Every word here is his. Nothing has been paraphrased or improved. Each passage was cut out of the book it belongs to by reference, and each carries that book and the paragraph it came from (and, where he was speaking rather than writing, the name of the lecture), so anything on this page can be found again in the source. Most of these passages also stand in other works of the shelf, chiefly The Solar Bodies, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted and Prayers to the Divine Mother. They are gathered here on purpose: he names the Ninth Sphere in nearly every book, and the same teaching comes back in several of them because hearing it again is how it settles.

The first two parts say what it is: sex, the number nine, Arcanum 9 and the Hermit, and the place in the centre of the Earth that bears the same name: “The Ninth Sphere of the Kabbalah is sex.” “In the centre of the Earth, in the Ninth Sphere one finds this sacred symbol of the infinite.”

The third and fourth are the descent: who must go down, why, how often, and the difference between going down and falling: “Whosoever wants to incarnate Christ must descend into the Ninth Sphere.” “One must differentiate between a fall and a descent.”

The fifth, sixth and seventh are the forge and the work in it: the forge of Vulcan and of the Cyclops, the labour of the couple, the water and the fire: “The work in the Forge of the Cyclops (the sex) is terrific.” “All the work of the Great Work is performed in the Ninth Sphere.”

The eighth, ninth and tenth are what is made there: the solar bodies, the one who is born, and the ego that dies: “These Christic vehicles can only be created in the Flaming Forge of Vulcan” “In the Ninth Sphere the Christ is born.” “The ego must be annihilated in the Ninth Sphere, sex.”

The eleventh and twelfth are the danger: those who refuse it, and the trials and failures of those who work in it: “Woe are those that despised the Ninth Sphere!” “The trials of the Ninth Sphere are very fine and subtle.”

The thirteenth part is what to do: his practices for the one who works in the forge, with the passages that ground them: “In order to work in the Flaming Forge of Vulcan, it is fundamental not to spill the sacred sperm.”

Part One — Sex is in the Ninth Sphere

7 passages

IThe Ninth Sphere of the Kabbalah is sex

The plainest statement comes first, in nearly the same words across his books: the Ninth Sphere is sex. It is also the ninth door of the Holy City, the door by which humanity left Eden and the only one by which it can enter again, and a subject many people still refuse to hear.

PART ONE

a sacred city of nine gatesThe ninth door is sex
This Holy City is the human being, and the Ninth Sphere or the ninth door is the sex.

This Holy City is the human being, and the Ninth Sphere or the ninth door is the sex. The fornicators have tread under foot the Holy City for forty and two months.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in Lust and Chastity, The Words He Uses

Humanity was also in the maternal womb of Rea, Cibeles, Isis (Nature) for Nine Ages. Now we can explain why we call Sex the Region of the Ninth Sphere: The Lit Forge of Vulcan is consequently, at the bottom, the Ninth Sphere.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959

The Kabbalists speak to us about the Ninth Sphere. The Ninth Sphere of the Kabbalah is sex.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Love, Love — The Two Halves

When the cerebrum and sex bala nce each other mutually we realize ourselves intimately. All creatures that exist on the face of the Earth. have been created in accordance with this holy symbol of the infinite; now I will explain to you why sex corresponds with the ninth sphere.

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

The Path that conduces the Initiate to the final Liberation is absolutely sexual. Sex is in the Ninth Sphere. It is really the Ninth Sphere.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

One occult phrase declares that “you can only leave through the same door whereby you entered.” We left Eden. Eden is sex itself. Only through the door of sex can we enter Eden. After having accomplished its entire process of gestation and arriving in its time, the fetus leaves through the same door at which the seed entered. That is the Law.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah

If one tries to teach them about the Ninth Sphere, the sex, then no, they do not want anything about that; that is a sin, a taboo, I don’t know what else, harmful to the organism.

IINine is the Kabbalistic number of the Ninth Sphere

The symbolic numbers of the Apocalypse, 144,000, 1,260 and the wall of 144 cubits, all reduce by Kabbalistic addition to nine, and each time he reads the nine as the Ninth Sphere, sex. The Son of Man is born there, the two witnesses of the Apocalypse are rooted there, and the ninth hour of the crucifixion is read the same way.

“And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.” By Qabbalisticaly adding the numbers to themselves we have the number nine. 1+4+4=9. NINE is the Ninth Sphere (the sex). Only those who have attained absolute chastity will be saved. Presently, in this year of 1958, on the fifth of September, a great tempest is approaching. The sky is filled with black and threatening clouds which are illuminated by lightning. A cold, deadly breeze blows everywhere. All of us have been crying greatly. We have beseeched a holy and all mighty vigilant, we have begged him, we have made him business proposals in order to conjure the terrible tempest which is approaching this poor suffering humanity in a most dreadful way. We have asked for a clue in order to conjure this tempest. Nevertheless, all has been in vain.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in Lust and Chastity

The Qabbalistic quantity 1,260, breaks down in this way: 1+2+6+0= 9. Certainly, 9 is the Ninth Sphere, the sex.

The Qabbalistic quantity 1,260, breaks down in this way: 1+2+6+0= 9. Certainly, 9 is the Ninth Sphere, the sex.

from The Aquarian Message, 1960

The Son of Man is born from within the fire and the water of the Ninth Sphere. It is here in this Ninth Sphere where every woman who has achieved the esoteric degree of Virgin is preserved for a thousand, two hundred and threescore days.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

The number, one hundred and forty-four thousand of those who have their Father’s name written on their foreheads, is a symbolic and Qabbalistic quantity. 144,000 is broken down in the following way: 1+4+4 = 9. This number nine, is the Ninth Sphere (the sex). To receive the name of the Father on our foreheads and to be saved is only possible with the Great Arcanum.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

The Mount of Sion is the Superior Worlds, the numerals are a symbolic quantity which kabalistically break down as follows: 1 + 4 + 4 = 9. Nine is the Ninth Sphere, sex. Only with the Great Arcanum can we be saved and receive the Name of the Father on the brow. Sion is the people, the spiritual people of God. This people comprises all those who practice Sexual Magic, (People of Chastity).

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Lust and Chastity

Referring to the New Jerusalem, it is said: “And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.” (Apocalypse 21.17) 144 = 1 + 4 + 4 = 9, sex. The 9 is the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. We remain nine months in the maternal womb. Only in the Ninth Sphere can the Son of Man be born. There has never been an angel who was not born in the Ninth Sphere. He who wishes to cut off the head of Medusa (the “I”) must descend to the Ninth Sphere.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Continuing with new additions we would arrive at the following synthesis: 1 + 8 = 9, the ninth sphere, the ninth Dantestic circle.

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

Now from the sixth hour (temptation) there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. (Ninth Sphere. Adding up kabbalistically we have 9 plus 6 equals 15. This is the Arcanum of Tiphon Bahomet: the Devil. Such an esoteric value corresponds to the constellation of the Whale, under whose cosmic influence the Initiate develops until reaching the Resurrection. Let us remember the signal of Jonas).

The Three Mountains, 1972 also in The Intimate Christ

Nine is the Kabbalistic number of the Ninth Sphere.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Now then, the number: 1,260. Adding this number kabbalistically we get: 1 + 2 + 6 + 0 = 9 (Symbol of the Ninth Sphere).

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah

The Ninth Sphere is sex. And the two witnesses are rooted in sex. These two witnesses, Ida and Pingala, are the fine ganglionic channels through which the solar and lunar atoms of our seminal system ascend to the Chalice. That Chalice is the brain.

IIIThe teaching of the Ninth Sphere must be demonstrated

In Tarot and Kabalah the same arithmetic becomes a method. The thirty-six liberators, the 72 gates and the 22 Arcana all lead back to the Ninth Sphere, which is why the teaching is demonstrated through the Kabbalah, the language of the White Lodge.

KETHER: The Ancient of Days, the hidden of the hidden, the good of the good. He has thirty-one ringlets, and his beard has thirteen curls. Thirteen symbolises the Verb, the Word. About him wonders have been spoken. By means of Samadhi (ecstasy) one may meet with him in order to receive his commands. He is infinite mercy, complete wisdom. CHOCHMAH: The Christ, Love. The Christ awaits the day that the disciple will work in the Ninth Sphere, and prepares him with infinite love. The instructor of the world is Love.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Kether

The thirty six Bolivars, San Martines or Morelos are the liberators. 3 + 6 = 9; the Ninth Sphere, sex, the work with the Lance. They are thirty six basic fundamental works. The thirty two kilograms by thirty two ways; the Pentalpha.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

All the work is of the Ninth Sphere. This is the kabalistic language which is used in the White Lodge. Don’t forget that the additions in themselves are kabalistic additions. One must be totally practical.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

The 22 Arcana in their essence pertain to the Ninth Sphere. The Amphitheatre of Eternal Wisdom is in the creative organs given that all life comes from here. In the Garden of Delights of Alchemy we find the word VITRIOL ; this word is to be found in the Alchemical treatises and ancient tractates of Kabalah.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

The number 6 has 72 gates on each side and 72 intermediates. The Initiate who traverses those 72 Gates is able to enter the world of the crude reality of life and the Sidere. The world of crude reality is the Ninth Sphere because 72 Gates = 7 + 2 = 9. If we understand what the 72 Gates are, if we know what the Great Arcanum is, we can enter the world of the crude reality of life and the “Mundo Sidere”, which is the astral world. It is very interesting that the number 6 has 72 Gates on each side and 72 intermediates; we find the explanation in the Star of King Solomon.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

The 6 having been explained in a transcendental kabalistic manner, it will now be clear to you why one enters the world of crude reality whilst comprehension unfolds. It is due to this that people are horrified should they encounter the Arcanum A.Z.F. in a categorical and public manner. The teaching of the Ninth Sphere must be demonstrated by means of the Kabalah, so that people may know the truth.

IVMasculine and feminine principles of the Ninth Sphere

These passages name what meets there. Shiva and Shakti are united in Jesod, the ninth Sephirah; the active and passive principles complete each other in the Ninth Circle; and the Sphinx's crown points to the work in Vulcan's forge.

Daath, the Hebrew Sephiroth of mystery is formed by the esoteric con junction of ShivaShakti, Osiris-Isis, who are perpetually united in Jesod, the Foundation, the Ninth Sephiroth, the Ninth Sphere, sex; but which is hidden by the Mystery of Daath which holds Tantric Knowledge. This knowledge is realised with the Sahaja Maithuna or Sexual Magic, which when correctly used, permits the Intimate Self-Realisation of the Being. It is necessary that we all reflect profoundly, that we comprehend all this in depth. He and She are united in the Cubical Stone of Jesod, which is sex. From the union of He and She arises perfect Tantric Knowledge, with which we may Self-Realise internally in all of the levels of the Being.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Daath, Yesod

Such a symbol clearly expresses the masculine and feminine principles of the Ninth Sphere...

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970 also in The Law of Polarities

It is unquestionable that the active principle of irradiation and penetration complement each other in the Ninth Circle with the passive principle of reception and absorption... The Biblical Serpent presents us the image of the Creator Logos or sexual force which starts its manifestation from the potential latent state.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

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

VBorn of water and fire in the Ninth Sphere

As above, so below: the human being, the Milky Way, the solar system and the light of the sun are all said to come from water and fire in the Ninth Sphere. The Cosmocrators themselves worked in the Forge of the Cyclops at the dawn of a universe.

The Milky Way is a living organism which was born of water and fire in the Ninth Sphere. Those who suppose that the galaxies, including the Milky Way, had their origin in an explosion of some primitive atom are mistaken.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

There is an esoteric maxim which says, “As above, so below.” If this small microcosmic galaxy called man had its origin in the Ninth Sphere, in sex, we can deduce logically, without fear of deception that we must look for the origin of our galaxies and all other galaxies in the Ninth Sphere, in sex.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in The Law of Correspondence

The Temple of Wisdom is found in the Ninth Sphere; the Temple of Wisdom is to be found in the phallus and the uterus.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in The Words He Uses

It is impossible to experience the truth concerning the origin of the galaxies if we do not enter the Ninth Sphere (sex). The Word fertilizes the waters of chaos in a sexual marriage at the dawn of life. Thus are galaxies and worlds born.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in The Law of Correspondence

In reality, the Ors Solar System is a living cosmic creature who was born many millions of years ago in the ninth sphere (sex).

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in The Words He Uses

The Ors Solar System will become more and more radiant as people increasingly awaken consciousness. The Ors Solar System is Adam Kadmon, the Celestial Man, born of water and fire in the Ninth Sphere (sex).

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

In this way, the sexual cycle of carbon ends. The solar light is sexually created in the Ninth Sphere (sex). The great solar light is the chemical and mathematical result of the various sexual-atomic processes of carbon.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

The Universal Mercury exists. The Cosmocrators had to work in the Forge of the Cyclops —sex— at the beginning of the Mahamanvantara; this is not comprehended by the followers of Hegel’s Dialectic of Nature.

VIEvery authentic white Initiation begins here

Because worlds, beasts, human beings and Gods are gestated in the Ninth Sphere, every genuine initiation starts there. The great founders of religion had to descend into it, and the Mayan stone says Christification is reached by no other work.

1 + 4 + 4 = 9. To descend into the Ninth Sphere (sex) in order to work with water and the fire is necessary. This is the source of worlds, beasts, human beings, and Gods. Every authentic white Initiation begins here.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

We write this quantity in the following way: 1,260, and if we make the Qabbalistic addition of the numbers among themselves, we have the following result: 1+2+6+0 = 9. Nine is the Ninth Sphere. This Ninth Sphere is the sex.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

The great Master HILARIUX IX said that in ancient times, to descend into the Ninth Sphere was the maximum ordeal for the supreme dignity of the Hierophant. Hermes, Buddha, Jesus Christ, Dante, Zoroaster, Mohammed, Rama, Krishna, Pythagoras, Plato and many others, had to descend into the Ninth Sphere in order to work with the fire and the water which is the origin of worlds, beasts, human beings and Gods. Every authentic white Initiation begins here.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

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

The Mayan Mysteries, 1977 also in Entropy and Sacrifice

If the human being does not work in the flaming forge of Vulcan, he will never reach Christification. No book can express what this representation in stone is saying. It is extraordinary, unique.

The Mayan Mysteries, 1977

In every temple of the White Lodge the water of life is present, the origin of worlds and beasts, men and gods. Eden is a sacred city of nine gates. The ninth door is sex; the ninth sphere of the Kabbalah is sex. Buddha, Jesus, Hermes, Mohammed, Dante, Pythagoras, Zoroaster, etc., had to descend to the ninth sphere in order to work with the fire and the water, origin of worlds, beasts, men and gods. All authentic white initiation begins there.

