Course XLII - Teaching 7: Exercises for Monitoring the Sacrum Wheel

The practice of certain exercises is advisable to achieve internal transmutation and to transmute external forces into internal ones. Without these exercises and in spite of sexual continence constantly practiced, it is difficult for the disciple to transform matter into energy, and energy into mind.
Here is an exercise for monitoring the Sacrum Wheel.
In the morning time, and at a solitary and tranquil place, the student should be seated, his body and head straight, and hands on the pubis level; slowly he vocalize Va, Sa, Sha and Sha, imagining orange color around. Being totally calmed down, he will concentrate his mind as strongly as possible on his glans; without sexual stimulation, after he gets an erection and remains so without semen effusion, he shall feel his sperm transferred to blood. Light pains, like pricks, in testicles shall help him perceiving it. Then, he lets his glans fall flaccidly, and concentrates as much as possible on transmuting this substance from sacrum plexus to subsequent plexuses.
Certain odoriferous emanations permit to check how the individual progresses in this exercise.
The transmutation purifies the blood and renews the tissues and, while this process takes place, one’s skin forms a foul-smelling sweating, which sometimes is unbearable, particularly in our feet. When this exercise goes on, this smell gradually changes: first, like fresh milk, a characteristic smell in children; later, it smells good; and finally, the regenerated body has the perfume of a flower, something like a nard.
Particularly, the feet and genital organs do not have bad smell in pure and chaste persons.
Women express their sexual desire through an odorous secretion from Bartolino’s glands. We are told a virtuous and chaste woman “smells good, like a lily”.
Of course, the exercise of vital renewal preserves organic cells from decomposition; in certain particular cases, corpses of many saints of all religions remain incorrupt and emit a sweet fragrance. The body not only becomes sensitive through the odoriferous ether but also through external smells. Not only continent men but also married men are able to transmute. Over and above, a married man has to restrain –as for works, words and thoughts– his sexual instincts with any woman that is not his legal mate: “What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder”, because sexual union transmits from one body to another, magnetic currents and their interruption is extremely harmful.
The man has to be chaste even with his wife, and to think rather in her mate satisfaction than in his own satisfaction.
At the coitus time, the man has to raise his thought to the creative source, to the cosmic matrix, and will wish to store all his forces there. During the embrace he will restrain, with will power, an easy ejaculation, and when he is ejaculating, his thought shall be fixed on the pineal gland. After a while, he will notice that, thanks to this exercise, certain material part is driven outward, while the energetic part climbs the brain like a cold current along the spine.
The first exercise should be practiced under the guide of an experienced teacher, because its improper use could be harmful.
On the realization time, just a touch of the aspirant can open the most hermetic gates.
