LA SAINTE SCIENCE

Page d'accueil Suite

J’avais un ami. Il s'appelait Serge.

Durant plus de dix annees nous

nous sommes rencontres une ou

deux fois par semaine pour discuter

de sujets inhabituels. Serge etait

passionne par le monde de

l’etrange. Il avait eu l’occasion de

suivre les cours d'un professeur de

physique, ancien eleve de Madame

Curie, qui professait que notre

monde etait beaucoup plus etrange

que nous ne le soupconnons a

priori. Le professeur Rameau de

Saint Sauveur, puisque tel etait son

nom, parlait de mondes paralleles,

de portes de passage d’un monde a

another. He spoke of

antimatter worlds , of extraterrestrials and

their machines which he called

vihmnas, and still of many other

subjects related to Tradition, such as

Alchemy or the Science of the

Druids ... And Serge, who had been

the pupil of this professor, was

inexhaustible on these subjects and on

many others related to the history

of civilizations and religions. He

was my joy for these evenings

we spent together.

For a long time, we have tried to

unravel great secrets.
One day Serge arrived home

with a

strange box in his hands . He declared to me, with an air

mysterious: "inside is

the emerald of the philosophers

". I discovered a green salt that I

recognized immediately. Sage was

surprised that I broke through his

secret so quickly . And this was the starting point of

a long process that we

traveled together in our

common quest to discover the

great secret of the alchemists. Ten

years later, after much

work, we have agreed that

the green salt once presented as

the emerald was not the true

salt of the philosophers. But Serge,

by his gesture, made me

realize that alchemy

was such a concrete science.

than our physics and chemistry.

Before that day, I had participated in

conferences on alchemy and,

each time, I had come out with the

feeling that this science was very

strange and without

concrete reality . Serge allowed me to

change my opinion.

Today, he left for this

other world whose

mysteries he was trying to unravel. He was still

young, but will undoubtedly consider

that he had finished his mission here below

and that it was time for him

to work with

new tools , from other places ...

It is in memory of this Friend that I

offer you the fruit of my

research continued, without him,

for many years. And if

I am not yet allowed to

declare the reality of the

metallic transmutation and

the elixir of long life, perhaps

you will find through this

study the basis of my conviction of

the reality of a Science which remains

above all a quest for

knowledge of what we

are and the laws that govern the

functioning of the universe.

THE ART OF ALCHEMY

Home page Previous Next

The Holy Science, also called the Art

of Alchemy, is one of the

oldest sciences there is. The

famous Emerald Table, written

by Hermes Trismegistus , was written in

ancient Egypt. Since

this remote period, innumerable

were the men, famous or

not, who devoted their life to

the study of the Science of Hermes.

Do we usually know what intense

interest Isaac Newton had in

Holy Science? Many were

the books of Alchemy found in his

library. And this great champion

of the two so-called exact sciences,

that is to say physics and

mathematics, even had a copy,

entirely by hand, of the

English translation of the

hieroglyphic figures of Nicolas Flamel.

What powerful interest thus pushed

this great scientist towards the search

for the philosopher's stone? Find the

secret to making gold, or the secret to

the elixir of long life? Like

many others, it is evident

that Newton found neither

So, myth or reality?

If he is a myth, then it is

extraordinary

how powerful he is to stand

the test of time, for

millennia.

Reality? It is strictly

impossible to prove it, even if

Eugene Canseliet affirmed to have

carried out a
metallic transmutation at the beginning of this century in

company of Fulcanelli and if we

have photos of

transmutations carried out by

Kamala-Jnana in 1959.

Please establish your own

opinion, I offer you these

pages, but above all read and re-read

the books of the most famous Alchemist

of the 20th century century, FULCANELLI.

PREAMBLE
Summary Next
May we be allowed to offer this

work, on one of the

most secret sciences that exists, to those who

work for the construction of a

better and more fraternal world, and

who have decided , despite the difficulties,

to embark on the path of

alchemical research, with for

ultimate goal, the one and only service

of the suffering humanity. To those

also who think that science has

not yet revealed all the secrets

of the universe, who seek to

understand, do not accept anything that

has not been checked and experienced,

and do not refuse to examine

new ideas which would make it possible

to explain the puzzles not yet

solved and serve as a basis for

experimentation, source of

progress.

For the basis and the beginning of our

work, we used the

recognized modern authors of which it

is possible to admit with

certainty that they have reached the

complete realization of the work,

sanctioned by

metallic transmutation . We worked

with the works of Fulcanelli who

achieved the great alchemical work

at the beginning of this century. He carried out a

transmutation in the premises of

the Sarcelles gas plant, in the

presence of several people.

Eugène Canseliet, then present, was

commissioned by the master to publish

and know his work. "The

mystery of the cathedrals" and "The

philosopher's houses"

constitute

essential works for those who

wish to venture on the

path of the alchemical quest. But

they are not enough.

Fulcanelli himself, advised not to

neglect the ancient authors.

One of the problems for the

researcher today is

his form of mind which does

not correspond to that of yesteryear. Very often

these authors only become

understandable after having

discovered the operations. From our

point of view, they are therefore of little

use at the start of the search

to discover the entrance to the path.

But they turn out to be of

prodigious interest , as we will see

for some of them, in order to

confirm what more writings

modern and

laboratory experience have been able to unveil.

We also worked with

the work of Kamala-Jnana. “The

dictionary of

alchemical philosophy ” is in itself a mine

of information which makes it possible to

restore their true values to

different alchemical names

used over the centuries. It

constitutes a precious work

to enlighten the researcher on a very

tortuous path.

Unfortunately the whole of

the work has not, to our

knowledge, been reissued and only

250 copies are available

today.

isolated researchers. "All the great

work photographed", in 43

four-color process accompanied by

judicious comments, is an
encouragement of

capital importance . One of the photographs

reproduces the result of a

metallic transmutation operated

by Kamala-Jnana, in front of 12

people, in 1959.

We would not like to omit

also to speak of the interest which

the

revelations bequeathed by the

formerly initiated , as we will see for

the basilica of Vézelay and the castle

of Bussy Rabutin.

We hope this work will help

sincere researchers in search of

this immortal science of

alchemy, a sacred science more

true and more immutable than

any of the

so-called exact sciences . If we take for

only example that of the

cosmic medium , physicists

imagined, until the end of the

last century , constituted of an

etheric substance which they thought to be the

support of

electromagnetic waves . Today they

imagine space both

empty and traversed by tiny particles

called photons, gravitons ...

What will happen tomorrow? Alchemy has

the serious advantage of having stayed

itself over the centuries.

But what is the

alchemical quest ?

Many imagine that the

only objective of Holy Science is

metallic transmutation. In truth,

the goal is not this. The

philosopher looks for the so-called

“projection” powder to

simply ensure that the stone has the required degree

of purity and energy and

that it has indeed reached the stage of

universal medicine.

And if success and knowledge

devote the long and painful

years of laborious research

of the philosopher, it is not for the

vain satisfaction of his desires

personal. The sage who has reached the

goal knows that the "Gift of God" has

been entrusted to him so that he may serve his

brothers in humanity, that he

draw near to the humble, the

disinherited, to all that works,

suffers, struggles, despair and weep

here below, and allow the light

to shed a little better light on this world

sometimes plunged into very

dark shadows.

ALCHEMY, SCIENCE OF

PURITY
Summary Continued
In this chapter, we are going to

talk to you about a knowledge that

official

science is rediscovering today

and the importance it

takes on for ourselves, in the

search for our own

realization: purity.

It has been proven that certain

material bodies acquire

quite peculiar and
sometimes surprising

physical and
chemical characteristics
when their

degree of purity reaches and exceeds

certain values. Many

purification techniques have been

discovered in order to eliminate from the

bodies, the unwanted elements

which prevent them from manifesting

their true characteristics. The

distillation is one of these

techniques and we know that

water, for example, distilled three

time becomes so corrosive that it

attacks and dissolves the container in

which it is contained and that

special containers had to be invented in

order to preserve it. The

fractional crystallization techniques

give salts of a high degree

of purity, which used in

medicine have, depending on the degree

reached, greater or
lesser efficacy in the fight against

the disease. During the purification

of metals,

modern techniques , such as that of the

molten zone , make it possible to obtain

very pure substances in which

less than a thousandth of a

gram of impurities remains in a

kilogram of metal.

Thus the iron, subjected to these

techniques, from the gray that it was

becomes of a very pure and

brilliant white, as unalterable to

chemical agents as the

purest gold . It is no longer oxidized by

the oxygen in the air and is freed

from this leprosy which is the rust of

imperfect metal.

If we reason by analogy,

we can assume that our

own characteristics

will become quite different from what

they may be today,

when we succeed in

reaching a

sufficient level of purity . We must first

acquire the purity of thought which

guides us throughout our

life in the actions we take

for ourselves and those

around us. We must

learn to think just and pure,

without allowing ourselves to be influenced and

despoiled by the thoughts and actions

of others, if we are to achieve

this purity which will reveal in us

characteristics very different

from those which were ours,

when we we let it be

ruled by the ebb and flow of

thoughts outside of

ourselves. So we must become the

master of our thoughts and our

actions in order to reveal in us these

unsuspected possibilities linked to the

degree of purity achieved. This long

learning of mastery and

purity requires that we think

and act for ourselves, but

also that our thoughts and

actions are directed in the direction

of good.

In order for purification to take place, it is necessary to

go through the stage of analyzing

the experiment and eliminating

errors. In all the

physical purification techniques , whether it

is distillation,

fractional crystallization or the

molten zone technique , it is necessary to renew

the experience of many.

times and it is also necessary, for the

result to be achieved, that the slag

or the impurities be rejected or

eliminated. The analogy is still

perfect. Our own purification

cannot be done in one

experience. It is only after

renewed experiences that we

can hope for greater

purity, but also, on condition

that the experience has been understood and

that the elimination of errors has been

carried out.

Material

purification techniques require

skill and know-how that must be

learned. Likewise, the analysis of

our experiences and the elimination of

our mistakes require a certain

know-how, knowledge that

must be acquired. Among these we will

recall one that seems

essential to us for a fair analysis

: that of full responsibility. It

is necessary that we understand and that

we accept everything that

happens to us, for good or

evil, we owe it to ourselves

same, completely, totally,

and we must try to

discover, especially if the experience was

painful, not not what could have

made act such or such person who

participated with us in the experience,

but what we did

ourselves to deserve it. And

above all, never judge or accuse

other people of what

happens to us that is unfortunate or

unpleasant. And if we discover

the error or misunderstanding at

the origin of our painful

experience, then we will have

eliminated one of the dross from our

being and participated in its purification.

We will have brought it closer to the

moment when it will have reached a

sufficient level for

the true characteristics of the

inner being to be manifested .

The

same is true for our stone . It is only after

long and sometimes tedious

operations of

alchemical purification that we can

hope that she manifests the

true characteristics of her

reign.

Now, in the same way we have the

means necessary for our

purification, so our

raw material has

everything it needs to

achieve its goal. "Everything is in

mercury", repeat the best

authors.

We will never be able to

truly progress if we

do not learn to strengthen our mind

and if we do not eliminate all thoughts

that do not belong to it. And,

in the same way, we will not

allow our stone to

progress, if we have not known the

endow, from the start, a strong

and vigorous spirit and, for that, reject

far the temptation to use

materials which are not close to him

by nature.

Summary Continued
THE ALKAEST OF THE ALCHEMISTS
Summary Continued
The intermediary that we

need for the purification of our

stone was called "solvent" by the

philosophers of the past. This

universal solvent , which is also called

"Alkaest", is a product which

requires some precautions

to be handled. But if it is

so named, it is not that it

is capable of dissolving all

bodies, in which case no container

could not contain it. It is because it

remains an essential element of the

great alchemical work and that it

has the power to penetrate

metallic bodies, to attract their

sulfur, according to the

consecrated expression .
According to the philosophical teaching

and the traditional doctrine, the metal

must first of all be dissolved and it

must be done with the aid of a

metallic solvent which is appropriate to it and

very similar in nature. This

mercury acquires the name

of universal solvent when

crystallization marks it with the

royal seal .

All philosophers recognize

that the great secret is that of

mercury and it is in vain that one can

seek its operation in the

works of the most famous authors.

So this is the reason why,

behind Fulcanelli, we insist

on this pivot of art which has caused the

ruin of so many investigators.

In the alchemical iconography

our first Mercury has

Eve, the mother of the work,

just as she was the mother of all

men. It is this which gives

the metal that it reinforces,

vitality, vegetability and the

possibility of subsequent mutations.

It is through him that

vulgar metals, true and

only agents of stone,

change into the philosophical

and dead metals that they were,

become alive again. It is their

bath that revives them and brings them back to

life.

It is with her that you will be able to set

out to conquer the grail, this

vessel which once contained the blood of

Christ and which the pious

Joseph of Arimathea collected . It was, according to

legend, carved from an emerald

that stood out from Lucifer's forehead

at the time of his fall.

In the ancient

Germanic legend , Tituel raised a temple

to the Holy Grail in Montsalvat and

entrusted its care to twelve knights.

templars. The Knights of the

Round Table , in search of King Arthur,

set out to conquer the

sacred vessel . Like your brothers of the past,

you will have to set out to conquer it.

As

tradition dictates, you will have to fight against the dragon,

cross the sea, reach the

famous island of Delos and if God

guides you with his star, you

will then reach the object of your

secret desires. Be aware,

however, of which vase we

hear about. If you

then have the container, you will still have

to discover the contents.

You will have to work for a long time

encore avant de recueillir le sang

qui donne vraiment la vie. Mais

recherchez d’abord le vase adapté

à sa nature pour le contenir, car

celui-ci devra, de toute nécessité,

faire l’objet de vos premiers efforts.

