The Philosopher's Stone: Seeds of a Conscious Harvest is a collection of quotes and phrases each individually the summation of volumes of writings as they are comprehended and by way of scrutinizing volumes of knowledge, they are the drawn conclusions, lessons, and even evaluations and questions that were revealed to the author by peering into his own personal experience and into the experiences of others throughout his life. It is the author's wish that the reader would ponder over these nuggets of gold using them as a looking glass through which the past is measured and the future starting with the works of now are laid out. These writings are like drops of water drawn from the depths of the sea where the minerals are rich. It is the hope that by their ingestion the depths of wisdom are revealed unto the reader leading each one to a baptism of new life. When a tree gives birth to fruit before that fruit is ripe and the beautiful coat of its hue is revealed unto the world that fruit remains green like the leaves of that tree. The reason that is, is because until the fruit is ripe the seeds that lie in its care are vulnerable. The shells are soft and the embryo and force of life that lay within the shells of those seeds must be protected at the highest cost because this alone is the source of life and the power of God. The tree keeps its fruit camouflaged from predators flying overhead and running about upon the ground until the seed of its fruit is strengthened. Seeds unlike the rest of the fruit and even unto the tree itself does not break down by the process of digestion.

Life comes forth by the death of the seed and by no other way. Even if the fruit is wasted, falls to the ground, rots, and wasted away, new life lies untarnished within the seeds. Words are no different, and these quotes and phrases have within them the whole force of God and all of the wisdom upon the earth awaiting to sprout up and produce good fruit in anyone willing to put these words through the full process of death which is itself the coming forth of day. The only way to put these words to death so that they reveal the life and light within them and raise one to a higher rung on the ladder, exposing to him the way of knowledge is by living them out fully until they become a part of such a one's mental fabric.
