True . It must be from an alchemist like imthat pointed out . And indeed it is a great feeling.
My point was that there is always gap in understanding between alchemist and normal materialist people . And it was from that perspective that normal materialist people too can understand what is being conveyed .

Indeed matter is an illusion of mind . Objective reality is never separate from consciousness. For the purpose of understanding spirit can be high energy-subject and matter can be low energy - object.

At one level material and spiritual reality is same. Everything is manifestation of consciousness.

Unpredictability comes when number of influencing factors , its composition and its intensities are unknown . Even if u know all these , there is no wasy for one to keep track off all these ever-changing stuff . It's a rider to humanity how to ride this unpredictability and uncertainty .
