World-Mysteries.com presents On the Forbidden Letters by Magnus StromDear visitors of World Mysteries, Recently I've been reading The Forbidden Letters. I would like to present some extra information here. I've 'studied' alchemy for over 10 years. Some of the information is taken from Forums worldwide on which the Letters are discussed. My best wishes, Magnus Strom, Stockholm 1The language of the alchemist is allegorical. Lead (mortal body) is turned into Gold (immortal body). Pb is chosen, because if it breaks, it is silver white for a moment, and then turns black. Decay. Mortality. Gold (Au) is chosen, because nothing can touch Gold. Immortality. In classical alchemy the language is chemical, in biblical alchemy it is agricultural (The parabels of Jesus on the Kingdom within). 2The Latin (urbs transrhenana...) means: The city over the Rhine in the year 711. The naked young boy catches fire in
the silence of the night. Here starts the work of the sun. We're awaiting the
glory of the olive tree. 711 doesn't have to be anno Domini. Could be a.u.c. (ab urbe condita, meaning: since the foundation of the city). 711, like 1170, could mean a code for January 17th too, the date of birth of the gay man in the Letters. 3The alchemists say: 'Christ is the Stone.' 4The Benben-stone is related to the Bennu-bird, which is related to the Phoenix. Benben comes from the verb b.n b.n which means to rise. 5On the claim of physical immortality in the Letters: "These are the secret sayings that the living Jesus spoke and Didymos Judas Thomas recorded." (The Gospel according to Thomas, the most alchemical gospel) Thomas 1. And he said, "Whoever discovers the interpretation of these sayings will not taste death." Here is ofcourse not meant you and I, since we too now can discover the interpretation of these sayings more or less after having read the Letters, but people like the gay man who are performing the Great Work, or Work of the Sun. Thomas 11. Jesus said "The dead are not alive, and the living will not die." The dead are those not reborn from that fire ('let the dead bury the dead' (Jesus). The living, those reborn through that fire. 6The 17th of January is a special date in Grail/Alchemy-literature. Flamel for instance produced his 'Gold' on that date. That is allegory, because the Gold of Alchemy is produced in the body of the alchemist. And causes physical immortality. 7In Tantra it is said that if Kundalini is released uncontrolled, the snake doesn't rise correctly through the spine, but escapes in the body, and causes madness, pain, and in the end death. 8If the Letters are correct, then the outer, macrocosmic marriage (our 'heterosexual' marriage in the flesh) is only there to produce the Trees of Life (spine and brain) of certain homosexuals at the End of Time who are capable of performing the inner, microcosmic marriage due to their unique balance of the microcosmic male and female. The outer marriage is in the New Testament allegory then for that inner marriage. 9The theme of being 'filled with light' (the lightbody breaking through) is touched upon in Thomas 61. T 507: "... if one is (whole), one will be filled with light, but if one is divided, one will be filled with darkness. Lambdin (NHL, 133): ". . . if he is (undivided: lst Ed.) (destroyed: 3rd Ed.) he will be filled with light, but if he is divided, he will be filled with darkness." Layton, p. 391: " such a person, once integrated, will become full of light, but such a person, once divided, will become full of darkness.." Meyer, p. 47: ". . . if one is (whole), one will be filled with light, but if one is divided, one will be filled with darkness." R. McL. Wilson, NTA-1965, vol. l, p. 517): ". . . when it is undivided it will be filled with light, but when it is divided it will be filled with darkness." It is said of Adam Kadmon (the Letters part 2, email 8) that he has light 'coming from his mouth, ears, and nose'. 10Thomas 114 (the Letters part 2, email 3) might be a very clever way of telling that the macrocosmic female indeed (as the Paris 4 speculate) cannot tolerate the microcosmic female. Because it would be silly to think that Jesus (that microcosmic stone) changes the gender of someone before the resurrection. "114. Simon Peter said to them, "Make Mary leave us, for females don't deserve life." Jesus said, "Look, I will guide her to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every female who makes herself male will enter the kingdom of Heaven."" Formulated like this it leaves room for hope for women (otherwise the Gospel according to Thomas would probably not have survived history), and spreads the word at the same time for those 'who have ears'. 11'Homosexuality and Alchemy are the best kept secrets in the Universe'. (Ascribed to Silberer on a Forum, but I doubt it was Silberer who said that.) 12Thot (the Father of Alchemy) is conceived in myth through heterosexual union too. But it is striking ofcourse that there was a homosexual version circulating aswell in ancient Egypt (The Letters, part 2, email 7). 13Quotes from a discussion on the Letters on a Forum: Originally Posted by LSVPA "My only issue with this is that none of this is information that cannot be found, in more detail, in many places. Still, I welcome a discussion on the points talked about in the original emails." The answer by a forum-member: "I've studied alchemy for over twenty years and there are many things I've never seen in literature. The (1) decapitation by a thread for instance. Is that in literature? Again, where can this all be found? Let alone in many places." The answer by LSVPA: "Welcome to the wonderfull world of doing your own research. Like I said,
discussion on the original emails would be just fine. I'm not about to do 16 in
depth searches to find information on the things that you posted... you can do
that yourself. Also, due to the vagueness of many of your points, it would be
nearly impossible to find something that would satisfy them. Others are plainly
obvious, IMO. I merely said that what was contained in the emails linked to by your
original post contained very little novelty; the information has taken its
rounds online, in some cases, for many years. Another issue is the highly symbolic nature of your 16 points. Anyone can
throw on their own ideas. As can you. And if you look a certain way, everything
that has ever been written can be broken down into 16 parts. Point 1, for example, can be a simple masonic trick of making perfect slices
in granite with a heated wire. This 'stuff' can be found all throughout historical and religious texts, in analogies of biology, chemistry, physiology, hell, even in carpentry manual. Its boundless by nature, but classified and separated in literature, and with experience becomes re-connected." 14The terrestrial paradise of the Alchemist is as atheistic as the nirvana of
Buddha. "O Mensch! Gib acht! [Nietzsche] (in English) O man, take care!
