The Causal Body

Through this chapter we are arriving at the causal world, at the marvelous world of conscious will, in the electronic region.

There below, in the molecular world, on the other shore across the evil river, there is a sad place not for martyrdoms but for sighs, with lamentations and loud moans, resounding through the air that forever whirls around through darkness.

There in that Limbo of the molecular world lives Virgil, the poet of Mantua, the master of Dante. There also live all of those pseudo-esoteric and pseudo-occult, naive, innocent souls who were not washed of their original sin, and who believed that they could Self-realize in depth without the need to work with the Maithuna in the ninth sphere. Those naive souls committed the mistake of not getting dressed with the three holy virtues (the three solar bodies: astral, mental, and causal).

The Second Birth

In our former chapter, we stated that the Being, the Innermost, the divine spirit of each living creature, has two souls: Buddhi and superior Manas.

The Being himself is Atman, the ineffable. If we commit the error of giving the Being the qualifications of superior “I,” alter ego, subliminal “I,” or divine ego, etc., we commit blasphemy, because that which is divine, the reality, can never fall into the heresy of separability.

Superior and inferior are two sections of the same thing. Superior “I” or inferior “I” are two sections of the same pluralized ego (Satan).

Peter, Judas, and John

It is written that there is a straight, narrow, and frightfully difficult path. However, to comprehend this better, we are going to divide the path into two sections, into two aspects, into two paths.

Peter, the master of Maithuna, Patar, dies crucified on an inverted cross, with his head towards the ground and his feet towards the heavens.

John, I.E.O.U.A.N., the Word itself, rests his head on the heart of the great Kabir Jesus, as if saying: love is nourished with love.

The Path of John

Since ancient times, the authentic and genuine esoteric work has always been symbolized by a chariot pulled by oxen transporting the Holy Ark. Therefore, to forget this basic symbol and to go astray from the path is frightening.

The chariot reminds us of the human being and his internal bodies. The oxen brings into our imagination the sacred cow with five legs, the sacred symbol of the Divine Mother. The sacred Ark encloses the mysteries of sex; the Ark itself is sex.

In other times, the humble psalmist always paved the way for the holy cup, the cup of Hermes, by dancing and jumping; and in that moment, he was nothing more than a king.

This also reminds us of the whirling dervishes of Mohammedan esotericism. The objective of all of these dances is to awaken the consciousness.
