DEDICATION
I dedicate this course of Esoteric Education to humanity, and very especially to all those disillusioned with schools, religions, lodges, and sects; for them this course of Intimate Self-Education and true practical knowledge.
There are two kinds of Wisdom: The Doctrine of the eye and the Doctrine of the Heart. The Doctrine of the eye is for those who content themselves with spiritualist theories, and the Doctrine of the Heart is for the authentic Initiates. To the Doctrine of the eye pertain all the members of the so-called spiritualist schools, and their concept is as variable as the opinion of those who write. To the Doctrine of the Heart we all the Masters of the Universal White Brotherhood pertain, for within it are enclosed the primeval truths of the Unique Wisdom; the one comes to us by means of Deduction, and the other by means of Intuition; the one is produced by the Intellect, the other by the Inner Master; the one is human, the other is Divine.
The Doctrine of the Eye strengthens the Mind, for which reason the Mind-Matter is the dwelling place of desire: it thinks, reasons, analyzes, draws conclusions, and leads to erroneous action; it wants to resolve everything by itself, without taking into account the Voice of the Inner Master. The Inner Master does not analyze, nor reason, nor discourse, but his voice is the Voice of Intuition. The Doctrine of the Heart opens the doors of the hall of Wisdom.
The schools have already given what they were to give; the centers of wisdom became halls of business, each with its little tyrant who forbids his adepts and followers to launch themselves in search of knowledge; here the prohibitions, there the excommunications and threats, and always they go on leaving for tomorrow: now the password, the amulet that saves, the non-plus-ultra… of the secrets that no other school possesses. And these eager followers wait for centuries, hardened partisans.
We do not want idolaters of masters, nor are we interested in followers. We are signposts; so do not become attached to us, because our labor is not proselytizing. We indicate with logical thought and exact concept the path to follow, so that each one may reach his Inner Master, the one who dwells in silence within each of you. We inform you that wisdom belongs to the Innermost, and that the Virtues and Gifts are not a matter of poses or feigned meekness, but they are terrible realities that convert us into powerful and gigantic oaks, so that the gales of thought may break upon our firm personality; the threats of the tenebrous ones; the envy of the little tyrants, and the contumely of the wicked.
This course is for all the rebels of all the schools; for those who do not temporize with masters; for the nonconformists of all the beliefs; for those who still have something of manhood and have in their heart a spark of love.
We are not interested in anyone’s money, nor do we get enthusiastic about fees, nor about classrooms of brick, cement, or clay, because we are conscious attendants of the Cathedral of the Soul, and we know that Wisdom is of the Soul. Flattery wearies us; and praise should only be for our Father who sees in secret and watches over us minutely.
We are not in search of followers; we only want each one to follow himself, his own Inner Master, his sacred Innermost, because this is the only one who can save us and glorify us. I follow no one; therefore, no one should follow me. Human beings lavish human wisdom, and our Father the Bread of Life, the truth that shall make you free. He who follows Him becomes the leader of himself and a blessed one.
We want no more comedies, no more farces, no false mysticisms and false schools; now we want living realities, to prepare ourselves to see, hear, and touch the reality of those truths. Let us wield the Sword of the Will to break all the chains of the world, and let us launch ourselves intrepidly into a terrible battle for liberation, because we know that salvation is within the human being…
Forward, victors! Warriors, to the battle!
AUN WEOR
Chapter One: OBJECT OF THE ZODIACAL COURSE
There are very many readers of the books of Master Aun Weor who, after reading the works “The Perfect Matrimony” and “The Revolution of Bel,” address themselves to him in solicitation of the practical and certain manner to go out in the astral body, for the practice of sexual magic, communication with the planetary geniuses, and, in sum, many other longings that stir among the hundreds of readers. The Master, desirous of offering more effective help to all those students who aspire to obtain a practical knowledge of esotericism, has prepared this Zodiacal Course, in his desire to correspond not only to the need of those students who today demand this practical teaching, but also in fulfillment of an aspiration of the Venerable White Lodge, so that the light may reach those who desire it, and so that an adequate nucleus may be formed in these moments when the darkness inundates our planet and the era of Aquarius approaches.
Effectively, the astral field was forbidden to the majority of humans, and we are scarcely now at the dawn of the entrance to this new world for the human being. Previously, the great secrets of initiation were known by means of the system of internal meditation; this knowledge of perfect meditation took very many years so that, by means of it, the great chosen ones might be prepared to make contact with the astral field. Today, meditation continues to be the book of the Gnostic, and the great truths are reached by this means; the students of esoterism can enter the astral field, availing themselves of their radiant body, which must be filled with light by means of sexual magic and perfect chastity, and then learn to go out consciously to act within the astral body with full knowledge of the matter, bringing back the memories of all that is verified and executed in said field.
The astral world is more effective for acquiring wisdom and practical knowledge, because said body is freed from time and distance. Furthermore, in the astral field is where the battle between the columns of Angels and demons, of light and darkness, is verified.
In this course, to all the students who aspire to the knowledge and perfection of the internal personality, a detailed and minute esoteric discipline is delivered, which may serve as positive and practical orientation, to arrive at the very altar of initiation. For the first time in the course of the ages, the grandiose mystery of the “seven degrees of power of fire,” or the seven igneous serpents of the seven bodies, which through the seven portals lead us to the ineffable bliss of Nirvana, is uncovered (these great initiations or portals are nine, but the two remaining ones are already Macrocosmic).
This course teaches the development of all the powers that man has, by means of a very detailed and minute esoteric discipline, and prepares the student for the new era that approaches: Aquarius, which will be a totally spiritual era.
In the dark age that is ending, humanity has known the most repugnant modalities of sex, but in the coming age it will know the divinity of sex, because it will have purified itself. The Pisceans now are horrified at sex because they degraded it and made bad use of it, but the Aquarians will bless it, because they will learn to honor sex and will verify that divinity acts through it.
This course is short, but truly transcendental, because it converts men into Gods. In it the most terrible secrets of the cosmos are delivered to humanity…
We know that the forces of evil will go against it, but to serve humanity truly, one must constitute oneself as a redeemer of it, although we recognize that humanity does not like redeemers; that is why, when someone practices the good, one will always hear it said: “He who undertakes to be a redeemer dies crucified,” and it is that humans do not like redeemers… We do not fear the attacks of the tenebrous ones, because we know that the legs of the thrones of the masters are made of monsters, and all the sacred objects of the temples are sustained upon animal-like pedestals… Each degree that is won is the result of a terrible battle against the black lodge, because the battle is waged against evil, but the warrior is rewarded after the battle.
We respect all life, because we know that within every living being dwells the real being who is evolving, and that the form or characteristic that he represents comes to be a mental creation that he himself has formed. If we take any animal and strip it of its bodies — material, vital, mental, astral, and so on — there remains a little man or divine spark, who would immediately complain and ask why his bodies are being taken from him. This is the man of fire or the divine monad that progresses, evolves, and develops in the midst of all experiences. The animal forms are, therefore, simple mental creations of the sons of fire; pictorial forms of their dreaming images made flesh, blood, and life…
The true student is not he who stops for the Master to teach him or to show him what is taught here, because we speak of what we see, hear, and touch in the suprasensible worlds; thus those who want proofs, let them seek them for themselves in the lesson of Gemini.
We warn the disciple: He with whom one must be sincere is with oneself. When man gives proof that he is just and upright, he becomes a power. To be a power does not mean to be a potentate, because the latter are dominated even by a cigarette butt; they are slaves of vices and desires.
The process of initiation is a whole series of terrible battles against oneself, against Nature, and against the world…
Suffocate the passions by means of the will, and then strangle them, even though it hurts you in raw flesh and the beast protests…
One must sink into the darkness of oneself to take the light from it…
The light is extracted from the darkness. The darkness produces the light, and the cosmos comes out of chaos…
In the Chaldean-Egyptian epoch, when people spoke of the Masters, everyone pointed to the stars, because all human beings saw the stellar geniuses and could converse with them.
In the Greco-Latin epoch, this was no longer so, because humanity had already lost clairvoyance and only kept the memory of the superior entities.
With Aristotle, the era of reason begins, which now ends, because the new Aquarian era will be one of intuition. Nevertheless, Aristotle still remembers the planetary geniuses. A great part of the work of Aristotle is justly consecrated to remembering the spirits of the planets and rising through the stellar spirits up to the universal God.
Kepler, illustrious German astronomer and great mathematician, still preserved reminiscences of the sidereal geniuses, but later modernism ended those reminiscences, until finally, in the year 1604, a constellation totally erased all the memories of the sidereal geniuses, and then Copernicus appeared, celebrated Polish astronomer, who demonstrated the double movement of the planets upon themselves and around the sun — a theory which was later condemned by the Church as contrary to the Sacred Scriptures, on the grounds of seeing purely physical globes and celestial mechanics.
Thus, the era of reason, which begins with Aristotle, now ends, because reason is only a state of historical transition between instinct and intuition. First man had instinct, then reason, and now intuition comes as a divine function.
Instinct is the negative pole of intuition, and intuition is the positive pole of instinct. Consequently, reason was only a state of transition between instinct and intuition.
By means of this course, man may recover again the lost heritage and return to seeing the sidereal geniuses.
Steiner prophesied in 1912 that a higher spiritual science would come than the one then known: that new spiritual science is the message of Master Aun Weor.
This teaching, which Master Aun Weor today orients and directs, links together East and West, Buddha and Christ, giving it a new aspect by means of loving magic, the woman being the new vestal of the divine temple where love officiates as priest.
Today we see how the East has developed the powers of the Inner Master, but the powers of the personality are lacking. The Westerner has developed the personality, but the development of the Inner Master is lacking; in the total development, and in the union of both, lies the triumph of the spirit, in this great cosmic evolution…
With these teachings the development of the powers of the personality is obtained, and also the powers of the Inner Master; East and West are linked together to form a vigorous culture, and then the woman comes to be the center of union where the two great cultures converge, which will offer man the safe path to arrive proudly at the sublime altar of initiation, to begin the life of the gods…
The personality we here emphasize does not refer to the satanic powers of the lower self or to the animal soul; therefore, it is not a matter of the external characteristics of the physical body, of that personality which today admires the culture of this 20th century — that is, the possessions a person has.
The personality to which the Master alludes is the purified ego of the Innermost, the human soul or superior manas, the Bodhisattva of the Inner Master, together with the animic extracts of the inferior vehicles — that is, the pure soul already redeemed… The beautiful Shulamite of the Song of Songs.
Humanity follows the path of evil, because this one has no obstacle; the vices and pleasures smile at it with enchanting attraction. The world only loves those of the world, the worldly; the world wants no dealings with those who separate themselves from it. Public opinion has come to constitute a wall of defense for evil. Public opinion is kneaded with the errors of each of its followers. Tyrants love evil and defend it, because they govern and command with evil; we love good and command, but with humility.
Today the good of another mortifies people; on the other hand, the evil of another pleases them, and they even divulge it with enthusiasm. Each one believes in his own way; the criterion is accommodating; reason belongs to whoever appropriates it and to the strongest; the personality depends on the possessions the person has; the truth is synonymous with evil, and the one whom they wish to offend in order to make them truly upset, supposedly they “sing the truth” to.
The truth must be proved with witnesses, because no one accepts it; on the other hand, falsehood slides upon wheels, and if it is slanderous, then it cheers the perverse. I consider that he who repeats a slanderous report is more perverse than the very person who engenders it, because the latter may be moved by hatred or envy, while the other does it for pleasure, as a faithful disciple of evil. And to think that all these shades of daily life find lodging in the centers where the Living God is venerated.
In what does your spirituality consist, if you live united with the shadows? Or do the spiritualists of the classroom believe that to be one is to have a “rubber spine” to make genuflections and thus conquer a place in the clique or the titles that the master grants for their adherence? Thus is created the fanaticism that hinders, and the breeding grounds of cowards are formed. Against all this social scaffolding one must wield the sword of fire!
True wisdom is not found in books, but within the heart. Goethe’s Faust grows tired of reading the wisdom of books, and when he comes to himself, he finds himself old and ignorant; he becomes disillusioned with life, which the genius of evil — Mephistopheles — takes advantage of, to offer him his artificial wisdom, which Faust accepts because it offers him pleasures and riches, but later disappointments and sadnesses; for the wisdom of human beings always ends up seeking pleasure. The greater the degree of intellectuality in man, the greater the degree of moral degradation; with this it is proven that the intellect is a function of the animal soul.
In this era now ending, all the sects, schools, beliefs, theories, and so on, fulfilled a very necessary mission as elements of intimate education for humanity, but the Era of Aquarius will be something very different and will have nothing to do with the various lodges and halls of teaching that are currently in use, because it is understood that the human type of Aquarius has already taken these school courses, and that consequently he not only no longer needs them, but they will moreover be an obstacle or hindrance that incapacitates him from thinking freely and from receiving esoteric instruction from his own Inner Master, who is his sacred Innermost.
The students of Gnosis are warned that, upon entering the path, they are forbidden to speak of their initiations and of the degree attained; these great mysteries are profaned when they are spoken of publicly; besides, this is vanity, pride, and ostentation.
“On a certain occasion the disciples of Christ entered into dispute about which of them would be the greatest — that is, which would be of higher initiation or esoteric degree.”
“But Jesus, seeing the thoughts of their heart, took a child and set him by him.”
“And said to them: Whoever receives this child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, receives him who sent me; for he who is least among you all, this one shall be great” (LUKE 9:47-48).
The initiate must be as simple and pure as a child, without vanity, pride, or ostentation, nor must he speak of his initiations, because this is something very sacred and we are forbidden to speak of it.
This course will only serve those thirsty for light, those humble of heart, not the wise, because they are already satisfied with their knowledge and their science, and we do not seek the wise, but those who are not.
The student must practice the teachings given in this course and bear in mind that we are not interested in the wisdom of the eye, but in the doctrine of the heart; consequently, he must scrutinize and launch himself into the battle against evil and then conquer heaven by assault.
“But woe to those that are pregnant and to those that nurse in those days, for there shall be great distress upon the earth and wrath upon this people” (LUKE 21:23). It has been said, dear reader: Animal reproduction pertains to animal life and consequently to the past, and he who remains in reproduction remains a laggard or disintegrates. We are then before the dilemma of being or not being.
To Nature, the slaves sing! And to the Gods, the supermen of humanity…
We have already grown weary of being donkeys of reproduction (begetters), and now we transmute the sexual energy to free ourselves from Nature and to become Gods…
Homer, the singer of old Troy and of the Wrath of Achilles, whom the Greeks represented with bandaged eyes to indicate his divine clairvoyance, paints for us Ulysses, the illustrious warrior, destroyer of citadels, reaching the island of Calypso, where the cruel Goddess Circe converted men into pigs, after they drank the liquor of mandrakes that the astute Goddess presented to them in her enchanting cup.
Here, with this Goddess, Homer represents to us Nature, which with her delicious and enchanting cup of carnal passion converts men into pigs, until at last a Ulysses arises, who unsheathes the sword of will, places it upon the breast of the enchanting Goddess, breaks her delicious cup, and becomes master and lord of her…
Thus must the Gnostic be; one must wield the sword of will to break the cups of seductive temptation and become lord of the tempting Goddess…
One must unsheathe the sword of will to fight against Nature and dominate her; one must sit on the throne of the Gods and seize the scepter of power of the sexual energy, the staff of the patriarchs, the rod of Aaron, the staff of Brahma, to govern all of Nature and place her at our service.
The common run of men loves the natural; we love the supernatural — that is, what is above Nature, which is our sacred Innermost. When we wage the battle for Nirvana, to win the ineffable bliss of Nirvana, we must always follow the Innermost, the Inner Master, beginning with this the terrible struggle for supremacy over the disciple; the external personality wants him for itself, the external personality of his friends and relatives, of his spouse and children, and of society in general, also desire him; this is the struggle against the world and the flesh of which the Bible speaks when it refers to the enemies of the soul; and it is that to save the soul one must free oneself from all that attracts the animal self: greed, anger, and lust.
One must wield the sword against friends and against enemies, against the good and against the evil, against the parents, against the woman, and against the children, against the world and against Nature. One must wage a terrible battle against everything, to break these chains that bind us to Nature and to enter the ineffable bliss of Nirvana. This does not signify aggression against anyone, hatred against anyone; this signifies only to conquer Nature and to fight against temptation, come from whence it may…
The Christ, speaking of this, said thus: “Do you think that I have come to earth to give peace? No, I tell you; rather, dissension.” “For from now on five in a house will be divided, three against two and two against three.” “The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against his father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law” (LUKE 12:51-53).
With these verses of Saint Luke, urban life is not alluded to, as many neophytes understand, but the terrible battle for Nirvana. The common run of people aspires to conquer urban life, dividing one against another, and we aspire to conquer Nirvana for ourselves, and in this terrible battle against Nature, if we do not conquer Nature, Nature then conquers us and devours us: this is the terrible battle for the being or non-being of philosophy.
The human state cannot be prolonged for an indefinite time, as many semi-spiritualists and profane ones mistakenly believe, in order thus to arrive at the end of the present Mahamvantara, because we are fetuses of the great Goddess Isis (Mother Nature), and just as it is impossible to remain beyond nine months as a fetus within the mother’s womb, it is also not possible to remain gestating within the womb of the great Mother Nature for an indefinite time; and now Mother Nature must give birth to human beings as Angels or as demons. Precisely we are already in the instant when Mother Nature gives birth to us as Angels or as devils, but she inevitably gives birth to us.
Angels are not gestated nor formed with papers or theories, nor with old books, nor with parchments of nobility, but with the same sexual forces with which are formed: plants, animals, men, and Gods, and all that exists in creation. All that is created has its womb! The Gods are gestated within the womb of the Goddess Isis, where a life of intense Sexual Magic is lived…
Gnostics, make no more offerings to death! Each child born is one more offering on the altar of death.
There are two kinds of sexual acts: the common and ordinary animal one, which humans defend, sword in hand; which creates for death… The other, divine, which we, the followers of the light, also defend, sword in hand; which creates Gods.
The human follows Javhé. The Divine, Jehovah. “Of every tree of the garden you may eat. But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day you eat of it, you shall die.” This is the divine plan. The other said: “If you eat of it, you shall be as gods.” This is the disobedience of the law that humanity follows with enthusiasm.
They censure us harshly for speaking clearly of the sexual forces, and precisely those who are horrified are the fornicators, not knowing that they themselves were enclosed within a womb to be gestated as humans; they are horrified at their origin because they are ashamed of their own corruption and try to cover that shame with shades of mysticism and of philosophies. Brother reader! From the apparently unclean come forth: men, plants, beasts, and Gods. The perfume of the roses comes from the mud of the earth.
From the womb of the woman comes forth the human species. And within sexual magic the Gods are gestated.
He who knows the genesis of the Angels makes himself an angel also, and the genesis of the Angels is sexual magic.
The Gnostic is an embryo of God, developing within the womb of sexual magic. When the embryo of God has reached its full development, then Mother Nature gives birth to him as a master of the Mahamvantara. As an omnipotent son of fire.
JULIO MEDINA V.
Esoteric Zodiacal Course
For the students of Gnosis
March 21 — April 20
If we take any animal and strip it of its bodies — material, vital, mental, astral, and so on — there remains a little man or divine spark, who would immediately complain and ask why his bodies are being taken from him.
Chapter Two: ARIES
Beloved disciple:
Upon entering these studies of Esoteric Astrology, I must give you some previous instructions that may serve you as positive orientation in these classes.
In the stellar nucleus of every Sidereal Sun, of every planet, of every lunar satellite, of every comet, there always exists a “heart-temple” which is the sacred dwelling of a Sidereal Genius, and thus we have that all the infinite is a system of hearts, and for that reason Esoteric Astrology comes to be the Religion of Light and of the Heart.
Each of our planets has its Sidereal Rector:
Gabriel is the Rector of the MOON.
Raphael is the Rector of MERCURY.
Uriel is the Rector of VENUS.
Michael is the Rector of the SUN.
Samael is the Rector of MARS.
Zachariel is the Rector of JUPITER.
Orifiel is the Rector of SATURN.
These are the 7 Spirits before the throne of God. As we already said, each of them dwells in a heart-temple, and for that reason Esoteric Astrology comes to be the Religion of Light and of Love.
These are the 7 Angels who divide among themselves the government of the world in 7 distinct epochs, for all the history of the world is summarized in 7 epochs. The 7 Planets are the strings of a divine lyre on which resounds, with its most ineffable melody, the word of the Creator.
