The Twenty-Two Arcana That Reveal the Path Back to Paradise

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

“...the tree of life [Kabbalah] also in the midst of the garden, and [Alchemy] the tree of knowledge of goodness and impurity.” —Bereshit / Genesis 2

The most ancient sciences in the world are Alchemy and Kabbalah, knowledge hidden in the depths of every great religion and mystical tradition.

Modern scientists are only recently discovering what these ancient teachings have always known: that we are a part of a multidimensional universe, and that our consciousness, our awareness, can expand to perceive matter and energy that are invisible to the flesh. Just as physics and chemistry illuminate our understanding of the physical world, their higher counterparts are Alchemy and Kabbalah, and offer a practical method to awaken the consciousness and fully develop the human being, opening the doors to vast worlds that are hidden from the physical senses.

This awakening or alchemical birth requires a precise method, for everything depends upon causes and conditions. Hidden in centuries of mystical texts and obscure drawings are the specific instructions that lead towards the opening of their inner senses and the entrance into a higher life. The Philosopher’s Stone, the secret of transmuting lead into gold, and many other sacred mysteries long restricted to initiates who had proven their trustworthiness were publicly revealed for the first time by the author Samael Aun Weor.

These mystical sciences are hidden in the twenty-two Hebrew letters and primary Tarot cards. Now, see for yourself how these ancient traditions are all truly one science. Discover the keys to unlock the mysteries hidden in scriptures, mystical texts, and enigmatic images, and most importantly, the mysteries hidden within us.

The Secret Teachings of Christianity in the Revelation or Apocalypse of John

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

What was hidden for almost two thousand years is finally revealed.

Everyone has heard of symbols from the Revelation or Apocalypse of John, such as the Antichrist, the number 666, Armageddon, the end of days, the Rapture, the Second Coming, the four horsemen, and more. 

For centuries, Revelation has remained the most mysterious and interesting scripture of Christianity, filled with haunting imagery, powerful dramatic events, and frightening warnings for humanity, yet its true meanings were never permitted to be be revealed. 

John, an initiate of secret, esoteric Christianity, placed these cryptic symbols in Revelation as a "time capsule" to be opened on a future day, and in spite of countless theories and beliefs, the secrets of Revelation have been preserved behind their arcane language, awaiting the moment when they are most needed by humanity. That day has arrived. 

For the first time, the hidden secrets of Revelation are made clear and accessible to anyone. In The Aquarian Message, Samael Aun Weor shows how everything in Revelation and Christianity is based on Kabbalah (of which Jesus was a master), esoteric Christianity, alchemy, Tarot, and other ancient sciences. In this book you will discover that every symbol in Revelation is about you, your spiritual state, and the future it is taking you towards. You will discover how through deep personal change you can escape suffering and the approaching cataclysms, and instead enter into a superior level of experience. What John hid in Revelation was not something to believe, but something to experience for oneself. Now, with the practical teachings given in The Aquarian Message, you can. 

"We have studied the verses of the book of Revelation (Apocalypse) in the Superior Worlds. We give the result of our investigations in this book. Much has been said and written about the Apocalypse. However, only intellectual speculations have been made and the words of various authorities have been repeated. The present work is the result of tremendous esoteric investigations that were patiently performed by us in the Superior Worlds. We have found the Apocalypse to be divided into three parts: the first we have entitled “The Son of Man,” the second “The Sealed Book” and the third “The New Jerusalem.” The first part teaches the Path of the Razor’s Edge. The second is related with the times of the end. The third tells us of the future earth. This is a book of practical christification. This is a book of transcendental esotericism and it is absolutely practical." —Samael Aun Weor

The Ancient Americans, Meditation, and the Astral Body

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

They gave us chocolate, corn, guacamole, and chiles, and have even more to offer spiritually.

The people who inhabited America before our contemporary civilization were as complex, intelligent, and lovely as any who live today, and their cultures were as varied, contradictory, and expressive. They were great artisans, poets, warriors, thinkers, astronomers, mathematicians. Yes, the ancient Americans degenerated, exactly like our beloved Greeks and Romans, yet the former cultures of the Americas remain widely ignored. Most importantly, at its heart the mysticism of the ancient Americans is completely in harmony with the mysticism of the Egyptians, Buddhists, Christians, Greeks, Jews, Hindus, and so on, and when we study them all, we start to see the place they come from: the one, universal religion.  

In Aztec Christic Magic, Samael Aun Weor illuminates many of the significant symbols of the Aztec spiritual tradition, while also providing a series of practical methods to awaken consciousness and experience the truth for ourselves. Through meditation, awakening in the world of dreams, and transmuting the sexual energy, anyone can rise out of suffering and establish a life of happiness.

“The world of ignorance is governed by fear, hate, greed, and lust. In it wander men and women floating listlessly, to and fro, upon their passions only. Only when the human being realizes the spiritual verities of life does he then escape from this underworld... The sun of truth rises in the human being and illuminates his world when he lifts his mind from the darkness of ignorance and selfishness into the light of wisdom and altruism." —Samael Aun Weor

What Happens When We Die and How to Prepare Now to Take Advantage of It

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

Although most of us prefer to avoid the topic of death, it is an inevitable event that we must come to terms with, especially if we are serious about our spiritual development. For the experienced spiritual aspirant, death ceases to be a source of fear or uncertainty, and instead is revealed to be what it truly is: a doorway, an integral part of existence, and an opportunity to elevate our consciousness.

The ancient teachings tell us that if we want to know what happens when we die, we must look to what happens when we sleep each night. When we die we enter the same world we dream within, but instead of returning to the deceased body we are propelled towards a new birth. If each night when we sleep we practice to enter the world of dreams with awareness, then when the moment of our death arrives we will be prepared to exit the body with awareness, and be capable of influencing what happens to us after death. That is the importance of astral projection: being awake in the dimension of dreams.

Samael Aun Weor wrote this book based on his own personal experiences of this process, while awakened in both the inferior and superior dimensions. Through anecdotes and by answering questions from students, he explains the recurrence of phenomena — the mechanical repetition of behaviors, events, and circumstances — that spin the wheel of nature around and around, which is the basis of our return into new bodies, and our repeated sufferings and problems. In Beyond Death, you will learn about the process of preparing for your own death, while also learning about how to negotiate karma, understand ghosts, magic, reincarnation, the dimensions of existence, kabbalah, the role of kundalini (pentecost) in the disintegration of our defects, and ultimately, how to guide yourself towards a higher way of living, even beyond death.

The Forgotten Purpose of Christianity

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

The energy that liberates a human being from suffering is known around the world by many names, such as Christ, Osiris-Ra, Quetzalcoatl, Jupiter, Avalokitesvara, etc. That is, Christ is a force at the very foundation of existence, and which can emerge in a properly prepared individual. Such a pure, divine energy can only be born in us through an immaculate conception, that mysterious symbol present in every great mythological and religious tradition. Bringing the Christ into the world is the duty of the Virginal Mother.

The ancient Christian tradition represented the Virgin Mother just as the Egyptians did: as a virtuous, chaste woman blessed with the sacred duty of giving birth to the savior of the world. Unfortunately, over the centuries, the public was not taught about the true importance or nature of the Divine Mother, or how to work with her. Now, with the knowledge written in this book, anyone can have the precious experience of talking to their own inner Divine Mother, and be prepared for the birth of Christ within, which is the beginning of the Direct Path to absolute liberation.

Topics include:

• What are Christ and Christianity?
• What is the Aquarian Age?
• The essential foundation of all religions
• Prophecies coming true now
• Immaculate conceptions, both spiritual and physical

Kundalini, Tarot, and the Christification of the Human Soul

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

“Throughout the aeons, fear and the longing for security enslaved the body of will, turning it into a personal, defensive barrier. Fear and the longing for security have transformed human will into a wretched victim... The moment has arrived to liberate your human will from the horrible prejudices and tenebrous, ancestral fear and tendencies. Rejoice, oh buddha, since now your human will shall become Christ’s will... Christ’s will is heroic. Christ’s will only bows and kneels before the will of the Father.” —Samael Aun Weor

Those who have completed the first four Initiations of Major Mysteries must begin the fifth, the creation of the causal body, which is related with willpower. Through the first four initiations, the initiate raised the kundalini in the physical body, vital body, astral body, and mental body, making the Innermost a Buddha. Now, with the fifth serpent of fire, the will of the Human Soul (Tiphereth) must reflect the will of the Father (Chesed), so that the will of Christ can be finally emerge. As the kundalini rises through each vertebra of the spinal column, the initiate must pass tests that are symbolized in the first thirty-three arcana of the Tarot. When completed, the human will becomes Christ’s will. Then one is prepared for the incarnation of Christ and the entrance into the straight path (the path of the bodhisattva), upon which, as Christ’s will, one performs greats sacrifices for suffering humanity.

“The fundamental objective of our esoteric studies is to reach Christification... The inner Christ is what counts. Unfortunately, people only think about an historical Christ, and this is how they separate themselves from reality. They forget that Christ is what is, which always has been, and what will always be. They forget that Christ is the life that beats in each atom, as it beats in each Sun. They forget that Christ vibrates from instant to instant, from moment to moment. To incarnate Christ is fundamental.” —Samael Aun Weor

Truth and Lies about UFOs, Other Humanities, and Our Future

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

In 1950, while discussing flying saucers with three other physicists at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, Enrico Fermi asked, “Where is everybody?” as if to say, if there is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, why do we have no proof?  For sixty years, scientists and the public have debated the answer to this question, yet none have considered what Samael Aun Weor explains in Cosmic Ships:

“We are absolutely sure that the cannibals from Africa and the Amazon also felt very annoyed when they could not capture an explorer. Regarding concrete facts about flying saucers, people want to proceed like cannibals, however, it is clear that the crews of those cosmic ships—who know human savagery very well—are not willing to let themselves be ensnared, since they know very well the fortune that awaits them—that is, the intellectual-loafers would make them prisoners, the ships would be seized and used for war, etc.”

Logical analysis of the facts demonstrates not only the existence of advanced humanities and life on other planets, but their presence on our planet. There are thousands of documented cases of unexplained ships, hundreds of cases of governments hiding what they know, and decades of an attempt to encourage the populace to discard the facts as fantasy or foolishness. Through stories from his own experience and analysis of well-known events, Samael Aun Weor shows that much of what we believe about extraterrestrials is false, based on fear, stubborn skepticism, and outright lies. He explains how easy it is for advanced humanities to hide from us, and why they must: because we are so consumed by psychological defects like pride, greed, and envy that we are a danger to ourselves and the universe. That is why they are here: to understand why we are such savages, and how to help us change for the better. It is time for us to stop trying to capture or destroy them, and welcome their assistance.

How to be Born Again: the Science to Create the Superhuman

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

"Whosoever is dressed with the cloud of virtue is liberated from sufferings..." —Samael Aun Weor

Scriptures like the Vedas and Genesis symbolically describe the laws of creation, the causes of universes, worlds, and all living beings. By knowing those laws and acting in harmony with them, one can originate a new creation within oneself: the birth of the superhuman, a feat described by Jesus as being "born again." In this book Samael Aun Weor explores this theme by reflecting on the mysteries of Egyptian writings, Tibetan Buddhism, Kabbalah and the Tree of Life, and the Stanzas of Dzyan, an ancient scripture first made public by H.P. Blavatsky in The Secret Doctrine. He also relates his personal experiences of meditation, vividly demonstrating that genuine spiritual development is a conscious experience. From all of this you will learn the exact science to achieve not only the Second Birth (the creation of the soul), but also liberation from suffering by eliminating its cause: our psychological defects.

"...there are degrees and degrees in everything, and different levels of being. Above us is a superior level of being, and below us an inferior level of being. We can pass into a superior level only by eliminating a certain quantity of undesirable psychic aggregates (defects), which we carry within our interior. Obviously, only in this way is it possible to reach the highest level of being in order to transform ourselves into superhumans." —Samael Aun Weor

Harness Nature's Highest Energy for Health, Happiness, and Spiritual Elevation

A Book by M

"This work is a record of instruction received during different states of Yoga practice; that sealed book opened by the aspiring student during his development into his own inner states of being. We have been permitted to reveal this in order that others, by similar practice, may develop and unfold their inner powers; for the body is a storehouse of past, present and—strange though it seems—future records." —M

This precious book stands next to Blavatsky’s The Secret Doctrine (1888) as one of the most important spiritual books of recent centuries.

