041 – Gnostic Discipline for the Awakening

(Also called “Techniques for the Awakening” in English)

PDF Version has 10 pages

 

“Q. Master, we would like to know a clue or technique for the awakening of the Consciousness.

A. With pleasure we will give some explanations about the awakening of the Consciousness.

My dear brothers, first of all it is necessary comprehend that the Consciousness of the human beings is asleep. Unfortunately, people do not want understand that are asleep; everybody thinks that are awake and however, they are asleep…”

040 – The Necessity to Crystallize the Soul

(Also called “Gnostic Study of the Soul” in English)

PDF Version has 5 pages

“First of all my dear brothers, it is necessary to know the path which leads to the Inner Self-Realization of the Being. Undoubtedly, it is urgent to comprehend the necessity of crystallizing in us that which is called Soul. Jesus Christ said: “In your patience possess ye your Souls;” but first, it is necessary to understand what is that something called Soul.

Certainly, I have to say you that the Soul is a conjunct of laws, principles, virtues, powers, etc.; people have the Essence, the psychic material to elaborate Soul, or better to say, to crystallize the Soul, but they do not have Soul yet.

Obviously, he that wants to have that something which normally is called Soul, will have to disintegrate the undesirable psychic aggregates that we carry inside: anger, greed, lust, envy, pride, laziness, gluttony, etc. Virgil, the poet of Mantua, said: “Even if you would have one thousand tongues to speak and steel palate, you would not be able to enumerate all your defects correctly…”

Obviously, the defects are called psychic aggregates in Tibet; those aggregates are very same to the elementaries that are mentioned by  different occultist organizations and are the living representation of our errors….”

039 – Didactic for the Buddhist Annihilation

(Also called “The Didactic for the Dissolution of the Ego” in English)

PDF Version has 19 pages

 

“What is essential within us is to attain the crystallization of the soul. Yet, what is that which we must understand as soul? We must understand as “soul” the conjunction of bodies, attributes, powers, virtues, qualities, etc., which underlie within the Being.

The gospels state: “In your patience possess ye your souls…” -Luke 21:19  Presently we do not possess our souls; rather, the soul possesses us, since we are a heavy burden for that which is called “soul”, an overwhelming load indeed.

So, to attain possession of the soul is a longing; to become the owners of our own souls is formidable; moreover, the very same physical body must be transformed into soul….”

038 – Work Flavor and Life Flavor

(Also called “The Taste of the Work, the Taste of the Life” in English)

PDF Version has 10 pages

 

“It is necessary to understand the necessity to disintegrate the Ego, and this could not be possible if we do not make good use of the hard experiences of life.

It is necessary to know that there are persons that after a work of permanent observation during the different events of the life, forget the work that are doing and as a result of it the experiences are taken as before.

When one takes the experiences of the life as a way to attain a goal, as a way to reach the self-discovery, as a way to attain the self-observation, one can taste these experiences, the taste of the work is something marvelous; it brings an ineffable exquisiteness.

When one discovers a determined psychological defect and eliminates it, then one tastes the work, it is an unmistakable taste; but when one after been working, leaves the work on oneself and takes the experiences of the life as before, that is to say, re invert the sense of the experiences, then undoubtedly one will feel once again the same taste of the daily routine, the same taste of the common life.

So, it is necessary to distinguish between the Work’s taste and the taste of the routine life.  For this reason I say to you my dear brothers: do not escape from the experiences of life, make good use even of the most simple experiences to the self-discovery.”

036 – Psychic Associations which lead to Awakening

(Also called “The Awakening of the Consciousness” in English)

PDF Version has 10 pages

 

“On the floor of the cathedral of Notre Dame of Paris there is a drawing labyrinth; let us remember the labyrinth of Creta, on the center of it, it was the Minotaur. It is said that Theseus could orientate himself through that labyrinth and to find the Minotaur, afterwards, in a hand to hand fight he defeated him. He could get out of that labyrinth with the help of the Ariadne’s thread which leaded him to the final liberation.

It is interesting to know that on the floor of the Cathedral of Notre Dame of Paris a marvellous labyrinth was sketched; undoubtedly, all of this is something that invite us to reflect.

To orientate ourselves is not something easy, the labyrinth of the theories is more bitter than death itself. Meanwhile some authors say that the respiratory exercises are extraordinary, others say that are harmful; meanwhile some affirm something, others say something else. Each school believes having the truth; therefore, the labyrinth is very difficult.

When one reaches the labyrinth, one has to fight hand to hand with the Cretan Minotaur, that is to say, with our own Ego, with the “I,” with the myself, with the oneself; one is capable to get out of this labyrinth with the help of the Ariadne’s thread that has to lead us to the light. However, almost everybody get lost among the labyrinth of so many theories, schools and confusions.

