1 “But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.

2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,

3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,

4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God

5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.

6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires,

7 always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth.                                                                  

8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth--men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected.

9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.”

Therefore, I say:

Know your enemy and know yourself;

in a hundred battles, you will never be defeated.

When you are ignorant of the enemy but know yourself,

your chances of winning or losing are equal.

If ignorant both of your enemy and of yourself,

you are sure to be defeated in every battle.

-- Sun Tzu, The Art of War, c. 500bc

 

There are two ends not to be served by a wanderer. What are these two? The pursuit of desires and of the pleasure which springs from desire, which is base, common, leading to rebirth, ignoble, and unprofitable; and the pursuit of pain and hardship, which is grievous, ignoble, and unprofitable.

- The Blessed One, Lord Buddha

THE SHADOW OF THE DALAI LAMA

 

Sexuality, Magic, and Politics in Tibetan Buddhism

 

BUDDHISM DEBATE

 

With her book, Traveller in Space: In Search of Female Identity in Tibetan Buddhism, the Scottish philosopher of religion, June Campbell, opened the floodgates for an honest and sound debate about Tantric Buddhism. She worked as a translator for Tibetan lamas, including Kalu Rinpoche, whose "secret sexual consort" she became. Here we reproduce an article about her from the Independent.

 

The Independent - 10. February 1999 - Paul Vallely

 

I was a Tantric sex slave

 

For years June Campbell was the`consort`of a senior Tibetan Buddhist monk. She was threatened with death if she broke her vow of secrecy. But then enlightenment can be like that.

 

Feet of clay? No, it was a different part of the anatomy - and of all too fleshly substance - which caused the trouble. But, I suppose, you don`t expect Tantric sex to be a straightforward activity. Then again, sex of any kind isn`t really what you`re planning when you become a celibate nun.

 

It was, said June Campbell as she began her lecture, only the second time she had been asked to give a talk to a Buddhist group in this country since her book. Traveller in Space came out three years ago. Small wonder. The topic of her talk was "Dissent in Spiritual Communities", and you don`t get much more potent types of dissent than hers. For she not only revealed that she had for years been the secret sexual consort of one of the most holy monks in Tibetan Buddhism - the tulku (re-incarnated lama), Kalu Rinpoche. She also insisted that the abuse of power at the heart of the relationship exposed a flaw at the very heart of Tibetan Buddhism.

 

This was heresy , indeed. To outsiders, the Rinpoche was one of the most revered yogi-lamas in exile outside Tibet. As abbot of his own monastery, he had taken vows of celibacy and was celebrated for having spent 14 years in solitary retreat. Among his students were the highest ranking lamas in Tibet. "His own status, was unquestioned in the Tibetan community", said Ms. Campbell, "and his holiness attested to by all".

 

The inner circles of the world of Tibetan Buddhism - for all ist spread in fashionable circles in the West - is a closed and tight one. Her claims, though made in a restrained way in the context of a deeply academic book subtitled - "In Search of Female Identity in Tibetan Buddhism" - provoked what she described as a primitive outpouring of rage and fury. "I was reviled as a liar or a demon", she said during a public lecture last week at the nonsectarian College for Buddhist Studies in Sharpham, Devon. "In that world he was a saintly figure. It was like claiming that Mother Teresa was involved in making porn movies".

 

But it was not fear of the response which made her wait a full 18 years before publishing her revelations in a volume entitled Traveller in Space - a translation of dakini, the rather poetic Tibetan word for a woman used by a lama for sex. It took her that long to get over the trauma of the experience. "I spent 11 years without talking about it and then, when I had decided to write about it, another seven years researching. I wanted to weave together my personal experience with a more theoretical understanding of the role of women in Tibetan society to help me make sense of what had happened to me."

 

What happened was that , having become a Buddhist in her native Scotland in the hippie Sixties, she travelled to India where she became a nun. She spent 10 years in a Tibetan monastery and penetrated more deeply than any other Westerner into the faith`s esoteric hierarchy. Eventually she became personal translator to the guru as, during the Seventies, he travelled through Europe and America. It was after that, she said, that "he requested that I become his sexual consort and take part in secret activities with him".

 

Only one other person knew of the relationship - a second monk - with whom she took part in what she described as a polyandrous Tibetanstyle relationship. "It was some years before I realised that the extent to which I had been taken advantage of constituted a kind of abuse".

