Taurus (Krumm-Heller)

 With the practices of the previous letter, we have acted upon the foundation, the Light. This was necessary, because the Light is what is paramount.

In the space between the Pineal and the Pituitary Glands, between the center of feeling and the nervous center; there is something invisible, an astral gland, ENTIRELY MADE OF LIGHT, as was indicated in the first practice.

We have indicated this abstractly, now we are being more concrete. We would get nothing (for the time being) by acting upon the Pineal Gland, unless we also open the way through the neck.

Now in the neck, the region of Taurus- Venus, there is the Thyroid gland which is a second Pineal gland.        

As we shall see later in the Epithelial Bodies (Parathyroid glands), the Pituitary repeats itself. The Thyroid produces iodine, and iodine destroys everything bad. With it we will open up a passageway through the neck.

Venus dominate» the ears, the nose, the tongue. the sexual organs and the kidneys. In Alchemy, Venus is represented by sulfur and in the metal copper. This metal resides in the milk of women and in certain milky secretions of all bodies, both masculine and feminine.

Venus acts in Taurus and Libra, and with the (corresponding) exercises we act in order to encourage the production of this secretion. Taurus is receptive, it represents the place where one can sow, and the neck is a kind of nursery for the whole organism.

In many secret societies, there are signs that are made upon the neck because the neck holds a kind of spiritual uterus, since in it is also the cradle of manifested language. In the previous practice we concentrated on the eyes, the nose and the mouth, and finally on the center of language.

Today we use language to open this passageway.

Practice:

Let us say “Aaaaaaaaaa” quickly, not slowly as it is generally done by normal exhalation. Let us also simultaneously imagine/pray:

“Come outer Light of the cosmos and unite what we have in the brain proceeding to the neck“

And then pronounce:”Uuuuuuuuuu”, while imagining the light purifying and burning the impurities away.

Let us close with vocalizing “Mmmmmmmmm” and let us think about our mantram AMEN, “so be it”, to produce things with the word AUM.

Let us do all this without exerting ourselves, more with the mind than anything else.  In the following courses we will proceed down the rest of the body.
