In his paper “How the Guzotte Outlines Came
to Be Written”, Michael
Bertiaux describes the system
of Guzotte and it origin:
While working in New York, and especially while
riding the subways, the author would develop sexual
fantasies about each person he saw. He would then
use these sexual fantasies in a magical way, as
inner images of occult powers. The erotic images
would function like Tattwa symbols for opening up
consciousness to the deepest layers of the ultra-libido
substratum…the author was able to use these
images to trap and hold invisible psychic energies
and occult powers.
--Bertiaux,
VGN pp 121 In the paper, he
briefly discusses the application of this method
in dream control, both in “day” dreaming
and then night dreaming. This system, as described,
has affinities with Jung’s active imagination
and ultimately is a form of occult psychoanalysis.
That this is an (esoteric) philosophical stream
in Voudoo, the for is called the “Eros of
les Loa”. We will return to abstract theoretical
considerations later, but the last portion of
the paper lays the foundation, so to speak, of
the entire Black Matrix technology, the Guzotte
Exercises in Kama Projection.
The technique is, like all of Bertiaux’s
teachings, simple yet very powerful. It involves,
similar to other tech in the VGN, a form of mandala
or magic circle. The magician imagines himself
surrounded by some number of erotic images or
objects, and then mentally forms a connection
with the “object of lust” and his
own imagination through his eyes. The process
then takes on a form of meditation, though the
magician is active in this phase, projecting Kama
to the objects (Bertiaux stresses that each object
should be worked equally to keep the “space”
balanced) until the space itself takes on a sparkling
quality. Then, the instruction goes on, the operator
will evoke (or simply imagine) the Being of the
entire universe in human form(1) which will come
to him and, through operations of various types,
release tremendous energies and also reveal secrets
of an occult nature, dependant on the formulae
of the point (or Kala) enacted (such as O-O, O-A,
etc.). Finally, Bertiaux provides the key for
this extension of the Kama Projection technique
described above:
(the magician) can create or discover magical
beings by letting your fantasies roam very freely
in the manifold realms of sexual imagination.
