INTRODUCTION
To the surprise of the spiritualists of this 20th century, and after a long period of recess, GNOSIS reappeared — and this time in America, to the joy of many who already anticipated the arrival of that transcendental knowledge, which was truly the greatest necessity of the epoch given so much confusion in religious matters as well as in philosophical matters, whose forms no longer fit nor adjusted themselves to the new universal currents nor to the longings of many human hearts who yearned for something positive and practical.
The American continent, and especially Latin America, is the new stage of the Planet, where the sublime Esotericism of CHRIST is presenting itself in public form for the good of those who have attained sufficient spiritual maturity, a condition required to be able to value it justly and live it in practical form, without fears or complications of any kind. In other times it flourished in Palestine, Greece, Egypt, Babylon, and so on, but in this new Era it is in America that it will bear its fruits.
The bearer of that sublime knowledge was a guest on our Cuzcatlecan soil back in the year 1955, in the month of October; possibly it was the winds of that October that brought him here. No one in those days was capable of even imagining who he was; he was an unknown personage and under such conditions there was nothing about him that would call attention, except for his teaching.
I had the opportunity, so to speak, of seeing and hearing him; his foreign accent and the aplomb with which he spoke called my attention. The authority he demonstrated in the mastery of a knowledge apparently new, but which is really as old as the very existence of man on earth, gave the impression that he knew to perfection what he was speaking about, that he knew exactly what he was affirming, and that he possessed powers superior to the common and ordinary.
That everything he said he lived from moment to moment and not simply for having read it. I realized that I was before a man who possessed the true Wisdom — not the Wisdom of this age nor of the princes of this age who come to nothing; it was nothing less than the Wisdom of God in Mystery, the Hidden Wisdom, which God predestined before the ages for our glory, as Saint Paul affirmed.
I then received from that personage THE GREAT SECRET OF LIFE; intuitively I understood its importance and perceived its scope, which seemed to me a gift from Heaven. My inner reaction was not slow in coming, and a struggle was joined between light and darkness; a hard battle was waged between my heart and my brain; the inner beast writhed within me, sensing the danger of perishing and fighting to obstruct my faculties when I had scarcely received the first flash of inner light; my heart then prevailed and the darkness was dispelled, while the inner light began to enter into activity.
I then decided to verify in flesh and bone, rather than to go for consultation before the sages of this world, because I already suspected the response of those paragons of knowledge.
When the opportune moment arrived, I put into practice THE GREAT ARCANUM and was then able to evidence fantastic, marvelous, sublime, and satisfying results; the inner beast suffered its first defeat, and I realized that its food was there, in sex… in animal sexuality, in fornication. I then understood the meaning of the symbolic tempting serpent of Eden, as well as the curse that weighs upon the serpent of fornication, the matter of Original Sin being totally clarified.
How could it be possible to doubt the effects of transcendent, superior, and divine sexuality? Why would I have to despise it?
Under such circumstances I was placed on the path of INITIATION and submitted by personal conviction to the process of CHRISTIFICATION, to awaken my Consciousness slumbering under the effect of the mechanical revolution of nature; and I became a disciple of CHRIST. For truly CHRIST does not want unconscious worshipers nor followers. He wants disciples capable of becoming conscious so that they may collaborate decisively in favor of the GREAT WORK OF THE FATHER.
From that decisive moment the struggle against my inferior nature began — which is what predominates in all human beings — and I began to experience the first psychic and physical changes, but until then I had paid no importance to the personage in question; I was interested in the principles he expounded with certain authority, but I did not concern myself with seeing him again and learning more than the little I had heard; it was first necessary to verify the effects of Scientific Chastity through transmutation, in order to consider myself satisfied; and convinced of its benefits, I went in search of him, but unfortunately he had already left the country, heading toward MEXICO.
It was then necessary to wait for news, which arrived a few days later; he had already established himself in the Federal District, and so we were able to establish our relations by correspondence.
Needless to say, since that October of 1955, the seed of GNOSIS was planted in EL SALVADOR, as can be appreciated in the “CHRISTMAS MESSAGE 1955-56,” and it began to germinate, following its process of development in slow, but effective, real, and positive form. Currently the SALVADORAN CHRISTIAN GNOSTIC MOVEMENT counts numerous families of various religious beliefs who practice that discipline and are submitted to the process of CHRISTIFICATION, who have resolved infinite problems, who are awakening consciousness and making conscientive values, experiencing in living flesh the blessing of Heaven by verifying the innumerable benefits that the crystallization of sexual energy lavishes; all this without disparaging their religious beliefs or ideas; even more, they have learned to value them in all that they signify; they realize that they followed such or such religion or system of philosophy blindly, in a mechanical and unconscious form, without any foundation, completely asleep and without any solid basis; and truly, GNOSIS is not against anything nor against anyone, nor is it a new Religion or a new philosophy; it is the SYNTHESIS of Science, of Philosophy, and of Religion; it is what IS, what has always been, and what will always be.
After having reflected on the cited personage, it seemed to me that he was a Master of Divine Wisdom who should have oriented us a little more; nevertheless, a few months later we received the first GNOSTIC literature: 4 booklets entitled “CHRISTMAS MESSAGES,” simple but of a very singular content, fabulous indeed because in them were unveiled the Mysteries of Life and of Death, in the absence of the Master and through them a broader orientation would be obtained.
We found in them the Biblical symbolism totally deciphered; for the Christian Bible is the source of information of Gnosticism; in it the path that leads to Eternal Life is spoken of, but it does not explain the procedure to follow; a Messenger to decipher was needed, and that Messenger is fulfilling his mission.
In the First Christmas Message which came to light in the year 1952, the veil is drawn back that covered the August Mysteries which were the patrimony of the ancient Temples, and it expounds without detours:
“That the Esotericism of CHRIST is founded on the profound mysteries of sex; that redemption resides exclusively in the sexual act; that there is need to form CHRIST in us, and that this is only possible by transmuting water into wine within our organic laboratory, but that it is necessary to learn to tame the inner beast.”
It is nothing less than the system of teaching for becoming CHRISTIFIED and uniting with God, with the Father, with the Absolute; it is the old system of the alchemists, of the Primitive Christians, the only one capable of transforming the humanoid into a being conscious of all his acts.
Each Christmas Message is a wonder of Wisdom, a well of knowledge, a true guide in the shadows of ignorance.
Given the importance that each of the Christmas Messages bears for the better orientation of the students of GNOSIS, it has been necessary to gather them and present them in a single volume. Thirteen in number have been compiled, corresponding the first to the year 1952 and the last to the year 1963.
The author of these Messages is now very familiar to us, and it is V.M. SAMAEL AUN WEOR, the Fifth of the Seven according to the Apocalypse of Saint John. He is a competent investigator who, by reason of the mission that has fallen to him to fulfill, has known how to defy all dangers and to overturn the established and entrenched spiritual molds of the human mind.
One of the most notable aspects is that he explains with full clarity many of the concepts considered true, when in truth they have been mistaken concepts, like that one that, in matters of Christ, everything revolves around Jesus of Nazareth.
SAMAEL teaches that there exists the historical CHRIST, the liquid Christ, the Christ in substance, and the Atomic Christ; they are diverse modes of expression of the Cosmic Christ; he synthesizes and defines that the Christ is a perfect multiple unity. That the Christic substance floods all the infinite spaces and is subject to the systole and diastole of all the Suns of the Infinite.
To study and practice until making sure of the reality is our counsel for all those who wish to be Initiated on the Path of Perfection.
INVERENTIAL PEACE.

Foreword
Chapter One: GNOSIS IN THE 20TH CENTURY
Around the month of May of the year 1952, a group of countrymen of the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta, municipality of Ciénaga, district of Orihueca, region of Camaguey, invited V.M. Samael to visit them. The Master was there with them; when he returned from those virgin lands, he informed us that he had received orders to found the SUMMUM SUPREMUM SANCTUARIUM, a temple of Major Mysteries.
He returned anew with all his family two months later; it was the month of July of that same year. There he immediately opened his lecture-chair. The countrymen rapidly built him a dwelling, a hall for conferences, and a small oratory.
In the month of August, once the place to build the Temple of the Nevada had been chosen, the Work was begun. There were twelve heads of family who composed the personnel that followed the Master; with all of them he initiated the Work of construction of the First Subterranean Temple; only household tools were available for it: picks, shovels, rakes, and so on.
In the month of August I made my first visit to the Master. All his interest was placed on the construction of the temple; to reach it one had to make a great detour around the slope of the mountain; this prevented the persecutors of the Master and his Work from being able to reach it to exterminate the incipient Work. Five months of intense work allowed us to hold the first Christmas gathering (December 24, 1952); about sixty persons were congregated; the Master delighted us with his first Christmas Message, whose text appears in this Work; our first foreword also appears, which we have prolonged uninterruptedly up to the Christmas Message of the present year 1973-1974 entitled: “If There Is Hell, If There Is Devil, If There Is Karma,” which will be read by all Religious Creeds, philosophical systems, and ideologies of all types. This message is a work for all.
The construction of the Temple of the Nevada was and will be the Work of Colossi; now people come from the four cardinal points; it has had capacity for five hundred pilgrims.
The House of the Pilgrim is already in construction with capacity to lodge all the Gnostic personnel who visit us each year.
For now the Congress of El Salvador (II) took measures to cement the bases of the Powerful Gnostic Movement that, with sweeping force, clears away the tangled undergrowth that obstructs the dawn of Aquarius on our Planet Earth.
Now we are thousands of members of the Army of World Salvation.
Read these messages, dear reader, and resolve to accompany us in serving the world. Great is the evil of the world, and there is no time to lose.

Chapter Two: SUPREME CHRISTMAS MESSAGE 1952
DECEMBER 24, 1952, MASTER AUN WEOR
Initiator of the New Era of Aquarius
“One must be very humble to conquer wisdom, and once conquered one must be much more humble.”
(AUN WEOR)
To the Devotees of the Path
AUN WEOR, Master of the Universal White Fraternity, wishes to reach with this “CHRISTMAS MESSAGE,” once again, the Heart of the devotees of the path and all the people of good will, who yearn for sentiments of love or words of comfort; who seek liberation, justice, and truth.
Only the foolish and the senseless desire triumphs before men. The vain of heart, the destitute of virtues, always seeks in the world of forms what might compensate for the disarray of his inner image. The man who shines with the wealth of virtues esteems exterior adornments as nothing and disdains ostentation, vanity, weak pride, and the pompous and vain. There is an infinite difference between the millionaire of heart and the miser of external treasures.
The Master adorns himself with humility, and the despot with tyranny. There is no way to confuse the humble with the tyrant. The first is valiant and glorified; the second cowardly and contemptible. To disguise his arrogance, the latter leans on weapons and on the enslaved force of his unconditional followers. The Master commands with humility, and is obeyed by conviction. The blessed are not the fruit of the pomps and vanities of the world. One must be very humble to conquer wisdom, and once conquered one must be much more humble.
Pain in the foolish and in the cowardly is cursing and irascible. Pain for the sage, for him who desires only the things of God, is a source of purification and glory. The fool renounces his endeavors and suffers when the pain intensifies. The sage, undaunted in the face of pain, conquers his own deficiencies and reaps the fruit of divine wisdom. Pain, conquered by the sage, surrenders to him its arcana…
From pain the just one is born, and justice is wisdom…
The evil one nourishes his entrails with infamies, and when they are exhausted, he invents them. He is a negative and perfidious creator. The just one feeds himself on love. Hence it is that he loves his friends and also his enemies, the ones because they understand him, and the others because they do not understand him…
“From the breast of Lucretia the ‘alcoberos’ (men of the bedroom) are nourished, and from that of Isis, the redeemers of humanity…”
When you, O mortal!, find the path of eternal life, remember that you are a Samson of the Great Arcanum, and never permit the beautiful Delilah (your companion) to cut your hair, the fine threads through which rise the vapors of her candle (sperm) with which you shall attain Christification. If you conquer, “I will make you a column of my temple,” “and death shall be no more.”
May these my words reach your heart.
May my sacrifice of today be your breath of tomorrow.
May you listen to me and follow yourself…

Supreme Christmas Message
Given by the Great Avatar of Aquarius Aun Weor, the initiator of the New Era, in the Summum Supremum Sanctuarium of the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta, Colombia, on December 24, 1952.
Most beloved Brothers:
Today, 1952 years ago, was born in a humble manger of Bethlehem the most perfect being our planetary globe has known.
Innumerable religious sects dispute his teachings, without having ever understood them in their highly transcendental, philosophical, scientific, and mystical aspects.
The Christic esotericism is founded on the profound mysteries of sex, within which lies potentially the sacred fire of the Holy Spirit. All authentic Christianity has its roots in the sacred Order of Melchizedek, king of fire, who remains priest forever.
Paul of Tarsus says in his Epistle to the Hebrews the following: “Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.” (Hebrews 5:6)
Thus the priesthood of Christ is based on the order of Melchizedek. “Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.” (Hebrews 5:11)
In this Verse Paul stops before the unspeakable secret of the Great Arcanum, the supreme key of Sexual Magic. In the times of Paul, the great supreme secret of sexuality was incommunicable, and therefore Paul found himself under the necessity of keeping silent.
“For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.” (Hebrews 5:12)
The first principles of the word of God are founded on Sexual Magic, but in Paul’s times there was need of milk and not of solid food.
The times for publicly teaching Sexual Magic had not arrived; humanity was still in an infantile state.
Firm meat can only be given to those who already know good and evil.
“But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil!” (Hebrews 5:14)
Nor even today does humanity have its senses well exercised in the knowledge of good and evil; the members of all religions need milk because they are not capable of digesting solid food.
When we unveil the wisdom of Melchizedek before the astonished gazes of millions of human beings, to teach them the holy mysteries of sex, they consider us wicked.
At these moments the whole world is witness to astonishing cases of hermaphroditism. Everywhere hermaphrodites are now being born. Official science wishes to struggle against nature and appeals to surgical operations, supposedly to correct Nature.
Man wishes to correct the work of the Creator! Hermaphrodites are beginning to be born everywhere, and humanity finds itself in a perfectly embryonic state. The human mind is in the dawn of its birth.
The end is equal to the beginning, plus the experience of the cycle.
Before Eve had been drawn from the rib of Adam, Adam lived alone in the terrestrial Paradise; now Eve will again return to fuse with Adam, and so we shall have that the humanity of the future will again become hermaphrodite, just as it was in the past.
The BIBLE tells us in GENESIS the following: “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them…” (Genesis 1:27)
That is, God created man hermaphrodite; male and female he created them. In the image and likeness of God, because God is hermaphrodite.
In the inner worlds we evidence this great reality when we contemplate the solemn majesty of the Sons of Fire. Angels, archangels, thrones, virtues, powers, and so on.
Those ineffable beings are active members of the great Order of Melchizedek. All those divine beings are hermaphrodites.
“For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him.”
“To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace.”
“Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.” (Hebrews 7:1-3)
That priesthood of Melchizedek is the wisdom of Christ. It is the mystery of Sex.
“Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.”
The woman was called woman because from man she was taken. The masculine sex will gradually be absorbed into the feminine.
Each time more women will be born than men. As time passes, hermaphrodites will abound more and more. The masculine sex will be absorbed within the feminine, and finally there will be established on our Earth the sacred Order of Melchizedek, on which is founded the priesthood of Our Lord the CHRIST.
The future hermaphrodites will create without sexual contact; they will conceive in their wombs without carnal wedlock. This was already affirmed by H. P. B. in the VI Volume of “The Secret Doctrine,” but she did not explain it because the times were not yet ripe.
And the angel-man of the Antarctic will create by means of the word, and then we shall have the Order of Melchizedek realized in flesh and bone. Each one will create his body with the power of the word. The larynx will be the sexual organ of the future divine humanity, which shall dwell in the Continent of the Antarctic.
The hermaphrodites of the past reproduced themselves by means of “spores,” and those spores were gestated in the calves of the legs. With just reason the Portuguese call the calves “matriz das pernas,” or “ventre das pernas,” that is, womb of the legs, or belly of the legs.
Yet I say, Brothers, that this process of biological transformation that will culminate in the perfect hermaphrodite will take place over many thousands of years, but since Nature does not make leaps, some hermaphrodites are already beginning to appear.
Nevertheless, we are not to confuse the authentic hermaphrodite with the false hermaphrodite, with the sodomite, with the effeminate, with those degenerates who lie with males, or with those mannish women who today are corrupting many young girls.
Redemption resides exclusively in the sexual act.
One must transmute water into wine, to raise our metallic serpent upon the rod, as MOSES did in the wilderness.
The water (semen) is to be transmuted into Christic energy, into the Wine of light of the Alchemist.
There is need to form Christ in us, and this is only possible by transmuting water into wine within our marvelous organic laboratory. Christ will have been born uselessly in Bethlehem if he does not also be born in our heart. There is need for the I-CHRIST to be born in us; it is urgent that the star of Bethlehem shine over us to announce the birth of that I-CHRIST amid the living depths of our consciousness.
He who conquered all the temptations is the only one who can give us courage and power sufficient to resist with heroism all the temptations.
But there is need to form CHRIST in us. It is indispensable that we Christify ourselves to attain union with the FATHER.
“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets.”
“Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds.”
“Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.”
“For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?” (Hebrews 1:1-2, 4-5)
Christ is the brightness of the glory of the Father, who upholds all things with the marvelous power of his verb.
There exists the historical Christ, there exists the Christ in substance, and there exists the Liquid Christ. They are three modes of expression of the Son, the COSMIC CHRIST, who came into the world to redeem us through fire.
The Christic substance floods all Infinite spaces and is subject to the systole and diastole of all the Suns of the infinite.
The Christic substance is the Mediator between the pure Universal Spirit, the kingdom of the Father, and the world of matter.
It would be impossible for the great universal Spirit of life to crystallize his cosmic ideations if the Christic substance did not exist. That marvelous plastic substance reflects the power, the glory, and the splendor of the FATHER.
All the army of the voice; all the members of the sacred Order of Melchizedek, are only components of the body of Christ.
Master is only CHRIST; Elder Brother of humanity can only be called he who has Christified himself.
Master is only he who has formed Christ in his interior.
There is need to pass through the death of the cross in order to resurrect from among the living dead.
You, my Brothers, are living dead, because you have not yet formed Christ in yourselves. When you resurrect from among the living dead, you shall ascend to the Father, and then you shall receive the Holy Spirit, who will give you the gifts of Christ.
Each of you must carry his cross; each of you must die in order to live, must lose everything in order to gain everything.
You shall die to the world, but you shall live for the FATHER. Life feeds itself with death; there is need for the earthly man to die so that the celestial man may glorify himself.
There is need to persevere in Prayer. There is need to persevere in the breaking of the bread and the wine.
Every prayer must end with bread and wine.
Sexual Magic, prayer, and the breaking of the bread and the wine will gradually form Christ in you.
One must be humble to attain wisdom, and after having attained it, one must be more humble.
“My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you.” (Galatians 4:19)
Most beloved Brothers, I swear to you by the Eternal living God, that when you form Christ in you, you shall unite with your INNERMOST, and you shall become omnipotent flames of the Universe.
This is the holy doctrine of the Nazarene; the doctrine that Paul preached in Rome when he arrived loaded with chains. This is the doctrine for which Stephen died a martyr; this is the doctrine that Peter preached in the house of Cornelius, and for it all the saints of Jerusalem were persecuted and hated.
Beloved: I feel pity for you, because you have embraced the doctrine of the martyrs. Humanity has never been pleased with this doctrine; for having preached it, they murdered Christ, and all his followers were martyrs.
My Brothers, I, AUN WEOR, deliver to you the old doctrine of the Gnostics so that you may form Christ in you. This holy Doctrine slept for twenty centuries in the depths of the Sanctuary, but here you have it again so that you may resurrect from among the living dead and ascend to the Father.
My Brothers: I am in travail for you, until you form the Christ in you. You will be persecuted, hated, and imprisoned for the word; thus they persecuted the prophets that were before you. INITIATION is your very life, and each one will have to bear the weight of his own cross.
You will have to pass through death, and the death of the cross. You shall be born as Messiah princes, like the child God of Bethlehem, in the suprasensible worlds, for God and for the Father.
Brothers: remember that each of you is, at the bottom, a star, but only can you return to the Father when the child of Bethlehem has been born in You.
This is the gravest moment in the history of the world; already the first bells of the resurrection of Aquarius resound in the distance. The Christmas pines are full of aromas, and the song of the angels still resounds as a melody of peace to the men of good will.
However, the times of peace have not yet arrived. Nature is giving birth to the new AQUARIAN Era, and that birth is painful. The new year of 1953 will be Karmic for humanity. There shall be bloody revolutions, famines, and tumults everywhere in the world.
The eclipse of July 11 will be disastrous for humanity. The Lions of the Law have on their list many important personages to disincarnate.
The July eclipse will provoke those disincarnations necessary for the common good. That eclipse will be Karmic for humanity.
Already the hour of the victory of the martyrs approaches. The people of God shall conquer, and Christ shall be the king of AQUARIUS.
It is urgent that man learn to perform in his own house the miracle of the wedding of Cana. One must transmute water into wine, in marriage. One must learn to enjoy love with wisdom.
One must learn to tame the passional beast. One must slay the animal ego.
There are many ignorant ones who believe it impossible to perform in themselves the miracle of Cana. Do not forget, brothers, that wise Nature placed in your Spinal Column its two ganglionic cords, through whose fine canals the sexual energy ascends to the brain.
Those two cords are our two witnesses.
“These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.”
“These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.” (Revelation 11:4, 6)
Beloved: remember that Jesus of Nazareth, born in Bethlehem 1952 years ago, is Joshua, the great Priest, whose body was later given to the BRANCH, the son, the Christ, whose miraculous substance constitutes the sacred oil of our life, the liquid Christ.
“Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.” (Zechariah 3:8)
Jesus of Nazareth, born in Bethlehem, is Joshua, the great priest who, in the baptism of the Jordan, gave his body to the Branch so that his three-year mission might be fulfilled.
This is similar to a tenant who leaves his house so that another tenant may inhabit it. Jesus is one, and Christ is another.
Jesus is Joshua the great priest; and Christ is the son of the living God, who penetrated the body of Jesus at the age of 30. Joshua, the great priest, prepared himself for this solemn mission by learning to transmute water into wine.
“Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.”
“And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.” (Zechariah 3:3-4)
And Joshua received the sacred INITIATION, because he learned to transmute water into wine, and raised his metallic serpent upon the rod, and attained union with the INNERMOST.
“And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the Lord stood by. And the angel of the Lord protested unto Joshua, saying”:
“Thus saith the Lord of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by.” (Zechariah 3:5-7)
And Joshua remained faithful to the ordinance of Jehovah; he contemplated the forbidden fruit; he was nourished with its aromas, but he did not eat it, and Jehovah fulfilled his word.
Today is 1952 years that Joshua came back to the world to prepare the body for the Christ. Joshua knew that that body would only belong to him until the age of 30, and it was in the Jordan that Joshua gave his body to the divine redeemer of the world.
“For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.” (Zechariah 3:9)
That stone is the lamb of the living God, the immolated one, the celestial man who lives in us.
And that stone was placed before Joshua, and its seven eyes shine terribly in the unfathomable depths of our consciousness.
“And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.” “And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof.”
“And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.” (Zechariah 4:1-3)
That candlestick, all of gold, is our Spinal Column. The bowl upon the head of the candlestick is our Chalice, full of the pure oil of our semen; and the seven pipes belong to the seven Medullas of our seven bodies, through which the seven degrees of the power of fire must ascend in successive order.
“And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?”
“And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.”
“Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.” (Zechariah 4:12-14)
These are the two witnesses through which the sacred oil of our semen must rise to its sacred vessel of the head.
The whole secret is enclosed in the Lingam Yoni of the Greek mysteries. In the union of the Phallus and the Uterus is found the key to transmute water into wine.
The important thing consists in connecting oneself sexually with the priestess, and withdrawing from her before the spasm in order to avoid the ejaculation of the semen.
Thus Joshua remained faithful to the ordinance of Jehovah; he looked at the fruit, he delighted in it, but he did not eat it; and Jehovah fulfilled his word, and removed his filthy garments and clothed him with change of raiment, and placed a fair mitre upon his head.
Oh ZERUBBABEL, ZERUBBABEL, the hands of Zerubbabel laid the foundation of the house, and upon a great mountain of metal, we shall be priests and kings of the living God.
Now I invite you, my brothers, to form Christ in you.
Christ the child will have been born uselessly in Bethlehem if he is not born in our heart also.
Today, 1952 years ago, was born in a humble manger of Bethlehem the most perfect being that our planetary globe has known. Innumerable religious sects dispute his teachings without ever having understood them in their highly transcendental, philosophical, scientific, and mystical aspects.
The Christic esotericism is founded on the profound mysteries of sex, within which lies potentially the sacred fire of the Holy Spirit. All authentic Christianity has its roots in the Sacred Order of Melchizedek, king of fire, who remains priest forever.

