" There are a total of 16 kalas available to mankind : 8 in the male and 8 in the female. The kalas are somewhat like 'light' when it comes to definitions. Kalas are called 'rays', 'emanations', 'secretions' : I tend to think of them as 'Chakra-juice' with qualities of light, energy, water, blood, life, prana, and Nightside dimension keys. They do enter the biopsyche system at the Chakras, and condense out into various gladular secretions charged with the particular Chakra-frequency via axons & dendrites — These react and form a concentrated quasi-physical essence of energy manifested as the sexual fluids at orgasm. "

" The combination of the 8 male & 8 female kalas under this 'lightning flash' explosion of orgasm produces the Elixir Of Life. This is reverenly consumed as Communion by both parters, thus preserving the ecology of their energy-systems ( and augmenting it considerably ). The Elixir is also used to charge talismans : sigils & amulets, and mixed with wine for a Pan-feast, etc. etc. "

" At production, the kalas are mostly energy. They transfer into the nervous system, down the spinal cord, and precipitate into mostly matter ( sexual fluids ). So, the Magickian's main instrument is his body, directed with love under will. We are our own laboratories, our own alblemic & retort, microscope & telescope, and computer. "

" The Elixir is ideally absorbed as you describe... like how Yogis eat. It's about the most intense form of prana manifest on the planet, and it's almost like you breathe it instead of eating it. "

" Sensual or erotic imagery are Magickal tools : as long as you are doing the control. The technique of karezza, in which the Magickian visualizes the most sensual partner possible, with the sigil of Will on a necklace, or earring, or other jewelry the Image wears. One then unites with this Image ( conjured succubus ) via the imagination : ( sexual release happens in a near-trance condition ). "

" Although one drop of Elixir consumed is infinitely effective, one should always try for the maximum amount possible. The Elixir is also used to charge things : whatever object you have that is dedicated to the purpose of the Working at hand. Photos are neat for Workings of sympathetic magick. There's also the refinement of the IX° process, wherein a charge is allowed to build between two Alchemists : for as long as necessary to really generate intense polarity-energy : and then earthed in Temple ritual. "

" Once you undertake the practice of Thelemic Alchemy, you'll never be satisfied again with just secular sex. This doesn't mean that Temple Workings of this nature are cold and rigid : far from it ! One must be able to give every last drop of blood to the Chalice of Our Lady BABALON, and retain control of the process of total giving, so that the forces are all dedicated to the earthing of Will ( purpose or desire of the Working ). It's a complex subject, indeed... "
