Ephesus, Ephesos, Church of

Greek Ἐφέσίνης ephesinos "of Ephesus" from Ἔφεσος perhaps from ephoros "overseer."

One of the seven churches mentioned in the Christian book of Revelation. Although there is evidence that ancient cities held this name, the Biblical reference is related not to the mistranslated "Asia," but to the Hebrew word עשיה "Assiah," which in Kabbalah relates to our body. Ephesus is one of the seven "churches" (Greek ἐκκλησία ekklēsia, "place of assembly"), energetic gathering places, called chakras in Sanskrit. Ephesus corresponds to the chakra Muladhara.

"The Kundalini is the primordial energy enclosed within the church of Ephesus. This church of the Apocalypse (Revelation) is a magnetic center located two fingers above the anus and two fingers below the genitals (centered between the anus and the genitals). The Kundalini is the igneous serpent of our magical powers. This sacred serpent, which is coiled up three and a half times is dormant within the church of Ephesus. The Kundalini is the Divine Mother. The Kundalini is the Pentecostal Fire. The sanctuary of the Divine Mother is located in the heart." - Samael Aun Weor, The Yellow Book

"...patience, suffering, and laboring [in sexual magic] are necessary in order to awaken the Kundalini and to open the Church of Ephesus, which is related to the sexual organs." - Samael Aun Weor, The Major Mysteries
