Tarot and Kabbalah

PROLOGUE

La Kabbalah is lost in the night of the centuries, there where the Universe was gestated in the womb of Maha Kundalini, the Great Mother. Kabbalah is the Science of Numbers.

The author of the Tarot was the Angel METATRON; he is the chief of the Wisdom of the Serpent and was the prophet ENOCH of whom the Bible speaks.

The Angel METATRON, or Enoch, left us the Tarot, in which is contained all of the Divine Wisdom; it was written in stone.

He also left us the 22 letters of the Hebrew Alphabet. This great Master lives in the Superior Worlds, in the World of Aziluth, in a world of inconceivable felicity — according to Kabbalah, in the Region of Kether, a rather elevated Sephirah.

All Kabbalists base themselves upon the Tarot; it is necessary to know it and study it thoroughly. The Universe is made with the Law of Number, Measure, and Weight; Mathematics form the Universe; Numbers are living entities.

Whoever penetrates into CHESED, the World of the Spirit, pure and ineffable, can verify in that region that everything there is reduced to numbers; it is a terribly real region. In this world we do not see things as they are, but only the images of things. In Chesed one knows how many atoms a table has, how much KARMA the world owes, one knows how many molecules live in each body — it is a World of Mathematics, the Realistic World; in this World one believes one is going to be set apart from the reality of the world, and there one lives in the Reality.

In a temple one knows what quantity of people are Self-realized and who are not. If one enters a kitchen, one knows what quantity of atoms the foods we are going to eat contain. It is a Terribly Realistic World. In the World of Chesed one comes to know who is a true Man.

One night when I was in the World of Chesed, I entered into a theatre. There the Karmas were being weighed, and on a screen, which is that of creation, one saw the Masters of Karma passing by; and upon a great balance the Karma of the two greatest powers of the world was placed, one upon each pan, and the balance tilted against the Colossus of the North. It owes a great Karma; it is in decline; it is going to fall thunderstruck, because what is owed must be paid in one form or another.

The Theosophists speak of Planes and Sub-planes, and these are the TEN SEPHIROTH — TEN EMANATIONS OF THE ETERNAL MOTHER SPACE, TEN WAVES THAT SERVE AS THE FOUNDATION OF THE GREAT MOTHER.

The Seven Planets of the Solar System are the Seven Sephiroth, and the Triune Spiritual Sun is the Sephirothic Crown. These SEPHIROTH live and pulse within our Consciousness, and we must learn to manipulate and combine them in the marvelous laboratory of our Inner Universe. Thanks to the Sephiroth, one can be transformed into a Man; there are also SEPHIRAHS — just as there are Positive Ions, so too there are Negative Ions.

WE NEED TO REALIZE THOSE TEN SEPHIROTH BECAUSE THEY ARE HERE WITH US, HERE AND NOW. Those Ten Sephiroth realized within an individual transform him into a Self-realized being; they appear like precious gems set within him — it is something marvelous.

The SEPHIROTHIC Crown is formed by Kether, Chokmah, and Binah; one must comprehend the foundation of these three Sephiroth.

• The Father, the First Logos, Kether, Wisdom.

• The Son, the Second Logos, Chokmah, Love.

• The Holy Spirit, the Third Logos, Binah, Power, the Holy Igneous, Flaming Principle.

• KETHER: He is the Ancient of Days, the Hidden of the hidden, the Goodness of goodnesses; he has 31 ringlets and his beard has 13 locks — the 13 symbolizing the Word, the Verb. Wonderful things have been spoken of him; one can have audience with him through SAMADHI (Ecstasy) in order to receive his orders.

He is Infinite Mercy, Integral Wisdom.

• CHOKMAH: He is the Christ; he is Love. The Christ waits so that the disciple may someday work in the Ninth Sphere, and he prepares him with infinite love. The Instructor of the world is Love.

• BINAH: The Holy Spirit, Igneous Power. A Hierophant once had to heal a demented woman and achieved her cure; the Hierophant asked the relatives of the sick woman for money on loan. Afterward he had an audience with the Holy Spirit, who took on the figure of a white dove.

The Hierophant asked whether he was doing well, and the Holy Spirit answered him that he was doing badly: “I AM THE ONE WHO HEALS,” he told him; in view of this the Master had to return the money. IF ONE HAS THE POWER TO HEAL AND ONE CHARGES, ONE COMMITS A VERY GRAVE OFFENSE.

In the Inner Worlds one speaks much in Kabbalah; one must know how to add in Kabbalistic Numbers. If a Master is asked, “How long am I going to live?”, he would answer in numbers.

The aim of studying Kabbalah is to make ourselves competent in the Superior Worlds. For example: an Initiate once asked for Clairvoyance, and internally he was answered, “It shall be done in 8 days.” He who does not know returns to the Physical Body believing that within 8 days — if today is, for example, Wednesday — then the next Wednesday he will be a clairvoyant. In reality, “8” is the Number of Job, and they were indicating to him that he must have patience. He who is ignorant remains confused in the Inner Worlds; Kabbalah is fundamental for understanding the language of those worlds.

It is obvious that Kabbalistic studies must be accompanied by work upon oneself; Consciousness must be made of those studies, because if they remain in the intellect, upon dying they are lost; and if Consciousness is made of them, they manifest from infancy.

An Initiate once wished to know how he was progressing in the esoteric studies, and his Guru spoke to him Kabbalistically, saying: “You are 58 minutes short of finishing the work, and you must bring 36 Bolívars of 32 Kg, and the initiations must be qualified.”

MINUTES 58 = 13 — DEATH.

LIBERATORS 36 = 9 — THE NINTH SPHERE.

KILOGRAMS 32 = 5 — THE PENTALPHA.

If an Initiate is 58 minutes short, it means he no longer has even an hour to liberate himself: 5 + 8 = 13, Death. If one speaks of minutes, it is because little time remains.

The 36 Bolívars, San Martins, or Morelos are the liberators: 3 + 6 = 9, the Ninth Sphere, the Sex; the work with the Lance — 36 fundamental basic works.

THE 32 KILOGRAMS FOR THE 32 PATHS, THE PENTALPHA.

58 + 36 + 32 = 126 = 1 + 2 + 6 = 9.

ALL OF THE WORK IS THAT OF THE NINTH SPHERE; this is the Kabbalistic Language used in the White Lodge. It should not be forgotten that the sums among themselves are Kabbalistic Sums; one must be one hundred percent practical.

When the meaning of the 22 Arcana is known, the practical part of PREDICTION shall be studied, so that it may be used intelligently in cases of great importance. The 22 Arcana must be learned by heart; in order to be complete Kabbalists one must study, one must engrave these teachings in memory.

DESCRIPTION AND ESOTERIC STUDY OF THE TAROT

The Initiatory Path in the Arcana of TAROT AND KABBALAH

Chapter One: FIRST PART

“And if any of you lacks Wisdom, let him ask of God (the Inner God),

who gives to all liberally and without reproach. It shall be given to him.”

“But let him ask in faith, doubting nothing; for he who doubts is like a wave

of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.”

— James 1:5-6

Chapter Two: ARCANUM 1, “THE MAGICIAN”

DESCRIPTION OF THE CARD:

In the upper part, the eyes represent the Eyes of the FATHER; internally they represent the Infinite, the Holy Eight, the Caduceus of Mercury, the 8 Kabirs who govern the planet.

The Magician is in profile, the right side, signifying that for that which is manifested the entire right side is appropriate. From his forehead the SERPENT projects, indicating that it is raised — that he is a Self-realized Master.

In his left hand he holds the STAFF OF POWER, which symbolizes the Spinal Medulla pointing toward the infinite; with his right hand he points to the Earth, indicating that he dominates it with science — that one must rise from below: “One cannot ascend without first descending.” One must descend into the Ninth Sphere, which has two representations: first, Sex, the Cubic Stone; second, the Nine Circles, the Atomic Hells into which the Initiate must descend. It symbolizes “to descend in order to ascend.”

Upon his robe is a triangle with the vertex pointing upward; this represents the 3 Primary Forces united in Kether, the 1. To one side is a table which represents the 4 Elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Air), the Physical plane.

Upon the table are found various elements in disorder: the SWORD of Power, the LINGAM (the masculine sexual organ), a CHALICE which represents the physical brain and at the same time the YONI (the feminine sexual organ), and a MOON which must be transformed into the Sun.

Beneath the table is the IMMORTAL IBIS, the Phoenix Bird, the Swan Kala-Hamsa, the Holy Spirit who symbolizes Love. It is beneath the table to indicate that it is by means of the Sacred Fire of the Third Logos that one must put in order the disordered elements upon the table.

In the lower part, in THE WATERS OF LIFE, we find the Cubic Stone, the Philosophical Stone already worked, indicating to us the work which must be carried out; this is the Cubic Stone of Yesod, the Sex: “STONE OF STUMBLING AND ROCK OF SCANDAL.”

ESOTERIC MEANING OF THE ARCANUM:

The esoteric study of the Tarot is divided into two parts: the ESOTERIC and the MATHEMATICAL. The first consists of the 22 Arcana; afterward, the advances begin through Mathematics.

Arcanum No. 1 is The Magician — that which initiates, that which commences, the One, the Unity, the Divine Spirit of each person, the Monad or Immortal Spark of every human being, of every creature. The One is the Mother of all the Units; the One unfolds into the Two, which is the following Arcanum: The Priestess.

In Arcanum No. 1 we enter into the Holy Regnum of Magic. Above the head one sees the Holy Eight represented by two eyes; it is the Symbol of the Infinite, representing the 8 Kabirs, symbol of Life and of Death.

In the center of the Earth, in the Ninth Sphere, this sacred symbol of the Infinite is found. Upon this symbol all organisms revolve, just as the organism of the human body within him who wishes to Self-realize; there is always an eternal struggle: “Brain against Sex,” “Sex against Brain,” “Heart against Heart.” But if SEX DOMINATES THE BRAIN, the fall is produced, and the Pentagram (representing the Master) remains with its points upward and the head downward.

The Holy Eight is a very important and interesting symbol; it contains, defines, and links together the magnetic currents which are established between the Earthly Man and the Spiritual Man. Such a sign joins or separates all the elements governed by atomic energy, if it is traced with the middle, index, and thumb fingers upon the surface of the Cardiac Plexus.

Practice

“Put the mind quiet and in silence; let yourself become drowsy while thinking of the figure of the Holy Eight (Infinite); make tracings over the heart in accordance with the foregoing description. Allow that figure to sink into your Consciousness; then place the mind in blankness, without thinking of anything. Thus, after a certain time, YOU WILL AWAKEN CONSCIOUSNESS IN THAT REGION WHICH IS CALLED THE ASTRAL WORLD.”

If we observe the spinal column we shall see the Holy Eight, and there the Caduceus of Mercury or Hermes, which represents the two ganglionic cords which entwine themselves about the spinal medulla and which are: Ida and Pingala, the Two Witnesses, the Two Olive Trees, the Two Candlesticks which stand before the Throne of the God of the Earth, and which ascend to the brain as far as the Pineal gland, then to the Pituitary between the eyebrows, finally arriving at the heart by a most fine thread called the Amrita-Nadi.

Up the right cord rise the Solar Atoms; up the left rise the Lunar Atoms. When they ascend by the spinal column, they ignite our Magical Powers. The Holy Eight is, has been, and shall be the key to everything. A Magician does not exist without the Holy Eight.

If one considers the tracing of this symbol, we see that it contains a double circuit where the two forces cross — one closes and the other opens. THIS IS THE KEY TO OPENING ALL DOORS. It opens our Inner Temple; it is the sign that opens the Book of the Seven Seals. In the Sacred Order of Tibet it is used for everything. This Order, of which we have the high honor of representing here in Mexico, is the most powerful of all the eastern tradition. It is composed of 201 members; the high body is composed of 72 Brahmans; the Great Regent of said order is the Great Guruji Bagavan Aclaiva. The Sacred Order of Tibet is the genuine depository of the Royal Treasure of Aryavarta. This treasure is the Arcanum A.Z.F.

Exercise

“Moments before lying down, concentrate upon the Sacred Order of Tibet and upon the Holy Eight, calling upon the Master Bagavan Aclaiva; he will help one to leave in the Astral Body.” On any given night we shall be summoned to the Lodge of Tibet, and we shall be submitted in the Temple of the Himalayas to seven trials; when they call one, they pull one by the feet to present oneself standing up.

But one must have valor, because they will be submitted to many tests, and very hard ones. They will be decapitated and pierced through the heart with a sword; one must have valor. He who has aspiration and constancy triumphs. The Sacred Order of Tibet is very exigent; there are found the true Regents of humanity.

The Fire of the Phlegethon and the Water of the Acheron cross each other in the Ninth Sphere, the Sex, forming the sign of the Infinite. One must work with the Water and the Fire, origin of Beasts, Men, and Gods — “he who wishes to ascend must first descend.” This is terrible. This is the supreme test; almost all of us fail.

Everything in life has a price; nothing is given to us as a gift. Self-realization costs one’s life; one must have valor, and perhaps one will be admitted into the Sacred Order of Tibet.

Just as the Earth is constituted, so likewise is our organism constituted; we need to work and to descend into our own Internal Worlds — into our own Hells.

One must work with Sex; this is the Cubic Stone of Yesod.

”

Arcanum No. 1 is The Magician — that which initiates, that which commences, the One, the Unity, the Divine Spirit of each person, the Monad or Immortal Spark of every human being, of every creature.

Chapter Three: ARCANUM 2, “THE PRIESTESS”

DESCRIPTION OF THE CARD:

In the Waters of Life appear two columns of the temple of Isis, the white JACHIN and the black BOAZ; each one has four steps, signifying the Four Bodies of Sin (Physical, Vital, Astral, Mental). Above appears a Mistress seated between two larger columns. She is within a Temple; she is facing us, which is why the columns are reversed. Her being seated indicates her Passive aspect; in Arcanum No. 1, The Magician, is standing — the Active aspect. She is showing her left profile, her Negative aspect.

On her lap is a half-opened book which she half covers with her mantle, indicating that she is Wisdom — she teaches Kabbalah. On her chest is the Ansate Cross, the symbol of life, the foundation, Venus, the Tau Cross. The cross over the bare breast signifies that her product, the milk, is the Virtues.

The Serpent upon her forehead indicates MASTERY — that it is raised.

Upon her head are the horns of the Sacred Bull APIS, the spouse of the Divine Cow; internally the horns symbolize the Father, and externally the “Psychological I” (our Defects). We also find the attributes of the little Calf or Kabir. The circle is the Serpent which bites its own tail; it represents the Cosmic Mother, the Sacred Cow. The veil which falls upon her face is the Veil of Isis.

ESOTERIC MEANING OF THE ARCANUM:

Arcanum No. 2 is The Priestess, the Occult Science. In the field of the Spirit, the One is the Father who is in Secret; the Two is the Divine Mother, who is the unfolding of the Father.

The Sacred Book of the Mayas, the Popol Vuh, says that God created man from clay, and afterward from wood (the Atlantean race); but they forgot their “Fathers and Mothers,” they forgot the “Heart of Heaven.” Then a great flood came and they all perished; they entered into caves to take shelter, and these collapsed (this refers to the submersion of Atlantis). Thus, each one has his own Divine Father and Mother, who are most sacred. In the Father and in the Mother Kundalini we see the two columns Jachin and Boaz, which are those that sustain the Temple.

The Hebrew letter BETH expresses the dualism of the two columns of the Temple: Jachin, the right column of White color, the Man, Masculine Principle; and Boaz, the left Black column, the Woman, the Feminine Principle. Between the two columns J. and B. is the Great Arcanum, which precisely is not understood by many Masonic brothers. The Cubic Stone in the rough state is placed between the two columns and is transformed into the Cubic Stone of Yesod already worked. This is nothing other than Sex, the Sephirah Yesod; one must know the Arcanum, the Maithuna, represented by the chisel of Intelligence and the hammer of Will.

The ineffable words of the Goddess Neith have been sculpted with letters of gold upon the resplendent walls of the Temple of Wisdom: “I AM SHE WHO HAS BEEN, IS, AND SHALL BE, AND NO MORTAL HAS LIFTED MY VEIL.”

The veil symbolizes that the secrets of Mother Nature are hidden from the profane, and that only the Initiate, after incessant purifications and meditations, succeeds in drawing it aside. You must be valiant and lift the Veil of Isis; our Gnostic motto is THELEMA (Will).

The No. 1, THE FATHER WHO IS IN SECRET, is the ETERNAL MASCULINE PRINCIPLE — it is in itself Brahma, who has no form, impersonal, ineffable; we may symbolize him with the Sun. The No. 2, THE DIVINE MOTHER, is the Eternal Feminine Principle which may be symbolized with the Moon. BRAHMA has no form; he is That; but in himself he is the governor of the Universe — he is ISHVARA, Eternal Masculine Principle, the Universal Principle of Life.

THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE OF LIFE UNFOLDS INTO THE ETERNAL UNIVERSAL FEMININE PRINCIPLE, WHICH IS THE GREAT PRALAYA OF THE UNIVERSE, OF THE COSMOS, FECUND BOSOM IN WHICH ALL IS BORN AND TO WHICH ALL RETURNS.

In the human being, the Cosmic Mother assumes the form of a Serpent. There are two serpents: the Tempting Serpent of Eden — that of the Goddess Kali, of the abominable Kundartiguator Organ — and the Brazen Serpent which healed the Israelites in the desert, or the SERPENT KUNDALINI. They are the two Feminine Principles of the Universe: the Virgin and the Harlot; the Divine Mother or White Moon; and the Black Moon, referring to Astaroth (Kali, Tenebrous aspect).

Arcanum No. 2 is that of the PRIESTESS; in occultism it is said to be the Dual manifestation of the Unity. The Unity, on unfolding itself, gives origin to the Receptive and Productive Femininity throughout all of Nature. It is obvious that within the human organism is the No. 2 (the Imagination), and this is related to the No. 1 (the Will).

We must distinguish between INTENTIONAL IMAGINATION and MECHANICAL IMAGINATION; it is obvious that Mechanical Imagination amounts to mere Fantasy. The key of power is found in uniting Will and Imagination in VIBRANT HARMONY.

There is a key for going out in the Astral, and it is a swift one: “Upon awakening from normal sleep, close your eyes when waking, without moving, and with closed eyes vividly imagine any place (but do not imagine that you are imagining). One must translate it into facts; feel yourself fully sure of being in the imagined place; unite Will to Imagination, and it is logical that if the union is achieved, the result is triumph. Put the Imagination into play; set out to walk in the place which you are imagining — with Faith.”

If the practice is performed and the play of Will and Imagination is achieved (the latter being feminine), without moving from the bed, preserving the sleep and imagining the place, then upon putting Will into play and setting out to walk firmly, one can already go wherever one wishes.

On one occasion I found myself in a jungle, and while passing along a road they spoke to me of a mountain; because the place was dangerous, I went to investigate in the Astral. I imagined the mountain; I saw mist, some staircases, and a group of adepts. Upon entering that place they gave me a spoonful of bee honey — the food of the White Lodge — and the Bread of Wisdom. Afterward they told me to purge myself with castor oil to clean the stomach.

The next day I went out of the body, whose stomach I had already cleaned. I saw the stars and made the Rune MAN; the adepts ordered me to descend into the Internal Worlds. I entered into a region of profound shadows, where some terrible beasts attacked me. They were my I’s. It was my lot to enter through doors where I scarcely fit, along narrow ways, and to come out from there through a mausoleum. Everything pertaining to the “Ego” is death and disgrace; it is Mephistopheles. ONE MUST WORK VERY HARD.

”

Upon her head are the horns of the Sacred Bull APIS, the spouse of the Divine Cow; internally the horns symbolize the Father, and externally the “Psychological I” (our Defects).

Chapter Four: ARCANUM 3, “THE EMPRESS”

DESCRIPTION OF THE CARD:

In the central part appears a woman crowned by 12 Stars (1 + 2 = 3) which represent the 12 Zodiacal Signs, the 12 Gates of the Holy City, the 12 Keys of Basil Valentine, the 12 Worlds of the Solar System of Ors. Upon her head is a CHALICE, and from it emerges a SERPENT, symbol of Mastery, which is raised. In her right arm she holds the Staff of Power; with her left hand she reaches toward the dove which represents the HOLY SPIRIT. Her vestment is Solar; everything indicates that she is the Christified Soul, the product of Arcana 1 and 2. She is seated upon the Cubic Stone, already perfectly worked.

In the Waters of Life is the Moon beneath her feet, indicating that one must trample upon it in order to transform it into the Sun.

ESOTERIC MEANING OF THE ARCANUM:

The No. 3 is THE EMPRESS, the Divine Light, the Light in itself; she is “THE DIVINE MOTHER.” It corresponds to that part of Genesis which says: “GOD SAID, LET THERE BE LIGHT, AND THE LIGHT WAS MADE,” from the first day of creation.

It is also the number of the Third Logos, who reigns over every form of creation; it is the rhythm of the Creator.

The CELESTIAL MOTHER, in the material field signifies Material Production, and likewise in the spiritual field signifies SPIRITUAL PRODUCTION.

If one analyzes more profoundly, one discovers a very interesting aspect: the No. 1 IS THE FATHER WHO IS IN SECRET, the Monad; and from there is born the Divine Mother Kundalini, the Dyad; and she in turn unfolds into the No. 3, which is FATHER, MOTHER, AND SON. This is the Divine and Immortal Spirit of every living being; and the three — Osiris the Father, Isis the Mother, and Horus the Son — come to constitute that which the Sacred Book of the Mayas, the Popol Vuh, calls “The Heart of Heaven.”

The Son in turn unfolds into the Anima which each one bears within.

The Zohar, the most ancient Hebrew book and foundation of the Kabbalah and of the Old Testament, insists upon the 3 Principal Elements which compose the world. Such elements are:

• SHIN — MEANS FIRE in Kabbalah.

• MEM — MEANS WATER.

• ALEPH — MEANS AIR.

In these 3 Principal Elements is the perfect synthesis of all that exists, of the 4 manifested Elements.

The powerful Mantram I.A.O. sums up the magical power of the triangle of Principle-Elements.

I — IGNIS — FIRE.

A — AQUA — WATER.

O — ORIGO — PRINCIPLE, SPIRIT, AIR.

In all the Schools of Mysteries these mantrams cannot be lacking. There we see the esotericism of the Holy 3. The I.A.O. is the fundamental Mantram of the Maithuna; it is in the Ninth Sphere where it must resound. Whoever wishes to make the Soul of the World ascend through the medullar canal must work with the Sulfur (Fire), with the Mercury (Water), and with the Salt (Philosophical Earth).

These are the 3 Elements, the 3 Principles for working in the BLAZING FORGE OF VULCAN.

In the manuscript Azoth of Basil Valentine is found the Secret of the Great Work. The 12 Secret Keys are the Sexual Energy of the Logos, when the Rose of the Spirit flowers upon the Cross of our body.

The 3 Principal Elements are the 3 Hebrew letters which correspond to the 3 Principle-Elements within the Great Work of Nature; thus we ourselves elaborate the Living Gold. He who does not manufacture SPIRITUAL GOLD is not an ESOTERICIST. One descends to the Ninth Sphere and there manufactures it in the Blazing Forge of Vulcan.

The Kabbalist-Alchemist must learn to use Sulfur, Mercury, and Salt.

By using sulfur within one’s footwear, the larvae of the Astral Body are destroyed, as are the Incubi and Succubi which are fabricated by erotic imaginations. They are transparent as the air and absorb the vitality of the Being. In cinemas — dens of Black Magic, with morbid films — they attach themselves to one, and one must wear flowers of sulfur in the shoes, and with that the larvae are destroyed. By burning sulfur upon coals, the malignant forms of thought and the larvae enclosed within a room are disintegrated.

Mercury serves to prepare the “LUSTRAL WATER.” At the bottom of a copper vessel filled with water (not a frying-pan), one adds mercury and a mirror. It serves to awaken Clairvoyance. Nostradamus made his divinations with copper and mercury.

Salt has its virtues. In a vessel, mixing salt with alcohol, one sets fire to it in order to invoke the Masters of Medicine — ADONAI, HIPPOCRATES, GALEN, PARACELSUS — when it is necessary to heal some sick person.

The Ternary, the Number Three, is very important. It is the Word, the Plenitude, the Fecundity, Nature, the Generation of the Three Worlds.

Arcanum 3 of Kabbalah is that Woman clothed with the Sun, with the Moon at her feet and crowned with 12 Stars. The symbol of the Queen of Heaven is the Empress of the Tarot, a mysterious crowned woman, seated and with the Scepter of Command, at whose extremity appears the globe of the World. This is the Urania-Venus of the Greeks, the Christified Soul, the Celestial Mother.

The Divine Mother, Arcanum No. 3, is the PARTICULAR MOTHER OF EACH ONE OF US; she is the Mother of our Being, who must trample upon the Moon, upon the Lunar Ego, so that the 12 Stars, the 12 Faculties, may shine resplendently upon her head.

In order to create, 3 Primary Forces are necessary — they come from above, from the Father, and exist throughout all creation:

• POSITIVE FORCE.

• NEGATIVE FORCE.

• NEUTRAL FORCE.

Man is Arcanum No. 1 of the Tarot, the Positive Force; Woman is Arcanum No. 2, the Negative Force; and the Christified Soul is the result of the sexual union of both. The Secret is the Arcanum A.Z.F., which transforms the Moon into the Sun, and represents 3 aspects: Positive, Negative, and Neutral.

”

Man is Arcanum No. 1 of the Tarot, the Positive Force; Woman is Arcanum No. 2, the Negative Force; and the Christified Soul is the result of the sexual union of both.

Chapter Five: ARCANUM 4, “THE EMPEROR”

DESCRIPTION OF THE CARD:

From the forehead of the Emperor projects the Serpent, symbol of Mastery; the crown formed of an asp — the THERMUTHIS — belongs to Isis, our Particular Divine Mother Kundalini. Upon his head is a four-pointed bonnet, four-angled, representing the 4 Elements, the 4 Gospels, the 4 Vedas, etc. We also have in the bonnet the Alembic, the Receptacle: the sexual organs; the Furnace, the Muladhara Chakra: the spinal column; and the Distiller: the brain.

In his right hand he holds the Staff of Power. He is seated upon the CUBIC STONE perfectly worked, the product of the preceding Arcana. Within the Stone is the cat — the Fire. In the Waters of Life is found the Rod of Command, the Spinal Column.

ESOTERIC MEANING OF THE ARCANUM:

The Cross has 4 points. The Cross of the Initiation is phallic; the insertion of the vertical Phallus into the feminine CTEIS forms the Cross. It is the Cross of the Initiation which we must take upon our shoulders.

We must comprehend that with its 4 points it symbolizes the 4 Cardinal Points of the Earth — North, South, East, and West. The 4 Ages — Gold, Silver, Copper, and Iron. The 4 Seasons of the year. The 4 Phases of the Moon. The 4 Paths: Science, Philosophy, Art, and Religion. In speaking of the 4 Paths we must comprehend that all are but one; this path is the Narrow Path and the Path on the Razor’s Edge, the Path of the REVOLUTION OF THE CONSCIOUSNESS.

The Cross is a very ancient symbol, employed always, in all religions, among all peoples, and he who would consider it as the exclusive emblem of this or that religious sect would err. When the Spanish conquistadors arrived at the sacred land of the Aztecs, they found the cross upon the altars.

The sign of the Cross is the sublime monogram of Christ Our Lord, of which the Cross of Saint Andrew and the miraculous Key of Saint Peter are marvelous replicas of equal Alchemical and Kabbalistic value. It is, then, the mark capable of assuring victory to the workers of the “Great Work.”

The Sexual Cross, the living symbol of the crossing of Lingam-Yoni, bears the unmistakable and marvelous trace of the 3 nails which were used to immolate the Christ-Matter — image of the 3 Purifications by Iron and by Fire, without which Our Lord could not have achieved the Resurrection.

The Cross is the ancient Alchemical hieroglyph of the Crucible (creuset), which formerly was called in French cruzel, crucibile, croiset. In Latin, crucibulum, crucible, had as its root crux, crucis, cross. It is evident that all of this invites us to reflection.

It is in the crucible that the prime matter of the Great Work suffers, with infinite patience, the passion of the Lord. In the Erotic Crucible of Sexual Alchemy the “Ego” dies and the “Phoenix Bird” is reborn from among its own ashes: INRI, “IN NECIS RENASCOR INTEGER” (In death I am reborn whole and pure).

The insertion of the vertical PHALLUS within the formal UTERUS makes a cross — and this is something which anyone may verify.

If we reflect very seriously upon that intimate relation existing between the “S” and the “Tau,” “Cross” or “T,” we arrive at the logical conclusion that only through the crossing of “Lingam-Yoni” (Phallus-Uterus), with radical exclusion of the physiological orgasm, can the “Kundalini” — the Igneous Serpent of our Magical Powers — be awakened.

In the Nahuatl and Mayan conception, the Sacred Swastika of the Great Mysteries was always defined with the Cross in Movement; it is the “Nahui-Ollin” of the Nahuatls — sacred symbol of the Cosmic Movement.

The two possible orientations of the Swastika clearly represent the Masculine and Feminine, Positive and Negative principles of Nature. Two Swastikas of one and the other direction exactly superposed unmistakably form the Potent Cross, and in this sense they represent the erotic conjunction of the sexes.

According to Aztec legend, it was a couple — a man and a woman — who invented Fire; and this is only possible with the Cross in Movement, INRI, Ignis Natura Renovatur Integra: “FIRE INCESSANTLY RENEWS NATURE.”

The Cross also reveals the “SQUARING OF THE CIRCLE,” the key of Perpetual Movement. That Perpetual Movement is only possible through the Sexual Force of the Third Logos. If the Energy of the Third Logos ceased to flow in the Universe, Perpetual Movement would end and cosmic disjointment would come. The Third Logos organizes the fundamental vortex of every nascent Universe, and the infinitesimal vertex of the ultimate atom of any creation.

With the Arcanum Four of the Tarot, the Being takes upon his shoulders the CROSS OF THE INITIATION.

If we make the following Kabbalistic addition of Arcanum 4: (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10), we find that (10 = 1 + 0 = 1), the Monad.

TETRAGRAMMATON IS EQUAL TO THE MONAD.

”

DESCRIPTION OF THE CARD: From the forehead of the Emperor projects the Serpent, symbol of Mastery; the crown formed of an asp — the THERMUTHIS — belongs to Isis, our Particular Divine Mother Kundalini.

Chapter Six: ARCANUM 5, “THE HIERARCH”

DESCRIPTION OF THE CARD:

In this card we find the Hierarch with his coat of mail, holding in his right hand the Staff of Power. He uses the jackal mask only when officiating, in order to render Justice — symbolizing the Supreme Piety and Supreme Impiety of the Law. In the Waters of Life is the SCALE OF JUSTICE, indicating that the movements, actions, and reactions of the Physical Body are based upon Energy.

ESOTERIC MEANING OF THE ARCANUM:

The number 5 is grandiose, sublime; it is the number of rigor and of the Law; it is the number of Mars and of war.

Arcanum No. 5 of the Tarot indicates to us: TEACHING, Karma, the EXPLANATION. It symbolizes the 5th Cycle, the 5th Race, the 5th Sun, the 5 Tattvas, the 5 Fingers, the 5 gospels, the 5 senses, the 5 cells of the brain and ovary, the 5 ASPECTS OF THE DIVINE MOTHER.

CARD NO. 5 OF THE TAROT IS INITIATION, DEMONSTRATION, TEACHING, KARMIC LAW, PHILOSOPHY, SCIENCE, ART.

We live in the Age of Samael, the 5th of the 7; the return to the Great Light has begun. Life has begun to flow from without to within; we stand before the dilemma of To Be or Not to Be; we need to define ourselves either as Angels or Demons, as Eagles or Reptiles, to confront our own destiny.

Arcanum No. 5 is the Hierophant, the Law, the Rigor; it is the FLAMING PENTAGRAM, the Flaming Star, the sign of Divine Omnipotence; this is the ineffable symbol of the Word made flesh, the terrible Star of the Magicians.

The Pentagram represents Man, the Microcosmos Man who, with arms and legs spread wide, is the Five-Pointed Star.

The PENTAGRAM with the two points upward represents Satan; black magicians use it for the invocations of the tenebrous ones. With the superior angle upward, it represents the Inner Christ of every man who comes into this world; it symbolizes the Divinal — we use it in White Magic to call upon Divine Beings. Laid down at the foot of the door with the two feet outward, the tenebrous entities cannot enter; on the contrary, the Inverted Pentagram, with the two feet inward, permits the entry of the tenebrous ones.

In the upper angle of the PENTAGRAM we find the Eyes of the Spirit and the sign of Jupiter, SACRED FATHER OF THE GODS. On the arms is the sign of Mars, symbol of Force. On the feet is the sign of Saturn, symbol of Magic. At the center is the symbol of Occult Philosophy, the Caduceus of Mercury and the sign of Venus. The Caduceus of Mercury represents the Spinal Column, and the two wings the ascent of the Sacred Fire along the length of the spinal column, opening the 7 Churches of the Apocalypse of Saint John (the 7 Chakras) by means of Scientific Chastity.

The chalice, symbol of the Feminine Yoni, also represents the Crystallized Mind containing the Wine of Light which seminates the brain. The Sword is the Masculine Phallus. We also find the Key and the Pentacle of Solomon. The Tetragrammaton is a Mantram of immense sacerdotal power.

According to Transfinite Mathematics: INFINITE + INFINITE = PENTALPHA.

∞ + ∞ = 5

Students can elaborate an Electrum to protect themselves against the tenebrous ones; in occultism we call Electrum the Pentagram made with the 7 Metals of the 7 Planets.

The pentagram is made and consecrated with the 4 elements — FIRE, AIR, EARTH, AND WATER — and is censed with 5 Perfumes: Incense, Myrrh, Aloe, Sulfur, and Camphor. Of these 5 substances which serve to consecrate the pentagram, the first 3 are for invoking the White; the sulfur is to repel the tenebrous entities; and the camphor perfumes and attracts success. One must learn to handle these substances. Upon the Pentagram one must place the 4 letters of Iod-He-Vau-He and carry it about the neck, giving us extraordinary protection.

In the Consecration, the breath is exhaled 5 times, presenting oneself before the Royal Christic Being of the Inner Master for the consecration of the Pentalpha, and one invokes the 5 Archangels: Gabriel, Raphael, Samael, Anael, and Orifiel.

If we can elaborate a metallic Pentagram and consecrate it, we can also Self-Consecrate ourselves with the same rites and perfumes which we use for our metallic Pentagram, because man is a Five-Pointed Star.

All those who feel themselves dirty, infested with larvae, or in misery, must use the 5 perfumes to cense themselves with them — on condition that they tread the Path of Perfect Chastity. In the Lumisials it must be made customary to cleanse the brothers and sisters who find themselves filled with larvae. Thus they will receive the benefit in their Souls and in their Bodies.

In the “Book of the Dead,” Chapter LIX, NU the triumphant says: “I am the Jackal of the Jackals, and I obtain air from the presence of the God of Light, and I conduct it to the limits of the firmament, and to the confines of the Earth, and to the frontiers of the extremities — the flight of the bird NEVEH. Thus may air be granted unto these Young Divine Beings.”

The Hierarch of Arcanum 5, the Jackal of the Jackals, is the Chief of the Archons of destiny; he is ANUBIS, the Jackal-headed God.

The Temple of Anubis is the Temple of the Lords of Karma. Anubis keeps the books of Karma in the Sub-world. Every human being has his book of business.

Those who learn to handle their KA (the Astral Body) can visit the Temple of the Jackal of the Jackals in order to consult their book and do their business.

Credits can also be solicited from the Lords of Karma. Every credit must be paid, by working in the Great Work of the Father or by suffering the unspeakable.

When the Logos of the Solar System delivered unto me the tunic and the mantle of Hierophant of Greater Mysteries, he said to me: “Here I pay you what I owe you for the practices which you have taught.”

He who wishes for Light must give Light, that he may receive his payment.

The Jackal of the Jackals conducts to the Light through all the limits of the firmament, and arrives at the frontiers of the bird NEVEH, the enormous Serpent, one of the 42 Judges of Maat in the judgment. That Great Judge is the Logos of the Solar System. The Jackal of the Jackals works under the orders of this Great Judge. These Young Divine Beings who work with Anubis are the LORDS OF KARMA.

The alchemist must learn to handle his KA, in order to visit the Temple of the Jackal of the Jackals and arrange his business. In our work with the Blessed Stone, it is indispensable to learn to handle our business consciously.

No one escapes from Justice, since at the bottom of our Consciousness exists the KAOM, the Policeman of Karma, who takes form each time he registers a positive or negative action.

”

With the superior angle upward, it represents the Inner Christ of every man who comes into this world; it symbolizes the Divinal — we use it in White Magic to call upon Divine Beings.

Chapter Seven: ARCANUM 6, “INDECISION”

DESCRIPTION OF THE CARD:

Standing in the Waters of Life is the disciple, facing a triangle with the vertex pointing downward. His left arm is placed atop his right. All of this signifies that the disciple is fallen; for this reason he feels more attraction toward the Medusa (the Psychological I) situated to his left. To his right is found a Mistress. This Arcanum is called “Indecision” because the disciple does not know upon which path to decide.

In the upper part, a Hierarch of the Law, seated upon a triangle with the vertex pointing upward, formed by the bow, points with his arrow at the head of the Medusa, in accordance with the axiom: “THE MEDUSA MUST BE DECAPITATED.”

Each figure presents to the neophyte a distinct path. The Path of the Left and the Path of the Right. The arrow of Justice points against the Path of the Left.

ESOTERIC MEANING OF THE ARCANUM:

The Sixth Arcanum is the Lover of the Tarot; it signifies Realization. The human being finds himself among VICE, VIRTUE, the VIRGIN, and the HARLOT — URANIA-VENUS and the MEDUSA. One finds oneself having to choose this or that path.

Arcanum No. 6 is enchantment, equilibrium, the amorous union of Man and Woman. Terrible struggle between Love and Desire. There we find the Mysteries of the Lingam-Yoni. It is linkage.

In Arcanum No. 6 is the struggle between the Two Ternaries; it is the Affirmation of the Inner Christ and the Supreme Negation of Satan.

Arcanum No. 6 is the struggle between the Spirit and the Animal Beast. The number Six represents the struggle between God and the Devil. This Arcanum is expressed by the SEAL OF SOLOMON. The upper triangle represents KETHER, CHOKMAH, and BINAH, the resplendent Dragon of Wisdom (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit); the lower triangle represents the Three Traitors, who come to be the antithesis of the Divine Triad, and who are the Demons of Desire, of the Mind, and of Ill Will, who betray the Inner Christ moment by moment and are the foundations of the Ego (Judas, Caiaphas, and Pilate); this lower triangle is the Black Dragon.

”

In Arcanum No. 6 is the struggle between the Two Ternaries; it is the Affirmation of the Inner Christ and the Supreme Negation of Satan.

Chapter Eight: ARCANUM 7, “THE TRIUMPH”

DESCRIPTION OF THE CARD:

In this card appear, within the Waters of Life, two sphinxes — the WHITE and the BLACK — which pull his chariot, symbolizing the Masculine and Feminine Forces. A warrior who represents the Innermost stands within his War-Chariot, upon the Cubic Stone (the Sex) and between the 4 Pillars which constitute Science, Art, Philosophy, and Religion, in which he develops himself. The 4 Pillars also represent the 4 Elements, indicating that he dominates them.

In his right hand the Flaming Sword and in his left hand the Staff of Power. The Cuirass is the Divine Science which makes us powerful. The warrior must learn to use the Staff and the Sword; thus he will attain the Great Victory.

Upon his head a three-pointed bonnet representing the 3 Primary Forces; above appears Ra, the Cosmic Christ (the Wings).

ESOTERIC MEANING OF THE ARCANUM:

Arcanum 7 represents the 7 Notes of the Lyre of Orpheus, the 7 musical Notes, the 7 Colors of the solar prism, the 7 Planets, the 7 Vices which we must transmute into the 7 Virtues, the 7 Sidereal Geniuses, the 7 Bodies, the 7 Dimensions, the 7 Degrees of the Power of Fire, the 7 Secret Words pronounced by the Solar Logos (from Calvary), etc.

Arcanum No. 7 is the War-Chariot which the Monad has realized in order to be able to act in this world, with power to work in this field of life. It is the Monad already realized, manifesting itself through its 7 Bodies. From another aspect the 7 is struggles, battles, difficulties — but it always conquers in spite of the struggles.

THE FATHER WHO IS IN SECRET — that is, the DIVINE MONAD — is Immortal, Omniscient; but without Self-realization, HE CANNOT DOMINATE THE PHYSICAL; he has no sovereignty over the Elements. It seems incredible that we, miserable worms, “MUST MAKE THE FATHER POWERFUL”; it seems blasphemy, but He must Self-realize.

A REALIZED MONAD IS POWERFUL; he has power over the Fire, Air, Water, Earth. For this reason, in the Book of the Dead of the Egyptians, the devotee addresses HORUS: “I strengthen thy legs and thy arms.” And in turn the devotee asks Him to strengthen his THREE BRAINS (Intellectual, Emotional, Motor); for HORUS needs the devotee to have his Three Brains strong.

• FATHER, MOTHER, SON.

• OSIRIS, ISIS, HORUS.

In Egyptian Theogony, the Father (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) is Osiris or Ra, and Ra is the Logos with his three aspects. When one speaks of the Monad it refers to Osiris; it is He who must Self-realize. In turn he must unfold into Father, Mother, and Son; the Son unfolds into the Essence, and this swallows one up, leaving the Monad SELF-REALIZED.

ESSENCE, SON, MOTHER, FATHER.

THE MONAD OF EACH ONE NEEDS US AND WE NEED IT. Speaking with my Monad, He said to me: “I am Self-realizing thee; that which I am doing is for thee.”

Otherwise, for what do we live? There is an objective: THE MONAD WISHES TO SELF-REALIZE, AND FOR THIS REASON WE ARE HERE.

”

THE FATHER WHO IS IN SECRET — that is, the DIVINE MONAD — is Immortal, Omniscient; but without Self-realization, HE CANNOT DOMINATE THE PHYSICAL; he has no sovereignty over the Elements.

Chapter Nine: ARCANUM 8, “JUSTICE”

DESCRIPTION OF THE CARD:

In this Arcanum, in the Waters of Life, appears the Serpent biting its own tail, forming the sign of the Cosmic Mother, the Infinite (0), (zero).

A woman is kneeling upon a mound of 3 steps, representing the Arcanum A.Z.F. (Water plus Fire equals Consciousness). The woman holds the Sword of Power upward with her left hand and with the other hand balances a scale, signaling the equilibrium which must exist between MIND, HEART, AND SEX. In the upper part appears Ra (it is another symbol of Ra apart from the wings).

ESOTERIC MEANING OF THE ARCANUM:

Arcanum No. 8 is JUDGMENT. The No. 8 is the number of JOB, TRIALS AND SORROWS; it is represented with a sword which corresponds to the esoteric.

The number 8 is the NUMBER OF THE INFINITE. The vital forces of the Fire of the Phlegethon and the Water of the Acheron circulate, crossing each other in the Ninth Sphere, at the heart of the Earth, in the form of an eight. In the spinal column the symbol of the Infinite is also formed. The sign of the Infinite signifies working in the Ninth Sphere — and this is Sex.

Arcanum No. 8 of the Tarot is a woman with a sword in her hand, before the Scale of Cosmic Justice. Truly only she can deliver THE SWORD TO THE MAGICIAN; WITHOUT THE WOMAN NO INITIATE SUCCEEDS IN RECEIVING THE SWORD. There exists the Eve-Venus, the instinctive woman. The Venus-Eve, the noble woman of the home. There exists the Venus-Urania, the woman initiated in the Greater Mysteries; and lastly we affirm the existence of the Urania-Venus, the adept woman, the woman thoroughly realized.

The woman of Arcanum No. 8 of the Tarot has in one hand the Scale and in the other the Sword. It is necessary to balance the forces; it is necessary and urgent to absolutely sanctify ourselves and to practice the Arcanum A.Z.F. The forces of the man and the woman balance themselves in Love and in Wisdom.

The miraculous ascent of the Seminal Energy as far as the brain is made possible thanks to a certain pair of nerve-cords which, in the form of an Eight, unfold themselves to the right and left of the Spinal Column.

In Chinese Philosophy, this pair of cords is known by the classical names of the “Yin” and the “Yang,” the “Tao” being the Path of the Middle, the Medullar Canal, the Secret Way along which the SERPENT ascends.

It is obvious that the first of these two channels is of a Lunar nature; it is evident that the second is of the Solar type.

When the Lunar and Solar atoms make contact at the Triveni, near the coccyx, the IGNEOUS SERPENT OF OUR MAGICAL POWERS awakens.

The Serpent which with its figure forms a Circle, in that GNOSTIC trance of devouring its own tail, is an extraordinary synthesis of the marvelous message of the Lord Quetzalcoatl; or in the vertical position, illustrating the Mayan and Nahuatl idea of the Divine Viper devouring the Soul and Spirit of Man; or, in short, the Sexual Flames consuming the Animal Ego, annihilating it, reducing it to ashes.

Unquestionably the Serpent is the esoteric symbol of Wisdom and of Occult Knowledge. The Serpent has been related to the God of Wisdom since ancient times.

The Serpent is the sacred symbol of Thoth and of all the Holy Gods such as Hermes, Serapis, Jesus, Quetzalcoatl, Buddha, Tlaloc, Dante, Zoroaster, Bochica, etc., etc., etc.

Any Adept of the UNIVERSAL WHITE BROTHERHOOD can be duly figured by the “Great Serpent,” which occupies such a notorious place among the symbols of the Gods upon the black stones that record Babylonian edifices.

Aesculapius, Pluto, Esmun, Knepp — all are Deities with the attributes of the Serpent, says Dupuis. ALL ARE HEALERS, GIVERS OF SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH, AND OF ILLUMINATION.

The Brahmins obtained their cosmogony, science, and arts of culture from the famous “Naga-Mayas,” later called “Danavas”; the “Nagas” and the “Brahmins” used the sacred symbol of the Plumed Serpent, the indisputably Mexican and Mayan emblem. The UPANISHADS contain a treatise upon the Science of the Serpents — or, what is the same, the Science of Occult Knowledge.

The “Nagas” (Serpents) of Esoteric Buddhism are Authentic Men, Perfect, Self-realized by virtue of their occult knowledge, and protectors of the Law of the Buddha inasmuch as they correctly interpret his metaphysical doctrines.

The Great Kabir Jesus of Nazareth would never have advised his disciples to be “AS WISE AS THE SERPENT” if this had been a symbol of Evil. It is well to recall that the Ophites — the Wise Egyptian Gnostics of the “BROTHERHOOD OF THE SERPENT” — would never have adored a living serpent in their ceremonies as the emblem of Wisdom, the Divine Sophia, if that reptile had been related to the Powers of Evil.

THE SERPENT, OR SAVING LOGOS, INSPIRES MAN TO RECOGNIZE HIS IDENTITY WITH THE LOGOS, AND THUS RETURN TO HIS OWN ESSENCE, WHICH IS THAT LOGOS.

The Sacred Serpent, or Saving Logos, sleeps coiled at the bottom of the ARK, in mystical watch, awaiting the instant of being awakened.

KUNDALINI, the Igneous Serpent of our Magical Powers, coiled within the Magnetic Center of the coccyx (base of the spinal column), is luminous as the lightning.

Those who study Esoteric Physiology in the Nahuatl, or in the Hindustani, manner emphasize the transcendental idea of a marvelous Magnetic Center located at the base of the spinal column, at an intermediate distance between the anal orifice and the sexual organs.

In the center of the “MULADHARA CHAKRA” is a yellow square invisible to the eyes of the flesh, but perceptible to Clairvoyance or the Sixth Sense; such a square represents, according to the Hindus, the Element Earth.

It has been said to us that within the cited square there exists a “Yoni” or “Uterus,” and that in the center of this same is found a “Lingam” or erotic “Phallus,” around which is coiled the Serpent — mysterious Psychic Energy called Kundalini.

The esoteric structure of such a Magnetic Center, as well as its unusual position between the SEXUAL ORGANS and the anus, gives solid, irrefutable bases to the Tantric Schools of India and Tibet.

IT IS UNQUESTIONABLE THAT ONLY THROUGH THE SAHAJA MAITHUNA, OR SEXUAL MAGIC, CAN THE SERPENT BE AWAKENED.

The Crown formed of an asp, the Thermuthis, belongs to Isis, our PARTICULAR AND INDIVIDUAL DIVINE MOTHER KUNDALINI — for each one of us has his own.

The Serpent as Feminine Deity in us is the spouse of the Holy Spirit, our Virgin Mother weeping at the foot of the Sexual Cross, with her heart pierced by 7 Daggers.

Indubitably, the Serpent of the Greater Mysteries is the feminine aspect of the Logos. Mother God, the spouse of Shiva — she is Isis, Adonia, Tonantzin, Rhea, Mary; or better said Ram-Io, Cybele, Opis, Der, Flora, Paula, IO, Akka, the Great Mother in Sanskrit, the Goddess of the Lhas, Lares, or Spirits of here below; the anguished Mother of HUITZILOPOCHTLI; the Ak or White Goddess in Turkish; the Chalcidian Minerva of the Initiatory Mysteries; the Akabolzub of the Lunar Temple of Chichen-Itza (Yucatan), etc., etc.

”

The woman holds the Sword of Power upward with her left hand and with the other hand balances a scale, signaling the equilibrium which must exist between MIND, HEART, AND SEX.

Chapter Ten: ARCANUM 9, “THE HERMIT”

DESCRIPTION OF THE CARD:

In this Arcanum we find within the Waters of Life a MOON which rises. In the central part an OLD HERMIT in an attitude of advancing, holding in his left hand the lamp which shows him the way — it is the LAMP OF HERMES, Wisdom. With his right hand he leans upon the STAFF OF THE PATRIARCHS, which represents the spinal column with its Seven Churches.

The Hermit, prudent and wise, is enveloped in the Protecting Mantle of Apollonius, which symbolizes Prudence. Behind him is the PALM OF VICTORY.

In the upper part a Sun which shines with three rays indicating the THREE PRIMARY FORCES, descends to unite itself with the Moon. The Moon ascends and the Sun descends, which indicates that we must transform the Moon into the Sun by means of Transmutation — to convert with the Arcanum A.Z.F. the Lunar Bodies into Solar Bodies.

Arcanum No. 9 clearly indicates the 9 Spheres of the atomic hells of Nature and the 9 Spheres of the 9 Heavens. This Arcanum also signals the 9 Planets, represented in the 9 Spheres of the Planet Earth.

The Initiate must descend into the 9 Submerged Spheres in order to afterward win the 9 Heavens corresponding to each planet.

ESOTERIC MEANING OF THE ARCANUM:

Arcanum No. 9 is THE HERMIT, Solitude. This Arcanum in its most elevated form is the Ninth Sphere, the “Sex.”

The descent into the Ninth Sphere was, in the ancient Temples, the Supreme Trial for the supreme dignity of the Hierophant. Hermes, Buddha, Jesus Christ, Zoroaster, Dante, etc., and many other great initiates, had to pass through the Supreme Trial — to descend into the Ninth Sphere, to work with the Fire and the Water, origin of Worlds, Beasts, Men, and Gods. Every authentic White Initiation begins there.

In the Ninth Sphere, or Ninth Stratum of the Earth, in the center of the Earth, in the very heart of the Earth, the sign of the Infinite shines resplendently. This sign has the form of an Eight. The sign of the Infinite is the Holy Eight. In this sign are represented the Heart, Brain, and Sex of the Genie of the Earth. The secret name of this Genie is CHANGAM.

THE ZOHAR emphatically warns us that at the bottom of the Abyss lives Adam-Protoplastos, the Differentiating Principle of the Souls. With this principle we must dispute ourselves in a struggle to the death. The struggle is terrible: Brain against Sex, and Sex against Brain; and what is more terrible and more painful is the Heart against Heart.

It is obvious that all of the forces revolve upon the basis of the HOLY EIGHT in human beings. He who wishes to enter into the City of the Nine Gates mentioned in the Bhagavad-Gita must resolve to descend into the Blazing Forge of Vulcan.

In the human organism, the Ninth Sphere is Sex; he who wishes to Self-realize must descend into the Ninth Sphere to work with Water and Fire, in order to attain the Second Birth.

In the NINTH SPHERE is the BLAZING FORGE OF VULCAN (the Sex). There Mars descends to temper his flaming sword and conquer the heart of Venus (the Venustic Initiation). Hercules to clean the Augean Stables (the Animal Underworld). Perseus to cut off the head of the Medusa (the Psychological I or Earthly Adam) with his Flaming Sword; and that head sown with serpents, the esoteric student must deliver to Minerva, the Goddess of Wisdom.

NINE months the fetus remains within the Maternal Womb, and “NINE AGES” are necessary in the womb of Rhea, Tonantzin, Cybele — that is, Mother Nature — in order for a Planetary Humanity to be born. Thus it is also obvious that one must descend into the Ninth Sphere to be able to gestate and to attain that Second Birth.

Jesus said to Nicodemus: “You must be Born Again so that you may enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.” (JOHN 3:1-15). This means to manufacture the Solar Bodies; no one may enter into the Kingdom dressed in Lunar Rags. The Solar Bodies must be manufactured, and they are only attained by “Transmuting the Creative Energy.”

In Egyptian Theogony, those Solar Bodies are represented by the Egyptian Sahu. No one has the right to sit at the table of the Angels if he is not dressed in the Solar Bodies.

We must manufacture the To Soma Heliakon, the Body of Gold of the Solar Man.

It is written: “Narrow is the path which leads unto the light.” He who wishes to follow the path: “LET HIM DENY HIMSELF, TAKE UP HIS CROSS, AND FOLLOW ME.” (The Three Factors of the Revolution of the Consciousness: To Die, to Be Born, and Sacrifice.)

He who wishes to SELF-REALIZE must be disposed to renounce everything: wealth, honors, peace, prestige; he must give his very blood.

He must have a CENTER OF GRAVITY, a CENTER OF PERMANENT CONSCIOUSNESS. All of us human beings are no more than machines handled by our I’s (the Ego is plural); we are placed in a disadvantageous situation. This signifies Super-Efforts and the killing of the I; that Ego is Mephistopheles; it is the root of all our sufferings, sorrows; it lives in the function of its own conditioning; we must reduce it to cosmic dust in order to have an Awakened Consciousness, in order “to be able to see the Path.”

TO KNOW IS UNDERSTOOD AS TO SEE, TO HEAR, AND TO TOUCH THE GREAT REALITIES.

There is need to understand what is meant by the BOTTOM OF THE ABYSS; when it is said to descend to the Bottom of the Abyss, it is Real. Upon descending to the Ninth Sphere by the Law of Concomitances or of Relations, we put ourselves in accord with the Planetary Organism in which we live; he who works in the Ninth Sphere has descended to the BOTTOM OF HIS REAL ASPECT. If he who is working were to disincarnate, he would see that he truly lives in that Region (the Ninth Sphere is the center of the Earth); of course, he who has Awakened Consciousness would be the one who realized this.

The neophyte must be warned that in the Ninth Sphere exists the “SUPREME PAIN.” As Dante says in the Divine Comedy: “In the condemned their tears are congealed in their eyes; in others the waters rise as high as the creative organs.”

One must know how to understand, one must know how to learn to Suffer, to be Resigned. Those who are not, fail. It is like an outburst, something paradoxical, to wish to find Happiness in the Ninth Sphere. It would be absurd; and the fact is that Intimate Self-realization costs, IT HAS A PRICE — perhaps one’s own life.

Was not Hiram Abiff murdered, and was he not sought by “27 Masters,” which summed Kabbalistically are 2 + 7 = 9?

In the Ninth Sphere there are great sorrows until at last one arrives at the SECOND BIRTH. When Jesus said to Nicodemus that he had to “BE BORN AGAIN,” he did not understand. Jesus indeed knew the Great Mystery. And will anyone ever leave the Ninth Sphere? Yes, when the Second Birth is attained.

After having created the “To Soma Heliakon” in the “Forge of the Cyclops” (Sex), I then had to pass through a time of profound reflections. In the Residence of Love, in the Temple of the “Twice-Born,” I encountered other Brothers and Sisters who had also worked intensely in “THE BLAZING FORGE OF VULCAN” (Sex); all of them shone gloriously among the indescribable Divinal enchantments of Holy Friday. We gathered to discuss the struggles and sorrows; we had emerged victorious. Yet all of this is but the beginning of beginnings and foundation of foundations; there is more upon this, and it is necessary that you should be informed.

If a Twice-Born one, or someone who has reached Adeptship, intends to arrive at the Angelic State, he would have to go down again into the Deep Well of the Universe, into the Ninth Sphere, and the work completed, ascend by the Ladder or Scale of Lucifer in order to attain the Angelic State.

If he should wish to be an Archangel, or Principality, or Throne, or Cherub, he has to do the same — “descend in order to then ascend.”

One must understand and distinguish what is a “Fall” and what is a “Descent.” He who has already been decapitated cannot be re-decapitated. On the eve of entering the Absolute one must descend into the Ninth Sphere.

When one arrives at the SECOND BIRTH, one becomes forbidden from Sex; Sex will no longer be used because one wishes it. But if one receives the order from the White Brotherhood, the Sacred Order, or from the Father who is in Secret, and is ordered to descend into the Pit of the Abyss, one must obey. This is not pleasure but pain, sacrifice.

By the Luciferic ladder one must descend and one must ascend; we must make ourselves Masters of both the Superior and Inferior Forces. The Father who is in Secret commands what must be done; only by receiving an order does one descend.

Only he who FALLS loses his Initiatic degrees, not he who has DESCENDED. The work concluded, the orders are received, and Sex is no longer used capriciously. The Father is master of this act, and from the Father must come the order. Sex does not belong to oneself but to the Father.

The Law of Leviathan is that of the Mason who has already passed all the Esoteric Works or Degrees, and as he has already been decapitated, he cannot be re-decapitated; he can receive harm neither from above nor from below; he lives attuned to the Law, to the Great Law. This is the superior knowledge of Esoteric Masonry.

First he does his Capricious Will. Afterward he must do the WILL OF THE FATHER. When one no longer has an “Ego,” malice disappears, and one only knows how to do the Will of the Father. He is our true Being; he is the Ancient of Days; he is beyond Atman. When he commands, his orders must be carried out.

One comes to be liberated from the Ninth Sphere when one transforms into a Paramarthasatya (inhabitant of the Absolute); then one shall submerge into Abstract Bliss. But before going there, there will be a humiliation; one needs to descend once more, otherwise one violates the Law of Leviathan, the Seal of Solomon.

In the Apocalypse of the Holy Bible we also find the mysteries of the NINTH SPHERE: “And the number of those sealed: One hundred forty-four thousand sealed of all the tribes of the children of Israel.” (REVELATION 7:4). Adding the numbers Kabbalistically among themselves, we shall have the number NINE. 1 + 4 + 4 = 9. Nine is the Ninth Sphere, the Sex. Only those who have arrived at Absolute Chastity shall be saved.

“After this I beheld, and lo, the Lamb stood upon Mount Zion, and with him a hundred forty-four thousand, having his name and his Father’s written upon their foreheads.” (REVELATION 14:1-5). Mount Zion is the Superior Worlds; the figures are a symbolic quantity and Kabbalistically break down thus: 1 + 4 + 4 = 9, the Sex. Only with the GREAT ARCANUM can we be saved and receive the name of the Father upon our foreheads. The people are Zion; it is the Spiritual People of God. This people is formed by all those who practice Sexual Magic (the People of Chastity).

Concerning the New Jerusalem it says: “And he measured the wall, one hundred forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, which is that of an angel.” (REVELATION 21:17). 144 = 1 + 4 + 4 = 9, the Sex. The 9 is the measure of Man, which is that of an Angel. Nine months we remain within the maternal womb. Only in the Ninth Sphere can the Son of Man be born. There has never been an Angel known who was not born in the Ninth Sphere.

He who wishes to cut off the head of the Medusa (the I) must descend into the Ninth Sphere.

He who wishes to incarnate the Christ must descend into the Ninth Sphere. He who wishes to dissolve the I must descend into the Ninth Sphere. The Ninth Sphere is the Sanctum Regnum of the Divine Omnipotence of the Third Logos. In the Ninth Sphere we find the Blazing Forge of Vulcan.

Every chick that works in the Great Work must lean upon his staff, illuminate himself with his own lamp, and wrap himself in his sacred mantle. Every chick must be prudent. If you wish to incarnate the Christ, be like the lemon. Flee from Lust and from Alcohol. Kill the most intimate roots of Desire.

Many esoteric students abound who mistakenly affirm that there are numerous paths for arriving at God. But the Divine Great Master Jesus said: “Narrow is the gate and strait the way which leads to the light, and very few are those who find it.” (MATTHEW 7:14).

If the esoteric student patiently scrutinizes all that is contained in the FOUR GOSPELS, he can verify for himself that Jesus never said that there were many paths.

The adorable Savior of the World only spoke of one single NARROW DOOR, and of one Path alone — Narrow and Difficult. And that Door is Sex! And that path is Sex! There is no other path for arriving at God! Never has there been known, in all eternity, any prophet who has known any other door but Sex.

Some mistaken esoteric students, confused, erring, object to these teachings and affirm that Pythagoras, Zoroaster, Jesus, and other Initiates were celibates, and that supposedly they never had a woman.

In all the Temples of Mysteries there existed Sacred Vestals. The materialists, the disrespectful, the ill-intentioned have arbitrarily pretended to call them “sacred prostitutes.” However, those Vestals were truly Initiated Virgins. Esoteric Virgins, even though their bodies were no longer physiologically virginal.

The Initiates of the Temple — Pythagoras, Zoroaster, Jesus Christ, and all those ancient Initiates, WITHOUT EXCEPTION — really practiced the Arcanum A.Z.F. with the Vestals of the Temple. Only in the Blazing Forge of Vulcan could those Great Initiates retemper their weapons and conquer the heart of Venus.

”

There Mars descends to temper his flaming sword and conquer the heart of Venus (the Venustic Initiation).

Chapter Eleven: ARCANUM 10, “RETRIBUTION”

DESCRIPTION OF THE CARD:

In the Waters of Life we find TWO SERPENTS: the Positive, Solar, which healed the Israelites in the desert; and the Negative, Lunar, the Tempting Serpent of Eden, that of the Lunar Bodies, the Bodies of Sin.

In the central part the WHEEL OF FORTUNE, or Wheel of Samsara, the Wheel of Deaths and Births. On the right side HERMANUBIS, evolving, ascends; on the left side TYPHON BAPHOMET, involving, descends. After 108 lives, the wheel makes a complete turn; as it ascends we consider Evolution through the Mineral, Vegetable, Animal, and Human Kingdoms; as it descends, it descends by the same way. The Wheel of Samsara makes 3,000 turns; after them the Essence, after so many purifications and sufferings, returns to the Absolute, but without Self-realization. In the upper part the Sphinx in equilibrium upon the wheel represents Mother Nature. The Sphinx is the Elemental Intercessor of the Blessed Goddess Mother of the World. In her we shall find represented the Five Elements:

• WATER: THE FACE OF MAN.

• AIR: THE WINGS OF THE EAGLE.

• EARTH: THE FEET OF THE OX.

• FIRE: THE CLAWS OF THE LION.

• ETHER: THE STAFF.

ESOTERIC MEANING OF THE ARCANUM:

In Arcanum No. 10 we find the Wheel of Destiny, the Cosmogenic Wheel of Ezekiel. Upon this wheel we find the Battle of the Antitheses, Hermanubis on the right, Typhon on the left. This is the wheel of the centuries; it is the Wheel of Fortune, of REINCARNATION and of KARMA, the Terrible Wheel of Retribution; upon the wheel is the Mystery of the Sphinx.

In the Wheel of the ANTITHESES, the two serpents combat one another. In this wheel is contained all the secret of the Tree of Knowledge. From the unique fountain emerge the Four Rivers of Paradise; of these, one runs through the dense jungle of the sun, watering the Philosophical Earth of the Gold of Light; and the other circulates tenebrous and turbid through the Kingdom of the Abyss. LIGHT AND DARKNESS, White and Black Magic, combat one another. Eros and Anteros, Cain and Abel, live within ourselves in intense battle, until — discovering the Mystery of the Sphinx — we grasp the Flaming Sword; then we are liberated from the Wheel of the Centuries.

