Ep 114: Dismantling Scientism and Demystifying Alchemy with Dr. Steven Young

Enjoy this episode? Please share it with at least ONE friend who you think needs to hear it!  What if modern science isn't telling us the whole truth? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Steve Young, an author, musician, and natural philosopher, to explore the world of alchemy and challenge the rigid structures of contemporary science. Dr. Young, known by the music alias Hedflux, takes us on a journey through his experiences and the profound shifts in his understanding of reality. We dive into the reasons behind his decision to write his book, the natural science that is accessible to everyone, and the role shamanic experiences played in reshaping his worldview.   Episode Highlights:  Path to Alchemy: Dr. Young shares the events that led him from a conventional academic background in theoretical physics to the mystical world of alchemy, influenced by shamanic experiences that made him question everything he was taught.  Natural Science vs. Modern Science: A comparison of classical physics, which is rooted in observation and discovery, with modern science, which often relies on authority to dictate truth. Dr. Young delves into how these differences influenced his shift in perspective.  Heliocentrism and Gravity: Dr. Young discusses what led him to question the heliocentric model and the concept of gravity, including his thoughts on various scientific experiments like the Michelson-Morley experiment and their perceived flaws.  The Alchemical Elements: Explore the four classical elements—air, water, earth, and fire—and how ether connects with them. Dr. Young also breaks down the symbology of the tetractys and the deeper meaning behind the caduceus.  Alchemy and the Periodic Table: Dr. Young explains how the elements on the periodic table are formed through the transmutation of the four classical elements and shares insights into the inner processes of alchemy and the vessels used in this transformative work.  Evolution and Creation: A thought-provoking discussion on how the theory of evolution may detract from the universe’s creation power, opening the door to alternative perspectives on existence.   About Dr. Steve Young:  Steven Young, based in Scotland, is an author, musician, and natural philosopher. Holding a Master of Science (MSci) and PhD in theoretical physics, Dr. Young transitioned from academia to a career as a music producer, known by the alias Hedflux. His journey led him to Central America and Hawaii, where he immersed himself in shamanic practices and alchemy. His first book, A Fool’s Wisdom - Science, Conspiracies & The Secret Art of Alchemy (2024), challenges contemporary scientific dogmas through the lens of alchemy.
