Science
So it is with religion and science; united two in one they were infallible, for the spiritual intuition was there to supply the limitations of physical senses. Separated, exact science rejects the help of the inner voice, while religion becomes merely dogmatic theology -- each is but a corpse without a soul. - H.P Blavatsky 'Isis Unveiled' (1877)
Gnosis, the root of all religions, is also the root of all sciences, for it investigates the truth of all phenomena, without the limitations of beliefs, theories, and dogma. That is, real Gnosis is conscious science.
We the Gnostics separate ourselves from the antithetical struggle which exists between metaphysics (religion) and dialectical materialism (official science). Those are the two poles of ignorance, the two antitheses of error. We walk on another path; we are Gnostics, we consider life as a whole. - Samael Aun Weor, Revolution of the Dialectic
A deep and precise knowledge of the functioning of inner and outer nature is of vital importance to the sincere spiritual seeker, who must seek not to escape from life and nature, but to master it.
We need an authentic scientific revolution. [...] The three-dimensional world is not the “be all and end all.” Indeed, it is nothing but a leaf of the tree of life. Let us think of the fourth dimension. Come now, to revolutionize science. - Samael Aun Weor, Cosmic Teachings of a Lama
14: Perpetual Motion
Worthy audience, respectable gentlemen, honorable ladies, our lecture will briefly discuss perpetual motion. Periodically, in some way or another the intellectual loafers become preoccupied with making a perpetual motion mechanism, on account of which the public opinion becomes intensely agitated. People always get into their heads the challenge of inventing a mechanism that will run perpetually, but this is not possible due to the inevitability of worn-out materials. It is clear that the momentum of any perpetual motion machine ceases if the pieces of the mechanism are worn out. Thus, the outcome of it all is that when trying to discover the law of perpetual motion some people have ended up in insane asylums. {rokbox album=|Perpetual Motion|}images/stories/perpetual-motion/*{/rokbox} The least that one can do is to laugh when seeing so many wiseacres’ machines that fail to fulfill their function. What ingenious and complicated mechanisms have the...
1: The Transformation of Energy
This is a transcription of the audio lecture 1: Transformation of Energy, which you can download for free. The title of the lecture this morning is the Transformation of Energies. This is related with the law of three that is also called the law of the Holy Triamazikamno (Triamazicamno); likewise it is related with the law of the Harmonial-Reciprocal-Nourishment of Matter in all Cosmic-Units, which is also called the law of the Most Great Common Cosmic Trogoautoegocrat. We always state that any atom is a trio of matter, energy, and intelligence or consciousness. We also have to state that an atom is like a vibrometer that emits waves according to its own kind. Those waves are precisely what many...
22: Recurrence
Friends of mine, today’s lecture will address the law of recurrence. When the ego returns, when it reincorporates, everything occurs again as it has before, plus the good and bad consequences. So, indubitably, various forms of the great law of recurrence exist. Thus, in this lecture we intend to study the varied forms of recurrence. Diverse scenes of our previous lives are repeated, at times in more elevated spirals and at other times in lower spirals. The spiral is the curve of life and it is always symbolized by the snail-shell. We are wicked snail-shells within the bosom of the Father. Obviously, we move about, evolve, and devolve on the spiral line of existence. Another form of recurrence can be evidenced in
3: The Metallic Planets of Alchemy
This is a transcription of the audio lecture 3: The Metallic Planets of Alchemy, which you can download for free. This lecture follows the previous two which we gave; this is related with physiology or the way in which the energies relate with our physical body, our mind, psyche and spirit. Now, we are going to enter directly or to repeat something a little bit more in detail about the metals. Remember that we said that the metals of the earth, the metallic veins of the earth, its metallic kingdom, are like the nervous system of the planet earth. In the Hebrew Bible, in the book of Genesis, we read a sentence that states...
