Netzach

Netzach is the Mental World, the Cosmic Mind, the Mind of the Human Being.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

The Fourth Aeon is Netzach, the Mental World.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Seventh: Netzach, the realm of victory; the world of the human mind—all those who attain liberation from the four bodies of sin are Buddhas.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah

9. The seventh is NETZACH, the Mental Body.

Manual of Practical Magic, 1954

As a further development there comes a third triangle, and is represented by Netzach the mind, the seventh Sephiroth. It continues with Hod, the eighth Sephiroth, the Astral Body; further down is Jesod, the ninth Sephiroth, the principal foundation of sex, the vital base of the human organism, the vital body or etheric vehicle, the Lingam Sarira of Theosophy.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Hod, Yesod

The first triangle is Logoic; Kether, Chochmah and Binah. The second triangle is Ethic; Chesed, Geburah and Tiphereth. The third triangle is Magic; Netzach, Hod and Jesod. Malchuth, the physical world, is a fallen Sephiroth.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Hod, Malkuth, Yesod

If we analyse the second triangle we find that it is Ethic. Why do we call it “Ethic”? Simply because there ethics, right conduct, predominate. There we know the rigor of the Law; there we come to know good and evil, to know what “good” and “evil” is. This triangle is the world of Pure Spirit, the Hindu Trimurti of Atman, Buddhi and Manas. Obviously the centre of gravity of this triangle is clear to see. It is the Human Soul. That Soul suffers and is the very human part within us — that is — Tiphereth, which coincides with the causal. This triangle is also denominated the Triangle of the Son. We find there that the Cosmic Christ, Chochmah normally manifests through the Human Soul, Tiphereth of the Hebraic Kabalah. The third triangle is very interesting. The Magic triangle is made up of the mind, that is Netzach, the Astral Body or Hod and the Etheric Body, that is to say, Jesod, the basic sexual principle of Universal Life. Why is it called a Magic triangle? Because undoubtedly in the Kingdoms of the Mind, of the Astral, and even of the Kliphos or Infernal worlds is where one exercises High Magic.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Intimate Christ, Hod, The Human Soul, Yesod

ASSIAH: Is the world of action, the world of matter. Three Sephiroth of form are to be found in the Pillar of Severity (Binah, Geburah, Hod). Three Sephiroth of energy in the Pillar of Mercy (Chochmah, Chesed, Netzach). And between these two Pillars is the Pillar of Equilibrium, where are found the different levels of consciousness (Kether, Tiphereth, Jesod, Maichuth).

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

One will have to perform the Initiation of Malkuth, that is, the Mysteries of the Abyss in oneself, completely. One will have to take the mysteries of Yesod, the mysteries of sex to complete perfection, to the elevated qualification. One will have to go through the Initiation of Hod –the Astral Body–. One will have to go through the Initiation of Netzach –the Mental Body–. One will have to go through the Initiation of Tiphereth for the Son of Man to be born in him, and to die and resurrect among the dead. One will also have to go through the Initiation of Geburah –the Superlative Consciousness of the Being–, and through the one of Chesed –the Being, or Microprosopos, the “Little Face”, or the King of Microcosmos–. Finally, he will have to go through the Initiation on the eighth day of Binah for the King to rise from his sepulcher and come into the world of form.

The Fifth Gospel Animic Involution or Intimate Revolution Third Chamber – Mexico City – April 1973 also in The Intimate Christ, Malkuth

The Intimate is crowned with the Sephirothic Crown. The Intimate dwells in his temple. The temple of the Intimate has two columns: Jakin and Boaz. Jakin is the mind. Boaz is the astral body. The mind is the Sephiroth Netzach. The astral is the Sephiroth Hod. These two columns of the temple sustain themselves on the cubic stone of Jesod. That cubic stone also serves as the foundation of the kingdom of Malkuth. That cubic stone is the etheric body. Malkuth is the physical body.

The Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in The Being Is the Being, Hod, Malkuth, Yesod

This is the world of the Cosmic Mind; this world is governed by Anael, a divine child filled with beauty. Anael is the Angel of love. The mystic enters into ecstasy when contemplating Anael’s perfection. That Angel is precious; his countenance is rosy as the dawn and his hair look as if it were a golden cascade. All of these give onto this Angel an ineffable, enchanted, sublime and delectable presence. Indeed, Netzah is related with the world of love, of music and of beauty.

Aztec Christic Magic, 1973

The Aztec sculpture of Xochipilli is just a symbol of this Great Master who lives in the world of the mind. Netzah is governed by Venus, the star of love... The symbols of Netzah are the lamp, the belt, the rose... Netzah governs the kidneys, the waist.

Aztec Christic Magic, 1973

Without doubt, in Netzach we can find Hermetic Magic and in Hod, Natural Magic. Other authors think differently. They believe that Natural Magic is in Netzach, the mental world. I must disagree with them in that aspect, because the mind properly defined, is Mercurian. There are authors who are not in agreement with my concepts, they consider it to be Venusian. I am sorry to have to take issue with those concepts, but anyone is able to realise that the mind is Mercurian. So then, Hermetic Magic must be identified with Mercury in the mind, and with respect to Natural Magic, Ceremonial or Ritual Magic etc., we may find it in the Astral world, in the Astral Body.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Hod

Netzach: Mercury, Gemini—The Chariot of the Tarot. The Eternity of all things.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah

The Kabbalistic number of Netzah is the Arcane Seven, the Chariot of War of the Tarot, Expiation. Geburah is the Arcane Five, the justice of karma. Both Arcanes are different; yet, they complement each other.

Aztec Christic Magic, 1973

Arcanum number 7 is Struggle, Battle, Difficulties. The Warrior must learn to use the Staff and the Sword; thus he will attain great victory. Our motto is Thelema (Will). Kabalistic Sephiroth: “Netzach.”

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Netsah. The justice of the arcane. The eighth card of the Tarot; Saturn: Victory. Jesod. The Sun of Leo. The ninth card of the Tarot. The hermit. The absolute.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in Yesod

In the name of truth, we have to say that the world of the mind is the repository of all past, present and future mental forms. The world of the natural or universal mind must therefore be studied thoroughly, profoundly, if we want to understand something about the Ego and the representations.

169. ATALA is the world of the mist of fire, the world of the Intimate. 170. VITALA is the world of the consciousness. SUTALA is the world of willpower. TALATALA is the world of the mind. RASATALA is the astral world. MAHATALA is the ethereal world and PATALA is the physical world. 171. The Monadic essences glow like virginal sparks in ATALA. The sacred fire of our Lord Jesus Christ is in VITALA.

Naturally, we have many “I’s” inside, and each of them is a demon. These “I’s” are invisible to the eyes of the flesh, but they can be seen with clairvoyance, they live in the unknown dimension. To be clear –to speak only a little bit clearer–, they live in the fifth dimension, in the molecular world, and even in the sixth, that is in the mental world, and even in the seventh, that is the world of natural causes.

The Fifth Gospel Magic and Experimental Psychology Public Lecture – 1976 also in Clairvoyance

These electrons release a type of unknown energy. If the intellectual animal, mistakenly called man, could split the electrons as it splits the atom, obviously, he would be able to cause a catastrophe, which would not only affect the three-dimensional part of Euclid, but even more, it would affect the Sephirotic regions of Hod or the world of emotions, or Netzach, the world of the mind, or maybe even Tiphereth, the world of natural causes. Those regions would suffer great damage.

name like this? He himself explains it to us by telling us, “This is The Yellow Book; it is the wisdom of the Buddhas; it is the science of the cosmic mind. The Buddhas use a yellow cloak. The color of the mental world is yellow. When a man liberates himself from the four bodies of sin, he is a Buddha. Every Buddha uses a yellow cloak. The ray of the Christ is golden yellow.”