Canseliet fournit une excellente

explication sur l’origine et la nature

du vase. Il dit « Le substantif latin

ver joue sur l’assonance du vert et

verre qui apportent leur

complément d’informations sur le

plan de la réalisation physique et

nous dirions même quant à la

phase décisive du grand oeuvre.

Ver désigne le printemps et Gulliver

fut donc dans la pensée de

Jonathan, le printemps du vaisseau

”.

And it is indeed in the spring

of the work that you will have to

discover this so secret vase.

Look for the vessel, says

the master again, and the Sybille, when

asked what a

philosopher was, replied: "He is the one

who knows how to make glass". Strive

to make it according to our

secret tradition and

then you will have the emerald that you

can cut according to the rhythm of the

sacred geometry.
Summary Suite
VEZELAY ALCHEMIQUE

Summary Suite

The primordial tradition has been

perpetuated through the centuries,

since the dawn of time, to

reach us through

the intermediary of sanctuaries which

appear, for those who know how

to recognize them, as high

places of knowledge. In the heart

of Burgundy, in the heart of

Celtic and Druidic country, Vézelay

appears as one of the most

prestigious sites likely to

reveal this knowledge, by

teaching the great laws of the life

of the cosmos through an

eternal science , Alchemy. Vézelay is

an important stage on one of the

roads that lead to Santiago

de Compostela. It was even one

of the four rallying and

starting points. And we recommend that

the researcher stop at Vézelay

in order to collect the elements that will

allow him to access the star.

Near the site of Vézelay, in

Druyes, we find a

deep cave , currently obstructed,

called "the fairy cellar", whose

origin and use date back to

very ancient times. In Saint

Père, we discover the site of the

salt fountains dominated by three

granite spurs. We invite

"science lovers" to

find the cave and open it in order

to draw water from the fountain.

The cave, like the rock, is

for the alchemist the symbol of the

raw material that he must

discover in order to begin

the work. When he

finds it, he will remember that it must contain

everything he needs in order to

complete his work. So he will

begin by hitting this

matter, this rock, this cave, with

the help of the magic spur in order to

make the pure water hidden in it gush out

Isn't it strange to find

near Vézelay the

symbolic elements of any

alchemical quest , with a precision that

we do not find anywhere else

because here, the fountain is salty. It

contains salt, the mediator par

excellence, without which no mutation

young and green sulfur is not

possible.

Vézelay, a name that captivates

the imagination, amazes the eye,

moves the heart. Vézelay was

once called Verselai. And the very name of

the city guides us in our

research since it teaches us

that our stone, like the

newborn Christ , will need the milk, the milk

of the virgin in order to ensure his

first strength.

And here we are already in possession of

the water from the fountain which is our

first mercury and which

the very name of the city indicates to us.

Summary Suite
LA PORTE DE LA MADELEINE
Summary Suite
In the 11th century, settled in Vézelay

an extraordinary cult dedicated to

Mary Magdalene who very quickly placed

Vézelay among the high places of

Christianity. Saint Bernard

preached the crusade there. Philippe Auguste

and Richard the Lionheart gathered

their armies there on their way to

Jerusalem. Saint Louis, three years

before dying as a Crusader, came there for

the last time to honor Saint

Madeleine. Meeting place of saints,

kings, heroes, but also of

the multitude of the humble, Vézelay

knew its development with

that of the order of the temple.

Let yourself be guided through the

streets of the city to the church of the

Madeleine to discover an

invisible reality that will connect you to the

temple of Celestial Jerusalem. From

whatever road and path you

come from, the Madeleine offers

wonderful perspectives. It is

difficult to imagine today what

the facade was originally because it

has suffered a lot from time and

men. But the splendor and

beauty illuminate inside.

On the threshold of the Madeleine, the surprise

is prodigious: beyond the

leaves of the second portal, in the

half-light of the narthex, Christ

proclaims "I am the door". Then

opens a path of light

until the dazzling choir

streaming with clarity.

Christ at the central portal

Christ, seated in the center of the

central portal , in a large

almond halo, arms wide

open, occupies the place of the throne.

Lord and master of the three

worlds, his immanent presence

shines on the celestial vault. Half

circles and spirals on his tunic

attest to the authenticity of the

Vézelian tradition and

remind us that it is through

cyclical revolutions that our stone will evolve

towards ever more purity.
The body of Christ is surrounded by

an ovoid halo, an almond

mystical. This symbol tells us

that the almond, like the seed or

the seed, is always

hidden in total darkness and

reveals to us a high point of

science.

But the whole of the work is so

clearly exposed in this

stone book that it is worthy of being

among the most beautiful monuments

dedicated to Holy Science. And so

that there is no ambiguity,

Christ is located above the

square stone, the cubic stone, that

which requires, to be

regularly cut, three

successive repetitions of the

same series of seven operations.

Summary Continued
STUDY OF THE CENTRAL PORTAL
Summary Continuation

We discover on either side

of Christ, some seated, others

half-up, grouped by three, the

apostles, seven of whom are holding a book.

Those who stand to the

Lord's left carry the closed book, and

those to his right carry the

open book .
The alchemist knows that his

prepared Mercury offers the appearance and form

of a stony, crumbly and

flaky mass . The crystalline films which

compose its substance are

found superimposed like the

leaves of a book. This is the reason

why this mercury received

the epithet of leaflet book.

The closed book reveals the

raw mineral substance . The open book

represents the prepared material. It

is not uncommon to see the book sealed

with seven bands and Saint John wrote

in his vision of the Apocalypse: “

I saw in the right hand of

him who throne, a book written

inside and on the back, sealed with

seven seals, I saw a

strong angel proclaim aloud:

Who is worthy to open the book and to

blow up the seals? »

Saint Peter, at the right hand of the Lord,

holds the keys capable of opening the

book which he holds in his hand and which is

appears on the edge,

thus differentiating it from other books.

In religious iconography,

Saint Peter is given the keys

as a particular attribute that makes it

possible to distinguish the one who

was, among the apostles of Christ,

the humble fisherman Simon, the one who

was to become, after the death of the

Savior, his

earthly spiritual representative .

After handling the

fisherman's net , Pierre holds the keys

capable of opening the book. However, one

of the keys, the first, the most

considerable and the most secret,

always appears in

visible characters on the cornerstone of

the work.

Saint Peter holds the keys to

paradise, although only one is enough to

ensure access to the heavenly sojourn.

But here, in this book of stone, we

discover a

complementary indication which can be of

great use for the seeker:

Saint Peter holds the keys against

the book and is placed between the

four closed books and the three

open books. He therefore indicates to us

that we must begin to work on

our material, to evolve it until

it is covered with the sign and

the book is not opened until

the key is found.

But how to work our

matter in order to open the book of

nature? The master who built this

stone masterpiece answers

us and invites us to discover what he

teaches under the veil of the symbol.

From the hands of Christ extended

horizontally,

rays emerge which illuminate the apostles,

but also the books they

hold. These will therefore be

opened using the key, but on

condition that the divine fluid has

permeated our metallic seed

which is this young and green gold.

"Without the absolute concordance of

the higher elements with the

lower ones, our matter,

devoid of the astral virtues, cannot

may be of no use ”: such is

the secret teaching that

Fulcanelli gives us in his

philosophical homes . Then he adds: "

Knowing the right moment,

time, place, season, ... is

essential for us to ensure the

success of this secret production

". A zodiac occupies the first

half circumference of the arches

and consists of 29 medallions

plus two halves of medallions

located at each end of the

semi-circle. Perhaps

you will discover, in

the ordering of this zodiac,

the time and the hours favorable to

the harvest of this cosmic fluid.

Michel Maïer, in his “

Fugitive Atalanta ” advises to start

the work “when the sun is in

Capricorn” and he adds “the

first operation will be performed

until Aries”. Finally, he indicates: "

the work of women begins

until the Lion" ... Seek,

reflect, but do not despise

such advice.

The lintel develops

horizontally in two directions

on either side of the center line

of the portal. It represents the

various functions of

earthly humanity by characters

numbering forty. The

sculpted scenes to the left of the axis

show the corporate professions that

organize rhythm and

social harmony. On the right are

shown the accidents, ailments or

physical infirmities which can

affect suffering humanity. These

two aspects correspond to the

two aspects of the world, to heaven and

to hell, but also to the two states

of the books which correspond to them

in the ordering of the

stone work. And the number forty

also brings its revelation of

mystery. Forty is the key to the

whole account of the life of Moses,

just as it is a compartment

between the different phases of the

magisterium.

STUDY OF THE CAPITALS OF LA

MADELEINE

The arrangement of the capitals in

the basilica of Vézelay is no

accident. It is part of a

set and a guiding thought

which already, during its restoration,

had not escaped Viollet le

Duc who recognized that, during

its construction, Vézelay contained

a school of artists who worked

from after traditions unknown

today and that the subjects treated

formed a whole where everything

seems strange and mysterious.

This whole, this Ariadne's thread which

connects each capital, would it

not be this same science which

flourishes in the tympanum of the narthex and

which blooms again at the beginning of the

new era , the eternal Alchemy? We

will not provide all the

proofs and we will not study

all the capitals, leaving it

to the researcher to pursue his

quest so that he discovers for himself

what links the

symbolic elements together and that

these teach this

hidden Science of purity which is a

true Art and that at the end of the road he

discovers medicine in the heart of

holy chalice.

Summary Suite

Saint Antoine and Saint Paul

Summary Suite
We discover the meal of Saint

Antoine and Saint Paul. The two

saints share the bread

that

a crow brings to Saint Paul each day . We notice

above the two figures a

group of three leaves and on

each side the sun and the moon.

The foliage is stylized in the shape

of a lily. Below, in front of the oven where

two cups are cooking, we

see two vases with long necks.

Here we have a

complete symbolic set. First of all

the moon and the sun represent

our sulfur and our mercury. The

lily represents our

white stone . The two vases, one the vase

of nature and the other the vase of

art, symbolize our two ways,

one wet and the other dry. In

Saint Paul's

letter to Timothy, it is written: “In a large

house there are not only

vessels of gold and silver, there are

also vessels of wood and earth. Some

are reserved for

honorable uses and others for base

uses ”.

But in order to make our own

contribution to the

esoteric teaching of the capitals of the

Magdalen, we will point out

that the two saints, who

also represent each of the ways,

share the same bread and that

it be brought to them by a

crow. Now this raven,

representing the

dark blue or black coloring , is the

canonical seal of the work. We

therefore invite the researcher not to

disdain the volatile black, because all the

philosophers attribute to it the

greatest and rarest virtues and

recognize it as a

true "Gift of God". However, we

recommend that he

follow

Fulcanelli's wise advice and cautiously wait for the appearance

of the green color.

after that of the black crow.

We find the same theme

in capital 44 of the nave, at the low

north side, but the athanor has disappeared

and is replaced by a

plant that we identify with

nostoc, this cryptogam called

trémelle.

Greenish in appearance, often swollen

with dew, it dries up under

the action of sunlight. But

above all, nostoc is born at night,

needs the night to

develop. This is one of the reasons

which led the ancient

alchemists to take this

mushroom as a symbol of

their raw material, subject of their

great work and receptacle of

the universal spirit.

Summary Suite
The lion in Alchemy

This capital, on the south side,

represents David controlling a lion.

Under the lion we find a

fleur-de-lis pointing downwards. In

the symbolism of the capitals of the

Madeleine, the lily is very often

grouped with the lion. And it is

certainly not without reason.

The lion represents

male strength in alchemy and the lily is associated with

mercury. It is only after a hard

fight that the common mercury

combines with the sulfur to form, at

the end of the sublimations, this mercury.

philosophical, masterpiece of

nature and mother of our stone.

In the capital 2 of the narthex we

discover an identical theme.

But it is here Samson, whose

extraordinary strength resides in the long

hair, who defeats the lion,

thus bringing his share of

revelation to the level of science

that we are studying.

The holy bible tells us in

fact that: "Delilah put her

husband to sleep on his knees, called a

man and made him shave the seven

plaits of his head". And we

can say that it's good

too thanks to each of her seven

braids, harvested at the end of

each sublimation, that Mercury will

acquire all its vigor.

The demon and the dragon in Alchemy

Summary Continued
In the capital 8 of the narthex, we

discover the Lady and the dragon

as described in “the execution

of the decrees of the little open book”

of the Apocalypse of Saint John. From the

mouth of the dragon comes a river

intended to drown the woman. Here

we have more details on

how to open the little book. There

we must indeed drown the woman,

our primordial mother in order to

remove impurities and to

see him take, in each cycle,

more shine and beauty. And for

more details we will quote this

passage from Saint John: “A

woman wrapped in the sun, the

moon under her feet, her head

crowned with twelve stars was

pregnant and cried in the pains

of childbirth. Then a second

sign appeared in heaven: a great

red dragon with seven heads and ten

horns, and on the seven heads, seven

diadems. The dragon went in

pursuit of the woman who received the

two wings of the great eagle to fly

in the desert, a time, two times

and a half time. The serpent then

spits a

torrent of water against the woman to drown her ”.

In the capital 13 of the nave, we

discover a woman whose

snake gnaws at her belly and a

flaming haired demon who

kills herself by thrusting a sword

through her body. Between them a

fern shows

fruit

of poisonous appearance under its coils .

In alchemy, the demon and the dragon

have the same meaning. In

many ancient legends

of Asia and Europe, it is always

a dragon who is in charge of the

guard of the treasures. This is why it

is absolutely necessary to

silence this aggressive monster if we

then want to seize the

wealth it protects. And U.S

we find on this theme a

quantity of profane fables and

sacred allegories. It is Cadmos

piercing the serpent against an oak tree,

Saint Michael, Saint George and Saint

Marcel who slay the dragon,

Hercules who cuts the heads of

the hydra, Jason who kills the dragon of

Colchis. But here you will notice

that it is the dragon itself which

plunges the sword through the

body, thus carrying out one of the most

important operations of the work.

