THE PRIESTESS
1. One’s wife is the Athanor of the Sexual Alchemy.
2. The human being left Paradise through the doors of Eden, and Eden is Sex itself.
3. The door to Paradise is Sex.
4. Those who want to enter Eden have to seek the door.
5. One’s wife is the door.[1]
6. In the East they speak of the awakening of the Kundalini.
7. The Kundalini is the Sacred Fire of the Holy Spirit.
8. The Kundalini is the Pentecostal Fire.
9. The Kundalini is the fiery Serpent of our magical powers.
10. The Kundalini is an extremely powerful fire.
11. That very powerful fire is enclosed within the Muladhara Chakra.
12. The Muladhara Chakra is the coccygeal Church.
13. The Muladhara Chakra is situated in the coccyx.
14. The Muladhara Chakra has four petals, forming a cross.
15. This is the Flaming Sword.
16. With this fiery sword, disciples awaken all of their powers and become Kings and Queens and Priests and Priestesses of the Universe, with powers over the earth, over the water, over the fire and over the air.
17. There is a channel that runs the length of the spinal cord that in the East is called the Sushumna channel.
18. In this medullar channel there is a fine nerve thread through which the Kundalini ascends.
19. As the Kundalini keeps rising through the spinal medulla, all our occult powers keep awakening.
20. The secret to awaken the Kundalini is the following:
21. To introduce the virile member into the vagina of one’s wife and withdraw it without spilling the semen.
22. The restrained desire will cause our seminal liquid to rise toward our head.
23. This is how our Kundalini awakens.
24. This is how our disciples can become gods. (See A Treatise of Sexual Alchemy, by the same author).
[1] We should keep in mind that Samael Aun Weor is speaking on different levels here, including the level of Alchemical archetypes corresponding to the Tarot. Some readers, due to cultural biases and lack of sufficient reflection, have misinterpreted his words. He has clarified in other writings that both men and women have exactly the same possibilities of attaining Self-Realization in its totality, and therefore both men and women have the same rights and the same responsibilities in relation to this Path. It becomes clear that this Path of Sexual Alchemy, the Path of the Perfect Matrimony, the Path of the inner Self-Realization of our own Being, is one of mutual love, mutual respect and mutual responsibility.
