The Seven Words

When the initiate has made the Kundalini of his Astral body arrive at the heart, then in the internal worlds he experiences the symbolic death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Then, in the internal worlds, the initiate lives out the whole drama of Golgotha in his Astral body. His Judas murders him, and a son of Judas stabs the heart of the initiate with the spear that Longinus wounded the side of the Lord. Then the seven terrific words of Calvary are delivered to the initiate; these words bestow to the master power over the seven great cosmic planes. These seven words are written with fiery characters on the seven columns of the terrifically divine temple of wisdom.

The entire drama of Calvary has to be lived within the Astral plane by means of the third degree of the power of fire.

The seven words correspond to the seven degrees of the power of fire and to the seven tongues of the burning fire of the dragon of wisdom.

When the third degree of the power of fire arrives at the heart, the latter shines and becomes resplendent like a Sun of extraordinary beauty.

The third degree of the power of fire totally Christifies the Astral body and totally opens the chakras of the Astral body.

The chakras in common and ordinary people are only the senses of their animal soul [nephesh]. Their chakras are intimately related with the psychic-biological functions of their human organism. The tattvas enter through the chakras and then into our endocrine glands; the endocrine glands then transform the tattvas into hormones.

So, the Astral chakras are the gates of entry for the tattvas.

However when the Astral body is Christified by means of the third degree of the power of fire, then the seven chakras are transformed into the seven churches to which the Book of Revelation (Apocalypse) refers.

We stated in our book entitled The Revolution of Beelzebub that the seven churches are found located within the Soul-Spirit or Body of the Consciousness, this is how it is; nevertheless, when the third degree of the power of fire opens the Astral chakras, these are then transformed into the very seven churches.

Without the third degree of the power of the fire, the chakras are just purely senses of the animal soul. Therefore, whosoever is only concerned with the development of the chakras, without working for their Christification, transforms themselves into black magicians.

The God Agni, god of fire, restores the igneous powers within each of the seven bodies by means of each of the seven great Initiations of Major Mysteries.

Seen clairvoyantly, the God Agni looks like a newborn child; this god is a remarkable majesty of the universe.

Our Astral body is transformed into a living Nazarene, filled with power and glory when we experience the event of Golgotha in the Astral body.

This is why we say in our ritual:

In the Third Initiation of Major Mysteries, the Astral body passes through the symbolic death and resurrection of the Divine Rabbi of Galilee.

Then, clairvoyantly, we see the Son of Man, our Chrestos, on his cross and thereafter, within his holy sepulcher of glass, before the resurrection.

The initiate is then approved by a sidereal power, and the black magicians, full of anger, attack the initiate incessantly. The seven words then make the initiate omnipotent and powerful.

The occult name of the Astral body is Zaphnath-Panneah.

The name of the Astral body is made up of compound names. The first is Zaphnath; this mantra corresponds to our inferior Astral; and the second word, Paaneah, is the Son, our Cosmic Chrestos, which links our physical personality with the supreme immanence of the Solar Father.

Our disciples must acquire the power of Astral body projection. This power is acquired by vocalizing daily for an hour the sacred mantra Egipto. The vowel “E” makes the thyroid gland vibrate and grants the initiate the power of the occult ear. The “G” awakens the chakra of the liver, and when this chakra has reached its full development, then, the initiate can enter and leave the physical body any time at will. The vowel “I,” combined with the letter “P,” develops clairvoyance in the initiate, and the power to depart in the Astral body through the window of Brahma, which is the pineal gland. Pronounce the letter “T” with force over the vowel “O,” which is intimately related with the chakra of the heart; this is how the initiate can acquire the power to project the self through this plexus and thus travel in his Astral body.

The correct pronunciation of this mantra is as follows:

Those who still do not have the ability to project themselves in the Astral body with our clues, lack this power. Therefore, they must first acquire it by vocalizing daily for one hour the mantra Egipto. This mantra develops the chakras related with the projection of the Astral body completely. This is how the disciple acquires the power of entering and leaving the physical body at will. Once the power for astral projection is acquired, the disciple will enter and leave the physical body at will.

The Egyptian mantra that is used in order to project oneself in the Astral body is the following: Faraon. This mantra is vocalized during those moments of transition between vigil and sleep, having the mind focused on the pyramids of Egypt.

The correct pronunciation of this mantra is as follows:

This mantra is for Astral body projections, and as we already stated, it must be pronounced during the states of transition between vigil and sleep, concentrating the mind on the pyramids of Egypt.

However, as we have already stated, the disciples that do not have the power of Astral body projection must first acquire it, by vocalizing the mantra Egipto for one hour daily.

The death, burial, and resurrection of our Chrestos is accomplished within us by means of the Third Initiation of Major Mysteries.

That is, on the third day, our Cosmic Chrestos, our Astral body rises from its crystal tomb (Holy Sepulcher). The resurrection and solemn feast is then attained in the superior worlds of consciousness.

The Inner Master attends his solemn feast without material vehicles of any kind.

The mantra Ephraim has the power to develop all the chakras and powers of our Cosmic Chrestos.

This mantra is pronounced as follows:

All the occult powers of the Astral body enter into activity with this powerful Egyptian mantra.

The vowel “H” is pronounced like a deep sigh, and the pronunciation of the letter “P” gives force to this vowel like when one is blowing out air.

A catholic priest asked an Aztec magician, “How do you name God?” And the Aztec magician answered him with a deep sigh. This sigh was the vowel “H,” this is why the word “breath” has the vowel “H.”

The letter “H” is a vowel, even when the grammarians do not affirm it is. The “H” is the breath of life, the igneous breath, and when combined with the “P,” like this, “PH,” it gives the sensation of pressuring with the lips, the breath of life.

Thus, this is why this mantra contains remarkable powers.

The vowel “E” develops the thyroid chakra and the powers of the mind. The sound “PH” places the igneous breath on all the chakras of the Astral body in order to awaken them. The mantra “RA” forces all the chakras of the Astral body of the human being to vibrate.

