Reflections on the Path of Initiation

Meditation, Internal Development and Dangers on the Path

Previously the great secrets of initiation were found through a system of internal meditation; this knowledge of perfect meditation took many years so that, through this means, the great chosen ones were prepared to make contact with the astral realm.

Meditation is still the book of the Gnostic, and the great truths come through this means; students of esotericism may enter the astral realm by using their radiant body which they must fill with light through sexual magic and perfect chastity, and then learn to consciously go into the astral with their astral body and with first hand knowledge, bringing back the memories of everything that is verified and done in that realm.

The astral world is more effective in order to acquire wisdom and practical knowledge, because the astral body is liberated from time and distance. In addition, the astral realm is where the battle between the columns of Angels and demons is verified; light and darkness.

The Zodiacal Course is given to all students who aspire to knowledge and improvement of the consciousness; this course is a thorough, detailed and esoteric discipline which will serve as practical and positive guidance in order to reach the very altar of initiation.

For the first time in the course of the ages, the great mystery of the “fire’s seven degrees of power” is unveiled, that is to say the seven igneous serpents of the seven bodies, that through the seven portals lead us up to the ineffable joy of Nirvana (these great initiations or portals, are nine, but the remaining two are Macrocosmic).

Through the development of all the powers that the human being has, through a very detailed and thorough esoteric discipline, the student is prepared for the new era that is coming: Aquarius, which will be a totally spiritual age.

In the black age that is dying, humanity has known the most repugnant forms of sex, but in the next one they will know the divinity of sex, because they will have to be purified…

We know that the forces of evil will go against us, but to really serve humanity, we should become their redeemer, although we acknowledge that humanity does not like redeemers; that is why when someone practices good will we always hear that: “No good deed ever goes unpunished”, and the truth is that human beings dislike redeemers…

We do not fear attacks from the tenebrous ones, because we know that the legs of the thrones of the masters are made of monsters, and all sacred objects of the temples stand on animalistic pedestals…

Each degree which is won is the result of a terrible battle against the black lodge, because the battle is fought against evil, but the warrior is awarded after the battle.

We respect all life, because we know that the Real Being dwells within all living beings and is evolving within them and that the form or characteristic that he stands for comes to be a mental creation that he has formed.

If we take any animal and we strip them of their bodies: material, vital, mental, astral, etc., then there remains a little man, or divine spark, who would immediately complain and ask why he has been stripped of his bodies.

This is the man of fire or the divine Monad that progresses, evolves and develops throughout all of the experiences.

Therefore animal forms are simple mental creations of the children of fire; pictorial forms of their dream-like images made flesh, blood and life…

The true student is not the one who stops so that the Master teaches them or shows them what is taught here, because we speak of what we see, hear and feel in the supersensible worlds.

The Intertwining of East & West, of the Buddha & the Christ

A warning from us to the disciple: The one with whom one has to be honest is with oneself.

When human beings give evidence that they are just and upright, then they convert themselves into a potency. Being a potency does not mean to be a potentate since these kinds of people are dominated by even a cigarette butt, they are slaves of their vices and desires.

The process of initiation is a series of terrible battles against oneself, against Nature and against the world…

Stifle your passions through willpower, and then choke them, even though it hurts you to the bone and the beast protests…

One must sink into the darkness of oneself in order to take the light from it… The light is extracted from the darkness.

The light is produced from the darkness, and the cosmos comes out of the chaos…

In the Chaldean-Egyptian era, when talking about the Masters, everyone pointed to the stars, because everyone could see the stellar genii and could converse with them.

During the Greco-Roman epoch, it was not like that anymore, since humanity had already lost their clairvoyance and only retained the memory of the superior entities.

The age of reason began with Aristotle, which is now coming to an end, because the new Aquarius era will be the age of intuition. Nonetheless, Aristotle still remembered the planetary genii. A great part of the work of Aristotle is precisely devoted to remembering the spirits of the planets and going up through the stellar spirits to the universal God.

Kepler, the illustrious german astronomer and great mathematician, still retained memories of the sidereal genii, but then modernism ended with those memories, until finally in the year 1604 a constellation ended up erasing, totally erasing, all the memories of the sidereal genii.

And then Copernicus, the famous Polish astronomer appeared, demonstrating the double movement of the planets around themselves and around the Sun, this theory was later condemned by the Church and deemed as contrary to the Holy Scriptures, since all they could see was only physical globes and celestial mechanics.

Thus, the age of reason that started with Aristotle now ends, because reason is only a historical transitional state between instinct and intuition.

First humanity had instinct, then reason, and now comes intuition as a divine function. Instinct is the negative pole of intuition and intuition is the positive pole of instinct.

Therefore, subjective reason was only a state of transition between instinct and intuition.

In 1912, Steiner prophesied that a spiritual science, much greater than the one that was known back then, would come: this new spiritual science is the message of the Master Samael Aun Weor.

This teaching that the Master Samael Aun Weor gives and directs intertwines the east and west, the Buddha and the Christ, giving it a new aspect through amorous magic, and the woman is the new vestal of the divine temple where love officiates as the priest.

