A MARRIAGE OF THE FAITHS OF EAST & WEST

Alchemy is the Christian's form of explaining Tantra.

Alchemy exists in most the major religions, especially Tao, Hinduism

(as Rasayana), and Islam. It did not begin in Europe until the

European Christians were exposed to it during their crusades in the

Holy Land, probably from the crusading Knights Templar, who were

attached to the scholarly Benedictine Order. For centuries, most

Alchemical writers were Catholic monks or priests. There were

hundreds of Catholic priests who wrote about Alchemy, until Papal

Bulls against Alchemy banned it, not because they thought it was

untrue, but because they didn't want people making Alchemical Gold.

Alchemical Gold can literally be made by a Siddha with the power of

mind-over-matter, or it can be a symbol for the Reborn Body of the

adept.

 

Alchemy had a revival after the Protestant Reformation in Germany,

Holland, and especially England. Henry VIII's last name was Tudor.

His family coat of arms had a cross with a rose on it. Some two dozen

or so English intellectuals, probably headed by a German physician,

Dr. Michael Maier, from Frankfurt, founded the Brotherhood of the

Rosie Cross around the time of Henry VIII, when he broke with the

Catholic Church. Maier is considered the first Grand Master of The

Brotherhood of the Rosie Cross, followed by Robert Fludd, then Thomas

Vaughan (Eugenius Philaleths). Most alchemical treatises are so

obscure you could read them all and still comprehend nothing of

the " Art " . This typical obscurity existed in the scriptures of all

religions.

 

Iran (Persia) was the center of the Sufi movement in Islam. Many

allusions to Tantra can be found found in such works as the Rubaiyat

of Omar Khaiyyam or the Masnavi of Jalalludin Rumi and many others.

So, although there is no sign that Mohammed knew about it, many

Moslems after him did. About the closest Mohammed came to it in the

Koran, was when he often mentioned the Resurrection, which was to

come. Well Mohammed, the Dwij or Genetic Rejuvenation is that

Resurrection, and it is here now! It is the Second Coming of Christ,

when you consider that the word " Christ " is derived from " Christen " ,

meaning " anoint " .

 

It alludes to being " Born Again of Water and Holy Spirit " , as Jesus

called it. It does not refer to a man, " lest any man boast " . It is an

Inner Manifestation of Rejuvenation and the Siddhis or " Gifts of the

Holy Spirit " (I Cor. 12). As such, there is no idolatry in our

religion - nothing to worship and no rituals or mantras. That doesn't

mean we should stop adoring Jesus, the unrivalled Tantric

ParamJagatGuruji of this world and this age. That is not to say that

he is not accompanied by many others, known or unknown, of such

quality. Religions are but the " outside of the cup " , and most of

their scriptures will at least allude to Rasa Tantra, and the Rasa is

inside the cup. Of course, whichever Scripture is the most literal

about it, will be preferred by us.

 

This Tantric " Secret Doctrine " , as Helena Blavatsky calls it, is that

Unifying Doctrine in the world's scriptures. It is a lamentation that

the world's religions seek to increase their " territory " under the

banner of different divisive doctrines, since they are blind to the

Doctrine of establishing Truth by Scientific Method. We must define

all the terms we are using in order to comprehend each other. And we

must also define WHY we pursue a doctrine and what we hope to gain

from it. Then we amass the evidence or Secondary Analysis, whereby we

formulate a theory of what must be done (our Experimental Research

Design), and what we theorize will happen, so we will know what to

expect from this Experimental Practice. These results will determine

the success or failure of an experiment.

 

To be " Born again of Water and Spirit " sums up what we are trying to

accomplish, with the " Gifts of the Holy Spirit " also. There are many

more such siddhis than the ones listed by St. Paul. The most basic

and common of Siddhis is Telepathy, including Clairvoyance and

Clairaudience. This implies an opening of the Third Eye and of the

Inner Ear to what is known in the Hatha Yoga Pradipika as the Anahat

Nad. This also implies that the Soul or Atman can leave the body,

going into the Etheric Plane or Akasha, and then re-enter the body,

commonly called Astral Projection, Soul Travel or OOBE (out of the

body experience).

 

The Eckankar movement was rightfully dedicated to Soul Travel in the

Atma Swarup or Soul Body, known as the Ka or Double in Egyptian

hieroglyphics (sacred writing). Interestingly, Eckankar means " One Om

Body " . Om is written in Sanskrit calligrapy as a lingam joined to a

vagina, accompanied by the sign of the sun and moon, which is now

used as a sign of Islam. Sun and Moon are ancient symbols for man and

woman. Recall that moon is Soma in Sanskrit. Sanskrit means sacred

writing or Saint Script.

 

I am a Christian minister and can even more easily think in Sanskrit

and work as a Hindu or Mahayani Swami. Religions are but " musical

chairs " or the " outside of the cup " . If you are an idolater and

worship various things, other " religions " look different. But good

theologians and wise diplomats realize there is no difference in

the " Esoteric Doctrines " of the various religions, and hence, no

discord over religious foolishness, such as the fundamentalists would

impose on us. Jai Om. Sai Ram