The vain of heart, the destitute of virtues, always seeks in the world of forms what might compensate for the disarray of his inner image.
Chapter Three: SECOND CHRISTMAS MESSAGE 1953
DECEMBER 24, 1953, MASTER AUN WEOR
Initiator of the New Era of Aquarius
For the Devotees of the Path
Gnosis corresponds exactly to the diffusion of the doctrine of Our Lord the Christ, as direct emissary that he is of the Father before men. “No man cometh unto the Father but by Me,” he has taught us, and we must follow and imitate him if we want to come to the Father. Up to the moment all religions have taught the theory of this Holy Doctrine, and in part its diffusion in the world has been achieved; much has been accomplished in this sense, but we are now going to teach how to live that doctrine in practice.
We Gnostics are brothers in Christ, because we manage to form Christ within ourselves, just as Paul of Tarsus teaches us in the Holy Bible.
“To form Christ in us we faithfully follow the Sixth Commandment of the Law of God: “Thou shalt not fornicate,” that is, we learn to be chaste. We teach by chastity what it really and effectively is: NOT TO EJACULATE OUR SEMEN, not to lose our seed in pleasure and sexual licentiousness with women or with the wife, with whom we have legitimately contracted marriage. Let us teach to transmute that force without squandering it, that precious Elixir of Life, the precious Philosopher’s Stone of which the traditions speak; thus we become chaste, and with our own seed we form Christ within us, in our heart: both woman and man must become chaste; they can unite in marriage as man and woman, but not as the animals do, because the human state is already superior to the animal. We teach to be JUST, CHASTE, AND HOLY in thought, word, and deed. We prove that adultery breaks before God the sacred bonds of marriage.
We learn to do the will of the Father, both in heaven and on earth. Therefore procreation in us is verified by the work and grace of the Holy Spirit, that is, of Our Lord Jehovah, who directs and instructs us in this sense. When He and his Hierarchies deem it suitable, in one of our unions of Sexual-Magic with our priestess wife, they permit the exit of a single spermatozoon, which they deposit in the womb of the priestess or wife, and she remains thus fecundated, by the work and grace of the Holy Spirit; her childbirth shall be without pain, and this child of light a new blessed one, for the glory of the Father.
The children of pleasure are children of fornication; they are living dead; they are exposed to all manner of evils; their mothers’ births are amid the most terrible pains, and their passage through this world is a painful tragedy amid the most disconcerting incomprehension.
We speak of what we see, touch, and hear; we do not deal in theory, and we affirm what we know, so that others may convert it into reality, putting it into practice. We are like children, and as such we know how to forgive; we know that the doctrine of Our Lord the Christ is the doctrine of Love and of Forgiveness; we know that HATRED is the most monstrous sin, because it goes against the doctrine of love, which is the doctrine of Our Lord the Christ.
If we wish to practice the Doctrine of the Martyr of Golgotha, whom humanity rejected to choose Barabbas, the hardened thief and murderer, let us learn and follow his doctrine, but in practice; let us make it flesh and blood in us; let us imitate his example, and pay the debt of our ancestors in choosing between Christ and Barabbas the latter. Let us pay our offense uttered against the King of the Heavens: let us imitate his life, and live his doctrine in practice…
May the most profound peace reign in your hearts.

Second Christmas Message
Given by the Avatar of the New Aquarian Era, Aun Weor, in the Summum Supremum Sanctuarium of the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta (Colombia), on December 24, 1953.
Beloved Disciples:
After a year of innumerable sacrifices and of painful trials, today we are gathered again in this SANCTUARY of the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta, to celebrate the event of CHRISTMAS.
This Cosmic event is celebrated not only on our planet Earth, but also in the Great Cosmic Temple of SIRIUS, and in all the Cosmic Temples of the Earths of Space.
CHRIST is a BEING who up to the present date has not been understood by terrestrial Humanity.
Max Heindel considers the Christ as the greatest INITIATE of the Solar Period, and maintains that in the hierarchical order there are other Beings superior to him.
Master Blavatsky considers that the CHRIST is a Great INITIATE, simply like any other.
Theosophists, Rosicrucians, Spiritualists study the Christic esotericism and venerate the MASTER of Masters, but they do not know him.
I must inform you that the CHRIST is a PARAMARTASATYA.
Since that eastern term will sound exotic in your ears, it is necessary that I give you an explanation. PARAMARTASATYA is everyone who has awakened absolute consciousness.
The ABSOLUTE is life free in its movement.
The ABSOLUTE is the Eternal FATHER always dark.
The ABSOLUTE is profound shadows to human eyes, and Uncreated and terrible Light to the ineffable Hierarchy of the PARAMARTASATYAS.
CHRIST is a PARAMARTASATYA. CHRIST is an inhabitant of the ABSOLUTE.
That Great BEING liberated himself from the Great Soul of the World in a past Mahamvantara, and was born in the ABSOLUTE as Paramartasatya.
In the ABSOLUTE shines forth the felicity of the UNCREATED LIGHT. In the ABSOLUTE shines forth life free in its movement.
All the Cosmic planes, however luminous, are nothing more than pure masses of shadows before the Uncreated Light of the ABSOLUTE.
The ABSOLUTE is absolute abstract Space and absolute abstract Movement.
The ABSOLUTE contains in itself the knower, the knowledge, and the object of knowledge: Three in ONE; ONE in Three.
The void, the “NON-I,” and the shadows are ONE in the ABSOLUTE. Yet, that void is plenitude, those shadows are uncreated and subjective LIGHT, and that “NON-I” is the REAL BEING, is our INNERMOST, is our DIVINE I, with which we must unite in order to enter the ABSOLUTE.
CHRIST renounced that felicity to come into the world. Therefore the event of CHRISTMAS is celebrated in all the Cosmic Temples.
CHRIST is the Redeemer of Men and Gods; CHRIST is the ONLY BEGOTTEN, for to which of the men did GOD say: “Thou art my son, I have begotten thee this very day? I have made thee Priest eternally, according to the Order of Melchizedek?”
Thus, then, brothers, CHRIST is a Mediator between men and the ABSOLUTE.
CHRIST is an inhabitant of the ABSOLUTE who renounced the felicity of life free in its movement, to come into the World.
In the dawn of life, when the Heart of the Solar System began to beat after the Great Pralaya, the FIRE of the LOGOS fecundated the Chaotic Matter, so that Life might arise in all its splendor.
FIRE is the eternal masculine principle. Water is the Christic Semen, is the Universal feminine principle.
In the dawn of life the Universe did not exist; only the Semen of the Universe existed, the primordial waters that today we have deposited in our sexual glands, and that men foolishly squander in their fornications.
FIRE is represented by the vertical post of the CROSS. Water is the Christic Semen, which is represented by the horizontal post of the Cross.
FIRE is the FATHER; Water is the Mother.
FIRE fecundating Water forms the CROSS.
From that CROSS hangs the SON, the COSMIC CHRIST, who is the Governor of the COSMOS.
The masculine principle fecundates the feminine principle, so that from there the UNIVERSE may come forth.
That Universe is the SON, personified in the CHRIST, who abandoned the felicity of the ABSOLUTE to become a SAVIOR of men and Gods.
The primordial waters of SPACE are the CHRISTIC SEMEN, are our blessed PHILOSOPHER’S STONE, are the MERCURY of the secret Philosophy, which we must fecundate with our Solar Fires, in order to form CHRIST in us.
In the dawn of Life, the LOGOS of the Solar System fecundated that UNIVERSAL SEMEN with his Solar Fires, so that from there might come forth this marvelous Universe in which we live and have our BEING.
In the dawn of Life, the Spirit of GOD moved upon the face of the waters.
In those primordial waters of life only the seminal atoms of this Universe existed. Within those atoms is the germ of every life.
The Blessed Fire of the LOGOS fecundated those seminal atoms, so that from there might arise this marvelous Universe, full of plants, men, and Gods.
We Gnostics must fecundate our seminal atoms with the Solar Fires, so that from those atoms may be born the Child of Gold of Sexual Alchemy, the I-CHRIST, the Child God of Bethlehem.
Only thus can we liberate ourselves from the Cosmos and be born in the Uncreated LIGHT, where only the felicity of life free in its movement exists.
The BUDDHI, that is the Spiritual Soul of every Human Being, is a Spark of the SOUL OF THE WORLD, of the Intra-cosmic Soul, is our individual Consciousness, which must gradually awaken in ever more elevated planes of Cosmic Consciousness, until at last it awakens Absolute Consciousness, to make itself independent of the Great Soul and be born in the ABSOLUTE as a Paramartasatya.
The ABSOLUTE is the Great Reality, is Life free in its movement.
We must liberate ourselves from all the Cosmic planes; we must live within Life free in its movement. We must cease to exist and pass on to BE. To BE is better than to exist; to BE is to live without conditions, beyond Karma and the Gods.
To BE is to live in plenitude, without the bitterness of the Mind and without the pain of existence.
The human Consciousness must be Christified in order to be born in Life free in its movement.
In the Sign of the CROSS is enclosed the Secret of Christification.
In the sexual union of the Masculine and Feminine principles, represented by the vertical and horizontal posts of the Cross, is enclosed the Secret of our Christification.
Upon the CROSS of the Martyr of Calvary is written the word “INRI.” This word is read thus: IGNIS NATURA RENOVATUR INTEGRAM (FIRE INCESSANTLY RENEWS NATURE).
FIRE renews all; Fire transforms all. “Change the natures, and you shall find what you seek.”
The sea of Fire is the Super-Astral Light, is the Fire of the Verb fecundating the primordial waters, the Universal Semen composed of all the Seminal atoms of the Universe; is the Serpent of fire fecundating the waters of life in the first instant.
That igneous Serpent is our Kundalini, is our Sacred Fire, is our Sexual Fire, with which we must fecundate our chaotic matter, our Christic Semen, so that within those seminal atoms may sprout our inner Universe, our divine powers, the Child God of Bethlehem, the I-CHRIST.
The Super-Astral LIGHT is the Sacred FIRE of the first instant. In that Fire are enclosed all the secrets of existence.
The Fire that fecundated chaotic matter in the dawn of life is now enclosed in our sexual organs, and we must fecundate our Chaos, that is, our Semen, with this Sacred Fire, to engender the Child of Gold of sexual alchemy, the Child of Bethlehem, who today, 1953 years ago, came into the world to save Humanity.
This is the mastership of Fire. FOHAT hisses when it passes from one point to another in zigzag.
FOHAT is the KUNDALINI that goes on passing from one vertebra to another of our Spinal Column, as we Christify ourselves.
Fire is the Super-Astral Light, is the Universal Agent of Life.
“In the dawn of Life “a long trail of Cosmic dust moved and writhed like a Serpent in Space.” “The Spirit of God moving in Chaos.”
All the bodies of the Universe came forth from this act of Sexual Magic; from this union of the Universal masculine and feminine principles.
Let us imitate GOD, so that we may become Gods.
Man and woman must unite sexually and withdraw from the sexual act without spilling the Semen.
Thus the Sacred Fire awakens, with which we fecundate our chaotic matter to create our inner Universe, our I-Christ, the Child God of Bethlehem, whose birth we today celebrate in this Sanctuary with immense joy and rejoicing.
Thus is how the Spirit of God moves in the Chaos.
Our Serpent of Fire moves and writhes amid our seminal Chaos like a trail of terrible fire.
The Super-Astral Light is the Kundalini; the positive pole of that Light creates for Eternal Life. The negative pole of that Light only knows how to engender children for death, children of fornication.
All the Cosmic planes are nothing but scales of the Serpent of Fire, Cosmic dust. Let us liberate ourselves from all those scales, so that we may be born in life free in its movement.
From the union of Joseph and Mary the CHRIST was born, today one thousand nine hundred fifty-three years ago.
From the union of the Father Fire with the Mother Water the Universe was born.
From the union of fornicating men and women, in beds of pleasure, are born men condemned to death and to pain.
Yet, from the union of chaste and pure Men and Women, following the principles of Sexual Magic, instead of engendering children for death, we can engender the Child God of Bethlehem, the I-CHRIST, to ascend to the FATHER and to receive the HOLY SPIRIT, who gives us wisdom and Cosmic powers.
In Fire is found the key to our redemption.
Water is the dwelling of fire, and if we spill that water, we lose the fire. If we tear out the seeds from the earth, the plants do not sprout, and if we tear out the seeds from our philosophical earth, that is, from our human organism, then the Master does not sprout in us.
Sexual Magic is the GREAT ARCANUM, the ARK of NOAH, the ARK of the Covenant.
When the soldiers of Nebuchadnezzar entered the Sancta Sanctorum of the Temple of Solomon, they were terrified upon contemplating the two Cherubim that, touching one another with the tips of the two wings, resembled the sexual attitude of man with woman during copulation.
These two angels of the Ark of the Covenant represent the Genesis of the Universe, men and Gods. This is the ARK of NOAH, swimming in the sexual waters of life. This is the GREAT ARCANUM, which Eliphas Levi never dared to divulge.
This is the terrible unspeakable secret that for eighteen million years had never been publicly divulged.
All those who in Egypt attempted to divulge the GREAT ARCANUM were condemned to death.
All those who wanted to violate this great Secret died; only one man divulged this SECRET and did not die; that man am I, AUN WEOR.
Here I deliver to you the ARK of the Covenant, so that, as in the days of NOAH, you may save yourselves from the Great Cataclysm.
Already in the distance the first bells of the resurrection of AQUARIUS are heard! The Christmas pines are full of glory.
Those who are not prepared will be separated from this evolutive wave, until the luminous cycle of AQUARIUS passes. We are separating the sheep from the goats.
I deliver to you the ARK of the Testimony, so that, as in the days of NOAH, you may save yourselves from the Great Cataclysm.
In AQUARIUS only the people of God will be able to live. Already in the distance the first bells of the resurrection of AQUARIUS resound. The Christmas pines are full of Glory; there is a feast in the heavens, and the angels of the Lord sing: “PEACE to the men of good will.”
MAY PEACE BE WITH THE WHOLE OF HUMANITY.
AUN WEOR.

Chapter Four: CHRISTMAS MESSAGE OF 1954
Given by the venerable Logos-Avatar of the new era of Aquarius: AUN WEOR
Arnolda de Gómez — Venerable Master Litelantes, Wife of the Venerable Master AUN WEOR
This Adept-Lady enjoys continuous consciousness, and through innumerable reincarnations managed to educe and invigorate certain occult faculties which, among other things, allowed her to remember her past lives and the history of the planet and of its races. She has been the esoteric collaborator of the Venerable Master AUN WEOR: She discovered the Jinas states mentioned by Don Mario Roso de Luna and Arnoldo Krumm Heller. She collaborated with Master AUN WEOR in the Scientific investigation of the vegetable elementals that appear in the “TREATISE OF OCCULT MEDICINE.”
This Adept-Lady is one of the 42 Judges of Karma; she is absolutely silent, and since she never makes display of her powers or of her knowledge, the pedants of the epoch have exhausted their slanderous drivel against her. The Guru Litelantes works anonymously and silently in the palace of the Lords of Karma. This Adept-Lady is the twin Soul of the Venerable Master AUN WEOR, and through innumerable reincarnations she has always been the faithful companion of the Master.
This powerful seer has in her mind all the wisdom of the centuries, and with her clairvoyant faculties, she has collaborated with Master AUN WEOR, studying the various elemental departments of Nature.
(See “IGNEOUS ROSE,” and “TREATISE OF OCCULT MEDICINE AND PRACTICAL MAGIC,” by AUN WEOR.)
Preface
When I address the thousands of students of Gnosis, the thousands of sympathizers and readers of the works of the Venerable Master Aun Weor known to date, I do so with utmost joy and with my fervent desire that the reading of this Christmas Message may be for them one more lighthouse of orientation in this stormy squall of existence.
Man, with all his erudition, with his immense knowledge accumulated in the material world and with his immense archive of many centuries of existence, still gropes in everything. The greater his erudition, the greater his doubts; the more securities he takes for the defense of his life and his goods, the greater the setbacks, and today, sunk in the dust of the centuries, he finds himself desolate because he sought everything outside, because he only followed his senses and because he turned away from his own heart.
Man has already tired of hearing talk of morality, of religion, of peace, because the naked reality goes on showing him just the opposite; he has lost faith in his own heart because he has been vilely exploited and deceived, and now, unbridled and uncontainable, he has sought in pleasure and ambition a consolation for his evil and a justification for his existence. Man blesses his own weapons and prepares himself for a final battle, believing that the last one to remain will be the owner of the spoils. Man is at war in his own home, in the bosom of his family and in that of society; man has followed the path of evil and is only now going to reap the fruit that he deserves.
Under these conditions of humanity, the voice of a warrior of light and of love has shown men who still have in their Heart a spark of love for humanity a sure path to save themselves from the storm that approaches, just as Noah (Noenri) did in the epoch of the Universal Flood. In that epoch humanity was punished with water, but in this one it will be punished with fire. John baptized it with water, but Christ shall baptize it with fire.
Gnosis is the knowledge of pure Christianity, and through it we learn to have an exact knowledge of man and of God, of the things of man and of the things of God. This is the bridge laid across the abyss so that we may come out of it. This is the light given to men; this is the manna that falls from heaven. Let us follow the Avatar of Aquarius, let us form the army of light, and thus we shall combat the shadows that have seized the face of the earth and have led man to chaos and to desperation.
MAY PEACE BE WITH THE WHOLE OF HUMANITY.

