A Human Being in the Image and Likeness of God
“This is the book (or recount, Sepher ספר, Sphere, Sephirah ספרה, or enumeration ספירת, Sephiroth ספירות) of the generations of Adam אדם. In the day that Elohim אלהים created Adam אדם, in the likeness of Elah-Yam אלה-ים (the Sea-Goddess) made he Adam אדם; male and female he (El-HaYam אל-הים, the Sea-God) created them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam אדם, in the day (BeIom ביום) Hibaram הבראם, when they were created by Abraham אברהם, our Innermost).” – Genesis 5: 1, 2
It is important to understand the need to become Adam אדם, a human being. This phrase could be very annoying for people of the profane type. But we, the Gnostics, understand it.
It is possible for Adam אדם, a human being, to be created within us.
And to do this, first it is necessary that we become cognizant of what Adam אדם, a human being, is.
Presently, there are mostly intellectual animals, but they are not human beings. Genesis says:
And Elohim אלהים said, Let us make Adam אדם [the human being] in our image, after our likeness... - Genesis 1:26
Thus, it does not seem to me that the intellectual animal is made in the image and likeness of Elohim אלהים, because Elohim אלהים is not a murderer, nor does Elohim אלהים go to war. Elohim is not a drug addict, nor does Elohim אלהים divide the world into countries with flags and hordes armed to the teeth.
Adam אדם is made in the image and likeness of Elohim אלהים, who is love, therefore Adam אדם, the human being of Genesis, is something that must be comprehended. Until now Adam אדם, has not been comprehended, because Adam אדם, has been interpreted literally.
Who is in the image and likeness of Elohim אלהים? Buddha, Jesus of Nazareth, Kout Humi, Count Saint Germain, Quetzalcoatl, Fu-Ji... but not the intellectual animals.
I would not conceive of Elohim אלהים as a drug addict, adulterer, liar, slanderer, thief, drunkard, fornicator, etc. So, it is absurd to suppose that Adam אדם, the human being, already exists. The human being is something very sacred. That title is too great for earthlings.
Elohim אלהים is the king and queen of creation, and Adam אדם, a human being made in the image and likeness, is king and queen of creation too. Yet, the intellectual animal is not king or queen of creation. If one is not king or queen of oneself, much less is one going to be king or queen of creation. Proof of this is that one is a victim of circumstances. One does not know how to create circumstances. One is always a victim of the routine. So, brothers and sisters, the time has come to reflect a little.
Although it may seem incredible to you, the truth is that I have been entrusted with the mission of creating human beings. What I am saying must be comprehended: I am creating humans with the word, with the verb, with the creative larynx, because I am giving you the doctrine with which human beings are created. Thus, the human being is something that must be created. I am giving you the teachings with the intention of seeing you to become human beings.
It is obvious that in order to become human beings it is necessary to possess a physical body, an astral body, a mental body, a causal body. When these four bodies are formed, then we can incarnate the Being to become human beings. If I tell you how to create your solar bodies and you do it, then you become human beings. Now you will comprehend why I have been entrusted with the mission of creating human beings. So, the human being has not been created. We are going to create it, and that is my mission.
You already know what libido is. It is obvious that you have to know how to transmute it. From the incessant transmutations of the libido, the sidereal body [astral body] of which Paracelsus spoke about to us comes as an outcome. From the subsequent transmutations of the libido, the mental body comes as an outcome, and from the other operations of transmutation of the libido, the body of the cognizant willpower, that is, the causal body, emerges as an outcome.
Speaking in the style of Gurdjieff or Ouspensky, we would say: the Sexual Hydrogen SI-12, through a special shock, goes in a higher octave that is processed in the notes Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Si; that comes to crystallize in the astral body. A second shock of a very special type would make the Hydrogen SI-12 move to a second octave of a higher order, which is processed with the notes Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Si; the crystallization of that hydrogen, a second octave of the transcendental order, comes to take shape in the mental body. Finally a third octave of a higher type, being processed with the notes Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Si, coagulate in the form of the cognizant willpower, the causal body. Then with these bodies, physical, astral, mental, causal, we can incarnate the Being to become human beings.
