We’ve talked about the Shadow and the Collective but what role do the ego, anima and animus play in human lives? If the Shadow and Collective are secondary personalities that need to be integrated what are the ego, anima and animus?

The normal ego is the bridge and mediator between the Shadow and the Collective when they are integrated. The Anima or Animus represent the opposite sex aspect of our own souls.

Males have a feminine aspect that is not developed and females have a male aspect that is not developed. We need to have a balance of male and female for our egos to develop whole and healthy. We need to be balanced to be a true partner to someone else.

We might say the Shadow represents everything we are not. This includes the things we dislike and fear. That is why the Shadow is seen as evil and Satanic. We project fears and distortions onto it.

The Collective represents the astral memory traces of the way things have always been. It represents what we call our destiny or pathway in life. In reality there is only the present moment and the collective only suggests what might happen if we continue our present course of action.

The anima or animus respectively represents those things we wish we were but feel we aren’t. The opposite sex aspect is what we find missing in ourselves.

The Shadow and Collective as secondary personalities are both alien entities to our normal ego. We don’t miss them because we don’t consider them a part of us.

Astral energy is generated at the cellular level by our physical bodies. It can be either male or female depending on our own gender. A male physical cell can not generate female astral energy because it does not have an XX Chromosome. A female physical cell can not generate male astral energy because it does not have an XY Chromosome. This is basic biology.

The needed opposite sex energy has to come from an opposite sex partner in some manner. This is the spark between people in love relationships that attracts them together and allows their souls to grow as their energy combines. This might also be the spark that brings friends together.

Relationships can be romantic, sexual, or platonic. There are many types of male/female energy that can be shared. There are many types of love. male/female energy can even be transmitted through internet lines as many are finding out. This male/female energy can be spiritual, mental, emotional, sexual or physical. All types of energy need to be explored and it is unlikely that one person can supply them all.

Through the development of the relationship male/female energy is shared and the part of us that is missing becomes developed. We become able to find in ourselves what we were looking for in others. At that point of wholeness and completeness the spark dies and the relationship moves on either to explore new energies or it dies and you move on to find a new partner. Once we find in ourselves what we were looking for we no longer need the other person in the same way. The relationship changes and the feelings change as well. The other person is not longer special in the same way.

We may have become balanced in that energy but our unbalanced energies will act to destroy the relationship. Our partner doesn’t have the required energies this time.

This is why love sparks in relationships and then later dies in some relationships. That energy was used to create astral bodies complete with psychic sensory abilities created out of a particular type of energy. The energy of love creates a healthy human ego in both people in one of the 118 possible elements. Good work! There are only 117 levels left to develop.

In actual practice and in tradition we seem to have seven great loves and not 118. We each have a soul mate partner to develop the seven chakra centers. When all seven astral bodies have been developed our ego is balanced and complete. This is the lessor work. When we are done our ego is strong enough to integrate the Collective and the Shadow. Only after all those things are done can we be healthy enough and balanced enough to find our true mate, our equal. We find them not out of need but because we are healthy enough and ready to be an equal partner in all ways.

Relationships and love do make the world go round.

Today we are going to start talking about the 13th-century and courtly love. This will take probably two or three posts because the subject is quite intensive, so bear with me.

Courtly love or the age of chivalry ran historically from the 12th century to the late 16th century and is a notable time in the history of women and the beginning of feminism.

At the beginning, women were basically despised not only by men but by themselves. They were hardly treated like people.

I have to backtrack here, back before Christ and back before the invention of reading and writing. Over 4000 years ago, women ran the place with goddess based religions and these goddess based religions had females playing the prominent role. This was because it was the females that brought life into this world and they were also held responsible for death and rebirth.

So the whole focus way back then was around women and the important role they played in bringing life into this world. Gradually the male became more powerful and more empowered and it was around the time of the invention of reading and writing that the tide turned for the male.

Well, it was during this time, during the age of chivalry, that the tide began to turn back in favor of the female. Now the beginnings were small but they led to a lot of the things that are happening in the women’s movement today. At the end of the 16th century, women were respected and admired and this set the stage for the modern women’s movement.

Now back during the goddess religions of ancient times civilization was matriarchal and dominated by women. They failed to consider the males growing importance until it was too late.

In this time men were so obsessed about living in their heads that they indulged the women and let them do what they wanted. So women began taking over the running of things. This especially happened during the Crusades when a lot of the men were gone and the women were left home to take care of routine business. The women began to realize that they had a head for running things.