 

The practice of Tantric sex is more ancient than Buddhism. The idea goes back to the ancient Hindus who believed that the retention of semen during intercourse increased sexual pleasure and made men live longer. The Tibetan Buddhists developed the belief that enlightenment could be accelerated by the decision "to enlist the passions in one`s religious practice, rather than to avoid them". The stategy is considered extremely risky yet so efficacious that it could lead to enligthenment in one lifetime.

 

Monks of a lower status confined themselves to visualising an imaginary sexual relationship during meditation. But, her book sets out, the "masters" reach a point where they decide that they can engage in sex without being tainted by it. The instructions in the so-called "secret" texts spell out the methods which enable the man to control the flow of semen through yogic breath control and other practices. The idea is to "drive the semen upwards, along the spine, and into the head". The more semen in a man`s head, the stronger intellectually and spiritually he is thought to be.

 

"The reverse of ordinary sex expresses the relative status of the male and female within the ritual."

 

More than that, he is said to gain additional strength from absorbing the woman`s sexual fluids at the same time as withholding his own. This "reverse of ordinary sex", said June Campbell, "expresses the relative status of the male and female within the ritual, for it signals the power flowing from the woman to the man".

 

The imbalance is underscored by the insistence by such guru-lamas that their sexual consorts must remain secret, allowing the lamas to maintain control over the women. "Since the book was published, I`ve had letters from women all over the world with similar and worse experiences".

 

So why did she stay for almost three years? "Personal prestige. The women believe that they too are special and holy. They are entering sacred space. It produces good karma for future lives, an is a test of faith". The combination of religion, sex, power and secrecy can have a potent effect. It creates the Catch 22 of psychological blackmail set out in the words of another lama, Beru Kyhentze Rinpoche: "If your guru acts in a seemingly unenlightened manner and you feel it would be hypocritical to think him a Buddha, you should remember that your own opinions are unreliable and the apparent faults you see may only be a reflection of your own deluded state of mind...If your guru acted in a completely perfect manner he would be inaccessible and you would be able to relate to him. It is therefore out of your Guru`s great compassion that he may show apparent flaws... He ist mirroring your own faults".

 

The psychological pressure ist often increased by making the woman swear vows of secrecy. In addition June Campbell was told that "madness, trouble or even death" could follow if she did not keep silent. "I was told that in a previous life the lama I was involved with had had a mistress who caused him some trouble, and in order to get rid of her he cast a spell which caused her illness later resulting in her death.

 

There are those Buddhists, like Martine Batchelor - who spent 10 years as a Zen Buddhist nun in a Korean monastery and who now teaches at Scharpham College - who insist the religious techniques the Buddha taught can be separated from the sexist, patriarchal and oppressive culture of many Buddhist countries. But June Campbell is not convinced. "You have to ask what is the relationship between belief and how a society structures itself," she said. In Tibetanism, power lies in the hands of men who had often been traumatised by being removed from their mother at the age of two and taken to an all male monastery. "Some were allowed visits from their mothers and sisters but always in secrecy - so that they came to associate women with what must be hidden".

 

But there is more to it, she believes than that. Teaching at Sharpham last week she gave the students a whole range of material about different kind of feminism - from the political to the psychotherapeutic. She then asked them how it relates to the fact that there are no female Buddha images or to why in Tantric sex images the woman always has her back to the viewer, or to why Buddhist women are told to pray that they will be reborn into a male body in their next life -for only in a man`s body can they attain full enlightenment.

 

"Once I started unravelling my experiences, I began to question everything," she said. That meant not just the actions of a particular guru But the very idea of the guru. She began to wonder whether the Tantra was just a fantasy, and whether there is really any difference between Tantric sex and ordinary sex. She questioned the very concept of enlightenment itself and the practice of meditiation. "I realised that in order to be myself I had to leave it all - completely an utterly."

She questioned the very concept of enlightenment itself and the practice of meditiation. "I realised that in order to be myself I had to leave it all - completely an utterly."

 

To ponder…

…whether there is really any difference between Tantric sex and ordinary sex.

 

Does that mean the so-called “masters” who physically test tantric sex actually lost control over themselves…in the heat of passion…tantric sex got reduced to ordinary sex? And to cover up that IRREVERSIBLE mistake, secrecy is brought in…concerning the sexual partnerº

The risks being defrock (parajika) of the monk as well as loss of face or humiliation before others including students, disciples, well wishers etc.