Arcanum No. 10 is Kabbalistically called Kingdom or Vital Center; it is called the Plasmating Root of all the Laws of Nature and the Cosmos. To plasmate signifies to intellectually conceive and afterward construct or sketch. For this reason the 10 is the Plasmating Principle of all things.

The circle with a point in the center is the Mysteries of the Lingam-Yoni; the Circle is the Absolute, the Eternal Feminine Principle; it is the Yoni in which all Universes are born. The point is the Lingam, the Eternal Masculine Principle. The circle with a point is the Macrocosmos; these are the mysteries of the Lingam-Yoni with which Universes can be created.

The Circle is Receptive; the Point is Projective. If the point is prolonged, lengthened, it becomes a line; it divides the circle in Two. With the point in movement, then we have the Lingam-Yoni, the two sexes Masculine and Feminine.

Drawing out the line which is within the circle, we have the Number 10, and also the Mantram of the Divine Mother.

The entire Universe is a product of the Sexual Energy; without the power of the Creative Energy the Universe cannot be plasmated; without Sexual Creative Energy there is no Universe — for this reason the “10” is the Plasmating Principle of All Nature.

It is said that the NUMBER 10 is the base, the Kingdom; and the person who obeys the commands of this ARCANUM sees the Return of all things. If the student knows how to obey, he sees the return of all things; he is elevated to Illumination and can see the Flux and Reflux of all things, because he is an Illuminated one.

Kabbalah says that we see things in the measure that we begin to obey the “10.”

In this number 10 are the Principles:

• CREATION.

• CONSERVATION.

• RENEWAL.

Here is the Word in its triple aspect.

We have already seen that the 10 emerges from said symbol, as does the IO which is the Mantram of the Divine Mother, also giving rise to the 10 Emanations of Prakriti — that is, the 10 Sephiroth of the Kabbalah.

The 10 Sephiroth are:

• KETHER: The Father, the Logos.

• CHOKMAH: The Son, Triune.

• BINAH: The Holy Spirit, the Sephirothic Crown.

This is the First Triangle. After the Sephirothic Crown comes:

• CHESED: He is Atman, the Innermost, our Divine Being.

• GEBURAH: The Feminine Spiritual Soul, the Buddhi.

• TIPHERETH: He is Manas, the Human Soul.

This is the Second Triangle; Buddhi is the Superlative Consciousness of the Being; she is the Principle of Justice, the Law. When one speaks of Consciousness it is Buddhi, the Elohim who says: “Fight for me in the name of the TE-TRA-GRAM-MA-TON.”

In the Third Triangle we have:

• NETZACH: The Solar Mind. The Christ-Mind.

• HOD: The legitimate Solar Astral Body.

• YESOD: It is the Cubic Stone, the Sex.

• MALKUTH: The Physical Body.

The 10 Sephiroth are within us ourselves; they underlie all organic and inorganic matter. Every human being has them, but he needs to incarnate them. The Sephiroth, once Self-realized, shine like precious gems within Atman. The Sephiroth form regions where dwell the Angels, Cherubim, Powers, etc.

The Sephiroth have their points of relation with the Physical Body.

Sephirothic Localization in the Physical Body:

• KETHER: Crown, in the upper part of the head.

• CHOKMAH: Right side of the brain.

• BINAH: Left side of the brain.

• CHESED: In the right arm.

• GEBURAH: In the left arm.

• TIPHERETH: In the heart.

• NETZACH: In the right leg.

• HOD: In the left leg.

• YESOD: In the sexual organs.

• MALKUTH: In the feet.

These are the points of contact of the Sephiroth with the human body. The Sephiroth are atomic; they are not atoms of Carbon, Oxygen, Nitrogen — THEY ARE ATOMS OF SPIRITUAL NATURE WHICH PERTAIN TO OCCULT, ESOTERIC, AND SPIRITUAL CHEMISTRY.

The Sephiroth are masculine, and there exist the SEPHIRAHS which are feminine; the Neutral Zone constitutes deep space, the Magnetic Fields, etc. THIS IS NOT FOUND IN THE BOOKS; ONE MUST DISCOVER IT FOR ONESELF. I SPEAK TO YOU FROM THE DIRECT MYSTICAL POINT OF VIEW.

”

After the Sephirothic Crown comes: - CHESED: He is Atman, the Innermost, our Divine Being. - GEBURAH: The Feminine Spiritual Soul, the Buddhi. - TIPHERETH: He is Manas, the Human Soul.

Chapter Twelve: ARCANUM 11, “PERSUASION”

DESCRIPTION OF THE CARD:

In the Waters of Life is the CUBIC STONE; within the stone the wading bird; above it the dove of the Holy Spirit.

In the middle a woman closes the jaws of a furious Lion, indicating that she is superior to violence. Upon her head a crown, and from her forehead emerges the Serpent, indicating Mastery.

THE LION is the Element Fire; it also represents Gold. Anciently the chariots of kings were drawn by lions, and in esoteric symbology the chariot of war drawn by lions symbolizes the SOLAR BODIES.

ESOTERIC MEANING OF THE ARCANUM:

In KABBALAH this Arcanum 11 is known as Persuasion. The hieroglyph of this Arcanum is a beautiful woman who, tranquilly and with Olympian serenity, closes with her own hands the jaws of a furious Lion.

The thrones of the Divine Kings were adorned with lions of MASSIVE GOLD. Gold signifies the Sacred Fire of the Kundalini. This reminds us of HORUS = GOLD.

We must transmute the LEAD OF THE PERSONALITY INTO THE GOLD OF THE SPIRIT; this work is only possible in the Laboratory of the Alchemist.

When the Alchemist chick is crowned, he is transformed into a God of Fire; then he opens with his own hands the terrible jaws of the furious Lion. The Potable Gold of Alchemy is the SACRED FIRE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. It would be impossible to perform the Ligation of the Cross-Man with the Triangle-Spirit (Arcanum No. 12) without Potable Gold.

The ELEVEN is broken down KABBALISTICALLY as follows:

1 + 1 = 2

1 = MASCULINE. 2 = FEMININE.

1 MAN + 1 WOMAN = 2 MAN-WOMAN, THE “FIRE.”

The number 11 consists of two unities which Henry Khunrath translates into these two words: COAGULA SOLVE. We need to accumulate the Sacred Fire, and afterward learn to project it. The key lies in the connection of the Membrum Virile with the Genitalia Murielis — stillness of the Membrum Virile and of the Genitalia Murielis, with gentle movement from time to time. To transmute the animal instincts into Will; sexual passion into Love; lustful thoughts into Comprehension; and thus to vocalize the secret mantrams.

Man is one unity, Woman is another; this is the number 11 of the Tarot. Only through woman, working in the Great Work, can we incarnate the Child of Gold, Horus, the Word, the Great Verb. Thus, then, the number 11 is the most multiplicable number.

”

It would be impossible to perform the Ligation of the Cross-Man with the Triangle-Spirit (Arcanum No. 12) without Potable Gold.

Chapter Thirteen: ARCANUM 12, “THE APOSTOLATE”

DESCRIPTION OF THE CARD:

In the Waters of Life is the PENTACLE OF SOLOMON, a variant of the Six-Pointed Star.

The three upper points represent the Three Traitors of Hiram-Abiff (the Inner Christ) — JUDAS, PILATE, AND CAIAPHAS (Desire, Mind, and Ill Will).

In the middle, 2 columns with 9 STEPS each; this is the Ninth Sphere (Sex). Let us recall that there exist 9 Heavens (the White Column) and 9 Infernal Regions (the Black Column). Each step must be descended in order to ascend one. Between the 2 columns there hangs a man, suspended by one foot, with his hands tied. With his feet he forms a cross, and with his arms the INVERTED TRIANGLE.

This figure represents that Sex dominates Reason; it is necessary to invert the symbol.

ESOTERIC MEANING OF THE ARCANUM:

Arcanum No. 12 represents the 12 Zodiacal Signs, the 12 APOSTLES, the 12 Tribes of Israel, the 12 Hours of Cooking of the Alchemist, the 12 Faculties, the Hydrogen SI-12.

Arcanum 12 of the Tarot is the APOSTOLATE. The figure of the hanged man forms a triangle with the point downward, and his legs form a cross above the triangle. All the work has as its object the acquisition of Soul — that is, to attain the ligation of the Cross with the Triangle; that is the Great Work.

Card Twelve of the Tarot is SEXUAL ALCHEMY; the Cross of man must be ligated with the Triangle-Spirit by means of the Sexual Fire.

Chinese tradition speaks of the 10 Trunks (Shikan), and the 12 Branches — that is, the 10 Sephiroth and the 12 Faculties of the human being. It is necessary to know that the 7 Chakras and the 5 Senses are the TWELVE FACULTIES.

Doubtless the spinal column has 7 Magnetic Centers — these are the 7 Chakras, or the 7 Churches of the Apocalypse of Saint John:

These are the 7 Chakras; and with these plus the 5 Senses one becomes an investigator of the Superior Worlds — these are the 12 Faculties of every human creature.

The Universe emerged from the Chinese Huel-Tum, the Chaos. The 10 TRUNKS and the 12 BRANCHES also emerged from the Chaos, which in Alchemy is the “Ens Seminis,” within which is contained the “Ens Virtutis,” which is the prime matter of the Great Work, which is the Entity of the Semen according to Paracelsus. This entity comes to be the PHILOSOPHICAL STONE or Lapis Philosophorum which the Medieval Alchemists sought so much.

All of the Misterium Magnum is enclosed within that Summa Materia (these are the Latin terms for designating the Arcanum A.Z.F.); the Alchemist must extract from amid this Mestrum Universale (the Chaos) all the Potable Gold or Sacred Fire, which must ascend through the spinal medulla and open the 7 Churches.

Once we have extracted the POTABLE GOLD, we can ligate the Cross with the Triangle — that is, the CROSS-MAN must be ligated with our Immortal Triad; we must incarnate the “Spirit,” which alone transforms us into a HUMAN BEING; before achieving this we are only Intellectual Animals.

THE GREAT WORK or “Magnus Opus” is represented by Arcanum No. 12 of the Tarot (it is said Magnus Opus in rigorous esoteric language). The arms of the figure form the triangle; his feet, the cross; his head is the ligation of the Triangle with the Cross by means of the Potable Gold.

According to the Chinese, the God Fu-Ji (the Adam-Christ) is born at Midnight on the 4th day of the tenth moon, at the exact age of 12 years. The Virgin Hoa-Se, walking along the bank of the river (the Seminal Liquor), conceives in her womb the Christ, when she steps upon the footprint of the Great Man.

All these dates are very interesting:

The day 4 is the 4 Elements.

In the 10 is all the secret of the Lingam-Yoni; it represents the 10 Sephiroth, and the circle with a line splitting it through the middle is the Mystery of Sex.

The 12 is the 12 Faculties needed to incarnate the Christ in the heart.

Arcanum No. 12 is profoundly studied in the 12 Keys of Basil Valentine.

Just as the lion transforms the serpent into its own flesh when it devours it, so likewise the power of DEVI KUNDALINI, the transmuted Sacred Fire, eliminates all its Defects, its Errors. The important thing is the MAGNUM OPUS — the key is already known to us, the Maithuna. The Alchemists must work for 12 Hours to attain the ferment of Gold. Here is Arcanum 12: he who possesses Fermented Gold can have the joy of truly Being.

The Essence or fraction of incarnated Soul is bottled up within the PLURALIZED I or EGO; this is wedged within the Animal Mental Body and the Lunar Body of Desire, and manifests itself by means of the Physical Body. We are differentiated from animals only by the Intellect — because animals also have Mind, but not Intellect.

AUTHENTIC MAN needs to eliminate the “Ego” and manufacture the Solar Bodies with the transmutation of the H-SI-12 (12 Laws). The fabrication of the Solar Bodies is intimately related with Music and its 7 Notes. The Hydrogen SI-12 is elaborated in the human organism, beginning with the process of digestion.

• DO: When the food is in the mouth.

• RE: When it reaches the throat.

• MI: When it reaches the level of the lungs.

• FA: When it reaches the stomach, splenic, hepatic.

• SOL: When it reaches the Solar Plexus.

• LA: When it reaches the colon, pancreas.

If, when the H-SI-12 is elaborated, it can be elevated to a higher musical octave (after the note SI comes the DO which corresponds to another musical scale at a higher octave) by means of the Restraint of the sexual impulse and the ejaculation, this is how the H-SI-12 passes into a SECOND OCTAVE, giving origin to the Solar Astral Body. By means of a third shock the Hydrogen would pass into a THIRD OCTAVE, which would give origin to the Solar Mental Body.

A FOURTH OCTAVE gives birth to the Body of the Conscious Will. All this work is with the Maithuna. In possession of these 4 Vehicles, our Divine Being would enter through the Pineal gland, and then we would arrive at the SECOND BIRTH and would be transformed into True Men; while we have the Animal Lunar Bodies we are Intellectual Animals — and are a chrysalis which can be transformed into the Celestial Butterfly. This is achieved with SUPER-EFFORTS.

The food of the Physical Body is the H-48 (48 Laws); if we save this Hydrogen it can be transformed into H-24 (24 Laws), which serves as nourishment for the Solar Astral Body. This Hydrogen (24) is wasted through excessive work, useless efforts, desires, emotions, fits of anger.

The H-12 is the nourishment of the Solar Mental Body; it is wasted through intellectual efforts; if we save it, the H-6 will be obtained to feed the Body of the Conscious Will.

He who has the Superior Existential Bodies of the Being has the right to incarnate his Divine Triad: ATMAN-BUDDHI-MANAS.

Then it is said: “A NEW SON OF MAN HAS BEEN BORN, A MASTER, A MAHATMA.”

All that is written in the Apocalypse is for the end times. We have to inform humanity that the end times have already arrived.

The whole poor humanity is divided into Twelve tribes. All humanity develops and unfolds within the Zodiacal Matrix. The Zodiac is a uterus within which humanity is gestated. The Twelve Tribes can only receive the seal of God upon their foreheads by practicing the Arcanum A.Z.F.: “And the number of those sealed…” (REVELATION 7:4). “From the tribe of Judah Twelve thousand Sealed. From the tribe of Reuben, Twelve thousand Sealed…” (REVELATION 7:5-8).

From each of the Twelve Zodiacal Tribes there are only TWELVE THOUSAND SEALED. Here is Arcanum 12 of the Tarot. Here is the ligation of the Cross with the Triangle. Here is Sexual Magic. Here is the Work performed, the Living Man who touches the earth only with his thought.

Only twelve thousand chosen ones from each of the Twelve Tribes of Israel shall be saved from the Great Cataclysm (this quantity is symbolic). Only those who have attained the ligation of the Cross-Man with the Triangle-Spirit shall be saved.

Concerning the New Jerusalem we find the following: “And it had a great and high wall with TWELVE gates (the Twelve Zodiacal Gates in the Universe and in Man), and at the gates twelve angels (Zodiacal), and names written which are those of the twelve tribes of Israel” (the Twelve Types of Humanities according to the influence of the Twelve Zodiacal Signs). (REVELATION 21:12).

“AS ABOVE, SO BELOW.” Man has Twelve Faculties governed by Twelve Atomic Angels. In starry space and in man there exist TWELVE ZODIACAL SIGNS. It is necessary to Transmute the Sexual Energy and make it pass through the Twelve Zodiacal Gates of the human organism. The prophet continues speaking of the Twelve Zodiacal Gates thus:

“On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; on the west three gates.” (REVELATION 21:13).

“And the wall of the city had Twelve foundations, and in them the Twelve names of the Twelve apostles of the Lamb.” (REVELATION 21:14). The Twelve Zodiacal Signs and the Twelve Energetic Spheres which penetrate and interpenetrate without confusing themselves. In the Twelve Regions the Solar Humanity totally realizes itself.

ARCANUM No. 12 is the foundation of the Celestial Jerusalem; Arcanum Twelve is the symbol of SEXUAL ALCHEMY. This is the sacrifice and the Work performed.

One must work with the Gold and the Silver; one must work with the Moon and the Sun in order to edify the Celestial Jerusalem within each man. The Gold and the Silver, the Sun and the Moon, are the Sexual Forces of man and woman.

In Arcanum Twelve is enclosed all the Science and Philosophy of the Great Work. In the Christic Semen is concealed the Living and Philosophical Secret Fire. The Mysticism of Sexual Alchemy is that of all the Ancient Initiates.

The Philosophy of Sexual Alchemy has its principles in the School of the Essenes; in the School of Alexandria, in the Teachings of Pythagoras, in the Mysteries of Egypt, Troy, Rome, Carthage, Eleusis; in the Wisdom of the Aztecs and the Mayas, etc.

The Science of Sexual Alchemy and its procedures must be studied in the books of Paracelsus, Nicolas Flamel, Raymond Lully. We also find the procedures concealed behind the veil of all the symbols in the hieratic figures of the ancient hieroglyphs of many ancient Temples, in the Greek, Egyptian myths, etc.

You! who seek INITIATION. You! who read so much, you! who live flitting from school to school, always searching, always longing, always sighing — tell me with sincerity, have you already awakened the KUNDALINI? Have you already opened the 7 Churches of your spinal medulla? Have you already incarnated the Lamb?

Answer me, brother reader. Be sincere with yourself. Place your hand upon your heart and answer me with sincerity. Have you realized yourself? Are you sure that with your theories you will be transformed into a God? What have you attained? What have you accomplished with all your theories?

He who wishes to Self-realize needs the Revolution of the Consciousness: To Die-To Be Born-To Sacrifice oneself. Revolution of the Consciousness when we decapitate the I. Revolution of the Consciousness when we manufacture the Solar Bodies. Revolution of the Consciousness when we incarnate the Being. Until then one does not have Real existence.

”

The three upper points represent the Three Traitors of Hiram-Abiff (the Inner Christ) — JUDAS, PILATE, AND CAIAPHAS (Desire, Mind, and Ill Will).

Chapter Fourteen: ARCANUM 13, “IMMORTALITY”

DESCRIPTION OF THE CARD:

In this arcanum the sheaves of wheat represent Rebirth, as do the flowers. THE FLOWERS, THE BEGINNING OF LIFE; THE WHEAT, THE END.

A HIERARCH OF THE LAW cuts some sheaves of Wheat, which have large and small grains called the Boby-Caldenos, which represent the Values, the Capital which each human being bears in his THREE BRAINS (INTELLECTUAL, MOTOR, EMOTIONAL). Whoever bears small grains lives little, dying within a few days, months, or in the first years of life. One lives in thirds and one dies in thirds; he who squanders his Intellectual Capital falls into madness, schizophrenia, etc. He who squanders his Motor Center, or Center of Movement, ends paralyzed, deformed, etc.; he who squanders his Emotional Center suffers heart diseases.

This Arcanum has a physical and internal representation; it is the Arcanum of Judas Iscariot, which represents the Death of the “Ego.”

The SCYTHE is the funereal symbol of the ANGELS OF DEATH.

ESOTERIC MEANING OF THE ARCANUM:

In truth, Death is the return to the matrix. LIFE AND DEATH are two phenomena of the same thing.

DEATH is a subtraction of fractions; the mathematical operation finished, only the VALUES OF THE CONSCIOUSNESS remain. The Values of the Personality are subtracted. There is no tomorrow for the Personality of the deceased; it has a beginning and an end. The Values of the Consciousness are bottled up within the “Ego”; these, seen clairvoyantly, appear as a legion of ghosts — this is that which continues.

The return of the Values is the mechanics of Nature. Truly the Soul does not return, because man has not yet incarnated his Soul. Only the Values return.

When the hour of death arrives, the ANGEL OF DEATH attends the bed of the dying person, charged with cutting the Thread of Existence. At the precise instant in which we exhale our final breath, the Angel of Death takes the individual out of his Physical Body and cuts with his scythe the Silver Cord (a certain mysterious thread of silvery color which connects the Internal Bodies with the Physical Body). Such a magnetic cord can lengthen or shorten itself to infinity. Thanks to this thread we can rejoin the Physical Body at the moment of awakening, after sleep.

The dying are wont to see the ANGEL OF DEATH; when they are working they dress themselves in their funereal robes and assume a spectral, skeletal figure and grasp the scythe with which they cut the Silver Cord. That gloomy figure they assume only in their work; outside of it they adopt very beautiful figures — sometimes as children, sometimes as ladies, or as Venerable elders. The Angels of Death are never evil or perverse; they always work in accord with the Great Law. Each one is born in his hour and dies exactly in his time.

The Angels of Death are very wise, and they develop and unfold under the Ray of Saturn. Not only do they know what relates to the ordinary death of the Physical Body — these Ministers of Death are, in addition, profoundly wise in everything related to the Death of the “Pluralized I.”

PROSERPINE, THE QUEEN OF THE INFERNOS, is also Hecate, the Blessed Goddess Mother Death, under whose direction the Angels of Death work. The Mother Space transformed into Mother Death loves her children profoundly, and for that reason takes them away.

The Blessed Goddess Mother Death has the power to punish us when we violate the Law, and the authority to take our life. It is indubitable that she is merely a magnificent facet of our Mystical DYAD, a splendid form of our own Being. Without her consent no Angel of Death would dare to break the Thread of Life, the Silver Cord, the Antakarana.

Three human forms go to the sepulcher:

• THE PHYSICAL CADAVER.

• THE VITAL BODY OR LINGAM SARIRA.

• THE PERSONALITY.

The Physical Body, in a gradual process, disintegrates within the sepulchral pit.

The Vital Body floating before the sepulcher like a phosphorescent ghost, sometimes visible to very psychic people, disintegrates slowly as the Physical Body goes on disintegrating.

The PERSONALITY is ENERGETIC; it is formed during the first seven years of infancy and is strengthened with time and experiences. The Personality is the child of its time; it is born in its time; there is no tomorrow for the Personality of the deceased. After the death of the Physical Body, the Personality is within the sepulcher, but emerges when someone brings flowers, when some mourner visits her; she wanders about the cemetery and returns to her sepulcher. Slowly she goes on disintegrating in the cemetery.

That which continues, that which does not go to the Sepulcher, is the “Ego,” the Self, the Myself, the “I”: a certain sum of Devil-I’s which personify our Psychological Defects.

That which continues after Death is, then, not anything very beautiful. That which is not destroyed with the Physical Body is no more than a heap of Devils, of Psychic Aggregates, of Defects; the only decent thing which exists in the depths of all those cavernous entities which constitute the Ego is the Essence, the Psyche, the Buddhata.

Normally said Psychic Aggregates are processed in the Astral and Mental worlds. Rare are the Essences that succeed in emancipating themselves for some time from among such subjective elements, in order to enjoy some vacations in the Causal World, before returning to this vale of tears. But this is possible with the Dissolution of the Ego.

The Egos normally submerge into the Mineral Kingdom, into the Infernal Worlds, or return immediately or mediately into a new organism.

The Ego continues in the seed of our descendants; we return incessantly to repeat the same dramas, the same tragedies.

We must emphasize that “NOT ALL OF THE PSYCHIC AGGREGATES ATTAIN SUCH A HUMAN RETURN”; in reality many Devil-I’s are lost — either because they submerge into the Mineral Kingdom, or continue reincorporating themselves into animal organisms, or resolutely cling and adhere to determined places.

”

The Values of the Consciousness are bottled up within the “Ego”; these, seen clairvoyantly, appear as a legion of ghosts — this is that which continues.

Chapter Fifteen: ARCANUM 14, “TEMPERANCE”

DESCRIPTION OF THE CARD:

In the Waters of Life we find three flowers; and from the middle one a serpent rises. These three flowers represent SAT: the Innermost, Atman; CHIT: Buddhi, the Spiritual Soul; ANANDA: Manas, the Human Soul.

The three flowers also represent:

• THE SACRED FIRE.

• THE PRIME MATTER.

• THE MIXTURE.

In the middle an Angel shows us in his vestment the TRIAD and the Quaternary (4 Bodies of Sin). On his forehead shines a Sun with 14 rays — 7 visible and 7 invisible; the visible represent the 7 Planets, and the Invisible the 7 Chakras. The Angel has two cups or two jars, with which he mixes two elixirs; one cup is of Gold and contains the Red Elixir; the other is of Silver, containing the White Elixir. Both produce the Elixir of Long Life. Many Masters have attained Immortality — Babaji, Sanat Kumara, Paracelsus, etc.

ESOTERIC MEANING OF THE ARCANUM:

In Arcanum No. 14 an Angel appears with a Sun upon his forehead, with a cup in each hand, performing the mixture of the Red Elixir with the White Elixir. From the mixture of these two results the Elixir of Long Life; undoubtedly this Elixir is the one which the medieval alchemists so longed for. The White Elixir is the Woman, and the Red Elixir is the Man — without whom it is impossible to elaborate the Elixir of Long Life. That of the woman emanates from the Moon, and that of the man from the Sun — there is the color.

When the SEPTENARY MAN unites sexually with the SEPTENARY WOMAN, an addition is made which gives as result Arcanum 14 of the Tarot. It is not amiss to assure in passing that the Man has SEVEN PRINCIPLES, the same as the Woman. Sex is the most important and most rapid center of the human being.

The process of creating a new being is realized within the Law of the Musical Octaves. The 7 Notes of the musical scale are the basis of all creation. IF WE TRANSMUTE THE CREATIVE ENERGY, we begin a new Octave in the Etheric World, whose result is a vehicle with which we can penetrate consciously into all the Departments of the Kingdom.

A Third Octave permits us to engender the true Astral, THE CHRIST-ASTRAL. On reaching these heights, the old Astral of the ghost remains reduced to an empty shell which goes on disintegrating little by little.

A Fourth Octave permits us to engender the Christ-Mind; this vehicle gives us true Wisdom and Unity of Thought. Only he who engenders the Christ-Mind has the right to say: “I HAVE A MENTAL BODY.” The current Mental Body is only a ghost of the façade. Truly this is transformed into a hollow shell; when the true Mind is born, the latter disintegrates, reduced to cosmic dust.

The Fifth Musical Octave engenders the true Causal Body; on reaching these heights, we incarnate the Soul; then we have Real Existence. Before that instant we have no Real Existence.

”

A Fourth Octave permits us to engender the Christ-Mind; this vehicle gives us true Wisdom and Unity of Thought.

Chapter Sixteen: ARCANUM 15, “PASSION”

DESCRIPTION OF THE CARD:

In the Waters of Life the representation of GEBURAH (the Law). In the middle TYPHON BAPHOMET appears, holding in his left arm the Rod of Command and in his right hand a Serpent which rises. His right hand is masculine and his left is feminine; his breasts indicate that he is ANDROGYNOUS. With the apron Wisdom is covered, and from the same apron emerges the tail.

The face is deformed because of the errors or sins. The Baphomet has been represented as the brass which currently humanity has blackened owing to degeneration. We must “whiten the brass,” the Devil, who is the Psychological Trainer and Guardian of the doors of the Sanctuary so that only the elect — those who have been able to overcome all the trials imposed by the Devil — may enter.

ESOTERIC MEANING OF THE ARCANUM:

Arcanum 15 of the Tarot represents the goat of Mendes, Lucifer, Typhon Baphomet, the Devil.

“THE ALCHEMIST MUST STEAL THE FIRE FROM THE DEVIL.”

When we work with the Arcanum A.Z.F., we steal the Fire from the Devil; thus we transform ourselves into Gods; thus the FIVE-POINTED STAR shines resplendently.

The horns end in 6 POINTS. Arcanum 6 is Sex, indicating that in Sex is liberation through chastity, or the enslavement of man through passion. There exists a difference with Arcanum No. 1: the right hand is above and the left toward the earth.

The Mystery of the Baphomet is Sexual Alchemy, based upon comprehension and transmutation of the Creative Energies.

The Baphomet of the Templars must be read in reverse — Tem-o-h-p-ab — symbol of the Latin words: TEMPLI OMNIUM HOMINUM PACIS ABBAS. This means: “The Father of the Temple, Universal Peace of Men.”

Arcanum 15 appears after the 13, which is the Death of the I, of the Ego, of the Myself; and after Arcanum 14, which is Temperance, the Chastity which results after the death of the Ego. Arcanum 15, then, is the Divine Androgyne who shines anew; it is the Whitened Brass.

We know that beyond the body, the affections, and the Mind, is the Inner Logos, the Divinal. Unquestionably, that which is the ineffable, that which is the real, projects its own reflection, its particular shadow, within ourselves here and now. Obviously such a Shadow, such a Logoic Reflection, is the Psychological Trainer, Lucifer, the Tempter. Each of us has his own PARTICULAR LUCIFER.

In Pharaonic Egypt, the Midday Sun, the Sacred Absolute Sun, was always symbolized by Osiris, while his Shadow, his Reflection, his Lucifer, is allegorized by TYPHON.

In the Sacred Temples of ancient Pharaonic Egypt, when the neophyte was about to suffer the trials of Initiation, a Master would approach him and murmur in his ear this mysterious phrase: “REMEMBER THAT OSIRIS IS A BLACK GOD.”

Evidently this is the specific color of the shadows and Cimmerian darkness; it is of the Devil, to whom black roses were always offered; and also of the Primitive Chaos, where all the elements and germs of life mix and confuse themselves totally; the symbol of the Element Earth, of Night, and of the radical Death of all those Psychic Aggregates which in their totality constitute the Myself.

We need, with maximum and unpostponable urgency, to “WHITEN THE DEVIL,” and this is only possible by fighting against ourselves, dissolving all that aggregation of Psychic Aggregates which constitute the “I,” the Myself, the Self. Only by dying within ourselves can we Whiten the brass and contemplate the Sun of Midnight (the Father). This signifies overcoming the temptations and eliminating each and every one of the Inhuman Elements which we bear within (Anger, Greed, Lust, Envy, Pride, Sloth, Gluttony, etc., etc., etc.).

In the Psychological Gymnasium of human existence, a Trainer is always required. The Divine Daimon, cited so many times by Socrates — the very Shadow of our individual Spirit — is the most extraordinary Psychological Trainer which each one of us carries within; he leads us into temptations with the purpose of training us, educating us; only thus is it possible that the precious gems of the Virtues may sprout in our Psyche.

Now I ask myself and ask you: where lies the malice of Lucifer? The results are what speak; if there is no temptation there are no virtues — the stronger the temptations, the greater the Virtues. The important thing is not to fall into temptation, and for this reason we must pray to the Father, saying: “Lead me not into temptation.”

Only through struggle, contrast, temptation, and rigorous esoteric discipline can the flowers of Virtue sprout in us.

LUCIFER, as Tutor, Educator, Mentor, is truly unique, unusual, extraordinary. There exists in the Luciferic Temptation: didactics, inimitable, marvelous pedagogy, astonishing attraction, unmistakable incentive, hidden instigation with secret Divinal purposes, seduction, fascination… Lucifer Prometheus is one with the Platonic Logos, the Minister of the Demiurge Creator and resplendent Lord of the Seven Mansions of Hades (Hell); Sabbath and of the manifested world, to whom are entrusted the Sword and the Balance of Cosmic Justice — for he is unquestionably the norm of weight, measure, and number; the Horus, the Brahma, the Ahura-Mazda, etc., always ineffable.

Lucifer (Luci = Light; Fer = Fire) is the Guardian of the door and holds the keys of the Lumisial so that none penetrate it but the anointed who possess the secret of Hermes…

Those who rashly curse Lucifer pronounce themselves against the Cosmic Reflection of the Logos, anathematize the Living God manifested in Matter, and renege upon the always incomprehensible Wisdom, revealing itself equally in the contraries of Light and Darkness. Likeness, similitude, similarity: Sun and Shadow, Day and Night, the Law of Contraries.

The Devil, the Reflection of our Inner Logos, was the most excellent creature before we fell into animal generation. “Whiten the brass and burn thy books,” all the Masters of the Hermetic Art repeat to us. Whoever Whitens the Devil, returning him to his resplendent and primigenial state — whoever dies within himself here and now — liberates Prometheus enchained. And the latter repays him manyfold, because he is a colossus with power over the Heavens, over the Earth, and over the Hells.

Lucifer-Prometheus, radically integrated with all the parts of our Being, makes of us something distinct, different, an exotic creature, an Archangel, a terribly Divine Power.

”

We know that beyond the body, the affections, and the Mind, is the Inner Logos, the Divinal.

Chapter Seventeen: ARCANUM 16, “FRAGILITY”

DESCRIPTION OF THE CARD:

In the Waters of Life the Staff of Power, the Rod of Command, and the Cilice (whip) which represents FRAGILITY. On both sides of these symbols the two serpents, the Positive and the Negative.

From the upper part descends the Ray of Cosmic Justice, destroying the tower which the Kabbalists call the Tower of Babel. Two characters are hurled into the bottom of the Abyss, one to the right and the other to the left; they fall forming the sign of the INVERTED FLAMING STAR with their arms, legs, and heads downward; symbolizing the fall of the Bodhisattvas: the fall is by Sex; by spilling the Vase of Hermes.

One must distinguish a “Fall” from a “Descent”: the Initiate descends into the Ninth Sphere during the work in the forge in order to destroy his Defects in the Inferior Regions and then ascend to the Heavens; one Heaven won after each Hell worked. The Initiate falls when he spills the semen.

ESOTERIC MEANING OF THE ARCANUM:

Arcanum No. 16 is that of the Smitten Tower; this is the Tower of Babel.

Many are the initiates who let themselves fall. Many are the Smitten Towers. Every Initiate who spills the Vase of Hermes falls inevitably. The legend of the Fallen Angels has been repeated and shall continue repeating itself eternally.

Currently there live in the world many Fallen Gods. These are now disguised with the bodies of men.

It is necessary to Awaken Consciousness so as not to fall into the abyss of perdition; currently there exist many Chiefs of esoteric groups with profoundly sleeping Consciousness. “Blind guides of the blind, all shall fall into the abyss.” That is the Law. Human beings live absolutely asleep. It is necessary to awaken the Consciousness so as not to walk blindly. The blind can fall into the Abyss. Arcanum 16 is very dangerous.

Those students who practice esoteric exercises without working in the Arcanum A.Z.F. are like the man who builds his house upon sand — his edifice shall fall into the abyss; we must build upon the Living Stone. That STONE IS SEX. Whoever develops Chakras while having the Lunar Internal Bodies shall fall into the Abyss; his Temple shall be a Smitten Tower. Whoever engenders his Christic Bodies with the Arcanum A.Z.F. and works in the development of his Chakras transforms himself into a living Christ.

”

It is necessary to Awaken Consciousness so as not to fall into the abyss of perdition; currently there exist many Chiefs of esoteric groups with profoundly sleeping Consciousness.

Chapter Eighteen: ARCANUM 17, “HOPE”

DESCRIPTION OF THE CARD:

In the Waters of Life the two triangles, THE POSITIVE AND THE NEGATIVE. In the central part a woman watering the earth with the two elixirs (Masculine and Feminine); on her head a lotus flower indicating her developed Chakras.

In the upper part shines the Star of Venus with eight rays, symbolizing that after the Initiations of Fire come those of Light.

ESOTERIC MEANING OF THE ARCANUM:

The Hieroglyph of Arcanum No. 17 is THE RADIANT STAR AND ETERNAL YOUTH. In this Arcanum a naked woman appears who spreads upon the earth the Sap of Universal Life, which flows from two vases — one of gold and one of silver.

If we carefully study the esoteric content of this Arcanum, we discover PERFECT ALCHEMY. We need to work with the Gold and with the Silver, with the Sun and with the Moon, in order to incarnate the Eight-Pointed Star, the MORNING STAR.

Truly the Eight-Pointed Star is Venus. Whoever attains the Venustic Initiation has the joy of incarnating the DRAGON OF WISDOM (THE INNER CHRIST).

One must work with the Fire and the Water in order to receive the Venustic Initiation. The Star Crucified upon the Cross is the Christ of the Abraxas, the Son of Man, the incarnate Word.

In the Apocalypse of Saint John is documented that which relates to Venus, the MORNING STAR: “And to him who overcomes I will give the Morning Star” (REVELATION 2:26-28). “I, Jesus, sent my angel to give you this testimony for the congregations. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the Bright Morning Star.” (REVELATION 22:16).

Christ is the Star of the Dawn. Christ enters into the Soul when the Venustic Initiation is received.

When we decapitate and dissolve the I, the Myself, then we receive the Venustic Initiation; he who receives it incarnates his Star.

The Star is the SON OF MAN; the Truth. No one can seek the Truth. Truth cannot be known by the “I.” No one can seek that which he does not know. Satan, the I, the Ego which we bear within, CANNOT KNOW THE TRUTH. Truth cannot be read, studied, or recognized by the Mind. Truth is absolutely distinct from all that which can be read, studied, or recognized by the Mind. Truth comes to us when we have Decapitated and Dissolved the “I.”

The various truths of the people are no more than projections of the Mind. Decapitate thine own I, dissolve it with rigorous purifications. Thus shall ye arrive at the Venustic Initiation. Then shall ye incarnate the Truth. The Word shall be made flesh in thee. Ye shall incarnate the Son of Man and shall receive the Morning Star.

Everyone who wishes to incarnate the Star must work with the Sap of Life contained in the Two Sacred Vases which the naked Woman of Arcanum 17 holds between her hands.

The Star which guides our Inner is the FATHER STAR. The important thing for us is to Incarnate that Father Star. Here is the Mystery of Arcanum 17. The Sap contained in the Vases of Gold and Silver, when wisely combined and transmuted, permits us to attain the incarnation of the Star. THE STAR CRUCIFIED UPON THE CROSS IS THE CHRIST.

”

Whoever attains the Venustic Initiation has the joy of incarnating the DRAGON OF WISDOM (THE INNER CHRIST).

Chapter Nineteen: ARCANUM 18, “THE TWILIGHT”

DESCRIPTION OF THE CARD:

In the Waters of Life a SCORPION within an inverted triangle, signifying that by spilling the VASE OF HERMES, we kill the Divine Mother as the scorpion does.

In the middle, two pyramids — one White and one Black — symbolizing THE POSITIVE AND THE NEGATIVE. Two dogs or wolves, one White and the other Black, bark at the Moon; the White is Positive, symbolizing Friendship; the Black is Negative, symbolizing the “PSYCHOLOGICAL I.” They represent the terrible struggle between the Tenebrous Forces. The Moon in itself represents Sex; we must work with the Moon to transform it into the Sun. The dog also represents the Sexual Instinct — for this reason the dog is the one who leads us to the very doors of the Absolute.

ESOTERIC MEANING OF THE ARCANUM:

It is necessary to study, analyze, and reflect profoundly upon the esoteric content of this Arcanum.

Arcanum No. 18 is LIGHT AND SHADOW, WHITE MAGIC AND BLACK MAGIC — this is represented in the Black Dog and the White Dog, the Black Pyramid and the White.

Adding Arcanum 18 Kabbalistically, we find that 1 + 8 = 9, the Ninth Sphere, Sex. We had already said that within our PLANETARY ORGANISM there are 9 interior strata; these are the 9 Vaults of Occult Masonry. The Ninth corresponds to the nucleus of the planetary organism; there is the sepulchre of Hiram Abiff, or CHIRAM OSIRIS, who is the Intimate Christ of each one, of every person who comes to this world.

It is an error to believe or suppose that the Christ is only JESHUA BEN PANDIRA, which is the name of Jesus the Christ; we do not deny that he is the living incarnation of the Word, of the Logos.

All of us need to resurrect that INTIMATE CHRIST; and to attain this, it is obvious that we must descend into the Ninth Sphere, Sex. For this reason it is said that Hiram Abiff is in the Ninth Circle, in the Ninth Vault.

We are all children of sex; for this reason in the Divine Comedy one sees the condemned in the Ninth Circle with the water up to the creative organs, and they weep and their tears are congealed in their eyes because it is a vale of tears and afflictions. The fact that the waters reach to their creative organs is because these are the spermatic Waters; we are all born and die weeping.

If we add 9 + 9 = 18. In Arcanum 18 the number “9” is contained TWICE; between them there is a balance — one nine is the Positive Aspect and the other nine is the Negative Aspect; but in itself, the 18 results Negative, ill-omened; these are the Secret Enemies of the Arcanum of the Twilight. The fact is that in the work of the Ninth Sphere one must struggle greatly, because one must learn to sublimate the Sexual Energy; therein lies the key of all empires.

In Arcanum 18 the Ninth Sphere is repeated twice. We already know that the number 1 is Positive and that the number 2 is Negative. So if we repeat the Ninth Sphere a first time, and a second, we shall have Sex in its two aspects: Positive and Negative. Now you will understand why Arcanum 18 is Light and Darkness, White Magic and Black Magic. In Arcanum 18 we find the Secret Enemies of the initiation.

Now, let us study the symbolism of the dog. The dog participates in Magic. A generous animal which in ancient times was always consecrated to the God Mercury. THE DOG OF MERCURY is strictly symbolic, for it clearly allegorizes the Sexual Power. The high honor which the Old Hierophants of ancient Egypt accorded the Dog is patent.

The “SEXUAL FIRE,” the Dog, the Erotic Instinct, is that extraordinary and marvelous agent which can radically transform us.

THE DOG CERBERUS is in the Infernal Worlds, and from there we must take him out — steal him from the Hells; this signifies Liberating the Sexual Force.

It is urgent to take Cerberus out of Pluto’s dwelling — that prodigy of terror who, with his barks, his three enormous flat heads and his neck surrounded by serpents, lives happy there, filling all the dead with terror and barking at them.

The Dog and the Swan that fly over the Waters of Life signify the same as the Dove, the same as the Egyptian Ibis — the Force of the Holy Spirit, the Sexual Force. All of this is the Vase of Hermes, which must be raised high above.

In the Archaic Doctrine, in Occult Wisdom, mention is made of the Guide Dog, who leads the Knight as far as the Sanctum Regnum; there are times when the Knight forgets the Dog and believes that without him he can continue the path — and it is not so. Sooner or later, when he feels himself stuck, no recourse remains for him but to seize the Dog.

When we are stuck, it is he who shows us the way. We must take him out of the abyss. We must not forget that Cerberus-Tricipitis pulls the leash of his master, leading him safely along the steep path that leads to FINAL LIBERATION.

HERCULES took him out of the Abyss to serve as his guide, and that is what we ourselves do when we attain Chastity; then, working in the Forge of the Cyclops, practicing Sexual Magic, transmuting our Creative Energies, we advance along the Path on the Razor’s Edge until Liberation.

Woe to the Knight who abandons his Dog! He shall stray from the way and shall fall into the abyss of perdition.

Unfortunately the Intellectual Animal, mistakenly called man, has not attained Chastity — that is, has not taken Cerberus out of the infernal domains. Now you will explain to yourselves the motive for which the deceased suffer in the Plutonian Abysses when they hear the barks of Cerberus, the Hound of the three hungry jaws. Let us not forget that Cerberus, the watchdog of the Hells, caressed those who entered and pitilessly devoured those who attempted to leave.

It is obvious that the lost suffer with the insatiable thirst of Lust in the frightful Tartarus.

In Arcanum 18 we must wage bloody battles against the Tenebrous Ones. “HEAVEN IS TAKEN BY ASSAULT.” “THE VALIANT HAVE TAKEN IT.” In the Internal Worlds the Tenebrous Ones of Arcanum 18 assault the student violently. This path is full of dangers within and without. Many are those who begin; few are those who arrive. Most stray onto the Black Path. In Arcanum 18 exist dangers too subtle which the student ignores.

The Number 9 is Positive and Negative at the same time; this is the Mystery of Arcanum 18. In this terrible Arcanum we find all the philters and the Witchcraft of Thessaly. The books of the Grimoires are full of tenebrous recipes very proper to Arcanum 18: erotic magical ceremonies, rites to make oneself beloved, dangerous philters, etc., etc., etc. All this is Arcanum 18. We must warn Gnostic students that the most dangerous philter which the Tenebrous Ones use to draw the student off the Path on the Razor’s Edge is the Intellect. To invite them to the ejaculation of the Seminal Liquor, or to lead us astray by making us run after schools, theories, sects, etc., etc.

Let it not be forgotten that the deceived men adore the great Beast and say: “There is none like the Beast! Who can be greater than the Beast?” (REVELATION 13:1-17).

“HERE IS WISDOM. Let him who has understanding count the Number of the beast, for it is the Number of a man. And his number is Six hundred sixty-six.” (13:18).

The mark of the Beast is the two horns on the forehead. Millions and millions of human beings already have the mark of the Beast on the forehead and on the hands. Almost the whole human population of this vale of tears already has the mark of the Beast on the forehead and on the hands. All those Souls were lost, and since 1950 they have been entering into the Abyss. Human Evolution failed totally.

The number of the Great Beast is “666.” That is the number of a man, because that number breaks down Kabbalistically thus: 6 + 6 + 6 = 18. Adding among themselves this result we have the following: 1 + 8 = 9, it is Sex. Nine is Man, because Man is the son of Sex. In total in the 666 are contained the Arcana 18 and 9. Arcanum 18 is the Abyss, the Darkness, the Sexual Temptations against which the initiate must struggle. Arcanum 9 is the Ninth Sphere, Initiation.

The Gods judged the Great Harlot, whose number is 666. The sentence of the Gods was: To the Abyss! To the Abyss! To the Abyss!

Chapter Twenty: ARCANUM 19, “INSPIRATION”

DESCRIPTION OF THE CARD:

In the Waters of Life three flowers which represent the THREE PRIMARY FORCES. In the middle a couple holding hands, forming the Tao Key. In the upper part a radiant Sun above their heads with 7 Rays, reminding us of the SEVEN DEGREES OF THE POWER OF FIRE.

This Arcanum teaches us that by means of transmutation we attain Final Liberation.

ESOTERIC MEANING OF THE ARCANUM:

This Arcanum No. 19 is the Arcanum of the Alliance. It represents the “CREATIVE FIRE,” the Philosophical Stone. To carry out the work of the Great Work, we must work with the Philosophical Stone.

The ancients adored the Sun under the symbolic figure of a BLACK STONE. THAT IS THE HELIOGABALA STONE! That is the Stone which we must lay as the foundation of the Temple. That Stone is Sex, represented by the Philosophical Stone, the Heliogabala Stone.

Without that Stone the ELIXIR OF LONG LIFE cannot be obtained. The two columns of the Temple, Jachin and Boaz, are Man and Woman, allied to work with the Philosophical Stone. Whoever finds the Philosophical Stone is transformed into a God.

Those who build upon the living Stone shall incarnate the Verb. Those who build upon sand shall fail, and their buildings shall fall into the Abyss. Those Sands are the Theories, the Dead Religions, etc., etc.

Arcanum 19 is the Arcanum of the “WORK OF THE SUN.” The Man and the Woman who take each other by the hand and the Sun shining over them indicate that this Arcanum is related to the Mystery of Fire. The Sexual aspect of this Arcanum we find in its Kabbalistic sum: 1 + 9 = 10; this is a profoundly sexual number; there is the Circle and the Line, the mysteries of the Lingam-Yoni; only through Sexual Transmutation is Self-realization possible; this is the sacred alliance between Man and Woman for the Magnum Opus.

Meditating upon the Saints of the Medieval Epoch, I could verify that those Saints, although celibate, had in other lives worked in the Ninth Sphere; they had developed the Sacred Fire through the Sahaja Maithuna.

Analyzing the life of Saint Philip, we find that he, feeling love for the Divinal, falls to the floor, and upon rising up touches with his hand a swelling in his chest. He examines it and discovers that a swelling has formed upon his heart; he feels that the Sacred Fire of the Holy Spirit consumes him. After his death it is discovered that the artery which goes from the heart to the lungs has a greater thickness; nevertheless he lived until old age, and could tell at what hour he was going to disincarnate. There is no doubt that he had the Sacred Fire from the practice of Maithuna in previous lives.

Catherine of Bourbon was an extraordinary mystic; in life she manifested as such. When she died, they buried her without a coffin, and on people passing by her grave they noticed that a great fragrance issued forth and that many sick persons were healed. The priests took her out to bury her properly; after some months she was incorrupt and gave off a fragrance; they kept her on exhibition; the corpse had a hemorrhage from the nose, perspired and gave off perfume; they seated her in a chair in a chapel in Italy, and she opened her eyes and remained incorrupt.

One of the proofs that someone has attained the INTIMATE SELF-REALIZATION of the Being, says the Tao, is that of preserving the body incorrupt and giving off perfume.

When the Akasha, causa causorum of the Ether and basic principle of the Tattvas, concentrates in the sexual organs, then it is the psychic basis of the blood; and the pure Akasha is the nourishment of those Mystics. They take said substance to the blood and can live without eating. There are initiates who can live naked in the snow and without eating; to attain this an extraordinary concentration is needed.

Catherine of Siena said that she felt herself within the Christ, nourishing herself with his blood. The relation of the Akasha with the Blood and of the Blood with the Akasha is tremendous. The Mystics concentrated upon the blood of the Christ and attracted all the pure Akasha; for this a tremendous concentration is needed, and one must have transformed the energies.

In the epoch of gallantry, in the Renaissance, in those times of wigs, crinolines, purple coats, beautiful dances, gorgeous carriages — then indeed man knew how to appreciate woman and to sacrifice himself for her. Man was capable of any sacrifice for his lady; he knew how to appreciate her, and had no objection even to giving his life. There is no doubt that there were abuses, but man knew how to see, in that epoch, all his ideals in woman.

In the twentieth century man has forgotten the Sexual Mysteries; the male has lost the sense of Moral Value; humanity is in decadence.

The Anima-Essence is scattered among all the entities of the “Ego,” but when it is being dissolved the Seminal Pearl is being formed; when the Ego is destroyed, the Golden Embryo is formed; then the Immortal Principles enter into man — but the matter is Sexual. Much was intuited in other times of what the Creative Energy is.

The Human Being currently is no more than a Legion of Devils, full of intimate contradictions. The only value we have is the Essence, scattered among the I’s.

”

He examines it and discovers that a swelling has formed upon his heart; he feels that the Sacred Fire of the Holy Spirit consumes him.

Chapter 21: ARCANUM 20, “THE RESURRECTION”

DESCRIPTION OF THE CARD:

In the Waters of Life a column, symbol of edification; the base of the column is the Cubic Stone. Of the two columns, the White and the Black, only the White has remained, symbol of PURIFICATION.

In the middle a mummy, and from it escapes a Hawk with a human head which flies toward the Worlds of the Spirit; it represents the Soul. It is indubitable that upon AWAKENING CONSCIOUSNESS we are transformed into Hawks with human heads, able to fly freely through starry space.

Above the head of the hawk and the mummy, a symbol representative of the Pineal gland — sign of Illumination.

The Soul of any Egyptian Hierophant has Four Bodies:

• THE MUMMY.

• THE KA (ASTRAL BODY).

• THE BA (MENTAL BODY).

• THE KU (CAUSAL BODY).

Woe to those who, after arriving at the SECOND BIRTH, continue alive! They shall transform themselves de facto into Hanasmussen (abortions of the Divine Mother Kundalini) with a Double Center of Gravity.

ESOTERIC MEANING OF THE ARCANUM:

Arcanum 20 is the Resurrection. In order for there to be Resurrection, there must previously be Death; without it there is no Resurrection.

How beautiful it is to die from instant to instant! … ONLY WITH DEATH DOES THE NEW COME!

We need to die from moment to moment if in truth we wish to individualize ourselves. The Pluralized I excludes all Individuality. In no way can there be Individuality where multiple entities (I’s) coexist, which quarrel among themselves and which originate in us varied psychological contradictions.

When Seth (the Ego) dies in integral form, only the Being remains in us — that which gives us authentic Individuality.

When Seth disintegrates totally, then the Consciousness, the Soul, is liberated, awakens radically, and Inner Illumination comes.

Truly, the RESURRECTION OF THE SOUL is possible only by means of the Cosmic Initiation. Human beings are “dead” and can only resurrect by means of Initiation. Let us remember the words of Jesus, the Great Kabir: “Let the dead bury their dead.” (MATTHEW 8:22). “God is not the God of the dead but of the living.” (MATTHEW 22:23-32).

Just as there exist Three basic Types of Energy — Masculine, Feminine, Neutral — so likewise there exist Three Types of Resurrection:

• SPIRITUAL RESURRECTION.

• RESURRECTION WITH THE BODY OF LIBERATION.

• RESURRECTION WITH THE PHYSICAL BODY.

No one can pass through the 2nd or 3rd type of Resurrection without first having passed through the Spiritual Resurrection.

• SPIRITUAL RESURRECTION: This is attained with Initiation. We must first Resurrect Spiritually in Fire and afterward with Light. That is, we first raise the 7 Serpents of Fire and afterward the 7 Serpents of Light, attaining the Venustic Initiation and the Spiritual Resurrection.

• RESURRECTION WITH THE BODY OF LIBERATION: This is realized in the Superior Worlds. This body is organized with the best atoms of the physical Body. It is a body of flesh which does not come from Adam; it is a body of indescribable beauty.

With this Body of Paradise the Adepts can enter into the Physical World and work in it, making themselves visible and tangible at will.

• RESURRECTION WITH THE PHYSICAL BODY: On the third day the Initiate in the Astral Body comes before his Holy Sepulchre, accompanied by the Divine Hierarchies. The Initiate invokes his body, and the latter, with the help of the Divine Hierarchies, rises up, penetrating into Hyperspace. Thus it is that he succeeds in escaping from the burial place.

In the Suprasensible Worlds of Hyperspace, the holy women treat the body of the initiate with drugs and aromatic ointments. Obeying supreme orders, the Physical Body then penetrates within the Astral Body through the top of the head. Thus it is that the Master regains possession of his Physical Body. This is the Gift of Cupid. After the Resurrection the Master NO LONGER DIES; he is eternal. With that Immortal Body they can appear and disappear instantaneously; they make themselves visible in the Physical World at will.

Jesus, the Christ, is a resurrected Master who had his Physical Body three days in the Holy Sepulchre. After the Resurrection Jesus appeared before the disciples of Emmaus on the way, and supped with them. Afterward before Thomas the incredulous, who only believed when he put his finger into the wounds of the Holy Body of the Great Master.

Hermes, Cagliostro, Paracelsus, Nicolas Flamel, Quetzalcoatl, Saint Germain, Babaji, etc., preserve their Physical Bodies from thousands or millions of years without death being able to prevail against them. These are Resurrected Masters.

Only with the Arcanum A.Z.F. can the Elixir of Long Life be elaborated; without the Elixir of Long Life Resurrection is impossible.

”

When Seth disintegrates totally, then the Consciousness, the Soul, is liberated, awakens radically, and Inner Illumination comes.

Chapter 22: ARCANUM 21, “TRANSMUTATION”

DESCRIPTION OF THE CARD:

In the upper part we find the Black Moon and the White Moon, the antitheses.

In the middle a Magician with the STAFF OF THE PATRIARCHS in one hand and the Ansate Cross or Tao in the other hand; he stands upon a crocodile which opens its jaws, waiting to devour him.

THE CROCODILE IS SETH, SATAN, THE “PSYCHOLOGICAL I,” the Myself, always lying in wait for him who lets himself fall, in order to devour him. The Magician valiantly grasps the Tao Cross (the Arcanum A.Z.F.) to defend himself.

The Magician is covered with a tiger skin. Indubitably the Dog and the Tiger are esoterically associated in the same work of the Mystical Death. The Dog is the Sexual Fire, the Erotic Instinct found at the very root of our seminal system. The Tiger is different, and this the “Tiger Knights” know — those jaguars who fight against the Ego, who as authentic felines of Revolutionary Psychology have launched themselves against themselves, against their own psychological defects. Truly the Sagacity and Ferocity of the Tiger are needed in order to kill the Human Personality and to make the Dragon of Wisdom of 7 Serpents — symbols of the Decapitated One — shine resplendently in man.

ESOTERIC MEANING OF THE ARCANUM:

Arcanum No. 21 has been confused with Arcanum No. 22, which is the Crown of Life. ARCANUM NO. 21 IS THE “FOOL OF THE TAROT,” or “Transmutation.” The Kabbalistic sum gives us 2 + 1 = 3. In this Arcanum 21 the Initiate must struggle against the “3” Traitors of Hiram Abiff: the Demon of Desire, the Demon of the Mind, and the Demon of Ill Will.

ONE IS NEVER IN GREATER DANGER OF BEING A DEMON THAN WHEN ONE IS CLOSEST TO BEING AN ANGEL.

Every Initiate who lets himself fall is truly the Fool of the Tarot. When the Alchemist spills the Vase of Hermes, he becomes de facto the Fool of the Tarot, “Foolishness.”

It is necessary to annihilate Desire if we wish to avoid the danger of falling. He who wishes to annihilate Desire must discover its causes. The causes of Desire are found in the Sensations. We live in a world of sensations, and we need to understand them. There are five types:

• VISUAL SENSATIONS.

• AUDITORY SENSATIONS.

• OLFACTORY SENSATIONS.

• GUSTATORY SENSATIONS.

• SENSATIONS OF TOUCH.

The Five special Types of Sensations transform themselves into Desire. We must not condemn the Sensations, we must not justify them; we need to comprehend them profoundly.

Only by comprehending the Sensations do we kill Desire. Only by annihilating Desire is the Mind liberated, which normally is bottled up within the bottle of Desire. By liberating the Mind, the Awakening of the Consciousness is produced. If we wish to put an end to the causes of Desire, we need to live in a State of constant Vigilance. It is urgent to live in a State of Alert Perception, Alert Novelty. The I is a great book, a book of many tomes. Only by means of the technique of Internal Meditation can we study that Book.

”

Truly the Sagacity and Ferocity of the Tiger are needed in order to kill the Human Personality and to make the Dragon of Wisdom of 7 Serpents — symbols of the Decapitated One — shine resplendently in man.

Chapter 23: ARCANUM 22, “THE RETURN”

DESCRIPTION OF THE CARD:

In the Waters of Life the Swastika Cross, symbolizing the four-petaled Muladhara Chakra.

A woman who represents the Truth, playing a harp, is plucking the Sexual Lyre of 9 strings until she finds the key note. In the upper part the 4 Gods of Death: Mestha, Hapi, Duamutef, and Kebhsenuf — representing the 4 elements Earth, Water, Fire, and Air. The 4 mysterious animals of Sexual Alchemy. Above the 4 Gods of Death we find the Sacred Serpent who illuminates the Sphere of Ra granted to the Osirian Adept, Son of the Light.

ESOTERIC MEANING OF THE ARCANUM:

Arcanum No. 22 is the Crown of Life, the return to the Light, the incarnation of Truth within us.

BELOVED DISCIPLES, you need to develop each of the 22 Major Arcana of the Tarot within yourselves. You are “Imitatus” — that is, he whom others have placed upon the Path on the Razor’s Edge. Make every effort to arrive at “Adeptus”; this is the product of his own works, he who conquers the Science by himself, the Son of his own Work.

ONE MUST CONQUER THE DEGREE OF ADEPTUS BY GOING OUT FROM THE ANIMAL STATE, ACQUIRING CONSCIOUSNESS.

Gnosis teaches three stages through which everyone who works in the Blazing Forge of Vulcan must pass; these are:

• PURIFICATION.

• ILLUMINATION.

• PERFECTION.

It happens that the curious who enter into our Gnostic Studies want ILLUMINATION immediately — Out-of-body experiences, Clairvoyance, Practical Magic, etc. And when they do not attain this immediately, they withdraw.

No one can arrive at Illumination without having first purified himself; only those who have attained Purification, Holiness, can enter into the hall of Illumination. There also exist many students who enter into our studies out of pure curiosity and who want to be wise immediately. Paul of Tarsus says: “We speak Wisdom among those who are perfect.” Only those who have reached the Third Stage are Perfect; only among them can one speak Divine Wisdom.

In ancient Pharaonic Egypt, within Occult Masonry, these three stages of the path are:

• APPRENTICES.

• FELLOWS.

• MASTERS.

The candidates remained in the grade of Apprentices for seven years and even more; only when the Hierophants were completely sure of the PURIFICATION AND HOLINESS of the candidate could they then pass to the second stage. Truly only after seven years of Apprenticeship does Illumination begin.

The Crown of Life is our Resplendent Dragon of Wisdom, the “Inner Christ.” From the Ain Soph, the Interior Atomic Star which has always smiled upon us, the Holy Trinity emanates.

1 (MONAD) + 3 (TRINITY) = 4 (TETRAGRAMMATON).

Arcanum 22 summed Kabbalistically gives us:

2 + 2 = 4 (TETRAGRAMMATON).

The result is the Holy Four, the mysterious Tetragrammaton, the IOD-HE-VAU-HE; Man, Woman, Fire, and Water; Man, Woman, Phallus, and Uterus. Now we shall understand why Arcanum 22 is the CROWN OF LIFE.

The Apocalypse says: “Do not be at all afraid of the things you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; you shall have tribulation ten days. BE FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH, AND I WILL GIVE THEE THE CROWN OF LIFE.” (REVELATION 2:10).

The prison is the PRISON OF SORROW, and the 10 days are the tribulations while you are submitted to the Wheel of Returns and Karma.

He who receives the Crown of Life is liberated from the Wheel of Returns, Recurrence, and Karma.

The Crown of Life is Triune; it has three aspects:

• THE ANCIENT OF DAYS.

• THE ADORABLE SON.

• THE MOST WISE HOLY SPIRIT.

The CROWN OF LIFE is the Sun-Man, the Sun-King so celebrated by the Emperor Julian. The CROWN OF LIFE is our incessant Eternal Breath, for itself profoundly unknown — the Particular Ray of each man, the Christ. The Crown of Life is Kether, Chokmah, and Binah (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).

He who is faithful unto death receives THE CROWN OF LIFE.

At the Banquet of the Lamb the faces of all those Saints who have Incarnated him shine like suns of love. The immaculate white tablecloth is dyed with the royal blood of the Sacrificial Lamb.

“He who has ears, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Church. He who overcomes shall not be harmed by the Second Death.” (REVELATION 2:11).

He who does not overcome shall divorce himself from the Beloved and shall sink into the Abyss. Those who enter into the Abyss shall pass through the Second Death. The Demons of the Abyss go on disintegrating slowly through many eternities. Those Souls are lost. He who overcomes shall not be harmed by the Second Death.

When we receive the Crown of Life, the Word is made flesh in each of us.

Every Saint who attains the Venustic Initiation receives the Crown of Life.

Our most beloved Savior Jesus Christ attained the Venustic Initiation in the Jordan.

“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 1:14).

“THE LIGHT CAME INTO THE DARKNESS, BUT THE DARKNESS DID NOT KNOW IT.” (JOHN 3:19).

He is the Savior, because he brought us the Crown of Life and gave his blood for us.

We need to arrive at the Supreme Annihilation of the I in order to receive the Crown of Life. We need to resurrect the Lamb within us. We need the EASTER OF RESURRECTION.

The CROWN OF LIFE is our incessant Eternal Breath, for itself profoundly unknown — the Particular Ray of each man, the Christ.

Chapter 24: SECOND PART

Arcanum No. 1

Arcanum No. 1 is the MAGICIAN OF KABBALAH; it is obvious that this is that which begins. Anything that is initiated in practical life is Arcanum No. 1 — it is THE UNITY.

It is easy to comprehend that every beginning is difficult; one must work hard; one must sow in order to be able to reap. For this reason in Arcanum No. 1 lies the Unity of the Original Principle. Origin, of course, of all Unity, because everything begins with No. 1.

Unity comes to be the origin of Duality or of the Binary: 1 + 1 = 2; lastly, in that Unity lies the realizing synthesis of the Ternary. Unity, the “1,” is the Divine Monad, THE FIRST LOGOS, IS THE FATHER WHO IS IN SECRET, and each one has his own individual Monad.

Madame Blavatsky used to say that “there are as many Fathers in Heaven as men upon Earth.” The Father in turn — or by himself — unfolds into the Divine Mother; thus He and She are Brahma, because she comes to be the feminine aspect of him. Then we see how Unity is the root of the Binary, since the latter would not exist without Unity.

If the Monad did not exist, the DIVINE MOTHER would not exist. The Monad is the root of Duality. There are as many mothers in Heaven as men upon Earth; each one has his Inner God or his own particular Father and Celestial Mother. With this clarification, it is better understood why Unity is the realizing Synthesis of the Ternary, and how and why it is produced.

