Hermetic Glass and Alchemical Furnace – (482)

Introduction

The Hermetic vase or glass is mentioned very frequently in all Alchemical texts and appears in many Alchemical drawings, images and art.



Being very clear as Master Samael is in his teachings, the Hermetic glass of Alchemy is none other than both our Alchemical partner (spouse) and the container of our sexual energy, which is our own sexual apparatus (organs).

The whole key of Alchemy revolves around not ever spilling or breaking the Hermetic glass, means to not allow the Mercury to escape which is to not lose (ejaculate) the sexual energy (seminal entity).
Within the Hermetic glass takes place all the Alchemical crystallisations and disinflations, so breaking or tipping over the glass is to ruin all of these crystallisations. The following excerpt is very clear in telling the reader what the Alchemical furnace and receptacle (Hermetic glass) really are.


Excerpt 1 – Hermetic Glass

“CHAPTER 4
THE FURNACE AND THE RECEPTACLE

1.             In Light of Lights, Aristotle states: “the Mercury must be baked in a triple receptacle of very hard glass.”

2.             The receptacle must be round with a very small neck.

3.             This receptacle is the virile member. The semen is within our sexual organs. It is the crude matter of the Great work.

4.             The receptacle must be hermetically sealed with one cover, which means, it is necessary to cover our sexual organs very well, in order to avoid the spilling of the crude matter of the Great Work.

5.             Our glass must be placed in another vessel, hermetically sealed as the first, in such a form that the heat acts upon the crude matter of the Great Work from above, below, and from all sides.

6.             This is the formula:  Introduce the virile member into the female vagina without ejaculating the semen (without reaching the orgasm).

7.             Thus, the phallus, which is the receptacle that contains the crude matter of the Great Work, remains surrounded by the walls of the vagina and is submitted to heat, equal on every side.
8.             Our disciples will now comprehend why Aristotle states in Light of Lights that, “the Mercury must be baked in a triple receptacle of very hard glass.”

9.             Nature bakes the metals in the mines with the help of the fire, however, it needs receptacles that are adequate for baking.

10.          It is noticeable that heat is always constant within the mines. The mountains filled with mines are completely closed in order for the heat not to escape, because without fire the metals of the Earth cannot be elaborated.

11.          We must do the same with the phallus and the uterus. Both man and woman must withdraw without spilling even a single drop of semen.

12.          In the beginning, “Let your fire be tranquil and gentle, let it be kept as this every day, always uniform, without being weak; otherwise, it will cause great damage.”

13.          However, brethren, you can intensify the fire, little by little.

14.          In the beginning, the practices of Sexual Magic must be short, but later you can prolong them little by little, making them more intense each time, in order to intensify the fire.

15.          Knead seven times, brother of mine.

16.          There are seven serpents that you most raise upon the reed, until the King appears, crowned with the red diadem.

17.          The work is analogous to the creation of the human being because, “Nature contains nature. Nature is delighted with nature. Nature dominates nature and it transforms into other natures.”

18.          The furnace of our laboratory is the virile member and the vulva, sexually connected.”

Excerpt from the book: “A Treatise of Alchemy”, chapter 4 by V.M Samael Aun Weor.


Summary

In summary, the Hermetic glass is our sexual apparatus and with the sexual connection between man and woman, that produces heat, the Hermetic glass or receptacle is placed inside a furnace. For the Alchemical processes both are needed, that is a receptacle and a furnace.

The result of the receptacle being in a furnace is the transmutation. The transmutation is the goal of Alchemy, with transmutation the raw mercury is converted into energy or the second type of Mercury where it can be later fecundated with the spirit of life the sulphur to become the precious metals or distillations of Alchemy.

