You stated "The End", too true! And your choice for a picture is so appropriate. One of the most telling statements in the Bible that I believe relates to genesis is the parable "The Word Of God is the Seed." Seed words of wisdom from your roots.

Hi truthseeker,

It is not clear from your post to whom it is addressed. Who is "you"? What picture are you talking about?

For the sake of clarity, please use the "Reply With Quote" option or otherwise directly address and/or quote the person or the post you are referring to.

Thanks.

Its incredible how powerful the repeated bashing of "focus on principals rather than techniques" really is when one does begin to grasp the entire picture of SM manifestation.

After a huge mindblowing about 'portals' and 'gateways' i had a thought that i could even use external techniques to produce manifestation internally .

Then, spontaneously after that thought, i realised that the body is ALREADY doing it! Which leads me to believe that it could be enhanced by external technology, and assist in a bodies ability to absorb and conjoin with it.

I must say, for a snobby bloke that hardly ever talks to me, Andro has been a real God-send for my understanding of alchemy. The whole 'Hermetic Vision' thing is really starting to seep into my understanding too.

I am purchasing and building an anthanor atm to attempt the purist method of the Magnus Opus. It also turns out, that due to my wife deciding shes an empowered and free woman i have the oppertunity to try and perform the internal works simultaneously.

Any advice in regards to corresponding the two internal and external works together is gratefully welcomed. Some thoughts and questions i have on the topic ill put in another thread.

So my design uses a multitude of forces and creates a serious unbalancing of external factors that cannot help but be impressed upon whats in my 'no mans land'.

I may even sing a little tune to Daath.

At this stage there is still much to learn and meditate upon, but when the basic principals are well understood, and with a little Hermetic Vision, the entire SM synphany does indeed being to play around you and you can hear and feel her song all around you and she will teach you the still hidden mysteries by dwelling with her.

Should be a good experiment, i do believe im likely to succeed, ive basically been perfecting the theory of my design for years now (based upon the principals) and i really dont have much of a choice to go into the mountains and live in the bush for a couple of months anyway, so this is pretty much the show from now on.

Wish me luck, and since i will most likely be coming back very excited, maybe some guidance from those in the know, in regards to what 'should' and 'shouldn't' be posted, since these concepts are still quite foreign to me and i dont understand them.

Something I still wonder about SM is concerning the fixation of it. Also, what would happen if you allowed it to freeze, and then gave it some breathe and sealed it again... would this ruin it or produce a positive effect?

Any thoughts?

Hi Agni,

Please guide me further.

Hi Galaen Lampo,

When you post images, you can post the direct image location URL, ending in .jpg or .png or .gif, etc...

Just right-click on the image and select "Copy Image Location", and then paste the URL you've just copied into your post. This will lead directly to the Image.

EVEN BETTER:

After you have copied the direct URL of the Image (the one that ends with .jpg, .png, .gif, etc.), you post this URL between
brackets, and then the image will be directly visible inside your forum post, so people will be able to see it without even leaving the forum page or their living rooms. Now is this awesome or what? :rolleyes:

This is how it looks like:

Here you can see the device similar to Bacstrom one I am using to collect the SM

Hosting your images on Imageshack is fine. Much better to host externally than as an attachment here. All you have to do is post the direct link to the image, the URL that ends with either .jpg or .png or .gif, etc...

Even better:

Copy the direct image URL and post it between
B] and [B]
brackets, OR use the "Insert Image" button in the text editor, and then the image will be visible inside your forum post, without having to click on an external link to see it.

"Schamir and Chiram assisted King Solomon to build the Temple. Both signify the Universal Spirit and it's use. The Talmud says that Moses ordered the Schamir to be put in the Breast plate amongst the 12 Stones, this is neither more nor less than the Urim and Thumim. The Writers of the Talmud who were ignorant of Philosophy, thought that Schamir was a small invisible Insect. I have told you before that the Word Schamir derives from Schemesch and Chama, the Sun."

My intention with this thread is to suggest a discussion related to the Principles and Archetypal Qualities which are necessary to understand and apply in practice, to manifest the Universal Spirit in tangible form.

Hello Andro! Can you please clarify these terms for me?

Does "Archetypal Qualities" refer to qualities such as Hot, Cold, Wet, Dry, Male, Female?
Do "Principles" refer to Alchemical operations such as Fermentation, Distillation, etc.?

Nothing, on the cosmological scale, is virtually everything. It is the home of all the invisible fields, rippling with the activity of every real force. Every kind of matter produces a field, the fields all mesh in complex ways, often causing interference with other fields. Fields are the "stuff" of the virtual vacuum. A light particle is nothing more than a large interference in the electromagnetic field. Apart from interaction with matter of other fields a field will not be changed in the vacuum. It will not go away; it cannot. Fields are a fundamental part of the vacuum structure itself. Fields in their most quiescent state form the virtual vacuum itself. Even when everything that can be removed from a vacuum has been removed, the Higgs field remains. `"Imagine the entire universe permeated with a constant magnetic field". One need not imagine, for it is true. It is clear from experimentation that certain results appear that are not explainable without the presence of a field. The field consists of an infinite number of one-dimensional North and South poles in an incoherent state- incoherent due to the presence of a multitude of other interfering fields formed by other North and South poles, or particles or quanta. Thus the virtual vacuum is far from empty, far from nothing, it is rather seething with potential energy as the primordial powerhouse of everything in the universe.