In marquee 22, it is a demon

with a puffy and twisted body, a

foul face and

flaming hair who caresses a

woman and tries to seduce her. We

let us also find the serpent coiled

at the foot of the demon. On the left, a

troubadour plays the flute and carries

another musical instrument

slung over his shoulder.

Alchemy is very often

designated, not without reason, the art of

music and it is very common to

meet on the homes

of alchemists, among other

hermetic emblems,

musicians and musical

instruments. Between the troubadour and the

devil, rises a strange plant

which blooms between two clusters,

on either side of a trunk, from which

the

snake's tail originates . The foot of the sole as well

that the clusters are made up of

strange fruits whose shape

recalls the circle and the central point,

symbol of the sun, but also of

our sulfur which must, during the

coction, unite with the mercury

symbolized here by the woman seduced

by the demon .

SAINT MARTIN

In the capital 23, Saint Martin

orders a group of

figures to cut down a

sacred oak tree . The figures are in

ferns and Saint Martin is

covered up to his knees. The

oak is here stylized in the shape of a

palm. History tells us that

Saint Martin, with a simple sign of the

cross, pushed back the tree which

fell on him.

Nowadays Saint Martin is

recognized as a great enemy

of the Druids and of Druidism, because he

prided himself on filling the

sacred sources , destroying the megaliths

and cutting down the sacred trees. But

we are entitled to affirm

that the initiate that was Saint Martin

placed himself on a much higher plane

and that he knew that the ash

of oak was essential to the

realization of the work and that it was

therefore necessary , symbolically, to cut down

the sacred tree. But he also knew

that the sign of the cross would allow

the tree to pass from one side to the other,

as

the story of Saint

Martin really tells us . Another detail demonstrates the

deep alchemical meaning of this

capital: it is a scallop shell

that we see hanging from

the tree, at the right end. The

shell here is the fruit of the tree and

it is ready to collect the holy water

which will allow Saint Martin

to make his sign of the cross.

BASIL

In marquee 51, we discover

Basil, this fabulous animal, born

from a rooster's egg incubated during

seven years by a toad and which,

according to legend, petrified with its

gaze those who did not protect

their sight by a glass globe.

On the basilisk which is actually a

winged dragon, a figure

sits naked. He wears the cap of the

magi and holds a

globe in his right hand . The top and the base of the

column are decorated with lilies.

The subject of this capital

teaches us that it is in a globe

or a glass vase that

our white stone must be developed,

during the wet phase of the work.

We can also relate the

fable of the Basilisk to mythology

who revealed to us that

Medusa turned to stone those

whose gaze met hers.

Medusa was also known under the

name of Gorgon, which name was

used to qualify Minerva, goddess

of wisdom, guardian of all

our knowledge, the sure guide of the

sincere seeker to whom she

discovers the secrets hidden in

nature.

In the Basilica of the Madeleine, the

twilight gradually decreases. The

tranquil flames of the candles

pierce the darkness of the

sanctuary with golden shards and invite us to

meditation. But our thoughts

fly to another past,

also rich in
secret teachings and mysteries just

waiting to be revealed.

So, follow us towards

new research and

discoveries, in other places ...

Continuation towards the castle of Bussy

Rabutin
Summary

The castle of Bussy Rabutin

About fifty kilometers

east of Vézelay, we invite you

to visit a castle lost at the bottom

of a small valley that nothing

distinguishes externally from the other

castles of Burgundy. But

inside you will discover

strange wall paintings

painted on wood, enhanced with

speech bubbles, which seem to come out of

the fertile and delirious imagination of

some unknown artist whose style

and subject do not relate to anything

known.

Summary Continued

If you already knew the importance that

Fulcanelli attributed to this kind of

banner that we see on

painted or sculpted images and which

bears inscriptions, your

attention would be awakened. Whether or

not it bears an epigraph, it suffices to find

the phylactery on any

subject to be sure that the image

contains a hidden meaning, a

secret meaning offered to the

researcher and marked by its simple

presence ... And, if you had

some rudiments of science,

you would have no difficulty in

recognizing the one that is hidden

behind this pictorial work which

adorns the room on the ground floor of the

castle of Bussy Rabutin and which

we are going, together, to discover.

Previous Next
The Author of the paintings

It would undoubtedly be interesting to

research the author of these paintings in

order to discover what personality

was hidden behind the owner of

this small Burgundian castle who

once devoted himself to the joys of a

secret research and bequeathed , in

memory of his works, this

original work.

Already Fulcanelli revealed to us the

true personality of a great

philosopher and powerful initiate whose

work, mutilated on purpose, was to

embrace the scope of all

science: Cyrano de Bergerac. And in

order to differentiate this hermetist

from the bombastic swashbuckling image

that

Edmond Rostand's play bequeathed to us,

Fulcanelli baptized him: by Cyrano

Bergerac. From a year his junior,

the owner of the castle was

named Roger, Comte de Bussy

Rabutin. In the service of the

French army , he participated in the

Flanders campaign where Cyrano was wounded

in 1640, during the siege of Arras.

Although we have no proof

formal, we like to imagine that

these two French philosophers and writers

of the same age, both

gentlemen and men

of spirit, knew each other

particularly well. And their

conversations

undoubtedly did not concern only

scandalous chronicles of the court, as

the appearance of the first writings of

Bussy Rabutin might

suggest. Disgraced and exiled to his

lands in Burgundy, he

undoubtedly had the time necessary to

put into practice the

teachings received and

pass on, through the

murals of his castle,

the secrets he had been able to unravel.

of a thousand-year-old science.

So follow us and

together decipher the secret messages

he sent us ...

Previous Next

Located above a small

fireplace, below the portrait

of a historical figure, a

first series of three paintings

catches the eye of the visitor and

intrigues by the inscriptions they

contain. The central painting

represents a hilly landscape

with a central mound that

spews purple lava on all

sides and bears the following inscription

: "The cause is hidden".

Summary Continued

Nowhere in nature do we

encounter such a phenomenon because there

is no doubt that the

pictorial representation is not

that of a volcano. Indeed, the jets

of matter do not come from a

single crater, but seem to

escape from all sides in a

spray of a sparkling red, without

any smoke, moreover.

What secret cause could

cause such a phenomenon?

Is it not this same cause which

makes Kamala-Jnana say, in “

How God created the universe”: “

Sometimes also some

worlds more incandescent than the

others manage to extirpate from their

bosom jets of molten lava. They

then project them into space

under the aspect of a rain of blood,

of lava, but on contact with a

less hot zone, this fire

turns into vapor, condenses and

falls on the dried up mass which

is tinted in the drinking ".

According to the genesis, the earth, in its

beginnings, was surrounded by

darkness and only on its surface

moved the spirit of God. The earth

represents, in our small

world, our "Materia prima" or

stone of the philosophers which should

not be confused with the

philosopher's stone . Then God said: "

Let there be light!" And there was light, and

God saw that the light was good

and God separated the light from the

darkness ”.

No doubt the artist wanted to

draw the attention of the researcher to

this capital phase of the work which

wants him to learn and know how to

extract from his primordial chaos his

"light of the wise", that is to say. to say

this material which rutile when

extracted from its blackish matrix by

an ingenious industry.

But let us go beyond the phase which

is presented to us here in order

to indicate to the researcher how

this light of the

sages presents itself after it is extracted,

projected out of the primordial chaos.

For that, let's borrow a new

passage to Kamala-Jnana: “As

matter cools,

the vapors condense and

fall back in large drops to

the earth. Soon, under these waters which

penetrate to the center of the

miniature worlds, the earth is

submerged, dissolved. The

solid corpuscles change into a

vase while the fiery water,

having drawn the quintessence of the

earthly trinity, floats above,

in the form of a reddish oil

fringed with gold. The artist will see that there are

two kinds of liquids ”. Kamala-

Jnana then provides

valuable information about the

superfluous that remains at the bottom of the

vase, after decanting one

of these liquids: “The artist will

collect in one place, in

a single well-stoppered container, the

precious liquid. Then when he has

cut off the head of his raven, he

will see his Adamic earth appear

in the form of very fine sand, very

black and very stinking ”.

Summary Continued

To the left of the central table, a

smaller

table represents a table covered with a

purple tablecloth fringed with gold. On this

table is an object whose

structure appears crystalline and

pyramidal. The motto of this painting

: "More solidity than shine".

Summary Continued

It seems that this table has

for object the march of the sun of the

wise men in the philosophical work.

We know that this walk,

as Fulcanelli taught it, is

regulated by this unknown crystal called

salt of wisdom, spirit or

incarnate fire . Now this crystal is here placed on

a table. We know, in the

tradition, the importance of the ancient

smaralgine table. It was

said to consist of two

columns of green marble and an

artificial emerald slab. This

famous table, which could well

have never existed

outside the imagination of the old

masters, was called emerald

of the philosophers, as well as the dew

of spring. The very name of

this material evokes the color

green and it is this straightforward color

that, according to Arnauld de

Villeneuve, gave it all the

epithets that rob the layman of

its true nature. It has been endowed,

he tells us, with the names of trees,

leaves, grasses, everything that

has a green color: "in

order to deceive fools".

Our emerald which received the name

of philosophical vitriol also received

that of oil of victory, and some,

deliberately playing on the assonance,

called it glass oil.

We warn the reader that there is

reason not to confuse the

color of the blade of grass which provides

its support for the spring dew,

with the color of our chaos, from

which our heavenly dew rises.

We also invite him to reflect on the

reasons which led the

philosopher to cover the table with a

purple tablecloth fringed with gold and

not green, as tradition would have

required.

Summary Previous Next

The painting on the right represents a

table covered with a green tablecloth,

fringed with gold, on which rests

a watch connected to a key by a

twisted cord. We do

not repeat the explanations

we have to provide

about the table and the reasons that

drove the artist to cover it

this time with a green velvet, but

we go by against trying

to deepen symbolic meaning to

the watch and key.

Summary Continued

Symbol identical to that of

the clock, the watch is used to measure

time. Taken for the hieroglyph of

time, it is thus regarded

as the main emblem of

old Saturn. It is indeed thanks

to time that the light will be, little by

little, dispensed. Also is this the

This is why

time is the sole master of wisdom,

in the guise of old men or

weary and tired philosophers. The very name

of Saturn reveals a

capital secret , because it also designates the

major key to great art, this

universal period of which it specifies the quality,

at the same time as the

dark matter and the primordial nature.

Thus are found united these two

symbols to specify the

secret links which bind the two mercury

essential to the realization of the

great work.

Nicolas Valois reveals to us that "

our divine water is called the key,

light, Diana, which enshrines in

the spider of the night, because it is

the entrance to all the work and the one that

illuminates every man ”. The ancients

used to write down

the names of “key” and “

column of the work” for their mercury . For it is in

this that the elements

come together in their

proper proportion and natural quality.

It is from him that everything comes because

only he has the power to dissolve and

mortify bodies. But they

also gave the name of "key"

to any liquid and period suitable for

carrying out the dissolution of a base.

Thus the philosophical vitriol also

borrowed its symbol from

that of a key, the only one capable

of opening the secret entrance to the temple.

In Cyliani's "Hermes unveiled",

the celestial nymph who shows him the

way slips into his pocket, like

Medea, a

corked jar containing the liquor

necessary to destroy the closure

of the temple where two sacred vessels

are guarded by a dragon.

In "The key to the

hermetic cabinet ", an anonymous

eighteenth century author writes on this subject

: "If you let this

water flow, you will see with your own

eyes the shining gold in its first

being, with all the colors. of

the rainbow ”.

And we would not like to omit

to quote Basil Valentine who, in "

the twelve keys of philosophy",

gives us precious

information on the use of the key

: "the king traverses six cities in the

celestial firmament and fixes his

abode in the sky. seventh, for the

palace of the kings there is adorned

with a golden carpet. If you

now understand what I am saying, then you

opened the first

door with this key and you crossed the obstacle of the

lock ”.
So here we are, from the start,

thanks to this surprising set which

adorns the fireplace, at the very heart

of the alchemical problem. And if it rained

to the philosopher to submit these

enigmas to our sagacity, it is to

reveal to us the

secret characteristics of the principal matters

which enter in the realization of the

great alchemical work.

Fulcanelli certifies, with the best

authors, “that two bodies are enough

to accomplish the magisterium, from

beginning to end. If we have to

admit a third, we

will find it in that which results from

their assembly and is born from their

reciprocal destruction. Because you may

search, multiply the

tests, you will never find

other relatives of the stone than the

two aforementioned bodies, qualified

principles, from which comes the

third, heir to the

mixed qualities and virtues of his

parents ”. So find the sulfur

and the mercury of the philosophers, the

salt or sperm of nature being

included in one of them. Unite them

under the veil of darkness and

sublimate several times in order to

extract our divine water, mother of

our hermetic twins and

major key to the great work.

Summary Previous Next

When you enter the room of the

alchemical paintings, the first

painting on the right represents a

clearing in the center of which is

a pile of

white matter. Out of the cloud,

a hand carries a

metal pitcher and pours its

liquid content onto this material which we

identify with lime thanks to the

phylactery which reveals to us: "it

is cold, but it ignites me".

Quicklime has the property

of releasing a large amount of

heat on contact with water.

