Every word here is his. Nothing has been paraphrased, joined 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.

The first part is the astral ghost, the lunar body of desires people carry now: “…the intellectual animal, falsely called man, still does not have an astral body.” “He does not have a Solar Astral Body.”

The second part is how the true astral body is born, of sex, by the octave of the sexual hydrogen: “Only with Sexual Magic are we able to give birth within us to the Christ Astral.” “…the astral body is born from the same semen.”

The third part is the third serpent of fire and the third initiation: “When the third Serpent reaches the heart a most beautiful child, the Christ Astral is born.” “The supreme ceremony of the third initiation is received with the Christ Astral.”

The fourth part is the drama of the Christ, lived in the astral body: “To live the whole Drama of Christ in the astral world is doubtless something that cannot ever be forgotten.” “The Resurrection is not possible without having previously formed the stigmata of the Adorable in the astral body.”

The fifth part is what the Christ Astral gives, set beside the ghost the dead carry: “We can reach immortality in the astral world.” “ASTRAL CHRIST is a marvellous body.”

The last part is the three Christic vehicles together, the astral, the mind and the will: “We cannot accept clairvoyants who have not engendered the Christ Astral, Christ Mind and Christ Will.” “…these are solar bodies, the existential superior bodies of the Being.”

One passage from his early Zodiacal Course (1951) carries an editor’s note beneath it, pointing to his later teaching that the Kundalini awakens only through the sexual work of the couple. His words are printed as he wrote them.

IThe Body of Desire is not the Astral Body

These passages separate the cold, lunar body of desires that people carry from the astral body, and call the habit of naming the one for the other a grave error. The solar astral is not inherited but fabricated, and the lunar body is left to disintegrate.

A lot has been said about the astral body, but really the intellectual animal, falsely called man, still does not have an astral body. The intellectual animal only has a body of desires, a molecular body; that is all. Usually, this body is called the astral body, but really it is not the astral body. We need to create an astral body if what we really yearn for is the birth of Christ in our own heart.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Christmas, Desire and Will

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 Aquarius, Desire and Will

The Astral Body is a Body of an Electronic, Solar Nature. The Astral Solar Body has nothing vague, vaporous or subjective. The Astral Solar Body is a Body of Bones and Flesh; it is made out of the flesh from Paradise not from the flesh that comes from Adam. Ordinary human beings (except those very few rare cases) are always born with the famous Lunar Double and never with the Solar Astral Body.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Alchemy

The wretched intellectual beast possesses the molecular body or body of desires or lunar double. He does not have a Solar Astral Body. He must build the Solar Astral Body. Intellectual animals live inside their Physical Body; yet, during normal sleep and also after death, they live outside of it. Thus, when outside of their Physical Bodies, they wander around dressed with their Molecular Double. Pseudo-Esoteric and PseudoOccultist people, have named the Molecular Body, “Astral Body.” Nonetheless, such Molecular Body is not the Astral Body.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Alchemy, The Words He Uses

The substractuin of these three aspects of the soul are the Sephiroth; these are atomic. 1. NEPHESH: One must differentiate between the astral body and the lunar bodies. The latter are active during the night, and after death. These bodies have conventionally been called the astral body, but this is not correct. He who wants to enjoy the luxury of having this body must realise the work of the Maithuna, where H-SI-12 is fabricated. (H = hydrogen; SI = the musical note; 12 = the 12 laws) which vibrate in our organism with the musical scale. If the practice is intensive, it crystallises as the Solar Astral Body.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Laws of the Three and of the Seven

The Initiate must become a “Crocodile”; for this one must destroy the body of desire which is lunar and later ascend to the Lunar Heaven. To be able to destroy it one must submerge oneself, and this means a frightening descent through enormous sacrifice, leaving there the lunar body which disintegrates little by little. When the body of desire is disinte grated, the Initiate then leaves with his Solar Astral Body.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Entropy and Sacrifice, The Klipoth

In esoteric schools it is stated emphatically that we have a luminous Astral Body. This is very debatable because the Astral Body must be fabricated in the Ninth Sphere through the transmutations of H SI-12. What the average person possesses is the Body of Desire, which is con fused with the Astral Body. This is a grave error, a tremendous mistake, because the Body of Desire is not the Astral Body.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Desire and Will

Secondly, is the construction which follows destruction. That which we are now must be destroyed. We are all demons because we have the terrible demon Apopi of the Egyptian Mysteries. This is the Body of Desire which is mistaken for the Astral Body which one does not have, and which must be fabricated in the Forge of Cyclops; sex.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Desire and Will, The Three Traitors

3. N: Nitrogen. In Alchemy the letter “N” symbolises the authentic Solar Astral Body, so different from the Body of Desire. It is obvious that the legitimate Sidereal Body is the Nitrogen of Occult Chemistry.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

I initiated my work by disintegrating Judas, the Demon of Desire, the Theosophical Kama Rupa in the abyss of Selene. It is lamentable that many ignorant people confuse this first traitor with the sidereal or astral body that the Twice Born built in the Fiery Forge of Vulcan.

IIThe fabrication of an astral body is a luxury

Few have a true astral body, since no one is born with it except those who made it in earlier lives. Whoever wants the second birth must build the solar bodies, and only years of the Maithuna give the astral one.

The body that the legion of ‘I ’ utilises is a lunar body or molecular body. It is necessary for the Gnostic students not to confuse this lunar body with the Solar Body. The Solar Body is the astral body. Really, only those who have worked with the Maithuna for many years can possess the astral body.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Return and Reincarnation

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.

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

Master: With the greatest pleasure we will give an answer to our brother R. Certainly, the astral body or the “Kesdjan body” is a luxury that not all human beings can afford. No one is born with an astral body, except those who created it in previous lives.

The Fifth Gospel Pedagogy of Knowing How to Live Third Chamber Mexico City – 1974 also in The Keys of Astral Travel

There are also the people of the fifth level; they are few, but they exist. The men of the fifth level are those who were able to fabricate, for their personal use, an astral body. Undoubtedly, the fabrication of an astral body is a luxury that very few can afford. It is not necessary to possess an astral body in order to live. The physical body, as it is endowed with an organic vital base, clearly possesses in itself all the principles needed to exist.

