Teachers, Schools And Sirens
You may be fortunate enough, for example, to come across a genuine
teacher, most likely in an entirely unexpected form, who can escort you much
further on the path. The absolute necessity of personal face-to-face
communication spoken from mouth-to-ear in left-hand path initiation – in
contrast to written transmission – has already been made clear. The following
342
aspects of left-hand path initiation can only be learned in person from one has
already experienced and mastered them. Just as no book can convey these
somatically-based objective facets of the sinister current, it is also absurd to
suppose that internet mailing lists, websites or instruction via email can
transmit digital initiation. As you may have surmised from the previous
sections of this guide, some of the basic techniques that only a physical
teacher can communicate to you arc:
• Reliable ability to reach heightened states of consciousness
• Discovery and manipulation of the subtle and causal bodies (by whatever
names you choose to call them) within the physical vessel, including out-ofbody
experiences
• Arousal of Kundalini
• Mastery of breath control
• Control of the inner optic faculties, allowing for sustained visualization
• Vocal control and the realm of sonic magic, including proper enunciation
of mantras and other vocal techniques
• Physical posture, flexibility and stamina of the body, inner and outer
muscle control, including strengthening of the perineum and genitals
necessary for sexual magic
• Techniques of prolonging and sustaining orgasm as a means of
consciousness alteration
• Stilling of extraneous thought at will, for purposes of attaining deep
psychic focus and transcending verbally based thought processes
It may well be that you will require the assistance of several different
teachers to acquire all of these skills, which will invariably necessitate
accepting those aspects of a teaching that are personally useful, while
consciously rejecting what is superfluous to your objectives. Augmenting
these skills by learning any concentrated physical discipline, such as martial
arts, dance, or yoga can only be an advantage for the sex magician. These
systems of cultivation will center your body, the primary tool of the sinister
current, bridging the illusory break between mind and body encouraged by
our overly cerebral and verbal culture.
It's very likely that you will undergo the bitter but often necessary
learning experience of being led astray by any number of false teachers. As
with any esoteric discipline, there is no limit to the amount of would-be
teachers and gurus who will gladly volunteer to personally initiate you into
the mysteries of sex magic with private lessons. These magnanimous offers
dramatically increase based on your attractiveness, youth and naiveté.
Wouldn't such a helpful person be the ideal sex-magical ally? All things
considered ... not necessarily. The extreme potential for exploitation and self-
343
delusion that any teacher/student power dynamic potentially provides
becomes even more intensified once sex magic comes into the picture.
In all erotic interactions, the untrained will tend to project subjective
overlays upon their partners. These projections can be deliberately utilized
during sexual magic for sorcerous or initiatory objectives. When the partner
is ostensibly one's spiritual teacher, one can easily fall prey to unconscious
imaginings that cloud the actual nature of the supposed teacher, idealizing or
vilifying him or her according to circumstance. A legitimate teacher will
know how to work around these projections, but an unscrupulous charlatan
will manipulate them to his or her advantage. That being said, a teacher can
