MY06. Engraving 6 from, J.D. Mylius Philosophia reformata, Frankfurt, 1622.
Showed this from another series, but this is drawn differently. here
nature (Green Lion) is eating the sun. This is the finish, and so you could say
the Lion will be like the sun if he eats it! The seven flowers are here again.
Some of the alchemists only spoke of or drew the last seven months. They were
tied to the important work! This is about Genesis third Day where the waters are
being separated. I am not sure why he has shown the man and woman at all, surly
not why he has shown the man surrounded by gold! This step is shown as a Garden,
garden of the Hesperides, "a Place where Gold was made." That comes from
the perfection of the stone which as being perfect is "Like" gold. You
see, it is about nature and matter and the two lights above. They had perfection
within them and it was believed we could capture it. That gave us the stone.
From that process, and the matter being slowly changed by "Nature," we ended up
with God! Yes, from their understanding and belief from what the matter does!
perhaps you should learn how to make this matter. You see, it is "always " about
the matter. As man is the same, it was believed also, that this process could be
used by God to perfect the man after death! It is hard for me to believe that
everything we have, have had, all is about this process and an ancient belief
about matter, time and shape! when I get to the Gnostic Gospels I will put
down many things that just might convince you!
