Understanding the Astral Body and Vitality

Hermetic science is a system that guides humans to harness universal forces and improve themselves.

The path in Hermetic science is a journey towards balance and harmony, involving both conscious and unconscious actions.

Fate, the individual themselves, and a master are all teachers in Hermetic science. Even the most advanced master can only guide, not dictate.

The spirit, the fire element is associated with the will, and the air element is associated with the intellect or reason.

Hermetic science focuses on both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of spiritual growth.

The amount or intensity of something.

The quality or attribute of something.

The quantitative form of will is how much willpower you have, while the qualitative form is the kind of willpower you have (e.g., impulsive or stubborn).

The quantitative form of intellect is your mental endurance, while the qualitative form is your ability to understand things deeply.

The quantitative form of emotions is your vitality (how energetic you are), and the qualitative form is your instinct for survival.

The five elements are water (emotion), earth (consciousness), fire (will), air (intellect), and akasha (divine principle). These elements represent the building blocks of the spirit within a human being.

The mental body is composed of mental elements, and each element is unique to a mental function. For example, earth is consciousness, water is emotion, fire is will, and air is intellect.

The spirit is connected to the mental body through the mental matrix. Similarly, the mental and astral bodies are connected to the physical body through the astral and physical matrices.

Sensory perceptions (sight, sound, taste, touch, smell) nourish the mental body through the five senses.

The astral body is nourished by breathing, which is associated with the intake of astral light.

Harmonizing the four elements (fire, air, water, earth) in the mental body leads to a balanced and harmonious state of being.

The quantitative form focuses on the measurable aspects of mental functions, while the qualitative form refers to the consequences and emotions associated with imbalances.

An example of the quantitative and qualitative forms: a balanced consciousness leads to a free will, while an imbalance could result in stubbornness. This stubbornness can impair the intellect, demonstrating a quantitative and qualitative effect.

The process of aligning the astral, mental, and physical elements of the human being.

Nourishes the astral body, similar to physical food for the physical body.

The astral body is the bridge between the spirit and the physical body, and its harmony leads to good character.

The electric fluidum acts on the right side of the body, the magnetic fluidum acts on the left, and a balanced state of both is ideal for health.

A state of density with compatible properties, like Fire being associated with electric fluidum.

When the physical elements are balanced, it results in a healthy body.

Balancing the mental elements leads to a mature and developed spirit.

Introspection is the process of examining your thoughts, feelings, and actions to identify areas for improvement.

Refers to the direct impregnation of the astral body with a new attribute, done repeatedly until the desired effect is achieved.

Applying a new attribute to food or drink only after the previous one is fully integrated.

The magic of water works like the Eucharist, affecting both quantity and quality, impacting the mental, astral, and physical realms.

The ability to focus your thoughts and feelings intensely on a specific object, idea, or sensation, often associated with a heightened sense of awareness or presence.

A method for imprinting food and drink with mental and spiritual intent, aiming to achieve both quantitative and qualitative impregnations.

A form of impregnation that focuses on the rational application of the "electric fluidum" through visual imagery, aiming to set the time of realization.

A form of impregnation that involves using words, spoken or thought, to imbue food or drink with a specific concept or intention. It's about creating a mental blueprint.

The most powerful form of impregnation in this method, emphasizing emotional intensity and using the "magnetic fluidum" to infuse food or drink with your desired feeling.
