One does not reach High Initiation with the intellect, but with the heart. Consequently, there are true Masters of the White Fraternity who do not know how to read, nor to write. Nevertheless, they are great illuminated sages. The intellect never attains Initiation. Only the heart attains the Golgotha of the High Initiation. The majority of people have their heads filled with absurd theories and ancestral prejudices; they do not open their minds to anything new.
the Vestibule of the Sanctuary By Julio Medina V. “The truth is like a tempest: it causes wreckage. “The common man is pleased with praise and displeased when told the truth, because his best buddy is deceit. “People delight more when they hear talk of fallacies than truths. They are fascinated with falsity and astounded by the truth.
The man of the city has become an idolater of the “Golden Calf,” in other words, of money, which is an invention of the same man. He classifies and justifies everything by means of money; in synthesis, money has become the utmost aspiration of this present civilization.
It is not possible to welcome pleasure without greeting the presence of pain, its twin brother; and on the other hand, the fact is that, as
Thus, comfort is what has made the man cowardly; this is why he is afraid of life, death, tomorrow, and what people might say. Thus, the courageous man evades comfort because he is not afraid of life, death, tomorrow, and what people might say.
Ignorance causes man to look for happiness from without and not from within himself. The present man thinks that he can attain and obtain everything with money, yet money can only offer him pleasures, never happiness.
The mind of man will have to become free from the ties of desire, fear, hunger, the soft life of anxieties of accumulation, egotism, because all this hypnotizes the mind and incapacitates it to discern between reality and illusion, the mutable and the immutable, the useful and the useless, as well as between the most useful and the least useful.
Our thought must integrally flow, without the process of “options” that divides the mind into opposed opinions. Our mind must flow calmly, integrally, with the sweet flow of thought, guided solely by intuition, which is the voice of the Innermost, the flower of intelligence; straight action,
straight effort, and perfect fullness are the outcome of it. The evocative flame of the new era is the light of thought.
It is urgent to affirm that during such a maha-samadhi (ecstasy without end), we (the Monadic waves) penetrated much more deeply, and thus we arrived to the Father, Brahma, the Universal Spirit of Life.
Therefore, when the dawn of this new Cosmic Day was initiated, the eternal Mother Space expanded herself from inside out, like a lotus bud. This is how this universe was gestated inside the womb of Prakriti.
In the time of ancient Egypt, the neophyte who aspired to become an Alchemist had to wed a mature woman in order to awaken the divine fire. But, if he married a young maiden, he had to wait some months before executing the sexual connection. Obedience to his wife was one of the matrimonial requirements, to which the Alchemist submitted with great gladness. To introduce the virile member into the feminine vagina and to withdraw it without spilling the semen is the old formula of ancient alchemists…
Chapter 2 Arcadia
Ah! He is Beelzebub, the king of parties, the simpatico friend of taverns, the joyful friend of orgies, the romantic, handsome, broad-minded man from ancient Arcadia…
Humanity is a womb where angels and demons are gestated. Therefore, the only outcome of humanity is nothing else but angels and demons…
outcome is an angel or a demon… Beelzebub was a great rebel who shook his head and his tousled mane amidst the cups and delights of Arcadia… He had longings for wisdom, but his rebel eagle wings did not fit among the parochial rabble. His tremendous and fierce word, with its magnificent and luminous proverbs, disturbed the imbeciles and unmasked the traitors… The fire of eternity was burning within his soul and a scream of rebellion was shaking his titanic innermost parts; yet, he was enjoying all kinds of commodities and he was abiding in a comfortable and luxurious house of Arcadia, which was his rebel eagle’s nest…

Certainly, these human beings of Arcadia were remembering ancient cataclysms and beautiful millenarian traditions from pre-Saturnine epochs… but within the complete apogee of the human state, life was similar to that of the present time…
Chapter 3 White Magic and Black Magic There are seven truths, seven sublime
Abbadon is the angel of the abyss. He wears a black tunic and a red cap, like those worn by the Drukpas and Bons from oriental Tibet and from the regions of Sikkim and Bhutan, also as worn by the black magicians from the altar of Mathra (pronounced “Mazra” by the Rosicrucian school A.M.O.R.C. from California).
The Innermost is our Divine Spirit, our real Being, our internal Angel. The Guardian of the Threshold is the internal depth of our animal “I.”
“V.I.T.R.I.O.L.” is one of the clues of the Gnostic Alchemist. The word signifies: Visitam Interiorem Terre Rectificatum Invenias Ocultum Lapidum. “Visit the interior of the earth, which through rectifying you will find the occult stone.”
