Retribution

Two Serpents are found in the waters of life: the positive, Solar Serpent which cured the Israelites in the desert; and the negative, lunar Serpent, the Tempting Serpent of Eden, that of the lunar bodies, the bodies of sin. In the middle section is the Wheel of Fortune, or the Wheel of Samsara; the wheel of births and deaths. On the right side arises Hermanubis, evolving; to the left descends Typhoon Baphomet in involution.

1 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978 also in Return and Reincarnation, The Two Serpents

ESOTERIC MEANING OF THE ARCANUM In Arcanum number 10 we find the Wheel of Destiny, the cosmogenic wheel of Ezekiel. Within this wheel we find the battle of the opposites, Hermanubis on the right, Typhon on the left. This is the wheel of ages, it is the Wheel of Fortune, of Reincarnation and of Karma; the terrible Wheel of Retribution - above the Wheel is the mystery of the Sphinx. In the Wheel of Antithesis the two Serpents are in mutual combat. Within this Wheel is enclosed the whole secret of the Tree of Knowledge. The four rivers of Paradise flow from a single source. One of these flows through the dense forest of the sun, watering the Philosophical Earth of the gold of light. The other, tenebrous and murky, circulates through the kingdom of the abyss. Light and Darkness; White Magic and Black, are in mutual combat. Eros and Anteros, Cain and Abel live within us in intense struggle, until, discovering the mystery of the Sphinx, we take up the Flaming Sword. We then liberate ourselves from the wheel of ages.

2 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978 also in Return and Reincarnation, The Law of Opposites, The Two Serpents

Life waves descend afterwards, involuting towards the interior of the planetary organism to go down through the animal and plant scales returning down to the mineral kingdom. The wheel of SAMSARA turns; on the right side evoluting Anubis ascends, on the left involuting Typhon descends.

3 The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution, Return and Reincarnation

In this lesson we are going to study the tenth Arcanum of the Tarot. It is necessary to analyze the cosmogenic wheel of Ezekiel. On this wheel we find the battle of antitheses. Hermanubis ascends the right side of the fatal wheel and Typhon descends the left. This is the wheel of the centuries, of reincarnations, and of Karma. Atop the wheel is the mystery of the Sphinx, clutching the flaming sword between his lion claws.

4 Esoteric Course of Kabbalah, 1969 also in The Two Serpents

The Wheel of Samsara revolves 3,000 times; after this, the Essence, having passed through many purifications and sufferings returns to the Absolute, but without Self-Realisation. In the upper part of the card, the Sphinx, in equilibrium above the Wheel, represents Mother Nature. The Sphinx is the Elemental Intercessor of the Blessed Mother Goddess of the World. In it we will find represented the five elements: WATER AIR EARTH FIRE ETHER the face of man. the wings of the eagle. the feet of the ox. the claws of the lion. the staff.

5 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978 also in Elemental Magic, Return and Reincarnation, The Human Soul

Above the Wheel of the Arcane 10 we see a Sphinx adorned with a crown of nine metal tips. Such an Egyptian figure obviously cannot be encountered either on the right or situated on the left of the great wheel.

6 The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

The Crown speaks to us of the Ninth Sphere, of Sex, of the esoteric work in VULCAN'S FIERY FORGE.

7 The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

This physical world is the valley of bitterness, the kingdom of Malkuth, the kingdom of Samsara. The Wheel of Samsara rotates incessantly and the ego comes and goes, disincarnates and incarnates, always suffering, always searching without finding. The Arcane Ten, the Wheel of Retribution, is terrible; the whole world is a slave of this fatal wheel of the centuries.

8 Aztec Christic Magic, 1973 also in Malkuth, Suffering

At the break of the new Cosmic Day, following the profound night, the Son, the Triad, Horus (the Divine Spirit of each one), emanates from Himself His essence, His mystic principles, and the Wheel of Samsara with the clear purpose of acquiring Diamond Soul. A how great the joy of Horns upon acquiring Diamond Soul! He is then absorbed into His Divine Mother, and She fuses with the Father to form a single diamantine flame, a God of splendorous interior beauty.

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

We are talking unquestionably about the wheel of Samsara, which rotates eternally. All of us, without any exceptions, have rotated many times with this great wheel and if continuous movement is not interrupted, it is due exclusively to the infinite quantity of dispensable elements.

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

With this saying, I want to emphasize the news that we incessantly rotated through successive eternities on the wheel of the Archangel Hariton, that is, on the extraordinary wheel of Samsara.

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

The chakra of Samsara does not turn in the reverse direction. Is that understood? Question: Venerable Master, there exists a belief among those who understand these laws, relating to certain species of animals and we would like an explanation only about the concrete case of crows, rats and other species that are more or less repugnant? Answer: With great pleasure I will answer this question from the audience; without a doubt, there are repugnant creatures of nature that attest to a marked involution. The ancient Egyptians for example, hated rats and it is obvious that the latter are found in a state of frank involution; another case is the state of crows and the latter although they feed on death, because of the fact that they unfold in the Ray of Saturn, they possess certain marvelous powers that indicate evolution.

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

The great Hindu Avatar never said that the chakra of Samsara turns in the reverse direction, that the wheel of the Archangel Hariton processes itself in the reverse, stopping its progress to turn counterclockwise.

