One of the instructors of Samael Aun Weor, and the author of Dayspring of Youth and The Lord God of Truth Within.

"Master Morya, Master of the Ray of Mars, dwells in the Himalayas, at the edge of a road. He dwells in a humble house; he has innumerable disciples, and his present body has an age of more than nine hundred years. Against Master Morya, death has not and shall not succeed either, because Master Morya is a child of the Resurrection of the dead, and death cannot succeed over any son of Resurrection." - Samael Aun Weor, The Seven Words

“Masters from all races exist within our venerable White Lodge.  We must not forget that Master Morya and Master Kout Humi belong to the yellow race.” - Samael Aun Weor, Igneous Rose

The word magic is derived from the ancient word "mag" that means priest (from magos "one of the members of the learned and priestly class," from O.Pers. magush). Real magic is the work of a priest. A real magician is a priest.

"Magic, according to Novalis, is the art of influencing the inner world consciously." - Samael Aun Weor, The Mystery of the Golden Blossom

"When magic is explained as it really is, it seems to make no sense to fanatical people. They prefer to follow their world of illusions." - Samael Aun Weor, The Revolution of Beelzebub

"Those who believe that they can perform marvels with only the force of the mind are completely mistaken, because everything in Nature is dual . To think that all the works of practical magic can be performed with only the force of the mind is as absurd as to think that a man can engender a child without touching a woman. To think that we can perform all types of esoteric works with only the mental force is as ridiculous as to believe that we can write a letter with only a pen and no paper, or to believe that we can have light with only electricity and without the bulb . Everything in this ardent creation is dual ." - Samael Aun Weor, Igneous Rose

(Latin) Canon, principle or prima materia.

(Latin) “Great.”  See “Misterium Magnum.”

(Sanskrit) The science of the Kabbalah with all its invocations, mathematical symbols and liturgy, which can be angelic or diabolic; it all depends on the type of person that uses it.

(Sanskrit) Maha means great.

“From the Mahakundalini (Cosmic Energy) the universe has sprung. In Her Supreme Form She is at rest, coiled round and one (as Chidrupini) with the Siva-bindu. She is then at rest. She next uncoils Herself to manifest. Here the three coils of which the Kundalini Yoga speaks are the three Gunas and the three and a half coil are the Prakriti and its three Gunas, together with the Vikritis. Her 50 coils are the letters of the Alphabet. As she goes on uncoiling, the Tattvas and the Matrikas, the Mother of the Varnas, issue from Her. She is thus moving, and continues even after creation to move in the Tattvas so created. For, as they are born of movement, they continue to move. The whole world (Jagat), as the Sanskrit term implies, is moving. She thus continues creatively acting until She has evolved Prithvi, the last of the Tattvas. First She creates mind, and then matter. This latter becomes more and more dense.” - Swami Sivananda, Kundalini Yoga

(Sanskrit) From maha (great) manvantara (cycle of manifestation) and padma (lotus). The name of the previous cosmic day.

(Sanskrit; Tibetan: tekpa chenpo) Literally, "Great Vehicle." Traditionally, the Mahayana is viewed as the teachings of the second turning of the Wheel of Dharma by the Buddha Shakyamuni, which emphasized sunyata (emptiness), compassion, and universal buddha-nature (the essence). The term Mahayana refers to all religions who emphasize these factors. Mahayana is the "Great Vehicle," the intermediate step between the Shravakayana (Introductory Path) and the Superior or Indestructible Vehicle (Vajrayana, Mantrayana, Tantrayana, etc). Gnosis as taught by Samael Aun Weor is in perfect congruence with Mahayana Buddhism, but since Gnosis goes further and deeper than Mahayana schools, it is a school of the Superior Vehicle (Tantrayana), which contains the complete revelation of the Path of the Bodhisattva and the method to realize the Void or Emptiness.

A series of initiations given to the Innermost Spirit in the superior worlds after his Human Soul passes through the trial and test required for each initiation.

