The Isis Papers: The Keys to the Colors

The Isis Papers
Later, in the Middle Ages, Western man (the white collective) continued
his perhaps unconscious search to make oi: acquire melanin (satin
black and golden brown) through the higly symbolic process called
alchemy. Israel Regardie reveals in The Philiosopher' s Stone that the
word alchemy is an Arabic term consisting of the article al and the noun
khemi. The noun khemi refers to Egypt, whose Coptic or Ethiopian name
is Khem. Alchemy would then be translated as, "the Egyptian matter" or
"that which pertains to Egypt." The tenn al Khemi could also be translated
and understood as "the Black matter," or "that which pertains to the
Blacks" or "that which the Blacks are able to make or to do." Alchemy
was essentially a symbolic process involving the endeavor to make gold,
symbol of illumination and salvation. More specifically, the anempt was
to convert lesser metals, such as silver and lead, into gold. The lesser
metals can be translated as "a less desirable skin color or white skin color."
These highly obsessive and fruitless laboratory experiments eventually
led to the development of the science of chemistry, whose very name
comes from alchemy. Chemistry later became the basis for the modem
science of genetics, in which Western man continues his efforts to make
new genetic material, hoping to create life (and possibly genes that can
produce melanin).
Again, what is revealed is Western man's search for that which the
Egyptians and the Colchians (the Blacks) were able to achieve. The real
mystery to the white psyche was that Blacks were able, with their genetic
material, to produce the gleaming satin black and shining golden brown
skin color through the presence of melanin in their skin, a pigment whites
were unable to produce. However, then as now, whites deeply desired the
ability to produce melanin colored skin.
It is of even greater symbolic significance that the special wisdom,
knowledge, power or abilities of the Eyptians, which the European
alchemists had hoped to duplicate, was thought by Europeans to be
associated with or contained in "the philosopher's stone." The alchemists
desperately sought to find or get a fragment of "the philosopher's stone,"
as it was the prerequisite for turning lesser metals into gold.
Paper Money and Gold
The Journal of Human Sexuality reponed in "Pelvic Congestion
Syndrome in Men" that the word stone in the language of the ancients
means "testicle." Testicles contain the genetic material. In the context of
the decoded symbolism of gold, the alchemists' search for the
"philosopher's stone" can be translated as the search for the testicles that
contain the genetic potential to produce the satin black and golden brown
skin color. The word stone, meaning testicle, even comes down to the
present in such language expressions as "stone ache," which is a colloquial
term used for "testicular ache."
The foregoing discussion is presented in the hope of increasing
professional understanding and appreciation of the world of symbols,
logic, thought and behavioral dynamics in which we presently find
ourselves. This world creates the functional pathologies that our patients
expect us to be able to solve.
The central pathology of logic and thought spawned· by Western
civilization is the lack of white self-appreciation, predicated upon the
fundamental inadquacy of the white genetic makeup. This lack of selfrespect
has spread wherever Western civilization bas gone and now
infects all of the peoples on the planet As we move through this period
in which paper money and gold are increasingly difficult to obtain (even
for many white-skinned people), it is now possible, with this symbolism
decoded, to understand why Blacks and other non-whites will continue to
experience difficulty obtaining paper money and gold.
The psychiatrists working with Black patients will have the task of
helping those patients understand paper money and gold as symbols in the
culture and, most importantly, increase their sense of self-respect and
self~worth - even in the face of the declining value of paper money and
decreasing availability of gold. Indeed, Blacks and other non-whites
already possess that for which gold and paper monies have become the
symbols. Psychiatrists working with white patients also will have the task
of helping those patients understand paper money and gold as deep
symbols in the historic Western culture and, further, as substitutes for
white self-respect. Psychiatrists must help those white patients struggle
