"Alchemy actually takes up and carries on the work of Christianity. In the alchemical view, Christianity has saved man but not nature. The alchemist’s dream was to save the world in its totality: the philosophers’ stone was conceived as the filius macrocosmi, which saves the world, whereas Christ was the filius microcosmi, the savior of man alone. The ultimate aim of the alchemical opus is the apokatastasis, cosmic salvation." Goal/gold