Nowadays one can see how the east has developed the powers of the Internal Master, but they lack the powers of personality. Westerners have developed personality, but they lack the development of the Internal Master. When fully development, and by uniting both, we have the triumph of the spirit, in this great cosmic evolution…

With these teachings one obtains the development of the powers of the personality and also the powers of the Internal Master; one intertwines the East and the West in order to form a strong culture and then women come to be the center of the union where the two great cultures converge, which will give men the certain path in order to victoriously arrive at the sublime altar of initiation, in order to begin living the life of the gods…

The personality that we highlight here, does not refer to the satanic powers of the inferior “I” or false personality, or to the animal soul; therefore it is not about the external characteristics of the physical body, of that personality that is today revered by the culture of the 20th century, that is to say the assets that a person has.

The personality to which the Master refers is the purified consciousness of the Intimus, the human soul or Superior Manas, the Bodhisattva of the Internal Master, along with the psychic extracts of the inferior vehicles, that is to say the pure and already redeemed soul… The beautiful Shulamite of the Song of Songs.

True Wisdom is Found in the Heart

Humanity continues on the path of evil, because it does not have a stumbling block; vices and pleasures smile at them with a charming appeal. The world only likes those things that are of the world, of the mundane; the world does not want anything from those who deviate from it.

Public opinion has come to form a defensive wall for evil. Public opinion is kneaded like dough with the errors of each of its members. Tyrants love evil and defend it because they govern and command with evil; we love good and we also command but with humility.

Nowadays the good of others displeases people; whereas they are pleased to see other’s suffering and they even make it public with excitement.

Everyone believes in their own way; the criterion is flexible; reason belongs to the one who possesses it and who is the strongest; the personality depends on the assets of the person; truth is a synonym with evil and it is a common thing to say that they are going to “sing the truth” [meaning ‘tell it like it is’] to those they really want to offend and upset.

Truth has to be proven with witnesses, because nobody accepts it; on the contrary, fabrications spread easily and the wicked ones are pleased with slanderous persons.

In my opinion, whosoever repeats slanderous statements is more wicked than the one who originally made it because the latter may be influenced by hatred or envy, but the former does it out of pleasure just like a disciple of evil.

And considering that all those nuances of daily life happen in the centers where the Living God is revered.

What does your spirituality consist of, if you live intertwined with the shadows? or do lecture room spiritualists believe that being spiritualists is to have a “rubber spine” in order to bow so as to get a post within the clique or a title that their boss forks over because of their membership?

This is how an obstructive fanaticism is created and how breeding grounds for cowards are formed.

One has to wield the sword of fire against all this social framework!

True wisdom is not found in books, but within the heart.

Goethe’s Faust gets tired of reading the wisdom of books and when he comes to his senses, he finds himself to be elderly and ignorant. He loses heart over the life which Mephistopheles (the genius of evil) takes advantage of in order to give him his contrived wisdom, which Faust accepts because it provides him with pleasure and riches, but later on it gives disappointments and sorrows. It is a fact that the wisdom of the human beings always ends up looking for pleasure.

The higher the level of intellectuality is for a person, the higher their level of moral degradation will be. This is proof that intellect is a function of the animal soul.

In this era that is now ending, all sects, beliefs, theories, schools, etc., fulfilled a very necessary mission as elements of inner education for humanity, but the Era of Aquarius will be something very different and will have nothing to do with the different lodges and lecture rooms that are currently in use, because it is understood that the Aquarian type of human beings already took these elementary courses and therefore they not only no longer need them, but in addition they are a hindrance or obstacle which will render them incapable of thinking freely and receiving esoteric instruction from their own Internal Master, who is their sacred Intimus or “Inner Being”.

Gnostic Initiation

Students of Gnosis are warned that upon entering the path it is forbidden to talk about their initiations and degrees attained; these great mysteries are profaned when publicly disclosing them; moreover, this is vanity, pride and ostentation.

“An argument started among Christ’s disciples as to which of them would be the greatest one”, that is to say, the one with the highest initiation or esoteric degree.

“But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him.

“Then he said to them, Whosoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whosoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For it is the one who is least among you all who is the greatest.” (Luke Ch. 9 v. 47 & 48).

The initiate must be as simple and as pure as a child, without any vanity, pride or ostentation, nor should they talk about their initiations because this is something very sacred and we are forbidden to speak about it.

This course will only work for those who are thirsty for light, for those of humble heart, it is not for the ‘wise scholars’ because they are already satisfied with their knowledge and their science, and we are not looking for ‘wise scholars’, but those who are not.

The student must practice the teachings and keep in mind that we are not interested in the wisdom of the eye, but in the doctrine of the heart. Consequently, they have to be scrutinizing and launch themselves into battle against evil and then take heaven by force.

“How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people” (Luke 21:23).

Dear reader: it has already been said that animal reproduction belongs to animal life and consequently to the past, and those who stay in this animal reproduction are left behind or get disintegrated.

Therefore we are facing the dilemma of ‘to be or not to be’.

Slaves sing to Nature! And the supermen & superwomen of humanity sing to the Gods…!