Summary Continuation

Undoubtedly the artist had had

the opportunity to read the “twelve keys

of philosophy” by Basile

Valentin, in the French edition produced

in 1624 by Jérémie and

Christophe Périer. The

alchemist philosopher does indeed speak

abundantly of this material: “

By itself, the salt of tartar sets

firmly, especially if the

heat of the quicklime is

incorporated into it. Both, in fact,

have a rare degree to

fix ... With stones and by

fire, the craftsman also prepares the lime,

so that it is suitable for work,

but before it be prepared by

fire, it is stone and, instead of

lime, cannot be applied at

work. By fire, this stone is

ripened, and by fire

greatly increases its degree of

heat, until it is

powerful and, by the igneous spirit of

lime, on condition that it is brought

to perfection, nothing,

hardly, can be compared to it ”.

Basil Valentin teaches us in

this last quotation, a

very

important operational process in the realization of the

great work and it even provides

valuable information, as to the very

result of this process: "

If any thing is reduced

to ashes and treated according to the art,

of itself it delivers its salt.

Provided that in the dissection

of this salt, you can keep

the sulfur and the mercury separately,

and again restore them in

their salt, according to the requirements of art, this

salt can then become, by the

benefit of fire, what it had been

before its destruction and

dissection ”.

But if you want to complete

the secret teaching on the spirit of

quicklime, I

strongly advise you to also read

"the last testament" from the same author, and

if you find it too difficult to

read such a book, go

directly to the last pages

which summarize, under the veil of the

symbol, all the

secret manufacture of this spirit of lime.

If your perseverance has

enabled you to discover what are

these spirits of wine and quicklime,

if you have succeeded in the operations

defined by Basil Valentin in this

chapter, then achieved the oh so

difficult separation of these two

spirits, according to the method indicated

: "you set fire to it and the spirit

of wine alone will ignite, burn and be

consumed. But the spirit of

quicklime will remain in the

glass vessel ”. You will then be in

possession of: "an arcane that few

others overcome in excellence,

if you know how to use it well." This spirit

of quicklime has so many virtues and

properties that it would be impossible

to describe them ... "

Summary Previous Next

The following painting represents a

nocturnal landscape lit by a

humanized, full and jovial moon, and

bears the Latin inscription which means,

in its French translation: "its

clarity invites to rest". Any son of

science, even in his beginnings, knows

that the moon is representative of

its mercury. It is therefore during

the work of this subject that he

must apply the advice given here.

Summary Continuation

It is during the sublimations that

the metallic light is

separated from the coarse and

bodily opacity which enveloped it. Our

mercury then gains the surface of

the brewed substance and its

own qualities , aerial and volatile, then

allow it to shine

above the darkness. The operation

thus performed, the operator can,

following the advice of our

philosopher, "enter into rest

". However, he must know that the

rest is temporary and that he will have to

repeat the operation that some

philosophers called "their

eagles". Philalhète affirms that the

fifth eagle resolves the moon and

that it is necessary to use

from seven to nine to achieve the

characteristic splendor of the sun.

Let the student not forget that the

light was separated from darkness on the

first day of creation and that

the following days were determined,

like ours, by

regular and alternating intervals

of darkness and light. Then God

rested on the seventh day.

Summary Previous Next

The table we are studying

now has some

analogies with the one representing

the lime heap. But

this time the red of the material has

replaced the white and the water jug

has disappeared. The motto "give me

the shine and I will give you the

material" relates to this

essential and primordial phase that

the artist must discover: that

of the transformation of mercury into

red sulfur.

Summary Previous Next

The knack is

essential here . Until

the artist has acquired it, the time is

long with endlessly

renewed efforts , repeated attempts which,

more often than not, only lead to

the inexpressible waste of a disappointing

quagmire, apparently inevitable.

Knowledge of temperature

must complement knowledge of materials and

time. But beyond the

parameters that only a

diligent, patient and repeated work can

allow to discover, still

is it necessary to ensure

the effective assistance of our

secret catalyst.

The following table presents

an image very often used in

alchemy, that of the Phoenix which enjoys,

according to legend, the

extreme privilege of being reborn from its

ashes. Here, the artist paints the beautiful

bird with majestically

spread wings , in the center of its

flaming pyre , with the motto: "

To die so as not to die".

Summary Continued

Motto oh so contradictory if

it were not applied to the science which

concerns us. It is through death

that our stone can indeed be

reborn, more powerful than it

was previously. And if she does not

go through this

essential phase , she will never be able to

reach the goal set by her destiny.

So this is the reason why

all philosophers insist so much

on the absolute necessity of

material death . Fulcanelli tells us this

with great insistence: "

it is indeed through her that the

imperishable spirit and always active,

stirs, sifts, cleanses and purifies the

body". What a pity that his

third work "The End of the

Glory of the World" was never

published because it would

undoubtedly have revealed some precious

information on one of the aspects of

death by fire that

the image of our phoenix reminds us of, in

addition to death by water

that he explained, however, in

great detail.

And if

this recent work comes into your hands which usurps this

title, forget it quickly, as well as its

author who reveals more talent

in the art of mystification than

in the art of Alchemy.

Dissolution, called death by the

old authors, asserts itself as the

first and most important

of the work's operations, that which

the artist must strive to achieve

before any other. But death by

the fire, symbolized by our phoenix

is an equally important key.

For it is said that "the heavens and the

earth from now are guarded with

care by the same word, and are

reserved to be burned with fire

in the day of judgment and of the ruin

of the wicked ... Now as a thief

cometh during the night, also the day of the

Lord will come suddenly. And

then, in the sound of a terrible

storm, the heavens will pass, the

fiery elements will dissolve,

and the earth will be burned with all that

it contains ... For we

await, according to the promise,

new heavens and a new

land, in which righteousness will

dwell ”.

In order to perfect your knowledge

of the hermetic bird, we

invite you to discover the writings of

several authors reported in the

“philosophical residences”. You

will discover there this allegorical story

that Cyrano Bergerac made in this

wonderful language of birds

that he possessed so well and of which we

find the very imprint on the

painting by Bussy Rabutin.

Our study does not follow the order in which

the tables are arranged in the

room. If the student wishes to discover

with his own eyes

the scheduling of this work if

secret, he has hardly any efforts to make

because the castle of Bussy Rabutin,

located in a small village of

Burgundy of the same name, a

few kilometers from “Les

Laumes”, not far from Montbard,

is open to all those who

wish to find out. Our study will

remain voluntarily

fragmented, because it is thus

possible for us to transmit much

more information. Those who have already

taken the trouble to acquire the

rudiments necessary for the study of

holy science, will

be able to discover through our writings

and the paintings of Bussy Rabutin

the milestones which will allow them to

progress.

Summary Previous Next

The painting we are studying

now represents a feline with a

coat dyed red and dotted

with white stars. But the

strangest thing is that this feline has found

refuge on a cloud overlooking

a rugged landscape. In general, the

feline, the lion in particular, is the

hieroglyph of sulfur which itself

shows the principle of

fixity and coagulation.

Summary Continuation

We draw the

researcher's attention to the fact that this

denomination of gold, both

alchemical and natural, can be

given to the receptive matter of the

secret fire in the elaboration of the

remover.

The red lion is the only one represented

on our symbolic table, but

Basil Valentin informs us that it

is none other than the same material

or green lion, brought by certain

processes to this special quality which

characterizes the hermetic gold. It is

therefore not without interest to find out

what

this famous green lion is in our little world . The

Cosmopolitan provides us with

excellent information on the subject:

“There is this one green lion who closes and

opens the seven indissoluble seals

of the seven metallic spirits and who

torments the bodies until he

has fully perfected them,

by means
of the artist's long and firm patience ”.

But the best precision is

given to us by Fulcanelli who reveals

the origin of the green lion, it is: "the

substance which, during the

sublimations, rises above

the water which it floats like an

oil" . Some, and Basil Valentin

is one of these, also called it

green vitriol, others, emerald of the

philosophers and dew of May. Its

manufacture is taught under the

struggle of the eagle and the dragon and itself is

used in the elaboration of the

famous alkaest. The red lion will be born

in the same way as the green lion.

It is therefore not without relevant

reasons that our hermetist has

placed the royal feline on a cloud.

The stars that adorn the entire coat

of the animal are inscribed in a

circle. We can therefore

interpret the table in various

ways. The whole could first

of all be representative of the

multiplications. It is indeed by

a series of firing with sulfur

or philosophical gold, generally

symbolized by a circle, with or

without a central point, that the lion

acquires its power of

transmutation. But we can

also interpret it by the very meaning

of the star that we are going

now study through a

new table.

Summary Previous Next

This new painting represents a

night sky studded

with five-pointed stars and on which we

can read: “whatever the

number, if one is missing”.

The star is the great sign of

the work and Basil Valentin

affirms it to us in the twelve keys of

philosophy: “two stars have been

granted to man by the Gods

to lead him to great

wisdom; observe them, oh man!

And follow their clarity with constancy,

since in it is wisdom

.

Canseliet warns us that the

hermetic star is first of all admired

in the mirror of art or mercury,

before being discovered in the

chemical sky where it illuminates in an

infinitely more discreet way.

No doubt it would be useful to

find out what the philosophers

mean by their chemical sky, in

order to then search for the star,

shining in the middle of the night.

For this,

let us listen to Jacobus Tollius: “It is necessary to know that the sky and

philosopher's land and his heaven of the wise are

”.

The work of art consists in

everting this sky until it is

clothed with the sign indicated. And this sign,

the old authors called it seal

of Hermes, salt of the wise men, and also

star of the Magi and polar star.

We can attest to the reality of

the star which presents

particular characteristics of which

we have had the opportunity to

discover authentic

reproductions through the

Pierre. And remember that our star was

used as a prototype for the

construction of the rosettes of our

Gothic cathedrals.
Few of the authors have

spoken of the visual reality of the

hermetic seal . Thus Trismosin, in

an allegorical account concerning the

preparation of mercury, tells us "

At the dawn of the day,

very resplendent star is emptied over the person of the king and the

light of day illuminated the darkness

".

Philalète himself recommends to

the student not to despise the

astral signature, revealing of the

prepared mercury. Nicolas Rollin,

Grand Chancellor of Burgundy,

did not hesitate to

clearly proclaim the preeminence of the star

of great art. This by a

concise rebus , but not without important

revelation, widely distributed

in the hospital that he had built in

Beaune.

Already, during our study on

Vézelay, we had mentioned

the importance of the pilgrimage of Saint

Jacques de Compostelle. However, the

best origin that can be

given to the word Compostela is

undoubtedly "the sole master of

the star". To become master of

the star is indeed to know the

material, it is to have a guide

sure, in order to guide his steps in the

powdery sand of an arid desert.

Limojon de Saint Didier tells us:

"our practice is a path

in the sands, where you have to

drive by the north

starter , rather than by the remains that you

see printed there".

The star, in the great

alchemical work , plays a role of such

importance that the

star figure and shape are inseparable from the

operations, during the execution,

but also after the cooling

of the materials collected at the end of

each. phases of labor.

Also our artist was able to adorn

his painting with the motto which gives

all its importance to the single

alchemical star, the sign par

excellence, the one which surrounds the head

of Christ in glory on the porch of the

basilica of Vézelay, which designates and

seals the mineral reducer. And

don't forget: “In hoc signo

vinces”. Canseliet, by asking

that this "cry

" worthy of appearing on the most beautiful

coat of arms dedicated to Holy Science, as

well as the accompanying sign,

be engraved on his tomb , revealed the importance he

attached to perfect knowledge.

of the star.

The painting we are studying

now represents a beehive

of bees placed on an enormous

stone and bears the motto: "

sweetness is natural to me and bitterness

foreign". The hive,

Fulcanelli tells us , owes the privilege of representing

the stone of the philosophers to this

cabalistic artifice which makes the

hive drift from rock, by permutation of

vowels. And our artist knew,

without a doubt, that it was

so. Usually,

Kamala-Jnana tells us , the sacred rock of the

sages is their red stone.

But there are many authors

who, allegorically comparing their

primordial mining with the rock

of Moses, allude to their

raw material from which their "

water that does not wet the hands" comes out.

They tell us that the

entire work is a labor of Hercules and

that we must begin by striking the

stone, rock or beehive, with the

magic sword of the secret fire in order to

determine the flow of this

precious water that it contains

within it.
Summary Continuation

You should know that our rock,

often veiled under the figure of the

dragon, first lets a

dark, stinking and poisonous wave flow ,

the thick and volatile smoke of which

is extremely toxic. This

water is symbolized by the crow and

must be washed and bleached by

means of fire.

"I would pity you a lot, wrote

Limojon de Saint Didier if, like

me, after having known the real

matter, you spent fifteen

years entirely in work,

in study and in meditation,

without being able to extract from the stone the

precious juice which 'it contains in

its bosom, for lack of knowing the

secret fire of the wise men which makes flow from

this

apparently dry and arid plant a water which does

not wet the hands ”. So it is

important to look for that

sword, hieroglyph of fire, salt or

spirit that originates in a

stable, a rock hollow, a

cave ... Many traditions

speak of this famous sword that you

have to know how to extract from the rock in order

to be the lucky one. Young Arthur

succeeded in extracting the

famous Escalibur sword from the rock and became king

thanks to a feat that no one

before him had achieved. Moses in

the land of Midian had the opportunity to

demonstrate his strength.

Jethro, who held him prisoner,

subjected the

pretenders to the hand of his daughter,

Zipporah , to a terrible test . This test consisted in

tearing a stick of sapphire planted

in the garden and which bore the name

of God "Saboath". No

suitor succeeds in performing

this feat. Moses succeeded,

snatched it easily, and Jethro

gave him his daughter in marriage. Go to

Rocamadour, a high place of

pilgrimage dedicated to the black virgin, and

you will find near the basilica,

planted in the rock, the famous

Durandal which once belonged to

Roland ...

Also know that this sword has the

power to penetrate, to mortify and

change the ownership of things.

