have you ever experienced Unity?

[Plenum]

not unity100 ... unity consciousness.

[Plenum]

well then ... I guess I'll go first

this experience happened to me a few weeks ago ...

I was working on the Alchemical Marriage ...

which is combining the internal male energies (I am a human male) with a female mirror of those energies ...

thereby creating an internal balance, or Unity ...

- -

all of a sudden I felt my Awareness or Consciousness open up.

my Attention seemed to shift up through my head, out through the top, and climb higher and higher ...

I suddenly had a sense of the Original Creation ...

the point at which God decided to fracture 'his' consciousness into a billion billion pieces ...

these points of consciousness are all infinite, still God consciousness, but are individuated ...

and this God consciousness is present in every entity, in every density.

- -

God is present in this density, for we are all these pieces of God consciousness ...

STO beings, STS beings, all other beings ...

God consciousness is the spark inside each and every one.

we just don't realise it yet.

- -

this experience was absolutely palpable, and the closest to Unity I ever got. All is One, All is 'the same stuff'.

[godwide_void]

When you directly undergo the experience of merging with the Godhead or the dissipation of the Godhead, it does provide an excellent reference point to be able to better grasp that concept, huh? This 'alchemical marriage' method you used sounds very interesting, moreso that it led to this ineffable experience! Would you mind elaborating further on how you performed it?

To answer your OP, my most profound experience of unity/the Divine was that of beatific vision, or in other words, the unfiltered perception of the image of the One Infinite Creator, in which I arrived at a point of absolute nothingness in a very deep abyss, with a voice relaying to methat "we shall show you the 8th Density". The next moment an image began to form, what appeared to be a massive throne which didn't exist in this void... the void was apart of it. Every inch of it was embedded with galaxies, star systems, and as each moment passed it would expand, and more galaxies sprang forth within it. My awareness was such that I both was observing as well as simultaneously becoming this being, and despite all this activity I felt a sense of everlasting oneness while I was in its presence. The entire experience lasted for an hour in our world, but in that dimension time was a non-issue... After a while I could no longer process this and blacked out, with my awakening feeling like I'd awoken from a very, very, very long dream. It actually took me about 30 minutes to recall what had just happened, but as soon as I did the experience retained itself clearly and vividly in my mind.

That vision is what I hold in my own life as proof of the truth of the Law of One and what guides me to this day.

Edit: My method of having achieved this moment of complete penetration of the veil was through the spirit technology dimethyltryptamine following Syian Rue to sustain/extend the experience by preventing the DMT from being immediately broken down (or at least to allow it to remain active for longer than 5 minutes, as the DMT was smoked as opposed to orally ingested) while in a closed eyed meditative state.

[Plenum]

hey GV, I believe we have arrived at the same point via different means; namely the full (temporary) activation of the pineal gland. Ra calls this the 'gateway to intelligent infinity'.

my own understanding of the Alchemical Marriage is based heavily on the balancing exercises that Ra speaks of in the Law of One. Ie, seeing one quality, and conjuring its opposite in your mind; over and over, until one moves beyond the concept of polarity or dipoles; and into the spectrum of experience.

the ultimate balancing comes through working with one's sexual energies; after all, each male has all their cells (except the gametes) stamped with an xy gene (maleness) and inversely so for women. Being able to transcend or balance this particular quality is what I know of as the alchemical marriage.

That vision is what I hold in my own life as proof of the truth of the Law of One and what guides me to this day.

yes, this direct experience is worth reading 1000 books or attending Mass for a 1 000 000 years. Life can't go back to normal, and one cannot 'see' other human beings in the same way ever again. Life becomes magikal.

- -

I am pretty sure that mystics (and I don't claim to be one, only having this one profound experience) trigger this experience via endogenous DMT. How this happens biochemically, I don't have a clue, but it's in our bodies for a reason!!

[godwide_void]

All roads lead to the same source.

Ah, I see what you mean by the alchemical marriage, you're basically observing your thoughts and thinking the counter-point/polar opposite of that thought; it is a great mental exercise that can help a person better grasp unity, move beyond duality and be able to better discern what possibilities exist from your volition and choices. How were you able to balance out the male and female energies within you? I hear of this exercise but have not grasped how a male would be able to acknowledge and hone the female aspect in him, or even what would be considered the "female aspect" in the male.