º To prevent hard questions (embarrassing to man BUT common gossip “secrets” among women…and in modern times of high tech spy devices, wireless spy devices, satellite based zooming spy devices etc., such intimate matters are also available very precisely as juicy open “secrets” to perverted man and women voyeurs also…) to be made public, like, How did he perform in bed? …How much amount of cum/pre-cum the partner come across during the acts?...How many times he did that?...For how long the rod was erect?...Did he frequently try hard to bring the rod back to erection or the woman had to help a lot…in various ways…in bringing about the erect state?...Was the rod of sufficient length?...How long he can keep on going?...Does he get tired soon?...Is he “forceful” always?...and so on and on…a long list of intimate questions regarding sexual activity concerning any man…

And in a scenario with multiple partners, comparison of each factor with other men also comes in…

Tantra History

Tantra

 

SO WHAT IS TANTRA?

Tantra is a term used widely in Western society to refer to a developing system of sexual healing and way to improve sexual performance and communication within human relationships. 

 

Tantra was originally developed as a spiritual practice and became accepted as a shortcut path to Enlightenment.  It was adopted into Hinduism and was taken to Tibet where it became the central practice in Tibetan Buddhisim and has survived in its original form until today, the teachings being passed on from teacher to student.

 

Tantra had nothing to do with sexuality other than tantra is about all aspects of life, It is the sexual terminology used to explain tantra that causes confusion.

 

To understand Classical Tantra in this context it helps to understand the concept of the archetypes of our characters that were made better known by the psychologist Karl Jung.  When we look at Buddhism and Hinduism we see a great many Deities such as Kali, Krishna, Laksmi, Shiva etc. These Deities are the character archetypes that exist within us.  They are the prince and princess, king and queen, witch and wizard, the lover and the loved, the dragon and various demons.

 

Every deity has it's qualities of;

 

love

 

strength

 

compassion

 

wisdom

 

The embodying of these qualities helps you to become more whole and empowered. 

 

Look now briefly at the history of Yoga.

 

1. Yoga has a history that goes back beyond 6000 years,  and one possibility is that it has stemmed out of mankinds interest in himself. To me is probable is that yoga has developed from shamanizim and a basic human desire to undersatand our selves. Shamanisim incorporates many practices to alter both mental and physical states. And it seems that in this quest that an this traditional practise over time has developed into the science of yoga.

 

2. A rumour presented by Stuart Wilde and supported by many other teachers suggests that there was a super race of beings who assisted mankind in his endevour as a means to 'realise the self' However these beings left or died and religon developed out of the desire to maintain the qualities that were presented. However the meaning was lost and religon became more to do with power and control. So there has always been corruption. It seems that always when some one in out culture develops and idea, or a creation, others want to have and to control it.

 

Within yoga and tantra the body represents the cosmos and all of the Gods, liberation can only be gained by setting out from the body. So it is good to have a body that is healthy and strong. It is said  that  it is for the need to have this strong body that the physical Hatha Yoga was developed. Were as before yoga practices have been more concerned with meditative states.

 

The ultimate quest of yoga is to realise the self, to know God... To achieve the state of Buddha or Christ consciousness.

 

The path of yoga is to search, to know ones inner world, ones body mind and spirit and to develop ones latent potential.

 

Tantra:

Within Yoga, tantra became vouge In 6th centuary AD and spread over all sections of society.

 

According to Buddist history, Tantra was introduced by Asanga and Nagajuna  who both lived on the border areas of Hindustan, which suggests that tantra may indeed have come more from aboriginal India.

 

Tantra is divided into 4 classes, 2 more for ritual and 2 for attaining the supreme truth.

 

Shiva The Male Principal and Shakti the Female Principal. God is still commonly seen as male, but the association of giving divine status to the Shakti also recognises the godliness of woman. A religious rediscovery of woman? A recognition of all that is remote,  trancendant and invulnerable in woman,  incorporating the mystery of creation and mystery of being.  This has been described that phylosophicaly that the rediscovery of the  Goddess is bound with the carnal condition of the Kali Yuga.

 

A new revalation of timeless truth for this dark age.

 

Sexuality in tantra serves as a vehicle for attaining transcedence.

 

An inward journey into the light.

 

Within Tantra there are two schools of thought;

 

In the Buddhist tradition of the Dalai Lama, Tantra is a meditative vizualization,  involving immense detail. This is preceeded by the generation of bodychitta or right attitude.