What can we do in order to orientate ourselves? Obviously, we have to be interested in the awakening of the Consciousness, only in this form we will be able to walk successfully inside of that mysterious labyrinth. However, meanwhile we do not awake, we will remain confused…”

034 – Protection Against Psychological Impressions

(Also called “The Transformation of Impressions” or “Imprints Transformation” in English)

PDF Version has 10 pages

 

“The subject of this lecture is self-transformation. In past talks, we spoke about the importance that life has in itself; we also said that a man is what his life is and that his life is like a film. He takes it with him when he disincarnates to relive it in a retrospective manner in the astral world, and later he returns and brings it with him again to project it once more on the scenario of the physical world.

Digestion itself is transformation. The food in the stomach, that is to say, on the inferior floor of the factory, undergoes transformations.

If something enters [the body] without passing through the stomach, the organism is unable to assimilate essential vitamins and proteins, and this would easily result in indigestion. So as we reflect upon this question, we understand the necessity of passing through a transformation. It is clear that physical food is transformed, but this is something that we must reflect on.

Do we transform impressions adequately?

Nature doesn’t need the intellectual animal to transform impressions. A person who can transform impressions has an in-depth knowledge. This is what we need to understand…

It would be wonderful if we were able to transform impressions. Most people (as they see practical life) believe that this physical world is going to give them everything they yearn for and are looking for. This is really a tremendous mistake. First of all, we need to understand the meaning of the esoteric work as it relates to the transformation of impressions. Do wee need to transform them? Certainly, yes! Life enters our organism in the form of mere impressions.

A person cannot really transform himself if he does not transform the impressions that come to his mind. Life doesn’t really exist as an external thing. What we are saying is something very revolutionary because everybody believes that what is physical is real; however, if we look at it a little more deeply, we will see that what we are receiving every moment, every instant, are impressions…”

032 – The Gnostic Psychology of False Sentiments

(Also called “The False Sentiment of the ‘I'” in English)

PDF Version has 12 pages

(Available online at GnosticTeachings.org  http://gnosticteachings.org/lectures-by-samael-aun-weor/149-the-false-sentiment-of-the-i.html   )

“We will talk about the sentiment of oneself. It is worthwhile to reflect about the sentiment of ourselves, it is convenient to understand profoundly what is the false sentiment of the “I”.

We all have always in the bottom of our heart the sentiment of ourselves, but it is convenient to know if this sentiment is correct or mistaken; it is necessary understand what the sentiment of the “I” is.

First of all it is urgent understand that the people would be ready to leave the alcohol, the theater, the smoking, the parties, etc., except their own sufferings. People adore their own pains, their sufferings; they would more easily renounce to a moment of happiness instead of their own sufferings.”

 

031 – The Psycho-Emotional Metamorphosis of Man

(Also called “The Need to Change our Way of Thinking” or “The Psycho-Emotional Metamorphosis of Human Being” in English)

PDF Version has 9 pages

 

“First of all, it is necessary to know the laws of the Gnostic esoteric work, that is, if we indeed want a radical and conscious change.

In the name of the truth we will state that if there is any place where we shall begin to work on ourselves, it has to be in relation to the mind and emotions…”

024 – The Intimate Need to Not Project

(Also called “The Intimate Need of Not Projecting” and “The Projections of the Mind” in English)

PDF Version has 5 pages

“The time has come to go to the depth of this theme and I think that the most important, is to stop dreaming. The dreams are mere projections of the mind and for that reason they are just illusions, are useless. Precisely, it is the Ego the one that projects the dreams and obviously those dreams are useless.

We need to transform the subconsciousness in Consciousness, we need to eradicate radically not only the dreams but even the possibility of dreaming; there is not doubt that that possibility exists meanwhile there exist the subjective elements within our psyche.

We need a mind that does not project, we need to drain off the process of thinking. The projecting mind, projects dreams and these dreams are vane and ephemeral.”

023 – The Danger of Mental Effigies

(Also called “Mental Representations II” in English)

PDF Version has 14 pages

“I realize that not all the brothers comprehended the lecture related with the psychic aggregates and the representations.

In the name of truth we have to say that the world of the mind is the deposit of the entire past, present and future mental forms.

So, the world of the universal mind has to be study profoundly, if we want to understand something about the Ego and the representations. Many brothers have been unable to understand clearly what is the difference between the Ego and the representations.

We have said emphatically that the psychic aggregates in their conjunct, form that what is called Ego; each psychic aggregate is the very personification of some defect of psychological type.

We have also said that within every aggregate there exist certain percentage of inner Consciousness. We have clarified that disintegrating those aggregates, the Consciousness is liberated. We gave the techniques.

However, in our past lecture, we gave something else, I am talking emphatically about the representations. What could be the difference between the aggregates and the representations? That is what we are going to study in our lecture today.”