14 Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Return and Reincarnation

Ladies and gentlemen, the wheel of the Arcane 10 of the Tarot always follows its course, it never turns back.

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

The Great Reality is the Great Reality, the Tality. The saints and the perverse ones revolve within the great Wheel of Samsara. Therefore, they are very far from the Tality. Nevertheless, we must be very careful with the psychic aggregate of self-merits. The psychic aggregate of self-merits causes us to be newly born in Heaven or on Earth. The psychic aggregate of self-merits removes us far away from the Tality.

16 Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Return and Reincarnation

From the strictly academic point of view the word EVOLUTION means: development, construction, progression, improvement, advance, edification, dignification, etc. Making a clear, orthodox and purely grammatical approach: the term Involution signifies inverse progression, retrogression, destruction, degeneration, decadence, etc.

17 The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

Obviously it is urgent to emphasize the transcendental idea that the Law of Antithesis is coexistent with any crude natural process. This concept of content is absolutely, unimpeachable, unassailable and irrefutable. Specific examples: day and night, light and darkness, construction and destruction, increase and decrease, birth and death, etc...

18 The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in The Law of Opposites, The Law of Polarities, The Law of the Pendulum

The exclusion of any of these two aforementioned Laws - EVOLUTION and INVOLUTION - would give rise to static, quiescent, radical paralysis of natural mechanisms.

19 The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution, The Law of Opposites

To deny then, any of these two decrees in fact signifies a fall into barbarism... There is EVOLUTION in the plant which germinates, develops and grows. There is INVOLUTION in the plant which gets old and slowly decreases until it becomes kindling. EVOLUTION exists in every organism which gestates, is born and grows.

20 The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

INVOLUTION exists in every creature which expires and dies.

21 The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

There is EVOLUTION in every cosmic oneness which emerges from chaos; there is INVOLUTION in every planet in a state of consumption signalled to become a moon, a corpse...

22 The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

There is Evolution in every ascending civilization; there is involution in any descending culture...

23 The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

It is evident that both the afore-mentioned Laws constitute the fundamental mechanical axis of Nature.

24 The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution, The Mechanical Man

The laws of evolution and of involution constitute the mechanical axis of all nature, the silver axis of the wheel of SAMSARA.

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

We have never denied the laws of evolution and of involution; we only clarify them. The evolving and involutive processes correspond exactly to the great wheel of SAMSARA. Such processes could not repeat themselves infinitely in the world of Spirit, because this would immediately mean, perpetual slavery.

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

Evolution and its twin sister involution are two laws which process simultaneously in everything that is created; they constitute the mechanical axis of nature, but they never take us to Liberation; they form the Wheel of Samsara.

27 The Fifth Gospel The Destruction of our Lunar Inheritance Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 1977

I knew well that the Wheel of Samsara turns unceasingly in an evolutionary and involutionary way and that Essences, after passing through the intellectual animal kingdom, descend millions of times to the horrific precipice to eliminate the subjective elements of perception. However, by no means did I long for more abysmal suffering and that is why I was well disposed to make the best of my new cycle of rational existences. By this time the civilization of the aforementioned planet had reached it's peak; the inhabitants of that world had ships, spaceships, gigantic ultra modern cities, powerful industries and commerce, all kinds of universities etc, unfortunately there was no coordination whatsoever with the uneasiness of the spirit.

28 The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution, Return and Reincarnation

Unquestionably without such a basic axis, the wheel of natural mechanisms would not be able to turn. Life flows in waves which rotate with the Arcane 10 of the Tarot... Essential waves start their EVOLUTION in the mineral kingdom, proceed with the plant state, continue on the animal scale and finally reach the level of the intellectual humanoid...

29 The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

After each humanoid epoch, and in accordance with the Laws of Time, Space and Motion, the Wheel of the Arcane 10 of the TAROT inevitably turns; and so it is manifestly clear that the involutive waves of life descend into the interior of the planetary organism only to reascend later on...

30 The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

In matters of Esotericism, orientalism, occultism, etc, scholars have full freedom to write whatever they please; however they should not forget the Golden Book, I mean the "Standard measure": "The Tarot"...

31 The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

No one can with impunity violate the Laws of the TAROT without getting what they deserve; remember that the Law of KATANCIA, the Superior Karma exists... There is responsibility in words... THE DOGMA OF EVOLUTION breaks the cosmic Laws of the Arcane 10 of the TAROT, violates the desiderata of the Golden Book... leads many people into error. Obviously every erudite occultist, all esoterists, must always call on the Standard measures, the Tarot, if they do not want to fall into the absurd.

32 The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution, The Law of Karma

After each humanoid epoch, according to the laws of time, space and movement, the wheel of the Arcanum 10 of the Tarot inevitably turns. Then, it is obvious and manifest that the surges of involuting life descend into the mineral kingdom submerged towards the centre of planetary stability, to ascend again evolutively somewhat later on. Any new evolutive re-ascension from the terrestrial centre of gravity requires the previous disintegration of the Ego. This is the Second Death.

33 The Three Mountains, 1972 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution, Return and Reincarnation

In each one of the multiple cyclic turns of the Samsara Wheel are included multiple Evolutive processes through the Mineral, Vegetal, Animal and Humanoid Kingdoms.

34 The Three Mountains, 1972 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

The crowds evolve and devolve incessantly in the Valley of Samsara.