The whole Solar System comes to be the celestial body of a Great Being: the “Logos” of the Solar System, the “Ineffable.” The Solar System, seen from afar, looks like a man walking through the ineffable Infinite. The 7 Spirits before the throne come to be, let us say, his ministers, and the rectors of the Cosmic Evolution of this Solar System.
Now, you know that every wheel has its axis, and for that reason you will understand that in the center of every mass resides the base of movement.
Mass can only be dominated from its center, and the center of every mass is the Spirit; for that reason we affirm that in every sidereal center there exists a Heart-Temple which is the dwelling of the Genius of the Star, and it is precisely these Celestial Genii who are the authentic governors of the Infinite, and the regents and lords of our own human destinies.
The Profane Astrologers will tell you that, for example, a quadrature of Saturn with Mars brings you a catastrophe, or that an opposition of Venus and Mars, an amorous failure, and so on, but those forecasts of Profane Astrology can fail, even though the mathematical calculations are exact, because the Sidereal Forces are not blind forces.
Those Forces are precisely the Rays of the Planetary Genii, and these lords may modify all human events, even though the horoscope be full of quadratures and oppositions. So the Astrology of Arithmetic is not exact; for which reason I consider that one cannot be an Authentic Astrologer without being a Theurge Alchemist. Iamblichus, the Great Theurge, invoked the Planetary Genii and materialized them in the Physical World to converse with them, and it was by means of them that he performed his great marvels.
Theurgy, or Divine Magic, can only be exercised through the “Innermost” of the “Theurge,” and the Innermost is our Spirit, our “Higher Self,” our Angel. It is also very true that Nature is a great alchemical laboratory, where essences exist and events of every kind combine.
In the Schools of Internal Instruction we are made to learn these golden rules:
“The Lion of the Law is fought with the balance.”
“When an inferior law is transcended by a superior law, the superior law washes the inferior law.”
The absolute understanding of these two golden rules allows us to annul the disastrous effect of all the quadratures and oppositions of our personal horoscope. This means that by means of these golden rules we can kill Karma and triumph in life. Engrave these two golden rules well in your mind, for in the coming lessons I will teach you to manipulate their formulas.
This course of Esoteric Astrology will convert you into Theurges and Alchemists, and will develop in you all the Occult Powers, and then you will learn how to make yourselves invisible, how to invoke and materialize in the Physical World the Planetary Gods to converse with them; how to kill Karmas, and the secret art of triumphing in life by means of certain mysterious formulas that will allow you to manipulate the Sidereal Rays for your own ends and to help others. Now, to end this preamble of our present lesson, I tell you that on the portico of every Sidereal Temple there exist two columns: one White and one Black. The column on the right is called “Jachin,” and the column on the left is called “Boaz.”
You must also know, good disciple, that beside each column there is a Guardian. The Guardian of the right column has the Rod of Justice between his hands, and that of the left has a Book between his hands. Jachin and Boaz are the two passwords that will allow you to enter the Heart-Temple of each Star, to manipulate Rays and provoke events in the Physical World.
Dear disciple:
We now enter fully into our esoteric teachings of the Constellation of Aries. This zodiacal sign governs the head, and is the house of the Warrior Mars; its metal is Iron, its stone is the Ruby, its nature, Fire. The natives of Aries are therefore of warrior nature; they grow angry strongly and, since they possess great Martian energy, feel themselves capable of embarking upon great enterprises and of bringing them to a good end. Commonly they are not happy in love, for the easy irritability they possess leads them to upsets and conjugal separations.
During this sign, the disciple will have to charge his head with Light to awaken his Pituitary and Pineal Glands. In these two little glands resides the power of Clairvoyance. Both little glands are united by an extremely fine canal, already disappeared in corpses, and when both intermix their Luminous Auras, man becomes clairvoyant, and then perceives all the marvels of the subtle World. He will know all the secret thoughts of men and women and will be able to see the Sidereal Gods and converse with them.
Who could hide a secret from him? An Illuminated Clairvoyant is full of Light and of Fire.
The exercises of this sign are the following:
Practice
Let the disciple sit in a comfortable armchair, and for five minutes remain without thinking of anything.
Then, pray to the Innermost thus: “My Father, you who are myself, you who are my true Being, I beseech you to transport yourself to the Principal Star of the Constellation of Aries, so that you may bring to this humble house the Principal Genius of that Constellation, in order that he may heal my brain and awaken all the Occult Powers of my head.”
Then, the disciple with hands interlaced upon the heart, will make a small bow saluting the Guardian of the right column, inhaling deeply, like a sigh, and immediately pronouncing the password: Jachin. Then he will make the same salute to the Guardian on the left, and will pronounce the word: Boaz. Afterwards he will pray again to his Innermost, thus: “My Father, take the 7 sacred steps inward, toward the interior of the temple, and prostrate yourself at the feet of the Principal Genius of Aries, begging him to come to awaken the powers of my brain and to inundate my head with Light.”
Then, the disciple will pronounce the mantram AOM. This mantram is pronounced opening the mouth well with the vowel “A,” rounding it with the vowel “O,” and closing it with the letter “M,” thus: AAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM.
This mantram is pronounced 4 times with the intention that the light may inundate our whole brain. Then, the disciple will stand up; will extend his right hand forward, and will move his head 7 times forward, and 7 times backward; 7 turning it to the right side, and 7 turning it to the left side, with the intention that the Light may inundate and act within all the glands of the brain.
The Pineal Gland is influenced by Mars, and the Pituitary Gland by Venus. The Pituitary Gland produces sleep, and the Pineal incites us to struggle; and in this manner, while Venus wants to sleep, Mars wants to continue fighting.
During this sign, the disciple must daily vocalize for one hour the vowel “i” thus: iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.
This vowel will make your Pineal Gland vibrate, and you will at last become Clairvoyant. The Pineal Gland, developed, converts us into Supermen, and atrophied, converts us into idiots. It is developed in the chaste, and atrophied in the fornicators. So if you, good disciple, wish to become an Angel, you are totally forbidden all coitus.
The Pineal Gland is the Window of Brahma: a fount of accumulation for the Magus, and the disciple must practice, before going to bed, every night, this other exercise:
Sit in a comfortable armchair for half an hour. Close your eyes. Withdraw from your mind every thought. Then imagine that the Fire of the Constellation of Aries descends from Heaven and penetrates in Igneous Columns through your Pineal Gland. This gland is situated in the upper part of the brain, and in it resides the power to see the Ultra of all things.
If the disciple performs with tenacity and constancy the exercises of Aries, he will become an Illuminated Clairvoyant. During these exercises the disciple will be assisted by the Hierarchies of Aries, and they will awaken his Powers and heal his brain with special treatments. Also the disciple may use the power of those Hierarchies to heal others.
Aries is the house of Mars, and Mars is the planet of war. The Red Hierarchies of Mars gave man the Astral Body; Samael is the Supreme Chief of the Astral Plane; he and his warriors. By meditating daily on the Tattva Tejas, we actualize the Powers of the Astral Body. The Tattva Tejas or Igneous Ether is the causa causarum of every flame. The Astral Plane is the Burning World.
Fraternally, the Master of your class: AUN WEOR.
April 21 — May 20
Theurgy, or Divine Magic, can only be exercised through the "Innermost" of the "Theurge," and the Innermost is our Spirit, our "Higher Self," our Angel.
Chapter Three: TAURUS
Beloved disciple:
In the past lesson I promised to give you the keys of these two golden rules.
“The Lion of the Law is fought with the Balance.”
“When an Inferior Law is transcended by a Superior Law, the Superior Law washes the Inferior Law.”
The solution of these two golden rules is found in a third that says thus:
“Do good works that you may pay your debts.”
Now, imagine a balance: in one plate are your good actions, and in the other your bad actions and your corresponding Karma. If the Karmic plate tips against you, then you can combat it by placing more weight on the plate of good actions, and thus you will tip the balance in your favor, and thus you will kill Karma.
In the subtle world there exists a Temple of the Lords of Karma, and the Great Chief of these Archons of Destiny is the “Jackal.” This Great Being is the Supreme Judge of the Cosmic Tribunal; he has the presence of a great man with the head of a jackal.
When we have capital accumulated in the Cosmic Bank, we pay our debts and avoid pain. Those who daily live making “new deposits” in the Cosmic Bank will always have with what to pay their old debts. In this matter of paying debts, the Law of “Analogies” and of correspondences must be taken into account. Karmic analogies are combated with Dharmic analogies.
Karma and Dharma: these two oriental words mean Punishment and Reward. In more philosophical form we would say bad Action and bad Consequence, and good Action and good Consequence, and by modifying the causes the effects are modified, for the effects are nothing but the causes reproduced in another form. They are going to imprison you. Give freedom to another! They are going to take a son from you! Heal your neighbor. Are you in misery? Give what you have left to the hungry, and sacrifice all your efforts on behalf of others. Pray in supplication to the Lords of Karma, and you will be heard.
Do not forget, beloved disciple, that Justice is the Supreme Piety and the Supreme Impiety of the Law. Thus, I have already taught you the two golden rules, and have explained to you how Karma can be killed. In the coming lessons I will teach you to handle the Sidereal Rays.
“He who has, receives, and the more he gives, the more he receives: that is the Law.”
But those who only do the works of evil shall be victims of their own works.
Why do people suffer? Why do they blaspheme against God, if God is not guilty of human sufferings? We ourselves are the creators of our destiny. Sanctify yourselves, beloved disciple, sanctify yourselves.
There are three eternal things in life: THE LAW, NIRVANA, AND SPACE.
Now, let us enter the explanations and practices of the Constellation of Taurus. The procession of stars that form the Constellation of Taurus is house of Venus, the ineffable star of love, the evening star of the Dawn, and therefore Taurus is of Venusian nature. The Taureans are therefore of Venusian and amorous nature. They love much in love, and always pass through great disappointments.
The Taureans are meek and laborious as the ox, which symbolizes that group of stars, but also are sometimes “aggressive” as the bull. They are tenacious and gluttonous, romantic and sensual. They love music, dance, and beauty. They have disposition for every kind of manual arts. Taurus rules the larynx and the neck. The larynx is also a sexual uterus where the word is gestated. The sexual organ of the future Divine Humanity will be the Creative Larynx.
The Sexual Fire of the Kundalini becomes creative in the word. Already in our works titled “The Perfect Matrimony,” “The Revolution of Bel,” and the “Treatise of Occult Medicine and Practical Magic,” we speak amply of the Kundalini and teach the Great Arcanum or Supreme Secret to awaken the sleeping princess of the Kundalini.
The word is intimately related to the 4 Elements of Nature, and for that reason in the Ancient Temples of Mysteries the Initiates were forbidden to speak of the old catastrophes of ancient Arcadia for fear of bringing them again into existence. The Ancient Hierophants knew too well that the word is related to the 4 Elements of Nature, and that to speak of a catastrophe is as much as to evoke it again. For that reason the Ancient Initiates never spoke publicly of the archaic cataclysms. A harsh word pursues us and falls later upon the one who pronounced it, like a ray of vengeance.
One does not only fornicate with the sexual act: There is another kind of fornication with the word. The bad use of the word is also fornication: The fornication of the word creates larvae and misfortunes. It pains us to see how people abuse the word and fill the world with pain. Slander is the worst of blasphemies.
One must realize in oneself the perfection of the word and of language. One must understand the responsibility of the word. One must learn to handle the Sexual organ of the Verb.
Do you not feel the need to learn to handle the Verb? Hear me, beloved disciple, we the members of the Sacred College of Initiates can create anything with thought and materialize it by means of the word.
Take great care not to mention names and surnames. When you must give some account, never mention names or surnames, because that is slander.
If you are a philosopher, combat “theories,” but never speak of the private life of their leaders. When one speaks of a leader, speak of his doctrine, but never mention his private life. Each one is each one, and no one should care about the private life of others.
“It is as bad to speak when one should be silent, as to be silent when one should speak.” There are times when speaking is a crime, and there are occasions when remaining silent is also another crime. “There are criminal silences, and there are also infamous words.” One must speak when one must speak, and be silent when one must be silent. One must realize in oneself the perfection of the Verb. One must realize in oneself the Wisdom of the Word.
People have lost the notion of sincerity. Today, human words no longer carry the substance of sincerity, and people suffer from lack of sincerity. Today, human words are full of lies and hypocrisy.
Do you know what lying words are? Lying words engender monsters.
Have you ever seen the birth of some monstrous child? That is the Karma of the false word pronounced in former lives. We admire very much the substance of sincerity. To our White Island no liar could ever come.
We have arrived, in this course, at the Constellation of Taurus. This sign governs the neck, and here a new struggle between Venus and Mars is repeated. Venus governs the Thyroid Gland, and Mars governs the Parathyroid. It is an eternal struggle between Venus and Mars. While some glands give saliva, others dry it up. This struggle is verified throughout our whole organism. Venus is related to love, and Mars to war. The Astrologer must learn to handle the twinkling of the stars.
Do you know of some home where bitterness reigns? Do you wish to serve disinterestedly? Do you know of some poor woman abandoned in misery by some gallant? Do you wish to help her? Hear me well, beloved disciple, that I am going to teach you to handle the Twinkling of Venus:
Sit in a comfortable armchair.
Close your eyes.
Withdraw from your mind every earthly thought, and focus your thought on your Inner Master, praying thus:
Prayer
“My Father, you who are myself, my true Being, I beseech you with all my heart and with all my soul, to enter into the “Heart-Temple” of the star of Venus so that you may prostrate yourself at the feet of “Uriel” and ask him for the following favor”:
(The desired favor is asked for.)
Then, the disciple, mentally saluting the Guardian of the Right Column, will make a deep sigh and pronounce the password “Jachin.” Afterwards he will do the same with the Guardian of the Left Column and pronounce the password “Boaz” — that is, first, the deep sigh, then he will pray to his Inner Master, saying:
“Lord, take now 7 steps toward the interior of the Temple so that you may make the supplication. My Father, my Lord, my God…”
Once the supplication has been made, with all the heart one asks “Uriel” for a Choir of Angels to perform the work. (They create by singing.)
If the Angel of Venus grants your petition, the Choir of Angels, who are his children and who dwell with him in the Temple of the nucleus of the Star Venus, will begin to sing in “Sacred language” to do the work that we have asked. This is how the Army of the Voice creates by means of the Verb.
Any profane observer, if he observes the sky in those instants, could see the Planet Venus shining and resplendent in an intensified and rare form. The observer would simply remain astonished, contemplating the original twinkling of Venus in those instants.
The indigo-colored Hierarchies of the Star of Venus gave us the Causal Body or Body of the Will. They grant what we ask, when “Karma” permits it. But, if the supplication is not granted, then Uriel will show the disciple “the Clock of Destiny,” and in this case no other recourse remains than to bow our head before the verdict of the Law.
There exists in the current world a great quantity of schools that try to perform these same “miracles” by means of Mental Force, without counting on the approval of the Lords of Destiny at all. That is simply pure and legitimate Black Magic. The Mind-Christ works well with the Law. The Black Mental Waves do not arrive where they are sent, because in the Subtle World there exists a multitude of “Aerial Elementals” that trap them and intercept their passage. Also there exist in space innumerable Forces that deviate or disintegrate the destructive mental waves. Thus, the Tenebrous waves can only do harm when the victim does not know how to love nor to forgive.
Mental Force is absolutely deficient when it does not work with the Force of the Innermost. The Theurge uses Mental Force, but uniting it with the Innermost; that is the Christic Mind. The Theurge only works with the Divine Powers of his “Inner Angel” and of his Mind-Christ. The Holy Masters of the White Brotherhood collaborate with the Theurge and with his Mind-Christ. The Sidereal Genii perform their miracles with the Ray of Justice when the Theurge officiates at the altar of the “Lion of the Law.”
Now let us enter the exercises of Taurus.
During this month the following practice is performed:
Practice
Prayer
Let the disciple sit in a comfortable armchair. Close his eyes, withdraw from his Mind every thought, fall asleep a little, and then focus his Mind, inward, toward the Innermost, praying thus:
“My Father, transport yourself now to the Principal Star of Taurus, enter through the doors of the Heart-Temple making the salutes that you already know, and beg the Sidereal Genius of that star and his Angels to deign to come to me, so that they may ‘prepare’ me and heal my larynx.”
Then, the disciple, having fallen asleep, imagine seeing the Light accumulated in his head descending now to the throat, while pronouncing the word A.O.M. With the vowel “A” he imagines the Light descending from the head to the throat; with the vowel “O,” he will imagine the Light inundating the throat; and with the vowel “M” the disciple will exhale the breath as if expiring the dross that resides in the throat. This mantram is pronounced 4 times.
I must warn my disciples that the salutes, as I described them when I spoke of Venus, together with the passwords “Jachin” and “Boaz,” apply to all the Stars of the Sky.
Thus, the Genii of the Constellation of Taurus will come personally to awaken the Powers of the larynx, and if the disciple has any “laryngeal” illness, he may ask these Genii of Taurus to be healed, and they will heal him. The disciple may also take advantage of these powers to heal others.
The disciple should vocalize daily for one hour the vowel “E,” thus: eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
The vibratory sound of this vowel will awaken the Power of the Occult Ear. The vowel “E” makes the Thyroid Gland vibrate, which is the Center of the Magic Ear. The vowel “E” also develops the clairvoyance of the mental body. The vowel “E” makes the Mental Body vibrate and gives us Conceptual Synthetism and the Power to penetrate the intimate sense of words.
Fraternally, the Master of your class: AUN WEOR.
May 22 — June 21
The Theurge only works with the Divine Powers of his "Inner Angel" and of his Mind-Christ.
Chapter Four: GEMINI
Beloved disciple:
You have already practiced the exercises of Taurus; now, we enter the brilliant Constellation of Gemini.
This sign governs the arms, lungs, and legs, and is of essentially Mercurian nature.
Gemini is house of Mercury. The metal of this sign is Quicksilver. The stone is Beryl Gold, and the color, Yellow.
The Lords of Mercury are already teaching humanity to travel in the Astral Body. The disciple must inevitably learn to travel in the Astral Body. The authentic Schools of Mysteries are found on the Astral plane, for that reason it is necessary that the disciple learn to “Go out” in the Astral Body. There is need that the student learn to enter into those Sanctuaries of Internal Instruction to receive direct instruction from the Masters of the Great White Lodge.
The time has come when the students must learn to enter at will into those “Sanctuaries” of the Astral to receive direct teaching from the Great Instructors. The hour has come to abandon theories and to go directly to practice.
The Lords of Mercury help everyone who requests help.
In the future era, man will no longer be enclosed within the body as in a dungeon. The human body will be converted into a comfortable and luxurious Temple. Man will learn to enter and leave it whenever he wants.
Mercury is currently coming out of a Cosmic Night, but as time passes, the cosmic effects of the twinkling of Mercury will be felt ever more intensely.
It is also indispensable that the disciple learn to “enter” through the doors of those “Sidereal” Temples in the Astral Body. The main exercises of Gemini have the object of learning the use and handling of the Astral Body. We also teach in this sign to our disciples the secret art of the “Jinas” states, which will allow them to “carry” their Physical Body to the most distant and remote places on earth in a few instants. We will give various keys in numbered form:
Let the disciple lie down in his bed in a horizontal position. Relax his body so that no muscle puts pressure on the Astral Body. Fall asleep pronouncing the mantram Rusti, thus: ruuuuuuusssssssssstiiiiiiii.
This mantram is pronounced mentally. The disciple must become in those moments a “spy of his own sleep.”
When the disciple finds himself already in that state of drowsiness or somnolence that precedes sleep, let him rise from his bed and leave his room. Let the student not be concerned about his Physical Body in those moments; rise from his bed and leave his room. How? In what manner? Almost all students suppose that this is a practice of magnetism or of autosuggestion, and so on, but they are lamentably mistaken, for this is not a matter of practicing autosuggestions or hypnotisms; simply to rise from his bed, that Nature will do the rest. She will know how to separate the Astral Body from the Physical Body. The disciple only needs to rise and leave his room, and Nature will do the rest.
Now outside his room, the disciple will give a small jump with the intention of floating in space, and if he floats, he may then transport himself to the Gnostic Church in a few seconds. But, if he does not float, let the disciple get back into his bed and repeat the experiment. Some triumph immediately; others take months and even years to learn. But the “tenacious” one at last triumphs.