The Kundalini awakens with this clue. We finally attain the marriage of Nous, and we conquer the beautiful Helen, the one for whom all the illustrious warriors of ancient Troy fought.
Chapter 4 The Two Ways
Beelzebub learned the vice of gambling, and he laughed happily while in the bacchanalia amidst the bare sound of the dice and the happy and triumphant pop of another bottle.
Yet, lo and behold, a mysterious personage was never absent within the orgy. This ominous personage with a sinister face wore a black tunic of Arcadian style and great rings of gold were always shining in his ears.
If Beelzebub would have followed the narrow and straight way which leads towards the light, he then would have become a lord of the mind, a son of the fire, like his most beloved friends. However, liquor, pleasure, gambling, and fornication with its exotic flowers of malignant and seductive beauty hypnotize the weak and take them into the abyss.
Also, a lens in the form of an eye is placed upon his neck in order to have influence over the important centers of his subconsciousness. When the disciple awakens upon his bed, he does not bring back any memory of what happened in the Astral plane. The black magicians have their mysticism, and they always firmly believe that they walk on the good path. No black magician believes that he walks on the evil path. The path of black magic is a broad way filled with vices and pleasures.
The black magicians love fornication, and in order to justify themselves, they say such is a divine relationship. The black magicians know well that the souls who move away from their Innermosts eventually disintegrate themselves into the abyss.
The black path is easy and open. So, Beelzebub, the handsome and simpatico gallant of ancient Arcadia was oriented in this easy and happy path…
Once there, the soul is united with its Innermost and immortalizes itself and reaches the ineffable souls of pleroma. The lethargy of impenetrable centuries weigh upon the august and sacred mysteries. The Word made flesh lies in the bottom of our sacred ark awaiting the supreme moment of our resurrection.
Chapter 5 The Staff of the Patriarchs
He knew the course of his seminal currents, and he awoke his Kundalini negatively through the procedures of fornication and concentration, as taught by Necromancy. The twilight of the cosmic night extended the velvet of its mysterious wings over the profound valleys and over the enormous and gigantic mountains of ancient Arcadia.
The ancient beauty of Beelzebub, the handsome gallant of Arcadia, had disappeared. His body was covered with hair and he took on the resemblance of a gorilla. His eyes took on the criminal and horrible aspect of a bull. His mouth became gigantic and, with its horrible teeth, presented as the snout of a voracious beast.
During passionate fornication, the black magicians take advantage of the moment of seminal ejaculation by means of mental concentration. This is done in order to exert the ascension of the vitalizing hormones, that are segregated by the sexual glands, towards the head. Then, with their mind, they take the hormones into the heart, which then sends them towards the big toe of the right foot. This is how they awaken their Kundalini in a negative way, and convert themselves into the monster with seven heads to which the book of Revelation (Apocalypse) refers.
If we spill the semen (reach the orgasm), then we convert ourselves into devils, and if we do not spill it, we convert ourselves into angels. If the serpent ascends, then we are Gods, but if the serpent descends, then the tail of the demon is formed in us, and we become demons. The tail of the demon (the Kundabuffer) is a prolongation of the Astral counterpart of the coccyx and is the result of the movement of the serpent, downwards, towards the earth.
This igneous serpent is thick in those who have accumulated a lot of christonic substance (semen), but it is thin in those who have not stored a lot of sexual energy. The positive awakening of the Kundalini is accompanied by a great festivity within the temple. Terrible pain is produced in the coccyx. Afterwards, the serpentine fire opens its way upwards, towards the head. The passing from one canyon into another is performed in accordance with the moral merits of the disciple.
Chapter 6 I Accuse
Here we clairvoyantly see Beelzebub, the prince of demons, surrendered to the worst crimes, an active member of a great temple of black magic.
The black magicians from the altar of Mathra are magicians of the red cap, as are the Bons and Drukpas from Tibet. The black rituals of this day and age come from this tenebrous Atlantean temple and not from Egypt as they falsely claim. I, Aun Weor, the very ancient Hierophant of Egyptian Mysteries, accuse the Black Lodge before the verdict of the public consciousness of the crime of fraudulence. I accuse this black institution of the crime of attributing to us, the ancient Egyptians, the rituals of black magic, which we never used in Egypt.
