Table of ElementsTable of Elements

Mendeleiev Table of ElementsLecturer: Jean DubuisTranslator: Patrice MalzCommentary by Russ House is indicated as [RH: ...]O.K. What you will hear now is relatively new stuff you will never readthis in alchemical books.This theoretical aspect allows you to not have any problems with classicalwork. What will be said here results from numerous studies andexperiments. The alchemists are not quite agreed with the Mendeleiev tablebut have agreed it's a very useful tool. (points to chart) This table isdivided in rows - it's divided in columns and rows - horizontal layers.Usually these layers are called periods. In fact, we have seen in our workthat if this table was modified, correspondence would occur between the 7periods and the 7 sephiroth of (theology?) (the qabala tree?).Such as it is, there is no correspondence, but the columns - each of thecolumns - corresponds to a function of nature. And as I will try toexplain it's very interesting to tell that work. To (avoid?) what seems tobe already made solutions - approximately - coming down in the layers herecorresponds to the densification of the matter. On the other hand, columnsgive very precise things. In fact there's only 8 columns, and every columncorresponds to an external layer of electrons. That means in every atom

there is a kernel and several layers of electrons but the only thing thatinterests chemistry and alchemy is the outside layer.When there is only one electron, the elements correspond to the firstcolumn here and you will have to have this column here. In the table thatwe gave you - columns are divided into A & B - because the chemist had todivide these groups into A & B because of non-compatible chemicalproperties. In the table you have and the paper you will be given, I havewritten down that in certain cases it's A and in other cases it's the B.But it's not very important in the beginning of the work.Yesterday explained the problem of the 4 elements, that were 4 types ofenergy, like 4 colors, and that Fire is the principle animating nature.All the elements of column 1 bear the Fire in our world. But when the Firecomes from the sun it's undetermined - this will be detailed in the SecretFire lecture.The first layer of the Fire in our world is hydrogen. It's a very psychic

Fire, completely undetermined. We'll see later on that column 6 is thecolumn of life, and when the original Fire is associated to the column oflife it gives H2O, the natural water. And this will allow to explain theproperties of water in the Archus and Gur.The second element bearing Fire is lithium. At this level the Fire doesn'tbelong to a kingdom, but Fire contained in lithium has a lot of effect onfishes and on man.When Fire keeps coming down it arrives on this third element sodium and inthis case Fire that has been incorporated in sodium is now set to akingdom and it will be Fire of the animal kingdom. It's the Fire thatallows animal life through sodium chloride that's in the blood.When Fire keeps coming down it comes to potassium. When the Fire contactspotassium it belongs to the vegetable kingdom.These three elements (points to 1A?) have no relevance for us(alchemists). We come to 1B, copper, silver, and gold. They bear themetallic Fire. When we will imitate this, you will understand why thesethree things (elements) are linked in the metallic work, because these arethe elements that bear the metallic Fire.To give an extra explanation on the first column, the Fire isnon-determined in the air. You can either put a salt of sodium or a saltof potassium - the deliquescence, to obtain deliquescent salt. Here theliquids will give something for the animal kingdom. Here the deliquescencemost fluid is the potassium carbonate. It's a product that will beexclusively set to the vegetable work. We'll see this on rapid fabricationof stones. I won't speak here of the deliquescence of these elements,these are very complex and I don't think these should be spoken of in the

Table of Elementsfirst lecture.All you need to know first is that when reanimating mercury, whether Lunaror Venusian, these will bear the Fire that will allow later to animategold. Would you like any further explanation on number 1?Q. I know in psychiatric nursing, listening to people that are in care formanic depression, and I was wondering if you would highlight the use oflithium?A. We would just stress that the psychosomatic effects of lithium would berelated to the Fire. That's all because there's no reason to work on this(lithium) in the alchemical work. We only stress what's in interest to us,you know?Column number 2 - All of these (2A) as far as alchemy is concerned are ofno interest, the interest is in 2B: zinc, cadmium, and mercury. Column 2has its number there, it's the number of duality, and metals here incolumn 2 are metals that will make the link between two worlds. Theirenergies allow consciousness between spiritual and material. In our actualwork we only use mercury (Hg), but if you have books especially ancientGerman alchemist's books they would have used zinc as metallic mercury. Wewon't speak of it today because it doesn't concern the Flamel work andthese are chemically complex operations. The cadmium that bears the godCadmus' name has been thought of by most recent alchemists, but it canalso be used as a mercury. We have a research program on it so we don't

