The Philosopher`s Stone

What is Faculty X? It is, as Wilson says, our ability to grasp the reality of “other times and places.” It is in fact our evolutionary destiny—according to Wilson—to cultivate Faculty X which is at once the “creative faculty and the occult faculty.” This last tells us that, as would make sense in a book about the occult. To understand The Philosopher’s Stone more fully, we must first state the exact nature of what Wilson calls ‘relationality’, and its key component ‘intentionality’.

The Philosopher`s Stone

The word Guru means “remover of darkness.” Anyone or anything that helps you remove the layers of ignorance covering your true essence is a type of Guru. By dwelling in the tenth gate he applies profound meditation . By the touch of the philosopher’s stone he obtains the highest step . For the sake of the happiness. The glory of the guru is unfathomable. Even to compare him to the philosophers’ stone is not enough. The philosophers’ stone has the power to turn base metals into gold. Yet it cannot turn it into a philosophers’ stone. A true guru, however, can turn a disciple into a guru like himself.” This is the supermost qualification of a real master, the Guru

The title Story Alchemy isn’t a metaphor. It’s the real deal. Ideas for stories, the prima materia of the story alchemist, are gifts. Love gives birth to the philosopher’s stone, the mysterious awareness of unity that is the philosopher’s stone. At that moment, the Divine Light comes up, the world drowns in the Divine Light, and what the Sufis call the “Sea of splendor” is present.

The jewel in the lotus and the Philosopher ‘ s Stone both represent spiritual perfection.In Gnosticism, to begin with, the soul has to escape from the Archons who at every stage try to block its way upward. Salvation is a developmental process. Those eligible to aspire to gnosis , or intuitive awareness of the structures of reality, can only escape the hard world through an arduous change of consciousness. So humanity began , almost by accident , with grains of original light trapped within him , each of which must spend itself trying to be reunited with God

The Mandala is an important symbol of the self; a wonderful expression of the self as the highest value, the philosopher’s stone of the alchemists. It is often called numinous which means it is charged with an enormous amount of psychic energy and can occur as an overpowering religious experience.

The Philosopher`s Stone

The whole goal of the alchemical art lay in “the general idea that the powers of the cosmic soul must somehow be concentrated in a solid, the philosophers’ stone or elixir, which would then be able to carry out the transmutations that the alchemists desired.” It was an attempt to reconstruct, for specific cases, the descent of specific minerals from that undifferentiated ((cosmic soul” or medium as exactly as possible, in order to incorporate that “cosmic soul’s” very powers of.transmutation in ordinary matter. As Holmyard states it, “The underlying idea seems to have been that since the prime matter was the same in all substances, an approximation to this prime matter should be the first quest of alchemy.” The ability to confect such a “philosophical gold” would indeed give its possessors an awesome power. It is important to view this quest for the Philosophers’ Stone in a much wider context in order to reveal its true significance.

The Earth’s Kundalini Is the secret energy that is connected to the hearts of all of mankind. The Earth’s Kundalini is always attached to a single location on the surface of the Earth and stays there for a period of about 13,000 years. But then it moves to a new location for the next 13,000 years, based upon cycles of time, or what we call the Precession of the Equinox. And when it moves, our idea of what “spiritual” means changes. It transforms according to the new energies of the future cycle, leading us Into a higher spiritual path. The bigger picture is this. The Kundalini has two poles, and one is in the exact center of the Earth. The other is located on the surface somewhere and anywhere in the world. It is the consciousness of the Earth herself that decides where it is to be. And there Is a pulse of exactly 12,920 years when the polarity of the Earth’s Kundalini changes to the opposite pole, and it simultaneously changes location on the surface of the Earth. The kundalini also seems to be a factor in the production of the Philosopher‘s Stone

The secret of the Gnostic-Hermetic transformation does not come from the books (such as this one) or maps or drawings of others, but from our own personal self-awakening. In the Egyptian system of the Five Bodies, we find a metaphor for alchemical work. The separated elements —Earth, Air, Fire and Water—symbolized by the four lower bodies, are refined and realigned into the reality of the Fifth the indestructible Diamond Self, the Philosopher’s Stone—the symbol of unity and realization. No mechanicity (no tehnology) can AWAKEN US, no mechanicity can INTIMATELY SELF-REALIZE US. SELF-REALIZATION can only be the result of a conscious

Alchemy and apocalypse share a common gendered language. They envision the unity of the world, and all its matter, as a coming together of the female and male powers that animate the world. When male and female were sacredly conjoined, according to alchemical lore, then you would have the miraculously all-powerful stone. The book of Revelation also forecasts a sacred marriage.
