    Dear Rawn,

    as usual your explanations are fertilizing the own thoughts and experiences.
    But there still is left one point worth discussing:

    You wrote: >Power is a product of the clarity with which a *form* (be it
    physical, astral or mental form) expresses its (Akashic) essential meaning.
    The metals express their essential meaning with great clarity at each
    level -- 24k Gold being an example of perfect clarity in which even the
    physical form is a perfectly clear expression of the essential meaning.<

    Would this mean that the purer a metal the stronger its power?

    In alchemical writings you often can find declarations the raw material i.e.
    the ore of a metal be more located to the root of the metal or in your terms
    to its expression of its essential (akashic) meaning (of all three levels
    mental, astral and physical) than the perfectly purified metal. They say,
    that an ore after heating and reducing it to the pure metal looses its
    ability to become living in an alchemical sense. They say, the metal be dead
    instead of still alive. How can you explain the difference between your
    statement of a pure metall having "more power" to these traditional
    statements of being dead i.e. without still containing the living metallic
    energy of life?

    According to my experience there is an explanation which can bring together
    both seemingly contradictory "theories". A pure metal is very closed in an
    alchemical sense, i.e. to release its great power is the more difficult the
    purer the metal is. And because WITHOUT THE AID OF A MEDDLE MATTER - the
    universal solvent - you never can get the energies you are searching for: a
    pure especially a precious metal is "dead". But "dead" means in no way
    "without power", it only means useless for alchemy because of the lack of
    its own medium for releasing power. Or: A metal is too much closed in our
    physical world so that we could use its hidden fire or inner energy
    directly.

    But the ore of a specific metal is still in its natural matrix i.e. bound to
    a kind of womb of its being so that using the ore together with its matrix
    it is much easier to release the energies of the hidden metal though the ore
    itself really is impure and cannot express the essential meaning with such a
    great clarity than the pure metal is able to. In an ore the essential
    meaning is strongly darkened, but nevertheless an ore is more alive than the
    pure metal enclosed in it.

    The important conclusion: The essential meaning is much clearer and more
    perfectly expressed in a pure metal. But to really release it practically
    it's easier to use an ore. Or - as an alternative of great practical
    importance - if you know the mentioned "meddle matter", you can directly
    extract the essence out of a pure metal easier than using the ore (another
    seeming contradiction). In the alternative case you only have to learn how
    you can get your "meddle matter" outside of the ore or metal you are working
    with.

    So the contradiction is only a seeming one. Regarding the clarity a pure
    metal has reached a much higher level than an ore. But regarding the
    easiness to extract the pure energies hidden in the metal the usage of an
    ore is the more appropriate method.

    Could you agree with this my explanation from a magical point of view i.e.
    "reading in and out of the things"? Have you some more thoughts about this
    matter very basic to alchemy?

    Kind regards and all the best for you as always

    Beat Krummenacher
