Contact Us FAQs The Birth of Jesus Gnostic Glossary News Master Jesus was a fallen Bodhisattva who upraised himself again with supreme sacrifices. Since many Site Map spiritualist devotees do not know what a fallen bodhisattva is, here we give the following explanation. Links The Innermost has two twin souls, the Divine and the Human. The bodhisattva is the Human Soul. Thus, Gnostic Radio when a Master (the Innermost) wants to reincarnate, Live365 Radio Station he sends ahead of him his Human Soul (or bodhisattva) to reincarnate. Then his Human Soul http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-gnostic-jesus/the-birth-of-jesus.html (2 of 4)15-11-2006 0:05:01 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - 1- The Birth of Jesus

Gnostic Schools enters the maternal womb and is born like any ordinary child; nonetheless, we understand that such Gnostic Store a child is a bodhisattva (Human Soul) of a Master. If Gnostic Videos these bodhisattvas want to incarnate their Innermost (Divine Master) within themselves, then they have to Thelema Press prepare themselves in order to achieve it. The Inner Master is a perfect amalgamation of the Innermost with the Divine Soul; these are already integrally fused within him. The Innermost is masculine and his Divine Soul (the Consciousness) is feminine. The outcome of this mixture is a perfect divine Hermaphrodite; this perfect hermaphrodite- spirit is the internal Master; this is the Master who sends ahead his Human Soul to reincarnate and prepare. Thus, when the bodhisattva is prepared, the Inner-Master enters into him; when this happens, we state that the Master has been born. Therefore, when we state that Jesus was born in a manger, we are esoterically affirming the spiritual birth of Jesus. The manger of Bethlehem is only a symbol. The spirit of wisdom (Ruach Chokmah-El = Christ) always reincarnates in this manger of the world in order to save the wretched, Suffering humanity from the animals of the manger: the human passions. Often, it happens that when the bodhisattva (Human Soul) of any given Master falls, then such a Master cannot reincarnate. The Master never falls; yet his bodhisattva is human and can fall (sin). So, when a bodhisattva allows himself to fall, he as a fallen bodhisattva is then sent to reincarnate again in a new body in order to pay his debts; however, if he does not successfully upraise himself again, he is then sent to reincarnate again and again, each time in increasingly difficult conditions. When he finally upraises himself again, then the Inner Master enters within him in order to fulfill a great work. Understand that Jesus is the bodhisattva of a Master, who was born in a temple. Jesus was a fallen bodhisattva, yet he upraised himself again with supreme efforts and sacrifices. Thus, the birth of Jesus relates to his spiritual birth, which is the birth of “The sons of God... which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” - John 1:12, 13 Excerpts from The Major Mysteries by Samael Aun Weor

Gnostic Videos (Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is Thelema Press written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, Angels came and ministered unto him. - Matthew 4: 10, 11)

It is stated, “It is better to be a good man than a bad Angel.” When apprehending the most complicated characters of the “I,” we perceive that it becomes subtly covetous; here it no longer covets noble titles, but it covets divine titles and wants everyone to call it Master; it covets hierarchic and Esoteric titles, and thus, one loses very long, infinite eternities entangled in the karma of the worlds. Here, it no longer covets gold or silver, but it covets Occult powers; it no longer covets honors and greatness, but it covets initiations and degrees. Here, it no longer covets lordships or earthly kingdoms, but it covets internal kingdoms, lordships and majesties within the superior worlds. Here, it enjoys governing paradises, and moreover, although this may seem incredible to you, it even become jealous of its own divine hierarchy and thus, it transforms itself into an ineffable tempter, who enjoys governing worlds and suns, and thus offers its Edens to the bodhisattvas of compassion. Here, it no longer wants to rest on cushy beds within comfortable earthly mansions, but it longs to rest in the ineffable bliss of Nirvana. Yes, the “I” of the Nirvanis does not like the narrow, hard and difficult path. It enjoys itself in Nirvanic, celestial rests, while wretched humanity suffers and cries. Notwithstanding, the Nirvanis offer unto the bodhisattvas of compassion their seductive paradises in order to impede the entrance into The Absolute. Verily, I tell you, beloved disciples, that it is better to renounce the bliss of Nirvana and to follow the path of long and bitter duty. The path of duty leads us directly to the Absolute. This is better than the bliss of Nirvana. Let us not fall into these divine, Nirvanic temptations. Know that the bodhisattva who renounces the Nirvanic temptations, the planetary kingdoms (offered to him by the tempting Gods) and renounces Nirvana (heavenly bliss) for the sake of this Suffering humanity, is confirmed and “Thrice Honored,” and after eternities he gains the right to enter into the Absolute. The Absolute is life free in its motion; it is the Supreme Reality, the Abstract Space that only expresses itself as Absolute Abstract Motion, happiness without limits, complete Omniscience. The Absolute is http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-gnostic-jesus/the-first-great-birth-of-the-christ-jesus.html (2 of 4)15-11-2006 0:05:19 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - 2 - The First Great Birth of the Christ Jesus

Uncreated Light and perfect plenitude, absolute happiness, life free in its motion, life without conditions, without limits. We have to terminate the process of the "I" in order to absolutely be. In its most subtly refined shape the “I” transforms itself into a dangerous child. The “I” of many Nirvanic Masters tempts us, saying, “Abandon the difficult path and come to Nirvana; here, we are happy.” Feeling compassion for our pain, they tempt us with Nirvanic bliss. The “I” of Angels, Archangels, Seraphim, Potencies, Virtues, Thrones and hierarchies of different splendors always has the innocent characteristic of children full of beauty. That divine “I” covets degrees, initiations, powers, divine titles, Nirvanic majesties and divine lordships. This divine “I” is the same human “I,” yet completely refined. Listen to me, you Humans and Gods; listen to me, you Angels of Nirvana! Listen to me, oh planetary Gods, happy beings, divine Nirvanis, listen to what we, the bodhisattvas of compassion say: the long and bitter path of duty that leads us directly to the Absolute is better than Nirvanic bliss. Those of us who follow that path of duty do not want to leave this path. Woe unto those who leave the difficult path; they will remain entangled within the karma of the worlds. We, the bodhisattvas of compassion who love humanity immensely, state: as long as there is a single tear in any human eye, as long as there is even one suffering heart, we refuse to accept the happiness of Nirvana. Therefore, instead of coveting degrees, powers, initiations and divine lordships, we must exert the effort of becoming useful beings to this suffering humanity. We must exert great efforts in the law of the great service. We must seek the fertile work in the Great Work of the Father. We must seek the means to become more and more useful to this wretched, suffering humanity. This is better than coveting internal titles, initiations, esoteric degrees and planetary kingdoms. The Personality, the individuality and the “I” are the hard chains that bind us to the hard rock of suffering and bitterness. Gods and humans are submitted to the suffering of conditioned life. Notwithstanding, in the Absolute we go beyond karma and the gods, beyond the law. The Mind and the individual Consciousness are only good for mortifying our lives. In the Absolute we do not have an individual mind or individual consciousness; there, we are the unconditioned, free and absolutely happy Being. The Absolute is life free in its movement, without conditions, limitless, without the mortifying Fear of the law, life beyond spirit and matter, beyond karma and suffering, beyond thought, Word and action, beyond silence and Sound, beyond forms. The Absolute is abstract, absolute space, abstract absolute movement, absolute freedom, without conditions, without restrictions, absolute omniscience and absolute happiness. We have to cease the process of the "I" in order to enter into the Absolute. The human "I" must enter into the house of the dead, it must go to the common grave of the Astral rubbish. The "I" must be disintegrated in the Abyss in order for the Being, full of majesty and power, to be born. The “I” of many Masters enjoys its powers and lordships; it boasts of himself being divine and garbs himself with ineffable majesty and beauty. The ‘I’ of many Masters divests himself like a prostitute in order to show its forms and powers to others; it enjoys boasting about his visions so that others will admire it and venerate it. It speaks about his initiations and tells its secrets, yes, it is like the miserly person who lives counting his money, or like the scoundrel who goes around full of pride, constantly boasting about his high lineage and great wealth. http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-gnostic-jesus/the-first-great-birth-of-the-christ-jesus.html (3 of 4)15-11-2006 0:05:19 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - 2 - The First Great Birth of the Christ Jesus

Listen to me, you humans and Gods! Initiations are the awakenings of the consciousness, Intimate matters of the consciousness. So, let us learn how to be silent, to be humble and modest. Authentic Evolution relates to the consciousness and not to the “I.” The “I” does not evolve; it only complicates itself and that is all. Mineral consciousness evolves when it awakens as plant consciousness. Each mineral Atom is the physical body of an elemental creature filled with beauty. These mineral Elementals have their language, their consciousness. They gather in tribes or families; they resemble innocent children. The sublime kingdom of the plants is above the mineral kingdom. Plant consciousness also evolves until awakening as animal consciousness. Each plant is the body of an elemental child that aspires to enter into the animal kingdom. Animal consciousness also evolves until awakening as human consciousness. Much later, the human awakens as an Angel, Archangel, etc. Yet, the human “I” is merely a larva; it is the same larva of the threshold that becomes more and more complicated; the human “I” is the internal beast that controls the four bodies (physical, ethereal, astral and mental bodies); upon this is how this monster called “personality” is constituted. The human “I” of many Masters no longer wants political positions, but longs for spiritual positions; it enjoys being a leader and fights for high hierarchical positions in schools, lodges and spiritual movements. Therefore, we have to conclude the process of our “I” and personality in order to have the right of Being. We have to terminate individuality in order to have the right to receive the Crown of Justice. Only impersonal life and the Being can give us the legitimate happiness of the great life free in its movement.

credit card or mail? Click here . A festival was celebrated in the temple; a precious lamp burns on the altar.

A tri-colored banner victoriously fluttered in the sacred precinct. The blue of the Father, the yellow of the Son, and the red of the Holy Spirit flashed on that banner. The Three King Magi (Malachim) lingered within the Contact Us Chamber of Reflection; they came to the temple guided by the Mystical FAQs Sun, the star of Bethlehem. Thus, Jesus, the sublime Bodhisattva, sat in Gnostic Glossary front of the altar, dressed in a white linen garment, and a white cloak covered his head. The sky was overcast with heavy clouds and copious News showers. This is how it is written by the prophet, Micah 5:2: “But thou, Site Map Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel.” Lo and behold, here is that shepherd attending his spiritual birth; this is Links the Nativity of the heart; suddenly, Jesus, the good shepherd rose and went towards a sacred precinct of the temple; then, a remarkable Gnostic Radio lightning bolt, a terribly divine lightning, sparkled in the darkness; it was Live365 Radio Station the Inner Master who in those remarkable moments entered within his Gnostic Schools bodhisattva. The bodhisattva Jesus was prepared since he had already lifted up his first serpent upon the pole. Gnostic Store ("And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Gnostic Videos Son of man be lifted up." - John 3: 14). Thelema Press

The Three King Magi (the Malachim) came to worship the Man-Child, whose name is Jesus Christ; this is the birth of a Master, this is the Nativity of the heart of, “The sons of God... which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” - John 1:12, 13 The Three King Magi (the Malachim) worshipped Jesus in the temple; Jesus then uttered these sublime words. “Oh, Jehovah, God of mine, how

remarkable was that thunderbolt that fell from heaven!” This happened when Jesus went up into a mysterious precinct of the temple; such a precious precinct was surrounded by beautiful balustrades. There, the master removed his cloak and sat on a chair; it was in those moments when that divine thunderbolt fell from heaven, and his Inner Being entered within him. John 3:6: “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” When Jesus was born in spirit and in truth, a chorus of Angels chanted filled with happiness, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth Peace, good will toward men.” (Luke 2:14) and the three King Magi (the Malachim) fell down, and worshipped the good shepherd. Jesus was a man of medium stature and with fair skin, lightly tanned by the rays of the sun. Jesus had black hair and a beard of the same color. Jesus had black and penetrating eyes like two ineffable nights; he had a wide forehead and straight nose (the Word Nazarene comes from Nazar, meaning "a man with a straight nose") and fine, strong lips. The mystical birth of Jesus is the First Initiation of Major Mysteries. Excerpts from The Major Mysteries by Samael Aun Weor

Gnostic Radio Live365 Radio Station Gnostic Schools Excerpts from The Major Mysteries by Samael Aun Weor Gnostic Store Gnostic Videos “Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea… for thus it is written by the prophets” (Matthew 2:1,5) the college of initiates Thelema Press gathered in a great hall at the palace of Herod the king with the purpose of communicating unto the monarch the spiritual birth of the Savior of the world. Herod was a man of medium stature, a thin and svelte body with a rosy and youthful face; he wore a garment fashioned accordingly to that epoch, and covered his head with a brilliant warrior’s helmet. Thus, Herod, seated at his working desk, listened to the report from the initiates of the temple, yet he did not believe it; he did not acknowledge Jesus as the promised Messiah and with a lot of arguments, he indignantly rejected the report from the initiates. Jesus said unto Herod, “You are a Justinian; you are just; what happens is that you have never liked me.” Then, Herod exceedingly wroth, spoke to the council and said: “Do not eat the Moon.” Herod meant with this phrase that they must not abandon their lunar Cult. Since all racial religions are lunar, the Jewish religion is lunar. Herod was totally conservative and as such, he defended the ancient traditional Jewish religion.

http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-gnostic-jesus/4---the-sacred-family-flee-to-egypt.html (2 of 4)15-11-2006 0:05:52 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - 4 - The Sacred Family Flees to Egypt

Yes, Herod defended the ancient sacerdotal caste of the people of Judah. This is how Herod rejected the Savior of the world. Thus, the council at the palace of Herod was transcendental, since the new period of Solar, Christic development in the world was announced in this initiatic council. Nevertheless, since Herod was strikingly conservative, he seized onto the lunar past and onto racial prejudices, and this is how he did not acknowledge Jesus as the Savior of the world. Therefore, this council of initiates became a failure. Herod then sought after the initiates in order to destroy them; he sent forth his soldiers to slay all the children that were in Bethlehem, since initiates are esoterically called “children”; therefore, the children are the initiates who Herod ordered to be slaughtered. This is how the soldiers went around the streets of Bethlehem and in all the coasts thereof, killing the initiates. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah 31:15 saying, “Thus saith Jehovah; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rachel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.” Nevertheless, Jesus managed to save himself by fleeing into the land of Egypt; this happened in winter and it rained a great deal. Thus, Jesus had to heroically prevail over the storms of the time. When this happened, Joseph and Mary were already old; they greatly suffered because of their son Jesus. The Sacred Family departed into the land of Egypt by land and water.

