Chapter 7 THE INVERSION OF THE LAWS OF POLARITY
The study of organized Magic reveals the profound interplay between spiritual and material principles, with the soul governed by numerical or mathematical laws and the body by geometric principles influenced by astrological forces. Magic, as an ancient practice, bridges these realms, enabling communication with divinity through the forces of Nature.
- Magic and the Neutral Zone:
- Central to Magic is the concept of the “neutral zone,” a state of perfect equilibrium between opposing forces (e.g., polarity, gravity, or energy). This zone is a source of immense creative power, enabling levitation, healing, and transmutation.
- The neutral zone is not a void but a “creative interval” where the energies of opposing forces merge, producing harmony and balance. This principle applies universally, from atoms to human bodies and cosmic systems.
- Alkahest: The Primordial Essence:
- Alkahest, the “universal solvent,” is the pure, primordial essence of creation, found in neutral zones. It is the foundation of all matter and energy, free from karma and eternally unchanging.
- Magicians use Alkahest to manipulate matter, transmute elements, and perform acts of healing and redemption. Its purity requires the Magician to embody spiritual purity and harmony.
- Healing and Redemption:
- Healing Magic involves restoring balance within the etheric, emotional, and mental bodies by resolving conflicts of polarity. This process relies on the Magician’s ability to radiate neutral energy, derived from their own inner harmony and connection to Alkahest.
- Compassion, born from love for God and charity toward others, is the driving force behind healing. It allows the Magician to channel energies that harmonize and heal, even influencing karma.
- The Science of Intervals:
- The “Science of Intervals” focuses on creating neutral spaces within the mind, emotions, and body. These intervals allow for inspiration, regeneration, and redemption, forming the basis of spiritual growth and magical work.
- True breathing, as taught in esoteric practices, begins with mental intervals, leading to spontaneous harmony in the emotional and physical bodies.
- Transmutation and Spiritual Purity:
- The Magician’s ultimate goal is the transmutation of their own material nature, turning the “lead” of lower vibrations into the “gold” of spiritual realization. This inner transformation enables them to influence their environment through radiation.
- Transmutation is not about material gain but about dignifying and spiritualizing matter, aligning it with divine purpose.
- The Role of Space and Spirit:
- Space, as the pure matrix of creation, holds the essence of Alkahest and the Spirit. It is the source of all forms and energies, embodying the unity of Spirit and Matter.
- The Magician’s work is to reconcile and harmonize these forces, using their will and purity to align with the divine Plan.
In summary, organized Magic is the art of harmonizing spiritual and material forces through the mastery of neutral zones, the use of Alkahest, and the cultivation of inner purity. It is a path of healing, redemption, and transmutation, where the Magician becomes a co-creator with the divine, radiating light and balance into the world.
