Every word here is his. Nothing has been paraphrased or improved. Each passage was cut out of the book it belongs to by reference, and each carries that book and the paragraph it came from, so anything on this page can be found again in the source. Most of it comes from the three places where he gave a whole lesson on the sign, the Zodiacal Course, the Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology and the Manual of Practical Magic; the rest are the paragraphs where he names Scorpio or the scorpion in other books. Many of these passages also stand in other works of the shelf, chiefly The Solar Bodies, The Three Factors and the Zodiacal Course booklet. They are gathered here on purpose: the same teaching comes back in several of them because hearing it again is how it settles.

The first two parts are the sign and its ruler: the eighth constellation, joined of old with Virgo, the sign that governs the sexual organs, and the house of Mars: “Scorpio, the sign of the sexual forces” “Scorpio rules the sexual organs and in the latter resides all the power of the magician.”

The third and fourth are the lesson of Scorpio: the Great Arcanum, the Second Birth, and the bodies and the serpents: “The Kundalini is awakened with sexual magic.” “Each body has its sacred Serpent.”

The fifth is the scorpion as a symbol: its poison, the Scorpion Head Goddess, the rune Olin and the constellation in the old temples: “In reality the scorpion symbolizes the sexual organs.”

The sixth and seventh are the natives and the correspondences: those born under the sign, and its stone, mineral, plants and perfume: “The natives of Scorpio have a terrible will.” “The mineral of Scorpio is the Magnet; its stone is the Topaz.”

The eighth part is the practice: his exercise for the sign, with the passages that ground it: “The exercise of Scorpio is the Maithuna”

This is the first of twelve, one for each sign, each released as the sun enters it.

IIVirgo and Scorpio were “esoterically” considered one single sign

Scorpio is the eighth constellation. The ancient sages counted Virgo and Scorpio as one sign, and together the two are the Eden the Bible speaks of, the garden where the seven serpents of fire wait for the disciple.

Today we fully enter the constellation of Virgo, house of Mercury and exile of Venus. The ancient sages divided the zodiacal belt in ten signs only, since Virgo and Scorpio were “esoterically” considered one single sign.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

Virgo, the sign of the celestial virgin and Scorpio, the sign of the sexual forces, together, are really that marvelous Eden the Bible talks to us about. This is the paradise of virgin men; this is the paradise of the perfect androgyny. This is the Eden the Bible talks about. Eden is sex itself.

PART TWO

in sex is the root of the Great Battle between White and Black Magicians, between the Solar and Lunar forces.

We have arrived at the omnipotent empire of strength and power. We now only want to speak in the language of majesty and might.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

We now only want to understand the omnipotence of strength. This is the terrible kingdom of Pluto, the omnipotent empire of strength and of the magician. This is the igneous dwelling of bellicose Mars.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

Legions of the earth! Legions of the air! Legions of the waters! Legions of the fire! Obey us!

Zodiacal Course, 1951

Scorpio rules the sexual organs and in the latter resides all the power of the magician. Scorpio is the house of Mars and “Pluto”, the visitor.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

We say visitor because this terrible Genie of practical magic does not belong to this solar system. He is merely a visitor who is helping all the warriors of the rocky path. Within his majestic temple, we see two enormous symbolical “balls”. See him there! His “veiled” face is terribly divine and exhales the omnipotence of power. Pluto attends the initiate’s call when black forces attack us. Pluto can defend us from the tenebrous lords of black magic. See him there! He has cast his ball and attends the call of a supplicant!

IIIMars, in Scorpio, makes the atoms of Buddha reach our seminal system

Buddha, he teaches, became the Christ of the Martians. The force of Mars now carries his atoms through Scorpio into the seminal system, toward the christification of man.

The waters of the Hoang-ho on passing torrential, intone the “gong”, that is to say, the keynote “fa” of nature, which makes our Kundalini vibrate, in the sacred river of life. Buddha, the redeemer of Mars, now radiates buddhic force from that planet, which with Scorpio enters our seminal system and moves in us the incentive of christification. Buddhic atoms flood our seminal canals. The buddhic atoms fill our internal vehicles and saturate the very internal structures with the strength of Mars.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

Buddha has become a warrior, now he radiates his powerful “Buddhic-Martian” energy from Mars.