 

The more liberal translation, is that tantra is about sex and a means of improving sexual performence, the bodys energies are stimuated and sexual practices engaged in. This concept is currently in vouge and results in the development of a new awareness of the self, one's partner and approach to love making. Includes are;

 

Body Consiousness and Sexuality.

Communication.

Kudalini,  ida,  pingala, shasuma.

Force or Persausion?

Retention of semen.

Restaint of orgasim.

Trancendence

Peeling the layers.

Seeing the divine in each other.

 

Tantra 

Tantra is literally the ‘Fabric of Life’. It is about the connection with the Divine Principal within and learning to express this outwardly in the world and in communion with a partner. Tantric practises include Meditation, movement, sensuality, body awareness, energy awareness, communication, touch, music, play, opportunity to be more you. In Tantra and Yoga Tantra you are introduce to the energy of life. This EMPOWERS YOUR LIFE and allows you to be more of who you truely are. It can have a huge positive impact on your personal life, your relationships and your business.

 

Tantra makes clear the hidden, the inner you.

 

Tantra can enhance your sex life

 

Tantra helps you to attune to nature.

 

Tantra is a holistic concept.

The Forms of Tantrism

http://www.gnosis-usa.com/tantrism.html

   

The Forms of Tantrism   

 

Seek out a qualified consort (a spouse)

And the secret of the daikinis, (the Great Arcanum, the wisdom of the Angels)

The wisdom of bliss and emptiness will arise within…

Free of dualistic grasping, (of craving and aversion)

reverse the flow of the descending nectar (the sexual energy)

And diffuse it throughout the body… (through transmutation)

Applied well, you will attain Buddhahood in this very life.

- Tipola, from “The Song of Mahamudra

 

White Tantrism

 

Some Esoterists (with tendencies towards oriental esotericism) who traveled in the east, had investigated the Asiatic Continent and had arrived at the conclusion that in Tibet, as well as in India, Tantrism is the only truly practical school.

 

Many Ashrams exist in the Sacred Land of the Vedas. They practice and study Yoga within these Ashrams; however, the most serious Ashrams are exclusively those where the Tantric teaching is abundant.

 

In the Hindustani markets, studious travelers can find marvelous Tantric Books like Kama Kalpa and Kama Sutra. These books are illustrated with splendid photographs related to certain sacred sculptures and bas-reliefs of their Temples. (Note: He says elsewhere that these texts and photographs are often adulterated and therefore contain many practices of Black Tantrism).

 

A careful examination of those photographs allows us to collect very interesting information about Tantric Maithuna (Sexual Yoga).

 

The Tantric type of Hatha Yoga is extraordinary and leads the Esoterist to Intimate Self-Realization. However, Hatha Yoga without Tantrism is like a garden without water.

 

The Hindu Esoteric School of Laya Yoga with its famous Laya-Kriya Tantric Sadhana is, by all means, marvelous and leads the Neophytes to the Intimate Self-realization.

 

If Yogananda would have accepted matrimony, it is clear that his Guru would have given him the complete Kriya.

 

An in-depth Tantrism exists in Chinese (Chan) Buddhism and also in Japanese Zen. It is lamentable that many Orientalists are content with the mere exterior cortex of Buddhism.

 

The Medullar Bone of Esoteric Buddhism and of Taoism is Tantrism, Maithuna (Sexual Yoga).

 

The Tantric practitioners from Secret Tibet and Sacred India practice the Positive Sexual Yoga; this is, to connect the Lingam-Yoni without the ejaculation of the Ens Seminis.

 

Never have I slept without a sweetheart

Nor have I spent a single drop of sperm. - The Sixth Dalai Lama

 

The Tantric Gurus of Tibet and Hindustan are very strict. Before the male and female Yogi couple has the right to practice the Tantric Sadhana (a Sexual Position which is very special for the sexual connection among the Tantric practitioners) they first must become experts in the exercises of Laya-Kriya.

 

Frankly we cannot and must not deny that the Kama Kalpa teaches many Tantric Sadhanas; however, here we only cite the one in which the male is seated in Padmasana (or in the Buddhic style or simply with his legs crossed in the oriental style) and practices the sexual union with his female Yogi.

