Every word here is his. Nothing has been paraphrased or improved. Each passage was cut out of the book it belongs to by reference, and each carries that book and the paragraph it came from, so anything on this page can be found again in the source. Most of it comes from the three books where he gave a whole lesson on the sign, the Zodiacal Course, the Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology and the Manual of Practical Magic; the rest are the paragraphs where he names Aquarius in other books. Many of these passages also stand in other works of the shelf, chiefly The Words He Uses, The Three Factors and The Centres of the Human Machine. They are gathered here on purpose: the same teaching comes back in several of them because hearing it again is how it settles.

The first part is the sign and its tables: its dates and its table, its minerals, stones and plants, the pine and the tuberose: “The occult significance of Aquarius is Knowledge.” “The pine is the tree of the new age.”

The second is the seven serpents of the seven bodies: each body Christified in turn, the seven degrees of the power of fire, and the seven portals: “Each body has its “cerebro-spinal” nervous system, its medulla and its Kundalini.” “The fire of the Holy-Spirit rises from the semen, which converts us into Gods”

The third is the Knowledge of the Hermetic Astrology and the Second Birth: the four kinds of secret science, the three factors of the Revolution of Consciousness, the Bull Apis, and the solar bodies: “The Second Birth is an entirely sexual problem.” “It is necessary to learn to intelligently combine the waters of life within the two amphoras of Aquarius, the zodiacal sign of the Water Bearer.”

The fourth is death: the two paths that open before the twice-born, the three kinds of Tantrism, the many I’s and the five centres of the machine, and sacrifice, the third factor: “It is only by dying in oneself that we become Perfect Angels.” “The Law of the Solar Logos is sacrifice.”

The fifth is Uranus and Saturn, the planets of the sign: the sexual glands they govern, the hieroglyph of the water-bearer, and the calves: “Uranus is totally revolutionary” “…the calves are a marvelous magnetic womb.”

The sixth is the Age of Aquarius: the day and the hour it began, and its doctrine: “The doctrine of the New Aquarian Age is the Doctrine of the Synthesis.” “The new Era of Aquarius will be the Era of the intuitive humanity.”

The seventh is what the Age brings: its birth and its cataclysms, who will live in it, the return of Christ, and the age that comes after it: “The New Aquarian Age is a birth of nature and every birth is painful.” “Aquarius is the age of Christ”

The eighth is the natives, those born under the sign: “The great leaders of Aquarius are the revolutionaries of the era.” “Aquarius is the sign of the genius”

The ninth part is the practice: the exercise of the calves as both lessons give it, the meditation to enter the temples of the sign, its genii and its perfume: “Energy, pass through! Energy, pass through!” “…praying to his “Inner Being” that he may enter the sidereal temples of Aquarius”

This is the fourth of twelve, one for each sign, each released as the sun enters it.

IIIThe pine is the tree of Aquarius

The tree of the sign is the pine, which he also calls the tree of the new age, and the perfume of that age is the tuberose. A later book adds the magic of the pine: the cross of its branches and the iron key.

1. The pine is the tree of Aquarius. The pine is the tree of the new age. It is the sign of Aquarian thought.

Igneous Rose, 1954

74. The pine is the tree of Aquarius. 75. The magic of the pine is entirely related with children, 76. The pine is the Christmas tree.

Igneous Rose, 1954

68. The elemental creatures of the tuberose can be utilized for goals of friendship. 69. The tuberose is the perfume of the new Aquarian Age.

Igneous Rose, 1954 also in Elemental Magic, Igneous Rose

The Pine is the tree of Aquarius and possesses great magical powers. Cut a branch that is towards the rising sun and two branches from the side of the sunset and form a cross with these. The body of the cross will be made with the one branch and the arms which form the cross will be made with the two branches. Create an iron key during seven Holy Fridays. Leave a concavity or orifice in this key so that you can insert the stick of the cross through it. Whosoever carries this key will be exempt from any type of sickness which is produced by witchcraft. As well, any type of sorcery or work of black magic will have no effect over the one who bears this key. The Pine is the sacred tree of Aquarius. Every Gnostic must cultivate this tree in his garden. Pine extract cures and purifies the lungs.

Part Two — seven bodies, seven medullae and seven Kundalinis

IChristification is achieved in parts, body by body

The lesson of Aquarius in the Zodiacal Course is on the seven serpents. Each body has its own Kundalini, and each body is Christified in turn, beginning with the physical and the etheric.

PART TWO

seven bodies
They are then, seven bodies, seven medullae and seven Kundalinis

Today we have reached the constellation of Aquarius and we have to be frank.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

Christification is achieved in parts, body by body. The first thing which becomes Christified is the soul-conscience, which we extract from the physical body through the Kundalini of such a body, to enrich the soul-spirit or buddhic body.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Human Soul, The Words He Uses

A Christified and stigmatized buddhic body inevitably fuses with the Inner Being. Then follows the christification and stigmatization of the etheric body. This is achieved through the process of progress, evolution and ascension of the Kundalini of the “etheric Body”

Zodiacal Course, 1951

Each body has its “cerebro-spinal” nervous system, its medulla and its Kundalini. Each body is a complete organism. They are then, seven bodies, seven medullae and seven Kundalinis after difficult efforts and terrible and painful tests, we have achieved the total ascension of the golden Kundalini of the etheric body. The sun of the Father then shines in the rain of the night, and the five-pointed star over the head of the sage indicates that he has been given in a passing mark in all the painful tests.

Each body has its “cerebro-spinal” nervous system, its medulla and its Kundalini.

from Zodiacal Course, 1951

The date of the second initiation of greater mysteries of the sage is then set, and the latter enters happy and victorious inside the temple to receive the second initiation of greater mysteries.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

This initiation confers upon him the power to travel in the etheric body throughout all the cosmic planes.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The Kundalini of the etheric body opens all the faculties of the etheric body. The psychic extract of the etheric body is absorbed by the Inner Being little by little.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

4 passages

IIThe Kundalini of the astral body is the color of “lightening”

The third serpent belongs to the astral body. Its ascent opens the chakras of that body and leads to the third initiation.

Then follows the christification and stigmatization of the astral body. The Kundalini of the astral body is the color of “lightening” and awakens under the guidance of a specialist.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The Kundalini of the astral body opens the chakras of the astral body for us. Therefore, the full and total development of chakras of the astral body is only obtained with the third Kundalini, which is the Kundalini of the astral body.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Chakras

The ascension of the Kundalini of the astral body through the fine cord of the Sushumna canal, belonging to the astral medulla, is a very arduous and difficult task, because to conquer each “canyon” of the astral, one has to withstand and overcome the most terrible and indescribable temptations.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Secret Weapon of the Ego

When we have already obtained the total ascension of the Kundalini of the astral body, then follows the third initiation of greater mysteries and all the magnetic wheels or discs of the sage’s astral body remain totally open and resplendent.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

3 passages

IIILater comes the Christification of the mind

The fourth serpent belongs to the mind, the fifth to the causal body, and the two highest to the buddhic and the atmic bodies.

Later comes the Christification of the mind, which converts us into Arahat, This task is achieved through the mental body’s Kundalini, which is the fourth Kundalini.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The fifth serpent belongs to the causal body or superior manas, from where we extract the human-soul to fuse it with the Internal Master, and so we synthesize the septenary into the triad of “Atma-Buddhi-Manas”.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in Chesed, The Human Soul

The two superior serpents belong to the Buddhic body and to the “Atmic” body, and they confer upon us the supreme happiness and wisdom of Nirvana.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in Chesed

IVThe fire of the Holy-Spirit rises from the semen

The whole secret of the seven bodies lies in sex. The fire rises from the semen in seven degrees of power, and each serpent rises slowly, not all at once as was believed.

The eighth and ninth initiations of greater mysteries are practically macrocosmic. The important, part, therefore, resides in the “Christification” of the seven bodies, and the entire secret lies in the virile organ and in the vulva.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The fire of the Holy-Spirit rises from the semen, which converts us into Gods, but the fire of the Holy Spirit has seven degrees of power, which are the seven degrees of power of fire.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

from Zodiacal Course, 1951

All the symbolical narrations of spiritualist books, when they talk to us about “Initiation”, are totally allegorical, because never ever has anyone, before me, removed the veil of the seven degrees of the power of fire.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

Until not too long ago, the majority of spiritualists believed that on awakening the Kundalini, the latter instantly rose to the head and that man was automatically united with his Inner Being or Internal God, instantly, and converted into Mahatma. How comfortable ! How comfortably did all these theosophists, rosicrucians and spiritualists, etc, imagine high initiation.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

It has been my responsibility to remove the veil of Christification, and that is why I speak clearly, so that you may understand me.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

VThey are seven serpents and seven terrible portals

The seven Kundalinis are seven degrees of the one sexual force, raised one after the other through seven portals. The key to all powers lies in sexual magic.