Gnostic Radio

Live365 Radio Station Gnostic Schools Excerpts from The Major Mysteries by Samael Aun Weor Gnostic Store Jesus was initiated as a student into the mysteries inside a pyramid in the Gnostic Videos land of Egypt. A Vestal dressed in a white robe gave him the first papyri to study. Thelema Press The trees of Eden are two: The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and the Tree of Life. The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil is sex. The Tree of Life is the Being. Every authentic cultural doctrine has to carefully study these two trees, because to study one tree while ignoring the other gives only an incomplete and useless knowledge. Of what use is it to study the Being if we do not know sex? Of what use is it to study sex if we do not know the Being? Given that, both trees are from Eden and they even share their roots. These trees are the two great basal pillars of the White Lodge: Wisdom and Love. Wisdom is the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and Love is the Tree of Life. The doctrine of these two trees was deeply studied in Egypt. The fatal shadow of the Tree of Life is the “I.” The fatal shadow of the Tree of Knowledge is Fornication. People mistake the shadows for reality. Whosoever terminates with the process of the “I” attains the Self- realization of the Being within himself. Whosoever terminates with fornication is transformed into a Christ. Jesus was submitted to remarkable purifications within the temple; a Master instructed him daily. On a certain day, when descending a staircase, he was tempted by a woman; yet Jesus overcame temptation, thus he was victoriously approved. The Master was tested many times; the fight against his “I” was remarkable. The Bodhisattva had fallen in previous reincarnations; this is why Jesus had to lift up his five fallen serpents. The sixth and the seventh serpents belong to the Master (Atman-Buddhi); the Master never falls. The bodhisattva is the one who falls; the bodhisattva is the Will-Soul (Human Soul); the Human Soul is dressed with the four Bodies of Sin, which are, the Physical, Ethereal, Astral and Mental Bodies. Jesus had the serpent of each of these four bodies of sin fallen, thus Jesus and to lift them up. The fifth serpent that belongs to the Human Soul was also fallen, so Jesus had to lift up this serpent as well. http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-gnostic-jesus/5---jesus-in-egypt.html (2 of 4)15-11-2006 0:06:11 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - 5 - Jesus in Egypt

Jesus reincarnated thousands of times on our Earth and he had fallen. So, the Son of God was full of glory, yet the Son of Man was fallen, but he upraised himself again. The Son of God is the Inner Christ, which enlightens every man that comes into the world. Jesus studied in the college of initiates. During those times, a tenebrous personage of the shadows waged war against the initiates of Egypt, nevertheless those initiates remained firm in the Light. An instructor taught Jesus the great mysteries of sex. There existed a royal nuptial chamber within the pyramid, and within that chamber Jesus practiced sexual Magic with his wife. His priestess-wife was a white woman with blonde hair and a beautiful soul; she was a very high initiate of the temple. Yes, Jesus Christ means Man and God; and as a man he was complete since he had his wife. During the trance of sexual magic Jesus vocalized IN-RI, EN-RE, ON-RO, UN-RU, AN-RA; he prolonged the Sound of each letter of these sacred syllables in the following order: IIIIIIINNNNN… RRRRIIIIIIII EEEEENNNN… RRRREEEE OOOONNNN… RRRROOOO UUUUNNNN… RRRRUUUU AAAANNNN… RRRRAAAAA So, Master Jesus vocalized these syllables by prolonging the sound of each of the letters of each syllable. The Mantra INRI awakens the sixth sense located between the eyebrows; this is how initiates can read other peoples’ thoughts and see all the things from the Internal Worlds. The mantra ENRE awakens the magic ear; this is how humans can hear over distances of thousands of miles and can hear the voices of the internal worlds. The mantra ONRO has the power to awaken intuition located in the heart. Intuition is the seventh sense that resides in the heart and in the pineal gland. The voice of the silence is in the heart and Polyvoyance or Intuitive Sight is in the pineal gland. The intuitive sees everything and knows everything; he is omniscient and powerful. The mantra UNRU awakens in us the sense of telepathy; this is how we can perceive the thoughts of people at a distance. It is located above the navel in the solar plexus. The mantra ANRA awakens in us the pulmonary Chakra, with which we can remember our past reincarnations. http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-gnostic-jesus/5---jesus-in-egypt.html (3 of 4)15-11-2006 0:06:11 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - 5 - Jesus in Egypt

In the Astral Body these senses look like lotus flowers, and this is how during sexual magic Jesus made these lotus flowers to spin. Man and woman become filled with electricity and cosmic fire during the moments when they are sexually united. In these precise moments they can awaken the Kundalini and can make the chakras, discs, or magnetic wheels of their Astral Body to spin. We can awaken all the Powers of the Astral Body with the sexual force. We can become Angels with the sexual force. Master Jesus also vocalized the great mantra AUM. Esoterically, this mantra is vocalized AOM. The mouth is broadly opened with the A; it is rounded with the O and closed with the M. The A engenders everything, the O gestates everything, and everything is born with the M. The one who wants to be born has to enter into the womb of a woman in order to have the right to be born. Each letter of the mantra AOM has to be prolonged and sustained. The mantra IAO was also vocalized by Master Jesus during the trance of sexual magic; he knew how to withdraw in time from the sexual act in order to avoid seminal ejaculation; this is how Jesus awoke all his Occult powers. The mantra IAO is vocalized by breathing separately and prolonging the pronunciation of each of its three vowels; do not pronounce its three letters in one breath. IAO has the power of awakening the sacred serpent. Jesus knew how to love his wife and this is how he awakened the sacred fire of the Holy Spirit in order to traverse the 33 holy Chambers of the temple. God shines upon the perfect couple. There is nothing more beautiful than the woman. The delights of love convert us into Gods. When the woman knows how to love, she is transformed into a Goddess. When the man knows how to adore, he is transformed into a God. However, carnal passion stains the aura with a dirty, bloody color; yet when we dominate passion, such a color is transmuted into an incarnadine rosy color. It is better to love than to theorize; it is much better to adore, love and kiss than to read complicated theories. However, kill your “Satan.” Goethe said, “Every theory is gray, and only the tree of the golden fruits of life is green.”

Site Map A certain subterranean passage that had 33 Chambers existed in Egypt. Each one of these 33 chambers of the temple correspondingly relates to each one of our 33 spinal vertebrae; the Links vertebrae are called “canyons” within the Internal Worlds. The fire of the Holy Spirit serpentinely rises through the spinal medullar canal from canyon to canyon, yet with a single Gnostic Radio ejaculation of Semen this serpentine fire descends one or more canyons; it returns downwardly according with the magnitude of the fault. Thereafter, it is extremely difficult to Live365 Radio Station re-conquer the lost canyons. Gnostic Schools This is why our Lord the Christ told us: “Disciples must not allow themselves to fall, because Gnostic Store those who allow themselves to fall later have to struggle very much in order to recover what Gnostic Videos they have lost.” Sexual Magic can only be practiced between husband and wife in already constituted homes. Thelema Press The man who practices sexual magic with different women and the woman who practices sexual magic with different men commit Adultery and no adulterer achieves anything. Yes, there are men and women who commit adultery by practicing sexual magic with many; as a pretext, they allege that they are helping others, yet they utilize these teachings in order to justify adultery and this is a horrible crime against the Holy Spirit. The adulterer sinks into outer darkness where only crying and the gnashing of teeth are heard. Sexual magic can only be practiced in homes that are properly constituted and organized. Woe to those who utilize sexual magic in order to justify adultery. Jesus was born mystically in Bethlehem, because he lifted up his first serpent (the fire of the Holy Spirit in his physical body). Now, in Egypt, he began his work with the second serpent (the fire of the Holy Spirit in his ethereal body). Thus, thanks to his priestess-wife, he worked with the second serpent, and as his serpentine fire ascended through the spinal medullar canal of his ethereal body, the Master Jesus passed from chamber to chamber through the subterranean passage. Each vertebra has its special conditions, namely virtues and tests, temptations and dangers. Thus, in each vertebra we are attacked by the tenebrous ones. So, Jesus studied remarkable mysteries and received secret Powers in every one of the 33 chambers of the temple. When the serpent of the ethereal body reached the area between the eyebrows of Jesus of Nazareth, then the Sun of the Father flashed within the rainy night and the star of the Initiation with one eye in the middle suspended itself upon his head. The church of Philadelphia between his eyebrows became as resplendent as the sun shining in all its beauty. Then, Jesus dressed himself with a white linen garment and the initiates placed a cloak of immaculate whiteness over his head. An ineffable cosmic festivity made the glory of the temple resplendently shine and the starry heavens of the spirit were filled with the cosmic happiness of delightful symphonies. This is how the Bodhisattva Jesus finished the Recapitulation of the Second Initiation of Major Mysteries. This is how Jesus received his Second Birth. Thus, his second serpent completely opened the seven churches in his ethereal body making this marvelous vehicle shine resplendently with glory. Yes, Jesus accomplished all of this with love and the woman; blessed be the woman, blessed be the man who knows how to love with wisdom. “All of you will be as Gods if you leave Egypt and pass over the Red Sea.” A Human Being enters Eden and becomes an inhabitant of Eden (the Promised Land) when the ethereal body is Christified. The Christified ethereal body is the wedding garment of the soul, the golden body. The second serpent opens for us the powers of the ethereal body, and grants us the power to travel in the ethereal body. The woman achieves all of this by suppressing the sexual impulse and thus avoiding the spilling of the semen. Likewise, the man achieves all of this by knowing how to withdraw on

time from the sexual act and thus avoiding seminal ejaculation. This is how the Kundalini develops, evolves and progresses within the aura of the Solar Logos. The ethereal body of Jesus was crucified and it received its five stigmata. We have to live the entire drama of Calvary in each great initiation. When the seven churches of the ethereal body of Jesus shone resplendently with glory, the ethereal body of Jesus became a Christ.

Excerpts from The Major Mysteries by Samael Aun Weor Master Jesus began his work with the third serpent of fire after having finished his work with the second serpent; the third serpent belongs to the Astral Body. The labor with each one of these serpents is very long and difficult. The Kundalini rises slowly through the central canal of the spinal medulla; this is a patient and laborious work. The conditions and moral requirements of sanctification that each one of the 33 vertebrae demands are plentiful; this is the terror of Love and Law. Consequently, the ascension of each serpent means entire years of work and sanctification; thus, to gain access into a single vertebra is a heroic realization. The third serpent opens the chakras of the Astral Body. The Astral Body of Master Jesus was totally transfigured when this serpent of fire ascended and sequentially opened the seven churches of the central canal of the spinal medulla of his Astral Body. This third serpent descends from between the eyebrows into the heart by following a secret path that ends in the third holy center of the heart; the heart has seven centers. Likewise, seven remarkable Chambers exist in this secret path that is located in between the eyebrows and the heart. All of this is the terror of Love and Law. The initiate is endowed with two small, igneous wings when the third serpent opens the Church of Thyatira in his Astral Body; these igneous wings grant us the power to instantaneously penetrate into any plane of cosmic Consciousness. The Spirits of Movement teach us how to maneuver the Astral Body and also about the Laws of Cosmic Movement.

http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-gnostic-jesus/the-third-serpent.html (2 of 5)15-11-2006 0:07:01 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - 7 - Jesus' Third Serpent

When the third serpent reached the heart of Master Jesus, he then entered into a great luminous room of the temple, and while moving around the room, his Astral Body filled with divinity sparkled, thus filled with glory, filled with majesty and power, Master Jesus shone most exceedingly. Thereafter Master Jesus passed, within his Astral Body, through the initiatic process of death, resurrection and ascension. By means of fire, we extract from the Astral Body a psychic extract which is the conscious soul (the cognizant or Sephirothic values of the Astral Body), which resembles a beautiful child. For three days this beautiful child remains within his holy sepulcher. On the third day this child resurrects and fuses with the Innermost or Inner Being. After this Esoteric resurrection, Jesus descended into the atomic infernos of nature, since we have to recapitulate within the Abyss all the evils of our past reincarnations; this is why Master Jesus remained in the abyss for forty days. Before the ascension, the door of the abyss that is located in the lower abdomen opens up and we are examined by fire; here we are educated about the internal zodiac. Our Evolution began in the constellation of Leo and ends in Leo. During these forty days, the Masters sing in a sacred language within a closed temple; they do this in order to help us to become detached from the abyss. The power of the word is terribly divine. This is how, in the abyss, we bid our last farewell to the darkness. During these forty days, the initiate abstains from the practice of sexual Magic, and only after those forty days can he/she resume the performance of their rites of sexual magic. All human beings sank into the abyss when we exited Eden; however we do not realize that we dwell within the abyss until we are ready to come http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-gnostic-jesus/the-third-serpent.html (3 of 5)15-11-2006 0:07:01 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - 7 - Jesus' Third Serpent

out from within it. So, all religious and spiritualist organizations, namely Theosophism, Spiritualism, Aquarianism, etc. are from the abyss; it is distressing to state this, yet it is the truth. The ascension of Master Jesus happened when the forty days ended; then Jesus ascended unto the Father and received the Holy Spirit. In the temple, four angels blow their trumpets, announcing the ascension of the initiate. The white dove of the Holy Spirit with its majestic head of an elder awaits us; we then enter into the temple full of glory and happiness. The Holy Spirit fills us with Powers, wisdom and majesty. When Jesus received the Third Initiation of Major Mysteries, he entered the temple, whose altar was adorned with all types of flowers; the Masters attended dressed with their white linen garments and covered their heads with long cloaks of immaculate whiteness whose end touched their feet. The cosmic music resounded majestically within the sacred environment of the temple. Indeed, this initiatic ceremony was majestic. So, this is how Jesus finished the Recapitulation of the Third Great Initiation of Major Mysteries. In very ancient ages and within worlds of yore that disappeared eternities ago, Jesus Christ passed through Nine Great Initiations of Major Mysteries. Nevertheless, he had to recapitulate all of them. The Bodhisattva had fallen in past reincarnations, thus he had to re-conquer what he lost. These great initiations are granted within the Internal Worlds. Lo and behold, oh brethren, how many things are accomplished with love! Women, behold the ineffable things of love! Jesus attained his third great mystical birth thanks to the priestess of the temple. The Seven Words are received in the third initiation. Sexual magic is the great Arcanum, the Arcanum of love. Therefore, do not let retarded people confuse you, nor fearmongers to hinder your path. Understand that you will not attain anything by reading theories from those theoretical, fearful spiritualists who crowd all spiritualist schools. Do not let yourself be convinced by them; flee from them, they are dangerous. Practice sexual magic and you will become as Gods. This is the doctrine of the Aquarian Age. This is Gnosticism; this is the Fifth Truth; this is the doctrine that Jesus taught in secrecy to his seventy disciples. The secret of all secrets is hidden within the Shema Hamphoraseh stone. This is the cubic stone of Yesod. This is the Philosophical Stone; this stone is sex; this is sexual magic, love; blessed be love. The Bible tells us in Genesis 28:16,18: “And Jacob awaked out of his sleep and he said, surely Iod-Havah is in this place; and I knew it not. And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.” Indeed, it was from that moment that Jacob began to practice sexual magic. Later on, he incarnated his Inner Master, his Real Being. Jacob is the bodhisattva of the Angel Israel. Jesus became almighty with the Shema Hamphoraseh stone.

