An overview of Part 2 Alchemy

Physical Alchemy

Transmutation of one substance into another, such as base metals gold, water wine, etc, is the physical aspect of alchemy. Often called the "big move." Much quackery and charlatanism was involved in this aspect and many people were cheated by rascals who said they were in possession of the philosopher's stone that could perform a transmutation of base metals gold. Human greed knows no bounds, vows poor to be rich, rich richer, and all their efforts, whether successful or not pain and suffering is the karmic result.

Applicants of ancient wisdom teaches that the world of form is temporary and that happiness should not be based on something that is illusory. Illusions do not last and are not eternal. Link the man a false sense of human limitation. Enslave man by seducing the matter to participate in things that hinders the development of the soul. The real truth is what is eternal, and are in the kingdom "of God within us. Unfortunately, most Christians give this one of the most important commands Master of the Nazarene. Old words also reported having less earthly desires, the richer it becomes real.

The "Limited" based plants in the family is also included in this category Physical Alchemy. The purpose of this work is the search for a universal panacea to cure the ills and sufferings of humanity. It's a whole must look noble desire for profit and profit is absent: it would illustrate the ideal of the bodhisattva.

At the time contemporary, not many of those who claimed to have completed a successful transmutation in its labs, including teaching the secrets of his art ardent supporters.

Organic Alchemy

When alchemists realized I got older and no longer the target physical transmutation, seeking a way block the process of aging, to regenerate the body and even acquire a degree of physical and biological immortality immunity to diseases that humanity is so fashionable.

To this end, they began their search for "Elixir of life" that would only prolong their physical existence. At first, research conducted in the field of herbal medicine, for many plants are expected to have the traditional virtues of the famous "Fountain of Youth." mystical Hindus ascribe qualities such as "Soma" vine. Taoists of China, said that certain fungi known as "chih lung" has the virtue of regeneration of the physical body. The Egyptian god Thoth is also said to have described a fungus that gives life, which confers immortality.

At a later period, However, the discovery was made that the true elixir lied on the man himself, and had to be made by the psycho-biological. In summary, the work to be performed biological level.

Psychological Alchemy

Psychological or "mental alchemy" is the scientific development of the mind. Of the four lower bodies, mental health pod is the only unstructured, but in an organized body - that is, in most people. In the course of evolution, mental body will be constituted and coordinated to allow the ego and the waking consciousness, operate fully into account. The Secret Doctrine of HP Blavatsky tells us that in the fifth round mental body must be fully developed. Mental alchemy accelerates the evolution of mind. Allows the physician to acquire the fourth round in what nature intended to reach humanity in the following process with little languid. Mental development involves the development and improvement of skills and abilities following qualities:

1) A universal approach and perspective

2) Imagination

3) Concentration

4) The ability of inductive reasoning, by inference, syllogistic, analytically, analogically, etc.

5) peace of mind

6) Abstract thinking

7) the divine mind

mental responsiveness

9) display

10) relating to discrimination (Viveka)

11) detachment (Vairagya)

12) Meditation

13) mental creation Etc.

Before you can make rapid progress in the development of the former faculty, the mind must be purged of all phobias, neurosis and psychosis are infecting even guilt, resentment and guilt torturing his conscience. The applicant is advised to forgive - Forgive yourself and forgive others. The steps of the conviction, contrition, confession, consecration and communion should be respected when we want the spiritual development.

One of the other action is the unification of male and female aspects of the psyche. Psychoanalysis, however, is only a small outer edges of the mind with their internal polling.

Mental alchemy, like the above categories is not considered as the ultimate goal of alchemy. They are but steps leading to the Transcendental Alchemy. More information about the laws and general mental alchemy transmutation can be read on the Kybalion written opening by anonymous writers.

Transcendental Alchemy

All things in their natural state are considered dead regenerated by the alchemists. Man in his natural environment in the state is a state of death. Master Jesus expressed this precept when he declared: ". Let the dead bury the dead" Transcendental Alchemy State raises man "nature to a state of grace." The process brings together sadhaka the disciple, Soul, and later to the Monad with full consciousness. This is the "mystical union" fervently sought by mystics of all ages. When a man joins the whole of life, which brings together the facts himself to God for life and God are synonymous.

Oneness with the Tao, "Lao Tse mystical absolute deadline for the completion results of their true identity and reality. The person who joins with the Absolute is a Jivanmukta, freedom - freedom from ignorance, Maya and mortality, human consciousness expands and covers Consciousness Cosmic in this unified state. Figuratively speaking, performance drops to the ocean, and the spark of the flame, and the divine nature of man shines most sunshine. It is the destiny of man - to advance the kingdom of God and be what God wants.

There are several systems of spiritual development of catering essentially seven different temperaments of men, which led to their ultimate goal. Transcendental Alchemy is one of these systems sublime. It's basically yoga in nature. Meditation, concentration and contemplation is stressed and the work of previous levels of transmutation conducive to its success.

