Genuine spiritual healers are rare. Likewise, the process for finding and vetting them is also arduous, uncertain, and time-consuming, usually without positive results given the prevalence of charlatans and “wolves in sheep's clothing” (Matthew 7:15) who are eager to provide their services for a good buck. This is why it is more practical and beneficial to become one's own healer, doctor, and master, since it is not only difficult to find uncorrupted traditions and practitioners with proven track records, but that real divine healers are not to be found primarily in the physical world, but in the internal worlds. Likewise, by awakening consciousness in the inner dimensions we inhabit during the normal hours of sleep, we also have more direct means of accessing and knowing the source of legitimate healing, which does not come at any price except a life of virtue and sacrifice for humanity. Discover and apply verifiable, reliable, and effective techniques from the Gnostic tradition of Samael Aun Weor to treat the spiritual causes of illness, thereby transforming oneself into a true Gnostic priest, magician, shaman, or healer.

Beethoven's only opera encodes tremendous metaphysical truths gleaned from his own inner spiritual development on the initiatic path. What is more remarkable is that he conveyed gnostic principles on the demiurge, archons, aeons, and redemption without physical access to classical gnostic texts. This is because as a master of meditation, he was privy to knowledge inaccessible to the mind, personality, or senses, and through his psychological work, was able to witness, live, and portray first hand the very root source of such knowledge informing the conception and documentation of the Gnostic Gospels and Nag Hammadi corpus. He composed Fidelio not only to musically uplift humanity's level of being, but also to teach the realities of divine law (karma), atonement, and the esoteric spiritual work for candidates of the mysteries. Such wisdom is elucidated by Samael Aun Weor's rich commentary on The Gnostic Bible: The Pistis Sophia Unveiled, which serves as the basis for future viewings of Beethoven's masterpiece. Discover the deep insights of this truly gnostic opera, and how a prophet of music demonstrated true love for divinity and the overpowering realities of Pistis Sophia's salvation (the penitent soul who longs for and aspires to the light).

Some psychologists symbolize the consciousness as a knife very capable of separating us from that which is fastened to us, extracting our strength. These psychologists believe that the only way to escape the power of this or that “I” is to observe it more clearly, each time with the objective of comprehending it so as to become cognizant of it. These people think that in this way, separation of ourselves from this or that “I” will eventually occur, although it may be just by the width of a knife’s edge. In this manner, they say, the “I” separated by the consciousness resembles a cut plant. Becoming conscious of any “I,” according to them, means separating it from our psyche and condemning it to death. Without question, although apparently very convincing, such an idea fails in practice. An “I” which has been cut off from our personality by the knife of consciousness, thrown out of the house like the black sheep of the family, continues in the psychological space. Transformed into a demon of temptation, it insists on returning home. It does not submit so easily. In no way does it wish to eat the bitter bread of exile. It looks for an opportunity, and when we let down our guard for a minute it accommodates itself anew within our psyche. Gravest of all, is that within an exiled “I,” there is always a certain percentage of Essence, consciousness, imprisoned. All those psychologists who think this way have never been successful in dissolving any of their “I’s”; they have actually failed. No matter how hard one tries to evade the question of the Kundalini, it remains a very serious problem. In fact, the “ungrateful child” never progresses in the esoteric work on himself. Obviously, an “ungrateful child” is anyone who scorns Isis, our own particular, individual, Divine Cosmic Mother. Isis is one of the autonomous parts of our own Being, yet a derivative. The igneous serpent of our magical powers is Kundalini. Obviously, only Isis has the absolute power to disintegrate any “I,” this is irrefutable, indisputable and incontrovertible. Kundalini is a compound word: KUNDA reminds us of the abominable “Kundabuffer organ,” and LINI is an Atlantean term meaning termination. Kundalini means “the termination of the abominable Kundabuffer organ.” In this case, it is imperative not to confuse Kundalini with Kundabuffer. As we already stated in a previous chapter, the igneous serpent of our magical powers is found coiled up three and a half times inside of a certain magnetic center, located in the coccygeal bone at the base of the spinal column. When the serpent rises, it is Kundalini; when it descends, it is the abominable Kundabuffer organ. Through White Tantra the serpent ascends victoriously along the spinal canal awakening the powers of deification. Through Black Tantra the serpent hurtles downward from the coccyx toward the atomic infernos of the human being. This is how many are transformed into terribly perverse demons. Those who make the mistake of attributing all the sinister, negative characteristics of the descending serpent to the ascending serpent, definitely fail in the Work upon themselves. The evil consequences of the abominable Kundabuffer organ can only be annihilated with the Kundalini. It would not be an overstatement to say that such evil consequences are crystallized in the pluralized ego of revolutionary psychology. The hypnotic power of the descending serpent has submerged humanity in unconsciousness. By contrast, only the ascending serpent can awaken us. This truth is an axiom of Hermetic wisdom. Now we understand better the deep significance of the sacred word Kundalini. Conscious will is always represented as a sacred woman, Mary, Isis, who crushes the head of the descending serpent. Frankly speaking, in plain language, the dual flow of light, the living and astral fire of the Earth has been represented in ancient mysteries as a serpent with a bull, billy goat, or dog’s head. It is the double serpent of the Caduceus of Mercury and the tempting serpent of Eden. But it is also, without the slightest doubt, the bronze serpent of Moses entwined in the “Tau,” that is to say, the “generating lingam.” This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is Moses-serpent.jpg It is the male goat of the Sabbath and the Baphomet of Gnostic Templars, the Hyle of universal Gnosticism, the double tail of the serpent that forms the feet of the solar cockerel of Abraxas. The “black lingam” inserted in the metallic “yoni,” (symbols of the God Shiva, of Hindustani divinity) is the secret key to awaken and develop the ascendant serpent or Kundalini. This is under the lifelong condition of never spilling the “vessel of Hermes Trismegistus,” the thrice great God, Ibis of Thoth. We have spoken between the lines for those who know how to understand. Whosoever has understanding let them understand, for herein lies wisdom. Black Tantra practitioners are different. They awaken and develop the abominable Kundabuffer organ, serpent of temptation from Eden, when they commit the unforgivable crime of spilling the sacred wine during their rites.

"For every step that we take in the development of our occult powers, we must take a thousand steps on the path of sanctity." —Samael Aun Weor, The Major Mysteries While New Age doctrines fixate upon awakening psychic powers, what many so-called "spiritual" advocates fail to recognize is the greater need for moral character. The acquisition of mystical abilities is not commensurate with virtue, but subordinate to it, for power without responsibility produces demons: beings who have the capacity for deeply impacting the world, but in seriously detrimental ways. See how to safely and responsibly cultivate internal powers for the furtherance of real ethics and the complete development of a true human being.

The Kundalini We have arrived at a very thorny point, I want to refer to this question of the Kundalini, the igneous serpent of our magical powers, mentioned in so many texts of oriental wisdom. Undoubtedly, the Kundalini has a lot of documentation and is something worth investigating. In the texts of Mediaeval Alchemy, the Kundalini is the astral sign of the sacred sperm, STELLA MARIS, the VIRGIN OF THE SEA, who wisely guides the laborers of the Great Work. Among the Aztecs she is TONANTZIN, among the Greeks the CASTE DIANA, and in Egypt she is ISIS, the DIVINE MOTHER of whom no mortal has lifted the veil. There is not any doubt whatsoever that Esoteric Christianism never stopped adoring the Divine Mother Kundalini; obviously she is MARAH or better said RAM-IO, MARIA or MARY. What orthodox religions did not specify, at least as far as the exoteric or public circle is concerned, is the aspect of ISIS in her human individual form. Ostensibly, only in secret were the initiates taught that this Divine Mother exists individually within each human being. It is not superfluous to emphatically clarify that Mother-God, REA, CYBELES, ADONIA or whatever we wish to call her, is a variant of our own individual Being here and now. Specifying, we will say that each of us has his own particular, individual, Divine Mother. There are as many Mothers in heaven as creatures on earth. The Kundalini is the mysterious energy which makes the world exist, an aspect of BRAHMA. In its psychological aspect manifest in the occult anatomy of the human being, the KUNDALINI is coiled three and a half times within certain magnetic center located in the coccygeal bone. There rests numb as any other snake the Divine Princess. In the center of that Chakra or room, exists a female triangle or YONI where there is a male LINGAM established. The sublime serpent KUNDALINI coils around this atomic or magical LINGAM which represents BRAHMA’s sexual creating power. The igneous queen in its serpent form, wakes up with the secretum secretorum of certain alchemical craft which I have clearly taught in my work titled: The Mystery of Golden Blossoming. Unquestionably, when this divine force awakes, victorious it ascends through the spinal medullary canal to develop in ourselves the powers which deify. The sacred serpent, in its subliminal divine transcendental aspect, transcending the merely physiological, anatomical, in its ethnic state, is, as I have already said, our own Being though derived. It is not my purpose to teach in this treatise the technique for the awaking of the sacred serpent. I only want to put some emphasis on the harsh realism of the Ego and the inner urgency related to the dissolution of its diverse inhuman elements. The mind by itself cannot radically alter any psychological defect. The mind can mark in a name on any defect, move it from one level on to another one, hide it from the same mind or from other people, excuse it, etc., but never eliminate it. Comprehension is a fundamental part, but this is not all, it is necessary to eliminate. A defect which has been observed must be analyzed and wholly comprehended, before proceeding to its elimination. We need a power superior to the mind, a power capable of atomically disintegrating any defect-“I” which we have previously discovered and profoundly judged. Fortunately, such power is deeply underlying beyond the body, affections and the mind, although it has its concrete exponents in the bone of the coccygeal center, as we have already explained in previous paragraphs of this chapter. After having wholly comprehended any defect-“I”, we must submerge ourselves in profound meditation, begging, praying, asking our own individual particular Divine Mother to disintegrate the previously comprehended defect-“I”. This is the precise technique required for the elimination of the undesirable elements which we carry within. The Divine Mother Kundalini has power to reduce to ashes any subjective, inhuman psychic aggregate. Without this didactic, without this procedure, every effort for the dissolution of the Ego is fruitless, useless, and absurd. Samael Aun Weor

Being and knowing must be balanced to establish a blaze of comprehension within our psyche. When knowing is greater than being, it causes all kinds of intellectual confusion. If being is greater than knowing, it can produce cases as serious as that of a stupid saint. In everyday life, it is advisable to observe oneself with the purpose of self-discovery. It is precisely everyday life, the psychological gymnasium, through which we can discover our defects. In a state of alert perception, watchful attention, we can directly verify that the hidden defects flare-up spontaneously. Clearly, we must work on the discovered defect consciously with the purpose of separating it from our psyche. Above all, we must not identify with any I-defect if we really want to eliminate it. Imagine that we are standing on a board and we wish to raise it to a position of it leaning against a wall. It would be impossible to do so if we were still standing on it. Obviously, we must begin by separating the board from ourselves, removing ourselves from it and then lifting the board with our hands to a reclining position against the wall. Similarly, we must not identify with any psychic aggregate if we truly wish to separate it from our psyche. When one identifies with this or that I, one really strengthens, rather than disintegrates it. Let us suppose that some lustful self took possession of any stereotypical image in the intellectual center to project lascivious and sexually morbid scenes on the screen of the mind. Unquestionably, identifying with the passionate picture greatly strengthens that lustful ego. If, however, instead of identifying with such an entity, we separate it from our psyche, considering it as an intrusive demon, then obviously creative comprehension will have emerged within us. Subsequently, we could have the luxury of analytically judging the aggregate in question with the purpose of becoming fully conscious of it. The seriousness of the problem lies precisely with people’s identification, and this is most regrettable. If people were familiar with the Doctrine of the Many Selves, if they actually understood that not even their own lives belong to them, they would not make the mistake of identification. Scenes of anger, pictures of jealousy, etc., in everyday life, are useful when we find ourselves in constant psychological self-observation. Thus, we prove that neither our thoughts, nor our desires, nor our actions belong to us. Unquestionably, multiple I’s intervene like bearers of an ill omen, putting thoughts in our minds, emotions in our hearts and actions of all kinds in our motor center. It is deplorable that we are not masters of ourselves and that various psychological entities make of us whatever they will. Unfortunately, we do not even remotely suspect what is happening to us and we act like simple puppets, controlled by invisible strings. Worst of all, instead of fighting for independence from all these secret tyrants, we make the mistake of fortifying them, and this occurs when we become identified. Any street scene, any family drama, any silly quarrel between spouses is undoubtedly due to this or that I, and is something of which we must always be aware. Everyday life is the psychological mirror in which we can see ourselves just as we are. First, we must understand the need to see ourselves and the need to change radically. Only in this way will we want to really observe ourselves. Whosoever is content with the state in which he lives, the foolish one, the dawdler, the negligent one, will never feel the desire to see himself; he will love himself too much to ever be willing to review his conduct and way of being. We will say clearly that in some comedies, dramas and tragedies of everyday life various “I’s” take part. These “I’s” must be understood. What comes into play in any scene of passionate jealousy are the egos of lust, anger, pride, jealousy, etc. We must later analytically judge each one separately to fully understand them with the clear purpose of their total disintegration. Comprehension is very elastic, which is why it is necessary to delve deeper each time. What we understand in one way today we will better understand tomorrow. Considering things from this angle, we can verify for ourselves how useful the diverse circumstances of life are when indeed we use them as a mirror for self-discovery. We would never in any way attempt to say that the dramas, comedies and tragedies of everyday life are always splendid and perfect. Such a statement would be ludicrous. Nonetheless, however absurd the different situations of existence may appear, they are marvelous as a psychological gymnasium. The work relating to the dissolution of the diverse elements that form the me, myself, is terribly difficult. Within the cadences of verse, misdeeds are also hidden. In the delightful perfume of the temples, transgressions lurk. At times, crime becomes so sophisticated that people confuse it with sanctity, and so cruel that it eventually seems like sweetness. Crime clothes itself in the judge’s robe, the Master’s tunic, the beggar’s rags, the businessman’s suit, and even in the habit of the Christ. Comprehension is fundamental, but that is not all in the work of dissolving the psychic aggregates, as we shall see in the next chapter. It is urgent, unavoidable and non-excludable that we make ourselves conscious of each ego, to separate each one from our psyche. But this is not all, something else is missing. For this we must see Chapter 16. Samael Aun Weor

"Wherever there is life, there is consciousness. Consciousness is as inherent to life as humidity is to water." —Samael Aun Weor, Sexology https://glorian.org/connect/blog/what-is-consciousness

The controversial Gospel of Judas is a powerful scripture depicting the relationship between betrayal and transcendence. While religious groups intensely, fearfully, and dogmatically contest its authenticity, this scripture is clarified through a comparative study of Samael Aun Weor's writings. Just as an actor plays a part in a film and should not be condemned for it, likewise the Apostle Judas should not be denigrated for the role he played in a necessary cosmic drama led by Jesus, the Master Aberamentho. By understanding who Judas is in us, we can better understand the ways we betray our own selves while striving for divine reality.

