The Alchemy of Love

From the earth arises a surging a singing and a longing restless atoms dancing with awakening love for you.
The elements are restless within you, the grasses long for you, the wildflowers, the herbs and shrubs, the trees remember you in their winter rest.
Animals prowl the night seeking contentment from you.
The chicken breaks out of its egg the butterfly its cocoon, the human baby its womb searching for you.
Men cast aside lovers for new lovers seeking you.
The exploiter denies you yet fears to hear your tread.
Night comes, days come, on earth and amidst the stars there is no day or night and ever wakeful angels among the stars shine an unbroken stream of love for you.
All as one there is a symphony; a symphony of love played for you.
All as one there flows a wave; a wave of love for you, a wave of love that would fill your cup, a wave of love that would ease the burden of your separateness, a wave of love that forgets its source and forgets itself and has forgotten the sins of the world.
I am that wave of love.

Collection of Truth:
SEX MAGICK: Subconscious manipulation. The practice of using sexually produced fluids and/or energy to enhance or awaken ones magical or physical abilities, or to animate inactive or inoperative objects such as talismans, extend life, etc. This substance is called “The Elixir of Life.”
Hermes states: “Join the male to the female in their own proper humidity, because there is no birth without union of male and female.” Plato mentions: “Nature follows kindred nature, contains it, and teaches it to resist fire. Wed the man to the woman, and you have the whole Magistery.” In this operation, the essence of the Creative Source (Hadit, Kether, etc.) is manipulated and attached to a specific physical representation of something which does not yet exist, or which is lifeless, in order to awaken its archetypal potential.
SPIRITUAL ALCHEMY: This is another form of subconscious manipulation. It is the science of causing spiritual transformation by using ritual, fasting, meditation, and other practices engineered to cause phenomena to occur within the psyche of the practitioner conductive to spiritual attainment. The desire result was The Stone of the Philosophers, which was not only believed to extend the life of the scientist, but was credited with the powers of Creation. It is said that Alchemical Gold is not a metal, and that man is already in possession of the Philosopher's Stone, therefore, men and women are the vessels for the substances needed to create this rare matter; or the phenomena it represents. During the inquisition, many Alchemists escaped doom by appealing to the greed of religious figures; disguising this type of alchemy in the guise of Alchemical Metallurgy.
ALCHEMICAL METALLURGY: The process of turning base metals, such as lead, steel, copper, etc., into gold, silver, or other precious metals. In alchemical legend, some are credited with turning lead into gold; this form of alchemy has never evolved beyond its mythological form. I must point out that, while these three categories may appear to differ greatly from one another, they are exactly the same things. They are different expressions of the alchemical experience as it
manifests itself in different planes of existence.

Love is a strong motivating factor in our life because true love comes from our heart and therefore has an overwhelming impact on our thoughts, emotions and will. When we love something we are willing to regularly commit our time and effort to it. When we love someone we are willing to do, and keep doing, things for them due to the level of commitment we have to them. Our thoughts and feelings towards the person make it easy to apply our will to keep doing things that they may ask us to or what we believe they want us to. It is this way in every good marriage, every good parent/child relationship and it is the same in our relationship with God.God desires to enter into our life and desires to be the focus of our life. He is ready to enter in and commune with the believer 24 hours a day, if we will hear Him knocking on the door of our heart and let Him in. God must be our greatest desire and the one we long to be with while living here on earth and for eternity. There is nothing and no one more important in our life in heaven or on earth than Him.
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up, does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil, does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth, bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. ... And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
God's love is a different kind of love to the one we come to know in this world for it is a love that loves all whether they deserve it or not. It is not a love based on the characteristics of the other person or what they can do for us but is a love that sacrifices itself for the good of others. It is a love that is able to give to people who do not have the means to ever give back to us. It is a self-less love.
For the believer, expressing this love through our lives means that love must be the underlying motive for every word and action in our life. The love we show is the love that we believe God would show people. Practically, this means that we must always act in a way that draws people to God with the hope that they will seek God and be reconciled to Him. We are God's ambassadors upon this earth and people will form an opinion of God based on the way that believers live their daily lives.
There are no boundaries in our command to love people, we are commanded to love every man, woman and child that lives on the earth. In the words of Jesus recorded in the gospels, He tells us to love our enemies, do good to those who hurt us, bless those that curse us and give to those that ask of us. In accordance with God's character, we are to forgive those who do wrong against us and seek to save people rather than condemn or judge them.
God's love is experienced by believers through the presence of the Holy Spirit inside us and God's love is then seen through the same love that believers then express through our lives. Love, expressed through the power of the Holy Spirit, is a mark of assurance that a believer is walking faithfully and closely with God and that the person is safely on the narrow path to eternal life.

Spiritual love encourages flexibility of thought and attitude. It continues to embrace change and to assimilate new information. A healthy spirituality is ever searching, open to new experiences and ideas. Part of the wonder of spiritual mystery is often in seeing an old thing in a brand new way. This doesn’t occur with strict, unthinking adherence to any kind of dogma.
Courage is required to face the unfamiliar and challenge the frightening. As you get older, it takes courage to remain open to new learning experiences, to question spiritual authority and the lingering ghosts of your childhood. It takes courage to walk alone through the cave with your flickering candle to reach the starlit sky.
Spiritual life is a ragged adventure full of mystery and surprise. At its best, it is a quest across an ocean of time fueled by curiosity and wonder. Spiritual love can be immersed in all the passion and sensuality that life and death and fiery creation deserve. And in the end at the beginning, astronomers and religious authorities agree. “Let there be light.”