Excerpts from The Major Mysteries by Samael Aun Weor

When Master Jesus awakened his fourth serpent, he knocked three times on a door and entered into a luminous room filled with delightful flowers and ineffable music. Four Masters distributed in two groups received him; those Masters were resplendent with majesty and each one of them had the sword of cosmic Justice in his right hand. They rested the hilt of the swords over their hearts, thus the bare swords filled with a terrible power pointed up to the loft. Master Jesus placed himself between two of the Masters, while ineffable music resounded in the environment. The serpent of the Mental Body of Jesus awoke by intense practice of

http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-gnostic-jesus/8---jesus-fourth-serpent.html (2 of 6)15-11-2006 0:07:29 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - 8 - Jesus' Fourth Serpent

sexual Magic with the beautiful priestess of the temple; yes, without the woman, nothing is attained, likewise a woman without a man does not achieve anything. By means of sexual magic, everything is attained; nothing can replace the joy of love. Thereafter, the Master entered a classroom; all the disciples were seated on their writing desks; here, all of them were studying the wisdom of the cosmic Mind. Thus, Jesus, filled with humility joined the classroom as one more student. The Mental Body is the donkey upon which we must ride in order to victoriously enter into the heavenly Jerusalem (the superior worlds); there is where we are greeted with branches of palm trees, praises and feasts. The Mental Body is a material, dense body. The four Bodies of Sin (the physical, ethereal, Astral and mental bodies) are material bodies. The mind is the most stubborn animal that we have within; we have to crucify that mind over the sacrificial altar. The mind is the den of Desire and wickedness. If we fling a stone into a lake, we see then waves surfacing from the center of the impact to the periphery; those waves are the reactions of the water against the impact of the stone; our mind is similar. Incessantly, the mind is reacting to the impacts which come from the exterior world. If we are insulted, we want to respond with a blow; if we are sexually tempted, we react filled with carnal passion; if we are flattered, we display smiles; yet, if we are insulted, we reply with wickedness. The mind is like the donkey that walks faster if beaten, yet if it is not beaten, it walks even slower. Krishnamurti addresses the mind a lot, nonetheless, his mind is not yet Christified, since the 33 spinal Chambers of his Mental Body are filled with darkness because his fourth serpent is not yet lifted up; he needs sexual magic. Yes, all desires, egotisms, crimes and perversities dwell within the mind of man; however, only the fire can burn the scoriae of the mind. Reasoning is a crime against His Majesty the Innermost; many times the Innermost, the Being, gives us an order, yet our mind rebels against him with its reasoning. The Innermost speaks in the form of hunches or unprompted thoughts, yet our mind rebels by means of reasoning and comparison. Reasoning is based on opinions, on the struggle of antithetical concepts, on the process of conceptual selection, etc. A mind divided by the struggle of reasoning is a useless instrument for the Being, the Innermost. The voice of the heart is the voice of the Innermost; intuition is the voice of the Innermost. Action without reasoning is upright action; intuitive action is a just, right and perfect action. Humanity in Aquarius will become intuitive. Intellectual Culture is purely a function of the animal “I.” Intellectuals are puff up with pride, arrogance and sexual passion. The Intellect is based on reasoning and reasoning is Luciferian and demonic. There are people who believe that they can know God by means of reasoning. We, Gnostics state that only God knows himself. It is better to practice internal Meditation instead of wasting time reasoning. By means of internal meditation we can converse with God, the Innermost, the Being, the Most High. Only in this manner we can learn from the Inner Master; only in this manner we can study divine wisdom at the feet of the Master. The intellect nourishes itself by means of external perceptions; such a source of information is incomplete, since the external senses are the sources of that information and the external senses are totally deficient. Microbes cannot be studied with a deficient microscope and the stars cannot be studied with a deficient telescope. Therefore, we have to http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-gnostic-jesus/8---jesus-fourth-serpent.html (3 of 6)15-11-2006 0:07:29 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - 8 - Jesus' Fourth Serpent

awaken all the twelve senses of the Consciousness. Thought must flow silently and integrally without the battle of the antithesis that divides the mind between opposed concepts; a fragmented mind is a useless instrument for the Innermost. We have to terminate with our reasoning and awaken our intuition; yes, it is only in this manner that we can learn the true wisdom of God; it is only in this manner that the Innermost hand over the reins of the mind. The true positive function of the mind is art, beauty, love, music: the mystical art of loving, namely, divine architecture, painting, singing, culture, techniques placed at the service of humans, but without selfishness, without wickedness, without hatred, etc. The intellect is the negative function of the mind; it is demonic. The fourth serpent transmutes the mind-matter into Mind-Christ. This serpent rises through the spinal medulla of the Mental Body. Jesus entered into each one of the 33 chambers of the Mental World as his fourth serpent ascended from vertebra to vertebra. This is how he transmuted his mind-matter into Mind-Christ. Understand that it is impossible to Christify the mind without the fire of the Holy Spirit, and this fire can only be awakened by means of sexual magic and love. The human mind is controlled by the Guardian of the Threshold of the Mental Body; this demonic creature is the mental “I” that we have to eject and expel from the Mental Body in the ordeal of the Guardian of the Threshold of the mind. This guardian is Satan in the mind; this is the intellectual, arrogant and intensely fornicating, reasoning Demon of the mind. Now we understand why the human mind is indeed perverse. The most dangerous demons have a sanctimonious mind and boast of being saints. Jesus became triumphant in all the Ordeals as he overcame the Satan of the mind. Jesus illuminated his 33 spinal chambers with the fire of the Holy Spirit, and studied the remarkable divine wisdom in each one of them. He learned that the most dangerous black magicians of the cosmos dwell in the mental plane. The black magicians in the mental plane have sublime appearances; they speak ineffable and beautiful things and thereafter they subtly advice the ejaculation of the Semen; this is how they cause the great initiates to fall. All the weaknesses of this humanity are in the mental world. We must not divide our mind into superior and inferior parts. As the physical body is an organism, likewise, the Mental Body is another organism; if our Innermost hands over the reins of it, we can become as Gods; yet, if Satan handles the reins of the mind, we become demons.

Therefore,

we must dominate the mind with the whip of willpower. We must ride on the donkey in order to enter into the Heavenly Jerusalem. It is only in this manner that we become worthy of receiving the Body of Liberation elaborated with the purest atoms. The Body of Liberation has a Christic appearance; it exudes the aroma of perfection. This body replaces the physical body; it is made of flesh, but it is not the offspring flesh of Adam. This is the body of paradisiacal beings; this body is not submitted to illnesses or death. When the fourth serpent of Jesus reached the fourth center of the heart, there was a feast in the temple. Then all the Masters dressed in their white garments and cloaks occupied their seats and granted unto Jesus the title of Buddha. Dressed in a white garment and cloak, Jesus was within a precious sanctuary waiting for his entrance into the temple. Thus, this is how, thanks to love and sexual magic, Jesus was able to liberate himself from the four bodies of sin; yes, thanks to sexual magic he was transformed into a Dragon of the Four Truths, a Buddha. The fourth serpent totally opened the seven churches of Jesus in the world of the cosmic mind, and the cosmic feast of this event was magnificent; a precious lamp burned over the pyramid. Then, a great march with flags of victory was celebrated on the streets of the city, and the Egyptian masses, aroused with mystical enthusiasm, hailed the Master. The guards of the city made a street of honor for the parade and they had to struggle a lot in order to maintain order in all the movements and stops of the enthusiastic multitudes. In this day and age, when our disciples receive the degree of Buddha, the Blessed Goddess, Mother of the world, presents them in the temple of the mind and says, “Lo and behold, my most beloved child, behold, here is a new Buddha”; then, she places upon her child the diadem of Shiva and the cloak of the Buddhas. Then, Sanat Kumara exclaims, “You have http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-gnostic-jesus/8---jesus-fourth-serpent.html (5 of 6)15-11-2006 0:07:29 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - 8 - Jesus' Fourth Serpent

become liberated from the four bodies of sin and you have penetrated into the world of the Gods; you are a Buddha. When a human becomes liberated from the four bodies of sin, he becomes a Buddha, You are a Buddha”; thereafter, Sanat Kumara delivers unto the initiate the Globe of the Imperator; this is a globe with a cross on top. The feast is then solemn within the superior worlds. Nevertheless, in Egypt, these initiatic ceremonies were performed in the physical plane; then, the initiatic colleges had not yet been closed. So then, the feast of Jesus, the new Buddha, was solemn and the holy land of ancient pharaohs shook with glory; this solemn initiatic march was an apotheosis. Carrying a great cross over his shoulders, Jesus led the parade. Indeed, the cross belongs to the great mysteries. Jesus represented this drama within the temples. Before Jesus Christ, the entire drama of the Lord’s Passion was represented inside the temples of mysteries. However, later, Jesus painfully lived this drama in the beloved city of the prophets. The first teacher of Jesus was Elchanam; the second was the Rabbi Jehosuah Ben Perachiah; these were his preceptors in Palestine. However, when Jesus victoriously carried his cross in Egypt, he had already exceeded his previous instructors; since Jesus had become a Buddha. A psychic extract is removed from the Mental Body; this psychic extract is then fused with the Innermost; this is performed within the temple. This is how Jesus victoriously finished his Fourth Initiation of Major Mysteries. The sexual fire remarkably burns within the temple of the mind.

"Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt. "And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt? "And he said, certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mount (sixth dimension). "And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, what is his name? What shall I say unto them? "And God said unto Moses, Eheieh Asher Eheieh (I Am He who IS): and he said, Thus shall thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM (HE IS) hath sent me unto you." - Exodus 3: 10-14

Excerpts from The Major Mysteries by Samael Aun Weor

It was in winter when Master Jesus went into the wilderness. The weather was cold in Egypt, and there it was: an ancient, solitary, worn and eroded Egyptian temple of mysteries. Master Jesus entered the atrium and while kneeling with all humility before the great hierophants, he requested to be admitted into the remarkable mysteries of the fifth serpent of burning fire. The great Egyptian sages granted him admission; then Master Jesus left the room and entered a small sanctuary of the solitary temple. In winter, the Masters customarily wrapped themselves with blue and white religious shawls in order to be protected from the cold weather. Thus, this is how Master Jesus entered into the mysteries of the fifth http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-gnostic-jesus/9---jesus-fifth-serpent.html (2 of 5)15-11-2006 0:07:58 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - 9 - Jesus' Fifth Serpent

serpent, which ascends through the central canal of the spinal medulla of the Will-Soul (Editor: the Human Soul, Tiphereth). We have already stated that the Innermost has two souls, namely, the Will- Soul and the Cognizance-Soul (Divine Soul, Geburah). The sixth serpent relates to the Cognizance-Soul; the seventh pertains to the Innermost itself. There are Seven Serpents; two groups of three with the sublime coronation of the seventh tongue of fire which unites us with the One, with the Law, with the Father. Therefore, the Innermost with his two twin souls is a pure and ineffable spirit (Monad). Thus, the four material bodies are the temple of the eternal triune Spirit. This is why Paul of Tarsus wrote in 1 Corinthians 3:16: “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” The Spirit of God is the Innermost in us. The Testament of Learning states: "Before the false dawn came over this earth, those who survived the hurricane and the storm gave praise to the Innermost, and to them appeared the heralds of the dawn.” The human Personality is the chariot; the Mind is the animal that hauls the chariot; the Innermost is the coachman; the reins are the Consciousness and the whip is willpower. Woe unto the coachman who does not know how to hand over the reins! Woe unto the coachman who does not know how to handle the whip, because he will keep his whip and reins hold in hands and will not be able to use them! The beast without control will drag the chariot into the Abyss; and the Innermost will lose his chariot. In

this day and age, there are many perverse people who are severed from their Innermost; these are crowds who follow a terribly tenebrous Devolution in the abyss. All these devolving people have horns on their http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-gnostic-jesus/9---jesus-fifth-serpent.html (3 of 5)15-11-2006 0:07:58 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - 9 - Jesus' Fifth Serpent

foreheads; some of them are demons endowed with sparkling intellects, who boast of being prophets and avatars; thus, shrouded within fine manners and exquisite culture, they often establish spiritualist schools. Yes, within the privileged ranks of aristocracy exist thousands of learned, educated and intellectual people, who even follow mystical traditions, yet they are already totally severed from their Innermost (Internal Angel); these are souls who have horns on their foreheads, they are tenebrous demons. These types of souls only possess the four Bodies of Sin (physical, ethereal, Astral and mental bodies). Unfortunately, their triune immortal Spirit is no longer linked within them. They live in the physical world, yet internally they dwell within the abyss. The mind has to be lashed with the whip of willpower; it is necessary to learn how to use the whip. The Will-Soul has to be Christified by means of the transmutation of the human will into Christ-Will; these are the mysteries of the fifth serpent. Christ-Will only knows how to do the will of the Father on earth as it is in heaven. All the majesty of Christ-Will is portrayed in the nine symphonies of Beethoven; yes, Christ-Will is ineffable music that echoes the majesty of the Word. Nevertheless, humans place their will at the service of the beast and therefore they fail. This is why the divine Master Jesus said in Luke 22:42: “Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.” Subsequently, thanks to his Priestess-Wife, the divine Master Jesus managed to lift his fifth serpent upon a pole. When the initiate awakens his fifth serpent, he then enters into the temple, whose altar is then adorned with the sacred shawl of Veronica. The divine face with the crown of thorns stained on the shawl is the living symbol of Christ-Will; this symbolizes total sacrifice on behalf of the wretched, Suffering humanity. All initiates carry their cross here, within the world of the Will (sixth dimension). Christ-Will only knows how to comply with superior orders; it respects the free will of others; it does not exercise coercion over others, not even in teasing, because that is Black Magic. In the world of the will, the soul is crucified in order to save humanity. The ascension of the fifth serpent through the spinal medulla of the Will- Soul is very slow and difficult. Thus, when the fifth serpent reached the fifth holy center of the heart of the Buddha Jesus of Nazareth, he then entered a sacred precinct where a great Egyptian Initiate Priestess told him, “The Master is disputed among many.” Indeed, brethren of mine, all sects, and religious ministries debate over Master Jesus a great deal. Subsequently, Master Jesus entered into a great hall of the temple; here, many aged Masters were practicing sexual Magic with their wives; they were heroically struggling in order to lift their fifth serpent under the guidance of a great Hierophant who, smiling, contemplated the venerable

http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-gnostic-jesus/9---jesus-fifth-serpent.html (4 of 5)15-11-2006 0:07:58 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - 9 - Jesus' Fifth Serpent

elders performing sexual magic, which is the unutterable secret of the Great Arcanum. In ancient Egypt, those who dared to divulge the Great Arcanum were condemned to the death penalty; their heads were severed, their hearts were snatched out from their bodies and thereafter their ashes were tossed into the four winds. In the Middle Ages, those who divulged the Great Arcanum were killed, sometimes by the poison-stained tunic of Nessus, or the dagger, or the scaffold. Nevertheless, now we publicly deliver the Great Arcanum in order to initiate the new Aquarian Age; the Great Arcanum is sexual magic. When Jesus lifted up his fifth serpent, he totally upraised himself again, since he was fallen. The initiatic feast of the Buddha Jesus was majestic; then the sacred female dancers happily danced in the temple. The sacred dances and its music enclose clues of immense Occult power. Thus, this is how the soul Jesus, by adoring the woman, by loving her and practicing sexual magic with her, upraised himself in Egypt. He did not need to lift up his sixth and seventh serpents because those Fires belong to the Internal Master and He never falls. The one who falls is the Human Soul, which is the Bodhisattva of the Master. In this Dark Age, there exist a great number of fallen bodhisattvas; one of them is Andrameleck who became a horrible Demon, presently incarnated in China. These bodhisattvas are common and ordinary people; many of them are puffed up with vices and wickedness like Javhe, who is the genie of evil, a fallen angel. These types of bodhisattvas reincarnate incessantly in order to pay karma; they suffer and enjoy life, since they are like any other people. Obviously, the Internal Master cannot enter into them until they upraise themselves from the clay of the earth. Daniel, Solomon and many others are fallen. This age of Kali Yuga was fatal for many bodhisattvas who, when fallen, are worse than demons. For example, feeling compassion for a prostitute, an Archangel sent his bodhisattva to assist her, yet his weak bodhisattva fell sexually with her; thus, the bodhisattva lost his sword and sank into the clay of the earth. Logically, this bodhisattva remained disunited from his Innermost and only after many painful reincarnations the bodhisattva upraised himself once again; finally he became fused with his God anew.

Gnostic Radio Once the Buddha Jesus lifted up his five fallen serpents, he, filled with glory, Live365 Radio Station resplendently shone; thus, he did not need anything else but to be crowned. The Gnostic Schools coronation of Jesus is a primordial historical event that is older than the world; in fact, truthfully, this is why, “Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Gnostic Store before Abraham was, I Am.” - John 8:58 Gnostic Videos Apocalypse (Revelation 2:10) states, “Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give Thelema Press thee a Crown of Life.” The crown of life is the Being of our Being; it is the authentic and legitimate “I Am.” It is necessary for our “I” to die within, in order for the Being to be born within us. Thereafter, our Being receives the Crown of Life, which is the resplendent and divine “I Am.” As the day differs from the night, as winter differs from summer, as God differs from the Demon, likewise, the “I Am” differs from the “I.” Therefore, those who speculate about having an inferior “I” and a superior “I” are just looking for an escape in order to avoid the process of their “I.” We, the Gnostics, are not looking for any escape, because we know that the “I” is the horrible larva of the threshold, thus the only thing we want is to terminate with that larva in order to have the right of Being. Yes, only through the termination of that larva can the Crown of Life be granted to us; only in this way can the resplendent “I Am” be incarnated within us. In Egypt, Master Jesus learned how to project himself in the Astral Body by vocalizing FARAON; this is how he consciously projected himself in his Astral Body at will. For this, Master Jesus laid down on his bed in exactly the same manner as the Chac Mool, the Aztec God of Rain; Jesus rested his head on a pillow and got sleepy by vocalizing the Mantra FARAON. When this mantra is vocalized is must be divided into three syllables; the first is “FA” which is the note that resounds in the entire nature. The second is the Egyptian “RA.” The third is the “ON” which reminds us of the famous Sanskrit mantra OM from India. Thus, Master Jesus got sleepy by mentally vocalizing this mantra, and thus he consciously projected himself within his Astral Body at will. It is important to prolong the Sound of each one of the letters of the mantra FARAON so the physical body falls asleep, and the soul, the awakened Consciousness, detaches from it and submerges itself within the internal planes with cognizance, thus traveling within the Astral Body at will. Jesus was awarded by the Pharaoh of Egypt with a sacred Esoteric decoration, which had the shape of two small wings that symbolize the igneous wings; this award was placed over his heart. In those times in Egypt, there was an initiate who was going astray; he intended to swerve Jesus as well, yet he failed in his attempt. Jesus with wisdom admonished that man; however, it was to no avail, since he was already very much gone astray.

