Chapter 4: Second Rite

You have made your petitions while lying down in the shape of the cross; now raise your legs perpendicularly until they are in a vertical position. Here, it is no longer necessary to keep your arms extended and forming the horizontal line of the cross. So, move them so that with your hands you help to sustain your legs by holding them at the back of your knees, making sure that your legs are as vertical as possible without raising your buttocks from the floor, or more clearly stated, your waist must be very well placed on the floor, resting on the floor.

This is what in the East is called the Viparitakarani Mudra.⁠1 In this position, all the blood flows towards the head. It is precipitated towards the cranium so that determined areas of the brain can be set to work, likewise in order to fortify the senses, to fortify our eyesight, since it is necessary to have good eyesight, a good sense of smell, touch, hearing, and taste, etc.

We must remain in this posture for some time, while intensifying our petition to our Divine Mother Kundalini, begging her, beseeching her to help us to attain, with the help of her divine spouse, the benefit, the healing, the faculty, the disintegration of any defect, etc., that we need.

Well, after some time with this posture, after having supplicated to the Divine Mother to bring you the Third Logos and after having totally identified yourself as being one with him so that he may heal you or may awaken a particular faculty, etc., you finish the exercise.

Understand that before anything else, we must go to the practical aspect, since these exercises are also effective for the awakening of our chakras, and as I have already stated, through them the Gnostic arhat can enter the path of the awakening of consciousness. You already know the dance of the dervishes, the Viparitakarani Mudra, and the posture of the cross; remember that with our imagination we must open the sick organ by imperatively commanding it:

Open Sesame!

Open Sesame!

Open Sesame!

Comprehend that in each rite-exercise we must beseech our Divine Mother Kundalini so that she can plead to the Holy Spirit in her sacred language. Thus he can assist us and heal us of this or that sickness, according with the necessities we each have, etc. Some will ask for healing, others for the awakening of this or that power, others for the annihilation of this or that defect, etc.

Again, these rites are not merely physical aerobics, but six methods of prayer. It is a distinct system of healing and rejuvenation through prayer.

The lamas practice these six rites on a prayer mat; it can be a mat or a carpet or whatever we want to call it. There are so many words and each country has many names in order to name objects or things, and it is clear that one is forced to use different terms so that people may understand.

Naturally, with much patience, slowly, we have to become accustomed to these exercises. The day will arrive when we will perform them easily. These are not meant to be done all at once, no! We must condition our organism slowly, little by little, in order to perform these exercises better until they are performed correctly. As far as conditioning the body is concerned, some may take days, others weeks, other months, others years.

These rite-exercises are not for citizens of a particular country either. They are for all the Gnostic citizens of the world. I do not understand why people are bottled up within that which is called “patriotism.” They do not understand that “my country” and “your country” are the same country. People have divided the Earth into parcels and more parcels and have placed a flag on each parcel, and chiseled a few statues for their heroes; they have filled the frontiers with savage hordes who are armed to the teeth, etc. Regrettably, this is what they call “my country.” It is very sad that the Earth is divided into many parcels. The day on which the Earth will have to change will arrive. Unfortunately, such a change on this planet is very difficult. Thus, only after the great cataclysm will this planet be converted into one great country... Nevertheless, now let us limit ourselves to the exercises that I am teaching you.
