Via Aion- ‘In Absu’- Deep
Pacific Ocean- off Alaska – 5/30/01
This Book is Opened
With the Seed of the Sun
and the Kalas of the Moon
Conjoined in Bliss.
The Image is that of the
Yoni Yantra (Inverse Triangle with Centerpoint)
The points are:
Knowledge
Action
*
Will
The center Bindu-point is Love Eternal, uttered from the Moment of Creation as:
OM.
This is the Key that opens every Door and the Feather found upon every shore.
1.
Upon the Endless Sea with
no ending and no limit
floats the preceived Atman
of Consciousness
And the Goddess takes this
gently up onto her palm, embraces it to her breast
And it becomes her Lord
& Chela
And so she begins the teaching,
the mystery of Shakti-Babalon,
a Pearl split in two and
hidden as halves in the mists of East and West.
Her Palm closes & opens
and Lo! The Pearl is conjoined
and the mystery is revealed
and upon the endless ocean
the Mother of All Waters
begins her Tantra:
“Know that my worship is
of Flesh
All else is abstract, obtuse
and as dust.
Flesh of Flesh is sacred
to me
My Yoni
And Stars:
The points of Connection
& the Wheels of Configuration of release”
2.
A lotus rises from the Primal
Ocean & Blooms in a glory of sunrise colors.
Upon it enthroned is the
Faceless Goddess who begins to speak:
“Who does not particularize
my rapturous mystery worships me thus as Veiled Isis and creatrix of light.
Joyful and worthy, this
Image of Goddess serves to instruct, inspire & guide
But of Magick, it speaks
not.”
A Mirror in female form appears,
it is of itself the Great Goddess
and reflections of All Things
spiral within it as she speaks:
“Sex in all its infinite
forms is Shakti as restless and endless as the Ocean about you
As the tidally-sparked blood
within your Flesh
Ever flowing, ever seeming
to encompass All Things
Ever filling and settling
into All Spaces
Sex is my Mantra, my Spell,
My Siren Cry
And it is I who always answer
this cry,
it is the glory of my Flesh
that suffuses the Mystery
And the release of Orgasm
that calms the turbulent Ocean that is also I.
You see me as a Mirror Image
of All, so as to mate with me
And so become whole.
Mystery of Anima & Animus
Flesh & Spirit
Nu & Hadit
And the restless Shakti
ripples
Called Heru
Pan & Babalon reveal
this age-old Mystery
As do Shiva & Shakti
Yin & Yang
And every archetypal dyad
eternally mating
Melding
Into One
Great Ocean of Bliss
Becoming
Nun….
*
This is the Teaching of
All Schools, All Mysteries, All Faiths;
though Isis has been veiled
and Sophia’s Flame hidden and the wonders of Fatima buried in the sands.
The Aeon-old drive of Sex
Enthrones & goads the
species
And so I offer the Key to
your liberation!
Self reflected Self
Union & United:
The barrier is gone!”
3.
The Mirror-image flows into
drops of watery liquid falling & swirling into a brilliant Chalice…
“ Now the Hidden Teaching,
long divided, for what is spoken in your Cells you know.
The Mystic worships me as
All and dissolves into Prima Materia and is content-
For I am Tao & embrace
All as the endless Ocean.
Ah! But Magickians must
worship my Mystery in/with Flesh, in Human Image
In the sacred rites of Tongue
& Hand & Eye & Phallus & Yoni
In Juices and Pleasures
with a mind focused on OM.
Flesh is here the Key, Flesh
upon Flesh in Joy Unutterable
Such Union of Shiva &
Shakti
Calms the Ocean of Samsara
And so reveals the depths
wherein reside the Mystery of Mysteries you seek
For every particle of Self,
every thought & dream, idea, image and ghostly desire
Must be poured into my Chalice,
my Grail, my Cauldron
Until Naught but ashes of
ashes remain- soon these too are gone-
In this way One may GO.
So the Mysteries of Shakti-Babalon
have been elucidated
Here and elsewhere- for
nothing is truly New
But- this is only half the
Pearl.
A Key was lost from the
West
When the Mystery was split
And what was missing to
many is now revealed:”
4.
The Image changes to that
of a beautiful woman who is all women who have ever been – she walks forward,
shifting & changing, a whirlwind of changing faces, energy & color-
she is Anima…
“ For All Women are Shakti-Babalon
as All men are PanShiva,
yet restlessly seeking me
in many women merely begins the Great Work,
over & over,
while never bringing it
to fruition!
Herein is the true mystery,
the second half of the Pearl:
The fiery ignition of Sex
is only the beginning, the Prologue & Invocation of my Being-
The True Ritual unto me
is one of years & years- Flesh Transmuting Flesh
Mind Transmuting Mind
Spirit Transmuting Spirit
Turning Dross into Gold:
Mine Alchemy.
In one night of sexual bliss
is the Work completed? Think you so?
Foolishness!
It demands a lifetime of
lifetimes measured in devotion & dedication
For my Throne is the Mountain
top, I am a Goddess of Yoga (Union)
I must be sought after through
trials & ordeals
I must be wooed
I must be honored, treasured,
worshipped: Adored!
And I demand ALL as Pan
is ALL
For offering nothing short
of ALL will win you the Wish Fulfilling Gem.