35 Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The Great Law gives each human being only 108 lives and this reminds us of Buddha’s necklace with its 108 beads. If a person does not know how to take advantage of the 108 beads of Buddha’s necklace, if he does not achieve self-realization in those 108 lives, then he is born in the infernal worlds of nature. Normally, when their time is up, all humans descend to the infernal worlds.

36 The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Return and Reincarnation

At the end of 108 lives, the wheel has made a complete turn. Whilst it rises we observe evolution through the mineral, vegetable, animal and human kingdoms; on falling, it descends via the same route.

37 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution, Return and Reincarnation

The condition of the intellectual humanoid state is excessively relative and circumstantial.

38 The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

We have been quite justly told that any of the humanoid periods always consist of a hundred and eight existences of both the evolutive and involutive type, more or less alternating.

39 The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

To clarify: to each rational humanoid cycle a hundred and eight lives are assigned which keeps deep strict mathematical harmony with the number of beads which form the necklace of Buddha.

40 The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

Justly, we have been told that any one of the humanoid periods always consists of one hundred and eight lives of evolutive and involutive type that are always processed and repeated, be it in an elevated or in a lower type of spiral.

41 The Three Mountains, 1972 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution, Return and Reincarnation

What would become of the Universe if there was no insurmountable obstacle to evil? Obviously, the latter develops infinitely until reigning sovereignly in all spheres. Here it is good to highlight with total meridian clarity, the tremendous reality of the 108 existences assigned to every living essence, to every spiritual divine principle. This comes to remind us of the 108 beads of Buddha’s necklace and the 108 turns that the Hindu Brahaman makes around the sacred cow; it is indubitable that with the last turn he finishes his daily rite; he then introduces the tail of the aforementioned animal in the tumbler of water that he will drink Having understood this, we can continue. It is obvious that the Divine Mother Kundalini, the Igneous Serpent of our magical powers, attempts to achieve our inner self-realization during the course of the 108 existences assigned to each of us. Ostensibly, within such a cycle of successive lives, we have innumerable opportunities for self-realization. To take advantage of them is the indicated thing. Unfortunately, we repeat errors incessantly, and the end result, is customarily failure.

42 Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Return and Reincarnation, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

Obviously, only through the death of the ego is the Liberation of the essence made possible; then the latter resurges, it comes to the planetary surface, to the light of the sun, to begin again a new evolving process within the painful wheel of Samsara.

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

It is clear that with reentry to this state, we are once again assigned 108 existences, that if we do not take advantage of them properly, this will lead us on the descending path of return to the Avernus. In any case, dear brothers, noble ladies, that listen to me, it is good for you to know that each essence, each soul is always assigned 3000 of these cycles of cosmic manifestation.

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

We have repeated in all these talks, to satiation, that each of you is assigned 108 existences. It is clear that once the cycle of successive lives is ended, if we have not achieved the inner self-realization of our Being, we rotate on the wheel of the Archangel Hariton, descending within the submerged mineral kingdom.

45 Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Return and Reincarnation

Everyone who enters the kingdom of the rational homunculi is assigned 108 existences, as we have already stated to satiety, but he who fails, he who does not achieve inner selfrealization within the cycle of existences that are assigned to him, ceases to return or reincorporate in organisms of humanoids and precipitates himself, involuting within the entrails of the earth, in the infradimensions of nature.

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

It is ostensible that when the 108 human lives in each cycle is concluded, then, the time to move downwards into the infernal worlds, into involution, until the Second Death arrives.

47 Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution, Return and Reincarnation

To continue with the present chapter, it is necessary to attract the reader's attention with the objective of asserting the following: after the completion of the three thousand periods of the great wheel, any kind of esoteric Self-Realization is impossible. In other words, it is necessary to declare the inescapable fact that every Monad is mathematically assigned three thousand CYCLES for it's profound inner SelfRealization. It is without doubt that after the last turn of the wheel the doors are closed. When this happens, the Monad, the immortal Spark, our real Being, gathers up it's Essence and its principles to be definitively absorbed into the bosom of that which has no name. (The Supreme Parabrahatman).

48 The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Return and Reincarnation, The Being Is the Being

Those sparks can give no excuse, since the three thousand turns of the wheel are always carried out through many cosmic days and in various universal scenarios which offer infinite possibilities.

49 The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Return and Reincarnation

The original pristine purity of the Essence is restored at the centre of planetary stability. The wheel of Samsara turns three thousand times. If we really yearn for the final liberation, it really is imperative and urgent to understand this, to capture its deep significance.

50 The Three Mountains, 1972 also in Return and Reincarnation, The Human Soul

It is ostensible that the final failure is only for the essences, for the monads that did not achieve self realization in the 3000 cycles or periods of existences. Better said, in the 3000 turns of the wheel of Samsara, since on arriving at the last of these, as I have said many times the doors are shut.

51 Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Return and Reincarnation

To each of these pauses there corresponds an abysmal descent. The three thousand turns of the wheel resound incessantly as a unique whole within the rhythms of the Mahavan and of the Chotavan , that sustain the universe firm on its march.

52 Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Return and Reincarnation, The Laws of the Three and of the Seven

It is obvious that the failed Monads who have not achieved Mastery, possess divine Happiness, but do not have legitimate Self-Consciousness; they are only sparks of the Great Blaze, they cannot become flames...