 

022 – The Serious Damage of Mental Representations

(Also called “Mental Representations” in English)

PDF Version has 23 pages

 

“Well my dear friends, we have been studying the distinct aspects of the mind, and afterwards we will continue, going deeper into the practical field of love, of interesting facts in the elimination of the psychological aggregates. This is very difficult.  Nevertheless, this is not all, there is something else we must watch for. I am referring emphatically to mental representations.

For in the world of the senses there are difficult representations such as they are, the objects that surround us, remorse, etc. but representations of the mind also exist.

In the mind there are many representations that we must take into account…”

018 – The Occult Facets of our Psychological Moon

(Also called “The Hidden Face of our Psychological Moon” in English)

PDF Version has 9 pages

“Within us there is a hidden part of our own Ego, that is never visible. As the Moon has two faces, one that is visible and another that is hidden, in the same way we have an occult part that is not visible. First of all, I want you to understand that as there exists a Physical Moon, there also exists the Psychological Moon. That Psychological Moon is carried within us; it is the Ego, the “I”, the myself…”

016 – The Verb and the Priestly Magistry

(Also called “The Word and the Impression” in English)

PDF Version has 4 pages

“The Consciousness sleeps in our larynx, we are unconscious of the words. We need to become totally conscious of the word.

There are times when to speak is a transgression, there are times when to keep silent also is a transgression.

It is said that “the silent is gold”. We say that there are criminal silences. It is as bad to speak when one has to be silent as to be silent when is necessary to speak.

Like a flower full of colors but without aroma, are the beautiful but sterile words of the one that does not behave according with what he says.

It is urgent to stop the mechanical words, it is necessary to speak with precision, in conscious and opportune form; we need to become conscious of the word.”

011 – The Precariousness of the Human Psyche

PDF Version has 9 pages

“In the name of truth we must recognize that we do not have a defined individuality. I would say, clearly, that within each person live many people. This could be rejected by the fanatics of the materialistic dialectic, but it could never be rejected by truly intelligent people.

Anger, greed, lust, envy, pride, laziness, and gluttony, with all their ramifications, deep down constitute a series of successive I’s that live within us here and now.

Within us there is presently not an authentic individuality. No one is the same person for even half an hour. If I were to think that one of you was the same person for half an hour, obviously I would not only be abusing you, but what’s worse, I would also be hurting myself.

So then, we don’t have an authentic individuality…”

008 – Imagination as Power, Fantasy as Prison

(Also called “Imagination and Fantasy” in English)

PDF Version has 8 pages

 

“Obviously, it is convenient to make a clear differentiation between imagination directed voluntarily and mechanical imagination. Undoubtedly, directed imagination is Conscious Imagination; for the wise, to imagine is to see.  Conscious Imagination is the translucent in which the firmament, the Mysteries of Life and Death, the Being, are reflected.

Mechanical imagination is different. It is formed by the residues of the memory, it is the fantasy. It is necessary to investigate it profoundly.

People with their fantasy, with their mechanical imagination, do not see themselves such as they really are, but in accordance with their own forms of fantasy.”

007 – Gnostic Outline of the Psychological “I”

(Also called “The Psychological ‘I'” in English)

PDF Version has 7 pages

 

“Different pseudo esoteric schools stress the preposterous idea of a duple “I”. The first they qualify as the Superior “I”, the second is denominated the Inferior “I”. We say that superior and inferior are two parts of the same thing. Much has been said about the Alter Ego even praising and deifying it, considering it to be divine. In the name of Truth it has become indispensable to say that the superior and inferior are two aspects of the same Ego, and therefore the praise of the first and the underestimation of the second, result without doubt, in something incongruous.

We make an accurate differentiation between that which is the “I”, and that which is the Being.”

005 – The Exercise of Self-Knowledge

(Also called “The Knowledge of Oneself” in English)

PDF Version has 13 pages

 

“We are going to talk a bit about spiritual restlessness, but the first thing we need is creative comprehension.

In life, it is fundamental to know oneself. Where do we come from? Where are we going to? What is the objective of existence? Why do we live? What do we live for? The phrase at the entrance of the temple of Delphi which read “Nosce Te Ipsum” (and which means “Man, know yourself and you will know the universe and its Gods”) is axiomatic.

To know oneself is fundamental. Everybody think they know themselves when in actual fact they do not. Therefore it is necessary to reach the full knowledge of oneself. This can be done with incessant self-observation. We need to see ourselves as we really are.”

003 – The Pendular Behavior of Humanity

(Also called “The Law of the Pendulum” in English)

PDF Version has 14 pages

 

“We will begin our lecture of tonight. Certainly, humanity lives in the battle of the opposites, among the crude fight of the opposites. Sometimes we are very happy; other times we are depressed, sad. We have epochs of progress, of well being -according with the law of Karma- we also have critical times, in the economic and social field, etc…”

002 – Chaotic Consciousness and Intelligent Consciousness

PDF Version has 14 pages

 

“Today we are going to study all those disturbing topics related to our own existence.