Behold, here is the Occult wisdom of Jesus that we, the Gnostics, are spreading in order to initiate the Aquarian Age. We are, therefore, the initiators of this new era. “But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the occult wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But God hath revealed them unto us (the Gnostics) by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God.” - Corinthians: 2: 6, 7, 8, 10 All religions and schools of this century adore and exploit Jesus’ human Personality, yet they reject the secret doctrine of the “I Am.” Yes, no one wants to seek internally his own resplendent and luminous “I Am.” Understand that the doctrine of the “I AM” is the doctrine that Jesus taught to us, nevertheless people reject Jesus’ teachings because: “...The animal man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” - 1 Corinthians: 2:14 “Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought.” - 1 Corinthians: 2:6 After these events passed, Master Jesus left the pyramids; thus, riding a camel, he went towards the sacred land of Hindustan and Eastern Tibet, where he entered into the schools of mysteries. In India and Tibet, Master Jesus made great prophecies, and it was there, on the snowy summits of Tibet, where the Master entered a great temple of mysteries, where a great council of Masters was held. Indeed, Jesus became a true Hierophant of the great mysteries. Thus, after his journey, he returned towards the Holy Land; by that time, Herod was already dead.

Excerpts from The Major Mysteries by Samael Aun Weor

The great Buddha, Jesus of Nazareth, returned to his own land in order to accomplish the greatest mission of all time. Nevertheless, it is very true that, “A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house.” - Matthew 13:57 Even the natural birth of Jesus hides a moral and very painful tragedy: the “Sepher Toldos Jeshu” states that a virgin named Mariam, betrothed to a young man of the name of Iohanan, was ravaged by another man named Ben Panther (Editor: Pandira) or Joseph Panther. Her betrothed Iohanan, learning of her misfortune, forgave her and left for Babylon. This is how the body of the child named Jesus or Joshua was born.” - "La Science des Esprits" Mackenzie's "Royal Masonic Cyclopaedia". So, the painful tragedy of Jesus starts from the beginning: his own physical conception. The angels who assisted his natural conception suffered terribly. “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” - 2 Corinthians 5: 21 Jesus upraised himself from the darkness to the light; he passed through all human sufferings, and therefore, he is the only one who can redeem us from all human pains. The people of Israel were chosen in order to surround the Master and thus to redeem the world. Now we comprehend why so many prophets and so many saints where born amongst the people of Israel. Upon the unconquered walls of Zion, the glory of Solomon, son of David the King of Zion, resplendently shone. This is why the face of Jehovah resplendently shone upon the unconquered walls of Jerusalem. Likewise, Isaiah, Samuel, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and many other prophets shone filled with Light upon the streets of Jerusalem. These were the prophets chosen to accompany the Lord.

Regrettably, at the supreme hour of the final test, their Sanhedrin liberated Barrabas (Javhe) and sent their Christ, their promised Messiah, to be crucified. Thus, when their people had to choose between Christ and Javhe, they crucified the Christ and adored Javhe, who is the chief of the Black Lodge. Javhe is a fallen angel, the genie of evil. Javhe is a terribly perverse

Demon. This is how the people of the Prophets of Judah crucified their promised Messiah - Christ; this is how their people, the nation of Israel, failed. This is how the people that had been chosen by the Prophets of Judah in order to spread the Christic wisdom upon the entire face of the earth chose the Abyss. Now, that nation follows Javhe and totally failed its Prophets, because such a nation betrayed its Master and crucified him. If the Lord had not been crucified, the destiny of the Western world would have been another; we would now have sublime enlightened Rabbis everywhere, preaching the Christic Esotericism.

Christic Esotericism, the secret Jewish Kabbalah, and the Holy Alchemy united would have completely illuminated and transformed the entire world. Yes, the mysteries of Levi would have shone with the Light of Christ. Gnosis (Daath) would have magnificently shone everywhere. Then, the world would not have fallen into the dead Christianity of Roman Catholicism. Then, we would have been saved from the horrible darkness of the Dark Age (Kali Yuga). Regrettably, the people chosen by the Prophets of Judah failed and the entire humanity sank into the abyss. “And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake.” - Matthew 27:51 Then the Ark of the Covenant became visible for all, as the only hope of salvation. This Ark represents the sexual organs, within which is the Great Arcanum, Sexual Magic, the Supreme Key of Redemption. "Woe unto you, Doctors of the Law! For ye have taken away the key of knowledge (Daath): ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. " - Luke, chapter 11: 52

Excerpts from The Major Mysteries by Samael Aun Weor

Albeit the Buddha Jesus was full of majesty, nonetheless he needed only one thing: his coronation. Consequently, Jesus went towards Jordan where John had his haven; since John is a great Master of the White Lodge, John officiated in his temple located at Jordan. At the door of the temple, John wrote an inscription that stated, “Profane dances are forbidden.” John was a white bearded, venerable elder of medium stature. When officiating inside the temple, he dressed in his royal priestly robe; however, outside the temple, he dressed modestly, enveloping his body with camel's hair. Thus, this venerable elder was full of majesty; his half- naked body full of strong muscles and his wide forehead reflected the majesty of his resplendent Being, thus everyone respected him.

As it is written in the books of destiny, John had to live until the arrival of the Messiah; John had to be the great initiator of the Buddha Jesus. When Jesus entered the temple, John was dressed in his priestly garments, thus he commanded Jesus to remove his vestures; Jesus undressed and only his sexual organs

remained covered with a white cloth. Thereafter, Jesus came out of the vestibule and entered the sanctuary; there John anointed the Lord with pure oil and poured water over his head. It was in those moments when three stars resplendently shone within the internal heaven of the Spirit; and through the third star, red as living fire, from that heaven of the Spirit, descended (Chokmah) the Spirit of wisdom. Yes, this was the supreme moment in which the Spirit of Wisdom entered within Jesus through his pineal gland. The Father, only visible to the eyes of the Spirit, did not enter in those moments within the body of Jesus; he only attended the coronation of the Buddha Jesus riding his royal chariot of fire. Thus, this is how the coronation of the Buddha Jesus happened. Apocalypse (Revelation 2:10) states, “Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a Crown of Life.” Jesus was faithful and therefore he received the Crown of Life." The Crown of Life is the eternal breath, profoundly unknowable to itself; it is a breath of The Absolute within us, it is that pure ray from which the Innermost of each Human Being emanated, it is the Atmic thread of the Hindustanis, it is our “I Am.” “Whosoever knows, the Word gives power to, no one has uttered it, no one will utter it, except the one who has the word incarnated.” Jesus incarnated the Word in the baptism. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” - John 1:1-3, 5 The Cosmic Christ is called “Christos” by the Greeks, “Osiris” by the Egyptians; “Vishnu” by the Hindus; “Kuan Yin,” the Melodious Voice by the Chinese; “Avalokiteshvara” by Tibetans. The Cosmic Christ is the Army of the Voice, the great breath, the central Sun, the Solar Logos, the Word of God. Sequentially, after this Gnostic baptism (Daath), like a radiant Sun, the Christ, filled with glory, resplendently shone with an immaculate divine white light within Jesus. Thus, this is how Jesus incarnated his resplendent and luminous “I Am;” and it was from that moment that the Buddha Jesus became Jesus Christ (the Son of Man). “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…full of grace and truth.” “That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.” - John 1: 14, 9. Hierarchical differences do not exist within Christ, within Him we are all One. “John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spoke, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.” - John 1: 15

“And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.” - John 1:16, thus, whosoever incarnates his Inner Christ will become Him as well. Many Buddhas incarnated Christ in the past, and in the future, many Buddhas will incarnate the Lord. Understand that no one can receive the Crown of Life without first having lifted up his Seven Serpents upon the staff. Anyone who says, “I received the Crown of Life,” lies; because the one who receives it does http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-gnostic-jesus/12---the-baptism-of-jesus.html (3 of 6)15-11-2006 0:09:20 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - 12 - The Baptism of Jesus

not boast about it; the one who receives it is only known by his deeds; the Crown of Life is a remarkable secret. We have to become dwellings of the Lord; “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up” - John 3: 14 Understand that (as Jesus) we have to incarnate the Christ within us in order to ascend to the Father. Christ is not an individual; Christ is the Army of the Voice, the Word of God. No one comes to the Father but through the Son (the Cosmic Christ). Within Christ we are all One. Within the Lord there are no differences between one man and another, because we are all One within Him. Thus, individuality does not exist within Him. So, the one who incarnates Christ becomes Him, Him, Him. “Variety is Unity.” Therefore, we have to terminate with the Personality and the “I” for in order for the Being to be born within us; we have to terminate our individualism. If a mystic in a state of Ecstasy abandons all of his seven bodies in order to investigate the life of Christ, he will then see his Self (his Glorian) represented in the drama of the passion of the Lord. He will then be his Glorian performing miracles and marvels; he will experience his Self dead and resurrected on the third day; that mystic will occupy the place of Christ and in those moments he shall be Him, Him, Him, because in the world of the Christ there are no individuals; within the Christ there is only one Being that expresses his Self as many. When the “I” and the individuality are terminated, then only the values of the Consciousness remain; these are the attributes of Eternal Absolute Abstract Space, who only can say, “I Am the way, the truth and the life, I Am the Light, I Am the Life, I Am the good shepherd, I Am the door, I Am the bread, I Am the resurrection.” This is how the Being receives the Being of his Being, his “I Am,” which is a breath from the Great Breath within each one of us, our particular ray, He, He, He. The “I Am” is the Inner Christ of every human being, our divine “Augoides,” the Logos. Whosoever receives the Crown of Life has the right to say, “I Am He, I Am He, I Am He.” Theosophists talk about the Monad, yet the Glorian is not the Monad, and nevertheless, the Monad emerges from Him. He is our particular ray; that ray is a perfect triad. Only He can liberate us from the Law of Karma. He is the Logoic Ray of each human being. The end of the Law is Christ. The Law of Karma is merely the stepmother, the healer that cures us, that is all. Yet, in Christ we are free. Christ is the Logos, the Word; He makes of us free and powerful kings and priests. Whosoever receives the Crown of Life liberates his Self from the Law of Karma. He is the Army of the Voice, our resplendent Dragon of Wisdom. He is the Crown of Life, Faith, the Word, the Crown of Justice, the Christ. Under the law we are slaves, yet in Christ we are all free because the end of the Law of Karma is Christ.

“Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.” - Revelation 2:10

The attributes of the eternal “I Am” are within the Army of the Voice. Therefore, discard all of your idolatries, religions, schools, sects, orders and lodges and seek your resplendent and luminous “I Am” who dwells within the depth of your Being. He is your only Savior. Christ is the Army of the Voice, who is the unique Being; the Being of all Beings; the sum total of all the attributes of Eternal Absolute Abstract Space; it is the total, impersonal, universal and infinite Cosmic Christ... Christ is a multiple perfect unity. “And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” - John 1:5 Christ is the Solar Logos, is the Army of the Voice, which is an eternal, unconditioned and multiple perfect unity. He is the creative Logos; He is the Word of the first instant; He is the Great Breath emanated from within the bosom of the Eternal Absolute Abstract Space; Christ is the Army of the Word, the Eternal Absolute Abstract Space, which is the Being of the Being within all Beings, it is the Absolute, the Unutterable Name, the Limitless Space. Whosoever incarnates his Christ becomes Christified and thus enters into the ranks of the Army of the Voice. In Egypt, the Christ was called Osiris and whosoever incarnated him was an Osirified Being; among the Aztecs, the “I Am” is named Quetzalcoatl.

Excerpts from The Major Mysteries by Samael Aun Weor

The seven columns of the temple of wisdom are double and are made of burning fire. These are the seven degrees of the power of fire; these are the Seven Serpents. After receiving the Crown of Life, we have to raise the double of each column; these are the Seven Serpents of Light of the “I Am.” We need to become dwellings of the Lord by means of the lighting of our candelabra of seven branches. Christ, as the child of God, as the child of Bethlehem, is born within our heart.

http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-gnostic-jesus/13---the-seven-double-columns-of-the-temple.html (2 of 5)15-11-2006 0:09:59 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - 13 - The Seven Double Columns of the Temple

Uselessly Christ in Bethlehem was born If within our heart his birth is forlorn. His crucifixion, death and resurrection on the third day from among the dead were in vain, Unless his crucifixion, death and resurrection, be set up within each one of us again. The “I Am” is born within us as a small child and has to grow slowly, because nature does not make leaps. The birth of Christ within us is the Nativity of the heart; before Jesus, many initiates incarnated Christ; after Jesus, a few of us have incarnated Christ, and many will incarnate him in the future. Yes, the Spirit of Wisdom (Ruach Chokmah-El) is constantly born in the manger of the world in order to save humanity. Thus, Jesus Christ had to patiently lift up each one of his Seven Serpents of Light. Understand that there are Seven Serpents of Fire and Seven Serpents of Light. The ascension of each one of the Serpents of Light is a very arduous and difficult task; indeed, it is the terror of Sanctity, Love and Law. Jesus began raising the First Serpent of Light, which is related with the Physical Body. Each vertebra demands difficult virtues and frightful sanctities. Thus, while the First Serpent of Light is reaching each vertebra, we are then entering into each one of the 33 holy Chambers of the temple. This serpent makes us kings of the Abyss, which is one of the seven unutterable secrets. The Seven Serpents of Light belong to the mysteries of Faith and of Nature; these are the seven eternal Calvaries; thus when the ascension of the first serpent is completed, the First Initiation in the mysteries of Faith and of Nature is attained. When the initiate awakens the Second Serpent of Light, he can then practice sexual Magic only once a week. Very much later in time, the initiate becomes nonsexual, in other words, he enters to enjoy the delights of love without sexual contact; here is when we are already omnipotent Gods. These are inviolable laws. Friday is the day for sexual magic; this is how the Ethereal Body becomes absolutely Christified with the Second Serpent and we Return into Eden, where Lord Jehovah welcomes us; this is how we become inhabitants of Eden. The Christified Ethereal Body is the golden body, the wedding garment of the soul; with this garment we can enter into any department of nature and travel within it in order to serve in the Great Work. The wedding garment of the soul is crystalline like water; this is the Soma-Puchicon; it seems to be made of pure glass and it grants us continuous cognizance; it is governed by the rays of the Moon; it resembles an ineffable maiden.

