THE THYROID GLAND

The thyroid gland is of a beautiful dark red color and has two lobes that the endocrinologists know very well.

Biologists are amazed when observing these two beautiful lobes wisely united by a wonderful isthmus. (Behold here the perfect triangle.)

The two lobes of the thyroid gland are found situated exactly at each side of the Adam’s apple.

The thyroid gland is vulnerable to two fundamental sicknesses: hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism; the first one is characterized by too much secretion, the second by too little secretion.

Hyperthyroidism can be cured by surgery, but Hypothyroidism cannot in any way be cured by surgery.

Hypothyroidism is only possible to cure when the patient is given thyroxine (a principle of secretion of the thyroid gland).

In reality, thyroxine is an iodine compound that is very important in medicine. Thyroxine is intimately related with all the metabolism of the physical body of man.

When the patient suffers hyperthyroidism, the excess thyroxine increases intensively the combustion of foods. The result is an increasing rhythm of normal respiration and heart rate.

In Hypothyroidism, the metabolism becomes slower. If a child were to suffer hypothyroidism, body and brain development would retard horribly.

When Hypothyroidism is present in an adult, they become mentally weak. Their nails and hair grow in a slow and abnormal form. Any physical strain fatigues them terribly and their skin becomes dry, flaky, and somewhat bulky.

Biological iodine disinfects the whole organism. Without the biological iodine of the thyroid, our human organism would not be able to live.

The Thyroid and Esoteric Methods of Healing

The Rosicrucian doctors assure us that Venus influences the thyroid gland and that Mars influences the parathyroid glands.

The famous Dr. Arnold Krumm-Heller, professor of medicine at the University of Berlin, assures us that between Venus and Mars there is a terrible struggle that repeats itself between the Thyroid and Parathyroid glands.

On a certain occasion, an old farmer who did not know how to read or write assured us that he had cured himself from the sickness of goiter by applying a plaque of lead to himself. The farmer told us that he made two small perforations with the purpose of tying a thread or cord. With that cord he tied the plaque around his neck, leaving the plaque over the root of the goiter.

The farmer assured us that during the three months he wore the plaque, he was cured radically. He also mentioned to us that some family members also cured themselves with the plaque of lead.

Metal therapy is practically in an embryonic state. There is no doubt of the great possibilities of metal therapy.

We knew South American peasants that utilized salt and saliva, applying it during breakfast as the only remedy for a goiter.

They mixed these two elements during the waning of the Moon and then applied it. This was their only remedy to cure such an ugly sickness.

Biology is willing to study profoundly all these therapeutic systems of the peasants, because we are convinced that many of those formulas that our grandmothers used saved the lives of many illustrious personages.

The yogis of India state that the root of the LARYNGEAL CHAKRA comes out of the thyroid gland.

The great Hindustani doctor Sivananda assures us that the laryngeal chakra has sixteen lotus petals.

Many Western scientists laugh at what they do not know. Instead, it would be better to study what we do not know.

The Thyroid, the Laryngeal Chakra and the Akash or Akasha Tattwa

The eastern sages state that there is a super-ear that is capable of registering the waves from the ‘ultra’. They call that super-ear “Clairaudience”.

The laryngeal chakra is the center of clairaudience. This demonstrates to us the intimate relationship between the thyroid gland and the mind.

If the thyroid gland and the mind are found so closely interrelated, why not admit that the Asian theses on the chakra of the thyroid and its conceptual synthesis is valid?

The sages of India state that they acquire conceptual synthesis by developing the laryngeal chakra.

Gnostic Physics accepts the idea of ‘ether’. The Hindustani state that ether is but a condensation of the Akasha Tattva.

[The Names of the Tattvas

      Akasha   is the principle of ether.
      Tejas   is the etheric principle of fire.
      Vayu   is the etheric principle of the air.
      Apas   is the etheric principle of water.
      Prithvi   is the etheric principle of the element earth.]

The great Asian yogis state that matter is the condensation of ether, and ether (at the same time) is a condensation of the Tattva Akasha, in which they find the ultimate synthesis, the primordial root of matter.

