Archaeological Secrets of Mexico and Bamiyan
Cempoala
Student: The master Samael will begin the tour explaining about Chicomecoatl and each of the sacred places of this entire archaeological Cempoala site.
Samael Aun Weor: Well, we're going to talk to you even if it's here from the throne of Chicomecoatl (the king of the seven coatls, serpents or reeds) ...
People from these times laugh at all these matters... A king with seven coatls, serpents or reeds seems to them like something funny. However, the seven coatls, serpents or reeds have a deep significance: these represent the seven degrees of the power of the fire.
But who knows the fire? Do you think that modern scientists, who believe they are so wise that they can resurrect the dead, can they create plants and make suns to rise, do they know what the fire is? To them that is an unknown element... However, they would not hesitate in laughing at the seven reed-serpents of the king who once sat here on this throne.
And here I am, daring to rise upon this throne. And this “cuate or coatl” looks even grim underneath there, right?...
Well, let's move on.
Obviously, we are in a very sacred place: the blessed land of the Totonacs! The people who are said to have been the founders of the large Tajín and the small Tajín (pyramidal monument); It is is worth reflecting... that we are in a sacred city, my friends, quite sacred...
Of course, the people who come here from all over, who come from "supercivilized" places, believe that we Mexicans are idolaters. That is why they had no reluctance in building cathedrals atop the blessed temples of our ancestors... But we Mexicans are still alive (thank God), and we have a lot to teach the world; that's right, even if the "supercivilized" from other latitudes don't believe it!...
Unquestionably, there are terrific traditions. There is no doubt that the Totonacs descended from the Olmecs, who were very wise. You know (or maybe you don't) what the Olmec culture was. And as for the Huaxtecs, they were no less wise; The Totonacs resulted from that mixture. I repeat: this is a holy city...
Unfortunately, they also had to put up with some terrible dictatorships. One day, this civilization had to groan under the heel of the mighty Moctezuma. There, from the Valley of Mexico, Moctezuma, victorious, commanded the troops, and the people of this civilization had no other choice, my friends, than to pay tribute to the mighty great lord Moctezuma. That is the harsh reality of the facts...
With the arrival of the Spaniards in these lands—who came to conquer us, and to "civilize" us, when in reality, indeed, they should have come here as disciples, or, at least, as sorcerers' apprentices, instead of those airs of greatness and the desire to "supercivilize" us—these people, this kingdom of the Totonacs would be freed from the tribute that they had to pay to lord Moctezuma.
Well, in this regard, it suited them: that's clear. We know well that the Totonacs had to suffer a great deal to be able to pay tribute to the people of the Valley of Mexico; but, such is history and such are empires. This does not mean that the civilization of the Mexicans, back in the Valley of Mexico, was absurd: no. It was an empire and that's it. If the age of empires is over, that is something else; but it was an empire, so...
Let's continue talking a little bit about Cempoala: it was a pretty clean place. Well, all this still looks clean around here; garbage does not appear here, at least at first glance; everything is neat... And here there were very well organized irrigation systems, wonderful systems. So yes, there was progress here...
I believe that "civilization", properly speaking, is not having cannons to shoot at defenseless crowds. That's not civilization! Civilization, in truth, is the culture of the Being, the achievements of the Being. When science, philosophy, art and mysticism are intelligently combined, civilization arises; that's obvious.
Tajín
We also have to talk a little bit about the Tajín god, which is a real puzzle for everyone. Many will laugh, naturally, at the Tajin god, and say that we Mexicans worshiped idols; they, the wretched have nothing more to say. We could also say the same thing to them... Well, we know well how many statues adorn the temples of the people who came from Europe. But we are not that cruel, we prefer to remain silent, even though they call us "idolaters"; what are we going to do? We already know the world idol means statue, and so...
As for the Tajín god: extraordinary! It is said that he has power over lightning, over the waters, over the winds and as he wanted to kill people with his terrible lightning, well, the people here (the inhabitants of this place, the Totonacs) decided to tie him up. And, they tied him with... with a rainbow... This is merely symbolic, my friends! We know this! But people who interpret everything to the dead letter, laugh at these things... This is why Victor Hugo said:
“To replace inquiry by mockery is convenient, but not very scientific. For our part, we think that the strict duty of science is to test all phenomena. Science is ignorant, and has no right to laugh; a savant who laughs at the possible is very near being an idiot."
Well, this phrase, is a bit lacerating indeed. So, I try not to laugh at what I don't know. I don't know how you will think...
But the harsh reality of the facts is that the god Tajin was tied with a rainbow and detained in the depths of the sea. The legend says that twelve old men are watching him at all hours; and that the day a mysterious maiden appears there, bringing nothing less than the vanilla flower and throwing it into the sea, the Tajin god will resurrect...
Wonderful all that, don't you think? But if we interpret it to the "dead letter", word of honor that we would stay in "fasting", we will not understand; "not even a jot". Obviously, you have to know how to understand it. But the serious thing is that people understand everything to the "dead letter".
The Tajin god, in truth, is nothing other than the same chained Prometheus of the Greeks, our own inner god. Each one carries the Tajin god in there, in the profundity of their little heart; No doubt...
That he shoots lightning bolts against this sad human anthill? Well, yes, so...! He has power over fire, over air, over water and over Earth...
Jinarajadasa, the famous Hindu philosopher, wrote a book entitled “Gods in Chains”; he says that inside each one of us there is a god, and this reminds us of the words of Jeshua ben Pander (Jesus) who said:
“I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law:
“I have said, You are Elohim; and all of you are children of the most High. But as Adam you shall die and fall like one of the princes. Arise, O Elohim, judge the Earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.” – Psalm 82: 6-8
If he called them gods (Elohim אלהים), unto whom the word (the logos) of God came (in Tiphereth), and the scripture cannot be broken; Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blaspheme; because I said, I am (Tiphereth) the Son of God?” – John 10: 30-36
So, Jesus reminded us that each one of us carries within, let's say, the Being, and the Being of our Being, which is our god. So, why laugh at the Tajin god, if he is within ourselves?...
