Duality- Sexual Alchemy
The greatest secret of all time is the use of the male and female
energies to perform what is sometimes known as high magic. Because
of the puritan ethic that dominated society in the past death was often
the result of revealing too much. It is hoped today’s society will be
more tolerant of this sacred mystery.
In chapter one we explored the normal stages of male ego
development. Ego development and spiritual growth proceeded
through a series of stages or steps culminating in a type of awareness
beyond mental awareness that has been called Cosmic Consciousness.
This is the direct perception of self evident truth and the archetypal
nature of existence. This path of development has also been termed
the mystical path. It is driven through prayer and meditation.
In chapter two we took the opposite and suggested it may represent
the normal stages of female ego development. In retrospect we can
see this path represents biological stages of development with
emphasis on three distinct phases each female may progress through.
These are the stages of maid, mother and crone. They are driven by
biological factors. Family, relationships and service are very
important.
These two opposite paths both appear reasonable and logical and
we are confronted with paradox. Both views extend from the lowest
levels of awareness to the highest levels of awareness. Both are
natural opposites of the other.
Classic books like “Men are from Mars;Women are from Venus”
give further evidence that males and females do experience life
differently. I will go so far as to claim that males will default to a
spiritual/intellectual view of living while being intensely drawn
toward sensual/biological experiences. Males will be drawn to the
female path and experience it briefly but they can not sustain contact
with it.
Females will be intensely drawn to a spiritual/intellectual view of
living but default to sensual/biological experiences. They will be48
drawn to the male path and experience it briefly but can not sustain
contact with it. They will loose interest in constant head tripping.
Another factor of interest is that almost any female can experience
the complete range of ego development through dating, pregnancy,
child birth, and menopause. Some females may be more successful
than others but they all reach the pinnacle and regain their connection
with Goddess. This is a holistic path.
The male path is quite different in that many males are not able to
progress up the steps to the higher levels of ego development. They
remain stuck at uncompleted stages for their entire lives. Progress to
the next stage is not allowed until the current stage is mastered. This
is a linear path.
We form relationships with the opposite sex to help us grow as
individuals and as love partners. The dynamic energy exchange
between these two paths propel us to become whole.
In this chapter we will form connections between the two views
that reflect personal experience and help balance our inner male and
female aspects. The degree format is not used in this chapter. Instead
the male and female are seen as interacting with each other at ten
separate levels.
The similarity between this chapter and such practices as “drawing
down the moon” are noteworthy.
The man and woman agree to work together as an inseparable team
to accomplish their desired goals. Since they are meeting primarily on
the mental plane it is vital they have as many interests in common as
possible. These common interests will help to bridge the vast spiritual
gap that will face them later in the work and strengthen their sense of
purpose. They are drawn together through a magnetic attraction called
love. Romantic love relationships are sacred. Combined their energy
is magickal.
The man should have a very idealistic and spiritual nature. He will
be using male energy as a catalyst to lift her spiritual nature to those
spiritual heights where she can contact the Goddess within.
When this contact is made she becomes the Goddess and by
transforming his generated energy causes it to manifest objectively as
healing energy or she directs it for stated magical objectives. He has
the surplus energy she needs to achieve her goals. Alone his energy is
wild and undirected. Together they can achieve miracles.
Using the male and female energies correctly is a form of tantric
sex magic. This may or may not involve sex or orgasm. What is49
required is foreplay and sexual tension that is prolonged until intense
sexual, emotional, and spiritual energies are generated between them.
Through physical contact these energies merge into her aura and
stabilize. If they are fully clothed holding hands together will allow
this exchange of energies to take place. In essence any type of
male/female interaction will create sparks. This is the spark of sexual
excitement.
In magical work sincerity of purpose is important, not ritual.
Whatever is done must be original and meaningful to them alone. It
must inspire emotions and arouse their desires. To perform this type
of sexual alchemy takes time. Mentally and emotionally explore each
other step by step. There are ten steps.
Each of the following objectives must be mastered completely
before going on to the next. Each objective describes the male and
female response as the male generates spiritual energy and invokes
the Goddess within her. These steps are the two previous chapters
combined as they describe the romantic interaction between two
people in love.
There are ten stages or objectives that relationships progress
through under normal conditions. See if you can recognize these first
five.
- In this first objective the male struggles to be both body and spirit.
He strives to become one with the Christ spirit within him while still
maintaining an awareness of his physical body.
He looks at her and recognizes the Goddess. He sees her as a
spiritual being placing her on a pedestal and mentally kneels before
her. He has expectations and standards for her that are so high only a
Goddess could fulfill them. He does not feel worthy of her love. She
feels his energy coming into her aura and body.
Mentally she identifies with the spiritual Goddess within her and
opens herself to embrace his energy. This is true Goddess love. She
acts through instinct and recognizes what sensations his energy
produces in her physical body.
All options are explored. She allows this. She loves herself and the
whole world. She accepts his worship of her. She is the Goddess. His
love makes her feel lovable. - In this second objective she becomes the ideal for him as he gets to
know her better. Mentally he tries to understand her. She is beyond
logic and reason.50
All answers merely bring more questions. She is a great mystery.