The ascension of each of the seven Kundalinis is slow and difficult. Each canyon or vertebra represents determined occult powers and that is why the conquest of each canyon costs terrible tests.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

They are seven serpents and seven terrible portals. Only the terror of love and the law reigns throughout those seven portals. Not only is it necessary to kill desire but also the very knowledge of desire. The entire secret of power resides in sex.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in Desire and Will

seven portals

seven terrible portalsOnly the terror of love and the law reignsthroughout those seven portals.The entire secret of power resides in sex.
They are seven serpents and seven terrible portals.

from Zodiacal Course, 1951

The sexual force is only “one”, unique and of absolutely universal character, whose principal deposit resides in the absolute.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

At the beginning of the Manhanvantara, that force expresses itself through the seven degrees of power of fire, and those seven degrees reside in our seven bodies; and they are our seven Kundalinis, which we have to successively raise one after the other, through the seven portals That is why the Buddha said: “Listen to me properly, for in each human Buddha there are seven Buddhas! These are the seven psychic extracts from the seven bodies and the seven serpents.”

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The sexual organs of all the living species are merely the instruments of that unique and universal sexual energy.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The key to all the empires and the key to all the powers lie in sexual magic We must raise our metallic serpent or better said, our seven serpents over the rod, just as Moses did in the desert and thus we will convert ourselves into terrible powers of the “blissful Nirvana”.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

Part Three — The Atma-Vidya is impossible without first having attained the Second Birth

8 passages

IThere are four types of knowledge or secret science

In the Hermetic Astrology the lesson of Aquarius is Knowledge. He names the four kinds of secret science and says that this book teaches the fourth, the Atma-Vidya.

PART THREE

Apis
Apis was the symbol of the Moon, both because of its horns in the shape of a crescent Moon

There are four types of knowledge or secret science. We need to know what these four types of Knowledge are.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

First: Yajna-Vidya; knowledge that is acquired with certain occult powers awakened within our own inner nature, through certain Magical Rituals.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Second: Kabbalistic Maha-Vidya; the science of the Kabbalah with all its invocations, mathematical symbols and liturgy, which can be angelic or diabolic, it all depends on the type of person that uses it.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Third: Gupta-Vidya; the science of Mantrams, the Magic of the Verb; it is based on the mystical powers of sounds, on the science of harmony.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Fourth: Atma-Vidya or Real Wisdom of the Being, of Atmian, the Superior Monad.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

All of forms of Knowledge, except the fourth, are the root of all occult sciences From all these forms of knowledge, of all of them except the fourth, come the Kabbalah, Chiromancy, Astrology, Occult Physiology, Scientific Cartomancy, etc., etc.

from Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

From all those forms of knowledge, from all those occultist branches, science has already discovered a few secrets, but the Developed Spatial Sense is not hypnotism, and neither can it be acquired through those arts.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The present book of Esoteric Hermetic Astrology has nothing to do with the carnival Astrology mentioned in newspapers. In this book we teach the Science of Atma-Vidya. The fundamental thing is Atma-Vidya; it includes all of them in their essential aspect and can even use them occasionally; but it only utilizes their synthetic extracts purified of all dross.

IIthe Three Factors for the Revolution of Consciousness

The door of wisdom is not crossed without three factors: the Second Birth, the death of the I, and sacrifice for humanity. The rest of the chapter takes each in turn.

The Golden Door of Wisdom can transform itself into the wide door and broad path, which leads to destruction, the door of magical arts practiced with egotistical ends. We are in the Age of Kali-Yuga, the Iron Age, the Black Age and all the students of Occultism are predisposed to becoming lost in the black path. It is astonishing to see the mistaken concept held by the “little brothers” regarding Occultism and the ease with which they believe they can reach the Door and cross the Threshold of Mystery without a Great Sacrifice.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

It is impossible to attain the Atma-Vidya without the Three Factors for the Revolution of Consciousness.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution, The Three Factors

The Atma-Vidya is impossible without first having attained the Second Birth. The Atma-Vidya is impossible without the death of the Pluralized I. The Atma-Vidya is impossible without Sacrifice for humanity.

from Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

It is not the Law of Evolution that confers the Atma-Vidya upon us. It is not the Law of Involution that confers the Atma-Vidya upon us. It is only on the basis of tremendous and frightening Inner Revolutions, that we arrive at the Atma-Vidya.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

The Path of the Revolution of Consciousness is the path of the Razor’s Edge; this path is terribly difficult; this path is full of dangers within and without.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Words He Uses

We are now going to study in this chapter each of the Three Factors in an orderly and separate manner, so that Gnostic students can correctly guide themselves.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Words He Uses

Therefore, let our readers pay much attention to the study of each of the Three Factors of the Revolution of Consciousness, because success in this Work depends on the full Comprehension of each of the Three Factors.

IIIThe Second Birth is an entirely sexual problem

The first factor is the Second Birth. Its symbol in Egypt was the sacred bull Apis, a figure of the Philosopher's Stone.

The Second Birth is an entirely sexual problem. The Sacred Bull Apis among the ancient Egypt had to be young, healthy and strong to symbolize the Philosopher’s Stone (Sex). The Greeks, instructed by the Egyptian Hierophants also represented the Philosopher’s Stone in this manner, with one or several Bulls, as is also seen in the fable of the Cretan Minotaur.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Three Factors

The Bulls that Hercules stole from Geryon had the same alchemical meaning; we find the same symbolism in the legend of the Sacred Oxen that grazed in a tranquil manner in the Island of Sicily and which were stolen by Mercury.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Not all the sacred Bulls were black or white; some were red like those of Geryon and like those that were sacrificed by the Israelite Priest, because the Philosopher’s Stone is red at a certain moment and this is known by every alchemist.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The famous Bull Apis, so adored in the Egyptian Mysteries, was the creator and prosecutor of souls. The symbolic Bull Apis was consecrated to Isis, because it is in fact related to the Sacred Cow, the Divine Mother, Isis, whom no mortal has ever unveiled. In order for a Bull to have the high honor of being promoted to such a category, it was necessary for it to be black and to have on its forehead or on one of its shoulder blades, a white spot in the shape of a crescent Moon.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

It is also true, that said sacred bull had to have been conceived under the impression of the ray and have under the tongue the mark of the sacred scarab.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Apis was the symbol of the Moon, both because of its horns in the shape of a crescent Moon, as well as because all throughout, except during the full moon, this celestial body always has a tenebrous part indicated by the blackness of the skin and another resplendent side, symbolized by the white spot.

IVApis is the Philosophical Matter, the Ens Seminis

Apis is the semen, in which the fire is found. Man and woman work with it to make the Solar Bodies, combining the waters in the two amphoras of Aquarius, the sign that Uranus governs.

Apis is the Philosophical Matter, the Ens Seminis (semen), that semi-solid, semi-liquid substance, that Vitriol of the Alchemists.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Words He Uses

The entire Ens Virtutis of the Fire is found within the Ens Seminis. It is necessary to transform the Moon into the Sun, in other words, to fabricate the Solar Bodies.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

These are the Mysteries of Isis, the Mysteries of the Bull Apis. When the Rune IS was studied in the old Egypt of the Pharaohs, its two Masculine-Feminine aspects were studied because the sacred word ISIS is broken up into two syllables; the first syllable is masculine and the second is feminine.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Law of Polarities

The Bull Apis is the Bull of Isis, the Philosopher’s Stone. The Man and woman should work in their Laboratorium Oratorium with that Philosophical Matter, they should transform the Moon into the Sun.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

It is urgent to acquire magical power called Kriya-Shakti or the Will of Yoga, the magical power of Solar Men, the supreme power of Creation without Generation; and this is only possible with the Maithuna (see chapter eight).

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

It is necessary to learn to intelligently combine the waters of life within the two amphoras of Aquarius, the zodiacal sign of the Water Bearer.

In the Bull Apis is represented the Moon, Isis, the primordial Substance, the Philosopher’s Stone, the Maithuna.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Aquarius is governed by Uranus and this planet controls the sexual glands. It is impossible to attain the Second Birth, Adepthood, Inner Self-Realization, if we do not study the Mysteries of Isis, if we scorn the worship of the Bull Apis, if we do not combine the Red Elixir with the White Elixir within the two Amphoras of Aquarius.

Vthe four Human Bodies

The four bodies, in Christian and in Theosophical terms. The common man has only lunar copies of them; the Solar Bodies are made in the forge of Vulcan.

