In this present issue of theGnostic Communiqu there is alecture entitled The GnosticStudy of the Soul. It seemsto be the case that the more

advanced and developed societybecomes, the less interested itis in this matter.

We, (humanity), come froman era in which few people, ifany, would doubt the existenceof an eternal, immutable anddivine principle, which liesin each one of us. This divineprinciple is the very reason andmotivation of our existence.

Todays arrogant attitude ofdenying the existence of theSoul is brandished as a symbolof modernism and an advancedculture; how insolent ignorancecan be!

Life itself has the meaning ofachieving a superior world; theEssence of the human being is ina transitory stage; in a processof learning and assimilating theprinciples inherent in the humankingdom.

We, (humanity), have lost thislegacy and are trapped withinthe intricate mechanisms of acivilised society.

This complicated mechanism,once created to make our life'seasier, is now on top of us,ruling our existence. I have

no time is probably the mostcommon expression in todayslife.

We constantly struggle tounderstand and to succeedin the mechanism of society,which truly leads nowhere.Struggling to be the numberone, without realising that in acyclical and mechanical processthe number one is just one

position behind the last. Withtime, humanity has come toadore its own creations morethan Creation itself.

The Soul is the intermediateelement between the physicaland the spiritual world; it isthe Soul that will rescue ourmiserable existence from thewheel of Samsara. It is theSoul that will reveal the originand meaning of our existence,unveiling our true Identity, realValues and real Image.

The word Gnosis is a Greek word meaning divine knowledge, obtainedby direct inner experience. Unlike other forms of knowledge, Gnosiscannot be acquired through study or listening to someone talk about it. Itis experiential knowledge, meaning that it can be acquired only throughexperiencing it. Gnosis is the perennial philosophy which enlightenedBuddha, Hermes, Jesus, Pythagoras, Moses, Socrates, Mohammad, Orpheus,Quetzalcoatl, Krishna etc. While Gnosis has been expressed in manydifferent forms in different civilisations, by means of different symbols andstructures, nonetheless beyond this illusory veil of differences exists theGolden Thread which is Gnosis - the pure and universal expression of Loveand Wisdom. Gnosis is the path of self realisation through experience. Withthe awakening of higher consciousness, we can obtain direct experience ofour inner Truth.

hat did the scarab beetlerepresent among the Egyptians?To the Egyptian initiates itrepresented the Soul.

Of what value would it be for a man to

accumulate all the riches of the world if hewere to lose his Soul? Resurrection is onlyfor Men* with Soul; the true immortality isonly for Men with Soul.

It is not possible to awaken theConsciousness, to make it becomeobjective, if we have not previouslyeliminated the subjective elements. Thoseinfra-human elements are formed by themultiplicity of Is which, in their totality

constitute the Ego, the myself.

The Essence, trapped among all of thosesubjective and incoherent entities, sleepsprofoundly. The annihilation of each one ofthose inhuman entities is indispensable inorder to free the Essence.

We know that the Essenceis a fraction of Soul, butwith that fraction we canelaborate what the Tao

calls the Golden Embryo.The Golden Embryoestablishes in us a perfectequilibrium betweenthe material and thespirit. It is not possibleto form the Embryo if wehave not liberated theEssence that is enclosedamong the Ego, the I, themyself.

Upon disintegrating theEgo, the Essence orBuddhata is transformed

into the Golden Embryo. Only the personwho has a Golden Embryo is conscious;only he who reaches the elaboration within

himself of the marvellous Golden Embryo,awakens in all the Worlds of Consciousnessand incarnates his immortal triad (Atman-Buddhi-Manas). Undoubtedly, he who attainsthis becomes a legitimate Man, an Adept ofthe White Fraternity, a true Master.

First of all, my dear brothers, it isnecessary to know the path which leadsto the Inner Self Realisation of the Being.Undoubtedly, it is urgent to comprehendthe necessity of crystallising in us that

which is called Soul. Jesus Christ said: Inyour patience possess ye your Souls; butfirst, it is necessary to understand thatwhich is called Soul.

Certainly, I have to say to you that the Soulis a conjunct of laws, principles, virtues,powers, etc. People have the Essence,the psychic material to elaborate Soul, orbetter to say, to crystallise the Soul, butthey do not yet possess Soul.

Obviously, he who wants to have thatsomething which normally is called Soul,will have to disintegrate the undesirablepsychic aggregates that we carry inside:anger, greed, lust, envy, pride, laziness,

gluttony, etc. Virgil, the poet of Mantua,said: Even if you had a thousand tonguesto speak and a palate of steel, you wouldnot be able to correctly enumerate all your

defects... Obviously, the defects arecalled psychic aggregates in Tibet; thoseaggregates are the very same as theelementaries that are mentioned bydifferent occultist organisations and arethe living representation of our errors.

It is said that Jesus of Nazareth cast outseven demons from the body of MaryMagdalene. Those defects representedthe Seven Capital Defects that multiplythemselves constantly. This affirmation

from the Christian gospel means that theInner Christ cast out the different inhumanpsychic aggregates from Mary Magdalene.

Each one of those aggregates is organisedin a very similar way to the humanpersonality. Each one has three brains: theintellectual, the emotional and the motor-instinctive-sexual. Each aggregate reallylooks like a person. If we say that withinour human person there live many persons,I would say, that we are not exaggerating.

