The truth must be comprehended by means of an instantaneous illumination. However, the factual thing, the complete Inner Self-Realization of the Being must be intensely worked in a gradual manner.
The Mantra ‘WU’ mainly refers to the awakening of the mystical experience in its immediate sense, and the Samyasam Boddhi (Chueh in China) denotes a permanent and complete illumination.
If by means of a retrospective exercise we return to the original point of departure and we theoretically return our bones to our father and our flesh to our mother, then, where would we be? Obviously, we will be in the seed, in the semen…
This induces us to think that without the Sahaja Maithuna we could never comprehend the essence of the sentence of the famous Hua Tou ‘WU’…
Observe the verticals of the ‘W’, study it in its whole. The graphical shape of its combinations clearly emphasizes the basic idea of successive exaltations preceded always by tremendous humiliations.
Whosoever wants to ascend must first descend, this is the Law. Initiation is both death and matrimony at the same time.
For greater comprehension of the Hua Tou ‘WU’ it is not irrelevant to repeat the following: ‘The descent into the Ninth Sphere (sex) was from ancient times the maximum ordeal for the supreme dignity of the Hierophant. Jesus, Buddha, Hermes, Dante, Zoroaster, etc., had to pass through this difficult ordeal.
Mars descends into the Ninth Sphere in order to retemper his sword and conquer the heart of Venus. Hercules does so in like manner, in order to clean the stables of Augias and Perseus, as well as to cut off the head of Medusa with his flaming sword.
However, for the good of the great cause, it is important to remember that in Zen, next to the ‘W’, the radical ‘U’ shines, which is a living symbol of that great womb within which the worlds are gestated.
In cosmic grammar, the ‘Rune UR’ is certainly the Divine Mother-Space, the sacred womb where beasts, humans and Gods are gestated. It is unquestionable that without the esoteric power of Devi Kundalini, to work in the Flaming Forge of Vulcan (sex) would be impossible.
The Magisterium of Fire must be performed in seven days or periods. Let us remember our astrological formula: Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn. The starry
heaven of Uranus and the classic Empyrean are for those who have reached the longed for goal.
I earned the right to enter into the Lunar heaven after a previous humiliation. This is the law for all worlds. No one can definitely enter into the heavens of Mercury, Venus, etc., without previously having esoterically worked in their corresponding planetary infernos.
The ‘WU’ experiences are one and many. They are one, because they are identical in essence, and they are many because they differ in profundity, clarity and efficacy. This provides a notion of the sense and nature of ‘WU’.
“What is your original face?” A tremendous question of Master Meng Shan! The Hebraic Bible states:
“Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” Genesis: 2:24.
Let the Gods of the Dawn utter! Let the muses inspire me! Let the hurricane howl!
It is written with fiery embers in the book of all mysteries that all the Avatars of lshvara always present the requirement of the Omnimerciful Universal Spirit of Life, in order to restore upon the face of the earth ‘the original face’, the paradisiacal pristine state of Adam-Kadmon, the androgynous entity who incarnates the pair, man- and-woman.
This precious reestablishment of the cosmic Being within each one of us, is precisely performed in the delightful instants of that supreme ecstasy of love in which two beings, one masculine, the other feminine, in complete coitus, consciously cede their differential individuality in order to fuse themselves into one.
Therefore, since this unity is not only physical, but also a Psychic-Spiritual type, the doctrines that reject the Sexual Magic of Eros are anti- human and anti-divine.
The recognition of the human being as the image and likeness of the living cosmos and thereby the cosmic purpose of his sexual potency is found in the cultural- spiritual environment of the present era, and mainly in the most refined esoteric circles.
Medieval theologians and naturalists knew something about the connection between the sexual energy and the prodigious forces that traversed the inalterable infinite…
Thus, Saint Albert Magno was imbibed in the profound belief about the power of the stars, which exerts a decisive influence upon the sexual potency of the individual.
Saint Albert believed that the stars were bipolar, in other words of an Angelic and animal nature. He arrived at the logical conclusion that a double union, spiritual and animal, can occur in the matrimony.
St. Augustine, the Gnostic Patriarch, emphasizes the idea that the sexual libido encompasses not only the entire body, but also the inner Being, which in the carnal agitation is linked with the psychic, in such a manner that a pleasurable sensation is formed that has no equal among sensual sensations. Thus, in the instant in which it reaches its culminating point, all consciousness and all energy of understanding is disconnected.
This disconnection between consciousness and intellect is precisely the one that can transfigure the delightful coitus into something supernatural, spiritual and terribly divine.
The ultimate goal of mystical practices, like that of Zen or that of Christian quietism of Fray Miguel de Molinos, is tha t they can lead us to the stillness and silence of the mind,
The new arrives only when the mind is still, when the mind is in silence.
In those moments of indescribable delights, the consciousness escapes from within the mortifying mind in order to experience the reality.
The second Zen Patriarch asked to the Bodhidharma:
“How is it possible to attain the Tao?”
The Bodhidharma answered:
Externally, all activity ceases; internally, the mind ceases to be agitated. When the mind has become a wall, you can then enter the Tao.
Ch’an Buddhists in China rarely speak about Sambodhi, the Final Illumination (the famous Chueh).
Since ‘WU’ is the fundamental and mystical experience of awakening to the truth (Prajna), the person who attains the ‘WU’ experience might not be capable of dominating, deepening and maturing it.
Before reaching perfection, a lot of work in the ‘Ninth Sphere’ is needed. This is with the purpose of removing the dualistic, egotistical and profoundly rooted thoughts which surge forth from within the passions.
The gospel of the Tao has stated:
Purify your heart, cleanse your thoughts, stop your appetites and conserve the semen.

The author of the EL-KTAB, a marvelous book appreciated by the Arabs, does not become tired of glorifying the coitus. With just reason, the coitus is for him the most magnificent and sacred hymn of praise, the most noble aspiration of the man and his companion the woman, behind the primeval union and the paradisiacal delights.
Love is the Fiat Lux of the book of Moses, the Divine Command, the law for all continents, seas, worlds and spaces.
When we courageously grasp that Lance of Eros with the evident purpose of reducing into dust all and every one of those subjective elements that we carry within, then, light surges forth. Imprisoned essence, light in a potential state exists within every subconscious entity.
Thus, in the same manner that the atom liberates energy when it is fractionated, likewise, the total destruction of any of our internal elements liberates light.
We need to make light within each one of us. “Light, more light” exclaimed Goethe, when dying.
Sexual magic is the eternal foundation of the luminous and spermatic Fiat of the first instant.
The radical death of the Ego and other inhuman elements that we carry within ourselves leads us to the Final Illumination (Samyasam Bodhi).
Therefore, the Zen or WU’ illumination varies greatly, from the superficial glimpse of the beginners over their mental essence, until the total Buddhism, as was performed by Buddha.
