Introduction to Alchemy

Manhattan NYC, NOVEMBER 19-20-21, 2011

A weekend workshop with an extra Advanced Monday guided and taught by Aurelius Electrum, from Canada.

animal sunIn this practical alchemy course we will learn the history of Hermetic Mysticism and the techniques used by the fathers of modern chemistry, herbology and medicine. We'll look at various laboratory apparatuses, their description, set-up and use, as well as laboratory safety. This weekend followed by its optional Monday workshop, will provide a wide spectrum of alchemical teachings.

Join us in uncovering the ancient history and modern use of this unique state of matter. ORMUS or m-state materials are thought to be the precious metal elements in a different atomic state. Aurelius Electrum is an eclectic researcher and educator from Canada who has spent the last twenty years studying various forms of esoteric knowledge and phenomena including Alchemy and Sacred Geometry.

Learn how you can capture and utilize these amazing elements in your own kitchen. Walk in the footsteps of the ancients and cross the bridge of time into the latest understanding of quantum mechanics, bio-medicinal properties and permaculture applications of these amazing substances.

yantraIn the late 1970s an Arizona farmer named David Hudson noticed some very strange materials as he was doing some soil restoration on his land. Hudson spent several million dollars over the following decade figuring out how to obtain and work with these strange materials. Aurelius will demonstrate how you too can experience the benefits of these unique substances.

Your Sponsor, Roger Green, has just returned from a desert in UAE, where along with other technologies, URMUS was made and applied to its desert sands to help grow crops. Urmus is also taken internally with remarkable healing properties. You will learn how to make it, keep it and use it. You will walk away with your own bottle of URMUS for use over the following months.

What Is Alchemy

azothWe know that chemistry is defined as 'The science of the composition, structure, properties, and reactions of matter, especially of atomic and molecular systems' and that chemistry is the lineal descendent of Mediaeval and Ancient Chemy. The word alchemy comes from the Arabic 'al kima'. The syllable AL is the Arabic indefinite article, like the Hebrew letter He (hey), meaning 'The'. We will be looking closer at the Hebrew alphabet and Kabbalah later in the course. Alchemy therefore means 'the chemistry' or the 'higher chemistry', however the definition of the second half of the word has been obscured in history. Some believe the word to have come from the Egyptian word 'chem', meaning 'black' and relating to the description of Egypt as 'The land of the black soil'.

The 'black soil' referring to the silt deposits from the annual flooding of the Nile river. Others believe it more likely to have derived from 'chyma', a Greek word relating to the casting or fusing of metal. There seems to be other related Greek words like 'chymos', meaning 'plant juice', and 'chylos', a similar word but with the attribute of 'taste'. It appears as if the early roots of working with metals and the extraction of juices from plants were closely linked. The earliest use of the modern word Alchemy is found in the works of Julius Firmicus Maternus, the Astronomer, who lived in the fourth century, in the time of the Emperor Constantine. However, regardless of where the word 'alchemy' began, it has come to mean a very special form of spiritual development.

About MONO ATOMIC TRACE ELEMENTS

plants on ormusExamples of using our unique MONO Atomic Trace elements, and the massive effect they have on growth and resistance to disease and pests. 

Leyland Minter, in the picture with Roger Green, is owner of Australia’s largest Organic Garden supplies, and is demonstrating the trials he did with only using Mono Atomic “Ormus” trace elements on his plants. Notice in his left hand, these plants were given ormus and nothing else – and are 4-6 times larger.

High Spin State Superconducting Matter

The term ORMUS comes from Orbitally Rearranged Monatomic Elements (ORMEs), an attempt to describe the nature of this unusual phenomenon. The ORME represents a huge subject area, involving state-of-the-art chemistry, physics, physiology and interpretations of Sumerian, Egyptian and other histories including the alchemical western esoteric traditions.

The precious metals known to exist in this 'ormes' state (known as the “light platinum group”) are cobalt, nickel, copper, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, silver, and osmium, iridium, platinum, and gold (known as the “heavy platinum group”). These minerals are known as super conductors and can in a monatomic, super deformed, high spin, and low energy state, lose their chemical reactivity and metallic nature, thereby resulting in a state of Superconductivity. These precious metals have the unique ability to remain stable in the monatomic form, which can then lead to effects ranging from Levitation (weight losses) to Zero-Point Energy applications and to fundamental biological and/or human physiological effects.

