Introduction
I’ve read on several occasions and in several books Master
Samael saying that carnal passions must be eliminated, and each time that I
read it, I didn’t really know what he meant. I always asked myself: “What
really are carnal passions?”. Finally, I understood what they are and this post
is a brief explanation of what I understand them (carnal passions) to be.
Carnal Passions
I understand them to be the passion or enthusiasm or liking
or excitement for things of the flesh. That is the liking or enthusiasm to
experience the body of another person.
When people like certain body parts and like bodies that
look this way and that, they are expressing their carnal passions in one way or
another I think.
Carnal Passions and the Appreciation of Beauty are Different
Obviously we have to be very intelligent here. To tell yourself: "I am not going to have carnal passions and I am not going to like the physical
body anymore of anyone" is a recipe for disaster because, we end up suppressing without
comprehension our egos of carnal passion, and we then end up in time swinging with gusto over to
the other side. This is a law.
Obviously, also the physical body is a creation of the Divine
Mother or mother nature and so it has its beauty. This beauty can be respected and
appreciated without carnal passions. When carnal passions take hold, one then
ends up as Dante says losing their reason to carnal passion, and what follows
is error and regret.
So always the middle way, which is the wise way and the intelligent
way, is the solution. To suppress is wrong, to fall into it is also wrong, so the middle is the
right way which is the wise combination of both sides. Which would be to
respect, appreciate and comprehend beauty as a creation of the Divine Mother. This appreciation
does not reject and does not produce a blind falling into or attachment to.
Element of Lust
Carnal passions are a large part of the egos of lust. And it
can be this element alone that can be a secret driving force behind many
processes and actions of lust.
Conclusion
Dante gave us the key so many years ago! Master Samael
completed the key instructing us to comprehend them and dissolve them!
End (1601).