"Our Gnostic Church is the Transcended Church. This church is found in the Superior Worlds. We also have many temples in the physical world. In addition, we have opened thousands of Gnostic Lumisials where holy rituals are celebrated and the secret doctrine of the Beloved Savior of the world is studied. We must not forget that our Gnostic Movement has both a school and a religion. It has already been decisively confirmed that Jesus the Christ was Gnostic. The Savior of the World was an active member of the cast of Essenes, mystics who never cut their hair or their beards. The Gnostic Church is the authentic primeval Christian Church whose first Pope was the Gnostic initiate called Peter." ―​Samael Aun Weor, The Perfect Matrimony The purpose, principles, practices, and prerequisites for membership in the Gnostic Church.

This question of the me, myself, of what I am, of that which thinks, feels, and acts, is something that we must explore within ourselves in order for us to gain profound knowledge. Everywhere there are lovely theories which attract and fascinate us. However, they are of no use at all if we do not know ourselves. It is fascinating to study astronomy or to amuse ourselves somewhat reading serious works. Nevertheless, it is ironic to become erudite and not know anything about the me, myself, about the “I,” about the human personality we possess. Everyone is very free to think whatever they want and the subjective reason of the “intellectual animal” mistakenly called man is enough for everything, it can just as easily turn a flea into a horse as it can turn a horse into a flea; There are many intellectuals who live playing with rationalism. And what after all? To be scholarly does not mean to be wise. Learned ignoramuses are as abundant as weeds. Not only do they not know, but they are not even aware they do not know. Learned ignoramuses are those know-it-alls who believe they know everything and who indeed do not even know themselves. We could theorize splendidly on the psychological I, but that is not exactly what interests us in this chapter. We need to know ourselves directly as we are, without involving a depressing process of “options.” This would in no way be possible unless we were to observe ourselves in action from instant to instant, from moment to moment. This is not a matter of seeing ourselves through theories or by simple intellectual speculation. We are interested in seeing ourselves directly as we are; this is the only way we will be able to gain true knowledge of ourselves. Although it might seem incredible, we are mistaken with regard to ourselves. Many things we believe we have, we do not have, and many things that we do not believe we have, we do. We have formed false concepts about ourselves, and we must, therefore, do an inventory to find out what we have too much of and what we lack. We assume that we have such and such qualities, which indeed we do not, and we are surely ignorant of many virtues that we do possess. We are asleep, unconscious, and that is very serious. Unfortunately, we think the best of ourselves and never even suspect that we are asleep. The Holy Scriptures insist on the need to awaken, but do not explain the system to achieve this awakening. Worst of all, there are many who have read the Holy Scriptures and still do not understand that they are asleep. Everyone believes that they know themselves and do not have even the faintest idea that there exists a Doctrine of the Many. Indeed, each person’s psychological “I” is multiple; it always consists of many. By this we mean that we have many selves and not just one, as is always assumed by learned ignoramuses. To deny the Doctrine of the Many is to make fools of ourselves. In fact, it is the height of absurdity to ignore the intimate contradictions which each of us possess. “I am going to read a newspaper,” says the “I” of intellect. “To heck with reading,” exclaims the “I” of movement, “I prefer to ride my bicycle.” “Forget it,” shouts a third ego in disagreement, “I’d rather eat, I’m hungry.” If we could see ourselves in a full-length mirror, just as we are, we would discover for ourselves directly the Doctrine of the Many. The human personality is only a marionette controlled by invisible strings. The ego which swears eternal love for Gnosis is later replaced by another which has nothing to do with the pledge; then the individual leaves. The “I” which swears eternal love for one woman is later replaced by another one which has nothing to do with that oath. Then the person falls in love with another woman, and like a house of cards it all collapses. The “intellectual animal” mistakenly called human being is like a house filled with many people. There is no order or agreement among the multiple I’s; they all quarrel with each other and fight for supremacy. When one of them gains control of the capital centers of the organic machine, it feels unique, a master. Nevertheless, in the end it is overthrown. Considering the matter from this point of view, we come to the logical conclusion that the “intellectual mammal” does not have a true sense of moral responsibility. Undoubtedly, whatever the machine says or does at a given time depends exclusively on the type of ego in control at that moment. It is said that Jesus of Nazareth drove out seven demons, seven egos, from the body of Mary Magdalene, living personifications of the seven capital sins. Obviously, each of these seven demons is the head of a legion. Therefore, we can establish as a natural consequence that the intimate Christ was able to expel thousands of egos from the body of Mary Magdalene. Reflecting upon all this we can clearly infer that the only worthwhile part of us is the Essence which, tragically, is trapped within these multiple I’s of the revolutionary psychology. Unfortunately, the Essence is always limited in its processes by virtue of its own imprisonment. Without question the Essence—or consciousness, which is the same thing—sleeps deeply. Samael Aun Weor

"Perfect mental equilibrium is of vital importance for those who want spiritual progress. Almost all the aspirants of esotericism easily lose their mental equilibrium and usually fall into the most absurd things. Whosoever yearns for direct knowledge must ensure that their minds are in perfect equilibrium... Mental disequilibrium is avoided by balancing the three brains." —Samael Aun Weor https://glorian.org/connect/blog/three-brains-and-five-centers

The sparkling intellectualism as manifest functionalism of the psychological I, undoubtedly is THE ANTICHRIST. Those who suppose that the Antichrist is a strange personage born somewhere on the Earth or coming from this or that country are certainly completely mistaken. We have emphatically stated that the Antichrist is definitely not a particular person, but all people. Obviously, the Antichrist itself exists deep within each person and expresses itself in many ways. Intellect which is placed in the service of the Spirit is useful; intellect which is divorced from the Spirit becomes useless. Villains arise from intellectualism without spirituality: a vivid manifestation of the Antichrist. Obviously, the villain, in and for itself, is the Antichrist. Unfortunately, the world today with all its tragedies and miseries is governed by the Antichrist. The state of chaos in which modern humanity finds itself is undoubtedly due to the Antichrist. The iniquitous one, of which Paul of Tarsus spoke in his Epistles, is certainly the harsh reality of our times. The iniquitous one is already here. It manifests itself everywhere; it certainly has the gift of ubiquity. It argues in cafes, negotiates at the United Nations, sits comfortably in Geneva, conducts experiments in laboratories, invents atomic bombs, remote-controlled missiles, asphyxiating gases, bacteriological bombs, etc., etc., etc. The Antichrist, fascinated by its own intellectualism, which is absolutely exclusive to know-it-alls, believes that it knows all of the phenomena of Nature. The Antichrist, believing itself to be omniscient, is trapped in the decay of its own theories. It directly rejects anything resembling God, or that which is worshipped. The self-sufficiency, pride and arrogance of the Antichrist are unbearable. The Antichrist mortally hates the Christian virtues of faith, patience and humility. Everyone bows before the Antichrist. Obviously, it has invented ultrasonic aircraft, wonderful ships, splendid cars, amazing medicines, etc. Under such conditions, who can doubt the Antichrist? In this day and age, anyone who dares to speak against all the miracles and wonders of the Son of Perdition condemns himself to everyone’s ridicule, sarcasm and irony; he condemns himself to be classified as stupid and ignorant. It is hard to make serious and studious people understand the former statements. They in and on themselves react and offer resistance. Clearly, the intellectual animal mistakenly called human being is a robot, programmed at kindergarten, primary and secondary school, college and the university, etc. No one can deny that a programmed robot functions according to its programming. In no way could it function if the program were removed. The Antichrist has produced the program with which the humanoid robots of these decadent times are programmed. Making these clarifications, emphasizing what I am saying, is frightfully difficult, as this is not in the program. No humanoid robot could admit things that are not in the program. This issue is so serious, and the mental entanglements are so tremendous, that in no way would any humanoid robot even remotely suspect that the program is of no use, since it has been arranged according to the program, and to doubt it would seem a heresy, something incongruous and absurd. For a robot to doubt its own program is absurd, an absolute impossibility, because its very existence depends upon that program. Unfortunately, things are not as humanoid robots think they are. There is another science, another wisdom, which they find unacceptable. The humanoid robot reacts, and rightly so, as it is not programmed to deal with another science or another culture, or anything else that differs from its well-known program. The Antichrist has prepared the programs of the humanoid robot and the robot humbly prostrates itself before its master. How could a robot possibly doubt the wisdom of its master? A child is born innocent and pure. The Essence expressing itself through each child is exceedingly precious. Without a doubt, Nature deposits in the brain of newborns all the wild, natural, sylvan, cosmic and spontaneous information indispensable for the capture or comprehension of truths. These are contained in any natural phenomena perceivable by the senses. This means that a new born baby can discover by itself the reality of each natural phenomenon. Regrettably, the Antichrist’s program interferes with it, and the marvelous qualities placed by Nature in the brains of the newborns are soon destroyed. The Antichrist prohibits different ways of thinking; all babies that are born must be programmed by order of the Antichrist. There is no doubt that the Antichrist mortally hates that precious sense of the Being known as the ‘faculty of instinctive perception of cosmic truths.’ Pure science, different from the decaying university theories which exist here, there and everywhere, is something inadmissible for the Antichrist’s robots. Many wars, famines and diseases have been propagated by the Antichrist throughout the world, and no doubt they will continue to be propagated before the arrival of the final catastrophe. Unfortunately, the hour of the great apostasy has arrived (that time announced by all the prophets), and no human being will dare to rise up against the Antichrist. Samael Aun Weor

Logical didactic is conditioned and qualified also by the prepositions “on” and “about” which never take us to the direct experience of the real. The phenomena of nature are very far from being like scientists see them. Certainly, as soon as any phenomenon is discovered, it is immediately qualified or labelled with this or that difficult term of scientific jargon. Obviously, all those extremely difficult terms of modern scientifism, serve only as a patch to cover ignorance. Natural phenomena are in no way like scientifists see them. Life with all its processes and phenomena, develops from moment to moment, from instant to instant, and the scientifistic mind in fact kills it by stopping it in order to analyze it. Any manner is the same as reality. Any inference extracted from any natural phenomenon, is in no manner equal to the concrete reality of that phenomenon; regrettably, the scientist’s mind deluded by its own theories, firmly believes in the reality of its inferences. Not only does the hallucinated intellect only see in phenomena the reflection of its own concepts, but worse than that, it dictatorially wants to make the phenomena be exactly and absolutely equal to all those concepts carried in the intellect. The phenomenon of intellectual hallucination is fascinating. None of those stupid, ultramodern scientists would admit the reality of their own hallucination. Certainly, in no way would the know-alls of our time admit being qualified as hallucinated. The power of self-suggestion has made them believe in the reality of all those concepts of the scientifistic jargon. Obviously, the hallucinated mind boasts of being conscious and dictatorially wants all natural processes to march in step with pedantries. As soon as a new phenomenon appears, it is classified, labelled and put in this or that place, as though it had really been understood. Thousands of terms have been invented to label phenomena, but the pseudosapients know nothing about the reality of phenomena. As a vivid example of all what we are stating in this chapter, we refer to the human body. In the name of truth we can affirm emphatically that the physical body is absolutely unknown to modern scientists. Such an affirmation could appear very insolent to the pontiffs of modern scientifism; without doubt we will deserve excommunication by them. Nevertheless, we have very sound grounds to make such a tremendous affirmation. Unfortunately, hallucinated minds are so convinced of their pseudo-sapience that not even remotely could they accept the harsh reality of their ignorance. If we told the hierarchs of modern scientifism that Count Cagliostro, a very interesting personage of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries is still alive in the very 20th century, if we told them that the distinguished Paracelsus, the renowned doctor of the Middle Ages does still exist, you can be sure that the hierarchs of present scientifism would laugh at us and never accept our affirmations. However, it is so. The genuine mutants, immortal men whose bodies date from thousands and millions of years ago, live on the face of the Earth at present. The author of this book knows the mutants. Nevertheless, he does not ignore modern skepticism, the hallucination of scientifists and the state of ignorance of the know-alls. For all this, in no way would we be under the illusion of believing that the fanatics of scientifistic jargon would accept the reality of our unusual statements. The body of any mutant is an open challenge to the scientific jargon of these times. The body of any mutant can change its shape and then return to its normal state, without receiving any harm. The body of any mutant can instantly penetrate into the fourth vertical and even adopt any vegetal or animal form, and afterwards return to its normal state receiving no damage at all. The body of any mutant violently challenges the old texts of official Anatomy. Regrettably, none of these declarations could convince those who are hallucinated by scientifistic jargon. Those gentlemen seated upon their pontifical thrones, unquestionably will regard us with disdain, perhaps with anger, and possibly even with some pity. However, the truth is what it is and the reality of mutants is an open challenge to any ultramodern theory. The author of this book knows the mutants but expects no-one’s belief. Every organ in the human body is controlled by laws and forces, which are not even remotely known of by those hallucinated with scientifistic jargon. Nature’s elements in themselves are unknown to official science. The best chemical formulae are incomplete: H2O, two atoms of Hydrogen to one of Oxygen to make water, is something empirical. If we attempt to join in a laboratory an atom of Oxygen with two of Hydrogen, it does not result in water or anything, because the formula is incomplete. The fire element is missing. Only with this cited element would it be possible to create water. Intellection, however brilliant it might seem, can never lead us to the experience of the real. The classification of substances and the difficult terms with which we label them, only serve as a cover for ignorance. The intellect believing this or that substance to have a specific name and characteristics, is absurd and unbearable. Why does the intellect boast of being omniscient? Why does it delude itself believing that substances and phenomena are just the way it believes them to be? Why does intellection want nature to be a perfect replica of all its theories, concepts, opinions, dogmas, preconceptions, prejudices? In reality, natural phenomena are not as they are believed to be, and in no way are natural substances and forces as the intellect thinks they are. The awake consciousness is not the mind, neither is it memory nor anything similar. Only the liberated consciousness is capable of directly experiencing for itself the reality of life free in its motion. We must emphatically affirm however, that as long as any subjective element exists within us, consciousness will remain bottled among such element and hence will be unable to enjoy continuous and perfect enlightenment. Samael Aun Weor