The Third Serpent transfigured the Astral Body of Jesus, and it shone like the Sun on the Mount of the Transfiguration, with the majesty of the “I Am.” The Fourth Serpent of Light Christifies the Mind absolutely; we then have the mind of the Lord, and when He expresses himself through this mind, we are ineffable Gods who shine like Christ. The Fifth Serpent converts the Human Will into an ineffable Christ; we then have the will of the Lord. The Sixth Serpent of Light Christifies the Consciousness; we then have the consciousness of the Lord. The Seventh Serpent of light Christifies the Innermost absolutely; we then utter the seventh Word, this is, “Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit.” - Luke 23:46. We are then the ineffable, powerful and divine Christ. These are the seven terribly divine Golgothas. These heights are achieved by loving, by adoring our spouse. Men and women have the same rights. These Seven Serpents of Light are the Seven Seals of Apocalypse (Revelation), which only the Lamb, the “I Am,” can open. Love is the greatest happiness of the universe; love transforms us into Christs. Gnostic homes are filled with Chastity, love and beauty. In the patios of the Aztec temples, many couples of man and woman remained for entire months adoring each other and sexually connecting themselves without ejaculating their Semen; this is how men and women attained Self-realization. This is the doctrine that Christ taught in secrecy to his 70 disciples; this is the holy doctrine of the “I Am.” “I am that bread of life.” “I am the living bread.” “Whosoever eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day." - John, chapter 6: 48, 51, 54 We have to ingest the flesh and blood of the “I Am” in order to become as Gods. Nevertheless, we know that all of those “super-transcended” people of Spiritualism, Theosophy, Rosicrucianism, etc. are puffed up with such pride that they believe that everything in life is as easy as blowing glass in order to make bottles. Therefore, it will not surprise us if they will profane the revelations of this book by boasting of being “super- transcended” and alleging that they are also receiving the Crown of Life. Yes, these abusers will now increase in number everywhere and the “Christs” will appear in bunches, a kind of “super-crowned” harvesting. So, beware, “For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.” “Take heed lest any man deceive you: For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” - Mark 13:22, 5, 6 Moreover, even within the Gnostic Movement false Christs will appear.

There will not be a single medium-chaneller from spiritualism without the mania of boasting of having received the Crown of Life. We, the inhabitants of the Sacred Island, give you these warnings in order for you not to be cheated by the antichrists. “Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.” - Matthew 24:23. With this book we initiate the Age of Aquarius, but we know that humanity is not yet prepared to understand this book; therefore, we warn you of the danger, in order for you to not fall into the abyss of perdition. They will abuse this book worse than they did with the Bible. Therefore, seek your resplendent and luminous “I Am;” practice sexual magic and sanctify yourselves totally. “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” - Matthew 24:35 Right now, your two witnesses are dead because of Fornication, but you must resurrect them. “And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom.” - Revelation 11:8. When your two witnesses resurrect with sexual magic and when they stand upon their feet, great fear will fall upon the tenebrous ones. “And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies.” - Revelation 11: 5 Now beware that when your two witnesses are dead, you do not yet possess your Christic Powers, and therefore, the tenebrous ones can easily deceive you. Beware of the false Christs, beware of the Spiritualists, namely, Theosophists, Rosicrucians, Aquarianists, etc. since those people state that they follow Christ, nevertheless, indeed, they follow their “divine impostors.” They do not even know what the Christ is; yes, none of those tenebrous ones know what the “I Am” is. The divine Master Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” - John 14:6, nonetheless Spiritualists do not understand this, and instead of seeking their resplendent and luminous “I Am” within themselves, they prefer to go around following their sublime impostors, yet they allege that they are following Christ! How cynical they are! What a muddy hypocrisy, God of mine! They abandon their resplendent “I Am” and thereafter they come with the sophism that there are many paths, and that one can reach Divinity through any path. How cynical they are! Master Jesus did not talk to us about so many paths. Jesus only said: “I am (is) the way, the truth, and the life.” - John 14:6

The first miracle performed by Jesus was the transmutation of water into wine; Jesus performed this miracle at a wedding. Thus, this is the first miracle that our disciples must perform; because this is how one enters Initiation. Yes, it is certain that by means of sexual contact within marriage we transmute the water into wine. We have to transmute the water (Semen) into the wine of the Light of the Alchemist; and indeed, sexual Magic is the way. So, through his first miracle Jesus publicly taught sexual transmutation, sexual magic, and in this way he began the opening of the path of initiation for all of this Suffering humanity! Jesus Christ represented the entire drama of initiation in the flesh; this drama begins with sexual transmutation, because it is by means of sexual magic that we become as Gods. When the spouses upraise themselves to the state of Gods, then they can only enjoy the delights of love without sexual contact; this is something that pertains to the Gods.

When we study the wedding of Cana within the Akashic archives of nature, we then see a

great, wonderful party within a great wooden palace. The bride was a young aristocratic female of that old palace; she had a body of medium height, dark features, blunt nose and a protruding upper lip. She dressed in a white wedding garment and a crown of flowers over her head. The feast was solemn and Jesus attended it; yet suddenly, when the wine was consumed, all the guests look to each other as if saying, “This party is over”; however, Jesus crossed the room towards a corner of the luxurious palace, where a barrel (a square-shaped container) of pure water was set up; a few olive leaves were floating on the water. So, Jesus Christ extended his right hand over that pure water of life and the water was transmuted into wine. Thereafter, everyone rejoiced and continue their feasting celebration. So through this miracle, he publicly taught sexual magic. We have to transmute the water of life (semen) into the wine of Light of the Alchemist; this is how the sacred fire awakens; this is how our spinal Fires develop. Let us not forget that the Cosmic Christ dwells within the Seed of every plant, animal and Human Being.

“Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto. Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, and to seeds, as of many; but as of one, and to thy seed, which is (the Cosmic) Christ.” - Galatians 3: 15, 16 "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. "And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The Sun shall be turned into darkness, and the Moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of Jehovah come. "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever (through sexual transmutation) shall call on the name of IAOH shall be delivered: for in mount Zion (Yesod) and in (Heavenly) Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as Iod-Havah hath said, and in the remnant whom Iod-Havah shall call." - Joel 2: 28-32 (Romans 10: 13)

"And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that Jehovah Elohim (the Holy Spirit) hath sent me (as The Word of God) to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own will. “If these men (anger, covetousness and lust) die the common death of all men or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then Jehovah Elohim (the Holy Spirit) hath not sent me. “But if Jehovah Elohim (Shiva, the Holy Spirit) makes a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the Abyss (the Ninth Infernal Sphere of Klipoth); then ye shall understand that these men have provoked Jehovah Elohim (the Holy Spirit). “And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder (and showed Klipoth, the abyss, the Infradimensions) that was under them: “And the earth opened her (Infradimensional) mouth, and (Apollyon, the destroyer,) swallowed them up (the three traitors), and their families (or psychological aggregates), and all the men (of evil-will) that appertained unto Korah, and all their possessions (all of their karma). “They (the three traitors), and all that (karma) appertained to them, went down alive into the abyss, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished (in the ninth infernal sphere) from among the congregation. “And all Israel (all believers) that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, lest the earth (the Klipoth, the abyss) swallow us up also (if we do not disintegrate our lust, anger, pride, greed, envy, gluttony and laziness here and now).” - Numbers 16: 23-35

"In that same hour came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, who is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, and said, Verily I say unto you, except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven." – Matthew 18: 1-4 Nevertheless, in this day and age, those who boast about being Jesus’ followers do not want to follow his example; none of them wants to become a child. Popes, cardinals, archbishops, bishops and priests from the swerved Church of Rome, puffed up with pride and arrogance, travel in luxurious cars; they do not even remotely want to become children, instead they stuff themselves with intellectualisms, high ranking titles and with enormous wealth. Likewise, the pastors of the different religious sects from this barbarian epoch benefit from their titles of pastor and puffed up with pride and arrogance feel “peachy” when their ignorant sheep present to them greetings and reverence; yes, they also do not want to be converted, and become as little children. In this day and age, everybody wants to be a great lord, and they love the chief seats in the synagogues; they all want to be great Avatars and great Masters, yet no one wants to become as a little child. Nonetheless, all of them know a lot about Jesus’ doctrine; yes, they preach his doctrine, “but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.” – Matthew 23:3. None of them wants to convert their Mind into a little child; this matter about becoming as little child displeases them. Likewise, the bookworm-devotees of the different schools, orders, lodges, etc., believe that they know a lot and this matter about becoming as a little child even seems ridiculous to them, nevertheless, just out of pride, they declare themselves to be like children. Instead, they all boast of being famous reincarnations, yes, none of them wants to be a midget; none of them wants to be the last on the line. Sadly, this is how this present humanity is. Understand that in order to receive the Crown of Life, one must have a mind as a little child; for this, we have to liberate ourselves from intellectual pride, we have to terminate with theosophist fears and theological intellectualisms; in other words, we must liberate ourselves from all spiritualist aberrations, cleanse our understanding from all types of intellectualisms and theories, political parties, concepts of country and flag, schools, etc. and we must practice sexual Magic and kill not only Desire, but even the very knowledge of desire. Yes, we must terminate with Reasoning in order to have the mind as a little child. A child does not reason, his intuition instinctually knows; a child does not covet money, a child does not Fornicate, a child does not commit Adultery nor is a child an assassin.

In Colombia, South America, during a certain political revolt, the priests were hiring assassins in order to kill some citizens; those clergymen cannot even remotely be children; they are assassins, but children? Not at all! Yes, this is a truth! How can someone who kills be a child? How can someone who steals be a child? How can someone who fornicates be a child? The abyss is accessed through three doors: Anger, covetousness and lust

"Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee. Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.

Excerpts from The Major Mysteries by Samael Aun Weor

http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-gnostic-jesus/16---jesus-at-the-supper-in-bethany.html (2 of 5)15-11-2006 0:11:47 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - 16 - Jesus at the Supper in Bethany

Indeed, the elixir of long life is a powerful, electropositive and electronegative, immaculate, white gas. When the initiate asks for the elixir of long life, he enters into the Temple of Sanat Kumara who reads to the initiate all the conditions and sacred requirements. Sanat Kumara is the founder of the College of Initiates of the White Lodge. He lives in an oasis of the Gobi desert with other Lemurian initiates; they all continue to use the same physical bodies of more than 18,000,000 years ago. Thus, Sanat Kumara greets the initiate and tells him, “You are another immolated being on the altar of great sacrifice;” thereafter he blesses the initiate. Subsequently, within the Internal Worlds, the initiate enters into another temple, at the porch of which there is an inscription that reads, “Gnostic Temple of Those Who Prolong Their Life.” The initiate attends these temples in the Astral Body; during a ceremony here, he receives the elixir of long life. That gas remains preserved within the Vital Body. Thereafter, death has to be overcome in the Ordeals of the Arcanum Thirteen, which are indeed terrifying. Very few human beings have enough courage to overcome them with success. The one who becomes victorious is warned that despite his victory, he still has to die. Indeed, he dies, but does not die, because on the third day after his death, the initiate approaches his tomb in the Astral Body in order to summon his physical body. The Spirits of Movement, the Angels of Death, and other hierarchies, help him in his resurrection. Thus, the initiate’s physical body obeys, and when it rises from the sepulcher, it totally penetrates within the supersensible worlds. Here, holy women massage the physical body with certain secret drugs, and the divine hierarchies infuse life and motion into it. Subsequently, impelled by supreme Powers, the physical body enters into the initiate through the pineal gland; in the Astral Body, this gland is the one thousand petalled lotus flower, the crown of the saints, the Diamond Eye. Thus, this is how the resurrection from the dead is performed. All the Masters who have resurrected live with their physical bodies for millions of years. After having resurrected from among the dead, Zanoni committed the error of taking a wife. This is why he lost his head at the guillotine during the French Revolution. Only the initiates who have reached these summits can live and direct the current of life of the centuries. Only here the initiate no longer needs a spouse. The initiate’s physical body remains in Jinn state; this is the gift of Cupid. Nevertheless, the initiate can become visible and tangible in this tridimensional world wherever is necessary, and works in the physical world under the commands of the White Lodge. As a Resurrected Master, the initiate commands the great life; he has power over the Fire, Air, Water and Earth. Yes, all of nature kneels before him and obeys him. He can live among men, and becomes a Man-God. Naturally, it is indispensable to undergo the ordeals of the Arcanum 13 in order to reach these http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-gnostic-jesus/16---jesus-at-the-supper-in-bethany.html (3 of 5)15-11-2006 0:11:47 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - 16 - Jesus at the Supper in Bethany

summits. The physical body must be embalmed for death; the supper at Bethany corresponds to this event of the Arcanum Thirteen. Thus, after the body has been embalmed for death, it is submitted to a special Evolution for the tomb that develops within the numbers 30 and 35, which when added together give the Arcanum Eleven (the tamed Lion); yes, we have to tame nature and overcome it. Thus, when the body is ready for the sepulcher, the processes of death and resurrection occur. In this case, the Angels of Death do not cut the silver cord; this is how the initiate dies but does not die. The physical brain of the initiate is submitted to a special transformation: it becomes more subtle, delicate, and radiant.

The supper at Bethany relates with these processes of Jesus Christ. “Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always; for in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. Verily I say unto you, wherever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her”. - Matthew, 26: 6-13 The mysteries of death are astounding. Jesus met the adorable Goddess of Death after having returned from Jordan into the solitude of the wilderness. The Goddess Mother Death is known among the Aztecs with the name of Mietlancihuati; She is the supreme commander of the Angels of Death. She is the only one who can liberate us from pain and bitterness. Through death, She takes us out of this valley of tears millions of times, always filled with immense maternal love, full of Charity, adorable, and good. The three keys of Suffering are: the Moon, the fornicating Eve, and the turbid waters; all of these belong to the horrible kingdom of “Saint Mary,” the Abyss… The blessed Goddess Death is love and charity. The Aztecs represented her with a diadem of nine skulls. Nine is Initiation. Whosoever fulfills the Arcanum Thirteen becomes completely liberated; the blessed Goddess Death receives and gives; this is why she is represented with four hands.

Excerpts from the book The Major Mysteries by Samael Aun Weor Ehecatl intervened in the resurrection of Jesus Christ; Ehecatl is known as the God of the Wind among the Aztecs. Ehecatl entered the tomb of Jesus on the third day and uttered with a loud voice, “Jesus, rise from within your tomb, with your body.” Then, Ehecatl induced activity and movement within the body of Jesus. Ehecatl is a lovely Angel and Spirit of Movement. The Lords of Movement regulate all the activities of the cosmic movement. The Aztecs worshipped Ehecatl.

“Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the holy women came (in the Astral Body) unto the sepulcher, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain other women with them.” - Luke 24: 1 Thus, this is how the physical body of Jesus was submerged within the Internal Worlds and remained in Jinn state; thus, the tomb remained empty. “Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulcher; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.” - Luke 24: 12 The physical body of Jesus was treated with aromatic spices and sacred ointments; thereafter it entered through the Astral pineal gland of the Master. This is how the resurrection of the physical body of Jesus was performed, which later in Jinn state became visible and tangible before the disciples of Emmaus. “And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.” - Luke 24: 30, 31 When the eleven apostles gathered together, it seemed impossible to them that Jesus could have resurrected. “And as they thus spoke, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.” - Luke 24:36-37. Logically, they were terrified because it seemed impossible for them for a cadaver to have life. “And he said unto them, why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.” - Luke 24:38-39 And in order to completely prove to them that he had a body of flesh and blood, “he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? And they gave him a piece of a broiled Fish, and of an honeycomb. And he took it, and did eat before them.” - Luke 24: 41-43 Later on, Master Jesus left towards the East: to Tibet. Thus, this is how Jesus taught and demonstrated physically to humanity the Doctrine of the Resurrection from the Dead. Thus, by practicing sexual Magic, by adoring our spouse, by knowing how to love, any Human Being can climb these very high summits of resurrection. SHAMBHALA

(“And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.” - Acts 1: 9-11)

Jesus Christ presently lives in Shambhala (a secret country of Tibet) with his same resurrected physical body; yes, in Shambhala he also has his Temple of Mysteries. The entire country of Shambhala is in the Jinn State; here is where the principal monasteries of the White Lodge exist. Many Masters, whose stream of life of their physical bodies comes from very ancient ages and who exist in the Jinn State, live in Shambhala. When Jesus walked upon the Waters, he carried his body in Jinn State. Any disciple can travel in the same manner. The disciple becomes slightly asleep, then, filled with Faith and preserving the slumber state, he rises from his bed like a somnambulist. Subsequently, he will perform a little jump with the intention of submerging himself within the supersensible worlds; with the jump, he will float in the atmosphere; this is called Jinn State. This is how one floats in space and walks upon the waters. Some succeed immediately, while others take months and even years. Monasteries of the White Lodge in the Jinn State exist in all the corners of the world. Our disciples (in the Astral Body or in Jinn State) can visit Shambhala and converse with Jesus Christ. A road from the northeast goes from the city of Ghandara until arriving at the Sita and Bhastani rivers. Two sacred columns are found behind these two rivers and thereafter a lake where an initiated elder guides the traveler to the secret country, Shambhala. Profane people will never find this country, since it is very well hidden. Jesus Christ will Return at the zenith of Aquarius with his same resurrected physical body, which he still preserves in Jinn State. Later on, Master Jesus will come again in the continent of Antarctica in order to illuminate the Koradhi, the Sixth Root Race. Much later, he will come back in order to instruct the Seventh Root Race. Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. Indeed, the only one who can save us is our resplendent and luminous “I Am.” Jesus Christ brought the doctrine of the “I Am”: this is why He is the Savior. The Roman priests stole the secret doctrine of the Lord. Any mystic in a state of Ecstasy can see, within many spiritualist schools, religions and sects, the Christ tied to the column where they whipped him 5,000 and more times. Yes, all those schools and religions are whipping the Lord daily. Some Theosophists still believe that above Jesus Christ there are more elevated beings; yet, those diverted, wretched souls are mistaken, because Jesus Christ is a “Paramarthasatya” who renounced The Absolute in order to come to this valley of tears. Jesus Christ is a leader of all souls, an inhabitant of the Absolute. Many devotees commit the mistake of affiliating themselves to impostors, i.e. like the Aquarianists who affiliated themselves to a perverse French engineer who disguised himself as Jesus-Christ; this evildoer, this horrible larva, is already severed from his Innermost: yes, La Ferriere is a perverse Demon of the Abyss. Impostors are monsters who will receive their punishment, “For without (the Heavenly Jerusalem) are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.” - Revelation 22:15 As in any war, traitors get shot in their back; what type of punishment do the ones who betray the leader of all souls deserve, those who exchange the Christ for an impostor? “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” - Luke 23:43 Understand our final statement: whosoever becomes a disciple of a demon will go to the abyss to accompany his adorable demon-guru.