Now, one of the important consequences of the Crusades was a meeting of cultures. Europe was living in the dark ages compared to Persia, or compared to the Muslim countries who were highly civilized and had knowledge of Greek and Roman literature.

Suddenly these crude and uneducated Crusaders met up with this advanced civilization, and it was quite a shock. So they came back with a lot of eye-opening experiences which they wanted to share. But they came back to a world that women had kind of settled into while they were gone.

Courtly love is the great theme of late medieval literature. Europe was rediscovering the sciences and the wisdom of the classical world through the influence of Muslim scholars in the translations of Greek and Roman texts. So philosophy and the sciences were being reintroduced.

This was a golden opportunity for women of the upper class. At the same time, the cult of the Virgin Mary was brought back to Europe by the Crusaders.

Courtly love was class conscious, escapist and idealized. It was basically considered a harmless daydream by a lot of people. But it was very powerful in its own way as we shall see. Courtly love was the game of love. We’ve all heard about the game of love. This is where it started!

It was first thought to have been characteristic of the romantic German and Celtic peoples and included remnants of the Organic Gnostics through the influence of the Bogomils who came from the Caucasus area in eastern Europe. So courtly love still had traces of those early feminine goddess religions.

Now it was also considered a conspiracy of the Cathars to overturn the Church. But mostly courtly love was influenced by the Arabs because the Arabs treated their women differently than the Europeans did. The Arabs kept their women apart from everybody else. They segregated them and locked them up into harems. They made the women wear veils over their faces.

In Europe the female was always out in public and because she was out in public she was not considered special. The Arabs considered their women special and that trait also influenced this idea of courtly love.

Courtly love was sufficiently possible to be attractive to lovers, but improbable enough to be a challenge. It was like a hopeless case of soulmates never destined to join together in love and that’s probably the way to think of it in a in a metaphysical sense.

This was a meeting of souls, not a meeting of sexual pleasures. In fact, one of the phrases back then was that the union of souls was a thousand times more beautiful than that of bodies, so the whole concept of courtly love was Tantric.

It was talking about the mixing and the touching union of male and female souls. This is important because that’s part part of Organic Gnosticism. These tantric based teachings were spreading into every aristocratic family.

There was at least one person who could read and write, and they would snap up books because there were not very many to read. They in turn wanted to talk about what they read. They want to talk about new concepts and ideas just like we do today.

So the nobility began to permanently employ scholars. These scholars in turn would help with the business deals. They would write legal papers, keep the accounts and add some scholarly debate into the household and actually provide tutorship to the younger generation of children.

Things were different in the countryside for the superstitious common people. Sexuality was rampant with succubus and incubus attacks everywhere. These were vampires sucking up the energies of those with weaker blood. But the prevailing opinion of the common folk came from the Cathars. There was no sin from the belly button and below.

The aristocrats were talking about the soul. They were talking about the love of the soul and about soulmates. They were not talking about the physical consummation of sexuality.

The priests made generous use of this idea and the upper part of the body became so spiritual that it no longer knew what the lower half of the body was doing! If you can believe that!

Every act was holy and the priest was able to sanctify all women who sinned with him because sin was of the body and not of the soul. In Spain and France nuns were called the “consecrated ones” or mistresses of the priests. This was how pervasive sexuality was among the Church and among the common people.

In the Tarot the suit of Wands represents spiritual energy and the element fire. Fire has always been a symbol of light and passion. This energy comes to us through inspiration and illumination.

It is an extremely abstract form of thought that is beyond the normal intellect but still valid. It is the energy of the God and Goddess that resides within each of us. Spiritual energy is extremely volatile and is the first energy that is exchanged normally between the male and the female. It has to do with the vague and general stereotypes that we have of the opposite sex. This is when we worship the person we fall in love with.

This is also called “Puppy Love”. We are in love with the idea of being in love and not really in love with our partner. We worship them but don’t really know them. This is also an important part of the chemistry or lack of it between individuals.

This sharing of energy follows a pattern that sets the tone for the other suits as well.

The traditional tarot deck has several divisions within it. Perhaps the most well known are the trump cards. There are twenty two trumps in the traditional deck. Each one represents a path or life experience that must be encountered on the mystical path back to “Source” or “God/dess”. They represent forces of destiny that are cosmic in nature and beyond human influence.