It is this, according to Philalhète, which

causes all the

metamorphoses within the

compound, that it is of

metallic essence and of sulphurous origin.

It is recognized as a mineral because it

arises from the first

mercury substance , the sole source of

metals, sulphurous because this fire,

in the extraction of

metallic sulfur , has taken on the qualities of the father

of metals.

No doubt Bussy Rabutin had read

the fables of La Fontaine, his youngest

of three years, when he painted this

country picture where we see in the

foreground a reed of a beautiful

brown color which bends under the effect

of an invisible zephyr and bears the

motto: “I fold and do not break

”. We believe that the artist had

the idea to use the symbol of the reed

(or "water of the dew", in the

language of the birds), because its very

name evokes that of the

dew of spring. The Mutus Liber,

this book so prized by alchemists

popularized this dew, suggesting

that it was necessary to collect this

spring water for the realization

of the operations of the great work.

Summary Continued

This is what

a certain number of

beginners hasten to do, who attribute to it

qualities that we know it

lacks. The dew of the wise, in

fact, is salt and not water. Many

philosophers declare

that it is green and that it is the

proper coloring of this water which is

used to designate our subject. But

without focusing too much on color, it

would undoubtedly be useful for the student

to research the secret reasons

which led certain

Rosicrucian alchemists of the 17th century to

call themselves "the brothers

of the baked dew". Philalhète, for

his part, prescribed to wash the

mercury several times,

so as to make it lose part of

its oily nature. He describes this

operation carefully, indicating

that it is accomplished with

celestial water brought to a certain

temperature, moderate nevertheless,

because it would take a little too much

heat so that the igneous part of the

"flos-coeli" does not resume the path

of the stars. Already, at the time of

Bussy Rabutin, JB Van Helmont

had carried out, in his laboratory

in Vilvoorde, near Brussels, in

1618, the metallic transmutation.

He writes on this subject: "I am obliged

to believe that the aurific and

argentific stone exists, because on three

separate occasions, I made with my

hand the projection of a grain of

powder on a few thousand grains of

quicksilver. overheated ”. In his

Ortus Medicinae he also writes: "I

was completely taught by fire

that dew is assuredly rich

in a sweet and pleasant juice ”.

Harvested in abundance, the dew

will lift Cyrano to the Mount of

Magnesia. Separating his ascent

into two phases, he then insisted on

the mercurial dew, but also on

the igneous artifice which, as

Bussy Rabutin translates to us on the

table, with the reed, or water of the

dew, to bend without however

to break up.

"More iris than she" is the motto

of a painting which represents a

magnificent rainbow whose

in "Hermès unveiled",

tells us that it is in the degree of

Jupiter that we see the

colors of the rainbow appear .

Kamala-Jnana, in his

dictionary of

alchemical philosophy , tells us about

the phenomenon which iridescent the

upper part of the bottle at the last

stage of putrefaction. There is

such a variety of colors, he says, that

their sight is reminiscent of the shimmer

of a peacock's tail or a

magnificent firework display.

But the one that allows us to

best situate the phase of which the

philosophers speak is undoubtedly

Nicolas Flamel who, in the

hieroglyphic figures , tells us: “when

you have bleached, you will have conquered the

enchanted bulls. What remains

is without difficulty, but remember that

before completely leaving the

darkness and turning white, the stone will be

dressed in all the colors that you can

imagine; often it will

liquefy itself and often

coagulate, it will turn orange,

green, red, not a

perfect red , and yellow, turn

orange- white , until being

overcome by drought and

heat all these colors

end in orange whiteness ”.

Some authors, Kamala-

Jnana tells us , have placed the peacock's tail

at the moment when the yellow stone undergoes

the last imbibitions with the

blood of the dragon. According to him this is

a mistake, but the image remains

defensible.

This painting represents a sort of

vase tapered in the direction of the

magic in a clear sky, above

a darker landscape. From the vase

springs a luminous liquor of a

very vivid red which falls in a

sparkling spray over the entire

landscape. The phylactery bears

the following inscription: "Da Lardore

Lardire".

Summary Continued

This painting is revealed to us

as a true masterpiece

of hermetic art. It is the proof,

beyond the centuries, that the one who

imagined it was a true

philosopher by fire and that he had

known how to recognize in a concrete

and practical way a large part of

the alchemical work. Certainly, we are

not sure that he

reached the ultimate realization, but

we know that he had acquired

knowledge that only

repeated, assiduous and persevering work

with the athanor or

philosophical furnace could have provided him.

Not having had any training

Classical and Latin revealing to

us a language that is difficult to

access, we one day had

the idea of submitting this sentence to

a distinguished linguist who

revealed to us that if we took care

not to take into account the two L's

placed in front of each words

ardor and ardire, the whole could

be translated as "gives to burn with

fire".

Fire, in symbolic language,

perhaps representative of a certain

number of elements and it is

essential, so that we

can recognize it, that a

qualifier accompanies it.

So natural fire represents this

which the masters of the art call

sulfur or the vital spirit hidden in the

homogeneous portion of the

metallic substance . It is, according to Limojon de

Saint Didier, “the great mystery of

art, since all the others

depend on the intelligence of

this one”. That I would be satisfied,

adds the author, “if I were

permitted to explain this

unequivocal secret to you ; but I cannot

do what no philosopher has believed to

be in his power. All

you can reasonably

expect from me is to tell yourself

that natural fire is

potential fire , which does not burn

hands, but which shows its

effectiveness as long as it is excited

by the external fire ”.

The secret fire or Lunatic Vulcan,

sometimes qualified as unnatural,

emerges, Canseliet tells us, by

the action of elementary fire during

the work and is hidden

inside a saline body that

the artist prepares himself. even with the help

of foreign materials,

momentary servants of the worker. This

secret fire is the active agent introduced by

art into the mineral seed and

it is he, says Philalhète, who is

the first to turn the axle and

move the wheel.

But in order to allow you to

discover what certain

philosophers mean by their

secret fire , read or re-read the “legend

of the green candles” that

Fulcanelli reports in “the

philosophical homes ”. This legend

contains, behind the

allegorical veil , all the description of the

work necessary "for the extraction of the

secret fire in the form of

translucent crystal , green, fusible like

wax and which the wise call

their vitriol".

Finally, our unnatural fire, that

of our homes, is the

external animator of the other two. It is

also our wheel light, which,

on pain of a stop causing the

resulting loss of materials, can

not cease its

action for a single moment . An excess of fire spoils everything,

but the complete extinction of the hearth

causes the irreparable loss of the

contents. "Gold resolves once in

spirit, if it feels cold, is lost with

all the work", such is the

hermetic axiom reported by Linthaut.

But what can be the

temperature of the external fire

suitable for the realization of the great

work? Some philosophers

suggest that it is

necessary to start

around 50 ° with a

gradual increase up to

300 °. Others, and Philalhète is

among them, assure that "the degree

of heat will be able to hold lead or

tin in fusion", temperatures

which are located for one

around 320 ° and for the other of

230 °.

Of these three fires, which did our

philosopher strive to

conceal, since apparently

no qualifier has come to

emphasize it? No doubt one should

look in the expression of these

two letters L added to the motto,

certainly not without a relevant

reason.

This painting represents a mermaid with

the head and trunk of a woman, without

upper limbs, with breasts

young and small, which rises

out of the liquid element in which

bathes the lower part, in the form

of a fish. "She attracts to

lose me " underlines the motto,

according to the legend.

The mermaid, fabulous monster and

hermetic symbol, serves to

characterize the union of the

nascent sulfur , which is our fish and

the common mercury, called virgin

in the philosophical mercury or

salt of wisdom.
Summary Continued

"The fish," Fulcanelli tells us, "

represents the stone of the philosophers

in its first state, because the

stone, like the fish, is born

water and lives in water ”. This famous

fish which swims in our

philosophical sea , according to the expression of the

Cosmopolitan, is also called

echeneis. It is the bear cub, the little

bear, constellation in which

the polar star is located. The famous

Cosmopolitan Island and the

mythical land of Delos, animated by

gyrating movements and subjected

to continual movements, is,

according to Fulcanelli, "just another

figure of the hermetic fish born from

the sea of the wise, the fish of

the work, first solid state of the

embryonic stone ... This is

the most delicate phase, where the premium

coagulation of the smooth

and light stone appears on the surface and floats

on the water ... Gradually and

under the action of the internal fire, the

film develops, thickens,

gains in extent until it covers the

entire surface of the mass

fondue. The moving island is then

fixed and this spectacle gives

the alchemist the assurance that the

time for Latona's childbirth has

arrived ”.

We have put together some

scattered quotes that flow together

perfectly and that sum up the

birth of our fish. But in

order to leave it to

sincere seekers to exercise their

our own sagacity, we will not go further

and will leave it to them to

discover moreover the cooking of

this fish and the secret process which

allows it to be united with our mercury in

order to realize this mythical being that

is the mermaid.

The painting that we are studying

now represents a field

of walled wheat under a stormy sky which

allows the luminous flux of

the solar rays to pierce through and which tells us: "it

gathers to spread". The

ancients often referred to

alchemy as

celestial agriculture, and many authors

take their examples or their

demonstrations on

field work . So it is not

surprising that our philosopher

did the same.

All art, we are told, boils down to

discovering the seed, sulfur or

metal core, throwing it into

a specific earth or mercury,

then subjecting these elements to

fire, according to a regime of four

increasing temperatures which

constitute the four seasons of

the work. The delicate point, the pivot of

art, according to Philalhète, consists in

knowing how to extract

the first seed from the metal or mineral and he

adds "whoever does not know how

to destroy metals,

also ignores that of

perfecting them ”.

Summary Continuation

Fulcanelli, for his part, warns the

true disciples of Hermes that any

seed capable of germinating, growing

and fruiting, demands an

attractive land where it can find the

elements appropriate to its species

and its nature and he specifies " it is

from the mineral kingdom that he will have to

ask for it ”. That they

also apply , he tells us, to purify the

mercury and to exalt its faculties,

like the peasant who increases the

fertility of the humus by aerating it

frequently, by incorporating in it the

necessary organic products. .

Other philosophers speak of their

"manure". For, just as

this provides the earth with the

nutrients essential for the

development and

growth of plants,

so sulfur and mercury, in

our heavenly agriculture,

also need substances that will

bring them help. effective and

will play towards them the role assured

by fertilizers with regard to

plants.

But perhaps we could

also, in relation with this table,

while remaining at the level of

celestial agriculture, speak of the three

mineral actors of the great work

: earth, salt and sun. The earth

is also our raw material,

the base and the foundation of

alchemical labor . Our earth must

join the rays of the sun so that

from their union are born the fruits

represented in our image by the

field of ripe wheat. We must

produce a true generation

within the

philosophical materials and we must therefore, of

all necessity, the help of nature

and this would be refused to us if, through

misfortune or ignorance, we did not

put it in a position to apply its

laws. The adept Altus, in his

silent book , shows us the firmament

starry, thus reminding us of the night

proper to generation and to life.

Summary Previous Next

This painting represents a

magnificent flowering tree, healthy and

vigorous and the Latin motto, in

its translation, informs us "the

sweets are hidden under the

coarse fabrics". The

prudent artist must indeed, throughout

the work, apply

this motto and learn not to

judge things according

to their appearance. It is very

often under the most vile fabrics

that one discovers the

noblest beings .

Contents Continued

But first we will,

before commenting in more detail on

this important advice, remind you

what represents, in our small

world, the symbol of the tree and in

particular that most frequently used

in

alchemical iconography , the oak.

The Trevisan describes the

mysterious fountain to us in the final parable

of his book on the

natural philosophy of metals: "the stream

of living water bubbling from the

old hollow oak tree and the happy

artist can then let his

joy burst forth, for he has hit the goal. He can

watch the limpid spring undulating,

whose dissolving virtue and

the volatile essence are, in general,

attested by a bird perched

in the tree ”.

In the descriptions which

accompany the

symbolic figures of Abraham the Jew, the

good Nicolas Flamel does not omit to

speak of this famous

mysterious fountain which springs from the old

hollow oak: "is depicted and

represented a garden enclosed by hayes,

where there is several quarreaux. In the

middle there is an old hollow of oak,

at the foot of which, beside it, is a

rosebush with gold leaves and

white and red roses , which surround the

said chesne to the top, close

to its branches. And at the foot of said

hollow oak bubbles a

fountain clere like silver, which

is lost in the ground ... ”.

Fulcanelli informs us about the

need for this hollow oak because,

he says: “it marks the barrel which

is made of oak wood and in

which it is necessary to corrupt the water

reserved for watering the plants and

which is much better than water. flood

”. And he adds: “without this vessel,

you will not be able to do this

putrefaction and purification of our

elements, just as one can

not make wine without it having

boiled in the barrel. Now, as

the barrel is made of

oak wood , so the vessel must

be made of old oak wood, turned

in a circle, like a

half-globe, the edges of which are

very thick in a square ”.

The oak has very often been taken

by the old authors to designate

the vulgar name of the initial subject, such as

one meets it in the mine.

Others used the fig tree which,

according to the Gospels, had the honor

of sheltering the holy family during its

flight to Egypt, of nourishing it with its

fruits and of quenching its thirst, thanks to

the clear and fresh water that Jesus

child made spring between its roots.

Still others symbolized the

date and palm trees, trees of the

same family, known as the

phoenix.

The artist reveals to us that the precious

liquid must be discovered under "

coarse cloth". It

thus provides an important indication which

recalls this pretty tale of Perrault where

the beautiful princess hides under the

skin of a donkey. Under the miserable

remains in which she dresses, she

also offers herself as a strange

personification of the first

material that you have to know how to discover

under its vile and coarse fabric.

