在煉金術的著作中，《THE BOOK OF LAMBSPRING》佔了重要的地位，他是煉金術的精神，他講術有精神的物質如何昇華。

其中有幾張圖令人恐懼，是XIII的父吃子的一幕，從原文開始看﹕

Here the father devours the son; the soul and spirit flow forth
from
the body.

My Son, I was dead without thee,

And lived in great danger of my life.

I revive at thy return,


And it fills my breast with joy.

But when the Son entered the Father's house,

The Father took him to his heart,

And swallowed him out of excessive joy,

And that with his own mouth.


The great exertion makes the Father sweat.

父親見到久學而回的兒子，狂喜而吃了兒子。

看似可怕，但卻是重要的一環，這亦代表了回歸的力量。

煉金術裡面，我們從常態的MATAL，黑化，白化，紅化是一個基本的邏輯，對於死亡以至重生的醒覺，在煉金術上從不可怕。

這一章的融合，有如已經經歷的兒子，回到父親一樣，從血脈帶來的狂喜而歡悅，是學成而歸的理想，是感情與和諧，以至統一的表現。

這有如是經歷的兒子回到國王，成為了卡巴拉中有如國王與新娘的關係，也是KETHER的統合。

從血緣中，一切從分立變回統一，是由建立變成回歸，是一切的源頭，賢者之石的誕生。

然後我們再看結局XV

Here father and son are joined in one so to remain for ever.

The sleeping Father is here changed

Entirely into limpid water,


And by virtue of this water alone

The good work is accomplished.

There is now a glorified and beautiful Father,

And he brings forth a new Son.

The Son ever remains in the Father,


And the Father in the Son.

Thus in divers things

They produce untold, precious fruit.

They perish never more,

And laugh at death.


By the grace of God they abide for ever,

The Father and the Son, triumphing gloriously

In the splendour of their new Kingdom.

Upon one throne they sit,

And the face of the Ancient Master


Is straightway seen between them:

He is arrayed in a crimson robe.

從統一中，再回到了一個新的王國，是統一建立了全新的力量。

這也是FAMILY，是陰陽同體的國王，是ANCIENT MASTER的精神，也是神之愛的恩賜。

兒子在父之中，父親也子之內，正是這個同體的陽性。

這也是三為一體的完美，也是創造了一切的力量。