The Yellow Book, 1959

Death is realised in the spheres of the different planets. The Angels work in the Astral world and are governed by the Moon. The Archangels develop under the rule of Mercury and their work is realised in the world of the Mind. They control the substances or essence of the Mental world and this they have attained in the Ninth Sphere from moment to moment.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Hod

Sex is the fifth power of the human being. Sex can liberate or enslave man. No one can attain integrity no one can profoundly realize himself without the sexual force. No celibate can achieve total realization. Sex is the power of the Soul. The integral human being is achieved with the absolute fusion of the masculine and feminine pales of the Soul. The sexual force develops, evolves and progresses on seven levels (The seven levels of the Soul). In the physical world sex is a blind force of mutual attraction. In astral, sexual attraction is based on the affinity of types according to their polarities and essences. In the mental world sexual attraction takes place according to the laws of polarity and mental affinity. On the causal plane sexual attraction is realized on the basis of Conscious Will. It is precisely on this plane of natural causes where the complete union of the Soul is consciously realized, In fact, no one can attain the complete glory of the Perfect Matrimony without having reached this fourth state of human integration. We need to profoundly comprehend the whole sexual problem. We need to be integral. We need to transcend the mechanics of sex. We need to know how to procreate children of wisdom. At the supreme instant of conception, the human essences are completely open to all kinds of influences. The state of purity of the parents and their force of will to not spill the Cup of Hermes is all that can protect them from the danger that the spermatozoon and the ovum may be infiltrated by the subhuman substances of the bestial egos, which wish to reincarnate.

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

Another life similar to the present one is lived within the world of the mind. Therefore, it is not strange that in the world of the mind the competent investigators find humanity dedicated to similar labors as to those of the physical world.

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

28. Hospitals and clinics exist in the mental plane, where millions of mentally ill bodies are confined because of the painful process of reasoning, 29. The mental bodies of many Initiates that have destroyed their minds with the process of reasoning are hospitalized within these hospitals of the world of the mind.

Third: Humanization of the mental body; the ghostlike mental body of every human being commonly has the face and figure of an animal, it is animalized. When the matter-mind is transformed into Christ Mind, we achieve mental humanization. The mind represents the human animal. At present mankind is human only in appearance, but he is still essentially an animal. In the mental world, every person has the shape of the animal that corresponds to his or her human character or nature.

Then I could verify by myself in a direct manner the inferior (Hell) and superior (Heaven) aspects of the mental world. Unquestionably that Great Harlot of all fatalities, the apocalyptic Great Whore, whose number is 666, involutes horrifyingly in the mental hells...

The Three Mountains, 1972

It is written with characters of fire in the Book of Life: "He who wants to ascend must first descend''. "Each exaltation is always preceded by a terrible humiliation''. Unquestionably I yearned truly and with the whole strength of my Soul, to ascend to the Heaven of Mercury, the Devachan of the Hindustani, the superior mental world, the abode of the Archangels. However, before this it was indispensable to descend to the Hells of the Mind to destroy there the Hydra of Lerna.

55. We must not forget that the sly and most dangerous demons who exist in the universe reside in the mental plane.

19. Evilness is so fine in the world of the mind... Evilness is so delicate and subtle in the plane of cosmic understanding that in reality a lot of intuition is needed in order not to be cheated by the demons of the Mental World. 20. The Black Magicians are millions of times more fine and delicate in the Mental Plane than the Black Magicians of the Astral Plane.

Treatise of Sexual Alchemy, 1954

19. Billions of black magicians exist in the Astral and Mental planes; they disguise themselves as saints or Masters of the White Lodge to mislead the disciples or to dictate false oracles to them.

36. Psychic clairvoyance is set as an open door before you; however, it is necessary for you to acquire strength and to keep the word of God so as to not fall into temptation. 37. “Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon the entire world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.” REVELATION 3:10 38. In the Mental Plane there exist black magicians who very cunningly advise us to perform seminal ejaculation. 39.Those black magicians disguise themselves as saints and pronounce sublime speeches of love and sanctity.