The Logos is the Cosmic Christ, that vibrant energy which always seek to assist Suffering humanity.

And those who incarnate the Christ (Krishna, Horus, Jesus, Fu Hsi, etc.) are one with the Word; they become the Word made flesh. These Messiah’s emerge from various cultures throughout history in order to establish great spiritual traditions that glorify the Word and teach the means to incarnate It. They come to fulfill the purpose of the Word and to clarify true teachings that inevitably degenerate through exposure in the world of men and must be reinvigorated.

Thus, within these avatars “The Son of Man” is born into the world as a beacon of light that dispels the darkness of Ignorance. Although the Cosmic Christ is neither limited to time or space It expresses through Messiahs who are born into specific cultures during certain times in history. As the inevitable result the objective truths of the Cosmic Christ are received in a way that is specific to the time and place a Messiah delivers the teachings. And so despite the ever-changing face of the teaching (due to the disparate cultures of world tradition) the essence of http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-universal-savior/the-universal-savior-introduction.html (2 of 3)15-11-2006 0:12:47 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - The Universal Savior Introduction

the teaching is fixed, because the truths contained within the teachings are themselves objective and immutable. These truths are contained within the very lives (both real and legendary) of the Messiahs that teach them.

This area will present a series of articles demonstrating the universal nature of the Cosmic Christ. Each of the stories we examine is deep with Kabbalah and Alchemy; to truly comprehend them requires meditation and reflection. To further understand the concepts and terms presented hereafter, we recommend the study of The Initiatic Path in the Arcana of Tarot and Kabbalah and The Perfect Matrimony.

Plato wrote about the universal archetype of a second God (the second sephira of the Kabbalah, Chockmah, The Christ) who impressed himself on the universe in the form of a cross, and his divine man (the virgin-born Bodhisattva) who would be scourged, tormented, fettered, and have his eyes burnt out; and lastly having suffered all manner of evils, would be crucified. According to the Greek philosopher Speusippus (4th cent. bce) "the divine" Plato was the "son of Apollo" and was himself the product of an immaculate conception.

But the tradition of recognizing the immaculate conception of a Son of God was hardly an unprecedented practice in the ancient Greco- Roman world as Hesiod indicated of Hephaistos’ (Vulcan to the Romans) birth. Hesiod’s “Theogeny” clearly states that Hera “…without love’s union bore famous Hephaistos.”

http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-universal-savior/the-immaculate-conception.html (2 of 24)15-11-2006 0:13:22 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - The Immaculate Conception The Greek hero, Perseus, was the immaculately born son of princess Danae. whose father, King Acrisius (king of Argos), locked her away from the world in an underground bronze chamber in chamber. Zeus penetrated into the bronze chamber of Danae through a hole in the ceiling (symbol of the pineal gland) and descended upon her as a golden shower. Thus Perseus was conceived. But why was the chamber bronze? Bronze is an amalgam of the metals tin and copper. These two metals are Esoteric symbols of the polarities - positive (tin, related to Jupiter) and negative (copper, related to Venus). Bronze is created when the two polarities are brought together and bonded in purity. This is the great secret knowledge of Alchemy by which Danae was able to conceive a divine child. It is the very same secret behind the fiery bronze serpent that Moses raised in the desert to heal the Israelites (Numbers 21:9).

The sexual fire of the Third Logos (Binah, the Holy Spirit) in the Hindustan is known under the name of Kundalini and is symbolized by a serpent of burning fire. - Samael Aun Weor, Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology: Virgo

The tyrant King Amulius compelled the chaste Rhea Silvia to become a Vestal Virgin so that she would not bear a son and legitimate heir to the throne. Much to his dismay she bore two sons, the legendary forbears of the Roman civilization. Romulus and Remus were celebrated as the sons of the god Mars, whom favored Rhea Silvia as she drew water from his sacred spring (Yesod, the Waters of life).

http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-universal-savior/the-immaculate-conception.html (3 of 24)15-11-2006 0:13:22 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - The Immaculate Conception The Greek Dionysus (Bacchus to Romans), titled “twice-born” by his followers, was born to the virgin Semele.

And the Kadmeid Semele bore an illustrious son, much-cheering Dionysus, after joining Zeus in love, mortal with immortal; now they both are gods.

By giving birth to the “Golden Child” the mortal mother Semele incarnated her Divine Father (the superior aspect of every Monad) and gave birth to her own immortal soul. Soon after her conception Semele was consumed by Zeus’ divine fire and the Father of the Gods snatched the fire-born Dionysus from the ashes and thrust him into his thigh for protection. Zeus (Jupiter of the Romans) is the sacred symbol of the Inner Being, and as Father of the gods He is the Christ. In esoteric wisdom, the planet Jupiter rules the femoral arteries and the thighs of the physical body. Dionysus’ subsequent birth from the thigh of Zeus was symbolic of being born again from his Divine Father. This means that he fabricated the vehicles of the soul and incarnated the superior aspect of his Monad, the Being. Thus he became Plato’s divine man. Dionysus was said to have invented the art of making wine (symbol of Alchemy). He traveled extensively to introduce wine (The Great Arcanum) to the world and eventually descended into Hades (Hell) to rescue his mother. This is symbolic of the work of the bodhisattva in the Second Mountain, descending into his own Abyss in order to die (in all of his/her Ego) and go to the sepulcher of the eighth Venustic Initiation (Binah). This is related to the drama of resurrection, which will be the subject of discourse in a later segment.

Promised by the angel Gabriel that she would give birth to “the Son of the Highest”, the virgin (Mary), espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, replied “How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?” And the angel answered, “The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” And thus the Blessed Virgin Mary immaculately conceived Jesus. Mary was herself believed in early Christian times to have been born of a virgin. One source of Mary's immaculate conception was John of Damascus, who asserted that Mary's parents were filled and purified by the Holy Ghost, and freed from sexual concupiscence. Likewise, the Catholic Encyclopedia confirms (Immaculate Conception), that even the human element (of Mary's origin), the material of which she was formed, was pure and holy. In other words, the Roman Catholic doctrine dictates that the virgin birth of Jesus was unoriginal as, like Jesus, the Blessed Virgin Mary was conceived without sin.

It is interesting to see that St. Paul, recorded the first known reference to Jesus' birth (Between 49 and 55 CE) in Galatians 4:4, as:

But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law.

The law, of course, is the law of the Human Soul, the sixth commandment, “Thou shalt not Fornicate.” The sixth commandment is the first commandment of the Human Soul. One born under this law is lawfully born. A Master can only be born to one who fulfills the law of the sixth commandment.

http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-universal-savior/the-immaculate-conception.html (4 of 24)15-11-2006 0:13:22 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - The Immaculate Conception Krishna, the Hindu Christ, was lawfully born to his virgin mother Devaki. The newborn Krishna even addresses her in the “Bhagavad Purana” as “chaste lady” in accounts of his birth. It is written that Vishnu, “Lord of all things”, entered the Mind of Vasudeva (Krishna’s physical father) and in due time Devaki bore the manifestation of the infallible Lord…deposited in her womb by Vasudeva…by mental transmission. It is interesting to note that the immaculate conception is performed through Vasudeva instead of directly through Devaki. This is a reminder that in the Alchemical act the husband essentially becomes the wife’s Divine Father as the wife becomes the husband’s Divine Mother. This was done so that it would come to pass that God himself, the supreme person, will accept birth in the house of Vasudeva and “the burden of the earthly realm (will be) removed by your Lordship’s birth.” In another version of the immaculate conception (from the “Vishnu Purana”) Lord Vishnu plucked a black and a white hair from his head and said, "Both these hairs of mine shall take incarnation on earth and remove the miseries that the people face there… This black hair of mine shall take birth as the eighth son of Devaki (Krishna; the white hair became his powerful brother Balarama)." And as foretold the Lord Himself appeared as the eighth issue of Devaki.

Possibly the oldest account on record (before 2000 BCE) of this ageless tradition of immaculately born Saviors is the birth of Gilgamesh:

Child of Lugal banda's wife and some great force, Gilgamesh is a fate alive, the finest babe of Ninsun, she who never let a man touch her, indeed so sure and heavenly, so without sin.

Referred to by the faithful as “the Light of the World,” Mithra is recorded over 2500 years ago as a Persian savior born of the virgin Anahita, "the Immaculate One." He is also Mitra son of the virgin Aditi entitled “Mother of the Gods” in an Indian Vedic tradition over 3500 years old. Mithra had a following that spread from Europe to Asia and was worshipped by Roman emperors for over three hundred years. Mithra worship was very widespread. Thus, as with many other Messiah traditions that survived centuries of cultural adaptation and change, there exists more than one version of Mithra’s birth and death. The most common version of Mithra’s immaculate birth is referred to by his epithet the "rock-born." Mithra was called "Theos ek Petras," or the "God from the Rock" as he was born immaculately from a rock. The immaculately born child, Qi (of the Chinese hero of the Flood, Yu) was born from a stone as were the earliest Norse gods and the hero Enkidu from the ancient Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh:

Aruru thought of Anu. Then she wet her creative fingers, fashioned a rock, and tossed it as far as she could into the woods. Thus she fathered Enkidu

Those who understand the sacred science of Alchemy, will immediately recognize the meaning of this symbolism. One is aptly reminded of the doctrine of Simon Peter, Cephas Patar, “the Rock”: “I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on it shall not be confounded.” One born from the philosophic stone, “the (corner)stone the builders rejected,” the liquid stone of Mercury which is Yesod (Hebrew: Foundation), has built his house on a foundation of stone. He is twice-born. This also brings to bear the words of the wise King Drupada, from the Hindu epic Mahabharata, who states “among all men those who are twice-born are the best.”

http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-universal-savior/the-immaculate-conception.html (5 of 24)15-11-2006 0:13:22 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - The Immaculate Conception

All the principle tools of (Free)Masonry serve in order to work with the stone. Every Master Mason must chisel well his Philosophical Stone. This stone is the sex. We must build the temple of the Eternal One upon the Living Stone (and not build on sand). – The Perfect Matrimony (p.305)

Masonic lodges were keepers of this knowledge of The Great Arcanum before degenerating into elitist social clubs that lost the meanings of their own symbols and rituals.

The alchemical symbol of the rock is reinforced by Mithra’s demonstration of shooting arrows into a rock in order to bring forth water. This is the same lesson exhibited by the Jewish savior Moses when he strikes a rock with his staff to bring forth water. For it is within the “stone” of Yesod, the sex, that the waters of life are found.

http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-universal-savior/the-immaculate-conception.html (6 of 24)15-11-2006 0:13:22 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - The Immaculate Conception

This is the key to the mysterious black stone of the Qa’abah (dedicated to the Arabian Divine Mother Al-Uzza, particularly revered by the tribe to which Mohammed belonged). This is the secret of the sacred stone from which the sword (of the Kundalini) is drawn by the one true King (Arthur, the Intimate). This is the meaning of the rock of Delos that floated on water and gave Leto safe haven to birth the divine twins Apollo and Artemis, after nine days of torment from the serpent Python (which was eventually slain by Apollo). It is the meaning of the great stone that Perseus lifted in order to attain his birthright - his father’s sword (of the kundalini) and sandals (symbol of walking the Path of his Inner Father) and eventually the Athenian throne (where he is crowned King, a Maleck, Tiphereth). It is the brilliant blue rock that protects Apache culture hero Child-of-the-Water from his enemies.

Within these symbols it is seen that in addition to uniting in sexual alchemy to engender a physical, yet divine child, the immaculate birth is also a symbol of the Second Birth explained by Jesus to Nicodemus,

Except a man be born of water (of Yesod, the sexual force) and (the fire) of the Holy Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

This second birth occurs internally. The man born of fire and water is the true man, the Superior Manas. Thus the astute reader will recognize the symbols of water and fire as being prolific in the birth stories of world Messiahs. But one must know how to look. For instance, the name Moses in Hebrew is written (in roman letters) as ‘Moshe’. Moshe is comprised of the Hebrew letters Mem, Shin, and He. Mem signifies water. Shin is fire and He is the womb. Therefore the name Moses literally means ‘born of water and fire’. It is only through the worshipful uniting of husband and wife in the sacred science of Alchemy that one may be born of water and fire and incarnate the Human Soul. And when the Human Soul (the Solar Causal Body) is born then the Christ can also be born into the stable of the bodhisattva.

http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-universal-savior/the-immaculate-conception.html (7 of 24)15-11-2006 0:13:22 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - The Immaculate Conception In depictions of Mithra emerging fully formed from a rock, he is only wearing a Phrygian cap (symbol of the pineal gland), raising aloft a lighted torch in each hand (sometimes wielding a sword in one hand), with red flames shooting out all around him from the petra genetrix (the generative power of the Holy Spirit). The lighted torches are “the two Candlesticks standing before the God of the earth” (as stated in “Revelations” of the Christian Bible). They are symbols of the raised serpents of the Kundalini, Ida and Pingala, that indicate the mastery of one born fully formed (the complete human with the fully created solar vehicles) and standing (united with God, the Tetragrammaton).

Similarly, the Aztec hero Huitzilopochtli is said to have sprung from the womb fully formed to immediately engage his mother’s enemies in combat wielding his ‘flaming fire-serpent’ (sword of the kundalini), or xiucoatl. His mother’s enemies are his own sister (the Moon goddess = the lunar forces) and 400 brothers (4 + 0 + 0 = 4 = the inferior quaternary, or the four Bodies of Sin). Huitzilopochtli was immaculately born of his virgin mother Coatlicue, who was impregnated by a ball of down (from the Quetzal bird / Dove of the Holy Spirit) descended from heaven. Coatlicue (“Serpent-skirt”) is herself represented in the image of a human caduceus with two serpents for a head.