Roger Green and Leyland Minter‘Orbitally Rearranged Monatomic Elements’ for example Monatomic Gold was the element of choice for many of the ancient major civilizations. It was used by the ancient Egyptians, Sumerians, & Hebrews.  The ancient Egyptians called this stuff "mfkzt". The texts of the Old Kingdom gave the Philosophers' Stone many names. It was called the golden tear from the eye of Horus, “that which issues from the mouth of the Creator” (the Christian Word), and the “spittle or the semen of the Father in Heaven”. With the rise of the Heliopolian Amun, it later became the hidden Light, the unknowable name of the God whose title was Amun and whose symbol was the ram.

The modern name is ORMUS, ORME and White-Gold. It has also been known as an elixir, Manna, Shewbread, the snot, monatomic elements, AuM, the polymers, m-state,  Shem-an-na, micro clusters, super deformed high-spin elements, exotic atoms, Semen of the Gods, Schefa Food, Bread of the Presence of God, MFKZT, Elixir of Life, the lapis, the Sophic Hydrolith of the Wise, Erinaes Philothes Philolithes, Apa itu, Batu Surgawi, Bubuk Putih, Manna dan Salwa, chrysopoeia, dew, occult gold, aurum potable, water of gold, and The Philosophers’ Stone.

This and various other names have been used by Alchemists and by high priests of ancient civilizations. Ormus is the material alchemists have sought: the magic elixir of longevity. The Philosopher's Stone was an alchemical "medicine" sought by alchemists in order to bring about a permanent transmutation of base metals into gold. The Philosopher's Stone had several names, including the "materia prima" and the "magnum opus”. Many "recipes" for the Philosopher's Stone were concocted throughout the centuries, usually either containing a silver or gold alloy which could be changed again into the pure metal, making alchemists believe that the metal had been transformed, or a "white or yellow metallic alloy superficially resembling silver or gold". Only a small quantity of the Philosopher's Stone was said to be required in order to transform large quantities of base metals into gold.

alchemy workspaceAlchemy. - The word is derived from the Arabian phrase "al-kimia," which refers to the preparation of the Stone or Elixir by the Egyptians. The Arabic root "kimia" comes from the Coptic "khem" that alluded to the fertile black soil of the Nile delta. Esoterically and hieroglyphically, the word refers to the dark mystery of the primordial or First Matter (the Khem), the One Thing through which all creation manifests. Alchemy, then, is the Great Work of nature that perfects this chaotic matter, whether it is expressed as the metals, the cosmos, or the substance of our souls.

It is believed that the various unusual properties of ORMUS make it difficult to detect using standard analysis methods. ORMEs are virtually undetectable by conventional means because they lack a d-orbital electron. However, they do show a distinguishing infrared doublet located between 1400 and 1600 cm-1. They are extraordinary elemental substances. They are thought to be mainly precious metals, in which the electrons are re-arranged in such a way as to render them non-metallic, chemically non-reactive and, under some conditions, superconductive.

When natural source elements are transformed into ORMUS, they no longer display original properties (toxic when ingested), but assume a nontoxic, easily assimilated form. Using processes developed after years of research, and rediscovered from ancient traditions, some source elements may be transformed into ormus, such as seawater, lava and salts. Certain super foods and super herbs concentrate the 'orme' minerals more than other foods.

distilation trainOrmes are found in every organism including the human body. Essiac tea, sheep sorrel, aloe vera and slippery elm bark are high in rhodium and iridium if grown in volcanic soil. Magnesium, calcium and other minerals are also found in trace form. Rhodium orme is non-toxic, even at high concentrations. Rhodium and ruthenium play an important role in our DNA. The ormes iridium and gold speed up the metabolism of the body, possibly by up to 40 %, and they do not enter the bloodstream nor the kidneys, but rather enter the acupuncture system of channels and meridians, spinal cord and thymus.

ORMUS is concentrated in volcanic soils. Plants grown in these soils absorb it, growing healthier with substantially more nutrients. Food with this energy supports proper nutrient absorption & toxin elimination, balances your body's pH, and repairs & regenerates cells. ORMUS energy may be how our cells communicate with our consciousness.


Note: THERE IS NO MEDICAL ADVICE HERE! Just information….

More than a decade ago, David Hudson, a farmer in Phoenix Arizona, stumbled upon the fabulous Philosophers' Stone while trying to mine and refine gold on his farm. He realized with some excitement that he had discovered a repeatable formula. Even better, his formula could be scaled-up from a laboratory to a chemical plant. This was something that had eluded alchemists for at least three thousand years. Hudson's discovery is now a controversial subject at the forefront of pharmaceutical and industrial technologies based on high spin state mono-atomic or single atom elements of iridium, rhodium and gold. He has developed high spin mono-atomic states for many of the transition elements including gold. David Hudson believes that White gold’s unique among the monatomic elements because it is able to correct DNA deficiencies by a denaturing process. He hypothesizes that eating larger doses of monatomic elements may decelerate the aging process and perhaps even reverse it. White gold would relax the damaged and allow it to correct and recombine.

