IChastity is the foundation of the Great Work

Chastity is laid down here as the ground on which initiation and the whole work rest. The Buddha required it of his disciples, the yogi is bound to it, and the pineal gland, which depends on the sexual glands, gives it a physical basis.

Whosoever wants to die in the Lord must wash their feet in the waters of renunciation. Thus this is how the Lord Buddha taught chastity as a basic foundation of Initiation. Buddha asked to his disciples the following: “Tell me O disciples, when is a disciple no longer a disciple? And Sariputra answered: “The good disciple must not break his vow of chastity. Whosoever breaks his vow of chastity is no longer a disciple of Sakyamuni.”

The Aquarian Message, 1960

Chastity is the foundation of the Great Work. All of the power of the Kundalini is found in the semen.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

The oriental sages say that sexual potency depends on the potency of the pineal gland. Now we can explain to ourselves the scientific basis of chastity.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

52. Vivekananda says in his lectures of Raja Yoga that the Yogi must be totally chaste in order to convert his sexual force into Hojas (christic energy).

A practice

101. The Yogi must be absolutely chaste; otherwise, he will fail totally.

The Mysteries of Fire, 1955

Only the pure and chaste can really understand the Holy Bible and figure out the deep mysteries that it holds. It so happens that those who have never read it are the ones that come to refute what the Sixth Commandment has to say. They usually state: “Well, does not the Bible tell us to be fruitful and multiply (Genesis 1: 28)?” This quoted order was only given to Adam, and only according to the wisdom of Genesis. This event occurred when he had not yet been given a wife, a woman, and at an evolutionary stage when he was still an androgynous creature.

IINever to spill the semen during our whole life

Scientific chastity is defined in a single rule: the seed is never spilled, at any time, for the whole of life. The passages give the rule in the Latin key of Huiracocha and in plain commands, and set it as the condition of all transmutation.

A practice

The Aquarian Message, 1960

We receive all these powers with the system of Brown-Sequard. The only requisite is never to spill the semen during our whole life. Brown-Sequard’s system is the Arcanum A.Z.F.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

A practice

In the union of the phallus arid the uterus is found the key of all power. The important thing is that the couples learn how to retire from the sexual act before the spasm, before the seminal loss. One must not spill the semen; neither within the uterus nor without, nor to the side, nor anywhere. Thus we speak clearly so people will understand, although some puritanical infrasexuals judge us to be pornographic.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

A practice

Whosoever wants to successfully work in the Magisterium of Fire must never spill the Cup of Hermes (must not spill the semen) because they will fail in the Great Work. The Double Current of Fire and Water must be exactly crossed in the Ninth Sphere in order to form the Symbol of the Infinite.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

A practice

Do not spill Hermes Cup, inebriate yourself with kisses and tenderness under the shade of the tree of knowledge, but do not swallow the golden apples from the Garden of Hesperides...

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

IIIThe Edenic man never spills his semen

Two kinds of human being are set side by side, the one who spills the seed and the one who keeps it. The angels are chaste and the demons spill; the sexual system of Eden is called the normal one, and a married person who spills is still counted a fornicator.

There exist schools of black yoga in India, which instruct their disciples in that tenebrous science. We can reduce all of the profound studies of occultism into one synthesis: The Serpent. If we spill the semen (reach the orgasm), then we convert ourselves into devils, and if we do not spill it, we then convert ourselves into angels.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

There exists the Luciferic man and there exists the Edenic man. The Luciferic man spills his semen. The Edenic man never spills his semen. Humanity is Luciferic. The ancient humanity of the Polar, Hyperborean and Lemurian races was the Edenic humanity. The Edenic state is a state of consciousness.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in The Root Races

Morning, the Angel of Venus! The hair of that child looked like a golden cascade falling over his ineffable back. He looked like a twelve-year-old boy. His face, as rosy as the aurora, was of ineffable and perfect facial features. His whole body was rosy, like the aurora. The boy brought flowers in his arms. We knelt down so that he would bless us, and he did! In the presence of that beautiful boy, one only feels desires of playing, one feels he is reliving his infancy, one feels he becomes a child! The director of the Chain, on his knees before the Angel of Love, consulted him about something. The boy answered him with great wisdom. We carefully observed the aura of that Angel: It is white, pure, innocent, perfect. The Angel Anael radiates splendorous light, divine light, ineffable light! That precious light radiates from his spinal medulla... In reality, the spinal medulla is the candelabra of the seven Vases of the Temple. The candelabra’s oil of pure gold is the Christonic Semen, which fornicators miserably ejaculate. The Angels are full of light and fire because they are absolutely chaste. The Demons are full of darkness, because they spill the semen miserably. In order to create, there is no need to ejaculate the Seminal Liquor. The Seed always passes through to the uterus without the need of ejaculating the Semen. The multiple combinations of the infinite Substance (the semen) are marvelous.

Esoteric Treatise of Theurgy, 1959

It is absurd to spill six or seven million spermatozoa when only one is needed to create. One single spermatozoon escapes easily from the sexual glands without the need to spill the semen. When man returns to the point of departure, when he re-establishes the sexual system of Eden, the sacred Serpent of Kundalini will arise victoriously again to convert us into Gods. The sexual system of Eden is normal sexuality. The sexual system of the Luciferic man is absolutely abnormal.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

The guarded cup

A practice

If the student wants a key to discover these people of the shadow, we shall give it to him with great pleasure. Speak to the person about White Sexual Magic without the spilling of the semen. Mention the scientific chastity to them. Tell them that you never spill your se men. This is the key. You can be sure that if the suspected person is really a black magician, he will try every means to convince you that Sexual Magic is bad for the health, that it is harmful, and will suggest to you the idea of spilling the semen. Be careful, good disciple, of such people who advise you to spill the Glass of Hermes. They are black magicians. Do not let them seduce you with their sweet words, exotic manners or strange names. Every devotee who spills the Glass of Hermes inevitably falls into the abyss of fatality. Be vigilant. Remember that the Path of the Perfect Matrimony is the Path of the Razor’s Edge. This path is full of danger, both within and without. Many are they who begin, but it is very difficult to find someone who does not leave the path.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Lust and Chastity

There will be new skies and new lands for the just. The just are chaste. Everyone who spills their semen even though they are married, is in fact a fornicator; for them, the fornicators, the abyss and the second death. This is the Law. May the Gnostics prepare for the great catastrophe that approaches. The day and hour no one knows except the Father. However this is already on our doorstep.

IVCelibacy is an absolutely false path

Two chapters stand here in his own order. The first answers a teacher who told single people to marry their feminine impulse to an inner soul, and holds that the inner bodies are born only of the union of man and woman; the second answers those who call Pythagoras and Jesus celibate, and names the vestals initiated virgins.

Swami X said the following in one of his lessons: “Unmarried people can unite spiritually within themselves the natural creative force of the soul by learning the correct method of meditation and its application to the physical life. Such people do not have to pass through the material experience of matrimony. They can learn to marry their feminine impulse with the masculine of their internal soul.”

