Montreal Dinner - Alchemical Sex and Its

Synopsis

The talk explores the esoteric and alchemical dimensions of human development, particularly focusing on the cultivation of the "higher bodies" and the transformative aspects of sex. It critiques conventional understanding and emphasizes the necessity of preparation, seeking real knowledge, and the conscious differentiation between the self and "the machine." A key theme is the disciplined redirection of human energies, especially sexual energy, towards spiritual and chemical refinement as described in mystical traditions.

Summary

The speaker begins by referencing esoteric books that discuss the concept of the 'seven bodies' of man and the development of each in relation to spiritual and alchemical processes. The discussion transitions into the importance of directed questioning and preparation before engaging in deeper esoteric work.

A significant portion of the talk emphasizes alchemical transmutation—alluding to the processes by which mundane substances within the human organism can be refined into more potent energies. This leads to an exploration of sex not as mere pleasure but as a process of transformation, contingent upon proper understanding, discipline, and the ability to differentiate between consciousness and 'the machine' (the instinctual and automatic functions of the body).

The speaker highlights the necessity of dissolving personal ego and conventional identification with the self to access higher realities, drawing parallels between alchemical sex and the broader search for awakening. This dissolution also applies to relationships and monastic practices, arguing that traditional female roles in esotericism are more innate, while men must actively strip away their identity to engage at the depth required for transformation.

The audience is challenged to reflect on attention and presence as essential tools for awakening. Emphasis is placed on the ability to separate oneself from automatic functions and consciously direct energy. Various anecdotes, including experiences in monasteries and esoteric schools, are used to illustrate the difficulty and necessity of accessing real knowledge through effort and sacrifice rather than by mere intellectual understanding.

The talk concludes by reinforcing that true transformation is not for personal gain but as part of a broader cosmic function. Without a higher aim, pursuing alchemical sex—or any esoteric practice—risks devolving into another form of indulgence rather than conscious evolution.