The vowel “I” awakens the chakras of the head, and when it is combined with the vowel “M,” namely: “IM,” it acquires a remarkable power that diffuses through all the astral chakras, by animating and enlightening them.

The vowel “M” is pronounced as a sound that is felt in the mouth, but since the lips are closed, the sound has to come out through the nose. The vowel “M” contains remarkable powers.

The entire secret of the resurrection of our Chrestos resides in the silver cup of Benjamin.

The Nazarenes had a chalice as a sacred symbol.

Benjamin is a symbol that represents the very essence of our Astral vehicle; properly, such an essence is our Chrestos, who has to pass through the symbolic death of our Lord Jesus Christ. The silver cup found in the sack of Benjamin is our Holy Grail, our divine chalice, filled with seminal energy, filled with the wine of light or the redeeming blood. We achieve the resurrection of our Chrestos by drinking from the chalice of Benjamin.

By performing an in-depth examination on the resurrection of our Chrestos or the Astral mediator, we can clairvoyantly see an essential depth, a psychic principle, an independent principle, a superior Astral, represented by Benjamin, the beloved brother of Joseph, son of Jacob.

This divine Astral body remains for three days within his crystal tomb or holy sepulcher. On the third day, this superior Astral unites or fuses with the Innermost and thus he rises from his tomb. All of this is the initiatic process of the Third Initiation of Major Mysteries.

Within the legend of Joseph, son of Jacob, is enclosed the initiatic process of our Chrestos.

Joseph represents the Astral body of the human being, and Benjamin represents the Superior Astral, the divine Chrestos, which is contained within the Astral body of the human being (as the silver cup is contained within the sack of Benjamin). Properly stated, the sack is the Astral body, and the divine Astral or Benjamin is our Chrestos, who is Benjamin himself, the superior Astral.

And it is by means of this divine or superior Astral that we return to our Father. Joseph saw his father Jacob again by means of Benjamin.

If we observe a wheat spike, we see how it grows, millimeter by millimeter, under the potent rays of the Sun, until it yields the grain; once the grain is yielded, everything else dies.

The chalice of our sexual energy is found within our Astral body, in other words, within our sack of Benjamin is the chalice whose power creates a type of independent and superior Astral, which after three days in the resurrection is united and fused with the Innermost.

Properly, this new Astral becomes our Chrestos, who abandons the sack of Benjamin. As the butterfly escapes from its chrysalis, likewise, the new Astral escapes from the Astral “sack” within which he was formed, and exclaims: It is written, I will dwell among your loins.

Life feeds with death and death works for life; our old passions die so that life can surge forth.

This new Astral is an ineffable pleroma, it is an aroma filled with perfections, it is the summum of wisdom.

Theosophists, Rosicrucians, and Spiritualists talk a lot about the Astral body and think that they know it thoroughly.But who among them has ever spoken about the third igneous serpent, and about the ultrabiology and ultraphysiology of the superior Astral? Who among them knew that within the Astral body another superior Astral body is formed? Who among these brothers perhaps knows the manner in which our third serpent ascends through the very subtle medulla of our Benjamin or superior Astral?

I bluntly affirm that all the books which have been written in the world about Theosophism, Rosicrucianism, Spiritualism, etc., are completely antiquated for the new Aquarian era, and therefore they must be revised in order to extract from them only what is essential.

Here, I, Samael Aun Weor, deliver unto humanity the authentic message that the White Lodge sends to humanity for the new Aquarian era.

God has delivered unto humans the wisdom of the serpent. What else do they want? This science is not mine; this science is of God. My person is not worth anything; the work is everything. I am nothing but an emissary.

Not all people have the superior Astral; that Astral has to be engendered, and that Astral is engendered practicing Sexual Magic intensely with one’s spouse. This is what is called forming the Christ within us. Based on this, the Gnostics affirm that there are two types of birth: “The birth of the flesh, originated from the coitus, and another different one, for which the coitus is not necessary.” From the first type of birth, that is, from the coitus of fornicators, come forth people condemned to death, and from the second type of birth, that is, from sexual magic or conception of the Holy Spirit, angels come forth, our Chrestos comes forth, the new Astral body or mediator Christ comes forth.

Therefore, the path of the domestic home, lived with wisdom and love, leads us to the ineffable joy of Nirvana.

The woman is the path; the woman is the door.

After the resurrection of our Chrestos, the initiate has to descend into the submerged worlds of the secret enemy.

It is stated that after the resurrection, Christ had to descend into hell in order to take out the souls of our first parents: Abraham, Jacob, etc. from there. This is a living symbol of what the initiate has to live after his resurrection.

It is unfortunate that the Lutheran Bible has suppressed these Biblical passages written in the original text, and there is no doubt that this is due to the very ignorance of the Protestant sects. Even when the Protestants assure us that Luther did the translation from the authentic original Greek, this is not so, because Martin Luther did not know Greek.

Only we, the Gnostics, possess the original Greek texts of the sacred scriptures, within our holy Gnostic Church. The Bible is the sacred book of the Gnostics, and only the Gnostics can understand it.

The Lutheran Bible is based on the works of St. Jerome, which are intentionally defective, since St. Jerome had to channel things according to the interests of Roman Catholicism (according to the orders received from Pope Danasos). St. Jerome was the true author of the Latin Vulgate.

Therefore, before the ascension, Christ appeared many times to his disciples. When he appeared to the holy women, Christ said unto them:

This is how, before the ascension, the initiate has to descend to the submerged worlds in order to destroy the most intimate roots of evil.

Thus, the initiate enters into truly infernal regions, impossible to describe with words.

The ascension comes precisely forty days after the resurrection of our Chrestos.

It would be very difficult to bring the memory of the superior worlds of consciousness into the physical world without the intervention of our Astral body. The Astral body is our mediator and as we have already stated, it is intimately related with our endocrine glands and with our grand sympathetic nervous system.

