A Samael Aun Weor book

The Necklace of the Buddha

A cosmological and practical treatise that moves from the Child Sun and the Milky Way down to the concrete discipline of the aspirant. Samael Aun Weor presents the solar system of Ors, atomic science, the ninth sphere, sexual energy as the engine of regeneration, the lunar and solar bodies, the pluralized I, the kundalini, the division of attention, the science of meditation, and the Venustic initiation. One of his most complete works.

About The Necklace of the Buddha

The Necklace of the Buddha is one of Samael Aun Weor's most expansive treatises: in its nineteen chapters it unites cosmology, esoteric anthropology, sexual alchemy, and meditative technique in a single architecture. The title itself is an image of the book: each bead of the necklace is a cosmos, and all the cosmoses form a single thread of consciousness that passes through the aspirant's heart.

The first half establishes the cosmic frame: the Child Sun as seed of creation, the Milky Way, the solar system of Ors, atomic science, the ninth sphere where the work of regeneration is fulfilled. The second half descends to the intimate laboratory: sexual energy, the attraction of opposites, the sexual hydrogen Si-12, the lunar bodies that must die, the pluralized I, the awakening kundalini, the poisons of opium and the subconscious.

The final chapters deliver the concrete disciplines: the division of attention, the intimate remembrance of the Being, the science of meditation, the example of the Chinese master Wu Wen, and the Venustic initiation as the horizon of the work. A dense, beautiful, complete book. Read it with notebook and silence.

The Necklace of the Buddha

This is the 15th Christmas Message. The first twelve provided us with basic information for the knowledge of Gnosis, but from the 13th onward — that is, from the year 1964 — they bring us the scientific part of this glorious wisdom. We ask the occasional readers or those interested in Gnosis not to be discouraged upon reading these latest messages, because Master Samael Aun Weor has written a series of books that gradually prepare the person to understand the scientific part.

PROLOGUE

This is the 15th Christmas Message. The first twelve provided us with basic information for the knowledge of Gnosis, but from the 13th onward — that is, from the year 1964 — they bring us the scientific part of this glorious wisdom. We ask the occasional readers or those interested in Gnosis not to be discouraged upon reading these latest messages, because Master Samael Aun Weor has written a series of books that gradually prepare the person to understand the scientific part.

We remind Gnostic students that the pure teaching is found in the works of the Master, devotion is achieved in the sanctuaries of purification, and the result is the work of each one of us. Hence, the one who sets himself to observe the students is lamentably mistaken, because there he finds only the defects of others, and the defects that must be done away with are one’s own; only the redeemed Master can be observed as our model. The object of these teachings is to form supermen; it is exact that we are made different, but with study and practice. The task has begun, awakening the dormant ones and, with the help of the awakened, taking unmatchable positions. We do not attack — we help; and then those whom we have helped help us.

We observe the arrogance of the wealthy man, the confidence of the landowner or rancher, the joy of the mature man who succeeds in attracting a young woman, the change that occurs in young people who succeed in acquiring an academic degree. If these changes are achieved in the person with material objects and intellectual knowledge, what will be the change that occurs when we feel ourselves to be children of God? If mere friendship with people of prestige causes such pleasure, what will it be like to have it with the Beloved One?

When Religion is excluded from science, the human being feels insignificant.

Let us see our position in the world of matter according to the present Christmas Message. Our planet Earth is a gigantic mass with a diameter of 12,756,776 meters, a periphery of 40,009 kilometers, some 500,000,000 square kilometers, or a trillion cubic meters; within the terrestrial crust, which is about 50 kilometers thick, live the beings of the planet, and on top of it we ourselves like microbes. This gigantic mass is barely one of the nine planets of our solar system, which moreover has 31 known satellites, thousands of asteroids, comets, and millions of meteorites, meteors, and particles already found by modern astronauts; these particles gradually increase the size of each planet.

All this immense weight together barely equals one percent of the weight of the central sun, which rotates at a speed of 20 kilometers per second on its axis and travels at a speed of 270 kilometers per second on its own ellipse. Our Earth rotates at a speed of 1,667 kilometers per hour around the sun, making the full circuit in one year, the mean distance from the sun being 149.5 million kilometers. Our planetary system belongs to the galaxy known among us by the name Milky Way, which contains 18 million suns like ours with their own planetary systems, the central axis being the planet Sirius; and our galaxy is barely one among the millions that populate infinite space; and amid that frightful system we live, jostling and elbowing each other because we cannot fit alongside our neighbors. Our arrogant solar system is barely a little speck of dust compared with our galaxy.

Since all this knowledge will bring confusion to the student body, we inform you that, by means of Gnostic wisdom, we learn to enter into relation with all those superior beings who inhabit or populate our Earth, our solar system, and even our galaxy. For this it is necessary to situate ourselves at the origin of our own creation, which lies in the human being, in our seed or grain, and the Wisdom of the Arcanum A.Z.F. (sex) bestows it upon us.

Since the year 1950, Master Samael Aun Weor has been speaking about the wisdom of sex in all his works, which now exceed thirty, and in very many pamphlets, but up to the present only murmurs have arisen among the people who feel themselves offended, while no one refutes him scientifically.

Now, dear reader, let us see what happens in the field of human science. For this we take three kinds of doctors: the agronomist or doctor of plants, the veterinarian or doctor of animals, and the physician or doctor of the human species. The agronomists have made much progress, and it is undeniable that today they offer us grains and fruits of the earth in unmatchable form; they have already realized that what is valuable in the plant is the seed, and they studied the way to preserve it and keep it unaltered; for this they invented silos or granaries; they do not waste that seed and do not let the farmer throw thousands of seeds into each hole so that the strongest will be born, because they know that every seed germinates and even more so if it is strong and healthy; the simple farmer does not think to plant corn and throw thousands of seeds into the hole, but places three or four seeds and knows that thus the grain germinates better.

Our farmer knows that the coffee plant which bears excessively duly loads of coffee lasts one or two harvests without producing and even dies due to the excess of seed it lost. The farmer pays so that the seed of the plant be gathered.

The veterinarian also knows that the value of the stud or breeding bull lies in his seed, which fetches prices among us of up to 80 thousand pesos. From those studs they extract the seed by mechanical means and from one cubic centimeter of that material they make thousands of injections for artificial insemination, thus meticulously preserving that marvelous seed; and it does not occur to any veterinarian to tell the owner of one of those breeding stock to join him with females of his species, supposedly so that the calf may quickly become a bull…

These studs are kept far from the females of their species. Every veterinarian knows that when a horse is kept in union for one night with a female of his species, the following day he does not make the journey, becomes covered with sweat, and trembles with weakness. If this happens to a beast that produces physical force and loses it, what will it be like for the human being who joins worse than the beasts and daily, losing his own seed?

All of us have gone to the doctor and have asked him about the problem of nocturnal pollutions, about our children at the age of development, when the woman in gestation approaches the time of having the child; and we know all too well the advice — given that the man loses around 22 million spermatozoa or human seed, we are told that this is natural, that the man can perfectly well unite himself and discharge that material, which actually does harm to the organism, and similar things; we are told that the boy who does not lose that energy becomes atrophied. If this were true, maidens could not exist, because they too would become atrophied.

We have spoken very plainly so that science may demonstrate the harm done to the organism by the use of its own seed. We teach how to improve the human seed by means of what we eat, what we breathe, and what we think, and we inform that with the practice of the Arcanum, one strong and healthy spermatozoon can escape and fecundate without expending the millions of the fornicator. We know that the tree which discharges its fruit before being ripe lasts very little; for example, on our Colombian coasts there are people who sell the coconut water, discharging the coconut tree before it ripens; that coconut tree lasts very few years, dries up, and dies; on the other hand, the owners who do not reap it but allow the fruit to fall ripe — those coconut trees last 50 years and more of life. All of this we indicate so that the student himself may observe nature.

For our students, the surprise of the fornicators should be a subject of study when one speaks to them of Scientific Chastity; for they immediately say that thus the world will come to an end — that is, that the human species will be extinguished. And what do they say now, when all the world press speaks about pills for birth control? Now they are not alarmed, because they know that those do cause incalculable damage and disorders. The evil one is not troubled before evil.

What does the Hydrogen SI-12, of which the Master speaks in his latest messages, signify? Let us see: The Trinity — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — forms the first Law of Three. The whole Universe is governed by the Law of 6; our Central Sun by the Law of 12; the Worlds of our systems are governed by the Law of 24; our planet Earth by 48 laws; and the abyss by 96. We have already seen our sad position as humans before our own solar system; now, by means of this knowledge, we learn to have divine relations by means of our own seed, which is the best thing our physical organism produces.

Then we have that 12 are the Laws in which our king of the heavens unfolds. We find that Law in our own seed, making use of the Word and pronouncing the note Si — that is, the highest of the musical scale — and we use it to form our solar bodies. It is called hydrogen because it is watery, SI because of the note, and 12 because of the solar Law or the Law of the Sun. The letters of the Mantram I.A.O. serve thus: with the sublime I we raise the energy up the spinal column; with the A we engender the deed; and with the O we gestate it so that it may be realized, fulfilled, and exist.

So then, let us study to awaken consciousness, lest we be like the awake-sleepers who go to look for an object in the home and when they reach the place where the object is, they have already forgotten what they went to look for.

We inform you that Light and Consciousness are at bottom one and the same thing: a sun has Light, a human being attains Consciousness. Consciousness is lived experience; that lived experience across the millennia is called, in religious language, soul; we give it the name Buddhata, because it is barely an embryo of the soul, which we must strengthen by forming the solar bodies that we make with our divine seed or grain, which we guard as a precious treasure.

To those outside we can only recall the words of Master Samael Aun Weor: “If men knew what they were going to lose when they go to fornicate, instead of going laughing they would go weeping.” My counsel to you, O student, is: “Study, acquire comprehension, and practice these teachings, and thus you will be able to serve others to form a better world.”

May the most profound peace reign in your hearts.

SUMMUM SUPREMUM SANCTUARIUM GNOSTICUM.

PREFACE

Most beloved:

We have said in this Christmas Message 1966-1967 all that we had to say; you must study intensively; it is not enough to read the Message once like one who reads newspapers; this Message is to be studied throughout your whole life and understood profoundly on all levels of the mind.

Do not be like the flitterers who today are in one school and tomorrow in another, who miserably waste their time reading and theorizing but accomplishing absolutely nothing.

Do not be like the profaners of the MYSTERIES, who today study and tomorrow mock all these teachings.

Study and work; this Message is for your own Intimate Self-Realization.

Remember that we are giving you the second part of the Gnostic teaching. The whole summum of our Esoteric Christic Doctrine will be condensed in the Christmas Message of each year.

In other times the Message was a simple pamphlet; now this Message will be a book that you will receive for the Christmas of each year.

It is necessary that the Gnostic Lumisials become halls of meditation. It is urgent that meditation be practiced in groups, according to the lesson of chapter eighteen (18) of this “Christmas Message 1966-1967.”

Remember, most beloved, that in the account we give of the Chinese master WU WEN we teach a practical technique for meditation.

It is necessary to study this Christmas Message in all the Lumisials, to discuss it, to teach it, to analyze it, to understand it.

Most beloved, I wish you Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year 1967; may the Star of Bethlehem shine upon your path; may there be peace in your hearts; may there be happiness in your homes.

INVERENTIAL PEACE

Samael Aun Weor

Chapter I

Chapter One: THE CHILD SUN

Most beloved Gnostic brethren:

This night, all of us celebrate with immense joy the Christmas of 1966, and it becomes urgent to study very deeply the Christic mysteries.

At the dawn of the great cosmic day, the First Logos, the Father, said to the Third Logos, the Holy Spirit: “Go, fecundate my wife, the chaotic Matter, the Great Mother, that life may arise; however, thou shalt see.” Thus spoke the Father, and the Third Logos bowed reverently; the dawn of creation was breaking.

In the seven temples of chaos worked the Cosmocrators, the army of the builders of the dawn, the host of the Elohim, the Third Logos.

Three forces are indispensable for every creation: the positive force, the negative force, and the neutral force.

Before the altar of the temple, one Elohim polarized himself in the masculine, positive form, and the other in the feminine, negative form.

The lower floor of the temple, the choir of the Elohim, represented the neutral form.

This order of the three forces was thus established in each of the seven temples of the primitive chaos. The divine man sang, the divine woman sang, the choir of the Elohim sang.

All the liturgy of the seven temples was sung, and the Great Word made fecund the womb of the Great Divine Mother.

“In the Beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

“He was in the beginning with God.” “All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that has been made.” “In Him was life, and the life was the light of human beings.”

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 the Christ was born. The Second Logos is always the son of the Virgin Mother.

She is always virgin before the birth, in the birth, and after the birth. She is Mary, Isis, Adonia, Isoberta, Rhea, Cybele, etc.

She is the primitive chaos, the Primordial Substance, the Raw Material of the Great Work.

The Cosmic Christ is the army of the Great Word and is always born in the worlds and crucified in each of them so that all beings may have life and have it in abundance.

My brethren: Observe the King Star in its elliptical movement. The sun moves from south to north and from north to south. When the Sun advances toward the north, the birth of the Child Sun is celebrated. He is born on December 24 at midnight, just before the dawn of the 25th.

If the Christ Sun did not advance toward the north, the whole Earth would become a great mass of ice, and all life would perish, but the Sun God advances toward the north from December 24 to enliven and give warmth and life to all creatures.

The Child Sun is born on the 24th, just before the dawn of December 25, and is crucified at the spring equinox to give life to all that exists.

The fixed nature of the date of his birth and the variable nature of his death always have, in all religious theologies, profound significance.

Weak and helpless is the Child of the Sun born in this humble manger of the world, and on one of those very long winter nights when the days are very short in the northern regions.

The sign of the Celestial Virgin rises on the horizon at Christmastime, and thus the Child is born to save the world.

The Christ Sun during infancy finds himself surrounded by dangers, and it is by all signs very clear that the kingdom of darkness is much longer than his in the first days, but he lives in spite of all the terrible dangers that threaten him.

Time passes… the days lengthen cruelly, and the spring equinox arrives, Holy Week, the moment of crossing from one extreme to the other, the instant of the crucifixion of the Lord in this our world.

The Christ Sun is crucified on our planet Earth to give life to all that exists; after his death he is resurrected in all of creation, and then the grape and the grain ripen. The Law of the Logos is sacrifice.

This is the cosmic drama that repeats itself from moment to moment in all infinite space, in all worlds, in all suns.

This is the cosmic drama that is represented in all the temples of Egypt, Greece, India, Mexico, etc.

This is the cosmic drama that is represented in all the temples of all the worlds of infinite space.

The secondary aspect of this great drama corresponds with complete exactness to every sacred individual who, by means of the revolution of consciousness, attains the Venustic Initiation and becomes a Solar Hero.

Chapter Two: THE MILKY WAY

Christmas is a solar festival, an ineffable cosmic festival that has its origin in the profound night of the centuries.

The three-dimensional physical sun is only the vehicle of action of the spiritual sun. In the physical sun, the mystic finds the midnight sun, the Star of Bethlehem, the Cosmic Christ.

All the archaic religions always rendered cult to the sun, and even the Vatican is constructed in such a manner that its doors are open toward the east, toward where the sun rises.

The primitive Christians always said with great devotion: “Our Lord Jesus Christ the Sun.”

It is admirable how the king star moves among the innumerable stars of infinite space; in relation to the nearest worlds, it does so at a speed of 20 kilometers per second.

At the center of the Milky Way, the sun rotates at an astonishing speed of 270 kilometers per second. In this movement it drags the earth and the entire solar system.

The Earth on which we live, move, and have our Being is something more than a mass of matter; it is, beyond all doubt, a living organism upon whose epidermis we all live as mere parasites.

The path traveled by the Earth in infinite space is very complicated and difficult.

Planet Earth, dancing around the sun amid the music of the spheres, travels in reality at a dizzying speed, rotating through the center of this formidable galaxy in which we live.

The Milky Way is truly so gigantic that, even traveling at 270 kilometers per second, the sun will take some 200 million years to make a complete revolution around it.

The Milky Way is a living cosmic organism, a spiral body within which exists our solar system.

Every nebula, including our Milky Way, has in fact and by its own right the same fundamental design.

In every galaxy three forces are processed: the first is the Centripetal, the second is the Centrifugal, the third is the Neutral, which serves as a point of support and equilibrium.

The Centrifugal force imparts to the nebula a movement in spiral form, similar to a whirlwind in a sandy area that imparts spiral movement to the column of dust it raises.

The Milky Way, with all its eighteen million suns and innumerable planets and moons, has as its center of gravitation the Central Sun Sirius.

Ancient esoteric traditions affirm that in the Central Sun Sirius exists the Transcended Church.

Within the temple of Sirius, the adepts may have the bliss of encountering the disciples of the God Sirius.

When any adept attempts to pass beyond the Milky Way, he is always obliged to return to Sirius. To the adepts of planet Earth it is forbidden to pass beyond Sirius.

Astronomers know very well that beyond the Milky Way there are only three galaxies visible to the naked eye, without help of the telescope. Two of them can be seen from the southern hemisphere; they are the Large Cloud and the Small Cloud of Magellan, so called in honor of the celebrated explorer.

The adepts of the Great White Lodge, when they pass beyond Sirius, can see two orders of worlds that twinkle marvelously with a beautiful rose-colored hue; in those two Galaxies there exist other types of cosmic laws unknown to the inhabitants of the Milky Way.

