Health
Spiritual success is very difficult if our physical body is sick or weak. The Gnostic teachings provide a very scientific and practical way to establish good health so that our spiritual efforts will bear fruit.
"Psychology has discovered that a person’s character depends on his internal state. Character does not develop in the physical body, but it expresses itself through it, and if the physical body is not in a good state, then our internal side cannot express itself efficiently." - Samael Aun Weor, Introduction to Gnosis
2: The Pancatattva Ritual
This is a transcription of the audio lecture 2: The Pancatattva Ritual, which you can download for free. From the point of view of Gnosis, in fact, in any real spiritual tradition, we understand that everything that exists has its origin in the womb of the Divine Mother. That womb is a vastness, an emptiness we call the Akash or Akasha. It is a primordial substance, but it is also not a substance. You could say it is “undifferentiated matter,” but it is before matter. It is called Mulaprakriti, which is the great womb of Divine Mother space, and from that womb arises everything that exists, everything that manifests. So, in synthesis, we are saying that all atoms, all matter, all energy in its root is derived from this womb. The womb of the Divine...
3: The Metallic Planets of Alchemy
This is a transcription of the audio lecture 3: The Metallic Planets of Alchemy, which you can download for free. This lecture follows the previous two which we gave; this is related with physiology or the way in which the energies relate with our physical body, our mind, psyche and spirit. Now, we are going to enter directly or to repeat something a little bit more in detail about the metals. Remember that we said that the metals of the earth, the metallic veins of the earth, its metallic kingdom, are like the nervous system of the planet earth. In the Hebrew Bible, in the book of Genesis, we read a sentence that states...
5: The Five Causes of Illness (Transcription)
This is a transcription of the audio lecture 5: The Five Causes of Illness, which you can download for free. This lecture is related to the course on Transformation of Energy. It relates to what we taught in the four previous lectures. So, if you didn’t read the four previous lectures, it is necessary for you to do it so that you can better understand this lecture. Now, it is necessary to comprehend and understand what the Glorian is, in order to comprehend and understand what we state on the Five Causes of Illness. In Hinduism and Theosophy, you hear about the Trimurti, of Atman, Buddhi, Manas. Yet here, we talk about the Glorian, which, we have to understand, is made by another Trimurti that is above the Trimurti of Atman,...
6: Tantra - The Continuum
This is a transcription of the audio lecture 6: Tantra - The Continuum, which you can download for free. In Gnosis, we study nature as a comprehensive whole. We do this in order to be very complete and very synthetic in our understanding of the laws that manage our very existence. Gnosis is very vast and comprehensive in its scope; broad understanding is very important in order to understand ourselves and our place in the universe. Life is not as simple as it appears to the five senses. Materialistic science has made some progress towards understanding that, particularly those who have been investigating the mechanics of the very small, such as the quanta and the mechanics of atoms. These investigators have been discovering laws and functions of energy and matter, which decidedly transcend the understandings of science of even 10, 20, or 50...
Cultivated Fruit
Modern scientists with their foul wisdom are eliminating the fruits that great nature has provided for our nourishment. In this day and age, grafted vegetables are fashionable. With their foul wisdom, North American scientists have made of the fruits a true festivity for the eyes. One is astonished when ones sees the size of oranges, limes, grapes and apples from California. There is a saying that states, “All that glitters is not gold.” This is a very wise saying. These fruits are the products of grafted plants. Already these fruits (with all of their astonishing beauty) contain practically none of what Mother Nature provided them with for the normal existence of all of its creatures. Modern scientists are very far from even suspecting that when any plant is grafted it cannot capture the special type of cosmic vibratory waves that are fundamental and necessary for life; therefore, it is logical that within the vital depths of such fruits an adulteration is...
Panchatattva Ritual
In the midst of the incessant crackle of the omnipresent, all-penetrating, all-merciful, cosmic Fohat (power of the Logos), terrifying, indescribable and unspeakable carnal temptations naturally arise in the same way as they did for the great Gnostic Patriarch St. Augustine, who had visions of a delightful, naked woman upon the cross. Thus it is written with characters of glowing fire in the Book of Splendors: “Real knowledge and wise identification with all the infinite possibilities of sex must not mean for the wise a fall into the world of instincts and illusions, rather precisely such familiarization and profound knowledge will lead us to the realization of our Innermost Self.” The Initiate who intelligently seeks the extraordinary power of the eternal and creative principle in sexuality passes from domination of the passive to domination of the active in a well understood action that dominates the sexual energies. This knower is obviously in...
Physical Nourishment
The physical body is one of the marvelous instruments which man possesses to express himself. Considering this body from a strictly physical point of view, it is what we could call a machine, food being its combustible. The machine works and serves as an instrument according to the kind of combustible that is used. Many times we meet people who radiate an attitude of bliss, happiness, health, optimism, sympathy, love, etc. These people win the friendship of everyone: they possess a force of attraction, a “magnet”; they are irresistible. Others are weak and lack that “magnet” which is so marvelous. They fail when they try to receive the help of other people, and when they are owners of a business their clients gradually leave them. Psychology has discovered that a person’s character depends on his internal state. Character does not develop in the physical body, but it expresses itself through it, and if the physical body is not in a good state, then our internal side cannot express...
