Correction to "Alchemy Psychological and Esoteric Notes - (4405)" Post - (4414)

Master Samael did say in the Perfect Matrimony to practice Alchemy once daily for an hour. However, later on he changed that to say that it should be practiced according to one's nature. Where one will see in accordance with their own nature how often and for how long one practices for. There is no set duration and frequency. Except for once per day.

Master Samael did say that if the couple have the solar bodies Alchemy can be practiced during the day. But the couple have to be sure that they have the solar bodies first of all. It is practiced at night as the Alchemy is magic and the magic of creation always takes place in darkness and so it should be practiced during the night. Also at night the agitating forces of life are quiet and there is more cooling or lunar forces which assist to balance the practice because during the day there is much sun and life agitation that acts to place a lot of pressure on the channels through which the energy circulates.

Alchemy should really be practiced only once per day. If there is no other reason that is outside and above the couple’s wishes to practice it then it should only be practiced once a day. Because to practice it more than that indicates desire and giving into egoical impulses and the reasons are only egoical. Which then breaks the balance and the corrections to the scale are quite costly.

By reasons outside of oneself I mean if there is a illness. I remember being told the case where Master Samael advised a lady to practice Alchemy as many times as she felt like it during the day and night with her husband to help cure the serious cancer that she had. Yes, she did get cured.

Also the Alchemy is extraordinarily creative in the sense that after transmuting there is so much energy in the person's system that wherever this energy is directed via our attention - it creates. In the case of having the ego alive - this transmuted energy through identification with any ego goes to strengthen it more than ever before. Thus the high danger of quickly becomming a Hanasmussen because of not seriously working on the ego.

Basically one disovers for themselves that one can not practice Alchemy without dying in themselves. Otherwise the Alchemy is like a bomb that brings so many troubles and problems and ends up exploding the couple apart.