She is good, she is evil, she is life, she is death, she is sin, she is
salvation, she is illusion, she is reality.
His intellect is inadequate and he tries to intuitively understand her
instead. He is in a complete intellectual fog and at her mercy. Words
can’t express his feelings toward her.
Her body rejoices with eagerness. Everything is right. She is a
physical Goddess. Her body obeys her mind. she feels stability and
peace. She has no expectations of him at all. Everything is new and
fresh. All is fulfillment.
She feels his energy influence her sensually. Her emotions are
becoming aroused. There is great joy and freedom in exploring these
new sensations. She identifies more and more with her body as she
sees its effect on him. Her body can not be wrong. It can deal with
anything that comes along. He is wrapped around her little finger. She
uses her body deliberately to get reactions from him. She uses body
language. - He begins to trust his intuition above other things. She is the
Goddess and he is in love. There is no one else for him or ever will
be. She is his Goddess. He is content to bask in her radiance, to
merely be close to her. He never felt he could find someone that was
so right for him. It’s like a fairy tale dream. He wants to have sex with
her. Her energy makes his entire body shiver.
Her new body awareness is strange and she feels timid, shy, and
uncertain. She feels weak and powerless compared to him. The very
force of the emotions he is generating threaten to overwhelm her.
Instead of reaching spiritual heights the force of his emotions is
plunging her down the steep incline into sensual materialism.
Recklessly and joyously she forsakes all spiritual values and lets it
take her where it will. This is also part of being a Goddess. She wants
to have sex with him. - He finds joy and peace in daydreaming about her. He lets his
imagination run wild as he explores fantasy after fantasy. His
daydreams become more real than she is. It is what she spiritually
represents that he is in love with. He tries to draw this Goddess down
into her physical body with his imagination. When they have sex he is
making love to the Goddess and not to her.
She feels apprehension and sorrow at her sudden exposure to the
intensity of his emotions. He is now generating tangible psychic force51
and she must accept it and transform it. This force at first seems
hostile and threatening. It stirs her emotions wildly. This is her first
eye opening exposure to the forces that can be generated this way.
It is both terrifying and exciting. How can he have so much energy?
It is too much for her so she tries to channel his energy upward to the
Goddess. Sex is not what she thought is would be and she
instinctively feels that something is not right about how he feels about
her. He doesn’t really know her. - He realizes she is holding back and having difficulties with his
energy. He turns his vast creative energies exclusively toward
developing a type of energy she can work with. Through trial and
error he examines the nature of the energy he is sending her. He
perfects and refines each type of energy until he can send each type to
her at will. Physical sex entraps both of them and she becomes
pregnant.
She is totally overwhelmed by the varieties and force of the energies
he is sending. This is a totally new experience and she becomes afraid
of loosing herself completely in this wild vortex of raw sensual,
emotional, and spiritual forces.
Even though she tries to be careful she finds herself being dragged
deeper and deeper into his wild energies and she can’t escape. She is
loosing control. He is beginning to dominate her. Then she becomes
pregnant. - At this point it is time for him to slack off and forget about
romance for awhile. He should just enjoy her company and share
social activities with her. They are going to have a child together.
Sensual pursuits are fun. As he turns the power down she relaxes and
they both turn to a life of total hedonism and enjoyment. She enjoys
his company and needs his energy but only a little at a time.
After a while she craves larger and larger doses of his raw energy.
She learns how to deal with it effectively. It begins to give her power
and energy and she can return some of it back to him in a new form. - He thinks seriously about forming a permanent relationship with
her. He pours his energy and vigor out to her with an intensity that
borders on insanity because it is so strong.
As she receives his energy she becomes completely self-centered.
This is the only way she can effectively direct the forces he is
generating. She has to be in total control, there can be no weakness.52
She uses her will to focus his energy toward those things she desires. - As she takes total control he begins to suspect she doesn’t love him,
that she is just using him to get what she wants. What about the things
he wants? He has to fight these doubts and be patient with her at this
time. All she seems to care about is the child.
The entire world spreads out before her. She can carve out of it
whatever she will. She can use him and his energies as she wishes to
achieve her dream. There is no mental hesitation or uncertainty. She
goes for the achievement of her dream. She is having a baby! - He seems to be only a servant to her but then he remembers that is
what he wanted to be. She is the Goddess. He wanted to build her
dream for her and now she is using his energy to do just that!
Working together they are both achieving those things they wished
for. This is the beginning of high magic. They are making a family.
She is the Goddess, a force of nature, unstoppable. She perceives
the karmic need for excitement, thrills, and vitality. She knows when
to support him and when to bitch at him to get him fired up enough to
do something. She gives him inspiration and takes from him what she
needs. - Blinded by his love for her he sacrifices himself. He projects
everything he has and is into her. He is free of all personal desires and
plunges into spiritual death and rebirth.
She accepts his sacrifice. She embraces all that he is and resolves to
make him complete in all things. It will take all of her power to
completely contain his expansive energies but she sacrifices
everything she is to do this. - They merge. They are one. They are a single unit, a new being.
There are no barriers between them. They have become one soul and
one family. - Their entire personal universe is now recreated on all levels in
their image. All is realized, all is complete.
