The Abyss

Kabbalistic traditions state that Adam had two wives: Lilith and Nahemah.  Lilith is the mother of abortions, homosexuality, and in general, all kinds of crimes against Nature.  Nahemah is the mother of malignant beauty, passion, and adultery.

Thus, the Abyss is divided into two large regions: the spheres of Lilith and Nahemah.  Infrasexuality reigns sovereign in these two large regions.

The Sphere of Lilith

In the infrasexual sphere of Lilith abide those who hate sex, for example, monks, anchorites, preachers of pseudo-esoteric type sects, pseudo-yogis who abhor sex, nuns, etc.  All such infrasexual people (by the mere fact that they are infrasexual) often have an affinity with people of intermediate sexuality.  Thus, it is not difficult to find homosexuality within many convents, religions, sects and schools of a pseudo-esoteric type.  Infrasexual people consider themselves to be highly superior to those of normal sexuality.  They are disdainful of people of normal sexuality, considering them inferior.  All of the taboos, restrictions, and prejudices that currently condition the lives of people of normal sexuality were firmly established by infrasexual people.  

We heard about the case of an old anchorite who preached a certain pseudo-occult doctrine.  Everyone venerated this man considering him to be a saint.  Apparently he was a master and people worshipped him.  Finally, one poor woman discovered the truth, when he proposed a sexual union against Nature to her, supposedly in order to initiate her.  In reality, this anchorite was an infrasexual.  Nevertheless, this man had taken the vows of chastity.  This man mortally hated the Arcanum A. Z. F. (Sexual Magic).  He considered it to be dangerous.  However, he had no problem proposing extra-vaginal unions to his devotees because he was really an infrasexual.  Who would have doubted this man?  Apparently, he was a saint.  This is what the people believed.  His followers considered him a master.  He hated sex.  Yes, he mortally hated sex.

This is a characteristic of infrasexual, degenerated people. The worst of the matter is that they consider themselves superior to people of normal sexuality.  They feel they are super-transcendent, and they manage to seduce people of normal sexuality,  converting them into their followers. In our mission, which is to divulge Gnostic esotericism, we have had the opportunity to study infrasexual people.  We often hear them repeating the following phrases: “You Gnostics are selfish because all you ever think of is your Kundalini and Sexual Magic.”  “You are sexual fanatics.”  “Sexual Magic is purely animalistic.”  “Sex is something very vulgar; I am a spiritualist and I abhor all that is materialistic and vulgar.”  “Sex is filthy.”  “There are many paths to God.”  “I live only for God and am not interested in the rubbish of sexuality.”  “I follow the doctrine of chastity and abhor sex,” etc.  This is precisely the language of infrasexual people. They are always self-sufficient, always so proud in their feeling of superiority to people of normal sexuality.

An infrasexual woman who hated her husband said to us: “I would only practice Sexual Magic with my guru.”  She said this in the presence of her husband. This woman had no sexual relations with her husband because she supposedly hated sex.  Nevertheless, she was willing to practice Sexual Magic, but only with her guru.  She had an affinity with the guru because he too was an infrasexual.  This is the “saint” mentioned earlier in this chapter, the one who enjoyed suggesting to his female devotees to have sexual unions, against Nature, with him.

We heard about the case of the arch-hierophant who hated women and who often uttered phrases such as this: “Women! I kick them with my feet.”  He preached a doctrine, and his followers adored him as if he was a God.  He was always surrounded by adolescents. Thus, this is how he spent his time, until the police uncovered everything. He was a homosexual, a corrupter of minors; yet, he had the same pride of all infrasexual people, which is feeling super-transcendent, ineffable, and divine.

The sphere of Lilith is the sphere of great heresy.  These people no longer have the possibility of redemption because they hate the Holy Spirit. “All manner of sin shall be forgiven, except the sin against the Holy Ghost.”

Sexual energy is an emanation of the Divine Mother.  Whosoever renounces the Cosmic Mother, whosoever hates the Divine Mother, whosoever profanes the energy of the Divine Mother shall sink into the Abyss forever.  There they will have to pass through the Second Death.