The Mysteries of Fire, 1955 also in Clairvoyance

51. There are Black Magicians in the Mental World who appear as Adepts of the White Fraternity. 52. These Black Magicians have a sublime appearance and an exquisite spiritual culture. 53. When these Magicians speak, they speak only of love, light, truth, and justice. 54. They appear as ineffable beings and we discover that they are Black Magicians only when they advise us, in a very fine and delicate tone, to ejaculate the semen.

Treatise of Sexual Alchemy, 1954

In the world of the mind, there are splendid halls full of Light and beauty. There we find black magicians who resemble Masters of ineffable Light. Those tenebrous beings only speak divine things, but among their most subtle philosophies, they advise us to spill the semen.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in The Secret Weapon of the Ego

The most dangerous black magicians of the cosmos dwell in the mental cosmos. They have sublime appearances, they speak ineffable, beautiful things and then subtly advice the ejaculation of the semen. This is how they cause the great initiates to fall. The evils of humanity are in the mental world. We should not divide the mind into superior and inferior parts. The mental body is an organism that is similar to the physical body. If we place it in the hands of the Inner-Self, we become Gods; if we place it in the hands of Satan, we become demons.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

Even though it seems incredible, Black Magicians also exist within the Mental world. The Black Magicians from the Mental world are the most dangerous of the universe. Those Black Magicians from the Mental world are extremely fine, subtle, erudite and delicate. They can easily turn aside many investigators because they have the appearance of Masters. When the Master is christifying his Mental body, then he has to confront great battles against these very dangerous adepts of the shadow.

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

After we had investigated our previous invocations, we decided to study the Third Invocation of the “CONJURATION OF THE SEVEN”, which, to the letter, says as follows: “In the name of Raphael, begone before Elial, Samgabiel!” When we investigated Samgabiel, (do not confuse with St. (Saint) Gabriel), we met a terrible demon of the World of the Cosmic Mind. The Angel Elial is his exact Divine and Ineffable Opposite. On a certain day, we invoked Raphael... Then the Grand Master attended our call. The Master carried the Trident of the Mental World in his right hand. His face was rosy like fire. His white beard draped over his chest, was filled with majesty and light. The Master’s wide forehead indicated his profound wisdom to us. One of us asked the Grand Master for something. The Master answered saying: “You no longer need to ask for any thing!”

Esoteric Treatise of Theurgy, 1959

Really, he was an Initiate with complete knowledge of the Science of Good and Evil. It will cause great astonishment to our readers to know that the human soul of the Grand Master (the bodhisattva Raphael) has a physical body. The serious thing is to know that the Bodhisattva... is fallen! However, he is struggling terribly to rise... We should distinguish between the Master and his Human Soul. The Master is the Internal God. The Human Soul of the Master is now fallen... Many extremely dangerous demons live in the World of the Cosmic Mind! On a certain occasion, we entered a very luminous temple of the World of the Mind. All of us, the investigators, were functioning with our Mental Body. In that temple, there was a venerable group of elders. They were dressed in the robes of Masters. They wore sandals. Their white hair fell over their shoulders in beautiful curls. Their long white beards and their wide foreheads, gave those elders a magnificent appearance. We, the investigators, believed that we were in a Temple of White Magic, before a group of Holy Masters. That was the belief we had! One of those elders pronounced an ineffable speech. He spoke sublime things! He spoke divine things! He spoke of Love, Goodness, Beauty, Charity, etc. Suddenly, the Grand Master began to delicately touch the problem of Sex. And then, in a sublime way he said: “Grow and multiply the sexual act is nothing bad, seminal ejaculation is not bad, it is necessary for reproduction, because God said: “Grow and Multiply!” This and many other terms were used by that venerable elder, to defend seminal ejaculation. It was then that we began to suspect the sanctity of that “saint”. We began to doubt... could this elder be a Black Magician? However, on looking around us, we only saw venerable elders... splendorous light!... Ineffable things... It even seemed a sacrilege to us to doubt this Master and such a sacred place! But the mortifying doubt, in spite of everything, in spite of all our reasoning, continued to afflict us deeply. That was when one of us, wanting to clear up these doubts, stood up and launched these phrases: “Long live the Christ! Down with Jahve! Christ and Jahve are the two antitheses. Light and Darkness! White and Black Magic!... Jahve was that demon that tempted Christ on the Mountain. Jahve is a terribly perverse demon! He is the Chief of the Black Magistracy. When we shout: “LONG LIVE THE CHRIST!” and “DOWN WITH JAHVE!” the black lodge then turns against us, full of anger; Black Magicians adore Jahve! They follow Jahve... That is what happened that night in that Temple in the World of the Mind! When those “holy” men of venerable and august appearance heard that “LONG LIVE”