Our buddhic principle is the superlative conscience of the Being; it is the “soul spirit”. Now the warrior force of Mars has become buddhic, and the heroes of Light will surge everywhere.

Mars, in Scorpio, makes the atoms of Buddha reach our seminal system to achieve the christification of man. The buddhic atoms, under the force of Mars, will convert us into living Christs.

from Zodiacal Course, 1951

Buddha, the Christ of the Martians, now throbs in our seminal system. Our body and our buddhic atoms confer upon us the gift of “feeling” the supreme knowledge. The buddhic conscience is now warlike, and a new type of warriors has been born, those of Light, the paladins of the New Era. The New Era will emerge from the wars of this century, because Mars is now buddhic.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The sacrifice of Buddha on Mars was like that of the Christ among us. Buddha prepared himself on earth to later become the Christ of the Martians.

Here he hands over the key of the Great Arcanum. He then copies paragraphs from his teacher Huiracocha on the connection without the orgasm, and says they hold the supreme secret that Eliphas Levi never dared to reveal.

The Kundalini is awakened with sexual magic.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Benefits of Pranayama, Ham-Sah and Alchemy, Zodiacal Course

I will now transcribe a few paragraphs from the 8th lesson of the Zodiacal Course by the Venerable Master Arnold Krumm Heller, Guru (Huiracocha) Archbishop of the Gnostic Church, so that our disciples comprehend well these teachings, let us see: “Instead of the coition that reaches orgasm, considerate soft caresses should be given, amorous phrases and delicate touches constantly maintaining the mind away from animal sexuality, as if the act was a true religious ceremony’

Zodiacal Course, 1951

A practice

“However, the man can and should introduce the penis and keep it in the feminine sex so that a divine sensation, full of joy, which can last complete hours, overcomes them, withdrawing it at the moment the spasm draws nearer to avoid ejaculation of semen; in this manner they will have more and more desire each time to caress each other’

Zodiacal Course, 1951

“This can be repeated as many times as desired, without exhaustion ever befalling, since on the contrary, it is the magical key to be rejuvenated, daily maintaining the body healthy and prolonging life since it is a fountain of health with this constant magnetization “.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

‘We know that in ordinay magnetism, the magnetizer communicates fluids to the subject, and if the former has these energies developed, he can heal the latter”.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

“The transmission of the magnetic fluid is ordinarily done by the hands or the eyes, but it is necessary to say that there isn’t a more powerful conductor, a thousand times more powerful, a thousand times superior than the others, than the virile member and the vulva, as organs of reception”.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

“If many people practice this, strength and prosperity spreads around them for a/l those who come into commercial or social contact with them, but in the act of divine, sublime magnetization, to which we refer, both man and woman are reciprocally magnetized, being one for the other like a musical instrument that when strummed, ejects or produces sounds prodigious of mysterious and sweet harmonies, The chords of that instrument are scattered all over the body, and in the lips and fingers are its principal pulsators, on the condition that the most absolute purity presides this act, which is what makes us magicians in this supreme instant”.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

These paragraphs from the 8th lesson of the sublime Huiracocha, enclose the supreme secret of the grand arcanum, of which Eliphas Levi speaks to us so much about, without ever having dared to reveal it.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

This is the key to awaken the Kundalini and make oneself a magician.

IIIt is urgent to become Twice-Born

The chapter on Scorpio in the Hermetic Astrology opens with the words to Nicodemus. To be born again, he says, is a sexual matter, as the Brahmins show in their rite of the golden cow.

The Great Hierophant Jesus Christ told Nicodemus, “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

It is necessary to be born of water and the spirit in order to be able to enter the Kingdom of Esotericism, the Magis Regnum.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Three Factors

It is urgent to be born again in order to have the full right to enter the Kingdom. It is urgent to become Twice-Born.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

This matter of the Second Birth was not understood by Nicodemus and neither has it been understood by all Biblical sects. It is necessary to have studied comparative religion and have the Key of the Arcane A.Z.F. if we truly want to comprehend the words of Jesus to Nicodemus.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Three Factors

The different Biblical sects are fully convinced that they really comprehend what to be born again means and interpret it in the most varied of ways, but certainly, even if they possess much Biblical erudition and document one verse with another, and try to explain one verse with another, or other verses, the reality is that they do not understand it if they do not possess the Secret Key, the Arcane A.Z.F.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Three Factors

Nicodemus was wise, he knew the Holy Scriptures profoundly and yet, he did not understand and said, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?”

