Re: [BardonPraxis] Re: Questions about Fluid Condensers

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

Dear Peter,

>> If the plants that Bardonare natural fluid condensers, then what is
the point of actual creating a liquid fluid condenser as Bardon
describes? Mere practicality, perhaps? Can not just the raw plant
material be used as a fluid condenser in a pinch, so to speak? <<

Two reasons: 1) the convenience of a liquid, and 2) the parts of the
vegetable material that actually serve as Fluidic condensers are the
water and alcohol soluble parts.

>> Bardon also says that alchemically prepared essences are merely
exquisitly created fluid condensers. So how does the quality of such an
alchemical fluid condenser differ from the fluid condenser that Bardon
describes? Also, how would a physical alchemical change of the
substance - ie. distilation of a fluid - effect the quality of the fluid
condenser? <<

An Alchemically crafted *essence* (this is a very specific product)
requires more than just distillation. Nonetheless, the Alchemical
process isolates and purifies just those ingredients that serve as
Fluidic condensers. The residue or "caput mortem" actually impedes the
Fluids and their presence within a condenser decreases its capacity and
its radiant power. It's like the difference between a cloudy quartz
crystal and a perfectly clear diamond.

My best to you,
