"If we want to resolve problems, we must abstain from expressing our opinion. Every opinion can be debated. We must resolve a problem by meditating upon it. It is necessary to resolve it with the mind and the heart. We must learn to think for ourselves. To repeat like parrots the opinions of others is absurd." - Samael Aun Weor, The Revolution of the Dialectic

![]() The Legend of Zoroaster says “all those whose good works outweigh their sins, go to Heaven; those whose sins are greater go to Hell ; he who has the two equal remains in HAMISTIKAN until the future body or resurrection.” The 'bible' of Zoroastrians is the Zend - Avesta. Zoroastrianism was founded in the 6th century before Christ by the Persian prophet Zoroaster; at the time of Buddha. It was the official religion of the Persian Empire until it was conquered by Alexander the Great in 330 after Christ... if the battles at Marathon and Salamis would have been won by the Persians, today we would have probably in the Western civilization more Zoroastrianism... The Muslims defeated them in the 7th century AC. The Zoroastrians were scattered, and today there are left 115,000 around Bombay, in India, and 7,000 in the United States. ![]() Zoroaster was born between 660 and 628 B.C.E. according to several sources. Some sources date the Gathas between 1400 and 1000 B.C. E., but the early texts may be from sources which predate Zoroaster's birth. His father was Pourushaspa, of the warrior clan Spitama, his mother Dughdhova, of a noble family. Demons attempted to kill him as an infant, as they recognized him as a potential enemy. He grew up in a religion which shared some deities and concepts with the Aryans (Rig-Veda). At 15 he received the sacred thread, the kusti, at 20 left his parents and the wife chosen for him. He was trained as a priest or magus, but rejected animal sacrifice as evil. At 30, while wandering about seeking answers to religious questions, he received a revelation from Ahura Mazda. The angel Vohu Mana came to him as he stood on a river bank. Leaving his body, Zoroaster responded to a command to come to the court of heaven. In heaven, Ahura Mazda revealed to him that immortality would be given to the followers of Zoroaster. The true God, Ahura Mazda, Wise Lord, was the same lord who had been worshiped by cattle owners and farm people. He was opposed by Angra Mainyu, the spirit of evil, worshiped by cattle rustlers. Zoroaster was told that the struggle between the two could be aided by humans deciding to live moral lives. At the end of time, each human would be judged according to his/her deeds and sent to heaven or hell. Over a period of ten years, Zoroaster had six other visions containing angels, messengers of Ahura Mazda. He had limited success spreading his message until he converted King Vishtaspa of Bactria. His religion spread, to an extent, through wars and conquest. He was killed by an invading soldier as he attended (defended ) the sacred flame in a temple. He was 77. Zoroastrianism clearly teaches the doctrines of an individual judgment, Heaven and Hell, the future resurrection of the body, the general Last Judgment, and life everlasting for the reunited soul and body. The same doctrines that familiar articles of faith to mankind, through Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Zoroastrian Creed: Do what thy God wilt Fully will I adjust my will to thy will, Ahura Mazda ![]() Let me will what thou willest me to will. Work thy will in me. I will accept thy will as law and submit to it. My lip-loyalty to thee does not mean anything. It counts for nothing. Doing thy will, living according to thy will, is everything. I will do all that thou wiliest me to do. I will keep thy commandments with all my will. I will conform my life to thy will. Every day in my life, I will do what is pleasing to thee and refrain from doing what is displeasing to thee. Help me to restrain my wayward will. Infallible is thy divine will. What thou dost win, is always good, for thou, the Sovereign Lord of mankind without a second, art All-good thyself. Thou wert the same yesterday. Thou art the same to-day and thou will be the same for ever. The creation came into being with thy will. I see thy designing will and ordaining hand in everything. Things always come about as thou dost will. What thou doest is always the best in the end. Thou dost work thy will upon me. Do unto me as thou willest. Inflame my will with love for thee. I will do all that thou willest me to do. Let me see the right, let me understand the right and let me have the will to do the right. With my hands uplifted, my head bent low, I will sink on my knees and bow to thy will. I will think and speak and do as thou wouldst have me to do. Enlighten me with thy will, that I may make it known all around me. My life is built around thee. Let thy will dominate my will. I will not live my life as I will, but as thou dost will. Faithfully will I comply with thy will. Let thy will govern my will. Let my will be merged in thy will and become one with it. With the fullness of my heart I will always do thy will, Ahura Mazda.

HEAVENS: We find them in all orthodox religions, although with different names.
These are always nine, as the Florentine Dante stated with so much detail in his classic poem: The Divine Comedy. - Heaven of the MOON (Astral World) - Heaven of MERCURY (Mental World) - Heaven of VENUS (Causal World) - Heaven of the SUN (Buddhic or Intuitional World) - Heaven of MARS (Atmic World, region of ATMA, the Spirit) - Heaven of JUPITER (Nirvana) - Heaven of SATURN (Paranirvanic World) - Heaven of URANUS (Mahaparanirvanic World) - Heaven of NEPTUNE (The Empirean) ![]() These nine cited heavens are also within us, here and now. ![]() They mutually penetrate and co-penetrate without becoming entangled. Obviously, these nine heavens are found located in nine superior dimensions. Ostensibly, they are nine parallel universes. INFERNOS: It is good to remember the diverse religious infernos that we already stated. Let us bring to mind all of the multiple pre-historic and historic infernos. Chinese, Mohammedan, Buddhist, Christian (etc., etc., etc.) infernos exist everywhere. All of the various infernos serve as a symbol for the submerged mineral kingdom... ![]() These nine cited infernos are also within us, here and now. Dante, the disciple of Virgil, the Poet of Mantua, discovered with mystical astonishment the intimate relationship existing between the nine Dantesque circles and the nine heavens... ![]() The Bardo Thodol, the Tibetan Book which talks about the Spirits of the Afterlife World, shows us the crude reality of the infernal worlds, located within the interior of this planetary organism on which we live. The nine Dantesque circles within the interior of the Earth are scientifically correlated with the nine submerged Infradimensions, under the tridimensional region of Euclid. The cosmic existence of the infernal worlds in any world of the infinite space is evident and clear. Obviously, the submerged mineral kingdoms are certainly not something exclusive to the planet Earth. ANGELOLOGY: The whole Cosmos is directed, watched and animated by a series of almost interminable hierarchies of Cognizant Beings. Each one of them (whether they are called by one name or another, such as, Dhyan-Chohans, Angels or Devas, etc.) have a mission to accomplish, and are Messengers only in the sense that they are agents of Nemesis and Cosmic Laws. They vary in their respective degrees of consciousness and intelligence infinitely. All of them are perfect humans in the most complete sense of the word. ![]() The same way that geologists do not care if the ants of an anthill notice their presence while studying nature in the forest, likewise, these Cognizant Beings do not care if Intellectual Mammals notice their presence in Nature. They (intellectual mammals) won’t understand these Beings’ duties and cosmic activities. ![]() However, if you develop your inner-ultra-sensorial perceptions, you can see their activities within the superior parallel universes of nature and the cosmos! -------------------- ![]() "Behold what I, a God, from Gods endure! Look down upon my shame, The cruel wrong that racks my frame, The grinding anguish that shall waste my strength" "Understand our final statement: whosoever becomes a disciple of a demon will go to the abyss to accompany his adorable demon-guru." - Samael Aun Weor |

![]() Lucifer-Prometheus is the one who moulds humanoids out of water and earth, and he later helps them by giving them the secret of the Creative Fire (Kundalini), so that Athena, the goddess of prudent intelligence, can animate the moulded humanoids by giving them a soul, and thus transforming them into human beings. Some think that the Greek Lucifer-Prometheus was mainly the benefactor of humanity, just by the fact of giving onto them the secret of the Creative Fire (Kundalini). But, the Greek Lucifer- Prometheus can also guide any human being (who chooses to make a deal with him) towards the kingdom of the supermen. Those who overcome his temptations (ordeals) finally submerge themselves with him within the uncreated light, the eternal darkness of the absolute as Paramarthasatyas. -------------------- ![]() "Behold what I, a God, from Gods endure!