53 The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Return and Reincarnation, The Being Is the Being

The enjoyment of these Monads is very well merited, because the Essence of each of them has known the horrors of the abyss and turned three thousand times in the wheel of Samsara.

54 The Three Mountains, 1972

Undoubtedly, any essence that has passed through the three thousand cycles of manifestation, has also experimented three thousand times the horrors of the abyss and therefore has become better and acquired self-consciousness.

55 Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Return and Reincarnation

Confusion should be avoided in what we have been saying; it is obvious that of the many, a few aspire to adepthood, to the inner self realization of our Being; unquestionably, these souls transform themselves into true kings of the universe and into terribly divine gods. The masses, after the three thousand cycles of manifestation, return to the Universal Spirit of life as merely happy elementals.

56 Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Return and Reincarnation, Yearning for the Being

In total, there are three thousand cycles. Those souls that in three thousand eons or periods of time do not attain Mastery, after the last Second Death, in the cycle of three thousand, will submerge forever within the bosom of the Universal Spirit of Life, and become simple elementals of Nature. Not Mahatmas, not Hierophants, not Gurus, not Gods, not Angels, but simple elementals of Nature.

57 The Fifth Gospel The Reality and Fantasy of our Psychology Public Lecture – 1976 also in Return and Reincarnation

‘When death arrives, the unique thing that continues is the “I,” the legion of”I’s.” The ego or the “I” returns in order to satisfy its desires. Death is the return to conception. This is the wheel of the Arcane Ten.

58 Aztec Christic Magic, 1973 also in The Many I’s

The Arcanum number 10 of the Tarot is the Wheel of Fortune, is the same wheel of Samsara, the tragic wheel which symbolises the Law of Ancient Return. One must differentiate between Return, Reincarnation, and Transmigration, which are completely different. RETURN Worlds, heavens, the stars, the four seasons return to their original point of life. Throughout the 108 lives of each human being, in accordance with the 108 beads in the necklace of Buddha, the ego returns. When disincarnation occurs, some egos enter the infernal worlds and others return to a new womb; the ego is composed of many entities, some reincorporate in certain plant and animal organisms, and others, in human wombs. And thus, the ego comes to a new organism. Within those egos returns the trapped part of the Buddhata (Essence), which is the Divine and fundamental part. Indubitably, many parts of us live in animal organisms.

59 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978 also in Return and Reincarnation, The Many I’s

Upon returning to this vale of tears, the same is repeated due to the Law of Recurrence; that is, that everything happens again the same as in other lives. The Law of Return is intimately linked, associated, with the Law of Recurrence. That is to say, everything happens again just as it happened, with the addition of its good or bad consequences. The same dramas are repeated; this is called Karma. REINCARNATION Is the descent of Divinity to a man. The incarnation of Vishnu in a man is what is known as an Avatar. Vishnu is really the Christ, the Solar Logos. For this reason in India reincarnation was called the Act of Vishnu. Krishna spoke about this saying: “Only the Devas reincarnate”. TRANSMIGRATION Is when the Being begins to constitute part of the mineral kingdom, after a great length of time evolves to the vegetable kingdom, and later over a period of eternities, rises to the human state where it is assigned 108 lives. If at the end of the 108 lives it has not Self-Realised, involution commences in the submerged kingdoms of the planet Earth. The animaloid, vegetabloid and mineraloid states are recapitulated. In the profundities of the abyss, in the Atomic Infernos of nature, the Essence or Buddhata is purified, is liberated by the disintegration of the ego. And so, the Essence freed after eternities ascends, beginning once again in the mineral kingdom, then the vegetable, the animal, until rising to the human state previously lost. This is the Law of Transmigration of Souls.

60 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution, Return and Reincarnation, The Intimate Christ, The Klipoth, The Law of Karma, The Law of Recurrence, The Words He Uses

Only by awakening consciousness will we know if we are already involuting and returning to begin again. Everything to do with Return and Transmigration is of a lunar nature; only Reincarnation is Solar.

61 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution, Return and Reincarnation

‘Whosoever wants to liberate himself from the ‘Wheel of Samsara has to dissolve the “I” and incarnate his soul. This labor is very difficult and those who achieve it are very rare. Indeed, the kingdom of Malkuth is a terrible filter. The refuse of this filter is what is common and current and this refuse is swallowed up by the Abyss. The gold, the chosen one, the true human being, the angel, is Malkuth’s conception. The struggle is indeed severe.

62 Aztec Christic Magic, 1973 also in Aztec Christic Magic, Malkuth

Christ said: “From a thousand who search for me, one finds me, from a thousand who find me, one follows me and from a thousand who follow me, one is mine”. This is the tragedy of the Arcane Ten of Kabbalah.

63 Aztec Christic Magic, 1973

In fact, the object of the automatic repetition of events is to make us aware of our own errors; that is the law. Unfortunately we can do nothing. Everything is repeated at the correct time, just as the hands of the clock go round. To change external circumstances we have to change internally by forming Soul and Spirit, that is to say processing BEING. Only the BEING can create. Only the BEING can change all things. Whoever wants to possess BEING has to transmute his sexual, emotional, mental, passionate, motor, sentimental, etc. energies. We have to transmute the Base Metals, that is to say, our defects, into the purest Gold of the Spirit. Only in this way will we possess Soul and Spirit. The PLURALIZED EGO has to die. It is urgent that the BEING be born within us. Life in the cellular world is a tremendous repetition of events and we can only liberate ourselves from this tragic wheel of fate by dissolving the EGO on the basis of supreme Understanding and SANCTITY and by forming SOUL and SPIRIT. It is a horrible vicious circle; the Wheel of SAMSARA.

