Killing of the old Adam. 2. Desire for the mother Introversion. Incest. Love towards an Ideal. 4. Auto-erotism. Siddhi. 5. Copulation with the mother. Spiritual regeneration. 6. Improvement. Re-creation. 7. Death wish. Attainment of the ideal.
Similar features in our parable are the wandering in the dense forest, the stay in the lion’s den, the going through the dark passage into the garden, the being shut up in the prison or, in the language of alchemy, the receptacle. Introversion is continually connected with regression.
In many of the modern theosophic introversion methods, borrowed from the Hindu yoga doctrines, we find the exhortation to attach no importance to the marvels appearing beside the real prize, indeed to regard them as a pernicious by-product. The Hindu doctrine calls them Siddhi.
The marvel of the invigoration that can be attained in the successful issue of introversion is comparable to the effect that Antæus felt on touching his mother, the earth. I wish now to quote a mystic philosopher.
The wife of Siva, however, is called Kundalini. Mythologically expressed, introversion proceeds well if the hero defeats the dragon. If this does not happen, an unsuccessful issue is the result; the man loses himself. In my opinion this losing of self is possible in two ways, one active, the other passive. In all there would then be three terminations of introversion.
This death is often fused with the symbol of introversion, because both can appear under the symbol of the entrance into the mother or earth. Only by closer examination can it sometimes be seen which process is chiefly intended. Again and again the masters declare that one cannot attain to true progress except by means of the blacks, death and putrefaction.
We should not forget the singular fact that after the introversion, at the beginning of the work of rebirth, a deluge occurs. Even before the catastrophe there was indeed an earth and life on it, but only after the flood, begins the forming of the present Cosmos.
Then, slowly, the fire died out and he turned his eyes, once more cool and rational, a little quizzical, on Dark. "Didn't you call him 'father'?" he asked. "Yes," said Dark in a low voice. "But I'd rather not talk about it right now." He looked at Old Beard, and seemed to be ridding himself, with an effort, of a deep introversion.
The day that followed this night of reconciliation had many hours of sober introversion of thought for both Emerson and his wife; hours in which memory reproduced language, conduct and sentiments that could not be dwelt upon without painful misgivings for the future. They understood each other too well to make light account of things said and done, even in anger.
He had very little power of introversion, but he was sensible that his temperament was changing, that he grew more cheerful and contented with life, that a chasm somewhere was filling up, just in proportion as his acquaintance with the old music-master and his daughter became more familiar.
