It came to pass then, when Jesus had finished speaking these words unto his disciples, that he said unto them: “Understand ye in what manner I discourse with you?”
Andrew came forward and said: “My Lord, concerning the solution of the sixth repentance of Pistis Sophia, thy light-power prophesied afore time through David in the one-hundred-and-twenty-ninth Psalm [Modern Psalm 130], saying...”
Andrew and his cross are something profoundly significant.
The cross of St. Andrew on which he died crucified is alchemical.
There are terrible psychological tortures through which we must pass in order to disintegrate the Dry Mercury, in other words, the psychic aggregates, which are the living personification of our psychological defects.
The Sulphur (fire) and Mercury (water) are crossed in the form of an “X,” and they cross again incessantly in the Great Work.
The Mercury of the wise is the metallic soul of the sperm.
The metallic soul of the sperm must be fecundated by the Sulphur.
Andrew and his doctrine is the struggle for the disintegration of the psychic aggregates.
Andrew, with his cross, must crystallize the Sulphur and the Mercury in the form of the existential, superior bodies of the Being.
The Sulphur and the Mercury, crossed in the first octave, crystallize in the form of the Astral Body. In the second octave, they take the form of the Mental Body, and in the third octave, they take the form of the Causal Body.
It is indispensable to possess these bodies in order to receive the psychic principles and to convert ourselves into real human beings.
The interior Andrew perfects himself when the superior existential bodies of the Being have been perfected.
It is not possible to perfect these bodies unless we have previously eliminated the psychic aggregates, the living personification of our psychological defects.
Andrew must disintegrate the Dry Mercury and the Arsenic Sulphur.
Andrew must crystallize the prepared Philosophical Mercury.
Andrew suffers when disintegrating the Dry Mercury.
Christification would not be possible without the previous disintegration of the Dry Mercury.
When the existential bodies are perfected, they become pure Gold.
Creating the bodies is only one part. To perfect them is urgent and not to be delayed.
Andrew interpreteth the sixth repentance from Psalm CXXIX [Modern Psalm 130]
1. Out of the depths I have cried unto thee, O Lord.
2. Hearken unto my voice; let thine ears give heed to the voice of my supplication.
3. O Lord, if thou heedest my iniquities, who will be able to pass [the test]?
4. For pardon is in thy hands; for the sake of thy name have I waited for thee, O Lord.
5. My soul hath waited for thy word.
6. My soul hath hoped in the Lord from the morning until the evening. Let Israel hope in the Lord from the morning until the evening.
7. For grace standeth by the Lord and with him is great redemption.
8. And he will deliver Israel from all his iniquities.
The Ordeal of the Sanctuary is very difficult. Very few human beings are capable of passing such a terrible ordeal.
The interior profound Lord knows very well what our iniquities are. We will pass the terrible Ordeal of the Sanctuary by disintegrating these iniquities.
This ordeal contains in itself all of the ordeals.
In itself this ordeal is multiple ordeals.
The Omnimerciful forgives many errors, if we truly deserve forgiveness.
The Soul always waits for the word of the Lord.
It is not enough to hear the word, we must perform the word within ourselves, here and now.
Whosoever hears the word and does not perform it is like a man who sees his reflection in the mirror and turns and walks away.
The Soul awaits the interior, profound Lord.
Israel hopes for the Lord from morning until evening.
Israel is a word that must be analyzed.
“Is” reminds us of Isis and the Isiac mysteries.
“Ra” reminds us of the Solar Logos.
Let us remember the disc of Ra found in the ancient Egypt of the Pharaohs.
“El” is “El.” “El” is the interior, profound God within each one of us.
In sequence and correct etymological corollary, the people of Israel are constituted by the various parts of the Being.
All of the multiple self-cognizant and independent parts of our own individual Being constitute the people of Israel.
The grace of the interior Lord falls upon us when, in reality, we have passed through the Buddhist Annihilation.
Jesus commendeth Andrew. He promiseth that the tyrants shall be judged and consumed by the wise fire
Jesus said unto him: “Well said, Andrew, blessed one. This is the solution of her repentance. Amen, amen, I say unto you: I will perfect you in all mysteries of the Light and all gnoses from the interiors of the interiors to the exteriors of the exteriors, from the Ineffable down to the darkness of darknesses, from the Light of lights down to the... of matter, from all the gods down to the demons, from all the lords down to the decans, from all the authorities down to the servitors, from the creation of men down to [that] of the wild-beasts, of the cattle and of the reptiles, in order that ye may be called perfect, perfected in all fullness. Amen, amen, I say unto you: In the region where I shall be in the kingdom of my Father, ye will also be with me. And when the perfect number is completed, so that the Mixture shall be dissolved, I will give commandment that they bring all tyrant gods, who have not given up the purification of their light, and will give commandment to the wise fire, over which the perfect pass, to eat into those tyrants, until they give up the last purification of their light.”
Obviously, Andrew will perfect himself in the mysteries of the Light with his cross in an “X” and with his complicated and terribly difficult work, which is to crystallize that which must be crystallized and to disintegrate that which must be disintegrated.
