Mutagodurjism

Mutagodurjism: Transmuting lead into gold via alchemical theurgy. The practice of injectulation in tantra, prolonging orgasm by not ejaculating but imaginally drawing the sexual juices up through the spine to raise consciousness into the divine union of wo/man with spirit.

With all this talk of the religion that is not a religion the ancient practice of theurgy (god working) has always been about this transmutation, taking the lead of our animal self and turning into the gold of a sacred marriage with our higher self. Not rejecting our embodied nature but marrying it with our abstract nature via magical metaphor. Whathefuckhora.

 

One way of doing this in wesoterica is via the Major Arcana of tarot. It shows that alchemical process. But in its original and metaphysical interpretation it starts with spirit which then involves into matter. The journey then becomes the evolution back to spirit.

 

Whereas a more naturalistic, postmetaphysical interpretation is that both matter and spirit have always been mutually entailed, than involution and evolution are co-enacted from the start in the generative space/time of khora. Spirit is not the creator god above over body below. It's more that we become alienated from the sacred marriage through metaphysical dichotomy which must be regained via theurjic practice. It's a similar idea in tantric practice, that it's our obstructions which prevent seeing our original face.

 

Again, I'm just giving this a new name, mutagodurjism, to indicate that transmutation from using traditional names which tend to keep new wine in old wine-skins, thus souring it. Our names for things, itself a magickal, metaphorical process, must also indicate that transmutation.

 

Viva la différance.

 

Much like I tweaked the word metamodernism into mutagodurjism, I did the same previously with hier(an)archical synplexity from hierarchical complexity. In my short introduction to the latter I described the tensegrity involved in tai ji quan, my earlier Taoist alchemical training. It's what I mean by mutual entailment above. (Also see the longer explanation in this video.) Quote:

 

According to the Tai Chi Classics (Barlow, 2020) one can "use four ounces to deflecta thousand pounds." To do this one must "distinguish clearly between substantial and insubstantial." Both are accomplished via compression and leverage, both within one's body and by applying them to another body. Compression and leverage are accomplished by maintaining 4 ounces of resistance or pressure between complements at all times and through all changes. Without this resistance our biomagnetic and biomechanical energy does not flow with enough force to move much of anything, much less a thousand pounds.This is also critical in partner dance connection/communication.

 

For example, the fundamental premise of same-difference and connection-separation exemplifies the relation between any 'two.' This could relate not just a philosophical axiom but practically to one person or two people (or more). In practicing tai chi alone one is always playing with this ever-changing 'balance' between active and passive parts of their body-mind, or substantial and insubstantial. And there are several of these balances going on at the same space-time, like between the two hands,the two feet, the head and feet, the front and back, etc. These complimentary parts are connected yet "clearly distinguished."

 

Where the resistance or pressure comes in is in the dynamic tension between them. Note the preposition 'between.' It is what glues them together yet also keeps them apart like a generative (en)closure (Alderman, 2013). I.e, they are adjacent, not one and not two, at least not exactly (Pascal, 2013). This 4 ounces of resistance is strongly akin to any permeable boundary that is both open and closed, that not only separates one from another but also allows connection and communication with another. Hence the practice can also been done with another(s), which experience of working with another feeds back to working with oneself and vice versa. The ongoing training requires both. Hence this practice is also a non-dual, embodied syntegrity.
