On the Forbidden Letters - by Pedro Caz
In dedication to HRH the Duchess of Cornwall
'Ce qui manque aux orateurs en profundeur, ils vous le donnent en longueur.'
- Montesquieu -
1.
'In the Corpus Hermeticum God is called Archetypal Light. The term
(archetypal) also occurs in De Divinis Nominibus (On the Divine Name/Caz). In
I.6 we find (the expression) Archetypal Stone.'[Jung/emphasis
added]

]
2.
'It is the rooted conviction of the West that God and the Ego are worlds
apart. In India, on the other hand, their identity was taken as self-evident.'[Jung,
Mysterium Coniunctionis (MC hereafter), par. 125]
'Man is a mortal God and God an immortal man.'[Corpus Hermeticum]
3.
'We have not only the early testimony of Zosimos of Panopolis from the third
century, but that of Petrus Bonus of the fourteenth century, which point to the
parallelism of the alchemical secret and the God-man.'[Jung, MC:xvi]
'In the last days there will come upon the earth a most pure man through whom
would be brought about the liberation of the world.'[Dorn in Jung, MC, par. 34,
n.228]
'For the alchemists the dark side of the world has never been conquered (as
Christians would say/Caz). And this was the task they
set themselves in their Work.'[Jung, MC, par. 49/emphasis added]
4.
'For the Kingdom of God cometh not with observation but is within us, as
Christ says in the seventeenth chapter of Luke. Recently though "within you" (greek:
entos humoon) has been (wrongly/Caz) translated as "among you." This shows the
modern tendency to replace man's inner
cohesion by outward community (i.e. church/Caz).
It is this deplorable tendency that paves the way for mass-mindedness.'[Jung,
MC, par. 9, n.45/emphasis added]
5.
'Flesh and blood correspond to the inward
and hidden fire.'[Dorn in Jung, MC, par. 11,
n.52/emphasis added]
6.
[ Isis ]
'And at night, Isis placed the child in a fire to burn away all that was
mortal in him.'[Baring and Casford]
'In Greco-Roman times Isis was represented as a human-headed snake.'[Jung,
MC, par. 14, n.81]
'Nobody knows the origin of the Black Madonna-cult.'[Peller]
'The Cognomen of Isis was chumeia, the Black One.'[Jung, MC, par. 14]
'Since ancient times Isis was reputed to possess the Elixir of Life.'[Ibid.]
7.

'The inflammation by desire has its analogy in the alchemist's gradual
warming of the substances (in his astral-body/Caz) that contain the
secret..'[Jung, MC, par. 34]
8.
[ Philip Gardiner ]
'I listened to the information the Paris 4 were sending, and I thoroughly
enjoyed their interpretation, whilst having reservations on why they wished to
remain secret. I can still only assume it may have something to do with the gay
aspect spoken of in their work or maybe they just want to remain
private.'[Philip Gardiner]
'The (alchemical Redeemer) does not play the game of shepherd and sheep,
because he has enough to do to be a shepherd to himself.'[Jung, MC, par. 491]
9.
'You know that there is a beast inside all of us.'[The Paris 4]
'That raging torrent that flows for all eternity
in the darkness of the psyche.'[Jung, MC, par.125/emphasis added]
'When you see your likeness, you rejoice. But when you see your images which
came into being before you, and which neither die,
nor become manifest, how much will you have to bear!'[Gospel of Thomas, logon
84/emphasis added]
'That beast has to be let out in a certain crisis in alchemy. It is raw
psychic energy (libido). And exactly that dark energy is used to build up the
lightbody. It is extremely dangerous and leaves you with a pandemonium of
aggression-impulses for several months( and other complaints), and in weaker
form for several years (the energy is consumed more and more and the impulses
gradually disappear). To safely conduct this energy you need an extraordinary
strong mind (he who will overcome). This process is sometimes called the night
of the soul. It is absolute horror the first two weeks. Horror still the next
three months and quite a burden for about three years, till the whole beast is
consumed and transformed into lightbody and chakra's (well hidden then
still).'[The Paris 4]
'You must go through the gate of the blackness if you would like to gain the
Light of Paradise and the whiteness.'[Ripley, Chemical Writings, p. 51]
*) Note that the remark by Jung ('for all eternity') and Thomas 84 ('neither
die') imply that only some energy is taken
from 'the beast' to create the Lightbody. But that the beast stays intact.
10.
[ Human livercells ]
'Most people do not know that the immortality-button is
switched off in our bodycells. The
infrastructure for immortality is there and ready. And nobody knows
why.'[Reinhard]
'The idea of restoring telomerase for cellular immortality is not assuring
enough as immortality in cells other than stem cells or germ cells means
malignancy.' [vide
http://www.physiology-physics.blogspot.com/2007/08/hayflick-limit-telomere-and-aging.html
]
'The research is based on the idea that certain cell lines are immortal; that
is, unlike "somatic" cells (all cells except those that create new life) wither
and die, germline cells (sperm and ova cells) produce new organisms. They then
replicate and make new germline cells, and are therefore effectively immortal.