In the OAK:Tarot of Love and Romance deck the trump cards represent much more than this. They represent how we discover and integrate the masculine and feminine aspects we each have within us. They are symbolic images of the attainment of spiritual, psychological, emotional and mental health.

Said in another way these trumps symbolize how we gradually learn to love ourselves. This is vitally important because how can we love someone else if we can not love ourselves? First we love others because we find in them things we would like to find in ourselves but can’t. We feel those we love complete us. As we grow and mature we come to recognize those same characteristics in ourselves. This process of self discovery is what the Trumps are about.

The rest of the deck is divided into four suits. Traditionally these are Wands, Swords, Cups, and Pentacles. These four suits represent spirit, intellect, emotion, and physical life. They also represent mundane life experiences easily recognized and within our power to change.

In the OAK:Tarot of Love and Romance I’ve chosen to use Wands, Swords, Cups, and Pentacles respectively for the same purpose. In this deck we use each suit to explore Spiritual love, Platonic love, Emotional love and Physical love between the male and the female.

These four suits are known as the “Minor Arcana” and the trumps are known as the “Major Arcana”. The Minor Arcana are the tarot cards we most identify with and we will begin with the suit of Wands or Spiritual Love.

The four suits are further divided into Court Cards and number cards. The Court Cards represent personality types we might recognize. In tarot readings a Court card is usually chosen to represent the individual asking for a reading. You might recognize yourself in one of these Court cards or you might recognize parts of yourself in all of them!

Lastly the descriptions given in this book describe how a male might experience the card and how a female might experience the card. I’ve done this for stylistic purposes. For example, if I say a card represents a male placing a female upon a pedestal I am describing how one person in a relationship might place the other on a pedestal. I don’t mean only males place females upon pedestals. I’m simply trying to describe an energy dynamic that is taking place between two people involved in a love relationship and how each might respond.

Today we are going to talk about fourth century incubus and succubus experiences. Now the common ignorant peasant with roots in organic Gnosticism and with roots in the pagan religions were in a battle against the anti-life religion of the literate elites. Let’s face it, the common people enjoyed the earth and the pleasures of the earth. They had strong genetic roots to Gaia and to all living things.

The literate elite didn’t. They were living in their heads like people are currently doing in today’s world. The practice of magic was outlawed in the fourth century. Philosophers were driven out and books were burned. Original thought was no longer allowed. The church had determined in the Council of Nicaea which gospels were to represent Christianity and there wasn’t anything else that was to be taught. That was the truth. Everything else was satanic and was a lie.

The church created its own form of magical ceremonies through the rituals of Mass, baptism and marriage. Holy water was used to drive out Satan. But it didn’t matter what they tried because sexuality was a part of human nature. This movement of organic Gnosticism was spreading all over the near East and Satan was everywhere.

Sexuality was repressed, but excessive masturbation led to incubus and succubus attacks. The repressed sexual energies activated and brought out psychotic episodes. These psychotic episodes were called demonic possession and people feared them.

They didn’t realize that it was their own pent up emotions that were erupting. The Messalinian sect believed the devil was trying to possess them and beat themselves trying to drive Satan out of their physical bodies. Exorcisms became commonplace as the Church desperately tried to kill the human passions because they were demonic.

Eternal damnation was everywhere. There was no hope.

What was really happening was that these monks and these nuns were using autoerotic practices and working with sexual energy through masturbation even if they didn’t know what they were doing. It was building up pressure inside them and causing repressed emotions to flareup.

That’s an important part of the healing process when properly understood. So what was happening was the shadow side and the repressed hidden things were being explosively brought out into the open and those were the things that frightened people. Those were the things that were considered satanic and demonic.

They came out as the incubus or succubus. What is an incubus or succubus? They are personality fragments of real people that are activated through excessive sexual activity, especially autoerotic sexual activity and they will go out at night in your dreams and find a compatible opposite sex energy to merge with because that’s what sexual energy does.

It’s the merging of male and female energies. But the key to the incubus and the succubus is that they act on the unconscious side. They act on the repressed side and never represent conscious awareness. What they represent is the dark side and the hidden side of who you are and the more you repress and the more distorted your beliefs are, the more distorted your dark side is.

So these episodes of incubus or succubus attacks were really distorted expressions of their own repressions mingled with the distorted repressions of whoever their energy was attracted to. That is what made it so frightening. That is what made it so demonic because it was the distortions that made these things so so horrifying and people were caught in a loop. The more they repressed sexual energy, the stronger these psychotic experiences and attacks became because they were generating more and more energy. They were sexual addicts.

