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.

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...