PythagorusDavid Hudson is a fourth generation Arizona farmer who became interested in extracting gold and silver from the tailings of old mining sites near his 675-acre farm. When he began the recovery process he soon discovered that gold and silver were being lost because of the buildup of powdery substance referred to as "ghost gold" by many miners and metallurgists. Hudson’s curiosity led him to work with spectro scopist’s at Cornell University and other labs to discover the elemental ingredients of this powder. Initial findings of the sample yielded iron, silica, and aluminum. Further extraction of these elements left 98% of the powder intact. The surprise was that this 98% consisted of nothing, which could be identified through normal spectro scopic analysis. Hudson knew that this "nothing" could be seen, felt, tasted and weighed. It had to be SOMETHING and he was determined to find out what IT was.

In the course of his research he found a paper from the Soviet Academy of Sciences stating that proper spectroscopic analysis requires a 300 second burn instead of the 15 second burn used in the United States. Utilizing the Soviet technique of fractional vaporization, Hudson discovered that his sample contained the elements palladium, platinum, ruthenium, rhodium, iridium and osmium. Even more astounding was his discovery that each of the nonmetallic elemental forms was a superconductor, a substance that allows an electric current to flow without resistance even in the absence of a continually applied potential. Hudson continued his research and found four papers by the U.S.

Naval Research Facility showing that cells of living tissues communicate with each other by a process identical to superconductivity, but the nature of the superconducting substance was unknown. On a hunch, Hudson analyzed the brain tissue of pigs and cattle and found the brain dry matter weight was 5% rhodium and iridium! As a result of Hudson's research, he knew that the electrons flowing through a superconductor pair off and are converted to a light frequency in the process. He theorized that this might be the same process occurring in human cells. Hudson discovered papers published by Bristol-Myers-Squibb Laboratories and others, which indicated intense experimentation was being done utilizing precious elements in the treatment of cancer. These elements were shown to interact with the cell by a vibration frequency or by light transfer to correct the mutant DNA. When Hudson applied his proprietary method of analysis to Essiac Tea (an alternative treatment for cancer), he discovered high levels of rhodium and iridium. He also found that Acemannan, a derivative of the aloe Vera plant currently being tested on AIDS patients, is 90% rhodium

alchemy symbolAnd a quote from David Hudson in this specific regard, he stated: "I'm not a doctor, so I can’t practice medicine. Anything that is administered to someone for the purpose of curing a disease is medicine ... My purpose in this was not to cure diseases and illness, but I did want to know: Does it work? ... I can tell you, it's been used on Lou Gehrig's disease; it's been used on MS; it's been used on MD; it's been used on arthritis ... I can tell you that at 2 mg. a day it totally has gotten rid of Kaposi Sarcomas (KS) on AIDS patients (there's 32,000mg. in an ounce, 2mg. is nothing).  And it gets rid of KS.  I can tell you that for people who have taken it at 2mg. injections, within 2 hours their white blood cell count go from 2,500 to 6,500. I can tell you that Stage-4 cancer patients have taken it orally, and after 45 days have no cancer any place in their body."

ORMUS exists in scientifically unseen and immeasurable places. For instance, when a tree is planted in a pot, placed in appropriate light and watered regularly, it will grow, gaining in mass & weight. Research has proven that this growth is more than the sum of the pot, plant, soil, water and light. Plants are capable of forming elements that did not preexist in their external environment. Some believe the gain is from absorbing and concentrating the ORMUS elements from the soil and light they grow in.

When a body ingests this ORMUS energy, the vital life force, holy spirit, prana or chi is enhanced, producing extraordinary healing & rejuvenating effects for your body, mind and soul. Ancient seers around the world considered this to be the elixir of longevity.

Nano particles

alchemy workNano particles are much smaller than atoms, one-billionth of a meter in size (twenty million nanos are the size of one atom). While our visible world is three-dimensional (having width, length & depth), a nano is two-dimensional: if it were turned on its side, it would disappear. Without depth or weight, but with a large surface area, a Nano holds an enormous amount of energy. It is this two-dimensional characteristic that gives a nano its incredible amount of un-spent energy. But this energy is not in every atom. Very few sources of this power exist in concentrated quantity. Nano particles containing ORMUS are abundantly available in nature and can be extracted from volcanic sources, gold bearing ores & sands, and seawater. They can also be produced from precious metals, using ancient, but recently rediscovered alchemical techniques.