A continuation on our practical series of runic yoga, an ancient mystical practice encoded within the Nordic language (Futhark ᚠᚢᚦᚨᚱᚲ). The Rune Ur (ᚢ) is the second letter of this sacred alphabet. From the solar, projective forces of the Rune Fah (ᚠ, the Divine Father) emanates the lunar, receptive powers of divine femininity, Ur (ᚢ, the Divine Mother). Ur or the Hebrew אור Aur is the light of spiritual consciousness, born in us through this profound exercise. Discover how to connect with the eternal feminine through this rune, so as to empower your heart and ability to positively impact your community.

This lecture builds on Kabbalah: The Yoga of the West, outlining the cultural, psychological, and spiritual contexts of Jewish mystical traditions. Kabbalah possesses a rich corpus embodying multiple levels of meaning and practice, codified within introductory, intermediate, and advanced knowledge. Discover these three tiers of instruction through the writings of Gershom Scholem, Manly P. Hall, Dion Fortune, Samael Aun Weor, and the Zohar.

In the esoteric work related to the elimination of the undesirable elements which we carry within, annoyance, tiredness and boredom emerge sometimes. Without question, we need to always return to the original starting point and re-evaluate the basis of the psychological work, if we truly yearn for a radical change. To love the esoteric work is indispensable when a complete inner transformation is really wanted. As long as we do not love the psychological work which leads to change, the reevaluation of principles is absolutely impossible. It would be absurd to suppose that we could be interested in the work if in fact we have not come to love it. This means that love is unpostponable when we are trying once and again to re-evaluate the foundations of the psychological work. Above all it is urgent to know what is that which is called consciousness, for there are many people who have never been interested in knowing anything about it. Any ordinary person would never ignore that a boxer loses consciousness when he is knocked out in the ring. It is quite clear that when the unfortunate boxer comes round, he regains consciousness. Consequently, anyone can understand that a clear difference exists between personality and consciousness. When we come into this world we all have in the existence a three per cent of consciousness and a ninety-seven per cent which can be distributed among subconsciousness, infraconsciousness and unconsciousness. The three per cent of awake consciousness can be increased as we work upon ourselves. It is not possible to increase consciousness by exclusively physical or mechanical procedures. Undoubtedly, the consciousness can only awake through conscious work and voluntary suffering. Various types of energy exist within us, we must understand: First. – Mechanical energy. Second. – Vital energy. Third. – Psychic energy. Fourth. – Mental energy. Fifth. – Energy of the will. Sixth. – Energy of the consciousness. Seventh. – Energy of pure spirit. No matter how much we multiplied the strictly mechanical energy, we would never awake consciousness. No matter how much we increased the vital forces within our own organism, we would never come to awake consciousness. Many psychological processes take place within ourselves without the consciousness taking part at all. However great the disciplines of the mind may be, mental energy can never achieve the awaking of the diverse functionalisms of the consciousness. The strength of will, even if multiplied infinitely, can never achieve the awaking of consciousness. All these types of energy are graded into different levels and dimensions which have nothing to do with consciousness. The consciousness can only be awoken by conscious work and upright efforts. The small percentage of consciousness which humanity possesses, instead of being increased is usually futilely wasted in life. It is obvious that by identifying with all the events of our existence, we uselessly waste the energy of the consciousness. We should see life as a film, without ever identifying with any comedy, drama or tragedy, thus we would save conscious energy. Consciousness in itself is a type of energy with a very high frequency of vibration. We should not confuse consciousness with memory, since they are as different from each other as the light of the car’s head lamps in relation to the road upon which we drive. Many acts take place within ourselves with no participation whatsoever of that which is called consciousness. Many adjustments and readjustments take place within our organism, without the consciousness taking part in them. The motor center of our body can drive a car or direct the fingers which play the piano keys, without even the most insignificant participation of the consciousness. Consciousness is the light which the unconscious does not perceive. A blind person cannot perceive physical solar light either, however, it does exist in itself. We need to open ourselves for the light of the consciousness to penetrate the terrible darkness of the myself, of the oneself. Now we will understand better the meaning of John’s words, when he said in the Gospel: “The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness does not understand”. It would be impossible however, for the light of consciousness to penetrate within the darkness of the self, should we not previously use the marvelous sense of psychological auto-observation. We need to make way for light to illuminate the tenebrous depths of the “I” of psychology. We would never auto-observe ourselves if we did not have an interest in changing, and such interest is possible only when we truly love the esoteric teachings. Our readers will understand now the reason why we advise to re-evaluate, time and time again, the instructions concerning the work on oneself. Awake consciousness allows us to experience reality directly. Unfortunately, the intellectual animal mistakenly called man, fascinated by the formulative power of dialectical logic, has forgotten about the dialectic of consciousness. Unquestionably, the power to formulate logical concepts is basically terribly poor. From thesis we can pass onto antithesis and through discussion reach synthesis, but the latter remains in itself an intellectual concept which in no way can coincide with reality. The Dialectic of Consciousness is more direct, permitting us to experience the reality of any phenomenon in itself and by itself. Natural phenomena in no way coincide exactly with the concepts formulated by the mind. Life develops from instant to instant and when we capture it to analyze it, we cause its death. When, observing this or that natural phenomenon, we try to infer concepts, in fact we stop perceiving the reality of the phenomenon and we only see in it the reflection of theories and stale concepts which have nothing to do at all with the observed fact. Intellectual hallucination is fascinating and we forcibly want all natural phenomena to coincide with our dialectical logic. The dialectic of consciousness is based on lived experiences and not on mere subjective rationalism. All of nature’s laws exist within ourselves and if we do not discover them in our interior, we will never discover them outside of ourselves. Man is contained in the Universe and the Universe is contained in man. Real is what we experience within ourselves, only the consciousness can experience reality. The language of the consciousness is symbolic, intimate, and profoundly significant and only those who are awake can understand it. Whoever may want to awake consciousness, must eliminate from within all the undesirable elements which constitute the Ego, the “I”, the myself, within which the essence is bottled. Samael Aun Weor

“The pupil must regain the child-state he has lost ere the first sound can fall upon his ear. The light from the ONE Master, the one unfading golden light of Spirit, shoots its effulgent beams on the disciple from the very first. It's rays thread through the thick dark clouds of matter. Now here, now there, these rays illumine it, like sun-sparks light the earth through the thick foliage of the jungle growth. But, O Disciple, unless the flesh is passive, head cool, the soul as firm and pure as flaming diamond, the radiance will not reach the chamber, its sunlight will not warm the heart, nor will the mystic sounds of the Akasic heights reach the ear, however eager, at the initial stage.” —The Voice of the Silence This sacred scripture provides a didactic teaching on the essence of spiritual practice: dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation), and samadhi (comprehension, ecstasy), which was practiced within the most ancient schools of mysteries and presently within gnostic institutions founded by Samael Aun Weor. Learn how to initiate, sustain, and perfect the stages of meditation, so as to experience the highest reality and end the psychological causes of suffering.

All living beings from the inferior kingdoms have an elemental soul, including plants. Elementals of the plant kingdom are innocent, chaste, and powerful, since they have not left their paradisiacal state and retain their ability to consciously influence nature. The elemental of the aloe is exceptional for spiritual healing, protection, past life recall, and meditation. By learning to ethically command the elemental of the aloe, the initiate receives divine aid, the empowerment of a superior level of being, and the moral edification of others.

It is interesting to have in the house a clock with a pendulum, not only for checking the time but also for reflecting a little. Without its pendulum, this type of clock does not function; the movement of the pendulum is profoundly significant. In ancient times the dogma of evolution did not exist. In those days the sages understood that historical processes always take place according to the Law of the Pendulum. Everything has its ebb and flow, its rise and fall, increase and decrease, moves to and from in accordance with this marvellous Law. It is not strange at all that everything oscillates, that everything is subject to the swaying of time, and that everything evolutes (evolves) and involutes. Joy lies at one extreme of the pendulum, sorrow lies at the other one. All our emotions, thoughts, longings and desires swing in accordance with the Law of the Pendulum. Hope and desperation, pessimism and optimism, passion and suffering, triumph and failure, profit and loss, assuredly correspond to the two extremes of pendular movement. Egypt rose, with all its power and majesty, on the banks of the sacred river, but when the pendulum went to the other side, when it rose by the opposite end, the country of the pharaohs fell and Jerusalem rose, the city beloved by Prophets. Israel fell when the pendulum changed position and the Roman Empire rose at the other extreme end. The pendular movement raises Empires and makes them fall, it causes the ascent of powerful civilizations and afterwards brings about their destruction, etc. At the right side of the pendulum can be placed the various religions, sects, pseudoesoteric and pseudo-occultist schools. At the left side of the pendulum’s movement can be placed all the schools of materialist type, Marxist, Atheist, Scepticist, etc. Which are the antithesis of pendular movement, changeable, subject to incessant permutation. The religious fanatic, due to any unusual event or disappointment, can move to the other extreme of the pendulum, becoming an atheist, a materialist, a sceptic. Due to any unusual incident, perhaps a metaphysical or transcendental event or a moment of indescribable terror, a materialistic and atheistic fanatic can shift to the opposite extreme of the pendulum’s motions and become an unbearably religious reactionary. Example: a priest defeated by the polemics of an esotericist, in desperation became incredulous and materialistic. We knew the case of a sceptical, atheistic woman who, because of a conclusive and definite metaphysical event, became a magnificent exponent of practical esotericism. In the name of truth we must declare that the true and absolute materialistic atheist is a sham, is nonexistent. Faced with the proximity of inevitable death; faced with an instant of indescribable terror, the enemies of the eternal, the incredulous ones and the materialists, instantaneously pass to the other extreme of the pendulum and end up praying, weeping and crying out with infinite faith and enormous devotion. Karl Marx himself, author of the Dialectical Materialism, was a fanatically religious jew who, after his death, was accorded the tributes of a chief Rabbi. Karl Marx prepared his Materialistic Dialectics with a sole purpose: “TO CREATE A WEAPON TO DESTROY THROUGH SCEPTICISM ALL THE RELIGIONS OF THE WORLD” This is a typical case of religious jealousy taken to the extreme, in no way could Marx accept the existence of other religions and preferred to destroy them with his Dialectics. Karl Marx complied with one of the protocols of Zion, which states literally: “It does not matter if we fill the world with materialism and repugnant Atheism. The day when we triumph we will disseminate the religion of Moses properly codified in a dialectical form and will not permit any other religion in the world” It is very interesting to note that in the Soviet Union, religions are persecuted and that the Soviet people are taught the materialistic dialectics whilst within the synagogues the Talmud, the Bible and the religion are studied and they work freely without any problem. The lords of the Soviet government are religious fanatics of the law of Moses, yet they poison the people with the farce of Dialectical Materialism. We would never pass judgement against the people of Israel, we are only making a declaration against certain elite double-dealers who pursue undisclosed ambitions. Whilst poisoning the people with Materialistic Dialectics, they secretly practice Moses’ religion. Materialism and Spiritualism with all their resulting theories, prejudices and preconceptions are processed in the mind, in accordance with the Law of the Pendulum and are fashionable according to custom and time. Spirit and matter are highly debatable, thorny concepts which no one understands. The mind knows nothing about spirit, it knows nothing about matter. A concept is nothing other than just that: a concept. Reality is not a concept, although many ideas can be conceived about reality. The spirit is the spirit (the Being) and can only be known to itself. It is written: THE BEING IS THE BEING AND THE REASON FOR THE BEING TO BE IS THE SAME BEING”. The fanatics of matter-God, the scientists of Dialectical Materialism are a hundred per cent absurd and empiristic. They talk about matter with dazzling and stupid selfsufficiency when in fact they know nothing at all about it. What is matter? Which of those dumb scientists know? The so much hackneyed matter, also is a very prickly and highly disputable concept. What is matter? Is it cotton? Iron? Flesh? Starch? Stone? Copper? A cloud or what? Saying that all is matter would be as empirical and absurd as asserting that the whole human organism is a liver or a heart, or a kidney. Obviously, one thing is one thing and another thing is another thing, each organ is different and each substance is distinct. Then, which of all these substances can be the matter they so much talk about? Many people play with the pendulum’s concepts. However, concepts are not in fact reality. The mind knows only illusory forms of nature, but it knows nothing of the truth contained within such forms. Theories go out of fashion with time and the passing of years and we find that what we learned at school is useful for nothing afterwards; in conclusion: nobody knows anything. Concepts of the extreme right or the extreme left of the pendulum go out of date like women’s fashion. All those concepts are processes of the mind, things that take place on the surface of the understanding, nonsense, vanities of the intellect. To any psychological discipline, another discipline is opposed, any logically structured psychological process is opposed by another one similiar to it and, at the end of the day, what? The real, the truth, is what interests us, but this is not a question of the pendulum, it cannot be found amongst the swings of theories and beliefs. Truth is the unknown from instant to instant, from moment to moment. Truth is found at the centre of the pendulum, not at the extreme right and not at the extreme left either. When Jesus was asked: “What is the truth?”, he kept a profound silence. And when the Buddha was asked the same question he turned his back and left. The truth is not a question of opinions, neither of theories, nor of prejudices of the extreme right or the extreme left. The concept which the mind may build up about the truth, is never the truth. The idea that the understanding may have about the truth, is never the truth. The opinion we may hold regarding the truth, however respectable it be, is in no way the truth. Neither spiritual tendencies nor their materialist opponents can ever lead us to the truth. Truth is something that must be directly experienced, just as when we stick a finger into fire and it burns, or when we take in water and choke. The centre of the pendulum is within ourselves, and it is there where we must directly discover and experience the real, the truth. We need to directly auto-explore ourselves in order to auto-discover and profoundly know ourselves. The experience of the truth only comes when we have eliminated the undesirable elements which as a whole constitute the myself. Truth comes only by eliminating error. Only by disintegrating the Self, my mistakes, my prejudices and fears, my passions and desires, beliefs and fornications, all types of intellectual obstinacy and of self-sufficiency, does the experience of the real come to us. The truth has nothing to do with what has or has not been said, nor with what has or has not been written. It only comes to us when the myself has died. The mind cannot seek the truth because it does not know it. The mind cannot recognise the truth because it has never known it. The truth comes spontaneously to us when we have eliminated all those undesirable elements which constitute the myself, the self. As long as the consciousness remains bottled in the self, it will be unable to experience that which is real, that which lies beyond the body, affections and the mind, that which is the truth. When the myself is reduced to cosmic dust, the consciousness is liberated, it finally wakes up and directly experiences the truth. The Great Kabir Jesus rightly said: “KNOW THE TRUTH AND IT WILL MAKE YOU FREE”. John 8:31 What use is there for us in knowing fifty thousand theories if we have never experienced the Truth? Anyone’s intellectual system is very respectable, but any system has its opponent and neither one nor the other are the truth. It is better to auto-explore ourselves in order to auto-know ourselves and, one day get to directly experience the real, the TRUTH. Samael Aun Weor

