The Forbidden Letters - Newsletter 5

Newsletter 5 on the Forbidden Letters
by Paris 4

Paris, August 2011

Dear Visitors of World Mysteries,

A few days ago Daniel Witzen's article on our Letters was published at World Mysteries. We like to react, because the major work is indeed done in the gastrointestinal system as well as in the esophagus. Mild pain there, in that 'second-brain.' Not in the 'first-brain' (= the actual brain) because that is insensitive to pain of course. (See the Witzen article, Part 2)

This gives us the opportunity to discuss a few more things.

A) Our Pope-theory (see entry 13, the Letters part 2) is only a theory. We don't know if things will come to an end under Ratzinger or 'Petrus Romanus.'

B) 2012 is just the end of one of many time-periods in the Mayan Calendar. We don't believe it's connected to Alchemy.

and C) Our gay man had a certain habit when he was a child. Between when he was about 7 and about 15, he had to make 4 of 3 on several occasions about every day. So if he for instance took steps, then he counted to three, and then he added one thereby getting four, and then everything was perfect. But if he needed to take more steps to reach a certain point, he tried to do that in 16 steps
(4 X 3+1 is again 4. 12 (= 3 here) was the almost complete here again ('the basis' in his own words), with 16 (= 4 here) everything was 'okay' again). He did this in a playful way. There was no real compulsion.
What urged our gay man to form 4's out of 3's in his youth? To form quaternities out of trinities. The Inner Alchemist, part of the Self?

"What is done by what is called myself is, I feel, done by something greater than myself in me."(James Clerk Maxwel)

Because Edinger and Jung say this:

1.

'You see, that's the essential meaning of the alchemical transformation process. In various texts, veiled in one way or another, the prima materia that was to undergo transformation was identified as God. So on the upper level, God is transformed by the entrance of the feminine element, which changes the Trinity into a quaternity.'(Edinger)

( Jung )

2.

'The use of the Trinity formula in alchemy is so common, that further documentation is unnecessary. (But) like the Trinity, the alchemical 'triunity' is a quaternity in disguise owing to the duplicity of the central figure: mercurius is not only split into a masculine and feminine half, but is the poisonous dragon (=serpent) and at the same time the heavenly lapis (=stone).'(Jung)

3.

'To (the alchemist) Dorn in particular, it was perfectly clear that the (alchemical) triad must be completed by a fourth, as the lapis (=stone) had always been regarded as a quaternity of elements. It did not disturb them that this would necessarily involve the evil spirit. On the contrary, the dismemberment and self-devouring of the dragon probably seemed them a commendable operation.'(Jung)

4.

'The alchemist was therefore compelled to formulate his quasi-chemical facts metaphysically too. Thus the white earth corresponds to the earth that signified "mankind, is exalted above all the circles of the world, and placed in the intellectual heaven of the most Holy Trinity." Where, we may add, it is obviously added to the Trinity as the "Fourth" - thereby making making it a totality.'(Jung)

For what it's worth,
and with our warmest wishes to you all,
The Paris 4
