Research

Given the nature of our technology that we use to manufacture nutraceuticals, herbal and mineral extracts, there is always some discovery and enlightment we experience from time to time. In the coming months we would like to collect more information and provide here some clues on where we are heading and what we were able to accomplish in better understanding of nature and human emotions. Additional notes on various issues you may find on our blog website www.unitedwithnature.com.

Quantum Elixir with Carnelian
(August 11th, 2008)

The Quantum Elixir with Carnelian as another QE in line of traditional gem elixirs will be ready for shipping in August 15th, in the meantime we would like to share with you some advanced research notes and experiences. Main ingredient is Carnelian with a balancing herbal proprietary blend.

Technical data: Carnelian is a form of Quartz (Silicon Dioxide-SiO2), the most common form of rock in the Earth’s crust, and gets its red color from Hematite (Iron Oxide-FeO2) impurities. Specifically, geologists classify Carnelian as a Chalcedony, a member of the crypto-crystalline or micro-crystalline group within the Quartz. Crypto-crystalline crystals are too small to be seen, even with a microscope.

From history, some of the oldest examples of human jewelry contained Carnelian. At an excavation site in Ur, archaeologists uncovered the tomb of Pu-Abi, a Sumerian Queen from the third millennium, B.C. She wore a robe that contained Carnelian, along with other precious and semi-precious materials. Ancient Egyptian tombs are full of examples of Carnelian jewels, because of their belief in the stone’s power in the afterlife. According to their system, amulets of Carnelian could prove helpful in ensuring the Ka’s (the soul’s) passage into the next world. The Egyptians so revered the power of the stone that it was one of three used most often in their jewelry, along with Turquoise and Lapis Lazuli (along with Tibetans). Ancient Greeks and Romans called it Sardius and used the stone for signet rings, cameos and intaglios. In more modern times, Goethe attributed the powers of protection against evil, of continuation of hope and comfort, and of good luck.

Production process: The same as described in J. Reid's Minor Opus.

Uses found on the web: Crystal healers prescribe Carnelian for individuals who are timid and assign great powers of spurring motivation, increasing self confidence and infusing eloquence. Others suggest that it opens the root & sacral chakras, grounds and protects, cleanses blood, heals muscles, ligaments and tendons, warms the body, empowers the soul, resolves confusion and apathy, increases sexual potency. It is believed that the stone would improve one's outlook, making the individual cheerful and expelling fears. It is also recommended for infertility or impotency, in addition it is used for purification of the blood.

Experiences: Influence of Quantum Elixir with Carnelian is somewhat more discreet then the one with the Lapis Lazuli, although its final result is of no less power. It induces gentle and positive euphoria and depending on personality increases sexual drive and brings unobtrusive joy into life.

Mental level (intellect, mind): Shift into positive and relaxing status, somewhat like drinking a young wine and sitting on the sun porch ...

Emotional level (emotions, feelings): Significantly increases courage to express one's creativity, joy from life, increases tolerance and emotional ability to accept life as it is and still remain sympathetic. It is interesting curiosity, that Quantum Elixir with Carnelian has the power to emotionally ged rid of and release from difficult, torturing and melancholic feelings.

Physical level (body): Causes slight increase in energy, decent urge to be more active (but not in terms of monotony work), a move of energies in the underbelly can occur (as sexual blocks are releasing).

Sexuality: In cases when someone is missing sexual energy, and spontaneity, the Quantum Elixir with Carnelian may increase the ability to become more active and allow for the expression feelings through actions. It also works in cases when someone is not able transform their feelings of love into sensuality and the ability to feel passion through touch. Some people experience unpleasant feelings when someone wants to touch them. Their feelings can be neutral, tickling or even negative, even if they try to feel something pleasant from other's touch - this is caused many times from the lack of energy. That energy might be gathered from this Quantum Elixir with Carnelian. In this respect there are subtle differences in Quantum Elixirs, as the Quantum Elixir with Lapis Lazuli increases potency if thoughts of the person hamper his/her spontaneity, while Quantum Elixir with Rose Quartz is for those who are shy. Even for those, that are able to have good feelings from another’s touch Carnelian QE can deepen their passion and sensuality.

Usage: To increase passion, the ability to be more sensual, and to get rid of difficult melancholic feelings, to bring joy into life. Especially suitable for those devoted to tantric sex. Regular use of Carnelian QE will help to get rid of torturing feelings of known or unknown origin. Here we would like to especially address those that have feelings that they have never experienced true joy in life, so now it is time to start to use this QE and taste something more then only being responsible and suffering in quite desperation.