Where do we come from? Where are we going to? What is the purpose of our existence? What do we live for? What are we here for? Why are we here?

These are really enigmatic questions that we all should solve. Above all, if we want to know something about ourselves, we have to start to SELFEXPLORE.  The physical body is only the densest part of us. It is composed of organs, and the organs are formed by cells, and the cells by molecules, and the molecules by atoms; and if we break an atom, we liberate energy. But THE PHYSICAL BODY IS NOT EVERYTHING.”

001 – Analysis of the Human Psyche

PDF Version has 17 pages

 

“With the greatest pleasure I address to you tonight so that we talk a little bit about psychological matters. We will talk about Revolutionary Psychology…

Above all, we must know who we are, where we come from, where we are going to, which is the objective of our existence, why we exist, what we exist for…”

“Only life intensely lived gives a lasting wisdom; but the mind, which is the one that causes us to commit errors, impedes us from arriving at the amphitheater of Cosmic Science. The errors of the mind are those I’s or psychological defects which the intellectual animal, falsely called man, carries in his interior.”

“The ascending periplus, with all the published books of the Venerable Master Samael Aun Weor, has accomplished its commended mission with the unveiling of this sacred work.

This book fills one of the greatest necessities of the world. It is the forefather of a new civilization, of a new culture, and the re-establishment of the holy Gnostic Church on the face of the Earth.

You are close to the great cataclysm. The times of the end have already arrived. The struggle of the elements will begin to break loose in the diverse places of our planet. Be aware as a watchman in the epoch of war. You must put an end to the Kundartiguador organ, and with it, the “I”, the ego, will definitely be destroyed, and the Being will be born.

Thus, you will achieve the inner Self- realization. The seed of the angel is in the sanctuary of each one of you. Its germination will be possible through the perfect matrimony and the three factors, which you already know.”

“On January 13, 1977, I had a mystical experience of ascending along a rough path full of mud and human feces. There were abysses everywhere. Upon my shoulders, I carried a big bundle with a cap, which opened from time to time and from which fleas emerged that lacerated my flesh all over.

I felt fear and I stepped back a little, but I said to my Internal Father that I was going to continue my Christic Initiation no matter what.

The fleas were the symbol of the criticism made towards me by humanity.”

“Since Gnostic studies have progressed extraordinarily in recent times, no cultured person would fall today, as in the past, into the simplistic error of making the Gnostic currents arise from any exclusive spiritual latitude.

Although it is true that in any Gnostic system we must take into account its Eastern Hellenistic elements, including Persia, Mesopotamia, Syria, India, Palestine, Egypt, etc., we should never ignore the Gnostic principles perceptible in the sublime religious cults of the lndo-American Nahuas, Toltecs, Aztecs, Zapotecs, Mayas, Chibchas, Incas, Quechuas, etc, etc, etc.”

 

1978 – The Initiatic Path in the Arcana of Tarot and Kabbalah

Book 58 and Compiled Lectures 2
[Overall Publication #83]

(Also called “Tarot and Kabbalah” in English)

PDF version contains 297 pages
“The origin of the Kabbalah is lost in the night of the centuries, there, where the universe was formed in the womb of Maha Kundalini, the Great Mother. The Kabalah is the science of number.

The author of the Tarot was the Angel Metraton who is Lord of the Wisdom of the Serpent. He was the prophet Enoch about whom the Bible speaks.

The Angel Metraton or Enoch left us the Tarot, in which is contained all Divine Wisdom. This was written in stone. He also left to us the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew Alphabet. This great Master lives in the superior worlds, in a world of unimaginable happiness; the world of Aziluth, or in terms of the Kabalah, the region of Kether, a very elevated Sephiroth. All kabalists base themselves in the Tarot. It is necessary to study and know it profoundly. The universe is formed with the Law of Number, Measure and Weight. Mathematics forms the universe. Numbers become living entities.”

“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.

1975 – The Great Rebellion

Book 53
[Overall Publication #74]

 

PDF version contains 65 pages

“Although it may seem incredible, it is certainly very true that this so much hackneyed modern civilization is frightfully ugly, it does not fulfill the transcendental characteristics of aesthetic sense, and it is devoid of inner beauty.
…We resemble vain peacocks with our fine clothes and shiny shoes, although all around us and throughout the world there are unhappy, undernourished and wretched millions.

Natural, spontaneous and ingenuous simplicity and beauty, without any artifice nor conceited make up, have disappeared in the female sex. Now we are modern, that is life. People have become dreadfully cruel, kindness is not found, nobody has compassion for anyone any more.”