When Jesus prayed, he prayed to the FATHER WHO IS IN SECRET, and he left us a prayer which is the Our Father; this prayer is a hundred percent magical. It takes a couple of hours to pray an Our Father well, because each petition made to the Father is one hundred percent Magical. The error of the people is in praying it mechanically, and this has no result. That prayer must be broken down, analyzed, and for this one must relax the body so that no muscle is in tension; then concentrate, combining PRAYER WITH MEDITATION.

People think that the Father Who Art in Heaven is a Lord who is seated there. If we reflect profoundly, we discover the Monad, the No. 1, the origin of all the other Unities or Monads. Naturally the Monad needs something in life in order to Self-realize. What is it that the Monad needs? We shall ascertain it in the light of Sanskrit; she needs “Vajrasattva”; its meaning is Diamond Soul. This is a Soul that has no “I,” that has eliminated all the Subjective Elements of the Perceptions; and these elements are the I’s and the Three Traitors of Hiram Abiff — or, what is the same, Judas, the Demon of Desire, mistakenly called Astral Body; Pilate, the Demon of the Mind, which is confused with the Mental Body; and Caiaphas, the Demon of Ill Will. Why is it that all this is unknown to the PSEUDO-ESOTERIC SCHOOLS?

THE SUBJECTIVE ELEMENTS OF THE PERCEPTIONS ARE THE AGGREGATES, THE DIFFERENT COMPONENTS OF THE HUMAN BEING, OR THE DIFFERENT RED DEMONS WHICH CONSTITUTE THE I’S.

The Subjective Elements of the Perceptions, in Psychology, are defined as all the psychological processes of the human entity, defined as subjective processes of the: Unconscious, Sub-Conscious, Pre-Conscious, Infra-Conscious; and everything which is of a metaphysical type.

What do Modern Psychologists understand by Objective? The physical, the tangible, the material.

Naturally they are Totally mistaken; for, analyzing the term Subjective signifies: Sub = below — that which is below the limits of Our perceptions. And what is that which is below? Are not the Inferior Worlds? Is not the Subjective that which is in the Physical and below the Physical? “This is the truly Subjective, that which is below the limits of our perceptions.”

Psychologists do not know how to use that term correctly.

• OBJECTIVE: It is the Light, the Resplendent; it is something that has Truth, Clarity, Lucidity.

• SUBJECTIVE: It is the Dark, the Tenebrous. The Subjective Elements of the Perceptions come from: “Seeing,” “Hearing,” “Touching,” “Smelling,” “Tasting.” All this is perceptions of what we see in the Third Dimension; for example, in a cube we only see length, width, and height, and the Fourth Dimension we do not see, because we are bottled up by the Ego. The Subjective Elements of the Perceptions are constituted by the Ego, with all its I’s.

Unity, the Father, unfolds himself into the Mother. In turn the Mother unfolds, giving origin to the Son which she carries in her bosom.

• OSIRIS — THE FATHER.

• ISIS — THE MOTHER.

• HORUS — DIVINE SPIRIT, THE INNERMOST OF EACH BEING.

Unity is the realizing Synthesis of the TERNARY.

It is said in the Book of the Dead of the Egyptians that Ra granted to Horus, the child whom the Divine Mother carries in her arms, the Region of “Buto.” This region is that of the Pure Spirit — that is, of Atman-Buddhi-Manas.

SETH transformed himself into a Black Boar which struck the “Eye of Horus,” and he complained to Ra. “I shall heal you,” said Ra; and to console him gave him the Region of Buto. This is clarified in the following way: “One must kill the Black Boar; thus the Eye of Horus is restored — that is, Clairvoyance is restored.”

HORUS can put an end to the Black Boar, but he alone cannot; rather he must ask the help of the Divine Mother. By eliminating the Black Boar, Horus triumphs, and the Essence which was bottled up is liberated, fusing itself with Horus, with the Diamond Soul; she unites with her Father and Mother; they are Three Flames which come to form One sole Realized Flame. The Essence is an unfolding of Horus; one must ask Horus to strengthen our Three Brains. As the Ego dies, Horus goes on strengthening himself, and for this reason one must ask him to strengthen these Three Brains.

When Horus has swallowed the Essence, he needs the Solar Bodies, and there remains a Germinal Atom of each of the bodies.

• SOLAR PHYSICAL BODY.

• SOLAR ASTRAL BODY — FULL CONSCIOUSNESS.

• SOLAR MENTAL BODY — FULL KNOWLEDGE.

• BODY OF THE CONSCIOUS WILL.

Man is man; and the smaller and more microscopic one feels oneself, the better. We men must think that we are ants. GOD IS GOD BECAUSE THE DIVINITY IS THE ONE WHO HAS POWER; WE ARE NOBODY, WE ARE POOR DEVILS; and even man — being complete Man — is an ant compared with God.

A Master said to me: “V.M. SAMAEL AUN WEOR, true happiness is to have God within. Even though one be in the Absolute or in Nirvana, if one does not have God within, one would not be happy — although those who live there already have him incarnated.” Those words made a tremendous impact upon me, and I went to consult the Great Sage Saturn; I gave him several Esoteric greetings, and he answered all of them, but said that “There is no greater greeting than that of the Seal of the Heart.”

There was no need to speak; in silence he answered everything, saying that “Even in the Absolute, if one does not have God within, one is not happy.” That answer left me satisfied. Such consultations cost money, and I paid with capital of good actions, which are metallic coins that represent Dharma.

Synthesis

THIS ARCANUM, THE MAGICIAN, REPRESENTS MAN. IT IS THE MASCULINE PRINCIPLE.

The No. 1 signifies that which begins, that which commences.

In the Tarot is contained the whole work; there all the psychic processes develop.

UNITY IS THE REALIZING SYNTHESIS OF THE TERNARY.

While we do not know ourselves, nothing can be known of Soul and Spirit.

The four conditions which are needed in order to be a Magician are the following:

• TO KNOW HOW TO SUFFER.

• TO KNOW HOW TO KEEP SILENT.

• TO KNOW HOW TO ABSTAIN.

• TO KNOW HOW TO DIE.

Arcanum No. 2

The 2 is Negative. In ancient times in the Temples there was a PRIEST and a PRIESTESS. In Primitive Masonry there was a Master and a Mistress. The Count Cagliostro attempted to found EGYPTIAN MASONRY in England, but he had many enemies and established two thrones. Giovanni Papini knew the Count Cagliostro on a ship; they became friends, and he told him who he was; he wished to prevent the Second World War, and as they did not heed him he returned again to Tibet, saying that he would come back 60 years later.

EGYPTIAN MASONRY was magnificent; in ancient times when the Sacred Hermaphrodites existed, the 1 and the 2 were fused. In the Polar Epoch, when the First Protoplasmic Race existed, humanity was Androgynous; then sexual reproduction was verified at certain times of the year; one divided in two; that two was the child.

In that epoch when someone was born, a ritual was performed; human beings could lengthen themselves or shrink themselves to the size of an atom. When a Master wished to speak in sweet form he put the Feminine Principle afloat; when he wished to demonstrate his rigidity, the Masculine Principle came to the fore. Thus are the ELOHIM.

The Latin tradition tells how Aeneas presented himself at the Sanctuary of Apollo (Aeneid Book IV) and had an interview with the Pythoness, who prophesied to him what awaited him. Aeneas requested to see his dead father; he requested entry into the Underworld. The terrible Sybil, custodian of the forests of HECATE PROSERPINE (third aspect of the Divine Mother), the forests of Avernus, answered him: “Easy is the descent into Avernus; but to return to the earth is the difficult thing — few have been able to attain it.”

She asked him to procure a bough whose leaves and stems are of gold, consecrated to Proserpine, the Divine Mother in her infernal aspect. Aeneas sacrificed some black sheep; then he saw “Two doves” that flew; the Hero recognized in them the birds of his Divine Mother (symbol of the Holy Spirit); he interpreted this message intelligently; the birds led him to the forest of Proserpine as far as the branch which would permit him entry to the Underworld. Aeneas sacrificed four black cows, and the Sybil led him through Avernus to where his deceased father was.

The MASCULINE AND FEMININE Principles are conjugated in the Holy and Mysterious Tetragrammaton, esoteric name which must not be pronounced in vain, and which is related to the letters of the Name of the Eternal One in Hebrew: HE VAU HE IOD (Hebrew symbols which are read in reverse).

• IOD: ETERNAL MASCULINE PRINCIPLE.

• HE: ETERNAL FEMININE PRINCIPLE.

• VAU: MASCULINE PHALLIC PRINCIPLE; THE LINGAM.

• HE: FEMININE PRINCIPLE, THE UTERUS; THE YONI.

• IOD HE VAU HE IS REDUCED TO SSSSSSssssssss.

Those four letters are in themselves of immense SACERDOTAL power. One must pronounce them like the howling of a cyclone among the mountains, or imitating the wind. One pronounces them softly when one wishes TO HEAL A SICK PERSON or to invoke a Deity; they also serve for meditating. In those four letters are represented the Two Principles: Feminine and Masculine of the Macrocosmos and Microcosmos: the Staff, Masculine Principle, and the Chalice, Feminine Principle. In those four letters lies the Principle of the Eternal One which must not be pronounced in vain.

The Number “2” is vital; in the Temples of Mysteries “2” Altars cannot be lacking. One cannot pass to the Temple without passing the Two Columns where there are TWO GUARDIANS.

What would the Great Life be without the Number “2”? The Matripadma receives the Fohat, Masculine ray, the Holy Spirit, the spouse of the Divine Mother; she is fecundated and the Universe comes.

What would life be without the other principle? Before the dawn of the Mahamanvantara, the Cosmic Day, nothing existed; the Gods lived in That which has no name, no form, no sound, no silence, nor ears to perceive it.

When life dawned, when the Aurora of Creation came, the First Logos called the Third Logos and said to him: “Go and Fecundate your Spouse so that existence may sprout forth.” And he began to work with the Seven Spirits before the throne and the Army of the Voice, and the Masonic Rituals were realized; the Chaotic Matter was made fecund; the Matripadma, fecundated, brought into existence the Universe. Each of the Seven Cosmocrators emanated from himself the two Souls: Buddhi, Feminine Soul; and Causal, Masculine Soul — symbolized by the CONSTELLATION OF PISCES.

These two Souls, Spouse and Spouse, practiced a Transcendental Maithuna; she separated the Superior Waters from the Inferior so that they might be fecundated by Fire, and they projected them by means of the Verb. The germs of the Matripadma proliferated; she swelled like a Lotus Flower and bore fruit — a Cosmos was born.

In Electricity is the Eternal Positive and the Eternal Negative. In India the Masculine Principle is represented by a Bull, and the Feminine Principle by the Sacred White Cow which represents the Divine Mother, and which has its antithesis in the Black Cow.

We need to CHRISTIFY OURSELVES. No human being can return to the Father without having been devoured by the Serpent. No one can be devoured by her without having worked in the Blazing Forge of Vulcan (Sex). The key to Christification is the Arcanum A.Z.F. The Mantram of the Great Arcanum is I.A.O.

• I: IGNIS FIRE.

• A: AQUA WATER.

• O: ORIGO PRINCIPLE, SPIRIT.

To the Blazing Forge of Vulcan descend: Mars to retemper his sword and conquer the heart of Venus; Hercules to clean the Augean Stables with the Sacred Fire; and Perseus to cut off the head of the Medusa.

Remember, beloved disciples, that our Divine Mother is Nuit, and her word is “56.” This number breaks down Kabbalistically thus:

5 + 6 = 11, then 1 + 1 = 2. One is the Father, two is She, Nuit, the Divine MOTHER KUNDALINI. Here is the marvel of the number “2.”

Synthesis

Woman is the ATHANOR of SEXUAL ALCHEMY. Man went out of Paradise through the GATES OF EDEN, and Eden is Sex itself.

THE GATE OF PARADISE IS SEX. THE WOMAN IS THE GATE.

The “Kundalini” is the Sacred Fire of the Holy Spirit; it is the Fire of Pentecost; it is the Igneous “Serpent” of our Magical Powers.

Kundalini is enclosed within the Muladhara Chakra situated in the coccyx.

The secret to awakening Kundalini is the following: “Introduce the virile member into the woman’s vagina and withdraw it without spilling the semen.” This practice shall be done slowly.

The Arcanum A.Z.F., Sexual Magic, or Maithuna, can only be practiced between HUSBAND AND WIFE IN LEGITIMATELY CONSTITUTED HOMES.

The practice of the Arcanum must be performed only once a day; if it is practiced twice a day, one falls into the negative, violating the Magnetic Recuperative Pause.

Arcanum No. 3

In KABBALAH everything is Number and Mathematics. The Number is holy, infinite; in the Universe everything is measure and weight. God is a Geometer for the Gnostics. Mathematics are sacred; in the School of Pythagoras no one was admitted who did not know Mathematics, Music, etc. Numbers are sacred.

The SEPHER YETZIRAH, the most ancient sacred Hebraic book of the rabbis, describes in marvelous form all the splendors of the world and the extraordinary play of the Sephiroth in God and in man through 32 Paths of Wisdom. In the Mystery of the Sexes is hidden all the Science of the Sephiroth. In the Science of Numbers is the secret key of the Sepher Yetzirah; anyone would think of 32 paths; in reality the 32 Paths of Wisdom equals “3 + 2 = 5” — equals the Five-pointed Star, the Pentalpha; that is, Man. This means that the Paths are in Man; within ourselves is everything. It is spoken in very symbolic form, and for this reason 32 Paths are mentioned.

The Kabbalists say that the Soul truly has three aspects:

• NEPHESH — THE ANIMAL SOUL.

• RUACH — THE THINKING SOUL.

• NESHAMAH — THE SPIRITUAL SOUL.

The substratum of these three aspects of the Soul are the Sephiroth; these are atomic.

• NEPHESH: One must distinguish between the Astral Body and the Lunar Bodies; the latter move during the night and after death; these bodies have been conventionally called the Astral Body but it is not legitimate. He who wishes to give himself the luxury of having one must perform the work of the Maithuna, in which the H-SI-12 is fabricated (H = Hydrogen; Si = Musical Note; 12 = 12 Laws), which vibrates in our organism with the musical scale; if the practice is intensive, it crystallizes into the SOLAR ASTRAL BODY.

It falls to the initiate to descend into the Inferior Worlds for 40 days, and he must recapitulate all the evil deeds and frightful dramas of past reincarnations; little by little he emerges from those tenebrous regions. Before leaving, the three Souls — Nephesh, Ruach, and Neshamah — are submitted to tests. How interesting it is to see the Animal Soul submitted to test, likewise the Thinking Soul and the Essence, which is also submitted to test.

The Bible says: “Nephesh, Nephesh, blood is paid with blood.” Through Hebrew words Wisdom is concealed.

• RUACH: It is the Thinking Soul, Emotional, which is enclosed within Lunar Bodies of Desire.

• NESHAMAH: That which is of Soul enclosed within the previously mentioned principles is submitted to very difficult tests. When the initiate triumphs, he afterwards ascends to the Causal World to have an interview with Sanat Kumara — a Venerable Elder named in the most ancient religions, who is one of the Four Thrones spoken of in the Bible; three departed and only one remained. He grasps the Rod of Aaron, the Scepter of Kings; he is ineffable; he is related with SATTVA, RAJAS, AND TAMAS, the Three Gunas in equilibrium. Sanat Kumara gives the Esoteric Initiation of the Solar Astral Body.

Synthesis

Our disciples must learn to go out in the Astral Body in order to visit all the White Lodges of the world, where they can converse personally with the Christ and with all the Masters of the White Lodge.

The Atoms of Laziness are a grave obstacle to progress toward the Superior Worlds.

THE GREAT LAW IS RETURN OF LIFE TO THE SUPERIOR WORLDS.

Pray and Meditate intensely. The Divine Mother teaches her children. Prayer must be made by combining Meditation with Sleep. Then, as in a dream vision, Illumination arises. The Divine Mother comes to the devotee in order to instruct him in the Great Mysteries.

Arcanum No. 4

Arcanum No. 4 is very interesting; it refers to the Cross of Four Points, the Cubic Stone, which is the foundation of the Great Work — the one that must be chiseled.

Speaking of the School of the Fourth Way, we find that Gurdjieff, Ouspensky, and Nicoll have expounded what they know, but the exposition suffers from many defects; for example, Gurdjieff commits the error of confusing the KUNDALINI with the abominable KUNDARTIGUATOR Organ, and Ouspensky commits the same error. We cannot fail to recognize that there is that Blind Fohatic Force which has the people hypnotized, but it has nothing to do with the Kundalini; the Kundartiguator is the Lunar Fire.

The Bible speaks of the 44 Fires, but one can only speak of Two Great Fires: Kundalini and Kundartiguator. The first is the Pentecostal Fire, the Ray of Vulcan ascending along the Spinal Column, the Positive Fire which crystallizes into Worlds and Suns. Its antithesis is the Kundartiguator, the Negative Fire which crystallizes into those Psychological Aggregates — those shouting and quarreling I’s which we bear within; they are negative crystallizations which keep the people sunk in unconsciousness.

Gurdjieff also commits the error of not speaking anything about the Lunar Bodies which all the people have, and only says that the Being must be transformed and the Solar Bodies fabricated.

Ouspensky speaks of the Second Birth, but his teachings are incomplete. First the Solar Bodies are fabricated in the Ninth Sphere, attaining the Second Birth; but neither Gurdjieff nor Ouspensky give the key.

The School of the Fourth Way is very ancient; it comes from the Archaic lands; it is the foundation of the Great Mysteries; it is found alive in Gnosticism, in the religions of the Egyptians, Lemurians, Atlanteans, Phoenicians, etc.

One must traverse the Path by this Fourth Way; we must march with equilibrium in SCIENCE, PHILOSOPHY, ART, AND RELIGION.

Formerly, in the scenic art, the individual was educated in his Three Brains — Motor, Emotional, Intellectual; today in the Schools only the Intellectual Brain is informed; for this reason the sickly states of the Mind and neurosis occur. By balancing the Three Brains, mental imbalances are avoided.

Science is contained in all the Cosmos; it exists even if the Sciences did not exist.

Arcanum 4 of the Tarot is the Holy and Mysterious TETRAGRAMMATON. The Sacred name of the Eternal has 4 letters: IOD, HE, VAU, HE.

They are the 4 words which lead us to the Ninth Sphere, to Sex, to the Forge of the Cyclops, to the famous BLAZING FORGE OF VULCAN, in order to raise the Sacred Serpent of our Magical Powers and lead her to the heart, receiving the Sacred Cross of Initiation in the Temple of the Divine Mother.

The number 4 also represents the 4 Physical Elements and the 4 Elements of Alchemy.

The ancient Alchemists used to say that Sulfur must fecundate the Mercury of Secret Philosophy so that Salt may be regenerated — that is, Fire must fecundate Water so that man may regenerate, Self-realize.

Also in this Arcanum we find the secret of the Sphinxes; it reminds us of the Four Sacred Animals of Sexual Alchemy:

• LION: LION’S CLAWS — CONCEALS THE ENIGMA OF FIRE.

• MAN: WATER — FACE OF MAN.

• EAGLE: AIR — WINGS OF THE SPHINX — SPIRIT.

• BULL: EARTH — REAR LEGS — TENACITY.

These are the representative values of the Sphinx, the Four Elements of Solar Alchemy. WE NEED THE TENACITY OF THE BULL AND THE WINGS OF THE SPIRIT.

The Sphinx speaks to us of the Great Work which is realized with the Four Elements. On a certain occasion I had an interview with the Elemental of the Sphinx; he is a marvelous Elemental; he had his feet full of mud; he blessed me, and I said to him: “Now I understand why your feet are full of mud — because of this Age of Kali Yuga.”

The entry to the ancient Archaic Temples was customarily through a hole hidden in some mysterious place of the dense jungle. We left Eden through the gate of Sex, and only through that gate can we return to Eden. Eden is Sex itself; it is the narrow, straight, and difficult gate which leads to the Light.

In the solitude of those Mysterious Sanctuaries, the Neophytes were submitted to the 4 Initiatic Trials. The trials of Fire, Air, Water, and Earth always defined the various purifications of the neophytes.

The Neophytes are submitted to the 4 Initiatic Trials, which are verified in the Internal Worlds. Man is not yet king of Nature, but he is called to be so according to Melchizedek.

The disciple must be tested by the 4 Elements; in order to examine him, he is submitted to test in the 49 Regions of Thought.

These trials are for all, men and women. One can help oneself by having pure thoughts, but that is not all; Meditation is needed.

All students of Kabbalah must familiarize themselves with all the Elemental Creatures:

• AIR: SYLPHS.

• WATER: UNDINES AND NEREIDS.

• FIRE: SALAMANDERS.

• EARTH: GNOMES.

These Elements are used to work in the transmutation of lead into Gold upon the CENTRAL MOUNTAIN RANGE (Spinal Column).

In the words IOD-HE-VAU-HE we find the mystery of the Tetragrammaton (Holy 4), the Four Words, the Four Elements; more profoundly we find our Being, the MOST COMPLETE DIVINITY.

From the Ain Soph, which is a SUPER DIVINE Atom of each one of us, the Three Divinal Forces emanate — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — giving as their final synthesis 3 + 1 = 4. Tetragrammaton — (IOD-HE-VAU-HE). This being the Sacred summary of the number 4.

Synthesis

The Master is formed by Atman-Buddhi.

Atman is the Innermost.

Buddhi is the Divine Soul — that is, the Divine Consciousness of the Innermost.

When a Logos wishes to redeem a world, he emanates from himself a celestial prototype formed by Atman-Buddhi.

The Logos is the Sephirothic Crown; it is the Individual Ray, from which emanates the Innermost itself. That Ray is triune; it is the Most Holy Trinity within us.

Thus, every Logos is triune.

The Father is Kether, the Ancient of Days.

The Son is the Cosmic Christ in us.

The Holy Spirit is the Divine Mother in us.

The Mother carries a lamp in her hand. That lamp is the Innermost, who burns within our heart.

Arcanum No. 5

Arcanum 5 of the Tarot is the FLAMING PENTAGRAM, the Flaming Star. The Pentagram represents the Microcosmos-Man. From the esoteric point of view, we see that there is a struggle between Brain and Sex; if SEX CONQUERS THE BRAIN, the Five-pointed Star (Man) falls into the Abyss with feet upward and head downward; the human being is transformed into an entity of the Darkness. This is the inverted star — this is the goat of Mendes.

The goat represents Black Magic. A human figure with the head downward and the feet upward represents, naturally, a Demon.

All the Magical Power is found in the Five-pointed Star. In the Flaming Star is summed up all the Science of Gnosis. Many Bodhisattvas (Human Souls of Masters) fell like the inverted Five-pointed Star, with the upper ray downward and the two lower rays upward. One must become fully conscious of what a Bodhisattva is. The Superior Triad of every Immortal Spirit, of every man, is composed of Atman, Buddhi, and Manas.

• ATMAN: The Being, Immortal Divine Spark, has two Souls which in esotericism are called Buddhi and Manas.

• BUDDHI: Basic Principle, Feminine Spiritual Soul, Superlative Consciousness of the Being.

• MANAS: Masculine Human Soul.

The Master in himself is Atman, the Being, Buddhi, and Manas. When a Master comes to the world, he needs to take body; Atman sends Manas, his Human Soul, and he appears living in the Physical World; that is the one called Bodhisattva, and he carries out what he has to carry out. In addition, Buddhi can enter into her and she does what she has to do.

• ATMAN.

• BUDDHI — MANAS.

• WORLD.

Thus we have the case of the Master JEHOVAH, who sent his Bodhisattva to Chile. Currently he is a young man who is doing foolish things; the Master only waits for his Bodhisattva to mature in order to enter into him.

Jehovah is the regent of the ancient Moon; he is a Great Master whom they have intentionally confused with Yahweh, the Chief of the Black Lodge, who tempted Jesus offering him all the treasures of this world. Jesus answered, “Satan, Satan, thou shalt not tempt thy God.” Yahweh can be represented with the Five-pointed Star with feet upward.

A Bodhisattva who allows himself to fall becomes a Black Magician; if he does not rise up, he comes to a harder, more bitter incarnation; he suffers frightfully. If at the end of several increasingly difficult incarnations he does not rise up, he is sent to the Inferior Worlds, accused of three crimes:

• HAVING ASSASSINATED THE BUDDHA.

• HAVING DISHONORED THE GODS.

• FOR VARIOUS LESSER CRIMES.

Madame Blavatsky explains well what a Bodhisattva is, but her followers have not understood it.

In this epoch, the greater part of the Bodhisattvas are fallen, and they wander from life to life.

“WE MUST BE HUMBLE IN ORDER TO ATTAIN WISDOM AND AFTERWARD BE MORE HUMBLE.” Bodhisattvas fall through Sex and rise through Sex.

Sex is the Philosophical Stone. It would be impossible to decapitate the Medusa (the Satan we bear within) without the precious treasure of the Philosophical Stone. Remember that the Medusa is the Damsel of Evil (the Psychological I) whose head is covered with hissing vipers. In occult science it is said that the union of the Sophic Mercury with Sophic Sulfur produces the Holy Philosophical Stone. The Ens Seminis is the Mercury; the Sulfur is the Sacred Fire of Love.

APOLLO AND DIANA, MAN AND WOMAN, must work in the Magnum Opus, decapitating the Medusa, vanquishing the Tempting Serpent, killing the Nemean Lion, drawing out from Tartarus the Infernal Dog, Cerberus. They must work in the Great Work performing the Twelve Labors of Hercules.

Hercules (the Cosmic Christ), son of Jupiter (Io Pither) and of Alcmena, performed the 12 Labors:

• CAPTURE AND DEATH OF THE NEMEAN LION (the Force of uncontrolled Instincts and Passions which lays waste to and devours everything).

• DESTRUCTION OF THE HYDRA OF LERNA (the Psychological Defects in the Sub-Conscious).

• CAPTURE OF THE CERYNEIAN HIND AND THE ERYMANTHIAN BOAR (the Lower Animal Passions).

• CLEANSING THE STABLES OF AUGEAS (submerged Sub-Conscious depths).

• KILLING WITH ARROWS THE BIRDS OF LAKE STYMPHALIA (Witchcraft-like Psychic Aggregates of the Unconscious depths).

• CAPTURE OF THE CRETAN BULL (Sexual, Passionate, Unreflective Impulses, Infrahuman Elements).

• CAPTURE OF THE MARES OF DIOMEDES (Infrahuman Passionate Elements, profoundly submerged in our own Unconscious Abysses).

• ELIMINATING THE THIEF CACUS (the Bad Thief who plunders the Sexual Center to satisfy his animal-like passions).

• CONQUEST OF THE GIRDLE OF HIPPOLYTA (Feminine Psychic Aspect of our own Inner Nature).

• CONQUEST OF THE HERD OF GERYON (related to Detachment).

• THEFT OF THE APPLES OF THE GARDEN OF THE HESPERIDES (the Tree of the Science of Good and Evil).

• DRAWING THE TRI-CEPHALIC DOG FROM ITS PLUTONIAN DOMAIN (the Guide Dog, the Sexual Instinct).

Hercules, the Instructor of the World, every time he comes must perform the same — a work of complete pacification; the COSMIC CHRIST PRACTICES WHAT HE PREACHES. From a young age the Tenebrous Serpents of Evil come to attack him — the persecution of Herod, etc.

The Cosmic Christ does not demand but what he himself practices; he is the Master of all Masters; he performs his works of Purification and Dissolution of the I, of the Ego.

In Mythology one speaks of the efforts of the “Snitches,” trying to bring the stone to the summit, and said stone falls back again — that is, the effort of the students who spill the Ens Seminis.

Arcanum No. 5 is the LAW; this Arcanum represents the “Karma” of the Initiate. We must know that Karma, in last synthesis, serves so that in flesh and bone we may live the entire Drama of the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ.

It is necessary that the people understand what the Sanskrit word “Karma” is. My friends, there exists a Law called Karma; it is not amiss to assert that such a word signifies in itself, Law of Action and Consequence. Obviously “THERE IS NO CAUSE WITHOUT EFFECT, NOR EFFECT WITHOUT CAUSE.”

THE LAW OF THE BALANCE, THE TERRIBLE LAW OF KARMA, governs all that is created. Every cause is transformed into effect, and every effect is transformed into cause.

You must comprehend what the Law of Compensation is. Everything done must be paid for, for there is no cause without effect, nor effect without cause.

We have been given freedom, free will; we may do what we wish; but it is clear that we must answer before God for all our acts. Any act of our life, good or evil, has its consequences. The Law of Action and Consequence governs the course of our various existences, and each life is the result of the prior one.

Comprehending integrally the bases and “modus operandi” of the Law of KARMA is indispensable for orienting the ship of our life in a positive and edifying way through the various scales of life.

Karma is a Law of Compensation, not of vengeance. There are those who confuse this Cosmic Law with determinism and even with fatalism, believing that everything that happens to man in life is determined inexorably beforehand. It is true that man’s acts are determined by Heredity, Education, and the Environment. But it is also true that man has free will and can modify his acts: educate his character, form superior habits, combat weaknesses, fortify virtues, etc.

“Karma is a medicine applied to us for our own good.” Unfortunately, instead of bowing reverently before the Eternal Living God, people protest, blaspheme, justify themselves, make foolish excuses, and wash their hands as Pilate did. With such protests Karma is not modified; on the contrary, it becomes harder and more severe.

When one comes to this world, one brings one’s own destiny; some are born on a feather mattress and others in disgrace. If in our past existence we killed, now they kill us; if we wounded, now they wound us; if we stole, now they steal from us; and “with the rod with which we measured others, we shall be measured.”

We demand faithfulness from the spouse when we ourselves have been adulterers in this or in past lives. We ask for love when we have been pitiless and cruel. We solicit comprehension when we have never known how to comprehend anyone; when we have never learned to see the other’s point of view.

We yearn for immense joys when we have always been the origin of many sorrows. We would have wished to be born in a very beautiful home with many comforts, when in past existences we did not know how to give our children home and beauty.

We protest against those who insult us when we have always insulted all those around us. We want our children to obey us when we never knew how to obey our parents. Calumny disturbs us terribly when we ourselves were always slanderers and filled the world with sorrow. Gossip bothers us; we don’t want anyone to murmur against us; yet we always went about with gossip and rumors, speaking ill of our neighbor, embittering the lives of others. That is, we always demand what we have not given; in all our previous lives we were wicked and we deserve the worst — yet we suppose that we ought to be given the best.

Fortunately my dear friends, Justice and Mercy are the two main columns of the Universal White Brotherhood.

Justice without Mercy is Tyranny; Mercy without Justice is Tolerance, complacency with crime. KARMA IS NEGOTIABLE, and this is something that may surprise many followers of various orthodox schools greatly.

Certainly some pseudo-esotericists and pseudo-occultists have become too pessimistic in relation to the Law of Action and Consequence; they mistakenly suppose that this unfolds itself in mechanical, automatic, and cruel form. The erudite believe that it is not possible to alter such a law; I sincerely regret having to dissent from that form of thinking.

If the Law of Action and Consequence, if the Nemesis of Existence, were not negotiable, then where would Divine Mercy lie? Frankly I cannot accept cruelty in the Divinity. The Real, that which is all Perfection, that which has various names such as Tao, Aum, INRI, Sein, Allah, Brahma, God — or better said, Gods, etc., etc., etc. — could in no way be something without mercy, cruel, tyrannical, etc. For all this I repeat, emphatically, that Karma is negotiable.

It is possible to modify our own destiny, because “WHEN AN INFERIOR LAW IS TRANSCENDED BY A SUPERIOR LAW, THE SUPERIOR LAW WASHES THE INFERIOR LAW.”

By modifying the cause, the effect is modified. “The Lion of the Law is combated with the Balance.” If on one pan of the Balance we put our good works and on the other we put the bad, both pans will weigh equally or there will be some imbalance. If the pan of the Bad Actions weighs more, we must put good works on the pan of Good Actions in order to tip the Balance in our favor; thus we cancel Karma. “Do good works that you may pay your debts.” REMEMBER THAT ONE DOES NOT ONLY PAY WITH SORROW; ONE CAN ALSO PAY BY DOING GOOD.

Now you will understand, my good friends, how marvelous it is to do good; there is no doubt that Right Thinking, Right Feeling, and Right Acting are the best of business.

WE MUST NEVER PROTEST AGAINST KARMA; THE IMPORTANT THING IS TO KNOW HOW TO NEGOTIATE IT. Unfortunately, the only thing that occurs to people when they find themselves in great bitterness is to wash their hands as Pilate did, to say that they have done nothing wrong, that they are not guilty, that they are just Souls, etc., etc., etc.

I tell those who are in misery to review their conduct, to judge themselves, to sit, even for an instant, on the bench of the accused; after a brief analysis of themselves, to modify their conduct. If those who are without work would make themselves chaste, infinitely charitable, peaceful, helpful one hundred percent, it is obvious that they would radically alter the cause of their disgrace, modifying in consequence the effect.

It is not possible to alter an effect if first the cause that produced it has not been radically modified, for as we have already said, there is no effect without cause nor cause without effect.

One must always work disinterestedly with infinite Love for humanity; thus we alter those Bad Causes that originated the Bad Effects. There is no doubt that misery has its causes in drunkenness, repulsive lust, violence, adultery, squandering, and avarice, etc., etc.

Do you wish to heal? Heal others. Are some of your relatives in jail? Work for the liberty of others. Are you hungry? Share the bread with those who are worse off than you, etc.

Many persons who suffer remember only their bitterness, wishing to remedy them; but they do not remember the suffering of others; they do not even remotely think of remedying the necessities of their neighbor. This egoistic state of their existence serves for nothing; in this way the only thing they really achieve is to aggravate their sufferings.

If such persons would think about others, about serving their fellows, about giving food to the hungry, drink to the thirsty, clothing to the naked, teaching to the ignorant, etc., it is clear that they would place Good Actions on the pan of the Cosmic Balance to tip it in their favor; thus they would alter their destiny, and good fortune would come to their favor. That is, all their necessities would be remedied; but the people are very egoistic, and that is why they suffer; no one remembers God nor their fellows, except when they are in desperation, and this is something that everyone has been able to verify for himself; thus is humanity.

Unfortunately, my dear friends, that ego which each one bears within does exactly the opposite of what we are here saying; for this motive I consider it urgent, unpostponable, indispensable, to reduce the Myself to cosmic dust.

Let us think for a moment of the Humanoid multitudes that people the face of the Earth. They suffer the unspeakable, victims of their own errors; without the Ego they would not have those errors, nor would they suffer their consequences.

The only thing that is required in order to have the right to True Happiness is, above all, not to have an Ego. Truly when there do not exist within us the Psychic Aggregates, the Inhuman Elements which make us so horrible and malicious, there is no Karma to pay, and the result is Happiness.

It is good to know also that when we have RADICALLY ELIMINATED THE EGO, the possibility of committing offense is annihilated, and consequently KARMA CAN BE PARDONED.

The Law of Karma, the Law of the Cosmic Balance, is not a blind Law; one can also solicit Credit from the Masters of Karma — and this is something many are unaware of. However, it is urgent to know that every credit must be paid with good works, and if it is not paid, then the Law collects it with supreme sorrow. We need to make ourselves conscious of our own Karma, and this is only possible by means of the STATE OF ALERT NOVELTY. Every effect of life, every event, has its cause in a previous life; but we need to make ourselves conscious of this.

Every moment of joy or sorrow must be studied in Meditation with quiet Mind and in profound silence. The result is the experimentation of the same event in a previous life. Then we make ourselves conscious of the cause of the fact, whether it be agreeable or disagreeable.

He who awakens Consciousness can travel in his Internal Bodies outside of the Physical Body, at full conscious will, and study in the Temple of Anubis and his forty-two Judges his own Book of Destiny.

The Chief of the Priests of the Tribunal of Karma is the Great Master Anubis. The Temple of Anubis, the Supreme Regent of Karma, is found in the Molecular World, called by many the Astral World. In that Tribunal there reigns only the terror of Love and Justice. In it there exists a book with its debits and credits for each man, in which his good and bad actions are minutely noted daily. The good ones are represented by rare coins which the Masters accumulate for the benefit of the men and women who execute them. In that Tribunal there are also Defense Attorneys. But everything is paid for. Nothing is obtained as a gift. “He who has good works pays and comes out well in his business.” The credits requested are paid with disinterested works inspired by Love toward those who suffer.

The Masters of Karma are Judges of Consciousness who live in a State of Jinas. We must constantly do good works so that we may have with what to pay our debts of this and past lives. All the acts of man are governed by Laws, some Superior, others Inferior. In Love are summed up all the Superior Laws. An act of Love annuls past acts inspired by Inferior Laws. For this reason, speaking of Love, the Master Paul says: “Love is patient, kind; envies not, is not puffed up; does not insult, does not seek its own; is not provoked, does not rejoice in injustice, but rejoices in truth; believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”

When they officiate as Judges, the Masters of Karma use the Sacred Mask in the form of the head of a Jackal or Plumed Wolf, and with it they appear to Initiates in the Internal Worlds. That is the cruelty of the Law of Love.

Negotiating with the Lords of the Law is possible through Meditation: Pray, Meditate, and concentrate upon Anubis, the most exalted Regent of the Good Law.

“FOR THE UNWORTHY ALL THE DOORS ARE CLOSED EXCEPT ONE: THAT OF REPENTANCE. ASK AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN; KNOCK AND IT SHALL BE OPENED.”

Synthesis

Not only does one pay Karma for the evil one does, but also for the good one fails to do when one could have done it.

Each bad action is a promissory note which we sign to pay in the subsequent life.

“When an Inferior Law is transcended by a Superior, the Superior Law washes the Inferior Law.”

Let no one deceive himself; what man sows, that shall he reap, and his works will follow him.

The Lords of Karma in the Tribunals of Objective Justice judge Souls by works, by concrete, clear, and definitive facts, and not by good intentions.

The results are always those that speak; it serves nothing to have good intentions if the deeds are disastrous.

During the Initiatic Esoteric processes of Fire, I had to comprehend in full form the following postulates:

“THE LION OF THE LAW IS COMBATED WITH THE BALANCE.”

“HE WHO HAS CAPITAL TO PAY WITH, PAYS AND COMES OUT WELL IN BUSINESS.”

“HE WHO HAS NOTHING WITH WHICH TO PAY, MUST PAY WITH SORROW.”

“DO GOOD WORKS THAT YOU MAY PAY YOUR DEBTS.”

Arcanum No. 6

Arcanum No. 6 is expressed by the SEAL OF SOLOMON. The Star of Bethlehem is the Seal of Solomon. The six points of the Star are Masculine. The six deep inlets formed between point and point are Feminine (in sum, this Star has 12 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 Star of Christmas, is the perfect symbol of the Central Sun (the Cosmic Christ, Perfect Multiple Unity). Never can the Child God be born in the Heart of Man without the resplendence and life of the brilliant STAR OF CHRISTMAS. One must work with the Arcanum A.Z.F. in order to be able to incarnate him.

In the Seal of Solomon are summed up all the Zodiacal Measures; the 12 Rays of the brilliant Star crystallize, through Alchemy, in the 12 Zodiacal Constellations. In the Seal of Solomon are written the intimate relations which exist between the Zodiac and the invincible Central Sun. The Sexual Genesis of the Zodiac is represented in the Seal of Solomon. The V.M. of the Light, Hilarius 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 or 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 liberates, and the power that executes.” “I am the resplendent Star of the morning,” 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 upon a point in space, instantly the glorious Star appears, announcing the birth of a new State of Consciousness, the Archetype of a Being, a globe, a planet, a Sun” (fourth message of the Avatara Ashrama).

In the Seal of Solomon, the upper triangle represents the Eternal Immortal Triad. The lower triangle represents the Three Traitors who are within us:

• DEMON OF DESIRE.

• DEMON OF THE MIND.

• DEMON OF ILL WILL.

They are the Three Evil Friends of Job. The three assassins of Hiram Abiff:

• JUDAS, CAIAPHAS, PILATE: CHRISTIAN SYMBOLOGY.

• APOPI, HAI, NEBT: EGYPTIAN SYMBOLOGY.

• SEBAL, ORTELUK, STOKIN: MASONIC SYMBOLOGY.

These Three Traitors live in the Mind; they are within us. Let us remember that Dante represents Lucifer at the center of the Earth with three mouths, and in each of his mouths there is a traitor.

The Bible cites these Three Traitors in the Apocalypse of (SAINT JOHN 16:13-14): “And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the Dragon, out of the mouth of the Beast, and out of the mouth of the False Prophet.”

These Three Spirits in the manner of frogs are the Traitors who betray the Inner Christ from moment to moment, and they constitute the foundation of the reincarnating Ego, the “Psychological I,” the Satan that must be dissolved in order to incarnate the Inner Christ.

At the center of the two triangles of the Seal of Solomon is the Tau Cross, or the Sign of the Infinite. Both signs are Phallic (Sexual). The Soul finds herself between the two triangles and must decide upon one or the other path — that of the Light or that of the Darkness, and the problem is absolutely sexual.

SACRED PHALLIC SYMBOLS:

The key is found in the Sacred Serpent, the Rooster which represents the I.A.O., the Verb, the Word. There exists the Tempting Serpent of Eden, which is the Serpent of the Darkness that forms that horrible tail of Satan; and there exists the Bronze Serpent of Moses entwined upon the Tau — that is, upon the Sexual Lingam — that which healed the Israelites in the desert. The Serpent slumbers coiled three and a half times in the Church of Ephesus; the Serpent must emerge from her Church in the Muladhara Chakra and ascend through the medullar canal to transform us into Angels; if she descends to the Atomic Hells of man, then we are transformed into Demons. Now you will comprehend why the Serpent of the Caduceus is always double.

When the student spills the semen during his practices with the Arcanum A.Z.F., he commits the crime of the Nicolaitans, who work with the Maithuna in the Ninth Sphere but spill the semen; they use that system to bring down the Serpent, hurling themselves into the Atomic Hells, forming the tail of Satan. Thus is how man is transformed into a Demon.

I remember Krumm Heller, who taught White Tantrism; but his son taught the Black — practices of the Maithuna with spilling and loss of the Seminal Liquor. The latter let himself be fascinated by that doctrine and was transformed into a Demon with tail and horns on his forehead. Many were the students who strayed because of the son of Krumm Heller; he was a sincerely mistaken one who departed from here saying that the Great Law had cast him out.

The Alchemical Wedding signifies the PERFECT MATRIMONY. The Alchemist must not only kill Desire but even the very shadow of the horrible tree of Desire. It will serve nothing to renounce sex without first working and manufacturing the Solar Bodies and arriving at the SECOND BIRTH — then indeed one renounces. One must first work with the Third Logos in the terrible Forge of the Cyclops, afterward work with the Second Logos, Hercules, and subsequently with the First Logos. The error of monks and nuns is to renounce sex without having manufactured the Solar Bodies; the result is that they find themselves in Limbo, dressed in rags. One must dress oneself with the Wedding Garment in order to be able to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

In the Mysteries of Eleusis, the couples danced in order to magnetize themselves mutually. One must imitate Nature in everything — that is, one must TRANSMUTE THE ENERGY. In the Temple of the Sphinx the Book of the Laws of Nature is studied; afterward comes a trial called of the Sanctuary, and upon passing it, the student is given a ring with the Seal of Solomon (which must never be touched with the left hand), which shines with great force in the Internal Worlds.

In the works of High Magic one must trace a magic circle which must be closed with the Seal of Solomon.

Medallions and rings of the Seal of Solomon can be made with the 7 metals. The Seal of Solomon must be used in all works of invocation and in practices with the Elementals. The Elementals of Nature tremble before the Seal of the living God. The Angel of the Sixth Seal of the Apocalypse is now reincarnated in a feminine body (HE IS A SPECIALIST IN THE SACRED SCIENCE OF THE JINAS).

The Bible in (REVELATION 7:1-3) says: “And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD (the Seal of Solomon); and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels (the 4 Archivists of Karma who control with the Law the four cardinal points of the Earth), to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, saying: Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.”

Time was needed for people to study the Doctrine of the Christ and to define themselves for Christ or for Yahweh, for the White Lodge or for the Black Lodge.

The Servants of God have already been sealed on their foreheads. The Servants of Satan have also been sealed on their foreheads (the mark of the Beast).

THE END TIMES HAVE ALREADY COME, AND WE ARE IN THEM. THE “TEN DAYS” HAVE ALREADY EXPIRED (the Wheel of the Centuries, Arcanum No. 10).

With the Seal of the Living God humanity is classified. The majority have already received the mark of the beast upon their foreheads and upon their hands. A few have received the sign of the Lamb upon their foreheads.

Synthesis

We have entered into the world of Will and Love.

To enter into the amphitheater of Cosmic Science, one must steal the Fire from the Devil.

THE LOVER MUST STEAL THE LIGHT FROM THE DARKNESS.

One must practice Sexual Magic intensely with the woman.

One must reconquer the Flaming Sword of Eden.

Arcanum No. 7

The No. 7 represents magical power in all its strength. The Holy Seven is the Sanctum Regnum of Sacred Magic, of Esoteric High Magic in Kabbalah, the Chariot of War.

The No. 7 is the Innermost — that is, our Real Being, served by all the Elemental Forces of Nature. Nature is a great living organism; in last synthesis this great machine is directed by Elemental Forces.

The Sacred Fire from the physical point of view is produced by combustion; nevertheless, in itself from the essential point of view, there can exist the Elemental Fire, the Fire of the Sages; and within that Elemental Fire live the Salamanders. Franz Hartmann in his book “The Elementals” describes them. The Esotericists know that there exist the Elementals and the Elemental Gods of Fire. If we look at Mayan, Aztec Angelology, etc., we shall find the Gods of Fire. The Elemental Fire of the Sages exists in all Nature.

Air in last synthesis is Elemental. The Tattva Vayu, the Elemental Principle of Air, is animated by Elemental Creatures or Sylphs, of whom the Kabbalists speak; that Elemental Air of the Sages is in reality Ether in movement. The Physicists say that wind is air in movement, but the Occultists see that in that Air in movement there exist forces which impel it — and those are the Sylphs.

Water has an Elemental Principle, the Tattva Apas; in that principle, in that base, in that substance, we find the Undines, Nereids, Nymphs; whoever has studied the classical Latin or ancient works will find in them the Elementals of the Waters.

The Element Earth is governed by certain Elemental Creatures, and it is in the Tattva Prithvi that the Gnomes or Pygmies of Kabbalah are contained.

Fire is transformed into Air, Air into Water, and Water into Earth. The Tattvas help us in the transmutation of lead into Gold through the Caduceus of Mercury.

• TATTVAS — ELEMENTS.

• AKASHA — PRINCIPLE OF ETHER.

• VAYU — PRINCIPLE OF AIR.

• TEJAS — PRINCIPLE OF FIRE.

• PRITHVI — PRINCIPLE OF EARTH.

• APAS — PRINCIPLE OF WATER.

This first order mentioned is in accordance with Rama Prasad; the TRUE order is:

• TATTVAS — ELEMENTS.

• AKASHA — PRINCIPLE OF ETHER.

• TEJAS — PRINCIPLE OF FIRE.

• VAYU — PRINCIPLE OF AIR.

• APAS — PRINCIPLE OF WATER.

• PRITHVI — PRINCIPLE OF EARTH.

The first thing in Creation is the Infinite Space, which is a Great Soul. There arises the Fire which is transformed into Air; the Air into Water and the Water into Earth, and the Worlds appear; this is the true order of the Elements; the Innermost is Divine Spirit; he is the Chief of all the Elemental Forces.

Everyone who works with the Arcanum A.Z.F. receives the Flaming Sword; this Sword corresponds to Arcanum No. 7 of Kabbalah.

The Guardians of the ancient Temples of Mysteries use the Flaming Sword, and he who has awakened the Kundalini receives it. In Occult Masonry the sword is used; one receives it with the advent of the Fire. From the point of view of Occult Masonry, the Flaming Sword is the result of incessant transmutations.

The Elohim or Prahapatis bear their Flaming Sword; those Elohim are Divine, and an Elohim without the Sword would be inconceivable. We know that the Sexual Organs constitute the legitimate Sanctum Laboratorium of the Third Logos; they are the creative organs of the Flaming Sword.

The 22 Arcana fundamentally belong to the Ninth Sphere. The Amphitheater of Eternal Sapience is in the Creative Organs, since all life issues from there. In the Garden of Pleasures of Alchemy we find the word VITRIOL, which is found in the treatises of Alchemy and ancient treatises of Kabbalah.

This word is an acrostic derived from the phrase: “Visita Interiore Terrae Rectificando Invenies Occultum Lapidem” (Visit the interior of our Earth; by rectifying you shall find the Hidden Stone).

We must seek within the interior of our Philosophical Earth (the human organism); rectifying and working with the Arcanum A.Z.F., the Maithuna, we shall find the Philosophical Stone.

The Sun (Phallus), Masculine Principle, is the Father of the Stone. The Moon (Uterus), Feminine Principle, is the Mother of the Philosophical Stone. The Wind (Seminal Vapors) carried the Son in its bosom, and the Earth nourished him; it is related with the Four Elements, which are living manifestations of the Akasha.

The Sun and the Moon, the Masculine and Feminine Principles, combine within the Chalice (the Brain), which rests upon the Caduceus of Mercury with the two cords of Ida and Pingala.

The two influences which act with the Raw Stone — to which we must give perfect cubic form — are one of masculine character and the other of feminine character.

The Human Being has Seven Bodies; each body has its Spinal Medulla and its Sacred Serpent.

The Seven Bodies of Man are the following:

• PHYSICAL BODY.

• ASTRAL BODY OR BODY OF DESIRES.

• MENTAL BODY.

• CAUSAL BODY.

• BODY OF THE WILL.

• BODY OF THE CONSCIOUSNESS.

• BODY OF THE INNERMOST.

We have Seven Serpents, two groups of three, with the sublime crowning of the Seventh Tongue of Fire which unites us with the One, with the Law, with the Father.

The entire work is performed with the Great Arcanum. The Seven-Pointed Star is the vital, inseparable part of the VITRIOL, of that work with the Maithuna. The Seven Serpents of Alchemy are related with the 7 Planets, the Seven Great Cosmic Realizations, and the Seven Degrees of the Power of Fire. The acrostic VITRIOL with its 7 letters and its 7 words symbolizes all of the Great Work; they give the 7 Secret Words pronounced by the Solar Logos on Calvary. The Mysteries of Arcanum 7 are terribly divine.

In the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City there is an Aztec sculpture in the form of a decapitated man; in place of the head there are 7 Serpents which represent the Seven Degrees of the Power of Fire. The Seven Serpents (a phallic figure) are related with the 7 Planets, the 7 basic fundamental Dimensions, the 7 Vowels I.E.O.U.A.M.S. which resound in Nature, with the 7 words of VITRIOL. All this is related with the Law of Heptaparaparshinokh — this is the Law of the Eternal Seven, the ineffable Cosmic Law.

An esoteric Kabbalistic symbol is the Seven-Pointed Star, surrounded by a double circle, with the signs of the 7 Planets; it is a powerful talisman. The two circles represent the Eternal Masculine and Feminine Principles.

Those students of occultism who think they can realize themselves without the Arcanum A.Z.F. are absolutely mistaken. Madame Blavatsky, after having written the 6 volumes of the Secret Doctrine, says that those who wish to know the Mysteries of Chiram must seek the Ancient Alchemists.

She was in Agartha. She renounced Nirvana in order to attain the Venustic Initiation; she is now Twice Born, possesses the Solar Bodies, lives in the Sacred Monasteries, and will return to this world that is more bitter than gall; she prepares to take body in the United States, in New York. The great Mistress was a true Yogini, disciple of Kuthumi; and nevertheless, after having been widowed of Count Blavatsky, she married Colonel Olcott in order to work with the Arcanum of Sexual Magic. Only thus did she succeed in realizing herself thoroughly.

The Great Yogi-Avatar, Lord Lahiri Mahasaya, was called to Initiation by the immortal Babaji when he already had a wife; thus the Yogi-Avatar realized himself. In Hindustan, Sexual Magic is known by the Sanskrit term Urdhvaratus. THE AUTHENTIC YOGIS PRACTICE SEXUAL MAGIC WITH THEIR SPOUSES.

There are two classes of Brahmacharya (sexual abstention): Solar and Lunar. The Solar is for those who have realized the Second Birth; and the Lunar is that absurd sexual abstention which serves only to occasion repugnant nocturnal pollutions, with all their nefarious consequences.

There are seven vices which we must transmute:

• SOLAR PRIDE: INTO FAITH, INTO HUMILITY.

• LUNAR AVARICE: INTO ALTRUISM.

• VENUSIAN LUST: INTO CHASTITY.

• MARTIAN ANGER: INTO LOVE.

• MERCURIAN LAZINESS: INTO DILIGENCE.

• SATURNIAN GLUTTONY: INTO TEMPERANCE.

• JUPITERIAN ENVY: INTO JOY FOR THE GOOD OF OTHERS.

Only with the Science of Transmutations can we disintegrate the Defects and dissolve the Psychological I. Only with the Science of Transmutations can we modify our errors, transmute the vile metals into Pure Gold, and govern. Work with the Arcanum A.Z.F. so that you may receive the Sword. Arcanum 7 “The Triumph” is attained through great struggles and bitterness. We see this in the Seven Capital Sins which we must transmute into Seven Virtues — the transmutation of the 7 Inferior Metals into Pure Gold.

The Governors of the Seven Planets are:

The Seven Kabbalistic Signs of the Planets are:

• MOON: GLOBE CUT BY TWO HALF-MOONS.

• MERCURY: A CADUCEUS AND THE DOG-HEADED CYNOCEPHALUS.

• VENUS: SEXUAL LINGAM.

• SUN: SERPENT WITH LION’S HEAD.

• MARS: DRAGON BITING THE GUARDS OF A SWORD.

• JUPITER: PENTAGRAM OR THE EAGLE’S BEAK.

• SATURN: LAME OLD MAN OR A STONE WITH A COILED SERPENT.

The Seven Talismans have the power to attract the Seven Planetary Forces. With stones and metals, perfect talismans can be prepared.

Synthesis

THE OUR FATHER IS THE MOST PERFECT PRAYER. AMONG THE MAGICAL PRAYERS IS THE OUR FATHER, WITH ITS SEVEN ESOTERIC PETITIONS. ONE MUST MEDITATE UPON EACH PETITION.

He who wishes to be a Magician must obtain the Sword.

The Sword is the Kundalini. The Sword is the Fire of the Holy Spirit.

One must Work with the Arcanum A.Z.F. to obtain the Sword. The struggle is terrible.

THE WARRIOR CAN ONLY LIBERATE HIMSELF FROM THE FOUR BODIES OF SIN BY MEANS OF THE ARCANUM A.Z.F.

We gain nothing by filling our heads with theories.

It is better to love a good woman and practice Sexual Magic with her every day, than to waste time with polemics, intellectualism, and theories.

Thus we acquire the Sword of the Kundalini, and we awaken all of our Magical Powers, to enter through the gates of the Triumphant City.

Arcanum No. 8

In Arcanum 8 we find the EIGHTH KEY OF BASIL VALENTINE. There is no doubt that he was a great Gnostic. The Gospel of Valentinus is admirable; the Eighth Key refers to the processes of Life and of Death in the Philosophical Stone, chiseled with the hammer of Intelligence and the chisel of Will.

The Eighth Key is an Alchemical, clear, and perfect allegory of the processes of Death and Resurrection which inevitably follow one another in the esoteric preparation of the Philosophical Stone which is between the columns Jachin and Boaz. One must polish the raw stone in order to transform it into the cubic stone.

THE STONE IS PETER, and it refers to the blessed Waters of the Amrita. In the perfect edges and angles of the Stone we see the man who worked with the Amrita. The Raw Stone and the chiseled one are situated at the entrance of the Temple, behind the columns. THE CHISELED STONE is on the right hand; its particularity is that it has “Nine Angles” forming “FOUR CROSSES.” Those who erect the Temple upon sands fail; one must erect it upon the Living Rock, upon the Stone. All human material employed in this work dies, rots, corrupts, and blackens in the Philosophical Egg; afterward it whitens marvelously.

That is, within us the Black dies, and then the White appears, which makes us Masters. Let us recall for a moment the work in the Ninth Sphere, the Dissolution of the I. Let us recall the work of the Purgatorial Region; the Initiates there appear like cadavers in putrefaction, because all those Larvae which are within us come to the surface, giving the Initiate’s Bodies the appearance of a decomposing corpse.

In the Eighth Key, an illustration from the Viridarium Chymicum, Death is represented by a cadaver, Putrefaction by horns, Sowing by a humble farmer, Growth by a spike of wheat, and Resurrection by a dead person who rises from the sepulchre and by an Angel who blows the trumpet of the Final Judgment.

All this represents that within us “the Ego,” the Myself, must die, until we remain White, Pure, Clean, Perfect. Putrefaction is when one is within the Purgatorial Region — represented by the horns; there appears a cadaver in putrefaction, with repulsive animal-like forms, reptiles, spiders, filthy worms, horrible larvae. WITH THE HELP OF THE DIVINE MOTHER KUNDALINI, THOSE ANIMAL-LIKE FORMS ARE REDUCED TO COSMIC DUST.

After the Seeds of the Ego have been incinerated through the Purification of the rotting in the Purgatory, the Initiate bathes in the rivers Lethe and Eunoe, his Bodies shining marvelously. Then he must be confirmed in the Sex-Light, and afterward comes the Initiatic Resurrection, represented by the Angel who blows the trumpet. Jesus, after his Resurrection, instructed his disciples for many years.

The interesting thing is that all that putrefaction is effected in the Philosophical Egg (Sex). One is confirmed by the Light in the Eighth Key of Basil Valentine. After attaining the SECOND BIRTH, Sex is forbidden, and it is said to the Master: “You cannot return to work in the Ninth Sphere, because then the I would resurrect and you have been freed from it; your esoteric tests have ended, and Sex is forbidden to you for all Eternity.” Sex is the lowest part of Initiation; if we wish to arrive at Illumination, at Self-realization, we must tear the Veil of Isis, which is the Adamic Sexual Veil.

In the Philosophical Egg (Sex), which represents the germ of all life, is contained all the work of the Great Work. The Masculine-Feminine Sexual Principles are contained in the Egg. Just as the chick comes out of the egg; just as from the Golden Egg of Brahma the Universe comes forth, so likewise from the Philosophical Egg the Master comes forth. FOR THIS REASON IT IS SAID THAT THEY ARE CHILDREN OF THE STONES, AND CULT IS RENDERED TO THE STONES.

We Gnostics know that the cadaver, the Death of the Eighth Key, represents the Two Witnesses of the Apocalypse (11:3-6), who are now dead. By means of the Alchemical Putrefaction, represented by the horns, by means of the works of Alchemy, the TWO WITNESSES resurrect. All the power is enclosed in the Spike of Wheat. The Sacred Angel which we bear within blows his trumpet, and the Two Witnesses rise up from the sepulchre. The Two Witnesses are a pair of sympathetic cords, semi-etheric, semi-physical, which entwine themselves about the Spinal Medulla forming the Caduceus of Mercury, the Sacred Eight, the sign of the Infinite, and which are known in the East as Ida and Pingala.

The Eight is the Number of Job, the man of Holy Patience. This number represents the life and sacrifice of Job, which is the path the Initiate takes as far as the Second Birth. The tests are very hard; we need the Patience of the Saint Job; without it, it is impossible to perform that Work.

Job suffered a grave illness (Chapter 2, verse 9); Lazarus’s flesh rotted (LUKE 16:19-31). Job’s friends, Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar (the Three Traitors of the Inner Christ), said to him: “If you are a friend of God, why do you not protest?” He said: “The Lord gave, the Lord has taken away” (1:21). The Number of Job is Patience and Meekness; there is the path to “Rot ourselves.” It is attested by the original Bible, which includes the works of the Aeneid, Odyssey, and Maccabees; copies of said Bible are found in the Museum of London, in the Vatican, and in the Museum of Washington. The modern Bible is a cadaver. The Bible is an Arcanum; in Psalms, Chapter XIX, it treats of the Tarot.

In Arcanum No. 8 are contained the Initiatic Trials. Each Initiation, each grade, has its trials. The Initiatic Trials are increasingly demanding in accordance with the Initiatic Grade. The Number Eight is the Grade of Job; this sign, this number, signifies Trials and Sorrows. The Initiatic Trials are realized in the Superior Worlds and in the Physical World. The trials of Initiation are very terrible. A Great Patience is needed in order not to fall into the Abyss. We are tested many times.

Synthesis

When our disciples wish to ask aid from the Lords of Karma, they paint a Six-Pointed Star on the floor, open the arms in the form of a balance, and move them up and down, keeping the mind concentrated upon Anubis.

Then we can ask the Lords of Karma mentally for the desired service. As one moves the arms in the form of a balance, vocalize the syllables: NI, NE, NO, NU, NA.

Thus we can ask aid from the Lords of Karma in moments of necessity or danger. Every credit must be paid for.

Arcanum No. 9

This Arcanum is that of the Hermit; he is presented as an old man who carries a lamp in his right hand; this lamp must be raised in order to make light upon the Path; it must be lifted, raised on high to illuminate.

The Number Nine, if multiplied with any digit, always gives nine. Example:

2 x 9 = 18, 1 + 8 = 9.

4 x 9 = 36, 3 + 6 = 9.

5 x 9 = 45, 4 + 5 = 9.

This is very interesting. There exist 9 Infernal Circles within the interior of the Earth; from the epidermis of the Earth to the interior, one can say that there are NINE PARALLEL INFERNAL UNIVERSES which extend to the very heart of the Earth, with the Ninth Circle at the center of the Earth; these Nine Circles are the 9 Demoniac or Diabolic Regions. There also exist 9 Superior Circles which in occultism are denominated the 9 Heavens; those 9 Heavens we can represent with the 9 Planets:

When we refer, for example, to the Moon, we must not think of the physical satellite Moon. The Sub-Lunar Diabolic Region is not to be sought on the Moon, but in the interior of the Earth. Now we think of the Lunar Heaven; it does not mean precisely that it is of the Moon, but of the Superior Regions — that is, molecular regions which are Lunar and are governed by the Moon; it is a Lunar Molecular World which is found here in our world.

This FIRST LUNAR HEAVEN has its science; there are found the Souls who merit ascending to that region, because not all the disincarnates manage to arrive at this Heaven; the majority of the disincarnates return from the threshold to enter into the region of the dead and then penetrate into a new matrix; others enter into the submerged involution of the Nine Infernal Spheres.

One penetrates into the first Lunar Heaven as a rest; the Moon is related with Chastity, with Sex. There one can recall various errors committed with Sex.

There exists a grave problem; the Moon tends toward materiality; all the terrestrial mechanicity is controlled by the Moon. All of life on Earth, all terrestrial mechanics is controlled by the Moon; all that mechanical life in which we live is of the Lunar type.

The Moon, like a weight of a great clock, makes the terrestrial machinery move; the growth of vegetables, of animals, ovulation in woman, the flux and reflux of the seas, the high and low tides, etc., depend on the Moon.

Since life is so mechanistic, if one truly wishes to triumph one must take advantage of the Waxing Moon for our activities; also the Full Moon; if we use the Waning, we fail. The New Moon is very difficult, has no force.

If one wishes to triumph in some activity or in business, INEVITABLY ONE MUST TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE WAXING MOON AND THE FULL MOON. NEVER BEGIN A BUSINESS DURING THE WANING OR NEW MOON.

To control Lunar materiality, one must appeal to the vegetal perfumes of roses and violets. They must be used to control materiality, because the Moon exerts a materialistic influence upon the human Mind. For our misfortune, the Subjective Elements which we have within are controlled by the Moon.

The Soul of every living Being emanates from an atom, the Ain Soph; each one has his Ain Soph; this is a star that shines in infinite space, beyond the Nine Heavens; the Souls must return to their Star, to their Ain Soph; the return to their Star is something divine. The day they Self-realize, they will give themselves the luxury of returning to their Star. This was commented upon by Plato in his “Timaeus.” EVERY TRI-CEREBRATED BIPED NEEDS TO MAKE, FABRICATE, THE BUTTERFLY IN ORDER TO RETURN TO THAT STAR.