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) Celibacy

If our beloved Gnostic disciples reflect on these words of Swami X, they will reach the conclusion that they are manifestly absurd. This idea of marrying the feminine physical impulse with the masculine of the internal Soul is one hundred percent false. This type of utopian marriage is impossible because man has not yet incarnated the Soul. With whom then, is he going to marry his physical feminine impulse? The intellectual animal still does not have a Soul. Whoever desires to incarnate his Soul, whoever wants to be a man with Soul must have the bodies astral, mental and causal. The human being as he is still does not have these internal vehicles. The astral ghost, the mental ghost, and the causal ghost are only ghosts. The majority of occultists believe that these internal ghosts are the true vehicles, and they are very mistaken. We need to be born in the superior worlds and the question of being born is a sexual problem.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in The Human Soul

No human being is born of theory. Not even a simple microbe can be born of theories. No one is born through the nostrils, nor through the mouth. Every living being is born of sex. “As above so below”. If man is born of sex here in the physical world, it is logical that above, in the internal worlds, the process is analogous. Law is law and the law is fulfilled. The Christ Astral is born as the body of flesh and blood is born. That is sexual. Only with Sexual Magic between husband arid wives can one give birth to that marvelous body. We can say the same of the Mental and the Causal. We need to engender those internal bodies and that is only possible with sexual contact because, as above so below arid, as below so above. No celibate can marry his feminine physical impulse with the masculine one of his internal Soul because no celibate can incarnate his Soul. To incarnate the Soul we must engender the internal bodies, and only through the sexual union of man and woman can they be engendered. No single man or any single woman can engender or conceive. The two poles are necessary to create. That is life.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in The Human Soul, The Law of Polarities

It is necessary to engender the internal vehicles. It is necessary to be born in the superior worlds. Celibacy is an absolutely false path. We need the Perfect Matrimony.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

After birth each vehicle needs its special nourishment. Only with its special nourishment does it develop and strengthen itself totally. The nourishment of these vehicles is based on the Hydrogen. In the physical organism different types of hydrogen are produced with which the different internal bodies of man are nourished.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

Every celibate is a sure candidate for the abyss and the second death. Only those who have elevated themselves to the state of the Super man can give themselves the luxury of enjoying the delights of love without sexual contact. We penetrate then, the amphitheatre of cosmic science. Nobody can attain the incarnation of the Superman in himself without Sexual Magic and the Perfect Matrimony.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

In the Lit Forge of Vulcan one is able to transmute Lead into Gold. In it, is Born the Child of Gold of Alchemy! This marvelous Child Is the Son of Man, the Sun-King, the Sun-Man.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959 Sexual Magic, Not Celibacy also in The Intimate Christ

Some esoteric students mistaken, confused, erred, object to these teachings and affirm that Pythagoras, Zoroaster, Jesus and other Initiates were celibate and they say that they never had a wife!

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959

In all the Temples of Mysteries there existed Sacred Vestals, the materialists, the disrespectful, the ill-intentioned, have arbitrarily attempted to call them sacred prostitutes. However, these Vestals were true INITIATED VIRGINS. Esoteric virgins, even though their bodies were no longer physiologically that of virgins.

VWe will never commit the mistake of recommending Sexual Abstinence

Abstinence and repression are set apart from chastity. Forced celibacy, the cloister that tries to imprison sex, and the mystic who despises it while the beast lives within are all weighed and found wanting; abstention is reserved for the twice-born who have finished the work.

Everything in life is a matter of customs. A fornicator is an individual who has intensely accustomed his genital organs to copulate. Yet, if the same individual changes his custom of copulation to the custom of no copulation, then, he transforms himself into a chaste person.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950 also in Lust and Chastity

The ignorant always proceed with ignorance. This is why many believed that only with mere sexual abstinence, the problem of their self-realisation was taken care of. This mistaken concept originated many communities of abstinent monks, who were organized into sects and religions which were ignoring the Maithuna.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

The struggle of many monks, nuns, anchorites, pseudo-yogis etc., etc., to entrap sex in their religious fanaticism, to confine it in the prison of their penitences, to muzzle it or sterilize it, to prohibit all creative manifestation etc., etc., converts the fanatic into a slave of his own passions, into a slave of sex incapable of thinking of any thing other than sex. Such people are sexual fanatics, the degenerates of infrasexuality. These people discharge themselves every night with revolting nocturnal emissions, or contract homosexual vices, or masturbate miserably. To want to imprison sex is like wanting to trap the Sun. A man like this is the most abject slave of sex, and with neither benefit nor real 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. For these people it would have been better had they not been born, or had a rock been tied to their neck and thrown to the bottom of the ocean.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

When the couples magnetize each other, things progress and happiness makes its nest in the home. When a man and a woman unite, something is created. Scientific chastity permits the transmutation of the sexual secretions into Light and Fire. Every religion which degenerates preaches celibacy. Every religion at its birth and in its glorious splendor preaches the Path of the Perfect Matrimony. Buddha was married and established the Perfect Matrimony. Unfortunately, the prophecy made by Lord Buddha was fulfilled with complete exactitude five hundred years later: that his dharma would be exhausted and that the Sangha would be divided into dissident sects. It was then that Buddhist monasticism, and the hatred of the Perfect Matrimony was born.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Lust and Chastity, The Law of Polarities

We met a poor mystical old woman. She looked at sex with repugnance, as something vulgar, dirty and gross; she considered herself to be totally chaste and pure. When we studied her Satan (her Guardian of the Threshold) to know her purifications, we were surprised and had to defend ourselves. That Satan attacked us in a horrible manner. The sexual wants of that poor soul were terrible; it is just that the body of a sick old woman was of no use to her for passionate satisfactions, that was all.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in Lust and Chastity

Many say, “Sex is vulgar, I am chaste and pure, I am very spiritual; I am no longer attracted by that garbage of sex,” etc.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in Lust and Chastity

Only those who manage to ride the donkey, those who tame the beast, are able to transform their Satan into a beautiful child full of beauty. But we have to ride the donkey, practice sexual magic, really face the beast to tame it and overcome it; that is the only way to achieve chastity.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in Lust and Chastity

Of what use is it to be an ineffable mystic if within, Satan is huge, robust and strong, awaiting the opportunities to satisfy its passions? In other words, the devil celebrating Mass. Let us work with our seven serpents, let us Christify ourselves. It is only when we are already gods that we will go beyond the sexual act. We will then enter the Celestial Jerusalem riding the donkey; then we will really be chaste because we will have killed the beast.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in Lust and Chastity

Chastity is the foundation of sanctity.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in Lust and Chastity

The twice born is a son of Mother Kundalini, and if he wishes to progress, he must love his Divine Mother, never forgetting Her. The sexual act is forbidden to the twice born for all eternity, and he must achieve absolute chastity in all areas of the mind.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in The Words He Uses, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

In Oriental Occultism, on the topic of Tantric esotericism, there is a lot of material to investigate, study, and analyze. Throughout Asia, there are numerous schools that agree with the virtue of continence and the non-ejaculation of seminal fluid. Some are partisans of the system of celibacy or brahmacharya; others practice the Maithuna, i.e. restrained sexual connection without attachment, but unfortunately, with orgasm and ejaculation of the precious seminal fluid.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Lust and Chastity

The best asana (sacred posture) for the Maithuna is the normal one breast against breast, face-to-face, solar plexus against solar plexus in order to form a perfect androgyny; later, the man and woman withdraw from the sexual act before orgasm and seminal ejaculation. Pseudo-esoteric and pseudo-occult reactionaries suppose they can awaken Kundalini by means of brahmacharya or forced celibacy. All initiates of authentic mystery schools know, through direct experience, that it is impossible to achieve the awakening and development of the seven grades of the power of fire without Tantric practices. There are two types of brahmacharya (sexual abstention) solar and lunar. Solar Brahmacharya is obligatory for all those who have already been born in the superior worlds with solar bodies, that is, for those who have left the Ninth Sphere.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in The Law of Polarities

Indeed, Mahatma Gandhi could have built Solar Bodies in the Flaming Forge of Vulcan (Sex) because he had a magnificent wife. However, he committed the mistake of abstinence; he believed that he could reach Self-Realization by renouncing sex. He was a sincere but mistaken soul.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

In the name of Truth we declare that we will never commit the mistake of recommending Sexual Abstinence.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

Intimate Self-Realization cannot be achieved based on Sexual Abstinence. The only thing that Lunar People will achieve with Sexual Abstinence is to charge themselves with terribly malignant Poisoninioskirian Vibrations.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

Obligatory Sexual Abstinence is only for Geniuses like Jesus, Hermes, Buddha, Zoroaster, and in general for all the Twice Born Initiates, the Children of the Sun, the Selected Ones, the Solar Race.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

In meditating upon saints of medieval times, I was able to discover that although these saints were celibate, they had in other lives worked in the Ninth Sphere; having developed the Sacred Fire with the Sahaja Maithuna.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

“Indeed, Taoists and equally so Buddhists observe continence (that has its bases in Sexual Magic); however, the first ones considered it as a form of detachment that should take them to liberation, while the second ones (in addition to their longing for attaining the Tao), were maintaining themselves chaste in order to concentrate, preserve their substance and to live a long time.