In the sacred texts of occult wisdom there exists a maxim that says: “Where the light shines brightest, there too the darkness is thickest.”

In the superior worlds every adept can verify that many times, beside some temple of light, there also exists, by contrast, a temple of frightful darkness.

Based on this rule, we may assure, without fear of error, that the Central Sun Sirius is double and that its companion is a gigantic tenebrous world.

From Sirius come to planet Earth the cosmic forces that govern the Supraheaven; but from its tenebrous brother descend to us the forces that govern the Infra-hell.

Astronomers give Sirius the nickname Dog Star, and to its tenebrous companion that of the Pup.

Our Galaxy is gigantic, marvelous, formidable. Our Galaxy measures some 100,000 light-years in diameter and perhaps some 10,000 light-years in thickness.

The Sun that warms us and gives us life, our beloved Sun, source of all life, is situated some 3,000 light-years from the center, which places it at a third of the distance between the center of the Galaxy and one of its extremes. It seems to be near the inner ring of a spiral arm and also near a group of very faint and distant stars and another group nearer the center.

In infinite space there exist many thousands and millions of Galaxies; it is estimated that in a space of 250,000,000 light-years there exist around 2,000,000,000 Galaxies, and even at this tremendous distance they give no signs of ending.

The situation of our solar system is, beyond all doubt and without any exaggeration, the same as that of a blood cell within the human body.

In the microscope we can verify that a white corpuscle also consists of a nucleus or Sun, its cytoplasm or sphere of influence; and this too is surrounded on all sides by millions of similar cells or systems, the whole forming a great Being whose nature would be, for the cell, hardly possible to conceive.

The Milky Way is a living organism that was born in the ninth sphere of water and fire.

Those who suppose that the Galaxies, including the Milky Way, had their origin in the explosion of some primitive atom are very mistaken.

There exists an esoteric maxim that says: “As is Above, so is Below.”

If the origin of this little Microcosmic Galaxy called the human being had its origin in the ninth sphere, in sex, we can logically deduce, without fear of being deceived, that the origin of our Galaxy and of all the Galaxies of the infinite is to be sought in the ninth sphere, in sex.

The Temple of Wisdom is found in the ninth sphere; the Temple of Wisdom is situated between the Phallus and the Womb.

It is in every way impossible to experience the truth about the origin of the Galaxies if we do not enter the ninth sphere (Sex).

The sexual connubium of the word in the dawn of life makes fecund the waters of Chaos, and the Galaxies are born, and the worlds are born.

The sexual fire of the Kundalini always makes fecund the womb of the Great Mother.

In the Beginning was the Word…

Chapter III

Chapter Three: THE SOLAR SYSTEM OF ORS

In Nirvana that sense of family, tribe, clan, has disappeared because all beings consider themselves to be members of one great family. Variety is unity.

Yet, through observation and experience, all of us brethren have been able to verify that there exists something like a family likeness in each of the groups of Elohim or Prajapatis that govern the different solar systems of this Galaxy in which we live.

That sense of cosmic association in each group of Elohim makes of them something like ineffable, divine, sublime families.

The cosmic family that governs the solar system of Ors, in which we live, move, and have our Being, counts among its most distinguished members Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Michael, Samael, Zachariel, and Orifiel.

Each of these mentioned brethren is chief of angelic legions; each of these brethren must work intensely in the Great Work of the Father.

Gabriel is the regent of the Moon, Raphael is the regent of Mercury, Uriel governs Venus, Michael is the King of the Sun, Samael is the regent of Mars, Zachariel is the rector of Jupiter, and Orifiel rules the destinies of old Saturn, the ancient one of the heavens.

At the center of each sphere, of each planet, is always found the cosmic temple, the planetary temple, the abode of the regent genius.

Every master of the White Lodge can visit in Astral Body the heart-temple of planet Earth. The genius of the Earth is that Melchizedek of whom the Bible speaks: Changam, the King of the World.

We have been told that the genius of the earth has a physical body similar to ours, but eternal, immortal; some Lamas of Tibet have had the great bliss of knowing Changam personally.

The genius of the Earth lives in Agharti, the subterranean kingdom, in the company of the surviving Initiates of Lemuria and Atlantis.

The race of Agharti only awaits that the degenerated Aryan race that currently lives on the surface of the earth perish by fire. When all of us, the perverse of this race, have perished, then they, the survivors of Lemuria and Atlantis, will repopulate the Earth and, mixing with some chosen survivors of our present Aryan race, will give rise to the future sixth race.

Within the interior of the Earth there exists a race with Lemurian and Atlantean physical bodies. These races possess all the scientific atomic inventions of ancient times.

The King of the World works intensely and is helped in his work by the Choirs, those great Beings who govern life and death on all planes of cosmic consciousness.

The Earth is a living organism that rotates around the Sun. The planetary genius keeps her firm in her march.

The Earth is one of the members of the Great cosmic Family of the Solar system of Ors.

All the sidereal bodies near this Earth governed by Melchizedek, King of Fire, form part of this complicated family.

The Solar system of Ors includes within its bosom many varied objects. Around the Sun rotate in orbit nine planets governed by Ineffable Beings, thirty-one known satellites, thousands of asteroids, comets, and many millions of meteoric particles.

In spite of their number and of the enormous cosmic mass that all these bodies represent — although it seems incredible — more than 99 percent of the matter of the Solar System of Ors is totally reconcentrated in the Sun.

Truly the King Star is the heart of the solar system of Ors. In the heart-temple of the Sun, situated within the center of the radiant sphere, live and work the seven Chohans who direct the seven great cosmic rays.

Few are the human beings of planet Earth who can visit in Astral Body the heart-temple of the Sun.

A tremendous and frightful precipice leads the Initiate to the vestibule of wisdom.

Everyone who reaches the sacred vestibule must prostrate himself reverently before the guardian of the temple.

A narrow path will lead the visitor to the heart-temple where the seven Chohans terribly abide.

In the heart of the Sun, all the life of the Solar System of Ors intensely pulses.

The gravitational force of the sun keeps the whole solar family within its mechanical orbits.

All the mechanics of the Solar System of Ors proceeds according to the great law; the concentrated orbits of the planets that rotate, dancing around the sun amid the great symphonies of the cosmic diapason, are wisely related according to Bode’s Law.

Taking the geometric progression 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, 192, and adding 4 to each number, we obtain a series that more or less represents the distances between the planetary orbits and the Sun.

Mercury, the lord of science, the messenger of the gods, moves around the Sun with dizzying rapidity. Venus, the star of music, love, and beauty, in second place in relation to the Sun, moves a little more slowly; and the Earth, our poor afflicted and martyred Earth, which is in third place, moves under the wise direction of Changam or Melchizedek in still slower form.

Our beloved Solar System of Ors has as a neighbor the solar system called Baleooto.

The famous comet Solni from time to time approaches too closely and dangerously to the resplendent Sun Baleooto; then this latter has many times been obliged to develop a very strong electrical tension in order to be able to maintain its customary cosmic path firmly.

This tension, as is very natural and logical, provokes identical tension in all the neighboring suns, among which is found our Sun called Ors.

This is the law of the Solioonensius, which also affects the planets that rotate around their corresponding suns.

The earth cannot be an exception to this law of the Solioonensius. The terrible electrical tension provokes bloody revolutions and frightful catastrophes.

Twice the Solioonensius manifested itself in ancient Egypt of the Pharaohs. In the first, the people in bloody revolution elected new governors through blood and death. From all the governors of the outgoing class they tore out the eyes.

In the second manifestation of this cosmic law, the Egyptian people, fearfully enraged, rose up against their governors and killed them by piercing the body of each with a sacred cable; that cable was then cast into the Nile. That cable seemed rather like a gigantic macabre necklace.

The Bolshevik revolution was also the result of the Solioonensius. In the past, each time the law of the Solioonensius manifested itself, there were great social catastrophes.

Understanding human beings take advantage of the laws of the Solioonensius to enter the path of intimate realization.

The solar system of Ors, seen from afar, appears like a human being walking through the unalterable infinite.

Let us remember that the moment of reception of a comparable being who looks toward the Sun is of eighty years.

Astronomers assure us that our solar system of Ors is heading toward the star Vega at the rate of twenty kilometers per second.

The concrete fact is that, in eighty years, leaving behind it the sun’s whole brilliant radiation of its marvelous system, it advances victorious, in the sacred space, approximately 50,000,000,000 km (fifty billion kilometers).

The sphere of radiation, the band of fire, or the long and resplendent body of our solar system, in eighty years, is a figure five times longer than wide and beautifully proportioned like the standing human body.

The attraction exercised by the Sun governs all the movements of the solar family; and the closer the various planets are to it, it is clear that the greater must be the velocity to counteract energetically the tremendous force of solar action.

The planets that compose the solar cosmic family vary in size among themselves, growing in general from the smallest, the swift Mercury, the messenger of the Gods, which is closest to the center, to the powerful Thundering Jupiter, the Father of the Gods, midway between the center and the circumference, and then decreasing again to the outermost known planet, Pluto, which is somewhat larger than the swift Mercury.

After many years of observation and experience, it has been possible to verify that the more remote the planets, the slower, beyond all doubt, are their velocities around the Christ Sun; truly these velocities diminish from the fifty kilometers per second of Mercury, to the five of Neptune, the lord of Occult Wisdom, the king of the sea.

The axis of the Solar System of Ors — that is, the Sun itself — makes its rotation around an interstellar magnetic center or cosmic Chakra. Such rotation is accomplished in one month.

The swift Mercury, the celestial messenger, makes his rotation around the king star in three months.

Venus performs her dance around the Sun in eight months. The Earth makes her journey around the Sun in twelve months.

The marvelous dance of Neptune, king of the sea, around the Sun, is one hundred sixty-four years.

The cosmic figure of the Solar System of Ors is extraordinarily complex and beautiful.

The planetary pieces, converted into multiple spirals of various tensions and diameters, resemble a resplendent series of divine coverings that overshadow the long, hot, white filament of the Sun of Ors. Each one radiating resplendently with its own characteristic heat and brilliance; the marvelous combined whole is like a mysterious and sublime net of spider’s web, splendidly woven with the multiple eccentric trajectories of thousands of asteroids and comets with long manes, resplendent with breaths of fire and tinkling with an incredibly subtle and harmonious music, totally based upon the three beats of the Mahavan and Chotavan that uphold the Universe firm in its march.

Truly the Solar System of Ors is a living cosmic creature that was born many millions of years ago in the ninth sphere (sex).

All human beings are similar in design and constitution; in like manner it occurs with all the suns of infinite space.

What distinguishes human beings from one another is their degree of consciousness; what distinguishes the suns is their degree of radiation.

Light and Consciousness are at bottom one and the same phenomenon. Light and Consciousness obey the same laws, increasing or diminishing in exactly the same form.

In the Chaos, in the Universal Sperm, lies the cosmic design of the human being and of the Suns.

The self-development of the cosmos-human-being, or of the Solar System, the gradual illumination and radiation of one or the other, is the degree of self-generated Consciousness of any Cosmic Sun, or of any cosmic human being. It depends totally on the individual being itself.

For a human being to be fully conscious of himself, all his parts must become fully conscious.

For a Sun to become fully radiant, all its planets, its cosmic organs, must be fully radiant.

The task of every Universe and of every Being, from the gigantic Sun to the insignificant cell, is to awaken consciousness.

The Solar System of Ors will become more resplendent as each of its worlds, as each person, each living cell, awakens consciousness.

All human beings of planet Earth have their consciousness asleep. It is impossible to experience that which is the Truth while consciousness is totally asleep.

There exist four states of consciousness:

First: Sleep during the waking state.

Second: Sleep during those moments when the physical body sleeps.

Third: Self-consciousness.

Fourth: Awakened objective consciousness.

Normally people live in the first two states of consciousness. People do not only dream when the physical body is at rest; people continue dreaming in the so-called waking state.

Very rare is it to find some conscious human being, but people firmly believe that they already have consciousness awake.

It is impossible to arrive at objective knowledge while self-consciousness has not been attained.

People live dreaming, work dreaming, and yet mistakenly believe that they are awake.

During the normal sleep of the physical body, the ego, enveloped in its body of desires, wanders through the molecular region like a sleepwalker, dreaming; and on returning to the physical body, on returning to the waking state, the dreams continue within the individual.

Whoever awakens consciousness no longer dreams; he lives awake in the internal worlds while his physical body sleeps.

As people gradually awaken consciousness, the Solar System of Ors will become more and more resplendent.

The Solar System of Ors is the Adam Kadmon, the Celestial Human Being born of water and fire in the ninth sphere (sex).

The Solar System of Ors, the Cosmic Human Being, needs to self-awaken totally in the cell and in the human being in order to become ever more and more resplendent.

Chapter IV

Every master of the White Lodge can visit in Astral Body the heart-temple of planet Earth.

Chapter Four: ATOMIC SCIENCE

The solar system of Ors, in which we live, move, and have our Being, turns out to be, at bottom, a great Molecule that develops and unfolds within that vibrant and spiral organism of the Milky Way.

The different scientific conceptions about atoms are, at bottom, exclusively provisional. Atomic fission in no way signifies absolute knowledge about the structure of the atom, or about the complex intimate mechanism of molecules, subatomic corpuscles, and electrons.

The Saturnian conception of atomic structure is very empirical; every scientific or suprascientific opinion turns out to be too relative and unstable.

We Gnostics emphatically affirm that, besides protons, electrons, neutrons, etc., there exist many other corpuscles still unknown to official science.

Within the atomic nucleus exists a formidable structure absolutely unknown to official science.

Scientists already split the atom to liberate nuclear energy, but truly they know nothing about the intimate intra-corpuscular structure of the electron.

In the light of the new culture initiated in the world by the Gnostic Movement, we can consider the electron as a primordial crystallization of what the Hindustanis call Akasha, the raw material of the Great Work, the single substance from which derive, by chained crystallizations, the multiple substances, the different elements of Nature.

The electron is, beyond all doubt, an extraordinary primordial crystallization of supra-atomic character.

Every atom, every electron, has its origin in the living bosom of pure Akasha, the primordial substance, the Mulaprakriti of the Hindustanis, the Chaos, the Universal Seminal Waters of Genesis, the eternal feminine, symbolized by all the feminine deities of the ancient religions, the Great Mother — Isis, Adonia, Insoberta, Rhea, Cybele, Vesta, Mary, Tonantzin, etc.

This primordial substance, this Akasha, this raw material of the Great Work, is, beyond all doubt, the Divine Mother, Isis, the adorable virgin of all ancient religions, always full of grace.

The Father, the First Logos, deposited in her all the grace of his wisdom. The Son, the Second Logos, deposited in her all the grace of his love. The Holy Spirit, the Third Logos, deposited in her all the grace of his fiery power.

Truly in the Universe there exists only a single basic substance which, when it crystallizes, receives the name of Matter, and when it does not crystallize, when it remains in its fundamental state, receives the name of Universal Spirit of Life.

She initiates her processes of condensation or crystallization when the Third Logos, by means of the sexual connubium of the word, makes her fecund with the flaming fire.

She remains in her insipid, unsubstantial, odorless state during the cosmic night, during the great Pralaya, when the Universe that existed no longer exists.

When the Fire makes her fecund, the Cosmic Christ, the Second Logos, penetrates into her womb, the great womb, and is born of her and in her to be crucified in the worlds; for this reason she is always represented with the child in her arms. She is Isis with the child Horus in her arms; she is Mary with the child God in her arms, etc.

In the fecund womb of the Great Mother are originated, under the impulse of the Third Logos, many fields of force where the waves of what we may call pre-matter condense into corpuscles.

Modern scientists know nothing about the mystery of the atomic nucleus, which is considered to be formed by protons and neutrons; they know nothing precise about the nuclear forces.

All planetary material is scientifically constituted of marvelous atoms; beyond all doubt, these are the smallest particles of the elements.

Every atom is a true Universe in miniature. Every atom is a trio of matter, energy, and consciousness.

The atom is constituted by a very radiant nucleus or sun positively charged with electricity, around which dance happily the infinitesimal planetary electrons, negatively charged.

The atomic nucleus is similar in all the materials, as is the electron also, the elements varying among themselves only by the number of electrons subordinated to the nucleus, and by corresponding variations in their charge.

The atom is an entire solar system in miniature. Exactly what the Sun is to the solar system, and the fecundated egg to the human body, is the atomic nucleus with respect to the entire atomic Universe.

We have been told that the diameter of the atomic nucleus may be about ten-thousandths of the whole atom.

And like Jupiter to the sun, we are told that its electrons can measure one tenth of the diameter of its nucleus; so that, on their own scale, they circulate in an immensity of space as gigantic and profound as that which encompasses in its totality the planet Earth and the other planets of the Solar System of Ors.

Nature has many elements, and these are now cataloged according to the number of electrons from 1 to 96. Hydrogen, with one electron, has atomic number 1; helium, with two electrons, 2; etc. With only two exceptions, the elements developed within the womb of the Great Mother turn out to be, at bottom, different crystallizations of the primordial substance.

There exist in Nature seven fundamental categories of density among the various elements.

Each element is sexually attracted by that which possesses the complementary number of electrons, in the marvelous manner by which sodium, with one extra electron, inclines itself sexually toward chlorine, which lacks one, to form salt.

