HISTORY OF RELIGION AND RRO

The secret Universe of omniscient creative impetus
comprises the power-house generating our obvious universe.

From this power-house science has induced innumer-
able demonstrations of its mathematical abstract potency.

While Religion has aspired to convince us of
its authenticity, its authority

RELIGION AND RRO

Since intellection outgrew the aboriginal
simplicities it advanced through two seemingly irreconciliable
channels

The mystic meditation of early Asia. The Scientific
research of a younger occident. Each a system for investigating
the Power Universe to further mans "Domination over all
things" enjoyment of surpirsing revelations to be drawn
into the open out of the unseen.

Difference of these systems

The Asiatic-mystic-scientist handled no
laboratorial or mechanistic intermediary for probing the
resources of the power-Universe. He found all needed experimental
resources in the Mind-Body make-up of the human individual:
an ego-laboratory.

Inversely to the direct co-operation of the
ancients, the occidental scientist interposes between
himself and the Power Universe gigantic machinery, micro-
scopic instrumentation to indirectly contact it. An
incommunicative contact which compared to that of the ancients
seems perilously like interference.

The oriental attained levitation.

The occidental flies a bomber.

The oriental aspiration contacted Power

the occidental, force:

The distinction:--

POWER: creative dynamism, consciously operative,
solely constructive.

In contacting power, lies immunity to the destructive
religion's salvation.

FORCE merely a derivative of Power isolated, by
limitation of intellect from its conscious motivation.

In force lies peril, destruction, fragmentation
RELIGION'S DAMNATION.

* the agonies of life-into-death result from the undeveloped
consciousness of other larger dimensions of our animation.

RELIGION'S POWER OF GOD VERSUS REALISM'S BLIND FORCE

wherewith man, mistaking destruction for dominion, furthers
the ultimate menace to his perfectability.

Whatever transpired in the Ego-laboratory of
mystic research proved so mysterious to the occidentals
that finally they easily accepted it as the mystery to end
all mysteries: the nothing-at-all.

Albeit to an observer from some cosmic distance the
mystery would be cleared ---

It is not prohibitive to man, as the complete
microcosm, to train his intelligence on his components and
gain control of their potentialities. To avail himself of
his resources, akin to the atomic, electronic etc. in order
to transcend the restrictions of his overt senses.

As the nature of phenomena apparent to us at
present depends on the gamut of vibrations to which man,
through his senses responds, in the course of his evolution
this gamut extends - - -

Throughout the ages and still today a few human
beings are born who exceptionally react to vibrational

4

stimuli beyond the standard gamut. A simple, rational,
electrical extension endowing them with quirks of perception
* comparable to telepathy, television . . . etc.

THE EGO-LABORATORY

The religious concept that man is fitted to become
consciously involved in the relationship of the perceptible
to the imperceptible universe originated in occasional
men of precursive genium being aware of Life as a Deific
Electricity, proceeding from the <u>Absolute Status</u>, conveying
to us our animation, our intelligence, our intuition.

It was the logical conviction of such men that
increment from this infinite source of power would be at their
disposal the more they adapted their organisms to draw upon
it.

The mystic, closing his eyes, his ears, inverted the
senses from the multiple outlets for contact, <u>concentrating</u> the
various electric currents of mind and body to an unique
current, of which, its intensity too great for reception
in the concrete world, he sought, through meditation to
analyse the abstract potency.

*
Noticeably, so-called 'supernatural' manifestations, by virtue
of the similarity of their occurrence have always been regulated
by laws as defined as those governing this world's accepted
science.

5

This concentrated mind, inducing INTUITION found itself functioning, a little, within the realm of causation, a little aware how the laws of the self-rule of the Power-universe operate.

## THE ELEMENTARY DISCOVERY

The rhythm of breath attuning the organism it aereates? to the rhythm of the concrete world, the mystic noticed its interference with the concentration of the mind upon the abstract; each inbreath drawing the mind anew back to its concrete associations. His mind wandered --- --- --- ---

He determined to let his breathing drop out of the way of his attention --- and succeeding, that rhythm modified; his breath subsided --- --- ---

He felt his body sustained no longer by our air but by something comparable to the ether, which, interpenetrating its atomic structure, liberated his organism from biological law hitherto insurmountable.

This lightening of the body, this ethnic transmutation of the mind's instrument, liberated that latent faculty of the mind for reception of a transcendent form of radio transmission.

He found his perception, usually narrowed down to focus on the concrete world as intellect when released from this focus to amplify its contacts as it FLOWED BACK ALONG THE CURRENT OF ITS CONVEYANCE from the All-Conscious, whose

6

medium may be likened to INTELLIGENTIAL ETHER.