First published in 1931, at a time when charlatans and fortune-seekers were rapidly expanding their efforts to mislead humanity through mischievous spiritual teachings, this mysterious book by an “anonymous” author opened the doors for sincere seekers to real spirituality. He explains how proper management of our psychological and physical energies brings us into harmony with the divine. His message is at once scientific and mystical, intuitive and concrete, and completely in harmony with the scriptures of every religion. Although the author “M” could not state explicitly what was destined to be fully revealed beginning in 1950 by Samael Aun Weor, when illuminated by the light of the ancient Gnostic teachings, the wisdom of this book can truly be understood and valued. It provides a deep yet easy to understand explanation of how our bodies and minds relate to nature and to the superior levels of existence, and what we must do if we long to escape the suffering in our lives.

This book is great for readers of all levels: inviting to the beginner, clarifying for the reader familiar with the teachings, and deeply insightful for the experienced aspirant.

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

Sacred words and phrases are utilized in every religion and mystical tradition. The word mantra literally means “mind protection,” which indicates their main purpose: spiritual defense.

Here you will learn how to protect yourself from black magic, negative forces, witches, sorcerers, and more. Includes techniques for awakening consciousness in the internal worlds, prayers for spiritual defense and healing, and how to recognize and protect against the influences of black magicians.

Meditation and Liberation from Suffering

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

The beginning of suffering is symbolized in the Bible by the story of Adam and Eve, who represent all the men and women of ancient times, and who lived in “Eden,” a Hebrew word that literally means “bliss, ecstasy.”

Tempted by the “serpent,” they ate the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, and were cast out of Eden. The serpent was also cursed and fell into disgrace, thus forming the “tail of Satan,” a symbol of degeneration, and the opposite of that famous healing serpent of Moses, also called “kundalini.” Since that time, humanity has been suffering in the wilderness, longing to find a way back to the happiness we once knew.

The path to return to Eden requires that we correct the original mistake and its consequences, all of which reside within us. Since “Eden” represents a state of consciousness, we need a radical shift in how we use consciousness from moment to moment, and to convert the subconsciousness into consciousness, a work accomplished only by mastering the ancient science of meditation, which is explained in this book.

By restoring our inner purity, we return to the primordial state of spiritual and psychological beauty that is our natural birthright, which is accompanied by serenity, joyfulness, and perception of the divine. Adam and Eve walked and talked with divine beings; we can too, if we conquer the fallen serpent with us, and return to our original state of purity.

Experience Nature’s Healing Power with the Ancient Medical Wisdom of the Great Masters

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

In ancient times, only the wisest were trusted with medical knowledge, for it bears power over life and death. The remedies and methods of those seers may have been abandoned by modern civilization, but they have been preserved, and retain their power.

Throughout all of our most sacred traditions, it is known that Nature is the source for all genuine medicine. The teachings of Hippocrates, Paracelsus, Galen, Tibetan tantras, and others all agree that a properly prepared individual can use Nature to cure any illness.

Samael Aun Weor lived in close contact with the mysterious natives of the Sierra Nevada of South America, who have been in self-imposed isolation from the rest of the world for hundreds of years. The priests and doctors of that region taught him and his wife Litelantes their system of training and many of their healing methods, revealed here to the public for the first time. Perhaps most astonishing is that the philosophy and spiritual concepts are fundamentally the same as the ancient knowledge of the Greeks, Tibetans, Hindus, and others.

This collection of hundreds of techniques and practices will guide you to awaken consciousness, perform healing for yourself and others, and return to the core medical knowledge of the ages.

“Do not undervalue these remedies because of the modest way in which they are presented or because of their simplicity. The author has tested in various cases all of the formulae and works of practical magic contained in this book.

“Remember that this is not a game for children, but a work for mature individuals. I, Samael Aun Weor, give testimony of my work.”

Thousands of years ago, the angel מטטרון (Metatron) gave to Moses (an Egyptian priest) the Tarot and the Hebrew letters, a precious set of knowledge containing the keys to liberation from suffering.

"...Metatron, the Prince of the Presence, said to Moses: "Receive the [22] letters [of Tarot and Kabbalah]..." - The Third Book of Enoch

"Metatron is the chief and highest among the angels." - Zohar

"Metatron was the prophet Enoch, about whom the Bible speaks. Enoch left us the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Enoch left us the Tarot in which is contained all of the divine wisdom." - Samael Aun Weor

Unfortunately, some cunning people stole and modified a portion of the protected teachings, and over the centuries that stolen knowledge passed through Egypt, Arabia, and finally into Europe, eventually becoming what we popularly refer to as the Tarot. Over the centuries, it degenerated. It was re-arranged, misinterpreted, misused... Being so far removed from their source, very few contemporary Tarot decks accurately reflect the teachings of Metatron. During the twentieth century, Samael Aun Weor wrote volumes of books correcting the Tarot and showing how it is a form of Kabbalah. For decades, millions of readers have awaited an authoritative Tarot deck based Kabbalah, Hebrew, and the knowledge Samael Aun Weor provided. This is it.

“The universe was made with the laws of numbers, measurements, and weight. Mathematics forms the universe, and the numbers become living entities.” — Samael Aun Weor, Tarot and Kabbalah

“The Eternal Tarot” is a 78 card Tarot deck and book set that restores the Tarot to its original structure and importance as an integral part of meditation and Kabbalah.

“An imprisoned person with no other book than the Tarot, if he knew how to use it, could in a few years acquire universal knowledge, and would be able to speak on all subjects with unequaled learning and inexhaustible eloquence.” — Eliphas Levi

The Tarot represents the fundamental laws of nature, thus the Tarot can be used to understand anything: science, religion, nature... but the most important use is to understand ourselves.

Anyone can use the Tarot to understand the forces at work in their lives, and get guidance regarding what they must do.

"...every erudite occultist, all esotericists, must always call on the "standard of measures," the Tarot, if they do not want to fall into the absurd." - Samael Aun Weor, The Mystery of the Golden Flower

Learn Gnosis: Knowledge from Experience of the Facts

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

"The fundamental education is the science of the consciousness; it is the science that allows us to discover our relationship with human beings, nature, and all things." —Samael Aun Weor

The Greek word gnosis (γνώσις) means “knowledge.” The higher meaning of gnosis is knowledge of facts acquired from personal experience. Gnosis is genuine knowledge of the truth. To understand truth, one must experience it. The greatest human beings in every field - philosophy, science, art, and religion - did not imitate, memorize, or remain limited by popular ideas; instead, they sought gnosis: to know the facts for themselves, and in finding the facts they changed the world for the better. Unfortunately, such people are rare.

The problems afflicting individuals and society today have a simple root cause: we have not yet learned how to think. Instead, people today are taught to memorize and imitate. Schools, teachers, and parents today emphasize what we should think, rather than teaching how to think, question, and analyze, so we can recognize the facts, deal with them intelligently, and experience the truth for ourselves. 

"What is the value of studying law and becoming lawyers if we perpetuate fights? What is the value of accumulating much knowledge within our mind if we continue to be confused? What is the value of technical and industrial skills if we use them for the destruction of our fellowmen? It is worthless to receive instruction, to attend classes, to study, if in the process of our daily living we are miserably destroying one another. Indeed, the true objective of a fundamental education must be to create true men and women, who—because of their psychological integration—are cognizant and intelligent." - Samael Aun Weor

When our consciousness is liberated from the conditioning and restrictions imposed upon it by imitation, bad habits, defects, vices, and mistaken beliefs, then we can see and experience the truth for ourselves. In this way, we no longer need to believe anything or follow anyone, but are free to express our fundamental nature and realize our full potential.

This book guides us towards that experience, that gnosis. We need the union of superior logic and tremendous love: heart and mind balanced by conscious awareness of facts. This psychological equilibrium empowers us to alter the painful conditions of life, for ourselves and for humanity. Therefore, we need a gnostic education: an education based on personal experience of the truth.

Paranormal Events Explained

Astral Projection, Other Dimensions, Strange Creatures, Superior Beings, Karma, Ghosts, Death and Reincarnation, UFOs, Witches, and Much More

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

In this simple and lively book, Samael Aun Weor describes his experiences of a wide variety of metaphysical and paranormal phenomena. In a question and answer format, he responds to the inquiries of people who have experienced events they cannot explain, like strange visitors, out of body experiences, and more. Discarding the usual pseudo-spiritual beliefs and illogical theories, Samael Aun Weor answers with lived experiences that anyone can scientifically verify for themselves. He introduces the reader to Gnosis, the practical science of awakening the consciousness, by means of which any person can experience the realities that exist beyond the physical senses.

Just as anyone can acquire practical knowledge of gravity or other physical phenomena, anyone can acquire knowledge of the physics of other dimensions. The only difference is that while physical phenomena are measured with physical senses, the paraphysical phenomena — that which occurs beyond the range of physical senses — require corresponding senses capable of perceiving them. Those senses are latent in every person; one simply needs to know how to activate them. By awakening consciousness, we acquire the means to have our own Gnosis: the experience of what is real and true. Then, one does not need to believe or disbelieve: one knows, because one has experienced the truth.

The Secret History of Humanity

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

For centuries, humanity has been caught between science (evolutionism) and religion (creationism) fighting about our origin and purpose. Even though both sides have some truths, both are crippled by blind faith in theories, beliefs, and speculations that are short on facts, and abundant in contradictions and shortcomings.

What if the truth about life — its origin, purpose, and future — could be found through the union of science and religion? What if, rather than relying on fanatics who only repeat what they have been told, one could learn to perceive and experience the truth for oneself? This is the essential point of view of Gnosis: knowledge from conscious experience. By awakening consciousness (which is “religion”) to perceive reality as it is (which is “science”), one can begin to see that our history is far more incredible than modern science or religion suspect.

Based on this practical foundation, Gnostic Anthropology explains the evolution of humanity as symbolized in the ancient teachings. Rather than being the descendants of apes or of two divinely created people (and the incest of their children), we are the outcome of a very long and slow spiral cycle — evolution and devolution — whose pattern includes the rise and fall of civilizations faintly remembered in myths and scriptures, such as the stories of the universal flood, Atlantis, Lemuria, Hyperborea, Thule, etc. Just as a child resembles its parents but also is changed, humanity also resembles its parents, but with changes. In the birth and development of a single human being, we can find all the clues of our ancient origins. All we need to know is how to look in order to see the truth for ourselves.

“Modern science insists upon the doctrine of evolution; so do human reason and the “Secret Doctrine,” and the idea is corroborated by the ancient legends and myths, and even by the Bible itself when it is read between the lines. We see a flower slowly developing from a bud, and the bud from its seed. But whence the latter, with all its predetermined programme of physical transformation, and its invisible, therefore spiritual forces which gradually develop its form, colour, and odour? The word evolution speaks for itself. The germ of the present human race must have preexisted in the parent of this race, as the seed, in which lies hidden the flower of next summer, was developed in the capsule of its parent flower...” — H.P Blavatsky, “Isis Unveiled,” Vol. I., p. 153

The Secret Teachings of Jesus as Recorded by His Disciples

The most important work of Christian wisdom ever written: The Gnostic Bible, The Pistis Sophia.

"It came to pass, when Jesus had risen from the dead, that he passed eleven years discoursing with his disciples, and instructing them..." —The Pistis Sophia

The Apostles wrote down what Jesus taught them during those eleven years, resulting in "The Pistis Sophia," the most important Gnostic scripture. Includes an extensive commentary by Samael Aun Weor. "The Pistis Sophia" is a sophisticated and deeply mystical teaching given by Jesus about the suffering of Sophia as she attempts to ascend to the highest spiritual truth. This scripture is remarkable for its profound mysticism, its clear rebuke of unethical behavior, and its perspective on the spiritual role of women. Having read this text, it becomes very clear why the established religious powers attempted to obliterate the Gnostics, but failed. Study of this teaching also inspires a re-evaluation of how the Christian Gospels have been interpreted for centuries.

About this scripture, the commentary author Samael Aun Weor said, "The Hebrew Bible clearly connotes the Word of the Eternal One. However, we, the Gnostics, also have our very special Bible. I want to emphatically declare that this is The Pistis Sophia, whose original is in Coptic. It was found underground in Egypt, the land of the Pharaohs. The Pistis Sophia contains all the words of the adorable Savior of the world. It was written by the Apostles. Thus, all the Esoteric-Christic instructions that Jesus Christ gave to his disciples on the Mount of the Olives and other holy places is written within this book. This book had been conserved in secret for many centuries. In this book, the Adorable One left an extraordinary, formidable body of doctrine."

The Pistis Sophia Unveiled is a message for all humankind, in every corner of the world.

The Only Remedy for Suffering

Liberate Yourself Through Awareness, Meditation, and the Power of Divinity

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

Our world is breaking under the strain of so many problems: addiction, war, pollution, starvation, crime, social unrest, inequality, and widepsread despair... Our personal lives are also getting worse: every day there are new restrictions, complications, unexpected problems, and greater instability. Genuine happiness always seems to elude us, and we do not see why. We need real change, radical change, and that can only happen if we see the facts clearly.

