Paracelus and roger bacon told us where to start all that time ago.

Also note what St. Didier explicitly mentions about the Nature of the Matter/Fire: That is it of the nature of Calx/Lime.

Also, Calx/Lime (Calcium salts/compounds) are perhaps among the closest in their nature to the Central Salt.

Hi Mr. Andro

You've got me thinking about this.

Why would Calcium salts be closer in their nature to the Central Salt than
the Potassium or Sodium Salts ?

I view these experiments of considerable importance to the comprehension of the
Theory and eventual practice of Alchemy.

Frater Albertus was one of the very, very few Adept Alchemists of the last century.

What follows are some extracts from one of the many classes he taught.

The Water Of Life

In the 1976 American Sexta Class, a theoretical study of water was undertaken, which was followed by the application of a practical demonstration of those aspects of it that were possible to work with within the limited class period. This article is a brief report which, through the combined efforts of students in this class, sets forth simply, without elaboration or intensive elucidation, an abbreviated form of the theory and, as it was demonstrated and known by this class, the results of this theory applied. Primarily, attention is given to the results which show that the water, as it is worked with and subjected to separation, purification, and cohobation, undergoes changes and manifests interesting differences. All else in this report is given only to provide an idea.and to present somewhat of a picture of that from which such results stem.

The changes and manifested differences in the water were observed and extended from the commencement, in these particular experiments, of the water in a stage of putrefaction, as it underwent separation and purification, and finally to the water in a stage of reunification or cohobation.

Two experiments were conducted.

The purpose of the first experiment was to obtain the True Universal Gur.

The purpose of the second experiment was to produce the Archaeus of Water.

Two important procedures that differed were used in the work with the water.

The purpose of the work determines which procedure is to be used and the procedure brings about those results that are of use and of value in the specific work undertaken.

The two procedures should not be confused for they serve two different purposes.

The True Universal Gur

Within water is found the Universal Seed.

Within water is found that which is called the Primamateria, the Pre-Adamic Earth, the True Universal Gur, which contains All the Seeds of the Mineral, Plant, and Animal kingdoms.

The time within the class period allowed only that work which resulted in obtaining a small portion of substance, Tannish in color, designated as the True Universal Gur.

Further experimentation is being conducted and will be conducted by students of this class to further substantiate the results which manifested during the class instruction, to test such a substance by subjecting it to clinical evaluation to find out if it will yield and demonstrate certain manifestations when imbibed with waters according to prescribed procedures.

This work begins, according to the procedure given in Annulus Plotonis by Kirchweger, by collecting the precipitation of dew, rain, snow, hail, or frost.

The use of rainwater is highly recommended.

It is advisable that it be collected at a time when the atmosphere is clear and clean and preferably during a lightning and thunder storm, as there is more nitrogen (niter) -429- found in the precipitation at this time, which is of great importance in the work.

Therefore, the kind of water that is used will make a difference in the results; and it is important that the water be caught before it comes in contact with the earth or any matter upon it.

This water is to be filtered,
placed in a glass container covered lightly to permit air to enter and to keep contaminants out, set in a warm (digestive), isolated place, and left to stand for one month.

The implanted Archaeus spirit (life) within the water causes the water to begin to get a little warmer, to undergo putrefaction, which brings about a separation of the subtle from the coarse.

The water turns turpid, smelly, and slimy.

There appears in the water that which is sponge-like, a Brown Sediment which forms at the top and falls when sufficient has gathered.

This appears to be like fine wool and is slimy to the touch.

In the experiment conducted during the class period, 3000 ml. of putrefied snow water, that had been first thoroughly shaken, was used. It showed .a pH reading of 5.0. By slow distillation, 750 ml. of water was separated and stored in a glass bottle. This water, the first one-fourth was labeled "fire and air of water" and showed a pH reading of 5. 1. A further separation of 2106 ml., approximately three-fourths of the water, was distilled and stored in a glass bottle. This water was labeled "water of water" and showed a pH reading of 4.0. The residue remaining, of a thin, honey-like consistency, was decanted and gently dried. This substance was tannish in color and showed a pH reading of 8.0. When dry, this substance or earth powder was placed in a glass bottle and labeled the "True Universal Gur."

Thus the substance:
Putrefied Snow water pH 5.0
The one substance divided:
First One-Fourth pH 5.1 Approx. Three-Fourths pH 4.0 Residue Remaining pH 8.0

The Archaeus of Water

Water which is highly rectified, that is, by distillation undergoes separation, purification, and cohobation by way of art and correct knowledge, can he used to great benefit as a menstruum for all kingdoms and has in itself, when taken medicinally, curative virtues.

The degree of rectification (refinement) is of great importance, for its usefulness and success as a menstruum for each of the three kingdoms is dependent upon the degree of its rectification.


The water to he worked with is again that which has been collected from atmospheric precipitation and has undergone the stage of putrefication There is first a separation of the water into four divisions, designated as fire of water, air of water, water of water, and earth of water. In water we find all the elemental qualities in one. There is a further separation of each of the four divisions into three divisions, designated as sulphur of fire of water, mercury of fire of water, and salt of fire of water until there is obtained twelve divisions of the separated water. The three essentials are found in everything that nature produces. As separation occurs, purification takes place. Purification is an extension of separation. The cohobation of the waters is in reverse order.

In the experiment conducted during the class period, 2000 nil. of putrefied snow water, showing a pH reading of 5.0 was used. By a gentle distillation, the first one-fourth (500 ml.) of water was separated, stored in a glass bottle and labeled "fire of water" (pH 5.0). A second one-fourth (500 ml.) of water was separated, stored in a glass bottle and labeled "air of water" (pH 5.0). A third one-fourth (500 ml.) of water was separated, stored in a glass bottle and labeled "water of water" (pH 5.0). The last one-fourth (483 ml., somewhat less because of a slight evaporation and a residue which remained in the distillation flask) of water was separated, stored in a glass bottle and labeled "earth of water" (pH 5.0). A residue, having a thin, honey-like consistency, remained in the distillation flask, which was decanted, gently dried, and labeled "true universal gur."

