MULTIPLICATION

"The said one thing enters into every regimen and is found everywhere, being a stone and also not a stone; common and precious; hidden and concealed, yet known by everyone; of one name and of many names, which is the spume of the moon. This stone, therefore, is not a stone because it is more precious. Without it nature never operates anything. Its name is one, yet we have called it by many names on account of the excellence of its nature"

---Fabricius, p. 178

Multiplication of Bread and Fish

Located in a Benedictine Church in Israel, this site represents where Jesus fed 5,000 people with five loaves of bread and two fish.

A X B = C. In science, multiplication is the natural phenomena of growth. This is a continual process of balancing the stone in which the power of transmutation is concentrated. This increases the amount of the Stone as obtained from its pristine form. Symbolically, this increases the amounts of riches, gold, by acts of alchemy.

In the Bible, God gives the command to "be fruitful and multiply." We participate in the creation of others by having children, giving birth. We also are in a garden of others. Each one of us touch the lives of others.

Parents have children and give to them what they need to grow. This includes food, nurturing, love, passing on of spiritual values and other information. They participate with their children to give them a good spiritual base on which they can make decisions and realize truths. As individuals, we are also always communicating with others and have the ability to touch their lives. We can easily touch other lives by the way we live our own.

Every living being has qualities already within it that can be realized and amplified. The people we communicate with may wish to touch the goldeness within themselves. The alchemist at the multiplication stage has the ability to replenish themselves from the endless well and also impart the starting seed assisting others to realize their own inner light. This symbolically is imparting seed into imperfect metals for the development of gold and the increase of potency of the original stone. This is striving for continued development toward perfection and continued multiplication in others. Multiplication includes service and mentorship towards others.

Eleventh Key. Two lions approach and attack each other from left and right. The Lion on the right has seized the others muzzle in its mouth. On the back of each lion rides a woman holding in her hand a heart from which sprouts a plant with a Sun flower and a Moon flower. (The woman on the left holds this heart in her right hand, the woman on the right in her left.) Behind the woman on the left a knight stands with sword raised as if to strike her. Behind the lion on the right walk four cubs.

Mother Teresa's Adaption of

The Prayer of St. Francis

"When I am hungry, give me someone that I can feed.
And when I am thirsty, give me someone who needs a drink.
When I'm cold, give me someone to keep warm.
And when I grieve, give me someone to console."

An Open Heart

So long as space remains,

So long as sentient being remain,

I will remain,

In order to help, in order to serve,

In order to make my own contribution.

The Dalai Lama's favorite prayer.

From "Light Who Loves Her Sister Darkness "

by Madronna Holden

Basking in the glory of the light may cause us to lose sight of those who dwell in the Dark City of our society or our consciousness. Thus traditions such as Buddhism wisely link enlightenment with compassion. Compassion calls upon us to see the whole world, to ally ourselves with the low, the hidden, and the dark. The greatest saints, according to Buddhism, are not those who leave this world for Nirvana, but the bodhisattvas who leave Nirvana to help alleviate the suffering of this world. Like Kuan Yin, the Chinese bodhisattva "who hears the cries of the world," Inanna finally hears the cries of her sister Erishkigal [in the Underworld] and leaves the heavenly realm to go to her....

From "Listen With Your Heart"

The more I can guide you through your own obstacles, the more I see through my own obstacles, the more I love you in times of great unhappiness, the more I see through my unhappiness--a clear light comes through. The more I look at your soul, when I am tempted to look at your mind and your ego, the more I connect with my soul in my journey.

The words if Gurudev.