“When one discovers the real cause of so much misery and bitterness, it becomes obvious that something can be done...” —Samael Aun Weor

Everyone wants a better world, a better life, and lasting happiness, yet few know how to actually transcend suffering. Theories and beliefs are widespread, but the experience of reality is all that counts.

To truly stop suffering, we need to become very aware of:

• The actual cause of our pain and problems
• How cause and effect (karma) create our life and our society
• The many minds we have within, and how to manage them
• What consciousness is and how to use it for radical change
• How to acquire information through meditation
• The divine power called Kundalini or Pentecost that can cleanse the mind of faults and darkness
• Christ, also called Vishnu, Avalokitesvara, etc., the divine light that can lead us out of suffering

 Change does not come from belief or theories. Real change comes from self-knowledge.

“Unquestionably, light and consciousness are two aspects of the same thing. Where there is light, there is consciousness... Only through psychological self-observation do we allow light to penetrate within our own darkness.” —Samael Aun Weor

Society is the outcome of the individual. By changing ourselves within, we change the world around us. This is the genuine foundation of every great spiritual tradition in the world. By truly becoming better people, the world becomes a better place.

Secret Knowledge in Dante's Inferno

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

The three main religions in the West—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—share a common belief of a region called “hell,” where it is said that the souls of the dead suffer eternal punishment. Yet, few who follow those religions realize that their beliefs are very similar to those of the Greeks, Romans, Chinese, Hindus, Buddhists, etc., who also describe hells, devils, and punishment for sinners, and each also indicate how to avoid falling into hell. The similarities among religions are more than mere coincidence, since all emerged from the same root. 

Dante symbolized all of this in his Divine Comedy. Countless readers have been inspired by his beautiful, epic poem, and generations of scholars have attempted to unveil its mysteries, but failed for one simple reason: they were not initiated into the secret knowledge that Dante knew but could not reveal. The Divine Comedy comes from an esoteric tradition that studied the root of all religions. Only initiates of that tradition can interpret it. Now, in Hell, the Devil, and Karma, Samael Aun Weor has unveiled what Dante could not: the living reality behind the symbols.

The Divine Comedy begins with the Inferno because it is of most immediate importance for us. The hell realms have reality and purpose, which is to clean souls of defects and the consequences of mistaken actions. If you want to avoid those realms, you simply have to eliminate your psychological defects yourself, which is the true purpose of meditation and spiritual development. To explain all of this, Samael Aun Weor describes his own personal experiences investigating those realms (yes: he consciously and safely experienced them, and we can, too). Most importantly, he provides the practical, scientific tools we need in order to change the trajectory of our life: by awakening our consciousness, and eliminating the inner defects that cause suffering and bind us to hell.

Practical Spiritual Techniques That Use Nature's Power to Help Humanity

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

• Meditation, Mind, and Becoming a Buddha
• The Kundalini of the Mental Body
• Plants That Alleviate Suffering

All of the great prophets and avatars performed great feats in their effort to assist humanity. This book is a practical guide to follow in their footsteps.

All those who aspire to incarnate the Christ (also known as Avalokitesvara, Vishnu, Quetzalcoatl, etc.) must first know how to work consciously with the forces of nature. Samael Aun Weor provides detailed information about the elementals of nature, the awakening of the Kundalini of the Mental Body, the relationship between sex and the mind, the importance of meditation, and the development and perfection of clairvoyance. Although Igneous Rose was written as a companion volume to the famous Esoteric Medicine and Practical Magic, this volume stands alone in the depth of its mysticism and the urgent call to action it sounds.

“If you want to progress in Nirvana, then you must sacrifice yourself for humanity. My sibling, you must become a bodhisattva of compassion.”

"We teach our disciples about great Nature’s royal art in our book entitled Igneous Rose. Igneous Rose is a book written for all those who are aspiring to enter onto the Devic path. In the book Igneous Rose, we deeply study the evolution of the elementals of the blessed Goddess Mother of the world. In Igneous Rose we meticulously study the elemental magic of a thousand plants. Therefore, all of those disciples who aspire to enter onto the Devic path must study in depth our book entitled Igneous Rose. We study in depth the elemental life of the earth, air, water and fire in our book Igneous Rose. Seven paths of Cosmic Evolution exist and Igneous Rose is the special book for all those who aspire to the Devic path." —Samael Aun Weor, Esoteric Medicine and Practical Magic

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

“Only a mind that is at peace can solve problems.”

The Greek word gnosis implies a type of knowledge that comes from experience. To understand it, one must experience it. Real spirituality and religion begin with experience of the truth, and the method to acquire that experience is primarily practical. However, to experience the reality that is beyond the physical senses, our psychological condition is key: if our mind is disturbed, chaotic, contradictory, then it will remain an obstacle and source of suffering. Introduction to Gnosis provides a straight-forward, practical way to stabilize your mind and your life, to prepare you for the journey to real self-knowledge. Only when the mind is at peace and serene do we have the opportunity to deeply understand anything.

“Even if one is the most sinful of all sinners, one shall yet cross over the ocean of sin by the raft of self-knowledge alone. As the blazing fire reduces wood to ashes; similarly, the fire of self-knowledge reduces all bonds of karma to ashes...” —Bhagavad-gita 4:36-37

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

The Kabbalah of the Mayan Mysteries is the result of a trip Samael Aun Weor made to the famous Mayan ruins at Copán, Honduras. In this book, he explains the kabbalistic principles of the Mayan mysteries as recorded in their mysterious stelas and sculptures.

"There was an avatar in Honduras who taught and formed a group of solar humans and disciples, who left their books in stone for this humanity. These sculptures are so valuable that there will never be others like them; who will be capable of chiseling them? Each stela is a book in stone that speaks for itself about the grandiosity of the universe. Each monument existed previous to the era of Jesus of Nazareth. These stelas are very ancient; they come from the Bronze Age. Their origin is Mayan-Atlantean." - Samael Aun Weor

This book was written for students who already have a good foundation in the study of Kabbalah. To get the most out of this book, it is recommended that you first study his books Tarot and Kabbalah and Alchemy & Kabbalah.

Destiny and the Divine Power of Love

A Book by Nikias Annas

"Inside of us is something eternal, that never dies, and is the very root of our existence. It is a state of joyfulness and love, bright with contentment and deep, inner satisfaction. Unfortunately, we do not know how to experience this part of ourselves, because we have become so deeply fascinated with our desires and fears. Yet through training, we can abandon the illusions that cause us to suffer, and instead get to know the source of true happiness and fulfillment." —Nikias Annas

Although the word "karma” is Sanskrit and is associated with Eastern religions, it simply refers to the law of cause and effect. Karma is not blind destiny or divine judgment, but is the principle the describes the natural reverberation that emerges from every action, whether that action is physical, emotion, mental, or spiritual.

Suffering and pain are not punishment from a tyrant God, nor are they "normal” or mere "coincidence.” When we truly understand the law of action and consequence, we can see that our lives are a result of our own moment to moment ignorance of the effects of our actions. We create our own suffering, therefore, we can create our own happiness instead, if we know how. No matter what religion or background we come from, through conscious action from moment to moment, we can originate a new set of causes, which in turn will generate a new set of results. This is how we can revolutionize our life. The power to change is in our hands.

"I have heard and realized that bondage and salvation are both within yourself." —Acarangasutra 5.36

• Gives practical methods to change our lives today

About the Author

Nikias Annas, whose Greek name means "victory to divine compassion," studied all major religions before discovering the Gnostic tradition of Samael Aun Weor, which radically transformed his life and gave him the keys to experiencing the reality of those religions for himself. This book is his way of showing his gratitude.

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

Although the term Kundalini is associated with Indian mysticism, tantra, and yoga, the word refers to a living element in nature and is symbolized in all religions. In Judaism and Kabbalah, it is called Shekinah. In Christianity, it is the fire of the Pentecost that illuminated the apostles. In Buddhism it is known by many names, such as Candali.

For thousands of years, many have wondered at the tales of that mysterious force and the spiritual powers it gives, yet the method to awaken it has been hidden, misunderstood, or sometimes, intentionally sabotaged. Some say it is dangerous, or can be awakened accidentally, but the Kundalini is not a blind or mechanical force. It is the Divine Mother Herself, the power or energy of divinity in motion. She cannot be tricked, fooled, or accidentally awakened. The Kundalini can only be developed through purity and love. Divine power must be earned.

Now, like a refreshing spring breeze, Samael Aun Weor blows the obscurations and mistaken ideas away and reveals the sacred mysteries of our most ancient and holy science. With a firm foundation in scripture and practical knowledge, the method to awaken and develop the root energy of life is made clear and accessible to all. It is no longer necessary to theorize or debate: through the practice of the techniques in this book, one can know.

"You will find terrific secrets within this book, secrets that never in the history of life were published." - Samael Aun Weor

Editor's Notes

As a response to Kundalini Yoga by his friend Swami Sivananda (1887–1963), Samael Aun Weor published Mysteries of the Fire in 1955. It was his fourteenth book in five years, and continued the themes of his most recent writings, notably Treatise of Sexual Alchemy (1954), a highly detailed and challenging book, especially for any reader not already well-versed in alchemical terms and symbolism. Samael Aun Weor did not spoon-feed the reader, or tiptoe into the waters of esotericism; instead, he plunged the reader right into the deepest waters, and kept going... He did the same with Mysteries of the Fire, except one needed to know the Sanskrit terms and structures of Yoga. The first page is packed with Sanskrit words; we can only imagine how the average reader in 1955 would have understood it, as Yoga was only just starting to enter the public eye.

Years ago, we published the first English edition of this book as it had been written, save for the title: in the internet age, we felt that the title Kundalini Yoga would attract more readers than Mysteries of the Fire would. Yet the content was simply too difficult for readers. That first page was really tough.

In his later writings, Samael Aun Weor developed a much more approachable style; he was still equal parts ferocious and insightful, but also personable, accessible, and deeply compassionate. He took more time to explain things to his readers, and guide them on towards deeper subjects. So, we have brought that gentler pace into this edition. We have added a Prologue of a few of his lectures, more than one hundred footnotes, and an extensive glossary. With all of this, you will be better prepared for the journey through The Mysteries of the Fire. In fact, by understanding it better, the journey will be even more powerful than it would have been otherwise.

We wish you Godspeed.

The Sacred Power of Love and Sex

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

Love and sex are the basis of all creation.

Modern science does not see it yet, but love and sex are the creative power at every level of nature. What attracts chemicals together to create new substances? What creates all living things, even worlds and galaxies? Sexual attraction and love.

"Thirsty for love, souls always wander in search of their other half... We always need another being who can fill us, who can supply with complete exactitude that which we lack, not only in the physiological aspect, but also in the psychosomatic and spiritual aspects..." —Samael Aun Weor

Unfortunately, humanity still does not understand how life works. In our current condition, we are trapped in diverse psychological defects: lust, anger, envy, discontentment. These cause us to misunderstand and misuse sex. This is why we suffer.

“The sexual energy can transform any person into an angel or into a beast.” —Samael Aun Weor

The power that can liberate us from suffering is our sexual power. That is why all authentic spiritual traditions require the preservation and transmutation of the creative, sexual power: it is the basis of spiritual development.

When sexual power is harnessed by a couple in love, it can create a new substance called Kundalini, Pentecost, the sacred fire of all religions. This fire radiates spiritual light, and is the divine weapon of the gods, the vajra or thunderbolt that destroys the "devils" within us: our psychological defects, which are the causes of suffering. In meditation, with the consciousness awakened, one can see and understand the causes of suffering, liberating the consciousness from those cages. Then the divine power of Kundalini can destroy them. This is how, step by step, we liberate the light of consciousness from the darkness within us.

This new edition was fully revised, and adds almost one hundred footnotes to explain key terms and concepts. It is also in a larger size making it easier to read. It includes illustrations, glossary, and index.

Experience Your True Nature, Source of Happiness and Spiritual Fulfillment

A Book by M

“The end of all true Yoga is to bring God realization to humanity, which is union of the lower self with the Lord God of Truth within...Nature awaits man’s discovery of his power to reclaim his own lost birthright, the gift of the spirit. This lost birthright, when man seeks union with his Innermost, brings a greatly expanded consciousness to his mind.”

An inspiring and urgent call to action, to awaken our latent powers and restore our rightful place in the cosmos: as an awakened, kind, and responsible human being.

The final book by the mysterious author M (“The Dayspring of Youth”) has even more power and clarity than his previous book. “The Lord God of Truth Within” is bigger, deeper, and broader, illuminating the most important problems of our lives, especially our relationships with nature, God, and each other.