64 The Book of the Dead, 1965 also in Malkuth, Psychological Death, The Law of Causality, The Law of Destiny, The Law of Recurrence

The Solar forces depart from the Law of Return, from the Law of Recurrence. All of this forms part of Arcanum number 10; whilst we do not dissolve the ego, we must continue Returning.

65 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978 also in Return and Reincarnation, The Law of Recurrence

To liberate oneself it is necessary to die; the death of the ego is indispensable; the n one ceases “to return”.

66 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978 also in Psychological Death, Return and Reincarnation, The Law of Recurrence

Only through the Great Death are we able to escape from the great wheel of suffering of this world which is completely impermanent and painful. We must pass beyond the affection we feel for our loved ones; this is something which costs work.

67 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978 also in Return and Reincarnation, Suffering

This world is terribly painful; the only thing which is worthwhile in living is to Self-Realise because all is futile.

68 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978

It is not superfluous to emphasize the transcendental and transcending idea that it is not possible to arrive at the great reality as long as we turn incessantly with the wheel of Samsara.

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

The Gods from nature had worked very much in order to create self-cognizant beings. The Gods have performed difficult experiments within the laboratories of nature. However, it is good to know that the struggle in order to create true human beings has not finished yet. Still, the human being, or the so called human, has to discharge a lot of elements that will be present in the zoological gardens of the future. The kingdom of Malkuth is a terrible filter; whosoever wants to be free of this fatal wheel of Samsara has to dissolve the ego and to incarnate their Soul. Those who achieve it are very rare. The common and ordinary are the refuse of this filter and are swallowed by the abyss.

70 The Mayan Mysteries, 1977 also in Malkuth, The Human Soul

Death does not resolve the fatal problem of the ego. Only the death of the ‘I’ can resolve the problem of human pain, but the ‘I’ loves itself too much and does not want to die in any way. As long as the ‘I’ exists, the wheel of Samsara, the fatal wheel of human tragedy will turn.

71 The Revolution of the Dialectic, 1985 also in Psychological Death, Vanity

If one studies the “Egyptian Book of the Dead”, one sees that it is Isis who is called to put the ego to death. Without the Divine Mother the death of the ego is impossible. The Essence is freed with the death of the ego and becomes lost in Osiris, the Divine Christ. The Essence resuscitates in the heart of Osiris. Where will our feelings, our attachment to things, and our desires be? All that will no longer exist.

72 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978 also in Greed, Prayers to the Divine Mother, Psychological Death, Return and Reincarnation, The Human Soul, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

We have to die in order to free ourselves from the tragic wheel; we have to incinerate the seeds so that the ego may not revive, and bathe in the waters of Lethe and Eunoe; to be confirmed in the Light; to kill Cain who is the lunar mind. That mind is useless, it must be eliminated, it must be put to death because it is the Animal.

73 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978 also in Psychological Death, Return and Reincarnation

For that reason, the ancients saw in the Moon the figure of Cain; the mind was called Cain, and it was the hunter. The mind goes about hunting wealth, social position, fame. The rogues use this mind in order to succeed; they consider themselves to be powerful sages with that well-cultivated lunar animal mind. There exists a figure of a decapitated Angel; the Angel of Samothrace. That sculpture means that after the ego has been dissolved, after having burned the seeds, having bathed and been confirmed in the Light etc., one must pass through the decapitation. The death of the lunar body and the lunar mind is lacking. These two bodies which constitute the Cain are the two subjective elements, those which must be decapitated. Then only Osiris remains, and the Essence which rests in the heart of Osiris. One then has the right to wear the Asp (the serpent) upon the brow, and as is said in the “Book of the Dead”, one may now be seated as the other Osiris are seated and to wear the Serpent upon the forehead. One now has the Verb, has triumphed, one’s powers are not utilised in an egoistic manner.

74 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978 also in The Mind, The Solar Bodies, The Words He Uses

Osiris is the Cosmic Christ. An Osirified man now has the Cosmic Christ, now no longer has subjective elements, has now freed himself from that tragic wheel of lives and deaths wherein is rooted the cause of pain.

75 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978 also in Return and Reincarnation, The Intimate Christ

The most violent struggle in order to attain the elimination of the ego is with the terrible tempting serpent which is the Abominable Kundartiguador organ, the tail of Satan. This is the horrible Python which Apollo wounded with his arrows, it is the antithesis of the Divine Mother, dense and frightening matter, which fights against us.

76 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978 also in The Kundabuffer, The Two Serpents

Whilst we are not within the “Barque of Isis” we serve for nothing.

77 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978

According to Egyptian wisdom, Thoth is Hermes, and Hermes is Mercury; the Great Hierophant, the Minister, the Ambassador of the Solar Logos, the Great instructor who elevates us from Initiation to Initiation. But, who is he within us? He is the “Ens Seminis”.

78 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978

Only by means of the Arcanum A.Z.F. do we liberate ourselves from the Wheel of Samsara.

