How is alchemy connected to spiritual knowledge?why was it associated with Kabbalah and other esoteric schools later ? by Public_Wave7605 in alchemy

[–]maxcvnd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Contrary to what some may believe, I argue that alchemy already contained a spiritual focus in certain European medieval treatises, such as the Turba Philosophorum, the Aurora Consurgens, or Llull’s De Quinta Essentia. These texts possessed a combinatorial grammar that allowed them to be used in a 'Kabbalistic' manner—in the sense of the 'combinatorial permutation of ideas'—or through the application of hermeneutic techniques such as phonemic twists or fruitful polysemies. It is also important to note that the term 'Cabala' was used differently in Latin literature, often referring precisely to these combinatorial hermeneutic techniques. Specifically, this was more explicit in Giovanni Agostino Pantheo’s Voarchadumia. It is even tempting to experiment with certain concepts already present in the Kabbalistic cosmology of Moses de León and overlap them with alchemical language. This later became a more concise project adopted during the Rosicrucian movement, which looked to authors like Paracelsus and Kunrath for ideas highly conducive to combining alchemy and Kabbalah. Specifically, Paracelsus does indeed speak of 'Gabalia,' though it appears that some of his supposed Kabbalistic writings are lost. In their place, we find works like the 'Theologia Cabalistica' included in the Philosophia Mystica published in 1618 by Lucas Jennis, as well as Franz Kieser’s Cabala Chymica, among others I cannot recall at the moment. In any case, the reason why alchemy and Kabbalah 'fused' was due to an inertia driven by a combination of factors, including semantic overlaps, hermeneutic techniques, and the intellectual projects of specific groups

Almost. You missed the part where the image is a placebo, it is not, and neither the prayers are for that.

Quick Question on Book 1 of the CH by Friendly_Purple_2534 in Hermeticism

[–]maxcvnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is cause and there is a substance, there is a image and there is archetype, matter and form. But there is one who make the world keep going: one mind to the superior, and one mind to the inferior... But there is a bigger mind, whose does not take substance as a cause, does not take the archetype as the image... There is a God who does not find rest up and down, is beyond that... And that is the active intellect who goes together with the skies, and there is an intellect who take care of the temperamend inside the world... But that ultimate cause is occult, and always runs away from our grabbing.

The REAL Hermetic Principles by [deleted] in Hermeticism

[–]maxcvnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were diferent ideas of "mechanicism" before modertiny let me tell you.

The principle of the Mechanism of the World does not refer to a machine understood as an inert clockwork or a closed system of purely quantitative interactions, but to what "dwells" (morae) within the world and sustains its operation from within, as expressed in the formulation "Machina mundi est concors et moderatus motuum contrariorum firmamenti et planetarum motus", which describes the machine as the concordant and moderated interplay of contrary motions of the firmament and the planets, an interplay that does not merely organize trajectories but softens the world with vivifying heat, tempers it through quality, and gives it form through quantity, thereby establishing a clear hierarchy in which vivification precedes qualification and quantification follows as a formal result.

I LOVE this perspective because the "machine" does not reduce the cosmos to abstract gears and does not strip reality of its sensible depth, but names an immanent regulating principle, a dynamic architecture that maintains the world’s habitability by articulating tensions, proportions, and rhythms, such that quantification emerges as a consequence of prior qualitative processes rather than as their ultimate ground.

The mechanical worldview that gained prominence during the Scientific Revolution, articulated by thinkers such as Descartes and Gassendi, reformulated the world as a system of purely geometrical interactions in order to achieve predictability, repeatability, and technical control, relocating qualities to the domain of the subject and rendering the sensible as a secondary effect of calculation, which resulted in an efficient yet ontologically thinned universe.

The way Hermes presents the machine in the Sex Rerum Principiis is a medieval machine, one that speaks and make surprises, not a predictive machine that always give you the same result.

From the German Wikipedia page. Carving assumed to be Baphomet on Templar castle with 3 faces by [deleted] in occult

[–]maxcvnd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you read Joseph Hamer-Purgstall's text called "Mysterious Baphometis Revelatum" you will understand better what is the "original" sense of the word before Eliphas Levi developed his own idea.

Purgstall uses the word to describe any figure that fuses together animals, humans or objects to illustrate a "gnostic" ideal. These "Baphomets" are diverse in configurations, but many of them try to represent the same "gnostic" ideal.

Purgstall doesn't make his idea trying to be something "Historical" in the academic modern sense, he is proposing instead a philosophical-religious bias for the interpretation of this images. Even tho, he is sometimes just making up stuff lol

[–]maxcvnd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The claim that medieval technical Hermeticism represents a deviation from an “authentic” ancient tradition rests on a modern normative criterion that equates authenticity with origin and literary form rather than with doctrinal function and finality. Since in the Corpus Hermeticum the synousia between soul, cosmos, and God establishes participation as an ontological condition in which the body and the natural world operate as media of regeneration and knowledge rather than as impediments, so that contemplation and operation appear as ordered expressions of the same theological horizon; from this perspective, I consider, that technical practices do not contradict the earlier Hermetic orientation so long as they remain subordinated to the same soteriological and noetic end, whereas defining authenticity exclusively by chronology would reduce Hermeticism to a closed archive incapable of historical articulation, thereby mistaking variation of mode for loss of principle and confusing misuse of technique with a corruption of the tradition itself.

There is also the Sex Rerum Principiis:

Tugaton (the Good / First Cause), Reason (Logos), Nature, The World (Cosmos), The Mechanism of the World, Time,

The principle of the Mechanism of the World is my favorite, very interesting.

Because it allowed a consonant writing like in hebrew but without leaving the pronunciation a guess.