“Man has been slowly exterminating himself through ignorance of the laws of nature. Individually and by slow degrees he is becoming poisoned, because he lacks the knowledge of how to help himself. In this New Age of discovery, he will be taught how by following natural laws he may eliminate from his system those poisons which bring about premature death. He will be taught right living (which is a process of right thinking) and his natural place and position in society, and in time he will insist on having food in which the natural elements are not adulterated.”

And Spiritual Secrets of Virgil’s Aeneid

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

Spiritual development requires enormous amounts of energy, thus those who aspire towards the blossoming of the soul need methods of acquiring and utilizing energy. Hidden in the runes we can find such methods. Then, through The Aeneid, we learn how to use that energy.

The Nordic runes are very ancient letters known to contain great spiritual mysteries, but their true nature has remained untapped by modern seekers of knowledge. Each rune represents a circuit of energy in Nature. By understanding how the runes are present everywhere in Nature, one learns how to utilize them in daily life to empower the awakening of the consciousness. One such method is to use the physical body to emulate a rune in combination with prayer and sacred words. By mirroring the runic circuits of Nature, we become capable of receiving and transforming great amounts of energy.

Yet, energy alone is not enough: one also needs to know what to do with it. For that, Samael Aun Weor unveiled the beautiful symbolism of The Aeneid, one of treasures of classical literature, in which we discover many secrets of the spiritual path. Written by the Roman poet Virgil between 29 and 19 BC, The Aeneid is considered the greatest Latin masterpiece. For more than two thousand years it has remained one of the most studied, memorized, and analyzed writings, yet its true meaning has remained hidden. On the surface, it tells the story of Aeneas and his struggle to establish Rome, yet in truth the story is like all myths: it is an archetypal, symbolic representation of the spiritual path. Like all the great heroes — Odysseus, Herakles, Arjuna, Samson — Aeneas represents the soul who seeks to restore its divine inheritance, and to do so it must overcome the consequences of its former mistaken actions. That is a work of practical action in daily life through which the soul is raised out of suffering. This book is a guide to accomplish it.

The Sacred Sexuality Taught and Lived by Jesus

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

For two thousand years, the teachings of Christianity have changed dramatically, especially regarding its founder and inspiration, Jesus. A master of Kabbalah and Hebrew, Jesus brought the secret teachings out of hiding, and was killed for it. Since then, his true teachings have not been heard by the public, until now.

The story of Adam and Eve written by Moses is the basis of the Western religions. It says that originally, humanity knew divinity face to face, and was pure, innocent, and happy, symbolized by living in Eden, a Hebrew word that literally means “bliss, pleasure.” But Moses says when they ate the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge (Da’ath), humanity lost its place in Eden, and suffering began. Unfortunately, people read this story literally, and do not understand what it represents. Jesus came to explain it, and lead the way back to Eden.

The whole purpose of religion is to guide us back to Eden, happiness. That is what Jesus taught in the streets to suffering humanity, and why his first miracle was at a wedding: we can return to Eden only when man and woman unite to undo the mistake of Adam and Eve. The forbidden fruit is related to sex. To return to We can only return to Eden through the same door we used to leave it: sex. The return to Eden is the “narrow, straight gate,” the way to be “born again.” Any birth, whether of the flesh or the spirit, is sexual; Jesus pointed this out, too.

“Except one be born again, one cannot see the kingdom of God... Except one be born of water and of the Spirit, one cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” —Jesus, John 3: How to Be Born Again

Yet the sexuality of Eden is divine, pure, clean, without the blemish of lust or animal desire. That is what we need to escape suffering: to be pure again.

To explain the process of returning to Eden, Samael Aun Weor illustrates it with the initiations and trials Jesus passed through in Asia and Egypt, including descriptions of his wife, his personal life, and many details never before revealed publicly.

Sacred Sexuality and Liberation from Suffering

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

Discover how your greatest creative power is also your greatest spiritual power.

“All of us possess some electrical and magnetic forces within, and, just like a magnet, we exert a force of attraction and repulsion... Between lovers that magnetic force is particularly powerful and its action has a far-reaching effect.” —Samael Aun Weor

In the heart of every religion there are teachings about intimate human relationships, a sacred knowledge about the transformative power of sex, which states that true spiritual mastery is a result of conquering base desires and transforming them into conscious virtues. Harnessing and transforming the most powerful forces within places us on a revolutionary path to spiritual awakening. That is why Krishna, the Christ of Hinduism, said, “I am sex not contrary to dharma.” This is why Jesus explained the need to be born again. Every birth is a result of sex. Spiritual birth is no exception, and is accomplished not by common, everyday sex, but through a divine, pure form of sexuality. This type of sexuality is hidden in all religions and mythologies, and was first revealed in the writings of Samael Aun Weor.

Filled with lively, entertaining stories, The Mystery of the Golden Flower explains the practical methods of sexual transmutation, and how preserved sexual energy can become Kundalini, the fire of Pentecost, the power to destroy the psychological afflictions that bind us to suffering. This is the ancient science hidden in Hindu and Buddhist Tantra, Chinese and Western Alchemy, Taoism, and many other traditions. For instance, sacred sexuality was hidden in the Chinese Taoist book called “The Secret of the Golden Flower,” made famous by Carl Jung, in which the “secret” was not revealed. Here, in The Mystery of the Golden Flower, it is.

The Global Crisis and the Sexual Solution

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

Even though we believe we are an advanced civilization, the problems that afflict us are undeniable and seem to be getting worse by the day: proliferation of nuclear weapons, deforestation, unceasing wars, political instability, economic hardship, pollution, social injustice, climate change, terrorism, etc. In spite of humanity's love for the theory of evolution and the cherished belief that we are evolving towards perfection, the facts prove otherwise: everywhere we look, modern society displays clear signs of devolution: widespread and systemic degeneration, decay, and decline towards destruction. Jesus, the founder of Christianity, said:

"...wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction [the “second death”], and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life [the “second birth”], and few there be that find it." —Matthew 7:13-14

In The Narrow Way, Samael Aun Weor reveals the secret teachings of Jesus that few have known: the “way to life” is within the marvelous “human machine,” our physical body. By harnessing the power of the sexual glands, we can revolt against the current towards destruction. This revolution cannot be done through belief but through action, through a method known since antiquity but kept secret until now: sexual transmutation, also called alchemy or tantra. The “way to life” is always sexual, whether creating physical life or spiritual life. That is why throughout the ancient scriptures there are clues towards the preservation of the sexual energy, the “living waters,” and why the elite of every religion preserved their sexual energy: they knew how to harness it for purposes higher than mere lust.

The sexual energy is a tremendous power — it creates life! When harnessed and made pure — a process called “white tantra” — it creates life in the superior levels of nature so that one is “born again.” The “second birth” is the result of creating the solar bodies (Astral Body, Mental Body, Causal Body), which Jesus called "the wedding garment." With the solar bodies, one is awakened in the superior dimensions of nature.

The Narrow Way exposes the ancient secret path hidden in all religions, and the source of power that gave birth to the most remarkable souls in history, those radiant men and women of terrific compassion and intelligence who embodied the best of what it is to be human. The power to become like them is within you, too. It is up to you to use it, to enter the narrow way to life...

The Meaning of Richard Wagner’s Masterpiece

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

"When religion becomes artificial, art has a duty to rescue it. Art can show that the symbols which religions would have us believe literally true are actually figurative. Art can idealize those symbols, and so reveal the profound truths they contain." —Richard Wagner

Parsifal, the epic, final opera by Richard Wagner, stunned audiences and set the stage for the decline of modern civilization. For more than one hundred years, Parsifal has been one of the most controversial dramatic works in the world, not only moving the world's top composers and writers to tears and inspiring generations of creative geniuses, but it was also admired by Adolf Hitler.

Wagner's retelling of the myth of the Holy Grail and the knights who protect it showed the secret path to liberation from suffering, but no one understood it. Wagner himself never explained Parsifal, and in his wake thousands of writers, critics, and artists have attempted to penetrate its mysteries yet have failed, since they were not initiated into the secret tradition it came from. Finally, in this book by Samael Aun Weor, the meaning of Parsifal is fully revealed, and the genius and spiritual accomplishments of Richard Wagner are made radiantly clear.

"The year 1914 will always be a memorable date among the remarkable dates of this humanity, because of the explosion of the First World War and the simultaneous debut of Parsifal in all the civilized world." —Samael Aun Weor

Features:

• A complete exposure of the spiritual archetypes hidden in Parsifal, with examples from other religions and mythologies

• Detailed instructions for sexual transmutation, including postures and mantras

• Includes the complete libretto of Parsifal

Why Sex and Religion Are Inseparable

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

"Love is the highest religion...” - Samael Aun Weor

If you only want one book about real spiritual practice, The Perfect Matrimony has everything you need. Prepare yourself for a spiritual revolution.

In fact, this book is so powerful that because of it, in 1950 the "official" Church had Samael Aun Weor jailed. They accused him of “offending the public and healing the ill.”

The Perfect Matrimony is a complete introduction to the profound and beautiful mystical knowledge from which all the world’s great religions have blossomed. There is a sacred teaching, the source of the secret teachings of Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, Alchemy, Tantra, Kabbalah, and the mysteries of the Mayans, Aztecs, Egyptians, Tibetans, Eleusinians, Essenes, and hundreds more. All of them have a sexual secret. All of them came from the same root knowledge.

The Perfect Matrimony explains how to solve the problem that originated with Adam and Eve: an event clearly rooted in sex. Jesus also taught how to solve this problem (his first miracle was at a wedding, after all), but the church edited his teachings. When Samael Aun Weor publicly revealed the true teachings, the outraged church had him imprisoned in an effort to repress what he revealed.

Everything that lives was created through sex. Just the same, the soul is created through sex, but not the sex of the common person. To create divinity, one must understand divine sexuality, sacred sexuality. Such knowledge has always been preserved in secret, held safely for those who demonstrated their ability to use it properly. Now, for the first time in history, that knowledge has been revealed openly: this book, originally published in 1950, marked its first public appearance.

With the explanations in this book, you will understand not only many seemingly vague and incomprehensible scriptures, but also how all genuine spiritual practices work. After reading this book, religion and sex make sense. Moreover, you will see that religion is not found in organizations, buildings, or books, it is found in the heart that is enflamed with divine love.

Freud (the founder of psychoanalysis) correctly stated that religions have a sexual origin...

The vestals were true priestesses of love. With them, the celibate priests reached adepthood. It is unfortunate that the modern vestals (nuns) do not know the key of Sexual Magic. It is unfortunate that the priests of this day and age have forgotten the secret key of sex. We feel profound pain when we see so many yogis ignoring the supreme key of yoga, which is Sexual Magic, the supreme synthesis of all systems of yoga.

People are filled with horror when they hear about Sexual Magic; however, they are not filled with horror when they give in to all kinds of sexual perversion and carnal passion...

All systems of intimate self-education have Sexual Magic as their ultimate practical synthesis. Every religion, every esoteric cult, has as its synthesis Sexual Magic (the Arcanum A.Z.F.)...

We have written this book with broad clarity; we have unveiled what was veiled. Now, whosoever wants to self-realize in depth can rightly do so. Behold, here is the guide, here is the complete teaching.

Sexual Magic is practiced in esoteric Christianity. Sexual Magic is practiced in Zen Buddhism. Sexual Magic is practiced amongst the initiated Yogis. Sexual Magic is practiced amongst the Mohammedan Sufis. Sexual Magic was practiced in the Initiatic Colleges of Troy, Egypt, Rome, Carthage, Eleusis. Sexual Magic was practiced by the mysterious Maya, Aztec, Inca, Druids, etc. Therefore, Sexual Magic and the Cosmic Christ are the synthesis of all religions, schools, and sects.

The Demon Who Renounced Evil and the Man Who Guided Him

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

“My intentions were in the long run to perform the greatest task in the cosmos, which was to take Beelzebub out of the Black Lodge and transform him into a disciple of the White Lodge.” —Samael Aun Weor

The Revolution of Beelzebub tells the incredible story of Samael Aun Weor and his efforts to convert the demon Beelzebub. Beginning in the ancient past, this incredible journey takes us from the cradle of humanity, Arcadia, the ancient golden age, through the rise and fall of races and civilizations. We learn how the ancient prince Beelzebub was tempted into the path of pleasures and vices, and how he gradually degenerated to eventually become a terrible demon with millions of disciples. Along the way, we see the differences between the white and black paths: their ethics, rituals, magic, initiations, powers, and results, all of which were first revealed to the public in this book.

Then, during World War Two, a time when demonic forces were threatening to overrun the world, one man disrupted their plans by helping one of their greatest leaders to defect: Beelzebub. It was an unprecedented act of love, and an inspiration, for if even a demon from the depths of hell can be saved, there is hope for the rest of us, provided we are willing to do our part.