IArcanum number 9 is the Hermit, Solitude

In the Tarot the Ninth Sphere is the ninth card, the Hermit. Behind its solitude and its hidden cross stands sex, and the hermit's lamp, kept in the caverns of the sexual organs, is to be raised to the tower of the brain.

The nine spheres of atomic vibration are concentrically focused in this atom of the Genie of Earth.

When Gnostic matrimonies want to give a physical body to a great Master of the White Lodge, then they must inevitably descend to the ninth sphere with Arcanum number nine of the Tarot. That Arcanum is sex. The mother of the child of wisdom must prepare herself for a period of nine months before she can create with the power of KriyaShakti. During this period of time, she must pray a lot to the Divine Mother, begging her with all her heart and with all her soul to give her the joy of conceiving in her womb a great Master, in order to help humanity. The preparation is for nine months; nine months of chastity, saintliness and meditation before she can perform the secret act with her husband.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in Chastity, Lust and Chastity, Prayers to the Divine Mother, The Yellow Book, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

The lamp of the hermit of the Ninth Arcanum, which is normally found enclosed in the deep caverns of the sexual organs, must be placed in the tower of the Temple. This tower is the brain. Then we become illuminated. That is the truly positive path that transforms us into Masters of Samãdhi (ecstasy).

The lamp of the hermit of the Ninth Arcanum, which is normally found enclosed in the deep caverns of the sexual organs, must be placed in the tower of the Temple.

from The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

Arcanum number 9 is the Hermit, Solitude. This Arcanum in its more elevated form is the Ninth Sphere, “Sex”.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

In Arcanum number 7 we find the Chariot, emblem of Triumph. Arcanum number 8 is Justice, emblem of the force balanced in all directions. Arcanum number 9 is the Hermit, it is the emblem of the Hidden Cross and the search for it. All aspirants seek it, but we know that at bottom, it is the Ninth Sphere, sex.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

The eagle of volatility in the earthly Adam is dominated by the crow of putrefaction. The Moon goddess lifts a white swan above his head. We must whiten the crow with sexual transmutation, until it turns into the immaculate swan of ascension. All of the symbolism of the Great Work is enclosed in the Ninth Key. One cannot work with the Sephirothic tree without being an alchemist and a kabbalist. The sage of Arcanum nine must look for the treasure in the Ninth Sphere. It is necessary to study the theory and work with the grain. “Practice without theory cannot exist.”

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah also in Lust and Chastity

Arcanum 8: The Arcanum of Job. Tests and pain. The Tests of Initiation are very terrible! One needs great patience in order to not fall into the abyss! We are tested often! Arcanum 9: The Hermit. This Arcanum is the Ninth Sphere: sex. And the descent to the Ninth Sphere was, in the ancient temples, the maximum test for the supreme dignity of the Hierophant. Hermes, Buddha, Jesus Christ, Zoroaster, Dante, etc., and many other great Initiates, had to descend to the Ninth Sphere, in order to work with the fire and water, origin of worlds, beasts, men, and Gods. All authentic White Initiation begins there... In the ninth stratum of the Earth we find the Infinity Sign. This sign has the form of an 8 (eight). In this sign are symbolized the brain and sex of the Genie of the Earth. The struggle is terrible; brain against sex, sex against brain, and that which is most terrible, heart against heart!

IIArcanum 9 is the Ninth Sphere, Initiation

The same Arcanum is also read as Initiation and as the Hidden Light that appears in it. It points to the nine circles below and the nine heavens above.

Arcanum number 9 clearly indicates the 9 circles of the Atomic Infernos of Nature and the 9 spheres of the 9 Heavens. This Arcanum also indicates the 9 planets represented in the 9 spheres of the planet Earth.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Arcanum 9 is the Ninth Sphere, Initiation.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Whilst Arcanum number 9 is the Hidden Light which manifests in the Initiation, which revitalises the powers, in order to be able to see this Light, one must become a Master, and it is clear that every aspirant must attain Mastery.

IIIIn this Arcanum the Ninth Sphere is repeated twice

Arcanum 18 holds the nine twice, so it shows sex in its two aspects, positive and negative. Light and shadow, white and black magic and the hidden enemies of the initiate belong to it.

In summary, the eighteenth and the ninth Arcanums are contained in the number 666: The eighteenth Arcanum is the abyss, darkness. It is sexual temptations, which the initiate must fight against. The ninth Arcanum is the Ninth Sphere (the Initiation).

The Aquarian Message, 1960

Adding separately each of these kabbalistic quantities, we obtain the following results: 45: 4 plus 5 equals 9. The Hermit of the Tarot, the Ninth Sphere, the Sex.

The Three Mountains, 1972

18: 1 plus 8 equals 9. The Arcanum 18 is the Twilight of the Tarot. It includes the Arcanum 9 twice: it implies the secret, occult enemies; the underground fight in the domains of the Ninth Sphere, the dark...

The Three Mountains, 1972

We are now going to study the eighteenth Arcanum of the Kabbalah. This is the Arcanum of the twilight. It is necessary that our Gnostic disciples reflect deeply on the esoteric content of this Arcanum. We have been strongly criticized because we do not continue on with the same old already well-known Hebraic tradition. Certainly we do not want to stick to the same old monotony. We are interested in that which is called comprehension. We want our students to comprehend each Arcanum and develop it in themselves. We want our disciples to discover each Arcanum, first within themselves and then in all of Nature. Arcanum 18 is light and shadow, white magic and black magic. On the 18 card appear a dog and a wolf howling at the Moon. We also see two pyramids on this card, one white and the other black. The symbol of the crab is also present in this Arcanum. In Arcanum 18 the number nine is contained twofold; 9 + 9 = 18. In this Arcanum the Ninth Sphere is repeated twice. We already know that the number 1 is positive and that the number is 2 negative. So if we repeat the Ninth Sphere once, and then twice, we will have sex in its two aspects: positive and negative.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah also in The Law of Polarities

Arcanum 18: Twilight of the Moon. Arcanum 9 is Initiation. Arcanum 18, two times nine, is the dangers of Initiation, the hidden and secret enemies who intend to spoil the Initiation: the Black Lodge, the Abyss, Temptations, Demons… that do not want the Initiate to escape from their claws. This is the Path of the Razor’s Edge! This is the Path that is full of dangers from within and from without, as the Venerable Master Sivananda says.

IVThe ninth circle being in the centre of the Earth

The Ninth Sphere is also a place. Nine infernal circles run down through the planet to its heart, matched by nine heavens above; Dante met Lucifer at the bottom, the sepulchre of Hiram lies there, and the Forge of Vulcan is set in that Inferno.

Remember beloved reader that Lucifer lives in the center of the Earth, in the Ninth Sphere, in the depth of the Universe.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

Arcanum number 18 is light and shadow, white magic and black magic. This is represented by the black dog and the white dog; the black pyra mid and the white. By adding kabalistically Arcanum 18 we find that 1 + 8 = 9, the Ninth Sphere, sex. We have already said that within our planetary organism there are 9 interior strata; these are the 9 vaults of occult Masonry. The ninth corresponds to the nucleus of the planetary organism, and there is the sepulchre of Hiram Abiff or Chiram Osiris who is the intimate Christ of each one, of each person who comes to this world.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Intimate Christ

This is very interesting; there exist 9 infernal circles within the interior of the Earth. From the epidermis of the Earth to the interior we can say that there are nine parallel infernal universes, which go to the very heart of the Earth; the ninth circle being in the centre of the Earth. These nine circles are the 9 demonic or diabolic regions. Nine superior circles also exist which in occultism are termed the 9 heavens. We can represent these 9 heavens with the 9 planets.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Klipoth

The Florentine Dante, illustrious disciple of Virgil, the eminent crowned bard from Mantua, finds in the right moment Dis, Prometheus-Lucifer in the Ninth Sphere. This is obviously in the center of the earth, in the profound well of the universe, the place “where the souls were all covered underneath, transparent, as through glass Pellucid the frail stem.”

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970 also in Lucifer

The Inferno is found situated within ourselves and within the womb of the Earth. Paradise is found situated within the Being and in the superior dimensions of the world. We can gain the right to enter into Paradise only by working in the Flaming Forge of Vulcan, which is situated in the Inferno and within the august darkness of No Being. The Inferno is the womb of Heaven.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The sign of the Infinite is in the center of the Ninth Sphere. The Earth has nine atomic strata. In the ninth stratum the sign of the Infinite is found. The Nine Initiations of Minor Mysteries correspond grade by grade to each one of these nine strata of the earth. Each Initiation of Minor Mysteries grants us access to each one of those nine terrestrial strata. Only those who have received the Nine Initiations of Minor Mysteries can reach the heart of the Earth.

VIn the ninth is the laboratory of the Third Logos

The ninth stratum, at the centre of the planetary mass, holds the laboratory of the Third Logos and the coiled Sacred Serpent. The brain, heart and sex of the Genie of the Earth are figured there, and their struggle is repeated in every creature.

The Earth has nine strata and in the ninth is the laboratory of the Third Logos. Actually the ninth stratum of the Earth lies exactly in the centre of the planetary mass. There resides the Holy Eight. This is the divine symbol of the infinite. In this symbol is represented the brain, heart and sex of the planetary Genie. The name of this Genie is Chamgam. The centre of the Holy Eight corresponds to the heart, and its upper and lower extremities, to the brain and sex respectively. All beings of the Earth are structured on this basis. The struggle is terrible; brain against sex, sex against brain, and that which is most terrible, that which is most grave and painful; heart against heart.

In the Ninth Sphere or ninth stratum of the Earth, in the centre of the Earth, in the very heart of the Earth, the resplendent sign of the Infinite is found. This sign has the form of an eight. The sign of the Infinite is the Holy Eight. The Heart, Brain and Sex of the Genie of the Earth is represented in this sign. The secret name of the Genie is Changam. The Zohar clearly tells us that in the depth of the Abyss lives Adam Protoplastos, the differentiating principle of Souls. We have to pit our selves against that principle in a fight to the death. The battle is terrible; Brain against Sex, Sex against Brain and that which is most terrible and most painful; that of Heart against Heart.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Elemental Magic

Arcanum 18 added kabalistically is 1 + 8 = 9, the Ninth Sphere, sex.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Esoteric traditions affirm that the Earth has 9 strata or subterranean regio ns; clearly in the ninth stratum is that which we could call the planetary nucleus, which is of an extraordinary density. The kabalists say that the sign of the Infinite is in the centre of the Earth; it is obvious thatwithin the heart of the Earth its vit al energies circulate. It is for this reason that the kabalists affirm that in the centre of the Earth one finds the brain, heart and sex of the Genie of the Earth, which is the Planetary Genie. The organisation of all creatures is constructed upon that model; that is to say, within us also. The struggle is terrible, brain against sex, sex against brain, and that which is worst of all, heart against heart.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Elemental Magic

The Ninth Sphere is sex. The Ninth Sphere corresponds to sex in the center of the Earth. In the center of the Earth there is a “Holy Eight” placed in a horizontal way and it is of pure gold. There lie the brain, the heart and the sex of the planetary Genius. All the forces that flow in this planet Earth are organized according to the Holy Eight.

VIThe Holy Eight gloriously shines in the center of the earth

At the heart of the Ninth Sphere lies the sign of the Infinite, an eight said to be of pure gold, along which the fire of Phlegethon and the water of Acheron circulate. To work in the Ninth Sphere is what that sign means.

The symbol of infinity is an esoteric symbol that can only be known through esotericism. Great initiates say that this symbol is made of pure gold and is found in the exact center of earth in the Ninth Sphere.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

The Sign of the Infinite within which the Brain, Heart and Sex of the Genie of the Earth is represented, is discovered by every Esoterist within the interior of the Planetary Globe in the Ninth Circle.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

In the centre of the Earth, in the Ninth Sphere one finds this sacred symbol of the infinite. All organisms revolve around this symbol, just as within the human body of one who wishes to Self-Realise there is al ways an eternal struggle: “brain against sex”, “sex against brain against heart”. If sex dominates brain it leads to the fall and the Pentagram (representing the Master) rests with the lower extremities facing upwards and the head facing downwards.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

The number 8 is the number of the Infinite. The vital forces of the Fire of Phlegethon and the Water of Acheron circulate, intertwining in the Ninth Sphere in the heart of the Earth in the form of an eight. The sign of the Infinite is also formed within the spinal column. The sign of the Infinite means to work in the Ninth Sphere, and this indicates the sex. Arcanum number 8 is a woman with a sword in her hand before the Balance of Cosmic Justice. Really only she can present the Sword to the Magician. Without woman no Magician is able to receive the Sword. There is Eve-Venus the instinctive woman, Venus-Eve the woman of the home. There is Venus-Urania, the woman initiated in the Great Mysteries. And finally we affirm the existence of Urania-Venus, the Woman Adept, the woman who is the fully realised woman.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

The relationship between the 2, 5 and 8 is extraordinary; the Caduceus of Mercury or sign of the Infinite is to be found in the Ninth Sphere.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Number 8 is the primordial Water because it is located in the Ninth Sphere, in the planetary cerebrum.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

The double vital current sustains and nourishes the entire planet Earth. All living beings are organized according to this divine archetype. There is a divine atom in the center of the sign of the Infinite. The nine spheres of atomic vibration are concentrically focused in this atom of the Genie of Earth. The Holy Eight gloriously shines in the center of the earth.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah

In the center of this Holy Eight is the central atom where the nine spheres of universal vibration are focused. That is the Law.

Part Three — We must descend into the Ninth Sphere

10 passages

IAll authentic white initiation begins there

Book after book repeats one formula: the initiate has to go down into the Ninth Sphere, sex, to work with the fire and the water from which worlds, beasts, men and gods come, and every real initiation starts there. The later books add that this descent is indispensable, made either willingly for self-realization or blindly by the masses into perdition.