Note: The taste of this QE is a somewhat spicy spagyric ... :-)

Pulse Essence Positivity - additional research notes
(July 15th, 2008)

Pulse Essences are somehow a new breed of products that work amazingly well with a wide range of traditional spagyric products from Plant Stones, Quantum Gem Elixirs, and other products that we produce at Golden Vessels. While Pulse Essences are not produced according to the traditional spagyric art for reasons for that are to follow, yet they are designed to deal with very specific situations of daily life. Pulse Essences are made from a minimum 7 - 12 herbal combinations in a balanced mixture to do the intended job. It is a well known fact by herbalist that all the necessary healing information, vibrational energy, and healing compounds are contained in each individual herb, in a raw alchemical balance taken as high as Nature can without the assistance of an artist. Yet even this natural alchemical balance within the herb can be used as a very "light" essence within an alcohol / water extract. Using this "raw natural alchemy" achieved by Nature herself, allows these products to act as a excellent springboard for starting ones inner work, and the balancing of inner energies, in preparation for the use of much stronger products. It also allows for a faster production time and an affordable starter product that can be appreciated by the individual and entire family. Our Pulse Essences bear one more specific quality and that is they have the ability to the correct emotional status with relation to the future as well, so they should eventually become unnecessary, once the specific emotional problem is solved.

The paradox we discovered (or maybe we only rediscovered ...) is that the more you want to handle a specific, clearly defined situation/emotion/problem, the more herbal essences you need to combine together to handle exactly that specific issue. But before we will get deeper into this, we should answer a simple question, which is why we even started to deal with emotional issues in this line Golden Vessels products? Why do we provide information that looks more suitable for healing shops or consulting services? Partly because of what is written in this article, but more importantly because it is a very fast and rewarding path of human evolution dealing with our emotions. Each particular emotion contains hundreds and thousands of respective pieces of mental information. So, instead of dealing with the one leaf (a thought), we can capture the whole tree.

Another reason is, that we want to provide some sort of a higher level or additional value to spagyric / alchemy discoveries as we cover product use in more concise and complex manner. Pulse Essences are a sort of base that should be mastered, and are a necessary tool to understand the effects of various more advanced products as Plant Stones, and Quantum Gem Elixirs more knowingly and consciously. That means that we aren't satisfied to provide customers only with something that would be described as "after using it I feel better or I feel different" as that sort of understanding on ones inner path values very little. If someone cannot distinguish the reasons for their own base emotional status, then the term feeling good or bad may be caused by only a series of accidents of daily life, and not by the conscious intent of a emotionally mature human being.

Why is the understanding of emotions important, even for Spagyricist and alchemists? If you know your emotions, you know where you are going, why you are going there and when you have reached one of your destinations. All of this can happen in seconds, as part of a clear intuition, which is an aspect of having a good connections with your emotional body and being able to translate its signals properly. And again, one emotion encompass thousand of thoughts (e.g. try to describe why you feel happy or unhappy in the presence of certain persons in words ...). So you may choose whether to master kung-fu in a few hours like a Neo (Matrix) or in some 20 - 40 years as whoever else, if ever. We are just talking about raw speed when dealing with emotions instead of thoughts.

Traditional texts about spagyrics or alchemy are 95 % about manufacturing process and only the remaining 5 % is usually about miraculous healing properties of the final stones, medicines, etc... Some books of recipes from German provenience make attempts to be more specific in this respect, but recipes without tangible human experience described and proved by testing are still something from the realm of oblivion. We may say that hidden intent of ancient authors was to inspire students and followers to discover by themselves the various properties and initiations of the things they "cooked". What is wrong with that approach for today's use is, that it is ancient. In the ancient times they had the time to focus on something specific. To become successful in so many fields today, where there is almost no time (unless you choose some monastery to live and study) – with lengthy manufacturing procedures, testing, having the talent to observe ones own nature, and knowing human nature in general. Not to mention translating the information gleaned from various realms into understandable language, all that requires an enormous capacity to handle it; and to reach that within a single human life under modern conditions is pure illusion. Enlightenment and the inner change of the follower on the path is often provided as a way to get and put all the missing parts of knowledge together, but that's also an illusion.

