Sanctification
Sanctification is the act of consecration, to express the sacred, an object, or in the case of the spiritual path, the act of making or life devoted to occult, esoteric purpose and objective. This step takes place when one, like Kaspar and Melchior, who saw the star, and was determined to continue despite obstacles, obstructions and obstacles. Psychologically, the determination to follow and see a project through to its final conclusion can be said to be an expression of sanctification.
Sanctification is an initiation that offers a proof of our sincerity, being true to oneself, ones principles, and votes out at the time of sanctification, which may or may not be in the form of a mystical ceremony. Once a person is sanctified, the eyes of the spiritual hierarchy focus on him, guiding, protecting, inspiring, and strengthening your mind to Christ just born, symbolized by the Nativity. Each step of the Way illuminates the aura of the alchemist, the expansion of consciousness and mind to greater borders, to a greater reality, he develops a heightened sense of awareness, understanding and appreciation of cosmic truths. The Alchemist sanctify his life never fail to disperse from its four lower bodies of heavy particles that bind him down to death and limitation, and incorporating its principles atoms ethereal nature, leading its operation on the higher planes of consciousness.
Purification
Purification is the result of diet, spiritual discipline that is responsible the alchemist. In strict accordance with the laws of a spiritual ethical code, the debugging process is on track. Purification is processed on three principles:
1) Rising rates of vibration of the atomic structures and atoms in the minor components of Man.
2) The dispersion of material failure and toxins that corrupts the pods.
3) The prevention of the accumulation of heavy atoms that thickens the pods and buries the soul.
In esoteric Christianity, purification is represented by baptism. The soul being washed in the fluid of the Cosmic Sea, gradually changing clothes in the substance of Christ, and emerge in a new world of Light. The first Adam was made from the skin clothing, the last Adam is the spiritual body clothing. Purification is a continuing process. Never let the Evolution never stops until the point of no progression.
Impurity in man results in a negative attitude and behavior, a "tamasic" expression that makes a man slow in his ways. Records of karmic sins staying in the heart seed atom and the four lower principles. To the eye clairvoyant, these are seen as blackish-gray clouds like pollution emanating from an industrial center. The Alchemist purifies and purges these astral, physical, mental and toxins from their system of life in harmony with the Tao, and through spiritual exercises designed to clean your being. It is the dark substance that prevents the binding with God, and freedom to operate in the higher planes of consciousness. Love, Life and Light are washing detergents and baptizes the soul in the river Jordan. Such qualities divine should be allowed to develop within nature itself.
Putrefaction
All things happen for change called "death", which is actually a transformation into a new state of expression.Only change forms. The energy that animates the way, or that shaped its expression can never be destroyed or destroyed. The molecules can break the mass, the atoms can disengage from one another and explode in a shower of electrons, but with all this apparent destruction of identity, a law operating so deep that gives birth to a new being that arise from the ashes of the old.
Putrefaction is an intensification of the process has already begun in the previous steps. Astral and mental toxins move from the spiritual structure of man by force of cleanliness, the Holy Fire, and breaks, and decomposing the effluvia of the lower realms parasitizing mans fears and ignorance, making it possible to placing the bases of the transmutation of the tomb in the temple. Like Mason, the alchemist must build a temple not made with hands, a temple worthy enough for the occupation and operation of the ego.
Putrefaction at this stage, the alchemist is like a cocoon himself working on internally, habitual thoughts and emotions that are not of a quality of the Ascended Masters are decomposed and released into the Cosmic "incinerator."
The principle of change is symbolized by the Transfiguration of Jesus. Elijah represents the fire, and Moses - Water, are the wisdom and love of buddhi aspects that permeates and fertilizes the seeds of gold in the man.
Focus on the solar principle, the living fire of God is a sure way to burn the dross the dispersion of impurities, and the transmutation of metals rajasic tamas-man principles on the qualities of gold. Seed Fire Buddha accelerates our be aroused to activity; Water purifies the seed giving it freedom to grow and sustain the same time. It is said that "putrefaction is the key principle the process of transmutation. "It is the agent that accelerates the growth. The momentum is greater in the successive step of the way.
