Alchemical Waters in Depth - (825)

Introduction

I have asked myself so many times what really are the Alchemical Waters? I have been thinking a lot about that lately and here is a relatively more complete understanding of what they are. I don’t want to say that the following explanation is the best or the most correct but according to what I have understood in the past the following is a more complete, coherent and clearer picture.

More than the Physical

What are these waters really truly in depth, what are they? They can not only be the sexual energy they must be representing more than that. We know that the waters change colours but the sexual energy physically doesn’t change colour, even when a person has the waters red the sexual energy has its natural colour. So then the waters must represent something more than just the physical.

The Psychological and Esoteric Dimension

In a previous post we established that the waters in alchemy are the sexual energy but with another dimension added to it. As with everything there are three basic dimensions to everything. There is the physical, psychological and the esoteric. So to then the waters have a physical, psychological and esoteric part or dimension to them. The physical part is the sexual energy, however when it comes to the colours of the waters the physical part is not really the important part, it is more the psychological and esoteric parts or dimensions that are important.

Just something on the side “FILIUS NOSTER” means the philosopher’s child or the child of wisdom. This I think means that the work of the transmutation of the Alchemical waters in the Alchemy, the union of the sun and the moon, is the result of wisdom or consciousness and has to produce wisdom and consciousness, which is Hermes the one who walks on the waters as one who is not drowned by the waters.

Full Picture

The full picture of the waters is really how we relate to our sexual energy and therefore how we use our sexual energy and how that use affects our sexual energy.

The waters take on different colours or states based entirely on how we relate to our sexual energy and how or what we use our sexual energy for. The quality of our inner relationship to the sexual energy essentially determines everything.

Conclusion

So in effect the waters are much to do with a state of consciousness related to the sexual energy. So then this really refers to sexuality. The waters then a representation of our relationship with our sexual energy, the waters are our sexuality and the colours that the waters take on show the degree of awareness that we have of the sexual energy. We could also say that the waters presented in Alchemy represent the states of awareness related to sexuality. That is why there are many colours of the waters, because there are many states of awareness or degrees of awareness of sexuality and the sexual energy.

Good Place to Introduce a Slight Deviation to the Theme

This may be a good place to take a slight deviation to inquire and ask the question: what really is sexuality? The next post is about looking at what sexuality is.
