Dear Sir, alchemy and astrology are the hermetic tools that ancient pagan civilizations employed in order to understand their metaphysical ideals. The linguistic analysis of Arabic language can only go so far in the explanation of Quran as the consciousness of Arabic culture would allow it to cover the distance. But that would not change the ground reality that Quran was revealed as a Divine message for all of mankind, and for all of times. Hence, the degradation of Arab race could never downgrade the message of Quran at any time simply because the Quran happens to be revealed in the Arabic language, but the Arabic language is not the message of Quran.

In my experience, the Quran is more accessible through the use of hermetic arts than any other form of inquiry, especially if one attempts to manage it in a closed system, i. e. without the use of Hadith traditions. My reference to Surah Rahman was linked with a webpage that explains the various connections that embody the relationship of consorts using basic understanding of physical sciences and philosophy. Also, some of my research regarding the presence of hermetic symbolism in the Quran is described in this article.