PART THREE

Lasciate ogni speranza voi ch’entrate.Abandon all hope, all ye who enter here.descend into the Ninth Sphere
At the terrible portico of the Ninth Sphere is written the phrase that closes the way to the profane

We need to descend to the Ninth Sphere (sex) to work with the fire and the water, the origin of worlds, beasts, men and gods. All authentic white initiation begins there (sex). We need to be born of water and fire. We need to raise the Son of Man within ourselves.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in The Three Factors

The struggle is terrible: “brain against sex, sex against brain, and heart against heart.” We must tame and raise the serpent of metal upon the staff as Moses did in the wilderness. We must descend into the Ninth Sphere (the sex) in order to work with the fire and the water, which are the origin of worlds, beasts, human beings, and Gods. Every authentic white Initiation begins here. The key of all power is found in the union of the phallus and the uterus.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

One hundred and forty and four thousand are the christified Saints, that is to say, we must wash our feet in the Waters of Renunciation. This signifies supreme chastity, supreme sanctity and supreme love for all the millions of beings who populate the world. It is necessary to descend into the Ninth Sphere in order to work with the fire and the water, which are the origin of worlds, beasts, human beings and Gods. Every authentic White Initiation starts here.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in Lust and Chastity

Sexual energy has, in itself, on a superior molecular level, the universal seal or cosmic design of the True Man [or Woman]. We can crystallize this design in each of us by means of Sexual Magic. Whoever wants to self-realize must descend to the Ninth Sphere, the origin of worlds, beasts, men, and gods and work with fire and water. All authentic white initiation begins there.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

In the human organism the Ninth Sphere is sex, he who wants to Self-Realise must descend to the Ninth Sphere to work with the Water and the Fire to reach the Second Birth.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Three Factors

We also find the mysteries of the Ninth Sphere in the Apocalypse of the Holy Bible: “And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.” (Apocalypse 7- 4). By adding the numbers kabalistically we will obtain the number Nine, 1 + 4 + 4 = 9, which is the Ninth Sphere, sex. Only they who have attained absolute Chastity will be saved.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Chastity, Lust and Chastity

Number 9 is the Enneagon, is the Ninth Sphere. It is related with Mars through the Ninth Sphere. There one undertakes the battle with oneself, against all, against nature; because here demons and Gods are formed, and one must descend to the bottom of the Inferno to fabricate the Solar Bodies.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Solar Bodies

To descend to the ninth sphere is indispensable; some do it in life because of their own will, spontaneously and for their inner self realization, and others, the majority, the masses, do it in an unconscious manner when they descend to the abyss of perdition. Question: Venerable Master, I would like you to explain why sex is also called the ninth sphere? Perhaps it is related to the center of the Earth?

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

Answer: Friends, it is urgent to comprehend that in the superior dimensions of nature, submerged beneath the epidermis of the Earth, there exists by the law of antithesis, a ninth circle of glory, where the Initiates of the Universal White Fraternity can see, traced in a concrete manner, the sign of the infinite, the holy eight, set in a horizontal manner. Whoever has studied esoteric Kabbalah knows very well the inner significance of this magical figure.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in The Klipoth, The Law of Opposites

In reality, to convert oneself into a Ruler of the Light is only possible by working on oneself, in the Dantesque Ninth Circle.

IIWhosoever wants to incarnate Christ must descend into the Ninth Sphere

Each of the great aims is tied to the same descent: the birth of the Son of Man, the beheading of Medusa, the dissolution of the "I", the solar bodies, the Twice-Born. Hiram Abiff, the inner Christ, lies dead in the ninth vault, and only there can he be revived.

144 = 1 + 4 + 4 = 9. This is the Ninth Sphere (the sex). There is the need to descend into the Ninth Sphere (sex) in order to work with the fire and the water, which is the origin of worlds, beasts, human beings and gods. Every authentic white Initiation starts here. All of those who incarnated the Lamb, for example, Hermes, Jesus, Krishna, Rama, Buddha, Dante, Pythagoras etc descended into the Ninth Sphere.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

HILARIUX IX said that the descent into the Ninth Sphere in the ancient mysteries was the maximum ordeal for the supreme dignity of the Hierophant.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

Nine is the measure of a man who is of the angel, because we remain nine months within the maternal womb. The Son of Man can only be born within the Ninth Sphere. Never has it been known that an angel was born without the Ninth Sphere.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

Whosoever wants to cut the head of Medusa (the psychological “I”) must descend into the Ninth Sphere.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

Whosoever wants to incarnate Christ must descend into the Ninth Sphere. Whosoever wants to dissolve the “I” must descend into the Ninth Sphere. The Ninth Sphere is the Sanctum Regnum of the divine omnipotence of the Third Logos (the Holy Spirit). It is here in the Ninth Sphere where we find The Flaming Forge of Vulcan.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

Whosever wants to incarnate in himself (within himself) the totality of his soul, his Divine Immortal Triad, must first descend into the Ninth Sphere (Sex) in order to create his Solar Electronic Bodies.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Alchemy, The Human Soul, The Solar Bodies

All of us need to resuscitate that intimate Christ and to achieve this it is obvious that we must descend to the Ninth Sphere, sex. Due to this it is said that Hiram Abiff is in the ninth circle, in the ninth vault.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Intimate Christ

We are all sons of sex, and for this reason in the Divine Comedy we see the condemned with water up to their generative organs and weeping with tears which congeal in their eyes. This is because it is a vale of tears and afflictions. That the waters reach their generative organs is due to the fact that they are spermatic waters; we are all born and die weeping. If we add 9 + 9 it equals 18. The “9” is contained twice in Arcanum 18. Between the two 9’s there is a balance; one 9 is the positive aspect and the other nine is the negative aspect. The 18 is, however, essentially nega tive, disastrous; is the secret enemies of the Arcanum of Twilight. In the work in the Ninth Sphere one has to struggle a lot because one has to learn to sublimate the sexual energy; this is the key or solution to all empires.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Law of Polarities

In Arcanum 18 the Ninth Sphere is repeated twice. We already know that the number 1 is positive, and that the number 2 is negative. In the same manner if we repeat the Ninth Sphere once, and once again, we will have the two aspects of sex; positive and negative. Now you will understand why Arcanum 18 is light and darkness, white magic and black magic. In Arcanum 18 we find the secret enemies of Initiation.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Law of Polarities

If we wish to free ourselves, or place ourselves upon the Path of the Razor’s Edge, the way of revolution of the consciousness, we must descend to the Ninth Sphere of Nature. This has nothing to do with what has gone before. To descend to the Ninth Sphere is to enter into revolu tion; to revolt against the cosmos, against nature, against everything; and it is in this manner that we fabricate the Solar Bodies and incarnate the Real Being; we become a “Twice-Born”.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution, The Solar Bodies, The Three Factors

Arcanum number 20 is that of the Resurrection and this is very impor tant. In occult esoterism it is said that Hiram Abiff or Chiram Osiris lies dead in the Ninth Sphere, in the heart of the Earth. It is said that to reach the sepulchre one must traverse the Nine Vaults, the Nine Strata of the interior of our planetary organism. That Ninth Sphere is in our human organism, is sex. If it is that the Internal Christ is there, dead, then only there will He be able to be revived.

IIIIf we wish to ascend, we must first descend

Here the descent is the condition of every rising. The Magician points to the earth, the two columns of Arcanum 12 each have nine rungs, one goes down and comes back by the Luciferic ladder, and a humiliation always comes before an exaltation.

If we wish to ascend, we must first descend. Only by descending to the Ninth Sphere can we build the solar bodies in order to incarnate the immortal triad and be transformed into Men.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

It is necessary to first descend into the Ninth Sphere; it is only in this manner that we can ascend.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The Pointed Cubic Stone is telling us that every elevation requires a previous humiliation. Firstly, it is essential to descend into the Infernal Worlds, into the Ninth Circle, under the surface of the Earth, in order to have the right to ascend into heaven.

One descends into the Ninth Sphere through the Luciferic ladder. One ascends or comes out from the Ninth Sphere through the Luciferic ladder.

The eyes in the upper part represent the eyes of the Father, signifying internally the infinite, the Holy Eight, the Caduceus of Mercury, the eight Kabirs who direct the planet. The Magician is shown in right-side pro file, meaning that for the manifested, the right side is all. The Serpent protrudes from his brow, indicating that he is arisen, that he is a Self-Realised Master. The Staff of Power, which symbolises the spinal column is in the left hand which points toward the infinite, whilst the right points toward the earth, indicating that he dominates it with science, that one must ascend from below, that one cannot ascend without first descending. One needs to descend to the Ninth Sphere, which has two representations. The first is sex, the Cubical Stone; the second is the nine circles, the Atomic Infernos into which the Initiate has to descend; meaning to descend in order to ascend.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

The Fire of Phiegethon and the Water of Acheron intersect in the Ninth Sphere, sex, forming the sign of the Infinite. One must work with Water and Fire, the origin of beasts, men and Gods. He who wants to ascend must first descend, this is something terrible, this is the greatest test, almost all fail.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

In the middle are 2 columns each with 9 rungs - this is the Ninth Sphere (sex). We should remember that there are 9 Heavens (the white colunm) and 9 infernal regions (the black column). We have to descend a rung in order to ascend one.

Observe very attentively that marvelous curve which descends and ascends. The humiliation or descent into the Infernal Worlds, into the Ninth Sphere (sex) is a necessary preliminary for the exaltation or sublimation...

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

It is in no way possible to extricate our psychological aggregates, those inner defects that in their entirety compose the I, without the help of that divine particle or inner Monad, symbolised by the axe. This is the sign of the thunderbolt, clearly embodied by the TigerMan. It is clearly written in the Book of Life that whoever wants to go up must first go down, and exaltation is preceded by a humiliation Since ancient times, the descent to the Ninth Sphere has been the foremost test to the supreme integrity of the hierophant. Jesus, Buddha, Hermes, Quetzalcoatl had to go through this tremendous trial.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974 also in The Being Is the Being

IVThe frightening and tremendous ordeal of the Ninth Sphere

Set beside the ordeal of the Ninth Sphere, every other initiatic trial seems gentle. The passages warn of the supreme pain Dante saw, of the need to suffer with resignation, and of the Sibyl's words to Aeneas: going down is easy, coming back up is the labour.

Many esoteric ordeals exist on the initiatic path. It is necessary to pass through the ordeal of the Guardian of the Threshold in the three planes: astral, mental and causal; it is necessary to pass through the ordeals of fire, air, water and earth; it is necessary to pass through the ordeal of Justice, etc. However, all of those ordeals, as hard and difficult as they might be, become gentle and swift when we compare them with the frightening and tremendous ordeal of the Ninth Sphere (sex).

Aztec Christic Magic, 1973

Certainly, to descend into the Averno in order to work in the Ninth Sphere and to dissolve the ego is easy, but it is dreadfully difficult to retrace our steps and to escape to the upper air. “That is the task! That is the difficult labour!”

Runic Magic, 1969 also in The Klipoth

There is a need to understand what the “Depths of the Abyss” means. When it is said “descend to the Depths of the Abyss”, this is real. Due to the Law of concomitance or relationship, the descent to the Ninth Sphere puts us in accord with the Planetary Organism on which we live. He who is working in the Ninth Sphere has descended to the depths of what he really is. If he who is working disincarnates he will see that he is really living in that Region (the Ninth Sphere is in the centre of the Earth). Of course he who has awakened consciousness will be the one who is aware of this. It is necessary to advise the Neophyte that in the Ninth Sphere exists the “Supreme Pain” about which Dante spoke in the “Divine Comedy”; the condemned whose tears have coagulated in their eyes, and others about whom the Waters have risen to their Creative Organs.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Klipoth

You must know how to understand, you must know to learn how to suffer, to be resigned; those who do no t, fail. It is a kind of insolence, a paradox, to want to find happiness in the Ninth Sphere. It would be absurd, because the fact is that Intimate Self-Realisation costs, has a price, perhaps life itself.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Suffering

In sex exists the greatest force which can liberate or enslave man. The descent to the Ninth Sphere was from ancient times the greatest test of the supreme dignity of the Hierophant. All of the classics speak of the descent of Aeneas to the Ninth Sphere, to the Tartarus of the Greeks. In the Aeneid (book VI) the Sibyl of Cumae cautioned him about the de scent to Avernus: “Sprung from the blood of Gods, Trojan Anchises’ son, easy the road down to Avernus; night and day the door of gloomy Dis stands open; but thy steps back to retrace, emerge to upper air, this is the task, the labour this. Some few favoured and loved of Jupiter, or borne by their own glowing virtue to the sky, sons of the Gods, attained it”...

The founders of religions and the heroes of myth are named as those who went down: Buddha, Hermes, Krishna, Jesus, Moses, Pythagoras, Zoroaster. Mars re-tempers his sword there, Hercules does his twelve labours there, Perseus beheads Medusa there, and the Saviours of the Pistis Sophia owe their state to its Mystery.

The Initiates of the Temple, the Pythagoras, the Zoroasters, the Jesus Christs, and all those ancient initiates, without exception, really practiced the “Arcane A.Z.F.” with the Vestals of the Temple... They had to descend to the Lit Forge of Vulcan to cut off the head of Medusa with the Flaming Sword of Perseus! They had to descend to that Lit Forge to clean the stables of the Soul and obtain the incarnation of the Verb in the Sacred Manger of the Conscience.

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.

VIThe man who courageously descends into the Dantesque Ninth Circle

Two figures carry the descent in image. Peter dies on an inverted cross, head to the ground, to show the way down to Dante's ninth circle, and the Parsifal of the second part is the ascetic who goes consciously into the infernal worlds to work in the forge of the Cyclops.

The manner in which the Hierophant Peter dies crucified on an inverted cross is in order to indicate to us, the work with the brute stone. It was necessary for Peter to die crucified with his head pointing towards the ground and his feet towards the heavens, in order to show us the decent into the Ninth Sphere, into Dante’s Ninth Circle of Hell.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

There exists an intimate relation between the Ninth Sphere and the Cubic Stone. Let us remember that the Study of the Novenary always concludes with the Pointed Cubic Stone.

Whosoever enters into the Ninth Sphere and is firm until the death is converted into a living Christ.

The maximum ordeal of the Ninth Sphere seduces and is very longlasting; this ordeal endures until the student attains the total Self-realization. All depends on the effort of the student. Whosoever enters into the Ninth Sphere and is firm until the death is converted into a living Christ. However, in life it is unusual to find somebody who comes victorious from the Ninth Sphere. Many are those who start and it is rare to find someone who achieves it.

Aztec Christic Magic, 1973

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

We knew a Lady-Adept of the White Lodge who fabricated her Solar Bodies in merely ten years of very intense work in the ninth Sphere. That Lady lives with the Angels, Archangels, Seraphim, etc.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

By working very intensely in the ninth Sphere without allowing oneself to fall, one can carry out the work of fabricating the Solar Bodies in ten or twenty years more or less. The Lunar Race mortally hates this science of the Sacred Cow and before accepting it, it prefers to find escape routes and justifications with flashy and hypocritical phrases. The Bonzos and Dugpas of red cape, the Black Magicians, practice Black Tantrism, they ejaculate the semen during the Maithuna; it is in this manner that they awaken and develop the abominable Kundartiguador Organ.

No one can enter into the Kingdom dressed in the rags of a Beggar (Lunar Rags).