79 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978 also in Return and Reincarnation

Ostensible this hieratic image is very remote from the evolutive and involutive laws, which are represented on the right and left sides of the wheel, and indicate to us the path of the Revolution of the Consciousness, Real Initiatory Wisdom...

80 The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

Only by entering onto the Path of inner Rebellion, only by separating from evolutive and involutive paths of the wheel of SAMSARA can we become Genuine and True, Real Men.Intransigent exclusion of the Doctrine of the Transmigration of Souls as taught by KRISHNA, the Great Hindu Avatar, imprisons us in the DOGMA OF EVOLUTION.

81 The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution, Return and Reincarnation

Those who want inner self realization with the purpose of avoiding the descent to the infernal worlds should enter the path of the revolution of consciousness; this means separating oneself from the wheel of Samsara and completely setting aside the laws of evolution and of involution.

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

Question: Dear Master, when we intimately self realize ourselves and we separate ourselves from the wheel of Samsara, does this mean that we cease being within continuous movement?

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

Answer: I hear the question from the audience and I hasten to answer with great pleasure. Distinguished gentleman, it is urgent that you comprehend what the continuous movement of the wheel of Samsara is in everyone and each of its aspects.

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

The Final Liberation is obtained only by way of the revolution of the Consciousness. The Wheel of Samsara rotates with the laws of evolution and involution.

85 Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

Arcanum 10: The Wheel of Fortune. This is the Wheel of Samsara. Reincarnation! The incessant transmutation of the sexual force produces the anahata sound. With this sound we can go out in the astral body. When we want to listen to this mystical sound, we first vocalize the mantram “La,” alternating it with the mantram “Ra.” This is done mentally. When the sound is intense we can tranquilly go out in our astral body. And with the Arcanum A.Z.F., we free ourselves from evolution. For the man who has absolutely christified himself, evolution totally ceases to exist.

86 Magnus Opus, 1958 also in Clairaudience, Lust and Chastity, The Keys of Astral Travel

Kabalistically Arcanum number 10 is called the Kingdom or Vital Centre, it is called the Formative Root of all the Laws of Nature and the Cosmos.

94 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978

To form means to conceive intellectually and to later draw or construct. For this reason the 10 is the Formative Principle of all things.

95 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978

The circle with a point in the centre represents the mysteries of the Lingam-Yoni. The Circle is the Absolute, the Eternal Feminine Principle. It is the Yoni from which all universes are born. The point is the Lingam, the Eternal Masculine Principle. The circle with a point is the Macrocosmos. It is through the mysteries of the Lingam-Yoni that universes can be created.

96 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978 also in Ain, Ain Soph, Ain Soph Aur, The Law of Polarities

The circle is receptive; the point, projective. If the point is elongated, prolonged, it becomes a line, divides the circle in two. With the point in movement we then have the Lingam-Yoni, the two sexes, masculine and feminine.

97 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978 also in The Law of Polarities

Removing the line from within the circle we then have the number 10 and also the mantram of the Divine Mother.

98 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978

The whole universe is a product of sexual energy; without the power of creative energy the universe could not be formed. Without creative sexual energy there is no universe; for this reason the 10 is the Formative Principle of all Nature. The circle with the point in the centre can also be expressed as follows:

99 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978

The number 10 teaches us many things. Bearing in mind the circle which is the symbol of the Divine Mother, we can also say that the following symbols are in essence the same.

100 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978

It is said that number 10 is the base, the Kingdom, and that the person who obeys the mandates of this Arcanum sees the return of all things. If the student knows how to obey he will see the return of all things, will be elevated to illumination and will be able to see the ebb and flow of all things because he is an Illuminate. The Kabalah says that we see things in accordance with the extent to which we begin to obey the “10”. In this number “10” are the Principles: CREATION CONSERVATION RENEWAL Here is the Word in its triple aspect. The point within the circle which in movement becomes a line, can take the following forms:

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

All of these dates are very interesting. Day 4 is the 4 Elements. In the 10 is the secret of the Lingam-Yoni. It represents the 10 Sephiroth, and the circle with the line dividing it in half, the mystery of sex.

102 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978 also in The Intimate Christ

From the esoteric point of view, Arcanum number 10 is really transcendental. The circle with a dot in the centre is a totally phallic symbol; the point elongated, becomes a line the Lingam. If we place the line to the left, it forms the number 10; in this number are to be found all of the secrets of the Lingam-Yoni; the laws of irradiation and absorption. It is not possible to attain Intimate Self-Realisation without having worked in the Sahaja Maithuna.

103 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978

This angel told to all of us the following truth: “We are going to save the people of this street in ten days”. We understood that this street is the Street of the just ones, one of the streets of this great Babylon. The ten days symbolize the Wheel of the Centuries, which is the Wheel of Reincarnation and Karma.

105 The Aquarian Message, 1960

“And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.” A tenth part of this great Babylon will fall. Thus, this is how the wheel of destiny will turn and this Great Harlot (humanity) will sink into the abyss.

106 The Aquarian Message, 1960

The number 10 is the wheel of Destiny, the tenth Arcanum of the Tarot.

107 The Aquarian Message, 1960

This beast with seven heads is this fornicating humanity. The ten horns are the wheel of destiny, on which this beast rises up from the abyss and turning, falls again into the abyss.