Within the brain of every living being there always lives, resounding in an almost imperceptible form, a Key Note. That Key Note is that of the Ray to which each one pertains, and seems to come out of the cells of the cerebellum. Some will hear the sound of reed pipes and flutes of the Egyptian Ray; others will hear the “gong” of the Oriental Ray; others the roar of the sea, of the Lunar Ray, and so on.
If the disciple silences all his thoughts in the calm of the night, he will hear his key note; then, let that note be made to vibrate more strongly by means of the Will, and when the note is so strong that it invades and semi-paralyzes the whole Physical Body, let the disciple rise from his bed, leave his room, and go to the Gnostic Church, that there the masters of the White Brotherhood will receive him with unparalleled joy.
If you are dreaming that you find yourself in a certain place, and you awaken, then do not move; fall asleep again, with your imagination placed on the mentioned place, feeling yourself again there and trying to continue the dream just as it was going, while with your Will you “cling” to that place of the dream. Imagination and Will united in vibrant harmony is the key of this clue.
While you are falling asleep, concentrate intensely your Imagination and your Will, united in vibrant harmony, on a determined site or place. The concentration must be perfect, and then start walking with “faith” through the “imagined” site. You must not imagine that you are imagining yourself, because then the experiment will fail. One must feel oneself really in the imagined place and totally forget the bedroom.
This experiment must be performed during the state of transition from waking to sleep, and once there in that place, kneel down and ask your own Inner God to take you to the Holy Gnostic Church, which is the great Cathedral of the Soul, and the Temple where the Solar Logos, our Lord, the Christ, officiates.
Bearing in mind that during ordinary sleep the Soul wanders through all the familiar places or sites, and that in a state of drowsiness it is occupied with the same labors and concerns of the day, you must accustom yourselves during the whole day to ask yourselves: “Where am I? Am I inside the body, or outside of it?” Then you will give a small jump with the intention of floating. It is logical that, if you float, it is because you are outside the body, and if you do not float, it is because you are in flesh and blood, and continue your way. But if you do happen to float, beg your Innermost to take you to the Holy Gnostic Church.
This question is to be asked in the presence of something that draws your attention, like a tumult of people, a funeral procession, a curious object, and so on. Many have awakened their Consciousness with this formidable key, because upon asking the question they floated in the air and realized that they were outside the body and that they had left the body asleep in the bed. “For when the body sleeps the Soul wanders.” But the Soul may come out of its unconscious drowsiness by means of this key. You must accustom yourselves during the day to this practice, so that it may be engraved in the Subconscious and act during sleep.
Before falling asleep in your bed, you will perform the following practice of autosuggestion:
“I am going to sleep. Wherever I appear now, it is because I am in the astral body. I will recognize myself, I will recognize myself, I will recognize myself, and I will go to the Gnostic Church.” You may make this autosuggestion to yourselves for half an hour and then fall asleep tranquilly.
In the Astral, you will recognize yourselves mathematically, and at the time of awakening, do not move, and do a retrospective exercise to remember where you were.
Fall asleep pronouncing the mantram: Omnis Baum Igneos. Thus:
Ommmmmmmmmmm.
Niiiiiiiiisssssssss.
Baaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmm.
Iiiiiiiiiiigneeeeeeeeeooooooooooosssssssss.
Spelling out the mantram and prolonging the sound of each vowel, and asking your Innermost to take you out of the body. Then rise softly from your bed, and floating in space, go to the Gnostic Church.
These are the 7 keys to travel in the Astral Body. It is urgent that the Theurge learn to travel to the other Stars of the Infinite and that he learn to enter through the doors of the Sidereal Temples to manipulate Rays, and provoke Cosmic Twinklings.
When the Theurge “goes out” of the Physical Body, he transports himself to the Sidereal Temples in the following manner: The Astral Body begins to walk in the form of concentric circles, with the intention of arriving at the Heart-Temple of a certain star. The panorama of things changes, and in a few instants, the Theurge is in the presence of the Sidereal Temple, and of the Guardians of the Columns “J” and “B.” The Theurge will make the salutes of rigor just as we have already taught in the preceding pages, will take the 7 steps toward the interior of the Heart-Temple of the Star, and then will prostrate himself at the feet of the Sidereal Genius, placing his knees on the floor of the Temple, his hands on the floor, and his head on the back of his hands.
Then he will stand up and make the Sidereal Genius the supplication he wishes. If the Genius says: “granted,” the disciple asks for “Coro,” the Genius will make a signal, and the Army of the Voice will begin to sing in Sacred Language to perform the “work that we have asked.” The Army of the Voice creates with the word. In these sublime moments we enter into ecstasy. All Nature kneels before the Sidereal Gods, and their ineffable chant elevates us to the Pleroma of the Light.
The most divine and moving melodies saturate the Infinite Spaces, and the waters of the rivers murmur in silence “so is God.” It is impossible to describe in those moments of happiness in which the unfettered Soul is found…
There the past and the future fraternize within an eternal “now,” and then we feel the Voice of the Blessed One who, from the deepest depth of our Being, invites us to the “Eternal Wedding.”
When the disciple already has practice in Astrotheurgy, then the Sidereal Gods accept him as a Layman, and give him a gray-colored tunic and a rod. It is the tunic of the Esoterist Astrologer. It is the ineffable tunic of the Theurge. It is the tunic of the Authentic Alchemist, and as he progresses in his wisdom, he receives different degrees.
There the disciple will learn to combine the most diverse alchemical substances to produce different events in the various Cosmic planes.
One is overwhelmed at contemplating those Children Genii of the Stars, working in the Alchemist Laboratories of their Temples to provoke the most diverse events of the physical plane.
SAMAEL: the worker of Iron, working in the forges of Mars.
ANAEL: the Genius of Love and Art, within his Laboratory of Love, looks like a child of 12 years, with his blond hair and rosy face in the Star of Venus.
MICHAEL: indescribable and ineffable, from the Heart of the Sun governing creation. A dreadful abyss leads to the Heart of the Sun. Who among you has the courage to descend into that abyss, in whose depths beats the life of the Solar System?
RAPHAEL: the Genius of Mercury. He looks like an old man with a long beard and fiery-colored face. He has the trident of the transformative atoms in his hand, and there, within his Temple of Mercury, he looks like a terrible Monarch making the Cosmic Mind tremble. Who would dare to disobey his sacred orders?
And who is that other one of white tunic and white cape before whom the columns of Angels and Demons tremble? Behold him there in the Temple of Jupiter, giving the scepter to the kings and directing the economy of men; before that Genius the tyrants tremble; he is: ZACHARIEL, the Genius of Jupiter.
In the center of the pale Moon is the Temple of GABRIEL, the fisherman; he directs the life of the seas and the tears of women. Do you wish to learn to make yourselves invisible? Call him night after night to “prepare” your body; have GABRIEL as a daily devotion. A well-”prepared” Physical Body is the most extraordinary instrument for the exercise of Practical Magic. A well-prepared body can become invisible. In a well-prepared body neither bullet nor dagger enters.
And what shall we say now of the Old Man of Heaven, the Lord of the Law, the old ORIFIEL? Ah, Saturn! You are the Sword of Justice that reaches us from Heaven! In your hand is the life and estate of all humans. Hear me well, disciple, always choose the planet with which you are going to work.
MARS: is Warrior.
VENUS: Loving.
MERCURY: Wise.
SATURN: Melancholic and “concrete.”
THE MOON: Maternal.
THE SUN: Directive.
JUPITER: Lord of the High Personages.
Never enter any of these Dwellings without first knocking on the door.
Black Magicians assault the Mansions of Heaven. The White ones knock first on the door. The door of every Star is the Heart-Temple. Intruding visitors enter the stars like thieves in another’s house.
The Sons of Light enter through the door of the Heart-Temple.
The Sons of Light first ask permission of the Lord of the House, to know his Dwelling.
The Heart-Temple of a Star is the door of entrance and exit of the Star.
Our Earth also has a Heart-Temple; that Temple is the Dwelling of the Genius of the Earth; through it the visitors of other Stars enter and leave.
Do you know who the genius of the Earth is? He is our Lord the Christ.
Our Earth is a small star of blue color, pertaining to the Milky Way.
“In my Father’s house there are many dwellings.”
Each Star of the Sky is a Dwelling, and the door of every Celestial Dwelling is the Heart-Temple.
When you invoke “outside” the body an inhabitant of another planet, you will see him come out from the Earth, and at parting with you, you will see him sink into the depths of the Earth. It is that he has entered and left through the door of the interior of the Earth.
You may also invoke your Physical Body from afar: you will kneel on the ground and pray to the Innermost, thus: “My Father, bring my body.” Then, your Innermost will bring you the Physical Body. The atoms of the Physical Body will say to you: “I am your Physical Body, do you not know me?” You will be amazed when you see your own Physical Body face to face and in sleeping garb, just as you left it in bed. Then order the Physical thus: “Jump on my head and penetrate through my Pineal Gland.” The Physical Body will obey, and you will remain with the Physical Body in any remote place on Earth. If someone were to enter your room in those moments, he would not find you. He would find your bed empty.
It is indispensable to take the Physical Body to the Gnostic Church every Friday and Sunday, at dawn, to receive in flesh and blood the Holy Gnostic Unction. You may also take the Physical Body from the bed itself, without the need to invoke it from afar. Fall asleep vocalizing the following Mantrams: MIÑA PICA FRASCO. Then rise from your bed very slowly and preserving sleep. Then give a small jump, and if you see yourself as plump and float, then leave your house and head for the Gnostic Church.
The Forces of the Subconscious enter into activity during sleep, and it is precisely those powerful energies that allow us to “enter with the Physical Body into the Astral World.” This is what is called the State of “Jinas.”
The sublime Guru Huiracocha, Master Arnoldo Krumm-Heller, speaks to us in his Rosicrucian novel of the States of “Jinas”; the wise Krumm-Heller describes Commander Montenero receiving from the hands of an “usher” or servant a note. Commander Montenero sighed and said: “at last.” Then he left the castle of Chapultepec and, going round on the road of the mountain of Chapultepec, whistled several times. Then an indigenous man led Commander Montenero up to the Temple of Chapultepec. “Is this a phenomenon of the Fourth Dimension?” asked the commander. “Yes, my commander, the vulgar do not realize these things,” answered the indigenous man. Thus, with the body in the State of Jinas, was how Montenero received his Initiation.
All the works of the illustrious Krumm-Heller (Huiracocha) are a well of Initiatic wisdom that very few have understood. Now his son Parsival Krumm-Heller has remained with us, who sincerely rejoiced with us when he studied our works titled “The Perfect Matrimony” and “The Revolution of Bel.” Parsival faithfully follows the wise path of his father.
In the “Zodiacal Course” of Huiracocha is enclosed the most profound Initiatic Wisdom of the centuries.
Gemini is the sign of Air and house of Mercury.
The Lords of Mercury gave man the Buddhic Body, or Soul-Spirit.
The Hierarchies of Mercury are the Yellows or Gold-Yellows.
Gemini, or the sign of the Twins, reminds us of the Twin Souls. The first woman that man knew in Eden is his Twin Soul. The Twin Souls, life after life, keep meeting each other. They leave Eden together and must return to Eden together. When Karma separates them, they suffer the unspeakable. The true Happiness of marriage is only possible between two Twin Souls.
When the marriage is not realized with the Twin Soul, it is a Karmic Marriage and one suffers the unspeakable.
The natives of Gemini are of firm will; possess great courage, are versatile, and like to travel. Their lives are a mixture of successes and failures. Sometimes they live in comfort, and for periods they must endure much misery. They are very intelligent and become irritated easily. The defect of the natives of Gemini is wanting to resolve everything with the head. They always want to silence the wise Voice of the Heart, and then they create problems and difficulties of every kind.
The practices of Gemini are the following:
Practice
Let the disciple lie down in his bed horizontally; relax his body and take five inhalations of air with the intention that the Light may now penetrate his bronchi and lungs. He will open his arms and legs with each inhalation, and close arms and legs with each exhalation. Then, seated in a comfortable armchair, beg his Innermost to transport himself to the Constellation of Gemini, so that he may bring the Sidereal Gods of those Temples, in order that they may prepare his organism for Practical Magic.
Fraternally, the Master of your class: AUN WEOR.
June 22 — July 23
Many have awakened their Consciousness with this formidable key, because upon asking the question they floated in the air and realized that they were outside the body and that they had left the body asleep in the bed.
Chapter Five: CANCER
Dear disciple:
You have already studied and practiced the lesson of Gemini. Today we enter the Constellation of Cancer.
Through your studies you have realized that we Gnostics are essentially practical. We frankly do not like to spend life theorizing; we go straight to the point, we are weary of so much theory. We are essentially “Realists.” We want facts, not theories nor morbid intellectualities. We like effective realities. We aim toward the great realizations.
All spiritualist schools speak to you of the Suprasensible Worlds, but we go further, because we are more practical. We teach our disciples to enter those worlds in the Astral Body, and even with the very body of flesh and blood, in a totally conscious and positive form.
This of entering with the Physical Body into the Ultrasensible Worlds seems strange to the theorists, because they only know how to theorize; but to the comprehending ones it does not seem strange — for that is as ancient as the world. In times not remote, the Physical Body unfolded and developed within the Astral World, so then what?
After this short preamble, let us enter fully into our present lesson of Cancer.
Cancer is the house of the Moon.
Its metal is Silver, its stone the Pearl, and its color White.
The Moon influences the Thymus Gland, which regulates the growth of the human being.
The Moon influences all the milky juices of all living species.
The Moon adjusts the procreation of all that lives.
The Moon governs the sap of vegetables and the flow and ebb of the seas.
The Moon has power over Salt, and Salt is the base of all that lives. Within our organism there exist 12 Salts, which are the 12 Salts of the 12 Zodiacal Signs.
Cancer is the sign of the Sacred Scarab.
Cancer is the sign of reproduction. Fetal conception is verified with the Rays of the sign of Cancer, and for that reason it is the sign of the Sacred Scarab.
In Egypt, the Sacred Scarab symbolizes the Soul. The Reincarnating Souls pass through the Sphere of Cancer before taking body.
Cancer produces the illness that bears its name.
Cancer is the Karma of the fornicators.
The Moon is the symbol of a Secret Planet that is behind it.
The Violet Hierarchies of the Heart-Temple of the Moon gave man the Vital Body.
The Moon is inhabited on the side that is not seen. The Selenites are the most vulgar and laggard beings of our Earth: they had to be locked up there. Almost all the inhabitants of that lunar population are women. Those beings are neither good nor bad, but only “laggards.” As they evolve, they are given a body again here on our Earth, and at last they will all have it again. There also exists another small Moon, called Lilith by the astronomers. Lilith is the Black Moon. There go the souls that have already totally separated themselves from their Higher Self formed by Atman-Buddhi-Manas.
Those Souls are of indescribable perversity, and there they must pass through the Second Death to which the Apocalypse refers, of which Christ spoke to us. H.P.B. alludes in her 6th volume of the “Secret Doctrine” to the Avitchi and to the Second Death.
The “Bhagavad Gita” also speaks to us of the Abyss, but it was enough that we spoke of that theme for the spiritualists of Colombia to laugh at us.
I have never said that my physical person occupies itself with locking up the perverse Souls in the Abyss. That would be an absurdity, for I am a man like anyone else: those powers only God has. Marvels of that class are only performed by “Atman,” the Great Universal Spirit of Life; “Alaya,” the Super-Soul of Emerson, the Great Soul of the world. These marvels have only been performed by my Inner God, my “Purusha,” my “Higher Being,” my Innermost, my Inner Master, my Monad, my Inner Angel, before whom I must kneel, because He is “Atman,” the Ineffable.
This can also be done by the Inner God of any of you, because “Atman” is the Omnipotent and Ineffable.
Masters there are many, but the “Soul-Master” is one: the Soul of the world, the “Divine Alaya” that seems as many. Aun Weor is the authentic name of a Flame of the Great Bonfire, before which I must prostrate myself. Aun Weor means “Will of God,” and it is the Will of God that has done that work. Thus, when we speak of Avitchi, we do not say anything new; almost all the best spiritualists comment on it, describe it, cite it — then what?
The spiritualists are abysmal at “Atman,” the Great Universal Spirit of Life, acting through one of His “Flames” to fulfill a Cosmic Mission. They are surprised, yes — for ignorance in its daring simplicity is a beggar-go-between, with whom one cannot have pulchritudinous contact! Where is the Wisdom of all those simpletons who criticize me? What has become of them?
The Avitchi is a very old theme: even Doctor E. Adoun (Mago Jefa) himself speaks to us in “The Bush of Horeb” of the Second Death. So then what?
Anciently the Personalities totally separated from the Divine Triad (Atman-Buddhi-Manas) remained in the Avitchi of our Earth. (See the 6th volume of the “Secret Doctrine” of H.P.B.)
Today the times have changed: we are initiating the New Era of Aquarius, and the Personalities already separated from their Divine Triads must be isolated from this terrestrial globe, to cleanse the atmosphere of all evil. That is all. If this is cause for mockery on the part of the classroom spiritualists and the occasional readers, whose fault is it?
When the bridge called “Antakarana,” which communicates the Divine Triad with its “lower self,” is broken, then the lower self remains separated and sinks into the Abyss of destructive forces, where it disintegrates little by little; it is the Second Death of which the “Apocalypse” speaks to us; that is the state of Consciousness called “Avitchi.”
In these cases the Divine Triad (Atman-Buddhi-Manas) is clothed with a new Mental and Astral Body to continue its evolution, and the discarded personality is submerged in the state of “Avitchi,” amid the most unspeakable sufferings.
All the moons of the Solar System are governed by Jehovah, but our terrestrial satellite is governed directly by the “Angel Gabriel.”
The Magician must take careful note of the Lunar Influences, because all the sidereal Energies crystallize in our terrestrial globe through the Lunar Forces.
All that is begun in Waxing Moon progresses rapidly.
All that is done in Waning Moon fails.
The New Moon is very weak, and the Full is very strong and serves to successfully perform every kind of works of Practical Magic.
The last day of the Moon signifies: miscarriages and failures…
Always do your businesses in Waxing Moon, that you may triumph.
Hitler hurled himself upon Russia in Waning Moon, and failed.
When within a halo of the Moon a star shines, it is a sign that a general is besieged by enemies.
The Moon produces flow and ebb of the sea.
The Moon produces high and low tides.
The Moon attracts and repels the terrestrial magnetism.
The Magician must “prepare” his body for the exercise of Practical Magic. The body of the Magician is different from that of others, because it is prepared.
Exercise
Sit in a comfortable armchair; close your eyes; withdraw from your Mind every thought; focus the Mind on your Innermost, and pray thus: “My Father: you who are my Real Being, I beseech you, Lord, to enter into the Heart-Temple of the Moon so that you may bring me the Angel Gabriel. Make the salutes, my Lord… Amen.” Then turn to the Four Cardinal Points, make the following invocation of the Angel Gabriel; blessing the North, South, East, and West:
Invocation
“Thirteen thousand rays the Sun has, thirteen thousand rays the Moon has, thirteen thousand times be repented the enemies that I have.”
The disciple will ask the Angel Gabriel to prepare his body to become invisible, or to transform his face, to stop the bullet or the knife in a moment of danger, or to materialize any superior entity. Iamblichus, the Great Theurge, made the Sidereal Gods visible in the Physical World, because he had his body well prepared.
The Angel Gabriel will treat the spleen occultly, and certain centers of the spinal column, of the disciple. When the disciple can make the Angel Gabriel visible and tangible in the Physical World, it is because his body is already “prepared.” Then, in a moment of danger, he will make the invocation of the Angel Gabriel, and if the disciple wishes to become invisible, the Angel Gabriel will erase him from the sight of the enemies, or transform his face if the disciple demands it. The invocation will always be made blessing the Four Cardinal Points.
These exercises of preparing the body are practiced throughout life. The Theurge can make the Sidereal Gods visible in the Physical world, when he has the body well prepared. This requires patience and constancy, because nothing is attained as a gift: everything costs struggle and sacrifice.
The Forces that descend from Heaven, upon arriving at our “Thymus” Gland, meet with the Forces that rise from the Earth through the organism, and there, in the “Thymus” Gland, the two triangles of the Superior and Inferior Forces interlace to form the Seal of Solomon.