It is difficult to establish the precise amount of time for the Second Birth, because this depends on the quality of work. Some people can attain the Second Birth in fifteen or twenty years of intense work in the Ninth Sphere, others can endure much more time. Remember Gnostic Brethren that our Motto is THELEMA (willpower). Intimate Selfrealization is only for men and women with Thelema. Before any Twice Born, Two Paths are open: the path of the right and the path of the left. The Path of the right is for those who work in the dissolution of the “I.” The Path of the left is for those who commit the error of not working with the dissolution of the “I.” The Twice Born who does not reduce his Lunar Ego to cosmic dust converts himself into an abortion of the Cosmic Mother. He becomes a Marut, and there exist thousands of types of Maruts. Certain oriental sects and some Muslim tribes commit the lamentable error of rendering cult to all of those families of Maruts.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in The Solar Bodies, The Three Factors

The extraordinary and marvellous form of the old coffin of Osiris, because of its similarity and Initiatic meaning, naturally calls to mind another fish, magnificently represented in the Semitic alphabet by the letter Samek, which occupies the fifteenth place kabalistically, that which indubitably, in the beginning symbolised the famous Constellation of the Whale, under whose rule we must realise all of the works of the Ninth Sphere. That constellation is related with the event of Jonas and has to do with the measurements of the coffin of Osiris which has the form of a fish, because by means of it Osiris had to descend the black and horrifying precipice; had to spend three periods in the belly of the whale.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Jonas the Prophet, working under the rule of the Constellation of the Whale, located in the deep well of the universe, in the Ninth Sphere (sex), realises his work in three days, or three more or less long periods: First Day: to descend to the infernal worlds to fabricate the Solar Bodies, the Wedding Clothes of the Soul, and to establish within oneself a permanent centre of consciousness. To descend to the infernal worlds of nature is necessary, it is a period of elimination until the destruction of Set, until attaining the Second Birth.

A descent and a fall are not the same thing. The initiate goes down to destroy defects in the lower regions and then wins a heaven, while the one who spills the semen falls, as Amfortas did.

One must differentiate between a fall and a descent. The Initiate de scends to the Ninth Sphere during the work in the forge in order to de stroy his defects in the lower regions and to then ascend to the Heavens. A Heaven is won following the work in each Inferno. The Initiate falls when he spills the semen.

One must differentiate between a fall and a descent.

from Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

To descend into the Ninth Sphere is not prohibited and it is even indispensable for every exaltation; yet, to fall is different. Therefore, Amfortas fell; you know this... When the Kundalini reaches the Sahasrara, the lotus of one thousand petals, situated in the superior part of the brain, She then betroths herself with the Lord Shiva, the Third Logos, the Holy Spirit.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970 also in The Chakras

It is necessary to learn to distinguish between a fall and a descent; we need to descend to the ninth sphere (s to fabricate the superior existential bodies of the Being or to dissolve the Ego.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in The Solar Bodies

In the ninth circle is the well of the universe, the center of the planetary gravity. It is not superfluous to remember that in the ninth submerged sphere the creative organs of the human species have their full representation.

IIIOne is liberated from the Ninth Sphere

These passages say when the work below ends. After the Second Birth sex is prohibited, and to renounce it before the solar bodies are made is the error of monks and nuns, yet each higher degree, up to the threshold of the Absolute, asks for one more descent, made only by order and as a sacrifice.

There is great pam in the Ninth Sphere until one finally reaches the Second Birth. When Jesus said to Nicodemus that he had to be born again he did not understand. Jesus of course knew the Great Mystery. Will there come a time when one leaves the Ninth Sphere? Yes, when the Second Birth is achieved.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Three Factors

After having created the “To Soma Heliakon” in the “Forge of Cyclops” (sex), I had then to spend a period of time in profound reflection. In the residence of Love, in the Temple of the “Twice-Born”, I met other Brothers and Sisters who had also been working intensely in the “Fiery Forge of Vulcan” (sex). They were all gloriously radiant amongst the indescribable divine enchantments of Good Friday. We came together to talk of the struggles and hardships; we had been victorious. But all this how ever is only the Beginning of the Beginning, the Foundation of the Foundation; beyond this there is something more, and it is necessary that you be informed.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

If one who is Twice-born, or someone who has reached Adepthood, tries to reach the angelic state, he will have to descend once again into the deep well of the universe; to the Ninth Sphere, and, on terminating the Work, to ascend via the Ladder, or Scale of Lucifer in order to thus reach the Angelic state. If he should wish to be an Archangel, a Principality, a Throne, or a Cherubim he mus t do the same; descend in order to then ascend.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Lucifer

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

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Entropy and Sacrifice

One is liberated from the Ninth Sphere when one becomes a Paramarthasattya (an inhabitant of the Absolute). Then one will be sub merged in Abstract Joy. Before going there however, there will be a humiliation; one needs to descend again, otherwise one violates the Law of Leviathan, the Seal of Solomon.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Ain, Ain Soph, Ain Soph Aur

The Alchemical weddings mean the Perfect Matrimony. The Alchemist must not only kill desire, but also even the very shadow itself of the horrible tree of desire. It will serve no purpose to renounce sex without previously having worked and fabricated the Solar Bodies and achieved the Second Birth; then one renounces it. First one must work with the Third Logos, the terrible Forge of Cyclops; then one works with the Sec ond Logos, Hercules; and lastly with the First Logos. The error of monks and nuns is to renounce sex without having fabricated the Solar Bodies. The result is that they are to be found in limbo, dressed in rags. One must be dressed with the wedding garment in order to be able to enter the kingdom of the Heavens.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Desire and Will, The Benefits of Pranayama, Ham-Sah and Alchemy, The Solar Bodies, The Three Factors

The interesting thing is that all of that putrefaction is realised in the Philo sophical Egg (sex). One comes to be confirmed by the Light in the eighth key of Basil Valentine. After attaining the Second Birth, sex is prohibited, and the Master is told : “You may not return to work in the Ninth Sphere because you would then resuscitate the “I” and you have been freed of it. Your esoteric tests have terminated and sex remains prohibited to you for all of eternity.” Sex is the lowest part of Initiation, and if it is that we wish to achieve illumination, Self-Realisation, we have to draw back the Veil of Isis, which is the Adamic Sexual Veil.

IVGo down again to the Ninth Sphere

His own account and a late lecture show the descents repeating. The Divine Mother orders him down again to the forge after a long recess, and the Solar Man, the Galactic Man and whoever would enter the next infinity must each go back to the forge of the Cyclops to create what the new state requires.

I had already been given a cosmic list of things to obtain, and a certain categorical imperative demanded that I go down again to the Burning Forge of Vulcan (the Sex), but I had not understood.

The Three Mountains, 1972 also in Samael and His Divine Mother

Next to one of the two columns symbolising the Occult Masonry, the Adorable ordered me to undertake a new descent into the Ninth Sphere (the Sex).

The Three Mountains, 1972

It was urgent for me to come back to the Burning Forge of Vulcan after a long recess. Unquestionably, between Mountain and Mountain there are always long periods of sexual abstinence.

The Three Mountains, 1972

A Solar Man is said to be the one who fabricated the sun within himself. But if an ordinary man –but who has formed the Superior Existential Bodies of the Being– wants to become a Solar Man, he has no other alternative than to go down again to the Ninth Sphere to fabricate the gold in his bodies.

The Fifth Gospel Lunar Psychism and Solar Psychism Second Chamber – Mexico City – 1976 also in The Solar Bodies, The Words He Uses

And if a Solar Man, for example, wants to become a Galactic Man, what should he do? Obviously, he would need to fabricate the psychological galaxy that we live in, but fabricate it within himself; and to that end, he would have to go down again to the Ninth Sphere to work in the Lit Forge of Vulcan, and there in that forge he would fabricate the psychological galaxy which would give him the right to live in the entire galaxy, which would allow him to take a body in the capital of the galaxy, which is called Sirius.

The Fifth Gospel Lunar Psychism and Solar Psychism Second Chamber – Mexico City – 1976

For a Solar Man to become a Galactic Man, he has to go down to the Infernal Worlds, to work in the Forge of the Cyclops to create, precisely, the psychological characteristics of the galaxy. If he creates them, he earns the right to take a body on Sirius.

The Fifth Gospel Lunar Psychism and Solar Psychism Second Chamber – Mexico City – 1976 also in The Klipoth

If a Galactic Man wishes to earn the right to live on any sun of this infinity, the right to travel through this entire infinity, the right to leave this galaxy, well he has to go down to the Ninth Sphere again. To go down once more to the Infernal Worlds for some time, to work there with the demons, to fabricate the bodies that will enable him to enter infinity, to create within himself a psychological infinity with psychological attributes and qualities. And any creation, whichever it is, has to be done with sex.

from The Fifth Gospel

So if one wants to create a psychological infinity within oneself, he will have to go down to the Forge of the Cyclops to create the psychological infinity. Once that psychological infinity has been created, he will obviously earn the right to leave the galaxy and to live in any other galaxy, or to travel through all the galaxies of this infinity.

The Fifth Gospel Lunar Psychism and Solar Psychism Second Chamber – Mexico City – 1976

If that is the case, we would have to go down once more to the Forge of the Cyclops to create within ourselves the qualities and the powers that will allow us to enter the next infinity, the future infinity. Speaking in the language of the Pistis Sophia, I would say “another firmament”.

Part Five — This Forge is Sex

8 passages

IThe Forge of Vulcan is in sex

The forge of Vulcan and the forge of the Cyclops are named here as sex itself, the sexual force of the Third Logos. The work done there is called terrific, and those who begin it without the doctrine are warned of serious errors.

PART FIVE

the tempestuous lightningthe Forge of the Cyclops
The work in the Forge of the Cyclops (the sex) is terrific.

The work in the Forge of the Cyclops (the sex) is terrific. Here, the tempestuous lightning, the secret forces of the storm, as well as the hurricane-like winds collaborate in the effort.

Runic Magic, 1969

This is an extraordinary symbol of the Third Logos, a living sign of the Holy Spirit, of Vulcan, that marvelous sexual force with which we can perform many prodigies and marvels.

Runic Magic, 1969

Gnosis teaches the three stages through which everyone working in the Fiery Forge of Vulcan must pass.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Furthermore, to begin working with the sexual center without having the correct information about the body of Gnostic Doctrine is absurd. Certainly, he who begins in those conditions does not know what he is doing. He does not have a clear consciousness about the work in the Forge of the Cyclops. He can fall into very serious errors. Let us remember that the first center is the intellectual, the second the motor, the third the emotional, the fourth the instinctive, and the fifth the sexual. A sixth center also exists, which is the superior emotional, and the seventh is the superior mental.

For the Few, 1980

The Power of Isis is reinforced by the electric sexual power in the Flaming Forge of Vulcan.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The Forge of Vulcan is in sex.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Remember the Sixth Arcanum, sex, love, the work in the Forge of the Cyclops.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

We cannot walk on the path of the kalkian personality; we cannot accept those false dogmas such as Evolution; such as that of believing that all humanoids are perfect, complete Men with their existential bodies; such as fearing the igneous Serpent of our magical powers and the lived experience, etc. We prefer instead to follow the path of authentic Wisdom, the path of the Tantras, that of the dissolution of the ego and that of the recognition of our own misery and incapacity. We prefer to recognize that we are nothing, that we are only miserable worms in the mud. We are concerned, yes, to work in ourselves, upon ourselves. We want the dissolution of our “myself’, of the “oneself’. We use the intelligent power of the Creative Energy. We work in the Forge of the Cyclops which frightens pseudo-esoterists and pseudo-occultists so much. We are, therefore, on a different, one hundred percent revolutionary path, and which nonetheless, has a frightening antiquity which is lost in the unbearable night of all ages.

IIMars descends to the Forge of Vulcan to retemper his weapons

Three figures go down into the forge in book after book: Mars to retemper his sword and win Venus, Hermes to clean the stables of the soul with the sacred fire, and Perseus to cut off the head of Medusa, the ego.

We need the Nativity of the Heart in order to go down to the Flaming Forge of Vulcan to decapitate the Prince of this World with the Flaming Sword of Perseus. Beloved, remember that the continuous evolution is nothing but a process of complication of life. We need the revolution of the consciousness.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

If you want to raise yourself to the angelic state (before it's too late) you will have to go down to the Fiery Forge of Vulcan (sex). There Mars descends to re-temper his sword and win the heart of Venus (the Venustic Initiation).

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

Just as Hermes, clean the Augean stables (the lower depths of the consciousness) with the Flaming Fire. Just as Perseus, cut off the head of Medusa (the psychological ‘I’) with the Sword of Justice. The secret key in the Ninth Sphere is the Arcanum A.Z.F.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

There is the need to descend into the Flaming Forge of Vulcan (the sex) in order to retemper the sword and to attain the Venustic Initiation. Hermes descended into this forge in order to clean the internal stables of the Soul with the sacred fire, and Perseus also descended in order to cut the head of the Prince of this world with the Flaming Sword. Thus, this is how we can whiten our internal bodies with the blood of our internal Lamb. “Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.” The Father is glorified in the Son and the Son is glorified in the Father. The Father is one with the Son and the Son is one with the Father.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

The Ninth Sphere is the fiery forge of Vulcan. Mars descends there to retemper his sword and conquer the heart of Venus; it is there that Hercules cleans the stables of Augeas; it is there that Perseus cuts off the head of the Medusa with his flaming sword.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

Mars descends to the Forge of Vulcan to retemper his weapons and conquer the heart of Venus… The Venustic Initiation… The incarnation of the Word… The incarnation of the Sun King, of the Sun-Man, within our own selves. The crucified star on the cross represents the incarnated Sun-Man.

Magnus Opus

Perseus descends to the Forge of Vulcan in order to cut off the head of Medusa (the “I”), with the flaming sword…

Magnus Opus

The fire of the Third Logos is a spiritual fire that rises through the central channel when we work with the Arcanum A.Z.F. That fire confers upon us many occult powers. The fire gives us power over earthquakes, over water, over the wind. The fire gives us the power of the occult ear, the power of clairvoyance, and the power of omniscience. The fire of the Third Logos is Kundalini, the igneous serpent of our magical powers. Now we can understand why the young man who explored the shores of Rio Minero found at the door of the central gateway of the temple some serpent scales then escaped terrified. One has to descend to the burning forge of Vulcan (the sex) to behead Medusa with the flaming sword. It is necessary to descend to the burning forge of Vulcan to temper one’s sword and conquer the heart of Venus. Then we attain the Venusian Initiation.

IIIOnly in the Lit Forge of Vulcan can one achieve absolute purification

A series of plain declarations of what the forge alone can give: the sword, the Venusian Initiation, purification, the beheading of the I, and the transmutation of lead into gold, where the Child of Gold is born.

Only in the Fiery Forge of Vulcan (sex) do we receive the sword. Only with the sword can we decapitate the reincarnating ‘I’. Decapitate the ego, dissolve the ego, so we can incarnate the Lamb. That is a total revolution, that's the Nativity of the Heart. The secret doctrine of the Christ is a total revolution.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution, The Intimate Christ

In the Ninth Sphere is the Lit Forge of Vulcan. This Forge is Sex!... There descends: Mars, to re-temper his Sword and to conquer the heart of Venus (Venusian Initiation); Hermes, to clean the Augean Stables (the stables of the Soul) with the Sacred Fire; and Perseus to cut the head of Medusa (Satan, the Psychological! with the Flaming Sword). And this head, planted with serpents, the esoteric student has to deliver to Minerva, the Goddess of Wisdom.