 

Thus, the female Yogi Initiate has to sit on top of the legs of her male Yogi and skillfully cross her legs in such a way that the trunk of her male Yogi is enveloped by them.

 

An interchange of caresses between the man and the woman is previously required in order to perform the sexual connection of the Lingam-Yoni during this Tantric Sadhana, thus the woman finally absorbs the Phallus.

 

This Tantric connubial practice demands an absolute quietude and mental silence in order to avoid the tenebrous intervention of the Pluralized “I.”

 

Strong Electromagnetic currents exuberantly flow in those instants of supreme voluptuousness; thus the couple enters into Ecstasy or Samadhi.

 

A Guru directs this esoteric work; he makes strong magnetic strokes on the Coccyx of both man and woman with the purpose of awakening the Electronic Solar Fire, the Igneous Serpent of our Magical Powers.

 

This is a system that transmutes the sexual energy into OJAS (Christic Force). The couple must restrain the sexual impulse and avoid the Ejaculation of the Semen.

 

“The Coitus Interruptus,” the restrained sexual impulse, makes the sexual energy of the Third Logos to inwardly and upwardly return throughout the canals of Ida and Pingala.

 

Maithuna originates within the coccyx, close to the Triveni of the Microcosmic Human Being, an extraordinary contact between the Solar and Lunar Atoms of the Seminal System.

 

The advent of the fire is the outcome of the contact between the Solar and Lunar Atoms of the Seminal System.

 

The Gnostic Tantric Sadhana is very simple. During the Tantric act, man and woman practice in the normal or ordinary sexual position; what is important is to withdraw from the sexual act before the Spasm in order to avoid the Ejaculation of their Semen.

 

I. A. O. is the Tantric Mantra of excellence. The letter “I” reminds us of IGNIS, the Fire. The letter “A” is the AQUA, the Water. The letter “O” signifies ORIGUM, the Spirit. I. A. O. must be chanted during the practice of Maithuna.

 

It is very interesting that the Sexual Gonads are esoterically governed by Uranus, the Planet of Aquarius. Uranus was a Divine King from primeval Atlantis. Uranus reminds us of UR-ANAS, the Primordial Fire and Water. This is equivalent to the establishment of the First Luni-Solar Cult of the Androgynous “IO,” in other words, the apparition of the Astrological Chaldean; therefore, Uranus, the Asura-Maya, the First Atlantean, is factually the first revealer of Sexual Mysteries.

 

One has to descend into the Ninth Sphere (Sex) in order to work with the primordial Fire and the Water, origin of Worlds, Beasts, Human Beings and Gods. Every authentic White Initiation begins there.

 

The Advent of the Fire is the most extraordinary Cosmic Event. The Fire transforms us radically.

 

It is worth remembering the Chaos of the Ancient, Sacred Fire of Zoroaster, or the ATASH-BEHRAN of the Parsis, the Fire of Hermes, the Fire of Helmes of ancient Germans (do not mistake Hermes with Helmes).

 

Let us remember the flashing lightning of Cibele, the torch of Apollo, the flame of the Altar of Pan, the imperishable fire in the Temple of Apollo, and in the Temple of Vesta; the Fiery Flame in the Helmet of Pluto, the shining sparks on the hats of the Dioscuri, on the head of the Gorgons, on the helmet of Pallas, and on the Caduceus of Mercury.

 

Other representations of the Advent of the Fire are: the Egyptian PTAH-RA, the Greek Cataibates Zeus (which descended from heaven to earth in accordance with Pausanias); likewise, the Pentecostal Tongues of Fire and the Flaming Bush of Moses (this is very similar to the Burning Tunal which brought about the founding of Mexico). Also the Column of Fire in the Exodus, the imperishable Lamp of Abraham. Moreover, the Eternal Fire of the bottomless Abyss or Pleroma, the fulgent vapors of the Oracle of Delphi, the Sidereal Light of the Rosicrucian-Gnostics, the Akash of the Hindustani Adepts, the Astral Light of Eliphas Levi, the Aura and fluid of Magnetizers, the Od of Reichembach, the Psychod and the Ectenic force, the Thury that is analogous to the highest hypnotic states of Rochas and Ochorowist, the Rays of Blondot and many others like the Psychic Force of Sergeant Cox, the Atmospheric Magnetism of some Naturists, Galvanism, and in sum, Electricity. These examples are nothing more than different names for the unlimited number of manifestations of that Mysterious Proteus that has been named the Archaeus of the Greeks.

