The Elixir Process

Febuary 28, 2009 5:18 p.m.

Today we start the process. Everything is in order. All the necessary parts,
pieces liquids and solids are in place. I too, have prepared myself for the
work ahead.

I will include pictures of all the items in sequenced and try to explain my
process as I go along.

The first picture is of the salt after I brought it in from charging in the sun
for 6 hours. There is a lot more there then I will use but it was just as easy
to charge the dish full as only partially full.



The second picture is of the Dew after I have measured out exactly 280 ml.



The third and fourth pictures are the filtration process before the salt is added.
The fifth picture is of the flip top bottle I will use for the process.



The sixth seventh and eighth pictures are of the salt as it is being ground
into a very fine powder and then added to the Dew. There was about 1/4
cup added.



The ninth picture shows the salt as it is dissolving into solution.
It took about 25 minutes to get all of the salt into solution.



The tenth picture shows the salt/dew mixture in the bottle
after a little filtering with a small piece of coffee filter in a
funnel. The eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth pictures show
the bottle being closed for the last time.




The fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth pictures show how I
am containing my heating pad by wrapping it around the
bottle and then wrapping two hand towels around it. I then
fit the whole thing down in a box about 6”x 7.5”x 11”.
Nothing special about the box, it was simply one I had
laying around.



The seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth pictures
show the top half of the bottle after it has been under
heat for about 2 hours.



The bottom of the bottle is about 122 degrees and the
top of the bottle at the cap is 59 degrees. This is a 63
degree difference. As you can see the solution is being
heated by the heating pad causing it to evaporate and
rise into the top of the bottle. Because of the difference
in temperature the vapor then condenses and drains back
down into the bottom of the bottle. This is the continuous
circulation process that we have been talking about.
This is the motor that converts the Dew and Salt into our
most powerful Elixir.
If you look at picture ten you can see the level to which I
filled the bottle. I left enough space at the top of the solution
for the vapor to be able to set up a circulation path and have
lots of surface area available at the cooler temperature for
the condensation to take place.

This is the reason for the long neck bottles.


I will keep everybody posted as the process progresses.

I'm eagerly waiting for the updates.

I checlked the process this morning at 9:30 a.m. The circulation in this bottle coupled with
the use of the heating pad is totally amazing. You can see the traces in the condensate where
the liquid is draining back into the botton of the bottle.

I have added some additional pictures.




A fine powder has started to Precipitate out of the solution on the bottom of the bottle That can be seen in these pictures. This is happening within the first 24 hours. Understand The solution was filtered before the salt was added and after, just before it was put into the bottle.




these pics are a little big. This gives you an idea of how the circulation is supposed to work.

nice work !!! magnum.opus1

Nice work magnum.opus1. Pretty simple setup you have there. Ours is just as simple and we'll be posting pictures of ours soon.

wow, great job, keep it up and let us know updates.

very good start.

Thank you magnun!

NIce bottle you have there! I`ll try to find one similar...
Now I see what kinda cap you guys were talking about.

The ones I saw with a metallic screw seemed so frail.

just two questions:

is the cork made of hard plastic or rubber?

Did you let the salt dissolve and sit in the bottle for 4 days

as per Leyden´s letter? or was all made in a few hours?
and right to the baneum mary?

In any case the circulation you are getting show the thing

is really coming.


Thanks for your photos and hope to put mine here as well.


Best wishes and luck for you.


mrgiller

excellent. I'll be starting my process in a few days when I feel the time is right.

The cork is actually made of ceramic and it has a rubber or maybe rubber
looking plastic washer that facillitates the seal. When the bail is snapped
in place it is very tight.

No, It was all done in one setting.

You can get the bottles from here along with some pretty wild lemonade.

Her are pics.



You can drink the lemonade or down the sink. The bottle is about $4.50
each. Shipping is pretty steep. But hey it gets you what you need.

I got some of the same bottles from Ross at the mall. I got 4 for 6 bucks. they are a little smaller but they get the job done and I use more than just one.

Bro. Haynes 3rd

MO-1, what size is the bottle?

Hello magnun.opus1 and thanks for you reply!

That seems to be the right bottle.

thanks for you patience in putting the images there for us.

Here I put some comments on that:

Did you tested it at 200F ?

Now If it can stand 15 days at 200F we must check out.

Now for this 200F I have two considerations:

Water boils at 212 F at sea level, and the 200F is just about
a few degrees below boiling point.
I think we sould never have the bottle boiling right? the pressure build up inside the bottle will be tremendous to the risk of exploding it and causing arm to people nearby.

At an altitude of 1000 meters above sea level ( wich is my case )

Water boils at 206.6 F ( or minus 3 degrees Celcius every 1000 meters high up )

So I should compensate for that and have my thermometer at 194.5 F
if you guys are following me right?

So if someone here lives at high altitudes they should take this into consideration

like at 3000 meters water will boil immediately at 200F. So one should compensate for 195,8 F + -

good F to C converter here: http://www.wbuf.noaa.gov/tempfc.htm

But take into consideration that with salt, water boils a few degrees up as well.

