The Elimination of Satan's Tail, a book by Samael Aun Weor

Gnostic Psychology, Meditation, and the Origins of Suffering

“Ecstasy (Samadhi) is not a nebulous state, but a transcendental state of wonderment, which is associated with perfect mental clarity.”

The diminutive size of this book belies the extreme depth of its contents: the practical and urgent nature of the teachings provided here are as potentially transformative as a lightning strike. The serious spiritual investigator will find essential steps leading to the direct experience of the mysteries of life, death, karma, suffering, and the root of existence: the Emptiness or Void. This is not merely a recitation of theories or doctrines: it is the practical experience of the author, as acquired through the awakening of the Consciousness, and is in accordance with the universal wisdom taught by all the great spiritual messengers throughout time and space.

Originally published in Spanish as "Mensaje de Navidad 1964-1965" (1965) and later named by students "La Disolucion del Yo."