speak of it, and we must be very careful because cadmium is quite toxic.Q. Question on calcium?A. O.K. We haven't spoken much on calcium, but it's of very littleinterest. It's only use in alchemy is merely taking water out of alcoholby calx. In the work here, calcium will have practically no interest. Aswe only have two days for all this we will only stress what we thinkimportant.Column 3 - It has no use in alchemy, but you must be very careful with it.The elements of (column) 3 must not be in contact with alchemical productsbecause the elements of this column have the properties to bringalchemical death. You must be very careful particularly on aluminum andboron. When your crucibles will be very dirty the only way to get rid ofthe heavy scoria is to have borax melt in the crucible, to have it clean -the borax will do it for you. Then after that you have to get rid of theboron that's left in the crucibles. You can boil two or three times in

boiling water. And heat it (crucibles) gently in an electric furnace. Ifyou use borax to make a glass of antimony it will lead to big problemsbecause the ---- have curious properties - leads to breaking Soxhlets veryeasily, and can only be extracted with Fumagawa. In this extractor theextracting cartridge is in - (Marc Gerald draws the extractor)(discussion) Do you know this thing called the Fumagawa? It's not aSoxhlet. In the Soxhlet the cartridge is cold. In the Fumagawa thecartridge is hot, and the heat of the extracting water allows to extractborax before it swells too much and explodes.Q. What is it?A. It's Japanese. (Laughs.)Column 4 - The most important. If you don't understand very well whathappens in column 4 don't start with the acetate work. This column 4carbon - you must be careful that in nature there's a lot of symbols andthe atom with 4 electrons is the symbol of the quaternary. And it's thebase of all vegetable and animal life. All the vegetable and animalchemistry is the chemistry of carbon - organic chemistry. That means thatvegetal or animal life can be fixed on atoms that have four electrons.The second element (of column 4) is silicon and in silicon modernchemistry played nearly an alchemical role - it's silicon chemistry.Silicon. In silicon chemistry organic structures have been put on amineral instead of carbon. In this column there would be metals veryinteresting for alchemy - germanium and tin. But unfortunately theirchemical properties make an alchemical work nearly impossible on them. Nottheoretically, but practically. But if we reach now - lead - lead is theonly regular metal that has four electrons. A real KEY on the acetate work

3/5

Table of Elements- as there are four external electrons, the vegetable or animal life canbe fixed on lead. The way of acetates that people have spoken of andmainly Newton, consists in transferring vegetable life on lead.Because vegetable life is much more conscious than mineral life andevolution processes of lead are multiplied by a factor of several million.I think we will have to explain acetates in detail but don't forget thatduring these explanations the problem is to transfer Fire from here tothere (column1 to column 4) to transfer vegetable Fire on lead.I will give all details and necessary precautions. Questions on column 4?This is a short cut so we don't have time to go element by element. Butthis is just to give you an idea that you can set your mind on.Q. Is germanium an important alchemical element?A. It could be, but its chemical properties mean that you cannot havealchemical work done on it.Q. Is it because it's found so rare in nature?A. Patrice: When he (Jean) studies processes of experiments like this, hestudies the three aspects of alchemical, chemical, and philosophical (?)To transfer vegetable life on germanium which may be interesting, sinceit's a 4 electron body you cannot transfer anything else but vegetable(life), there is no easy chemical reaction that allows transfer.Column 5 - Is the column of niter. Here is the nitrogen it's theaccelerator in every reign. Nitrate can be found in stibnite and nitrate

in the air we breath is nitrogen. It's the general accelerator. The otheraccelerators here, are things to be used with a lot of precaution and whenyou have 30 years of alchemy.This one (potassium) accelerates the brain. In France we're giving (it) toold Senators. (laughs)This one is arsenic, there is very little acceleration, but if you usesome of this you will probably have no acceleration at all. (laughs)Then we have here antimony, that is the key that's very sensible in thekingdom. In ancient books on alchemy you could find bismuth beingmentioned. For nuclear reasons it cannot be used in alchemy after all.It's too long to explain. The accelerator column is column 5. They areactivators of energy.Column 6 - The first one is oxygen, it's the fruit of life. The vegetableand animal life, and sulphur is the activator of mineral life. You see, wesee errors in our alchemical texts because people don't know the details.