All of those aggregates fight amongthemselves, fight for supremacy; eachone of them wants to be the owner, thelord and the one who can overcome therest. When an aggregate is able to controlthe five centres of the organic machinein a particular moment, it believes it isthe only one; moments later, however,it is overthrown and another takes itsplace. So, in reality, every person is not

the same, not even for half an hour. Thisseems incredible, but it is the truth! Evenyou, who are now sitting here in SecondChamber, began this lecture with anaggregate. You sat down in order to listen.Not one of you is very watchful, but if youpay attention to what has happened withinyourselves up to this precise moment, youwill discover that now you are different,that you are not the same as when youcame here and sat down.

Why? Because the psychic aggregate thatcontrols the organic machine that beganby taking a seat, was displaced by anotherthat now is listening to me. If I were tosay that you are the same as the one who

began, I would be abusing your mind andmine also. Therefore, in truth, the psychicaggregates constantly change. Suddenly,one of them controls the main centres of

the brain, and then another, they neverare the same.

The Essence is the most worthy anddecent thing that we have. Obviously,the Consciousness is enclosed among allof those multiple aggregates and processitself according to its own conditioning.

Each one of you is legion; let us rememberwhat Master Jesus asked those whowere possessed in the Christian gospel:

What is your name? And the possessedanswered: I am legion...! What is thename of those present here? Legion! Youdo not have true individuality, you havenot attained it, the Consciousness, in eachone of you, sleeps terribly. Why? Becauseit processes itself according to its ownentrapment; therefore, it is in a hypnoticstate, and this is something that cannot bedenied.

Regarding the Soul; have you attained itscrystallisation? If I would say that you donot have an immortal Soul, I would belying; I am aware that obviously each oneof you has his own immortal Soul, butyou do not possess it... One could have abeautiful diamond, kept in a security box;possibly one could enjoy thinking that onehas that diamond, but if this jewel werepledged, one in reality would not haveit. One would know that one has a jewel,but would not ignore that in reality, one

does not possess it. Many times somebodyreceives a good inheritance, and knowsone has it, but it is one thing to have itand another to possess it.

Where is your Soul? Travelling through theMilky Way, it moves through all the galaxy;but you do not possess it, you know thatyou have it, but it is one thing to knowthat you have it and another to possess it.How could one attain his Soul? By meansof disintegrating the psychic aggregates in

a definitive way, because the Soul and theaggregates are incompatible, like oil andwater, they cannot mix.

If we do not attain the disintegration


5/22

of the psychic aggregates, the livingpersonification of our psychological defects,we lose the Soul. The Christ says: Forwhat is a man profited, if he shall gain the

whole world, and lose his own soul? Is itpossible to lose the Soul? Yes, it is possible;he who enters into the infernal worlds loseshis Soul, that is obvious it is sad to losethat treasure. Does there exist a method toavoid losing it? Yes, I repeat, crystallising itin oneself, here and now.

When one disintegrates the psychicaggregate of lust, it crystallises in theEssence the precious virtue of the Soulknown as chastity. When one attains the

destruction, the annihilation of the psychicaggregate of hatred, then it crystallisesin us the precious virtue of love; whenone reduces to cosmic dust the psychicaggregate of egotism, then it crystallisesin us the preciousvirtue of altruismor Christ-centrism;when one annihilatesthe psychic aggregateof pride, then itcrystallises in us isthe ineffable virtueof humility.

In this part of ourlecture, I have tosay to you thatunfortunately manyesoteric books, etc.,lead the person tomystic pride and thisis serious. Some authors affirm that we

are Gods, that each one of us is a God;obviously, that declaration strengthensthe mystic pride, and this produces a lotof damage on the path of Self Realisationbecause one who is vain, convinced that heis a God, can become a megalomaniac.

Undoubtedly, it is not possible to become atrue illuminate when one has pride; I couldnever think of a fornicating, adulterous,egotist, envious, jealous, lustful God, etc.(each one of us, as a matter of fact, is

all of that). I feel pain when I see in theoccultist books, etc. (not mentioning anyorganisation in this moment, some of themvery venerable), the tremendous affirmation

that we are Gods; it is better to be seriousand to see the reality of the facts; to seewhat we are and not to have false illusions.

We eat, drink, fornicate, adulterate, hate,criticise, we are jealous, etc., do youbelieve that God is like this? It is better tosay: we are mere worms in the mud of theEarth and to realise that we really are likethat. There is a need to be sincere withourselves.

If we examine carefully our existence, wediscover that, in truth, we are not oneof the seven wonders of the world. Thisexamination of ourselves and our own life

will have extraordinary consequences,because it will let us know who we are. Itwill let us understand that we are just poorsinners, that we are mere worms in the mudof the Earth... In this way, we will walk the

path of simplicityand humility.

When in truth onedisintegrates thatpsychic aggregateof pride,obviously humilityis crystallisedwhich is the mostprecious virtue.Let us take intoaccount thatthere not onlyexists pride basedon social position,on the capital, on

the familys lineage, etc., there is a kind of

pride that is worse and more harmful thanall the forms that I have already described.This is the mystic pride, to believe that weare saints, wise men, to feel that we areGods, to believe or to think that there isnobody bigger than us, that we are greatinitiates, etc. This is serious because as amatter of fact, the pride will never allowus to have a correct relation with the mostelevated parts of our Being.