Christmas Message of 1954
Given by the Logos-Avatar of the New Era of Aquarius: AUN WEOR
Beloved disciples:
Today, after a year of terrible distress and bitterness, we gather again in this SUMMUM SUPREMUM SANCTUARIUM GNÓSTICO of the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta, to celebrate the cosmic event of CHRISTMAS.
I had already spoken to you in previous years about the CHRIST in substance, about the historical CHRIST, about the liquid CHRIST.
Today, my brothers, I come to speak to you about the atomic CHRIST and about the individual CHRISTMAS of each of you.
The Kabbalah speaks to us of the ten Sephiroth. KETHER is the ANCIENT OF DAYS, and each one of you is, in the depths, a blessed Ancient of Days.
KETHER is the FATHER in us, a breath of the ABSOLUTE profoundly unknown to itself.
CHOKMAH is the SON, the atomic CHRIST in us.
BINAH is the Mother in us, the HOLY SPIRIT in us.
KETHER, CHOKMAH, and BINAH is our SEPHIROTHIC CROWN. The most beloved FATHER, the most adored SON, and the most wise HOLY SPIRIT, live amid the depths of our superlative consciousness, awaiting the supreme instant of our realization.
The HOLY SPIRIT is our divine MOTHER. The MOTHER wears a blue mantle and a white tunic of exquisite splendors.
The MOTHER carries in her hand a precious lamp; that lamp is the INNERMOST that burns in the depths of our hearts. The INNERMOST is contained in a vessel of fine and transparent alabaster. That vessel is our own superlative consciousness, is our BUDDHI.
The INNERMOST is the Sephirah CHESED; the BUDDHI is the Sephirah GEBURAH. The INNERMOST and the BUDDHI express themselves through the HUMAN SOUL (CAUSAL EGO or HIGHER MANAS).
The Human Soul is TIPHERETH, the WILL, the BEAUTY…
Thus, the INNERMOST with its two Souls — the Divine and the Human — officiates upon his throne, which is the Cerebral-Spinal Nervous System.
The INNERMOST is crowned with the SEPHIROTHIC CROWN.
The INNERMOST dwells in his temple. The temple of the INNERMOST has two columns: JACHIN and BOAZ. JACHIN is the MIND. BOAZ is the Astral body.
The Mind is the Sephirah NETZACH. The Astral is the Sephirah HOD.
These two columns of the temple are sustained upon the cubic stone of YESOD. That cubic stone also serves as foundation for the Kingdom of MALKUTH.
That cubic stone is the Etheric body. MALKUTH is the physical body.
Thus, man is a complete decade. We have ten fingers on the hands, ten Sephiroth, and ten Commandments.
When the ANCIENT OF DAYS has realized the ten Sephiroth in himself, he is transformed into ADAM-KADMON, the celestial man.
He who realizes the ten Sephiroth in himself shines forth in the world of LIGHT with ineffable Christic splendors.
When the ANCIENT OF DAYS realizes the ten Sephiroth, then these Sephiroth shine like precious gems, like resplendent stones, on the body of the ANCIENT OF DAYS.
“He that hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the TREE OF LIFE, which is in the midst of the PARADISE of GOD.”
The ten Sephiroth shine like precious stones on the body of the ANCIENT OF DAYS.
Thus is how we become the heavenly Jerusalem.
“And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was Jasper; the second Sapphire; the third Chalcedony; the fourth Emerald.”
“The fifth Sardonyx; the sixth Sardius; the seventh Chrysolyte; the eighth Beryl; the ninth Topaz; the tenth Chrysoprasus; the eleventh Jacinth; the twelfth Amethyst.”
The ten Sephiroth are atomic. The ten Sephiroth are the holy city, the Jerusalem that comes to shine forth in the depth of our heart.
“In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.”
“And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him.”
“And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.”
“And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord GOD giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.”
When man incarnates in himself his SEPHIROTHIC CROWN, then the ANCIENT OF DAYS shall give him light, and he shall reign for ever and ever.
Yet, Brothers of my Soul, truly I say unto you that no one comes to the FATHER except through the SON. The SON is the atomic CHRIST in us; he is CHOKMAH, the divine Christic Wisdom, the GNOSIS that shines forth in the depth of our Heart.
We must flood all our vehicles with atoms of Christic nature; we must form CHRIST in us in order to ascend to the FATHER, because no one comes to the FATHER except through the Son.
Even if CHRIST be born a thousand times in Bethlehem, it is of no use if he is not born in our heart also.
One must form the I-CHRIST in us in order to enter through the gates of the triumphant and victorious city, on Palm Sunday.
CHRISTMAS is a Cosmic event that must be realized in each of us. CHRISTMAS is absolutely individual. There is need for the I-CHRIST to be born in us; the CHRISTMAS of the heart is urgent.
One must transform the Tree of the Knowledge of good and evil into the immolated Lamb of the Holy City.
“Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out.”
“Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.”
“I am the bread of life, I am the living bread; he that eats my flesh and drinks my blood shall have eternal life and I will resurrect him. He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood dwells in me and I in him.”
I feel immensely blessed to find myself gathered here with you to celebrate the cosmic feast of CHRISTMAS.
The Christmas pines are full of glory, and the choirs of angels beg peace for the men of good will.
Today we celebrate the banquet of the Paschal Lamb on the Altar of Peter.
Today we all congratulate ourselves and rejoice in this temple, to celebrate the most grandiose event of world history.
Today, one thousand nine hundred fifty-four years ago, was born in a manger the most perfect Being that has trodden our planet.
CHRIST is truly a SEPHIROTHIC CROWN of immeasurable wisdom, whose purest atoms shine forth in CHOKMAH, the world of OPHANIM.
That SEPHIROTHIC CROWN sent its BUDDHA, JESUS of Nazareth, who through innumerable reincarnations prepared himself in our terrestrial evolution.
It was in the Jordan that the resplendent Christic Crown, the SOLAR LOGOS, penetrated into his BUDDHA, Jesus of Nazareth.
Behold the mystery of the double human personality, one of the greatest mysteries of Occultism.
When man receives his Sephirothic Crown, then the Ancient of Days illumines him and leads him to the pure waters of life.
Yet, my Brothers, no one reaches the FATHER except through the SON, and the SON is in the depth of the Ark of the Covenant, awaiting the moment of realization.
That Ark of the Covenant is the sexual organs.
Only through perfect Chastity can we form the CHRIST in us and ascend to the FATHER.
My brothers, I have already delivered to you the Ark of the New Testament. I have already taught you the path of Sexual Magic.
“Then the temple of GOD was opened in Heaven, and there was seen in his temple the Ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.”
MAY PEACE BE WITH YOU.
AUN WEOR.

Chapter Five: SUPREME CHRISTMAS MESSAGE 1955
DECEMBER 24, 1955
BY THE VENERABLE MASTER SAMAEL AUN WEOR
Initiator of the New Era of Aquarius
The Teachings
We are authentic Christians because we follow the doctrine of our Lord Christ, but in practice. The esoteric-Christic wisdom gives us the key to complete the course as men on earth and leads us from the human to the divine with disconcerting simplicity. We understand this wisdom because we faithfully fulfill the commandments of the Law of God. We put into practice the teachings of the Savior, Our Lord; and we make ourselves chaste, pure, and simple, thus attaining a comprehension that those persons full of pride and vanity do not attain — those who use reason and intellect as superior means of orientation and whose compass-north consists of their own interests.
Christ showed us the path of the heart, that is, the path of love, and bequeathed us the esoteric Christic doctrine to attain divine wisdom; and we know it because we have verified it and have removed the heaviest burdens from our shoulders. Everyone who follows this holy doctrine in practice becomes in fact a Cyrenean of the great crucified one. We, out of love for humanity, fight so that humanity may receive these teachings.
So great is the prevailing confusion that people already aspire to a total change for humanity; but it is also true that when the divine wisdom — which is the only thing that can totally change this state of things — is presented to men as a plank of salvation, they then react furiously, they are scandalized by the good; the fact is that people believe that there can be improvement without their being resolved to abandon their vices and evils, their hatreds and passions, and the horrible fornication that served as the basis of the present moral structure of humanity. But how foolish men are; they do not know that when a Cosmic Law enters into action those oppositions serve nothing; today the prevailing confusion is evident proof of punishment because “when the Gods wish to punish men, they first confuse them.”
Nirvana has periods of activity and periods of profound repose; since February 9, 1919, at 3:40 PM, Nirvana entered into activity. Now Nirvana is active. Now the hierarchies of Nirvana are struggling to make humanity return to the great light. Our movement works in close collaboration with Nirvana to make humanity return to the great light.
Within human beings, Nirvana too has periods of activity and periods of profound repose. In Master Blavatsky Nirvana became active from the time she reached mature age. Samael renounced Nirvana from very ancient Mahamvantaras; he renounced the ineffable bliss of Nirvana and took the direct path to the Absolute, which is the hard and bitter duty; and among the seven spirits before the throne, Samael is the one who has suffered most.
To our brothers on this path of light we counsel that when the tempters speak to them of “that religion of yours,” “your ideas,” “the theories,” “your follies” and so many other epithets they use to mortify them, let them with love say: “The Teachings”; perhaps thus a ray of light may enter into those people full of shadows and rancor. These teachings are divine, and all our holy predecessors had to pay with blood for having offered their light to humanity; they were always persecuted and exterminated, and he who came to preach it publicly was murdered. We have the soul of apostles, and we know how to bear with patience the adversities and weaknesses of our neighbors out of love for humanity and for the souls who anxiously seek the light.
May peace be with the whole of humanity.

Chapter Six: SUPREME MESSAGE OF CHRISTMAS 1955
By the Great Avatar of AQUARIUS: SAMAEL AUN WEOR
My brothers:
Today, 1955 years ago, was born in this manger of the World, the Child GOD of Bethlehem. It was already written by the prophet:
“And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.”
My little children: You already know, brothers of my soul, that within yourselves, in the depth of your consciousness, the INNERMOST dwells. You already know it: I myself had taught it to you.
Now I want you to know that the INNERMOST, with all his greatness and with all his majesty, is no more than the Firstborn Son of the I-CHRIST.
THE I-CHRIST is the Crown of life. He is our resplendent dragon of wisdom; he is our divine BEING. He is the I AM, from whom the INNERMOST himself emanated.
“This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.”
“I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”
“Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
“For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.”
“He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.”
Our I-CHRIST is our Real BEING, our Sephirothic Crown, the Crown of life, from whom the INNERMOST emanated.
“Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.”
The soul that raises its seven Serpents upon the Rod receives the Crown of Life.
The soul that clothes itself with the seven tongues of Fire of Pentecost receives the Crown of life.
“And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.”
This woman is every Soul that has received the HOLY SPIRIT.
This woman is every Soul that has raised its Seven Serpents upon the rod, as Moses did in the wilderness.
He who ignites all his Sexual Fires girds upon his temples the Crown of twelve Stars. He opens his twelve senses totally and is transformed into an angel.
“And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.”
“And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto GOD, and to his throne.”
The Soul ignites all its Sexual Fires; it brings forth a man child, its I-CHRIST, which is ONE with the FATHER.
The Soul that ignites its Fires receives the Crown of Life. That is the Christmas of the Heart.
CHRIST will have been born uselessly in Bethlehem if he is not born in our heart also.
The Sun that gives us light is only a slice detached from the SPIRITUAL CENTRAL SUN. The Central Sun is the Great Breath emanated from the absolute, the army of the voice, the COSMIC CHRIST, the Hosts of the Dawn of Creation, THE VERB.
Our I-CHRIST is the VERB. He who manages to incarnate the I-CHRIST becomes a CHRIST.
In the union of the Phallus and the Uterus is enclosed the key of all power. Thus is how the Verb becomes flesh in us.
“That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.”
“John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.”
When man and woman learn to withdraw from the sexual act without ejaculating the seminal liquor, they receive the Sacred Fire of Pentecost and prepare themselves to incarnate the WORD.
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with GOD, and the Word was GOD. The same was in the beginning with GOD.”
All things were made by him, and without HIM was not anything made that was made.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
“And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”
MAY PEACE BE WITH SUFFERING HUMANITY.

Chapter Seven: MESSAGE FOR OCTOBER 27, 1955
By the Great Avatar SAMAEL AUN WEOR
Beloved disciples:
Today the first anniversary of my Spiritual birth is fulfilled.
At this moment I am organizing the Salvadoran Gnostic Movement.
Our Gnostic banner waves victoriously in Panama, Costa Rica, and El Salvador. We have achieved great victories, and our Christic forces advance on all the fronts of battle.
After having received my real Being, I learned that the Seven Columns of the Temple of Wisdom are double. There exist 7 Serpents of Fire and 7 Serpents of Light. I had already raised my 7 Serpents of Fire. Now I am raising my seven serpents of light. Fortunately I have already raised that of the physical body, and I only await a Great Cosmic Initiation. Then I shall continue with that of the Etheric, and thus successively the inner Christ shall shine forth totally in his seven vehicles. Thus is how we become Christs. Thus is how the inner Master is absorbed totally into his Bodhisattva.
Thus, I Samael, one of the seven Spirits before the Throne, have incarnated in my Bodhisattva to do the Great Work of the Father.
The first Race was directed by Gabriel; the second by Raphael; the third by Uriel; the fourth by Michael, and the fifth, which is ours, is directed by Samael.
I have reincarnated now to initiate the Aquarian Era of the Aryan Race. My predecessors also reincarnated in their corresponding epochs.
In the Sixth Race, Zachariel will reincarnate, and in the Seventh, Orifiel.
These are the 7 angels who sound the 7 trumpets at the catastrophic end of each of the 7 Races.
Read tonight chapters 8 and 9 of the Apocalypse. I am the fifth angel, the Star that fell from Heaven to the earth, and which has the key of the bottomless pit. Meditate on (Revelation 9:1-12). I Am the rider of Chapter 19 of the Apocalypse, and the angel who has the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand, as it is written in (Revelation 20:1-3).
Tonight consult the Sacred Scriptures. I, as Bodhisattva, rolled through the centuries, preparing myself for this moment. Thus, we are fulfilling a gigantic mission.
Receive the effluvia of my heart, and may Peace be with you.
(Signed:)

Chapter Eight: CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FOR THE YEAR 1956
The Kalki Avatar of the New Aquarian Era SAMAEL AUN WEOR
Most beloved:
Today, on this Christmas night, I wish to rejoice with you in meditating on Our Lord the Christ.
1956 years ago the Master was born, and still poor suffering humanity does not know who Christ is. Come, my little children: let us meditate on the Lord.
“I AM Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” “Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the Tree of Life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.” (Revelation 22:13-14)
Let us reflect on the I AM. Let us pray, my little children; Prayer brings us ever closer to the I AM. Let us keep the commandments of the Lord so that our potency may be in the Tree of Life. Know, beloved, that the Tree of Life is the BEING, the INNERMOST. Know, beloved, that the I AM is the Glorious crown of the BEING. The I AM is the crown of life. The Apocalypse warns us thus: “Be faithful unto death, and I will give thee the crown of life.”
The I AM is the INNER CHRIST. The LIGHT that ENLIGHTENS EVERY MAN that comes into this world. The INNERMOST is none other than the Son of the I AM. The I AM is our resplendent Dragon of Wisdom. Our SEPHIROTHIC crown. That Ray from which the INNERMOST himself emanated: The Inner Christ. Know, Beloved, that the Christ is not an individual. The Christ is an Army. The Army of the Voice, The Verb. Christ is a multiple unity. An impersonal Army. The Army of the word. Each of us, in the depths, is a soldier of the Army of the Voice. The I AM of each of us belongs to the ranks of the Army of the Voice.
Christ is the Solar Logos. I want you to understand that the Solar Logos is not an individual. The Solar Logos is an Army. The Verb, The Great Word, The Logos, is a perfect multiple unity. Christ is the Logos. Christ is a perfect multiple unity; in the world of the Lord there is no individuality, no personality, no I. In the Christ we are all ONE. In HIM there are no HIERARCHICAL differences.
If a mystic in a state of ecstasy were to abandon all his seven vehicles to investigate in his I AM the life of Christ Jesus, he would suffer a terrible surprise. He would see himself transformed into Jesus of Nazareth. He would see himself preaching the Sermon on the Mount and performing miracles and wonders in the Holy Land. He would see himself transformed into Jesus Christ. This phenomenon is due to the fact that in the world of Christ there is no individuality nor personality. In HIM we are all ONE.
It is necessary to become the dwelling of the Lord. It is urgent to build the Church of the Lord. It is indispensable to found that Inner Church upon the living rock. That rock is sex.
Do not build upon the sand, for you will lose your work. Those who practice sexual magic build upon the living stone. Those who build upon the sand are the fornicators and all those who hate and despise sex. That is the philosopher’s stone of the alchemists. Upon that stone we must build our Church for the I AM.
Do not forget that the Temple of Wisdom has seven columns. Those are the seven degrees of the Power of fire. Raise the seven columns of fire. Then the Christmas of the heart will come, and HE will enter the heart-temple of each of you to work in the great work. That IS THE CHRISTMAS OF THE HEART.
Before Jesus, some incarnated him. After Jesus, some of us have incarnated him. In the future, many will incarnate him. In Egypt Christ was Osiris. He who had incarnated him was an OSIRIFIED one. Thus, he who incarnates him is a Christified one.
If you wish to incarnate him, build his Church. That is the Will of the Father.
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.”
“Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?”
“And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”
“Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock.”
“And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.”
“And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand.” (Religious theories, orders, lodges, schools, intellectualisms, etc.)
“And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.” (Matthew 7:21-25, 27)