He who wants to enter the Sacred City of the Nine Doors mentioned in the BhagavadGita should resolve to descend to the Lit Forge of Vulcan. NARROW IS THE DOOR Esoteric students abound whom, mistakenly affirm that there are numerous paths to arrive at God. But the Divine Great Master Jesus says: “Narrow is the door and narrow the path that leads to Light, and very few are those who find it.”

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959

In the Lit Forge of Vulcan one is able to transmute Lead into Gold. In it, is Born the Child of Gold of Alchemy! This marvelous Child Is the Son of Man, the Sun-King, the Sun-Man.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959 also in Chastity, The Intimate Christ

If the life of the human being is examined, it is seen that everything is ruled by the Moon, and when one enters into the infernal worlds, one enters via the doorway of the Moon. The important thing is to transform the Moon into Sun, and to attain this, one must work with the Gold and the Silver. Without Alchemy this Arcanum could not be understood; the most important thing is to transmute the Lead into Gold, that is the work which must be realised in the Forge of Cyclops.

IVThe human transformation, the ascension of Christ within us

The incarnation of the Christ, of Hercules and of the Truth is tied to the work in the forge. The Red Christ is defined as the Christ who worked there, and the Buddhas themselves must return to it.

Actually, only those planetary humanities who have worked in the Fiery Forge of Vulcan (sex) and have been devoured by the Serpent of Life earn the right to interplanetary navigation. Vulcan delivers his spacecraft to the Christified humanities in the different cosmic worlds. Earthlings have not Christified. Earthlings threaten the starry skies with their Tower of Babel and will be destroyed.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

It is urgent to follow the path of Peter, who worked with the Philosopher's Stone: sex. It is necessary to reach the path of John, the Verb. On the way, Peter worked very hard in the Fiery Forge of Vulcan. On the way John, the Word, must be realised in us through successive cosmic initiations.

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

The Buddhas can incarnate the Christ only if they renounce Nirvana for the love of this humanity, and also by working with intensity in the Flaming Forge of Vulcan (the sex). Whosoever knows, the word gives power to. No one has uttered it, no one will utter it, except the one who has incarnated it. To incarnate the Word, the Verb, Christ, is necessary!

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in The Intimate Christ

It is clear, and by all means it is evident that in order to incarnate Hercules within ourselves, we must firstly work in the Flaming Forge of Vulcan (the sex).

Runic Magic, 1969

We need to christify ourselves. No human being can return to the Father without having been devoured by the Serpent. No-one can be devoured by the Serpent without having worked in the Fiery Forge of Vulcan (sex). The key of Christification is the Arcanum A.Z.F. The Mantram of the Great Arcanum is I.A.O.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Benefits of Pranayama, Ham-Sah and Alchemy, The Intimate Christ, The Mantras

The three forces, positive, negative, and neutral, when wisely combined in the flaming Forge of Vulcan, originate the human transformation, the ascension of Christ within us. Stella Mans, the Divine Mother Kundalini, guides the navigator in the boisterous ocean. The victorious Intimate Christ is the Red Christ.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in The Intimate Christ, The Laws of the Three and of the Seven

The Red Christ is the Christ who worked in the Flaming Forge of Vulcan; the Intimate Saviour Christ; the Christ who became victorious in the hour of temptation; the Christ who ejected all the merchants of the Interior Temple; the Christ who killed the disloyal ones; the Christ dressed with the purple of the Kings.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in The Intimate Christ, The Words He Uses

The hieroglyph for Arcanum 22 is the Crown of Life. In the midst of the four mysterious animals of Sexual Alchemy, at the center of the Crown, one can see the Truth symbolized by a nude woman who has a staff in each hand (the Priest and the Priestess; Sexual Alchemy). Only by working in the Fiery Forge of Vulcan can we incarnate the Truth. The Ark of the Covenant The Ark had four cherubs touching one another with their wings who are found in the posture of Man and Woman during the sexual act. Inside the Ark one finds the flowering Rod of Aaron, the goblet or gomor containing the “manna”; the two Tablets of the Law and the “manna” are contained in the gomor; the number 4 is the result of the addition of 22 amongst itself.

VHe worked with infinite patience in the forge of the Cyclops

Those who worked in the forge, from the Knights of the Grail to the author in his own account, show what the labour asks: a lifetime of it, chastity, patience, and the defeat of Lucifer, whose impulse is needed before he can be overcome.

The state of Turiya is most sublime and is only reached by those who work in the Fiery Forge of Vulcan all their lives. Only the Kundalini can elevate us to the state of Turiya. It is urgent to know how to meditate profoundly and then to practice Sexual Magic all our life to reach, after many difficult trials, the state of Turiya.

Hercules took him from the abyss to serve as his guide; and we do the same when we attain chastity. Then, working in the Forge of Cyclops, practising sexual magic, transmuting our creative energies, we advance upon the Path of the Razor’s Edge to liberation.

A number of times I tried in vain to escape, but finally one day, for no particular reason the guards forgot that a door had been left open, unquestionably I could not miss such a longed for opportunity, in a matter of seconds I was out of that prison making detours in a market square with the intention of throwing some of the police who had managed to see me and were following, off the scent. At any rate, I succeeded in my attempt and left that city for good. I shall conclude the present chapter by saying that only by working in the FIERY FORGE OF VULCAN did I then manage to become a Super-Man.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

Could we by any chance ascend up to the Golgotha of the Father by any other path that is not the body of Lucifer, the back of Lucifer? Impossible! Could someone by any chance work in the Forge of the Cyclops without the impulse of Lucifer? Impossible! Lucifer gives the impulse, and if we know how to plunge the lance in his side, we defeat him. Once the dragon is defeated, we go up using his back as a ladder. Temptation is fire, triumph over temptation is light.

This simple figure in itself indicates the work in the ninth sphere.

The disciple can ascend the nine Arcades, pass through all the nine Initiations of Minor Mysteries without having worked in the Arcanum A.Z.E (Sexual Magic). Nevertheless, it is impossible to enter the Major Mysteries without Sexual Magic (the Arcanum A.Z.F.) In Egypt, everyone who reached the Ninth Sphere would inevitably receive by word of mouth the terrible secret of the Great Arcanum. (The most powerful Arcanum, the Arcanum A.Z.F) THE GUARDIAN OF THE THRESHOLD The first trial that the candidate has to face is the trial of the Guardian of the Threshold. This is the reflection of the “I”, the intimate depths of the “I”. Many are they who fail this terrible trial.

In other words, no one can attain the Mastery, the Adepthood, without having previously worked in the Ninth Sphere.

As usual, a third party is never missing... so, in that Lunar Apocalypse, a certain cold group at last became fiery, and they accepted the work in the Ninth Sphere (the sex). A new abode was granted to these people, in order for them to work with the Brute Stone until giving it perfect cubic form.

They who try to liberate themselves, they who really want to Self-Realise, they who truly want to become Mahatmas or Hierophants will have to submit themselves to the Tantric discipline and work in the Ninth Sphere. Tantrism will teach them everything, such as how to awaken the Serpent, and how to raise it along the spinal column, how to open the chakras, etc.

IIConscious action is the result of progressive work

Drawing on the Tibetan schools, these passages set Vision beside Action. The Hinayana disciples labour in the forge of the Cyclops, and the Golden Flower holds the two in balance.

For this reason Zen Masters put total emphasis on Ecstasy, Samadhi, Satori and concentrate all their efforts to directly leading their disciples or chelas towards it. The Hinayana Tibetan School is different and although its two principle pillars are also "Vision and Action", it is unquestionable that it places special solemnity on the latter and tirelessly struggles to lead its devotees to the Ninth Sphere (Sex).

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in The Science of Meditation

It is not superfluous to affirm in this chapter that the aspirants of the Mahayana School in truth long and have an infinite yearning for direct experience of Illuminating Emptiness. In no way do we exaggerate judgements if we assert with a certain fervour that disciples of the Hinayana School labour tenaciously in the "Forge of Cyclops" (Sex) with the intelligent objective of achieving inner Self-Realization of Illuminating Emptiness. When the mind is still, when the mind is in silence from within and without and in the centre, the mystic experience of Emptiness comes; however, it is obvious that SelfRealization is something very different. Emptiness is not very easy to explain. Certainly I can tell you that it is not definable or describable.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Inner Silence, The Science of Meditation

Conscious action is the result of progressive work in the "Forge of Cyclops" (Sex). The "Golden Flower" establishes perfect harmonious equilibrium between "Vision and Action".

IIIThere continues to be a correlation between the symbol and the work

Old symbols are read as pictures of this work: the Hanged Man, the Whale of Arcanum 15, the numbers 3, 6 and 9, the spear of Achilles, the cross of Saint Andrew, and a Mayan cup and flame for mercury and sulphur.

Let us recall the marvellous union of the Cross with the Triangle: in Arcanum 12 we see a man who hangs suspended by one leg to indicate the fecund work in the Ninth Sphere without which the union of the Cross and the Triangle could not be attained. The Philosophical Gold could not be attained without that Union.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

One thing is the Cross and another the works which must be realised in the Ninth Sphere. There continues to be a correlation between the symbol and the work.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

The Whale corresponds to the kabalistic Arcanum 15; this invites us to reflect. Arcanum 15 is the Typhoon Baphomet, the Devil, animal passion. This invites us to understand what the work in the Ninth Sphere (sex) really is.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

The number 3 corresponds to the Third Logos, the Holy Spirit. The Third Logos is in essence, the creative sexual force which expresses in all the universe. One works by means of number 6 which is related with sex. Here the man and woman is to be found; in the Tarot a man is shown before vice and virtue, before the Virgin and the whore. The sexual force must be worked with through the 6, or that is, with love this has an expression in 9 which equals the Ninth Sphere. Number 9 is the number of the Master. The three triads or horizontal lines represent the three worlds.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Binah

The fact that Dante precisely mentions the spear of Achilles in the ninth sphere is notorious, and this is something that should make us meditate.

The Cross of Saint Andrew explains the work to be performed in the ninth sphere with the sulfur and the mercury: the hard struggle in order to attain the elimination of all the psychological aggregates based on conscious works and voluntary sufferings.

The Mayan Mysteries, 1977 also in Conscious Works and Voluntary Sufferings, The Law of Opposites, The Law of Polarities, The Laws of the Three and of the Seven

Andrew, the hermit fisherman, humbly served the Christus John, when then he became a disciple of the great Kabir Jesus. Andrew assisted the great Gnostic Priest Jesus of Nazareth, in the miraculous fishing of the lake of Genezareth o Jainezareth, the symbolic Jinn lake where the fire performed so many portents. The extraordinary torture of Andrew, filled with enigmas and portents, made very famous the cross X, upon which in a pitilessly way his separated limbs were tightened. The deep significance of the tortures of Andrew on the terrible X is "the annihilation of the adored ego in the laboratorium-oratoriun of the Third Logos."

The Mayan Mysteries, 1977

This simple figure in itself indicates the work in the ninth sphere. The cup indicates the deposit of the mercury of the wise. The flame symbolizes the sulfur, the fire that fecundates the mercury in order to perform the Great Work.

IVIncessant alchemical transformations in the Ninth Sphere

The Essence trapped in the ego must be transformed again and again in the Ninth Sphere before it becomes the Seminal Pearl. In that crucible the Christ suffers, dies and rises, and the fire must come before the light.

It is necessary first to work with the fire and later with the light. It is indispensable to work first with the Third Logos in the Ninth Sphere and later with the Second Logos. The first five initiations of Major Mysteries are a microcosmic cosmogenesis. The fire fecundates the chaotic matter of the Divine Mother to give birth to the solar bodies. Later, comes the best the intervention of the Second Logos, the Venustic Initiations, after sacrifice for humanity.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in The Intimate Christ, The Law of Correspondence, The Solar Bodies

The Chinese Tao clearly teaches that the ‘Essence’, which is bottled up within all of these conjunctions of Devil-I’s that constitute the Ego, has to pass through incessant alchemical transformations in the Ninth Sphere, before converting itself into the ‘Seminal Pearl.’ The marvelous reflex of the sexual energy in a form of a luminous whirlwind (like when a ray of light returns after crashing against a wall) comes to crystallize within ourselves, forming the ‘Golden Flower’, which, as it is known, comes to establish within the neophyte a permanent center of consciousness.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970 also in The Human Soul

Excavating in the profound entrails of the Avern, intensely working in the Ninth Sphere, I searched with infinite yearning for the treasure of heaven, the Golden Fleece of the ancients...

The Three Mountains, 1972

It is indeed in the sexual or erotic crucible where the prima materia of the Great Work — the Christ — suffers its own passion. It is in the Ninth Sphere crucible where it dies to resurrect, to be purified, spiritualized and afterwards transformed.

VThe work in the Ninth Sphere means struggle

This work demands effort, will, and sexual potency; the weak flee from it. With that potency the psychic aggregates are disintegrated, and Devi Kundalini Shakti gives her help.

Every practice of Sexual Magic can be concluded with this marvel lous exercise, The work in the Ninth Sphere means struggle, sacrifice, effort; will. The weak flee from the Ninth Sphere, horrified, terrified, frightened. Those who are devoured by the Serpent be come Serpents, Gods.

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

Sexual virility, sexual potency is necessary to obtain virtues in the Flaming Forge of Vulcan.

The one who has never worked in the Forge of the Cyclops is frightfully weak. The sexual energy is the mighty strength of all powers.

VIIn the last instant, desire is not indispensable

A student asks what will drive the work once desire is gone. The answer is that beginners need desire, while at the heights of the Being the work is done with Eros alone.

Question: Master, if I should forget even the memories of desire, which stimulus will I utilize for my work in the Lit Forge of Vulcan?

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

Indubitably, when the work in the forge of the Cyclops begins, desire is needed (Uste in Sanskrit), because the profound reevaluations of the Being have not yet been carried out. It would be impossible to demand from beginners the Maithuna, transcendental sexology sex-yoga or Kundalini-yoga with the radical exclusion of desire.

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

On arriving at these transcendental heights of the Being we can work in the Ninth Sphere exclusively with the force of Eros, with the power of the Sexual Hydrogen SI-12, with the transcendental electricity of the zoosperms.