That’s what happens if you don’t work with sexual energy in a healthy way.

But you can work with sexual energy in a healthy way whether you’re doing it with a partner or doing it autoerotically. It ultimately heals because it is opening up repressioned energies and letting them out. That’s a healthy thing, because they are no longer stuck inside.

So in its blind way the Church through the repression of sexuality was actually forcing these sexual energies into the shadow and activating it. There are no such things as demons and the incubus or succubus. They are all fragments of real people, parts of us that we are afraid of.

But these parts are things that we don’t recognize and that we do not integrate. An important part of healthy mental and emotional well-being is to accept and integrate human sexuality in true human sexual experiences.

This was not happening because of the distorted belief systems of early Christianity. Some of the other religions were successfully working with these energies of Organic Gnosticism like the Buddhists who were developing the thunderbolt body or the diamond body. The martial arts were busy developing the immortal physical body.

These other spiritual paths were working with sexual energies in a more balanced way because their distortions were not as severe.

When you have an erotic dream that person is not aware of the encounter because what’s coming to you is a part of their shadow energy and the part of you that goes out to other people does the same thing. We are not consciously aware of these things, but they are parts of us. We can become more aware of them once we integrate our own shadow aspect.

PROCEDURE FOR DEVELOPING SEXUAL ENERGY

MALE:

The male should drain the bio-electric and magnetic field energy from the testes by slowly approaching orgasm and by avoiding ejaculation and loss of sperm cells. This pleasurable energy should be forced out of the sperm cells and into the physical and astral body by channeling it up the spine. It will find its way naturally upward to transform into mental and spiritual energy. The waves of pleasurable energy should fill the entire body if possible.

This should be done once or twice a day. In the beginning this energy must pierce through a pain barrier. There will be a few instances of severe pain at the base of the spine lasting from ten to fifteen minutes. Nothing can be done to prevent this. It is caused by the sexual energy being forced from the lowest astral levels into the higher levels.

As the energy channels open this will not happen anymore except in very rare activations of this astral “pain” body.

After draining the energy from the testes your body will have an imbalance of male/female energy. You will attract female energy to you to neutralize the excess male energy. Visualize the energy ball and plunge it deep within the center of the earth where it will attract energy from your soul mate. Then raise the energy ball as high as possible into the “spiritual” light. Do this a few times until you feel that your male/female energy is balanced. This will distribute the energy evenly throughout your entire system.

FEMALE:

Try to reach orgasm as quickly as possible and raise the sexual energy as high as possible. Hold the orgasm at its peak for as long as possible trying to fill the entire physical and astral body with sexual energy. The energy will tend to fall back downward toward the earth.

This should be done once or twice a day. In the beginning this energy must pierce through a pain barrier. There will be a few instances of severe pain at the base of the spine lasting from ten to fifteen minutes. Nothing can be done to prevent this. It is caused by the sexual energy being forced from the lowest astral levels into the higher levels.

As the energy channels open this will not happen anymore except in very rare activations of this astral “pain” body.

After the sexual energy has been drained from the ovaries the physical and astral body will have a surplus of female sexual energy and will attract male energy to it to neutralize the surplus. Visualize an energy ball and raise it as high into the “spiritual” light source as possible. It will attract male soul mate energy to neutralize the excess female energy. Then plunge the energy ball into the center of the earth. Do this several times until the normal balance of male/female energy is restored. This will distribute the energy evenly within your system.

Tonight we are going to talk about third century Christianity and the rise of Tantrism in the near East. In the third century under Emperor Constantine the Roman Empire converted to Christianity. The first Council of Nicaea determined what the official doctrine of the Christian church was going to be. Basically what they did was agree to only use the written words of the apostles. The Church was not going to condone or authorize direct mystical experiences. There were too many people out there claiming to be enlightened. They were claiming to have visions and to be new messiahs.

The Church was going to rely directly on the writings of the apostles. What was really happening was that social enforcers and rational atheists were taking over the church. The church was becoming a valuable commodity that had power and prestige.

A lot of simple folk were attracted to a message of the heart and especially with the conversion of Rome politics came into this in a very big way. So this was a big thing and the first thing they did was get rid of the the mystics, especially the organic Gnostics. These were the ancient people, who had lived in that area. The original Gaia inhabitants that had a true genetic connection to the earth.