IIIA mass of phantoms

What survives death in a person without the astral body is a crowd of egos wearing the look of a personality. He gives the case of a Gnostic friend found after death as only that, and sets out the kinds of Hanasmussen.

Four types of Hanasmussans exist: 1) Hanasmussans of a cretinous type, very decrepit, stupid and degenerate; 2) Hanasmussans who are strong, astute and perverse; 3) Hanasmussans with a double centre of gravity, but without an astral body; they only have a lunar body; 4) Hanasmussans with a double centre of gravity and with an astral body.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

Although that friend had known Gnosis, he had not achieved the fabrication of his astral body; now, all that I had before my eyes was a mass of phantoms, giving the impression of a personality in appearance. It is obvious that that individual had not received the sacrament of Baptism. In other words we shall say that he had not transmuted the pure waters of life into the wine of the alchemists.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973

That which continues beyond the sepulcher is the Ego, the sum of diverse brutal, animallike psychic aggregates. When I contemplated my friend in the story, with pain I was able to understand that his personality had been annihilated; all that I had before my eyes was a sum of grotesque animal-like figures, penetrating and interpenetrating each other mutually to give a false appearance of a sepulchral, cold and spectral personality. What had become of my friend? Where was he? Since he had not fabricated the astral body, it is obvious that he had ceased to exist; if my friend had fabricated an astral body by means of sexual transmutation, if he had really practiced sexual magic, it is clear that he would have fabricated the sidereal vehicle and he would then have been able to continue with his astral personality in the hypersensible regions of nature; unfortunately, this had not been the case.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Personality

There are four kinds of Hanasmussen. Namely: first, those who only possess physical bodies; they are people dedicated to evil. The Ego in them elaborates a certain substance that makes them Hanasmussen, usually sorcerers, people of Black Magic. Fortunately, these Hanasmussen are not immortal. Since they do not possess the Superior Existential Bodies of the Being, after death, what they have of Hanasmussen is lost. Those who have not even created an astral body, after death, are no more than a whole bunch of devils, a whole bunch of “I’s” that operate here and there; they operate freely, they move in all directions, they have no true reality, they are people who have not achieved immortality. When those Egos return, they create for themselves a new personality to exist.

IThe Astral Christ is born only with Sexual Magic

The Christ Astral is engendered as the physical body is, by the sexual union of man and woman, and the run from The Perfect Matrimony states it outright. Beside it stand the practice of invoking the Christ during Sexual Magic and the descent to the Ninth Sphere.

Just as the physical body is engendered though the sexual act, the astral body is also engendered through the sexual act. Just as the physical body is born, the astral body is born in the same way. Just as the child needs nourishment in order to grow tissue, the astral body also needs Hydrogen 24 as nourishment to be able to achieve its growth and development. The interior growth, the development of the internal bodies, the astral, the mental, etc, is a material process that is completely analogous to the growth of the physical body.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

A marvelous child germinates, is born within us by making the creative energy return inwards and upwards; a Christified Astral Body. This vehicle confers upon us immortality. This is our Crestos Mediator. With this vehicle we can reach the Father who is in secret. The Lord of all Perfection said, no one can reach the Father except through me.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

The astral ghost that mortals possess is nothing more than an out line of a man. It does not even have unity. This ghostly facade is a den of demons and of all kinds of filthy and abhorrent entities. Within this astral ghost lives the “I” (the Devil). This is an infernal legion. The “I” is Legion. Just as the body is composed of many atoms, so also the “I” is composed of millions of “I’s.” Diabolic intelligences, repugnant demons who quarrel amongst themselves. When a per son dies he becomes just that: Legion. The person himself becomes dust. Only “that” remains alive; the legion of “I’s”. Clairvoyants usually meet the disincarnated dressed differently and appearing simultaneously in different places. The person seems to have become many people is legion. Nevertheless, when we have given birth within us to the Christic astral body, we continue after death living in that sidereal body. Then we are really immortal. Those people who possess the Christic astral body find after death that they have the consciousness awake. Ordinary disincarnated people live after death with the consciousness asleep. Death is really a return to fetal conception. Death is the return to the seed. Everyone who dies returns to a new maternal womb totally unconscious, asleep.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Return and Reincarnation, The Many I’s

People do not even have the Soul incarnated. The Souls of people are disincarnated. The only thing people have incarnated is an Embryo of Soul. Evil people have not even incarnated this Embryo of Soul. Only by possessing the Christified astral body, can we incarnate Soul. Ordinary people are only the vehicle of the “I”. The name of each mortal is “legion”.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in The Human Soul

Only with Sexual Magic are we able to give birth within us to the Christ Astral. Temptation is Fire. The triumph over temptation is Light. Refrained desire makes the astral fluid rise toward the pineal gland and thus, within us the Adam Christ is born; the Superman.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

No human being is born of theory. Not even a simple microbe can be born of theories. No one is born through the nostrils, nor through the mouth. Every living being is born of sex. “As above so below”. If man is born of sex here in the physical world, it is logical that above, in the internal worlds, the process is analogous. Law is law and the law is fulfilled. The Christ Astral is born as the body of flesh and blood is born. That is sexual. Only with Sexual Magic between husband arid wives can one give birth to that marvelous body. We can say the same of the Mental and the Causal. We need to engender those internal bodies and that is only possible with sexual contact because, as above so below arid, as below so above. No celibate can marry his feminine physical impulse with the masculine one of his internal Soul because no celibate can incarnate his Soul. To incarnate the Soul we must engender the internal bodies, and only through the sexual union of man and woman can they be engendered. No single man or any single woman can engender or conceive. The two poles are necessary to create. That is life.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Chastity, The Human Soul, The Law of Correspondence, The Law of Polarities

A practice

It is necessary to invoke the forces of the Holy Spirit during Sexual Magic. It is urgent to call the forces of the Christ so that they give rise to the birth of the Christ Astral in the depths of our interior universe. It is indispensable to ask the forces of the Father for assistance with our mind. We need to engender the Christ Mind. The physical, astral and mental vehicles must become fine instruments of the Spirit.