At this stage of increasing potency his mind became reinforced as spirit; its ultimate dimension attainable being soul indestructable component of the Absolute.

Subject to his new potency in spirit he found the etheric transposal set him free from the pull of gravity; permitted accelerated locomotion without muscular effort. He gained control of his own electric system, experimented with its use, the electronic transfer of his person through space, the projection of his mental perceptivity to a distance, etc.:

Released from the vibrational circumscription of the concrete whose laws are subordinate to the dominant LAW of the Power-Universe, he came to understand that law by which the functioning of our usual universe may be modified,

(1) The structure of matter rearranged

(2) The materialising function of power

(3) The nature of the elements overruled by Power

(4) Electric life reconducted within the body **

\*\* law invoked in working miracles

\*\*\* (1) of instantaneous healing

(2) multiplication of the loaves and fishes

(3) walking on the sea -- calming the storm

(4) raising the dead

The control of these psychic exercises operated
from a cerebral centrum, named and located by the ancients.

Its contraction emitted a five line of prolonged
sensitivity into distance - - - its dilation incepted
communication from the infinite knower. The supreme director
from whom, the psychic scientist conceived, though increasing
exercise of the spirit, full revelation of, and the
cooperation with the unseen universe should eventually be
transmitted to him.

Herein originated the PRACTICE of religion.
EXERCISE OF THE SPIRIT incurring actual psychic gymnastics.

Exercise of the spirit induced ENLIGHTENMENT
ILLUMINATION ECSTASY

The experience of illumination was incommunicable;
could only, in description be hinted at. LIGHT was not
primarily a synonym for wisdom. It indicated the perception
of that other light, overtentious for reception by the organ eye.
Authenticated in the past through the research of the man-is-
the-measure-of-the-Universe scientist in his self-circumscribed
laboratory, this light, a lucence transpiercing the light of
the world, is handed down to us in the symbol halo; now
passed off as primitive decoration, while modern science
makes use of the infra-red - - - - - - allusion to God
as 'the father of lights' is not merely sublime poetry.

Above all in illumination the mystic abstractly
perceived the impossible to blossom forth as the POSSIBLE.

8

CONTEMPLATION drew him far beyond his ego-electric exercises. In BOSTASY he at last tuned in on THE CREATIONAL OVERTURE - -

- - -on beauty before its semblance descends

- - -on music before it in utterance descends

- - -on the source of presensate ecstasy whereof, to earth life, Eros alone brings some intimation.

However evasive of description their illumined experience, it imposed upon all illuminati an obligation: to impart to others the formula for its inducement.

An importation involving the esoteric import of the CIRCLE.

Deific electricity coursing through a circle of mentalities, all concentrated on a like aspiration * increased the spiritual power.

* its corporeal counterpart is evidenced in the intensified animation of people gathered for a party.

Herein the origin of religious assembly perhaps indicative of consummate attainment being eventually only encompassable by all men as one whole one circle.

Hence the religious insistence on the BROTHERHOOD OF MAN.

THE ELEVATIONAL MAGNET

Illumination effected our elevation of the
spirit to that *other magnet* opposite to the Earth's attraction:
a gravitation upward - - - a sublime buoyancy.

The eastern attitude of prayer, the joined palms,
the soles of the feet pressed flatly together, precluding
the ego-electricity from running off into the ground
as in our bi-ped activity, constrained it, through
circling and recircling, to vivifying accumulation sufficient
for cooperating with the electric inspiration of Deity.
The fingers tapered to point upward serving as antennae.

Study of the esoteric, is not needful to prove
the effectiveness of this *gravity upward*. Hapahazardly
we connect with if, when, for no apparent cause, at certain
times we find ourselves suddenly light as air skimming the
pavement, where oppositely at some recent hour, our leaden
legs seemingly bored into the earth a tonnage of onerous
animation, under a like leaden lunge of the brain to the
tug of the terrestrial center.

To the mystic our human world of phenomena as we
experience it at present compares to a sculpture-picture, a
radio-television broadcast in three dimensions, issuant from
the Deific designer; while to the non-mystic this projected
image of the actor assumes his entire identity, dynamism,
origin and permanence whereas

MAN IS A COVERED-ENTRANCE TO INFINITY

Contemporary man presumes his life to begin,
come to an end, with his body. His intelligence ~~To~~ be
manufactured by the brain; he being unaware of the currents
in cosmic power conveying to man his apparent esse; unaware
of the brain being merely an instrument of reception and
transmission.