Here we have sex… Here we have the male and the female of the elements of Nature uniting themselves sexually.

The positive metal is irresistibly impelled to combine sexually with the negative metalloid, in exact proportion to its contrast. This is an extraordinary Platonic parallelism of the twin souls, who seek their complementary half from which they were separated in the first creation.

The active element in the Sun Christ is, beyond all doubt, hydrogen in infinite quantity.

The hydrogen atom possesses a single electron that revolves around its basic nucleus.

The hydrogen atom is found at the frontier between matter in molecular state and matter in electronic state. The next state of subtilization of hydrogen corresponds to free electrons, light, magnetic waves, spiritual state.

To create one atom of helium and two rays of sun, one must consume four atoms of hydrogen.

The sexual energy of the Third Logos flows overwhelmingly from the center of every atom and of every Galaxy and of every Solar System, uniting opposite poles for new creations.

The atoms of hydrogen complement themselves with the atoms of carbon to initiate the development of light.

The masculine atoms of hydrogen, with a single electron, bombard the feminine atoms of carbon, with six electrons, to give rise to the atoms of nitrogen with seven electrons.

The atoms of nitrogen, on uniting themselves sexually with new atoms of hydrogen, become atoms of light oxygen. When an atom of light oxygen is at its fullness, a free electron and a certain quantity of radiant energy escape from it.

After this the result is a heavy atom of nitrogen which is again bombarded sexually by hydrogen; however, this time a different result is obtained. The very atom of hydrogen captures one of the electrons of the nitrogen to form an atom of helium with two electrons, while the atom of seven electrons of nitrogen is reduced to the atom of six electrons of carbon with which we began, because the end is always equal to the beginning plus the experience of the cycle. That is the law.

Thus this sexual cycle of carbon is closed. Solar light is sexually gestated in the ninth sphere (sex).

The great solar light is the chemical and mathematical result of the different atomic sexual processes of carbon.

The atoms of hydrogen come to constitute a bridge between the universal spirit of life and matter of different densities.

The splitting of the atom, the nuclear explosions, liberate submerged abysmal matter, new atomic elements terribly malignant: Neptunium (93), Plutonium (94), Americium (95), and Curium (96).

This infernal type of terribly malignant atomic substances escape from the abyss with the atomic explosions, and attract to the surface of the Earth and to the mentality of people certain psychological characteristics, frightfully monstrous.

The disintegration of the atom is a blasphemy, a scientific folly that not only brings physical damage to this afflicted world, but also psychic mental monstrosities, frightful abominations of an infla-infernal type, etc.

If the human being would study solar energy better and learn to use it intelligently, liquid fuel would be eliminated and the conquest of space would be a fact, on the condition of right conduct.

Where a ray of solar light can reach, the human being can reach.

Solar energy is millions of times more potent than atomic energy.

This great molecule, this Solar System of Ors, functions marvelously thanks to the terrible potential of solar energy.

Chapter V

Chapter Five: THE NINTH SPHERE

The earth is a marvelous organism full of intense cosmic vitality. On the surface of the earth there exist formidable rocks where the Gnomes happily dwell, earth and sand.

The interior of the planetary organism is unknown to official science; truly it is very little that scientists know about the interior of our world.

It is said that the temperature gradually increases according to the depth, in proportion of 1°C.

The waves produced by earthquakes within the interior of the planetary organism behave as if they were penetrating into the liquid element, but as if they were crossing a solid when they propagate closer to the surface.

The surface layer seems to be a crust of fifty to sixty kilometers in depth. Upon this marvelous crust are found the minerals, soils, sand, and water.

Beneath this formidable crust, upon which all the history of humanity has developed, there exists another layer 3,500 meters thick, composed of magnesium, oxygen, and silicon combined in another form of solid rock.

For now scientists can know nothing about the nucleus of the earth; they only opine that its density and temperature are very high, and that it measures approximately 6,500 kilometers in diameter.

From the esoteric point of view, the earth has nine strata, and in the ninth is found the symbol of the infinite.

It is necessary to know that the sacred symbol of the infinite is found in the heart of the earth, in its living nucleus, and has the form of an eight placed horizontally.

In the Holy Eight, in the symbol of the infinite, are placed symbolically the brain, heart, and sex of the genius of the Earth.

The two opposite circles of the Holy Eight represent the brain and sex. The center of the Holy Eight is the symbolic seat of the heart.

The struggle is terrible: brain against sex, sex against brain, and what is even more terrible and bitter is that of heart against heart.

All organized beings who live upon the surface of the Earth are structured in accordance with this symbol.

At the center of the Holy Eight, there exists a central atom around which gravitate the twelve spheres of cosmic vibration among which a Solar Humanity must develop.

Nine months the fetus remains within the maternal womb, and nine ages are necessary for the planetary humanity to be born.

The ninth sphere is sex. In the ninth sphere are found the fire and the water, origin of worlds, beasts, humans, and Gods. Every authentic white initiation begins there.

In the ninth sphere is found the lighted forge of Vulcan; there Mars descends to retemper his sword and conquer the heart of Venus, Hermes to clean the stables of Augeas, and Perseus to cut off the head of the medusa with his flaming sword.

From ancient times, the descent into the ninth sphere was the supreme test for the Hierophant’s supreme dignity — Buddha, Hermes, Jesus, Krishna, Dante, Zoroaster, Quetzalcoatl, Mohammed, Moses, etc.

The symbol of the infinite is an esoteric symbol that can only be known through esotericism.

The great initiates say that this symbol is wrought in pure gold and that it is found exactly at the center of the Earth, in the Ninth Sphere.

Truly within the living Earth there exist the greatest splendors and the thickest darkness.

We must understand the three aspects of the interior of the Earth:

First aspect: Minerals, water, fire, etc.

Second aspect: Ultraviolet esoteric zone.

Third aspect: Infrared tenebrous zone.

The subterranean layers of the Earth represent the kingdom of the minerals (the Lithosphere) and the kingdom of the metals (the Barysphere), which enclose a heart of incredible density and inertia.

In dimensions of superior space within the planetary organism, there exist nine higher concentric spheres in the manner of sublime ineffable regions, populated by elemental creatures, Masters, Devas, etc.

In dimensions of inferior submerged infrared space, there exist, in the manner of concentric spheres, the infernal worlds of increasing density which led, according to Dante:

“Toward the middle, at which point all heavy substances unite themselves… That point, toward which from all sides every heavy substance is dragged.”

This is the center of the heart of the Earth where the maximum of density and gravity is found — the fundamental seat of Satan, the inferno.

Where the light shines brightest, there too the darkness is thickest; that is the law of the analogies of contraries.

At the center of the heart of the Earth is the seat of Satan and the temple of the genius of the Earth, the symbol of the infinite, and the angels and the demons in eternal battle.

The nucleus of the Earth has within itself three aspects. First: Physical. Second: Ultraviolet regions. Third: Infrared regions.

The Ninth Sphere (sex), at the center of the Earth and in the human being, is the battlefield between the powers of light and the powers of darkness.

The secret key that allows us to enter the ninth sphere is the Arcanum A.Z.F., the Sahaja Maithuna.

Let us remember that the symbols of Shiva, the Third Logos, are always the black Lingam embedded in the Yoni.

The important thing is not to ejaculate the ENS SEMINIS during the sexual trance, because within the ENS SEMINIS is found all the ENS VIRTUTIS of fire.

The Arcanum A.Z.F. is the key that allows us to open the ninth gate.

Chapter VI

It is necessary to know that the sacred symbol of the infinite is found in the heart of the earth, in its living nucleus, and has the form of an eight placed horizontally.

Chapter Six: SEXUAL ENERGY

Sex has a cycle of 84 years and is governed by the planet Uranus. The north and south poles of the planet Uranus alternate cyclically in pointing toward the Sun.

Such poles are the determining factors of the marvelous cycle of 84 years in the human species.

If the masculine positive pole of Uranus points toward the Sun, the masculine sexual impulse predominates upon the Earth.

If the feminine negative pole of Uranus points toward the Sun, the feminine sexual impulse predominates upon the Earth.

During 42 years the masculine sex has predominance; during 42 years the feminine sex reigns supreme.

The history of piracy, the age of Elizabeth, of masculine display, chivalric adventures, clearly represent the masculine sexual cycle.

This year 1965, in which women undress themselves, predominate, command, accuse, clearly indicates the feminine sexual cycle.

The man or the woman of mature age live in fact in the sexual atmosphere opposite to that of birth; such atmosphere is in fact totally stimulating. This explains with complete exactness why sexual feelings are often more vigorous and rich at forty than at thirty.

Sex in itself should be the most elevated creative function; unfortunately, ignorance reigns supreme, and humanity is far from understanding the great mysteries of sex.

If we study the book of the heavens, the marvelous zodiac, we can understand that the new Era of Aquarius is governed by the zodiacal sign of Aquarius, the water bearer.

The symbol of Aquarius is a woman with two pitchers full of water; she tries to intelligently mix the waters of the two pitchers.

This symbol comes to remind us of sexual alchemy. If in Pisces the human being was only a slave to the sexual instinct symbolized by the two fish between the waters of life, in Aquarius the human being must learn to intelligently combine the waters of existence, must learn to transmute sexual forces.

Aquarius is governed by Uranus, the planet that governs the sexual functions.

It is incongruous and absurd that some isolated individuals and certain schools of the pseudo-esoteric type reject the Maithuna (Sexual Magic) and yet have the pretension of being supposedly initiators of the New Era.

Uranus is one hundred percent sexual, and in the new Era governed by this planet, the human being must deeply know the mysteries of sex.

To reject the Maithuna (Sexual Magic) means in fact to declare oneself against the sign of Aquarius, governed by Uranus, king of sex.

It should be remembered that the most subtle, most powerful, most refined energy produced and marvelously conducted through the human organism is the sexual energy.

Analyzing deeply the astonishing power of the sexual energy, we arrive at the conclusion that it is extraordinarily volatile and very difficult to store and control.

Sexual energy is like a deposit of dynamite; its presence signifies a formidable source of tremendous potentiality and also a constant danger of catastrophic explosion.

Sexual energy has its own channels of circulation, its own organized electrical system.

When sexual energy infiltrates the mechanism of other functions, it can then produce great explosions, tremendous biological, physiological, and psychic catastrophes.

The violent and destructive manifestations of sexual energy derive from certain negative psychological attitudes toward sex in general.

Suspicion, fear of sex, sexual prejudices, the cynical, brutal, or obscene sense of sex, etc., obstruct the channels through which sexual energy circulates, and then it is diverted, infiltrating into other channels, systems, and functions, where it produces frightful catastrophes.

The aspect of such catastrophes is usually multifaceted. Sometimes it has aspects of fire that flames with impassioned anger; other times the bitterness of harmful retort, words that wound, violent denunciations, etc.

All of this and thousands of disgusting matters of the human species are due precisely to the infiltration of sexual energy into different channels and functions.

Persons who squander sexual energy in morbid sexual conversations, or watching pornographic films, or reading dishonest novels, become impotent.

Persons who miserably waste time reasoning about the sexual act without fulfilling their sexual functions become impotent; when, truly, beyond all reasoning, they go to perform the sexual act, they cannot, they fail.

Imagination and reason badly used can lead us to psychosexual impotence.

Morbid imagination, the bad use of imagination, finishes off sexual energy; and when the individual goes to perform the act, he fails, he is impotent.

Excessive reasoning about sex leads to impotence; the one who only lives analyzing the sexual act without performing it, when he truly is going to perform it, must pass through the tremendous surprise that he cannot — he is impotent.

On reaching this part of the present chapter, our readers should not be frightened. Studying the mysteries of sex is urgent, but abusing sexual reasoning, excluding the sexual act for very long indefinite time, produces psychosexual impotence.

There exists sub-imagination and infra-imagination. Any person can, if he so wishes, contemplate with purity another person of the opposite sex; but sub-imagination and infra-imagination can betray us in the submerged levels of the mind and lead us to coitus in other states of consciousness; the result is usually nocturnal pollutions with abundant loss of the seminal liquor.

Constantly there arrive at this Patriarchal Headquarters of the Gnostic Movement, in Mexico City, many letters from persons who complain of having erotic dreams accompanied by nocturnal pollutions.

We always reply, advising those persons the Maithuna, the Sexual Magic, A.Z.F. (sexual union without ejaculation of the semen), as the only remedy against nocturnal pollutions.

It is clear that with daily Maithuna the human being becomes accustomed to refraining from the sexual act so as not to spill the semen; the result is that the subject becomes so accustomed to this super-effort that, when in dreams he performs the act, then out of habit, by instinct, he refrains in order to avoid the spilling of the seminal liquor; then the pollution does not occur.

Sex and imagination are intimately associated. It is impossible to attain absolute chastity if we do not transform the imagination into a pure mirror without the slightest stain.

It is urgent to transform mechanistic and morbid sub-imagination, and automatic and lustful infra-imagination, into the imagination of a newborn child.

This type of transformation is only possible with a special help from the Divine Mother Kundalini, the fiery serpent of our magical powers.

It is necessary to know how to pray, how to beseech the divine serpent, asking her for the miracle of transforming the subjective and mechanical imagination into the imagination of a newborn child.

Only she, the Divine Mother, the sacred serpent, can transform morbid sub-imagination and bestial infra-imagination into the innocent imagination of a newborn child.

A small child can contemplate a beautiful naked woman in pure and perfect form, without feeling the slightest lust. Truly, until we become like an innocent child it is impossible to enter the kingdom of esotericism.

In the physical world some persons have attained perfect chastity, and can have the luxury of contemplating the naked body of another person of the opposite sex without feeling lust of any kind.

It is clear that such exceptional persons believe they have arrived at absolute chastity in the other subconscious territories of the mind, without suspecting in the slightest that sub-imagination and infra-imagination, subjective and mechanistic, betray them below the limits of the intellectual sphere.

That type of exceptional persons may have pure imagination, but they ignore that sub-imagination and infra-imagination turn out to be frightfully fornicating in terrains unknown to their reason and to their intellect.

When those kinds of people are subjected to tests of chastity in the superior worlds or in the submerged worlds of nature — when they are placed in situational states and times different from the infraconscious or subconscious type — they lamentably fail.

Many persons write to us asking for a remedy for nocturnal pollutions; we always answer those sick ones by prescribing Sexual Magic, the Maithuna.

Those who become accustomed to refrain from the sexual act so as not to ejaculate the seminal liquor are cured of nocturnal pollutions.

Morbid, lustful dreams are due to mechanical sub-imagination and to infra-imagination of the erotic and automatic type.

If we set in motion the mechanism of a television screen, many scenes, pictures, figures occur automatically before the eyes of the viewer.

Imagination is like a television screen; any sexual shock sets it in motion, not only in the intellectual sphere, but also in the other submerged territories of the mind.

Any dreamer in the internal worlds can be affected by representations of the morbid type. Such representations produce erotic dreams and nocturnal pollutions.

If the dreamer is accustomed to refraining from the sexual act, in this case there will exist the erotic dream, but not the nocturnal pollutions.

If the dreamer has transformed sub-imagination and infra-imagination into the imagination of an innocent child, then erotic dreams become impossible; these disappear in a radical, total, and definitive form.

If any Esoteric student were subjected to frightful sexual tests in the internal worlds, without having first passed through very long periods of daily sexual magic, it is clear that he would lamentably fail, losing his seminal liquor in nocturnal pollutions.

Without Sexual Magic, without the Maithuna, A.Z.F., it is impossible to advance on the Initiatic path.

When sexual energy is centrifugal, when it flows from within outward, the result is the seminal discharges, the nocturnal pollutions.

With the Maithuna, Arcanum A.Z.F., Sexual Magic, the different currents of sexual energy invert their course, becoming centripetal; they then flow from without inward.

Seminal discharges, nocturnal pollutions, become totally impossible when sexual energy flows from the exterior toward the interior.

Sexual energy contains within itself, at a superior molecular level, the universal seal or the cosmic design of the true human being; this design we can make crystallize within each of us by means of Sexual Magic.

Whoever wishes to self-realize himself in depth must descend to the Ninth Sphere and work with fire and water, origin of worlds, beasts, humans, and Gods; every authentic white initiation begins there.

There exists an intimate relation between sexual energy and imagination. Sexual energy is the basic foundation of Intimate Self-Realization.

The Initiates who travel the path of the razor’s edge are subjected to many sexual tests in the infraconscious, unconscious, human, subhuman, infrahuman worlds.

If the initiate does not transform morbid sub-imagination and mechanical and erotic infra-imagination into the imagination of a newborn child, innocent, it is clear that he will inevitably fail in all the sexual tests.

It is necessary to know that the Initiates are placed, in the internal worlds, in other times, places, situations, and subhuman, infrahuman states of consciousness — different, distinct, diverse — where they do not even remotely remember their studies, the path, etc.

Now our readers will understand the urgent necessity of transforming sub-imagination and infra-imagination into conscious, objective, and pure imagination, like that of a newborn child.

Now our readers will understand the intimate relation that exists between sex and imagination.

Sexual energy can convert the human being into an angel or into a beast.

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, Sexual Magic, “is supposedly” 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 about all this is that such persons of the reactionary, conservative, regressive, and retardant type do not say a single word against fornication, against adultery, against prostitution, against homosexualism, sodomy, masturbation, etc., etc. All this seems to them most normal, and they have no objection whatever to miserably squandering sexual energy.

