Philosopher’s Stone Alchemy Symbol

The 'squared circle' or 'squaring the circle' is a 17th century alchemical glyph or symbol for the creation of the Philosopher's Stone. The Philosopher's Stone was supposed to be able to transmute base metals into gold and perhaps be an elixir of life.

The ‘squared circle’ or ‘squaring the circle.’

Alchemists sought to transmute one element intoanother, such as lead into gold. The philosopher’sstone was said to change base metals intoprecious metals. It was also called the elixir of lifeand was believed capable of yielding immortality.

The symbol for the philosopher’s stone was the squared circle. The symbol indicates the method of preparing the stone involved incorporating the four primary elements in just the right way.

Page 9: and the First Element of Tetramorph

Earth Element: earth was believed to be primarily dry, and secondarily cold. Beyond thoseclassical attributes, the chemical substance salt, was associated with earth and its alchemicalsymbol was a downward-pointing triangle, bisected by a horizontal line.

Earth represents traits of sensations, patience, stability, strength, health, grounding andcentering of energies, promoting peace, fertility, money, business success, stability, warmth,comfort and physical labor.

Air Element: The symbol for air or wind is an upright triangle crossed by a horizontal bar. Airrepresents our mental activity such as intellect and the ability to reason, memory, thoughts,knowledge and comprehension.

Water Element: In alchemy, the opposite of fire is water. The inverted triangle symbol is easy toremember because it resembles a glass or cup. The water symbol is associated with the colorblue. The symbol stands for female or feminine nature. Plato associated the water symbol with“wet” and “cold”

Fire Element: Alchemy symbol of fire is the upright triangle resembles a campfire or flame. Thefire symbol represents the colors red and orange. It also symbolizes the male or masculinenature. Plato associated fire with the properties of “dry” and “hot.”

Page 10: and the First Element of Tetramorph

Greek Philosophers credited for the concept of four elements- earth, air, water, fire

• Empedocles – originating the cosmogenic theory of 4 classical elements

• Plato - best known philosopher. He was the student of Socrates and the teacher of Aristotle. The Platonic solids are prominent in his philosophy

• Aristotle suggested that there was a fifth element, aether, because it seemed strange that the stars would be made out of earthly elements.

The hexagram has been used in India for thousands of years, and can be foundon ancient temples. The mystical union of the two triangles representsCreation, occurring through the divine union of male and female. The twolocked triangles are also known as 'Shanmukha'—the six-faced, representingthe six faces of Shiva & Shakti's progeny Kartikeya.

In Islam, the hexagram is referred to as the “Seal of Solomon,” and it adorns many mosques around the world.

The Star of David only became a distinctly Jewish symbol in the mid-14th century, when the Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV granted the Jews of Prague the right to carry a flag, and they chose the six-pointed star. From Prague, the use of the Star of David as an official Jewish symbol spread, and so began the movement to find Jewish sources that traced the symbol to the House of David.

Alchemy borrowed the idea from the Greek tradition that masculinity symbolizes wisdom, while femininity symbolizes nature; man is philosophy and woman is the physical world rams abound in alchemy,

7. The Mystic word I.N.R.I.

It is the initials of the Hebrew names of the ancient elements: Iaminim, water; Nour, fire; Ruach, air; and Iebschah, earth.

Christian INRI means (Latin: Iēsus Nazarēnus, Rēx Iūdaeōrum) represents the Latin inscription (in John 19:19), which in English translates to “Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews”,Jesus is connected with the Divine, leads many people to connect INRI with the Tetragrammaton the (or YHVHיהוה )sacred name of God from the Old Testament.

Alchemists adopted them to express the names of their three elementary principles salt, sulphur, and mercury by making them the initials of the sentence: Igne Nitrum Roris Invenitur Latin for “By fire the nitre of the dew is discovered”. Nitre is the mineral form of potassium nitrate or saltpeter.