Otherwise, how will you have the necessary awareness required to pay attention to the challenges in your life? How will you be self-aware enough to notice when you are being fanatical? How will you be aware of your own ill-intent towards others (black magic)? How will you notice when there is ego surfacing amidst relationships? How will you meditate deep within yourself if you cannot even pay regular attention to the surface of your daily life?

Kabbalah, the esoteric or mystical dimension of Jewish thought, embodies universal principles reflected within the heart of all great religions, particularly Judaism and Christianity. While expressed through Hebrew scripture, narrative, folklore, law, and prayer, Kabbalah conveys spiritual truths applicable to all of humanity, simultaneously elucidating conventional Jewish traditions and the path of personal, divine experience. Many Westerners lack a fundamental understanding of their social, religious, and philosophical roots. Likewise, many Jews and Christians have distanced themselves from the mystical origins of their traditions. This is why Kabbalah is sometimes referenced as the Yoga of the West, for it offers a form of practical spirituality best suited for our modern dispensation. Discover how through the writings of Dion Fortune and Samael Aun Weor.

Freedom The meaning of freedom is something that has not yet been understood by humanity. Always presented more or less erroneously, very serious mistakes have been made about the concept of freedom. Certainly, we struggle for a word. We come to absurd conclusions; we commit all types of atrocities and shed blood on the battlefields. The word freedom is fascinating, the whole world relishes it. Nevertheless, we have not grasped a real understanding of the term, and there is confusion regarding this word. It is impossible to find a dozen people for whom the word freedom means the same thing, in the same way. The term freedom will never be understandable by subjective rationalism. Everyone has different ideas about this term; people’s subjective opinions are totally devoid of objective reality. When the question of freedom is propounded, in each mind there is incoherence, vagueness, and incongruity. I am sure that even Immanuel Kant, author of Critique of Pure Reason and Critique of Practical Reason, never analyzed this word to find its exact meaning. Freedom, a lovely word, a beautiful term: so many crimes have been committed in its name! During the French Revolution at least one million people were murdered. Unquestionably, the term freedom has hypnotized the masses. The mountains and valleys, the rivers and seas have been tainted with the blood conjured up by this magical word. How many flags, how much blood, and how many heroes have come to pass in the course of history whenever the question of freedom has been posed in life’s scenario? Genocide in America The United States, founded to acheive freedom from the British, was built upon genocide of the Native American nations (image at left) and enslavement of Africans (image at right). Unfortunately, after achieving independence at such a high price, enslavement continues to exist within each of us. Who is free? How many have attained this famous freedom? How many have been emancipated? Alas, alas, alas! Adolescents long for freedom. It seems incredible that while having food, clothing, and shelter they should want to flee their homes in the pursuit of freedom. It is incongruous that a teenage boy who has everything he needs at home is willing to run away, to escape from his abode, fascinated with the term freedom. Strangely, despite enjoying all the comforts of a happy home, he is ready to risk everything he has to travel the world and even come to grief. It is right that the pariahs in life, the outcasts of society, the poor should be eager to quit the slums and hovels in order to seek a change for the better. Yet, the spoiled child, the mama’s boy, in search of a way out, is paradoxical and even an absurdity. However, this is how it is. The word freedom fascinates and enchants, although no one is able to define it precisely. It is logical that a young girl wants freedom, longs to move away from home, to marry in order to escape from under the parental roof and lead a better life. This is in part due to her right to be a mother. Nevertheless, once married, she finds she is not free, and with resignation she must bear the shackles of slavery. A worker, tired of so many regulations, wants to be free. Even if he achieves independence, he soon encounters the problem of continuing to be a slave to his own interests and concerns. Certainly, each time that we fight for freedom we are disappointed, despite victory. So much blood is shed pointlessly in the name of freedom while we continue to be slaves of ourselves and of others. People fight for words they will never understand, although dictionaries give them the grammatical explanations. Freedom is something that can only be achieved within ourselves. No one can achieve it outside of themselves. “Riding through the air,” is a very Eastern phrase which allegorizes the sense of genuine freedom. No one can really experience freedom while their consciousness remains bottled up inside of the me, myself, the “I.” Understanding the myself, “my persona, what I am,” is imperative if we sincerely wish to attain freedom. There is no way we can destroy the fetters of our enslavement without previously and totally comprehending this question of “mine” and all that concerns the me, myself, the “I.” What constitutes slavery? What is it that keeps us enslaved? What are the obstacles? We must discover all of this. Rich and poor, believers and nonbelievers, all are actually prisoners, although they consider themselves to be free. We will remain imprisoned, as long as the consciousness, the Essence, the most dignified and decent part within us, remains bottled up inside of the me, myself, the “I”—in our cravings and fears, in our desires and passions, our preoccupations and our violence, and in our psychological defects. The sense of freedom can only be fully understood when we have annihilated the shackles of our very own psychological incarceration. While the “I” exists, the consciousness remains imprisoned. Escaping from that prison is only possible through Buddhist Annihilation: dissolving the self, reducing it to ashes, to cosmic dust. The liberated consciousness, devoid of the “I,” absolutely absent of ego, without desires, without passions, without cravings and fears, directly experiences true freedom. Any idea we might have about freedom is not freedom. Those opinions that we hold about freedom are far from reality. The ideas that we form on the subject of freedom have nothing to do with genuine freedom. Freedom is something that has to be experienced directly, and that is only possible by dying psychologically, dissolving the “I,” ending the me, myself forever. It would do no good to continue dreaming about freedom if we continue being slaves. It would be better to take a look at ourselves as we really are, carefully observing the fetters of slavery that keep us imprisoned. Knowing ourselves, seeing what we are inside, we shall discover the door to authentic freedom. Samael Aun Weor

Today in our Listeners' Stories installment, Lynn Short joins her partner Justin to discuss how they met, grew up in, and grew out of a branch of “Gnosis,” a theosophical cult founded in the 1950s by Samael Aun Weor in Columbia. Weor was a classic old-school spiritual pervert, with 60-plus (likely ghostwritten) books to his name, and a passion for meddling in his followers' sex lives. Lynn and Justin describe what it was like to wake up to each other again—and to normal lives—after 17 years of practicing non-orgasmic sex and missionary work. A unique and hopeful look into a relationship that survived coercive influence—a bond that didn't become a trauma bond. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

"The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness (בַּמִּדְבָּר be'midbar), Prepare ye the way of יְהֹוָה (Iod-Chavah, Jehovah), make straight in the desert a highway for our God (אֱלֹהִים Elohim). Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: And the glory of יְהֹוָה shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of יְהֹוָה hath spoken it."  ―Isaiah 40:3-5 What is the Voice of the Silence according to the kabbalistic teachings? It is the Christ, Logos, or Word (דָבָר dabar), our profound, innermost divinity who can be accessed through the path of meditation and initiation. Learn how to experience the Word (דָבָר dabar) through traversing the wilderness (בַּמִּדְבָּר be'midbar) of life. By transforming our daily sufferings through the path of initiation, we can in turn enter into the development and experience of the truth within our consciousness, becoming true, enlightened human beings endowed with cognizance, insight, and divine love. This lecture explains the kabbalistic, alchemical, and psychological contexts for interpreting The Voice of the Silence, especially through the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche and Samael Aun Weor.

This lecture was given during a gnostic meditation retreat from the tradition of Samael Aun Weor. By uniting serenity and insight within various spiritual exercises, meditators directly perceive their own true nature. Such a process is beautifully encoded within the first and most recited surah of the Qur'an (Al-Fatihah: The Opening), which synthesizes the entire Tree of Life. By meditating on this map in relation to these famous verses, initiates can access divine reality within themselves, here and now.

People work daily; they struggle to survive. Somehow they want to exist. However, they are not happy. The word happiness is like ‘Greek’ to people, as we say around here. However, worst of all is that they know this. But amid so much bitterness, it seems they do not lose the hope of achieving happiness one day without knowing how or in what way. Wretched people! They suffer so much! However, they want to live and are afraid of dying… If people understood something about revolutionary psychology, possibly they would even think differently; but the fact is that they do not know anything. What they want is to survive in the midst of their misfortune, and that is all. There are pleasant and enjoyable moments, but this not happiness. People confuse pleasure with happiness. Parties, bar hopping, drinking sprees and orgies are brutish pleasures, but they are not happiness… There are, however, wholesome get-togethers without over-indulgence, vulgar behavior and the abuse of alcohol. But that is not happiness either. Are you a kind person? How do you feel when you dance? Are you in love? Is it true love? What do you feel when you dance with the one you love? Allow me to be a little bit cruel for a moment by saying that this is not happiness either. If you are an older person, if you are not attracted to these pleasures, if they leave a bad taste in your mouth, forgive me if I tell you that it would be different if you were young and full of illusions. At any rate, whatever you might say, parties or no parties, love or no love, whether you have that which is called money or not, you are not happy, although you might think the opposite. People spend a lifetime looking for happiness everywhere and die without ever having found it. In America and everywhere there are many who hope to win the lottery some day; they think that this way they will find happiness. Some in fact do win. However, this does not bring them the happiness for which they yearn so much. When one is a young man, one dreams of the perfect woman, a princess from One Thousand and One Arabian Nights, someone extraordinary. Then the harsh reality of life hits: a wife and small children to support, difficult financial problems, etc. There is no doubt that as the children grow so do the problems, and they might even become impossible to cope with… Naturally, as children get bigger they need bigger shoes, which are more expensive. This is obvious. Naturally, as the children grow, their clothing is ever more costly. If you have money it is no problem; but if not, then it is a serious matter and there is a great deal of suffering. Everything would be more or less bearable with a good wife, but if a man is betrayed, that is, if his wife cheats on him, then what is the use of him struggling to earn money for the household? There are unfortunately extraordinary examples of wonderful women, true companions through both fortune and misfortune. However, to make matters worse, their husbands take them for granted, and worse still, abandon them for other women who will embitter their lives. There are many young girls who dream of their prince. Unfortunately, the harsh reality is in fact different, and they end up marrying tyrants. The greatest dream for a woman is to have a lovely home and be a mother, a blessed predestination. However, even if she marries a good man, who may be unlikely, all things come to pass in the end. Sons and daughters get married and leave home or they are ungrateful to their parents. Ultimately, family life ends. All in all, in this cruel world in which we live there are no happy people… All the unfortunate human beings are unhappy. In life we have met many individuals who are loaded with money and full of problems: they are involved in lawsuits, overtaxed, etc. They are not happy. What is the use of being rich if one does not have good health? Wretched rich people! Sometimes they are more unfortunate than any beggar. Everything passes in this life: things, people, ideas, etc. Those who have money and those who have none also pass away. Nobody experiences genuine happiness! Many people want to escape from themselves through drugs or alcohol. In truth, they not only fail to escape, but worse, they get trapped in an inferno of vice. Friends in alcohol, marijuana or L.S.D. disappear as if by magic when an addict resolves to change his life. Happiness is not achieved by running away from the Me, Myself, the Ego. Instead it would be interesting to grab the bull by the horns, to observe the ‘I’, to study the ‘I’ in order to discover the causes of suffering. When one discovers the real cause of so much misery and bitterness, it becomes obvious that something can be done… If we manage to eliminate our Me, Myself, our ‘I’ of drinking sprees, our ‘I’ of vices and our ‘I’ of attachments that cause so much heartfelt sorrow in us; if we manage to eliminate those worries that torment our minds and make us ill etc., etc., then clearly what arrives is that which is timeless, that which is beyond the body, that which is beyond attachments and beyond the mind, that which is truly beyond our comprehension and is called happiness! Unquestionably, while our consciousness remains trapped within the Ego, the Me, Myself, the ‘I’ , in no way will it be able to know genuine happiness. Happiness has a quality that neither the Me, Myself, the ‘I’ , or the Ego has ever known. Samael Aun Weor

