Entropy and Sacrifice

And what can I tell you about entropy? It’s something that’s in plain sight. If you put a pot of hot water next to a pot filled with cold water, you will see how entropy precipitates. There’s an exchange of the heat and the cold, and finally entropy triumphs and both are equalized.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 121 — Faith, the Law of Entropy, the Essence, and Types of Hanasmussen also in The Law of Entropy

Entropy is an involutive, descending law of an equalizing and degenerating character. Why does it mean transformation in Greek? Well, it’s correct! It has another meaning—the Law of Entropy cannot be overcome without transformation; that’s obvious. But we in the West (strictly speaking, in the modern world) don’t use the word transformation for entropy. We say it must be overcome with transformation, and we know that transformation only takes place through the sacrifice of an inferior force for the sake of a superior one.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 121 — Faith, the Law of Entropy, the Essence, and Types of Hanasmussen also in The Law of Entropy

Well, I don't like to be dividing words so much. But in any case, it’s a Greek word that means transformation. In Greek, it means transformation.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 121 — Faith, the Law of Entropy, the Essence, and Types of Hanasmussen also in The Law of Entropy

The twins Castor and Pollux invite us to reflection. It is in fact known that in nature, manifested matter and the occult energy symbolized in the heat, light, electricity, the chemical energies and other superior ones which are still unknown to us, always process themselves in an inverse manner and the appearance of one presupposes the entropy or disappearance of the other; no less and no more than the mysterious brothers Castor and Pollux, a symbol of such a phenomenon among the Greeks. They alternately lived and died in the same manner that matter and energy anywhere are alternately born and die, appear and disappear.

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

The process of Gemini is vital in Cosmo-genesis. The original earth was a sun that gradually condensed at the expense of a nebulous ring when, by irradiation or cooling down, the first solid film of our globe was determined by means of the chemical phenomenon of dissipation or entropy of the energy which constitutes the gross states of matter which we call solid and liquid.

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

In the long run, there’s disorder with entropy. Isn’t there? As we see in the atoms and molecules of a cadaver, there’s disorder. There’s disorder in a library, for example, if it’s not cleaned, if order isn’t established, book upon book, paper upon paper, keep piling up, and in the long run it’s chaos that nobody understands, disorder. On the other hand, everything is different with transformation; with transformation, order is produced, an atomic order. There’s something that’s always left me thinking— we find order in any molecule of the universe. There’s order in the petals of a flower, there’s order in the ions and electrons of an atom. Obviously, if there’s order in an atom or molecule, it means there’s an ordering force because I couldn’t conceive of order in a molecule of copper or starch without an ordering force.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 121 — Faith, the Law of Entropy, the Essence, and Types of Hanasmussen also in The Law of Entropy

Now, an ordering force must be an intelligent force because I could not believe, I could never accept, that an ordering force could arise by chance because chance is not intelligent. Now, if chance is capable of producing that ordering force, undoubtedly, that chance ceases to be chance and becomes an intelligent principle.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 121 — Faith, the Law of Entropy, the Essence, and Types of Hanasmussen also in The Law of Entropy

So, by exact logic we can say the directing, ordering principle of all that is, has been, and will be, is the Creator Demiurge. Only that marvelous, ordering force that brought the universe into existence can realize extraordinary transformations. But if one does not use that ordering force, the Law of Entropy gradually produces disorder of the molecules, disorder of the atoms, disorder of the mind, disorder of psychological principles, and thus we all end up equalized, converted into something that has not the least importance. That is the crude reality of the facts.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 121 — Faith, the Law of Entropy, the Essence, and Types of Hanasmussen also in The Law of Entropy

Millions of people today, for example, are stuck on the path of entropy. Since they don’t work on themselves, they become more idiotic every day, their minds atrophying, the centers of the organic machine more and more degenerated, all the areas of the brain no longer working, and finally the day will come when the Law of Entropy will equalize them all down below in the Tartarus.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 121 — Faith, the Law of Entropy, the Essence, and Types of Hanasmussen also in The Law of Entropy

Haven’t you noticed how the Law of Entropy equalizes people? Someone can be buried in a golden coffin and someone else in a wooden coffin, and no matter how beautiful the sepulcher may be, in the long run they end up the same, one as bony as the other; death equalizes them all, that’s obvious. That’s entropy.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 121 — Faith, the Law of Entropy, the Essence, and Types of Hanasmussen also in The Law of Entropy

So, these humanoids who populate the face of the Earth, these three-brained or tricentered bipeds will one day all be equalized, degenerated and incapable, identical, hardly distinguishable from one another.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 121 — Faith, the Law of Entropy, the Essence, and Types of Hanasmussen also in The Law of Entropy

And we also know that there is a law, and that law is none other than the Law of Entropy. If we do not work on our thoughts, if we do not work on our mind, if we do not work on the “I”, on the “me-myself”, on the “oneself”, etc., thoughts tend to be of a more and more inferior nature, emotions become more and more negative, volitions gradually become weaker, they fall into entropy, areas of the brain become weaker (and not all the areas of the brain work, as at other times, but only a few; the best doctors, the best men of science, know this); they fall into entropy.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 029 — Existential Wealth of Sacrifice Interview – Mexico City – 1976 also in The Law of Entropy

Everything tends, then, to involute according to the Law of Entropy, and in the long run, entropy leads to the equalization of things. For example, in the golden coffin of a rich man and in the coffin of a poor man, the two bodies are equal in the end because only bones remain of them.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 029 — Existential Wealth of Sacrifice Interview – Mexico City – 1976 also in The Law of Entropy

Let us observe the Earth; they say it moves slower every day, in other words, the rotation on its axis is getting slower and slower each day due to the high tides and friction of the waters. On the other hand, the Sun is said to be cooling down. I don’t think that’s so but I do say that as the Earth’s atmosphere becomes thinner, it will lose the capacity to screen and break down the Sun’s rays into light and heat. At the rate we’re going, the Moon will drift off if the rotational speed diminishes. That’s the thinking, and I believe it’s so; that’s entropy.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 121 — Faith, the Law of Entropy, the Essence, and Types of Hanasmussen also in The Law of Entropy