The ignorant fornicators of reactionary pseudo-occultism totally ignore the secret doctrine of the Savior of the World, Christian esotericism.

The pseudo-esoteric and pseudo-occultist reaction ignores that the primitive Christian Gnostic sects practiced the Maithuna, Sexual Magic. The Maithuna 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; the mysteries of Eleusis, the mysteries of Rome, Mithras, Carthage, Tyre, the Celtic, Phoenician, Egyptian, Druid mysteries; and in all the primitive Christian sects, such as the sect of the Essenes, who had their convent by the shores of the Dead Sea and one of whose most exalted members was 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 fundamental cornerstone of the authentic and legitimate schools of mysteries is the Maithuna, Arcanum A.Z.F., Sexual Magic.

Chapter VII

Only she, the Divine Mother, the sacred serpent, can transform morbid sub-imagination and bestial infra-imagination into the innocent imagination of a newborn child.

Chapter Seven: THE ATTRACTION OF OPPOSITES

The sexual energy of the Third Logos splendidly harmonizes all the functions of the human organism.

Sexual energy is not only perfect in itself, but also seeks perfection in all that exists.

Sexual energy produces accord and concordance between each and every specific function of the human organism.

Sexual energy works in the marvelous laboratory of the human organism with the purpose of giving it its highest potentiality and harmony.

The creative energy of the Third Logos always seeks to perfectly complete each of the marvelous physiological, psychosomatic, and spiritual functions of the human being.

The creative energy of the Third Logos complements, corrects deficiencies, and performs complete work.

If we consider the human being himself as half a being, and the woman as his other half, we arrive then by logical deduction at the loving attraction of opposites.

Souls go thirsty for love, always seeking their other half, the twin soul from which they were separated since the dawn of creation.

Always we need on the road of life another being who can fill us, who can supply with complete exactness what is missing in us, not only physiologically, but also psychosomatically and spiritually.

Each of our physical and psychic functions needs a very human complement; that is a natural necessity of every living being.

The mutual combination of elements of nature, the chemical weddings, the sexual combination of opposite elements to achieve a perfect whole, constitute the living foundation of all that is, of all that has been, and of all that shall be.

It is demonstrated that the chemical elements attract and combine lovingly according to the complementary number of electrons.

Every chemist knows very well, through observation and experience, that, since the perfect shell is constituted by a number of electrons, sodium with one extra electron joins itself sexually to chlorine, which lacks one electron.

The astonishing thing about all this, the marvelous, is that sodium with its extra electron could never in life combine with other alkalis composed in an analogous manner.

At the bottom of all those marvels, of all those prodigies of love, we find the marriage of the elements and the foundational stone upon which all chemistry rests.

Without any exaggeration we can affirm that this same principle of sexual attraction of opposites is always applicable, without any exception, to the attraction and marriage of men and women.

Every organic and psychic function always seeks to complement itself, and the sense of indifference, attraction, or repulsion between man and woman is the exact result of a subtle, extraordinarily rapid calculation performed silently.

The sexual sense, more rapid than thought, performs calculations that astonish, and knows with mathematical precision whether the person of the opposite sex before us can contain all the necessary factors of reciprocity to complement us.

Within the human organism, the different glands and their dependent systems and functions act in pairs, some controlling the masculine aspects, others controlling the feminine functions.

There exists a marvelous exchange of chemical substances between the masculine and feminine glands.

The double masculine-feminine aspect of the pituitary gland is something that astonishes.

Every scientist knows very well that the anterior lobe of the pituitary is masculine and that the posterior is feminine.

Within the human organism the masculine and feminine glands coordinate in harmonious form all the biological functions.

Venus and Mars control the pituitary and pineal glands. While Venus in the pituitary wishes to sleep, Mars in the pineal wishes to continue fighting.

In the neck this same struggle between Venus and Mars is repeated. Venus controls the thyroid, and Mars the parathyroid.

The cortex and the medulla of the adrenal glands always represent masculine and feminine counterparts that lead to struggle or to evasion.

This union of masculine-feminine sexual elements in each of the glands of the human organism is wisely symbolized in the images of Tibetan Tantrism, where each God appears accompanied by a Goddess or feminine Shakti.

The tragedies of the world are terrible, and every man and every woman, from the age of fourteen, goes seeking his sexual complement.

Any man can find in some woman his complement for a determined specific function, but the case may arise that only with another woman does he find the complement for his fundamental center of gravity.

The woman in this is not an exception, and now we better explain the tragic sexual cause of the famous triangles, which always end with divorce or with gunshots.

Only by virtue, only by fulfilling the Christian commandment of not committing adultery, do the fatal triangles cease to exist.

The ideal in love is to find the other half, the other half of the orange, the twin soul.

Only the total and perfect complement can give us inexhaustible happiness; unfortunately, this is asking too much; we do not deserve so much; all of us are full of Karma.

In the field of conjugal life we have been able to verify that sometimes the man leads and other times the woman.

In every home there is one who leads and one who is led; do not confuse this with that of commanding and being commanded.

Speaking astrologically, we shall say that Venus should lead the Moon, Mercury Venus, Saturn Mercury, Mars Saturn, Jupiter Mars, the Moon Jupiter.

It is clear that for this one must know which is the star that guides our life.

These wise combinations of the astrological type, just as we give them here, signify mutual attraction and perfect sexual complement.

Any other type of sexual unions outside this order turn out to be absurd and even illegitimate, because they violate the sexual nature of those concerned, leaving them deep psychic wounds, very difficult to heal.

The Mercurial man who adores the beautiful Venusian for the love and sweetness she radiates, can pull her from her romantic laziness and give her the Mercurial lightness she needs.

The Jupiterian woman, madly in love with the Martian man, can extinguish his violence and channel his energy in an edifying form.

The attraction of opposites has its origin in a divine, Ineffable cosmic model.

The Lunar type always tends to move toward the Venusian, the Venusian type moves toward the Mercurial, the Mercurial type moves toward the Saturnine, the Saturnine type moves toward the Martian, the Martian type moves toward the Jupiterian, and the Jupiterian type turns toward the Lunar.

On this base of marvelous cosmic combinations, the human types can combine to establish upon the face of the Earth the Perfect Matrimony.

The Gnostic couples, working intensively in the Lighted Forge of Vulcan, within the Ninth Sphere (sex), can, by means of the Maithuna (sexual magic), gain what the enemy of sex cannot gain, even though he declare himself vegetarian and torture himself throughout his life leading the life of a hermit.

In sex is found the greatest force that can liberate or enslave the human being.

Chapter VIII

Only by virtue, only by fulfilling the Christian commandment of not committing adultery, do the fatal triangles cease to exist.

Chapter Eight: SEXUAL HYDROGEN SI-12

It is urgent to know that in the Universe there exist twelve fundamental basic hydrogens.

The twelve basic hydrogens are graded according to the twelve categories of matter.

The twelve categories of matter exist in all that is created; let us remember the twelve salts of the zodiac, the twelve spheres of cosmic vibration within which a solar humanity must unfold.

From the twelve basic hydrogens are derived all the secondary hydrogens whose varied densities range from 6 to 12,283.

The term hydrogen has in Gnosticism a very extensive meaning. Any simple element is truly a hydrogen of a certain density.

Hydrogen 384 is found in water, 192 in air, 96 is wisely deposited in animal magnetism, emanations of the human body, X-rays, hormones, vitamins, etc., etc., etc.

The brothers of Gnosis are already very familiar with the hydrogens 48-24-12-6, because we have studied them in our past Christmas Messages.

Hydrogen 48 corresponds to Chlorine, Cl, atomic weight 35; hydrogen 24 corresponds to Fluorine, Fl, atomic weight 19; hydrogen corresponds to the hydrogen of chemistry, atomic weight 1.

Carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen have atomic weights of 12, 14, and 16. Hydrogen 96 corresponds to bromine, atomic weight 80; hydrogen 192 corresponds to iodine, atomic weight 127.

This most interesting subject of the hydrogens pertains to the branch of occult chemistry or Gnostic chemistry, and since it is too difficult, for the good of our students we prefer to study it gradually, in each of our Christmas messages.

Let us now turn to study the famous sexual hydrogen SI-12, the marvelous creative hydrogen that is wisely elaborated in the factory of the human organism.

The passive food on the plate passes within the human organism through many transformations, refinements, and subtilizations that are processed within the musical scale DO, RE, MI, FA, SOL, LA, SI.

The passive food on the plate begins with the note DO; the chyme resulting from the first stage of transformation continues with the note RE; the very refined food that passes osmotically into the bloodstream continues with the note MI; and so on the processes continue until the best of all the organism is elaborated — the marvelous elixir, the seminal liquor, with its hydrogen 12 in the note SI.

The sexual hydrogen SI-12 is found in the SEMEN; it is the creative power of the Third Logos.

The first musical octave, DO-RE-MI-FA-SOL-LA-SI, corresponds exactly to the manufacture of the sexual hydrogen SI-12 within the human organism.

A very special shock by means of the Maithuna (Sexual Magic) allows the sexual hydrogen SI-12 to pass to a second musical octave, DO-RE-MI-FA-SOL-LA-SI, whose result is the crystallization of the sexual hydrogen SI-12 in the extraordinary form of the Astral Body.

This is what is called transmuting lead into gold.

It is urgent to transmute flesh and blood into the Astral Body.

A second shock by means of the Maithuna (Sexual Magic) allows the sexual hydrogen SI-12 to pass to a third musical octave DO-RE-MI-FA-SOL-LA-SI, whose result is the crystallization of the sexual hydrogen SI-12 in the extraordinary form of the Mental Body (body of paradise).

A third shock by means of the Maithuna (Sexual Magic) allows the hydrogen SI-12 to pass to a fourth musical octave DO-RE-MI-FA-SOL-LA-SI, whose result is the crystallization of the sexual hydrogen SI-12 in the magnificent form of the Body of Conscious Will or Causal Body.

The sexual hydrogen SI-12 is seed or fruit, and the astonishing thing is that it always crystallizes in organisms of flesh and bone. Let us remember that the physical body is the result of the sexual hydrogen SI-12.

The Astral Body is also the result of the special act Maithuna (union of the Phallus and the Womb without spilling the semen).

The Astral Body is a body of flesh and bone, flesh which does not come from Adam, but flesh, product of the sexual hydrogen SI-12.

The true Mental Body is the product of the Maithuna (Sexual Magic) and of the sexual hydrogen SI-12. This is the body of paradise, a body of perfection, a body of flesh and bone, but flesh that does not come from Adam.

The Body of Conscious Will, also called Causal Body, also turns out to be the result of the sexual act Maithuna without spilling the semen.

The Body of Conscious Will or Causal Body results from the crystallization of the hydrogen SI-12.

The authentic Astral, the true Mental, the legitimate Causal, are the Solar Bodies, the Superior Existential Bodies of the Being.

Whoever fabricates in the Ninth Sphere the Superior Existential Bodies of the Being, the Solar Bodies, can and has all the right to incarnate his Real Being, his immortal triune spirit — Atman-Buddhi-Manas, or Divine Spirit, Spirit of Life, and human Spirit (Innermost — Spiritual Soul — Human Soul).

Then, upon arriving at these Initiatic heights, it is said that a new human being has been born, the Son of Man, a new Master of the Day, a Master of the Mahamanvantara.

The physical body is sustained with hydrogen 48; the surplus of this hydrogen is converted into hydrogen 24, with which the Astral Body is nourished.

The surplus of hydrogen 24 is converted into hydrogen 12 (do not confuse this with the sexual hydrogen SI-12). Hydrogen 12 serves to nourish the Mental Body.

The surplus of hydrogen 12 is converted into hydrogen 6, with which the Body of Conscious Will or authentic Causal Body is nourished.

The creation of the Solar Bodies is a question of the Maithuna, Sexual Magic, without spilling the semen, and is performed in the Lighted Forge of Vulcan, in the Ninth Sphere (sex). This is a labor more bitter than gall: twenty or thirty years of daily sexual connection with a single woman and without ever spilling a single drop of semen, without permitting the semen to leave the organism.

The Twice-Born — he who is Born in the superior worlds as a Master of the Mahamanvantara, who leaves the Ninth Sphere because he has completed his work — can never return to the Ninth Sphere, because this would be a crime, similar to the son who, after having been born, would seek to enter again into his mother’s womb.

The Twice-Born is a child of Mother Kundalini, and if he wishes to progress he must love his Divine Mother; he must never forget his Mother.

The Twice-Born is prohibited from the sexual act for all eternity, and must attain absolute chastity in all the territories of the mind.

Chapter IX

Then, upon arriving at these Initiatic heights, it is said that a new human being has been born, the Son of Man, a new Master of the Day, a Master of the Mahamanvantara.

Chapter Nine: THE LUNAR BODIES

All very esoteric and very occultist schools base their studies on the Theosophical Septenary which we give below:

THEOSOPHICAL SEPTENARY:

ATMAN (the Innermost).

BUDDHI (the Spiritual Soul).

MANAS SUPERIOR (Human Soul).

MANAS INFERIOR (Mental Body).

KAMAS (Body of Desires or Astral).

LINGAM SARIRA (Vital Body).

STHULA SARIRA (the Physical Body).

Atman is the Lord, the Innermost; Buddhi is the Spiritual Soul. Manas Superior is the Human Soul.

The Innermost, the Lord, has two souls: the first is the Spiritual Soul (Buddhi); the second is the Human Soul (Manas Superior, causal principle).

The two souls must work under the direction of the Lord, but this is only possible in the Masters; while the Human Soul works, the Spiritual Soul plays.

The Spiritual Soul is feminine and the Human Soul is masculine. In the Masters the Spiritual Soul is usually pregnant with fruits that, when they are born, must be elaborated by the Human Soul.

People feel very proud of their mental body, because with it we reason, discuss, plan, etc.; but this mental body is one hundred percent lunar, and all animals have it in a residual state.

People live in the world of animal passions and take pleasure in passional desires, because the emotional vehicle we possess is merely a lunar animal body of beastly desires.

The vital body is the four-dimensional body, the Lingam Sarira of the Hindustanis, the living foundation of all physical, chemical, caloric, perceptive activities, etc.

Truly the vital body is merely the superior section of the physical body, the four-dimensional part of the physical body.

Within the mental and desire vehicles, many clairvoyants are wont to see a beautiful creature of electric blue color, very beautiful, which they easily confuse with the Human Soul or Body of Conscious Will (Causal Body).

Truly, the intellectual animal does not yet have a Causal Body. The beautiful blue creature that clairvoyants see within the lunar vehicles is that which in Zen Buddhism is called Buddhata, the essence, a fraction of the sacred Human Soul… within us.

No intellectual animal has a Causal Body. No intellectual animal has the immortal Triad incarnate. If anyone were to incarnate his immortal divine Triad, he would immediately cease to be intellectual animal and would become a Human Being.

Only by fabricating the Solar Bodies can we have the luxury of incarnating the immortal divine Triad — Atman-Buddhi-Manas.

If we wish to ascend, we must first descend. Only by descending to the Ninth Sphere can we fabricate the Solar Bodies in order to incarnate the immortal Triad and become Human Beings.

As of today, we are only intellectual animals. The only thing that adorns us is the intellect, but if the intellect were taken from us, we would be very useless animals, worse than orangutans and gorillas — idiotic, defenseless, bestial creatures.

Zen Buddhism considers the lunar bodies as mental forms that we must dissolve, reduce to dust.

The lunar bodies are common property of all beasts, including the intellectual beast mistakenly called man.

Only by fabricating the Solar Bodies can we have the luxury of incarnating the immortal Triad and becoming true Human Beings.

The Solar Bodies are the result of conscious work performed upon oneself.

Only by descending to the Ninth Sphere can we fabricate the Solar Bodies and incarnate the immortal Triad, to be born in the superior worlds as new Masters of the Mahamanvantara.

The intellectual animal lives during the hours of sleep and after death in the suprasensible worlds with lunar bodies. Such bodies are cold and ghostly.

The Solar Bodies are living, radiant, sublime flames. Remember that the Angels, Archangels, Masters, etc., use Solar Bodies.

The authentic Solar Astral Body is a vehicle of flesh and bone, but flesh that does not come from Adam — a body of incalculable beauty and supreme felicity.

The legitimate Solar Mental Body is the body of paradise, a body of flesh and bone, but flesh that does not come from Adam — a body of feminine, receptive nature.

The true Solar Mental Body is beyond reasoning; it is a vehicle for comprehending.

Those who possess the true Mental Body do not need to accept or reject; they comprehend, and that is all.

The authentic Solar Mental Body has three hundred thousand clans or magnetic centers, and each clan must vibrate at the same tone without any effort.

The Solar Mental Body with its three hundred thousand clans is formidable, marvelous.

The adept who possesses a fully developed Solar Mental vehicle receives and comprehends the truth from moment to moment, without the tremendous battling of thought.

The legitimate Body of Conscious Will permits the adept to have conscious immortality.

The legitimate Body of Conscious Will permits the adept to perform actions born of conscious will, permits the adept to determine circumstances.

Every Master who has been born in the superior worlds must eliminate the lunar bodies; they substitute our animal remnant that comes from the ancient times.

Ordinary disincarnate ones, clothed in their lunar bodies, seem unconscious sleepwalkers, cold, ghostly, living in the past.