The Hindustani consider the Akasha to be the primordial sound, and that its instrument in the human being is the creative larynx.

Dr. Sivananda assures us that with the development of the THYROID CHAKRA, we can control the Akasha, and we can achieve life during the profound night of the great Pralaya [the Cosmic Night].

According to Dr. Sivananda, eminent endocrinologist and Hindustani yogi, by awakening the Chakra of the thyroid gland, we achieve Clairaudience.

If one submerges into daily Meditation with the purpose to hear a distant friend, then during the period of sleep one would be able to hear his words. With inner Meditation, one can awaken clairaudience.

The secretions of the endocrine glands are intimately related with all the order and control of the autonomous nervous system of the so-called involuntary muscles.

The glandular secretions govern, with great physiological-cosmic wisdom, all the wonderful metabolism of the physical body.

The endocrine secretions control the growth and development of all the grand cellular community and these secretions control the characteristics of sexuality.

The thyroid gland has an auric radiation which is truly wonderful.

CREATION AND THE VERB

The Kabbalistic Creation of the Universe

According to the Book of Genesis (the 1st book of the Bible), creation was accomplished by the Ruach Elohim רוח אלהים :

1:1 In the beginning God (Elohim) created the heaven and the earth.
1:2 And the earth was without form (Chaos) and void (Desolation); and darkness was upon the face of the deep (the abyss). And the Spirit of God (Ruach Elohim) moved upon the face of the waters.
1:3 And God (Elohim) said, Let there be light: and there was light.

These two words, Ruach Elohim, are important for us to understand in order to really make sense of the esoteric meaning of these Biblical Verses describing creation.

The word Ruach has many meanings, including air, breath, spirit, wind.

In the word Elohim we find the true key. Elohim is translated “God” in many versions of the Holy Scriptures. It really ought to be translated “God and Goddess”, since it is a feminine noun with a masculine plural termination affixed. This is an incontrovertible fact, in its linguistic aspect at any rate, and it is to be presumed that the various authors of the books of the Bible knew what they meant, and did not use this peculiar and unique form without good reason…

Thus, according to the Hebrew language, the Elohim are ‘Male and Female’ Divinities, that is: Male and Female united as one Divine Being.

Now, if we understand that Ruach could be ‘Spirit’ as well as ‘breath’, then we can also understand that it is through our breath that we can speak. So Ruach Elohim could also be the ‘Speech of the Male and Female Divinities’. Which is how the Elohim create using the Divine Word or Verb.

The Dawning of Creation, the Logos, the Law of 3 and Ordering the Chaos

Before the dawn of the Mahamanvantara (the Cosmic Day) nothing existed, the Gods lived in That which has no name, nor form, nor sound, nor silence, nor ears in order to perceive it.

When life dawned, when the Dawn of Creation began, the First Logos called the Third Logos and said: “Go and Fecundate your Wife so that existence may surge forth”.

So the Third Logos began to work with ‘the Seven Spirits before the throne’ and ‘the Army of the Voice’: the Masonic Rituals were performed, and the Chaotic Matter was fertilized, the Matripadma was fecundated, and the Universe came into existence.

…In India the Masculine Principle is represented by a Bull, and the Feminine Principle by the Sacred White Cow which represents the Divine Mother and has her antithesis in the Black Cow.

-Paraphrase from Ch. 24 of The Initiatic Path in the Arcana of the
Tarot and Kabbalah
by Samael Aun Weor

In accordance with the Sacred Law of Heptaparaparshinokh (the Law of 7), seven temples were established in the Chaos for the construction of this solar system.

In accordance with the Sacred Law of Triamazikamno (the Law of 3), the Elohim divided into 3 groups within every temple to sing in accordance with the Liturgy of Fire. The 3 groups organized themselves within each temple in the following manner:

1. First, a PRIEST.
2. Second, a PRIESTESS.
3. Third, a neutral group of ELOHIM.

If we take into consideration that the Elohim are androgynous, then it is clear that they had to polarize themselves (at will) into a Masculine, Feminine and Neutral form, in accordance with the Sacred Cosmic Common TRIAMAZIKAMNO (the Law of 3).

