When the first edition of the Perfect Matrimony appeared, it produced great enthusiasm among students of all schools, lodges, religions, orders, sects and esoteric societies. The result of this enthusiasm was the formation of the Gnostic Movement. This Movement began with a few understanding people, and grew into an international one. Many students of occultism studied this book; few understood it. Many, enthusiastic with the enchanting theme of the Perfect Matrimony, joined the ranks of the Gnostic Movement. Those who have not left the Gnostic Movement can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Many swore loyalty before the altar of Gnosis, but in truth almost all violated their sworn oaths. Some appeared to be true apostles, which even made it seem a sacrilege to doubt them, but in the long term we had to realize with infinite pain, that they too were traitors. Often it was sufficient for some of these false brothers to read a book or to listen to a new lecturer just arrived in the city to withdraw from the Gnostic Movement. In this battle for the New Age of Aquarius, which begins on February 4th, 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. The Perfect Matrimony and the Cosmic Christ are the synthesis of all religions, schools, orders, sects, lodges, yoga systems etc. It is truly unfortunate that so many who discovered the practical synthesis have left it, to fall into an intricate labyrinth of theories. According to tradition, in the center of the labyrinth is found the synthesis, that is to say the Labarum of the Temple. The word labyrinth is etymologically derived from the word Labarum. The latter is a double-edged axe, a symbol of the masculine-feminine sexual force. The person who really finds the synthesis commits the greatest foolishness when he leaves the Center and returns to the complicated corridors of theories that form the labyrinth of the mind. Christ and Sexual Magic represent religious synthesis. If we make a comparative study of religions, we shall discover phallicism at the base of all schools, religions and esoteric sects. Remember Peristera the nymph, the hand maiden of Venus, who was transformed by love into a dove. Remember the virtuous Venus. Remember the processions of the God Priapus in the august old Rome of the Caesars, when the priestesses of the Temple, full of ecstasy, majestically bore an enormous phallus of sacred wood. With just reason Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis says that religions have a sexual origin. Contained within the Perfect Matrimony are the Mysteries of Fire. All fire cults are totally sexual. The vestals were true priestesses of love; with them the celibate priests reached Adepthood. It is unfortunate that the modern vestals (nuns) do not know the key of Sexual Magic. It is unfortunate that the priests of today have forgotten the secret key of sex. We feel profound pain to see so many yogis who ignore the supreme key of yoga, Sexual Magic, the supreme synthesis of all systems of yoga. 2 The Perfect Matrimony Samael Aun Weor People are filled with horror when they hear about Sexual Magic, but they are not filled with horror when they give themselves over to sexual deviation and carnal passion. Here you have dear reader, the synthesis of all religions, schools and sects. Our doctrine is the Doctrine of the Synthesis. In the profound night of the centuries there were powerful civilizations and grandiose mysteries. The priestesses of love were never absent from the temples. Those who became Masters of the White Lodge practiced Sexual Magic with them. The Master must be born inside us by means of Sexual Magic. In the sunny land of Kern, in the ancient Egypt of the Pharaons, whoever revealed the Great Arcanum (Sexual Magic) was condemned to death; his head was cut off, his heart was torn out and his ashes were hurled to the four winds. In the land of the Aztecs, men and women, aspiring to be Adepts, practiced Sexual Magic for long periods of time, caressing each other, loving each other within the courtyards of the Temple. In these temple practices, whoever spilled the Glass of Hermes was beheaded for having profaned the temple. All systems of intimate self-education have Sexual Magic as their ultimate practical synthesis. Every religion, every esoteric cult, has in synthesis Sexual Magic (the Arcanum A.Z.F.). In the Mysteries of Eleusis there was naked dancing, ineffable things. Sexual Magic was the fundamental basis of those mysteries. In those days nobody thought indecent things because they profoundly venerated sex. Initiates know that the Third Logos works within sex. We have written this book with complete clarity; we have unveiled what was veiled. Now, whoever wants to realize himself in depth can do so. Here is the guide; here is the complete teaching. I have already been harassed, humiliated, calumniated and persecuted etc. for teaching the Path of the Perfect Matrimony. That does not matter. At first the treason and calumny hurt a great deal, but now I have become like steel and the treason and calumny no longer hurts. I know only too well that humanity hates the truth and mortally hates the prophets, and so, it is normal that they hate me for having written this book. There is only one thing we pursue, one goal, one objective: Christification. It is necessary that each person Christifies himself. It is necessary to incarnate the Christ. In this book we have lifted the veil of the Christic Mysteries. We have explained what the Christic principle is. We have invited all human beings to follow the Path of the Perfect Matrimony to attain Christification. We have explained that Christ is not an individual, but a universal, cosmic and