The closest description in respect to what spagyric / alchemical products should do internally on the level of emotions we were able to find, is in Mark Stavish's description of Ens, where he wrote the following. "The nature of spagyric tinctures, and in particular the Ens, is to clear out the blocks in our psychic makeup and anatomy, similar to what is called nadis in yoga or the meridians in acupuncture. This subtle anatomy allows for the exchange of information between the dense physical world of matter, the end point of creation, and the subtler psychic world of which it is an extension. In creation there are no breaks, gaps, or holes, such exist only in our knowledge or realization of Nature. By effecting change on this subtle in-between level, often called etheric, we can increase the flow and quality of energy from these slightly finer worlds ‘above’, to our physical world ‘below’". - Clearing out the blocks is only a half way - if behavior, genetic dispositions and social environment don't change, blocks return back into the same energetic place within human body from where they were removed".

So, let's get back to the Pulse Essence Positivity and why we found it is necessary to use that many herbs to treat specific emotional situation’s? Emotional blocks consist of many layers (the tree we mentioned above) of suppressed emotions. You open or unleash one and there is another from totally different time and location jumping out, after that one another pops up and so that goes on and on and on. The preparation of Pulse Essences requires a thorough knowledge and experience, since an exchange of powers and substances takes place among the species. Various herbs in the mixture of the Pulse Essence are supposed to work in tandems, as balanced weights against the emotions we find pushing, pulling, stressing and overloading us allowing the Pulse Essence to reach the final result for what it was designed - positivity.

Positivity itself is an interesting and not too frequent emotion, it is maybe one of most faked "emotions" people pretend to have in the US. It is a sort of cultural phenomenon here to give an impression of being positive, being in the good mood and suppressing anything that may come up other then positive image. It is actually one of the most difficult emotions to be naturally handled here, but it is also a good working ground as positivity is desired and esteemed very highly and it is far from being the case in other continents. Without positivity it is hard to comprehend and accept new things, improve the life style and become more flexible and cooperative.

Final manufacturing of the Pulse Essence Positivity was completed only recently with the other 6 Pulse Essences that were missing from the whole set. We were surprised by its gentle and continuous influence, as well as that it doesn't only balance or clear out negativity. It brings a soft and continuous feeling of positive attunement and warmth where it is missing. Are there any preconditions to start using Positivity Pulse Essence? Yes, we may say that at the level of inner individual values, one needs a high enough level of self-esteem and self-love. Without those 2 preconditions the value of being positive doesn't matter that much for an individual or family.

Finally, how to enjoy Pulse Essences. Try to take them when you have a break time, so you can attune to them, feel their influence and have a chance to realize, what they actually do in your emotional body, as the conscious understanding values most in this world, and your inner work. Take them as much as needed and use to drink more water to facilitate harmonizing process.

Lapis Lazuli and its application within Quantum Elixir
(June 29th, 2008)

We are currently in the final stage of making Quantum Elixir with Lapis Lazuli. Main ingredient is Lapis Lazuli Catalysis supplemented with a balancing herbal proprietary blend. At this stage we are very positively surprised by its strong meditative and mind balancing effects. Two versions of Quantum Elixir with its Lapis Lazuli are available – the non-tempered version (for those wanting to experience the full raw gemstone power) and a balanced version (with impregnated intent for the effect of the elixir to be more gentle). Both version have the same composition, they only differ by intent placed into them.

Technical data: The main component of Lapis Lazuli is lazurite (25% to 40%), a feldspathoid silicate mineral composed of sodium, aluminium, silicon, oxygen, sulfur, and chloride. Its formula is (Na,Ca)8(AlSiO4)6(S,SO4,Cl)1-2. Most Lapis Lazuli also contains calcite (white), sodalite (blue) and pyrite (metallic yellow). Other possible constituents are augite, diopside, enstatite, mica, hauynite, hornblende and nosean. Some contain trace amounts of the sulfur rich variety geyerite.

Lapis lazuli usually occurs in crystalline marble as a result of contact metamorphism. The finest color is intense blue, lightly dusted with small flecks of golden pyrite. There should be no white calcite veins and the pyrite inclusions should be small. Stones that contain much calcite at all or too much pyrite are not as valuable. Patches of pyrite are an important help in identifying the stone as genuine and do not detract from its value.