According to legend, the science of spiritual liberation known as Alchemy was imparted to humanityas a gift from the gods who descended from the heavens around the time of Atlantis and Lemuriasome thirteen thousand years ago. The knowledge then made its way through Sumeria now modernday Iraq, considered one of the birthplaces of civilization. The knowledge continues through India, Egypt, China, South America, Israel, Europe, and North America. This cosmic drama spans thelength of recorded history up to the present day and addresses the deepest questions of life.
This gift of spiritual technology is for the purpose of embodied liberation of the human soul where byones evolutionary soul growth is accelerated to completion within one lifetime. The illusion of individual separation gives way to unity with the transcendent through the transformation of conscious awareness and liberation of the soul from the cycle of birth and death. The transmigrationof the soul from incarnation to incarnation reaches completion and fulfillment. This is also known asillumination, enlightenment, transfiguration, ascension, or God realization.
To the ancients, this science of transformation was the highest valued knowledge and the ultimate culmination of the human experience. The science was intact up until about three thousand yearsago when the knowledge became fragmented and to a large degree lost. Suppression by orthodox religion forced the knowledge underground into mystery schools. It has also been referred to as thePerennial Philosophy or the Underground Stream of knowledge due to its hidden nature encoded in  symbols, myth, and scripture.

Alchemy, due to its inherent power, has always been a highly guarded secret science in order toprotect the student from harm and to protect the sacred from misuse by the profane. During themiddle ages, it was additionally hidden to protect one from persecution by orthodox religion. Thehidden aspect of alchemy has contributed to the lack of definition and confusion. Alchemy continuesto be shrouded in mystery, controversy, and speculation.

Alchemy, is said to be the Great Work of nature that perfects matter, whether it is expressed as thecosmos or our soul. The term Chemistry has its root in Khem. The science of modern Chemistryevolved from the Alchemists in Europe. Alchemy was brought to Europe by the Moors in Spain  originating from the Arabians. The Arabians added the prefix Al referring to Allah or God. There fore,alchemy can be defined as the Science of God Realization. It has also been referred to as the Royal Art or the Royal Path back to God. Originally, the lineage of priests, priestesses, and royal dynasties were associated with being the custodians of this knowledge.Godfathers of alchemy were Shiva and Angiras of India, Anu of Sumeria, Thoth or Tehuti of Egypt, and the Eight Immortals of China. Thoth was known as Hermes by the Greeks and Mercury by the Romans. The Hermetic alchemical tradition stems from Hermes. It is the Hermetic tradition that took place in medieval Europe for some three hundred years. Additionally, some feel that alchemy evolved from the Shaman's of prehistory and is the result of the ancients living close to nature and unlocking her secrets. The gods were viewed as ambassadors from the heavenly realm with the mission of helping elevate humanity. With names like the Devas, Anunnaki, Neteru, and Elohim, they are collectively known as the Shining Ones.

The foundation of alchemical philosophy and practice is reflected in nature's elements and universal pattern of transformation. The four elements are Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. The seven phase pattern of transformation is comprised of Calcination, Dissolution, Separation, Conjunction, Fermentation, Distillation, and Coagulation. This is also known as the Emerald Formula.

Hermes or Mercury is known as the Messenger of the Gods and is a recurring archetype in history who restores the knowledge of Divine Union with the absolute. He is traditionally pictured holding the Caduceus Staff which symbolizes the alchemical process of spiritual liberation. The goddess Athena is the female counterpart of Mercury.

A primary key in understanding alchemy is to view the science from three perspectives. Internal referring to the body, mind, and consciousness. External referring to outside the body and of the Earth. Celestial or heavenly referring to the planets, stars, galaxy, and universe. Alchemy is areflection of the phases, cycles, processes, or transformations of nature. Therefore, the symbolism of alchemy can be interpreted on a inner, earthly, and celestial level. Most importantly, the macrocosm of the outer world is mirrored in the microcosm of the human body, mind, and consciousness.

The Emerald Formula can be seen as having an integral correlation with the emerging science of Zero Point Energy or Free Energy technology. Some say the Emerald Formula is also mirrored in the symbolism of the Tarot that reflects the Royal Path back to God. The famous phrase "As Above So Below" comes from the Emerald Formula which is reproduced as follows. "In truth, without deceit, certain, and most veritable. That which is below corresponds to that which is above, and that which is above corresponds to that which is below, to accomplish the miracles of the one thing. And just as all things have come from this one thing, through the meditation of one mind, so do all created things originate from this one thing, through transformation.

Its father is the sun; its mother the moon. The wind carries it in its belly; its nurse is the earth. It is the origin of all, the consecration of the universe; its inherent strength is perfected, if it is turned into earth. Separate the earth from fire, the subtle from the gross, gently and with great ingenuity. It rises from earth to heaven and descends again to earth, there by combining within itself the powers of both the above and the below.