 

The ascent of the Sacred Fire degree by degree through the Sushumna canal is very slow and difficult. Any single ejaculation of the semen is enough in order for the fire to descend one or more spinal vertebrae in accordance with the magnitude of the fault.

 

Jesus the Great Kabir had said: “The disciple must not allow himself to fall, because the disciple who consents in falling, must fight very hard afterwards in order to recuperate what he has lost.”

 

The Maithuna, Sexual Yoga, Gnostic Tantrism, can only be practiced between a man and a woman who are legitimately constituted as spouses.

 

White Tantrism forbids its male Adepts and affiliates to practice Maithuna with many women. White Tantrism forbids the Gnostic Sisters to practice Maithuna with different men. They must only practice Sexual Magic with their own Spouse.

 

By relying upon an external consort... who has matured through Tantric Initiation, the yogi on the highest levels of the completion stage is led to Great Bliss... For this practice one must understand the oral instructions well and have complete control of the vital energies...

- The Second Dalai Lama

 

The sexual act performed normally may give a slight notion of the nature of this higher consciousness, but more than that it cannot do, since the energy, instead of being trapped and put to use, is expended… creating a new physical body instead of spiritual consciousness.

- Thubten Jigme Norbu

 

Put to death what is earthly in you: fornication, impurity, passion, evil

desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. On account of these the

wrath of God is coming. In these you once walked, when you lived in them.

But now put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and foul talk

from your mouth.

- Colossians 3.5-8

 

Grey Tantrism

 

A Greek fable tells us the tale of Sisyphus the Colossus, who by carrying a big boulder on his back intends once again to reach the summit of the mountain. However, his attempts always fail because just when he is about to place the stone at the right point of his desired goal, the stone always falls into the depths of the precipice.

 

Whosoever spills the Cup of Hermes once in a while, whosoever at times does not spill the semen, and then later comes to spill it, violates the law of the Holy Kabirs and converts himself into a Gray Tantric Adept.

 

In this World of Samsara, there exist evasiveness and false justifications for many things. Thus, this is how Gray Tantrism also has its followers and its doctrine.

 

Any Esoterist Traveler who himself proposes to perform an in-depth investigation among the Secret Schools of the Asiatic Continent will verify for himself the crude and painful reality of Gray Tantrism.

 

Tantrism exists in all of Asia and is very abundant in the diverse schools of Theravada (Hinayana), Mahayana, Chan, Zen, Tantric Buddhism, etc.

 

The Intellectual Animals always find evasiveness and false justification for all of their weaknesses. Therefore, it does not surprise us that even within these self-exalted and dignified schools of Zen, Tantric Buddhism and others much ballast of Gray Tantrism is found.

 

It is lamentable that many disoriented Instructors (from those Oriental Schools) offer valuable Sexual Yoga techniques and practices without ever comprehending the fundamental aspect of Tantrism, that being the urgent necessity of never committing the crime of spilling the Semen during your whole life.

 

To prolong the Coitus with the sole objective of enjoying animalistic pleasure and without any regard for Seminal Ejaculation is undoubtedly Gray Tantrism that can easily degenerate into Black Tantrism.

 

Fortunately, there exists a lot of White Tantrism in Taoism, in the Hindu and Tibetan Tantrism, in the pure Zen and in the original Chan.

 

Some sects of Persian origin existed in Old Europe (such as the famous Manicheans) who practiced White Tantrism or COITUS INTERRUPTUS; they called it Karezza which is a word that has Persian origins.

 

The Medieval Knights also practiced White Sexual Magic in the DONOI.

 

The Alchemists who work with all the Principles and Laws of the Holy Eight Self-realize in depth, and they convert themselves into Hierophants.

 

Every Authentic Esoterist knows very well that the Symbol of the Infinite is equal to the Pentalpha, the famous Star of Five Points.

 

Every Esoterist knows very well that the Eight Kabirs are found intimately related with the Eight Winds. Boreas, the wind of the north, was considered a raptor of youngsters. Noto or Austro, the wind of the south, dragged the tempests and the clouds. Cephiro, the wind of the west of the world, was venerated as the God of Spring. Euro or Vulturno, at times dry, at times humid, was always venerated in winter.

 

Ancient sages never forgot Caecias the Greek, the famous, the Northeastern wind. The ancient Hierophants also never forgot Apelites, the Southeasten wind. Neither had they forgotten Lips, the Southwestern wind, nor Schiron, the Northwestern wind.