![]() Hermes Trismesgistus stated: “The creation of life by the sun is as continuous as his light; nothing arrests or limits it. “Around him, like an army of Satellites, are innumerable choirs of Genii. “These dwell in the neighbourhood of the Immortals, and thence watch over human things. “They fulfill the will of the gods (Karma) by means of storms, tempests, transitions of fire and earthquakes; likewise by famines and wars, for the punishment of impiety. “Is the sun who preserves and nourishes all creatures: and even as the Ideal World which environs the sensible world fills this last with the plenitude and universal variety of forms, so also the Sun, enfolding all in his light, accomplishes everywhere the birth and development of creatures. “Under his orders is the choir of Genii, or rather the choirs, for there are many and diverse, and their number corresponds to that of the stars. “Every star has its Genii, good and evil by nature, or rather by their operation, for operation is the essence of the Genii. “All of these Genii preside over mundane affairs.” “They shake and overthrow the constitution of States and of individuals; they imprint their likeness on our Souls, they are present in our nerves, our marrow, our veins, our arteries, and our very brain-substance. At the moment when each one of us receives life and being, he is taken in charge by the Genii (Elementals) who preside over births, and who are classed beneath the astral powers (Superhuman astral Spirits). "They change perpetually, not always identically, but revolving in circles (progressive cycles in development). "They permeate by the body two parts of the Soul, that it may receive from each the impress of his own energy. "But the reasonable part of the Soul is not subject to the Genii. it is designed for the reception of (the) God (the Intimate) who enlightens it with a sunny ray. "Those who are thus illumined are few in number, and from them the Genii abstain (this is how the human beings liberate themselves from karma): for neither Genii nor Gods have any power in the presence of a single ray of God. "But all other men, both soul and body, are directed by Genii, to whom they cleave, and whose operations they affect. "The Genii have then the control of mundane things and our bodies serve them as instruments.” These elemental Genii of Nature are known in India as Bhuts, Devas, Shaitan, and Djin. All these great beings are children from the Mist of the Fire. They are the army of the Voice. They are perfect beings. The Bible call them Elohim (Gods and Goddesses) Everything that exists in the universe has sprouted from its seed. The seeds of everything that exist are the Monadic Essences of the Mist of the Fire. When the heart of the solar system began to palpitate after the great cosmic night, the ‘devouring’ atoms of the Mist of the Fire dispersed all the atoms of the Monadic Essences, in order for the elemental life of the four kingdoms of Nature to emerge from them. Each atom of Nature is the body of a virginal spark that incessantly evolves through time and space. These virginal sparks are the Divine Monads that constitute the seed plot of the cosmos. These virginal sparks, when united, are called Monadic Essences. Each one of the atoms of our physical body and our internal bodies are the living incarnation of these virginal sparks. All the virginal sparks evolve and progress under the direction of the Angels. There exist three aspects of cosmic evolution that are found mixed and entwined everywhere upon our Earth. These three aspects are Monadic evolution, mental evolution and physical evolution. However, the Monadic Essences are the fundamental base of the mental and physical development in the processes of evolution. As long as the Monadic Essences are evolving, all of great Nature is transforming. Each one of these three evolving currents is directed and governed by various groups of DHYANIS (Sanskrit) or LOGOI (Greek) or Elohim (Hebrew). These groups of divine beings (Angels) are found atomically represented in our entire human constitution. They are Atomic Intelligences that work through our Organic System: Digestive System, Respiratory System, Circulatory System, Endocrine System, etc. When we ignorantly interfere in any of these Organic Systems we damage our organism and we get sick. -------------------- ![]() "Behold what I, a God, from Gods endure!

![]() EVOLUTION OF THE DISEMBODIED SOUL “The souls of the dead have to cross the astral atmospheres of the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. The astral atmosphere of each one of these planets vibrates within inner parallel universes. “Astral atmospheres, inner parallel universes penetrate and interpenetrate the astral atmosphere of the earth without blending. All these atmospheres crystallize within the air we breathe. “THE MOON: When the soul enters the astral atmosphere of the Moon, it feels strongly drawn toward the place where the body is buried, and it wants to act exactly as if it had flesh and bones. “These souls sit down (in the fifth dimension) to have meals in their homes and feel the same physical needs as before. “MERCURY: When the soul enters the astral atmosphere that in the terrestrial atmosphere vibrates with Mercury, it sees that the atmosphere is becoming clearer for it and all things appear even more beautiful to it than before. Those souls which in life were never able to adapt to all the circumstances of existence then suffer unspeakably. Those souls full of pride and haughtiness suffer because they want everybody to respect them, as in the past, for their money and lineage. “But in astral atmosphere of Mercury, souls are respected only for their saintliness and their wisdom. Souls which in life were humble, pious, and charitable feel happy in the sphere of Mercury. “VENUS: Later on, the soul enters the astral atmosphere of Venus. In this sphere, souls again become child-like, and en- joy things as children do, playing in nature's bosom. “In the astral atmosphere of Venus, we again become deeply religious and understand that all the religions of the world are pearls strung on the golden thread of divinity. In the sphere of Venus we again become mystical and find delight in nature's woods and mountains. We are happy. “Those souls which never had any kind of religion, materialistic souls, feel out of place there, like chickens in an unfamiliar barnyard. They suffer unspeakably. “Those who were delirious and fanatical about religious matters feel immense remorse for their evil deeds because they understand the harm which they did to others. They suffer unspeakably. “Some time afterwards the soul enters the Solar astral atmosphere. “THE SUN: In this astral atmosphere, we understand the oneness of lives; we understand that the life which throbs within the heart is the same life that throbs within the very heart of each world that it remembers throughout space. In the sphere of the Sun we under stand what Universal Brotherhood is, and we feel that we are a single great human family. “Those souls which were selfish experience deep remorse here in the Solar astral atmosphere, and great moral suffering. Those souls suffer the remorse for their evil deeds. In the Solar sphere, we see a brother in every face. “MARS: Later on, the soul enters the Martian sphere. In this sphere, we feel the longing to separate ourselves forever from the things of the material world. In this sphere we lead a life of mystical enchantment, and we feel the strong influence of Francis of Assisi, of Buddha. Here we feel that the life of each flower is our life. Then we long to withdraw from the material world forever. “JUPITER: Later, the soul enters the sphere of Jupiter. In this sphere, we understand that the religion we had on Earth was only a school which we had to go through. Here we give up that earthly religion, and then we enter cosmic consciousness. “SATURN: In the superior dimensions the soul becomes submerged much later in the sphere of Saturn and then floats delightedly among all the stars in space. It visits distant worlds and is submerged in an infinity full of indescribable music, of delightful orchestras, which resound within the immense chorale of eternity, where only the true happiness of the limitless space reigns.” Samael Aun Weor -------------------- ![]() "Behold what I, a God, from Gods endure!