Our hope for liberation comes in the form of practical steps, the same steps taken by Beelzebub when he left the Black Lodge, which are explained in detail in this book. Through radical internal change, a psychological and spiritual revolution, even a demon can be converted into an angel.

The Meditation Method That Destroys the Causes of Suffering

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

“The daily practice of meditation transforms us radically.” —Samael Aun Weor

The world is in crisis, and everywhere there are wars and rumors of wars, promises and mockeries, bombardments and political parties that fight each other.

It is absurd to suppose that we can depart from this social chaos with all of its fights and miseries, if indeed, individually, we do not resolve ourselves to perform a radical and definitive change.

The legal or illegal changes of governments, the bloody dictatorships, the revolutions of blood and alcohol are all useless. If we truly want an absolutely radical change, then first of all, we need to change ourselves individually.

What we are as individuals is what the world is. Indeed, the world is the individual, because the world is nothing more than the sum of all individuals. The problem of the world is the problem of the individual. Thus, if the individual does not internally change, then the world will never change either, even when many want to change it based on extremist doctrines, bloody revolutions, abominable dictatorships, etc.

If we study our intimate problems in detail, then we have to arrive at the logical conclusion that no leader can resolve these problems for us. What I am is in fact the party, the group, the family, the society, the nation.

The individual is the beginning and the ending of every order of things. Thus, if we want a radical transformation of this bitter and suffering world, then we need each of us to individually transform ourselves in a true and very intimate way...

If we truly want to transform ourselves intimately for the good of the world, then we need to liberate the mind and heart from any type of evilness.

An Ancient Method to Restore and Preserve Your Health and Youth

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

The health and vitality of the physical body is essential for anyone who aspires towards the awakening of the consciousness.

Initiated students of Tantric traditions practice exercises called Yantra Yoga to maintain the peak health and fortitude necessary for serious meditation. In this book, Samael Aun Weor teaches a synthesized and refined sequence of postures combined with prayer and mantras that can restore and preserve our health and youth. By maintaining a strong and youthful body, we can face our challenges with strength and grace, and take full advantage of this precious opportunity for liberation from suffering.

“We, the Gnostics, have precise methods in order to rejuvenate the organism and cure all sicknesses. It is unquestionable that we can learn how to heal ourselves. Each one of us can be converted into our own physician by learning how to heal ourselves without the necessity of “medicine” —lo and behold, the most beloved ideal. It is urgent to preserve the physical body in perfect health for many years so that we can use this precious physical vehicle for the realization of our Inner Self.” —Samael Aun Weor

The Ancient Americans and the Serpent-Dragon of All Religions

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

“Be ye therefore wise as serpents...” —Jesus

A mysterious serpent is found in all religions and mythologies, yet its true meaning was known only to initiates of the secret doctrine...

In the Bible, a serpent tempted Eve, yet a serpent also healed the Israelites. Apollo fought the dreaded Python, while a healing serpent rose upon the rod of Aesculapius. The dual nature of the serpent is obvious, yet few know that the serpent is within us.

In The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, Samael Aun Weor explores the traditions of the Aztecs to demonstrate the universal, dualistic symbol of the serpent, its practical meaning, and its vital role in our lives, whether aiding our spiritual development or tempting us towards degeneration and suffering.

Yet, this is not a book of theories or beliefs, but a manual of practical techniques that you can begin applying today, such as meditation, awakening in the world of dreams, jinn science, sexual transmutation, and much more. By awakening consciousness, you no longer need beliefs or theories, because you will know the truth from your own experience.

“When the igneous serpent of our magical powers ascends along the spinal medullar canal of the human body, it is our Divine Mother Kundalini. When the igneous serpent descends downwardly projected from the coccygeal bone towards the atomic infernos of humans, it is the abominable Kundabuffer organ... the tail of Satan." —Samael Aun Weor

A Spiritual Diary from Prison

Including How to Get Spiritual Strength from Blessed Food and Drink

“This man, in addition to committing the crime of healing the ill, is also the author of a book entitled The Perfect Matrimony, which is an outrage against public morality and the good customs of the citizens.”

So stated the official document demanding the arrest and imprisonment of Samael Aun Weor. So began his diary written from prison, in which he documented his meditations and insights, and the process of spiritual initiation related to his imprisonment. This book is full of details about dream interpretation, meditation, degrees of initiation, the awakening of the sacred fire, and much more. Most significantly, he emphasized the necessity for spiritual aspirants to consume blessed food and drink at home, that sacred meal known in every religion by names like communion, eucharist, kiddush, tsog, prasad, etc. He also provided a complete ritual for families to practice at home around their dinner table, to invoke the help of the supreme savior known as Christ, Avalokitesvara, Quetzalcoatl, etc. Thus, instead of being cowed by the attempts of the dominate religions to suppress him, they served to increase his efforts to help humanity, resulting in this beautiful and deeply mystical book.

“The Holy Eucharist should be practiced in the houses of all our Gnostic brothers and sisters... Thus, each home can become a Gnostic temple, and the head of each family is a priest. No more lodges, no more schools, no more sects, no more infamies, no more exploitation! The temple is within ourselves, and the High Priest is Christ... When a group of people around a table are verifying the Holy Eucharist, the ceremony reverberates in all the seven planes of cosmic consciousness, and opens a channel through the seven worlds through which the sublime energies of the Solar Logos descend: and thus the bread and wine become true accumulators of Christic atoms, which upon reaching our stomach are diffused throughout our organism, Christifying and sublimating it for the initiation.” —Samael Aun Weor

Sex, the Soul, and God in the Garden of Eden

A Book by Aunel va Daath

The Hidden Knowledge of Genesis Revealed

See what the religious authorities have hidden (or forgotten) for centuries.

• Unveils the true foundation of the greatest Western religions
• Restores the practical focus of true spirituality
• Solidly rooted in Kabbalah and the Hebrew letters

Moses, the great patriarch in the heart of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, wrote the first five books of the Bible or Tanakh, perhaps the most influential books in Western history. Yet, because they were written in Hebrew, a highly symbolic and deeply mystical language, few have revealed the true meanings of the stories and events he described. When you know the Hebrew letters and the structures of Kabbalah, the secret teachings of Moses radiate with stark clarity, and echo throughout the entire range of Jewish and Christian scriptures, especially in the Gospels of Jesus.

This book focuses on the second chapter of Genesis (Bereishit), which establishes the foundation of the Jewish and Christian religions. With this knowledge you can understand the true meaning of Adam and Eve, the Garden of Eden, the presence of the serpent, and all of the rest of the teachings that follow these symbols. Yet, this is not merely scholarly theology: by understanding what Moses actually wrote, anyone can see the true basis of human suffering and how to change it.

About the Author

Aunel va Daath is the pen name of a student of Samael Aun Weor, the founder of the worldwide Gnostic movement. Both of their names are Hebrew. Under the guidance of Samael, Aunel has taught Gnosis, the primordial religion that gave birth to all religious forms, in many countries around the world. “The Secret Teachings of Moses” was crafted from his lectures, the outcome of many years of study and meditation on the scriptures of Judaism and Christianity.

The Surprising Connections Between Hormones, Imagination, Clairvoyance, and Crime

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

Each of us was created through sex, and every day we are influenced by sex. Our hormones influence us continually, in our thinking, feeling, and body. Therefore, it is simple logic to recognize that a saint or holy person is a result of a upright, pure sexual life, while a criminal or a liar is the result of a degenerated, impure sexual life. The sexual energy of a saint fills their heart, mind, and body with pure thoughts, pure emotions, and vitalizing energy. The sexual energy of a criminal fills their heart, mind, and body with degenerated thoughts, emotions, and energy. Therefore, if we want a better life, we simply need to learn how to use our sexual energy in a better way. We can do so by understanding the connections between three sciences: sexology, endocrinology, and criminology.

Sexology studies love, the most powerful force in human life. It inspires our greatest acts, sustains us in difficult times, gives us hope, inspiration, and purpose. But more than that, love is the power that turns the common person into a superhuman. The sexual energy — which fuels the love of a couple and creates children — is also the wellspring of the love expressed by the greatest human beings, such as Jesus, Buddha, Joan of Arc, etc. While it is well known that serious spiritual seekers preserve their sexual energy for spiritual purposes, science has largely ignored why. The preservation of the sexual energy (called chastity, tantra, alchemy, karezza, coitus interruptus) supercharges the endocrine system and the brain. On the other hand, the worst human beings are always sexual degenerates whose bodies and minds are decayed.

Endocrinology studies the active agent of sex: our endocrine system, the incredible power of hormones. The hormones not only push us towards sexual activity, they also power the pineal and pituitary glands, which facilitate our ability to imagine, to “see” with our “mind’s eye.” The hormones influence the brain and the heart: when a person is in love, the hormones inspire that love, and raise the quality of life to the highest, while also filling the mind with beautiful visions of the beloved. When a person is afflicted by lust, the hormones saturate the brain and heart with lustful desire and degenerated, selfish fantasies.

For the suprasexual, the hormones are the vitalizing influence that regenerates the brain and heart, and empowers visions, clairvoyance, conscious dreams, and spiritual powers. For the infrasexual, the hormones — being corrupted by desire, lust, anger, and pride — cloud the mind, degenerate the emotions into selfishness, and hypnotize the consciousness with paranoia, hallucinations, obsessions, fantasies of wealth and power, motivating the person towards crime, violence, rape, etc. This is criminology: the science that examines how desire, expressed through mental images, is the basis of crime.

If we want to guide our life towards higher level, or if we want to help those who suffer — such as criminals, the mentally ill, the paranoids, or the depressed — then we need to understand how to use the sexual energy in a restorative and regenerating way.

The Awakening of Consciousness and the Laws of Nature

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

"The seven tones of the great scale, with the wonderful rhythms of the fire, resound in the entire universe." —Samael Aun Weor

Wherever there is motion, there is sound. At every level of the universe, creation is movement, sound, a vibration of energy. That is why all the ancient scriptures exclaim that creation begins with a sound, symbolized by the Word of God that says, "Let there be Light." Spiritual light—insight, understanding, and personal experience of the Divine—is also created by means of sound, by the motion of energy within us. Spiritual elevation depends upon laws of nature that humanity ignores. Learn how the forces of creation flow in all of nature, especially within us. By conscious use of the energy that pulses within us, we can open our spiritual eyes and ears to the creative power of sound. This leads us to personal experience of the truth: genuine spiritual experience.

• Explains the practical steps towards acquiring personal experience of the truth
• Rooted in ancient scriptures and long-protected knowledge
• Useful for students of any religion or mysticism

The Path of Initiation in the Sacred Arcana

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

Clarify Your Spiritual Life

Whatever words we use to describe God or the ultimate reality, that reality is the same. Similarly, all religions and mythologies are just different ways of representing how energy and matter function throughout all the dimensions of the universe. Tarot and Kabbalah are precise tools that help us understand that reality.

Kabbalah is a Hebrew word that refers to the study of the laws of nature, especially those that concern the soul. Although Kabbalah is commonly believed to be exclusively Jewish, study reveals that every religion in the world teaches Kabbalah, each in its own way. Kabbalah is the science of numbers, and reveals the structures of everything that exists. By learning Kabbalah, one also learns the way out of suffering.

The Tarot is an ancient, sacred method of acquiring information for spiritual insight. Thousands of years ago, the angel Metatron gave Moses the Hebrew letters and the Tarot, which were preserved among the highest secrets of the mystical traditions, and were completely unknown to the public. Over the centuries, the Tarot degenerated. It was re-arranged, misinterpreted, misused, eventually becoming what we popularly refer to as the Tarot: a deck of cards marked by seemingly obscure images and symbols. Yet, in spite of our troubled history, the real Tarot continues to exist, and has never changed, since the real Tarot was not made by humanity, but has always existed in the superior worlds. Now, in this book, you can learn about the eternal Tarot.

Together, Tarot and Kabbalah empower, energize, and clarify your spiritual life. Instead of wandering in guesses, beliefs, and assumptions, or depending on a religious elite, one can know for oneself, with certainty. This is what divinity wants: for each person to become self-reliant, self-developed, independent, and awakened.