Esoteric Treatise of Theurgy, 1959

We must watch over the “I” within all of the levels of consciousness, because many loyal and sincere devouts who achieved chastity in this valley of tears became terrible fornicators within the world of the Cosmic Mind. Have you ever meditated even once on the danger of erotic images? Remember that within your mind you have a skilful translator. This translator is the “I”, who always betrays the devouts of the Path. This “I” creates mental effigies, living demons of the Mental Plane. The devouts fornicate with these demons in the Mental Plane. The movie theatres are true temples of Black Magic of the Mental Plane, because the mind creates living effigies, tempting demons which are absolute duplicates of the erotic images that we have seen in the movies or in the newspapers or in pornographic magazines.

Aquarian Message, 1960 also in Lust and Chastity, The Three Traitors

The “I” betrays us in other levels of consciousness. A simple erotic word becomes fornication within the Mental World. An ironic word signifies violence within the Mental Plane, therefore, we need to love, to adore our worst enemies. We need to attain supreme chastity in all of the levels of consciousness, and we need to give even the last drop of blood for this adorable humanity.

Aquarian Message, 1960 also in Lust and Chastity, The Three Traitors

Thus, the organs of the senses of external perception collect the information that comes from the exterior world. Then, the information passes into the cerebral office where the office worker (the mind) analyzes and studies it. Unfortunately, the office worker has always a bad secretary who betrays him. That bad secretary is the “I,” the myself, the ego. For instance, we go to the movie-theater where we watch an erotic movie; there, the office worker within his cerebral suite collects all the perceptions. The office worker studies the movie; he contemplates it; he enjoys himself with it. Thereafter, the secretary, by his own whim, on the sly and in secrecy, plunders the erotic images and reproduces them in Nature’s Mental Plane. This is how these images convert themselves into living effigies of the Mental Plane. Later on, during our normal sleep, the mind, bottled up with the “I,” fornicates with those mental effigies. This is why nocturnal pollutions occur.

Endocrinology and Criminology, 1957

The psychological “I” traps that representation within the depths of the unconsciousness of the mind and elaborates its conceptual content with it. The conceptual content is translated as semi-conscious images within the world of the cosmic mind. These are the effigies of the Mental World. The psychological “I” fornicates and commits adultery with those images within the plane of the cosmic mind.

Endocrinology and Criminology, 1957

When we look at a pornographic image, it injures the senses and then passes to the mind. The psychological “I” intervenes in these things, stealing the erotic image for itself, in order to reproduce it in the mental plane. In the world of the mind that image is transformed into a living effigy. During sleep the dreamer fornicates with that living effigy which, like an erotic demon tempts him for the satisfaction of the lust. The result is wet dreams with all their horrible con sequences. No true devotee of the path should visit cinemas because they are dens of black magic. The erotic figures of the screen give rise to mental effigies and erotic dreams. In addition the cinemas are full of diabolic elementals created by the human mind. Those malign elementals damage the mind of the spectators.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Lust and Chastity

Once, on a given occasion, after having dictated a lecture, a bachelor disciple asked us if it were possible to practice the Great Arcanum with a woman of the Astral World. We answered him that only with a woman of flesh and blood is it possible to awaken Kundalini. Another brother who was also a bachelor wanted to practice with imaginary women! This is very ominous! When the mind creates a mental effigy, this effigy acquires consciousness and converts itself into a tempting demon of the Mental World. During sleep, this effigy discharges us sexually through nocturnal pollutions (wet dreams). It is very difficult for a student to disintegrate those mental effigies. Commonly, the students become victims of those mental effigies that their own mind invented. The best is to find a spouse that will really cooperate in the Grand Opus.