And as for the rainbow? We know well that they are the colors of the great work. In order to resurrect the Tajin god, one has to work with the mercury of the wise. Obviously, this means that we have to learn how to transmute the creative energy; people given over to lewdness, adultery, fornication, would not understand this; "not even a jot".
The crude reality of the facts is that in the sexual libido is the key to all powers and the key to all mysteries. If we learn how to transmute the creative energy, how to sublimate it (as Sigmund Freud says in his psychoanalysis), we would resurrect the Tajin god within us, because within us we carry him...
Those boisterous waters of the ocean, where so many pirates succumbed, those waters of the ponto, are within ourselves. They constitute what is called, in occult chemistry: the "ens seminis", within which is the "ens virtutis" of fire...
I am speaking to you in terms that are incomprehensible to the layman. I wish that everyone who is here knew something about Alchemy; but since they don't know, well, they will hardly understand.
I'm going to have to specify and talk to them like newborn babies: tell them that these waters are the ens séminis, the entity of the semen that is in the sexual glands, and that if one learns to sublimate them through music, poetry, dance, verse, etc., they are radically transformed...
It is a way of speaking seriously to them, so that they understand something, since they really cannot understand...
As for the alchemists (the few that there are around here), if anyone understands Alchemy, I don't know, because in reality, indeed, they know that through the transmutation of the sexual libido, that is, through the transmuting science of Yesod-mercury is achieved the rebirth in one of the famous god Tajin.
As for the twelve elders who are said to be taking care of him at all hours, let us remember what the Pistis Sophia (the book that Jesus of Nazareth wrote on the mount of olives) says about it: those twelve elders are the twelve apostles, the twelve powers, the twelve zodiacal powers, twelve fundamental parts of our own Being, within ourselves, here and now.
That these twelve elders are watching over at him? Yes, they are watching over him. But a day will come when the Tajin god will be able to resurrect; when that “fermosa" (Spanish obsolete form of hermosa-beautiful) comes (as don Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra said in his Don Quixote de la Mancha), then there will be extraordinary deeds.
La Fermosa Dulcinea del Toboso
It is precisely with (la fermosa) the woman, by means of love, by means of the transmutation of sexual libido, within music, sculpture, paintings and beauty, that the resurrection of the Tajin god within ourselves is possible.
He will have to rise from within that "sacred ocean" that we carry inside; he will have to spring into existence, wonderful, formidable; when that happens, we will become true superhumans, in the fullest sense of the word...
So the legend of the Tajin god, the wretched one, tied up over there, thrown to the bottom of the sea, is profoundly significant. Few could understand it, although I am trying hard so that you can comprehend it. I don't think you are comprehending me. I think it's staying there in your subconsciousness, like "a rooster’s crows and police whistles at midnight.” But hey, it’s worth something; since I cannot speak to you in that rough, coarse language, to which some people are accustomed.
I am content to tell you what needs to be said: that the Tajin god is not an idol, as the super-civilized people believe, those who come here to "civilize" us; we, the wretched Mexicans.
Indeed, and in actuality, here we have a culture, great enough to give classes to the very professors who come here from Europe. But, they don't understand this, nor do they believe it. They can understand a football game, or a baseball game, or travel in an atomic submarine, or something like that; and in the worst case, drop a neutron bomb on a defenseless city. And of that, yes, they know a lot! But this language of wisdom, this esoteric language that we Mexicans use, they don't understand it, not even with cannon shots.
So, my dear friends, we must reflect a little on the Tajin god: the legend continues, saying that it is a maiden who has to come to throw that flower into the sea... the vanilla flower that is so beautiful!...
Unquestionably, every time it comes to unveiling the mysteries of sex in sacred schools, some flower is used. Let us remember that in the flower are the stamens and pistils, that is, the masculine and feminine organs of nature and the cosmos; and if you want to avoid falling into vulgarity, or result in a harshness that is unbearable, it would be better to teach with a flower, even if it is with the vanilla flower...
The vanilla flower itself represents the solar logos, our Lord Quetzalcoatl; in the European world, the rose signifies the Platonic logos; in the Asian world, the lotus flower over the waters of life represents the same thing as the vanilla flower: the solar logos, the army of the word, the verb of Saint John.
You see how wise the Totonacs were with their Tajin god. But what I am saying right now is only understandable by the Totonacs. Well, it's worthwhile for you to try to talk, out there, with the Totonacs...
Now, we are going to continue touring all of that which is out there... thank you, my friends, thank you very much!
Mictecacihuatl (Coatlicue)
Student: Now we are going to go to the pyramid of the goddess of death, which is the first one on your right. Please to my right... The venerable master Samael, for all our beloved audience that accompanies us in this anthropological dialogue, will give you the explanations regarding this pyramid of the goddess of death. Then we will go to the complex of the house of the eagles, where there are three pyramids; that will be our third tour.
Samael Aun Weor: Well, friends, well, let's talk a little bit about Mictecacihuatl (Coatlicue), the blessed goddess mother death. Certainly, about 18 skulls and few bullet holes were found around here from the arquebuses of the gentlemen who came here to civilize us... It is a little incongruous to find 18 skulls around here, thrown from the so called civilized gentlemen, that frankly we, the Mexicans, do not understand. What kind of civilization were they going to bring us?... They killed our people..., thus, over there, in the museum, are the 18 skulls; if you want to know about this, it would be enough for you to visit the museum...
We have to be a little blunt. Frankly, we have to speak, let's say, with sincerity, with our hearts in hand, although to the supercivilized (who came from the Iberian Peninsula), these subject matters seem too crude.
We have to emphatically say that the blessed mother goddess death has a deep significance. Our president José López Portillo (a great writer, an intellectual man) said and says that fecundation is always followed through time by cessation. And that is true; absolutely true.
People who are afraid of death should also be afraid of birth, since birth and death are two phenomena of the same thing. It is incongruous that we are afraid of death and not afraid of birth.
The mother goddess death with the crown of skulls on her head is of a profound significance. Nonetheless, this profound significance is not understood either.
López Portillo says, and rightly so, that if we comment on a few phrases or words full of profound significance, we will build, naturally, something that the mind will not be able to understand through subjective reasoning, and in that I agree with our citizen president: that's the truth.
