I do believe that an alchemist (or initiate of any sort, for that matter), is to be totally beyond conventions/norms in the due course of time. Their master can disconnect this conformist ideology with knowledge of truth. Or, they can just work with fire until they well understand the proof is self, not others. A master in the end, suggestably, assists with creating a master. This is what I do not like about religion - not enough fishing with your own tackle.
