Angelical Alchemy Mysterica(part1)

Angelical Alchemy Mysterica(part1) Victor. Arturo. Cabello. Reyes.🌹 "The Angel is the Face that our God takes for us, and each of us finds his God only when he recognizes his Face." (Henry Corbin) The spiritual master Abbot Trithemius🌹 Sponheim's teachings bring together angelic and astrological theories together with the highly complex form of a Kabbalistic coded language and influences of manifestation between different levels of planetary angels. So, it is the origin of an "angelic pedagogy of sacred transmission" made up of triple hierarchies in perfect homology and cosmological function between heaven and earth. Therefore, Neoplatonic ideas incorporate the different hierarchical levels not only at the metaphysical level but also at the physical-material level, thus understanding the existence of certain levels of high spirituality that are located beyond any rational material concept immersed in a network of universal sympathies and antipathies, from the monad to the world of numbers and high geometry forms. Thus, the power of angelic communication is possible through stones, plants and animals expressing the power of the sun and celestial beings. (1) Some of these influences come from Kabbalah = Expressive tradition of Jewish mysticism = (twelfth and seventeenth centuries). (The Book Sefer ha-Bahir = [Bright], appears in Provence, France in 1180; the Zohar at the end of the thirteenth century = Book of Splendor) Through the sacred Letter, sacred and hieratic language is accessed, preserving pure-angelic elements of a 'perfect language taught by God', which expresses science through expressive words, numerical evaluations of solid ''Adamic'' origin. It is the Lost Word and [sod=secret of God], of the initiatory Order! The one that is currently received between: Letters ''substitutes''. (Albert Pike: Book of Words) On the other hand, it is the same structure of human thought that transports and accommodates the hermeneutical and epiphanic angelic function within a speculative order = [interpretatio mundi], of the unity of the Whole. ''This guardian angel or daimon will be revealed in a manner of ways, through a dream or visionary experience or a passionate encounter with an embodied human being, but it will only manifest in so far as the soul is ready for it.''(2) So, there is, however, an original Language of origin and original tradition [numbers and letters], angelic and reflective image adapted according to each spiritual current that seeks it; Science of Letters [in Arabic=ilmul-hurúf]. The Daimon is originally ''divine being''=''divine being'' and for others =''evil spirit.'' (Matthew: 8:32-34) It seems correct to point out that it is an indispensable astrological-angelic communication system between alchemical-Kabbalistic categories; expressed in numerical Pythagorean codes and sacred letters. According to Poimandres=''A Holy Word descended from the Light upon nature and a-Pure Fire rose from wet nature to the heights.'' (Poimandres) The Nous[pronounce=noose] in essence and duality of light life-light and breath-fire, descends between the ''Governors''=7 descending through the planetary spheres= (conjunction of 7) and 7 planetary Princes of celestial harmony-disharmony. They are 7 spheres ('The Paduano' Pietro d'Abano), celestial hierarchies and astrological-planetary powers with direct and indirect effects, through their descent into the dense Saturnal matter. An angelic revelation that the brilliant teacher Dr. John Dee always loved and respected. ''Dee noted the similarity of the angelic revelations to material in Agrippa, Reuchlin, Trithemius, and Peter d'Abano.'' (3) But the soul achieves its ascension by reversing the process of the fall by means of the alchemical transmutation of the sacra and theurgical transmutation of the sun. Therefore, there are 7 Degrees of ascension towards the Square = V.M. = Sun. Jacob's Ladder. Most notably, each sphere is governed by an angelic Power in "distinct emanation of suitable light"; at the specific level of the angel-planet = Ruler. Oriphiel = Saturn; Anael = Venus; Zachariel=Jupiter; Raphael = Mercury; Samael = Mars; Gabriel = Moon and Michael = Sun. (4) Dionysius The Areopagite = (The Celestial Hierarchy), exposes the structure of the Celestial Intelligences or divine Powers through angelic images structured in an order of defined hierarchical levels. Celestial Divine Hierarchies! They are zodiacal-angelic as well as planetary forces that interact in the different parts of the body from the head = Aries to the feet = Pisces. 72 Names derived from 216 numerical combinations. So are also those who possess ranks and luminous powers according to their sphere; but those at the bottom do not participate equally with those who are "above". ''and this also may be added that all can rightly be called Angels in respect of their participation in the Divine Likeness and Illumination both in the higher and lower ranks.'' (5) These passages constitute a structural order of power regulated, to a certain extent, by powers and beings of sacred hierarchy; some good and others... No. ''Angeli peccatores illecebras detexerunt, aurum, argetum et opera eorum tradiderum...'' (On Idolatry, IX, D.) ''Reality seems to be constituted of a hierarchy of levels, only one which we are directly aware of.'' (5) As we have seen, they are structured through Ternaries (3) = 3 times the Order= (three threefold Orders). Angelical Alchemy Mysterica(part1) Victor. Arturo. Cabello. Reyes🌹 Bibliography: 1. R.T.