Chapter Nine: NEW YEAR MESSAGE 1957
By the Kalki Avatar of the New Aquarian Era SAMAEL AUN WEOR
Universal Gnostic Movement, Summum Supremum Sanctuarium, Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta
Preface
Nineteen fifty-seven (1957) marks the first five-year period of activity of the now powerful Universal Revolutionary Gnostic Movement, at whose head marches victoriously our Venerable Master of Wisdom, Avatar of Aquarius, Samael Aun Weor.
At the beginning of the year 1950 his first written work appeared, “The Perfect Marriage, or Gateway to Initiation.” This work marks the foundation or basic stone of the written knowledge we have obtained from the Master; its appearance caused a true uproar, not only among spiritualists and mystical-religious communities but also in the minds of all those persons into whose hands the work came by chance. At the time of the appearance of this work, the religious-philosophical communities, as well as all political and social tendencies, entered forced recess, because the free expression of speech was a crime and therefore they saw themselves under the necessity not only of remaining silent but also of dispersing to avoid persecution; in these conditions, our first work “The Perfect Marriage” appeared.
Both our friends and adversaries trembled with fright upon learning of the work and even felt that they would share in the persecution they imagined we would be subject to, by the mere fact of having read the work; and their cowardice made them come to us with demonstrations of every sort. The closest considered it madness to have launched this work into circulation in those delicate political moments, but we could not partake in all those street-corner fears, in that lack of virility, in that lack of courage; the order received from the Venerable White Lodge was to launch that message into public knowledge, and so we did, without taking into account the prevailing fear or the wrongs that were daily committed against our fellow citizens.
Many times I heard our Master say: “The White Lodge is in haste,” “it is indispensable that suffering humanity know this message, cost what it may,” and so we did. The appearance of the work produced a tremendous commotion; those who did not understand it qualified it as pornographic and as the product of unhinged minds; for others it has been like a blessing from heaven, since they put its teachings into practice, and a new world opened to their understanding. Thus they have managed to break a new shell, and a wider world of vaster horizons was placed before their sight. The life of the common man is analogous to the life of a chick that has not broken the shell that imprisons it; a broader world is presented to its sight.
“The Perfect Marriage” contains many prophecies; all of them must be fulfilled to bear witness to the mission entrusted. The second work that came out immediately was “The Revolution of Bel,” which marks the true beginning of Social disarray, since with the fall of Bel a link of the powerful chain that imprisoned terrestrial man was broken. With the conversion of Bel the shadows trembled, and the prevailing materialism received the strongest blow; it produced the consequent demoralization in the shadowy hosts, and many brothers of the shadow followed the example of Bel; all this is having its repercussion in the physical world, and explained in detail in the cited work.
Therefore, kings and rulers will now fall; the exploiters of all beliefs will fall; and in the world of business the great Trusts will fall, and triumphant capitalism will suffer great reverses. All this order of things will change, and there will be war between East and West for the good of humanity; thus has said the Lord Jehovah.
The slanderous commentary at the beginning and the empty and unfounded conjectures of the beginning have been disappearing, and today the teaching is seen with clarity. Upon the fulfillment of this first five-year period in which the Holy Gnostic Church entered into activity, our Venerable Master sends us his first New Year Message, like all of his, full of wisdom and of terrible sentences, which must necessarily be fulfilled to bear faithful witness that he speaks in the name of heaven.
In this first five-year period of spiritual activity many are the works on the divulgation of Gnosis that the Master has written; those works number over 20; those works contain a complete information for all those souls thirsty for light who seek the path of liberation, the Master teaching us that that path is in sex. The gnostic wisdom teaches us practically; we become practical in what we know; we realize in ourselves each teaching, and we learn to touch, see, and feel what we know.
We teach that the fundamental basis of the Christic esotericism is in chastity, in scientific chastity, and scientific chastity teaches us the transmutation of our seed, just as was taught in the work “The Perfect Marriage.” When the devotee of the path practices scientific chastity, he activates an Alchemical transmutation, and thus converts his seed into light and fire; he who abandons the terrible vice of fornication and enters by the path of chastity cannot return to his old system, because he tumbles into the abyss.
Through chastity the disciple is gradually filled with light and fire, and gradually develops his intuition, understanding everything at the instant; hence our interest that all the devotees of the path resolve to realize themselves in depth, so that they may cease to be slaves. The fornicators try to impress the devotees of the path when these speak of the advantages of chastity, telling them that the Bible says: “Grow and Multiply”; “How then is that to be understood?”
The fornicators understand the Bible according to their convenience, for Jehovah never said to Adam and to Eve “Be fruitful and Multiply”; rather, according to the biblical teaching, the Lord Jehovah said this to Adam when he made him male-female, that is, when he made him androgynous, when the separation into sexes had not yet arrived. Tell them that Jehovah said that to Adam when he created him, and not to Adam and Eve when they were already in paradise and the couple existed. These mysteries are not known except by the initiates; for the outsider that becomes a contradiction.
1950 marked a new beginning for our human species. Man has now completed his course as human, and now it falls to him to do the angelic course; we are at the moment of transition; therefore our Master says that the New Era is a birth of Nature and that every birth is painful.
With the breaking of the great chain of the shadows, with the link that was broken with the conversion of Beelzebub, disorder was implanted among the shadowy hosts, and very many hierarchs of the shadows followed the example of Bel; this has motivated a true revolution; all this will bring as a consequence the breaking of all this social scaffolding, and of this rotten civilization not one stone will be left upon another; the current economic system will fall, the great enterprises will suffer a total overthrow, the great powers will dismantle one another, and more than half of the present humanity will perish in this half century, because the sentence of the Gods upon judging the great harlot (present humanity) was: “To the abyss, to the abyss.” The epoch of considerations is over, and in vain will men beg and offer holocausts to the Lord, because man corrupted himself and has no authority to ask of heaven; nor do the idols of men have power to intervene in the things of Heaven.
Summum Supremum Sanctuarium.
JULIO MEDINA V.
The Powerful International Universal Gnostic Movement Sends to All the Heroic Combatants of the Gnostic Army the Following Message:
Soon there will be war between East and West, for the good of humanity, thus says the lord Jehovah. The day nor the hour no one knows, except the Father who is in heaven. The evil of the world has been bipolarized into two great opposing tendencies: Capitalism and Communism. The Western capitalist forces are of luciferic order. The Eastern communist forces are of Ahrimanic-demoniacal order. Soon these two monsters of East and West will hurl themselves into battle and destroy one another.
It is necessary to burn the evil of the world with fire to initiate the new Aquarian Era. Listen, gnostic soldiers. The New Aquarian Era is a birth of Nature, and every birth is painful. Before the new Aquarian Era is initiated, all the countries of the earth will have to pay their great Karmic debts. This poor suffering humanity will have to climb a great Golgotha. The hour has come of the great desolation foreseen by Daniel the Prophet: Fallen is, fallen is great Babylon, the mother of all the fornications and of all the abominations of the earth. The moon will bring illnesses, epidemics, and miseries to the GREAT HARLOT whose number is 666.
Mercury will bring its science of war which is converted into blood. Venus will bring weeping and desolation to all the homes of the earth. The Sun will destroy the great cities with living fire. Mars will hurl men to the battlefields, and to the abyss. Jupiter will dethrone the kings and magistrates to prepare the path for the kings of the Inner East, and Saturn will reap with his scythe billions of human lives.
When all this has happened, then the new Aquarian Era will shine forth amid the august thundering of thought.
Arcanum 22 (Foolishness) now enters to govern the new year of 1957. Truly horrible things are to be expected in the year 1957. Do not forget, gnostic brothers, that Hitler hurled himself into war with this same disastrous arcanum 22. The new Aquarian Era will be initiated in blood and fire. This is not a matter of uniting little schools, lodges, and so on, as many persons believe. The New Aquarian Era is a birth of Nature and every birth is painful.
At these moments East and West are preparing themselves for battle. Spain will pass through a total transformation. The East will come out victorious. Europe will be Sovietized. Later, in America there will be a great confederation of states. In the year 2018 even simple flashlights will be atomic. By the year 2500 in all the cities there will be stations of interplanetary ships. Inhabitants of other planets of the solar system will come, and will teach man to build the flying spheres. Then, in Aquarius, humanity will be able to visit all the planets of the solar system. That will be an extra help that will be given to this terrestrial humanity.
Know, gnostic brothers, that not all human beings will be able to live in physical body in Aquarius. The great White Lodge is at these instants selecting the personnel. In Aquarius only the souls that do not bear the mark of the beast on the forehead and on the hands will be able to reincarnate. An age of light among the wicked would be impossible. The human personnel must be carefully selected.
Jesus the Christ certainly and truly resurrected from among the dead on the third day, and lives in the Shamballa of eastern Tibet. There he lives with his same resurrected physical body. There he has his temple, and he will come to fulfill a great mission during the zenith of Aquarius. When the Sun enters the constellation of Capricorn (the age of the Holy Spirit), the shadowy souls will be given the last opportunity to define themselves in flesh and bone for the White Lodge or the Black; for Christ or for Yahweh.
The use and abuse of atomic energy will at last awaken the sleeping forces of the volcanoes, and our Aryan race will end amid great earthquakes, tidal waves, and frightful cataclysms. Later the sixth race will flourish, the race of Koradhi on the Continent of the Antarctic, and then the divine Master will return after Zachariel the great illuminated one. Finally, Orifiel will come, and at the end of the seventh race Jesus the Christ will return. Orifiel will be the great illuminated one of the seventh race, and Jesus the Christ will confirm his teachings.
Listen, men and women who read this message. Jesus was not the Avatar of Pisces; the Avatar of Pisces was John the Baptist. Jesus is not an Avatar; Jesus is something more; Jesus is the Savior of the World. Jesus brought us the doctrine of the I AM. The I AM is the only one that can save us. Jesus in none of the four gospels said (as do the brothers of all schools, lodges, and spiritualist orders) that there were many paths to reach liberation.
It is necessary that you all understand at these moments the secret doctrine of the Lord. The Master said: “I AM” the way, the truth, and the life. I AM the light of the world. Know that we are going to initiate the age of the I AM. The I AM is the Crown of Life. The Crown of Justice. The Sephirothic Crown. That ray from which the Monad emanated, the INNERMOST. That original logoic ray of every man. Our divine Augoides. Our resplendent Dragon of Wisdom. The Verb. The Inner Christ of every man. The Apocalypse says: “Be faithful unto death, and I will give thee the crown of life.” That crown of life is the I AM. The Inner Christ of every man.
It is necessary that you know that He is the way, the truth, and the life. He is our RESPLENDENT “I AM.” Christ is a perfect multiple unity. Christ is the Solar Logos. Christ is not an individual. In the world of Christ there is no famous I, not even individuality. In HIM we are all ONE. In him there are no hierarchical differences. Jesus incarnated his I AM. Before Jesus, some incarnated him; after Jesus, some of us have incarnated him; in the future sign of Aquarius many will incarnate him.
Aquarius is the age of Christ; he who incarnates him is then HE, HE, HE. HE is the only path of Salvation. Build the church of the lord. Build upon the living stone. That stone is sex. By awakening the Kundalini you will build the church for the “I AM”; then you will incarnate him. The key to awakening the Kundalini is Sexual Magic. Men and women, perform the sexual act, and withdraw without spilling the semen ever. That is the key of the Great Arcanum. Thus you will awaken the spinal fires of the Holy Spirit and build the temple for your I AM; sanctify yourselves. Do not enter any woman other than your wife. Prepare yourselves for Aquarius.
INVERENTIAL PEACE.

By SAMAEL AUN WEOR
Kalki Avatar of the New Aquarian Era
Great National and World Delegate of ALAS
Plenipotentiary Ambassador of ALAS accredited before the UN and before the Organization of American States
Founder of the International Universal Gnostic Movement
Most beloved:
We are in feast: The star of Bethlehem shines forth in the heavens of the inner east of the soul. The aroma of the Pines radiates here in the regions of the north a delicious fragrance! How beautiful! It is the perfume of friendship, and the fragrance of sincerity.
My children, let us raise our Chalice, and Pray.
The star of Bethlehem is the seal of Solomon. The six points of the star are masculine. The six deep indentations that are formed between point and point are feminine. (In short, this star has twelve rays.) Six masculine, six feminine. In them are summed up and synthesized the mysteries of the arcanum A.Z.F. (Sexual Magic).
The seal of Solomon. The Christmas star is the perfect symbol of the central sun. (The Cosmic Christ, perfect multiple unity.) The Child God can never be born in the heart of man without the radiance and the life of the brilliant Christmas star. One must work with the arcanum A.Z.F. in order to incarnate him.
In the seal of Solomon are summed up all the zodiacal measures; the twelve rays of the brilliant star crystallize through Alchemy in the twelve zodiacal constellations. In the seal of Solomon are written the intimate relations that exist between the zodiac and the invincible central sun. The Genesis of the zodiac’s sexuality is represented in the seal of Solomon. The venerable master of light Hilariux IX, speaking of the brilliant star, said: “It is the basic form of all crystallizations and the schematic model of all florescences.”
“Its two triangles, which love joins or separates, are the shuttles with which the ineffable mystery of eternal life is woven and unwoven.” “Above the Most Holy Eternity, which acts as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.” “Below its counterpart with the power that governs, the power that deliberates, and the power that executes.” “I am the resplendent morning star,” exclaims John, the “Beloved” of Christ, upon receiving from his own hands the Venustic initiation.
“And so each time the eternal geometer fixes his attention on a point in space, at that point arises the glorious star, announcing the birth of a new state of consciousness. The archetype of a Being, a globe, a star, a sun.” (Fourth Message of the Avatar ASHRAMA.)
“And the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.” Melchior, Gaspar, and Balthazar, the three Magi Kings, were guided by the brilliant star, and Jesus was born of water and of fire, amid the radiance of the brilliant star of Bethlehem.
Jesus was born of water and of fire. Therefore he is master. If Jesus had not been born of water and of fire, then he would not be master. Jesus practiced with the arcanum A.Z.F. (Sexual Magic). Jesus gave testimony of this truth, saying: “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen (what we have experienced); and ye receive not our witness.” (John 3:11)
Everything Jesus rejected remained child of refuse, child of darkness, accursed. He rejected Judas, and in fact Judas remained accursed. If Jesus had rejected sex, the Christmas star would not have appeared to the Initiate Kings.
Sex would have remained accursed, and as the whole of humanity is a child of sex, the whole of humanity would have remained under malediction. Then Jesus would not have been the savior, but the condemner of the world.
“And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up.” (John 3:14)
We need to descend into the ninth sphere (Sex), to work with water and fire, origin of worlds, beasts, men, and gods; every authentic white initiation begins there (in sex). We need to be born of water and of fire. We need to lift up the Son of Man within ourselves.
Know, brothers, that the resplendent and luminous I AM wishes to enter the soul of man.
When the I AM enters the soul, it is transformed into Her and becomes the Son of Man. He is transformed into Her, and She into Him.
Thus is born the Christ in the Heart of Man. Thus was born the Savior of the World, from water and from fire.
“Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” (John 3:5)
The water is the Semen, and the Spirit is the Sacred Fire.
“That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” “Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” (John 3:6-7)
We must be born anew. We must raise the Serpent. We must raise the Son of Man within ourselves.
“Behold Ormus, Osiris, Chur, The Lamb, The Christ. The Ancient of Days. The Man of Time and of the River Sung of by Daniel.”
The I AM transformed in the soul is The Son of Man. The New Man. The Celestial man of Saint Paul. Adam Kadmon. The Man-Sun. King Sun. The Star Crucified on The Cross. The Christ of the ABRAXAS, the Christ of the Essenes. The Cosmic Christ, whose symbol is the Star of Bethlehem.
“And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.” (John 3:13)
This Verse 13 signifies death, “This is the Arcanum 13. Death.”
“The Human I must die. It did not come from Heaven. It cannot go to Heaven. It must die Crucified. “Only the Son of Man ascends to Heaven, because he descended from Heaven.”
“He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” (John 3:18)
Jesus is the Savior of the world, because he brought us the I AM, the Inner Christ, The Light that illuminates every man that comes into the world.
The Sanctum Sanctorum of the Temple of Solomon signifies Sex.
There was the Ark of the Covenant. The Great Arcanum 22. Within the Ark was “Jod,” or the Flowered Rod of Aaron, symbol of the Phallus; and the “BE,” the Cup, the Gomor, symbol of the Uterus, containing the Manna of the Christic Wisdom.
There in the Ark were also the tablets of the Law.
If Jesus had rejected Sex, the Sanctum Sanctorum of the Temple would have remained accursed.
The Ark of the Testimony would have remained wrapped in the shadows of the abyss, and the mysteries of the Holy Spirit would have remained profaned.
Then Jesus would have been the condemner of the World. Yet this was not so: “For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” (John 3:17)
Those who dehumanized Jesus insulted the Holy Spirit. Jesus is the Son of Man. He is Man and is God. Jesus was born of water and of fire. Jesus practiced with the Arcanum A.Z.F. in the Pyramid of Khafre. When Jesus attained the Venustic Initiation, he incarnated the Christ, there in the Jordan. From then on Jesus was called Jesus Christ.
He is the Savior of the World. He was born amid the Splendors of the Brilliant Christmas Star. “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” “John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.” “And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.” (John 1:14-16)
We can all Incarnate him. Grace for Grace, because of his Plenitude we all receive. To him who knows, the word gives power; no one pronounced it, no one will pronounce it except he who has it Incarnate.
He is our Crown of Justice, that Particular Ray of every Man, that Ray from which the Spirit of Man emanated.
My brothers:
I long for you Merry Christmases.
May the Star of Bethlehem Shine forth on Your Path.

PEACE TO THE MEN OF GOOD WILL.

New Year Message 1958
INVERENTIAL PEACE
Most beloved brothers of all schools, religions, and sects.
In the name of the 13 glories of the ancient of days I address you.
A gigantic gnostic triangle has been formed on the American continent.
The Gnostic Movement, the A.L.A.S. Movement, and the orientalist esoteric movement ARYAVARTA ASHRAMA associated and united totally to initiate the new Aquarian era amid the august thundering of thought.
In the name of the great universal verb of life, we make a great call to all the schools, religions, and sects of the entire world to associate with the great international universal cultural triangle, without distinctions of sects, races, creeds, caste, or color.
Within this gigantic triangle there is room for all beliefs, all schools, all sects.
This triangle is not against anyone. This gigantic triangle is not against any school, religion, or sect.
All the schools, religions, and sects must come to the great triangle to study at a round table all the social, economic, and political problems that threaten the life of all the religions and beliefs.
The sacred triangle does not dispute others’ beliefs. The triangle respects all ideas and all cults. The triangle only wishes to study at a round table all the problems that endanger our sacred institutions.
The communist danger is threatening the life of all religious organizations.
The moment has come for all the schools, organizations, and religions to unite within the perfect triangle for the following ends:
To defend ourselves from the communist danger.
To collaborate with our democratic governments in the struggle against communism.
To study at a round table all the economic and social problems of the world.
To fight for an intensive, planned economy respecting all democratic order.
With these four fundamental points we are going to prove to the atheist communists that God can do more than men, and that all religions, schools, and sects united, without hatreds and without fanaticisms, constitute a tremendous force, a terrible force, a gigantic power with which we can solve the great economic and political problem of the entire world.
We are going to prove to the followers of materialism that the religious organizations can not only solve the problems of the soul, but that we can also do away with hunger and misery and with the barbarous distinctions of class, race, and color.
We are going to make a new world. We are going to establish Christian democracy throughout the face of the earth.

Christmas Message of the Year 1958-1959
BY SAMAEL AUN WEOR
Kalki Avatar of the New Aquarian Era
This message is dedicated to AGLA.
Most beloved:
1958 years ago, our Adorable Savior who has so loved us was born in a humble manger of Bethlehem. The Adorable One seems like an anguished Mother seeking her little children. He brought us the doctrine of salvation, and human beings have not wished to understand it.
Most beloved: let us meditate, let us pray. If you want the Christmas of the heart, you will have to descend into the ninth sphere to work with fire and water, origin of Worlds, Beasts, Men, and Gods. With just reason HILARIUX IX said: “Every authentic White Initiation begins there.”
We need the Christmas of the Heart; one must descend into the lit forge of VULCAN to behead the PRINCE OF THIS WORLD with the flaming sword of Perseus.
Most beloved: remember that incessant evolution is nothing but a process of complication of life. We need the revolution of consciousness.
When we behead and dissolve the PRINCE OF THIS WORLD, then the LAMB enters the soul and is transformed into her. He is transformed into her and she is transformed into him. He humanizes himself; she divinizes herself. From this marvelous mixture, from this Divine and human symbiosis, comes that which our Adorable SAVIOR with such accuracy calls THE SON OF MAN. THAT IS THE REVOLUTION OF CONSCIOUSNESS. We need to raise THE SON OF MAN WITHIN OURSELVES.
Please, beloved, I beg you to reflect a little; all of you have read something about the three Guardians of the Threshold. It is well that you know that those three shadowy Guardians of the immense region constitute what our Adorable One called THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD. That is the black Dragon of three heads. Behold Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. (Study the whole of chapter 16 of the book Numbers of the Old Testament.) Remember (Revelation 16:13): “And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.”
These words correspond to verse 13, to arcanum 13, death. One must behead and dissolve the PRINCE OF THIS WORLD to incarnate the Lamb; that is the Christmas of the heart. Our astral, mental, and causal bodies are controlled by those three unclean spirits of whom the Apocalypse speaks; those three demons are the PRINCE OF THIS WORLD, the PSYCHOLOGICAL I, the EGO, the MYSELF. We need to behead Satan; only thus does the Christmas of the heart come.
When the death of every human being comes, something endures; that something is the thought. Truly the thought of the deceased endures, and that is already demonstrated; all those desires we had in life endure; all those thoughts of desire endure. The I is a bundle of memories; all the frustrated desires we had in life endure; they do not die; the desire we had for a house, for a woman, for social position, for power, etc., etc., etc., all that does not die; all that belongs to the PRINCE OF THIS WORLD.
That bundle of memories, that I, reincarnates to satisfy its desires. The psychological I is the PRINCE OF THIS WORLD. THE PSYCHOLOGICAL I IS MEMORY THAT ENDURES. MEMORY THAT REINCARNATES. With the experiences of life, that I gradually becomes more and more complicated and difficult. The simple man of some few million years ago, through millions of lives and deaths, is today the man of the cabaret, the man of the atomic bomb and of the hydrogen bomb. Is that perfection? Is that sanctification? That is the evolution of the I, my dear brothers; the evolution of life is only a process of complication of the I.
We need a total revolution. Let us not go so far; place a child and an elder face to face; compare them; which is more perfect, the child or the elder? As we go on passing through the various stages of life, we gain many experiences that gradually fill us with cunning, malice, mistrust, etc., etc.; the child is transformed into the malicious, avaricious, cunning, perverse, mistrustful old man; that is evolution. We need to pass through a total REVOLUTION of consciousness; we need to behead and dissolve the evolving I; truly I tell you that the I is beheaded with the sword and dissolved with comprehension. First the I must be beheaded and then it must be dissolved.
In the schools of Major mysteries it is known that the I is never dissolved without having first passed through beheading. First it is beheaded, then it is dissolved; if you wish to BEHEAD the I, you must necessarily descend into the lit forge of VULCAN (sex) to cut off the head of Medusa with the flaming sword of Perseus. If you wish to dissolve the I, you must necessarily end all your defects; you must totally sanctify yourselves; tread the path of love; those who suppose that they can behead the PRINCE OF THIS WORLD without the necessity of USING the arcanum A.Z.F. truly do not know the sacred order of Tibet.
To the advanced Yogis is delivered in the ARYAVARTA ASHRAMA, lip to ear, the arcanum A.Z.F.; that order is composed of 201 members, the high command of 78 BRAHMINS. The YOGIS who are still profane abhor sex and suppose that they can liberate themselves without the arcanum A.Z.F. The INITIATED YOGIS have their priestess wife. Let us distinguish between PROFANE YOGIS and INITIATED YOGIS. H. P. BLAVATSKY was a great YOGINI and after having received the arcanum A.Z.F. in the sacred order of Tibet, she had to marry to enter the sacred mysteries.
Only in the lit forge of Vulcan (sex) do we receive the sword; only with the sword can we behead the reincarnating I.
Behead the I, dissolve the I, so that you may incarnate the Lamb. That is a TOTAL REVOLUTION; that is the Christmas of the Heart. The secret doctrine of the Christ is a TOTAL REVOLUTION.
Most beloved, today 1958 years ago, was born in a manger of Bethlehem our adorable SAVIOR who has so loved us; still human beings have not wished to understand his doctrine.
INVERENTIAL PEACE.
PEACE TO THE MEN OF GOOD WILL.
PEACE TO YOU.

Chapter Thirteen: SUPREME CHRISTMAS MESSAGE 1959-1960
By the Buddha Maitreya — Sri SAMAEL AUN WEOR
Kalki Avatar of the New Aquarian Era
Prologue
SAMAEL AUN WEOR, Founder and director of the A.G.L.A. Movement (Liberating Gnostic Action of Amerindia); Professor Doctor FRANCISCO A. PROPATO, Founder and director of the A.L.A.S. Movement (Liberating Action of South America), and Sri SWAMI SIVANANDA, Founder and director of the Sivananda Aryavarta Ashrama Movement (The Divine Life Society, India). Three powerful spiritualist movements, which united compose the Perfect Mystical Triangle; Symbol of Order, Love, Peace, and Justice. Which works intensely for world peace and for the spiritual and moral progress of the Universal human conglomerate.
The concrete fact of this powerful movement is to accept in its ranks all human beings of pure and noble heart, without distinction of political color, without exception of religion, race, sect, creed, order, or belief of a spiritual character; the interesting thing is for man to have a religion, for a man without religion, without fear of God, is like a panther out of its cage, which damages with its diabolical claws everything it meets in its path.
The members of this powerful movement set an example with our own deeds, with our own lives, but we do not see in our fellow men their sins, faults, or crimes, because we have the purpose of fulfilling thoroughly the Ten Commandments of the Law of God.
We have as fundamental basis the first, that of Loving God above all things. If we love God above all things, it is because we see only in ourselves our own errors, our stains and sin, the beam in our own eyes and not the mote in the eye of our brother.
If we love our fellow above all things, it is because we are fulfilling the first commandment of the Law of God, because we see only in the presence of every human being the Image of God, the Copy of God, the Divine Majesty, the Presence of the Great Universal Architect who one day, out of love and by Law of the Divine Plan, made us in his Image and Likeness.