The water and the fire of the Ninth Sphere rise through these two sympathetic canals (IDA and PINGALA) towards the chalice (the brain) when we work with the Arcanum A.Z.F.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in The Law of Polarities

The two Witnesses of the Apocalypse of St. John grant the power to prophesy, because they produce the awakening of consciousness. Through the right ganglionic cord rises the Solar Fire; through the left rises the Lunar Water. File plus water is equal to Consciousness. Plegethon’s Fire and Acheron’s Water intertwine in the Ninth Sphere (Sex), forming the sign of the infinite. This sign is the Holy Eight. If one carefully observes the Caduceus of Mercury, two entwined Serpents, which form the Holy Eight, can be perceived.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959 also in The Consciousness

Through one of these cords, we have already said, the Fire rises; through the other, the Water rises: the Fire of Flegetonte and die Water of Aqueionte, which intertwine in the Ninth Sphere and from the Sign of the Infinite.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959

Guardian of the Temple, has said that tracing the Sign of the Infinite focused on the Frontal Chakra and meditating on the Sacred Order of Tibet, the esoteric student will “leave” his body consciously and project himself into the Astral and at any moment, he makes himself present, after being submitted to numerous tests, he is delivered from “mouth to ear” the magnificent “ARCANE A.Z.F.” F. + A. = C: Effectively, Fire plus Water is equal to Conscience. Of course the Fire and Water of the Ninth Sphere, of Sex as instrument of Sanctification has the power to awaken the Conscience of the student in the Internal Worlds (F. + A. = C.).

IIA man needs a Mary Magdalene

Husband and wife work in the forge together, and every woman who does so can build her solar bodies. The partner's defects are to be borne, since quarrels only damage the Great Work.

It is urgent to know how to lead a married life. The fights between husband and wife are of Satan. He struts against the Serpent Bird. He wants to damage the Great Work. We need to understand the necessity of tolerating the defects of our husband or wife, because no one is perfect. The work in the Fiery Forge of Vulcan is more valuable than all the defects of the partner. It is stupid to throw away all the work, to give Satan his pleasure. In the heart is the temple of the Feathered Serpent, and we should not profane it by sinning against Love. The Path of the Perfect Matrimony is Wisdom and Love.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

The Gnostic couple, working internally in the fiery forge of Vulcan, the Ninth Sphere (sex), can achieve, by means of the Maithuna (Sexual Magic), what the enemies of sex cannot achieve, even though they declare themselves vegetarian, torture themselves, or live like hermits.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

What we are saying should not disenchant women. Every woman who works in the fiery forge of Vulcan, every woman who works in the Ninth Sphere, can build her solar bodies and transform herself into a living Buddha, into a virgin of nirvana with power over fire, air, water, and earth.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Chesed, The Solar Bodies

Indeed, Mahatma Gandhi could have built Solar Bodies in the Flaming Forge of Vulcan (Sex) because he had a magnificent wife. However, he committed the mistake of abstinence; he believed that he could reach Self-Realization by renouncing sex. He was a sincere but mistaken soul.

IIIThe Kundalini awakens only with the Arcanum A.Z.F.

On this point the teaching does not bend: pranayama and breathing exercises stir only sparks, and the serpent is raised by working in the Ninth Sphere. Even the celibate saints of the Middle Ages had done that work in earlier lives.

The Kundalini develops, evolves and progresses within the aura of the Mahachoan. The Mahachoan is the Holy Spirit, the Third Logos which we find in the Flaming Forge of Vulcan.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in The Words He Uses

This Flaming Forge of Vulcan is the sex. The Kundalini awakens only with the Arcanum A.Z.F.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in The Words He Uses

In meditating upon saints of medieval times, I was able to discover that although these saints were celibate, they had in other lives worked in the Ninth Sphere; having developed the Sacred Fire with the Sahaja Maithuna.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Chastity

The Lions of Fire are the synthesis of this kabalistic number because 11 breaks down into 1 + 1 = 2; and the 2 into two units; Man-Woman; the two columns of the Temple, Jakin and Boaz. Between those two columns is the Arcanum. Analysing this Arcanum we come in the end to the Magistery of Fire. The Sacred Fire cannot be awakened with pranayama nor with respiratory exercises combined with meditation. All these achieve is that tiny fractions or sparks stimulate the awakening of the chakras. Such sparks ascend to one or another of the centres, but this does not mean that the Serpent has been raised. Agni, the God of Fire assists the Fire to awaken, but working in the Ninth Sphere. Single persons can help themselves with practices of pranayama in order to raise sparks. That does not mean, however, that they will raise the Serpent.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Benefits of Pranayama, Ham-Sah and Alchemy, The Chakras

Those who truly want to know our foundations must study oriental tantrism, explore Buddhist tantrism, tantrism of the Yellow Church of Tibet, Buddhist Zen tantrism or Chan from China, etc. Anyone who has received the Tantra Initiation and who knows the Tantras, and who has delved deeply into the esotericism of Sahaja Maithuna, knows very well through direct experience that the development of the Kundalini is only possible through the combination of the Three Forces. And these Three Forces can only truly unite and work in the Forge of the Cyclops, in the Ninth Sphere, with Sahaja Maithuna.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Discipline for Awakening Interview – Mexico City – 1970 also in The Benefits of Pranayama, Ham-Sah and Alchemy, The Laws of the Three and of the Seven

Thus, I have said what is, what is real. Whoever wants to truly awaken, develop and unfold the Kundalini must necessarily descend to the Ninth Sphere. To deny this would be to demolish Dante’s Divine Comedy, to demolish the old texts of ancient wisdom, to reduce to dust Homer’s Iliad, Virgil’s Aeneid, the esotericism of the four Gospels, Saint John’s Book of Revelation, the esotericism of the Bhagavad Gita and the Quran, etc. It is sad that there are still people in the world who throw concepts like that, so baseless, so wrong; that is all.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Discipline for Awakening Interview – Mexico City – 1970 also in The Benefits of Pranayama, Ham-Sah and Alchemy

It is a very incipient way of approaching the question of Liberation, since Kundalini-Shakti does not awaken unless one works in the Ninth Sphere, in the Forge of the Cyclops, in the Lit Forge of Vulcan.

Once kindled in the forge, the serpent is to be carried up the spine and placed in the heart, where the cross of initiation is received.

They are the 4 words which lead us to the Ninth Sphere, to sex, to the Forge of Cyclops, to the famous fiery forge of Vulcan, in order to raise the Sacred Serpent of our Magical Powers and carry it to the heart, thus receiving the Sacred Cross of Initiation in the Temple of the Divine Mother. The number 4 also represents the 4 physical elements and the 4 elements of the Alchemy.

VWithout the esoteric power of Devi Kundalini

The fohatic fire that can heal or kill is the Divine Mother herself, and the work in the forge cannot be done without her. Her power to disintegrate defects multiplies there through the electro-sexual force.

Indeed, this is an Electrical Igneous, Occult or Fohatic Power. It is the Great Pristine, Marvelous and Astonishing Force that underlies within every organic or inorganic matter. Undoubtedly, this is an Electronic Spiritual type of force, a creative power that when awakened to action, can easily heal or kill, create or destroy. Now you will comprehend the reason for the Dantesque warning to all those who dare to descend into the Ninth Sphere (Sex).

The Solar Bodies, 1968

When Venus, the Divine Mother Kundalini begged help to Vulcan on behalf of her son Aeneas, She taught with it the clue of the Intimate Self-Realization.

Runic Magic, 1969 also in Samael and His Divine Mother, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

In cosmic grammar, the ‘Rune UR’ is certainly the Divine Mother-Space, the sacred womb where beasts, humans and Gods are gestated. It is unquestionable that without the esoteric power of Devi Kundalini, to work in the Flaming Forge of Vulcan (sex) would be impossible.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970 also in The Eternal Mother Space, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

Now then, it is worth knowing that the serpentine-annular power, which develops in the body of the Gnostic ascetic, multiplies its power through the electro-sexual force, precisely, in the Forge of the Cyclops.

Stella Maris is truly a variant of our own Being, but a derivative. Stella Maris, the Sacred Cobra, the serpentine power, Devi Kundalini –as she is called in Hindustan and Tibet– can instantly disintegrate any defect of a psychological type. It is obvious that we all have every right to invoke the power of Devi Kundalini-Shakti. This power multiplies, develops and unfolds when one works extraordinarily in the Lit Forge of Vulcan, in the Ninth Sphere.

Single people can also invoke Devi Kundalini when they want to eliminate this or that psychological error. But truly, we have to affirm in an emphatic way that the marvelous power of Devi Kundalini-Shakti multiplies extraordinarily in the Ninth Sphere. With that miraculous power we can disintegrate any defect. Devi Kundalini, Isis, Adonia, that variant of our own Being, that aspect of God-Mother in us, can eliminate from ourselves the defect that we have completely comprehended in all the levels of the mind.

VIA time will come when you will be given a priestess

Those without a partner cannot work in the Ninth Sphere, but they can dissolve the ego alone, in meditation and with the help of the Divine Mother. Married people do that same elimination in the forge.

The most difficult thing is the destruction of the lunar bodies, he who dissolves the ego has very fertile ground. So, the man or woman who is already old must make use of their time in order to dissolve the ego, awaken consciousness, attain illumination; whilst the man or woman who is married must work in the Ninth Sphere.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Awakening, Psychological Death, The Solar Bodies

Singles, since they do not possess the Hermetic Glass, it is obvious that they cannot work in the Ninth Sphere. But on the other hand, they can still appeal to God-Mother, to Stella Maris, the Virgin of the Sea, to that living and philosophical Fire that is latent in all organic and inorganic matter. She is called Kundalini in Hindustan.

One can disintegrate any defect, whether in deep meditation, being alone, or when one is working in the Ninth Sphere. Singles, being alone; the married ones, when they will be working in the Ninth Sphere. Unquestionably, singles in their works can get to eliminate twenty-five, thirty percent of the totality of the undesirable elements that are carried inside.

The Father who is in secret knows well what he has to give you, he never abandons you, he always gives you what you need at a given moment. That is what I can answer.

It is urgent to build the Solar Bodies in the Flaming Forge of Vulcan.

Zen Buddhism considers the lunar bodies to be mental forms that should be dissolved, reduced to dust. These lunar bodies are the common property of all beasts, including the intellectual beast, wrongly called man. Only by building the solar bodies can we have the luxury of incarnating the immortal triad and transforming ourselves into Real Men. The solar bodies are the result of conscious work done on oneself. Only by descending to the Ninth Sphere can we build the solar bodies, incarnate the immortal triad, and be born in the superior worlds as new masters of the Manvantara.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Conscious Works and Voluntary Sufferings, The Solar Bodies

The run-of-the-mill Intellectual Animal is not born with the Astral body, neither with the mental body, nor much less with the Causal Body; these bodies can only be artificially cultivated in the Lit Forge of Vulcan (sex).

from Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

To fabricate the Solar Bodies is vital, one must work in the Ninth Sphere; one has to descend to the Forge of Cyclops in order to work with the Water and the Fire. The creative energy is the Holy Spirit. Vulcan is the Third Logos, the sexual force, Shiva. The Sacred Fire is “She”, the Igneous Serpent who rises through the spinal column, is Mother Kundalini. She is united with her husband in the pineal gland. The Third Logos, the Holy Spirit, the Eternal husband is he who fecundates the Divine Mother Kundalini, the root of the Monad, Mother Space.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Binah, The Eternal Mother Space, The Solar Bodies, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

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

IIOne cannot create a body outside of the Ninth Sphere

Fakirs who hold an arm aloft for years or stand like statues gain a little willpower and nothing more. The reason given is that all creation, the creation of a child included, takes place in the Ninth Sphere.

It is impossible to attain Conscious Will without working in the Ninth Sphere. There are many places where people are submitted to tremendous tortures in order to acquire Conscious Will, however they only succeed in storing a certain amount of energy. The true Fakir has his Guru, and does not leave Hindustan. The Fakirs acquire many powers, but nothing more. There are some who raise an arm and never again lower it; and there it remains. With these acts they pursue Will; but Will does not come from here, they do not achieve the fabrication of the Body of Conscious Will. All of that miracle-working leads people astray. For that reason the Fakirs are on the wrong path.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

In regard to fakirs, in India there are fakirs who, for example, raise an arm up and keep it there for an indefinite period of time until it becomes rigid. There are others who remain firm in place for twenty or thirty years until they turn themselves into true statues. But, after all is said and done, what is it that those fakirs gain? They develop a little willpower, and that is all. We cannot think that they will create the body of conscious will; clearly not. One cannot create a body outside of the Ninth Sphere. If it was possible to create a body in the absence of the Ninth Sphere, we might have been born, well, from the air, from the waters of a lake, or from a rock, and we would not be children of a man and a woman. But truly, we are children of a man and a woman. Therefore, creation is always realized in the Ninth Sphere. That is obvious.

For the Few, 1980 also in The Solar Bodies

Therefore, no fakir could create the body of conscious will far from the Ninth Sphere. Those who dedicate themselves to fakirism then gain nothing except developing a little will-power and that is all.

IIIBuild the Astral Body in the forge of the Cyclops

What most people call their astral body is the Body of Desire, the demon Apopi or Judas. The legitimate astral, the solar vehicle of Hod, has to be fabricated in the forge through the transmutation of Si-12.

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

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Desire and Will

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

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

What we need to do is fabricate the authentic Body of Hod, the legitimate astral, a vehicle of Solar nature. It must be fabricated in the Ninth Sphere, working in the Fiery Forge of Vulcan.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Solar Bodies

Let the humans and the dwellers of limbo hear me! Listen then! You need to build the Astral Body in the forge of the Cyclops.

My Return to Tibet, 1969

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

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970 also in The Three Traitors

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

IVThe Solar Mental Body is not a vague, abstract body

The Solar Mind is a body of flesh that does not come from Adam, and receiving it confers the grade of Buddha. He speaks of thinking with the mind he built in the forge, and distinguishes it from the inner Pilate that some authors mistake for it.

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, Netzach

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.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Christ Mind, Netzach, The Solar Bodies, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

Now, I do not have Lunar Mind. Nevertheless, I can think, I use my Solar Mind, the one that I built in the Forge of the Cyclops (sex).

VThe rational animal has no Causal Body

In place of the body of Conscious Will each person carries the demon of ill-will. That body is given form only by working to the maximum in the forge, where the sexual hydrogen Ti-12 receives a third shock.

The Body of Conscious Will (Causal Body) can only be built within the Flaming Forge of Vulcan.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Alchemy, Desire and Will

We can and must give onto the Sexual Hydrogen TI-12 (by means of Maithuna in the Ninth Sphere) a very special third shock in order to pass it into the Fourth Superior Octave of DO-RE-MI FA-SOL-LA-TI.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Alchemy, The Laws of the Three and of the Seven

It is evident that we can crystallize the sexual hydrogen into the paradisiacal body of the Solar Mind with the hammer of the physicists, within the Forge of the Cyclops (the sex). It is indisputable that by working until the maximum in the Ninth Sphere, we can and must give form to the Solar Body of the Conscious Will.