Soon, millions of people living in Africa, Asia and South America, can die from starvation. Gases released from sprays can radically put an end to the Ozone Layer of the Earth’s atmosphere. Some experts forecast that by the year Two Thousand the subsoil of our Earth’s globe will be exhausted. It has already been proved that marine species are dying due to contamination of the sea. Unquestionably, at this rate, by the end of this century all the inhabitants of big cities will have to wear oxygen masks to protect themselves from pollution. If contamination goes on at this alarming pace, very soon it will be impossible to eat fish. Because of living in totally infected waters, it will be a serious danger to health. Before the year Two Thousand it will be almost impossible to find a beach where one can swim in pure water. Due to excessive consumption and exploitation of the topsoil and the subsoil, soon the land will not be able to harvest the amount necessary to feed the world. The “Intellectual Animal”, mistakenly called man, by contaminating the oceans with so much waste, poisoning the air with fumes from cars and factories, destroying the Earth with underground atomic explosions and abusing of elements harmful to the Earth’s crust, has clearly subjected the planet Earth to a long, appalling agony which will undoubtedly have to end with a Great Catastrophe. It will be difficult for the world to survive past the year Two Thousand, as the “Intellectual Animal” is destroying the natural environment so rapidly. The “Rational Mammal” mistakenly called man is intent on destroying the Earth, making it uninhabitable. Obviously he is succeeding. As far as the seas are concerned, it is obvious that all nations have turned them into some kind of Grand Waste Dump. Seventy per cent of the world’s waste is going into the seas. Enormous quantities of oil, all kinds of insecticides, masses of chemical substances, poisonous gases, neuro-toxic gases, detergents, etc, are annihilating all the species living in the oceans. Sea birds and plankton which is so essential for life, are being destroyed. Without a doubt, the annihilation of marine plankton is of incalculable seriousness, for it is this micro-organism which produces seventy per cent of the Earth’s oxygen. It has been possible to verify through scientific research that certain parts of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are contaminated with radioactive residues, produced by atomic explosions. In different large main cities of the world and especially in Europe, tap water is drank, is eliminated, is purified and then drank again. In large “Super-civilized” cities, drinking water goes through the human organism many times. In the city of Cucuta, Colombia, near the Venezuelan border, in South America, the inhabitants have to drink the black dirty waters from the river which carries all the filth coming from Pamplona. I am referring emphatically to the Pamplonita river which has been such a blight upon the “Pearl of the North” (Cucuta city). Fortunately, there is another water supply for the city now, but the Pamplonita river’s sewage is still being drunk. Huge filters, gigantic machines, and chemical substances are being used to try to purify the sewage of Europe’s big cities. However, epidemics continue to break out because of that filthy water which has gone through human organisms so many times. Bacteriologists, so popular now, have found all types of viruses, collibacilluses, pathogens, tuberculosis bacteria, typhus and small pox bacteria, larvae, etc, in the drinking water of large capital cities. Although it may seem incredible, in the very same water-purifying factories, in European countries, viruses of the vaccine for poliomyelitis have been found. Besides, the wastage of water is appalling: some modern scientists assert that by the year 1990 the rational humanoid will die of thirst. The worst of all this, is that the underground fresh water reserves are in danger due to the abuses of the Intellectual Animal. The merciless exploitation of oil wells continues to be fatal. Oil extracted from the Earth’s interior goes through the underground waters and contaminates them. As a consequence, oil has made the Earth’s subterranean water supply not drinkable for more than a century. Obviously, as a result of all this, vegetation and even a multitude of people die. Now, let us talk a little about the air which is so indispensable for the life of all creatures… Our lungs take in half a litre of air with every breath, that is, about twelve cubic metres per day. Multiply this quantity by four thousand five hundred million people living on the Earth, and we have the exact amount of oxygen consumed by humanity daily. This does not take into account the consumption of oxygen by all the other animal creatures living on the Earth. The total amount of oxygen we inhale is found in the atmosphere and it is due to the plankton we are now destroying with pollution, and also to the photosynthetic activity of plants. Unfortunately, the reserves of oxygen are already becoming exhaust. The Rational Mammal mistakenly called man, through his innumerable industries is constantly diminishing the solar radiation essential for photosynthesis. For this reason, the quantity of oxygen produced by plants at present, is significantly less than in the last century. The worst in all this world tragedy is that the “Intellectual Animal” continues contaminating the sea, destroying plankton and getting rid of the vegetation. The “Rational Animal” proceeds destroying deplorably his sources of oxygen. The smog which the “Rational Humanoid” is constantly discharging into the air, is lethal and also it is endangering the life of our planet. Not only is smog exhausting the oxygen resources, but it is also killing people. Smog gives rise to strange incurable illnesses. This has already been proved. The Poles have already begun to thaw out and a new Great Flood is coming, preceded by fire. Smog impedes the entrance of sunlight and ultra-violet light, thus causing serious disorders in the atmosphere. An era of climatic changes is approaching, glaciations, advance of polar ice towards the equator, terrifying cyclones, earthquakes, etc. By the year Two Thousand some regions of the planet Earth will be hotter, not because of the use of electric energy but because of its overuse. This will contribute to the process of Revolution of the Earth’s Axes. Soon the Poles will become the Earth’s equator and the equator will become the poles. The Poles have already begun to thaw out and a new Great Flood is coming, preceded by fire. Forthcoming decades will see an increase in “Carbon Dioxide” which will form a thick layer around the Earth’s atmosphere. Regrettably, such a filter or layer, will absorb thermal radiation and will act as a fatal greenhouse. The Earth’s climate will become hotter in many places and the heat will make the ice in the Poles melt, thus causing a shocking rise in the level of the oceans. The situation is extremely serious; fertile soil is disappearing and two hundred thousand people who need food are born every day. The world-wide famine to come, will certainly be terrifying; this is already at our doorstep. Nowadays, forty million people are dying from starvation yearly, because of lack of food… The criminal industrialisation of the forests and the merciless exploitation of mines and oil wells, are turning the Earth into a desert. It is certainly known that nuclear energy is fatal for humanity and it is no less certain that at present there are “Death Rays”, “Microbial Bombs”, and many other terribly destructive, malignant elements invented by scientists. Unquestionably, attainig nuclear energy requires vast amounts of heat, which are difficult to control and may cause a disaster at any time. To obtain nuclear energy, enormous quantities of radioactive minerals are required of which only thirty per cent is used. This is rapidly exhausting the world’s subsoil. The atomic waste which is left in the ground is posing a horrific danger. There is no safe place for atomic waste. Should gas ever leak from one of those atomic dumps, however minute the amount, thousands of people would die. Contamination of food and water brings about genetic mutations and human monsters: creatures who are born deformed and monstrous. Before the year 1999 there will be a serious nuclear accident which will cause real terror. Certainly humanity does not know how to live. It has degenerated frightfully and, frankly, it has precipitated itself into the abyss. What is most serious in this question, is that the factors of such desolation, starvation, wars, destruction of the planet in which we live, etc, exist within ourselves. We carry them within, in our own psyche. Samael Aun Weor

As incredible as it may sound, it is certainly true that this so-called modern civilization is frightfully ugly. It does not even fulfill the transcendental characteristics of aesthetics and is devoid of inner beauty. We greatly boast of those conventional, horrifying structures that resemble mouse holes. The world has become terribly monotonous; everywhere there exist unchanging streets and appalling housing. All this has become tiresome throughout the world, in the north, the south, the east and the west. The same uniformity exists everywhere, horribly nauseating and sterile. “Modernization,” exclaim the multitudes. We resemble vain peacocks with our fine clothes and shiny shoes while here, there and everywhere are unhappy, undernourished, and wretched millions. Simplicity and natural beauty, spontaneous and genuine with no need for vain accessories and cosmetics, has disappeared in the female sex. Nowadays we are modern; such is life. People have grown dreadfully cruel. There is a chill on kindness. Nobody has compassion for anyone anymore. The display windows of luxury stores glisten with extravagant merchandise, which the less fortunate definitely cannot afford. In our society those who are outcast can only gaze upon silks and jewels, costly bottles of perfume and umbrellas for downpours. They can look but they cannot touch, a torment similar to that of Tantalus. The modern human being has become grossly rude. The perfume of friendship and the fragrance of sincerity have, for the most part, disappeared. The teeming masses complain of being overtaxed; everyone has problems; someone owes us or we owe them; we are sued and have nothing with which to pay; worries ravage our brains; nobody lives in peace.… Bureaucrats sustain themselves psychologically upon their smugly curved paunches and fat cigars, while cunningly playing political mind games with absolutely no concern for people’s suffering. Nowadays, no one is happy, least of all those of the middle class who find themselves with their backs to the wall facing the sword. Rich and poor, believers and nonbelievers, merchants and beggars, shoemakers and tinsmiths only live because they must. They drown their torments with wine and even become drug addicts to escape themselves. People have become malicious, suspicious, distrustful, astute and perverse; no one believes in anyone anymore. Every day they invent new conditions, certificates, all kinds of restrictions, documents, credentials, etc., none of which serves a real purpose anymore. The astute mock all this nonsense: they do not pay; they evade the law even though they risk being hauled off to jail. No job provides happiness. The sense of true love has been lost, and people are married today, divorced tomorrow. Lamentably, family unity has been lost. There is no longer an innate sense of modesty. Lesbianism and homosexuality have become as common as drinking a glass of water. The purpose of this book is certainly to find out more about all this, to try to understand the causes of such moral breakdown, to investigate, to seek. I am speaking in an everyday, practical language in hopes of finding out what is hidden behind this horrible masquerade of existence. I am thinking aloud, and let the swindlers of the intellect say whatever they please. Theories have already become humdrum. They are even sold and resold in the marketplace… then what? Theories serve only to worry us and embitter our lives. Goethe rightly said: “Every theory is grey and only the tree of the golden fruits of life is green.” The wretched people are already weary of many theories. Nowadays they talk a great deal about being practical. We need to be practical and really come to know the causes of our sufferings. Samael Aun Weor

