In wisdom's realm, where calcite's secret lies,
A philosopher named Kibrick cries,
"Fair Lakshmana, thou tak'st credit untrue,
For mine own toil, the truths I did construe."
With furrowed brows and intellect ablaze,
Kibrick argues for his rightful praise,
"Through nights of contemplation, I did glean,
The nature of calcite, once unseen."
"But hark," quoth Lakshmana, resolute,
"I too did delve, in calcite's pursuit,
My trials and insights, none can deny,
To claim a share, 'tis fair and right to try."
The scholars spar, their words like daggers keen,
In halls of learning, honor's fight is seen,
As calcite's tale unfolds through debate's art,
A battle fierce for knowledge's true heart.
*Human brilliance was channeled through a language model during the making of this poem done in the style of Shakespeare.*
AI poetry?
That was awesome Elixirmixer.
I sensed you were just bringing levity and not mocking.
And Kibric, I know what it feels like to want to "possess" the truth and feel like you are being discredited for your find and your knowledge. But if you look around wide enough, some of these wise men have found the truth you also found... independently.
Ghettoalchemist posted about it independently when he shared a past life vision he had. And then he was blown away someone (you, Kibric) was so openly sharing.
Elixirmixer has been on it for a while now.
Lakshmana is on another page, with definite commonalities.
The ancients left many riddles and puzzles to solve that lead to the matter you are wanting to make your own.
I, myself, after years and years of thinking I was closing in on the matter, finally found it, had many tears of joy
and relief and thanks to God, then I thought I would check the forums to see if there was anyone discussing it
and I found you, Kibric, Ghetto's and Elixirmixer's posts about it. I, too, was blown away and edified in my own finding.
You see? Many of the paths lead to the matter you so generously shared. And I am very grateful you DID share.
It's not yours. It's God's. It's nature's. It's all of ours.
If you hold on too tight, it'll burn you, as it seems to be doing.
When I want to possess truth and secrets and knowledge, it leaves a dark residue in my energy field - Luciferan and / or Ahrimanic parasitic invitations here.
Thinking brotherly love helps a lot.
Andro: Naming various calcium compounds as an alchemical starting matter may be a bit of a mindfuck from the alchemical authors, IMO.
and then there's that. lol...
