Alchemy Calcination

Alchemy Calcination is the first of seven major operations in the alchemy of transformation.

Chemically, the Alchemy Calcination process involves heating a substance in a crucible or over an open flame until it is reduced to ashes. In the Arcanum Experiment.

Alchemy Calcination is represented by sulfuric acid, which the alchemists made from a naturally occurring substance called Vitriol.

Sulfuric acid or VITRIOL is a powerful corrosive that eats away flesh and reacts with all metals except gold.

VITRIOL is an Acronym for a latin sentence which is a Guided Meditation which increases the powers of the Base Chakra to increase the Grounding of Negative Energies and the Grounding of Negative Emotions

Psychologically, this is the destruction of ego and our attachments to material possessions. Alchemy Calcination is usually a natural humbling process as we are gradually assaulted and overcome by the trials and tribulations of life, though it can be a deliberate surrender of our inherent hubris gained through a variety of spiritual disciplines that ignite the fire of introspection and self-evaluation.

Physiologically, the Fire of Alchemy Calcination can be experienced as the metabolic discipline or aerobic activity that tunes the body, burning off excesses from overindulgence and producing a lean, mean, fighting machine. Alchemy Calcination begins in the Base or Lead Chakra at the sacral cup at the base of the spine.

In Society, the Alchemy Calcination is expressed in the lives of revolutionaries, conquerors, and other warriors who try to overthrow the status quo.

On the Planetary level, it is the Fire of creation, the formation of a livable environment from molten matter and volcanic ashes.

Alchemy Dissolution

Alchemy Dissolution is the second major operation in the alchemy of transformation.

Chemically, it is the dissolving the ashes from Alchemy Calcination in water. In the Arcanum Experiment, Alchemy Dissolution is represented by iron oxide or rust, which illustrated the potentially corrosive powers of Water on even the hardest of metals - energy to clean and wash negative energies and emotions from the psychic bodies. When processed, Vitriol breaks down into sulfuric acid and iron oxide, which are the first two arcana or secret ingredients. The Egyptians smelted Iron as far back as 1500 BCE and used iron compounds in tonics and as disinfectants.

Psychologically, this represents a further breaking down of the artificial structures of the psyche by total immersion in the unconscious, non-rational, feminine or rejected part of our minds. It is, for the most part, an unconscious process in which our conscious minds let go of control to allow the surfacing of buried material like Energy Blockages. It is opening the floodgates and generating new energy from the waters held back. Alchemy Dissolution can be experienced as "flow," the bliss of being well-used and actively engaged in creative acts without traditional prejudices, personal hang-ups, or established hierarchy getting in the way.

Physiologically, Alchemy Dissolution is the continuance of the kundalini experience, the opening-up of energy channels in the body to recharge and elevate every single cell. Alchemy Dissolution takes place in the Genital or Tin Chakra and involves the lungs and spleen.

In Society, the process of steady growth through gradual Alchemy Dissolution is exemplified by agrarian, monastic, or agriculture-based lifestyles.

On the Planetary level, Alchemy Dissolution is the Great Flood, the cleansing of the earth of all that is inferior.

Alchemy Separation

Alchemy Separation is the third of the operations of transformation in alchemy.

Chemically, it is the isolation of the components of Alchemy Dissolution by filtration and then discarding any ungenuine or unworthy material like negative emotions which are caused by energy blockages. In the Arcanum Experiment, Alchemy Separation is represented by the compound sodium carbonate, which separates out of water and appears as white soda ash on dry lakebeds. The oldest known deposits are in Egypt. The alchemists sometimes referred to this compound as Natron, which meant the common tendency in all salts to form solid bodies or precipitates.

Psychologically, this process is the rediscovery of our essence and the reclaiming of dream and visionary "gold" previously rejected by the masculine, rational part of our minds. It is, for the most part, a conscious process in which we review formerly hidden material and decide what to discard and what to reintegrate into our refined personality. Much of this shadowy material is things we are ashamed of or were taught to hide away by our parents, churches, and schooling. Alchemy Separation is letting go of the self-inflicted restraints to our true nature, so we can shine through.