In Christian terminology, the four Human Bodies are mentioned. The first is the Flesh Body; the second is the natural Body; the third is the Spiritual Body; the fourth, according to the terminology of an esoteric Christian type, is the Divine Body.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Speaking in Theosophical language, we will say that the first is the Physical Body, the second is the Astral Body, the third is the Mental Body, the fourth is the Causal Body or the Body of Conscious Will.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Our critics will become upset because we do not mention the Lingam Sarira or Vital Body, also known as the Etheric Double. We certainly do not count such a body due to the concrete fact that the latter is merely the superior section of the Physical Body, the fundamental basic center of all physical, chemical, caloric, reproductive, perceptual activities, etc.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The run-of-the-mill Intellectual Animal is not born with the Astral body, neither with the mental body, nor much less with the Causal Body; these bodies can only be artificially cultivated in the Lit Forge of Vulcan (sex).

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The Astral Body is not an indispensable implement for the Intellectual Animal; it is a luxury, a great luxury that very few can afford; nonetheless, the Intellectual Animal has a Molecular Body, a Body of Desires which is similar to the Astral Body, but is of a Lunar type, cold, ghost-like, spectral.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Desire and Will

The Intellectual Animal does not have a Mental Body, but he possesses a subtle, lunar, intellectual animal vehicle, which is very similar to the Mental Body, but of a cold and ghost-like cold nature.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The Intellectual Animal does not possess the Causal Body or the Body of Conscious Will, but he has the Essence, the Buddhata, the Soul Embryo, which is easily confused with the Causal Body.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Human Soul

The subtle Bodies that Leadbeater, Annie Besant, Steiner and many other clairvoyants studied in the poor run-of-the-mill Intellectual Animal, are the Lunar Vehicles. Whoever wants to attain the Second Birth should fabricate for himself the Solar Bodies, the authentic Astral Body, the legitimate Mental Body, the true Causal Body or Body of Conscious Will.

VIThe Solar Bodies are of flesh that does not come from Adam

The Solar Bodies are of flesh and blood and must be fed: each body has its hydrogen and its laws. Only one who has them has the Being incarnated.

There is something that can surprise Gnostic students: the Astral, Mental and causal Bodies are of flesh and blood and after having been born from within the immaculate womb of the Divine Mother, they need to nourish them for their growth and development.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

There are two types of flesh: the first is flesh which comes from Adam; the second is flesh that does not come from Adam. The Solar Bodies are of flesh that does not come from Adam.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

It is interesting to know that the Sexual Hydrogen Si-12 always crystallizes into flesh and blood. The physical body is of flesh and bones, and the Solar Bodies are also of flesh and blood.

Part Four — It is only by means of the “I” dying in a total manner that we attain the Atma Vidya

The section on death opens by correcting Count de Gabalis on the elementals. The Angels are men born twice.

PART FOUR

the rightthe left
It is only by dying in oneself that we become Perfect Angels.

Count de Gabalis is totally mistaken when he says that the Salamanders, Gnomes, Sylphs, Nymphs, need to become married with a man in order to become immortal.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Elemental Magic

Count de Gabalis’ affirmation is stupid when he says that we need total renunciation to women in order to dedicate ourselves to the immortalization of Sylphs and Nymphs. The Elementals of the Elements, of plants, minerals, animals, will be the men of the future without the need of the unworldly coitus recommended by Count de Gabalis. It is a pity that many mediums of spiritualism are married with Elementals and that many persons cohabit during dreams with Incubi, Succubi and Elementals of every type. The Internal Worlds are full of all kinds of creatures, some good and others bad, others, indifferent.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Elemental Magic

The Devas or Angels, are never inferior to Man. The Devas or Angels are True Solar Men and that is all. The Devas or Angels are twice-born.

IITwo paths open up before every twice-born

The Chinese and the Vedas name the invisible inhabitants of the inner worlds, among them the Marut, legions of Hanasmussians with two personalities. Before the twice-born open two paths: dying from moment to moment, or strengthening the I.

For the Chinese, the two most elevated types of invisible inhabitants are the Thien of a totally celestial nature and the Thi, Thu or intermediaries.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

In the narrow passes of Kuen-Lun, the central region of the Earth or Lunar Mountains has placed an entire strange and mysterious world governed by Gods.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Those Divine Beings are the Ko-Han or Lohans, governing gods of millions of creatures. The Third dress in yellow clothes and dwell in crypts or subterranean caverns; they feed on sesame, coriander and other flowers and fruits of the tree of life; they are twice-born, they study alchemy, occult botany, the Philosopher’s Stone in the fashion of Master Zanoni and his wise companion, the Great Mejnour.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

A third type of invisible inhabitants are the famous Shen or Sham, born here below in the sublunar world, whether it be to work for good, or to pay their old ancestral karma. The fourth type of inhabitants of the internal worlds mentioned by the Chinese, are the tenebrous Maha-Shan, giant sorcerers of black magic.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The most rare and most incomprehensible are the terrible Marut or Turam, beings mentioned by the Rig Veda, legions of Hanasmussians; (this word is pronounced with an H, in this manner: Hanasmussians).

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

These legions are constituted by 343 families, although certain calculations raise the number to 823 or 543 families.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

It is lamentable that these Hanasmussians are adored by certain Muslims and Brahmins. Hanasmussians have, as we already said in chapter nine of this book, two personalities: one angelic, and another diabolic.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Words He Uses

It is clear that the Solar, Angelic Personality of a Hanasmussian, never comes to instruct any candidate to Initiation, without first telling him with total frankness: “Be careful, we are the temptation that can convert you into an unfaithful.”

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The Solar Personality of every Marut or Turam, Hanasmussian knows very well that it possesses another lunar, diabolic, tenebrous Personality, which is capable of leading astray the candidate to Initiation.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Two paths open up before every twice-born, that of the right and that of the left.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Three Factors

The path of the right is the path of those who resolve to die from moment to moment, of those who dissolve the “I”. That of the left is the black path, the path of those who instead of dying from moment to moment, instead of dissolving the “I”, fortify it within the lunar bodies. Those who tread the path of the left, become Marut or Turam, in other words, Hanasmussians.

IIIThree types of Tantrism exist: White, Black and Gray

Liberation comes by dying in oneself. He names the three kinds of tantrism: the serpent rises only in the Maithuna without ejaculation, and falls with ejaculation.

Those who want to attain the Final Liberation, should die from moment to moment. It is only by dying in oneself that we become Perfect Angels.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Psychological Death, The “I” Is Memory

Three types of Tantrism exist: White, Black and Gray. Maithuna with the ejaculation of the Ens Seminis, is Black. Maithuna with the ejaculation of the Ens Seminis sometimes and sometimes without ejaculation, is Gray.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

It is with Maithuna without ejaculation that Devi Kundalini ascends through the spinal canal to develop divine powers and transform us into Angels.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

With Maithuna with ejaculation, the Igneous Serpent of our Magical Powers, instead of ascending, descends, precipitates itself from the coccygeal bone towards the atomic infernos of man, becoming the tail of Satan.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Maithuna with ejaculation sometimes and sometimes without ejaculation, is something incoherent, morbid, bestial, which is only useful to fortify the lunar Ego.

IVThe lunar Ego is a sum of I’s that should be eliminated

The abominable Kundartiguador organ left its consequences in the five cylinders of the machine: thousands of small I's, each taking command in turn.

Black Tantrists develop the abominable Kundartiguador organ. It is necessary to know that said fatal organ is the same tail of Satan.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Kundabuffer

In times which become lost in the profound night of all ages, the poor Intellectual Animal comprehended his sad situation of being a little machine which is necessary for nature’s economy and wished to die; the intervention of certain sacred individuals who committed the error of giving this unfortunate human swarm the abominable Kundartiguador organ, was then necessary.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Kundabuffer, The Mechanical Man

When the Intellectual Animal forgot his sad situation of being a little machine and fell in love with the beauties of this world, the abominable Kundartiguador organ was eliminated. Unfortunately, the bad consequences of said organ was something, which could not be forgotten; they remained deposited in the five cylinders of the machine. The first cylinder is that of the Intellect and is located in the cerebrum; the second is that of the Emotions and resides in the Solar Plexus, at the level of the navel; the third is that of Movement and resides in the superior part of the spinal column; the fourth is that of the Instincts, and is located in the inferior part of the spinal column; the fifth is that of Sex and resides in the sexual organs.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Kundabuffer, The Mechanical Man

The evil consequences of the abominable Kundartiguador organ are represented by thousands and millions of small I of an animal-like and perverse nature.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Kundabuffer

In the Intellectual Animal, there is neither a single command center, nor an “I” or permanent Ego. Each idea, each sentiment, each sensation, each desire, each I desire this, I desire such and such a thing, I Love, I do not love, is a different I.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Desire and Will, The Many I’s

All these small and quarrelsome I argue among themselves, they fight for supremacy, they are not connected among themselves, nor coordinated in any way whatsoever. Each of these small I’s depends on the changes of the circumstances of life and on the changes of impressions.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Many I’s

Each small “I” has its own ideas, its own criteria; true individuality does not exist in the poor Intellectual Animal. His concept, actions, ideas, depend on the “I” which dominates the situation in those moments.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Many I’s

When an “I” becomes enthusiastic with Gnosis, it swears eternal loyalty to our Gnostic Movement; this enthusiasm lasts until another “I” which is against these studies, takes over power. We then see with astonishment that the subject leaves and even becomes our enemy.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The “I” which, today swears eternal love to a woman, is later displaced by another “I” which has nothing to do with the promise and then the woman suffers deception.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Such an “I” automatically follows another “I” and some appear to always be accompanied by others, but there is not any order or system among all of those I’s. Each of those I’s believes itself to be everything at a given moment, but it is really nothing but the worst part of our functions, even when it has the impression of being the totality, the reality, the complete man.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The interesting thing is that we give credit to the “I” of a moment, even when that “I” is displaced by another “I” moments later. The lunar Ego is a sum of I’s that should be eliminated in a radical manner.

