The entrance into the soul from the outside world is through poetry. The inclusion of meter was once considered an important essential part of poetry writing. The long absence of meter reflects on the present condition of the soul. One such writer warned of the dangers in losing meter. An essay describes the sudden loss occurring all around at the time. Dionysius of Halicanasus warned of this loss. If music be the food of love, then by all means please my dear friends play your instruments. There is an absence of using Hickory Dickory Dock the eagle produced a rainbow of colored flowers in our writings. What does that tell us of our soul? In the situation of painting the astral body presses upon the etheric body. Thus Cain and Abel unique form of cooperation has two effects. The ego, life conditions, and experiences are subordinate. The psychic moon is allowed to express itself directly with the astral body. The Ego is connected to music. The spirit self is connected to poetry. In music different worlds can be accessed through pitch. The tonic and physical body are related. Major second the etheric body. Major third the astral body, Major fourth intellectual soul, Major fifth is connected with the conscious soul. A way to different worlds through art is proposed by Rudolf Steiner. He described the Physical body to be connected to architecture. Etheric body is connected to Sculpture. The Astral body is connected to Painting. Reference: Art as seen in the light of mystery wisdom. Our writer has a strong interest in fiction and science. A fine example of his work is called. The Case of Dexter Ward. The beginning of the piece has a curious passage attributed to a Borellus. The topic of the passage appears to be that of suspended animation. The author of the work is quite gifted as this Borellus reference is the work of Howard Philips Lovecraft. In the year 1676 a Pierre Borel published a tome of physical phenomenon reported over four hundred years. Despite the events, little in terms of any sense could be ascribed. Yet they were repeatable in the sense that during the seasons someone would experience them. The title of the work is Four Centuries of Medico-physical Observations . (The Latin spelling of Borel is Borellus) One of the topics involves the observations of the formation of plants in ice. Example 1. There is talk of a magician, who is said to have produced wonderful figures of flowers in the ice of the town-moat. This, said Borel, is not magic. He described it in terms employed by alchemists. Salt is the fat of the earth; when washed from it, the earth is barren till more is drawn from the air by magnetic force. For this reason the Apostles were said to be salt of the Earth. the salt takes forms when it becomes solid, because of the soul that is in it. The strong impregnation of salt in the town-moat caused the forms to appear in the ice: and they were plant forms because the mixture with salts of innumerable plants. For the figure of a plant lies hidden in its salt, as is seen in the ashes of brunt plants when frozen, as Quercetanus relates of nettles. Joseph Duchesne, or in latin Quercetanus, performed work on the burning of Nettles. . . . and had drawn the salt from the ashes of some burnt nettles, and exposed the lye to the dew in winter, be found it frozen in the morning, but with this wonderful circumstance, the species of the nettles, their form and figure were so naturally and perfectly delineated upon the ice, that they formed to be true nettles. His conclusion This is a secret, which shows, that though the bodies die, yet their forms still continue in their ashes. Example 2 In another place he says that the resurrection of plants was shown in Paris, in jars half full of water, at the price of five pieces to each spectator. Others, he says, of further, and really produce in a certain fluid, from the separated principles of the plant, another like plant, in a short time, without earth. To which Stephen Bressidus, an acute chemist. was. he says. eye-witness. Bressidus proved also the exhalation of the immortal souls of plants with their refined salts into the air, by observing that when he collected a quantity of dew. which froze and broke the bottle. he beheld in it a tree with roots and branches, leaves and fruit. Example 3 Beguin said again that he had grown plants from their salts, placed instead of their seeds into the earth; and had raised from the dung of animals, plants similar to those which they had eaten. Another chemist, M. Barlet. was delighted to find the image of a sweet-scented herb in the frozen contents of a night-pan. There is of course something deeper going on is these formations of leaves and flowers in ice. In terms of any satisfactory theory there is none. A completely different subject has evolved using these observations to support the ability of succeeding generations to generate the characteristics of the ancestor. This in fact is called Palingenesis. A poem that demonstrates this concept is believed to have been written in 1646 This plant thus calcined into dust, In its ashes rest it must, Until sweet Psyche shall inspire, A softening and prolific fire, And in her fostering arms enfold This heavy and this earthy mould. Then as I am I'll be no more. But bloom and blossom as before, When this cold numbness shall retreat By a more than chymic heat. The work has no author. One source is from the book: The King and the commons: Cavalier and Puritans, edited by Henry Morley, 1869, Scribner and sons. The atmosphere provided in the editor's introduction implies a monument. However, this is a literary device as no address of the place is indicated. The search for the mind sense interface in the past three hundred years has produce a large amount of literature. Some has been forgotten only to be resuscitated. A mental process proscribed by alchemists has been an indirect source to explain ice forming flowers and leaves. Although a specific flower might be hard to identify without knowing the energy source that has not prevented speculation to use this concept in completely different