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Three Factors

Jesus, the Great Kabir then gave Nicodemus a Mayan type of answer, “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.”

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

It is clear that the one who does not have information other than that of the dead letter, the one who does not understand the double significance of the Biblical verses, the one who has never known the Arcane A.Z.F., interprets these words of the Great Kabir in his own way with only the information that he possesses and believes that with his sect’s baptism or something similar, the problem of the Second Birth is already resolved. For the Mayas, the Spirit is Living Fire and they say, “We must unite what is above with what is below, by means of the water and fire.”

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Three Factors

Hindu Brathmins symbolize the second birth sexually. In their Liturgy, a large Golden Cow is constructed and the candidate to the Second Birth has to pass through the hollow body of the Cow three times, by dragging himself, exiting through the vulva and thus remains consecrated as a true Brahinan-Dwipa, or Twice-Born, once of his mother and another of the Cow.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Three Factors

It is in this manner that the Brahmins symbolically explain the Second Birth taught by Jesus to Nicodemus.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

We have already said in preceding chapters, that the Cow represents the Divine Mother, but the interesting thing is that the Brahmins call themselves Twice-Born and their second birth is sexual, born of the Cow and exited from within her womb through the vulva.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Three Factors

This matter is very thorny and the Lunar Race mortally hates it; they prefer to kill the Cow and then insult everyone who talks about the Mysteries of Sex and the Arcane AZ.F. The Brabmins are not Twice-Born, but symbolically they are. Neither is the MasterMason truly, a Master, but symbolically he is. The interesting thing is to reach the Second Birth and the problem is one hundred percent sexual.

IIIThe Philosopher’s Stone of the old medieval alchemists is Sex

The stone that closes the sanctuary is lifted by Peter, Patar, the master of sexual magic. Without the doctrine of Peter the Second Birth is impossible, and those who exclude or insult sex cannot reach it.

Whoever wants to enter that land of the Fourth Dimension, in those Jinas valleys, mountains and temples, in that Kingdom of the Twice-Born, must work with the Rough Stone, chisel it, give it shape, as we would say in Masonic language.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Three Factors

We respectfully need to lift that marvelous Stone which separates us from the Land of the One Thousand and One Nights, from the land of marvels where the Twice-Born live happily.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Three Factors

It is impossible to roll the Stone, lift it, if we have first not given it a cubic shape with the chisel and the hammer.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Peter, the disciple of Jesus Christ, is the Aladdin, the marvelous interpreter, authorized to lift the Stone that closes the Sanctuaiy of the Great Mysteries.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Peter’s original name is Patar with its three consonants P.T.R. which are radical. P. comes to remind us of the Father who is in secrecy, of the Fathers of the Gods, our Fathers or Phitaras.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

T: the Tau, the Divine Hermaphrodite, the man and woman sexually united during the act.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

R: this letter is vital in the INRI; it is the sacred and terribly divine fire, the Egyptian RA. Peter, Patar, the illuminator, is the Master of Sexual Magic, the generous Master who always awaits us at the entrance of the terrible path.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The religious Cow, the famous Cretan Minotaur, is the first thing that we find in the mystical subterranean tunnel which leads to the Earth of the Twice-Born.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The Philosopher’s Stone of the old medieval alchemists is Sex and the Second Birth is sexual.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Benefits of Pranayama, Ham-Sah and Alchemy, The Three Factors

Chapter VIII of the Laws of Manu says, “A Kingdom inhabited above all by Sudras, full of impious men and deprived of Twice-Born inhabitants, will totally perish rapidly, attacked by hunger and disease.”

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Three Factors

Without Peter’s Doctrine, the Second Birth is impossible. We Gnostics study the Doctrine of Peter.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Three Factors

Infrasexuals, degenerate persons mortally hate the Doctrine of Peter.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Many are the sincerely mistaken ones who believe that they can attain self-realization by excluding sex.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Many are those who speak against Sex, those who insult Sex, those who spit their entire defamatory dribble in the Sacred Sanctuary of the third Logos.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Those who hate Sex, those who say that Sex is gross, unworldly, animal, bestial, are the insulters, those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Whoever pronounces himself against Sexual Magic, whoever spits his infamy in the Sanctuary of the Third Logos, will never be able to attain the Second Birth.