Observation, judgement, and execution are the three basic factors of dissolution. First: one observes oneself. Second: judgement is passed. Third: execution takes place. In war, spies are first observed; secondly, they are judged; thirdly, they are shot. Self-discovery and self-revelation exist in our inter-relationships. Therefore, whosoever renounces living together with his fellowmen also renounces self-discovery. Any incident in life, regardless of how insignificant it may seem, undoubtedly has as its cause an intimate actor within us, a psychic aggregate, an “I.” Self-discovery is possible when we are in a state of alert perception, alert novelty. Any “I” discovered flagrantly must be carefully observed in our mind, heart, and sexual center. Any “I” of lust could manifest itself in the heart as love and in the mind as an ideal. Yet, as we pay attention to the sexual center, we may feel a certain morbid, unmistakable excitement. The judgment of any “I” must be definitive. We need to sit it down on the bench of the accused and judge it mercilessly. Evasion, justification, and consideration must be elimin-ated if in reality we want to be conscious of the “I” that we struggle to extirpate from our psyche. Execution is different. It would not be possible to execute any “I” without previously observing it and judging it. Prayer in the psychological work is fundamental for the dissolution of the “I.” We need a power superior to the mind if indeed we want to disintegrate this or that “I.” The mind by itself can never disintegrate any “I”; this is indisputable and irrefutable. To pray is to talk with God. We must appeal to God the Mother in the depths of our heart if we truly want to disintegrate “I’s.” The one who does not love his or her Mother, the ungrateful child, will fail in the work upon himself. Each one of us has his or her particular, individual Divine Mother. She, in Herself, is a part of our own Being, but a derivative part. All ancient civilizations adored “God the Mother” within the most profound part of our Being. The feminine principle of the Eternal One is Isis, Mary, Tonantzin, Cybele, Rhea, Adonia, Insoberta, etc. If in our merely physical aspect we have a father and a mother, likewise within the deepest part of our Being we also have our Father who is in secret, as well as our Divine Mother Kundalini. There are as many Fathers in Heaven as there are humans on Earth. God the Mother within our own intimacy is the feminine aspect of our Father who dwells in secret. He and She are certainly the two superior parts of our inner Being. Undoubtedly, He and She are our very true Being beyond the “I” of psychology. He unfolds into Her. He commands, directs, instructs. She eliminates the undesirable elements which we carry in our interior with the condition that we continuously work on ourselves. Thus, when we have died radically, when all the undesirable elements have been eliminated, after many conscious labors and voluntary sufferings, then we shall fuse and integrate ourselves with our “Father-Mother.” Then, we shall be terribly divine Gods, beyond good and evil. Any of those “I’s” that have been previously observed and judged can be reduced to cosmic dust by means of the fiery powers of our own individual, particular Divine Mother. A specific formula in order to pray to our Inner Divine Mother is not necessary. We must be very natural and simple when we address Her. The child who addresses his/her mother never has a special formula. The child utters what comes from his/her heart and that is all. No “I” is instantaneously dissolved. Our Divine Mother must work and even suffer very much before achieving the annihilation of any “I.” Make yourselves introversive, direct your prayer within, seeking within your interior your Divine Lady. Thus, with sincere supplications, you shall be able to talk to Her. Beg her to disintegrate the “I” that you have previously observed and judged. As the sense of Self-observation develops, it shall permit you to verify the progressive advancement of your work. Comprehension and discernment are fundamental. Nonetheless, something more is necessary if indeed what we want is to disintegrate the “myself.” The mind can give onto itself the luxury of labeling any defect, passing it from one department to the other, exhibiting it, hiding it, etc. However, the mind can never fundamentally alter the defect. A special power superior to the mind is necessary, a fiery power that is capable of reducing any defect to ashes. Stella Maris, our Divine Mother, has that power. She is able to pulverize any psychological defect. Our Divine Mother lives in our intimacy, beyond the body, affections and the mind. She is, by Herself, an igneous power superior to the mind. Our own particular, individual Cosmic Mother possesses wisdom, love, and power. Absolute perfection exists within Her. Good intentions and their constant repetition lead nowhere. These are good for nothing. It serves no purpose to repeat, “I will not be lustful,” because within the very depth of our psyche, the “I’s” of lasciviousness will continue to exist anyway. It is useless to repeat daily, “I will not have anger,” because within our psychological depths the “I’s” of anger will continue to exist. It would be useless to repeat daily, “I will no longer be covetous,” because within the different depths of our psyche, the “I’s” of covetousness shall continue to exist. It would be useless to separate ourselves from the world and lock ourselves up in a convent or live in a cavern, because the “I’s” within us will continue to exist. Some hermits who isolated themselves within caves, based on rigorous disciplines, attained the ecstasy of the saints and were taken up to heaven. There they saw and heard things that are not easily comprehended by human beings. Nevertheless, their “I’s” continued to exist within their interior. Unquestionably, the Essence, through rigorous discipline, can escape from within the “I”; thus, it enjoys ecstasy. However, after such bliss, the Essence returns into the interior of the “myself.” Those who have become accustomed to ecstasy without having dissolved the ego believe that they have already reached liberation. They fool themselves by believing themselves to be Masters. They even enter into the submerged devolution. Nonetheless, we are not pronouncing ourselves against mystical ecstasy, against the ecstasy and happiness of the Soul while in the absence of the ego. We only want to place emphasis on the necessity of dissolving “I’s” in order to achieve the final liberation. The Essence of any disciplined hermit, accustomed to escaping from within the “I,” repeats such a feat after the death of his physical body. Then, his Essence enjoys the ecstasy for some time. Yet, after such time, his Essence returns as the Genie of Aladdin’s lamp, back into the interior of the lamp, the ego, the myself. Thereupon, he has no other choice but to return into a new physical body with the purpose of repeating his life on the stage of existence. Many mystics who lived and died in the caverns of the Himalayas in central Asia reincarnated again and are now vulgar, common and current people in this world, in spite of the fact that their followers still adore and venerate them. Therefore, any attempt at liberation, no matter how great it might be, if it does not take into consideration the necessity of dissolving the ego, it is condemned to failure. Samael Aun Weor

It is urgent to study Gnosis and to utilize the practical ideas which we give in this book in order to work seriously on ourselves. Nonetheless, we cannot work on ourselves with the intention of dissolving this or that “I” without having previously observed it. The observation of oneself permits a ray of light to penetrate within our interior. Each “I” manifests itself one way through the head, another way through the heart, and in another way through the sexual center. We need to observe the “I” which we have captured at a given moment; it is urgent to see it in each of these three centers of our organism. If we are alert and vigilant, like a watchman in time of war, while relating with other people, we can then discover ourselves. Do you recall at what time your vanity was hurt by someone? Your pride? What was it that upset you the most during the day? Why did you have that vexation? What was its secret cause? Study this, observe your head, heart and sexual center... Practical life is a marvelous school. So, through interaction with others is how we can discover those “I’s” that we carry within our interior. Any annoyance, any incident can lead us through inner self-observation to the discovery of any “I,” whether it be of self-esteem, envy, jealousy, anger, covetousness, suspicion, calumny, lust, etc. We need to know ourselves before being capable of knowing others. It is urgent to learn to see others” point of view. If we place ourselves in the place of others, we discover that the psychological defects that we attribute to others exist in abundance within our interior. To love our neighbor is indispensable; however, in the esoteric work, if one does not firstly learn how to place his own self in the position of another person, such a one cannot love others. Cruelty will continue existing on the face of the Earth as long as we have not learned to put ourselves in the place of others. But, if one does not have the courage of seeing himself, then how can one put himself in the place of others? Why should we only see the bad side of people? The mechanical antipathy towards another person that we meet for the first time indicates that we do not know how to put ourselves in the place of our fellow men. This indicates that we do not love our fellow men, that we have our consciousness extremely asleep. Do we feel antipathy towards a certain person? Why? Perhaps he drinks? Let us observe him... Are we certain of our virtue? Are we certain of not carrying the “I” of drunkenness within our interior? When we see a drunkard doing all kinds of stupidities, it would be best if we said to ourselves: “This is me, what tomfoolery am I doing...?” Are you an honest and virtuous woman and because of that you do not like a certain woman? Do you feel antipathy towards her? Why? Do you feel sure of yourself? Do you believe that you do not have the “I” of lust within your interior? Do you think that this woman, discredited by her scandals and lasciviousness, is perverse? Are you sure that the lasciviousness and perversity that you see in that woman does not exist within your interior? It would be better to observe yourself intimately, and while in profound meditation you may occupy the place of that woman you despise. If, indeed, we yearn for a radical change, then it is urgent to value the Gnostic esoteric work. It is indispensable to comprehend and appreciate it. It is indispensable to know how to love our fellow men, to study Gnosis and to take these teachings to all people. Otherwise, we will fall into egotism. If one dedicates himself to the esoteric work on oneself, but does not give these teachings to others, his inner progress becomes then very difficult due to lack of love for our fellow men. “For whosoever gives to him shall be given, and the more he gives, the more he shall receive, but whosoever gives not, from him shall be taken away even what he has.” This is the Law. Samael Aun Weor

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/0sJQuNBEI-c This is a simple guide on how to meditate deeply and begin to experience "Reality" or "Truth" beyond the usual conditioned perceptions of ego. Through integrating the teachings in this video, one can begin to open up the inner senses to experiences of intuitive knowledge, self-understanding, clairvoyance, astral projection and more... but what's more crucial and profound is that these principles allow us to form a connection to our sacred Innermost Real Being, our Eternal Divinity, our Atman, our source of all spiritual power and consciousness. 0:00 - Stress & Struggle of the Spiritual Path 03:56 - Difference Between Intellect, Mind & the Being 13:31 - Rule 1 How to Become Aware of Emotions 16:35 - Rule 2 How to Understand Thoughts & Emotions 18:40 - Rule 3 How to Practice Deep Self-Observation 25:52 - Rule 4 How to Contemplate In Every Moment 28:25 - Rule 5 Maintaining a Receptive Mind 29:37 - Rule 6 How to Develop Continuity of Purpose 32:18 - Rule 7 Identifying Positive Group Energy 36:09 - Rule 8 Becoming Intensely Vigilant of the Mind 37:42 - Rule 9 How to Let Go of the Physical Senses 42:08 - Rule 10 Using Drowsiness to Astral Project 47:53 - Integrating These Principles In Awareness Resources:

Awakening in the Internal Worlds, otherwise known as lucid dreaming, astral projection, Astral travel, or out-of-body experiences, are perceptions of matter and energy that are beyond the reach of the physical senses. Anyone, anywhere, regardless of any distinctions or qualifications, may acquire their own personal knowledge of these living realities, if they are willing to make the effort. Quite simply, astral projection refers to how our Consciousness departs from the physical body. Everytime our physical body sleep, the Consciousness departs from it, and experiences what we call "dreams." This is a form of astral projection, but in most cases the Consciousness is asleep, unaware that it is away from the physical body. While dreaming, we generally do not realize it. And when we return to the body, the memory of the dream is generally lost, or if recalled, appears hazy and unreal. This is all due to the weak state of our Consciousness. It is possible to consciously project oneself out of the body. By means of constant training from moment to moment, the Consciousness can be strengthened to be be awake, aware, and sharp; thus, when it leaves the physical body, we remain aware of ourselves, and conscious of what transpires. From this state, one can investigate any phenomena in nature or oneself. Samuel Aun Weor is the secret writer behind the dayspring of youth who wrote as M in my episode on the secret of the atom. Weor dedicated the whole of his life to freely helping anyone and everyone find the path out of suffering. His mission was to show all of humanity the universal source of all spiritual traditions, which he did not only through his writings and lectures, but also through his actions. "There are authors who write marvels, but when one looks at them, one realizes that they have not lived what they have written; they did not experience it in themselves, and that is why they are mistaken. I understand that one must write what one has directly experienced by oneself. I have proceeded in this way on my part." - Samael Aun Weor, Tarot and Kabbalah (1978) "The mind must free itself from all kinds of “schools,” religions, sects, beliefs, etc. All those “cages” are obstacles which render the mind incapable of thinking freely. It is necessary for the mind to become free of the illusions of this world and become a fine and marvelous instrument of the Inner Being." - Samael Aun Weor I strongly suggest you obtain a copy of the book for the correct mantras used in this episode, you can find it here: https://www.amazon.com/Techniques-Astral-Projection-Samael-Weor-ebook/dp/B07KPFFXML Buy My Art - Unique Sigil Magic and Energy Activation Through Flow Art and Voyages Through Space and Imagination. https://www.newearth.art/ BUY MY BOOK! https://www.amazon.com/Reality-Revolution-Mind-Blowing-Movement-Hack/dp/154450618X/ Listen to my book on audible https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Reality-Revolution-Audiobook/B087LV1R5V Attract Large Sums Of Money Into Your Life With Trainings And Meditation https://realityrevolutioncon.com/largesumsofmoney The New Earth Activation trainings - Immerse yourself in 12 hours of content focused on the new earth with channeling, meditations, advanced training and access to the new earth https://realityrevolutioncon.com/newearth Alternate Universe Reality Activation  get full access to new meditations, new lectures, recordings from the reality con and the 90 day AURA meditation schedulehttps://realityrevolutionlive.com/aura45338118 I strongly suggest my good friend Bri Seeley's programs for business and entrepreneurship You can find all about Bri and her programs at https://www.Briseeley.com/reality The Profitable By Design course: https://chiefexecutiveprime--bornforthis.thrivecart.com/pbd/ Join our Facebook group The Reality Revolution https://www.facebook.com/groups/523814491927119 For all episodes of the Reality Revolution – https://www.therealityrevolution.co Join our The Reality Revolution Discord server https://discord.gg/Xbh6H88D8kJoin Us On Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheRealityRevolution/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_reality_revolution/Twitter: https://twitter.com/mediaprimeSpoutible: https://spoutible.com/BrianScottMeWe: https://mewe.com/i/brianscott71Mastodon: https://mastodon.online/@brianscttAtlantis: https://atlantisworld.love/Brian_ScottTribel: https://www.tribel.com/brianscott/wallPost.News: https://post.news/@/Brian_ScottHive Social https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hive-social/id1480835284 Music By Mettaverse and epidemic sound