Differences in velocity exist among the five centers of the machine.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Centres of the Human Machine

People lavishly praise thinking, but in reality of truth, the Intellectual Center is the slowest. Afterwards, operating much faster, follow the Instinctive and Movement or Motor Centers, which have more or less the same velocity. The fastest is the Sexual Center, and is followed in order of speed, by the Emotional Center.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Centres of the Human Machine

There is an enormous difference in speed between each of the five centers of the machine.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

By studying ourselves, by observing ourselves, we will see at a simple glance that movement is faster than thought and that emotion is faster than any movement and thought.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The Motor and Instinctive Centers are thirty thousand times faster than the Intellectual Center. The Emotional Center, when it works at the velocity that is its own, is thirty thousand times faster than the Motor and Instinctive Centers.

The different centers each have their own completely different rhythm. The velocity of the centers explains a great number of well known phenomena which run-of-the-mill ordinary science cannot explain; it is enough to remember the astonishing speed of certain psychological, physiological and mental processes.

Every center is divided into two parts: positive and negative; this division is particularly clear for the Intellectual Center and the Instinctive Center.

Unpleasant emotions such as boredom, jealousies, envy, anger, irritability, fear, are totally negative.

Anger produces pain; if we put an end to anger, we sacrifice the pain, we destroy it. It is necessary to observe ourselves from moment to moment; the pluralized “I” works in each of the five centers of the machine. Sometimes it is an “I” of the Emotional Center which is the one that reacts angrily, or is jealous, or envious; sometimes the prejudices and calumnies of the Intellectual Center violently attack with all their fury; other times, the erroneous perverse habits lead us to failure, etc., etc., etc.

Uranus and Saturn are the planets that govern the constellation of Aquarius. Uranus is totally revolutionary and it is clear that reactionary, conservative, regressive and retardatory persons cannot understand it.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

We already know that Aquarius is ruled by Saturn and Uranus and that it is completely revolutionary. Saturn is allegorized in Alchemy by the black raven, the return to the primeval, original chaos. As for Uranus, it is demonstrated perfectly that it is a hundred percent rebellious, revolutionary, catastrophic.

IIThe planet Uranus controls the sexual glands

Uranus, regent of Aquarius, governs the sexual glands. Its name, Ur-Anas, is the primordial fire and water, and the new era it rules is the age of sex.

The human being must learn to live sexually. The age of sex, the New Era of Aquarius has arrived. The planet Uranus controls the sexual glands, and is the regent of the constellation of Aquarius. Thus, Sexual Alchemy is in fact the science of the New Age of Aquarius. Sexual Magic will be officially accepted in the universities of the New Aquarian Era. Those who presume themselves to be messengers of the New Age of Aquarius, and yet hate the Arcanum A.Z.F., prove to the utmost that they are really imposters, because the New Aquarian Era is governed by the regent of sex. This regent is the planet Uranus.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

Human life in itself has no meaning. To be born, to grow, to work hard to live, to reproduce like an animal and then to die; this is really a chain of torments which man carries entangled in the Soul. If this is life then it is not worth living. Fortunately we carry in our sexual gland seed, the grain. From this seed, from the grain, the Superman can be born, the Adam Christ, the Golden Child of Sexual Alchemy. For this, life is worth living. The path is sexual transmutation. This is the science of Uranus. This is the planet, which controls the gonads or sexual glands. This is the planet, which governs the constellation of Aquarius.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in The Three Factors

An in-depth study of the Sexual Glands shows us that these Glands are governed by Uranus, the Planet of Aquarius. The Sexual Glands have a dual function, because not only do they have external secretion but also internal secretion.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

It is very interesting that the Sexual Gonads are esoterically governed by Uranus, the Planet of Aquarius. Uranus was a Divine King from primeval Atlantis. Uranus reminds us of UR-ANAS, the Primordial Fire and Water. This is equivalent to the establishment of the First Luni-Solar Cult of the Androgynous “IO” in other words, the apparition of the Astrological Chaldean; therefore, Uranus, the Asura-Maya, the First Atlantean, is factually the first revealer of Sexual Mysteries.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

This unusual task can, therefore, be identified with Aquarius, zodiacal house of Uranus, Ur-Anas, the primordial Fire and Water, clearly symbolising the sexual currents in the human organism.

IIIThe symbol of Aquarius is the water carrier

The water-bearer mixing the waters of two vessels is a symbol of sexual alchemy, and the double line of Aquarius is the letter M of the eternal feminine. To reject the Maithuna is to declare oneself against Uranus, King of Sex.

Sex itself should be the most elevated and creative function. Unfortunately, ignorance reigns supreme, and humanity is very far from understanding the great mysteries of sex. If we study the book of the heavens, the marvelous zodiac, we will understand that the zodiacal sign of Aquarius governs the new Age of Aquarius. The symbol of Aquarius is the water carrier, a woman trying to intelligently mix the waters in the two buckets she carries. This symbol reminds us of sexual alchemy.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

In Pisces, people were mere slaves to their sexual instincts, symbolized by two fish in the waters of life; however, in Aquarius, people must learn to intelligently combine the waters of existence and to transmute the sexual forces.

The symbol of Aquarius is the water carrier, a woman trying to intelligently mix the waters in the two buckets she carries.

from The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

Uranus, the planet, which also governs the sexual functions, governs Aquarius. It seems incongruous and absurd that some isolated individuals and certain pseudo-esoteric schools reject the Maithuna (Sexual Magic), but nevertheless, have pretensions about initiating the New Age.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

Uranus is one hundred percent sexual, and in the new era governed by this planet, human beings should know, in depth, the mysteries of sex. Rejecting the Maithuna (Sexual Magic) means, in fact, pronouncing oneself against the sign of Aquarius, governed by Uranus, King of Sex.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

The eternal feminine element of Nature, the Magna-Mater (from which the “M” and the Aquarian hieroglyphic emanates), is always mentioned in all theologies of the north, south, west and east of the world.

Runic Magic, 1969 also in Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

It is important to know with complete clarity that from such spermatic, genesis or lacustrine static waters comes the splendid substantial hieroglyphic of the eternal zero... It is urgent to comprehend that from the dynamic or fecundating waters of the boisterous river, emerges as if by enchantment, the double line of Aquarius, that is the initial hieroglyphic of the letter M, with which everywhere the eternal feminine element is designed: Mother, Mater, Mama, Mary, Maya, Mer.

IVThe sign of Aquarius governs the calves of the legs

Aquarius rules the calves, the womb of the legs. There the energies rising from the earth meet those descending from Uranus.

The sign of Aquarius governs the calves of the legs. The Brazilians call the calves “ventres das pernas” or “matriz dos pernas” translated it means: “womb in the legs” or “uterus of the legs”

Zodiacal Course, 1951

Primitive hermaphrodite men reproduced by “spores”, and those spores used to detach from the calves of the legs. The calves are extremely erotic, and that is why every man feels sexually attracted to the woman who has beautiful calves. The terrestrial and celestial forces meet there, combining mutually.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The sign of Aquarius governs the calves. Brazilians call the calves “Ventre Das Pernas”, “Womb of the legs”, and they are not mistaken, for certainly, the calves are a marvelous magnetic womb.

The energies that rise from the earth, after passing through the bottom of the feet, reach the calves in their ascending path and meet there the energies which descend from above, from the sky of Uranus.

In this lesson we explained to our students that the hermaphrodite men reproduced by “spores” and that these were detached from the calves of the legs.

Ithe New Age of Aquarius which will begin on the 4th of February, 1962

He gives the hour the age began: the 4th of February 1962, between two and three in the afternoon, when the planets met in the constellation of Aquarius. Such a meeting comes every two thousand one hundred and sixty years.