The Nine Heavens are in intimate concordance, they correspond with the 9 Infernal Circles; in total we have that:

NINE HEAVENS + NINE INFERNAL CIRCLES = 18.

1 + 8 = 9, THE NUMBER OF THE MASTER, OF THE INITIATE.

We need to Self-realize in the 18 Circles; an individual who has not Self-realized in the 18 Circles is not a Master.

In synthesis, to be the Perfect Nine is to unfold in the Eighteen Circles in order to be a Master.

ATMAN is the Divine Spirit (he is an emanation of the Logos), who has two Souls, Buddhi and Manas. To comprehend this is vital; in the Middle Ages when the medieval knight went out to fight for his lady, it is nothing more than the Human Soul fighting to conquer his Spiritual Soul.

I came to comprehend this when my Real Being took me to the Causal World, which is of an intense electric-blue color. The King, Atman, the Lord, seated himself at a table with a beautiful lady, his Spiritual Soul, his Beatrice, his Valkyrie; and with the Human Soul they seated themselves in a Triangle. Atman began to speak and said: “I HAVE TWO SOULS, THE SPIRITUAL SOUL AND THE HUMAN SOUL, AND WHILE THE HUMAN SOUL WORKS, THE SPIRITUAL SOUL PLAYS, LIVES HAPPILY. THIS IS MY DOCTRINE. THUS THE THREE OF US ARE ONE.”

Atman, Buddhi, and Manas, WE MET IN THE CAUSAL WORLD, IN THAT REGION OF CAUSES; WITHOUT THAT EXPERIENCE I COULD NOT EXPLAIN IN CLEAR FORM.

Atman unfolds into Buddhi, and Buddhi into Manas, as if seeing ourselves in a mirror; thus the Trinity is created. The Essence is an unfolding of the Superior Manas; that Essence in turn is bottled up in the “Ego.” The awakening of that Essence is to awaken Consciousness, to make oneself conscious of the Mysteries of Life and Death; many wish to awaken the consciousness, but at any moment they abandon the work, for which reason the Maithuna was not communicated to anyone without first awakening Consciousness. THE “CHRISTMAS MESSAGE 1968-69” BRINGS THE RUNES FOR THE AWAKENING OF CONSCIOUSNESS.

TO INCARNATE THE BEING, THE DIVINE TRIAD — THAT INDEED IS VERY DIFFICULT; the Solar Bodies must be manufactured. If the Being were to incarnate without having manufactured the Solar Bodies, the electric shock would not be tolerated; one would die.

To manufacture the Solar Bodies is vital; one must work in the Ninth Sphere; one must descend into the Forge of the Cyclops to work with the Water and the Fire. The Creative Energy is the Holy Spirit. Vulcan is the Third Logos, the Sexual Force; he is Shiva.

THE SACRED FIRE IS “SHE,” THE IGNEOUS SERPENT WHO ASCENDS THROUGH THE MEDULLAR CANAL; SHE IS MOTHER KUNDALINI. SHE WEDS HER HUSBAND IN THE PINEAL GLAND. THE THIRD LOGOS, THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE ETERNAL SPOUSE IS THE ONE WHO FECUNDATES THE DIVINE MOTHER KUNDALINI, THE ROOT OF THE MONAD MOTHER SPACE.

The Cosmic Seed-bed, the Matripadma, is the Deva Mater, is Chaotic Matter, the Mother Substance, the Prime Matter of the “Great Work” — that is the Mother Space. The Holy Spirit is the Third Logos which Fecundates her, who is latent in the Matripadma; without him she remains still, and with him she ignites, reverberates, swells.

THE FATHER IS THE FIRST LOGOS, THE SECOND IS THE SON AND THE THIRD THE HOLY SPIRIT. THESE THREE ASPECTS ARE BEHIND ATMA, BUDDHI, AND MANAS. FROM THE AIN SOPH EMANATES THE FATHER, FROM HIM THE SON, AND FROM HIM THE HOLY SPIRIT.

Those three Logoi is the TAO; it is Brahma, the Universal Spirit of Life, and beyond is the Absolute. Those three Logoi emanate from that Universal Ocean of Life; a wave that emerges may be ISHVARA, a Purusha who instructs, and once he has instructed, fuses into the Spirit of the Ocean.

The Absolute in itself has its three aspects, the Ain, the Ain Soph and the Ain Soph Aur; to speak of the Ain is difficult because it is the UNMANIFEST ABSOLUTE. In the Absolute there is no form, figure, number, or weight; when the Universe dissolves, only the recollection remains in the consciousness of the Gods, and with those recollections the Universe of Pleroma is formed — and if anything were to be drawn from there, it would no longer exist, for they are only recollections.

Synthesis

BY A SELF-REALIZED BEING IS UNDERSTOOD ONE WHO CREATED THE SOLAR BODIES AND WHO PUT AN END TO THE EGO.

ONE ONLY DESCENDS INTO THE ABYSS BY ORDER OF THE ANCIENT OF DAYS, AND IT WILL BE IN ORDER TO ASCEND.

Initiation is your life itself.

THE INNERMOST IS THE ONE WHO RECEIVES THE INITIATIONS.

Thus, Initiation has nothing to do with any of those fantastic stories which so abound in certain books.

Here nothing is given to us as a gift; everything has a cost. To him whom nothing is owed, nothing is paid.

Initiations are payments which the Logos makes to man when the disciple has sacrificed himself for humanity.

Those who concern themselves only with their spiritual progress, and who do not work for others, achieve absolutely nothing. He who wishes to progress must Sacrifice himself for others.

INITIATION IS LIFE ITSELF INTENSELY LIVED, WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS AND WITH LOVE.

Arcanum No. 10

Arcanum 10 of the Tarot is the WHEEL OF FORTUNE, the same Wheel of Samsara, the tragic wheel which symbolizes the LAW OF THE ANCIENT RETURN. One must differentiate between Return, Reincarnation, and Transmigration, which are completely different.

RETURN: The worlds return — the heavens, the stars, the four seasons — to their original point of life. Through the 108 lives of each human being — according to the 108 beads of Buddha’s necklace — the Ego Returns. When DISINCARNATION arrives, the Egos enter into the Inferior Worlds, and others return to a new matrix; the Ego is composed of many entities; some reincorporate themselves in vegetal or animal organisms, and others into human matrices, and the Ego comes to a new organism. Within these Egos returns the part of the Buddhata (Essence) bottled up, which is the Divine and substantial part. Indubitably many parts of us live in animal organisms.

On returning to this vale of tears, the same is repeated through the Law of Recurrence — that is, everything happens again just as in other lives. The Law of Return is intimately linked, associated with the Law of Recurrence — that is, everything happens again just as it occurred, plus its good or bad consequences; the same dramas repeat themselves; this is called Karma.

REINCARNATION: It is the descent of the Divinity into a Man. THE INCARNATION OF VISHNU INTO A MAN IS WHAT IS CALLED AN AVATAR.

Vishnu is properly Christ, the Solar Logos. For this reason in India they called reincarnation that which is performed by Vishnu. Krishna spoke of this saying: “Only the Devas reincarnate.”

TRANSMIGRATION: It is when the Being begins to form part of the Mineral Kingdom; he evolves to the Vegetable Kingdom after a long time, and subsequently through eternities ascends to the evolution of the Animal Kingdom, in order to afterward ascend to the Human State, where 108 lives are assigned to us. If at the end of 108 lives he has not Self-realized, involution begins in the Submerged Kingdoms of the planet Earth, recapitulating through the animal-like, vegetable-like, and mineral-like states.

In the depths of the Abyss, in the Atomic Hells of Nature, the Essence or BUDHATA is purified, is liberated from the Ego by its disintegration; and thus the Essence, free after eternities, again ascends, beginning anew with the Mineral Kingdom, then the Vegetable, the Animal, until it climbs to the Human State previously lost. THIS IS THE LAW OF THE TRANSMIGRATION OF SOULS.

Only by awakening Consciousness shall we know if we have already involved and begun again. All this of Return and Transmigration is of the Lunar type; only Reincarnation is Solar.

The Solar Forces depart from the Law of Return, from the Law of Recurrence; all this forms part of Arcanum No. 10. While we do not dissolve the Ego, we must continue returning.

TO LIBERATE ONESELF, ONE MUST “DIE”; THE DEATH OF THE EGO IS INDISPENSABLE; THEN ONE WILL CEASE TO “RETURN.”

If one studies the “Book of the Dead” of the Egyptians, it is Isis who is called to give death to the “Ego”; without the Divine Mother the death of the Ego is impossible. With the death of the Ego, the Essence is liberated and is lost in Osiris, the Divine Christ. The Essence resurrects in the heart of Osiris, where remains the affection, attachment to things; our desires — all of that will no longer exist.

We must die in order to liberate ourselves from the Tragic Wheel, and we must fry the seeds so that the Ego does not resurrect, and bathe in the waters of the Lethe and Eunoe, and be confirmed in the Light, kill Cain who is the Lunar Mind. This Mind does not serve; we must eliminate it, we must give it Death because it is the animal.

For this reason the ancients saw in the Moon the figure of Cain; the Mind is called Cain, and he was a hunter, and the Mind goes about hunting fortunes, social position, fame. This Mind is used by knaves to triumph; they feel themselves wise and powerful with that Lunar Animal Mind well cultivated.

There is a figure of a Decapitated Angel, the Angel of Samothrace; this sculpture signifies that after the “Ego” has been dissolved, after burning the seeds, having bathed and confirmed in the Light, etc., one must pass through the Decapitation. There remains the death of the Lunar Body and the Lunar Mind — these two bodies which form Cain are the two Subjective Elements which must be decapitated. Afterward only Osiris remains and the Essence which remains in the heart of Osiris; then one already has the right to bear the Asp (the Serpent) upon the forehead, and as the “Book of the Dead” says, “he can now seat himself as the other Osiris seat themselves, and bear the Serpent upon the forehead.” He already has the Verb; he has triumphed; he does not use his powers in egoistic form.

OSIRIS IS THE COSMIC CHRIST; an Osirified man already has the Cosmic Christ; he no longer has Subjective Elements; he has already liberated himself from that Tragic Wheel of Lives and Deaths in which is rooted the cause of Sorrow.

The most violent struggle to attain the elimination of the Ego is with the terrible Tempting Serpent which is the abominable Kundartiguator Organ, the tail of Satan; this is the horrible Python which Apollo wounded with his darts. She is the antithesis of the Divine Mother — dense and frightful matter which struggles against us.

While we are not within the “Ark of Isis,” we are of no use.

According to Egyptian Wisdom, Thoth is Hermes, and Hermes is Mercury, the Great Hierophant, the Minister, the Ambassador of the Solar Logos, the Great Instructor, the one who elevates us from Initiation to Initiation. But who is he within us? He is the “Ens Seminis.”

Only through the Great Death can we escape from that Great Wheel and from the Sorrow of this World, which is wholly transitory and painful. One must pass beyond the affections of our most beloved ones; this is something that costs effort.

This world is terribly painful; the only thing for which it is worth living is to Self-realize, because everything is vanity.

Synthesis

ONLY BY MEANS OF THE ARCANUM A.Z.F. ARE WE LIBERATED FROM THE WHEEL OF SAMSARA.

The Sephiroth form the body of Adam-Kadmon.

When man realizes himself thoroughly, he enters into the Kingdom of Adam-Kadmon.

The Kingdom of Adam-Kadmon at last is absorbed into the Absolute, where life shines free in its movement.

Arcanum No. 11

This Arcanum in Kabbalah is known as the Arcanum of PERSUASION. Persuasion in itself is a force of a subtle, Spiritual order; Occult Wisdom says: “FAN THE FLAME OF THE SPIRIT WITH THE FORCE OF LOVE.”

Love in itself is a powerful, omnipotent force; the force of Love sustains the worlds around their centers of cosmic gravitation. These centers of cosmic gravitation are “the Suns.” For this reason Hermes Trismegistus says: “I GIVE YOU LOVE, WITHIN WHICH IS CONTAINED THE ENTIRE SUMMUM OF WISDOM.”

A soft word pacifies Anger. Persuasion has more power than violence. If a violent person wishes to attack, an amiable phrase is sent to him, and this pacifies his violence. For this reason in Arcanum 11 there appears a woman opening the jaws of a Lion; THAT IS THE LIVING FORCE OF PERSUASION.

Going more deeply, we find the Lion of double head which represents the two Earths, the Visible and the Invisible. The Lion in itself as an animal is very important, very interesting; in Atlantis they served as draft animals; they pulled carriages; they were tame; after the submergence of Atlantis they became furious. The Lion is a living symbol of “Fire.”

Observe that the Sphinx has LION’S CLAWS representing Fire. In the Aztec Calendar or Stone of the Sun, there are some Lion’s claws. Those claws have a very great significance.

If we add the No. 11 Kabbalistically: 1 + 1 = 2. Arcanum No. 2 is the Priestess, the Occult Science, the Divine Mother; she in herself is “Living Fire,” for this reason in the East she is denominated Devi Kundalini in the individual and Maha Kundalini in the Macrocosmic. Learning to work in the Fire is vital; for this reason that two breaks down Kabbalistically into 1 Man + 1 Woman who must work with Fire, in the Magisterium of Fire.

The chariot drawn by lions is a very esoteric allegory and comes from very ancient times. The Chariot represents the Human Being; the Lion, Fire, is no more than a living symbol of the Solar Man, the Sun Man. When the Chariot is spoken of, allusion is made to the Internal Bodies of Man — the Vital, Astral, Mental; in that Chariot the Real Being must Ride. The Zohar paints us the “ANCIENT OF DAYS” traveling in his chariot through the infinite. There is no doubt that the Real Being must always travel in his chariot to work in the worlds.

The Lions of Fire are the synthesis of this Kabbalistic number, for 11 breaks down into 1 + 1 = 2; the 2 into 2 unities: Man-Woman, the two columns of the Temple: Jachin and Boaz; between those two columns is the Arcanum. Analyzing this Arcanum we conclude in the MAGISTERIUM OF FIRE. The Sacred Fire cannot be awakened with Pranayama or breathing exercises combined with Meditation; that only achieves that small fractions or sparks enliven the awakening of the Chakras; such sparks rise to such or such centers, but this does not signify that the Serpent has been raised.

AGNI, the God of Fire, helps to awaken the Fire, but working in the Ninth Sphere. The unmarried can help themselves with Pranayamas to raise sparks, but this does not signify that they raise the Serpent.

We have a “Furnace,” which is the “Coccyx” or MULADHARA CHAKRA. There, as the Alchemists indicate to us, the “Vessel” must be placed; within the Vessel is the MERCURY OF SECRET PHILOSOPHY or “Ens Seminis”; in it is found the “Ens Virtutis,” and the Vessel must be closed to prevent the Prime Matter (the Semen) from being totally lost.

The Laboratory has a “Chimney” through which the Vapors must ascend; this is the MEDULLAR CANAL; and a “Distiller” which is in the BRAIN to distill the Pure Gold. This is the laboratory of the Medieval Alchemists who transformed Lead into Gold.

Many despise the Elementals, and we must not do this.

The SALAMANDERS take care of the FIRE; the UNDINES are within the PRIME MATTER enclosed in their vessel; the Undines help us if we dominate them; if not, they do what they wish because they are very fickle. The SYLPHS cause the VAPORS that escape from the Prime Matter to rise. The GNOMES are in charge in the Brain of distilling the PRIME MATTER so that it remains CONVERTED INTO GOLD.

I have known true DEVAS OF FIRE; I have come into contact with them; they live in the Causal world, or of the Conscious Will. They said to me: “beyond Clairvoyance is Intuition, which is superior because it belongs to the Pure Spirit.” With Clairvoyance one investigates in the Molecular World, superior and inferior regions; in contrast, Intuition functions DIRECTLY IN THE WORLD OF PURE SPIRIT. For this reason Intuition is superior. Intuition has its root in the Pineal Gland, the Sahasrara Chakra or Lotus of the Thousand Petals. This faculty is related with Shiva or Flaming Fire; for this reason this center gives us access to the World of Pure Spirit.

In the Human Being there can exist 49 Fires; the 7 Chakras or Churches by 7 Levels gives as result 49 Fires. 7 x 7 = 49.

There are various classes of Fires: the Fire of lightning, that which is concentrated in plants, the Fire which burns in the interior of mountains and which the volcanoes of the earth vomit forth, the Fire used for cooking, the Fire of every world; but in synthesis we could speak of two: Solar Fire and Lunar Fire. THE SOLAR FIRE IS CHRISTIC, sublime; it is Devi Kundalini. The Lunar Fire is Luciferian, negative, fatal.

The Solar Fire crystallizes into Worlds, Suns, Universes. The Lunar Fire crystallizes into all those entities which constitute the Animal Ego.

Man must develop the 49 Fires in his Chakras.

Arcanum No. 12

Arcanum No. 12 implies SACRIFICES; it is the card of the Apostolate, Sufferings. Nevertheless, this number is a very complete number; it is the famous dodecahedron upon which all the universal creations of the Solar System rest, which has 12 Foundations, 12 Planets.

Esoteric Science teaches that there exist 7 principal planets:

MOON — MERCURY — VENUS — SUN — MARS — JUPITER — SATURN.

With URANUS, NEPTUNE, AND PLUTO there would be 10 planets; Esoteric Science maintains that there are two planets beyond Pluto. The 12 Saving Planets have always been spoken of; the Master Jesus had 12 Disciples, and in the Pistis Sophia of the Gnostic texts reference is made to the 12 Saviors.

Arcanum No. 12 brings much suffering, many struggles. It has a very beautiful synthesis because 1 + 2 = 3, which signifies production both Material and Spiritual.

Let us recall the marvelous ligation of the cross with the triangle; in Arcanum No. 12 we see a man who hangs by one foot downward to indicate the fecund work in the Ninth Sphere, without which the ligation of the Cross with the Triangle could not be attained; the Philosophical Gold could not be attained without that ligation.

In the Age of Pisces there was a regressive, retarding asceticism that detested and hated sex. Even now in the Caucasus there exist vestiges of a sect which hated Sex mortally; those who entered that sect had to castrate themselves with a red-hot iron; women were deprived of the lesser labia of the vulva — this was the first phase; in the second phase, the men had to amputate the Phallus, and from the women in full religious ceremony a breast was removed, and they drank the blood and ate the flesh; afterward she was laid upon a bed of flowers. This is monstrous, abominable. See to what extreme the horror of Sex reaches; this pertains to the Sphere of Lilith.

Kabbalistic traditions say that Adam had two wives: LILITH, the mother of abortions, homosexualism, and the hatred of Sex; and inversely Nahemah, the mother of malignant beauty, of passion, of adultery, lust, and all that pertains to abuses of sex. The Caucasian sect is of LILITH; it abhors the Third Logos, the Holy Spirit.

See how hatred of Sex discards the Philosophical Stone; this is absurd; nevertheless, they believe they are doing well. The authorities intervened in another sect, where every year they crucified a man until death, in order to recall the Great Master. Barbarisms of this kind are of the Age of Pisces.

In the Age of Aquarius, which is governed by Uranus — the planet regent of the Sexual Glands — we must learn to use Sex; one must intelligently combine the “Sexual Yearning” with “Mystical Enthusiasm,” and from that wise mixture results the Erotic Revolutionary Intelligence of the Age of Aquarius.

The Age of Pisces is conservative, regressive, retarding. One must leave VULGAR COUPLING and pass to the circle of polarization Man-Woman — it is necessary. When a man and a woman unite, something is created; in the Ancient Mysteries the “Genius Lucis of Sex” was created; in those times Sexual Magic was practiced. There were collective couplings; it was another time because the degree of degeneration of today had not arrived, for which reason in former times people would pronounce the name of the Divinity at that moment of the Genius Lucis.

THE LANCE OF LONGINUS is the extraordinary emblem of the “Genius Lucis,” the Odic or Magnetic force with which the Animal Ego is transformed into cosmic dust. One must learn to use the Genius Lucis to eliminate the “I.” The Genius Lucis of the Man and the Woman can eliminate all those entities that form the “I,” the “Myself,” because it is the weapon to destroy the “Ego.”

KRISHNAMURTI has taught humanity to dissolve the Ego; but the teaching is incipient because he believes that only on the basis of Comprehension is it eliminated (anger, jealousy, etc.); that is not possible. A power is needed capable of eliminating the Ego, and that is the Serpentine Fire, “DEVI KUNDALINI,” who has the power to eliminate all our Psychological Defects. Comprehension and Elimination must be balanced. Devi Kundalini can grasp the Lance and does so during the Sahaja Maithuna; she knows how to use the Genius Lucis.

To pray in the bed-chamber of the Garden of Delights; in the nuptial bed of erotic wonders; to Implore in the moment of pleasures, in the unforgettable instant of coitus; to ask our Divine and adorable Divine Mother Kundalini to splendidly grasp the Magical Lance in those instants of kisses and tenderness, in order to eliminate that Defect we have comprehended in all the departments of the Mind; and then to withdraw without spilling the sacred wine, the “Ens Seminis” — signifies death, joy, ecstasy, delight, enjoyment…

This of Death is something transcendental; it is realized by degrees. When an Absolute Death in the Mind is achieved, the transformation of the Initiates is amazing; such death implies a Radical Death. This cannot be performed but in the region of Mercury, and the element that can help us is that “Genius Lucis” of the Man and Woman; it is Isis, Cybele, Insoberta, or Kundalini Shakti, who can take us to that profound intellectual transformation.

Death is performed in the Spheres of the various Planets. The Angels work in the Astral World and are governed by the Moon. The Archangels develop themselves under the regency of Mercury, and their work they carry out in the world of the Mind; they handle the substances or Essence of the Mental World, and they have achieved this in the Ninth Sphere from moment to moment.

In Venus another work must be performed; to this world corresponds the Causal, the Kingdom of the Principalities. The Virtues correspond to the Buddhic-Intuitional, are of the Sphere of the Sun. To Atman correspond the Powers with Mars; then follows Jupiter with the Dominions. Saturn continues; it is the most elevated among the 7 Planets; it is of the most Divinal, the most exalted. Beyond Saturn is the PARANIRVANIC World. Beyond the Empyrean, the most elevated, are the Seraphim. The whole Solar System is within ourselves.

In each of these planets specific works must be performed.

HOW COULD WE HAVE THE WILL AT THE SERVICE OF THE FATHER IF WE HAVE NOT WORKED IN THE SPHERE OF VENUS?

We must first liberate ourselves from the Planet Earth — arrive at the Second Birth. Then liberate ourselves from the Moon, the work related with the Moon. In Venus one frees oneself from Ill Will; it is something magnificent.

First one must liberate oneself from the Solar System (Deuterocosmos) and then from the Galaxy (Macrocosmos). By means of transcendental works we enter into the Protocosmos. Despite being within the Absolute, we must liberate ourselves from the Protocosmos; the way is sexual; there is no other way.

The Aquarian Age is a sign of Knowing; everything is Revolutionary.

URANUS = LORD OF THE SEXUAL GLANDS.

URANAS = FIRE AND WATER.

Every school that does not teach the Sahaja-Maithuna is not Aquarian. Aquarius does not reject Sex; it investigates it. A Mutant is a Man in the broadest sense; taboos have ended in the Aquarian Era.

The Psychology of the Aquarian Era with its five famous M’s (Panchatattva ritual) is Revolutionary.

As absurd is he who hates Sex as he who abuses it; he who gets drunk as he who never drinks. One must travel the middle road; not fall into the extremes.

Synthesis

THE ALCHEMIST NEEDS AN ATHANOR (FURNACE) TO WORK IN THE GREAT WORK. THAT ATHANOR IS THE WOMAN. HE WHO WISHES TO BECOME AN INEFFABLE GOD MUST ADORE THE WOMAN.

I consider that it is impossible to Self-realize without a woman.

It is impossible to be an alchemist if one does not work with the Philosophical Stone. That Blessed Stone has four names: Azoth, INRI, Adam, Eve.

The Sun King is engendered within ourselves, practicing Sexual Magic intensely with the Woman. The Woman converts us into Ineffable Gods.

Arcanum No. 13

This Arcanum, Death, comprises two aspects: the first aspect is the death of all human beings, and the second is from the esoteric point of view.

In the first aspect, all texts of occultism, pseudo-occultism, pseudo-Rosicrucianism, theosophists, affirm that one is born at a determined hour and dies on a determined day, hour, and second, according to the Law of Destiny.

This concept is not exact, because the Lords of Karma deposit in one a certain amount of “Cosmic Values,” and that “Capital” can be preserved and life can be prolonged for a long time; or one can spend the Values and shorten one’s life.

Life is prolonged by accumulating Cosmic Capital. If there are no good actions, only in certain cases would the Lords of Karma prolong life. The Lords of Karma deposit in each of our Three Brains a determined quantity of Vital Values:

• First Brain, THINKING OR INTELLECTUAL, in the head.

• Second Brain, MOTOR, situated in the upper part of the spinal column.

• Third Brain, EMOTIONAL, situated in the Solar Plexus and sympathetic nerve centers.

If one exhausts the Vital Values of the THINKING BRAIN, abusing the Intellect, it is clear that one provokes the death of this brain, or contracts diseases of a nervous type — neurasthenia, imbecility, schizophrenia — or provokes madness or manias that those people have who have exhausted the Values of the Intellectual Center.

If one exhausts the Values of the EMOTIONAL CENTER, one provokes diseases of the heart, psychic, nervous; diseases related to the emotive, emotional aspects; many artists exhaust the emotional brain and end with certain psychopathic, emotional, cardiac states.

Those who exhaust the Values of the MOTOR BRAIN end paralytic or with diseases related to muscles, knees, articulations, or paralysis, etc., damage to the spinal column. All diseases in general result from the bad use of these Three Brains, which means that one dies in thirds, little by little.

Example: footballers, runners, boxers are people who abuse the Motor Brain; these persons end badly; their death is from the bad use of the Motor Brain.

If one learns to handle the Three Brains in balanced form, the Vital Values deposited by the Lords of Karma are saved, and life is lengthened. In Asia there exist monasteries where monks reach the age of 300 years or more because they handle the three values harmoniously, in balanced form, saving the Vital Values of the Three Brains. THEN WHAT BECOMES OF THE EXACT HOUR AND DATE OF LIFE OR DEATH?

If one exhausts the Values one dies soon; if one saves them, one prolongs life. It is clear that some are given more capital than others; it depends upon the debit and credit of each one. When one believes one has abused the Thinking Brain, one must put the Motor Brain to work.

In order to be able to prolong life while in these esoteric studies, one must negotiate with the Lords of Karma, but one must pay by doing good works.

Every man who incarnates the Soul can ask for the Elixir of Long Life. This is a gas of immaculate whiteness. Said gas is deposited in the Vital Foundation of the human organism. After the Resurrection the Master no longer dies; he is Eternal.

We have the case of Master Paracelsus; he has not died; he lives in Europe in the same body. He is one of those who “swallowed earth,” who remained as a vagabond, posing as different persons. Nicolas Flamel, the Initiate, lives in India with his wife Perrenelle; he also swallowed earth together with his wife. The Count Saint Germain who directs the Ray of World Politics worked in Europe in the 16th and 18th centuries; recently Giovanni Papini encountered him. The Christ Yogi of India, the Immortal Babaji and his immortal sister Mataji, have lived with their Physical Body for millions of years.

The Immortals can appear and disappear instantaneously; they make themselves visible in the Physical World at will. Cagliostro, Saint Germain, Quetzalcoatl, and many other Immortals have done Great Works in the world.

Death is the crown of the Path of Life; it is formed by the hooves of the horse of death.

THE DEATH OF THE INITIATE:

The Egyptian “Book of the Dead” is for those who live and are dead — one must know how to understand it. It treats of the Deceased Initiates who, although they are already dead, live: they have already entered into the Region of the dead, and emerge to the Sun to give their teachings.

The first thing to do in order to Die is to Dissolve the “I,” that which is a set of Demons and which the Egyptians call the RED DEMONS OF SETH. We must do this in order to awaken Consciousness and receive direct knowledge. The Red Demons of Seth are all the Demons we have; he is Satan; these must be killed. Horus must defeat those Demons.

Seth has two aspects: as Negative he is Satan, and as Positive he corresponds to the Spinal Column. This tenebrous Satanic Seth must be Killed; that Lunar Ego which is constituted by thousands of Demons that Horus must defeat with the aid of Isis, the Divine Mother, must Die.

Those I’s must be reduced to dust, and the seeds must be burned and one must bathe in the waters of the Lethe to forget and of the Eunoe to strengthen virtues, and then ascend to the Heavens. To ascend to each of the heavens, one must first Descend into the Hells. That is not all; tremendous battles come; this must be studied with the Pistis Sophia at hand.

The Initiate must become a “CROCODILE”; for this, one must destroy the Body of Desires, which is Lunar, and afterward ascend to the Lunar Heaven; to be able to destroy it one must “Submerge,” and that signifies a frightful descent through enormous sacrifices, and there he leaves the Lunar Body, which goes on disintegrating little by little. When he has rid himself of the Body of Desires, then the Initiate emerges with his SOLAR ASTRAL BODY.

Then he must pass to Mercury, to the Decapitation, to rid himself of the Lunar Mind. The Initiate calls out, asking for his head, the head of Osiris, but he must pass through many slaughters; he must fight against the Demons. Just as there are 8 Kabirs, so also there are 8 Anti-Kabirs, two in each cardinal point, which are the antitheses. To the Initiate it falls to fight with the 8 Black Kabirs; one cannot “ascend without descending.”

ONE CANNOT ENTER INTO THE ABSOLUTE “WITHOUT PASSING THROUGH THE GREAT DEATH,” AND THE ESSENCE SUBMERGING ITSELF INTO THE BEING.

On the path toward the Absolute, one must Descend; there is where one becomes a DEAD CROCODILE. Then one must ascend, and the ascent is most difficult. When one has submerged into the Being, one can say: “I AM HORUS”; he can speak in the Language of the Gods; he can be the Living God in the sight of the Red Demons who constitute the Ego.

Card 13 contains the GOSPEL OF JUDAS. Judas represents the Death of the Ego. That is his Gospel; that role he played as the Great Master ordered him. Judas is presently working in the Inferior Worlds with the Demons, in order to be able to redeem them and attain one or another. When his work is finished, he will go with Jesus to the Absolute, because he has well earned it.

Synthesis

One must become the Sacred Crocodile Sebek through enormous ordeals and great sacrifices.

IN THIS, EFFORTS ARE NOT ENOUGH, BUT SUPER-EFFORTS.

WE MUST GIVE FORM TO OURSELVES; THIS REQUIRES SUPER-EFFORTS THROUGH CONSTANT, DAILY, INTENSIVE WORK.

One must work to put an end to Anger.

The dead live in the sphere of Yetzirah; the dead live in the world of NOGAH (Astral World).

The deceased who have been fornicators are cold and tenebrous; they live in the World of Assiyah, full of cold and darkness.

The disciples who have been chaste and have awakened the Kundalini, after death, are full of youth and Fire.

HOUR 13 IS INTIMATELY RELATED WITH DEATH; THERE CAN BE NO RESURRECTION IF THERE IS NO DEATH; LIBERATION IS THE HOUR THIRTEEN OF APOLLONIUS.

The Twelve Gates of Mercy are the 12 Zodiacal Signs, 12 Regions or 12 Suprasensible Worlds; the Gate Number 13, Liberation, is to escape into the Absolute.

One dies to the Cosmos. One is born to the Absolute.

One must Die in order to Live. One must Die and Resurrect.

Arcanum No. 14

The profound wisdom of Arcanum 14 is classically divided into 3 parts:

• TRANSMUTATION OF THE CREATIVE ENERGY.

• TRANSFORMATION.

• TRANSUBSTANTIATION.

We shall study each of these three parts separately.

TRANSMUTATION: The mixture of the Elixirs of the man and the woman, the Red and the White, gives origin to the “Elixir of Long Life.” We have the concrete case of Nicolas Flamel and his wife who presently live physically in India; they have the “Elixir of Long Life.” Paracelsus presently lives in a mountain of Bohemia, in a Temple of Jinas; those who possess the “Elixir of Long Life” know how to live as vagabonds.

The Great Master SANAT KUMARA, founder of the College of Initiates of the White Lodge, lives in an oasis of the Gobi desert; his body is not of the Earth; he came in a cosmic vessel in the epoch of Lemuria; he came from Venus; he is one of the Four Shadai, one of the four Thrones of the Kumaras. He is working, helping all those who are on the Path; he helps intensely; he lives together with a Lemurian Guru. The most ancient writings mention him. They call him the “GREAT IMMOLATED ONE”; he is now Immortal.

This Elixir of Long Life is an electric metaphysical substance; when someone receives it, it is deposited in the Vital Body. He who receives this elixir has the right to live 1,000 years, but he can prolong this time; thus Sanat Kumara has been living for three million years. For this Elixir, the transmutation of the Sacred Fire is needed.

TRANSFORMATION: The second part of this arcanum 14 refers to the TRANSFORMATION OF THE ENERGIES. One can transform one energy into another, as for example, Hate into Love.

There exist many forms of transformation of the Energy. It is known in Esoteric Wisdom that the Initiate must transform himself into a bird, into hawks with human heads, when the “I” is Dissolved. With the Consciousness free, transformed into birds, we penetrate into the WORLD OF THOSE WHO ARE DEAD WHILE ALIVE; we can fly above the seas, cross mountains.

We need to Transform ourselves into SERPENTS OF WISDOM, or a “Naga.” We need to Transform ourselves into Crocodiles; if we wish to ascend we must first “submerge into the bottom of the Abyss” — this is the Law. The Twice-Born must transform themselves into true Esoteric Deceased ones of the Mystical Death. This is transcendental; one may be an adept, but first one must have descended and destroyed the Ego, otherwise one becomes a HANASMUSSEN with double center of gravity.

A Hanasmussen is someone who manufactured his Solar Bodies but who did not pass through the PHILOSOPHICAL DEATH OF THE MASTERS, polarizing himself in an individual with Double Center of Gravity; thus result two personalities, one Angelic and the other Demonic; this is called an abortion of the Cosmic Mother, a failed project. The Adept, after having lived the whole cosmic drama of the Crucifixion, must pass through the Ascension, just as Jesus lived it; he must undertake it through the Nine Worlds:

• MOON.

• MERCURY.

• VENUS.

• SUN.

• MARS.

• JUPITER.

• SATURN.

• URANUS.

• NEPTUNE.

After having lived the Drama, for the Dissolution of the Ego, he must pass through the Planets. He transforms into the Crocodile Sebek for the purification and elimination of the different Egos, for in order to ascend to their respective Heavens one must descend into the ATOMIC HELLS of each planet. The last two do not have Hells.

In the Hell of the Moon he leaves the Body of Desires, the Astral. In Mercury he leaves Cain, the Mind, and ascends to the Heaven, and thus successively he must transform himself into a Crocodile 7 times to descend seven times and ascend to the Heavens. All this process is to liberate oneself from the Laws of the Solar System; afterward one must liberate oneself from the Laws of the Galaxy, subsequently from the Laws of the Universes, and transform oneself into a most pure Lotus Flower, becoming a Cosmocrator — that is, a Lord creator of Universes — and subsequently sink and be absorbed into the bosom of the Absolute.

There exist transformations of an inferior order. Circe transformed men into pigs. The legend says that Apuleius was transformed into an ass. If one places one’s Physical Body into the Fourth Dimension, using the “Jinas States,” one can assume any figure, transform oneself into a bird, fish, or whatever one wishes. In the Fourth Dimension the Physical Body is elastic and can transform itself into an animal. The Latin Mantrams for transformation are these: “EST SIT, ESTO, FIAT”; only in JINAS STATE CAN WE TRANSFORM OURSELVES.

TRANSUBSTANTIATION: The Last Supper of the adorable Savior of the World dates from archaic epochs. The Great Lord of Atlantis also practiced it, as did Christ Jesus.

This is a ceremony of blood, a covenant of blood. The Apostles each brought their blood within a cup, and they then mixed it with the Royal Blood of the Adorable within the Chalice of the Last Supper (the Holy Grail). Thus, the Astral Bodies of the Apostles are united to the Astral of the Christ through the covenant of blood. The Apostles drank of the Blood contained in the chalice; Jesus also drank.

THE HOLY GNOSTIC UNCTION is united to the Last Supper by the covenant of blood. When the Christic Atoms descend into the Bread and the Wine, these are in fact transformed into the Flesh and Blood of Christ; this is the Mystery of Transubstantiation.

The Bread and the Wine, the Seed of Wheat and the fruit of the Vine, must be regally transformed into the Flesh and Blood of the Intimate Christ.

THE SOLAR LOGOS with his vigorous and active life makes the seed germinate; for the spike to grow from millimeter to millimeter, enclosing the Solar Logos within the dense hardness of the grain like a precious coffer. The enchanting germ of the sacred spike has its intimate exponent in the human seed.

The solar rays penetrating solemnly into the trunk of the vine develop and unfold in stealth until ripening in the sacrosanct fruit of the vine, a true emblem of life which manifests itself with all its splendor in the substance.

The Gnostic Priest in a state of ecstasy perceives that cosmic substance of the Christ-Sun enclosed in the Bread and the Wine, and acts by detaching it from its physical elements so that the “Christic Atoms” may penetrate victoriously within the human organisms.

When Jesus established the Gnostic School he broke the Bread and said to all: “TAKE AND EAT, FOR THIS IS MY BODY”; he distributed the Wine and said: “TAKE AND DRINK, FOR THIS IS MY BLOOD”; “He who eats my Body and drinks my Blood abides in me and I in him.”

During the Gnostic Ritual we communicate with the World of the Solar Logos, with the Egyptian “Ra,” with the TUM; this word is very important; it has three aspects to represent the Three Primary Forces:

• T: THE FATHER.

• U: THE SON.

• M: THE HOLY SPIRIT.

This is a powerful Mantram; the Forces of the Logos are attracted toward us; at the instant in which the Bread and Wine are consecrated, the “Christic Atoms” descend, and they are in fact transformed into the Flesh and Blood of Christ. This is attained by means of a channel that opens up and communicates directly with the Logos by means of the Mantram.

Upon being in ecstasy with the TRANSUBSTANTIATION, “Christic Atoms” of very high voltage descend, giving us Light within the Darkness. These Christic Atoms help us in the struggle against the Demons of Seth. Thus we make Light in the Darkness; we are profound darkness. It is written that “The Light comes forth from the Darkness.” The Gods emerge from the Abyss and then are lost in the Absolute. Then the Abyss is indispensable in order for there to be Gods.

The Gods must know Good and Evil. The Abyss is a Cosmic Amphitheater where Gods are forged. For this reason one must Descend in order to be able to Ascend.

THE SOLAR CHRISTIC ATOMS — those Igneous Lives, those Secret Agents of the Adorable — work silently within the Temple-Heart, inviting us again and again to tread the path that must lead us to Nirvana. From every angle the mysterious help of the Christic Atoms is highlighted with entire meridian clarity.

And the Light shines in the Darkness, and upon the Altar appear the Twelve Loaves of the Showbread; manifest allusion to the Zodiacal Signs or distinct modalities of the Cosmic Substance. This reminds us of Arcanum 12; the Magnum Opus, the ligation of the Cross with the Triangle.

As for the Wine that derives from the ripe fruit of the vine, it is the marvelous symbol of Fire, of the blood of life which manifests itself in the Substance.

It is unquestionable that, although the words Wine, Life, Vine, have distinct origins, they do not thereby cease to have certain symbolic affinities. In no other way is Wine related to Vis “Force and Virtus,” “Moral Force,” as also with Virgo, “Virgin,” the Igneous Serpent of our Magical Powers.

THE SAHAJA MAITHUNA (Sexual Magic) between Man and Woman, Adam-Eve, in the delicious bed of Authentic Love, keeps in truth sublime rhythmic concordances with the mystical agape of the great Kabir Jesus.

To transform the Bread (Seed) into Solar Flesh and the delicious Wine into Christic Blood and Holy Fire is the most extraordinary miracle of Sexo-Yoga. THE GOLDEN BODY OF THE SOLAR MAN, the famous “To Soma Heliakon” (complete synthesis of the Christic Vehicles), is the flesh, blood, and life of the Logos Creator or Demiurge. The living secret crystallization of the Sexual Energy in the resplendent form of that Glorious Body is only possible with Amorous Magic.

Einstein, one of the great luminaries of the intellect, wrote a wise postulate which says literally: “Mass is transformed into energy. Energy is transformed into mass.”

It is evident that by means of the Sahaja Maithuna we can and must transform the Ens Seminis into Energy. To transform the Bread into Flesh and the Wine into real Blood, Living and Philosophical Fire, is to realize the miracle of Transubstantiation.

We must sublimate our Sexual Energy to the Heart. The communion of the Bread and the Wine has the power to sublimate the Sexual Energy to the heart. WE CAN PLACE A LOAF AND A GLASS OF WINE BESIDE OUR BED AND AFTER WORKING IN THE ARCANUM A.Z.F., PRAY AND BLESS THE BREAD AND THE WINE, THEN EAT THE BREAD AND DRINK THE WINE. Arcanum 14 converts the Bread and the Wine into the Blood of Christ; with this Arcanum the Bread and the Wine are charged with the Christic Atoms which descend from the Central Sun.

Synthesis

The Master who renounces Nirvana for love of humanity is confirmed three times Honored.

The Master who renounces Nirvana to remain in the Physical World must ask for the ELIXIR OF LONG LIFE.

Arcanum No. 15

This Arcanum corresponds to Satan, of whom the Bible speaks; to Seth in his negative aspect, of whom the Egyptians speak.

If we break down No. 15 Kabbalistically, we have 1 + 5 = 6; we already know that six in itself is Sex. This signifies that in Sex is the greatest force which can liberate man, but also the greatest force which can enslave him.

Let us recall the “Constellation of Orion” of the Egyptians; it is evident that this constellation is governed by 12 Great Masters; esoterically it is said that those 12 Masters give each other their hand among themselves, but the 6th is always missing. This signifies that “IN ORDER TO ARRIVE AT SELF-REALIZATION ONE MUST TEAR THE VEIL OF ISIS” — that is, the Adamic Sexual Veil.

ONLY BY LIBERATING ONESELF FROM SEX IN ABSOLUTE FORM can one arrive at Final Liberation. The bad thing in all this is like the saying: “wishing to saddle the horse before having it” — that is, all the schools which preach that one must liberate oneself from Sex without having manufactured the Solar Bodies.

First one must Manufacture the Solar Bodies and afterward renounce Sex; that is the right way of things and the way of right. First is the Animal and afterward the Spiritual, in the work.

The Constellation of Orion has a marked influence upon the Atomic Star which guides our inner being, which is the Ain Soph Paranishpana, our Intimate Star. As a Master said: “I lift up my eyes upon the stars which must come to my aid, but I am always guided by my Star which I bear within.”

Arcanum 15 of the Tarot is the “Pluralized I”; esoterically it is called Satan.

The sign of the Infinite is very important; to it correspond 8 KABIRS who govern all Creation, all Nature; they are the Regents of Universal Life who govern our planet Earth. But they have their antithesis, which are the 8 Hierarchs of the Black Lodge — that is, the 8 Anti-Kabirs, 2 in the East, 2 in the West, 2 in the North and 2 in the South. We mention them because they pertain to Arcanum 15, to Typhon Baphomet, to Satan. The Esotericist must know how to defend himself from those Eight Kabirs; for this exist the Conjurations and all the esotericism of High Magic.

Those who work in HIGH MAGIC NEED TO PROTECT THEMSELVES WITH THE MAGIC CIRCLE; TO KNOW HOW TO USE THE SACRED VIPER WITH WHICH THE TENEBROUS ONES FLEE; the ancient Egyptians projected her through the heart. One must know how to invoke “Ra” to defend oneself from the 8 Anti-Kabirs of the Black Lodge; for, just as there exist crystallizations of Adepts of the White Lodge, so likewise exist Adepts of the Black Lodge, of the Left Hand, with all their powers.

This class of Tenebrous Adepts crystallize with Black Tantrism, in which there exists the same connection of the Lingam-Yoni, but with spilling of the Ens Seminis. The 8 Anti-Kabirs are the 8 crystallizations of H-SI-12 of the Ens Seminis in its negative, fatal form.

It is said that when the Adept wins the battle, he takes refuge in the EYE OF HORUS and is covered by a Triple Veil, being protected from the Red Demons of Seth; they can no longer do anything against him, and he becomes invisible to the Red Demons. It is clear that this is no more than the Pluralized I of each one, which is a legion of demons. There is no doubt that all these devils are living personifications of OUR OWN ERRORS AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DEFECTS.

It is good to know that the most difficult of these demons to conquer is that of Lust; this is the principal defect, represented in Arcanum “15” of the Tarot by Sexual Passion or Lust.

Arcanum No. 15 represents “PASSION” because passion is founded on the modus operandi of the Luciferian Fire; it constitutes the functionalism of said fire.

There exist in synthesis, two great Fires: the Sacred Fire of the Kundalini which ascends along the Spinal Column, and the Kundartiguator which descends, which precipitates itself into the Hells.

The Kundalini is the brazen Serpent which healed the Israelites, which Moses raised upon the Staff. The Kundartiguator Fire is the Tempting Serpent of Eden, which descends to the Atomic Hells of man. In Egyptian wisdom, the Tempting Serpent receives the name of “Apap”; in the Rituals of Ancient Egypt, it was represented in wax with the head downward, and thus they exorcised it, conjured it.

Against this Tempting Serpent of Sexual Passion, against this horrible Apap, the Initiate must struggle frightfully; the struggle is to the death. The Negative Fire of Apep is the negative aspect of Prakriti — that is, KALI, who assumes the aspect of a horrible viper which crawls in the mud (see life of Krishna); if we wish to conquer her in the Cosmos, we must conquer her within ourselves.

The living foundation of Animal Passion is in that Luciferian Fire of the Serpent Apep; the crystallization of that Negative Luciferian Fohat (Fire) is personified in those Red Demons, in that Pluralized I. It is in the Sexual Luciferian Fire where the Red Demons of Seth exist. IF WE WISH TO DISSOLVE THE “I” WE MUST BEGIN BY PUTTING AN END TO LUST. If from fishes of the sea we take away the water, they die; if from our I’s we take away the Luciferian Fire, these I’s die. We must put an end to the nourishment in which they live.

The Atomic Hells of man are a reality. Wars are won on the battlefield; we must win it from the Red Demons.

Arcanum No. 15 signifies the work with the Devil, by means of the Phallus-Osiris and the Uterus-Isis, of which Satan or Seth has taken possession. The Phallus of the Gods is of Pure Gold. It is necessary to eradicate everything that has a flavor of Animal Passion.

In the ancient mysteries among the Illuminated GNOSTIC-ROSICRUCIANS, there was a ceremonial of Initiation; the neophyte, submitted to trials, was conducted blindfolded to a certain place; the most interesting was when the blindfold was torn off; he found himself in an illuminated salon; all were in the center around a Goat, on whose forehead the pentalpha shone between its great horns. The Neophyte was ordered to go and kiss the Devil’s rear — that is, the tail; on going around the animal he met a Beautiful Lady who welcomed him, embraced him, and kissed him on the forehead; then he had triumphed. But if he refused, then he had failed, and they would take him out of the chamber without the Neophyte knowing the secret.

The lady who kissed him represented Isis, the Divine Mother, and she kissed him on the forehead, as if telling him: “the hour has come for you to work with the Sacred Serpent.” One must STEAL THE FIRE FROM THE DEVIL, from the Goat, by means of the Transmutation of the vile metals into Gold, to transform ourselves into Gods; this is the Mystery of Alchemy; that goat must be eliminated. Each Defect must be changed, killed, and a Virtue is born; this is the reason for the phrase “Solve et Coagula.” The Gods emerge from the Abyss and are lost in the Absolute.

The Magician charges the power in the sexual organs, because therein is the Laboratorium Oratorium of the Third Logos.

Synthesis

In the World of Assiyah, there exist millions of Black Lodges.

The most dangerous Black Magicians of the Universe exist in the Mental World.

EVERY OCCULTIST WHO RECOMMENDS SEMINAL EJACULATION IS A BLACK MAGICIAN.

Every fornicator is a Black Magician. Every association of fornicators forms a Black Lodge.

Our disciples must learn to Conjure the tenebrous ones, to make them flee in fear. USE THE CONJURATIONS OF THE FOUR AND OF THE SEVEN.

The tenebrous ones must be conjured with the Sword.

Arcanum No. 16

This Arcanum is the Smitten Tower; in Kabbalah it is known as the Tower of Babel, of which the Bible speaks; from said tower one perceives the fall of the Initiate, forming the INVERTED PENTAGRAM. The Sacred symbol of the Infinite represents the Brain, Heart, and Sex. If Sex dominates the Brain, the fall comes, the Smitten Tower, the inverted Five-Pointed Star, the Pentagram reversed, the man head down with both legs upward; he is hurled into the bottom of the Abyss.

Let us recall that sacred enunciation of: “INFINITE EQUALS PENTALPHA.”

If we analyze carefully, Arcanum 16 invites us to reflection.

WHO ARE THOSE WHO FALL? They are those who SPILL THE VASE OF HERMES. For this reason Krumm Heller said: “THE CUP MUST BE LIFTED HIGH”; he was referring to the “Sacred Wine.”

In archaic times, back in Lemuria, I obtained the Elixir of Long Life; this is founded upon the Primordial Substance which can make life green again; it is the “NECTAR OF THE GODS,” what Paracelsus calls the Ens Seminis where the Ens Virtutis is found.

On the continent of “Mu” or Lemuria, which was situated in the gigantic Pacific Ocean, the White Brotherhood granted me the Marvelous Elixir, “The Gift of Cupid,” with which one can preserve the body for millions of years.

I was able to preserve the Physical Body for thousands of years in Atlantis; I was an Immortal. At the beginning of the First Aryan Sub-Race the same happened to me as to Count Zanoni, who because he had fallen in love with a chorus girl from Naples, was deprived of his Immortal Body. Thus I came to be reincarnated in distinct bodies, until now that I have returned upward.

One must arrive at a transformation by means of Nu, the Divine Mother, with whose help we can eliminate all that assemblage of tenebrous entities, Satan… “Nu” can transform us radically in definitive form.

It is necessary that a complete transformation be verified; that our head, our face be of “Ra” and our body, hands, and legs be of “TUM.”

• RA: IS THE FATHER.

• TUM: IS THE BODY OF THE FATHER.

TUM: It is a terribly Divine Mantram; it must never be pronounced in vain or in jest, because immediately OUR FATHER WHO IS IN SECRET descends from wherever he is.

We must become workers of the Great Work of the Father. RA is the Christ, is life, is the Second Logos. TUM is the Father, the First Logos; on being pronounced there is Fire and he descends. They are Mantrams of Immense Sacerdotal Magical Power.

Only by having developed the Seven Degrees of the Power of Fire can we incarnate the Father. It is clear that if the Initiate violates his Vows of Chastity, he falls.

If we add Kabbalistically the numbers of Arcanum 16, it gives 1 + 6 = 7; the 7 Degrees of the Power of Fire, the “Seven Scales of the Mind.” If the Initiate falls, he is struck down by Arcanum 16 and tumbles down those scales. In Occult Science it is said that he is left without Inri (Ignis, Natura, Renovatur, Integram); he has failed. This, then, is the Smitten Tower.

Woe to those who are left without INRI; one comes down from the Tower. The victorious, those who arrive at the Second Birth, enter into the Order of Melchizedek, into the order of KEB, the Genie of the Earth.

For the Lunar Bodies to remain in the Amenti, one must die, die, and die. Only with death does the new come. The true Deceased Initiates are those who killed the I; they have taken possession of the Two Earths; and they can enter into the Amenti, or here, at will. For this reason it is said that he has been made King and Priest of the Earth according to the Order of Melchizedek. It is clear that IF HE LETS HIMSELF FALL, HE LOSES THE SCEPTER OF COMMAND and is hurled from the tower downward.

On the Esoteric Path, we must all struggle. The Twice-Born as well. There are Initiates whose throats are stagnant, so the battle is hard; the higher one is, the harder the fall, the deeper.

One must look after the kind of nourishment of the mind: such as press, television, films. To transmute the Oral, Mental Esperma, with sepulchral offerings — that is, not to nourish oneself with garbage, because it serves not; it is carrion of the Mind: bad literature, bad cinema, bad television, bad words. We must not forget that we have a terrible demoness, “Kali,” who is the abominable Kundartiguator Organ, the frightful Serpent “APOPI.” The people are victims of the Kali, the Tempting Serpent of whom the Hindustanis speak.

The Initiate who lets himself fall loses the Crown and the Sword; the Pineal, the Sahasrara Chakra, is the Crown; the Sword is the Flaming Sword, which must be laid at the feet of Osiris. To him who overcomes, to the victorious one, the Four Hidden, Occult Pillars are delivered, acquiring power over the Four Regions of the Cosmos:

• LIFE.

• SUBMERGED MINERAL.

• MOLECULAR.

• ELECTRONIC OR OF THE SPIRITUAL WORLD.

Going more deeply into Esotericism, the space between the eyebrows, the Third Eye, center of Clairvoyance, is the Eye of Horus, who in himself is the Innermost, our Divine Being, who is in the arms of our Divine Mother.

The Hawk is the symbol of Horus; the Golden Hawk strengthens Horus (it is pronounced Aurus) with the total death of ourselves; it is related with the Rising Sun. One must put oneself in contact with the Spiritual Sun. We need to strengthen Horus; we have the right to ask that he fortify our Three Brains:

• INTELLECTUAL.

• EMOTIONAL.

• MOTOR.

WE NEED THE THREE BRAINS STRONG FOR THE BATTLE.

Synthesis

When the Astral Light is coagulated into a flower, we remain in love with the flower. If the Astral Light is accumulated in a woman, we fall in love with the woman.

He who lives bewitched by various women is no more than a weak little bird struck down by the bewitching eyes of the temptress, of the Astral Light.

THE BEWITCHERS OF THE ASTRAL LIGHT ARE DANGEROUS.

“Woe to the Samson of Kabbalah who lets himself be dominated by Delilah; the Hercules of science who exchanges his scepter of power for the spindle of Omphale shall soon feel the vengeance of Deianira, and there will be no recourse left him but the pyre of Mount Oeta to escape from the devouring torments of the tunic of Nessus.”

Arcanum No. 17

The EIGHT-POINTED STAR of this Arcanum represents Venus, the Evening Star. In this Arcanum we find represented the work with the Gold and with the Silver, with the Sun and with the Moon. The ancient Alchemists used to say that “the Moon must be transformed into the Sun”; this must be properly understood; by it they meant “abandoning the Lunar Path and coming to the Solar Path.”

ALL THE PEOPLE ARE “LUNAR”; the Moon takes them away and the Moon brings them back. Let us analyze this detail: the first seven years of life in infancy are Lunar; the Moon brings them. The second septenary, from 7 to 14 years, is Mercurial; the child moves about from one place to another; he goes to school; he needs to move.

The third septenary is from 14 to 21 years; it is Venusian; the youth feels the prick of love and goes about with love affairs; at 14 it is obvious that the sexual glands enter into action, and the influence is manifested in the human being.

From 21 to 42 years there are 3 septenaries (4th, 5th, and 6th), or 3 Solar stages; it is the struggle to conquer our position in life. In that epoch (21-42) one manifests as one is.

The seventh septenary is from 42 to 49 years; it is Martian; there are struggles; it is the decisive epoch for each one.

The eighth septenary is from 49 to 56 years; it is the influence of Jupiter upon the human being; in that epoch, those who have good Karma do well economically; those who do not, fare badly.

In the ninth septenary from 56 to 63 years, old Saturn enters; old age enters into the Human Being; it is a Saturnian epoch ruled by the Ancient of the Heavens; the person can boast all he wishes.

After 63 years we enter into Old Age; the Lunar influence comes again. The Moon brings him and the Moon takes him away.

If one examines the life of the human being, all is ruled by the Moon; and when one enters into the Internal Worlds, ONE ENTERS THROUGH THE GATE OF THE MOON. The important thing is to transform the Moon into the Sun, and for this one must work with the Gold and the Silver. Without Alchemy this Arcanum could not be understood; the most important thing is to Transmute Lead into Gold; that is the work that must be performed in the Forge of the Cyclops.

The vital thing of this Arcanum 17 is in the Venustic Initiation; it is the highest part of this Arcanum and is represented by the Eight-Pointed Star of Venus; if we observe carefully the symbol of Venus, we find:

• THE CIRCLE, THE SPIRIT.

• THE CROSS, SEX UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE SPIRIT.

The sign reversed represents that the Spirit is dominated by Sex: this is what happens on Earth — Sex has dominated the Spirit.

Venus, the Star of the Dawn, is very great in its positive aspect; it is marvelous; it is the Venustic Initiation; but in its negative part we find the Luciferian aspect.

The ideal hour to GO OUT IN THE ASTRAL is that of the Dawn, the Hour of Venus; but if one is not in a very pure grade, the Luciferian Currents pull at one. Let us recall Venus-Lucifer, who has two aspects, just as there is the Sacred Fire which ascends (Kundalini), there is the Fire which descends (Kundartiguator).

All the work with Alchemy is to attain the Venustic Initiation; truly this is very difficult. We have the case of Madame Blavatsky, who married Count Blavatsky; after two months she separated from him without having sexual relations; she traveled through India and was in Shangri-La. Her mission was magnificent; she wrote the “Secret Doctrine”; in Volume VI she ends by inviting those who read to Alchemy; without it one does not arrive at Self-realization. She married Colonel Olcott when already elderly, no longer out of passion; the answer is found in the Internal Worlds — and she manufactured the Solar Bodies.

Madame Blavatsky is a Lady Adept who did a Great Work; nevertheless, she did not attain the Venustic Initiation, because she had to have a man’s body. The Christ incarnated only in a male body. For this reason she is preparing herself to take a man’s body, for she will be born in the U.S.A. She has been given encouragement so that she may not faint; renouncing the Great Nirvana and having to return to this world is not at all agreeable.

To attain the Venustic Initiation, Sex is needed, for there are Seven Serpents of Fire which correspond to the Seven Bodies: Physical, Etheric, Astral, Mental, Causal, Buddhic, and the Innermost or Atmic; to each one corresponds a Serpent; in total there are 7 Serpents, two groups of three, with the sublime crowning that unites us with the Father, with the Law.

He who wishes to attain the Venustic Initiation must raise THE SEVEN SERPENTS OF LIGHT. He raises first that of the Physical Body to receive the First Venustic Initiation; then that of the Vital Body, which corresponds to the Second Venustic Initiation; and so on successively.

The Incarnation of the Christ begins with the Venustic Initiation, and it is lived in two forms; first in symbolic form, and afterward one must develop all that was given in the Initiations, live it; that is the crude reality, practice what one preaches; it is an arduous work.

The Christ is the Master of Masters. It is an error of the people to believe that Jesus is the only Christ; Hermes, Quetzalcoatl, Fu-Ji, Krishna, etc., also incarnated the Christ. This Incarnated one must do what he preaches, and this he practices; being God he becomes Man; he must fight against his own passions, against Everything; gold is tested by fire and always emerges victorious. He Incarnates, he becomes Man whenever needed. And he does it with the object of changing the world. He is the Being of our Being; in Him we are all One; He, He, He, He, submerges into the Father and the Father in turn into Him.

He who incarnates the Christ passes the test and goes far beyond the Nirvana, to Worlds of Super-Happiness and Bliss.

Only the valiant enter upon this Path. If one does not know how to cling forcefully to one’s Father and Mother with soul, life, and heart, one does not arrive, one Fails.

One must cling to one’s Father and Mother, “developing love.”

How is one to cling to one’s parents if one has no love?

Presently there is no Rosicrucian school in this world; the only true one is in the Internal Worlds; in the Rosicrucian Monastery I was submitted to a trial — that of Patience; intentionally they place upon one the trial of Patience.

Synthesis

THE HIGHEST OBJECTIVE IS TO ARRIVE AT THE VENUSTIC INITIATION; THIS IS ARCANUM NO. “1”; THE INCARNATION OF THE CHRIST.

The Christ has no Individuality nor Personality, nor I; he is the True Instructor, the Supreme “Great Master,” the Master of Masters.

The Lamb of God is Christ; he washes the sins of the world, but for this one must Work.

He is the True Instructor of the world.

In Egypt the Christ was Osiris; he who incarnated him was a new Osirified one, and had to sacrifice himself for all humanity.

ONE MUST KNOW HOW TO BE PATIENT.

ONE MUST KNOW HOW TO BE SERENE.

Arcanum No. 18

Arcanum 18 summed Kabbalistically is 1 + 8 = 9, THE NINTH SPHERE, Sex. Esoteric traditions affirm that the Earth has 9 strata or SUBTERRANEAN REGIONS; it is clear that in the Ninth Stratum is that which we can call the Planetary Nucleus, which is of extraordinary density. The Kabbalists say that in the center of the Earth is the sign of the Infinite; it is obvious that within the heart of the Earth circulate its Vital Energies.

For such a motive the Kabbalists affirm that in the center of the Earth are found the Brain, Heart, and Sex of the Genie of the Earth — that is, the Planetary Genie. Upon that model are constructed all the organizations of the creatures, that is, within ourselves.

The struggle is terrible — brain against sex, sex against brain, and what is worse, HEART AGAINST HEART.

The PENTAGRAM with the vertex upward is Man; if Sex wins the battle, then the Pentagram is Inverted with the vertex downward, originating the fall of the Smitten Tower of Arcanum 16.

In Sex is the greatest force that can LIBERATE OR ENSLAVE MAN. The descent into the Ninth Sphere was, in ancient times, the SUPREME TRIAL FOR THE SUPREME DIGNITY OF THE HIEROPHANT. All the treatises speak of the descent of Aeneas to the Ninth Sphere, to the Greek Tartarus (Book VI). The Sibyl of Cumae warned him what the descent into Avernus signifies: “Descendant of the blood of the Gods, Trojan, son of Anchises, easy is the descent into Avernus; day and night the door of black Dis is open; but to retrace one’s steps and to return to the airs of the earth, this is the arduous thing. This is the difficult thing; few, and of the lineage of the Gods, to whom Jupiter was propitious or whom a burning virtue elevated to the stars, were able to attain it.”

The Kabbalists speak of the Adam Protoplastos, who by means of the Transmutation of the Creative Energies is transformed into something distinct, different. The Kabbalistic traditions tell us that Adam had two wives, Lilith and Nahemah; it is said that the first is the mother of abortions, homosexualism, of sexual degeneration; and the second is the mother of adulterers, fornicators, etc.

LILITH AND NAHEMAH are the two aspects of INFRA-SEXUALITY; those two women correspond to two Infra-dimensional Spheres, mineral, submerged, within the very interior of the planet Earth.

In every case the Greek Tartarus, the Avernus, are symbols of the submerged Mineral Kingdom. There is life in everything; in the Element Air we live, and said element is invisible to us, just as for the fishes the water is also not seen; I can assure you that in the stone there is life; there exist living beings, and such element is invisible to them; they are not beings of flesh and bone; they are subtle, lost elements, degenerated, who are on the way of involution.

Aeneas found his Father, the Beautiful Helen. Dante in his “Divine Comedy” found multitudes of beings; Dante’s 9 Circles are related with the Nine Spheres in the Submerged Mineral Element.

It becomes necessary to descend into our own Atomic Hells to work with the Fire and the Water, origin of worlds, beasts, and men. In all the Pseudo-Occultist schools one speaks of ascending, rising to the Superior Worlds, but no one thinks of descending — and the serious thing is that to every exaltation corresponds a humiliation.

In the Submerged Sphere of Lilith we find those who like to abort, and the people who use pills, who do not wish to have children, and the result is obvious. In the Sphere of Nahemah we find those who are fascinated by Sex, terribly fornicating men, women given to adultery, pride, vanity, who divorce and marry again. Kabbalistic traditions say that when a man abandons his wife to marry another, he remains marked on the forehead with a Luciferian Fire. The Kabbalists affirm that when a woman marries a man who does not correspond to her, on the day of the wedding she appears “Bald,” and unconsciously she covers her head too much.

“WITHOUT TRANSMUTATION NO ONE CAN SELF-REALIZE.”