Supreme Christmas Message
SALUTATIONS AND ADORATIONS.
INVERENTIAL PEACE.
Most beloved:
The year 1959 has ended, and now comes the year 1960. The times of the end have already arrived, and we are in them. “Many are called and few are chosen.”
Now it is necessary to love; only by loving will we be saved. Set aside religious jealousies. Build the temple of all religions. Build churches so that the holy priests of all cults, schools, and beliefs may officiate in them.
God is Love, little children, and only with love can we be saved. All religions are precious pearls strung upon the golden thread of Divinity.
Look around you, beloved: the rose saturated with love transmutes the mire of the earth into the exquisite fragrance of its miraculous petals.
Thus, little children, be like the rose, transmute desire into love.
When desire is transmuted into love, the I dissolves, the myself, the ego, and the Child God of Bethlehem comes to us; that is the Christmas of the Heart.
That is the religare of the soul with God. All religions wish to unite the soul with God. Remember that behind every cult is the sweat, the blood, and the sacrifice of the great initiates who founded the various religions.
The White Lodge has given to each people and to each race its Religion in accord with the necessities of evolution. The three movements united, AGLA (Liberating Gnostic Action of Amerindia), ALAS (Liberating Action of South America), and Sivananda Aryavarta Ashrama, count among their ranks people of all religions, schools, orders, sects, and beliefs. Our motto is LOVE.
We must venerate profoundly all cults. We must adore in all temples. We need to sacrifice ourselves for humanity, to give to the last drop of blood for humanity.
The triangle ALAS, AGLA, and SIVANANDA ARYAVARTA ASHRAMA will in a near future be able to build churches for all religions, and to hold great religious congresses.
The times of the end began in the year 1950. Since then nature is rekindling its fires for a new activity.
In various places of the earth terrible tidal waves, earthquakes, and frightful cataclysms have already happened. In these times of the end, man will escape to other planets before the great cataclysm. The earth will remain a desert for millennia until it has been totally transformed.
Only those who have been devoured by the serpent of life will be able to escape from the earth. In other words, we affirm the following: only those who have received the Pentecostal fire will be able to escape from the earth.
The just will be taken from the earth in anguished times. The sister humanities of other planets will evacuate from the earth all the just.
The sister humanities of other planets have perfect spaceships to save the just. The inhabitants of the earth are raising the Tower of Babel anew and threaten the starry heavens with their tower.
God will confuse their tongues, and the Tower of Babel will be struck down by the terrible ray of cosmic justice. The leap of man into the stratosphere and his escape in anguished times will be the most grandiose event of the catastrophic end of this dark age.
The just will be the seedbed of the future sixth great race. The just will be brought to the earth again when it is in favorable conditions of life. Then the sixth race will be born. The “Koradí” Race.
The fornicators will fall into the abyss. The fornicators will not be able to escape from the earth, because they will be judged.
Only with the stone of grace can we be saved. We need to be devoured by the serpent of life in order to celebrate the Christmas of the Heart.
There will be atomic wars, and the sun will turn black as silicon and the moon red as blood. There will be hunger, epidemics, frightful earthquakes, and the cities will fall like houses of cards turned to ruins.
Amid all this chaos and all these ruins, it is necessary for the Army of World Salvation, formed by the martyrs of all religions, schools, and beliefs, to pray and to work, healing the wounded, burying the dead, sharing the crust of bread with the hungry, succoring the afflicted, and so on.
This is precisely the indicated moment to unite all schools, religions, and beliefs into a true and positive army of world salvation!
Soviet Russia has already planted its banner on the Moon. Within a short time the Russians will have landed on the Moon. (The Moon will turn red as blood, says Jesus the Christ.)
Men are now using the aggressive force of metals. (Nuclear Force.) Yet they still do not know how to manage the suspensive energy of metals.
Atomic disintegration constitutes a retroactive process of cosmic life, the result of which signifies returning to the great cataclysms of the dawn of life. (Earthquakes, tidal waves, frightful tempests, tremendous cyclones, and so on.)
By inverting the order of natural integration, exchanging it for that of atomic disintegration, we shall return to the epoch of the antediluvian cataclysms.
The superior layer of the atmosphere of the earth, altered by the atomic explosions, will not be able to filter the solar rays, and then we shall see the sun black as silicon. (This was already said by Christ in his prophetic sermon.)
The evolution of life has only wished to move forces of atomic integration, but man wishes to return to atomic disintegration, and the result will be the updating of the terrible archaic antediluvian cataclysms.
“The hour of the great tragedy approaches, yet the day nor the hour no one knows, except the Father. “For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark.”
“And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
“Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.” “Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.”
“The just will be secretly saved. “Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains” (let them seek the country).
“Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house.” “Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.” Remember what happened to the wife of Lot.
Every step that man takes in the conquest of space brings us closer to the end. Soon you will see a Russian atomic rocket that will astonish the world. The interplanetary ships and the right to interplanetary navigation are the exclusive property of the God Vulcan.
Truly, only those planetary humanities that have worked in the lit forge of Vulcan (sex), and that have been devoured by the serpent of life, win the right to interplanetary navigation.
Vulcan delivers his cosmic ships to the Christified humanities of the various sidereal worlds of space.
The earthlings have not Christified themselves. The earthlings threaten the starry heavens with the Tower of Babel, and shall be destroyed.
“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” (2 Peter 3:10)
“Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.”
When this humanity attempts to subjugate other planetary humanities, then the earth will collide with another planetary mass, and the end of the Aryan race shall come.
The cosmic phenomenon of the collision of worlds is common in starry space. This astronomers know very well. Thus, this sidereal collision is neither the first nor will it be the last.
The mixture and fusion of two planetary masses gives rise to a new world.
The future earth shall be the result of that mixture and fusion.
Before this cosmic cataclysm, the abuse of atomic energy will have provoked many universal disturbances through the retroactive process of cosmic life.
The process of integration originates atoms, units, bodies, worlds, and so on. The process of atomic disintegration ends worlds, bodies, units, and so on, returning nature to the catastrophes of the dawn of life.
The nebula is the cosmic laboratory where the universe preserves in constant evolution the atomic phenomena of integration and disintegration. The abuse of nuclear energy shall originate hunger and unknown illnesses.
Soon we shall see the third world war.
The men with sheepskin will be on the right and the men with goatskin on the left.
Most beloved, it is urgent to know that every planetary humanity has its final judgment. When some planetary evolution initiates its return to the absolute, then its final judgment is realized.
The final judgment was already made on our planet earth. That Karmic judgment was a tremendous reality in the year 1950. The Gods judged the great harlot clothed in purple and scarlet and considered her unworthy. The sentence of the Gods was: To the Abyss! To the Abyss! To the Abyss!
It is very difficult to be an angel. Very arduous. “Many are called and few are chosen.”
Remember that of all the millions of human beings that evolved on the ancient moon, after the lunar final judgment, only a small group of souls rose to the Angelic state.
“Many are called and few are chosen.” The bulk of the lunar population descended to the atomic infernos of nature. Those people became terrible and perverse sublunar demons. Asuras, Lucifers, Ahrimans, and so on.
If you wish to rise to the Angelic state (before it is already late), you will have to descend into the lit forge of Vulcan (sex). There Mars descends to retemper his sword and conquer the heart of Venus (the Venustic initiation). Hermes to clean the stables of Augeas (the depths of consciousness) with the flaming fire. Perseus to cut off the head of Medusa (the psychological I) with the sword of justice.
The secret key of the ninth sphere is the Arcanum A.Z.F.
Most beloved: know that evolution is a process of complication of life. We need total revolution. When we behead and dissolve the I, then there is total revolution. When the I dissolves, we attain the Venustic initiation.
Everyone who attains the initiation of the Morning Star receives the Christmas of the Heart. Thus is how the verb is made flesh in us. Thus is born the Christ in the heart of man.
The Lamb enters the soul and is transformed into her. He is transformed into her and she into him. He humanizes himself, and she divinizes herself. The divine and the human mixing in alchemical weddings is marvelous. The result of this mixture is the Son of Man.
We need to be swallowed by the serpent of life. It is urgent to raise the Son of Man within ourselves. The Son of Man is born between the water and the fire of the ninth sphere (sex).
The Son of Man is born now in anguished times. The final judgment was already made, and millions of beings have been descending to the atomic infernos of nature since the year 1950.
We need to annihilate religious jealousies and to build in our heart the temple of all religions, of the living God. It is urgent to organize the Army of World Salvation with people of all religions, schools, and beliefs.
In these times of the end we must sacrifice all fanaticism and all selfishness, for supreme charity, for love of so many millions of human beings who cry out, who suffer, and who plead for help amid the horrible shadows of the abyss.
Most beloved: I wish you Merry Christmases. May the Star of Bethlehem shine forth on your path. May your most loving Father who is in secret and may your Divine Mother Kundalini bless you.
Your own Being.
SAMAEL AUN WEOR.

SAMAEL AUN WEOR, FRANCISCO A. PROPATO, SWAMI SIVANANDA.
Professor Dr. Francisco A. Propato
Delegate of the W.U.R. in Argentina.
Here in brief synthesis is the “curriculum vitae” of the 35 years in service of culture, fulfilled by this Argentine humanist, from the direction of the magazine “La Estrella,” in which José Ingenieros, Roberto Arlt, Nalé Roxlo, and so on, collaborated (1918), to assuming the Delegation of the World University Roundtable, a national and international labor which he has also developed mainly in France, Spain, and Italy, and throughout America from North to South. He was in France President of the Argentine Foundation of the University City and Vice President of the General Association of Latin American Students.
He formed part of the Argentine Embassy, attached to the Consulate General in Paris. He is a member of the “Société Asiatique” and honorary professor of the “Institut Humanist.” In Paris (1930) he published his first book on the mysticism of Iran and the Rubaiyat of Umar I-Khayyám. He acted in various cultural institutions and pacifist associations, taking his studies at the “Institut de Hautes Études Historiques” (Civilisation Indienne, sanscrit, etc.) of the Sorbonne (1929-1933).
On behalf of the Institute of Philosophy (of which he is an attached member) of the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of Buenos Aires, he traveled through Italy and Spain. He also acted in Switzerland and Holland. Upon his return to Latin America he acted in Brazil, Uruguay, and Chile. In this last country he founded with other leaders of Indo-Span Americanism, “A.L.A.S.” — Liberating Action of South America, the only Ecumenical Latin Humanist Movement existing in the world, widely known in all of America, in Europe, and in the Orient.
In Argentina he contributed, for five consecutive years, to the creation of the National University of Cuyo; to the national campaign against cancer, collaborating with the wise oncologist Prof. Dr. Ángel H. Roffo in the Pan-American Scientific Confederation and in the Argentine Anti-Tobacco League, and so on. He served at the International Congress against Alcoholism, of Montevideo (1948), as Secretary of the Argentine Delegation and President of the Press Commission. He was Advisor of the Association of Argentine Ladies Pro Patriotic Traditions, until the officialization of the traditional Esnaola music of the Argentine National Anthem was achieved. He acted at the Inter-American Economic Institute, and so on.
Such vast labor in the service of Humanity has been judged, appreciated, and honored by Universities, Academies, and qualified cultural institutions of America, Europe, and the Orient. Being impossible to even sketch the titles and distinctions so far granted, in addition to those mentioned, we shall cite: Doctor honoris causa, in Philosophy, of the “International University of London”; in Sociology, of the “Andronosophic Academy” of San Marino.
Honorary Academician of the “Accademia Universale Inventori e Autori,” of Rome; of the “Accademia Internazionale Borromeo,” of Genoa; of the “Unione Organizzazione Scientifiche Pacificatrici Latino-Indiane” and of the “Associazione Internazionale Pro-Pace de Salerno”; of the “Ordre International de l’Etoile de la Paix,” with grade of “Chevalier de Grande Croix,” and so on. In America, member of honor of the “International Institute of American Ideas,” of Los Angeles (USA).
Of the “América Group,” of Bolivia; of the Institute of American Culture, of Argentina and Brazil; of the “Pan-American Institute and Library,” of Buenos Aires. President, moreover, of the Order of the “Insignia of America.” Likewise, he has been honored by various institutions of Arab culture, for his work among the Syrians, Lebanese, and Palestinians of America and the Near East.
The former vice president of Peru, Dr. Rafael Larco Herrera, great Americanist and publicist, has said of Professor Propato: “America will never thank you enough for the great services you render to the high ideals that tend to lead it along the paths of its unity, defense, and grandeur. The efforts you carry out deserve to be perpetuated to exalt an illustrious and intrepid soldier of Democracy, who is guide and standard of the youth of this grand Continent.”
The declaration of Dr. Larco Herrera, of 1950, has just been corroborated by Dr. Howard John Zitko, General Coordinator of the World University Roundtable, who has said of Professor Propato: “You are our most valuable man in South America, and it is to your good and kind efforts that the W.U.R has made such remarkable progress in your part of the world.”
FINAL NOTE: We emphasize that many mentions of institutions, of personalities, and of books have been omitted, likewise references to other multiple aspects of the vast labor carried out by Professor Propato, of erudite works in the matter of his philosophical specialty, and other literary studies, and so on. (Vale.)

¡CUBHAN ASTU SARVAJA GATAM!
¡OM MANI PADME HUM!
¡GLORY TO GOD!
With the gnostic salutations in Sanskrit and in Tibetan, I am pleased to send you my most expressive manifestations of natural rejoicing, for today is precisely the third anniversary of the foundation in Argentina of the UNIVERSAL CHRISTIAN GNOSTIC MOVEMENT, whose progress has been growing in slow but firm form in its advance toward its high destiny of spirituality.
The most eloquent testimony is the constitution of a powerful Gnostic Group, which initiated its activities on May 25, 1960, in homage to the sesquicentennial (150 years) of the Revolution of May 1810. The printed letterhead of this paper says clearly what the LATIN AMERICAN ESOTERIC GNOSTIC FRATERNITY is; who are its high and powerful Patrons in India, Mexico, and Tibet, and, in addition, who are its founders, leaders in the knowledge and diffusion of the gnostic teachings in Argentina, extended to all of Latin America, in collaboration with the gnostic brothers of Mexico, Central America, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, and other countries of the Continent.
This esoteric-Christian work is under your high magisterial direction, since you are not only Patron and Archbishop, but also the Master par excellence; for your books are eminently orienting and circulate throughout Latin America, where they are sought and appreciated by thousands of readers.
It is our duty to honor also the gnostic brothers who cooperate efficiently, editing the books of Sri Samael Aun Weor. The Great Master. This concerns the most important task of meeting the expenses involved in such costly publications at these moments, a sacrifice that attains its reward because the gnostic harvest is the best fruit of such valuable contribution.
As regards the Argentine Republic, in my capacity as Official Representative of the UNIVERSAL CHRISTIAN GNOSTIC MOVEMENT, I must leave express and formal record before the Supreme Grand Master, Sri Samael Aun Weor, that he in the first place, and then the following brothers, have contributed with their pecuniary contribution and with the sending of gnostic books so that the movement in Argentina may have attained the prestige and the development of which we today are proud.
Indeed, let us highlight the repeated contribution of the brothers PEDRO ANTONIO REY R., Barranquilla, Colombia; MANUEL S. SÁNCHEZ of Barquisimeto, Lara, Venezuela; L. A. RENDEROS of San Salvador, El Salvador; RAFAEL ESCALANTE of El Vigía, State of Mérida, Venezuela, who deserves a special distinction for his strenuous and meritorious contribution; GABRIEL BLANDÓN RUIZ and SAMUEL RESTREPO GARCÍA, of Cartagena, Colombia. To all of them our gratitude!
In the mention of gnostic brothers who have favored us by sending us books, by express indication of the Great Master Sri Samael Aun Weor, I must mention the Great Brother JULIO MEDINA V. who sent us the first books of the Master, which was the initial spark of the direct and fruitful contact; then CARLOS A. VALDEZ H. of Panama, Republic of Panama; Sister LEONOR MANRIQUE M. of Cali, Colombia; JESÚS VEGA, Cúcuta, Colombia.
Gratitude to all! Peace and Good. Yours: Luxemil.
Prof. Dr. FRANCISCO A. PROPATO.
Supreme Christmas Message 1960-1961
By SAMAEL AUN WEOR
Kalki Avatar of the New Aquarian Era
Most beloved Disciples:
It is NECESSARY that this Christmas we study the process of CHRISTIFICATION. This is a very delicate process and we must approach it as it is. Truly all the brothers of the Path aspire to the Christmas of the Heart. Many are those who wish to INCARNATE the Child God of BETHLEHEM within the HEART-TEMPLE. Unfortunately humanity does not know the path.
Above all, my beloved disciples, you must know that to INCARNATE THE CHRIST, one must first of all have a SOUL. This affirmation will seem a little strange to you, but truly I tell you that humanity has not yet INCARNATED the SOUL. People have only INCARNATED an embryo of SOUL. THAT IS ALL.
He who wishes to INCARNATE HIS SOUL must have an ASTRAL body, a Mental body, and a Causal body. Humanity does not yet have these vehicles. If we examine clairvoyantly the ASTRAL of any common and ordinary person, we see that ASTRAL is a Cold and sleeping Phantom. Truly we cannot call the ASTRAL PHANTOM a Body ASTRAL. He who has an ASTRAL body lives awake in the inner worlds. People live asleep in the ASTRAL. When we invoke a disincarnate one, we find him completely asleep. Those Astral phantoms speak incoherent things and are full of the cold of death.
He who wishes to INCARNATE his soul must have a Mental body. People do not yet have a Mental body. The so-called Mental Body of every common and ordinary person does not deserve the title of mental body. The Mental phantom of every person is not the mental body. We need to Engender the Mental Body.
The Will-Soul normally lives in the CAUSAL PLANE. He who wishes to INCARNATE HIS WILL-SOUL must then Engender THE CAUSAL BODY, or body of the WILL.
Everyone who engenders THE ASTRAL, THE MENTAL, THE CAUSAL, has then the right to incarnate his SOUL. Everyone who INCARNATES HIS SOUL is a COMPLETE MAN. Only COMPLETE MEN win the right to enter the MYSTERIES OF THE VENUSTIC INITIATION.
He who enters these MYSTERIES INCARNATES THE CHRIST. No one can INCARNATE THE CHRIST without BEING a COMPLETE MAN. No one is a COMPLETE MAN as long as he does not HAVE HIS SOUL INCARNATED. No one can INCARNATE HIS SOUL until he has engendered the ASTRAL, MENTAL, and CAUSAL Vehicles.
People want to ENGENDER with Theories; that is the error of poor humanity. The Body is not the child of any Theory. The physical body of the human being is the child of the SEXUAL ACT.
A HERMETIC APHORISM SAYS: “AS ABOVE, SO BELOW.” If here on the physical we ENGENDER the physical body of our children with the sexual act, it is logical that thus we can also engender the ASTRAL, MENTAL, and CAUSAL vehicles. A special copulation is needed to ENGENDER THESE INNER VEHICLES in the superior worlds. That special copulation is the ARCANUM A.Z.F. The basis of that ARCANUM is to perform the sexual act, but not to ejaculate the ENS SEMINIS. He who perseveres with this ARCANUM throughout life rises to the KINGDOM OF THE GODS.
Man is still nothing more than a PHANTOM OF MAN. He is not yet a COMPLETE MAN. No one can INCARNATE THE CHILD GOD OF BETHLEHEM if he does not yet have the bliss of being a COMPLETE MAN. The inner Vehicles can only be ENGENDERED WITH SEX. The nourishment of these Vehicles is founded on the HYDROGENS. In the physical organism the various types of HYDROGENS are Fabricated, for the various inner bodies of man.
Laws of the Bodies
PHYSICAL BODY: This is governed by 48 Laws. Its basic food is Hydrogen 48.
ASTRAL BODY: This vehicle is subject to 24 Laws. Its basic food is Hydrogen 24.
MENTAL BODY: This Vehicle is subject to 12 Laws. Its basic food is Hydrogen 12.
CAUSAL BODY: This vehicle is governed by 6 Laws. Its basic food is Hydrogen 6. He who possesses this Fourth Vehicle is absolutely immortal.
Kriya
This word means ACTION. In the Orient each Guru has his KRIYA. Currently the KRIYA of YOGANANDA has been widely disseminated. This KRIYA IS VERY GOOD FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INNER FACULTIES of Man, and many Gnostics Practice it. The KRIYA OF YOGANANDA was only had complete by Babaji, LAHIRI MAHASAYA, SRI YUKTESWAR. To YOGANANDA it could not be given complete because he was only a SWAMI (Monk). If he had married, it would have been given to him complete. His MASTER advised him to Marry, but he did not accept.
THE GREAT YOGI AVATAR LAHIRI MAHASAYA was married and only received the KRIYA complete after having married. It was then that the CHRIST YOGI of INDIA, the immortal Babaji, called the Lord LAHIRI MAHASAYA for INITIATION.
Lord LAHIRI MAHASAYA had lived during many reincarnations in the HIMALAYAS, dedicated to the contemplative life. Yet he had not realized himself despite so many penitences and fasts. Lord LAHIRI MAHASAYA only came to REALIZE HIMSELF IN DEPTH when he married. This is verbatim from the book of WISDOM, and anyone can verify it by studying the AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF Yogananda (SEE “AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A YOGI”).
Opportune Counsel
Practice what you want and read what you like best, but remember that when you are going to build, the first thing you need is the STONE for the foundations, because if you build upon sand, your edifice will inevitably tumble into the abyss.
Do you love the KRIYA? Good, practice it, but first lay the foundations of your TEMPLE. Build upon the living Stone; that STONE IS SEX. Do not build upon the sands of theories, because your EDIFICE will tumble into the abyss.
Do you want powers? You need to have the vehicles where powers develop. THE ASTRAL, MENTAL, and CAUSAL PHANTOMS can develop PHANTOM powers, that is all. YOU NEED THE CHRISTIC POWERS. In what vehicle are you going to develop them? Have you not acquired the CHRIST ASTRAL? Do YOU NOT HAVE THE CHRIST MENTAL? Do YOU NOT ENJOY THE BODY OF THE CHRIST WILL?
Pause a moment and meditate. DO NOT BE FANATIC NOR SECTARIAN. PAUSE A MOMENT! PLEASE. BE SINCERE WITH YOURSELF. IF YOU DO NOT YET HAVE THESE CHRISTIC VEHICLES, DO NOT WASTE TIME. ENGENDER THEM RIGHT NOW BEFORE DEATH COMES TO YOU.
True Love
Do not confuse DESIRE with LOVE. Many GNOSTICS marry “supposedly” to work with the ARCANUM A.Z.F. Then they end up fighting one another. What does THIS MEAN? How is it possible that two who “supposedly” LOVED ONE ANOTHER now hate each other? What is this? A deep analysis brings us to the conclusion that there was no LOVE there. There only existed desire. We warn that the GREAT WORK can only be realized where there exists what is called LOVE.
The Pluralized I of Man
When we study THE ASTRAL PHANTOM of a deceased one, we see a façade phantom. Within that FAÇADE PHANTOM, many PHANTOMS exist, which project themselves in various directions within the inner worlds. Each phantom of these enjoys SELF-INDEPENDENCE. Each PHANTOM OF THESE IS AN I. Each I has its own DIABOLIC mind. People say that we have a Mind. We say that we have many minds. IN DAILY LIFE these PHANTOMS OF THE PLURALIZED I, struggle and quarrel for SUPREMACY.
Each one of them wants to be the ABSOLUTE MASTER. THE I THAT SWEARS TO BE FAITHFUL TO GNOSIS IS DISPLACED TOMORROW BY ANOTHER I THAT HATES GNOSIS. The I that today swears to love a woman is displaced tomorrow by another that hates her mortally. Thus, MAN is still an Irresponsible being. Man does not yet have true IDENTITY. Only those who ENGENDER THEIR SOUL have TRUE IDENTITY.
Immortality
Man believes himself immortal and believes that he already possesses consciousness and Will. The reality is different. MAN DOES NOT YET HAVE AWAKENED CONSCIOUSNESS. MAN IS NOT YET IMMORTAL. MAN DOES NOT YET HAVE TRUE WILL, and CONFUSES THE FORCE OF DESIRE WITH THE FORCE OF WILL.
When we examine in the inner worlds the PHANTOM OF A DECEASED ONE, we understand that he is nothing more than a cold and profoundly asleep PHANTOM. When we analyze it in depth, this PHANTOM then becomes a LEGION of PHANTOMS. Which of these is the beloved person of that loved one who existed on earth? Truly the deceased one became many. Which is the true one? The Truth we maintain is that the person died. What continues is a legion of DEMONS. THE PLURALIZED I, which after some time reincarnates to satisfy desires. THAT IS ALL.
Immortal Persons
Those persons who ENGENDERED their inner bodies become immortalized in them. We investigators find those persons completely awake after Death. Those persons won IMMORTALITY.
Dissolving the I
Only by minutely studying the I can we dissolve it. We must carefully observe the processes of thought, the various functionalisms of Desire, the habits that shape our personality, our sexual impulses, and so on. Studying how they react before the impacts of the outer world, how they associate, and so on. By comprehending all the processes of the PLURALIZED I, it is dissolved. Then only DIVINITY manifests through and within us.
The Venustic Initiation
THE VENUSTIC CHRISTMAS IS FOR COMPLETE MEN. When the Temple is raised upon the LIVING STONE, when the whole edifice is finished, when the tower already shines forth with Glory, then the CHRIST INCARNATES within the HEART TEMPLE. He enters the soul. He is transformed into HER and SHE into HIM. He humanizes himself and she Divinizes herself. THAT IS THE CHRISTMAS OF THE HEART. Thus is how the SON OF MAN rises within ourselves. THE SON OF MAN IS THE SUPREME RESULT OF THE MIXTURE OF THE SOUL WITH THE CHRIST. CHRIST is always born in the manger of the World to save humanity.
Merry Christmas
BELOVED DISCIPLES. I WISH YOU MERRY CHRISTMASES. STUDY THIS MESSAGE IN DEPTH, MEDITATE ON IT, AND PREPARE YOURSELVES FOR THE CHRISTMAS OF THE HEART.
INVERENTIAL PEACE.

