Sublimation of the Sexual Energy - (12)

Revised 26/07/224

Introduction

Much is said in the Gnostic studies about transmutation and sublimation. Those who study Gnosis know that sublimation is the main aim, or rather the pinnacle of what we can and should do with the sexual energy.

We know that it is necessary to transmute the sexual energy and that by itself, is truly wonderful, it is something much better in all the senses then losing the sexual energy. But we know that what is better still, that of a higher octave than transmutation, is to be able to sublimate the sexual energy.

This post gives one version of what the sublimation of the sexual energy is.

Transmutation

Transmutation in the general sense is essentially the transformation of one substance into another. However in Gnostic circles, transmutation is more commonly known in terms of the transformation of the raw sexual energy.

Transmutation is the conscious act of transforming the raw sexual energy into a purer form of energy that is called Mercury. Not the raw mercury which is the sacred sperm or the seminal entity but the transmuted mercury. This is the second of the three mercuries spoken about in Gnosis.

The three mercuries are: one – the raw mercury that is the raw sexual energy, the sacred sperm, the seminal entity or the sexual secretions in women, two –the transmuted raw sexual energy and three – the transmuted sexual energy fecundated by the fire of the Divine mother which is also known as the red mercury, which is the kundalini.

The second mercury is achieved in the transmutation and it is where the metallic soul of the sexual energy is extracted by means of conscious will and imagination from the raw sexual energy. The metallic soul is pure energy, it is no longer a mixture of liquid, matter and energy. This energy once extracted can freely travel up the various subtle energy conductors in the spine (the main two being Ida and pingala) to reach the brain.

During a transmutation practice one may definitely feel heat, an increase in vitality and clarity. This is because the extracted sexual energy is filling the body and the brain. The interesting thing is, that for the transmutation to be effective, only will, imagination and concentration is required, which is really marvellous. However, what is important for us to know is that there exists a superior octave of the transmutation and that is what we call sublimation. We in our practices have to go from transmutation which can be something technical, to sublimation which is something of the heart. We all someday have to arrive at a sublimation of our sexual energies.

Emotion and the Sexual energy

The message of this post is to really put across the point of how important a role the emotional centre plays in the transmutation and sublimation of the sexual energy. I would say that the emotional centre is really the critical focal point or the central pivot of the whole practice with our sexual energies.

If we have an emotional state aligned with transmutation then we will transmute well, if the emotional state is aligned with the ego and the loss of the sexual energy the practice will end with a loss of sexual energy, or if not a loss, one could be left with discomfort felt in the testicles for a man, which is due to arousing the energy but not moving it into the other areas of the body through transmutation.

Essentially the sexual energy follows the mind, though when emotions are present it follows the mind or the emotions even more powerfully and rapidly.

To sublimate we need mystical emotion. Within that mystical emotion is self-remembering. Where we remember the Being that dwells within us and we are conscious that this energy that we are transmuting must go back to the Being. That is to our real Being, or the source of our existence or the very reason for why we are here and have consciousness and life coursing through ourselves.

Mysticism

I want briefly to clarify something about mysticism, typically we think that mysticism is to be like a saint such as Saint Francis of Assisi but this is not really how it has to be. Mysticism is to see the magic and mystery of life everywhere around us and to feel part of all of that magical life force and mystery. Not necessarily to be praying the commonly known prayers while kneeling and walking around with our hands joined together as if we are praying.

Sublimation

So then sublimation is to activate and vibrate intensely with a kind of mysticism while transmuting the sexual energy. Then with our focus due to this mysticism on the Inner Being, the transmuted energy will go to the Being and crystallise in the form of soul.

This mysticism which is a state of consciousness understands why we have the sexual energy and from where it originates. We know that the supplier is the Being and that this energy is really here for us to crystallise in the form of an inner creation. That inner creation is our solar bodies and our soul or golden embryo. This state of mysticism always incorporates a kind of self-remembering or remembering of the Inner Being, that is the spiritual dimension within us.

Conclusion

Sublimation has to be our goal, that is the best thing that we do with to the sexual energy, to return it to the Being so to fix it in our Being. If we are sublimating the sexual energy we can feel at peace because by cause and effect it crystallises in us as soul, but before that it transforms the colours of our waters and brings about one day the fecundation of our transmuted sexual waters with the fire of the Divine Mother, which will be the awakening of the kundalini and the opening of the initiatic path.

What is the Kundabuffer or Kundartiguador? - (405)

Introduction Gurdjieff and Master Samael spoke much about the Kundabuffer organ and a lot of what Master Samael said is pretty clear. This post is just about going over some of what he said. In the Quinto Evangelio, Master Samael also revealed many more details which do not appear in his books. Note, the Qunito Evangelio is a two tome compilation of transcriptions of many recordings of informal talks that Master Samael had with his students. English and Spanish Terms There are these two terms Kundartiguador and Kundabuffer which refer to the same thing. Kundartiguador is Spanish and Kundabuffer is English. I believe it was Gurdjieff who first introduced these terms in his book “Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson”. I believe “Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson” was not originally written in ether Spanish or English. So these terms Kundartiguador and Kundabuffer are translations where the word “Kunda” could not be translated and the ending "buffer" could b...

When We Speak Bad About Ourselves - Because of Self-Compassion - (2963)

Even Just Thinking Negative When we just even think, let alone speak about ourselves in a negative way, thinking things like: how we are really this and that bad and that is not at all what others see, that we are in capable, worth little, know nothing, can't do this and that, fail at this and that, a liar, a dreamer the list goes on... We can be 100% sure that self-compassion is behind this because pride by itself would never allow this.  In a case like this self-compassion taps into what pride hides from itself and others and exposes it. Feeling that it is doing job at ruining ourselves. Why It Does What It Does? Self-compassion does this sort of thing to avoid reprimand and to extract compassion from others. Self-compassion is about getting compassion for ourselves through others. It is set-up in relativity, using others as a reference point. Really the best thing that you can do for a person who is pitted against this ego is to ignore them, so that they can fa...

The Divine Mother is there when we Comprehend - (5780)

A very wonderful instructor gave a talk on Koradi Radio a few days ago and he said something that really impacted. He said that when we comprehend something, our Divine Mother is present right in that moment of comprehension. Especially if it is do with an "I" we are working on. He went on to say that he knows that She is there when we comprehend something. This for me was marvellous, because I have felt the same, though I was never fully sure. This is great news when we want to build a connection to our Divine Mother and doubt when is present. We can know that She is present when we are trying to comprehend. I feel that She really wants us to comprehend the "I" and further more She helps us to comprehend. We can truly ask for Her help to comprehend something and the help will come in such a natural way that we will tend to overlook it.   She is better than Google...  End (5780).