Life has great meanings that people do not understand. Death, for example, has a deep meaning. Just because we see the dead body of a loved one inside a coffin, that does not mean that we have understood the phenomenon of death. If one manages to comprehend the phenomenon of death, one discovers the origin of life, because death and life are intimately related. Death and conception meet, they are associated. So, indeed, whoever comprehends the mystery of death, understands the mystery of conception; that's obvious.
The blessed goddess mother death, deep down is nothing but a variant of our own Being, but a derivative. This means that the blessed goddess mother death should not be sought outside of oneself, but within oneself.
Ancient civilizations knew this perfectly; the inhabitants of this sacred city, the Totonacs, never ignored it; The Huaxtecs and the Olmecs did not ignore it either; this is a stunning civilization...
Whoever truly has the courage to self-explore psychologically. will discover within himself, in the different parts of his Being, that which is called "the blessed goddess mother death."
That they rendered worship to the dead? Yes, it's true. And the dead were also worshiped in ancient China, before Mao Tse-tung rose to power. Nevertheless, very secretly, although the Beijing regime does not like it, the dead continue to be worshiped in some latitudes of China.
In ancient times, all civilizations, be it that of Egypt, be it this one, that of the Totonacs, or any other, worshiped death and the dead. "Death is everyone's crown!"...
It is understood that by "death" it is when one leaves the physical body. This body is nothing more than a suit, a temporary garment that must be eliminated, that is perishable and that causes us a lot of pain. We are not the body; the body is but the vehicle of the Being. What interests us is the Being. And “the Being is the Being and the reason for the Being to be, is to be the same Being.” In other words, the Being has to inwardly become, and the reason for the Being to inwardly become, is in order to be our own Being within.
The Being is immortal, it did not have a beginning, it will not have an end. What does it matter if the body is destroyed? Nothing. The Being continues, who could deny that? Perhaps the degenerate people of this century? Because cultured people, individuals who have not degenerated, would never deny these tremendous realities.
So, my dear friends, never fear death. Do not be surprised that ancient populations worshiped death. It is worthwhile for us to "study the mysteries of life and death while the officiant arrives." It is worthwhile for us to know something about death.
Indeed, truthfully, in the instants in which death approaches, we are assisted, we are taken out of the physical body and we penetrate into the superior worlds, in the superior dimensions of nature and the cosmos.
The Nahuas stated that those who were perverse in life, unquestionably entered the Mictlan, that is, entered the infernal worlds under the epidermis of the Earth, yes, if we are perverse, we enter the infradimensions of nature. Yet, those who more or less led a healthy life entered the Tlalocan. However, there are some who neither entered the Mictlán nor entered the Tlalocan, they stayed on the threshold... Understanding this is very important...
It is also true and absolutely true that everything returns, that everything reappears, that everything is reincorporated: the planets return to the starting point after a few years; the atoms also return to the point of original departure. So, we also reappear, we return, we reincorporate for a new existence.
There are people who remember this, there are people who know that they existed in the remote past, who understand it. Most people do not know about these things, and they judgmentally laugh, but remember that Victor Hugo said:
“To replace inquiry by mockery is convenient, but not very scientific. For our part, we think that the strict duty of science is to test all phenomena. Science is ignorant, and has no right to laugh; a savant who laughs at the possible is very near being an idiot."
Well, my friends, let's continue our tour throughout this holy city. As I say, you are invited to join us. So end my words....
Pyramid of the Sun
Student: We see the set of the houses of the eagles and the three pyramids in that direction. As we see in these three main pyramids: the pyramid of water, which you will find on your left side and on my right side. To the left of me and to the right of you is the pyramid dedicated to the tiger and eagle knights. And this, in which Master Samael Aun Weor speaks, is the Great Pyramid or Pyramid of the Sun.
Samael Aun Weor: Well, well, my dear friends, we are going to talk now about this pyramid upon which we find ourselves; we will also talk about the pyramid of water, and we will also talk about the pyramid, the temple of the tiger and eagle knights. I ask all of you present here to pay close attention...
Obviously, the pyramid of the sun is profoundly significant. When one cites the sun, one necessarily has to remember Quetzalcoatl. Quetzalcoatl, really indeed, is the Mexican Christ.
The feathered serpent, before the dawn of the universe, marvelously revolved, writhed in the Omeyocan (the place two), where everything is two in order to be one and know how to be two.
Quetzalcoatl, in himself, the sun and the serpent are one. In the mysteries of Zarathustra, Ahuramazda, the Christ (or Egyptian Osiris), was always associated with the sun. Thus, similarly, the sun, the fire, and the feathered serpent are associated with the king star.
And it is not that our ancestors from Anahuac, or the ancestors of this blessed land, where we are right now, were idolaters when worshiping the sun, it is that they understood that this sun that shines on us is only the symbol of a transcendental spiritual sun.
Do not forget, my friends, that just as there is this physical sun that illuminates us, there is also an austral sun (invisible to the eyes of the flesh, but visible to the intelligence and the heart), which is located in the Pleiades. Why? Because our sun, this one that illuminates us, is one of the seven suns of the Pleiades.
Each one of the seven suns of the Pleiades gives life to a set of planets that revolve around it. All the seven suns of the Pleiades gravitate around Alcyone, a splendid physical sun.
But the austral or astral sun, the solar intelligence, or that set of solar intelligences that live in that sun located in other dimensions of nature and the cosmos, unquestionably has to be found in the Pleiades, because the sun that illuminates us, I repeat, It is one of the seven suns of the Pleiades.
So, really, indeed, we, the inhabitants of the planet Earth, are inhabitants of the Pleiades, we live in a small world that revolves around the last of the suns of the Pleiades.
There is another sun that is also formidable, wonderful, I want to refer to the polar sun. We well know that the Milky Way with all its millions of worlds revolves around the sun Sirius.
Certainly the sun Sirius is a world full of life: it has rich mineral, vegetable, animal and human life.
The entire Milky Way is spiral and rotates, but there is a spiritual guiding intelligence for the Milky Way, and it is the divine polar sun, in which solar geniuses who govern this galaxy dwell.
Now, we must understand that this infinity in which we live, move and have our Being, has a limit, and beyond that limit there is a void, and far beyond that void there is another infinite; and beyond that other infinite there is another void, etc.