The Psychology of the Sphere of Lilith

The sphere of Lilith is characterized by its cruelty.  The psychology of this sphere has various aspects: monks and nuns who hate sex, homosexuality in convents, homosexuality outside of monastic life, induced abortions, people who love masturbation, criminals of the brothel, people who enjoy torturing others, etc.  In this sphere we find the most horrible crimes reported in police records: horrible cases of bloody crimes of homosexual origin, terrifying acts of sadism, homosexuality in jails, lesbianism, terrifying psychotic criminals, those who enjoy making their loved one suffer, horrible infanticides, patricides, matricides, etc.  In this sphere we also find pseudo-occultists who would rather suffer from nocturnal pollution than get married, people who mortally hate the Arcanum A. Z. F. and the Perfect Matrimony, people who believe that they can reach God while hating sex, anchoritic people who abhor sex and who consider it vulgar and gross.

The Sphere of Nahemah

The sphere of Nahemah seduces with the enchantment of her malignant beauty.  In this infrasexual sphere we find the “Don Juans and femme fatales.”  The world of prostitution unfolds in this sphere.

The infrasexual men of Nahemah feel very manly.  Men who have many women live in this sphere.  They feel happy in adultery.  They believe themselves to be very manly; they are unaware that they are infrasexual.

In the sphere of Nahemah we also find millions of prostitutes. These poor women are victims of the fatal charm of Nahemah.  In the sphere of Nahemah we find elegant ladies of high social standing.  These people are very happy within adultery.  That is their world.

In the infrasexual region of Nahemah we find a sweetness that moves the soul: virgins that seduce with the charm of their tenderness, very beautiful seductive women, men who abandon their homes bewitched by the enchantment of these most precious beauties.  In this region we also find indescribable beauty, uncontrollable passions, beautiful salons, elegant cabarets, soft beds, delightful dances, orchestras of the abyss, unforgettable romantic words that cannot be forgotten, etc.

The infrasexual people of Nahemah sometimes accept the Arcanum A.Z.F. (Sexual Magic) but fail because they are unable to avoid the ejaculation of semen.  They almost always withdraw from the Perfect Matrimony uttering horrible things against it.  We have heard them saying:  “I practiced Sexual Magic and sometimes I was able to remain without spilling the semen. I was an animal enjoying the delicious passions of sex.” After withdrawing from the path of the razor’s edge, represented by the spinal medulla, they seek refuge in some seductive doctrine of Nahemah.  If they are lucky enough not to fall into the sphere of Lilith, they continue ejaculating the seminal liquor.  Such is their infrasexual world.

The Psychology of the Sphere of Nahemah

The infrasexual inhabitants of the sphere of Nahemah are very touchy.  They are the ones who utter phrases such as: “Offense is cleansed with blood.”  “I killed because I am a man of honor.”  “My honor was slighted.”  “I am a wronged husband,” etc.  The Nahemah type of man is the one who jeopardizes his life for any lady.  He is the passionate lover of luxury, a slave to social prejudice, the friend of drunkenness, banquets, parties, very elegant fashions, etc. These people consider the Perfect Matrimony to be something impossible, and when they accept it, they last for only a short time on the path because they fail.  This type of person enjoys sex in a bestial manner. When these people accept the Arcanum A.Z F., they utilize it to enjoy lust.  As soon as they find some seductive doctrine that offers them refuge, they then withdraw from the Perfect Matrimony.

The Mystique of Nahemah

Sometimes we find mystic types in the infrasexual sphere of Nahemah who neither drink, eat meat, nor smoke, or they are very religious, though not vegetarians.  The mystic type of Nahemah is only passionate in secret.  They violently enjoy sexual passions, even though later they pass terrible judgements against sexual passion. Sometimes they accept the Arcanum A.Z.F., but they withdraw in a short while when they find some consoling doctrine which provides them with phrases like this: “God said ‘grow and multiply.”  “The sexual act is a purely animal function and spirituality has nothing to do with it,” etc.  Then the infrasexual one from Nahemah, in finding justification for ejaculating the seminal liquor, leaves the path of the Perfect Matrimony.