This water from the fountain, revealed

by this beautiful princess, will

later make it possible to discover other

sweets hidden under fabrics

blacker still. It will

thus manifest the radiance and the beauty of the

secret sulfur or young king, in a

new color, revealing of its

perfect purification.

Here is a table and a motto of the

most original. A snail drags

its slowness under a clear

blue sky . In general, our

gastropod prefers walking

in the rain. No doubt the artist

had in mind only the single image

of the snail which proclaims: "I

am entering into myself".

Summary Continued

Although we have never

encountered

such a symbol in alchemical literature , it is

easy to interpret the image that

our alchemist

has transmitted to us over the centuries

. The shell of

the snail can be considered

as the refuge, the asylum of

protection of the animal, that is to say

the equivalent in our small world

of this mining which serves as a place

of shelter for our first material,

volatile and solvent, which we

call mercury. We can

also make this other connection

with the scallop shell which has

always been considered

the consecrated receptacle of

alchemical water and which

philosophers call Mérelle,

which etymologically means: "

mother of light ”.

Our water finds its perfect

replica in the holy water of the

churches that religious esotericism

sometimes offers to Catholics in

huge shells serving as

holy water fonts and, in order to prove

how far this

secret teaching could hide , we

will quote the translation litanies of

Loreto reported by Canseliet

in "two alchemical dwellings": "

Fleece of Gideon, watered by the

dew of the sky. And having risen at

night, with pressed fleece, he filled

a shell with dew ”.

The snail is also revealing by

its very image of this slowness

specific to the animal. He teaches us

that we need to be

very patient and give

time its rightful place. However,

time has always been represented

by Saturn which is also called

the black dragon in hermetic.

Fulcanelli, in “the mystery of the

cathedrals”, reminds us that the

hieroglyph of Saturn, considered

as a solvent, is very old

and that, according to legend, it was

supposed to devour its children.

In order to help the researcher to decipher

the messages transmitted by those

who, before us, have traveled this

rough path of

alchemical research , we will point out that the

Saturn of the Wise is an

anagrammatic denomination of

natures, which can be useful in

finding out what matter is

behind that famous vase we

talked about at the start of our

work as a solvent.

But in order to clarify what certain

philosophers understand by their

Saturn which they have also veiled under

the expressions of black

sulfur , sulfur of nature, laton, brass,

raven, venus, we will quote the

advice reported by Canseliet in

the preface of “residences”.

philosophales ":" however,

apart from the black

supernatant, since it is the oil and the

true sign of the dissolution, because

what is dissolved reaches the

highest, from where one separates from

lower things what rises and

which seeks to reach other

places, like a body of gold. On the other

hand, keep it with precaution, so

that it does not go up in smoke ”.

“You should know that this sulfur

contains the greatest

and rarest virtues . Philosophers

have always considered it a

gift from heaven and affirm that it is very

difficult to recognize in this

disinherited magma, repellent in appearance,

the true Gift of God which

transforms the simple alchemist into

wise and the philosopher as a

proven follower ”.

Before closing this chapter, we

will make a remark which will be very

useful to the researcher and may have

prompted our alchemist to choose this

unusual symbol: the snail

spends the winter retracted in its

shell, the opening of which it closes by

stretching out hardened slime blades.

Then, in the spring, when the

beautiful days are back and

the gentle dew weaves

the young

spring shoots with golden pearls and clings to the threads

of the virgin, he breaks this shell

that protected him to be reborn to the

joys of a new one. activity cycle.

Perhaps you will make the

connection with our phoenix

which we often spoke about.

But each of the images has its place

and turns out to be a source of teaching

for the discerning and

hard-working researcher .

Summary Continued

This is a double table which we

will now undertake

to study. Each represents a

huge lily in the center of a French garden

, against a background of hills. In

the first painting, the lily draws its

vigor from a clear, sunny sky and

proclaims: "its sight gives me

life". On the second painting, the lily,

all withered from the absence of the sun,

tells us: "his absence is killing me."

The heraldic fleur-de-lis has always

corresponded, in the science

we are studying, to the

hermetic rose . Both of

these symbols, attached to the cross,

serve as signs or coats of arms

for practicing knights who,

by divine grace, made the

Philosopher's Stone . Our lily represents

the moon which receives the rays of the sun

and keeps them secretly

within it. She is the dispenser of the

passive substance that the

solar spirit comes to animate. So it is

not surprising that our artist was

able to make speak the flower of the great

work.

Fulcanelli speaks of “this first

rose, black in truth, which has

remained here below like a

particle of elementary chaos.

It is from it, this flower of flowers,

that we draw our hoarfrost

, which is the spirit that

moves on the waters and the

white face of the angels. It is also the

mirror of art, the torch, the lamp

or the lantern ”. Basil Valentin,

for his part, speaks, in “the twelve

keys of philosophy”, of this

other sublime and admirable flower: “

it is the rose of our masters,

purple in color, and the red blood

of the dragon. It is also the

purple mantle, extremely

leafy in our art, by which the

queen of salvation is covered and from

which all poor metals,

by heat, can be enriched

”.

Our queen is also represented by the

virgin mother, personification of the

primitive substance which is

also called the mystical rose,

among other names such

as: symbolic honey, the fleece

of Gideon, the gate of heaven, the

house of gold ...

And to finish the study of these

two tables, we will

draw the researcher's attention to the

relation that there may be between the

first rose and the celestial

spring water . Saint Exupéry writes,

in "the Little Prince", a sentence

which contains an alchemical meaning that

the author may not have wanted,

but which is very deep: "And yet

what men are

looking for could be found

in a single rose or a little

water ”. It is true that between the rose

and the water there is a marriage of love of

which the child is the dew.

We now undertake

the study of the 19th table. He will

end our work on the

teachings that

Count Bussy

de Rabutin, who was a great and

true initiate, kindly transmitted to us . Some paintings

will not appear in our study

because we believe that the student

should make the effort to discover them

for himself. The translation

of Bussy's messages, so telling for

those who have already taken the trouble

to work and recognize the

path, will allow him to progress

and acquire the benchmarks

essential to the understanding

of such a science and art. secrets.

This painting bears the motto: “not

for oneself, but for the Lord”. It

represents a vigorous bird with

outstretched wings that stands

firmly on the same

dead bird , and seems to devour it. Here

we have a more expressive image

and more precise still of a

set of operations symbolized

by Basil Valentin under the image of the

rooster and the fox: "at this moment,

the rooster will devour the fox, then

suffocate in the water, so that the

similar is restored to the

similar ”.

Summary Continued

This image was masterfully

commented by Fulcanelli in the "

mystery of the cathedrals": "the

rooster must take the state of

temporary fixity that characterizes the

symbol of the pin, our

hermetic fox ... This dry water,

keep it in the fire for a long time, become

attribute the fox as a sign

of her new nature. The water

became earth and the mercury sulfur.

This earth, however, despite the

beautiful coloring it took on

long contact with fire, would be of

no use in its dry form. An old

axiom teaches us that any

dry dye is useless in its

dryness. It is therefore advisable to

redissolve this earth or this salt

in the same water which gave it

birth or, which amounts to

even, in its own blood, so

that it becomes a second time

volatile and that the fox takes again the

complexion, the wings and the tail of the

cock. By a second operation,

similar to the previous one, the

compound will coagulate again,

it will fight again against the tyranny

of fire, but this time in the

fusion itself and no longer because

of its dry quality. Thus will be born the

first stone, not absolutely

fixed, nor absolutely volatile,

however quite permanent in the fire,

very penetrating and very fusible,

properties which you will have to

increase by means of a third

iteration of the same technique.

Then the rooster, attribute of Saint Peter,

true and flowing stone, on

which the Christian edifice rests,

will have crowed three times ”.

And Fulcanelli confirms, without fear

of disclosure, what

our philosopher teaches us in his

painting: "the rooster and the fox

are only the same hieroglyph

covering two

distinct physical states of the same matter".

The first material, the dead bird,

is placed in the dark and

shadowy area of the painting. On the other hand,

the living bird spreads its wings

with, in the background, a field of

ripe wheat.

CONCLUSION

Thus ends this study which

filled us with joy, each time

we succeeded in penetrating, with the

greatest certainty, the thought of

the author. We have said it before and

we will say it again:

alchemical science is an exact

and unchanging science which has remained

identical to itself for

centuries and even millennia.

The facts are precise and concrete and

you can acquire through such

study and such work the

deep conviction that the operations

you have carried out, what you

have seen through matter,

what you have touched with your

own hands, are the same

reality felt and seen by another

philosopher, at another time,

more than three centuries before you.

You then become aware of

this long immense chain woven

through time by eternal

wisdom to help man

climb the ladder of another

science which is part of Tradition

and of true Knowledge.

ADVICE FOR STUDENTS OF THE

HOLY SCIENCE
Summary Continued
In the previous chapters, we

have approached the main

problems encountered by the

researcher in the realization of the

first parts of the work.

The studious student will be able to collect

through these the elements

which will allow him to recognize the

way. But we have

only very briefly touched on the

essential and final phase . This phase,

only Kamala-Jnana and a few

masters dared to speak about it with

precision. Even Fulcanelli refused to

speak clearly about the last

operations, apart from sentences

too concise to be able to be

exploited in a practical way.

These operations are, however, of

capital importance for the

overall understanding of the work

and its purpose. So we

will offer you quotes that

specify and which will help you to

finalize the goal, the day when you

will have succeeded in the perfect control of the

first parts of the work.

But before transcribing these texts,

we would like to tell you about the

main pitfalls thrown by all

philosophers to hide not

only the entrance to the path, but

the route itself. To be conquered

without peril, one triumphs without glory,

argue a good number

of authors. But there are other

reasons. Alchemical operations

are so simple that they

could be translated into very

few words. It is therefore

essential, in order to avoid

eager for the path, to use

expressions and parables that

only the

studious student endowed with a healthy and

logical mind , a lively imagination,

a fiery and pure heart, the one who

is willing to work with can decipher

perseverance, while despising the

vanities of the world, to serve the most

underprivileged, the one who, finally, is

able to remain faithful to the silence

imposed by a long tradition which

wants that only symbolic language

be used to transmit the

acquired knowledge.

The fact that philosophers have

used the same name to

designate different subjects,

constitutes the first pitfall. So

mercury can represent several

materials, and it is itself called

sulfur.

Another difficulty lies in

the expression of colors. Any son

of science knows, from the start,

recognize the color identity that

philosophers have established between

black and blue. In general, when it

is spoken of blue, it is the color

black that is expressed. But

other colors have also been

intentionally changed. So

be careful and follow

Etteila's advice : "do

n't overdo it with color." The

descriptions so clear that the

philosophers give their

regimes to which they attribute

emblematic colorings,

seem perfectly limpid. However,

we admit, with sincerity, that

these colored descriptions are

partially false or

chimerical.

You will also have to research

what the sages mean by the

regime of the stone. Kamala-Jnana

warns us that there is a

diet, a fire

regime and a progressive and continuous regime in the

operational direction. The researcher will

therefore have a great interest in knowing which

diet it is talking about. Fulcanelli

warns us that the coction includes

several repetitions of the same

way of operating and it is

necessary, between each of them,

to separate the excrements, because

our stone could be

infected. This is

far-reaching and very useful advice . "He

who will know the regime, writes

Philalethes, will be honored by the princes

and the great of the earth".

Finally, reasoning and logic

will not be able to help you discover

the main secret of the

alchemical work . This secretum

secretorum, qualified by Fulcanelli

as absurd, absurd and

paradoxical, because its action

defies all scientific rule, has

never been revealed and

probably never will be. But if you

do not refuse the new ideas

and you search among the

writings and the parables taught

by the true philosophers, perhaps

you will discover the great

secret and you will be part of the sons

of Holy Science.

The mere fact of lavishing you these

few tips and

telling you these reefs of the

hermetic sea will allow you, we

are convinced, to save a

lot of time,

trial and error and

unnecessary research . But keep patience,

be tenacious, persevering and don't

do not despise work, day

or night, which alone will

allow you to progress.

Listen now to the few

descriptions which can shed light on the

last operations:

Kamala-Jnana, in the

alchemical genesis : “At this stage, the

worlds are planets of which

our earth is the living model, neither

too hot nor too cold, it

allows the life. The rotating and

perpetual action of their course in

space continues to produce this

fifth fire, from which is born heat,

light and energy. However,

as any heat activated in

a dry environment produces color

white, it followed that some

worlds brightened and their

whiteness produced light. The

lights were born. Their

celestial position , their degree of dryness, their

incandescence, their place in

the orbit of the system of the universe

were so many signs of

recognition for men.

Because it is well known that the

pole star that the Egyptians saw

three or four thousand years ago

is not the same one that the

Egyptians today can

see. Man can therefore situate the

eras according to the luminaries. The

incandescent stars are named

suns, the cooled stars are

called moons. Still others

hold the middle ground between the two and

are called lands. Finally,

still others are called

stars ”.

The alchemical creed by

Mustagogos: “the sage knows that from

death comes life. After the stage

of purification or death, comes

that of resurrection or life. The

germs, coated with their

blackish and smelly matrix , the seal

of Hermes which protects them being

carefully put aside by

the artist, undergo the test of

purifying fire in the form of

igneous water baths , come out of the darkness

and become

dazzlingly white . Death is conquered.

The morning star or very pure moon

appears ”.

“Continuing the cooking, the sage

sees forming on his

Adamic earth containing the precious

germ a kind of reddish oil

fringed with gold sometimes called the seal

of Hermes or blood of the martyrs, which

is the quintessence of salt,

sulfur and mercury of the

philosophers. This blood of the martyrs

is the one that will nourish the child who has grown up

and will allow the stone

changed into a moon to be dressed in the

red tunic of the victorious Christ

”.