IVThe name of Sexual Magic in Sanskrit is Maithuna

The doctrine of Peter is the Maithuna. Restrained desire transmutes the seminal liquid, the energy rises to the brain, and the Maithuna is the exercise that awakens and develops the Kundalini.

The name of Sexual Magic in Sanskrit is Maithuna. Peter’s Doctrine is the Maithuna and Jesus said, “Thou art Peter (rock), and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The Key of the Maithuna is the Black Lingarn inserted in the Yoni, attributes of the God Shiva, the third logos, the Holy Spirit.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Restrained desire will transmute the seminal liquid into Creative Energy.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The Sexual Energy ascends up to the cerebrum. this is how the cerebrum is seminized; this is how the semen becomes cerebrized.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The Maithuna is the exercise that permits us to awaken and develop the Kundalini, the igneous serpent of our magical powers.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Words He Uses

VIt is necessary to first descend into the Ninth Sphere

Sex is the Ninth Sphere, the greatest ordeal of the ancient mysteries. One must descend before one can ascend, and whoever spills the Cup of Hermes loses the work already done.

Sex, in itself, is the Ninth Sphere. The descent to the Ninth Sphere was, in the ancient mysteries, the maximum test of the Supreme Dignity of the Hierophant.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Buddha, Jesus the Great Kabir, Hermes, Zoroaster, Mohammed, Dante, etc., etc., etc. had to go through that maximum test.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Many are the pseudo-esoteric, and pseudo-occultist students who, upon reading occultist or pseudo-occultist literature, would like to immediately enter the land of jinns marvels, into the bliss of continuous Ecstasy, etc.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Those students do not want to understand that in order to be able to ascend one must first descend.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

It is necessary to first descend into the Ninth Sphere; it is only in this manner that we can ascend.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The Magistery of Fire is very long and terrible; if the student commits the mistake of spilling the Cup of Hermes, he loses his preceding work, the igneous serpent of our magical powers descends.

Part Four — Each body has its sacred Serpent

12 passages

IThe Kundalini is the igneous serpent of our magical powers

The Kundalini is the sexual fire, shut in the coccyx. In the sexual magic of husband and wife the semen is transmuted, the energy climbs the two canals Ida and Pingala, and when the solar and lunar atoms meet at the coccyx the serpent begins to move.

PART FOUR

seven bodiesseven serpents of fire
Each of the seven bodies has its Kundalini, its serpent.

“The Kundalini is the igneous serpent of our magical powers”.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The Kundalini is the solar fire locked up within a membranous pocket in the coccygeal bone, within the sacral region, which is the base of the spinal column.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The Kundalini is the sexual fire. The Kundalini is the fire of the Holy Spirit The Kundalini is the flaming sword of the Cherubim that guards the entrance to Eden. This is why in the masterpiece titled “The Gnostic Church”, Master Huiracocha says that we should take advantage of the medulla and the semen to the maximum, because therein lies the redemption of man. Referring to the semen, the Master says in “Esoteric Rose”: “Raise well thy cups, and be careful of not spilling even a single drop of thy precious liquid”.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

Refrained desire will transmute the semen into Christic energy and this energy will at the same time be bi-polarized into positive and negative to rise in two nervous canals located at the right and left of the spinal medulla. In India, these two spermatic canals are called: Ida and Pingala.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Benefits of Pranayama, Ham-Sah and Alchemy, The Law of Polarities

The right canal is positive and therein ascend the solar atoms. The left canal is lunar and therein rise the lunar atoms.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Law of Polarities

Ida and Pingala part from a sacral center called “Tribeni”, located above the medulla oblongata.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Law of Polarities

The semen is transmuted into Christic energies.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

That energy is the wine of light, that wine of light converts us into living Buddhas. The two canals Ida, and Pingala, resound with the musical note of the Chinese gong, or the musical “Fa”.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Law of Polarities