The work of fecundating or impregnating the PRAKRITI (the CHAOS) the Cosmic Mother, the GREAT WOMB, is always the labor of the very sacred THIRD FORCE (the Holy Spirit of Christianity).

Thus, the PRIEST and the PRIESTESS were before the altar, and the Androgynous Choir of the ELOHIM were on the ground floor of the temple. The Rituals of Fire were SUNG and the sexual marriage of the word fecundated the GREAT WOMB of the CHAOS and the Universe was born!

It is necessary for all of us, to profoundly reflect on this, so that we can comprehend it in-depth…

The Logos, the Law of 3 and Daath (the Hidden Sephiroth)

The Logos (Greek meaning ‘Word’ or ‘Verb’) is the Unity of the 3 Primary Forces: Kether-Chokmah-Binah or Father-Son-Holy Spirit or Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva.

It is the Law of 3 which creates: it is the ‘Verb’ or active word.

As was mentioned above, the work of fertilizing the Chaos (the Great Womb of the ‘Cosmic Mother’) is the labor of the 3rd Force, the Holy Spirit.

According to Eliphas Levi:

Science is the first of all the gifts of the Holy-Spirit…

Science is not one of the 10 Sephiroth, but it is the mirror where the rays of everything concentrate: it is named “Daath”.

-Paraphrase from Letter #116 of Eliphas Levi to his student Baron Spédalieri
available in The Kabalistic and Occult Philosophy of Eliphas Levi – Volume 1: Letters to Students

So Eliphas Levi is saying that Daath is Science.

In the Gnostic Tradition, Daath is also referred to as ‘Perfect Tantric Knowledge’, and comes about from the union of Him and Her (Male and Female), through which we can integrally Self-Realize Ourselves in all the Levels of Being.

The Holy Spirit (Shiva), the Third Logos, Binah, unfolds himself in his turn into his Wife (the SHAKTI of the Hindus).

The Holy Spirit is male, but HE unfolds into HER forming the first DIVINE COUPLE, the ineffable RUACH-ELOHIM that according to Moses “fashioned the waters at the beginning of the world…”

The Holy Spirit is the husband of the Divine Mother. He and She are united in the Cubic Stone of Yesod (that Stone is Sex).

-Paraphrase from ‘THE GNOSTIC MYSTERY OF LUCIFER’ Lecture #96 by Samael Aun Weor, available in
Ch. 12 of The Gnostic and Esoteric Mysteries of Freemasonry, Lucifer and the Great Work

By understanding the esoteric-alchemical language of the ancient scriptures, we can learn how to create in the same way. God made the human being “in his own image and likeness” (see Genesis 1:26) and through this ‘likeness’ we are also able to create. But we must learn to create properly so that we do not make a mistake and open “pandora’s box”.

In our present state, we are full of Egoism & Desires. Creating with these principles will cause more pain & suffering to enter into the universe and we will be the originators of this…

Therefore we must learn how to work with the Cubic Stone of Yesod (Sex) so that we can use this wonderful tool to better ourselves and the world around us.

Through White Tantra, through restraining the sexual impulse during the sexual act, we can “steal the fire from the devil” or extract the energy which would normally be lost during orgasm. This is the Key of Sexual Magic.

Understand that when Man and Woman unite sexually, they are a terribly divine Elohim! But when we give into desire, when we allow the sexual impulse to take over our minds, then we lose this terribly divine power, this opportunity to manifest the creative power of the Divinity in us. When we do this, we open the doors to the Abyss (the Inferior Worlds) and slowly lose the faculties & powers which allow us to connect with our inner Divinity…

The Primordial Elohim knew the Science of Tantric Knowledge (Daath), they harnessed the sexual impulse and created with the Verb!

Let us not forget that the Redeemer of Humanity is the Verb made Flesh!
