As we walk on this Path, we find that we must make many changes in our lives, some very subtle while others are extremely radical.
One aspect of our lives that needs to be addressed is the proper nourishment of our physical body.
It is indispensable that each person be nourished sufficiently. When nutrition is imperfect, the blood weakens and becomes poor, this being the reason why the cells also weaken. - The Mystery of the Golden Blossom
We must learn to eat and drink not only to feed our body, but our soul as well.
The body is the temple that will lead us to achieve the spiritual goals that we have. The work towards Self-realization requires a great deal of strength physically, emotionally and mentally. Thus, we must obviously care for the vehicle that will allow us to accomplish this work.
Success in Yoga is not for him who eats too much or too little; nor for him who sleeps too much or too little..
To him who is temperate in eating and in sleep and wakefulness, Yoga becomes a destroyer of misery. - Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita VI-16, 18
As aspirants on the path of Gnosis (the pursuit of knowledge of one's Self) we must learn to care for our physical temple. We must clean and prepare the temple for greater things to come. We must take care of our body by keeping it clean, by clothing it and most importantly by properly nourishing it. We must be choosy with what we put into the body. We must learn how to care for ourselves appropriately as we learn how to be true Gnostics.
The Gnostic must be temperate. He must not slander people. He should not be gluttonous or lazy.
As a rule, the Gnostic must retire to the bedroom at 10:00 p.m. daily, in order to practice internal meditation. The Gnostic must rise at dawn in order to practice all of his esoteric exercises.
The Gnostic must be a clean, tidy, decent, honest and upright person. He should always be punctual and happy, never angry with anyone, nor should he be against anyone in any way. The devotee should shower or wash himself daily, and he should dress presentably.
The Gnostic, who never washes himself or is in great disorder, causes damage to humanity in such a way that with his bad taste may drive people away from the Gnostic studies. For example, people may say, "If this is what Gnostics are like, I don't want to enter into these studies. I don't want to degenerate, myself," etc. - The Yellow Book
Ingesting alcohol and drugs is clearly a terribly bad choice for the physical body. As one walks on the path, one must leave behind these bad habits by comprehending the dependence on them and thus eliminating them from within or one will become stagnant.
Some people justify the use of drugs saying that they help them achieve certain visions or conscious astral projection. The abuse of these drugs will not bring you spiritual enlightenment, but rather a false sense of mastery, not to mention dependence on the drug. Dependence in any form, to any drug (legal or illegal) is a detriment to your work on the path. We see many ‘legal' drugs being advertised on television these days. They claim to cure one thing, while infecting your organism with multiple side effects and even causing death. These substances are still drugs. This is one way the Black Lodge works in order to control this humanity, by making them dependant on unnecessary drugs. We must break away from this type of mentality. Our temple will not function properly while full of drugs.
A drug addict turns vice into religion. Being misled, he thinks he experiences what is real under the influence of drugs. Unaware that the extra-perceptions produced by marijuana, L.S.D., morphine, hallucinogenic mushrooms, cocaine, heroin, hashish, tranquilizers in excess, amphetamine, barbiturates, etc., etc., are merely hallucinations produced by the abominable kundabuffer organ (the Tail of Satan). - The Great Rebellion
Clean your temple out thoroughly for God will not reside in a dirty house.
Drugs and alcohol are obviously bad choices for the body, but what isn't so obvious are the food choices we make. There are foods that obviously nourish the body in different ways, some positively while others do it negatively.
Soda, for example is very harmful to the body. Scientific studies have shown how as few as one or two soft drinks a day can increase one's risk for numerous health problems. Some of these health problems are obesity, diabetes, tooth decay, osteoporosis, nutritional deficiencies, heart disease, and many neurological disorders. A common problem that is associated with consumption of a large number of soft drinks is the increased acid levels throughout the body. All soft drinks are very acidic, but dark colas such as Coke and Pepsi are much more acidic. Many doctors believe that there is a correlation between acids increasing the risk of disease.
Instead of drinking soft drinks, we should choose natural juices and water. Water is essential for the proper functioning of the organism.
