Chapter One Hell
Unquestionably, these various traditional infernos emphatically allegorize the submerged mineral kingdom.
Remember, good friend, that Dante found his inferno in the living bowels of the Earth; read The Divine Comedy.
SAMAEL AUN WEOR: Great friend, allow me to tell you that the tridimensional world of Euclid is not everything. Clearly, there are various superior dimensions above this world of three dimensions (length, width, and height); obviously, in accordance with the law of polarity, submerged infradimensions of various mineral types exist below this tridimensional zone. It is indubitable that the Dantesque type of hells correspond to the infradimensions.
Occult anatomy teaches us that in our lower abdomen there are seven inhuman chakras or negative vortices of sinister forces: seven infernal doors. It could happen that someone with indigestion because of a heavy meal may activate the infernal chakras by means of the digestive disorder; then those abysmal doors open, as it is clearly taught by the religion of Mohammed. Thus, that night, the individual enters with his personality into the infernal worlds. This is how is possible for the detached personality to penetrate into hell. Yes, it is not difficult for the ego to penetrate into the abode of Pluto.
SAMAEL AUN WEOR: Excellent question. Whosoever wants to discover the laws of nature must find them within himself, since the one who does not find within himself what he seeks, will never find it outside of himself. The ancients stated: “Man, know thyself thus you will know the universe and its Gods.”