When one cannot attain a correct relation

with the most elevated parts of the Being,one is unable to enjoy illumination; onewill be based in the books, in the lecturer,but will never have the mystical experience

Gnosis Magazine Issue 26 - page 6



of the Real. Therefore, the first thing todo in these studies, is to eliminate fromourselves the mystic pride, because it isthe most dangerous; if we attain this, the

precious virtue of humility will be bornin us.

Each time we eliminate a psychicaggregate, a virtue is crystallised, apower, a law, a faculty, etc. In this mannerwe are crystallising Soul little by little, theSoul that normally lives over there, in theMilky Way.

However, we have to affirm that if thewater does not boil at 100 degrees, there

does not crystallise in us what has to becrystallised and there is not disintegratedwhat has to be disintegrated. When I say:the water has to boil at 100 degrees, Iam speaking in parable; I mean that weneed to pass through great emotionalcrises in order to disintegrate each defectof a psychological type.

I know the case of a Gnostic sister whois working in a terrible way on herself,with the danger of even getting a heartillness. That sister, in tremendous andsupreme self repentance, weeps, moansand suffers, she has never felt morethan anybody, however, she is a fallenBodhisattwa, the Bodhisattwa of anAngel. I wish that many could imitatethis example! Those who act in thisway, with supreme repentance, workingon a particular psychological defect,undoubtedly disintegrate, one by one, thepsychic aggregates and will crystallise that

which is called Soul.

He who attains the complete disintegrationof the undesirable psychic elementswhich one carries inside, will crystallisein himself 100% of his Soul. Even the merephysical body has to be transformed intoSoul; only in this way is it possible toreach the goal.

I know many erudite people with brightintellects that have drunk from all

philosophies of the Occident and theOrient; who know Hebrew, Sanskrit,Greek, etc., who suffer terribly becausethey do not enjoy illumination, because

they have not created the Bodhisita. Thisword can sound a bit strange to you;it is an Oriental term. In Japan, China,India, Nepal (where Gautama, the Buddha

Sakyamuni was born), the Soul crystallisedin a man or woman is called Bodhisita. Itis marvellous to see how those differentelements (virtues and powers), slowlycrystallise in the Essence, according to itbecoming liberated. For this reason wehave said that the Essence is the necessarymaterial for the crystallisation of Soul.

The term to fabricate is not the mostcorrect term, it is very heavy, rough.However, many authors use this term.

Let me take the liberty of dissensionin relation to this term; I prefer to sayto crystallise, because the Soul is notsomething that has to be fabricated; itexists, what one must do, is to crystalliseit and this is different.

You have seen a piece of ice. It is thecrystallisation of the water element.Undoubtedly, once this element is reallycold, it turns to ice. It is amazing to seethe crystallisation of water; it is doneaccording to some extraordinary geometricprinciples. The same happens with theSoul element. It crystallises in accordancewith certain precise geo-technicalmathematical lines. Even the very body wehave has to be transformed into Soul, andthis is possible to do so when in reality wecommit ourselves to do it.

INVERENCIAL PEACE !

here exists the terrestrial year;

and there also exists the siderealyear. A terrestrial year has to beunderstood as the movement ofthe Earth around the Sun, in 365

days and some fractions of minutes andseconds. Obviously this terrestrial year hasfour seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn andWinter. But there also exists a siderealyear; this year is completed in25,968 years within fractions ofminutes, seconds, etc.

During the journey of oursolar system, unusualevents occur. It happensthat our solar systemtravels around thezodiac from its originalstarting point. When oursolar system returns toits original starting point,after having gone throughits orbit around the zodiacalbelt, the year ends. Obviouslythat year also has four seasons:Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Springis the Golden Age, Summer the Silver Age,Autumn the Copper Age and Winter the IronAge. A race lasts as long as the time that ittakes the solar system to complete its orbitaround the zodiacal belt.

Our race was born in the constellationof Aquarius, during the age of the watercarrier, after the universal deluge.

The end is coming, the journey of the solarsystem has ended. It has returned aftermany years to the original starting point. In

these precise moments, we are in the Ageof Aquarius. This era began on February 4th

1962, between 2 and 3 p.m. Then all theworlds astronomers could see with theirtelescopes, a pause of celestial transit,under the constellation of Aquarius.

What we are saying here is documented, weare not affirming something that does nothave any documentation. If somebody saysthat the Era of Aquarius has not yet begun,or if others say that it was initiated beforeFebruary 4th 1962, how important could itbe to science and to us? The crude reality ofthe facts is that the Era of Aquarius beganon February 4th 1962, and this was seen bythe astronomers from all countries of theworld. It is an official fact, concrete andverified. In that epoch there was a solarand lunar eclipse that some of you canremember.

So, a few more degrees and thesolar system will reach exactly

the original starting point in

Aquarius.

During the journeyaround the Zodiacalbelt, there is a gradualdeviation of the poles ofour planet. If today wecould travel in a plane

guided exclusively by acompass, on reaching the

North Pole, the magneticneedle would be of no use,

and if we could descend verticallywe would see that the Pole already is notthere. That is to say, the geographical poledoes not coincide with the magnetic pole.