It is impossible to have continuity of purpose without a true individuality. If the psychological individual does not exist, if many people live in each one of us, if there is no responsible subject, it would be absurd to demand continuity of purposes from someone. We well know that many people live inside a person, so the full sense of responsibility does not really exist in us. What a certain I affirms at a given moment cannot be serious due to the concrete fact that any other I can affirm the exact opposite at any other moment. The serious thing about all this is that many people believe they have a sense of moral responsibility and deceive themselves by claiming to always be the same. There are people who, at any moment of their existence, come to Gnostic studies, glow with the strength of yearning, get enthusiastic about esoteric work and even swear to dedicate their entire existence to these matters. Unquestionably all the brethren of our movement even admire such an enthusiastic one. One cannot but feel great happiness in listening to these kinds of people, so devoted and definitely sincere. However, the idyll does not last very long. Any given day, due to this or that reason, just or unjust, simple or complex, the person withdraws from Gnosis and abandons the work. Thus, in order to right the wrong, or in trying to justify himself, he joins any other mystical organization and thinks that he is then doing better. All this coming and going, all this incessant change of schools, sects, religions, is due to the multiplicity of I’s that struggle amongst themselves for their own supremacy within our interior. This constant fluttering around among organizations, from idea to idea, this change of opinions is but normal, since every “I” possesses its own criteria, its own mind, its own ideas. Therefore, such a person in himself is nothing more than a machine who just easily serves as a vehicle to one “I” or another. Some mystical I’s deceive themselves after having abandoned this sect or the other. They decide to believe themselves to be Gods. Thus, they shine like fatuous lights and finally disappear. There exist people who show themselves for a moment to the esoteric work, then, all of a sudden, another “I” intervenes. Thus, they definitely abandon these studies and allow themselves to be swallowed by life. Obviously, if one does not struggle against life, then one is devoured by life. Very rare are the aspirants who truly do not allow themselves to be swallowed up by life. The permanent center of gravity cannot exist within us as long as a whole multiplicity of I’s exist inside of us. It is normal that not all people achieve intimate Self-Realization. We know very well that the intimate Self-Realization of our Being demands continuity of purpose. Therefore, it is not strange that only very few people can attain the profound inner Self-Realization, since it is very difficult to find someone with a permanent center of gravity. What is normal in this subject matter is for someone to become enthusiastic for the esoteric work and then to abandon it. What is strange is for someone to not abandon the work and to reach the goal. Indeed, in the name of the truth, we affirm that the Sun is conducting a very complex and terribly difficult laboratory experiment. Germs exist within the intellectual animal (mistakenly called human being) that when conveniently developed can convert us into solar humans. Nonetheless, it is not irrelevant to clarify that the development of these germs cannot be taken for granted. What is normal is for these germs to degenerate and become lamentably lost. In any event, the above-mentioned germs which can convert us into solar humans need an adequate environment. It is well known that the seed in a sterile environment does not germinate; it is lost. Continuity of purposes and a normal physical body are necessary in order for the real seed of the human being, deposited in our sexual glands, to be able to germinate. Yet, if the scientists continue experimenting with the glands of internal secretion, then any possibility of development for these aforementioned germs can be lost. Although it may seem incredible, the ants already passed through a similar process, in a remote, archaic past of our planet Earth. One is filled with wonder when contemplating the perfection of the nests of ants. There is no doubt that the order established in any ants nest is overwhelming. The Initiates who have awakened their consciousness know through direct mystical experience that in ages which the most famous historians of the world do not even remotely suspect, the ants were a human race who created a very powerful socialist civilization. At that time, the dictators of such a race eliminated the diverse religious sects and free will, for all of these things undermined power away from them. They needed to be totalitarians in the most complete sense of the word. So, in these conditions, after having eliminated individual initiative and religious rights, these intellectual animals precipitated themselves downwards into the path of devolution and degeneration. Moreover, they added to the aforementioned scientific experiments: transplant of organs, glands, hormonal tests, etc., whose outcome was the gradual diminishing in size and the morphological alteration of their human organisms until finally, through the ages, they became the ants that we now know. Thus, their entire civilization, all those movements related with their established social order, became mechanical and were inherited from parents to children. Today, one is astonished when seeing an anthill, but we cannot but lament its lack of intelligence. Therefore, if we do not work on ourselves, we devolve and degenerate horribly. Indeed, the experiment that the Sun is conducting in the laboratory of Nature, besides being difficult, has given very few positive results. The creation of solar humans is only possible when true cooperation exists within each one of us. Thus, if first of all we do not establish a permanent center of gravity within our interior, then the creation of the solar human being is impossible. How can we have continuity of purpose if we do not establish a center of gravity in our psyche? Certainly, any race created by the Sun has no other objective in Nature but to serve the interests of this creation and the solar experiment. Yet, if the Sun fails in its experiment, then it loses all interest for such a race. Thus, such a race is left condemned to destruction and devolution. Each of the root races that have existed on the face of the Earth has served the Solar experiment. From each root race, the Sun has managed to get a few to fruition, that is to say, the sun has harvested small groups of solar humans. After a root race has given its fruits, it disappears in a progressive manner, or perishes violently due to great catastrophes. The creation of solar humans is possible when one struggles to become independent from the lunar forces. There is no doubt that all those I’s that we carry within our psyche are exclusively of a lunar type. By no means is it possible to liberate ourselves from the lunar forces if we do not previously establish within ourselves a permanent center of gravity. How can we dissolve the total of the “I” if we do not have a continuity of purpose? How could we have continuity of purposes if we do not establish the center of gravity in our psyche? Hence, this contemporary race has condemned itself towards devolution and degeneration, since instead of becoming independent of the lunar influence, it has unquestionably lost all interest for the solar intelligence. It is not possible for the true human being to appear through evolving mechanics. We know very well that evolution and its twin sister devolution are nothing else but two laws which constitute the mechanical axis of all Nature. One evolves to a certain perfectly defined point, and then the devolving process follows. Every ascent is followed by a descent and viceversa. We are machines that are controlled exclusively by different I’s. We serve Nature’s economy. We do not have a defined individuality as is erroneously supposed by many pseudo-esoterists and pseudo-occultists. We need to change with maximum urgency so that the germs of the human being will give its fruits. We can become solar humans only by working on ourselves with true continuity of purpose and a complete sense of moral responsibility. This implies the total consecration of our existence to the esoteric work on ourselves. Those who hope to reach the solar state through the mechanics of evolution fool themselves and condemn themselves, in fact, to a devolving degeneration. In the esoteric work, we cannot afford the luxury of versatility. Those who have fickle ideas, those who work on their psyche today and let themselves be swallowed by life tomorrow, those who seek subterfuges and justifications in order to abandon the esoteric work will degenerate and devolve. Some postpone the error, leave everything for tomorrow while they improve their economic situation, without taking into consideration that the solar experiment is something very different from their personal criteria and their aforementioned projects. It is not so easy to become a solar human when we carry the Moon in our interior (the ego is lunar). The Earth has two moons. The second one is named Lilith and is a little farther away than the white moon. Astronomers often see Lilith like a lentil, since it is very small in size. It is the black moon. The most disastrous forces of the ego come to the Earth from Lilith and produce infrahuman and bestial psychological results. The crimes mentioned in the news, the most monstrous murders in history, the most unsuspected crimes, etc. are due to the vibratory waves of Lilith. These two lunar influences are represented within the human being through the ego that we carry in our interior and which makes of us true failures. Therefore, if we do not see the urgency of surrendering our total existence to the work on ourselves with the purpose of liberating ourselves from the double lunar force, then we shall end up swallowed up by the Moon, devolving, degenerating more and more into certain state which we could very well classify as unconscious and infraconscious. The sad part of all this is that we do not possess true individuality, if we had a permanent center of gravity we would then truly work seriously in order to achieve the solar state. There are so many excuses in these matters, so many evasions, so many fascinating attractions, that it usually becomes almost impossible to comprehend the urgency of the esoteric work. Nevertheless, the small amount that we have in free will and the Gnostic teaching oriented towards practical work can serve as a basis for our noble intentions in relation to the solar experiment. What we are stating here is not understandable by the fickle mind. The fickle mind reads this chapter and then forgets it; it reads another book, then another. To that end, our fickle mind tends to end up joining any institution which sells us a passport to heaven, that talks to us in a more optimistic manner, that assures us of comforts in the beyond. This is how people are mere marionettes controlled by invisible strings, mechanical dolls with fickle ideas and without continuity of purpose. Samael Aun Weor

All religious and spiritual movements emphasized the importance of self-knowledge for developing a personal relationship with divinity. Rather than rely on convoluted theories or convictions without evidence, aspirants of any tradition can develop experiential wisdom of mystical truths through the application of practical techniques. See how through an examination of the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas, Socrates' daemon in the Apology, Samael Aun Weor's explanation of spiritual inquietudes, and the famous Greek maxim of Delphi: “Gnothi Sauton” or “Know Thyself.”

As one works on oneself, one comprehends more and more the necessity of radically eliminating from one’s inner nature all that which makes us so abominable. The worst circumstances of life, the most critical situations, and the most difficult deeds are always marvelous for intimate self-discovery. The most secret “I’s” always surface in those unsuspected, critical moments, and when we least expect them. Unquestionably, if we are alert, we discover ourselves. The most tranquil moments of life are precisely the least favorable for the work upon oneself. Moments in life exist which are too complicated. In those moments we have the marked tendency of identifing easily with the events and completely forgetting about ourselves. In those instances, we do foolish things which lead nowhere. If, in those moments, we are alert, if instead of losing our minds we remember our own selves, we would discover with astonishment certain I’s of which we never had the slightest suspicion of their possible existence. The sense of intimate self-observation is atrophied in every human being. Yet, such a sense will develop in a progressive manner by working seriously, by observing oneself from moment to moment. As the sense of self-observation continues its development through the continuous use, we will become more and more capable of directly perceiving those I’s about which we never had any data related to their existence. Indeed, while in the sight of the sense of inner self- observation, each of those “I’s which inhabit our interior assume this or that figure. This figure is secretly related to the defect that is personified within it. Undoubtedly, the image of each of those “I’s has a certain unmistakable psychological flavor. We, through this image, instinctively apprehend, capture, trap its inner nature, and the defect which characterizes it. In the beginning, the esoterist does not know where to start. He feels the necessity of working on himself but is completely disoriented. Yet, if we take advantage of the critical moments, of the more unpleasant situations, the most adverse instances, we shall then discover if we are alert, our outstanding defects, the “I’s that we must urgently disintegrate. Sometimes one can begin with anger or pride or with the wretched second of lust, etc.. However, if we truly want a definite change, it is necessary to take note of our daily psychological states. Before going to bed, it is wise to examine the events that occurred during the day, the embarrassing situations, the thunderous laughter of Aristophanes, or the subtle smile of Socrates. It is possible that we may have hurt someone with a laugh, or that we caused someone to fall ill with a smile or with a look that was out of place. Let us remember that in pure esotericism good is all that is in its place; bad is all that is out of its place. For instance: water is good in its place, but if the water is out of place, if it floods the house, then it would cause damage; it would be bad and harmful. Likewise, fire in the kitchen, when in its place, besides being useful, is good. Yet, the fire out of its place, burning the furniture of the living room, would be bad and harmful. Thus, any virtue, no matter how holy it might be, is good in its place; yet, it is bad and harmful out of its place. We can harm others with our virtues. Therefore, it is indispensable to place virtues in their corresponding place. What would you say about a priest who preaches the Word of the Lord inside a brothel? What would you say about a meek and tolerant male who blesses a gang of assailants attempting to rape his wife and daughters? What would you say about that type of tolerance taken to such an extreme? What would you say about the charitable attitude of a man who, instead of taking food home, shares his money among beggars who have a vice? What would be your opinion of a helpful man who in a given moment lends a dagger to a murderer? Remember, dear reader, that crime also hides within the rhythm of poetry. There is much virtue in the perverse one and as much evil in the virtuous one. Even though it may appear incredible, crime also hides in the very perfume of prayer. Crime disguises itself as a saint. It uses the best virtues; it presents itself as a martyr and even officiates in the sacred temples. As the sense of intimate self-observation develops in us, through its continuous use we can see all those “I’s” that serve as a basic foundation to our individual temperament, whether it be sanguine or nervous, phlegmatic or bilious. Although you may not believe it, dear reader the fact is that behind the temperament that we possess, the most remote profundities of our psyche, the most abominable diabolic creations are hidden. To see such creations, to observe these monstrosities of hell within which our very same consciousness is imprisoned, is only possible with the ever progressive development of the sense of intimate self-observation. Therefore, as long as a human being has not dissolved these creations of hell, these aberrations of himself, undoubtedly in the deepest part, in the most profound part of him, he will continue being something that must not exist, a deformity an abomination. The most critical aspect of all of this is that the abominable person does not become aware of his own abomination. He believes himself to be beautiful, just, a good person, and he even complains about the lack of comprehension of others. He laments the ingratitude of his fellowmen. He says that they do not understand him. He cries affirming that they owe him, that they have paid him back with black coins, etc. The sense of intimate self-observation allows us to verify for ourselves, and in a direct manner, the secret work by which in a given time we are dissolving this or that “I” (this or that psychological defect), possibly discovered in difficult conditions and when we least suspect it. Have you, sometime in your life, ever thought of what you like or dislike the most? Have you reflected on the secret causes of action? Why do you want to have a beautiful house? Why do you desire the latest model car? Why do you want to always be wearing the latest fashion? Why do you covet not being covetous? What offended you the most in a given moment? What flattered you the most yesterday? Why do you feel superior to this or that fellow in a specific moment? At what hour did you feel superior to someone? Why do you feel conceited when you relate your triumphs? Couldn”t you keep quiet when they gossiped about someone you know? Did you receive the goblet of liquor out of courtesy? Did you accept smoking, although not having the vice, possibly because of the concept of education or out of manliness? Are you sure that you were sincere in your chatter? And when you justify yourself, when you praise yourself, when you boast about your triumphs and do so repeating what you have previously told others, do you comprehend that you are vain? The sense of intimate self-observation, in addition to allowing you to see clearly the “I” that you are dissolving, will also allow you to see the pathetic and defined results of your internal Work. In the beginning, these creations of hell, these psychic aberrations that unfortunately characterize you, are more ugly and monstrous than the most horrendous beasts that exist at the bottom of the oceans or in the most profound jungles of the earth. Yet, as you advance in your work, you will be able to evince through the sense of internal self-observation the outstanding fact that those abominations lose bulk; they grow smaller. It is intriguing to know that such bestialities, as they decrease in size, as they lose bulk and become smaller, they gain in beauty; they slowly assume a childlike figure. Finally, they disintegrate; they become a cloud of cosmic dust. Then the imprisoned Essence is liberated; it is emancipated; it awakens. Undoubtedly, the mind cannot fundamentally alter any psychological defect. Obviously the intellect can give itself the luxury of naming a defect with this or that name, of justifying it, or passing it from one level to another, etc. But it could not by itself annihilate it, disintegrate it. We urgently need a flaming power superior to the mind, a power that by itself is capable of reducing this or that psychological defect to a mere cloud o cosmic dust. Fortunately, that serpentine power exists within us, that wonderful fire that the old medieval alchemists baptized with the mysterious name of Stella Maris, the Virgin of the Sea, the Azoe of Science of Hermes, the Tonantzín of Aztec Mexico, that derivation of our own being. intimate, God the Mother in our interior always symbolized with the sacred serpent of the Great Mysteries. If after having observed and profoundly comprehended this or that psychological defect (this or that “I”), we beg our individual cosmic Mother, since each of us has his own, to disintegrate, to reduce to a cloud of cosmic dust this or that defect, that is, the “I,” the motive of our interior work, Then you can be sure that it will lose mass and it will be slowly pulverized. All of this naturally implies successive deep works, always continuous, since no “I” can ever be disintegrated instantly. The sense of intimate self-observation will be able to see the progressive advance of the work in relation with the abomination whose disintegration truly interests us. Although it may appear incredible, Stella Maris is the astral signature of the human sexual potency. Obviously, Stella Maris has the effective power to disintegrate the aberrations that we carry in our psychological interior. The decapitation of John the Baptist is something that invites us to reflect. No radical psychological change is possible if we do not first pass through decapitation. Our own derivative-Being, Tonantzin, Stella Maris, as an electric power, is unknown to the entire humanity. Yet, she abides latent in the depth of our psyche. Ostensibly, she enjoys the power that permits her to decapitate any “I” before its final disintegration. Stella Maris is that philosophical fire that is found latent in all organic and inorganic matter. Psychological impulses can provoke the intensive action of such a fire and then decapitation is made possible. Some “I”s are usually decapitated at the beginning of the psychological Work, others in the middle and the last ones at the end. Stella Maris, as a sexual igneous power, has full consciousness of the work that must be performed. She performs the decapitation at the opportune moment, at the appropriate instant. As long as the disintegration of all these psychological abominations, of all this lasciviousness, of all these curses: robbery, envy, secret or manifest adultery, ambition for money or psychic powers, etc. has not been produced, even when we think ourselves honorable persons, true to our word, sincere, courteous, charitable, beautiful in our interior, etc., obviously, we are nothing more than whitened sepulchers, beautiful from outside, yet full of disgusting filthiness inside. Erudition is good for nothing: the pseudo-wisdom of the complete information on the sacred writings, whether these be from the east or the west, from the north or the south, the pseudo-occultism, the pseudo-esotericism, the absolute certainty that one is well informed, the intransigent sectarianism with complete convincing, etc. This is because, indeed, at the bottom exists what we ignore, which is, creations of hell, curses, monstrosities that hide behind the pretty face, behind the venerable countenance, underneath the most holy garb of the sacred leader, etc. We have to be sincere with ourselves and ask ourselves what we want, if we have come to the Gnostic teaching out of mere curiosity, if in reality what we desire is not to pass through decapitation, then we are fooling ourselves; we are defending our own filthiness; we are proceeding hypocritically. In the most venerable schools of esoteric wisdom and occultism there are many sincerely mistaken ones who really want to self-realize but who are not dedicated to the disintegration of their interior abominations. Numerous are these people who assume that through good intentions it is possible to attain sanctity. Obviously, as long as one does not work intensely on those “I’s” that we carry within our interior, they will continue to exist beneath the depth of our godly appearance and our upright conduct. The time has come for us to know that we are perverse ones disguised with the robe of sanctity: wolves in sheepskin, cannibals dressed in gentlemen”s clothing, executioners hidden behind the sacred sign of the cross, etc. As majestic as we may seem inside our temples or inside our classrooms of light and harmony, as serene and sweet as we may seem to our fellowmen, as reverent and humble as we may appear, the abominations of hell and all the monstrosities of the wars continue to exist at the bottom of our psyche. In revolutionary psychology, the necessity of a radical transformation is evident to us and this is only possible by declaring on oneself a merciless and cruel war to the death. Indeed, all of us are worthless, each one of us is the disgrace, the abomination of the earth. Fortunately, John the Baptist taught us the secret way: to die in oneself through psychological decapitation. Samael Aun Weor