PART SIX

the new era
The era of Aquarius has arrived, and a new lineage reigns

Much has been said about the New Age of Aquarius which will begin on the 4th of February, 1962, between two and three in the afternoon. Some assume that the new age has already begun, but this assumption is false. The new era shall begin on the 4th of February 1962.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

The seven ruling Genii of the seven planets, the moon, mercury, sun, mars, jupiter, venus and Saturn shall meet at a cosmic congress at the aforementioned hour. There will be a solar and lunar eclipse at that hour, visible in some places of the Old World. This event will be a type of celestial traffic jam in the Constellation of Aquarius. Thus, the new era shall begin with such an event. The concrete cosmic facts are what speak; the cosmic event of the 4th of February 1962 is only repeated every two thousand one hundred and sixty years in a particular constellation, each time that a new era begins.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

Thus, 1962 will be the first year of Aquarius. All the brothers of the Gnostic Movement should date their letters according to the new era. The cosmic event of 1962 will produce many catastrophes in different parts of the world.

In the year 2,500, there will be stations of interplanetary ships in the large cities. On the 4th of February of 1962, between two and three o-clock in the afternoon, the Aquarian Age began.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

The Age of Aquarius begins February 4th of 1962, between 2:00 and 3:00 pm. Many schools await the New Era. This book is the message of the new era of Aquarius. Many esoteric students will be amazed because we predict frightful cataclysms for the new era of Aquarius.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in The Wheel of the Year

It is appropriate to cite now among the grandeurs of this poor pygmy of a humanity, that date and hour---February 4th, 1962, between 2 and 3 P.M.---in which all the planets of our solar system got together in a supreme cosmic council, precisely in the brilliant constellation of Aquarius, to initiate the new Era surrounded by the august thundering of thought.

The Three Mountains, 1972

In the year 1962 the New Era of Aquarius will commence. The New Era will signify the Advent of the Christ, and the fall of that great Babylon… the death of this perverse race and a frightful cataclysm.

Mountain of Juratena

Pay the maximum of attention. First of all, it is necessary to know that since 1962, on February 4, between two and three in the afternoon, the Age of Aquarius, the Water Bearer began. There was an event that you will keep in your memories. I refer to that assembly of worlds, of planets, that were found, precisely, in the constellation of the Water Bearer. It was truly a celestial traffic jam, a meeting of worlds. There was an eclipse of the Sun and the Moon.

IIthe Dionysian wave vibrates intensely in the whole of Nature

The era of Aquarius has arrived. Under Uranus, the Lord of Aquarius, the wave of Dionysus vibrates in all nature, and the planet brings a complete revolution.

The era of Aquarius has arrived, and a new lineage reigns; the era of the “super man” has arrived.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

From that memorable date and under the regency of Uranus, the very venerable and most worthy Lord of Aquarius, the Dionysian wave vibrates intensely in the whole of Nature. The following transcendental news should be emphasized: that this planet has been, is and always will be the brilliant heavenly body that rules and governs intelligently the sexual endocrine glands.

The Three Mountains, 1972

In his other aspect of Jove or Iod-Eve, he is the male-female Jehovah, collective androgynes of Elohim of the mosaic books, Adam-Kadmon of the kabbalist, the Ia-Cho or Inacho of the Anatolia who is also Dionysus, whose vibratory wave has become very intense with the entry of the Sun in the brilliant constellation of Aquarius...

IIIthe earth entered a new era of spiritual awakening

In the Zodiacal Course he traces the forces that prepared the new consciousness of Aquarius: the Buddhic-Martian forces since the seventeenth century, and the shock that marked the monk Norbert.

Since the seventeenth century, the earth entered a new era of spiritual awakening. That awakening will shine in all its splendor in the sign of Aquarius, the present era. The cause of that awakening is due to the influence of the great enlightened “Buddha” who in the seventeenth century became the redeemer of the Martian humanity, was crucified in the forces of Mars, to redeem the Martians and help our terrestrial humanity with “BuddhicMartian” forces that radiate from Mars.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Keys of Astral Travel, Zodiacal Course

At the beginning of the twelfth century, a monk named Norbert founded an order of religious character in Europe. Before that idea occurred to that man, he was a worldly man dedicated exclusively to vices and pleasures. On a certain day, he was struck by lightning, and although he was not killed, his entire being was totally transformed. This event did not occur by coincidence nor by chance. It was a cosmic event provoked by the Gods, since this man was predestined to mark the Karma of the worlds, performing a new task, and initiating a new cultural era of the conscience. All the fluid links between the physical and astral, and mental bodies of that man remained totally modified by the “shock” of the force contained in that ray, and that external shock marked the new consciousness which would reach its splendor in Aquarius.

These exercises confer upon us “the continuous conscience”, the new Aquarian conscience.

IVThe doctrine of the New Aquarian Age is the Doctrine of the Synthesis

The age of synthesis: in Pisces man did not know how to handle the waters of life; in Aquarius he combines them. Dogmas fall away, science becomes religious and religion scientific.

The Aquarian Age which begins the 4th of February 1962 is the age of synthesis. In the sign of Pisces, the human being does not know how to handle the seminal liquor, the waters of life. In the sign of Aquarius man appears with two pitchers of water, wisely combining the waters with will and with wisdom.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

In the New Aquarian Age, the human being will stay with the synthesis of all religions. This synthesis is Sexual Magic and Christ in substance. In the Aquarian Age, man will know how to transmute the seminal liquor. In the Aquarian Age, man will accomplish marvels in the field of endocrinology, atomic physics, chemistry, astronomy, astrology, medicine, aviation etc.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

The doctrine of the New Aquarian Age is the Doctrine of the Synthesis. The doctrine which the Gnostic Movement teaches is the Doctrine of the Synthesis. We are not against any religion, school or system of spiritual teaching, We teach the synthesis of all religions and systems of inner self-realisation. That is all.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

No longer will a dogmatic type of Christianity be taught in the Aquarian Age. All dogmatic forms will disappear in Aquarius. The Christ as a substance will be comprehended in the new era. In the New Aquarian Age everything will be atomic and explosive. People will then be prepared to study the Doctrine of the Synthesis. Science will be religious and religion will be scientific. Arguments related to the subjects of the spirit and matter will disappear and people will then comprehend that both spirit and matter are modifications of the universal energy.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

Later on, he mixed the Buddhist Philosophy with the Conventional Philosophy from the Western World. Thus, the doctrine of Krishnamurti is the outcome of that mixture. The doctrine of Krishnamurti is Buddhism. However, the doctrine of Aquarius is the outcome of the mixture of Buddhist Esotericism with Christic Esotericism.

The abuse of polytheism in turn leads, by reaction to monotheism. Modern monotheism surged from the abuse of polytheism. In the Era of Aquarius, in this new phase of the Revolution of the Dialectic, polytheism should be sketched psychologically in a transcendental manner, and besides, it should be put forward intelligently. We have to make a very wise stating with a vital and integral monistic polytheism.

VThe new Aquarian Age is the era of intuition

The age of reason ends with the new era. The humanity of Aquarius will be intuitive, knowing without reasoning.

The Buddhic-Martian atoms will produce the age of intuition. (Aquarius) Our buddhic principle is the superlative conscience of the Being; it is the “soul spirit”. Now the warrior force of Mars has become buddhic, and the heroes of Light will surge everywhere.

from Igneous Rose, 1954

The voice of the heart is the voice of the Inner-Self; the voice of the Inner-Self is intuition. Action without reasoning is right action. Intuitive action is just, right and perfect. The humanity of Aquarius will be intuitive. Intellectual culture is a purely animal function of the “I”. Intellectuals are full of pride, arrogance and sexual passion. The intellect is based on reasoning and reasoning is luciferic and demonic. There are those who believe that by means of it they can know God. We say that only God knows himself.

VIAquarius is the house of friends

What changes in the new era: the temple is within, the age is for practical occultists, there are neither rich nor poor, and the yogis live in the cities among people. The many old postures and mudras are no longer needed.

In this way every home can become a Gnostic Temple, and the head of the family a priest. No more Lodges, no more schools, no more sects, no more infamy, no more exploitation! The temple is inside us, and the Supreme Priest is Christ. Aquarius, the age of light, is coming. Down with the chains! He does not want slaves.