Moreover, these cells have much greater staying power than somatic cells.
Germline cells are designed specifically to convey genetic information to
offspring, and as such, have enhanced immune systems and greater resistance to
genetic stresses that would destroy regular cells. The
team has, in essence, been able to trick the somatic cells into acting the same
way as germline cells..'[vide

11.
'Christ is signified to us by the venerable stone. This reference is valid if
the 'stone with the seven eyes' is taken not as the Keystone, but as the
Foundation Stone of the temple (i.e. the Lightbody/Caz]. The first reference is
to the lapis angularis (i.e. the Cornerstone/Caz], whose parallel in the
Eastertide Consecration of the fire is the silex or
firestone from which the spark springs forth. "O God, who through thy
Son, who is called the cornerstone, has brought the fire of thy light to the
faithful, make holy for our future use this new fire struck from the
firestone."- '[Jung, MC, par. 46, n.89/emphasis added]
'In short, my friend, build a temple [meaning a Lightbody/Caz] from a single
stone.' [The alchemist Zosimos of Panopolis]
12.
'For you will remember too that in certain grail-lore heads are taken of and
replaced by other heads. Now, we are not talking about the head of flesh to be
taken of. That would be lethal ofcourse. It is the microcosmic, subtle head,
interwoven in the head of flesh that is taken of and replaced after the (kundalini)
fire by a new subtle head, the Christ.'[The Paris 4]
'The (wingless) dragon is equated with the human-headed serpent of Paradise
which had the image of God in its head. "His head lives in eternity."[Albertus
Magnus] Hence we get the parallel of the dragon's head with Christ.'[Jung, MC,
par. 140 ff.]
'The dragon's head contains the precious stone.'[Jung, MC, par. 141]
'It's a possibility that the Stone is produced of the old microcosmic head.
And that the head placed back after the Kundalini-fire is again that Stone. This
would mean that there are as many Grails as there are human heads.'[John Raven
on the Forbidden Letters]
13.
'The figure of the Son of Man and of Christ the Redeemer has archetypal
antecedents. It is these (antecedents) that form the basis of the alchemical
analogies.'[Jung, MC, par. 146]
'Those wo identified the lapis (i.e. stone) with Christ stopped working in
the laboratory, and those who preferred laboratory work slowly gave up their
mystic language.'[Jung, MC, par. 148]
'I have met and worked with a number of real alchemists here in France. A
transmutation of metals was perfomed in my kitchen fireplace.'[Laura Knight-Jadczyk]
14.
'There is in the unconscious an already
exsiting wholeness, the Whole Man of Western, and Chen-yen or True Man of
Chinese Alchemy.'[Jung, MC, par. 152/emphasis added]
15.
'We are closing for today. If you search in alchemy, at one point you will
find the expression V.I.T.R.I.O.L. (= visit the centre of the earth and by
rectification you will find the stone). The alchemist- writers are quite
mistaking here. We recommend our 16 words from our first mail: first the stone
is produced, then the journey to the inner earth starts. The stone is found in
the body, not in the earth. Mind you, everything is, in the end, found in the
body. If an alchemist travels through the earth, he's doing that in the
microcosmos of the body. Remember what we said: the real sun and moon (and
earth) are in you. Not outside. And this explains why our friend could still
hear common street noise outside his apartment when he traveled to the centre of
the earth over 19 years ago with tremendous speed.'[The Paris 4]
'The Aurora Consurgens [ vide
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_consurgens ] equates the earth
with the bride. It is in the earth that the Holy Wedding takes place.'[Jung, MC,
par. 154]
'The misfortune of the alchemists was that they themselves did not know what
they were talking about.'[Jung, MC, par. 147]
16.
[ The Yin (inner female) and Yang (inner male) symbol ]
'The content becomes fixed through the mystery of the coniunctio in which the
opposites unite. "The two shall be one, and the outside as the inside, and the
male with the female neither male nor female." This apocryphal saying of Jesus
from the beginning of the second century is indeed a paradigm of the alchemical
union of opposites.'[Jung, MC, par. 200]
17.
'The dragon (i.e. serpent) is analogous to the devil, and the lapis (i..e.
stone) to Christ.'[Jung, MC, par. 235]
'c) The snake is driven out. Our friend doesn't know where it went. Up the
spine, but after that: no clue. (Into the earth?)'[The Paris 4]
*) It is very amusing to see how bits of alchemy chaotically landed in the
New Testament:
"[1] And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the
bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
[2] And he laid hold on the dragon, that
old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan,
and bound him a thousand years,
[3] And cast him into the bottomless pit,
and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no
more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be
loosed a little season.
