LEO 2
Beloved disciple:
Today we enter into the constellation of Leo. Leo is the Heart of the Zodiac and the Throne of the Sun.
Leo is the Dwelling of the sons (or children) of the flame, whom the Bible calls “Thrones”. It is the house of the Four Kumaras.
Leo is the house of the Sun, and governs our Heart. Just as the Sun is the heart of the Solar System, so too is the human Heart the Sun of our organism.
The Forces, that rise from the Earth, and those that descend from the Heavens, meet in the Heart in the form of a triangle, where they mingle and become redeemed, forming the Seal of Solomon.The Heart is the Sacred Chamber of the Blessed Mother Goddess of the world. The ineffable princess of the Kundalini, “Hadit”, the Winged Serpent of the desert, reaches as far as there.
The Cross of Initiation is given to us in the Heart-Temple.
The Kundalini is the laboratory where the Heart works. The Fires of the Heart serve to control the Spinal Fires.
The Kundalini rises according to the merits of the Heart. The Kundalini evolves and progresses within the Aura of the Solar Logos.
The Heart is the most sensitive organ of our organism. The most remote seismic movements of the world are registered within the fine membranes of the Heart.
The Heart is the Sacred Temple of the Internal Master. The Internal Master speaks to us in the form of Hunches .
If the human being obeyed those Hunches, then they would live without problems.
Instead, human beings rebel against the Voice of the Internal Master, and thereby create problems for themselves.
There are two people, two men, in us who live in eternal struggle: one against the other.There is a Celestial Man and an Animal Man in us.
The Animal Man wants to solve things on his own, and acts as he likes best. The Celestial Man talks in the form of Hunches; his voice is the Voice of Silence; and his actions are always upright; and he creates Happiness.
The Animal Man is the Mind which resides in the head with its Seven Portals. The Celestial Man is the Internal Master.
The Master commands, but the Mind does not obey him. Instead, the Mind wants to solve everything on its own and acts as it likes best, without taking the orders of the Internal Master into consideration at all.
As a consequence of this, pain and bitterness necessarily appear, which are the result of mistaken actions and useless efforts.
Happy are those who act with the Voice of Silence. They will never lack bread, shelter and refuge. They will live without problems and will have blessedness.
Brethren: dominate the untamed Colt of the Mind properly, so that it will not cast your ‘carriage’ into the Abyss.
The Internal Master is the Lord of the heart, the Internal Master is the Intimus. He is far beyond the willpower and even further beyond the Consciousness.The Internal Master is the Divine witness, seated on the throne of the Heart-Temple. The Internal Essence of the Master is Absolute Happiness and unlimited Omniscience.
The Internal Master is “simple”. Everything else is complicated, compounded.
Eternal Nature lives constantly changing, but the Internal Master is immutable. Because of this the Master can liberate himself from Nature.
Nature casts its shadows on the Master, but the Internal Master is far beyond all shadows.
When the Soul fuses with the Internal Master, then it liberates itself from Nature and enters into the Supreme Happiness of Absolute Existence. This state of Happiness is called Nirvana.
One arrives at Nirvana through millions of births and deaths, but it is also reached by means of a shorter path, and this path is that of “Initiation”.
The Initiate reaches Nirvana in one single life if they wish.
“Narrow is the door and straight is the path that leads to the light; and very few are those who find it”. [Matthew 7:14]
Seven Initiatic Sanctuaries exist in the Astral World, and if the disciple wants to progress on this path, then they have to seek a Master.
“When the disciple is ready, the Master appears”.
“Be careful of false prophets”.
Do not accept external Masters in the Physical world.
Learn to leave in the Astral Body and when you are skillful in the astral world, then choose an authentic Master of Major Mysteries from the White Brotherhood, and consecrate yourself to them with the most absolute devotion and the most profound respect.
You should walk with much care in the Physical World, since there are many False Prophets. Do not accept external orders from anyone; you should only obey the orders that “we” give thee in the Astral World.
There are many Initiates of the Minor Mysteries in the Physical Plane, who are good and sincere, but they have not yet fused with their Internal Master, they are also “Living Dead” and, consequently, have serious and very grievous errors which can lead the student astray and even make us fall into the Abyss.
When we want to make ourselves known to a student in the Physical World, we will give them “signs” and proofs in the Astral World, but “be careful”, live alert and vigilant as the watchman in times of war, because in these times the Antichrist makes signs and deceiving wonders.
“Be simple like the dove and shrewd like a serpent”. [Matthew 10:16]
“Be meek and humble, but when it regards the Truth, be Strong in Thought, Word and Deed”.
The higher thou art, the more terrible the fall shall be.
Be careful then, of falling, because the disciple who allows themselves to fall, then has to struggle a lot in order to recover what has been lost.
These two rules are very simple, but of terrible importance.
I have known many Initiates of the Minor Mysteries, who have known and accepted False Prophets in the Physical World, and then fell into the terrible Abyss. Thus, I teach the student how to travel in the Astral Body, so that they will not allow themselves to be deceived.
The student who allows themselves to be deceived does so because they do not know how to travel in the Astral Body.
Anyone who tries to ridicule our Sacred Temples and our Sacred Initiations is still a “Living Dead” person, do not listen to them, they are dangerous.
