Though an ego is needed for its actualization, reflective awareness occurs not by the will of the ego, but by the promptings to individuation originating from the Self (which is equivalent to the philosophers’ stone). The alchemists’ art allows God to know Itself by creating Itself through the individual alchemist. The alchemists’ “aspiration” had to do with, according to Jung, “the transformation of the god brought about through man, man being the retort in which the god is transformed, where he descends into uttermost matter and where the spirit develops out of matter.” In the act of becoming lost in matter, God, with our help, is born out of and into humanity. Kung, J. Ainsi Aristote a-t-il enseigné que la matière est ce qu’apporte la femme à la procréation d’un enfant, quand l’homme apporte ce qui lui donne forme humaine. “Fire in the Belly: Aristotelian Elements, Organisms, and 2 reviews of Materia Prima "Hard to find unless you know what you're looking for. The “stone,” or “lapis,” is not a material substance, however, but is an awakened consciousness, which, though seemingly immaterial, pervades, in-forms and gives rise to all creation. "The ancient art of alchemy was chiefly concerned with changing something of seemingly little value into something precious, of transforming lead into gold, thereby creating the “philosophers’ stone” (the “lapis philosophorum”). We are all potential alchemists-in-training to the extent we are consciously participating in giving creative expression to our experience of the unconscious.
One of the prima materia’s many symbols is a weak and infirm old man, the mythic dying king, or “senex,” who has lost touch with feeling, with eros, with relatedness, with creativity, with compassion, and with love. Paradox is the language of alchemy, as it is an expression of the unified point of view in which the seeming opposites are not so opposed to each other after all.The archetype of the dark father has to do with domination and force over others, as compared to being in relation.

“Who is it inside ourselves who is actually suffering?” becomes a relevant question, as we begin to recognize that we, not as ego but as Self, are participating in a divinely-sponsored passion play. on “The good tidings announced by alchemy [analogous to the “Good News” of the Bible] are that, as once a fountain sprang up in Judea,” Jung contemplates, “so now there is a secret Judea the way to which is not easily found, and a hidden spring whose waters seem to be worthless and so bitter that they are deemed of no use at all.” Jung continues, “…man’s inner life is the secret place,” where the “medicina catholica or panacea, the spark of the light of nature, are to be found.”The tantalizing prima materia had a dangerous, toxic aspect, however, and was considered “bedeviled,” causing insanity if not approached with the highest regard. By applying himself to this miraculous work he benefits from its salutary effect, but only incidentally.” In venerating the highest value, the alchemists are serving something beyond their limited ego, which is a state of pure potential and grace.

To quote an ancient alchemical text, the “Stone can only be brought to its proper form by Art.” Through their sacred art, the alchemists’, in discovering the philosophers’ stone, were literally creating consciousness. The prima materia is an “increatum,” an “uncreated,” autonomous, self-generating, spirit-like entity which is the root of itself and rooted in itself and is dependent on nothing. Alchemy is a mystical art-form, a genuine spiritual path. The prima materia is an “imperfect body” in need of being perfected. The initial stage is the “nigredo,” the blackness of death, the darkness darker than dark, which is actually the seed for the future birth of the living opus. Regardless of what it is called, the creation of the stone is the goal of the alchemical opus. De-solidifying, de-literalizing and de-constructing their experience in each moment empowered the alchemists to actively participate in their own transformation and evolution. Fatta questa distinzione logica, Aristotele si accorge anche che la materia è potenza: essa può ricevere o non ricevere una determinata forma (ma certamente non può ricevere qualsiasi forma).

Previous Index Next Aristotle’s Concept of Matter and Form Aristotle was interested in the material world which he saw about him. Prima materia, materia prima or first matter, is the ubiquitous starting material required for the alchemical magnum opus and the creation of the philosopher's stone.It is the primitive formless base of all matter similar to chaos, the quintessence, or aether.Esoteric alchemists describe the prima materia using simile, and compare it to concepts like the anima mundi.