"We see that the stone

perfect result of the mining is

also composed of the same

substance since the wise man feeds

the newborn child with virginal milk,

having understood that no

foreign body to the mining should be

added to the granulation then,

later, when the child has grown up,

Diana's doves having appeared, he

needs richer food.

Then the sage, having studied the

mysteries of nature, gives it

meaty food which is

the mine's own blood, extracts

from the three bodies composing it and a

true ambrosia of the gods ”.

"For the stone of the philosophers, which has

reached the stage of the moon,

pure, very fixed, the ascent to the

alchemical heavens means that perfection

is reached. Indeed, the sage

gently soaks the white stone with the

precious blood of the martyrs,

renewing the operation and soon the

stone takes on

increasingly warm shades , ranging from yellow to

fiery orange, then to fiery red,

fairy shimmer. of

bright colors , before the tired and

dazzled eyes of the artist. The stone is

clothed in the purple robe of the

victorious Christ. The sage, who has become

the Father's elect and his confidant,

possesses the Philosopher's

Stone or the Stone of Wisdom ”.

The book of Synesius: "take,

my son, white medicine, as

much as you like, and

put it in a vessel, on the

hot ashes, where you will let it

dry out like these very

ashes. Then give

water from the sun that you will have set

aside and that you will have kept

for this operation. Then continue

the second degree fire

until it becomes dry.

Give it again the same

water and successively soak and

dry until rubbing and

liquefies like wax and runs

as I said on the

inflamed laminate . Then this material

will be perfect and red. But

notice that whenever

you soak you should not

put more solar water

than is necessary to cover the body and

this is observed exactly, lest

the elixir submerge and sink.

drown. You will proceed in order,

until the perfection of

medicine, namely until the

power of the digestion of the fire

converts it into a very red powder

which is the true oil of the

philosophers, the bloodthirsty stone, the

red coral, the precious ruby,

red mercury and red dye

”.

The zodiacal life of Moses by

Kamala-Jnana: “Just before his

dead, God will show Moses, from

afar, the promised land, why?

Because the true

philosopher's stone , it is not he who will

tread on it, but Joshua. Finally, the

thirty-day mourning worn by Israel,

when the cycle of

Joshua will have begun , indicates that the stage of

multiplication, beginning again with the

death of the stone, has a duration of

thirty philosophical days. The

tears also indicate that

begins by solve. Let us

simply underline for the record and for

proof that the public life of Joshua

(multiplication)

also contains , in short, the

main phases of solve and

coagula: carnage or putrefaction,

withdrawal of the waters of the Jordan,

fixation of the moon and the sun, etc ...

”.

Basile Valentin, for his part, was

much more discreet about

the operations that

the authors

we have just cited have so perfectly described to us. And

yet, his explanations are

not without deep interest for those

who have already known how to recognize what

the wise mean by their gold and

their antimony. We will therefore quote

part of his twelfth key which

relates to this part of

the work that we are

currently studying :

"Without the slightest detour, I will deliver

this key to the true and

very perfect progress of the tincture and, for

this purpose, be attentive to my doctrine

so that you follow it. When the

medicine and the stone of all the

sages is made and perfectly

prepared from the real milk of the virgin,

take in part, then

excellent and very pure gold, melted,

purged with antimony and reduced into

very thin strips, as much as

possible, three parts. Put them

together in a crucible

usually used for melting metals.

First give a slow fire for

twelve hours, then hold in

fusion, continuously, for

three days and three nights. At that

time, the purged gold and the stone were

made pure medicine, of

very subtle and penetrating property.

Because, without the ferment of gold, the stone

cannot operate or show its strength

to dye. Indeed, it is

extremely subtle and penetrating.

But if, with its

similar ferment , it is fermented and

united, then the prepared tincture

has received the power to enter and

operate in all other

bodies. Then take one part of the

prepared ferment for a thousand parts

of the molten metal that you want to

dye, then know, for truth and

sovereign faith, that this single metal

will be transmuted into good fixed gold ”.

We humbly admit that

in our beginnings we

worked on antimony and stibnite

and we know that the number of

researchers who have committed this

regrettable confusion and who have

allowed themselves to be caught in the

gross trap set by many

philosophers, however renowned, is

simply stupendous.

Artephius who begins with these

words: "antimony is parts

of Saturn ...", Philalhetus who entitles

one of his works: "

Experiments on the preparation of

philosophical mercury by regulates

of martial antimony ... ", and Basil

Valentin who writes a whole work

on the" Triumphal chariot of

antimony "have, as is

customary, spoken under the veil of the

symbol.

It was therefore necessary for us, after

experiences which saw us, alas,

waste a lot of material,

time and money, recognize our

mistakes of youth and also research

what these wise men

wanted to understand by their

antimony which is very

truly useful for purge their gold. “

The antimony of the wise, a raw

material extracted directly from the

mine, is not properly mineral

and even less metallic, thus

that the Philalhète teaches. But, without

participating in these two substances, it

holds the middle ground between the one and the other.

It is not, however, bodily,

since it is entirely volatile. It is

not spirit, since it liquefies in

fire like a metal. It is therefore

a chaos which takes the place of the mother of

all metals ”. And Fulcanelli, to

specify: "It is the metallic

and mineral flower , the first rose, black

in truth, which has remained here below

like a particle of

elementary chaos ".

SACRED TEXTS
Contents Continued

When we study the sacred texts,

so similar to each other, despite

the remoteness of the places where they were

born, we are struck by

how close certain facts described are

to the life of our

microcosm. And very often, the very life

of the masters or envoys of

God seems to be modeled on that of

our stone, during the phases which

lead it to the state of

perfect purity . Among these texts, we

have the laws of Manou, the tao, the

genesis already mentioned, the

Chaldean tablets , the black bible, the

new testament, not to mention

the Egyptian papyri.

It seems, as

A. Volguine points out, that a law of analogy binds

inextricably a great

philosopher's principle emanating from the

macrocosm and a great

human philosopher principle , the second

being the exact reflection of the first.

Thus could we study the life

of Isis, Osiris, Horus, Lao Tseu, Elijah,

Elisha, Boudha, Jesus or Moses and

we would then observe the same

parallel march between our

hermetic sun and the major phases

of the life of these envoys of God.

Because it is close to the path

we are following, because it calls out

to us a more than

prestigious name , we are going to evoke the

life of Mani.

In the 3rd century AD in

Babylonia, in this region between

Tiber and Euphrates where the legends

locate Eden, was born a

new philosophy which knew a

prodigious expansion, going from the

shores of the China Sea to those

of the Atlantic and whose principles

still live today. . This

philosophy was called Manichaeism,

from the very name of its founder

Mani, who was also called Manès

or Manichée.

This Manichean faith flourished from the

11th to the 13th century, in the

Pays d'Oc, by taking the name of the

Cathar faith . And it took the Roman church

over fifty years of unrelenting

war and repression.

thank you for rooting out this faith in a

good god, deeply rooted

in Occitan hearts, and

covering
transcendent

wisdom with a veil of obscurantism

.

The word Mani, in Sanskrit, designates

a precious stone, a gem

and if we add the term

Maha which means large, we

will immediately have the evocation

of our large stone which

is still called precious ruby, so

dear to the heart. of the philosopher.

We can also compare

Mani with the Syriac word Mana which

means receptacle or vessel, and which

evokes this "vessel of salvation" which,

according to legend, was carved from a

gemstone called emerald.

But the nickname of Manichée,

attributed to Mani, can be interpreted

as meaning "the vessel which

spills the manna". This

small and pearly manna which appears on the

ground, allowed the children of Israel

to feed themselves during their flight from Egypt

during the crossing of the desert. If

we refer to the holy bible,

we can collect

valuable information about

this manna. The quails, which at the

same time as the manna,

also fed the children of Israel,

suggest, for their part, this

meaty food which serves to

replace the virgin's milk and to

feed the grown-up child.

Mani was born in Abrumya in the year 527

of the Seleucid era, that is to say on

April 14 , 216. He was Persian through his mother

Maryam who was related to the

reigning dynasty of the Arsacids.

Like many chosen ones, his

birth was announced by an

angel. But he did not inform

Maryam that the child would be crippled.

Indeed Mani, at birth, had

his right leg twisted and will remain

lame. Maryam and her husband

Patek were followers of the

Zoroaster religion in which

they raised their baby boy. They

then joined the sect of the

Manqdé, that is to say the pure whose

the members of Hallé were called

Héwari, dressed in white. If

the existence of Zoroaster remains

doubtful, it is certain that the

religion founded in his name exerted

an immense influence. By

doing away with costly sacrifices and

reducing

the worship of ox and

fire to their simplest form , she resolutely turned to

the humble. Zoroastrianism

retained the idea of a

permanent conflict between two principles,

Good and Evil, and had to come to an

end with the coming of a messiah,

a savior. Mani kept this

idea at the center of his system. He

inaugurated his apostolate with a

travels to India where he converts a

king, then returned to Persia where he won

King Shahpûr I to his cause. But

when he dies, his

successor, Bahram I, will have

Mani thrown in prison. Covered in chains,

he suffered a passion of 26 days

with exemplary serenity and

died after having taken the sun to

witness the injustice of the powerful.

His body will be torn to

pieces, but his followers will

piously collect his

relics and bury them in

Ctesiphon.

It is strange to note how

close the

Manichean philosophy is
, in its principles, to

our holy science and those who

have already been able to unravel some

of its mysteries will

immediately understand the explanations

we are going to give.

The central idea of the

Manichean doctrine is the following:

since God is good and the

world is in the grip of evil, the

world is not the work of God

but that of an evil spirit and

its entire history is that of of a

merciless struggle between two principles of

equal power, good and

bad, spirit and matter. During

their first encounter

a particle of light emanating from the

Father of greatness will remain

prisoner in the

carnal creation of the prince of darkness.

This is the reason why our

world will be one of mixing.

However, the presence within it

of this spiritual germ promises

salvation after it has gone through

successive purification phases. At the

end of these, light and

darkness, spirit and matter will be

separated, as at the

beginning of time, without

contamination of one by

the other being possible.

A certain number of historians of

religions hold

the existence of Mani to be real . But, as it

was for the lives of many

sent by God, certain

peculiarities or characteristics

were modeled on a great

principle which dates back to the dawn of

time and which is part of this

tradition transmitted over the

centuries under the hidden veil of the

symbol.
The very name of Maryam, the mother

of Mani, the Annunciation

made to her by an angel, already belong

to a legend that we find

in the life of Jesus and of his mother

Mary.

This mythical character of

Mani's life is also affirmed in his

kinship: his father is of

some sort and made a vow of

chastity, his mother on the contrary is

of royal stock. Well

known subject, the father of the initiate is not

his real father. His parentage is

both occult and out of the ordinary

since it is supernatural. He has

only one father in mind. This is the

reason why his genealogy

is revealed by the maternal side and

thanks to prodigious traits:

virginal conception,

announced or miraculous birth ... So

many signs of his hidden kingship which

will later reveal his mission or

his achievements. .

We have already revealed that two

materials were necessary for

the development of our stone. One

of them is of the same conception

miraculous and is found conceived

by the primordial mother without

the intervention of an external agent

other than the Fire or the Holy Spirit. On the other hand

, our other matter will be

conceived of an earthly father.

Mani's congenital infirmity is

also linked to a well-

known theme , that of the initiatory lameness

found in Vulcan, in

Jacob after his struggle with the angel,

in Genghis Khan ... The inferiority

of a character as for the foot is

a sign of its superiority over the

head, its superior faculties.

We find in our work

these peculiarities where the same

material will see its nobility

manifested in the

upper parts while the

lower parts constitute this caput

mortuum, useless and worthless,

when the light is gone.

Thus is explained in

many legends relating to the

"masters of fire"

characters presenting the same

infirmity as that of Mani.

Finally, the death of Mani, whose body

is torn to pieces,

also has a mythical meaning. Like

that of our prophet, the body of

the Egyptian Osiris was divided into

pieces. Romulus, Orpheus,

Dionysus, Attis, suffered a

similar fate . Many

traditions reflect this image of

death by heartbreak.

In our work, our material,

before being reborn to a second life,

must also undergo the same fate.

It must be crushed, torn to

shreds. And it is only by

proceeding in this way that the lucky chosen one

will be able to complete the work and

manifest all the power that

our stone will have been able to acquire from its

first journey.

The Manichaeans swarmed as

far as Egypt and

North Africa where they rallied to their faith Saint

Augustine, entered

Central Asia where they converted

the immense Ouigour empire,

pushed to China where they

remained active until the 15th century.

century, gained a foothold in Rome

of the last Caesars then, under the

name of Bogomils (friends of God)

gained in their faith, in the

beginnings of the Middle Ages, Bulgarians and

Dalmatians. But imperial Rome,

that of the popes, the Arab

and Mongolian empires persecuted

the Manicheans so much and so well that their survival was a

miracle. According to H. Ch.

Puech, the Manichean faith

still exists today among those who

call themselves: Christians of Saint

John. And we know that this

apostle is the father of the

secret and esoteric church, the one that was

responsible for transmitting the

knowledge of tradition and

guide those who, duly prepared,

are willing to take one of the

paths that can lead them to the

top of the mountain.

ALCHEMY AND PHYSICS

Summary Continued
Alchemy uses
chemical

materials for its operations

, but

nevertheless remains a science far

removed from the usual operations

of chemistry and undoubtedly,

in some of its aspects and

its results, falls under more

physics.