The spinal medulla with its two nervous cords is the Brahmatic cord. The spinal medulla is the rod of Brahma, Aaron’s rod, the rod of the patriarchs, the rod of Moses, the sceptre of the divine kings, and the bamboo cane of seven joints of the yogis in India.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The secret to awaken the Kundalini is in the miracle that Christ did at the wedding of Cana. The transmutation of water into wine is accomplished in nuptials during the trance of sexual magic, with refrained effort, water (semen) will be transmuted into wine of alchemical light.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Benefits of Pranayama, Ham-Sah and Alchemy

When the solar and lunar atoms of our seminal energy make contact in the center of the coccyx, then the snake begins to move, producing a great pain in the coccyx. It breaks the membranous pocket and enters the spinal medulla through an orifice which remains closed in run-of-the-mill people.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Law of Polarities

The vapors that rise from the semen uncover that orifice, which is the door of the Sushumna canal. This canal advances along the spinal medulla to the end of the cervical vertebrae; thereby rises the igneous serpent or liquid fire of the Kundalini. This sacred fire rises along a fine string that serves as a conductor within the canal of the medulla. The Ascension of the Kundalini is regulated by the fires of the heart. In occultism, the spinal vertebrae are called: “canyons or pyramids”.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

11 passages

IIThe spinal column has 33 canyons and 33 divine atoms

The serpent climbs the spine canyon by canyon, each vertebra a test of its own. A single ejaculation burns the cord and the fire falls back.

Each canyon has its occult name and powers.

Each canyon has its occult name and powers.

from Zodiacal Course, 1951

The spinal column has 33 canyons and 33 divine atoms.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The ascent of the Kundalini is carried out “canyon by canyon”, “degree by degree”. Each canyon costs terrible tests in the physical and astral planes. This is the path of unutterable bitterness and martyrdom.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The nervous branches, which communicate the chakras with the medulla part from the fine cord of the medulla.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The Kundalini sets fire to all the lotus flowers or chakras of our organism as it rises “canyon by canyon”.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

Through the 33 canyons, we pass through the chambers of the great Masonic Lodge of the astral plane.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The external chambers are the lesser mysteries, and the internal chambers are the greater mysteries.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The disciple should learn the Masonic salutes from his own Inner Being: “The Internal Master” should teach them to him. The thickness of the Kundalini will depend on the amount of stored sexual energy. The color of the Kundalini depends on the psychological idiosyncrasy of the disciple.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The Kundalini rises in accordance with the practice of sexual magic and in accordance with our process of sanctification, for as we said, the ascension depends on the merits of the heart.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Benefits of Pranayama, Ham-Sah and Alchemy

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 Chastity, Zodiacal Course

Our Lord the Christ told me: “The disciple should not let himself fall, he has to struggle very much to recover what has been lost”.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

IIIHigh initiation is the fusion of two principles

Through the initiations the disciple passes through the whole drama of Golgotha. The greater initiations fuse the Inner Being with the spirit-soul, and then add the human soul to that fusion.

Throughout the initiations of lesser mysteries, the disciple has to pass through the entire tragedy of Golgotha, will at last climb the Golgotha of High Initiation, where he will be fused with his Inner Being and become Master of the White Lodge.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

High initiation is the fusion of two principles: Atma-Buddhi or the five principal initiations of greater mysteries.

With the first we achieve the fusion of Atma-Buddhi and with the fifth, we add the Manas to this fusion, and so the septenary is reduced to a trinity; “Atma-Buddhi Manas”. There are a total of 9 initiations of greater mysteries.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Human Soul

Atman is the Being. Atman is the Inner Being. Atman is our internal Angel, and Buddhi is our spirit-soul.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Being Is the Being, The Words He Uses

When the Inner Being and the soul-spirit fuse, a new Master of humanity is born, and when the “Manas” or human soul is added to this fusion, then a new blessed one is born.

IVWe have seven bodies and seven serpents of fire

Each of the seven bodies has its own spinal medulla and its own serpent, and each serpent leads to an initiation. The Manual of Practical Magic lists the seven bodies and says the seven serpents are raised on the rod by sexual magic with the woman.

