Quintessence
The following meditation is for invoking the Akasha/Quintessence/Aether. I have noticed when doing this meditation; it amplifies whatever element I have been invoking. I have felt pronounced effects hours and days late, like the burning heat from fire and cold from water sort of thing. It is said the quintessence leads to mastering all four elements. With invoking the quintessence, one should be in a deep trance and have a spaceless falling sensation. I felt the energy like a warm glow. The Mage card in the Tarot represents the mastering of all of the four elements as the foundation of advanced magick. ** Here is the meditation and info: "It has been mentioned in the theoretical part that the elements originate in the akasha principle, by which they are dominated and kept in the correct balance. After a long time of exercising, a magician who has achieved good results with the elements will also be able to control the finest principle, that is the astral ether." 1. Go into a medium trance and close your eyes. Imagine that you are in the center of an unlimited space. There is no above or below or sideways. This unlimited space is filled with the finest energetic matter, the universal ether. Ether is colorless, but to our senses it appears to be of ultra-violet, near black-violet color, and this is the color in which we imagine the etheric matter. 2. Breathe in the akasha/ether, visualizing yourself surrounded by the black-violet energy as you would with energy breathing and fill your entire being with it for eleven breaths. In performing this exercise, you have to retain the feeling of being united to the entire infinite space. You have to be as it were completely secluded from the world. It is necessary to become acquainted with this unusual state of mind." 3. Meditate on the feeling you get from invoking this energy for 10-15 minutes.
"We have heard that akasha is the primary source, the sphere of all causes. Any deliberate cause, such as a wish, a thought, any imagination created in this sphere together with the dynamic conviction is bound to be realized with the help of the elements, regardless of the level or sphere on which the realization necessarily has to be performed. This is one of the greatest magic mysteries and a universal key for the magician, who will understand its range only later on in the course of his development."
Aether (classical element) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (Redirected from Quintessence (alchemy)) "The aether is the fifth classical element in ancient Greek philosophy and science. This Greek concept seems to derive directly from the akasha, its Hindu counterpart. In Greek doctrines it seems that the aether was the celestial fire, the pure essence where the gods lived and which they breathed. In this connection, it seems that aether is radiative heat like that of the sun, which is able to propagate in empty space. The Greek word aither derives from an Indo-European root aith- ("burn, shine"). This root figures in the name of Aithiopia (Ethiopia), which means something like "burnt land". Aether was once believed to be a substance which filled all of space. Aristotle included it as a fifth element (the quintessence) on the principle that nature abhorred a vacuum. Oliver Nicholson points out that, in contrast to the better known luminiferous aether of the 19th century, the older concept of the classical aether had three properties. Among these characteristics, the classical aether had a non-material property, was "less than the vehicle of visible light", and was responsible for "generating metals" along with fostering the development of all bodies.[1] Robert Fludd stated that the aether was of the character that it was "subtler than light". Fludd cites the 3rd century view of Plotinus, concerning the aether as penetrative and non-material. [2] Other 1800s views, such as James Clerk Maxwell, Lord Kelvin, and Nikola Tesla, was of the disposition that the aether was more akin to it actually being the electromagnetic field. In modern physics, dark energy is sometimes called quintessence due to its similarity to the classical aether.
