Zodiacal Course, 1951

The plants of CAPRICORN are cold and dry, they have greenish flowers and a skeletal figure, similar to the knees.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978) also in The Herbal Pharmacopoeia

Capricorn is the door of heaven, because it is the house of Saturn.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

Today we have arrived at the constellation of Capricorn in this course.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

This constellation is the house of Saturn, the elder of Time. Saturn is the most faraway planet of the Earth’s solar system. The moon is the closest satellite to earth. Mercury follows and then, in order of distance, follows Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, in orderly intervals of distance.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

On this natural and cosmic basis is based the very ancient calendar of: Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The Roman Catholics adulterated this legitimate calendar, and based on this falsification, the modernist Astrology of Arithmetic has been erected. It is logical then, for modern Astrology, sustained on a false basis, to be a true failure.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

Now it is our responsibility to restore the authentic ancient Astrology, and for this, it is of necessary and essential urgency, to return once again to the legitimate Archaic Calendar. All the Astrological works of Max Heindel and of Alpherat, are based on a false calendar, they do not have a fundamental basis, and are mistaken.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

We, the Gnostics, are the restorers of the esoteric wisdom.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

I, Samael Aun Weor, am the Great Avatar of Aquarius. I am the initiator of the New Era. I am the messenger of the superior worlds of consciousness and I have come to bring the culture for the New Era. I have come to form a new race of gods, and I want thee to listen to me. “Ask and it shall be given thee”, “Knock and it shall be opened”. This is what the sacred Scriptures say.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

I have taught thee the unutterable mystery of the great arcane, and I want thee to learn to manipulate the spark of the stars to govern Nature.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

Listen to me properly: The planetary hours as they come in the astrological annuals and texts of Astrology in general, are false and absurd, because the calendar in fashion is false and absurd, and because no archaic people ever used the so “boastful” and curious hours of the modern astrologers.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The ancient sages considered the day as a cross within a perfect circle. These old contemplators of the stars, with their scrutinizing eyes, penetrated profoundly in the mysteries of the stars and received the enlightenment of the planetary Gods. Those old astrologers learnt from the Gods that the day is divided into four parts, like a cross within the perfect circle.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

They knew that the day was only governed by four planets according to the old order: Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn The first quarter of the day is governed by the planet of the day, which carries its name, and the second, third and fourth quarters of the day develop according to the order of the planets: Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

So, Monday corresponds to the actual Sunday, and the present Saturday is the seventh day.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Wheel of the Year

The following illustration presents the authentic planetary order: For those who do not know the planetary signs, we explain them to you as follows: Moon …………………………….. Mercury ………………………… Venus ………………………… Sun ………………………………. Mars …………………………….. Jupiter …………………………... Saturn …………………………...

Zodiacal Course, 1951

In this manner, the twelve hours of the day are divided into four parts, each of them of three hours.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

This simple, fast and easy method lets us know exactly what planet is ruling space at a given moment. This was the system that the great ancient Astrologers knew, and they learnt it from the sidereal Gods.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

Here one does not need the famous calculations of the arithmetic astrologers. Here the only thing required is a little practice and good sense to know the sidereal time. This so simple and sublime system can be learnt by anyone, since here we do not have any need of so many complications, nor of so many “logarithms”, or of “tables of houses”, or of voluminous astrological “ephemeris”, or of that complicated “jargon” of the pseudo-wises of arithmetical astrology.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

A new lineage of astrologers, the enlightened of the “new era”, the paladins of Aquarius, has now been born. We no longer need the horoscopes of arithmetic, now we converse with the Gods to know the destinies of men.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Law of Destiny

Shake the dust of thy heads, old astrology professors, because the first bells of Aquarius have resounded, singing the Easter of resurrection.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

Leave us in peace, arithmetic astrologers; we are already tired of thy errors, burn all that jargon of logarithms, ephemeris, tables of houses, etc.!

Zodiacal Course, 1951

We are now only interested in the paladins of the new era, the enlightened astrologers who know how to talk with the sidereal Gods. We are already bored with so much theory, and we are going to the “grain”, to what is “effective”, to what is “real”. We do not want more blind astrologers, sustained by the crutches of numbers!