It looks like these are an entirely new class of materials.

The primary form in which gold occurs in seawater is in its monatomic state. Nowhere is this symbiosis more evident than in the cross benefit between deep ocean created ORMES like materials - combined with the correct- so called ‘Effective Microorganisms’ for agriculture.

ORMUS Book list

Robert Cox, Stuart Nettleton and Laurence Gardner. These three gentlemen have written fine books with the ORMUS materials as a main subject. Rob's book The Pillar of Celestial Fire discusses these materials primarily from the Hindu and Egyptian historical perspectives. Stuart’s book The Alchemy Key discusses these materials primarily from the Middle Eastern and Masonic historical perspectives. And Laurence Gardner's books Genesis of the Grail Kings and Lost Secrets of the Sacred Ark discuss these materials from the perspective of the Sumerian, Egyptian and Hebrew traditions. Here are some quotes from Laurence Gardner:

“So, given the facilities of today's scientific advancement and our knowledge of atoms and nuclei, is it possible (as it was in the distant past) to convert gold into a sweet-tasting, ingestible white powder? Is it possible for that powder to outweigh its optimum weight of gold? Is it also possible for that it powder to underweight itself and to weigh less than nothing? Under such circumstances, is it possible that the powder can disappear from sight into another dimension of space-time and then be returned to its original state? The answers to each of these questions is 'yes' — for this is the post-Star Fire mystery of the Phoenix, and it is the key to the Messianic bloodline enhancement through the fire-stone. As to why the firestone was called 'high ward' by the ancient Mesopotamians, we shall now discover as we enter the realm of high spin metallurgy. (Then he goes on to discuss David Hudson)"The 17th-century philosopher, Eirenaeus Philalethes (revered by Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle, Elias Ashmole and other Royal Society colleagues of his era), produced a work in 1667 entitled’ Secrets Revealed'. In this treatise he discussed the nature of the Philosophers' Stone, which was commonly thought to transmute base metal into gold. Setting the record straight, Philalethes made the point that the Stone was itself made from gold, and that the philosopher's art was in perfecting this process. He stated: "Our Stone is nothing but gold digested to the highest degree of purity and subtle fixation. It is called a stone by virtue of its fixed nature; it resists the action of fire as successfully as any stone. In species it is gold, more pure than the purest; it is fixed and incombustible like a stone, but its appearance is that of a very fine powder".

READ MORE ON ORMUS

The discovery of ORMUS elements is today's equivalent of the discovery of E=MC, it is that significant, and will be recognized so as more applications evolve.

androgonyORMUS (sometimes referred to as ORME or m-state elements) is a unique form of matter predicted by Einstein in the 1920s and scientifically confirmed in 1995 by Eric Cornell and Carl Wieman in Boulder, Colorado. ORMUS elements have the same number of protons and electrons as their mineral counterparts that are found on the Periodic Table of Elements. The difference is in how the elements spin.

Some rapidly spinning elements form what are known as 'Cooper pairs'-electron pairs that become bound together as they spin. ORMUS elements are highly stabilized and chemically inert-they are no longer capable of interacting with other elements. In this state, the ORMUS elements are extremely bioavailable. They can be absorbed easily and rapidly by plants and other organisms.

ORMUS-Anti-aging minerals, the cutting edge of superfood nutrition

Learn the powerful healing effects of these minerals. Learn how to make them in your own home and save hundreds of dollars.

As monatomics (single, isolated atoms), and proven to being a superconductor, they exhibit many "supernatural" properties, such as existing simultaneously in two or more places at once, or under certain circumstances, disappearing from our 3D physical reality into other "dimensions" of reality, then reappearing.

Monatomic elements also have substantial healing properties. These elements exist in the body, particularly in the nervous system. Many plants contain monatomic elements as well, interwoven within the botanical molecules. ORMUS elements are in the human brain and comprise up to 5-6 percent of physical matter. David Hudson, the modern day re-discoverer of Ormus minerals, estimated that as much as 5% of the dry matter weight of our nervous system could be Ormus minerals (formerly mistaken as carbon, iron, and other minerals).

laboratoryBone density improves when rich, mineralized foods are eaten, especially food and supplements rich in magnesium, silicon, calcium, ormus minerals, and trace minerals.

According to some research, the more people can increase the amount of these super-conductive elements in their body, the greater the body's capacity is to heal itself. The immune system is nothing more than a communication system, and by increasing the speed and efficiency of cell to cell communication, the body can then more easily identify and eliminate disease.

