A long trip through time exposes the secrets of Mercury... This silver-tongued, telltale, highway robber of a God, outsmarted the three virtues, Faith, Hope and Charity, with his eloquence, ingenuity and thievishness. The light of the senses had been replaced by a single darkness, to be undone by love between Venus and Mars, when Mars removes his shield, and the comet returns with the truth.
Because Mercury is the planet closest to the sun, its surface unprotected by an atmosphere, is extremely hot when subjected to the rays of the sun and very cold elsewhere, it appears to rotate once every 59 earth-days, and is 3,000 miles in diameter. Mythological Mercury, also known as Hermes or Mythol, is the son of Zeus, Jove or Jupiter the gaseous planet of hydrogen, methane and ammonia that is circled by sixteen satellites.
Consider Hermes escorting the dead to the underworld of Hades when he made the following statement, allegedly found on an emerald tablet, clutched in Hermes hand at the time of his death that reads in part: "What is below is as what is above and what is above is as what is below... Separate the earth from the fire, the subtle from the gross smoothly and with judgement."
Distillation in alchemy was born out of the unknown but legendary Maria. Alchemists preserved quotation's attributed to Maria, they included the invention of laboratory apparatus named "Apparatus of Maria". Gold was merely a by-product of Maria's study in metals. Kleopatra followed Maria's lead to propose an elaborate theory on the natural cycles of birth, growth, and decay, including the structures that govern metals in nature.
Ethics in medicine are sworn under the oath of Hippocrates, the Greek physician from 400 B.C. He stressed the importance of clinical observation, the rational study of the body and its function in science. Medicine involved body functions imitating the earth and moon, he recorded daily and seasonal rhythms observed in physical and mental health. Around the year 300 A.D., Zosimos, fascinated with the apparatus of Maria, saw the still as a womb in which metal gave off its spirit as vapor and re-emerged as a newly formed altered body. Thus the concept of the Philosophers Stone emerged with mercury as the key to transmutation. The sublimation of mercury changed and fixed the density, malleability and color of metals. Metals created in the earth were a result of a fiery, smoky principle, sulphur, to a watery principle, mercury, being exhaled from the earth, that led to a thickening and mixing together until a solid homogeneity resulted. Thus mercury became the spirit and sulphur the soul, the male and female principles.
For over 5000 years Chinese medicine has taken the changes of light from the solar system into account as scientific evidence as to its influences on health. In the 2nd century B.C., Emperor Lui Ch'e became interested in the alchemy that was said to produce gold, the alchemical symbol of the sun, he believed that by eating off gold plates would extend life and immortality. The Chinese word for alchemy became 'Kem-mai' interpreted as to wander or go astray.
Gods were scrutinized in the epicritic poem written by Publius Ovidius Naso. Between 2 and 8 A.D. Ovid depicts everything from creation to the latest news, although he admits, himself a distant relative of the gods, he claims, "No criminal's, scoundrel's or such black sheep on my side of the scales." The poem begins: "Bodies I have in mind, and how they can change to assume new shapes-- I ask the help of the God's, who know the trick." Ovid portrays the creation, chaos, elements, nature and characteristics that come into being. This format, handed down from ancient beliefs implied, all of nature and life depended on 'Continuity', rather than 'Atomos' the indivisible, formless and nonexistent. Mercury is full of distractions, winged shoes, winged cap, wand and Pan pipes for his prop. The trickery he sneaks into poor unsuspecting characters are induced to sleep with heavy eyelids, or turned into trees, we are left not knowing if they are dead or alive.
However, monks and scholars preserved the study of nature in manuscripts, that went beyond the two dimensional page of words. The threads of nature are woven, braided and knotted into words, illustrating the dimensions of experience. The complicated knotting in The Book Of Kells and Lindisfarne, amount to a revelation of their whole inner philosophy as in hieroglyphics.
In a fifteenth century manuscript, the testament and prophesy of the venerable Master Magnalicius felt his art left him empty and decided to study the knowledge of the ages. He studied the occult and works going back to Egypt, his insight of the spirit had been equally shared throughout time with Zosimus from Panopolis, Gilda the Wise, Iamblicus and others to reveal this prophesy: "Two mighty Kingdoms will contend for all the world, and then turn against it, until the soil and the sea shall sicken and the wind become a flux of poisoned vapors. And all men shall be sorely tried, so that at the last, none may escape the choice between light and darkness."