What existed before the dawning of this Solar System within which we live, move and have our Being?
The Rig Veda answers with the following: ![]() “Nor Aught nor Nought existed; Yon bright sky was not, Nor heaven's broad roof outstretched above. What covered all? what sheltered ? what concealed? Was it the water's fathomless abyss ? There was not death-yet there was nought immortal, There was no confine betwixt day and night; The only One breathed breathless by itself, Other than It there nothing since has been. Darkness there was, and all at first was veiled In gloom profound-an ocean without light- The germ that still lay covered in the husk Burst forth, one nature, from the fervent heat. Who knows the secret ? who proclaimed it here? Whence, whence this manifold creation sprang? The Gods themselves came later into being- Who knows from whence this great creation sprang? That, whence all this great creation came, Whether Its will created or was mute, The Most High Seer that is in highest heaven, He knows it-or perchance even He knows not.” “Gazing into eternity..... Ere the foundations of the earth were laid, Thou wert. And when the subterranean flame Shall burst its prison and devour the frame Thou shalt be still as Thou wert before And knew no change, when time shall be no more. Oh! endless thought, divine Eternity.” -------------------- ![]() "Behold what I, a God, from Gods endure! Look down upon my shame, The cruel wrong that racks my frame, The grinding anguish that shall waste my strength" "Understand our final statement: whosoever becomes a disciple of a demon will go to the abyss to accompany his adorable demon-guru." - Samael Aun Weor |

Taoism
![]() "Be still like a mountain and flow like a great river." Lao Tse "We believe in the formless and eternal Tao, and we recognize all personified deities as being mere human constructs. We reject hatred, intolerance, and unnecessary violence, and embrace harmony, love and learning, as we are taught by Nature. We place our trust and our lives in the Tao, that we may live in peace and balance with the Universe, both in this mortal life and beyond." Lao Tse -------------------- ![]() "Behold what I, a God, from Gods endure!

![]() A Mahamanvantara (Great Cosmic Day or activity of matter and energy in our multidimensional Universe) is a period of 311,040,000,000,000 years, according to Brahminical calculations. And a Mahapralaya (Great Cosmic Night or inactivity of matter and energy within the Chaos) has the same quantity of years. ![]() Shiva is the Brahman symbol that represents the creative intelligence within the heavens of any Cosmos. -------------------- ![]() "Behold what I, a God, from Gods endure!

![]() Narayana-Vishnu Symbol of the Uncreated Light (Fohat) The creative intelligence principle of the universe is called Brahma in Sanskrit. Brahma, who is depicted as emerging from the navel lotus of Narayana-Vishnu, is a metaphor for all of creation: its laws, its inherent intelligence, and its consciously manifested potencies which symbolically operate as sages, saints, rishis, devas, celestials, and divine beings of all kinds of nature, temperament and description. Narayana-Vishnu is the Sanskrit name given in the Upanishads to that which is the sum and substance of all the manifested and unmanifested realms of cosmic evolution. Narayana-Vishnu is that which is neither created nor destroyed but transcends the creation, life and destruction of the universe. Brahma creates, operates through all the forms of this universe for trillions of years, then dissolves back into the Uncreated Light (Fohat) Narayana-Vishnu. Narayana-Vishnu, however, is neither created nor destroyed. Later, another Brahma (phenomenal universe) appears to begin the process again. Brahma is rooted in the Sanskrit word "Brih" which means "'to grow" or "to expand." -------------------- ![]() "Behold what I, a God, from Gods endure!

![]() It is Kabbalistically stated that Adam (Humanity) had two wives, Lilith and Nahemah. ![]() Lilith is the Mother of abortion, incest, homosexuality, contraception and pederasty, etc. ![]() Nahemah is the Mother of adultery, lust, fornication and sexual abuse, etc. ![]() The Infernal Worlds within the interior of the Earth are divided into two inhuman spheres: Lilith and Nahemah. In this epoch of racial devolution, the multitudes of the Left are devolving within the submerged spheres of Lilith and Nahemah. The path that leads to the Abyss is paved with good intentions. The Abyss is filled with sincerely mistaken ones. Fornicators and the enemies of sex are abundant in the Infernal Worlds. Homosexuals, lesbians, the henchmen of Lilith, who sterilize themselves and women who use contraceptives, devolve within the Infernal Worlds. The supporters of induced abortion and the women who wilfully abort are also seen in the sphere of Lilith. Male and female adulterers of the world are also found in the sphere of Nahemah. The Great Illuminated Beings, that is to say, Sabaoth, fight in order to make the multitudes of the Left comprehend the crude realities of the facts. Unfortunately, the multitudes of the Left think that they are doing very well. This terrestrial humanity has reached the maximum of perversity. Humanity frightfully devolves in this instant of mundane crises and total degeneration. This devolving terrestrial humanity is entering into the submerged mineral kingdom in surges. Human beings will destroy each other amongst their own selves in a horrifying way, if the expected cataclysm is delayed too long. Unquestionably, the ego becomes more and more complicated as time passes. The complicated ego becomes terribly malignant. Frightfully, this terrestrial humanity has already failed and will become more and more perverse through time. To live normally upon the Earth will be something more than impossible within a short period of time. Malignity will be so great that within a short period of time, human beings will, in fact, have two thoughts in their minds: First, to kill; second, to be killed. Very shortly, in the direction that we are going, death, assassination, vice and perversity, multiplied to its maximum, will reign in every house. The great catastrophe that is expected has converted itself into a non-delayable necessity. Only the great catastrophe can save us from the most horrifying terrors that the ego will let loose over the face of the Earth. We presently have no more hope, except for the universal blazing Fire. -------------------- ![]() "Behold what I, a God, from Gods endure!