Practice
Sit; imagine this marvelous encounter of the Cosmic Forces forming the Seal of Solomon in the Thymus Gland, and sunk in profound Internal Meditation, ask your Innermost to enter the Sidereal Temple of the Principal Star of Cancer, so that he may bring you the Principal Hierarchies of that Constellation, in order that they may awaken your Internal Powers and treat that gland. Vocalize the letter “A” one hour daily.
The Cancerians are peaceful, but at times too choleric. They have disposition for the manual arts, are very sensitive, and their character changes with the lunar phases. Things go well for them on long journeys. They are romantic, loving, and very tenacious.

Masters there are many, but the "Soul-Master" is one: the Soul of the world, the "Divine Alaya" that seems as many.
Chapter Six: LEO
Dear disciple:
Today we have entered the Constellation of Leo. Leo is the Heart of the Zodiac, and the Throne of the Sun.
Leo is the Abode of the sons of the flame, whom the Bible calls “Thrones.”
Leo is the house of the Four Kumaras.
Leo is the house of the Sun, and governs our Heart.
Just as the Sun is the heart of the Solar System, so also the human Heart is the Sun of our organism.
The Forces that, in the form of a triangle, descend, and those that rise from the Earth, meet in the Heart, and mix and are redeemed, forming the Seal of Solomon. The Heart is the Sacred Chamber of the Blessed Divine Mother of the world. There the ineffable princess of the Kundalini, “Hadit,” the Winged Serpent of the desert, arrives.
The Cross of Initiation is delivered to us in the Heart-Temple.
The Kundalini is the laboratory where the Heart works.
The Fires of the Heart serve as control for the Spinal Fires. Kundalini rises according to the merits of the Heart. The Kundalini evolves and progresses within the Aura of the Solar Logos.
The Heart is the most sensitive organ of our organism. Within the fine membranes of the Heart are registered even the most distant seismic movements of the world.
The Heart is the Sacred Temple of the Inner Master. The Inner Master speaks to us in the form of Heart-promptings. If man would obey those Heart-promptings, he would live without problems. Man rebels against the Voice of the Inner Master, and creates problems for himself.
Within us there are two men who live in eternal struggle: one against the other.
In us there is a Celestial Man and an Animal Man.
The Animal Man wants to resolve all things on his own account and to act as best seems to him.
The Celestial Man speaks in the form of Heart-promptings; his voice is the Voice of the Silence; and his acts are always upright; and create Happiness.
The Animal Man is the Mind, which resides in the head with its Seven Portals.
The Celestial Man is the Inner Master.
The Master commands and the Mind does not obey him; she wants to resolve all things on her own account and to act as best seems to her, without taking into account at all the orders of the Inner Master. As a consequence of this, pain and bitterness necessarily arise, which are the result of mistaken action and of useless effort.
Blessed are those who move only with the Voice of the Silence; to them bread, shelter, and refuge will never be lacking; they will live without problems and will have blessedness.
Coachman, dominate well the unbridled colt of the Mind, so that it does not hurl your chariot into the Abyss.
The Inner Master is the Lord of the heart, the Inner Master is the Innermost. The Inner Master is beyond the will and far beyond the Consciousness.
The Inner Master is the Divine witness, seated on the throne of the Heart Temple.
The Inner Essence of the Master is Absolute Happiness and unlimited Omniscience.
The Inner Master is “simple.” All else is compound.
Eternal Nature lives changing, but the Inner Master is immutable, and for that cause the Master can free Himself from Nature.
Nature casts her shadows upon the Master, but the Inner Master is beyond all shadows.
When the Soul fuses with the Inner Master, then it frees itself from Nature and enters into the Supreme Happiness of Absolute Existence. That state of Happiness is called Nirvana.
To Nirvana one arrives through millions of births and deaths, but one may also arrive by a shorter path, and that path is that of “Initiation.”
The Initiate reaches Nirvana in a single life, if he so wishes.
“Narrow is the gate, and strait the way that leads to the light, and very few are those who find it.”
There exist Seven Initiatic Sanctuaries in the Astral World, and if the disciple wishes to progress on this path, he must seek a Master.
“When the disciple is prepared, the Master appears.”
“Beware of false prophets.” Do not accept external Masters of the Physical. Learn to go out in the Astral Body, and when you are already practical in the astral, choose an authentic Master of Major Mysteries of the White Brotherhood, and consecrate to him the most absolute devotion and the most profound respect.
In the Physical World, you must walk very carefully, for there are many False Prophets. Do not accept external orders from anyone; you must only obey the orders that “we” give you in the Astral World.
There are in the Physical World many Initiates of Minor Mysteries, good and sincere, but as they have not yet fused with their Inner Master, they are also “Living Dead,” and consequently they have grave and most grave errors that may lead the student astray and even cause him to fall into the Abyss.
When we wish to make ourselves recognized in the Physical World by some student, first we will give him “signs” and proofs in the Astral World, but “careful”: live alert and vigilant like the sentry in times of war, because in these times the Antichrist makes signs and deceiving prodigies.
“Be simple as the dove, and malicious as the serpent.”
“Be meek and humble, but when of the Truth it is a question, be Strong in Thought, Word, and Deed.”
The higher you are, the more terrible will be a fall.
Beware, then, of falling, because the disciple who lets himself fall has afterwards to struggle much to recover what was lost.
These rules are very simple, but of terrible importance.
I have known many Initiates of Minor Mysteries who knew and accepted the False Prophets of the Physical World, and then fell into the terrible Abyss.
I teach the student to travel in the Astral Body, so that he may not let himself be deceived. The student who lets himself be deceived is because he does not know how to go out in the Astral Body.
Anyone who tries to ridicule our Sacred Temples and our Sacred Initiations is still a “Living Dead”; do not listen to him, he is dangerous.
There are people who think that one can reach Nirvana without passing through any Initiation; said people are “Living Dead”; they follow the Spiral Path of life, and only through millions of lives and deaths will they certainly arrive at Nirvana. But there are also other “Living Dead” who want to fuse rapidly with their Innermost, and yet try to mock our Sacred Initiations. This class of Living Dead are the most dangerous because they trod the Path, and are “mocking” the Path. “These are the insulters” of Victor Hugo. These are the profaners of the Temple.
To want to fuse rapidly with the Innermost without having passed through the Nine Initiations of Minor Mysteries is as much as to want to be a doctor in Medicine without having taken all the regulatory years of the university, or as to want to be a general without having passed through all the military ranks.
All the Initiations are received in the Temples of the Astral World, but the school is life itself.
During the sign of Leo we must act upon the Heart by means of Meditation. Internal Meditation has three phases:
PERFECT CONCENTRATION.
PERFECT MEDITATION.
PERFECT SAMADHI.
One must concentrate the Mind on the Inner Master. One must Meditate on the majesty of the Inner Master. One must speak with the Inner Master, until hearing his voice and conversing with him ineffable things… This is called “Samadhi.” Concentration is a technique. Master H.P.B. in the “Voice of the Silence” page 17 says textually the following: “Before the soul can hear, the image (man) must become as deaf to roarings as to whispers, to cries of the bellowing elephant as to the silvery buzzing of the golden firefly.”
“Before the soul can comprehend and remember, she must be united to the silent Speaker, even as the form to which the clay is to be molded is first united to the mind of the potter.” “For then the soul will hear, and will remember.” “And then to the Inner Ear will speak — The Voice of the Silence.”
Thus, during this sign of Leo we must practice especially Internal Meditation. I counsel my disciples to practice Inner Meditation in those moments when they feel most predisposed to sleep. You must totally dominate the unbridled colt of the Mind. You must control every possible reaction of the Mind before the things and sounds of the Physical World.
The Inner Master is not the Mind. The Inner Master is not emotion, the Inner Master is not the will; the Inner Master is not the consciousness, not even the intelligence.
The Inner Master is the Divine Witness; the Inner Master is the Being. The Inner Master is the Innermost; for that, sunk in profound Internal Meditation, say: NOT THIS, NOT THIS, NOT THIS. “I AM HE,” “I AM HE,” “I AM HE.”
Be demanding with your Inner Master, he must teach you the most ineffable things. If your Concentration is intense, then you will enter into the marvels of the Cosmos and learn things impossible to describe with words.
During this sign of Leo, vocalize daily the vowel “O” to awaken the Chakra of the Heart. Between the Sun and Mercury, there exists a Secret Planet from which emanates the life of all that pulses in the Physical World.
The Blue Hierarchies of the Sun are the source of all life. The natives of Leo are energetic and kind at the same time, are magnanimous, mystical, and authoritative. They have a tendency to anger and must struggle much to dominate that defect. Leo, being the throne of the Sun, announces fortune and high position. The occult meaning of Leo is Intuition. The metal of that sign is Gold and the stone, the Diamond.
The natives of Leo are authoritative and only want to command.
Leo brings some journeys. Morally the natives of Leo suffer much.

August 23 — September 23
The Inner Master is the Divine witness, seated on the throne of the Heart Temple.
Chapter Seven: VIRGO
Dear disciple:
Today we have entered fully into the Constellation of Virgo, house of Mercury and exile of Venus.
The Ancient Sages divided the Zodiacal Belt into only 10 Signs, for they considered Virgo and Scorpio “esoterically” a single sign.
Virgo, the sign of the Celestial Virgin, and Scorpio, the sign of the Sexual Forces, really together are that marvelous Eden of which the Bible speaks. This is the Paradise of the Virginal Men; this is the Paradise of the Perfect Androgyne. This is the Eden of which the Bible speaks. Eden is sex itself.
“Come to us all of you who thirst, and we will give you to drink of the Eternal Water of life.” “Come to us all the weary pilgrims of life, and we will heal your wounds.”
Children of the Earth! Listen to your instructors, the Children of Fire.
In this delicious garden of Virgo and Scorpio, the Seven Serpents of Fire await you to initiate you in their Great Mysteries.
“Ask and it shall be given you, knock and it shall be opened to you.”
Look! My son! Here is the Seal of the Heart. To those who visit our “White Island,” we will give to drink in three cups, three delicious Arcana.
One is as green as the emerald. It is the Sexual Force of the Virgin-Mother, “Isis,” Nature.
The other is as blue as the sky. It is the Sexual Force of the Realm of the Spirit.
And the other is like the dew on the leaves at night. It is the Sexual Force of the Absolute, Ineffable…
These three Arcana of Eden, we will only give to drink to those who have thirst, that they may awaken their Seven Sacred Serpents. Those who drink of our three cups will never thirst again, and rivers of pure water will flow from their bellies.
Why do the natives of Virgo suffer? Why do they weep? Why are they not happy in love?
Every sin shall be forgiven, except the sins against the Holy Spirit.
The natives of Virgo suffer because in past lives they committed adultery and fornicated. The natives of Virgo suffer great amorous disappointments.
In Virgo, Mercury becomes reasoning. Reason is of the Animal Soul. The Animal Soul is the Mind. The Mind is the Den of Desire.
Desire cannot be killed without drawing it out of its den, of its lair.
Imagine a tranquil lake. If you throw a stone into that lake, you will see a series of waves go out from the center to the periphery; carry that same image to the Mind: you will suddenly see a pornographic image; that image passes from the senses to the lake of your Mind, and then this latter reacts with its waves before the external impact, and its waves then strike strongly our sexual organs, producing the sexual excitation that is consummated in the coitus.
Subjugate the Senses and dominate the Mind so that it does not react before the external impacts.
The den of the Beast of Desire is in the Mind. The great intellectuals are fornicating beings and terribly passional and vicious. They have developed the Mind, and the Mind is the Animal Soul. The great intellectuals have very developed and strengthened the Animal Soul.
When in the Physical World we only move under the direction of the Mind-Matter or Animal Soul, then we create problems for ourselves, we remain prisoners, suffering the unspeakable. The man who only moves under heart-promptings is happy, will never lack bread, shelter, and refuge; will never have problems.
Virgo influences the belly.
The forces that rise from the earth, upon arriving at the belly, are charged with the adrenal hormones that prepare and purify them for their ascent to the Heart.
Virgo works upon the Islets of Largeans, which secrete the insulin so necessary for the treatment of diabetes.
In the “Zodiacal Course” of Master “Huiracocha,” we are taught that during this sign “we should give small ‘little jumps’ to the belly so that the forces that rise from the earth may be charged, in the belly, with the adrenal hormones. The position must be lying down horizontally.”
The fundamental zodiacal exercises that we give here come from the Ancient Temples of Mysteries and, therefore, are not the exclusive patrimony of anyone. However, we must thank the great Guru Arnoldo Krumm Heller (Huiracocha) for having compiled and investigated them, to make them known to us in his marvelous “Zodiacal Course.” During this Zodiacal Course of Virgo, you must vocalize daily the vowel “U” to develop the Telepathic Center of the Solar Plexus, thus: uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu (For one hour daily).
Practice
Sit in a comfortable armchair, focus the Mind on your Innermost, and beg him to transport himself to the Heart-Temples of the Stars of Virgo, so that he may bring to your house the Gods of Virgo, in order that they may awaken your Virginal Powers and heal your belly.
Be sure, dear reader, that the Sidereal Gods will come at your call.
Your Innermost can enter and leave the body whenever he wishes, and for that reason, he is not enslaved in the body.
He will really enter the Sidereal Temples, will make the salutes of rigor just as I already taught you in the first lessons, and will bring to your side the Sidereal Gods who will prepare your body.
The planets move, evolve, and progress within the Consciousness. The Sidereal Temples are within the Consciousness. Man is a Zodiac; within the Consciousness is the Zodiacal Belt. The Doors of the zodiacal Temples are within the Consciousness. The 10 Sephiroth of Kabbalah are the Solar System. The 7 Inferior Sephiroth are the Seven Planets, and the Crown of Kether, Chokmah, and Binah, are the Triune Spiritual Sun.
Those 10 Sephiroth are within us, and we must learn to manipulate them. We must learn to transport ourselves to the various Stars to know the horoscope of persons.
Conversing with the Sidereal Gods, we will know our horoscope, without the need of the so much vaunted Arithmetic Astrology.
Arithmetic Astrology was for the “Dark Age.” Now has come the Age of “ASTRO-THEURGY.”
One must learn the Twinkling of the Stars, manipulating it, to heal the sick. One must learn to work upon the Earth, from the Sidereal Temples. One must learn to work upon the Earth from the 12 Zodiacal Signs.
The Age of Aquarius has already arrived, and a new progeny commands; the Age of the “Super-Man” has already arrived.
The Earth is a small blue star. The inhabitants of other planets of the Solar System, when they are born under the influence of our planet Earth, are Mystics by nature, and love Sacrifice and Altruism. They suffer much in their lives and feel much Love for all that lives; but the Black Magicians of other planets, who only accept the negative vibrations of the blue star called Earth, are extremely perverse and criminal.
Fraternally, the Master of your class: AUN WEOR.
September 24 — October 23
It is the Sexual Force of the Absolute, Ineffable… These three Arcana of Eden, we will only give to drink to those who have thirst, that they may awaken their Seven Sacred Serpents.
Chapter Eight: LIBRA
Dear disciple:
Today we have entered the balancing sign of Libra. This sign is the house of Saturn and Venus.
The planets — Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn — live and pulsate within “our” Consciousness.
The Soul develops and unfolds within this Solar System, which lives in the very depths of our Consciousness.
Between death and the new birth, “Good Souls” must unfold within each of the Planetary Auras, whose mixtures form what all books on spiritualism call the “planes.”
Libra influences the kidneys.
Libra is the sign of the Balancing Forces, and in the kidneys the Forces of our human organism must be brought into total balance.
All the Forces of the Universe live seeking balance, and we must learn the equilibrium of all the Forces.
“You must not mix antagonistic forces, because from such a mixture there arise terribly destructive forces.” Look closely at those who surround you, and do not live in a house with people full of hatred or superficiality, because the mixture of antagonistic forces creates destructive forces for you and for those who live with you. Learn, then, the Force of Equilibrium.
Intellectuals end up as cranks or madmen, because they violate the Forces of Equilibrium.
Imagine a meeting of forces forming an X. If you intensely fix your attention on the center of the forces that form the X, you will obstruct the circulation of those forces, and the result will be the deformation and rupture of the center or nucleus of that X. Now, let us apply this example to the human being. Every human being has a chain of 7 Vehicles, and if we concentrate our attention on the Mind, or Mental Body — which is the center of your X — the result will be the rupture of the Mental Body.
Intellectuals who keep their attention fixed only on the Intellect end up breaking the Mental Body. Almost all intellectuals have their manias, dementias disguised with theories, and eccentricities.
In ancient times man was simpler, and since he did not have the Intellect of the Animal-Soul, he perceived the Subtle World and the Planetary Genii.
The men of old grew spiritually under the influence of the “Great Bear,” and if students wish to Awaken the Consciousness, they must meditate intensely on the Great Bear. That Constellation radiates powerful Spiritual Forces, and man must learn to converse with the Sidereal Genii of that Constellation.
There is a key for transporting oneself to that Constellation. The key is to meditate deeply on a “yellow stone” that exists in the Astral. Practice this in the moments of transition between waking and sleep, and then you will transport yourself in the Astral Body to the largest star of the Great Bear, where a powerful and gigantic civilization exists.
Since the seventeenth century, the Earth has entered a new epoch of spiritual awakening. That awakening will shine in all its splendor in the sign of Aquarius, the future era. The cause of that awakening is due to the influence of the Great Illumined One, “Buddha,” who in the seventeenth century became the redeemer of the Martian humanity, and was crucified on the Forces of Mars to redeem the Martians and to help our Terrestrial humanity with the Buddhic-Martian Forces that now radiate from Mars. In the next lesson we will speak in detail about Buddha-Mars.
Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Orifiel are the Four Lords who govern the Karmic Balance and the Four Winds (North, South, East, and West). These are the Four Angels of the Four Cardinal Points of the Earth. Esoteric Astrology must live within the Law of Perfect Equilibrium.
Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday is the true and legitimate order of the days of the week.
This is the authentic and legitimate calendar that the Roman Catholic Sect adulterated, and which it falls to us to restore, in order to live in accordance with the Law of Equilibrium. The Authentic Week is based on the Law of True Planetary Equilibrium and Order.
We must learn to look with indifference upon the alternatives of pleasure and pain, of gain and loss.
The Bhagavad Gita says: “The Mind that follows the wandering senses makes the soul as helpless as the boat that the wind sets adrift upon the waters.” “Slay sensation, teaches the Sutta Nipata; look the same way upon pleasure and pain, upon gain and loss, upon victory and defeat.”
The natives of Libra should live these paragraphs intensely, in order to transcend pain. The natives of Libra are very skillful at everything, but they suffer greatly in love, for their loves and their lives are as unstable as the balance.
Practice
Stand up with your feet firmly planted and your arms extended out to the sides in the form of a cross, or a balance, and bend at the waist 7 times to the right and 7 times to the left, with the intention that all our forces be brought into balance in the kidneys.
Fraternally, the Master of your class: AUN WEOR.
October 24 — November 22
The men of old grew spiritually under the influence of the "Great Bear," and if students wish to Awaken the Consciousness, they must meditate intensely on the Great Bear.
Chapter Nine: SCORPIO
Dear disciple:
We have arrived at the omnipotent empire of Force and Power. Now we wish to speak only in the language of majesties and of dominion.
Now we wish only to understand the omnipotence of force. This is the kingdom of the terrible Pluto, the Omnipotent Empire of Force and of the Magician. This is the Fiery Abode of the warlike Mars.
Legions of the Earth!
Legions of the Air!
Legions of the Waters!
Legions of the Fire!
Obey us!
Scorpio governs the sexual organs, and in these resides all the Power of the Magician. Scorpio is the house of Mars and of the visitor “Pluto.”
We say visitor because this terrible genius of practical magic does not belong to this Solar System; he is only a visitor who is helping all the warriors of the rocky path.
Within his majestic “Heart-Temple” we see two enormous symbolic “orbs.” Behold him there! His “veiled” face is terribly divine and exhales the Omnipotence of Dominion.
Pluto comes to the Initiate’s call when the Black Forces attack us. Pluto can defend us from the Tenebrous Lords of Black Magic. Behold him there! He has hurled his orb before him, and he comes to the call of a supplicant!
Children of the Earth! Listen to your instructors, the Sons of Fire.
Now, dear disciple, we are going to give you the supreme key of the GREAT ARCANUM. The omnipotent secret of the Kundalini:
The Kundalini awakens through Sexual Magic. In moments of love, when the couple feels ineffable delights, you must connect with your wife sexually, and during this connection pronounce the powerful Mantrams of the Kundalini, just as I received them from the commanding Angel called Aroch.