 

The work with the Philosophical Stone, the Eight Steps of Yoga, are exclusively for those who respect the Principles and Laws of the Holy Eight and never those of the henchmen of Black or Gray Tantrism.

 

When a man has an emission of semen he shall bathe his whole body in water and remain unclean until evening.

- Leviticus 15:16

 

No one whose testes are crushed or whose member is cut off shall be admitted into the congregation of the Lord.

- Deuteronomy 23:1

 

Black Tantrism

 

Within the perpetual snow of the millenarian Tibet, full of so many traditions, there exist diverse Black Tantric Schools.

 

Miserable will be the one who affiliates himself to those tenebrous schools. It were better for him that "a millstone were hanged about his neck, and be cast into the sea." (Luke: 17:2)

 

The fundamental basic objective of the Black Tantric Schools is the development of the abominable Kundabuffer Organ (Tail of Satan).

 

White Sexual Yoga teaches that the Igneous Serpent of our Magical Powers awakens with the contact of the Solar and Lunar Atoms of the Seminal System in the Triveni, close to the Coccyx in order to initiate its march inward and upward through the Medullar Canal.

 

However, the Black Yogis from the Klan of Dagdugpa never perform the contact of the Solar and Lunar Atoms inside the organism; they always do it outside the organism.

 

These Black Yogis (Asura Samphata) commit the crime of ejaculating the Semen (Shuhra) during the Maithuna. They do this in order to mix their semen with feminine Raja. Thus, this is how they achieve the contact of the Solar and Lunar Atoms within the same woman’s Yoni.

 

Undoubtedly, the most difficult thing for these Red Hat Bons and Dugpas is the reabsorbing of the Seminal Liquid after having ejaculated it.

 

A certain terribly malignant psychic type of force exists in this reabsorbing process.

 

Incorrectly applied, the Vajroli Mudra (in combination with their Mental Force) allows these Red Hat Bons and Dugppas to absorb their spilled Seminal Liquor through their urethra.

 

During the ordinary sexual contact the Intellectual Animal spills millions of Solar Atoms of very high voltage. These are immediately replaced by billions of Satanic Atoms from the Secret Enemy, and these are collected from within the Atomic Infernos of the human being by means of the process of contraction (orgasm) of the sexual organs after the coitus.

 

When the semen is not spilled, then the Solar Atoms return inward and upward through Ida and Pingala. Then the Solar Atoms extraordinarily multiply in quantity and quality.

 

However, the spilled semen (which the Black Tantras reabsorb through their urethra by extracting it from within the vagina) in fact, has already converted itself into a frightful accumulator of Satanic Atoms.

 

When these types of Abnormal Satanic Atoms intend to rise up to the Golgotha of the Father (the Brain), they violently are cast down against the coccyx by the Three Akashic Breaths that work in Ida, Pingala and Shushumna.

 

These types of seminal malignant atoms are precipitated through Ida and Pingala. They violently struggle in order to reach the brain; however all of their efforts are useless because the Three Akashic Breaths cast them down against that region of the coccyx where a Malignant Atom has its habitat and also the power to place the Abominable Kundabuffer Organ into activity.

 

Within any ordinary person, the Igneous Serpent of our Magical Powers remains enclosed within the Coccygeal Center; it is coiled up in a marvelous way three and a half times.

 

We convert ourselves into Angels when the Serpent rises through the Medullar Canal. However, we convert ourselves into Terribly Malignant Lunar Demons when the Serpent descends, when the serpent precipitates from the coccyx downwards into the Atomic Infernos of the Human Being.

 

The rising Serpent is the Kundalini. The falling Serpent is the Abominable Kundabuffer Organ.

 

When the Serpent is rising throughout the Medullar Canal, it is the bronze serpent that healed the Israelites in the wilderness. Yet, the falling serpent is the tempting serpent of Eden, the terrible serpent Python with Seven Heads which was writhing in the mud of the earth and which Apollo furiously hurt with his darts.

 

The Abominable Kundabuffer Organ confers onto the Black Tantric Magicians terribly malignant Psychic Powers (Siddhis).

 

The Abominable Kundabuffer Organ can never open the Seven Apocalyptic Churches of the Book of Revelation (which are the Seven Vital Centers of the Dorsal Spine) because it can never succeed in rising through the Medullar Canal.

