Description
Excerpt from Azoth: Or, the Star in the East; Embracing the First Matter of the Magnum Opus, the Evolution of Aphrodite-Urania, the Supernatural Generation of the Son of the Sun, and the Alchemical Transfiguration of Humanity
Principle of Universal Development or Evolution. If we exclusively consider this principle so far as it is at work in the Kingdom of Humanity, we shall see that the Great fork is the amelioration, exaltation, or transmutation of the formless human race into the dual child of the Mystic Cross of c - to make use of Hermetic terminology - or, in other words, into the Perfect Man. And as the development of one such being out of the whole chaos of individuals, ever manifesting and vanishing with the ebb and ?ow of generations, would provide a transforming instrument, a living Snip/tar T fugens, to adopt another alchemi cal phrase, we thus find that the conception of a transmuting and colouring stone, and of a projecting powder which can exalt into its own nature any adaptable substance, irrespective of magnitude - things which are continually referred to in the allegories of the Philosophers - have a secret significance which points in the same direction, unto the Blessed Isles of the Elect Chil dren, which the alchemist prayed to behold in the parabolic vision of Mercury.