We already spoke of the seven serpents of Eden in the sign of Virgo. We have seven bodies and seven serpents of fire. Each of the seven bodies has its Kundalini, its serpent. The first serpent opens to thee the seven churches located in the buddhic body. A stigmatized and Christified buddhic body inevitably fuses with the Inner Being.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The second serpent belongs to the etheric body and takes us to the second initiation of greater mysteries, which confers upon us the power to travel in the etheric body or Somapuchicon which Max Heindel talks to us about. The third serpent corresponds to the astral body, and totally opens for us all the “chakras”, wheels or discs of the astral body, and corresponds to the third of greater mysteries.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The fourth serpent corresponds to the mental body, and permits us to christify the mind. The Christ-mind takes us to the fourth initiation of greater mysteries, and confers the degree of “Arhat” upon us.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in Christ Mind

The fifth serpent belongs to the causal body, from which we extract the human soul or manas to fuse it with Atma-Buddhi. This is the fifth initiation and confers the degree “Aseka” upon us.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Human Soul

The Sixth serpent belongs to Buddhi. This sixth portal is like a cup of transparent and white alabaster within which the fire of the Inner Being burns. You are that cup now burning with the fire of your sixth serpent.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The seventh serpent belongs to the very body of the Inner Being.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

From the physical body, through the Kundalini, we extract the “soul-conscience” which, absorbed in the buddhi, becomes fused with the Inner Being. From the etheric body, we extract through the golden Kundalini of this body, the sapient-soul.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Human Soul

From the Astral through the snowy Kundalini of that vehicle, we extract the conscious soul. From the mental body through its respective Kundalini, we extract a spiritual summary of the astral body. From the causal or will body we extract a spiritual tablet, or human soul. The other two serpents take us to the ineffable bliss of Nirvana. These are the seven degrees of the power of fire. Only the terror of love and law reign throughout these seven portals.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Human Soul

The eighth and ninth degrees take us to ineffable regions...

The seventh initiation confers upon us the degree of “Mahachoan”. The Mahachoan becomes guardian of the akashic archives and director of the works of the Great White Lodge.

The five initiations of greater mysteries belong to the work with fire. Ordinary humanity has only protoplasmic lunar bodies, which rise and fall with nature, and whoever would escape that law must create the solar bodies.

The Protoplasmic, Lunar Bodies are derived from a remote mineral past and they return to the mineral past because everything returns to its original point of departure.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Solar Bodies

The Protoplasmic, Lunar Bodies evolve up to a certain point which is perfectly defined by nature and then initiate their involutive return to the original point of departure. The Virginal Sparks, the Monadic Waves caused to emerge in the mineral past, the Protoplasmic Bodies with which the Mineral Elementals, the gnomes or pygmies garbed themselves.

VIIThis special shock is the sexual restraint of the Maithuna

The solar bodies are crystallized from the sexual hydrogen Si-12, octave by octave, each time by the shock of restraint in the Maithuna. In Gnosis the Second Birth means making these bodies and incarnating the Being.

In all the elements of nature, in every chemical substance, in every fruit, exists its corresponding type of Hydrogen and the Hydrogen of Sex is the Si-12.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Solar Bodies

The Fire, the Fohat fecundates the Womb of the five-legged Sacred Cow, but it is only with the Sexual Hydrogen Si-12 that the Solar Bodies are formed, are crystallized. Within the seven notes of the musical scale are carried out all the biological and physiological processes whose final result is that marvelous elixir called Semen.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Solar Bodies

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Being Is the Being, The Solar Bodies

Normally, the being is not born, does not die and neither does it reincarnate, but when we already have the Solar Bodies, we can incarnate it, and we move on to really Be. To the one who knows, the word gives power; no one pronounced it, no one will pronounce it, except he who has it incarnated.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Being Is the Being

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Solar Bodies, The Three Factors, The Words He Uses

We knew a Lady-Adept of the White Lodge who fabricated her Solar Bodies in merely ten years of very intense work in the ninth Sphere. That Lady lives with the Angels, Archangels, Seraphim, etc.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

By working very intensely in the ninth Sphere without allowing oneself to fall, one can carry out the work of fabricating the Solar Bodies in ten or twenty years more or less. The Lunar Race mortally hates this science of the Sacred Cow and before accepting it, it prefers to find escape routes and justifications with flashy and hypocritical phrases. The Bonzos and Dugpas of red cape, the Black Magicians, practice Black Tantrism, they ejaculate the semen during the Maithuna; it is in this manner that they awaken and develop the abominable Kundartiguador Organ.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Kundabuffer, The Solar Bodies

Many pseudo-occultist and pseudo-esoterist students abound who say they want to supposedly attain Self-Realization, but since they are lunar, when they get to know this science of the Ninth Sphere, they become scandalized; they curse us, they launch against us their entire defamatory dribble and if we were in the times of Esdras, they would immolate the Sacred Cow, saying, “His blood be on us, and on our children.”

