Chapter:
The Universal Fire
1. Maha-Kundalini1 is Fohat.21. Sanskrit महाकुण्डलिनी, “great fire,” the Divine Mother. 2. Cosmic fire. See Fohat.
2. Maha-Kundalini is the universal fire of life.
3. The universal fire has seven degrees of power.
4. Oh Devi Kundalini! You are the fire of the seven Laya centers3 of the universe. 3. A cosmic point where matter disappears from one dimension and passes to exist in another dimension.
5. The seven Laya centers of the universe are the seven degrees of power of the fire.
6. There are seven churches in the Chaos4 where the seven planetary Logoi5 officiate.4. Greek χάος khaos, the primitive state of the universe, from which occurs creation (Genesis). 5. Greek, “words,” manifested deities.
7. These seven churches are also within the spinal medulla of the human being.
8. The seven planetary Logoi officiated in their seven temples in the dawn of life.
9. The seven saints practiced the rituals of Maha-Kundalini within the sacred precinct of their temples in the dawn of the mahamanvantara.66. Sanskrit, “great cosmic time of activity.”
10. The material universe did not exist.
11. The universe solely existed within the mind of the gods.
12. Nonetheless, for the gods, the universe was ideal and objective, simultaneously.
13. The universe was; yet, it did not exist.
14. The universe “is;” yet, it does not exist within the bosom of the Absolute.
15. To be is better than to exist.
16. The seven saints fecundated the chaotic matter so that universal life could emerge.
17. Devi Kundalini has seven degrees of power.
18. There are seven serpents: two groups of three, plus the sublime coronation of the seventh tongue of fire that unites us with the One, with the Law, with the Father.
19. These seven degrees of power of the fire differentiated the chaotic matter in seven states of matter upon which the perceptions of our seven senses are based.
20. The seven igneous serpents of each of the planetary Logoi fecundated the chaotic matter so that life could emerge.
21. Before the dawn of the aurora of the mahamanvantara, Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas7 were in a perfect, Nirvanic equilibrium.7. The three gunas that symbolize the fundamental principles of existence. Read Gunas.
22. Fire put the cosmic scale in motion.
23. Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas became unbalanced; thus, this is how the mahamanvantara dawned.
24. In order to gain the right to enter into the Absolute, the yogi/yogini must liberate the Self from Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas.
25. At the end of the mahamanvantara, Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas will again be in perfect equilibrium; thus, the universe will sleep again within the profound bosom of the Absolute, within the supreme Parabrahman,8 the Nameless.8. Sanskrit, “beyond the creator god.”
26. The universe will sleep for seven eternities, until Maha-Kundalini awakens it again to activity.
27. The Chaos is the raw matter of the Great Work.
28. The Chaos is the Mulaprakriti,9 the primordial matter.9. (Sanskrit मूलप्रकृति) Literally, the “root or origin of nature; primary cause; original root or germ out of which matter or all apparent forms are evolved.” The abstract feminine principle. Undifferentiated substance.
29. Mulaprakriti is Christonic semen,10 from which the universe emerged.10. Latin, “seed,” the sexual power, whether in males or females. Read What is Semen?
30. We have Mulaprakriti in our sexual organs, and thence it springs up life.
31. Upon the altars of the temples of the seven planetary Logoi we see seven sacred vessels filled with Christonic semen.
32. That is the sacred symbol of Mulaprakriti.
33. Those are the primordial waters of life.
34. The water is the habitat of fire.
35. The one who wastes the water also wastes the fire and remains in darkness.
36. The seven saints fecundated the Christonic semen of the universe so that life could sprout.
37. The yogi/yogini has to fecundate one’s primordial waters, one’s Christonic semen, with the grandiose power of Devi Kundalini.
38. Kundalini is the spouse of Shiva,11 the Innermost, the Purusha.12 11. The Hindu symbol of the third aspect of the trinity / trimurti (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva). The Third Logos. The Holy Spirit. The Sexual Force. The Sephirah Binah. 12. Sanskrit पुरुष “supreme self or being.”
39. Kundalini is the spirit of electricity.
40. Electricity is the sexual power of Maha-Kundalini.
41. Kundalini is coiled within the chakra Muladhara.13 13. An energetic center at the base of the spine.
42. Kundalini is the serpent whose tail is coiled three and a half times.
43. When Kundalini awakens, it hisses as the serpents hisses.
44. Prana,14 buddhi,15 indriyas,16 ahamkara,17 mind, the seven elements of nature, nerves, are in their totality products of Kundalini.14. Life force. 15. Intellect. 16. Senses. 17. The feeling of individuality.