• Packed with practical exercises, including meditation, astral projection, numerology, and divination
• Includes detailed explanations of all 78 Tarot cards and how they relate to Kabbalah
• Unveils the real meanings of the world’s great religions

“In these studies of Kabbalah, we need to be practical; there are authors who write marvels, but when one looks at them, one realizes that they have not lived what they have written; they did not experience it in themselves, and that is why they are mistaken. I understand that one must write what one has directly experienced by oneself. For my part, I have proceeded in this way.” —Samael Aun Weor

The Autobiography of One of the World’s Most Prolific Spiritual Authors

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

The Secret Path to Liberation Revealed in the Labors of Hercules and Kabbalah

In merely twenty-six years, Samael Aun Weor wrote sixty books, gave thousands of lectures, and formed the international Gnostic movement, inspiring millions of people to enter the path that leads one out of suffering. In The Three Mountains, he tells his life story, while revealing the previously secret practical knowledge of the true spiritual path walked by all the greatest human beings — Jesus, Buddha, Moses, Krishna, Jeanne d’Arc, and others. This is the path of the Bodhisattva: a secret path entered by very few, and the only way to the highest potentials of the human being.

• Reveals the secret method to create the soul that was hinted at by Jesus in the Gospels
• Explains how the labors of Heracles represent the spiritual initiations the soul can achieve
• Teaches Kabbalah and Alchemy, which are the two trees of Genesis by Moses

“In all the books of ancient times, the secret path is cited. This path is quoted and mentioned in many verses; yet people do not know it. Beloved reader, to unveil, to show and to teach the esoteric path that leads to the final liberation is certainly the purpose of this book that you have in your hands. Certainly, what we deliver in this new book are transcendental, lived experiences. It is what we have verified, what we have directly experienced.” —Samael Aun Weor

The Practical Spirituality That Awakens Consciousness

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

“Even if one is the most sinful of all sinners, one shall yet cross over the ocean of sin by the raft of self-knowledge alone. As the blazing fire reduces wood to ashes, similarly the fire of self-knowledge reduces all bonds of karma to ashes...” —Krishna, Bhagavad-gita 4:36-37

This book begins by asking the questions, “Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going? What are we living for? Why are we living?” The answers to these questions can be discovered if one knows where and how to look.

No matter who we are, we feel fulfillment, happiness, and purpose inside of ourselves. These qualities are not felt outside of ourselves, and cannot be found in external things or circumstances. Similarly, knowledge of ourselves and our purpose cannot be found in external things, but are found inside. By knowing what is in our hearts and minds, by seeing what we usually ignore, we learn not only what we are capable of, but also what prevents us from developing our full potential. That knowledge shows us the way to genuine change.

“All things, all circumstances that occur outside ourselves on the stage of this world, are exclusively the reflection of what we carry within. With good reason then, we can solemnly declare that the ‘exterior is the reflection of the interior.’ When someone changes internally—and if that change is radical—then circumstances, life, and the external also change.” —Samael Aun Weor

Alchemy was once the most respected science, venerated and practiced by pharoahs, kings and queens, priests and priestesses. Alchemy is the key of eternal life, and the way to liberate ourselves from suffering. To protect it, that knowledge was always hidden from the public.

"The Medieval alchemists hid the Great Arcanum among innumerable symbols and esoteric allegories. This was in order to save it from profanity, and in order for them to avoid being burned alive in the blazes of the Inquisition." —Samael Aun Weor

The symbolism of alchemy is rooted in the myths of the Greeks and Egyptians. Moses, an Egyptian priest, taught alchemy in his writings: Adam and Eve are the basic symbol of alchemy. Even Jesus taught alchemy: his “living waters” and “the stone the builders rejected” are the alchemist’s Mercury, whose development creates the famous philosopher’s stone.

Now, in these moments of intense suffering, the time has arrived for all of humanity to know the truth about alchemy. Here, Samael Aun Weor reveals that what was hidden by Hermes, Paracelsus, Basil Valentine, Roger Bacon, Villanova, Raymond Lully, Nicolas and Perenelle Flamel, are also hidden in the Egyptian Book of the Dead and the Judeo-Christian Torah and Bible. All are based on the same knowledge: humanity left Eden (“bliss”) because of sex, and can only return to Eden through sex. Alchemy is the method.

Most importantly, this book guides you to practice alchemy yourself. Those who are tired of suffering can experience liberation from day to day: by eliminating defects, liberating virtues, and devoting themselves to becoming pure expressions of the highest spiritual value of all: love.

"There is a secret in love. It appears to have been well described by Freud as “sublimation” of the creative energy, treating sex with profound respect. Obviously, man and woman are, we may say, like two parts of the same being. Man left Eden (Hebrew "bliss") accompanied by his spouse, and must return to Eden with the same spouse. In other words, we say: Man left Eden through the door of sex, and only through this door can he return into Eden. Eden is sex itself... We simply state that the sublimation or transmutation of the creative energy releases a radical, psychological, physiological, and biological transformation. The superhuman of Nietzsche can arrive through the transmutation of the sexual libido. Nevertheless, the first thing is to know how to love. Without love, it is not possible to obtain all of these prodigies. Have you observed that grand men always appear next to grand women? Next to Buddha Gautama Shakyamuni is Yashodhara, his beautiful wife disciple. Next to the divine Rabbi of Galilee is Mary Magdalene. Obviously, it would not have been possible for these grand men to have performed their grand labors, which changed the course of history, if they were not accompanied by their grand women. Man and woman are, indeed, truly, two aspects of one being; this is clear. Love in itself emerges from within the unknowable parts of our Being. I want to emphatically state that within our very selves, there, within our most intimate depths, we have our Being, who is invested with transcendental characteristics of eternity. The Being is the divine within us. Love is a force that emanates precisely from this divine prototype who exists within the depth of our consciousness. Love is a type of energy capable of performing truly marvelous prodigies."

The Divine Mother, Kundalini, and Spiritual Powers

A Book by Samael Aun Weor

“Peace is possible only by controlling the mind. Purity of thought guides the yogi towards perfection.”

Learn the practical science to work directly with the root energy of all existence.

Experience for oneself the reality of the ancient and mysterious Divine Mother Kundalini, spoken of in all the world’s great religions as Isis, Mary, Maya, Cybele, Ima, Hera, Shakti, Durga, Athena, and countless more.

Her most sacred science is protected in the secret heart of every religion: the upright use of sexual energy, harnessed with love and ethical purity. When followed with precision, sexual yoga awakens her divine intelligence in us, called Kundalini in Asia, and in the West, the fire of the Holy Spirit, the fire of Pentecost, resulting in the emergence of real spiritual powers.

Includes many practices of meditation, transmutation, astral projection, pranayama, and the long-hidden jinn science.

“We must search for the Divine Mother within our heart temple. The cross of initiation is received within the temple of the heart. She, the adorable lady of love, is the only one who has the power of awakening her children within the womb of the profound universal spirit of life.” —Samael Aun Weor

Secrets of Spiritual Transformation

Alchemy is one of the oldest sciences in human history, but access to its true purpose was given only to those who were deemed worthy to receive it. Now, in these critical moments, the doors to the heart of Alchemy have been opened.

This free online course is not an introduction to the history or theories of Alchemy, but is rather a exposure of the actual techniques and methodologies of the genuine science that creates the Philosophical Stone, the universal medicine, the fountain of youth, and all the powers of the Alchemist.

“By the omnipotent God, and on the salvation of my soul, I here declare to you earnest seekers, in pity to your earnest searching, the whole Philosophical Work, which is only taken from one subject and perfected in one thing. For we take this copper, and destroy its crude and gross body; we draw out its pure spirit, and after we have purified the earthy parts, we join them together, thus making a Medicine of a Poison.” - The Stone of the Philosophers

“...whosoever hath this medicine, he hath an incomparable medicine above all treasures of the world. Praise God.” - The Bosom Book of Sir George Ripley

The Secret Meanings of the Hebrew Letters in the Bible

The basis of all Judeo-Christian scriptures is the Hebrew letters. Without an in depth knowledge of the Hebrew letters, the original language of the scriptures, one cannot understand the Western religions or the secrets hidden within them. Like Sanskrit, Chinese, Tibetan, Greek and other ancient languages, the Hebrew letters constitute a primary expression of the language and mathematics of spirituality. In scriptures, dreams, and awakened experiences, the symbolism of Kabbalah is delivered through the Hebrew letters. This is the language of the internal worlds. Learn to speak the language of the internal worlds, Kabbalah, by first learning the letters of the language.

"The objective of studying the Kabbalah is to be skilled for work in the Internal Worlds... In Kabbalah we have to constantly look at the Hebrew letters." - Samael Aun Weor, Tarot and Kabbalah (1978)

Related books: Alchemy and Kabbalah in the Tarot, The Secret Teachings of Moses, Tarot and Kabbalah 

Get Started: Basics About Hebrew

There are twenty-two primary Hebrew letters, although several have an additional form when the letter is used at the end of a word.

Hebrew is written from right to left. Keep that in mind when you see Hebrew words: the first letter will be the furthest to the right (the opposite of English). These are the primary forms of the twenty-two letters:

א ב ג ד ה ו ז ח ט י כ ל מ נ ס ע פ צ ק ר ש ת

Every Hebrew letter carries unique meanings, symbols, and importance. When combined into words, those symbols and meanings are combined, resulting in a very rich and deep significance. Thereore, names and words written in scriptures have meanings that are very deep, and known only to those who know the Hebrew letters. By knowing the letters, one can know the real meaning of scriptural lessons and allegories.

Every Hebrew letter is also a number. Thus, every Hebrew word has a numerical significance. This is why Kabbalah is a science of numbers.

The first step in obtaining the numerical value of a word is to resolve it back into its original tongue. Only words of Greek or Hebrew derivation can be successfully analyzed by this method, and all words must be spelled in their most ancient and complete forms. Old Testament words and names, therefore, must be translated back into the early Hebrew characters and New Testament words into the Greek. Two examples will help to clarify this principle.

The Demiurgus of the Jews is called in English Jehovah, but when seeking the numerical value of the name Jehovah it is necessary to resolve the name into its Hebrew letters. It becomes יהוה, and is read from right to left. The Hebrew letters are: ה, He; ו, Vau; ה, He; י, Yod; and when reversed into the English order from left to right read: Yod-He-Vau-He. By consulting the foregoing table of letter values, it is found that the four characters of this sacred name have the following numerical significance: Yod equals 10. He equals 5, Vau equals 6, and the second He equals 5. Therefore, 10+5+6+5=26, a synonym of Jehovah. If the English letters were used, the answer obviously would not be correct. - Manly P. Hall, The Secret Teachings of All Ages

The study of the Hebrew letters is a long and profound journey. The letters encode the entire root knowledge of creation and the power of God. Be patient and dilgent to acquire it.

Bezaleel [the architect of the Tabernacle in the desert] knew how to join together the letters, by means of which the heavens and earth were created. - T.B. Berachoth, 55a

Do you long to know for yourself what the world of dreams is? You can know, and you do not have to pay anyone for the knowledge, or belong to a group, or swear fealty to a guru. You only have to make the effort to awaken your consciousness. You can belong to any religion or none; you can work anonymously or socially; you can be from anywhere and be anyone, and you can learn how to experience that which exists beyond the physical senses.

Here we offer to you the teachings, scriptures, and techniques of the ancient science that awakens the consciousness and illuminates the understanding. What you will learn here is thousands of years old, was proven to work by all of those who carried the tradition in the past, and is being experienced daily by instructors and students today.

"Do you want to know something from the beyond? Do you want to chat with divine beings face to face? It is indispensable to enter into the region of the dead at will, to visit the celestial regions, to know other worlds of the infinite space. Outside of the physical body, one can give to himself the luxury of invoking beloved relatives who already passed through the doors of death. They will concur to our call, then we can personally chat with them... When out of the physical body, we can acquire complete knowledge about the mysteries of death and life. Out of the physical body, we can invoke the angels in order to talk personally with them face to face." - Gazing at the Mystery (1972) by Samael Aun Weor

There is a precise methodology to arrive at the conscious transformation of dreams, and the awakening of the consciousness in the internal worlds, also called lucid dreaming or astral projection. That methodology is called Dream Yoga: the science of harnessing the power of the dream state. Through dreams we can receive guidance, insight, and solve problems - but first we must become aware that we are dreaming. Everyone has the capacity to awaken their consciousness and experience the realities that exist beyond the physical world. Here we will study the basic factors required to have this experience.

This course is a collection of transcriptions from audio lectures and writings from various teachers.

The Real Message of Buddhism

Popularly called "the Wheel of Samsara," the Bhavachakra is one of the most important symbols in Buddhism, being an illustration of everything that exists and how existence functions. While the superficial, public-level meanings are fairly well-known (such as the three poisons, the twelve nidanas, the six realms), few know that the actual purpose of the symbol is very deep, revealing the inner workings of our mind, and thereby illustrates the source of suffering (samsara) or liberation from suffering (nirvana).

This free online course reveals how you can discover the true meaning of the Revelation or Apoclaypse of St. John, which is a crytic and mystical scripture at the very end of the Christian Bible.