In the Codex Vaticanus the virgin Chimalman was visited by an ambassador of heaven who proclaimed God’s will that she should give birth to a divine son. As soon as he left her house Chimalman conceived a son, the Aztec Christ Quetzalcoatl. In some versions of his birth Quetzalcoatl was born (like Mithra and Qi) from a stone, a precious stone of either jade or emerald. Similarly, Ehecatl (whose love with the chaste Mayahuel was symbolized by a beautiful tree) was born from a stone sacrificial knife, indicating a further characteristic of the Twice-born, sacrifice. The three fundamental requirements to be born again are Alchemical Birth, Mystical Death, and Sacrifice. Sacrifice is the primary characteristic of the Christ and is the Third Mountain of the bodhisattva. All things were made by him, and without him was not anything made that was made. The Christ is the crux of all creation, source of all life and light in the universe, that sacrifices Itself moment to moment in order to give birth to the multiple realms and forms upon the eternal Tree of Life. As The Tree of Life is a map of both the organization of the universe and of man, this same sacrifice of the Christ occurs in the internal creation of the vehicles of the soul within any initiate. As above so below. http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-universal-savior/the-immaculate-conception.html (8 of 24)15-11-2006 0:13:22 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - The Immaculate Conception

Thus the virgin maiden Xquic (“Blood Moon”) conceived the Mayan hero-twins, Hunahpu and Xbalanque, when the sacrificed head of Hun Hunahpu (which rested in the Calabash Tree) spat in her extended hand and said, “It is just a sign I have given you, my saliva.” When asked by her father who was responsible for her pregnancy Xquic replied, “There is no man whose face I’ve known…What’s in my belly generated all by itself when I went to marvel at the head of Hun Hunahpu…”

http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-universal-savior/the-immaculate-conception.html (9 of 24)15-11-2006 0:13:22 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - The Immaculate Conception It is written that the birth of Zarathustra (Zoroaster) of the Persians was miraculous. His virgin mother Dughdova was impregnated when the glory of Ahura Mazda (“the Supreme Lord of the Universe”) descended from heaven and entered her house. His soul was placed by Ahura Mazda in the sacred Haoma plant and he was conceived through the essence of Haoma in milk. In another tradition Zarathustra was conceived when his mother was visited by a shaft of light (ala Perseus, Samonocodom, Dung Ming, Nayenezgani, etc.). In yet another account Zarathustra was the son of the great salamander Oromasis. Salamanders are Elementals of fire, referencing Zoroaster as one born of fire. It is believed that his future re-incarnation will also be virgin-born.

The cultures of Great Britain (Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England) share longstanding traditions of Saviors born of immaculate conceptions:

The incomparable hero Chuchulainn was born of the solar god Lugh (his physical father was the prophet Sualtimh, also said to be of virgin birth) and the maiden Dechtire. By the divine grace of Lugh (solar fire), Dechtire was impregnated in a dream while laying by the river Boyne (water). One version of his birth claims that he was born three times (1, physically, 2, as a Twice-born, or Solar Birth, and 3, through Resurrection) and was thus sometimes depicted with three heads (i.e. Brahma, Karttikeya, etc.). A description of him details that his hair stood on end and at the tip of each strand was a spark of fire (Pentecostal fire of the Holy Spirit).

The renowned yet mysterious magician Merlin (from Welsh ‘Myrrdin’ = Hawk or British ‘Moridunon’= sea fortress) was recorded to be of an immaculate birth between a parent from the Otherworld and a virgin maiden of royal lineage.

The great sage and magician Taliesin was the immaculate progeny of the sorceress Ceridwyn. Ceridwyn prepared a potent brew that would reveal all the mysteries of the universe to the one who drank it. It was intended for her son Afaggdu (“Utter Darkness”). But three drops spat out of the bubbling brew onto the finger of a small boy named Gwion (“White, Shining”), who licked them off and immediately received the wisdom intended for Afaggdu. Ceridwyn pursued the boy. He turned into a hare and she became a hound, he turned into a Fish, and she became an otter…and so forth until he became a grain of wheat and she transformed into a hen and ate him. Ceridwyn soon found she was pregnant and in due course gave birth to the reborn Gwion. He was so beautiful that she couldn’t bring herself to kill him. Instead she trussed him up in a leather bag and threw him into the sea (ala Perseus, Karttikeya, Romulus and Remus, Moses, Maui, etc.). He was found and adopted by the nephew of the king of Dyfed, who named him Taliesin (“Shining Brow”). With the innocence of a child, Gwion (the Buddhata, the Essence) utilized the three drops (three solar atoms of the Logos) of bubbling brew (bubbling from the heat of the Alchemical forge) to become the grain of wheat (the Seed) that fecundated (the three lunar atoms of…) Ceridwyn (…Mother Nature) and resulted in his rebirth (second birth) as a beautiful child (the “Golden Child” or Human Soul; Tiphereth = “Beauty”).

There was also a briefly elaborated upon, but highly revered Celtic hero named Mabon ap Modron who was the progeny of a solar deity (fire) and a river goddess (water) of whom little is known despite his abduction three days after his birth and eventual release from imprisonment in the Otherworld by his rescuers to accomplish a great deed. It is the quest of another hero named Culhwych to find and rescue Mabon, with the help of his uncle King Arthur (by most accounts). To find Mabon required consulting four consecutively older creatures as to his whereabouts until being led to the very ancient Salmon of Llyn Llyw. Only the salmon possessed the answer to the question of Mabon’s whereabouts before carrying the rescuers to a great wall saying “Mabon son of Modron is here, and no one was ever so harshly imprisoned.” It required the full force of Arthur’s warriors to break through the wall and rescue Mabon.

http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-universal-savior/the-immaculate-conception.html (10 of 24)15-11-2006 0:13:22 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - The Immaculate Conception It becomes clear that Mabon is the Consciousness imprisoned by Ego. The four ancient animals that lead Culhwych (the Human Soul) to the salmon (the Christ) are the vehicles of the soul (Ousel of Kilgrwri – Physical Body; Stag of Rhendevre – Vital Body; Owl of Cwn Cawlwyd – Astral Body; Eagle of Gwernabwy – Mental Body). They each lead the warrior (Human Soul) to the next wisest creation until he finds the Salmon of Llyn Llyw (the Christ), the only one with the Wisdom he seeks to find and release Mabon (the consciousness and representation of the Solar Causal Body). Culhwych is empowered by his uncle, King Arthur (the Being), and his warriors (freed consciousness) to accomplish this task. Once released Mabon (Solar Causal body of Culhwych) does the will of King Arthur (the Being) and leads the hunt for the powerful boar of Twrch Trwyth and its fierce brood of seven piglets (the Seven Capital Sins/Egos), the death of which results in the betrothal of Culhwych (the Human Soul) to the beautiful Olwen (the Divine Soul).

This entire story is an allegory for the Path of an Initiate to be born again. The Initiate is born again with the creation of the Solar Bodies and symbolic marriage to the Divine Soul. But the task of the Bodhisattva is to Self-realize and create the Body of Perfection. This is a higher form of rebirth that requires the Human Soul to descend into his own abyss and die in all of his ego. This is represented as Culhwych’s final task in which he must descend into Hell and bring back the blood of the Black Witch (related to the drama of resurrection, which will be the subject of further discourse in a later segment of this work).

The name Mabon ap Modron means “Son of the Mother”. By walking in the path of Mabon ap Modron, Culhwych was also a “Son of the (Divine) Mother”, as was the Celtic hero Lleu (“Bright One”) Llaw Gyffes, the immaculately born twin brother of Dylan (“the Sea”) to the maiden Arianrod when she stepped over the wand of Math, magical ruler of Gwynedd. Such “Sons of the Mother” of Celtic tradition were always related with the Celtic Sun-god, were always products of mysterious or virgin births, were always carried or cast away soon after http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-universal-savior/the-immaculate-conception.html (11 of 24)15-11-2006 0:13:22 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - The Immaculate Conception

birth, and were heirs to kingship upon the completion of seemingly impossible tasks. They also inevitably married the most beautiful woman in the world (the Kabbalistic Geburah, the Divine Soul).

The many ancient cultures of Asia boast an impressive representation of virgin, immaculate births. To only name a few:

A nymph bathing in a river in China was touched by a lotus plant, and the divine Fohi (called ‘him who is one and three’), founder of the Chinese empire, was conceived. In another version Fohi’s virgin mother, Moyë, was walking along a river bank, when she became suddenly encircled by a rainbow and conceived a divine son. During her twelve years gestation period she dreamed that she was pregnant with a white elephant (i.e. the conception of Shakyamuni Buddha;see below). Chang Ti’/ Huang Di's mother became pregnant after witnessing a great flash of lightning around the star Dubhe (in Ursa Major). Similarly, the mother of the Chinese hero of the flood, Yu, became pregnant after seeing a falling star pass through the Pleiades. It is also said that Chinese philosopher and teacher Lao-Jun (Lao Tsu) was said to have been conceived by means of a falling star and emerged from his virgin mother’s side (ala Shakyamuni, Indra, etc.; the Human Soul unfolding from the Divine Soul) after a gestation of 80 years (80 = 8 + 0 = 8, see Padmasambhava below) and was reported to be born with white hair (pure, chaste) and the power of speech (the Verb).

In Siam, a wandering sunbeam caressed a young virgin girl, referred to as “the Praying Lady”, and the great and wonderful deliverer, Samonocodom, was conceived.

In the Korean tradition the heroic Dung Ming was conceived when a girl in the harem of the first king of Korai saw a cloud or ray of light enter her bosom. The pregnancy was suspect (implying her Chastity) and the king ordered that she be put to death. But upon hearing her story he let her give birth to the child. Dung Ming was born and despite several attempts on his life by the king, he grew up to be king of Fuyu and founder of the Korean race.

Alan-ko of the early Mongols was said to have four immaculate conceptions (including the birth of Bodunchar, progenitor of Ghengis Khan) upon being visited by a 'golden glittering man' who would enter the domicile by way of the smoke hole (i.e. Zeus with Danae) and stroke her belly, his light penetrating into her womb.

The Chinese Christ, Fu Xi, was immaculately conceived when his mother stepped into the footprint of the god of thunder, or the Great Man. Covered by a marvelous brilliance her belly felt suddenly warmed and she later discovered that she was pregnant. The Chinese hero Hou Chi is believed to have been born in the same way.

http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-universal-savior/the-immaculate-conception.html (13 of 24)15-11-2006 0:13:22 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - The Immaculate Conception

The heroic grandsons of the Japanese sun goddess, Hikohohodemi (“Prince-Fire-Shade”) and Hosuseri (“Prince-Fire-Shine”) were the immaculately born sons of Kono-Hana-Sakuya-Hime (“Blossoms-of-the-Trees-Blooming-Princess”). Because she miraculously conceived on the night of her wedding, her doubtful husband accused her of infidelity. Thus she built a muro, a small dwelling, and at the moment of birth set fire to it exclaiming, "If that which is in my womb is not the offspring of the Heavenly Grandchild, it will certainly be destroyed by fire, but if it is really the offspring of the Heavenly Grandchild, fire can not harm it." Needless to say, she and her fire-born sons (three by some accounts) emerged unharmed from the inferno.

An account of the Buddha Shakyamuni’s immaculate birth is found in the Buddhacarita:

These two (the mother and father of Shakyamuni) tasted of love's delights, and one day she conceived the fruit of her womb, but without any defilement, in the same way in which knowledge joined to trance bears fruit.

It is further written that “Great Maya”, mother of Shakyamuni Buddha, conceived when she had a vision of a white elephant. She dreamt that a beautiful white elephant (an Eastern symbol of the Holy Spirit / The Logos) approached her carrying a lotus blossom and entered her womb. Maya gave birth standing, grasping onto the branch of a tree. This is a clear indication to those whom understand the symbols that she was chaste and having an alchemical (immaculate) birth. Standing = Mastery = having achieved the To Soma Heliakon, the Solar Bodies.

http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-universal-savior/the-immaculate-conception.html (14 of 24)15-11-2006 0:13:22 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - The Immaculate Conception

Grasping the branch of a Tree (the Tree of Life within, the Being) she gave birth to the Buddha Shakyamuni (the “Golden Child”) through the grace of the Holy Spirit. It is also written that Shakyamuni Buddha was born standing and that he immediately took seven steps to declare that this would be his last birth.

The seven steps reflect the triumphant creation of the Seven Serpents (i.e. the seven days of creation in Genesis) and subsequent mastery over nature, the second birth, the standing man. Shakyamuni incarnated his Being (Chesed) and thus transcended the Wheel of Samsara and the Law of Return. Within this symbol is the key to understanding the Septenary nature of the real man revealed by Samael Aun Weor upon quoting the Buddha: “Listen to me properly, for in each human Buddha there are seven Buddhas!”

According to the prevailing versions of his birth, and based on his own dictations, Padmasambhava was born from a lotus blossom (and that is the meaning of his name). A ray of red light (fire of the Holy Spirit) pierced the center of a lake (sexual waters of Yesod) of exceptionally pure qualities (due to transmutation) named Ocean of Milk or The Dazzling Immaculate Lake. A large, immaculate lotus blossom appeared “and from the heart of the Great Compassionate One, I, Padma, the Lotus Born Guru was emanated as the syllable “HRI” (the Verb). The syllable dissolved into light and instantly there arose a beautiful eight-year-old boy perfectly adorned with the characteristic major and minor marks of a buddha. Holding a vajra, trident, and a lotus in his hands, he immediately began giving teachings to the Devas and dakinis of the area. The eight year old Padmasambhava explained his heritage as: “My father is the self-arisen Samantabhadra, My Mother is the sphere of reality, Samantabhadri. My caste is the union of primordial wisdom and Dharmadhatu.”

Regarded as the originator of the Dzogchen school of Buddhism, Garab Dorje was miraculously born to a virgin and daughter of King Dharmasoka of India. He was placed in a burning pit for seven days. Remembering a dream foretelling his divine birth, the princess drew him from the pit unscathed and named him Rolang Dewa.

The Indian Savior and Demon slayer Karttikeya was born from a seed of Shiva (Third Aspect of Hindu Trinity, Holy Spirit), via Agni (God of Fire), who dropped it into the Ganges (waters of life, Yesod). Hence he was sometimes called Agnibhuva (Agni’s son) and Ganga- putra (Son of Ganges), a boy bright as the sun and beautiful as the moon. Karttikeya was (as recommended by Jesus to Nicodemus) born of water (of Yesod, the sexual force) and (the fire) of the Holy Spirit. In another version of Karttikeya’s birth it was written that he was born from fire that fell from the third eye of the god Siva (Holy Spirit) into a lake (waters of Yesod) near Madras. Yet another account made Karttikeya the combined result of the immaculate impregnation of seven different chaste wives of seven sages (it is recorded that seven chaste wombs were necessary for the immaculate birth of Agni as well). This metaphor again accomplishes the aforementioned teaching of Buddha Shakyamuni: “for in each human Buddha there are seven Buddhas!” For it is urgent that every human soul be “born” in each of the seven bodies that comprise the true Human Being. This is only possible through the wise use of ‘fire’ and ‘water’ within the forge of Alchemy.

The Pandava brothers, the central heroes of the ancient Indian spiritual epic The Mahabharata, were each born of a virgin mother (despite several pregnancies) and God(s). It is even clarified for the reader when Surya, the Sun god, offers Kunti the boon “of a powerful child like myself” and she bashfully replies, “Please instruct me how it may be done without my losing my chastity”, the god reassures her, “How could I, who desires the welfare of all beings, cause anyone to commit a sinful act, which leads only to Suffering? Do not Fear. Even after uniting with me, you will remain a virgin.”

