Considerations about the Archaeus of Water

It's an undeniable fact: we all know that water carries the seed of life within. Many alchemists starts their first steps into the labyrinths of this Art by embracing the experiments with the Archaeus of Water. To the initiates into the alchemical arts, The Archaeus of Water is an evolved form of water obtained by a complex series of alchemical operations.
This "special" purified and charged water is called Archaeus or First being of water and it's used by alchemists for several preparations and consumption.

It's not my intention to discuss the long term procedures to prepare the Archaeus in this Article but to discuss the science, the common mistakes during preparation and importance of it.

To start, let's define the term Archaeus.

Archaeus, from the Greek archeios, is a term coined by Paracelsus to describe the meaning of vital force.
Consequently, Archaeus of Water is the vital force and agency of water.
Here I will enter with the first mistake that many initiates do when preparing the Archaeus, the misconception of it's nature.
An important Arcanun to start with: the Archaeus is of a magnetic nature. Initiates who fails to understand this concept have been lost inside the alchemical riddles and symbolism hunting for the wrong thing.
Books won't tell you this neither the steps on spagyrics courses. Therefore what is said about alchemy is true: you need an alchemical mind, a higher and subtle perception of the art.

Back to science: Recent studies into the fields of theoretical physics brings us theories stating that magnetic bodies could be the intentional agents in living matter. Furthermore we know that the magnetic bodies of water molecules need metabolic energy for communications with their "biological body". There is no obvious source for this energy in water.

It's where our fire is needed. By the way: Careful with your alchemical fire. Modern science states: in nature energy never just dissipates.

What we are doing is potentiating also the water memory. A small bservation about the fire: The mere fact that we know something about some object or direct attention to it would mean a concrete interaction of our magnetic body with the object.
One may ask: Could also the water molecule clusters having these magnetic bodies replicate and give rise to a growing population of molecular actors representing the molecule?

The answer perhaps can be found at the alchemical operations of multiplication and projection.

Paracelsus noted: "Nothing of true value is located in the body of a substance, but in the virtue thereof, and this is the principle of the Quintessence, which reduces, say 20 lbs. of a given substance into a single Ounce, and that ounce far exceeds the 20 lbs. in potency. Hence the less there is of body, the more in proportion is the virtue thereof."

The famous theoretical physicist Matti Pitkanen attests: "The original idea was that water molecule clusters are able to mimic the bio-molecules themselves -say their vibrational and rotational spectra could coincide with those of molecules in reasonable approximation. A more natural idea is that they can mimic their field bodies."

I'll leave it to your interpretations.


And at last but not least, another common mistake on the preparation of Archaeus:

Science States: "liquid water essentially loses the memory of persistent correlations in its structure" within fifty millionths of a nanosecond"

This could throw away all what we know about the property of water to have a memory... only IF...

Facts: In the 1990s, for instance, physicist Julian Barbour proposed that time must not exist in a quantum theory of the universe. In truth, science now increasingly suspect that time is not a fundamental feature of nature, but rather an artefact of our perception.

At my latest published work about secrets of transmutation, I've made a reference about Time. In this reference, I've brought the "Isis the Prophetess to Her Son Horus," found in the Codex Marcianus, a medieval (11th century) collection of Greek fragments which states that "The most guarded secret is that of time itself, and the secret of all secrets, according to the Builder texts at Edfu, involves the beginning and end of "time."
I've also made an statement: The Operation of the Sun involves and requires the understanding of an ultimate truth about time and existence.

When I attested that the alchemist must transport himself to the alchemical time in order to operate any alchemical operations I mean this: the dynamics of the universe can be described as a network of correlations, rather than as an evolution in time.
The alchemist must operate in the same frame as creation operates. It must be the first to help pave a path to a time-free "theory of everything" meaning to us, "Oneness"

I'd like to speak more about the subject of time in another thread and I'll certainly do so. But for now, I'll leave a last statement from Dr. Rovelli:

"It is not reality that has a time flow, it is our very approximate knowledge of reality that has a time flow,"

So before working with the potential of the Archaeus of water, remember this:

"Time is the effect of our ignorance."

Prepare the Archaeus correctly and you'll have a treasure of undeniable value. Solve et Coagula my friends!