These Mantrams are the following:
KAN DIL — BAN DIL — rrrrrrrrrrrr.
They are to be vocalized in the form of a chant, prolonging the sound of the vowels and raising the voice on the first syllable of each word and lowering it on the second syllable. The letter “R” is pronounced high and sharp, like the voice of a child, prolonging the sound as if it were the sound of a motor or a mill that has run out of grain, which produces a sharp and thin sound.
Hear it well! These are the most powerful Mantrams known in all the Infinite for awakening the Kundalini.
You may also vocalize them mentally, and withdraw from your Priestess Spouse before seminal ejaculation. Restrained desire will cause your Energy to rise upward, toward the head, and thus you will awaken your Kundalini and become Gods.
Now I am going to transcribe for you some paragraphs from Lesson 8 of the Zodiacal Course by the Venerable Master Arnoldo Krumm-Heller, Guru (Huiracocha), Archbishop of the Gnostic Church, so that our disciples may understand these teachings well. Let us see: “Instead of the coitus that culminates in orgasm, the couple should reflectively bestow upon one another sweet caresses, loving phrases, and delicate touches, constantly keeping the Mind apart from Animal Sexuality, sustaining the purest Spirituality, as if the act were a true religious ceremony.”
“Nevertheless, the man can and should introduce the penis and keep it within the feminine sex, so that a divine sensation full of joy may come over both, lasting whole hours, withdrawing it at the moment the Spasm approaches in order to avoid the Ejaculation of the Semen; in this way, each time they will have more desire to caress one another.”
“This can be repeated as many times as is desired, without weariness ever setting in; on the contrary, it is the magical key to be rejuvenated daily, keeping the body healthy and prolonging life, since it is a fountain of health through this constant magnetization.”
“We know that in Ordinary Magnetism, the magnetizer communicates fluids to the subject, and if the former has those forces developed, he can heal the latter.”
“The transmission of the Magnetic Fluid is ordinarily made through the hands or through the eyes, but it must be said that there is no more powerful conductor, a thousand times more powerful, a thousand times superior to the others, than the virile member and the vulva as organs of reception.”
“If many people practice this, around them is spread force and success for all who come into commercial or social contact with them; but in the Act of Divine, sublime Magnetization to which we refer, both man and woman magnetize one another reciprocally, being for one another like a musical instrument that, when played, gives forth or draws prodigious sounds of mysterious and sweet harmonies. The strings of that instrument are spread throughout the entire body, and the lips and fingers are its principal plectrums, provided that this act is presided over by the most absolute purity, which is what makes us Magicians in this supreme instant.”
These paragraphs from the 8th lesson of the sublime Huiracocha enclose the supreme secret of the Great Arcanum, of which Eliphas Levi speaks so much, without ever having dared to divulge it.
This is the key to awakening the Kundalini and becoming a Magician. “The Kundalini is the Igneous Serpent of Our Magical Powers.”
The Kundalini is the Solar Fire enclosed within a membranous sac in the coccygeal bone, within the sacral region, which is the base of the Spinal Column.
The Kundalini is the Sexual Fire. The Kundalini is the fire of the Holy Spirit. The Kundalini is the Flaming Sword of the Cherub who guards the entrance of Eden. This is why Master Huiracocha says in his masterwork titled The Gnostic Church that “we must take full advantage of the Marrow and the Semen, because therein lies the redemption of man.” In Esoteric Rose the Master says, referring to the semen: “Lift up your cups well, and take care not to spill even a single drop of your precious liquid.”
Restrained Desire will transmute the Semen into Christic Energy, and this Energy in turn bipolarizes into Positive and Negative to rise through two nervous channels situated to the right and left of the Spinal Cord; these spermatic channels are called in India: Ida and Pingala.
The right-hand channel is Positive, and through it ascend the Solar Atoms. The left-hand channel is Lunar, and through it rise the Lunar Atoms.
Ida and Pingala arise from a Sacred Center called “Triveni,” situated above the Medulla Oblongata. The Semen is transmuted into Christic Energy.
That energy is the Wine of Light; that Wine of Light converts us into Living Buddhas.
The two channels of Ida and Pingala resonate with the musical note of the Chinese Gong, that is, the musical Fa.
The Spinal Cord with its two nervous cords is the Brahmanic Cord. The Spinal Cord is the staff of Brahma, the Rod of Aaron, the Staff of the Patriarchs, the Rod of Moses, the Scepter of the Divine Kings, and the Bamboo Cane of 7 knots of the Yogis of India.
In the miracle that Christ performed at the Wedding of Cana lies the secret for awakening the Kundalini. “The transmutation of water into wine” is performed at weddings during the trance of Sexual Magic; through restrained effort the Water (Semen) is transmuted into the Alchemist’s Wine of Light.
When the Solar and Lunar Atoms of our Seminal Energy make contact at the Center of the Coccyx, the Serpent begins to move, producing a great pain in the coccyx; it breaks the membranous sac and enters the marrow through an orifice which in ordinary people remains closed.
The vapors that rise from the Semen uncover that orifice, which is the door of the Channel of Sushumna. This channel runs along the Spinal Cord to the end of the cervical vertebrae; through it ascends the Igneous Serpent or Liquid Fire of the Kundalini. That Sacred Fire rises along a fine thread that serves as its conductor within the channel of the marrow.
The ascent of the Kundalini is regulated by the Fires of the Heart. The spinal vertebrae are called in occultism: “Canyons or Pyramids.”
Each Canyon has its occult name and its powers.
The Spinal Column has 33 Canyons and 33 Divine Atoms. The ascent of the Kundalini is accomplished “Canyon by Canyon,” “Degree by Degree.” Each Canyon costs terrible ordeals on the Physical plane and on the Astral plane. This is the path of bitterness and of unspeakable martyrdom.
From the fine thread of the marrow proceed the nervous branches that connect the Chakras with the marrow.
The Kundalini ignites all the Lotus Flowers or Chakras of our organism as it rises “Canyon by Canyon.”
Through the 33 Canyons we pass through all the Chambers of the Great Masonic Lodge of the Astral World.
The Outer Chambers are the Minor Mysteries, and the Inner Chambers are the Major Mysteries.
The disciple must learn the Masonic greetings from his own Innermost: the “Inner Master” must teach them to him. The thickness of the Kundalini depends on the quantity of Sexual Energy stored. The color of the Kundalini depends on the psychological idiosyncrasy of the disciple.
The Kundalini rises as we practice Sexual Magic and as we sanctify ourselves, because as we said, the ascent depends on the Merits of the Heart.
We must add up our own Defects and dedicate 2 months to each Defect in successive order, until we have done away with all the defects. This simple rule is the key for making the Kundalini rise, because then the disciple emerges triumphant in all the astral and physical Ordeals, and earns the Canyons rapidly, one after another.
A single Ejaculation or Seminal Spilling is enough to burn out a fuse — that is, to melt the nervous thread along which the Kundalini ascends; then the fire falls one or two or more Canyons depending on the magnitude of the fault, and consequently one loses the acquired powers.
Our Lord the Christ said to me: “The disciple must not let himself fall, because the disciple who lets himself fall has to struggle a great deal to recover what he has lost.”
Through the Initiations of the Minor Mysteries the disciple must pass through all the tragedy of Golgotha; in the end he will ascend to the Golgotha of the High Initiation, where he will fuse with his Innermost and be converted into a Master of the White Lodge.
The High Initiation is the fusion of two principles: Atman-Buddhi, that is, the Five Principal Initiations of the Major Mysteries.
With the first we achieve the fusion of Atman-Buddhi, and with the fifth we add to this fusion the Manas, and thus the Septenary is reduced to a Trine: “Atman-Buddhi-Manas.”
There are a total of 9 Initiations of the Major Mysteries.
Atman is the Being. Atman is the Innermost. Atman is our Inner Angel, and Buddhi is our Soul-Spirit.
When the Innermost and the Soul-Spirit fuse, a new Master of humanity is born; and when to this fusion is added the “Manas” or Human Soul, then a new blessed one is born.
Redemption begins outside the Inferior Self, and ends outside the Inferior Self.
We already spoke in Virgo of the 7 Serpents of Eden. We have 7 Bodies and 7 Serpents of Fire. Each of the 7 Bodies has its Kundalini, its Serpent.
The First Serpent opens for you the 7 Churches situated in the Buddhic Body. A Christified and Stigmatized Buddhic Body fuses inevitably with the Innermost.
The Second Serpent belongs to the Etheric Body, and it leads us to the second Initiation of the Major Mysteries; this initiation confers upon us the power to travel in the Etheric Body or Soma-Puchicon of which Max Heindel speaks.
The Third Serpent corresponds to the Astral Body, and it totally opens for us all the “Chakras,” Wheels, or Discs of the Astral Body, and corresponds to the third of the Major.
The Fourth Serpent corresponds to the Mental Body, and it allows us to Christify the Mind.
The Christ-Mind takes you to the fourth Initiation of the Major Mysteries, and confers upon us the grade of “Arhat.”
The Fifth Serpent belongs to the Causal Body, from which we extract the Human Soul or Manas to fuse it with Atman-Buddhi. This is the fifth Initiation and confers upon us the grade of “Aseka.”
The Sixth Serpent belongs to Buddhi. This sixth Portal is like a vessel of white and transparent alabaster within which burns the Fire of the Innermost. You are now that vessel burning with the Fire of your sixth Serpent.
The Seventh Serpent belongs to the Innermost Body itself.
From the Physical Body we extract by means of the Kundalini the “Soul-Consciousness” which, absorbed within Buddhi, fuses with the Innermost. From the Etheric Body we extract by means of the golden Kundalini of that body the Soul-Wisdom. From the Astral we extract by means of the snow-white Kundalini of that vehicle the sensitive Soul. From the Mental Body we extract by means of its respective Kundalini an animic summary of the Mental body. From the Causal or Body of will we extract a compressed animic essence, or Human Soul. The other 2 Serpents lead us to the ineffable bliss of Nirvana. These are the 7 Degrees of Power of the Fire. Through these 7 Portals only the terror of Love and Law reigns.
The Eighth and Ninth Initiations lead us to Ineffable Regions…
The Eighth Initiation is held by the Pratyeka Buddhas, and the Ninth belongs to the grade of King of the World.
The construction of the spinal system and of the marrow is analogous in each of the 7 Bodies. Each of the 7 Bodies is a complete organism; all 7 Marrows interpenetrate without being confused.
The Seventh Initiation confers upon us the grade of “Mahachohan.” The Mahachohan becomes Guardian of the Akashic Records and Director of the works of the Great White Lodge.
The waters of the Hoang-Ho as they pass torrentially intone the “Gong,” that is, the note “Fa” of Nature which makes our Kundalini vibrate, in the sacred river of life.
Buddha, the redeemer of Mars, now radiates from this planet Buddhic Force, which with Scorpio enters our seminal system and moves us toward the incentive of Christification. The Buddhic Atoms flood the seminiferous channels. The Buddhic Atoms fill our Inner Vehicles and saturate the very inner structures with the Force of Mars.
Buddha has become a warrior; he now radiates from Mars his powerful “Buddhic-Martian” Energy. What a marvel of creation this is! Buddha has become a warrior!
The Buddhic-Martian Atoms will produce the Age of Intuition (Aquarius).
Our Buddhic Principle is the Superlative Consciousness of the Being; it is the “Soul-Spirit.” Now the Warrior Force of Mars has become Buddhic, and everywhere the heroes of the Light will arise.
Mars, in Scorpio, now causes the Atoms of Buddha to reach our seminal system, in order to achieve the Christification of man. The Buddhic Atoms, under the force of Mars, will convert us into living Christs.
Buddha, the Christ of the Martians, now pulsates within our seminal system. Our body and our Buddhic Atoms confer upon us the gift of “feeling” Supreme knowledge. The Buddhic Consciousness is now warrior, and a new type of warrior has been born — those of the Light, the paladins of the New Era. From the wars of this century the New Era shall emerge, because Mars is now “Buddhic.”
The sacrifice of Buddha on Mars was like that of Christ among us. Buddha prepared himself on Earth in order to become afterwards the Christ of the Martians.
The natives of Scorpio are of strong will, but they must combat the defect of anger, of rancor, and of vengeance. The natives of Scorpio are either totally chaste or totally fornicators. Before the age of 30 they always pass through a bitterness.
Stone, the Topaz. Color, deep Red. Metal, Iron.
Children of men! Do you wish to enter the ineffable bliss of Nirvana? Do you wish to become Gods? Do you wish to become Christs? Do you wish to free yourselves from the Wheel of Births and Deaths?
Here I have given you the key of Sexual Magic! What more do you want?

November 23 — December 22
When the Innermost and the Soul-Spirit fuse, a new Master of humanity is born; and when to this fusion is added the "Manas" or Human Soul, then a new blessed one is born.
Chapter Ten: SAGITTARIUS
Dear disciple:
Today, in our present course, we have arrived at the Constellation of Sagittarius. Metal: Tin. Stone: Blue Sapphire.
The natives of Sagittarius are extremely passionate and fornicators.
Eliphas Levi says: “Wretched is the Samson of the Kabbalah who lets himself be put to sleep by Delilah. The Hercules of Science who exchanges his Royal Scepter for the distaff of Omphale will soon feel the vengeance of Deianira, and only the pyre of Mount Oeta will be left for him to escape the devouring torments of the tunic of Nessus.”
The 7 Planets of the Solar System are the 7 Sephiroth, and the Triune Spiritual Sun is the Sephirothic Crown. These 10 Sephiroth live and pulsate within our Consciousness, and we must learn to manipulate and transform them in the marvelous laboratory of our Inner Universe. These 10 Sephiroth are:
Kether: The Balancing Power. “The Magician” of the first arcanum of the Tarot, whose primitive hieroglyph is represented by a Man.
Chokmah: Wisdom. The High Priestess of the Tarot. Hidden Wisdom, the Priestess. The second card of the Tarot. The Moon, primitive hieroglyph, is the mouth of man.
Binah: Intelligence. Planet Venus. Third card of the Tarot. The Empress. The primitive symbol is a hand in the act of grasping.
These three Sephiroth are the Sephirothic Crown. Then the 7 Inferior Sephiroth go in the following order:
Chesed: Jupiter. The Divine Being. Atman; primitive hieroglyph: A Lord. The fourth card of the Tarot: Mercy. The plate of the Emperor.
Geburah: Rigor. The fifth card of the Tarot. The Pope or the Hierophant of the Tarot: Mars, the Warrior of Aries.
Tiphereth: Venus of Taurus, Beauty, the Love of the Holy Spirit, the Buddhic Body of Man, the sixth card of the Tarot. The Lover.
Hod: Mercury of Gemini. The Chariot of the Tarot. The seventh card and the Eternity of the all.
Netzach: The Justice of the arcanum. The eighth card of the Tarot; Saturn: Victory.
Yesod: The Sun of Leo. The ninth card of the Tarot. The Hermit. The Absolute.
Malkuth: The whole Universe, Mary or Virgo. Nature.
These 10 Sephiroth live within our Being, and they are our Solar System. The Tarot is intimately related to Esoteric Astrology and to Initiation.
Arcanum X: (10) Is the first Hour of Apollonius: Transcendental Study of Occultism.
Arcanum XI: (11) Is the second Hour of Apollonius: Force. The Abysses of Fire. The Astral Virtues form a circle through the Dragons and the Fire (Study of Occult Forces).
Arcanum XII: (12) Sacrifice. Third Hour of Apollonius: The Serpents, the Dogs, and the Fire. Sexual Alchemy. Work with the Kundalini (Sexual Magic).
Arcanum XIII: (13) Death. Fourth Hour of Apollonius: The neophyte shall wander by night among the sepulchres, shall experience the horror of visions, shall give himself over to magic and to Goetia. (This means that the disciple will see himself attacked by millions of Black Magicians in the astral plane; those Tenebrous Magicians try to draw the disciple away from the Luminous Path.)
Arcanum XIV: (14) The Two Urns, “Divine Magnetism and Human Magnetism.” Fifth Hour of Apollonius. The Superior Waters of Heaven. During this time the disciple learns to be pure and chaste, because he understands the value of his seminal liquid.
Arcanum XV: (15) (The Electric Hurricane) Typhon-Baphomet. Sixth Hour of Apollonius: “Here it is necessary to remain still, motionless, because of fear.” (This means the terrible ordeal of the Guardian of the Threshold, before whom much courage is needed in order to conquer him.)
Arcanum XVI: (16) The Lightning-Struck Tower. Seventh Hour of Apollonius. The Fire comforts animated beings, and if any priest, a sufficiently purified man, steals it and then projects it, and if he mixes it with the Holy Oil and then consecrates it, he will succeed in healing all illnesses by simply applying it to the affected part. (The initiate here sees his material fortune threatened and his businesses fail.)
Arcanum XVII: (17) The Star of Hope. Eighth Hour of Apollonius: The Astral Virtues of the Elements, of the Seeds of every kind.
Arcanum XVIII: (18) The Star of the Magi. Ninth Hour of Apollonius: “Here nothing yet has ended. The Initiate increases his perception until he exceeds the limits of the Solar System, beyond the Zodiac; he reaches the Threshold of the Infinite, attains the limits of the Intelligible World, the divine Light is revealed, and with them appear new fears and dangers.” (Study of the minor mysteries, the 9 arcades through which the student must ascend.)
Arcanum XIX: (19) The Resplendent Light. Tenth Hour of Apollonius: “The gates of Heaven open and man emerges from his lethargy.” This is number 10 of the Second Great Initiation of the Major Mysteries, which allows the initiate to travel in the Etheric Body. This is the wisdom of John the Baptist.
Arcanum XX: (20) The Awakening of the Dead. Eleventh Hour of Apollonius: “The Angels, the Cherubim, and the Seraphim fly with the murmuring of wings. There is rejoicing in Heaven, the Earth awakens, and the Sun rising out of Adam.”
This process belongs to the Great Major Initiations, where only the terror of the Law reigns.
Arcanum XXI: (21) The Crown of the Magi. Twelfth Hour of Apollonius: The Courts of the Fire grow still. This is the triumphal entrance into the limitless bliss of Nirvana, where the Master clothes himself with the resplendent robe of Dharmasattva, or else renounces the bliss of Nirvana out of love for humanity, and becomes a Bodhisattva of Compassion — he is a Savior of poor suffering humanity, he is one more “wedge” of the Guardian Wall raised with the blood of the martyrs. Samyak Sambuddha, Master of Perfection, renounced Nirvana out of love for humanity.
The Perfect Buddhas clothed in the glory of Dharmasattva can no longer help man or humanity, because Nirvana is forgetfulness of the world and of men forever. The Bodhisattvas Kuan-Shi-Yin, Tashisni, Buddha, and Christ radiate their Light upon suffering humanity.
The Bodhisattvas, after great sacrifices, enter into a Supernirvanic World of Felicity. The Guardian Wall is formed by the “Bodhisattvas of Compassion.” We Gnostics follow in the footsteps of our predecessors.
Aun Vajrapani Hum
In this lesson of Jupiter in Sagittarius, we have spoken to you of the Nirvanic Path, because Jupiter the Thunderer is the sacred symbol of our Innermost; this is why it is said that Jupiter is the Father of the Gods. This reminds us of the Capitoline Jupiter of the Romans. Jupiter in Sagittarius influences the great femoral arteries, where the blood is totally magnetized under Jupiter.
Practice
Sit in a squatting position, in the manner of the Peruvian huacas; place your hands upon your legs, with the index fingers pointing upward, toward the sky, in order to attract the rays of Jupiter, as Huiracocha teaches us, in order to magnetize the femorals intensely.
The mantram is “Isis,” which is pronounced by vocalizing thus:
Iiiiiiiiiiiisssssssssiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssss.
Pronouncing the S with a sibilant sound like that of the air. With this key you will fully awaken Clairvoyance, and you will gain the power to read the “Akashic Records” of Nature.
Now we must meditate intensely upon the Innermost, beseeching him to bring us the Angel Zachariel to help us.
On this path we shall have to live through all the 12 Hours of which the Great Sage Apollonius spoke. The Black Magician “Papus” attempted to disfigure the 12 Hours of Apollonius with teachings of Black Magic, making a liquidation of all the millions of kabbalistic volumes that circulate through the world. We arrive at the conclusion that all Kabbalah reduces itself to the 22 Major Arcana of the Tarot and 4 Aces, which represent the 4 Elements of Nature.
