786. . .Sufism and Tantra
786…sufism is an ocean, only the sincere seeker should seek the pearl at the bottom of the ocean. You have asked some good questions. Sufism is the esoteric science of Self-realization in the Islamic context. Sufism is the science of removing the illusion of separation between man and God. The journey of the sufi can not be told in words, the journey takes place in the heart. The sufi has the true science of soul purification. There are 7 levels of the nafs (soul). When the seven levels have been purified a marriage between the soul and the spirit takes place. When this mystical union has been reached, man and Allah are one. Allah has said ” I become the eyes he sees with, the ears he hears with, the mouth he speaks with, the hands he grasps with, the feet he walks with.” in the Holy Quran Allah has said “he indeed succeeds who purifies it.” the sufis have said that “it” refers to the soul/heart
a student has asked a question about tantra………..
Oh wise Sufi saint, how can a loving relationship between a man and woman be comparable to that of the love of the divine and is it possible that a love relationship like that can benefit all existence?
You have asked an important question man and woman are symbols of the duality that is found in the principle of the Divine. Man and woman are outward manifestations of the polarization of the Divine Light that is transcendent, beyond the planes of duality. Allah says in the Quran “I created creation in pairs.” when man and woman join together, through the union of Love, this represent Allah, knowing Himself, through the union of opposites. The sufis have said, Allah is known through HER opposites. Allah is the First, Last, Hidden, Manifest, Giver of Live, Bringer of Death. What appears to be opposites are in fact ONE Reality. This reality, when seen from the viewpoint of the mind has duality. this One Being can only Be ONE. When man and woman UNITE, this is the secret of tantra, the union of the male and female principle to manifest the DIVINE…this can benefit all existence because each person is a complete manifestation of the ALL…

786…The Divine Mother, Divine Feminine, & Union of opposites
The Divine Mother
last night eye had a talk with the Divine Mother
believe it or not
SHE was older than God
It was as if eye was talking to my great grandmother
We sat at the kitchen table
Drank tea
And had a heart to heart talk
Eye asked Her
How did eye become God?
She said
U ate the name of God
And became God
Last night eye had a talk with the Divine Mother
She was older than God…..
Divine Feminine
Female Divinity is often times over looked. If the woman is not God, then no man is God!!! In the Hindu and Buddhist traditions the Divine Feminine is well represented. My master Cheikh Betchio once said “the secret of Allah is inside of the woman.” My mother was God. When eye started studying the 5% lessons years ago, eye came home and said “mom I AM God.” She said “I know that, just don’t let it go to your ego.”
EGO= ease God out.
From my studies of female Divinity, eye found it best explained in the worship of Shiva and Shakti. The Divine female consort of Lord Shiva is Shakti. Shiva represents the power of God that is transcendent, beyond this universe. When this power becomes active and creates the universe, that power/energy is feminine, and is called Shakti. The creative power of God is a feminine energy. An analogy to explain this is: Shiva is like an ocean of power that is motionless. When that power/ocean takes motion, the waves from the ocean are called Shakti. Thus God is still and motionless. When God takes action, that action is feminine, and is called Shakti
Union of opposites
The sufi path is a journey that takes place on the plane of the soul. The entire journey is a journey of soul transformation. In Arabic the word for soul is (nafs). The word nafs in arabic is feminine. So the sufi journey is of a feminine nature. The spirit in Arabic is called (ruh). Ruh in Arabic is a masculine word. The soul plane nafs is feminine. The spirit plane ruh is masculine. The prophet Muhammad said that “marriage is half of Islam.” This statement has a profound esoteric meaning for the sufi. The goal of the sufi is to reach a unified internal state where the (soul-nafs- feminine) is married to the (ruh-spirit-masculine).
In the ancient Egyptian book of the Dead it says “when the Ka(soul) is united with the Ba(spirit) man and God are ONE!!!
In Islam the outward representation of the unification of the Divine masculine(spirit) and feminine(soul) principals is the KABA in Mecca. The kaba of man is the heart. In essence, the Self realization of God, marriage of the soul and spirit, takes place in the Heart. Love and Light—sufi