Each of the senses of the Astral body is found intimately related with the endocrine glands, and because of this it is of indispensable urgency to uproot the Astral body from the submerged worlds and to make it take root in the plane of the Gods, because the Astral is the instrument which we possess in order to link our earthly personality with the Heavenly Man.

Only in this manner can we explain in what form and in what manner the illumination of the Holy Spirit comes forth after the ascension. Let us read these Biblical verses:

In the Second Initiation of Major Mysteries, we are baptized with water, and in the Third Initiation of Major Mysteries, we are baptized with the fire of the Holy Spirit. John baptized us with water, Christ baptizes us with fire.

During these forty days that precede the ascension, the initiate is totally prohibited from all sexual contact, since he must maintain his aura totally luminous and serene, free of any passionate wave.

Only after the forty days, can the initiate continue practicing his rite of Sexual Magic. But during those forty days preceding the ascension, the initiate must transmute his sexual energy through the mind. During these forty days preceding the ascension of our Astral body, we have to inevitably descend into the abyss in order to definitively cut off all relationships, all roots, all ties with the creatures of evil.

There we meet our former colleagues of evil, and there they ridicule us and attack us incessantly. There we have to live, or better said, relive all those tenebrous scenes of the past, and in this way we cut off the roots that unite the tree of our life to the abysses of evil. Now the initiate will comprehend why the master must abstain from the sexual rite with his spouse for those forty days. It is necessary that the aura be brilliant and luminous in order to defend oneself from the potencies of evil, and in order to make it easier for the hierarchies to do the work of uprooting our Astral vehicle from the putrescence of evil.

This labor is very heavy for the hierarchies.

Now the devotee of the path will comprehend the esoteric meaning of Lent. The authentic Lent is not before the crucifixion of the Master, but after his crucifixion. But already the Catholic Church and the other Neo-Catholic, Protestant, Adventist sects, etc., lost the tradition of all of this.

It hurts to see how human beings are profoundly rooted in the abyss of evil. In these submerged worlds, painful scenes of the past surge forth before the initiate, which he has to once again relive in the abyss in order to break every tie with the darkness. This is the farewell that the initiate bids to darkness.

During this Holy Lent, the initiate, while not being a demon, is surrounded by demons. This is why, when Mary Magdalene, after exclaiming, “Rabbi, Rabbi!” wanted to touch the Master, Christ said to her:

Therefore, Christ said to Mary Magdalene, “Do not touch me,” because the Astral body of the Master was surrounded by demons.

Mary Magdalene remarkably loved the Divine Rabbi of Galilee, thus, when she, standing, leaning against a wall, heard the terrible word, “Tibo, Tibo, Tibo!” which condemned the Christ to pass through the event of Golgotha, she was filled with indescribable terror.

The mission of Christ is indeed terrifying. The Lord loaded upon his shoulders all the weight of a very heavy cross.

The Christic force is what redeems us; the blood of the lamb is the blood that saves us from the abysses of evil. The doctrine of the resurrection of the dead is the doctrine of Christ.

During this Lent, the initiate forever breaks those ties that bind the ship of his life to the port of Aeodon (affliction).

In this book, we have talked exclusively about the resurrection and ascension of our Astral body or mediator Chrestos: this is the doctrine of the Nazarene.

In The Revolution of Beelzebub, we speak about the resurrection of our divine consciousness (high initiation), and we also speak in that book about that transcendental ascension (which the Nirvani without residues performs, when it fuses with the Glorian). But now, in this chapter, we will only draw attention to the death, resurrection, and ascension of our Astral body or mediator Chrestos.

The entire initiatic process of the Astral body is found wisely enclosed within the symbolic narration of Joseph, son of Jacob.

Joseph represents the Astral body of the human being, and Jacob represents the Father who is in heaven, the Father Star.

Joseph is sold by his own brothers. All our former companions betray us, sell us, when we resolve to tread the rocky path that leads us to Nirvana.

Joseph becomes the servant of a eunuch, and Christ stated: “There be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake.” [Matthew 19:12]

When Joseph resolves to follow the path of chastity, he is tempted by a woman and goes to the jail of bitterness, slandered and defamed, but faithful to his pledge of chastity.

And in the prison of pain, we have no consolation other than the bread and the wine of the transubstantiation. Christ is the cupbearer and baker.

There, it is only the cupbearer and the baker who suffer for us, that is to say, our redeeming Christic substance which redeems us and frees us from the prison of pain and bitterness, until it brings us before the feet of our internal Pharaoh, our sacred Innermost, our King, who makes us masters and lords of the entire land of Egypt.

This is how we attain the high initiation and prepare ourselves for the resurrection of our mediating Chrestos. The twelve sons of Jacob, in other words, the zodiac (the twelve zodiacal constellations), fashion and transform us, until we find our Benjamin, through whom we resurrect and embrace our sidereal Father once again.

We have already explained in our previous books that the Innermost of each human being is a flame that was detached from the consciousness of a sidereal genie, who is our Father who is in heaven, the Father of our Innermost, our Jacob.

The Pharaoh’s dream is also highly symbolic; the seven years of abundance and the seven years of famine symbolize the seven degrees of the power of the fire, the seven Initiations of Major Mysteries and the bitterness of the seven great Initiations of Major Mysteries, the pains of each of the seven portals.

The silver cup of Benjamin is the semen through which our Astral body resurrects among the dead.

Joseph’s wife Asenath is the Christ-Mind of the Arhat, she is the beautiful Helen, to whom Homer sang his Iliad, she is the daughter of the priest of On, our Innermost, our true Being.

The sons of Joseph are Manasseh and Ephraim. Manases is a tenebrous mantra, within which are enclosed all those forces of evil which removed us from the house of our Father, and which took us out of Eden.

Ephraim is that powerful mantra which makes us fertile in the land of affliction, because it awakens all the powers of our Astral body, and because it contains all the divine forces which allow us to return to Eden.

Our Joseph, in other words, our Astral body, must become free from its imprisonment within corruption so that the resplendent star of Jacob can shine upon his head.

