Our product matches the historic descriptions of the latter-day manna of biblical reference called the Water-of-Life; the Alchemist's Elixir of Life (the White Powder) and some versions of the Philosopher's Stone. We also believe that it is described in Hindu and Chinese alchemy.

While it may not be the sweet gum that sustained God's people during their 40 years in the desert (Exodus 16:15), we believe it is a version of the hidden manna promised to His children in the latter days (Rev. 2:17):

"He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it."

"The anonymous master who sculptured the medallions in the Porch of the Virgin Mother, has given a very curious interpretation to the condensation of the universal spirit. An adept is contemplating the stream of celestial dew falling on a mass, which a number of authors have taken for a fleece. Without condemning this opinion, it is equally plausible to suspect here a different body, such as that mineral designated by the name of Magnesia or philosophical lodestone. It will be noticed that this water does not fall on anything else but the subject under consideration, which suggests the presence of an attracting quality hidden in the body."

"One of the earliest Chinese legends tells of the island of Yong Chou on which was a mountain of pure jade, 10,000 feet high. From this mount gushed a spring of sweet waters, known as the Jade-Wine Spring. A person drinking several goblets of this wine became intoxicated, thus assuring himself of immortality."
