The disciple who wants to enter the narrow, strait and difficult path that leads to the Light has to withdraw from all the flattery of the world. The truth, although harsh, is our best friend.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in Vanity
In these times there are many false Christs, and those who become affiliated to them commit the crime of high treason. Jesus Christ is the Lord of all souls; this great Master lives in Oriental Tibet.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in The Intimate Christ
Do not forget that within the incense of prayer, crime is concealed; that mixed with the perfume of prayers, there is hidden crime.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
The false Christs have sublime appearances. To say that this is good or that this is bad is easy; to know the good in the bad and the bad in the good is very difficult.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
The black lodges are full of sincerely mistaken people. The abyss is full of people of very good intentions.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
Many enter the path and then they no longer want to continue working to fulfill the needs of every good citizen. Those poor beings neglect their duties towards their family, the world and towards themselves. We then hear them say phrases like these, “Money is vain”, “This is the world of Maya (illusion)”, “I am no longer interested in the things of the world”, etc. This is how these poor disciples fail because they do not know how to fulfill their duties. This is how these devotees of the path move away from initiation, precisely because of not knowing how to fulfill their duties as simple citizens.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in Laziness
Our disciples will now comprehend why we say that crime is also hidden within the incense of prayer.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
The one who enters the path should first of all be a model husband, a model father, a model son, a model citizen, a magnificent grandson and a patriarchal grandfather, etc. The one who does not know how to fulfill his duties as a simple citizen cannot tread the path of the great mysteries. Many disciples forget the good manners of the sincere and honorable gentleman and become truly irresponsible and even dangerous individuals. Men who had never stolen, became thieves of books and money when they entered the path. The brothers who enter the spiritualist path steal books, or they borrow them and never return them, etc. Others borrow money from their disciples, they ask for money to be lent to them and then they steal it, etc.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
Under the cover of the word “fraternity” are committed all the crimes mentioned in the penal code. There are those who take the money of others supposedly to do good deeds. There are those who criticize the one who works, supposedly because everything is vanity, etc.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
This is how disciples close to themselves the path that leads to the great mysteries. On the path, there are many brothers who commit adultery, with phrases like these, “My wife is refractory to the spiritualist teachings”, “The other woman I have agrees with my ideas”, “She is the only one with whom I can practice sexual magic to achieve in-depth realization”, etc., and a thousand other mystical phrases. This is how adulterers shut the doors of the temple unto themselves.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in Lust and Chastity
There are many brothers on the path who use sexual magic as a pretext to seduce many naive (female) devotees; this is how these mystical adulterers depart from the altar of initiation and fall into the abyss.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in Lust and Chastity
Sexual magic can only be practiced between husband and wife in legitimately constituted homes.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
There are “little brothers” who steal another’s wife supposedly because that is how the law of karma commands it. All of these crimes have led thousands of spiritualist students to the abyss.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
Unfortunately, the brothers of the path fall into these states of terrible irresponsibility. Some even abandon the most basic laws of urban life and wander on the streets with their clothes dirty and in the most complete untidiness, using spirituality and disdain for the vanities of the world, as excuses. This is called degeneration. This is how the brothers of the path drive away many persons from the path, with their very bad publicity.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
We always dress in a decent manner, not out of pride, or vanity, but simply out of respect for our fellowman. Letting our beard or hair grow, or going around dirty on the streets, is not the system to achieve our in-depth realization. The one who wants to realize himself should begin by being an upright and decent gentleman.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in Vanity
The one who wants to realize himself has to practice sexual magic with his wifepriestess and tread the path of the most perfect sanctity. Many brothers of the path speak ill of their fellowmen and argue like parrots. This is not right. No one has the right to judge anyone, because no man is perfect. Our Lord the Christ already told us, “Do not judge so that you will not be judged”, “With the rod that you measure others, thou shalt be measured”, etc. We do not have the right to criticize the defects of others. Gossip and slander have filled the world with pain and bitterness; calumny is worse than stealing.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in Pride, Slander
Discussions and arguments have put an end to many spiritual schools. When two individuals argue, what they have is pride and haughtiness in the mind; both want to demonstrate their supposed superiority to one another, both have Satan enthroned in the mind. We should always respectfully express our concept and allow our listener the freedom to accept or reject our concept. Each one is free to think as he pleases and we cannot exercise power over another’s mind, because that would be black magic.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in Pride
Intellectual discussion is Luciferic and demonic.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
We need to have the mind of a child in order to be able to enter the greater mysteries. We need to be children in mind and heart.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
