Black Waters Need to Become White Waters - (792)

Introduction

Strange today seems to be a real water day - posts about undines and mermaids and now one about the sexual waters.

Black Waters

We know that the human being has the potential to produce in his or her sexual waters or in other words in his or her sexuality certain degrees of change, purification and enlightenment. By enlightenment I essentially mean degrees of understanding about how our Divinity is related to our sexuality and how the state of our sexuality draws us closer to the various degrees of realisation of our inner Divine Being.

The colours of the waters are many the Alchemists say, though the four main colours are: black, white, yellow and red.

I would like to dedicate this post to the black waters. This is because we come to the work having our waters more or less black and what we have to do is to transform them into the white colour, married or single it does not matter. We have to do something.

If we can know or come to fully realise and accept that we have our waters in the black state we can work with dedication and intent to transform our waters.

Characteristics of the Black Waters

I think even when an essence emerges from involution and takes a human body for the first time, that such a human being has his or her waters in the black state. However at the level of the black state that is closest to becoming white. A human being that has had many sexual experiences and has developed many vices and has been loosing the sexual energy for many years has his or her waters very black, that is blacker than such an essence who has just taken a human body for the first time.

However now, going into this matter, having our waters black affects us on many levels. The main characteristics are that we are fairly cloudy or unaware or ignorant of our sexuality, we think that it does not have any influence in our life and it does not have any affect on our psychology and the centres of our human machine. With the black waters we don’t even know our sexuality very well and when we try to understand more about it and work on the egos of lust we feel very confused and find it very difficult to understand them. Overall we are not very clear about sexuality at all, yet we are driven by it.

With the black waters we still have vices and are attached to sexual sensations and emotions that come from the activity or arousal of the sexual centre. With the black waters one only sees sex as the sexual act and only sees sex with the senses and in matter. One with the black waters can not imagine sex outside of the senses being pleased and intense sexual sensations being felt. One with the black waters feels that one needs sex to be focussed on the sensual and physical side of it, even the emotional romantic side of it as well. The spiritual side or esoteric side of sex does not feature or exist for one with the waters black.

With the waters black in one, one does not feel well within oneself, there is a constant unbalance, desire is always present and there is the lustful perception always working in the background. One feels prone to anger and frustration, and a kind of desire rich, agitated fuel or energy runs through ones body. It is difficult to concentrate and one is easily restless and one is not drawn towards the Being in one, but more drawn to distraction of the senses.

Indications that we have Black Waters

The above paragraphs I feel can give one a good indication of the state of our waters. However, there two other ways in which one can know for sure about the state of one’s waters.

Dreams

If one dreams wearing black or brown or dark coloured under wear, that is a sign that one has the waters black. Note the colours of the waters can change depending on the quality of our work.

One may dream about a pond or a pool of water and see the water of the pond black or putrid with dead fish and full of excrement, that is a clear sign that we have our waters black.

In general, seeing the colour black in a scenario that has elements of sexuality in it is a clear sign that we have our waters black.

Sexual Act

If we during the sexual act in the Alchemy, we forget the Being, and only think about and focus on sensations and emotions as the 'be all and end all', then we have the waters black. If we can not control our sexual organs or we can not control our motor centre we have our waters black still. If a man loses his sexual energy because he can not control his mind, his waters are still black.

With the white waters one comes to control, balance and make calm one’s whole system. A harmony exists and one can quieten their mind during the sexual act.

Key to Turn Black to White

The key is the yearning for the Being. One must use one’s sexuality with yearning in our mind and heart for our Real Being. This is a conscious act and it is one that is focussed away from the senses and the sensations and onto one’s inner Real Being. This is to make sex spiritual.

Using the sexual energy with this up and inward focus permits the sexual energy to be transmuted and sublimated and this changes the colours of our waters. It also makes us more and more conscious of our sexuality (because this practice must be done in a state of alertness) and it will allow us to control our sexuality and come to realise that sexuality has the ability to take us closer and closer to our Being and that we are the only one’s that are responsible for using our sexual energy in a way that takes us closer or more distant from our Being.