1974 – The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac

Book 52 and Christmas Message 23 (1974-1975)
[Overall Publication #73]

 

PDF version has 96 pages

“Bel and the Dragon, Quetzalcoatl and Xolotl, Apollo and Python, Krishna and Kaliya, Osiris and Typhon, Michael and the Red Dragon, St. George and his Dragon: these are always the individual, divine Logoi and their doubles, projected in our own psyche for our own well being.

We will emphasise that killing the Dragon or Venus Lucifer-Xolotl is the same as becoming his children; namely, we receive the Morning Star.

In ancient times, the dragons were the symbol of eternity and of wisdom. The hierophants of Egypt, Babylon, and India called themselves the “Sons of the Dragon and of the Serpent”. This corroborates the teachings of Universal Gnosticism.

Xolotl, the shadow or double of the Mexican Christ, Quetzalcoatl, plunging from the empyrean to our own atomic infernos, is truly extraordinary and marvellous.

Xolotl means dog as well as twin. We may also remember in this chapter that Father Sahagun states that the dog is the symbol of the fire of celestial origin.”

PDF version contains 154 pages
“Question: Master, is the tempting Serpent of Eden the same Sacred Serpent?

Answer: My dear Brethren, your question seems to me very interesting and I hasten to answer.

It is clear that in the avernus the truth disguises itself in darkness. It is rather surprising to know that the snake can polarize itself in a positive or negative manner.

This means to say that the tempting serpent of Eden although being the tenebrous contrast of the serpent of light is undoubtedly the negative polarization of the bronze serpent that healed the Israelites in the desert.

It is surprising to know that the radiating serpent polarizes itself in this fatal manner and this invites us to comprehend that it does so for the good of its own child, to destroy in the avernus the infrahuman elements that we carry within and free us from the frightening clutches of pain; this is bow the love of every Divine Mother is.”

“In the year Ce Acatl (895) in the home of Iztacmixcoatl and Chimalma Quetzalcoatl, the Nahua Cosmic Christ was incarnated. He had a mystical and austere disposition. When very young he practiced fasting and penance. When he was thirty years old he was named grand priest and monarch of Tollan (Tula, state of Hidalgo).

Another Toltec anna states:

Exiled from his country, he returned to it after many years. From distant countries, he brought with him a very advanced civilization and a monotheistic religion of love for all human beings.

Another of those chronicles states:

Quetzalcoatl arrived to Tollan through Panuco; he was carried over the sea in a wooden vessel. He was fair skinned and bearded, he wore a tunic embroidered with little red crosses.”

“The whole of the Cosmos is directed, invigilated and animated by a nearly never ending series of hierarchies of conscious beings; each one of them has a mission to carry out, they are Messengers (known by any of a set of various names: Dhyan-Chohans, Angels, Devas, etc.) only in the sense that they are agents of the karmic and cosmic laws. They vary enormously in their respective degrees of consciousness and intelligence, and they are all perfect Men in the most complete sense of the word.

The Divine Love is characterized by multiple angelical services. Each Elohim works at his speciality. We can and should appeal to the angelical protection.”

“The Christic esoteric Spear of the Holy Grail and the pagan Lance of magic pacts, displayed by Wotan, is the same blessed Pike sacred to all the people from remote antiquity.

…We need to enquire, research and investigate the delicious paroxysm of sexual union as it is not just a reflection of the Tamas, according to the Tantra.

During the paroxysm of joy, we should directly discover the cosmic and creative synthesis of SHIVA (Holy Spirit) and SHAKTI (His Divine Wife Kundalini).

Whilst the ordinary intellectual animal is fatally defeated by abominable lustfulness and gets carried away by passionate affection, in other words, suffers during enjoyment for the vile completion of pleasure, the Gnostic esoterist, during coitus and in full ecstasy, victoriously enters the region of the Monads in the splendid world of TATWA ANUPADAKA.”

“Let us now, with great prudence, to unveil Parsifal, the culminating work of Wagner. May the Gods assist us..!

The Muses know very well that among the Wagnerian dramas, this diamantine work of this great Master is something special and exceptional.

In this opera, the word of this Master delectably flows as a golden river under the thick jungle of the Sun.

What Goethe stated about his second Faust also can be stated about Parsifal, namely: “I have accumulated in it many mysteries and enigmatic problems, which the future generations will occupy themselves in deciphering”…”

“Q. What is beyond death?

A: Death is something profoundly significant. By discovering what death is in itself, we will know the secret of life. That which continues beyond the sepulcher can be only known by people who have awakened their consciousness. Your consciousness is asleep, and therefore you cannot know what is beyond death. Theories are as many as the sands of the sea, thus each one has his own opinion, but what is important is to experience in a direct manner that which belongs to the mysteries beyond the grave. I can assure you that the souls of the deceased live within the beyond of this great nature.”