There are many eyes... many the wings and tongues of Cherubim and Seraphim all in One unity, immediately united to the First Light; second; Powers-Virtues and Dominions and, at the end; angels-archangels and Principalities. It is worthy of emphasis, that they create certain powers according to the eternal love of the Divinity and Great Geometer of the Universe. But it is not only that, but angelic alchemy is also justified in the law of analogy between angels and men, resulting in a kind of teaching-learning relationship and initiation between intermediary spirits; supernatural powers = angels between God and man. Now, they are ideas that, although millenary, are strengthened by a quasi-Christian esotericism where ideas of Egyptian culture, Gnosticism, Neoplatonism, Jews = Qabalah and Hellenes merge in sacred alchemy. (Creation-Fall and Ascension) "The beech trees—the living creatures," and other objects of Ezekiel's vision were conceived as angels forming a hierarchy in the heavenly court. (6) Let us remember the Apocrypha = (Book of Enoch and Apocalypse of Abraham). Ancient mysticism of the Throne with its contemplation of bright spheres of light, shining chariots flying in the heavens, powers, archons, and dominions. The Abodes of the Hejalot among golden palaces of light that the visionary travels through in total purity of motive and search - ''Vision of ascension to the Merkaba.'' They already constitute, in themselves, powerful Platonic-Neoplatonic ideas reformed by Ammonius Saccas= (Alexandrian master of Plotinus; third century). The Treatises of the pseudo-Dionysus with his Celestial Hierarchies that interpenetrate the scaled levels of the cosmos between emanations of Light = Word intimately related to a practical alchemy and Royal Art. Zosimus, Synesius, Olympiodorus and Mary the Jewess, among others. A path or way of reunion with the primordial light of otherness; that is found here below and up there in the Otherness of each instant. Neoplatonism from the school of Alexandria... gives Western alchemy its almost definitive character... ennoblement of metals, which tend to become gold, and alchemy can accelerate the natural process... regeneration of man and nature, to whom it is a matter of restoring the dignity lost after the fall." (7) Alexandrian Egyptian texts and alchemical-religious texts in particular are a valuable mine of information about spiritual beliefs and "ways of thinking". For example, the famous Ouroboros = [sd m r in Egyptian], -worthy representative of Opus Alchymicum appears in the Pyramid Texts (Pyr.689 b.) as a snake biting its own tail. (#8) End and Beginning of Opus. Ouroborus. The fundamental symbols of the science of Thoth-Hermes are presented among the angelic analogies, metals, planets, and solar energies of light. At the same time, initiatory cults of mysteric celebration are included that consecrate their relationship with the source of light through the celestial spheres=7; in strict and significant ritual-purity. Seminal ideas of Orphic, Platonic, Gnostic, Zoroastrian and Christian origin merge and integrate. They are theories of cohesion that are enriched through the practical-alchemical and theurgical use of the sacred language = Letter through the ''interpretatio greca'' of writing, music, astronomy-astrology and Egyptianizing Templar initiatory practices. (9) Some go so far as to say: ''There is no blade of grass in the world below that does not have an Angel over striking it and telling it to grow.'' (10) ''Let us now gaze into the great vistas opened by these mystics and visionaries, the panoramas of armies of angels, dynasties of angels, angelic leaders, angelic heroes and, yes, bad angels... and angelic civilizations rising and falling.'' (11) For, everything that happens in the Cosmos since Creation itself and its paradisiacal environment occurs in the same Athanor of the alchemist. The alchemy of the cosmos is deposited in the personal athanor of the