The great secret of alchemy is the Divine Marriage of opposites which gives birth to the Spirit Body of transcendence associated with liberation of the soul. The exact process of metamorphosis  leading to the creation and birth of the spirit body within the physical body has long been veiled inmystery and secrecy.
The spirit body is not to be confused with ones subtle body or subtle bodies which one already has from birth. The creation and birth of the spirit body is a entirely unique process found within the various world traditions of alchemy. The spirit body has gone by names like Deva Deha, Siddha Deha, Golden Pearl, Merkaba, Rainbow Body, Diamond Body, Star Body, and Immortal Body of Light.

Also this marriage parallels the practice of Tantric sexual union and unfoldment of the inner life energy referred to as the Kundalini. This process is also mirrored in the Jewish mystical tradition of the Kabbalah when ascending the Tree of Life which esoterically is the seven energy centers or chakras that run up the spinal column to the brain.
The alchemical marriage of opposites can be seen in the symbolism of the intersecting triangles of the Jewish Star of David, Seal of Solomon, and the Sri Yantra of India. The upward pointing triangle symbolizes the male or fire principle, and the downward pointing triangle symbolizes the female or water principle. The Bindu point in the center of the Sri Yantra symbolizes the point of transcendence. The Yantra is a graphic symbol of the Mantra. The Mantra corresponds with the Five Elements and Logos or Word of God. Also the marriage of opposites can be seen in the symbolism of the Christian Cross.

The sphere at the top of the staff represents the energy center of the brain or the seventh chakra also known as the thousand petaled lotus. The Wings at the top of the staff is the culmination of the alchemical process. This represents freedom or liberation of the soul from the cycle of birth and death. One transcends the bonds of ego and bodily identification. The spirit is released from the confines of matter. Ultimately, this is the unfoldment of consciousness where by one realizes ones self to be infinite also known as self-realization.
Most esoteric symbolism and myth reflects the process of alchemical transformation in both its inner and outer aspects. Dragon symbolism is a reflection of the life force. The Uraeus headdress of the Egyptian pharohs in which the serpent protrudes from the forehead symbolizes the unfoldment of the Kundalini. The Phoenix bird rising from the ashes represents the alchemical process of transformation, rebirth, and liberation. The Christmas Tree can be seen as a reflection of this process. Also the Biblical story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden although edited byorthodoxy also represents the alchemical process. The Fruit of the Tree of Life can be equated with Elixir and Apotheosis.

"I assure you, unless you are born again, you can never see the Kingdom of God. The truth is, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of Water and the Spirit."

The idea of rapture, resurrection, transfiguration, ascending to heaven, and becoming an immortal is based upon this process. There are numerous stories throughout history of those who practiced alchemy becoming immortal. This relates to the development and birth of the spirit body. This is the great spiritual rebirth, enlightenment, or illumination.
Through the marriage of opposites, one becomes whole or holy, or to become born again. This can also be seen as the marriage of Soul and Spirit and an expression of the highest form of healing. It is the exact process of how to create this marriage which has always been secret. Gnosis or direct experience makes up the Gnostic tradition of Esoteric Christianity. Both Jesus and Mary Magdalene are considered to be key figures in the alchemical nature of Esoteric Christianity. The exoteric or outer rituals of orthodox religion like the Seven Holy Sacrament's, Baptism, Anointing, Christening, Consecration, Holy Water, and the Eucharist are a reflection of the esoteric or inner practice of alchemy where faith is replaced with direct experience, and death is replaced with embodied liberation. The anthropomorphic deity is transcended and the infinite is realized.
The human body is the ultimate temple or alchemical laboratory where transformation takes place.The Spirit Body developed within the physical body is the ultimate vehicle of resurrection, ascension, and transcendence. It is said that to have a human body is a extremely rare gift and there are countless souls without a body waiting to take birth. Through the body and mind, one can realize ones true self. The focus of alchemy is to accelerate the growth of the human soul within one lifetime to completion or perfection.

One overrides the process of normal evolution involving countless incarnations where the soul is led by desire and attachment to the temporal which keeps one bound to the cycle of birth and death.The experience of the phenomenal world and its associated pleasures do not give lasting happiness. Humans are programmed by nature to continually seek happiness which is essentially a search for ones true self. For most, happiness is sought outwards in temporal pleasure.
Self-realization is about turning inwards and finding eternal happiness, peace, and fulfillment. Thetrials, tribulations, and lessons of life reach their culmination and fulfillment in self-realization. One transcends phenomenal creation and realizes the infinite source of creation within. With this awakening of awareness, one sees all of creation as an aspect of ones self. Alchemy accelerates the process of evolution thereby allowing one to step off the wheel of birth and death. One transcends desire, duality, karma, space, and time. Ones true nature is realized which is infinite.