Secret Notes of a Guru, 1952

In the age of Aquarius, every human being will know how to enter and leave the body at will. The tenebrous ones oppose the great law in order to enslave souls within their intellectual systems.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

People are tired of studying and finally want to know, see, hear and touch for themselves. The new Aquarian Age is for practical occultists; it is necessary for you to learn how to go out in the astral body at will and to travel with the physical body in the Jinas state, to fly with the body of flesh and blood, to enter the internal worlds, to visit the souls of the dead, to enter the world of the Angels with the physical body; all of this is certainly a gigantic victory of the Spirit.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

The instructors should not be called masters, but “friends” instead. Only the Inner Christ is Master. The Gnostic Movement is impersonal and made up by humble laborers. Let us reject all personalism; let us not accept bossy persons; no one is more than anyone else. Among us, we are all laborers, bricklayers, mechanics, farmers, writers, doctors, etc. Idolatry of the golden calf will now remain abolished in the Aquarian Age and we reject it in the Gnostic Movement. A God of the Fire told us: “In the Aquarian Age, capital will be decapitated;” that great being dwells in the igneous stratum of the earth. There will be no intellectuals in the new era; they are dangerous because of their barbarism and perversity; avoid interacting with them. In the new era, there will be no rich or poor persons, but rather, only worthy and decent laborers of the Great Work, that is all. We do not accept nobility titles, nor high-sounding titles such as doctor, lawyer, guru, Master, elder brother, avatar, etc. among us. We are all friends; Aquarius is the house of friends.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

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

99. Now the Yogis of the New Aquarian Era live a life of intense activity within the cities and they do not need to withdraw Into the solitary forests, because we are initiating the New Aquarian Era. This Era is of sociability, cooperation and cofraternity between all human beings without distinction of schools, races, sexes, castes and religions. 100.

As we are, we are useless, we are a total failure; as we are, we are but Egos. The psychological “I” cannot create a New Age, the psychological “I” cannot initiate the Age of Aquarius amidst the august thundering of thought, the psychological “I” cannot create the Golden Age.

The Fifth Gospel The Verticality of Existence First Gnostic Youth Encounter – Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico – July 10. 1975

We must think that the new Age of Aquarius needs supreme efforts. Old people, even if they really want to fight, even if they truly do it with all sincerity, they are already exhausted due to the years; their minds are tired due to so much suffering and they are usually crammed with so many prejudices, so many preconceptions, so much history that they have in their lives.

VIIIThis is the doctrine of the Aquarian Age

Sexual magic is the doctrine of the age, delivered publicly to begin it, and Uranus, who rules it, governs the sexual glands. Any school that does not teach the Sahaja-Maithuna is not Aquarian, and there are no longer taboos.

The hour of the victory of the martyrs is now drawing near. The people of God will overcome and Christ will be the King of Aquarius. It is urgent for men to learn to realise the miracle of the wedding of Cana in their own houses. It is necessary to transmute, in weddings, the water into wine. It is necessary to learn to enjoy love with wisdom. It is necessary to learn to subdue bestial passion. It is necessary to kill the animal ego. There are many ignorant people who believe it is impossible to realise the miracle of Cana within themselves. Don’t forget, brothers, that wise nature placed her two ganglionic cords within your spinal medulla; through these fine channels the sexual energy ascends to the brain. These two cords are our Two Witnesses: “These have power to shut Heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

Practice sexual magic and you shall become Gods. This is the doctrine of the Aquarian Age. This is Gnosticism; this is the Fifth Truth; this is the doctrine that Jesus taught in secrecy to his 70 disciples.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

In the middle ages, those who divulged the great arcane were killed, whether it was with the tunic of Nessus, the dagger, or the scaffold. We publicly deliver the arcane in order to initiate the new Aquarian Age; the great arcane is sexual magic.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

It is necessary that the vanguard of human civilization, made up of our beloved brothers, Theosophists, Rosicrucian, Hermetic Yogis, Spiritualists etc., etc. abandon their old prejudices and fears and unite to create from amongst them all a new Serpentine Civilization. It is urgent to know that the present day barbarity wrongly called civilization is approaching its final catastrophe. The world struggles in frightening chaos and if we really want to save it we all need to unite to create a Serpentine Civilization; the Civilization of Aquarius. We need to make a supreme and desperate effort to save the world because right now, all is lost.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

The dove, symbol of the Holy Spirit and of the voluptuous Venus Aphrodite, is always represented as the phallic instrument used by the Holy Spirit to impregnate the Virgin Mary. The very word “sacrosanct” is derived from sacral and is thus of phallic origin. The phallic cult is terribly divine. The phallic cult is scientifically transcendental and profoundly philosophical. The Era of Aquarius is already approaching and then even laboratories will discover the energetic and mystical principles of the phallus and uterus. The sexual glands are governed by Uranus, and enclose terrible forces that laboratory science will discover in the new era. The scientific value of the ancient phallic cults will then be publicly recognised.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

28. The Yogis of the New Aquarian Era are self-realized through the sexual act. 29. The times in which Yogis needed to withdraw into the jungle to practice their esoteric exercises are gone.

The Mysteries of Fire, 1955

The Age of Aquarius is governed by Uranus, which is the ruling planet of the sexual glands. We have to learn to use sex; the “sexual yearning” must be intelligently combined with “enthusiasm” and from this wise mixture results the revolutionary erotic intelligence of the Age of Aquarius.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Any school which does not teach the Sahaja-Maithuna is not Aquarian. Aquarius does not reject sex, it investigates it. A Mutant is a man in the broadest sense. There are no longer tabus in the Aquarian Era.

IXthe revolutionary asceticism of the new Aquarian Era

The asceticism of Aquarius does not deny life: it is the intelligent mixture of the sexual and the spiritual, and the old collective rites give way to the perfect matrimony.

In contraposition to absolute asceticism with its denying life character, emerges as if by enchantment the revolutionary asceticism of the new Aquarian Era: that is the intelligent mixture of what is sexual and what is spiritual.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

It is ostensible that in these Aquarian times, many ancient sexual cults, frequently Asiatic in their origin, will awake to life anew.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

Strange symbiosis of love and rebellion, revolutionary mysticism of Aquarius, a new asceticism...

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

In this new era of the zodiacal sign of Aquarius, the collective copulation in the manner of those forgone times becomes out of orbit, extemporaneous, antiquated and retarded. This is the sidereal instant in which all of us must walk on the amorous path of the perfect matrimony.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

The new revolutionary asceticism of Aquarius is based on sex; it is clear that in the mysteries of the LINGAM-YONI is found the key to all power.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

When dealing with transcendental and practical esotericism, we can---indeed must--emphasize the following: Everything that has been said in pure occultism concerning geomantic tables, astrology, magic herbs, wonderful parchments with cryptographic languages, in spite of being absolutely true and noble, is certainly nothing but the kindergarten, the lesser part of the Great Wisdom inherited from the orient, that consists of the radical transformation of oneself by means of the revolutionary asceticism of the new Aquarian Age (an extraordinary mixture of sexual anxiety and spiritual yearning).

Hercolubus
Aquarius brings terrible cataclysms.

Thus, the Revolution of Beelzebub is marching on. Everywhere the oppressed are rising against the oppressors and everywhere are wars and rumors of wars. What is already agonizingly old is holding onto life, while what is new wants to be born and live. The Revolution of Beelzebub is in march. The age of Aquarius is reigning and the storm of exclusivity has been unleashed with all of its fury. Parties are struggling against other parties, religions against religions, nations thrust themselves to war and each hand is risen against other hands. Everything, which is obsolete, everything which is old fights to survive, while the new wants to impose itself.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

All this proves the horrible failure of our terrestrial evolution. Human evolution has failed. Armed armies can be seen everywhere. Fire and sword will destroy this corrupt civilisation. Our Lord the Christ said it clearly in the following verses: “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has come near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to those mountains, and let not those who are inside the city depart, and let not those that are out in the country enter it; for these are days of vengeance, to fulfil all that it is written.” (Luke 21:20-22). Before long the third world war will start, and fire and sword will destroy the present civilisation. The whole Earth will become a gigantic graveyard where only crosses will be seen, and crosses, and more crosses… And we shall plant the flag of Aquarius on the smoking ruins of this huge graveyard…

Nevertheless, the times of peace have not yet arrived: nature is giving birth to the New Aquarian Age, and that labor is a painful one. The new year, 1953, will be karmic for humanity. There will be bloody revolutions, hunger and disturbances all over the world.

Currently the east and west are preparing for battle. Spain will undergo a total transformation. The East will emerge victorious. Europe will come under Soviet control. Later, in America, there will be a confederation of states. By 2018, even simple flashlights will be atomic. By the year 2500 there will be stations for interplanetary spacecraft in all cities. People will come from planets in other solar systems and will teach men to build cosmic ships. Then, in Aquarius, humanity can visit every planet in the solar system. That will be an extra help to be given to this terrestrial humanity.

Aquarius governs the atmosphere, and the age brings cataclysms: atomic war, the collision of worlds, and the planet Hercolubus at the end of the solar system's round of the zodiac.

In the Aquarian Age, devices to see egos which have disembodied will be invented. There shall be a collision of the magnetic fields of worlds; our earth’s magnetic field will collide against that of another planet. This event will put an end to our Aryan race. The entire earth will then go through a total and definite transformation. The select, the chosen, will be secretly saved and they shall serve as seeds for the sixth race.

This “I”, with its fatal mind, supposes that the Aquarian Age will be a comfortable age without any type of problems and full of great securities, since the prince of this world is a distinguished lord of commodities!