This is how the human being is born, born of sex. Everything created is born from sex. Where did the birds come from? Sex. The fish that inhabit the ocean, where did they come from? Sex. The creatures that live on the face of the Earth are all born from sex, the same intellectual animal that populates the Earth, all these millions of three-brained or three-centered bipeds are children of sex. So, the human being, how is it going to be born? It is obvious that from the creative force, from the Holy Spirit, from sex as well, only instead of extroverting sex, one must direct the creative force inwards and upwards to create the human being within oneself.
When I speak of the human being, I am also addressing the woman, because she, in her depth, also carries the seed of the human being. It is necessary that the human being be born in us, and only from that seed, from the revolution of that seed itself, from a revolution of the grain can the human being be born.
Friedrich Nietzsche wrote his book "Thus Spoke Zarathustra." It is very beautiful, right? But he sins because of his passion. I still remember one of those sentences, Nietzsche said:
“At that time Zarathustra abode on the shore of the city called, the Multicolored Cow.”
Anyhow, his book begins as follows:
“When Zarathustra was thirty years old, he left his home and the lake of his home and went into the mountains. Here he enjoyed his spirit and his solitude, and for ten years did not tire of it. But at last a change came over his heart, and one morning he rose with the dawn, stepped before the sun, and spoke to it thus:
"You great star, what would your happiness be had you not those for whom you shine?
"For ten years you have climbed to my cave: you would have tired of your light and of the journey had it not been for me and my eagle and my serpent. "But we waited for you every morning, took your overflow from you, and blessed you for it…. Thus began Zarathustra’s down-going.
Zarathustra descended alone from the mountains, encountering no one. But when he came into the forest, all at once there stood before him a monk who had left his holy cottage to look for roots in the woods. And thus spoke the monk to Zarathustra:
… "Zarathustra has changed, Zarathustra has become a child, Zarathustra is an awakened one; what do you now want among the sleepers? You lived in your solitude as in the sea, and the sea carried you. Alas, would you now climb ashore? Alas, would you again drag your own body?"
Zarathustra answered: "I love mankind."
– “I go to where humanity is, I go to the city”...
… As Zarathustra went on his way alone, at the hour when the sun declines, there met him an old woman, and she spoke thus unto his soul:
"Much has Zarathustra spoken also to us women, but never spoke he unto us concerning woman."
And Zarathustra answered her: "Concerning woman, one should only talk unto men…"
Then answered me the old woman: "Many fine things has Zarathustra said, especially for those who are young enough for them.
Strange! Zarathustra knows little about woman, and yet he is right about them! Do this happen, because with women nothing is impossible?
And now accept a little truth by way of thanks! I am old enough for it!
Swaddle it up and hold its mouth: otherwise, it will scream too loudly, the little truth."
"Give me, woman, thy little truth!" said Zarathustra. And thus spoke the old woman:
"Thou goest to women? Do not forget thy whip!” .....
Well, the word “whip” was misunderstood by people. Whip refers to the fact that we, men have to have willpower, meaning, the whip (willpower) must be applied to oneself, in the sexual act, not to lash the wretched women, ever. But people misunderstood it, assuming that the wretched women have to be "flogged"... ...well, we know that Zarathustra, I mean, Nietzsche was a man full of love.
“When Zarathustra came into the next town, which lies on the edge of the forest, he found many people gathered together in the market place... And Zarathustra spoke thus to the people:
"I teach you about the superhuman. The human is something that shall be overcome. What have you done to overcome him?
Zarathustra, however, beheld the people and was amazed. Then he spoke thus: "a human is a rope, tied between beast and the superhuman—a rope over an abyss. A dangerous across, a dangerous on-the-way, a dangerous looking-back, a dangerous shuddering and stopping. What is great in the human is that he is a bridge and not an end: what can be loved in a human is that he is an overture and a going under….”