So- the Teaching lost from
the West is one of Patience, of Uniting over Years.
A Shakti/Shakta is not forged
from a brief flame of lust imposed upon any person one would pleasure with
Shakti is Self in Flesh,
the Key to all your Works
Mate & Materia Magicka
for your Magnum Opus
As such I am the Alchemical
Furnace of Time, the Alembic cherished for a lifetime
And beyond.”
5.
Now comes the image of Heiros
Gamos, the Sacred Marriage: Yin united with Yang, male & Female conjoined
in a brilliant vision of Yab Yum mating, they meld and become one bright
image…
“ To come unto Shakti-Babalon,
one must give All,
Not just a bit of seed and
a few words of power!
You of the West know little
of True giving, of letting GO and surrendering Self!
I demand ALL of your Mind,
Spirit & Flesh in my pyre!
All of your Time
Actions & Desires
All of your Material &
Esoteric Wealth
All of your Thoughts, Prayers
& Rites
Until you are wholly mine
in EVERY respect
And so
I am wholly yours!”
6.
There is an image
of ending – open Ocean under an Open Starry Sky
“ In your blood are the tireless
legends
Beginning is my Endless
Space & Waters
And so in The End.
Devote yourself to me
With Knowledge, Will &
Action
United in the Total Love
which is my Essence
Devote yourself to ONE
For as PAN is ALL, Shakti
is always ONE
For I am NONE indeed.
SHE who is Shakti incarnate
will find you who are unworthy
When you show a glimmering
of worthiness.
Woo her, honor her, worship
her
Care for her, adore her
Deck her in jewels, fine
garments & regale her with endless presents & praises-
For she is YOUR Shakti
YOUR grail
YOUR Babalon
The Key to YOUR transformation!
She is the Alchemical Furnace
of your Work
and the Key to uncovering
All Mysteries!
This is REAL, Flesh, no
abstract symbol or ideal!
She is YOUR Goddess and
You are Her God
(O Man! Woman has this Book
writ in monthly blood and
the sighs of her rejection-
she needs not words to unveil the Truth- she IS the Truth)
You shall transmute each
other through Sex & Union
Rituals & Sorrows
Fighting & Loving
Play & Work
And in this Dance you will
BECOME Lila- the PLAY of the Cosmos
Prakriti- the Energy Storm
of Creation
Prana- the Winds of Life
& Power behind All.
You will become the Primordial
SHIVA & SHAKTI and so attain enlightenment!
7.
There is a last image as
all fades….the divine Yoni Yantra descending triangle…. becoming the Ocean…
“All Flesh is my Flesh and
all Magick is my Flesh
All Goddesses are Women
and All Women is A Woman.
If Shakti-Babalon is not
Enthroned in your Bed
Your Home
Your Work
Your Life
Your Thoughts, Dreams &
Death
Then she is NOT
And you are merely playing
with Shadows of yourself
Cast upon MY Ocean of Bliss
With a touch of my hand
They are gone
And you awake
To my Laughter!”

About the Elixir of Union:
OM
SHORT COMMENT:
For many years I and other
magickians have debated the worth of monogamy, polygamy, polyandry etc.
etc. and the variations of core relationships as magickal methods of attainment
and new aeonic ways of life. Thelemites, being an ornery bunch as a whole,
tend to argue for more open relationships. Yet there are evolutionary patterns
that have programmed Homo Sapiens into what recent social scientists calls
‘serial monogamy’ or ‘open monogamy.’ Why? It seems that on a functional
level (and emotional in terms of hormones, patterns etc.) children are
the key. As specialized animals with lengthy gestation periods, some sort
of at least short-term monogamy seems to be somewhat necessary to insure
the survival of the off-spring, or so the scientists tell us.
This interests me
less than the question of the Magickal functions of the dyad- Shiva/Shakti,
Yin/Yang etc. 2=0 as it were. It seemed to me that there was a SPIRITUAL
and MAGICKAL reflex to this social ‘serial monogamy’ – or was there? Isn’t
the creation of the ‘magickal child’ of alchemy important? If one follows
Tantra (and I do) or believes that Sexual Alchemy is key to Magick (and
most of you do, I would guess) then this question goes right to the heart
of what a magickal relationship means as a mode of attaining liberation
& enlightenment. I have puzzled over this for years I finally threw
the question out to the Goddess and forgot about it.
I recently took a
cruise to Alaska up the inland passage (never mind the particulars and,
yes, you should be jealous). After a particularly charged ritual with my
wife & Shakti, out in the open ocean of the Arctic, out of sight of
land, I lapsed into a trance and received the book you have just read.
It seems to answer the question, at least for me. I hope you find it of
interest.
Clearly this is mostly directed
at male (hetero) magickians- Not implying any slight to gay magick, I might
add. The Goddess states that women …’has this Book writ in monthly blood
and the sighs of her rejection- she needs not words to unveil the
Truth- she IS the Truth’
So, guys, this one is for
you. Women don’t need to be told this stuff- they KNOW it. They hold the
Grail. Since most magickal women will gladly admit that most men are clueless,
I’ll leave it there.
Comments, as always, welcome
Om Hrim Shakti-Babalon Namah Svaha!