Runic Magic, 1969 also in The Solar Bodies

We do not have the Causal Body, it must be fabricated in the Forge of Cyclops. In its place we have the demon of Ill-will; that which says I don’t like a particular person. These three demons exist in every gospel; with the Buddha it was the Three Furies, the famous Mara. We have to understand that we are demons, and to start from scratch, to be aware of where we are; that we need the Great Destruction of ourselves, the death of the “I”, the destruction of the seeds, and of the lunar bodies. “That which has been born of the Father is in putrefaction”. This means that the Christ is dead, is putrefying, for which reason it is said that each one of us is a living sepulchre. It is said that He is dead because in none of us does He live.

VIThe body of Gold of the Solar Man

The solar bodies together form the To Soma Heliakon, the wedding garment without which no one sits at the Lord's banquet. Only those who wear it can incarnate the Real Being and the Intimate Christ, and the man and the woman make it together in the Ninth Sphere.

It is urgent to build the Solar Bodies in the Flaming Forge of Vulcan. One is prohibited to assist the Lord’s banquet with Lunar Bodies (beggar’s clothing).

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in The Solar Bodies

It becomes absolutely impossible to incarnate the Real Being, if we have not previously built the bodies of gold in the Forge of the Cyclops.

Runic Magic, 1969 also in The Being Is the Being

Fortunately, I built those bodies of gold in the Forge of the Cyclops, in the Flaming Forge of Vulcan.

Runic Magic, 1969

This great Alliance has many aspects. The Gospel speaks of the need for wedding clothes. I not forget the wedding at which someone did not wear wedding clothes, and they bound him and the King ordered that he be cast into the darkness where only the gnashing of teeth is heard. (Matthew 22: 1-14). This famous clothing is the Egyptian Sahu, or the To Soma Heliakon in Latin, that is, the body of Gold of the Solar Man, the wedding clothes in which to attend the banquet of the Easter Lamb, so it is thatwe need to have an understanding that in order to have that body, the great Alliance is needed, the work in the Ninth Sphere between man and woman.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Solar Bodies

However, for the Intimate Christ to be born within us - Jeshua humanised - one must have worked in the Forge of Cyclops and have formed the existential Bodies of the Being.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Intimate Christ, The Solar Bodies

The rational animal has not incarnated his Spirit because he has not yet built his Solar Bodies in the Forge of the Cyclops.

My Return to Tibet, 1969

To Soma Heliakon, the golden body of the solar man, the supersensible vehicles of the soul, must be created in the Flaming Forge of Vulcan, you know this...

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

These miraculous powers are simply the natural products of true Illumination and are possessed by awakened men; those who have created the "Golden Embryo" in the "Flaming Forge of Vulcan" (Sex).

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Awakening

Any esotericist who makes the To Soma Heliakon, the Wedding Dress of the Soul, in the Forge of the Cyclops becomes a Man and thus a Master. However, perfection in mastery is something quite different.

The Three Mountains, 1972 also in The Solar Bodies

The incarnation of the Divine Monad and the distinct parts of the Being is made possible only by preparing the physical body, by means of the work in the Ninth Sphere.

VIIFor what reason do we fabricate the Solar Bodies?

These passages take up the objection that the bodies are dissolved at the Great Pralaya, and answer that the seed atoms remain within the Ain Soph. They add that the bodies alone do not give immortality, and that Gurdjieff and Ouspensky left out the key.

However, not all of these atomic stars from this spiritual firmament are Self-realized. The Genesis-Atom (Ain Soph) of any person who has not built his Solar Bodies within the Flaming Forge of Vulcan is certainly very simple. This type of atom does not contain more atoms.

Runic Magic, 1969 also in Ain, Ain Soph, Ain Soph Aur, The Solar Bodies

One summer night, I was interrogating a group of Gnostic students in the following way: “If at the end of the Mahamanvantara we must disintegrate the solar bodies which we built with so much effort within the Ninth Sphere, then, why did we build them?” None of the these students could give the right answer. Therefore, my explanation was necessary. “It is clear”, I said, “that when the Great Pralaya (Cosmic Night) arrives, the Ain Soph absorbs the three primary forces and disintegrates the four bodies.

Runic Magic, 1969 also in Ain, Ain Soph, Ain Soph Aur

Gurdjieff also commits the error of saying nothing about the lunar bod ies which everyone has, and only says that we must transform the Being and fabricate the Solar Bodies. Ouspensky speaks about the second birth, but his teachings are incomplete. The Solar Bodies are first fabricated in the ninth Sphere, attaining the second birth; but neither Gurdjieff nor Ouspensky give the key.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Solar Bodies

For what reason do we fabricate the Solar Bodies? Why do we descend to the Ninth Sphere? If we have to abandon the Solar Bodies, then why make something which is not going to be used? Upon the dissolution of each one of those Christic vehicles, a Seed Atom remains. Four Seed Atoms clearly remain in those vehicles. It is indubitable that these atoms correspond to the Physical, Astral, Mental and Causal bodies. It is obvious that the four Seed Atoms are absorbed within the Super-Divine Atom, Ain Soph Paranishpanna, along with the Essence, Spiritual principles, Laws and the Three Primary Forces. Then comes the profound night of Mahapralaya.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Solar Bodies

Consequently, as a corollary, we can and must emphasise that they who have not realised the work in the Ninth Sphere (sex), in reality do not possess the Chariot of Mercabah. It is unquestionable that everything changes in the field of action of the Prakriti due to the modifications of Triagunamayashakti and that all human beings are also modified in a positive or negative form. If how ever, we do not fabricate the Chariot of Mercabah, Ain Soph will remain without Intimate Self -Realisation.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

They who have not eliminated the Abhaya Samskara, innate fear, will flee from the Ninth Sphere saying to others that the work in the Forge of Cyclops (sex) is useless.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Fear

The coronary plexus and the creative organs, the gonads correspond to the number 9. The work with the Ninth Sphere has an objective; to create the Solar Bodies. It must be understood however, that although an individual may have fabricated those Bodies, he has not for this reason attained immortality.

Part Nine — Blessed be they who are victorious in the Ninth Sphere

5 passages

IIt is necessary to be born

The Second Birth is gestated in the Ninth Sphere as a child is gestated in the womb, and the number nine marks both. To take up the cross means this sexual work, and he calls it the greatest trial, at which most fail.

PART NINE

thefive-pointedstarthePentalphaman
In the Ninth Sphere the Buddha is born. In the Ninth Sphere the Christ is born.

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

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

We need to be born and being born is, has been and will always be an absolutely sexual problem. It is necessary to be born, and for that one must descend to the Ninth Sphere. That is the greatest test of the supreme dignity of the Hierophant. That is the most difficult trial. It is very rare to find someone who can overcome that difficult trial. As a rule, everybody fails in the Ninth Sphere.

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

Everyone who incarriates his Soul is because of that, a Buddha. Every Buddha must work in the Ninth Sphere to incarnate the Internal Christ. In the Ninth Sphere the Buddha is born. In the Ninth Sphere the Christ is born. First we must be born as Buddhas, and then as Christs. Blessed be Love. Blessed the beings who truly Love one another. Blessed be they who are victorious in the Ninth Sphere.

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

The foetus remains “nine” months in the maternal womb; and “nine” ages are necessary in the womb of Rhea, Tonantzin, Cibeles, in other words, Mother Nature, in order for a Planetary Humanity to be born. So too, it is obvious that we have to descend to the “Ninth Sphere” in order to gestate and achieve that Second Birth.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Eternal Mother Space, The Three Factors

To take up the cross, which by itself is one hundred percent phallic, factually signifies sexual crossing, to work in the Flaming Forge of Vulcan with the evident purpose of achieving the Second Birth.

IIThe Son of Man is born of Water and Fire

From the building of the solar bodies a new man comes forth, the Son of Man. Read with Arcanum 9, the water and the fire that cross in the Ninth Sphere trace the horizontal eight, and every authentic initiation is said to begin there.

We need to be swallowed by the Serpent of Life. It is imperative to raise the Son of Man within ourselves. The Son of Man is born within the water and the fire of the Ninth Sphere (sex). The Son of Man is born now in troubled times. The final Supreme Christmas Message 1959-1960 judgement has already been made for millions of people who have been descending to the atomic infernos of nature since 1950.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

Whoever builds the existential superior bodies of the Being, the solar bodies, in the Ninth Sphere, is able, and has every right, to incarnate his Real Being, his triune immortal spirit: Atman, Buddhi, Manas; Divine Spirit, Life Spirit, Human Spirit, Intimus, Spiritual Soul, Human Soul. When someone reaches these initiatic heights, a new man is born, the son of Man, a new Master of the Day, a Master of the Manvantara.

The 35 principles are Justice, Law; the number 5 is verification. The Water and the Fire intersect in the Ninth Sphere forming the sign of the Infinite, the horizontal 8. Conclusion: 8 =« Ariano Montes, the great esoterist who dwelt in a monastery in Spain, gives us this formula Infinite = Pentalpha which is also to be found in very old books.

IIIWhoever attains the Second Birth comes out of the Ninth Sphere

To incarnate the immortal Triad is the Second Birth, and with it one leaves the forge. Only those who have traversed it receive the flaming sword of justice, and he describes the twice born he met shining in the temple of love.

Whoever attains the Second Birth comes out of the Ninth Sphere (Sex).

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

In fact, to incarnate the Divine Immortal Triad signifies the Second Birth which means to come out of the Ninth Sphere.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Alchemy, The Three Factors

One cannot be just, really just, if one has not attained the Second Birth. When one has traversed the Ninth Sphere, then one receives the Flam ing Sword, then it is said that one is just. He who has not worked in the Ninth Sphere has no right to the Sword of Justice. The 35 principles of Mercy =3+5=8 (Justice). In Arcanum 8 the woman has the Sword of Justice and a Balance for weighing the good and bad actions.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

It is not irrelevant to emphasize that the ‘Second Birth’ becomes a transcendental fact after one has become dressed with the Wedding Garment of the Soul in the Dantesque Ninth Circle.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970 also in The Solar Bodies, The Three Factors

IVThis is how they achieved the Second Birth

The patriarchs left Limbo and returned to a body in order to work in the Ninth Sphere, and the innocent souls still there must do the same. Yogananda received the same warning, a Gnostic friend who failed was seen among the dead, and Sivananda and the angels are given as those who built their bodies.

I will never regret the fact of having warned the Great Yogi, the noble Yogananda, that if he ever wants to enter into the Kingdom, he has to reincorporate himself again into this physical world and get married; thus, by working in the Ninth Sphere he can build his Solar Bodies.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Return and Reincarnation, The Solar Bodies

Many have departed from within Limbo: the Soul of our first Father and Abel his child, Noah the righteous man, Moses the lawgiver, the Patriarch Abraham, King David, Israel with his Father and with his sons, and with Rachel. All of these souls had to reincorporate into the physical world in order to work in the Ninth Sphere, to build their Solar Bodies. This is how they achieved the Second Birth. Now they are angels of an indescribable splendor.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Return and Reincarnation, The Solar Bodies

The Innocent Souls of Limbo need to reincorporate in order to work in the Ninth Sphere and attain the Second Birth, only then can they enter into the Kingdom.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Return and Reincarnation

I met him in the parallel universe of the fifth dimension. My happiness was tremendous when I witnessed that this man had built his Solar Bodies in the Flaming Forge of Vulcan.

Runic Magic, 1969

It is obvious that those holy Gods intensely love this wretched, suffering humanity… It is ostensible that in a remote past these venerable ones worked in the Forge of the Cyclops. Their glorious bodies make them immortals in all of the departments of the Kingdom… It is not difficult to guess that they radically eliminated the lunar bodies…

My Return to Tibet, 1969 also in The Solar Bodies

It is indubitable that the intellectual animal, mistakenly called man, does not possess such vehicles and therefore, he should create them by working in the Lit Forge of Vulcan (sex) In these instants, the case of a friend who disembodied years ago comes to my memory. He was a convinced Gnostic; however, he did not manage to create his existential bodies of the Being this I was able evince in the region of the dead, Limbo.

VCan never return to the Ninth Sphere

Twenty or thirty years of daily work with one spouse precede the birth, and the solar bodies are gestated in the womb of the Divine Mother. Once born, the initiate is forbidden to go back to the forge, for the Maithuna is the lower work of initiation.

To create the solar bodies, we must work in the Maithuna, Sexual Magic, without spilling the semen; we must work in the fiery forge of Vulcan, in the Ninth Sphere (sex). This si more bitter that bile twenty or thirty years of daily sexual connection with only one spouse without ever spilling even one drop of semen, without permitting the semen to escape from the organism.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Chastity, The Benefits of Pranayama, Ham-Sah and Alchemy, The Solar Bodies

The twice born, who is born in the superior worlds as Master of the Manvantara, who leaves the Ninth Sphere because he has completed his work, can never return to the Ninth Sphere. To do so would be a crime: it would be like a child wanting to return to his mother’s womb after his birth.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in The Three Factors

Kundalini has seven degrees of power of fire. Only by practicing the Maithuna daily over a period of twenty or thirty years can a person achieve the total unfolding of Kundalini. The descending serpent the Kundartiguador organ, develops the inferior chakras of the lower belly and transforms man into a terribly perverse and evil beast. The serpent, ascending through the spinal column, develops all the divine powers of the human being. Devi Kundalini, the igneous serpent of our magical powers is Isis, Rhea, Cybele, Tonantzin, Mary, etc. The solar bodies are gestated in the womb of Devi Kundalini, the Divine Mother. When the initiate is born from the womb of the Divine Mother in the superior world, when he leaves the Ninth Sphere (sex), he is forbidden to ever return there again. The twice born enter a secret temple, and if they have sex again, they will fall, losing all their powers.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in The Benefits of Pranayama, Ham-Sah and Alchemy, The Kundabuffer, The Solar Bodies, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

But, what about sex? The Maithuna? Sex Yoga? Then what, oh God of mine?! The Twice Born already know very well that they cannot return into the Flaming Forge of Vulcan. It is obvious that the Maithuna is vital, cardinal and definitive in order to build the Wedding Garment of the soul, the To Soma Heliakon. However, any Initiate knows that this is only the inferior work of the Initiation.

Runic Magic, 1969 also in The Three Factors

Sex is forbidden for the Son of Man, this is known by the Gods, and as thus it is written. First, we must work with the Third Logos in the Ninth Sphere, until reaching the Second Birth (which the great Kabir Jesus spoke of to the Rabbi Nicodemus).

PART TEN

the head of Medusathe Flaming Swordof Perseus
Therefore, we need to descend into the Ninth Sphere (the sex) in order to decapitate the “I”.