Journals of alchemy, contained secret symbols and pictures depicting fierce dragons, war chariots, red salamanders and green lions. A green lion stood for Aqua Fortis, an acid that dissolved gold. Alchemy became a closed fraternity that no layman could decipher. According to Islamic belief all symbols were evil, therefore the alchemical writings were translated into plain language. European churches banned all other religious writings, alchemy written by Muslims became heresy. Meanwhile Princes and Kings encouraged alchemy in their search for gold, they produced gun powder, and counterfeit coins until their soldiers uncovered the deception. Gold transgressed alchemy, the secret ills of mercury were concealed in fairy tales, witch's cauldrons turned people into stone, nature into materialism and beauty into vulgarity. Mercury was described in symbolic illustrations, an example is of Hermes with the sun and moon under his feet inside a large droplet, outside the droplet are clouds with the sun above, below are birds, two birds carry leafy twigs that touch the droplet with symbols attached, two angels carry the droplet of Hermes represented in its gaseous form.
Knowledge preserved through the ancient written word, also had numeric values assigned to them that became the mathematical base of modern science. The phrases 'Alpha to Omega' and 'A to Z' in Greek and Roman alphabets implied a completeness or wholeness of knowledge. The letter 'Z' became an indication of perfect accomplishment in the study of Apollo the God of medicine, the seven liberal arts, and the nine Muses. This was the upward path to beatitude in the arts and sciences as the spirit headed for immortality. The mythological Zeus, lightening bearer, chief God and heavenly source of that power was manifest in the letter Z.
Laws of nature were thought to have been divinely inspired by the planets. Johannes Kepler a student of Greek geometry, sought the help of Tycho Brache the Danish astrologer. Kepler measured the speed and distance of the planets as they passed the sun, the measurements were put into ratios, from the ratios he discovered the perfect pitch in music. The same ratios are true to the vibrant rainbow colors, expanded and extended they become the energy spectrum. Stradivarius and Bach were instrumental in perfecting the musical artform, organ music became prominent in churches and musicianship made dance popular.
Many of Sir Isaac Newton's insights were taken directly from ancient texts. But what of the Philosopher's Stone? The true Aqua Vitae? The broth of Medea? or the horn of Amalthea? Newton noted 7 different signs for mercury followed by a nervous breakdown. Toxic mercury poisoning cannot be denied after analyzing the consequential events, and he knew the symptoms well as he replied to a colleague's ailing furnace worker, "Your hair is not white, but silver mercury." Newton's notes say, "Perhaps the whole frame of nature... may be nothing but various contextures of some certain aetherall spirits or vapours condens'd as it were by preaecipitation, much after the manner that vapors are condensed into water or exhalations into grosser substances." Newton also flatly states, "It's well known that bodies act one upon another by the attractions of gravity, magnetism, and electricity and these instances show the tenor and cause of nature, and make it not improbable but there may be more attractive powers than these. For nature is very consonant with herself." Mercury was filtered through the earth, in the same manner that the sun is filtered through dense atmospheric air. "It is a mercurial spirit, extremely subtle and supremely volatile, which is dispersed through everyplace. The general method of operation of this agent is the same in all things, that is, it is excited to action by a gentle heat, but driven away by a great one, and when it is introduced into a mass of substances its first action is to putrefy and confound into chaos, then it proceeds to generation... In a metallic form it is found most abundantly in Magnesia (antimony) and all spices of metals derive from this single tin root. "Male and female were joined in nature, but nothing man-made could imitate natures union and left a one sided refraction of light. "A double mercury is the sole first and proximate matter of all metals, and these two mercuries are the masculine and feminine semens, sulfur and mercury, fixed and volatile, the Serpents around the caduceus, the Dragons of Flammel. Nothing is produced from masculine or feminine semen alone. For generation and for the first matter the two must be joined." Beyond the theories of gravity extracted from ancient scrolls Newton's work went into understanding the vortex, "The moments of quantities are the principles from which they are generated or altered by a continual flux." The periods of revolution vary in a vortex as the square of the radius, whereas Kepler's third law, based on the celestial phenomena, demand the three-halves power. "Let philosophers then see how that phenomenon of power can be accounted for by vortices."