There are people who think they can reach Nirvana without going through any Initiation; such “Living Dead” people follow the Spiral Path of life and only through millions of lives and deaths, will they truly reach Nirvana.
But there are other “Living Dead” people who want to rapidly fuse themselves with their Intimus, and nonetheless, try to mock our Sacred Initiations. This type of “Living Dead” person is the most dangerous because they tread the Path and but are also “mocking” the Path.
These are the “offenders” of Victor Hugo. These are the profaners of the Temple.
To wish to rapidly become fused with the Intimus without having passed through the Nine Initiations of Minor Mysteries, is akin to wanting to receive a doctorate in medicine, without having studied all the required years at university, or like wanting to be a general, without having passed through all the military ranks.
All Initiations are received in the Temples of the Astral Plane, but the school is Life itself.
During the sign of Leo, we should act on the Heart, by means of Meditation.Internal Meditation consists of three phases:
1st PERFECT CONCENTRATION
2nd PERFECT MEDITATION
3rd PERFECT SAMADHIOne has to concentrate the Mind on the Internal Master. One has to Meditate on the majesty of the Internal Master. One has to talk with the Internal Master, until one hears his voice and converses ineffable things with him… This is called “Samadhi”.
Concentration is a technique.
On page 17, in “The Voice of the Silence”, the Master H.P.B. textually says the following:
“Before the soul can hear, the image (man) has to become as deaf to roarings as to whispers, to cries of bellowing elephants as to the silvery buzzing of the golden fire-fly”.
“Before the soul can comprehend and may remember, she must be united unto the Silent Speaker just as the form to which the clay is modelled, or is first united with the potter’s mind”.
“For then the soul will hear, and will remember”.
“And then the Voice of Silence speaks to the Internal Ear”.
So then, during this sign of Leo, we should especially practice Internal Meditation.
I advise my disciples to practice Internal Meditation during those instants in which they feel more predisposed to sleep.
You should totally dominate the untamed horse of the Mind. You should control all possible reactions of the Mind before the objects and sounds of the Physical World.The Internal Master is not the Mind. The Internal Master is not emotion; the Internal Master is not the willpower; the Internal Master is not the consciousness, nor is the Internal Master the intelligence (or intelligent understanding).
The Internal Master is the Divine Witness; the Internal Master is the Being.
The Internal Master is the Intimus, therefore, while deep in profound internal Meditation, say:
“NOT THIS, NOT THIS, NOT THIS.
I AM HE, I AM HE, I AM HE”.
Be demanding with your Internal Master, he should teach you the most ineffable things.
If your Concentration is intense, then you will penetrate into the marvels of the Cosmos and you will learn things that are impossible to describe with words.
During this sign of Leo, vocalize the vowel “O” daily in order to awaken the Heart Chakra.
Between the Sun and Mercury a Secret Planet exists, from which emanates the life of everything that throbs in the Physical World.The Blue Hierarchies of the Sun are the fountain of all life.
The natives of Leo are energetic and generous at the same time, they are magnanimous, mystics and authoritarians. They have a tendency towards anger, and should struggle much in order to dominate that defect.
Leo, being the throne of the Sun, announces fortune and high position. The occult significance of Leo is Intuition.
Gold is the metal of this sign and Diamond is its stone.
The natives of Leo are authoritative and only want to command.
Leo brings some journeys.
The natives of Leo suffer a great deal emotionally.
Fraternally, the Teacher of your class

Samael Aun Weor’s Practices to Gather the Energy of Leo
During the sign of Leo, we should act on the Heart, by means of Meditation.
1. One has to concentrate the Mind on the Internal Master.
2. One has to Meditate on the majesty of the Internal Master.
3. One has to talk with the Internal Master, until one hears his voice and converses ineffable things with him… This is called “Samadhi”.
We advise our disciples to practice Internal Meditation during those instants in which they feel more predisposed to sleep. You should totally dominate the untamed horse of the Mind. The Internal Master is not the Mind, nor the emotions, nor the will, nor the consciousness, nor the intelligence. The Internal Master is the Intimus, the Inner Being, therefore, while deep in Profound Internal Meditation, say:
“NOT THIS, NOT THIS, NOT THIS. I AM HE, I AM HE, I AM HE”.
Be demanding with your Internal Master, he should teach you the most ineffable things. If your Concentration is intense, then you will penetrate into the marvels of the Cosmos and will learn things that are impossible to describe with words.
Additional of the Exercise:
1. Pray to the Intimus or Inner Being as follows: “My Father, you who are me myself, you who are my true Being, I beg you to transport yourself to the Principal Star of the Constellation of Leo, in order to bring the Principal Hierarchies of that Constellation to this humble home, so that they may awaken the faculties of my Heart and give it a special treatment”.
2. Cross the hands over the heart and Salute the Guardians of the Heart Temple
– Bow to the right, inhale and then say ‘Jakin’, then to the left, inhale and then say ‘Boaz’
3. Again pray to the Intimus or Inner Being: “My Father, take the 7 sacred steps within, towards the interior of the temple, and kneel down at the feet of the Principal Genie of Leo, begging him to send the Principal Hierarchies of Leo to heal my Heart”.
4. Then the disciple pronounces the mantram: AOM (4 times).
During this sign of Leo, vocalize the vowel “O” daily in order to awaken the Heart Chakra.
