"...like the Alchemist, each of us has to find It in the sound for ourselves."
Exactly! The Sound It is like the philosophers' stone and the claim is that the search for it is governed by the similar psychological process because we don't know what is responsible for what just like alchemist didn't know how chemical reactions happen. Now we teach that to kids at the age of 12! Five-six centuries ago that was something available to few individuals in the world (btw Newton was also doing alchemic research). Intellect is a part of psyche and the knowledge how psyche works helps to understand and guide the workings of the intellect. For example, when confronted with the darkness of the matter, psyche tries to illuminate it with own projections (hence e.g. animating the Nature) and use the language that has worked so far in understanding the world (for christian alchemists the word of the Bible). However simple it sounds, it has a deep consequences which e.g. first facilitated and then blocked the development of quantum mechanics (with Bohr's obsessive insistence of using classical notions and building the classical-quantum cut into the theory). This is not dissimilar from what Romy has been preaching for years - a system is a reflection of the owner's personality as while random walking, in the vast majority of audio cases, through the equipment the builder tries to use own projections as a guiding light. At the risk of repeating myself, I strongly recommend Jung' "Psychology and Alchemy", Part III.
Edit: Despite Goedel's result, math has been working wonders from information transfer to sending people into the space to modeling modern pharmaceuticals.