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Igneous Rose, 1954

When the old mystic desired to enter the Sanctum, his Soul transformed into a scorpion and wounded his hand with its stinger. In reality the scorpion symbolizes the sexual organs. We were injured by the scorpion. We left Eden by the door of sex. Only through that door can we return to Eden. Eden is sexuality itself. The old initiate then entered the chamber of Holy Light where shines the Universal Spirit of Life. That terrible and divine chamber was illuminated by an immaculate white light that cast no shadow and gave life to everything it touched. Oramamme was ecstatic amongst such beauty. Suddenly his eyes fixed upon a beautiful painting that was on top of the table. It was a delicious painting; it was a painting of the Martyr of Calvary. There one could see Golgotha in all its divine, awe-inspiring beauty. The Mystic remained absorbed in contemplating that magnificent painting that not even Michelangelo or Rafael or even Velasquez could have painted with such detail. That painting was alive. There one could see the great event of Golgotha, there was the Great Master crucified on the Mount of Skulls. His stigmata bled and the blood spilled onto the sacred ground. One could actually see the blood flowing from the wounds. The painting was alive, it was a living painting. The Sun was concealed in the West amongst blood red clouds. The Adorable One perspired with living blood. Everything there was infinite love and pain. At the feet of the great cross one could see the skulls of the executed. In reality that is the Mount of Skulls, the place where criminals were crucified. The great cross in front of the Sun that set in the West projected over the Mount of Skulls a shadow of death, the shadow of the cross.

Mountain of Juratena

In the waters of life a scorpion within an inverted triangle, signifying that with the spilling of the Vessel of Hermes we, like a scorpion, kill the Divine Mother.

The rune Olin is governed by Scorpio and vibrates with the constellation of the Scorpion, because the whole power of the fire is enclosed in the sexual organs.

44. The sign OLIN is governed by the sign of Scorpio which controls the sexual organs. 45. We know that the whole power of the Kundalini is found in the phallus and in the uterus. The secret for awakening the Kundalini is contained within the union of the two. 46. On one occasion, when conversing with a Master of the great White Hierarchy, he touched my sexual organs in order to examine me. I then felt an electric shock throughout my body. The Master was very content and said to me: “You are progressing very welL” 47. Nature has its origin in the fire and the entire power of the fire is found enclosed within our sexual organs.

PART EIGHT

without spilling the sementhe couple
The couple should withdraw from the sexual act before reaching the spasm, in order to avoid the spilling of the seminal liquid.

A practice

During moments of love, in which the couple feels ineffable delights, thou should connect thyself with thy wife, sexually and pronounce during this connection, the powerful mantrams of the Kundalini, as I received them from the angel of command, called “Aroch.”

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Mantras, Zodiacal Course

A practice

These mantrams are the following: Kandil-Bandil-rrrrrrr They will be vocalized in the form of a song, prolonging the sound of the vowels and raising the voice in the first syllable of each word and lowering it in the second syllable. The letter “r” is pronounced in a high and sharp manner, like the voice of a child, prolonging the sound as if it was the sound of a motor or a mill when it is left without grain to grind, which produces a sharp and thin sound.

IIIThe exercise of Scorpio is the Maithuna

The exercise of Scorpio is practised all year round until the Second Birth, once a day only, never forcing the spouse, and with the conditions he lays down for sickness, menstruation, pregnancy and childbirth.

