The Waters
I think the best way to understand this topic of the waters
is to see them in the following way. I say this because it allows
us to understand the many overlapping areas and the many exceptions that always
occur in esotericism.
The waters are states of consciousness that modify our
sexual energy and that modified sexual energy in turn affects our psychology
and our whole system, but more critically - our sexuality. It is very much
like the mind body relationship where they both feedback off of each other. For
example, when the body is ill the mind suffers and begins to think negatively
which then makes the body to feel worse. The colours of the waters are about
the degree of conscious relation we have with sexuality and our sexual energy.
The black waters or black mercury are not really the raw
sexual energy. The black waters are the state of one's sexuality in relation to
spirituality. If one's sexuality is devoid of spirituality or love then the
waters are black. Humanity is mostly in this area.
Black Mercury
The black mercury is something that is very broad and overlaps
with a few other areas to do with sexuality.
The black waters are present when a person is just beginning to transmute and they are present when a person does not transmute. There is some overlap there. The
white, yellow and red waters are a lot easier to understand because their
domain is clear. The white, yellow and red belong to the Alchemical work - no
problems there.
An Alchemical couple can have their waters black even while
transmuting. The state of their waters will only change when they begin to
change their way of thinking and feeling towards the sexual energy and that
will change their inner sexuality (attitudes, ways of thinking and feeling).
When they begin to connect sexuality to spirituality and their inner or true Being,
and they begin to yearn for their inner Being and send the transmuted energy to
their inner Being and they begin to use sexuality as a way to contact, develop
and come closer to their inner Being they will whiten their waters. The key to
whiten the waters is to yearn for the inner Being while transmuting.
Master Samael said that there were couples in Mexico who had
been working in the Alchemy for 15 years or more and they had not awakened the
fire. He said that they had not whitened their waters and that is why they were
so slow. If we within our psychology keep the same psychology in relation to
normal sexuality or infra-sexuality and we don't yearn for the Being we can't
whiten our waters even if we are practising Alchemy.
Why Black
Because black is the colour of putrefaction.
Also, Master Samael said that the colour black in an aura
has to do with hatred. So the black waters are a very broad class of describing
how negative or hateful in degrees of course, our relationship to our sexuality
is. When we hate sex our waters are black and even when we jump into sexuality
we are going against sex, we like hate or are negative (act with ill-will)
towards sexuality because we expel the energy, we end up really rejecting it
and we harm ourselves and our sexuality by losing ourselves in sex, without
control. That is one reason why our waters assume the colour black.
There are degrees and degrees of black of course. A couple
practising Alchemy would have their waters not so black. Maybe grey and as they
practice that would whiten and whiten and change and change.
The waters do start off black. For a couple that works well
they are not black for long. So, yes that is right too, the black mercury is
the sexual energy that has been worked upon and the whitening is turning that
black mercury into white. And at the same time it is also the crude state of
one's sexuality. It is very broad. The white, yellow and red are not broad like
this.
Single Person and their Waters
You know things are elastic in esotericism. I have heard it
being said that a single person can do much to change the state of their waters.
This of course depends a lot on the quality of their psychological death in
general and in particular in relation to their sexuality. It also depends too
on their sacrifice and level of work for humanity. The single person who
transmutes, uses their sexual energy for their inner Being and dies a lot psychologically and
sacrifices a lot can do some extensive refinement of their mercury. The mercury
it has been said is also in our heart and in our sexuality and in our
psychology. Implying it is also related to the level of Being of the person and
their consciousness. So it is very extensive and broad and as one expands their consciousness and raises their level of Being their mercury also changes.
People may have labelled the black mercury the raw life
force because the black water sexuality is tumultuous like the chaotic waters,
rough etc. The transmutation with full psychological co-operation calms this
water down considerably.
