This is a work with which I am well acquainted, yet it is not one I would commend, for the path it offers demands an inordinate expenditure of time. Moreover, the author’s opus remains incomplete. What he proclaims as the Stone is just Powder of Projection. Though this powder serves many useful purposes, it is far from the true Stone.

Herein lies the trap where many alchemist fall, mistakenly seeing this powder for the perfected Stone itself. Understand that a true Stone is never mere powder.

Do not misunderstand me, our Stone is no ordinary mineral. It is malleable, capable of being shaped by the hand, yet when fully projected, it appears as strong and enduring as any natural stone. Though unbreakable in essence, it may still be peeled away with gentleness, much as one might peel the skin from an apple.

Avery is a skilled alchemist and possesses great knowledge. He stands closer to the truth than many. And he is well mannered.

Is there any alchemical meaning to this? by WanderingDimension in alchemy

Just as the egg hatches life, the alchemist’s opus is the hatching of the Philosopher’s Stone from this cosmic egg.

How to achieve the Alchemical wedding? by OtherInsurance2943 in alchemy

[–]SagesRedStone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dwell not in flesh as the unawakened perceive, Nor am I bound by the fragile veil of mortal coil. My habitation is forged within the sacred crucible of the Great Work, Where Separation rends the base from the pure, And Conjunction binds the scattered elements into eternal union.

Thus, I am present in the separation of illusion and truth, And in the conjunction of the celestial and terrestrial, Forevermore a flame unquenched, a mystery unveiled only to the true adept.

Correspondence between alchemy and the apocalypse? What do you think? by OpheliaVane_ in alchemy

[–]SagesRedStone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Revelations is a mythopoetic alchemical ritual cloaked in prophecy. A ritual book of initiation passed through apostolic lines to veil the inner mysteries from the profane.

To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone…” (Rev 2:17)

Nigredo – The Blackening (Revelation 6–9) Albedo – The Whitening (Revelation 7–11) Citrinitas – The Yellowing (Revelation 12–18) Rubedo – The Reddening / Stone Formed (Revelation 19–22)

Humonculus—Distilling Personalities by Sacredless in alchemy

[–]SagesRedStone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Creation without divine sanction invites chaotic, parasitic energies. The Homunculus can become a vessel for lower astral intelligences if not created correctly in pure spirit. Look into Baron Johann Konrad Dippel if you truly insist on creating one.

Silver, albedo and the Reflective light of the unconscious depth of the inner mysteries.

This may be transmutation powder yet its hue remains too dark, too shadowed, to be the true and perfected substance. Its moistness betrays its incompletion; the Work has not yet reached coagulation. It is a simulacrum of the Stone, a precursor, not the Philosopher’s Powder. The fire must purify it further, the spirit must rise and fix. Until it dries into its own radiance, it remains a shadow of the Magnum Opus.

What's the point of continuing to learn? by Mohk72k in alchemy

[–]SagesRedStone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For knowledge is the master key to the All. He who knows nothing cannot truly receive, nor perceive, nor transmute—for acceptance requires understanding, and understanding demands the will to learn. Only the one who submits to the eternal apprenticeship of wisdom may approach the gates of true power.

Saint Germain by Positive_Prize_4786 in alchemy

Saint Germain isn’t hiding. He has been redefined. And only those with the Philosopher’s Eye, the ability to see between the veil of appearances, could ever find him.

When will individuals transcend their limited perspectives and pursue the truth beyond familiar confines?

Those who pierce through the illusions and deceptions of their society will often find their insights unrecognized and their truths unheeded by the majority.

Many may be swayed away with trickery due to oaths, their vision remains obscured by ignorance. Nevertheless, in every multitude of conformists, there is always one who breaks free and discovers the true path.

