The Heaven of Neptune

Unquestionably, the ninth labor of Heracles, the solar hero, which becomes very complex, is the obtaining of the girdle of Hippolyte, queen of the Amazons, the warrior-women, the feminine psychic aspect of our own interior nature...

When embarking with other legendary heroes, firstly he has to fight against the sons of Minos—the black magicians—then against the enemies of the King Licos (whose exotic name reminds us of the analogy between “wolf” and “light”). They are, of course, the lords of karma with whom we have to arrange our negotiations. Finally, he has to battle with the Amazons—terrible temptresses who are provoked by Hera. Even when Hippolyte had passively consented to grant her girdle, the queen is uselessly sacrificed by the masculine brutality which violently feigns to obtain her innate virtue.

This marvellous girdle, analogous to the one of Venus, is the emblem of femininity. It loses its whole significance and value when it is separated from its legitimate possessor. Therefore, love, not violence, is what makes its conquest truly significant and valuable...

When the God Neptune gained the Atlantean continent, which is now submerged within the boisterous waters of the ocean which carries its name, tradition states that he engendered various children with a mortal woman...

Nearby, on the island where he dwelt, the land was level, but in the middle, there was a very special valley with a little central mount which was fifty stadiums from the sandy beach...

On that mount dwelt one of those beings who was born on the Earth. His name was Evenor, who with his wife Leucipe engendered Clitone, his unique daughter.

When the parents of Clitone died, Neptune married her, and fenced in the place where he abided with various channels of water. In accordance with the legend, it is stated that three of these channels came from the sea and were all of the same distance from the sea. So, these channels walled the place in order to render it unconquerable and inaccessible.

This Clitone or Minerva-Neith built much, from Greece to Athens and in Sais, and she built the famous delta of the Nile...

In memory of them, the Atlanteans built the marvellous Temple of Neptune and Clitone...

The cadavers of the ten sons of Neptune were deposited in that sancta. Ten is a symbolic, magical number...

We cannot leave the study of the number ten without dealing with the obligation of the tithe, an obligation to which the very Abraham voluntarily submitted himself in his relations with the Initiate-King Melchizedeck...

Chapter 15:17-20 of Genesis says:

And the king of Sodom went out to meet Abraham...

And Melchizedeck king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.

And he blessed him, and said, blessed be Abraham of the most high God possessor of heaven and earth:

And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And Abraham gave him tithes of all.

In its exoteric or public aspect within the Jewish legislation, the tithe is the universal obligation that all the brothers and sisters of the path have, which is to loyally contribute part of their income —that should not be inferior to the tithe—in a free and eligible way, in accordance to what the brethren judge to be more opportune and effective in order to support the cause of truth and justice...

The tithe in its esoteric or secret aspect symbolizes the scale of payments in the sphere of Neptune...

It is unquestionable that here we have to arrange affairs with the enemies of the King Licos (the lords of karma).

It is undoubtable that we assassinated the God Mercury, Hiram, and it is not possible to resuscitate him within ourselves, without previously having payed for this abject crime...

Therefore, the tithe becomes a practical and necessary complement of the dynamic principle which emanates from the profound study of the Tenth Commandment, in other words: We must consider the mysterious י Yod which is hidden in the middle of the central delta of the sanctuary of our Being, as a fountain, spring, and spiritual providence of all the interior and divine centers of our life...

This point of the tithe is clarified with the words of the Gospel:

But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven... For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also... - Matthew 6:20-21

Malachi 3:10 says:

Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now here-with, saith the Lord of Hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

With infinite longings I was searching for the treasure of heaven, the golden fleece of ancient times, by excavating into the profound innermost parts of the Averno, working intensely in the “Ninth Sphere...”

The sons of Minos, the adepts of the left-hand path, the Levites of evermore, angrily and incessantly attacked me in the frightful Neptunian abysses...

In this hard battle, I wanted to conquer the girdle of Hippolyte, but the Amazons provoked by Hera indefatigably besieged me with their subtle abysmal enchantments...

One given night (the date, day and hour do not matter now), I was transported to the castle of Klingsor, which is located exactly in Salamanca, Spain...

It is now good to emphatically remember that in this old castle, cited by Wagner in his Parsifal, the “hall of witchcraft” is functioning.

What I then saw in that dismal abode of the harpies was certainly horrifying...

Sinister calchonas of leftist Witches’ Sabbaths attacked me in a tenebrous way many times within the interior of the castle. However, I courageously defended myself with the flaming sword...

My old friend the Angel Adonai—who in these times has a physical body—accompanied me in this adventure...

The lucubrations of those great seers of the astral who were called alchemists, kabbalists, occultists, etc., were not in vain. What we saw then inside this den was certainly frightful...

I unsheathed my flaming sword many times in order to throw flames upon this fatal abode of the necromancer Klingsor...

In an unexpected way, Adonai and I approached some calchonas who were arranging the table for the feast...

In vain I passed my sword through the chest of one of those witches; she remained impassable. Unquestionably, she was awakened in evil and for evil...

It is clear that I wanted to make fire pour as rain from heaven upon that horrendous fortress...

I made supreme efforts; I felt dismayed, and in those instants the Angel Adonai came near to the windows of my eyes in order to see what was happening inside of myself...

Imagine for a moment any person standing before the window of a house, in order to observe through the glass to see what is happening in the interior...

It is clear that the eyes are the windows of the soul, and the angels of heaven can see through those crystals to see what is happening inside each one of us...

After performing this singular observation, Adonai withdrew with satisfaction. My own interior castle, the abode of Klingsor, had been incinerated with the intimate fire...

Each one of us carries inside a fortress of leftist Witches’ Sabbaths. This is not ignored by the mahatmas...

Later, I had to clearly witness the tenebrous aspect of existence. It is clear that Satan has the power of ubiquity. Look at him within yourself, here, there, and everywhere...

When concluding the esoteric labors within the infernos of Neptune, I had then to ascend into the Empireum, the region of the Seraphim, who are creatures of love, direct expressions of the Unity...

Thus, this is how I re-conquered that hierarchial state in the heaven of Neptune, which is the universe of the divine Monads...

Unquestionably, I had attained the girdle of Hippolyte. One night among many, I evidenced this, then I danced with other ineffable beings in a cosmic festivity...

On another night, when floating in the Empireum, while in a Seraphic state, I asked my Mother for the lyre, which I then knew how to play with mastery...