And yes, life has indeed changed forever since then. There's no longer a need to grasp at semantics or the technical aspects of the Law of One, or seeking affirmation, clarification or answers from any source. All that prevails now is that sense of inner knowing, and I'm sure that for you as well none of this is a matter of mere 'faith' anymore. I truly see now that the Creator is within all things, and all things are within the Creator.

About endogenous DMT, I've heard too that its release during meditation is what facilitated these mystical states of being. This notion isn't surprising since it is theorized that this little molecule is the main benefactor in sustaining all states of consciousness, from life, dreams, and perhaps even the transition into death. I believe DMT's functioning extends far beyond that, but needless to say the Creator chose to make this little Holy Grail available to us for a very good reason.

[Turtle]

It is better than any conceptual version of a "heaven" that I've ever come up with. Even the fragmented memories I retain as a human, of the full experience of unity with all, make all other experiences seem so much cheaper and duller and fake. I am always blown away by it, when it happens.

[Sagittarius]

Yep I posted about it in the 11/11/11 thread in the harvest section. Basically the same as you guys but it was induced through LSD. I basically tranced out on my friends balcony saw reality as a fractal of eyes, I saw 100's if not 1000's of lives playing out all very quickly like instantaneously. When I came back it was like everything I looked at was just something trying to tell me something, in a very literal way, it was almost maddening to see how truly obvious everything all is and how blinded we are while under the veil.

Just by thinking about the experience my energy rises. I can't wait for my next major catalyst.

[Unbound]

I think I have truly done so only at one point, where I was just... pristine, clear in my consciousness. It had been after an intensive healing session, that was actually the energetic continuation of a healing that had been a week or so before, which had involved lots of agonized screaming. This time I screamed only once, and then cried my eyes out with my teacher, we were forgiving eachother for the pains we caused eachother in two Atlantean lifetimes as sibling, and after about half an hour everything just... settled, calmed, there was no thought, my heart was so wide, I was connected to everything, I was in the room, I could feel every particle, they were all an extension of me, everything was blissful, I had no fear, no concern, and everything was perfect.

[Ankh]

not unity100 ... unity consciousness.

Ah, unity100... Miss him dearly. =)

About unity consciousness - yes, many times. In many, but different ways. Last time, it was in meditation. Everything was crystal clear, and I thought - hey! That's easy. Now that I experienced it in meditation, I'll just take it with me into the manifestation. (You should experience that meditation! It was so crystal clear, and still made in a conscious state of mind of the experienced "reality" of this space/time. Difficult to describe, but it wasn't something that was experienced in an altered state of mind.) So I opened my eyes from this meditation, looked around - and... I am still amazed how something so simple to grasp, can be so difficult to manifest...

[AnthroHeart]

Yes, when I have taken a variation of ayahuasca called pharmahuasca, I experienced connectedness with what was around me.

Though I've not had the opening up to the Oneness of all experience that's the ultimate in bliss.

I agree with it being difficult to manifest. Today I was under the weather. Headache and achy. It's really hard to feel a part of the oneness when your eyes hurt as well.

[Patrick]

Nope never happened to me in this incarnation.

[drifting pages]

Yes in many ways and forms and at different degrees, i will fail to put it in words though.

I can tell you what it is not like, it is not painful, it is not violent, it is not abrasive, it is not frantic, it is not with a sense of dramatic difference, it is not of mind oriented thoughts like 1+1=2 or A and B are different.

It is not of fear, it is not of criticism. It is not of trauma. It is not dual. It is not This and That.

[godwide_void]

I would like to expand further upon my previous post...

Now some of you may think, upon reading my words, that my story sounds oddly familiar in that the experience of perceiving the divine supposedly occurred as the content of a drug-induced experience. Allow me to dispel any possible incredulity from your minds.

The Law of One Ra Material entered my life at a time when my spiritual seeking was not as ardent as it is now. To me, they were words which postulated views and information which resonated with me deeply, and yet, they remained only as conceptual formations, theories to me. I am one who does not believe unless I have been made to believe without a shadow of a doubt, hence why for a great portion of my life I was quite nihilistic, and believed in nothing, not even this 'god' character.