108 The Aquarian Message, 1960

The ten horns of the tragic wheel will ascend and will descend, they will rotate with the wheel of Compensation. These ten horns ascend from the abyss, they impose themselves and command like ten kings, in order to tumble into the abyss when the wheel of Nemesis (Compensation or Samsara) is accomplishing its fatal rotation.

109 The Aquarian Message, 1960

The Aztec God Xochipilli, god of happiness, music and dance, is found in Netzah. Xochipilli, the Aztec God, always does his negotiations with the Kabbalistic number Ten; this is the ‘Wheel of fortune, the ‘Wheel of reincarnations and karma, the terrific Wheel of retribution. Whosoever wants to invoke this Master must first of all wash their hands with pure water.

110 Aztec Christic Magic, 1973 also in Aztec Christic Magic, Netzach, The Law of Karma

The times of the end have already come, and we are in their midst. The Ten Days have already expired (the wheel of the centuries, the Arcanum number 10).

111 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978 also in The Lover

As for the ten horns, it is not superfluous to remember the wheel of the Arcanum 10 of the Tarot, the fatal wheel of Samsara. That is why it is said that the Great Beast rises from the Abyss and goes to perdition. In front of the Great Beast lies the false prophet: the Ego, the two-horned beast which speaks marvels about the Antichrist.

112 The Fifth Gospel Urgency of the Inner Revolution Message directed to the Gnostic youth – Mexico City – 1975

We have already seen that the 10 comes from the abovementioned symbol, as also the “IO”, which is the mantram of the Divine Mother, giving rise also to the 10 emanations of Prakriti or that is, the 10 Sephiroth of the Kabalah. The 10 Sephiroth are: 1. KETHER: 2. CHOCHMAH 3. BINAH: the Father, the Logos. the Son, Triune. the Holy Spirit, the Sephirothic Crown. This is the first triangle.

113 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978 also in The Eternal Mother Space, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

After the Sephirothic Crown comes: 4. CHESED: 5. GEBURAH: Atman, the Intimus, our Divine Being the Feminine Spiritual Soul, the Buddhi. This is the superlative consciousness of the Being, is the principle of Justice, the Law. When conscience is spoken of, it is Buddhi, the Elohim, who says: “Fight for me in the name of TE-TRA-GRAM-MA-TON”.

114 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978 also in The Consciousness

The 10 Sephiroth are within us, they underlie all organic and inorganic matter. Every human being has them, however it is necessary to incarnate them. The Sephiroth once Self-Realised shine within Atman like precious gems. The Sephiroth form regions where Angels, Cherubim, Powers etc., live. The Sephiroth have their points of relationship with the physical body:

115 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978

These are the points of contact of the Sephiroth with the physical body. The Sephiroth are atomic; they are not atoms of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, they are atoms of a Spiritual nature which belong to occult esoteric and spiritual chemistry.

116 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978

Sephiroth are masculine, and there exist Sephirah, which are feminine. Deep space, the magnetic fields etc., constitute the neutral zone. This one will not find in books, it must be discovered for oneself. I speak to you from the direct mystical point of view.

117 Tarot and Kabalah, 1978 also in The Law of Polarities

Ten Sephiroth are spoken of. However, there are really twelve Sephiroth. The Ain Soph is the eleventh and its dark antithesis, the Abyss, is the twelfth Sephiroth.

140 Esoteric Course of Kabbalah, 1969

The twelve Sephiroth are twelve spheres or universal regions that mutually penetrate and interpenetrate each other without mixing together. The twelve spheres gravitate around the central atom of the Infinity Sign. The solar humanity develops within these twelve spheres. We have already said that the sign of the Infinite is found at the center of the Earth, in its heart. The ten Sephiroth of universal vibration emanate from the Ain Soph, which is the microcosmic star that guides our interior. The true Being of our Being. The ten Sephiroth emerge from the Ain Soph, in this way: First: Kether, the Ancient of Days. Second: Chokmah, the realm of Wisdom. Third: Binah, Divine Intelligence. Fourth: Chesed, the world of the Innermost. Fifth: Geburah, the world of the Soul-Consciousness; the region of severity and justice. Sixth: Tiphereth, the causal world; the realm of will, equilibrium, and beauty. 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. Eighth: Hod, splendor, the region of the astral body. Ninth: Jesod, the foundation, sex; the etheric plane. Tenth: Malkuth, the Kingdom in general, the physical world. Malkuth is a supreme filter—from this region we depart for the Ain Soph or for the Abyss; that is the Law. The Sephiroth are atomic; the ten Sephiroth can be reduced to three tables. First: The table of Quanta: radiant energy that comes from the Sun. Second: The Periodic Table of the atomic weights of the elements of Nature. Third: The table of the molecular weights of compounds; this is Jacob’s ladder that goes from Earth to Heaven.

141 Esoteric Course of Kabbalah, 1969 also in Geburah, Hod, Malkuth, Netzach, The Hermit, Tiphereth, Yesod

All the worlds of cosmic consciousness are reduced to three tables. All ten known Sephiroth come from Sephira, the Divine Mother who resides in the Heart Temple.

142 Esoteric Course of Kabbalah, 1969

The lunar consciousness sleeps deeply; this is the result of a memory that is unfaithful. The human being is only conscious of what he remembers; no one is conscious of the things that one does not remember. The Sinning Adam is memory. He is the “I” that dies and is reborn; this is the lunar consciousness.

