Hell

Hell

Every religion has a symbolic representation of the consequences of harmful action.

  • African: Hetgwauge
  • Aztec: Mictlan
  • Buddhism: Naraka
  • Chinese: Diyu
  • Christian: Hell, from the Greek terms Tartarus, Hades, or the Hebrew word Gehenna
  • European: Anaon, Uffern, Peklo, Manala
  • Greek: Hades, Tartarus, or Tartaros (from Greek Τάρταρος, deep place).
  • Hindu: Naraka, Kalichi or Kitichi
  • Islam: Jahannam, Zamhareer, Hawiyah
  • Judaism: Gehenna, Klipoth, Sheol
  • Mayan: Xibalba, Metnal
  • Sumerian: Aralu

The truth behind the symbols is a stark reality that is quite different from what is commonly believed.

Question: In this day and age - according to scientists - we can no longer acknowledge the hell of fire and flames of which the Catholic religion speaks to us, since this is nothing more than a religious superstition. Is this true, Master? Samael Aun Weor: Respectable gentleman, allow me to tell you that any religious type of inferno is exclusively symbolic. It is not irrelevant in these moments to remember the Nordics’ glacial inferno; the Yellow Springs (huángquán), the Chinese hell with all of its torments; the Buddhist hell; the Mohammedan hell; or the Infernal Island of the inhabitants of the ancient city of Gob of that part of Asia called Maralpleicie, whose civilization is today found hidden within the sands of the Gobi dessert. Unquestionably, these various traditional inf...

Question: Master, based on what you have previously explained to us, should we then understand that the infradimensions only exist below the interior layers of the Earth, since the supradimensions, which are associated with the heavens, are only found above the terrestrial crust? Samael Aun Weor: Respectable gentleman, your question is combined quite significantly; thus, I will give a quick answer. It is good for all of you to understand that this planetary organism on which we live has three clearly defined aspects in its interior: First: the merely physical mineral region Second: the supradimensional zone Third: the infradimensional zone Question: Even supposing that these three aspects of the interior of the Earth – which you have spoken about to us – exist – since, I clarify, in my case, I agree with it only hypothetically – we would have to arrive at the conclusion that the nine heavenly...

Friends, we are gathered here again with the purpose of studying the ray of creation. It is urgent, indispensable, and unpostponable to clearly and precisely know the exact place that we occupy within the vivifying ray of creation. First of all, respectable gentlemen, dear ladies, I beseech you very kindly to follow my lecture with infinite patience. I want you to know that there exist seven cosmoses, namely: Protocosmos Ayocosmos Macrocosmos Deuterocosmos Mesocosmos Microcosmos Tritocosmos Unquestionably, the first cosmos is formed by multiple, transcendental, divine, spiritual suns. Much has been spoken about the sacred Absolute Sun, and it is obvious that every solar system is governed by one of these spiritual suns. This means that our planetary system possess its own sacred absolute sun, just like all the other solar systems of the unalterable infinite. The second order of...

Worthiest friends, we meet here tonight with the purpose of studying the ninth Dantesque circle. Our purpose is to delve into the core of this subject, since through these lectures we have arrived at the very center of the Earth, which has a frightful inertia, given that it is the very nucleus of our planet. Thus, when reaching this inmost part, Dante in his Divine Comedy cites the spear of Achilles. It has been told unto us that if in the beginning that spear hurt and caused harm or bitterness, thereafter it became a true blessing. That spear clearly brings to our memory the lance with which Longinus the Roman centurion wounded the side of the Lord.  That spear, grasped by Parsifal, the marvelous hero of the Wagnerian drama, manages to heal the wound in the side of Amfortas. In our former books we spoke in a concrete manner...

Worthy audience, respectable gentlemen, honorable ladies, our lecture will briefly discuss perpetual motion. Periodically, in some way or another the intellectual loafers become preoccupied with making a perpetual motion mechanism, on account of which the public opinion becomes intensely agitated. People always get into their heads the challenge of inventing a mechanism that will run perpetually, but this is not possible due to the inevitability of worn-out materials.  It is clear that the momentum of any perpetual motion machine ceases if the pieces of the mechanism are worn out.  Thus, the outcome of it all is that when trying to discover the law of perpetual motion some people have ended up in insane asylums. {rokbox album=|Perpetual Motion|}images/stories/perpetual-motion/*{/rokbox} The least that one can do is to laugh when seeing so many wiseacres’ machines that fail to fulfill their function.  What ingenious and complicated mechanisms have the...