There are also infinities in the microcosm (human body), one is the infinite of the thumb and another is the infinite that we carry in some other finger or in the feet; there are many infinites, my dear friends, and that is necessary for you to understand.
Likewise, up there are many infinites and there is a superior intelligence to govern those many infinites. That intelligence is the central spiritual sun. That sun governs the many infinites, I say, the infinite in which we live, move and have our Being. The many infinites exist and each infinite has its central sun.
The physical sun that illuminates us, in truth, is only one of the suns, of the many central suns of the inalterable infinite. This is how the ancient Totonacs understood it, and that is why they raised this pyramid to the sun. They worshiped Quetzalcoatl and the absolute sacred sun! Similarly, all of us must imitate the Totonacs and learn to see behind the figure of this physical sun the spiritual sun...
Pyramid of the Water
Continuing now with the temple of the water, with the pyramid of the water, we will say that the elements of nature were always adored. Water is of a profound significance. When the goddess of water is worshiped, when she is venerated, the Totonacs or the Teotihuacans do not refer to merely physical water; they always understood by “water” what the wise alchemists knew by the name of the mercury of the secret philosophy.
This mercury is nothing more than the metallic soul of the sperm. The learned ignoramuses know nothing about this. Behold, when a man keeps his creative energy, when he does not miserably lose the sacred sperm, when he sublimates it, he transforms it into mercury; and it is precisely with the mercury of the sages with which we can truly accomplish the great work and transform ourselves into gods.
From the simplest point of view, we will say that the mercury of the sages is the creative energy of the third logos, in ourselves and within ourselves, in our sexual glands, here and now.
The Tiger and Eagle Knights
We also have here, on one side, the temple of the tiger and eagle knights; but do not forget that water is transcendental; it is important to remember that the cross is profoundly significant. The vertical Lingam within the formal Cteis make a cross, and when the spilling of the cup of Hermes Trismegistus, the thrice great ibis god of Thoth, is avoided, then those waters of life become creative energy. The cross, the temple of water, is the Egyptian Tau, or the Tau that we still see in some of the temples of Mayab.
To one side, to your right, to our left, is the pyramid of the tiger and eagle knights. The tiger knights were one hundred percent warriors, but they also knew the mysteries of the great work. They knew that we, each one, within ourselves have an animal ego, made up of many parts. They lived at war against themselves, against their own psychological defects. We do not deny that they were also preparing for the great battles in the world of the three known dimensions, but they fought very especially against their own defects, against themselves; they eliminated their psychic aggregates, they were formidable... They knew the Jinn states, they knew how to get inside the fourth vertical to give the physical body the shape of the tiger; This is how they appear in an Anahuac codex, marching to the temple of Chapultepec in seven days; when they arrived at the temple they assumed, again, the human figure. The dim-witted paragons of wisdom, the learned ignoramuses, who feel themselves to be the masters of wisdom, will not believe this; nevertheless, this is how the tiger knights of ancient revolutionary and solar Mexico practiced it. As far as the eagle knights are concerned, they were true eagles of the spirit, profoundly wise, with powers over nature, over fire, air, water and Earth.
Those who came from remote latitudes to conquer Mexico, should have come with humility to civilize themselves, because here we have a powerful civilization...
Friends, I want you to reflect deeply on these words, and to study the gnostic anthropology, of those who drink at the source of archaic knowledge; here they will have real surprises that the materialists, the enemies of the eternal one, would never understand. So end my words; and we will continue our tour...
The Sacred Fire
Student: We will go to the central part of the sacred city, that is, to the hearth of living fire, the place that is with a small wall; it is a place that Master Samael will continue to explain: the fireplace of living fire...
Samael Aun Weor: Well, well, friends, here we are with these explanations, although up there from the sky, the king star is singeing us. But it doesn't matter, as long as we hold on here, we are, well. Unquestionably, there we have the famous fireplace of the new fire...
I believe that you have heard this subject matter about the change of fires every 52 years. It is known that every 52 years the Totonacs also (I say also because other tribes preserved the tradition, such as the Nahuas, the Zapotecs, the Teotihuacans, etc.), changed the fire.
They started the fire every 52 years, they changed the fire; they put out the fire that burned there, in that fireplace, and lit a new fire. It was the change of fires, according to the cycle of 52 years.
I want you to understand that during that time 5 days of sexual abstention were kept. It was necessary to keep sexual abstention for 5 days with the change of fires. The bonfire, the fireplace, is extinguished, and the fire is lit again. This fire burned, I repeat, 52 years.
This repetition of the seven fires is very interesting... Right now we are in the fifth fire and it is said that “the children of the fifth sun would perish by fire and earthquakes.”
In archaic times of our world there were catastrophes: “the sons of the first sun, it is said, who perished swallowed by tigers; the children of the second sun, that is, the Hyperboreans, perished, devastated by strong hurricanes; the children of the third sun, that is, the Lemurians, perished by the sun of rain of fire and great earthquakes; the children of the fourth sun, the Atlanteans, perished swallowed by the waters”; We, the Aryans, are the children of the fifth sun. And the Totonac inhabitants say, “that we will perish by fire and earthquakes.” The children of the sixth sun will be better: where, the resurrection of the gods will occur; and the children of the seventh sun will be very spiritual...
All this is written in the different codices and it is good to comprehend this. However, there are seven minor cycles. We well know that the continents float (this conception belongs to the pangea, which the anthropologists of this time are beginning to understand). The continents float, separate or move away through millions of years, and because of this, there are seven ice ages as well.
So, really indeed, the seven suns are processed in minor cycles according to the geological movement of the Earth's mass. And to symbolize this... ...the new fire was lit. I repeat, we are now in the fifth sun and this is quite interesting...
Student: Master, can I ask you a question?
Samael Aun Weor: Yes, but at the end of the lecture...
Unquestionably, the Nahuas, Zapotecs, Toltecs, Mayans, Totonacs, had a powerful wisdom that resists any geological or anthropological analysis.
So, in truth they were not the "ignorants" that the Spaniards supposed they were, no. In these lands a powerful culture existed and that culture is buried in the subsoil. Here there still exist cultures that have not been unearthed, and that will one day amaze archaeologists and anthropologists all over the world.