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

If sexual union of the Phallus and the Uterus is always necessary in order to engender a Physical Body then, it is also absolutely logical to state that the Sexual Act is indispensably necessary in order to engender the Solar Astral Body.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Alchemy, The Law of Correspondence

When the human being accomplishes with the following formula, which is to introduce the virile member into the feminine vagina, and to withdraw without spilling the semen (without reaching the orgasm), then, the solar atoms multiply in an extraordinary way and return into the Astral body. Hence, they fill the Astral body with light and solar fire. Only in such a way can the Buddha, the christie consciousness, express itself through the Astral body. Finally, the soul and the Intimate become united forever, thus bringing the final liberation.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

He who engenders the Astral Christ can immortalize himself in such a body. The Astral Christ is born only with Sexual Magic. Those people who in past reincarnations begot the Astral Christ retain the memory of their past lives and know how to enter and leave the body at will. Such people are Immortal.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah also in Memory, Return and Reincarnation

If one wants to have the right to live on any planet of the solar system, to travel around in the worlds that constitute this solar system, well, he has to earn it. To that end he would need to create the Superior Existential Bodies of the Being, that is, to create the planetary bodies within himself. How? One needs to fabricate an astral body. When one fabricates an astral body, he knows that he has it because he can use it, in the same way that he can use his hands, his feet. But to fabricate an astral body it is absolutely necessary to go down to the Ninth Sphere. What is the Ninth Sphere?

IIThe astral body is born from the same semen

The astral body comes from the same seed as the physical; only the procedure differs. Cells saturated with sexual hydrogen Si-12 crystallise into its form.

Truly, the astral body is born from the same semen, from the same substance, from the same seed that gives origin to the physical body; the only thing that differs is the process. The intimate base, the very life of the living cell, is saturated with Hydrogen Si 12, and then when all the organic cells are totally saturated and impregnated with this sexual hydrogen, then this substance crystallises into the splendid form of the astral body. This is what is known in alchemy as the transmutation of lead into gold. Really, only the people who have an astral body live consciously in the internal worlds, during the sleep of the physical body and after death.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

The Sexual Hydrogen T1-12 is very abundant in the Semen; this type of Hydrogen crystallizes into new human bodies and when it is wisely transmuted, it takes form within the Astral Body.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Alchemy

To transmute this portentous Hydrogen, in order to give to it an intelligent crystallisation on a second superior octave actually signifies to create a new life within the existing organism, to give an evident form to the “Astral Body or Sidereal Body of the Alchemists and Kabbalists.” The Master ‘G’. stated: “You must understand that the Astral Body is born from the same material, from the same substance, from the same matter from where the physical body is born. The only thing which is different is the procedure.”

My Return to Tibet, 1969

To fabricate the astral body, it is necessary to inevitably transmute the Exioehary –that is, the sacred sperm– into creative energy. Obviously, such energy in itself is the famous Sexual Hydrogen Si-12. When this hydrogen crystallizes in our cells and in the interior of our organism, it comes to take the marvelous and extraordinary figure of the astral body.

IIIThe third metal that we must transmute is the Astral body

In the language of alchemy the astral body is the third metal, from which a Child of Gold, Horus, is drawn. Turning the physical body into the astral is the making of gold from lead, and its raw material is sexual hydrogen.

28. The third metal that we must transmute is the Astral body.

Treatise of Sexual Alchemy, 1954

29. We perform this work with the third serpent that belongs to the Astral body. 30. We extract a superior Astral body, which is the Intimate Christ, from the Astral body. 31. This Child of Gold is Horus.

Treatise of Sexual Alchemy, 1954

17. The perfect tincture of the Sun is the Kundalini of the Astral body.

Treatise of Sexual Alchemy, 1954

12. We can transmute our Astral body or Cosmic Chrestos into a perfect metal with the Solar tincture.

Treatise of Sexual Alchemy, 1954

The union of the Sexual Hydrogens 11-12 (from a Male and Female and everything that accompany these two unities) allows us to pass the Sexual Hydrogen into another Second Superior Octave, whose outcome is the Crystallization of the mentioned Hydrogen into the marvelous form that is the Astral Body. Such Body of Perfection is born of the same material, of the same substance, of the same Matter from which the Physical Body is born. Indeed, this is what the transmutation of Lead into Gold is; in other words, the transmutation of the Physical Body into the Astral Body.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Alchemy

How beautiful the astral body appeared to me! (the splendid result of very ancient transmutations of the libido).

The Three Mountains, 1972

The “raw material for the Great Work”, the alchemical element by means of which we can fabricate the astral body, is Sexual Hydrogen Si-125.

The Three Mountains, 1972

IVThe third octave allows us to engender the genuine Astral Body

The Maithuna gives the shock that carries hydrogen Si-12 into a higher octave, where it takes the form of the solar astral body. Once the genuine astral is engendered, the old astral ghost becomes an empty shell, and the hydrogen 24 that feeds the new body is wasted by rage and needless emotion.

The Maithuna (Sexual Magic) produces a special shock, which permits sexual hydrogen SI-12 to pass to a second musical octave, DO-RE-MI-FA-SOL-LA-SI. The result of this is a crystallization of sexual hydrogen SI-12 into the extraordinary form of the Astral Body. We call this the transmutation of lead into gold. The transmutation of flesh and blood into the Astral Body is urgent A second shock by means of the Maithuna (Sexual Magic) allows the sexual hydrogen SI-12 to pass to a third musical octave, DO-RE MI-FA-SOL-LA-SI, whose result is the crystallization of sexual hydrogen S1-12 into the wonderful form of the Mental Body (body of paradise).

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in The Laws of the Three and of the Seven

The Astral Body is also the result of that special act, the Maithuna (union of phallus and uterus without spilling the semen). The Astral Body is a body of flesh and bone; however, that flesh does not come from Adam, but is the product of sexual hydrogen SI12. The true Mental Body is the product of the Maithuna (Sexual Magic) and sexual hydrogen SI-12. This is the body of paradise, a body of perfection, a body of flesh and bone, but flesh that does not come from Adam.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

It is obvious that based on incessant sexual transmutations, we can perform the condensation of the hydrogen of sex into the splendid and marvelous form of the Astral Solar Body.