![]() THE SEVEN CHURCHES The seven churches mentioned in the Apocalypse of Saint John are not on the Asian continent as is presumed by the ignoramuses. The seven churches are in the spinal column (called Assiah in Kabbalah). The seven churches are connected to the seven chakras. The Apocalypse (Revelation) of Saint John is a book sealed with seven seals. This book is the Human Being. No one except the Lamb (symbol of fire), the Innermost which lies within us, can open this book and remove the Seven Seals. The seven churches are seven nerve centers in the spinal column that are connected to seven superior senses (chakras). EPHESUS: The first church is the Church of Ephesus. It is located in the coccygeal cavity. Within it is the sacred serpent (Kundalini), the metal snake, the bronze serpent that healed the Israelites in the wilderness. Ephesus is connected to the Chakra Muladhara. When this church is opened, we acquire power over volcanoes and earthquakes and over the creatures that live under the ground. SMYRNA: When the serpent reaches the prostate, it awakens the second Church of Smyrna, and we acquire power over water and storms. Smyrna is connected to the Chakra Swadhistana. PERGAMUM: When the sacred serpent rises in the central channel of the spinal column to the level of the navel, the third church, the Church of Pergamus, is awakened. We then acquire power over lightning, fire, and erupting volcanoes. We can command volcanoes, and they obey us. We can command fire, and the universal fire obeys us. Pergamus is connected to the Chakra Manipura. THYATIRA: When the snake reaches the heart, the Church of Thyatira is awakened. This church gives us power over cyclones, over the breeze, and over hurricanes. Thyatira is connected to the Chakra Anahata. SARDIS: When the sacred snake reaches the level of the throat, we can hear the speech of the angels, the words of the souls of the dead, etc. This is the Church of Sardis. Sardis is connected to the Chakra Vishuddha. PHILADELPHIA: When the sacred snake rises through the spinal column and reaches as high as the brow, then we can see things of the other world: astral light, the souls of the dead, archangels, seraphim, powers, virtues, thrones, etc. This is the Church of Philadelphia and it is connected to the Chakra Ajna. LAODICEA: When the snake reaches the upper part of the cranium, the Church of Laodicea opens. This is the diamond eye. The one who opens this eye knows all the things of heaven and earth. He becomes terribly divine. He sees everywhere; he is aware of everything. Laodicea is connected to the Chakra Sahasrara. After this, the soul unites with the Innermost and becomes a master; prophet, wise man, enlightened being, possessor of power. He sees all, hears all and ignores nothing. Once the soul has united totally, absolutely with the Innermost, then it becomes and angel. Angels are perfect people. -------------------- ![]() "Behold what I, a God, from Gods endure!

![]() Thor is the Norse God of Thunder. He is also a son of Odin and one of the most powerful Gods; he represents the Fire of Kundalini or the Sexual Fire of the Holy Spirit. Usually, He was portrayed as a big, powerful man with a red beard and eyes of lighting. Despite his ferocious appearance, he was very popular as the defender of both gods and humans against the forces of evil. Norse initiates visualized him during the sexual act as a thunderstorm of fire descending from heaven and riding a chariot pulled by goats Tanngrisni (symbol of sexual potency). Lightning flashed whenever they imagine a human defect that they wish to destroy with their sexual power, this power was symbolize by his hammer Mjollnir. Thor wears the belt Megingjard (symbol of sexual transmutation) which doubles his already considerable strength. His hall is Bilskirnir (symbol of the sexual organs), which is located in the region Thrudheim ("place of might"). His greatest enemy is Jormungand, the Midgard Serpent of Fornication or Tempting Serpent of Eden. His Teutonic equivalent is Donar, the Romans saw in him their god Jupiter. Thursday (Thor's-day) is named after him. -------------------- ![]() "Behold what I, a God, from Gods endure!