The poles have already deviated andwhen our solar system arrives at the exactdegree, to the precise starting point, thepoles will move to the equator and theequator will move to the poles. Then theoceans in their fury will change positionand these lands in which we live will besubmerged among the depths of the ocean.

An unusual event will accelerate, the

the Atlantean's.Lecture by Samael Aun Weor

T



revolution of the Earths axis. I want topoint to Hercolobus. This planet is three tosix times larger than Jupiter. It belongs to avery distant solar system, the solar system ofTyler. This solar system is gradually coming

closer to the Earth. Astronomers can alreadyobserve this powerful giant Hercolobus.

Hercolobus will pass through at an angleto our solar system. When this happens,the revolution of the Earths axis will beviolently accelerated and then will comea catastrophe. Some scientists will try tomove Hercolobus with atomic explosions,but it will be useless. It will be impossibleto move a monstrous, giant and powerfulplanet with just atomic bombs. Facts are

facts and confronted with the facts we haveto recognise it.

Hercolobus came inthe Lemurian epoch,before the existence ofAtlantis, and destroyedthat continent. We wellknow that Mu or theLemurian continent,through 40,000 years of

constant earthquakesand volcanic eruptions,was submerged inthe waters of thetempestuous PacificOcean.

When Hercolobuspassed through atan angle to thesolar system at the end of the continentof Atlantis Kali-Yuga, there came the

universal deluge. The oceans were displaced,they changed their positions, and Atlantisdisappeared. Vestiges of Atlantis are theAntilles*, as vestiges of the continent of Muare Easter Island, the archipelago of Oceania,Australia, etc.

So, when Hercolobus passes again, throughthis angle to the solar system, you can beabsolutely sure that it will bring with it acatastrophe. So, the catastrophe that willcome is not the first and will not be the last.

If we carefully study the Aztec solar stoneCalendar, we will find extraordinary wisdom.

The Nahuatls say that the Sons of the FirstSun were devoured by tigers, that theSons of the Second Sun were destroyed byhuge hurricanes and were transformed intomonkeys and apes; that the Sons of the

Third Sun died by the action of the Sun offire-rain and huge earthquakes, and weretransformed into birds.

They say that the Sons of the Fourth Sunwere swallowed by the waters and thatthey were transformed into fish, but theydo not say anything about the Sons of theFifth Sun. However, if we investigate whatwill be the luck of the Sons of the FifthSun, the Nahuatls say how they will haveto disappear, and explain this when they

talk about the future: the Sons of the FifthSun, they affirm, will die by the action of

fire and earthquakes.

Then they affirm that inthe epoch of the Fifth Sun,the Gods will die, that thecult to the Gods will beleft, something that hashappened. But then theNahuatls emphasise, in

their Aztec Calendar, thatduring the epoch of theSixth Sun, the Gods willresurrect and that in theepoch of the Seventh Sun,everything will be divine.But let us now study theSons of the Fifth Sun...

Obviously, the Sons of theFirst Sun were the men that lived in theprimogenial Earth, more than 300 million

years ago, in the Protoplasmic Earth. It issaid that they were devoured by tigers,because the Protoplasmic Men were sons ofwisdom. When talking about ProtoplasmicMen, it seems this disagrees with Haeckelstheory that speaks about a bit of salt,called protoplasm...

The Protoplasmic Men had gelatinous bodies,they were ductile, flexible, plastic; theycould assume gigantic stature, or reducethemselves to a mathematic point. They

were androgynous. Reproduction occurredin the same manner as the reproductionof cells by cellular division. Precisely, this



phenomenon of reproduction exists in ourblood. We see how the cells are dividedin two and then into four, to reproducethemselves. Were they devoured by tigers?Yes. Wisdom.

When they say that the Sons of the SecondSun were destroyed by huge hurricanes,they mean something esoteric. TheHyperboreans had androgynous bodies, butsomething less gelatinous, more gaseous.They say that they transformed themselvesinto monkeys, that is to say that theydegenerated and perished.

The culture of our ancestors of Anahuac

also speaks about the Sons of the ThirdSun, the Lemurians. They were gigantichermaphrodites, as we see themrepresented in the sculpturesof Tula. Reproduction wasby gemmation. TheSons of the SecondSun reproducedthemselves by anoviparous* system,but the Sons ofthe Third Sun, by

germination*.

It is clearthat thosehermaphroditesovulated. The ovuleescaped from theirovaries and arrivedalready fertilised, becausethey were Male and Female.As the Bible says: God createdMan male and female He createdthem. Then, it is said, in a determinedtime, those eggs opened and from them wasborn a creature that was fed by the Father-Mother.

The fact that they were hermaphrodites issomething that invites us to think. Certainly,the breasts of the man are atrophiedmammary glands; the clitoris in the womanis an atrophied phallus covered with nervesand ligaments. So, in the human organism

we can see the testimony that once, thehuman race was hermaphroditic. However,through millions of years, the race divided

into opposite sexes. Some creatures beganto be born with one sex more developedthan the other and the day came when thereappeared unisexual creatures.

When that happened, it was necessary forsexual co-operation in order to procreate.In that time in Lemuria the sexual act wassacred and was only done as a sacramentinside the Temples of the Mysteries. Itwas a time in which humanity had not yetdegenerated.