THE AVATAR OF SYNTHESIS
Prologue
The members of the Universal Christian Gnostic Movement, like all those conscious, advanced, evolved spiritualists of the other Religions and Sects who do not disregard the manifestation of God in any of its aspects, follow very closely the course of cosmic events that draw near for future generations.
The members of the Great Universal Christian Gnostic Movement consider that the Christmas Message of this year may be motive of doubts and even of sacrilegious laughter on the part of a great portion of the human population that is only interested in the destruction of man by man, as is being proven by the latest war advances of the most advanced Nations of this modern civilization.
The students of Gnosis, like the other truly evolved spiritualists, conscious of the knowledge of the Laws of Cause and Effect, grant the reason to the unbelievers, to the materialists who only believe in things by volume, measure, and weight, or, what is the same, in forms. And the fact of not believing in presages nor in prophecies is because they have no religion, and if to any they belong, it is for convenience, with a purely mercantilist character without taking at all into account the fulfillment of the immutable Laws of Nature that through the centuries we find in those great Religions and Sects in their Sacred books, the innumerable prophecies of their Emissaries, of those great Masters, Messiahs, Christs, or Religare-bringers, their precious Doctrines calling us to the spiritual order, to fraternal love, to Communion with God, presenting to us the grave dangers in which we are going to find ourselves, reaching even to the maximum of their sacrifices to redeem us, to deliver to us a Redeeming Doctrine full of Wisdom as the VENERABLE MASTER SAMAEL AUN WEOR: BUDDHA MAITREYA, KALKI AVATAR OF THE NEW AQUARIAN ERA, is doing.
But adulterous and fornicating humanity, intoxicated with delirium of material grandeur and of sin, does not believe in the prophecies nor in the Doctrine of these humble and Great Servants sent of God, because they, as Luminous Torches, Resplendent with Wisdom, merely deliver to humanity the Principles; the Divine Fluids of God, the Truth in each of its manifestations through time and space.
This part of humanity, unbelieving in Divine things, believes merely in accomplished facts, in matter, in the form composed by the various currents of contrary thoughts that only serve to accelerate the march toward our own disgrace, to our shadowy end, to accelerate the course of the prophetic events for which little remains, and of which Zephaniah tells us very clearly and definitively in his book Ch. 1, Verses 16, 17, and 18 saying: “A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers. And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the Lord: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.
Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord’s wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.”
But with all this it is not enough: Fornicating Phariseeism demands a sign from heaven to believe in the prophecies, while we Gnostics and spiritualists of great worth await that great final day to pay once for all the back accounts of which we have made ourselves debtors and which we shall reap with pain and tears as that bitter and painful fruit that we have sown in the heart of our fellow men; because the wages of sin is death.
Phariseeism demands a sign from heaven to believe in the prophecies, and a sign from Heaven shall not be given to this unbelieving humanity except that of Jonah the Prophet: Just as Jonah was swallowed symbolically by the great Fish, so also is it necessary that unbelieving humanity be swallowed by the Serpent of life, by the Serpent of Wisdom, by the Fire of the Holy Spirit.
Just as Moses raised the Serpent in the wilderness, so also is it necessary that this unbelieving humanity raise its Serpent in the wilderness of its own personality, so that the living God may be raised in the Temple-heart of man, and that there may be celebrated in us that precious Christmas of the Heart, causing the Child God of Bethlehem to be born in our human manger by means of that great secret Key that only the Gnostics know and practice and which is called: The Great Arcanum; A.Z.F.
Hence Gnosis encloses the Wisdom of all the centuries; Because it is possessor of the Great secret Key of the Great Arcanum A.Z.F.: Fundamental basis of the creation of worlds, beasts, men, and Gods.
GNOSIS: Means Knowledge; a word composed of the principles of CONE and FOUNDATION, the fundamental basis of Universal Architecture; CONE: Geometric Figure indispensable in every Architectural Work, and FOUNDATION, fundamental Basis of every Solid and Eternal Architectural Work, as is the WORK OF THE GREAT UNIVERSAL ARCHITECT. (GOD.)