Another point of great importance is the irrigation of the body: the proper use of water for the organism's benefits. The minimum amount of water required daily is two and a half liters. If water becomes scarce, then certain glands cannot function efficiently; the body does not eliminate all the wastes of the organism properly, the liver does not function well, etc. - The Mystery of the Golden Blossom
Canned food are another example of foods detrimental, even poisonous, to our system. They are full of toxic substances that do not allow our body to absorb the nutritional value within the food. These are spiritually empty foods. In no way do they fortify our spirit; instead they have the opposite effect. It is said that the continuous use of canned foods depletes one of his/her spiritual values. Since these foods are altered by the process in which they are prepared, they cannot feed our soul. They are ‘empty foods.' The solar light that charges all food is no longer within this food. The christic energy can no longer be felt within canned foods.
The filthiest things of all (besides vegetable adulteration) are the famous fruit preserves sealed hermetically within cans that exude poison. North Americans want to preserve all foods in hermetically sealed cans. The outcome of the absurd consumption of canned foods is the famous poliomyelitis (polio). - The Social Transformation of Humanity
One must try to abstain from the use of canned food. The convenience of this type of food is a great inconvenience to your pursuit of inner tranquility and Self-knowledge. Choose your food wisely. Care for your temple.
Fast food is another example of ‘empty food.' The processing, canning and freezing of this food has rendered it nutritionally meaningless for the body. It is like eating cardboard. Once again, this type of food seems very fast and convenient when one lives in the fast-paced world as we do, but here is a lesson that we must learn. We need to take the time to prepare the food that will not only feed our body (or bodies), but our inner self, our soul. On this path, one must develop patience and not expect everything instantaneously. We are a society that demands immediate gratification, thus the development of fast food. Fast food will put you on the ‘fast' track to spiritual emptiness.
Part of the whole fast food trend is white bread and products made from white flour (pasta, pizza, etc.) White bread is made with refined white flour that has been stripped of its fiber and most of its nutrients; it is then re-enriched with synthetic vitamins. This is another type of ‘empty food.' We should choose whole grains (that have not been stripped of essential vitamins) in lieu of refined white flour.
Foods should be used in a balanced manner so as to obtain the best nutrition. Avoid eating white bread. White flour is harmful and does not contain any nourishment. Eat black bread, plantains, corn flour, instead of white bread and white flour. Eat many vegetables, Remember that vegetables are fountains of great nourishment. Vitamins are found in vegetables. - Introduction to Gnosis
Many people believe that to be spiritual you must be a vegetarian. This is not true. In order to work with the three factors: Sacrifice for humanity, birth of your inner bodies and the death of your egos, red meat and seafood are essential in order to feed the body with the proper elements so that one can transmute the sexual energy daily and annihilate the egos.
Samael Aun Weor narrates the following in regards to vegetarianism:
I was a vegetarian fanatic and in the name of the truth I tell you that I became disappointed with that system. Still I remember that time in La Sierra Nevada when I wanted to make a wretched dog become one hundred percent vegetarian. That animal learned; it became accustomed to the vegetarian system, but it died immediately after learning it. Nevertheless, I observed the symptoms of that creature, the weakness that it demonstrated before dying. So, later in time, in the neighboring Republic of El Salvador, one given day when I was returning to my home, the same symptoms appeared in me when I was walking up a long street that tended to be more vertical than horizontal, since it was very steep. I was sweating frightfully and as my weakness increased horribly with each step, I thought that I was going to die. I did not have any alternative than to call my spouse, the Master Litelantes, and to ask her to cook beef for me; she did so, and I ate it. Then the energies returned into my body, and I felt that I returned to life... Since then, I have been disillusioned with the vegetarian system. -
The Common-Cosmic Trogoautoegocrat Law
Every food (that is not ‘empty') has a nutritional value according to the five elements.
"With respect to the organic subject, ether is encountered as being closely related to woman or to sexuality (Maithuna); air to wine (Madya); fire to meat (Mamsa); water to fish (Matsya) and earth to grains (Mudra).
Thus, by the intelligent enjoyment of the five 'M's" (Maithuna, Madya, Mamsa, Matsya, Mudra), that is: woman, wine, meat, fish and grains, we invoke the power (Shakti) of the elements, bringing it to the present within ourselves here and now.
The Pancatattva makes Shakti-Puja possible. In other words, this was the Gnostic Cult to the Divine Mother Kundalini Shakti.
