The Mayan Mysteries

Description of the Mercurial Stone

This stone is very much destroyed, so it is a little difficult to study.

It has a human countenance.

The ears with big hoop earrings indicate the necessity of knowing how to listen, of knowing how to pay attention to wisdom.

The positive and negative forces, the mercury and sulfur of the great philosophers, are perfectly symbolized at each side.

The mercury, in the internal part, takes the shape of pages or sheets of a book. The mercury is nothing other than the metallic soul of the sacred sperm, and is esoterically organized in the shape of sheets or pages of a book; this can be seen by any person that has the Eye of Dangma opened; this is how it is seen: in the shape of sheets of paper. The mercury has always been represented like that on the ancient stones from the north as well as from the south, from the east and from the west. We, who know this and who have heard about the book of figures of Nicolas Flamel, do not find any other representation of the mercury and sulfur in their positive and negative form.

The transversal lines show us that the mercury and the sulfur have been transmuted; thus this is how it also appears on distinct sacred books.

All the populaces of the Earth knew alchemy and kabbalah. Nicolas Flamel spoke about alchemy, and the Mayans are no exception.

The principles of all metals are salt,⁠1 sulfur, and mercury.

Mercury alone, or sulfur alone, or salt alone could never give origin to any metal, yet when they are united, they give origin to the diverse metals and minerals. Therefore, it is logical that our philosophical stone must inevitably have these three principles.

Fire is the sulfur in alchemy.

Mercury is the spirit in alchemy.

Salt is the mastery of alchemy.

To elaborate the red elixir and the white elixir, we inevitably need a substance in which salt, sulfur, and mercury are found completely pure and perfect. This is because the impurity and the imperfection of the alloy are again found in the amalgam.

However, since nothing can be aggregated to the metals except for the substances that are extracted from them, it is logical that any extracted substance cannot serve us. Therefore, the prima matter of the great work must be found within ourselves.

We perfect that substance (the prima matter) according to the art, and this substance is the sacred fire of our organic laboratory. This substance, being semi-solid and semi-liquid, has a pure, clear, white, and red mercury, and a similar sulfur. Moreover, this substance possesses two types of salt: one fixed and the other volatile. This prima matter of the great work is nothing other than the semen of our sexual glands.

With our science and by means of fire, we transform this marvelous substance for it to be millions of times more perfect at the end of the work; thus, this is how we elaborate the red elixir and the white.

Arnold of Villanova, Albert the Great, Raymond Lully, and many other alchemists give the designation of mercury to the sacred sperm, which is designated as mercury by the great alchemists.

Each thing can be disarranged to its own elements. With the help of heat, we can disarrange ice into water, because water is the element of ice. Therefore, all the metals of the Earth can be disarranged into mercury, because mercury is the prima matter of all the metals.

The human being can be disarranged to semen, because this is the element that he emerged from. Each thing can be disarranged to the elements of which it is composed.

Before the metals can be transmuted, firstly they must be reduced to their prima matter. Likewise, before the human being can be redeemed of his sins and enter into the kingdom of heaven, he must first be reduced to his prima matter so that he can be transmuted into the heavenly man of which Saint Paul spoke.

“Change nature to find what you seek.” —Villanova, Semita Semitae (Road of Roads)

The semen is transformed into spirit, and the spirit is seminized.

When he opened the path of initiation, the divine master gave us the first teaching that was sexual alchemy. Christ transmuted the water into wine at the wedding of Cana.

It is necessary to transmute the water into wine to self-realize oneself in depth as a master of the mahamanvantara.

The mercury is a golden and rare spiritual liquor.

The mercury is the flying eagle of philosophy.

The mercury is our chaos.

The mercury is our semen.

This stela speaks very much; it is a complete, marvelous, and unique book of alchemy.

1A symbolic element in Alchemy.

"Salt is the substance of all things, and the fixed principle of all that exists. Salt works upon Sulfur and Mercury. Thus, Sulfur and Mercury make Salt volatile, just as they are. Salt thickens them and makes them fixed in return. When Salt is dissolved in an appropriate liquor, then it dissolves solid things and gives them consistency. Salt gives a form of perfection to sexual alchemy’s Child of Gold. Salt dissolves our metals to elaborate the Child of Gold of sexual alchemy with them. The volatile Salt prepares the larynx to speak the verb of Gold... Our Philosophical Earth, which is our human body, must be reduced to its seminal Salts to elaborate sexual alchemy’s Child of Gold." —Samael Aun Weor, Treatise of Sexual Alchemy
