Enlightened spirits value all aspects of life over monetary wealth. But, the alchemists of old are said to have spent their lives in study of how to turn lesser metals into gold. It is often said that their manifestos are coded blueprints to the actual creation of gold. The suggestion is that they actively sought what should mean so very little to the enlightened. Is that what they were doing? If it was not their goal, what was their goal? The "Rosicrucian Trio" contains the three prominent Rosicrucian Manifestos: "Fama Fraternitatis", "Confessio Fraternitatis" and "The Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz." The Introduction by Michael R. Poll suggests that these manifestos were written with a very different meaning that is far more in line with the enlightened.