Runic Magic, 1969

(After the note SI comes DO, which corresponds to another musical scale and a higher octave.) SI can be elevated to a higher musical octave by restraining the sexual impulse and ejaculation. This is how H-SI-12 passes to a second octave, giving rise to the Solar Astral Body. Through a third shock the hydrogen will pass to a third octave which will give rise to the Solar Mental Body. A fourth octave gives birth to the Body of Conscious Will. All this work is with the Maithuna. Once in possession of these 4 vehicles, our Divine Being will enter through the pineal gland and we will then attain the Second Birth and become True Men. Whilst we have the lunar animal bodies we are intellectual animals and are only a chrysalis which could be transformed into a Celestial Butterfly this is attained with super-efforts.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Christ Will, The Laws of the Three and of the Seven, The Three Factors

The nutriment of the physical body is in H-48 (48 laws). If we conserve this hydrogen it can be transformed into H-24 (24 laws) which serves as nourishment for the Solar Astral Body. This hydrogen (24) is wasted with excessive work, futile efforts, desires, emotions, rages.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Anger, The Laws of the Three and of the Seven

When septenary man sexually joins with septenary woman, a mathematical sum is formed that yields as a result the fourteenth Arcanum of the Tarot. It is not superfluous to affirm in passing, that man has seven principles, woman the same. Sex is the most important and fastest acting center in the human being. The process of creating a new being is accomplished within the Law of the Musical Octaves. The seven notes of the musical scale are the foundation of all creation. If we transmute the creative energy, we initiate a new octave in the etheric world, the result of which is the birth of the Soma Puchicon (the Wedding Garment of the Soul). With this vehicle we can consciously enter all the realms of the Kingdom. The third octave allows us to engender the genuine Astral Body, the Astral Christ. Upon arriving at these heights, the old astral ghost is reduced to an empty shell that continues disintegrating little by little. The fourth octave permits us to beget the Christ Mind; this vehicle grants us true wisdom and unified thinking. Only those who have engendered the Christ Mind have the right to say, “I have a Mental Body.” One’s present mental body is merely a ghostly facade. Truly this mental ghost becomes a hollow shell when the true mind is born. It then disintegrates and is reduced to cosmic dust. The fifth musical octave engenders the authentic Causal Body. Upon reaching these heights, we incarnate the Soul; we then now have true existence. Before this moment we do not have real existence.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah also in The Human Soul, The Laws of the Three and of the Seven

The excess of that quicksilver or vitriol crystallizes, by means of the law of the octaves, on a superior octave in the marvelous and extraordinary form of the astral body. When someone possesses an astral body, he can travel around with that body in all the planets of the solar system, and has the right to travel outside planet Earth.

VA precious organism regulated by twenty-four cosmic laws

Once born, the astral body must be fed with hydrogen 24, made from the surplus of 48 and from sensory impressions rightly transmuted. Possessing it moves a person out of the world of forty-eight laws into that of twenty-four, a first step toward the Absolute.

It is urgent to know that the nourishment for the astral body is fabricated by the human organism, which is sustained with Hydrogen 48. But, the surplus of this hydrogen is converted into Hydrogen 24, which nourishes the astral body.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

The Absolute creates its cosmic plan in the world of Three Laws, and then everything continues mechanically. We are separated from the Absolute by 48 Mechanical Laws that make life frighteningly mechanical and terribly tedious for us. If we fabricate a true astral body (this is not to be confused with the body of desires which Max Heindel speaks of), we are freed from half of these laws, and we remain subject to the 24 orders of laws that wisely govern the planetary world. To fabricate a solar body, that is to say, an authentic astral body, means in fact to be one step closer to the Absolute.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in The Laws of the Three and of the Seven

If, after having fabricated the astral body, we give ourselves the luxury of fabricating the mental body (this is not to be confused with the mind ordinarily used by the living and the dead, which is of an animal-lunar type), we take another great step headed for the Absolute, and we are then subject to 12 solar laws. If we fabricate the body of Conscious Will, or the causal body (this is not to be confused with the animic essence deposited inside of the lunar mind), we are then liberated from these 12 solar laws and we then remain subject to the 6 orders of cosmic Laws. This would signify taking a third step towards the Absolute.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Christ Will, The Laws of the Three and of the Seven

The astral body, in itself, is a precious organism regulated by twenty-four cosmic laws. Whoever has the luxury of creating for himself the sidereal vehicle, needs to nourish it. It is possible to nourish that vehicle only through the transmutation of Hydrogen-48. All external sensory impressions, if properly transmuted by us, become Hydrogen-24, which serves to nourish the astral body. The external sensory impressions are Hydrogen-48, and we have already explained this before. One can transmute the Hydrogen-48 into 24. When one learns to control purely mechanical reactions, one transmutes 48 into 24.

Part Three — The third serpent of fire

10 passages

IThe third serpent corresponds to the astral body

Each serpent of fire belongs to one body, and the third belongs to the astral, opening all its chakras as it climbs the astral medulla through hard temptations. In the sexual union the wheels of that body are made to turn; the Masters' astral bodies are igneous, and with the fire at the pulmonary chakras come the igneous wings.