THE ARK AND THE DELUGE[ ![]() HINDU PANTHEON Vaivasvata is the name of the seventh Manu, the forefather of the post-diluvian race, or our own fifth humankind. A reputed son of Surya (the Sun), he became, after having been saved in an ark (built by the order of Vishnu) from the Deluge, the father of Ikshwaku, the founder of the solar race of kings. Vaivasvata Manu is the Indian Noah, connected with the Matsya (or the fish) Avatar of Vishnu. The Secret Doctrine tells us that Manu, the Son of Swayambhuva, was no man, but the representation of the first human races evolved with the help of the Dhyan Chohans at the beginning of the first round. But we are told in the Laws of Manu (Book I, 80) that there are 14 Manus for every Kalpa -- or interval from one minor Pralaya to another -- and that in the present divine age there have been as yet seven Manus. Those who know that there are seven rounds, of which we have passed three and are now in the fourth; and who are taught that there are seven dawns and seven twilights or 14 Manvantaras; that at the beginning of every round and at the end, and on, and between the planets there is an awakening to illusive life, and an awakening to real life; and that, moreover, there are Root-Manus, and what we have to clumsily translate Seed-Manus -- the seeds for the human races of the forthcoming rounds (or the Sishtas -- the surviving fittest; a mystery divulged only to those who have passed their third degree in initiation) -- those who have learned all that will be better prepared to understand the meaning of the following. The Great Flood had several meanings, it referred as also does the "Fall," to both spiritual and physical, cosmic and terrestrial, events: as above, so it is below. The first Cosmic Flood refers to primordial creation, or the formation of Heaven and the Earth; in which case Chaos and the great Deep stand for the "Flood," and the Moon for the "Mother," from which proceed all the life-germs. But the terrestrial Deluge and its story has also its dual application. In one case it has reference to that mystery when mankind was saved from utter destruction by the mortal woman being made the receptacle of the human seed at the end of the third race, and in the other to the real and historical Atlantean submersion. In both cases the "Host" -- or the Manu which saved the seed -- is called Vaivasvata Manu. The story told in the Mahabharata strikes the keynote, and yet it needs to be explained by the secret sense contained in the Bhagavad-Gita. It is the prologue to the drama of our (fifth) Humanity. While Vaivasvata was engaged in devotion on the river bank, a fish craves his protection from a bigger fish. He saves it and places it in a jar, where, growing larger and larger, it communicates to him the news of the forthcoming deluge. It is the well-known "Matsya Avatar," the first Avatar of Vishnu, the Dagon of the Chaldean Xisuthrus, and many other things besides. The story is too well known to need repetition. Vishnu orders a ship to be built, in which Manu is said to be saved along with the seven Rishis, the latter, however, being absent from the other texts. Here the seven Rishis stand for the seven races, the seven principles and various other things; for there is again a double mystery involved in this manifold allegory. In the symbolism of every nation, "the Deluge" stands for chaotic unsettled matter -- Chaos itself; and the Water for the feminine principle -- the "Great Deep." As the Greek Lexicon of Parkhurst gives it -- "(ark) answers to the ... emblem of the female generative power, the Arg or Arca, in which the germ of nature (and of mankind) floats or broods on the great Abyss of the waters, during the interval which takes place after every mundane (or racial) cycle." Ark is also the mystic name of the divine spirit of life which broods over chaos. Now Vishnu is the divine Spirit, as an abstract principle, and also as the Preserver and Generator, or Giver of life -- the third person of the Trimurti (composed of Brahma, the Creator, Siva, the Destroyer, and Vishnu, the Preserver). Vishnu is shown in the allegory as guiding, under the form of a fish, the ark of Vaivasvata Manu clean across the waters of the Flood. There is no use in expatiating upon the esoteric meaning of the word fish. Its theological meaning is phallic, but the metaphysical, divine. Jesus is called the "Fish," and so were Vishnu and Bacchus; the "Saviour" of mankind being but the monogram of the god Bacchus called the fish. Says St. Augustine of Jesus, "For he is a fish that lives in the midst of waters." Christians call themselves little fishes -- pisciculi -- in their sacred mysteries. "So many fishes bred in the water, and saved by one great fish," says Tertullian of Christ and the Church. As to the seven Rishis in the Ark, they symbolized the seven principles, which became complete in man only after he had separated, and become a human, and no longer a divine creature. Like the Indian Rishis, the (Biblical) Patriarchs are all convertible in their numbers, as well as interchangeable. According to the subject to which they relate they become ten, twelve, seven or five, and even fourteen, as they have the same esoteric meaning as the Manus and Rishis. The Creators are the Rishis, most of whom are credited with the authorship of the mantras or Hymns of the Rig Veda. They are sometimes seven, sometimes ten, when they become Prajapati (Progenitors), the "Lord of Beings"; then they rebecome the seven and the fourteen Manus, as the representatives of the seven and fourteen cycles of existence (Days of Brahma); thus answering to the seven Æons, when at the end of the first stage of evolution they are transformed into the stellar Rishis, the Saptarishis; while their human doubles appear as heroes, Kings and Sages on this earth. There were "gods" on Earth in those days -- gods, and not men, as we know them now, says the tradition. Vaivasvata Manu is again shown as saving mankind (allegorically it is mankind, or a portion of it, the fourth race, which is saved); so also he saves the Fifth race during the destruction of the last Atlanteans, the remnants that perished 850,000 years ago, after which there was no great submersion until the day of Plato's Atlantis, or Poseidonis, known to the Egyptians only because it happened in such relatively recent times. Xisuthrus, the Chaldean Noah, is saved and translated alive to heaven -- like Enoch -- with the seven gods, the Kabirim, or the seven divine Titans. Again the Chinese Yao has seven figures which sail with him and which he will animate when he lands, and use for "human seed." Osiris, when he enters the ark, or solar boat, takes seven Rays with him. Thus "Noah" symbolizes both the root-Manu and the seed-Manu, or the Power which developed the planetary chain, and our earth, and the Seed Race (the Fifth) which was saved while the last sub-races of the Fourth perished. The genealogies (of the Manus) embrace a period of three and a half Rounds. They speak of pre-human periods, and explain the descent into generation of every Manu -- the first manifested sparks of the ONE Unity -- and show, furthermore, each of these human sparks dividing into, and multiplying by, first, the Pitars, the human ancestors, then by human races. No being can become God, or Deva, unless he passes through the human cycles. ![]() BABYLONIAN PANTHEON ![]() The Legend of the Deluge According to Berosus. "After the death of Ardates, his son Xisuthrus reigned eighteen sari. In his time happened a great Deluge; the history of which is thus described. The Deity, Cronus, appeared to him in a vision, and warned him that upon the 15th day of the month Daesius there would be a flood, by which mankind would be destroyed. He therefore enjoined him to write a history of the beginning, procedure and conclusion of all things; and to bury it in the city of the Sun at Sippara; and to build a vessel, and take with him into it his friends and relations; and to convey on board everything necessary to sustain life, together with all the different animals, both birds and quadrupeds, and trust himself fearlessly to the deep. Having asked the Deity, whither he was to sail? he was answered, 'To the Gods': upon which he offered up a prayer for the good of mankind. He then obeyed the divine admonition; and built a vessel 5 stadia in length, and 2 in breadth. Into this he put everything which he had prepared; and last of all conveyed into it his wife, his children, and his friends. After the flood had been upon the earth, and was in time abated, Xisuthrus sent out birds from the vessel; which, not finding any food nor any place whereupon they might rest their feet, returned to him again. After an interval of some days, he sent them forth a second time; and they now returned with their feet tinged with mud. He made a trial a third time with these birds; but they returned to him no more: from whence he judged that the surface of the earth had appeared above the waters. He therefore made an opening in the vessel, and upon looking out found that it was stranded upon the side of some mountain; upon which he immediately quitted it with his wife, his daughter, and the pilot. Xisuthrus then paid his adoration to the earth, and, having constructed an altar, offered sacrifices to the gods, and, with those who had come out of the vessel with him, disappeared. They, who remained within, finding that their companions did not return, quitted the vessel with many lamentations, and called continually on the name of Xisuthrus. Him they saw no more; but they could distinguish his voice in the air, and could hear him admonish them to pay due regard to religion; and likewise informed them that it was upon account of his piety that he was translated to live with the gods; that his wife and daughter, and the pilot, had obtained the same honour. To this he added that they should return to Babylonia; and, it was ordained, search for the writings at Sippara, which they were to make known to mankind: moreover that the place, wherein they then were, was the land of Armenia. The rest having heard these words, offered sacrifices to the gods; and taking a circuit journeyed towards Babylonia." (Cory, Ancient Fragments, London, 1832, p. 26ff.) GREEK PANTHEON THE DELUGE OF DEUKALION DEUKALION with his wife Pyrrha, was the only one saved from the great flood, sent by an angry Zeus, that destroyed all life on the Earth. The Greek equivalent to Noah was Deukalion son of Prometheus. Zeus-Jove sent a flood to destroy all the evil life on the Earth, Prometheus foretold his son, the righteous Deukalion and his wife Pyrrha, daughter of Prometheus's brother Epimetheus and Pandora, to save themselves by building an ark. After the deluge they were inside the ark for nine days and nights, finally they landed on the Mount Parnassus near Delphi. Deukalion then made an offering to Jove his Saviour, and Zeus responded: I will send Hermes-Mercury with a promise of making any wish come true. Deukalion then re-populated the earth by throwing his mother's (the earth) bones (stones) behind him. Deukalion and his wife Pyrrha took stones and threw them over their shoulders, and the stones became the new human race: Deukalion's stones became men, and Pyrrha's stones became women. The new race was dark and short in comparison of the previous that was tall and blond. Deukalion and his wife Pyrrha had a child, Hellen. Hellen or "Greek". The offshoots of the Hellens or Hellenic race are the Aeolians, Dorians, Achaeans and Ionians. ![]() MAYAN PANTHEON Remains of the great Mayan Deluge, when Heart of Heaven, called Huracán send a deluge to destroy mankind! ![]() Popol Vuh: "Immediately the wooden figures (without soul) were annihilated, destroyed, broken up, and killed. "A flood was brought about by the Heart of Heaven; a great flood was formed which fell on the heads of the wooden creatures (without soul). "Of tzité, the flesh of man was made, but when woman was fashioned by the Creator and the Maker, her flesh was made of rushes. These were the materials the Creator and the Maker wanted to use in making them. "But those that they had made, that they had created, did not think (did not have Objective Reasoning), did not speak with their Creator, their Maker. And for this reason they were killed, they were deluged. A heavy resin fell from the sky. "The one called Xecotcovach came and gouged out their eyes; "Camalotz came and cut off their heads; "Cotzbalam came and devoured their flesh. "Tucumbalam came, too, and broke and mangled their bones and their nerves, and ground and crumbled their bones. "This was to punish them because they had not thought of their mother, nor their father, the Heart of Heaven, called Huracán. And for this reason the face of the earth was darkened and a black rain began to fall, by day and by night. "Then came the small animals and the large animals, and sticks and stones struck their faces. And all began to speak: their earthen jars, their griddles, their plates, their pots, their grinding stones, all rose up and struck their faces. "You have done us much harm; you ate us, and now we shall kill you," said their dogs and birds of the barnyard. "And the grinding stones said: "We were tormented by you; every day, every day, at night, at dawn, all the time our faces went holi, holi, huqui, huqui, because of you. This was the tribute we paid you. But now that you are no longer men, you shall feel our strength. We shall grind and tear your flesh to pieces," said their grinding stones. "And then their dogs spoke and said: "Why did you give us nothing to eat? You scarcely looked at us, but you chased us and threw us out. You always had a stick ready to strike us while you were eating. "Thus it was that you treated us. You did not speak to us. Perhaps we shall not kill you now; but why did you not look ahead, why did you not think about yourselves? Now we shall destroy you, now you shall feel the teeth of our mouths; we shall devour you," said the dogs, and then, they destroyed their faces. "And at the same time, their griddles and pots spoke: "Pain and suffering you have caused us. Our mouths and our faces were blackened with soot; we were always put on the fire and you burned us as though we felt no pain. Now you shall feel it, we shall burn you," said their pots, and they all destroyed their [the wooden men's] faces. The stones of the hearth, which were heaped together, hurled themselves straight from the fire against their heads causing them pain. "The desperate ones [the men of wood] ran as quickly as they could; they wanted to climb to the tops of the houses, and the houses fell down and threw them to the ground; they wanted to climb to the treetops, and the trees cast them far away; they wanted to enter the caverns, and the caverns repelled them. "So was the ruin of the men who had been created and formed, the men made to be destroyed and annihilated; the mouths and faces of all of them were mangled. "And it is said that their descendants are the monkeys (Apes) which now live in the forests; these are all that remain of them because their flesh was made only of wood by the Creator and the Maker. "And therefore the monkey (Ape) looks like man, and is an example of a generation of men which were created and made but were only wooden figures." ![]() BUDDHIST PANTHEON An ancient Manuscript approx. 4000 years old, found in the Buddhist temple of Lhasa, in Tibet, textually say: "When the star of Baal dropped to the right where there is nothing more than sky and sea, the seven cities trembled and worried with its gold towers and transparent temples, as the leaves of trees do during a storm. A torrent of fire fall over the palace. Cries from dying persons and moans in the crowd filled the airs. The people went to find a hiding place in the temples and in the castles. So the wise Mu, great priest of Ra-Mu stands up and says: - Didn't I predict all this to come? "Men and women, dressed with their precious clothes, covered with precious stones, begged: - Mu, save us! "Mu answers:- You will die, with your slaves and your treasures. From your ashes new peoples will come. If these peoples forget they should dominate the material things not only to progress, but also not to be diminished, the same fate will surprise them. The flames and the fog choked the words of the wiseman. "The country and its inhabitants were smashed and swallowed in the abysms (of the oceans)." On a Mayan Manuscript preserved in the British Museum, the following can literally be read: "In the year 6 KAN, in the 11th Mulac, in the Month Zac, there occurred terrible earthquakes, which continued without interruption until the 13th Chuen. The Country of ‘The Hills of Mud,’ the Atlantean land was sacrificed; being twice upheaved it suddenly disappeared during the night, the basin being continually shaken by volcanic forces. Being confined, these caused the land to sink and rise several times and in various places. At last the surface gave away and ten countries were torn asunder and scattered; unable to stand the force of the convulsions, they sank with their 64 Million inhabitants 8,000 years before this book was written." Sample of degenerate humanoid-specimens from Lemuria and Atlantis according to the bone-fossils found in different areas of present Aryan civilization. After the cataclysms which destroy both civilizations these humanoid-specimens lived savagely practicing bestiality. -------------------- ![]() "Behold what I, a God, from Gods endure!

