''The Path of the Sun'' is my imaginary video-game about a transformative journey through oneself, to the higher levels of being. It's based on alchemical teachings about Transmutation, i.e. the 7 alchemical processes of metal purification until it's transformed to the most perfect, ultimate matter - the Philosopher's Stone, and also on the Jungian concept of Shadow-self. These 7 alchemical stages of purification and perfection are also equivalents of the 7 spiritual stages one should undergo on a journey through perfection, to the highest states of existence.
The game's supposed to have a psychedelic-like effect on the player (hence the graphics), and inspire him/her to start his/her own transformative journey.

This animation, along with the other two, one of which already is uploaded (Calcination), and the third I'll soon upload (Coagulation), is one of the main subjects of my thesis at Information Technology School (Computer Multimedia). The half of Dissolution consists of dialogues, but it's worth a watch.
Alchemical Dissolution is the second stage of Transmutation, which consists of the following (from https://www.alchemylab.com/):
''Chemically, it is the dissolving the ashes from Calcination in water. In the Arcanum Experiment, Dissolution is represented by iron oxide or rust, which illustrated the potentially corrosive powers of Water on even the hardest of metals. When processed, Vitriol breaks down into sulfuric acid and iron oxide, which are the first two arcana or secret ingredients. The Egyptians smelted Iron as far back as 1500 BCE and used iron compounds in tonics and as disinfectants.
Psychologically, this represents a further breaking down of the artificial structures of the psyche by total immersion in the unconscious, non-rational, feminine or rejected part of our minds. It is, for the most part, an unconscious process in which our conscious minds let go of control to allow the surfacing of buried material. It is opening the floodgates and generating new energy from the waters held back. Dissolution can be experienced as “flow,” the bliss of being well-used and actively engaged in creative acts without traditional prejudices, personal hang-ups, or established hierarchy getting in the way.
(...)
On the Planetary level, Dissolution is the Great Flood, the cleansing of the earth of all that is inferior.''