Proper Nourishment on the Path Towards Self-realization
As we walk on the path towards complete spiritual development, we find that we must make many changes in our lives, some very subtle while others are extremely radical. One aspect of our lives that needs to be addressed is the proper nourishment of our physical body. It is indispensable that each person be nourished sufficiently. When nutrition is imperfect, the blood weakens and becomes poor, this being the reason why the cells also weaken. - Samael Aun Weor, The Mystery of the Golden Blossom We must learn to eat and drink not only to feed our body, but our soul as well. The body is the temple that will lead us to achieve the spiritual goals that we have. The work towards Self-realization requires a great deal of strength physically, emotionally and mentally. Thus, we must...
The Common-Cosmic Trogoautoegocrat Law
In name of the truth I must state that a great law exists, which can be addressed as: The Common-Cosmic Trogoautoegocrat Law. This law has two fundamental, basic factors: to swallow and to be swallowed-or, the reciprocal nourishment of all organisms. Unquestionably, the bigger fish will always swallow the smaller fish, and in the depths of the jungle the weaker will succumb before the stronger; thus, this is the law of life. It does not matter how vegetarian we may be, the truth is that in the black sepulcher our body will be devoured by maggots, since the Common-Cosmic Trogoautoegocrat Law must be fulfilled. Unquestionably, all organisms live on other organisms; i.e., if we descend into the interior of the Earth, we will discover a metal that serves as a gravitational mediator for the evolving and devolving forces of nature; I am emphatically referring to copper (Cu). For example, if we apply the positive factor of the electricity to this metal, we can then evidence-with the sixth...
The Human Machine
If we vividly imagine in a clear and precise manner the resplendent and elongated body of the solar system, we will see all of its beautiful coverings and intertwined threads that were formed by the marvelous traces of the planets. Then, from such a receptive state, the living image of the human organism (with its skeletal, lymphatic, arterial, nervous, etc., systems) will come into our minds. Without a doubt the constitution of the human organism is also constituted and reunited in a similar manner. In space, when looking upon the solar system of Ors from afar (which is the solar system in which we live, move, and have our existence) it looks like a human being who walks throughout the inalterable infinite. The microcosmic human being is, in his turn, a solar system in miniature, a marvelous machine with various distributed nets of energy that are in distinct degrees of tension. The structure of the human organism is constituted by seven or eight systems that are held t...
The Human Machine
If we open the eyes of our imagination and reflect upon the incredible sophistication of this human organism, and vividly imagine all of the intricate systems within it that are interrelated and interdependent, that constitute the organism we inhabit, we see a very complex, very beautiful machine that functions without our direct intervention or without our direct will. We see the marvelous processes of our digestion, of our circulatory system, of the endocrine system, and all the other processes that make possible this very moment that we are experiencing. The organism that we are all seated within is constantly active, with many processes and transformations - about which we remain unaware - but whose marvelous power is evident and undeniable. In some corners of our science and wisdom, we've heard it stated that the human...
The Seven Planets of Alchemy
Although it may appear to be incredible, it is true and factually certain that the science of Endocrinology is closely related to Sexual Alchemy. Endocrinology is bound to produce a true creative revolution. Scientists already know that the sexual glands are not sealed capsules. The sexual glands absorb and secrete hormones. The hormones of secretion are called “conserving,” because they perpetuate the species. The hormones of absorption are called “vitalizing,” because they vitalize the human organism. This process of hormonal absorption is transmutation; it is Alchemy: the transformation of one type of energy-matter into another type of energy-matter. Trans • mutation: the change of one element into...
The Still Small Voice
There exists a particular mystical sound that the yogi must learn to hear. The Aztecs knew this mystical sound. Let us remember the hill of Chapultepec (note: Chapul - cricket, tepec - hill: “The hill of the cricket”). A cricket upon a hill is represented in a Mexican codex [see image at right]. In ancient Rome, during the time of the Caesars, the cricket was sold in golden cages at a very high price. Magicians of ancient Rome bought crickets in order to employ them in practical magic. If we place the cricket close to the head of our bed and meditate on its beautiful song, we will hear the “still voice” in the moment of slumber. This phenomenon is equivalent to the phenomenon of two pianos that are equally in tune. If for example we play the note TI on either piano, the other piano...
Tibetan Exercises
The following text is transcribed from oral instructions given by Samael Aun Weor to a student. The transcribed text was initially published in Spanish in the form of a narrative, and included many personal anecdotes and items unrelated to Gnosis. In later years, the extraneous writings were removed and the core materials were presented as a book written by Samael Aun Weor, but it should be noted that he did not actually write the text, although he did continue to teach and practice the exercises described here. As a curious sidenote, the author of the original text became somewhat known for his book, and when he attended a Gnostic retreat years later, Samael Aun Weor asked him to demonstrate the Tibetan exercises in front of all the students. The man...
Vaccines
The predicaments made by the smart-alecks of these times of human degeneration are horrifying. We do not deny the value of preventive medicine, but we assert that it is criminal to kill children by mistake. Cemeteries are filled with these mistakes, and the way to the abyss is paved with good intentions. National campaigns against cancer, tuberculosis, poliomyelitis, and smallpox have cost thousands of victims in every country. We knew the case of two beautiful children, full of life, who were vaccinated against poliomyelitis, and a few days later both beautiful children were quadriplegic; they were infected with infantile paralysis. In these cases the physicians limit themselves to state, “These victims were prone to contract such a disease, they had it already in a latent manner, etc., so, in conclusion, both children fell ill as quadriplegics.” Frightful crimes are being committed in public schools: children who did not have tuberculosis contract the disease after being vaccinated;...