Zodiacal Course, 1951

We are now only interested in the clairvoyants of the stars, the priests of the sidereal temples, the sages of Aquarius.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The mind should free itself from all kinds of “schools”, religions, sects, beliefs, etc. All those “cages” are obstacles which render the mind incapable of thinking freely. There is a need to become free of the illusions of this world and become the fine and marvelous instrument of the Inner-Being.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Mind

We have to free the mind of all kinds of desirous reasonings.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Mind

It is important to Christify the mind; the “Christ-mind”.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Mind

We need a mind that only thinks with the heart. We need a mind which only listens to the voice of hunches.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

We need a mind which does not reason when the heart commands !

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The mind which only obeys hunches is a “Christ-mind”.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition, The Mind

The mind, which does not reason and only acts under the orders from the heart, is the “Christ-mind”.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Mind

The mind which does not react before external impacts is a “Christ-mind”. The mind should become the instrument of the heart.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Mind

What does the reason know? Reason is painful process of the mind, based on the illusion of external things.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Mind

Reason does nothing but divide the mind between the struggles of the antithesis. The decisions of reason are daughters of ignorance and always bring pain.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Law of Opposites, The Law of the Pendulum, The Mind

The new humanity will be the humanity of intuition.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

The intuitive only acts with the voice of the silence.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

The total Christification of the mind is only achieved with the Kundalini of the “Mental Body”.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The Kundalini of the mental body is the fourth degree of the power of fire.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

Through the Kundalini of the mental body we extract the “Christ-mind” from the animalsoul. We must expel all kinds of earthly thoughts from the mental temple. Master H.P.B. says the following in the “The Voice of the Silence”: “Thou have to reach the fixity of the mind in which no breeze, however strong, can waft an earthly thought within. Thus purified, the shrine must of all action, sound, or earthly light be void; even as the butterfly, overtaken by the frost, falls lifeless at the threshold so must all earthly thoughts fall dead before the fane”. “Behold it written:” Ere the gold flame can burn with steady light, the lamps must stand well guarded in a spot free from all wind.”

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Mind

Reason is of the “animal I”, “intuition” is the voice of the “Inner Being”. Reason is external, intuition is internal.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition, The Being Is the Being

The fourth degree of power of fire converts us into ARHAT.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The mental body also has its medulla and its serpent. The ascent of the Kundalini of the mind is achieved with the merits of the heart.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

In Capricorn, we have spoken of the mind, because this sign is the house of Saturn, and in said astro live the green Hierarchies that gave man his mental body.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

When the soul disembodies, following the “post-mortem” states, it reaches the ultraSaturnian sphere, submerges in the infinite and feels the sensation of having the entire infinite within it. This sensation continues until the soul feels bound to a new physical body which allows it to return once more to the painful school of life to continue its ascent through the spiral of life.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in Return and Reincarnation

The Being, the Inner-Self the Monad, has two Souls; the first is the Spiritual Soul, the second is the Human Soul. The former is Dante’s Beatrice, Beautiful Helen, the Shulamite of the wise Solomon, the ineffable adorable wife, the Buddhi of Theosophy. The Latter is the Human Soul, the Causal Principle, the Noble Husband, the Superior Manas of Theosophy.

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

Even when it may seem rare and strange, while the Human Soul works, the Spiritual Soul plays.

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

Adam and Eve integrate within the Monad and its Kabbalistic value is 10, which reminds us of the IO, in other words, of the vowels iiiiiii ooooooo. The very sacred union of the Eternal Masculine with the Eternal Feminine, the integration of the opposites within the Essential and Divine Monad.

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

The Divine Triad, Atman-Buddhi-Manas, the Being, we have said and we repeat, is not born, neither does he die, nor reincarnate in the run-of-the-mill intellectual animals. We can and should affirm beyond all doubt, that only a fraction of the Human Soul lives inside the Lunar Bodies; the latter is the Essence, the psychic material to elaborate a Soul, to develop the Human Soul and thereby the Spiritual Soul.

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

The Monad, the Being, creates, fabricates, develops his Two Souls and the latter should serve and obey him.

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

We should distinguish between Monads and Souls. A Monad, in other words, a Spirit is; a Soul is possessed.