“To always repeat the same thing, to live the life of machines, from home to work, and from work to home, to marry and become little child-making machines, is not living. If that is what we study for, if that is why we go to school, college and university for twelve of fifteen years, we would be better off by not studying.

Mahatma Gandhi was a very unique man. Many times Protestant pastors sat on his doorstep for whole hours trying to convert him to Protestant Christianity.

Gandhi did not accept the teaching of pastors, neither did he reject them. He understood and respected them, and that was all. Many times Mahatma said, “I am Brahman, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, etc.” Mahatma understood that all religions are necessary because they contain the same Eternal Values.

Accepting or rejecting any doctrine or concept reveals a lack of mental maturity. When we reject or accept something, it is because we have not understood it. Whenever understanding exists, accepting or rejecting is unnecessary…”

“It is worthy to know that this magical science of breath (Pranayama), when wisely combined with scientific meditation, permits us to utilize certain sparks, flashes, flames of Kundalini, for the healthy purpose of attaining the Awakening.

…A Judo of the Spirit exists; we are referring to the Runic exercises. These are formidable in order to attain the awakening of the consciousness.

Whosoever wants to work with this Judo must begin to work with the Rune of Mercury, which has a violet color that originates extraordinary cosmic forces.

Therefore, it is necessary to know that this aforesaid Nordic Rune encloses in itself the whole potency, an impulse for fecundity.”

“On a Mayan manuscript preserved in the British Museum, the following can literally be read:

In the year 6 KAN in the 11th Mulac, in the Month Zac, there occurred terrible earthquakes, which continued without interruption until the 13th Chuen.  The Country of “The Hills of Mud”, the Atlantean land, was sacrificed; being twice upheaved it suddenly disappeared during the night, the basin being continually shaken by volcanic forces. Being confined, these caused the land to sink and rise several times and in various places. At last the surface gave away and ten countries were torn asunder and scattered; unable to stand the force of the convulsions, they sank with their 64 million inhabitants 8,000 years before this book was written.”

“There are four states of Consciousness that are possible for man: Sleep, Vigil Consciousness, Self Consciousness and Objective Consciousness.

Imagine for a moment, dear reader, a house with four floors. The poor Intellectual Animal mistakenly called man, normally lives on the two lower floors, but never in life does he use the two superior floors.

The Intellectual Animal divides his painful and miserable life between run-of-the-mill sleep and the improperly called Vigil state, which unfortunately is another form of sleep.

While the physical body sleeps in bed, the Ego, enveloped in its Lunar Bodies, goes around with the consciousness asleep like a somnambulist moving freely in the molecular region.”

(Also called “From Darkness to Light” in English)

60 pages in the PDF version

 

“In nirvana, there exist many Buddhas who, despite their great perfection, have never attained the Venustic Initiation. The law of the Solar Logos is sacrifice for humanity. He sacrifices himself from the dawn of life, crucifying himself in all worlds, on each new planet, which comes into existence, so that all beings may have life and have it in abundance. Rare is he who receives the Venustic Initiation; it is a very special grace. One must previously have sacrificed oneself for humanity.”

“Obligatory or mechanical Self-realization does not exist. The realization of the Inner Self of the human being is the outcome of a conscious fight. Nature does not need the realization of the Inner Self of the human being, it does not want it, it detests it. Thus, nature fights against it with its best weapons.

The realization of the Inner Self can only be an urgent necessity for the revolutionary individual, when he realizes his horrible situation and the abominable fate that awaits him, which is the fate of being voraciously swallowed by the mineral kingdom.”

1965 – The Book of the Dead

Book 32
[Overall Publication #48]

 

The PDF version has 12 pages

 

“Two things go to the grave. The first is the physical body, and the second is the human personality. As we have already said, the latter is formed during the first seven years of infancy and is strengthened with experiences. Sometimes the personality wanders through the cemetery, or leaves its grave when the mourners visit and bring flowers. But the personality soon disintegrates. The personality is energetic and atomic. The personality is perishable. There is no future for the personality of a dead person, it is mortal.

The personality is not re-incarnated. The personality is a child of its time and dies in its time. What continues is the essence, that is to say, the GHOST OF THE DEAD PERSON. Within the ghost, the RE-INCARNATE EGO, the SELF is found. This is the Legion of Devils which continues. It is a mistake to divide ourselves between two EGOS, one a superior sort and the other inferior: The EGO is a LEGION OF DEVILS, which normally develops within us; that is all.”

(Also called “The Elimination of Satan’s Tail” and “Technique for Dissolving the “I”” in English)

“This Christmas, it is necessary for you to deeply comprehend the evolutionary and devolutionary processes that the Ens Seminis undergoes, because with infinite patience, you can find the whole Ens Virtutis of the fire element within it.  Esoteric traditions state that after the disappearance of the Atlantean Continent, certain knowledge related to the origin and significance of the Ens Seminis survived…”

1963 – Marriage, Divorce, Tantrism

Book 24
[Overall Publication #39]

 

PDF version has 5 pages (with 2 columns per page)

 

“Happiness in marriage is only possible with the death of Judas. That Judas is the I, the myself, the reincarnating Ego.