Physiologically, Alchemy Separation is following and controlling the breath in the body as it works with the forces of Spirit and Soul to give birth to new energy and physical renewal. Alchemy Separation begins in the Navel or Iron Chakra located at the level of the solar plexus.

In Society, Alchemy Separation is expressed as the establishment of clans, cities, and nationalities.

Alchemy Separation on the Planetary level is represented by the formation of landmasses and islands from the powerful forces of Air, Water, Earth, and Fire.

Alchemy Conjunction

Alchemy Conjunction is the fourth of the seven operations of alchemy.

Chemically, it is the recombination of the saved elements from Alchemy Separation into a new substance. By healing our energy blockages we release their healed core which forms a larger purified community in the psychic body. Thus creating new talents and capacities of Genius and Enlightenment.

In the Arcanum Experiment, Alchemy Conjunction is symbolized by a nitrate compound known as cubic-saltpeter or potassium nitrate, which the alchemists called Natron or simply Salt. Blue-colored Natron acid (aqua fortis) was made by mixing potassium nitrate with Vitriol or sulfuric acid and was used to separate silver from gold. The inert residue precipitated from the acid during the reaction like a pure child being born. this is the Child of Horus, the Purified Soul like the child created by purifying the man, looking at the planet at the end of Kubricks Movie, 2001 a Space Odyssey which is also a treatise on Alchemy.

 

Psychologically, it is empowerment of our true selves, the union of both the masculine and feminine sides of our personalities into a new belief system or an intuitive state of consciousness. The alchemists referred to it as the Lesser Stone, and after it is achieved, the adept is able to clearly discern what needs to be done to achieve lasting enlightenment, which is union, fusion with the Soul. Often, synchronicities begin to occur that confirm the alchemist is on the right track.

Physiologically, Alchemy Conjunction is Tantra using the body’s sexual energies for personal transformation. Alchemy Conjunction takes place in the body at the level of the Heart or Copper Chakra.

In Society, it is the growth of crafts and technology to master the environment.

On the Planetary level, Alchemy Conjunction occurs when primordial life forms are created from the energy of the Sun or lightning.

Alchemy Fermentation

Alchemy Fermentation is the fifth operation in the alchemy of transformation.

Alchemy Fermentation is a two-stepped process that begins with the Putrefaction of the hermaphroditic "child" from the Alchemy Conjunction resulting in its death and resurrection to a new level of being. The Alchemy Fermentation phase then begins with the introduction of new life into the product of Alchemy Conjunction to strengthen it and insure its survival.

Chemically, Alchemy Fermentation is the growth of a ferment (bacteria) in organic solutions, such as occurs in the fermenting of milk to produce curds and cheese or in the fermenting of grapes to make wine. In the Arcanum Experiment, the process of Alchemy Fermentation is represented by a compound called Liquor Hepatis, which is an oily, reddish-brown mixture of ammonia and the rotten-egg-smelling compound hydrogen sulfide. Egyptian alchemists made ammonia by heating camel dung in sealed containers and thought of it as a kind of refined Mercury that embodied the life force. Liquor Hepatis means "Liquor of the Liver," which they believed was the seat of the Soul, and the color they associated with the compound was green, the color of bile. Surprisingly, Liquor Hepatis exudes a wonderful fragrance, and the alchemists made a perfume of it called "Balsam of the Soul."

Psychologically, the Alchemy Fermentation process starts with the inspiration of spiritual power from Above that reanimates, energizes, and enlightens the alchemist. Out of the blackness of his Putrefaction comes the yellow Ferment, which appears like a golden wax flowing out of he foul matter of the Soul. Its arrival is announced by a brilliant display of colors and meaningful visions called the "Peacock’s Tail." Alchemy Fermentation can be achieved through various activities that include intense prayer, desire for mystical union, breakdown of the personality, transpersonal therapy, psychedelic drugs, and deep meditation. Alchemy Fermentation is living inspiration from something totally beyond us.