We need to be perfect, like our Father in heaven is perfect. One does not arrive at the great mysteries with vain intellectualisms; one arrives at the greater mysteries with a child’s heart. We have known great Masters of the White Lodge who are totally illiterate. Another danger that assails the devotees of the path, is envy.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in Envy
Those who become filled with envy because of the progress of others, become like “Judas” who sell their instructors for thirty pieces of silver. In spiritual schools and lodges, the envious persons look at the clock and ring the bell in order to sabotage the speech of the good speakers and their teachings. This is how crime is hidden within the incense of prayers.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in Envy
This is the path of the razor’s edge.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
A practice
Our disciples should add up their defects and then dedicate one hour to each defect, successively; in this manner they will put an end to all their defects.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
The one who wants to put an end to his defects all at the same time, will not put an end to any.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
This path is very difficult. Christ already said it, “Out of a thousand who seek me, one finds me. Out of a thousand who find me, one follows me. Out of a thousand who follow me, one is mine.”
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
For every step that we take in the development of occult powers, we should take a thousand steps in the path of sanctity.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
The one who wants to enter the great mysteries should abandon the animal-intellect. The animal-intellect is Luciferic and demonic. The Great Masters have the mind of a child. We should live in great fear of God. We should put an end to intellectual pride.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in The Mind
We should have a simple and out rightly childish mind. We should not conceal crimes. Sometimes, disciples send us letters demanding that we dominate the mind of this or that woman for them, supposedly to bring them to the good path. This is how they hide their lust in the incense of prayer.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in Lust and Chastity
This is how they want to deceive the Elder Brothers, demanding of us works of black magic. No one can violate another person’s mind because that is a crime. We must respect the freedom of others. Let us clarify this chapter by saying that one enters the abyss through three doors: Anger, Covetousness and Lust. Anger disguises itself as a judge. Covetousness hides among good intentions. Lust customarily wears a mystical robe.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in Anger, Greed
The spiritualist sisters sit on the lap of the devotees of the path. The brothers of the path use the pretext of innocence to kiss and hug the sisters of the light.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
This is how crime also hides among the incense of prayer.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
Another serious crime is that of ingratitude. A dog is given bread and it is grateful, but many brothers of the path are not grateful. If a legitimate Master teaches them, all that he receives as payment are persecutions, hatred and calumnies.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in Gratitude and Kindness
Others abandon their own mother, their elderly father, saying, “All beings are my family, I do not care about my parents, I am a rebel, etc.” This is how they conceal the crime within the incense of prayer.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in Gratitude and Kindness
There are those who abandon their wife and poor children, supposedly to follow the spiritual life. This is how those wicked persons fall into the abyss of black magic. Others want to unite members of all organizations, supposedly to form the great universal fraternity. Those school monopolizers are the real merchants of souls.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
The slyness of these brothers is so refined that they skillfully place themselves in the center as living units, as Jesus Christs in person. With the pretext of uniting all schools, creeds and religions, they seduce the gullible. In the presence of these tenebrous persons, we have to watch our wallets more closely.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
Gnostics cannot sit at the table of the angels and at the table of demons at the same time; we have to define ourselves.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
The one who wants to enter Eden has to enter through the same door that we exited; that door is sex. There is no other door; we have to enter through the place we exited. School butterflies are the prostitutes of spiritualism.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
Nowadays, it is very dangerous to follow anyone just like that.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
What is best is to seek the Inner Master. The best thing is to follow our “I Am.” The best thing is to learn to travel in the astral body in order to visit the temples of the White Lodge and receive the teachings directly in the temple.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
Initiatic preparation is very rigorous. Disciples should live alert and vigilant like the sentry during wartime. Cleanse your minds; do not let yourself be deceived by the iniquitous ones.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in Awakening, Lying
I advise you, brothers, that you not believe in the miracles of the iniquitous ones; they are deceiving miracles.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
All religions, sects, lodges, schools, etc. are pearls strung on the golden thread of the Divinity and they all contain the universal religious principles, but like Sivananda says, this path is full of dangers within and without. This is the path of the razor’s edge. Almost all spiritualist schools teach how to develop mental force; they all want to fatten the mind. This is how many fall into the Black Lodge; the mind is the donkey on which we should ride into Celestial Jerusalem.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in The Mind
The mind should humble itself before the majesty of the Inner-Self.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
There is much virtue in the wicked and much evil in the virtuous. The saints have also done evils with their virtues. Truly, I tell you, brothers, that even with virtues we can cause harm to others, when we do not know how to use virtues. “Love is law, but conscious Love.” “Complacency with the habit is also a crime.”