Alchemy symbols

From ancient times symbols have been used to describe something that words were not enough to express themselves. Intelligence has its limits in understanding the truths spiritual. Intuitively, the man thinks that the forces of nature are intelligently directed. How and why the human mind can not explain. cosmic principles, but insufficient verbally described by the prophets of God, finds its inculcation of the human spirit through expressive symbols and signs.

Symbols are not restrictive or exclusive. Mind to interpret the symbols according to their level of mental and spiritual development. The child-mind interprets a symbol of a way, while transcendental mind to interpret it in another.

Most symbols are taken from nature, while others invented by man, usually taking the combined form of geometric elements. Examples of the former are: the serpent, symbolizing regeneration, scarabeaus - immortality mountains - the obstacles, etc. Examples of the latter: the pentacle Martinique - unity of man and Omneity, the Egyptian ankh - life and immortality, the circle - eternity.

Symbols have a role in transforming the mind. What man thinks is converted. By meditating on the symbols or pictures that represent the power, love, holiness, and compassion, for example, mental induction man develops these qualities in their nature.

Personally developed symbols are used as means for the exchange of communication between waking consciousness and the unconscious mind. This is done by assigning some attribute of a, preferably, a symbol invented by repetitive thought and contemplation on it. For example, the spirit monitor can be attributed to lightning as a symbol in the sense of danger and the proposal it constantly until it is absorbed by the subconscious mind. At a later date, when the real danger is present, an intuitive sense the symbol of a lightning flash through the subconscious mind surveillance, alert and the individual. This method also applies to enrich and expand the symbolic content of dreams and induce subconscious to use the new symbols that are not absorbed to mystify the awakening of consciousness.

Alchemy is very rich in symbolism. Real art itself is sometimes represented by the Pelican and Phoenix. It was invented by mystics of Alexandria in its heyday, the first of a group of Templars in the British Isles.

symbols alchemy of the last century were designed to reveal and to conceal, to stimulate the mind to wake up from your intellectual property, complacency. mandalas describe the alchemical process of transmutation. Truths, laws and principles that are relevant to an evolving spiritual aspirant, are also represented in the mandala. These truths have been obscured by the vague and unexplained diagrams for protection against persecution, because truths, for whatever reason, have been and still are, considered heretical by orthodox Christianity. According to this mess, alchemical symbols, like a boat, took the Christian coloring.

Consider the following common alchemical symbols:

1) The Hermaphrodite

2) Dragons

3) The caduceus

The Hermaphrodite

Modern psychology has discovered that the human psyche has both masculine and feminine qualities. The polarity of the masculine women are present and regardless of our sex. Polarity in the human psyche, however, is usually repressed in the background identification, the subconscious, to the detriment of balance and the psychological stability of the waking consciousness.

There are hierarchies of development and treatment of both male and female qualities within the evolving psyche. The "lowest" rung of the hierarchy is the woman "prostitute" later transfiguration of the "Virgin" success rang and the high priestess "and" Empress "of higher plants. The male side has its transformation of" barbarians "and" Knight " "Papa" and "emperor."

The hermaphrodite is symbolic and symbiotic Anima animus perfect relationship, the highest aspect of male and female qualities in perfect balance and unity within the psyche. This is the condition of the unit that every man and woman trying unconsciously to an external partner. The search for perfection should really be inside. the union of man with Omneity is preceded by the union of man with his alter me in their waking consciousness.

Anyone who owns a coordinated function balancely psyche and creative society. An aura of holiness surrounds the person, the world knows that the person of compassion, wisdom, and powerful. He or she is "twice born."

esoteric teaching tradition in the future Root Race will be individuals hermaphrodites. Besides having an androgynous mind, man would have two biologically spinal cord to the system Cerebra-spinal nerve function and autonomic in a relationship closer. Those who are able to control the functions I like the heartbeat, is a sure indication that the biological and physiological human beings are evolving.

Dragons

There are many myths and legends about dragons killing heroes found in the mythology of cultures different. Means in the Greek myth Apollo Python defeat Siegfried, San Jorge, Krishna, Hermes, and many other heroic figures have had their dragons to slay. Not essentially two types of dragons found in alchemical myths: the celestial and earthly dragon. The dragon is sometimes called "the red dragon."

What are the dragons? Dragons are symbols of gross energy in the body of psycho-biological man. Dragon Land in the microcosm, is the fire of kundalini nesting in the kanda. In the average person, this energy is mainly used for sexual gratification and indulgence in sensual activities. Slaying the dragon symbolizes the intervention of this energy for most uses of ego. The student-hero uses a sword, a symbol of the will to overcome the beast, is the direction the fire kundalini centers of the brain called the channel sushumna - stimulating creativity a higher order than later. Lighting is the consequence of marriage between the kundalini is the positive internal force more negative and Christ force symbolized by the celestial dragon, the Holy of Holies in the temple inside the skull. In a symbolic sense, the hero is tarnished by the blood of the dragon, the immortal. The risen Kundalini is often represented by the phoenix.