microcosm man. Antagonistic duality. Curiously, only two of their names are known through the Hebrew scriptures= (Gabriel and Michael). They all come out of the EYE OF GOD! Therefore, alchemy is Sacred Art and Royal Art, since it emanates from the privileged knowledge of the Caste of angelic Theurgists who illustrate to Man the Celestial Greater Art. But they charge you sex tax. Eye! It is a constant struggle between the light and the wall of darkness in which "a hole must be made", in order to be able to see, since the Divinity acquires and assumes the appearance of visibility in the Heart of Man. ''... and daughters were born to them, then the sons of the True God began to observe the daughters of men, that they were good looking; and they began to take wives for themselves, namely, as many as they chose... the sons of the true God continued to have relations with the daughters of men and they bore them sons, these were the mighty ones who were of old, the men of Fame." This enabled the Children of Men, through women, to learn the Art of Metallurgy. In the Book of Genesis, we find the best and oldest = (following Sumerian-Babylonian records) explanation of Alchemy about the Fall and its consequences. The entire alchemical-celestial process is included in the stages of the Creation of the Bere'schít = Book of the WORK in the Beginning = (Gen. 6:1,2,4). In China, alchemy is millennial, and its soteriological contents are immersed in a formal and educated structure with a proven holistic and integral structure, similar in India. "By studying Indian alchemy, I discovered its organic relationships with yoga and tantra, that is, with specific psychomental techniques." (12) The fundamental principle of the Spiritual OPUS is that the substances=internal metals represent in Man and spiritual environment, the same procedure that takes place in Heaven=Macrocosm between astrological-planetary components of the body of the same Man=Microcosm. Abbot Trithemius knew this sacred science that passes=Golden Chain to his disciples Paracelsus and Agrippa, who continue his chain of teachings. ''It has been traditionally accepted that several bishops helped to train Paracelsus, among them the famed alchemist Johannes Trithemius.'' (13) God-SOPHIA🌹 METRATON, She is the Key of the Mysterium-hieroglyph of Divine Mysteries-, as a faithful Reflecting Mirror and origin of the two principles = LIGHT-Darkness. Only through Sophia is Man=Ape freed from the Chains of Ignorance-Ambition-Hypocrisy. (14) Life is born from an original Chaotic Matter, and Divinity manifests in that Chaos to create Order=Ordo at Chaos. The Original Tradition of Art is millenary and its documentary liturgical tradition -later- is not the exclusive heritage of any people of the Near and Far East of Humanity. The ideas of renewal and cosmic-alchemical universalism belong to the deepest part of the human nature of the BEING, without any ethnic exclusivity. Light, Sun, and Spirit have no boundaries for the Children of Thoth-Hermes and The Rose. The Masters of the Rose seek the SOLAR Seed = SOPHIA and Golden Embryo, since a substantial portion of the Light = Logos spermatikos, is hidden in the darkness of the personal and Cosmic Athanor. The accursed angels teach the elaboration of a special gold, which resides in the heart of Man and is activated by the metallurgical-internal work of high sacred theurgy. Aurum Nostrum is not Oro Vulgar! ''... révélés par les anges rebelles, des secrets de L'Or et de L'argent, rapprochés de ceux de la magie et de L'Astrologie''... (15) Fall and Reintegration are: One and the Same Thing. Alchemy is a Way and Path of Life as Hiera Techne = Sacred Technique and KAIROS in Alchemical Operation. That Kairos is the exact-astrological moment in which things will have the expected result. Without the stars there is no true alchemy. Every good alchemist has the obligation to be an excellent astrologer. The Athanor is worked at its Precise Time! ''If