Here, in this last paragraph of Nietzsche's, lies his fundamental error, if the human being has not been born, where does Nietzsche want to get the superhuman from? The human being does not really exist, what exists is the humanoid, not the human.
Listen, beyond the humanoid is the angel, and the angel itself is a human being, therefore, Nietzsche's error lies in that.
Now, an astral experience comes to my mind, my dear brothers and sisters. I had that astral experience about 40 years ago. Out of the dense physical form, I walked away happily, and there in the distance, I saw a sculpture of Nietzsche, a living sculpture. The statue raised his arms, and the voice cried out saying: “Master, help him,” and I heard a voice in a state of ecstasy, “I will.”
Nietzsche, already disembodied, realized his mistake: if the human being has not been created, where could the superhuman come from? Within the boisterous waves of that immense master;
I came to a certain place, where I knew what my mission was: to deliver a message to the world. We are correcting Nietzsche's teachings. If the human being has not been created, where could the superhuman come from?
We need to create the human being, that is the basic step. But the mistake is to believe that the human being already exists. Do not confuse intellectual animals with human beings. Do not forget the words of Genesis when it says:
“And Elohim אלהים said: Let us make Adam אדם (the Human Being) in our image, after our likeness…. And Elohim אלהים created Ath-HaAdam את־האדם in their own image, in the image of Elohim אלהים created they Adam אדם; male and female created they them.” – Genesis 1: 26, 27
The transcendental human being, the angel, the human being, must have Adam within, which is one's human soul, which is masculine, and his celestial Eve, which is the Spiritual Soul. Now you will understand my dear brothers and sisters, what is written:
“Therefore shall an Aish איש (male fire) leave his father and his mother, and shall attach unto his Ashoth אשת (female fire): and they shall be one in the flesh.” – Genesis 2: 24
“For us men, therefore, the beautiful Helen has charming attraction, since she is the opposite pole. The sisters who listen to us will say: "Well, she is a woman and we are women too; therefore, what attraction can Helen hold for us?” Well, to those sisters, I say that for them the beautiful Helen assumes the aspect of the most beloved, thus it completely changes: it is (Paris) the Prince Charming of your dreams, the Prince of a Thousand and One Arabian Nights. So, for women the Spirit-Soul is polarized in a masculine way, and for us men it takes the form of the Valkyrie. Thus, the Spirit-Soul is always charming. Moreover, keep in mind that when the inner Logoi is already within the Spirit-Soul, the Spirit-Soul seems, as Helena Petrovna Blavatsky said in "The Voice of the Silence":
"An alabaster vase, white and transparent; within which the flame of Prajna that radiates from Atman burns as a steady golden fire." Such is the flame of our interior Logoi.”
So yes, they shall be one within the same flesh, within the same body of that human Being. So, within Adam אדם (the Human Being), within there must be his or her Spiritual Soul, his or her Buddhi.
In other words, within Adam אדם (the human being) is one's human soul or superior manas of which Theosophy speaks. And also, one's Buddhi, the celestial soul, which is feminine within a male, and masculine within a female. Within Buddhi burns the flame of prajna. So, male and female must be understood, that superior manas, that human soul, and buddhi, the spiritual soul within the same flesh, the two, the twins in the same flesh, that is how male and female must be understood.
I do not want to say that our bodies are hermaphrodites. The Lemurians were hermaphrodites. They had female and male organs [in one body] and they reproduced by the asexual gemmation system; that is, the ovule came into the world fertilized; when that egg came out, the creature came out, and fed [from the breasts] of the father-mother.
That true hermaphrodite no longer exists, but we can speak of the hermaphrodite soul. When it is said that Elohim אלהים created Adam אדם in their image and likeness, male and female, it does not refer to the physical form, but rather that within Adam אדם, the human being there is the human soul that is masculine or feminine, and the spiritual soul that is feminine or masculine, both spouses within one flesh, he and she.
Understanding this, we comprehend what Adam אדם, the human being is, made in the image and likeness of Elohim אלהים.