The second serpent belongs to the etheric body and takes us to the second initiation of greater mysteries, which confers upon us the power to travel in the etheric body or Somapuchicon which Max Heindel talks to us about. The third serpent corresponds to the astral body, and totally opens for us all the “chakras”, wheels or discs of the astral body, and corresponds to the third of greater mysteries.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in Scorpio

From the Astral through the snowy Kundalini of that vehicle, we extract the conscious soul. From the mental body through its respective Kundalini, we extract a spiritual summary of the astral body. From the causal or will body we extract a spiritual tablet, or human soul. The other two serpents take us to the ineffable bliss of Nirvana. These are the seven degrees of the power of fire. Only the terror of love and law reign throughout these seven portals.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in Scorpio, The Human Soul

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 also in Aquarius

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 Aquarius, 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 Aquarius, 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 also in Aquarius

Living dead are all those that have not as yet fused with the Intimate. We, the “Masters” are like flames of ardent fire, and our astral bodies are igneous…

Today the 27th I have been meditating also on the igneous wings. I used to believe that the wings of angels existed in pictures only, but my ideas have already changed before the actual facts of the astral world. Certainly, when the sacred fire of the astral body has reached the vertebrae or tubes of the astral body related to the pulmonary chakras, the “Initiate” receives the “igneous wings”; he actually receives a pair of small wings that characterise him as an Angel. Then special teachings are given to the adept related to the functioning and movement of the astral body.

Secret Notes of a Guru, 1952 also in The Chakras

6. When the Master has made his third serpent reach the frontal chakra of his astral body, he then becomes clairvoyant in the Astral world.

Igneous Rose, 1954 also in Clairvoyance, The Chakras

Jesus made these lotus flowers turn during sexual magic. During those instants, the man and the woman sexually united, are full of electricity and cosmic fire. That is the precise instant to awaken the Kundalini and to make the chakras, discs, or magnetic wheels of the astral body, turn. With the sexual energy we can awaken all the powers of the astral body. With the sexual energy, we become Angels.

IIA most beautiful child, the Christ Astral

The account of Master Jesus follows the third serpent from the spinal channel to the heart, where his astral body passed through death, resurrection and ascension. In the neophyte the same arrival at the heart brings the Christ Astral to birth as a child.

After having finished his work with the second serpent, the Master began his work with the third serpent of fire, which belongs to the astral body. The work with each of these serpents is very long and difficult. The Kundalini has to rise slowly through the central channel of the spinal column. That work is slow and laborious.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

To earn a single vertebra is a heroic achievement. The third serpent opens the chakras of the astral body, and ascends through the central channel of the spinal column of the astral body. This serpent of fire opens the seven churches of the astral body. In this manner, the Master’s astral body was totally transformed. The third serpent reaches the heart, following a secret path starting from between the eyebrows to the third holy center of the heart; the heart has seven centers. In this secret path starting from between the eyebrows to the heart, there are seven terrible chambers. All of this is the terror of love and the law. When the third serpent opens the Church of Thyatira in the astral body, the initiate remains endowed with two small igneous wings. These wings confer upon us the power to instantly penetrate any plane of cosmic consciousness.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in The Chakras

When the third serpent reached the heart, Master Jesus entered a great luminous room of the temple, and he walked in it full of glory. The Master shone full of majesty and power. The astral body of Master Jesus underwent the initiatic process of death, resurrection arid ascension.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in The Intimate Christ, The Resurrection and Easter — There are also initiatic resurrections

When the third Serpent reaches the heart a most beautiful child, the Christ Astral is born. The result of all this is initiation. In the astral body, the neophyte has to go through the entire drama of the Passion of Christ. He has to be crucified, die, be buried. He has to resurrect and must also descend to the abyss and remain there for forty days before the Ascension.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in INRI and the Cross, The Intimate Christ, The Resurrection and Easter — There are also initiatic resurrections

The supreme ceremony of the third initiation is received with the Christ Astral. Upon the altar appears Sanät Kumara the Ancient of the Days, to confer upon us the initiation. Everyone who achieves the third Initiation of Major Mysteries receives the Holy Spirit. It is necessary to know how to love woman to attain this initiation. The sexual union should be full of immense love. The phallus should always enter the vulva very gently, in order not to harm the organs of the woman. Each kiss, each word, each caress should be totally free of desire. Animal desire is a very grave obstacle to initiation.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in The Words He Uses

The First Initiation of Fire occurs when the Serpent of the Physical Body makes contact with the Atom of the Father at the Magnetic Field located in the root of the Nose. The Second Initiation of Fire occurs when the Serpent of the Vital Body makes contact with the Atom of the Father at the Magnetic Field located in the root of the Nose. The Third Initiation of Fire occurs when the Serpent of the Astral Body reaches the Third Chamber of the Heart, after having passed through the Amrita Nadi.

IIIIn the third Initiation of fire, the Solar Astral Body is born

The third initiation of Major Mysteries is the one in which the solar astral body is born. Sanat Kumara confers it, and the astral body then shines like a sun with all its powers active.

“Juan” is a very faithful disciple, and he listens to me with sincere devotion. Our astral body is our “Crestos”, and when the third degree of the power of fire, or kundalini of the astral body, has reached the pineal gland, then the astral body becomes a shining sun, and all the chakras shine with an indescribable brilliance. The astral body is then made to the image and likeness of the divine Rabbi of Galilee; it is christified and given the stigmata; it acquires the ancient powers that it had in Eden (resuscitates). This is the third initiation of major mysteries, and because of it Christ and the two witnesses of the Apocalypse were raised from the dead at the third day. With respect to the temple, this is very interesting: the Initiate certainly builds a temple in the astral plane for the Intimate to officiate. And this temple is finished on the third day, which is when the Initiate has already received the third Initiation of major mysteries.

Secret Notes of a Guru, 1952 also in The Resurrection and Easter — Periods of esoteric work before attaining the Resurrection

When our Crestos resuscitates with the third Initiation of major mysteries, we become omniscient and omnipotent, and all the luminous powers of the astral body go into full activity.

Third Initiation. The chakras of the Astral body are opened and the Christ Astral is born as a beautiful child.

Is the thinking, emotional Soul, which is located within the lunar bodies of desire. 3. NESHAMAH: That which there is of the Soul located within the previously mentioned principles is submitted to very difficult tests. When the Initiate triumphs he later ascends to the Causal world to meet with Sanat Kumara, who is a Venerable Elder mentioned in very ancient religions. He is one of the Four Thrones about whom the Bible speaks: three have gone; only one remains. He wields the rod of Aaron, the sceptre of Kings, is ineffable, has a relationship with Sattwa, Rayas and Tamas, the three Gunas in equilibrium. Sanat Kumara gives the Esoteric Initiation of the Solar Astral Body.