45. Kundalini is intimately related with the prana that circulates throughout the 72,000 nadis,18 astral conduits that nourish the chakras.18. Sanskrit नदी, river, conduit, artery. Subtle channels for energy. In Asian mysticism, large numbers like “72,000” are not meant to be taken literally. “The term Nadi comes from the root Nad which means motion. The body is filled with an uncountable number of Nadis. If they were revealed to the eye, the body would present the appearance of a highly-complicated chart of ocean currents. Superficially the water seems one and the same. But examination shows that it is moving with varying degrees of force in all directions.” —Swami Sivananda
46. The chakras are connected with the mind.
47. Yogi and yogini have to christify their mind.
48. Prana is life, and it circulates throughout all of our organs.
49. Prana circulates throughout all of our nadis and vital canals.
50. All of the 72,000 nadis of our organism have their fundamental base in the nadi kanda.19 19. “This is situated between the anus and the root of the reproductory organ. It is like the shape of an egg and is covered with membranes. This is just above the Muladhara Chakra. All the Nadis of the body spring from this Kanda. It is in the junction where Sushumna is connected with Muladhara Chakra. The four petals of the Muladhara Chakra are on the sides of this Kanda and the junction is called Granthi-Sthana, where the influence of Maya is very strong. In some Upanishads you will find that Kanda is 9 digits above the genitals. Kanda is a centre of the astral body from where Yoga Nadis, subtle channels, spring and carry the Sukshma Prana (vital energy) to the different parts of the body.” - Swami Sivananda, Kundalini Yoga
51. The nadi kanda is situated between the sexual organs and the anus.
52. The kanda collects all of the sexual energy that circulates throughout the 72,000 canals of our organism.
53. The sexual energy is prana, life.
54. The Angel Aroch (angel of power) taught us the pranava Kandil, Bandil, R for the awakening of Devi Kundalini.
55. These mantras act on the kanda, reinforcing the vibration of prana.
56. Thus, the spouse of Shiva, who is coiled in the chakra Muladhara, is awakened when prana is reinforced.
57. The correctly chanted pronunciation of this pranava is as follows:
58. KAN dil... BAN dil... Rrrrrrrrrrr...
59. KAN is pronounced aloud. DIL is pronounced with a low voice.
60. BAN is pronounced aloud. DIL is pronounced with a low voice.
61. The letter R has to be rolled and acutely pronounced, imitating the sound produced by the rattles of the rattlesnake.
62. This is how the prana is reinforced, so that from the kanda—where the Sushumna nadi and the chakra Muladhara are joined—Devi Kundalini awakens.
63. The kanda is precisely situated in the same point where the nadi Sushumna and the chakra Muladhara join.
64. This is why the pranava of the Angel Aroch acts so intensely on the Kundalini.
65. The kanda nourishes itself with the sexual organs.
66. The kanda has its physiological correspondence in the “cauda equina” of the spinal medulla.
67. The spinal medulla begins in the spinal bulbar region (this refers to the medulla oblongata, which looks like a swelling, or bulb, at the top of the spinal cord), and ends in the cauda equina (because of their appearance, the obliquely coursing fine nerve roots or nerve fibers are named the cauda equina, a Latin term for “horse’s tail”), that form the inferior extreme of the spinal medulla.
68. Prana is sexual.
69. Sexual energy is solar.
70. Solar energy is Christic.
71. Prana is Christic.
72. The Cosmic Christ is the Solar Logos.
73. Solar energy comes from the Cosmic Christ.
74. Christic prana makes the spike of wheat grow; thus, the Christic substance—ready to be devoured—remains enclosed within the grain.
75. Water from the mountain glaciers penetrates within the stump to ripen the grape, within which the whole life, the whole prana from the Sun-Christ, remains enclosed.
76. This is why the bread and the wine symbolize the flesh and blood of the martyr of Calvary.
77. All vegetables evolve with the potent force of the Solar Logos.
78. All food disarranges itself into billions of solar corpuscular energies within our organic laboratory.
79. People of science call these solar corpuscular energies “vitamins.”
80. The best of the radiant force of the Sun remains enclosed within our sexual glands.
81. The very aroma of the Sun, the most powerful solar atoms, form that semi-solid, semi-liquid substance that is called Christonic semen or Mulaprakriti.
