Introduction

I have written this book in order for you to study it. Please read it carefully; I have written it for you...

Indeed, to know how to read is something very difficult. To read a newspaper is easy, yet this book is different.

Commonly, when we are reading, there is a translator inside of us: the “I,” the ego,⁠¹ the “myself” that translates everything according to its own concepts, ideas, opinions, etc. Therefore, to know how to read is not something very easy.

It is necessary to understand that within us there is something other than just the physical body. We have a body of flesh and bones; this is obvious. Everyone can accept this fact. However, only a few can understand that we have a psychology⁠² that can be modified.

If we really want transformation, we have to understand this psychology.

Those who accept the existence of their own psychology, obviously begin to self-observe. When someone self-observes, it is a signal that one is trying to achieve self-transformation. We need self-transformation.

Life as it is, indeed, is not very attractive. To be born, grow up, grow old, and to die are all something very boring. To work in order to exist and to exist in a psychologically miserable way is worthless.

It is not only those who have money who live in a psychologically miserable manner, but as well, those who do not. This is because there are two ways to wallow in the mud: in the mud of misery and in the mud of wealth. Both ways are psychologically degrading. Therefore, to live in either manner, to exist without a reason, not knowing why and for what, is to live without a psychological purpose.

What are we? What is the reason for our existence? What do we live for? So many problems and in the end, what?

Each one of us is just a machine that transforms energies... It so happens that the energies of the planets, the planetary energies of our solar system, cannot pass directly into our planet. This is because our planet is different; it is a world governed by 48 laws,⁠³ a completely different world than the other worlds of our solar system.

Looking at the planets from this viewpoint, it is obvious that this solar system needs channels in order to allow the passing of the cosmic or universal energies directly into the layers of our planetary organism. It is not enough to allow the energies to pass. The energies need to be transformed through many channels. Thus, only a transformed and adapted energy can be useful to the planet Earth.

Let us take into account that the Earth is a living organism that needs to exist, and that needs cosmic energies in order to do so. Therefore, as we need energies in order to exist, in the same way the Earth needs energy in order to exist and live.

Yet, the energies that the Earth receives for its existence come from other planets of our solar system. I repeat: because our planet is different from other planets, the energy has to be transformed in order to be used to feed our planet Earth. This energy cannot be transformed if there are no channels to pass it through.

Fortunately, these channels exist. They were made by the Sun, and they are the organic life, which as a thin skin was established in the terrestrial layer by the Logos.⁠⁴

Therefore, the thin skin of organic life formed by plants, animals and humans is necessary in order to allow the energy to be transformed and to pass into the inner layers of the Earth. Only in that manner can the Earth exist; otherwise it cannot exist as a living organism.

Therefore, we, as humanoids, are just simple machines through which cosmic energy has to pass. Each one of us receives certain charges of electricity and magnetism that are unconsciously transformed and retransmitted automatically into the inner layers of the Earth. This is the only reason for our existence.

Behold how much bitterness there is in order to just let our Earth, our planet, live and rotate around the Sun. We feel so great, when indeed we are just simple, small energy-transforming machines. Thus, the reason for our existence is just that: to allow this planet to exist. This is the reason for our small lives... Unhappy days... To work in order to eat, to exist just because of Nature’s necessity.

Therefore, Nature does not care about our ideas nor our beliefs. All that Nature wants is to receive the necessary food, the energetic food, that has to pass through our bodies. That is all.

But, behold how we live! Yelling at home or in the streets, suffering under the weight of a tyrant in the factory or in the office, paying our taxes in order to exist as citizens, paying the rent, etc. Absolutely all of this is just so that this planet can exist, so that it can be part of the conjunction of worlds, so that it can be alive.

So many mothers who suffer, so many teenagers who do not have enough money to live, so many mothers who do not even have milk to feed their babies. So many elders with their experiences of life, so many children that are beginning to receive taunts, all of them exist in order for this planet to be alive.

This truth is hard and cruel, or better if I say pitiless; yet, we are that, and nothing else. If at least we were human beings, then we would be something; but we are not even that. We are just poor intellectual animals,⁠⁵ carrying the sadness of our existence. Yes, intellectual animals is what we are. This may seem very pessimistic.