Known uses in the history were for making jewelry, decorative items and it was also ground and processed to make the pigment Ultramarine for tempera paint and, more rarely, oil paint. Its usage as a pigment in oil paint ended in the early 19th century as a chemically identical synthetic variety, often called French Ultramarine, became available. Painters of the Renaissance had a strong affinity for the ultramarine pigment due to its vivid rich consistency. Because of the costly manner by which the pigment was extracted from the stone lapis lazuli, natural ultramarine blue has been one of the most costly and precious of the artist materials equaling and sometimes exceeding the price of gold. Artists used the pigment quite sparingly reserving its use for the robes of the Virgin Mary and Christ child. Until now, natural ultramarine pigment was extremely difficult to buy. Most painters wishing to obtain it had to purchase the stone from a gem dealer and extract the pigment themselves.

Production process: The same as described in J. Reid's Minor Opus, only temperatures used during the process were much higher.

Uses found on the web: When searching for uses of this gemstone for potable purposes the typical description reads something like this " ... Lapis Lazuli enhances the interconnectedness of the higher bodies with the physical body, resulting in a heightened willingness to communicate freely, or the primary effect of Lapis is upon the throat; as such, Lapis affects the speech center and the ability to communicate freely and stay in touch with one’s surroundings..".

Well, frankly, we may speculate what such descriptions actually mean but let's get to something real here.

Experiences: What Quantum Elixir with Lapis Lazuli does is that it absolutely stops and pacifies all production of thoughts to such an extent, that you may experience feelings like those after 2 hours of professional meditation. If you try to experience what Buddhists have done for centuries, to stop the flow of thoughts, you may reach this state just with this Quantum Elixir (meditative experience with interruption of the flow of the thoughts is usually task for several years of intensive training). This quieting of the mind and speech allows you to experience the world as it is by your eyes and your body.

Lapis Lazuli strongly enhances balance on intellectual level of human perception, as well as produces a lot of cleaning that relates to ballast spread into human energy bodies by various mental constructions.

Mental level (intellect, mind): Immediate quieting of the mind, almost similar to that of alpha status of mind (beta is regular activity during a day, alpha is something like status just before falling asleep), release of accumulated pressure felt inside the head, release of anxieties and mental stress. Gives possibility "how to not think".

Emotional level (emotions, feelings): Increases trust that everything is proceeding according to Divine plan, as well as to strengthen trust into one's intuition, and cool down too hot emotions.

Physical level (body): Causes better grounding of physical body, a stability in physical body after mental overloading, and also relaxes breathing, and allows life to proceed at a slower pace.

Sexuality: In cases where you are nervous and your thoughts inhibit you to be more active (forcing you to follow routine pattern), creative or spontaneous, Quantum Elixir with Lapis Lazuli will allow you to feel more spontaneous, free and straightforward, as you follow your inner feelings. Especially for men Quantum Elixir with Lapis Lazuli may increase potency if their thoughts hamper their spontaneity. (Quantum Elixir with Rose Quartz is for those who are shy, Quantum Elixir with Carnelian is for those missing sexual energy).

Usage: Quantum Elixir with Lapis Lazuli is very valuable for those that suffer from hyper-scattered thoughts that overload their mental processes. Quantum Elixir with Lapis Lazuli is excellent to use before meditation or other spiritual techniques as it allows you to go faster and deeper into meditative states and effectively calm mind. It is good for those that return home from work of a intellectual nature, mentally exhausted and want to get into a relaxing mood. Another usage is when mental activity and the need to speak is bothersome and becomes obsessive. The use of Quantum Elixir with Lapis Lazuli will break the need for excessive speech as well as quiet your thinking allowing for a more relaxed feeling. Finally it is good to take a break after 2-3 days of using Quantum Elixir with Lapis Lazuli for least a day. The Influence and effects of Quantum Elixir with Lapis Lazuli may last from 1-2 weeks after usage cessation.

Its another use may be applied to diminish stage fever in the case it is caused by nervousness or by less developed communication skills.

It is wise and we also suggest to use Pulse Essence Positivity together with that Quantum Elixir with Lapis Lazuli as it balances the eventual impact of the mental cleaning process.

NB: For more sensitive individuals we suggest the restriction of use before going to sleep in cases that you have a high energy level and a mind full of thoughts as in that case you may remain without thoughts but full of energy, which will prohibit you from falling asleep. In addition sensitive persons should limit the use of Quantum Elixir with Lapis Lazuli when you need to react immediately (like during driving) or to respond within corporate discussions, presentation - although some may find useful the power of Lapis Lazuli to clear the mind and become more straightforward.
