Adultérius Terribilis
Although not
directly related to what I will address in this article, it is scientifically
proven that:
a) Human
beings, both male and female, are inherently bisexual and polygamous
b) Nature
encourages promiscuity
c) Women
with children from different fathers are healthier
d) The
alpha status is coveted and respected. It is connoted with safety and
propagation and implies the existence of a tribe (the social environment).
All of the above
encourages a constant search for power. Unquestionable power.
Having cleared
this, I will put the focus on the issue of "adultery" that has
nothing to do, in esoteric and mystical terms, with fooling around (hence this
introduction).
Adultery
It is
associated with the act of infidelity in a marriage.
Much of the
neurosis related to betrayal is culturally inherited. Much of the negative
connotation is associated with arguably wrong and literal interpretation of
sacred texts.
In the
Bible, and other similar literature, nothing is what it seems.
All of the text
is an allegory and interpreted correctly by few. Besides Initiates or Adepts
(something that many priests unfortunately are not), there are few who truly
understand them. As I've discussed extensively in other articles , but it is
important to contextualize this, when a sacred text we read the words
"man" or "male", they should be read as "Will" or
"Conscious". And "Woman" or "Female", should read
as the "Unconscious Mind". And it is an interactive process that
involves resources (pain, tribulations).
As
previously postulated, when the Will (Male)
inseminates the Unconscious (Female),
it generates such an unequivocally result (conception
/ pregnancy), that is manifested in reality (Son / Child).
When the manifestation
is the fruit of a non-influenced Will , the result is considered to be “firstborn”/”first
creation”.
For
example, inventing the computer code is a “first creation”. Then the use of the
code to invent other things is the famous "Be fruitful and increase in number" that the Bible encourages. It refers to ideas, and is not creating an
incentive for over-population.
The
metaphor of the "slaughter the firstborn" describes essentially the
end of an era / culture that was initiated by a determined defined Will that
can be traced back genealogically (being that this genesis is in itself another
metaphor that explains the mechanisms of the manifestation of Will, that I will
not be particularly addressing in this
text).
All these
above used terms are intended to describe the micro-cosmos of a human on his
way of becoming divine (this means "creator" (creator of reality with
the use of mental technology, aka, Magick)).
When
addressing this Trinity (Will, Mind, Manifestation), in the case of the New
Testament (Father + Son + Holy Spirit), we have in fact the same analogy but in
a more refined way: Will, Manifestation, Manifestation Process (Unconscious
Mind). It all refers to the temple (human body) and the process of evolution
(Salvation), that I will probably discuss later, also in another article, (the
reason I postpone some topics to future articles is not to lose the thread while
the articles are being posted).So what is Adultery anyway?
Without any further ado:
Allowing a
Will ("Male") other than our own and external to us to permeate, or rather, penetrate
our Unconscious Mind ("Female").
If the
above condition is verified, there has been adultery in "magick" terms.
It has nothing to do with sex, having an affair or playing the field (let me dare to use vulgarity).
It, ("adultery"),
is also negatively connoted in Magick, because one of the objectives of
evolution is precisely the free expression of our authentic being, which is impossible
when we accept external suggestions that go against our will.
This is something
that happens every day, every time we see a magazine cover with the beauty of
the century or the super-car of the year and "accept" that we are
insufficient, or when what we believe to be our social status requires a
pejorative comparison to what we think are the lower or higher classes. The
process is at its pinnacle in any hierarchical context, especially if
fundamentalist (cooperative enterprise, clubs, religious, military, etc.). "Adultery"
is being committed and as a result, we are constantly being stoned and
suffering.
Why stoning?
Given that
as soon as something "enters" the Unconscious Mind (you can read
about this process in previous articles) manifestation is an inevitable and
irrevocable result, so
"stoning" is also inevitable. "Adultery" is therefore something
to avoid because it implies "condemnation."
Incidentally,
when you read in the same sacred texts: "what God has joined together in
heaven, let no one separate”, this is precisely stressing that whatever the Will implants on the Unconscious Mind, will unequivocally be expressed
and there is nothing you can do to prevent it (heaven refers to the realm of
Mind, or the head (brain)).
So what about covered women?
However,
the metaphor is similar. In order to encourage "modesty", the
feminine (Unconscious) is encouraged
to cover up (hide from the layman the secret of the mechanism thereby failing
to serve less laudable purposes and ambitious) except for the eyes, hands and
feet.
And
precisely because the effects of the Unconscious Mind are always observed in
reality (eyes because they see / know all, hands because they change things and
feet because they allow to move freely in space and time) the organs/members
that are not covered are no more than the visible manifestation and therefore
impossible to hide.
