I went into the principle of alchemical transformation earlier. Order out of Chaos (Or the Phoenix [new order] rising out of the ashes [of the old Order] being one such themes, found in example in 9/11and the cycle of destruction and creation. I think a good way to explain this is at the example of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

when Ed and Al were left on that island for their training, trying to figure out what does "all is one, one is all" means. They find out that it refers to the circle of life. The principle of Alchemy is that you turn something into its base elements to then rearrange it to give it a new shape. Destruction and then creation (Shivas cosmic dance of destruction and creation). And our heroes find out that the entire world runs on that principle, the Rabbit gets eaten by the fox, the fox eventually dies and he or its excrements become the grass and plants and those get eaten by the rabbit becoming it again. The island that was at the bottom of the sea, and becomes a mountain eventually. By these means all is one, and one is all.

Previously it was stated that the circles in Alchemy are needed as that is what gives energy to transmutationcircles, but as our heroes found out they incorporate that energy giving circle, the forces that break down things to its essentials to rearrange them and create new things out of it through their own existence in the circle of life. That is probably the reason how Ed and his Sensei could trans mutate without drawing circles, as they realised they are the circles themselves that give the energy.

Not only that, but the Philosophers Stone meant to make one all powerful is powered by souls, the very same ones everyone has inside them. And the Happy End happens when Edward realizes this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigredo

In alchemy, nigredo, or blackness, means putrefaction or decomposition. Many alchemists believed that as a first step in the pathway to the philosopher's stone, all alchemical ingredients had to be cleansed and cooked extensively to a uniform black matter.[1]

black matter, like the black monolith, or the black cube >>13318543 which is the 9/11 >>13318152 memorial, a black cube led into the ground and the monolith (hilton hotel) next to the WTC like the monolith in 2001: A space Odyssey released by Kubrick the same year they started building the first tower and starting the 911 emergency hotline, evolving the apes.