Another hypothesis is that monatomic elements also clear distortions in the DNA molecule. Monatomic elements seem to increase the level of photons in the cells, as well as reorganizing their active function to promote health

Many believe in the "ormes community' that when ingested, the ORMUS elements enter the blood stream and pervade the body. Because they are chemically inert, their effects cannot be due to chemical reactions in the body, but due to an energetic effect. ORMUS elements simply sit in the cells, where they generate the subtle Essence of life. By increasing the Essence in the body on a cellular level, more spiritual intelligence can be expressed through both the mind and body, thus enabling the body and mind to attain a more integrated, holistic state of functioning.

Particles that spin faster also vibrate at higher frequencies and they possess greater energetic potential. Recent research indicates that the addition of ORMUS (via soil water and as a foliar application), can improve plant growth and vigor up to several times normal conditions. For the gardener, the addition of ORMUS-containing solutions means greater plant vigor, enhanced nutritional status, improved flavor, insect resistance, drought and cold tolerance-and significantly improved plant yield.

Anti-aging minerals with Ormus Gold

Sacred Geometry expert Dan Winter comments that:

"because of this quantum recursion optimized in gold's electron valency, when gold is made soluble in blood, it has the function of creating wormhole magnetic implosion in the blood. Implosion is the ultimate connectivity device, and sorts by shareablity of function among waves.

We know that the electric field (phase conjugate dielectric) around Gold Powder / Manna / Ormes / The Spice- later called 'Holy Communion'- was called by the Hebrews: "The Plains of Sharon" (ref: author Gardner - in "Sacred Ark") - BECAME THEIR NAME FOR HEAVEN. Take your memories- to someplace your bank account can't go? "

The alchemical process of making gold soluble in blood, the white powder Elixir of Immortality of the medieval alchemists, has been described at length by another post-modern alchemist, David Hudson.

Basically, ionized gold particles are subjected to a powerful and recursively shaped capacitive charge. The gold particles then do a pop-corn-like inside-out maneuver in their electron geometry. David Hudson suggests that it's now soluble in the blood. As Dan Winter noted: "Gold as a valence atomic fractal makes field effect sorting by implosion happen in the blood artificially making immune systems sustainable."

It appears that the key to great physical longevity is the discovery of a method for effecting the repair of DNA. Accumulated damage to the DNA has been called one of the major factors in aging. It is also generally considered to be a major factor in cancer, aids and other degenerative diseases. David Hudson in his lectures and workshops claims that the ORMUS materials have reversed the progress of cancer and other diseases. Hudson suggests that this reversal is the result of the repair of DNA which is facilitated by the ORMUS elements.

Here is a quote on this subject from David Hudson's Portland, Oregon lecture:

"They claimed that it perfects the cells of the body. Well I can show you tomorrow Bristol-Myers-Squib research that shows that this material inter-reacts with DNA, correcting the DNA. All the carcinogenic damage, all the radiation damgae, all is corrected from these elements in the presence of the cell. They don't chemically inter-react with it, they just correct the DNA."

pilgrimVortex Trap - Magic Healing Water

If you spin water in a vortex inside a strong magnetic field you can get a portion of the water to levitate out of the field. Using a "trap" based on this principle one can concentrate this kind of water. This water has a sweeter taste than ordinary water, it has an oily feel and it contains a higher percentage of the ORMUS elements.

The "good" water is measurably different from ordinary water in that an "oil" can be extracted from it using a solvent like ether. This is the alchemists "oil that doesn't burn" and they say it is the universal solvent; it will even dissolve gold.

Alchemy

Alchemy is one of the world's oldest traditions -- a unique blend of science and spirituality that has the potential to create a new vision of the world. Alchemy offers a way of living in accord with the basic patterns of the universe that can result in magical transformations in your life. Since ancient Egyptian times, alchemists have worked in secret to produce something called the Philosopher's Stone,or the Elixir of Life, what the Egyptian's called Mfkzt, or what Mozes called Manna.

The ancient Egyptians used the cone shape to energize their mfkzt, (ORMES) which was described as a white bread made from gold. The mfkzt is probably related to the Biblical manna and shewbread which may have been charged in the Ark of the Covenant.

Spagyrics is a way of separating and preserving the hidden qualities (signatures) of plants and minerals in elixirs, tinctures, and powders. The result are subtle yet powerful medicines free of the impurities normally associated with their gross material forms. By learning to make tinctures and elixirs and work only with essences, you will become healthier, mentally clearer, and spiritually stronger for the challenges of the Great Work ahead.