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

Distinguish between the Monad of a world and the Soul of a world; between the Monad of a man and the Soul of a man; between the Monad of an ant and the Soul of an ant. The human organism, in final synthesis, is constituted by billions and trillions of infinitesimal Monads.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

There are several types and orders of primary elements of all existence, of every organism, in the manner of germs of all the phenomena of nature; we can call the latter monads, employing the term of Leibnitz, in the absence of a more descriptive term to indicate the simplicity of the most simple existence.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

An atom, as a vehicle of action, corresponds to each of these germs or Monads.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The Monads attract each other, combine, transform themselves, giving form to every organism, world, micro-organism, etc.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Hierarchies exist among the Monads; the Inferior Monads must obey the Superior ones, that is the Law. Inferior Monads belong to the Superior ones.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

All the trillions of Monads that animate the human organism have to obey the owner, the chief, the Principal Monad.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The regulating monad, the Primordial Monad permits the activity of all of its subordinates inside the human organism, until the time indicated by the Law of Karma. When the billions or trillions of Monads or vital germs abandon the physical body, death is then inevitable.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The Monads in themselves are indestructible; they abandon their old connections in order to briefly carry out other new ones.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The Return to this world, the Reentry, Reembodiment would be impossible without the work of the Monads. They reconstruct new cells with their perceptions and sensations, they reconstruct new organisms. When the primordial Monad is totally developed, it can afford to utilize its trillions of Monads to create a world, a Sun, a comet and thus become a Regulating Monad of any Star, but that is already something of Gods.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Return and Reincarnation

The monads or Vital Germs are not exclusive of the physical organism; within the atoms of the Internal Bodies there are found imprisoned many orders and categories of Living Monads. The existence of any physical or suprasensible, Angelic or Diabolical, Solar or Lunar body, has billions and trillions of Monads as the foundation.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The lunar Ego in itself is a composite of atoms of the secret enemy. Unfortunately, the Monads or vital Germs are prisoners within such atoms.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Now we will comprehend why occult science says, “The Demon is God in reverse.”

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

To each atom corresponds a vital Germ, a monad. All the infinite modifications, all the innumerable transformations, are the result of the varied combinations of the monads. Nature deposits in the Three Cerebrums of the human being a certain capital of Vital Values; when the latter are exhausted, death is inevitable.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The Three Cerebrums are: 1.—The Intellectual Center; 2.—The Emotional Center; 3.—The Motor Center.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

After the death of the physical body, the Ego garbed with its Lunar Bodies, continues in the molecular world.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Three things go to the cemetery, to the sepulcher: 1.—The Physical Body; 2.—The Vital Body; 3.—The Personality.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The vital body floats near the sepulcher and disintegrates as the physical body disintegrates, as its Monads become liberated.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The Personality is inside the sepulcher, but it comes out when someone takes flowers, when a mourner visits it, it ambulates in the cemetery and returns to the sepulcher. The Personality has a beginning and an end; it slowly disintegrates in the cemetery. Proserpine, the Queen of the Infernos, is also Hekate, the Blessed Goddess Mother Death under whose direction work the Angels of Death.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Mother Space converted into Mother Death dearly loves her children and that is why she takes them away.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The Angels of death, when they are working, wear their funeral suits; they assume a spectral figure, they clutch the scythe and with it cut the silver cord that connects the Internal Bodies to the Physical Body.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The Angels of Death cut the cord of life and take the Ego out of the physical body. The Angels of Death are very wise and they develop and unfold under the Ray of Saturn. The Angels of Death do not only know what is related with the run-of-the-mill death of the physical body; these Ministers of Death are, moreover, profoundly wise in everything related with the Death of the Pluralized I.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

After the death of the body, the disembodied one falls into a fainting fit which lasts three and a half days.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The Tibetan Book of the Dead says, “You have been in a faint during the last three and a half days. As soon as you recover from this faint, you will have the thought, what has happened?, for in that moment, the entire Samsara (phenomenal universe) will be in revolution.”