Endocrinology and Criminology, 1957

If a clairvoyant were to study in the Mental Plane the announcements of love of all of those magazines, he then will see houses of prostitution. Each announcement of love corresponds within the Mental World to a horrible mental bedroom of a whorehouse. Every clairvoyant is astonished when seeing those whorehouses from the Mental Plane. A prostitute, lying down, is found within each bedroom of those horrible dens. Men enter and leave from those bedrooms. Each announcement of the magazine corresponds to one of those bedrooms. The woman who placed the announcement is lying down in her bedroom. This is what the prostitution of the Mental Plane is.

Endocrinology and Criminology, 1957

In this present reincarnation when I was struggling for the Fourth Grade of the Power of Fire, and had still not dissolved the ego, I saw on the screen of a cinema the image of an erotic couple. That night in the world of the mind I was submitted to a test in which the couple upon the screen repeated the same scene. The aforementioned scene was reproduced by my mind and seemed to have life, movement. I came out of the test. When I left the world of the mind and passed to the astral world I was harshly recriminated, and I was warned that if I returned to those places (cinemas) I would lose the Sword; that it would be better if I were to study my past lives in the Akashic Records.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Then, he replied to me: “The Master is busy now; he is examining other effigies of the mental world.” Ah! So, that is when I came to realize that I had been with a mental effigy created by myself; I had created it there in the middle of the movie. And that effigy had taken a life of its own in the mental world, it was a woman exactly like the actress I had seen in the movie. In short, I had reproduced it in my poor mind, and now, in the world of the mind, I had found myself face to face with that effigy created by myself. The Master continued examining other effigies of other Initiates. I had no choice but to leave the temple. I returned to my physical body. I was very sad for the entire next day regretting having gone to the cinema. “What a blunder!” I said. “I should not have gone! Look what I have created, a mental effigy!” That is, I was very bitter. I was waiting for the night to come, to see what was decided. I asked for forgiveness fifty thousand million times to the Christ, to the intimate Christ, because –I said– he is the only one who will be able to forgive me for this “huge blunder”.

The Fifth Gospel The Exercise of Self-knowledge

We know that the astral body (do not confuse it with the lunar body), is governed by twenty-four laws and that the physical body is governed by fourty-eight laws. If we create the astral body, then it is clear that we liberate ourselves from the fatal world of forty-eight laws. Thus, we convert ourselves into inhabitants of the world of twenty-four laws. If we create the mental body, then we liberate ourselves from the world of the twenty-four laws. Thus, we enter into the world of twelve laws. Let us remember that the mental world is governed by twelve laws. If we create the causal body, the body of the Conscious Will, we enter into the world of six laws. Thus, we convert ourselves into inhabitants of that world as the body of the Conscious Will (the causal body) is governed by six laws.

The Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Malkuth

How could we explore the regions of Netzach if we do not connect correctly with the superior centers of Being? In order to explore the region of Netzach one needs to have created a mental psychological body; otherwise, it is impossible. No one can create a psychological body if they let themselves be carried away by negative emotions. There would not be enough energy to create an individual mind that would allow us to explore the psychological regions of the universal mind.

The Fifth Gospel Secret Repercussions of the Rings of Alcyone

To be able to explore the regions of Hod or Netzach, one needs to learn to tell the truth and nothing but the truth, and no one can tell the truth when they let themselves be carried away by negative emotions.