The wonderful sparks of Maha-Kundalini are found within all the properties of Nature's five elements.
We urgently need to turn these sparks into flames within ourselves.
Unquestionably, even when the hidden Inner Divinity is not found within the intellectual animal mistakenly called human being, it consciously extends its innermost energy through the ritual Pancatattwa with the clear purpose of helping the Essence in the process of awakening...
We must know clearly that the five elements are diverse forms of one power and therefore they attempt to attract the life within the Innermost Being in order to unite it with the external life, the immanent with the transcendent, so that the Being recognizes itself in the here and now.
We need to learn to live intensely from instant to instant in the world of the five elements...
What can we say about the Vayu Tattwa, the element of air? What is its relationship with the fruit of the Vine?
Obviously, no drunkard can possibly acquire the marvelous powers of the Vayu Tattwa...
It is clearly evident that pure unfermented wine is used with success in the Ritual of Pancatattwa...
By what method or manner can we acquire the miraculous igneous powers of the Tejas Tattwa if we make the mistake of renouncing the carnivorous element? Unfortunately, the human multitude either becomes radically vegetarian or turns almost cannibalistic.
What can be said about the Apas Tattwa and its formidable powers? It is obvious that the secret which allows us to control storms and walk on water is found in fish. Unfortunately, people either hate seafood or eat too much of it.
How can we conquer the powers of the Prithvi Tattwa, the earth element, if we hate cereals, vegetables and plants or if we misuse them? - The Mystery of the Golden Blossom
Red meat creates fire (Tejas Tattwa), grapes and grape juice rouse the air (Vayu Tattwa), seafood stirs the water (Apas Tattwa), vegetables and whole grains are of the earth (Prithvi Tattwa). All of these elements are necessary for the proper nutritional and spiritual processes to occur within. In order to transmute your sexual energy (Akasa Tattwa -the element of Ether) as a married person or as a single person, on a daily basis, one needs the inner fire and water to be stimulated. Red meat (in moderation) and seafood create the effect within our temple. Too much red meat will make your body feel lazy; at most eat it only 2-3 times a week.
...meat when consumed in large quantities (for example, every day) is like poison for the body. Dr. Arnold Krumm Heller, Professor of Medicine of the University of Berlin and a great Gnostic doctor sustained that man should consume twenty percent of his food as meat. - Introduction to Gnosis
Seafood on the other hand can be eaten more frequently. Learn to listen to what your body is craving for, not what your mind is suggesting.
Chewing our food properly is essential for proper digestion.
One of the best ways of obtaining complete nutrition with our customary food consists in PERFECTLY MASTICATING THE DELICACIES. Food partly ingested loses a great part of its nutritive value.
When drinking wine or eating meat, fish or cereals, the Gnostic Vira pronounces the mantra Krim, intensifying his imagination in such a way that the whole universe seems to overflow with the Blessed Goddess of the World. - The Mystery of the Golden Blossom
The meat of devolving animals should not be eaten because the inferior atoms of these animals only feed the egos that we have within. Pork, for example, comes from a pig, which is a devolving animal and one of the most prevalent food sources in the world. When one eats pork, the ego of lust is strengthened through the devolving atoms of the pig. One must abstain from eating pork in any form. Other examples of devolving animals that are used for food in various parts of the world are monkeys, rats, and most dogs.
In the past, fruits, vegetables and whole grains have always seemed to be a positive choice for the proper nutrition of our body and they were. Unfortunately, in this day and age we must now be wary of which fruits, vegetables and whole grains we choose. Scientists have come up with various ways to genetically alter or graft fruits, vegetables, grains and even animals. They call it genetically modified food (GM). According to the FDA and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), there are over 40 modified plant varieties that have completed all of the federal requirements for commercialization. Some examples of these plants include tomatoes and cantaloupes that have modified ripening characteristics, soybeans and sugar beets that are resistant to herbicides, and corn and cotton plants with increased resistance to insect pests.
What this results in is food that has been tampered with. It is no longer in its ‘natural' state. To genetically alter food, is to change the food. Each food created by nature has specific nutrients and vitamins essential for the physical body. Each food conducts the solar light, the christic force according to its genetic make-up. When scientists alter this genetic structure of the plant or animal, they also alter the way the christic light is harnessed, thus producing foods that are ‘empty.' We will see more and more of these GM foods in the future because science believes they are only improving nature, when in actuality they are creating bigger, unforeseen problems.
