Course XLI - Teaching 9: Life Renovation
An intense and terrible power emanates continuously from the Sacrum plexus in order to preserve life of man constantly; these forces remain partially stored in one’s genital organs.
These forces, concentrated in the coccygeal area like an electric charge, from there they push and form spermatic and germinal cells settled in the testicles and ovary.
Generation is made through these glands, but the act of begetting is not its only purpose.
In the last few years, science has proved that the genital glands, besides their external function, have an endocrine function that produces hormones that excite and stimulate our blood.
This inner secretion flows directly on the blood; the preservation, balance and youth of the system are dependent upon the abundance or scarcity of these hormones.
What secret power can inexorably wear away and age a man, even with no organic diseases?
Why do genetic forces decrease in old age, while they remain active in youth?
Because the sexual stimulus activates the said glands and enriches the blood with exciting hormones of youth.
The individual being, conscious of this secret power, has to stimulate his glands under the impulse of his sexual instinct, but also has to be able to do through the conscious action of his will.
He has to re-establish that which degenerated and to improve that which declined in the physical body by exercising a life renovation that is called transmutation.
The sacrum plexus receives directly its forces from the ethereal sacrum wheel, and when transmutation takes place through exercise, the astral center communicates directly with the center of the earth, where there is a center of renewing and vivifying forces of the whole planet; so, it withdraws from it a powerful energy that, poured on the system by the sacrum plexus, awakens and rejuvenates totally one’s being.
This ethereal fire, this power of the planet that renews human energies, has been masterly described by Rider Haggard in his novel “She”.
Also modern science, based on this principle, has started medulla grafts of young animal genital glands in decrepit persons in order to renew their energies; but these experiments will be soon forgotten because as long as they rejuvenate the individual being, delay his spiritual progress.
The future scientific rejuvenation will be made with cosmic energies and earthly radiation behind the form of ultra-short waves.
From immemorial times, religions and philosophies have closely linked the control of the genital function with spiritual development.
It is indispensable to stop these forces so that all of them do not go outward: they must be forced, out of an action of resistance, to seek new ways and go directly to one’s blood in order to enrich it with strength and vitality. The seminal liquid –true elixir of life– is as worth as life itself.
It is sexual continence the most advisable thing for transmutation; but, without continence, it would not be enough to transmute these outer forces into inner forces if one does not practice certain exercises. Also, this inner force has to transform matter into energy, and energy into mind by means of these exercises.
Progress and development in this Wheel can be detected in the subject by his odoriferous emanations.
Transmutation purifies blood and renews tissues, and as long as this process takes place, our skin emits a fetid sweating, which sometimes is unbearable and comes from our feet. As long as the exercise goes on, this smell changes gradually: first it is like that of fresh milk, which is characteristic in children; later, it smells well, as something clean; and finally, our regenerated body is fragrant like a flower, like a nard.
Particularly, feet and genital organs do not smell bad in pure and chaste persons.
Women express the sexual desire through the smell secreted by their Bartolino’s glands; but these glands emit lily smell in pure women. We are told that a chaste woman “smells like lilies”.
Of course, the exercise of life renovation preserves organic cells from decay; particular cases confirm this: in all religions, many bodies of saints remain incorrupt and spread a sweet fragrance.
The body becomes sensitive not only with the odoriferous ether, but also with outer smells.