It is the laboratory work of Tantric alchemy where you find the secrets of creating the external elixir. The outer laboratory is composed of equipment that mirrors the internal laboratory of the body. The Atharva Veda is considered the source book for this process. Various ingredients like cinnabar, mica, salt, gemstones, gold, and flowers were used in its creation. Laboratory work revolves around the progressive purification and transformation of mercury and sulfur to create elixir.
Mercury, which is a poison in its raw form, is transformed into an elixir. There are eighteen classical steps involved in its creation. Although you can find descriptions of the process in various texts like the Rasanarva also known as the Flood of Mercury, the exact process of creating elixir still remains veiled behind symbols and secrecy. The Nath Siddhas of Northern India and the Tamil Siddhas of Southern India are descendants of this tradition. Some feel the deepest secrets of this science were transferred from India to the remote reaches of the Himalayas and Tibet.

Internally, the secret process of transformation revolves around the Naval, Heart, and Head center. The naval center relates to the solar plexus and the element of fire or Agni. The heart center is where the divine marriage of fire and water takes place through love leading to the development and birth of the spirit body. Love is the key ingredient for the divine marriage. The head center relates tothe element of water or Soma.The fuel for this process is ones life force energy. In the Indian tradition this relates to Prana(Energy), Ojas (Essence), and Tejas (Spirit). In the Chinese tradition this relates to Chi (Energy), Jing (Essence), and Shen (Spirit). These are also known as the three treasures. In this process,ones life force or kundalini energy correlates with the conservation and circulation of sexual energy. This also relates to physical longevity. The life force energy that animates ones body or creates new life is the same energy one uses in this process of alchemical transformation. The sacrum bone at the base of the spine is also called the sacred bone in esoteric anatomy. This is where the internal energy passes up through the spine to the brain then back down to the solar plexus and sex center creating a circle of energy. The sacrum is one of the gates that energy must pass through in order to circulate freely and completely. The symbolism of the Holy Grail cup and Holy Blood can be seen to correspond with the heart and elixir.
A key secret in this alchemical process is Inversion, or the process of placing Fire beneath Water. The esoteric details of this process are found in the alchemical meditations of Taoist and Tantric alchemy. Inversion is also key to circumventing the aging process. Placing Fire beneath Water transforms sexual energy into life force energy in order to develop the soul body which develops into the immortal spirit body.
The head center is called the Crystal Palace or Heavenly Heart in Taoist alchemy and the Cave of Brahma in Tantric alchemy. The head center contains the pineal and pituitary gland which is considered male and female in polarity. The pineal corresponds with the Ajna or Third Eye chakra and the pituitary corresponds with the Sahasrara or Thousand Petaled Lotus chakra. It is said a arcor spark of energy takes place between the pineal and pituitary relating to illumination. The pineal is related to the hormone Melatonin and the pituitary is related to the hormone Serotonin. The regulation of mood is related to Serotonin.
Entheogenic substances like LSD, Psilocybin Mushrooms, MDMA Ecstasy, and DMT are a subject of study for those in the field of consciousness research. Some feel the plant Ayahuasca or Vine of the Soul used by South American Shamans may have some correlation to the famed Soma of alchemy. Recently, the discovery of Monoatomic Gold and how it may or may not relate to the elixir of alchemy has generated much controversy. Researcher Laurence Gardner covers this subject in Lost Secrets of the Sacred Ark. It is interesting to note that the Great Pyramid of Egypt is said to have been the place of alchemical initiation. It is likely the Great Pyramid is a exoteric representation of the internal anatomy. The grand stairway relates to the spine. The King and Queens chamber relates to the pineal and pituitary. Also there is the relation to the solar plexus since Pyra means Fire and Mid means Middle, hence Pyramid meaning Middle Fire.
The advanced meditations of Taoist alchemy employs the external energy of stars to hasten the creation of the internal Spirit Body. The seven stars of Ursa Major and Polaris are aligned within the microcosm of the body. This likely has correlation with the star shafts of the Great Pyramid. It is interesting how Polaris corresponds with the Bindu or Axis of Transcendence and the seven stars corresponds with the charkas and the Seven Rishi Seers who cognized the Vedas.

The eventual birth of the Spirit Body correlates with transcendence and the aperture at the top of the skull. This is embodied liberation or liberation of the soul while still alive in the physical body. The aperture is where one is eventually able to exit and re-enter the physical body with the Spirit Body through advanced alchemical practice. It is also said that the aperture is where the soul enters at birth and exits at physical death in normal mortality. The birth of the Spirit Body and union with the  Light of Heaven or Transcendent is the apex of the alchemical process.

The Vedic ritual reaches its climax in the Soma offering, in which specially prepared plant juices are offered into the sacred fire (Agni) as the drink of the Gods. But this ancient ritual reflects a deeper internal ritual or alchemy of awareness that is its real import. In exploring this process, we will discover many secrets of the practice of Yoga, including the path of Self-inquiry or Jnana Yoga. Soma is first of all part of a great universal symbolism. Soma pervades the outer world as water in its various forms on the earth and in the sky, as the sap of plants, the vital fluids in animals, the Moon, and even the waters (vibratory field) of space. Soma exists inside ourselves as a psychological principle of feeling, love and inspiration, including our creativity that we manifest in diverse forms.
Yet beyond this, Soma is a spiritual principle, an aspect of the infinite and a key to immortality. In the state of meditation, the brain and mind naturally secrete a special type of Soma or nectar of peace and contentment, which reflects this spiritual Soma. Ultimately Soma is the bliss of all existence, the Ananda through which the universe is created and into which it must return. It is this Soma or Ananda that is the prima materia or ultimate substance behind the entire world.