VIThe innocent chaste one

His chapter on Parsifal is given whole: the Grail promises the one made wise through pity, a boy kills the swan at the lake, and the question turns on who has never broken the commandment against fornication. The answer is to overcome sex and to love, not to eliminate it, and in the youth's resistance lies the salvation of Kundry.

After having solemnly narrated everything tha t happened in the past in those mysterious regions of the castle of Monsalvat, after the horrendous loss of the holy Lance, Gurnemanz, the voice of the past, the venerable Elder, continues expressing himself in the following words: Before the ravished sanctuary, orphan from the sublime relic, in fervent prayer lay Amfortas, a sign of pardon he entreated: The Grail was lighted by a very intense, dazzling and divine mystic radiance; a heavenly, holy vision then appeared to him and spoke, these words of mystic meaning shone before him: “Made wise through pity, the innocent chaste one, wait for him, THE ONE I CHOOSE.”

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970 The Innocent Chaste One

All of a sudden, oh Gods, the legends of the centuries state that from the lake are heard great scandalous shouts and cries from the Knights and Squires of the Holy Grail. From the side of the sacred lake, in the depth of the solitary forest, an ignorant boy who wandering around those shores, pointedly wounded with his bow a very beautiful swan, a perfect symbol of the Holy Spirit.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

But.., why so much agitation, tumult and disorder? Who has never wounded to death the Kala-Hamsa swan?

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

Who has never violated the sixth Commandment of the Law of God that states: Thou shalt not fornicate?

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

‘Whosoever is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone...”

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

Oh blessed, miraculous Hamsa, sexual force of the Third Logos, immortal Ibis, white dove of the Grail...!

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

The conquering of the ‘Ultra-Mare-Vitae’ or ‘Superliminal World’, and the ‘UltraTerrestrial’ is only possible with the initiatic stone (sex), within which the religionsynthesis, which was the primeval religion of humanity, the mystic wisdom of the Jinns or of Jano, is contained.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

To eliminate sex? Oh no! No! No!... To overcome it? This is ostensible... To love is the best...

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

In the resistance, in the chastity of this young man lies the salvation of Kundry (of the woman). Yet, she is distrustful. A strong man does not exist for her; the intellectual animals are very weak.

IBe chaste in thought, word and action

Chastity reaches past the act into the mind and the tongue. The most perfect chastity is required to christify the mind, and these are the short rules and the one spoken formula for driving out the carnal thought, with the reminder that the seed is fed by what one eats, breathes and thinks.

All those who have raised the serpent upon the staff must be absolutely chaste in thought, word and action. They must practice internal meditation daily, must not be gluttons, or consume liquor, or be carnivores. To be always clean, always tidy, always pure.

The work in the Laboratorium Oratorium is a true mystic ceremony that must not be profaned by animal desire or by evil thoughts. Sex is the Sanctum Sanctorum of the Temple. Before entering the Sanctum of the Sanctum, purify your mind of all impure thought. Esoteric Tests Initiatic trials are enclosed in Arcanum eight; each initiation, each degree has its ordeals. The initiation trials get more and more demanding in accordance with the initiatic degree.

A practice

Our human seeds are nurtured by three basic foods: First of all, by what we eat; second, by what we breathe, and third, by what we think. This is why we have asked you to pursue wholesome health, by staying away from vices, separating yourselves from the sins of the flesh and practicing chastity in your thoughts, words, and in actions. And do not forget that we ask this of you and not of outside people. That is why the Christ would say: “...neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feel, and turn again and rend you.” (Matthew 7:6).

IIThe danger of erotic images

An image taken in through the eyes falls into the mind like a stone into a lake. The cinema, the magazine on the corner and the lustful conversation waste the sexual energy in fantasy, and two exercises are given for transforming such an impression the moment it arises.

Imagine a tranquil lake. If you were to throw a stone in that lake, thou would see a series of waves coming from the center to the periphery; Take that same image to the mind. All of a sudden you will see a pornographic image; that image passes from the senses to the lake of thy mind, the latter then reacts with its waves before the external impact and its waves then knock strongly on our sexual organs, producing sexual excitement that is consumed in copulation.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

Have you ever meditated even once on the danger of erotic images? Remember that within your mind you have a skilful translator. This translator is the “I”, who always betrays the devouts of the Path. This “I” creates mental effigies, living demons of the Mental Plane. The devouts fornicate with these demons in the Mental Plane.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in Lust and Chastity, Netzach, The Three Traitors

The movie theatres are true temples of Black Magic of the Mental Plane, because the mind creates living effigies, tempting demons which are absolute duplicates of the erotic images that we have seen in the movies or in the newspapers or in pornographic magazines.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in Netzach, The Three Traitors

Not only does one fornicate physically; there is also fornication in the mental and astral worlds. Those who engage in lustful conversations, those who read pornographic magazines, those who attend cinemas where they show passionate erotic films, waste enormous reserves of sexual energy. These poor people use the finest and most delicate matter of sex, wasting it miserably in the satisfaction of their brutal mental passions. Sexual fantasy produces impotence of a psychosexual type. People with that kind of illness have normal erections; they are apparently normal men, but in the moment in which they try to connect the penis and the vulva, the erection abates making the phallus fall, leaving the man in the most horrible state of desperation. They have lived in sexual fantasy and when they really find themselves facing the crude sexual reality which has nothing to do with fantasy, they become confused and are unable to properly respond to reality The sexual sense is formidably subtle and tremendously rapid, thanks to its very fine and imponderable energy. The molecular level in which the sexual sense manifests is millions of times faster than thought waves. The logical mind and the fantasy as stumbling blocks for the sexual sense. When the logical mind with all its reasoning, or when sexual fantasy with all its erotic illusions wants to control the sexual sense or channel it into their illusions, then it is inevitably destroyed. The logical mind and sexual fantasy destroy the sexual sense when they try to put it at their service. Psychosexual impotence is the most terrifying tragedy that can afflict fanatical men and women or the purely rational type of person.

Continuing the study of the processes of the transformation of impressions, I will proceed with something else. For example, the image of a lustful woman reaches the mind or surges in the mind. Such an image is an impression, that is obvious. We could transform that lustful impression through comprehension. It would be enough, in that instant, for us to think that that woman will one day die and that her body will become dust in the cemetery, and if with the imagination we saw her body in the process of disintegration in the grave, this would be more than sufficient to transform that lustful impression into chastity. If it is not transformed, it will be added to the other I of lust.

The Revolution of the Dialectic also in Lust and Chastity, The Transformation of Impressions

A practice

There surges forth, for example, the memory of a lustful act. Then one has to pass through the mind the sacred chalice and the sacred lance, one has to say: Why do I have to profane the sacred with my morbid thoughts?

Thought, word and action

A practice

You go down the street; suddenly, you find a pornographic magazine on a comer, you start to look at it with some obscenity and the result is the creation of a new mental representation. That new representation is a bird of ill omen that gets into the cage of the mind to cause damage and fortify negative emotions and lust. The senses, therefore, must be controlled. Unfortunately, people don’t remember to control the senses and the mind, and that is serious.

The Fifth Gospel The Danger of Mental Effigies Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 1977 also in Lust and Chastity, The Mind

A practice

Instead of reading pornographic magazines, which leads to nothing but the creation of new mental effigies, it is worth studying the books of wisdom, the Holy Scriptures, etc. There is no doubt that true initiatory knowledge becomes fire and, therefore, power.