We need to go from Peter to John. First, we must travel the path of Peter and work with the Philosopher’s Stone (Sex). Afterwards, we have to reach the path of John (the VERB). These two paths are separated by the horrifying abyss where only wailing and gnashing of teeth is heard. If we truly want to go from Peter to John, we need to throw a bridge across to link both paths; that bridge is called Death. There, Judas, the I, the myself, the Ego, must die…

Remember that Mother Kundalini’s kiss is Death and Resurrection.  One day you will wake up and afterwards you will have the joy of dying in yourself; Judas has to die at the bridge if you want to reach the path of John…”

“I shall speak to you of the problem of death. Death is our crown. After death, the soul enters the astral light. When the hour of death comes, the Angel of Death approaches the deathbed. There is a choir of Angels of Death. This choir is conducted by the planet Saturn. Each Angel of Death carries a book. In this book are the names of all the souls which must depart from the flesh. Nobody dies the day before. The Angel of Death only removes the soul from the body. The soul is linked to the body by a fine, heavenly cord of a silvery color. The Angel of Death breaks the cord so that the soul cannot re-enter the body.”

“It is necessary to be successful in life. If you truly want to be successful, you should begin by being sincere with yourself, recognizing your own errors. When we recognize our errors we are on the path to correcting them. Everyone who corrects his own errors is inevitably successful.

The businessman who daily blames others for his failures and never recognizes his own errors will not be successful.”

1960 – The Message of Aquarius

“We explain the Secret Doctrine of our Adorable Savior. We intensely love this poor suffering humanity. We warn this humanity of the planet Earth about the Apocalyptic hour in which we are in.

We disclose the veil of the book of Apocalypse. This is a terribly divine book. The human beings will have to define themselves as angels or demons, eagles or reptiles with this book.

The times of the end have arrived and we are in them. Those who suppose that the times of the end are in a very remote future are very mistaken.”

“The human being should free the energy of the Third Logos, from his obscure animal depths, to make it return transformed into a torrent of liquid fire “INWARDS” and “UPWARDS”. The Kundalini ascends through the central channel of the spinal medulla until it reaches the top of the head. That is the creative energy of the Third Logos!”

PDF version has 23 pages

 

“There is an instant when we can abandon our physical body at will. That instant is when we find ourselves falling asleep. In those moments of transition between vigil and sleep, every human being, wrapped in his or her astral body, escapes the physical body. There is a clue, which allows us to consciously escape from the physical body, to work in the Superior Worlds. The Divine Master, Jesus Christ utilized this clue, when he studied in the pyramid of Kephren.”

“And I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a scroll written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals; and I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals? (Rev 5:1-2).

This divine scroll is man, and the seven seals are the Sacred Serpents that we have to lift over the Rod, as Moses did in the desert.

This is the Great Arcanum.

In this book we study the Mysteries of the Fifth Seal. In this book we study in detail the great mysteries of the Human Will.”

(Also called “The Major Mysteries” in English)

“We cannot enter Eden through false doors; we have to enter Eden through the door through which we came out.

The ruler of Eden is Lord Jehovah. Lord Jehovah dwells in Eden. Lord Jehovah dwells in the Etheric World because the Etheric World is Eden. The Etheric World is Paradise.

Ether is the fifth element of nature. The blue color that we see in the faraway mountains is the ether of Eden.”

[Overall Publication #16]

(This appears to have been the preliminary manuscript that latter became Ch. 16-19 of “The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac” published in 1974, but also included other sections:

  1. Brief Introduction
  2. On Dreams [Ch. 16 of Secret Doctrine of Anahuac]
  3. Dream Yoga Discipline [Ch. 17 of Secret Doctrine of Anahuac]
  4. The Tantric Dream [Ch. 18 of Secret Doctrine of Anahuac]

  6. On Dreams in General (List of Symbols & Colors and their Meaning)
  7. What Numbers Represent (List of Number 1-22 and their Meaning)
  8. The International Gnostic Movement (Brief Explanation of the Gnostic Teaching)

The 1st and 8th sections give “M.A.M.” as their author, but the book has “Samael Aun Weor” as its author on the cover.  Because of this some have called into question the Authenticity of all the information in the book, excluding the 2nd through 5th sections.)

1955 – Mysteries of the Fire

Book 11
[Overall Publication #15]

PDF version has 66 pages

(This book has also been translated as “Kundalini Yoga” in English)

 

“This book entitled Kundalini Yoga is for the New Aquarian Era. Through this book we teach our disciples a practical religion. All religions teach us unbreakable dogmas on which we have to inevitably believe, even when their truths cannot be seen with eyes of the flesh.