When the Astral body is liberated from the abyss, it returns to the star of his Father, which has always smiled upon him; in other words, the Astral body of the initiate enters into the stellar aura of his Father.

Our Benjamin snatches us from the abyss of evil; in the morning he devours the prey of the light, and at night he divides the spoils, when he uproots our Astral body from the abysses of evil.

I do not mean to affirm that Joseph, the patriarch of Egypt did not exist; what I want to affirm is that the drama of initiation is enclosed within the life of every initiate.

Likewise, I am not denying the seven years of abundance and famine in Egypt, in accordance with the wise dream of the Pharaoh, which Joseph interpreted. There is no doubt that this occurred; but within all this is contained the initiatic drama of an initiate.

The twelve sons of Jacob are merely the twelve zodiacal constellations, within which we have been evolving and devolving.

Therefore, great cosmic truths were left contained within every ancient fable.

The life of every initiate was written related to purely symbolic figures, and it is only among initiates that we can understand each other correctly.

Initiation is life itself; therefore, the life of an initiate correlates to the same drama of initiation.

Let us look at the following verses:

These verses are a purely allegorical narration; for it is completely impossible for an eunuch, someone who is castrated, to have a woman. That is why, in order to understand the Bible, one needs to be a Gnostic, because the Bible is a highly symbolic book, and if we try to read it in the Protestant style, like one who reads newspaper columns, we fall into the most terrible absurdities.

The entire story of Joseph is a sacred chest within which the very drama of Calvary is enclosed. In order to understand the symbolic story of Joseph, the patriarch, one needs to be an initiate.

The third chapter of Genesis shows us how and in what manner man came out of Eden; this is why the chapters that deal with the story of Joseph are in the same Genesis, because they explain to us how the human being came out of the house of his Father, and how, and in what manner, the human being can return to the arms of his Father, and to the ineffable bliss of Eden, to the paradise, out of which he came.

The resurrection of the Son of Man is only possible by drinking from Benjamin’s silver cup, in other words, is only possible by the man practicing Sexual Magic intensely with the woman.

Benjamin snatches us for God and for the Father.

The narration of Joseph encloses the secret to return to Eden, and this is why such a narration is found written in the same Genesis.

The woman tempts Joseph, and Joseph overcomes the temptation: this encloses the clue to Sexual Magic. Whosoever has ears, let him hear, and whosoever has understanding, let him understand, for there is wisdom within.

During this Holy Lent that precedes the ascension of the master, the ineffable verb of the great enlightened beings resounds with a mysterious echo within the closed temple. These are forty days of terrific efforts for the sacred College of Initiates. Thus, the masters, by singing mysterious songs in a sacred language within the closed temple, with the power of their sacred verb detach our Astral vehicle from the profound roots of the evilness of the abyss, within which our Astral body has been rooted since ancient times.

There we must live, or better said, experience again all the tenebrous scenes of the past, like bidding a last farewell to the darkness.

It is a law of Nature to recapitulate past events before initiating new manifestations. This is why before its birth, the human fetus recapitulates within the womb all the past processes of human evolution.

Before initiating the age of the rainbow, our chemical Earth recapitulated the Lunar, Solar, and Saturnian periods.

Therefore, before his ascension, the initiate after his resurrection must recapitulate his entire past within the abyss.

The initiate begins recapitulating the most tenebrous scenes of his past within truly infernal spheres; thereafter little by little he ascends to less terrible spheres and less barbarous scenes.

In the abyss, we experience again all the terrible evils of our past incarnations; here is where we realize what Christ means to us.

Indeed, it would be impossible to come out from within the abyss without the help of the divine savior of the world.

The doctrine of the resurrection of the dead is the doctrine of Christ.

Dead are all human beings, and only by means of the blood of the martyr of Golgotha will all human beings be able to resurrect.

When the human soul resurrects from among the living dead, the soul then becomes an angel, unto whom all the marvels and powers of the subtle worlds are disclosed; thus, all the veils are lifted for the initiate, who is transformed into a god of the universe.

This is the doctrine that Christ taught secretly to his seventy disciples.

Therefore the doctrine of Christ is the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead.

We, Gnostics, understand as “dead” the living dead, in other words, the entire humanity.

We call all human beings “the living dead” because of the following reasons:

They do not see, nor hear anything of what occurs in the internal worlds.

They are subject to illnesses and death.

They do not know how to handle the universal forces.

They are subject to pain and bitterness.

They do not have power over the mysteries of life and death nor do they know them.

They die against their will and are born against their will; they do not know how they are born or die.

They are inhabitants of the abyss.

Now then, we, Gnostics, teach that the resurrection of the dead is only attainable by means of initiation.

The resurrection of the dead is performed on the soul and not on the physical body.

The former verses completely demonstrate that the resurrection of the dead pertains to the soul and not to the physical body.

It would be absolutely ludicrous and completely laughable to believe that in order to resuscitate at the end of the sound of the great trumpet (within the grave) the bones will join the bones, such as Protestants, Catholics, Adventists, Presbyterians, etc., naively believe. Only those who do not possess divine understanding can accept such an absurdity.

Therefore, the resurrection of the dead is only attainable by means of the occult wisdom!

A child of resurrection has the following powers:

Sanat Kumara, the Ancient of the Days and lord of the world, was the founder of the College of Initiates of the great, universal White Fraternity. This great being is one of the Four Thrones of whom the Holy Bible speaks. He has been living in Asia for many millions of years with the same physical body that he brought to the Earth since the times of Lemuria. Death has not and shall never have power over him, because he is a child of resurrection, and death has no power over any child of resurrection.

Master Morya, master of the ray of Mars, dwells in the Himalayas, at the edge of a road. He dwells in a humble house; he has innumerable disciples, and his present body has an age of more than nine hundred years. Against Master Morya, death has not and shall not succeed either, because Master Morya is a child of the resurrection of the dead, and death cannot succeed over any son of resurrection.