One day the Earth will be just another moon; entropy will have equalized it. For a start, let’s see how it’s doing under the Law of Entropy, how it is. The oceans are already turned into garbage dumps, fish dying, rivers polluted, creatures dying, the atmosphere polluted with smog, the fruits of the Earth adulterated; that’s obvious.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 121 — Faith, the Law of Entropy, the Essence, and Types of Hanasmussen also in The Law of Entropy

The pseudo-sapients who “know everything” have done away with the true fruits of the Earth. Now you can’t even find apples to eat, and we have to choke down Golden Delicious [apples]. Seedless oranges from California! Have you ever seen anything more stupid? Of course, that is the Law of Entropy; the know-it-alls are satisfied with their “wisdom” without knowing that what they’ve done is they’ve degenerated the vegetables, sending them down the path of entropy.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 121 — Faith, the Law of Entropy, the Essence, and Types of Hanasmussen also in The Law of Entropy

At the rate we’re going, the lands will become sterile, and atomic explosions (because they’ve just made a killing financially), if we continue like this, the Earth will one day be equalized, it will become another moon.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 121 — Faith, the Law of Entropy, the Essence, and Types of Hanasmussen also in The Law of Entropy

In high flights of the Being, one can investigate inside the belly of the Moon, what happens in the bowels of our neighboring satellite. There we have a group of Selenite “I’s” that belonged to a lunar type of people from when that satellite was inhabited (one day long ago, that satellite was inhabited, long before this Earth on which we live came into existence).

Transcribed lectures Lecture 121 — Faith, the Law of Entropy, the Essence, and Types of Hanasmussen also in The Law of Entropy

The Moon is ancient. When it had real life, it also had people, humanity, and today one finds the remains of those people among the Selenite “I’s” of the infernal lunar worlds; they’re all the same, indistinguishable from one another. The Law of Entropy has equalized them in the same way that it equalizes two corpses in the long run even if one has been buried in a golden box and another in a wooden box; in the long run, they’re left equalized. The Law of Entropy is in charge of equalizing the rich and the poor and everybody; that is the crude reality of the facts.

We’ve heard you. There is no doubt that your concept of sacrifice is full of a very profound cosmic beauty; I only allow myself to disagree about the pain factor because, obviously, this must exist in sacrifice or sacred-service.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 029 — Existential Wealth of Sacrifice Interview – Mexico City – 1976 also in The Law of Entropy

Master: We have listened to you. There is no doubt that your concept of sacrifice is filled with a very profound cosmic beauty. I would only like to disagree in regard to the factor of “pain”, because, obviously, this must exist in the sacrifice or “sacred-office” (sacro-oficio).

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Apostolate Interview – Mexico City – November, 1976

He who wants to self-realize must sacrifice himself. All sacrifice is frightful; one must be willing to lose what is dearest to him. Sacrifice itself is painful.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 029 — Existential Wealth of Sacrifice Interview – Mexico City – 1976 also in The Law of Entropy

It is necessary to understand and differentiate between a Fall and a Descent. He who has once been decapitated, can not be recapitated. On the verge of entering the Absolute, one must descend to the Ninth Sphere. If one reaches the Second Birth, sex is prohibited; sex is no longer used just because one may want to. If, however, one receives the order of the White Fraternity; the Sacred Order, or that of the Father who is in Secret, and one is ordered to descend the well of the Abyss, one must obey. This is not pleasure, but pain, sacrifice.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Every sacrifice is painful by nature; the sacrifice of the Superman costs much blood. So, it is well worth understanding because on this basis we can withstand all the setbacks of life. Any company that works without sacrifice has no victory, and is just any old company.

Such power, unquestionably, can only be acquired as any faculty, on the basis of supreme sacrifices.

33. We can rise to the summits of light, only on the steps of love and sacrifice.

The Igneous Rose, 1954 also in The Igneous Rose

Fortunately, the wisdom of the Theomegalogos has it all very well calculated. We already know that only through transformation is it possible to overcome the Law of Entropy because transformation includes sacrifice; that is ostensible.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 121 — Faith, the Law of Entropy, the Essence, and Types of Hanasmussen also in The Law of Entropy

So, if one does nothing, if one doesn’t transform, if one doesn’t sacrifice himself or sacrifice something, he doesn’t transform, he’s swallowed by the Law of Entropy; that’s obvious. It’s worth reflecting on all these things.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 121 — Faith, the Law of Entropy, the Essence, and Types of Hanasmussen also in The Law of Entropy

The whole problem of Liberation is based on transformation, and transformation is based on sacrifice. Observe that all life is transformation. Thanks to the infinite transformations that take place within the maternal womb, the human organism can be formed.

The Fifth Gospel Of Impressions Lecture given to the brothers of Colombia – Mexico City – 1975

Ostensibly, sacrifice clearly means the deliberate clairvoyant choice of a superior quality over an inferior one.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

The coal consumed by the locomotive is cruelly sacrificed to the power of motion, which is so indispensable to transport passengers.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

In reality, sacrifice is a transmutation of forces. Energy, latent in coal, offered in the altar of the locomotive, is transformed into the dynamic energy of steam by means of the proper devices.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

There is also a psychological and cosmic mechanism. Every act of sacrifice activates it and transforms it into spiritual energy, which in turn, can be applied to various devices and reappear in the planes of the form, in a kind of integrating force, much different than what it originally was.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

For instance, a man could sacrifice his emotions for his career, or a woman, her career for her emotions.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

From another angle, we could affirm that but that’s not what we’re proposing on this topic. Nevertheless, since you like to bring up other laws, I will gladly put in quotation marks and underline, “When an inferior law is transcended by a superior law, the superior law washes away the inferior law.” For an inferior law to be transcended by a superior law, it’s necessary for the inferior law to be sacrificed by the superior law. Right? And when it is sacrificed, transformation comes, and transformation converts the inferior law into a superior law.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 121 — Faith, the Law of Entropy, the Essence, and Types of Hanasmussen also in The Law of Entropy

Concretely, what does transformation really mean? With regard to this, much might be argued or objected to; someone might argue that transformation has nothing to do with sacrifice or vice versa but I’ve brought up the subject of transformation because it is fundamental to sacrifice.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 029 — Existential Wealth of Sacrifice Interview – Mexico City – 1976 also in The Law of Entropy

Let's look at this concretely. Oil is sacrificed in the locomotive for the sake of the propelling power that makes the train travel on its rails. In other times, coal or charcoal was specially used for this purpose; so, it was sacrificed, the coal for the sake of momentum.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 029 — Existential Wealth of Sacrifice Interview – Mexico City – 1976 also in The Law of Entropy

But let’s see how different these two aspects themselves are (coal and a running train). Let’s take a piece of coal or charcoal, examine it, and see a running train; they’re completely different ...

