"Visita Interiora Terrae Rectificando Invenies Occultum Lapidem" is a Latin phrase that translates to "Visit the interior of the earth and by rectifying, you will find the hidden stone." This phrase has a long and complex history in Western esotericism, and has been interpreted in many different ways over the centuries.
The phrase is a metaphor for the journey of spiritual transformation and self-discovery. It suggests that by delving deeply into one's own psyche, and working to correct one's flaws and imperfections, one can uncover the hidden truth or wisdom that lies within.
The "hidden stone" is seen as a symbol of the philosopher's stone or the elixir of life, a substance that was believed to have the power to transmute base metals into gold, and to grant immortality to those who consumed it. In this context, the phrase may be interpreted as a metaphor for the alchemical process of transmutation, in which the practitioner seeks to transform their own psyche and attain a state of spiritual purity and enlightenment..
