The last sign in this line of occult writing is a circle with a diameter: 🜔. In alchemy, this is the symbol of “salt.” It represents the separation of the life body from the physical body. During the lunar period, these two parts of the human being, these two tools of the spirit, had the same density (Figure 4) as a saturated salt solution. But during the Earth period, a process took place similar to the separation of crystals in a salt solution; one part of the composite body became coarser, denser, while the other part became finer, more fluid. Thus, this symbol shows the crystallization of the physical body in the etheric body, the life body.