Therefore, to say that the intellectual animals that populate the Earth are human beings is a blasphemy against divinity. Intellectual animals are seeds to create human beings. We who have understood the doctrine, we are going to spread it, we are going to teach it so that the human being can sprout, so that the human being can be born.
The three-brained or three-centered bipeds of the Tower of Babel talk about the conquest of space, sending rockets to the Moon, and believe they are conquering space, have we seen anything more absurd? Starry space? What an absurd thing! Cosmic navigation is for human beings. To have intellectual animals navigating through space would be disorder throughout the universe, an absurdity. Do you think that the directors of humanity would accept such an absurdity? Of course not!
The scientists of the tower of Babel have raised this tower again, to launch themselves into starry space, but the tower will be fulminated, and from this entire perverse civilization of vipers, nothing will be left, not even one stone upon another. To be able to travel through starry space, you need to be a human being. If you are not a human being, you have no such right. The right to navigate space is not for animals. Animals are for populating the Earth. Animals as such should be in their zoological garden, which is the planet Earth.
Like Hirohito who went to visit Europe and was greeted with signs that said, "Hirohito, go to the zoological garden, that's your place." I think that the zoo is not only for Hirohito, but for all of these earthling animals that populate the Earth. They need to be informed that they are three-brained bipeds, that is what they truly are, and that they need to become human beings.
When the Dalai Lama and some other monks summoned me, Master Samael Aun Weor, they were waiting for me in the astral world. Some monks murmured saying, "We are also human beings." I said, "They believe they are human beings. Only a buddha is a human being.” That is why he is made in the image and likeness, that is why he is king of creation. The master informs three-brained or three-centered bipeds that they can become human beings. You are hearing to this, but if you became cognizant of it, you would play every last card to become a human being.
It is necessary that the possibility to become a human being exists within you. It is necessary that you understand that this is not another activity, but that it is a pure reality. It is not a theory that I am discussing. Examine yourselves and you will see that you have not reached the state of human being.
Mind or Minds
Now, let us talk about the mind. When talking about the mind, to which mind do all these pseudo-occultists and pseudo-esotericists refer? Because we know that the ego, the "I", is a sum of different entities: "I am thirsty, angry", "I am hungry". All those "I's" are demons, and any clairvoyant with a sixth sense can see them. Each one of them has their own mind. The three-brained or three-centered biped does not have the mental body. The mind of humanoids is a set of minds made up of all the "I's", so we cannot speak of a single mind, but of many.
Here in the temple you have one mind, you are listening, while you have another mind at home, another mind on the street, another mind when you are doing business... To what mind do the pseudo-esotericists and pseudo-occultists refer if each " I” has its own mind, criteria, ideas? What is the mind that you have in general?
We see what I am saying confirmed in concrete facts: whoever is enthusiastic about these studies today, swears allegiance to the altar, willing to give up the last drop of blood for humanity, and for Gnosis, and then what? The least expected day, he or she abandons the studies of Gnosis, why? Because the "I" that had become enthusiastic is displaced by another "I" that has nothing to do with Gnosis. The mind that studied Gnosis, that swore before the altar, is displaced by another "I" that is interested in something else.
The biped who swears eternal love to a lady later withdraws from her; where are his oaths? The "I" is displaced by another that has nothing to do with that oath. Such are the intellectual animals.
Gurdjieff would say that three-brained bipeds are machines managed by different "I's." Where is the mind? What individual mind do you have? None; you have many minds. Your mind is not individualized.
The internal contradictions of the intellectual animal show that the animal has many minds that fight against each other, minds that argue with each other, minds that flee from each other. The intellectual animal does not have an individual mind. The individual mind must be created in the Forge of the Cyclops by voluntarily transmuting the libido. Only in this way is it possible to create the individual mind, a mind of a human being.
Unfortunately, the three-brained or three-centered biped is very weak. The ironic thing is that he thinks he is Hercules, he thinks he is strong, powerful, but he is too weak, he does not know how to control himself, he is a victim of lust, drugs, alcohol, greed, etc. It takes a great effort from the essence, which is the only decent thing that the intellectual animal has inside, to be able to really resolve to work firmly in the Forge of the Cyclops.