    Hi there,

    Could you tell me what does the red diadem in the following paragraph represent? 16. There are seven serpents that you most raise upon the reed, until the King appears, crowned with the red diadem. - I've been trying to solve this mystery for a while and what I came up with is following: It could represents the raised fire (red) of kundalini or red Christ of Aquarius (Fifth of the seven). Red colour relating to the colour of blood that circulates in our body (Logos Samael) and also related to the colour of his planet Mars. I really don't know that's why I'm wondering whether you could shed some light on this matter.

    thank you

    Hi There,

    Thanks for your question. As far as I know the red diadem is one's intimate Christ, who takes on the red colour because He is fulfilling the task within us of redeeming us by assuming all of our defects and helping us to dissolve them and pay the karmic debts associated with them. Master Samael says that the red Christ is the revolutionary Christ that chooses the direct way and remains here in creation so to fight for the liberation and realisation of other essences or Monads rather. So the King is Atman or Chesed or our Spirit and the red diadem is the red Christ meaning that Atman is going for His complete realisation or the final liberation.

    Thanks again

      Hi there, you will have to be much more aware of what is going on when you practice. Practice ultra carefully with extreme care and vigilance. Transmute by yourself for fifteen minutes before you practice and then transmute as soon as you practice. Concentrate only on transmutation. The energy obeys your will and imagination.

    I've been reading Gnostic material for years on and off, much of it has made a great deal of sense, other parts I'm having a hard time with. What is it that one is trying to achieve exactly by having sex, yet not allowing the emission of sperm?

    Been working alone for a while now and, feeling much in the body. Seen spirits in the sky since 2006 which revealed certain historical mysteries but in the last few months since beginning with Gnosis, it is as if Truth is a perpetually blossoming flower. I am having a time with losing focus and getting angry at my surroundings or angry that no matter what the anger keep coming back...is there a way to knos if youre going in circles when the only thing I find with gnostics is they seem to only care about what they can tell you and not what we can actually begin... I understand we have to do THE WORK alone, I dont know if that means we have to BE alone and not confer and talk and live in the real world...

Kundry from Parsifal Unveiled - (3948)

The character Kundry is very unusual, and has a mysterious role in Wagner's opera: Parsifal. As master Samael explains, Kundry represents the archetype of the feminine. That mysterious yet extraordinarily powerful force that can raise a man to the heights of realisation or sink him into the abyss of failure.  Kundry in the opera takes on a few different opposing roles, one where she is the temptress that seduced the king of the Holy Grail: King Amfortas giving Klingsor the opportunity to steal the Lance of Longinus and wound his side. She then helps the wounded king searching for balms to heal the wound in his side, then she is again the temptress that tries to seduce Parsifal the young knight who tries to redeem the lost lance. When Parsifal is victorious destroying the castle of Klingsor Kundry changes roles to become a servant of the holy grail and the knights of the order of the holy grail. These are all aspects of the powerful feminine force that is varied and has many differe...

What is the Kundabuffer or Kundartiguador? - (405)

Introduction Gurdjieff and Master Samael spoke much about the Kundabuffer organ and a lot of what Master Samael said is pretty clear. This post is just about going over some of what he said. In the Quinto Evangelio, Master Samael also revealed many more details which do not appear in his books. Note, the Qunito Evangelio is a two tome compilation of transcriptions of many recordings of informal talks that Master Samael had with his students. English and Spanish Terms There are these two terms Kundartiguador and Kundabuffer which refer to the same thing. Kundartiguador is Spanish and Kundabuffer is English. I believe it was Gurdjieff who first introduced these terms in his book “Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson”. I believe “Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson” was not originally written in ether Spanish or English. So these terms Kundartiguador and Kundabuffer are translations where the word “Kunda” could not be translated and the ending "buffer" could b...

When We Speak Bad About Ourselves - Because of Self-Compassion - (2963)

Even Just Thinking Negative When we just even think, let alone speak about ourselves in a negative way, thinking things like: how we are really this and that bad and that is not at all what others see, that we are in capable, worth little, know nothing, can't do this and that, fail at this and that, a liar, a dreamer the list goes on... We can be 100% sure that self-compassion is behind this because pride by itself would never allow this.  In a case like this self-compassion taps into what pride hides from itself and others and exposes it. Feeling that it is doing job at ruining ourselves. Why It Does What It Does? Self-compassion does this sort of thing to avoid reprimand and to extract compassion from others. Self-compassion is about getting compassion for ourselves through others. It is set-up in relativity, using others as a reference point. Really the best thing that you can do for a person who is pitted against this ego is to ignore them, so that they can fa...
