The Two Witnesses

1. “And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.

2. “And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:

3. “And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.” —Zechariah 4:1-3

4. “Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?

5. “And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?

6. “And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.

7. “Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.” —Zechariah 4:11-14

8. The two olive branches that through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves are the two nadis Ida and Pingala.

9. In the male, Ida rises from the right testicle and Pingala from the left testicle.

10. In the female, Ida rises from the left ovary and Pingala from the right ovary.

11. These (Ida and Pingala) are the two olive trees (of the temple), the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. These are the two witnesses, “and if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth and devoureth their enemies.” —Revelation 11:4, 5

12. The solar and lunar atoms of our seminal energy rise through these two ganglionic cords named Ida and Pingala.

13. In men, the right nasal cavity is related with Pingala. The left nasal cavity is related with Ida.

14. It is stated that in men the solar atoms enter through the right nasal cavity and that the lunar atoms enter through the left nasal cavity. In women, it is the opposite.

15. The yogis and yoginis who have not been initiated in the school of internal mysteries practice pranayama with the intention of attracting into the magnetic field of their nose millions of solar and lunar atoms from the exterior world.

16. However, the initiated yogi/yogini-esotericist does not search outside in the world of Maya. The initiated yogi/yogini-esotericist searches within the Self.

17. When an initiated yogi/yogini-esotericist practices pranayama, they only want to make their sexual energy rise from their testicles/ovaries to the sacred chalice of their brain.

18. Pranayama is an esoteric system in order to transmute the semen into Christic energy.

19. Pranayama is a system of transmutation for the sexual energy.

20. When the initiated yogi/yogini-esotericist inhales the Prana or Vital Christ through the right nasal cavity and exhales the Prana through the left nasal cavity, and vice versa, when one inhales through the left nasal cavity and exhales through the right nasal cavity, what one wants is not to attract external atoms as the profane believe, but rather, to raise the solar and lunar atoms from the testicles or ovaries to the magnetic field at the root of the nose.

21. The clairvoyant who observes the ganglionic cords Ida and Pingala of a yogi/yogini in the moments of practicing pranayama will see the pure waters of Amrita, the primordial waters of Genesis, ascending through these two nadis.

22. Swara is the breathing science. Swara is the sacred science of respiration.

23. “Ton-Sah-Ham are the mantras of inspiration. Ton Rah-Ham those of expiration whose ends [in the testes and ovaries] correspond to the rhythmic contraction and expansion of matter (undifferentiated cosmic, Prakriti, Mula-Prakriti).”

24. “After the mantra Swa-Ra is formed the sublime Swara, of which it is said in verse 15 of the Zhivagama: In the Swara are the Vedas and the Zastras (sacred books of the Hindus) —In the Swara is the highest Gandharva (celestial musician). In the Swara are the three worlds. The swara is the reflection of Parabrahman (the only absolute whole). That is why some authors exclaim: Swara is life and add: Swara is music...

25. “Swara later forms the basis of the Tattvas, since these are the five modifications of the Great Breath.” —Huiracocha, Biorhythm

26. Now and then, the Great Breath is the Cosmic Christ, Avalokiteshvara, Kwan-Yin, the Melodious Voice, the Army of the Voice, whose head is a paramarthasatya known in this humanity with the name of Jesus Christ.

27. Jesus Christ is the greatest initiate who has come into the world.

28. The Army of the Voice is the “Merkabah.” The coachman of that chariot is Jesus Christ, the divine Rabbi of Galilee.

29. Jesus Christ is an inhabitant of the Absolute who renounced the happiness of SAT, the Unmanifested, to come into the world with swara, the reflection of Parabrahman.

30. Therefore, pranayama is the Christic science of the Great Breath or Cosmic Chrestos.

31. That great universal Breath of Life, the Cosmic Christ, abides within our Christonic semen.

32. When they are practicing pranayama, the yogi/yogini works with the Great Breath or Cosmic Chrestos that is deposited within the Christonic semen.

33. “Pranayama (the practice that consists of taking deep breaths, holding the inspired air for as long as possible and then exhaling it until the lungs are empty) also teaches two poles of energy, one masculine and the other feminine. The first locates it in the brain (cerebrospinal system) and the other in the heart (sympathetic system). But just as by forming two poles in space, making a magnet work, we undoubtedly create new energies and the unconquered birth of a third pole is forced...” —Huiracocha, Biorhythm

We affirm that the third pole is Devi Kundalini, which, from the union of the solar and lunar atoms, is born within the Triveni, situated in the coccyx.

