Introduction
To be very honest with you I have been confused in all the
senses (especially intellectually) for many years about what really the sulphur
and the Mercury are. I understood that there were three types of Mercury: the
raw mercury, mercury and the mercury fecundated by the Fire (Kundalini). I
could understand that the raw Mercury is the seminal entity and Mercury is the
result of transmuting the raw Mercury, though I never knew what the third type
of Mercury is and I was even more puzzled about what sulphur really is.
This post is an attempt to explain my new found clarity on
the subject of the Mercury and the Sulphur.
Excerpt from “The Mutus Liber” Speaks by Oscar Uzcategui
“In this second plate
we find the beautiful representation of the titanic elements of the alchemical
Art. Since antiquity, they have been represented in diverse ways: sometimes as
mythological Gods Apollo and Diana , other times, as sacred animals the eagle and the serpent and some other times as planets the Sun and the Moon.
These two elements
have been the artifices of the macrocosm and the microcosm. From the Master,
Samael Aun Weor, we have heard many times that the universes themselves are the
product of the sacred copulation carried out by the Third Logos the Holy Spirit with the Second Logos the Cosmic Womb , by
order of the First Logos.
But, what elements are
we talking about? Undoubtedly, of the elements that are in the very depth of
all creation. They are the secret sulphur of the sages and the ineffable and
immaculate mercury.
Sulphur is the
sidereal fire of the authentic Rosicrucians of the Temple of Kumenes, the
mercury we find summarized in the spermatic waters that nature has deposited in
our sexual glands.
As it is above so is
it below, and the macrocosmic nature has also been the product of the union of
the sidereal fire with the angelic spermatic water. Nothing has existed and
nothing will exist without the help of these two primordial elements.
In our human nature,
said fire is the pentecostal fire, named Kundalini or serpent of fire by the
Hindus. This fire comes to the alchemist when his secret water has been worked
through the sacrament of baptism sexual magic well comprehended.”
Commentary on Excerpt
From this excerpt we can gleam that the Sulphur is two
things, it is at its highest level the sacred fire or the Kundalini, which is
the fiery power of the Divine Mother. This sulphur we have dormant in us and
needs to be awakened and developed. However, we do have here and now within us
a type of sulphur which is the sexual fire, or in other more common words, the sexual
drive or libido etc. So everyone has some of that, unfortunately what we have more
of is the arsenified sulphur which is that sexual fire or sexual drive
polarised in and through lust, that is it only works through the mind, through
its conditionings and concepts based on sensations and the senses. The
arsenified or conditioned fire in us only works when the concepts of our mind
are pleased and these concepts are based on sensations, we can not activate
that fire using the heart but using the mind with the fantasy of sensations
etc.
Also finally it makes sense that of the Sun and the Moon,
the Sun and the Moon represent the Sulphur and the Mercury respectively in the macro
cosmos, that is the world outside of us and as these principles create we need
those same principles inside of ourselves to create, and inside of ourselves
they are the sexual fire and the spermatic waters.
Another Excerpt from “The Mutus Liber Speaks”
“Next, we see the
philosophical egg in which the entire Great Work is gestated. Since ancient
times, the egg is a sacred symbol. The Egyptian God Ra is born from an egg and
we also see Krishna the Hindu Christ with his wife Rada within an egg. Hindu philosophy
tells us that the universe has emerged from an immense cosmic egg. The egg is
the very womb of Maha Kundalini, where the stars, worlds, Gods, men and beasts
gestate. All this has great significance,
It is in the egg of
transcendental sexuality that the true celestial man in each of us is gestated
There, within that hermetic egg, the erotic fire and the seminal mercury are
wisely united, thanks to a neutral element constituted by the nitrous salt that
exists in our sexual hormonal secretions.
All this is possible
thanks to the metaphysical copulation that Gnosis teaches us through the
statements made by Master Samael. The erotic fire, united in the act of
transmutation, converts the mercury into a vaporous water that rises through
the vertebrae or chambers of our vertebral column thanks to a secret channel
that traverses them. In India, said channel is denominated Sushumna.
It has been said many
times that light surges from darkness, the chaos. This needs to be understood
on the microcosmic or human level. We should understand that from the darkness
of love devoid of lower passions we take out the Christic light to illuminate
our interior world. Light is found, precisely, hidden in our sexual organs. The
latter, at the same time, is ready in a discreet manner in the organic machine
of the human being. There, at those profundities, one must descend to extract
the Light of the Sages.”
Commentary
Our sexual waters are our chaos and from there we can extract
the light. Using our sexual fire we can operate on our waters and cause the
waters to simmer and release a vapour which is as Master Samael says is the
metallic soul of the raw mercury. Our sexual fire seeks the fire or energy
latent in our waters and joins with it causing it to rise up our spinal column
into our brain and heart.
Conclusion
In conclusion on this topic of the Sulphur and the Mercury
we can conclude using these three points.
What we Actually Have
We have the raw mercury and the sexual fire or sex drive or
libido which is a kind of fire that later needs to turn into the sacred fire of
the Divine Mother Kundalini.
We Have Sulphur and We Don’t
However, a part of that sexual fire that we have is conditioned
in lust and a smaller part is free. The Alchemist controls the conditioned fire
and uses the free fire to create Mercury and later frees more and more fire
that joins with the real Sulphur if the Alchemist has it awakened.
We Have Mercury and We Don’t
We have the raw mercury, the raw sexual energy or the seminal
entity, though we need to voluntarily fabricate the mercury which is the transmuted
raw sexual energy. We also do not have the mercury which has been fecundated by
the real sulphur which creates things such as the solar bodies. Only really
this combination of the transmuted raw sexual energy and the Sulphur creates. This
third type of Mercury is what crystallises into our inner worlds as new
creations and crystallisations.