 

However, the Abominable Kundabuffer Organ can place the antithesis of the Seven Churches into activity. The antitheses are Seven Malignant Centers or Seven tenebrous Chakras of the lower abdomen.

 

Muslims affirm that the Inferno has Seven Gates and that these exist in the Lower Abdomen. The Abominable Kundabuffer Organ has the power of opening those Seven Gates.

 

To develop the Abominable Kundabuffer Organ and to place into activity the Seven Infernal Chakras of the Lower Abdomen is in fact equivalent to converting ourselves into that Filthy Beast with Seven Heads and Ten Horns upon which the Great Harlot (Humanity) whose number is 666 is seated.

 

Those who commit the crime of developing the Abominable Kundabuffer Organ divorce themselves from their Immortal Spiritual Triad “Atman-Buddhi-Manas” and sink forever into the Infernal Worlds.

 

KUNDALINI is a compound word: KUNDA reminds us of the Abominable Kundabuffer Organ, and LINI is indeed an Atlantean word which signifies "ended."

 

Therefore, the Pentecostal Fire rising through the Medullar Canal signifies that the Abominable Kundabuffer Organ comes to an end.

 

The Fire of the Holy Spirit ascending throughout the Medullar Canal opens the Church of Ephesus (Coccygeal Chakra), the Church of Smyrna (Prostatic or Uterine Chakra), the Church Pergamus (Umbilical Chakra), the Church of Thyatira (Chakra of the Heart), the Church of Sardis (Laryngeal Chakra), the Church of Philadelphia (Frontal Chakra), the Church of Laodicea (Lotus of One Thousand Petals) and the Abominable Kundabuffer Organ comes to an end.

 

In fact, the Damned Serpent, the Luciferic Fire, the Tail of Satan, opens the Seven Antithetic Infernal Churches from the lower abdomen.

 

The Ascending Fire confers onto the Innermost, the Spirit, powers over Prittwi, the element Earth, in the Church of Ephesus. It confers powers over Apas, the Water, in the Church of Smyrna. It confers power over Tejas, the Fire, in the Church of Pergamus. It confers power over Vayu, the Air, in the Church of Thyatira. It confers power over Akash, the Ether, in the church of Sardis. It confers power over the Light with the Eye of Shiva in the Church of Philadelphia and it confers the union with the Innermost in the Church of Laodicea.

 

Even when the Abominable Kundabuffer Organ, the Descending Fire, gives the Black Yogi certain Siddhis (Magical Powers intimately related with the Seven Infernal Chakras from the lower abdomen) it also converts him into an inhabitant of the Subterranean World, into a slave of the elements.

 

In the Western World, the Left-Handed Adepts have established many schools of Black Tantrism. Such tenebrous organizations display sublime titles.

 

We know the case of a certain Great Initiate who founded a school of White Tantrism before disincarnating; unfortunately, he committed the mistake of leaving his son (an inexperienced young man) as General Director. Thus, this naïve youngster (without any true esoteric experience) soon allowed himself to be cheated by certain Black Tantric Adepts and concluded by publicly teaching Black Tantrism.

 

The outcome of all of this was frightful, because some members of this brotherhood, also inexperienced, accepted the Black Tantric Teachings and ended up converting themselves into terribly malignant demons.

 

Sex is a stone of stumbling, and a rock of falling; sex is a chief cornerstone, elect, precious.

 

We must never forget the words of Peter, the Master of Maithuna. Peter warned us against the False Prophets and False Masters (who in disguise and with sublime and ineffable false appearances) introduce many destructive heresies, much Black Tantrism and pernicious practices.

 

Follow, beloved Gnostic Brethren, the Straight Path, the Path of Perfect Chastity, the Path of Absolute Sanctity and Great Sacrifice for our fellowmen.

 

Unless marked otherwise, the above is quoted from various chapters of "The Doomed Aryan Race" by Samael Aun Weor.

“Thou belongest to That Which Is Undying, and not merely to time alone,” murmured the Sphinx, breaking its muteness at last. “Thou art eternal, and not merely of the vanishing flesh. The soul in man cannot be killed, cannot die. It waits, shroud-wrapped, in thy heart, as I waited, sand-wrapped, in thy world. Know thyself, O mortal! For there is One within thee, as in all men, that comes and stands at the bar and bears witness that there IS a God!