Seemingly this psychic system of scientific
investigation, tending toward total depreciation of the
tangible universe, being too acutely specialized for working
out the dual abstract-concrete imperative of our intended
evolution short-circuited - - -

A strange inertia settled upon the Orient. Exercises
of Spirit sat, incessantly asleep, in public places, their
finger-nails growing through the palm of their hands.

To the earliest disciples, the mystic system
proved often communicable. But all systems of spiritual
exercise come to a crisis incurring decrease of comprehension.
The snap-back of human consciousness from the take-off of
inspiration: the *stretch* of consciousness into the imperceptible

universe still depending, to some degree on the con-
temporary stage of evolution in the concrete world.

Later students misinterpreted the scientific-mystic
teaching as an exhortation to make the mind a blank; to
immobilize the flesh.

Books of mystic instruction, written in code
conveyed nothing of their real significance to the un-
initiated. Held by the purist to be supremely authentic,
one, apparently an account of many battles, precisely
and reiteratively enumerating the hordes of warriors en-
gaged, had the trick of turning into a mathematical treatise
on the control and alternation of rates of vibration involved
in various psychic operations. At which point in perusal
the students cranium _seemed_ to open up, very like a certain
Picasso cubist head, for abstract instruction to pour into
it. Not oral. Communicated thought. Not the student's
thought.
GOD

The thought of DIRECTIVE INTELLIGENCE Religion's VOICE OF GOD

While modern science successfully harnesses intangible
phenomena in induced from invisible Universe, the layman
unquestioningly accepts the astounding results. Presented
with any claim of mystic science his faith immediately reverses.
He behaves as if he had never even _heard_ of anything but solids..

12

His 'keep-off-the-grass-of-the-infinite' is
self-protective - - - the brain is cautious.

The mystic, in contemplation received lightning
impressions of the inconceivable - - - as of the universe
timeless, dimensionless, 'turning inside out' in process
of creative revelation - - - passing during the eternal
moment through itself - - - identifying the microcosmic
with the maerocosmic in the energy of the atom,

The absolute momentum causative pulse of Life, of
Breath, of procreation - - - construed for him by conscious
magnitudes, living equations.

The Brain is cautious - - -

The characteristic result of encroachment on the
frontier dividing the abstract from the concrete being ex-
plosion. Even as the modern scientific extraction of force
from Power produces explosion, cerebral encroachment may
cause explosion in the mind. inasmuch as the mind is not
kept tensile. Restricting speculation as to the larger
resources of existence with the irreflective assumption that
the evolution of man is completed; whereas he should measure
his mental capacity in conformation to his travel of tran-
sition since, sequent to chaos, a minuscule incipience of
life first quivered in an ocean. He does not keep in

EROS

Human emotion is become excessively confused
owing to the scission of sex from religion.

<u>Sex</u> presented to the purity of youth as at
once beatitude and secret filth

<u>Religion</u>, as sole security and total prohibition

<u>Sex!</u> This word, at last, so overflows with mis-
associations. To clarify its future significance, sex must
be renamed. Meanwhile, for 'sex' let us substitute <u>Eros</u>.
Somehow the sound of the Greek cupid survives unsullied; un-
like longer words derived from it.

Eros became identified with 'Sin' when the uninitiated
misconstrued the asceticism of ancient Asia's students of
psychic science; mistook an <u>automatic transmutation of virility</u>
for drastic mortification of the flesh, thus dragging a
metaphysical dis-"connection" into the domain of physical
interchange - - - repression.

The oriental quarrel with 'Desire' coincides with
the incipience of Exoteric Religion.

Exoteric religion originated in a fusion of
ancient seers' determination to mystify such as might degrade
the psychic technique to destructive demonstrations -- origin
of Black magic, and the 'outsiders' <u>own</u> misinterpretation of
religions dicta.

15

Any disciple, by nature unadaptable to trans-
formation of his auto-electric potency, could, as anyone
to-day, simply not imagine what that would be like.

In trying to make it out, he substituted the
mutilation of impulse for the transformation of impulse.
Incapable of purely mental relaxation he strained against
a biologic process. How could he understand 'having no
desire' to mean 'desire vanished of itself.'

To this is due religion's war against the flesh.
It may seem to the layman, that perhaps, according to atomic
physics, there is no actual flesh.

A true mystic genius would never have snubbed the
Creator with derogation of 'the Flesh' -- for also our
desires, not of our own contriving, are from the Creator
broadcast to us -- He had merely ceased to function within
range of our desiderata. He would have no more imposed
chastity on the common man than would Bach have forbidden
him to play the concertina.