The Ninth Sphere is repeated twice in Arcanum 18; this leaves much to think about; the first nine is positive, and the second nine is negative; then Arcanum 18 manifests the fatal or negative aspect of the Ninth Sphere. Said aspect is in the Spheres of Lilith and Nahemah.

It is obvious that the Inferior Worlds are infra-sexual; it is evident that infra-sexuality reigns sovereign among humanity; some are distributed in the Sphere of Lilith and others in that of Nahemah.

When one attempts to work in the Ninth Sphere, one is immediately attacked by the Red Demons; these work to lead us astray from the path on the Razor’s Edge. It is clear that in the Magisterium of Fire many dangers exist, inside and out.

When the IGNEOUS SERPENT OR KUNDALINI ascends along the Spinal Column, the advance is slow; it is realized from vertebra to vertebra very slowly. Each vertebra represents certain Virtues; they correspond to an esoteric Grade. Ascent to a determined vertebra is never attained without having fulfilled the conditions of Holiness required by the vertebra to which one aspires. The “33” Vertebrae correspond to the “33” Degrees of Occult Magic, the 33 Degrees of the Master Mason, to the 33 years of Jesus; and to each vertebra correspond trials, and the ascent is performed “in accordance with the merits of the heart.” Those who believe that the Kundalini once awakened instantly ascends to the head, leaving us totally illuminated, are truly ignorant people.

The Sacred Fire has Seven Degrees of Power; one must develop them in order to be able to Self-realize.

In this present reincarnation when I was struggling with the Fourth Degree of the Power of Fire and had not yet dissolved the Ego, I saw on a cinema screen an erotic couple; and at night in the world of the Mind I was submitted to a trial, in which the couple from the screen performed the same scene; said scene was reproduced by my Mind, it seemed to have life, to move; I came out of the trial. When I left the World of the Mind and passed to the Astral I was harshly reprimanded and warned that if I returned to those places (the cinemas) I would lose the Sword — that I had better study my past lives, in the Akashic Records.

THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE CINEMAS IS TENEBROUS; THERE ARE MILLIONS OF LARVAE CREATED BY THE MINDS OF THE ATTENDEES, and at night come the nocturnal pollutions. This is Arcanum “18,” it is the Darkness.

In the Divine Comedy mention is made of the dog Cerberus, which is Sex, that must be brought out of the Tartarus to the “Sun.” This is the Ascension of the Sexual Forces in us, which must be made to ascend, eliminating the I. This is basic for the Intimate Self-realization of the Being. It is the struggle between Light and Darkness in Arcanum 18.

This terrible struggle is affirmed in the 3 Tantric schools that dedicate themselves to Sex.

• WHITE TANTRISM: Connection of the Lingam-Yoni without ejaculation of the Ens Seminis. It leads us to the ascent of the Kundalini and to SELF-REALIZATION.

• BLACK TANTRISM: There exists ejaculation of the Ens Seminis during the Maithuna to develop the KUNDARTIGUATOR ORGAN.

• GRAY TANTRISM: Working sometimes with ejaculation and sometimes without, working only for the enjoyment of sexual pleasure, but with the imminent danger of falling into BLACK TANTRISM.

So that on arriving at Arcanum 18 we find ourselves before the dilemma of To Be or Not To Be.

NO ONE SELF-REALIZES WITHOUT THE PRACTICE OF MAITHUNA. ONE MUST AWAKEN CONSCIOUSNESS BECAUSE WITHOUT IT ONE ABANDONS THE PATH, FOR ONE LACKS SERIOUSNESS.

FORMERLY THE SECRET OF THE ARCANUM A.Z.F. WAS NOT GIVEN TO ANYONE WHO HAD NOT AWAKENED CONSCIOUSNESS, SO THAT HE WOULD NOT ABANDON THE PATH.

Synthesis

HE WHO DEFEATS SATAN IN SEX, DEFEATS HIM IN ALL ASPECTS.

To draw out Cerberus the Dog signifies to liberate the Sexual Energy, to use it in transcendent form.

The eyes are the windows of the Soul. The Man who lets himself be caught by the eyes of all women must resign himself to live in the Abyss.

There are women who work upon men with witchcraft. Those victims must defend themselves incessantly with the conjurations of the Four and of the Seven.

We can defend ourselves from witchcraft by invoking our ELEMENTAL INTERCESSOR. He is called upon with all the heart at the time of going to bed.

Arcanum No. 19

This is the ARCANUM OF THE ALLIANCE, or of Victory. In past lessons we have already spoken of the Salt of Alchemy, which is the Physical Body; the Mercury, which is the Ens Seminis within which is the Ens Virtutis; and the Sulfur, which is the Fire, the Fohat, the Kundalini; the Mercury must transform into Sulfur, the Serpentine Fire which results from the Transmutation; these 3 are the passive instruments of the Magnum Opus.

We must seek the Positive Principle, the MAGNUS INTERIOR OF PARACELSUS, the Magical Principle. When the 3 elements Salt, Mercury, and Sulfur are found without work they are negative elements; but working in the Magnum Opus they become positive — this is the MAGICAL PRINCIPLE OR MAGNUS INTERIOR.

It is obvious that Arcanum 19 establishes a Great Alliance between man and woman, an Alliance to realize the Great Work.

That Great Alliance has many aspects. The Gospel speaks of the necessity of the Wedding Garment. Let us remember the wedding in which one did not wear the wedding garment, and they bound him and the Lord ordered him to be cast into the darkness where only the gnashing of teeth is heard (Matthew 22:1-14).

That famous garment is the Egyptian Sahu or the “To Soma-Heliakon” in Latin — that is, the Body of Gold of the Solar Man, the Wedding Garment for attending the Banquet of the Paschal Lamb. So it is necessary to understand that to have that body the Great Alliance is needed, the work in the Ninth Sphere between Man and Woman.

Just as here below there is a Great Alliance, to attain Illumination another Great Alliance is needed, up there.

• Divine Spirit, ATMAN.

• Human Soul, MANAS.

• Spiritual Soul, BUDDHI.

The two Souls must be fused: the Masculine Human Soul with the Feminine Spiritual Soul. This is not achieved without having eliminated the I and having eliminated the Body of Desires. The two Souls must be one.

This is the Great Alliance between the Medieval Knight and Lady; this we find in the books of Chivalry, “the Romancero,” the Ballads, Count Roland, the Minstrel Troubadours. The Knight who fights for his Lady is the Human Soul; the Lady is the Spiritual Soul. The Knight must fight for his Lady; otherwise he remains without her.

To arrive at total illumination, the Knight must integrate himself totally with his Lady and fight for her at every moment until developing THE LOTUS OF THE 1,000 Petals. In the Great Matrimony or Alchemical Wedding of Manas-Buddhi, the Buddhi gives the Illumination; without him the Sahasrara Chakra of 1,000 petals cannot have complete development.

With the matrimony a sparking is produced and Illumination comes; this is the result of the Great Alliance. That divine spark upon the Pineal Gland gives Illuminated Intuition, together with the Polyvidence. It is the total triumph.

Illuminated Intuition is better than Clairvoyance. The Spiritual Sun is what counts. The Sun of Midnight guides and orients us. “Expect everything from the West, expect nothing from the East.” The Sirius Sun is the Central Sun, gravitational point of the Milky Way.

The goal of our studies is to enter the Absolute. For this we must emancipate ourselves from all the Laws of the Seven Cosmoses that govern us.

With the Alliance we are liberated from:

• The 96 Laws of the Abyss (TRITOCOSMOS).

• The 48 Laws of Man (MICROCOSMOS).

• The 24 Laws of the Earth (MESOCOSMOS).

• The 12 Laws of the Solar System (DEUTEROCOSMOS).

• The 6 Laws of the Galaxy (MACROCOSMOS).

• The 3 Laws of the Firmament (AYOCOSMOS).

• The 1 Law of the Solar Absolute (PROTOCOSMOS).

And we enter the Absolute.

The arrival at the Absolute is strewn with renunciations and death. One must renounce Omnipotence and even Omniscience to enter the Absolute.

Synthesis

THE PHILOSOPHICAL STONE IS THE SEMEN.

He who practices Sexual Magic every day is working with the Philosophical Stone.

ALL THAT IS NEEDED TO WORK WITH THE PHILOSOPHICAL STONE IS TO HAVE A GOOD WOMAN.

Arcanum No. 20

THE HIEROGLYPH OF THIS ARCANUM IS THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD. It is necessary to concentrate ourselves well upon Resurrection, which has many phases, many aspects. Above all, in order for there to be Resurrection it is necessary that there be Death; without it there is no Resurrection; it is necessary to comprehend that from Death issues Life — “Death is the crown of all.” “THE PATH OF LIFE IS FORMED WITH THE PRINTS OF THE HOOVES OF THE HORSE OF DEATH.”

Everything that exists in life is subject to death; in everything there exists something of Mortality and something of Immortality. I wish to tell you that Mortality and Immortality are very relative; even God himself who is Immortal is, in the long run, Mortal.

It is necessary to analyze what is understood by God; God is “THE ARMY OF THE VOICE,” is “THE GREAT WORD”; truly Saint John said: “In the beginning was the Verb, and the Verb was with God and the Verb was God.”

God is the VOICE OF THE ELOHIM, the Chorus of the Masters who initiate the Mahamanvantara (Cosmic Day) — that is God. When the night of the Pralaya (Cosmic Night) arrives, it ceases to exist for the Universe. THEY DIE FOR THE UNIVERSE AND ARE BORN FOR THE ABSOLUTE. For this reason it can be said that God also Dies. After the Cosmic Night, at the New Dawn of the Cosmic Day, they emerge again from the Absolute.

Let us now concentrate upon the constitution of Man; to be Man in the most complete sense of the word, one needs to have or possess Solar Bodies. We have already spoken sufficiently of the Egyptian Sahu, which is the same Wedding Garment of the parable, of the one who sat at the table of the Lord without the Wedding Garment and whom the Master ordered to be cast into the darkness. So that we ourselves, without the Wedding Garment or Solar Bodies, also cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven. It is logical that he who does not possess the Solar Bodies is dressed in the Lunar Bodies, which are cold, spectral, diabolic, tenebrous.

A Man dressed in LUNAR BODIES is not Man; he is an Intellectual Animal, which is a superior animal; the error of humanity is to believe themselves Men, but they are not. Let us recall the story of Diogenes and his lantern, who sought a Man and did not find one. Only a Kuthumi, Master Morya, Saint Germain, etc., are Men; here what abound are Intellectual Animals.

The first thing that must be manufactured in the FORGE OF THE CYCLOPS is the true Astral Body, becoming immortal in the World of the 24 Laws. Next we need to manufacture the Solar Mental, governed by the 12 laws; he who manufactures it is immortal in the World of the 12 Laws. Next one must manufacture the Body of the Conscious Will and become immortal in the World of the 6 Laws.

He who manufactures his Solar Bodies must pass through several deaths. We need that within us the Solar Adam, the Abel of the Bible, be born. To make oneself immortal one needs to possess the Solar Bodies.

If we wish to emancipate ourselves or take THE PATH ON THE RAZOR’S EDGE, THE PATH OF THE REVOLUTION OF THE CONSCIOUSNESS, we must descend into the Ninth Sphere of Nature; this has nothing to do with the foregoing. To descend into the Ninth Sphere is to enter into revolution, to revolutionize ourselves against the Cosmos, against Nature, against everything; and thus is how we manufacture the Solar Bodies and incarnate the Real Being, transforming ourselves into a Twice-Born.

“Verily, verily I say to you, that if you are not born again you shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.” The Celestial Adam is dressed in the Solar Bodies; he must pass through various deaths, kill the I.

We bring from the past that Multiplicity of I’s; within the human being there does not exist true individuality, and those I’s personify: Laziness, Gluttony, Lust, Anger, etc.; that Ego which is dressed in the Lunar Bodies is the Lunar Adam, the one of Sin; we need that within us the Solar Adam be born.

The Twice-Born finds himself before two paths, that of the Right and that of the Left. He who decides to dissolve the Ego takes the path of the right to transform himself into an Ineffable Being; those who do not decide to dissolve the Ego take the path of the left and become diabolical beings (a Hanasmussen is an abortion of the Cosmic Mother); but that is not all — one must destroy the seeds of the I’s, bathe in the waters of the Lethe in order to forget all the evil deeds of the Ego, afterward in the waters of the Eunoe to strengthen the Virtues, and be confirmed in the Light.

Up to this point all the work corresponds to the planet Earth; Innocence has been attained here; but there remain the shells of the Lunar Bodies, and these must be destroyed in the Lunar Hells. One must destroy the Demon APOPI or “Body of Desires,” who preserves Sexual Desire and Desire of every kind. This APOPI is a terribly perverse Demon and is destroyed in the Lunar Hells, before ascending to the Lunar Heaven.

Later one continues the work on the planet Mercury, where one must destroy the “Animal Mind” or Demon HAI, which is the Diabolical Animal Mind. Such a vehicle is no more than a Demon, and one must go to destroy it in the Atomic Hells of Mercury.

The Death of the Demon APOPI, the frightful monster of the appetites, signifies tremendous super-efforts, super-works; only thus does one succeed in destroying the Demon APOPI and the Demon HAI.

THE ADAM OF SIN must die; it is necessary that all that we have of terrestrial, animal, die; IN ORDER TO RESURRECT IN THE HEART OF OSIRIS. He who has manufactured the Solar Bodies no longer needs to bear that burden of desires and appetencies; one must put them to death through tremendous purifications.

Osiris signifies beyond the depths, beyond the Desires and the Mind. When we return to Father Osiris, Mother Isis, and Innermost Horus, the triad is complete, perfect, Self-realized. This is the Resurrection of the Dead, for here we have Death and Resurrection.

I was Reincarnated in the sacred land of the Pharaohs during the dynasty of Pharaoh Khefren. I knew thoroughly the Ancient Mysteries of Secret Egypt, and verily I say to you that I have never been able to forget them.

There are two classes of mummies: one of them corresponds to the dead whose cadavers were submitted to the processes of mummification, and the other class to the dead in a state of “CATALEPSY.”

There was a very special secret concerning mummification; they had to remove the brain, viscera, and heart, and these were preserved in sacred vessels; and in the place where the cavity of the heart remained, they would put the symbol of the Sacred Golden Cow and the Attributes of Hathor. The bodies were preserved thanks to the fact that the Egyptians maintained the Etheric Body. They used very wise bandages over the Chakras, on the palms of the hands, on the curvature of the feet. Bee honey helps to preserve the mummy; and over it Elemental Geniuses were set to guard the mummy, and they themselves were placed under the protection of the Genie of the Earth, KEB.

Although my words may seem enigmatic and strange, truly I say to you that my Physical Body did not die, and nevertheless it went to the sepulchre. There is another type of mummies, that of catalepsy. My case was certainly not an exception; many other Hierophants went to the sepulchre in cataleptic state.

That this very special type of mummies continue alive and without any nourishment, but with all their natural faculties in suspense, is something that in no way should surprise us. Remember that toads during winter, buried in the mud, lie cadaver-like without any nourishment, but in spring they return to life. Have you heard talk of hibernation?

Egyptian Catalepsy goes much further; in addition it is wisely combined with Magic and Occult Chemistry.

It is obvious that my Soul escaped from the body; it is unquestionable that this very special type of mummification was not an obstacle for continuing my cycle of reincarnations. After my death, my Soul could definitely reincorporate into that mummy if TUM (the Father) so wished.

Then such a body would come out of the cataleptic state definitively, and my Soul dressed in that flesh could live like any person, traveling from country to country. I would return to eat, drink, live under the light of the Sun, etc., etc. Said mummy would be definitively taken from the sepulchre through the Fourth Dimension.

Aztec and Egyptian Wisdom was Atlantean and in turn Lemurian. The Lemurians and Atlanteans were giants; they built the great pyramids of Egypt and of San Juan de Teotihuacan.

The disciple who lets himself fall must afterward struggle greatly to recover what is lost.

Arcanum No. 21

This Arcanum is the FOOL OF THE TAROT or “Transmutation.” It has been confused with Arcanum 22, which is the “CROWN OF LIFE.”

Arcanum No. 21 can be represented with the inverted pentagonal star, which represents Black Magic.

It is emphatically affirmed in esoteric schools that we have a Luminous Astral Body. This is very debatable, because the Astral Body must be manufactured in the Ninth Sphere through the transmutations of the H-SI-12.

What ordinary people possess is the Body of Desires, which is confused with the Astral Body; this is a grave error, a tremendous mistake, because THE BODY OF DESIRES IS NOT THE ASTRAL BODY.

In the Egyptian Mysteries that body is known as APOPI; this is the Demon of Desire. Such a demon is frightfully malignant, and to think that everyone has it — everyone is malignant; in order to cease being so, only through the efforts and super-efforts of this path will we cease to be Demons.

Mr. Leadbeater describes the Mental Body as a marvelous yellow body, with a resplendent Aura; everyone mentions the Mental Body saying that it is sublime; but when one studies one discovers that it is not THE AUTHENTIC MENTAL BODY; the authentic one must be manufactured with the transmutations of the H-SI-12 — a precious body that does not come from Adam. So that the Mental Body that the people have is another Demon, which in the Egyptian Mysteries is known as the Demon HAI, which is terribly perverse, who must be killed in accordance with the Egyptian Mysteries, and decapitated in the Sphere of Mercury.

In Theosophy they speak to us of the Causal Body; and man does not have the Causal Body but rather the demon of Ill Will, called NEBT in the Egyptian Mysteries.

The Demon of Desire, the Demon of the Mind, and the Demon of Ill Will are the Three Furies of whom Classical Mythology speaks; they are the three assassins of Hiram-Abiff; the Three Traitors who crucified the Christ: Judas, Pilate, and Caiaphas; the Three Traitors whom Dante finds in the Ninth Circle: Judas, Brutus, and Cassius.

To incarnate the Real Being, one must manufacture the Solar Bodies through the transmutation of the H-SI-12 and transform ourselves into true Men; but on arriving at this state one must dissolve the Ego so as not to become a Hanasmussen with double center of gravity — for example, Andramelek.

A Hanasmussen is a Master of the Black Lodge and of the White Lodge. In the East some sects give them the name of Marut, and some Muhammadan sects render cult to them; these worked in the Forge of the Cyclops but did not dissolve the Ego; then they are abortions of the Cosmic Mother.

Arcanum No. 21 is the Failure or Fool of the Tarot; “Transmutation” indicates that one must transmute. He who works in Self-realization is exposed to commit follies; one must work with the Three Factors of the Revolution of the Consciousness:

• TO DIE.

• TO BE BORN.

• SACRIFICE FOR HUMANITY.

The Dissolution of the Ego is necessary, because this is no more than a sum of tenebrous entities.

We have arrived at the conclusion that every human being must dissolve the Ego; one must fry the seeds and afterward bathe in the Lethe to put an end to the memories of the past; and after confirmation in the Light, then he is received by the White Brotherhood, there he signs the papers and afterward is shown that he must take care, from that instant he must rend the Veil of Isis which is in Sex.

IF THE WOMAN DOES NOT AGREE WITH THE MAITHUNA, let her not work; let the man do it in silence, and vice versa; IF THE MAN DOES NOT AGREE TO WORK IN THE MAITHUNA, let the woman do it in Silence.

The most difficult thing is the destruction of the Lunar Bodies; he who dissolves the Ego has well-prepared ground; thus the man or the woman who are already old must take advantage of their time to dissolve the Ego, to awaken Consciousness, to attain Illumination. WHILE THE MAN OR WOMAN WHO ARE MARRIED MUST WORK IN THE NINTH SPHERE.

One is not alone; one is assisted by Father-Mother; she assists one like the Mother who watches over her son, and He also; but if one violates the oath of Chastity, the fall comes, and his Mother abandons him, and he remains submitted to sorrow and bitterness.

In Arcanum 21 the Danger is indicated with precision by the Crocodile. THE MADNESS, THE ERROR, IS TO STRAY FROM THE PATH.

Synthesis

Our unmarried disciples of both sexes can practice transmuting their Sexual Energy with their Rune OLIN.

Practice

• The disciple, in a firm standing position, will make various rhythmic inhalations and exhalations.

• As he inhales the air, he must unite his imagination and his will in vibrant harmony, to make the Sexual Energy ascend through the two ganglionic cords of the Medulla as far as the Brain, the space between the eyebrows, the Neck, and the Heart, in successive order.

• Then the disciple will exhale the breath, firmly imagining that the Sexual Energy has been fixed in the Heart.

• On exhaling the breath, the disciple will vocalize the Mantram “THORN” thus: THOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNN.

• With the practices of the Rune OLIN, we must perform various movements of the arms.

• The disciple must place the right hand on the waist.

• He will extend both hands toward the left side, the left hand somewhat higher than the right, stretching the arms, forming an acute angle with the trunk.

• Place both hands on the waist.

Thus is how our unmarried disciples of both sexes can transmute their Sexual Energy.

Sexual Energies are also transmuted with the Aesthetic Sense, with the love of Music, of Sculpture, and with long walks, etc.

The unmarried one who wishes to have no sexual problems must be absolutely pure in thought, word, and deed.

Arcanum No. 22

This Arcanum is The Crown of Life, the return to the Light, the incarnation of Truth within us.

The Apocalypse says: “BE FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH AND I WILL GIVE THEE THE CROWN OF LIFE.” Indubitably this deserves to be studied profoundly. Let us recall The Crown of the Saints. In the Pineal Gland exists the Church of Laodicea; in the times of the Hyperboreans there existed a virgin with that name who carried the offerings as far as Delos or Delphi, in Ancient Greece.

This Arcanum represents a crown that has many radiations; this is the SAHASRARA CHAKRA, situated in the Pineal Gland. When the Sacred Fire of the Kundalini reaches the Pineal, it sets in motion that lotus of 1,000 petals.

Going more deeply, we must know that Mother Kundalini comes to wed the Holy Spirit in the Pineal Gland. The Holy Spirit is the Third Logos or Vulcan of Greek Mythology; he is the Mahachohan in Tibetan. The Kundalini develops, evolves, and progresses within the Aurora of the Mahachohan. Thus, in the Pineal Gland the Sacred Tattva of Shiva-Shakti vibrates intensely — that is, the Divine Mother Kundalini and the Third Logos (Tattva is the vibration of the Ether).

Absolute Holiness cannot be attained until one completely puts an end to the Three Traitors who assassinated Hiram Abiff, who is the Master builder of the Temple of Solomon:

• SEBAL: DEMON OF DESIRE (APOPI, JUDAS).

• HORTELUT: DEMON OF THE MIND (HAI, PILATE).

• STOKIN: DEMON OF ILL WILL (NEBT, CAIAPHAS).

• THE OBJECTIVE OF OUR STUDY IS TO CEASE BEING DEMONS.

• JUDAS IS THE DEMON OF DESIRE: He is a terribly perverse demon; everyone has him; and we are all demons, and to cease being so corresponds only to the Initiatic Mysteries — we must begin by recognizing that we are demons.

• PILATE IS THE DEMON OF THE MIND: He always washes his hands and will continue washing them.

• CAIAPHAS IS THE DEMON OF ILL WILL: He who does not do the Will of the Father is disobedient; ONE MUST DO THE WILL OF THE FATHER HERE AND IN THE INTERNAL WORLDS.

“Those who are asleep must do the Will of the Father.” The Will of the Father is done:

IF THERE IS RIGHT THINKING.

IF THERE IS RIGHT FEELING.

IF THERE IS RIGHT ACTING.

If we do something “crooked” or mistaken, it is not the Will of the Father.

In conclusion, one must totally eliminate the Ego, leaving no Subjective Element within, and remain in Pure Spirit like Gautama the Buddha — for this reason he is called the Great Illuminated One; and to attain this one must pay, and the price of this is one’s own life.

One must forget the vanities of the world and dedicate oneself to the Great Work, to working, working, and working until attaining it.

This is not a matter of Evolution or Involution; these are two Cosmic Laws of Nature. One must manufacture the Solar Bodies and dissolve the Ego; I speak to you from what I have experienced, not from theories; I know the Egyptian Mysteries, the Tibetan Mysteries, the Mysteries of Lemuria because I was on the continent Mu, the Hyperborean Mysteries. If the path is explained it is so that it may be followed. One can only teach with competence.

Synthesis

I, SAMAEL AUN WEOR, the authentic and legitimate Avatar of the New Era of Aquarius, declare that all the sciences of the Universe are reduced to Kabbalah and Alchemy.

He who wishes to be a Magician must be an Alchemist and Kabbalist.

There are Black Magicians who teach the disciples a Negative Sexual Magic, during which they ejaculate the Seminal Liquor.

Those Phallic Cults were practiced by the wicked Canaanite Black Magicians, and the Sorcerers of Carthage, of Tyre and Sidon; the Lemur-Atlantean Black Magicians practiced it to ingratiate themselves with the Demons.

Those cities were reduced to dust and all those wicked ones penetrated into the Abyss.

When man spills the semen, he gathers from the submerged worlds millions of Demonic Atoms which infect our Brahmanic cord and sink us into our own Atomic Hells (the same for the Woman if she reaches Orgasm).

With Sexual Magic, the Three Breaths of the Pure Akasha are reinforced.

However, if the man ejaculates the Semen, those Three Breaths will make the Kundalini descend downward, toward the Atomic Hells of Man. That is the Tail of Satan.

No disciple must spill even one drop of Semen.

Here I deliver to humanity the key of all the empires of Heaven and of Earth. Because I DO NOT WISH TO SEE ANY LONGER THIS SAD HUMAN ANTHILL SUFFERING SO MUCH.

”

Just as here below there is a Great Alliance, to attain Illumination another Great Alliance is needed, up there. - Divine Spirit, ATMAN. - Human Soul, MANAS. - Spiritual Soul, BUDDHI.

Chapter 26: ARCANA 13, 2, 3 AND 14

Now certain combinations of the Arcana shall be studied.

In Kabbalah we shall constantly have to do with the Hebrew letters. These initial letters refer to the WORD OF THE MASTER MASON, which by oath cannot be revealed. One can speak about the three initial letters separately.

In the first place, it refers to the word which corresponds to: Death and Resurrection; “Hiram Abiff” means that the Spirit separates from Matter. It signifies that the flesh separates from the bones. For this reason it is said that one must Die in order to Resurrect; if one does not Die, one is not Born.

In the second, it is the construction that follows destruction. As we are now, we must be destroyed. We are all demons, because we have the terrible Demon APOPI of the Egyptian Mysteries, which is the Body of Desires badly confused with the Astral Body — which one does not have, which must be manufactured in the Forge of the Cyclops, in Sex.

Then we have the Animal Mental Body; this is worse — it is the Demon HAI of the Egyptian Mysteries; this must be destroyed and decapitated. See that there is no peace on the face of the Earth; one lives constantly in war, fornication, adulteries, vengeances. This Mental Body has nothing Angelic.

The Causal Body we do not have; we must manufacture it in the Forge of the Cyclops; in its place we have the Demon of Ill Will — that is the one who says “so-and-so dislikes me…”

These three Demons are not absent from any gospel; in Buddhism they figure as the Three Furies, the famous Mara. We must understand that we are Demons, and start from zero, place ourselves in our position; we need the Great Destruction of ourselves, the Death of the I, the Destruction of the Seeds and the Lunar Bodies.

“That which has been born of the Father is in Putrefaction.” This signifies that the Christ is Dead, that he is in Putrefaction; for this reason it is said that each one is a Living Sepulchre. It is said that he is dead because he does not live in any of us.

The Son must be born in us and then liberate himself, live all the Drama and then ascend to the Father. That which has been born of the Father lives in the Son; he is born of the Ens Seminis and lives in the Christ.

The Pure Waters of Life are the basic element of Regeneration. When the Buddha was meditating, struggling against the Three Furies, “Mara” unleashed a storm and the water was about to drown the Buddha, when a serpent appeared and went beneath the seated Buddha, and that Serpent coiled three and a half times; as the water rose, the Serpent did too; she represented the Divine Mother, and he did not drown.

WITHOUT THE WATERS OF LIFE, REGENERATION IS NOT POSSIBLE AND THE SON OF MAN COMES FORTH FROM THOSE WATERS OF LIFE.

It is good to comprehend deeply the esotericism of these sacred things, but understanding it truly. Let us remember the fish; it is life that is born and dies in the waters. Let us recall the case of the Fish Dari of the Chaldeans; it represents the same — the Christ coming forth from within the Waters. The Son of Man being born from among the Waters.

• THE FIRST LETTER IS FAITH — MEM.

• THE SECOND LETTER IS HOPE — BETH.

• THE THIRD LETTER IS CHARITY — NUN.

The first letter is Death and Regeneration; see what an intimate relation exists between Death and Water. Arcanum 13, which is Death, is related to the Waters; it is impossible without the Transmutation (Arcanum 14) of the Waters, to arrive at the Second Birth.

One must die, and the foundation of Death is in the Sexual question. In Sex is Death and in Sex is Life. After arriving at the Second Birth one must eliminate Sex. Let us recall the phrase: “Lead me from the Darkness to the Light”; Death leads to Immortality, from the Unreal to the Real.

All of this must be realized by the Master, and he realizes it WHEN HE FINDS THE LOST WORD. This is the word that succeeded in Resurrecting Hiram Abiff; it is the Verb, the Word of Light or the Superior Teaching that the Initiate receives, by means of which he attains the Magisterium. It is clear that the Arcanum A.Z.F. is the modus operandi, likewise for the Destruction of the Ego.

Arcanum 13 therefore signifies Death and Resurrection; it is related with Tantrism (Arcanum 14).

The second letter, Arcanum 2, the House of the Spirit, is related to the Sanctum Sanctorum which signifies the Consciousness, the Philosophical Stone, without which there can be no Transmutation. It is necessary to manufacture the Solar Bodies; “one cannot put new wine (the Intimate Christ) into old wineskins” (the Lunar Bodies). It is necessary to manufacture the Solar Bodies to contain that Sacred Wine.

In Arcanum “2” is the Philosophical Stone with which all Transmutations are realized; one must chisel the Stone, without which one cannot obtain Sexual Transmutation. This signifies that one must work hard; this Arcanum 14, Transmutation, indicates to us.

Thus, in the Resurrection or the elevation to the Mystery the following are necessary:

• TO DENY ONESELF — DEATH.

• TO TAKE UP HIS CROSS — RISING TO THE MAGISTERIUM.

• TO FOLLOW THE CHRIST.

In Arcanum No. 14 one sees the Sacred “N” (NUN); it is the Fish of Life which is born and dies in the Waters, arriving at the light; let us recall the Multiplication of the Fishes. If we do not descend to destroy the Ego, we shall not be able to be raised in the Magisterium, even if we arrive at the Second Birth.

“It is necessary to descend in order to ascend”; in Arcanum No. 3 exists the Victory both Material and Spiritual…

Arcanum No. 3, the Divine Mother, the Kundalini, is the Goddess of the Verb; she is Hadit, the Winged Goddess; “The Lost Word,” is the Universal Language. In the Bible, the famous Banquet of Nebuchadnezzar.

”

The second letter, Arcanum 2, the House of the Spirit, is related to the Sanctum Sanctorum which signifies the Consciousness, the Philosophical Stone, without which there can be no Transmutation.

Chapter 27: ARCANA 7, 8 AND 9

The Arcana “7,” “8,” and “9” are “THE THREE DEGREES OF THE MASTER.” They are the TOOLS OF WORK IN THE GREAT WORK.

In Arcanum No. 7 we find the Chariot, emblem of Triumph; Arcanum No. 8 is Justice, emblem of the Equilibrated Force in all directions; Arcanum No. 9 is the Hermit, the emblem of the HIDDEN CROSS and of its search; all the aspirants search for it — but more profoundly we know it is the Ninth Sphere, Sex.

Arcanum 7 is QUALITIES AND CAPACITIES indispensable for the Magisterium; by means of self-dominion, one must learn to dominate oneself, to self-control, in order to arrive someday at Mastery, at the Magisterium of Fire. If we observe Arcanum 7 carefully, the Chariot is drawn by two Sphinxes, one White and one Black; the yoking of Inferior Nature is necessary, symbolized by the two Sphinxes that draw the Chariot. The yoking signifies dominating, controlling the passions, yoking the beast. The Chariot is our own life. The two Sphinxes signify the Pair of Opposites, Hate and Love, Light and Darkness.

Arcanum No. 8 considered carefully signifies Vigilance, Justice; the Sword upward signifies Rectitude; we need to be upright in our Thoughts, our Words, and our Works. The left hand of the woman holds the Scale of Equity, Equilibrium, Precision; that represents the Scale of Justice.

Just as Arcanum No. 7, the Triumph, is attained by the self-dominion of the Chariot of Life, dominating oneself, knowing how to manage one’s own life — that is, intelligently directing the Chariot of Life — so too Arcanum 8 represents Rectitude, Justice, Firmness, Equilibrium; Firmness the Sword; Equilibrium the Scale; that firmness must become the very axis of life, the central point of gravitation of life and of our existence.

As for Arcanum No. 9, it is the Hidden Light which is manifested in the Initiation; the Powers are vivified; to be able to see this Light one must become a Master, and it is clear that every aspirant must arrive at the Magisterium.

Arcana 7, 8, and 9 are tools of work. Arcanum 7 teaches us to Control ourselves. Arcanum 8 teaches us Justice and Rectitude of our Thoughts, Words, and Works; with Rectitude man must live.

Arcanum 9 speaks to us of the Hermit who carries in his right hand the Staff, and in the left the Lamp; the interesting thing is to throw it upward — to raise it is vital, TO ILLUMINATE THE PATH OF OTHERS.

Arcanum 9 is Fundamental; it is that of the Authentic Magisterium. Arcanum 9 is in all the Cosmos; observe the construction of the Universe and you will see Arcanum 9 in all parts we find 9 ABOVE, 9 BELOW.

9 + 9 = 18, 1 + 8 = 9.

”

Arcanum 7 is QUALITIES AND CAPACITIES indispensable for the Magisterium; by means of self-dominion, one must learn to dominate oneself, to self-control, in order to arrive someday at Mastery, at the Magisterium of Fire.

Chapter 28: ARCANA 11 AND 12

It is evident and patent that the Trunks or Tables of the Law, where the prophet Moses wisely inscribed by the mandate of Jehovah the 10 Commandments, are in reality nothing other than a double spear of the Runes, upon whose phallic significance much documentation exists.

It is not amiss to emphasize the transcendental idea that two more commandments exist in the Mosaic Esotericism. I wish to refer to the Eleventh and Twelfth Commandments, intimately related with the Arcana 11 and 12 of Kabbalah.

The No. 11 has its classic expression in the Sanskrit Dharman Chara: “DO YOUR DUTY.” Remember, brother reader, that you have the duty to SEEK THE NARROW, STRAIT, AND DIFFICULT PATH WHICH LEADS TO THE LIGHT.

Arcanum No. 11 of the Tarot illuminates this duty: the marvelous force that can dominate and subdue the Lions of adversity is essentially Spiritual. For this reason it is represented by a beautiful woman who, without apparent effort, opens with her delightful hands the terrible jaws of Leo, the frightful puma, the furious lion.

With the 11 the 12th Commandment of the Law of God is related and intertwined, illustrated by Arcanum 12: “LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE.”

For the Light, which constitutes the Essence, bottled up within the I, to be able truly to shine and resplend, it must liberate itself; and this is only possible through the Buddhist Annihilation; by dissolving the Ego.

We need to die from instant to instant, from moment to moment; only with the death of the Ego does the new come.

Just as Life represents a process of gradual and ever more complete exteriorization or extroversion, so likewise the Death of the I is a process of gradual interiorization, in which the individual consciousness, the Essence, slowly divests itself of its useless garments, just like Ishtar in her symbolic descent, until remaining entirely naked in itself, before the Great Reality of life free in its movement.

The Lance, Sex, the Phallus, also plays a great role in numerous oriental legends as a marvelous instrument of Salvation and Liberation, which wisely brandished by the longing Soul, allows it to reduce to cosmic dust all those cavernous entities which in their sinful aggregation constitute the Myself.

The Sexual Energy is highly explosive and marvelous. VERILY I SAY TO YOU THAT HE WHO KNOWS HOW TO USE THE WEAPON OF EROS (THE LANCE, SEX), CAN REDUCE THE PLURALIZED I TO COSMIC DUST.

To pray is to converse with God, and one must learn to pray during coitus; in those instants of supreme joy, ask and it shall be given to you, knock and it shall be opened to you.

He who puts heart into supplication and beseeches his Divine Mother Kundalini to grasp the Weapon of Eros, will obtain the best of results, because She will then help him destroy the Ego.

PRE-CONDITION FOR ALL ELIMINATION IS INTEGRAL COMPREHENSION OF THE DEFECT WHICH ONE WISHES TO ELIMINATE.

”

He who puts heart into supplication and beseeches his Divine Mother Kundalini to grasp the Weapon of Eros, will obtain the best of results, because She will then help him destroy the Ego.

Chapter 29: ARCANA 6, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 AND 20

Arcanum No. 20 is that of the Resurrection; this is very important. It is said in occult esotericism that Hiram Abiff, or Chiram Osiris, is dead in the Ninth Sphere, in the heart of the Earth. It is said that to arrive at the sepulchre one must cross the Nine Vaults, the Nine Strata of the interior of our planetary organism. That Ninth Sphere is in our human organism — it is Sex; if there the Inner Christ is dead, only there can he resurrect.

This of Resurrection is something grand. Jonah was in the belly of a whale “Three Days”; Jesus resurrected on the third day. This is symbolic; that Great Whale of Jonah is the same Earth, our same planetary organism. The Three Days are symbolic, for they are “Three” periods of Esoteric Work before arriving at the Resurrection of the Intimate Christ within us:

• FIRST DAY: IT IS THE SECOND BIRTH.

• SECOND DAY: IT IS THE KILLING OF THE THREE TRAITORS.

• THIRD DAY: IT IS THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD.

There we find the Three Factors of the Revolution of the Consciousness:

• TO DIE.

• TO BE BORN.

• SACRIFICE FOR HUMANITY.

Lobsang Rampa says that he was placed in a sarcophagus for three days as if dead. This is symbolic; there is no school that does not speak of these Three Days; various pseudo-occultist schools emphasize that one must spend 3 days in a sepulchre to attain Self-realization. Lobsang Rampa says that “in that interval of three days, his body lay as dead in the sepulchre, and he learned many things in the Superior Worlds.” This is an Initiatic, symbolic ceremony and delivers to us a teaching; and one must differentiate between symbolic teaching and lived teaching.

Jesus was in the Sepulchre and on the 3rd day resurrected, teaching, instructing, and lived 11 years (so says the PISTIS SOPHIA). In archaic times this of the Three Days in the Sepulchre was known; in Samothrace, among the Mayans, the Egyptians, the Aztecs, they have in their traditions that of the sepulchre and the three days. Aspirants to Adeptship were taken to volcanoes or chambers or closed sepulchres which had the form of a Fish; let us remember that the Coffin of Osiris in ancient Pharaonic Egypt, in the sun-drenched country of Kem, had the form of a fish. This reminds us of OANNES (a very old tradition lost in the deep night), who passes THREE DAYS WITHIN HIS SARCOPHAGUS.

Old traditions lost in the terrifying night of all centuries tell that during this interval, while the body of the Initiate lay like a corpse within the sarcophagus, his Soul, absent from the dense human form, experienced directly in the Superior Worlds the Ritual of Life and Death. Masonry has not forgotten its Coffin.

There is something that demonstrates that Lobsang Rampa and other authors do not possess Integral Knowledge — and it is the fact that they confuse the funereal symbol of the Three Days with the crude reality which lies in the depths. It is as if we were to confuse ourselves with the flag, which is a symbol; like confusing oneself with the two columns of Jachin and Boaz, which are an esoteric symbol that represents man and woman; thus too the funereal box is a symbol — formerly it was customary to keep the Initiate three days in the sepulchre; but everything has its limit, and beyond that limit we must develop the knowledge; it is necessary to go deeper into reality.

What does that of Jesus rising from the sepulchre mean? What does that of Jonah being three days in the belly of a whale and being vomited up mean? “This evil and adulterous generation demands a sign; but no sign shall be given it, except the sign of Jonah the Prophet. For just as Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights, so shall the Son of Man be in the earth three days and three nights” (MATTHEW 12:39-40).

This is symbolic; Jonah says that he submerged in the Waters and to the depths of the mountains he descended; the earth closed and he cried out within the depths of the earth to Jehovah. That the Abyss closed is very significant; going deeper, let us recall the “Leviathan,” that marvelous fish that lives beneath the waters of the sea (ISAIAH 27:1), (JOB 41:1), (PSALMS 74:14), (PSALMS 104:26).

This is the FIRST DAY when we submerge within ourselves; it is that day in which we must all descend to the Subterranean Worlds in order to manufacture the Bodies which permit us the Second Birth. The First Day is that in which we must descend to the bottom of the Tartarus, as the law of the Leviathan.

The SECOND DAY: It is necessary to return to the bottom of the Abyss to remain there and destroy those creations which we ourselves made with our bad actions.

It is indubitable that the Superlative Transformation is only possible with the Resurrection of the Intimate Christ in the heart of man. This is the culminating phase of the THIRD DAY, the instant in which the earth or the brilliant Constellation of the Whale vomits up Jonah, the Prophet, so that he may go forth to teach in Nineveh and be able to return to the Father. Upon being vomited up Jonah becomes a Resurrected Master and they sent him to teach; for this reason he has the right to the Ascension. Every exaltation is preceded by a humiliation; THE HUMILIATION IS THE DESCENT INTO THE INFERIOR WORLDS.

This of the Three Days will answer for us something more profound; let he who has understanding understand. It is necessary to comprehend and meditate. The Leviathan, that which moves through the waters, is the true Master who has been Decapitated and again decapitated. Who could decapitate the Leviathan? Who could harm one who has already received all the harm and has already Resurrected? Let us transform ourselves into Resurrected Masters.

One thing is the Cross and another the works which must be performed in the Ninth Sphere; the Symbol and the Work go correlated.

ALL THE ESOTERIC ADVANCE OF THESE STUDIES IS BASED ON KABBALAH.

Arcanum No. 13 and 14 have not been well understood; for this reason it is necessary to go deeper into these studies. In Pharaonic Egypt, Typhon tearing apart the body of Osiris had the form of a Fish; Isis, the Divine Mother, the spouse-sister of Osiris, upon attempting to resurrect him, found only “13 PIECES”; the 14th was the Phallus, which was not found. The 13 is Death; it is obvious that Osiris must spend Three Days in the sepulchre, and these Three Days equate to the Three Stages for the Decapitation of the Ego.

Isis finds 13 pieces and does not find the 14th, the Phallus, because every Lustful Element had Died in “Him”; he reached a total death; only thus can Osiris present himself victorious in the Temple of Maat (Truth); only thus can he make the Negative Confession because he no longer has an Ego; he has the Pure Spirit.

This of Osiris in the sepulchre is very important; he is well dead, and only on the third day is he resurrected:

GENERATION.

DEGENERATION.

REGENERATION.

The extraordinary and marvelous form of the old coffin of Osiris naturally brings to mind by its similarity and Initiatic meaning another fish, represented magnificently by the Semitic Alphabet in the letter SAMECH, which occupies the fifteenth Kabbalistic place — which indubitably symbolized in the beginning the famous Constellation of the Whale, under whose regency we must realize all the works in the Ninth Sphere.

That constellation is related with the event of Jonah and has to do with the measures of the coffin of Osiris which has the form of a fish; because for this Osiris had to descend into the black and horrific precipice, he had to pass the three periods in the belly of the whale.

This is intimately related with Arcanum No. 13; that is, three descents into the Inferior Worlds, and each descent covers a time of three days in the Holy Sepulchre. Jonah worked three days, three periods with Sex; on the third day the whale vomited him up, and he went to preach.

The Whale corresponds to the Kabbalistic Arcanum No. 15; this invites us to reflection — Arcanum 15 is Typhon Baphomet, the Devil, Animal Passion. THIS INVITES US TO COMPREHEND WHAT THE WORK IN THE NINTH SPHERE (SEX) IS.

If one fails in Arcanum 13, 14, 15 — if one is not capable of working within the whale — then it is natural that we go down to the precipice, with Arcanum No. 16, which is the Smitten Tower. The Initiate who spills the Vase of Hermes will be struck down by Arcanum No. 16 of the Constellation of Aries; he will fall from the tower by the Ray of Cosmic Justice, like the inverted Pentalpha, with the head downward and both legs upward.

Arcanum No. 17, the Star of Hope, is for the individual who has never been struck down, for him who is capable of reaching the Venustic Incarnation. If we add this Arcanum it gives us 1 + 7 = 8, the Number of Job: patience, trials, sufferings.

If we add Kabbalistically the figures of Arcanum 15 of the Constellation of the Whale, we have the following result: 1 + 5 = 6; six in the Tarot is the Arcanum of the Lover; man between Virtue and Passion. Learn to polarize yourselves wisely with Arcanum 6 and you will have conquered the frightful 15 of the CONSTELLATION OF THE WHALE.

Remember, beloved reader, that in the center of the chest you have a very special magnetic point that captures the waves of Light and Glory coming from your Human Soul. She is TIPHERETH, Arcanum 6 of the Tarot. Listen to her; obey the orders that emanate from her. Act in accordance with those intimate impulses; WORK IN THE FORGE OF THE CYCLOPS WHEN SHE SO WISHES. IF YOU LEARN TO OBEY YOU WILL NOT PERISH IN THE BELLY OF THE WHALE.

Behold! you have become a fish working among the Chaotic Waters of the first instant. NOW YOU WILL COMPREHEND WHY THE COFFIN OF OSIRIS HAS THE FORM OF A FISH.

It is unquestionable that the Seven Days or Periods of the Genesis of Moses are synthesized in those Three Days and Three Nights of Jonah within the belly of the whale; an Initiatic ceremony repeated by the Great Kabir Jesus within the Holy Sepulchre.

Jonah, the Prophet, working under the regency of the Constellation of the Whale, plunged in the deep well of the Universe, in the Ninth Sphere (Sex), realizes his work in three days or periods more or less long:

• FIRST DAY: He descends to the Inferior Worlds to manufacture the Solar Bodies, the Wedding Garment of the Soul, and to establish within himself a Permanent Center of Consciousness. To descend to the Hells of Nature is necessary; it is a period of elimination until destroying Seth, until attaining the Second Birth.

• SECOND DAY: He descends to the Abyss to confront frightful sacrifices; he uses the Creative Energy for the destruction of all subjective elements of the Ego.

This work is performed in the Lunar Inferior Worlds, in the Sub-Lunar Regions of which the esoteric books speak; then the Three Traitors of the Intimate Christ are radically eliminated: Judas, Pilate, and Caiaphas; and the Atoms of the Secret Enemy; one must disintegrate the Dragon of Darkness, the Red Dragon. One continues with the Secondary submerged Beasts, in which the Consciousness is bottled up.

• THIRD DAY: One must return to the bottom of the Abyss to put an end to innumerable deeds of past lives.

One continues dying in the Spheres of Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, etc. On the third day the Black Waters are transformed into resplendent Light, destruction of ancient atoms that culminates in the Mystical Resurrection.

These three periods culminate each with:

• The first period of time concludes with the SECOND BIRTH of which the Great Kabir Jesus spoke to the Rabbi Nicodemus.

• The second period ends when the Consciousness is liberated, and with the Marvelous Wedding. Nothing less than the betrothal of the Human Soul with the WALKYRIE OR GUINEVERE, the Queen of the Jinas who is the Feminine Spiritual Soul, the Buddhi within which burns the Flame of the Spirit, the Flame of Brahma. To the women we shall say that then they are wed to the Eternal Beloved.

• The third period concludes magisterially with the Resurrection of the Intimate Christ within our own heart. And it is logical that the Ascension to the Superior Worlds comes.

For now one only receives information. ONE MUST LIVE IT AND EXPERIENCE IT DIRECTLY. DO NOT STRAY BUT REMAIN FIRM.

Study the Prayer of Jonah; it is precious; in it are found magnificent Esoteric Arcana.

Study the Book of Jonah in the Old Testament; investigate all those archaic informations about those Three Days. They must be comprehended very deeply, because many are unaware of the work in the Subterranean World.

Truly, this matter is related to Card 12 of the Tarot, because 1 + 2 = 3 (Three Days); there the man hangs by his feet forming a cross with them, his hands are in a triangle and the head downward; with this it indicates to us that he descends into the Pit of the Abyss. This is the Apostolate.

There are “22 Arcana” because it is THE TRUTH. THE TETRAGRAMMATON, THE IOD-HE-VAU-HE, and there must be 22 Arcana to clarify it.

”

It is indubitable that the Superlative Transformation is only possible with the Resurrection of the Intimate Christ in the heart of man.

Chapter 30: KABBALAH

The Initiatory Path in the Arcana of TAROT AND KABBALAH

Chapter 31: THIRD PART

“There are two classes of Kabbalists: Intellectual Kabbalists and

Intuitive Kabbalists. The Intellectual Kabbalists

are Black Magicians; the Intuitive

Kabbalists, White Magicians.”

— Samael Aun Weor

Chapter 32: THE ABSOLUTE

“You shall be the artist of your own BEING; in that great work no one demands of you time or price. You have for growing: space; and as goal: the ABSOLUTE.”

— GARGHA KUICHINES

THE ABSOLUTE is the Being of all beings. He is that which is, that which always has been, and that which always shall be. He expresses Himself as Absolute Abstract Movement and Repose. He is the cause of Spirit and of Matter, but is neither one nor the other. The Absolute is beyond the Mind; it cannot comprehend Him, so it falls to us to intuit His nature.

The Absolute is beyond conditioned life. Beyond that which is relative; He is the Real Being (He), He is the Non-Being because He bears no concordance with our concepts, but He is the “Real Being.” All this because we do not comprehend Him intellectually; for us He is like a Non-Being, although He is the Real Being of the Being.

BEING is better than existing, and the reason of being of the Being is the Being himself. In the Absolute is our legitimate existence, which is a Non-Being, a Non-Existence to human reason.

The Absolute is not a God, nor an individual Divine or human; it would be absurd to give form to that which has no form; it would be a nonsense to attempt to anthropomorphize Space.

Certainly the Absolute is Unconditioned and Eternal Abstract Space, far beyond the Gods and men. The Absolute is Uncreated Light that casts no shadow anywhere during the deep night of the Great Pralaya. The Absolute is beyond time, number, measure, weight, causality, form, fire, light and darkness. Nevertheless, He is Fire and Uncreated Light.

Chapter 33: THE ABSOLUTE HAS THREE ASPECTS:

AIN which is the same SAT in Sanskrit — that is, the UNMANIFEST ABSOLUTE.

AIN SOPH which is the second aspect; here there already exists certain manifestation. There remain all the creatures when the Great Pralaya (Cosmic Night) arrives, because they have no right to penetrate into the Ain — that is, into the Unmanifest Absolute, beyond thought, the Verb, the atom, sound, beyond all that has form, number, weight, etc.

The third aspect is the AIN SOPH AUR according to the Hebrew Kabbalah; there is found the First Cosmos, the purely Spiritual Protocosmos, the Solar Absolute formed by multiple Spiritual Suns.

Practice

Meditate upon the Absolute and upon the Pralaya, putting the Mind quiet and in silence.

”

Practice Meditate upon the Absolute and upon the Pralaya, putting the Mind quiet and in silence.

Chapter 34: THE AIN

The Deep and Blissful Space is certainly the Incomprehensible “Seity,” the mystical, ineffable root of the Seven Cosmoses, the mysterious origin of all that we know as Spirit, Matter, Universes, Suns, Worlds, etc.

That, the Divinal, the Space of Happiness, is a tremendous reality beyond the Universe and the Gods; “That” has no dimension whatever, and truly is that which always shall be and has been; it is Life that pulsates intensely in every atom and in every Sun.

Let us now speak of the Great Ocean of the Spirit. How can it be defined?

Certainly it is Brahma, the first difference or modification of “That” before which the Gods and men tremble.

“That” — is it Spirit? Verily I say to you that it is not. “That” — is it Matter? Certainly I tell you that it is not.

“THAT” IS THE ROOT OF SPIRIT AND OF MATTER, but it is not the one or the other.

“That” transcends the laws of number, measure and weight, side by side, quantity, quality, before, behind, above, below, etc.

“That” is the immutable in profound Divinal abstraction, Light that has never been created by any God or any man, that which has no name.

Brahma is spirit, but “That” is not spirit. Ain, the Unmanifest, is Uncreated Light.

The Absolute is Life Free in its movement, is Supreme Reality, Abstract Space which expresses itself only as Absolute Abstract Movement, Happiness without limits, total Omniscience. The Absolute is Uncreated Light and Perfect Plenitude, Absolute Happiness, Life Free in its movement, Life without conditions, without limits.

In the Absolute we pass beyond Karma and the Gods; beyond the Law. Mind and Individual Consciousness serve only to mortify our lives. In the Absolute we have neither Mind nor Individual Consciousness. There we are the Unconditioned Being, free and absolutely happy.

The Absolute is Life Free in its movement, without conditions, without limitations, without the mortifying fear of the Law, life beyond Spirit and Matter. Beyond Karma and sorrow.

Chapter 35: THE ABSOLUTE IS ABSOLUTE ABSTRACT SPACE, ABSOLUTE ABSTRACT MOVEMENT, ABSOLUTE FREEDOM WITHOUT CONDITIONS, WITHOUT RESERVATIONS, ABSOLUTE OMNISCIENCE AND ABSOLUTE HAPPINESS.

We must put an end to the process of the I in order to enter the Absolute. The human I must enter the house of the dead. He must go to the common grave of astral remains. He must disintegrate in the Abyss so that the Being may be born, full of majesty and power.

Only impersonal life and the Being can give us the Legitimate Happiness of the Great Life Free in its movement.

To battle, to struggle, to suffer, to liberate oneself at last, to lose oneself like a diamantine drop within the Ocean of Uncreated Light, is certainly the highest yearning.

Before entering the Absolute one must prepare oneself in the Region of Atala; there the beings are colorless; there lives a man who could not enter the Absolute because he invented two words: Good and Evil, instead of using Evolutionary or Involutionary; and he created Karma. Humanity has been harmed with those two words; about everything one says that is Evil or that is Good; and there everything that invites the study of the Internal Values is becoming stagnant; for this reason that Holy Man is waiting.

WE MUST HELP THE PEOPLE CHANGE THOSE TWO WORDS FOR EVOLUTIONARY AND INVOLUTIONARY.

Within the bosom of the Absolute there exists a great exaltation; the Paramarthasatyas exalt themselves little by little and pass beyond all possible comprehension.

Chapter 36: THE AIN SOPH

From AIN SOPH emanates all Creation, but the Creation is not equal in its essence or in power to the Ain Soph, who, by means of his Divine Uncreated Light, radiates from himself an intelligence, a power, which, if originally participates in the perfection and infinitude of its creator, by deriving from Him has a finite aspect. Kabbalah calls this first spiritual emanation of the Ain Soph, the ineffable Ancient of Days, who is the Being of our Being, the Father and Mother within us.

Since Ain Soph cannot express himself in the limited Physical World, he expresses himself by means of his “TEN SEPHIROTH.”

In Ain Soph there exists a strange evolution that neither the Gods nor men know. Beyond the Innermost is the Logos or Christ. Beyond the ineffable Ancient of Days is Ain Soph or the Absolute. His exhalation is called the Cosmic Day (Mahamanvantara); his inhalation, the Cosmic Night (Great Pralaya).

During the Cosmic Night the Universe disintegrates into Ain Soph, and exists only in his mind and in that of his Gods; but what exists in his mind and in their mind is objective in the Absolute Abstract Space.

Before the flaming heart of the Solar System of Ors, in which we live, move, and have our Being, began to pulse intensely after the Great Pralaya, Time did not exist, for it lay asleep within the profound bosom of the Absolute Abstract Space.

If at the end of the MAHAMANVANTARA, the Seven basic Dimensions of the Universe are reduced to a simple mathematical point which is lost like a drop within the Great Ocean, it is evident that then Time ceases to exist.

The worlds, like men, animals, and plants, are born, grow, age, and die. Everything that breathes under the Sun has a defined time.

Ancient Wisdom says that Brahma, the Father, the Ocean of the Universal Spirit of Life, upon the arrival of the Great Night (that which the Hindustanis call Pralaya or dissolution of the Universe), submerges into the Absolute Abstract Space for 7 Eternities.

The 7 Eternities signify “Aeons” or periods of time totally defined, clear, and precise. We have been told that a Mahakalpa, Great Age, Cosmic Day, has a total of 311,040,000,000,000 years. It is obvious that a Mahapralaya, Cosmic Night, equates to the same quantity of time.

When the Deep Night of the Creators of this Solar System arrives, they will be absorbed into the bosom of the Absolute; a group of moons will remain. The Planets, the Sun, the Earth, and life will have disappeared with all the Virginal Sparks; to each of us corresponds a Virginal Spark; to each living creature corresponds a Virginal Spark, and these will be absorbed into the Absolute for 7 Eternities.

If we observe Selene (our Moon) we shall see that it is a cadaver; it had rich life, seas, volcanoes; there are other moons that orbit around Mars, Saturn, etc., which one day had life. In the past MAHAMANVANTARA, which was a Padma or Lotus of Gold, there was on the Moon a humanity, 7 races, and it died.

Before the dawn of the MAHAMANVANTARA the Universe slept in the terrible Darkness.

At the beginning or dawn of each Universe, the Eternal Black Light or Absolute Darkness becomes Chaos.

The Darkness is in itself Father-Mother; the Light their Son, says Ancient Wisdom.

It is evident that the Uncreated Light has an unknown origin, absolutely unknown to us.

In no way do we exaggerate if we emphasize the idea that such origin is the Darkness.

Let us now speak of the Borrowed Light, Cosmic, Secondary; it is obvious that whatever its origin, and however beautiful, in the depths it has a transitory, Mayavic character.

The ineffable DEEP DARKNESS constitutes, then, the Eternal Matrix in which the origins of the Light appear and disappear.

It is said that the Absolute is Darkness; from the Darkness comes forth the Light. THE UNCREATED LIGHT OF THE ABSOLUTE issues from the Deep Darkness of the Great Night; from that Darkness which has no Light, springs forth the Uncreated Light. If they were to place us there, we would see nothing more than an abyss and deep darkness; but for the inhabitants of the Absolute (Paramarthasatyas), that Darkness is Uncreated Light — created neither by a man nor by a God — where an inexhaustible Happiness reigns, an inconceivable Bliss.

There are tremendous geniuses of evil like Belial, Bael, Moloch, etc., terrible Masters; knowing that the Light comes forth from the Darkness, they hurled themselves into the Abyss, even knowing that they were going to involve. From the Abyss comes the Light; for this reason it falls to us to descend into the Darkness to destroy the “I,” Satan, to wrest the Light from the Darkness.

THE GODS THROUGH FIRE EMERGE FROM THE ABYSS AND ARE LOST IN THE ABSOLUTE.

Light and Darkness are phenomena of the same unknown Noumenon, profound, inconceivable to reason.

Whether we perceive more or less of the Light that resplends from the Darkness depends upon our Power of Spiritual Vision. The Absolute is profound Darkness for human eyes, and Uncreated and terrible Light for the Ineffable Hierarchy of the Paramarthasatyas.

“What is light for us is darkness for certain insects, and the Spiritual Eye sees Illumination where the normal eye only perceives obscurity.”

The Universe sunk in Pralaya after the MAHAMANVANTARA, dissolved into its primordial element, necessarily reposes within the Deep Darkness of Infinite Space.

It is urgent to comprehend deeply the profound mystery of the Chaotic Darkness. From Chaos comes the Cosmos, and from the Darkness springs Light; let us pray profoundly…

It is written, and with words of fire in all the sacred books of the world, that Chaos is the seed-bed of the Cosmos.

Nothingness, the Chaos, is certainly and without the least doubt the Alpha and Omega, the Principle and End of all Worlds that live and pulse in the unalterable Infinity.

In the Aitareya Brahmana, precious masterly lesson of the Rig Veda, it is truly demonstrated to satiety the tremendous identity between those luminous ideas of Brahmins and Pythagoreans, for both base themselves upon mathematics.

In the cited Hindustani volume frequent allusion is made to the Black Fire, to the Obscure Abstract Wisdom, Absolute unconditioned and nameless Light.

That Abstract Seity, the primordial Zero-Aster of the Parsees, the Nothingness saturated with life, That… That… That.

God in himself — that is, the ARMY OF THE VOICE, the Verb, the Great Word — dies when the Great Pralaya arrives, the Cosmic Night, and is reborn terribly divine at the dawn of the Divine MAHAMANVANTARA.

The RADICAL ABSOLUTE ZERO in Transcendent Arithmetic, the Abstract Space in Geometry, the Unknowable Seity (not to be confused with Deity, which is different), is not born, does not die, does not reincarnate.

From that Unknowable Whole or Radical Zero emanates, at the beginning of any Sidereal Universe, the Pythagorean Monad, the Gnostic Father-Mother, the Hindu Purusha-Prakriti, the Egyptian Osiris-Isis, the Dual Protocosmos or Kabbalistic Adam-Kadmon, the Teos-Chaos, of the Theogony of Hesiod, the Ur-Anas or Chaldean Fire and Water, the Semitic Iod-Heve, the Persian Peruh-Ama, the One-Only, the Buddhist Aunadad-Ad, the Ruach Elohim or Divine Spirit of the Lord floating upon the Genesiac Waters of the first instant.

In the DEEP NIGHT only Darkness filled the boundless All; for Father, Mother, and Son were once more One, and the Son had not yet awakened for the Wheel and his pilgrimage upon it.

It is written and with characters of unmistakable fire in the Book of the Great Life that at the end of the Mahamanvantara, Osiris (the Father), Isis (the Mother), and Horus (the Divine Spirit), integrate, mix, and fuse themselves like 3 Fires to form one sole Flame.

Let us seek OSIRIS, ISIS AND HORUS within ourselves in the unknown depths of our own Being.

It is obvious that Osiris, Isis and Horus constitute in themselves the Monad, the Dyad, and the Triad of our Internal Being.

Have you heard of Brahma? He is in himself Father-Mother-Son.

In each new Cosmic Aurora the Universe resurrects like the Phoenix Bird from among its own ashes.

At the dawn of each Mahamanvantara, the Monad unfolds anew into the Dyad and the Triad.

At the dawn of the new Cosmic Day, after the Deep Night, the Son, the Triad, Horus (the Divine Spirit of each one), emanates from himself his Essence, his Mystical Principles, the Wheel of Samsara, with the healthy purpose of acquiring Diamond Soul.

Ah! how great is the joy of Horus on acquiring the Diamond Soul! Then he is absorbed into his Divine Mother, and she, fusing with the Father, form one sole diamantine Flame, a God of resplendent inner beauty.

Space is full of Universes; while some systems of worlds emerge from the Deep Night, others arrive at their twilight — here cradles, beyond sepulchres.

At the beginning of the dawn of the MAHAMANVANTARA, Heterogeneity unfolds from Homogeneity; the Army of the Voice (God) is reborn, to once more Create.

When the Dawn of the Cosmic Day was announced, the Universe trembled with terror. In the Consciousness of the Gods and of Men a strange and terrifying twilight arose, and the Uncreated Light began to depart from their Consciousness.

Then the Gods and men wept like children before THE DAWN OF THE GREAT COSMIC DAY. The Causal Logos of the first instant reminded the Gods and men of their karmic debts, and began the pilgrimage of man from one world to another, as far as the Earth, where he presently lives subject to the “Wheel of Birth and Death,” until he learns to live governed by the Law of Love.

The Universe emerged from the bowels of the Absolute and the Uncreated Light sank into a nostalgic sunset. Thus the Gods and men descended into the shadows of the Universe.

The Sacrifice was consummated, and Kabbalah registers it in its Major Arcanum No. 12. If we add the number 12 to itself it gives us 3. One is the Masculine Principle, Fire. Two the Feminine Principle, Water, the Semen. Three the Universe, the Son.

The present Cosmic Day is symbolized by a blue pelican, opening its breast with its beak to drink of its own viscera, from which emanated all that has been created.

”

Then he is absorbed into his Divine Mother, and she, fusing with the Father, form one sole diamantine Flame, a God of resplendent inner beauty.

Chapter 37: THE AIN SOPH AUR

Each Universe of the Infinite Space possesses its own CENTRAL SUN, and the sum of such Spiritual Suns constitutes the Ain Soph Aur, the Protocosmos, the Solar Absolute.