They say that the Lemurians transformedthemselves into birds. Certainly, as atestimony to that, I say that not long ago

in Bolivia a small race of Lilliputians wasdiscovered. They had a height of 10 to 20centimetres, the men and women were

very small. They lived in a smalltown that looked like the

houses of dolls. Suddenly,those Lilliputians

disappeared; theypenetrated into theFourth Verticaland transportedthemselves to

another place.

They had to escapebecause they hadbecome a public

scandal. Multitudesof people went to visit

them. Today the smalltown, as I have said, is

guarded by the tribes of thatplace. So, it is true that the

Sons of the Third Sun transformedthemselves into birds.

The Sons of the Fourth Sun perished bythe action of the waters, were transformedinto fish. Yes! That is to say, that wereswallowed by the ocean. And regardingus, the Sons of the Fifth Sun, obviouslywe will have to die by the action of fireand earthquakes. The earthquakes areintensifying more and more, from momentto moment. It happens that in the bottom of

the oceans, the land is fissured; there existsa system of fissures in the bottom of theAtlantic and Pacific Oceans.



Some of those fissures are so deep thatthe ocean is penetrating them and, as aresult, is reaching the fire that circulateswithin the Earth. This generates vapoursand pressures that increase from instant toinstant, from moment to moment. That isthe secret cause of many earthquakes thatare appearing at this time.

No one is convinced by the theory that saysthat a particular earthquake was producedbecause of a changeor a movement or a

sliding of a particulargeological layer. Thecrude reality is thata country suddenlytrembles and thenin another. Each dayearthquakes becomemore intense, theywill become moreintense each day.About this there canbe no doubts.

If we add to this theatomic explosions thattyrants are makingin the depths of theplanet Earth, it wouldnot surprise us that,at any moment, acatastrophe couldoccur.

This planet is now experiencing a longagony. The fish of the immense ocean aredying because the waters are contaminated.There is no doubt that the oceans havebecome a huge rubbish dump. Atomic wastecan produce, at any moment, a tremendouscatastrophe. The containers that are usedto keep the atomic wastes, are in reality,not safe and at any moment, I repeat, theycan produce a huge catastrophe.

Chemical fertilisers are actually sterilising

the Earth. The forests are being felled, thecities are full of smog. There are hundreds

that affirm that at this pace, within fortyyears, humanity will be dead because ofsmog. So, the rivers, the oceans and theatmosphere are all contaminated.

On the Earths skin there exists organic life.Trees, animals and people are necessaryfor the life of the Earth. The trees attracta particular type and subtype of cosmicenergy that they transform and re-transmitto the internal layers of the Earth. Themost insignificant insects receive particular

types of energy that,after being transformed,

are re-transmitted tothe interior layers of theplanetary organism onwhich we live.

Each one of us attractsparticular types andsubtypes of energy thatwe transform and re-transmit to the earth. So,organic life is necessaryfor the Earth. Without

organic life, the Earthwould be transformedinto a huge desert, into ahuge Sahara.

Unfortunately, everythingis been altered: thehunters are puttingan end to the animalspecies. In Africa, thefamous reservations were

created because hunters were killing almostall living creatures. They were ending thespecies of nature.

The forests, so necessary to life, have beenfelled; the fruits of the earth have beenaltered by the know-alls; it is already hardto find apples that have not been altered.

A tree that has not been altered, a treewithout a graft, attracts specific cosmicenergy that is related with it, and then

re-transmits this energy to the layersof the Earth. But a tree that has been



grafted cannot fulfil this precious mission.Its fruits, already altered, do not capturecosmic energy and are not charged with

this marvellous cosmic energy. Without theenergy they are supposed to be chargedwith, they do not deliver the same vitalprinciples to the human organism.

So, today we can see, specially in NorthCalifornia, very beautiful fruits that area sight to the eyes, but that really do notproduce in the organism the same effectsthat are produced by fruits that have notbeen altered by grafting.

At this pace, the entire Earth is beensubmitted to a painful agony, and this hasto come to an end. Nostradamus, the greatastrologer that lived in the middle ages,affirmed that in the year 1999 Hercolobuswill pass near the Earth. He says in hisCenturies, that then we will see like twoSuns, and he emphasises the fact that wecan understand that event as the end of thepresent Aryan race.

Obviously, this has to come to an end. Untilnow, there have been two dreadful worldwars. From 1914 to 1918 and then From1939 to 1945. But there will come a thirdworld war that will be worse than the firstand second wars. When humans are fullof hatred, when he has within himself thefactors that produce wars, undoubtedlythere will be wars.

In these moments, I remember Daniel theprophet. Daniel says that he saw, in a

vision, four winds stirring upon a great sea,then he says that he had also seen fourbeasts that came up from the bottom ofthe sea. The first beast was like a lion andhad eagles wings, and a mans heart wasgiven to it. The second beast was like abear; the third had four wings and also fourheads. It was like a leopard, and the fourthwas different to all the others. It had greatiron teeth and nails, it devoured and brokeeverything to pieces. And it received thepower to destroy the earth everywhere and

to bring desolation to all the corners of theworld.

It also received power to fight againstthe saints, but it was judged and had itsdominion taken away and then the power

was received by the saints, then came theGolden Age.

