The sexual cycle is governed by the planet Uranus and lasts for eighty-four years. The north and south poles of Uranus take turns pointing towards the sun. These poles are the determining factors in the eighty-four year cycle of the human species.
If the positive or masculine pole of Uranus points towards the sun, the masculine sexual impulse predominates on the earth. If the negative or feminine pole points towards the sun, then the feminine sexual impulse predominates. The masculine sex predominates for forty-two years; the feminine sex reigns supreme for forty-two years.
The time of piracy, of Isabel, of masculine unfolding, of knightly adventures: these clearly represent the masculine sexual cycle. This year, 1965, in which women undress, predominate, order, and accuse, shows clearly the feminine sexual cycle.
The mature man or woman lives in the opposite sexual atmosphere from that in which they were born, a situation, which is totally stimulating. This explains why sexual feelings are often richer and more vigorous at forty than at thirty.
Sex itself should be the most elevated and creative function. Unfortunately, ignorance reigns supreme, and humanity is very far from understanding the great mysteries of sex.
If we study the book of the heavens, the marvelous zodiac, we will understand that the zodiacal sign of Aquarius governs the new Age of Aquarius. The symbol of Aquarius is the water carrier, a woman trying to intelligently mix the waters in the two buckets she carries. This symbol reminds us of sexual alchemy.
In Pisces, people were mere slaves to their sexual instincts, symbolized by two fish in the waters of life; however, in Aquarius, people must learn to intelligently combine the waters of existence and to transmute the sexual forces.
Uranus, the planet, which also governs the sexual functions, governs Aquarius. It seems incongruous and absurd that some isolated individuals and certain pseudo-esoteric schools reject the Maithuna (Sexual Magic), but nevertheless, have pretensions about initiating the New Age.
Uranus is one hundred percent sexual, and in the new era governed by this planet, human beings should know, in depth, the mysteries of sex. Rejecting the Maithuna (Sexual Magic) means, in fact, pronouncing oneself against the sign of Aquarius, governed by Uranus, King of Sex.
We should remember that the most subtle, powerful, and pure energy produced and conducted marvelously throughout the human organism, is sexual energy. Through a deep analysis of the surprising power of sexual energy, we arrive at the conclusion that it is extraordinarily volatile and difficult to store and control. Sexual energy is like a supply of dynamite, whose presence is a source of tremendous potential and danger that can explode catastrophically at any time.
Sexual energy has its own circulatory channels and has its own organized electrical system. When sexual energy infiltrates into the mechanisms of other functions, it can produce huge explosions and tremendous biological, physiological, and psychic catastrophes.
Violent and destructive manifestations of sexual energy stem from certain negative psychological attitudes towards sex in general. Suspicion, fear of sex, sexual prejudices, cynical, brutal, or obscene feelings towards sex: these all obstruct the channels in which sexual energy circulates. As a result, the energy deviates, infiltrating other channels, systems, and functions, where it produces horrible catastrophes.
Such catastrophes are multifaceted. At times, it has fiery aspects, which inflame people with passionate anger; at other times, it is bitter with hurtful replies, harmful words, violent denunciations, etc. These and thousands of other disgusting matters of the human species are the result of the infiltration of sexual energy into various inappropriate channels and functions.
People who waste their sexual energy in unwholesome sexual conversation, in watching pornographic movies, or in reading obscene books, become impotent. People who spend their time intellectualizing unhappily about the sexual act without actually completing it become impotent. When the opportunity to perform the act presents itself, far away from the intellectual field, these people can’t act; they fail.
Imagination and intellect, wrongly used, can lead to psycho-sexual impotence. Morbid use of imagination, which is a wrong use of imagination, exhausts the sexual energy so that when the individual wants to consummate the act, he fails; he is impotent.
Excessive intellectualizing about sex also leads to impotence. Those who only analyze the sexual act without performing it will be tremendously surprised when they finally try to do it in reality; they will find they are impotent.
On arriving at this section of our present chapter, our readers should not be frightened. It is urgent for us to study the sexual mysteries, but the abuse stemming from excessive rationalizing about sex, while excluding the sexual act for a very long and indefinite period, produces psycho-sexual impotence.
Sub imagination and infra-imagination exist. Any person can, if this is desired, contemplate another person of the opposite sex with purity, but sub imagination and infra-imagination can betray us in the sub merged levels of the mind, leading us into coitus in other states of consciousness. Usually, nocturnal pollution result, with abundant loss of seminal liquid.
We constantly receive many letters at the Patriarchal Headquarters of the Gnostic Movement here in Mexico from people complaining of having erotic dreams accompanied by nocturnal pollution. We reply by suggesting the Maithuna, Sexual Magic, A.Z.F. (sexual union without ejaculation of semen) as the only remedy for nocturnal pollution.
Clearly, daily practice of the Maithuna will accustom the human being to restraining himself in the sexual act in order to avoid spilling the semen. As he becomes accustomed to the super effort this requires, he will, when performing the act in dreams, restrain himself, from instinct, in order to avoid ejaculation; no pollution occurs.
Sex and imagination are intimately associated. It is impossible to achieve absolute chastity if we do not transform our imagination into a pure mirror without the smallest spot.
We must transform our mechanical and morbid sub imagination and our automatic and lustful infra-imagination into the imagination of a newborn child. This kind of transformation is possible only with a special type of help, which comes from our Divine Mother Kundalini, the igneous serpent of our magical powers.
