''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 (Calcination & Dissolution), is one of the main subjects of my thesis at Information Technology School (Computer Multimedia).
Alchemical Coagulation is the seventh, final stage of Transmutation, which consists of the following (from https://www.alchemylab.com/):
"Chemically, Coagulation is the precipitation or sublimation of the purified Ferment from Distillation. In the Arcanum Experiment, Coagulation is represented by a compound called Red Pulvis Solaris, which is a reddish-orange powder of pure sulfur mixed with the therapeutic mercury compound, red mercuric oxide. The name Pulvis Solaris means “Powder of the Sun” and the alchemists believed it could instantly perfect any substance to which it was added.
Psychologically, Coagulation is first sensed as a new confidence that is beyond all things, though many experience it as a Second Body of golden coalesced light, a permanent vehicle of consciousness that embodies the highest aspirations and evolution of mind. Coagulation incarnates and releases the Ultima Materia of the soul, the Astral Body, which the alchemists also referred to it as the Greater or Philosopher’s Stone. Using this magical Stone, the alchemists believed they could exist on all levels of reality.
(...)
On the Planetary level, Coagulation is a return to the Garden of Eden, this time on a higher level in tune with the divine mind."