Supreme Christmas Message 1961
By SAMAEL AUN WEOR
THE AVATAR OF SYNTHESIS
Most beloved:
They say there exist seven Great Religions and Five thousand Sects; we Gnostics affirm that there exists only one great Religion, and this is the TRUTH. We firmly believe that only he who experiences the Truth is profoundly Religious.
Truth wishes to know itself in every man. Jesus of Nazareth is a living body of TRUTH. Jesus Incarnated the TRUTH. He who Incarnates the TRUTH becomes free. Those who Incarnated the Truth founded the Great Religions and the Great Schools of Mysteries.
Buddha, Hermes, Krishna, Quetzalcoatl, and so on, incarnated the Truth, and everyone who Dissolves the I and raises the columns of the Temple upon the living Stone, incarnates the Truth. There is no Religion higher than Truth.
We must distinguish between Religious forms and Religious principles. It is necessary to know that the Principles are living cosmic Formulas. The Religious forms are the various systems of teaching those Principles. The Great Infinite Universal Cosmic Religion assumes various forms, according to the necessities of each race and of each epoch.
Thus the Religious forms have succeeded one another through millions of years; the successive reel of all the Religions that have existed in the world always reveals the same immutable principles of Truth.
Religion is property inherent to life as humidity to water.
A man could not belong to any religion and yet be profoundly religious. Everyone who is capable of experiencing the Truth is profoundly religious, although he does not belong to any religion. The intimate relation of the mind with Truth is Religion. Only the religious man is truly revolutionary.
Some Philosophers say that Religions have failed; we affirm that every Religion has fulfilled its historical mission.
With a single living Buddha born among the ranks of Buddhism, Buddhism has already fulfilled its mission; with a single Christified one among the ranks of Christianity, the existence of Christianity is already justified; with a single Imam among the ranks of Mohammedanism, the existence of the Mohammedan Religion is already well justified.
All the great Religions of the World have achieved their objective with men who succeeded in religare-ing themselves, that is, who Incarnated the truth. Truly many are called and few are chosen.
This law has already been fulfilled in all Religions.
There is no motive to affirm that the Religions failed in their mission of Religare-ing man with the Truth. In all the Religions there are men of perfection who managed to Religare themselves.
There is no motive that justifies religious wars, because all the Religions teach the same principles. The Witch Doctor of the Center of Africa and the Archbishop of the Metropolitan Cathedral of Rome or of London lean upon the same Marvelous force of Cosmic Religion; the principles are the same; the only thing that varies is the Religious forms; absurd, then, is the fratricidal struggle between the various Religions.
Cosmic Religion Vibrates in each atom of the Cosmos, because it beats in the heart of the suns, in the heart of man, and in that of the ant.
The Mechanical Evolution of Nature
When death arrives, there is something that continues; that something is the I: (Legion of Elementary Demons); this is Memory; Memory is at the same time conditioned mind.
Let us affirm that the I is a bundle of memories; Let us affirm that the I is time; Let us affirm that the I reincarnates to satisfy unsatisfied desires; Let us affirm that the I (Legion of Demons) is never purified nor perfected.
We need to die from instant to instant; only with the death of the I do we enter Nirvana; only with the death of the I, the Christ is born in the Divine dwelling of the Soul. The Inner Christ does not Evolve because he is Perfect. The Inner Christ is the Truth that wishes to know itself in every man.
The mechanical evolution of nature exists, but it leads no one to perfection; we need a tremendous Revolution of Consciousness, because when the I dissolves, there is Revolution of Consciousness.
Synthesis of Gnosis
The Synthesis of the Universal Christian Gnostic Movement is summed up in two principles: Dissolve the I and raise the Columns of the Temple of the LIVING God.
The Seven Columns of the Temple of Wisdom
The Temple of Wisdom has seven Columns; on each of the seven Columns is written in characters of fire the Word INRI. Those seven Columns are the seven Degrees of Power of Fire. Only with the INRI can we build the Temple for the Inner Christ. The seven Columns are raised upon the Philosopher’s Stone. (Sex.)
Jesus of Nazareth
Jesus was not the first who Incarnated the Truth, nor will he be the last.
The Hierophant Jesus has the same attributes of Zeus, Jupiter, Apollo, Krishna, Quetzalcoatl, and like them, he also had his Immaculate Conception in the Womb of a Virgin.
Mythology says that Jesus was born on December 25, the date of the birth of the God Mithra, in the village of Bethlehem, a village which at that time did not exist. The word Bel or Beleno means the Sun God of the Babylonians and Germans, from this word descends the name of Bethlehem; the term Bethlehem indicates the Cosmic Christ, the Sun God, the SOLAR LOGOS.
The poor and unknown Hebrew woman Miriam (Mary) received the same cosmic attributes and powers of the Goddess ISIS; Juno, Demeter, Ceres, Vesta, Maia, Adonia, Insoberta, Rhea, Cybele, and so on.
Mary is fecundated by the Holy Spirit; This, in the form of a dove, makes Mary’s Womb fruitful. The dove is a phallic symbol; let us remember Peristera, the Nymph of the Cortege of Venus transformed into a dove by love.
Only with Sexual Magic is the womb of the Virgin Mother fecundated so that the Child God may be born in the manger of the world.
There arises in the life of Jesus, Iesus, Zeus, Jupiter, Nazarenus, an impassioned woman called Mary Magdalene, and rapidly she occupies the place of Salambo, Matra, Ishtar, Astarte, Aphrodite, and Venus.
All the life of Jesus, Iesus, Zeus, and Jupiter is similar to the life of Krishna in India, to that of the other Christified ones of the World; hence the Gospel of Jesus is similar to that of Krishna.
In the Cosmic Christ there are no Hierarchical differences. In the World of Truth we are all ONE. Yet it is well to clarify that the Buddha Jesus is the most exalted Master of the Universe. Buddha is the Realized Spirit of every Perfect man. Christ is the Truth.
The Birth of Jesus the Christ with his life, passion, death, and resurrection must be lived by everyone who Christifies himself.
The Council of Nicea
At the Council of Nicea, held in the year 325, two things were recognized: 1st. A man who INCARNATED the TRUTH, 2nd. A Doctrine. The man was the Hierophant Jesus. The Doctrine, the Primitive Gnostic Christian Esotericism. Jesus is the Christ because he Incarnated the Christ. Jesus, Iesus, Zeus, and Jupiter is the New Christ Man who in fact initiated a new Era.
The Council of Nicea was a necessity of the epoch because the ancient Religious form of Roman Paganism had in fact entered complete degeneration and death; it became necessary to clothe the Universal Cosmic principles of Cosmic Religion with a new Religious form.
The Council of Nicea was definitive: The Religious principles clothed themselves with new vestments to initiate a new Era, and thus Christianity was born.
The Christian Form
The Demigods, Titans, Goddesses, Sylphs, Cyclopes, and Messengers of the Gods were Rebaptized with the names of Angels, Archangels, Seraphim, Powers, Virtues, Thrones, and so on.
The terrible Roman Avernus, symbol of the Atomic infernos of man and of Nature, was rebaptized as Inferno; every Religion has its Inferno. Olympus, Dwelling of the Gods, becomes the Christian Heaven; every Religion has its heaven. Let us remember the Chinese Heaven, the Heaven of the Germans, Scandinavians, Japanese, and so on. Every religious Heaven represents the Superior Worlds studied by Occultism.
Thus, under the disguise of the New Christian Man, the Clerical Organization was formed anew with the same attributes, Ceremonies, Mitres, and Liturgies of Paganism.
The Religious form of Paganism degenerated and died, but its principles continued in Christianity. In the last times of Paganism, people already laughed at the Mitred Ones, and the Priests went about as vagabonds in the streets, or became puppeteers, beggars; many passed themselves off as soothsayers, and in the streets they were stoned by the multitudes. That is the end of every Religious form; when the multitudes no longer respect a Religious form, it disappears.
The Cult of Fire
The God Khristus (Christ) comes from very ancient Cults of the Fire God. The P and the X intertwined represent the P (Pyre) and the X (Cross). This is then the Hieroglyph of producing Fire. That cult reappeared in the famous council of Nicea. It is necessary to produce Fire, to work with the Sacred Fire to attain Christification. (The Arcanum A.Z.F. is the Key.)
Priests and Nuns
The Priests of Paganism called Augur, Druid, Flamen, Hierophant, Dionysos, and Sacrificer, were transformed later into curates, Clergymen, Pastors, Prelates, Pope, Anointed, Abbot, Theologian, and so on.
The Priestesses of the ancient mysteries, with whom the initiates practiced Sexual Magic, were Christianized with the various names of the nunly orders. The Sibyl, Vestal, Druidess, Papess, Deaconess, Maenad, Pythoness, and so on, were transformed into Novice, Postulant, Sister, Abbess, Canoness, Prelate, Superior, Reverend, Sister, or Nun. It is a pity that these Religious women had forgotten or lost the Key of Sexual Magic.
If the Priests of Christianity had not separated from Primitive Gnosis, the Nuns would have been their Priestesses; with them they would have then practiced the Arcanum A.Z.F., and thus Christianity would have been very different.
Phallic Origin
All Religions have a SEXUAL origin. In all Religions Sexual Magic was practiced. In all cults Phallism existed. In all the Great Religions there existed Priestesses of Love, Sacred Vestals, women who only served for Sexual Magic. The Great Celibate Initiates practiced Sexual Magic with those Nuns or Priestesses of the Temples. Thus is how they Realized themselves in depth. Thus is how many Christified themselves. The Hierophant Jesus also practiced Sexual Magic with a Priestess of the Pyramid of Khafre.
In all peoples there existed Mystery Schools with the Phallic cult. Without this cult no one can attain the Christmas of the Heart. It is still easy to find in Asia and Africa the current of Adoration of the Lingam Yoni and Pudenda, as well as of the Seed.
Among many others, the following Divinities were consecrated to the Phallic cult: Shiva, Agni, Shakti, in India; Legba in Africa; Venus, Bacchus, Priapus, and Dionysos in Greece and Rome; the Jews also had Phallic Idols and groves consecrated to this cult, without which Christification is impossible.
In Greece and Rome, in the Temples of Venus, Vesta, Aphrodite, Isis, the Priestesses of love exercised their Sexual Priesthood marvelously. The Nuns of Pacadocia, Antioch, Cyprus, and Byblos celebrated Gigantic processions, majestically carrying an enormous Phallus of Sacred Wood; They knew that in the union of the Phallus and the uterus was found the secret Key of Christification. Truly everything that comes to life has its germ; so it is also certain that the Inner Master is not born of nothing.
The Inner Master is born from his living germ, which is deposited in the seminal system, in Sanctity, in the Christ; and in Sexual Magic is found the Synthesis of all Religions. All the Religions of the world have their Esotericism, the Christ, Sexual Magic, and Sanctity.
The Universal Christian Gnostic Movement teaches the Doctrine of Synthesis.
The Christ in Substance
Christ is neither a human nor a Divine individual. Christ is a Cosmic Substance, Latent in each Atom of the Infinite. The Substance Christ is the Substance of Truth. Christ is the Truth and the Life. When a man assimilates the Substance Christ in the physical, in the psychic, and in the Spiritual, he Christifies himself, is transformed into Christ, becomes a living Christ. We need to form Christ in us; it is urgent to Incarnate the Truth.
The Christified Ones
Among the Chinese, Christ is FU-JI. The Chinese Christ is born miraculously by the work and Grace of the Holy Spirit.
“While a virgin called Hoa-se was walking along the bank of the river, she placed her foot upon the footprint of the Great Man; immediately she was stirred, finding herself surrounded by a marvelous splendor, and her entrails conceived; twelve years later, on the fourth day of the tenth Moon, at midnight, FU-JI was born, so called in memory of the river on whose bank he was conceived.”
Among the ancient Mexicans, Christ is Quetzalcoatl, who was the Messiah and transformer of the Toltecs. “Chimalman being one day alone with her two sisters, an Emissary from Heaven appeared to her; her sisters, seeing him, died of fright, and she heard from the mouth of the Angel that she would conceive a son, and she conceived at the instant, without the work of Man, Quetzalcoatl, who was the Messiah of the Toltecs.” Among the Japanese, Christ is Amida, who intercedes before the Supreme Goddess Ten-sic-Dai-Tain, praying for all sinners. Amida, the Japanese Christ of the Shintoist religion, is the one who has the power to open the gates of Gokurak (Paradise).
The Germanic Eddas cite “Kristos,” the God of their Theogony similar to Jesus of Nazareth, born on Christmas Day, December 25 at midnight, the same as the Nordic Christified Ones, Odin, Wotan, and Helenus.
The Gospel of Krishna in Millenarian India is similar to the Christian Gospel. The birth of Krishna was similar to the birth of Jesus.
Devaki conceived Krishna by the work and Grace of the Holy Spirit. The Child God Krishna was transported to the stable of the Shepherds; the stable of Nanden, and the Gods and the Angels came to adore him. Among the Greeks, Christ is Zeus, and among the Romans, Jupiter Thundering.
The Christs Jupiter, Zeus, Apollo, are born of Immaculate Virgins. In old Egypt of the Pharaohs, Christ is Osiris, and everyone who Incarnates him is an Osirified one. Hermes Trismegistus is the Egyptian Christ; he Incarnated Osiris (Christ). Every man who manages to assimilate the Substance Christ becomes in fact a Living Christ.
The Virgin Mother of the Christified Ones
The Virgin Mother of the Christified Ones is the Divine Mother Kundalini, the Cosmic Mother, God Mother, the Infinite Universal love coessential with the Absolute abstract space, ISIS, MARY, RHEA, TONANTZIN, and so on.
The Manger of the World
The Stable or Manger where the Child God is Born is the Divine dwelling of the soul, the eternal Temple now invaded by the animals of desire.
It is urgent to know that within the Kingdom of the soul there exist, unfortunately, the Elementary animals of desire. These nourish themselves with the inferior substances of the low animal depths of man.
There they live and multiply; all these Elementary animals constitute that which is called EGO; Thus, it is not exaggerated to say that the I exists pluralized. The I is constituted by Elementary animals; The animals of the stable where the Child God is born to save man. Each Elementary animal represents a determined defect; when we annihilate a defect, its corresponding Elementary dies. We need to die from instant to instant; we need to dissolve the Psychological I that always reincarnates to satisfy desires.
The New Aquarian Era
Much has been said about the New Era that will begin on February 4 of the year 1962 between two and three in the afternoon. Some suppose that the New Era has already begun, but this supposition is false; the New Era will only begin on February 4, 1962.
The seven REGENT GENII of the seven Planets — Moon, Mercury, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn — will gather in a Cosmic Congress at the hour already cited. There will be an eclipse of Sun and Moon at that hour, visible in some places of the Old World. This event will be like a kind of bottleneck of the Celestial transit in the Constellation of Aquarius; thus with such an event, the New Era will in fact be initiated. The concrete Cosmic facts are those that speak; the Cosmic event of February 4 of the year 1962 only repeats every two thousand one hundred and sixty years in this or that Constellation, each time that a New Era is initiated.
Thus, the year 1962 is the 1st of Aquarius. All the brothers of the Gnostic Movement must date their letters in accord with the New Era. The Cosmic event of the year 1962 will produce many catastrophes in various parts of the world.
Age of Pisces
The age of Pisces which ends on February 4, 1962, was the Age of Dogmatic Christianity struggling against atheistic Materialism. If we observe the Sign of Pisces, we see two fish, Duality; the struggle between contrary ideologies: Spiritualism and Materialism in total battle. The Church and the State at war, Science and Religion in conflict.
The fish that lives beneath the waters is carried by the currents, is instinctive and brutal, like the people of the Era of Pisces. The man of this Era does not know how to manage nor transmute the waters of life, that is, the Seminal Liquor.
Age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius that begins on February 4 of the year 1962 is the Age of Synthesis. In the Sign Pisces the human being does not know how to manage the seminal liquor, the waters of life.
In the Sign of Aquarius appears the man with two pitchers of water, wisely combining the waters at will and with wisdom. In the New Aquarian Era the human being will remain with the Synthesis of all Religions. This Synthesis is Sexual Magic and the Christ in substance. In the Age of Aquarius man will know how to transmute the seminal liquor; In the Age of Aquarius man will perform marvels within the field of Endocrinology, atomic physics, chemistry, astronomy, astrology, medicine, aviation, etc., etc.
The Doctrine of Synthesis
The Gnostic Movement teaches the Doctrine of Synthesis; this Doctrine is contained in substance in all the Religions of the world; Sexual Magic is practiced in Zen Buddhism; Sexual Magic is practiced among the Sufis; Sexual Magic is practiced in secret Christianity; Sexual Magic was practiced in the Mystery Schools of Mexico, high Peru, Egypt, Greece, Persia, India, and so on.
The dissolution of the I is studied and taught in Zen Buddhism, in Christianity, and in general in all the Great Religions; this is the Path of Sanctity.
The Zen Buddhists say that the dissolution of the I is Nirvana; the Christian Mystics aspire to die in the Lord. All the Religions want Sanctity in order to die in the Lord, that is, to dissolve the I.
The Doctrine of the New Aquarian Era is the Doctrine of Synthesis; the Doctrine that the Gnostic Movement teaches is the Doctrine of Synthesis; we are not against any Religion, School, or system of spiritual teaching; we teach the Synthesis of all Religions and systems of intimate Self-realization. That is all.
Synthesis does not result from mixtures; Synthesis exists in fact, without artificial mixtures. Synthesis is Perfect Matrimony and the dissolution of the I. God shines forth upon the Perfect Couple.
Wherever a matrimony is found practicing Sexual Magic and working on the dissolution of the I, there is Synthesis; let us remember that Religion has a Sexual origin; Let us remember that man exists by Sex, and that the origin of every life is Sexual.
Prophecies for the Future
The Christ in Substance, the Perfect Matrimony, and Sanctity constitute in fact the Perfect Synthesis of all the Religions of the world. When all the Religions of the world have disappeared, love, the Cosmic Christ, and Sanctity will continue to exist, the Synthesis that is indestructible and eternal from all Eternity.
In the Aquarian Era Dogmatic Christianity will no longer be taught; every Dogmatic form will disappear in Aquarius; in the New Era the Christ will be understood as Substance. In the Aquarian Era everything will be atomic and explosive; then people will be better qualified to study the Doctrine of Synthesis; Science will be religious, and Religion will be Scientific. In the Aquarian Era discussions about the themes of Spirit and matter will disappear, and people will then understand that both Spirit and Matter are modifications of Universal Energy.
In the Age of Aquarius, apparatuses will be invented to see the EGOS who have disincarnated; in the Age of Aquarius there will be a collision of worlds; Our earth will collide against another planet: This event will put an end to the existence of our current Aryan Race.
The whole earth will then pass through a total and definitive transformation. The Select Ones, the chosen ones, will be saved secretly, and they will serve as seedbed for the Sixth Race. This collision of worlds is not new; the earth already had a similar collision in Archaic times; then our earth, which was closer to the Sun, was thrown by the collision to the distance it currently occupies.
The Era that is going to be Initiated is governed by Aquarius, and this Sign governs the terrestrial atmosphere; Aquarius is the house of Uranus; we already know that Uranus is atomic and explosive, so what is going to happen comes by way of the atmosphere and is explosive. The earth and all its elements will burn intensely with the fire. The ancient earth was destroyed with water; and the present earth will be destroyed with fire. Thus shall all the prophecies be fulfilled, written in all the Sacred books of all religions, of the Orient and the Occident, of the North and the South. The word of all those who incarnated the Cosmic Christ will be fulfilled in total form.
In the Age of Aquarius there will be atomic wars to the death; the third world war will be a fact: The result of all those wars will be terrible: earthquakes, frightful tidal waves, unknown illnesses, hunger, misery, and so on.
Within a short time man will conquer the Moon; it is necessary to know that man will arrive with his ships at other planets; it is urgent to understand that when the man of Aquarius can arm a powerful fleet of cosmic ships to violently invade other planets of space, then on that day, the prophecies of all those who Incarnated the Christ in Substance will be fulfilled. That will be the day of the collision of worlds; the mountains will fly through the air reduced to dust, and everything that has life shall perish in the fire.
The men of the future earth, the men of the future Great Race, the men of the sixth Race who will appear after the great cataclysm, will have to begin their life among the caverns of the transformed earth; of all this modern Civilization not one stone will remain upon another that is not destroyed.
When all is destroyed, when the Aryan Race has disappeared, only the Doctrine of Synthesis will continue.
Most beloved:
I wish you Merry Christmases; may the Star of Bethlehem shine forth on your path; may Your Father who is in Secret, and may Your Divine and Adorable Mother Kundalini, Bless you.
Your own Being.
SAMAEL AUN WEOR.
Chapter XV
We need to die from instant to instant; only with the death of the I do we enter Nirvana; only with the death of the I, the Christ is born in the Divine dwelling of the Soul.
Chapter Sixteen: SUPREME CHRISTMAS MESSAGE 1962-1963
(Year 1 of Aquarius)
SAMAEL AUN WEOR
Kalki Avatar of the New Aquarian Era
Most beloved:
We have arrived at the New Era, and today with jubilation we celebrate the Christmas of the Heart. It is now 1962 years that we have been celebrating the Mystical Birth of Christ in its Christian form. It is urgent to deeply comprehend the path of Intimate Self-realization. Only with self-realization do we attain Christification.
In this message we are going to carefully examine in synthetic form each of the basic factors of Intimate Self-realization.
Evolution and Devolution
The theory of evolution has been converted into an Intransigent Dogma. We do not deny the Law of Evolution. We do not accept Evolution as a Dogma.
Certainly Evolution and her twin sister Devolution are two Mechanical Laws that process themselves simultaneously in all that is created; those two Laws exist and on them is founded all the mechanics of Nature. To deny those two laws would be the height of the absurd. Yet the bad, the mistaken thing, is to attribute to these two laws factors they do not have. It is utterly false to believe that through Evolution we shall arrive at Intimate Self-realization.
The facts are what speak; facts are facts, and before the facts we must surrender. For more than eighteen million years we have been evolving in separated sexes, and yet today, instead of being better, we have become terribly perverse; all theories are no longer needed before the crude reality of our tremendous perversity. We can argue, we can explain, we can affirm that there exist cycles of light, of darkness, that evolution is realized in a spiral; we are very free to say what we wish, and to defend our theories, but what we cannot deny, even when it hurts us, is the Terrible Reality of Our Perversity.
The duly proven corpus delicti speaks for the accused. For us the hydrogen bombs, the atomic bombs, the wars, prostitution, selfishness, hatred, the perversion of good customs, etc., are speaking. What more proofs do we want against the fanatics of the Evolutive Dogma? The laws of Evolution and of Devolution are the Axis of Nature, but they are not the path of Self-realization. Many species are the result of Evolution and many other species are of Devolution; that is all.
The Revolution of Consciousness
If we really want the Christmas of the Heart, a tremendous revolution of consciousness is urgent. Only through revolution can we attain in-depth realization.
The revolution of consciousness has three basic factors which are the following: First To Die, Second To Be Born, Third To Sacrifice Ourselves for Humanity. The order of the three factors does not alter the product. In sum, these are the three parallel lines of intimate self-development. These are the three perfectly defined lines of the Revolution of Consciousness. We must work with these three basic factors if we sincerely want in-depth Self-realization. Let us now study each of these three factors separately in order to know what it is that must die in us, what it is that must be born, and why we must sacrifice ourselves for others.
Mystical Death
Much have we suffered with the brothers of the gnostic movement. Many have sworn fidelity before the Altar of the Lumisials. Many have solemnly promised to work in the great Work of the Father until their total Self-realization. Many are those who have wept, swearing not to withdraw from the Gnostic Movement, ever in life. Yet, and it is painful to say it, all has been in vain; almost all fled, became enemies, blasphemed, fornicated, committed adultery, went off on the black path. Truly these terrible contradictions of the human being have a fatal foundation, a tragic basis. The said foundation is the Plurality of the I.
It is urgent to know that the I is a set of Elementaries, a legion of devils that reproduce in the low animal depths of man. Each elementary is a small I that enjoys a certain self-independence. These I’s, these diabolical elementaries, quarrel with one another. “I must read the newspaper, says the Intellectual I. I will go for a bicycle ride, contradicts the Motor I. I am hungry, declares the I of Digestion. I am cold, says the I of Metabolism, and they will not stop me, exclaims the Passional I in defense of any of these I’s.”
Then come the seven capital sins. Each of them is personified by an Elementary I. Anger, Greed, Lust, Pride, Envy, Sloth, Gluttony. These are the seven diabolical “I’s” that live within ourselves. Then follows the legion of secondary defects. In sum, the I is a Legion of Diabolical Elementaries. These elementaries — already studied by Franz Hartmann — live within the low animal depths of man, eat, sleep, reproduce, and live at the expense of our vital principles.
When death arrives, something continues; that something is the Essence, the Phantom of the Dead. Just as within the cranial box is the brain, just as within the thoracic box are the bronchi, the heart, and so on, so also within the phantom of the dead is the Pluralized I. Each of the elementaries that together constitute the I projects itself in the various levels of the mind and travels yearning for the satisfaction of its desires. The I reincarnates to satisfy desires. The I can never be perfected, because the devil is the devil and will always be the devil.
Man is the city of the nine gates. Within that city live many citizens who do not even know one another; each of those citizens, each of those small I’s, has its projects and its own mind; those are the merchants that Jesus had to drive out of his temple with the whip of will. Those merchants must be killed; now we shall understand why so many inner contradictions within the individual. As long as the Elementary I’s exist, there can be no peace.
The I’s are the causa causarum of all internal contradictions. The I that today swears fidelity to Gnosis is tomorrow displaced by another I that hates Gnosis; the I that today swears eternal love to a woman is displaced tomorrow by another that hates her. In sum, man is an irresponsible being; he does not yet have a Permanent Center of Consciousness. Man is a Being not yet achieved.
Man is not yet man; he is only an Intellectual Animal. It is a very grave error to call the Legion of the I the Soul; Truly man has within his essence the psychic material, the Material for Soul, but he does not yet have a Soul. The Gospels say: “What will it profit you to gain the world if you are going to lose your soul?” Jesus told Nicodemus that it was necessary to be born again, to be born of water and spirit, in order to enjoy the attributes that correspond to a true soul; it is impossible to Fabricate Soul if we do not pass through Mystical Death.
Only by the dying of the I can we establish a Permanent Center of Consciousness within our inner essence. That Center is what is called Soul. Only a man with soul can have true Continuity of Purposes. Only in a man with soul do the inner contradictions not exist. Only where the inner contradictions do not exist is there true inner Peace.
The I clumsily wastes the psychic material in atomic explosions of anger, greed, lust, envy, pride, sloth, gluttony, and so on. It is logical that as long as the psychic material does not accumulate, the soul cannot be fabricated. To fabricate something, Prime Matter is needed; without Prime Matter nothing can be fabricated, because out of nothing, nothing comes. When the I begins to die, the Prime Matter begins to be accumulated. When the Prime Matter begins to accumulate, the Establishment of a Permanent Center of Consciousness begins.
When the I has died absolutely, the Permanent Center of Consciousness has been totally established. The I is the spender; then the capital of psychic material accumulates; thus the Permanent Center of Consciousness is established. That marvelous center is the soul. Only he who has established within himself the Permanent Center of Consciousness can be faithful to Gnosis; only he can have continuity of purposes. Those who do not possess that Center can today be with Gnosis and tomorrow against it, today with one school, tomorrow with another. This class of persons does not have real existence.
Mystical Death is an arduous and difficult task. The I dissolves on the basis of rigorous comprehension. Cohabitation with the neighbor, dealing with people, is the mirror where we can see ourselves in full body. In dealing with people our hidden defects leap out, surface, and if we are vigilant, then we see them. Every defect must first be analyzed intellectually and then studied with Meditation. Many individuals who attained Perfect Chastity and Absolute Sanctity in the Physical World turned out to be Great Fornicators and Frightful Sinners when tested in the Superior Worlds.
They had ended with their defects in the Physical World, but in other Levels of the Mind they continued being Great Sinners. Only with Intellectual Analysis and very profound Meditation can we totally comprehend our defects in all the Levels of the Mind. When a defect is totally comprehended in all the Levels of the Mind, its Corresponding Elementary disintegrates, that is, a small I dies. Each time a Fatal Elementary (an I) dies, something new is born in its place: a virtue, a power of the Soul, a truth, and so on.
It is urgent to die from instant to instant. With the death of the I the Soul is born. We need the death of the Pluralized I in total form.
Fabrication of Spirit
It is necessary to fraction a certain type of high-voltage Seminal atoms to internally liberate a Solar Electronic Substance known in India by the sacred name of Devi Kundalini. That Electronic Substance rises through the medullary canal, along the spinal column. That Igneous Substance transforms the Molecular Matter of the Soul into Spiritual Solar Electronic Matter.
The Electronic Matter is the fire of the Holy Spirit. The Soul is fortified and made robust with the fire of the Holy Spirit. The soul dies little by little when it renounces the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the Third Logos. The Holy Spirit is Sexual Energy. We need to fabricate spirit, and this is only possible by working with the sexual fire of the Holy Spirit. We need to convert the Soul into spirit; we need to work with the Solar Electronic Substance to perform that labor; we need to attain union with the Holy Spirit so that the Divine Spirit may be born within us.
The work with the seminal atoms is the Mastership of Fire. In India the third Logos is Shiva. The symbols of Shiva are the Black Lingam embedded in the Yoni. The wife of Shiva is Parvati, goddess of beauty, love, and felicity. The double aspect of Shiva as creator and destroyer at the same time clearly indicates to us that Love and Death are intimately united. The double aspect of his wife as Parvati, goddess of Love, and as Kali, goddess of Evil.
The misfortune, the illness, and the death, speak clearly to us about the double aspect of the Kundalini. When it ascends through the medullary canal it is Parvati; when it descends toward the atomic infernos of man it is then Kali in her negative aspect. Speaking in Christian language we would say that when the Igneous serpent of our magical powers rises, it is the Divine Mother, and when it descends toward the atomic infernos it is the Holy Mary. The queen of evil, the tempting serpent of Eden.
The great wheel of the Law turns three times for each Confessional Religion. Each of the three turns of the wheel has its vehicle of expression. There exist three vehicles: The Little Vehicle, the Great Vehicle, and the Tantric Vehicle. The little vehicle is exoteric or public. The Great Vehicle is divided into two circles: the secret and the public. The Third Vehicle is absolutely Tantric. With Tantrism that maxim of Christ is fulfilled which says: “Many are called and few are chosen.”
When the Wheel of the Law turns for the third time, the Religious Objective is fulfilled and then the result appears; everything that is done produces a result; every confessional religion founded produces its mathematical result when the wheel of the law turns for the third time. At these moments the wheel of the law is initiating its third turn within the very bosom of Christianity.
The little Christian Vehicle is formed by the various Christian Churches. The Great Christian Vehicle is constituted by Christianity of the Rosicrucian, Theosophist, Spiritualist type, and so on. The Third Vehicle is represented by the Universal Christian Gnostic Movement.
Among the Buddhists the Little Vehicle is Hinayana. The Great Vehicle is Mahayana, and the Tantric Vehicle is Vajrayana. The little Buddhist vehicle prevails in Ceylon, Burma, Siam, and Indochina. The Great Vehicle imposed itself in China, Korea, and Japan. The Tantric Vehicle imposed itself in the mysterious regions of Tibet and outer Mongolia. There exist Three Classes of Tantrism: White, Black, and Gray.
White Tantrism
In White Tantrism there exists connection of the Lingam Yoni without ejaculation of the Ens Seminis. Truly the religious sexual practice is the Maithuna.
Tantric Hatha Yoga intelligently combines all its technique of Mudras, Bandhas, Pratyahara, Kumbhaka with its Maithuna. The immobility of thought, vital breath, and semen, and the non-ejaculation of the Ens Seminis (the entity of the semen) during the Maithuna, constitute the foundation of Tibetan White Tantrism. Truly this is the Essence of Yoga. He who does not know the Essence of Yoga has not yet entered the Path of the Razor’s Edge.
Black Tantrism
In Black Tantrism Ejaculation of the Ens Seminis exists during the Maithuna. The Black Magician then gathers the entity of the semen with a special instrument, extracts it from the vagina of the woman, and thus this semen charged with masculine and feminine atoms is injected through the urethra and mentally absorbed with the purpose of awakening Kundalini.
Gray Tantrism
Gray Tantrism is incoherent, vague, confused. Sometimes they ejaculate the seminal liquor, and sometimes they do not ejaculate it. This class of Tantrism inevitably leads to Black Tantrism.
Yellow Church
Tson-KA-PA, the great Tibetan Reformer, founded in Tibet the Yellow Church and combated terribly the Red Church. The foundation of the Yellow Church is the Maithuna without ejaculation of the Ens Seminis.
The foundation of the Red Church is Maithuna with ejaculation of the Ens Seminis.
The Yellow Church works with White Tantrism; the Red Church works with Black Tantrism.
The Magicians of the Yellow Cap are White. The Magicians of the Red Cap are Black Magicians.
The Two Serpents
With White Tantrism the Igneous Serpent of our Magical Powers rises victorious through the medullary canal. With Black Tantrism the Igneous Serpent descends toward the atomic infernos of man and becomes the tail of Satan.
There exist two serpents; one is the Tempting Serpent of Eden; the other is the Serpent of Brass that healed the Israelites in the Wilderness. When the Serpent ascends, it is the Serpent that coiled around the rod of Aesculapius, the God of Medicine. When the Serpent descends, it is Python, the serpent that crawled in the mire of the earth and which Apollo, enraged, wounded with his darts.
When the serpent ascends, it fortifies the Soul, makes her robust, and fills her with all the powers of the Holy Spirit. When the Serpent descends, it kills the Soul and Strengthens and Fortifies and fills with Shadowy Powers the Satan. Thus man becomes a Frightful and Horrible Beast that is precipitated into the Abyss.
Currently there exist in Our Western World many Black Magicians who teach Black Tantrism. These Magicians disguise themselves in sheep’s clothing and mix the poison of their teaching with doses of Mystical Substances. Yet it is easy to discover them when we comprehend that everyone who teaches the Ejaculation of the Ens Seminis is a Black Magician.
Universal Charity
It is urgent to pass through Mystical Death. It is necessary to fabricate Soul and Spirit. It is indispensable to sacrifice ourselves for Humanity; that is Universal Charity.
Everyone who walks that triple Path arrives inevitably at Intimate Self-realization.
It is urgent to bring this teaching to all human beings. It is necessary to sacrifice ourselves for all our fellow men. That is well-understood Charity. One must Die. One must Be Born. One must give one’s life for our fellow men.
The Inner Buddha
Everyone who already possesses Soul and Spirit can Incarnate his Inner Buddha. If man were to Incarnate his Inner Buddha without having fabricated Soul and Spirit, he would burn; he would not resist the tremendous Voltage of the Buddhic Energy and would die; such is the Law. “For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.” “And cast ye the Unprofitable Servant (that is, he who is not capable of fabricating Soul or Spirit) into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (Matthew 25:29-30)
The Inner Christ
Everyone who Incarnates the Buddha is a Buddha. Every Buddha who renounces the felicity of Nirvana for Love of Humanity can attain the Venustic Initiation. Those who manage to reach this Initiation Incarnate the inner Christ. That is the Christmas of the Heart. Christ will have been born uselessly in Bethlehem if he is not born in our heart also. We need to celebrate the Christmas of the Heart, and this is only possible by incarnating our Resplendent Dragon of Wisdom, the Inner Christ.
He is always incarnated in his Buddhas of Perfection to save the world. He always comes to the Manger of the World to fight for the Redemption of all human beings. He is neither a Human nor a Divine Individual. He is the Verb, the Army of the Voice, the Great Word, the Perfect Multiple Unity.
It is urgent that the Verb become flesh in us, and this is only possible by Incarnating the Inner Christ.
Among the Egyptians the Christ is Osiris, and all those who Incarnated him were considered Osirified ones. Hermes was an Osirified one. Among the Greeks Christ is Zeus. In the cult of Zoroaster, Christ is Ahura Mazda. Among the Tibetans Christ is Yama-Raja. In Aztec Mexico Christ is Quetzalcoatl, and so on.
In all the Religious Theogonies Christ is born in a humble manger. In all the Theogonies Christ is always the son of a Virgin and the result of an Immaculate Conception of the Holy Spirit.
Truly Christ is Son of a Divine Mother, virgin and always Virgin in Childbirth, before Childbirth and after Childbirth. The Divine Mother holds the Child in her arms. She is the Kundalini, the Igneous serpent of our Magical powers. Christ without the serpent can do nothing. The Serpent of Fire is the Virgin Mother.
Paul of Tarsus advises forming Christ in us; this is only possible when we have attained the full development of the Kundalini. Christ could not incarnate in us as long as we have not attained the full and total development of the Kundalini.
The Tantras
The Tantras constitute Tantrism in its Integral form. The Tantras can be used for good or for evil, for White Magic or for Black; any System of Intimate Self-Education without the Tantras is of purely Exoteric character. (Public.)
The Tantras contain the Liturgy, the Mantrams, the Maithuna (Arcanum A.Z.F.), and other esoteric exercises. The White Magicians use the Tantras for Good. The Black Magicians use the Tantras for Evil.
Christification
My brothers: This Christmas of 1962 I want you to understand the path of Christification. This is the path of Regeneration. I have taught you Western Tantrism. I have documented this Tantrism with synthetic information of Eastern Tantrism. Remember well that Sexual Regeneration is impossible without the death of the I. The Serpent rises in accord with the merits of the heart; as the I goes on dying, the serpent goes on rising, if we work in the Mastership of Fire.
Sexual Magic and the Death of the I are like a pair of twins who go hand in hand. This Doctrine is taught in the School of the Secrets of China, in the Tantric Buddhism of Tibet. In the Zen Buddhism of Japan, and so on. Understand this, brothers. Understand it in depth; do not separate these two aspects of Self-Realization and complete them with Universal Charity.
Summary of This Message
It is urgent to walk the path of Peter, working with the Philosopher’s Stone (sex). It is necessary to reach the path of John (the verb). On the path of Peter we work very intensely in the Lit Forge of Vulcan. On the path of John, the Verb must be realized in us through successive Cosmic Initiations. The path of Peter and the path of John are separated by an abyss. Someone must fall into the abyss for the Drama of Cosmic Initiation to be initiated in us. The one who falls is Judas, the I, the Myself, the Reincarnating Ego that sells the Christ for Thirty pieces of Silver.
It is necessary that Judas, the I, the Myself, die. That is the Law. It is indispensable for the Gnostic Disciple to lay a bridge between the path of Peter and the path of John. That bridge is Death. We have already spoken clearly; we have already said that without the death of the I (Judas), Regeneration is impossible. Peter died like the Lord Jesus, but crucified head-down. Peter with his death shows us the path of the Stone, the work with the Philosopher’s Stone (sex). Jesus calls Peter Cephas, which translated means Stone. John tranquilly rested his head on the heart of Jesus. The Verb is nourished with Love. The Verb is in the Christ, and the Christ is in the Verb, which we must make flesh through successive Initiations.
The Verb (John) remains until He (The Christ) returns. This was possible by what Judas did quickly.
Everyone who awakens Consciousness must lay the Bridge between the path of Peter and the path of John. We need to receive the Kiss of the Divine Mother Kundalini. That Kiss is Life and Death. It is Solemn Death that leads to the Divine Resurrection of the Fire.
Listen, Gnostic: You are the Adam of Mud; cook your mud and your Water in the Sacred fire so that when the water evaporates and the dust of your mud returns to dust, your Amphora of Salvation may remain, alive in the Love of our Hidden God.
My Brothers. I wish you Merry Christmases.
May the Star of Bethlehem Shine forth on Your Path.
Inverential Peace
SAMAEL AUN WEOR.