The intellectual animal is one hundred percent lunar and is really not a true human being.

Only by fabricating the Solar Bodies do we become True Human Beings.

Chapter X

The two souls must work under the direction of the Lord, but this is only possible in the Masters; while the Human Soul works, the Spiritual Soul plays.

Chapter Ten: THE PLURALIZED I

The authors who affirm the existence of a permanent and immutable Ego or I are sincerely mistaken people of very good intentions.

It is urgent to know that within our lunar-animal bodies we have a pluralized I.

Each sensation, each emotion, each thought, each feeling, passion, hatred, violence, jealousy, anger, greed, lust, envy, pride, sloth, gluttony, etc., is constituted by small I’s which are in no way bound together, nor coordinated in any way.

There does not exist, there is not an integral, uni-total I, but a multitude of petty, shouting, quarrelsome I’s who fight among themselves, who battle for supremacy.

The monks of the monastery of Mount Athos love to become conscious of all these small I’s, to learn how to handle them, to pass them from one center to another, etc.

The monks kneel, and raising their arms with bent elbows, they say “Ego,” aloud and prolonging the sound, while at the same time seeking to localize the point of their organism where the word EGO (I) resounds; the purpose of this exercise is to feel the I, to pass it from one center to another at will.

The I’s that we have lodged within the lunar bodies are true demons created by ourselves.

Such an I follows automatically such another I, and some appear accompanied by others, but there is no order in any of this; there is no true unity in this; only accidental associations exist, small groups that associate themselves in an unconscious and subjective form.

Each of these small I’s only represents an infinitesimal part of the totality of our functions, but always mistakenly believes itself to be the whole.

When the intellectual animal mistakenly called man says “I,” he has the impression that he speaks of himself in his totality, but in reality only one of the small I’s of the legion is speaking.

The I that today is swearing fidelity before the altar of Gnosis believes itself to be the whole, the only one, the complete man, but it is only one of the many I’s of the legion; when this I falls from its post of command, another I that is an enemy of Gnosis occupies the place, and then the subject who seemed very enthusiastic about Gnosis turns out to be converted into an enemy, attacking our movement, our doctrine, etc.

The I that today is swearing eternal love to a woman has the impression of being the only one, the master, the complete man, and says: I adore you, I love you, I give my life for you, etc.; but when that enamored I is displaced from its post of command by another I, then we see the subject withdrawing from the woman, falling in love with another, etc.

All these small I’s are true demons that live within the lunar bodies.

All these small I’s are fabricated in the five cylinders of the machine; those five cylinders are: thought, emotion, movement, instinct, sex.

In our past Christmas message we have spoken very extensively of the five centers of the organic machine.

It is lamentable that, for lack of wisdom, human beings are fabricating in the five cylinders of the machine innumerable demons, which steal part of our consciousness and of our life.

It is also very true and beyond all doubt that sometimes there enter within the lunar bodies some demons or alien I’s created by other people; those alien I’s steal part of our consciousness, settle in any of the five cylinders of the machine, and thereby become part of our Ego (I).

Truly the intellectual animal has no true individuality, has no permanent center of gravity, nor true sense of moral responsibility.

The only thing of value, the only important thing we have within our lunar bodies is the Buddhata, the sacred essence, the psychic material that, unfortunately, is squandered by the different entities that, as a whole, constitute the ego, the pluralized I.

Many pseudo-occultist and pseudo-esoteric schools divide the I into two; they emphatically assure that we have a superior, divine, immortal I, and they believe that this superior I or divine ego must control and dominate totally the inferior I.

This concept is totally false, because superior or inferior are two sections of one and the same thing.

The I loves to divide itself between superior and inferior. The I likes to think that one part of itself is divine, eternal, immortal. The I likes to be praised, to be rendered cult, to be placed on altars, to be deified, etc.

Truly there exists no such superior I, no such divine ego; the only thing we have within the lunar bodies is the essence and the legion of the I — that is all.

Atman, the Being, has nothing to do with any type of I. The Being is the Being, and is beyond any type of I.

Our real Being is impersonal, cosmic, ineffable, terribly Divine.

Unfortunately, the intellectual animal cannot incarnate his real Being (Atman-Buddhi-Manas), because he has only lunar bodies, and these latter would not resist the tremendous electrical voltage of our true Being; we would die.

The demons that inhabit among the lunar bodies are not imprisoned within those animal bodies; normally they enter and exit, travel to different places, or wander subconscious through the different molecular regions of nature.

After death the pluralized I continues among the lunar bodies, projecting itself from them to any place in nature.

The mediums of spiritualism or spiritism lend their bodies or physical vehicles to those I’s of the dead. Such I’s, although they give proofs of their identity, although they demonstrate themselves to be the true invoked dead, are not the real Being of the deceased.

The Karma of the mediums in their later lives is epilepsy. Every epileptic subject in his past life was a spiritualist or spiritist medium.

Not all the entities that constitute the ego (I) return to this world to reincorporate or be reborn in a new organism. Some of those entities or small I’s are wont to separate from the group to enter the infernal worlds of nature or submerged mineral kingdom; others of those entities take pleasure in reincorporating themselves in organisms of the inferior animal kingdom — horses, donkeys, dogs, etc.

The Masters of the White Lodge are wont to help some distinguished dead who have sacrificed themselves for humanity.

When we set ourselves to investigate Pancho Villa, the great hero of the Mexican revolution, we found him in the infernal worlds, still obsessed with the idea of killing, threatening with his pistol all the inhabitants of the underworld.

However, this Pancho Villa of the submerged mineral kingdom is not all. The best of Pancho Villa lives in the molecular world; certainly he has not attained the intermediate liberation that permits some disincarnate ones to enjoy a vacation in the various molecular and electronic kingdoms of nature, but he remains at the threshold, awaiting the opportunity to enter a new womb.

That which is reincorporated of him who was Pancho Villa will never be the Pancho Villa of the infernal worlds, the terrible assassin, but the best of the General, those values that sacrificed themselves for humanity, those values that gave their blood for the freedom of an oppressed people.

The disincarnate General — better to say, the truly useful values of the General — will return, will be reincorporated; the great Law will pay him for his sacrifice by bringing him to the first magistracy of the nation.

We have cited General Pancho Villa as an illustration for our readers.

This man received special help due to the great sacrifice for humanity.

Nevertheless, there exist in the world persons who could not receive this help, because if all that they have of animal and criminal were taken from them, nothing would remain.

That kind of human beasts must enter into the involutions of the worlds of nature.

A certain initiate suffered unspeakably because in the infernal worlds he failed in all the tests of chastity, in spite of the fact that in the physical world he had attained perfect chastity. That initiate mortified himself, cried out, and pleaded, asking superior help from his own Mother Kundalini.

His Divine Mother helped him; she, the fiery serpent of our magical powers, prayed for him, for her son, for the initiate, and he was called to judgment before the tribunals of Karma.

The terrible lords of Karma judged him and condemned him to the abyss, to the outer darkness where only weeping and gnashing of teeth is heard.

The initiate, full of infinite terror, listened to the frightful sentence; the cosmic executioner raised the sword and directed it threateningly against the frightened brother, but he felt something moving within himself, and astonished he saw issuing from his lunar bodies a fornicating I, an entity that had been created by himself in ancient reincarnations; the perverse fornicating entity entered into the involutions of the infernal worlds, and the initiate then saw himself free of those internal bestialities that tormented him so much.

Truly, the ego is a sum of distinct, different entities. There exists no permanent and immutable I; the only thing that exists within our lunar bodies is the pluralized I (legion of devils).

Chapter XI

His Divine Mother helped him; she, the fiery serpent of our magical powers, prayed for him, for her son, for the initiate, and he was called to judgment before the tribunals of Karma.

Chapter Eleven: THE KUNDALINI

Speaking on oriental occultism, we affirm that in matters of Tantric esotericism there is much material to investigate, study, analyze.

Throughout all of Asia there exist multitudes of schools that are in agreement with the virtue of continence and the non-ejaculation of the seminal liquor; some are partisans of the system of celibacy or Brahmacharya, others of the Maithuna or moderate sexual connection without attachment, but unfortunately with orgasm and ejaculation of the precious seminal liquor.

The legitimate white Tantric schools of India, China, Tibet, Japan, etc., teach the Sahaja Maithuna (sexual magic) without spilling of the seminal liquor.

In certain very incomplete Tantric schools of India, the Sahaja Maithuna (sexual magic) is performed only one single time in life, under the direction of the Guru, who watches over the awakening of the sacred fire and intelligently orients its ascent along the medullary canal, with magnetic passes and imposition of hands.

We are informed that before performing this work of sex-yoga, both the Sadhaka and the Sadhaka pass through an intensive preparation in Hatha-yogic techniques, Mudras, Bandhas, Kriyas, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, etc.

For these Tantric Yogis, Hatha Yoga and Raja Yoga are intimately related and form a single whole.

All these yogic practices lead the yogi and yogini to the Maithuna (sexual magic); in this act, according to the information received, the Khechari Mudra and Vajroli Mudra are applied, and after the dance of Shiva and Shakti has begun, the yogi and yogini sit to meditate with their backs against each other, spine against spine, with the purpose of attaining complete mental and emotional respiratory control; then comes the sexual connection in Siddhasana or Vajra Asana, or the Yogini is raised in the air by some vestals, and the yogi connects himself with her in Urdhva-Padma-Asana, to facilitate the Urdhvaretas, and they absorb the semen, which must reach the brain.

All the information received from Hindustan says that, once the immobility of Manas, Prana, and Apana has been attained, the yogi seminizes his brain and definitively raises the Kundalini; but this practice in India is only for the Yoga-Avatars.

The Karma Kalpa of India teaches all the Asanas or sacred postures of the Maithuna; it is clear that many of those postures are of no use for the Western world, and others are too scandalous.

Normally the Hindustani yogi sits with his legs crossed in the style of the Buddha, and the Yogini sits upon the legs of the yogi, crossing hers in such a manner that the body of the yogi is wrapped between the legs of the Yogini; then comes the sexual connection, the couple withdrawing before the spasm to avoid ejaculation of the semen.

In the Middle Ages, many Gnostics practiced the Maithuna with vestal virgins, and they called this practice Virgine Subintroductus (sexual magic).

The Virgine Subintroductus with vestal virgins was formidable; it was practiced in the form of Carezza without defloration; the male and priestess lying on their sides, the sexual connection came, and the male sub-introduced with utmost care the Phallus into the part between the vaginal lips and the hymen; with time, the hymen became elastic and the introduction became deeper and deeper, and the woman continued to be a virgin; thus she never lost her virginity; she remained virgin for all of life, and with her the human being was realized, raising the Kundalini through the medullary canal.

With the Maithuna the male assimilates the woman and the woman the male, and thus arrives at the state of divine hermaphrodite of the Elohim, the Teleios Anthropos.

The best Asana or sacred posture of the Maithuna is the normal one: chest against chest, forehead against forehead, plexus against plexus, in order to form a perfect androgynism, and then man and woman withdraw from the sexual act before the orgasm and seminal ejaculation.

Reactionary pseudo-esotericism and pseudo-occultism suppose that one can awaken the Kundalini by means of Brahmacharya or forced celibacy.

All the initiates of the authentic schools of mysteries know very well by direct experience that it is impossible to attain the awakening and development of the seven degrees of power of fire without the Tantric practices.

There exist two classes of Brahmacharya (sexual abstention): solar Brahmacharya and lunar Brahmacharya.

Solar Brahmacharya is obligatory for all those who have already been born in the superior worlds with the solar bodies, for those who have already left the ninth sphere.

Lunar Brahmacharya is practiced by many sincerely mistaken people, by many ignorant ones who have never worked in the ninth sphere, who have not fabricated the solar bodies, who are without intimate self-realization.

Lunar Brahmacharya (sexual abstention) of those who have not fabricated the solar bodies turns out to be harmful, because the subject becomes charged with terrible vibrations, frightfully malignant.

By Veneniooskirian vibrations we are to understand the centrifugal lunar sexual forces. This type of tenebrous vibrations is wont to awaken the Kundartiguador organ.

Lunar Brahmacharya, with its terrible and malignant Veneniooskirian vibrations, gives rise to fanaticism and expert cynicism in a high degree.

The degenerated infrasexuals hate and condemn the Gnostics because we teach the mysteries of sex.

The degenerated infrasexuals are scandalized by the mysteries of sex, but they are never scandalized by their lusts, adulteries, fornications, etc.

Whoever wishes to self-realize without the Maithuna (sexual magic) is a sure candidate for the infernal worlds of the submerged mineral kingdom.

There exist three classes of Tantrism: white, black, and gray. In white Tantrism the ejaculation of the semen is prohibited; in black Tantrism the ejaculation of the semen is obligatory; and in gray Tantrism no importance is given to the ejaculation of the semen, but in the long run it becomes black.

With white Tantrism the serpent rises through the medullary canal along the spinal column.

With black Tantrism the serpent descends, projecting itself from the coccyx toward the atomic infernos of the human being, becoming the tail of Satan.

The Kundalini has seven degrees of power of fire. Only by practicing the Maithuna daily and for 20 or 30 years is the total development of the Kundalini attained.

The descending serpent, the Kundartiguador organ, develops the inferior Chakras of the lower abdomen and converts the human being into a malignant beast, terribly perverse.

The serpent ascending through the medullary canal of the spinal column develops all the divine powers of the human being.

Devi-Kundalini, the Fiery Serpent of our magical powers, is Isis, Adonia, Rhea, Cybele, Tonantzin, Mary, etc.

The Solar Bodies are gestated within the womb of Devi-Kundalini, the Divine Mother.

When the initiate is born from the womb of the Divine Mother in the superior worlds, when he leaves the ninth sphere, he is then prohibited from returning to it.

The Twice-Born enter a secret temple, and if they were to return to sex they would fall, losing all their powers.

Every initiate who attains that second birth of which Jesus spoke to Nicodemus then finds himself with the problem of disintegrating the ego or pluralized I and eliminating the lunar bodies.

If the initiate does not dissolve the pluralized I and eliminate the lunar bodies, he becomes a Hanasmussian with double center of gravity.

The secret Master clothed in the Solar Bodies, and the pluralized I clothed in the lunar bodies, constitute a double personality, a very grave problem that must be solved.

Every Hanasmussian has two internal personalities, the first solar, the second lunar.

The newborn Master must eliminate the internal lunar personality if he does not wish to become a Hanasmussian.

Among the most notable Hanasmussians we have the case of Andrameleck. There exists the Andrameleck the white magician and the Andrameleck the terrible and frightful black magician, and yet both subjects, so different and distinct, constitute a single individual.

It is clear that Andrameleck the tenebrous will have to involve in the submerged mineral kingdom until he is reduced to dust; only thus will the essence, the Buddhata, the soul, be able to be liberated, to return to the white Andrameleck, to the secret Master.

The newborn Master with his Solar Bodies must love his Mother Kundalini, adore her, render her cult; only she can help him eliminate the different entities that, as a whole, constitute the pluralized I.

In the internal worlds every newborn Master is subjected to many esoteric tests.

This class of tests permits the newborn Master to know deeply all the subconscious, submerged entities that come from a remote past and that constitute his pluralized I.

Only the Divine Mother can eliminate from the lunar bodies those tenebrous entities that personify our secret defects and that come from a remote past.

The initiate must understand deeply and in all the terrains of the mind every defect, but it is urgent to know that the mind cannot reduce any defect to cosmic dust.

The mind can only control the defects, hide them from itself, pass them from one terrain of the mind to another terrain of the mind, etc.

The changes attained by the mind are very superficial; they are useless; we need radical and profound changes, and that is possible with the help of Mother Kundalini, the Fiery Serpent of our magical powers.

In the different unconscious, infraconscious, etc., terrains of our own mind, we have entities that do, that execute actions totally opposed to those the initiate is accustomed to perform.

Those strange submerged entities are frightfully fornicating, adulterous, criminal, perverse, and are lodged within our lunar bodies; but they are not imprisoned within those bodies; they go out, they enter, they travel, they project themselves into all the molecular regions of nature.

If the initiate is meditating, trying to comprehend, for example, the defect of lust to eliminate it, while he is at his work, in the internal worlds he turns out to be doing the opposite: fornicating, committing adultery, etc.

That class of entities act in the subconscious, submerged regions in independent form and outside of our reason and our will, but they are not strange, alien entities; they are I myself, me-myself, self-itself.

Any newborn Master suffers unspeakably because he cannot control those subconscious parts of himself, those submerged, infraconscious, unconscious entities, etc., and he has no other recourse than to plead for help, to ask, to cry out to Mother Kundalini, the Sacred Serpent.

In this matter of the esoteric tests, there exists a cosmic didactic. The initiate is subjected again and again to a determined test, and if he fails, then he needs to cry out, to ask help from the divine Mother Kundalini, to plead with the Sacred Serpent to extract for him, to eliminate from his lunar bodies the psychological I or psychological entity that personifies the defect that has caused him to fail in the test.

The initiate is subjected to many esoteric tests, some related with anger, others with greed, those with lust, with envy, sloth, gluttony, etc., but following an order, a special didactic.

The initiate is placed again and again in situational circumstances and times where he does not even remotely remember his esoteric studies, the path, etc.