34. These two polarities, masculine and feminine—from the Great Breath—prove the sexuality of Prana and Kundalini.

35. Kundalini is absolutely sexual.

36. People have the tendency of seeing sex as something filthy and horribly passionate. The yogi/yogini is ahead of Dsa, Ushti, Uste (desire) and reverently prostrates before the Gnostic mysteries of sex, because they consider that sex is a sacred function of Devi Kundalini.

37. The yogi/yogini knows that the waters of Amrita (Christonic semen) are the habitat of fire.

38. The yogi/yogini knows that the entire force of the Solar Logos abides within the seed of any plant, animal and human.

39. The yogi/yogini knows that sex is a holy force and that it must not be corrupted with fornication.

40. The right nasal cavity in men is called Surya [sun] or Pingala. Respiration through this nostril causes the ascension of solar atoms from our seminal system.

41. The left nasal cavity is called Chandra [moon] or Ida. Respiration through this nostril causes the ascension of lunar atoms from our seminal system.

42. With exercises of pranayama, we reinforce the three breaths of pure akasha. These three breaths are combined with the solar and lunar atoms of our seminal system to awaken Devi Kundalini.

43. Prana is the Vital Christ or Great Breath. That Vital Christ is modified into Akasha, within which is hidden the Son, the First Begotten, the Purusha of every human being.

44. Akasha is modified into ether, and the ether is transformed into tattvas. The tattvas are the origin of fire, air, water, and earth.

45. Therefore, everything that exists, everything that has been, and everything that shall be comes from the Great Breath, the Cosmic Christ, the Army of the Voice, whose supreme commander is Jesus Christ.

46. Paranishpanna (absolute happiness) without paramartha (awakened consciousness) is not happiness.

47. Jesus Christ attained paramartha and paranishpanna; nonetheless, he renounced the happiness of the Unmanifested Absolute to come and save human beings and gods.

48. When the Elohim or glorious dhyanis started to weave on the loom of God, they cried with pain when contemplating the twilight of the Uncreated Light that seemed to sink as a frightful setting sun.

49. Then Jesus Christ, the great paramarthasatya, passed through the dhyani-pasa and came into the cosmic garden to save the gods, whose innumerable virginal sparks or jivas are devolving and evolving during this mahakalpa.

50. I, Samael Aun Weor, was a witness of all of these things. I saw when that great being entered the sanctuary and signed a pact of salvation for human beings and he crucified himself on his cross.

51. I witnessed the dawn of the mahamanvantara and give testimony of all of these things.

52. Later on, at the dawn of the fourth round, the master sent his buddha in order for him to prepare himself in this valley of tears. That buddha is his soul called Jesus.

53. And his Buddha lit his seven eternal lamps.

54. And his Buddha raised his seven serpents throughout the seven canals of the candlestick.

55. Thus, when his Buddha Jesus of Nazareth was prepared there in the Jordan, his resplendent Dragon of Wisdom entered within him in order to preach to human beings and gods.

56. The sacrifice already happened on that occasion. The commander of all Cosmic Christs, Jesus of Nazareth, already washed with his blood all the sins of the sanctuary and signed the pact between human beings and Kwan-Yin, the Army of the Voice, Vishnu, Osiris, the Great Breath.

57. Jesus is the supreme conciliator between the human being and divinity.

58. The nadis Ida and Pingala are the subtle conductors of sukshma-prana, the Christic sexual energy.

59. “Ida and Pingala... meet with Sushumna Nadi at the chakra Muladhara...

60. “The junction of these three nadis at the Muladhara chakra is known as Mukta Triveni.. Again these three meet at the Anahata and Ajna chakras...

61. “Ida is cooling and Pingala is heating.”

62. “Pingala digests the food.

63. “Ida is of pale, Sakti Rupa. It is the great nourisher of the world. Pingala is of fiery red, Rudra Rupa.” —Swami Sivananda, Kundalini Yoga

64. The yogi/yogini can retain the Prana that circulates through the nadi Sushumna at the point called Brahmarandhra, located in the frontal fontanel of newborn babies.