This experience, of being within the undiluted presence of the the absolute fountainhead of all existence, this happened to me in the days of my ignorance and lacked true understanding. I had no referiential scope either from which to attempt to articulate this experience. My body disintegrated, all semblance of who I 'was' became obliterated, and what gave way was a mass assembly of hundreds of star systems/galaxies, embedded as jewels in this god-wide throne face being, watching the edges of this seemingly infinite being continue to expand, overlapping with an unknown yet much darker and emptier space, filling it, never over flowing, only perpetually filling the invisible cup this oceanic being flowed in. And all this, because I decided to swallow some ground up natural seeds and smoked a molecule which apparently exists within me as well as dozens of species of plants and several animals. A neurotransmitter which is produced in the human body when one is born, sleeps/dreams, and dies allegedly. Then, I went under my bedsheets and closed my eyes.

And that was that. It was not through introducing a foreign substance, a random drug into my body, but it was through merely increasing the amount of a molecule already within me, that this experience was facilitated. All I did was ingest something as natural and native to us as melatonin or serotonin, and I was allowed the experience of perceiving God. The absolute irony of it all amuses me. Who knew that the grand akashic key was within all this time? And yet for thousands of years many have sought the holy grail in all the wrong places, and it was in us all along.

It is only now, nearly a year later, after having been sent my way daily many clues and answers, have I finally begun to truly understand what that experience really was. In my absolute denial of God did the subconscious desire fester in which I truly, deeply wished to know our Creator. Thus I was led to that goal. Each and every day does this temporary form melt away. The notion of "other people" or any experience external from myself as being actually separate from myself has essentially been destroyed. Through these various aspects of myself do I craft and give form to my everlasting thought.

There is only one of us here. We are finite, thus our vibrations are not at that of unity. Unity entails the assimilation and acceptance of all experiences and beings as being intricately intertwined. All awareness is a result of the Creator zooming in upon a specific area within Itself. Within these vibrational spheres of consciousness, progress is only made due to the various interactions between vibrations (regarded and defined as all contents of consciousness), synthesizing new vibrational frequencies and thus sustaining new experience.

The amount and possible combinations of vibrations are infinite. There is no end to what may come to be, to what may be born, to the many reactions which will spring forth. This divine alchemy is what constitutes all Creation. We are all nothing more than various vibrational nodes which are accessed and controlled by the infinite being within all of us. Some may assume that because we are endowed with Free Will, that this somehow bars the possibility of our being controlled by some omnipotent noetic being. No. This is not so. There is absolutely no separation between us and this being. Aware of all. Beyond and within everything. Eradicate any semblance of doubt and understand that you are as I am as we all are. We are that exact being, the supreme architects of each of our creative existential endeavors.

Recall the yogis and various teachers of this world, those illumined souls who came within close reach of truth. I have been playing this game for eons. "I" am only a messenger... I am the one who sends this message. I am not the one who types these words. I inhabit all. I invigorate and animate all. All which occurs, I am present in. I watch. I learn. I experience. I calculate and disperse. I acquiesce and yet remain. This world... what a very interesting experiment this was. I have accumulated much precious memory from all of this. But the story is not yet over. Oh no, far from it! The greatest plot twist to ever be, that regardless of what path all of you find yourself upon... you will eventually come to know yourself as what all regard as the almighty, as the Creator. This upcoming event which many of this world have chosen to term "Harvest" or "Ascension" is only another beginning. The amount of light able to be perceived that day is entirely dependent upon one's particular vibrational frequency. But make absolutely no mistake... it will be felt, by every last one of you.

Worry not of such trivial and illusory things as consequence or circumstance. It is all a play of consciousness, within the autonomous theatre of the grand mind.

Blessed be all.

[Patrick]

I believe I set it up this way in this incarnation. I probably wanted to know if I could awaken without a single shred of evidence. All I believe in is purely based on faith alone. The only evidence I have now that I am awake is the pressure I constantly feel on my forehead.

This is probably a gift from my Higher-Self to prevent me from falling back into pure science. Since sometimes without ever seeing any proof of what you believe in, you may start to think that it was all just in your head. Which it is of course.

And thus the Ancient One speaks again. This is a true blessing to us all.

I learn more every time I hear her.

Is it not the grandest reflection of the One 'BEING' to see the polarity played out as paradox and dilemma?

In the long struggle to identify our selves, as we encroach upon enlightenment of that truth, we begin to understand that our self is not what we have for so long supposed it to be. and we begin to deny it for the realization that we are not this temporary form, but we are divine.

And then, no sooner have we realized our divinity, are we immediately brought back to the realization of "I Am". And return to seeing our self as One.

The Infinite One is born of duality and paradox; Mystery that cannot be comprehended.