Albert Pike, in Morals and Dogma, applies this concept in the 18th Degree: Infinity • Nature • Reason • Immortality

The Rosicrucians used them as the initials of one of their Hermetic secrets: Ignis Natura RenovatIntegram Latin for “Fire completely renews nature” or Igne Natura Rerun Vatur Integras meaning that by fire, nature is perfectly renewed.

8. GEMATRIA AND NUMEROLOGY

Gematria is an alphanumeric code of assigning a numerical value to a name, word or phrase based on its letters. People who practice gematria believe that words with identical numerical values may bear some relation to each other or to the number itself. A single word can yield multiple values depending on the cipher used.

Gematria originated as an Assyro-Babylonian-Greek system of alphanumeric code or cipher that was later adopted into Jewish culture. Similar systems have been used in other languages and cultures: earlier, the Greek isopsephy, and later, derived from or inspired by Hebrew gematria, Arabic abjad numerals, and English gematria.

The 72 Triads of YHVH Shem HaMephorash (Hebrew: שם המפורש , alternatively Shem ha-Mephorash or Schemhamphoras), meaning "the explicit

name," is an originally Tannaitic term describing a hidden name of God in Kabbalah (including Christian and Hermetic variants), and in some more mainstream Jewish discourses. It is composed of either 4, 12, 22, 42, or 72 letters (or triads of

letters), the latter version being the most common.

Shemhamphorash or the 72 Names of God

The 3 Verses in Exodus 14, Verse 19 – 21

19 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel,removed and went behind them, and the pillar of cloud went frombefore their face, and stood behind them,

20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptian and the camp ofIsrael, and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light bynight to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.

21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the LORDcaused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night and madethe sea dry land, and the waters were divided.

9. Astrology

Astrology is the study of the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies interpreted as having an influence on human affairs and the natural world.

Many cultures have attached importance to astronomical events, and some—such as the Hindus, Chinese, and the Maya—developed elaborate systems for predicting terrestrial events from celestial observations. Western astrology, one of the oldest astrological systems still in use, can trace its roots to 19th–17th century BCE Mesopotamia, from where it spread to Ancient Greece, Rome, the Arab world and eventually Central and Western Europe.

Throughout most of its history, astrology was considered a scholarly tradition and was common in academic circles, often in close relation with astronomy, alchemy, meteorology, and medicine

An evidence suggests that the oldest known astrological references are copies of texts made in the ancient world. The Venus tablet of Ammisaduqa is thought to have been compiled in Babylon around 1700 BCE. A scroll documenting an early use of electionalastrology is doubtfully ascribed to the reign of the Sumerian ruler Gudea of Lagash (c. 2144 – 2124 BCE).

Vedic Astrology

• Jyotisha or Jyotishya (from Sanskrit jyotiṣa, from jyóti- "light, heavenly body") is the traditional Hindu system of astrology, also known as Hindu astrology, Indian astrology and more recently Vedic astrology

• The foundation of Hindu astrology is the notion of bandhu of the Vedas (scriptures), which is the connection between the microcosm and the macrocosm. Practice relies primarily on the sidereal zodiac, which differs from the tropical zodiac used in Western (Hellenistic) astrology

• Rasi Zodiacal Signs - The Nirayana, or sidereal zodiac, is an imaginary belt of 360 degrees, which, like the Sāyana, or tropical zodiac, is divided into 12 equal parts. Each part (of 30 degrees) is called a sign or rāśi (Sanskrit: 'part'). Vedic (Jyotiṣa) and Western zodiacs differ in the method of measurement.

• Nakshatras

• The nakshatras or lunar mansions are 27 equal divisions of the night sky used in Hindu astrology, each identified by its prominent star

Zodiac Sign Representation

Fixed Earth Element Taurus

Taurus is an earth sign represented by the bull. Taurus is ruled by Venus, the enchanting planet that governs love, beauty, and money. Earth signs are “grounded” and the ones that bring us down to earth. They are mostly conservative and realistic, but they can also be very emotional. They are connected to our material reality and can be turned to material goods. They are practical, loyal and stable and they stick by their people through hard times.