Physiologically, Alchemy Fermentation is the rousing of living energy (chi or kundalini) in the body to heal and vivify. It is expressed as vibratory tones and spoken truths emerging from the Throat or Mercury Chakra.

In Society, the Alchemy Fermentation experience is the basis of religion and mystical awareness.

On the Planetary level, it is the evolution of life to produce higher consciousness.

Alchemy Distillation

Alchemy Distillation is the sixth major operation in the alchemy of transformation.

Chemically, it is the boiling and condensation of the fermented solution to increase its purity, such as takes place in the distilling of wine to make brandy. In the Arcanum Experiment, Alchemy Distillation is represented by a compound known as Black Pulvis Solaris, which is made by mixing black antimony with purified sulfur. The two immediately clump together to make what the alchemists called a "bezoar," a kind of sublimated solid that forms in the intestines and brain.

Psychologically, Alchemy Distillation is the agitation and sublimation of psychic forces is necessary to ensure that no impurities from the inflated ego or deeply submerged id are incorporated into the next and final stage. Personal Alchemy Distillation consists of a variety of introspective techniques that raise the content of the psyche to the highest level possible, free from sentimentality and emotions, cut off even from one’s personal identity. Alchemy Distillation is the purification of the unborn Self -- all that we truly are and can be.

Physiologically, Alchemy Distillation is raising the life force repeatedly from the lower regions in the cauldron of the body to the brain (what Oriental alchemists called the Circulation of the Light or Circulation of the Energies), where it eventually becomes a wondrous solidifying light full of power. Alchemy Distillation is said to culminate in the Third Eye area of the forehead, at the level of the pituitary and pineal glands, in the Brow or Silver Chakra.

In Society, the Alchemy Distillation experience is expressed as science and objective experimentation.

On the Planetary level, Alchemy Distillation is the realization of the power of higher love, as the life force on the entire planet gradually seeks to become one force in nature based on a shared vision of Truth.

Alchemy Coagulation

Alchemy Coagulation is the seventh and final operation of alchemy.

Chemically, Alchemy Coagulation is the precipitation or sublimation of the purified Ferment from Alchemy Distillation. In the Arcanum Experiment, Alchemy Coagulation is represented by a compound called Red Pulvis Solaris, which is a reddish-orange powder of pure sulfur mixed with the therapeutic mercury compound, red mercuric oxide. The name Pulvis Solaris means "Powder of the Sun" which is connected to via the Antahkarana and the alchemists believed it could instantly perfect any substance to which it was added.

Psychologically, Alchemy Coagulation is first sensed as a new confidence that is beyond all things, though many experience it as a Second Body of golden coalesced light, a permanent vehicle of consciousness that embodies the highest aspirations and evolution of mind.

Alchemy Coagulation incarnates and releases the Ultima Materia of the soul, the Astral Body, which the alchemists also referred to it as the Greater or Philosopher’s Stone. Using this magical Stone, the alchemists believed they could exist on all levels of reality.

Physiologically, this stage is marked by the release of the Elixir in the blood that rejuvenates the body into a perfect vessel of health. A brain ambrosia is said to be released through the interaction of light from the phallic-shaped pineal gland and matter from the vulva of the pituitary. This heavenly food or viaticum both nourishes and energizes the cells without any waste products being produced. These physiological and psychological processes create the Second Body, a body of solid light that emerges through the Crown or Gold Chakra along the Antahkarana into the Soul .

In Society, it is the living wisdom in which everyone exists within the same light of evolved consciousness and knowledge of Truth.

On the Planetary level, Alchemy Coagulation is a return to the Garden of Eden, this time on a higher level in tune with the divine mind.
