 THE TWO SCHOOLS

Reality (Li in Chinese) it can be seen suddenly, but matter (Shih in Chinese) must be grown in a progressive and orderly manner.

In other words, having reached ecstasy, it must be cultivated until its complete development and maturity.

Thus, esoteric work consists of two main aspects, vision and action.

To have a vision must climb to the top of the mountain and look from there; to begin the journey must descend to the bottom of the abyss and start walking from there.

Although the Zen temple, which is a marvelous form of Mahayana Buddhism, is sustained by the two pillars of the "Vision" and "Action" it is ostensible that puts special emphasis on the first one.

This is clearly recognized by the Guruji, I Shan, who said, "Your Vision and not your Action is what matters to me."

Therefore the Zen Masters put all the emphasis on Ecstasy, the Samadhi, the Satori, and concentrate all their efforts on directly bring his disciples or chelas to it.

Tibetan Hinayana School is different and although his two main columns are also the "Vision" and "Action" is unquestionable that places special solemnity on the latter and fight tirelessly to bring their devotees to the Ninth Sphere (the Sex).

It is not superfluous in this chapter say that the Mahayana school aspirants crave in truth and with infinite longing the direct experience of the Illuminating Void.

In no way we exaggerate concepts if we say with some vehemence that the disciples of the Hinayana school work tenaciously in the Forge of the Cyclops (Sex), with the intelligent purpose of achieving the Intimate Self-Realization of Illuminating Void.

When the mind is quiet, when the mind it is silent, inside and out and in the center, there comes the mystical experience of the Void; however, it is obvious that Self-Realization is something very different.

Emptiness is not very easy to explain. Certainly I say that is not definable or describable.

The language of these humanoids who populate the face of the earth, has been created to designate existing things and feelings; it is not adequate to express that which is beyond the body, affections and the Mind.

The Illuminating Void is not a matter of knowing or not knowing, experience it directly is indicated.

"Vision" and "Action" complement each other. The two cited schools are indispensable.

See with infinite lucidity is only possible in the absence of the Ego, the Myself, the Self, dissolve it is urgent.

Conscious action is the result of progressive work in the Forge of the Cyclops (sex).

The "Golden Flower" establishes perfect harmonious balance between the "Vision" and "Action".

The "Golden Embryo", the "Sublime Flower," is the extraordinary basement of the Intimate Buddha.

Archaic ancient traditions say there are two kinds of BUDDHAS:

a) Transitory BUDDHAS.

b) Permanent BUDDHAS.

It is clear that the first one are in transit from sphere to sphere, struggling to make themselves the Illuminating Void. It is unquestionable that the latter are the Buddhas of Contemplation; those who had already realized within themselves the Illuminating Void.

In the esoteric study of Zen (marvelous way of the Mahayana school) there are two very interesting Chinese terms: "Chien" and "Hsing".

Used as a verb, Chien means to see, or look; used as a noun it means the view, the Understanding, or observation.

Hsing means Practical Action, the esoteric work. It can also be used as a verb or noun.

"Chien" in its most intimate sense, it means all mystic understanding of the Buddhist teaching; But in Zen, not only denotes clear and evident understanding of the principles and Truth-Prajna, but also involves the Vision Awake arising from the Experience "Wu" (Satori, Ecstasy, Samadhi).

"Chien" in this transcendental and divine sense, can be understood as reality view or a vision of reality. Even if it means seeing reality, it does not imply possession or domain thereof.

"Hsing" the fruitful and creative work in the Flaming Forge of Vulcan, is fundamental when is wanted the possession and mastery of the Real.

 MEN AWAKE

The awakened monk called Tien Jan went to visit the Venerable Master Hui Chang.

Upon arrival, very solemnly he asked some ascetic helper if the "Real Master" was at home. The mystic replied:

- "Yes, but not receive visits." Tien Jan said:

- "Oh!, what you say is too deep and strange" The assistant anchorite replied:

- "Not even Buddha's eyes can see it." Then Tien Jan argued

- "The female Dragon birth a little Dragon and The female Phoenix birth a small phoenix!" And then withdrew.

