Born of Water and Spirit
“The old texts of ancient wisdom say that in the supreme moment of metaphysical copula, the man and woman withdrew from the chemical copulation without ejaculating the semen. The sperm was considered sacred, and nobody in those times dared to profane sex” – Samael Aun Weor
To Be Born of Water and Spirit
Understanding the significance of baptism is crucial. Baptism symbolizes a commitment to sexual magic. If the child being baptized eventually honors the covenant of sexual magic, then the baptism is meaningful. However, if the child fails to uphold the pact of sexual magic, then what is the purpose of the baptism?
Baptism on Epiphany in Eastern churches is tied to the marriage at Cana, while in Western churches, it is associated with Jesus’ union with his church during epiphany. Therefore, baptism is linked to marriage and sex in both the east and the west, symbolizing a pact of sexual magic.
The effectiveness of baptism hinges on the fulfillment of sexual magic; without it, baptism loses its significance. I am sharing this with you to shed light on the esoteric importance of baptism.
Within Christian churches, the baptismal font holds great significance as it represents the philosophical stone and the creative organs. The magnetized or lustral waters contained in the font symbolize the sacred sperm. To put it simply, water embodies the Mercury of secret philosophy, while the fire from candles embodies the Sulphur of alchemy.
The second birth can only be achieved through Mercury, representing semen, and Sulfur, representing fire.
“The Semen is the astral liquid of man. In the semen is the Astral light” – Samael Aun Weor
To Be Born Again: The Second Birth
The second birth signifies the emergence of the true human being. It is essential to bear in mind the profound words shared by Jesus with Nicodemus:
“Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.”
The key to attaining the second birth lies in this fundamental aspect. However, the second birth cannot be accomplished without the creation of the superior existential bodies of the Being. These superior existential bodies cannot be brought into existence from nothingness, as nothing can emerge from nothingness. Therefore, the creation of the superior existential bodies of the Being must be based on Mercury and Sulfur.
Here in our rituals, we use the bread of transubstantiation to symbolize Mercury, the metallic soul of sperm, and the sacred wine to represent Sulfur, the fire of alchemy. It is essential to constantly mix Mercury and Sulfer within ourselves to produce the superior existential bodies of Being.
Mastering all of this knowledge is essential in unraveling the mystery of the seal of Solomon. The upward triangle, representing Sulfur and fire, signifies the superior aspect. The lower triangle, which is connected to the upper triangle, symbolizes Mercury, indicating the sacred metallic soul of sperm.
After completing the magnificent labor, an extraordinary ring of divine essence is bestowed upon the individual in the celestial realm. This magnificent ring is always worn on the ring finger of the right hand. What is depicted on this ring? Solomon’s seal. What does this seal signify? It signifies that the seeker has achieved the ultimate goal of obtaining the philosophical stone through the continuous amalgamation of Mercury and Sulfur.
By continuously combining Mercury and Sulfur, one can create the astral body. The next step involves creating the mental body, followed by the casual body. The possession of a physical body, an astral body, and a casual body automatically grants individuals their psychic spiritual principles, enabling them to truly embody the essence of being human, becoming an authentic human, a real human, a genuine human.
Upon attaining the second birth, one is considered to have truly become a human being. The first birth may have bestowed upon us the status of intellectual animals, but it is the second birth that grants us the privilege of being recognized as genuine humans. The continuous mixing of Mercury with Sulfur is symbolically depicted in the baptism ritual: the water symbolizes Mercury, while the fire represents the Sulfur used in alchemy.
The key to achieving the second birth and entering the kingdom of heaven after baptism lies in the intelligent combination of Mercury with Sulfur. Without working with these elements, baptism becomes meaningless.
Thus, baptism is a pact of sexual magic. Throughout the ritual of baptism, it is widely believed that the serene white dove, representing the Holy Spirit, gracefully descends upon the child’s head. This symbolism is deeply intertwined with the concept of the Holy Spirit embodying the same qualities as the enigmatic Mercury in the realm of secret philosophy.