Now, the lady who was going to ask me the question, she can ask it with complete freedom.
Student: Master, what is the relationship between those 52 years and the duration of each race.
Samael Aun Weor: Well, I already said that these are significant cycles; that these seven cycles of 52 years are symbolic, because (5+2 = 7) the duration of each race belongs to the seven suns at large. Thus, these seven fires are significant, symbolic, to allegorize or symbolize the seven great races... Up to here my words, thank you, my friends...
The 42 Judges of the Law
Student: The last two explanations by the world president of Gnostic anthropology, Samael Aun Weor, will be that of the gladiator circle, there in that place, and also that of the main temple, which is in front of all of us. And I think that some will be able to perceive the so-called temple of the skulls, where 1460 skulls were found in clay.
Samael Aun Weor: Well, well, friends, please get together. We are going to talk a little about all of these anthropological issues. We already talked about the matters of the new fire, and now we will talk a little about these matters of the circle that you see there.
The circle of gladiators is worth studying indeed. It has 42 battlements or figures in the form of chairs. Look at those 42 chairs, how interesting that is! They are the 42 thrones for the 42 judges of the law, the 42 judges of karma.
We well know that everything in life is processed according to the law of cause and effect; There is no cause without effect and no effect without cause. It is true that there are also the 42 archons of destiny.
In ancient times no one ignored this matter of the 42 judges and there you see the 42 chairs...
In sacred, ancient Egypt, there is also talk of the 42 judges of karma, who work under the direction of Anubis, the great judge of the law. How could the 42 chairs for the lords who govern the laws of cause and effect in our Earth be missing here, in the sacred land of the Totonacs, in the very circle of the gladiators? Impossible! And there they are, before the solemn verdict of the public consciousness!
Whoever pronounces against this thesis is going to have to tear down Egyptology, is going to have to attack Anubis and his 42 judges, in the "book of the dead" of millenarian ancient Egypt; he is going to have to undo, by himself, all the old theogonies of the old times. But the reality is that the 42 chairs are there, and that is profoundly significant.
It has been said unto us that in this place a slave with a stone ring on his ankle fought against two armed warriors without rings; a wretched slave with a stone ring on his ankle, against two very well armed warriors who did not carry that ring, because it seems that the disadvantage was perfectly manifest. But they were one hundred percent symbolic. Here are the three forces: the positive, the negative and the neutral.
The positive, unquestionably, is the masculine force; the negative is the feminine force; the neutral is the one that reconciles them both. So, as a conciliator, that slave had to deal with the positive and negative forces of creation.
Wherever there is a creation there are three forces: positive, negative and neutral.
If those three forces flow in opposite directions there can be no creation; but when they coincide at a given point, a creation is performed.
This issue had to be represented in some way, even if it was through the gladiators, even if it was with the wretched slave, there, serving as a neutral force and with a stone ring on his ankle, fighting against two warriors armed to the teeth. Somehow this had to be represented.
We well know that the neutral force is the reconciling force of opposites. The man who learns to handle the third force dominates the world. Those who work unilaterally, who are loaded only towards the right pan of the scale, or towards the left pan, are victims of circumstances. But whoever places himself, precisely in the center of the scale, dominates the universe.
The three forces had to manifest themselves there, right there in the circle of justice, there and it couldn't be anywhere else, as if to say that everything is processed according to the law, according to the laws of cause and effect.
To the left you have the temple of the chimneys, there priests were placed to observe the sacrifice. We are standing here on the sacrificial stone...
Some horrified Spaniards said that we were around here burning people alive, or killing people by the heap, no! We're not inquisitors or anything of the sort.
Yes, the death penalty existed, unfortunately; but it was only applied to criminals, to murderers, to the wicked ones, and the judges had to contemplate from there, from the temple of the chimneys, those sentenced to death; these, here, on the sacrificial stone were executed with the flint knife. So, my dear friends, we are witnessing something very interesting...
Finally, we are here behind the main temple. All the holy gods were worshiped in that pyramid, in that major temple, where the priests of all the holy gods met sometimes or periodically. But Hernán Cortés broke in here and killed all the priests of the gods.
The conquistador, Hernán Cortés wanted to impose on us “by force” the religion that the Spaniards brought from over there.
If we have our religion here, our cults and our gods, why should they come to bother us? It seems to me that there should be respect for all religions, and that we Mexicans have the right to be respected...
The ancient wisdom is here in the codices, in the pyramids, in the temples...
Hernán Cortés hated the priests who ministered their religion in the name of their gods; but in truth, I have to tell you friends that even the Spaniards themselves continue to adore the gods, because what are the angels, the archangels, the principalities, the powers, the virtues, the thrones, etc., of the Christian religion? They are the same gods of Mexico! So why are we called "idolaters" and "heretics" and I don't know what else?...
Here, from this sacred land, we will continue to worship the gods, whatever the cost might be, even if they describe us as “idolaters”. We are with the wisdom of our ancestors! So end my words about the 42 chairs, my dear friends...
•••
Now, let us talk about the gods Tlaloc, Huehueteotl, Ehecatl and Quetzalcoatl.
Well, here we are all gathered to share delicious moments of wisdom and love...
We have seen on stage, a very precious dance of beautiful children (Mexican compatriots)...
Now, I am going to explain unto you some very important aspects of our Gnostic anthropology: all these ancient dances, as I have already been telling you, contain, in themselves, profound esoteric-Christic messages; all these dances are full of deep meaning; all these harmonies are worth listening to, these exotic dances are worth watching...
Our country, Mexico, is full of deep esoteric traditions. Let us remember the divine beings, who were worshiped in ancient Mexico; let us remember for a moment Tlaloc, the god of the waters...
Tlaloc
“In the paradise of Tlaloc" the traditions state, "absolute happiness reigns”... To many it will seem like something fantastic that in the middle of this century we are speaking about the “paradise of Tlaloc”; It so happens that the "supercivilized" of this time have totally forgotten the elemental wisdom of nature. Tlaloc is certainly a "deva" of the water element, it is a cosmic power of the universe, it has a real existence. Undoubtedly, this class of cosmic deities normally live in the region of natural causes, a region to which the scientists of the atom and molecule do not have access; however, the Anahuac prophets, in a state of ecstasy, could enter such a region and talk face to face with Tlaloc. In the name of the truth, we will say, emphatically, that the paradise of Tlaloc exists!...