Later, when Hui Chang left the meditation in which he was and learned what had happened at home, he hits the religious assistant.

When Tien Jan heard about this, he made the following comment: "This old deserves to be called the Real Master."

The next day Tien Jan, the man of awakened Consciousness, returned to visit the Guru Hui Chang.

According to the exotic Eastern customs, as he saw the Guru spread his blanket on the floor (like preparing to sit for his teachings). Chang Hui said:

- "No need, no need." Tien Jan drew back a little and Royal Master said emphatically:

-"It's okay, it's okay". But in an unusual way. Tien Jan again took a few steps. Then the Real Master said:

-"No no". Yet, Tien Jan understood everything, gave a symbolic lap around the Hierophant and left.

Later, the Venerable said: "Much time has passed since the days of the Blessed. People are now very lazy. Within thirty years it will be very difficult to find a man like this. "

Strange attitudes! Instantaneous telepathic talks! "Intuitions" that are flashing...

Explaining all this would be like castrating teaching: our beloved readers should grasp its deep meaning...

Hui Chang possessed the "Golden Embryo" is ostensible that had realized itself the "Illuminating Void".

Tien Jan was also a man with awakened Consciousness, someone who although he had not yet self-realized the Void, possessed the "Golden Flower".

Huang Po once met an awakened monk and walked beside him. When they arrived near a tempestuous river, rushing furiously among its bedrock, Huang Po took off for a moment his bamboo hat and, putting aside his cane, stopped to think how could go through.

While in these reflections, suddenly something unusual happened; the other monk walked on the stormy waters of the river without letting their feet touch the water, and came quickly to the other side.

Ancient traditions that are lost in the mists of centuries tells, when Huan Po saw the miracle, bit his lip and said, "Oh! I did not know you could do that; to know I had pushed him to the bottom of the river. "

These miraculous powers are simply the natural products of true enlightenment and have awakened men, those who already fabricated the "Golden Embryo" in the "Fiery Forge of Vulcan" (Sex).

Chang Chen-Chi tells the following story:

"The Zen Master Pu Hua had been Lin Chi's assistant. One day he decided that it was time to die and then went to the market and asked people to give him a dress for charity. But when some people offered him dress and other clothes, he refused and continued the march with his stick in his hand ".

"When Lin Chi heard this, he persuaded some people to give Pu Hua a coffin. So, they offered Pu Hua a coffin. He smiled and told donors. This individual, Lin Chi is really bad and charlatan ".

"After the coffin accepted and announced to people: Tomorrow go out of town on the East gate and die somewhere in the eastern suburbs.

The next day many people in the city, carrying the coffin escorted him to the door of the East. But suddenly he stopped and said, Oh, no, no, according to Geomancy, this day is not auspicious. It is better to die tomorrow in a southern suburb.

So, the next day, everyone headed to the south gate but Pu Hua changed his mind again and said people would rather die the next day, in the suburb of the West.

Many fewer people went to escort the next day. And again Pu Hua changed his mind, saying he postponed his departure from this world one more day and then die in a northern suburb. By then people had grown weary of the matter and so nobody escorted him the next day.

Hua Pu himself had to carry the coffin to the North suburb. When he arrived he got into the coffin, always with the stick in his hand, and waited the arrival of some passersby. Then he asked them nailed the coffin once he was dead. When they agreed, he lay down and died.

Then (continued telling Chang Chen-Chi), passersby nailed the drawer, as promised.

The news of this fact soon came to the city and people began arriving in droves. Someone suggested then to open the coffin to take a look at the body, but in doing so, to their surprise, found nothing.

Before recovering from the surprise heard from heaven, the familiar sound of the bells of the staff that Pua Hua had carried all his life.

At first the tinkling was violent, because it was very close; then it became fainter and fainter, until finally disappeared entirely. Nobody knew where he had gone Pu-Hua ".

 GOETHE

In sublime ineffable ecstasy Goethe proclaimed his Divine Mother Kundalini as liberating authentic.

"Lift up your eyes to gaze saving.

