The Zodiac and the Salts of Salvation. George W. Carey

by unerring law of mathematics applied to space, proportion, and the so-far-discovered wheels and cogs of the uni-machine, can tell where a certain planet must be located before the telescope has verified the prediction. So the astro-biochemist knows there must of necessity be a blood mineral and tissue builder to correspond with the materialized angle (angel) of the circle of the zodiac.

      The phosphate of magnesia, in biochemic therapeutics, is the remedy for all spasmodic impulsive symptoms. This salt supplies the deficient worker or builder in such cases and thus restores normal conditions. A lack of muscular force, or nerve vigor, indicates a disturbance in the operation of the heart cell-salt, magnesia phosphate, which gives the “Lion’s spring,” or impulse, to the blood that throbs through the heart.

      Leo is ruled by the Sun, and the children of that celestial sign are natural sun worshipers.

      Gold must contain a small per cent of alloy or base metal before it can be used commercially. Likewise the “Gold of Ophir”—Sun’s rays, or vibration—must contain a high potency of the earth salt, magnesia, in order to be available for use in bodily function Thus through the chemical action of the inorganic (mineral and water) in the organic (Sun’s rays and ether) does the volatile become fixed, and the Word become flesh.

      Leo people consume their birth salts more rapidly than they consume any of the other salts of the blood; hence they are often deficient in magnesium. Crude magnesia is too coarse to enter the blood through the delicate mucous membrane absorbents, and must be prepared according to the biochemic method before being taken into the blood.

      Gems of Leo are ruby and diamond.

      Astral colors, red and green.

      The eleventh child of Jacob, Dinah, represents Leo and means judged. Simon is the Leo disciple.

      VIRGO: THE VIRGIN MARY

      AUGUST 23 TO SEPTEMBER 23.

      Virgin means pure. Mary, Marie, or Mare (Mar) means water. The letter M is simply the sign of Aquarius, “The Water Bearer.”

      Virgin Mary means pure sea, or water.

      Jesus is derived from a Greek word, meaning fish. Out of the pure sea, or water, comes fish. Out of woman’s body comes the “Word made flesh.” All substance comes forth from air, which is a higher potency of water.

      All substance is fish, or the substance of Jesus.

      This substance is made to say, “Eat, this is My body; drink, this is My blood.”

      There is nothing from which flesh and blood can be made, but the one universal air, energy, or Spirit, in which man has his being.

      All tangible elements are the effects of certain rates of motion of the intangible and unseen elements. Nitrogen gas is mineral in solution, or ultimate potency.

      Oil is made by the union of sulphate of potassium (potash) with albuminoids and aerial elements.

      The first element that is disturbed in the organism of those born in the celestial sign Virgo is oil; this break in the function of oil shows a deficiency in potassium sulphate, known in pharmacy is Kali sulphate.

      Virgo is represented in the human body by the solar plexus and bowels, the solar plexus being the great receiving station of energy from the back brain, while the bowels complete the chemicalization of the food products ready to be assimilated by the blood.

      The letter X in Hebrew is Samech or Stomach. X, or cross, means crucifixion, or change—transmutation.

      Virgo people are discriminating, analytical, and critical.

      The microscope reveals the fact that when the body is in health little jets of steam are constantly escaping from the seven million pores of the skin. A deficiency in Kali sulph molecules causes the oil in the tissue to thicken and clog these safety valves of the human engine, thus turning heat and secretions back upon the inner organs, lungs, pleura, membrane of nasal passages, etc. And does it not seem strange that medical science, that boasts of such great progress, can invent no better term than “bad cold” for these chemical results?

      Kali sulph is found in considerable quantities in the scalp and hair. When this salt falls below the standard, dandruff, or eruptions, secreting yellowish, thin, oily matter, or falling out of the hair, is the result.

      Kali sulph is a wonderful salt, and its operation in the divine laboratory of man’s body, where it manufactures oil, is the miracle of the chemistry of life.

      Governing planet, Mercury.

      Gems, pink jasper and hyacinth.

      Astral colors, gold and black.

      In Bible alchemy Virgo is represented by Joseph, the twelfth son of Jacob, and means: To increase power, or “son of the right hand.”

      Virgo corresponds to the disciple Bartholomew.

      LIBRA: THE LOINS

      SEPTEMBER 23 TO OCTOBER 23.

      This alkaline cell-salt is made from bone ash or by neutralizing orthophosphoric acid with carbonate of sodium.

      Libra is a Latin word, meaning scales or balance. Sodium, or Natrium phosphate holds the balance between acids and the normal fluids of the human body.

      Acid is organic and can be chemically split into two or more elements, thus destroying the formula that makes the chemical rate of motion called acid.

      A certain amount of acid is always present in the blood, nerve, stomach and liver fluids. The apparent excess of acid is always due to a deficiency in the alkaline Libra salt.

      Acid, in alchemical lore, is represented as Satan (Saturn), while sodium phosphate symbols Christ (Neptune). An absence of the Christ principle gives license to Satan to run riot in the Holy Temple. The advent of Christ drives the evil out with a whip of thongs. References to the temple in the figurative language of the Bible and New Testament always symbol the human organism. “Know ye not that your bodies are the Temple of the Living God?”

      Solomon’s temple is an allegory of the physical body of man and woman. Soul-of-man’s-temple—the house, church, Beth or temple made without sound of “saw or hammer.”

      Hate, envy, criticism, jealousy, competition, selfishness, war, suicide and murder are largely caused by acid conditions of the blood, producing changes by chemical poisons and irritation of the brain cells, the keys upon which the soul plays “Divine harmonies” or plays “fantastic tricks before high heaven,” according to the arrangement of chemical molecules in the wondrous laboratory of the soul.

      Without a proper balance of the Venus salt, the agent of peace and love, man is fit for “treason, strategems and spoils.”

      The people of the world never needed the alkaline of Libra salt more than they do at the present time, while wars and rumors of wars strut upon the stage of life.

      The Sun enters Libra September 23rd, and remains until October 23rd.

      Governing planet, Venus.

      Gems, diamond and opal.

      Astral colors are black, crimson, and light blue.

      Libra is an air sign.

      In Bible alchemy, Libra represents Reuben, the first son of Jacob. Reuben means Vision of the Sun.

      In the symbolism of the New Testament, Libra corresponds to the disciple Peter.

      Peter is derived from Petra, a stone or mineral.

      “On thee, Peter (mineral), will I build my church;” viz., beth, house, body, or temple.