The work of eliminating those entities that constitute the pluralized I is more bitter than gall, and the initiate suffers unspeakably in the tests, because in the subconscious, unconscious, infraconscious regions, etc., the initiate turns out to be fornicating, committing adultery, committing crimes that he would never commit in the physical world, not even for all the gold of the world. Only Mother Kundalini, only the Divine Mother can help the initiate in this work of casting submerged entities into the infernal worlds.

When the lunar bodies become empty, when the pluralized I no longer inhabits them, then a mystical trance comes, and the initiate remains for three days in the internal worlds.

During these three days the body remains as if dead, and when the initiate returns to this physical body, he comes with his solar bodies; he no longer has the lunar bodies; the superior adepts help him by removing those vehicles, which then gradually disintegrate in the molecular world.

The initiate with his solar bodies is totally self-realized; he is a Master of the Day, a Master of the Mahamanvantara, with powers over life and death, over all that is, over all that has been, over all that shall be.

Whoever has studied the history of magic knows very well that in all epochs it was said that the great initiates remained three days dead and that on the third day they were resurrected.

In certain secret temples the spear was placed upon the breast of the mystic, and he fell into trance; on the third day the body was placed with the head toward the east, for the resurrection. What the initiate learned in the internal worlds during those three days corresponds to the Mysteries.

Chapter XII

The initiate with his solar bodies is totally self-realized; he is a Master of the Day, a Master of the Mahamanvantara, with powers over life and death, over all that is, over all that has been, over all that shall be.

Chapter Twelve: OPIUM, THE I, THE SUBCONSCIOUS

Opium has somewhat more than four hundred active elements, but the chemists only know forty-two elements. Below, we mention those forty-two elements:

Morphine.

Protopine.

Lanthopine.

Porphyroxine.

Opio or Nicotine.

Paramorphine or Thebaine.

Formine or Pseudoformine.

Metamorphine.

Gnoscopine.

Oilopine.

Atropine.

Pyrotine.

Delteropine.

Tiktoutine.

Kolotine.

Khaivatine.

Zoutine.

Trotopine.

Laudanine.

Laudanosine.

Podotorine.

Arkhatosine.

Tokitoxine.

Liktonozine.

Makanidine.

Papaverine.

Krintonine.

Kodomine.

Kolomonine.

Koilononine.

Katarnine.

Hydrokaternine.

Opianine (Meconine).

Meconciozine.

Pistotorine.

Fykhtonozine.

Codeine.

Nartaeine.

Pseudo-codeine.

Microparaine.

Microthebaine.

Messaine.

Opium in general, or some of its active elements, is wont to be used by drug addicts and the vicious of every kind to strengthen the evil consequences of the abominable Kundartiguador organ (tail of Satan).

It is urgent to know that, due to a lamentable mistake of certain sacred individuals, in a remote past all human beings had developed the abominable Kundartiguador organ (tail of Satan).

Later on, those sacred individuals removed from humanity the abominable Kundartiguador organ, intelligently keeping the sacred fire in the coccygeal Chakra, the church of Ephesus, Muladhara, magnetic center situated in the coccyx, base of the spinal column.

The evil consequences of the Kundartiguador organ are constituted by that legion of devils that every person carries within his lunar bodies.

Mendeleev gathered and listed all the names of the active elements of opium, intelligently classifying them according to their atomic weights.

The sacred law of the Heptaparaparshinokh, the law of Seven, governs the seven basic fundamental crystallizations of opium.

It is urgent to know that to the seven basic crystallizations of opium correspond another seven, and to those seven another seven, and there are in all 49 crystallizations unknown to official science.

The seven independent properties of opium, the seven fundamental crystallizations, have seven defined subjective properties that correspond with seven subjective states of the human subconscious.

The seven times seven crystallizations of opium correspond with seven times seven subjective states of opium, and with seven times seven subconscious states of the human being.

In our past message, 1964-1965, we have already spoken extensively about opium in relation to colors and sounds; today we only propose to study the relation of opium with the subjective states and the human subconscious.

If we wish to destroy the evil consequences of the abominable Kundartiguador organ within ourselves, we first need to understand that those evil consequences process themselves in each of the forty-nine subconscious states of the human being.

It is necessary to clarify that within those forty-nine subconscious states of the human being we include the so-called infraconscious, unconscious states, etc.

All the devils or small I’s that are formed in the five cylinders of the human machine are the dreadful consequences of the abominable Kundartiguador organ.

We have already said it, and we again repeat, that the five cylinders of the human machine are: Intellect, Emotion, Movement, Instinct, and Sex.

In these five cylinders of the human machine remained, to our misfortune, the evil consequences of the abominable Kundartiguador organ.

The opium addicts, the drug addicts, unfortunately strengthen within their five cylinders of the machine the dreadful consequences of the abominable Kundartiguador organ.

In the forty-nine terrains of the human subconscious live the small I’s that as a whole constitute that which is called ego, I, me-myself, self-itself.

The atomic material is different in each of the forty-nine subconscious terrains of the human being.

Any defect may disappear from the intellectual region, but that does not mean that thereby the demon that personifies it has ceased to exist; that demon, with the defect that characterizes it, continues as a second unit in the second subconscious region.

Any defect can disappear from the second subconscious region, but it continues to exist as a third unit in the third subconscious region, and so on successively.

There exist seven primary units, and within those seven exist seven subconscious secondary units; within these exist seven tertiary independent units, and in all of this exist processes of mutual relation, mutual influence, etc.

This explains the why of the didactic in the cosmic tests: If an initiate emerges victorious in a determined test of lust in the physical world, he may fail in the same test as a subconscious secondary or tertiary unit.

An initiate may emerge victorious in tests of lust in 48 subconscious regions and fail in region forty-nine.

The different entities or I’s that dwell in the forty-nine regions corresponding to the forty-nine subjective states of opium are wont to commit crimes that horrify, even though the initiate may be in the physical world a complete saint.

The subconscious entities, the I’s that constitute the ego, are true independent demons that have stolen part of our consciousness and that do exactly the opposite of what we wish.

If in the physical world we propose not to fornicate, in the secondary, tertiary, quaternary, etc., subconscious regions, we do exactly the opposite; there one fornicates even though in the physical world the initiate may have attained perfect chastity.

The most grave thing is that state of self-independence with which those submerged subconscious I’s act and live.

The most grave thing is not being able to say: Those entities are something strange, distinct. Truly those entities are I Myself.

Many initiates emerge victorious in thirty or forty regions when they are subjected to tests in such or such defect, but in the other subconscious regions they lamentably fail.

It is clear that while those subconscious, submerged entities continue to exist in the forty-nine subconscious regions, our defects continue to exist.

It is urgent to comprehend every defect, not only at the intellectual level, but also in each of the forty-nine subconscious departments of the mind.

The most grave problem arises in us when, in spite of having comprehended a defect in all the forty-nine subconscious terrains of the mind, we fail upon being subjected to tests.

The failed test comes to indicate to us that we still have the defect we wish to annihilate.

It is clear that if the I that personifies that defect we wish to disintegrate continues to exist within any of the subconscious regions, the result is failure in the tests.

Only Mother Kundalini, the fiery serpent of our magical powers, can help us in this case by extracting, drawing from our lunar bodies the defect in person — that is, the I that personifies it.

Without the Divine Mother it is impossible to extract from the profound subconscious regions the hidden defects personified in the small submerged subconscious I’s.

Kundalini is a compound word that divides into two: Kunda, which reminds us of the abominable Kundartiguador organ; Lini, which means end.

Kundalini means end of the Kundartiguador organ; with the Kundalini the dreadful consequences of the abominable Kundartiguador organ end. We have already said, and we again repeat, that in the pluralized I are personified those evil consequences of the said tenebrous organ.

Whoever wishes to dissolve the pluralized I must leave self-love and self-overestimation. Those who live very attached to themselves, those who love themselves too much, will never be able to dissolve the pluralized I.

Practical life, social interaction, is the full-length mirror where we can self-discover ourselves. In social interaction our hidden defects leap out, surface spontaneously, and if we are in a state of alertness, then we see them, we discover them.

Every hidden defect must be submitted to terrible intellectual analyses, and after having profoundly comprehended it, it is necessary to investigate and comprehend it by means of meditation in all the subconscious terrains of the mind.

Comprehension takes the initiate to subconscious regions where we are like leaves carried by the wind, impotent, incapable of eliminating the discovered defect; then we need to ask for help from the Divine Mother Kundalini; only She can extract from the subconscious depths the demon that personifies such defect; she helps us and casts into the infernal worlds the submerged entity that personifies the defect we wish to reduce to dust.

The submerged subconscious entities of our defects must enter little by little into the infernal worlds with the help of the Divine Mother Kundalini.

People covet virtues, without understanding that covetousness of any kind fortifies the pluralized I, and many are the persons who self-deceive themselves by coveting not to be covetous.

Many are the persons who covet the virtue of sweetness. Those poor people do not wish to understand that only by comprehending all the processes of anger in all the subconscious departments is the virtue of sweetness born within us.

Many are the people who covet the virtue of chastity; those people do not wish to understand that only by comprehending all the processes of lust in all the subconscious departments is the virtue of chastity born within us.

Pride is wont to disguise itself with the tunic of humility, and many are the persons who covet the virtue of humility, without understanding that only by dissecting pride at all the subconscious levels of the mind is there born within us, in a natural and simple form, the exotic flower of humility.

Envy is the secret spring of all social machinery, and many are the people who covet the virtue of joy at the well-being of others; those people do not wish to understand that only by comprehending the infinite processes of envy in all the subconscious departments of the mind is there born within us the virtue of joy at the well-being of others.

Many lazy ones covet the virtue of activity, but they do not wish to understand that only by comprehending the processes of laziness in all the terrains of the mind is there born within us diligence, activity.

Many gluttons covet the virtue of continence, of temperance, but they do not wish to realize that only by comprehending the processes of gluttony in the different corridors and nooks of the mind is there born within us, in a natural and spontaneous form, the necessity of eating little and being moderate in drinking.

Anger is wont to disguise itself with the toga of the judge or with the bitter smile. There exist many people who do not covet money, social position, etc., but who covet virtues, honors, heaven, psychic powers, etc.

There exist persons terribly chaste at the intellectual level, but frightfully fornicating in the different subconscious regions.

Fornication is wont to disguise itself with the flirtation of the girl passing in the street, or with the supposedly very serious conversation with the person of the opposite sex, or with the pretext of love of beauty, etc.

There exist many people who do not envy money, social positions, posts, honors, things, but envy the saints, covet their virtues so as to also become saints.

There exist people who dress humbly, but have sublime prides, presume of simplicity, do not make ostentation of anything, and hide their pride not only from others but also from themselves.

Some gluttons disguise their gluttony with the air of simple people of Sunday and field day; others try to justify their defect by saying that they need to feed themselves well in order to work, etc.

Every defect is multifaceted, and in the subconscious regions it is represented by multiple subjective entities or small I’s, that live within our lunar bodies and project themselves into the regions or subconscious terrains of the mind.

Only by means of deep comprehension and with the help of the Divine Mother Kundalini can we eliminate those I’s from our lunar bodies.

The initiate, with the help of the Divine Mother, needs not only to eliminate the desire, but also the shadow of the desire and even the memory of such shadow.

People confuse passion with love; it is very difficult to find in life a couple of truly legitimate lovers. The only thing that exists in the world are the couples of impassioned ones. Passion disguises itself with the clothing of love and speaks delights and things of paradise.

It is possible that there exist in the world some couples of true lovers who love and adore each other, but that kind of case we must seek with the lantern of Diogenes.

Any impassioned one may swear that he is in love, that he is loving, and even marry and live many years, or all his life, convinced that he is in love, totally deceived with the poison of passion.

Common and ordinary people would hardly admit these affirmations, but every initiate comes to know this and to comprehend it when he is subjected to rigorous tests in the different subconscious terrains.

The path of light is very narrow, strait, and difficult; for some reason it is called the Path of the Razor’s Edge.

In the esoteric or public circle of humanity there exist many persons who study pseudo-occultism, but it is very rare to find a serious person who is truly resolved to work for his intimate self-realization.

In practice we have been able to evidence that the only thing that interests people is to amuse themselves, and they have made of all this a new form of amusement.

Everywhere abound the flitterers who today are in one school and tomorrow in another, who today listen to one lecturer and tomorrow to another, who today are enthusiastic about one teaching and tomorrow about another.

All the flitterers we have known lamentably waste their time and die without having self-realized themselves.

Within the mind exists the accumulative center, the center that only wishes to accumulate theories, data, amusements, etc.; that center is the pluralized I.

The different entities of the I take pleasure in accumulating, want to amuse themselves; when one of those entities becomes enthusiastic about the path of the razor’s edge, it is soon displaced by another entity that wants nothing of this path, and then we see that the person enters another school, abandoning the path.

The pluralized I is the worst enemy of intimate self-realization; the most grave thing is the subtle form of deceit. Whoever abandons the path of the razor’s edge firmly believes he has come out of error and found the true path.

Every Gnostic student who truly wishes to acquire a permanent center of consciousness, in order to have continuity of purposes and attain intimate self-realization, must dissolve the pluralized I, eliminate from his lunar bodies the different subconscious, submerged entities that are fabricated from moment to moment in the five cylinders of the machine.

Only by de-egoizing ourselves do we individualize ourselves, and only by possessing a true individuality do we cease to flitter, do we acquire seriousness and continuity of purposes.

It is necessary to leave the truism of believing ourselves saints, because in this world it is very difficult to find a saint.

All of us have the same defects, and those who do not have a determined defect in one direction have it in another; all of us seem cut with the same scissors.

We must not forget the intimate relation that exists between the forty-nine subconscious states of opium and the forty-nine subjective states of the intellectual animal called man.

Nature speaks everywhere, and the seven times seven subjective states of opium are found within the human being.

We need to reduce the I to dust, and this is only possible on the basis of deep comprehension and with the help of the Divine Mother Kundalini, the fiery serpent of our magical powers.

Chapter XIII

In the forty-nine terrains of the human subconscious live the small I's that as a whole constitute that which is called ego, I, me-myself, self-itself.

Chapter Thirteen: GNOSIS

Let us now study a chapter of the Chinese Gospel called the TAO, with the purpose of ever further clarifying our Gnostic doctrine.

“Cha Hsiang Tzu sent a company of one hundred thousand men to hunt in the central mountain range. They ignited with sparks a bonfire that spread throughout the whole forest, and the brilliance of the flames was seen from hundreds of kilometers. Suddenly a man appeared, coming out from among the flames, and he was seen amid the smoke. All took him for a spirit, and when the fire was extinguished, he came out swiftly without showing the slightest burn.

Hsiang Tzu, marveled by it, stopped him to examine him carefully. His bodily form was without doubt that of a man, with his five senses, his breath and his voice. So the Prince asked him what strange power permitted him to walk through the precipices and the flames. — ‘What do you suppose is a rock? What do you suppose is fire?’ — the man asked. Hsiang Tzu said: ‘From where do you come, and through where have you passed?’ — ‘I know nothing of it,’ answered the man.”

“The incident reached the ears of the Marquis Wen of the State of Wei, who spoke to Tzu Hsia concerning it, saying: — ‘What an extraordinary man he must be!’ ‘According to what I have heard the Master say,’ replied Tzu Hsia, ‘the man who is in harmony with TAO enters into intimate communion with external objects, and none of them can do him any harm. He passes through metal and solid stone, passes through fire or over water; all is possible for him.’ — ‘Why, my friend,’ said the Marquis, ‘can you not do all that?’ — ‘I have not yet come,’ answered Tzu Hsia, ‘to cleansing my heart of impurities and false wisdom.

I only find pleasure in discussing the matter.’ — ‘And why,’ asked the Marquis, ‘does not the Master do the same?’ — ‘The Master,’ answered Tzu Hsia, ‘can do these things, but he can also abstain from doing them.’”

“This reply enchanted the Marquis.”

It is urgent to light the sacred fire in the central mountain range, that is, in the spinal column; Mother Kundalini confers upon the initiate extraordinary powers over the flaming fire, the air, the waters, and the earth.

What do you suppose is a rock? This reminds us of the philosopher’s stone of the old Medieval Alchemists. This reminds us of the doctrine of Peter. Petrus signifies Stone, Peter, one of the twelve apostles of the Christ whose birth we celebrate this Christmas night.

The doctrine of Peter is the doctrine of sex, the science of the Maithuna (sexual magic). The living stone is sex, the rock, the stone upon which we must raise the Interior Temple for the Inner Christ, our Lord.

And Peter said: “Behold, I lay in Zion the chief cornerstone, elect, precious; and he that believeth in her shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe, He is precious; but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner; a stone of stumbling and rock of offence.”

Whoever lights the bonfire in the central mountain range (the spinal column) builds the Temple (fabricates the Solar Bodies) and enters into harmony with the TAO (incarnates the Being).

Jesus the Christ, whose Christmas we celebrate this night, said: “Everyone who hears me and fulfills what I say I shall compare to a prudent man, who built his house upon 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 fulfill, I shall compare to a foolish man, who built his house upon sand” (theories of every kind, practices of every species, with total exclusion of the Maithuna or sexual magic).

“And rains came, and winds, and floods, and the house gave way, with great ruin” (falling into the abyss).

In the world millions of persons build upon the sand and hate the Maithuna (sexual magic); they do not want to build upon the rock, upon the stone (sex); they build upon the sand of their theories, schools, etc., and believe they are doing very well.