Upon something so simple, the scholars have raised millions of volumes and theories that would drive “mad” anyone who had the bad taste to intellectualize himself with all that arsenal.
The worst of it was that in matters of Kabbalah, the Black Magicians seized upon whatever they found in order to disfigure the teaching and lead the world astray. The works of Papus are: legitimate Black Magic.
The Tarot is a book as ancient as the centuries, and it is intimately related to the Wisdom of the Planetary Gods. This book is the Tarot deck and consists of 78 cards, divided into 22 called Major Arcana, and 56 called Minor Arcana.
The 4 Aces signify the Elements of Nature.
THE ACE OF SWORDS SYMBOLIZES FIRE.
THE ACE OF CUPS SYMBOLIZES WATER.
THE ACE OF COINS SYMBOLIZES AIR.
THE ACE OF WANDS SYMBOLIZES EARTH.
All 56 cards of the Minor Arcana are based on these 4 Aces, and on the 10 numbers of our decimal system. In the 22 Major Arcana, for example, a 4 of Wands is nothing but the Arcanum “4,” the Emperor, and the symbol of the Ace of Wands repeated 4 times; the same happens with all 56 cards of the Minor Arcana. Interpret these cards intuitively, combining the Natural Element with the Major Arcana, and the problem will be solved.
For example, a 6 of Coins would be interpreted by combining arcanum VI with the Element Air, or “Soul,” symbolized by Coin; this would say: “A Love,” and so on successively.
There are two classes of Kabbalists: Intellectual Kabbalists and Intuitive Kabbalists. The Intellectual Kabbalists are Black Magicians; the Intuitive Kabbalists are White Magicians.
The Sidereal Gods many times answer us by showing us a card of the Tarot; then we understand intuitively the answer that has been given us. The Intuitive Kabbalists, by merely looking at a card of the Tarot, understand what destiny holds for them.
On a certain occasion I consulted a Planetary Genius about the advisability of making a journey for which I was not economically prepared; the Planetary Genius answered me by showing me 3 cards. One of them was a King of Coins, all beautifully embroidered with gold; I understood with the heart and made my journey, and it went very well for me.
When humanity was judged before me, I saw the Tarot extended in lines of 7 cards, and when a certain card of the sixth line shone, the Gods judged the Great Harlot (humanity) and considered her unworthy. The sentence of the Gods was: To the Abyss, to the Abyss, to the Abyss. (The number of humanity is 666.)
The White Magician implores the Gods, casts his cards upon the table with his eyes closed; and beseeching his God, he takes a card, observes it, and with intuition draws forth the prognostic. Each card of the Tarot is in itself a complete prognostic.
The exercises of Sagittarius are for awakening Clairvoyance and for seeing and understanding all these things. The Kabbalists of Intuition understand all things with the Heart. The Intellectual Kabbalists wish to resolve everything with the Animal Mind.
The Kabbalist of Intuition is guided only by the Voice of the Silence, the Innermost. These Tarot cards are the language of the Superior Worlds of the Light. These Tarot cards are the Hidden Wisdom of the Sidereal Gods.
The 12 Hours of Apollonius are the Path of Initiation. It is horrifying to see how men have accumulated so many theories upon this book so simple and so sublime as God.
The 78 cards of the Tarot are like 78 Ineffable Hieroglyphs shining within this pyramid of five angles called man. 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10; upon these numbers is based all the progress of the student. Each year has its Kabbalistic Card which permits us to make intuitive prognostics.
Examples
1951 decomposes thus: 1 + 9 + 5 + 1 = 16, Arcanum XVI, The Lightning-Struck Tower. Meaning: Divine Destruction. Before March 21, 1952, a great nation received a great Karmic punishment (this is already defined). If we add together all the numbers of our date of birth, we will obtain our own Kabbalistic Number.
There are those who extract the numerical values from the letters of one’s own name and surname. Iglesias Janeiro is a specialist in this, but to us this branch really does not interest us, because it has not been studied esoterically in depth, in a scientific manner. The only thing I have really verified is that, within the name of persons, according to the meaning of the letters, the Karma is enclosed. For example: women whose name is Dolores suffer unspeakably in life. A certain Colombian politician had the surname “Turbay,” which we could decompose thus: turba ais or ai, turba (“mob”). This politician died without seeing his triumph, and the mobs did not follow him.
The Authorized Kabbalist moves only under the Voice of the Innermost. When the Intellect wishes to combine the Tarot cards on its own, it falls into the most painful errors.
The Tarot is the Esoteric Wisdom of the Stars.
The Tarot cards are drawn from the most ineffable Worlds of Edenic Light. The meaning of the 22 Major Arcana is the following:
MAN, THE MAGICIAN.
WOMAN, AND OCCULTISM.
HUMANITY AND CREATION.
POWER AND THE CREATED.
AUTHORITY AND MENTAL LIFE.
LOVE AND AMOROUS ATTRACTION.
THE CHARIOT OF WAR. STRUGGLES.
JUSTICE. SUFFERINGS.
DIVINE LOVE, PRUDENCE.
FORTUNE.
COURAGE.
SACRIFICE.
DEATH, TRANSFORMATIONS.
TEMPERANCE, CHASTITY.
FATALITY.
CATASTROPHE AND DESTRUCTION.
HOPES.
HIDDEN ENEMIES.
TRUTH.
CHANGES.
TOTAL DEMORALIZATION.
TRIUMPH.

December 23 — January 20
These 10 Sephiroth live and pulsate within our Consciousness, and we must learn to manipulate and transform them in the marvelous laboratory of our Inner Universe.
Chapter Eleven: CAPRICORN
Dear disciple:
Today, in this course, we have arrived at the Constellation of Capricorn.
This Constellation is the house of Saturn, the Ancient of Time. Saturn is the planet of the Solar System furthest from the Earth. The Moon is the satellite closest to the Earth. Mercury follows in order of distance, then Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, in ordered scales of distance. Upon this natural and cosmic foundation rests the most ancient calendar of: Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
The Roman Catholics adulterated this legitimate calendar, and upon that falsification has been raised the Modernist Astrology of Arithmetic. It is logical, then, that Modern Astrology, sustained upon false foundations, should be a true failure.
Now it falls to us to restore the authentic Ancient Astrology, and for this it is necessary and of imperative urgency to return once again to the legitimate Archaic Calendar.
All the astrological works of Max Heindel and of Alpherat are based on a false calendar — they have no fundamental basis, and are mistaken.
We Gnostics are the restorers of Esoteric Wisdom.
I, Aun Weor, am the Great Avatar of Aquarius. I am the Initiator of the New Era. I am the Messenger of the Superior Worlds of Consciousness, and I have come to bring you the Culture for the New Era. I have come to form a New Race of Gods, and I want you to listen to me. “Ask and it shall be given to you, knock and it shall be opened to you.” Thus say the Sacred Scriptures.
I have taught you the unspeakable mystery of the Great Arcanum, and I want you to learn to manipulate the Twinkling of the Stars in order to govern Nature.
Hear me well: the Planetary Hours as they appear in the astrological almanacs and astrology texts in general are false and absurd, because the calendar in vogue is false and absurd, and because no archaic people ever used the so-loudly-touted and curious planetary hours of the modernist astrologers.
The Old Sages of Antiquity regarded the day as a cross within a perfect circle. Those old contemplators of the stars, with their searching eyes, penetrated deeply into the Mysteries of the Stars and received illumination from the Planetary Gods. Those Old Astrologers learned from the Gods that the day is divided into four parts, like a cross within the perfect circle.
They knew that the day was governed by only four planets according to the old order: Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.
The first quarter of the day is governed by the planet of the day that bears its name, and the second, third, and fourth quarters of the day unfold according to the order of the planets: Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.
Thus the day Monday corresponds to the current Sunday, and Saturday to the current Saturday, which is the seventh day.
The following table represents the authentic planetary order:
Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
For those who do not know the planetary signs we explain them thus:
MOON, MERCURY, VENUS, SUN, MARS, JUPITER, and SATURN.
In this way, the twelve hours of the day are divided into four parts, of three hours each.
This simple, easy, and rapid system lets us know exactly which planet is governing space at a given moment. This was the system known by the Great Ancient Astrologers, and they learned it from the Sidereal Gods.
Here the famous calculations of the Astrologers of Arithmetic are not required. Here the only thing required is a little practice and good sense to know the Sidereal Time.
This system, so simple and so sublime, can be learned by anyone, for here one does not need so many complications, nor so many “logarithms,” nor “tables of houses,” nor voluminous “astrological ephemerides,” nor that complicated “jargon” of the pseudo-wise of the Astrology of Arithmetic.
Now a new progeny of Astrologers has been born — the Illumined of the “New Era,” the Paladins of Aquarius. We no longer need the horoscopes of arithmetic; now we converse with the Gods to know the destinies of men.
Shake the dust from your heads, old professors of Astrology, for the first bells of Aquarius have already rung, singing the Easters of Resurrection.
Leave us in peace, Astrologers of Arithmetic; we are tired of your errors — burn all that jargon of logarithms, ephemerides, tables of houses, and so on!
Now only the Paladins of the New Era interest us, the Illumined Astrologers who know how to speak with the Sidereal Gods. We are now wearied of so much theory, and we go to the “grain,” to the “effective,” to the “real.” We want no more blind astrologers held up on the crutches of numbers!
Now only the Clairvoyants of the Stars interest us, the Priests of the Sidereal Temples, the Sages of Aquarius.
The disciple should choose the hours to work with the Stars.
In hours of the Moon, he can work with the Moon; in hours of Mercury, he can work with Mercury, and so on. Saturn is the abode of the Green Hierarchies. These Hierarchies gave man the “Animal-Soul,” or Mental Body.
The Mind must be liberated from all kinds of “schools,” religions, sects, beliefs, and so on.
All those “cages” are fetters that incapacitate the Mind from thinking freely. There is a need for the Mind to liberate itself from the illusions of this world and to become the fine and marvelous instrument of the “Innermost.”
The Mind must be liberated from all kinds of desire-driven reasonings.
The Christification of the Mind is needed; the “Christ-Mind.”
We need a Mind that knows only how to think with the Heart. We need a Mind that knows only how to listen to the Voice of the Heart’s Promptings. We need a Mind that does not reason when the Heart commands!
The Mind that obeys only the Promptings of the Heart is the “Christ-Mind.”
The Mind that does not reason and only moves under the orders that issue from the Heart is the “Christ-Mind.”
The Mind that does not react to external impacts is the “Christ-Mind.”
The Mind must become the instrument of the Heart.
What does Reason know? Reason is a painful process of the Mind, based on the illusion of external things. Reason does nothing but divide the Mind between the Battling of the Antitheses. The decisions of Reason are daughters of ignorance and always bring sorrow.
The new humanity will be the Humanity of Intuition.
The Intuitive one moves only with the Voice of the Silence.
The total Christification of the Mind is accomplished only with the Kundalini of the “Mental Body.”
The Kundalini of the Mental Body is the Fourth Degree of the Power of Fire.
By means of the Kundalini of the Mental Body we extract from the Animal-Soul the “Christ-Mind.” We must expel from the Mental Temple all kinds of earthly thoughts.
Master H.P.B. says in The Voice of the Silence the following: “Thou hast to reach that fixity of Mind in which no breeze, however strong, can waft an earthly thought into it. Thus purified the sanctuary must be emptied of all action, sound, or earthly light, as the butterfly overtaken by the frost falls lifeless at the threshold — so must all earthly thoughts fall dead before the temple. Behold it is written.”
“Before the Golden Flame can burn with steady light, the lamp must be well guarded in a place free from all wind.” Reason belongs to the “Animal Self,” “Intuition” is the Voice of the “Innermost.” Reason is external, Intuition is internal.
The Fourth Degree of the Power of Fire converts us into ARHAT.
The Mental Body also has its Marrow and its Serpent. The ascent of the Kundalini of the Mind is accomplished through the Merits of the Heart.
We have spoken of the Mind in Capricorn, because this sign is the house of Saturn, and in that star dwell the Green Hierarchies who gave man the Mental Body.
Capricorn is the Gateway of Heaven, because it is the house of Saturn.
When the Soul disincarnates, following the “post-mortem” states, it arrives at the Ultra-Saturnian Sphere, plunges into the Infinite, and feels the sensation of having all the Infinite within itself. This sensation expands until it feels itself linked to a new Physical Body that allows it to return once more to the painful School of Life to continue its ascent up the Spiral of Life.
Saturn, Lord of Death, finds his house in Capricorn. Capricorn influences the knees and the human skeleton. The currents that rise from the earth, upon reaching the knees, are charged with the Lead of Saturn. The Lead gives those currents strength and consistency.
The knees possess a marvelous substance that allows the free movement of so simple and marvelous a bony mechanism. That substance is the “Synovia,” which means (syn) with, and (ovia) egg — “Substance with egg.” The egg is truly a marvelous substance. Esoteric experiments, highly scientific, in relation to the unfolding of the human Personality prove that the eggshell has certain occult powers that facilitate Astral Unfolding.
The key consists in reducing the eggshell to powder. The disciple shall apply that powder to his chest and underarms; he shall then lie down upon his bed and cover himself well with the blankets. Let the student then drift into drowsiness, pronouncing the mantram PHARAOH thus:
Faaaaaaaaa Raaaaaaaaa Onnnnnnnn.
This can be pronounced mentally, and when the disciple feels himself drowsy, let him rise from his bed and proceed toward the Gnostic Church.
The first syllable “FA” corresponds to the Chinese Gong, that is, the musical Fa that resounds throughout all creation. This note must be pronounced in order to attune oneself with Mother Nature.
The second syllable “RA” corresponds to a very ancient mantram that makes all the Chakras of the Astral Body vibrate; this mantram is not pronounced with “r” but with “rr” thus: rrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaa.
And the last syllable “On” corresponds to the Hindu mantram Om, but here it is pronounced thus: Onnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
This mantram “Pharaoh” can be vocalized with the Mind or, better still, with the Heart.
Thus the powerful Egyptian mantram “Pharaoh” serves for going out in the Astral Body.
During this sign of Capricorn the following should be practiced.
Exercise
Imagine a coffin on the ground, and let the disciple walk over that imagined coffin, but leaving the coffin between the legs, and walk bending the knees as though to clear an obstacle, and rotating the knees from left to right, with the intention that they be charged with the lead of Saturn, just as the Great Guru “Huiracocha” teaches us.
It is also urgent to practice daily exercises of Inner Meditation, beseeching our INNERMOST to transport himself to the Sidereal Temples, to bring to us the Principal Genii of that Constellation, so that they may awaken in us the Chakras and Powers of the knees.
The natives of Capricorn are as melancholy as the willow. They have a great sense of their own moral responsibility. They are pessimists and always have a Judas in their life.
They are practical and very concerned about tomorrow. Their principal concern is the economic aspect of life. In love they suffer greatly, and they always have to pass through a great romantic disappointment.
Their metal is Lead.
Stone: Black Onyx.
Colors: Gray and Black.
Fraternally, the Master of your class: AUN WEOR.
January 21 — February 18
By means of the Kundalini of the Mental Body we extract from the Animal-Soul the "Christ-Mind." We must expel from the Mental Temple all kinds of earthly thoughts.
Chapter Twelve: AQUARIUS
Dear Disciple:
Today we have arrived at the Constellation of Aquarius, and we must be frank.
Christification is accomplished in parts, body by body. The first thing that is Christified is the Soul-Consciousness, which we extract from the Physical Body by means of the Kundalini of that body, in order to enrich the Soul-Spirit or Buddhic Body.
A Christified and Stigmatized Buddhic Body fuses inevitably with the Innermost.
Then comes the Christification and Stigmatization of the Etheric Body. It is accomplished through the process of progress, evolution, and ascent of the Kundalini of the “Etheric Body.”
Each body has its own “Cerebro-Spinal” Nervous System, its own Marrow, and its own Kundalini.
Each body is a complete organism. There are, then, Seven Bodies, Seven Marrows, and Seven Kundalinis.
When, after difficult efforts and terrible and painful ordeals, we have achieved the total ascent of the golden Kundalini of the Etheric Body, then the Sun of the Father shines amid the Rain of the Night, and the Five-Pointed Star above the head of the Sage indicates that he has passed all the painful ordeals.
Then the date of the Second Initiation of the Major Mysteries is set for the Sage, and he enters happy and victorious into the Temple to receive the Second Initiation of the Major Mysteries.
This Initiation confers on him the power to travel in the Etheric Body across all the Cosmic Planes.
The Kundalini of the Etheric Body opens all the faculties of the Etheric Body. The animic essence of the Etheric Body is gradually absorbed by the Innermost.
Then comes the Christification and Stigmatization of the Astral Body. The Kundalini of the Astral Body is the color of “lightning” and awakens under the direction of a specialist.
The Kundalini of the Astral Body opens for us the Chakras of the Astral Body. Thus, the full and total development of the Chakras of the Astral Body is achieved only with the Third Kundalini, which is the Kundalini of the Astral Body.
The ascent of the Kundalini of the Astral Body along the fine thread of the channel of Sushumna, belonging to the Marrow of the Astral, is an exceedingly arduous and difficult labor, because in order to earn each “Canyon” of the Astral, one must endure and overcome the most terrible and indescribable temptations.
When we have already achieved the total ascent of the Kundalini of the Astral Body, then comes the Third Initiation of the Major Mysteries, and all the Magnetic Wheels or Discs of the Astral Body of the Sage are left fully open and resplendent.
Later comes the Christification of the Mind, which converts us into an Arhat. This labor is accomplished through the Kundalini of the Mental Body, which is the Fourth Kundalini.
The Fifth Serpent belongs to the Causal Body or Superior Manas, from which we then extract the Human Soul to fuse it with the Inner Master, and thus we synthesize the Septenary in the triad of “Atman-Buddhi-Manas.”
The Two Superior Serpents belong to the Buddhic Body and to the “Atmic” Body, and they confer upon us the supreme Felicity and Wisdom of Nirvana.
The Eighth and Ninth Initiations of the Major Mysteries are practically Macrocosmic. The important thing, then, lies in the “Christification” of the Seven Bodies, and all the secret in the generative organs.
From the Semen rises the Fire of the Holy Spirit, which converts us into Gods, but the fire of the Holy Spirit has seven degrees of power, which are the Seven Degrees of Power of the Fire.
All the symbolic narrations of the spiritualist books, when they speak to us of “Initiation,” are entirely allegorical, because never before me has anyone drawn back the veil of the Seven Degrees of Power of the Fire.
Until recently, the majority of spiritualists thought that upon the awakening of the Kundalini, it would ascend instantaneously to the head, and that man would in fact be united with his Innermost or Inner God instantaneously, and converted into a Mahatma. How comfortable! How comfortably all those theosophists, rosicrucians, and spiritists imagined the High Initiation.
It has fallen to me to tear the Veil of Christification, and so I speak clearly, that they may understand me.
The ascent of each of the Seven Kundalinis is slow and difficult. Each Canyon or Vertebra represents particular Occult Powers, and therefore the conquest of each Canyon costs terrible ordeals.
There are Seven Serpents and Seven terrible Portals. And through those Seven Portals only the terror of Love and Law reigns. One must slay not only Desire but the very knowledge of Desire. All the secret of Power resides in Sex.
The Sexual Force is only “one,” “unique,” and of an absolutely Universal character, whose principal repository lies in the “Absolute.”
When the Mahamvantara begins, that Force expresses itself through the Seven Degrees of Power of the Fire, and those Seven Degrees of Power of the Fire reside in our Seven Bodies, and are our Seven Kundalinis, which we must awaken, one after another, in successive order, through the Seven Portals. For this reason the Buddha said: “Hear me well, O mendicants, for in each human Buddha there are Seven Buddhas!” These are the Seven Animic Extracts of the Seven Bodies and the Seven Serpents.
The generative organs of all living species are merely the instruments of that Unique and Universal Sexual Force.
In Sexual Magic lies the key of all the Empires and the key of all the Powers.
We must raise our Metallic Serpent — or better said, our Seven Serpents — upon the Rod, as Moses did in the wilderness, and so we shall become terrible Powers of the “Happy Nirvana.”
The sign of Aquarius governs the calves. The Brazilians call the calves “ventres das pernas” or “matriz das pernas.” Translated into Spanish this means “belly of the legs” or “womb of the legs.”
The primitive hermaphroditic men reproduced themselves by “spores,” and those spores detached themselves from the calves. The calves are extremely erotic, and for this reason every man feels sexually drawn to the woman who has beautiful calves. There the terrestrial and celestial forces meet, combining with one another.