Modern scientists are very far from even suspecting that when any plant is grafted it cannot capture the special type of cosmic vibratory waves that are fundamental and necessary for life; therefore, it is logical that within the vital depths of such fruits an adulteration is produced.
- The Social Transformation of Humanity
And lastly, one should exercise the body regularly, not excessively but in moderation. Walking after a meal is highly recommended.
As aspirants of the Path, we need to be aware of all the above issues. It is important to choose what we put into our bodies, but also not to become fanatical. We need to learn to live balanced in an unbalanced society. The path towards Self-realization requires many sacrifices and changes within us.
Proper care and maintenance of our temple is of the utmost importance to achieve the much sought after transformation.
Cultivated Fruit
A chapter from the book, The Social Transformation of Humanity
By Samael Aun Weor
Modern scientists with their foul-wisdom are eliminating the fruits that great nature has provided us with for our nourishment. In this day and age grafted vegetables are fashionable. With their foul-wisdom, North American scientists have made of the fruits a true festivity for the eyes.
One is astonished when ones sees the size of oranges, limes, grapes and apples from California.
There is a saying that states, “All that glitters is not gold.” This is a very wise saying.
These fruits are the products of grafted plants. Already these fruits (with all of their astonishing beauty) contain practically none of what Mother Nature provided them with for the normal existence of all of its creatures.
Modern scientists are very far from even suspecting that when any plant is grafted it cannot capture the special type of cosmic vibratory waves that are fundamental and necessary for life; therefore, it is logical that within the vital depths of such fruits an adulteration is produced.
Naturally, the ignoramuses do not believe in these things, they do not know them; they do not even suspect them. They only see their theories within the fruits, theories that they have inserted in their heads; they only see the chemical substances that they studied within the laboratories, etc…They are incapable of seeing the fruit itself, of seeing what Emmanuel Kant called ‘the thing itself.’
The venerable sages of ancient times knew how to see the thing itself, the fruit in itself, thus they knew the outcome of these famous grafts.
When a tree or any given plant is grafted, it reaches a certain state that the archaic hierophants defined with their science, with the strange and exotic name of Absoizomosa.
It is well known that the plant or tree that is defined in this state with this mysterious and archaic word absorbs from the environment certain cosmic substances that do not nourish and only serve to automatically recover their self-reproductive subjective presence (what is on the surface).
When a tree is found in its original pure state it is clear that it attracts the necessary vital substances from the Protocosmos for the nourishment of all creatures. However, when its original state is adulterated such a tree loses that fundamental capacity.
Fruits which are children of adultery have a beautiful presence but are useless for the nourishment of the human species.
The filthiest things of all (besides the vegetable adulteration) are the famous fruit preserves closed hermetically within cans that exude poison. North Americans want to preserve all foods in hermetically sealed cans.
The outcome of the absurd consumption of canned foods is the famous poliomyelitis.
The gravest thing of all is that North Americans carry their polio to all the countries they visit.
The super-civilized, modern scientists believe that the preservation of comestibles in hermetically sealed cans is a thing of this modern day and age but they are lamentably mistaken. These types of experiments have already been performed in ancient times, but they were abandoned because it was proven that they were useless and dangerous to our health.
An archaic country unknown to present history existed in the Asiatic continent. The name of that country was Maralpleicie. The inhabitants of that Asian country rivaled another contemporary country known as Tikliamish.
The merchants of Maralpleicie preserved and sealed the fruits in what then was known as Sikha Renenians vessels. These types of vessels were made out of finely crushed mother of pearl, the egg yolk of a hen and the tail of the Esturion Choozna Fish.
Such vessels looked like very beautiful jars of glass that have not been finely polished. They were adorned with exotic, marvelously colored oriental forms of great beauty.
After severe analysis, the ancient sages comprehend that malignant beauty existed there.
Their scientific studies allowed them to verify that food stored in such vessels turned into poison for the organism.
Multiple laboratory tests brought these sages to the following conclusion: that food bottled up in such hermetically sealed vessels become toxic.