The sense of self and the development of the soul was to remain secret and to belong only to the literate and superior upper classes. They needed to find a way to control the masses.

The ordinary people didn’t know how to read and write. They just believed in their heart. But they did have an organic connection to the earth and to each other and they remembered the old teachings of sexuality and the balance of male and female. This happened during the first few centuries of Christianity.

After the crucifixion of Jesus Tantrism began to emerge in the near East or Eastern Europe. This included the entire area from India up through the Balkans. It was Tantrism that created a new spiritual and religious trend. Everybody wanted to get in on it. It especially appealed to the common people, and if you remember Jesus actually reached out to these same common and simple folk.

I think there’s a good possibility that this was the real message that he was teaching. It was the balance of male and female within each person and how, through love relationships and through human sexuality the immortal human soul was developed.

This movement penetrated everywhere. It heavily influenced Hinduism, but that was not the only thing it influenced. It also influenced yoga schools in Buddhism.

Buddhism was given a brand-new shot in the arm by this new current that was called the way of the diamond or the thunderbolt. It taught how to develop the immortal thunderbolt body or the diamond body.

The Church taught that the way to develop the soul was to deny the physical. Tantrism was the opposite. It taught that it was the excessive generation of physical energies, especially sexual energies that caused the creation and development of the immortal soul body. The immortal soul body was more than pure mental energy. It also included all the other energies that was possible for the human body to experience.

It was mental energy plus it was Etheric energy. It granted the development of magical abilities. This was a magical current and it was considered a path of action, not ritualism and not contemplation. This was a path of practical realization and direct experience. If it didn’t work, if you didn’t get immediate results then you could go someplace else.

That was what was so profound about Tantrism and its sexual secrets. They were the secrets of using the energies of the body. The secrets of awakening the male and female forces inside the body through physical excesses, not through denial. It was the beginning of what has been called the left-hand path.

The denial of the physical body is the right-hand path. It’s that simple.

You develop the soul by stressing the physical body through excess. The martial arts also taught how you could build the immortal physical body through the generation of excessive physical energies.

But western Europe and the Christian church took what was called the right-hand path which was the denial of the physical body. The denial of everything below the head.

This new teaching of Tantrism was profoundly different and it was a danger to the existence of the church. That is why the church was so against sexuality and against the female because this new teaching was a continuation of the female current and of goddess worship. This balance of male and female required the female to play a very important role and that was a big threat to the patriarchal anti-female Christian church that was forming in Constantinople.

We are talking about the third and fourth century of early Christianity. This was happening and we don’t hear a thing about it. That’s how suppressed these teachings of Organic Gnosticism were.

The hidden meaning of Tantra is to weave and these teachings taught how to weave male and female energies together in the creation of the human soul. This was the secret teaching and it came out of nowhere a few centuries after the beginnings of Christianity.

I have no doubt in my mind that these teachings were part of the secret teachings that Jesus taught to the common people. The common folk were attracted to these kinds of things.

The educated elite were trying to get in their head and create the soul out of the marriage of Christ and Sophia. They wanted nothing to do with Tantrism. They called it satanic.

The action of the lunar cycle will stress and rack the astral planes forcing “normal” astral creations to give way to “phase-locked” astral creations. All that you need to do is keep a steady supply available and let the process work itself.

Sexual energy is stored in the sex glands. In the male sexual energy is stored in the testes and in the female it is stored in the ovaries. There are significant differences between male sexual energy and female sexual energy that must be understood.

Both the testes and the ovaries act as batteries that store and discharge bio-electrical and magnetic field energy. During the female orgasm this energy is forced out of the ovaries and floods into both the physical body and into the astral body giving a pleasurable sensation as it flows. The ovaries then draw energy from the earth to recharge themselves making it possible for the female to have multiple orgasms.

During the male orgasm this energy excites the sperm so much that under normal conditions ejaculation occurs causing the loss of these vital “batteries” as well as most of the bio-electrical and magnetic field energy that they contain. This loss should be minimized for our purposes.

The simplest way to prevent this loss is for the male to have a vasectomy which will prevent the sperm from leaving the body. Instead the orgasm energy will be forced into the physical and astral body in the same manner as it is with a female orgasm. The depleted sperm will then recharge themselves from “spiritual” light energy and be capable of multiple orgasms after recharging.