A Talk on the Mysteries of Life and Death
We will begin our lecture, and I hope everybody will pay the maximum of attention. Tonight, I am going to speak about the mysteries of life and death. That is the clear intention of this lecture. We will make a clear differentiation between the Law of the Eternal Return of everything, the Law of Transmigration of Souls, and the Law of Reincarnation. The time has come to analyze all of this, in order for Gnostic students to be well informed. It is obvious that the first thing that we need to know in life is, what is the reason of our existence? Why we do exist? What for? Obviously, if we want to know something about our destiny and about life itself, it is indispensable to know what we are. This is urgent and undeferable. The Physical and Vital Bodies The physical body by itself is not all there is to us. A body is made up of organs, and each organ is made up of cells; each cell is composed of molecules, and each molecule of atoms. If we divide any a...
Alcyone and Negative Emotions
Since the year 1962, the 4th of February, between two and three in the afternoon, the Age of Aquarius or the Age of the Water Carrier began. There occurred an event that you might have recorded within your memories. I am referring to a congress of worlds or planets, which was gathered precisely under the constellation of Aquarius. Truly, this was a heavenly traffic jam. This was an encounter of worlds. There were two eclipses: one of the Sun, and the other of the Moon. Many years before, we addressed such a cosmic event, and even gave the hour in which it would occur. We judiciously asserted that such a cosmic event was going to take place on the 4th of February, 1962, between two and three in the afternoon (this is a concrete fact that actually occurred). For twenty years we repeated the same facts. So, when the event finally came to pass, when this cosmic phenomena occurred, none of the sisters or brothers of the International Gnostic Movement found this to be something new....
Evolution and Devolution, the Laws of the Arcanum 10
From the strictly academic point of view, the word “evolution” means development, construction, progression, improvement, advance, edification, dignification, etc. Taking a clear, orthodox and purely grammatical approach, the term “devolution” means inverse progression, retrogression, destruction, degeneration, decadence, etc. Obviously, it is urgent that we emphasize the transcendental idea that the Law of Antitheses coexists with any crude natural process. This concept of content is absolutely, unimpeachable, unassailable and irrefutable. Specific examples include day and night, light and darkness, construction and destruction, increase and decrease, birth and death, etc... The exclusion of any of these two aforementioned laws, evolution and devolution, would give rise to a static, quiescent, radical paralysis of natural mechanisms. To deny then any of these two ordinances in fact represents a fall into barbarism... There is evolution in the plant which...
Initiatic Preparation - 5
Initiatic preparation is very rigorous. Our disciples must live alert and vigilant like a watchman in the time of war. Cleanse your minds; do not allow yourself to be deceived by the wicked. Know, brothers, that modern intellectualism is of the wicked. Scientism of these times: “Even the wicked, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders...” airplanes, atomic bombs, false marvels in physiology, biology, medicine, chemistry, etc., all these miracles of science are false. Do not believe in those false miracles of the wicked. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (the day of the advent of Jesus Christ) shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition (this perverse humanity); Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. - (2...
Intelligence
In the Gnostic tradition, we rely on the study of the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge in order to understand the laws that govern nature and that govern our psyche. In order to comprehend the nature of these two trees, or the function that they represent, it is necessary to first understand what is intelligence. Intelligence is a unique characteristic, a unique functionalism, which, unfortunately, in these times, has been sadly misunderstood and confused. The clue to understand the nature of intelligence is displayed in the Tree of Life (Kabbalah). The Tree of Life is a map or a symbol that consists of ten spheres. The top three spheres form a triangle, which represents the force that is called the Logos. Logos means “Word.” The third sphere of the Logos is called Binah, which, in Hebrew, means...
Man and the Universe That Surrounds Him
Brothers and sisters, we are all here together tonight. Let’s start our lecture. I hope you will be fully attentive. The time has come to study in depth all that is related to man and the universe that surrounds us. It is first of all essential to understand the processes of life and death thoroughly. There are, for sure, in the human being, superlative and extraordinary faculties of cognition which are latent but which could help us to study man and the universe in depth. The internal worlds within each of us are surely what matters. Thoughts and feelings (emotions, desires, aspirations) are invisible. Nobody can see them. All those values make up our inner life. Each man has his own inner life. Each man has his own inner worlds. If a man doesn’t know his own inner world, his intimate life, he will know even less the inner worlds and the intimate life of our planet. And if he doesn’t know the intimate life of our planet, he will not be able to know the inner life of our...
