What is Alchemy Q&A

So what is Life according to the Alchemy?

What is intelligence? What is the essence? What is Nature of elements?

Nature manifests through growth, it is an urge from within outward, a force that drives expression and manifestation.

It is invisible, it is life found in bodies, animated by the divine breath.

How does the Nature manifest?

Nature manifests as male and female, as Yin and Yang, as Left and Right Sephirot within the Kabbalah’s Tree of Life.

An alchemist must first know the Nature

An alchemyst knows that all substances grow from seeds, and that these seeds are already in the body of the substance. Nature transforms the black carbon into diamonds, through millions of years of natural hardening. Alchemy is the Art of increasing and bringing an element into perfection with the greatest possible speed.

The Alchemist must be able to discriminate between the male and female qualities and manifestations. The matter must be separated from its impurities.

Alchemy Symbol, Can we give Nature a chemical symbol, a sign, an element?

Nature can be compared to Mercury. Mercury is a chemical element with the symbol Hg and atomic number 80. It is also known as quicksilver. It is highly toxic. Mercury is dual - fixed and volatile, it ascents and descents. Ascending, it seeks to purify.

The Alchemist starts with a good seed, puts it to its proper earth, and when the seed is ready s/he rarefies it so that its virtue is increased and indefinitely multiplied. According to Alchemy the Nature should be assisted, so the Alchemist works according to the laws of Nature, recognizing that the Art is merely a method that copies Nature. Within the process of purification the Nature ends…

Alchemy Symbol of Gold

An Alchemist would tell you that all the beings contain in their inmost centre a precious grain of the elementary gold. The nature of man reflects the entire universe in miniature.

According to Alchemy, One is developed into Two, and the two are merged into one. Elementarily and symbolically Sulphur is the living male, and Mercury is the living female. Female and male must be joined together, so that they form a germ. The Alchemist should separate the light from the darkness. Both must be purified and putrefied and joined a-new together. Their merge results in an Egg (Philosopher’s Stone) with the four elements joined together. The shell is Earth, the white is Water, the skin between the shell and the white is Air, and the yolk is Fire. In the middle of the yolk there is the 5th element that is the Life Force.

After the purification, a perfect equilibrium of the four elements enters into the Lapis creating the Philosopher's Stone, the Mercury of the Philosophers, or the Philosopher's Medicine that gives health and cures diseases, perfects metals changing them into Gold. Long life, health, and happiness are all within the promise of this true AURUM, the most powerful and most precious Gold.
