Origins of the Alchemical Salt
The Salt from my interpretation is the “prana” or “life force” that is in all living things. We are born of
salt and die of salt in the physical, thus the salt is both the fires and the waters or Schamajim, which is
derived from the other Hebrew words of Fire, or Asche, and Water, or Amajim. It is used in the context
in the very beginning “Elohim created the heavens and the earth. Heavens was Schamajim in the
Hebrew Text. So this is an insinuation of the fiery waters and the watery fires; or pure fires. The Fires
of Creation is commonly used in the western Kabbalah. Now this automatically assumes the role of the
salt in the terms of “the beginning” due to the fact we are born of salt. Now when we look at the fire
sign which is a right side up Triangle and Water which is a Upside down Triangle we then find we can
mix the two and get the Schamajim. This is merely the description of the divine “salt” in my own
terminology. When we break it down the fires came first and the waters came second, or was the first
of the secondary elements. This world of pure fire is represented as by 1 in the Kabbalah as the kether.
But manifests the malkuth after the Heavens marking 10 or the physical. In the Pythagorean Method
10 can be broken down into 1. The unification of the two elements make the 13 mercies or the physical
man, or the Star of David; but this is only fully created when “earth” is mentioned after the “heavens”
and the Physical is declared with Wisdom and Understanding of these two elements.
If we look at the earth in essence we will see the further we are from the Equator the less salt the
oceans of the earth makes, this is really from the lack of direct Solar rays. The Emerald tablet states,
“The sun is its father, the mother its moon” marking the unification of the ONE THING,or Divine
enlightenment. So this “Salt” is the beginning and our innocence, but we become diluted with loss of
innocence the further we grow, so spiritually we are straying from the equator to produce the salt. Now
the closer you get to the Equator the more salt there is due to the fact the there are more direct sun
rays, meaning that within ourselves we have to get to that center of ourselves, or the Tiphareth, or the
Sun, or unification of the Fire and Water together to produce the most salt or, Life. There are many of
those in the mundane that forget the goal of the Spiritual Realm and they lack salt. The salt is the
reversion past the EGO into the higher state of consciousness. The more we revert to our true nature
we start to feel the TRUE essence of this SALT, it shows in our daily actions towards ourselves and
others. We must remember there are the external fires and fires and the internal fires and waters. The
real answers come from within the inner fires of our cores and we add the pressure of life to our core;
though the fires manifested the Will and the Trials tested the Will, it is the Intuition that acts from the
fire and all that matters is how much of that Will the intuition grabbed.
When we get a piece of coal that sets under the earth for millions of years it is under extreme heat and
pressure through vents and channels from withing the earth, then we get a diamond from the fire and
Pressure, but it takes the waters for the Coal to cool when it is ready. The diamond is the most precious
of all stones with its hardness test. It is hard due to the fact of perfect lunar and solar parts of creation
in the physical within the earth. The earth alone was created from the Sun and we were a huge ball of
magma that cooled from the outside in, creating layers like an onion. So this marks the “the earth was
without form and void” so the physical was created from the fires, thus cooled and formed the waters
from the heat. When we read the seed was spread by the Mother or the Waters. The most amazing part
is the seed was scattered to make vegetation, this seed was in the storms of the Earth as the Waters and
burning fires created the Carbon-monoxide atmosphere. The atmosphere created the seed to be spread
with the moisture for the plants to strive for the later creations. Even if we read on the spiritual level in
the Genesis it is amazing the vegetation comes before both the night and day luminaries, showing the
Wisdom of future creation. Thus the Earth was born. The Sun Manifested itself in the core of the earth
to formulate a copy of itself.
Now the external forces are used to created the internal forces without the untrained mind, but the
trained mind uses its internal forces to create the external environment, marking the TRUE SALT, fire
on the outside and water on the outside; or pure fire. It was from the Salt the Sulphate of the Earth was
made. It was from the salt even the Gold and Silver were made, and they can be reverted back to salt
depending on what the Chemist chooses to do. There is one verse in the bible that says, “SALT OF
THE EARTH” and this is a key note. The salt gives the GOLD and SILVER life. Salt is both The
Alchemical Gold and the Alchemical Silver. We must take what the solar and lunar rays manifested us
into and use them to find the first stage of the Salt. We need life to find out what the other side of the
door way is, to experience the Will
I learned that we must keep the salt maintained in the numerous amounts of activities in everyday life
to keep balance of the fire and water, so we are not mere table salt, but pure sea salt from the Equator.
The whole purpose of life is the extending of our arms to the Universe, or the Greatest Alchemist of
all. The balance of the Salt in everyday life is not perfect due to human imperfections and flaws. At
times we will refuse to see another persons side of the story in drama because we only wish to see our
perception, so there for we have killed the waters of understanding and turned our fires of Wisdom into
Self righteousness; thus we have salt that is from the Sulpher of the Earth that is deformed from lack of
water. There was very little understanding in the situation you were in, so the “SALT” you were at that
moment is incomplete. The Mechanics of Salt are based around how much of the the internal and
external four elements are impacting the SELF by how you interpret the experience. Thus when we
strive to be the “PURE SALT” we are exalted to the next degree of sulpher.
The Salt in the beginning phases and is ruled by mars and Pluto, which place the violence of Aries and
Scorpio into rule with this self change. Both Signs represent the same thing in a different fashion as
they are both the most dynamic energies of the signs. The Aries is the Head of knowledge and the
Scorpio is the reproductive organ, so you Will it with the head and manifest it with the seed of birth.
This is the very true for the alchemists into astrology for the beginning stages. Ares is a Cardinal sign
of initiation and Scorpio is the fixed sign of completion and is water. So like the Salt Ares is the
thoughts and Scorpio is the actions of the person that gives life. This is merely the first stage of duality
of fire and water that bring change constantly of which we are born from and die from in the beginning
and the end.