New symbols were created by John Dalton, mastered in ÔNewtons Principea', Dalton developed the 'Corpuscular theory' describing the ratios of ethereal gases surrounding atoms, bound mainly in differences of weight. Then Alessando Volta in 1800, described the battery in his 'contact theory', electricity arose from the mere contact of different metals, hydrogen ejected from the negative pole and oxygen ejected at the positive pole. Following Dalton's lead, many recreated their own symbols until the 'Polar Theory' of chemical combinations resulted. Confusion followed over physical and chemical atoms, thus separating physics from chemistry, Dalton objected to the tampering of his original symbols that led to his 'Corpuscular Theory'. The atoms that were not bound by weights became Isomers, and found to be joined by differences of structure with different boiling points, their boiling points decreased as the compounds became more complex. Isomers were also found to rotate the plane of polarized light found in optical activity. The polyatomic densities of mercury, phosphorus, iodine and sulphur went to the realm of physicists towards industry and electricity. Metalloids, semiconductors and superconductivity were left out of medicine by the chemists analytical puritanism.
Once the Industrial Revolution gained momentum, minerals replaced the burning of wood, leaves and incense. The dragon spewed out gases and metallic dust that altered the hues of nature's spectrum. The precipitation became a flux from the river of metallic malnourishment. Herbal remedies were replaced with compounds of mercury. Mercury vapors and methyl mercury escaped into the atmosphere with undetectable odors and chemical changes that putrefied and transformed organics into chaos. Alice in Wonderland's reference to the Mad Hatter was an isolated incident of mercury poisoning detective work of an unfortunate few, the problem was far more widespread, disguised and underestimated. In Dormouse's story, the characters were to draw, "Everything that begins with an 'M'."
"Why with an M?" said Alice.
"Why not?" said the March Hare.
Alice was silent.
The madness spilled into espionage, wars and the procurement of minerals notably Spanish mercury. In the name of war, developments spread an inane production from mechanics to chemicals that included tin cans. Industry, materialism and commercialism applied their politics to ordinary people drenched in an ocean of apathy. The game of economics is to the death, the realm of play was born out of mercury's seven alchemical signs, the seven sisters of oil, and the seven deadly sins, pride, covetousness, lust, gluttony, anger, envy and sloth.
Patients filled hospitals with unknown diseases, some were saturated in baths of mercury resulting in a slow torturous death. Sanitariums electrified the human circuitry already toxic and damaged by metals. Pharmaceutical preparations contained mercury, metals and chemical combinations that fanned the flames of chaos causing various sporadic and chronic symptoms, in which Mercury plays the metals messenger. Electricity replaced the flame that once burned undetectable harmful gases, the underworld surfaced and rose to the suns energies and confused the atoms routed by metalloids.
Question Napoleon's import of sugar as to the cause of diabetes, because in 1826 mercury was first used in dental amalgams in England and France, the amalgam contained silver, tin, copper, zinc, and fifty percent mercury. Amalgam was introduced to the United States in 1830 where organized dentistry denounced its use by 1840 in an attempt to show their concerns about mercury poisoning. Research now shows mercury coating proteins in diabetes, making them unrecognizable as a protein and undetectable in blood tests, because diabetes and gangrene have been cured when heavy metals have been removed in chelation therapy. 1979 research showed mercury vapor constantly being released from amalgams, stimulated by chewing, brushing, or heat exposure, then in 1993 the zinc in amalgams was found to dissolve in water or saline in the practice of dental hygiene, and mercury atoms exist in the metallic state in the surface layer of zinc amalgams. Copper and zinc also play an important role in the study of incurable amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. In 1994 mercury placed in teeth was found to accumulate in the odontoblast, the research suggests that it may be transported into the dentin tubules and a cause of decay. There is a missing link between mercury and penicillin both weakening teeth, the chemical changes are an obvious clue. Fluoride also creates a chemical change with methyl mercury and mercury is a by product of the chlorine process. The slow release of mercury from dental amalgams coincides with the slow onset of chronic illness and ageing, it starts at birth from the mothers teeth through the placenta and in breast feeding.
Research at the University of Georgia determined that mercury from fillings inhibit the effectiveness of antibiotics. During 'World War II,' European tuberculosis hospitals discovered patients recovered after the removal of amalgams. Agitation from chewing and brushing teeth give off mercury vapors, then bacteria in food, the digestive system and the mouth turns into odorless methyl mercury that can travel through the bloodstream crossing into the finest fatty filtering tissues. Volt's mixture of metals create a 'battery effect' that can be found in a mouth containing both gold and amalgams, there is also a natural current under the tongue. There are viruses whose formation is dependent on electrostatic properties that go beyond the nervous systems electrical potential, their precise alignment to self assemble shows the same function of the battery effect, likewise their disassembling in distilled water. It is evident that mercury stresses the immune system of all females this was uncovered in research on school children. University of Calgary School of Medicine demonstrated in 1984 that mercury from amalgams could be found in the blood and tissues of pregnant mothers and their babies within a few days and it has become evident that long term low level mercury over 0.06 mg. reflect changes in menstrual cycles, quantity, duration and flow. The incidences of preterm delivery, spontaneous abortion, fetal death, still birth, cerebral palsy and complications of pregnancy rise due to mercury.