Death only has power over the weak, over cowards, over the living dead, over the children of the Great Whore who have been incapable, who have not had the courage to put an end to their filthy fornication.

Master Kout-Humi is also well known in the West and belongs to the ray of wisdom. He is also of an indecipherable age, and has his sanctuary on the snowy peaks of the Himalayas. He is another child of the resurrection, and death has not succeeded over him, because death only has power over fools, over fornicators and adulterers.

Master D. K. (Djwal Khul) is another child of resurrection, another superman who has known how to take advantage of his sexual energy. This Master belongs to the ray of Mercury; he helped Master H. P. Blavatsky, by dictating to her a great part of The Secret Doctrine. He presently possesses the same physical body that he had in the year 1675, and death has not had power over him because he is a child of the resurrection.

Let us now mention Paul of Tarsus. This master is presently incarnated and is Master Hilarion. Such a master is the author of the book entitled Light on the Path. Master Hilarion unfolds in the ray of science. He is a master of the ray of Mercury.

Master Serapis, master of the ray of Venus, is another child of resurrection. He is of an incalculable age; he directs the world art.

Master Rakoczi is the same Count Saint Germain, Roger Bacon, and Francis Bacon. This master directs world politics. He presently lives in Tibet, and possesses the same physical body with which he was known during the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries in all the courts of Europe. The centuries have passed over this master without death having any power over him, because he is a child of resurrection. This master is of the ray of Jupiter.

Each of these masters belongs to a certain ray, for there are seven rays of cosmic evolution:

What Theosophists state about initiates entering another cosmic ray in each Initiation of Major Mysteries is not true.

Each master evolves and unfolds in his own ray, and never changes rays. In the internal worlds, each of the seven rays has its temple of mysteries.

I, Samael Aun Weor, master of the ray of Mars, give testimony to these things, not because I have read it through books (as is done by those who theorize), but because I have lived it. I am a child of the resurrection, and I give testimony of the resurrection of the dead, because I, Aun Weor, resurrected among the living dead, and my duty as initiator of the new age of Aquarius is to give testimony of the holy doctrine of the divine rabbi of Galilee, so that this holy doctrine of the savior of the world is spread over the entire face of the Earth without distinctions of race, sex, caste, or color.

Each of these rays has its chief:

These are the seven rays of which the Theosophists have spoken so much and to which they have dedicated entire volumes, without ever having given the exact and concrete explanation about them. The Theosophists have described the rays in such a nebulous and vague manner that they really do not meet the inner aspirations of the soul. Indeed, Theosophists need to become practitioners; the teachings of the Theosophical Society are useless to anyone because they lack practice.

Every human being can know to what ray he belongs by merely counting the transverse lines on his forehead.

Those who have a single line belong to the Lunar ray.

Those who have two lines belong to the Mercurian ray.

Those who have three lines belong to the Venusian ray.

Those who have four lines belong to the Solar ray.

Those who have five lines belong to the Martian ray.

Those who have six lines belong to the Jupiterian ray.

Those who have seven lines belong to the Saturnian ray (read Zodiacal Course by the same author).

All of us, the masters of the seven rays, are “children of the resurrection,” and we have all gone through the bitterness of Calvary; we have all experienced within ourselves the ascension of the Lord.

No master ever leaves his ray; each master works only in his ray. The chief of our ray is our Father, who is in heaven. No master ever abandons his Father who is in heaven; that is why it is impossible for a master to go from one ray to another, as the Theosophists believe.

I, Aun Weor, am the son of my Father Samael, and even when in my past I evolved under the rulership of different planets, I was never able to leave the ray of Samael, because Aun Weor is a spark emanated from the flame of Samael; therefore, I came from Samael, and I returned to Samael. Thus, I have always had five lines on my forehead in all my reincarnations.

In the ascension of the Lord, our Astral body becomes liberated from the abyss and ascends within the luminous aura of our Father, who is in heaven.

As if descending from the blue of infinity, Sanat Kumara (in whose name all initiations are received) appears radiantly upon the holy altar when the inner master kneeling before the sacred altar of the Third Initiation of Major Mysteries receives his Initiation.

The sublime presence of this Ancient of the Days is indescribable.

His grey hair (that seems to have never been touched by scissors) falls over his shoulders. His white beard and majestic face reveal to us the likeness of God.

Sanat Kumara with his semi-nude body, holding a staff with his hand, resembles an Adamite.

Sanat Kumara is the outcome of millenary purifications.

The Third Initiation of Major Mysteries is received by the Inner Master within the superior worlds of consciousness, and he attends his initiation without material bodies of any kind.

This ancient doctrine of initiatic resurrection was known by all the Gnostic sects of olden times, by all the initiatic societies of the past: Nazarenes, Peratae, Pythagoreans, etc. The resurrection was cultivated in the mysteries of Egypt, Greece, Rome, Babylon, Syria, India, Mexico, Peru, Troy, Carthage, etc.

The resurrection was the doctrine of the Essenes; the resurrection was the doctrine of the sages of the past; this is the wisdom of the Gnostics.

Isis always lives resurrecting Osiris by means of the sacred phallus.

The wisdom of sex is the foundation of every authentic school of mysteries. This is the lingam-yoni of the Greek mysteries.

Redemption resides exclusively in Sexual Magic.

By means of Sexual Magic and perfect sanctity, everyone can become a master of Major Mysteries of the great, universal White Fraternity.

The scientific process of ascension produces in the body of the initiate a process of biological transformation, whose symptoms express themselves in the form of decline or organic weakness, especially when the hour of dusk arrives.

However, that does not mean illness or organic weakness as such, but simply, fleeting phenomena, which are the outcome of the transformation of the Astral body during those forty days of the ascension of the Lord.

It is logical that every transformation of the Astral body originates a similar transformation in the catalytic cellular processes, and in the electro-biological mechanism of our endocrine glands, which like marvelous laboratories transform the tattvas into different biochemical substances, whose most diverse combinations, in the end, define themselves as hormones.

