Excerpt from Azoth: Or, the Star in the East; Embracing the First Matter of the Magnum Opus, the Evolution of Aphrodite-Urania, the Supernatural Generation of the Son of the Sun, and the Alchemical Transfiguration of Humanity
Principle of Universal Development or Evolution. If we exclusively consider this principle so far as it is at work in the Kingdom of Humanity, we shall see that the Great fork is the amelioration, exaltation, or transmutation of the formless human race into the dual child of the Mystic Cross of c - to make use of Hermetic terminology - or, in other words, into the Perfect Man. And as the development of one such being out of the whole chaos of individuals, ever manifesting and vanishing with the ebb and flow of generations, would provide a transforming instrument, a living Snip/tar T fugens, to adopt another alchemi cal phrase, we thus find that the conception of a transmuting and colouring stone, and of a projecting powder which can exalt into its own nature any adaptable substance, irrespective of magnitude - things which are continually referred to in the allegories of the Philosophers - have a secret significance which points in the same direction, unto the Blessed Isles of the Elect Chil dren, which the alchemist prayed to behold in the parabolic vision of Mercury.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the ancient and enigmatic world of mysticism, exploring its profound insights into human potential and the secrets of the universe. Drawing inspiration from both Eastern and Western mystical traditions, the author presents a compelling vision of the "Great Work"ââ âthe transformation of the human being into a perfected state. Throughout history, mystics have sought to access a higher reality through various practices and experiences. This book examines these methods, including contemplation, meditation, and the cultivation of inner stillness. It also discusses the role of symbolism, allegory, and the "doctrine of correspondences" in understanding the hidden meanings of mystical texts. At the core of this work lies the belief that within each individual resides a divine spark, a potential for greatness that can be awakened through dedicated practice and self-discovery. The author argues that by aligning oneself with the laws of evolution, both physical and spiritual, one can embark on a transformative journey towards enlightenment and union with the divine. Ultimately, this book offers a profound and inspiring message: that the perfection of humanity is not merely a dream but a realizable goal. By embracing the principles of mystical philosophy, we can unlock the hidden powers within ourselves and contribute to the evolution of a more enlightened and harmonious world.