A practice

The exercise of Scorpio is the Maithuna and the latter is not only practiced during Scorpio but all the time, in a continuous manner, until achieving the Second Birth. However, we should warn that one should never practice two consecutive times in the same night. It is only permitted to practice once daily.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Benefits of Pranayama, Ham-Sah and Alchemy

A practice

It is also urgent to know that one should never force one’s spouse to practice the Maithuna when she is sick or when she is menstruating, or in the state of pregnancy, because it is a crime.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

A practice

The woman who has given birth to a child can only practice the Maithuna after forty days from childbirth.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

A practice

The Maithuna does not impede the reproduction of the species, because the seed always passes to the womb without the need of spilling the semen. The multiple combinations of the infinite substance are marvelous.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

A practice

Many are the students of occultism who complain because they fail, because they suffer seminal discharges, because they do not succeed at avoiding seminal ejaculation. We advise those students a short exercise of five minutes on Friday of each week if the case is very serious, or a short exercise of five minutes daily, if the case is not too serious. After one year with these short exercises of five minutes of the Maithuna, one can lengthen them by five minutes more for another year and on the third year one would practice fifteen minutes daily. In this manner, little by little each year, one can lengthen the time of the exercise of the Maithuna until becoming capable of practicing one hour daily.

IVHere I have given thee the key of sexual magic

Beside the sexual work he gives a rule for the defects, two months to each in turn until all are ended. The lesson of Scorpio closes by asking what more the disciple could want.

A practice

We have to sum up our defects and dedicate two months to each defect in a successive order, until we put an end to all the defects. This simple rule is the key to making the Kundalini rise, because the disciple then comes out triumphant in all the astral and physical tests, and wins the canyons quickly one after the other.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in Zodiacal Course

Sons of men! Dost thou want to enter the ineffable bliss of Nirvana? Dost thou want to become Gods? Dost thou want to become Christs? Dost thou want to become free of the wheel of births and deaths?

How this was made. All fifty-two books were extracted (73,105 paragraphs, 2,157,671 words) and swept for the sign. The sweep took the whole Scorpio chapters of three books: the Zodiacal Course (1951), with its lesson summary and its line on the genii of the sign (114 paragraphs), the Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology (1967, 130) and the Manual of Practical Magic (1954, 21). It then took every other paragraph in any book that names Scorpio or the scorpion (37), the lines of his correspondence tables not already in (2), and, where his sentence ran across the paragraph break, the paragraph beside it (22). That returned 326 candidate paragraphs in 16 books. Every candidate was read twice, by independent readers working from a written brief. The two passes agreed on whether to print 99.4% of the time and on the class 96.6%, and a third reader, who saw neither verdict, settled the eleven they did not. 281 were judged printable, and 51 of them were joined into the passage before them where his sentence or his list ran across several paragraphs, so 230 passages are printed here. The rest are recorded with the reason each was set aside.

The practices were not gathered in a separate pass. The 15 passages marked as practices are the ones the readers marked as giving the reader something to do. Thirteen of them are gathered as the last part, with the four passages that stand among them and ground them; the other two stand where they cannot be lifted out: one inside the quotation from Huiracocha in the third part, and the rule on the zodiacal perfume beside the line on coral it governs, in the seventh.

What was set aside. 12 were the scorpion as an ordinary animal or a figure of speech (8 of them in visions of the Apocalypse read as war), 13 were headings, list numbers, salutations and the sign-offs of his letters, 11 belonged to another sign, 5 were front matter or a table of contents, two were a quotation in which nothing is taught, and two named Scorpio only in passing.

No word was mended. The passages are printed as the extraction gives them, the scanner’s slips included (“Lingarn”, “Sanctuaiy”). No word of his is changed.

No sentence of his is cut in half. Each range was extended against the corpus until his sentence closed, and 25 ranges run over more than one paragraph.

No paragraph was left out on purpose. Every paragraph judged printable is printed.

94 passages also stand in a finished work, and every one is marked where it stands, most often in The Solar Bodies (21), The Three Factors (18) and the Zodiacal Course booklet (10). The repetition is wanted: this is the vocabulary of the whole teaching, and a reader who meets the same line in a second book holds it better. What is not allowed is an overlap a reader cannot see.

One passage carries an editor’s note. Where a passage could be read as setting something other than the work of the couple beside it, the note under it gives his later teaching, with where to find it.

Checked twice over. Every section and part title is a line of his, proved against the passages under it. And every passage was checked word for word against a fresh extraction of its book.