However, by means of sacrifice, it’s possible to transform coal or charcoal into momentum, into velocity ...

Transcribed lectures Lecture 029 — Existential Wealth of Sacrifice Interview – Mexico City – 1976 also in The Law of Entropy

In any case, by means of sacrifice, an inferior force is transformed into a superior and different force, as in the example we’ve cited of the coal and the engine.

Between MI and FA there is a pause in order to move on to the next goal. We must continue the battles, no matter the pain, until all the inferior forces are transformed into superior forces.

The fuel in a locomotive, for example, is sacrificed. For the sake of what? For the energy that sets the whole train in motion; that is sacrifice. If the engine is coal-fired like the old ones were, that fuel is sacrificed. For what? For the sake of energy, for the sake of making the train move. Yes, when an inferior force is sacrificed for the sake of a superior one, there is transformation. What happens is that the outcome is so different (because, let’s see, for example) a fuel like coal is different from the energy of the train; when it’s sacrificed, it becomes something so different because the energy that puts the train in motion is completely different from the energy of the coal; they’re different.

Likewise, when a man sacrifices his sexual impulses, the result of that energy becomes the superior existential bodies of the Being. Do you see how distinct, how different, the result is?

People do not like Sexual Magic because it means the sacrifice of oneself, of ones animal passions. Rare is he who can be truly stead fast in Sexual Magic. Many begin with curiosity, but after a few days they can no longer tolerate it and then give themselves over to fornication. These are the weak who afterwards go about saying that Sexual Magic is harmful. These are the degenerated seeds that do not germinate.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

It is ostensible that non-ejaculation for lustful people is a frightful sacrifice.

My Return to Tibet, 1969

It is unquestionable that in the will for sexual transmutation and the Sahaja Maithuna, such as we taught in chapter 26 of this 1969-1970 Christmas Message, a frightful sacrifice and an authentic psychological rebellion, or better if we say, a declared insurrection against our biological inheritance exists.

My Return to Tibet, 1969

The twelfth Arcanum appears in the Tarot as follows: The twelfth Arcanum represents a human being with his hands bound behind him, and suspended by one foot. His tied hands on his head force him to form a triangle with his arms, with the vertex pointing downwards, and with his legs he forms a cross which is above the triangle. The gibbet is formed by the trunks of two trees, each with the stumps of six lopped branches, and by a cross-piece, thus completing the figure of the Hebrew Tau. Behold here the sacrifice and the performed work. This is what is called sexual alchemy.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

Those who die on the altar of sacrifice, that is, the “sacred office” of the Ninth Sphere, reach the House of the Sun: they merge with their God.

In synthesis, this is a solar stone that tell us that only with the work in the ninth sphere (where worlds, human beings, beasts, and gods are gestated) and with a will made of steel suffering frightful sacrifices can Christification be achieved.

70. There is the need to form Christ within ourselves, 71. When a man and a woman intensely practice sexual magic or when they totally abstain themselves with the terrific sacrifice of abstinence, then Christ is formed within them.

The Igneous Rose, 1954 also in The Igneous Rose, The Intimate Christ

61. The sacred fire enters into activity when the solar and lunar atoms of the Brahmanic cord come into contact in the Triveni. This contact is possible only by intensely practising sexual magic with our spouse, or by means of the sacrifice of a complete and definitive sexual abstention.

The Igneous Rose, 1954 also in The Igneous Rose

30. There are the seven serpents that the human being must raise by intensely practicing sexual magic with his spouse. They can also be raised by means of the strength of the sacrifice of a total and definitive sexual abstention, as performed by the authentic Yogis who follow the path of perfection, or as performed by the sublime mystics, Ramakrishna, Francis of Assisi, or Anthony of Padua.

The Igneous Rose, 1954 also in The Igneous Rose

18. Sexual abstinence is a treme ndous sacrifice, 19. A sacred temple exists in the internal worlds, in which the elemental Angel who governs this marvellous tree officiates.

Some people are willing to sacrifice their mundane pleasures for the joys of the spirit. Nevertheless, it is very rare for someone to be willing to renounce his or her own sufferings, to sacrifice them for something superior.

Doctor Faust could become invisible at will. The cited magus had clearly obtained power on the basis of sacrifice.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

In the Sexual Center, attraction and repulsion, chastity and lust, exist in eternal conflict. The Intellectual Animal sacrifices his pleasures if necessary, but he is incapable of sacrificing his own sufferings.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Keep in mind that people base their experiences on the sufferings they went through, on the bitterness they had; “they became what they are today thanks to having suffered so much.” Rare is the one willing to sacrifice his sufferings. People are not willing to sacrifice their sufferings. Why?