To understand we must become confused.

To know we must admit ignorance.

To be our self we must be another.

To become harmony we must deny unity.

And to become All we must become only One.

Thank You,
Your loyal Servant!

[godwide_void]

Duality, paradox, comprehension, understanding, confusion, ignorance, being, becoming, harmony; these are various vibrations which exist within this world, which are magnetically attracted to or repelled from a being dependent upon one's particular vibrational ensemble. The native vibration of the Creator is one in which the traces of absolutely all which is, was, and will be emerge from, fade into, and remain situated within. Its vibrational frequency is infinite, pure unity, and because of this the experience it has attracted for Itself is infinite unity. This accommodates us tremendously, and this processing allows greater insight into the notion that the individual's reality is a projection, reflection or construction of the mind. Seeing as how nobody incarnated in this world with absolute understanding, and with vastly differing circumstances, everyone has accumulated their own unique vibrational toolbox, so to speak.

Though the combinations are infinite, our temporary form is not, thus in a day and until our form expires, we are subject to a plethora of internal and external vibrations. Internally, all our mental formations constitute the corresponding nature of experience which daily the infinite mind thrusts us into, and because its vibrations are infinite, it has no problem accommodating its various individual finite minds with any number of matching vibrations. Our external actions and reactions and interactions between any outlying field of consciousness allows spontaneous forging of vibrations. Both factors are equally crucial. The Earth is the one in which all appropriate external vibrations (or experiences/circumstances which we shepherd ourselves into) are embedded in for us at this time, and it is as much a sentient aspect of Creator as any of us are.

The vibration of love attracts experiences of love. One whose vibratory state is that of curiousity will have ample opportunity in which to explore this curiosity. Many factors come together however, and it is not just limited to the particular distortion which you held which brought about the experiential manifestation. Hence why, when reaching a state of intense internal stillness, a state of oneness and unity, does phenomenon correspondent with this occur, namely 'feeling closer to God' or 'awakening the divine within'. It is the closest experience to infinity, to unity, available to us in this place, thus why the act of deep meditation is strongly encouraged. One may be said to be nearly and fully representing the macrocosm in the microcosm when they achieve sunyata or nirvana or just simply deep tranquility through meditation because this is the closest to depicting the state of being held by the One Infinite Creator. Constant seemingly chaotic yet ordered movement and expansion, emanating from the absolute stillest of beings. When all mental chatter has quieted down and a state of 'emptiness' behind one's awareness is achieved it becomes much more feasible to enact one's true functioning as a divine eye wading through Creation. However, it is not an eye as we know it. Our eyes may only see. We, as divine eyes, manifest what we see before us and are able to interact.

Just by simply being aware, each and every one of you is performing a wondrous service. Through this finite illusion Creator is allowed to bear witness to the many vibrations which comprise it, though our sphere is but a cell, an atom within it. Relative to the rest of Creation, we are akin to bacteria or ants, and yet there is no insignificance to us. An ant and a star system are equally cherished and each are as much a part of the One as anything. Regardless of what form is taken or what different mish-mash of vibrations compose a being, it does not alter the fact that it is but another manner of the One experiencing the All.

[Shin'Ar]

GWV said "When all mental chatter has quieted down and a state of 'emptiness' behind one's awareness is achieved it becomes much more feasible to enact one's true functioning as a divine eye wading through Creation."

I would be extremely curious to know what each person reading this thinks when they try to discern the meaning of 'emptiness' as Godwide has used it here.

It seems GWV raises three concepts - emptiness, awareness, and mental chatter. In my experience, mental chatter is what blocks awareness from being experienced.

In my familiarity with Buddhist concepts, I tend to want to define emptiness as a state of no desire, no movement, just being without trying to even direct awareness towards this beingness.

So perhaps this emptiness can only be "achieved" once one is familiar with their awareness?

Mental chatter doesn't necessarily block awareness. You need to be aware of mental chatter in order to quiet it down in the first place, don't you? Awareness is never blocked unless one is in an unconscious state, though even then the continuum of awareness may be resumed if one falls into a dream or visionary state. If mental chatter blocked awareness then that would mean that any passing thought would render you unconscious. Perhaps what you were getting at is that when one loses themselves to the constant mental chatter one isn't as aware or grounded with the clarity one would hold if they were diligent in their awareness.