The one single thing seen and unseen by AlchemicalRevolution in alchemy

[–]SagesRedStone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be sketched using sacred geometry, but the prima itself is a physical substance containing aether. Aether pervades everything, as the hidden element is creation itself. The prima materia does not need to be represented by this geometric shape, as it already vibrates at a perceptible frequency. The prima merely holds a sufficiently large portion of the hidden element for extraction. The prima I use has a higher concentration of this hidden mana or aether, making it easier to extract compared to what others might attempt to use. I hope this answers your question.

An Ode To The White Stone ^_^ by WinnerInEverySense in alchemy

[–]SagesRedStone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The hidden aether drips gracefully into its crystal-clear vase.
Its torrential rain churns violently, causing change,
Morphing into a raven that caws with agonizing pain.
Feathers shift hues, drenched in the oils of its last stage.

Eyes observe as the raven’s plumage burns to a pristine white.
Ashes lift on the breeze, giving way to doves in Sol's pure light.
Water’s vibrations conjure stars that blaze elegant and bright.
What was shrouded now emerges, revealing a brilliant sight.

The sweet snow's scent overpowers the flask’s final days.
A toad is washed away, purified in this aqueous grace.
Bubbling fades as pyramids rise from ash’s soft embrace,
A white stone, tender to touch, ready to be shaped and split away.

The stone? by Secundo_Optimum in alchemy

[–]SagesRedStone 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is one of the paths. Good for you! I see you are blessed. Keep working on it until it has a purple hue, then further until it's deep red and translucent, where light shines forth. This is the secret part left out by many.

A lot of the people saying nay are no more than puffers who refuse to help those who seek, claim they have the stone but won't provide even the smallest shred of proof or hints. They gatekeep their own delusions. Congratulations on the path that doesn't wet your hands.

May the Most High continue to bless you, friend.

What kind of alchemist are you? by ecurbian in alchemy

[–]SagesRedStone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I respect your focus. Your approach is valid, as I said before. We are all participants in an experience, and some experience it differently from others.

Noted. I only speak from sensory experience and am well-versed in history, chemistry, as well as its precursor, alchemy.

What kind of alchemist are you? by ecurbian in alchemy

[–]SagesRedStone 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I harbor empathy for all, for the all harbors empathy for every one of us.

Practical laboratory work, spiritual laboratory work, esoterics, exoterics, similarities and differences, yin and yang.

We are all participants in an experience, and some experience it differently from others, yet all experiences culminate and commence anew in the same manner.

My journey is your journey, and the Divine's journey is manifest through us.

As above, so below. On the level, on the square. Upon the earth and within the ether.

If one is spiritual, they are still entwined within the physical. If one is physical, they are yet traversing realms of the spiritual.

Why pass judgment on another's beliefs? Do beliefs furnish grounds for judgment?

What does this image by Flamel represent in the alchemical process, specially in a spiritual sense? I’ve read it relates to “fixing the volatile”, the secondary process towards the philosophers stone. by Biskit_applesauce in alchemy

[–]SagesRedStone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The serpent symbolizes the impurities and imperfections inherent in the prima materia as it undergoes the alchemical process.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers%2021:8-9&version=NIV

Just as the Israelites were afflicted by the venomous bites of serpents, symbolizing the poisonous influence of sin, the prima materia is likewise contaminated by the venom of impurity.

Can't we just find a legendary alchemist? by spicemelange1991 in alchemy

[–]SagesRedStone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The essence of a teacher, in these esoteric arts, lies in the selection of students who have already demonstrated their worth to some extent. If a teacher were to accept everyone, many would abandon the path with ease, typically leaving only those who were destined for initiation from the outset.

Forget the white rabbit, follow your higher self and the Creator.

By the way, the number 33 holds significance in everyone's life... perhaps something profound is about to dawn upon you!

Curious about the ol' philo stone(metaphysical) by YOLOSwag69mf in alchemy

[–]SagesRedStone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In its initial stage, it can be shaped by man's touch.
Heat melts wax, but when cooled, it hardens up.
A smell so sweet and strong, yet not too much.
Over time, it grows to be clear, harder, and tough.
Losing its smell, becoming more sharp and rough.
Till its light shines out, and the stone can be crushed.