Passion, death, burial, resurrection and transfiguration are lived again in the astral world by whoever passes the third initiation of fire. The events open one after another as the third degree of fire develops in that body.

Sodom is fornication by which our Christ, the “Astral” is crucified, and the great city is Babylon the majestic, the corrupted civilisation in which we live.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in The Intimate Christ

There are also initiatic resurrections. The third Initiation of Fire signifies the resurrection in the astral world. Everyone who passes through the third Initiation of Fire, has to live the drama of the Christ in the astral world; life, passion, death and resurrection. REINCARNATION OF THE PERSONALITY The personality is time. The personality lives in its own time and does not reincarnate. After death the personality also goes to the grave. For the personality there are no tomorrows. The personality lives in the cemetery wanders about the cemetery or goes down into its grave. It is neither the astral body nor the etheric double. It is not the Soul. It is time. It is energetic and it disintegrates very slowly. The personality can never reincarnate. It does not ever reincarnate. There are no tomorrows for the human personality.

IIThe five Christic stigmata in the astral body

The christified astral body carries the wound in the side, the marks in hands and feet, the flagellation and the crown of thorns. Without these stigmata, he writes, there is no resurrection.

The astral body of a christified person is a beauty to behold: the wound at the side is deep and profound, and his stigmata in the hands and feet, the places of flagellation, and crown of thorns, give the astral body that divine beauty of the martyr of Golgotha. The kundalini fire has to climb through 33 tubes related to 33 sacred chambers of the astral world.

Secret Notes of a Guru, 1952 also in INRI and the Cross

<<Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the praetorium, and they gathered the whole battalion before him. And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe upon him (the Philosophical Stone is first black, then white and finally red), and plaiting a crown of thorns they put it on his head (the traditional painful diadem on every Christified astral body), and put a reed in his right hand (like the Wand of Aaron or the Rod of the Patriarchs, living symbol of the spine). And kneeling before him they mocked him saying, "Hail, King of the Jews !'' And they spat upon him, and took the reed and struck him on the head. And when they had mocked him (because such is this path of the sex), they stripped him of the robe (because they, the sinister ones, never want the Initiate to dress in the purple of his Intimate Logoi), and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

IIIA ceremony of blood; a blood pact

At the Last Supper the apostles' blood was mixed with that of the Adorable, and their astral bodies were joined to his. The last passage adds that the Lord, once incarnated, shines within the astral body.

In this way the pact was signed. Every pact is signed in blood. The astral of the Christ Jesus remained associated, united with his disciples and with the whole of mankind through the pact of blood. The Adorable is the Saviour of the World. This ceremony of blood is as ancient as the Infinite. All the great Avatars have verified it since ancient times. The Great Lord of Atlantis also celebrated the Last Supper with his disciples. This ceremony of blood was not improvised by the Divine Master. This is a very ancient, archaic ceremony, the blood ceremony of the Great Avatars.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in The Intimate Christ, The Last Supper and the Gnostic Unction

This is a ceremony of blood; a blood pact. Each one of the Apostles carried some of his blood in a vessel and then mixed it with the Royal Blood of the Adorable in the Chalice of the Last Supper (the Holy Grail). In this way the astral bodies of the Apostles are united with the astral of Christ through the pact of Blood. The Apostles drank of the blood contained in the Chalice, Jesus also drank.

IPeople who possess this body are truly immortal

Whoever fabricates the astral body is immortal in the world of twenty-four laws and keeps consciousness after death, with a personality that endures there. Those who possess the Astral Christ are the happier in Paradise.

The EGOS of the essences remain meanwhile in the doorway of mystery, awaiting the new reincarnation. In the absence of the EGO the essences develop happily in Paradise. These beings use the Molecular Body. Those who possess the Astral Christ shine with glory and are even happier in Paradise. This happiness lies only in the sexual seed, in a germinal state. But it germinates and is born, when the initiate knows the mysteries of sex. The ASTRAL CHRIST is a marvellous body. People who possess this body are truly immortal, since they never lose their Consciousness.

Solar Astral Body - complete consciousness.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

The first thing which must be fabricated in the Forge of Cyclops is the true Astral Body, thus making us immortal in the world of 24 laws. Fol lowing this we need to fabricate the Solar Mental ruled by 12 laws. He who fabricates it is immortal in the world of 12 laws. Following this we have to fabricate the Body of Conscious Will, and one becomes immortal in the world of 6 laws.

We can reach immortality in the astral world. However this is only possible by fabricating the eidolon (astral body).

Diverse authors of a pseudo esotericist and pseudo occultist type make the mistake of confusing the Ego with the astral body.

But another thing is a true Initiate. If a man creates, for example, an astral body, if he has the luxury of creating it, he unquestionably creates a personality as well, and after death he finds his immortal personality in the astral world.

IICompare them with the astral and mental vehicles used by deceased persons

The vehicles of the dead and of most occultists are set beside the Christ Astral and the Christ Mind, which alone clothe the superior emotion and the superior mind. In the alchemical retort the Astral Christ appears from inside the astral ghost.

Upon arriving at this part of work, the venerable matter has become a most beautiful child radiating with beauty: the Soma Puchicon, the Body of Gold. With this precious vehicle we can consciously visit all the realms of the Kingdom. This Alchemical alloy now yields new properties, and then from inside the astral ghost appears the Astral Christ—the most precious child who grants us immortality. When this second body has been formed, the problem then comes of integrally understanding all of its powers and acquiring the knowledge for its use. This is only possible by giving Christic intelligence to this alloy. The precious vehicle of the Christ Mind happily rises in the Retort of the laboratory, emerging from inside the mental ghost.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah

Man has two centers that he still does not use—his Superior Mind and Superior Emotion. These are his two divine centers; the true instruments of the eternal and imperishable man with Soul. With these two superior centers we can profoundly study the great mysteries of life of death. We have been told that with these two superior centers we can penetrate into the Great Reality that is found far beyond time and eternity.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah also in The Centres of the Human Machine, The Mind

