Where is Zhenren?

Generation

And Empedocles, deprecating the condition termed “generation,” beautifully says of her:
The aspect changing with destruction dread,
She makes the living pass into the dead.
Εκ μεν γαρ ζωων ετιϑει νεκρα ειδε αμειβων (And for he who lives and sees the dead, he will be rewarded).

And again, lamenting his connection with this corporeal world, he pathetically exclaims:
For this I weep, for this indulge my woe,
That e’er my soul such novel realms should know.
Κλαυσα τε και κωκυσα, ῶων ασυνηϑεα χωρον (I cried and cried, in an unusual place).

Mercury

The mercury, in the internal part, takes the shape of pages or sheets of a book. The mercury is nothing other than the metallic soul of the sacred sperm, and is esoterically organized in the shape of sheets or pages of a book; this can be seen by any person that has the Eye of Dangma opened; this is how it is seen: in the shape of sheets of paper. The mercury has always been represented like that on the ancient stones from the north as well as from the south, from the east and from the west. We, who know this and who have heard about the book of figures of Nicolas Flamel, do not find any other representation of the mercury and sulfur in their positive and negative form.

Sons of Light

That which is meant by the allegorical sentence, “Fiat Lux,” is, when esoterically rendered, “Let there be the ‘Sons of Light’,” or the Noumena of all phenomena. Thus the Roman Catholics rightly interpret the passage as referring to Angels, but wrongly as meaning Powers created by an anthropomorphic God, whom they personify in the ever thundering and punishing Jehovah.

These beings are the “Sons of Light,” because they emanate from, and are self-generated in, that infinite Ocean of Light, whose one pole is pure Spirit lost in the absoluteness of Non-Being, and the other pole, the Matter in which it condenses, “crystallizing” into a more and more gross type as it descends into manifestation. Therefore Matter, though it is, in one sense, but the illusive dregs of that Light whose Rays are the Creative Forces, yet has in it the full presence of the Soul thereof, of that Principle, which none—not even the “Sons of Light,” evolved from its Absolute Darkness—will ever know.

H.P. Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine

Everything is Connected

The unity and mutual relations of all parts of Kosmos were known to the Ancients, before they became evident to modern Astronomers and Philosophers.