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
Many sell initiations. Many confer initiations. All of that is exploitation and black magic. The authentic degrees and the authentic white initiations are received in the consciousness.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
Initiatic ceremonies are realized in the superior worlds.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
Those are intimate things of the consciousness. That is not revealed, or spoken about. No one can give initiations to anyone. Initiation is life itself.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
During these times, everybody wants to be a Master. We say that the Master is only one, the inner Christ of every man who comes to the world. Only he is Master. Only the resplendent ‘I Am’ is Master.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in The Intimate Christ
There are sects where people end up speaking in tongues; the fanatics believe that the Holy Spirit has already entered them. Those are poor victims of demonic entities that possess them. In order to really receive the Holy Spirit, one needs to be pure and chaste, because the one who fornicates, sins against the Holy Spirit.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in Chastity, Lust and Chastity
Those who resolve to cast on their shoulders the heavy cross of Initiation, will find themselves persecuted and even hated by the spiritualist brothers themselves, who live daily, talking about initiation. The spiritualist brothers who hate chastity, despise it because they are wolves dressed in sheepskin. They defend their beloved fornication with the most refined philosophies. When one talks to them about sexual magic, they immediately reject it because for them there is nothing more dear than fornication. If you, my brother, want to cast the heavy cross of initiation on your shoulders, do not let yourself be obstructed by the theories of those strayed souls. All those tenebrous beings crucified Christ.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in INRI and the Cross, Lust and Chastity
In order to be an initiate one needs great equilibrium of consciousness. One needs to cultivate powers but not covet them; aspire to initiation but not covet it; know how to find virtues in the heart of the wicked; know how to find the evil in the heart of the virtuous. People begin to practice sexual magic and then become tired; they fail due to the lack of tenacity and perseverance. One cannot have tenacity without having conscious awareness of what one is doing. One cannot have conscious awareness without first having suffered. This humanity still needs much pain. People want to obtain everything in a single day; rare is the one who perseveres during one’s entire life. People do not yet have moral responsibility.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in Greed, Suffering
People live like butterflies from school to school and that is why they fail. The Gnostic who leaves the Gnostic Movement is a totally “irresponsible person”, an embryo, a fetus without any maturity whatsoever. The mature Gnostic would prefer death before leaving Gnosis.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
To achieve perfect equilibrium between Light and Darkness is to achieve practical adepthood No fanatic could achieve that perfect equilibrium.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
From the great wicked ones are born the great saints. Saints can easily become demons. The one who has already seen the Light is closer to the abyss than the one who has not seen it.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
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 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in Netzach, The Secret Weapon of the Ego
Many initiates are unable to resist those luminous temptations and fail into the abyss. Moses, the great initiate, condemns the spilling of the semen, saying, “And if any man’s seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even. And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even. The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even.” (Leviticus 15: 16, 17, 18.) Therefore, Moses considers unclean the spilling of semen.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in The Secret Weapon of the Ego
The tenebrous ones teach negative sexual magic. They ejaculate the semen during their practice of negative sexual magic.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
Today, that order of the Goddess Kali exists in India. With these tantric cults one negatively awakens the serpent and it descends to the atomic infernos of man. It then becomes the horrible tail of the demons. This is how the tenebrous ones deceive the naive. Those are the deeds of the “Nicolaites which I also abhor.” The Canaanites, the inhabitants of Carthage, Tyre and Sidon, perished with these cults. Atlantis sunk with these horrible practices. Those are the cults with which men became the seven-headed beast of which the Apocalypse speaks about. That is the horrible practice of the Lemurian-Atlantean monsters. Every instructor who teaches the spilling of the semen is a black magician.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in The Kundabuffer
Many of the people who join Gnosis are usually so vain and stubborn that they believe that this is an insignificant school like any other. These poor people are lamentably mistaken, because from Gnosis one is to become an Angel or a Devil. That is the terrible reality of these studies. The one who dedicates himself to the development of powers but does not sanctify himself, becomes a demon. The one who wants to convert Gnosis into a business becomes a demon.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