When experiencing celebration, we think that life has its happy moments; but this is because we do not know what happiness really is. We confuse moments of pleasure with authentic and legitimate happiness. Obviously, we are walking on an erroneous path.

What is that which remains after pleasure? Only disillusions and deception! How many times has a man and a woman who think they are in love get married and later realize that they were just fascinated. That was not love; they thought that it was love, but it was not. Love was confused with passion. So, once the animal passion is satisfied, what remains in that couple is the loathing, the saturation, the deception. That is all. Afterwards, everything becomes a routine. They speak only of bank accounts, rent, the clothes that need to be washed, that they need breakfast on time to go to work, etc. Sometimes we take a walk in order to find an escape from the boredom, or we go to a party and we end up in a huge drunken state.

Thus, in this way life is passing by until the moment that we become old. Once we are elders, we feel like veterans. We enjoy the calls of our grandchildren; we enjoy being called “grandpa, grandma” and we like to tell the tales of our sad experiences (which we feel very proud about). Our life is filled with comments like, “In my time, the president did this and that, etc.” We recount our fights, about the battles that we participated in, and we possibly even display our wounds of war that make us feel proud... Just sadness! The usual conversations, “Our brother has died,” “Our cousin lost his fortune,” or “Those times were better,” etc. Thus, in the end death comes... So the outcome of our unhappy life is death. This is what we get after having worked and suffered so much!

Fortunately, the Sun⁠⁶ is compassionate. Something secret exists within its creation; this is also truth. So, the Sun has created this humanity as simple small machines that help its creation. That is Nature, but it is also true that the Sun wants to create something else.

The Logos does not create this Nature, it does not create organic life in a world that moves around the Sun just for diversion, without a logical goal. It would not be logical to have created this planet for nothing. To create something without a goal would be the absurdity of absurdities. I think that not even you would do it. You would not create an invention and suffer for it, spend a life for it, and later destroy it. Therefore, you must understand that this creation has an objective.

The solar intelligence charges a price for the creation of the thin skin of organic life upon the face of the Earth. The solar intelligence wants to get something from it; it has an interest in it.

The goal of the solar intelligence is to obtain a harvest of solar human beings. The idea is not bad at all; yet, it is difficult. It is, indeed, a tremendous and hard experiment in the test tube of Nature. This is what the solar intelligence wants: to create solar human beings.

Diogenes and his lamp comes into my mind in this moment. One day, Diogenes walked through the streets of Athens with a lamp in his hand trying to find a true man, yet he could not find one. He looked in the houses, rooms, corridors, and yards of the wise citizens of Athens... “What are you looking for, Diogenes?” they all asked him.

“A human..!” Diogenes answered.

“The streets and the public forums are full of humans!” they said.

He answered, “Those are not human, they are beasts, since they eat, sleep and live as beasts!” To that end, he visited the homes of scientists, artists, and everywhere he was doing the same thing. It is obvious that he was making more and more enemies as he was visiting their homes. Everybody ended up feeling very offended by Diogenes...

Yet, he was right: he did not find a single human! Many wanted to believe that he found one somewhere. The followers of Marat thought that he had found one in a cave, and that it was Marat. Absurd! The truth is that he did not find any human. If Marat was a human, good for him, yet to find a real human (a solar human being) is indeed difficult.

Diogenes lived in a barrel, and there he ate and slept; he did not even have a house. It is stated that before Diogenes died, he was visited by Alexander the Great. Alexander was the one who put Europe and Asia under his rule. So, a simple man like Diogenes who lived in a barrel even threw out Alexander the Great.

Alexander found Diogenes lying in the sun in agony. When Diogenes saw so much company near him, he raised himself a little and vouchsafed to look upon Alexander. When Alexander kindly asked him whether he wanted anything, Diogenes said, “Yes, I would prefer that you not stand between me and my Sun (that is to say, between him and his inner God).” Alexander was so struck at this answer that he did not have any other choice than to just go away. A humble man like Diogenes threw out Alexander the Great. This is something that not everyone can do; is it not so?

Authentic humans, true human beings in the most complete sense of the word, are very hard to find.