the Principles with which one works are True and the Operations are Correct, the Effect must be true, and no other is the True Secret of the Philosophers (Sons of Hermes).'' (Philaletes, Ripley's Epistle) The spiritual master Pietro d'Abano (The Paduano-1250-ca.1317) it presents the astrological hermeticism of a nature controlled by the stars and full of angels and gods; zodiacal man in whose body the correspondences and signatures of the cosmos exist. Tradition of Master Pelagius. (pseudo-Democritus: 1st or 2nd century; Zosimus: 3rd century, Heliodorus, Synesius, Olympiodorus: 5th century or 6th century: and Pelagius) ONE IS THE ALL, through HIM the ALL, for HIM the ALL, in Him the ALL=''en to pan''. "One is the All, through it the All. and to him the All: If the All did not contain All, the All would be NOTHING." (16) It's through Sophia🌹 that the Wisdom of the Magnum Opus and the recognition of the Virginal Mirror of SOPHIA as a Mother who Raises Us are manifested. ''filius hominis fructus et virginis''= the Son of Man is the fruit of the Virgin. Without the Virginal Water and Celestial-Astrological Dew= (Mutus Liber), there is no possible existence, since: "Without Divine Water Nothing Exists." (Zosimus of Panopolis) The Egyptian Keme designates the Black Earth = al-kimiya which suggests the Natural-Saturnal state of the Alchemical Opus and transmission of primary darkness; Urgrund = Nothingness. For, the Pure Deity rests in Itself. (J. Boehme) The synthesis of the High Art and Opus Sacred, are unified in the tolerant and diverse Alexandria, but; Opus Dei is millennial and was not born there, and not even at that time. Traditions that historically are collected among other older ones of goldsmith art and the elaboration of precious stones = (amulets, glass, talismans). Undoubtedly, together with the operational and practical phase, the ramifications of Art are extremely complex and diverse. Alchemy is the Science of the Order of Nature and strictly follows the Natural order of things and cosmic cycles. They are similar to the stages of Creation and the true embodiment of the regime of the athanor' which is, Cosmic-astrological Thing. ''In the realm of spiritual matters, third century Alexandría witnessed the flowering of Christian Platonists, Clement and Origen among others.'' (17) The Tradition of the Masters of La Flor🌹 study all possible documents that shed light and constant clarity. (Valuable manuscripts: Ms. 299 of St. Marc, Venice, eleventh century; Manuscript Ms.2327 from the National Library of Paris (1478-copied by Pelekanos de Corfou) The Master Alchemists of La Flor🌹 of GOLD continue the GOLDEN Chain of Wisdom, which is embodied through a rigorous and complex internal-external process of renewal of the cosmos; inside and outside of Man Himself = Man Know Thyself... This is The Way or Path of the Ars Regia and Royal Art. We must learn to recirculate the IGNEA Light that is produced within the Body through the Controlled Fire and Blessed Power of Isis Mother or Sophia, Seed, Pearl and GOLDEN FLOWER. The angels are responsible for the fall, and it is only through them that the Trumpet will be SOUNDED to call the Adepts and come out of the Mutus LIBER. Sacred alchemy is the sin of angels with women=(Sophia🌹), and only them=(Sophia🌹) lead to the Paradise of the Serpent Ventricular or Talking Serpent. Angels educated women🌹 originally in magic-theurgical-tantric magics, incantations, magical signs, tinctures, and distillations. Only a Flaming Sword Cherub indicates the Way. ''Angeli peccatores illecebras detexerunt, aurum, argentum et opera eorum tradiderum''... (Tertullian, On Idolatry, IX, D) The Path is the Ascension Ladder of Return to the Soul and to the nest of the SOLAR Phoenix and Pelican Bird through the 7 Circles and 15 steps of Light-Dark. It is straight or spiral... You decide. But remember our motto: "Patience is the ladder of the Philosophers, and Humility the Gate of their Garden."