65. Thus, this is how the yogi/yogini can defy death and live entire ages.

66. However, this is only possible for the yogi/yogini that has received the Elixir of Long Life.

67. That elixir is a gas and a liquid.

68. That white-colored gas is electropositive and electronegative.

69. That gas remains deposited in the vital depth; thus the initiates can keep their physical bodies alive for millions of years.

70. This liquid makes the physical body subtle.

71. Thus, the physical body is absorbed within the ethereal body and becomes indestructible.

72. The nadis Ida and Pingala are found side to side of the spinal medulla.

73. These nadis entwine around the spinal medulla in similar shape to the number eight.

74. The heavenly path is inside the nadi Sushumna.

75. The Kundalini ascends through Brahmanadi.

76. The Brahmanadi is found situated inside another very subtle canal that runs throughout the length of the spinal medulla and is known by the name Chitra.

77. The seven chakras known by the names Muladhara, Svadhisthana, Manipura, Anahata, Vishuddha, Ajna, and Sahasrara are over this nadi Chitra.

78. Buddhi (the Divine Soul) becomes united with Shiva (the Innermost) when the Kundalini reaches the chakra Sahasrara. This is the First Initiation of Major Mysteries.

Pranayama Exercise

79. Let the disciple sit on the ground, crossing one’s legs in the oriental style. This position is called padmasana in India.

80. Shut the left nasal cavity with the index finger and inhale the prana through the right nasal cavity.

81. Now, retain the air while shutting both nasal cavities with the index finger and the thumb.

82. Exhale the air through the left nasal cavity while shutting the right nasal cavity; inhale now through the left nasal cavity. Retain the air again and exhale through the right nasal cavity.

83. When you are inhaling the air, imagine the sexual energy ascending through the nadi related with the nasal cavity through which you are inhaling the prana.

84. When you are sending the inhaled prana downwards, think of the Three Breaths of pure Akash descending through the nadis Sushumna, Ida, and Pingala, to awake the chakra Muladhara where the Kundalini abides.

85. Prana is the purifying fire that cleans the scoria that plugs the nadis.

86. With the sexual transmutation of pranayama, the veils of rajas and tamas are dissipated.

87. With the practice of pranayama, the mind of the student is prepared for dharana, dhyana, and samadhi.

88. The disciple should practice pranayama ten minutes daily.

89. After finishing the practice, the disciple should drink a glass of milk or eat any light food.

90. Disciples can also practice while standing firmly on their feet.

91. The disciple should slowly inhale and exhale with one’s mind very well concentrated in the practice of pranayama.

92. There are many asanas and exercises of pranayama, but the former exercise of pranayama is enough for the transmutation of the student’s sexual energies.

93. The disciples can also sit on a comfortable sofa to perform their practices.

94. Before starting one’s practices, the disciple must pray to one’s Innermost by meditating profoundly on Him.

95. The disciple must be profoundly concentrated on one’s chakra Muladhara and begging to one’s Purusha (the Innermost) for the awakening of the Kundalini.

96. Oriental Yoga gives a great variety of exercises for pranayama.

97. Let us see:

“...deep breathing exercise, Sukha Purvaka (easy comfortable) Pranayama during walking, Pranayama during meditation, Rhythmical breathing, Suryabheda, Ujjayi, Sitkari, Sitali, Bhastrika, Bhramari, Murchha, Plavini, Kevala Kumbhaka, etc.” —Swami Sivananda, Kundalini Yoga

98. All of these innumerable varieties of practices and Asanas (postures) served for the descending arch of the evolving life; yet, now we are starting an ascending arch of evolution, and therefore, that enormous quantity of postures and exercises are antiquated for the new Aquarian era.

99. Now the yogis/yoginis of the new Aquarian era live a life of intense activity within the cities, and they do not need to withdraw into the solitary forests, because we are initiating the new Aquarian era. This era is of sociability, cooperation, and confraternity amongst all human beings without distinction of schools, races, sexes, castes, or religions.

100. All the exercises of pranayama can be executed in our home without too many complications, and without abandoning the execution of all the responsibilities with our family, society, and humanity.

101. The yogis/yoginis must be absolutely chaste, otherwise they will fail totally.