The individual who has permanently raised kundalini whistling through the third eye, is honorable called "Naga", a Hindu term for the mystical "dragon" or "snake." With the experience of enlightenment, the Naga account the uniqueness and unity of life. The Naga is known for his wisdom in his words, action and behavior. Master Jesus is said to have praised the Nagas illuminated by urging his followers to be "as wise as a serpent..." Dragons, sometimes represent the free energy resolve and is repressed in the psyche - the monsters "of the id - such as phobias, neurosis, feelings of guilt, among others.

From the point of view geo-earth, dragons represent some magnetic energy flows in parts of the earth ground. That might be called "chakras of the planet." Also correspond to the acupressure points on the human body. ley lines are also associated with geo-dragon land. The Templars had some knowledge on this - they knew how to determine the location of the magnetically charged regions. These sacred lands were selected as sites for cathedrals, chapels, and temples. The dragons are sometimes associated with the body, soul and mind of man.

The Caduceus

mystical gurus, when the disciples of instruction sometimes adopt teaching devices to train their chelas. The caduceus is a device. Represents the major nadis, or subtle nervous system is in the occult anatomy man.

The caduceus, or staff of Mercury, is composed of a rod with two snakes intertwined around the rod. The bar represents an etheric counterpart sushumna spinal cord. In sushumna there are other subtle nerves, channels of refine energy, but are called by yogis "Vajrini", "Chitrini" and "Brahman". Sushumna extends upward and outward in the Super "sutratma." Ida and Pingala Nadis are represented by snakes. Unions where snakes and rod meet are symbolic of the major chakras. Vagabond yogis sometimes personal bamboo with seven knots in it to represent sushumna and chakras.

At the top of the caduceus is a button bar, a climbing vine often attached to this node ending somewhere midway on the staff. The projection represents the bulb with the vagus, the vineyards, which are connected. The vagus nerve ends in the thoracic region. Each of these components has an important role in the development mystical human. Perform spiritual functions.

Occasionally, a pair of wings on each side Jump the knob or rod. This indicates that the kundalini energy the basis of sushumna had been raised and resurrected. Angels wings symbolize a higher level of consciousness and mind.

In general, the caduceus symbolizes regeneration and lighting. It also represents the harmonization of the human mind with the cosmic mind.

Earlier in the Mystery Schools, only followers and the most permanent were worthy of having a highly symbolic staff in their hands. Sometimes the caduceus, or versions thereof, are magnetized with odic energy and Soul force. Tirso held in the hands of the hierophant of the Eleusinian Mystery School was a bar with a divine quality that penetrates. It was designed to stimulate the kundalini fire of disciples and initiates during their gurus deemed necessary and appropriate at certain stages of spiritual growth. The act of impregnating a mystical or religious object with divine influences is called "Consecration" or "magnetization."

Some occultists interpret the caduceus as representing the Universal Declaration Agent Magic. This magic power is widely used in operations and theurgic miracle. Egyptian hierophant were followers in the application of this force. The laws and principles involved in the control of the agent is transmitted by the oath of secrecy for applicants of light. Apollonius, Pythagoras, and Moses are the names that come to mind when considering the introduction of so-called miracles. These figures were all mystery school initiates in the land of Khem.

Today the caduceus is the symbol used by the medical profession. Only in recent years, is the branch of science discovering the subtle energies with which this emblem is silently pointing.

Themes of Alchemy

Alchemy, whatever their level of implementation, is essentially psychological. The entire process described by the alchemists lab is developing especially in the consciousness of man. Awareness is the key to transmutation. God consciousness is the secret of Real Art. Operation in the dimensions above, the conscious mind together with higher levels of consciousness, created the ways of perfection in high places, worlds archetype. awareness operation merges particles are necessary to secure electronic manifestation in the physical world. Consciousness, the state limit, experience and easily produce mental symptoms.

The Spirit is the creator and director of dynamics and kinetics of subatomic particles. Out of the substance cosmic root, or Prima Materia, the cosmic mind and intelligence in the form of the universe. The man, being the reflection of the macrocosm, is able to use the same spirit to express their designs. The models of perfection kept constantly in mind becomes archetypes of life that stimulates their creative work to spiritual redemption and salvation from slavery to human mortality. We become what we think. Thoughts are energy alive, and this is the right direction of these thoughts by the will that the effects of transmutation and precipitation. It is said that thoughts of a divine nature give rise to vibrations of the soul master. Thoughts affect us in a holistic manner. Our fund nerve, blood composition, energy and auric radiation are affected by the state of our mind's thoughts we live in every day.

Each agency is the embryo for further development and expression. Nature is always perfection. The alchemists believed which is the prerogative of men to accelerate the process of nature to attain perfection quickly. This spiritual work is performed in the laboratory of the soul.
From the absolute point of view, one can speculate that everything is perfect for "all" does not exist - his whole being. Everything is in God's omnipresence. God is immanent and transcendent. Perfection is a divine quality, always present in Nature and Man. This innate divinity is compounded by spiritual gurus. The "Do not know they are gods "commandment emphasizes repeatedly.
From the relative point of view, the spots are visible everywhere. man's earthly mission is to transform this disordered condition, this cacophony of man evolution of the principles of the extension with the rhythm of the cosmos - the dance of Shiva.
