 What means the epitaph "I seek the gold of time" that André Breton had engraved on his tombstone? What are the relations between alchemy, esotericism and time? In this 40-minutes presentation, Léon Gineste tries to unveil what is Alchemy: its origins, its first manuscripts (-200 BC in Alexandria); its great historical figures, and its relation with mystic and current neurosciences.
From Nicolas Flamel's life (1360), his dreams, his trips and the love that united him to Perenelle (would exaltation of matter come from love of opposite polarities?), Léon Gineste takes us to enter this closed world that is Alchemy and reminds us the principle: "gained wealth is never used to personal use".
A 40-minutes presentation organized by les Editions Fortuna, to recommend to those who think that our world is, according to the author, too "neo" Cartesian.
