# Stacking Gold For Esoteric Reasons

This might be crazy but I'm going to do it anyway. I'm going to
buy gold coins for my spirituality.


In Hermeticism, there is no good in the material world itself. All
good is from god. But you can be saved by MAKING (Alchemy is
literally the study of making) the properties of materials good.
The essense of god is creation after all.

The top of materials is gold. Because it shows the eternity. It is
highly resistant to corrosion so that it remains the same in
thousands years. You can find it in its raw form because of that.
In contrast, silver reacts with some elements like sulfur in nature
-- this partially explains why silver is feminine since sulfur is
masculine. Silver is immune to oxygen and water though.

This is similar to the eternity of mathematical proofs. Both are
perfect, incorruptible, eternal and not rustic. Because of that,
the symbol of gold is the sun. The sun symbolizes god. Since it is
the origin of light which symbolizes Logos. Logos also means reason
in general.

Hence making gold with other elements symbolizes the transmutation
from temporal and materialistic states to an eternal and spiritual
state. Of course, chemically making gold is impossible, but this
metaphysical transmutation is always possible.


Technically, buying gold is different from making gold. But I can't
make gold (everyone can't) and the eternity and nobility of gold
is still the same. Similar to other domains, I want to focus on
things that will still matter in 50000 years.