The Solar Absolute is formed by multiple Spiritual, Transcendental, Divinal Suns.

The emanation of our “OMNIMERCIFUL AND SACRED SOLAR ABSOLUTE” is that which Helena P. Blavatsky denominates “The Great Breath” to itself profoundly unknown…

Much has been said about the Sacred Solar Absolute, and it is obvious that every Solar System is governed by one of those Spiritual Suns. Truly they are extraordinary Spiritual Suns, sparkling with infinite splendors in space. Radiant Spheres that astronomers could never perceive through their telescopes.

This means that our set of worlds possesses its own Sacred Solar Absolute, just as do all the other Solar Systems of the unalterable Infinity.

The PROTOCOSMOS or First Cosmos is infinitely Divinal, ineffable; in it there exists no mechanical principle; it is governed by the Single Law.

If you reflect profoundly upon the Solar Absolute, you will see that beyond exists the most complete Freedom, the most absolute happiness, because everything is governed by the Single Law.

Unquestionably in the Sacred Solar Absolute, in the Spiritual Central Sun of this System in which we live, move, and have our Being, there exists no mechanicity of any kind, and therefore, it is obvious, the most complete Bliss reigns there.

It is unquestionable that in the Spiritual Central Sun, governed by the Single Law, exists the unalterable felicity of the Eternal Living God; unfortunately, as we move farther and farther away from the Sacred Solar Absolute, we penetrate into worlds more and more complicated, where automatism, mechanicity, and sorrow are introduced.

Obviously in the 2nd Cosmos of Three Laws, the AYOCOSMOS (Planets, Suns, Firmament), the bliss is incomparable, because the Materiality is less. In that region any atom possesses within its Interior Nature only Three Atoms of the Absolute.

How different is the 3rd Cosmos, the MACROCOSMOS (our Galaxy, the Milky Way), governed by Six Laws; there materiality increases because any of its atoms possesses in its interior Six Atoms of the Absolute.

We penetrate into the 4th Cosmos, the DEUTEROCOSMOS (our Solar System), governed by Twelve Laws. There we find Matter denser, owing to the concrete fact that any of its atoms possesses in itself Twelve Atoms of the Absolute.

If we examine carefully the 5th Cosmos, the MESOCOSMOS (the Planet Earth), governed by Twenty-four Laws, we shall see that any of its atoms possesses in its Intimate Nature 24 Atoms of the Absolute.

Let us study in detail the 6th Cosmos, the MICROCOSMOS (Man), governed by 48 Laws. We shall find that in any atom of the human organism we perceive within it, by means of Divine Clairvoyance, 48 Atoms of the Absolute.

Let us descend a little more and enter into the kingdom of the crudest materiality, the 7th Cosmos, the TRITOCOSMOS (the Inferior Worlds), beneath the crust of the Planet in which we live, governed by 96 Laws; we shall discover that in the 1st Infra-dimensional Zone, density has increased frightfully because within its Intimate Nature there are 96 Atoms of the Absolute.

In the 2nd Infernal Zone, every atom possesses 192 Atoms of the Absolute; in the 3rd, every atom possesses in its interior 384 Atoms of the Absolute, etc., etc., etc., materiality thus increasing in frightful and terrifying form.

On submerging within ever more complex Laws, we obviously become independent in progressive form from the Will of the Absolute, and fall into the mechanical complication of all this Great Nature. If we wish to reconquer Freedom, we must liberate ourselves from so much mechanics and so many laws, and return to the Father.

Patently we must fight tirelessly to Liberate ourselves from the 48, 24, 12, 6 and 3 Laws in order to truly return to the Sacred Solar Absolute of our System.

”

Blavatsky denominates “The Great Breath” to itself profoundly unknown… Much has been said about the Sacred Solar Absolute, and it is obvious that every Solar System is governed by one of those Spiritual Suns.

Chapter 38: THE AIN SOPH PARANISHPANA

Within man exists a Divine Ray. That Ray wishes to return to its Star, which has always smiled upon him. The Star that guides our Interior is a SUPER-DIVINE ATOM of the Absolute Abstract Space. The Kabbalistic name of that atom is the Sacred Ain Soph.

The Ain Soph is our Atomic Star. That Star shines full of glory in the Absolute Abstract Space. From that Star emanate Kether (the Father), Chokmah (the Son), and Binah (the Holy Spirit) of every man. The Ain Soph, the Star that guides our Interior, sent its Ray to the world to make Consciousness of its own Happiness.

Happiness without Consciousness of its own Happiness is not Happiness.

The Ray (the Spirit) had Mineral, Vegetable, and Animal Consciousness. When the Ray incarnated for the first time in the savage and primitive human body, it awakened as man and had SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS of its own Happiness. Then the Ray could have returned to the Star that guides its Interior.

Unfortunately, within the profound bosom of the maelstrom of the dense jungle, Savage Desire gave birth to the I. The Instinctive Forces of Nature trapped the innocent Mind of man, and the false mirage of Desire arose.

Then the I continued reincarnating in order to satisfy its Desires. Thus we were submitted to the Law of Evolution and Karma.

Experiences and pain complicated the I; Evolution is a process of complication of energy. The I has strengthened and complicated itself with experiences. Now it is too late. Millions of persons have been transformed into monstrous Demons. Only a tremendous Revolution can save us from the Abyss.

When man dissolves the I, then there is total Revolution.

MAN CAN CEASE TO SUFFER WHEN HE IS CAPABLE OF DISSOLVING THE I. SORROW IS THE RESULT OF OUR EVIL WORKS.

Sorrow is of Satan (Psychological I), because he is the one who does the works of evil.

THE ABSOLUTE ABSTRACT SPACE, the Universal Spirit of Life, is Absolute Happiness, Supreme Peace, and Abundance.

Those who make of sorrow a mystic are masochists. Satan was and is the creator of sorrow. Sorrow is satanic. With sorrow no one can liberate himself. We need to be Alchemists.

WITH ALCHEMY THE I IS DISSOLVED; THE ROOT OF THE I IS DESIRE; DESIRE IS TRANSMUTED WITH ALCHEMY.

If you wish to annihilate Desire you must transmute. Sexual Desire is transformed into Will, and the Will is Fire. The Desire of Accumulation (Greed) is transmuted into Altruism. Anger (Frustrated Desire) is transmuted into Sweetness. Envy (Frustrated Desire) is transmuted into Joy for the Good of Others. The Words of Desire are transmuted into VERB OF WISDOM, etc., etc., etc.

Analyze all human Defects and you shall see that they have their seat in Desire. Transmute Desire with Alchemy, and Desire will be annihilated. Anyone who annihilates Desire dissolves the I. Anyone who dissolves the I is saved from the Abyss and returns to his Interior Star which has always smiled upon him.

Only with Holy Alchemy can we dissolve the I. The fundamental basis of Alchemy is the ARCANUM A.Z.F. The Angels, Archangels, Seraphim, Powers, Thrones, etc., are the exact result of tremendous Interior Revolutions.

We already passed through Involution (the descent of the Spirit into Matter). We already suffered horribly in Evolution (process of complication of the Energy). Now a Total Revolution is urgent (the Dissolution of the I). No one can be happy until he reaches his Interior Star. Only on the basis of Internal Revolutions do we return to the Super-divine Atom little by little; we pass through the Angelic, Archangelic, Seraphinic, Logoic States, etc., until at last the Ray will fuse with its Star, the AIN SOPH, which shines with Happiness.

The Abyss is terribly painful. The horrible antithesis of the Ain Soph is the Abyss, the Kliphoth of Kabbalah. The Kliphoth are atomic, Tenebrous ones of the Lunar Path.

Let us analyze the Divine Primordial Atom from which emanate the Ten Sephiroth of Kabbalah. If we Self-Observe we find:

• PHYSICAL BODY.

• ETHERIC OR VITAL BODY.

• ASTRAL BODY OR BODY OF DESIRES.

• ANIMAL MENTAL BODY.

• ESSENCE (Bottled up within the I; beyond is the Divine Triad which the human being has not incarnated).

• CAUSAL BODY, HUMAN SOUL, MANAS.

• BUDDHIC BODY, DIVINE SOUL.

• ATMIC BODY, THE INNERMOST.

The 5th and the 6th are related because the 5th is a fraction of the 6th. We have a fraction of the Human Soul incarnated, it is the Essence or Buddhata. Atman in himself is the Ineffable Being, that which is beyond Time, of Eternity without end of days; he does not die nor reincarnate (what returns is the Ego); he is absolutely perfect. Atman unfolds into the Spiritual Soul; she unfolds into the Human Soul which is the Superior Manas; the Human Soul unfolds into the Essence Buddhata. In total they are Principles, and that Essence which incarnates in its 4 vehicles dresses itself with them; it remains bottled up in the Psychological I, the Ego.

The Mental, Desire, Etheric, and Physical Body form the Personality. The Essence, on entering among the vehicles, remains bottled up in the Ego. What returns is a fraction of the Human Soul.

Beyond the Theosophical Triad there is a ray that unites us to the Absolute. That ray within each man is the Resplendent Dragon of Wisdom, the Inner Christ, the Sephirothic Crown. Kabbalah defines it thus:

• KETHER: The Ancient of Days.

• CHOKMAH: The Son, the Cosmic Christ.

• BINAH: The Holy Spirit.

The Sephirothic Crown is the First Triad that emanates from the Ain Soph.

In ultimate synthesis each one of us is no more than an Atom of the Absolute Abstract Space, the Ain Soph, which is secretly related with the Pineal Gland, the Sahasrara Chakra or Church of Laodicea.

We must make a specific differentiation between the Ain Soph and the Ain Soph Paranishpana: in the first case there exists no Interior Self-realization; in the second there does.

Any MAHATMA knows very well that before entering the Absolute he must dissolve the Solar Bodies; the day we are Liberated we leave, abandon all the vehicles.

Why do we Manufacture the Solar Bodies? Why do we Descend into the Ninth Sphere? If we must abandon the Solar Bodies. Why do something that will not be used? From each of such Christic Vehicles, on being dissolved, there remains a Seed-Atom. Patently in such vehicles there remain 4 Seed-Atoms. It is indubitable that such atoms correspond to the Physical, Astral, Mental, and Causal bodies.

It is obvious that the 4 Seed-Atoms are absorbed within the Super-Divine Atom Ain Soph Paranishpana together with the Essence, Spiritual Principles, Laws and the Three Primary Forces. Then comes the Deep Night of the Mahapralaya.

• SEED-ATOMS WITHIN THE AIN SOPH PARANISHPANA.

• PHYSICAL: SOLAR ASTRAL.

• SOLAR MENTAL: SOLAR CAUSAL.

• DIVINE SOUL: ATMAN.

• THE HOLY SPIRIT.

• THE SON: THE FATHER.

The Ain Soph without Intimate Self-realization does not possess the 4 Seed-Atoms; it is a Simple Atom of the Absolute Abstract Space, only with the Three Primary Forces of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

An Atom of a Master who has liberated himself is very distinct from an Atom Ain Soph without Self-realization. At the dawn of a Mahamanvantara, a Self-realized One unfolds his bodies, his germs entering into activity. He possesses the Solar Bodies; he Restores them if he wishes at any moment. Having Manufactured those bodies gives him Autonomous Consciousness.

The Ain Soph who possesses the Seed-Atoms can reincarnate at the hour he wishes, and remains dressed in his Solar Bodies. When he wishes to manifest, he emanates those Solar Seed-Atoms and appears at any part of space.

There is a formula that defines everything, and it is this:

C.O.N.H.

They are 4 Forces, the 4 Bodies of an Initiate. Four Bodies with which the Seity dresses when it wishes to manifest.

• C. Carbon: In ALCHEMY the letter “C” symbolizes the BODY OF THE CONSCIOUS WILL, the Carbon of Occult Chemistry.

• O. Oxygen: In Alchemy the letter “O” symbolizes the true SOLAR MENTAL BODY, manufactured in the Forge of the Cyclops, the Oxygen of Sacred Chemistry.

• N. Nitrogen: In Alchemy the letter “N” symbolizes the authentic SOLAR ASTRAL BODY, so different from the Body of Desire; it is obvious that the legitimate Sidereal Body is the Nitrogen of Occult Chemistry.

• H. Hydrogen: In Alchemy the “H” symbolizes the PHYSICAL BODY, the three-dimensional vehicle of flesh and bone.

In the Ain Soph Paranishpana are the 4 Bodies; from there emanate the bodies, with which the Seity dresses; and he manufactures them instantaneously — that is, the moment he wishes to work in a world for the GOOD OF HUMANITY, appearing as a SELF-REALIZED MASTER, Self-conscious, Lord of Life and of Death.

THE THREE PRIMARY FORCES:

• THE HOLY AFFIRMING THE FATHER.

• THE HOLY DENYING THE SON.

• THE HOLY CONCILIATING THE HOLY SPIRIT.

They Manifest through the Atoms C.O.N. (Carbon, Oxygen, Nitrogen); the H. (Hydrogen) is a force free from the other three; therefore it is the Physical Vehicle through which it serves as instrument to the Body of Will, the Mental, and the Astral.

We do not exaggerate if we emphasize the transcendental alchemical idea that an Ain Soph Paranishpana possesses within himself the 4 CONH SEED-ATOMS.

With these 4 Alchemical Atoms the Ain Soph Paranishpana rebuilds the Chariot of Merkabah (the Solar Bodies), to enter any Universe when necessary.

Let us not forget that Merkabah is the Chariot of the Centuries, the Celestial Man of Kabbalah.

As a sequence, as a corollary, we can and must affirm that those who have not realized the work in the Ninth Sphere (Sex) do not in reality possess the Chariot of Merkabah.

It is unquestionable that everything changes in the field of action of Prakriti due to the modifications of Traigunamayashakti, and that all human beings also modify ourselves in positive or negative form; but if we do not manufacture the Chariot of Merkabah, the Ain Soph will remain without Intimate Self-realization.

Those who have not eliminated Abhayan Samskara, the Innate Fear, will flee from the Ninth Sphere telling others that the work in the Forge of the Cyclops (Sex) is useless.

Those are the hypocritical Pharisees who strain at the gnat and swallow the camel, the failed ones who neither enter the Kingdom nor allow others to enter. TRULY SEX IS “STONE OF STUMBLING AND ROCK OF SCANDAL.”

”

When the Ray incarnated for the first time in the savage and primitive human body, it awakened as man and had SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS of its own Happiness.

Chapter 39: THE TREE OF LIFE

If we observe the Tree of Life, as it is written by the Hebrew Kabbalists, we see Ten Sephiroth. It begins with the Ancient of Days (Kether) which is at the highest place of the tree; then follows Chokmah, the Second Sephirah — that is, the 2nd Logos which is properly the Cosmic Christ or Vishnu; then comes Binah, the 3rd Logos, the Lord Shiva. Kether, Chokmah, and Binah are the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, just as it is drawn in the Tree of Life of the Hebrew Mysteries, thus taught the Rabbis.

KETHER, CHOKMAH AND BINAH are the Trimurti of Perfection; they are the Divinal Triangle, the beloved Father, the adored Son, and the most wise Holy Spirit.

After the Divinal Triangle there is an abyss, and after such abyss comes a Second Triangle formed by CHESED, the Fourth Sephirah which corresponds to the Innermost or Atman the Ineffable (speaking in the Sanskrit tongue); GEBURAH continues, the Rigor of the Law, the Fifth Sephirah, the Buddhi, the Divine Soul which is feminine; then follows TIPHERETH, the Sixth Sephirah, the Human Soul which is masculine.

By unfolding comes a Third Triangle, and it is represented by NETZACH, the Mind, the Seventh Sephirah; HOD continues, the Eighth Sephirah, the Astral Body; further below is YESOD, the Ninth Sephirah, the Principal Foundation of Sex, the Vital Foundation of the human organism, the Vital Body or Etheric Vehicle, the Lingam Sarira of the Theosophists.

Finally, we find at the lowest part of the Tree of Life MALKUTH, the Tenth Sephirah, the World or Physical Body, the body of flesh and bone.

The First Triangle is Logoic: Kether, Chokmah, and Binah. The Second Triangle is Ethical: Chesed, Geburah, and Tiphereth. The Third Triangle is Magical: Netzach, Hod, and Yesod. Malkuth, the Physical World, is a fallen Sephirah. The First Triangle, the Logoic, obviously has its Center of Gravity, which anyone can observe — it is the Divinal Father, the Ancient of Days, KETHER. He is the mathematical point in the Immense Space, Infinite, Unalterable. This triangle is the Triangle of the Father.

If we analyze the Second Triangle, we find that it is Ethical. Why do we call it Ethical? Because simply there Ethics prevails, Right Conduct; there we know the rigor of the Law; there we come to know good and evil — what is good and what is evil. This triangle is the World of the Pure Spirit, the Hindustani Trimurti of Atman, Buddhi, Manas. Obviously the Center of Gravity of this triangle is conspicuous at a single glance — it is the Human Soul; that Soul suffers, and the very human part within us remains, that is Tiphereth, which coincides with the Causal. This triangle is also called the Triangle of the Son; there we find that the Cosmic Christ, Binah, usually manifests himself through the Human Soul, the Tiphereth of Hebrew Kabbalah.

The 3rd Triangle, the Magical Triangle, formed by the Mind — that is, Netzach, the Astral Body or Hod, and the Etheric Body, that is, Yesod or Basic Sexual Principle of Universal Life — is very interesting. Why is it called Magical Triangle? Because indubitably it is in the Kingdoms of the Mind, of the Astral, and even in the Kliphoth or Inferior Worlds, that one exercises High Magic.

There is no doubt that in NETZACH we can find Hermetic Magic, and in Hod, Natural Magic. Other authors think differently; they believe that in NETZACH (the Mental World) is Natural Magic; I must dissent from them in this sense, because it happens that the Mind, properly speaking, is Mercurial. There are authors who do not agree with my concepts; they suppose it is Venusian; I regret to dissent from that class of concepts, for anyone can realize that the Mind is Mercurial. Thus, Hermetic Magic must be identified with Mercury, in the Mind; and as for Natural Magic, Ceremonial or Ritualistic Magic, etc., we can find it in the Astral World, in the Astral Body.

Where shall we find the Center of Gravity of the Magical Triangle? Obviously, it is found in Sex, because from there come Birth, Death, and Regeneration. Everything turns through Sex; that is, the Third Triangle has as Center of Gravity Sex — that is, YESOD, which is the Force of the Third Logos, the Sexual Potency.

In this way we have found that there are Three Basic Centers of Gravity in this entire Tree of Life: In the First Triangle is Kether, the Old One of the Centuries, the Center of Gravity of the 1st Logos. In the Second Triangle, Chokmah, the Cosmic Christ, the 2nd Logos has his Center of Gravity in the Human Soul, Tiphereth. In the Third Triangle, Yesod becomes the Center of Gravity of the Holy Spirit, the 3rd Logos; it is by means of the Sexual Force that life arises, that the Physical Body arises, and that all the organisms that have life arise.

MALKUTH is already the Physical World, which could not exist without the presence of Sex, since we are the children of a man and a woman. Thus, Yesod is the foundation of the 3rd Logos, the center where the Sexual Force of the 3rd Logos gravitates.

The trees of Eden are two: THE TREE OF THE SCIENCE OF GOOD AND EVIL, AND THE TREE OF LIFE. The Tree of the Science of Good and Evil is Sex, and this Tree of Knowledge is represented by the sexual Organs. The Tree of Life is the Being and is represented in our Physical Body by the Spinal Column.

Every true Cultural Doctrine must carefully study these two Trees. Because the study of one tree with the forgetfulness of the other gives an incomplete knowledge, which is useless.

WHAT USE IS IT TO STUDY THE BEING IF WE ARE IGNORANT OF SEX? Both trees are of Eden and even share their roots. These are the 2 Great Main Columns of the White Lodge: Wisdom and Love. Wisdom is the Tree of the Science of Good and Evil, and Love is the Tree of Life.

In ancient Egypt the Doctrine of the Two Trees was studied profoundly. The fatal shadow of the Tree of Life is the I. The fatal shadow of the Tree of Knowledge is Fornication. People take the shadows for reality.

“HE WHO PUTS AN END TO THE PROCESS OF THE I, REALIZES THE BEING IN HIMSELF.”

“HE WHO PUTS AN END TO FORNICATION IS TRANSFORMED INTO A CHRIST.”

“And also Jehovah God laid this command upon man: of every tree of the garden you may eat to your satisfaction. But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you positively will die.” (GENESIS 2:16-17).

“And the woman saw that the tree was good for eating, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and the tree desirable to attain Wisdom; and she took from its fruit and ate; afterward she gave to her husband when he was with her, and he began to eat it.” (GENESIS 3:6).

“And Jehovah God went on to say: Look, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and bad, and now in order that he may not reach out his hand and actually take fruit also from the Tree of Life and eat and live to time indefinite.”

“So he drove the man out, and set at the East of the garden Cherubim and the flaming blade of a sword that turned itself continually, to guard the way of the Tree of Life.” (GENESIS 3:22-24).

If man could have eaten of the delicious fruits of the Tree of Life, then we would now have “Fornicating Gods.” That would have been the curse of curses. The most terrible sacrifice. The impossible.

The Flaming Sword of Cosmic Justice turns blazing, menacing and terrible, guarding the Way of the Tree of Life.

From the Sephirothic Crown — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — was born the Innermost. The Innermost is enveloped in 6 Inferior Vehicles which penetrate one another forming Man. All the faculties and powers of the Innermost are the Fruits of the Tree of Life. When Man returns to Eden (by the same path he came forth), he will be able to eat of the Fruits of the Tree of Life. Then he will be able to see God face to face without dying; the lightning will serve as his scepter and the storms as carpets for his feet.

There exist 10 Waves of Life that penetrate and interpenetrate without confusing themselves; those 10 Eternal Emanations are the 10 Sephiroth of Kabbalah, the 10 Branches of the Tree of Life. Now we shall understand why God placed 10 fingers on our hands.

The 12 Senses of Man (7 Chakras or Churches + 5 Physical Senses = 12) are related with our Spinal Column. The Spinal Column is the physical exponent of the Tree of Life; the 12 Senses are the Fruits of the Tree of Life.

The Sephiroth

The 10 Sephiroth of universal vibration emanate from the Ain Soph, which is the Microcosmic Star that guides our interior. THE REAL BEING OF OUR BEING.

We speak of the 10 Sephiroth; in reality they are 12. The Ain Soph Aur is the 11th, the Ain Soph is the 12th, and its tenebrous antithesis is the Abyss.

SEPHIRAH — KABBALISTIC NAME — CHRISTIAN NAME — ATTRIBUTE — BODY

• Kether — Chayoth Ha Kadosh — Seraphim — Supreme Crown — Father

• Chokmah — Ophanim — Cherubim — Wisdom — Son

• Binah — Aralim — Thrones — Intelligence — Spirit

• Chesed — Hashmalim — Dominions — Love — Innermost

• Geburah — Seraphim — Powers — Justice — Divine Soul

• Tiphereth — Malachim — Virtues — Beauty — Human Soul

• Netzach — Elohim — Principalities — Victory — Mental Body

• Hod — Bnei Elohim — Archangels — Splendor — Astral Body

• Yesod — Cherubim — Angels — Foundation — Vital Body

• Malkuth — Ishim — Initiates — The Kingdom — Physical Body

They are 12 Spheres or Regions that penetrate and interpenetrate mutually without confusing themselves. The 12 Spheres gravitate around the central atom of the sign of the Infinite. In those 12 Spheres unfolds the Solar Humanity. We had already said that the sign of the Infinite is found in the center of the Earth, in its heart. The Sephiroth are atomic; the 10 Sephiroth may be reduced to three tables:

• TABLE OF THE QUANTA of the Radiant Energy that comes from the Sun.

• TABLE OF THE ATOMIC WEIGHTS of the elements of Nature.

• TABLE OF THE MOLECULAR WEIGHTS of the compounds.

This is Jacob’s Ladder, which goes from Earth to Heaven. All the Worlds of Cosmic Consciousness are reduced to three tables.

A Sephirah cannot be comprehended in one single region, for its nature is fourfold. For this reason the Kabbalists express themselves clearly in saying that there are Four Worlds.

• ATZILUTH: It is the Archetypal World, or World of the Emanations, the Divine World.

• BRIAH: It is the World of Creation, also called KHORCIA — that is, the World of the Steps.

• YETZIRAH: It is the World of Formation and of the Angels.

• ASSIYAH: It is the World of Action, the World of Matter.

Three Sephiroth of form are found in the Pillar of Severity (Binah, Geburah, Hod).

Three Sephiroth of Energy are found in the Pillar of Mercy (Chokmah, Chesed, Netzach).

And between those two pillars is the Pillar of Equilibrium, where the various Levels of Consciousness are (Kether, Tiphereth, Yesod, Malkuth).

The 10 known Sephiroth derive from Sephira, the Divine Mother who resides in the Heart-Temple; IO is the Mantram of the Divine Mother, and they are 10 Emanations of Prakriti — that is, the 10 Sephiroth.

KETHER is the FATHER in us, a Breath of the Absolute to itself profoundly unknown. Kether is the ANCIENT OF DAYS, and each of us is in the depths a blessed Ancient of Days. CHOKMAH is the Son, the Christic Atom in us. BINAH is the Mother in us, the Holy Spirit in us.

KETHER, CHOKMAH AND BINAH are our Sephirothic Crown.

The most beloved Father, the most adored Son, and the most wise Holy Spirit live in the depths of our Superlative Consciousness, awaiting the supreme instant of our Realization.

The Holy Spirit is our Divine Mother who wears a blue mantle and a white tunic of exquisite splendor.

The Mother carries in her hand a precious lamp; that lamp is the Innermost who burns in the depth of our hearts. The Innermost is contained in an alabaster vase, fine and transparent. That vase is our own Superlative Consciousness, is our Buddhi. THE INNERMOST is the Sephirah CHESED; the BUDDHI is the Sephirah GEBURAH. The Innermost and Buddhi express themselves through the Human Soul. THE HUMAN SOUL is TIPHERETH, the Will, the Beauty. Thus, the Innermost with his two Souls, the Divine and the Human, officiates on his throne, which is the Cerebrospinal 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 rest 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 10 fingers on our hands, 10 Sephiroth, and 10 Commandments.

When the Ancient of Days has realized the 10 Sephiroth within himself, he is transformed into Adam-Kadmon, the Celestial Man.

He who realizes the 10 Sephiroth within himself shines in the World of Light with ineffable Christic splendors.

When the Ancient of Days has realized the 10 Sephiroth within himself, they shine in the World of Light like precious gems, like resplendent stones, in the body of the Ancient of Days.

“He that has ears, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat of the Tree of Life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.” (REVELATION 2:7).

The 10 Sephiroth shine like precious stones in the body of the Ancient of Days. Thus is how we become the Celestial Jerusalem.

“And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every precious stone. The first foundation was Jasper; the second Sapphire; the third Chalcedony; the fourth Emerald.”

“The fifth Sardonyx; the sixth Sardius; the seventh Chrysolite; the eighth Beryl; the ninth Topaz; the tenth Chrysoprase; the eleventh Jacinth; the twelfth Amethyst.” (REVELATION 21:19-20).

The 10 Sephiroth are atomic. The 10 Sephiroth are the Holy City, the Jerusalem that comes to shine in the depth of our heart.

“In the middle of the plaza there and on either side of the river was the Tree of Life, bearing twelve fruits, yielding its 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 on their foreheads.”

“And there shall be no more night; and they need no lamp of a torch, nor light of the Sun; for the Lord God shall give them light; and they shall reign forever and ever.” (REVELATION 22:2-5).

When a man incarnates within himself his Sephirothic Crown, then the Ancient of Days will illumine him, and he shall reign forever and ever.

However, brothers of my Soul, verily I say to you, no one comes to the Father except through the Son. The Son is the Christic Atom in us; he is Chokmah, the Divine Christic Wisdom. The Gnosis that shines in the depth of our heart.

We must inundate all our vehicles with atoms of Christic Nature; we must form Christ within us to ascend to the Father, because no one comes to the Father except through the Son.

Although Christ is born a thousand times in Bethlehem, it serves no purpose if he is not born in our heart as well. One must form the Christ within us, to enter the gates of the city triumphant and victorious, on Palm Sunday.

CHRISTMAS is a Cosmic event that must be realized within each one of us. Christmas is absolutely individual. There is need for the Christ to be born in us; the Christmas of the Heart is urgent.

One must transform the Tree of the Science of Good and Evil into the Sacrificed Lamb of the Holy City.

“To him who overcomes, I will make a column in the Temple of my God, and he shall no more go out of it.” (REVELATION 3:12).

“Be faithful unto death and I will give thee the Crown of Life.” (REVELATION 2:10).

“I am the bread of life; I am the living bread; he who eats of my flesh and drinks of my blood shall have eternal life, and I will resurrect him on the last day. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood, abides in me and I in him.” (JOHN 6:48, 51, 54, 56).

Christ truly is a Sephirothic Crown of immeasurable Wisdom, whose purest atoms shine in Chokmah, the World of Ophanim.

That Sephirothic Crown (of immeasurable Wisdom) sent its Buddha, Jesus of Nazareth, who through innumerable reincarnations prepared himself in our terrestrial evolution.

It was in the Jordan that the Christic Crown, the Solar Logos, shone, penetrated into his BUDDHA JESUS of Nazareth. Here is the Mystery of the Double Human Personality, one of the greatest mysteries of Occultism.

When the Man receives his Sephirothic Crown, then the Ancient of Days illuminates him and leads him toward the Pure Waters of Life.

However, my brothers, no one comes to the Father except through the Son, and the Son is in the depth of the Ark of the Covenant, awaiting the instant of Realization.

THAT ARK OF THE COVENANT IS THE SEXUAL ORGANS. Only through Perfect Chastity can we form the Christ within us and ascend to the Father.

My brothers, I have already given you the Ark of the New Testament.

I have already taught you the Path of SEXUAL MAGIC.

“Then there was opened the Temple of God in Heaven, and there was seen the Ark of his Testament in his Temple, and there were formed lightnings and voices and thunders, and earthquakes and great hail.” (REVELATION 11:19).

Kether

Truly, each of us has in the depth of his Consciousness a VENERABLE ANCIENT; this is the First Logos. The Kabbalists denominate him Kether.

The Ancient of Days is androgynous — that is, man and woman at the same time. The first and last synthesis of OUR BEING. THE ANCIENT OF DAYS is the first emanation, terribly Divine, of the Absolute Abstract Space.

The Ancient of Days is original in each man, and is the Father; there are as many Fathers in Heaven as there are men on Earth.

The Ancient of Days is the Hidden of the Hidden; the Mercy of Mercies; the Goodness of Goodnesses; the root of our Being; the “Great Wind.”

The hair of the Ancient of Days has 13 ringlets. If we add them together we have 1 + 3 = 4; 1 is the Masculine Principle, Fire; 2 is the Feminine Principle, Water; the 3 is the Son of Creation, plus the Unity of Life equals 4; this is the Holy TETRAGRAMMATON. This is the name of the Eternal — IOD-HE-VAU-HE.

The beard of the Ancient of Days has 13 locks. That beard represents the Hurricane, the 4 Winds, the Breath, the Word. The 4 Winds are: IOD-HE-VAU-HE.

Arcanum 13 is the Ancient of Days. Only by overcoming Death can we incarnate the Ancient of Days. The funereal trials of Arcanum 13 are more frightful and terrible than the Abyss.

To realize the Ancient of Days within ourselves, we must totally realize within ourselves Arcanum No. 13.

We need a Supreme Death and a Supreme Resurrection to have the right to incarnate the Ancient of Days: only he who incarnates him has the right to wear internally the hair and beard of the Venerable Ancient.

Only in the presence of the Angels of Death, after emerging victorious from the funereal trials can we incarnate the Ancient of Days. He who incarnates him is one more “Old One” in Eternity.

The Mantram PANDER allows us to arrive at the Ancient of Days. This is possible with Profound Meditation. In the World of Atziluth there is a marvelous Temple where the majestic presence of the Ancient of Days is shown to us. The Ancient of Days dwells in the World of Kether; the Chief of that World is the Angel METATRON. That angel was the prophet Enoch; with his help we can enter the world of Kether; the disciple who wishes to penetrate into Kether during his states of Profound Meditation will beseech the Angel METATRON and will be helped.

The Aztec Goddess of Death has a crown of 9 human skulls. The crown is the symbol of the Ancient of Days. The skull is the microcosmic correspondence of the Ancient of Days in Man. Truly we need a Supreme Resurrection to realize the Ancient of Days within ourselves.

In the World of KETHER we comprehend that the Great Law rules all that is created. From the World of the Ancient of Days we see the human multitudes like leaves swept by the wind.

THE GREAT WIND is the terrible Law of the Ancient of Days. “Vox populi, vox Dei.” A social revolt contemplated from the World of the Ancient of Days is a Law in action. Each person, the whole multitudes, seem leaves detached from the trees, swept by the terrible “Wind” of the Ancient of Days.

The people do not know of these things. The people are only concerned with getting money and more money. Such is the poor, suffering humanity — wretched leaves swept by the Great Wind. Wretched leaves carried by the Great Law.

The Ancient of Days is our Authentic Being in his essential root. He is the Father in us. He is our true Being. Our disciples must now concentrate and meditate very deeply upon the Ancient of Days. During Meditation they must induce sleep.

May Peace reign in all hearts. Let us not forget that Peace is Light; let us not forget that Peace is an essence emanated from the Absolute. It is Light emanated from the Absolute. It is the Light of the Ancient of Days. Christ said: “MY PEACE I GIVE TO YOU, MY PEACE I LEAVE WITH YOU.”

Chokmah

“Come, O Holy Word; come, O sacred name of the Force CRESTOS; come, O Sublime Energy; come, O Divine Mercy; come, Supreme Seity of the Most High.”

— Gnostic Mass

CHOKMAH of the Hebrew Kabbalah is the Cosmic Christ, the Christus, the Vishnu of the Hindustanis.

The 2nd Logos, Chokmah, is Love, the Agnus Dei, the Sacrificed Lamb; he is the Fire itself that burns in all Creation from the beginning of the world for our salvation. He is Fire and underlies in the depth of all organic and inorganic matter.

THE SOLAR ENERGY is Astral Light. Its essence is the Christic Power enclosed in the fertilizing pollen of the flower, in the heart of the fruit of the tree, in the glands of internal secretion of the animal and man. In man its principal seat is in the coccyx. The Aztecs called this Sacred Power: “The Plumed Serpent Quetzalcoatl,” which only awakens and ascends to our Pineal Gland by means of Amorous Magic.

Christ is Wisdom itself, is the Solar Logos, whose Physical Body is the Sun. Christ walks with his Sun, in the same way that the Human Soul walks with its body of flesh and bone. Christ is the Light of the Sun. The Light of the Sun is the Light of the Christ.

The Light of the Sun is a Christic Substance that makes the plant create and the seed sprout. Within the dense hardness of the grain remains enclosed that Substance of the Solar Logos, which permits the plant to reproduce incessantly with glorious, vigorous and active life.

The Energy radiated from the Solar Fire is fixed in the Heart of the Earth, and it is the vibrant nucleus of the cells in every living being. It is the Astral Light, the Azoth and the Magnesia of the Ancient Alchemists. The Astral Light interpenetrates the whole atmosphere and is the cause of marvelous powers in man, and the Sacred Fire of all life.

With the Help of the 2nd Logos this world has Consciousness; therefore we likewise will be able to awaken and have Consciousness.

CHRIST is that most Pure Ray, Ineffable and terribly Divine that shone like lightning upon the face of Moses, there within the solemn mystery of Mount Nebo…

CHRIST is not the Monad. Christ is not the Theosophical Septenary. Christ is not the Jivan-Atman. Christ is the Central Sun. Christ is the Ray that unites us to the Absolute.

“I believe in the Son, the Cosmic Crestos, the powerful Astral Mediation that links our Physical Personality with the Supreme Immanence of the Solar Father.” (Gnostic Ritual).

Know that the Christ is not an individual. The Cosmic Christ is impersonal, Universal and is beyond Individuality, Personality, and the I; he is a Cosmic Force that expresses himself through any man who is duly prepared.

One day he expressed himself through the great Jeshua Ben Pandira, known in the Physical World as the Master Jesus of Nazareth. He has also expressed himself through many others.

Christ is a COSMIC SUBSTANCE, latent in each atom of the Infinite. The Substance of Truth. Christ is the Truth and the Life.

When a man assimilates the Christ Substance Physically, Psychologically, and Spiritually, he is Christified — transformed into Christ, becomes a Living Christ. We need to form the Christ within us; it is urgent to incarnate the Truth.

Among the Chinese, Christ is Fu-Ji. Among the Mexicans, Christ is QUETZALCOATL, who was the Messiah and the transformer of the Toltecs. Among the Japanese he is Amida, who has the power to open the doors of the Gokurak (Paradise). In the Cult of Zoroaster, Christ is Ahura-Mazda. The German Eddas cite Kristos, the God of their theogony similar to Jesus of Nazareth, born on Christmas day, December 25 at midnight, just like the Nordic Christs — Odin, Wotan, and Belenus.

The Gospel of KRISHNA in the millennial India is similar to the Christian Gospel. In ancient Pharaonic Egypt, Christ is Osiris, and everyone who incarnated him was an Osirified one; Hermes Trismegistus is the Egyptian Christ — he incarnated Osiris. Every Man who succeeds in assimilating to the Christ Substance is in fact transformed into a LIVING CHRIST.

I want us to understand that the Solar Logos is not an Individual. The Solar Logos is an Army. The Verb, the Great Word. THE ARMY OF THE VOICE is a Multiple Unity, eternal, unconditioned, and perfect. He is Creator Logos. He is the First Instant.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God and the Word was with 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. And the Light shines in the darkness, but the darkness did not comprehend it.” (JOHN 1:1-5).

He is the Great Breath emanated from within the bowels of the ETERNAL ABSOLUTE ABSTRACT SPACE. The Eternal Absolute Abstract Space is the Being of the Being of all Beings; the Absolute is the Nameless, the Limitless Space. Everyone who incarnates his Christ is Christified and enters the ranks of the Army of the Voice.

“And as Moses lifted up the serpent upon the rod in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up.” (JOHN 3:14).

We must incarnate the Christ within us to ascend to the Father. No one comes to the Father except through the Son; in Christ we are all One. In the Lord there are no differences between man and man, because in Him we are all One. In the World of the Lord there exists no Individuality nor Personality. In Him there are no hierarchical differences. He who incarnates him is then He, He, He. “Variety is Unity.”

We must put an end to the Personality and to the I so that the Being may be born in us; we must put an end to Individuality.

If a mystic in the State of Ecstasy were to abandon his 7 Bodies to investigate the life of Christ, then he would see himself representing the Drama of the Passion of the Lord, performing miracles and wonders in the Holy Land, would see himself dead and resurrected on the third day. If that mystic occupied the place of Christ in those instants, he would be He, He, He. This phenomenon is owing to the fact that in the World of the Christ there exists no Individuality, no Personality; in the Christ there exists only one Being, who expresses himself as many.

On putting an end to the I and to Individuality, only the Values of the Consciousness remain, which are the attributes of the ETERNAL ABSOLUTE ABSTRACT SPACE.

Only He can say: “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.”

“I am the Light. I am the Life. I am the Good Shepherd. I am the Bread. I am the Resurrection.” The Being receives the Being of its Being, the I Am, that breath of the Great Breath in each one of us, our Particular Ray, He, He, He. The “I Am” is the Inner Christ of every man, our Divine “Augoides,” the Logos. He who receives the Crown of Life has the right to say: “I am He, I am He, I am He.”

The Christ is symbolized by the erect phallus, by the scepter of power raised high, by the tower, by the sharp stone, and by the tunic of glory; he is of Divine origin. Christ is Love. The antithesis of Love is Hate. Know, peoples, multitudes, and tongues, that Hate is converted into fire that burns. Know that the most terrible monster that exists on Earth is Hate.

He who lies sins against the Father who is Truth; and he who hates sins against the Son who is Love; he who fornicates sins against the Holy Spirit who is Chastity.

Binah

“Hail Sacred Swan! Miraculous Hamsa.

Hail Phoenix Bird of Paradise!

Hail immortal Ibis! Dove of the Grail.

Creative Energy of the Third Logos!”

— Gnostic Ritual

Binah is the Holy Spirit, is the Third Logos, the Lord Shiva of the Hindustanis, who manifests himself as SEXUAL POTENCY in all that is, has been, and shall be.

The Holy Spirit is the Sexual Force that we see in the pistils of the flowers, that which expresses itself in the Creative Organs of all the species that live; a marvelous Force without which the Universe could not exist.

The Kabbalists arrange the various Sephiroth of the Hebrew Kabbalah with the Worlds. So, for example, the Ancient of Days is a point of Infinite Space; he is eternal as a symbol. Chokmah is governed by the Zodiac, and it is true. They say that Binah is governed by Saturn; here we come to a point where we must dissent. I do not mean that the Holy Spirit is not governed by Saturn, that there is no relation between them — there is; but it is not all, because there is no doubt that in the World of Jupiter it is related in a certain form with Binah, since he has Powers, Thrones, and he washes the Waters of Life.

From the Ain Soph (the Super-divine Atom) emanate KETHER, CHOKMAH and BINAH, the Crown of Life, the resplendent Dragon of Wisdom.

When the GREAT COSMIC NIGHT arrives, the resplendent Dragon of Wisdom will be absorbed within the Ain Soph… Behold the Trinity absorbed within the Unity! Behold the Holy Four, the TETRAGRAMMATON of the Kabbalists!

The Trinity, the Perfect Triad, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, plus the Unity of Life is the Holy Four, the Four Eternal Carpenters, the Four Horns of the Altar, the Four Winds of the Sea, the Holy and Mysterious Tetragrammaton whose mantric word is Iod-He-Vau-He, the terrible name of the Eternal.

The Holy Spirit unfolds into an ineffable Woman; she is the Divine Mother, wears a white tunic and a blue mantle. The Holy Spirit is Shiva, the Divine Spouse of Shakti, THE DIVINE MOTHER KUNDALINI.

The Divine Woman is an Ineffable Virgin; this Divine Mother is symbolized among the Aztecs by a mysterious Virgin (see monograph No. 10 of the book “Aztec Christic Magic”); this Virgin has in her throat a mysterious mouth — it is because the throat is the uterus where the word is gestated; the Gods create with the larynx.

“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.”

The Word made fecund the Waters of Life, and the Universe in its germinal state arose splendid in the dawn.

The Holy Spirit fecundated the Great Mother and Christ was born. The 2nd Logos is always son of the Virgin Mother.

She is always virgin before the birth, in the birth, and after the birth. She is Isis, Mary, Adonia, Insoberta, Rhea, Cybele, etc.

She is the Primitive Chaos, the Primordial Substance, the Prime Matter of the Great Work.

The Cosmic Christ is the Army of the Great Word, and is born always in the Worlds, and is crucified in each of them so that all beings may have life and have it in abundance.

The Holy Spirit is the Maker of Light: “said God, let there be light, and the light was made.” The esoteric Sense is: “Because he said it, it was done.”

The Earth has 9 Strata, and in the Ninth is the Laboratory of the 3rd Logos. Truly the 9th Stratum is at the very center of the planetary mass; there is the Holy Eight, the Divine Symbol of the Infinite, in which are represented the Brain, Heart, and Sex of the Planetary Genie.

A Sacred Serpent coils itself in the heart of the Earth, precisely in the 9th Sphere. She is sevenfold in her constitution, and each of her 7 Igneous Aspects corresponds with each of the 7 Serpents of Man.

THE CREATIVE ENERGY of the Third Logos elaborates the chemical elements of the Earth, with all their multifaceted complexity of forms. When this Creative Energy withdraws from the center of the Earth, our world will then be transformed into a corpse. Thus is how Worlds die.

The Serpentine Fire of Man emanates from the SERPENTINE FIRE OF THE EARTH. The terrible Serpent sleeps profoundly in her mysterious nest of strange hollow spheres, truly similar to a real Chinese puzzle. These are concentric astral and subtle spheres. Truly, just as the Earth has 9 Concentric Spheres and at the depth of all is the terrible Serpent, so likewise has man, because he is the Microcosmos of the Macrocosmos.

Man is a Universe in miniature; the infinitely small is analogous to the infinitely great.

Hydrogen, Carbon, Nitrogen, and Oxygen are the 4 basic Elements with which the Third Logos works. The chemical elements are arranged in order of their atomic weights; the lightest is Hydrogen, whose atomic weight is 1, and ends with Uranium whose atomic weight is 238.5 and is in fact the heaviest of the known elements.

The Electrons constitute a bridge between Spirit and Matter. Hydrogen in itself is the most rarefied element known; THE FIRST MANIFESTATION OF THE SERPENT. Every element, every food, every organism is synthesized into a determined type of Hydrogen. The Sexual Energy corresponds to Hydrogen 12, and its musical note SI.

The Solar Electronic Matter is the Sacred Fire of the Kundalini. When we liberate that energy, we enter into the Path of Authentic Initiation.

The Energy of the Third Logos expresses itself through the Sexual Organs, and through the Creative Larynx. These are the two instruments through which the Powerful Creative Energy of the Third Logos flows.

When one works with the Arcanum A.Z.F., the SACRED SERPENT awakens. The ascending Flux of the Creative Energy of the Third Logos is the Living Fire. That Pentecostal Fire ascends along the Medullar Canal opening centers and awakening miraculous powers.

In ancient Mexico in the Temple of the Serpents, called QUETZALCOATL, the Holy Spirit was adored with tunic and mantle of white, black, and red colors; among the embers of fire they cast powdered seashells; for this they used white, black, and red sea snails. The White is the Pure Spirit; the Black symbolizes the fall of the Spirit into Matter; and the Red is the Fire of the Holy Spirit, with which we return to the whiteness of the Pure Spirit.

That incense rose to Heaven; the Priest prayed for life and the plants flourished, because the Holy Spirit is the Sexual Fire of the Universe. The rite was performed in the temple of Quetzalcoatl before sunrise, because the Holy Spirit is the Maker of Light; the Priest vocalized the mantrams IN EN.

Jonah the prophet also performed the rite of the Holy Spirit exactly as the Aztecs did, and used for it the same vestments and incenses. He also vocalized the mantrams IN, EN when he cast the incense into the fire.

This rite must be established in all Gnostic Sanctuaries. The snails are related with the water of the sea, and Water is the dwelling place of the Fire of the Holy Spirit. Thus, sea snails are the perfect incense of the Holy Spirit.

The Mother or Holy Spirit gives us Power and Wisdom. The symbols of the Virgin are: the Yoni, the Chalice, and the TUNIC OF CONCEALMENT.

Chesed

CHESED in himself is the Innermost; according to the Hindustanis, Atman. They say that Chesed is governed directly by Jupiter and nothing more. That is false. The Innermost is MARTIAN, Warrior, Fighter; this many Kabbalists do not accept and may even consider absurd. But whoever has direct experience of Chesed knows very well that Chesed is a Warrior; it is the Innermost who has to be in a struggle to the death against the darkness, who has to fight hard for his own Intimate Self-realization, who is in battle. It is obvious that he has something Jupiterian because he can grasp the Scepter of Kings — I do not deny it; but that he is only and exclusively Jupiterian, that is false.

ATMAN is our Innermost, our Divinal Seity, that Seventh Principle which is in the Beings but which humans do not have.

To fuse with Atman the following experience is required: Go out in the Astral Body, abandoning the Physical Body. Strip off the Astral Body, ordering it: “go forth from me”; for this, will is required, and the Astral Body emerges through the spinal column and we remain in the World of the Mind. Then strip off the Mental Body, ordering it: “Body of the Mind, go forth from me”; this is performed by an act of will, and one remains with the Causal Body, whom one also orders to go forth; this also requires great effort. THE BODY OF THE CONSCIOUS WILL works better, and one orders it to leave and abandon the 33 vertebrae, remaining with the Buddhic or Intuitional Body; he is very obedient, and one also orders him to leave, remaining in the World of Chesed, of Atman, the Ineffable.

In the World of Atman one feels oneself a Complete Man; here the Intellectual Animal is not Man. The Initiate feels himself full of immense plenitude; there in that world is “Real Man” in the most objective sense.

Its negative part is the Physical World; the World of Atman is a positive state. There one sees a city in its most real form, for there a table is seen from all sides — above, below, within, without; the same happens with a mountain. In a kitchen one sees how many atoms a set of cutlery is formed of, how many molecules contain the bread or meat one is going to eat. We not only perceive solids in integral form, but also hypersolids — including the exact quantity of atoms which in their totality constitute the entirety of any body.

If the student is not prepared, he becomes disillusioned because he finds himself in a world with the crudest realism; this is the World of Mathematics. There one sees the Drama of Nature; there one is a spectator of Nature. The World of Mathematics is the World of Atman.

He who thinks is the Mind, not the Innermost. The Human Mind in its current state of evolution is the animal we bear within.

Descartes’s concept: “I think therefore I am” is completely false, because the True Man is the Innermost, and the Innermost does not think because he knows. Atman does not need to think, because he is Omniscient.

Our Innermost is Yes, Yes, Yes. The Wisdom of our Innermost is Yes, Yes, Yes. The Love of our Innermost is Yes, Yes, Yes.

When we say: “I am hungry, I am thirsty,” etc., we are affirming something absurd, because the Innermost has no hunger or thirst; he who is hungry and thirsty is the Physical Body. The most correct is to say: “my body is hungry, my body is thirsty.”

The same happens with the Mind; when we say: “I have a powerful Mental Force, I have a problem, I have such conflict, I have such suffering, such thoughts occur to me,” etc., we are then affirming the gravest errors, because those are things of the Mind, not of the Innermost.

THE TRUE MAN IS THE INNERMOST; he has no problems; the problems are of the Mind.

The Innermost must lash the Mind with the terrible whip of Will.

The man who identifies with the Mind falls into the Abyss.

The Mind is the donkey upon which we must mount to enter the Celestial Jerusalem.

We must command the Mind thus: “Mind, withdraw from me that problem, Mind, withdraw from me such desire, etc. I do not admit it; I am thy Lord and thou art my slave until the consummation of the centuries.”

Woe to the man who identifies with the Mind, because he loses the Innermost, and ends in the Abyss.

Those who say that everything is Mind commit a very grave error, because the Mind is only an instrument of the Innermost.

All those works that tend to identify man with the Mind are legitimate Black Magic, because the True Man is not the Mind.

We must not forget that the most subtle and dangerous Demons that exist in the Universe reside in the Mental World.

THE INNERMOST says to the Mind thus: “Do not say that your eyes are your eyes, because through them I see. Do not say that your ears are your ears, because through them I hear. Do not say that your mouth is your mouth, because through it I speak. Your eyes are my eyes. Your ears are my ears. Your mouth is my mouth.”

In the Internal Worlds, we can cast the Mental Body outside of ourselves to converse with it, face to face, as a strange person.

Then we comprehend in depth that the Mind is a strange subject, which we must learn to handle with the terrible whip of Will.

“THE LAIR OF DESIRE IS IN THE MIND.”

The Innermost is the True Man who lives incarnated in every human body, and whom we all carry crucified in our heart.

When man awakens from his dream of ignorance, then he gives himself to his Innermost. The Innermost unites with the Christ and man is made all powerful as the Absolute from which he emanated.

The Innermost is God in man. The man who ignores this great truth is only a shadow, the shadow of his Innermost.

The Symbol of the Innermost is the FIVE-POINTED STAR, the Pyramid, the Cross of equal arms, the Scepter.

Geburah

GEBURAH is the Rigor of the Law, is the Buddhi, the Soul-Spirit, the Walkyrie of whom that distinguished Spanish writer Don Mario Roso de Luna spoke to us; she is the Beautiful Helen, etc.

Geburah, the Buddhi, has been considered as exclusively Martian — that is a mistake, because in the World of the Soul-Spirit, which is feminine, is the Lion of the Law, which is Solar. Thus in Geburah we find the Rigor of the Law, but we also find the Nobility of the Lion; then the Buddhic-Intuitional World is completely Solar.

GEBURAH is the Law of Justice. The World of Geburah is founded upon Justice. The Masters of Karma base themselves upon “Consciousness” to judge in the Tribunal of Karma.

The Masters of Karma are Judges of Consciousness. Justice is beyond Good and Evil. When you arrive at the Light you will know what Love is, and when you know what Love is, you will know how to love and will comprehend that Conscious Love is Law. It is not worth doing good, but knowing how to do it.

The Chief of the Archons of the Law is the Master Anubis, who officiates with his 42 Judges. When they officiate they wear a sacred mask in the form of the head of a Jackal or Plumed Wolf, emblem of the Truth.

JUSTICE IS THE SUPREME PIETY AND THE SUPREME IMPIETY OF THE LAW.

In the Tribunal of Karma he who has wherewith to pay comes out well from his affairs. We must constantly do good works to have wherewith to pay our debts of this and past lives.

It is impossible to elude Justice because the Policeman of Karma is within ourselves; this is the KAOM. Wherever Love is lacking, the KAOM appears — the Policeman, the Accuser, who leads us before the Tribunals of the Law.

It is possible to cancel Karma with good works; thus the Lion of the Law is combated. When an Inferior Law is transcended by a Superior Law, the Superior Law washes the Inferior. Karma is not a mechanical Law; it can be pardoned. Do good works that your debts may be cancelled.

EACH OF US HAS A BOOK WHERE THE OFFENSES ONE HAS COMMITTED ARE NOTED, THE DAY AND THE HOUR.

When we are totally harmless, when one is no longer capable of doing evil to anyone, his Karma is pardoned.

Karma is a medicine that is given to us. The Buddha said: “There are three eternal things in life”:

THE LAW.

THE NIRVANA.

THE SPACE.

Tiphereth

TIPHERETH is the Spouse of the Spouse, the SUPERIOR MANAS of Oriental Theosophy, which is nothing other than the Human Soul, the Causal. It is that Soul which suffers and which gives the very human part in us.

We must distinguish between what is the Human Soul and Tiphereth in himself. It is very easy to confuse Tiphereth with the Causal. The Causal Body comes to be the Vehicle of Tiphereth.

Some Kabbalists pretend that the World of Tiphereth, the World of the Human Soul or of the Son of Man properly speaking, is governed by the Sun. Truly it is not so, for it is governed by Venus; for this reason Christ is crucified on Good Friday, and that is something we can meditate upon.

The Matrimony of Guinevere, the Divine Amazon, the Divine Soul, with the Knight, the Human Soul, is a marvelous event in which we experience a radical transformation, because the Buddhi is like a vase of fine and transparent alabaster, within which burns the flame of Prajna (the Being).

The Hindustani esoteric texts constantly mention the famous Trimurti Atman-Buddhi-Manas. This is the Innermost with his two Souls, the Spiritual Soul (feminine) and the Human Soul (masculine).

The source and basis of High Magic is found in the perfect betrothal of Buddhi-Manas, whether in the purely Spiritual regions or in the Earthly World.

The Authentic Initiatic Colleges teach with clarity that the Beautiful Helen is the Buddhi, the Spiritual Soul of the Sixth Venustic Initiation, the Potential Feminine Shakti of the Inner Being. The Beautiful Helen of Troy is the same Helen of Goethe’s Faust.

Helen clearly signifies the betrothals of Nous (Atman-Buddhi) with Manas (the Human Soul). The union by which CONSCIOUSNESS AND WILL are identified, both Souls thereby being endowed with Divinal Powers.

The Essence of Atman, of the Primordial, Eternal and Universal Divine Fire, is contained within the Buddhi, who in full conjunction with Manas, determines the Masculine-Feminine.

HE AND SHE, Buddhi and Manas, are the Twin Souls within ourselves (although the Intellectual Animal has not yet incarnated them), the two adored Daughters of Atman. The Spouse and the Spouse Eternally in love.

The Eternal Lady, the Soul-Spirit, always demands from her Knight, the Human Soul, every kind of unheard-of sacrifices and prodigies of valor.

Blessed is the Knight who, after the Hard Battle, celebrates his betrothal with Guinevere, the Queen of the Jinas!

The Intellectual Animal, mistakenly called Man, has a fraction of the Human Soul incarnated within himself.

Such a fraction is called the “Essence”; in Nipponese Zen it is called simply the “Buddhata”; it is the Psychic Material with which one can and must manufacture the Golden Embryo. (See the book «The Mystery of the Golden Flowering»).

Unfortunately the Essence lies asleep within that variegated and grotesque set of submerged, tenebrous entities, which constitute the Ego, the Myself, the Self. Yet such Essence is the prime matter to manufacture Soul — this concept, which unfortunately has not yet been very well understood by our Gnostic students.

The Chinese Tao teaches clearly that the Essence bottled up within all that set of Devil-I’s that constitute the Ego must in the Ninth Sphere pass through incessant Alchemical transformations before becoming the “SEMINAL PEARL.”

The Seminal Pearl developing by means of Sexual Magic and the formidable work with the Lance of Longinus (transforming the Animal Ego into cosmic dust), must be transformed into the Golden Embryo.

The marvelous reflection of the Sexual Energy in the form of a luminous whirlwind — as when a ray of light returns upon striking a wall — comes to crystallize within us in the Golden Flower, which, as is known, establishes within the neophyte a Permanent Center of Consciousness.

The Golden Embryo dressed in the Wedding Garment of the Soul experiences in truth a supreme joy in the instant in which it fuses with the Human Soul. From that instant it is said of us that we are Men with Soul, Sacred Individuals, persons truly responsible in the most complete sense of the word.

In the Golden Embryo are summed up all the experiences of life, and for that reason it is patent that it originates fundamental transformations in the Immortal Pneumatic Principles of man. Thus is how we become Adepts of the White Brotherhood.

The World of Tiphereth is the World of Will. IN THAT WORLD ONLY THE WILL OF THE FATHER IS DONE, THUS IN THE HEAVENS AS ON THE EARTH.

It is a World that is beyond the Mind; it is of an intense electric-blue color; many other colors exist, but the fundamental is the blue.

In that World of the Natural Causes one finds many Bodhisattvas who work under the direction of their Real Being.

In that world music, sound prevails. Everyone who arrives at the 5th Initiation of Fire becomes an Adept and is permitted entry to the World of Music. There is found the TEMPLE OF THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERES.

One of the Guardians of said Temple is a Great Master who, when he lived in the Physical World, was named Beethoven. He is a Great Initiate; his nine symphonies are marvelous.

Everyone who arrives at that Region must learn the fundamental notions of Music because it is the Verb. In that sublime Region the Music of the Spheres is heard which is based upon the Three Beats of the Mahavan and the Chotavan, which sustain the Universe in its rhythm, and their march is perfect; there can be no error in that music.

In the Region of Tiphereth is the Veil of Veronica, which signifies “Christ-Will,” that one must do the will of the Father.

It is impossible to obtain the Conscious Will without working in the Ninth Sphere. There are many places where they submit themselves to tremendous tortures to acquire the Conscious Will, but they only store some energy.

The true Fakir has his Guru and does not leave Hindustan. The Fakirs acquire many powers but nothing more; there are some who raise an arm and never lower it again — there it dries up. With those acts they pursue Will, but the Will does not go beyond there; they do not succeed in manufacturing the Body of the Conscious Will. All that miracle-working leads people astray, and for this reason the Fakirs are misguided.

ONCE THE BODY OF THE CONSCIOUS WILL IS MANUFACTURED, ONE BECOMES A TWICE-BORN.

Netzach

“The Mental Body is the donkey upon which we must mount to enter the Celestial Jerusalem.”

— Samael Aun Weor

“The Mind that is the slave of the senses makes the

Soul as helpless as the boat which the wind

leads astray upon the waters.”

— Bhagavad-Gita.

NETZACH is the MENTAL WORLD, the Cosmic Mind, the Mind of the human being.

There are authors who suppose that the Mind is Venusian; I must dissent with that, because the Mind, properly speaking, is Mercurial. Anyone can realize that the Mind is Mercurial, since Mercury gives Wisdom, gives the word, etc.

The Mental Body of the human race is now in the dawn of Evolution. Observing clairvoyantly the physiognomy of the Mental Body of human beings, we corroborate then, this affirmation.

The face of the Mental Body of almost all human beings has an animal appearance. When we Observe all the customs and habits of the human species, then we comprehend why the Mental Body of the people has an animal physiognomy.

The Lunar Mental Body that we possess is of a Beastly nature. The Solar Mental is the antithesis, is the Christ-Mind.

The Lunar Mental Body that we possess is of a beastly nature, and even the animals and the vegetables have it. The only difference that exists between the beasts and the badly called man, is that the latter has been given “Intellectuality,” and the beasts only act instinctively.

The Solar Mental Body is not a vague, abstract body; it is a body of flesh and bone — but imperishable flesh, that does not come from Adam, and that can pass through a wall; it must be manufactured in the Ninth Sphere. THE SOLAR MENTAL is a Body of Perfection, which eats, drinks, assimilates, digests; it has its special foods, its nutrition, its development.

In the World of the Mind there are many Temples that must be conquered with the “point of the sword.” When one works in the Fourth Initiation of Greater Mysteries, one finds many tenebrous ones, and one must struggle.

When one acquires this Body, one receives the grade of “BUDDHA.” The Blessed Goddess Mother of the World presents him in the Temple of the Mind saying: “Behold my most beloved son, behold a new BUDDHA.” She then places upon her son the Diadem of Shiva and the Yellow Mantle of the BUDDHAS.

Sanat Kumara, the illustrious founder of the Great College of Initiates of the White Lodge, then exclaims: “You have liberated yourself from the Four Bodies of Sin and have penetrated into the World of the Gods; you are a BUDDHA; when man liberates himself from the Four Bodies of sin he is a BUDDHA.” And he delivers to him the Globe of the Emperator with its cross above.

Our disciples must exchange the process of Reasoning for the beauty of Comprehension.

The process of Reasoning divorces the Mind from the Innermost. A Mind divorced from the Innermost falls into the abyss of Black Magic.

Reason is an offense of lèse-majesté against the Innermost.

Many times the Innermost gives an order and the Mind rebels with its reasonings. The Innermost speaks in the form of hunches or thoughts; the Mind rebels reasoning and comparing.

Reasoning is based on opinion, on the struggle of antithetical concepts, on the process of conceptual election, etc.

Reason divides the Mind among the Battle of the Antitheses. The antithetical concepts transform the Mind into a battlefield.

A Mind divided by the battle of reasonings, by the antithetical struggle of concepts, fractures the understanding, transforming the Mind into a useless instrument for the Being, for the Innermost.

When the Mind cannot serve as an instrument for the Innermost, then it serves as an instrument for the Animal I, transforming man into a blind and clumsy being, slave of passions and of the sensory perceptions of the external world.

The clumsiest and most passionate beings that exist on Earth are precisely the great intellectual reasoners.

The intellectual, for lack of a period or a comma, loses the sense of a sentence.

THE INTUITIVE KNOWS HOW TO READ WHERE THE MASTER DOES NOT WRITE AND TO LISTEN WHERE THE MASTER DOES NOT SPEAK.

The reasoner is totally a slave of the external senses, and his Soul is helpless like the boat that the wind leads astray on the waters.

The Spiritualist Reasoners are the most unhappy beings that exist on Earth. They have their Mind totally crammed with theories and more theories, and they suffer horribly at not being able to realize anything of what they have read.

Those poor beings have a terrible pride; and customarily end by separating themselves from the Innermost, and become Tantric Personalities of the Abyss.

If we take the Mental Body of any Pseudo-Spiritualist student who theorizes, and examine it carefully, we find it is a veritable walking library.

If we then carefully examine the Coccyxal Church of Ephesus, or Muladhara Chakra, we find that the Kundalini is there totally enclosed, without showing the slightest signs of awakening; and if we examine the channel of Sushumna of the student, we find there not a trace of the Sacred Fire. We find that the 33 Chambers of the student are totally full of darkness.

This internal examination would lead us to the conclusion that said student is lamentably wasting his time.

The student may have a Mental Body transformed into a veritable walking library, but all the 33 Chambers of his spinal column will be totally extinguished and in profound darkness.

”

The Authentic Initiatic Colleges teach with clarity that the Beautiful Helen is the Buddhi, the Spiritual Soul of the Sixth Venustic Initiation, the Potential Feminine Shakti of the Inner Being.