People are accustomed to thinking in accordance with their interests, vanities and prejudices. When one enters Gnosis, one has to die in order to live. Proud intellectuals are not good for these studies; this is very difficult for them. They want to fatten the mind, and the reality is that we have to kill the mind and then resurrect it totally transformed. Gnosis is a very deep function of the consciousness.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in The Resurrection and Easter
We need to free ourselves from all types of sects, religions, political parties, concepts of country and flags, theories, etc.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
Our Gnostic disciples should be very careful with impostors. We advise disciples to not follow anyone.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
The spiritual path is precisely called the “path of the razor’s edge”; it is full of obstacles within and without. Let us enter the silence of our own heart in order for us to incarnate the Inner-Self.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
We advise disciples to not follow anyone.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
Let them follow themselves. Each one should follow his resplendent and luminous Inner Being. Each person should adore his I Am.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in The Being Is the Being
We pray, supplicate our disciples to not follow us. We neither want henchmen nor followers. We have written this book in order for you, our friends, to listen to your own Inner Master, to your own resplendent I Am. He is your Master, follow him.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
Be careful of so many false avatars who appear during these times.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
Be careful of impostors. Be careful of sexual temptations.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
Never attend spiritualist centers; mediums can easily lead you astray from the path. Many disciples have fallen horribly due to these three dangerous reasons. Flee from these three serious dangers in order for you not to lose your initiations and degrees.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
Esoteric discipline is very demanding. We should not confuse sanctity with sanctimoniousness. The human type of sanctimonious person has filled the world with tears. The sanctimonious fanatic becomes horrified at everything. When a tenebrous, sanctimonious person saw the Mexican sculpture of the Bat God, he said that was black magic. For the sanctimonious person, even the most divine things are black magic. Master Litelantes was criticized by the spiritualist sisters because she did not partake of their hypocrisy. Sanctimonious women hated her because she did not share their parrot chatter, those who talk but not do, and speak of what they do not know. The sanctimonious person only lives visiting from school to school, like a butterfly, and always seated in comfortable armchairs. The sanctimonious person hates sexual magic and lives always filled with fear.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in Fanaticism, Hypocrisy
Jesus Christ was a terrible revolutionary, a very severe Master and solemnly sweet. This is how sanctity is, severe and sweet.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in The Intimate Christ
The authentic saint is a perfect gentleman who totally fulfills the ten commandments of God’s Law and who knows how to wield his sword when necessary, to defend good, truth and justice. The authentic saint never goes around saying it and is always known by his deeds; “By their fruits thou shalt know them.”
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
Arrogant and proud clairvoyants slander their fellowmen and fill the world with tears. The clairvoyant has to be as serene as a lake in Nirvana. The entire panorama of the universe is then reflected on that very pure lake. Upon the turbid waters of a mind filled with reasoning, pride, preconceptions, social prejudices, spiritual platitudes, anger, egotism, etc., only the tenebrous images of the abyss are reflected.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in Anger, Clairvoyance, Slander
Upon the surface of the waters, the inverted silhouettes of the trees are reflected. Every Master of glory also has his shadow in the abyss. When the clairvoyant is full of prejudices, he takes the shadow for reality. This is how the great Masters of the White Lodge have always been slandered by clairvoyants.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in Clairvoyance, Slander
Really, when the imagination is agitated by the tempests of reasoning, the starry heaven of the spirit becomes clouded. The clairvoyant then takes the shadows for reality itself. When clairvoyant bodhisattvas fall, they are worse than demons. The fallen clairvoyant bodhisattva believes he is omnipotent and powerful; he becomes conceited. He confuses things, takes the shadows for reality itself. He slanders the great Masters.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in Clairvoyance, Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition
Esoteric discipline is very severe. The clairvoyant should not go around telling others about his visions because he loses his powers.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in Clairvoyance
The clairvoyant should be humble, serene, obedient, tame, chaste, respectful and moderate in speech, pure in thought and word. The clairvoyant should be like a child.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in Clairvoyance
Really, what is necessary is to know how to live. Goethe said, “All theories are gray, and only the tree of golden fruits which is life, is green.”