Rather, the ancient must have understood the
electric incitement of Eros --

"They twain shall be one flesh" described the
sense of a tangible bond, a vibrational co-identify of perfectly
married people, as if the Eros union hequeathed to them a

*
The esoteric 'career' of chastity was aimless, save for those
having what the Church still alludes to as "the Vocation."

16

continuous reciprocal radiation that distance does not disrupt.

"Whom God hath joined together let no man put asunder," undeniably confirms the derivation of Eros from the divine abstraction, delimiting the self in the peace of participation, of being no longer contactless in a mysterious universe.

The 'man of flesh' phrase in evolution is giving way to the 'man of electric vitality' largely through the accelerated life-tempo characteristic of the United States.

His manner of being in a state of transition, with Eros most evidently involved.

Due to this evolutional transition, for the modern human the merely fleshly approach to Eros becomes inconclusive.

The approach to Eros of the future subordinates mere flesh to vibrational co-ordination promoting release of the intrinsic electrification inducing Eros-Bliss.

A co-ordination imposing on the individual, as in psychic science, self-control, inversely to the bursting (again explosive) excitement induced by the filth-bliss confusion of the sin-centuries.

It is no longer a sub-rosa rumour that numerous devotees of Eros -- at present are disappointed.

How mysterious his own potentials remain to man. Adolescents are motivated by an ardent anticipation of Eros, while intellect is unaware of the sensate manifestation

17

towards which their ebullience urges them, for when
successfully experienced it overly surprises with the
realisation that one, in his ordinary state of consciousness,
could never imagine, or even subsequently, evoke.

Between the brain and the spirit lies some
intermediary sentience receiving the broadcast of our
instincts.

18

ELECTRIC EROS

Even as there exist scaled approximations in the
universe, such as a once-assumed structural similarity
of astronomic constellations to the invisible atom, so,
comparable to the mystic's electrical suffusion by the in-
finite elan, Eros is also an electric release (The 'Flesh'
again, like the terrain, an instrument). Safety valve for an
electro-neural system in its stress of sensitizing the human
organism. Eros recharges the electric battery of the
nervous system.

Further similitude to mystic principle: the
release of Eros is the closing of the circle of all
emotions fused to one emotion in instantaneous consummation.
A flash of attainment to infinite sentience, resulting in
perfect relaxation. Replica in reduction of the mystic's
ecstasy in illumination.

Connective likeness of mystic electrics to the
electric charge of Eros was either suppressed or forgotten.

The serpent in Eden is symbol of the extreme
imposture - - -

The substitution of 'sex-morality' for humane
morality.

Compare the demoniacal tortures inflicted on
sentient human beings all through the ages, in the guise of
religious correction, to the w·ultimate doings of two fair

19

adolescents coerced by the glow of the moon -- search diligently for any wrong they have wrought upon their *fellows*; yet not long more than a century since Religion stuffed them each into a barrel lined with excruciating points of nails, and rolled them, sanctimoniously down-hill to death.

IMMORALITY CONSISTS IN CRUELTY --- CRUELTY, ENFORCED MORALITY.

IT HAS BEEN THE PRETENSE OF

The explanation of this anomaly reverts to the risk of 'explosion' on the frontiers dividing the secret from the overt realities.

Eros is the one transmission from the power universe to cross those frontiers unmodified -- metaphysically intact, yet available to sensate experience.

Even as esoteric religion, esoteric Eros exploded in the human mind, leaving a debris of sadism to infiltrate religious institutions.

Originally erected around a prop of sublime significance, such institutions, the prop long since, through misinterpretation, withdrawn from them, are become meaningless; as though a spurious agitation had been 'touched off' on the disappearance of a serene reality.

In apology for this loss of power -- comprehension (through our spiritual disability, was camouflaged in the scapegoat personification of Satan, changing all God's benefits to man, to menaces).

20

CONFUSION OF SATAN WITH EROS

The channels of discord coursing alongside
the avenues of Eros, an anomaly challenging our aspiration
to purity to ignore (Purity - consciousness concerned only
with the beautiful outcome of functional life) disintegrated
human psychology with the filth complex — — sanitative for
the aboriginal — but with the coming of modern plumbing
the Kingdom of Satan is submerged.

Freud, training a bright light of analysis on such
psychological terrain, illuminated all but a blind spot,
THE ELECTRIFICATION OF BLISS — that terrain exploited by
his followers, is become an infinitely extensible able-maze
of introversion in search of Eros — the little man who
isn't there — — — —

Freud is unnecessary to the future. His utile
achievement lay in his solution of the problem "To mention
or not to mention." By making it, aided by the scientific
aegis — — fashionably polite to mention. Clearing a way
out for inhibition.*