Chapter 40: FOURTH PART

“Draw aside the veil that covers the Celestial Spirits; see that every man and

every woman is a star, like mysterious lamps

hanging from the firmament. God is the Flame that bubbles in all things.

The vivifying geometry of all. For this reason the Number is Holy,

is Infinite, is Eternal. There where it resides, there is no difference.

Diversity is Unity.”

— Gnostic Ritual

Numerological Table

This is a board or chart, very important for comprehending in depth the Esoteric Mysteries.

It is a quadrilateral divided into 9 numbers. There is a triple division both vertical and horizontal. There are expressed the principles of Arithmetic and Geometry. In that table we find: the INDIVIDUAL ARCHITECTURE, the Inner Universe which is the one each of us must build within — it is the construction of our Inner Intimate Universe. The Cosmic Architecture is related with the Seven Cosmoses of the Infinite. The Social Architecture is related with the construction of our temples, houses, buildings.

It is necessary to comprehend that this chart is related with the three principles of Architecture mentioned earlier, Geometry, and Mathematics. We must relate ourselves with the numbers, because Kabbalah is based upon that. The Square divided in 9 parts represents a triple extension or the triplicity of the Ternary — that is, the Ninth Sphere.

We have explained much about the Ninth Sphere, but this can be demonstrated mathematically. Everything related to the Ninth Sphere, or to the Self-realization of Man, can be verified with numbers or Esoteric Mathematics that come from remote epochs. Let us analyze the first vertical ternary.

• 1 — MONAD.

• 4 — CROSS.

• 7 — SEPTENARY.

The “1” is the Monad, the Unity, the Iod-Heve Jehovah, the Father who is in secret; it is the Divine Triad, and is not incarnated in a Master who has not killed the Ego. It is Osiris, God himself, the Verb. It has its expression in the 4, because the 4 is the Chariot of Merkabah of Kabbalah, which is the 4 bodies.

• PHYSICAL BODY.

• AUTHENTIC SOLAR ASTRAL BODY.

• AUTHENTIC SOLAR MENTAL BODY.

• AUTHENTIC SOLAR CAUSAL BODY.

It is the Chariot of the Centuries that assumes the figure of the Celestial Man. The Monad expresses itself by means of the Chariot; in it it travels.

The 4 also represents the four points of the Cross, which encloses the Mysteries of the Lingam-Yoni, and at the crossing of both is found the key by which Self-realization is attained. THE MONAD SELF-REALIZES BY MEANS OF THE CROSS. Without the 4 there is no Self-realization, or else the Law of Ternaries which belongs to Esoteric Mathematics would be violated.

4 = + (CROSS).

In the 4 are contained the Mysteries of sex.

MASCULINE PLUS FEMININE = + (CROSS).

The Self-realization of the Monad is verified in the Septenary, in the Authentic Man. The Septenary is complete when one already has the 7 Principles or Christified Bodies, the 7 Chakras developed, and the 7 Serpents of Fire raised.

Let us analyze the second vertical ternary:

• 2 — DIVINE MOTHER.

• 5 — INTELLIGENCE.

• 8 — CADUCEUS OF MERCURY.

The 2 is Heve, the DIVINE MOTHER; she is the Father who unfolds himself; further, she also is Brahma because she is the Feminine Aspect of the Father.

• IOD: MONAD.

• HEVE: DIVINE MOTHER.

• IOD-HEVE: JEHOVAH.

The authentic Jehovah is our Father who is in secret and our Divine Mother. The Cruel Jehovah of the Jews is an anthropomorphization of the true Jehovah who is within each one of us.

Heve, the Divine Mother, expresses herself by means of the intelligence which is the number 5; it is through her that the elimination of the Ego is attained, because the true intelligence is in her. If we wish to dissolve the Ego, we must appeal to the Divine Mother, COMPREHENDING OUR OWN ERRORS THOROUGHLY AND ASKING HER TO ELIMINATE THEM.

The Divine Mother manifests herself through the Holy Eight or Caduceus of Mercury, which represents the Spinal Column, the Kundalini Energy ascending through the Sushumna Canal.

The Holy Eight has its root in Sex. The Holy Eight is the sign of the INFINITE. The relation of the 2, 5 and 8 is extraordinary; the Caduceus of Mercury or sign of the Infinite is found in the Ninth Sphere.

All this Wisdom was known in the Pythagorean Mysteries. In Masonry they are known but they have not gone deeply into the studies.

Let us analyze the third vertical ternary:

• 3 — TRINITY.

• 6 — LOVE, MAN AND WOMAN.

• 9 — THE NINTH SPHERE.

The number 3 corresponds to the Third Logos, the Holy Spirit. The Third Logos is in himself the Creative Sexual Force that expresses itself throughout the Universe.

One works by means of the Number 6, which is related with Sex. There is found man and woman; in the Tarot a man appears between vice and virtue, between the Virgin and the Harlot. The Sexual Force must be worked with by means of the 6 — that is, with Love — and this has an expression in the 9 which equates to the Ninth Sphere. The number 9 is the number of the Master.

The three triads or horizontal lines represent the Three Worlds.

• SPIRITUAL: SPIRIT.

• ANIMA: SOUL.

• PHYSICAL: BODY.

In this chart are contained the principles for the Self-realization of man.

Number One — (1)

THE NUMBER 1 IS THE SUN, the King-Star, the one that gives us life; it corresponds to the constellation of Aries which governs the head. To it corresponds the musical note DO and the color White; the metal is Gold and as a precious stone the Diamond.

Among the plexuses where the Chakras are, the Number 1 is attributed to the Cardiac, because if the heart ceases to function there is death — for this reason it is the Number One.

The Number 1 is the Wisdom of the Father; it is the Crown, because the Ancient of Days is the King, the one who carries the power over Nature. It is the 1 because it has the power, because it is the one who commands.

WISDOM IS FROM THE FATHER; ONE CANNOT TEACH THE MONAD; THE WISDOM OF THE FATHER FORESEES EVERYTHING.

To avoid failing in Piety, one can become merciless; for many times we do not understand the Father — he is Number 1 of the Kabbalistic Tree.

The original ideas correspond to the One. It is obvious that the Will, Personal Initiative, the Enterprising Spirit pertain to Number 1.

The Unity of Thought and Action must form 1 with the original will and tenacity, like a formidable impulse in what one is going to do.

Number Two — (2)

To the Number 2 corresponds the Constellation of TAURUS, which governs the neck of the Creative Larynx, that marvelous womb where the Word, the Verb, is gestated. The musical note is RE; the color is Violet; the metal Silver; and among precious stones, the Emerald.

The Plexus that corresponds to it is the Laryngeal, the Thyroid, the Chakra of Magical Hearing, of Clairaudience.

To awaken that Chakra there is a laryngeal Mantram which is the E; it must give a musical note which is RE; one must vocalize daily; one must inhale with the note RE and exhale with it vocalizing EEEEEEEE… Thus one achieves the development of the Laryngeal Chakra, which gives us the power to hear the voices of the Beyond, of the Superior Beings. There is need to develop that Laryngeal Chakra because otherwise it is impossible to hear those sounds.

The lymph and the stomach correspond to Number 2, also the Moon.

The Number One unfolds into the DYAD. The Number 2 is in the First Trimurti its second aspect, the CHRIST. Not to be confused with the Second Trimurti, in which the Father unfolds in the Mother and is in the Child.

The Number 2 of the Kabbalistic Tree is the Son, Christ; and is the Instructor of the World. For this reason Hermes Trismegistus said: “I give you Love, within which is contained all the sum of Wisdom.” The Number 2 has 32 Paths and 50 Gates. The explanation is the following:

32 PATHS = 3 + 2 = 5 (THE PENTALPHA, MAN).

50 GATES = 5 + 0 = 5 (THE PENTALPHA, MAN).

LET US ADD THE RESULTS 5 + 5 = 10.

10 = 1 + 0 = 1.

In the 0 are the Masculine and Feminine Principles, the foundation of Love through Sex.

THE DIVINE MOTHER, THE COSMIC MOTHER.

∞ INFINITE.

PENTALPHA.

5 + 5 = 10 reduces thus = ∞ = (MAN).

This of the 50 gates is very interesting; in one of the Gnostic Rituals it says that there exists a palace: “The floor of that palace is of silver and gold, lapis lazuli and jasper; and there a variety of aromas of roses and jasmines is inhaled. But in the midst of it all blows a BREATH OF DEATH. Let the officiants penetrate or open the gates one by one or all together. Let them stand on the floor of the palace. It will not sink. Woe to you, O Warrior! O Fighter! if your servant sinks; BUT THERE ARE REMEDIES AND REMEDIES.”

Certainly in the Superior Worlds there is a Temple with 50 Gates surrounded by the four elements: Fire, Earth, Air, and Water. And it is guarded by Two Golden Sphinxes. The student receives instruction in that temple; each of the halls of it corresponds in Kabbalah with the 50 Gates and 32 Paths (he sees his past lives).

WITHIN ONESELF ONE HAS THE 50 GATES; EVERYTHING IS WITHIN MAN.

Many years ago, on unfolding myself on a new year, I had to live a certain drama in the theater of the world; being persecuted, I arrived at the Temple of the 50 Gates with its Two Golden Sphinxes who guarded the gates; we have already studied the symbolism of the Sphinx — the face, the lion’s paws, etc.

I entered the palace; it was surrounded by water, and I crossed a very beautiful garden, but there was a breath of death; I entered the First of the 50 Gates and there I was received by a group of brothers who applauded me; then I went out and penetrated into another beautiful garden, which also had a breath of death; then I entered the Second Gate, and those who had congratulated me had become traitors who vociferated and slandered; I kept silent and crossed the other garden to the Third Gate, finding there other people who congratulated me; I crossed another hall and other people. Thus I crossed those 50 Gates, and following the 32 paths — that is, walking the inner path.

I encountered some Masters dressed as executioners (they are executioners of the Ego) who said to me: “STUDY THE RITUAL OF LIFE AND DEATH WHILE THE OFFICIANT ARRIVES”; the Officiant was my Real Being.

With this I have explained the 32 Paths and the 50 Gates; this is the Number 2. Everything corresponds to the Intimate Christ who must be born in each of us; he is Love.

The Number 2 is Love, the Suffering Christ, the one who must live all the Drama.

In the Number 2 there are two columns Jachin and Boaz, there is Association. One must learn to associate Ideas, thoughts, with people, with familiar things; one must know how to listen to contrary opinions without becoming angry, dissolve the I of Anger, cultivate Harmony, may the Associations be Harmonious.

In the 2 are the relations: mother with son, woman with man, man with woman, with things, with antitheses, with opinions.

One must learn to handle ideas, business, in Peace and Serenity; that is the Number 2. One must learn to handle the two.

Number Three — (3)

To the Number 3 corresponds the Zodiacal Constellation of Gemini and the planet Jupiter. The musical note of the Number 3 is MI; among colors the Purple; among metals Tin; among the plexuses the Splenic (spleen) and the Hepatic (liver).

The Transmutation of the Creative Energy corresponds to the number 3. The Splenic Chakra is the center of the Etheric Body; through there the life of the Sun enters into our organism.

The Splenic Chakra gathers during the night the energies that the Sun has left during the day; with those energies the Splenic Chakra transmutes the white globules into red globules.

During the day the organic wastes obstruct the nerve channels of the Great Sympathetic; during sleep the Vital Energy makes that chakra spin, and this in turn uses the energy of the Sun, which passes to the spleen, transmuting the white globules into red ones; the energy passes to the Solar Plexus and is distributed throughout the nervous system. The Thyroid Gland cooperates by disinfecting the whole organism; when the Ego (Lunar Astral) returns to the organism, it is clear that the latter will already be repaired and we feel better in health. When one rises very tired, that signifies that the organism is sick.

The Hepatic Chakra serves for the Astral goings-forth. The Astral Body is connected with the Liver. By awakening the Chakra of the Liver, everyone can enter and leave the Physical Body at will.

The Splenic, the Hepatic, and the Solar Plexus develop with the Egyptian Mantram:

FE - UIN - DAGT.

It is sung with the note MI, developing the 3 Chakras and the lungs. The Number 3 is the Power; it has 50 Gates and 50 Lights.

We already know what the 50 Gates signify; one must seek them within oneself.

50 GATES = 5 + 0 = 5 (THE PENTALPHA, MAN).

50 LIGHTS = 5 + 0 = 5.

ADDING RESULTS: 5 + 5 = 10.

The “10” is the 10 Sephiroth of Kabbalah, 10 = Symbol of the Divine Mother; the line is no more than a point extended.

We have found that 10 = In the 10, we already know that there is ∞. THE CREATIVE ENERGY, THE HOLY SPIRIT gives us Power, the Power of Sex; there is where the force of the Holy Spirit is, the 50 Lights are the Power of the Holy Spirit; without that force “We have no Sword, and without the Sword we are disarmed.”

It is said that in the Number Three is contained the Law of Moses, for in the Three is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the one who Illumines us, the one who teaches us the Law.

• WISDOM — FATHER.

• LOVE — SON.

• POWER — HOLY SPIRIT.

That is the order. Looking at the practical aspect of life we find that the Number 3 is production, both Material and Spiritual. The realization of our own longings, aspirations, ideas.

But if we wish to bear fruit, to achieve success, we must handle the Three with intelligence; because in the Three exist Harmony, Art, Beauty.

Express everything in beautiful form. One must know how to use the 3, whether with the word or in dressing, if one wishes to attain triumph.

The 3 permits the realization of our cherished longings. Setting the foundations creates favorable conditions for triumph to occur.

If one day a Tonic 3 falls upon us (this will be seen later), one must do things well done, with precaution, with beauty, with harmony, perfection; and know how to create to have what we long for that day, whether in business, in our work, or in anything.

Number Four — (4)

The Number 4 is the Tetrad; the planet that corresponds to it is Uranus, and it is clear that the Constellation of Cancer is the fourth constellation. As regards color, Dark Red, and Platinum is the metal.

The musical note is FA; to the Number 4 correspond fluids, hormones.

The Number 4 is Magnificence. It has 72 Gates to administer Justice, and this is administered by means of the 35 Principles of Mercy. We are magnificent to the extent that we proceed in accordance with each of those principles.

Justice is administered in accordance with the 35 Principles of Mercy. Justice without mercy would be Tyranny.

JUSTICE AND MERCY GO PERFECTLY BALANCED.

72 GATES = 7 + 2 = 9 (NINTH SPHERE).

One could not be just, truly just, if one has not arrived at the Second Birth. When one has passed the Ninth Sphere, one receives the Flaming Sword; then one is said to be Just. He who has not worked in the Ninth Sphere has no right to the Sword of Justice.

35 Principles of Mercy = 3 + 5 = 8 (Justice). In Arcanum No. 8 the woman has the Sword of Justice and a Balance to weigh good and bad works.

We must Triumph over Sex; the Great Archons of the Law triumphed over Sex; in them are Justice and Mercy balanced.

In the Number 4 we find Expertise in any branch, ORDER, AUTHORITY.

The Number 4 is the Emperor of Kabbalah. It signifies Stability; it is the base for what we want, whether to form a home, business, trip, employment, etc. What is required must be solid, perfect; it must be the Cubic Stone, solid of concrete, not to place a false base, otherwise everything comes down upon us.

If we get a day with Tonic “4,” we must place a firm base to have success. We must do things correct, precise, solid in order not to go to failure. That day we must do things reflecting in precise, solid form; nothing a priori because it goes to failure.

In the Number 4 is the economic aspect, and this we must develop in correct form; it has ascents and descents in its economy. Every time an ascent is needed, it must have solid bases.

The Number 4 must be reflective for all things; let us think that the 4 is Base, and that this base must be solid. One must place a base for family relations.

Number Five — (5)

The Number 5 is the Pentalpha, the Five-Pointed Star. To it corresponds the planet Mercury and the fifth constellation which is Leo.

The Solar Plexus corresponds to the Number 5, and among metals Quicksilver (Mercury). The musical note is SOL. It is related with the Bile; esoterically the planet Mars corresponds to it.

The Number 5 in Kabbalah is the Hierophant, the Rigor, the Law. It is said that it has 72 Gates of access and that each gate has 35 Principles: we are strong to the extent that we abide by those Principles.

The 5 is the Living Fire that is infused within us and is spread within us everywhere; it is Fortitude, Fire.

Let us analyze the 72 Gates.

72 GATES = 7 + 2 = 9 (NINTH SPHERE).

THE 35 PRINCIPLES = 3 + 5 = 8 (INFINITE).

The 9 is the Hermit, the Ninth Sphere, Sex. As to the 8, it is Justice, which in turn is represented by the sign of the Infinite, the Fire of the Phlegethon and the Water of the Acheron. The Fire and the Water — origin of Men, Beasts, and Gods.

Every authentic initiation begins there: the Son of Man comes forth from the Fire and the Water, which is what gives us Fortitude.

The 5 in itself is the Five-Pointed Star, the Pentalpha, Man.

The Authentic Man must be born in the Ninth Sphere; to understand this is very important — hence the 72 Gates because he is born from the Ninth Sphere, which is the one that gives the Potency to the Son of Man.

The 35 Principles are Justice, the Law; the number 5 is the verification.

The Water and the Fire intersect in the Ninth Sphere, forming the sign of the Infinite, a horizontal eight.

The “1” is the Monad, the Unity, the Iod-Heve Jehovah, the Father who is in secret; it is the Divine Triad, and is not incarnated in a Master who has not killed the Ego.

Chapter 41: KABBALAH AND THE YEAR OF BIRTH

We continue now with Mathematics; our whole life is developed with Mathematics. The Law of Karma is developed with Numbers.

• Example: EDUARDO DEL PORTILLO: Birth year 1932. To the year of birth, the same year is added.

1932.

1.

9.

3.

2.

1947 = 1 + 9 + 4 + 7 = 21 (See Arcanum number 21).

21 = 2 + 1 = 3 (See Arcanum number 3).

1947.

1.

9.

4.

7.

1968 = 1 + 9 + 6 + 8 = 24 (See Arcanum 24).

24 = 2 + 4 = 6 (The Lover; he met his sweetheart in 1968).

1968.

1992 = 1 + 9 + 9 + 2 = 21 (See Arcanum 21).

21 = 2 + 1 = 3. Marks a spiritual and economic triumph; do not forget that year.

• Example: ARTURO AGUIRRE: Date of birth, year 1937.

8: Will continue working with success.

The Interior Urgency

The Interior Urgency is calculated by making the Kabbalistic sum of the date of birth, the day, the month, and the year.

• Example: VÍCTOR MANUEL CHÁVEZ: November 17, 1921.

Chapter 42: DAY 17 = 1 + 7 = 8.

Month 11 = 1 + 1 = 2.

Year 1921 = 1 + 9 + 2 + 1 = 1 + 3 = 4.

Chapter 43: DAY 8.

Month 2.

Year 4.

——

14.

14 = 1 + 4 = 5.

5: Arcanum 5 of the Tarot is the rigor, study, Science, analysis, investigation, intellect; that Interior Urgency makes him reasoning.

• Example: Mr. Rodríguez: June 5, 1905.

Chapter 44: DAY 5.

Month 6.

Year 1905 = 1 + 9 + 0 + 5 = 15 = 1 + 5 = 6.

Chapter 45: DAY 5.

Month 6.

Year 6.

——

17.

17 = 1 + 7 = 8.

The 8 makes us patient, passive, energetic, just, upright; there have been sufferings, struggles, study; he has had to pass through many trials.

• Example: EDUARDO DEL PORTILLO: July 5, 1932.

Chapter 46: DAY 5.

Month 7.

Year 1932 = 1 + 9 + 3 + 2 = 15 = 1 + 5 = 6.

Chapter 47: DAY 5.

Month 7.

Year 6.

——

18.

18 = 1 + 8 = 9.

Ninth Sphere, The Hermit, in the midst of all seeking the light; he will come to produce great genial works. Developing a tremendous energy has made him a Hermit on the path of existence.

The Fundamental Tonic

THE FUNDAMENTAL TONIC is the Interior Urgency plus the Kabbalistic sum of the number of letters of the full name.

• Example: VÍCTOR MANUEL CHÁVEZ CABALLERO: 5 Interior Urgency.

V I C T O R M A N U E L C H A V E Z C A B A L L E R O.

1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9.

6 6 6 9.

6 + 6 + 6 + 9 = 27 = 2 + 7 = 9.

9 + 5 = 14, 5 Interior Urgency.

14 = 1 + 4 = 5.

5: FUNDAMENTAL TONIC.

• Example: FEDERICO LAURO ARCE HEREDIA: 8 Interior Urgency.

F E D E R I C O L A U R O A R C E H E R E D I A.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 5 6 7.

8 5 4 7.

8 + 5 + 4 + 7 = 24 = 2 + 4 = 6.

6 + 8 = 14, 8 Interior Urgency.

14 = 1 + 4 = 5.

5 FUNDAMENTAL TONIC — 5: Always lives thinking, reasoning, analyzing.

• Example: MARGARITA GARCÍA SANCHO FERNÁNDEZ: 5 Interior Urgency.

M A R G A R I T A G A R C I A S A N C H O F E R N A N D E Z.

9 6 6 9.

9 + 6 + 6 + 9 = 30 = 3 + 0 = 3.

3 + 5 = 8, 5 Interior Urgency.

8 FUNDAMENTAL TONIC — 8: Trials and sorrow, number of reflection, counsel, comprehension, analysis, patience, trials.

The Tonic of the Day

The Tonic of the Day is calculated by adding the Fundamental Tonic plus the Kabbalistic sum of the date we have chosen.

By means of this system one knows how things will go in order to know how to act on that day.

• Example: VÍCTOR MANUEL CHÁVEZ: April 30, 1969.

Fundamental Tonic: 5.

Chapter 48: DAY 30 = 3 + 0 = 3.

Month 4.

Year 1969 = 1 + 9 + 6 + 9 = 25 = 2 + 5 = 7.

Chapter 49: DAY 3.

Month 4.

Year 7.

14 = 1 + 4 = 5.

5 Fundamental Tonic + 5 = 10.

10 = 1 + 0 = 1 TONIC OF THE DAY April 30, 1969.

THE 10 IS THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE, CHANGE.

THE 1 IS INITIATIVE, THAT WHICH BEGINS, THAT WHICH COMMENCES, ORIGINALITY, EFFORT.

• Example: Mr. GUILLERMO HICKIE: Tonic of May 1, 1969.

Fundamental Tonic: 8.

Chapter 50: DAY 1.

Month 5.

Year 1969 = 1 + 9 + 6 + 9 = 25 = 2 + 5 = 7.

Chapter 51: DAY 1.

Month 5.

Year 7.

13 = 1 + 3 = 4.

8 Fundamental Tonic + 4 = 12.

12 = 1 + 2 = 3 TONIC OF THE DAY May 1, 1969.

THE 13 IS DEATH.

THE 3 IS THE ARTISTIC, THE THREE PRIMARY FORCES, PRODUCTION BOTH MATERIAL AND SPIRITUAL. PRODUCTION, MULTIPLICATION, BEAUTY, THE CREATIVE, HARMONY, ART, BEAUTY.

• Example: Mr. GIL. Tonic of July 27, 1969.

Fundamental Tonic: 3.

Chapter 52: DAY 27 = 2 + 7 = 9.

Month 7.

Year 1969 = 1 + 9 + 6 + 9 = 25 = 2 + 5 = 7.

Chapter 53: DAY 9.

Month 7.

Year 7.

23 2 + 3 = 5.

3 Fundamental Tonic + 5 = 8.

8 TONIC OF THE DAY July 27, 1969.

THE 8 IS TRIALS, SORROWS, ONE MUST MULTIPLY PATIENCE, COOPERATION, KNOW HOW TO WAIT, REFLECT, SERIOUSNESS OF THOUGHT, DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE MOST USEFUL AND THE LEAST USEFUL, BETWEEN WHAT IS AND WHAT IS NOT. DO NOT DO THINGS RECKLESSLY, EXAMINE THE PROS AND CONS WITH PATIENCE. EACH OF THE NUMBERS OF KABBALAH MUST BE STUDIED IN DEPTH.

The Event of the Day

One must know how to choose with exactitude, by day or by night, the hour to successfully realize any activity of reality.

One can choose an hour, a day, a month, a year, for one’s particular affairs. Here conventions do not enter — for example, one must not use the twenty-first hour, but the ninth hour.

• Example: VÍCTOR MANUEL CHÁVEZ:

Date of Birth: November 17, 1921.

Interior Urgency 5.

Fundamental Tonic 5.

Date to investigate: May 14, 1969.

Hour of Event: 9 A.M.

Chapter 54: DAY 14 = 1 + 4 = 5.

Month 5.

Year 1969 = 1 + 9 + 6 + 9 = 25 = 2 + 5 = 7.

Chapter 55: DAY 5.

Month 5 8.

Year 7 + 5 Fundamental Tonic.

17 = 1 + 7 = 8 13 = 1 + 3 = 4 Tonic of the day May 14, 1969.

With the 4 one must know how to square business affairs, the details of any activity. The Most interesting Hour of that day was at 9 a.m.

4 Tonic of the day.

+ 9 Hours.

13 = 1 + 3 = 4 EVENT OF THE DAY.

At that hour he had to deal with a matter of his work, and it went well. The 4 is the base, is to know how to square matters.

• Example: Mrs. MARGARITA SANCHO FERNÁNDEZ.

Date of Birth November 4, 1943.

Interior Urgency 5.

Fundamental Tonic 8.

Date to Investigate June 13, 1969.

Chapter 56: DAY 13 = 1 + 3 = 4.

Month 6.

Year 1969 = 1 + 9 + 6 + 9 = 25 = 2 + 5 = 7.

Chapter 57: DAY 4.

Month 6 8.

Year 7 + 8 Fundamental Tonic.

17 = 1 + 7 = 8 16 = 1 + 6 = 7 Tonic of the day June 13, 1969.

One must struggle so as not to fall; the energy must be intelligently directed, struggle to rise. The 16 is the Smitten Tower.

The EVENT OF THE DAY is at eleven o’clock at night.

11 = 1 + 1 = 2.

7 Tonic of the day.

+ 2 Hour.

9 EVENT OF THE DAY.

Her event of the day is to work with the Ninth Sphere.

In relation to the hours, I must dissent with many kabbalists, because they believe that the Interior Urgency is governed by such planets at such hours; but bear in mind that the order of the calendar is altered, because that was convenient to the priests.

The current calendar is adulterated. The priests of the Middle Ages altered it for the purpose of placing Sunday as the seventh day. The Real Calendar is:

Real Astrological Calendar

• Sunday: monday — Moon.

• Monday: wednesday — Mercury.

• Tuesday: friday — Venus.

• Wednesday: sunday — Sun.

• Thursday: tuesday — Mars.

• Friday: thursday — Jupiter.

• Saturday: saturday — Saturn.

This is the most ancient Order, because it is the order of the Worlds in the Solar System.

The Kabbalists confuse themselves alone; if to that is added an adulterated calendar, on choosing an hour and a determined day to act, it does not come out, it does not give result because it is adulterated.

MATHEMATICS IS INDEED EXACT.

We must learn to use the hours. With this system the exactitude of the facts is proved. This of Mathematics in Kabbalah is very important.

Applying the 22 Arcana to the hours is the true Astral Clock.

Chapter 58: KABBALAH OF PREDICTION

The Initiatory Path in the Arcana of TAROT AND KABBALAH

Chapter 59: FIFTH PART

“Hear, for I will speak excellent things, and I will open my lips for upright things.

For my mouth shall speak truth, and impiety my lips abhor.”

“All the words of my mouth are just; there is nothing perverse

or twisted in them. All of them are right to him who understands, and

reasonable to those who have found wisdom.”

— PROVERBS 8:6-9.

Preparation

The highest type of Clairvoyance that exists in the Universe is the Consciousness. All Avatars or Messengers of the Superior Worlds have been Supra-Conscious Clairvoyants — Hermes Trismegistus, Rama, Krishna, Buddha, Jesus Christ, etc. They were Supra-Conscious beings, Messengers of the Superior Worlds, initiators of new eras of historical evolution.

Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition are the three obligatory paths of Initiation. We shall examine each of these three steps separately.

Let us begin with:

Imagination

For the sage, to imagine is to see. Imagination is the Translucid of the Soul.

The important thing is to learn to concentrate the thought upon one single thing. He who learns to think one single thing performs marvels and prodigies.

The disciple who wishes to attain Imaginative Knowledge must learn to concentrate and know how to meditate profoundly.

The best exercise for attaining Imaginative Knowledge is the following:

“Seated before a plant, we concentrate upon it until forgetting everything that is not it. Then closing the eyes we let ourselves grow drowsy, conserving in our imagination the form and figure of the plant, its structure, its perfume and its color.”

“The disciple shall imagine the living cells of the plant. The disciple must induce sleep during these practices. The disciple drowsing shall meditate profoundly upon the internal constitution of the vegetable, which possesses protoplasm, membrane, and nucleus. The protoplasm is a viscous, elastic and transparent substance very similar to the white of an egg (Albuminoid Matter). The disciple drowsing must reflect upon the four fundamental elements of the protoplasm of the vegetable cell. These four elements are: Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, and Nitrogen.”

“The membrane is a marvelous substance without color, which in water turns out to be totally insoluble. That substance is the famous cellulose. The disciple well concentrated will imagine the nucleus of the cell as a small corpuscle where the Great Universal Life pulses. Within the nucleus is the nuclear filament, the nuclear juice, and the nucleoli, all wrapped by the nuclear membrane. The nucleoli are corpuscles infinitely full of brilliance and beauty, residual products of the incessant reactions of the vegetable organism.”

“The disciple well concentrated must imagine with all logical precision all those mineral substances and organic combinations that develop harmoniously in the cellular protoplasm of the plant. Think of the grains of starch and of the marvelous chlorophyll without which it would be impossible to attain perfect organic syntheses. The chlorophyll is presented in granulated form (chloro-leukocytes) of a very beautiful yellow color (xanthophyll). The latter, under the solar rays, becomes that precious green of the vegetable. Every plant is a perfect cellular community of incalculable perfections. The student must meditate on the perfection of the plant and on all its scientific processes, full of a mystical beatitude and enchanted with so much beauty.”

“The mystic being is enraptured remembering all the phenomena of nutrition, relation, and reproduction of each vegetable cell.”

“Let us look at the calyx of the flower; there are its sexual organs, there is the pollen, the masculine reproductive element. There is the Pistil or Gynoecium, the most precious feminine organ with its Ovary, Style, and Stigma.”

“The Ovary is a sac full of marvelous ovules. In relation to the Pistil, the stamens can occupy various positions: Insertion below the Ovary, around the ovary, or above it.”

“The fecundation is verified with the function of the feminine germs and masculine gametes. The pollen, masculine gamete, after emerging from the anther then reaches the Ovary of the plant where the Ovule, feminine gamete, anxiously awaits it.”

“The seed is a precious and enchanting Ovule which after having been fecundated transforms and grows. Let the student now remember that epoch in which, upon which he is now meditating, it sprouted like a delicate little stem. Imagine it growing slowly until seeing it in the Imagination putting forth branches, leaves and flowers. Remember that everything that is born must die. Imagine now the process of the dying of the plant. Its flowers wither, its leaves dry up and the wind carries them away, and finally only some dry logs remain.”

This process of birth and death is marvelous. Meditating on all this — that process of birth and death of a plant, meditating on all that marvelous life of the vegetable, if the concentration is perfect and if the sleep manages to become profound, then the chakras of the Astral Body spin, develop, unfold.

Meditation must be correct. The Mind must be exact. Logical thinking and the exact concept are needed in order that the Internal Senses develop absolutely perfectly.

Every incoherence, every lack of logic and of mortal equilibrium, obstructs and damages the evolution and progress of the Chakras or Discs, or Lotus Flowers of the Astral Body. The student needs much Patience, Will, Tenacity, and Absolutely Conscious Faith. On some day amid sleep, during meditation, a distant scene arises, a landscape of nature, a face, etc. This is the sign that one is progressing. The student elevates himself little by little to Imaginative Knowledge. The student goes on tearing the veil of Isis little by little. On some day the plant on which he is meditating disappears, and then he sees a beautiful child replacing the vegetable. That child is the Elemental of the plant. The Vegetable Soul.

Later during sleep his Consciousness awakens, and then he can say: “I am in Astral Body.” The Consciousness awakens little by little. By this path comes the instant when the disciple has acquired the Continuous Consciousness.

When the student enjoys Continuous Consciousness, he no longer dreams; he can no longer dream because his Consciousness is awake. Then even when his body is asleep, he moves consciously in the Superior Worlds.

Exact Meditation awakens the Internal Senses and produces a total transformation of the Internal Bodies. He who awakens the Consciousness has reached Imaginative Knowledge. He moves in the world of symbolic images.

Those symbols he formerly saw when dreaming, he now sees without dreaming; before he saw them with sleeping consciousness, now he moves among them with vigilance consciousness, even though his Physical Body is profoundly asleep. On reaching Imaginative Knowledge the student sees the symbols, but does not understand them. He comprehends that all of nature is a living script that he does not know. He needs to elevate himself to Inspired Knowledge to interpret the sacred symbols of the Great Nature.

Inspiration

We shall now study Inspiration.

Inspired Knowledge confers upon us the power of Interpreting the Symbols of Great Nature. The interpretation of symbols is very delicate. Many clairvoyants became homicidal or fell into the crime of public calumny for not knowing how to interpret the symbols.

The symbols must be analyzed coolly without superstition, malice, distrust, pride, vanity, fanaticism, prejudice, preconceptions, hatreds, envy, greed, jealousy, etc. All defects are of the I, of the Myself, of the Reincarnating Ego.

When the I intervenes translating, interpreting symbols, then it alters the meaning of the Secret Writing, and the Clairvoyant falls into the crime that can take him to prison.

The interpretation must be tremendously analytical, highly scientific, and essentially mystical. One must learn to see and to interpret in the absence of the I, of the Myself.

It seems strange to many mystics that we brothers of the Universal Gnostic Movement speak of Divine Clairvoyance with the Penal Code in hand. Those who think thus consider Spirituality there as something that has no relation with daily life. Such persons are mistaken; they ignore that what each Soul is in the Superior Worlds is the exact result of the daily life that we all carry in this Valley of Tears.

If our words, thoughts and acts are not just, then the result appears in the Internal Worlds, and the Law falls upon us.

Law is Law: “ignorance of the Law does not exclude its fulfillment.” The worst sin is Ignorance. To teach the one who does not know is a work of Mercy. Upon Clairvoyant men weighs all the tremendous responsibility of the Law.

One must know how to interpret the symbols of the Great Nature in absolute absence of the I. Self-criticism must be multiplied, because when the I of the clairvoyant believes it knows much, then it feels itself infallible, omniscient, wise, and even supposes that it sees and that it interprets in the absence of the I. This class of Clairvoyance so strengthens the I, that it ends by being transformed into terribly perverse Demons. When a clairvoyant of this class sees his own Inner God, then he translates the vision according to his tenebrous criterion, and exclaims saying: “I am doing very well.”

One must know how to interpret on the basis of the Law of Philosophical Analogies, on the Law of Correspondences and of Numerical Kabbalah. We recommend the Mystical Kabbalah of Dion Fortune. This book is marvelous. Study it.

He who has hatred, resentments, jealousy, envy, pride, etc., does not succeed in elevating himself to the second step called Inspired Knowledge.

When we elevate ourselves to Inspired Knowledge we understand and comprehend that the accidental accumulation of objects does not exist. Truly all the phenomena of Nature and all the objects are intimately linked organically among themselves, depending internally on one another and conditioning each other mutually. Truly no phenomenon of Nature can be comprehended integrally if we consider it in isolation.

Everything is in incessant movement; everything changes; nothing is still. In every object there exists internal struggle. The object is positive and negative at the same time. The quantitative is transformed into qualitative. Evolution is a process of complication of energy.

Inspired Knowledge allows us to know the interrelation between all that is, that has been, and shall be.

Matter is nothing but Condensed Energy. The infinite modifications of Energy are absolutely unknown both to Historical Materialism and to Dialectical Materialism.

“Energy is equal to mass times the velocity of light squared.” We Gnostics distance ourselves from the antithetical struggle that exists between Metaphysics and Dialectical Materialism. Those are the two poles of Ignorance, the two antitheses of error.

We go by another way. We are Gnostics; we consider life as an integral whole.

The object is a point in space that serves as vehicle to determined sums of values.

Inspired Knowledge allows us to study the intimate relation existing between all the forms and values of Great Nature.

Dialectical Materialism does not know the values; it only studies the object. Metaphysics does not know the values, nor does it know the object.

We Gnostics distance ourselves from the two antitheses of Ignorance and study man and Nature integrally.

Life is all Energy determined and determining. Life is Subject and Object at the same time.

“The Disciple who wants to attain Inspired Knowledge must concentrate profoundly upon music. The Magic Flute of Mozart reminds us of an Egyptian Initiation. The nine symphonies of Beethoven and many other great classical compositions elevate us to the Superior Worlds.” The disciple profoundly concentrated upon the music must observe himself in it like the bee in the honey, the product of all its work.

When the disciple has reached Inspired Knowledge, he must then prepare for Intuitive Knowledge.

Intuition

The World of Intuitions is the World of Mathematics. The student who wants to elevate himself to the World of Intuition must be a Mathematician, or at least have notions of Arithmetic.

Mathematical formulas confer Intuitive Knowledge.

“The student must concentrate on a mathematical formula and meditate profoundly upon it. Afterward empty the mind and place it totally in blankness, then await for the Internal Being to teach us the concept of the content enclosed in the mathematical formula.” For example, before Kepler enunciated publicly his famous principle that “The squares of the times of the revolutions of the planets around the sun are to each other as the cubes of their distances,” the formula already existed; it was contained in the Solar System, even when the sages did not know it.

The student can concentrate mentally on this formula, empty his mind, become drowsy with mind in blankness, and await for his own internal being to reveal to him all the marvelous secrets contained in Kepler’s formula.

Newton’s formula on Universal Gravitation can also serve to exercise us in Initiation. This formula is the following: “The bodies attract each other in direct ratio to their masses and in inverse ratio to the square of their distances.” If the student practices with Tenacity and Supreme Patience, his own Internal Being will teach him or instruct him in the work. Then he will study at the feet of the Master; he will elevate himself to Intuitive Knowledge. Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition, are the three obligatory paths of Initiation. He who has climbed the three steps of Direct Knowledge has attained Supra-Consciousness.

In the World of Intuition we only find Omniscience. The World of Intuition is the World of the Being, the World of the Innermost.

In that world the I, the Myself, the Ego, cannot enter.

The World of Intuition is Universal Spirit of Life.

The World of Imaginative Knowledge is a world of symbolic images.

INSPIRATION CONFERS UPON US THE POWER OF INTERPRETING SYMBOLS.

In the World of Intuition we see the Great Cosmic Theater, and we are the spectators. We attend the Great Drama of Life.

In that world all the Drama that is represented on the Cosmic Stage is reduced to terrible arithmetic operations. That is the Amphitheater of Cosmic Science.

From that Region of Mathematics we see that there exist physical masses that are above and below the limits of external sensory perception. Those masses are invisible; only with Clairvoyance are they perceived.

Matter is Condensed Energy. When the vibration is very slow, the mass is below the limits of external sensory perception. When the vibratory movement is very rapid, the mass is above the limits of external sensory perception. With the telescope we can only see worlds whose degree of vibration is active within the limits of external sensory perception.

Above and below the limits of external sensory perception, there exist worlds, Solar Systems, and Constellations populated by every class of living beings.

The so-called Matter is Energy that condenses into infinite masses.

The senses of external perception are very little of what they manage to perceive.

Dialectical Materialism and Metaphysics now turn out to be untimely and outmoded.

We brothers of the Gnostic Movement go by a distinct path.

It is urgent that men of science study the treatise of occult science of Doctor Rudolf Steiner, a great Hungarian physician born in 1861. Friend and disciple of Nietzsche and Ernst Haeckel, founder of the Anthroposophical Society.

It is indispensable that those lovers of science investigate thoroughly the marvelous Oriental Wisdom poured forth as a river of gold in the immortal pages of the Secret Doctrine.

That work consists of six volumes and is a monument of Archaic Wisdom.

The Great Master H.P.B. is the genial author of that precious treasure of Ancient Wisdom.

Those who attain the Supra-Consciousness become true Illuminated Clairvoyants. No Authentic Clairvoyant boasts of his faculties.

No Legitimate Clairvoyant says that he is a clairvoyant.

When a True Clairvoyant sees something important, he gives his concept with utmost culture and supreme respect to one’s neighbor. He never says: “I am seeing.” He always says: “We conceptualize,” “We have learned.” Thus is how all those who have reached the ineffable summits of Supra-Consciousness are distinguished by their courtesy, humility, and modesty.

Read the “Kundalini Yoga” of Sivananda. Meditate upon the Blessed White Lodge. Investigate the Gnostic treasures. Meditate upon the profound symbology contained in each of the Arcana of the Tarot.

Those who attain the heights of Supra-Consciousness enter the Amphitheater of Cosmic Science.

The triple path of Revolutionary Cosmic Science, Philosophy, and Mysticism leads us to the ineffable regions of the Great Light.

Gnosis is highly Scientific, highly Philosophical, and transcendentally Mystical.

NOTE: This chapter is a transcription of section 22 of the book “FUNDAMENTAL NOTIONS OF ENDOCRINOLOGY AND CRIMINOLOGY.” So that the disciple may complete his preparation, to use the Kabbalah of Prediction with all the Purity that is the indispensable requirement. He may study chapter No. 17: “Esoteric Discipline of the Mind,” from the book «IGNEOUS ROSE», which is the complement to the chapter expounded here. Meditate profoundly upon the number (85) and upon its Kabbalistic Sums. Investigate with the deepest of your Soul, for therein is found the key for preparation to the Kabbalah of Prediction. 85 = 8 + 5 = 13 = 1 + 3 = 4.

• 8 PATIENCE.

• 5 INTELLIGENCE.

• 13 MYSTICAL DEATH.

• 3 WORK WITH THE DIVINE MOTHER.

• 1 WILL.

• 4 WORK WITH THE CROSS, WITH SEX.

Prediction Synthesis

All Avatars or Messengers of the Superior Worlds have been Supra-Conscious Clairvoyants — Hermes Trismegistus, Rama, Krishna, Buddha, Jesus Christ, etc.

Chapter 60: ARCANUM 22, THE RETURN: THE TRUTH, THE CROWN OF LIFE: “TRIUMPH. EVERYTHING TURNS OUT WELL. POWER. STRENGTH. GOOD LUCK.”

Arcanum No. 1

ARCANUM No. 1 signifies that which is initiated, that which begins, that which is sown, that which commences. Every beginning is difficult; one must work hard, one must sow in order to reap. It gives aptitude to resolve problems. It confers power both to awaken and to dominate the passions in the Physical World.

It tends to the organization of the natural elements and to the dominion of the forces in movement. It gives aptitude to acquire, dispose, model, apply.

Arcanum No. 1 is the Unity, the Principle of the Light, the Father, the World as manifestation, Man as a living unity, complete in himself, the Foundation of the Reason of all acts, the Synthesis of all, the Initiation into the Mysteries and the power to decipher them and serve oneself of them, the Volitional Power. Arcanum No. 1 gives the Triumph but with struggle due to Karma.

KABBALISTIC SEPHIRAH: “KETHER”.

HEBREW LETTER: “ALEPH”.

TRANSCENDENT AXIOM: “BE IN YOUR WORKS AS YOU ARE IN YOUR THOUGHTS”.

ELEMENT OF PREDICTION: “Promises dominion of material obstacles, new social relations, fortunate initiatives, the concourse of faithful friends who help in the development of projects and jealous friends who obstruct them.”

Arcanum No. 2

Arcanum No. 2 is the Thesis posing the Antithesis. By means of this Arcanum the Matrix is modeled, where the images take form.

It is the Spring that accumulates the Waters of the Fountain.

It is the Dual manifestation of the Unity. The Unity, on unfolding, gives origin to the Receptive and Productive Femininity throughout all Nature.

Arcanum No. 3

Arcanum No. 3: It is said that he is the modeler — clearly, by means of the Word, everything in Creation, in Nature, is modeled.

Arcanum No. 3 signifies Success; it is production both Material and Spiritual.

HEBREW LETTER: “GIMEL”.

TRANSCENDENT AXIOM: “YOUR LOOM IS WEAVING, CLOTH FOR YOUR USE AND CLOTHS WHICH YOU SHALL NOT USE”.

KABBALISTIC SEPHIRAH: “CHESED”.

HEBREW LETTER: “DALETH”.

TRANSCENDENT AXIOM: “GIVE BLESSING TO THE WORK OF YOUR HANDS, AND IN THAT OF THOUGHT PLACE HEART”.

ELEMENT OF PREDICTION: “Promises material achievements, bases for higher enterprises, favorable results in the invested effort, and painful conditions to attain them. Friendships are simultaneously help and obstacle. Luck is one’s own and adverse at the same instant.”

Arcanum No. 5: It is Indication, Demonstration, Teaching, Karmic Law, Philosophy, Science, Art. It is the Law, Rigor.

KABBALISTIC SEPHIRAH: “GEBURAH”.

HEBREW LETTER: “HE”.

TRANSCENDENT AXIOM: “BY HEARING I HAD HEARD OF YOU, BUT NOW MY EYES SEE YOU AND MY HEART FEELS YOU”.

ELEMENT OF PREDICTION: “Freedom and restrictions, new experiences, acquisition of profitable teachings, loves and amours, journeys of frustrated prosperity. Propitious friends and friends of sinister omen. Beings and things that come and go — the first to depart, the second to return.”

Arcanum No. 6

Arcanum No. 6: It is the Lover, enchainment, equilibrium, terrible struggle between Love and Desire. Amorous Union of Man and Woman, Linkage. It is the Supreme Affirmation of the Inner Christ and the Supreme Negation of the Devil.

In Arcanum No. 6 one finds oneself having to choose this or that Path.

In Arcanum No. 6 is the struggle between the two ternaries. The mysteries of the Lingam-Yoni.

KABBALISTIC SEPHIRAH: “TIPHERETH”.

HEBREW LETTER: “VAU”.

TRANSCENDENT AXIOM: “WORKS YOU GIVE ME, LORD, BUT WITH THEM FORTITUDE”.

ELEMENT OF PREDICTION: “Privileges and duties in the relations of the sexes. Antagonisms of forces. Separations and Divorces. Possession of what is pursued and ardent desires that are fulfilled — some that satisfy, and others that disappoint.”

Arcanum No. 7

Arcanum No. 7: It is Struggle, Battle, Difficulties. The warrior must learn to use the Staff and the Sword; thus he will achieve the Great Victory. Our motto is Thelema (Will).

KABBALISTIC SEPHIRAH: “NETZACH”.

HEBREW LETTER: “ZAIN”.

TRANSCENDENT AXIOM: “WHEN SCIENCE SHALL ENTER YOUR HEART AND WISDOM IS SWEET TO YOUR SOUL, ASK AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN TO YOU”.

ELEMENT OF PREDICTION: “Promises magnetic power, accurate understanding (union of intellect and intuition), justice and reparations, honor and dishonor, attainment of what is pursued with determination, satisfactions and contrarieties.”

Arcanum No. 8

Arcanum No. 8: It signifies Hard Trials; it is Rectitude, Justice, Equilibrium. One must seek good whatever it costs, for the Masters of Medicine, when it is a question of some sick person who is dying, try to save him because that is the Law; they fulfill themselves by doing good.

In Arcanum No. 8 are contained the Initiatic Trials.

KABBALISTIC SEPHIRAH: “HOD”.

HEBREW LETTER: “CHETH”.

TRANSCENDENT AXIOM: “BUILD AN ALTAR IN YOUR HEART, BUT DO NOT MAKE OF YOUR HEART AN ALTAR”.

ELEMENT OF PREDICTION: “Promises retributions, punishments, and rewards, gratitudes and ingratitudes. Compensation for services rendered.”

Arcanum No. 9

Arcanum No. 9: It is the Hermit, prudent and wise; it is Solitude. In the Ninth Sphere there are great sorrows.

In the Ninth Sphere exists Supreme Pain, as Dante says in the “Divine Comedy.” One must know how to understand, one must know how to learn to suffer, to be resigned. Those who are not, fail.

KABBALISTIC SEPHIRAH: “YESOD”.

HEBREW LETTER: “TETH”.

TRANSCENDENT AXIOM: “GO UP THE MOUNTAIN AND CONTEMPLATE THE PROMISED LAND, BUT I DO NOT TELL YOU THAT YOU WILL ENTER IT”.

ELEMENT OF PREDICTION: “Promises science to make discoveries, order in realizing them and caution to serve oneself of them. Propitious associations and inauspicious associations. Friends who help and friends who obstruct. Light of reason and light of intuition — the first for the immediate, and the second for what is to be.”

Arcanum No. 10

Arcanum No. 10 from the esoteric point of view is truly transcendental. The circle with a point at the center is a totally phallic symbol; the point lengthened becomes a line, the Lingam. If we place the line to the left, it is the Number 10; in this number are found all the secrets of the Lingam-Yoni, the Laws of Irradiation and Absorption. It is not possible to attain Intimate Self-realization of the Being without having worked in the Sahaja Maithuna.

Arcanum No. 10 is the Wheel of Samsara, the Cosmogenic Wheel of Ezekiel. In this wheel we find the Battling of the Antitheses. In this wheel is enclosed all the secret of the Tree of Knowledge.

Arcanum No. 10 is the Wheel of the Centuries — in the tragic wheel that is the Law of the ancient Return; it is logical that this law is intimately linked with the Law of Recurrence — that is, everything happens again just as it occurred, plus its good or bad consequences; the same dramas repeat themselves; this is called Karma.

KABBALISTIC SEPHIRAH: “MALKUTH”.

HEBREW LETTER: “IOD”.

When we make a petition, many times the angels answer us by showing us the clock. The Disciple must look at the hour on the clock. That is the Clock of Destiny; in the hour is the answer. In esoteric allegory one is always answered with the Clock. One must learn to understand the Clock.

HORARY: “1ST HOUR OF APOLLONIUS”: “transcendental study of occultism”.

TRANSCENDENT AXIOM: “COSTLY IS THE KNOWLEDGE YOU BUY WITH EXPERIENCE, AND MORE COSTLY THAT WHICH YOU HAVE YET TO BUY”.

ELEMENT OF PREDICTION: “Promises good and bad fortune, ascents and descents, legitimate possessions and doubtful possessions. Recommendations of past contingencies and circumstances that repeat themselves in distinct form.”

Arcanum No. 11

Arcanum No. 11: It is the work with Fire, with the Force of Love. Persuasion in itself is a force of a subtle, Spiritual order.

Occult Wisdom says: “Fan the Flame of the Spirit with the Force of Love.”

Persuasion has more power than Violence.

HEBREW LETTER: “KAPH”.

HORARY: “2ND HOUR OF APOLLONIUS”.

TRANSCENDENT AXIOM: “REJOICING IN HOPE, ENDURING IN TRIBULATION, BE CONSTANT IN PRAYER”.

ELEMENT OF PREDICTION: “Promises control of the direction one follows, dominion of the elements, vitality, rejuvenation, acquisition and loss of friends through matters of the family. Sorrows, obstacles, jealousies, betrayals, and resignation to bear up under contrarieties.”

Arcanum No. 12

Arcanum No. 12: It implies Sacrifices, Sufferings; it is the card of the Apostolate.

Arcanum No. 12 brings much suffering, many struggles. It has a very beautiful synthesis because 1 + 2 = 3, which signifies Production both Material and Spiritual; it is powerful in the spiritual and the social. This Arcanum promises struggle in the economic and the social.

HEBREW LETTER: “LAMED”.

HORARY: “THIRD HOUR OF APOLLONIUS”. “The serpents, the dogs, and the fire (sexual magic, work with the Kundalini).”

TRANSCENDENT AXIOM: “THOUGH THE SUN FATIGUES YOU BY DAY AND THE MOON SADDENS YOU BY NIGHT, DO NOT BRING YOUR FEET TO THE SLIPPERY PLACE, NOR SLEEP WHEN YOU STAND GUARD”.

ELEMENT OF PREDICTION: “Promises contrarieties, anguishes, falls. Material losses in some conditions of life and gains in others. Presentiments that encourage and presentiments that dishearten.”

Arcanum No. 13

Arcanum No. 13: It is Death, but it can also signify Something New; there may be Wealth, there may be Misery; it is a number of great syntheses.

Arcanum No. 13 contains the gospel of Judas. Judas represents the Death of the I. The Gospel of Judas is that of Death; it is the Dissolution of the Ego. Judas symbolizes the Ego, which must be decapitated.

HEBREW LETTER: “MEM”.

HORARY: “FOURTH HOUR OF APOLLONIUS”: “The neophyte shall wander by night among the sepulchres, shall experience the horror of visions, shall give himself to magic and Goetia (this means that the disciple shall see himself attacked by millions of black magicians in the astral world; those tenebrous magicians try to draw the disciple away from the luminous path).”

TRANSCENDENT AXIOM: “THE NIGHT HAS PASSED AND THE NEW DAY HAS COME; CLOTHE YOURSELF, THEN, WITH THE ARMS OF LIGHT”.

ELEMENT OF PREDICTION: “Promises disenchantments, disillusionments, death of affections, refusals in what is requested, collapse, pure and pleasing joys to the Soul, improvements of painful enjoyment, help from friends. Renewal of conditions — the good for worse and the bad for better.”

Arcanum No. 14

Arcanum No. 14: It is Chastity, the Transmutation of the Waters. One must work hard chiseling the Stone, without which Sexual Transmutation cannot be obtained.

HEBREW LETTER: “NUN”.

HORARY: “FIFTH HOUR OF APOLLONIUS”: “The superior waters of the sky (during this time the disciple learns to be pure and chaste because he comprehends the value of his seminal liquor).”

TRANSCENDENT AXIOM: “BE NOT LIKE STRAW BEFORE THE WIND, NOR LIKE WIND BEFORE THE STRAW”.

ELEMENT OF PREDICTION: “Promises friendships, reciprocal affections, obligations, chemical combinations and of interests, afflicted loves, devoted loves, treacherous loves. Things that remain and things that depart — the first to depart, the second to return.”

Arcanum No. 15

Arcanum No. 15: It is the Pluralized I, which esoterically is called Satan.

Arcanum No. 15 represents Passion, based on the Luciferian Fire. It is necessary to know that the principal defect is Sexual Passion, Lust.

In the Kabbalistic synthesis of Arcanum No. 15 we have that 1 + 5 = 6; the 6 in itself is Sex; this signifies that in Sex is the greatest force that can liberate man, but also the greatest force that can enslave him.

Arcanum No. 15 signifies the work with the Devil. The process of Dissolution of the “I.” Eden is Sex itself, and the Inner Beast, the Psychological I that closes our way to Eden, is at the gate of Sex to invite us to the Ejaculation of the Seminal Liquor, or to lead us astray from that gate, making us run after schools, theories, sects, etc.

HEBREW LETTER: “SAMECH”.

HORARY: “SIXTH HOUR OF APOLLONIUS”: “Here it is necessary to remain quiet, immobile, because of fear (this signifies the terrible trial of the guardian of the threshold, before whom much valor is needed to overcome him).”

TRANSCENDENT AXIOM: “THEY MADE ME KEEPER OF VINEYARDS, AND MY VINEYARD, WHICH WAS MINE, I HAVE NOT KEPT”.

ELEMENT OF PREDICTION: “Promises controversies, passions, fatalities. Prosperity by way of legality and fatality. Affections harmful to him who feels them and to him who is the object of them. Vehement longings and violent situations.”

Arcanum No. 16

Arcanum No. 16: The departure from Eden coincides with Arcanum 16. Eden or Paradise must be understood as Sex itself. We departed through the gates of Sex, and only through it shall we return.

Arcanum 16 is very dangerous. It is necessary to Awaken Consciousness so as not to walk blindly; the blind may fall into the Abyss. The initiate who spills the Vase of Hermes inevitably falls.

Terrible is the struggle between Brain, Heart, and Sex. If Sex Dominates the Brain, the Five-Pointed Star, the Pentagram, remains inverted, and the man with his head downward and his two legs upward is hurled to the bottom of the Abyss. He falls struck down by Arcanum 16. He who lets himself fall, falls by Arcanum 16, which is the Smitten Tower — those who have failed in the Great Work of the Father.

HEBREW LETTER: “AYIN”.

HORARY: “SEVENTH HOUR OF APOLLONIUS”: “Fire comforts inanimate beings, and if any priest, a man sufficiently purified, steals it and then projects it, if he mixes it with the holy oil and consecrates it, he will succeed in curing all diseases simply by applying it to the affected part (here the initiate sees his material fortune threatened and his business affairs fail).”

TRANSCENDENT AXIOM: “LIGHT AT DAWN, LIGHT AT MIDDAY, LIGHT AT NIGHTFALL — WHAT MATTERS IS THAT IT BE LIGHT”.

ELEMENT OF PREDICTION: “Promises unforeseen accidents, tempests, upheavals, deaths. Benefits through concepts of good and bad circumstances. Reciprocity in love and in hate, in indifference and in zeal, in betrayal and in loyalty.”

Arcanum No. 17

Arcanum No. 17: The Eight-Pointed Star always represents Venus, the Morning Star. In Arcanum No. 17 we find the Venustic Initiation.

The symbol of Venus shows us that the Circle of the Spirit must be over the Cross, Sex — that is, Sex under control of the Spirit. The inverted sign represents that the Spirit is dominated by Sex.

HEBREW LETTER: “PHE”.

HORARY: “EIGHTH HOUR OF APOLLONIUS”: “the astral virtues of the elements, of the seeds of every kind.”

TRANSCENDENT AXIOM: “SOME MEN ASK FOR SIGNS TO BELIEVE AND OTHERS ASK FOR WISDOM TO ACT, BUT THE HOPEFUL HEART HAS EVERYTHING IN ITS HOPES”.

ELEMENT OF PREDICTION: “Promises intuition, sustenance, illumination, births, brief afflictions and brief satisfactions, vexations and reconciliations, privations, abandonments and gains.”

Arcanum No. 18

Arcanum No. 18: The Kabbalistic synthesis of Arcanum 18 is 1 + 8 = 9, the Ninth Sphere, Sex. If we add 9 + 9 = 18, in that there is a balance. One 9 is the positive aspect and the other is the negative aspect; but in itself the 18 results negative, ill-omened — the Secret Enemies of the Arcanum of the Twilight. For in the work of the Ninth Sphere one must struggle greatly, because one must learn to sublimate the Sexual Energy — therein lies the key of all the Empires.

In Arcanum 18 we find the dangers of Initiation, the Hidden and Secret Enemies who set themselves to damage the initiation. The subterranean struggle in the dominions of the Ninth Sphere.

In Arcanum 18 we must wage bloody battles against the Tenebrous Ones. The Black Lodge, the Abyss, Temptation, the Demons… who do not wish the initiate to escape their claws.

This is the path on the Razor’s Edge. “This is the Path that is full of dangers within and without,” as the Venerable Master Sivananda says.

In the Internal Worlds the Tenebrous Ones of Arcanum 18 assault the student violently.

In the terrible Arcanum 18 we find the Witchcraft of Thessaly; there is the kitchen of Canidia, erotic magical ceremonies, rites to make oneself loved, dangerous philters, etc. We must warn the Gnostic Students that the most dangerous philter that the Tenebrous Ones use to draw the Student off the Path on the Razor’s Edge is the Intellect.

HEBREW LETTER: “TZADDI”.

HORARY: “NINTH HOUR OF APOLLONIUS”. “Here nothing has ended yet; the initiate increases his perception until he surpasses the limits of the solar system, beyond the zodiac, reaches the threshold of the infinite, attains the limits of the intelligible world, the divine light is revealed and with it appear new fears and dangers (study on the lesser mysteries, the nine arcades through which the student must ascend).”

TRANSCENDENT AXIOM: “LET YOUR CHARITY BE AN INEXHAUSTIBLE GRANARY AND YOUR PATIENCE NO LESS INEXHAUSTIBLE THAN YOUR CHARITY”.

ELEMENT OF PREDICTION: “Promises instability, inconstancy, ambushes, confusion, changes, uncertain situations, long deliberations, unexpected impediments, delayed results, apparent triumphs and failures.”

Arcanum No. 19

Arcanum No. 19: In the Kabbalah of prediction it promises Total Victory, whether through one’s own efforts or with the help of other persons.

Arcanum 19 is the Arcanum of Victory, or of Successes. That Victory relates to all the aspects of life — the economic, social, political, moral, etc.

The Kabbalistic synthesis of Arcanum 19 is 1 + 9 = 10; the 10 is a profoundly sexual number; there is the circle and the line, the mysteries of the Lingam-Yoni. It is not possible to attain Self-realization except by means of the Transmutation of the Sexual Energy.

In Arcanum 19 a Great Alliance is established between two Souls. Man and Woman must kill Desire to attain the Great Alliance, to realize the Great Work.

HEBREW LETTER: “QOPH”.

HORARY: “TENTH HOUR OF APOLLONIUS”: “The gates of heaven are opened and man emerges from his lethargy. (This is the number 10 of the 2nd great initiation of greater mysteries that permits the initiate to travel in etheric body or in Jinas state; this is the wisdom of John the Baptist: the decapitation.)”

TRANSCENDENT AXIOM: “TAKE THE SHIELD OF YOUR FAITH AND ADVANCE WITH RESOLUTE STEP, WHETHER IN FAVOR OF THE WIND OR AGAINST ALL THE WINDS”.

ELEMENT OF PREDICTION: “Promises the increase of power, successes of endeavors. Joy in the acts that are performed. Benefits through one’s own efforts and those of others. Inheritances. Clarity of what is desired, fire that consumes what is desired.”

Arcanum No. 20

Arcanum No. 20: It is that of the Resurrection of the Dead. Truly the Resurrection of the Soul is only possible by means of the Cosmic Initiation. Human beings are dead and can only resurrect by means of Initiation.

HEBREW LETTER: “RESH”.

HORARY: “ELEVENTH HOUR OF APOLLONIUS”: “The angels, the cherubim and the seraphim fly with rumors of wings; there is rejoicing in heaven, the earth awakens and the sun that emerges from Adam (this process pertains to the great initiations of greater mysteries, where only the terror of the law reigns).”

TRANSCENDENT AXIOM: “FLOWER IN THE APPLE TREE, FRUIT IN THE VINE, SOWN IN MATURITY”.

ELEMENT OF PREDICTION: “Promises harmonious choices, fortunate initiatives, labors, gains. Compensations for the good and for the bad. Faithful friends who nullify the action of treacherous friends. Jealousies for the good one enjoys. Afflictions for losses.”

Arcanum No. 21

Arcanum No. 21: It can be represented with the inverted Pentagonal Star, which represents Black Magic.

Arcanum No. 21 is the Failure, the Foolishness, the Fool of the Tarot. He who works in Self-realization is exposed to commit follies. One must work with the 3 Factors of the Revolution of the Consciousness:

• TO DIE.

• TO BE BORN.

• SACRIFICE FOR OTHERS.

TRANSMUTATION: It indicates that one must Transmute. The Brain must control Sex; when the brain takes control over sex, when Sex comes to dominate the Brain, then the Five-Pointed Star — Man — goes head-first to the Abyss. This is the Inverted Pentagram, the symbol of Black Magic.

In this Arcanum the danger is precisely indicated by the Crocodile.

HEBREW LETTER: “SHIN”.

HORARY: “TWELFTH HOUR OF APOLLONIUS”: “The towers of fire are disturbed (this is the triumphant entry of the master into the bliss without limits of nirvana, or he renounces the bliss of nirvana for love of humanity and becomes a Bodhisattva of compassion).”

TRANSCENDENT AXIOM: “INTO HIS SECRET MY SOUL DOES NOT ENTER, NOR INTO HIS HARBOR MY SHIP”.

ELEMENT OF PREDICTION: “Promises deprivation of something one enjoys, obfuscation in trying to obtain what one wants, ruin in what most exalts, danger of isolation, treacherous gifts, deceiving promises, disillusions, end of some things and beginning of others.”

Arcanum No. 22

Arcanum No. 22: It is the Crown of Life, the return to the Light, the incarnation of Truth within us.