Over the centuries, hundreds of books have been written in an effort to explain the elusive symbolism of this mysterious text, but none have succeeded. As a document written by initiates of the secret doctrine and for initiates of the secret doctrine, Revelation is an esoteric treatise of Kabbalah and Alchemy, and can only be understood in light of those ancient sciences and in combination with meditation. Now the doors have been opened so that humanity can see for themselves what is hidden in this beautiful scripture.

"Much has been said and written about the Apocalypse (The Revelation of St. John). However, only intellectual speculations have been made and the words of various authorities have been repeated. The present work is the result of tremendous esoteric investigations that were patiently performed by us in the Superior Worlds." - Samael Aun Weor, The Aquarian Message

This course studies the most critical question of our lives: "Why do we suffer?" This also prompts the question, "Can suffering be overcome?"

There are answers to these questions, and you can discover them through your own experience. By consciously studying the facts of your own life, you can arrive to genuine wisdom: insight into the cause and cure for suffering.

Evolution is a law of nature that applies to the development of the soul (consciousness), but not in the way most people realize. Furthermore, the Bible explains the previous races and ages (Atlantena, Lemurian, and more), and about fallen angels and the existence of demons, but one has to know Hebrew and Kabbalah to understand.

This course reveals the essential clues to understand how we got to where we are now. Learn about the reality of the development of the soul as it is hidden in the Kabbalah, the Bible, the Hebrew letters, and the Zohar.

This free online course of audio lectures and transcriptions explains the meaning of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil [עץ הדעת טוב ורע] depicted in the book of Genesis / Bereshit. Da'ath דעת [Hebrew: knowledge; Greek: Gnosis] is the central theme of the story of Adam and Eve and the expulsion from Eden. In traditional Judaism and Kabbalah, the teachings of Da'ath were always restricted, given only to the elite. Now, the secret teachings are available to anyone who wants to return to Eden.

"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge [Daath, Gnosis]: because thou hast [fornicated, thou hast] rejected knowledge [Daath, Gnosis], I will also reject thee, that thou shall be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law [Torah] of thy Goddess [the Schekinah], I will also forget thy children." - Hosea 4: 6

Prayers and Mantras for Protection

Every religion provides methods of spiritual defense for protection against harmful entities and forces. Among all the prayers, there are several that have particular power. These lectures explain them in detail so that you will know very well what you are saying when you use them.

"The black magicians of the Black Lodge struggle to swerve initiates off the path. This is why it is necessary, urgent, that the devotees defend themselves from the attacks of the tenebrous ones. Thus, it is urgent to learn how to do so... We must chant these mantras with all of our soul. We must chant them with profound emotion. This is how we defend ourselves from the tenebrous ones." —Samael Aun Weor

And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”

He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.”  Matthew 13:10-11

“The mysteries of the faith are not to be divulged to all.

It is requisite… to hide in a mystery the wisdom spoken, which the Son of God taught.”  — St. Clement of Alexandria,The Stromata, ch. 12 (circa 200 AD)

Esoteric Christianity represents the unveiled teachings of the mysteries of the Gospel normally concealed to the public.

In our modern era, is now time to clarify all the teachings, and for everyone to receive them!

"These are the mysteries of the Gospels that must be lived here and now, within ourselves. The life, passion, and death of our Lord Jesus Christ is not something that is strictly historic as people believe.   It is something of immediate actuality that each one must perform in his or her laboratory. This is what the crude reality of Christ is. It is not something from the history of the past that occurred two thousand years ago, it is something to be lived here and now." —Samael Aun Weor, The Archeus

This free online course  explains the fundamental laws of nature that allow the creation of all things, from subatomic particles to galaxies, and most importantly, the creation and development of the soul. For throughout nature, at every level, all creation is sexual. That is what Jesus taught in the book of John: how to be born again, not through the common sexual act, but through a higher kind of sex.

Jesus said, “…whosoever drinketh of the [living, sexual] water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.” The woman saith unto him, "Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.” Jesus saith unto her, "Go, call thy husband, and come hither.” —John 4

More than 2,500 years ago, a man decided to find out why there is suffering, and how to overcome it. He succeeded, and became known as "The Buddha," which means, "One who is awake." Since then, there have emerged many variations and interpretations of what he taught, with some believing that his teachings were something he invented or created on his own. Contrary to that belief, he said,

"I have seen an ancient path, an ancient road traversed by the rightly enlightened ones of former times. And what is that ancient path, that ancient road? It is just this noble eight-fold path." - Buddha Shakyamuni, Samyutta Nikaya ii.106

Therefore, his knowledge — what in Greek is called Gnosis — existed before he did, and he only taught what he understood of that ancient knowledge.

This course examines Gnosis through the lens of the Buddhist Dharma.

"We must always seek to be in good health, because a healthy body is good for everything, withstands everything, and responds at all moments so that we can demand from it our material and spiritual work." - Samael Aun Weor, Sacred Rites for Rejuvenation

"You should be very careful with your nutrition." - Samael Aun Weor, Introduction to Gnosis

Types of Spiritual Groups

The word cult comes from Latin cultus, "worship," from past participle of colere, "to cultivate."

This is the first in a series of free online courses designed to give a complete introduction to Kabbalah, the structure of laws that organize all of creation. In the Western traditions, this structure has been symbolized by the Tree of Life. These courses begin with the shadow of the tree, the lowest levels of the dimensions of nature, because this is the level of existence we know and experience on a daily basis. By understanding the world around and within us, we can better understand how to reach the worlds (heavens) above us.

In all religions, the lowest levels of matter are called hell, averno, inferno, avitchi, qliphoth, or other names. In Hebrew, they are called קליפות, which in English can be spelled Qliphoth, kliffoth, klippot, kellipot, Kelipot, Q'lippoth, Qlippoth, etc. This means "the world of the shells." By understanding these levels we can understand the state of our world and our mind today, and thereby the need and method to free ourselves from suffering.

The Bible tells part of the story of Moses receiving the Commandments from God, but not everything is written, since the books of Moses (Moshe) are Kabbalah, which comes from the Hebrew word Kabel, "to receive."

This advanced course is best studied after one has a good foundation in Kabbalah.

Lectures

The book of Genesis (Hebrew: Bereshit) is a book of Kabbalah that hides profound and ancient knowledge. Only those who have been educated in the language of Kabbalah can perceive the meanings hidden in the Hebrew letters and words, and the symbolic stories and events. This course will help you enter into the real meanings of Genesis.

"The book of Genesis is a Gnostic book written by Gnostics; the whole book hides the mystery of Daath, the Hebrew word for knowledge, which in Greek is Gnosis. So, Genesis is 100% Gnostic, whose myths hide a lot of knowledge." - The Tower of Babel Part 1

The entirety of infinite multidimensional space is reducible to the notion that everything is a transformation of energy.

Such eternal exchanges produce and destroy entire planets, solar systems, and galaxies.

Fortunately, these events occur for a definite purpose. It is not a random or meaningless existence as it is often proposed today in our modern world.

Indeed, there is intelligence embedded in everything. Nevertheless, successive series of laws and mechanistic structures are required to provide the proper conditions to allow our true purpose to manifest in the world.

A machine can be defined as an apparatus consisting of interrelated parts with separate functions, used in the performance of some kind of work.

The Being has many parts which must work in harmony to accomplish the great work of self-realization.

Become a Self-reliant Meditator

Follow the practical steps of this course to develop your own experience of the state of meditation. By applying the exercises given in each lecture, any sincere student can become a self-reliant meditator, capable of using meditation as a powerful tool for investigation and analysis.

From the course:

The state of meditation is the natural state of the consciousness, unconditioned, unfiltered, serene, perceiving, and understanding. In the state of meditation, by reflecting on a problem or question, we can find answers, insight, wisdom, guidance. In the state of meditation, we can perceive what is hidden from the physical senses. In the state of meditation, there is no debate, dogma, belief, or theory: there is only the experience of what is real.

Real meditation is:

• a form of perception
• a way of getting information
• a precise science

Since the state of meditation is the natural, normal state of the consciousness, anyone can access it, but first one must know what is preventing it from being our normal state. So, when we study meditation, we should not be trying to “make meditation happen,” but instead be recognizing what is preventing it from happening.

Once the obstacles are removed, meditation happens on its own, immediately, spontaneously, in the same way that air escapes from a punctured ballon, or water escapes an overturned bottle.

The state of meditation is effortless. What takes effort is the work to remove the conditions that prevent meditation from occurring.

Lectures

Access Your True Nature

The key to real meditation is a state of non-exertion, in which the mind returns to its natural state, where happiness, deep wisdom, and intelligent compassion emerge spontaneously. Here, direct knowledge of the truth arrives naturally.

This short course provides a comprehensive investigation into what meditation actually is, especially as taught and explained in authentic scripture, in contrast to the thousands of confusing, contradictory theories and practices being promoted today. This is real meditation that results in powerful transformations and insights into existence.

"Meditation is the esoteric practice of the Gnostics." - Samael Aun Weor

"To experience the Truth is fundamental. It is not by means of exertion that we can experience the Truth. The Truth is not the result; the Truth is not the product of exertion. The Truth comes to us by means of profound comprehension. We need to exert ourselves in order to work in the Great Work and to transmute our creative energies. We need to exert ourselves to live, to struggle and to tread the path of Integral Revolution, but we do not need to exert ourselves in order to comprehend the Truth." - Samael Aun Weor, The Revolution of the Dialectic

Genuine spiritual initiation is not bestowed in the physical world, but in the worlds of the soul, when the soul has earned a new level of Being. The development of the soul is a conscious work, acheived through psychological transformations, and is marked by exact steps that cannot be avoided or skipped.

Telesis [τέλεσις] is a Greek term that means “progress that is intelligently planned and directed.” It means “the attainment of a desired end, by the application of intelligent effort.” This is the work of the soul to become an Initiate, whose goal is to achieve the completion of religion, which comes from the Latin religare, which means to reunite the earthly with the heavenly: to become one with God.

"Initiation is something very intimate to the Soul. The “I” does not receive initiations. Therefore, those who say, “I have so many initiations,” “I have such-and-such degrees,” are liars and fakes, because the “I” does not receive initiations or degrees. There are nine Initiations of Minor Mysteries and five important Initiations of Major Mysteries. The Soul is the one who receives the initiations. This is a very intimate matter; something that one must not go about speaking of, nor something that must be told to anyone. Indeed, all the initiations and degrees that many schools of the physical world confer have no value whatsoever in the superior worlds, because the masters of the White Lodge only recognize the legitimate initiations of the Soul as genuine. These are completely internal." —Samael Aun Weor, The Perfect Matrimony

The Yoga of Awakening

The word practical means "applied, not merely theoretical." Thus, practical spirituality is something experienced and lived.

Learn how to live an essentially practical approach to religion: how to experience what is described in the scriptures, by utilizing the simple and effective approach of Yoga as taught by Krishna in the Bhagavad-gita, and Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras, which applies to any religious or spiritual perspective. They teach:

1. Karma Yoga: the path of work, service, and sacrifice, related to the body
2. Bhakti Yoga: the path of devotion, related to the heart
3. Jnana Yoga: the path of self-analysis and knowledge, related to the intellect
4. Raja Yoga: the path of psychic control, the Fourth Way, related to the consciousness

This is not a course of theory, belief, supposition, guesswork, or fantasy. Instead, you will learn how to work with spiritual facts to expand your perception of reality, and transform your experience of living, by setting aside harmful and useless behaviors, and adopting behaviors that benefit yourself and others. 

“Even if one is the most sinful of all sinners, one shall yet cross over the ocean of sin by the raft of Self-knowledge alone. As the blazing fire reduces wood to ashes; similarly, the fire of Self-knowledge reduces all bonds of karma to ashes...” — Krishna, Bhagavad-gita 4:36-37

Secret Teachings of the Zohar

The Book of Splendor (Sepher ha Zohar) is a mystical book of Kabbalah that hides many secret meanings related to the Bible, including instructions for creating and perfecting the soul, a work accomplished by very few. That work is also known as alchemy, an ancient science that transmutes the entirety of a person into something very different: an angel, a master. 

This course examines the Zohar, the writings of Moses, Hebrew words and letters, and the two trees of the Garden of Eden: the Tree of Knowledge, and the Tree of Life.

Everyone has heard about the Mayan prophecies, the Apocalypse of Revelation, and perhaps about the Purification Day of the Hopi. All religions have prophesies of great changes coming for humanity, but few know what to do about it. Learn about the future of our planet Earth, and how to prepare yourself today.

"And I saw a new οὐρανός [ouranos, heaven] and a new γῆ [gē, earth]: for the πρῶτος οὐρανός [prōtos ouranos, first heaven] and the πρῶτος γῆ [prōtos gē, first earth] were passed away; and there was no more θάλασσα [thalassa, ocean]. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his θεός [theos, God], and he shall be my υἱός [huios, child, son]. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." - Revelation 21

Discover the meaning of the esoteric mysteries and spiritual symbols hidden in The Ring of the Nibelungen, the famous set of operas by Richard Wagner, based on the Nordic mythology.