Transcribed lectures Lecture 121 — Faith, the Law of Entropy, the Essence, and Types of Hanasmussen also in The Law of Entropy

They love them so much! Who doesn’t love them? Yes, observe people, look at them. You who are a practical man, observe the psychology of people and you will see how they love their sufferings. Everyone loves them and boasts of them; they enjoy reminiscing about them, “When I went through this and that, when I sold sweets on the street to become what I am today, Dr. So-and-So, or the powerful head of such-and-such a company. I, who sold newspapers, I, who slept on the sidewalk. How much I suffered!” Take that away from someone? No, they don’t want that; people love their own sufferings too much.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 121 — Faith, the Law of Entropy, the Essence, and Types of Hanasmussen also in The Law of Entropy

Yes, and they enjoy it. However rich they become, and powerful and happy in their luxury, they remember their sufferings from time to time; thus, remembering them, they feel self-important.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 121 — Faith, the Law of Entropy, the Essence, and Types of Hanasmussen also in The Law of Entropy

Of course, people want that kind of suffering very much and they’ll sacrifice anything but it. A person can afford to sacrifice a rowdy celebration by not going to it, sacrifice a movie by not going to it, etc., but what no one would sacrifice quite so easily is their sufferings, they love them too much.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 304 — Celestial Justice

Everyone is attached to their beloved sufferings; I’m referring to those subjective sufferings of the past, to those which people love so much. Like when people say, “I used to sell candies, and I went from door to door offering them. It rained on me (I went through such tremendous bitterness). But in the end, I managed (with a lot of hard work) to study in school, at a university, and today I’m a doctor. Now that I’m a doctor, I have that experience,” and he enjoys remembering those sufferings because it gives him the stature of an experienced man, a man who’s gone through life’s experiences, and he even reinforces his pride with it. It’s his pride that says, “I have this experience. I went through terrible sufferings to become what I am.” He would sacrifice anything except his sufferings; he would renounce all vices except his beloved sufferings.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 304 — Celestial Justice

Mechanical suffering is one thing, and voluntary, intentional, and purposeful suffering is another. Of course, the implied sufferings are part of the esoteric discipline itself. The discipline entails certain sufferings but the initiate goes through those sufferings intentionally; he seeks a transformation because he knows every transformation requires sacrifice; it’s obvious.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 304 — Celestial Justice

One feels satisfaction in remembering them, one feels like a martyr and enjoys it. It seems one is a little masochistic. Doesn’t it?

Transcribed lectures Lecture 304 — Celestial Justice

Of course, people love that type of suffering very much, and they would sacrifice everything except that. A person can afford to sacrifice a party, not to go to it; or sacrifice a movie, not go to it, etc., but what no one would sacrifice so easily would be their sufferings, they love them too much. The whole world is attached to their beloved sufferings.

The Fifth Gospel The Reason of Being of Objective Justice Lecture-Interview – Mexico City – 1975

I am referring to that subjective sufferings of the past, which people speak so much about, as when they say: “Well, I used to sell sweets and walked around, from door to door, offering them; rain fell on me, I went through tremendous bitterness, but finally, with a lot of work I got to study at a school, at a university. Today I am a doctor. I, being a doctor today, have that experience.” And he enjoys remembering those sufferings, because that gives him the character of an experienced man, of a man who went through the experiences of life. And he even bases his pride on that; it is a thing of pride. “I have this experience. I went through terrible sufferings to become a doctor”, says his pride. And he would sacrifice everything, except for his sufferings. He would renounce all vices, except for his dear sufferings.

The Fifth Gospel The Reason of Being of Objective Justice Lecture-Interview – Mexico City – 1975 also in Pride

Only through sacrifice can the transformation of inferior energies into superior energies be achieved; this is obvious. Therefore, one thing is suffering, and another thing is that to reach the Intimate Self-Realization of the Being, it can only be done on the basis of conscious works and voluntary sufferings. That is different. Voluntary! Not mechanical, but voluntary.

The Fifth Gospel The Reason of Being of Objective Justice Lecture-Interview – Mexico City – 1975

One thing is mechanical suffering and another thing is voluntary suffering, intentional, done on purpose, and of course, sufferings are involved in the very esoteric discipline. Discipline involves certain sufferings, but the Initiate goes through these sufferings intentionally; it is a transformation, because he knows that every transformation cost him something; it costs him sacrifice, it is obvious.

The Fifth Gospel The Reason of Being of Objective Justice Lecture-Interview – Mexico City – 1975

Master: ► How is pain sacrificed?

The Fifth Gospel The Word and the Sacerdotal Magisterium

But when one begins to disintegrate the Ego, he begins to whiten. When one knows how to sacrifice one’s own sufferings, he begins to whiten. When one has completely disintegrated the Ego, he shines gloriously, and upon integrating with the Initiate, he transforms the latter into an archangel, because he himself becomes an archangel. And he will always keep his horns. But on the horns are the tridents, and the number of tridents indicates the degree of development attained in the objective reason of the Being.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Consequences of the Immolation of Pain Lecture-Interview – Mexico City – 1976

Master: It could be said Paramarthasatya. But such heights are not reached except through successive awakenings of the Consciousness, and one cannot reach those successive awakenings of the Consciousness except by sacrificing pain, by learning to sacrifice one’s own sufferings. Because, in reality and in truth, every time one sacrifices a suffering, one’s Consciousness grows and one acquires more psychological strength.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Consequences of the Immolation of Pain Lecture-Interview – Mexico City – 1976 also in Awakening

That is already properly proven. Sacrificing pain: that is the most extraordinary key there is for processing the awakening of the Consciousness. These various awakenings, in turn, go on increasing or intensifying the development of objective reason, which belongs –as I have already said– to the profound inner mind.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Consequences of the Immolation of Pain Lecture-Interview – Mexico City – 1976

Through this path one arrives at the end: increasing the Consciousness more and more, and as one increases the Consciousness, one “kills” karma, one “kills”. Let us give an example, if someone becomes conscious of the pain that a poorly done business deal caused him, he discovers that the “I” of selfishness was active. So he disintegrates it and “kills” karma; or discovers that the “I” of ambition was active, he “kills” karma upon disintegrating it. And if people took advantage of even the smallest pain in their lives to sacrifice it, at the time of death, they would disincarnate without karma, with a completely lucid, awakened Consciousness, and without karma.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Consequences of the Immolation of Pain Lecture-Interview – Mexico City – 1976 also in Awakening, The Law of Karma

Upon reaching these heights, one comes to realize, in truth, who was the one who was causing the pain. It was not the thief who caused the pain, but the “I” of attachment to material things and the “I” of fear. And one confirms it after he sacrifices the pain, after he disintegrates the “I’s” of fear and of attachment; he comes to understand it because the pain disappears completely. So, it was not the thief who caused the pain. One carries the causes of pain within oneself; not outside oneself, but within. If one does not sacrifice pain, one will never be happy. And the causes of pain are not outside oneself, but within oneself. I have reached these reflections. [...]