We well know that there are four fundamental regions. We would call the first "cellular region"; it is that region of organic life, the three-dimensional region of Euclid.
The second is the "submerged mineral world", which scientists cannot deny because they exist, and the mines and the interior of the Earth prove it (we physically live in the geological crust of the Earth, in the mineral crust). The third region is the "molecular world"; and the fourth, the “electronic world”.
From a cosmic and gnostic point of view we will say that the molecular world is constituted by the astral and mental regions; and as for the solar electronic world, it is formed by the world of natural causes, by the world of universal consciousness and by the region of pure spirit. Thus, there are four regions, and this is necessary to comprehend...
The Tlaloc region is formidable, extraordinary, marvelous; Tlaloc lives in the causal world; when speaking of Tlaloc, we refer to that world of natural causes in which he lives.
Precious traditions recorded in the codices, say that "Tlaloc lives surrounded by a multitude of beautiful children", and that "when lightning strikes, it is because some pitcher or simply a vessel has broken, has shattered"... Of course, this is symbolic, and in no way should we take it literally...
It is also said that "Tlaloc had his wife" (this is a reference to the Valkyrie, this is a reference to the spiritual soul, which is feminine)... I have said in many of my books that the Innermost, that is, our Being, has two souls: one is the spiritual soul, the other is the human soul. The human soul is masculine, the spiritual soul is feminine; this is the set of twins within ourselves, that is the sign of Gemini in our spiritual nature. So, when talking about Tlaloc and his wife, it refers emphatically, in the codices, to the two souls: the male and the female (of Tlaloc)...
It is not Tlaloc's fault that many children and maidens had immolated themselves in his honor; he was always made to implore the rains, but Tlaloc never demanded such holocausts...
One day, I was in a state of Manteia (I mean samadhi, which could be translated in the Western world as "ecstasy"), I had achieved it through the technique of meditation, going through "dharana", which means "concentration”; by the "dhyana", which means "meditation"; In such a state of spiritual rapture I had to find myself, really indeed, face to face, with Tlaloc.
The recrimination I made against him was unfair. "You," I told him, "committed great crimes; you allowed boys, girls, maidens and even old people to be sacrificed to you, and that is criminal..."
Tlaloc seemed, in such moments, an Arab from ancient times. Answered, "I never demanded such sacrifices from humanity, I never demanded that they immolate to me living beings; that was a matter of the inhabitants of the physical world, because I never demand such human sacrifices; however, I will return in the new era of Aquarius..."
Tlaloc said so, and I understood: that great being who now lives in the world of natural causes will reincarnate in the future golden age; in the full splendor of Aquarius, he will take a physical body and will help the sixth root race, during the golden age... Thus, my dear brothers and sisters, it is about a great being that will return to the physical world. Speaking in a purely Christian sense, we would say that it is an angel, and he will return (so he said)...
Through samadhi, in which the ancient priests of the Mayab were experts, such as the prophets of Anahuac, or the Toltec mystics (renowned artists), etc., one can penetrate, through deep prayer and meditation, into that wonderful region where Tlaloc lives. It was also affirmed that "those deceased who died by drowning, could enter the paradise of Tlaloc"... (so it has been said).
In the Eastern world there is also talk of "kingdoms", such as the "long-haired one", or the "dense concentration", or the "Maitreya", etc., they are regions that exist beyond the three-dimensional world of Euclid...
And what shall we say of all those dancers who also knew how to attract the benefits of the rain god? You have already seen these children, you have enjoyed their performance. Those dances, like the ones that these children have represented before you, had the purpose, among other things, of attracting the waters so that they would fertilize the Earth and germinate the seeds of all kinds.
Similar dances were known in other places in America; in Teotihuacán certain cults were celebrated, in the pyramid of the moon, with the purpose of attracting the rains, and they never stopped imploring help from Tlaloc, the beneficent god of the rains...
It is interesting to know that the natives of Teotihuacán gathered in the pyramid of the moon and arranged themselves in the way in which toads and frogs are normally found, and imitated, in a wonderful way, the "croaking" of these creatures; they did this for the purpose of making it rain, and it rained; but they never forgot Tlaloc...
The Mayans also practiced similar rites, and since they arrived not only to Costa Rica and Panama, but also to the Caribbean coast in South America, traditions are still preserved among the Arhuacos of the Sierra Nevada (Colombia), who still practice the rites and manage to attract the rains.
These systems, these methods, are strange for the iron age, for this black age in which we find ourselves. People have already become terribly rude and materialistic, now they make fun of all these wonders of nature and the cosmos...
Children's dances, dances like the ones we have now seen, are no longer seen in public squares; In Turkey, for example, dervishes no longer dance in public squares, not even the use of... ...is allowed; all the beauties of an innocent and pure humanity have been lost; the old pyramids of Egypt have been abandoned, the "supercivilized" of England and France make fun of the ancient monoliths...
At this time, it comes into my memory that phrase that the priest of Sais said to Solon: "Solon, Solon, oh my son: the day will come when men will laugh at our sacred hieroglyphs, and will say that we the ancients worshiped idols.”...
In reality, indeed, with the Kali yuga [black age] innocence was completely lost, and the beauty of the spirit is no longer remembered except the pyramids, which like corpses have remained in the shadowy sands of the desert...
The dances of Eleusis no longer shine; the priestesses of those times have disappeared into the darkness of time, and the sounds of their wonderful flutes do not even reach the profane ears...
The enchantment of the druids has only remained as a figure that slips between the cypresses of time; we no longer see those druidess priestesses, girdled with their laurel wreaths, in old Europe. The dances of the Vikings among the land of the natives of the Scandinavian peninsula have disappeared, and only very distant memories contain the folklore and mystical legend...
And in South America, the flutes of the Inca temples are no longer heard; the “corridors” that connected Peru with Bolivia have been closed; the temples are deserted, the pyramids are covered with plants. The priests of fire (the Incas), those majestic kings, are not seen here or there, they now shine by their absence.