Gnosis
You must understand, my brother, personality within impersonality. Now you must comprehend that the illusion of separativity is a heresy and that the selfish personality of those who only want to be themselves and nothing more is the worst of heresies.
When I, AUN WEOR, affirm that we must have a strong and potent I, and a robust and powerful personality, I am not referring to the selfish personality, nor to the ANIMAL I… I refer only to the DIVINE I and to our gigantic personality formed by all the beings of the infinite.
=
We recognize individuality within the Unity of life, and although we know that the drop sinks into the ocean, we also know that the ocean sinks into the drop.
=
You must listen only to the INNERMOST, who resides in the heart; you must learn to hear the voice of silence.

“And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat. But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” (Genesis 2:16-17)
The forbidden fruit made us conscious of the science of good and evil. We left Eden, but we acquired self-independence. Man sank into the atomic infernos of nature when he left Eden. Fortunately a Savior was sent to us. Christ. We must enter Eden by the same gate through which we left.
Jehovah gave us his commandments. Lucifer gave us individual self-independence, and Christ redeems us from sin. The divine Master opened the path of initiation to all human beings.
“And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.”
Those who seek the elevation of self must govern their tongue.
Everyone who says: I am a Great Master, I am a Great Initiate, I possess Great Powers; I am the reincarnation of Such-and-Such, or Such-and-Such Hero; even when he really is, must know that it is a Prince of this world, his Satan, who glorifies himself in all these things. Truly no one has anything to be proud or vain about, because as men, here below we are miserable sinners, clay, dust of the earth; and above, there in the heavens, one is only a superdivine atom of the Abstract and Absolute Space.
When man is a fornicator, his tongue speaks evil. Defamation, murmuration, calumny, are born from the sinful tongue. No one has the right to judge anyone. No one has the right to condemn anyone. No one is more than anyone. The words of the student must be filled with infinite love, with infinite sweetness, with infinite harmony, and with infinite peace.

Chapter Seventeen: SUPREME CHRISTMAS MESSAGE 1963-1964
SAMAEL AUN WEOR
Buddha Maitreya — Kalki Avatar of the New Aquarian Era
Most beloved:
Christmas Eve of 1963 has arrived, year 2 of Aquarius, and it becomes necessary that we study the process of the Christification of the human being. Listen to me, most beloved: Paul of Tarsus (the Master Hilarion) says that we need to form Christ within ourselves. It is necessary that we deeply understand this whole process of the Formation of Christ within us. This is what we are going to study in this Message.
The Astral Body
Much has been said about the Astral Body, but in reality the Intellectual Animal falsely called man still does not possess an Astral Body. The intellectual animal has only a body of desires, a molecular body — that is all. This vehicle is commonly called the Astral Body, but in truth that is not the Astral Body. We need to create an Astral Body for ourselves if we truly yearn for the Birth of Christ in our own heart.
The Hydrogen Si-12
The human organism is a true factory. The human organism transmutes coarse Hydrogens into subtle Hydrogens. From the air we extract many Substances that science ignores. When we inhale we introduce Hydrogens into our body, and when we exhale we lose the finest particles of these Hydrogens, if we are not capable of retaining them wisely.
In order to retain the finest substances within our organism, it is necessary to possess a certain quantity of those corresponding substances; these latter then serve as a magnet that acts upon the inhaled air, always attracting the finest substances. Once again we arrive at the old Law of Alchemy. “In order to produce gold, it is necessary to have a certain quantity of true gold.”
The Gospel says: “To him who has shall be given, and the more he has the more shall be given him; but to him who has nothing nothing shall be given, and even what he has shall be taken away.”
Truly all of Alchemy is only an allegorical description of the Laboratory of our physical body and of the transformation of coarse substances into finer substances.
The new Birth of which we have spoken so much in all our past messages is Absolutely sexual. A Great Sage said: “The Hydrogen SI-12 represents the final product of the transformation of food in the human organism. This is the matter with which Sex works and which Sex manufactures. It is seed or fruit.”
It is clear that the Sexual Hydrogen is processed in the human organism in accordance with the seven notes of the musical scale, from Do to Si. However, the Hydrogen SI-12 can pass to the Do of the next higher octave with the help of the Maithuna, Sexual Magic, the Arcanum A.Z.F.
The sexual union of man and woman during the Maithuna (Without Ejaculation of the Ens Seminis) produces a second higher octave, developing a new independent organism, luminous and resplendent, very different from the one used by the disincarnate. That new organism is the true and legitimate Astral Body. The Astral Body is truly born from the same Semen, from the same substance, from the same seed that gives origin to the Physical Body; the only thing that differs is the procedure. The intimate depths, the Vitalism of the living Cell, becomes saturated with the Hydrogen SI-12, and when all the organic cells are totally saturated and impregnated with this Sexual Hydrogen, then that substance crystallizes into the splendid form of the Astral Body.
This is what in Alchemy is known as the Transmutation of Lead into Gold. Truly only persons who possess an astral body live Consciously in the Internal Worlds, both during the sleep of the Physical Body and after Death.
In occult Literature the name Astral Body is given to the body of desires mentioned by Max Heindel; Truly the Body of Desires for now replaces the Astral Body, but it is not the Astral Body.
The body of desires is a cold molecular body, ghostly, unconscious. The body of desires is the body of death used by ordinary common disincarnate beings.
Food for the Astral Body
The Astral Body is the splendid and marvelous vehicle normally used by the Angels and Masters of the Great White Lodge. This luminous vehicle, after being born, also needs its food in order to grow, develop, and strengthen.
It is urgent to know that the food for the Astral Body is manufactured by the human organism, which sustains itself with Hydrogen 48, but the surplus of this Hydrogen is converted into Hydrogen 24, with which the Astral Body is nourished.
The initiate must not Squander Hydrogen 48 in order to have a good surplus of this Hydrogen, to manufacture the Hydrogen 24 that must serve as basic food for the Astral Body.
A great Master speaking on this subject said: “Energy is squandered especially in unnecessary or unpleasant emotions, whether these are possible or impossible, in bad manners, in unnecessary haste, in nervousness, in irritability, in fantasy, in daydreaming, etc.”
Energy is wasted through the malfunctioning of the centers; in unnecessary muscular tension, tension that bears no proportion to the work produced; in the interest we place in the things happening around us, or in the people surrounding us who in truth hold no real interest; in the constant waste of attention, etc.
The organism receives from the outside coarse Hydrogens, raw material that must be transmuted by means of Alchemy into subtle Hydrogens which must then crystallize in a very special form, to create the internal bodies.
The Astral is a splendid crystallization of the Hydrogen SI-12.
Just as the physical body is engendered through the sexual act, so too the Astral body is engendered through the Sexual act. Just as the physical body is born, so the astral body is born; just as the child needs food for the growth of its tissues, so too the Astral body needs Hydrogen 24 as food to achieve development and growth. Interior growth, the development of the interior bodies — the astral, the mental, etc. — is a material process completely analogous to the growth of the physical body.
The Mental Body
Much has been said about the Mind in Pseudo-Occult, Pseudo-Esoteric literature, etc. We have always asked ourselves: To which mind are the occultists referring? We have thousands of minds — to which of them do they intend to refer?
Truly the plurality of the I is the basis of the plurality of the mind.
The I is a legion of Devils; each Devil has his own mind. The organic machine lies under the dominion of many Devils who do not even know one another. Devils who quarrel among themselves. Devils who fight for supremacy. Devils of desire, Devils of memories, Cravings, Fears, Hatreds, Violences, Passions, Envies, Greed, Lust, Pride, Jealousies, Wrath, etc.
The mind has no individuality, and yet pseudo-occult texts speak marvels about human individuality. So much ignorance causes pain. Egolatry is the basis of Ignorance. We need to dissolve the reincarnating Ego. Only by dissolving the ego, only by the dying of the me-myself, only by DE-EGOIZING OURSELVES, do we INDIVIDUALIZE ourselves. However individuality is not everything; later we must arrive at supra-individuality.
The mind must pass through a supreme death and a supreme birth. It is necessary that the Ego die. It is urgent that the Mental Body be born. We must work with death; we must work with life. With death we work based on profound comprehension. With life we practice Sexual Magic. We die little by little. We are born little by little. We need to die from instant to instant. We need to be born from instant to instant.
By means of the Maithuna, Sexual Magic, the Hydrogen SI-12, after crystallizing in the Astral Body, receives a new Shock that places it on the Do of a third musical octave. Then we acquire a Mental Body.
That is the system to attain a mental body. Thus the Mental Body is Born. The Mental Body gives us true mental individuality. The Mental Body converts us into individuals. Only with the mental body do we individualize ourselves. It is false to say that we are already individualized. As of today we are only machines controlled by the Legion of the I. That is all.
The Surplus of the vital substances not spent in the Astral body can then be used for the nourishment of the mental body. The Hydrogen 24, by not being totally spent in the Astral body, is converted into Hydrogen 12, which serves to feed the mental body.
A great master said: “All the substances for the sustenance of the life of the organism, for psychic work, for the higher functions of the Conscious, and for the growth of the superior bodies, are produced by the organism on the basis of the foods it receives from outside: The organism receives three kinds of foods. First: The ordinary food we ingest every day. Second: The Air that we breathe. Third: Our impressions.” The process of transformation of the substances that enter the organism, the transformation of coarse substances into finer ones, lies under the Governance of the law of the musical Octaves and the mental body. Let us now study the body of conscious will.
The Body of Conscious Will
People believe they have conscious will when in reality they only have desires that, concentrated in this or that direction, are falsely dominated as willpower, when in reality it is only the force of desire.
We need to acquire the body of conscious will. This is known in occult literature as the causal body. Fakirs, Monks, Yogis, and Gnostics all coincide in the purpose of acquiring the body of conscious will, because we know very well that this body is what makes us immortal in the fullest sense of the word.
In truth this body can only be acquired with the Maithuna, Sexual Magic, or the Arcanum A.Z.F.
The Fakir attains mastery of his physical body and Strengthens his force of will, but he does not succeed in acquiring the body of conscious will.
The Monk attains complete control of his emotions, but he does not obtain the body of conscious will.
The Yogi attains total control over his mind, but does not succeed in acquiring the body of conscious will.
Fakirs, Monks, and Yogis must resolve sooner or later to work with the Hydrogen SI-12 with the purpose of truly acquiring the body of conscious will.
The surplus of the Hydrogen SI-12 after having crystallized as the mental body needs an additional Shock that will place it on the note Do of a fourth octave of the musical scale.
The Fourth Octave of the musical scale gives rise to the crystallization of the Hydrogen SI-12 in the resplendent form of the body of conscious will, which makes us immortal.
The surplus of the Hydrogen SI-12 not spent in the mental body is then converted into Hydrogen 6, with which the body of conscious will is nourished.
Only one who already possesses the body of conscious will truly possesses what is called true will. Whoever possesses the body of conscious will is no longer a victim of circumstances; he is capable, very capable, of determining circumstances — they no longer determine him.
The Four Bodies
In Christian esotericism the four bodies are called the carnal body, the natural body, the spiritual body, and the divine body.
The physical is the carnal body, the Astral is the natural body, the mental is the spiritual body, and the causal the Divine body.
Truly, before possessing these four bodies we are only intellectual animals and nothing more. Only one who already possesses the four bodies can encounter his triune spirit, his divine monad, in order to become a true human being.
The Problem of the Soul
Many people have written to us, terrified by our affirmation that the human being does not yet have a soul. Some have called us materialists. The human being truly has within himself the essence with which to manufacture soul, a fraction of his causal principle, the psychic material with which he must manufacture soul.
The Essence is transformed into soul by dissolving the I. The latter clumsily wastes the psychic material in atomic explosions of Wrath, Greed, Lust, Envy, Pride, Sloth, Gluttony, etc.
Once the I is dissolved, the squanderer is finished, and then the Essence grows strong, to be transformed into a soul that can be either mortal or immortal. It is mortal if it does not receive the fire of the Holy Spirit. That sacred fire results only from the intelligent transmutation of our sexual secretions by means of the Maithuna.
The Four Bodies, the Essence and the Spirit
Whoever already possesses the four bodies, whoever has manufactured soul by working with the Essence and truly loves Humanity, has the privilege of incarnating his divine Monad. This Monad is divine spirit and cosmic soul. This Monad is triune, immortal, and is beyond eternity and time.
Max Heindel calls the triune spirit by the names divine spirit, life spirit, and human spirit. The Theosophists call this triad: Atman-Buddhi-Manas.
Truly we possess of this divine triad only a fraction, the essence, the raw material with which to manufacture soul.
It is false to assert that the triune spirit is already lodged within the body. We must first build the Temple (create the four bodies) upon the living stone (sex). Only one who possesses the four bodies can incarnate his divine triad. Only one who incarnates his divine triad is a true human being.
The intellectual animal falsely called man is only an embryo, with possibilities of development that may either develop or be lost definitively. It is not a law that these possibilities unfold; what is most natural is that they be definitively lost.
The law of evolution and its twin sister, the LAW of involution or retrogression, are purely mechanical laws that have nothing to do with intimate self-realization.
Whoever wishes to self-realize in depth needs the revolution of consciousness. When we dissolve the I there is revolution of consciousness. When we create the four bodies there is revolution of consciousness. When we incarnate our divine triad there is revolution of Consciousness.
To be born, to die, to sacrifice ourselves for humanity, are the three basic factors of the revolution of consciousness. We Gnostics are totally revolutionary. We want total revolution.
Crystallization of the Hydrogen Si-12
The four bodies result from the crystallization of the Hydrogen SI-12 by means of the law of the musical octaves. Every adept results from the crystallization of the Hydrogen SI-12.
There are positive crystallizations and negative crystallizations. Any sincerely mistaken person can crystallize in a negative form. The adepts of the left-hand path are negative crystallizations. Negative crystallizations result from black Tantrism.
Maithuna with spilling of the seminal liquor is black Tantrism.
Anyone who has crystallized negatively, upon discovering his error, must dissolve his crystallization, and this is a terribly painful work. If the Adept of the black hand does not dissolve his crystallization willingly, then he enters the mineral kingdom to share the fate of the mineral. In truth the mineral is the Avitchi and lies beneath the surface of the earth, and its densest zones correspond to the lithosphere and barysphere of the earth.
In the Avitchi exists the law of Involution, which causes the tenebrous to retrogress through the human, animal, vegetable, and mineral states.
The final result for those who enter the Avitchi is final disintegration.
The Venustic Initiation
Every true human being has the right to receive the Venustic Initiation. The intellectual animal falsely called man does not have the right to receive the Venustic Initiation.
The true human being must work very intensely to carry the Hydrogen SI-12 up to the Seventh musical Octave. The fifth and sixth Octaves correspond to Buddhi and Atman, respectively.
When the Hydrogen SI-12 reaches the seventh musical octave, the Venustic Initiation comes. Then and only then do we truly celebrate the Christmas of the Heart. It will be useless if Christ has been born in Bethlehem if he does not also be born in our heart. The resplendent dragon of wisdom is the Inner Christ of every true human being who comes into the world.
If we wish to celebrate the Christmas of the heart, we need to become true human beings. The intellectual animal cannot celebrate the Christmas of the Heart. It is necessary that each of us become a true human being.
It is urgent to incarnate the Christ. Whoever incarnates the Inner Christ becomes the Solar Human Being, the Living Christ.
The Hypocritical Pharisees
The Hypocritical Pharisees never self-realize themselves. They are the ones who are horrified when they see someone eat meat or drink a glass of wine; the outside of the cup and the plate they cleanse, yet the interior of their consciences and of their minds is full of rapine and wickedness.
“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, who criticize the foolishness of your neighbor, but who are like sepulchres that are not seen, and the men that walk over them do not know it.”
We knew of the case of a lady who criticized anyone who ate a piece of meat or drank a glass of wine, but she had two husbands. We knew of the case of a man who spoke sweetly and dispensed blessings everywhere, but who had no objection whatsoever to murdering thousands of citizens.
“Woe unto you, Pharisees, who love the chief seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the marketplaces.”
Those who betray the peoples demand sweetness, and they criticize those who deal with the severity of the law. Those are the Pharisees who are scandalized by everything, but who sell Christ for thirty pieces of silver.
Intimate Self-Realization does not lie in what we eat nor in what we abstain from eating. Intimate Self-Realization has nothing to do with the postures of feigned meekness, nor with the cloying sweetness of the Sanctimonious. Intimate Self-Realization is not for the Witless, nor for the Sanctimonious, nor for any Hypocritical Pharisee.
Intimate Self-Realization is only for the Revolutionaries. Intimate Self-Realization is for those who know how to draw the maximum benefit from the Marrow and the Semen. Intimate Self-Realization is for those who resolve to die from instant to instant. Intimate Self-Realization is for those who sacrifice themselves for humanity.
No hypocritical Pharisee, no Sanctimonious person, shall enter the Kingdom of Magic and of Esotericism. Those who do not dance a musical piece, those who are horrified because someone is cheerful, those who cross themselves because a neighbor drank a glass of wine or ate a piece of meat, will not enter the Kingdom, my brethren.
Understand, most beloved, that Intimate Self-Realization is solely for those who enter through the narrow gate and the strait path. There is only one gate and one path; that gate and that path is Sex. Whoever tells you that there are many paths is lying, because Jesus the Christ truly taught only one path and one gate. Beware of the Hypocritical Pharisees who say to you sweet but mendacious words.
Beware of those who believe themselves wiser than Christ, affirming that there are many paths, when in truth He taught only one path. Beware of those Hypocritical Pharisees who tell you that the law of Evolution will carry you to the goal.
Know that Evolution and its twin sister the law of Involution are merely mechanical laws that cannot Self-Realize anyone, because Self-Realization cannot be the result of mechanics. Be meek and humble in thoughts, words, and works, but when it comes to truth, be strong in thoughts, words, and works.
If you want Intimate Self-Realization, you must revolutionize yourselves and fight, sword in hand, against yourselves, against nature, against the cosmos, against everything and against everyone. The Kingdom of Heaven is taken by storm; the valiant have taken it.
My brethren, I wish you Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.
May the Star of Bethlehem shine upon your path.
Inverential Peace.