The Fifth Gospel The Danger of Mental Effigies Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 1977

A practice

So, it is in life that we must discover ourselves. We have to be watching our own words, our own thoughts, our own ideas. If suddenly a lustful thought, a morbid scene, comes to the mind, do you think it is going to come just like that? What does that indicate? There is no doubt that behind that disastrous “cinema” of the mind, behind that procession of morbid shapes, some “I” of lust is in activity.

IIIThe imagination of a newborn child

Absolute chastity is said to be impossible while a mechanical, morbid imagination works below the conscious one. The same section takes up onanism and the larvae it breeds, with the sulphur and the perfumes that dispel them.

Erotic images, morbid movies, indecent stories with double meaning, morbid jokes, etc., often unconsciously activate the mechanical sub-imagination. In-depth analysis has led us to the logical conclusion that erotic dreams and nocturnal pollutions are caused by the mechanical sub-imagination.

Fundamental Education, 1970

Absolute chastity is impossible as long as the mechanical sub-imagination exists.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Lust and Chastity

A practice

If we want absolute, complete and total chastity, we need to guard not only the conscious imagination, but also the mechanical imagination and the unconscious, automatic, subconscious, repressed sub-imagination.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Lust and Chastity, The Subconscious

If the adolescent cannot talk to his or her parents or teachers, he or she will then consult classmates that have possibly already deviated onto a false path. The result is quickly apparent, and the new adolescent, following mistaken advice, gives himself over to the vice of masturbation or deviates onto the path of homosexuality. The vice of masturbation totally destroys brainpower. It is necessary to know that there exists an intimate relationship between the semen and the brain. It is necessary to cerebrize the semen. It is necessary to semenize the brain.

Fundamental Education, 1970

A practice

We must transform our mechanical and morbid sub imagination and our automatic and lustful infra-imagination into the imagination of a newborn child. This kind of transformation is possible only with a special type of help, which comes from our Divine Mother Kundalini, the igneous serpent of our magical powers.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

A practice

By using Sulphur in the shoes the larvae of the Astral Body and the Incubii and Succubii which are formed through the erotic imagination are de stroyed. They are transparent like the air and absorb the vitality of the Being. In the cinemas, iniquitous dens of Black Magic, which screen morbid films, they act here to one, and one has to use sulphur in one’s shoes, and with this the larvae are destroyed. By burning sulphur on pieces of carbon, harmful thought forms and the larvae within a room are destroyed. Mercury serves to prepare “Lustral Water” in the bottom of a copper receptacle filled with water (this should not be a pan or dish) place mercury and a mirror. This is used to awaken clairvoyance. Nostradamus’ divinations were made with copper and mercury.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Clairvoyance

A practice

All they who feel themselves to be unclean, with larvae, or in misery, must utilise the 5 perfumes to perfume themselves, this is on the condition that they follow the Path of Perfect Chastity. In the Lumisials [Gnostics Churches] the custom of cleansing those brothers who feel themselves to be covered in larvae should be established. In this way their souls and their bodies will receive the benefits.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Lust and Chastity

A practice

The masturbating males engender ‘subcubi’ and the masturbating females engender ‘incubi.’ These larvae incite their creators to incessantly repeat the act of masturbation, which gave them life. They have the same color of the air, therefore, they cannot be seen by simple sight. An efficacious remedy in order to liberate oneself from these larvae is to carry sulfur powder inside of our shoes. The ethereal vapors of the sulfur disintegrate them.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

I have thoroughly studied The Elementals by Franz Hartmann. He assures that if a person wastes his sacred sperm through masturbation and lustful erotic images, he creates, if he is a male, a feminine representation, that is, a succubus –female–. But if a woman does the same thing, she creates an incubus –which is of a male nature–. It has been said that they are transparent like glass. They cause great damage because they continue to feed on the vital body of their progenitors.

IVAbsolute chastity is only possible when the Ego is very well dead

Many who were chaste in the physical world failed when tested in the deeper regions of the mind, and priests who thought themselves pure now live in the hell of Mercury. No one should call himself chaste; the flower of chastity is born only when lust is comprehended in every level.

People covet the virtue of chastity, but only by transmuting and sublimating the sexual energy and comprehending all of the processes of lust in all the hidden levels of the subconscious, does one annihilate this horrible vice and in a natural and sublime way the exotic flower of chastity is born in us.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Envy, The Flower That Is Born, The Science of Meditation, The Subconscious

We must watch over the “I” within all of the levels of consciousness, because many loyal and sincere devouts who achieved chastity in this valley of tears became terrible fornicators within the world of the Cosmic Mind.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in Lust and Chastity, Netzach

A practice

We need to attain supreme chastity in all of the levels of consciousness, and we need to give even the last drop of blood for this adorable humanity.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in Lust and Chastity, Netzach

In the physical world, some people attain perfect chastity and have the luxury of contemplating the nude body of a person of the opposite sex without feeling any lust. It is obvious that these exceptional people believe they have arrived at absolute chastity in the subconscious territories of the mind, not even remotely suspecting that both their sub imagination and subjective mechanical infra-imagination betray them below the limits of the intellectual sphere.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition, Lust and Chastity, The Subconscious

A practice

These people may have a pure imagination, but ignore the fact that in regions, unknown to their intellect, in their sub imagination and infra-imagination, they can be terrible fornicators. When this type of person undergoes a test of chastity in the superior worlds or in the submerged worlds of nature or when they are placed in the different states, situations, or time of the infraconscious or subconscious, they fail lamentably. Many people write us asking for a remedy for nocturnal pollutions. We always answer these sick people with the recipe of Sexual Magic, the Maithuna. Those who customarily restrain themselves in the sexual act to avoid ejaculating the seminal liquor cure themselves of nocturnal pollutions.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition, Lust and Chastity

A certain initiate suffered unspeakably because he failed all tests of chastity in the infernal worlds, although he had achieved perfect chastity in the physical world. That initiate was mortified. He pleaded and begged, asking for superior help from his Mother Kundalini. His Divine Mother helped him. She, the igneous serpent of our magical powers, pleaded for him, Her son the initiate, and he was called to judgment before the tribunals of karma.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in The Klipoth, The Law of Karma, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

Absolute chastity is only possible when the Ego is very well dead. Many anchorites who in this physical world reached purity, a soul’s virginity, chastity, candor, etc., failed, faltered when they were submitted to sexual ordeals within the supra-sensible worlds. They fell as Amfortas, the King of the Grail when amidst the impure arms of Kundry, Gundryggia, that impetuous blond woman whom they called Herodias.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970 also in Lust and Chastity

Someone could, for example, have achieved chastity in the 48 subconscious regions and fail in the 49th.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Lust and Chastity

Many men and virtuous women that called themselves chaste and innocent are now inhabitants of the second Dantestic circle.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Lust and Chastity

Let no one then, call themselves chaste: “Whoever feels sure, let him look behind and not fall.”

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Lust and Chastity

There are men who exert themselves in order to attain the virtue of chastity, but when they see a beautiful woman on the street, they pay her some beautiful compliments, and if the woman is a friend, they can do nothing less than ply her with attentions, tell her beautiful words, admire her, praise her beautiful qualities, etc. The secret intentions behind all that coquetry is found in the secret trigger of subconscious, tenebrous and submerged lust.

The Revolution of the Dialectic also in The Flower That Is Born

When we comprehend without any effort whatsoever all the tricks of lust, the latter is annihilated and in its place is born the immaculate flower of chastity.

The Revolution of the Dialectic also in The Flower That Is Born

Kali and Durga, the two wives of Lord Shiva, even though they are contradictory, in the end they are in agreement for our own good. But –and this what is important– the Adepthood is different. Whoever wants to become an Adept has to defeat Kali, to break those rings which have him constrained, which he carries in his heredity. Do you know what it means to achieve absolute chastity? To rebel in fact against the same genes that one carries in his biology, against the heredity of his ancestors, his parents, his grandparents, his great-great-grandparents, his ancestors –who were all fornicators–; to rebel against this.