The Aquarian Message, 1960

Woe to the dwellers of the earth, the Age of Aquarius is approaching, and the ray of justice will fall upon “BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”

The Aquarian Message, 1960

AQUARIUS has influence over the terrestrial atmosphere, and Peter the chief of the Apostolic College said: “But the Day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” (Second Epistle of Peter 3:10)

The Aquarian Message, 1960

Aquarius signifies the end for this Great Babylon. The times of the end have arrived. The second coming of Christ signifies total revolution upon the face of the earth.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

This earth which is inhabited by the Arian Root Race will be destroyed by the fire of Aquarius.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in The Root Races

The whole of this will be accomplished in the present Aquarian Age. Nonetheless, before the Great Cataclysm, you will see very frightful events. The Vatican will be destroyed, the great cities of the world will become ashes, blood and ruins, money will become worthless and human beings will kill each other just for a piece of bread.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

The harsh reality of the facts is that such planet has an orbit with more years. That planet came during Lemuria and provoked great earthquakes and volcanic eruptions on that continent. That same planet came at the end of the Atlantean era and put an end to Atlantis. And now it comes at the end of our Aryan Race, and it will put an end to the Aryan Race. It works in coordination with the sidereal day, so our solar system travels around the entire Zodiac in the space of about 25,968 years. In these precise moments, the journey is ending, because this journey began after the Universal Flood in the constellation of Aquarius, and the solar system has returned again to the constellation of Aquarius. So, the journey is ending and Hercolubus is again in sight of the observatories of the entire world. Hercolubus will not attract the wicked to its subterranean or submerged regions; that concept –I repeat– is wrong. Hercolubus will produce the total revolution of the Earth’s axes –that is indeed true– and, as a sequence or corollary, all of humanity will be devoured by water. First, the fire will “have a field day”, first everything that has life will be burnt, and then the water will complete the destructive work. That is the harsh reality. In the Infernal Worlds of our planet Earth, the lost ones will involute.

from The Fifth Gospel

Now, again, such planet comes on a journey, and it comes in moments when our journey around the Zodiac has finished. I say so because only a few degrees are left before the total end. This journey we are on began in the Age of Aquarius and the solar system has returned once again to the sign of Aquarius, that is, the journey has been completed. Only a few degrees are left to be, exactly, at the end of the journey, and those few degrees imply only a few years.

IIInot all humans will live with a physical body in Aquarius

Only a chosen few reincarnate in the age of light. Those separated from their inner being sink into the abyss and wait until the luminous cycles of Aquarius have passed.

Today, the times have changed: we are beginning the New Aquarian Age and we have to isolate from this terrestrial globe those personalities that are already separated from their divine triads to cleanse the atmosphere of all evil. That is all, if this is reason for mockery on the part of lecture-hall spiritualists and occasional readers, whose fault is it? When the bridge called “Antakarana”, which communicates the divine triad with his “inferior I” is broken, then the inferior I is left separated and is sunk in the abyss of destructive forces, where it disintegrates little by little. This is the second death of which the Apocalypse talks to us about; that is, the state of consciousness called “Avitchi”. In these cases, the divine triad (Atman-Buddhi-Manas) is clothed with a new mental and astral body to continue its evolution, and the discarded personality is submerged in the state of “Avitchi”, into the most inexpressible suffering.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in Personality

The new Era is the offspring of nature, and every birth is painful. In Aquarius only a select group of souls will be able to have a physical body; and there will be light, and wisdom and beauty; this is the first resurrection, because the second one will take place in Sagittarius.

Secret Notes of a Guru, 1952 also in Sagittarius

The number of a ‘thousand years’ is decomposed caballistically as follows: 1+0+0+0=1; that is, one period; this period lasts 2000 years. During these two thousand years of Aquarius, the selected humans will be priests of God and Christ, and will reign with him during the whole of Aquarius. The borders will disappear, and the whole Earth will be a single fatherland of love and fraternity.

Secret Notes of a Guru, 1952

In the distance the first tolls of the bell of the resurrection of Aquarius are now being heard! The Christmas pine trees are full of glory. Those who are not prepared will be removed from this evolutive wave until the luminous cycles of Aquarius have passed. We are separating the sheep from the goats.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

I give to you the Ark of the Testament so that, as in the days of Noah, you can save yourselves from the Great Cataclysm. Only God’s people will be able to live in Aquarius.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

Gnostic brothers and sisters, know that not all humans will live with a physical body in Aquarius. The Great White Lodge is at this moment selecting people. The souls who have the mark of the beast on their forehead and hands can not reincorporate in the Age of Aquarius. It would be impossible to create light in an age of evil. We must carefully select people.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Return and Reincarnation

253. It is sad, very sad indeed to say the truth, but this human evolution has truly failed. 254. A very small group of souls will reincarnate in the luminous age of Aquarius. 255. I know the pseudo-theoretical spiritualists of the world very well; and with anticipation, I know that they will laugh at my affirmation and believe that I am ignorant... Poor people... I know all their theories by memory. I know all their libraries and I can asseverate that a large part of the spiritualists of these societies, classrooms, orders, etc., walk on the black path.

Igneous Rose, 1954 also in Return and Reincarnation

IVJesus Christ will return at the zenith of Aquarius

Christ will come at the height of Aquarius with his resurrected body, and many will incarnate him in the age of Christ.

When Christ comes in the Age of Aquarius, he shall be born as a man amongst men, and he will dress and look according to the fashion of the times.

Secret Notes of a Guru, 1952 also in The Intimate Christ

The coming of “Christ” is necessary so that he explains and clarifies to us in detail the doctrine that he taught us and that every religious sect has totally misrepresented. When he comes, there will be no more villains, since all the villains of these times will have already fallen in the abyss. Christ will come in the Aquarius, and then there will be on earth only good people.

Secret Notes of a Guru, 1952 also in The Intimate Christ

It is certainly true that Jesus Christ rose from the dead on the third day and lives in eastern Tibet-Shambala. He lives there with his same resurrected physical body. There He has his temple and He will come to fulfill a great mission during the height of Aquarius. When the Sun enters the constellation of Capricorn (the Age of the Holy Spirit) the souls of darkness will be given a final opportunity in the flesh and bone to define themselves for the White Lodge of Christ or the Black Lodge of Yahweh.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in The Intimate Christ

Jesus incarnated his I Am. Before Jesus, there were some who incarnated Him; after Jesus there were few who incarnated Him and in the future Age of Aquarius there will be many who will incarnate Him. Aquarius is the age of Christ, those who embody Him, Him, Him. He is the only way of salvation.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

422. However, in the Age of Aquarius, the Christic Triad will reincarnate in an integral form in order to teach christic esoterism to humanity.

Igneous Rose, 1954 also in The Intimate Christ

423. The Gnostic movement will then give its fruits, and the entire Aquarian humanity will be prepared to understand the last explanations of the Master.

Igneous Rose, 1954

Jesus Christ will return at the zenith of Aquarius with his same body that he resurrected and still preserves in the Jinn state.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in The Root Races

There are Seven Avatars and Seven Truths; each one teaches a terrible truth. Jesus Christ is not an avatar; he is more than everyone; he is the Savior of the world, the Lord of all souls. He confirms the teachings of the avatars and amplifies them. He will come at the zenith of Aquarius and will confirm the teachings that I, Samael, have given you, and so on, successively in the other races. Then the kingdom of God will have been consummated just as he announced it to his servants, the prophets.

VThey will be the instructors of Aquarius

Inhabitants of other planets will come to the Earth as the instructors of Aquarius, and travel to the other worlds of the solar system will become routine.

From the year 1950 henceforth, the souls who will receive physical bodies will be only those who will have the chance to be properly prepared to live in the age of “Aquarius”. Eventually, our planet will become almost barren, yet millions of inhabitants from other planets will come in order to illuminate the age of Aquarius.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

We spoke previously about ‘UFOs’ in our first edition of the book The Perfect Matrimony. We explained in that book that they are flying ships, and that the instructors of Aquarius will come in them.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

In the Age of Aquarius, many inhabitants of other planets will become established on the Earth. They will be the instructors of Aquarius. A few of them already live in concealment in Tibet. Journeys to other planets of the solar system will be routine; that is an extra help that will be given to our evolution. The abuse of nuclear energy awakens volcanoes and then, towards the end of the seventh subrace of the present Arian race, there will be huge earthquakes and seaquakes that will totally transform the terrestrial cortex; the Arian race will perish in these cataclysms.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in The Root Races

The people from any of the worlds of this Solar System are already very advanced and they know very well the state of barbarism in which we, the inhabitants of Earth, are found. Nevertheless, in the New Era of Aquarius the inhabitants of the different worlds of the Solar System will establish official contact with our planet earth.