If it remains nebulous and

secret, Holy Science

nevertheless has the privilege of not

having evolved over the centuries and

to have remained herself, which

is a big advantage for

those who devote themselves to this Art. Although

the language has evolved and our

mental conceptions are

not quite the same as they

used to be, we can fully

understand the information

bequeathed to us by the philosophers of the

past. If they tell us that they

carry out 7 to 9 eagles or

philosophical sublimations, if we

do not understand what

these operations represent, we

can at least understand that it

is essential to

start them again according to the figures

indicated. When they talk about extracting

the light of darkness, we

can understand that it is a question of

separating two matters of which one

is clear and the other dark. When

they tell us about the emerald,

the virgin's milk, the black virgin

or the dragon's blood, we

have no difficulty in

imagining the color of these materials.

On the other hand, the other so-called

exact sciences evolve according to the

results of the experiment and

we can never be

sure of having the good

conception of the phenomenon. Let us take

as the only example that of

light: Newton presented it

as an emission of particles.

Huyghens, sweeping away this

conception, proclaims it as
a propagation of waves. Maxwell,

destroying in his turn this

assertion, attaches it to

electromagnetic waves . And today

we admit that it can be

a question of a wave aspect of the

phenomenon related to the emission

of energy or photons, according to the

theory of quantas. What will it be

tomorrow?

Already experimentation offers us

disconcerting puzzles. In

the double slit experiment, well

known to modern physicists,

a photon seems to pass

through two orifices at the same time. In

that of the separate bundles the

emitted photons are corpuscles

and they interfere like waves.

Neither time nor space seem to

have a constraining

effect on the interference effect. We are

obliged to say that

photons take several

paths at the same time or that

each photon knows what the

others are doing , whatever the distance

separating them during their emission.

It seems then that, either in

time or in space,

distant events are

interconnected and these connections

are almost instantaneous. They go

beyond even what is permitted

by the theory of relativity.

We do not want to go into the

smallest detail, and we have already

spoken of it in the chapter devoted to

physics, but we can say

that the decisive experiment

carried out at the optical laboratory

of Orsay demonstrated, in an

irrefutable way , the violation

of Bell's inequalities and the notion of

inseparability to which

Einstein was opposed .

So what will be the next step

in our design that will

allow us to penetrate deeper

into the secrets of the universe and to

design

new technological means on an

unsuspected scale?

I hypothesized, with other

physicists, the existence of a

subquantic field whose

characteristics would imply the

permanent bond of two

particles. The quantas would

then be waves which would

move in this field. The

main currents would create

fronts of secondary waves which would

propagate almost
instantaneously, thus creating an

information base.

Here we are, you will say, a century

behind when all the physicists

of the time could not believe that

the ether did not exist.

There is nothing more difficult than

to retrace your steps and

to examine whether a fault has been

committed, especially if the

accepted conclusions have proved

fruitful in

subsequent research . This was the case for

the Michelson and Morley experiment

which provided proof, according to the

physicists of the time, that the ether

did not exist, and that Einstein issued

his famous theories of

relativity which brought so much to the

physics of the 20th century.

But we come to the foot of a

wall and the puzzles that we

have just reported should

oblige physicists to make the

process of this return and to

examine whether an error would not have occurred.

not slipped somewhere, because

apparently only the existence of a

field seems to provide an

acceptable hypothesis for these

observations. It seems difficult

to us to believe, as some have

suggested, that the particle goes back in

time to inform its twin of

the measurement made on it.

We could go much

further in certain hypotheses and

possible effects, thanks to the

knowledge of the structure and

the density of the field, such as the

limiting speed of light, the effect

of acceleration on a human body

when using of the control for the

displacement, the modification of the

masse, mais sans intérêt immédiat

pour l’investigateur en l’Art

d’Alchimie. Aussi arrêterons-nous là

nos suggestions, en espérant

qu’elles permettront la réflexion et

l’action de quelques chercheurs.

Pour d’autres, qui souhaiteront

s’engager sur le rude chemin de la

recherche alchimique, peut-être nos

explications leur auront-elles permis

de comprendre que l’étude n’est

rien sans l’expérimentation, et que

les conclusions que l’on peut parfois

tirer de celle-ci doivent pouvoir être

remises en cause. Sans cela, nul

progrès n’est possible dans une

science plus difficile encore que celle

that we have just mentioned.

It is by alternating between study

and testing, by frequent

flashbacks, that you

will be able to climb the ladder of a

science that hides all its secrets.

You will have to control in the

laboratory the object of your

deductions and check if what you

observe in the material

corresponds to what is said, under the

veil of the symbol, by the true

masters of the art. Valentin, Philalète,

Le Cosmopolite, Maïer, Trismosin,

Flamel, Cyliani, Fulcanelli, Kamala-

Djana and others still

belong to it. And it will only be

gradually, over the years,

that you will find that

an increasingly important part of

your observations agrees with

the true alchemical texts and

that you are on the right path.

Then, when you have acquired

all of the operations and it

will be possible for you to transform

mercury, lead or silver into

gold, you will then be a true son

of Holy Science and the Art

of alchemy. .

And, like your brothers of the past,

you will have understood that this

knowledge cannot be

divulged, that transmutation

is not the main interest of your

art and that this world is very much

more complex and secret than you

could imagine.

EPILOGUE
Summary Continued
To you, Brothers, whom fate

will lead on the path of Holy

Science,
Do not forget the magical emerald,

The one we call dew!

Eliminate the black impurities from her!

Purify it, whiten it!

You will make of it the blood of Christ which

regenerates and saves.

Seek and you will find the most

beautiful jewel in this world, in the

service of Christ the King.

And beware of

temporal goods and the useless power

of illusion that they generate.

OUR PRESENT
Home page Continued
If we look around us

and ask what

our materialistic civilization has

brought to man in happiness and

inner peace, we must

unfortunately note that the results are

hardly encouraging. The majority of

beings who live today in

our civilized countries only manage to

live by force of energy and

endurance, in an atmosphere
of hectic, feverish and

unhealthy activity. We have created the

machine which has increased our means

and our power of action a hundredfold , but

we have become its slave

and its victim: slave in peace,

victim in war. Distance

is no longer an obstacle for us.

We move

quickly from one point of the globe to another

and yet we do not see

that these ease of movement

have made us better and

happier. Because if the adage wants that the

trips form the youth, they

hardly seem to contribute, in the

majority of the cases to strengthening the

bonds of harmony and fraternity

which should unite the people.

Man possesses the

marvelous faculty of expressing his thoughts

and of making his voice heard

to the most

distant lands ; it can emit and

record

light and sound vibrations ;

opaque bodies have become permeable

to his gaze and yet, if it is

possible for him to probe matter, what

does he know of himself, of

his origin, of his essence and of

his destiny? Man wants to go

fast, always faster. Carried away

by his passions, his lusts and

his phobias, the horizon of his

hopes recedes indefinitely. It is the

frantic race towards the abyss,

constant wear and tear , impatient,

frenzied activity , applied without respite or

rest. Satisfied desires

succeed other

unfulfilled desires . At this rate, at this

diet, physical health is declining.

Despite the dissemination and observation

of hygiene rules,

prophylaxis measures , despite

countless

therapeutic procedures and

the accumulation of

chemical drugs , the disease continues its

devastation with untiring

perseverance. So much so that

the organized fight against

known scourges seems to have no other

result than to give birth to

new, more serious and more

refractory ones. Nature itself

gives unequivocal signs

of weariness. It is by dint of

chemical fertilizers that the cultivator obtains

harvests of average value.

Everything that vegetates lacks sap

and resistance. Plants

die back and are

unable to react against

invasion by

parasitic insects and attack by

mycellium diseases .

More terrible still, new

dangers loom on the horizon,

with genetic transmutations

and cloning.

Should we let

our free will disappear , should we

trust those who want

to impose their solutions on us?

We can, without belonging to

any movement whatsoever,

act by thought, in harmony

with millions of beings who

work for an ethics to be

put in place, accepted and

respected by all the peoples of the

planet.

An initiative is underway. It

consists of the establishment of a

commission of wise men within the

UN.

How

could such a commission have any

power, you will say, when

we see this organization

struggling with almost

insurmountable problems ? I will answer you

that this commission of wise men

will hold its power from you, if

you take the trouble to support it

by the power of your will, to

your thinking and your deep

desire for it to be so.

All sciences, physics,

chemistry, mathematics, use

symbols. Without them, they

could not have made the progress

they have made. You have

discovered the multiple symbols that

Alchemy uses. You will

now discover the symbols

used by the Mayans. You will

understand how the symbol,

used with the power of thought,

can bring about the realization of

achievements that may at

first glance seem unthinkable ...

Love and Brotherhood on this

Earth are possible, if you

want!

HOW CAN WE ACT

TO CREATE A FUTURE

THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM OUR PRESENT?

Home page
I learned during my

contacts with these shamans,

whether they are from the north or the south, from the

Amazon forest, from Yucatan or

from Tibet, that they knew

great truths, in a language

not wrote and they knew

how it all relates to the

energies of Earth and Cosmos.

They are custodians of the

highest wisdom that the planet can

offer mankind. But they are

ignored, because they represent nothing

on the political plan. Isn't it

time for a counsel of the

world's spiritual wisdom to speak out and

make its voice heard? A project

exists. A group of men and

women are working for the

realization of this Council of Elders.

You probably do not know, but an

organization exists within the United Nations

to deal with proposals

in this direction. The SEAT or

Society for Enlightenment and

Transformation, is an

organization under the

United Nations , with its headquarters within

the United Nations.

The members of the

United Nations who express a desire to participate in the sessions . The

current president is

Jennifer Borchers. Any

organization with a

serious spiritual message can ask

SEAT to present it to

UN members.

An association was created in the

United States to prepare a

project and present it to this

organization.

You can help

directly. But you can also

act effectively, from where

you live, by

simply expressing a wish for this

advice to emerge.

You can also, if you

wish, combine the power of the

symbol with the power of your

thought. Visualize a square at

center of which are inscribed

the letters ONU, then around this

square simply visualize two

circles, thinking that all the

wisdom of the world is in

the space delimited by these two

circles. That's all, it's simple,

but effective if

many of you are doing it

regularly and repeatedly.

THE 4th DIMENSION

Congratulations, you had the

wisdom, but above all the intuition, to

enter a space unknown to

the greatest number. You have

thus had the demonstration of

how the doors

of passage from one plan to another work,

these high places of the wisdom of the

world which preserve

Knowledge and Tradition, which

only those who seek can

discover.
You have entered a space

where we are going to talk to you about the

4th dimension because it

may be possible for you to know and

experience this plane.

Multiple planes exist

simultaneously, but we

will only tell you about the 4th

dimension, because it will

soon be open to as

many people as possible. This plan corresponds

to the place where there are today

some beings having populated

countries of America who disappeared from

overnight. These beings having

reached the necessary spiritual level

disappeared from our frequency

of observation, but still live

on our planet, at a

higher vibration of manifestation. In

short, they operate on the same

places and in homes

generating very civilization

evolved, but simply invisible

to our eyes. Those who have read

Castaneda's writings can

get an idea of how

some passed on this plane of

manifestation. But other

peoples also live in this 4th

dimension and you will get to

know them ...

Currently, within our

present humanity, men and

women are rising in order to

penetrate these areas of life

that meet precise standards

of vibratory frequencies. They are

emissaries and interveners

acting in our world in order

to inform those who wish to seize

the opportunity offered to them to

enter these places. It is offered to

all the inhabitants of this plane, without

exception, but you can imagine

that only beings who have acquired very specific

qualities of souls

will be able to enter it. Everyone will

position themselves in complete freedom. Our

role is simply to inform.

This is the reason why we

opened this window

of opportunity and

let your intuition lead you

to this space. Do not think

that it is chance which

led you here to discover these lines.

You have been led, by this

synchronicity, to manifest what

your heart is urging.

In order to penetrate this place of life that

is the 4th dimension, to

discover the beauty of the

infrastructures, the parks and the

gardens, the laws of harmony and the

inhabitants who await you, it is

necessary to clearly express

your desire to leave this place of

disorder to find a place of

peace. You must, and this is

imperative, to prove by your

attitude, your behavior, your

relationships, that you are able

to generate peace, love and

harmony in those around you and to

spread the light on this plane,

first. That's all ! It's simple and

yet so difficult for many!

You have ten years to do it,

because already the airlock between the

3rd and 4th dimension is being

built and put in place.

Let's talk about this airlock. What is he

really? This passage is both

inside and outside. It is interior

that all of our cells

will change geometry and

our energies, currently

concentrated in our 3rd

body, will move and stretch like

a rubber band up to the 4th

body. Arrived at their destination, the

first energy molecules

will bring back the following ones. Our

body will thus slide from the 3rd

dimension into the 4th, opening

the doors of the worlds in relation

to the corresponding landscapes.

Nothing but flexibility,

inner transformation! If you

have followed the explanations

given to you about the Hunchback

from Amsterdam with the change

of the directing astral body, you

must fully understand the

process.

This passage will also be external because

it will occur under the action of an

astronomical phenomenon which

will generate an immense gateway

to the dimension of the

planet, under the influence of

powerful

cosmic and telluric currents

which will encompass all

living beings, from whatever reign

they may be. Only those willing

not to respond to the new

patterns of life will be left

behind.

Over the next ten

years, i.e. until 2012,

opportunities,

synchronisms will present themselves to

you and your choice. What will be

your decision? stay in the

3rd dimension, go to the

4th, or opt for an

even more grandiose solution which

we will talk about in other places?

You have your free choice

and it will be respected. If you decide

to act, then spread peace,

tolerance, love, harmony and

joy. Be calm and confident.

Have faith in the greatness of what

you can manifest! And,

like millions of beings,

visualize our beautiful planet

illuminated by the light of these beings

who have already chosen to meet

in this place where, finally, they will be able to

build, with the help of their Friends

and Brothers, a magnificent

civilization, in the light of

lights, the light of life!

More information will be

provided there in the

months and years to come.

Other doors, too, will be

opened ...

We love you and you are

loved.