Normal Sexuality

We understand people of normal sexuality to be those who have no sexual conflicts of any kind.  Sexual energy is divided into three distinct types.  First: the energy having to do with the reproduction of the race and the health of the physical body in general. Second: the energy having to do with the spheres of thought, feeling and will.  Third: the energy that is found related with the Divine Spirit of man.

Indeed, sexual energy is without a doubt the most subtle and powerful energy normally produced and transported through the human organism.  Everything that a human being is, including the three spheres of thought, feeling and will, is none other than the exact outcome of distinct modifications of sexual energy.

The control and storage of sexual energy is certainly difficult due to the tremendously subtle and powerful nature of this energy.  In addition, its presence represents a source of immense power that can result in a true catastrophe if one does not know how to handle it.

Within the organism, there are certain canals through which this powerful energy must normally circulate.  When this energy infiltrates the delicate mechanism of other functions, failure is the violent outcome.  In this case, extremely delicate centers in the human organism are damaged, and in fact, the individual becomes an infrasexual.

All negative mental attitudes can lead directly or indirectly to these violent and destructive catastrophes of sexual energy.  Hatred of sex, hatred of the Arcanum A.Z.F., disgust or repugnance towards sex, disdain for sex, an underestimation of sex, fear of sex, passional jealousy, sexual cynicism, sexual sadism, obscenity, pornography, sexual brutality, etc., turn the human being into an infrasexual.

Sex is the creative function through which the human being is a true God. Normal sexuality results from total harmony and concordance with all the other functions. Normal sexuality bestows upon us the power to create healthy children, to create in the world of art or the sciences.  Any negative mental attitude towards sex produces infiltration of this powerful energy into other functions, which provokes frightening catastrophes, fatally resulting in infrasexuality.

All negative mental attitudes compel the sexual energy, forcing it to circulate through canals and systems fit for mental, volitive, or any other type of energy less powerful than sexual energy.  The result is fatal because that type of canal and system, unable to endure the tremendous voltage of the very powerful sexual energy, gets heated and blows out, as does a wire that is too thin and fine when a high power electrical current passes through it.

When man and woman unite sexually in the Perfect Matrimony, they are truly ineffable Gods in those voluptuous moments.  Man and woman united sexually form a divine androgynous being, a male-female Elohim, a terrifically divine Divinity.  The two halves, separated since the dawn of life, are united for one instant in order to create.  This is ineffable, sublime; this is a thing of paradise...

Sexual energy is dangerously volatile and potentially explosive.  During the secret act, during sexual ecstasy, the pair is surrounded by a tremendous, terrifically divine energy.  In these moments of utmost joy and ardent kisses, which ignite the depths of the soul, we are able to retain that marvelous light to purify and totally transform ourselves.  When we spill the glass of Hermes, when the loss occurs, the light of the Gods withdraws, leaving an open door for the red and sanguinary light of Lucifer to enter the home.  Then the enchantment disappears and disillusion and disenchantment take its place.  After a short time, the man and woman start out on the path of adultery because their home has become an inferno.

It is characteristic of Nature to mobilize enormous reserves of creative energy in order to create any cosmos.  Yet Nature only employs an infinitesimal quantity of its enormous reserves in order to carry out its creations.  Man loses six or seven million spermatozoa in one seminal ejaculation; however, only one infinitesimal spermatozoon is needed to engender a child.