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Consequences of the Immolation of Pain Lecture-Interview – Mexico City – 1976 also in Fear, Greed

Master: Of course, provoking formidable awakenings, sacrificing one’s own sufferings, and people are not willing to sacrifice this, they love them too much. But if one sacrifices them... Oh! The awakening! The awakenings come one after the other.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Consequences of the Immolation of Pain Lecture-Interview – Mexico City – 1976

Master: Yes, it causes pain to sacrifice pain, but the result is total awakening.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Consequences of the Immolation of Pain Lecture-Interview – Mexico City – 1976

Master: Of course. And that is why it is worth living, because one has the opportunity, precisely, to sacrifice one’s pain.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Consequences of the Immolation of Pain Lecture-Interview – Mexico City – 1976

But when one begins to disintegrate the ego, he begins to whiten himself. When one knows how to sacrifice his own sufferings, he begins to whiten himself. When one has completely disintegrated the ego, he shines gloriously; and by integrating himself with the Intimate, it transforms him into an archangel because he himself becomes an archangel.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 154 — Sacrifice of Pain

You could say that, Paramartha-satya. But one does not reach such heights except through successive awakenings of the consciousness, and one cannot achieve those successive awakenings of the consciousness except by sacrificing pain, by learning to sacrifice one's own sufferings. For in truth, each time one sacrifices suffering, his consciousness increases and he acquires more psychological strength. That is perfectly, shall we say, evidenced. Sacrificing pain, that is the most extraordinary key there is in the process of awakening the consciousness. These diverse awakenings in turn, we could say, increase or intensify the development of objective reason, which belongs, as I have already said, to the profound interior mind. This is the way to liberation: one has to increase one's consciousness, and as he increases his consciousness, he’s going to “kill karma,” he kills it. If someone, for example, becomes conscious of the pain caused by a business deal gone bad (as an example), he discovers that the “I” of selfishness was active. So, he disintegrates it and “kills karma”; or he discovers that the “I” of ambition was active, he “kills karma” by disintegrating it.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 154 — Sacrifice of Pain

And if people would take advantage of sacrificing even the smallest pain in their lives, at the hour of death they would disincarnate without karma, with a completely lucid, awakened, and karma-free consciousness.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 154 — Sacrifice of Pain

And one comes to verify it after sacrificing the pain, after disintegrating the “I’s” of fear and attachment, and he comes to comprehend why the pain disappears absolutely. So, it wasn’t the thief who provoked the pain, the causes of pain are within oneself, not outside of oneself but within.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 154 — Sacrifice of Pain

If one does not sacrifice pain, he will never be happy because the causes of pain are not outside oneself but inside oneself. I have reached these reflections.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 154 — Sacrifice of Pain

Well, that, and people are not willing to sacrifice them, they love them too much. But if one sacrifices them, the awakening comes, awakenings do come.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 154 — Sacrifice of Pain

Yes, there is pain from sacrificing pain but the result is the awakening. In the end, with that work you are set free. That makes life worth living. Doesn’t it? Because you indeed have the opportunity to sacrifice yourself.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 154 — Sacrifice of Pain

All forces must be transformed into something different. The true Man has to sacrifice himself to become the Superman of Nietzsche.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 029 — Existential Wealth of Sacrifice Interview – Mexico City – 1976 also in The Law of Entropy

It is interesting to remember that during human sacrifice, the hearts of maidens were offered to the Gods. All this contains an esoteric meaning, which the erudite ignoramuses of this century do not understand. It is clear that we do not approve of human sacrifice. These sacrifices were barbaric; millions of children and maidens were sacrificed to the Gods. These were horrifying scenes of pain; abomi nable. We are only reflecting, however, upon the fact of offering the bleeding heart to the Gods. This fact is tremendous. The Intimus needs to swallow the heart of man, that is to say to assimilate it, absorb it, devour the human personality that has fabricated that which is called Soul. It is truly the case that the Intimus is like a tree with many leaves. Each leaf is a human personality. The Intimus does not have one single personality as pseudo-esotericists believe. The Intimus has various personalities, and what is most astounding is that he can have them incarnated in different parts of the world.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in The Being Is the Being

To reincarnate is a sacrifice, to return is a failure. Thus, the Sacred Individuals reincarnate in order to save the world. Yet, the imbeciles return in order to torment the world.

Dissolving the I, 1964 also in Return and Reincarnation

Jesus Christ sacrificed himself extensively for humanity. Why? He needed to open the path of initiation publicly for us (deep down, there’s something more to it).

Transcribed lectures Lecture 029 — Existential Wealth of Sacrifice Interview – Mexico City – 1976 also in The Law of Entropy

But we’re also told that in Mithras-worship a god appears over a beast, piercing it with a dagger; life then arises from the blood of that beast—plants, and all that is, has been, and will be (Mithras-worship spread throughout Europe).

Transcribed lectures Lecture 029 — Existential Wealth of Sacrifice Interview – Mexico City – 1976 also in The Law of Entropy

The very word sacrifice transforms us into apostles. Christ sacrificed himself to overcome the Law of Entropy, and this crucifixion and sacrifice must be made in each of us.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 029 — Existential Wealth of Sacrifice Interview – Mexico City – 1976 also in The Law of Entropy

Yes, the transformation will take place on the basis of sacrifice. The sacrifice will cause a great catastrophe. Christ himself sacrificed himself on Golgotha to overcome the Law of Entropy. And the God Mithras was mounted on a bull with a knife stuck in the animal’s back; from the blood that was shed from that sacred bull, plants and all that is, has been, and will be, sprang forth. That tells us the same thing, sacrifice is indispensable for transformation; transformation is urgent to transcend entropy. If one does nothing, if he does not sacrifice even his own bitterness, he will be the victim of the Law of Entropy. People don’t feel like sacrificing themselves, no. They don’t comprehend the Law of Sacrifice, or they believe that fruitful work can be done without sacrifice, which is absurd because if one begins with great enthusiasm, for example, but without the spirit of sacrifice, sooner or later the Law of Entropy will come into action and his work will fail. But if one begins a work on the basis of sacrifice, it will cause incessant transformations, and his work will grow and will be fruitful everywhere; it’s clear.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 121 — Faith, the Law of Entropy, the Essence, and Types of Hanasmussen also in The Law of Entropy

49. It was then that the CHRIST, emanated from the uncreated light, descended to the Universal shadows, penetrated the Sanctuary and signed the solemn undertaking of the sacrifice to save men and Gods.