areas. This of course must still be verified. Without a confirmation the concept remains speculation. Paracelsus writes about how to work with astral light by the mind. He does not speculate or proposed experiments. If a thing loses its material substance, the invisible form still remains in the light of nature (the astral light); if we can re-clothe that form with visible matter, we may make that form visible again. All matter is composed of three elements--Sulphur , mercury, and salt. By Alchemical Means we may create a magnetic attraction in the astral form, so that may attract it possessed before its mortification, and incorporate them and become visible again. I stressed the words above for the reader's benefit. The methods of alchemy do not involve physical laboratory manipulations observed in a chemical laboratory. These are completely distinct. The laboratory of the alchemist is the physical body and the mind. In other words the trinity of body, soul, and spirit. Source Life of Paracelsus by Franz Hartmann Paracelsus text: De Resuscitationibus In the theory of crystallization the formation of a nucleus of an ice crystal on a surface requires an imperfection, a scratch, a dust particle. The reason why leaves and flower patterns form is not explained. if the crystal in question to form a specific pattern was hydroxyapatite ( Ca5(PO4)3(OH) )[the numbers should be subscripts] an important question arises. How does the same mineral form teeth and bones? Every bone and tooth has a different surface. The details of how these materials form is not understood completely. It is believed that proteins form a template to guide how the crystals should form. This work has many questions yet to be answered. William Reich investigated how dead matter gave organic structural forms. A link to his experiments and photographs of these structures can be obtained here at this link. He considered that the non living as the basis of the living. He prepared water infusions of dead moss and grass. By microscope observations he would wait until 1 micron oval vesicles wee released into the solution. He termed them Bions. As time progressed the bions would congregate and form little neighborhoods. These structures would join together and form new membrane structures. New microorganisms emerged from this process, indistinguishable from similar microorganisms observed in soils and ponds. A publication in 2002 describes work to produce these Bions. Confer James DeMeo 2002 Bion Biogenesis. Reich noted that a cyclic process is involved. This cycle must be observed in one revolution. Bionous disintegration and re-organization is not at the molecular level. The spontaneous assembly of proteins and DNA are still in an infant state of research. A review on these structures is available here at this link. Natural Supramolecular Protein Assemblies. Bas J. G. E. Pieters Chemistry Society Reviews October 26, 2015. To observe a cyclic assembly and disassembly of a molecular system of a polymer, protein, RNA, or DNA has not been observed frequently. Spontaneous assembly of polymer is known. Out of respect for Mr Lovecraft's interest in science we will mention an amino acid compound that clusters together to form spherical structures but can alter this shape and form tubes. The paper can be found here at this link. Above can be seen spherical structures. After 42 hours the structures are no longer this shape. They appear fibrous. This is like the resemblance of nerve cells. These images are obtained by Transmission electron microscopy. The electron itself clusters together and is our wave of light. The cluster of molecules of this amino acid are the Venetian Blinds that serve as a diffraction grating. As a result we obtain images of light and dark objects. Our Amino Acid compound is labeled as Fmoc-DOPA. The structural formula of Fmoc-DOPA can be observed in the drawing above. Nothing from this drawing indicates its shape and how a cluster of these would form a spherical topology. The sphere is what William Reich observed emanating from the dead grass, and moss water preparations. A visual representation shows change in cluster occurs. On the far left the turbid solution is prepared by making a stock reservoir solution of 100 mg/ml of Fmoc-DOPA in Ethanol (Ethyl Alcohol). A sample is taken and diluted with distilled water to make a concentration of 1 mg/ml. The result of these manipulations is the turbid white appearing liquid containing solid particles. The middle photograph, we are informed, is at 2 weeks time. A solid phase appears at the top of the glass vial. Colorless, clear liquid appears below. A visual transformation is occurring. The semi solid is a gel. The water and ethanol form a matrix for the Fmoc-DOPA to develop inside. The word matrix implies a womb. In 2 months after the experiment was begun we can observe interesting transformations. The oblong shaped objects inside the gel are crystals. It is interesting how many of the terms in scientific research come from alchemy and the Higher Sciences. There are now currently 22 amino acids detected in the chemistry of living tissues. Two are interesting in themselves as they demonstrate our ignorance. These two are called Selenocysteine and Pyrrolysine. A research paper based on detecting these amino acids in protein sequences can be found here at this link. Ideas about how these two amino acids form structures is proposed in a paper available here at this link. The astral light is often referred to by its stellar nature. That of course means not thinking of stars in the heavens only. The astral light plays an important role in the nervous system.
The photograph above is an example of Zodiacal light. The zodiacal light is a physical phenomenon. It too would have an astral counterpart. To say that the zodiacal light serves as the astral companion of the dawn would not be correct. This feature tends to be strongest in a western sky than in an eastern sky. A collection of dust and ice particles surrounding the sun reflect sunlight along the elliptic . The appearance is described as ghostly.