"There are nine Initiations of Minor Mysteries and five important Initiations of Major Mysteries.  The Soul is the one who receives the initiations.  This is a very intimate matter; something that one must not go about speaking of, nor something that must be told to anyone. Indeed, all the initiations and degrees that many schools of the physical world confer have no value whatsoever in the Superior Worlds, because the masters of the White Lodge only recognize the legitimate initiations of the Soul as genuine.  These are completely internal. The disciple can ascend the nine Arcades, pass through all the nine Initiations of Minor Mysteries without having worked in the Arcanum A.Z.F. (Sexual Magic).  Nevertheless, it is impossible to enter the Major Mysteries without Sexual Magic (the Arcanum A.Z.F.) In Egypt, everyone who reached the Ninth Sphere would inevitably receive by word of mouth the terrific secret of the great Arcanum (the most powerful Arcanum, the Arcanum A.Z.F.). The First Initiation is related with the first Serpent, the Second Initiation with the second Serpent, the Third Initiation with the third Serpent, the Fourth Initiation with the fourth Serpent, the Fifth Initiation with the fifth Serpent (the Sixth and Seventh belong to Buddhi, or Soul Consciousness and to Atman, or the Innermost of the human being)." - Samael Aun Weor, The Perfect Matrimony

(Hebrew מלכות means realm, kingdom) The tenth sephirah on the tree of life (Kabbalah). The "fallen sephirah." Malkuth is the physical world or the physical body. Corresponds to the Kabbalistic world Assiah.

"The physical world is the valley of bitterness, the kingdom of Malkuth, the kingdom of Samsara. The Wheel of Samsara incessantly turns and the ego comes and goes; it disincarnates and returns always suffering, always searching without finding. The Tenth Arcanum, the Wheel of Retribution, is terrible, and the whole world is a slave of this fatal Wheel of the Centuries. Whosoever wants to be liberated from the fatal Wheel of Samsara must dissolve the “I” and incarnate the Soul. This labor is very difficult and those who achieve it are very rare. Really, the kingdom of Malkuth is a terrible filter. The refuse of this filter is what is common and current, which is swallowed by the Abyss. The gold, the select, the true Human Being, the Angel, is the conception, and the struggle is indeed difficult. Nature is implacable and the birth of an Angel-Human Being costs thousands, or better said, millions of victims. 'Many are called and few are chosen.'” - Samael Aun Weor, Tarot and Kabbalah

Although the word is now incorrectly interpreted as "masculine," the true root is genderless, coming from the Sanskrit manas, which means mind, and also O.E. man, mann "human being, person," from P.Gmc. *manwaz (cf. O.S., O.H.G. man, Ger. Mann, O.N. maðr, Goth. manna "man"), from PIE base *man- (cf. Skt. manuh, Avestan manu-, O.C.S. mozi. In Gnosis, the term man retains its genderless meaning and points directly at the mind. This is supported in scripture, as the first person is called Adam, an androgynous being who is male-female.

"And Elohim said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: [...] So Elohim created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." - Genesis 1

"We learned that man has names in different stages, for he is called Adam (man), Gever (male man), Enosh (human), Ish (person). The greatest is Adam, as written, "So Elohim created man (Heb. adam) in His own image" (Beresheet 1:27), and, "for in the image of Elohim made He man (Heb. adam)" (Beresheet 9:6), instead of using Gever, Enosh or Ish. Rabbi Yehuda said, in that case, it is written, "If any man (Heb. adam) of you bring an offering to Hashem" (Vayikra 1:2). Who needs to bring an offering? Only whoever sins who is of a lesser level. Nevertheless it is written, Adam.

The so called Malinkés or Mandingoes are generally Muslim, having abandoned earlier Pantheist beliefs; they constituted a significant social group in Africa before their arrival to America as slaves. They were the founders of the old Mali Empire, located at the moment in French Sudan; they formed the most powerful state of Western Africa between 1240 and the XVI century during the reign of Musa Bellwether (1312-1327).

Malinkés or Mandingoes were partially converted to Islam by the Fula or Fulani (an ethnic group of black Arabicized people spread over many countries in Western Africa) and, due to this, a rich empire was formed under the interchange of cultural and religious beliefs between African Arabs.

Historical aspects, as the one above, influenced powerfully in the religious and cultural product of the Afro-Arabic mixture that equipped the Malinkés or Mandingoes with numerous acquaintances that were subject under the ancestral common property of two worlds. This particular characterization of the inhabitants of the tribe Malinké was the one that came to America as Mandingo African slaves.

Once already in the New World, this racial group (unlike the other originating tribes of the diverse territories of Africa) was much feared because they had the infamy of being great wizards, as well as being rebellious against the owners of the plantations. Thus, this reaffirmed that they were transgressors of the law of the white people. This is why the Mandingoes were also known in the New World as “Mandingas,” and the name of this tribe became associated with very strong witchcraft spells of black magic, this is why later on the word “Mandingo or Mandinga” happened to be associated with witchcraft and became synonymous with “witches” and “devils.”