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The Kabbalistic value of the Ego is fifty-six; this is the number of Typhoon, the mind without spirituality.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The Ego carries away its worldliness beyond the sepulcher of the physical body and the retrospective vision of the life that just passed away is very terrible.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Retrospective Exercise

After the Great Faint of three and a half days, the deceased have to slowly relive in a retrospective manner, the entire life that just passed.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Retrospective Exercise

The Time concept is something very important in the work of the retrospective vision of the life that just passed or retrospective vision of Samsara.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

In the infernal worlds, all time scales are mineral, frightfully slow and oscillate between 80,000, 8,000, 800 and 80 years.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

In this Cellular Region in which we live, gestation lasts ten lunar months; infancy, one hundred lunar months; life, more or less one thousand lunar months.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Malkuth

In the Molecular World, events can be measured with the time scale that goes from one month to forty minutes.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

In the Electronic World, the time scale oscillates between forty minutes and two and a half seconds.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The Retrospective Vision of Samsara (the life that just passed), in the instant of death and during the subsequent three and a half days, is of an electronic type and that is why each event can be measured with the Electronic time measurement.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Retrospective Exercise

The Retrospective Vision of Samsara in the Molecular World is slower and that is why each event is measured with the Molecular Time Measurement.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The Inner-Self, the Monad, the being with its Two Souls, before we were born in this valley of tears, dwells in the Milky Way and even during the life of the physical body here below, continues living in the stars.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Being Is the Being

The fundamental thing for the essence, after death, is to attain the Relative Buddhic State and the Intermediate liberation; this is only possible for the Soul Embryo that we have within, by climbing, ascending to the Electronic World.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

It is urgent to know that our Divine Immortal Triad, our being, our Buddha, lives in the Electronic World.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

To unite with the immortal Triad after death, to be one with it, in fact means to have become a Relative Buddha, to have achieved Intermediate Liberation and to enjoy a beautiful vacation before returning to a new human organism.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

If the Clear Primordial Light has been properly recognized at the supreme moment of death by the deceased, it is a clear sign that he has achieved Intermediate Liberation. If the deceased only perceives the Secondary Clear light at the supreme moment of death, it is a sign that he will have to struggle much to reach the Relative Buddhic State.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The difficult thing for the Essence is to become unbottled, to escape from its prison, to come out of the Lunar Bodies, to abandon the Pluralized I. Each person’s Karma is definitive in this matter.

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

When the deceased has relived the entire life that has just passed in a retrospective manner, he then has to appear before the Tribunals of karma in order to be judged. The legend of Zoroaster says, “Everyone whose good deeds exceeds his sin by three grams, goes to heaven; everyone whose sin is greater, goes to hell; while he, in whom they are equal, remains in the Hamistikan until the future body or resurrection.” Nowadays, in these times of perversity and crude atheistic materialism, a portion of the disembodied join the submerged mineral kingdom, the Infernal Worlds, after the judgment.

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

Also, many are the millions who enter a new womb in an immediate manner, without having had a good vacation in the Superior Worlds.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Certainly, the selection process exists in all of nature and few are those who achieve Intermediate Liberation and the Relative Buddhic State.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The disembodied join Eternity under the influences of the Moon and exit Eternity through the doors of the Moon.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

We have already seen in the lesson of Cancer that the entire life of all persons is processed under the influences of the Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, with life closing with a Lunar end.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Really, the Moon takes us and the Moon brings us and the seven types of planetary vibrations in their indicated classical order, also repeat themselves after death for “As it is above, so is it below.”

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

The Essences, who after having been judged, have the right to intermediate Liberation and the Relative Buddhic State, need a certain type of very special ecstasy and constant right effort in order to become unbottled, to escape from the Lunar Bodies and the Ego. Fortunately, different groups of Masters assist the disembodied and help them in this work with the Rays of Grace.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

In the same manner that Republics, Kingdoms, Presidents, Kings, Governors, etc. exist in this cellular world in which we live, likewise in the molecular world, there are many Paradises, Regions and Kingdoms where the Essences enjoy indescribable states of happiness.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The disembodied ones can enter Kingdoms of paradisaic happiness such as: that of dense concentration; the Kingdom of Long Hair (Vafrapani); or the Unlimited Vihara of the Lotus Radiation (Padma Sambhava).

