'First Quest edition 2009.
1 The story of alchemy and chaos theory. 2 As above, so below. 3 Feedback. 4 Take apart, put together. 5 Chaos and emergence. 6 The philosopher's stone
'Author Robin Robertson finds parallel models in ancient alchemy, which tried to change base metal into gold, and modern chaos theory, which posits that tiny initial changes can have huge and unexpected outcomes--as a butterfly in Brazil might cause a tornado in Texas. Robinson lucidly shows how these two systems reveal the pattern of inner development in any spiritual tradition. No matter what one's particular calling, these surprising insights can enrich and accelerate the transformative stages of any spiritual seeker.