Soma as a cosmic power, however, is not simply watery in its nature. It has an oily quality that can nourish and sustain fire. In this regard it has been compared to ghee (ghrita) in texture. All objects that we see are like fuel for the flame of our awareness. Soma also has a sweet quality and has been compared to honey (madhu). All that we see is like a flower, from which the honey of bliss can be extracted. These properties that can sustain light and provide joy pervade all of space.
Great yogis can access them with their subtle bodies (the linga or fire body) and move at will through all the worlds, finding nourishment and delight in all that they perceive. Soma is the delight which is the counterpart of light. On the deepest level, Agni is the fire of consciousness (Chidagni) that is reflected in the Soma or water of bliss. In this regard Agni and Soma are ultimately the same, two complementary aspects of Brahman (God).

The legend of the gods descending from the heavens and imparting alchemy to humanity begins a vast trail of mysterious treasure that one can trace from Atlantis right up to the founding of America. Artifacts relating to the treasure are seen in the stories of the Emerald Tablet, the Egyptian Hall of Records, the Ark of the Covenant, and the Holy Grail.
The treasure is said to have passed from Atlantis to Egypt and then on to King Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem Israel. Other places associated with the treasure are the Himalayas, Desert Iraq, and Axum Ethiopia. King Solomon's temple is a focal point for much of this lore. King Solomon was considered to have been a master alchemist. The name Solomon is a conjunction of Sol or Sun and Mon or Moon, which is the alchemical marriage of opposites. His temple is said to have housed the Ark of the Covenant until it was hidden from invaders. Control of the site, which was King Solomon's temple, now the Dome of the Rock, factors into the current Middle East crisis and terrorism.

Before attempting to perform any magical activity, it is useful if one has learned to control the activity of the mind so that the operation will not be hampered by thoughts contrary to the working. This is especially true of Sex Magick.
There are many reasons for preparing the mind before embarking, three of which are:
1) The mind must be so well focused and disciplined that it will withstand the natural tendency to wander from the desired effect of the operation to the operation itself. In magical context, once you start the operation you have no choice but to complete it. If the mind is allowed to wonder from the original intent, to the physical, pleasurable aspect of the technique the results can be disastrous.
2) These exercises will strengthen the magician’s ability to focus and still the mind, and will enable you to pull up the necessary defense should you find yourself in trouble, and will also help you recover from the problem mentioned above.
3) One must be aware of the cataloging processes of the mind in order to interpret the phenomena that one will experience by these practices. The Qabalah is, in my opinion, the best tool. Certain truths will make themselves known to those individuals who put the following methods into action. While these truths are readily understood on an unconscious level, they will be perceived consciously to defy logic. The exercises in New Aeon Magick will facilitate the practitioner with a method of explaining his experiences.

Fasting is a very powerful if it is focused. There are some very desirable psychological benefits to fasting for at least a full day before the operation, but it is not necessary to the fulfillment of the working. Diet, however, is important if the Elixir is going to be used to treat disease. The male body extracts the finest proteins, amino acids, and nutrients specifically for the production of sperm, and the woman's body does the same in order to manufacture a secretion that is high in mineral content, such as calcium.
First, the body of the Magician must be purified by water. Declare by prayer (or some other verbal means) that the body is being purified for the task at hand and bathe. The use of bath salts adds a nice touch, especially if the scents being used are in some way connected to the operation. For those that are unsure about which essence to use, Frankincense or Musk are safe bets for men. For women Sandalwood, Civet, Myrrh, Rose, or Jasmine is very desirable. (Be careful with Civet, however: a little goes a long way). If the operation requires the assistance of a second individual, do not bathe together. In fact, try not to expose yourselves to each other for a few hours before the working. Celibacy for a few days prior to the operation is very beneficial, as the union will be greatly anticipated and received with much intensity and joy.

Invoke the appropriate god for the result desired using the Invoking Ritual of the Hexagram and state your desire before the deity. Next you must assume the god-form. Your partner will therefore become the God's consort. This is a very powerful part of this operation, and when properly done the Kundalini wastes no time. Begin intercourse.
Rosinus writes: “When the Sun (Gold), my brother, for the love of me (Silver) pours his sperm into the chamber of my Lunar body, when we become one in a strong and complete complexion and union, the child of our wedded love will be born.” Note that the lovers are, in this operation, brother and sister, and hence, allude to the mysteries of Isis and Osiris.
At the point of orgasm the image must be called to consciousness so that for a few brief moments, nothing else will exists in the universe of the Magician except for that image. What one thinks about during the physical manifestation must not be foreign to the function of the Deity involved, and the thoughts must not be at odds with the end desired. The image and the intent of the operation must be ever back grounded in the Magician’s consciousness. Obviously, the longer that one refrains from orgasm the more powerful the result.
Whether the practitioner is male or female, the fluids can be either consumed or used to charge the talisman. The talisman or thought form will become living entities. In my opinion, women have a stronger potential to intensify the success of this operation, as they are capable of multiple orgasms, in which case the intent or image of the operation should be encouraged to flood the consciousness at each peak of the orgasm.
In some cults males and females alike will congregate in private spaces made sacred by ceremony. Afterwards, they will pleasure a Priestess, and during orgasm and the coma-like phenomena that occur immediately following orgasm the Priestess becomes an oracle, answering questions for the participants and seeing future events.