![]() ![]() After the flood that destroyed the Atlantean Civilization, the cradle of the Aryan Root Race that descended from the Atlantean-Semites, established themselves in Central Asia; and the Ark, Arcane (Known or understood by only a few) or Arcanum (Specialized knowledge or detail that is mysterious to the average person) landed among the secret Initiatic colleges of Mount Ararat among the Aryan Initiates and they established Eden. Such Initiatic knowledge of the Ark or Arcanum developed in Eden (that in a fore time was situated in Mesopotamia between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers) much later became the school for Chaldeans and Magis, the Alehim. Such Initiatic knowledge of the Ark or Arcanum of Eden seems to be related to the famous Adi-Varsha of ancient Lemurians and even to the Garden of Hesperides of the submerged Atlantean continent. The Initiatic knowledge of the Ark or Arcanum of Eden is a sexual mystery which was secretly known in the great colleges of mysteries of Chaldea, India, Babylon, Mexico and Egypt. This Ark or Arcanum was disputed by the Initiates who had many colleges of mysteries in the land of Shinar (Babylon). This is why it is Kabbalistically written: "Nimrod (the Intellect) began to be a mighty one in the earth. "He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel....." "And the whole earth (after the deluge) was of one language and of one speech (because they knew the Arcanum or Ark of the Covenant, Ark of alliance, etc.). "And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. "And they (alchemically) said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. "And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. "And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. "And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. "Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. "So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. "Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth." Explanation of the Tower of Babel in "The Story of Phaleg from Eliphas Levi's Livre des Splendeurs (1894)" "When all men were gathered together on the plain of Sennar (the Ninth Sphere), under the reign of Nimrod (the Intellect), there was a great architect named Phaleg (the Phallus). "He was the son of Eber, father of the Hebrews, and to protect mankind from a new flood, he drew the plan of a tower. "The first section of the tower was to be round, having twelve doors and seventy-two pillars. "The second was to be square with nine storeys, the third, a triangular spiral with forty-two turns. "The fourth was to be cylindrical with seventy-two storeys. "Seven staircases joined each of the storeys to the others. "The doors of each storey were to be opened and closed by means of mechanisms whose functioning was to be guarded as a hierarchic secret. "All inhabitants of the tower were to have equal civil rights, for those at the top could not live without the assistance of those at the bottom, and those below could not protect themselves from surprise attack without the vigilance of those above. "Such was the plan of Phaleg. "But the workers were disloyal to the great architect. "Secrets from above were revealed to those who worked below, the doors would no longer close, some tried to barricade them, others forced an entry in order to regain the safety of the heights. "And in addition, all wished to work as they liked, without consulting the plans of Phaleg. "Confusion sprang up in their language as it did in their work, and part of the tower collapsed while the rest remained unfinished, for the workers refused to aid one another. "And confusion reigned in their language for there was no more unity in their thought. "Phaleg then understood that he had hoped for too much from men in thinking they would understand one another. "But these men transferred the fault to him and denounced him to Nimrod. "Nimrod condemned him to death. "Phaleg disappeared and it was not known what happened to him. "Nimrod believed he had had him killed and he erected an idol to which he gave the name Phaleg and which gave out oracls in favour of Nimrod's tyranny. But in reality Phaleg had fled into the desert. "He made a trip round the known world as expiation for the too generous error he had committed. "And everywhere he stopped, he built a triangular tabernacle. "One of these monuments was rediscovered in Prussia in 553 in the digs of a salt mine. "Fifteen cubits below ground level a triangular building was found; inside it there was a white marble column on whose base the entire story was written in Hebrew. "Beside this column a tombstone was discovered, covered with dust, but under which lay an agate panel bearing the following epitaph: "Here lie the ashes of our G A of the Tower of Babel... "Adonai has forgiven him the sins of men, for he loved them. "In humiliation he died for them, and thus he has paid for the magnificence of the idols of Nimrod." -------------------- ![]() "Behold what I, a God, from Gods endure!