The “Great Work” is, first of all, the creation of the true human being by dint of our will, based on conscious labors and voluntary sufferings. The “Great Work” is the inner conquest of oneself, of our true liberty in God. Therefore, if in reality we want the perfect emancipation of our willpower, we need, with a maximum and unavoidable urgency, to disintegrate all those “I’s” that live in our interior. Nicholas Flammel and Raymond Lully were both meager men, yet they liberated their will and accomplished innumerable psychological prodigies that caused astonishment. Agrippa never progressed past the first part of the “Great Work.” He lamentably died while struggling in the disintegration of his “I’s” with the objective of possessing himself and establishing his independence. The perfect emancipation of willpower assures the sage absolute dominion over fire, air, water and earth. The assertion of our former paragraphs, in relation with the sovereign might of the emancipated willpower, may seem exaggerated to many students of contemporary psychology Nonetheless, the Bible narrates wonders about Moses. According to Philo, Moses was an Initiate in the lands of the Pharaohs on the banks of the river Nile. He was a Priest of Osiris, and he was the Pharaoh’s cousin, educated among the columns of Isis, the Divine Mother, and of Osiris, our Father who is in secret. Moses was a descendant of the Patriarch Abraham the great Chaldean Magus, and of the very respectable Isaac. Moses, the man who liberated the electric might of the willpower, possesses the gift of prodigies. This is known by the Divine Ones and humans. So it is written. All that the sacred Scriptures state about this Hebrew leader is certainly extraordinary, portentous. Moses transformed his staff into a serpent. He transformed one of his hands into that of a leper and then restored it to health again. His power was clearly demonstrated in the “burning bush;” thus, people comprehended, knelt and prostrated themselves. Moses handled a Magical Wand, emblem of royal power, of the priestly power of the Initiate in the Great Mysteries of Life and Death. In front of the Pharaoh, Moses changed the water of the Nile into blood; the fish died, the sacred river became infected, the Egyptians could not drink from it, and the irrigation canals of the Egyptians poured out blood onto the field. Moses did more; he succeeded in causing millions of disproportionate, gigantic and monstrous frogs to appear out of the river and swarm through the houses. Then, upon his signal (an indication of a free and sovereign willpower) those horrible frogs disappeared. However, since the Pharaoh did not set the Israelites free, Moses worked new miracles: he covered the earth with filth, stirred up clouds of repugnant and filthy flies, which he later gave himself the luxury of driving away. He unchained the frightening plague and all the flocks died, except those of the Jews. He took ashes from the furnace, states the sacred Scriptures, threw them into the air and they fell on the Egyptians, causing them pustules and boils. Putting forth his famous magical wand, Moses caused a hailstorm from heaven which mercilessly destroyed and killed. Next, he caused the fiery lightning bolt to strike. The terrifying thunder roared and it rained horribly. Then, with a signal, everything returned to calm. However, the Pharaoh continued to be inflexible. Moses, with a tremendous strike of his Magical Wand, as if by magic, caused clouds of locusts to appear. Then darkness came. Another strike of the wand and all returned to its original order. The end of that Biblical drama of the Old Testament is very well known: Jehovah intervened, causing the firstborn of the Egyptians to die, and the Pharaoh had no other choice but to let the Hebrews leave. Next, Moses made use of his magical wand to separate the waters of the Red Sea and to cross it with dry feet. When the Egyptian soldiers threw themselves in pursuit of the Israelites, Moses, with a signal caused the waters to close again, swallowing the followers. Unquestionably on reading this, many pseudo occultists wish they could do the same, and have the same powers of Moses. However, this is more than impossible as long as the willpower continues to be bottled up in each and every one of those “l’s” which we carry within the different depths of our psyche. The Essence, engrossed in the “myself,” is the Genie in Aladdin”s lamp, wishing for liberty… Once the Genie is free, he can accomplish miracles. The Essence is “Conscience-Willpower,” unfortunately processing itself in virtue of our own conditioning. When our willpower is liberated, then it blends or fuses itself with the Universal Willpower. Thus, as an outcome of this, when integrated like this, our willpower becomes sovereign. The individual willpower fused with the Universal Willpower can accomplish all the miracles of Moses. There are three types of actions: 1. Those which correspond to the Law of Accidents. 2. Those which belong to the Law of Recurrence, actions always repeated in each existence. 3. Actions which are intentionally determined by the Conscious Willpower. Unquestionably, only persons who have liberated their willpower through the death of the “myself” shall be able to accomplish new acts born from their free willpower. The common and current acts of mankind are always either the result of the Law of Recurrence or the mere product of mechanical accidents. Death of the Myself Whosoever truly possesses free willpower can originate new circumstances. Whosoever has his willpower bottled up in the pluralized “I” is a victim of circumstances. In all the Biblical pages, there is a marvelous display of High Magic, Seership, Prophesy, Miracles, Transfigurations, and the Resurrection of the dead by insufflation or laying of hands, or by a fixed look upon the root of the nose, etc. Abounding in the Bible is massage, holy oil, magnetic passes, the application of a little saliva on the sick part of the body, reading another person”s thoughts, transportations, apparitions, words coming from heaven, etc., true marvels of the liberated, emancipated and sovereign Conscious Willpower. Witches? Sorcerers? Black Magicians? They are found everywhere like wild weed. They are, however, not Saints nor Prophets, nor Adepts of the White Fraternity. No one can arrive at “Real Illumination” nor exercise the absolute Priesthood of the Conscious Willpower, if he has not first died radically in himself here and now. Many people write to us frequently complaining of not possessing illumination, asking for powers, demanding clues that shall convert them into Magicians, etc.; but they never become interested in observing and knowing themselves, or in disintegrating those psychic aggregates, those “I’s” within which the willpower, the Essence, is absorbed. Persons like that are obviously condemned to failure. They are people who covet the faculties of the Saints but who have, in no way decided to die in themselves. The elimination of errors is something magical, marvelous by itself, which implies rigorous psychological self- observation. The exercise of powers is possible when the marvelous power of the will is radically liberated. Unfortunately, since the willpower of people is absorbed in each “I,” obviously their willpower is divided into multiple wills that process themselves in virtue of their own conditioning. It is clear to comprehend that each “I” possesses its own particular, unconscious will. The innumerable wills engrossed in the “I’s” frequently clash with each other, making them impotent, weak, miserable, victims of circumstances, incapable, due to that reason. Samael Aun Weor

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology by Samael Aun Weor reminds us that no matter who we are, we feel fulfillment, happiness, and purpose inside of ourselves. These qualities are not felt outside of ourselves, and cannot be found in external things or circumstances. By knowing ourselves, we acquire the knowledge of how to change for the better.

Samael Aun Weor claimed that he could remember his own birth, and had identified the only true path to spiritual development. Crucial to his religion was a sexual practice that involved couples never reaching orgasm. Though many who follow his belief system understand sickness to be a result of one's own karma, their master died of stomach cancer in 1977. He claimed that when he died, he would be resurrected. Guest: Lynn Short Full research sources listed here. You can support us on Patreon or Acast+, with a one-off donation, or grab some merch.

YouTube episode: https://youtu.be/D5xsaTXATUE Identification with thoughts and feelings is the first root cause of all mental illness in its early stages, and without the study of oneself through self-observation it can be difficult to detach and bring higher awareness to our negative "inner atmosphere". This "atmosphere", or "inner world", can often be 'heard' and 'felt' if we are sensitive enough; and if we pay continued attention we will notice that the same 'songs' are compulsively and addictively repeated throughout our lives - forming our beliefs about reality. Becoming aware of this ultimately leads to more intimate psychological comprehension, self-knowledge and spiritual healing at a root level.

This video is dedicated to an upcoming free Gnostic app which will be released in a few months (all details will be posted here). In the meantime, there's a Telegram group which you can join to study the teachings. If you're interested, watch through the video first and then decide whether you want to join. There are some advanced images and diagrams provided in the video to give you a sense of the depth of esoteric knowledge that the Gnostic teachings provides. Similarly, the four principles talked about in the video are just to give you a sense of the kind of devotion required in order to really understand the teachings. They are not strict rules per se, but rather core practices which will help us to gradually embody Gnosis at a fundamental level. For example, deep meditation gives us the clarity of mind through psychological comprehension that leads to the death of the ego, and sexual transmutation (suprasexuality) helps us to renounce the sensual pleasures of the physical world in order to have the energy to perceive and feel the suprasensual worlds (higher worlds/dimensions), which in time also creates the Solar Astral Body.

Entre 2010 y 2013 pertenecí a la comunidad de Pueblo Nación Muisca-Chibcha y sin saberlo al principio, a la Gnosis de Samael Aun Weor. Ésta última ha sido reconocida en varios países como una peligrosa secta. Durante años escuché la denuncia de que mi comunidad muisca era también una Muisca pero siempre pensé que se trataba de calumnias por envidia. ¿Se trataba realmente de una secta y cómo puedes tú reconocer una secta para alejarte de ella?

TeleiosGnosis.org YouTube Channel There is a scientific method on how to remember your past lives. We will discussing this method. "We have to understand that we are asleep. If people were truly aware, they would see, feel and touch the realities of the superior worlds. If people were aware, they would remember their past lives, they would see the earth as it really is, because at this very moment we do not see how it really is at all." - Samael Aun Weor

"First state of consciousness is called Eikasia. Second state of consciousness is Pistis. Third state of consciousness is Dianoia. Fourth state of consciousness is Nous." www.TeleiosGnosis.org "The lowest part of man is irrational and subjective and is related with the five ordinary senses. The highest part of man is the world of intuition and objective spiritual consciousness. In the world of intuition, the archetypes of all things in nature develop.