The Astral body has its seat in the liver. If we examine the word “higado” [Editor’s note: the Spanish word for liver], we see that it has three letters: I, A, O. Diodorus stated in one of his verses: “Know that among all the gods, the most elevated is IAO. Hades is in the winter. Zeus begins in spring, Helios in summer, and in autumn, IAO enters into activity, working constantly. IAO is Jovis-Pater; he is Jupiter, who is unjustly called Javhe by the Jews. IAO offers the substantial wine of life, while Jupiter is a slave of the Sun.” (Page 97, The Gnostic Church, by Huiracocha, fourth edition.)

It is necessary to detach the Astral body from the infernos of the human being.

In the esoteric chamber related with the zodiacal sign of Virgo, we are taught that the roots of the very tree of existence reside in the womb. An in-depth examination of the intestines permits us to corroborate this affirmation. Observe the curious analogy that exists between the roots of trees and the roots of the tree of our own life. These roots are our intestines, so intimately related with the zodiacal sign of Virgo.

Just as the roots of trees absorb their life from the clay of the earth in order to transform it into nutritional sap, which spreads through all the veins and cells of the tree, likewise our intestinal roots wisely extract from food, the most diverse vital principles, to nourish with them, the marvelous tree of our own organic biology.

Just as the clay of the earth is found at the profound seat of the roots of the trees, likewise in the profound seats of our lower abdomen and of our liver (like strata, spheres or submerged worlds constituted by the atoms of the secret enemy) the infernos of the human being are found.

During these forty days of the ascension of the Lord, the creative hierarchies have to detach our Astral body from these infernos of the human being, where we experience again and recapitulate all the tenebrous scenes of the past.

That recapitulation begins after the resurrection of our Chrestos.

This recapitulative process is initiated beginning with the most tenebrous submerged sphere of the universe, which is bloody red in color, and in whose horrible abysses live all the monsters and evils of the world.

Thereafter, by recapitulating all our tenebrous scenes, we ascend little by little through different strata, regions or planes of the atoms of the secret enemy.

Nineteen days after the resurrection of our Chrestos, a certain layer of atomic substance of the Astral counterpart of our abdomen is torn away by the hierarchies.

Such a layer, similar to the skin of our human organism, is like the door to the infernos of the human being, formed by the atoms of the secret enemy.

This closed door keeps the human soul prisoner within the abysses of evil.

Once this thick atomic layer of the Astral counterpart of our abdomen is removed, the masters then have to medicate this zone of our abdomen.

Naturally, all these diverse transformations of our Astral body inevitably have repercussions upon our inner organic biology, originating symptoms of fleeting organic weakness and sporadic manifestations of hunger in the physical body of the master.

If we break up the number nineteen in the following manner: 1 + 9, it gives us the sum of ten.

Now then, the entire progress of the devotee of the path is based on the numbers 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10. Now my disciples will understand why it is that in precisely nineteen days, the atomic door that keeps the Astral body prisoner within the infernos of man should be torn away.

Naturally, we will explain to our disciples that the state of imprisonment to which we refer, is only referring to the vital essence of our Astral body; in other words, to the very roots of our marvelous Astral vehicle, enclosed within the profundities of the abyss; these roots are the submerged essence of the very roots of our organic tree. These are the infernos of the human being, from which our Astral body must be detached. Thus, this is why the entire progress of the student is based on the number ten. The ten sephiroth of Kabbalah are based on the number ten. These ten sephiroth are the following:

These three sephiroth are the Sephirothic Crown.

Then the seven sephiroth proceed in the following order:

These ten sephiroth live, evolve and progress within the consciousness. The human being is the same sephirothic tree. It is very interesting that man has ten fingers on his hands, and that the Decalogue is made up of Ten Commandments. Now the devotee of the path will comprehend the importance of the number ten. Now my disciples will understand why nineteen days after the resurrection of our own Chrestos the atomic door is torn away by the masters from the infernos of the human being.

When Paul of Tarsus wrote his Epistle to the Philippians, he still did not attain the resurrection. Let us look at the following verses, which will prove my affirmation:

Nevertheless, Paul has already achieved the resurrection and is presently incarnated once again; he is Master Hilarion, author of the book Light on the Path.

This is the doctrine of the first fathers of the Gnostic-Catholic Church. To this doctrine belonged Basilides, Saturnius of Antioch, Simon Magus, Carpocrates, founder of various convents in Spain, Marcion of Pontus, Saint Thomas, Valentinus, St. Augustine, Tertulian, St. Ambrose, Ireneaus, Hyppolitus, Epiphanius, Clement of Alexandria, Marcus, Cerdo, Empedocles, St. Jerome, etc. This is the ancient doctrine of the Nazarenes, of the Sethians, the Peratae, the Valentinians, the Justinians, etc. This is the ancient doctrine which was known in all the ancient schools of mysteries, and which Christ taught in secrecy to his seventy disciples. This is the secret science that I, Samael Aun Weor, am diffusing publicly to initiate the age of Aquarius. This is the secret doctrine of our divine savior; all this Gnostic wisdom is enclosed within The Pistis Sophia.

The book Pistis Sophia consists of four parts. The first and fourth parts do not have a title, but the second part of this book has a title that reads: “Part of the volumes of the Savior,” and at the beginning of the second book the following inscription is found: “Second book of the Pistis Sophia.” This refers to the greatest book of all the Gnostic doctrines, which was published in Latin in the year 1851 by Schwartz and Petermann, according to a codex of the London Museum entitled Askeniean (whose age is dated back to the third century, although some believe that it is of the fifth century, Opus Onosticum Valentinus Adjuticatum est codice manuscripto Coptico Londinense descripsit et latine vertit M. G Schwartze version of The Gnostic Church by Krumm-Heller, page 12, Fourth Edition).

Therefore, the esoteric doctrine of the resurrection, as we are teaching it here, is enclosed in the one hundred forty-eight chapters of The Pistis Sophia, and in the profound esoteric wisdom of the holy Bible.