It is the pleasurable waves of energy that fill the body with energy and force it into the astral and not the energy contained in the sperm itself that is important. Retaining the sperm simply helps in a rapid recharging that makes five or six sessions a day possible if desired.

Loss of the sperm would not make this number of sessions possible over long periods of time. The physical body could not replace the lost sperm cells that fast. By delaying orgasm as long as possible the male will inject the greatest amount of sexual energy into the astral. The critical thing is to experience the waves of pleasurable energy flooding the body because it is at that time the physical energy becomes astral energy. These injections of energy are cumulative and enlarge the passageways already opened by the spiritual energies.

If a vasectomy is not desired it is possible to prevent ejaculation by learning to slowly drain the testes of their energy and never approach full orgasm. The pleasurable sensation is the flow of energy into the body and is what is worked for. It is also possible to prevent ejaculation by tightening the pelvic diaphragm muscles at the right time.

In time energy channels open up and this process can become very routine with the energy easily flowing from the testes into the physical and astral body without a loss of sperm or minimal loss of sperm.

As a general rule the male orgasm should be approached and prolonged as long as possible to completely drain the testes of their energy before ejaculation. The female orgasm should be reached as quickly as possible and held at its peak for as long as possible.

In both cases a point will be reached where no more energy is available until the body is recharged.

The reason for this difference is that the male’s energy source is light energy and his sexual energy will tend to rise naturally through the body and transform itself into mental and spiritual energy. As it rises through the body it will activate and loosen trapped “black energy” causing the energy also to transform into mental energy and rise into conscious awareness. The main goal is to get the sexual energy forced into the physical and astral body. The rest will occur naturally.

The female energy source is earth energy and will tend to remain as low in the physical and astral body as possible. The object is to raise this energy during orgasm as high as possible within the body and keep it at that level as long as possible. Female sexual energy will not release “black” energy but it will raise it up until it finds a suitable outlet and then let it go down again to find its way into physical events.

In this respect female energy tends to impel “black” energy into physical events. This tendency can be guarded against with the proper use of the energy ball described later. Also, when the physical and astral body is completely saturated with sexual energy the “black” energy is then forced completely out of the body through the top of the head. During orgasm the energy should be pushed as high as possible trying to force it entirely out of the head into the spiritual light source.

Both the male and the female should attempt to channel the sexual energy up the spine instead of through the organs of the body. The reason for this is that the spine has already been prepared by the use of the energy ball during the lesser work described in chapter five. With a little practice it will also carry the denser sexual energy. In time the sexual energy will also channel itself effortlessly through the organs and the bone structure.

In the male this sexual energy will gradually build up inside the physical and astral body expelling all foreign energies. It will accumulate at the top of the head and gradually force itself downward into the lower emotional levels activating one astral body after another until they are all united into one “phase-locked” astral body that can travel on all astral levels.

Finally the pressure of this sexual energy buildup will force itself out the base of the spine into the earth’s astral plane where it will eventually contact your soul mate’s astral energy.

In the female the sexual energy will build up until it is forced out the top of the head and into the earth’s astral planes. She will activate one astral body at a time from the lowest to the highest and will need to deal with feelings of extreme sensuality and the problems that her “raw” sexual energy attracts to her in the form of inappropriate male attention. Her excess female energy will attract male energy to her that is not her soul mate’s.

The important thing to realize is that the pleasurable sensations that flood the body during sexual arousal and orgasm are the sexual energies being drained from the sex organs into the physical body and the astral body. These pleasurable sensations should be made to last as long as possible.

The physical body will only be able to store so much of this energy and the rest will be forced into the astral body and into the astral planes. This will strengthen the astral body and fill the astral planes with your sexual energy in a cumulative manner.

If you do not have a partner the sexual energy will activate your astral bodies one at a time before entering into the astral planes by getting opposite sex energy directly from the collective and the environment. If you have a partner the energy will merge with your partners and escape directly into the astral plane and into the collective before permanently activating any astral bodies. When the astral plane is filled to bursting with your sexual energy it will back up and begin to activate your astral bodies one at a time. If your partner is not your soul mate the relationship will then be dissolved and you will separate.

What this means is that it doesn’t matter how you do it as long as you daily force sexual energy into the astral. The end result will be eventual contact with your true soul mate and a phase-locking of sexual energies on the astral plane. As in so many things practice makes perfect and it is the effort that counts with each occurrence adding to what is already in the astral.

