Coagulatio

The Alchemical Opus could be summarized as solutio and coagulatio, dissolve and coagulate. Every time we undergo any type of transmutation, we must assume a new form, even if temporarily. Where does coagulatio go in the process seems clear enough for me: calcinate: coagulate; dissolve: coagulate; die: ferment: coagulate; distill: coagulate; the fact is, we must regroup and keep moving forward, up and into finer and subtler forms. Conjunction or the marriage of opposites must always be part of a coagulatio. The image of a corn is most symbolic, because not only it must be a manifestation, but it must also be practical and be put into use and be recycled.
