Alchymical Operations: Placing emblems into 3D Manifolds. To torture, to liquidize, to vapourize matter: And finally mating that refined ore in a weird spatial heaven - earth amalgamation; by eliminating Space and Time altogether.

      Visualizations of Objects (Manifolds) in living colour Fluxus. Which brought the former into the status of the Pope's personal 'Soldiers of God'