The Kabbalistic synthesis of Arcanum No. 22 is 2 + 2 = 4: Man, Woman, Fire and Water; the Iod-He-Vau-He; Man, Woman, Phallus, Uterus. Here is the Holy and Mysterious TETRAGRAMMATON, the Holy Four.

HEBREW LETTER: “TAU”.

HORARY: “THERE EXISTS AN HOUR THIRTEEN, WHICH IS THAT OF LIBERATION”.

TRANSCENDENT AXIOM: “THE SUN RISES AND THE SUN SETS, AND AGAIN RETURNS TO ITS PLACE WHERE IT IS BORN ANEW”.

ELEMENT OF PREDICTION: “Promises long life, inheritances, distinctions, enjoyment of honest delights, rivals who dispute affections, friends who watch over us, obstacles and aptitude to overcome them, uncertain situations and contingencies that clarify them.”

”

TRANSCENDENT AXIOM: "WHEN SCIENCE SHALL ENTER YOUR HEART AND WISDOM IS SWEET TO YOUR SOUL, ASK AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN TO YOU".

Chapter 61: TAROT CONSULTATION

• Light the altar or use three candles.

• Spread out the Pentagram.

• Separate the 22 Major Arcana from the Minor.

• Sign yourself and seal yourself with the Microcosmic Star. Invoke the Father and ask Him for illumination of the Holy Spirit.

• Shuffle the 22 Major Arcana, with the face of the cards downward; draw one Major Arcanum and set it aside without looking at it.

• Shuffle the 56 Minor Arcana and draw a card; shuffle again and draw another Minor Arcanum. In total, 3 cards.

• Add the Major Arcanum to the result of the sum of the two digits of each of the Minor ones. If the result is greater than 22, the digits are added again; the final result is the card of the Prediction, the Result. This is clarified with the prediction of the 2 Minor Arcana.

Example No. 1:

The Tamed Lion: 11 → 11.

The Prodigy: 26 = 2 + 6 = 8 → 8.

Preeminence: 42 = 4 + 2 = 6 → 6.

25 = 2 + 5 = 7.

Result: 7 — The Triumph. (Answer).

Example No. 2:

Retribution: 10 → 10.

Exchange: 30 = 3 + 0 = 3 → 3.

Revelation: 59 = 5 + 9 = 14 = 1 + 4 = 5 → 5.

Result: 18 — The Twilight. (Answer).

It is necessary to know the 22 Arcana. After they are known, the practical part of Prediction shall be used, intelligently, in cases of much importance.

It is necessary to know the meaning of the Prediction. The cards are placed from the Astral, Mathematical point of view; the help of the Holy Spirit is requested; Number is used, Mathematics. All the Laws are made by Number, Measure, and Weight.

Many persons use the Tarot in empirical form, for which reason they do it poorly. The last thing that is taught in the Kabbalistic Prediction; so that we may use the numbers wisely, one must study, comprehend the meaning of each card.

CONCLUSION

This student is an inhabitant of the Shadows of the Abyss…

Intellectuals are full of pride, arrogance, and sexual passion. The Intellect is based on Reason, and Reason is Luciferian and demoniacal; there are those who believe that by means of it one can know God. We say that only God knows himself.

It is better to practice Internal Meditation than to waste time reasoning; with Internal Meditation we can speak with God, the Innermost, the Being, the Most High; thus we can learn from the Inner Master, thus we can study Divine Wisdom at the feet of the Master.

The process of reasoning breaks the delicate membranes of the Mental Body. Thought must flow silent, serene, and integrally, without the battle of the antitheses, without the process of reasoning, which divides the mind among opposing concepts.

ONE MUST PUT AN END TO REASONINGS AND AWAKEN INTUITION; only thus can we learn the True Wisdom of God, only thus does the mind remain in the hands of the Innermost.

The true positive function of the Mind is Art, Beauty, Love, Music. The Mystical Art of loving Divine Architecture, Painting, Singing, Sculpture, of Technique put to the service of man, but without egoisms or maliciousness, without hatred, etc.

The Intellect is the negative function of the Mind; it is demoniacal. Everyone who enters into these studies, the first thing he wants to dominate is the Mind of others. That is pure and legitimate Black Magic. No one has any right to violate the free will of others.

No one must exercise coercion upon another’s Mind, because that is Black Magic. The guilty ones of this grave error are all those mistaken authors who go about. All those books of Hypnotism, Magnetism, and Suggestion are books of Black Magic.

HE WHO DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO RESPECT THE FREE WILL OF OTHERS IS A BLACK MAGICIAN. Those who do mental works to dominate violently the mind of another, transform themselves into perverse Demons. They separate themselves from the Innermost and fall into the Abyss.

We must liberate the Mind from every class of preconceptions, desires, fears, hates, schools, etc. All those Defects are obstacles that anchor the Mind to the external senses.

We must exchange the process of reasoning for the quality of Discernment. Discernment is Direct Perception of the Truth, without the process of reasoning.

Discernment is Comprehension without the need of reasoning. We must exchange the process of reasoning for the beauty of Comprehension.

The Mind must become completely infantile, must become transformed into a child full of beauty.

The symbols of Netzach are: THE LAMP, THE BELT, THE ROSE.

Hod

HOD IS THE ASTRAL WORLD, THE ASTRAL BODY.

The Astral is governed by the Moon; for this reason the Astral Goings-Forth are easier with the Waxing and a little more difficult with the Waning.

The Astral World is truly the World of Practical Magic. In some tribes, for example, of the deepest jungles in the Amazon, the Piaches or Sorcerer Priests give their people a special brew to enter the Astral World at will.

They mix ashes of the tree called Guarumo with well-ground Coca leaves; this they administer when the Moon is Waxing; then the Unfolding is produced; the Piaches know very well that Hod, the Astral, is governed by the Moon; but many Kabbalists suppose it is governed by Mercury and are mistaken.

The messages that descend from the World of the Pure Spirit become symbolic in the Astral World. Those symbols are interpreted based upon the Law of Philosophical Analogies, on the Law of ANALOGIES OF CONTRARIES, on the Law of Correspondences and Numerology. Study the Book of Daniel and the Biblical passages of the Patriarch Joseph son of Jacob, so that you may learn to interpret your Astral Experiences.

The legitimate and authentic Astral Body is the Solar Astral. They have called the Body of Desires, which is of Lunar nature, the Astral Body.

All the creatures of Nature are Lunar; they possess a Lunar Astral which is a cold, protoplasmic body, a beastly remnant of the past.

What we need is to manufacture the authentic Body of Hod, the legitimate Astral, a vehicle of solar nature. It must be manufactured in the Ninth Sphere, working in the Blazing Forge of Vulcan.

The Solar Astral Body is a body of flesh and bone that does not come from Adam. It is a body that eats, digests and assimilates.

There are various authors of pseudo-Esotericist and pseudo-occultist type who fall into the error of confusing the Ego with the Astral Body.

Modern metaphysical literature speaks much about projections of the Astral Body; however we must have the valor to recognize that the amateurs of Occultism are wont to unfold into the Ego to travel in the Sub-Lunar Regions of Nature through time and space.

With the Solar Astral we can travel through the Milky Way to the Central Sirius Sun. It is forbidden us to go beyond the Milky Way, because in the other Galaxies exist other types of Cosmic Laws unknown to the inhabitants of this Galaxy.

In Sirius there is a Great Temple where the Great Masters of this Galaxy receive an Initiation. The disciples of the Sirius God are Gnostic-Rosicrucians; the true Rosicrucian is in the Superior Worlds. Said disciples use upon their hoods the Holy Grail; they also celebrate the Drama of the Christ, because this is a Cosmic Drama.

Our disciples must acquire the power of Going Out in the Astral Body. That power is acquired by vocalizing daily for one hour the sacred Mantram “EGIPTO” (Egypt). The vowel “E” makes the Thyroid gland vibrate and confers upon man the power of Occult Hearing. The “G” awakens the Chakra of the Liver, and when this Chakra has reached its full development, then the man can enter and leave the Body whenever he wishes. The Vowel “I” combined with the letter “P” develops in man Clairvoyance and the power to go out in the Astral Body through the window of Brahma, which is the Pineal Gland. The letter “T” strikes upon the vowel “O,” intimately related with the Chakra of the Heart; and thus the man can acquire the power to detach himself from this plexus and Go Out in the Astral Body.

The correct pronunciation of the Mantram is thus:

EEEEEEEEEGGGGGGGGGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPTOOOOOOOOOOO.

Those who have not yet been able to Go Out in the Astral Body with our keys, it is because they do not have that power; and then they must first acquire it by vocalizing during one hour daily the Mantram “Egipto.” That Mantram totally develops the Chakras related with the Unfolding of the Astral Body, and thus the disciple acquires the power for the Astral Unfolding; the disciple will be able to enter and leave the Physical Body at will. The Egyptian Mantram used to Go Out in the Astral Body is the following: “FARAÓN” (Pharaoh); that Mantram is vocalized during those instants of transition between Wakefulness and Sleep, with the Mind set upon the pyramids of Egypt.

The correct pronunciation of that mantram is thus:

FAAAAAARRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNN.

This Mantram is to Go Out in the Astral Body, and as we have said, it is pronounced during the states of transition between Wakefulness and Sleep, concentrating the Mind on the pyramids of Egypt; but the disciples who do not have the power to Go Out in the Astral Body must first acquire it by vocalizing for one hour daily, as we have said, the Mantram “Egipto.”

Yesod

“No man whose testicles are crushed, or whose virile member is amputated, shall enter into the congregation of Jehovah.”

(DEUTERONOMY 23:1).

“And when a man lies with a woman and has an emission of semen, both shall wash themselves with water, and shall be unclean until the evening.”

(LEVITICUS 15:18).

“Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their impurities (fornication), in order that they may not die in their impurities (spilling the Semen) for having contaminated my Tabernacle (Sexual Organs) which is among them.”

(LEVITICUS 15:31).

YESOD IS THE VITAL OR ETHERIC BODY. Yesod is the Foundation of the Third Logos, the center where the Sexual Force of the Third Logos gravitates. The Sexual Forces — the living foundation within our physiology — gravitate in Yesod; there is the Holy Spirit.

It is worth clarifying that if we consider Yesod as the Foundation, it is clear that it is found in the Sexual Organs. The Vital Body — that is, the seat of biological, physical, chemical activities — is something else, which in some form is influenced by Yesod; but in any case Yesod is the Sexual Organs.

PERFUMES AND SANDALS ARE THE SYMBOL OF YESOD.

The Secret of all Secrets is in the Mysterious Stone Shema Hamphorash of the Hebrews. That is the Philosophical Stone of the Alchemists. That is Sex. That is Sexual Magic, Love. Blessed be Love! The Bible tells us that when Jacob awoke from his sleep, he consecrated the “Stone,” anointed it with oil and blessed it. Truly from that moment Jacob began to practice Sexual Magic; later he incarnated his Inner Master, his Real being; Jacob is the Angel Israel.

The Ancient Sages adored the Sun under the symbolic form of a Black Stone. That is the “Heliogabala Stone.” The Philosophical Stone is the foundation of Science, of Philosophy, and of Religion.

The Philosophical Stone is square like the Celestial Jerusalem of Saint John. Upon one of its faces is the name of Adam, upon the other that of Eve, and then those of Azoth and Inri upon the other two sides.

The Philosophical Stone is very Sacred. The Masters are Children of the Stones.

The Mysteries of Sex enclose the key of every power. Everything that comes to life is the child of Sex. Jesus says to Peter: “You are Peter, you are stone, and upon this stone I will build my Church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.” (MATTHEW 16:18).

No one can incarnate the Inner Christ without having built the Temple upon the Living Stone (Sex).

We must raise the 7 Columns of the Temple of Wisdom. On each of the 7 Columns of the Temple is written in characters of Fire the word INRI (Ignis Natura Renovatur Integra).

“And Jesus sent Peter (whose Gospel is Sex) and John (whose Gospel is the Verb), saying: Go, prepare us the Passover that we may eat it.” (LUKE 22:7).

The secret name of Peter is PATAR, with its three consonants which in High Esotericism are radicals: P. T. R.

The “P” reminds us of the Father who is in secret, the Ancient of Days of Hebrew Kabbalah, the Fathers of the Gods, our Fathers or Phitaras.

The “T” or TAU is the famous Letter-Cross in Sex-Yoga; it is the Divine Hermaphrodite, the Man and the Woman united sexually during the act.

The “R” is the vital letter in INRI; it is the Sacred and terribly Divine Fire, the Egyptian RA.

Peter the disciple of Jesus the Christ is the Aladdin, the Marvelous Interpreter, authorized to lift the Stone that closes the Sanctuary of the Great Mysteries.

It is impossible to roll the Stone, to lift it, if we have not first given it “Cubic” form by means of “chisel and hammer.”

Peter, PATAR, the Illuminator, is the Master of Sexual Magic, the gentle Master who always awaits us at the entrance of the terrible Path.

Peter dies crucified on an inverted cross, with the head downward and the feet upward, as if inviting us to descend to the 9th Sphere to work with the Water and the Fire, origin of Worlds, Beasts, Men, and Gods; every authentic White Initiation begins there.

The Doctrine of Peter is the Doctrine of Sex, the Science of Maithuna among the Orientals, Sexual Magic, the Living Stone, the Rock — the Stone is Sex, upon which we must raise the Interior Temple for the Intimate Christ, Our Lord.

Peter said: “Behold, I lay in Zion the chief Stone of the corner, chosen, precious. And he who believes in it shall not be ashamed.”

“To you therefore, those who believe, he is precious; for those who do not believe, the Stone which the builders rejected, has become the head of the corner; a Stone of stumbling and a rock of scandal.” (1 PETER 2:6-8).

Jesus the Christ said: “Everyone who hears me and does what I say, I will liken him to a prudent man who built his house upon the Rock” (Sex). “And rain fell, and floods and winds came, and the house did not give way, because it was founded upon Stone” (Sex).

“And he who hears me and does not do what I say, I will liken him to a foolish man who built his house upon the sand” (theories of every type, practices of every species, with total exclusion of the Maithuna or Sexual Magic).

“And rains and winds came, and floods, and the house gave way, with great ruin” (falling into the Abyss). (MATTHEW 7:24-27).

In the world, millions of people build upon sand and hate Sexual Magic; they do not want to build upon the Rock, upon the Stone; they build upon the sand of their theories, schools, etc., and believe that they go very well; those poor people are sincere mistaken ones and of very good intentions, but they shall fall into the Abyss.

Without the Doctrine of Peter the Second Birth is impossible. We Gnostics study the Doctrine of Peter.

THE INFRA-SEXUALS AND THE DEGENERATES MORTALLY HATE THE DOCTRINE OF PETER.

Many are the sincere mistaken ones who believe they can Self-realize, excluding Sex.

Many are those who speak against sex, who insult Sex, who spit their slanderous saliva upon the Sacred Sanctuary of the Third Logos.

Those who hate Sex, those who say that Sex is gross, filthy, animal, beastly, are the insulters, those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit.

“Flee from Fornication (Spilling the Semen). Whatever other sin Man commits is outside of the body; but he who fornicates sins against his own body.” (1 CORINTHIANS 6:18).

“All sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men; but the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven them…, neither in this world nor in the world to come.” (MATTHEW 12:31-32; MARK 3:28-29).

“For if we sin willfully after having received the Truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins.” (HEBREWS 10:26-31).

Whoever pronounces himself against Sexual Magic, whoever spits his infamy upon the Sanctuary of the Third Logos, can never reach the Second Birth.

In the Western World there exist many people who mortally hate Sexual Magic; those persons justify their absurd hatred with many pretexts. They say “that the Maithuna ‘supposedly’ is only for the Orientals and that we Westerners are not prepared.”

Such people affirm that with this teaching of Sex Yoga, the only thing that can result is a harvest of Black Magicians.

The interesting thing of all this is that such persons of a reactionary, conservative, regressive and retarding type, do not say a single word against Fornication, against Adultery, against Prostitution, against Homosexualism, Masturbation, etc., etc. All this seems to them most normal, and they have no objection at all to miserably wasting the Sexual Energy.

Sex in itself ought to be the most elevated Creative Function; unfortunately ignorance reigns sovereign, and Humanity is far from comprehending the Great Mysteries of Sex.

If we study the Book of the Heavens, the Marvelous Zodiac, we can comprehend that the New Aquarian Era is governed by the Zodiacal Sign of Aquarius, the Water-bearer.

The symbol of Aquarius is a woman with two pitchers full of water, trying to mix intelligently the Waters of the two pitchers. (See Arcanum 14).

This symbol reminds us of Sexual Alchemy. If in Pisces man was only a slave of the Sexual Instinct symbolized by the two fishes within the Waters of Life, in Aquarius, man must learn to Transmute Sexual Forces.

Aquarius is governed by Uranus (UR = Fire; ANAS = Water), the planet that governs the Sexual Functions. It is incongruous and absurd that some isolated individuals and certain pseudo-esoteric type schools reject the Maithuna, and yet have the pretension of supposedly initiating the New Era.

URANUS is one hundred percent Sexual, and in the New Era, governed by this planet, the human being must know thoroughly the Mysteries of Sex.

There exist multitudes of Schools of Black Magic, many of them with very venerable traditions, that teach “Sexual Magic with the spilling of the Semen.” They have most beautiful theories that attract and captivate; and if the student falls into that seductive and delicious trap, he becomes a Black Magician. Those Black Schools affirm to the four winds that they are “White,” and for this reason the naive fall. Furthermore those Schools speak beautifully of Love, Charity, Wisdom, etc., etc. Naturally in such circumstances the naive disciple comes to believe firmly that said institutions have nothing evil or perverse about them. Remember, good disciple, that the Abyss is full of sincere mistaken ones and of people of very good intentions.

TO REJECT THE MAITHUNA signifies in fact pronouncing oneself against the Sign of Aquarius, governed by Uranus, King of Sex.

The ignorant fornicators of Reactionary Pseudo-Occultism are totally unaware of the Secret Doctrine of the Savior of the World, the Christian Esotericism.

The pseudo-esoteric and pseudo-occultist reaction is unaware that the primitive Christian Gnostic Groups practiced the Maithuna. Sexual Magic was always taught in all the Ancient Schools of Western Mysteries; the Maithuna was known among the Mysteries of the Templars, among the Mysteries of the Aztecs, Mayas, Incas, Chibchas, Zapotecs, Araucanians, Toltecs, Mysteries of Eleusis, Mysteries of Rome, Mithras, Carthage, Tyre, Celtic, Phoenician, Egyptian, Druidic Mysteries, and in all the Primitive Christian Groups such as the Group of the Essenes, who had their convent on the shores of the Dead Sea, and one of whose most exalted members was JESUS, THE DIVINE RABBI OF GALILEE.

The Maithuna, Sexual Magic, is Universal; it is known in the Mysteries of the North and South, East and West of the world, but is violently rejected by the reactionary, fornicating and regressive pseudo-occultists.

The Foundation Stone of the authentic and legitimate Schools of Mystery is the Maithuna, the Arcanum A.Z.F., or Sexual Magic.

Malkuth

MALKUTH IS THE PHYSICAL BODY, the Physical World. It is very important to remember that the Vital Body is no more than the superior section of the Physical Body. Those who do not accept this concept think that the Physical is a separate body and the Vital a very distinct one, and traces an order that is somewhat mistaken.

MALKUTH is the kingdom; the Regent is CHAM-GAM, the Genie of the Earth.

Every planet gives 7 Races; our Earth has already given 5; 2 remain. After the 7 Races, our Earth, transformed by great cataclysms, will be transformed through millions of years into a new Moon. All the involuting and evolving life of the Earth came from the Moon. When the Great Life abandoned the Moon, it died, was transformed into a desert.

On the Moon there existed 7 Great Races. The Lunar Soul, the Lunar Life, is now involuting and evolving on our present Earth. THUS IS HOW THE WORLDS REINCARNATE.

The Gods of Nature have worked greatly to create self-conscious beings. The Gods have had to perform difficult experiments in the laboratory of Nature. From those test tubes of the Great Laboratory came forth diverse forms of animals — some with the purpose of elaborating material for the creation of Man, others as discards of semi-human beings, and others as true human failures.

Truly all the living species with the exception of a few are living discards of the Human Kingdom. All the Animals of this Kingdom of MALKUTH characterize some aspect of Man. All the animals are true caricatures of the human being.

However, it is good to know that the struggle of the Gods to create man has not ended. The human being, or so-called human being, still has much to discard that will be in the zoological gardens of the future.

We must know that the Real is the Being, the Innermost, the Spirit. However, there exists in us, besides, a factor of discord; this is the I, the Ego, the Myself.

It is interesting to comprehend that the I is Pluralized. The I is constituted by many I’s that quarrel among themselves, and that fight for the control of the Human Personality. These I’s are “3,” are “7,” and “Legion.”

The “3” basic are: the Demon of Desire, the Demon of the Mind, and the Demon of Ill Will.

The “7” are the 7 Capital Sins: Anger, Greed, Lust, Gluttony, Envy, Pride, and Sloth.

The “Legion” is constituted by all the thousands of: Secondary Sins.

The “3” and the “7” and the “Legion” are little I’s, Animal Elementaries created by the Mind. These Animal Elementaries are the enemies that live within our own house. These Animal Elementaries live within the kingdom of our Soul; they nourish themselves with the inferior substances of our Lower Animal Depths.

The most serious thing is that these Animal Elementaries have stolen part of our Consciousness; this is demonstrated by the following affirmations: I have Anger, I Covet, I Desire, I feel Envy, etc.

THE TRUE BEING IS THE SPIRIT, and he has not yet entered into man because the I has invaded the Kingdom of the Soul. Truly neither the Soul nor the Spirit have been incarnated in man. Man, the so-called “Man,” is still a possibility.

The True Man is still in the process of creation. Many specimens of the current human races will be in the zoological gardens of the future. Much that we have of animal within us must be discarded in order to properly reach the Human State.

When we put an end to all our sins, the I is dissolved. When the I is dissolved, the Soul and the Spirit incarnate in man, then we truly are Men in the most complete sense of the word.

When death arrives, the only thing that continues is the I, the Legion of the I. The Ego or I returns to satisfy desires. Death is the return to conception; this is the Wheel of Arcanum 10.

The True Man, the one who has his Soul and his Spirit incarnated, after Death, in his Astral Body lives completely awake; he enjoys in the Internal Worlds Consciousness and Objective Perception.

The Ghost of those who have not yet dissolved the I, nor incarnated the Soul and the Spirit, lives in the Internal Worlds with the Consciousness Asleep; he has only Subjective Consciousness and Perception.

The Physical World is the Valley of Bitterness, the kingdom of MALKUTH, the kingdom of Samsara. The Wheel of Samsara turns incessantly, and the Ego comes and goes, disincarnates and returns, always suffering, always searching without finding. Arcanum 10, the Wheel of Retribution, is terrible, and everyone is a slave of this Fatal Wheel of the Centuries.

He who wishes to liberate himself from the FATAL WHEEL OF SAMSARA must dissolve the I and incarnate his Soul.

This labor is most difficult, and very rare are those who attain it. Truly the Kingdom of MALKUTH is a terrible filter. The waste of the filter is the common and ordinary, and this is swallowed by the Abyss. The Gold, the select, the True Man, the Angel is the conception, and the struggle is truly terrible.

Nature is implacable, and the birth of an Angel-Man costs thousands or — better said — millions of victims: “Many are the called and few the chosen.”

CHRIST said: “Of a thousand who seek me, one finds me; of a thousand who find me, one follows me; of a thousand who follow me, one is mine.”

KRISHNA said: “Among thousands of men, perhaps one strives to attain Perfection; and among thousands who strive, perhaps one knows me in truth.”

This is the tragedy of Arcanum 10 of Kabbalah.

Symbols of the Sephirah MALKUTH are: The Two Altars, the Cross of equal arms, the Magic Circle, the Triangle of the Magic Art. MALKUTH is related with the feet and the anus.

The Kliphoth

“Hell is the matrix of Heaven. From rot is born the beautiful. Lucifer gives us light when we overcome him.”

— GARGHA KUICHINES

We had already said that the Sephiroth really are 12: the Ain Soph Aur is the 11th, the Ain Soph is the 12th, and its antithesis, its fatal shadow, is the Abyss, the Kliphoth of Kabbalah. The Ain Soph is the 12th Sephirah. Below Malkuth, the Physical World, are the Kliphoth, which are the Inferior Worlds.

The word “Hell” derives from the Latin “Infernus,” which signifies Inferior Region. Within every planet exists the Submerged Mineral Kingdom with its own Atomic Hells. The latter are always located within the interior of any planetary mass, and in the Infra-dimensions of Nature, beneath the Tridimensional Zone of Euclid.

Truly the Abyss is the Avitchi of the Hindustanis, the Hell of ice of the Nordics, the Chinese Hell with all its yellow tortures, the Buddhist Hell, the Muhammadan Hell, the Egyptian Amenti, the tenebrous Tartarus, the Avernus, etc. These varied traditional hells emphatically allegorize the Submerged Mineral Kingdom.

We have all heard tell of Spiritism, of the witches’ sabbats and the witches. Some look at that as something strange, others as stories somewhat to laugh at; but the crude reality is that the medieval sabbats and the famous midnight witches have more realism than we think. Obviously those “calchonas” — as they are called in rigorously academic and Hispanic language — pertain to the World of the Kliphoth.

Maria of the Antilles, so often named in ancient medieval convents, was exactly their governess; such sorcerers of ancient sabbats called her “Holy Mary.” When I investigated in the World of the Kliphoth concerning that strange creature, how she shared her life with so many Black Magicians, how she could be among so many sabbats — nevertheless, I never saw in her that which we might call perversity.

The Tenebrous Ones of the Left Hand, the Sub-Lunar Creatures, rendered cult to her and considered that Magician not as something tenebrous, but as a Saint. I wished to know what truth there was in this — the presumed sanctity of a creature who mingled with the Darkness, who figured in so many sabbats and monasteries of the Middle Ages. Who among those who have taken to study the old events of High and Low Magic of the Middle Ages has not once heard of Maria of the Antilles?… There are so many secrets hidden among the dust of many libraries!…

I had to clarify; of course I learned! And I clarified when precisely in the World of Tiphereth, I invoked, therefore, that entity. I was heard, and to my astonishment I encountered a Self-realized Master. Then I understood that he had emanated from himself his Bodhisattva, and the latter was being educated in the exercise of Magic, in the MAGICAL TRIANGLE or THIRD TRIANGLE. Passing through rigorous training, beginning with the Kliphoth, but without doing harm to anyone.

After that I came into contact with his Bodhisattva, with Maria of the Antilles, and when I invited her to visit the World of Nirvana, she gladly accepted my invitation.

Upon fusing with her Real Being, the Secret Master, I then saw that it was a creature who has attained Perfection in High Magic, and that although she lived in the World of the Kliphoth it was to educate or train herself psychologically, exercising tremendous powers without doing harm.

When one observes that creature, her Real Being is pleasing; one realizes that he is an extraordinary White Magician because he knows thoroughly the Kingdoms of the Light, the World of Malkuth, and the World of the Kliphoth.

The Third Triangle is that of Practical Magic, and this is a work that must be understood, because one must leave aside prejudices to be able to work in the World of the Kliphoth.

The adverse Sephiroth are the Kliphoth; there are the Demons, the Souls in pain, those who suffer, those who have already exhausted their cycle of existences and who involve in time, the Fallen Angels, the Tenebrous Ones of the Lunar Path, the Black Lodge and all the Adepts of the Left Hand, the followers of Lucifer and Ahriman, the followers of the Dugpas, the enemies of the Fourth Path, the Nicolaitans and the Tantric Anagarikas.

In the Kingdom of the Kliphoth dwell undoubtedly also those who develop themselves in High Magic. The Kliphoth are the Sephiroth in reverse, the Sephiroth in their negative aspect, the Virtues in reverse. For example, the qualities of Geburah are Rigor, the Law; in reverse it is tyranny, dictatorship.

A prostitute many times gives herself to the males out of charity; therein is the Principle of the Sephirah in reverse. The Charity of a Chesed, in reverse, can be complacency with crime.

In the KUNDARTIGUATOR ORGAN are the Kliphoth of Kabbalah, within Malkuth the Physical World, within the interior of the Earth.

Daath, Tantric Knowledge

Some kabbalists emphasize the idea that BINAH, THE HOLY SPIRIT, is feminine; such an affirmation is mistaken. With complete clarity it is said in the Divine Comedy that the Holy Spirit is the spouse of the Divine Mother. So the Holy Spirit unfolds in turn into his wife, into the Shakti of the Hindustanis.

This must be properly understood. Many on seeing that the Third Logos unfolds into the Divine Mother Kundalini or Shakti, who has many names, have believed that the Holy Spirit is feminine, and have erred. He is masculine; but on unfolding into Her, the First Divinal Pair is formed, ineffable, the Elohim Creator, the Kabir or Great Priest, the Ruach Elohim who, according to Moses, washed the Waters in the Beginning of the World.

The Hebrew Kabbalists speak to us of the Mysterious Daath that appears in the Tree of Life, to which is never assigned either a Divine name nor any Angelic Host of any species, and which also has no mundane sign, planet, or element.

DAATH, the Sephirah of the Hebrew Mystery, is produced by the esoteric conjunction of SHIVA-SHAKTI, OSIRIS-ISIS, who are perpetually united in Yesod, the Foundation (the Ninth Sephirah, the Ninth Sphere, Sex), but hidden by the Mystery of Daath, which has the Tantric Knowledge, which is processed with the Sahaja Maithuna or Sexual Magic, which when duly used permits the INTIMATE SELF-REALIZATION OF THE BEING.

It is necessary that we all reflect profoundly, that we comprehend all this in depth. He and She are united in the Cubic Stone of Yesod, which is Sex. From the union of Him and Her results the Perfect Tantric Knowledge, with which we can Self-realize internally at all the Levels of the Being.

Some kabbalist authors suppose that Daath, the Sephirah which gives Knowledge or Sapience, results from the fusion of Chokmah, the Cosmic Christ (masculine), with Binah, supposing the latter to be exclusively feminine. Such an assertion is absolutely false, because truly the Holy Spirit is masculine; only that upon unfolding into the Divine Mother the Perfect Pair is formed.

In the Cubic Stone of Yesod, in the Ninth Sphere, comes the Tantric Knowledge, the Tantric Initiation. By means of the Tantras the development of the Serpent along the Spinal Column is possible.

In these studies of Kabbalah we need to be practical; there are authors who write marvels, but when one sees them, one realizes that they have not lived what they write; they have not experienced it in themselves, and for this reason they err. I consider that one must write what one has directly experienced for oneself; thus I have proceeded on my part.

The Cubic Stone of Yesod situated in the Creative Organs is certainly that Metallic Soul that results from the sexual transmutations; we could denominate it the Mercury of Secret Philosophy or, speaking in simpler language, Creative Energy. It in itself is allegorized or symbolized in the Devil; when we say that one must work with the Devil it is to transform him into Lucifer, the MAKER OF LIGHT.

We are clearly referring to the work in the Great Work; it is interesting that it is there, precisely in the Cubic Stone of Yesod where Shiva-Shakti, Osiris and Isis unite sexually, and it is precisely there that the Tantric Knowledge is — without which it is impossible to reach the Intimate Self-realization of the Being.

In Eastern Tibet the monks are radical, for which motive H.P. Blavatsky thought they were Black Magicians. All of us have repeated that mistake and we see ourselves in the need to rectify.

I do not say that the Dugpas are saints, gentle sheep; they are Black Magicians because they teach Black Tantrism; but the Bons, although they use a red cap, are not Black, as Blavatsky mistakenly supposed. It is clear that if someone among the Bons does not want Self-realization but to liberate himself for a time in order to return, for example, in the Sixth Root Race, or else does not desire ever to Self-realize, but to emancipate himself without Self-realization — he attains it.

First of all the Neophyte is taken to a remote place, and all those Inhuman Elements that he possesses are invoked. This is done by procedures of High Magic, and in the seclusion of the mountain, those become visible and tangible; they try to devour the Neophyte; but if he remains serene, there is no more to do, he has emerged triumphant. Then he must eliminate the Ego, reduce it to ashes and work for himself.

The test and maximum of all his efforts in the Physical World consists of some mantrams of disincarnation, which are two words. It is hair-raising to see the Bon Priest dressed in his white apron full of skulls, of bones of the dead, and on the head the red turban, carrying in his right hand a dagger.

At the moment in which the Neophyte pronounces his two mantrams of fatality, his body falls dead instantaneously, and is submitted to great Ordeals in the Internal Worlds. He must confront the fears of Death; he must endure the Hurricane of Karma; he must emerge victorious in what the Father-Mother places upon him. The end is to be able to enter, or better said, to be reborn in superhuman form in any of the Kingdoms of the Devas — whether of Great Concentration or of the Long Hairs, in that of Maitreya or in that of Supreme Happiness, etc. And it is in that region where he will complete his preparation for Liberation.

The Divine Mother assists him, eliminating his Inhuman Elements, and at last he succeeds in submerging into the bosom of the Great Reality, not as a Self-realized Master, but as an Elemental Buddha. He submerges into that state until the Sixth Root Race with the purpose of there Self-realizing; or he can remain forever transformed into a Buddhic Elemental and nothing more, but happy.

Those who attempt to liberate themselves, those who really want to Self-realize, those who truly wish to become Mahatmas or Hierophants, must submit themselves to Tantric Discipline and work in the Ninth Sphere. They will be taught all of Tantrism, how to awaken the Serpent and how to raise her along the Spinal Column, how to open the Chakras, etc.

Thus, what happens is that the Bons are radical, either they go for the Being, or they do not go for the Being. They go for the sake of Self-realization, or they pretend to remain without Self-realization; they have to define themselves, or not. There everything is violent, for which motive H.P. Blavatsky judged them, considering them Black Magicians. But when one studies the Tantrism of the Bons, one realizes it is White, not Black but White. They transmute the Sperma into Energy to attain thorough Self-realization.

YESOD IS LUNAR, and this we cannot deny. In Gnostic Esotericism a woman appears, an Ineffable, Divine Virgin, dressed in a blue tunic and standing upon a moon. This must be properly understood; that Moon represents the Sephirah Yesod; this signifies the Sexual Force, and as for the tunic of blue color, it represents the Night, in which the great Mysteries of Life and Death develop. Only at night does one WORK WITH THE CREATIVE ENERGY OF THE THIRD LOGOS. THE WORK IN THE LABORATORIUM of the Holy Spirit must be done in nocturnal hours.

THE SAHAJA MAITHUNA must only be practiced in the darkness of the night, because the day, the Sun, is opposite to generation.

If one places a hen with her eggs in the light of the Sun for her to hatch them, they will not succeed in being hatched; and if a chick does come out, it will die, because the Sun is the enemy of generation.

He who seeks Light must request it of the Logos who is behind the Sun that illuminates us, in the Deep Night.

The crude reality is that by disposition of the Sexual Organs, procreation is verified in darkness. Because when the sperm emerges from the Sexual Glands it does not emerge illuminated by the light of the Sun, but in darkness; and in darkness it makes its way through the Fallopian tube to meet with the ovum which descends from the ovaries, and within the darkness of the womb is the gestation.

But if that sperm, instead of emerging protected from the Sexual Glands by the darkness, were to come into the light of the Sun, and the fetus were not in darkness and found itself uncovered in the woman’s womb so that the Sun shone directly upon it, it is obvious that failure would be a fact.

So, by disposition of the very organs of our nature, fertilization is always realized in darkness. Thus, too, ONE MUST WORK AMID THE OBSCURITY OF SILENCE AND THE AUGUST SECRET OF THE SAGES, to be able someday to attain the Intimate Self-realization of the Being. That is what that Virgin of the Immaculate Conception, standing upon the Moon and dressed in blue tunic, indicates to us: the work of the Maithuna in the darkness of the night.

We must warn that one must never practice twice in succession in one same night. Only once daily is permitted. There exists “violence against nature” when Sexual Magic is practiced twice in succession, violating the laws of the Creative Magnetic Pause.

It is also urgent to know that one must never oblige the spouse to practice the Maithuna when she is ill, or when she has the menstruation, or in a state of pregnancy, because it is a crime of violence against nature.

The woman who has given birth to a child can only practice the Maithuna 40 days after the birth.

There is also the crime of violence against nature when the man or the woman compels his or her partner to perform the copulation when the organism of the spouse is not in apt conditions for it.

Such a crime exists when, under the pretext of practicing Sexual Magic, or even with the best intentions of Self-realization, the man or the woman auto-obliges themselves to perform the copulation, the Creative Organs not finding themselves in the precise amorous moment and in favorable harmonious conditions, indispensable for the copulation.

The Initiation of Tiphereth

“For as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish three days and three nights, so shall the Son of Man be in the Heart of the Earth three days and three nights.”

(MATTHEW 12:40).

With TIPHERETH extraordinary events take place. Any Initiate can receive the Initiation of Malkuth, that of Yesod, of Hod, of Netzach, and lastly the fifth to become a Master, which is that of Tiphereth. But someone may receive the Fifth Initiation of the Human Soul and become for that reason a Master, and yet not attain the Initiation of Tiphereth.

The Initiation of Tiphereth comes properly after the Fifth Initiation of Fire. Not always does he who receives the Fifth Initiation have the joy of attaining the Initiation of Tiphereth — that is a very secret Initiation. It is received by him who takes the Direct Path.

In the Second Triangle of the Tree of Life, the Cosmic Christ has as its center of gravity Tiphereth; there it comes to manifest itself.

There are things which deserve to be reflected upon, analyzed, comprehended. So that the Second Logos, Vishnu or Cosmic Christ may save a man, he must become the PARTICULAR INTIMATE JESUS-CHRIST.

The Christ in himself is a Cosmic Force; only when in some form that Force becomes humanized can it save a man.

THE LAW OF THE SOLAR LOGOS, THE COSMIC CHRIST, IS SACRIFICE FOR HUMANITY. He sacrifices himself from the dawn of life, crucifying himself in all the worlds, in every new planet that comes to existence, so that all beings may have life and have it in abundance.

Only after having passed through the Five Initiations of Greater Mysteries and as a very special grace, prior Sacrifice for Humanity, can the Christ reincarnate in us. To comprehend how that Cosmic Force humanizes itself in us, one must learn to handle the Trimurtis.

There are brothers who find it very difficult to understand this of the Trimurtis; they are accustomed to think, for example, of the First Logos, Second Logos, and Third Logos — that is, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. But then comes a Second Trimurti where we speak of Osiris, Isis, and Horus; then they become confused. This is because really the conversion of one Trimurti into another cannot be done based on pure rationalism; there is a factor in this conversion of Trimurtis which is completely Spiritual, because only intuitively can it be apprehended, captured, grasped.

Kether-Father, Chokmah-Son, and Binah-Holy Spirit are three distinct persons and one sole true God; so Theology teaches. Those Three Persons, although triune, in the depths are only One Individual, who is the Father.

Within the Father is the Son and is the Holy Spirit. Just as within the True Man is the Body, is the Soul, and is the Holy Spirit, so within the Old One of the Centuries is also the Son and the Holy Spirit who form one Integral, Unitotal. In Ancient Egypt that Unique, Unitotal was called Osiris. (See Chapter 7).

Osiris can unfold himself and he unfolds himself into Isis. Eve always emerges from Adam’s rib, both below and above; there is nothing strange then that from Osiris the Solar-Adam emerges the Solar-Eve, the Urania-Venus, His Spouse. From the One always emerges the Two; thus the Father who is in Secret has His spouse who is the Divine Mother Kundalini. Osiris always has Isis as his spouse.

From the perfect union of the two of them (Osiris and Isis) is born the child Horus (Aurus). She and He love each other and as a result of their love she conceives by the work and grace of the Holy Spirit — that is, by the work and grace of her spouse, the Third Logos, the Christ or Second Logos descends to her virginal and immaculate womb.

But bear in mind that although she is the spouse of the Third Logos, within the Third Logos is the Second Logos and is the First Logos also, because at the end of all the Logos is Triune and Indivisible, Unitotal, and Integral; much subtlety is needed to understand this, much refinement, much synthesism and Intuition.

The conversion of one Trimurti into another is something that gives the students much trouble; but if you sharpen your Intuition a little, you can understand. From the Holy, Divinal Copulation, Isis is conceived by the Sacred Conception; she is Virgin before the birth, in the birth, and after the birth. ISIS IS OUR PARTICULAR DIVINE MOTHER KUNDALINI, RAM-IO.

Thus is how the Child arrives, who in Egypt is called Horus, and in Hebrew times was called Jeshua, our adorable Savior. The Jesus of the Gospels is profoundly significant, because Jesus comes from the word Jeshua which in Hebrew signifies Savior.

JESUS, JESHUA, AND HORUS are the same; he is the Child who is always in the arms of his Mother Isis or Mary. He is the same Christ who has descended from the Second Logos, the Cosmic Christ already humanized, transformed into Son of a Divine Man and a Divine Woman. He has become a King-Child-Savior, but he is a Particular King-Child, since he is one’s own Being. He is the Child of Gold of Alchemy who is crowned.

He is Jesus Christ because Christ is the Second Logos, and Jesus because he has become Savior. To become Savior, he has had to descend from his very Sphere, penetrate into a most pure virginal womb, be born by the work and grace of the Holy Spirit, has been made Son of the Divine Mother, Son in fact of his Parents.

Undoubtedly, we must distinguish between what is the Jesus Christ as Great Kabir (the man who preached the Doctrine of the Intimate Christ of each one of us), and what is the Particular Intimate Jesus Christ of each one.

THE COSMIC CHRIST is Impersonal, Universal, and is beyond Individuality, Personality, and the I; he is a Cosmic Force that expresses itself through any man who is duly prepared. One day he expressed himself through a Jesus of Nazareth, a Hermes Trismegistus, the Buddha Gautama Shakyamuni, a Quetzalcoatl, etc., and may express himself through any Avatar.

To express himself, he must descend from Superior Spheres and penetrate into the Womb of a Virgin called Isis, Mary, Tonantzin, Insoberta, Maya, Cybele, etc., who is the same Particular Cosmic Mother, since each one has his own.

When one reads the Epistles of Paul the Apostle, one can verify with surprise for oneself that he rarely mentions Jesus the Great Kabir or the Historical Christ. He always alludes to an Intimate Christ.

But for the INTIMATE CHRIST TO BE BORN IN US, the Humanized Jeshua, one must have worked in the FORGE OF THE CYCLOPS; the Existential Bodies of the Being must have been formed.

For the Savior to be born, the event of Bethlehem must be repeated; said event is at once profound and symbolic. That village of Bethlehem of which the Gospels speak to us is very allegorical; it is said that that small village did not exist in that epoch of Jesus of Nazareth. If we analyze the word Bethlehem we have Bel-Em, and we see that Bel in the Chaldean terminology signifies Tower of Fire. When does one arrive at the Tower of Fire? When the Superior Existential Bodies of the Being have been created, when the Sacred Fire has reached the superior part of the brain — there is when the event of Bethlehem comes.

Nevertheless, despite having the Solar Bodies, it may happen that the Initiate does not incarnate the Child. I mean by this something very subtle that goes unperceived by any Kabbalist, for we have Tiphereth united with the Causal Body.

Analyzing Paul’s Epistle to the Corinthians (1 CORINTHIANS 15:47-49), we could clarify this matter. Paul says there exists the Earthly Man and the Celestial Man; unquestionably, the Earthly is constituted by the Physical Body, the Etheric, the Astral, the Mental, and that of the Conscious Will.

For the Son of Man to come, the Earthly Man must be formed, because the common and ordinary man is not yet Man. One is Man when one has given oneself the luxury of creating the Existential Bodies of the Being; there one can be called Man, even though Earthly. The Second Man of whom Paul speaks is the Celestial Man, and he says: “As we have attracted the image of the Earthly, so we must attract to us the image of the Celestial Man.”

The Son of Man comes when he must fulfill some specific mission upon the Earth, when the Initiate has taken the Direct Path for the Final Liberation.

After the FIFTH INITIATION OF FIRE, I had to be called by my Divine Mother Kundalini; she had the Child in her arms; I made a certain petition of an esoteric type; she answered me: “Ask the Child”; and I asked the Child for what I had to ask.

Subsequently, I was able to receive the Initiation of Tiphereth — that is, of the Fifth Initiation of Fire; then that Child whom I had seen in the arms of his Mother, my Divine Mother, since each one has his own, penetrated within my organism through the marvelous gate of the Pineal Gland, of which Descartes said it is the seat of the Soul. My body, in this case, came to be the “stable” where the Child is born, where he comes into the world.

At first I can tell you that the presence of the Child within oneself is not much noticed; he is born among the animals of the stable, and they are none other than the Animals of Desire, the Passions, the Vices and Defects that keep the Consciousness bottled up — that is, the elements that compose the Pluralized I. The I is constituted by Animal Elementaries; these nourish themselves with the inferior substances of the lower animal depths of man; there they live and multiply. Each Animal Elementary represents a determined defect; these constitute that which is called Ego, the animals of the stable where the Child God is born to save Man.

That Child has to suffer much; he is not born in a great palace, he is born in a stable, he is born completely weak, very small, among giant seas of those I’s that surround the stable.

The Child God grows little by little; through time he develops himself. How does he grow, in what way? By eliminating the I’s, disintegrating them, reducing them to ashes, to cosmic dust; thus grows our PARTICULAR INTIMATE JESHUA. The work that Child must do is very hard; he is the Christ and is born in the stable to save us, so that all those animals of the stable HE MUST KILL WITHIN HIMSELF; he must combat the Princes of Evil within himself, the Sons of Infidelity within himself, and the temptations through which one passes as a human being, as a person of flesh and bone, are the temptations through which He must pass — they are his temptations, and the very body of flesh and bone of oneself comes to be his body of flesh and bone. Therein lies the merit of his sacrifices, of his efforts.

Thus is how the Son of Man comes into the world and becomes a man of flesh and bone, becomes Man among men, and is exposed to the sufferings of men; he must pass through the same tortures as any man. Our Psychological process becomes a process which he must order and transform; our preoccupations are his preoccupations. For some reason he has been called the Holy Firm, because he cannot be conquered, and at last triumphs; then he is covered with glory; he is worthy of all praise, lordship, and majesty.

The Kings of Intelligence, the Three Magi, the True geniuses will always recognize the Lord and will venerate him and come to adore him.

As the sufferings grow, they become for him greater and greater. Being so perfect, he must conquer the Powers of Darkness within himself; being so pure he must conquer impurity within himself; having passed beyond every possibility of temptation, he must conquer temptations within himself.

The Child will always be in great dangers: Herod, the World, the Tenebrous Ones, will always wish to behead him.

The Baptism in the Jordan of Existence will always be indispensable; the Waters of Life cleanse, transform, and baptize. The Transfiguration interprets with utmost intelligence the Law of Moses, teaching the people and displaying in his work all the marvelous zeal of an Elijah.

The Intimate Christ will always come to us walking upon the raging waves of the Sea of Life. The Intimate Christ will always establish order in our Mind and return to our eyes the lost Light; he will always multiply the Bread of the Eucharist for the nourishment and strengthening of our Souls.

The Intimate Christ incarnated in the Initiate will preach in the streets of this great Jerusalem of the world, delivering to humanity the Message of the New Era.

But the Scribes, who are the intellectual men of the epoch, those who are part of the culture, will say: “That man is mad.” It happens that the intellectuals want to settle everything based on reasoning, for any human can elaborate within his cerebral encephalon, through the most severe logical processes, a Materialist theory, as a Spiritualist theory; and both — both in the thesis and in the antithesis — the underlying logic is truly admirable.

His teachings are also rejected by the Priests, the people of all the Religions, of all the organizations of pseudo-esoteric, pseudo-occultist type, those know-it-all persons who consider themselves very serious; they always say: “That which this man says is madness; he is an evil one.” Thus is how the Son of Man is rejected in this World.

Every initiate must live the Cosmic Drama of the Crucifixion within himself. The Three Traitors crucify him, deliver him up; Judas, the Demon of Desire, sells him for 30 pieces of silver, delivers him for women, pleasures, games; Pilate, the Demon of the Mind, always washes his hands, finds justification for all errors; Caiaphas, the Demon of Ill Will, always wishes to do his own will, hates the Will of the Father. The Cosmic Drama must be lived by the Initiate in complete, integral, total form.

We find that he is cursed and hung and shall have to be killed — that is, the Earthly Man must die, submits himself to the Will of the Father and goes to death, his posthumous work.

In the Consciousness of the Initiate there will always be formidable cosmic events, and amid lightning, thunder, and great earthquakes of the Soul, the Lord will always deliver his Spirit to the Father exclaiming: “MY FATHER, INTO THY HANDS I COMMEND MY SPIRIT”; then comes his death.

With his death he DISINTEGRATES HIS PSYCHIC AGGREGATES, and after his body is lowered to the sepulchre, he resurrects on the third day. These Three Days are also allegorical; at the end of those Three Days, the Son of Man passes through Three Great Purifications; he dies down to the last Inhuman Element that was within him. For this reason it is said that THE SON OF MAN HAS DIED IN HIMSELF, HAS KILLED DEATH, BECAUSE DEATH CAN ONLY BE KILLED WITH DEATH; then the Son of Man must resurrect with the Physical Body; he is a Resurrected Master; he has the Elixir of Long Life; he is a true King of Nature, according to the Order of Melchizedek. Then we can exclaim like the Apostle Saint Paul: “Death is swallowed up in victory. Where, O death, is thy sting? Where, O grave, is thy victory?” (1 CORINTHIANS 15:53-55).

So that the important thing is that He may achieve redemption; on his resurrecting, the Soul in him resurrects. All our Anima and Spiritual Principles in him resurrect and one in him.

It is necessary to comprehend that He is our Authentic Inner Savior, our Particular Intimate Jesus-Christ.

Thus he resurrects in the Father and the Father resurrects in him. When Philip, that Master expert in the Jinas States, said to Jesus: “Show us the Father,” the Great Kabir answered: “HE WHO HAS SEEN THE SON, HAS SEEN THE FATHER.”

The Three Great Purifications are symbolized by the Three Nails of the Cross. Above the Cross is the word INRI (Ignis Natura Renovatur Integra). The Fire incessantly renews Nature.

The Three Nails signify the Three Purifications by Fire and by Iron. After the Three Purifications by means of Fire and of Iron, Resurrection from the dead is attained.

The Three Days are three periods of work in which the Son of Man must realize the Great Work.

Bear in mind that with the Cross is with which he has disintegrated the Undesirable Elements. Fidelity to the Father is seen with the Cross; there are many people who say: “I am faithful to the Father, to the Mother, to the Son of Man,” but when the hour of testing arrives, at the moment of moments they fail with the Cross. Where is the Cross? It is in the crossing of the Lingam-Yoni; there they fornicate, commit adultery, perform their evil deeds. Then the Undesirable Elements must be disintegrated in order to seek the death of the Earthly Man.

It is necessary to know that Jesus the Great Kabir who came to the world 1977 years ago and who preached this Doctrine, knew very well that each one bears his PARTICULAR INTIMATE JESUS-CHRIST; for this reason he said that what he wants is for each one to follow his own Intimate Christ, for it is He who counts, because he is our Savior, the one who comes to reconcile us with our own Father who is in Secret, with the Old One of the Centuries; he is the Great Reconciler.

Once He has achieved the triumph he is glorified and is worthy of all praise and glory, since he has conquered evil within himself. He has not conquered it from outside, but within himself; he has been immolated as a lamb — for this reason he is called the Sacrificed Lamb. He has immolated himself to save us with his blood — that is, with the Fire. Because in Alchemy Blood represents the Sacred Fire of the Kundalini.

It is good to understand all this; I am explaining to you what I myself have lived, what I am experiencing in myself; I would not commit the crime of telling you that I am the Christ — that would be a blasphemy, a lack of respect to the Savior; but I do tell you that He is saving me, as he has saved so many; I can be one more of the saved, and as I am working, I have experienced it, and what I am saying is what I attest, what I have lived.

NUMEROLOGY AND ESOTERIC MATHEMATICS

The Initiatory Path in the Arcana of TAROT AND KABBALAH

CONCLUSION

∞ =

Ariano Montes, the great Esotericist who dwells in the Monastery in Spain, gives us this formula of Infinite = Pentalpha. It is also found in old books. The Son of Man is born from the Water and the Fire in the Ninth Sphere, Sex.

From the psychological point of view the Number 5 is: Persuasion, Investigation, Selection, Comprehension.

In the Number 5 we see study. This number must be handled profoundly, in reflective, analytical form, seeking, investigating new aspects, Analyzing and Investigating. Nothing must be done unreflectively, because if those conditions are not met, things turn out badly done.

It is not a matter of projecting because one fails; those who spend their lives making projects fail. One must see the pros and cons of things so that things do not turn out badly done, learn to think for ourselves; all those who live making projects fail; they spend their time making projects and fail.

One must march upon the facts and do so with Intelligence so as not to put one’s foot in it.

From the abyss that exists between thought and facts, sometimes some project is formed but does not result.

One must not march upon projects but upon facts; one must march upon facts with Intelligence, with Wisdom, with comprehension; otherwise we can have great failures. One must be alert.

The Number 5 is also a symbol of Power; we must do things with Intelligence, vigilant so as not to err.

Number Six — (6)

To the Number 6 corresponds the 6th Constellation, Virgo. The planet is Venus and the musical note is LA.

It is related with the Islets of Langerhans located in the Pancreas; they are the ones that secrete the Insulin so important for the digestion of sugars.

The color is Blue; its plexus the Sacral, or Coccyx, the Muladhara Chakra. The 6 is related with all the glands.

The Number 6 has 72 Gates on each side and 72 Intermediate. The Initiate who crosses those 72 Gates can enter the World of the Crude Reality of Life and the Sidereal.

The World of the Crude Reality is the Ninth Sphere because 72 Gates = 7 + 2 = 9. If we comprehend what the 72 Gates are, if we know what the GREAT ARCANUM is, we will be able to enter the World of the Crude Reality of Life and the Sidereal World, which is the Astral World.

It is very interesting that the Number 6 has 72 Gates on each side and 72 Intermediate; the explanation we find in the Star of King Solomon.

6 MASCULINE POINTS — 6 FEMININE RECESSES.

In summary, this star has 12 Rays, 6 Masculine, 6 Feminine, which break down into the 12 Constellations of the Zodiac; in it are summed up and synthesized the Mysteries of the Arcanum A.Z.F., the Mysteries of Alchemy, the Mysteries of Sex; this is the symbol of the Logos.

Once the 6 has been explained in transcendental Kabbalistic form, you will now explain to yourselves why one enters the World of the Crude Reality as we comprehend this Arcanum.

For this reason, on delivering the Arcanum A.Z.F. in lapidary and public form, people are horrified. The teachings of the Ninth Sphere must be shown through Kabbalah, so that they know the Truth.

The 72 Gates placed on each side are in Jachin and Boaz, and at the center of both columns where the 72 Intermediate ones are, is the Mystery of the Two Columns, the Rough Stone.

One must chisel the Rough Stone until making it perfect. If we add that Holy 6 three times it gives us 666, which is the number of the Beast. But if we add it 6 + 6 + 6 = 18. The 18 is rather tenebrous; it is the Twilight, the Hidden Enemies, the Secret Enemies.

The Tenebrous Ones attack terribly when one is working in the Great Work. The tenebrous ones do not like it and seek how to draw the disciple off the Path; they attack him terribly.

In the Number 6 we find the Erotic Volitions, the ideas of Ornamentation, RECIPROCITY, FERTILITY, AMOROUSNESS.

Number Seven — (7)

The Number 7 is a very strong number. Its planet is Neptune, and to it corresponds the Constellation of Libra. Its musical note is SI; among metals Bronze; among stones the Opal. Its color is Magenta (a blue color almost violet, almost steely). All the Nadis or Nerve Channels are of this number.

The Number 7 is guarded by “248” Precepts; to the extent that we comprehend those 248 Precepts we shall progress. Arcanum 7 is the Triumph, and he who triumphs sees the Astral Light and practically remains Self-realized.

If we add 248 to itself it gives us: 2 + 4 + 8 = 14, 1 + 4 = 5.

The 248 Precepts are reduced to Arcanum 14 of Kabbalah, which is Temperance, a woman with two pitchers who mixes the Two Waters — that is, the White Elixir with the Red Elixir of life, of alchemy. That is, the work with the Sun and the Moon, the work of Transmutation.

The Number 5 comes to be the Flaming Star, Self-realized, perfect. The 7 is the Number of Victory; it has 248 affirmative-type precepts. One must comprehend the 248 Precepts in order to attain victory over oneself and to be able to see the Astral Light. There we find the effort of the Soul, of action, and the image, response or result.

The Number 7 is the Arcanum of Victory; the 248 Precepts are reduced to Arcanum “5,” which is nothing other than the Flaming Star, resplendent, the Star of Divinity.

THE NUMBER 7 IS EFFICIENCY, INTEGRITY, CONCENTRATION, CLEMENCY, LONGING FOR ASCENDING LIFE.

Number Eight — (8)

The Number 8 is the Octad. Its planet is Saturn; its Constellation the 8th which corresponds to Scorpio. Its metal is Lead, and among stones the Black Onyx. The musical note is DO in the Second Octave.

In the Number 8 are contained the laws of Evolution and Involution. Those who are subject to Evolution violate the Laws of the Holy Eight, violate the Laws of Mathematics, for every Evolution is followed by Involution. These two Laws form the Holy Eight.

EVOLUTION AND INVOLUTION: These two laws of Evolution and Involution cannot lead us to Self-realization; the Path of the Consciousness is needed. In Nature, in the Universe, everything is Mathematics.

The Holy Eight represents Brain, Heart, and Sex of the Planetary Genie. We already know that the struggle is terrible — brain against sex, sex against brain, heart against heart. The Holy Eight has 365 Precepts; one must not violate those precepts.

3 + 6 + 5 = 14, 1 + 4 = 5.

The 14 signifies Temperance; it is the mixture of the Waters; it is the work with the Red Elixir and the White Elixir.

When the struggle of heart against heart is established, the Five-Pointed Star falls and remains with the lower angles upward.

The Number 8 is the Primordial Water, for it is placed in the 9th Sphere, in the Planetary Brain.

The Waters are transmuted into Energy and ascend through Ida and Pingala forming the Caduceus of Mercury, the Holy Eight, reaching the brain.

One must learn to distinguish between what is a Fall and what is a Descent. No one can ascend without first descending — it is the Law.

To the supreme disobedience of Adam was opposed the supreme obedience of the Christ; but Christ had to Descend.

Whenever we wish to Ascend, we must Descend; otherwise we remain stuck, and from these stagnations one can only emerge by descending; but distinguish between what is a Fall and what is a Descent.

In the Number 8: Moderation, the Caduceus, the Distribution with Justice.

Number Nine — (9)

The Number 9 is the Enneagon, is the Ninth Sphere. It is related with Mars through the 9th Sphere. There a struggle is undertaken against oneself, against everything, against Nature, because there Demons and Gods are manufactured, and one must descend to the bottom of Hell to manufacture the Solar Bodies.

To it corresponds the 9th Constellation, Sagittarius. The metal is Iron, its stone the Carbuncle, the Color is Red and the musical note is RE, in its 2nd Octave.

To the number 9 correspond the Coronary Plexus, the Creative Organs, the Gonads.

The Work with the 9th Sphere has an objective: to create the Solar Bodies. But one must comprehend that even if an individual has manufactured those bodies, he has not thereby attained Immortality.

To attain Immortality one must have worked in the Dissolution of the Ego, because otherwise one becomes a HANASMUSSEN with Double Center of Gravity; those are the abortions of the Cosmic Mother who enter the Inferior Worlds until they reach the Second Death.

One needs to achieve the Elimination of the Ego and of the Three Traitors. When one reaches one hundred percent of Consciousness, one realizes what the Ego is and the Three Traitors.

The Red Demons of Seth must be reduced to cosmic dust.

It is necessary to experience Absolute Death, because if any Subjective Element remains alive, the Deceased is called to order.

Those who have died in themselves are received in the World of the Deceased.

To the Number 9 belong Emotion, Wisdom, Generosity, Geniality.

Lastly, we have the Zero; this is Eternity, the UNIVERSAL SPIRIT OF LIFE.

IN KABBALAH ONE MUST OPERATE WITH ALL THE NUMBERS. THE NUMBER IS HOLY, IS INFINITE, IS ETERNAL.

The Seven Churches of the Apocalypse of Saint John and Their Relation with the Kabbalistic Tree

“He who has ears, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches. To him who overcomes, I will give to eat of the Tree of Life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.”

(REVELATION 2:7).

The FIRST CHURCH OF EPHESUS, or MULADHARA CHAKRA, has 4 marvelous petals which are situated in the coccyx bone. The Coccyx is the base bone of the Spinal Column. All that is related to the 7 Churches or Chakras is found in my books: “Aquarian Message” and “The Mysteries of Fire.”

The SECOND CHURCH OF SMYRNA, the PROSTATIC (UTERINE IN WOMAN) OR SWADHISTHANA CHAKRA, is located at the level of the prostate. The Ancient Magicians, the Persians, the Egyptians gave much importance to the prostate. The Letter which makes it vibrate is M, and is pronounced with the lips closed and raising and lowering the tone; it is of singular power; the Magicians use it.

The THIRD CHURCH OF PERGAMOS, the UMBILICAL OR MANIPURA CHAKRA, is situated in the Solar Plexus; it has 10 petals, 5 active in the Etheric Body and 5 latent in the Telepathic Center. There is the Brain of Emotions, and when it is developed, Telepathy is attained.

The FOURTH CHURCH OF THYATIRA IS THE CARDIAC OR ANAHATA CHAKRA, situated in the Heart; it is a Lotus Flower that has 12 petals which shine searingly in the Astral Light; it is good to develop it to learn to enter and leave the body at will; moreover, journeys with the body of flesh and bone through the 4th Dimension in Jinas are facilitated.

The FIFTH CHURCH OF SARDIS IS IN THE THYROID GLAND, IS THE VISHUDDHA CHAKRA; it is the Laryngeal Chakra which confers upon us Clairaudience, and has 16 petals.

The SIXTH CHURCH OF PHILADELPHIA IS THE FRONTAL CHAKRA OR AJNA; it has two petals, is between the two eyebrows, at the Center of Clairvoyance; with it one can see the Aura of people and see the Superior Worlds.

The SEVENTH CHURCH OF LAODICEA IS THE KING OF THE CHAKRAS, THE SAHASRARA; it has 1,000 petals, is the Center of Polyvidence, the Center of Intuition; it is the Diamond Eye.

As the Kundalini ascends along the Spinal Medulla through the Brahma-Nadi, it awakens each of the Chakras of the Nadi Chitra. The Igneous Serpent is related in Kabbalah with the whole Kabbalistic Tree. What is needed to open the Chakras?

In the First Church of Ephesus the axis is principally in the Virtue of Patience. To handle the Creative Energy the Patience of the Saint Job is required. Lucifer is the ladder to descend, and Lucifer is the ladder to ascend.

In the Second Church of Smyrna, its virtue is Chastity.

The Third Chakra is the Umbilical or the Center of Emotions. Its special virtue then is the Control of Emotions; it is to kill Desires, Passions, like Gluttony, Drunkenness, etc. One must be Temperate, not let oneself be carried away by Emotions.

The Fourth Chakra is that of the Heart, the Center of Love. One must know how to love, not to hate. Its foundation is Love.

The Fifth Church of Sardis is related with the Intellect, the Mind. One must know how to take care of the Word, the Verb. Right Thinking and Right Speaking, Right Acting, Right Thinking, Right Feeling, Right Acting. Take care of the Mind and the Word, “it is as bad to speak when one should be silent, as to be silent when one should speak.” There are times when to speak is a crime, just as there are times when to be silent is a crime. There are criminal silences.

In the Sixth Church, to have Clairvoyance, Serenity is needed. To see in the Internal Worlds, one must not let oneself be carried away by Anger because it destroys the Frontal Chakra; therefore the condition is Serenity.

For the development of the Seventh Church, Elevated Devotion is needed, Total Holiness, the Will.

The Virtues and qualities are related with the Kabbalistic Tree, with its 10 Numbers and correlated with the 7 Churches.
