BIOLOGICAL TRANSMUTATION
The phenomenon of transmutation of the
        sexual energy has as scientific basis the phenomenon of
        Biological Transmutation. Biological transmutation is the
        process through which a living organism can produce
        controlled nuclear reactions of transmutation
        (transformation of an element into another by nuclear
        reaction) at low temperatures, with slow release of huge
        quantities of energy. Biological transmutation of
        the sexual energy is therefore the transmutation, with
        slow release of a huge quantity of energy, of the atoms
        contained in the sexual potential through continence.
        
The characteristics of biological
        transmutation are: 
- takes place in all living
 organisms at the cell level, in structures called
 Mitocondria, which occur in the cytoplasm of
 every cell. Mitochondria is the site of the
 cell’s energy production.
- implies both fusion and fission.
- the transfer is realized between
 atoms of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon (these being
 the dominant elements in the living beings).
The process of controlled biological
        transmutation leads to the gradual awakening of the inner
        paranormal powers of the mind, reaching altered (higher)
        states of consciousness, awakening of intelligence,
        emotional balance, a state of constant happiness, etc.
        
Through consciously and effortlessly
        controlling the sexual function (orgasm without
        ejaculation) of the human body, complex reactions of
        biological transmutation take place, leading to a slow
        and continuous release of an enormous quantity of energy,
        which can be directed, through sublimation to higher
        levels of being, for a specific purpose (magical,
        spiritual). Tantra teaches secret
        techniques (for example Oli Mudras
        or Shakti Mudras) through which
        the biological transmutation can be initiated and
        accelerated into the practitioner’s body (both man
        and women).

THE MAGICAL SPRING
Tantra’s 
        teachings use sexuality for completely transcending
        it. Even at the level of ordinary sexual
        experiences, the couple sometimes has the strange and
        powerful feeling that sexual intercourse releases a
        tremendous energy inside the human
        psyche. Frequently superior and nostalgic truths can
        be inferred in this state. Pedro McGregor in his famous "Psychosexual
        Synthesis" confirms the Tantric
        teachings concerning sexuality. Our burning sexual
        or emotional beatitudes are nothing other than a
        degenerated mysterious enthusiasm. Our highest and
        noblest spiritual yearnings, the whole of our
        transcendental and sublime potential, would be somehow
        imprisoned in matter, i.e. in sexuality. This
        enthusiasm is materialized, therefore limited, absorbed
        and inert.  It is logical to consider that a
        conscious change in our sexual behavior and in our most
        intimate attitudes could act as a magical spring,
        releasing truly super-human energies in the same way that
        a controlled mutation in the intimate structure of the
        atom can release a tremendous amount of nuclear
        energy. 
THE ENERGY OF INTENSE EMOTIONS
Therefore, another important
        characteristic of the Tantric
        Way is that
        spiritual growth is realized through extreme intensity of
        energy  spontaneously born during the passionate
        living of intense emotions, including both sexual and
        non-sexual emotions. The Supreme Existence reveals itself
        instantaneously during the tumult of violent emotions
        such as extreme terror, vivid curiosity, deep compassion,
        total anger, profound pleasure.  
"In
order to penetrate into the Supreme Reality,
everything that is at hand is to be considered as a
modality; because, as the Trika
system puts it, the human being must not submit to
any restrictions (in order to attain the
Supreme)".
When controlled and directed by a lucid
        mind, this paramount intensity of the extreme emotions
        creates the instantaneous welding of all levels of the
        human being (physical-sexual, emotional and
        mental-spiritual) which are normally disconnected and
        therefore acting independently. Thus, the
        practitioner becomes aware of the inner abyssal power
        that lies within himself and starts to bring it to the
        surface. The transcendence of the inferior levels of
        consciousness is realized through an exceptionally
        frantic living of every moment of everyday life.  In
        this way, the duality disappears into the flashing unity
        of the Supreme Consciousness, without change (Nirvikalpa).
