The First Mountain

The First Mountain

Much has been spoken of the Initiatic Path. Now I permit myself to explain in more detail the path toward liberation.

We have to begin by elaborating our own energies. We know that the human being is a machine that has Seven Centers: two superior and five inferior. These five centers do not work with their own hydrogen, on account of which the human machine goes badly.

We know very well that of these five lower centers, the first four steal the energy of the fifth, which is the sexual center. For this reason, no one can arrive at Chastity if he does not first organize his human machine — make these five centers or cylinders work duly, each one with its own energy. Thus we can fabricate Hydrogen 12, which is that of the sexual center.

While we do not do this work, it is wasting time, because the sexual part will always be unbalanced, just as the other centers. Hydrogen 12 is the hydrogen of sex, with which sex normally works, and Si-12 is already when it is transmuted by means of scientific Chastity.

Through the death of those minute psychic elements that manifest themselves at every instant, at every moment in one — whether of lust, of pride, of vengeance, of hatred, of robbery, in short — all these details are what rob and unbalance the sexual energy, and do not permit a person to arrive at Chastity, since each center is not working with its own energy.

One steals from the one, another steals from another; all steal from the sexual center, and the sexual center in turn — to be able to function — also steals energy from the other centers, whereby the human machine becomes totally unbalanced. A crossing of hydrogens that does not lead it to a balance, but rather continues feeding those psychic elements without hope of arriving at the Path of Initiation.

This is how the entire student body is currently functioning, without exception, because no one has done this work as I am indicating here.

Whoever wishes to come to balance his human machine must begin to balance whatever detail manifests itself — however minute it may be — asking his Divine Mother for its elimination. Thus it is that we go on balancing the human machine, in order to truly attain our end, which is the Initiatic Path.

When one begins to work with death as I have taught here, the changes of energy in the disciple come. One begins with the black mercury, second passes to white, third to yellow, and fourth to red. The red is already the Sacred Fire. It awakens and begins to ascend through the spinal medulla.

This is the beginning of the work we have to perform. There is no other path to begin the First Mountain, or the Esoteric Work. You can search wherever you wish — if one does not begin here, the work has not begun. Here die the theories, and the deeds are what carry the disciple forward.

The Tests to Enter Initiation

Among the tests to which the disciple is submitted, first is the test of the guardian, where he has to face his own beast which he has created through the centuries.

Second: the tests of the four elements — Fire, Air, Water, and Earth. In their due order, the aspirant is submitted to them. These are repeated to the student very many times. It does not matter that he has passed them; they keep throwing them at him constantly, because with these tests he sets the tone.

After these tests follow a series of tests that come upon one, testing his pride, vanity, lust, hatred, etc. In short, a whole series of tests — for this is a long process, and these tests are repeated again and again.

This is a continuous discipline that the student has to give himself daily to be able to come out well in those tests, which generally are very small and more difficult to pass: sentimentalism, attachment, material goods, family, etc. In these one has to polish himself much, having understood well at heart in order to come out well internally; otherwise he loses everything, and there he can stagnate until further notice — until he corrects it.

The Ascent of the First Mountain

When one works with Hydrogen Si-12, one has awakened the Sacred Fire, has begun to ascend the First Mountain, which are the Initiations of Fire — where in accordance with the psychological work one performs, the fire ascends with greater rapidity.

So then, one must keep balance between death and birth if one wishes to advance rapidly, because this energy — the Sacred Fire — ascends with the merits of the heart. An egoist takes much longer, three times longer, to ascend the Fire, since he is a person who wants everything for himself and does not teach others. That is, humanity does not matter to him, and that is the principal thing the Initiate must have. Bear in mind that if one wishes to save oneself, one must strive to save others so that they do not fail. That is called Love.

In the first vertebra gained, he receives the sword — a small sword with a white hilt — which at once he must place in his belt, because all the Black Lodge comes upon him to take it away.

And to the measure that the Fire ascends, the sword lengthens, until he incarnates the Innermost, who comes to be the flaming sword — the sword of the magical powers, which has powers over nature.

When one incarnates the Innermost, the Law of Seven takes him; that is, the Innermost each seven years goes on manifesting with more force, with more wisdom, with more splendor, more power within himself, until he arrives at 42 years. One must not make illusions that, because he incarnated the Innermost, he is going to be left with all the wisdom and all the force — for He is born like any child, and goes on growing and expressing Himself by the Law of Seven until reaching mature age, which is 42 years. There He is in all His splendor.

Thus we go on gaining vertebra by vertebra, and the Chakras and Churches go on awakening. The initiate goes on governing the Four Elements of nature, to the measure that he ascends — until he reaches the Fifth of Major Mysteries, and is qualified as Authentic Man.

In the Fifth Initiation of Major Mysteries is when the Initiate chooses the Direct Path or the Spiral.

The path is chosen in accordance with the Revolution of the Consciousness: if he is a passive person, he chooses the spiral; if he is a revolutionary person, he chooses the Direct Path. He who chooses the spiral is because liberation does not interest him; and the spiral is not advised even to the worst enemy, because thus one never arrives at liberation.

So then, I invite those revolutionaries to reflect and risk all for all.

The Direct Path brings triumphs, payments that the Hierarchies make to one. By the spiral there are no triumphs, no payments, no anything.

When one has chosen the Direct Path, that is when one comes to incarnate the First Triad, which is Atman, Buddhi, Manas.

When one fabricates the Causal Body (Manas), in fact the two superior forces are incarnated, and one remains an initiate of Major Mysteries. He is now converted into a Master of Major Mysteries, Mysteries of Fire; but one must not confuse the Mysteries of the Fire with the Initiations of Gold, which are completely different.

When the three forces are incarnated within the Initiate, he becomes a Master. He has the right, at the culmination of that Mountain, to pass into a round and very beautiful chapel where he can give himself a rest — meditate, make an account or retrospection of all his work he has just performed. This is meticulous, because there remains much wisdom for the Master to be able to manifest later. Then later he renounces that happiness and initiates the Second Mountain.
