ALCHEMICAL STAGES
The Nigrido - First alchemical stage, lead black, the earth. Chaos, the Massa confusa, a formless mass of soul, spirit, and matter. Dirt, darkness, weakness of spirit (an old man shut up in a cave). All colors are concealed in black, the negative qualities are the most influential. [Soul and spirit separate to form the unio-mortalis, or mental identity. Symbolic death of the individual. The body has lost its animating principle]
The Albedo - Second alchemical stage, silver white, water. Soul and spirit recombine with the body. A death-like state, the soul is still waiting, imprisoned in the body. White, the moon.
The Citrines - Third alchemical stage, sulfur yellow, the air. Transition between the white and the golden-red, soul and spirit joins the unus mundus, a oneness in the universe. The yellow represents change, the eagle.
The Rubedo - Fourth alchemical stage, golden-red, fire. Gold, the sun, the masculine principle, red-sulpher. The prima material of the first stage becomes the philosophers stone of the fourth. The macrocosmic prima material is the “serpens mercurii”, the dragon that creates and destroys itself spontaneously. The child of the serpens mercurii (or Tiamat) is the “filius philosophorum” (or son of Tiamat), a hermaphroditic nature, rejected by spirit and identified with evil, having a tendency to compromise, and is the atomic counterpart of Christ (salvator Macrocosmi) – the lower son, just as Christ is the salvator microcosmi, the upper son, and salvation of man, as the salvator macrocosmi is the salvation of god.
The Conjunctio - Sacred marriage of red and white, spirit. Red and white together form a pair of opposites which are united in the “sacred marriage”. All of the elements must be separated and refined from the Nigrido, before they are recombined at the end of the Rubedo.
The Mortificatio - Calcinatio (calcification), Putrefecatio (putrefaction), or death of the product of union.

CODE 9
Each thought breeds a sequence
Visions of unreality
An entire universe in the blank of my mind
Who am I to bring you into this nightmare of dreams come true?
Don’t believe in reality
The code is all that is real
God the father is one (Infinity united)
The Dark Mother is zero (Unity in nothingness)
What is the end but the annihilation of opposites?
The mind goes blank
The code is all that is real
Contradiction begets contradiction
What forms the illusion? (Contradiction is illusion)
Perpetual motion of God eat God repeat
Peel back the skin of falsity
The code is all that is real
Thought (Illusion) is created of energy (Spirit)
consisting of polarity (Soul)
What creates polarity?
The code is all that is real
Illusion is created from less than nothing
Beneath the zero lies infinity
The code is all that is real
Infinity minus X places X in the illusion
The code interpreted = Nothing is real
What am I but a hole in infinity?
Now I’m Nothing…