The Fifth Gospel The Binary Serpentine Power also in Lust and Chastity

Master: We have all had the virginity of the body; what is important is to reconquer the virginity of the soul. And for that it is indispensable to dissolve the “I” of psychology. It is nothing more than a set of inhuman psychological elements that we carry inside us; that is all.

VComplete control over the senses and over the mind

He tells, in his own lecture and in order, how he kept the eyes, the word and the body perfectly chaste yet failed every trial in the superior worlds. Comprehension and absolute abstinence did not help, and only the death of the aggregate behind the failures brought complete chastity.

In that time, many years ago, the inevitable always happened to me; I failed in decisive moments and I would unfortunately swallow the apples of the garden of Hesperides. In the physical world I kept the most absolute chastity. The disaster always occurred to me out of the body in the superior worlds; in the presence of many ineffable ladies, I would fail.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Lust and Chastity

Master: Sure, and right now I will finish illustrat-ing it to you. Today I mentioned part of an experience that I lived, but now I want to narrate it in a complete way. Many, many years ago, in truth –and I am going to repeat the narration and extend what I have already narrated in the meeting we had here earlier–I was failing all the trials in relation to chastity.

The Fifth Gospel Didactic Synopsis of Mystical Death also in Lust and Chastity

What happened was that in the physical world, I had achieved complete control over the senses and over the mind in such a cultivated way that I would never read, for example, a pornographic magazine, I would never observe a pornographic scene; I learned to look at the opposite sex from the waist up without ever stopping to observe the shape of the calves, or things like that which men love to look at so closely and, to be more frank, so perversely.

The Fifth Gospel Didactic Synopsis of Mystical Death

So, my senses were absolutely cultivated –if you observe the way I use my sight, you will realize that it is cultivated–. Naturally, under these conditions, chastity was absolute as far as the physical world was concerned. I also cultivated the word in an extraordinary way; I did not let any lustful or double meaning words, etc. to flow in the verb. And in that way, everything was correct. But in the Superior Worlds of Cosmic Consciousness the question was very serious, extremely serious.

The Fifth Gospel Didactic Synopsis of Mystical Death also in Lust and Chastity

They submitted me to rigorous trials of chastity and I failed, despite all my systems of psychological control, despite all my psychological judo, despite all my techniques. It was enough for them to put around me a broom wearing a skirt, to immediately make me “go after her”, even if she was a very horrible poor old woman, it did not matter; what was important was that she had a skirt.

The Fifth Gospel Didactic Synopsis of Mystical Death also in Lust and Chastity

The matter was serious. I felt very sad. I resorted to Krishnamurti’s system of “integral comprehension and discernment”. The system of meditation was profound, I was trying to discern the process of lust, the process of desire; I wanted to comprehend to be able to eliminate, but everything turned out to be useless. After a day of terrible work on myself, I was failing again the trials of chastity. For that reason, I was suffering frighteningly.

The Fifth Gospel Didactic Synopsis of Mystical Death also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition, Lust and Chastity, The Science of Meditation

I became skinny and horrible; I had no sexual relations of any kind, so that abstinence was absolute. In such conditions, I should have been victorious in all the trials of chastity; but everything was useless.

The Fifth Gospel Didactic Synopsis of Mystical Death also in Lust and Chastity

Of course, I was free of such an infernal psychic aggregate, and when I was submitted to new trials in the matter of chastity, I came out victorious, and I continued to come out victorious and I never failed again. Since then I attained complete chastity.

IThe morbid outcome of the prostitution of the mind

The pollution is traced to its cause: the erotic image is stolen by the I, becomes a living effigy on the mental plane, and the dreamer fornicates with it in sleep. Dark adepts also assault the initiate in dreams to keep the fire from rising.

How a pollution is born

1An erotic image entersthrough the eyes2The I seizes itand feeds on it3It becomes a living effigyon the plane of the mind4In sleep the dreamerfornicates with the effigy5The seed is lostin the nightWhere it is cutBy day: guard the eyes and the mind.On waking from such a dream: work on that I,and ask the Divine Mother to disintegrate it.
The chain this part traces, from the eye to the night, and the two places he cuts it.

Another brother who was also a bachelor wanted to practice with imaginary women! This is very ominous! When the mind creates a mental effigy, this effigy acquires consciousness and converts itself into a tempting demon of the Mental World. During sleep, this effigy discharges us sexually through nocturnal pollutions (wet dreams).

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition, Netzach, The Language of Dreams

For instance, we go to the movie-theater where we watch an erotic movie; there, the office worker within his cerebral suite collects all the perceptions. The office worker studies the movie; he contemplates it; he enjoys himself with it. Thereafter, the secretary, by his own whim, on the sly and in secrecy, plunders the erotic images and reproduces them in Nature’s Mental Plane. This is how these images convert themselves into living effigies of the Mental Plane.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in Netzach

Later on, during our normal sleep, the mind, bottled up with the “I,” fornicates with those mental effigies. This is why nocturnal pollutions occur.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in Lust and Chastity, Netzach

Nocturnal pollutions (wet dreams) are the morbid outcome of the prostitution of the mind.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

Whoever wants to regenerate himself has to change this movement and make these creative energies return inwards and upwards. This is even contrary to the interests of Nature. The tenebrous then feel offended and attack the Initiate terribly. The Lady adepts of the Black Hand sexually assault the initiate in order to discharge him. This occurs especially during sleep. Thus wet dreams occur. The student dreams of beautiful women who discharge him sexually to hinder in him the ascent of the Fire through the medullar channel.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in The Language of Dreams

A practice

When we look at a pornographic image, it injures the senses and then passes to the mind. The psychological “I” intervenes in these things, stealing the erotic image for itself, in order to reproduce it in the mental plane. In the world of the mind that image is transformed into a living effigy. During sleep the dreamer fornicates with that living effigy which, like an erotic demon tempts him for the satisfaction of the lust. The result is wet dreams with all their horrible con sequences. No true devotee of the path should visit cinemas because they are dens of black magic. The erotic figures of the screen give rise to mental effigies and erotic dreams. In addition the cinemas are full of diabolic elementals created by the human mind. Those malign elementals damage the mind of the spectators.

IIThe glass which is filled inevitably spills

Here the pollution is shown as the fruit of abstention. Those who believe themselves chaste because they have no spouse, and the yogis of brahmacharya, lose by night the seed they kept by day.

There were also some hallucinated mystics who pleaded in favor of an absurd type of chastity, which some religious sects preach, but do not practice. They ignore that Nature is in rebellion against that harmful abstinence, which causes nocturnal pollutions and the decalcification of the organism through the urethra. Sickness is the consequence. Men were made for women and women for men, because Nature is wise in its designs. What man and woman have to learn is to enjoy themselves without hurting each other, and the answer for this is ‘sexual magic’.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950 also in Lust and Chastity

Many mystical Initiates believe that they are chaste because they do not have a spouse. Nevertheless, they have nocturnal pollutions. This is how they miserably loose their Christic semen, within which is found the Genesis of the Great Life.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957 also in Lust and Chastity

A practice

The yogi must have the Vase of Hermes hermetically closed. The yogi who suffers from nocturnal pollutions, or who fornicates daily or constantly, is like a man who wants to fill a bottomless pitcher or barrel. The yogi must transmute the seminal liquor into seven types of energy.

The Yellow Book, 1959

In reality, the decision to forbid the Arcanum A.Z.F. caused more damage than good, because the Brahmacharya system resulted in failure since no one was capable of remaining in Brahmacharya (absolute abstention). Those who apparently maintained it suffer from nocturnal pollutions. This is how they lost the semen they accumulated and became victims of the abyss.