The Fifth Gospel Secret Repercussions of the Rings of Alcyone also in Hod

The Solar Mental Body is not a vague, abstract body, it is a body of flesh and bone; but of everlasting flesh which does not come from Adam and which can traverse a wall. It must be fabricated in the Ninth Sphere. The Solar Mental is a body of perfection which eats, drinks, assimilates, digests, has its special foods, its nutrition, its development. In the world of the Mind there are many Temples which must be conquered with the point of the Sword. When one works in the Fourth Initiation of Major Mysteries, one meets with many tenebrous ones, and must fight. When one acquires this body, one receives the grade of Buddha. The Blessed Mother of the World presents the person in the Temple of the Mind saying: “Here is my beloved Son, here is a new Buddha”. She then places upon her Son the diadem of Shiva and the yellow robe of the Buddha. Sanat Kumara, the illustrious founder of the Great College of Initiates of the White Lodge, then exclaims: “You have been liberated from the four bodies of sin and have penetrated into the world of the Gods, you are a Buddha; when man frees himself from the four bodies of sin he is a Buddha”. He then presents him with the Globe of the Imperator which is surmounted by a Cross.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

The fourth serpent transmutes the material mind into Christ-mind. This serpent rises through the spinal column of the mental body. Jesus entered each of the 33 chambers of the mental world. As his fourth serpent rose from vertebra to vertebra, he transmuted his material mind into Christ-mind. Without the fire, it is impossible to christify the mind, and the fire can only be awakened with sexual magic and love.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in The Mind

When the fourth Serpent has succeeded in the ascent through the medullar channel of the mental specter then the fourth Initiation of Major Mysteries is reached. The fourth Serpent also reaches the space between the eyebrows and descends to the heart. In the world of the mind Sanat Kumära always welcomes the candidate saying, “You have liberated yourself from the four bodies of sin. You are a Buddha. You have entered the world of the Gods. You are a Buddha. Everyone who liberates himself of the four bodies of sin is a Buddha. You are a Buddha. You are a Buddha.” The cosmic festivity of this initiation is grandiose. The entire world, the entire universe trembles with happiness, saying,” A new Buddha has been born.” The Divine Mother Kundalini presents her child in the temple saying,” This is my beloved son. He is a new Buddha. He is a new Buddha. He is a new Buddha.” The holy women congratulate the candidate with a sacred kiss. The festival is terribly divine. The Great Masters of the Mind extract from within the mental specter, the beautiful child of the Christ mind. This child is born in the fourth Initiation of Major Mysteries. Everyone who receives the fourth initiation gains Nirvana. Nirvana is the world of the Holy Gods. Whoever reaches the fourth initiation receives the Globe of the Imperator of the Mind. The sign of the cross shines upon this globe. The mind must be crucified and stigmatized in the initiation. In the World of the Mind sparkles the Universal Fire. Each one of the thirty three chambers of the mind teaches us terrible truths.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

By breaking the fourth seal which corresponds to the mental world, the Initiate obviously knows all the mysteries of the universal mind, knows what the seven minds are and has organized them correctly. His mind, in synthesis, has been Christified.

The Fifth Gospel The Seven Minds and the Seven Truths Third Chamber – Mexico City – July 13, 1977

19. There is now the need to steal the fire from the demons of the mental world.

Igneous Rose, 1954

18. It is urgent to deprive ourselves of the guardian of the threshold of the mind in order to become liberated from our animal past. 19. After opening his igneous wings, the Arhat must now pass the ordeal of the guardian of the threshold of the mental world. 20. Have courage, oh warrior, oh fighter. This is a supreme moment.

Igneous Rose, 1954 also in Igneous Rose

The Guardian of the Threshold has a second aspect, the mental aspect. We should know that the mind of man is still not human. It is in the animal stage. In the mental plane each person has the animal physiognomy that corresponds with his character. There, the astute is a real fox. The passionate appear as a dog or as a he-goat etc., etc. The encounter with the Guardian of the Threshold in the plane of the mind is even more frighteningly horrible than in the astral plane. Really the second Guardian is the Great Guardian of the Threshold of the World. The struggle with the second Guardian is usually very horrible. It is the candidate who must invoke the second Guardian in the mental plane. He comes preceded by the horrifying electrical hurricane. If the candidate is victorious, he is received with a warm welcome in the Chamber of the Children in the mental plane. If he fails he re mains enslaved by the horrible monster.