It is necessary to know how to pray to the Divine Serpent, asking Her, begging Her, to perform the miracle of transforming the subjective and mechanical imagination into that of a newborn baby. Only the Divine Mother, the Sacred Serpent, can transform the morbid sub-imagination and the bestial infra-imagination into the innocent imagination of a newborn baby.
A small child can contemplate a beautiful nude woman in a pure and perfect way without feeling any lust. Indeed, unless one is as innocent as a child, it is impossible to enter the kingdom of esotericism.
In the physical world, some people attain perfect chastity and have the luxury of contemplating the nude body of a person of the opposite sex without feeling any lust. It is obvious that these exceptional people believe they have arrived at absolute chastity in the subconscious territories of the mind, not even remotely suspecting that both their sub imagination and subjective mechanical infra-imagination betray them below the limits of the intellectual sphere.
These people may have a pure imagination, but ignore the fact that in regions, unknown to their intellect, in their sub imagination and infra-imagination, they can be terrible fornicators. When this type of person undergoes a test of chastity in the superior worlds or in the submerged worlds of nature or when they are placed in the different states, situations, or time of the infra-conscious or subconscious, they fail lamentably.
Many people write us asking for a remedy for nocturnal pollution. We always answer these sick people with the recipe of Sexual Magic, the Maithuna. Those who customarily restrain themselves in the sexual act to avoid ejaculating the seminal liquor cure themselves of nocturnal pollution.
Morbid and lustful dreams are produced by the mechanical sub- imagination and the erotic, automatic infra-imagination.
If we turn on the television, automatically a succession of scenes and figures pass before our eyes. The imagination is like a television screen, which is triggered by any sexual shock, not only in the intellectual sphere, but in the deeper levels of the mind as well.
Any dreamer can be affected in the internal worlds by morbid representations. Those representations produce erotic dreams and nocturnal pollution. If the dreamer customarily restrains himself in the sexual act, he will have erotic dreams, but not nocturnal pollution. If the dreamer has transformed his sub imagination and infra- imagination into that of an innocent child, erotic dreams are impossible they totally disappear.
If any esoteric student is subjected to terrible sexual tests in the internal worlds, without having first passed through long periods of daily Sexual Magic, he will fail lamentably, losing his seminal liquid in nocturnal pollution. Without Sexual Magic, without the Maithuna, Arcanum A.Z.F., it is impossible to advance on the initiatic path.
When sexual energy is centrifugal, when it flows outwards, seminal discharges and nocturnal pollution are the result. With the Arcanum A.Z.E or Sexual Magic, the various currents of sexual energy reverse their course, become centripetal, and flow inwards. Seminal discharges and nocturnal pollution are impossible when the sexual energy flows from the exterior to the interior.
Sexual energy has, in itself, on a superior molecular level, the universal seal or cosmic design of the True Man [or Woman]. We can crystallize this design in each of us by means of Sexual Magic. Whoever wants to self-realize must descend to the Ninth Sphere, the origin of worlds, beasts, men, and gods and work with fire and water. All authentic white initiation begins there.
There is a close relationship between sexual energy and imagination. Sexual energy is the primary foundation of inner self-realization. Initiates who walk the path of the razor’s edge are subjected to many sexual tests in the infra-conscious, unconscious, human, subhuman, and infra-human worlds. If the initiate does not transform his morbid sub- imagination and mechanical erotic infra-imagination into the imagination of an innocent, newborn child, he will inevitably fail all the sexual trials.
We need to know that initiates are placed, in the internal worlds, in other times, places, situations, and various subhuman or infra-human states of consciousness, where they don’t even remember their studies, the path, etc. Now our readers will understand the urgent necessity of transforming their sub imagination and infra-imagination into conscious imagination, as objective and pure as that of a newborn child. Now our readers will understand the intimate relation that exists between sex and imagination. Sexual energy can transform a man into an angel or a beast.
In the western world there are many people who passionately hate Sexual Magic. Those
people justify their absurd hate in many ways. They say the Maithuna is “probably” only for Orientals and we westerners aren’t ready for it. Such people affirm that this teaching of sexual yoga will have as its only result a crop of black magicians.
What is very interesting about all this is that those same reactionary, conservative, regressive, and backward-looking people don’t say a word against fornication, adultery, prostitution, homosexuality, pederasty, masturbation, etc. All these activities seem normal to them, and they ignore the tragic waste of their sexual energy.
The ignorant fornicators of reactionary pseudo occultism totally ignore the secret doctrine of the Savior of the World Christian Esotericism.
This pseudo-esoteric and pseudo-occult reaction ignores the fact that the early Christian Gnostic sects practiced the Maithuna, Sexual Magic. This was taught in all ancient schools of western mysteries.
The Maithuna was known as part of the mysteries of the Templars, Aztecs, Mayans, Incas, Chibchas, Zapotecs, Araucanians, and the Toltecs. It was also one of the Eleusinian and Mithraic mysteries. It was among the mysteries of Rome, Carthage, and Tyre. It was part of the mysteries of the Celts, Phoenicians, Egyptians, Druids, and all early Christian sects. One of the latter was the Essene sect, whose convent was on the shores of the Dead Sea and which had as one of its most exalted members the Divine Rabbi of Galilee.
The Maithuna, Sexual Magic, is universal. It is part of the mysteries of North and South,
East and West, but reactionary, regressive, and fornicating pseudo occultists violently reject it.
The fundamental stone of authentic and legitimate mystery schools is the Maithuna, the Arcanum A.Z.E, Sexual Magic.