The Yellow Book, 1959

The abstention that infrasexuals preach is absolutely impossible. Nature rebels against this type of abstention. Then nocturnal pollutions occur, which inevitably ruin the organism. Every individual who abstains suffers from nocturnal seminal spillage. The glass which is filled inevitably spills. The luxury of abstention is only possible for those who have in fact already reached the Kingdom of the Superman. They have already converted their organisms into a machine of eternal sexual transmutation. They have already trained their glands with Sexual Magic. They are God-Men. They are indeed the result of many years of Sexual Magic and rigorous education in sexual physiology. The Initiate loves the great classical music and feels repugnance for the infernal music of common people. Afro-Cuban music awakens the lowest animal depths in man. The Initiate loves the music of the great composers. The Magic Flute of Mozart for example, reminds us of an Egyptian initiation.

IIIThe only remedy for nocturnal pollutions

The cure he gives is the habit of restraint in the sexual act, which turns the current inward so that the mind refrains even in a dream. Erotic dreams may continue while the ego lives, but the loss of the seed stops.

Nocturnal pollutions are radically healed with the Arcanum A.Z.F.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

A practice

When the human being becomes accustomed to the practice of Sexual Magic daily, it is impossible for the Tenebrous ones to discharge his valuable Seminal reserve; not merely that, but also, nocturnal emissions end, if there were any.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959

A practice

Take care of your seminal liquor. Avoid nocturnal pollutions with the Arcanum A.Z.F.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

A practice

We constantly receive many letters at the Patriarchal Headquarters of the Gnostic Movement here in Mexico from people complaining of having erotic dreams accompanied by nocturnal pollutions. We reply by suggesting the Maithuna, Sexual Magic, A.Z.F. (sexual union without ejaculation of semen) as the only remedy for nocturnal pollutions.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

If we turn on the television, automatically a succession of scenes and figures pass before our eyes. The imagination is like a television screen, which is triggered by any sexual shock, not only in the intellectual sphere, but in the deeper levels of the mind as well. Any dreamer can be affected in the internal worlds by morbid representations. Those representations produce erotic dreams and nocturnal pollutions. If the dreamer customarily restrains himself in the sexual act, he will have erotic dreams, but not nocturnal pollutions. If the dreamer has transformed his sub imagination and infraimagination into that of an innocent child, erotic dreams are impossible they totally disappear.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition, The Language of Dreams

When sexual energy is centrifugal, when it flows outwards, seminal discharges and nocturnal pollutions are the result. With the Arcanum A.Z.E or Sexual Magic, the various currents of sexual energy reverse their course, become centripetal, and flow inwards. Seminal discharges and nocturnal pollutions are impossible when the sexual energy flows from the exterior to the interior.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

Innumerable letters from many single students suffering from nocturnal pollutions are constantly arriving to this patriarchal headquarters of the Gnostic movement.

Runic Magic, 1969

Certainly, nocturnal pollutions are something filthy, dirty and execrative. We always answer that the medicine against such subjective states is sexual magic, the Maithuna. However, we must clarify this matter. While we remain very alive, in other words, while we remain with the ego existing in the forty-nine regions of the subconsciousness, erotic dreams inevitably will continue.

Runic Magic, 1969 also in The Language of Dreams

A practice

What occurs is that with the Sahaja Maithuna (sex-yoga), the Chela (disciple) becomes accustomed to refraining the sexual impulse often. Therefore, when an erotic dream is produced, the mind refrains the sexual impulse by instinct. This is how we avoid what is called a nocturnal pollution or the lamentable loss of the vital liquor.

IVAll sexual scenes are caused by the Ego

An herbal remedy is followed by his later and harder answer: as long as the I that produces the dream exists, the emissions remain. On waking from such a dream one works on that I and asks the Divine Mother to disintegrate it.

A practice

People who suffer from nocturnal pollutions or abundant overflowing of semen must daily rub their genital parts with hot oil of chamomile and before going to sleep place over the genitalia a patch of cabbage leaves with oil.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978) also in The Herbal Pharmacopoeia

Master: Well, I am going to tell you something: a lot of letters rain down on me from people who have nocturnal emissions. Almost all of them demand from me some recipe to cure themselves of that painful illness, and I always reply to them saying that as long as the “I’s” of emissions continue to exist in them, there will be emissions!

A practice

Let us suppose that a person X has a morbid dream; as a consequence, a nocturnal emission comes. What should we do? Well, at the precise instant of waking up, one will have to work intensely on that “I” which produced the emission. One has to appeal to Devi Kundalini-Shakti for her to disintegrate it; and one will have to continue for a tough period of time to work on that “I” until at last it pulverizes.

The Fifth Gospel Didactics for Buddhist Annihilation Conference at the end of the Missionary Course – Guadalajara, Jalisco. Mexico – From June 15 to August 30. 1976 also in The Language of Dreams, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

Master: Well, I am going to tell you: all sexual scenes are caused by the Ego. Simple “I’s” of lust fornicate incessantly in the astral world, even in the mental world and even in the causal world as well. Nocturnal emissions arise as a consequence of such pornographic dreams.

The Fifth Gospel The Need to Develop the Inner Mind Interview – Mexico City – 1975 also in Lust and Chastity, The Language of Dreams

A lot of people have asked me about this thing of the nocturnal emissions. I have always answered them: such emissions do not disappear as long as one does not put an end to passionate or morbid dreams, and this type of dream does not stop as long as one does not put an end to all the “I’s” of lust. As long as there are “I’s” of lust, well, there are pornographic dreams; and as long as there are pornographic dreams, there are emissions. So, there is no other alternative than to eliminate the “I’s” of lust in order to cancel the nocturnal emissions, to liquidate them forever; there is no other choice. Any other remedy is absurd, it does not work.

IThe vow of eternal chastity

For those who cannot work with a spouse, the way is the sacrifice of abstinence and a vow. Married disciples whose circumstances forbid the work, and the old and the sick, are told what to keep and what to postpone; the celibate who is truly chaste also advances in transmutation and purification, though the Kundalini awakens only through the couple's work.

A practice

9. A fornicator or an adulterer can never convert his material-mind into Christ-mind. 10. The Masters who are married will christify themselves by means of sexual magic. 11. The Masters who are single will christify their minds by means of mental transmutation and the sacrifice of sexual abstinence.

A practice

In this manner our single disciples of both sexes can transmute their sexual energy. The sexual energies are also transmuted via aesthetic sensibility, love of music, sculpture, and with long walks etc.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

A practice

Unmarried men and unmarried women can transmute and sublimate their sexual energies with this supplication and these mantrams, taking the sexual energies to the heart. It is urgent to sublimate the sexual energies to the heart. Know that in the Heart Temple, the creative energies blend with the forces of the Christ and are elevated to the superior worlds. The Inner Christ lives in the Heart Temple. The Cross of Initiation is received in the Heart Temple. This mantric prayer is also a formula of priestly power that the Magician uses in his practices of internal meditation in order to arrive at the feet of his Divine Mother. If meditation is perfect, your adorable Mother will listen to your call and come to you. You will then be able to speak with her about the ineffable things of paradise. She is Devi Kundalini. She is the Papess of the Tarot. The Divine Mother always listens to her devotees. In the sacred land of the Vedas, the Enlightened Ramakrishna was one of the greatest devotees of the Divine Mother.

IIITo practice chastity with our spouse for our entire life

Marriage is the place of the work, and its chastity lasts a lifetime with one spouse. The passages cover the purity of the home, the preparation of a couple to conceive, the child conceived without loss of the seed, and what mothers teach their daughters.

A practice

It is necessary to dominate the carnal passions and cultivate the purity and sanctity of marriage.

Book of the Virgin of Carmel, 1952

A practice

The Gnostic Esotericist shall only be able to have sexual contact when he gets married. The fires cannot be awakened without sexual magic. Nothing is achieved in these studies without chastity. Kill desire, the “I” and your thoughts, and you shall be a liberated one. True marriage has nothing to do with social or religious formulism of this barbaric humanity. The authentic marriage is the union of a couple, in spirit, soul and sex; the true marriage should be pure like the lotus flower.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in Lust and Chastity

A practice

Well then, the esoterist disciples should abstain from all “immodest action,” and should only work with the “Arcane A.Z.F.” (Sexual Magic) in the home: with their WifePriestess, and those who practice the “Arcane A.Z.F.” with different women violate the Law, they are “immodest” They are adulterers?

