ABSTRACT
Thus Dorn describes the secret of the second stage of conjunction. To the modern mind such contrivances of thought will seem like nebulous products of a dreaming fancy. So, in a sense, they are, and for this reason they lend themselves to decipherment by the method of complex psychology.

One naturally asks oneself how this alchemical procedure enters into it at all. The unio 82 "Quis haerebit adhuc nisi lapis in generatione spagirica?" That is to say, the centre of the earth and the stone correspond. ©3 pp. 466ff.