Unfortunately, the essence is trapped, stuffed within those "I's." It is asleep, and it is very difficult to awaken. Thus, the possibility to create the human being is very scarce. It is easy to create intellectual animals, any intellectual animal reproduces, but how difficult it is to create human beings!
I would like you to conquer your weaknesses, to overcome your weaknesses so that you can become human beings. As one of our rituals says:
“Gird thyself with more strength always, thus indeed, thou shalt be ours and thou shalt abide within the everlasting and continuous quietude of our bliss.”
We must gird ourselves with more strength always, but the three-brained bipeds believe that they are very strong when they really are not. A single human being can do wonders. A few human beings in a cosmic ship paralyzed the entire electrical system of New York and neighboring towns for twelve hours, thus, it was astounding to see that multitude of intellectual animals screaming, and this was done only by three or four human beings.
You see how weak humanoids are. Take one to the desert and see how they scream, cry and finally die of hunger and thirst. In their environment they shout a lot, but when outside their environment, they are weak; that is the crude reality of the facts.
It is not through the intellect that we are going to become human beings. Yet, people have an intellect stuffed with theories. With those theories the only thing they achieve is to make them more and more bestial. Observe the state of these university-type youths; they have dedicated themselves to fortifying their intellect, they spend entire years in elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, then in college and after there, they leave to continue stuffing themselves with more theories. In what conditions are those creatures who have been stuck in the classrooms all their lives? In an abnormal state, of course, because they have exclusively developed the intellectual brain, they have abused, let's say, the intellectual brain, they have spent the vital values, the Bobbin-Kandelnosts, speaking in esoteric language, the vital values of the intellectual brain; they have squandered them miserably and end up mentally sick; they know they are sick, but they deceive themselves, they look for escape in alcohol and lust, but all of them are sick, they are full of intellectual manias but they hide it from themselves and from others, their only escape is alcohol and lust. In the long run, they even become impotent, because they have looted their sexual center. Consequently, all of their Sexual Hydrogen Si-12 has been swallowed in their intellectual inquisitions. When the intellectual center is exhausted, it plunders the vital reserves, and likewise the sexual center plunders the intellectual center by reaction and loads itself with the heavy hydrogen of the mind. Conclusion: impotence. They end up sick, terribly sick. So behold, the error of the state in which these intellective people of the new era find themselves.
They should exercise all three brains. Let the intellectual brain receive its enlightenment; likewise the emotional brain, solar plexus, and motor-instinctual-sexual brain... If these youth were taught how to manage the three brains, things would be different. Unfortunately, the intellectual animal believes that based on mere reasoning brain it will solve all the problems of oneself and of the universe, for this reason they abuse the intellect. The intellectual brain is more false, it is not the only brain, and abusing that brain leads to madness. To cultivate the brain of emotions, select music is needed, art in its most expressive forms, serious but dignifying art, dance in its most touching forms, not in its vulgar, arrhythmic form, walks, excursions, more not the abuse of the motor brain. You have to balance the three brains, you have to know how to manage them, because everything cannot be only reasoning. This is living in a harmonious and balanced way.
Personally, I tell you that I don't read, except when a new little school appears. That's where I read those little books to have a general information out there, in case you ask me about said school, but I don't normally read. I like to have direct experience, to learn in the superior worlds of cosmic consciousness, in that way I advance. Anyone can see there in my house, I don't have a big library, I have a few sacred books: The Gospel of the Buddha, the Christian Gospel, the Gospel of the Tao, that is, sacred books. They are the books of the great masters. The Koran... Other books, that of literature, that of intellectualism, I do not have those kind of books. I am not going to damage my mind with so many theories. On the contrary, I always try to keep it empty without theories of any kind, mind still and silent inside and outside. I take the information directly from the superior worlds. How sad it would be to fill your mind with so much theory. You have to be practical and take care of your mind.
