Spirituality Alchemy
The key to performing
Divine Alchemy resided in igniting the spark of sacred fire at the center of
pertinent points of the crystalline etheric matrix. Only then would
transformation be spiritually substantive.
Each of the elements
contained archetypal and alchemical properties: Earth was linked with tangible
manifestation, physical materiality, fertile creativity, copper ore and
Conjunction. Water was linked with cleansing ablution, fluidic purification,
osmotic luminosity, the metal tin and Dissolution.
Fire was linked with
initiative action, sacred vigor, dynamic transformation, the metal lead and
Calcination. Air was linked with manifest spirit, vital communications,
sympathetic vibrancy, the metal iron and Separation. Ether was linked with
quintessence, the space-time continuum, the vital principle of collective
universality, the magnetically radiant Archaeus and Mysterium Magnum.
In Alchemy there were Four
Grade of Fire involved in the overall process of Alchemical Transformation. They
were Elementary Fire, Secret Fire, Central Fire and Celestial Fire Elementary
Fire, the fire of the stove (solid, caustic, tainted), was the grossest form of
fire.
To the alchemist it was
external and separating. Central Fire, the fire within substance (eclectic,
inherent, qualitative), was hidden in the heart of matter.

To the alchemist it was
internal and engendering. Celestial Fire, the fire of divine will (powerful,
pure, clear-cut), was knowable only by its actions. To the alchemist it was
gentle and ethereal. Secret Fire, the fire within us, (kundalini, radiating,
intense). To the alchemist it was an external catalyst for change.
The quest for the Philosopher's
Stone, the "Magical Touchstone" of immortality through purity and perfection,
has long been the Arcana and the Elixir that was capable of infusing the Below
with the Above, making the mundane divine.
At its core, Alchemy was
the transformational process of imbuing matter with spirit, of awaking potent
potentialities and of manifesting the intrinsic absolute within extrinsic
relativity.
Although Alchemy and Alchemical
Procedures could be taught and learned by the
Alchemist through reasoning. For the potential Alchemist to really accomplish anything significant
and to awaken the sleeping spiritual potential within matter, the Alchemist
needed to also
be a primordial artist imbued with Divine Powers.
In its highest aspect, Alchemy enabled one to regenerate, to transmutate and to
transform something that was earthly into something that was divine. Just as an
acorn can became a might oak through both elemental power and quintessence, a
human being was capable of be transformed into a semi-divine god or goddess.