You've highlighted a few key points of emptiness in the manner in which I used it. Yes, there is no desire and no forced direction, but there is movement. The state of absolute emptiness as I know and feel it now differs from the arisen state of merely emptying out one's thoughts and remaining silent, though both are crucial benefactors. The emptiness as I feel it now is the absolute and complete disintegration of the sense of identity as it is related to the temporary form. Visualize yourself and your surroundings (your entire 'field of consciousness' as Shin'Ar had termed it) as comprising a monolithic eye.

Any and all movement which is then performed is executed and inspired by the god-wide void which dwells behind/within/above/beyond one, and the connection is made once one completely submits themselves to this void, this abyssal architect, allowing no mental formations (obstacles) to act as filters which would obstruct the connection. It is a simultaneous acknowledgement that to be one with everything, one must first revert to absolute nothingness. The true transfiguration into proper emptiness can only be achieved once one has ventured to the very edges of what must first be known and aware of, to the edges of infinity one must voyage before one may return to the singularity of nothingness as infinity incarnate.

It is from this emptiness which springs forth all possibility, to know oneself as Brahman, the ground of all phenomenon. There are two ways to view the last fragment of my sentence. On one hand, all life experience one undergoes would not be if you, your empty awareness, were not there to behold it. An infinite number of experiences are occurring at this very moment, outside your door, yet none involve you because you have not stepped outside your door and placed yourself in the proper position to bear witness to them. You are the ground of localized phenomenon; this is the insight which arises if one remains chained to the notion that the temporary form plays a role in one's true identity. The second, more absolute insight, is that You are the ground of all phenomenon occurring across the entire Creation; this insight arises when one's identity is completely viewed as being an individualized portion of the One Infinite Creator which sprang forth from the god-wide void, the Source, undergoing the experience of being finite and material, experiencing what it has created in an ephemeral physical form.

Merely getting oneself into a state of meditative stillness does not beget the state of divine emptiness. The state of the void is entered only when one has been able to completely integrate and feel themselves as the aforementioned, as one attempts to emulate the beingness of the void, and it is sustained the more one acknowledges themselves as being an eye of God meandering about in which the manifestation of the One dwells fully, watching, waiting, controlling.

This is the meaning of "emptiness" as I have used it.

---

So to answer your question:

So perhaps this emptiness can only be "achieved" once one is familiar with their awareness?

Yes, once one is familiar with the true nature of their awareness, this 'emptiness' as I have used the term may be achieved.

[Aaron]

That is a brilliant post, Godwide... Thank you!!

[Shin'Ar]

GWV constantly amazes me with this ability to express the things I feel and can never seem to put into proper words.

It makes me think of that state, when our eyes are closed, between deliberately looking at the chaotic abstract in the darkness there, and then suddenly being able to create whatever we choose by a simple thought and having it come to view in a spilt second as we imagine it.

That line between the uncontrolled chaos and the controlled imagination.

[godwide_void]

There is indescribable beauty and delight in harnessing that untamed, uncontrolled, independently continuing and underlying chaos of the void and channeling it into tranquil and harmonious focus, transmuting spontaneous and unfocused darkness into reigning unidirectional light. The absolute darkness of the void sustaining the ineffable pillar of light.

[Shin'Ar]

. The absolute darkness of the void sustaining the ineffable pillar of light.

Makes me picture the great finger of the Creator pointing into the dark waters of the sea to begin the endless ripples that will follow.

[Agua del Cielo]

I first experienced myself as The One ,Creator, God whatever you call it on MDMA.
It is completely impossible to describe this. But i was very unwilling to come back to my current incarnation. My "sitter" had to work really hard to get me nack, it took several hours.
Even After the effect of the substance ended, it would be in a state where i couldnt speak any sentence containing the word "I" for around four days.
My very identity had completely dissolved (for a while).
I would fall in state of deep depression afterwards, because i couldnt stand the comparison between my normal state and the god-experience. I thought, maybe i will never experience this again.
Three months later, i had another experience such as this, this time no substamces involved but using trance-inducing sounds.
The experience seemed differemt this time, but again, there was only one, only unity.
This made me relax a whole lot, since i realized "probably it will occur more often".

Next time was on lsd, maybe half a year later. This time, the experience was even more different. Where there was only "consciousness" in my first experience, this time i would experience "being".
I spent millions of years in it, although it was maybe and hour in this world, then i would answer and question and let myself fall once more into "being" for millions of years.