The tortures of St. Andrew are sufficient for his purification.
Nevertheless, we must not forget our individual, interior Andrew.
Each one of us has his own Andrew.
Behold here what is terribly difficult, which is to perfect him from the interiors of the interiors to the exteriors of the exteriors.
In the Great Work, Andrew, suffering on the sexual cross, must perfect himself from the Ineffable down to the darkness of darknesses, from the Light of lights down to the darkness of matter, from all the gods down to the demons.
Andrew must perfect himself by virtue of conscious works and voluntary sufferings, from all the lords down to the decans, from all the authorities down to the servitors, etc.
Each one of the parts of the Being must reach total, integral perfection.
Andrew is one of the autonomous and self-cognizant parts.
Andrew is integrated with the Father when perfected within each one of us.
Let us remember that we need to perfect each one of the twelve within ourselves, here and now.
The perfect number within each one of us is the sum total of all the autonomous and self-cognizant parts of our own individual Being.
There are the twelve, and the twenty-four, and the seven and the four, etc..
There exists within ourselves the Twelve Powers.
There exists within ourselves the twenty-four Elders of the Zodiac.
There exists within ourselves the four Devarajas, or the four elemental Genii, etc.
The lion of the law is within us.
Obviously, the Lord of time can give back the memories of our past lives.
Within each one of us is our own particular, individual Anubis. He applies the law of karma to us, within ourselves.
The Divine Mother Kundalini within ourselves has five aspects, allegorized by the white cow with five legs.
H.P.B. really did see an authentic white cow with five legs in India. There is no doubt that it carried the fifth leg on its back and with this leg it was scaring away the flies or scratching itself with it.
H.P.B. states that this curious creature of nature was herded by a young boy from the Sadhu sect. This virgin boy nourished himself exclusively with the milk of this mysterious cow.
Within us is Minerva, She who gives us wisdom.
The Guardian of the Threshold is within us.
The Guardian of the Threshold can never be disintegrated, because it is part of our own individual Being.
The Guardian of the Threshold is a full length mirror that shows us the psychological state in which we find ourselves at each given moment.
We have the Guardian of the Threshold in the astral, mental, and causal planes.
There are three Guardians of the Threshold, three parts of our own individual Being.
Each one of the three parts is autonomous, individual, and self-cognizant.
There is a policeman of karma within us, within our consciousness. He conduces us before the tribunals of the law when we violate the law.
The Being is a true army that must be perfected and integrated.
The whole work is sexual. There is no other way.
The independent parts of the Being are many, and we must perfect each one of them.
We have not given notice to all the parts of the Being because we would need volumes in order to talk about them and their work.
When the Being becomes integrated and the horrifying mixture of the diverse, undesirable psychic elements which we carry within our interior become dissolved, then the perverse tyrants will fall.
The tyrants that we carry within our interior are the capital factors of our abominable psychic processes.
Mary interpreteth the words of Jesus
It came to pass then, when Jesus had finished speaking these words unto his disciples, that he said unto them: “Understand ye in what manner I speak with you?”
Mary said: “Yea, Lord, I have understood the word which thou hast spoken. Concerning then the word which thou hast said: At the dissolution of the whole Mixture thou shalt take thy seat on a light-power and thy disciples, that is ourselves, shall sit on the right of thee, and thou shalt judge the tyrant gods, who have not given up the purification of their light, and the wise fire will bite into them, until they give up the last light in them, —concerning this word then thy light-power prophesied afore time through David, in the eighty-first Psalm, saying:
“‘God shall sit in the assembly (synagogue) of the gods and try the gods.’”
The Divine Mother Kundalini, Marah, Mary, the Woman-Serpent, knows very well that when the undesirable psychic elements that we carry within our interior are dissolved, then the inner Christ, being all Light and power, takes his place within our Soul.
All the disciples of the inner Christ reside within ourselves. They are precisely the diverse autonomous and self-cognizant parts of our own Being.
The tyrant gods are really those autonomous and independent parts of the Being who are bottled up in lights that are not the Christic Light. Yet, they persist in purifying their light, which is not the Light of the Lord.
For example, and in order to clarify the previous paragraph, we will say that in the world there are certain religious forms that lead only to a dead-end street. However, their parishioners persist in purifying and sanctifying themselves within these cages.
We must renounce these doctrines. We must have the courage to abandon these cages.
What is important is that which is within us.
Gnosis is knowledge. In Gnosis, Self-Gnosis is Self-knowledge.
The wise Fire will bite into the tyrant gods until they renounce the many doctrines that exist in the exterior world.
We must abandon all in order to arrive to the inner Christ.
When we say abandon all, we are referring in this case to the diverse, dead religious forms.
Someone can fight for his very own purification in a completely mistaken way.
We march correctly only on the path of Self-Gnosis.
God shall sit in the assembly (synagogue) of the gods and will submit them to a trial.
Jesus said unto her, “Well said, Mary.”
