Almanac – The Three Essentials
February 7th, 2014This week’s Almanac entry is the Three Essentials. The soul of Sulfur and the spirit of Mercury unite to create the body of Salt. Salt provides the form to the consciousness and the life force of its parents, yet it is the result of their existence. In alchemical theory, consciousness creates life and together they beget the body. So René Descartes famous quote “I think therefore, I am.” is literally true for alchemy.
Another interesting fact In alchemical theory. Sulfur represents energy, Mercury represents light. and Salt represents mass. Alchemists understood the relationship between energy, mass, and light as they are the Three Essentials that comprise all existance. This relationship would later be given substance of a scientific equation of Sulfur = Salt x Mercury2. Einstein may have used different notation.