Surgery was found unnecessary to unblock clogged arteries that result in by-pass surgery, chelation therapy removed the heavy metals that caused the arteries to block. European research shows high density traffic and industrialization result in heavy metal maladies. In May of 1992 a medical research team at the University of Kentucky, established a probable relationship of mercury exposure from silver amalgam dental fillings to cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's disease. Comparison studies of brain tissue samples from people with the same dental mercury exposure were found to correspond to those with high lead deposits in their bones. Mercury is the key to metals and electricity in the body, the mobility of quicksilver to certain tissues has been found in its density, transmutation and transformation. Microwave ovens affect pacemakers, the bodies electricity is influenced by similar corresponding spectrums through the accumulation of heavy metals and the battery effect. From Newtonian mechanics we now have quantum mechanics, understood as photons, atoms and electrons acting as particles and waves, but theorists still search for how an object can act as both a particle and as a wave. Main stream medicine and dentistry pulled back in denial like a fault line pulling apart with people falling in the crack, meanwhile support groups for chronic illness support research for a miracle pill, as the guardians of health the drug companies, empty their cupboards of mercury tainted prescriptions. Meanwhile the growing smog and mechanical dust pollutes the environment short circuiting all life forms. Genetics avoided confronting generational metal poisoning since physics, not considered a human phenomena, developed in secret. Meanwhile, medicine a monopoly of chemicals and limited biology remained in denial of physics foundation in metals, currents, toxicity, chemical changes and gases. A historical review states; "Lack of control groups unexposed to mercury (amalgam free) for investigations of health problems; Contribution of dental mercury to environmental pollution. In conclusion, a lack of interdisciplinary research and of a critical approach to established clinical routine appears to be the reason for the failure of the dental profession to protect the patient from mercury exposure when saving the tooth."
Technically, 'Mercurialentis' is the first sign in the eye of mercury poisoning, a brown discoloration of the anterior capsule of the lens, a diagnosis not adhered to, but associated with eye problems and diabetes. Obviously, the first sign of mercury poisoning is in the tooth. When a mercury molecule is attached to an organic molecule, its physical and toxic properties are radically changed, organic mercury molecules are much more soluble in fatty tissue, because of this, they cross membranes and enter cells more readily. When metals penetrate the brain they become a potent neurotoxin, in brain research the neurotoxic effects of inorganic mercury creates an irreversible blockade of the voltage-activated calcium channels. Mercury changes in many forms to combine with the human electrical engineering, leading to symptoms and debilitating diseases of the mind, nerves, muscles and bones, the tissues involved are as flexible as the changes of mercury. The World Health Organization reported that exposure to mercury from amalgams is generally higher than that from fish, seafood, water and air. This generation will reach 200 years of mercury in dentistry, the research is minute in comparison, but gaining momentum, each generation has outlawed practices of the last, each time returning to natures intimate beginning.
Under Swedish law dental amalgams containing mercury have been banned. Sweden's shores were washed free of war, but tragically tainted by nuclear fallout, they are the first to be officially freed from mercury in dentistry. For health and the environment, the first step is to stop mercury damage to the fetus. "We realize now that we have previously made an error in our judgement of this question. Patients have suffered unnecessarily and we will now rectify our mistakes and in different ways try to solve the problem." Sweden's recognition of the dangers of mercury has resulted in new insights into the prevention and repair of arthritis. The majority of dentists voluntarily stopped using amalgams in pregnant women before the ban was imposed.
Venue: Columbia, platinum was put in a glass tube containing radium, atomic particles given off by the radium attached themselves to the platinum and gradually changed it into gold. This laboratory gold was used in radiation treatment for cancer, arthritis and other diseases, implanted in diseased tissue it gives off a radiation which was found to stop the spreading of diseased tissue. This treatment is by no means one hundred percent and juggled between a horrendous treatment and a cure, perhaps just another example of alchemies fool's gold. Mercury as a medical icon has been replaced with a radiation icon.