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959

A practice

When Gnostic matrimonies want to give a physical body to a great Master of the White Lodge, then they must inevitably descend to the ninth sphere with Arcanum number nine of the Tarot. That Arcanum is sex. The mother of the child of wisdom must prepare herself for a period of nine months before she can create with the power of KriyaShakti. During this period of time, she must pray a lot to the Divine Mother, begging her with all her heart and with all her soul to give her the joy of conceiving in her womb a great Master, in order to help humanity. The preparation is for nine months; nine months of chastity, saintliness and meditation before she can perform the secret act with her husband.

A practice

The couple must not eat meat.3 The couple must be vegetarians. The couple must be chaste in thought, words and action.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in Lust and Chastity

The Initiate only unites sexually with his wife in order to practice Sexual Magic. Unhappy are they who unite with woman to spill the semen. The Initiate is not suddenly overwhelmed by that feeling of death which fornicators experience when they lose their semen. Man is one half; woman, the other half. During the sexual act one experiences the happiness of being complete. Those who do not spill the semen conserve that happiness eternally. It is not necessary to spill the semen to create a child. The spermatozoon that escapes without the loss of semen is a selected spermatozoon, a spermatozoon of a superior type, a totally mature spermatozoon. An infant of a very high order is the result of this form of fecundation. This is how we are able to form a race of Supermen.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Love, Love — The Two Halves, Lust and Chastity

A practice

Modern times demand that our daughters receive a solid intellectual and spiritual preparation. It is indispensable that mothers teach their daughters the Mysteries of Sex when they reach fourteen years of age. It is right that they should walk on the triple path of Truth, Love and Chastity.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Lust and Chastity

A practice

The modern woman should have a profession to make a living. It is necessary that fathers and mothers understand that their daughters also need to grow spiritually and to reproduce with the Perfect Matrimony. Nevertheless everything must be done properly and with order. It is absurd that daughters should go out alone on the streets, or in parks, or to cinemas or dances with a boyfriend. Since they have not yet killed the Animal Ego, they are easily sexually seduced, and fail miserably. Daughters should always be accompanied by their parents or family members and should never be alone with a boyfriend. Parents should never impede the marriage of their daughters. Nevertheless, I repeat, do everything with Order and according to the Law. It is necessary to reproduce with chastity and to grow spiritually. That is the Path of the Perfect Matrimony.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Lust and Chastity

A practice

To create the solar bodies, we must work in the Maithuna, Sexual Magic, without spilling the semen; we must work in the fiery forge of Vulcan, in the Ninth Sphere (sex). This si more bitter that bile twenty or thirty years of daily sexual connection with only one spouse without ever spilling even one drop of semen, without permitting the semen to escape from the organism.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

The more chaste the woman is, the more she transmutes and sublimates sexual energy, the more she produces within her a physical and spiritual revival...

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

IThe fire of chastity is the fire of the Holy Spirit

Only in the chaste does the serpent rise through the spine and open the churches. The fire of Pentecost, the eyesalve that opens sight and the Holy Spirit itself are each tied to the kept seed.

The fire of chastity is the fire of the Holy Spirit, it is the fire of Pentecost, it is the fire of Kundalini... It is the fire, which Prometheus plundered from heaven... It is the sacred flame of the temple, ignited by the vestals... It is the flame of triple incandescence... It is the chariot of fire on which Elijah went up into heaven.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

There are sects where people end up speaking in tongues; the fanatics believe that the Holy Spirit has already entered them. Those are poor victims of demonic entities that possess them. In order to really receive the Holy Spirit, one needs to be pure and chaste, because the one who fornicates, sins against the Holy Spirit.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in Lust and Chastity

When chaste, the human being can raise the igneous serpent of magical powers through the central canal of the spinal medulla. This Pentecostal fire has the power to open the seven churches. The advent of the sacred fire of Pentecost takes place when the solar atoms make contact with the lunar atoms in the coccygeal bone, near the Triveni. Then, the igneous serpent rises from the bottom of the sacred ark. This ark of the Covenant is the sexual organs.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

The eyesalve of chastity is the raw matter of the Great Work. It is the Holy Collyrium which opens our eye with polivoyance. The potency of the pineal gland depends upon the potency of the sexual glands.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in Lust and Chastity, The Chakras

No living being can positively awaken the Kundalini without having arrived at supreme chastity. It is indispensable that we wash our feet in the waters of renunciation. “Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.” (Luke 13:24) It is urgent to know that the straight, narrow and difficult door is sex. We departed from Eden through the door of sex, and only through this door may we enter into Eden.

The Yellow Book, 1959

When we know how to adore and to kiss with infinite tenderness and supreme chastity, the Serpent rises. When we ardently enjoy lust and spill the cup. The Serpent becomes drunk with madness and is precipitated towards the Atomic Infernos of Man.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

IIChastity converts us into Gods

What chastity gives is listed plainly: prophecy, memory, the ojas that gives words their force, recovered vigour, and success in rites, mirrors and trials. It is also the condition he sets for the beginner who asks for help in ordinary affairs, forty days of it.

One of the most difficult tests is called the test of the Direne, since during this test, the disciple will have to prove their chastity to the maximum, in flesh and bone and in the face of the most terrible temptations.

The Elementary Level Perfect Matrimony, 1950

A practice

“Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, (the fire) that no man take thy crown.” Do not let Satan take it from you. Do not waste the sacred wine, be chaste. “Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out; and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which comet down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.”

The Aquarian Message, 1960

A practice

“CONJURATION OF THE SEVEN”! If the student is not armed with the Sword of Justice, if he is not absolutely Chaste, if he does not follow the Path of Sanctification, he could easily lose his life in those works, or just as well, could arrive at the most terrible despair, the most frightening fear with all its very serious consequences for the physical body, on risking himself by invoking demons.

Esoteric Treatise of Theurgy, 1959 also in Esoteric Treatise of Theurgy, Fear

The redemption of man is found in the Serpent, but we must be on guard against the guile of the Serpent. One should contemplate the forbidden fruit and inhale its aroma, but remember the words of the Lord Jehovah: “If thou eatest of this fruit ye shall die.” We should enjoy the happiness of love and adore woman. A good painting enchants us, a beautiful piece of music can transport us to ecstasy, but a beautiful, adorable woman makes us want to possess her immediately. She is the living representation of God the Mother. The sexual act with the one we adore has its unquestionable de lights. Sexual pleasure is a legitimate right of man. Enjoy the happiness of love but do not spill the semen. Do not commit sacrilege. Do not be a fornicator. Chastity converts us into Gods. Fornication converts us into demons.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Lust and Chastity

A practice

You need memory to remember your internal experiences. Do not spill the semen. Know that in the semen are millions of microscopic brain cells. You must not lose those cells. SPECIAL NOURISHMENT TO DEVELOP THE POWER OF THE MEMORY Prepare your breakfast with acid fruits, and almonds ground with honey from the bee. In this way you provide the brain with the necessary atoms for the memory.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Memory, The Perfect Matrimony

A practice

Whoever may want to become a GOD, must not spill the semen.

Christ Consciousness, 1952

Only the true chaste man and woman can elevate their OJAS and can store it within their brains. Chastity has always been considered as the highest virtue.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Lust and Chastity

Any fornicator can utilize beautiful words and express beautiful thoughts without causing the least bit of an impression in those who listen to him. However, the chaste person, even when he lacks beautiful language, can enchant an auditorium with his words, because all of his movements and mannerisms, words and looks carry the power of OJAS.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Lust and Chastity

We also find the mysteries of the Ninth Sphere in the Apocalypse of the Holy Bible: “And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.” (Apocalypse 7- 4). By adding the numbers kabalistically we will obtain the number Nine, 1 + 4 + 4 = 9, which is the Ninth Sphere, sex. Only they who have attained absolute Chastity will be saved.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Lust and Chastity

1. Sir, I have a business and lately the status of my economic situation has been very difficult; my establishment is running terribly; my clients have left me. What should I do? Above all, my dear friend, I must tell you that you need to observe 40 days of absolute chastity, since I understand that you have lived a very profane life, you have been quite a fornicator, you have stupidly wasted your sexual energies.