All the sages of that ancient country discovered (among many other bad things) that the unfortunate consumers of these vessels lost their modesty and became shameless in respect to their organism.
The governments of that time acted with more sense than the vain, modern governments of this tenebrous epoch in which we living in today.
Governments then radically prohibited the use of hermetically sealed vessels for food.
The vessels in these times are worse than the vessels of ancient times. Canned food has brought grave sicknesses to the human species.
It is clear that the poisonous active elements of tin and of other metals which are contained in hermetically sealed vessels cannot escape, cannot evaporate, thus they combine themselves with the canned food. This is what is called the relationship of elements in regards to the number of vibrations.
We are in the times of electronics and in the study of the atom, therefore we have to learn how to think in terms of vibrations and atoms.
When these famous fruit preserves contained in venomous vessels penetrate within our organism it is clear that they damage it, they sicken it.
Grafted vegetables and these famous fruits preserved in cans are causing very grave damage to the human race; what about canned sardines?
This wretched human race marches on the path of complete degeneration.
Governments must study this grave problem of these metal vessels and they must prohibit the grafting of fruits and vegetables.
It is necessary to fight for the health of people. To adulterate the fruits of the earth is an absurdity.
The chemical elements that scientists study are not the only things that exist within the fruit; let us remember that we are in the time of the atom and of electronics.
Let us remember that we are in the epoch of the study of vibrations and radioactivity.
Radioactive vital principles exist within the fruits that are totally fundamental for the health of all creatures.
To adulterate these vital principles is a crime against people.
The Pancatattva Ritual
from The Mystery of the Golden Blossom by Samael Aun Weor
In the midst of the incessant crackle of omnipresent, all-penetrating, all-merciful, cosmic Fohat (power of the Logos), terrifying, indescribable and unspeakable camal temptations naturally arise in the same way as they did for the great Gnostic Patriarch, St. Augustine, who had visions of a delightful, naked woman upon the cross.
Thus it is written with characters of glowing fire in the book of splendors: "Real knowledge and wise identification with all the infinite possibilities of sex, must not mean for the wise a fall into the world of instincts and illusions, rather precisely such familiarization and profound knowledge will lead us to Innermost Self-Realization."
The Initiate who intelligently seeks the extraordinary power of the eternal and creative principle in sexuality passes from domination of the passive to domination of the active in a well understood action that dominates the sexual energies. This knower is obviously in a position to awaken Consciousness through death of the animal Ego.
In everyday life we have been able to verify to the point of satiation that those who put aside the question of sex to live the superior life of the heart, considering everything having to do with eroticism as taboo, will sooner or later suddenly, without warning, experience weariness and despair.
It is clearly evident then that the most deeply submerged Egos surface; those that previously seemed dormant and lifeless, burst into action and all the spiritual joy achieved with such difficulty becomes an infernal apprehension.
That sublime expectation of "Resting in the Divine' then seems suddenly dashed and that which shone as endless harmony is turned into an abyss of vain illusions.
For this reason, those who wish to achieve true liberation must never lull themselves into a false sense of security.
We must learn how to live dangerously from moment to moment, instant to instant.
True, direct, transcendental, mystic knowledge will certainly be impossible as long as one has inner conflicts.
We need to grab the Devil by the horns; it is essential that we capture the fiery torch from Typhon Baphomet, the Male Goat of Mendez.
The esoteric Viparitakarani teaches how, through concentration, the "Yogi slowly raises the semen, in such a way that man and woman can attain Vajroli."
The woman is explicitly designated as a "Saint!" during the carnal act. She must also find herself in the position both to transform the fire of her sexual power and to be able to direct it to superior centers of the body.
By making the semen ascend in the body, that is to say, by making it flow inward and upward instead of spilling it, by reverting the drops which the ignorant and profane send to the woman's uterus, we activate the ethereal flame of the semen, we activate the Igneous Serpent of our magical powers through which we can and must reduce the animal Ego to dust.
In the Anangaranga of Kayanamalla we have found the following Tantric Asana.
