Re: [BardonPraxis] Questions about Fluid Condensers

["Rawn Clark" <rawnclark@...>]

Dear Peter,

>> Now, since a fluid condenser is essentially anything that attracts
and contains the magnetic and/or electrical fluid, is it not safe to
say that this extends to substances that are astral and mental in
nature as well? Is a visualization a fluid condenser? A thought? A
strongly felt emotion? If so, what would be the consequences of this?
How would you work with an astral or mental fluid condenser? Wouldn't
a thoughtform/elemental be a mental or astral fluid condenser? <<

Fluid condensers do not themselves automatically attract a charge of the
Fluids. They have to be loaded with an accumulation by the magician.
The one exception to this rule is the Philosopher's Stone. What
distinguishes a Fluid condenser from any other thing which naturally is
composed of the Fluids&Elements, is the fact that a condenser is capable
of *holding* an accumulation. Non-condensers will immediately radiate
an accumulation and are not capable of holding on to the accumulation
once charged.

You are correct in your idea of astral and mental condensers. A
physical Fluid condenser immediately effects all three realms
simultaneously and must be created within the physical realm, out of
physical materia; an astral condenser, effects the astral and mental
realms simultaneously and must be created within the astral realm, out
of astral materia; and a mental condenser, effects only the mental realm
immediately and, likewise, must be created within the mental realm, out
of mental materia. The process of creating astral and mental condensers
requires a ficility with each of these realms and the direct
manipulation of their respective materia. For example, in order to
create an astral condenser you would need to directly shape the astral
materia itself, be able to finalize its form (i.e., give it stable
duration), and then load it with an appropriate accumulation of
Fluids/Elements. All of these tasks would need to be carried out within
the astral realm.

My best to you,