Humanity has forgotten the ancient wisdom. Humanity has forgotten the religion-wisdom of the ancient ages. With great pain, we see ruins and only ruins...
What do the people of this age know about the wisdom of the Lemurians or the Hyperboreans? Science can hardly penetrate some 15,000 years or 20,000 at most, in the world of legends. But what do today's scientists, historians, know about those cyclopean men who built the walls of the ancient cities of the continent Mu? What is known about the cyclops? What is known about the eye of the lacertids? Humanity today has become frighteningly mechanical; and of the continent Mu there remain only the islands of Australia, of Oceania; that old archipelago is just a reminiscence of the continent where the god-men lived...
Friends, it is up to us the Gnostics, who have to fight to get divine wisdom out of the depths of the centuries; It is us, the Gnostics, who have to fight against the darkness of this black age; It is up to us to fight, to restore the innocence lost on the face of the Earth!...
The times have come, we are faced with the dilemma of to be or not to be of philosophy, and although the "learned ignoramuses" laugh at Gnostic anthropology, we will continue our investigations!...
Huehueteotl
And what shall we say about Huehueteotl, the "old god of fire", an "idol" for the "learned ignoramuses," a “guffaw”, a “sarcasm”, an “idolatry”, a “fetish”, and nothing more? But the Gnostics do not think like that; Huehueteotl, is the universal fire that burns in this creation; Let us remember that the "Lamb of God that erases the sins of the world" is fire...
On the cross of the martyr of Calvary, the meaning of Christ is explained. Many immense volumes have been written to explain the Christ, but in truth, with only four letters it is already explained, and those four letters are written on the cross of "Golgotha": INRI (ignis natura renovatur integra, "the fire renews the nature incessantly")...
Christ is the fire that burns in this creation. We must not forget that the Christ is crucified on Earth. The fire of the fire is Christ. We are interested in the flame of the flame, the hidden of the hidden, the astral signature of the igneous element; we are interested in Huehueteotl, the old god of fire, the lamb that erases the sins of the world... so the Cosmic Christ has never been anything other than fire!...
Brothers and sisters, I have invited you to reflection, I have invited you to the esoteric study of these Christic Gnostic and Anthropological splendors...
Fire is life; actually really, we exist by the advent of fire, we cease to exist when fire leaves form...
"Before the false dawn appeared on the Earth, those who survived the hurricane and the storm praised the fire, and to them appeared the heralds of the dawn"...
The lamb with the cross supported by one of its legs invites us to reflect: the cross is a completely lingam-yonic symbol; we well know that the vertical phallus, when introduced into the formal yoni, forms a cross; The cross, then, is the basic element for the development of the sacred fire in the backbone of the Gnostic ascetic...
Wanting to represent fire as a lamb would seem antithetical, incongruous; but it is that the “lamb of God” is the Christ, it is the lamb that is sacrificed for humanity, it is the fire crucified on Earth, the fire that must burn in each one of us by means of the Christic esotericism.
Ehecatl
Friends, when we enter into this superlative analysis of some aspects of Gnostic anthropology, we must not forget the air element either; we should never forget Ehecatl, the "god of the wind", the "god of cosmic movement".
Ehecatl is a great master, an angel; he is the "lord of movement"; obviously, the science of movement is profound, terrific. One can spend years and years studying such a science, and one would never reach a limit; the cosmic movement is full of many mysteries; Ehecatl, the god of the wind, is precisely a specialist in cosmic movement...
Beyond all of this, we find precisely the mother of the world; before her tremble all the elementals of the mineral element, of the Earth element...
Thus, dear brothers and sisters who are listening to me today, in ancient Mexico, the elemental gods of nature and the cosmos were worshiped. And with the sacred dances, with the rites, with prayer, with meditation, the gods of fire, air, water and Earth were invoked.
Quetzalcoatl
But at the bottom of all the mysteries, the hieratic and terrific figure of our Lord Quetzalcoatl never ceased to shine... That Quetzalcoatl is lost in the night of the centuries... Each priest considered himself a Quetzalcoatl, in tulle; but, deep down, what happened was that the priests who christified themselves took the name of Quetzalcoatl, the sun-god; along the path of regeneration we must enter, if we want to become "feathered serpents," like the Lord Quetzalcoatl...
When one disintegrates the ego, when it is reduced to cosmic dust; when one fabricates the superior existential bodies of the Being and converts them into vehicles of pure gold; when one raises the torch of the verb to illuminate the path of others, whatever the cost, unquestionably, one becomes, for this reason, a feathered serpent, a Quetzalcoatl.
It would not be enough to just awaken the sacred fire, it would not be enough to just awaken the kundalini-shakti, to make it rise through the spinal canal to the brain, and pass it from there to the heart; in truth, one will not be able to enjoy the power contained in the chakras (discs or magnetic wheels), if one has not previously been "devoured" by the serpent.
Now we can explain those words of the "Chilam Balam of Chumayel": "it is necessary to be devoured by the serpent, it is urgent to become serpents"...
In the “Popol Vuh”, the case of Wotan is cited; this Wotan was a god of ancient Mexico. This Wotan, also is quoted in Scandinavia, among the Nordics, he said: "I was able to enter through the hole that leads to the interior of the Earth, I was able to penetrate through that path full of snakes, because I am also a snake."...
Everyone who has been "devoured" by the serpent becomes a serpent, and Wotan was "devoured" by the serpent.
The druids, in a state of ecstasy, shouted: “I am a snake!” The Egyptians also cried out raising their arms from the top of their pyramids, looking at the desert: "I am a snake!".
Count San Germán once left a note forgotten on a palace table, saying: "I have been established in Isis for thousands of years"... and the fact is that Count San Germán is a snake.
The wisdom of ancient Mexico is evidently serpentine; In archaic Mexico, the serpent was worshiped. So, dear Gnostic brothers and sisters who are present today, I invite you to awaken the serpent, and even more: I wish that each one of you become a serpent. Much later, in time, the serpent is devoured by the eagle, the logos...
That symbol of our Mexican flag (the eagle swallowing the snake) is profoundly significant: when someone has been devoured by the serpent, he becomes a serpent, but the eagle, the logos, in turn, devours the serpent, and then one becomes the feathered serpent, Quetzalcoatl.