Obviously, Daniel is talking about the fourages: the Golden Age, the Silver Age, theCopper Age and the Iron Age, during whichall of us live in this moment.

In the Iron Age, humanity arrived at thestate in which it is now. The fourth beasthas been frightful, as Daniel said, differentto all the other beasts. But it will have its

end, because the day of the Christ willcome when it is least expected. In thatway it is written: that it will come as athief in the night. In this precise momentwe are in the beginning of the end. TheApocalypse speaks about the beginning ofthe end. We are precisely at the end oftimes, at the end of the Kali-Yuga, at theend of the fourth beast.

Soon you will see the fall of all the greatcities of the world: New York, Washington,Paris, London, will be reduced to dust. Theearthquakes will become frightfully strong.You will witness soon, in flesh and bone, allthat is going to happen between 1982 and1992. You will see it yourselves and you willremember what you have listened to here inthis auditorium of the Municipal Gallery ofGuadalajara, Jalisco.

So, it is necessary to be attentive becausethe end of times has arrived. It is possible

to demonstrate through celestial mechanicsthat the solar system is arriving at the endof its journey and, in truth, movementaround the zodiac ends in a catastrophe.On the other hand, the evil of the world isso big that it has already reached heaven.Babylon the Great, the mother of allfornications and abominations of the Earthwill be destroyed and of this perversecivilisation of vipers, not even the stoneswill survive.

Peter, prophesised saying, And theelements shall melt with fervent heat, theearth also and the works that are therein



shall be burned up. Certainly, fire is thefirst element that will appear with theapproach of Hercolobus. It is so huge and

will pass so close to us that it will attractthe fire that exists within the earth. Thenmany volcanoes will appear and a greatconflagration will spread from the North Poleto the South Pole.

However, it is obvious that before this event,the Antichrist will perform extraordinaryprodigies. The Antichrist of science willperform prodigies. It will make atomicspaceships with which it will be possible togo to all the planets of the solar system.

Extraordinary arms will be invented andpeople will prostrate themselves on thefloor, worshipping the great beast saying:There is nothing like science, there isnothing like the Antichrist. Few will bethose that will listen to the word of Christ.People already do not want anything to dowith that. In these times they say: I want ademonstration, I like to know something thatis demonstrable, something that the sensescan verify...

But, as in Atlantis, a select group was formedin the same manner as we are now forming aWorld-wide Salvation Army. This select groupwill be formed for those who self explorethemselves, for those who eliminate theirpsychological defects, for those who will putan end to the cult of the Ego, the myself.

That select group will be formed by men andwomen of good will, by people in truth readyto achieve radical transformation. This select

group will be carried to a place in the PacificOcean. This select group will live, in thosedays, in a region where they will see thefight and the battle to the death betweenthe fire and the water for two centuries.

And when the double rainbow appearsamong the clouds, as a signal of a new pactbetween God and Men, that select groupwill live in new lands and new skies. Thenwill come the dawn of the Golden Age. Thatis why Virgil, the Poet of Mantua said: The

Golden Age has already arrived and a newlineage command.

It is opportune to cite, among themagnificence of this poor and pygmy

humanity, that date and hour, February4th 1962, between the hours of 2 and 3p.m. in which all the planets of our solar

system were reunited in a supreme cosmiccouncil, precisely in the bright constellationof Aquarius, to initiate the New Age amongthe august thunder of thought. Since thatmemorable date, and under the regency ofUranus, the very Venerable and MeritoriousLord of Aquarius, vibrates the DionysianWave in all of nature.

It would be good to say in this presentchapter, the transcendental news that thisplanet will be the brilliant star that directs

and governs intelligently the endocrinesexual glands. Now you will understand, byyourselves, the intrinsic reason that, in thesemoments, originates the intense DionysianVibration.

However it is evident, obvious and clear,that the terrestrials, in their overwhelmingmajority, are not taking advantage of thecircumstances and are not able to polarisethemselves positively with this wave.

Seven Ages Of Manby William Shakespeare.

All the worlds a stage,And all the men and women merely players,

They have their exits and entrances,

And one man in his time plays many parts,

His acts being seven ages.

At first the infant,

Mewling and puking in the nurses arms.

Then, the whiling schoolboy with his satchelAnd shining morning face, creeping like snail

Unwillingly to school.

And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a

woeful ballad

Madew to his mistress eyebrow.

Then a soldier,

Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,

Jealous in honour, sudden, and quick in quarrel,Seeking the bubble reputation

Even in the cannons mouth.

And then, the justice

In fair round belly, with good capon lind,

With eyes severe, and beard of formal cut,

Full of wise saws, and modern instances,

And so he plays his part.

The sixth age shifts

Into the lean and slipperd pantaloon,

With spectacles on nose, and pouch on side,

His youthful hose well savd, a world too wide,

Fir his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,

Turning again towards childish treble, pipes

And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,

That ends this strange eventful history,

Is second childishness and mere oblivion,Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything,

Excerpt from Elegy

by Goethe.

.

..in the purity of our heart, there surges

a striving, born of gratitude, to freely

surrender oneself to a higher, purer,

Unknown Power; thus resolving the

enigma to oneself of the Eternally Un-

named; we call this piety!

...before its breath (this purity of heart),

as if before springtime breezes,

melts away what has lasted so long in icy

rigidity, self-centerdness, deep in wintrytombs...