Chapter 7 The Atom Nous, The Solar Period
Chapter 8 The Mind and Intuition The intellectual man lives in his head with its seven portals. The brain is made in order to elaborate thought, yet it is not thought. The brain is nothing but an instrument of the Mental Body. The Mental Body is a material organism, yet it is not the physical organism. The Mental Body has its ultra-biology and its internal pathology, which are completely unknown to the present men of science. The Mental Body is enveloped by a silken membrane, which protects it and keeps it in line with the cerebrospinal nervous system. This covering is the Silver Shield of the Mental Body. This shield is completely covered by certain “truncated cones.” These are called “modules,” which are the senses of the Mental Body.
There also exists in our Mental Body certain senses which allow us to receive wisdom from distinct stars. The lower counterpart of our Shield forms the convolutions of the brain.
The Silver Shield shines like gold when we practice Sexual Magic because millions of transformation atoms of high voltage cover it and totally transform it. Hence, the awakening of the consciousness and the aristocracy of intelligence truly arrive. Then indeed we can talk of having mental erudition and transformational ethics.
How can the oversexed person talk of having a creative mind? Do they not know that the thoughts which are not penetrated by the Determinative Energy of Nature (sexual energy) become disintegrated? Do they ignore that the Determinative Energy is the sexual force?
A Damiorfla person does not bend himself before the potencies of evil, neither is he a slave of maya (illusion). Whosoever wants to study the book of oriental wisdom entitled Azug has first of all to submit himself to great and terrible Initiatic ordeals. I received this book from the hands of the authentic Master of wisdom Kout Humi (K. H.).
The reasoning person believes that he can attain the truth through the struggle of antithesis, but this struggle only divides the mind and incapacitates its ability to comprehend the truth. The intuitive person knows how to listen only to the voice of the silence. Thus, within his serene mind, the eternal truths of life are reflected with splendid beauty. The reasoning person converts his mind into a battlefield filled with prejudices, fears, anxieties, fanaticism, and theories, and his conclusions are always favorable to him. Yet, such a turbulent lake can never reflect the sun of truth. The mind of the intuitive one serenely and silently flows very far away from the black struggle of antithesis and from the storm of exclusivity.
The mantra Aum Masi Padme Yum develops intuition when it is daily vocalized for ten minutes. This mantra is vocalized as follows: Ooooommmm mmmmaaaa ssssssssiiiiiiiii padddddmeeeee yommmmmm. This is the mantra of intuition.
The mind of the intuitive one is the sacred cup of Pleroma, the sacred cup of Samadhi, the liquor of the Gods. It is the Soma, drunk by the Lords of the Mind. It is the liquor of love, the Buddhic liquor, which is the wine of light already transmuted within the igneous vessel of the beautiful Helen. It is the cup of the immortal Gods!
He was a black magician who had a tall and robust body. All of his black chelas (disciples) profoundly venerated him.
The Innermosts (Monad-Spirits) of this present humanity acquired the body of the Human Spirit, called the Body of Willpower, which Krishnamurti despised so much.
Willpower is the power with which we can dominate our passions in order to convert ourselves into Gods.
I, Samael Aun Weor, visited that temple in my Astral Body. The Masters who dwell there welcomed me with open arms. They led me towards the interior of this monastery, which was illuminated by a seven-armed candelabra of massive gold, similar to the seven-armed candelabra of gold from the Temple of Solomon. I then received from them secret teachings.
In the East, the Mahatmas are called “Nagas”—that is to say, “serpents.” This is why all of the guardians from the sacred crypts of the temples of mysteries have the figures of gigantic serpents who only allow initiates to enter.
All of these hedonistic parrot cages are nothing but dens of business and tyranny. We gain nothing from their gibberish, because they serve only to fill us with prejudices and absurd fanaticism! The entire wisdom of all ages is within ourselves. Past and future are joined within an eternal now!
It was the Age of Gold; it was the age of the Titans. It was the delectable time of Arcadia, a time in which “what is mine and what is yours” did not exist, because everything belonged to everybody. It was the time in which the rivers poured forth milk and honey.
There have been two wars against the black magicians: first, the war in Arcadia, and second, the one in the year 1950, the date in which the pit of the abyss was opened. The latter is the war related with the millennium. The third war will be the one related with the new Jerusalem.
The horns of every black magician are certainly the mark of the beast. These horns belong to the Guardian of the Threshold, who becomes the superior “I” of the black magician. Ariman, a great black hierarch, wears a red turban and is chief of enormous legions. Lucifer was the greatest black Initiate from the Lunar epoch; his legions are numerous.
Chapter 13 Atlantis
The cerebrospinal fluid and the semen are the poles of the sexual energy. The angel has the two poles upwards, towards his head.