82. Mulaprakriti is the Cosmic Christ in substance.
83. Therefore, the entire power of Devi Kundalini is within our Christonic semen.
84. Whosoever wants to awaken Devi Kundalini has to be absolutely chaste.
85. Whosoever wants to awaken Devi Kundalini has to know how to wisely control the sexual forces.
86. The wise control of the sexual energies is called Sexual Magic.
87. No yogi/yogini can totally Christify the Self without Sexual Magic.
88. The kanda is situated within the chakra Muladhara.
89. The chakra Muladhara has four resplendent petals.
90. The kanda has the shape of an egg.
91. The kanda nourishes itself with the Cosmic Christ.
92. When the Kundalini awakens, it rises throughout the spinal medulla.
93. The Brahmanadi or “canalis centralis” within which the Kundalini ascends is throughout the length of the spinal medulla.
94. Our planet Earth also has a spinal column.
95. The spinal column of our planet Earth is Mount Meru, situated in the Himalayas.
96. The chakra Muladhara is the abode of Devi Kundalini.
97. The chakra Muladhara is situated at the very root of our sexual organs.
98. Therefore, the chakra Muladhara is totally sexual and can be opened only with Sexual Magic.
99. Sexual Magic has always been taught in secrecy within the secret schools of Oriental yoga.
100. In our next chapters, we will teach to our disciples the complete Sexual Magic of India and Tibet, just as it has always been taught in the secret schools.
101. Now, it is necessary for our disciples to chant daily the pranava of the Angel Aroch.
102. It is urgent to vocalize daily these mantras for one hour.
103. This is how we will reinforce the prana, by intensely acting on the kanda, to awaken the spouse of Shiva, Devi Kundalini.
104. Maha-Kundalini underlies all organic and inorganic matter and is the cause of light, heat, electricity, and life.
105. In the this course of Kundalini Yoga, we will teach our disciples all of the secret science of Maha-Kundalini so that they can awaken all of their hidden powers and convert themselves into Logoi, into Dhyan-Choans, into Buddhas of Christic nature.
106. The pranava Kandil Bandil R must be sung by the male-female couple during Maithuna.
107. At the dawn of the mahamanvantara, the man was on the right and the woman on the left.
108. While seated, male and female chanted the sacred pranava of Maha-Kundalini.
109. At the dawn of the mahamanvantara, the seven planetary Logoi officiated the rituals of Maha-Kundalini in their temples.
110. I, Samael Aun Weor, was a witness of the dawn of the mahamanvantara.
111. I still remember when I was visiting the sacred temples of the Chaos.
112. In every temple there was an ineffable lady next to every Logos.
113. Indeed, the separated sexes did not exist, but the ineffable gods knew how to polarize themselves in accordance with the necessities of the moment.
114. The Elohim or Prajapatis are hermaphrodites.
115. A Prajapati or Elohim can draw forth their masculine or feminine polarity; they know how to polarize themselves.
116. This is how the seven planetary Logoi could draw forth their masculine aspect.
117. This is how their Isis could draw forth their feminine aspect.
118. Now our disciples will understand how inside each one of the temples of the Chaos the gods worked as couples, chanting the rhythms of fire.
119. Groups of children (Prajapatis or Elohim) formed choirs with these ineffable couples.
120. The sacred fire emerges from the brain of the Father and from the bosom of the Mother.
121. This coenobium of the sacred fire fecundated Mulaprakriti so that life could emerge.
122. The raw matter of the Great Work is the Christonic semen.
123. The raw matter of the Great Work is the mazar of the gods, the sea of milk, the fountain of milk and of the coagulations, the water of Amrita.
124. That is the sacred cow from where life emerges.
125. These are the primordial waters that are deposited within our sexual glands.
126. The Verb of the gods fecundated the chaotic matter so that life could emerge.
127. The throat is a uterus where the Word is gestated.
128. The throat is the sexual organ of the gods.
129. The Sexual Magic of the Word fecundated the chaotic matter so that life could emerge.
130. The creation of the universe was the outcome of the Sexual Magic of the Word.
131. The universe was elaborated with the Anu atom within the profound bosom of Parabrahman.
132. The Anu atom cannot be multiplied or divided in the pro-genital or primogenital state.
133. All the atoms of the universe are nothing but passing vestures of the primordial Anu atom.
134. This primordial Anu atom is Nirvanic.
135. The objective material universe is born from a Nirvanic condensation.
136. The entire universe is granulated Fohat.
137. The entire material universe is elaborated with the granulations of Fohat.