In an ancient alchemical treatise called “The Sounding of the Trumpet,” we are told that: “In the Lunar Stone is the white sulphur, in the Solar Stone red sulphur, and the Mercurial Stone embraces both, which is the strength of the whole Magistery.”
This alludes to the exchange of fluids, one into the other vessel. The use of the word “strength” in this paragraph is not random: see the Rider Waite Tarot trump called “Strength”, or Crowley's equivalent “Lust.”
Red is the color of Geburah on the Tree of Life and has become known to most by its association with the Phallus, Mars (the God of War), and the Kundalini. Red, is also the heraldic substitute for the metal Gold, a metal usually attributed to the Sun and possessing male qualities. At first glance it is easy to perceive this as conflict in archetypes.

Perfect Balance and Harmony are attributions of Tiphareth; whose metal is Gold. Knowledge and Conversation with the Holy Guardian Angel is said to be symbolized by Tiphareth. “Knowledge,” in this context, is meant in the biblical sense, a sexual knowledge. We will therefore establish that the desired end of sex magick is to be found within the realm of experience illustrated by Tiphareth. Furthermore, since the metal attributed to Tiphareth is Gold, and the desired end of the alchemical transmutation of lesser metals is Gold, we can safely
assume that careful speculation and analysis of Tiphareth will reveal the affinity between both systems of spiritual attainment.
Because Tiphareth plays such an important role in both, alchemy and sex magick, we will use the transmutation of the lesser metals symbolized by the other Sephiroth into Gold, as a metaphor explaining the mechanics of sex magick.

Take note that Geburah is on the Left Pillar, known to be feminine, and known to represent sexual passion or aggression (which are not exclusively male qualities). Menstruation is red. The female quality in Geburah is a higher expression of the passionate qualities expressed in Netzach: the root of Fire and unbridled passion. Geburah also represents the destruction of the old so that something new can exist, and this will remind those of us that understand a woman’s cycle of the regeneration of the surface of the uterus which occurs during menstruation.
If we attempt to raise the vibrational quality of the energy symbolized by Netzach to Geburah we will need to take the Path illustrated by the Tarot card Death: Trump 13. Also, the Hebrew word “ACHAD”, which means LOVE enumerates to 13. The hermetic meaning of the card Death is orgasm, “the little death,” and is symbolic of the changes which occur during release. We then continue moving towards Geburah to the Path illustrated by Tarot trump 8: Adjustment. (Waite's trump #11 “Justice”).
Trump 8 is attributed to the Hebrew letter Lamed, which means “Ox Goad.” This suggests some relation to trump 0, The Fool, which is attributed to the Hebrew letter Aleph and means “Ox.” Therefore, the Ox Goad is an implement used to control, instruct, or teach an Ox. The Ox, or The Fool, illustrates creative power in action: The Ox Goad, or Adjustment, represents that which is the driving force within it.
The Zodiacal attribution to Adjustment is Libra. Its color is green and Venus rules it, and here we begin to see its connection to Netzach. The fact that its physical representation is that of a whip ties it in with the disciplinary qualities of Geburah. In sex magick, this path defines our purpose and intent. It alludes to the mental discipline necessary to complete the Work.
There is an apparent discrepancy pertaining to “The White Eagle.” White is the heraldic color for the metal silver, and silver is a Lunar color usually associated with woman, but most importantly it is the color of alchemical Mercury (Hod). We can then start a series of association: If Silver equals Mercury, and Mercury equals sperm, then we can assume that like sperm, Hod will contain both male and female potential. We then turn to Qabalistic analysis for verification and see that the image of Hod is a Hermaphrodite.
Kether is the First Matter, and from it we extract the Three Alchemical Principles (Mercury, Sulphur and Salt) embodied in Chaos (Chockmah). From there we encounter the first “imperfect” metal: Lead (Binah). Its decent towards Gold (Tiphareth) is symbolized by the Path of The Lovers, The Marriage of Opposites.
The next “imperfect” metal is Tin: Chesed. Its movement towards purity is symbolized by the Path of The Hermit: The Sperm.
Next is Iron, or Geburah: its method toward flawlessness is alluded to by the Path of Adjustment: Discipline and direction are the ways to the Kundalini.
The following metal is Copper, or Netzach. Its progress toward Gold is symbolized by the Trump Death: The Orgasm, or destruction of the Ego... Sacrifice. The Path represented by the Tarot Trump The Devil: The Phallus, and alludes to the transition of Mercury, or Hod. The Art Trump symbolizes the Path for Silver, or Yesod.
Once these alchemical ideas have become perfected in the Sphere of Tiphareth (Sol, Gold), they descend down towards physical manifestation in Malkuth through the Paths symbolized by the Tarot Trumps Art and The Universe.
The ART Trump (or Temperance, as it is called in other decks) shows a double-faced woman wearing a Lunar crown; she is shown half-white and half-black alluding to the Taoist idea of Balance. She pours Fire and Water into a Cauldron, from which a WHITE Lion and RED Eagle drink.
The apparent reversal of colors and archetypes allude to the Taoist idea of the balance between a person’s male AND female energies: Ying and Yang.
The physical manifestation of the Elixir of Life, Alchemical Gold, or the Stone of The Philosophers is symbolized by Malkuth: the Four Elements, The Garden of Eden, whose magical image is that of a beautiful young maiden sitting upon a cube holding an apple between her legs.

