| That is to say, whatever is in the belief system of the priest or Rabbi is projected into the mind of the “true believer,” inference of miniscule details of data can have transference into the subject’s weaker mind. Just the mere suggestion of ideas can have profound effects on the subconscious of the “true believer.” Which is not to say that there is no such thing as true possession. But, like we will see soon, as with UFOs, each case should be looked at independently, and not grouped together so fast. It’s also possible that people who were studying Kabbalah were also engaging in types of sorcery such as intentional contact with supernatural beings. If this is the case, then possession is likely one of two things: Either channeling occurrences that are not understood, or able to be controlled, which continue long after the session has ended; or perhaps, they are being influenced by the spirits of the herbs and medicines. Personally, I think possession can take place, but it’s also not explained or understood very well by many people. More than one spirit can inhabit a body at one time, I think. It’s not necessarily possession per se. Some people may serve as “walk-ins” or “exchanges” to do or accomplish certain tasks, and this may also be another aspect of one’s own self. (12) I have been a witness to several “possession” episodes myself, and have no doubt about it being a real phenomenon of some kind. As I will soon cover, there exists a wide variety of “living beings” which exist in the same world as us, but are not visible to the eyes, and these “living beings” fly about and do all kinds of things we have no awareness of yet, scientifically. The Philosopher Stone European Alchemy is all about the attainment of the “Philosopher Stone,” therefore it may better be termed “philosophical alchemy.” The source of this has been a secret among the alchemists since the 1400’s when these writings first appeared. The entire story is woven around the mushroom, and the drinking of the urine, after the mushroom is consumed. But this may not be the whole truth, as I have found. There may possibly be more to it, which will be explained in this chapter. Urine consumption seems to have been a staple part of mushroom use dating back to the Rg Veda, as we have seen. What is meant by the “blood of Christ” and why should we consume it? As we read in John 6:56: “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them.” In an alchemical image of the “Mercurial Christ,” a man is filling his cup with the blood of Christ (74c). Just a few hundred years prior, the Macclesfield Psalter, c. 1320-1330 AD, depicts a man filling a cup with another man’s urine (67d). Obviously, someone is trying to tell us something, or rather, keep it hidden and occulted. |
 (74c) Mercurial Christ  (67d) Macclesfield Psalter c. 1320-1330 AD Nicolas Barnaud (1538–1604) was a French Protestant writer, physician and alchemist, from Crest, in Dauphiné, from which he took the name Delphinas (or Delphinus). He is thought to have authored the Book of Lambspring. The Book of Lambspring (Compendium Naturalis) is dated to 1556 and contains a treatise devoted to inner and outer alchemy. The tract is structured with a sequence of 15 allegorical drawings identifying alchemical stages. Now, reading from the Book of Lambspring we learn more about the “Philosopher’s Stone”: Fig. 6 reads: “This surely is a great miracle and without any deception – that in a venomous dragon there should be the great medicine. The Mercury is precipitated or sublimed, dissolved in its own proper water, and then once more coagulated.”  (12) Hebrew Goddess, p. 193 |
