My beautiful Andro, let me share my perspective and conception; Your Work is comparable, from my understanding my wonderful Andro, the Cycles of Nature operating WITHOUT an atmosphere... Nothing to contain the Air, the Clouds, the moisture, because you have opened the vessel, etc... When we work inwardly, in our own selves, ALL is contained in our Mind, nothing escapes, like if I think of a pillow a pillow doesn't poof in front of me.

Consider if you haven't already, the atmosphere WITH the Cycles of Nature. The formation of the Earth? Consider persistence and constant ''gravity'' or ''habitual force'' and ''BINDS'' IT to unity. You cannot expect Nature to take a break, so think of a process that is truly One in this regard.

What I've suggested in this thread is a very simple experiment that everyone can do in their kitchen and observe how some interesting things can happen. That's all.

Sorry Andro I think I might still be in your 2nd Light phase, MAYBE... but I do think I've experienced Clarity before...
Forgive me, test if my love for you is sincere and please embrace me, I love you, sorry to bother your post.

I just decided to visit my salt (Nacl). It looks like she decided to run away from me without waiting for the end of the experiment. A couple of tablespoons of salt from the kitchen and water. (the temperature is about 100*F/40*C). I didn't think she would climb so high. It's just funny.)

Great result there Vyacheslav.
Where did you get your water from?
Just asking to be absolutely sure, but I’m already 99.999% that you’ve used ground water collected from the source.
[Edit: you might have used tap water in a small town which uses bore water as the source, in which case it would still be ground water but just not self collected]

So I guess my only real questions are:
Did you pre-distill the water before dissolving the salt?
And if so, did the original water contain much calcium?
Also, how many iterations did it take for the salt to rise like that?

It probably doesn’t need to be said, but IMO the water which you used to achieve this result is the greatest treasure in the whole world.

Hey Vyacheslav, very pretty pictures you have shared!
I have had similar results just using distilled tap water and sea salt.
As to the type of water you used I also am curious as I also think some waters have more magic in them than others but also believe that as long as the water is contaminant free, it can safely be structured with the salt or even simply intention without the salt. I think the climbing salts is just a good indicator of this energetic structuring. Do yours taste somewhat sweet?

Good and easy work.

Looks like Vyacheslov is just playing 'show' and not 'show and tell'.
That's OK....I can complete the 'tell' portion for him.

Definitely used ground water, not possible to get this effect from anything else.
Had to be pre-distilling the water too, the salt is very pure which means no contaminants.
As for how many iterations, I'm gonna say 5-7.
It'd at least take a few runs to get that effect and it'd take more patience than most people have to go past 7.

That water is definitely a winner my friend.
Just looking at those pics gave me a warm and tingly feeling inside.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi everybody.

I'm sorry, I just didn't have time to answer earlier.
No show or anything like that.

This is simple distilled water. I bought it at the nearest store. I did not measure the acidity of the water. These photos were taken 10 days after the start of the practice (approximately). The water evaporates very slowly (very), so I missed the moment when the salt left the jar, climbing so high. It just amused me. It was very unexpected . In fact, this is one "turn of the wheel", but extremely slow. Because with high temperature and boiling, the results are not so interesting. For this reason, I chose the natural path. Salt from food packaging, without any processing. We add it to our food every day.

I understand you want to catch something special here. But it's the truth. I do not use any special conditions or chemical compositions. Except for the force of nature. I have a lot of patience and have free time. Simply.

At first I thought this effect was due to the specialness of water however I've experienced this with straight tap water now.

There are definitely factors which affect the formation of this but they're not what I at least had initially thought. For example, earlier in the year I lived in a cooler environment, in a damp area and noticed that when I put one of these salt water experiments out to evaporate it only formed this structure on the side where the chimney flue was, the heat on the vessel seemed more important than the water used now that I've tried it multiple times. There is a lot to be learned from this though that can be applied in other ways I believe.

Maybe I should apologize. Because the topic of this topic is "central salt". I posted these photos in the wrong section. There is a more appropriate place on this forum "Salt & Water". But I discovered it after I made the post (yes, I'm still discovering this place).
However, the real essence of this work is to obtain/refute a number of theoretical assumptions about the nature of the central salt and methods of its preparation.

As for the water, I'm going to go to the store now and buy it again. To read the composition and properties. If it's that important/interesting.)

What we refer to as "Water" is in itself a very unique substance & medium, even tap water.

According to Merelle, sometimes "water" doesn't even contain hydrogen or oxygen, but is a mixture of other gases... Who knows...

The "activation" or "charging" during evaporation (by means of common heat) also plays a part in this little experiment.

Indeed water is very special no matter its source. I was speaking to the fallacy in my thinking that not all waters would do it and tap water definitely wouldn't. There is much to be learned from this experiment.

Something happens when matter repeatedly changes states, especially salts it seems. A coming together of the water, salt, and a correctly applied heat.

Vyacheslav,

I can totally see why youd post it in the Central Salt thread, I experimented a lot with this in that regard and came to the conclusion that the Earth I was after comes from the sun and the moon in a suitable matrix. Still working in this regard though so can't share much more than that.

Nice Jimmy! :)

So... the salt subject is not over for me yet!

Experiments ongoing that will take some months:

1) I took 1 part of our previously worked salt (that was S&C + Calcined 7 times) and placed it (dry) in an open flask, covered with a gaze. It's outside the window. It will stay there night and day for 40+ days. We will see what happens. It's almost full moon and I want to see if it gets any kind of "lamb effect".

2) I took 1 part of our previously worked salt (that was S&C + Calcined 7 times) and placed it (moisted but not diluted) in a hermetically sealed flask. Getting the same influences. I Will show up the results, if any.

New experiment:

I started a new work using fleur de sel and HIM water. So... expect pictures soon from this experiment. The others will take a long time.

All the best;
C.

Amazing, by the way.

The S&C continues - 30+ sequences performed. I'm filtering it between S&C in order to purge the brown matter that arises (1) in the coagulation.

1) After 30 S&C the salt does not climb the vase as in the beginning. It stays at the bottom.
2) After each coagulation the salt is solved in distilled water and filtered (using a paper filter + cotton ball in the funnel). The filtered water is changing color.

(1) the brown matter ---------------------------- (2) - Salt water side by side with a flask with distilled water

How amazing that you've done that many S&C's.
Thanks for sharing your progress.
Interesting that the levity effect disappeared.
Are there any other properties that you've noticed after 30 iterations.
Eg: does the salt redissolve faster/slower? does it precipitate softer/harder? how does it taste?

Hello GA!

I'm aiming to perform 100+ S&C's. I just let it go dry, solve it, filter it, and do it again. Although a simple process I already learned a lot of new things.

Regarding observations:
It solves pretty fast. It precipitates like flakes or leaves as in pic 1. It is very salty.
The strangest thing to me is the color of the water after filtering it.

The brown/greenish (at microscope as shown before) matter is very strange. I'm also pondering isolating it, using a big batch of salt in order to get a good quantity of the brown. It cant be just sediment. After 30 S&C and filtrations. And more. I had some particularly unusual feelings with it already when I leave it to boil with the solved water (this is, without filtering between S&C).

I will be sharing more as I go through it.

C.

I don't remember how many times it took but volatile things get lost at low temperature if you don't cool and recollect the same stuff over and over.
