long passage, five hundred spans under the Holy of Holies. A fire that
kills protects it.
The Copper Scroll of the Dead Sea Scrolls reveals that
foundations of the Temple concealed large amounts of gold and important
texts at the time of the Roman assault of 67CE to 70CE: 1413
Item 7: In the cavity of the Old House of Tribute, in the Platform
of the Chain: sixty-five bars of gold.
It may be that the six hundred talents of gold (about twenty-three
tons) under the Temple was an input for an alchemical process rather than
simply a store of wealth. It may have been feedstock for making the
Philosophers’ Stone.
To encourage the Jews to redouble their efforts to find the lost
Philosophers' Stone, Abraham Eleazar writes:
For you should know that God the Highest will promise and give
you His blessing so that you should enjoy the breadth of the land
and drink the dew of heaven.
This is the same exhortation as found engraved on copper tablets
in the manuscript of Samuel Baruch. 1414 Samuel Baruch writes that the
ultimate achievement is:
the great mystery of the world, the life and food of the holy souls
and angels, out of whose dew the heaven comes and the fatness of
the earth.
In addition, he adds:
My sons, I have sketched in figures the secrets of the great world,
and also its meaning according to its inner secret understanding,
as Moyses our brother had learned it from Tubal-Cain, and left it
behind, to your great joy, to find the Mighty One in Israel, in
figures, as well as His servants and angels, together with the
powers of the innermost receptacle in centro of the natures.
Finally, alchemists from generation to generation hand down a
dire warning:
That quintessence is a holy balsam and also a poison. This is all
medicine, and without the help of God it is without fruit, it kills
and destroys.... This is the great secret of the fathers, this is what
God gave them as a consolation, which they used when they were
in plight and trouble; otherwise they did not use it, because they
were satisfied with the Highest, and with little. This was the
masterpiece of the wise masters with which they prepared
everything necessary that belonged to the Temple.
