Excerpt from Gate 4:
Esoteric Personality

The journey through the labyrinth is a process of hermetic transmutation-- transforming the inauthentic persona back into the true self. We are each responsible for the harmonious resolution of all tensions and polarities within our own being.  Such work is never easy, for it involves full confrontation of the lesser self, and the bringing to light of that which would otherwise shun the light. To exemplify the courage to change is already heroic. At the same time, it is a wise admonition that the best way to dispel evil is to make energetic progress in the good.

Hermetic transmutation is a mental art that requires the cultivation of will. Determine, to begin with, to be really good, says Eliphas Levi, and all that you do will be good. Will is the quality of the alignment of the third-dimensional self with the fourth-dimensional soul essence, as guided by the fifth-dimensional guardian or angel. The cultivation of will provides the direction or force of momentum that helps us to attain higher ends on behalf of the All.

In this process of hermetic transmutation, we must persevere with invincible patience. The first step is to take heed of our inner motives and make them pure. This means we must be honest with ourselves and see things clearly, fairly and objectively, so that we can judge rationally and not allow ourselves to be carried away by prejudice or passion. It is a sacred struggle to pass from the conditioned self to the self of the higher harmony; it is a sacred struggle to remain awake to conditioned social factors. For this reason, it is of comfort to hear stories of initiates who have tread the path before us working on behalf of the Higher Plan.

This Gate 4 focuses on the constellation of esoteric and hermetic personalities that arose in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Because these esotericists appeared in the industrial age, they are set apart from personalities of earlier times. Through their lives and teachings we can begin to feel a mini fractal of the cycle of transformation over the last 260 years...

During the course of this writing, the following personalities made their presences known the most strongly: Eliphas Levi, Madame Blavatsky, Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, G.I. Gurdjieff, Aleister Crowley, Alice Bailey, Nicholas and Helena Roerich, Dane Rudhyar and Mevlana (Bulent Corak).

All of these adepts or initiates form aspects of a higher template of order that prepares the ground for the emergence of a new evolutionary type. This higher comprehension of order and harmony comprises all parts of one larger body, similar to the mystical body of Christ. Below is a brief biography of each of these pioneers of esoteric thought, who carved new paths into the future that still influence our world today... 


Excerpt from Gate 11:
Sex and the Coming Noogenesis

Sexual energy as an evolutionary force has the power to unlock the plasmas, radion, prana and apana stored primarily in the root chakra. In Hindu tradition, the dynamic aspect of this energy is called shakti and is considered the foundation of consciousness. Release of this energy activates the chakras and psychoactive nerve centers that are aligned with the sushumna or the central channel of the body.

Universal regeneration is a function of the equalization of opposite forces in a self-created unified field. Any element always contains its opposite. If the right-hand side is the Shakti then the left-hand side is the Shiva; the upper part represents the dominant force and the lower part is the opposite force. It is these opposite forces that attract the like force in the other. If these opposite forces didn’t exist one within the other, then they would repel, since like attracts like.

Even though man and woman are opposite, they still have a like element in the other. This is a description of the law of sex. Man and woman create the infinity sign. The negative charge of the blue side that is dominant balances the positive red side and vice versa. This creates infinity. This is why it says infinite universal self-regeneration. It is always occuring. This is also the basis of self-androgyny that we are evolving into—this is a type of angelic realm, where we will become like hyper-enlightened self-excitable paramecium, but without the need to reproduce. 

The nature of sexuality is such a powerful, intense energy that it must be harnessed and focused. This is the function of the sex organs. The sex organs can be likened to an electrical circuit: there is a plug and there is a socket. When we put the plug in the socket, then the light goes on. This is an obvious metaphor--but in the case of sex, the hookup creates a micro universe, a unified biocosmic totality.

When we divorce history from sexuality and sexuality from reproduction, then we create an opening. In this opening, we can unite the pure energy so that we become infinitely regenerating beings—regenerating both ourselves and the biosphere. Any unified force field has a powerful effect on the context in which it occurs. When there is a conscious unified force field that is created by two sexual partners who both understand the law of sex, then the consciousness in which they perform the sex act impacts the whole field with magnetic charges. This whole field can be extended into larger contexts from the social context to the planetary context and beyond.

If this kundalini, orgone or hidden stream of sexual energy, is the primary underlying circuit that creates cosmic universal life, then it must be an electromagnetically charged force. In this way, the Earth herself is an electromagnetically charged force of tremendous sexual potency... 

When we understand the different ways that we have sex and the different ways we utilize the sex organs then we can begin to experience our sexuality in a more categorically scientific manner in order to release and realize different levels of energy. We know that we exchange energy with each other in many different ways, from a touch, to a word, to a smile. We exchange much magnetic energy through eye contact. When we gaze into they eyes of another, we experience dissolution of ego identity, and recognition of our unity and oneness. Depending on the level of awareness, we can use eye contact to synergize higher levels of cosmic consciousness through a mutually interactive flow of magnetic light beams...