The Christ

by Rudolf Steiner.

In the beginning was Christ,

And Christ was with the Gods,

And a God was Christ.

Deep in each human soulBeing of Christ indwells.

In my soul too He dwells,

And He will lead me

To the true meaning of my life.



The Origin of the Parable

On a certain day - the last day of the

Golden Age -, the Untruth surprised

the Truth while sleeping; and snatched

her white clothes; the Untruth wore

them and in this way became the only

sovereign on earth.

The world seduced by the false

brightness of the Untruth disguised as

the Truth, very soon lost its primitive

innocence, renouncing knowledge,

integrity and justice.

Since then the Truth scorned and

rejected, subdued by the Untruth, who

had usurped her name and the cult

only rendered to the truthful and just.

Everything that the Truth said

was immediately pointed as a

vision. Everything that the Truth

did vas considered intolerable and

extravagant. In spite of its legitimate

privileges, the Truth reached the

point of having to plead for attention

and heed, but She was impolitely

rejected from every place She visited.

There were even insolent people who

described her breed of innocent

nakedness, as licentiousness. Go away

poor wretched, the people said. Go

away far from here odious woman, you

who dares to come naked in front of

our modest eyes! You will never seduce

us with your absurdities! The Truth,

convinced that humankind cordially

execrated her, ran away to the desert.

Soon after arriving and next to the

brambles, She found the gaudy clothes

that the Untruth left after robbing her.

Not having any other clothes to wear,

the Truth dressed in them, and in this

way the Truth, always true, became

disguised with the characteristic

costumes of the Untruth.

Metaphorically transformed, The Truth

was able to return amongst the people,

who welcomed her with astonishment

and happiness. Those who previously

were scandalised with her nakedness

were the ones that better received Her,

under such an exotic appearance and

beautiful name of Fable or Parable. A

name that since then, She adopted.

Rune FA

Excerpt from Esoteric Course on Runic Magicby Samael Aun Weor

...If we analyse the practice of the Rune FA, wecan affirm that Pranayama, prayer, meditationand a specific sacred posture exist within it.

PRACTICEWhen we get out of bed, with immensehappiness we must salute each new day byraising our arms towards our Lord, the Sun-Christ. The arms must be placed in such a waythat the left arm must be a little more elevated

than the right one, and the palms of our handsmust remain before the light in that ineffableand sublime attitude of one who really longs forreceiving the solar rays.

This is the sacred posture of the Rune FA. Thus,this is the method in order for us to work withPranayama, by inhaling the air through thenose and exhaling it through the mouth in a

rhythmical way and with much faith. Let usimagine in those instants that the light of theSun-Christ penetrates within us through thefingers of our hands, then circulates throughour arms, inundates the whole of our organism,and finally reaches the consciousness in orderto stimulate it, to awaken it, and to call it intoactivity.

You must also practice this Runic Judo in themysterious and divine nights, before the starrysky of Urania, with the same posture, andpraying like this:

Marvellous force of love, revive my sacredfires, so that my consciousness may awaken.FAAA.. FEEE. FIIII FOOO FUUU

This short yet great prayer can and must beprayed with all of our heart, as many times aswe want.

My heartBy Muhammad Jalal-ud Din Rumi

My heart, sit only with those

who know and understand you.

Sit only under a tree

that is full of blossoms.

In the bazaar of herbs and potions

don't wander aimlessly

find the shop with a potion that is sweet

If you don't have a measure

people will rob you in no time.

You will take counterfeit coins

thinking they are real.

Don't fill your bowl with food from

every boiling pot you see.

Not every joke is humourous, so don't search

for meaning where there isn't one.

Not every eye can see,

not every sea is full of pearls.

My heart, sing the song of longing

like nightingale.The sound of your voice casts a spell

on every stone, on every thorn.

First, lay down your head

then one by one

let go of all distractions.

Embrace the light and let it guide you

beyond the winds of desire.

There you will find a spring and nourished by

its see waterslike a tree you will bear fruit forever.

ArtExcerpt from Revolution of the Dialectic,

by Samael Aun Weor.

...In truth, we, the old Hierophants, never

ignore the fact that integral knowledge

can only be acquired by means of the three

brains; one brain only can not provide

complete information.

Sacred dance and cosmic drama when

combined wisely with music served to

transmit tremendous archaic knowledge

to the neophytes; this was knowledge

of a cosmogenic, psychobiological,

physiochemical, metaphysical nature, etc.

He who works with his hands is a labourer.He who works with his hands and head is a craftsman.

He who works with his hands, head and heart is an artist.



Fundamental Education.Chapter 11 - Wisdom and Love

By Samael Aun Weor

isdom and Love are the two main

pillars of every true civilisation.

On one pan of the scales of CosmicJustice we should place Wisdom, on the otherwe should place Love.

Wisdom and Love should balance each othermutually. Wisdom without Love is adestructive element. Love without Wisdomcan lead us into error, "Love is Law butConscious Love".

It is necessary to study much and acquireknowledge but it is also urgent to developthe Spiritual Being within us.

Knowledge without the Spiritual Being welldeveloped within us in a harmoniousway becomes the cause of that which iscalled knavery.

The Being well developed within us butwithout intellectual knowledge of any kind

gives rise to stupid Saints.