You all, tender repentant souls,

For the purpose to transform you, full of gratitude

For a happy destiny.

That each purified sense is soon to her service.

Virgin, Mother, Queen, Goddess, Be propitious! "

Goethe knew well that without the aid of Devi Kundalini, the Igneous Serpent of our magical powers, would be more than impossible to eliminate the animal Ego.

Unquestionably the most famous love affairs of Goethe excluding naturally sustained with Cristina Vulpius, they were without exception more erotic than a sexual nature.

Waldemar says: "We do not claim too much to say that in Goethe that the enjoyment of the fantasy was so elemental in their relationships with women: he strove to perceive the sensation of enthusiastic consolation, in a word, muse the exciting element of women, which inflamed the spirit and heart and that all should seek to satisfy his matter ".

"The passionate love affair that was to Charlotte Buff, Lili or Federica Brion could not correspondingly propagate the whole situation to the sexual."

"Many literary stories and tried to expose plainly how far they came Goethe relations with Mrs. Von Stein. The facts examined credited the idea that it was a perfect correspondence. "

"That Goethe did not live, as is known, in complete sexual abstinence in Italy, and on his return to the homeland linking them soon a link with Cristina Vulpius, who nothing refused, allows the conclusion that should previously lacking something ".

"Undoubtedly, continues to tell Waldemar, Goethe loved the most passionately way when he was separated from the object of his yearning; only in reflection he took his body love and breathed ardor. "

"Invariably, when leaves sprouting from his pen the outpourings of his heart to Mrs. Von Stein, is really close to her ... closer than ever could physically be."

Herman Grimm rightly says: "We have seen how his relationship with Lotte is only understandable when we refer all his passion to the hours when you are not with her."

It is worth emphasizing in this chapter the idea that Goethe loathed the coitus of the fornicators “Omne animal post coitum triste”.

"So you bring to my love an unhappy enjoyment?

Take the desire of many songs,

Take again the brief pleasure.

Take it away and gives to the sad chest,

To the eternal sad chest, something better. "

Let the poet now speak! Let say what he feels! In truth and poetry writes: "I rarely went out, but our letters (referring to Federica) exchanged the more living. I became aware of their circumstances ... to keep them in mind, so it had before the soul with affection and passion its merits. "

"The absence made me free and all my inclination bloomed properly only by the talk in the distance. In such moments I could really let myself be dazzled by the future. "

In his "Bliss absence" poem clearly expresses his propensity for metaphysical erotic:

"Sip, oh young, from the sacred bliss the flower

Throughout the day in the eyes of the beloved! ...

    But that bliss is biggest than anything

  Being away from the object of love

              Anywhere I can forget her,

  But yes, sit quietly at the table,

  With cheerful spirit and in complete freedom.

  And the imperceptible delusion

  Venerate making love

  And Becomes illusion the desire. "

Waldemar commenting says: "The poet is nothing interested (and this should be recorded) by Mrs. Von Stein, for as she really was, but as he watched through the pressure of his own creative heart."

"His metaphysical yearning for the" eternal feminine "was projected so on Carlota, that in she saw the Mother, loved her, in a word, the Universal Principle or express it better, the very idea of ​​Eve. Already in 1775 he wrote: "It would be a grand spectacle to see how in this Soul is reflected the Universe. She sees the universe as it is, and certainly through love. "

"While Goethe could" poeticize "the girl he loved, that is to create an ideal entity which corresponded to the flight of his imagination, was faithful and devoted; but as the process of this "poetization" relaxed, whether from own fault or someone else, he retired. Invariably their poetic erotic sensations attempts to time the thing threatens to become serious, putting safe then the pathos of distance ".

Allow us the freedom to disagree with Goethe on this thorny point in his doctrine.

Loving someone at a distance, promise much and forget later, it seems too cruel; in the background that there is moral fraud...

Instead of stabbing adorable hearts, it is better to practice SAHAJA MAITHUNA with a priestess wife, love her and Rremain faithful throughout life.

This man learned the transcendental aspect of sex, but failed in the most delicate point, that is why he did not achieve the INTIMATE-SELF REALIZATION...