The idea of “Alchemical Gold”, as it pertains to the Elixir which is used to delay the effects of aging, prolong life, and healing illness comes from the fact mentioned above: that the human body uses the finest nutrients for the development of sperm and vaginal secretions. Once the business of consuming these thoroughly mixed fluids is repeated over many years, the end result (so the alchemist believes) will be secretions of the highest purity;, their potency being greatly magnified each time, until the consummation of such secretions has the potential to heal all disease. THIS is called “ALCHEMICAL GOLD”.

Yoga can be seen as a way of establishing harmony in our lives. Harmony between intention and action, structure and function, body and mind, spirit and matter, self and other. This can not be done if we are not willing, ready and able to engage ourselves fully. This means that we must encounter and engage our sexual nature and the energies it generates by way of our design, amongst everything else. Yoga gives us an opportunity to do this in a safe, gradual and effective way. Provided we are genuinely open to all the depths and subtleties of our being. Provided we undertake our practice as enquiry rather than acquisition. This means that we need to let go of all of our assumptions about sex in general, and its relationship to yoga in particular. Only when we let go of these assumptions, whatever they may be, can we encounter the natural qualities and significance of sexual energy, whatever they may be.
Sex is perhaps the most problematic of all human activities. Along with eating and breathing it is a natural precultural activity deeply embedded in our organic
design. So deeply is it embedded that it is not easy to recognise and express its natural place in the complexity of our modern lives. Especially as, like eating and breathing, it is shaped and determined by cultural experiences, over which we have little or no control. The fact is that we have all been subject to very powerful, and often destructive, cultural forces of sexual conditioning.
Few of us are not suffering the consequences, one way or another. Few of us understand the sexual forces that move within us. Fewer still integrate them into the full spectrum of our lives. Yet sexual energy is the root energy of our lives: touching and shaping everything about us.

To sensitise mind to the wisdom of the body is to simultaneously awaken and develop the deeper capacities and nature of the body. Not only as energy and
consciousness, but also as cell and tissue. As our muscles and bones reintegrate, our organs are revitalised. For this to happen the whole body must be being released from physical, energetic and psychic blocks. Then each organ is able to perform its psychosomatic functions more easily and effectively. This includes our kidneys which are the source and seat of the life force. It also includes our sexual organs themselves where the life force becomes overt and active sexual energy.

Kundalini is the life force. The life force begins as sexual energy, which is the most basic, continual and universal expression of it. Sexual inhibition, compulsion and obsession are nothing other than expressions of blocked
kundalini, however that may have come about. When our sexual conditioning has been unnatural and distorted, as it always is within hierarchical, competitive, patriarchal societies, then the natural expression of the life force becomes blocked. This can manifest in so many ways, most of which are familiar to any psychiatrist. These range from overwhelming sexual obsession to complete sexual shutdown. All of which are expressions of the life force being blocked: not least through unhealthy sexual conditioning. These blocks must be released if the life force is to be able to flow freely and fulfil itself. This recovery of the free flow of the life force is esoterically known as ‘kundalini rising’. This is a completely natural event. Yet it is one that very rarely happens because of our cultural conditioning and its damaging effect on our sexual energy.
Life always seeks to express and fulfil itself as fully and authentically as possible. This is no less true of the human being than a blade of grass, amoeba, tree or pack of wolves. Kundalini rising is the natural course of events. Tantric (Hatha) Yoga systems can be productively seen as nothing other than profound invitations to kundalini rising. This is not done by targeting the kundalini and forcing it to rise. Its nature is to rise, to express itself to enliven and enrich itself through a deepening of human potential. It is done by releasing the blocks life has left in the bodimind.