Friends of mine, tonight, December 18th, 1972, in the tenth year of Aquarius, we enter into the second part of our dissertations. Much has been said about the Devil. Indeed, the topic of the Devil has been the cause for a great deal of writings. Nonetheless, those who have actually explained it are few, given that the origin of this myth should be researched within the initiatic crypts of the past and within archaic caverns. Let us reflect for a moment about what the Sun is. Unquestionably, the king star illuminates us and gives us life. Nonetheless, the sun is in contrast with the darkness. Any sunny day—as bright as it might be—has its shadows, whether under the leafy trees of solitary roads, within the grottos of the mountains, or simply below any mobile or immobile body. Yes, each one of us projects our shadow, here, there, and everywhere. Thus, light and shadow in a harmonious antithesis outline a complete duality, whose extraordinary synthesis is wisdom. Now, let us survey a...

Friends of mine, we meet here tonight after Christmas 1972 in order to talk a little bit about the dragon of darkness.  Remember that these teachings will constitute the Christmas message for the years 1973-1974. It is necessary to clarify, to specify, to indicate with precision, the crude satanic reality, since, indubitably, in this day and age the subject of the Devil disturbs the public opinion abundantly. Frankly, I do not acknowledge the Devil of dogmatic religions whatsoever, and I think that you cannot acknowledge that fetish of the profane clergy either. It is obvious that in Atlantis before the second transapalnian devastation, and in the land of Mu, existed a Neptunian type of flying reptile whose skin was covered with scutes or scales. That famous Atlantean amphibian was always utilized by the Chaldeans in order to...

Limbo is the first sphere of Klipoth; it is related to that which we know as Hell, or the Infernos, or the Infra-dimensions of nature. The whole of the cosmos is governed by many laws. Different parts of the cosmos from the Ain Soph to Klipoth are governed by differing amounts of laws. The first sphere of Klipoth is Limbo which is governed by 96 laws, resulting in a very complicated mechanism. The Ray of Creation descends into the different worlds, and finally we find that the Ray enters into Limbo, the first sphere of Klipoth, Hell. The Ray of Creation The first order of worlds is the Ain Soph Aur (Hebrew for "limitless light") - Eternal Cosmic Common Father - is governed by 1 law, which is the Truth. The second...

We must understand the Mind in order to understand what salvation is and the term "being born again." We must also understand that after the last return into Limbo, the door or entrance into the sphere of Mercury is definitively open for the lost souls, thus the definitive entrance into the infernal worlds is related with the mind. The mind is related with the sphere of Mercury. Klipoth is related with Nine Inferior Dimensions. Within the Ray of Creation there are Seven Cosmos. The First Cosmos is governed by the Father, the Truth: "Search for the Truth and the Truth shall set you free." God is the Truth. The Tree of Life and the 10 Sephiroth teach us about the different parts of the Being and the different Heavens. Malkuth is the physical world. The other Nine Sephiroth are...

Here is the world, empty and round, it goes up and down, glitters and bounces, it dances around the sun, trembles and roars, gives and destroys; now barren, now fertile, this is the world. On its huge old back there is a race both profligate and mad, haughty, cowardly, subtle and wicked, whose members devour one another ceaselessly from the topmost peak to the bottom-most depths of the wicked world. An empty fable is Satan to them, Hell is a matter for mockery and derision, Paradise for derision and mockery. Oh by God! Let me have a good laugh now thinking of what I'm hiding from them! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! There goes the world! - Mefistofele from the opera Mefistofele based on Goethe's Faust. The study of the Kabbalah is the study of the ubiquitous Tree of Life. Present in the mythologies and religious...

Inverted Gedulah Demon: Baal Pehor. Vice: Obscure Love (to be complacent with crimes). Samael Aun Weor stated: "Baal Pehor, the obscene dread of Moab's sons, who dwelled from Aroer to Nebo, and even far beyond the Southmost of the desert of Abarim... He dwelled also in Hesebon and Horonaim, in Zion's Realm, beyond the flowery dales of Sibma clad with Vines, and Eleale to the Asphaltick lake. "Frightful, left-handed, tenebrous Baal Pehor, he enticed the Israelites in Sittim on their march from the Nile to perform for him wanton rites, which cost them woes... "From there this Elohim, fallen amidst the luciferin reddish fires, his lascivious orgies he enlarged even to that hill of scandal, by the Grove of the homicidal Moloch... "Thenceforth, it...