It is a pity that Master Blavatsky did not find the Gnostic treasures.

The doctrine of the holy Gnostic Church is the wisdom of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Let us now proceed with epiphany: this old word comes from Greek. Epiphany is the ascension, revelation, or manifestation of Christ in us, after the resurrection of our Chrestos. This ascension takes us to the illumination of the Holy Spirit after having recapitulated our entire past within the profound abyss of evil.

With epiphany we receive illumination, but during the forty days which precede the ascension, we sink into profound darkness.

To reach the very elevated heights of the resurrection appears to be very distant and difficult to many brothers and sisters, but everyone who puts an end to fornication will soon reach those ineffable peaks.

The Bible tells us the following:

With this verse, the Bible, which is God’s word, teaches us that the redemption of the human being resides exclusively in Sexual Magic, because the undefiled bed, separated from fornication and adultery is only possible by practicing Sexual Magic with one’s priestess-spouse, instead of the filthy coition.

And in this manner, following the path of sanctity, we prepare ourselves for epiphany, and we realize in ourselves the Christ-Being.

It is necessary for every initiate to pray daily to God. Every prayer must be accompanied by a cup of wine and a piece of bread. “Do this in remembrance of me,” said our divine savior.

The Roman priests monopolized the holy unction, and due to this, wretched humanity lost twenty centuries without it. Brethren of mine, pray always, and thereafter eat the bread and drink the wine. I owe this solemn teaching to the Angel Aroch, Angel of command.

Each person can, while alone, pray and persevere in the partaking of the bread and wine.

The most powerful prayer is the Our Father.

The bread and wine should always be placed on a clean and perfumed cloth. The bread and wine can only be brought to the mouth after praying.

Through the bread and wine, billions of Christic atoms, which come to awaken all our occult powers, enter our human organism.

Christ, in his capacity as the Cosmic Christ, said:

Now, with this teaching, every human being will be able to Christify himself by means of Sexual Magic and of the holy eucharistic unction.

All our brethren must always have the bread and wine at hand, and persevere daily in the holy unction.

The prayer is always performed on one’s knees.

It is necessary to know how to pray: to pray is to converse with God.

When the Angel Aroch, angel of command, taught me this marvelous clue of the Gnostic unction, he also taught me how to pray.

Unutterable are those ineffable moments in which the Angel Aroch, in the form of a child, on his knees and with his hands together over his chest, raised his very pure eyes towards heaven. At that instant, his face seemed on fire, and full of profound love, he exclaimed: “Lord, Lord, do not let me fall, do not ever let me leave the light,” etc. He then broke the bread and gave us to eat, and he poured into a small silver jug the wine: he served the wine in some cups and gave us to drink.

These angels no longer use the old lunar Astral body; they only use the superior Astral body, our Benjamin, and that is why they resemble children of indescribable beauty.

They are the children of the resurrection; these are the children of life, and only terrific lightning emerges from within their foreheads.

With the help of these angels, one can transport oneself in the “Jinn” state in the body of flesh and bones to the most remote places of the earth. During the state of transition between vigil and sleep, one can invoke any of these Angels, begging them to transport us with the physical body to the place that we wish; and if the angel considers our petition to be a just one, he will transport us to the desired place: it will be enough to rise from the bed full of faith, but preserving sleepiness. (See Chapter XII of Acts in the New Testament).

The Benjamin of a master is a precious acquisition; it is sufficient for a master to think of a specific person or distant place to find himself there in a few instants, seeing and hearing everything that happens.

When the days of the ascension of the master are already approaching, the latter begins to perceive, in the superior worlds of consciousness where the light of the Spirit shines, a closed temple whose doors will open after forty days to receive and accept him as an authentic dweller of the ineffable worlds of the pure Spirit, where the ineffable love of the Father shines.

Ecstatic, the internal master contemplates that sublime ineffable temple, upon whose triangular dome rests the white dove of the Holy Spirit, with his divine likeness of an elder.

Inside the internal master, within whom our beloved Benjamin has been totally absorbed, our divine consciousness vibrates intensely.

Now then, we must know that between our divine consciousness and the old Astral body, there fortunately exists a terrific ray of the Cosmic Christ, in other words, the third degree of the power of fire, which unites our old Astral body with our divine consciousness.

This Christic ray is the mediator between the Astral and the internal master, within which the ineffable life of our Benjamin is agitated.

The Christic ray, or Kundalini of the Astral body, is therefore like the sacred hand of the divine savior of the world, which takes us out of the abyss and tears us away from the darkness forever.

It is like the saving hand of the master, which extends itself towards us to lift us to the ineffable temple of the Father.

Christ comes to us like a thief in the night, when we least expect him. The awakening of the Kundalini of the Astral body or Christic ray is like a terrible ray of lightning. In the beginning, the Astral Kundalini (ray of Jesus Christ) has a beautiful, resplendent, white color, but when it has reached its total development, it then has a sublime golden color, full of indescribable splendor.

And it is through the third degree of the power of fire how Christ fulfills his word that he pledged in that solemn pact, signed with blood in the event of Golgotha.

When the third degree of the power of the fire manages to come out through the superior part of the cranium, it takes up the mystical shape of a white dove with the head of an elder: this is the dove of the Holy Spirit, which remains resting on that triangular dome of that ineffable temple, waiting for the sublime hour, the ineffable moment in which all the lent days of the master have passed in order for the doors of the temple of the Father to open.

At the door of that majestic temple where the light of the Father shines, two images of our Astral are seen, waiting for the solemn hour in which the doors will open.

Within the abyss, on the thirty-third day of tenebrous recapitulations, our three inferior vehicles, or better said, the psychic consciousness of our three inferior vehicles is examined with fire.

It is necessary to examine these three inferior vehicles in order to know the outcome of these tenebrous recapitulations within the abyss.

Then, a hierarch casts three loaves of bread on the ground, and these three loaves of bread explode like fiery bombs, and become scorching fire.