In Lemuria, no human being ejaculated the semen.  Then, couples united sexually in the temples to create.  During those moments, the lunar hierarchies knew how to utilize one spermatozoon and one egg in order to create without the necessity of the couple reaching the orgasm and seminal ejaculation.  No one spilled the semen.  The sexual act was a sacrament which was only performed within the temple.  Women in those times gave birth to children without any pain, and the serpent was raised victoriously through the medullar canal.  In that epoch, human beings had not yet left Eden. All of Nature obeyed them, and they knew neither pain nor sin.  The tenebrous Lucifers were the ones who showed humans how to spill the semen.  The original sin of our first parents was the crime of spilling the semen.  That is fornication.  When the paradisiacal human being fornicated, he then penetrated the kingdom of the Lucifers.  The human being of this day and age is luciferic.

It is absurd to spill six or seven million spermatozoa when only one is needed in order to create.  One sole spermatozoon escapes easily from the sexual glands without the necessity of spilling the semen.  When the human being returns to the starting point, when he re-establishes the sexual system of Eden, the sacred serpent Kundalini will again rise victoriously in order to convert us into Gods.  The sexual system of Eden is normal sexuality; the sexual system of the luciferic human is absolutely abnormal.

Not only does one fornicate physically, but fornication also exists in the Mental and astral worlds.  Those who engage in lustful conversations, those who read pornographic magazines, those who attend movie houses where passionate, erotic films are shown waste enormous reserves of energy.  Those poor people utilize the finest and most delicate substance of sex, wasting it miserably in the satisfaction of their brutal mental passions.

Sexual fantasy produces psycho-sexual impotence.  These types of sick men have normal erections. They are apparently normal men, but the instant they try to connect the male member with the vulva, the erection diminishes and the phallus falls, leaving them in the most horrible state of despair. They have lived in sexual fantasy, and when they actually find themselves facing the harsh reality of sex, which has nothing to do with fantasy, they become confused and are unable to respond to that reality as they should.

The sexual sense is tremendously rapid and formidably subtle, thanks to its very fine and imponderable energy.  The molecular level where the sexual sense acts is millions of times faster than thought waves.  The logical mind and fantasy are stumbling blocks for the sexual sense.  When the logical mind with all of its reasoning, or when sexual fantasy with all of its erotic illusions wants to control the sexual sense or direct it within its illusions, then it is fatally destroyed.  The logical mind and sexual fantasy destroy the sexual sense when they try to place it at their service.  Psycho-sexual impotence is the most dreadful tragedy that can afflict extravagantly fanciful men and women or purely rational people.

The struggle of many monks, nuns, anchorites, pseudo-yogis, etc., to bottle up sex within their religious fanaticism, to confine it to the prison of their penitence, to muzzle it or sterilize it, to prohibit all creative manifestation, etc., converts the fanatics into slaves of their own passions.  They become slaves of sex, incapable of thinking about anything other than sex.  These are the ones who are fanatical about sex.  These are the degenerated ones of infrasexuality.  These people discharge their energy every night with disgusting nocturnal emissions or acquire homosexual vices or masturbate miserably.  Wanting to confine sex is like wanting to bottle up the sun.  A man like this is the most abject slave of sex without any benefit or true pleasure.  A man like this is an unhappy sinner.  A woman like this is a sterile mule, a vile slave of that which she wants to enslave (sex).  The enemies of the Holy Spirit are people of the Abyss.  It would have been better for these people if they had never been born or if they tied a millstone around their necks and hurled themselves to the bottom of the sea.

The human being must learn to live sexually.  The age of sex, the new Aquarian Age, is at hand.  The sexual glands are controlled by the planet Uranus which is the ruling planet of the constellation of Aquarius.  Thus, sexual alchemy is in fact the science of the new Aquarian Age.  Sexual Magic will be officially accepted in the universities of the new Aquarian Age.  Those who presume to be messengers of the new Aquarian Age, but nevertheless hate the Arcanum A.Z.F., provide more than enough evidence that they are truly impostors, this is because the new Aquarian Age is governed by the regent of sex.  This regent is the planet Uranus.

Sexual energy is the finest energy of the infinite cosmos.  Sexual energy can convert us into Angels or demons.  The image of truth is found deposited in sexual energy.  The cosmic design of Adam Christ is found deposited in sexual energy.