I`m saying this because I think the bottle should be tested to withstand a pressure of 200F or higher.

but since the temperature is just below boiling point it could be easy to break it if the bottle can´t stand boiling water. I meaning that it will be easy to get to the boiling range and breaking the jar if you don´t have an temperature controled heating mantle.


Now you said you didn´t take the 4 days of sitting as per the prescription.

I was wondering why Leyden`s asked for this.

My first thougth was that he asked for that for the perfect marriage of solar fire with Lunar Dew, before the heat of the honeymoon.

Sorry,

there is an error in my last post;

If you live at 3000 meters high you´ll will have to set the thermometer at 183,8F

for the balneum siccum.

cheers!

Very nice work indeed. Very very inspiring (and a little unfair... :-)))
since it's still -10oC here... and no chance at collecting the dew)

I also would like to know the size of these bottles?

How many mls ?

thanks again.

The bottle is 750 ml. I have three of them and I guess I could put water in one
and take it up to 250 or so to see what it will do.
These bottles are holding a carbonated beverage.

I think if we leave it open for a peroid of 4 days to mix in the salt we will loose the astral fire of
the dew from it being opened so many times.

I also believe the creation of the Elixir happens not because we mixed dew and salt togeather
but it happens because of the circulation inside of the bottle. The circulation is what mixes the
solar and lunar fires together to create the Elixir.

Again, the Dew and Salt are just carriers of the fire. The continuos circulationis is what creates
and strengthens the Alkahest. Hense, why would we circulate at 120 degrees and then at 200 degrees then at 120 degrees and then 200 degrees. This process is what multiplies and
strengthens the Alkahest.

Just my thoughts.

I have to agree with magnum.opus1. The marriage of dew and salt takes place during the heating phases of the process. The cycling of the Balneo Mary and the Sand Bath is what makes the Elixir stronger, hence the marriage of the dew and salt. Also, the 4 day period of mixing the salt with the dew was to make sure the salt was completely dissovled in the dew. However, it is possible to dissolve all of your salt before the 4 days is over. The 4 days is just for saftey measure.

Magnum.opus,

I like your thinking.
I would like to add that the salt represents the Earth element,
and the dew, is the water from the air.

In the beautiful visions of John of Revelations and Ezekiel - they both see the Heavens open and they "see God." A vision of the Creator in metaphorical terms.
It is all a very beautiful symbol of the Philosopher's Stone.

They see a 4-fold beast - lion, eagle, bull, and a man.
These represent the four fixed signs of the zodiac and represent the Stone of the Kings.

The Eagle is the higher aspect of Scorpio.
The Lion is Leo.
The Bull is Taurus.
And the Man is Aquarius - the human child.

It's quite amazing all of this because it all fits perfectly together for our great work. And it shows us how the alchemists (who were astrologers) of old left us many clues to know when we're on the right path.

Leo rules the Sun, who is the Father, and Scorpio - Eagle rules the Moon in this case (being the water element), which is the Mother.

The symbol for Sun and the element of gold are the same -




The symbol for the moon and silver are the same - (see the far left)

[img][/img]

When we marry the Father, Fire, with the Moon, Water, we get...
The Child, who is the Aquarian human, and what happens when you put fire in water - you get Steam - which is Air that carries Water.
Air that Carries water is the Water bearer which is the Air zodiac sign of Aquarius - now the planet Uranus rules aquarius which is ruled by the metal platinum ...

And the metal platinum's alchemical symbol is the following -



This totally blew me away when I discovered this.
In the symbol for the element that rules the Water in the Air - we see both the Sun and the Moon - which is the child of the mother and father.

What is left? Taurus which rules the Earth -
ever hear of the expression "Salt of the Earth?"
Well, the Salt is the Earth, as Nick shares in the dew document, and it carries the sun in its belly, and the water that is extracted from the Air - ie aquarius child, carries the Moon in its belly.... (This is very Emerald Tablet)

It's amazing amazing stuff.
All four elements are there.
Lion Sun Fire Father
Eagle Moon Water Mother
Aquarian Sun-Moon Air Child
Taurus Venus - Earth - carrier of all three on its solid back.

All four are needed as part of the vision of the Creator.

This is our great work.

p.s. you can see my artwork reflects this 4-fold nature of the Elixir of Life.

Hi,

Magnum, this is so descriptive and clear thank you for taking the time as I can imagine for the first time everything being fiddly enough.

Nice Shlomo, great creative thinking. Thanks for describing that to us. It just enforces everything more!

Best of luck Magnum, although I'm sure you're creating your own.

Blessings
Karitsis

Shlomo:

I just read through your post about 3 times. That is totally amazing how everything
fits.

I may have a little something for you guys up north in the frozen chosen lands.
It is a dew condensation system where you can control the outside temperature
and even to a lesser extent the humidity in the air. if you can control temperature and humidity you can set your dew point where you want it.
This will allow you to extract dew any time of the year.

This is all built from storage containers from Walmart, a hair dryer, some 2x4's
and some 1 1/2 inch plastic flexable tubing.

I'll do a post on it some time in the next couple days.

Interesting...
coercing the dew out of the winter.
Interesting.


I am dubious if such a thing is desired, BUT, I am willing to try it out...
definitely. If nothing else, it will be a great trial run for when the real deal moon
comes in May bringing very juicy full moon scorpio dew.