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The disembodied ones who march towards the Intermediate liberation should help themselves, by concentrating the mind on any of the Kingdoms of the Molecular World. It is really very painful to wander from life to life, to roam through the horrible sewer of Samsara without enjoying the Buddhic State and the Intermediate Liberation.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

There are Kingdoms of inconceivable happiness that the disembodied one should make the effort to enter; let us remember the Blissful Kingdom of the West governed by Amitabha Buddha.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Let us remember Maitreya’s Kingdom, the heavens of Tushita, that Kingdom of supreme bliss, which the disembodied ones who are headed towards the Electronic World can also enter.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The disembodied ones should pray a lot to the Great Compassionate One and his Divine Triad, firm in their purposes, without allowing themselves to be deviated by anything, if they truly do not want to fall into a new womb without having enjoyed the Intermediate Buddhic State in the World of Free Electrons. Happiness in the Electronic Regions, the Intermediate Liberation after having passed through the molecular paradises, is something that is impossible to describe with human words.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The Buddhas travel through the Inalterable Infinite among the indescribable symphonies of the worlds, which throb within the bosom of Mother-Space.

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

However, every reward, every capital becomes exhausted. When the Dharma of happiness is exhausted, the Return to a new womb is then inevitable.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Return and Reincarnation, The Law of Karma

The Essence loses the ecstasy, attracted by the Lunar Ego and, already bottled up once again inside the Lunar Bodies, returns to a new womb.

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

The instant in which the Essence loses the ecstasy is that in which it once again separates from its Inner-Buddha to remain bottled up in the Lunar Bodies and the Pluralized “I”. The Return to a new womb is carried out in accordance with the Law of Karma.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Return and Reincarnation, The Human Soul, The Law of Karma

The Ego continues in the descendants of its past or past lives.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Return and Reincarnation

The Monads of its past physical body have the power of reuniting atoms, molecules and of reconstructing cells and organs; in this manner we return to this cellular world garbed with a new physical body.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Return and Reincarnation

The poor intellectual animal begins his life in this world as a simple germinal cell, subject to the swift time of the cells and ends after about eighty years or more, loaded with memories and experiences of every kind.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

It is urgent to know that a certain Selection also occurs in the process of Reentry or Return.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The “I” is a sum of small I’s and not all of those I’s return to a new human organism. The “I” is a sum of different, diverse entities, without an order of any type and not all of those entities return to a new human organism; many of those entities reembody in bodies of horses, dogs, cats, pigs, etc., etc., etc.

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

On a certain occasion when Master Pythagoras was walking with a friend of his, the latter hit a dog. The Master scolded him, saying, “Do not hit him, for in his painful bark I have recognized the voice of an old friend who died.”

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

It is clear that upon arriving at this part of our present chapter, the fanatics of the dogma of Evolution will launch against us all their defamatory dribble and will protest saying, “The Ego cannot retrogress, everything evolves, everything should reach perfection, etc., etc., etc.”

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

Those fanatics ignore that the Ego is a sum of small animal I and that like attracts like. Those fanatics ignore that the Ego does not have anything that is divine; it is a sum of animal entities that the Law of Evolution will never be able to take to perfection. The animal entities have the full right to enter animal wombs of dogs, horses, pigs, etc., etc., etc., and that cannot be prohibited by the fanatics of the dogma of evolution, even if they yell, curse, and fume.

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

This is the Doctrine of the Metamorphosis or Metempsychosis of Pythagoras and is founded on the same Laws of Nature.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Return and Reincarnation

In the Golden Ass of Apuleius we find this Doctrine of Pythagoras totally documented. Apuleius says that in the Thessaly of witchcraft, the rocks were nothing but petrified men; the birds, men with wings; the trees, men with foliage; the fountains, human bodies that bled clear lymph. This is an admirable symbolic way to represent the doubtless fact for every occultist, that the different entities that constitute the Pluralized I, can become reembodied in the organisms of beasts or enter the Mineral, Vegetable Kingdom, etc., etc., etc.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Return and Reincarnation

With just reason Christian Mystics speak with love about the sister plant, the brother wolf, the sister rock.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Rudolf Steiner, the German Initiate, says that only man existed in the Polar Era and that animals existed later, they were inside man, they were eliminated by man.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Root Races

Those animals were the different parts or entities of the Pluralized “I” of the Original Men. Those entities that were eliminated from their internal nature and due to the protoplasmic state of the Earth of that epoch, marched towards the present physical crystallization.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Those Polar and Hyperborean Men had the need to eliminate those animal entities, that Pluralized I, in order to become True Men, Solar Men.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Root Races