Goethe, worshiping his Divine MOTHER KUNDALINI, full of ecstasy exclaims:

"Virgin pure in the most beautiful sense,

Mother worthy of veneration,

Queen chosen for us

And status equal to the Gods! ...

Yearning to die in himself here and now during chemical coitus, wishing to destroy Mephistopheles he exclaims:

"Arrows, go through me;

Spears, subdue me;

Maces, wound me.

All disappear,

Fade all.

Shine perennial star,

Floodlight of eternal love. "

Unquestionably this great bard had a wonderful intuition; if only he had rediscovered in one woman; if he only had rediscovered the secret way in her; if he with she had worked throughout life in the ninth sphere, it is obvious that would arrived to the final liberation.

In his "Faust" with great success exposes faith in the possibility of raising the Golden Embryo released a Super Soul (the Superior Manas of Theosophy).

When this happens, this theosophical principle penetrates us and merged with the Golden Embryo goes through intimate extraordinary transformations; then it is said of us that we are Men with Soul.

In reaching these heights we reached the Mastery, the Adepted, we become active members of the Occult Fraternity.

This does not mean perfection in the fullest sense of the word. Well Divines and humans know how difficult it is achieving perfection in the Mastery.

By the way, it is urgent to know that such perfection is achieved only after making of background esoteric works on the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune worlds.

Anyway, the incarnation of the Human Soul or third aspect of the Hindustani Trimurti, known as Atman-Buddhi-Manas in us, and blending with the Golden Embryo is an extraordinary cosmic event that radically transforms us.

The incarnation of Superior Manas in us does not imply entry of Atmic and Buddhic principles into our organism. The latter belongs to further work on which we'll talk deeply about our future book entitled "The Three Mountains".

After this little digression essential for the agenda in question will continue with the following story:

It has long, happened me in the way of life something strange and unusual. One night, while I was busy in my interesting esoteric works outside the physical body, I had to get close with the Eidolon to the giant London.

I remember clearly that when passing by a certain place of that city could perceive with mystical amazement the radiant yellow aura of a certain intelligent young man who was in a corner.

I entered into a very elegant coffee that metropolis and sitting at a table I commented about the aforesaid case with a person of a certain age, that slowly savoring a cup of the content of that arabesque delicious drink.

Suddenly something unusual happens, a character approaches us and sits beside us; to observe him carefully I could verify with astonishment that it was the same glowing yellow aura of young man, who moments before how much astonish me.

After the usual presentations came to know that this subject was nothing less than that which in life wrote "Faust"; I refer to Goethe.

In the Astral world wonders happen, extraordinary events and wonders; It is not unusual to find one there with men already disembodied; with characters like Victor Hugo, Plato, Socrates, Danton, Moliere, etc.

So, dressed in the Eidolon I wanted talk with Goethe outside London and along the vast sea; I invited him and it is obvious that he in any way declined the invitation.

Talking together on the coast of the great British island where the English capital is located, we could see some mental waves of bloody red color floating on the stormy ocean were coming toward us.

I had to explain to this young man of radiant aura that those mental forms came from a lady who, in Latin America, wanted me sexually. This did not stop cause us some grief.

The stars glittered in infinite space and the raging waves roaring incessantly frightfully pounded the sandy beach.

Talking about the cliffs of Pontus he and I, exchanging ideas I asked him at point blank range, as we say here in the physical world, the following questions:

-¿Do you have Physical body again now? The answer was yes. Your current vehicle is male or female? Then he answered: 'My present body is feminine.

'In which country are you reincarnated? -In Holland. You -¿Do you love someone? Yes, he said, I love a Dutch prince and I marry him at a certain date. (Dispense the reader not to mention the latter).

I thought your love would be strictly universal; love the rocks, I said, mountains, rivers, seas, the bird which flies and the fish that slides into the deep waters. Is not it perhaps the human love a spark of divine Love? This type of response as a pronounced question who in his past reincarnation was called Goethe, certainly left me overwhelmed, perplexed, astonished. Undoubtedly, the distinguished poet had told me something irrefutable, incontrovertible, exact.