Fermentation
After going through the previous stage of putrefaction, then undergoes fermentation, which is represented in Christian mystical passion, the agony of Jesus in Getsamene. Mystics of the Christian tradition call this spiritual condition, "the Dark Night of the Soul."
Chemically, fermentation is the change of breakdown of complex compounds, which in other structures with the help of an agent such as yeast. Psychologically, it is a time of intense activity psychic when in doubt a deeper assault convictions and beliefs of its very root.
A man never knows the things that makes life even tested by karma and rebound. When man becomes "fixed" in their attitudes and perspectives, denying the possibilities of the soul of the culture and development, when it gets complacent in relation to their place in the ladder of evolution and refuses to give up more, then Nature comes to the rescue of the yeast as it would in the beginning of a change forced into a compound, which in this case, the complex is called man. This forced the change comes in the form of tests and trials, and all his previous beliefs and discusses misconceptions as to its assumed value in maintaining their balance, sanity, and understanding of life.
Students are advised by Alchemy adherents to volatilize what is "fixed" and to stabilize it is volatilized. Esoterically, this means that one has to rid himself of all disturbances mental, glamor, illusions and ignorance of not knowing, in exchange for an approach from the unreal to real, and live in eternity and truth.
This conversion activity, or "renewing of the mind" is the result of fermentation, and usually is done under the supervision of an expert-master who introduced the "state natural ", or the Light" Delete "started when judged to be ready.
Combustion
After experiencing the "night dark soul "of the previous stage, the alchemist is facing a major test, that of the" dark night of spirit, "where you feel abandoned and cutting the very source of being, encouragement, inspiration and support of one of the masters and loved ones. karma accumulated in previous incarnations returns with full force, apparently without mercy, but remembering that God does not give more trials that man can endure, the alchemist-start it through, like Old Job.
In the state of the crucifixion, which symbolizes the burning, emotions and mind in their respective planes, literally, in flames, or fire. One overcomes this period to be self-dependent their own resources. Although apparently neglected to start suffering are never alone.
Combustion causes a reaction, a stirring in the soul of man, which is accompanied by joy and sorrow, symbolized by light and heat. Jesus expressed this paradoxical state where one hand, in agony and cried: "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? "(Mark 15:34), and secondly, after recognizing his mistake in presuming apart with total dedication entered into the blissful state enacting the Supreme One who is supposed to have left him: "Father, into thy hands I command my spirit" (Luke 23:46).
What causes combustion alchemically speaking, is all-consuming fire of God. With its descent into the psyche, the intensity of light induces temporary spiritual blindness, making the illusion that the darkness had fallen upon the soul. While surrounded by light, a groping in the dark apparent. With the descent of the divine fire, a conflagration started in the emotions and mind, leading to pain and agony, which was later submitted to be accustomed to the face of God. They say you can not see the face of God and live, what is passing away are the last remnants of the false ego, and active identification with the carnal self. Man dies at his lower self, but lives in the glory of his Be higher.
The presence of a fire prepared for the next stage of regeneration, with playing a vital role. Combustion is the baptism of fire and the Spirit Santo promised by John the Precursor. From the perspective of esoteric anatomy, combustion is triggered by kundalinic activity. As the fire serpent ascends sushumna, sensations of heat, "cold heat" feels along the spine.
Regeneration
All religions basically relating to the regeneration The man, to lay the foundations for the regeneration process to proceed. It is the esoteric side of religion that places man in active contact with higher forces and principles that activates the regeneration phase of mans spiritual development.Misguided dogmatic teachings of the Church, the Christian believes in the literal resurrection from the grave on Judgement Day, however, when interpreted esoterically, the writings of Paul have a wealth of information on the process regeneration. For example, stated that "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive" (I Corinthians 15:22). Adam or the carnal self, the entity makes plays dead to higher realities. He operates his body slowly like a zombie. By contrast, when the prodigal absorbed universal substance of Christ, and Christ Consciousness stems from their higher principles, then the work under the direction of a superior intelligence. He begins her to live life in truth and in eternity. Regeneration thus begins to occur within your four lower bodies, but the transmutation of body shape in the body "of Light." To be alive in Christ demands a spiritual discipline to be exercised. But sadly, the average person chooses to believe instead of knowing and doing.