Male sexual energy is expansive and destructive in nature. It will tend to expand and destroy other astral creations that it comes into contact with. It forces itself through astral blocks and barriers forming new pathways for the energy to flow.

Female sexual energy is restrictive and blocking in nature. It will tend to block off unwanted astral energies and isolate itself within an impenetrable wall of phase-locked astral energy.

The male must not only find his soul mate since she can’t find him, he must also have enough energy to penetrate the protective barrier that she has placed around herself by isolating herself from other male energies. The continuous addition of sexual energy into the astral will assure that this happens in a timely manner.

As mentioned earlier, the entire process is quite automatic and will happen according to the laws of nature and not according to the laws of man.

Tonight we are going to talk about the slippery slope of Gnosticism. Now in the second century people struggled with the concept of dualism and the emergence of Gnosticism and Manichaeism. We need to be careful here. Remember there are two forms of dualism and two forms of Gnosticism that we need to be aware of. What I call Organic Gnosticism is the loving balance of male and female opposites that celebrates life and the development of the soul through love relationships. The other traditional form of Gnosticism is one that believes in the battle of opposites between good and evil. The battle that destroys life.

So we want to be careful because it’s too easy to talk about the destructive Gnosticism of good and evil and forget about the Organic Gnosticism that we are really interested in. The followers of Manichaeism were also called the Christians of St. John the Baptist. They believed in baptism. They believed that matter was evil and spirit was good. They believed the world was satanic. They taught reincarnation and it became the most widespread religion in the world at the time reaching far into Asia.

Was this heresy or was it actually an influence on early Christianity? The message of baptism and that matter is evil and spirit is good? That the world is satanic? That sounds very familiar and I’m willing to suggest that it was assimilated into early Christianity, even if it may not have been taught by Jesus himself.

I’d like to mention Zoroastrianism in contrast, which at the time was five or six centuries older. Zoroastrianism is one of the earliest known religions and in its beliefs we see a bridge to the even earlier goddess religions with their balance of male and female. That is the Organic Gnosticism we are really looking for.

So we also see an interesting influence in Zoroastrianism which was the state religion of Persia for centuries. In Zoroastrianism the world is good and was created by a good God. There is no devil and it is a celebration of life. There is order and chaos. Later the concept of chaos became personified by Ahriman but not in the beginning.

There is only one path and that is the path of truth. People were to do the right thing because it was the right thing to do. It was very simple. Make the world a better place! They believed there would be a judgment day and a Messiah at the day of judgment.

Each person would be held accountable for their actions in life. You can see that some of this religion may have influenced Christianity, but it is far older. It was the Manichean’s that brought in the concept of Satan and that the material world was evil.

The early Church was in a battle for each individual soul. The soul was an evolutionary offshoot of literacy and the invention of reading and writing. But the simple people weren’t able to read and write! These simple people had strong bonds with nature and they kept a religion of the heart. They were Zoroastrians or pagans and later we will see how these bonds with nature branched out into the teachings of Tantrism and the use of sexuality as a form of soul development.

But there’s a big split here, and the main point that I’m trying to make in this message is that there were two types of Gnosticism and you want to be very clear which one you’re talking about. You want to be very clear which one was heretical. We are also going to be seeing just how anti-sexual the early Christian church actually was.

There was another religion around that time called Mandaism that didn’t last very long. They also believed in the split between good and evil. So what seemed to be happening was that some people began to develop the Observer self or watcher watcher self. They begin to have a concept of self which they called the soul.

It was the part of us that watches in our dreams, where a part of us stands back and watches another part of us. That is what was considered the soul and what was so important. That is what people were getting so excited about because they believed that it proved the immortality of consciousness and life after the death of the physical body and they became fanatical about it.

But the thing is, it was only available to the elites because it was actually part of reading and writing. That’s why the big move into religious head tripping. That’s why the move away from the common people and away from the common religions.

This was also when the elites started to prevent the common people from developing their own egos and their own sense of self. Their own abilities of reading and writing was proof of their superior intellect. They felt that this made them superior even though the common simple people had heart and had love in their hearts.

Self-esteem and the development of the soul has a lot more to do with heart than it has to do with the intellect and the mind. Self-esteem also has a lot more to do with survival with competency than it has to do with intellect. So we are seeing already during the second century the pressure to keep the uneducated, lower classes down. It was also decided to take sex away from the common people because sex was dangerous, it developed the soul and they didn’t want the common people developing their souls.