Can someone share with me how to philosophically collect our SPIRITUS MUNDI AND STARTING MARTIERAL(S) from sources other than GOLDEN WATER without the use of an air conditioner?

It's going to take me 10 years to make 2000ml of what I need hahaha ... if I'm lucky.

I might have something to share this year probably. (DON'T HOLD ME TO THIS, YOU DON'T KNOW... HOW LONG ONE OF THE FIRST PARTS TAKES IF YOU COUNT IT AS THE FIRST PARTS I KNOW I DO)

*PM ME IF YOU WANT TO PRACTICE DISCRECTION, BUT THIS FORUM IS WITHOUT HTTPS SO, NOTHING IS PRIVATE HERE*

A few among the true sages knew this practice and if my understanding is correct seems to be very simple as I have expressed in the above quotes (read the above post).

Be careful when advising others to read for they maybe inevitably walking to the abyss never to recover for the listener would inevitably read crap(but popular and worshipped) works which can only be understood if you know what you are looking for.

A focus on natural philosophy should be the key and must be recommended above all else.

This, and some other posts of yours have been intriguing me a lot lately.

Being a "good or bad" person will interfire if you will attain the Stone or not?

I've been into spiritual/magic/occult study it has been many years and theres a claim from some people (often from those who follow eastern culture) that if you are not a good person with principles you will never to get psychic power like telekinesis, or astral projection or even magic.

By myself I don't believe this since the evil has a lot of power and much knowledge but what about the Stone? This applies?

Some classical alchemy literature says some people literally got the Stone like a gift from other alchemist, what yout thoughts about that?

There's a saying, I don't remember the source: "The Stone either finds a good person OR makes one."

Not sure I quite agree with this saying...

Sort of. Sort of not.

You can rob it from a grave but you can't keep it. Dee.
You can found a secret society with it but never fully understand it. CR.
Gualdi fell in love with a 16 year old girl when he was well over 45 years of age but it never worked out.
Plato is remembered as great but supposedly slept with boys.

Gualdi is the only one said to still be alive. I don't think there is a clear cut answer. I don't think God decides but many authors disagree with that.

I personally don't think it matters too much. One's ''Bad'' Karma might get in the way of the individual's Work perhaps, but the only thing I think that matters for the most post, is the individual's LEVEL of sincerity, devotion and continuous effort WITHOUT wavering AT ALL as this should be enough with the exception of time, to CAUSE one to eventually pierce the veil.

This is just my personal opinion. I don't actually know.

Who is to judge? "Good" and "bad" are man-made designations - quite often specific to a particular (sub-)culture.

The Universe does not follow human moral standards. I would think, however, that having a constructive influence on the larger whole, in some terms, facilitates the attainment of the Stone. Like begets like!

By myself I don't believe this since the evil has a lot of power and much knowledge but what about the Stone? This applies?

The story goes that some adepts started out as somewhat of a rogue, but became ennobled by possessing the Stone.

Some classical alchemy literature says some people literally got the Stone like a gift from other alchemist, what yout thoughts about that?

I suppose that, in some cases (e.g., Alexander Setonius and Michael Sendivogius), this was more of a narrative element, whereas in others (e.g., Helvetius), it may well have been true.

No thing can be kept forever.

No-Thing can be fully understood. Except maybe the IRS code. Just kidding. No one understands that one.

Gualdi fell in love with a 16 year old girl when he was well over 45 years of age but it never worked out.
Plato is remembered as great but supposedly slept with boys.

So if it's with a girl he "fell in love", but if it's with boys it's just "slept with"? Maybe Gualdi just "fell in lust"?

Anyway, sounds like it worked out better for Plato than for Gualdi in this regard.

Also, mature men sleeping with boys was common & acceptable in Greece at that time, and later in Rome. It was quite normative and consensual. Zeus also did it occasionally. And for some "lower station" teenage boys, it was considered a great honor to be courted by older and higher stationed males. We must look at things in their proper context.

The arranged marriage didn't happen, I think her father thought he was too old. I said fell in love because thats how it was recorded at the time. I would say it worked out better for Gualdi than Plato, he still lives apparently.

"The substance which is sought is the same as that from which it has to be drawn forth."

this makes sense, the substance that must be extracted is SM so the stone is SM in another state which reminds me that
Opposites are identical in nature but different in degree

My grandmother says that "To bring the Holy Spirit to earth we must have faith and perseverance and that she thought extracting it from the material plane was somehow an indecipherable question because heaven and earth were very distant things"