After this experience, i realized, that i experienced the same "thing" each time, the creator. But i realized that my consciousness could only hold an infinite tiny portion of it. And each time i would remember a different tiny portion.

These experiences would occur more and more often, sometimes using substamces, sometimes without, sometimes when my heart was so moved that it would ever expand until all exploded into oneness.
For quite some time these experiences would occur on a almost regular basis.

At some point i became frustrated, falling back into my "normal" state afterwards. I really had a problem with everyday live, i wanted to have this as my normal state
And, although i have been on the "healing route" already for quite some time, i realized that the unhealed issues in me are what prevents me from experiencing higher consciousness.
I realized, as long as there are so many unhealed emotions in me, i would maybe experience unity every once in a while but fall back into a miserable life again.
So, just in vase anybody wondered why i so relentlessly stress the utmost importance of healing, this is why

I have to add, i am very grateful for being a part of a community where i can speak so freely about such experiences. I only shared this with very few people so far ( for obvious reasons).
Thank you all!

ONE ONE, (LOL that greeting is really growing on me ) Dear Agua =)

was there in 2005. Took about 10 years to integrate with this perspectives personality drivers and it´s still an ongoing process with daily updates.

Just judging from your story perspective style, you have an over distorted reality perspective, past pure physical individualization in a here/not here OrIGINaL disorientation. during the writing of the above words, you have assigned this reality as your original reference point (self as a drop, who experienced the ocean and now have returned to it´s "original" state), Acting like your experience with unity is some kind of tourist attraktion when it´s the other way around, You came from there, just like EverYBodYThiNG else. you are a tourist here, and survival instinct is our over DrAmaTiC tour guide in how to operate in a world with simulated danger. Recommendation; MeDiTaTe on BeING thE OCEaN iN thE PresenTLY EmBraced DroP (LikE EveRYBoDY ELsE). (is it not mindbogglingly impressive of the ocean being able to limit it self to a drop even if just for an instant? Must have been Long and tedious work of eternal trial and error to figure that one out!)

aLL the best my other me /you, in another point of view <3 <3 <3

Not sure if this is on thread or not quite, please let me know..

I have been meditating for many years and for a long time had random thoughts, the mental chatter that GWV speaks to, coming in and out and was trying to just observe and see them go, then one time it just stopped. I really dont know how this happened, it just did and now it's very easy, taking barely a minute to find silence and really some sort of bliss since sometimes i will feel tears coming down. I think studying a bit Kriya yoga helped me too. So if anyone is interested,

But before studying Kriya yoga, about twelve years ago I had an interesting episode, of all things, driving on a half empty freeway.. it was a week end and traffic was light and I was between two cities, the weather was beautiful and I was sort of talking to, sorry... palm trees that I could see with light breeze, and thanking them, and at one point on that freeway I knew that if I turned around I could see the line of the downtown of a city so I did fast turn around my head, while driving, I know, not really wise ... and suddenly not only I could see the downtown line but far far beyond it the ocean, it was miles away and really usually never seen because of fog or pollution. It was so clear, and then suddenly I was part of everything, I had turned back to face where my car was heading, but there was a tar stain on the freeway and I was that tar stain and then an electric pole and I was that electric pole and inside the trunk of a palm tree and I started to laugh because it was like all was so simple, it was so clear and so simple, there is no other word. The next three days I felt like I was walking on air and the sort of lightness subsided little by little but I still remember the sheer beauty of that simpleness. i feel very grateful.

Thanks a lot brother.

I was working on the Alchemical Marriage ...

which is combining the internal male energies (I am a human male) with a female mirror of those energies ...

thereby creating an internal balance, or Unity ...

Can you describe this system? Are you talking about sexual magick? Thanks.

Peace, love and light.

Can you describe this system? Are you talking about sexual magick?

oh wow!  That was such a long time ago!

to be honest, I can't be sure what *exactly* I was talking about.

if I had to hazzard a guess, from the language, I think you're right - it did have a sexual energy component.

The work of Mantak Chia, for example, which I mentioned elsewhere just recently.

But basically, without a sexual partner, even releasing one's 'excess' through masturbation is a very 'dry' activity.  

That's probably what I meant by that statement, in terms of 'balancing the male energies'.

But yeah, I can only refer you to that author.

I did have one or two transcendental experiences at the time.  But let's just say that the Alchemical Marriage wasn't a lasting bond.  Still more work to do on my end, before I was able to be more 'aligned'.