We are already tired of being donkeys of reproduction (failures) and now we transmute sexual energy in order to free ourselves from Nature and convert ourselves into Gods…

Supernatural, that which is Above Nature

Homer, the singer of old Troy and Achilles’ anger (whom the greeks represented blindfolded so as to indicate his divine clairvoyance), tells us about Ulysses, the illustrious warrior and destroyer of fortresses, who reached as far as the island of Callisto, where the cruel Goddess Circe turned men into pigs, after the former drank mandrake liquor that the cunning Goddess offered them in her bewitching cup.

Here is Homer showing us this Goddess as the representation of Nature, which with its delicious and bewitching cup of carnal passion converts human beings into pigs, until a Ulysses finally arises, who draws the sword of willpower, and puts it upon the breast of the bewitching goddess, breaking the delicious cup and converting himself a Lord and a Master of it…

Gnostics should be like that; we must grasp the sword of willpower in order to break the cups of seductive temptation and become the master of the tempting Goddess…

We must draw the sword of willpower in order to fight against Nature and to dominate her. We have to sit on the throne of the Gods and grasp the scepter of power of sexual energy, the staff of the patriarchs, Aaron’s rod/wand, Brahma’s staff in order to govern the whole of Nature and to put it at our service.

Ordinary people love natural things; we love the supernatural, that is to say: that which is above nature, which is our sacred Intimus.

When we fight the battle for Nirvana (in order to gain the ineffable joy of Nirvana), we must always follow the Intimus, the Internal Master, thereby starting a terrible struggle for the dominion over the disciple.

The external personality wants dominion for itself, and it also desires it for the external personality of friends and relatives, that of one’s spouse, children and society in general.

This is the struggle against the world and the flesh of which the Bible speaks when it refers to the ‘enemies of the soul’, and thus in order to save the soul one must get rid of all that which attracts the animal self : greed, anger, and lust.

One must take up the sword against ones’ friends and against ones’ enemies, against the good and against the bad, against parents, against the spouse and against the children, against the world and against Nature.

One must fight a terrible battle against everything so as to break these chains that bind us to Nature and enter the ineffable bliss of Nirvana.

This does not mean aggression against anybody, or hate against anyone. It only means to defeat Nature and to fight against temptation, no matter where it comes from…

In speaking about this, Christ said:

“Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division.”

“For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.”

“The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law” (Luke 12 v. 51-53).

These verses of Saint Luke do not refer to urban life as many neophytes believe, but to the terrible battle for Nirvana.

The Unborn Children of Mother Nature and Gnostic Sexuality

Ordinary people aspire to conquer urban life by dividing themselves against one another, but we aspire to conquer Nirvana for ourselves, and in this terrible battle against Nature.

If we do not overcome Nature, then Nature will defeat and devour us: this is the terrible battle for the ‘to be or not to be’ of philosophy.

The human condition can not be indefinitely extended (as many semi-spiritualists and profane people mistakenly believe) in order to reach the end of the current Mahamvantara because we are the fetuses of the great Goddess Isis (Mother Nature) and just as it is impossible to stay longer than nine months as a fetus within the womb of the mother. It is also not possible to gestate within the womb of great mother Nature for an indefinite time, and now mother Nature has to give birth to human beings as either Angels or as demons.

We are precisely at that moment in which mother Nature gives birth to us as either Angels or as devils, but she will inevitably do so.

Angels are neither formed nor do they gestate with papers nor theories nor old books, nor with titles of nobility, but instead with the same sexual forces with which plants, animals, human beings and Gods are gestated, and with which everything that exists in creation is formed.

Everything that has been created has its womb!

Gods are born within the womb of the goddess Isis, where an intense life of Sexual Magic is lived…

Gnostics, do not make any more offerings to death! Each child that is born is one more offering to the altar of death.

There are two kinds of sexual acts: the common and ordinary animalistic one which is defended tooth and nail by human beings; and that creates for death…

The other divine, which is also firmly defended by us those who are followers of the light; the one that creates Gods.

The human beings follows Javhe. The Divine ones follow Jehovah.

“You are free to eat from any tree in the garden. But you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”

This is the divine plan.

The other one says: “If you eat of it you will be like gods”.

This is the disobedience of the law that humanity enthusiastically follows.

We are censored with curtness because we speak in a clear way about the sexual forces and those who get horrified are precisely the fornicators.

They do not know that they were locked inside a uterus in order to gestate as human beings; they get horrified of their origin because they feel ashamed of their own corruption and they try to cover that shame with hints of mysticism and of philosophy.

Brother or Sister reader! Out of that which is seemingly filthy, emerge: plants, beasts, human beings and Gods.

The scent of the roses comes from the mud of the earth.

The human species comes out of the woman’s uterus.

And Gods are gestated within sexual magic.

Whosoever knows the genesis of the Angels becomes an angel as well, and the genesis of the Angels is sexual magic.

The gnostic is an embryo of God, developing themselves within the uterus of sexual magic.

When the embryos of God have reached their full development, then, mother Nature gives birth to them as masters of the Mahamvantara. As an omnipotent child of the fire.