786 Mystic Lessons in Love- part 2
From beyond the world of Duality LOVE reigns supreme.
The second Mystic Lesson in Love is “One becomes two.” Knowing Love, the mystic knows ALL. Not knowing Love, the heart becomes a barren waste land for the weeds of despair, grief, and ignorance. God has said “Eye was a hidden treasure that wanted to be Known, Eye created this world so that Eye might be Known.” God-Love is the Creator of All. Love in its essence wanted to be known. Love(1) manifested itself from beyond the world of duality, creating 2 (lover and Beloved) from its lofty essence. Thus “1 became 2.” Beyond this plane of existence there is only ONENESS. From this side of existence the mind creates the illusion of a since of duality(2). From the view point of Love only Oneness is seen. The Ocean only sees the Ocean. It…

786… Sacred Sex-Tantra
In the ancient Egyptian book of the Dead it says “when the Ka(soul-masculine) is united with the Ba(spirit-feminine) man and God are ONE!! Sex in and of itself is a sacred act. some would venture to say, when used in its proper context, it is one of the highest acts of worship. Sex in the west has been given a negative image. in eastern cultures this is not the case. in Egyptian, Hindu and Buddhist Temples you often see images of the Deities in sexual embrace with their divine consort. in islamic mystical doctrines it is said that before the creation of the universe Allah polarized His light producing two lights. the light of Jamal(beauty) which was of a feminine nature, and the light of Jalal(majesty) which was of a masculine nature. these two lights made love in the heavens giving birth to the Light of our beloved prophet Muhammad(peace be upon HIm). the Light of Muhammad took the form of a peacock and landed on the tree of Being(kaballah-tree of life). it was from the Light of Muhammad that the universe was created.
loving you eye
lost all since of self
heart to heart
soul to spirit
eye
burned in the fire of love
producing an eternal elixir
embraced by trancedental bliss
eye diappeard
all that remained
was
GOD—-sufi
Sacred Sex is often called tantra. In Hindu and Buddhist traditions there are many levels and forms of tantra. one of these forms is called Highest Yoga Tantra. the two main divisions of sacred sex-tantra are called the right hand(white) and left hand(red) paths of tantra. Right hand sacred sex-tantra deals with the philosophical doctrines of merging the yin-yang, masculine-feminine energies inside the practitioner without the use of outward sex. these principles should-must also be studied and mastered before entering into the jade palace of left hand-red tantra. red tantra evolves sacred sex between two partners. during red tantra, there are three main techniques that are employed: creative visualization, pranayama( breathing techniques), and mantra(sacred word power). these 3 techniques put together, and practiced over time, can produce an internal orgasm and ultimately oneness with GOD!
In Islam the outward representation of the unification of the Divine masculine(spirit) and feminine(soul) principals is the KABA in Mecca. The kaba of man is the heart. In essence, the Self realization of God, marriage of the soul and spirit, takes place in the Heart. The sufi path is a journey that takes place on the plane of the soul. The entire journey is a journey of soul transformation. In Arabic the word for soul is (nafs). The word nafs in arabic is feminine. the sufi journey is of a feminine nature. The spirit in Arabic is called (ruh). Ruh in Arabic is a masculine word. The soul plane nafs is feminine. The spirit plane ruh is masculine. The prophet Muhammad said that “marriage is half of Islam.” This statement has a profound esoteric meaning for the sufi. The goal of the sufi is to reach a unified internal state where the (soul-nafs- feminine) is married to the (ruh-spirit-masculine). In sacred sex, a union takes place between the female principal(soul- woman), and the male principal(spirit-man). during sacred sex, the two lovers lose their false since of self(i-ego) and merge into ONENESS with GOD.