A term from the Eleusian Mysteries referring to a state of consciousness in which the essence becomes free of the ego.

(Sanskrit) From Hindu mythology, the progenitor and lawgiver of the human race. From H.P. Blavatsky: “Who was Manu, the son of Swayambhuva? The secret doctrine tells us that this Manu was no man, but the representation of the first human races evolved with the help of the Dhyan-Chohans (Devas, Elohim) at the beginning of the first round. But we are told in his Laws (Book I. 80) that there are fourteen Manus for every Kalpa -- or interval from creation to creation -- and that in the present divine age, there have been as yet seven Manus... We are told in the Sacred Hindu scriptures that the first Manu produced six other Manus (seven primary Manus in all), and these produced in their turn each seven other Manus (Bhrigu I, 61-63) -- the production of the latter standing in the occult treatises as 7 x 7. Just as each planetary Round commences with the appearance of a ‘Root Manu’ (Dhyan Chohan) and closes with a ‘Seed-Manu,’ so a Root and a Seed Manu appear respectively at the beginning and the termination of the human period on any particular planet.”

"During those epochs unknown to Cesar Cantu and his “Universal History,” another beautiful country existed in Asia, known as Marapleicie.  This country traded with Tikliamis and a very strong commercial competition existed between them.  Later on, the country of Marapleicie changed its name to Gobland due to the great city of Gob.  Gobland and its powerful city were swallowed up by the sands of the desert.  So, within the sands of the Gobi desert many wealthy Atlantean treasures are hidden as well as powerful machines that are unknown by the populaces of this Aryan Root Race." - Samael Aun Weor, The Kabbalah of the Mayan Mysteries

(Sanskrit) Literally, "wind."

1. An alternate name of Vayu, the god of the wind or air.

2. In the Vedas, the word is a reference to "the storm gods" or gods of the wind, who symbolize initiates who have entered initiation but still have ego, and can also be called Hanasmussen. They are Gods, but not perfect. Marut is a synonym of Deva or Demigod.

"...the Maruts have themselves glorified their greatness." - Vedas

Like many terms related to spirituality, this one is grossly misunderstood. Although many people claim to be "masters," the truth is that the terrestrial person is only a terrestrial person. The only one who can be a Master is the Innermost, Atman, the Father, Chesed.

"And, behold, one came and said unto [Jesus], Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God." - Matthew 19

"The value of the human person which is the intellectual animal called human being is less than the ash of a cigarette. However, the fools feel themselves to be giants. Unfortunately, within all the pseudo-esoteric currents a great amount of mythomaniac people exist, individuals who feel themselves to be Masters, people who enjoy when others call them Masters, individuals who believe themselves to be Gods, individuals who presume to be Saints. The only one who is truly great is the Spirit, the Innermost. We, the intellectual animals, are leaves that the wind tosses about... No student of occultism is a Master. True Masters are only those who have reached the Fifth Initiation of Major Mysteries. Before the Fifth Initiation nobody is a Master." - Samael Aun Weor, The Perfect Matrimony

"You [if you have reached levels of initiation] are not the Master, you are only the sinning shadow of He who has never sinned. Remember that only your internal Lamb is the Master. Remember that even though your internal God is a Hierarch of fire, you, poor slug, are only a human being and as a human being you will always be judged. Your internal Lamb could be a planetary God, but you, poor slug of the mud, do not forget, always remember that you are only the shadow of your God. Poor sinning shadow..! Do not say “I am this God” or “I am that Master,” because you are only a shadow that must resolve to die and be slaughtered in order not to serve as an obstacle for your internal God. It is necessary for you to reach supreme humbleness." - Samael Aun Weor, The Aquarian Message

"Do not accept external Masters in the physical plane. Learn how to travel in the Astral Body, and when you are skillful in the Astral, choose an authentic Master of Major Mysteries of the White Brotherhood and consecrate unto him the most absolute devotion and the most profound respect." - Samael Aun Weor, The Zodiacal Course

In the esoteric sciences, a “materialist” is one who only believes in what his five senses can tell him, thus he relies exclusively on the data of the sensory, third dimensional world. This type of person has no understanding of the superior senses or the superior dimensions, and thus is limited to what he can perceive physically. As C.W. Leadbeter said, “It is one of the commonest of mistakes to consider that the limit of our power of perception is also the limit of all there is to see.”

(Sanskrit) The mother-lotus; the womb of nature.

