Bodily fluids in “religious” practices … This was shadow banned even from my own eyes - so much for free speech. Yes, this is gross but it is their practice and it’s written in a scholarly manner. “The method favored by Crowley, nevertheless, also has its parallels in Tantra. In his erudite study of Indian esoteric Buddhism, for example, Ronald Davidson describes a practice of tantric sexual ritual as follows: "The secret consecration involved the disciple bringing a female sexual partner (prajña/ mudra/ vidya) to the master, who copulated with her; the combination of ejaculated fluids, termed the 'thought of awakening' (bodhicitta), was then ingested by the disciple as nectar." Two elements of this account correspond with Crowley's practice: the actual ejaculation of the seed and the consummation of the mixed sexual fluids. On the theoretical level, there is a correspondence in viewing the sexual emissions as ambrosial. The necessity of mingling sexual fluids is also occasionally noted among the Näth yogis. As George Weston Briggs explains, "Within the yonisthana [vagina] there is union of bindu [semen] and rajas [menstrual blood]. Adepts, it is claimed, are able to [effect the return of the semen] ... even drawing up after the act of coition both rajas and bindu. This is essential to the highest bliss." The sex act involving the emission of the male seed and its mingling with menstrual blood, followed by the ingestion of the resulting mixture, is 💥also observed among the Kartabhajas and the Bauls of Bengal. In his comments on the transgressive elements in the early medieval Buddhist Cakrasamvara Tantra, which call for the consumption of unclean food and irregular sexual practices, David Gray states that: “[o]ne of the primary purposes of this feasting and sexual activity, euphemistically referred to as 'non-dual hero worship, is the gathering and consumption of the mixed sexual fluids, semen and uterine blood." Hugh Urban and David Gordon White have also suggested that the practice involving male ejaculation and the ingestion of sexual fluids represents a genuine and in fact older tantric tradition, eventually replaced by the custom of seminal retention. _______ These examples reinforce the similarity between Crowley's and tantric methods. Arguably, the rationale behind the practice of the ingestion of sexual fluids for magico-religious reasons rests on a meaningful foundation. At the most obvious level, the semen and vaginal secretions form the basis of human life. The sense of their importance is observable in numerous taboos that surround methods of dealing with these substances in various cultural traditions. In Hindu Tantra, the semen is habitually homologized with the god Siva, and the menstrual blood with his divine spouse, Sakti. Thus we read in a Näth yogic text: “Semen is Siva, menstrual blood is Sakti; semen is the Moon, menstrual blood the Sun. The highest station is obtained only by joining them together. Semen is associated with the Moon, and menstrual blood is associated with the Sun. The person who knows that they are of equal essence is the knower of Yoga.” In tantric Buddhism, the semen is often associated with the "thought of awakening" (bodhicitta). The Buddha describes his esoteric nature in the Hevajra-Tantra in strong language: "I dwell in the Sukhavati [Land of Bliss, of the woman's vagina in the name of semen." The Bauls and the Kartäbhajãs of Bengal also teach similar doctrines. A recurrent motif of Indian spiritual traditions associates semen with the elixir of immortality, amrta,mor with the divine liquor, the soma. Shashibhushan Dasgupta draws attention to the parallel between the yogic practice of drinking the nectar and the Vedic soma sacrifice, which "rejuvenates and invigorates the body and gives the drinker, whether god or man, eternal life in heaven or earth." Crowley also taught that "Vindu [i.e., bindu, semen] is identified with Amrita, which according to him "has a will of its own, which is more in accordance with the Cosmic Will, than that of the man who is its guardian and servant." In a similar vein, he describes the effect of partaking of what he calls the Eucharist-which is a veiled term for the consumption of sexual fluidsol—as consisting of the deification of the practitioner: “The Magician becomes filled with god, fed upon god, intoxicated with god. Little by little his body will become purified by the internal lustration of God; day by day his mortal frame, shedding its earthly elements, will become in very truth the “Temple of the Holy Ghost”. Day by day the matter is replaced by spirit, the human by the divine; ultimately the change will be complete: god manifest in flesh will be his name.”” https://51mb8a2he5.zlib-cdn.com/dl2.php?id=166710783&h=991da488f3a40a09df7c57e2e3043196&u=cache&ext=pdf&n=India