Those poor people are sincerely mistaken and of very good intentions, but they will fall into the abyss.

Everyone who is born in the superior worlds must reduce the ego to dust, in order to free himself from the lunar bodies and exercise all the priestly power of high magic.

The Master who has not dissolved the pluralized I, the Master who has not eliminated the lunar bodies, cannot yet exercise the priestly power, because he has not cleansed his heart of impurities and false wisdoms.

Jesus said to his disciples:

“Cease not by night or by day to seek until ye have found the mysteries of the kingdom of the light.”

“For they will purify you and lead you to the kingdom of the light.”

“And say to them: Renounce the world and all that is in it.”

“And all its abuses, and all its sins, and all its gluttonies.”

“And all its discourses, and all that is in it, that ye may be worthy of the mysteries of the light.”

“And that ye may be preserved from the torments reserved to those who have separated themselves from the good.”

“And say to them: Renounce murmuring, that ye may be preserved from the burning of the mouth of the hound.”

“And say to them: Renounce swearing, that ye may be worthy of the mysteries of the light. And that ye may be delivered from the torments of Ariel.”

“Say to them: Renounce the lying tongue, that ye may be worthy of the mysteries of the light. And that ye may be preserved from the burning rivers of the tongue of the hound.”

“Renounce evil words, that ye may be worthy of the mysteries of the light. And that ye may be saved from the torments of the river of smoke.”

“And say to them: Renounce self-love, that ye may be worthy of the mysteries of the light. And that ye may be saved from the torments of hell (mineral kingdom).”

“Renounce eloquence (verbosity of the intellectuality without spirituality), that ye may be worthy of the light. And that ye may be preserved from the flames of hell.”

“Renounce deception, that ye may be worthy of the mysteries of the light. And that ye may be preserved from the seas of fire of Ariel.”

“Renounce cruelty, that ye may be worthy of the mysteries of the light. And that ye may be preserved from the torments of the jaws of the dragons.”

“Renounce anger, that ye may be worthy of the mysteries of the light. And that ye may be preserved from the rivers of smoke of the jaws of the dragons.”

“Renounce disobedience, that ye may be worthy of the mysteries of the light. And that ye may be preserved from the demons of Iadalbaoth and the burnings of the sea of fire.”

“Renounce wrath, that ye may be worthy of the mysteries of the light. And that ye may be preserved from the demons of Iadalbaoth and their torments.”

“Renounce adultery, that ye may be worthy of the mysteries of the light. And that ye may be preserved from the sea of sulphur and the jaws of the lion.”

“Renounce homicides, that ye may be worthy of the mysteries of the light. And that ye may be preserved from the archons of the crocodiles, which is the first of the creatures that are in the outer darkness.”

“Renounce the perverse and impious works, that ye may be worthy of the mysteries of the light. And that ye may be preserved from the archons of the outer darkness.”

“Renounce impiety, that ye may be worthy of the mysteries of the light. And that ye may be preserved from the weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

“Renounce poisonings, that ye may be worthy of the mysteries of the light. And that ye may be saved from the great cold and the hail of the outer darkness.”

“Renounce blasphemies, that ye may be worthy of the mysteries of the light. And that ye may be preserved from all the torments of the great dragon of the outer darkness.”

“And say to those who preach and listen to evil doctrines: Woe unto you!”

“For if ye repent not of your malice, ye shall fall into the most rigorous torments of the great dragon and the outer darkness.”

“And nothing in the world shall ransom you, unto eternity.”

“But ye shall be without existence unto the end (ye shall enter the land of no return, the infernal worlds).”

“And say to those who neglect the doctrine of the truth of the first mystery: Woe unto you!”

“For the torments ye shall have to experience shall surpass those experienced by other men.”

“And ye shall remain among the snow, in the midst of the dragons, in the outer darkness.”

“And nothing shall be able to ransom you unto eternity (until they are reduced to dust in the infernal worlds of the mineral kingdom).”

“And say to them: Love all human beings, that ye may be worthy of the mysteries of the light. And that ye may rise into the kingdom of the light.”

“Be sweet, that ye may receive the mystery of the light and rise to the mystery of the light.”

“Aid the poor and the sick, that ye may make yourselves worthy of receiving the mystery of the light and may rise to the kingdom of the light.”

“Love God, in order to receive the mystery of the light and arrive at the kingdom of the light.”

“Be charitable, that ye may receive the mystery of the light and arrive at the kingdom of the light.”

“Be holy, in order to receive the mystery of the light and rise to the kingdom of the light.”

“Renounce all, in order to be worthy of the mystery of the light and rise to the kingdom of the light.”

“For these are the ways of those who make themselves worthy of the mystery of the light.”

“And when ye find human beings who renounce all that constitutes evil and practice what I say, transmit to them the mysteries of the light, hiding nothing from them.”

“And though they were sinners, and committed the sins and faults I have enumerated to you, give them also the mysteries, that they may convert themselves and do penance, and hide nothing from them.”

“For I have brought the mysteries to this world, to redeem all the sins that have been committed from the beginning.”

“And therefore I have said to you that I have not come to call the just. I have brought the mysteries to redeem the sins of all, and that all may be brought to the kingdom of the light.”

“For these mysteries are a gift from the first mystery to blot out sins.”

Chapter XV

The living stone is sex, the rock, the stone upon which we must raise the Interior Temple for the Inner Christ, our Lord.

Chapter Fourteen: DIVISION OF ATTENTION

Those who have studied our Gnostic teachings, those who have studied this Christmas message, if they truly come to be interested in the Path of the Razor’s Edge and the intimate self-realization of the Being, will feel the yearning to see, hear, smell, touch, and feel the great realities of the superior worlds.

Every human being can arrive at the experience of reality. Every human being has the right to the great experiences of the spirit, to know the kingdoms and nations of the molecular and electronic regions.

Every aspirant has the right to study at the feet of the Master, to enter through the splendid gates of the temples of the greater mysteries, to converse face to face with the brilliant sons of the dawn of the Mahamanvantara of creation; however, one must begin by awakening consciousness.

It is impossible to be awake in the superior worlds if here in this cellular, physical, material world the aspirant is asleep. Whoever wishes to awaken consciousness in the internal worlds must awaken here and now, in this dense world.

If the aspirant has not awakened consciousness here in this physical world, much less in the superior worlds.

Whoever awakens consciousness here and now, awakens everywhere. Whoever awakens consciousness here in the physical world, in fact and by his own right, remains awake in the superior worlds.

The first thing needed to awaken consciousness is to know that one is asleep.

Understanding that one is asleep is something very difficult, because normally all people are absolutely convinced that they are awake. When a human being understands that he is asleep, he then initiates the process of self-awakening.

We are saying something that nobody accepts; if to any intellectual man we were to say that he is asleep, you may be sure that he might become offended; people are fully convinced that they are awake.

People work asleep, dreaming… they drive cars asleep… dreaming… they marry asleep, they live asleep… dreaming, and yet they are totally convinced that they are awake.

Whoever wishes to awaken consciousness here and now must begin by understanding the three subconscious factors called: Identification, fascination, sleep.

Every type of identification produces fascination and sleep. You go walking down a street; suddenly you encounter the crowds protesting about something before the presidential palace; if you are not in a state of alertness, you identify yourself with the parade, you mix with the multitudes, you become fascinated, and then sleep comes; you shout, you throw stones, you do things that in other circumstances you would not do even for a million dollars.

To forget oneself is an error of incalculable consequences. To identify oneself with something is the height of stupidity, because the result is fascination and sleep.

It is impossible that anyone can awaken consciousness if he forgets himself, if he identifies himself with something.

It is impossible that an aspirant can awaken consciousness if he lets himself be fascinated, if he falls into sleep.

The boxer who is exchanging blows with another boxer is sleeping profoundly, is dreaming, is totally identified with the event, is fascinated; and if he were to awaken consciousness, he would look in all directions and would flee immediately from the ring, totally ashamed of himself and of the honorable public.

You go suddenly traveling on any urban transport within the city; you must leave the vehicle at a certain street; suddenly the memory of a loved one comes to your mind; you identify yourself with such memory; fascination comes, and then to daydream… Suddenly you give a cry of exclamation: Where am I? Heavens!… I have passed my block… I had to get off at such a corner, on such a street!; and then you realize that your consciousness had been absent; you get off the vehicle and return on foot to the corner where you should have gotten off.

Whoever wishes to awaken consciousness must begin by dividing the attention into three parts: subject, object, place.

Subject — intimate recollection of oneself from moment to moment. Do not forget oneself before any representation, before any event.

Object — do not identify oneself with anything, with any circumstance; observe without identification, without forgetting oneself.

Place — ask oneself: What place is this? Observe the place in detail; ask oneself: Why am I in this place?

The division of attention into three parts will lead the aspirants to the awakening of consciousness.

To wish to experience the great realities of the superior worlds without having awakened consciousness here and now is to march on the path of error.

The awakening of consciousness gives rise to the development of the spatial sense and to the experience of that which is real.

Chapter XVI

When a human being understands that he is asleep, he then initiates the process of self-awakening.

Chapter Fifteen: INTIMATE SELF-REMEMBERING

Even though it may seem incredible, when the student observes himself, he does not remember himself.

The aspirants, beyond all doubt, truly do not feel themselves, are not conscious of themselves.

It seems something improbable that when the Gnostic aspirant self-observes his form of laughing, speaking, walking, etc., he forgets himself; this is incredible, but certain.

However, it is indispensable to try to remember oneself while self-observing; this is fundamental in order to attain the awakening of consciousness.

To self-observe, to self-know, without forgetting oneself, is terribly difficult, but frightfully urgent in order to attain the awakening of consciousness.

What we are saying seems a foolishness; people are unaware that they are asleep; they are unaware that they do not remember themselves, not even when they look at themselves in a full-length mirror, not even when they observe themselves in detail meticulously.

This forgetfulness of self, this not remembering oneself, is truly the causa causorum of all human ignorance.

When any human being comes to understand profoundly that he cannot remember himself, that he is not conscious of himself, he is very close to the awakening of consciousness.

We are speaking of something which must be reflected upon profoundly; what we are saying here is very important and cannot be understood if it is read mechanically.

Our readers must reflect. People are not capable of feeling their own I while they self-observe themselves, of passing it from one center to another, etc.

To observe one’s own form of speaking, laughing, walking, etc., without forgetting oneself, feeling that I within, is very difficult, and yet basic, fundamental, in order to attain the awakening of consciousness.

The great Master Ouspensky said: “The first impression produced upon me by the effort to be conscious of my Being, to be conscious of myself as I, of saying to myself: I am walking, I am doing, and to try to keep this I alive, to feel it within me, was the following: Thought was as if asleep; when I was ‘I’-ing, I could not think or speak; even the intensity of sensations diminished; moreover, one could maintain oneself in such a state only for a very brief time.”

It is necessary to dissolve the pluralized I, to reduce it to ashes, but we must know it; we must study it in the forty-nine subconscious departments, symbolized among the Gnostics by the forty-nine demons of Iadalbaoth.

If a doctor is going to extract a cancerous tumor, he first needs to know it; if a human being wants to dissolve the I, he needs to study it, to be conscious of it, to know it in the forty-nine subconscious departments.

During intimate self-remembering, in that tremendous super-effort to be conscious of one’s own I, it is clear that attention is divided, and here we again return to the matter of the division of attention. One part of attention is directed, as is only logical, toward the effort; the other toward the Ego or pluralized I.

Intimate self-remembering is something more than analyzing oneself; it is a new state, which is known only through direct experience.

Every human being has had at some time those moments, states of intimate self-remembering; perhaps in an instant of infinite terror, perhaps in childhood or on some journey, when we exclaim: And what am I doing here? Why am I here?

Self-observation, accompanied simultaneously with the intimate remembering of one’s own I, is terribly difficult, and yet indispensable in order to truly self-know oneself.

The pluralized I turns out always to be doing the opposite during meditation; he takes pleasure in fornicating when we try to comprehend lust; he thunders and lightnings, in any of the forty-nine subconscious departments of Iadalbaoth, when we try to comprehend anger; he covets not to be covetous when we wish to reduce greed to dust.

Intimate self-remembering is becoming fully aware of all those subconscious processes of the me-myself, the Ego, the pluralized I.

To self-observe our form of thinking, speaking, laughing, walking, eating, feeling, etc., without forgetting oneself, the intimate processes of the Ego, of what is occurring within, in the forty-nine subconscious departments of Iadalbaoth, turns out to be truly frightfully difficult, and yet fundamental for the awakening of consciousness.

Self-observation, the intimate self-remembering, initiates the development of the spatial sense, which reaches its full maturity with the awakening of consciousness.

The chakras mentioned by Mr. Leadbeater and many other authors are, in relation to the spatial sense, like the flowers in relation to the tree that gives them life.

The fundamental is the tree. The spatial sense is the normal functionalism of the awakened consciousness.

Every truly awakened human being can see, hear, touch, smell, and feel all that occurs in the forty-nine subconscious departments of Iadalbaoth.

Every truly awakened human being can verify for himself, through direct experience, the dreams of people; he can see those dreams in the persons walking through the streets, in those working in factories, in those who govern, in every creature.

Every truly awakened human being can see, hear, smell, touch, and feel all the things of the superior worlds.

Whoever wishes to experience the reality of all that occurs in the superior dimensions of space must awaken consciousness, here and now.

Chapter XVII

Self-observation, the intimate self-remembering, initiates the development of the spatial sense, which reaches its full maturity with the awakening of consciousness.

Chapter Sixteen: THE SCIENCE OF MEDITATION

The void is very difficult to explain because it is indefinable and indescribable. The void cannot be described or expressed in human words, because the different languages that exist on earth can only designate things and feelings that exist; it is in no way an exaggeration to affirm that human languages are not adequate to express the things and feelings that do not exist, and yet are tremendously real.

To try to define the illuminating void within the earthly limits of a language limited by the forms of existence is, beyond all doubt, foolish and erroneous.

It is necessary to know, to experience in a living form the illuminated aspect of consciousness.

It is urgent to feel and experience the void aspect of the mind.

There exist two types of illumination: the first is wont to be called “dead water,” because it has bonds. The second is praised as “the Great Life,” because it is illumination without bonds, illuminating void.

In this there are grades and grades, scales and scales; it is necessary to arrive first at the illuminated aspect of consciousness, and then at objective knowledge, at the illuminating void.

Buddhism says: “Form does not differ from the void, and the void does not differ from form; form is void and void is form.”

It is owing to the void that things exist, and by the very fact that things exist, they must be the void.

The void is a clear and precise term that expresses the non-substantial and non-personal nature of beings, and an indication, a sign of the state of absolute absence of the pluralized I.

Only in the absolute absence of the I can we experience the real, that which is not of time, that which transforms radically.

The void and existence complement each other; they embrace, they include each other; they never exclude, they never deny.

Common, ordinary people of everyday life, the people of asleep consciousness, perceive subjectively angles, lines, surfaces, but never the complete bodies within and without, above and below, in front and behind, etc., and much less can they perceive their void aspect.

The human being of awakened consciousness and void and illuminated mind has eliminated from his perceptions the subjective elements; he perceives the bodies completely; he perceives the void aspect of each thing.

This is the non-discriminative doctrine of the middle path, the unification of the void and existence.

The void is that which has no name… that which is real… that which is the truth and which some call the Tao, others the Inri, others the Zen… Allah… Brahma or God; it does not matter what it is called.

The human being who awakens consciousness experiences the tremendous truth that he is no longer a slave, and with pain he can verify that the people walking through the streets, dreaming, seem true walking corpses.

If this awakening of consciousness becomes continuous by means of the intimate self-remembering from moment to moment, one then arrives at objective consciousness, at pure consciousness, at the void aspect of the mind.

The illuminated consciousness is fundamental in order to experience the real and reduce the pluralized I to cosmic dust; but this state is still on the edge of the Samsara (the painful world in which we live).

When one has arrived at the state of awakened consciousness, one has taken a formidable step, but the initiate continues unfortunately still obfuscated by the monist idea; he is incapable of breaking all those subtle threads that connect him to certain things, to certain effects of a prejudicial type; he has not arrived at the other shore.

When the initiate unties the bonds that in one way or another tie him to the illuminated consciousness, he then arrives at perfect illumination, at the illuminating void, free and entirely insubstantial.

To arrive at the very center of the mind, to arrive at the illuminating void, at objective knowledge, is something tremendously difficult, but not impossible; every Gnostic can attain it if he works upon himself.

The illuminating void is not nothingness; the void is free life in its movement. The void is what is, what has always been, and what shall always be. The void is beyond time and beyond eternity.

The mind has three hundred thousand clans or receptive centers, and each clan must vibrate at the same tone without any effort.

The mind is of feminine nature and is made to receive, assimilate, and comprehend.

The natural state of the mind is receptive, still, silent, like a deep and tranquil ocean.

The process of thinking is an abnormal accident whose original cause is found in the pluralized I.

When the mind is empty of every class of thoughts, when the mind is still, when the mind is in silence, the three hundred thousand clans then vibrate at the same tone without any effort.

When the mind is still, when the mind is in silence, the new comes to us — that which is the real.

Chapter XVIII

The human being of awakened consciousness and void and illuminated mind has eliminated from his perceptions the subjective elements; he perceives the bodies completely; he perceives the void aspect of each thing.