Kundalini rising , or the integrated release of the life force, can have powerful and remarkable effects on our energy and presence. We become more focussed, more present, more available. This has nothing to do with any intention to be this way. It is a natural result of psychosomatic debris being dissolved. What is left behind animating the bodimind is the uncompromised energy of life itself. No longer caught in old patterns of self assertion the mind is able to focus on actual events and unfolding actions. Grounded in the pragmatic richness of the present, it has no need to speculate about the future or agonise about the past.
Kundalini rising, or life’s recovery of its innate integrity, can have powerful and remarkable effects on our perception. We start to see more clearly. We start to feel more clearly. Our senses awaken, our perceptions clarify, our understanding deepens. We discover that there are more means or organs of perception than allowed by a materialist world view. We find ourselves more and more in harmony with the flow of life as a whole. We spontaneously become more and more intuitive: needing to rely less and less on information and decision making. We find ourselves more often in the right place at the right time. Eventually we discover that we are always in the right place at the right time thinking the right thing, feeling the right thing and doing the right thing.
Awakening to deep pragmatic wisdom is the result of Kundalini rising. It is the fruition of human potential. It is not a special, spiritual event. Yet Kundalini rising is often an uncomfortable, even painful and harmful, experience. This is because it has not been prepared for by cleansing practices such as hatha yoga. The life force is powerful. Sexual energy is powerful. When sexual energy is seen and treated as unhealthy, unspiritual the power of the life force is blocked and compressed. It accumulates within this compression until it breaks out through the unconscious and into compulsive and obsessive behaviour. Even though this behaviour may have nothing overtly to do with sex, and even seem quite harmless, it nevertheless reinforces harmful unconscious drives originating in sexual repression.
Sometimes this break out is painfully dramatic. It takes place as a powerful psychosomatic event. The distorted power of pent up sexual energy bursts through the structures of the mind. The boundaries between our perceptions start to blur, weaken and dissolve. It becomes less possible to tell the difference between a memory, a desire, an intention. The mind becomes lost in a confusion
of impressions it can no longer clearly categorise. It becomes lost in a world where the imagined is no less compelling and powerful than the real. At the same time uncomfortable, even painful, currents of energy can be felt in the body. All of these symptoms, and more, are indications that the life force is ricocheting chaotically against the blocks and restrictions in the bodimind.

Spiritual freedom does not mean becoming lost to our human nature. It does not mean becoming sexually apathetic or repressed. It does not mean never feeling
concern, attachment, intensity or love. It means something much more alive, positive and irresistible than any amount of “thou shalt nots”. Sexual freedom does not mean license, Nor is it represented by the exhibitionist/voyeurist dynamic of contemporary media manipulations. Genuine and lasting freedom does not depend on any special technique, does not have a special uniform. It can only be found and expressed through the lenses of yama and niyama. Within which we encounter the nature and wisdom of our bodimind in all of its depths and subtleties, and find ourselves to be exactly where, who and what we are. Then perhaps we can rediscover the joy and delight that being in a body can provide through intimacy with ourselves, or with another.

Im Tantra gehen wir davon aus, dass der Strom der Lebensenergie, auch „Segensstrom“ genannt, frei, machtvoll und ungehindert durch den Körper fließen kann. In den Momenten, wo äußere Einflüsse, dies verhindern, wird der Strom der Lebensenergie verzerrt und eingefärbt.
Am besten stellen wir uns dies vor, wie ein Fernseh- oder Radioempfänger mit einer Antenne,wo sich Frequenzen überlagern und dadurch Bilder oder Töne übereinander liegen. Die Bilder und Worte, die Botschaft nehmen wir dann nur mit starker Konzentration wahr oder bilden uns eine Botschaft einfach ein. Der Strom der Lebensenergie verzerrt oder verschiebt dadurch unsere Muster bis in die Tiefe unseres Gehirn und damit unserer Entwicklung in der Körper-Seele - Geist- Einheit. Oder um ein anderes Bild zu bemühen: als Kind sind wir wie ein Fluß, der seiner Quelle entspringt: offen, sprudelnd, frei, klar und ungebrochen.
Das Außen, in Gestalt der uns umgebenden Welt, gibt nun unbewusst in diesen Strom immer mehr Dinge hinein.
Fallende Blätter, giftige Flüssigkeiten, Ausscheidungen, Moder und Gerümpel.
Gleich der Selbstreinigungskräfte im Wasser gleicht nun das Kind im Ausdruck verschiedener Emotionen, diesen Strom dem Urzustand wieder an. Sind die Eindrücke und Einflüsse zu stark oder wird die Selbstreinigungskraft des Flusses; des Kindes, gehindert, entstehen Verformungen. Für das Kind sind je nach der Tiefe der Erfahrung, diese Momente von Leid und Schmerz geprägt, so dass Teile des Stroms sich am Uferrand oder in Sumpflandschaften einen Ruheplatz suchen.
Je länger die Sumpflandschaft vor sich hin modert, desto weniger Lebenskraft enthält das Wasser. Der kraftvolle Fluss erfährt eine Abspaltung und verliert wertvolle Teile seines energetischen Gefüges.
Die Quelle in voller Kraft ins Sprudeln kommen zu lassen, bedeutet auch ein Abschiednehmen von alten Gewohnheiten und das Austrocknen der Ego- Sümpfe. In diesem Sinne ist der tantrische Weg ein schneller, aber auch gefährlicher Weg. Ein Stehenbleiben auf dem Weg ist meist nicht mehr möglich.

“Der tibetische Meister Padma Karpo und andere große Lehrer haben gesagt, dass die Beschäftigung mit Tantra wie ein Ritt auf Messers Schneide ist. Wenn wir nur wüssten, wie wir von einem Rasiermesser heruntergleiten können, so würden wir es mit der gleichen Leichtigkeit tun, mit der ein Kind ein Treppengeländer hinunterrutscht. Doch dazu müssen wir die Beschaffenheit der Klinge kennen; wenn wir dies nicht tun und lediglich versuchen uns selbst zu bestätigen, so könnten wir uns in der Mitte aufgeschlitzt wiederfinden.“
