Retreat Post 37 – A Little About Alchemy Practice - (629)

Disclaimer – Not Mine Only Notes

I have to stress that these words are my notes only. The thoughts and understanding behind them do not come from me but from the terrific missionaries that lead the various activities during the retreat.

Alchemy Practice

According to master Samuel's instructions the first step in the practice of the Alchemy is to transmute.

Egyptian Prana Yama

One can even use the Egyptian prana yama minus the Ra position during the transmutation in the Alchemy.

Heat and Fire Sensations

Don't depend on the sensations of heat and fire as an indicator that one is doing well in the practice. Generally if one is doing the practice according to all the precepts one is doing well.

Cherubim

In the practice of Alchemy the cherubim is created which is formed at the beginning of the practice and is dissolved at the end of the practice. The cherubim is the Divine Mother and this cherubim assists the two people in the work of the dissolution of the ego.


Past Lives Practicing Alchemy

Master Samael says that when one goes to practice the Alchemy tin his life for the first time, one will see that one has practiced the Alchemy in the past. There will be a short experience that will indicate this to the person.


Physical, Magnetic and Esoteric Aspects

In the practice there is a physical, magnetic and esoteric or magic aspect to it. The magnetic and the magic aspect is never explored in normal sexuality. Well mostly not.


How to Practice

One in the practice of Alchemy, has to withdraw their attention from the sexual centre!!!

This is quite important. One should also make their mind quiet, or at least be able to not follow any of the thoughts that arise in the mind. One should also keep their emotions quiet. If one is concentrated on their inner Being and has the emotion of yearning that the practice benefits his and her inner Being then all should be fine.


Day Makes the Night

The day makes the night, meaning the Alchemy is practiced at night and the psychological state that is created during the day determines how the night will be.


Previous Experience Sexual Experience Advantage or Disadvantage?

We have two cases, one where a couple has been having sex before for a time and then there is the case of a couple who has never had sex before. When these two couples go to practice the Alchemy, they are both beginners. Though the couple who have had sex before have a slight advantage, however, they have not prayed during the act before, and they have may not have separated themselves from the senses and sensations before.

Attention with Mind, Attention with Essence - (5197)

These two attentions are different. Attention with the mind tires the brain. and reduces the flow of life into steps, where it is inevitable that the narration of the mind begins to take over. With the awareness of steps comes a certain tediousness and the feeling of the flow of life leaving us behind. With the attention of mind very little of what's behind events comes to us... Attention with the essence brings the power of presence, in other words brings a certain depth and continuity of flow  Attention with the essence doesn't tire or strain and opens doorways into perceiving what is behind events and the thoughts and feelings that appear within us. It allows us also to flow with the flow of life, which is a pleasant feeling. Conclusion, make the essence bring attention to outer and inner life. End (5197).

The Sacred Substance Askokin - (962)

Introduction In simple terms, the sacred Askokin substance is the result of the mercury and the sulphur. It is the transmuted energy that crystallises to form the internal bodies (astral, mental and causal). In other words, it is the transmutation of our sexual energies. The Abrustdonis’ and ‘Helkdonis that Gurdjieff mentions in the excerpt below, taken from “Belzeebub’s Tales to His Grandson” are none other than the elements of mercury and the sulphur so spoken about in Alchemy. Excerpt on the Sacred Substance Askokin “I first learned that the destiny of beings arising on this planet of yours is chiefly to elaborate—by means of the process of their existence—the vibrations required by Nature for the maintenance of those former parts of the planet now called Moon and Anulios, when, do you remember, I became worthy personally to converse for the second time with His Conformity the then still Angel, but now Archan...

Wisdom from the Movie “Kingdom of Heaven” - (2168)

Introduction There are some movies that leave you with some pieces of advice that at point or another in your life or in the lives of others prove useful. This movie: “Kingdom of Heaven” was terrible to watch (too many battle scenes and people dying) but offered some very useful messages. In this post, I have presented a few, that have come in handy at point or another. Just to give you a bit of context, the movie is about the crusades, where the French and English were trying to defend the “Holy City” – Jerusalem from Islamic occupation. The topic of religion and God is a constant theme in the movie. It is very violent though, matching it frankly, quite awful to watch. Your Soul is in Your Keeping Alone An interesting dialogue between the French appointed king of Jerusalem and French Knight, the protagonist of the movie. Note, the king wears that metal mask because he has leprosy. King Baldwin I...