The Son of Man, the Super-Man, is born out of normal sexuality.  The Super-Man could never be born of infrasexual people.  The realm of infrasexual people is the Abyss.  The Greek poet Homer said: “It is better to be a beggar on Earth than a king in the empire of shadows.”  This empire is the tenebrous world of the infrasexual ones.

Suprasexuality

Suprasexuality is the result of sexual transmutation.  Christ, Buddha, Dante, Zoroaster, Mohammed, Hermes, Quetzalcoatl, and many other great masters were suprasexual.

The two great aspects of sexuality are called generation and regeneration. In the preceding chapter we studied conscious generation; now we are going to study regeneration.

By studying the life of animals we discover very interesting things.  If we cut a serpent in half we can be sure that it has the power to regenerate itself.  It can totally develop a new half with all of the organs of the lost half.  Most worms of the earth and sea also have the power of continuous regeneration.  The lizard can regenerate its tail and the human organism its skin.  The power of regeneration is absolutely sexual.

The human being has the power to recreate himself.  Man can create the Super-Man within himself.  This is possible using sexual power wisely.  We can recreate ourselves as authentic Supermen.  This is only possible with sexual transmutation.  The fundamental key to sexual transmutation is the Arcanum A.Z.F. (Sexual Magic).

The key to all power is found in the union of the phallus and the uterus.  What is important is that the couple learns how to withdraw from the sexual act before the spasm, before the seminal discharge.  The semen must not be spilled either inside the uterus or outside of it, neither to the sides, nor anywhere else.  We speak clearly, so that people will understand, even though some puritanical infrasexual people might consider the former statement to be pornographic.

Human life in itself has no meaning.  To be born, to grow, to work hard in order to live, to reproduce oneself as any animal, and then to die is really a chain of martyrdom that the human being carries entangled in his soul.  If that is life, it is not worthy of living.  Fortunately, we have in our sexual glands the seed, the grain.  From this seed, from the grain, can be born the Super-Man, the Adam Christ, the Golden Child of sexual alchemy.  For this, life is certainly worth living.

The path is sexual transmutation.  This is the science of Uranus.  This is the planet that controls the gonads or sexual glands.  This is the planet that governs the constellation of Aquarius.

Uranus has a sexual cycle of eighty-four years.  Uranus is the only planet which directs its two poles toward the sun.  The two poles of Uranus correspond to the masculine and feminine aspects.  These two phases alternate in periods of forty-two years each.  The alternating stimuli of the two poles of Uranus govern all the sexual history of human evolution.  Epochs in which women undress in order to display their bodies alternate with epochs in which men adorn themselves.  Epochs of feminine preponderance alternate with times of intrepid gentlemen.  This is the history of the ages.

When the human being reaches a mature age, he is stimulated by the antithetical cycle, opposite to that which governed during infancy and youth.  Then we are truly mature.  We feel sexually stimulated by the sexual opposite.  In reality, maturity is marvelous for the task of sexual regeneration.  Sexual sentiments are richer and more mature at forty years of age than at thirty.

The Super-Man is not the outcome of evolution.  The Super-Man is born from the seed. The Super-Man is the result of a tremendous revolution of the consciousness.  The Super-Man is the Son of Man mentioned by Christ.  The Super-Man is Adam Christ.

Evolution means that nothing is still; everything exists within the concepts of time, space and movement.  Nature contains within itself all of the possibilities.  No one reaches perfection with evolution.  Some people become better and the vast majority, terribly perverse.  This is evolution.  The human being of innocence, that paradisiacal man of several million years ago, is now, after much evolution, the man of the atomic bomb, the man of the hydrogen bomb, and the corrupted man of peculation and crime.  Evolution is a process of the complication of energy.  We need to return to the point of departure (sex) and regenerate ourselves.  The human being is a living seed.  The seed, the grain, must make an effort so that the Super-Man may germinate.  This is not evolution.  This is a tremendous revolution of the consciousness.  Christ said, and rightly so: “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up.”  - John 3:14. The Son of Man is Adam Christ, the Super-Man.