“It is evident by all means and with complete meridian clarity that Wagner was a great Initiate [of the secret knowledge], an insightful esotericist, an authentic Illuminated One… [...] It seems that he had scrutinized very ancient religious scriptures…” —Samael Aun Weor, Parsifal Unveiled

We strongly recommend that you watch the entire Ring cycle before you study this course, and do your best to see one that is authentic to Wagner’s directions. There are regular performances all around the world, and seeing these operas live is a special experience to have in life. If this is not possible for you, there are numerous recordings available on DVD that you can purchase or rent, or even borrow from a local library.

Dive deep into the primordial structures hidden in all languages and cultures. The Runes are circuits for energy. The Runes are inside every sacred letter, every spiritual motion, and every path to God.

This free online course demonstrates the incredible ubiquity and depth of the Runic letters, with special attention on the Aztec Calendar and many runes that previously have not been explained. Includes instructions for many practical exercises.

"The language of the Protoplasmic Root Race was the Word of Gold, a universal and cosmic language whose combinations of sounds produced cosmic phenomena of all kinds. Those who follow the path of the Perfect Matrimony come to discover that primeval language again within themselves. When the sacred fire reaches the level of the throat, we then begin to speak in the very pure rising of the divine language, which like a river of gold delightfully flows through the dense, sunny jungle. The cosmic laws of Nature were taught to the Gods by their inner Fathers by chanting in this language. The script of the First Root Race was with the Runes. The mallet of Masonry comes from the arrow of the Egyptian God Ra, and this is a Rune. In that epoch, the rituals of the Polar Temple were all runic. The movements of the officials were runic. This is the Divine Script. Let us remember that the Swastika is a Rune. The Hebrew letters are but modifications of runic letters." - Samael Aun Weor, The Perfect Matrimony

Since all spiritual light emerged from the same source, likewise there is a fundamental, universal root for all rituals and stages of study, in all churches, temples, lodges, and mosques. These are the primordial sacraments, "sacred acts," of the Divine.

Every spiritual aspirant must pass through stages of study or initiation in their progress towards the Light. These stages are marked by rituals that symbolize the responsibilities they take on, and the benefits they will receive. This comprehensive course introduces the fundamental importance of the initiations and rituals practiced in all religions. The standard sacraments of Western traditions, such as baptism (mikvah), eucharist (passover), and marriage, can also be found in Buddhism, Hinduism, and more.

This online course of free lectures focuses on teachings and scriptures related to the many beautiful symbols of divinity presented in the ancient traditions of India and Southeast Asia.

"Hinduism is the religion of the Hindus, a name given to the Universal Religion which hailed supreme in India. It is the oldest of all living religions. This is not founded by any prophet. Buddhism, Christianity and Mohammedanism owe their origin to the prophets. Their dates are fixed. But no such date can be fixed for Hinduism. Hinduism is not born of the teachings of particular prophets. It is not based on a set of dogmas preached by a particular set of teachers. It is free from religious fanaticism. Hinduism is also known by the names Sanatana-Dharma and Vaidika-Dharma. Sanatana-Dharma means eternal religion. Hinduism is as old as the world itself. Hinduism is the mother of all religions. Hindu scriptures are the oldest in the world, Sanatana-Dharma is so called, not only because it is eternal, but also because it is protected by God and because it can make us eternal. Vaidika-Dharma means the religion of the Vedas. The Vedas are the foundational scriptures of Hinduism. The ancient Rishis and sages of India have expressed their intuitive spiritual experiences (Aparoksha-Anubhuti) in the Upanishads. These experiences are direct and infallible. Hinduism regards the spiritual experiences of the Rishis of yore as its authority. The priceless truths that have been discovered by the Hindu Rishis and sages through millennia constitute the glory of Hinduism. Therefore, Hinduism is a revealed religion." —Swami Sivananda

More than 2,500 years ago, a man decided to find out why there is suffering, and how to overcome it. He succeeded, and became known as "The Buddha," which means, "One who is awake."

Over the centuries, many details of his life and his teachings have been lost, distorted, or confused. Yet by comparing what remains with the teachings given by other men and women who reached similar development, his full teachings become very evident.

The Buddha—also known as Gautama Shakyamuni—did not intend to start a religion or to gather worshippers: he only wanted to demonstrate to all beings how they themselves must work to escape suffering. This is the essence of Gnosis: authentic knowledge that is acquired by one's own efforts.

“I cannot pull someone from the hell realm and carry them to nirvana. Leaving samsara, attaining nirvana or buddhahood, depends on your own efforts. You cannot rely on anyone - not the guru, or the Buddha and bodhisattvas.” – The 14th Dalai Lama

Many biographers have presented his life story with twelve essential stages. The twelve stages of the life of Buddha have deep symbolic importance that has rarely been revealed. By comparing these twelve stages with the esoteric knowledge of Kabbalah and Tarot, the meanings of the events of the life of Buddha Shakyamuni are made brilliantly clear.

One of the oldest sciences of humanity, Alchemy was known and honored in all ancient cultures because it protected the science of transforming the gross, animal man into a divine being. Yet, as is sadly evident in this day and age, mankind has never respected the divine, and only seeks to indulge in pleasures regardless of the price. Nonetheless, for those who would learn how to apply the mysterious science of Alchemy in their own life, we provide you with the key to unlock the door.

"Join the male to the female in their own proper humidity, because there is no birth without union of male and female." - Hermes

"Purify husband and wife separately, in order that they may unite more intimately; for if you do not purify them, they cannot love each other. By conjunction of the two natures you get a clear and lucid nature, which, when it ascends, becomes bright and serviceable." - Avicenna

"The ferment of the Sun is the sperm of the man, the ferment of the Moon the sperm of the woman. From them we get a chaste union and a true generation." - The Rosary

"Our [Philosophical] Stone must be extracted from the nature of two bodies before it can become a perfect Elixir." - The Mirror

Example Scriptures

The Buddha Shakyamuni gave an enormous number of important teachings to humanity, but sadly - following his own prediction - within five hundred years of his death the tradition had completely degenerated. Fortunately, the written word is not the only reliable transmission of wisdom; in fact, it may be the least reliable. A single letter out of place can change the whole meaning of a document. Yet, the awakened consciousness can extract knowledge and precise information from even the most elusive and intangible subject. This is why the Buddha always emphasized awakening as the prerequisite.

Nonetheless, there are written documents that accurately convey the wisdom of the Buddhas. Here we present a selection of important scriptures from the many traditions of Buddhism, but with a special focus on Tibetan Buddhism, which has long preserved Tantra and the esoteric teachings.

The Christian scriptures contain deep and powerful knowledge that has long been misinterpreted or ignored. To properly understand the teachings of Jesus and the apostles, one first has to understand the tradition they themselves are masters of: Kabbalah and Hebrew.

"Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled; for God will judge the immoral and the adulterous." - Hebrews 13.4

"Be sure of this, that no fornicator or impure man... has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God." - Ephesians 5.5

The tradition of Gnosis has taken on innumerable forms throughout the centuries; one of those forms is popularly assumed to be the totality of Gnosis: a diverse and often conflicting collection of traditions loosely centered around the Mediterranean Sea many centuries ago. Here are some example writings from that time and place, and an illustration of the true nature of the Gnostic teachings, which is far more ancient and wide-spread than humanity realizes, and is very much alive today.

This website has many articles and lectures that explain the most famous and widely known Gnostic scriptures: the books of Moses and the Gospels of Christianity. Kabbalah of Genesis reveals many of the mysteries of the book of Genesis.

Books about Gnostic Scriptures

The most important Gnostic scripture is The Pistis Sophia, about which Samael Aun Weor wrote several hundred pages of commentary.

Some Gnostic Scriptures with Commentaries:

Much of Western culture—and spirituality—is based on Greek and Roman heritage.

"All men are by nature equal, made all of the same earth by one Workman; and however we deceive ourselves, as dear unto God is the poor peasant as the mighty prince." —Plato

Hinduism preserves many of the oldest scriptures on the planet. The Vedas and Upanishads contain the essential mysticism and practical spirituality reflected in every religion around the world, thereby illustrating the common root of all religions. Here we select some key scriptures notable for their universal meaning, ease of study, and relevance to the serious seeker.

"Man and wife, living in mutual lifelong devotion, are at the root of Dharma. Creation springs from them. Don't destroy Dharma for a fleeting comfort at a wayside fire. Remember what the Gods did in the days of old. They had to offer sacred Purusha to make creating possible. Without a sacrificial offering, you cannot create anything. If you want a woman, you have to offer something: a present, a house to live in, lifelong protection. But in that way you will only get a woman, her body, her services. The offering however is like sacrificing ghee or barley or a lamb to obtain a place in heaven. If you want a divinity to inspire you to Dharma and multiply your strength a hundredfold, you must offer something vastly greater. Have not the Gods said, 'By the spirit of sacrifice alone shall sacrifice prosper?'... The hardest way is the best - for it is the way of Tapas [spiritual hardships], of the strength which comes of purifying the body and the mind. If Tapas does not purify passion [lust], women themselves will think it an amusing game to become wayside fires; roaring like Rudras, they will sweep Dharma away. Then the unity of man and wife will be dissolved; the family bond will be snapped; the ways of our Fathers will be forgotten and the bonds which keep the worlds together will break. Men and women, lusting and irresponsible, incapable of Tapas, will forswear Rita, to which even the Gods conform. In the end, Dharma will die and men and women will be worse than beasts..." - Krishna, from the Krishnavatara

“The sun god follows the first illuminated and enlightened goddess Usha (dawn) in the same manner as men emulate and follow women.” - Athravaveda Samhita, Part 2, Kanda 27, sukta 107, sloka 5705.

Just as in every world tradition, there is a heart teaching or esoteric aspect of Islam. The most widely known is the Sufi tradition, and the brilliant mystical poet Rumi.

Let the body needs dwindle and the souls decisions increase.
Diminish what you give your physical self.
Your spiritual eye will open.

[...]

Listen to the prophets, not to some adolescent boy.
The foundation and the walls of the spiritual life
are made of self-denials and disciplines.
-Rumi, Muhammed and the Huge Eater

Moses and the other prophets gave their most important knowledge hidden in the symbolism and structures of Kabbalah and Hebrew, including many instructions regarding sexuality.

I am the man who has girded his loins and will not pause til his oath is fulfilled. - Rabbi Solomon ibn Gabirol (11th century)

Rabbi Simeon sat and wept, and he said, woe if I reveal these secrets, and woe if I do not reveal them. The Companions who were there remained silent until Rabbi Abba stood and said to him, "If our master wishes to reveal these matters, is it not written "The secret of the Lord belongs to those who fear Him..." - The Zohar (presumed 13th century)

The strength of the body, the light of the eyes, and the entire life of the man is slowly being lost by too much loss of the vital fluid. - Jewish Code of Laws, Sec. Orach Chaim. Ch. 240; Parag. 14

...whoever mingles any admixture into his drop of semen by forbidden intercourse or by thinking of someone else, as if he is false to the king's seal, which is Yesod. For they are interdependent: the deed below causes damage above. - The Zohar

Scriptures

Although books like the Tao Te Ching are widely known and respected, few realize that they are manuals of sexual transmutation.

The root purpose of Chinese Alchemy or Nei Dan is to attain immortality by preseving and elevating the basis of life: the sexual power.

"Follow one's desire, bring a birth.
Reverse one's desire, become an immortal."

The techniques of sexual alchemy have been known and secretly practiced in China and nearby countries for ages, under the guise of an uncountable number of schools, teachers, and traditions. Equally diverse have been the interpretations and divergences from the original root knowledge, thus students of modern Taoism or Chinese Alchemy are hard-pressed to discover what is pure and what is degenerated. However, by comparison with other root texts on this website, especially those from India and Tibet, such students can easily determine what Chinese texts are reliable and those that are not. Here we present some examples of importance.

The sacred knowledge concerning the true nature of the Divine—especially in regard to sexuality—was carried secretly throughout the Western world over the last few hundred years, held securely in a variety of orders, groups, and institutions.

"The Mysteries were organized for the purpose of assisting the struggling human creature to reawaken the spiritual powers which, surrounded by the flaming ring of lust and degeneracy, lay asleep within his soul. In other words, man was offered a way by which he could regain his lost estate." - Manly P. Hall, Secret Teachings of All Ages (1928)

"Sensual gratification without a spiritual union is and remains bestial; afterwards, one has no trace of noble feeling, but rather remorse." - Beethoven