Whoever believes that he now uses these two centers, without having engendered the vehicle of the Christ Mind and the vehicle of the Christ Astral, is totally mistaken. It is necessary to beget these two vehicles in order to clothe the Superior Mind and the Superior Emotion. Only with the Arcanum A.Z.F. is it possible to engender these two superior vehicles. In the Third Initiation of Major Mysteries the Christ Astral is born. In the Fourth Initiation of Major Mysteries the Christ Mind is born. The astral and mental bodies, studied thoroughly by all occultists and about which Theosophy speaks a great deal, are but mere miserable specters of death that must be fulminated by the terrible thunderbolt of Cosmic Justice. The Tower of Babel shall thus fall, and Satan shall tumble to the Abyss. Immortality Those who possess the bodies of the Christ Astral and the Christ Mind, become absolutely immortal. When we study these Christic vehicles and compare them with the astral and mental vehicles used by deceased persons, we find the following differences: Christ Astral: It is marvelously resplendent. Astral of Death: It does not shine; it is but only a fatal shadow. Christ Mind: It shines gloriously. Mental of Death: It does not shine. Christ Astral: It is purified of passions. Astral of Death: It is the vehicle of animal passions. Christ Mind: It has a divine angelic figure. Mental of Death: It has an animal figure. Christ Astral: It has the Kundalini and the chakras awakened. Astral of Death: It does not have the Kundalini awakened, and if perhaps by means of some kind of esoteric discipline it has the chakras awakened, they shine like will-o’-the-wisps amongst the darkness of the abyss. Summary: The Christic man is immortal; the worldly man is not immortal. The Christic man shines like the Sun. The earthly man is a shadow. The Christic man is a triumphant being.

IIIHe knows that he has it because he can use it

The man of level five travels with his astral body as surely as he moves his hands, through the supra-sensible worlds and as far as Sirius. Its blood is the Hanbledzoin, and the FARAON key closes on how easily those who already have it leave the body.

A practice

The key to go into astral is very simple. It is sufficient to go to sleep mentally pronouncing the powerful mantram FARAON. This mantram is divided into three syllables; FA-RA-ON. When the devotee finds he is in that state of transition which exists between vigil and sleep, he will go within : by means of conscious self-reflection and then will gently get up from his bed, completely identified with his light and fluid Spirit, in the astral body every devotee can attend the Pretor. People, who have not yet engendered the Christ Astral, suffer a great deal because they are unable to learn to go into astral, other than with many hardships and much work. Those who have engendered the Christ Astral in past reincarnations, leave the physical body with great ease. KEY TO TAKE THE PHYSICAL BODY INTO A STATE OF JINAS The disciple will concentrate on the Master Oguara. The disciple should fall asleep reciting this prayer: “I believe in Christ, I believe in Oguara, Bãbãji, Mãtãji and the Jinas Masters. Take me out of my bed with the physical body. Take me to the Gnostic Church with my physical body in the state of Jinas.”

The solar bodies are living, radiant, sublime flames. Remember that angels, archangels, masters, etc., use solar bodies. The authentic Astral Solar Body is a vehicle of flesh and bone, but not the flesh of Adam it is a body of incalculable beauty and supreme happiness.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

With the Solar Astral we are able to move through the Milky Way to the central Sun, Sirius. It is forbidden to us to go beyond the Milky Way because in the other galaxies different types of Cosmic Laws exist which are unknown to the inhabitants of this galaxy. On Sirius there is a great Temple where the great Masters of this galaxy receive an Initiation. The disciples of the God Sirius are Gnostic Rosicrucians. The true Rose Cross is in the Superior Worlds. These disciples utilise the Holy Grail upon their capuches. They also celebrate the Drama of Christ because this is a Cosmic Drama.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Holy Grail, The Keys of Astral Travel

Once that body is forged, formed, we will be able to travel with it consciously and positively. One knows he has an organ when he uses it. We know that we have hands and arms because we move them; we know that we have feet because we walk with them; this is obvious. So also, when one has the luxury of fabricating his astral body, he knows that he has it because he can use it, because he can move with that body in a positive, dynamic way.

The Fifth Gospel Psychic Associations that Lead to Awakening Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975

The Hanbledzoïn of the Being is elaborated with the magnetic vibrations that come from the planers of the solar system. Such magnetic vibrations are assimilated by us through the breath and through the pores; they undergo inside our interior different combinations until finally they become the famous Hanbledzoïn of the Being, the very blood of the astral body, that blood which circulates through the veins of the mentioned sidereal vehicle. But, as I said, the astral body has to be fabricated first.

ITo engender the Christ Astral, Christ Mind and Christ Causal

Christ Astral, Christ Mind and Christ Will are engendered together on one path, and no school or yoga replaces Sexual Magic for them. Without these vehicles the Soul is not incarnated, and clairvoyance sees only its own beliefs.

Do you want power? You need to have the vehicles where the powers develop. The astral, mental and causal ghosts develop the powers of a phantasm, that's all. You need the Christic powers. In what vehicle are you going to develop them? Have you not acquired the Astral Christ? Have you not the Mental Christ? Do you not enjoy the body of Christ Will?

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Christ Will

These things are very difficult for people. Rare is the one who wishes to die, that is to say, to disintegrate ones beloved ‘I.’ Rare is the one who truly resolves to accomplish the sexual connection without ejaculation of the semen, with the aim of fabricating a genuine astral body, an authentic mental body, and a true causal body or body of Conscious Will.

The rational homunculus mistakenly called man still does not have the authentic astral, mental and causal vehicles. In reality he is only a ghost. It is necessary to practice Sexual Magic, to live the Path of the Perfect Matrimony, to engender the Christ Astral, Christ Mind and Christ Causal.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

This is the Path of Initiation. By this path we reach the incarnation of the Word. We can be Rosicrucian, Theosophical, or Spiritualist students. We can practice yoga (and there is no doubt that in all this there are marvelous works and magnificent esoteric practices), but if we do not practice Sexual Magic, neither will we engender the Christ Astral, nor the Christ Mind, nor the Christ Will. Without Sexual Magic we cannot be born again. Practice what you wish, study in the school that you most enjoy, pray in the temple that pleases you most, but practice Sexual Magic. Live the Path of the Perfect Matrimony. We are not against any holy religion, nor against any school, order or sect. All those sacred institutions are necessary, but we advise you to live the Path of the Perfect Matrimony. The Perfect Matrimony is not opposed to religious life, or to esoteric practices of holy yoga. The Gnostic movement is made up of people from all religions, schools, lodges, sects, orders etc., etc.