The Aztec Calendar
Today scientists from different nations have dedicated themselves to the study of this monolith that weights about 25 tons and with a diameter of 3.60 meters. It was found in the main square of Mexico City on December 17, 1760, which was sculpted by the Aztecs. Esoterically, this great work represents the zodiac with the complete history of our galaxy. It is a calendar of great precision and that is the reason for the current interest of science in verifying, based on electronic computers, the infallible predictions that are expressed therein.
In the central circle the solar god Tonatiuh is represented with his radiant yellow hair; an obsidian knife emerges from between his lips, which is the representation of the verb. It is surrounded by four symbols that are the four suns or times that humanity has gone through. The first sun, in which they were devoured by tigers, represents the polar race; the second in which they were converted into monkeys, is the Hyperborean epoch; the one of the birds that belongs to Lemuria; and the symbol that is the same as the fourth epoch that is identified with Atlantis or the story of Noah, and the same Tonatiuh is the fifth sun or Aryan epoch that is in agony and whose end is clearly represented by the number 13, in the upper center square.
Two eagle claws support human hearts and a circle of 20 hieroglyphs, which are the days of the month, surround the five suns. The 20 days and the 18 months make a year of 360 days. Then another circle with 52 points that represent the Aztec century and the zodiac is closed with two serpents with flaming feathers.
In the song of the monolith, the heavens are represented with the sign of the planet Venus and the races that will continue: sixth and seventh to conclude with the eighth sun or infinite.
Statues of Bamiyan
Cliffs at Bamiyan, Afghanistan.
The five statues of Bamiyan rediscovered by the famous Chinese traveler, Xuanzang (Hsuan-Tsang), give us an idea of the different eras through which humanity has passed.
The Westernmost and Largest Statue at Bamiyan (before it was destroyed in 2001)
"The largest is made to represent the First Race of mankind, its ethereal body being commemorated in hard, everlasting stone, for the instruction of future generations, as its remembrance would otherwise never have survived the Atlantean Deluge..." -HP Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine
The protoplasmic reproduced in a similar way to cell multiplication. Their body reminds us of the gelatinous form by which they enlarged and shrank at will.
The Easternmost Statue at Bamiyan ca. 1977. It was destroyed in 2001.
"The second -- 120 feet high -- represents the sweat-born..." -HP Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine
...the hyperborean root race, giants that reproduced by spores. From their calves came off the shoots that multiplied the species. It is not strange that in Brazil they call the calves "ventre das phermas".
"...and the third -- measuring 60 feet -- immortalizes the [Lemurian] race that fell..." -HP Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine
...which inhabited the continent Mu, or Lemuria, in the place where the Pacific Ocean is now.
"...the last descendants of which are represented in the statues found on Easter Isle." -HP Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine
Lemurians were sexually male-female, pure androgynous. Even at that time it was not known what it was to make mistakes, there was no evil in people. There was no such thing as yours and mine, there were no borders, no fences that divided the neighbors. Certainly, human beings were kings of nature with all their powers in full manifestation, since they did not know what religions call the seven deadly sins, the pluralized "I", or as the ancient Egyptians said, "the terrible entities of seth .” The Adam Solus of Christian symbology represents those first human races.
The reproductive system of Lemurians, hermaphrodites, was by gemmation. The father-mother ovulated, and as it was constituted in itself the three polarities: masculine, feminine and neutral, the egg had all the characteristics of procreation according to the power of the will of its parent.
The most select of the Lemurian root race constituted the seed for the formation of the Atlantean root race, represented by the fourth statue of Bamiyan mentioned at the beginning of this exposition. It was even smaller than the previous ones, but gigantic compared to our current fifth Aryan root race, which lives on the current continents.
The Atlantean continent extended and oriented towards the south and the highest places towards the north. Its mountains exceeded in size and elevation those that currently exist. Atlantis geographically united America with the old world.
All the religious teaching of primitive America, all the sacred cults of the Incas, Aztecs, Mayans, Egyptians, were the primitive religions of the Atlanteans. The gods and goddesses of the ancient Greeks, Phoenicians, Scandinavians, Hindustani, etc., the gods and goddesses mentioned by Homer in "the Iliad" and "the Odyssey", were heroes, kings and queens of Atlantis.
The famous Dr. Pablo Schliemann, who had the high honor of having discovered the ruins of old Troy, found among Priam's treasures a strange, very peculiar deformed vase, on which a characteristic Phoenician phrase was engraved, which literally read: "From king Chronos of Atlantis.
It is interesting to know that among the objects unearthed in Tiahuanaco, Central America, vases very similar to the treasures of Priam were found. When these vases were broken, for scientific purposes, certain coins were always found among them, in which a phrase that said: "issued in the temple of transparent walls, Atlantean national treasury" could be read with complete clarity.
In the archives of the old Buddhist temple in Lhasa, a very old Chaldean inscription can be read, written two thousand years before Christ, and which says: “when the star baal fell in the place where now there is only sea and sky, the seven cities with their golden gates and transparent temples trembled and quaked like the leaves of a tree shaken by storms; and behold a billow of fire and smoke rose from the palaces, cries of agony filled the air.
They sought refuge in their temples and citadels and the wise Mu, the priest of Ra-Mu, appeared and said to them: did I not predict this to you? You will die with your slaves and your riches, and from your ashes new nations will arise. If they forget that they must be superior, not because of what they acquire, but because of what they give, the same fate will befall them”.
Atlantis went through terrible and frightening catastrophes before totally disappearing. The first catastrophe happened eight hundred thousand years ago, more or less; the second two hundred thousand years ago and the third occurred eleven thousand years ago, and of which, as of its deluge, they keep more or less confused memory in the traditions of all human races.
The great Aryan root race, represented by the great fifth statue of Bamiyan, of which we are the seventh sub-race (fifth sun in the Aztec calendar).
The sixth great race, the Koradhi race, will be smaller than the Aryan, and the seventh will measure about ten inches tall, each of which will repeat the cycle of seven sub-races.
In the new mahamanvantara, the old planet Earth will become the moon, and a new planet will replace it. That is the law.
I have said it!
Inverential peace!