This statement is understood by those who understand the principles of Alchemy. And is equivalent to the reason the Greek father of the gods, Zeus, is referred to as The Eternal Virgin despite fathering many heroes through his famous dalliances with mortal women. One who practices Alchemy (White Tantra) is chaste and remains a virgin despite sexual connection, conception, and birth. Chastity is not abstention from sexual connection; it is abstention from the orgasm. As the Golden Child can only be born within one who practices chastity, He is always born of a virgin. And it is the Divine Mother who creates the To Soma Heliakon of the twice-born through the fire of the Holy Spirit, conserved and sealed by the chaste. The Divine Mother, who never falls (unlike the Human Soul), is like Zeus (the Divine Father) The Eternal Virgin and Mother of the Golden Child (the Solar Causal Body of the Human Soul).

http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-universal-savior/the-immaculate-conception.html (17 of 24)15-11-2006 0:13:22 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - The Immaculate Conception It is further evident to students of Kaballah that the five sons of Pandu (the Pandavas) represent the creation of his five solar bodies. It must be remembered that Pandu was cursed to lose his immortality and god-like Powers when he succumbed to lustful Fornication (breaking the 6th Commandment, which is the 1st Commandment of the Human Soul). It is only through the great sacrifices and battle waged by his sons Bhima (Malkuth - physical body); Yudhisthira (Yesod – the Essence, the part of the Monad that never falls and is shaped in the waters of Yesod to one day be crowned king, and make great sacrifices to attain the highest reaches of Heaven); the twins Nakula (Netzach - mental body) and Sahadeva (Hod - emotional body), and Arjuna (Tiphereth - the human soul and warrior) that he is redeemed. The Pandavas are guided by the wisdom of Krishna (the Christ) against their wicked and mislead relatives (the legions of Egos led by the Three Traitors Duryodhana, Shakuni, and Dushashana and encouraged by the power of Karna, Lucifer). (stay tuned for a study of the world traditions of Lucifer)

The heroic works of the Pandavas are only accomplished by leaving the mundane pleasures of the world (identification with Ego) behind and descending into the Ninth Sphere of alchemy (the crossing of the Lingam-Yoni). As Jesus the Christ said unto his disciples,

“If any man will come after me, let him deny himself (dissolve the Ego), and take up his cross (practice Alchemy), and follow me (sacrifice the self for humanity).”

Likewise, the Dhyani Boddhisattva Vajrasattva predicted of Padmasambhava from the arc of a rainbow (the Logoii, the Christ) while accompanied by seventy-two thousand gods (72 = 7 + 2 = 9, the waters of Yesod):

…He will reject the kingdom (the material and sensual plane of Malkuth, which literally means “kingdom”) as rotten.

And eventually through acts of asceticism (sacrifice) and Meditation, Padmasambhava learned many practices such as the arts of extracting elixir from sand (sublimation of sexual force) and transmuting the filth and flesh from corpses into pure food (releasing the life-giving consciousness from the putrid ego). But in order to accomplish the goal of transcending life and death to attain perfect Wisdom (Chokmah) Padmasambhava had to “take up his cross”, which required a spiritual consort to descend into the ninth sphere. Thus he united with Mandarava in a cave, an act for which he was burned on a mountain of oil and wood for seven days (Mandarava was sentenced to a pit of thorns for 25 days, 2 + 5 = 7) by Mandarava’s (Internal) father, the king. Padmasambhava transformed the fire (Holy Spirit) into a lake of pure water (purified waters of Yesod) and appeared on the seventh day in the same form as his immaculate birth – an eight year old child (the consciousness reborn free of ego, The Second Mountain of the bodhisattva) sitting on a lotus. Padmasambhava and Mandarava were offered the nectar of long life as a couple, and attained the vajrasattva (Diamond Soul).

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world the same stories of immaculately born Saviors were being told amidst the Native American tribes. One such story, widespread among the Plains tribes, was that of Star Boy. Star Boy, was immaculately born to a virgin whom fell in love with a star (the inner star of her Being). He was adopted and eventually grew up to be a monster-slayer. At the climax of his adventures he died when a snake (of the Kundalini) entered his body resulting in his resurrection to immortality as the Morning Star. According to the Kiowa Nation Star Boy split into two boys (the phenomenon of twins is a common theme in the Savior tradition which will be a subject of further discussion in the next chapter) early in life, one who eventually disappeared into a lake while the other became tsaidetali medicine. In the Blackfoot version Star Boy’s mother Feather Woman dug up a

She died of sorrow leaving her orphaned son to be raised by Grandmother-Old-Woman-Night. He was frequently maltreated and ridiculed for a very noticeable scar that he wore on his face (the blemish of ego after the fall) and was thus called Poia (Scar-face). Poia went on a great journey to find the Sky-Country and be healed of his scar. For three days, Poia fasted and prayed. On the third day, he saw rays reflecting on “the Great Water”, forming a path to the Sun. He followed the path and arrived at the home of his true grandparents (he was the son of the Morning Star, Venus), the Sun and the Moon. At the request of his grandson, the Sun removed the scar. The Sun also taught Poia great Magic and the truths of the world, which he brought back to his people to relieve their suffering. His grandparents also gave him a magic flute to charm women into falling in love with him (ala Krishna). But because of his mother's disobedience, Poia had to return to earth. However, once he married the chief's daughter (Divine Soul), who had once rejected him (as one scarred with ego), the Sun and Moon (alchemy) allowed him to bring his new wife, to the Sky-Country, where they remained forever.

The legendary Posayamo of the Pueblo was born to a virgin while she ate pine nuts. Changing Woman of the Navajo immaculately conceived the twins Nayenezgani (“Monster-Slayer”) and Tobadjishtchini (“Child-of-the-Water”) when she stepped dripping with water into the light of the sun. Like Poia the twins went on a dangerous journey to reach the house of their father the sun god. White-Painted-Woman was tormented by cruel monsters, and prayed for help. Thus the spirit known as Life Giver came to her in the form of rain (water) and lightning (fire). Life Giver told her she would have a child, who would be called Child-of-the-Water (born from the waters of Yesod). Thus the Apache culture hero Child-of-the-Water was immaculately born to White-Painted-Woman and proceeded to slay the demons that tormented her. Deganawida of the Seneca was born to a Huron virgin and possessed a white (philosophic) stone canoe by which he navigated Lake Ontario (sexual waters) to reform the warring Iroquois (consciousness trapped in Ego). He planted the Great Tree of Peace (Tree of Life), a symbol of the resulting reconciliation. After only seven months a virgin who lived with her mother became pregnant even though she had never been with a man. She gave birth to the boy, Wacdjîgéga (“Hare”). The woman soon died, and the child was raised by his grandmother. Earthmaker (God) had created Wacdjîgéga as the fifth and last of a line of special sons (Trickster, Turtle, Bladder, and Redhorn) for the purpose of rescuing the human race from all evildoers. In the end, he alone succeeded. As the fifth creation of Earthmaker, Wacdjîgéga represents the Human Soul, the Son who does the will of the Father.

http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-universal-savior/the-immaculate-conception.html (19 of 24)15-11-2006 0:13:22 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - The Immaculate Conception According to an Iroquois and Huron story Woman-Who-Fell-From-the-Sky (or Ataentsic, “Eternal One”) received her name when she plummeted through a hole made by an uprooted life-giving Tree (the Tree of Life). The tree, which provided food for the celestial beings, was uprooted when she committed Adultery. In another version she desired to taste of The Great Tree, which it was forbidden to touch (ala the Tree of Knowledge), and sent her reluctant husband to retrieve the delicacies for her. Her cravings led her to peer into the hole dug by her husband at the base of the tree and she fell. She plummeted from the Sky World to the primordial waters that covered the earth. She eventually gave birth to the culture hero twins Little Sprout (or Yoskeha/ Djuskaha) and Flint (or Taweskare/ Othagwenda). In other versions her virgin daughter is said to have immaculately conceived the twins when the breath of the West Wind entered her person. The trickster Flint (stone that gives fire, Lucifer) was always seeking to thwart Little Sprout’s efforts to create a perfect world, saying that people would live too easily and be too happy. The story of their conflicts and compromises crafted the earth.

One of the most ancient and longest enduring traditions on record is that of the Ancient Egyptians. Despite the loss of many texts containing the historical and theological past of this very old civilization numerous accounts of virgin, immaculate births have yet remained preserved. To name a few:

Thoth, like Padmasambhava, was regarded in certain Egyptian texts as self- created or “who came forth from the god himself”, created from the heart of Ra (the Logos). It is revealing to note that Thoth, the symbol of wisdom (the Christ- Mind), was represented by Egyptian priests with virile member erect under which was written "Giver of Reasoning." This was a clear key to those “who hath ears to hear” and eyes to see that real Intelligence is born within the Forge of Vulcan, sexual alchemy. And it is perfected through mystical death and the incarnation of the Christ-Mind. Thoth was even considered the inventor of the Caduceus, originally expressed by the simple figure of a cross (both, of course, are symbols of Alchemy).

Nut, the mother of the Egyptian Savior Osiris, was worshipped as the Great Mother, yet an Immaculate Virgin. This is an indirect reference to the immaculate birth of Osiris, whom eventually became identified as the Divine Father aspect of the Logos and as Brother, and Husband of Isis who was also born of the Immaculate Virgin Nut and her brother-husband Geb. Isis is the Divine Mother of the Egyptian pantheon and the virgin mother of the Egyptian Christ, Horus. Isis conceived her divine child as she fluttered around the murdered body of Osiris in the form of a bird. In addition to being the son of Isis it is established in many accounts that Horus is also her brother, born of Nut. One account that attempts to clarify this relationship depicts his birth as the result of the love between Osiris and Isis while they were yet in the womb of Nut. Thus he is born from Nut as the brother and son of Isis. This apparent ‘jumble’ of interfamilial relationships is an important theme throughout all world traditions.

To cite only a famous few examples: Fu-Xi and Nu-Kua of China, Viracocha and Mama Cocha of the Inca, Shamash and Ishtar of Babylon, Zeus and Hera of Greece, Baal and Anat of Assyria, Freyr and Freyja of the Norse, the Celtic Dagda and Brigit, Okikurumi and Turesh of the Ainu, the Hindu Vishnu and Aditi, Aganju and Yemoja of the Yoruba, etc. To begin to grasp the meaning of such a relationship is to remember that there are 3 Aspects of the Divine Mother in the man: Mary the Wife, Mary the Sister, and Mary the Mother (whom all adore the Christ at the cross).

As explained in The Perfect Matrimony -

"Mary Magdalene, as well as Salambo, Matres, Ishtar, Astarte, Aphrodite and Venus all represent the priestess-wife with whom we must practice sexual magic in order to awaken the Fire (of the Holy Spirit; the Kundalini).”

When a man unites alchemically with his wife in order to do the Great Work, the Golden Child (Human Soul) is immaculately conceived and born internally within the womb of his own particular (eternally virginal) Divine Mother. Within the Perfect Matrimony the man’s wife is also his sister (priestess and priest) on the Path of Liberation and essentially becomes his Divine Mother (and he Divine Father to her) through the alchemical act. Thus she is mother, sister, and wife to him and he is father, brother, and husband to her.

Once immaculately born then the Human Soul incarnates the Divine Father. The Father and the Son become one as affirmed by Jesus of Nazareth,

The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone. - John 8:29 http://www.gnosticteachings.org/the-teachings-of-gnosis/the-universal-savior/the-immaculate-conception.html (21 of 24)15-11-2006 0:13:22 Gnosis - Practical Gnosticism - The Immaculate Conception Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. - John 14:9

Subsequently, there comes a time when the Golden Child (Human Soul) joins, or “marries”, his Mother (Divine Soul). This process is analogized in such traditions as the famous Greek story of Oedipus, and will be the subject of further elaboration in a later section (regarding the universal theme of twins within the Messiah tradition).

When a calf was discovered to possess certain auspicious marks (is black, and has on his forehead a three-cornered white spot, and the likeness of an eagle on his back; the hairs of the tail are double, and a knot under the tongue) then it was paraded through the city with great ceremony as an incarnation of the god Apis. Herodotus writes “By what the Egyptians say, the cow is made pregnant by a light from heaven, and thereafter gives birth to Apis.” This immaculate conception was revered as the god himself. Plutarch concurs that the “Apis was a fair and beautiful image of the soul of Osiris.” A most ancient and powerful symbol of the Divine Mother is the Sacred Cow (Hathor- Isis). The Twice-Born (i.e. Horus) are children of the Sacred Cow. And, as Plutarch asserts, the Divine Father of these Kabirs, or Divine Calves, is the Sacred Bull (Apis-Osiris) called “the lord of life forever.” One who does not understand the esoteric symbols of this exoteric practice would likely pass it off as absurd and not recognize that it contains the very same drama of immaculate conception as the births of many world Messiahs. The Divine Mother is immaculately fecundated by the Sacred Fire of the Holy Spirit and conceives a Divine Child. It is of interest to note that during his twenty-fifth year (2+5=7) the Apis Bull was drowned in a holy spring after which he was associated with Osiris, the dying and resurrecting god. One is reminded that the drama of the Bodhisattva is to be born again (by incarnating the Father, Chesed = 7 Triumph) via the same (sexual) waters by which he must die (egotistically) in order to resurrect in perfection. In the words of the Great Kabir,

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. - Mathew 5:48

In ancient Egypt it was common understanding that Pharaohs born to the throne were incarnations of the sun god. Like the Dalai Lama tradition of Tibet (and the oldest traditions of sovereignty in Britain, China, Japan, Mexico, South America, etc.) the ancient Pharaohs were Masters that were both secular rulers of the kingdom and religious leaders of the Priesthood.

It is written that Queen (and Pharaoh) Hatshepsut was an example of this tradition. The sun god, Amun, is even said to have described his immaculately born daughter of the virgin queen Ahmose Nefertari in his own words: "Her perfume blends with the perfume of the Land of Pont. Gold covers all her skin; she glitters like a star in the hall of Egypt's celebrations; she will rule Egypt and lead all humans."

Within the great temple of Luxor is illustrated the drama of the annunciation, conception and birth of Amenhotep (Amenophis in Greek) III the magnificent, a Pharaoh credited with bringing Egypt to its highest power in ancient times through great diplomatic and economic achievements. The first scene depicts the god Thoth in the act of hailing the virgin queen Mut-em-ua, announcing to her that she is to give birth to a son. In the second scene the god Kneph (assisted by Hathor, the Sacred Cow) mystically impregnates the queen by holding an Ankh cross (a symbol of Alchemy) to her mouth.

As explained in an academic text, "This is the Holy Ghost, or Spirit that causes conception" (Natural Geneses. Massey, Vol. II). In the final scene the child is enthroned, receiving homage from the gods and gifts from men.

Conclusion

The religious forms may change; however, the principles do not change… - The Perfect Matrimony

We need to progressively comprehend that all religions are only one Religion. - The Perfect Matrimony

The drama of immaculate conception is not the exclusive domain of any one religion or world ideology. It is both a real (sexual alchemy) and metaphorical (internal birth of the Human Soul) objective truth in the process of any Savior tradition. When husband and wife unite in chastity, the Holy Spirit provides the fire that fecundates the immaculate waters of the Divine Mother aspect of the Monad. The Divine Mother always conceives her son through the Work and Grace of the Holy Spirit. And she is always virginal, before the birth, during the birth and after the birth. Through this transcendental Maithuna the heat and pressure of the hermetically sealed creative force of the Holy Spirit awakens the fiery serpent of the Kundalini. And it is only through Virtue, the wise use of this “fiery sword,” that the vehicles of the soul are created. The child who is then immaculately born is always a Savior. It is this Golden Child that saves the sincere from the darkness of ego and the fate of those garbed in lunar rags instead of the wedding garments of the soul.

In truth the Savior is the Christ (by other names: Quetzalcoatl, Osiris, Baldur, Vishnu, etc.) that incarnates within the Human Soul that walks the Direct Path. It is important at this point to make a distinction between a Master of the Spiral Path (Nirvani-Buddha) and a Master of the Direct Path (Bodhisattva). Both are born again within the forge of alchemy (raising the seven Serpents of Fire) and incarnate the Being, both die in ego, and both sacrifice for humanity. However, only the Human Soul that chooses the Direct Path, the path of the Bodhisattva, the path of ultimate sacrifice, incarnates the Christ. Within the pages of the Baghavad Gita (ch. 7, verse 3) the Hindu incarnation of Christ (Vishnu) Krishna clarifies for Arjuna (the Human Soul)

Among thousands of men, perhaps one will strive for perfection; among those strivers, one possibly achieves perfection, and among the perfect, perhaps one knows Me perfectly.

The Christ is thus born within the stable of the Bodhisattva. And it is then that the drama of the World Messiah truly begins.