Fortunately, the Sun has deposited in the sexual glands the seed needed in order to create the authentic human. This seed could develop if we were to cooperate with the Sun. Then, we no longer would be simple speaking machines as we are currently, since we would transform ourselves into real humans, into kings and queens of creation.

Therefore, to state that this humanity is made up by humans is an exaggeration. I understand that the human being is the lord, the king, the queen of creation. The Bible states that the human was made to govern the animal and plant species, to govern the ocean, the air, and the fire. Therefore, if one is not a king, if one is not a queen of creation, then one is not an authentic human.

Who of you can govern the elements? Who of you can provoke a storm? Who of you is able to appease a fire? Who of you is able to activate the volcanoes of the Earth, or to make the earth to tremble, to produce an earthquake or to calm it? If we are not lords of creation, then we are not human, because in the Bible it is written that the human is the king of creation. Therefore, are we kings or not? If we are victims of circumstances, if an earthquake kills thousands of people, as is happening in the whole world, then what do you think? Are we victims of circumstances? Where are the human beings? If the elements can destroy us in the same manner as we destroy an anthill with our foot, then where are the qualities of the true human that everybody states we have?

Indeed, even if we presume we are humans, we are in reality nothing more than simple intellectual animals who are sentenced to live the sadness of life. Yet, the seed of the true human exists within our glands. Yes, such a seed can transform us into solar humans. This seed can germinate within us if we cooperate with the Sun and its solar ideas. The Sun has created this root race not only to be useful to the economy of Nature, but also with the clear intention of attaining a harvest of solar humans.

In the times of Abraham the prophet, the Sun acquired a beautiful harvest of solar humans. During the first eight centuries of Christianity, another small harvest was reaped. In the Middle Ages, a few more. Presently, the Sun is performing the last effort; it has been working its last effort, because the perverse humanity of this present century has become an enemy of the solar ideas. This humanity is terribly materialistic, mechanical and one hundred percent lunar. This is why the Sun is now making a last effort; it is trying to get a small harvest of solar humans. Later, once the harvest is ready, the Sun will destroy this root race because it is no longer useful for its experiment.

What is this race useful for? There is already no reason for the existence of this race. It is not useful for the solar experiment. This humanity is made up of people that have no interest in the solar ideas. This root race thinks only of their bank accounts, of new cars, of the actors and actresses in Hollywood. These are people who only want passionate, sexual pleasures, drugs, etc.

Obviously, this humanity is not useful for the solar experiment. People like this have to be destroyed, and this is what the Sun is going to do. The Sun will destroy these people and will create a new root race in new continents that will emerge from the bottom of the ocean.

Very soon, the present continents will be at the bottom of the oceans. The palaces of governments, the municipal houses, the rich mansions will be lairs for seals and fish. This is the reality! New lands will emerge from the oceans in which, obviously, there will be new people, a special, different race that could be useful to the solar experiment.

This is the reality. I am stating this in anguishing times, in times where the people do not believe in the end of the world, in times in which the people say, “Let us eat and drink, because tomorrow we will die,” in times in which people are only concerned about their bank accounts, fashion, gossip, drugs, or lewdness.

Therefore, I am stating all of this with the intention of inviting you to reflect...

Is it possible for the solar seed to germinate? Yes, as the butterfly is born inside of the chrysalis; likewise, the seed exists in order to make the true human to be born inside of us. But, first of all, it is necessary to have the suitability of being a human. If the suitability of being a human does not exist, the human cannot be born inside of us.

The seed exists, yet it can be lost, and this is normal since this seed is very difficult to germinate. We need to develop this seed. We can do it if we cooperate with the Sun.

So, this present humanity has three percent awakened consciousness and ninety-seven percent of their consciousness asleep. That is why it is in such a critical state.

People in general want to see, hear, touch or experience the great realities of the superior worlds, namely to remember their past reincarnations, to talk with the angels, etc. However, unfortunately, as we have already stated, people have three percent awakened consciousness and ninety seven percent of their consciousness asleep.

Therefore, whosoever wants to experience the great realities of the interior worlds, such as the astral world, the mental world, the spiritual world, etc., has to become a solar human with an awakened consciousness. To attain this, one has to have the resolution of psychologically dying from moment to moment. This is indispensable.

