YES!!
THE PRIVY SEAL OF SECRETS.
TO omit circumstances,
the first Matter out of
which the Philosophers
Stone is to be had and
taken, is a subject common and
poor in outward appearance, and
therefore it is called a little thing,
and it is in every Mine, yet is
nearer in some things than in
others, and in a word in the Mineral
Kingdom you must have it, in
the most excellent work of the
Mineral Hierarchy; therefore not
Animals or Vegetals. Know ye
then, (although I deny not Raymonds
Canons to be true) that
the lively Nature being constrained
with the strength of Gold, in the
most subtle heat, the Tincture may
be made well easily, and in a short
time, which will convert all Metals
into perfect Gold; but the way of
the Philosophers in the Universal
Work, was out of the Mineral
Kingdom: leaving therefore Animals
and Vegetals, I will acquaint
you with the Universal Subject.
Know that all Philosophers affirm,
that the Matter is but one thing,
and a vile thing which costeth nothing,
cast in High-ways and trod∣den
upon, which is the hope of
Metals, or a thing containing all
things needful for the Work within
it self; and albeit curious Wits
hold all these to be Aenigma's, yet
are they true according to the letter.
Briefly, to manifest the truth,
you shall know that in all Mines
whatsoever there doth lye certain
Beds, of a lutinous or clayish substance,
under the Earth, which in
some places is harder than in
others, the deeper the Mine is, the
more unctuous is the Clay; and
this Clay is the Mother of the Metals,
the feeder of the Mines, for
in it lies hid the Spirits, or the
three Principles of Metals, (viz)
Salt the Body, Sulphur the Soul,
and Mercury the Spirit, not common
nor running, but a white Vapour
which resolves it self into a
white Water; I say, invisibly in
this confused lump of Clay, lies
hid the aforesaid Principles.
And this is the true Matter or
Subject of the Philosophers, and
mark how that it agreeth with that
I said before: First, that it is one
thing, which yet containeth three;
Secondly, that it is a vile thing,
and yet is not so, for it is a lump
of Clay; Thirdly, that it is so vile
and common, that Workmen throw
it out of their Mines, and tread on
it, as a thing of no value: I have
seen High-ways paved with it in
Hungary, and it is no other in
other Countries. And is not this a
Chaos or confused Matter? is not
this the hope of Metals? be you
judge. I took my Matter in Hungary
out of the Mines of Sol, and
so I was taught, because more decocted,
and riper or hotter Spirits
are there, than in any other Mines.
Paracelsus out of it wrought his
Elixir, but the Philosophers generally
took their Matter (which is
the same in shew and substance,
but not so ripe) out of the Mines
of Saturn, and that is their Saturn
so often mentioned in their Books;
not Ore of Saturn, nor Mercury of
Saturn but the Sperm, where the
Vegetable Spirits are not specificated
to Lead, but lye hid in the
lutinous lump of Clay.
Now the difference between that
which is taken out of the Mine of
Sol, and that which is had out of
the Mine of Saturn, is this; in Sol
the Matter is so prepared, you shall
have need but of one Putrefaction,
but in that taken out of the Mine
of Saturn, you must have three Putrefactions,
which indeed is the
great and universal Work. And
thus I have fully and plainly revealed
the Matter, the Work is easy
“Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘THE [very] STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED and THREW AWAY, HAS BECOME THE CHIEF CORNERSTONE; THIS IS THE LORD’S DOING, AND IT IS MARVELOUS and WONDERFUL IN OUR EYES’?
Hello, may I say a few words about fermentation?
Fermentation is directly related to the dissolution of the compound or the black crow. It is the way that cells are less cohesive and can extract more easily. Thus, the spirit will rise from its earthly and dark prison with vigorous wings. The dissolution is the first alchemic operation, the key to unlock the closed doors of nature. Who knows it well, holds the key to the shrine in their hands.

Hi Illen,I like the direction in which this is going. There's a lot of generous wisdom here.
Yes, but only partially. Also, in part, more about the "pee-pee" interpretation and its derivatives. I've never been too convinced about the "poo-poo" theory, although I don't rule it out.Hi Illen,
When you say "generous wisdom", are you referring to the "pee-pee/poo-poo" interpretation?
Maybe the infamous "Hollow Oak" should be interpreted as the large intestine, in this case?
what would do you think passes through this hollow oak?
Metaphorically, perhaps, but what substance could be contained in a hollow?The "Stone" that the "builders" rejected/eliminated?
Well, if the "Hollow Oak" is code for the large intestine...Metaphorically, perhaps, but what substance could be contained in a hollow?
Why do I feel like I'm on a Merry go round? We're back at the beginning.Well, if the "Hollow Oak" is code for the large intestine...

Air, spiritus mundi, it is already fixed init your matter as the support for life, it is re released by cyanobacteria back into the air and then you breathe it in, hence the breath of life. It fixes itself onto cerbro spinal fluid for the entire ride , Amrit drip, and I'm uncovering now just how far indeed the rabbit hole goes ...Metaphorically, perhaps, but what substance could be contained in a hollow?
Hello dear Leo, very interesting,your indication--- and through thought and controlled breathing and thus find the basis to all religion and spirituality. Why did Esau sell his birthright for a bowl of lentil soup? Why lentils and legumes?? Cyanobacteria fixes niter and forms symbiotic relationship with your body to release the life force from food and air, this is why the two are combined in the gut, eastern alchemy does indeed have the same root as ours, in man..
Tell me if the matters he worked on were urine and poop. Howcome his lungs were damaged by the labors of hercules?
Anhydrous ammonia is something way different than the garden variety stink one get from the BOA method.