During this sign the following shall be done.
Practice
The disciple, rubbing his calves from bottom to top, shall pray thus:
“Force, pass! Force, pass! Penetrate into my organism; current that comes from below, ascend to unite with your sister, the current that comes from above, from Heaven, from Urania.”
Then the disciple shall give himself over to Inner Meditation, beseeching his “Innermost” to enter into the Sidereal Temples of Aquarius, so that he may bring you the Genii of that Constellation in order to attain Illumination.
Aquarius is the house of Uranus, and this planet brings Chastity, the Originality of “Genius,” Wisdom. The natives of Aquarius are independent and possess great strength of will; they are intuitive and like to travel much; they love Science and Wisdom. They have an aptitude for the Natural Sciences.
Fraternally, the Master of Your Class: AUN WEOR.
February 19 — March 20
The first thing that is Christified is the Soul-Consciousness, which we extract from the Physical Body by means of the Kundalini of that body, in order to enrich the Soul-Spirit or Buddhic Body.
Chapter Thirteen: PISCES
Dear Disciple:
Today we have arrived at Pisces, the last sign of the Zodiac, governed by Neptune and Jupiter.
I have prepared this course with a single objective — that you may attain the limitless bliss of Nirvana.
Nirvana is the valley of profound silence and of “non-being,” but in reality it is there that our real “being” resides. We call it “non-being” because there we live in a form so different from our present state of comprehension that it transcends our ordinary senses, and so we call it “non-being,” but in reality it is there that our “real-being” is.
Nirvana is beyond Love, and that which is beyond Love is “absolute felicity.”
Nirvana is beyond Desire, beyond Mind, beyond Will, beyond Intelligence, and far beyond Consciousness.
Nirvana is “the Homeland of the Being.”
How can we define it? There the Soul, totally fused with the Innermost, feels itself Omnipotent and Powerful within a Felicity that knows no limits.
There the drop has been submerged within the ocean, and the ocean within the drop. There the most ineffable melodies enrapture us in a state of beatitude that transcends all comprehension.
The Great Rhythms of the Fire invade the ineffable precincts of Nirvana, and the Souls of majestic countenance, with their robes of Dharmasattvas and their mantles of distinction, accompany with their songs the delightful melodies of the “Mahavan” and the “Chotavan,” which sustain the Cosmos during the Mahamvantara.
The Initiator must communicate to the disciple the Final Truth before entering Nirvana.
The Initiator must teach the disciple the Great Mystery of Nirvana before the disciple enters Nirvana itself.
Nirvana is forgetfulness of the world and of man forever. There also dwell the Gods of other “Mahamvantaras” in a state of indescribable Felicity. There every tear has vanished, and only the Felicity of the “Being” reigns.
The Nirvanis possess none of the Four Bodies Of Sin, called Physical, Etheric, Astral, and Mental. The Master extracts only the Animic Extracts of those vehicles, which are absorbed and assimilated before entering Nirvana.
The Nirvanis work under the direction of their Stellar Fathers: the Innermost of every man is the son of a Sidereal Genius, and there are as many fathers in Heaven as there are men on Earth.
Every human being is born in each human reincarnation under a different star, so that the Ego may be gradually “rounded out” little by little; but there is one Star that rules our interior, and that Star never changes — it is the Father Star. It is our Father who is in the Heavens. Isbener Aldane says: “I lift my eyes toward the stars, from which my help must come, but I always follow the star that guides my interior.”
When, after the Profound Night of “Pralaya,” the heart of the Solar System begins to pulsate at the dawning of the Mahamvantara, the First Unmanifested Logos of the Great Breath fecundated the Akasha, our Seven Planetary Logoi arose, molding the Akasha or Primordial Matter by means of the Fire of Life, in order to build this Solar System in which we are evolving.
These sublime Architects of Life saw that we were only Unconscious “Rays” of the Supreme Parabrahman, the Eternal Father always dark, whom we call “The Absolute,” and it was those exalted Prajapatis or Divine Angels who endowed the Unconscious Rays of the Absolute with that which today we call “Monad,” or better still, “Innermost.”
And every man has his “Innermost,” and every “Innermost” has his Father who begot him; that is our Father who is in the Heavens.
Aun mani padme jum: This mantram is esoterically pronounced thus: “om masi padme yom” (prolonging the sound of each letter, and syllabically).
The meaning of this mantram is: “O my God, in me!”
This mantram must be vocalized with the Heart in Profound Meditation, adoring the “Innermost,” loving the “Innermost,” rendering worship to the “Innermost,” because the Innermost is in essence the Soul of our Father incarnated in us, our Divine Individuality in which we need to absorb ourselves in order to enter into that infinite and indescribable bliss of Nirvana, where there are no more sorrows, nor tears, nor pain.
Our Lord the Christ taught us to pray thus:
“Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us, O Lord, from all evil. Amen.”
This prayer is made in Profound Meditation, adoring that Ineffable Star from which our “Innermost” itself issued, and thus we shall learn to speak with our Father who is in secret.
Many will say: “Well, but how and in what manner did our Divine Father who is in the Heavens beget us?”
This requires an explanation. Let us see: Our Father is above all a Flame of Burning Fire, and every flame is capable of igneous expansion and of the development, unfolding, evolution, and independence of each of its sparks. Make the experiment with any flame, and you will see that the flame can expand in all directions, and that each one of its sparks can become an independent flame.
Take this example now back to the dawn of the Mahamvantara, and then you will understand how your Celestial Fathers begot you.
Now, if you consider that each Spark is associated with its own Ray of Light, you will then understand the relation of the Sparks to the Light, and of our Divine Spark to the Ray of Absolute Light, to which we belong. That Ray of Absolute Light is our “Glorian.”
Our “Glorian” is a Breath profoundly unknown to itself.
Our “Glorian” is a Breath of the Absolute.
Before it had a Divine Monad, it had no Consciousness of itself; its Consciousness was the Consciousness of the Absolute, but it could not say: “I Am I.” But now this “Glorian” of each one of us is endowed with a “Divine Self,” and therefore our “Glorian” can now say: “I Am I,” “I Am The Absolute,” and I am “here and now”; and thus, intoxicated with Felicity, it will plunge into that Ocean of Supreme Absolute Felicity at the coming of the Cosmic Night, in order to resurface from its profound repose as an Ineffable God at the dawning of a new Mahamvantara, and then each one of us, Ineffable Flames, will expand as fire expands, and each of our Igneous Sparks will become stone and plant and animal and man and angel, and each of our Sparks become Flame will love and adore us, and will lift up their canticles toward us, forever and ever, amen, saying: “Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!” And the incense of their prayers will reach us like an ineffable perfume full of Love.
At that time we shall do for our “Children of the Fire” the same that our Fathers have done for us.
It is fitting that the disciple should learn to visit his Father in the Astral Body, in order to receive direct instruction from his Father who is in the Heavens.
The Stellar Rays, falling upon our Earth, produce Colors, Sounds, Metallic Elementals that condense into metals; Metallic Elementals that, evolving, become Vegetable Elementals; Vegetable Elementals that transform into Animal Elementals; and Animal Elementals that at last are awakened by their Divine Sparks to be incarnated, for the first time, into Men and Men who become Angels in order to return again to their Father who begot them.
All this descent and ascent of the Virginal Sparks through this pilgrimage of Matter is symbolized by the ladder of Jacob’s dream.
What is Iron? It is the Soul of “Samael-Mars,” evolving there.
What is Copper? The Soul of “Uriel-Venus,” evolving there.
What is Lead? The Soul of “Orifiel-Saturn,” evolving there.
What is Gold? The Soul of “Michael-The Sun,” evolving there.
What is Silver? The Soul of “Gabriel-The Moon,” evolving there.
What is Tin? The Soul of “Zachariel-Jupiter,” evolving there.
And all this Ebb and Flow of life resounds in all of Nature with the Chinese Kung.
When the Cosmic Night comes, all the Sparks become Flames and return to their Fathers, and their Fathers return to the Unmanifested Logos, to plunge into the limitless Bliss of the Absolute, where there are no tears or pain; where we are all “One”; where we are all “That which is God,” the “Unnameable,” “that,” “that,” “that.”
This Ebb and Flow of life is solidly confirmed in the Vedas, which are the most ancient Sacred Scriptures, for the Advaita Philosophy dates from many thousands of years before Jesus Christ; this is the old Law of the Pendulum.
There have been in the life of humanity “stellar moments,” in which the Sidereal Father of a Great Genius has been able to speak and express himself through him, in order to initiate new cycles of Spiritual Culture.
I, Aun Weor, am only the son and instrument of “Samael-Mars,” and what I teach you is the Wisdom of my Father.
Each one of us has his Spiritual and Astral Inheritance from his Father who is in the Heavens.
All Mental, Emotive, Psychic, and Spiritual Faculties are influenced by the occult properties of the chain of causes emanating from the Hierarchies of the Planetary Genii, and not by the physical planets. Once again we say, for this reason, that we Authentic Astrologers are not interested in the Astrology of Arithmetic.
The Solar System unfolds within the womb of the Zodiac, and the twenty-four Elders and their Twelve Zodiacal Hierarchies work from this Solar System by means of their Planetary Rays.
These twenty-four Elders have their sacred names; each of the 12 Zodiacal Constellations is governed by two Elders, thus:
These are the 24 Elders who rule the Twelve Zodiacal Constellations, and during your Zodiacal Practices you must visit the Sidereal Temples of the Genii with whom you are practicing — thus: in Aries you will visit the Genii of Aries, in Taurus those of Taurus, and so on — beseeching these Genii to come and treat your organs corresponding to the Zodiacal Sign with which you are working.
These Twenty-four Elders gather at times in the Heart-Temple of the Earth, around the Lamb.
Our Twelve Faculties — that is, our Twelve Senses — are the Twelve Faculties of the Zodiac within us. We must make our Zodiac shine through these practices, in order to be converted into Ineffable Gods.
Our body is an entire musical harp where the Seven Vowels of Nature must resound incessantly. Thus, during Pisces it is necessary to vocalize the sound of the seven vowels thus:
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
oooooooooooooooooooooooo.
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
ssssssssssssssssssssssss.
The sound of each of these Seven Vowels must be carried from the head down to the feet. Master “Huiracocha” says that “an hour of vocalization daily is worth more than reading a million books of Oriental Theosophy.”
Pisces influences the feet, and the feet are the sieves through which enter the Forces that rise from the Genius of the Earth.
In the lines of the feet are written our past reincarnations, and the ceremony of the washing of the feet, performed by the Divine Redeemer of the world, signifies that he — “the Divine Lamb” — has come to wash us with his blood from all our past faults.
Christ is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
The key to entering Nirvana resides in Absolute Sanctity and in Absolute Chastity.
It is necessary that the student learn to know the Signs of Heaven. The wife of Julius Caesar, emperor of Rome, saw in dreams a star fall, and tried to save Julius Caesar; but since he did not listen to her, he died assassinated when he entered the Capitol of Rome.
When Hitler launched himself into the war, I saw clairvoyantly in broad daylight two yellow stars separating one from the other.
In Atlantis there existed Seven important Oracles in the Physical World, where men studied the Wisdom of the Stars and consulted the Sidereal Gods. The guardians of those mysteries were Great Initiates. In the Oracle of Mars, Martian Occultism was taught; in the Oracle of Jupiter, the Jupiterian Religion; in the Oracle of Venus, the Arts, Venusian Wisdom; in the Oracle of Saturn, the Wisdom of Saturn; in the Oracle of the Moon, Lunar Occultism; in the Oracle of Mercury, Mercurian Wisdom; and in the Solar Oracle, our Gnostic Wisdom.
The Ancient Priests taught their disciples to interpret the signs of the firmament; those signs are interpreted based upon the Law of Philosophical Analogies — for example: if with your clairvoyance you see black stars, there are failures for you. If you see a star fall from the sky at the moment when a friend departs on a journey, there is mourning for your friend. If the star falls upon someone, or near someone important, that person will die. If a wandering star passes before you suddenly, someone is leaving you. If you see two yellow stars that separate one from the other, it signifies “war.”
Through your esoteric studies you will come under the direction of certain Planetary Genii, and they will call you by means of luminous signs that you will learn to recognize. You must also understand the Twinkling of the Star of your Heavenly Father when he calls you to instruct you in the Mysteries of the Light.
This Earth, so dense, that you inhabit today, will on a distant day be etheric, and then we shall have the Heavenly Jerusalem where there are no tears or pain. By then the Constellation of Orion, which has brought so much bitterness to the world from the north, will shine illuminating a world full of joy and felicity.
“After these things I looked, and behold, a door was opened in heaven; and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me, saying: Come up here and I will show you the things that must be after these.”
“And immediately I was in the spirit, and behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat upon the throne.”
“And he that sat was in appearance like unto a stone of jasper and of sardius, and a rainbow was round about the throne, in appearance like unto an emerald.”
“And round about the throne were twenty-four seats, and upon the seats I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white raiment, and they had on their heads crowns of gold.”
“And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices, and seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.”
“And before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass like unto crystal, and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four creatures full of eyes before and behind.”
“And the first creature was like a lion, and the second creature was like a calf, and the third creature had a face as a man, and the fourth creature was like a flying eagle.”
“And the four creatures had each of them six wings about him, and they were full of eyes within, and they rest not day nor night, saying: Holy, holy, holy, holy, the Lord God Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come.”
“And when those creatures give glory and honor and praise to him that sat on the throne, they worshipped him that lives forever and ever.”
“The twenty-four elders fell down before him that sat on the throne, and worshipped him that lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying: ‘Lord, you are worthy to receive glory and honor and power, for you have created all things, and by your Will they exist and were created’” (REVELATION 4).
May the most profound peace reign in your hearts.
AUN WEOR
Nirvana is beyond Love, and that which is beyond Love is "absolute felicity." Nirvana is beyond Desire, beyond Mind, beyond Will, beyond Intelligence, and far beyond Consciousness.
Chapter Fourteen: ANALYTICAL SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT COURSE
First Lesson
In the first lesson of Aries we have taught how and in what way we fill our Chalice (brain) with Christic Light in order to be totally Christified from head to foot. It is clear that this Light “is” the Christic Semen or Christic Energy that results from the transmutation of the Sperm into Energy, since mass is always transformed into energy, as the sage Einstein already proved.
We begin this lesson of Aries by teaching that the disciple is absolutely forbidden to fornicate.
And the object of that prohibition is that the disciple may accumulate Christic Energy in order to realize himself thoroughly.
The Christic Energy must pass through the Twelve Zodiacal Gates of our organism in order to achieve our “Christification,” and the first gate that our Christic Semen has to cross, after the Sexual Forces have ascended from the generative organs, is the Gate of Aries in the head.
There, in the brain, our Christic Semen is charged with the Light of Aries. Then that Christic Force continues, passing through the neck, the thymus gland, the heart, and so on, under the forces of the Zodiacal Belt.
This course of the seminal currents is beautifully described by the Apostle Mark, who watched over our Holy Gnostic Anointing.
Second Lesson
In this lesson we have taught our disciples the power of the Creative Word. The larynx is a sexual womb, where the word is gestated. One does not fornicate only with the generative organ, but also with the word. Slander is fornication.
The perfect man is he who knows how to keep silent when his “Innermost” does not speak.
In Taurus we must burn the dross of our larynx so that the Christic Forces may express themselves through it, just as in the larynx of the Angels. The Angels create by means of the word.
Third Lesson
At the beginning of the twelfth century, a monk named Norbert founded in Europe an order of a religious character. Before this man conceived that idea, he was a worldly man, dedicated exclusively to vices and pleasures, but one day something very important happened to him: he was struck by a lightning bolt, and although it did not kill him, his whole being was totally transformed. This event was no accident nor any chance. It was a cosmic event provoked by the Gods, for this man was predestined to mark the Karma of the worlds, to make a new work, and to initiate a New Cultural Stage of the Consciousness.
All the fluidic ties between the Physical, Astral, and Mental Bodies of that man were completely modified by the “shock” of the force contained in the lightning bolt, and that external shock marked the New Consciousness that in Aquarius will reach its splendor.
Now, until the year 1889, those external shocks were very common, because in truth, to enter into the Inner Worlds during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries was nearly impossible. Nature had closed the doors of the Inner Worlds to humanity, since it was necessary that man pass through an era of darkness in order to enter the Inner Worlds afterward in a different and positive way.
Those external shocks were the only thing capable, in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, of giving access to the Inner Worlds to some Evolved Souls.
In 1899, the first cycle of “Kali-yuga” ended, and from that date onward those “external-animic” shocks became internal.
In this lesson of Gemini, we teach our disciples to enter the Inner Worlds in a positive way.
In ancient times, in Lemuria and Atlantis, all humanity lived in the Inner Worlds, but in a negative form; the Astral Chakras turned from right to left, that is, in a negative form (backwards). The Consciousness of human beings was like that which people have in what we call dreams; that same Dream-Consciousness is the one belonging to the Animal, Vegetable, and Mineral Kingdoms.
With the exercises of Gemini, we change the “pictorial” Consciousness of the dreaming life for a Consciousness fully Conscious and Awake.
These exercises confer upon us “Continuous Consciousness,” the Aquarian “New Consciousness.”
The disciple who is asleep in the Inner Worlds will now awaken his Consciousness, and will dream no more. He will exchange his “Dreams” for Conscious Experiences.
These exercises will produce those internal shocks that will Awaken the Consciousness, and will exchange Dreams for Real and Effective Experiences within the Inner Worlds. And thus, while his body sleeps in the bed, the disciple in the Inner Worlds will become an invisible help, and a worker under the orders of the Universal White Fraternity. Before, his Chakras turned from right to left, and now with these exercises they will turn positively like the hands of a clock. These exercises will completely prevent him from dreaming again, and while his body sleeps, he will be conscious in the Inner Worlds. This will be the result of these practices. The Consciousness of Dreams is a remnant of our Animal Consciousness which we once possessed. Animals live a life of pictorial reveries.
There will be many for whom it will be difficult to “go out” in the Astral Body at Will, but in any case the exercises of this lesson of Gemini will Awaken their Consciousness “inevitably,” and so, while their bodies sleep in their beds, they too will work consciously in the Inner Worlds; the important thing is that upon awakening they remember well their Astral Experiences, which “are no longer Dreams” but “Conscious Experiences.” To achieve this, it is necessary, at the moment of awakening, not to move, and to perform a retrospective exercise to remember well everything we did when we were outside the Physical Body, since every individual when his body sleeps is outside the body — those of Asleep Consciousness, “dreaming,” and those of Awakened Consciousness, “working” consciously.
Fourth Lesson
In this lesson of Cancer we teach our disciples to prepare the Physical Body for Practical Magic.
Iamblichus, the Great Theurge, once caused two Genii to appear before astonished multitudes: Love and Counter-Love (Anael and Lilith).
Iamblichus made the Sidereal Gods visible and tangible, and this our disciples can also do if they “prepare” their Physical Body.
The day humanity learns to handle the Lunar Forces, the Moon will fall onto the Earth, because man will no longer need it.
Fifth Lesson
In this lesson of Leo, we teach the disciple to converse with his own Inner Master, through Inner Meditation.
Dharana (Concentration), Dhyana (Meditation), and Samadhi (Ecstasy) are the three steps that lead us to the throne of each one’s Inner Master, who is the “Innermost.”
The disciple must learn to speak with his own “Innermost,” and must be demanding with his own Innermost.
The disciple must receive instruction from his own “Innermost,” and the duty of the Innermost is to instruct his Bodhisattva, that is, his Soul yearning for Light.
The doctrine of “Shen-hsiu” teaches that the human Mind is like a mirror, which attracts and reflects every atom of dust, and must be dusted every day, until it is converted into “Christ-Mind.”
Shen-hsiu was the Sixth Patriarch of Northern China, who taught the Esoteric Doctrine “Bodhidharma.”
The Inner Chamber of the Heart is called in Sanskrit: “Brahma-Pura” (The City of the Supreme God). The disciple must become a Master of Samadhi. The Bodhidharma is the Religion of Wisdom in China.
The Doctrine of the Heart is called the Seal of the Truth, or the True “Seal.”
Sixth Lesson
In this lesson of Virgo we teach the disciple that in the belly the forces that rise from the earth are charged with the adrenal hormones in order to prepare for their ascent to the heart. We also teach him to vocalize the vowel U to develop the Chakra of the Solar Plexus, or Brain of Emotions.