First of all, it is necessary to know that we have a pluralized “I” or ego within each one of us. Such an “I” is Seth from Egyptian mythology, who is a conjunction of “red devils” as it was stated by the ancient priests of the land of the Pharaohs.

Thus, these submerged entities, which personify the ego or Seth, as we already stated, are the semblance of our own particular defects.

Our consciousness is bottled up, trapped, asleep within each one of those entities. Therefore, our consciousness acts in accordance with its conditioning; that is to say, it definitively advances along the path of error. This is because the nature of our consciousness is unfortunately egoic.

If we want to awaken in order to see, hear, touch or experience everything from the superior dimensions, such as to converse with the solar humans or masters of the White Fraternity,⁠⁷ then it is necessary to totally destroy Seth, the ego, the red devils, the psychological “I’s.”

Only through this annihilation can the consciousness become emancipated, liberated, and radically awakened.

When the consciousness awakens, then we can see the secret path. When the consciousness awakens, we can place ourselves in contact with the divine solar humanity who live in the Jinn lands.⁠⁸ When the consciousness awakens, we can then remember our past reincarnations or visit other inhabited planets or talk face to face with the solar angels of the mahamanvantara,⁠⁹ etc.

Therefore, dear reader, only with the awakened consciousness can we have direct knowledge. Hence, while we do not attain direct knowledge, we are nothing other than intellectual ignoramuses who repeat like parrots what others say. That is all.

We need to experience with our consciousness all that we study. We need to drink directly from the fountain of the solar wisdom. I, Samael Aun Weor, can teach you and am teaching you what I know, what I experienced, what I have lived, not only in this present reincarnation, but also in my past reincarnations. Moreover, I can talk with you in a blunt and sincere way about events of past cosmic days, because I was active in past cosmic days. Therefore, I can give testimony of what I directly experienced, of what I saw and heard. This is not a crime.

Therefore, allow me to sincerely tell you that in order to awaken the consciousness and to become a solar human, one needs tremendous esoteric discipline.

So, dear reader, in order to be a psychologically awakened individual, an illuminated one, a solar being, it is indispensable to dissolve the ego.

To comprehend each one of our defects is not enough. It is necessary to know how to eliminate them.

Krishnamurti talks to us about comprehension. He is right because it is necessary to comprehend each one of our errors. If for instance one wants to eliminate the defect of anger, then one needs to comprehend that particular “I.” We need to perform the meditation, the reflection on this particular anger, in order to know its most secret impulses. Since there are many sources of anger, one can be angry for this or that reason. For instance, one can be angry because somebody hurt our self-esteem or because of jealousy or because of an emotional frustration or because of a reaction when listening to a certain unpleasant word. Anger has too many faces.

Once one has comprehended the secret impulse of any explosion of anger in any given moment, then one has to be assisted by a superior force. This superior force is within each one of us. It is the serpentine solar fire who can activate our solar power that is enclosed, as is stated by the Hindus, within the Muladhara chakra, which is situated in the coccyx. I am emphatically referring to Devi Kundalini,⁠¹⁰ the serpentine solar fire, who can activate our solar powers.

One needs to work with her, with the Kundalini. Yes, one needs to be assisted by her; one needs to ask her, to beg her, to beseech her to eliminate that “I” of anger, that one that was comprehended in depth, that one that was studied through deepest meditation and reflection.

The procedure is the same for any psychological defect, trauma etc. For it is not enough to comprehend the secret impulses of an explosion of jealousy or the origin of certain hatred. One needs to go further beyond and to be assisted by a superior power. This is the Kundalini.

The mind is not capable of eliminating a defect. The mind can label it with many names, it can move the defect from one level into another; yet, it cannot disintegrate it, it cannot reduce it into dust.

Therefore, if we want to reduce this or that defect which is personified in this or that “I” into dust, then besides comprehension, one needs elimination. In order to eliminate, one needs to be assisted by Devi Kundalini.

Devi Kundalini is the serpentine solar fire who can activate our solar powers. She is that fiery serpent or serpent of brass who healed the Israelites in the wilderness.