The above four divisions of water - fire, air, water, and earth of water, were each separated into three divisions, designated first as "sulphur of fire of water," second that of "mercury of fire of water," and third that of "salt of fire of water." The remaining three elements, air of water, water of water, and earth of water, were separated into the three essentials, giving, when the separation was complete, twelve divisions of water. The first onethird (1662/3 ml) was distilled from each of the 500 nil., which represented the sulphur; the second onethird (166 2/3 ml.) was distilled, which represented the mercury; and the final one-third (166 2/3 ml.) was distilled, which represented the salt.

When the water was first divided into the four elements, there was observed a slight but significant differentiation in the colorr and quality of the water. For example, the first one-fourth (fire of water) appeared very clear and sparkling in contradistinction to the last one-fourth (earth of water) which appeared slightly cloudy and was of a more viscous nature. At a later stage, as the twelve separated divisions of water were poured during the process of cohobation, there was observed a difference in the quality of these waters as well. There was a variation, a considerable variation in some instances, in the rate of time of the distillation of the elements into their three essentials. When tested with an electronic pH meter, the twelve separated divisions of water showed different readings.

An interesting point is the difference in the Consciousness (sulphur) readings in the earth, water, air, and fire elements.

For example, the sulphur of earth of water showed a pH reading of 3.6 while the sulphur of fire of water showed a pH reading of 6.5. Also, such is noteworthy when one considers that the pH reading of the original water showed 5.0. These and other results are presented for comparison and study in Tables I and II. In Table 1, the results of the PH readings of the water after separation and division into twelve and during the process of cohobation and finally after cohobation are given, along with the pH readings of the separated divisions of water and the gur in the first experiment. Table II shows in a simpler and less detailed form the pH readings, beginning with the original water, through the separation and purification process, and ending with its cohobation which gives the Archaeus.

Because there was some doubt as to the cleanliness of the equipment used in the distillation of the water of water into the sulphur, mercury, and salt, this fact is included. While it has no effect on the results given in regard to the other three elements and their further separation, it is possible that, should the equipment not have been clean, this would have some effect, especially in the last stages of the cohobative process and in the result of the cohobation itself. Thus, it cannot be stated with certainty that this water acually did attain .2 more acidity through the distillation procedure. This calls to our attention the great importance of cleanliness in our work., in both the outer and inner laboratory.
With the above possible and unintentional exception, the changes that took place with the one substance, water, transpired by way of the processes of separation, purification, and cohobation with only the application of heat and with nothing foreign added to the substance itself. The changes which manifested and the differences which are shown to exist within but this one substance, water, are meaningful and significant - not only in what is revealed thereby and the correspondences that may arise from this as pertains to further work with it and with self but in the use of its virtues as they become known and understood and applied for the good of all.

The results, as given within this report, are important for such makes it possible for us to begin to see the value, the Virtues, that are within Living Water.

It is this value, found in the water during its stage of separation and purification as well as in its cohobative stage, which, when once it becomes cognizable, may become, when utilized with understanding, useful and effect some benefit for the good of all upon this earth.

... when man has found God, his own Eternal and Infinite Self, and has thrown away his smaller self, he has himself become the Truth, the Life, the Way, and no longer needs any other way to God. - BHAGAVAN DAS

Thanks for sharing Black.
It's very helpful information.

Based on everything, each of us has to make a decision which alchemical direction we head in based on where exactly we are in the world.
Eg, if you live in Melbourne Australia then you'll have to rely on collecting precipitation because IMO the groundwater in and around there is useless for art.

But I'd take the groundwater from somewhere like Lourdes in France as far superior to dew or rainwater from any place in the world.

I have to confess that I know very little about this man.
Just did a quick search to try to find more and saw that he only lived to 73.
I was surprised that an expert on health, spagyrics, medicines and elixirs could die so relatively young. What happened to him?

[ghetto alchemist]

One of our brothers from the forum recently asked me where I got the information that Living water is connected with ORP readings.

I figured I should tell you all that I got that from Viny Pinto HERE.

Exact quote:
there are some waters from natural healing springs and from (very rare) deep wells which exhibit an ORP in the range of -180 to -300 mv

Hi GA

There are some Adept Alchemists still living now that have been gifted an
exceptionally long life.

There are others that have had a taste of the other side of the Veil and find it
so very painful to stay here any longer than they have to.

I have heard that the time of our lifespan is totally in the hands of the Divine.

I have also been told that if we "Ask" then it may be Granted.

Not every Adept Alchemist is the same ......

The Lower Regions are subject to it! The Upper Regions cannot be without it! It is Nitre which generates all Nature!

Here is the Father of all Things, who causes the Foundations of the Earth to tremble!

Its power has been given to it by the Creator! Its Dominion is over the Skies, the Earth and the Sea!

It is the Adam of all Things, out of which the Eva originates!"

Thank you for sharing about Frater Albertus. I like the way he talks.

Universal Seed, is that like the Universal Seed of Nature? Pre-Adamic Earth very interesting. What color is the Adamic Earth?

Does fine wool appear fluffy/puffy?

in the mines and caverns of the earth, which are viscous water, and subtil spirits running through the pores, veins, and bowels of the mountains.
Of them is produced*a vapour or cloud, which is the substance and body of metals united, ascending, and reverberating upon its own proper earth,
(as Geber sheweth) even till by a temperate digestion
through the space of a thousand years, the matter is fixed, and converted into a mineral stone, of which metals are made.