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
We warn the curious ones that Gnosticism is not one more insignificant school like many others that they have known. Many become Theosophists and then leave; they then move on to be Rosicrucians and also leave without anything happening to them. They live like butterflies from school to school and nothing happens to them when they change schools. They think that they can do the same with Gnosis; we warn them that the one who enters Gnosis is internally subjected to the terrible test of the Guardian of the Threshold. If he comes out victorious, he enters the narrow, strait and difficult path which leads us to Nirvana. Then follow the degrees, initiations, tests, etc. The higher the disciple is, the more terrible the fall. Those who have not seen the Light, ignore a great deal and therefore, much is forgiven unto them. However, the greater the degree of consciousness, the greater the degree of responsibility. The one who sees the Light and then leaves becomes a demon. Horns have grown on the foreheads of the astral bodies of many bodhisattvas and they have become demons. Therefore, from Gnosis one emerges to be an Angel or a Devil. Many, after a false step, continue roaming in the abyss. In the end, horns grow on them and they become demons.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
That is the terrible reality of Gnosis.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
“He who adds wisdom, adds pain.” Curious persons, stay back!
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
Profaners, stay back! Gnosis is a two-edged sword.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
It defends and gives life to the humble and virtuous; it wounds and destroys the curious and impure.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
Esoteric discipline is really terrible. There are fanatics who commit the most horrible crimes with the mind. If they suspect ill of someone, they cynically attribute it to the Inner-Self. They slander people and then say, “The Inner-Self tells me everything.” They feel anger and then exclaim, “I do not have anger! What I feel are intuitive impulses of the Inner-Self.” They attribute to their Inner God every evil idea, every evil thought. Those people confuse intuition with malice, the voice of the silence with the voice of Satan. We say that the voice of the silence never says atrocities. It is perfect. The voice of Satan only says perversities. In the abyss, the black magicians take up the figure of our friends , and say and do horrible things before the initiate. If the initiate lets himself be deceived by these tenebrous beings, he then becomes a slanderer of others. Slander is worse than stealing.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in Anger, Clairaudience, Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition, Lying, Slander, The Klipoth
Slandering initiates sink into the abyss. Slandering initiates lose their degrees and initiations. In other words, they fall.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in Slander, The Klipoth
The authentic enlightened masters never go around saying it.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
The true disciples arid Masters are those who know how to consciously travel in the astral body. The brothers and sisters who remember their past lives and who can astrally attend the mystery temples, are true enlightened beings. They never go around saying it; they are the ones who really know.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
Those who know how to come out in the astral body, those who know how to settle their accounts in the tribunals of karma, those who receive the teachings directly in the mystery temples, those who remember their past reincarnations, those persons really do know, even if they have never read a book of occultism. Even if they are nothing but poor illiterates in the world, even if they are nothing but poor cooks, or primitive Indians, those are the people who really know.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
We have known others who only sporadically awaken consciousness, from time to time. Those persons are nothing but mere beginners in these matters. What is important is to possess continuous consciousness in the astral plane; that is why we have given exercises and clues in this book.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation also in Awakening
The one who does not know how to consciously come out in the astral body, does not know occultism.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
To read books of occultism, or to beautifully theorize, is done by anyone.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
To have conscious awareness of occult wisdom, is something else.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
True occult wisdom is studied in the internal worlds.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 Ch. 7, Initiatic Preparation
The one who does not know how to come out into the astral world, does not know occultism.