UTTANA - DANDA
The man kneels and bends over the woman who is lying on her back. There are ten generally preferred varieties of this posture.
a. The man positions the prone woman's legs over his shoulders and joins with her as he leans toward her.
b. With the woman lying on her back the man places himself between her legs, raising them until they touch his chest, and unites with her.
c. The woman extends one leg on the carpet or bed and places the other one on the man's head; this position especially stimulates erotic sensations.
d. The Kama-Rad position: The man situates himself between the woman's legs and stretches her arms out as far as possible with his hands.
e. During the sexual act, the woman raises both legs up to the man's chest with him between her thighs. This is one of the postures preferred by connoisseurs in the art of loving.
f. The man kneels before the woman who is stretched out on her back, he then puts his hands under her back and lifts her towards him in such a way that she can, in turn, draw him towards her with her arms entwined around his neck.
g. The man places himself between the woman's hips and the base of her head so that her body is raised forming an arch. He kneels on a cushion, and the act is performed in this most appreciated position in which both participants experience the greatest enjoyment.
h. While lying on her back, the woman crosses her legs and lifts her feet slightly. This posture vividly rouses love's fire.
i. Lying down on the bed or carpet the woman places one leg on her companion's shoulder, keeping the other outstretched.
j. With the woman lying on her back, the man introduces his penis and then lifts the woman's legs laying them on his shoulders closely hugging her hips.
As stated in the Viparitakarani:
This practice is the most excellent one, the cause of liberation for the Yogi; this practice brings health to a Yogi and grants him perfection.
The Vira-Sadhaka or Heruka considers the Universe itself as the place of liberation. He knows how to live wisely, with his sights set on infinite truth. He is above suspicion and reproach. By the evidence of 'Saham' (I am the power, without a doubt penetrated by that power) he is free from all ties to Samsara, master of his senses, proceeding to the Pancatattwa Ritual.
The word Pancatattwa designates the five elements: ether, air, fire, water and earth. They are considered to be the diverse principles of the manifestation of Shakti (Kundalini). Cosmic power is contained within the five of them and the Vira-Sadhaka carries out the task of resurrecting the primary nature of those elements as an "act of power" so as to advance towards the first-born of creation, Shiva Himself.
By all means it stands out with complete meridian clarity the intrinsic necessity for a gradual ascension toward the transcendental origins of universal life.
Such an ascension is going to have as its base the organic nature of the Pentad.
With respect to the organic subject, ether is encountered as being closely related to woman or to sexuality (Maithuna); air to wine (Madya); fire to meat (Mamsa); water to fish (Matsya) and earth to grains (Mudra).
Thus, by the intelligent enjoyment of the five 'M's" (Maithuna, Madya, Mamsa, Matsya, Mudra), that is: woman, wine, meat, fish and grains, we invoke the power (Shakti) of the elements, bringing it to the present within ourselves here and now.
The Pancatattwa makes Shakti-Puja possible. In other words, this was the Gnostic Cult to the Divine Mother Kundalini Shakti.
The wonderful sparks of Maha-Kundalini are found within all the properties of Nature's five elements.
We urgently need to turn these sparks into flames within ourselves.
Unquestionably, even when the hidden Inner Divinity is not found within the intellectual animal mistakenly called human being, it consciously extends its innermost energy through the ritual Pancatattwa with the clear purpose of helping the Essence in the process of awakening...
We must know clearly that the five elements are diverse forms of one power and therefore they attempt to attract the life within the Innermost Being in order to unite it with the external life, the immanent with the transcendent, so that the Being recognizes itself in the here and now.
We need to learn to live intensely from instant to instant in the world of the five elements.
Karma-Yoga, the path of the straight line, has its foundations in the Law of the Scale.
How can we exercise power with supreme mastery over the Akashic Tattwa without Sahaja Maithuna (Sexual Magic)!
According to Indian tradition, Ramakrishna had Saradelevi sit on the throne of the Divine Mother within the temple and, at the same time, began to sing the hymn to Devi Kundalini with the ancestral ritual ceremony which culminated in the famous Shorashi Puja, the adoration of woman. He and She achieved Samadhi during the Maithuna... In this way one reaches the point of exercising all power over the Akasic Tattwa.
It is written with words of fire in the book of splendors that the power of the Solar Logos is not found in the brain, the heart, or in any other organ of the body, rather exclusively in the sexual organs, the phallus and the uterus.
In no way whatsoever would we be able to develop the Akasic powers in our innermost constitution if we made the mistake of fornicating, committing adultery or hating sex.