Christ Will, 1959 also in The Intimate Christ

The God Child grows little by little, over time He develops. How does He grow? In what way? By eliminating the “I ” disintegrating them, reducing them to ashes, to cosmic dust. This is how our personal intimate Jeshua grows. The labour which that Child must undertake is very arduous; it is the Christ which is born in the stable to save us, and He must kill within Himself all of those animals of the stable. He must over come the princes of evil in Himself, the sons of infidelity in Himself, and the temptations which one must pass through being human, being a person of flesh and bone. These are the temptations through which he must pass; they are His temptations, and one’s own body of flesh and bone becomes His body of flesh and bone. In this lies the value of His sacrifices, of His efforts.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Intimate Christ

When He has triumphed, He is glorified and is worthy of all praise and glory, given that He has overcome all of the evil within Himself. He has not overcome it outside, but rather within Himself. He has been sacrificed like a lamb and for this reason is called the Sacrificial Lamb. He has sacrificed Himself to save us with his Blood; that is to say, with the Fire. In Alchemy the Blood represents the Sacred Fire of Kundalini.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Great is the work of the Intimate Christ, working in and within us, with immense sacrifice. This is the nature of the Salvatur Salvandus.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in The Intimate Christ

Time passes... the days become cruelly longer, and the spring equinox arrives. This is Holy Week, the moment of crossing from one extreme to another, the moment of the Lord’s crucifixion in this world. The Christ-Sun crucifies Himself on planet Earth to give life to all that exists. After His death, He resurrects in all creation, ripening the grapes and the grain. The law of the Logos is sacrifice.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in The Intimate Christ

The Law of the Solar Logos is sacrifice. He crucifies himself at the dawning of life in every new world that surges forth from the Chaos, in order for all beings to have life and have it in abundance.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The law of the Solar Logos is sacrifice for humanity. He sacrifices himself from the dawn of life, crucifying himself in all worlds, on each new planet, which comes into existence, so that all beings may have life and have it in abundance. Rare is he who receives the Venustic Initiation; it is a very special grace. One must previously have sacrificed oneself for humanity.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in The Intimate Christ

The Law of the Solar Logos, the Cosmic Christ, is sacrifice for humanity. He sacrifices Himself from the dawn of life, being crucified in all of the worlds, in each new planet which comes into existence, so that all beings may have life, and have it in abundance. Only after having passed through the five Initiations of Major Mysteries, having previously sacrificed for humanity, and by very special grace, is the Christ able to reincarnate within us. In order to understand how that cosmic force is humanised in us, one must learn how to control the Trimurtis.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Intimate Christ

The universe arose from the entrails of the Absolute, and the Uncreated Light sank into a sunset of nostalgia. Gods and men descended thus into the shadows of the universe. The Sacrifice was consummated and the Kabalah records this in its ma jor Arcanum number 12. If we add the number 12 together, it gives us 3. One is the Masculine principle, the Fire. Two, the Feminine principle, Water, the Semen. Three, the Universe, the Son.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Time after time, Melchisedec, the Genie of the Earth, must purify the powers of this world with sacrifices and terrible transformations.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Elemental Magic

56. The Christic Will only kneels before the FATHER. The Christic Will is sacrifice and filial love towards the FATHER.

Christ Will, 1959 also in Desire and Will

5. The Christic Will is sacrifice. The Christic Will is Apostolate.

Christ Will, 1959

4. The Master hangs from his feet, sacrificed for humanity.

Christ Will, 1959

31. Willpower’s strength is the tremendous force of sacrifice... It is the crown of thorns of the Master.

The Igneous Rose, 1954

But Mahayana Buddhism, or Mahayanic Buddhism, is more exigent. Only those who have sacrificed themselves for humanity through successive Mahamanvantaras are recognized as Bodhisattvas.

For the Few, 1980

Mahayanic Buddhism says that there are two classes of these beings: those who would be Pratyeka Buddhas, and those aspiring to be Pratyeka Buddhas, who are the Shravakas. The Shravakas have never sacrificed for humanity, never, not ever. They fight for change, yes, and they do change. But, they have never given their lives for their brothers and they have never bore the Intimate Christ. The others are truly Bodhisattvas. They are those who have renounced the happiness of Nirvana for the love of humanity. They are those who, in different Mahamanvantaras, have given their blood for humanity. Even though being able to live happily in Nirvana, they renounced any happiness for their brothers on Earth. They are the only ones who can truly incarnate the Christ.

For the Few, 1980 also in The Intimate Christ

But the Buddhism of Mahayana or Mahayanic is more demanding. It only recognizes those who have sacrificed themselves for humanity through successive Maha-Manvantaras as Bodhisattvas.

The Fifth Gospel Psychoemotional Metamorphosis of Man Third Chamber – Mexico City – July 27, 1977

There are two kinds of beings –says Mahayanic Buddhism–: some, for example, would be the Pratyeka Buddhas, and the aspirants to become Pratyeka Buddhas, who are the Sravakas. The latter do not sacrifice themselves for humanity ever, never. They struggle, yes, to change, and they do change, but they never give their lives for their brothers, and of course, they never incarnate the intimate Christ either.

