Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

I liked his point that many alchemists were not taken seriously during their time, but eventually their points became evident. Many of their arguments led to scientific research and other discoveries.

If I had to pick one, I'd say I was most drawn to the book's exploration of the psychological dimensions of alchemy, especially its connection to Jung's theory of individuation. The way the book illuminated how alchemical symbols can be interpreted as representing stages of psychological development and major life transitions