Sulfur is essentially fire and should be interpreted as such. It is closely linked to Lucifer, which translates to “light-bringer” in Latin, similar to Prometheus. The presence of the luciferic power (fire) within oneself is what gives rise to the sexual impulse. The power of Sulfur is undeniably extraordinary. Mercury alone is powerless, but once it is combined with Sulfur, or fire, it gives rise to the superior bodies of the Being.
In its isolated state, Mercury lacks any inherent capabilities. Nevertheless, when Mercury is united with Sulfur, symbolizing fire, the resultant blend gives birth to the superior existential forms of the Being. Keep in mind that the Sacred Absolute Sun desires to solidify the three primary forces of nature and the cosmos within us, they are: Holy Affirming, Holy Denying, and Holy Reconciling.
Holy Affirming represents the positive force of the Father. Holy Denying embodies the negative force of the Son. Holy Reconciling symbolizes the neutral force of the Holy Spirit. In the eastern tradition, Brahma represents the Father, Vishnu the Son, and Lord Shiva the Holy Spirit.
Within the realm of the secret philosophy, the Holy Spirit, symbolized by Mercury, takes form within us as we engage in the alchemical process of working with Sulfur and Mercury. However, this sacred work can only be conducted within the laboratory setting. It necessitates the precise combination of the different elements of Mercury and Sulfur, and this laboratory resides within the human organism.
“When you build up your semen and do not spill it carelessly, you are alchemically creating millions more microscopic phosphorus cells in your blood. This extra phosphorus equates to more chemical energy that rises up your spine via the twisting serpents, the central nervous system, that can then be best utilized for your brain” – Moe Bedard
Therefore, within our laboratory, we intelligently combine Mercury, the metallic soul of the sperm, with Sulfur. This combination yields a formidable outcome: the birth of the astral body in the humanoid as the first outcome, the birth of the Mental body as the second outcome, and the birth of the Casual body as the third outcome. Once one possesses these vehicles, the true human, born of Mercury and Sulfur, of water and fire, is born. This is the understanding one must have. That is why Christ said:
“Except a man be born of water and of spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven.”
We need to undergo a rebirth. Simply being born as intellectual animals is not sufficient; it is quite subjective. Now, we must be born as true humans, and a true human is born of Sulfur and Mercury, as is always emphasized in baptism.
Rules and measures govern everything in life. Justice, a sacred concept, is undeniably real. In ancient times, alchemists symbolized justice with a divine queen-like figure holding a scale in her left hand, adorned with weights to maintain balance. Standing on a philosophical stone, she dons a white robe beneath a regal purple mantle, crowned with gold. Notably, she wields a sword of justice in her right hand. The significance lies in the precise weights and measures of the cosmic justice scale, emphasizing the necessity for laboratory work to align with the law.
The specific proportions of Sulfur and Mercury that are blended together remain undisclosed to ordinary individuals, and even the alchemists themselves. These enigmatic details belong to the realm of nature’s greatest secrets. Nonetheless, the alchemist’s work is governed by the principles of justice, as justice serves as their guiding principle.
If an alchemist has a priestess-wife and decides to engage in sexual activity with another woman, he commits adultery. This is because two conflicting currents inside the dorsal spine clash, resulting in a short circuit that burns the sacred thread where the snake rises. Adultery is a serious offense in alchemy.
Fornication is another grave matter to consider. Should the alchemist accidentally spill the cup of Hermes Trismegistus or lose the mercury, the consequences will be dire as the nadi chitra will surely ignite and the sacred snake will descend.
In order to accomplish the great work, it is imperative to submit oneself to the authority of the goddess of justice. Any transgression of the law of balance will lead to the complete collapse of the alchemist’s work. It is important to recognize that the construction of the superior existential bodies of the Being is a process rooted in alchemy, and this process must align with the principles of cosmic justice. Failure is inevitable if these principles are disregarded.
Those who fail to purge the inhuman psychic aggregates within themselves cannot achieve unity with divinity. These aggregates, resembling dry Mercury, are present in every human being alongside poisonous Sulfur. The eradication of dry Mercury is essential.
