40 is related with the Hebrew letter "Mem," its esoteric significance is explained in the lecture that is linked.
In regards to the relevance of the 3 days Jesus spent in the tomb, Samael Aun Weor wrote this in Tarot and Kabbalah:
In regards to the relevance of the 3 days Jesus spent in the tomb, Samael Aun Weor wrote this in Tarot and Kabbalah:
The subject matter about the Resurrection is something grandiose. Jonah was in the belly of the whale for "Three Days" and Jesus resurrected on the "Third Day." This is symbolic; the great whale of Jonah is the same Earth, our very planetary organism. The three days are symbolic because these are "Three Periods of Esoteric Work" before reaching the Resurrection of the Intimate Christ within ourselves.
First Day: the Second Birth.
Second Day: the killing of the Three Traitors.
Third Day: the Resurrection of the Lord.
Here we find the Three Factors of the Revolution of the Consciousness:
1. To Die.
2. To be Born.
3. To Sacrifice for Humanity.
Only impersonal life and the Being can give us the legitimate happiness of the Great Life free in its motion. -Samael Aun Weor