The mystery of the Ark of Noah is hidden within the Kabbalistic Hebrew letters!
Explanation: 14: Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. ![]() Action - Assiah – the spinal column – Kundalini – working with gopher wood and pitch: symbol of Tantra, the seal of the living God. 15: And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, The letter Shin (Divine Fire) symbolizes the Holy Trinity, the Three Primary Forces of the Universe. These three forces are placed within our three brains and are related to the work with the three factors of the revolution of the consciousness. the breadth of it fifty cubits, Nun is the leviathan or animal-sexual-potency that we must learn how to use, whether to the right or to the left without losing the equilibrium. and the height of it thirty cubits. Lamed: God is the breath of fire that emerges from Klipoth and get lost within the darkness of the uncreated light. The K H (Kosmic Human) emerges from Klipoth and is lost within the darkness of the unknowable divine. He becomes a King in Hell and Heaven. This is why God (EL) is written with only two Kabbalistic letters: Aleph = breath, air) and Lamed = the serpent that works with the Atom Nous in the heart in order to attain Daath, knowledge .The upper part of the letter Lamed is Adam who hides the secret of the brain; and the lower part is Eve, who hides the secrets of sexuality. The letter Lamed: Adam and Eve, male and female, represent the spiritual forces of Abba and Aima (giving and receiving). The Ark with three stories is the complete man awakened in the three superior worlds: Yetzirah, Briah and Atziluth.The union of Adam and Eve in the letter Lamed is related to the secret of Daath or knowledge, as is written: "And (through Lamed, the Serpent that rises) Adam (the brain) knew his wife Eve (the sexual organs)." or (and the Brain, through the atom Nous [Noah] in the heart, knew his wife and they build the Ark [tevah] or To Soma Heliakon, the Merkabah, the Solar Man) ![]() 16: A window (spiritual vision) shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit (Aleph) shalt thou finish it above (in Atziluth); and the door (Yesod) of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it. The letter Aleph also represent the three primary atomic forces in the brain: Pineal gland, Pituitary gland and the magnetic field at the root of the nose. The building of the Ark Noah (the atom Nous) was a righteous man (Noetic force); he was pure-hearted (intuitive) in his age; Noah (the atom Nous) walked with God. … Noah (the atom Nous) had three sons: Shem (willpower), Ham (mind) and Japheth (emotion)." (Gen. 6.9f) Make yourself an ark - tevah …" (Gen. 6.14) The tevah is the Human body. (Zohar Hadash)” Noah (the atom Nous) have been joined to the ark (tevah, the human body) from the day it was created within the womb, since then Noah dwells within the left ventricle of the heart. The Kabbalists refer to the four worlds as follows: the worlds of emanation, creation, formation and action. These worlds correspond with four dimensions of divine creative energies. Animal (Chaia in Hebrew) is the symbol of the psyche trapped within the bestial ego! The lower souls are divided into two general categories: Nephesh and Ruach, these are symbolized by fish and land animals. The two prototypes of these lower souls are the leviathan and the behemoth. In this day and age, these two categories of souls correspond to the two innate tendencies and attractions of the psyche, to either the concealed and secret knowledge within the superior dimensions of the Tree of Life or to the identification with Maya (ilusion) of this material world. These two prototypes, leviathan and behemot, must blend through self-realization by means of the annihilation of the "ego" in the forty nine levels of the mind, subsequently they must blend with Neshamah (the superior soul). The mixture of the three of them makes the true human into the image of God. These true human beings blend their consciousness with Kether (the Ancient of Days, the Cosmic Christ) in order to integrate themselves into an absolutely higher level of consciousness (Yehidah and Chaia). ![]() The LETTER MEM in kabbalah symbolizes the creative waters of Genesis. NUMBER Forty: Forty days of the flood. Forty years of wandering in the Desert. Forty Days of fasting in the wilderness by Jesus and the Forty days after his resurrection. ![]() This is how you write Noah in Hebrew. Yes, only two letters! Kabbalistic Explanation: ![]() LETTER NUN The Messiah: Heir to the Throne In Aramaic, nun means "fish." Mem, the waters of the sea are the natural medium of the nun, fish. The nun "swims" within Mem, the sexual waters of Yesod. NUN is the "Leviathan" that kabbalistically has the same value of Malkuth, ("kingdom," 496). In Kabbalah, Malkuth, in the world of Divine Emanation, is represented by the sea, whose tides are controlled by the power of the moon in Yesod. LETTER HE = the Womb Expression--Thought, Speech, Action Corresponds to the feminine aspect of the Sephirah Yesod, whose function is to develop Nun (the sperm) in the form of a human being, as explained in Gnosis. This is the Kosmos Human that as a fish (Nun) emerges from the ark-anum (He) the womb that floats on MEM the waters of sexuality. -------------------- ![]() "Behold what I, a God, from Gods endure!

Osiris RA is the representation of the Cosmic Christ. Osiris RA represents the Holy Trinity which in Christianity is formed by: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The one who incarnated the Cosmic Christ in the time of Egypt, was called an Osirified One. When the Egyptians were refering at him as the Holy Trinity in the World of Atziluth: Kether, Chokmah and Binah, they called him Osiris-Ra. ![]() However, in the World of Briah he was just Osiris representing the Father while Isis the Mother and Horus the Child. Do not mistake the trinity in the World of Atziluth (Divine Archetypes) with the Trinity in the World of Briah (Creation). -------------------- ![]() "Behold what I, a God, from Gods endure!

ALCHEMY
Alchemical Mystery of the Caduceus of Mercury ![]() In Alchemy, sperm is the sexual fluid in both males and females. So, Alchemically Mercury is nothing more than the electric essence of the sperm, however, the physical sperm is brute Mercury. When this sperm or brute Mercury is transmuted into energy, then we elaborate Mercury, which is the electric essence of the sperm. The Alchemists from the middle-ages symbolized the brute mercury as a black virgin, whereas the white virgin “Stella Maris” (Mary the virgin of the sea) symbolizes the electric essence of the sperm that has been already fecundated by the sexual fire or sulphur, the Holy Spirit. Consequently, there are three types of Mercury. Firstly, Brute Mercury, which means the Hexiohehary, or sexual fluidic sperm. Second, the electric essence of the sperm, which is the outcome of the transmutation of the sexual libido (the sperm) into energy; therefore, this electric essence 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 Sulphur. In Alchemy, Sulphur is the Sexual Fire of the Holy Spirit. The oriental Esoterists know that when the positive and negative currents of Mercury come into contact in the Triveni, close to the coccygeal bone, then a third force awakens by an electric induction. This force is the Kundalini or the Fire of the Holy Spirit. When the Kundalini or the Fire of the Holy Spirit awakens in the body, it is designed as a spiral, serpentine fire (Moses’ serpent of bronze) that is developed in the body of the Ascetic, near the coccygeal bone. Thus, the Mercury which has been fertilized by Sulphur or the Fire of the Holy Spirit is the result of the mixture of this Sacred Fire, or Sulphur, with the electric essence of the Mercury. This mixture of Mercury and Sulphur ascends through the medullar spinal canal to the brain, awakening the superior centres of the brain. The surplus of this Mercury fertilized by Sulphur must cause the Second Birth or virtual creation of the existential superior bodies of the Being that allow us to penetrate into the superior dimensions of Nature and the Cosmos. The sexual transmutation of the “ENS SEMINIS” into creative energy is made possible when we carefully avoid the spasm, the orgasm of the fornicators. The bi-polarization of this type of cosmic energy in the human organism was analyzed since ancient times in the Initiatic Colleges of Egypt, Mexico, Peru, Greece, Chaldea, Rome, Phoenicia, etc., etc., etc. The ascension of our seminal energy to the brain is performed thanks to a certain pair of nervous cords that in the form of an eight splendidly unfold to the right and to the left of the dorsal spine. We now have arrived at the mysterious Caduceus of Mercury with its two wings that symbolize the Spirit or electric energy; these wings symbolize the wings of the angels that are always opened. This mentioned pair of nervous cords can never be found with the scalpel, because they are rather of a semi-ethereal, semi-physical nature. These two nervous cords are the two witnesses of the Apocalypse (revelation), the two olive trees and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth (sexual potency), and if any man will hurt them, fire proceeded out of their mouth, and devoured their enemies. In Sanskrit these two nervous cords are known with the names of IDA and PINGALA. The Taoism call them Yin and Yan and in Kabbalah they are called OD and OB and the energy that rises towards the brain is call AUR. ![]() “Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." -------------------- ![]() "Behold what I, a God, from Gods endure!