Poisonous Sulfur, residing in the lower animal depths of all living beings, must be removed in order to progress. Additionally, eliminating dry Mercury is essential for any advancement to take place. By removing dry Mercury and toxic Sulfur, it becomes possible to successfully extract gold from Mercury.
By recognizing that the higher spiritual aspects of a person are essentially a combination of Sulfur, Mercury and refined salt, we can grasp the connection between gold and Mercury. The deep connection between gold and Mercury is observable even within mines. Gold atoms are typically secured within Mercury, emphasizing the intimate relationship between these two elements. It is commonly observed that gold is frequently found alongside Mercury.
When the highest existential vessels of humanity are made of pure gold, they undoubtedly act as a shield for the inner metallic spirit that resides in all of us. I am speaking of the Inner Christ, the Interior Magnes of Kabbalah and alchemy, the master. The primary factor of the Great Work is unlocked through the practice of sexual union.
The Latin formula of the Great Arcanum is the following: “Inmisio membri virili in vagina Feminae sine ejeculatium seminis.” Refrain from expelling the mercury of the secret philosophy at all costs. Stay away from the bodily orgasm. Remember, this is the essential key to the Great Work.
Undoubtedly, within its profound essence, semen transforms into the mystical mercury of hidden wisdom. Once ignited by the fiery sulphur, it metamorphoses into the ultimate source of power and rejuvenation for mankind, the regenerator of the earthly being. “Odic Light” is the term used by top esoteric writers to describe divine radiations of a sexual nature. As science delves into the astral theory of the human body, it makes sense to utilize terminology from ancient tradition for clarity.
The Od [Hebrew] stands as an indisputable manifestation of brilliant positive active magnetism, under the guidance of the extraordinary power of conscious will. The intelligent faculty known as creative imagination wisely governs the passive magnetic fluid, the Obd [Hebrew]. Within the cosmic amphitheater, the Hebrew term “Aur” stands as the unique illuminating force, representing the genius Lucis.
The famous Caduceus of Mercury, encircled by serpents, embodies a regal depiction of Eros’ magnetic charm and harmony. The solar viper on the right symbolizes Od, while the lunar snake on the left represents Obd. At the tip of this enigmatic staff, the globe of Aur shines brightly.
The ancient Alchemists believed that through metaphysical intercourse, the nitrogen and magnesium could undergo incredible transformations within the polarized Astral Light. These intimate changes have a hidden impact on the electrochemical connections within our body’s essential components, ultimately leading to a complete structural transformation.
Waldemar says:
“When chemists tell us that all the biocatalysts of an organism appear to be an ordered system of inferior tele-causal factors, which act in accordance with life, in other words in the service of the superior objectives of the organism, it is not difficult to conclude that the formation of internal emotions, reflections or impulses, depends on the radio-causal factors of the aura. “Let us take a comparative look,” says Waldemar, “at the relationship between the living substance of ions and electrons, and we will be considerably nearer to comprehending the aforementioned.”
It is abundantly clear that during that extraordinary moment in the garden of pleasures, as the male organ enters deeply into the woman’s vagina, a highly unique electrical induction occurs. Without a doubt, the tele-causal elements of the aura experiencing electric impulses present unexpected opportunities. Profound psychological transformation can manifest in the depths of consciousness if we are able to intelligently harness the cosmic opportunity presented to us.
We forego such a remarkable opportunity when our intentions are solely focused on satisfying our senses. Instead of yielding to the insatiable sexual desire, it is more beneficial to engage in prayer; it is inscribed with fiery words in the book of mysteries that intercourse is a form of prayer. During the pinnacle of sexual surrender, amidst intercourse, meditate and pray in order to resist temptation.
The magical power within us lies dormant, coiled three and a half times in the Muladhara chakra, located in the coccygeal bone. By deeply contemplating the connection between the S and the Tao cross, we realize that the awakening of the creative serpent can only be achieved through the practice of Sahaja Maithuna (sexual magic). To unlock the key, one must refrain from spilling the vessel of Hermes (the ens seminis) during the sexual trance. It is crucial to connect the lingam-yoni (phallus-uterus) without releasing the ens seminis, as it holds the dormant power entity of fire.