10. TETRAMORPHA tetramorph is a symbolic arrangement of four differing elements, or the combination of four disparate elements in one unit. The term is derived from the Greek tetra, meaning four, and morph, shape.

In Christian art, the tetramorph is the union of the symbols of the Four Evangelists, derived from the four living creatures in the Book of Ezekiel, into a single figure or, more commonly, a group of four figures. Each of the four Evangelists is associated with one of the living creatures, usually shown with wings. The most common association, but not the original or only, is: Matthew the man, Mark the lion, Luke the ox, and John the eagle.

2000 AD – 4000 AD

According to occult science, in every 2,000 - 2,160 years approximately we have a new Astrological Age, which means a new constellation starts affecting the evolution on Earth. While the earth is rotating, there is a change in the orientation of the earth’s rotational axis, called Precession. One complete cycle of precession lasts slightly less than 25,000 years, meaning the spinning Earth goes through a little circular wobble about once every 25,000+ years. One cycle of Precession has been broken into 12 parts associated with 12 astrological ages, resulting in having 12 astrological ages corresponding to the 12 zodiac signs. The 12 zodiac signs each occupying 30 degrees of celestial longitude, and can all be seen along the ecliptic.

Aquarius is a symbol for electricity and other types of renewable energy.

During this new Age, we can expect new types of energies to be discovered.

Likely developments are artificial intelligence, space travel, and connections with other forms of life.

Aquarius is the most global sign of the zodiac – it rules networks and communities based on a mutual vision. In the next 2000 years, there’s no more place for top-down, hierarchical cultures or extreme political doctrines.

Aquarius is a democratic sign; the types of top-down systems that have dominated our society in the last millennia will simply cease to work.

The Age of Aquarius will come with a completely different “operating system” – something we haven’t seen yet… at least in the last 26.000 years.

The Age of Aquarius 2000AD , Master of the 3rd Veil, under the banner of scarlet delineated by Man, Tribe of Reuben, and the Prophecy of Haggai for the New Earth

The Master of the 3rd veil is an allegory of the future, the age of craftsmanship, technology, electricity, computers, all with the energy of the fixed Air, The Age of Aquarius.

Exodus 31 – The Call of Bezallel and Aholiab

Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: “See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, to design artistic works, to work in gold, in silver, in bronze, in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of workmanship. And I, indeed I, have appointed with him Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and I have put wisdom in the hearts of all who are gifted artisans, that they may make all that I have commanded you:”

Even as God specifically chose Moses and Aaron, He also specifically chose these craftsmen for His service. God supernaturally enabled Bezalel to do the work of building the Tabernacle. God saw this work as just as spiritual, and just as dependent on the Holy Spirit’s power, as the work Moses and Aaron did.

Page 38: and the First Element of Tetramorph

The Age of Aquarius 2000AD – 4000AD shall be the period when the Ark of the Covenant would be restored in the form of computers, emf generators, atom smashers, wormhole transport facilities and ultimately smart device like signet that serves as individual data storage , biometrics , and radiates the Spirit of God handled by Humanos Luminus or Illuminated Human.

Present day craftsmen are programmers, scientists, physicists, alien like engineers who understand the dimensional law of the universe and perfecting the reality of the Godlike particle.

The Prophecy of Prophet Haggai ( Present Days before Year 2000AD)

From the fourth chapter of Exodus:”And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe in the two former signs, thou shalt take of the water of the river and pour it upon the dry land; and the water shall become blood upon the dry land.” This is an allegory of the scarlet (blood) color of the banner, the transformation of the old earth by wars, man made calamities, weather manipulations, biological weapons of mass destruction before the realization of the New Temple or the New Earth.

• All Nations Will be Shaken

• The Heavens and Earth Will be Shaken