With today's genetic research targeting diseases, patents are pending for the golden egg, but nothing comes. The original story of genetic splicing was the grape vine, in an attempt to create a taller vine it was spliced with the elm, but the elm is now in the process of extinction. After a century of denial of physics in medicine, genetics was sold for altering structures for medicine, rather than wisdom behind the clinical electrical circuitry. It is the overall view of medicine and research that is in need of repair. Genetics can help understand the electrical circuitry of the body, but the public definitions require correlation and association in a broader picture that will properly differentiate between symptomatic causes and grounds for a cure. Salt, sugar, fat and tobacco have become scapegoats for the superstructure and superconductivity of mercury and its allies, the natural organic defenses, energies, alloys, insulators and stimulants have been found guilty by a kangaroo court. The lack of salt leads to radioactive iodine entering the body causing cancer, sugar alternatives lead to chemical imbalances, lack of fat leads to epilepsy, and tobacco insulates the negative current produced by mixed metals and stimulates the stressed electrical response with nitro-glycerin.
X-rays cause sterility and cancer because of man-made ionizing radiation, the suns ionizing radiation is made harmless by filtration, broken up by dense atoms in the atmosphere before reaching the earth. In nature mercury was made harmless by filtration through the earth. Atomic bombs, nuclear power and radioactive elements are all products of atomos that leads to the giant toadstool cloud that excreted cancerous spores into the atmosphere. In the 1950's thermonuclear weapons development released airborne mercury vapors, a tornado uprooted a red cedar tree nearby that was then measured for mercury levels, since trees do not normally absorb mercury from roots the levels are considered to be from airborne mercury, the red cedar tree measured 7,000 parts per billion, the normal range is from 2 to 4 parts per billion. The thermodynamic kinetics of mercury elevate the bioelectromagnetic communication through contact electricity in the self assembly and transport of bacterial viruses. Heavy metals polluted with radiation, give off toxins in the process of decay, therefore mercury is likely to transform the toxins into excreting toxins. The static properties are broken down by distilled and deionized water. Electrolyte solution rebuilds the natural mineral balance, but unless the system is dismantled complex chemical reaction loops develop. The spectrum is made up of vibrations, the sonic vibrations are used to clean gold from impurities, they also dislodge the buildup of impurities in the body in the same manner that music and dance mildly free the body of stress. Medicine is light years behind industry, fluorescent lighting contains a combination of solid mercury and mercury vapor or a radioactive element, fire alarms contain radioactive elements, but there is no household alarm for the detection of mercury or radiation. Meanwhile food is irradiated for human consumption to kill bacteria, but natural organisms necessary for regeneration are altered or destroyed too. Radiation is the extension of mercury's singular degenerative root.
Yesterdays 'Fates' decreed no help, no hope, no answer... The suns sickly face, earth's dark clouds, rain drops of blood, altars weeping and the trees groaning because the 'fates' inscribed on tablets of iron and brass, wait for wisdom to reveal the truth that leads to lasting peace. The future depends on nature's continuity through the study of medicine, arts and sciences. Apollo represented medicine that was essential in all knowledge to become an accomplished student. Medicine has searched nature and administered man-made artifacts. Instead, medicine requires the study of man-made portents to administer nature's remedy. The restoration of medicine in education under the virtues of Apollo, requires educating each generation to the next generation, then full disclosure of information can be studied and analyzed to build cures, free from statistics financial and political vindication. Meanwhile strategic medical marketing, lowering the price of beneficial medical and dental treatment is responsible medical preventative practice.
Zzzzzzz... Planetary nightmares... Nostradamus armed with his silver mercury mirror, revealed the tell-tale signs in the centuries of destruction. The flame of the soul burning at the root of the senses, the spirit unleashed interwove the fabric of life. Each step revealed the next, the system that undid man and nature would have to be Mercury the thief, as the mythological Gods would have us believe. Fate cannot be undone, but some things can. Nostradamus comes to the end of his quatrains, but in the few left, translations have not recognized the word 'dent', french for teeth, at the same time he changes the context of the verb 'die'. Back to the present in a UFO... The first rule is don't alter the past or risk the future, if our future descendants have risked such a trip, perhaps we should think about the duality of nature required for generations. Living on land with cancerous deformities and viruses resulting in a lack of hair or under the ocean deprived of air and altered eyes, some say we would adapt in time, but this is not nature's nurturing time, it is a singular man made time. Time and dimensions are at odds in a black hole, the celebration of life is in the duality of light and truth.
