The circle symbolizes sacrifice, according to Kabbalistic teachings, as a straight line bends to form a circle. This concept is reflected in the twelve zodiac signs, each representing a form of devotion and sacrifice to the Sun, akin to the twelve disciples of Jesus.

  • Twelve Months, Twelve Signs: Each month represents a sacrifice for the solar year.
  • Twelve Functions: The functions of the human body also sacrifice for the temple—the physical body as the "Church of God."
  • Twelve Minerals: Known as cell salts, these minerals combine to build body tissue.

The dynamic energy of these vitalized elements creates chemical affinities—the positive and negative poles of mineral expression. Interestingly, the letters in the word "goat" add up to twelve, reinforcing its significance.

Ancient allegories depict a goat carrying the sins of the Israelites into the wilderness, making it a prominent symbol in various initiation mysteries. In alchemical traditions, the "Great Work" begins "in the Goat" and concludes with the "White Stone." Biochemistry serves as this "stone," providing insights into the mysteries and symbolism of the Goat.

Individuals born between December 22 and January 19 fall under the influence of Capricorn, the Goat. This sign represents significant business interests—trusts and syndicates that form the backbone of society. Capricorn symbolizes the foundation of human interests, with the bones of the body serving as the structural framework for the soul's temple (Solomon's temple).

Bone tissue primarily consists of calcium phosphate (Calcarea phosphate). A sufficient amount of lime is essential for bone formation, making it the body’s foundational element. Just as a building requires a solid foundation, the "Great Work" commences in the Goat, with lime symbolizing the "White Stone."

In Revelation 2:17, the alchemical formula for the "White Stone" is found: "To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and I will give a White Stone, and in the Stone a new name written which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it."

It is said that in the mountains of India, a tribe of priests claims that a person's entire life history is recorded in their bones, which they regard as secret archives that decay more slowly than flesh.

When the levels of calcium phosphate fall below normal, disturbances can occur in bone tissue, leading to conditions like bone decay (caries). Calcium phosphate is vital for carrying albumin to the bones, where it acts as a binding agent.

Bright's disease, characterized by an overflow of albumin via the kidneys, results from a deficiency of calcium phosphate. Similarly, when Goat salt is lacking in gastric juices and bile, undigested food can ferment, causing acid buildup in synovial fluids, leading to pain in joints—a condition often misidentified as rheumatism.

Non-functional albumin from insufficient calcium phosphate can cause various health issues, including skin eruptions, abscesses, consumption, and catarrh. It's essential to remember that "disease" means being "not at ease," indicating a deficiency in bodily materials rather than a separate entity.

Calcium phosphate should never be taken in crude form; it must be triturated to the sixth decimal (X) using the biochemic method with a sugar for proper absorption.

Capricorns possess a profound inner nature, often retreating into the "solitude of the soul." They dream, plan, and build idealized worlds, enjoying their imaginative landscapes. Even when talkative, their words rarely convey the depth of their inner wonderland, marked by a persistent "No Thoroughfare."

In biblical alchemy, Capricorn represents Judah, the fourth son of Jacob, symbolizing "the praise of the Lord." In the New Testament, Capricorn corresponds to the disciple John.