![]() Samson and the Lion ![]() Hercules and the Lion If we study the tasks of Hercules, we find that the first task that he performs in relation to his Self-realization is to kill the Lion of Nemea. If we study the Bible in relation to the Myth of Samson and Delilah, we discover that the first task of Samson also is to kills a lion. The Lion of Judah is LEO the House of the SUN, the Solar Light, which is called by the Alchemists: Astral Light The Astral Light or Solar Light coagulates within the human organism as sexual energy; this is one of the great instruments of magical power, but it is categorically forbidden to the Alchemist or Magus to become intoxicated with passion (fornication). Samson and Delilah ![]() Hercules, Dejanira and Nessus "Woe to the Samson of the Kabbalah if he permits himself to be put asleep by Delilah! The Hercules of science, who exchanges his royal scepter for the distaff of Omphale, will soon experience the vengeance of Dejanira, and nothing will be left for him but the pyre of Mount Oetna, in order to escape the devouring folds of the coat of Nessus." Sensual love (fornication) is ever an illusion, for it is the outcome of fantasy (Lust). The Astral Light (sexual energy) is the universal seducer, symbolized by the (tempting) serpent of Genesis. This torrent of universal hormonal creative life that runs within our blood is represented in all religious doctrines by the expiatory fire of hell and is the instrument in order to enter into initiation, the monster one needs to overcome, the enemy to subdue; it is Lucifer, the Cherubim placed at the east of the garden of Eden (sex) which hold a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life (the spinal medulla). -------------------- ![]() "Behold what I, a God, from Gods endure! Look down upon my shame, The cruel wrong that racks my frame, The grinding anguish that shall waste my strength" "Understand our final statement: whosoever becomes a disciple of a demon will go to the abyss to accompany his adorable demon-guru." - Samael Aun Weor |

ZEN BUDDHISM
![]() Zen Master A soldier named Nobushige came to Hakuin, and asked: "Is there really a heaven and a hell?" "Who are you?" inquired Hakuin. "I am a samurai," the warrior replied. "You, a samurai!" exclaimed Hakuin. "What kind of ruler would have you as his guard? Your face looks like that of a beggar." Nobushige became so angry that he began to draw his sword, but Hakuin continued: "So you have a sword! Your weapon is probably much too dull to cut off my head." ![]() As Nobushige drew his sword Hakuin remarked: "Here open the gates of hell!" At these words the samurai, perceiving the master's discipline, sheathed his sword and bowed. "Here open the gates of Heaven," said Hakuin. -------------------- ![]() "Behold what I, a God, from Gods endure! Look down upon my shame, The cruel wrong that racks my frame, The grinding anguish that shall waste my strength" "Understand our final statement: whosoever becomes a disciple of a demon will go to the abyss to accompany his adorable demon-guru." - Samael Aun Weor |

Quetzalcoatl, Kukulcan, Viracocha and Gukumatz were Symbols of the Cosmic Christ in Pre-Columbian America
![]() The Feathered Serpent is the Archetype of the Divine Human. It is the union of heaven (divine) and earth (human), the divine-human. The Feathered (Precious) Serpent or Plumed-Serpent was known as Quetzalcoatl. As a spiritual teacher, Quetzalcoatl brought to the people of Anahuac the knowledge (Gnosis) of the ‘solar body’, through the process of psychological death and re-birth through the mysteries of the feathered serpent. ![]() Quetzalcoatl, the Cosmic Christ is the 'once and future king’ of all religions destined to reincarnate each time when the world is in spiritual darkness. The word Quetzalcoatl is derived from Quetzal and Coatl - literally Quetzal Serpent. A Quetzal is a brightly plumed tropical bird with brilliant bronze, green and red plumage (symbol of the Holy Spirit). Coatl is the sacred snake whose movements reflect the way that Kundalini energy moves up the spinal column awakening the Churches or Chakras of light-powers that spark in each one of our seven bodies. When this serpentine energy reaches the pituitary gland, the pineal gland and the crown chakra at the top of the head, we open the door of the light of heavens and this light enters into the dark of the earth (our body). Quetzal is the sacred bird that connects our consciousness with the Heavenly realms of the universe. Together the Quetzal and the Coatl are the creatures that represents in earth and heaven the sacred balance of female and male, the Father and Mother. ![]() Quetzalcoatl was known as Kukulcan by the Mayas, Viracocha by the Incas and Gukumatz by the Quiche Maya. Each was associated with Venus, the Morning Star. ![]() “Quetzalcoatl was a uniting symbol achieving union of opposites: heaven and earth, morning and evening star, matter and spirit… the transcendental meaning of this great myth is clear. It is an expression of the universal doctrine of sin and redemption, of death and resurrection, the transfiguration of man into god… this myth, in the broadest possible terms, enunciates the principle of all Creation: the incarnation of divine light, purity, and spirituality into gross matter; and then the agonizing redemption of matter by spirituality—the immortal theme of all world religions.” ![]() VIRACOCHA from Peru-Inca The supreme deity of the Incas,Viracocha was a storm god and a sun god,who was represented as wearing the sun for a crown,with thunderbolts in his hands,and tears descending from his eyes as rain. Like Odin,his wandered the earth disguised as a beggar,and wept when he saw the plight of the creatures he had created,but knew that he must sustain them.Viracocha made the earth,the stars,the sky and mankind,but his first creation displeased him,so he destroyed it with a flood,and made a new,better one,taking to his wanderings as a beggar,teaching his new creations the rudiments of civilisation,as well as working numerous miracles. Viracocha eventually disappeared across the Pacific Ocean,and never returned -------------------- ![]() "Behold what I, a God, from Gods endure!