The Mysteries of Fire, 1955

In the New Aquarian Era, the Aryan Root Race will conquer the interplanetary ether, and cosmic trips to other planets will become routine. Cultural and commercial interaction will be established with all of the Solar System; thus, as a consequence, the human being will elevate himself to a high cultural level.

VIprepare to confront the darkness of Capricorn

After the two thousand years of Aquarius comes Capricorn, a dark age, in which the souls held in the abyss are given a last opportunity.

Beings of Aquarius! Exert yourselves on your path towards the light. Redeem and fuse yourselves with your Intimate, before the evil ones of this XX century leave the abyss. A new sign of darkness is approaching (Capricorn). Therefore, it is the time for you to be alert and vigilant, because the Earth will again be invaded by the Demon-Souls of this Dark Age, who I, Aun Weor bound into the abyss in order for you to have the happiness that you are now enjoying.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

“A thousand years” signifies various thousands of years. In other words, Javhe and his people will remain within the abyss during the whole luminous cycle of Aquarius. Yet, in the cycle of Capricorn, the last opportunity for their repentance on our Earth will be granted to them.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

The people from the 20th Century do not understand me, but the children of Aquarius will understand. Therefore, Brothers from Aquarius listen to me: the men from the 20th Century were barbarians, and went into the abyss. You will enjoy peace while they are in the abyss, but when they come back from the abyss the earth will be again filled with a horrible darkness. Make good use of the two thousand years of light. Realise yourselves to your utmost depth, and prepare to confront the darkness of Capricorn.

Secret Notes of a Guru, 1952

Presently, the brothers of the Great College of Initiates of the White Lodge are making a selection of human personnel, separating the sheep from the goats in order to be able to initiate the new era. It would be impossible to begin an age of Light with a personnel of murderers, prostitutes and thieves. We say that everyone who spills the semen becomes a demon, even if he is a theosophist or rosicrucian; mystical thieves, irate persons and murderers also become demons. There are presently millions of souls who have horns on their foreheads; they are divorced from the Inner-Self; they are demons. Although many of them are sincerely mistaken and with good intentions, these souls have already descended to the degree of demons; and they believe themselves to be saints, how gullible they are! Demons become inhabitants of the abyss and will not be able to reincarnate in Aquarius, which is the millennium of the Apocalypse; they shall be postponed until the Age of Capricorn (the age of the Holy Spirit). There they shall be given a last opportunity. During that time, Jahve will have a physical body and he will be born in Palestine; he will be a warrior. Then the inhabitants of the abyss, after having experienced the terrors of the abyss, will be called to order and they will have to define themselves in the flesh, for Christ or Jahve.

IITaurines should not marry persons of Aquarius

From the chapter on Taurus: the two signs are incompatible, the one fixed and of earth, the other of air and revolutionary.

In practice we have been able to evince that Taurines should not marry persons of Aquarius because they inevitably fail due to the incompatibility of characters.

✦ ✦ ✦

How this was made. All fifty-two books were extracted (73,105 paragraphs, 2,157,671 words) and swept for the sign. The sweep took the whole Aquarius chapters of three books: the Zodiacal Course (1951, ¶806–858, with the summary of the eleventh lesson, ¶1036–1041, and the line of the genii, ¶942; 60 paragraphs), the Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology (1967, ¶873–1033, 161) and the Manual of Practical Magic (1954, ¶530–533, 4). It then took every other paragraph in any book that names Aquarius (278, the Spanish text of the Christmas Message of 1952 among them), the lines of his correspondence tables not already in, the plants and the perfume of Occult Medicine and Practical Magic and the table of the body in the Hermetic Astrology (¶28) (2 not already taken), and, where his sentence ran across the paragraph break, the paragraph beside it (150). That returned 655 candidate paragraphs in 38 books, 152 of them already printed in another work of the shelf. Every candidate was read twice, by independent readers working from a written brief. The two passes agreed on whether to print 96.2% of the time and on the class 95.4%. A third reader, who saw neither verdict, settled twenty-four of the twenty-five disagreements on whether to print, and read ¶828 of the Zodiacal Course again for the doctrine; the last, the row label AQUARIUS of the perfume table in Occult Medicine (¶1611), was set aside at placing, since the line it labels prints. Where the two differed only on the class, the first reader’s class stands. 394 were judged printable. Of these, ten were left out (named below) and 75 were joined into the passage before them where his sentence or his list ran across several paragraphs, so 309 passages are printed here. The rest are recorded with the reason each was set aside.

The practices were not gathered in a separate pass. The seven passages marked as practices are the ones the readers marked as giving the reader something to do. Four of them are gathered as the last part, with the two passages that stand among them, the genii of the sign and the line of its perfume; the other three stand where they cannot be lifted out: two in the fourth part, working with Proserpine on a defect first comprehended and finding the defects by meditation, among his words on the I’s they rest on, and one in the sixth, inside a Christmas Message on the doctrine of the age.

What was set aside. Of the 261 paragraphs the readers set aside, 120 carried “Aquarius” only as a label: the Avatar of Aquarius and his other titles, the title Aquarian Message, bylines, dates such as the second year of Aquarius, and the names of schools and movements. 62 were headings, the titles, salutations and sign-offs of his letters and messages, and bare list items; 29 named the sign only in passing (a narrative, the promise of Tlaloc to return, a line of rhetoric); 17 were an index, a table of contents, a bibliography, a chronology or a translator’s note; 17 said nothing on the sign (the lead-in to a set-aside line, a continuation, another subject); 12 belonged to another sign or listed all twelve; and four were the Spanish copy of the Christmas Message of 1952.

Nineteen mends, every one recorded. Eight are fixes, which put a scanner’s slip right: “which can. be angelic” for “which can be angelic”; “The AtmaVidya is impossible” for “The Atma-Vidya is impossible”; “the Mysteries o Isis” for “the Mysteries of Isis”; “if we do no to combine” for “if we do not combine”; “of the PhysicalBody” for “of the Physical Body”; “wisely combing the waters” for “wisely combining the waters”; “without distinctionof schools” for “without distinction of schools”; “to the battlel” for “to the battle!”. Four are joins, which close up a word the scan broke in two: “is de rived from sacral” for “is derived from sacral”; “is al ready approaching” for “is already approaching”; “the ener getic and mystical” for “the energetic and mystical”; “the internal wo rlds until” for “the internal worlds until”. Seven are trims, where the extraction ran words that are not part of the passage into it: in the Zodiacal Course (¶487) the end of an exercise for another constellation before it and a line on the four Lords of the karmic balance after it; two items on clairvoyance before item 93 of the Igneous Rose (¶1201); the riddles before “When we know” in the Greater Mysteries (¶1070); the end of the sentence before in the Secret Notes of a Guru (¶298) and in the Christmas Messages (¶393); and the item before “142. AQUARIUS” in the Manual of Practical Magic (¶530), which belongs to the sign before. Four lines were lifted out of the passages they stand inside: the headings of the exercise and the prayer in the exercise of the calves, in both lessons, and a page header inside a Christmas Message. Otherwise the passages are printed as the extraction gives them, its remaining slips included (“important, part”, “withdraw Into”).

No sentence of his is cut in half. Each range was extended against the corpus until his sentence closed, and 58 ranges run over more than one paragraph.

Ten paragraphs were left out on purpose, each because the same words print elsewhere on the page: three paragraphs of the Christmas Message of 1952 (¶236–238) that are the Spanish copy of its English text, which prints; two more of that message (¶258–259) whose same words print from the Christmas Messages (¶141–143); four paragraphs of Tarot and Kabbalah (¶2484–2486, 2492) that repeat The Buddha’s Necklace (¶162–165), which prints them whole; and one line of the Igneous Rose (¶2065) that the Greater Mysteries (¶782) prints in its teaching on intuition. Every other paragraph judged printable is printed.

110 passages also stand in a finished work, and every one is marked where it stands, most often in The Words He Uses (15), The Three Factors (12) and The Centres of the Human Machine (12). The repetition is wanted: this is the vocabulary of the whole teaching, and a reader who meets the same line in a second book holds it better. What is not allowed is an overlap a reader cannot see.

One passage carries an editor’s note: item 21 of The Mysteries of Fire (1955, ¶439), on the breath in Pranayama, in the sixth part; the note under it gives his later teaching. Every passage from his early books was read for a line that credits the Kundalini to anything other than the work of the couple, and that is the only one: the seven serpents of the Zodiacal Course stand in a lesson that ties every one of them to sexual magic, and the Christmas Message beside them names the work with one’s wife.

Checked twice over. Every section and part title is a line of his, proved against the passages under it. And every passage was checked word for word against a fresh extraction of its book.

The fourth work of The Zodiac, beside Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn and the Zodiacal Course booklet on the shelf, which prints his practice for every sign. This one gathers everything he says on one sign. It wears the pale night-blue of the zodiac and the themed works’ two hairlines, in the green of his table for the sign.