It is the destiny of man to achieve what Jesus had made in the resurrection, "and therefore advised Paul to the Romans: "But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies his Spirit that dwelleth in you "(Romans 8:11). If the Spirit to dwell in us to an acceleration, then there must be a way to invite the Spirit to dwell in our bodies, mere beliefs and faith are insufficient to invoke the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit.
When relying on the rhythm of nature evolution and development, the regeneration of man can take eons to complete. Upon entering the door "right track", the Path of Return, can accelerate the Prodigal Som regenerative process and deify himself quickly in the arms of his Father. It is said that great men do not die, they just fade away. Enoch, the prophet was antediluvian a great example of someone who simply vanished. It is recorded in Genesis who walked with God and then it was not. There are basically two interpretations of this statement: one, the complete elimination and non-identification with the false self, the false self, and two, the etherialization the physical body.
After a successful step the various phases of the form, the alchemist is a point where an influx of lightning descends from the higher self and take active control of the four lower bodies. Each cell in the physical body is vitalized by the Counselor and raised to a higher state of vibration resulting as a side effect, young people and a renewed power. Life continues in form, and all diseases that afflict humanity comes to no effect.
Psychologically, the causes of regeneration a character spiritualization the alchemist. Morality, ethics and principles held by the alchemist are deployed and applied from the divine viewpoint. Every smile appears and directed by a master alchemist receiver comes with a special blessing and strength that he was subtly projected from the heart center of the alchemist.
It follows that the regeneration is represented by the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Regeneration makes deployment Golden Seed in man to mature, and preparing for the final stage ending their way of transmutation.
Atonement
Esoterically, the atonement is the repair of any damage or harm done to another. Esoterically, the atonement is at-one-ment, the "mystical union" or the unity between man and God. It is the climb that unifies man with his "I AM". This is the conclusion of the way of human salvation, the attainment of alchemical gold. Many tests and tests have been passed, many initiations suffered. The seed of the tree of life planted in the consciousness of Eden man has matured and is bearing fruit qualities of God. The man reaches a state of high personal effort by and labor and not another depending on the merits and efforts to his elevation to the Light. This distinguishes the soul of the Master childish man.
Unity is the reality. The differentiation and separation are illusory, the projection of Maya. As the man joins the One who assumes the likeness of Him, who has become the image of God and becomes the Initiate the Sun, "a symbol of wisdom, the center of power, or the heart of things." The initiate, by virtue of being one with her debut Sun is a lighted and lit up.
Atonement is the culmination of the spiritual work of the alchemist in the long process of purification, refining and improving the quality of their metals. The principles of Right Thinking, Talking Right and Right Action (some elements of the Divine Thought) are conducive to making the transformation of the different pods. The lives of the alchemists in a state of "constant" meditation and prayer, 24-hours a day, before his ascension. Like the Sufis, the names of Allah are constantly on the lips and mind. The spiritual practice of "zikir" or "memory" applies maturation devotion started. The Alchemist is an active search for the kingdom of God within. In esoteric Christianity, the principles, or the panacea for achieving the transcendental state, and the expansion of consciousness to embrace the Solar Consciousness is given as punishment, contrition, confession, Consecration, and Communion.
Conclusion
Each time a man placed in its evolution, the intelligences of the spiritual hierarchy offer a solution in the form of a new religion, philosophy, science or art. Alchemy is at once all of them, and since its appearance in the Mysteries, a thorough investigation had been made by the candidates and potential applicants and processes derived from the conduct of a transmutation. Confused by the jargon and the true aim of alchemy, the average student alchemy happens loss of time, money and energy trying to fathom the secrets of science. Sincerity, faith and perseverance were, and still are the keys that open portal to the heart of a master, and with his help and guidance, a greater understanding and appreciation acquired by the applicant.
Although it dismissed as pseudo-science by modern scientists, the value of alchemy as a psycho-spiritual tool for the transformation of man can not be denied if understood in its entirety. It only takes a mind of purity, free of intolerance and intellectualism become like a small child in the arms of the Divine Mother, or Sophia, in order grasp the essential principles of alchemy that radiates so much light for the traveler to guide him to his destination.
