Unknown Friends, in the lecture "Cosmic Transmigration of Souls" Samael Aun Weor states that after falling and being forgiven, he continues in his work "With the purpose of getting the Philosophical Stone again in my power, the red carbuncle, the precious gem. In 1978 I will have it in my power, the red carbuncle." In Tibetan Buddhism a wish-fulfilling jewel is often spoken of, perhaps the very same? But how would he know of a precise date--is there a set amount of time required for the internal energies to recover? Wouldn't that vary from person to person and depend on other factors? And if he died in 1977, did he not accomplish his goal? I ask because I have met this Gnostic path later in life than I would have wished, after making many mistakes, and hope enough time remains to heal and learn. Though even just to have heard of this knowledge and the resources on the Glorian website and weave them into my Buddhist practice of many years is already a boon. Thank you.