Considering
that the energy that is used in the process of manifestation - the creative
energy - is an equivalent of sexual energy (sex is the perfect metaphor of creation), it is said that to "cover the
Unconscious" is intended to encourage modesty in the use of this energy. It
does not refer to modesty of the appetite but rather modesty in the sense of creating
difficulty regarding the access of knowledge about its (unconscious mind)
mechanics and technology.
This text
of mine is not intended to be dogmatic or to undo literal interpretations or
alternative texts.
But it is
debatable for example, that if the
objective of covering the female body is designed to encourage sexual modesty,
it makes little sense to expose the feet, as they are one of the most sensual parts
of a woman's body.
The area of
the male brain that recognizes the standard for "foot" is almost the
same place as the area that arouses sexual desire, and is often confused (foot
fetishism is extremely common). There are a lot of women who do recognize this unconsciously, resulting
in the very common “thing for shoes”.
Why not cover the men?
What about the story of the woman who loses a man and has to marry the brother, till having gone through seven brothers, while not being adultery?
Will has,
roughly, in mystical terms, seven main levels, from the coarser animalistic to
the divine spirit.
In
simplistic terms, the basics are the most powerful in trying to tame our
essence but less efficient in manifestation, and the higher are the most
powerful with manifestation of the expression of our essence. We tend naturally
to find balance, as to climb to the maximum level requires much effort.
The forces balance
in the physical part of this "reality" as is generally perceived, in
the Heart (Love). The levels, from lowest to uppermost are, respectively:
1 - Animal
(eating, sleeping)
2 - Sexual (reproduction,
desire)
3 -
Territorial (ambition, ownership)
4 - Loving
(tenderness, affection, ties, family, social)
5 - Communicative
(culture, beauty, art)
6 - Intellectual
(creation, knowledge)
7 - Divine
(spirituality, precognition, wisdom)
Therefore,
as one Will "dies" (once satisfied it loses priority), the Woman (Unconscious Mind) is subject to the
following level of Will (husband's brother, the male symbolized the Will
above), until the seventh ("last") level. It is a metaphor of the
journey of human evolution which also hides “teachings”.
The Adulteress from the Gospel
This
article would not be at all complete if it did not mention the episode in which
Jesus avoids the death of an adulteress uttering that " He that is without
sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." It is apparently a
lesson in forgiveness but unfortunately this episode is full of incongruities
which, I confess, made me hesitate to mention it.
In this
episode, to "forgive", would not have much effect as the Unconscious,
once manifestation as started, it does not make any judgment (there is nothing
to "forgive") and goes all the way to the end. To say "go and sin no more"
recognizes it as sin (which is convenient for men) but Jesus was not
judgmental.
For a
mystic, this chapter of the Bible is confusing and inconsistent. It’s not at
the stage of manifestation, in this case that of magical "adultery", that
you can fix anything and, therefore, the "stones" are inescapable (in the allegorical
sense, and while the belief that originated the movement of Will still exists).
To Sin means "to miss the target, the destiny,
to err in path" i.e., biblically, this is always correctable (to forgive
means to "correct the path") and never dictates eternal damnation. But once Will
has interfered with the Unconscious, no correction is possible for there is
nothing incorrect except maybe that which one willed to be manifested (which it will) - it is an
enforcement mechanism, not a choice. The "sin" (error) is always
committed by Will and from Will so must the correction (forgiveness) arise. The Unconscious is never wrong, but expresses the "errors" correctly. If "adultery"
(the Magick one) is committed, "condemnation" (manifestation of an external
will) is inevitable.
Accepting
external Will is often not a voluntary act and one needs a lot of training and
self-awareness to realize our true essence and to use the Will in the service
of our purest expression. Understand that it is a sin not in the sense of being
ugly thing but because it was the result of an error. And because the effects
are inevitable one is said to be "condemned" to them, because there
is no forgiveness (correction) possible at this stage (manifestation). Here I
would like to give a small bow to the "seven deadly sins" ...
Forgiveness
is essential to avoid that bickering which conditions our Will in a negative
sense. It delivers us from many mental traps (a conscious mind is Will). A woman
who commits adultery and believes that this is something bad will suffer, but
only because she believes it to be. It is from the belief that distress results.
Belief mixed in the Unconscious that will manifest anxiety scenarios. Forgiving
oneself eliminates this anxiety (and the negative external manifestation). But
in terms of the Unconscious, once "entrenched", there is no turning
back (there is no notion of time), at the most there are correctional
re-manifestations (new beliefs) and a processes of acceptance
of the manifested that do not result in so much anxiety.