A stupid Saint possesses very developedSpiritual Being but since he does not haveintellectual knowledge, he cannot do anythingbecause he does not know how to.

A stupid Saint has the power of doing but hecan not do because he does not knowhow to.

Intellectual knowledge without the SpiritualBeing well developed producesintellectual confusion, perversity, and pride.

During the Second World War thousands ofscientists devoid of any spiritualelements in the name of science andhumanity committed terrible crimes with thepurpose of carrying out scientificexperiments.

We need to form a powerful intellectual

culture. However, very well balanced withtrue Conscious spirituality.

We need Revolutionary Ethics and aRevolutionary Psychology if we really want todissolve the Ego in order to develop the Truespiritual Being within us.

Unfortunately, for lack of Love, people usethe intellect in a destructive way.Students need to study science, history,mathematics, etc.

It is necessary to acquire vocational skillswith the purpose of being useful to ourfellow beings.

It is necessary to study, it is indispensable toaccumulate basic knowledge, howeverfear is not indispensable.

Many people accumulate skills because offear; they are afraid of life, death,hunger, misery, to "what people will say", andfor this reason they study.

One should study because of Love towards our

W

fellow men with the desire ofserving them better but one should neverstudy because of fear.

In practical life we have been able toprove that all those students that studybecause of fear, sooner or later becomerascals.

We need to be sincere with ourselves inorder to observe and discover in ourselvesall the processes of fear.

In life we should never forget that fear hasmany phases. Sometimes fear isconfused with courage. Soldiers on the

battlefield seems to be very brave but inreality they move and fight due to fear. Aperson who commits suicide seems at firstsight to be very brave, but in reality he isa coward who is afraid of life.

All rascals in life appear to be very bravebut deep down they are cowards.Rascals often use their profession andpower in a destructive way when they areafraid. For example Castro Ruz in Cuba.

We never pronounce ourselves against theexperience of practical life or against thecultivation of intellect but we condemnthe lack of Love.

Knowledge and experience of life becomedestructive when there is lack of Love.The Ego usually traps intellectualknowledge and experience when thatwhich is called Love is absent.

Husbands and wives should always feel asif they were recently married, forgettingthe past and happily living the present.Love and resentments are incompatibleatomic substances. In true love, no

resentments of any kind can exist. Love iseternal forgiveness.

Love exists in those who feel true anguish

for the suffering of their friends andenemies. True love exists in him whowholeheartedly works for the well-being ofthe humble, poor and needy.

Love exists in him who, in a natural andspontaneous way, feels sympathy for thepeasant who waters the furrow with thesweat of his brow; for the villager whosuffers; for the beggar who asks for a coin;and for the humble dog in anguish andsickness which dies of hunger on the

roadside.

When we help someone wholeheartedly,when in a natural and spontaneous way,we care for a tree and water the flowersin the garden without anyone demanding itfrom us, then authentic generosity, truesympathy and love exist.

Unfortunately people are not trulygenerous to the world.

People are only concerned with their ownselfish gains, desires, knowledge,experiences, sufferings, pleasures, etc.Many people exist in the world who possessonly false generosity. False generosityexists in the astute politician, in theelectoral "fox" who spends money with thegoal of obtaining power, prestige, position,wealth, etc. We should not confuse falsegenerosity with true generosity. Truegenerosity is absolutely disinterested but

can easily be confused with the selfishand false generosity of political "foxes"capitalist crooks, and satyrs who desirewomen, etc. Generosity should come fromour hearts. True generosity is not of the

mind. Authentic generosity is the perfumeof the heart.

If people were generous, they would

forget resentments accumulated in theirmemories, all the painful experiences ofthe many yesterdays and would learn tolive from moment to moment, alwayshappy, always generous, full of truesincerity.

Unfortunately, the Ego is memory andlives in the past, it always wants to returnto the past. The past overcomes people,destroys happiness, kills love.

A mind bottled up in the past can neverfully understand the profound significanceof the present moment in which we live.

Many people write to us seekingconsolation, asking for a preciousointment to heal their painful heart, butfew are those who worry about comfortingthe afflicted.

The Ego abuses experiences and the

intellect by using them to grow stronger.On disintegrating the Ego, experiences andthe intellect remain in the hands of theIntimate Being and all abuse then becomesimpossible.

Every student should guide himself on thevocational path and study in depth alltheories related to his vocation.Studies and the intellect do not harmanyone, but we should not abuse theintellect.

We need to study to avoid abusing themind. He who wants to study theories ofdifferent vocations, who wants to harmothers with the intellect, who practices

violence on another's mind, etc., abusesthe mind.

It is necessary to study professional and

spiritual subjects in order to have abalanced mind.

It is urgent to arrive at an intellectual andspiritual synthesis if we really want abalanced mind.

Teachers of schools, colleges anduniversities should study our RevolutionaryPsychology in depth if they really want tolead their students along the path ofFundamental Revolution.

It is necessary that students acquireSpiritual Being and develop the TrueBeing in themselves so that they leaveschool transformed into responsibleindividuals, and not stupid Rascals.

Wisdom without Love is useless. Intellectwithout Love only produces rascals.

Wisdom in itself is an Atomic Substance,

atomic capital that should only beadministered by individuals filled withtrue Love.
