Kritik am Buch „The Shadow Of The Dalai Lama ... - Neues von Shi De

fertilizes her, the bees murder the drones, the fearsome mother wears the organ of generation tied
around her neck. Everything female devours, every mare, mother, goddess, or woman. In one way or
another the man is consumed” (Serrano, 1982, p. 13).
It is thus a matter of life and death. Ultimately, according to Serrano the “killing” of the external
woman (the karma mudra) is therefore necessary, so that the inner woman (the maha mudra) can be
formed. The author does not shrink from discussing the “tantric female sacrifice” directly: “Only
those who are able to love the woman so much [!] that they externally kill her [!] in order to make
possible her inner rebirth will find the immortal city of Agarthi (or Shambhala)” (Serrano, 1982, p.
13).[10] For an uninformed reader hidden, but obvious to one who knows the logic of Tantrism, a
tantric female murder is described in both of his initiatory writings, EL/ELLA [HE/SHE] and NOS
[WE].
In a love scene from EL/ELL,A a young woman expires in Serrano’s arms in order to then re-emerge
within him as an inner maha mudra. He bends over her, strokes her hair and kisses her bloody lips:
“They tasted like bitter honey, and he swallowed a little of her blood” Then he suddenly sees the
stigmata: “Strangely, it [the blood] was only on her feet and the palms of her hands as if she had been
crucified. 'Here!', she said. She indicated her side, at breast level. A white line seemed to run through
it, like a spear wound” (Serrano, 1982, pp. 72-73). The references to the sacrifice of Christ are
obvious, indeed they seem quite blatant. “When I die,” the woman then says, “you will bear me
within you; I will be you, live in you ... You have drunk my blood, and we are now two siblings. My
character is already being transferred into your blood ... If god will, I shall love you even more when
I am dead. ... I have to die that you may live” (Serrano, 1982, pp. 73-74). With this she fulfills the
wise saying of Serrano’s master: “The decay of the one [the woman] is the purification of the other
[the man]" (Serrano, 1982, p. 93). “The absolute woman”, he says at another point, “can sleep or she
can die, which is the same thing” (Serrano, 1987, p. 289).
Written in a fantasy manner, the book NOS — Book of the Resurrection also depicts a tantric female
sacrifice. The heroine of this “hermetic biography” is called Allouine, the main hero is admittedly
Serrano. Additionally, various “tantric” masters crop up. Among them are, unmistakably, C.G. Jung,
Hermann Hesse, and the American poet Ezra Pound. The contents of the book depict the voluntary
self-sacrifice of Allouine, her interiorization as a maha mudra by the author (Serrano), and the latter’
achievement of immortality through the absorption of gynergy. “The woman dies. She is dead. She
must die. ... She is the warrior’s [the yogi’s] companion, existing only in his mind, in his
spirit” (Serrano, 1984, p. 11), Serrano instructs us once more. “She [the woman] becomes interiorized
in you through her death, she inspires you”, one of his masters explains to him and in another passage
continues: “The secret path of yoga along which you are traveling is only for the warrior, for the
initiated hero. It is not the path for the woman; because a woman has no chakras, no kundalini to
awaken. ... A woman is the Kundalini. A woman has no soul. She is the soul. A woman has no
eternity. She is eternity” (Serrano, 1984, pp. 102, 147).
Serrano stages a tantric séance with Allouine, in which they both consume the five forbidden foods.
Then he drinks “the liquor of orgasm ... the heavenly Soma, an spirit of secret wine ... which is now
only to be found in the river of your blood” (Serrano, 1984, p. 112). We know that he is talking about
the sukra, the mixture of male and female seed, of menstrual blood and sperm. This magic potion
grants the Tantric immortality. In NOS too the author longs for the blood of his lover like a vampire
and goes into raptures if he detects it on his lips. After he has washed the dying Allouine, he kisses