When the human being delivered himself to the pleasures of coitus, he lost his occult powers. Thus, the words of Jehovah were accomplished, when he said:
The Lemurians did not know death. They knew the exact date and hour of their disincarnation, and so they dug their own tombs. They abandoned their own body by will and with a smile on their lips. They also never disappeared from the sight of their relatives, because they were clairvoyant. They kept coexisting with the dead because death was simply a passage into a different state. But when the human being lost his powers because of coitus, then he knew death.
Chapter 14 Black Magic of the Atlanteans
Do not covet powers, beloved reader. Powers are born as fruits of our Innermost when our soul has been purified.
Let us purify ourselves, since powers will be granted to us through successive purifications. Powers are flowers of the soul and fruits of the Innermost. The powers of a Mahatma are the fruits of many purifications.
For instance, when the Gnostic wishes a distant friend to come near to him, then he begs his Innermost as follows, “My Father, I beg you to bring near to me [name the person], but not as I will: as you will.”
The black magician proceeds to use his so called “asuncion” or willpower without taking into account the will of his Innermost.
We prepare our pituitary and pineal glands for clairvoyance by dominating anger and acquiring serenity. We prepare ourselves for the awakening of the inner ear when we always utter words of love and truth. Sexual Magic, daily vocalization, and incessant purification take us towards the summits of the High Initiation. To not covet powers does not signify that we, the Gnostics, take on a passive attitude, as do the Theosophists. We have to prepare ourselves by practicing Sexual Magic, by vocalizing, and by expelling all of the rubbish from ourselves.
These ordeals are always occurring with the interruption of many days between each one, and the next ordeal is given only if the student has been triumphant in the previous one.
Each triumph of the disciple is celebrated in the Children’s Hall with ineffable music and feasts. Each one of the four ordeals has its special celebration. The Children’s Hall is so named because the disciple is received by the Masters who have taken on the shape of children, in order to tell him:
The four ordeals within the White Lodge are in order to examine the white disciple’s morals. For instance, in the ordeal of fire, the disciple is attacked by crowds of enemies who insult him. Instead of returning insults, the disciple returns love towards his enemies. This is how he triumphs in this ordeal, when with serenity, he passes through the fire without becoming burned.
For the Gnostic in the White Lodge, the ordeal of water is given with the sole purpose of knowing what level the disciple’s altruism and philanthropy has reached. The White Lodge’s ordeal of air is given with the sole purpose of knowing the disciple’s capacity for resistance against great adversities, and for detachment from material things. It is logical that a disciple who commits suicide because of a loss of fortune cannot pass through the ordeal of air. By simply not being capable of morally resisting a failure, it is clear that one does not pass the ordeal of air. Whosoever succumbs to the grave inconveniences of life fails in the ordeal of earth. There are many persons who have passed these ordeals within the very struggle of life, within the daily battle of obtaining their daily bread.
Sometimes in life there have been human beings who have traced a great plan for the benefit of humanity, and they have accomplished it with exact fullness, in spite of all misfortunes, sufferings, and tears. These people have passed the four ordeals in their bodies of flesh and bones.
All of these ordeals occur in the Astral plane. The prepared disciple—that is to say, the disciple who has spiritual maturity—brings the memory of all of this to the physical plane, just as if he had a dream. On the other hand, in the Black Lodge, in order to become triumphant in the ordeals the only thing that matters is to have the courage of a brute beast.
A Dhyan-Chohan is one who has already abandoned the four bodies of sin, which are the physical, Astral, Mental, and Causal Bodies. A Dhyan-Chohan only acts with his Diamond Soul. He has already liberated himself from Maya (illusion); thus, he lives happily in Nirvana. The sacred crocodile is the Innermost. The Innermost is the flame with three immortal wicks. These three wicks are the Innermost’s Diamond Soul, his igneous Mind, and Atman, his own spiritual body. Nirvana is a region of Nature where the ineffable happiness of the fire reigns. The Nirvanic plane has seven sub-planes.
The Nirvanis say, “We are in the first hall of Nirvana or in the second hall of Nirvana, or in the third, or in the fourth, or fifth, or sixth, or in the seventh hall of Nirvana.” To describe the ineffable joy of Nirvana is impossible. There, the music of the spheres reigns and the soul is enchanted within a state of bliss, which is impossible to describe with words.
We can visit Nirvana with our Astral Body. The yogis from India, while in the state of Samadhi, visit Nirvana with their Mental Body or Causal Body. However, to pretend to visit Nirvana with black magic procedures is the breaking point of madness.
We, the Gnostics, laugh at death. We have the secret in order to mock the mute skull, and as we previously stated in the first chapter, we will make the inopportune guest (death) flee with the sword of Damocles.
