    I believe that the physical polarity of alchemy is ment to directly
    lead to the spiritual realm of alchemy.

    Some of the great alchemists of the past like Nicholas Flamel
    encoded their work so that only those who were already deeply
    spiritual will have the perserverence to break their encryption. For
    a person who is spiritually balanced there would be an even
    distribution between the mind, the spirit and the body, according to
    Bardon.

    Someone who pursues Alchemy only for the physical rewards then is not
    spiritually balanced; yet the physical IS needed in some proportion.
    The physical component of alchemy serves to balance the mental
    pursuit of knowledge in alchemy and in Kabbalah(this would seem to be
    why ancient works are encrypted) along with the spiritual pursuits
    which develop along the way as the physical and then mental focus
    together.

    As for your comment about sentience of the mineral kingdom, that is a
    concept that i've seen often covered in another
    philosophy/spirituality system that I've studied called the Law of
    One. In that system the whole universe is evolving energetically and
    increasing its spiritual vibration so throwing more energy in would
    lead to higher evolution(they posit that conciousness moves from
    mineral to animal to human to angelic). This is similar to what
    you've suggested.