[4] And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto
them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded
for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not
worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his
mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands;
and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
[5] But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were
finished. This is the first resurrection.
[6] Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such
the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ,
and shall reign with him a thousand years."[Revelations 20/emphasis added]
'A little metallic like wheel (like in a clock) starts to spin in the
decapitated head, either on the left side, or the right side (our gay man
doesn't remember), near the ear and then, spinning fast, makes a 90 degree move
to the forehead. (We can't help thinking
about Revelation/ the sign on the foreheads.)'[The Paris 4/emphasis added]
18.
'The Stone is produced about where the liver is.'[The Paris 4]
'Turn inward for your voyage. You will not find the Stone in foreign
parts.'[Angelus Silesius]
19.
'If (the alchemist) succeeds in transforming the arcane substance, he will
simultaneously accomplish his own wholeness, which will manifest itself as the
glory of the whole world.'[Jung, MC, par. 290]
20.
'If you produce that stone and were consumed and reproduced through that
fire, you will achieve individual and physical immortality, and nothing
less.'[The Paris 4]
'As the alchemists strove to produce an incorruptible, glorified body, they
would attain that state in the Albedo, where the body became no longer subject
to decay.'[Jung, MC, par. 319]
21.
[ Biophoton-image (left) of the human hand ]
'That cells emitted light was first suggested in 1938 by the Russian
biologist Alexander Gurwitsj. 'Every living system emits, absorbs, and stores
light, (...) and every living cell emits at least 100.000 light particles per
second.'[Boswinkel] Untill today though 'nobody knows how biophotons are being
produced. A thing that seems certain is that they are messengers or bosons. They
carry information.'[Boswinkel]'[Richard Morley at
http://www.world-mysteries.com/PhilipGardiner/forbidden_letters_24.htm ]
'The "refracted rays of the Divine in the world and in created things (Caussin)"
correspond to the "certain luminosity" which the
alchemists said was inherent in the natural world.'[Jung, MC, par.
344/emphasis added]
22.
'Here Ripley [ vide
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Ripley_(alchemist)
]
describes the (alchemical) renewal of the King and the birth of the Son as the
manifestation of a new Redeemer, which sounds very queer indeed in the mouth of
a medieval ecclesiastic.'[Jung, MC, par. 443]
'One is driven to conjecture that medieval alchemy was in the last resort a
continuation of the doctrine of the Holy Ghost (i.e. fire/Caz) which never came
to very much in the Church. The Paraclete (i.e. the Holy Ghost/Caz) descends
upon the single individual, who is thereby drawn into the Trinitarian process
(i.e. the Great Work of Alchemy/Caz).'[Jung, MC, par. 444]
23.
'Our gay man likes to point out though that it is not a human who saves, but
the alchemist, so beautifully called 'the only living god'. The 'god within'.
Our gay man feels like an 'object' in all this. He points out that he is of the
opinion that he had no active part in the past 20 years of his Work of the Sun.
It was all done by the 'inner alchemist' he says. It is the alchemist that
saves, not the vessel, meaning our gay man.'[The Paris 4]
'For the Redeemer is, in the view of the alchemists, the inner spritual
man.'[Hippolytus, Elenchos, VII, vide
http://en.wikipedia..org/wiki/Hippolytus_of_Rome
]
24.
'The idea of hermaphroditism has been invoked to explain
homosexuality..'[Lesley Hall]
'The rise of the modern homosexual identity coincides with the death of the
“true" hermaphrodite.'[M. Vicinus]
'In at least the monistic tradition the same religious claim is made for
homosexuality, as is made for androgyny.'[Jones/emphasis
added]
'To further complicate matters, the definitions of androgynous, bisexual,
hermaphrodite and homosexual all overlap in many dictionaries and reference
books. For instance, the first definition of bisexual in Webster's Collegiate
Dictionary is "hermaphrodite", not someone of either sex who's attracted to
both. Yet the same dictionary defines the actual word hermaphrodite as:
1. . . . b. homosexual.
2. something that is a combination of diverse elements.'[Excerpt from 'Bi any
other name: bisexual people speak out' - Alyson Publications, 1991, co-edited by
Loraine Hutchins & Lani Kaahumanu]
'The inversion of the (male-female) roles is probably
the chief psychological source for the alchemical concept
of the hermaphrodite. In a man it's the anima, in a woman it's the
animus.'[Jung, MC, par. 225/emphasis added]
25.
'David Bohm [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bohm ] said that matter is a
kind of condensed or "frozen" light.'[Briggs & Peat, 1984:264]
'The changing of bodies into light, and light into bodies, is very
comformable to the course of Nature, which seems delighted with such
transmutations.'[Isaac Newton]
