The problem with attaching too much importance to science is that science is invariably used to gain advantage for one or more powermongering factions.
Science in the medical/pharmaceutical industry is just geared towards finding products that can be mass produced and sold for massive profits. It has little or nothing to do with actually finding proper cures and most certainly isn't interested in promoting Nature's cures.
Science in most other areas just feeds military capability. As such it is 30-40yrs before such discoveries are released into the public domain.
Thank goodness then that the basics of life don't require any science or scientific knowledge whatsoever. We need only observe Nature and learn from her.
Hence we can pick up an acorn and go plant it somewhere knowing that an oak tree will emerge
We can plant all manner of seeds and grow a myriad of fruits and vegetables
We can use fire to cook and boil water and make steam.
And ultimately, we can have sex and reproduce, creating a new life without having the faintest notion of how that is actually happening.
We are merely the caretakers in all these processes. It is Nature that does the actual work and which transforms one thing into another.
Science is not required in the least.
Where else then should we look for this "miracle cure" than Nature herself? Have we learned nothing?
Mankind, for all it's advancement and technology is still effectively an impotent collection of numpties, for mankind can achieve nothing at all without Nature's helping hand.
That we find ourselves pretty much forced to go with the medical industry's potions, pills and protocols is more of a travesty than anything else. It may seem miraculous for some in desperate need, but the truth is there should be a better option, there should be Nature's option which would be infinitely better.
The Philosopher's Stone is only to be found in Nature and that's because only Nature herself can create it, just as only Nature can create a baby.
All of this is simple, beautiful and ultimately intuitive if one observes what Nature does.
Personally I am angry that a select few have guarded the secret for so long whilst leaving the rest of the human race to suffer so badly. This is something that has to change.
Eventually people will manage to follow the instructions in the numerous texts and create it. It then comes down to whether that power and wealth corrupts them and sees them join the few, or whether goodness will prevail and results in them handing the Stone to everyone else. It is the stuff of Lord Of The Rings.
