This is the whole goal with living a righteous, Christ like,or a Buddha type of life. We must learn to resist the fire within, for the serpent in which we need to tame to reach internal imperfection, so that it may be protected by the external perfections. This fire and our passions are fueled by the chemical compound of Sulfur, or what the bible has consigned to Hell via the fiery lake of burning sulfur. Sulphur is the caustic agent that burns away the imperfect matter in order to purify it so we can be self-consciousness with the ability to reason. Salt is the preservative principle such as in water or our DNA, representing untapped knowledge or an unenlightened state, that is our human storehouse of past lives, knowledge and the subconscious. Mercury represents the illuminated man, the Christ or Buddha who we can call enlightened. When we conquer our passions, desires and the material world, we then become our own Christs, King Solomon’s, Grand Architects of our own temples who live like divine Saints in our own right. In the book, Hermetic Chemistry (1894) by Paracelsus and author Arthur Edward Waite, it explains this process; This operation is esteemed by the Magi as a mixture and conjunction by the uniting of three constituents, body, soul, and spirit. When this union is completed there results from it a pure Mercury. Now if this, when flowing down through its subterranean passages and veins, meets with a chaotic Sulphur, the Mercury is coagulated by it according to the condition of the Sulphur. It is, however, still volatile, so that scarcely in a hundred years is it transformed into a metal. Hence arose the vulgar idea that Mercury and Sulphur are the matter of the metals, as is certainly reported by miners. It is not, however, common Mercury and common Sulphur which are the matter of the metals, but the Mercury and the Sulphur of the philosophers are incorporated and inborn in perfect metals, and in the forms of them, so that they never fly from the fire, nor are they depraved by the force of the corruption caused by the elements. Our corporeal bodies are animated by the soul. Corporeal means “of the body” and animated means “of the soul” because of “anima”, which is Latin for soul. Salt is the body made mostly of water and christ seasulphur is the soul that becomes animated by the DNA in which when you properly align or balance these chemical properties in yourself, you can then communicate through the chemical “mercury” that is spirit, which then creates “gold” for the Adept who has found the light or Philosophers Stone. He is in line with the AS ABOVE, SO BELOW and can create on the AS WITHIN, AS WITHOUT. In Sir Issac Newtons, La Lumiere sortant des Tenebres (The Light Coming forth from the Darkness) he wrote: The philosophers have given sulfur, or fire, the name gold not for nothing, because it is truly gold both in essence and in substance, but much more perfect than common gold. It is a gold that is completely sulfur, or rather a true sulfur of gold, a gold that is entirely fire, or the true fire of gold that develops; in philosophical caves and mines; a gold that cannot be changed or surpassed by any element, because it is itself the master of elements; a very fixed gold in which is only fixity; a very pure gold, because it is purity itself; a very powerful gold because without it everything else pines away; a balsamy gold, because it preserves all bodies against decomposition; an animal gold because it is the soul of elements of the entire lower nature; a vegetable gold, because it is the principle of the entire vegetation; a mineral gold, because it is sulfury, quicksilvery, and salty; an ethereal gold, because it is of heavenly nature and it is a true earthly heaven that is veiled by another heaven; finally it is a solar gold, because it is the rightful son of the Sun and the true Sun of Nature; its power gives force to the elements of which the warmth vivifies the souls and of which the movement of the entire Nature is brought into movement; from its influence the power of things arises, because it is the influence of the light, a part of the heavens, the lower Sun and the Light of Nature, without which even science would be blind; without its warmth reason would be stupid; without its rays imagination would be dead; without its influences spirit is sterile; and without its light intellect renaming in eternal darkness.