With sexual transmutation, we regenerate ourselves absolutely.  The period of sexual ecstasy is always preceded by the period of sexual enjoyment.  Thus, the same energy that produces sexual enjoyment, when transmuted, produces ecstasy.

The Lamp of the Hermit of the Ninth Arcanum, which is normally found enclosed within the deep caverns of one’s sexual organs, must be placed within the tower of the temple.  This tower is the brain.  Then we become enlightened.  This is the truly positive path that converts us into masters of Samadhi (Ecstasy).

Every true technique of internal meditation is intimately related with sexual transmutation.  We need to raise the lamp very high in order to illuminate ourselves.

Every novice of Alchemy, after being crowned, begins to move away from the sexual act little by little.  The secret connubial becomes increasingly distant in accordance with certain cosmic rhythms marked by the oriental gong.  That is how the sexual energies are sublimated until they are absolutely transmuted to produce continuous ecstasy.

The neophyte of Alchemy (who in preceding reincarnations worked on the Magisterium of Fire) accomplishes the work of the sexual laboratory in a relatively short time.  But those who undertake the Magnus Opus (the Great Work) for the first time need at least twenty years of very intense work, and twenty more in order to withdraw very slowly from the work of the laboratory: a total of forty years in order to accomplish all the work.  When the Alchemist spills the Cup of Hermes, the fire of the laboratory burner is turned off and all the work is lost.

The age of mystic ecstasy begins when the age of sexual pleasure ends.  All those who attain the Venustic Initiation have a very difficult task to accomplish afterwards.  This task consists of the transformation of the sexual energies.  Just as we can transplant a vegetable, transfer a plant from one flowerpot to another, we must also transplant the sexual energy, extract it from earthly man, and transfer it, transplant it, into the Adam Christ.  In Alchemy, it is said that we must liberate the philosophical egg from the filthy putrefaction of matter and deliver it decisively to the Son of Man.  The result of this work is astonishing and marvelous.  This is precisely the instant when the Adam Christ can swallow his human consciousness.  The consciousness of Adam the sinner must have died before this moment.  Only the Inner God can devour the soul.  Upon reaching this point, the master has Self-realized absolutely.  From this moment we have attained continuous ecstasy, the supreme illumination of great hierophants.

The birth of the Super-Man is an absolutely sexual problem.  We need to be born again in order to enter into the Kingdom of the Heavens.  The Super-Man is as different from man as lightning from a black cloud.  Lightning comes from the cloud, but it is not the cloud.  Lightning is the Super-Man; the cloud is man.  Sexual regeneration activates the powers that we had in Eden.  We lost those powers when we fell into animal generation.  We re-conquer those powers when we regenerate ourselves.  Just as the worm can regenerate its body and the lizard its tail, we can regenerate our lost powers in order to again shine as Gods.  Sexual energies once transplanted in the Adam Christ shine with the immaculate whiteness of Divinity.  These energies appear then as terrifically divine rays.  The grandeur and majesty of the Super-Man is tremendous.  In reality, the Super-Man shines for a moment in the darkness of the ages and then disappears.  He becomes invisible to man.

Ordinarily, we can find traces of these kinds of beings in some secret schools of regeneration.  Almost nothing is officially known about these schools; however, it is because of them that we know of the existence of those sublime supra-sexual beings.  The schools of regeneration have periods of public activity and periods of secret work.  The planet Neptune cyclically governs the activity of these schools.  In the human organism, Neptune has control over the pineal gland.  Only with sexual transmutation is this gland of the Gods activated.  Uranus controls the sexual glands and Neptune controls the pineal gland.  Uranus is practical Sexual Alchemy.  Neptune is esoteric study.  First we must study and then work in the laboratory.  Uranus has a sexual cycle of 84 years, and Neptune a cycle of 165 years.  The cycle of Uranus is that of an average human life.  The cycle of Neptune is that of public activity in certain schools of regeneration.  Only through the path of the Perfect Matrimony do we reach supra-sexuality.
