There is insufficient space here to explain the nature of biomagnetic and bioelectric currents or their origin and purpose in more detail. They always come into being and operate simultaneously, because everything is bipolar, i.e. in every man the feminine also exists, and in every woman the masculine. Here too it is merely a question of which type of molecular motion took place first, thus giving precedence to processes of oxidation or reduction. All it takes therefore is a small starting impulse to determine the fate of all living things and whether they are dispatched on a downward or upward path.

Christ Returns - Speaks His Truth
"The DIVINE INTENTION of UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS was to express ITs own wholeness through creation by individualising, in physical form, each of the two equally balanced aspects of ITSELF and then bringing them together again in physical form, to experience the unity and wholeness of DIVINE CONSCIOUSNESS from which they originally took their individuality.
As they come together in love and unity of spirit and body, they discover the joy and ecstasy of UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS in equilibrium.
(This entire process is clearly set out in Letters 5 and 7.) Therefore, the combination of the masculinity of the man and the femininity of the woman is essential to make a 'whole' drawn from the SOURCE of BEING. Out of this combination is formed a whole child." [Christ Returns - Speaks His Truth, Letter 4, page 17]
"In years to come, when a man and woman have evolved spiritually, if or when divided in intention, they will together take their intentions to 'FATHER-MOTHER-DIVINE CONSCIOUSNESS', asking: 'What is to be created in our circumstances? What is our best way ahead?'." [Christ Returns - Speaks His Truth, Letter 4, page 19]
Orpheus
"In man, who is a microcosm, there is no part that does not correspond to some element, some planet, some intelligence, or some measure and number of the archetype. Man is, therefore, the true image of the world, containing all within himself. Just as the son is lesser than the father, so too is man a lesser world. Therefore, he can comprehend the entire universe if he knows himself.
Hermes calls man a terrestrial god. He who knows himself fundamentally knows everything in himself. He is the link of the world, the ultimate animal, the spectacle of honor and the model of all things. He is the last and most perfect of creatures, as he receives within himself the celestial fire, the heavenly sphere, and the Hermetic word, which reveals the mysteries of celestial mechanics.
Thus, in man’s body, there is a reflection of the celestial bodies, forming a corporeal image composed of admirable proportions and sublime structure. He is the supreme center of the world, made in the likeness of divinity, being both created and creator, both unique and universal, both mortal and immortal."
"The stature and height are in perfect proportion. The body is full of circles. The likeness of animals appears in his features. His countenance has the aspect of an eagle.
Above the head is the firmament of crystal. Above the firmament is the throne, from which man receives his divine image. The face of man contains the faces of a bull, a lion, and an eagle.
'What blinds you with madness, I ask? Since all is within you, nothing is outside of you. Why do you seek outside what is already within you?' [Orpheus]
Collection of Alchemical Texts
"Man, the ruler and end of all things, is congratulated with extraordinary honor as the son of God on earth. On the bodily side, that is, in terms of his corruptible nature, he bears the image of the perceptible and temporal universe. On the spiritual side, that is, in terms of his immortal nature, he bears the image of the archetype of the world, which is the immortal wisdom of God. He is the ultimate creation, through whom nature is perfected in an absolute and complete way, as the perfection of all things, etc. This is what our great physician, Aliénan, said when he made this excellent doctrine about the principles of the Creation of the world and the generation of man." [Collection of Alchemical Texts, c. 1701]

"Man is the mountain of mountains, the stone of stones, the tree of trees, the root of roots, the earth of earths. All these things he includes within himself, and God has given to him to be the preserver of all things.’’
It is, therefore, in man himself that we are directed to seek for the solution of that chief crux of alchemy, the nature and locality of the First Matter of Philosophers.
Even if all Magical power is in the inward man, so is the Magnum Opus defined to be before all things the creation of man by himself, and that perfect emancipation of his will which ensures his universal dominion over Azoth and the domain of Magnesia.
‘‘In us is the power of all wonderful things, which the Supreme Creator has, of His infinite mercy, implanted in our Soul; out of her is to be extracted the First Matter, the true Argent Vive, the O of the Philosophers, the veritable Ens of Sol, namely, a Spiritual, living Gold, which will endure fire, test, and coppel.
Our soul has the power, when the body is free of any pollution, the heart void of malice and offence, spiritually and magically to act upon on any matter whatever. Therefore have I said that the First Matter is in the soul, and the extracting thereof is to bring the dominant power of the true, pure, living, breathing spirit and eternal soul into act.’
So also Geber, perhaps the most ancient of the adepts who are historically traceable, declares that ‘‘the universal orb of the earth contains not so great mysteries and excellencies as man reformed by God in His image.’’
"The work," says one, "while yet crude, is called our water permanent, our lead, our Saturn, our Jupiter; when better decocted, then it is argent, then magnesia, and white sulphur; when it is red, it is called auripigment, coral, gold, ferment, or stone, a lucid water of celestial color."
"Our Stone,’’ says another, ‘‘in the beginning is called water; when the body is dissolved, air or wind; when it tends to consolidation, then it is named earth; and when it is perfect and fixed, it is called fire.’’
As to the Fire, this has many meanings, but in all Philosophy it refers to the Soul of man and to his God. Paul Militz, in his translation of ‘‘ Pearls of Wisdom,”’ Says: "When in me, God is the fire and I in Him the light; Then are we one indeed, also eternal quite.
‘God is a fire, Spirit, Being, Light; And yet again, He none of all these light."
“If God be deemed a fire, my heart the hearth must be Upon which He doth consume the word of vanity.’’
Again: ‘‘Although the wise men have varied their names and perplexed their sayings, yet they would always have us think but of one only thing, one disposition, one way. The wise men know this one thing ; and that it is one they have often proved.”
This one thing is, first, Man, as a Nature; one, essentially, or substantially ;—but when the writers refer to man phenomenally, they speak of him under different names indicating different states, as he is before or after purification; or they refer to his Body, his Soul, or his Spirit under different names." [Alchemy and the alchemists; c. 1907 by Clymer, R. Swinburne]
