\nMan is directly a natural being. As a natural being and as a living natural being he is on the one hand endowed with natural powers, vital powers — he is an active natural being. These forces exist in him as tendencies and abilities — as instincts. On the other hand, as a natural, corporeal, sensuous objective being he is a suffering, conditioned and limited creature, like animals and plants. That is to say, the objects of his instincts exist outside him, as objects independent of him; yet these objects are objects that he needs — essential objects, indispensable to the manifestation and confirmation of his essential powers. ~ Karl Marx<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sexual behavior is a complex of chemotropism, or automatic reactions evoked by chemical stimuli in the bloodstream\u2026 Sex in its ordinary manifestations among civilized human beings is not the product of natural instinct that is generally supposed to be but is a chemotropism evoked or conditioned reflex (in Pavlov’s sense) evoked in response to aphrodisiacal stimulation by foods and beverages, especially animal proteins, alcohol, coffee, and also tobacco. This tropistic reaction, in both its physical and psychical aspects, is subject to voluntary control through diet, an alkaline-forming, low-protein vegetable diet reducing it, while an acid-forming high-protein meat diet increases it. ~ Raymond W. Bernard<\/strong>, Nutritional Sex Control and Rejuvenation<\/em><\/p>\n

All actions of the animal (including human) organism are determined by external and internal or hormonal stimuli, and the concept of purposiveness in behavior and free will must be completely discarded and replaced by one of automatic reactions in terms of quantitative laws of mechanical causation. ~ Jacques Loeb<\/strong>, Forced Movements, Tropisms, and Animal Conduct<\/em><\/p>\n

From its first moment, we can say that the \u201cI\u201d still lives only as if in a dream: it is not yet a self-consciousness, nor an autonomous principle of action: immersed in an immediate, indistinct coalescence with nature and the world, we can say that it is not so much he who thinks, speaks, and asserts himself, but rather that various forces and impulses think, speak and assert themselves in him. He therefore is only a type of medium, a passive instrument that has his very life outside himself, and he experiences everything as grace, as spontaneity, as the immediate self-manifestation of something that transcends him. ~ Julius Evola<\/strong><\/p>\n

Logic can descend even further. When this happens, human beings are beginning to use a type of logic that is directed from the subterranean spheres. This may even be an irrefutable logic and may have an enormously convincing effect \u2026 Then, one no longer thinks independently, but Ahriman is thinking through that person. ~ Valentin Tomberg<\/strong>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Recently, I was interviewed by a team of Martian scientists and metaphysicians who were studying human life on earth. They were curious about the objects we\u2019ve been sending to their planet; in particular, they wondered why we didn\u2019t just use astral travel. You see, the Martians never went through the process of solidification experienced by earth humans. Thus they are able to see the \u201cinner\u201d nature, or essence, of things. That they regard as much more important than phenomena and mere appearances. They can discern the inner states of conscious beings through a process they call \u201cexternal considering\u201d.<\/p>\n

They explained that metaphysical principles are true always and everywhere and that gave us somewhat of a common language. I discussed certain texts like the Tao Te Ching, the Vedas, Medieval philosophy, and so on. They listened with interest but then conceded that, although they were \u201cin the ballpark\u201d, they were still quite primitive. Nevertheless, they prepared their final report using the terminology I had given them. Since it provides some suggestions for mystical evolution, there may be some value in it. It has the advantage of providing and objective evaluation of the human condition<\/p>\n

I have no hard or electronic copy, but they gave me permission to publish the main points of their report from the Akashic record. Those texts will be marked with a green vertical line.<\/p>\n

\nBecause of the solidification of their world, the earthlings have grave difficulties with metaphysical concepts. Their thought patterns are stuck on discursive thought and direct intuition does not come easily. Actually, it almost always depends on sense experiences first followed by a difficult climb to grasp the essence. Hence, they tend to see timeless and spaceless concepts as mere extensions of phenomena. They then misunderstand their myths and symbols as referring to physical events.<\/p>\n

With all that in mind, this initial report will focus on the earthlings as biological beings. Like many other beings in the galaxy, their physical organism is DNA-based. Although their biologists have made some progress in analyzing DNA, they have not advanced at all from the ancient texts in understanding the interiority of their being. This creates inner conflict. Therefore, we have provided some suggestions to match their inner and outer natures and have encouraged our human contact to disseminate this material widely.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

General Law<\/h2>\n

The Macrocosm is the same everywhere; that is why the Martian experience is of value to us. What they reported next sounds very similar to ideas from the Hermetic revival of last century in figures like Evola, Mouravieff, and Tomberg. They would neither confirm nor deny any prior communication with those earthmen. As Rene Guenon points out, Life is one of the essential elements of the manifest universe. Hence, certain life issues arise in all life forms. The report continues:<\/p>\n

\nIn the universal phenomena of life, there are three infra-rational factors that maintain the existence of life. In their teachings, these factors are related to what they call chakras:<\/p>\n
