I saw this video clip and thought it would be a good segway into discussion about sex in Heaven -- specifically the "72 Virgins" enjoyed by Islamic martyrs. If you're dead and non-corporeal, then what's the point of having sex in the afterlife? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought sex was primarily for procreation. Why is it important that "virgins" exist in Heaven to serve their "masters"?
Anyway, check out the comic video and let us know what you think.

Sex in Heaven ???
Kundalini
...Normally, the Hindu yogi sits in the style of Buddha, cross-legged, and the yogini sits on his legs with her legs encircling the yogi's body and crossed behind him. Then they connect sexually, with the pair withdrawing before orgasm to avoid seminal ejaculation.
During the middle Ages, many Gnostics practiced the Maithuna with Vestal virgins, calling this marvelous practice Virgine Subintroductis (Sexual Magic). This was practiced in the form of Karezza, with the vestals retaining their virginity. This was an excellent practice...
This reminds us of the 72 Names of God of Kabbalah
The positive Shemhamphorash is related to the mathematic code within the Holy Tetragrammaton:
Yod
He
Vau
He
This name has 72 applications or mathematical combinations.
Yod : 10
Yod He: 10+5=15
Yod He Vau: 10+5+6=21
Yod He Vau He: 10+5+6+5=26
10+15+21+26=72
72 is 9, that is where the Tetragrammaton is active within us.
The negative Shemhamphorash is related to the 72 antitheses of these "Names of God". They can be found in a particular grimoire that is very famous and totally negative. It is called one of the Lesser Keys of Solomon, but truly it is nothing but a book of black magic that will lead even the most experienced practitioner into the snare of the abyss. Also, the so-called sixth and seventh books of Moses (which were in no way written by Moses) have the negative Shemhamphorash and it's black application. Those books are nothing but handbooks of voodoo for those that are impressed by the immediate magical effects of simple black magic.
Matthew 22:30
At the Resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will live like the angels in heaven . . .

So, in Jesus' view, was marriage a pre-requisite for sex? Will it be at the resurrrection?
We quote. You decide.

That's odd, I figured it means what it says.

Most of the capitalized nouns in your post don't ever appear in the Hebrew and Greek Testaments. (androgynous is an adjective, but it's not in the text, either; unless you'd count the reference to "arsenokoitai," whom Paul mentions as being excluded from the resurrection.)
Hmmm. Resurrrected Masters, Alchemy, Tantra. Nope. Not there.
But if you are trying to play a word association game, where you mix cultures and belief systems to create your own New Age stew of pleasing world-views, that's definitely the way to go about it. A bit bland for my taste, though.

If you don't think that the Bible is a symbolic treatise on Alchemy(Tantra) and Kabbalah, then perhaps there's something the clergy isn't telling you?

From gnosticteachings.org
The Christian sects depict an infrasexual Jesus, effeminate, weak; yet at times angry, like a whimsical woman. Naturally, all of this is absurd. The fact is that nobody knows the personal life of Jesus, because we do not have his biography. Only with the faculties of objective clairvoyance can we study the life of Jesus in the Akasic Records of Nature...

Seriousness in the Esoteric Work
...Therefore, before anything else, we have to be serious.
Schools of cheap pseudo-occultism and pseudo-esotericism exist everywhere, but indeed it is hard to find serious people among them... If we were to call to the Path the five million people in Mexico (and the world) who are dedicated to cheap pseudo-esotericism and pseudo-occultism, if indeed we were to call them to come to the Path, if we were to put on the table, in front of them, the postulates of Gnosis, if they were taught what the path of Self-realization is, I am sure that most of them would run away.
Many of them are erudite in Theosophy, in pseudo-Rosicrucianism, etc., etc., etc.; unfortunately, it is hard to find serious people among them; all of them are looking for a form of amusement, almost all of those pseudo-know-it-alls of cheap-pseudo esotericism really just want to pass the time, to have fun, but when indeed we place on the table the postulates of Self-realization and invite them to work, then they run away.
Therefore, it is not Self-realization that they are looking for, but a form of amusement. That is all.
First of all, we have to be serious. I could not call "serious" someone who does not care for the self-exploration of himself, somebody who is not concerned with the self-knowledge of himself...
By making a hash of all of them, you end up grasping nothing at all.
Crowley may have published huge tables of "correspondences" in 777, but he didn't succeed at being much more than a huckster, and died a hopeless old alcoholic. Because he refused to submit to any single discipline, he ended up making no more progress than where the brute force of his own ego could carry him.

Oops. My bad! your friends already are:
Man. So, that site, which you recommend, doesn't accept the stuff in the Bible ("we have no biography"); but gleefully accepts daydreaming, . . . oh, pardon me, objective clairvoyance as a reliable source of information about Jesus and his teachings!