The Fifth Gospel Psychoemotional Metamorphosis of Man Third Chamber – Mexico City – July 27, 1977

The Alchemist who does not sacrifice himself for humanity will never become a Boddhisattwa.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Only the Boddhisattwas who sacrifice themselves for humanity can incarnate Christ. The sacred title of Boddhisattwa is legitimately attained, only by those who have renounced to all Nirvanic happiness for the love of the suffering humanity.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in The Intimate Christ

The Bodhisitta is formed with the merits of love and supreme sacrifice for our fellowmen.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The Bodhisitta emerges in the aspirant who sacrifices himself for his fellowmen; long before the Mercurial bodies have been created.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Only those who have sacrificed themselves for the planetary humanities, through distinct Mahamanvantaras, deserve to be called Boddhisattwas.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

When the Initiate experiences the Truth, he teaches the path that leads to the Truth. Every true Boddhisattwa sacrifices himself for the Truth.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The Boddhisattwas with compassionate heart sacrifice themselves for planetary humanities through successive Mahamanvantaras, and finally, they achieve the incarnation of Christ.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in The Intimate Christ

And on the other hand, we truly have the Bodhisattvas of Compassion, those who, having created the superior existential bodies of the Being (meaning, the mercurial bodies), have dedicated themselves to working with the third factor of the revolution of consciousness; they have sacrificed themselves for humanity. They, the bodhisattvas who have given their blood for all people throughout different eternities, they (indeed they) are the ones who later shall truly receive the Venustic Initiation and incarnate the Christ in that great cosmic event. It has been written, “To him who knows, the word gives power; no one has pronounced it, no one will pronounce it but he alone who has incarnated it.” H.P.B. classifies as bodhisattvas those who have the superior existential bodies of the Being through fulfillment of the being-Partkdolg-duty. But speaking in rigorous Christic and Buddhist esoteric terms, we come to the conclusion that bodhisattvas are really those who have sacrificed themselves for planetary humanities through successive mahamanvantaras. Only they, the bodhisattvas, can attain omniscience.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 071 — Great Reality

One reaches the bodhisattvic state through sacrifice for humanity, struggling to bring this doctrine to all peoples of the Earth without distinction as to race, creed, caste, or color. One becomes a bodhisattva by propelling himself through all God’s streets with the word that creates and creates again; one becomes a bodhisattva by loving his enemies, blessing those who curse and persecute him; one becomes a bodhisattva by kissing the executioner’s whip. I say in truth that those who are not capable of sacrificing themselves for humanity can never become bodhisattvas.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 071 — Great Reality

This is the advantage of working with the third factor in the revolution of consciousness, that of sacrifice for our fellow beings, that of love for all beings that populate the face of the Earth. This is the path that leads to the bodhisattvic state.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 071 — Great Reality

Obviously, the three bodies, for example, the body of transformation—the nirmanakaya, as we call it—is magnificent because it allows us to transform ourselves, to completely renounce all happiness in order to think in terms of our fellowman. There are, for example, great arhats—we cannot deny it—buddhas of contemplation who we call pratyekas, who are concerned with their interior perfection, yes, but who are cruel; they don’t work for humanity, they do nothing for the world. That isn’t the path of authentic perfection. If we work not only within ourselves and for ourselves but we work as missionaries, too, bringing the teachings door to door, sacrificing for humanity, we follow the path of the nirmanakayas, which is the same as the buddhas of compassion.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 072 — Matter and Tality

The revolution of the consciousness has three basic factors: first, death, second, birth, and third, sacrifice for humanity. The order of these three factors does not alter the end result. In short, these are three parallel lines of our inner self. They are three well-defined lines of the revolution of consciousness. We must work with these three basic factors if we really, truly yearn for the full self-realisation. Let us now study each of these three factors separately in order to know what must die in us, what must be born and why we should sacrifice for others.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

The revolution of the consciousness has three perfectly defined factors: First: death. Second: birth. Third: sacrifice for humanity (the order of the factors does not change the result).

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution, Revolutionary Ethics

Sacrifice for humanity is universal conscious charity.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

To be born, to die, and to sacrifice for humanity are the three factors of the Revolution of the Consciousness.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

These three factors are: To be born, to die, and to sacrifice the self for humanity. The Cross of Saint Andrew is accustomed to being terribly painful.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution, The Twelve Powers Are Within Us, The Words He Uses

The supreme sacrifice of the Interior Andrew is urgent, non-delayable and unpostponable.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in The Twelve Powers Are Within Us

The doctrine of all Avatars has its roots in the Three Basic Factors of the Revolution of the Consciousness: to be born, to die and to sacrifice the self for humanity.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

Humanity develops in two circles, the exoteric and the esoteric. The exoteric is public. The esoteric is secret. The multitude lives in the exoteric, in the esoteric, the Adepts of the Great White Brother hood. It is the duty of all initiated Brothers to help those in the public circle. It is necessary to bring many to the secret circle of the White Brotherhood. The Initiatic Path is a true revolution of consciousness. This revolution has three perfectly defined aspects: first, to be born; second, to die; third, to sacrifice ourselves for humanity to give our life for humanity to struggle to bring others to t e secret path.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

To be born is an absolutely sexual problem. To die is the work of the dissolution of the “I”, the ego. Sacrifice for others is Love.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

We must clarify that the work with the Grain has three completely defined lines. First; to be born. Second; to die. Third; to sacrifice for the poor, suffering humanity.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

To be born is a completely sexual problem. To die is a matter of sanctity. Sacrifice for humanity is Christ-centrism.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

To be born is a sexual problem; to die is a matter of dissolving the ego. Sacrifice for humanity is love. People don’t like the idea of remaining in the Ninth Sphere for twenty or thirty years for the right to be born in the superior worlds; they do not like dying, dissolving the beloved ego; they do not like sacrificing for humanity. Inner selfrealization is of no interest to humanity, and clearly, nobody can be given what they do not want.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

The ‘I’ dies based on rigorous creative comprehension. The Being is born within us with the Maithuna (sexual magic). Sacrifice for humanity is charity and very well understood love.

Dissolving the I, 1964 also in The Being Is the Being

The third basic factor for the revolution of the consciousness consists in sacrificing oneself for humanity, of showing the Path to others; that is charity correctly understood; that is love. We have explained a lot and we have said a lot in our past messages about the three basic factors for the revolution of the consciousness, but people are lukewarm and Christ said, “I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth.” (Revelations 3:15-16)

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

It is written: “Narrow is the way which leads to the light”. He who wants to follow the path must: “Deny himself, take up his Cross and follow me.” (The three factors for the Revolution of Consciousness; to Die, to be Born, and Sacrifice).

