The Vile Metals and the Arsenified Sulphur – (487)

Introduction

Often the vile metals or dry mercury and arsenified sulphur is mentioned in Alchemical texts and not it is often it is not clear what these two things really are. The following excerpts clearly define what these two elements are. The very interesting thing is that they can be found in us right here and now.


Excerpt 1 – Vile Metals and Arsenified Sulphur

“Whosoever has created the bodies must then perfect them. In order for the bodies to be perfected it is absolutely necessary to eliminate the Dry Mercury, which is nothing more than the pluralized ‘I’ (ego).

If one does not eliminate the pluralized ‘I’, then the existential bodies cannot be perfected and they cannot be recovered by the distinct parts of the Being.

In order for the bodies to be recovered by the distinct parts of the Being, they must be perfected. They must be converted into pure vehicles of Gold. However, these vehicles cannot be converted into instruments of pure Gold unless the Dry Mercury and the Arsenic Sulphur are eliminated.

What is Dry Mercury? It is the ‘I’ (ego). What is Arsenified Sulphur? It is the carnal, bestial fire of the atomic infernos of the human being. This fire corresponds to the abominable Kundabuffer organ.
Thus, it is necessary to eliminate the Dry Mercury and the Arsenified Sulphur in order for the existential superior bodies, which are created by the Arche of Alchemy, to be converted into the finest quality vehicles of pure Gold.”

Excerpt from the lecture: “The Arche”, by V.M Samael Aun Weor.


Excerpt 2 – Vile Metals and Arsenified Sulphur

“The Great Work is performed with Her. However, if one does not eliminate the Dry-Mercury (ego) and the Arsenic-Sulphur (passional fire), one does not achieve the fusion with Divinity.  If there is no psychological death, then one is transformed into an abortion, into a failure.  Therefore, the work must be performed correctly.

The Antimony is willing to settle the atoms of Gold in Mercury with the condition that the Dry-Mercury and the Arsenic Sulphur are eliminated with the help of Stella Maris. If we perform this, then the Antimony works in settling the Gold.”

Excerpt from the lecture: “The Arche”, by V.M Samael Aun Weor.


Summary

In summary the vile metals are the egoic substances in us, which are really substance that is not physical. The vile metals are our egos or the many psychological “I’s” that we carry within our psychology. They are fragments of our essence trapped or conditioned to think, feel and act in very particular ways. The arsenified sulphur is the sexual enthusiasm or impulse or fire that is conditioned to work in a lustful way.

As a final note, in the work of Alchemy we have to dissolve both the vile metals and the arsenified sulphur, this releasing the freed and purified sulphur and the freed and purified metals. Both the dry mercury and the arsenified sulphur are dissolved by working first of all psychologically, that is, using self-observation and comprehension then appealing to our particular individual Divine Mother or the feminine aspect of our interior Divinity to reduce them to dust.


End (487).

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...