All sin will be forgiven except the sin against the Holy Spirit...(Sex)
Once, upon finding myself outside of the physical body, I asked my Divine Mother Kundalini the following question: Is it possible for anyone in the physical world to achieve Self-Realization without Sexual Magic?
The response was both terrible and shocking. "Impossible my son, that is simply impossible." I was deeply impressed and moved in the innermost depths of my soul...
What can we say about the Vayu Tattwa, the element of air? What is its relationship with the fruit of the Vine?
Obviously, no drunkard can possibly acquire the marvelous powers of the Vayu Tattwa...
It is clearly evident that pure unfermented wine is used with success in the Ritual of Pancatattwa...
By what method or manner can we acquire the miraculous igneous powers of the Tejas Tattwa if we make the mistake of renouncing the carnivorous element? Unfortunately, the human multitude either becomes radically vegetarian or turns almost cannibalistic.
What can be said about the Apas Tattwa and its formidable powers? It is obvious that the secret which allows us to control storms and walk on water is found in fish. Unfortunately, people either hate seafood or eat too much of it.
How can we conquer the powers of the Phrithvi Tattwa, the earth element, if we hate cereals, vegetables and plants or if we misuse them?
From the aforementioned, it follows that all the elements, of the earth as well as the flesh, are in essence absolutely pure. When the Vira enjoys pleasure without the slightest hint of a personal nature, the primitive cause of the cosmos, the world of phenomena, the world of Maya is revealed in sex.
The Tattwic currents, which are encountered in the cosmos in harmony with structural forces that produce the Evolution and Devolution of the universe, are manifested as a boundary of creation and the first-born of Nature in such a way that it raises an immense potency and transforms the will-power of Vira who proceeds to blaze on the live coals of Maha-Kundalini.
The sage Waldemar wrote in one of his books:
'Prana, the sixth fundamental force, not only has an effect on man, but is the vital principle of every being existing in the universe.
'Prana is that which is called the breath of God and which provokes vital manifestations in organisms. Through the enjoyment of the five elements of the Pancatattwa Ritual, the powers become activated, so to speak, in order to ignite in the sixth principle, in the constitution of beings, that is to say in the Lingam-Sarira, the etheric body.
"If we pay attention as we must to the true nature of the will awakened by this scintillation, in order to capture it with an alert consciousness, not only with the imagination but within our entire innermost Being, rapture of a transcendental order is then realized."
Unquestionably, the sparkle of the wine, the woman, the meat, etc., after having spun the chakras of the vital body, come to activate the superior forces of the Soul: Atman-Buddhi-Manas.
"In order to transcend the dark mass of Tamas (latent power) in its chaotic and inert state, special moments of ecstatic emotion must be provoked. The individual goes 'outside himself' to a certain extent, and here the resources of wine and the sexual act play a decisive role."
This "going outside oneself," when understood correctly, is an entering into the force of the elements.
Tattwic currents encountered in the cosmos are obviously subordinate to Shakti, to the power.
Once the power of the five elements is registered in the living depths of the soul, it is clear that we become masters of the Tattwas. Then if we so desire, we can immortalize the physical body, to pass through fire without getting burned, walk on water, calm or unleash storms, float in the air, unleash hurricanes, pass through any rock or mountain from one side to another without being harmed in the least, pronounce words which paralyze or charm venomous snakes, etc.
Om! Obedient to the Goddess, who resembles a marvelously adorned serpent sleeping in the Swayanbbulingam, she enjoys the beloved and other delights. It is captivated by the wine and radiates like a million rays. She will be awakened by air and fire, by the mantras Yam and Dram and by the mantra Hum [during Sexual Magic].
Great imagination must be employed in the pronunciation of the mantra Krim. One must breathe energy into it and transform it into a magic force.
This Mantra is not only used in Sexual Magic. It is evident that it forms a living part of the whole Pancatattwa Ritual.
When drinking wine or eating meat, fish or cereals, the Gnostic Vira pronounces the mantra Krim, intensifying his imagination in such a way that the whole universe seems to overflow with the Blessed Goddess of the World.
Editor: Master Samael clarifies elsewhere that the “wine” used in White Tantra is always unfermented; in other words, grape juice.