Beyond Death also in Lust and Chastity

A practice

Whereas you are a profane man who knows nothing about our esoteric studies, the only thing that I can advise to you is to observe at least 40 days of absolute chastity in order to accumulate sexual energies and give force to your pineal gland. In this way, you will improve your economic situation; you will have a favorable change.

Beyond Death also in Clairvoyance, Lust and Chastity

A practice

Follow my advice; do many charitable works, observe chastity, bathe with aromatic herbs, such as peppermint, chamomile, eucalyptus, walnut, etc. Use these plants for 40 days in your daily bath and, I repeat, do charitable works by the ton; only in this way can you improve your economic situation.

Beyond Death also in Gratitude and Kindness, Lust and Chastity

But fornicating men and women do not respect the laws of Nature, and they do completely the opposite. Notice also that the woman is called the weaker sex, although she handles man at her own will. Yet, when he recuperates his lost chastity, he starts looking younger, he regains vigor and beauty, just like the animals that man forces abstinence upon, in order to exploit them. When man recuperates his lost chastity, he also recuperates the wand of command, the stall of the patriarchs. He liberates himself from sex and dominates it.

Dissolving the I, 1964

The light within

8 passages

IIIIf the Initiate violates his vows of chastity, he falls

The cost of the fall is counted in vertebrae: one discharge drops the fire and takes the powers with it. The lamp goes out, the serpent turns downward, the Mother withdraws, and a revered priest of Mu is shown falling by the black tantra.

A certain Master of Major Mysteries said that before reaching the High Initiation, he had the weakness of falling into a certain fault, therefore his Kundalini descended four cannons. Consequently, in order to reconquer them again, he had to struggle very much. The ordeals of Initiation are extremely severe. The disciple has to follow a perfect, holy and chaste path. Thus, when reaching the Intimate, the human being becomes converted into a Master of Major Mysteries and into a Theurgist.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

A single ejaculation or sexual discharge is enough for a fuse to be burnt, that is to say, for the nervous cord through which the Kundalini ascends, to fail; then the fire falls one or two canyons according to the magnitude of the fault, and, consequently, loses the acquired powers.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in Zodiacal Course

If you have your lamp always filled with oil, the temple will always be full of light. If you spill the oil of your lamp, the fire will be extinguished, and you shall sink in the most profound outer darkness, where only tears and the gnashing of teeth are heard. The semen is the dwelling of the fire. If you spill the semen you will lose the fire and you will sink in deep darkness. The semen is the oil of your lamp. If you spill the semen, your lamp will go out and you shall sink within the darkness of the Lucifers. In other terms, Lord Jehovah said, “Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” In Eden, the elementals do not spill the semen. When we spill the semen, the lamp remains without fuel, the flame then becomes extinguished and we enter the darkness of Lucifer. The semen is the fuel of the lamp.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

6th - When man ejaculates the Seminal Liquor in exercises of Black Magic, when he follows the Doctrine of the Nicolites, or simply, when he never repents of ejaculating the Seminal Liquor, then the Fiery Serpent of our Magical Powers, in stead of rising through our medullar channel, descends to the Atomic Infernos of man, and becomes the horrible tail of Satan.

Esoteric Treatise of Theurgy, 1959

Some devotees eat meat, drink alcohol, and enjoy sexual passion daily even when they never spill the semen. The result is that they polarize the fire within the chakras of the lower abdomen, and they lose the happiness of enjoying the lotus of one thousand petals (the Church of Laodicea). This chakra is the “Diamond Eye” which grants us perfect ecstasy, the ineffable happiness of the human Gods, and the power to consciously project, in spirit and in truth, in order to travel within the regions of Nirvana.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Chakras, The Yellow Book

This warrior-Priest was shining as a flame of gold under the thick jungle of the sun. Upon his symbolic shield, Vulcan had engraved many prophesies and terrible warnings. Woe! Woe! Woe! This man committed the error of betraying the Mysteries of Vulcan. The Lucifers of that epoch who were floating in the atmosphere of the ancient continent Mu taught him Black Tantrism, the Maithuna with the ejaculation of the Ens Seminis. What is most grave in this matter is that this man who was so loved and venerated by all the world allowed himself to be convinced and began to practice this type of pernicious Sexual Magic with certain women.

Runic Magic, 1969

We can only attain the Incarnation of the Father when we have devel oped the Seven Grades of the Power of Fire. Clearly, if the Initiate violates his vows of chastity, he falls. If we kabalistically add the numbers of Arcanum 16 it gives: 1 + 6 = 7 the Seven Grades of the Power of Fire, the “Seven Steps of the Mind”. If the Initiate falls, he is fulminated by Arcanum 16 and tumbles down those steps. In occult science it is said that he is left without INRI (Ignis, Natura, Renovatur, Integra); has failed. This is then, the Fulminated Tower. Of those who are left without INRI there are they who fall from the Tower. The victorious, they who achieve the Second Birth, enter the Order of Meichizedek, the Order of Keb, the Genie of the Earth.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

One is not alone, but is helped by the Father-Mother. She helps as the Mother who keeps vigil for her son, and He also. If one, however, vio lates the oath of chastity, then comes the Fall, and one is abandoned by one’s Mother, being submitted to pain and bitterness. In Arcanum 21 danger is clearly indicated by the crocodile. The folly, the error, is to stray from the Path.

Corrected October 2026. Earlier versions of this booklet gave some of the Master's early passages on awakening the Kundalini without noting his later teaching that it awakens only through the couple. Notes now sit beneath those passages, and our own headings have been put right. With thanks to the reader who pointed it out.

How this was made. All fifty-two books were extracted — 73,105 paragraphs, 2,157,671 words — and swept for chastity and chaste (never chastise), for continence, abstinence, celibacy and virginity where the sexual life is in question, and for his phrases for the teaching where the word is absent: never to spill the seed, the nocturnal pollutions, the lascivious thought, pornography and onanism, what single people do with the energy. His chapters Celibacy in The Perfect Matrimony, Sexual Magic, Not Celibacy in Logos Mantram Theurgy and The Innocent Chaste One in Parsifal Unveiled were read whole. That returned 568 candidate paragraphs in 50 books. Every candidate was read twice, by independent readers working from a written brief; they agreed on whether to print 92.6% of the time and on the class 86.3%, and a third reader, who saw neither verdict, settled the 42 they did not. 196 are printed here; 40 more were set aside as the same teaching said again, and every other paragraph is recorded with the reason it was set aside.

What was set aside. The technique of the arcanum itself (in Alchemy); lust, fornication and adultery taught as the vice (in Lust and Chastity); temperance and the virtues taught as a set (in the work on the virtues); chaste as a name in passing. Amado Nervo's poem, which he recites at the close of The Innocent Chaste One, is not his and is not printed.

Nothing of his is changed except where a word split at the end of a line was joined; that was done silently. Three chapter headings stand above their chapters as the chapter's name.

No sentence of his is cut in half. Each range was extended against the corpus until his sentence closed; 42 ranges run over more than one paragraph.

114 passages also stand in a finished work, and every one is marked where it stands, most of them in Lust and Chastity. This booklet reprints them so that it stands alone.

Checked five ways. Every reader's note was proved to sit on the passage as printed. Every printed pair was compared as sequences. Every ragged edge was repaired or named. Every one of the 77 passages marked a practice was proved to carry its own instruction. And every passage was checked word for word against a fresh extraction of its book.
