Alchemy_of_Fire > Sexual Alchemy
by (6343 reads) | Sexual power and mental power are different results of the same energy. The difference is given by its use. To concentrate the strength on a particular function (activity of sex or thought) means to reduce the action of the other. For this reason the process of transformation is based on the arrangement of the strengths, where balance is very important. We know methods for strengthening sexual or mental activities and we can resume them in the sentence: “transfers of energy”. The ability to move energy is the heart of the system; once this is clear, everything comes as a consequence.

The precision of the Prayer is very important for the purpose of the Great Inner Work; every quietist doctrine is an error of method. The Inner Way of the Incognito Philosopher appears to be quietist only in its general aspects, never in its practical and operating applications.

In the Hebrew Cabbala it is said that the Tree of Life corresponds, in the manifested world, to a Small Tree of Life called “Kallah”, the Bride.

Identifications develop around states of conscience which, once reached, must not be considered as the goal but rather the starting point for growth. The result of a growth shouldn’t be considered as fully satisfying, but a push to grow even more.