Some subjects are so animal-like, that if all that they have that is animal-like was to be removed from them, nothing would remain.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Saturn, Lord of death, finds his house in Capricorn. Capricorn influences the knees and the human skeleton. The currents which rise from the earth, on reaching the knees, become charged with the lead of Saturn. Lead gives strength and constancy to those currents.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The knees possess a marvelous substance which allows them the free movement of such a simple and marvelous osseous gear. “Sinovia” is the substance which means (sin) with, and (ovia) egg; “Substance with egg”.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The egg is truly a marvelous substance. Esoteric experiments, highly scientific, in relation with the unfoldment of the human personality, prove that the shell of the egg has certain occult powers which facilitate astral unfoldment (travel).

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

Aries governs the head; Taurus, the throat; Gemini, the arms, legs and lungs; Cancer, the thymus gland; Leo, the heart; Virgo, the abdomen, the intestines; Libra, the kidneys; Scorpio, the sexual organs; Sagittarius, the major femoral arteries; Capricorn, the knees; Aquarius, the calves; Pisces, the feet.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Sagittarius, Scorpio

Saturn is the planet of Death and becomes exalted in Capricorn. This sign is symbolized by a small goat as if to remind us of the goatskin, of the intellectual animals with goatskin, of the need to eliminate what we have that is animal-like in us, the animal entities that we carry within.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The stone of Capricorn is the black onyx and every black stone in general; the metal is lead and its day is Saturday.

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

On Saturday, the witches of the Middle Ages celebrated their horrible witch’s Sabbath, but Saturday is the seventh day which is so sacred for the Jews. Saturn is life and death. The path of life is formed by the tracks of the hooves of the horse of death.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The magnetic currents that ascend from the earth, afterwards become divine.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The magnetic currents that ascend from the earth after passing through the sieves of the feet, continue along the calves and when they arrive at the knees, they become charged with the lead of Saturn, thus acquiring solidity, form, strength.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

We are not talking about lead in its gross state, we are talking about lead in a subtle, colloidal state.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

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

They will remain there until the age of Capricorn, then afterwards, the last opportunity will be granted to them to repent of their evilness.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

But on Capricorn another black epoch will come, and the malevolent souls, that are actually entering the abyss, will again reincarnate in our Earth, and they will be given then another magnificent opportunity to repent from their evil ways.

Secret Notes of a Guru, 1952 also in Return and Reincarnation

“And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be loosed from his prison and will come out to deceive the nations which are at the four corners of the earth, that is, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. And they marched up over the broad earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city; but fire came down from heaven and consumed them.” (Rev.20: 79). In Capricorn, another opportunity will be given to the demon-souls to repent. And a physical body will be given even to Jahve himself. And Jahve will be born in the land of Judea, and the Jews will present him as a Messiah, they will say that this is the Messiah they were waiting for, and Jahve will perform miracles and fraudulent prodigies; and the souls, completely unredeemed, will go back with Jahve to the abyss for ever... And in the abyss these souls will go through the second death. These personalities, separated from the “Intimate” will disintegrate little by little among the flood of tears and the gnashing of the teeth.

Secret Notes of a Guru, 1952

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

The Avitchi is a plane of submerged consciousness. The Avitchi is a lake burning with the fire of passion. The Avitchi is a submerged world, the “Abyss”. And it is painful to say it, but human evolution has failed, and humanity is falling almost in its totality in the horrible abyss. There is no doubt that in Capricorn many of the souls that experienced the pain of the “abyss” at last decided to follow the teachings of the CHRIST. But, Oh, God! Poor souls, those that when “Sagittarius” commences, have not repented from their sins, because then they will go back to the abyss for ever, and will be tormented for ever more.

Secret Notes of a Guru, 1952 also in Sagittarius, The Klipoth

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

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.

The women of Capricorn are magnificent wives, faithful to death, industrious, hardworkers, patient to the maximum, but in spite of all of those virtues, the husband betrays them, abandons them and often against their own will; unfortunately, that is their karma. Some women of Capricorn get involved with other men, but this is only after already being abandoned by the husband and after having suffered frightfully.