If you transferred the vegetable life on this (lead) you cannot do this onsulphur, because the sulphur is the mineral breathing - so that life canfind oxygen. If you put vegetable life in lead the evolution will be doneonly if it has oxygen, so you will need metallic oxides to feed it. Forlead - minium. If you - the cinnabar will be the oxygen for the metalliclife. The selenium is useful in very rare cases and what's more, it's verypractical.In column 7 - The only one we're interested in is chlorine. It's veryuseful for the animal life and it sets Fire to its life. In alchemicalexperiments we should work with it eventually -----. When we will havecome here for the 4th time we will speak of it then. [RH: Jean's way ofputting off discussion of a dangerous path mentioned in the Theory on theFlamel Path.]Here (column 6) there were 6 electrons. Here there are 7. The rare gaseshave 8 electrons and they have no interest in alchemy. If you take a lookat very complex nuclear books, 2 elements are an exception. Here it'spalladium and copper. Copper has problems on the electron level.To end this there is something that I had not explained earlier - thatnature functions the same way in every kingdom and for instance chemicalstructures often have the properties of one of the kingdoms. For instance,if you consider carbonic gas, there is in this gas one atom of carbon andtwo of oxygen. When this gas is in little quantity, like in mineral water,it's an activator for the body (human). If it's in high quantity it'smortal, deadly. When you play with crystals the quartz crystals SiO2 ithas the same structure as carbonic gas. If you have a crystal of quartz athome, it will give you some (-----) force, but if you wear it on yourself

Page 3


4/5

Table of Elementsit will destroy you (kill), like carbonic gas of high dosage.I spoke of this example because it's easy to explain but when you have towork in alchemy you must by yourself examine all the problems to find yourown path and the things that you're wanting knowledge of. I will give youa small example and if you work you will understand. This is done so thatyou will see no other explanation in books that may be very useful for youto work with it. Any problems?Q. Question about carbonic acid and quartz comparison.A. O.K. If you have quartz and you have it in your pocket all the timethen it will be very harmful.Q. So where will you put it?A. You put it on the chimney (mantle). A high dose of (carbonic acid) canbe harmful.Q. Question about uranium being of alchemical interest?A. Of course it's not in the program, but part of it will be explained onthe becoming of man (lecture).Q. About comparison of carbonic acid and quartz.A. Patrice: He took the example of the quartz, not because he's hostile,but he wanted to give a very good chemical image because the chemicalimage of quartz and carbonic acid gas are exactly similar, (only) thekernels differ.Q. Is radium useful in alchemy?

A. The elements above 82 are useless in alchemy. The ancients said thatnumber 82 is the top of the sky and in modern alchemy we understand thatthe ancients know this - we don't know how - but all the elements above 82are dead, melted or not.Q. Do we have any time to talk about the sulphur being necessary tometallic life?A. If you lack metallic life, sulphur behaves like oxygen, and if you lookin nature the ore that is the metal, in great majority, are sulphursparticularly. We've been in antimony mines in areas where no volcanoesare, and several hundred meters around the mine you can smell the sulphur.And when you take the stibnite in the mines - in the layers where you pickup the stibnite - it was wrapped in sulphur. The allotropic state of thissulphur is not the same as the current sulphur and as (did) the alchemistsI conclude that it's the reject of the sulphur breathing, that's dead, andyou must not use it in alchemy. When the ore has finished its evolution it

goes back up the sephirotic levels, it gets to 3 (Binah) and then itdoesn't need sulphur to cultivate its level. And if you haven't killedthem, all the native metals called the 7 metals crystallize in the cubicsystem.Q. Iron and cobalt?A. The iron is here in the transition level. The iron was spoken of thismorning. The iron has for the alchemist 2 interests - Reduction ofstibnite to Regulus, and the second is to give the metallic aspect ofmetallic life, the third is to be able to extract the auric seed from

iron.When it's an iron sulphur - an ore - O.K. He has not spoken of thetransition elements because there is a conflict between the alchemists,but what can be said is that the metals that give the metallic life arehere - the electric life - Fire - the iron is most powerful which is inthe metal to give the electric aspect of life. There is another way to putthe elements, to arrange them, but it will have to wait until scienceevolves in 2 or 3 hundred years. The real table is a matrix of 12 on 12.It won't be in the public tomorrow. It will wait.Q. Will platinum and palladium have any significance?A. Platinum and palladium are two abnormal metals, and actual sciencefinds problems with this because (the scientists) don't know where to putthem. Particularly palladium. It has the same structure as rare gas andit's a metal that has the same properties, as palladium is the metal ofcold fusion and is a lot of problems for the actual science.Q. Is it correct to associate the salt, sulfur, and mercury with theproton, neutron, and electron?

Table of ElementsA. No! Out of the program! There is a limit, and what has been given (is)for application now, and we won't speak of what has no interest for thisseminar.We will take a quarter of an hour rest, and afterwards we come back here.Send mail to CompanyWebmaster with questions or comments about this website.Copyright 2000CompanyLongName.