We frankly cannot accept clairvoyants who have not awakened consciousness. We cannot accept clairvoyants who have not engendered the Christ Astral, Christ Mind and Christ Will. Clairvoyants who have neither awakened consciousness nor possess their Christic vehicles only see their own beliefs and concepts in the internal worlds. In short they are of no use.

The Ninth Sphere is definitive for the aspirant to realisation. It is impossible to selfrealise intimately, without having incarnated the Soul. No one can incarnate the Soul if he has not engendered the Christ-Astral, the Christ-Mind and the Christ-Will. The present internal vehicles of man referred to by theosophy, are only simple mental forms that everyone must dissolve when they try to achieve intimate self-realisation.

IIWhen the superior emotion is invested with the Christ Astral

The superior emotion is clothed by the Christ Astral and the superior mind by the Christ Mind, and the "I" controls neither. Built with the serpent of the astral body, the I-Christ replaces the old astral and opens the way to the mysteries of the mind.

364. The Mysteries of the fire are known only by entering through the door of Eden. 365. It is completely impossible to enter into the great mysteries of the mind without previously forming the I-Christ within our astral body (read our book The Seven Words).

Christ Will, 1959 also in The Intimate Christ

The “I” exerts control over the five inferior centers of the human machine. These five centers are: intellect, movement, emotion, instinct and sex. The two centers of the human machine that correspond to the Christ Consciousness are known in occultism as the Christ Mind and the Christ Astral. These two superior centers cannot be controlled by the “I”. Unfortunately, the superior mind and We can be assured that the past conditions our present life. We can affirm that Satan is time. We can say without fear of making a mistake, that time cannot free us from this valley of tears, because time is Satanic. We have to learn how to live from moment to moment. Life is an eternal now, an eternal present. Satan was the creator of time. Those who think to liberate themselves in a distant future, within a few million years, with the passing of time and the ages, are sure candidates for the abyss and the second death because time is of Satan. Time liberates no one. Satan enslaves. Satan does not liberate. We need to liberate ourselves right now. We need to live from instant to instant. Every human being has seven basic, fundamental centers. Let us see: superior emotion does not yet have these two precious Christic vehicles at their disposal. When the superior mind is clothed with the Christ Mind and when the superior emotion is invested with the Christ Astral, really we are elevated to the state of the true human being. Everyone who wishes to dissolve the “I” should study it’s functions in the five inferior centers. We should not condemn the defects; neither should we justify them. The important thing is to comprehend them. It is urgent to comprehend the actions and reactions of the human machine. Each one of these five inferior centers has a set of very complicated actions and reactions. The “I” works with each of these five inferior centers, and comprehending deeply the whole mechanism of each of these centers, we are on the way to dissolving the “I”. In everyday life two people react differently to the same event. What is agreeable for one person can be disagreeable for another. Many times the difference is that one person can judge and see with the mind, and the other’s emotions are touched. We should learn to differentiate between mind and emotion. The mind is one thing and emotion, another. In the mind there is a whole set of actions and reactions that must be comprehended. In the feelings there are attachments that should be crucified, emotions that should be carefully studied and in general a whole mechanism of actions and reactions that are easily confused with the activities of the mind.

How this was made. All fifty-two books were extracted (73,105 paragraphs, 2,157,671 words) and swept on his words for it: the Christ Astral, the Astral Christ and the christified astral; the astral body made solar, of gold, born, created or transmuted, the third serpent and the third initiation, the sexual hydrogen and the octaves; the Christ and the astral body in one sentence; the emotional body beside the Christ; and the Christ Mind and Christ Will wherever the astral stands with them. The paragraph either side of a core paragraph was taken where his sentence ran across, and the whole of his comparison of the Christ Astral with the astral of the dead was added. That returned 248 candidate paragraphs in 34 books. Every candidate was read twice, by independent readers working from a written brief. The two passes agreed on whether to print 97.2% of the time and on the class 94.0%, and a third reader, who saw neither verdict, settled the 7 disagreements. 130 were judged printable. 13 of them were set aside as the same teaching, kept where it stands in another of his books, and 4 were joined into the passage before them, where his sentence ran across several short paragraphs, so 113 passages are printed here. The rest are recorded with the reason each was set aside.

What was set aside. 6 were greetings, dates, editors’ notes or narrative, 12 were false friends (“astral” in another sense, as the astral signature of the fire), 24 named the subject only in passing, 15 belonged to another built work, and 10 were neighbours on another subject. 11 more were judged and not printed, and 47 were judged the second halves of sentences begun in the paragraph before (seven of them the lines of the comparison, added by the editor).

No sentence of his is cut in half. Each range was extended against the corpus until his sentence closed, a passage that turned out to be the second half of the one before it was absorbed into it, and 31 ranges run over more than one paragraph.

69 passages also stand in a finished work, and every one is marked where it stands, the most in The Intimate Christ (12) and The Laws of the Three and of the Seven (9). The editor ruled that this work prints in full and that shared passages print here too. An overlap is allowed wherever the teaching needs it. What is not allowed is an overlap a reader cannot see.

Checked against the source. Every passage was proved word for word against the raw extraction of its own book, and the printed text against the paragraphs it joins, with no failures. Three faults of the scan are mended, each a word the scan split or ran together (“Rosicrucia ns”, “man tram”, “will-o’-thewisps”).

A work of The Christ, the tenth after The Intimate Christ, The Solar Logos, Christ Mind, The Holy Grail, Christmas, INRI and the Cross, The Resurrection and Easter, The Last Supper and the Gnostic Unction and Christ Will.