143 Esoteric Course of Kabbalah, 1969 also in Fascination, Identification, The Consciousness, The “I” Is Memory

Clairvoyants affirm that the “I” is composed of the atoms of the secret enemy. It is a tenebrous remnant of our lunar past—the larva of the threshold.

144 Esoteric Course of Kabbalah, 1969

Our Gnostic disciples must comprehend that this type of lunar consciousness signifies something to be conscious of and some one who is conscious of it. The lunar consciousness is subject to all kinds of limitations, qualifications, restrictions, reactions, etc. It is the product of matter, the result of one’s racial heredity, family heredity, habits, customs, prejudices, desires, fears, cravings, etc. The Adam of Sin, with his lunar consciousness reincarnates (“so-called” reincarnation), to gain experience in the school of life. These experiences complicate and strengthen the Adam of Sin. The innocent humanity of Eden is now the terrible and perverse humanity of the “atomic bomb” and the “hydrogen bomb”.

145 Esoteric Course of Kabbalah, 1969

Over time and with experiences innocent little children turn into clever old men, distrustful, malicious, miserly and fearful; that is the lunar consciousness. The devil is the devil, and he does not ever perfect himself. The great master H.P. Blavatsky stated, “Make hard thy Soul against the snares of self; deserve for it the name of Diamond Soul.” There are changes in consciousness and changes of consciousness. All of the processes of consciousness give rise to changes in consciousness. Changes in consciousness are superficial and fruitless. We need a change of consciousness. When we dissolve the lunar consciousness the solar consciousness is born in us.

146 Esoteric Course of Kabbalah, 1969 also in The Consciousness

It is necessary for the Adam of Sin to die in us so that the Adam Christ is born within. When we free the solar electronic matter enclosed in the seminal atoms, we brandish the flaming sword.

147 Esoteric Course of Kabbalah, 1969 also in Christmas

Perseus descends to the fiery forge of Vulcan in order to decapitate the Adam of Sin (Medusa) with his flaming sword. John the Baptist is decapitated and Christ crucified in order to save the world. The slaughtering of the innocent children (Initiates) is the repetition of Initiation. The solar consciousness is then born in us. The solar consciousness contains in itself the knower, the knowledge, and the thing known—three in one, one in three. The solar consciousness is omnipresent, omnipenetrating. The solar consciousness liberates man from the fatal wheel of the centuries.

148 Esoteric Course of Kabbalah, 1969 also in The Consciousness

Initiation Avoid those who sell Initiations. Remember, good devotee, that Initiation is your own life. “If you want initiation, write it upon a staff.” He who has understanding, let him understand, for here, there is wisdom. The path of initiation is represented by the life, passion, death, resurrection and ascension of our adorable Savior. Remember that the “I” does not receive Initiations. Do not boast about Initiation. Do not say, “I have so many Initiations,” “I have these and those Powers,” because that is arrogance and vanity. Only the Innermost receives Initiations. You, unfortunate man, are no more than the sinning shadow of the one who has never sinned. Endeavor to die in yourself more and more, so that in you the Son of Man is born.

149 Esoteric Course of Kabbalah, 1969 also in Psychological Death, The Being Is the Being, The Intimate Christ, Vanity

Sexual Cycles Uranus is eight times the size of Venus; it governs the masculine and feminine phases of sex; it has a sexual cycle of 84 years. This cycle is divided into two 42 year periods; one masculine and positive, the other feminine and negative. Uranus is oriented in such a way that it always has one of its two poles pointed towards the Sun.

150 Esoteric Course of Kabbalah, 1969 also in The Law of Polarities

For 42 years Uranus has its positive pole pointing towards the Sun, and for the other 42 years it has its negative pole presented to the Sun. We will now comprehend where the alternating stimulus of the sexes comes from—the marvelous biorhythm of 84 years. The wheel of the centuries turns in periods of forty-two years. During one half of the cycle the masculine sex asserts itself and during the other half the female sex asserts itself. The sexual cycle of Uranus is in accordance with the average human life span. This means that when we have reached middle age the antithesis of the sexual cycle during which we were born vibrates within us. At that time a feeling of sexual stimulation occurs. We will now comprehend why 40 year old men and women are truly ripe and mature to work in the Great Work and why sexual feelings are more vigorous at that age.

151 Esoteric Course of Kabbalah, 1969 also in The Law of Polarities

Light and Consciousness Light and consciousness are two phenomena of one and the same thing; the greater the degree of Christic consciousness, the greater the degree of light. The “Christ Consciousness of the Sun” is gradually being absorbed by the planets… When the planets of our solar system have entirely absorbed the divine solar consciousness, then life, light and heat will no longer occupy only the astronomic position of the sun; at that time the whole solar system will shine as a Sun.

152 Esoteric Course of Kabbalah, 1969

That is the case with the gigantic sun Antares, one million times more rarefied than our sun. In the solar system of Antares the light is not concentrated only in the sun; in fact, each one of the planets has become a sun. The humanities of those planets enjoy solar consciousness; the result of that happiness is the splendors of the solar system of Antares.

153 Esoteric Course of Kabbalah, 1969

Arcane X (10). It is the first hour of Apollonius, the transcendental study of Occultism. The first hour of Apollonius.