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

To deny oneself means dissolution of the “I”. To take up one’s cross, place it on our shoulders, means to work with sex-yoga, with the Maithuna, with sexual magic. To follow the Christ is equivalent to sacrificing oneself for humanity, to give one’s life so that others may live.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

The third factor for the Revolution of Consciousness is Sacrifice, but Sattwic Sacrifice, without desiring the fruits of action, without desiring reward; pure, sincere, disinterested sacrifice, giving one’s Life in order for others to live and without asking for anything as reward.

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

Sattwic Sacrifice is done in accordance with the Divine Commandments, concentrating on the worship, only for the worship, by men who do not desire results.

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

Rayasic Sacrifice is done out of temptation and desiring the fruits.

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

Tamasic Sacrifice is always done against the commandments, without faith, without the Mantrams, without charity towards anyone, without love for humanity, without offering the sacred offering to the Priests or Gurus, etc., etc., etc.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

When one loves something, he sacrifices himself for what he loves, but if he does not love, he could not sacrifice himself. To be fully dedicated to one’s work, one must first of all love it dearly. If one does not love the work, then it is not possible for a conjunction to be formed with that Gnostic esoteric work. If there is no conjunction between the work and our lives, obviously, we will not work; that is all.

The Fifth Gospel Of the Esoteric Work Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975

5. Only unselfish service, chastity and sanctity take us to the ineffable summits 6. Now brother of mine, you have seen what is the great service 7. I know many spiritualist brethren, good and virtuous who fight for their perfection 8. I know many brethren who fight indescribably to correct their defects and to purify themselves. Yet, they do not remember others... They feel alone, they fight for their own spiritual progress and for their moral self-development. However, they do not remember that they have brothers and sisters and that all of us are children of the same Mother 9. Their spirituality is selfish spirituality. Therefore, the Masters do not owe them anything. There is nothing to pay them because nothing is owed to them. They do not assist anyone. They do not sacrifice themselves for anyone, nor do they fight for the spirituality of anyone.

The Igneous Rose, 1954 also in The Law of Karma

To follow the Lord from second to second signifies sacrifice for humanity, to be ready to give even our last drop of blood for our fellow men, to immolate ourselves upon the Sacred Altar of supreme love for the sake of all of our brethren of the world.

Runic Magic, 1969

To follow the Intimate Christ signifies Sacrifice, to be willing to give even the last drop of blood for this suffering humanity.

My Return to Tibet, 1969 also in The Intimate Christ

Master: Obviously, those who raise the torch of the verb to illuminate with it all those who live in existence, undoubtedly follow the path of the most magnificent sacrifice. They imitate the Christ, who gave his life for humanity. They imitate the apostles, who preached in every comer of the Earth; they imitate, then, the great martyrs. People like that accumulate a great dharma which enables them to advance on the Path of the Razor’s Edge. Thus, sacrifice is magnificent.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Apostolate Interview – Mexico City – November, 1976 also in The Law of Karma

Thus, sacrifice is advisable for those who truly want to be left clean of karma, because when one has with what to pay, one pays and does well in business. When one does not have with what to pay, one must pay with a lot of pain. It is better to have cosmic capital to pay, and that capital is achieved by means of sacrifice in favor of humanity, taking the Teaching to all the peoples of the Earth.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Apostolate Interview – Mexico City – November, 1976 also in The Law of Karma

11. Every sacrifice in the Great Work represents a debt, which the hierarchies must pay to the Apostle.

Christ Will, 1959 also in The Law of Karma

26. Each one of your sacrifices will be paid unto you in Nirvana.

The Igneous Rose, 1954 also in Chesed, The Igneous Rose

12. Powers are payments that the LOGOS gives to man, when the disciple has sacrificed himself for Humanity.

Manual of Practical Magic, 1954

14. INITIATIONS are payments that the Logos makes to man, when the disciple has sacrificed himself for Humanity.

Manual of Practical Magic, 1954

The Initiations are payments which the Logos makes to man when the disciple has sacrificed himself for humanity.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

The one who sacrifices himself for humanity attains the Venusian Initiation. It is urgent to know that the Venusian Initiation is the incarnation of the Christ in man.

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

Every authentic Guru sacrifices himself for humanity.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

At present, the seas have become enormous garbage dumps; if everything continues like this, in forty years, half of humanity will have disappeared. Everything will be equalized by death.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 029 — Existential Wealth of Sacrifice Interview – Mexico City – 1976 also in The Law of Entropy

The Earth must be saved so the seven races can be completed. The planet must be sacrificed with the holocaust of fire, the banquet of water, and the combat of the elements, all according to the Law. The Gospel according to the Law is the Gospel of St. Luke.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 029 — Existential Wealth of Sacrifice Interview – Mexico City – 1976 also in The Law of Entropy

Currently the Earth, for example, is marching completely in accordance with the Law of Entropy, and if there’s no great sacrifice it will be equalized in the future, becoming just one more moon. But the program has not been completed (each planet has to have its seven races before it becomes a moon); a great sacrifice must be made, a catastrophe is needed, and the sacrificer will be the Theomegalogos.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 121 — Faith, the Law of Entropy, the Essence, and Types of Hanasmussen also in The Law of Entropy

A catastrophe is needed. What for? To transform it, this Earth; this humanity must be sacrificed, all this must be transformed, sacrificed. A transformation is needed, and as a result of that transformation of energies, a new Earth will emerge with its Golden Age and beauty.

Transcribed lectures Lecture 121 — Faith, the Law of Entropy, the Essence, and Types of Hanasmussen also in The Law of Entropy

So, catastrophe is an indispensable necessity in order to overcome the Law of Entropy. If there were no such catastrophe, the Law of Entropy would end up equalizing the Earth with the Moon; it would be just another moon before its time. But thanks to the transformation that will take place with this sacrifice, which will be a catastrophe, a new Golden Age and a new humanity will emerge ... …

Transcribed lectures Lecture 121 — Faith, the Law of Entropy, the Essence, and Types of Hanasmussen also in The Law of Entropy

… … The Earth, then, is in agony; entropy is taking it, little by little, until it becomes a moon. Anyone who has a little vision can know it. Only through transformation can it manage to not yet become a moon, for something new to emerge from the chaos.
