Philosopher's Stone & The Great Work of Alchemy
For many centuries, the Philosopher’s Stone was the most sought-after goal in Western Alchemy. Alchemists believed that it is possible to transmute impure metals into gold by means of a legendary alchemical substance called the Philosopher's Stone. The alchemist himself was to live through the transmutation process, known as The Great Work, and metamorphose into the Philosopher’s Stone.
What is the Philosopher's Stone?
In psycho-spiritual alchemy, the Philosopher's Stone, said to grant immortality, is a quintessence permitting intelligent evolution from a lower state of imperfection and vice into a higher state of enlightenment and perfection. In a spiritually elevated person, the Stone brings miraculous powers such as rejuvenation, transmutation, transfiguration, reviving dead plants, or the ability to heal illness and prolong life.
It is said, “The Stone is a blessing beyond all blessings upon Earth... given to but a very few, and to those few rather by revelation of the good angels of God than the proper industry of man." Efforts to discover the Stone were known as the Magnum Opus, the “Great Work.”
MAGNUM OPUS: The Great Work of Alchemy
The Great Work is a 7-stage process of internal alchemy and metamorphosis. It follows a 7-step formula in transforming the self, as described in the Emerald Tablets of Thoth:
-
Calcination: this is the initial breakdown of a base metal, using fire to remove impurities.
-
Dissolution: the ashes from Calcination are dissolved in water.
-
Separation: the components of Dissolution are isolated and separated by filtration. Any disingenuous or unworthy material is discarded.
-
Conjunction: the recombination of the saved elements from Separation into a new substance.
-
Fermentation: the growth of bacteria in an organic solution.
-
Distillation: the purification of a fermented solution by boiling and condensation. Distillation is a powerful process of to purify a compound by separating it from a volatile component.
-
Coagulation: the precipitation or sublimation of a purified ferment from Distillation.
Activation of the Philosopher's Stone
The Philosopher's Stone is activated in the Diamond Lily Activation (to a lesser degree in the Iridescent Lily Activation) to facilitate the Great Work.
The first four steps of the Great Work take place "below," in the realm of matter and lower body-mind. The last three steps of the Great Work take place "above," in the realm of higher heart and higher mind. The final step, and meritorious achievement of the Great Work, is to BE the Philosopher's Stone in whom the forces of "above" and "below" come together as one.
