Introduction
It seems to me that because metals are so important in our
everyday life and body they must be significant in the esoteric or spiritual
realm as well.
A Plan
The next series of posts are about investigating a little
this small inquietude of mine. For this I am going to choose to start with the
metal iron, mainly because it is features so frequently in our day to day life
and it is quite important to our body’s health.
I also hope to investigate and post information about the
other very important metals in our life, such as copper, gold, silver, lead,
aluminium, tin and zinc. The elements of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen
are also very important to our life as well, and we know from Master Samael’s
teachings that carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen are important esoterically
because they represent the superior existential bodies of the Being.
A Very Good Book
A very good book on this subject of metals is “The Secrets
of Metals” written by Wilhelm Pelikan. Pelikan was a student of Rudolf Steiner
and it is said that he devoted most of his life to the study of Anthroposophy.
Conclusion
Basically this can all be synthesised in the great maxim
from Hermes Trismegistus “as above so below”. As metals are important here they
are important above. Because metals are important in the Earth and as we are a
universe in miniature, we have the metals within us in a degree corresponding to
our size and they are just as important to us as they are to the Earth and the
cosmos.