Nature's Warnings
Editor's Note: It is startling to read chapters such as the following one, written by Samael Aun Weor in 1967. The timeliness and urgency of the message is one hundred percent applicable to the events unfolding in these moments upon this besieged planet. Truly, it is of the utmost importance that each one of us become conscious of the precarious situation humanity now faces. It is up to each one of us to do what we can - now, from moment to moment - to change the course we are rapidly and blindly pursuing. In these moments of global crisis, scientists have discovered with astonishment that the magnetic pole of the compass does not coincide with the physical north pole of the earth. One thing is the...
Parallel Universes
There is a bold hypothesis that suggests the existence of a phantom universe similar to our own: “Only a very weak interaction between these two universes exists, therefore we do not see this other world that is mixed with our own.” Revolutionary, scientific Gnosticism goes much further into this question, emphatically affirming the harmonious coexistence of an infinitude of parallel universes. The radical exclusion of this transcendental, scientific concept would leave a considerable number of unclassified events without a logical explanation, such as mysterious disappearances, etc. On the perfumed and delectable shores of a river, that joyfully and happily sings while gliding within the profound jungles of a tropical region of South America, a group of innocent children watched in horror as their own beloved mother disappeared. She floated in the air for a few moments, then apparently submerged herself into another dimension. “On a summer day of 1809, Benjamin Bathur...
Sexual Energy
The sexual cycle is governed by the planet Uranus and lasts for eighty-four years. The north and south poles of Uranus take turns pointing towards the sun. These poles are the determining factors in the eighty-four year cycle of the human species. If the positive or masculine pole of Uranus points towards the sun, the masculine sexual impulse predominates on the earth; if the negative or feminine pole points towards the sun, then the feminine sexual impulse predominates. The masculine sex predominates for forty-two years; the feminine sex reigns supreme for forty-two years. The time of piracy, of Isabel, of masculine unfolding, of knightly adventures: these clearly represent the masculine sexual cycle. This year, 1965, in which women undress, predominate, order, and accuse, shows clearly the feminine sexual cycle. The mature man or woman lives in the opposite sexual atmosphere from that in which they were born, a situation which is totally stimulating. This explains why sexual...
The Human Machine
If we vividly imagine in a clear and precise manner the resplendent and elongated body of the solar system, we will see all of its beautiful coverings and intertwined threads that were formed by the marvelous traces of the planets. Then, from such a receptive state, the living image of the human organism (with its skeletal, lymphatic, arterial, nervous, etc., systems) will come into our minds. Without a doubt the constitution of the human organism is also constituted and reunited in a similar manner. In space, when looking upon the solar system of Ors from afar (which is the solar system in which we live, move, and have our existence) it looks like a human being who walks throughout the inalterable infinite. The microcosmic human being is, in his turn, a solar system in miniature, a marvelous machine with various distributed nets of energy that are in distinct degrees of tension. The structure of the human organism is constituted by seven or eight systems that are held t...
The Human Machine
If we open the eyes of our imagination and reflect upon the incredible sophistication of this human organism, and vividly imagine all of the intricate systems within it that are interrelated and interdependent, that constitute the organism we inhabit, we see a very complex, very beautiful machine that functions without our direct intervention or without our direct will. We see the marvelous processes of our digestion, of our circulatory system, of the endocrine system, and all the other processes that make possible this very moment that we are experiencing. The organism that we are all seated within is constantly active, with many processes and transformations - about which we remain unaware - but whose marvelous power is evident and undeniable. In some corners of our science and wisdom, we've heard it stated that the human...
The Seven Planets of Alchemy
Although it may appear to be incredible, it is true and factually certain that the science of Endocrinology is closely related to Sexual Alchemy. Endocrinology is bound to produce a true creative revolution. Scientists already know that the sexual glands are not sealed capsules. The sexual glands absorb and secrete hormones. The hormones of secretion are called “conserving,” because they perpetuate the species. The hormones of absorption are called “vitalizing,” because they vitalize the human organism. This process of hormonal absorption is transmutation; it is Alchemy: the transformation of one type of energy-matter into another type of energy-matter. Trans • mutation: the change of one element into...