In regard to the former statement, we, the Gnostics, are a little different. We teach the human being to see, hear, touch and perceive all of the things from beyond the grave, the divine mysteries, the ineffable things, etc.

We sustain that the human being has a sixth sense and that through this sixth sense, he can see the Angels and converse with them.”

1955 – Treatise of Occult Medicine and Practical Magic

[Overall Publication #14]

PDF version has 271 pages

(Also published as “Esoteric Medicine” in English.  This edition appears to be a translation of the Amplified and Corrected Edition of 1977)

 

“The hour of great decisions has arrived and there is no time to waste. We are assisting in this last moment of agony of this caducous and degenerated race.

The world has covered itself with a horrifying darkness. Painful howls escape from the cavernous abyss.

The tempest of exclusiveness has burst and the ray of justice is terribly shining within the august immensity of thought.

The great “Whore” (humanity) has been sentenced by the ineffable Gods and now it is falling into the fathomless abyss.

The “Anti-Christ”, or the official science, dressed in purple is seated on a throne of blasphemies, and as a voracious hyena is devouring human beings, without pity and without rest.”

1954 – Treatise of Sexual Alchemy

Book 8
[Overall Publication #11]

PDF version has 72 pages

 

“I wrote this book for the Aquarian humanity and for our Gnostic disciples who form the vanguard of human evolution.

The foundation of all the schools of the Mysteries resides in sex. This is why we find a masculine Deity and a feminine Deity in all the religions. We see Isis and Osiris in Egypt, Hercules and Dagon in Phoenicia, Apollo and Diana in Greece, Pluto and Persephone in Attic.

Among the Greeks, the phallus and the uterus are frankly spoken of. This is the Lingam-Yoni of the Mysteries of Eleusis.

The Verb, the Word of Gold, is based on the Great Mysteries of sex. It is impossible to speak the Verb of Light without awakening the Kundalini.”

[Overall Publication #10]

PDF version has 53 pages

 

“Really, the only thing that is useful to one in life is to have a good woman …

We should earn our daily bread with the sweat of our brow and be good citizens.”

“This book is an explanation of the terrors and beauties of the Christification of the Solar Astral Body.

1952 – The Book of the Virgin of Carmel

Book 5
[Overall Publication #7]

PDF version has 24 pages

 

“The Virgin of Carmel was the Mother of the Divine Redeemer of the World. Innumerable writers have sung praises to the grandest mother of all ages. How could we define her?  Neither the quill of Michelangelo, nor the Madonna of Leonardo da Vinci was successful in faithfully expressing to us the image of the Virgin Mary.”

(Christmas Messages 1-12 or 1952-1963 were published all together as “Gnosis in the 20th Century” in 1963)

 

“Today, 1,952 years ago, the most perfect being that our planetary globe has ever known was born in a humble stable in Bethlehem.

Innumerable religious sects argue over his teachings without ever having comprehended them in their highly transcendental, philosophical and mystical aspects.

All authentic Christianity has its roots in the Sacred Order of Melchizedek, King of the fire, who remains a priest forever.”

(Originally published as part of “Gnostic Catechism”, which had 3 parts: ‘Gnostic Catechism’, ‘Christ Consciousness’ and ‘The Power is in the Cross’. “Gnostic Catechism” appears to be a collection of short texts and/or leaflets.  The other two parts do not appear to have been translated yet.)

 

“Love is the summit of wisdom. Wisdom has to be transmuted into love; love is transmuted into happiness.

The germs of wisdom are transmuted into the flowers of love.

The intellect cannot give happiness.”

1951 – Zodiacal Course

Book 3
[Overall Publication #3]

“I sustain that Nirvana can be won by us in a single reincarnation, properly taken advantage of. I have delivered thee this course precisely for thee to win Nirvana quickly and in a few years. I do not want henchmen nor followers only imitators of my example.

I have not come to form any sect or one more belief, neither am I interested in the schools of today, or the particular beliefs of anyone!

…I have delivered this course so that all men may become omnipotent Gods, Gods of fire, ineffable flames.

I do not want to see weaklings nor cowards; the hour of the great decisions has arrived, and heroic men, men of courage, men of valor are needed.

No more exploitation, no more infamy, no more cowardice.”

(Although originally published in 1950, this appears to be a translation of the 4th edition, Revised and Enlarged Version published 1968)

 

“I have written this book for the few; I say for the few, because most people neither accept it, nor understand it, nor want it.

… In this battle for the New Age of Aquarius, which begins on 4th February, 1962, between 2 and 3 o’clock in the afternoon, we had to learn that the abyss is full of sincerely mistaken people and people with very good intentions.”