The transformation of sexual energy into creative power is a well-established principle in Hermetic philosophy. The analysis of the dual nature of cosmic energy in the human body has been a subject of thorough examination in the initiatic schools of Egypt, Mexico, Greece, India, Persia, and more since ancient times.
The remarkable movement of the seminal energy towards the brain is enabled by a specific pair of nerve cords in the form of an eight, gracefully extending to the sides of the spinal column. This brings us to the Caduceus of Mercury, where the wings of the soul are beautifully open. These particular nerve cords cannot be observed with a scalpel. They are more of an ethereal, three-dimensional nature.
Certainly, these are the two witnesses mentioned in Saint John’s Apocalypse – “the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.” In the sacred realm of the Vedas, these two nerves are traditionally known as Ida and Pingala, with Ida being linked to the left nostril and Pingala to the right nostril. It is evident that Ida, the first of these two channels, is associated with the moon, while Pingala, the second channel, is of a solar nature.
Ancient customs that seem to appear mysteriously from the depths of time itself tell us that when the solar and lunar atoms of the reproductive system come into contact at the Triveni, a powerful force is awakened through electric induction. This force is none other than the Kundalini, the mystical fire of the Gnostic arhat, which allows us to transcend our animalistic ego and become one with the cosmos.
According to ancient wisdom, it is stated in age-old texts that the lower opening of the spinal cord in ordinary individuals is tightly sealed. However, this seal is broken by the release of seminal vapors, allowing the sacred snake to pass through.
Many mistakenly believe that Kundalini Devi is a mechanical phenomenon. In reality, the fiery serpent can only be aroused through authentic love shared between a husband and wife, and it will never travel up the spinal canal of adulterers.
As Hadit, the luminous winged serpent, awakens and commences its journey up the spinal cord, a peculiar sound resonates, closely resembling the hiss of a viper being taunted with a stick.
Kundalini symbolizes the mystic duality, the Mother-God, referred to as Isis, Mary, or more accurately, Ram-Io, Adonia, Insoberta, Rhea, Cybele, Tonantzin, and so forth; it signifies the transcendental unfolding of each divine Monad within the profound core of our essence.
The holy flame rises based on the virtues of the soul. Sexual alchemy is crucial, yet without purity, spiritual progress remains out of reach.
The Secret of the Golden Flower says:
“Purify the heart, wash the thoughts, stop pleasures, and conserve the seed.” “If the thoughts endure, the seed enduring, if the seed endures, the energy endures; if the energy endures, then will the spirit endure. The energy of the kidneys is under the water sign. When the desires are stirred, it runs downward, is directed outward, and creates children. If, in the moment of release, it is not allowed to flow outward, but is led back by energy the energy of thought so that it penetrates the crucible of the Creative, and refreshes heart and body and nourishes them, that also is the backward-flowing method. Therefore it is said, The Way of the Elixir of Life depends entirely on the backward-flowing method.”
It is essential to redirect the sexual energy upwards and inwards, ensuring that the “cup of Hermes” is never spilled. This reflux technique, also known as return, generates a rotational flow of light that enables the convergence of celestial and terrestrial energies, resulting in the formation of a Golden Flower within the body.
When seminal energy flows outward, it leads to a decrease in spiritual awareness. The individual who triggers the ascent of Kundalini to the head is responsible for awakening the crown chakra, known as the seventh seal of the apocalypse. The Kundalini descends solely when the initiate permits themselves to fall. The initiate falls when they ejaculate the semen.
“The couple must withdraw from the sexual act before reaching the spasm, in order to avoid the spilling of the seminal liquid. Restrained desire will transmute the seminal liquid into creative energy. The sexual energy ascends up to the cerebrum. This is how the cerebrum is seminized; this is how the semen becomes cerebrized. The Maithuna (Sex Magic) is the exercise that permits us to awaken and develop the Kundalini, the igneous serpent of our magical powers. When the Kundalini awakens, it ascends along the medullar canal of the spinal column” – Samael Aun Weor