I, Samael Aun Weor, was always observing Beelzebub in the Astral plane. I tried to gain his affection because what kept calling my attention was the overwhelming fact that he was irradiating love towards his friends. He was a very rare and unique case among his kind, because I had never heard of a demon whose aura irradiated a blue light, which is that of love. Certainly, he was always hurling terrible threats upon me. Yet, I always defeated him with my mantras, and thus I accompanied him into his caverns within the Astral plane. I reached even to the point of taking part in his feasts, pretending to be a black magician, and even his comrade. This was in order to more closely study this personage.
My disciples considered this task to be something truly impossible. Beelzebub did not stop threatening me; nevertheless, in spite of everything, I did not dismay.
He accepted our invitation, and we went into a restaurant of the Astral plane. As we already explained, the Astral Body also eats elements which are related to its organism. Thus, the Astral world is almost similar to our own physical world.
Then, Beelzebub took the floor and, in a profoundly sad tone, said, “Everybody despises me; the only one who does not despise me is my friend Samael Aun Weor.”
Some people would see the fact that the Astral Body can eat and drink as something impossible, because their unsound mysticism is always telling them that the Astral Body is something vague, a vaporous fluid, an intangible and non-material body. Considering they are only theorists, it does not occur to them to verify it.
Time and distance do not exist for the Astral Body, and what one learns through it remains immediately recorded within the consciousness of the Being, forever.
Beelzebub was really overwhelmed before the tremendous luminosity of that ineffable region. Its beauty and happiness are indescribable. Yet, he felt terror, because for four eternities Beelzebub had lived within the darkness of the tenebrous caverns.
Really, everything was new for Beelzebub. He was feeling discontent because he was accustomed to living among the veiled prophets, and the tremendous luminosity of that plane was horrifyingly bothering him.
There you find souls of prostitutes who by means of too much copulation became totally separated from their Innermost. Now, while lying down upon their filthy beds, they are disintegrating themselves like candles, melting with the fire of their passion.
The Glorian is the Great Breath that is profoundly unknowable to itself. It is a breath from the Absolute, one of the many breaths of the Great Breath. The Glorian is the “Atmic Thread” of the Hindus. It is the Absolute within us, our own individual Ray, the whole of our real Being made in glory.
This internal beast was a terrible obstacle for his evolution. It was necessary to cast this beast out from him in order to liberate him from this internal monster that held him in bondage for innumerable ages.
Those schools are nothing but a theoretical “cage of parrots,” because in reality these know-it-alls of materialism
truly do not know anything else but the grossest states of matter. For example, what do they know about occult chemistry, the anatomy, and the ultra-biology of the internal bodies of the human being?
However, the Major Brethren had foreseen everything very well. The “chela” Beelzebub incarnated himself in France, in a feminine body. Now Beelzebub is a beautiful girl in France, who will overwhelm the world because of her sanctity, power, and wisdom. Her parents have a young and beautiful marriage in which only love and comprehension reigns, because both are initiates. They are laborers, yet they enjoy a simple and beautiful life.
The most divine Gods are those who have been more human; the most divine Gods are those who were Devils.
“The Absolute is the Being of all Beings. The Absolute is that which Is, which always has Been, and which always will Be. The Absolute is expressed as Absolute Abstract Movement and Repose. The Absolute is the cause of Spirit and of Matter, but It is neither Spirit nor Matter. The Absolute is beyond the mind; the mind cannot understand It. Therefore, we have to intuitively understand Its nature.” - Samael Aun Weor, Tarot and Kabbalah
Aquarius is the Water Carrier, whose occult significance is Knowledge, the bringer of Knowledge.
Arcadia: Arcadia was a symbol in Greek and Roman mythology for an earthly paradise, where one found
Pan, the god of woods, fields, and flocks. Arcadia was described a terrestrial paradise in which there was no danger, and everyone lived a life of peace and harmony with nature. Arcadia hides many meanings.
Ego: The multiplicity of contradictory psychological elements that we have inside are in their sum the “ego.” Each one is also called “an ego” or an “I.” Every ego is a psychological defect which produces suffering. The ego is three (related to our Three Brains or three centers of psychological processing), seven (capital sins), and legion (in their infinite variations).
“The Being and the ego are incompatible. The Being and the ego are like water and oil. They can never be mixed… The annihilation of the psychic aggregates (egos) can be made possible only by radically comprehending our errors through meditation and by the evident Self-reflection of the Being.” - Samael Aun Weor, The Pistis Sophia Unveiled