"When the esotericist submerges himself into meditation, what he seeks is information." - Samael Aun Weor

"It is urgent to know how to meditate in order to comprehend any psychic aggregate, or in other words, any psychological defect. It is indispensable to know how to work with all our heart and with all our soul, if we want the elimination to occur." - Samael Aun Weor, The Pistis Sophia Unveiled

1. The Gnostic must first attain the ability to stop the course of his thoughts, the capacity to not think.  Indeed, only the one who achieves that capacity will hear the Voice of the Silence.

2. When the Gnostic disciple attains the capacity to not think, then he must learn to concentrate his thoughts on only one thing. 

3. The third step is correct meditation.  This brings the first flashes of the new consciousness into the mind. 

4. The fourth step is contemplation, ecstasy or Samadhi.  This is the state of Turiya (perfect clairvoyance). - Samael Aun Weor, The Perfect Matrimony

[םמ] The thirteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, it symbolizes the element water (מים MayiM). Its Kabbalistic value is 40. Mem is one of the three mother letters (אמש).

Mem is the fountain of Divine Wisdom (Chokmah). Just as the waters of the well of Jacob (spring) ascend from its unknowable subterranean sources to unveil the mysteries of the tree of life on earth (Malkuth), likewise the fountain of Schamayim, the Superior Waters in Daath, unveil the wisdom (Chokmah) that express the power “Iod” or the flow of light from the Ain Soph.

Related to Netzach, the seventh sephirah of the Tree of Life; corresponds to the fifth dimension.

A symbol with many levels of meaning.

"Mercury is Buddha, the Genie or God who is situated between the Sun and the Moon. He is the perpetual companion of the Sun of Wisdom. In Greek Mythology, Mercury displayed wings in order to express how he assisted the Sun on its sidereal course. Mercury was called Nuncio and Wolf of the Sun: Solaris Luminis Particeps. “He was the chief and the evoker of the souls, the Kabir and Hierophant.” Virgil describes Mercury holding the Caduceus or Hammer of two serpents in order to evoke to a new life those unhappy souls who were precipitated into the ORCO of classic Greeks, the Christian Limbo, TUM VIRGAM CAPIT, HAC ANIMAS ILLE EVOCAT ORCO, with the purpose of having them enter into the celestial militia." - Samael Aun Weor, The Doomed Aryan Race

1) the first planet of the esoteric order and the closest to the Sun-Christ. Psychologically, Mercury influences the mind and is ruled by Raphael. Related to intellectualism, journalism, law suits, sciences, trips, medicine, etc. "Journalism, intellectualism, businesses, quarrels, journeys and all types of matters related with the Mind." - Samael Aun Weor, Manual of Practical Magic. For an entire chapter on the planet Mercury, read Samael Aun Weor, The Doomed Aryan Race.

2) Mercury (Hermes) the God is the companion of the sun and the fastest of the gods. He displays radiant wings of fire to express that he was helping the Christ-Sun in its eternal course. Symbolized in Greek mythology by hare-hunting dogs or guardian dogs of celestial cattle, drinking from the very pure wells of occult wisdom. Also known as Hermes-Anubis or as the Good Inspirator, Agathodaemon. Emperor Julian prayed every night to the occult Sun (Christ) through the intercession of mercury.

3) Alchemically: "the metallic soul of the sperm (sperm or semen refers to sexual energy in men and women)." The sperm of all metals. The Spirit of Alchemy. "Unquestionably, the Mercury of the Wise must be fecundated by the Sulphur, in other words, by the Fire." - Samael Aun Weor, The Pistis Sophia Unveiled

"The ancient populace worshiped the corn, wheat and rice, because the sacred seed is represented by them. Mayas and Nahuas symbolized the Mercury of the Wise with corn. The Middle East and Europe saw the blessed seed in the wheat. China, Japan and India saw the sacred sperm in the rice." - Samael Aun Weor, The Pistis Sophia Unveiled

"The Wings of Mercury elevate us to the world of Gods."

Types of Mercury:

“Firstly, there is brute Mercury, which means the Exiohehari, or sacred sperm.

“Second, there is the metallic soul of the sperm, which is the result of the transmutation of the sexual libido (the sperm).  Therefore, this metallic soul is creative energy that ascends through the ganglionic spinal cords to the brain.

“The third Mercury is the most elevated. It is the Mercury that has been fertilized by Sulfur. In Alchemy, Sulfur is the sacred fire.” - Samael Aun Weor, from the lecture “Archeus”

or Metraton (Hebrew מטטרון or מיטטרון) A very high angel who brought the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet and the Tarot to humanity. The Zohar explains that he is often referred to as "the watchman" or "the youth."