And there among the flames of scorching fire, we then see three beautiful maidens resisting the test of fire.

These three maidens are the psychic consciousness and the ethereal principles of our physical, vital, and astral bodies.

If any of these ladies or beautiful youths succumb to the fire, or better said, were to flee or tremble with terror, or faint within the igneous flames, it would have then been verified with this examination that our stone is poorly forged.

In this case, the master would be postponed, until achieving the polishing of each one of his facets with the hard emery of pain.

Thus, when the diamond of our soul has already been polished and shines with all of its splendor, it is only then that the Master is totally prepared for the ascension of the Lord.

These three damsels are the soul of each of our three inferior vehicles.

In order to attain the ascension, we have to extract from each of our three inferior vehicles a pure and beautiful spiritual extract.

These three bodies of sin have to give us a divine triune soul, for God and for the Father.

This is the mystery of Baphomet.

Our physical, vital, and astral bodies are marvelous.

In this examination we see a fourth loaf of bread that does not enter the state of ignition, because it symbolizes the Mental body and the Fourth Initiation of Major Mysteries, to which the master has access only after the ascension.

When the master comes out triumphant from this test of the thirty-three days, he is then shown an old defective lamp, which represents our old submerged world, and he is told: “That is no longer good.”

The former quoted phrase means that the past has already given its fruits and the false light of the tenebrous Lucifers and the false light of reasoning are no longer good for anything. Now we need a new light, the light of the pure Spirit, the light of Christ, the ineffable light of the Father.

Once the thirty-three days have passed, and after the examination to which the triune soul of our physical, vital and astral bodies is submitted, the master acquires terrible powers over the tenebrous forces of the abyss.

By dominating passionate temptations during this Holy Lent, the initiate steals from the devil all the powers and becomes omnipotent and powerful.

Then, a transformation in the metallic sound of his voice is produced.

Then, ardent temptations no longer produce within him those states of ardent arousal. He has stolen the fire from the devil, thus, the devil no longer has a Mendes. This is the terrible secret of Baphomet: light emerges from within the darkness, and the rose, which perfumes the air with its delightful aromas, extracts its marvelous perfume from within the very mud of the earth. The mystery of Baphomet is simply a mystery of Alchemy.

After these thirty-three days, the swollen waves of seductive temptation will in vain knock the steely shield of the warrior with their lust.

The master has now become of steel, and passions no longer provoke in him the torture of Tantalus, the terrible desire for coition.

Now the master is a dictator of strength; now the master is a terrific warrior, because he stole power from the devil, and the frightened darkness flees terrified.

Before, the swollen waves of the Red Sea looked at him with infinite provocation, and the master suffered the terrible ardor of passionate thirst, against which he valiantly held the sword of will. Now, the swollen waves of the Red Sea look at him terrified, and the darkness, crying, flee terrified.

This is the mystery of the male goat of Mendes. This is the terrible secret of Baphomet.

The feet of the thrones of the masters are made of monsters, and the sacred objects of the temples are sustained on animal-like pedestals.

Three days before the ascension of the Lord, the initiate begins to enter regions of ineffable beauty, because Nature does not make any leaps: Natura non facit saltus.

The day is always preceded by the aurora, and a grown-up must first be a child and then an adolescent.

Precisely thirty-seven days later, the initiate, in his Astral body, must review the twelve zodiacal constellations, within which he developed and evolved, in an analogous manner to the development and evolution of the fetus within the maternal womb.

The zodiac is the womb of our solar system and the cosmic womb of our souls.

Each of the twelve zodiacal constellations has its own color.

The light of Leo has a beautiful golden-yellow color, and the initiate reviews all the twelve zodiacal constellations in reverse order until he reaches Leo. This constellation governs the heart, which is the temple of the Innermost: now our disciples will comprehend why we make a complete turn around the zodiac until we reach Leo.

We are the children of the lords of the flame, whose dwelling is in the constellation of Leo. Our evolution begins and ends in Leo.

Spiritually, each human Spirit has his Father who is in heaven, but the lords of the flame endowed us with a spiritual body and a carnal body, and it is from this point of view that we are children of the lords of the flame.

Light is seminal substance. Thus, the semen of the twelve zodiacal constellations developed us within the uterus of this zodiac.

Light is always accompanied by the luminous verb.

The substratum of the spoken word is the Solar Word. We already know that the Logos sounds. Now then: there are twenty-four vowels that the initiate sees and hears. These twenty-four vowels correspond to the twelve zodiacal signs.

The twenty-four melodies of the zodiac resound throughout the whole of creation with the entire grandiose euphoria of the Mahamanvantara. That is the Word of God, sustaining the universe firmly on its march. (Read Logos, Mantra, Magic by Krumm-Heller (Huiracocha)).

Once the Holy Lent is completed, the ascension of the Lord follows, and the initiate is then received with a great feast and delightful music in that ineffable temple of the kingdom of the Spirit.

The night of the ascension is very interesting. The house of the initiate is invaded by millions of black magicians, who, full of anger, try to apprehend the master, offended to see that one more soul escapes them to head towards the ineffable kingdom of light.

In the temple, the master must ask for the dove of the Holy Spirit.

The ascension of the master is announced by four angels of the temple, who, facing the four cardinal points of the earth, each blow their trumpet, and then the Son, that is to say, our Astral, is lifted upwards, towards heaven, and in this manner are fulfilled the holy scriptures, which textually say the following:

As of that instant, the master is received above, in the superior worlds of consciousness, and the seven words of Calvary make him omnipotent and powerful.

The Son of Man is our soul, who now sits upon the throne of glory.

The throne of the Innermost is the throne of the Father, thus, whosoever overcomes, sits with the Father on his throne. And in this manner, the word pledged by Christ on Mount Calvary is fulfilled.

Christ came in order to fulfill this, to save humanity, and it is only in this way, in this manner that Christ saves humanity. The Gnostic scriptures state the following:

This is the message of Aquarius: this is the message of the new era.