Chapter Seventeen: THE CHINESE MASTER WU WEN

The great master Wu Wen began his practices of meditation under the wise direction of Master Tuo Weng.

The first work of meditation was performed with the following koan or mysterious phrase: “It is not the mind, it is not the Buddha, it is nothing.”

Wu Wen, seated in the oriental style, concentrated his mind on this phrase, trying to comprehend its profound significance.

Truly this KOAN or enigmatic phrase is difficult to comprehend, and meditating on it, with the wholesome purpose of experiencing the truth enclosed in each of the words contained in this mysterious phrase, it is clear that at last the mind, not being able to know its meaning, falls vanquished, as if mortally wounded; then it resigns itself, remaining still and in silence.

The Chinese master Wu Wen had the bliss of meeting Yung Feng and Yueh Shan, and some other brethren, and all together they pledged themselves to work to attain illumination.

After some time Wu Wen went to Master Huai Shi, who taught him to meditate with the help of the sacred mantram WU. This mantram is sung mentally with the letter U repeated twice, U… U…, prolonging the vocal sound, like imitating the sound of the hurricane when it howls through the throat of the mountain, or like the terrible blow of the waves against the shore.

The singing of this mantram is done mentally when we practice meditation, with the purpose of arriving at the stillness and silence of the mind, when we need to empty the mind of every class of thoughts, desires, memories, preoccupations, etc.

Afterwards he went to Chang Lu, where he practiced meditation with his companion who yearned for the final illumination.

When Wu Wen met Chin of Huai Shang, the latter asked him: “You have been practicing for six or seven years; what have you come to understand?” Wu Wen replied: “Each day I have the impression that there is nothing in my mind.”

This answer was very wise; Wu Wen already had the impression that there was nothing in his mind; his mind was beginning to be empty; the battling of reasonings was reaching its end.

Wu Wen was advancing marvelously, but something was missing, and Chin said to him: “You can practice in stillness, but you lose the practice in activity.” This greatly disturbed Wu Wen, for it touched precisely his weak point.

To be able to have the mind still and in silence, empty of every class of thoughts, even when we are hungry… thirsty, even when mosquitoes bite us or there is much noise of people at our side… is something very difficult, and this was what was missing in Wu Wen; he could practice meditation in stillness, but he could not practice in activity — that is, with all these inconveniences.

“What must I do?” Wu Wen asked Chin; the answer was: “Have you never heard what Chung Lao-Tsé says? If you wish to understand this, face the south and contemplate the Little Bear.”

Enigmatic words… exotic, mysterious words… difficult to comprehend, and what is most grave: there is no explanation. Having said this, Chin withdrew.

Wu Wen remained tremendously preoccupied; he left the practice with the mantram Wu for a week and concentrated his mind, seeking to understand fully what Chin had meant with that of “turning to the south and contemplating the Little Bear.”

He only came to understand this when the monks who accompanied him in the meditation hall left the enclosure to go to the dining hall. Then Wu Wen continued his meditation in the hall and forgot the meal.

That of the mealtime arriving and yet continuing to meditate, that of letting the meal pass unnoticed, was certainly something very decisive for Wu Wen, because then he understood the meaning of meditating in activity.

Wu Wen relates that precisely at those moments his mind became brilliant, empty, light, transparent; his human thoughts fragmented into pieces like little bits of dry skin; he felt himself sinking into the void.

Half an hour later, when he returned to his body, he found that it was bathed in sweat. Then it was that he understood that of seeing the Little Bear, facing the south.

He had learned during meditation to face, to confront the Little Bear — that is, hunger, noise, every class of factors prejudicial to meditation.

From this moment, no noise, no mosquito bites, no annoyance of hunger, neither heat nor cold could prevent him from perfect concentration of thought.

Later, when he again visited Chin, he was able to answer with complete exactness all the questions the latter posed to him; however, it is painful to say that Wu Wen was not yet sufficiently divested to attain the state of “Taking a leap forward.”

Some time later, Wu Wen went to visit Hsianh Yen in the mountains to spend the summer season, and he relates that, during meditation, the mosquitoes bit him terribly and without any mercy, but he had learned to look the Little Bear straight in the face (obstacles, inconveniences, hunger, mosquitoes, etc.), and then he thought: “If the ancients sacrificed their bodies for the Dharma, shall I fear the mosquitoes?”

Conscious of this, he set out to patiently tolerate all the stings, with his fists clenched and his jaws tight; enduring the horrible bites of the mosquitoes, he concentrated his mind on the mantram W.U. (u… u…).

Wu Wen sang the mantram W.U., imitating with the U the sound of the wind through the throat of the mountain, the sound of the sea when it lashes the shore; Wu Wen knew how to intelligently combine meditation with sleep.

Wu Wen sang his mantram with the mind and did not think of anything. When some desire or memory or thought arose in his understanding, Wu Wen did not reject it, he studied it, he analyzed it, he comprehended it in all the levels of the mind, and then forgot it in a radical, total, or definitive form.

Wu Wen sang his Mantram continuously; he desired nothing, he reasoned nothing; any desire or thought that arose in the mind was duly comprehended and then forgotten; the singing of the mantram was not interrupted; the mosquitoes and their stings no longer mattered.

Suddenly something transcendental happened; he felt that his mind and his body crumbled like the four walls of a house. It was the state of the illuminating void, pure, perfect, free of every class of attributes; he had sat down to meditate in the early morning hours, and only at evening did he rise.

It is clear that one may give oneself to meditation seated in the oriental style with legs crossed as the Buddha did, or in the western style in the most comfortable position, or lying with arms and legs spread to right and left, like the five-pointed star, with the body relaxed; but Wu Wen was oriental and preferred to sit in the oriental style like the Buddha.

Up to this moment the great Chinese master Wu Wen attained the experience of the illuminating void, yet something was still missing; he had not reached full maturity; in his mind there were erroneous and unnoticed thoughts that secretly continued to exist — small tempting demons, small subconscious I’s, residues that still lived in the forty-nine subconscious departments of Iadalbaoth.

After this experience of the illuminating void, Wu Wen went to the mountain of Wung Chow and there meditated for six years; later he meditated for another six years on the mountain of Lu Han, and then three years more in Kuang Chou. At the end of these efforts and after having suffered much, Master Wu Wen attained the last illumination.

Master Wu Wen was a true athlete of meditation. During his practices he understood that all mental effort creates intellectual tension, and that this is harmful to meditation, because it obstructs illumination.

Master Wu Wen never divided himself between a higher I and another of inferior type, because he understood that superior or inferior are two sections of one and the same thing.

Master Wu Wen felt himself, not as a god nor as a Deva, in the style of the mythomaniacs, but as an unhappy pluralized I, truly disposed to die more and more within himself.

Master Wu Wen did not self-divide himself between I and my thoughts, because he understood that my thoughts and I are all I, and that it is necessary to be integral in order to attain perfect meditation.

During meditation Master Wu Wen found himself in an integral state, receptive, tremendously humble, with the mind still and in profound silence, without effort of any kind, without mental tension, without the desire of being something more, because Wu Wen knew very well that the I is what it is and that it can never be anything more than what it is.

In these conditions, all the three hundred thousand clans of the mental body of Master Wu Wen vibrated intensely with the same tone, without any effort, capturing, receiving love and wisdom.

When Wu Wen was in the meditation halls and Lumisials, all the monks received a great benefit from the powerful vibrations of his luminous aura.

Wu Wen already possessed the Superior Existential Bodies of the Being, the Solar Bodies, but he needed to dissolve the I and attain final illumination, and he attained it after having suffered much.

Chapter XIX

Master Wu Wen did not self-divide himself between I and my thoughts, because he understood that my thoughts and I are all I, and that it is necessary to be integral in order to attain perfect meditation.

Chapter Eighteen: THE VENUSTIC INITIATION

The Venustic Initiation is only for true human beings, never for the intellectual animals.

By true human beings let it be understood those who have already fabricated the solar bodies.

By intellectual animals let it be understood all of humanity, all the people who only have lunar bodies.

The Venustic Initiation is the true Christmas of the tranquil heart. The Venustic Initiation is for the few; it is a grace of the Solar Logos.

In Nirvana there exist many Buddhas who, in spite of their great perfections, have never attained the Venustic Initiation.

The law of the Solar Logos is sacrifice for humanity. He sacrifices himself from the dawn of life, crucifying himself in all worlds, in every new planet that arises into existence, so that all beings may have life and have it in abundance.

Rare is the one who receives the Venustic Initiation; this is a very special grace; one needs first to have sacrificed himself for humanity.

Annie Besant commits the error of supposing, and even affirming, that the Inner Christ, the Child God, the Savior, incarnates in the human being when he attains the first initiation of Major Mysteries.

Annie Besant wishes to see in the first five initiations of Major Mysteries the entire cosmic drama: birth, growth, death, and resurrection of the Christ.

Annie Besant commits the error of confusing the five initiations of fire with the Venustic Initiation.

It is necessary to know that the Christ cannot be incarnated in the intellectual animal; it is urgent to understand that the Christ, our Lord, can only be incarnated in true human beings, and that it is impossible to attain this state of authentic human being without having first passed through the five initiations of Major Mysteries.

Only after having passed through the five initiations of Major Mysteries, and as a grace, prior sacrifice for humanity, can the Christ be incarnated in us.

As is above, so is below. At the dawn of creation, the sexual fire of the Third Logos makes fecund the womb of the Great Mother, the primordial substance.

The second part is performed by the Second Logos, the Cosmic Christ, incarnating himself in the worlds that are being born, so that all beings may have life and have it in abundance.

In the microcosm-human being the event repeats itself; the first to intervene is the Third Logos, fecundating the chaotic matter contained in the semen and in the spinal column, fecundating the divine Mother, Akashic principle, so that the interior universe may be born — the solar bodies; then the Second Logos is born within those Superior Existential Bodies of the Being, to work in the Great Work of the Father.

As is above, so is below; as is below, so is above. The cosmic events that develop in a solar system are repeated in the atom. The great events that occur in the genesis of any galaxy are also repeated in the microcosm-human being.

It is necessary to work first with fire and then with light. It is indispensable to work first with the Third Logos, in the ninth sphere, and then with the Second Logos.

The first five initiations of Major Mysteries are microcosmic Cosmogenesis; the fire makes fecund the chaotic matter of the divine mother so that our solar bodies may be born; then comes the best, the intervention of the Second Logos, the Venustic Initiation, prior sacrifice for humanity.

It is indispensable to know, it is urgent to understand that the Venustic Initiation has seven esoteric grades.

First: Birth in the manger of the world. The Inner Christ is always born full of love for humanity, in that interior manger we carry within ourselves, inhabited unfortunately by the animals of the passions, by the pluralized I.

Second: Baptism of the initiate in the etheric world, Christification of the vital body.

Third: Transfiguration of the Lord; the Inner Christ resplends in the head and in the sidereal face of the astral body of the initiate, as the face of Moses resplended on Mount Nebo.

Fourth: Entry into Jerusalem amid palms and festivities, Christification of the mental body of the initiate.

Fifth: The sacred cloth of Veronica, on which the face of the Master is engraved. Christification of the human soul or body of conscious will.

Sixth: Christification of the spiritual soul (Buddhi); formidable cosmic events in the Buddhic consciousness which unfortunately were not written in the four Gospels; events of the cosmic drama intimately related with certain occurrences of other planets of the solar system.

Seventh: The Master is crucified and delivers his spirit to the Father, amid lightnings, thunders, and earthquakes.

The woman always seals the sepulcher with a great stone, the philosopher’s stone that symbolizes sex (the struggle against Satan was terrible).

In rigorous synthesis, these are the seven grades of the Venustic Initiation. About each of these seven grades enormous volumes can be written.

The Christ, our Lord, will always be born within the humble individual stable of every prepared initiate.

The mother of the Lord has been, is, and will always be the Divine Mother Kundalini, the fiery serpent of our magical powers.

The kings of intelligence, the three magi, the true geniuses, will always recognize the Lord and will come to adore him.

The child will always see himself in great dangers; Herod, the world, the tenebrous, will always wish to behead him. The baptism in the Jordan of existence will be indispensable; the waters of life cleanse, transform, 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 Lord will come to us walking upon the raging waves of the sea of life. The Inner Lord will always establish order in our mind and restore to our eyes the lost light.

The Interior Lord will always multiply the bread of the Eucharist for nourishment and strength of our souls.

The Adorable, incarnated in the initiate, will preach in the highways of this great Jerusalem of the world, delivering to humanity the message of the new era, and his face crowned with thorns will, again and again, be forever engraved on the cloth of Veronica.

In the consciousness of the initiate there will always be formidable cosmic events, and amid lightnings and great earthquakes of the soul, the Lord will always deliver his spirit to the Father, exclaiming: “Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit,” and after lowering the body to the sepulcher, the resurrection will be repeated after three and a half days.

The solar myth has two aspects: the first represents the cosmic activity of the Second Logos at the dawn of every new world born from the womb of the Great Mother. The second aspect comes to sum up the life of every sacred individual who becomes an incarnation of the Second Logos, the Cosmic Christ.

The hero of the solar myth has always been presented in all times as a Man-God, and his life develops and unfolds in accordance with the career of the Sun, which is the cosmic vehicle of the Solar Logos.

In the past, in ancient times, the birth of Mithras was always celebrated with great rejoicing at the winter solstice.

Horus, divine spirit, son of Isis and Osiris, in old Egypt of the Pharaohs, was also born at the winter solstice.

No one knows with exactness the precise date on which Jesus of Nazareth was born. There existed 136 different dates assigned to the birth of Jesus. The Gnostic initiates resolved with utmost wisdom to fix the date of the birth of Jesus for December 24 at twelve at night — that is, for the first minutes of the 25th of the same month.

In every solar myth, the Divine Savior, the Inner Christ of every sacred individual, is always born from the womb of the Immaculate Virgin, the Divine Mother Kundalini; this reminds us of the Child Sun of December 24 or 25, advancing, being born, walking toward the north at the moment when the constellation of Virgo, the Immaculate Virgin, shines resplendent at the zenith. Always the Sun, always the Cosmic Christ, in the cosmos or in the human being, is born from the entrails of the Cosmic Virgin Mother.

Buddha is born of a virgin called Maia-Devi, in accordance with the cosmic drama wisely understood by the Chinese initiates.

The death and resurrection of the Lord, at the spring equinox, is as widely spread as his birth at the winter solstice.

At such epoch Osiris died at the hands of Typhon, and he was represented with arms outstretched as if he were crucified.

At that epoch the death of Tammuz was mourned each year in Babylon, and in Syria, at that epoch of the spring equinox, there were also many sacred lamentations; then they wept for Adonis, not only in Syria but in Greece also.

In Persia the death of Mithras was celebrated at the same epoch of the spring equinox.

In all the schools of mysteries the entire solar career was represented in dramatic form, from his birth to his death and resurrection. The initiate identified his life with the solar drama and became in fact a solar individual.

The Venustic Initiation is for true human beings, not for women; no woman can ever attain the Venustic Initiation.

The highest grade a woman can attain is that of Celestial Virgin, which corresponds to the state of Buddha.

When a woman wishes to attain the Venustic Initiation, she must disincarnate and reincarnate in the body of a man.

In these times, in the valley of the Nile, in Egypt, that great being who was called Mary, Mother of Jesus of Nazareth, is incarnated in a man’s body.

H.P.B., the wise theosophical author who wrote the six volumes of the Secret Doctrine, is preparing herself to reincarnate in a man’s body, because she wants to attain the Venustic Initiation.

What we are saying should not disenchant women; every woman who works in the lighted forge of Vulcan, every woman who works in the ninth sphere, can fabricate her solar bodies and become a living Buddha, a virgin of Nirvana, with power over fire, the airs, the waters, and the earth.

The Venustic Initiation is another matter; it is only for true human beings, but any virgin of Nirvana can reincarnate in a man’s body to attain the Venustic Initiation.

Each time the Solar Logos must come into the world to initiate a new era, he incarnates in a human being duly prepared for the Venustic Initiation.

There exist twelve saviors. This means twelve Avatars who correspond to the twelve zodiacal signs. The mission of each Avatar is to initiate the epoch of activity corresponding to the sign which humanity is about to enter.

Aries, Taurus, etc., had their corresponding Avatars.

There exist twelve saviors, through whom the living Christ expresses himself.

The incarnation of the Solar Logos in the manger of the world is a formidable cosmic event.

Just as in every nascent world the incarnated Christ has to make his way through the terrible vortex of the untamed jungle, surrounded by every class of dangers, so also the Child of Gold of sexual Alchemy, the Inner Christ born in every sacred individual, must make his way, must grow and develop among the animals of the manger, among the animals of desire, surrounded by every class of dangers and adversities.

Unfortunately, in the beginning the initiate has not yet dissolved the I; the animals of the inner stable are alive; the initiate has not attained perfection, even though he be already a Buddha, and the child must grow and develop among all these adversities.

In the worlds that arise into existence, the Christ develops, is crucified, dies, and is resurrected in the entrails of all that is created so that all creatures may have life and have it in abundance.

In the initiate who attains the Venustic Initiation, the Christ must be born, grow, die, and be resurrected to work with utmost intensity in the great work of the Father.

When Jesus was resurrected from among the dead, the Sacred Scriptures relate that he was for eleven years speaking with his disciples, teaching them the 24 mysteries from which are born the 12 saviors of the world.
