Re: Questions about Fluid Condensers

Dear Rawn,

>>>> 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.<<<<

So then the human body would itself be a fluid condenser in and of 
itself, correct? After, through the numerous exercises in IIH Bardon 
has the student drawing in and accumulating the elements, fluids and 
lights within the self.

However, at the same time, I do believe Bardon writes that you should 
gradually increase the accumulated charge within the body so not to 
overload the body like a capacitor or a circut breaker. In which case 
the intrinsic ability for the body to retain an accumulated charge 
can be changed with practice. Or is this rather because we are 
something that is naturally composed of the fluids and elements?

What is the difference between a fluid condenser and a substance that 
is naturally composed of the fluids and elements? Also, isn't pretty 
much everything composed of the fluids and elements?

>>>>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.<<<<<

I might be totally off base here, but isn't that the procedure within 
the first few steps of The Key to True Quaballah? Which might account 
for the changes that happen when one works with those exercises.

Live well,