The Solar Plexus is the antenna that receives distant thoughts, and with it we can perceive the moral conditions of all those who come into social or commercial contact with us.
Seventh Lesson
In this lesson of Libra we teach our disciples the Law of Equilibrium.
Three qualities of nature keep the Soul enslaved to Nature: Harmony, Emotion, and Inertia.
These are the Three Qualities of Nature. Before this Universe existed, only Akasha and Prana existed.
The Three Qualities of Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas (Harmony, Emotion, and Inertia) lived in full equilibrium, but when this equilibrium was lost there came the movement of the Great Balance of Nature, the Ebb and the Flow, Good and Evil, Hatred and Love, and so on. Then it was that the human “Innermosts” entered into this Great University of Nature; and here we Involve, and here we Evolve, and if we wish to free ourselves from Nature, we must transcend the Three Qualities of Nature, called Harmony, Emotion, and Inertia.
We must be indifferent before Triumph and Defeat, before Pleasure and Pain, before Praise and Censure; and when all of Nature finds its Primordial Equilibrium again, the continents will sink into the seas, and there will be much fire, and the seas will evaporate, and the vapors will decompose into their atomic formations, and everything will return to the Primitive Akasha, to the Cosmic Night, to the Primeval Equilibrium of the Great Cosmic Balance. After the activity of a Mahamvantara that lasts 311,040,000,000,000 years, all the great cataclysms of nature were brought about by Fire.
Eighth Lesson
In this course we teach the disciple to awaken the Kundalini through Sexual Magic.
The Dragons of Wisdom are formed by the Science of the Serpent, and the “Dragon-Tree” is the very Wisdom of the Serpent.
Pure Akasha circulates through the channel of Sushumna, and its two aspects flow through Ida and Pingala; this is the Brahmanic Cord.
The Cords of Ida and Pingala are the two columns J and B of Masonry, called Jachin and Boaz. Between these two nervous channels rise the Solar and Lunar Forces, which when they make contact at the coccyx, awaken “Hiram,” the Divine Fire that builds the Temple for Solomon (the Innermost).
“Hiram” is also a mantram of the Kundalini. The H is pronounced like a sigh. The I is vocalized thus: iiiiii; and the rest thus: rrrrrrraaaaaaaaaammmmmmmm.
Fire has Seven Degrees of Power, which are the Seven Degrees of Power of Fire, the Seven Scales of Knowledge. Sexual Magic converts us into Omnipotent Dragons of Fire.
Ninth Lesson
In this lesson of Sagittarius we speak of the Sacred Kabbalah, because Sagittarius is the sign of Clairvoyance and of Comprehension.
We explain that there exist two classes of Kabbalists, the Kabbalists Of Reason and the Kabbalists Of Intuition. Reason is an insubordination and a crime of “lèse majesté” against the Inner Master, and for this reason the Kabbalists of Reason are Black Magicians.
The Great Intuitive Kabbalists do not reason; they comprehend through direct perception, and they listen to the Voice of the Silence when they observe any card of the sacred Tarot.
Tenth Lesson
In the lesson of Capricorn we speak of the Authentic Planetary Order, and of the Legitimate Calendar, falsified and adulterated by the Roman sect.
We consider that the Astrology of that Dark Age is based on a falsified calendar, and we believe that the Astrology of Arithmetic no longer serves for the Age of Aquarius.
Eleventh Lesson
In this lesson we explain to our students that the hermaphroditic men reproduced themselves by “spores,” and that these detached themselves from the calves.
To many our affirmations will seem like madness, but the clairvoyant will be able to investigate for himself in the Akashic Records, and will verify our affirmations.
The women of a future age will conceive without male, and the future hermaphrodites will create their own bodies by means of the word.
The Grand-Sympathetic System will become a second Spinal Column, and the Man-Angels of that age will be like Melchizedek, King of Fire, without father, without mother, without any known lineage, remaining a Priest forever and ever.
Twelfth Lesson
In this lesson we speak at length about Nirvana.
I maintain that Nirvana is acquired by taking full advantage of the powers of our Marrow and of our Semen.
He who practices Sexual Magic begins to build the luminous robe of Dharmasattva. The tunic of the Dharmasattvas is woven with the Sexual Fires.
I maintain that Nirvana can be won in a single reincarnation, well used. I, Aun Weor, have given you this course precisely so that you may win Nirvana rapidly, and in a few years. I do not want followers or adherents, but only imitators of my example.
I have not come to form any more sect or belief, nor am I interested in the present schools, nor in the particular beliefs of anyone. I am the Initiator of the New Era, I am the Avatar of Aquarius.
All the lords of the “Lodges” or spiritualist schools are jealous of their parrot “cages,” and have declared war on me. I say to those petty tyrants to carry on in peace, because the master Aun Weor has no interest in those “cages,” nor in those businesses, nor in that trade of souls.
I have delivered this course so that all men may become Omnipotent Gods, Gods of Fire, Ineffable Flames.
I do not want to see the weak or the cowardly; the hour of the great decisions has arrived, and heroic men, men of valor, men of courage are needed.
No more exploitation, no more infamies, no more cowardice.
Nirvana we have in the Semen, and it is only a question of realizing it in each of us through courage. Now men of steel are needed, heroic men, free men. We need to always have a strong and Omnipotent self, and a powerful and robust personality.
I know Nirvana, and I can assure you that all the inhabitants of Nirvana are Strong and Omnipotent Gods, of robust and powerful personalities.
May peace be with you.
AUN WEOR
It was a cosmic event provoked by the Gods, for this man was predestined to mark the Karma of the worlds, to make a new work, and to initiate a New Cultural Stage of the Consciousness.
Chapter Fifteen: FOR GREAT THINGS, GREAT MEN
Men are judged, from a literary point of view, by the ease of their mastery of the subject treated and by the depth and beautiful form of their clauses. It would not be the same to squeeze the golden pulp of a ripe cluster in order to savor it, as to peel back the soft skin of a stale and decomposed grain transformed into a worm.
One stumbles in folios of various lineage upon cynical insolence, upon extravagance divorced from good sense, upon corrupting libido, perverse misfortune, dishonesty, vice, the morbid taste for sin and crime as wasted reflections of this local and brutal hour now in its agony. Very rarely do we find expositions of wisdom that leave the soul overwhelmed by the greatness of the thought and the generous altruism that animates them.
It is clearly evident that in all the epochs in which the human race has reached its final twilight — whether to perish with the extinction of all life, or to receive a new orientation of the divine truth — the prophets and the redeemers have arisen. For great things, great men. How much, then, now that the “Great Harlot” has been judged by the “Supreme Mercy and the Supreme Severity of the Law,” and found guilty, that there should also have arisen an illustrious man, a very captain of Christian militias — to use no other less comprehensible term — who has come to fulfill the ponderous mission of preparing suffering humanity for the New Era of Aquarius.
And who is this intrepid and gallant captain, of speech sun-burnt, scorched, smoking like an exploded firecracker — or fresh, prophetic, lulling like a symphony — who braves all contingencies, who displaces all conventionalisms, defies all dangers, demolishes all schools, lodges, sects, classrooms, cenacles, religions, and buries beneath their ruins the bashful petty tyrants who direct them? And who is this reformer of ideas, creeds, systems, dogmatisms, and so on, who speaks to us with such authority of the supra-sensible worlds, drawing back all the veils, like a powerful citizen of the cosmos? And who is this revolutionary genius who thunders and flashes like a biblical Sinai against imposture, idolatry, vice, and crime?
Were it not because we have already purified the lip and touched the head with ashes, we would not dare pronounce the battle name of this wise divulger of the Supreme Truth, lest we cause him an involuntary irreverence. That man is none other than the author of this Zodiacal Course, and of The Message of Aquarius, Secret Notes of a Guru, The Path of the Domestic Hearth, and Treatise on Occult Medicine and Practical Magic. That man is the same illumined one who wrote The Perfect Matrimony or the Gateway to Initiation and The Revolution of Bel — the most revolutionary and most disconcerting books from the point of view of their realism and wisdom that have been written until now, since they proceed from the very source of divine revelation.
So great has been the collapse produced in the false spiritualists by the surprise appearance of the books of this young writer and fellow countryman, who is barely 36 years old, that they have not yet recovered all their perfect lucidity — but it would be worthwhile for them to recover it, because the time has come to enter the field of elevated and serene reflections. It is a fatal human condition — painfully fatal — that man in every epoch has wished to live always submitted to lies and to the rod of a master.
He has aspired, with all his soul, to be deceived as a needy person of weak character, rather than to set himself to scrutinize on his own account the boundless horizon of the unknown. In these conditions of inferiority and submission, it would not be strange that such a man should boast of fictitious insufficiency and ferocity, like an unreasoning, instinctive being, before one who inspires distrust in him — likewise before his own master.
That inveterate error of submission, of the surrender of the weak to the stronger, of the naïve to the audacious, has been the insurmountable obstacle to new truths, to great ideals, to the self-denying sacrifices of the benefactors of humanity. From the very entrails of blind or ignorant spiritualists — or of the very wise ones of today, yesterday, and all times — came the monstrous and abominable “Crucify Him!” of which Christian tradition tells us. And those who cursed their descendants in exchange for the blood of the just are the same who deny and curse now… The same who claimed to be persecuted, deaf, and astray for selfish benefit, in the light of the truth. The same who exploited and exploit the naïve and sincere disciple!
In an atmosphere of enervated insufficiency, of unconditional stevedores, it is not possible that the authorized voice should arise that shows the way, that teaches the truth, that warns of the dangers — because the indifferent turn their backs and the narcissists of insufficiency and the egotists of incapacity tear their garments, detonate, and flash lightning. He who delivers the verdict of Justice is called hard of heart. Those who know nothing of love, of sweetness, of mercy, impugn disinterested love.
To teach pure and holy sexuality, the transmutation of the Christic substance of the semen, without any morbid chastity, is lewd fruit, immoral to fornicators, to the perverted, to those manumitted of the same sex. Such persons prefer the sexual practice of the brute, of brother ass or brother pig, with the most refined depravation — because the opposite would mean renunciation of virtue.
Those who placed in holocaust the good faith of the spiritualists of Colombia, some as gentlemen of industry, others without cultural rank and without baggage of virtue, are those who lift up their resentful nonconformity against the truth that stings, the truth that shames, the truth that strikes like lightning. It has been four years since The Perfect Matrimony was published and two editions exhausted, and no one rectifies anything… The Revolution of Bel appeared shortly thereafter, and no one refutes, corrects, or impugns… The accusing voice of the master has the dimension of the conscience; it is brilliant and roaring like a cataract of fire!
Fear of the impossibility of defending oneself is the exclusive cause of silence. It cannot be disdain, because the public accusation against the prestige of a man of letters, or the attack upon an ideal that one loves and respects, or a leadership that one esteems as legitimate, deserves immediate rectification — all the more so if the injustice is consummated in a book, and if there were grounds for considering its author as a thorough impostor and usurper of functions.
It is neither elegant nor decorous for anyone to fall silent in public, yet to murmur, to be indignant, to stamp noisily in private, in the circle of the unconditional, in the family chitchat, in the hospice of the lodges where so many sickly ones succumb to misery as convict prisoners. Two men deserved the personal dissection of Mr. Weor: Don Israel Rojas and Don Omar Cherenzi Lind. Of these, only Mr. Rojas deserves, by being nearer, our guard and our blade.
And not for less, for he is a gentleman of refined treatment, of attractive presence, most lustrous in speech, and of refined intelligence and culture. The other, weathered by the sun of ideas and conventionalisms, is absent… for he left, leaving us the firstfruit of his spurious descendance, fertilized by Mr. Rojas with the most somber of mistakes. So solemn was the act of Cherenzi’s presentation in Cali (Colombia), that the patina of the years has not been able to fade the detail — not even the gesture of the action and the eloquence of the speech have suffered modification.
For Mr. Rojas, entangled in a true tournament of praise, Cherenzi was the incarnation of the Venerable Master Koot Hoomi, and to ratify the outburst with another of worse ancestry, Mr. Rojas, kindled with enthusiasm, pronounced this opprobrious and malign phrase: “Krumm Heller is the kneader of the clay, and Cherenzi is the architect.”
The law of consequence measures the punishment in the same vessel in which the sin was measured. Mr. Rojas has fallen, and he will not be able to rise again, because the gaze of Aun Weor has him nailed to a beam of ignominy — yes, the ignominy of his vain personality, structured upon fables, as when he must have affirmed himself to be the reincarnation of Saint John, the eminent visionary of the Apocalypse, with the sole end of obtaining unconditional followers when Rosicrucianism in Colombia was scarcely uttering its first wail.
The silence of Mr. Rojas is the silence of the impotent, of the timid, of the ashamed, of the vanquished. His furtive, shadowy, lackluster voices lack conviction and only denounce dialectical poverty and an abundance of resentment. The same happens to him with the exercise of a ministry without authorization, insufficient for him to direct it legitimately. Distinction and life experience must serve a man at some time so as not to worsen the consequences of the Law with useless responsibilities; repentance can never be a defensive substitute, nor a pleading of rectifications, nor a process of grievances.
And what is there not to say of the latest mistake of this so-called master of wisdom, which occurred recently when Pandit Bhekpat Sinha arrived in Bogotá — a false Hindu prince, nephew of King Daribanga, denounced by the press of Chile, Argentina, and Peru as a thorough swindler by the very spiritualists who had given him a welcoming reception… Rojas recommended Pandit as a holy man, “prodigy soul, gigantic sage, ancient in his knowing, messenger of peace, true illumined one, paragon of goodness,” and so on, and dedicated entire editions to him in his magazine Rosa Cruz de Oro. In Cali there was a fanatic who drank in the works of the expert dissembler… O Simplicity, how many fools are offered up in your name!
In the dawning of spiritualist concern in the paradisiac Cauca Valley, there arose Don Carlos Pino, a simple man, without personality, around whom many legends were woven that adorned him with admiration and respect. To everyone he was a mystic, a saint, a master of wisdom — but an inexpressed, silenced, inert, sly wisdom… Which no one discussed because it was a new thing, a custom of the unrevealed and secret, which had to be respected with exemplary submission.
So things went, just as one would wish, until one fine day the imposture was discovered, the cart turned over, and Mr. Pino remained what he was: epicenter of faults against morality and justice, against truth and the good; a dangerous, thorough charlatan. The Aula Lucis Zoroastro was thus a place of dissimulation and of perfidy, of concupiscence, of disrespect for what belonged to others… The intellectual and social aristocracy of the members of this aula, dissolved in a happy hour, are still ashamed of their passage through it, of their ideal trampled, prostituted, scorned by the most responsible of the irresponsible. Such are all the aulas, schools, and lodges, whatever their label may be: brothels where the beauty of the doctrine and the beauty of the ideal succumb.
Gone are the times when the prophets wept their bitter disappointments, like Jeremiah on the wall of the deicidal city. The human stage of those archaic epochs — by reason of evolutive or regressive rotation — is not the same as that of the present hour, though it has many similarities. Before, not to go very far back, the coming of the Messiah was announced; today the almost total consummation of humanity by the Third World War is predicted.
At that time, Redemption was consummated as a cosmic phenomenon liberating the human Spirit, and today the great struggle has begun — the secular struggle of good and evil, of the White Forces and the Black ones, for the possession of the new Arcadia, on the dividing line of the end of Pisces and the birth of Aquarius. It is a war to the death that is beginning, in the cosmos and the microcosm; a contest of life or death against the tenebrous hosts and their chiefs.
This truth cannot be taught with lamentations and tears; the redemptive end cannot be reached with the smile of truth, with the genuflecting gesture of the indecent and the mean, with the sugary evocation of the immortal deeds of the sacred codicils, nor with the well-worn example of the martyrs. While there are merchants in the temple, there will be indignant reformers! It is an hour of fire, of trepidation, and of smoke. A supreme minute of general mobilization, of training, of attack, of defeat or of triumph.
The voice of Aun Weor is not one of conciliation and pleading, because the time for these feeble offices has already passed. His voice is that of the magistrate who warns; that of the legionary who obeys and fulfills; that of the supreme commander who scans and watches; that of the strategist who traces the route of victory. The present instant is not for vacillations: at the side of Christ or at the side of Yahweh. There are no disjunctions nor middle terms. With Aun Weor or against Aun Weor. With the White Brotherhood or against the White Brotherhood. In Paradise or in Hell. With God or with Satan!
In fulfillment of the biblical verses: “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and shall deceive many; and many false prophets shall arise and shall deceive many,” we now have before us the missionaries of the new “Precessional Era of Aquarius,” directed by Mr. José M. Estrada, called director general, on tour through the Americas to announce that “at the hour of the rising sun” the Spirit of Truth will appear — the New Christ, incarnated in a man named Raynaud de la Ferrière, of French nationality, who is in Venezuela, whom they call messenger of the New Era and the Great Avatar of Aquarius.
Nothing is more fragile than imposture. Much has been said of a new world instructor, of a new Christ, but do the spiritualist theorists not know that every man is potentially his own savior, the Christ, the Spirit of Truth, the Innermost, the Atman, the Ineffable, the Inner God who dwells in the recesses of our Being? Does Mr. de la Ferrière not know this — to dispense with his audacious abysmal imposture, or that he might enjoy a grain of mercy? “Only God and fools do not err,” we hear the eminent Payanese repeat.
We possess a study of the conscious values of this gentleman, so eloquent and destructive that all commentary is superfluous. It reads thus in its culminating part: “A retrospective examination of the Akashic Records of Nature shows us the inner Ego of Mr. de la Ferrière living in his past reincarnation as a Black Magician or vulgar sorcerer.” If this is said of the leader, what shall be said of his companions in arms? The complete page of this revealing study we insert below for the knowledge of the devotees of the Path.
May this final note, written with the purest intention, at the request of the Master, contribute as a voice of encouragement and timely counsel, as a guiding index for the profitable use of this marvelous Zodiacal Course.

Esteemed Disciple:
After a profound scientific investigation, carried out with the ethnic faculties of the Atmic and Buddhic vehicles, of the competent investigator, I have today resolved to answer you in order to inform you about the conscious values of Mr. de la Ferrière, whom they call Messenger of the New Era and Great Avatar of Aquarius.
The thorough analysis gives us the following Psychic-somatic and ethnic Picture:
Analytical chart of an Individual Consciousness:
The Atmic Body has not been assimilated to the Buddhic Body of said gentleman.
The Eye of Brahma or Esoteric Pentagram does not appear between the eyebrows of the Buddhic Body of said gentleman.
He does not possess on the Buddhic Body the sacred stigmata of every authentic Master.
Every Purusha possesses Etheric Monadic Garments symbolizing the cosmic grades or initiations attained in the atomic schools of inner instruction, and as is logical, here the precious stones play a principal role, as is deduced in the following biblical verses:
“And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every precious stone — the first foundation was Jasper, the second Sapphire, the third Chalcedony, the fourth Emerald.”
“The fifth Sardonyx, the sixth Sardius, the seventh Chrysolite, the eighth Beryl, the ninth Topaz, the tenth Chrysoprase, the eleventh Jacinth, the twelfth Amethyst” (REVELATION 21:19-20).
Now then: when analyzed with the Eye of Brahma, the Atmic vehicle of Mr. de la Ferrière does not show any of these sacred Initiatic stones that would prove he has received cosmic initiation.
The Masonic measurements of the Monadic Tunic of the atomic vehicle of Mr. de la Ferrière prove to any authentic Masonic weaver that this distinguished gentleman is not yet even a simple “Chela.”
The Lunar Body or Inferior Kama-Rupa, mentioned by Master H.P.B. and by Mrs. Besant, and many other spiritualist authors, is fully developed and unfolded in said gentleman, which proves the existence of intense animal passions within the sum of his conscious values.
Master H.P.B. says in her work titled The Voice of the Silence that the initiate, before fusing with his Superior Ego, must have destroyed his Lunar Body.
A retrospective examination of the Akashic Records of Nature shows us the Inner Ego of Mr. de la Ferrière living in his past reincarnation as a Black Magician or vulgar sorcerer.
With the most profound respect for the honorable personality of Mr. de la Ferrière, I invite all my spiritualist brothers to meditate upon the following biblical verses:
“By their fruits you shall know them.” “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and shall deceive many.” “And many false prophets shall arise and shall deceive many.” “For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall give great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive even the elect” (MATTHEW 24:5, 11, 24).
May the most profound Peace reign in your heart.