If you want to decapitate the ego it is necessary to go down to the Fiery Forge of Vulcan (sex) to cut off the head of Medusa with the Flaming Sword of Perseus. If you want to dissolve the ‘I’ it is necessary to end all your defects. You need to sanctify yourself totally, tread the path of love, because those who Supreme Christmas Message 1958-1959 assume that they can behead the Prince of this World without needing to utilise the Arcanum A.Z.F. really do not know the Sacred Order of Tibet.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

Truly, the only thing that the “I” is useful for, is for doing evil. Therefore, we need to descend into the Ninth Sphere (the sex) in order to decapitate the “I”.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

First we must decapitate the “I” with the sword while in the Flaming Forge of Vulcan. Afterwards, we have to start slowly dying. (The “I” becomes dissolved based on Alchemy and a very rigorous comprehension. This is complete revolution).

The Aquarian Message, 1960

We already know the profane death. Many Theosophical, Rosicrucian, etc., authors have already written about this matter. The death of the Initiate is deeper, more profound! One must descend to the Fiery Forge of Vulcan (Sex), in order to cut off the head of Medusa with the flaming sword of Perseus!

Magnus Opus

This reminds us of the three doors of the temple: Man, Woman, Sex. Only by descending to the ninth sphere (sex) can we find the Prince of this World and decapitate it. The Masters found the first traitor hidden in the cavern of desire. That is how the Master decapitates the first traitor. That is how the Master presents himself before King Solomon carrying in one hand a dagger and in the other the head of the first traitor. Thus the Master exclaims, “With me comes vengeance!”

Mountain of Juratena also in The Three Traitors

These 18 days remind us of the 18th Arcanum of the Tarot. In reality the secret and hidden enemies of the mind spy on us to lead us astray from the path of Initiation. Only nine Masters found the second traitor. Only by descending to the ninth sphere do we manage to decapitate the second traitor.

IIThe ego must be annihilated in the Ninth Sphere, sex

Several short statements say the same thing from different sides: the aggregates are crushed in the forge during the chemical coitus, and there alone are they totally disintegrated. Even the fallen Gods would be redeemed by this work.

If we work in the Ninth Sphere, then all the undesirable psychic aggregates can be disintegrated.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Prayers to the Divine Mother, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

If the fallen Gods would work in the Ninth Sphere, then they would be redeemed.

The total disintegration of the psychic aggregates is possible only by working in the Ninth Sphere.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Egoic perforation and egoic disintegration is performed within the Flaming Forge of Vulcan.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

A representation to dissolve the Ego does not work; in concrete terms, it does not work, because no representation can serve to dissolve the Ego. To dissolve the Ego, the only thing that works is the fertile work in the Forge of the Cyclops.

IIIOne hundred percent of the psychic aggregates can never be disintegrated

A single run sets the measure. Serious devotees may dissolve a quarter or even half of the ego outside the Ninth Sphere, and those prevented from working there for a grave reason are told not to lose heart, but the whole of it is dissolved only with the help of the Woman-Serpent in the forge.

The Woman-Serpent has in her power the marvelous weapons of Vulcan. The total disintegration of all the psychic aggregates is possible only in the Ninth Sphere, and with the help of the Woman-Serpent.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Prayers to the Divine Mother

The Ninth Sphere is sex, the metaphysical copulation, the chemical coitus. The WomanSerpent saves Pistis Sophia. Man and woman sexually united are the foundation of the Luni-Solar Androgenism of ‘IO’, Isis-Osiris.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Isolda, Parabrahatman and Mulaprakriti are the same pure Androgenism. The Androgilia of Ammonio Saccas, written in Latin, teaches all this. Ur-Anas, the primordial fire and primordial water are within the Ninth Sphere. The learned ignoramuses absurdly suppose that they can disintegrate the ego outside of the Ninth Sphere.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

We do not deny that serious devotees can disintegrate twenty-five percent, and even fifty percent of their psychic aggregates outside of the Ninth Sphere. Nevertheless, one hundred percent of the psychic aggregates can never be disintegrated outside of the Ninth Sphere.

IVWe had the opportunity to work with the lance of Achilles

In the forge the weapons of Vulcan are wielded against egos of every weight. Answers to disciples explain working there with Lucifer, and he recalls leaving a sexual pause to return to the forge.

Before reaching perfection, a lot of work in the ‘Ninth Sphere’ is needed. This is with the purpose of removing the dualistic, egotistical and profoundly rooted thoughts which surge forth from within the passions.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

In this way I abandoned my sexual pause and returned to the Forge of Cyclops.

I explained that precisely in the lit forge of Vulcan, we had the opportunity to work with the lance of Achilles.

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

Master: Well “similia similibus curantur”, or that other one that says: ‘As above, so below”. By means of the “flame”, of Vulcan’s weapons, we can disintegrate an Ego that is so heavy. Because there are Egos of ninety-six laws, there are others of forty-eight, of twenty-four and even of twelve. There are also Egos of ninety-six multiplied by one, by two, by three, by four, by five, by six, by seven, by eight, by nine. And, nevertheless, we disintegrate them by means of the work and the technique of the Forge of the Cyclops in the Lit Forge of Vulcan. Even more so a representation! To disintegrate a representation, it does not take so much effort: a little attention and a single work that one does in the Forge.

VI descended to the Ninth Sphere to work

The deepest aggregates, met at the Initiation of Judas, yield only to the spear wielded in the forge. The black dies and the white appears, the initiate seems a putrefying corpse, and those who die on this altar merge with their God.

That is to say, within us the Black dies; then appears the White, that which makes of us Masters. Let us remember for a moment the work in the Ninth Sphere, the dissolution of the “I”. Let us remember the work in the purgatorial region. The Initiates appear there like putrefying cadavers because all of those larvae that we have within us, rise to the surface giving the bodies of the Initiate the appearance of a decomposing cadaver. In the eighth key, being an illustration of the Viridarium Chymicum, death is represented by a cadaver, putrefaction by some horns, the sowing by a humble peasant, growth by a stalk of wheat. The Resurrectio n is represented by a corpse who rises from the sepulchre and by an Angel who sounds the trumpet of the Final Judgement.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

St. Andrew’s torment allegorizes frightful tortures in the Ninth Sphere (the sphere of sex), remorse, and Buddhist annihilation.

But, when it comes to penetrating the occult part of the psychological moon, the hidden part, it requires a greater effort. That already belongs to the Initiation of Judas, it corresponds to the Passion for the Lord. No one could penetrate those areas, if he did not wield the spear in the Forge of the Cyclopes, that is, in the Ninth Sphere. Mysteries? Yes, very profound ones!

Afterward, I had to come face to face with the Initiation of Judas –the Passion of the Lord–.

So I did: I descended to the Ninth Sphere to work and I attained, by means of transcendental sexual electricity wisely directed by the Divine Mother Kundalini, the disintegration of a lot of psychic aggregates which I ignored; that I had, but which I never thought I had, and if anyone had said to me, “you have such defect,” well, frankly, I would not have accepted it.

Gurdjieff made the bodies but, having rejected the Divine Mother, did not dissolve the ego. Whoever has the bodies and keeps the ego becomes a Hanasmussen, so the forge has to serve both works until only the Being remains.

Disciple: Gurdjieff is called a Master. Did he work in the Ninth Sphere or did he only work in the dissolution of the Ego?

The Fifth Gospel Work Taste and Life Taste Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976

Master: He worked in the Ninth Sphere, he fabricated the Superior Existential Bodies of the Being, but he did not achieve the total dissolution of the Ego because he rejected his Divine Mother.

Does any other brother have anything to ask in relation to this?

In my books, I have spoken a lot about sex, I have said plenty about the Lit Forge of Vulcan, about sexual Alchemy. Obviously, by means of the transmutation of the genetic libido –mentioned so many times by Saint Augustine–, it is possible to create the Superior Existential Bodies of the Being in order to become men.

The Fifth Gospel The Verticality of Existence First Gnostic Youth Encounter – Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico – July 10. 1975 also in The Solar Bodies

But what is the use of becoming authentic men in the most complete sense of the word, in the most extraordinary sense, if we do not eliminate the Ego? Whoever possesses the Superior Existential Bodies of the Being and has not eliminated the Ego becomes in fact and in his own right a Hanasmussen with a double center of gravity, a failure, an abortion of the Cosmic Mother. Thus, working in the lit Forge of the Cyclops is necessary, but if we do not eliminate the Ego, we will fail utterly.

The Fifth Gospel The Verticality of Existence First Gnostic Youth Encounter – Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico – July 10. 1975 also in Psychological Death, The Solar Bodies

Undoubtedly, in the Forge of the Cyclops we can do wonders. There is where we can create the To Soma Heliakon, that is, the Wedding Garment of the Soul. It is also there where we can wield this marvelous weapon, that weapon of Eros with which it is possible for us to destroy the psychic aggregates which constitute the Oneself. When we have radically eliminated the Ego, only the Being, the divine, that which is perfect, will remain in us.

These passages pronounce a woe on those who never descend to the forge and on those who despise it. Lunar students curse the science of the Ninth Sphere, the fearful flee it and call the work worthless, and the Initiate who does not work there loses power.

The error of many pseudo-esoterists and pseudo-occultists, monks and anchorites consists of renouncing sex without having previously built the Solar Bodies in the Forge of the Cyclops.

Woe are those that despised the Ninth Sphere!

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959

The power of the Initiates decrease when they do not possess Mystery, which means, when they do not work in the Ninth Sphere (sex).

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Many pseudo-occultist and pseudo-esoterist students abound who say they want to supposedly attain Self-Realization, but since they are lunar, when they get to know this science of the Ninth Sphere, they become scandalized; they curse us, they launch against us their entire defamatory dribble and if we were in the times of Esdras, they would immolate the Sacred Cow, saying, “His blood be on us, and on our children.”

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Those who have not eliminated the Abhayan Samskara, the innate fear, will flee from the Ninth Sphere by telling to others that the work in the Forge of the Cyclops (sex) is worthless. These are the hypocritical Pharisees who “strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.” These are the failed ones who “neither go into the Kingdom themselves, neither suffer they those who are entering to go in.” Indeed, sex is a stumbling rock and a rock of offence…

IIRenouncing sex without having previously built the Solar Bodies

Ascetics, anchorites and the self-styled illuminated who give up sex before building the Solar Bodies and reaching the Second Birth are shown living in the Infernal Worlds. The same error is laid at the door of the Hatha Yoga acrobats who hope to self-realize while leaving out the Maithuna.

Within the Infernal Worlds live many mistaken Ascetics, many abstinent people who have renounced Sex without previously having built the Solar Bodies in the Ninth Sphere, without having previously reached the Second Birth.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in The Klipoth, The Solar Bodies

Those wretched people, who boast of being illuminated, have renounced sex without having previously worked in the Ninth Sphere, without having attained the Second Birth which the Master Jesus spoke about to Nicodemus.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

Mystic Pride is a characteristic of the Interior Pharisee. These are people who boast of being Initiates, Saints and Wise, who renounce sex without having previously built the Solar Bodies, without having previously worked in the Ninth Sphere, without previously reaching the Second Birth; then they wind up developing the Abominable Kundartiguador Organ.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Hypocrisy, Pride, The Kundabuffer

There exist within the labyrinth of all theories many contortionists of Hatha Yoga. Those acrobatic people suppose that they can exclude the Maithuna and Self-realize themselves in depth without the necessity of descending into the Ninth Sphere.

IIIIn constant desire without any hope

Limbo holds the innocent and the illustrious who never descended into the Ninth Sphere. Without the wedding garment of the three Solar Bodies, they live in longing that has no outcome.

Within Limbo, Dante found many innocent children, patriarchs and illustrious men who never descended into the Ninth Sphere. Thus, for no other evil they are condemned; their affliction is to live in constant desire without any hope.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

There in that Limbo of the Molecular World, lives Virgil the Poet of Mantua, the Master of Dante. There also live all of those Pseudo-Esoteric and Pseudo-Occultist Naively Innocent Souls who were not washed of their original sin and who believed that they could Self-realize in depth without the need of working with the Maithuna in the Ninth Sphere. Those naive souls committed the mistake of not getting dressed with the Three Holy Virtues (the Three Solar Bodies: Astral, Mental and Causal).

The Solar Bodies, 1968

Remember that within Limbus live many Saints, wise men and sweet maidens who believed in achieving the inner Self-realization of the Being without Sexual Magic. Poor souls.. .they did not work in the Forge of the Cyclops, they did not build the Solar Bodies, the Wedding Garment of the soul.

Part Twelve — Within the Magistery of Fire there exist many dangers

7 passages

IThe trials of the Ninth Sphere are very fine and subtle

Descent to the Ninth Sphere was the supreme test of the ancient Hierophants, and many who enter it are not victorious. Doctors, friends and darkness disguised as sanctity press the devotee to spill the semen; the failures become demons who think themselves saints, and great suffering must be learned and borne there.

PART TWELVE

99positivenegative9 positive plus 9 negative equals 18
It is clear that within the Magistery of Fire there exist many dangers, both within and without.

In the great ancient civilisations that have preceded us in the course of history the descent to the Ninth Sphere was the greatest test of the supreme dignity of the Hierophant. Hermes, Buddha, Jesus, Dante, Zoroaster and many other Great Masters had to pass through that difficult trial.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

Remember, most beloved disciples, that the Ninth Sphere is the sex. Many are they who enter the Ninth Sphere, but it is very rare to find anyone who is victorious in the difficult trial. Most occult students live fluttering from school to school, from lodge to lodge, always curious, always in search of novelties, on the lookout for any new lecturer who arrives in the city. When any of these students resolves to work with the Arcanum A.Z.F. when any of these students resolves to descend to the Ninth Sphere to work with the Fire and the Water he does as always; “searching”, always curious, always “foolish”. The occultist student turns everything into “little schools and theories”. If he enters the Ninth Sphere, he does so as if he enters “another little school”, always an imbecile, always curious, always foolish. It is difficult to find a serious and determined aspirant of the Truth on the Path of the Perfect Matrimony. Sometimes students appear who are apparently very mature and serious, but in the end they show their true colours. Sad truth, but a fact of this life.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

The trials of the Ninth Sphere are very fine and subtle. The doctor advises the devotee to fornicate because if not, he is told, he will become ill. Her friends stir up fear in the wife; the so-called brothers of different organisations frighten the student. The magicians of darkness, disguised as saints advise the devotee to spill the semen in a saintly manner, the so-called sages teach the aspirant negative sexual magic with the spilling of the semen. The manner of teaching, the sublime and mystic tinge that the tenebrous, disguised as saints give to their doctrine succeeds in misleading the devotee and keeps him away from the Path of the Razor’s Edge. Then the student falls into black magic.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

When the student goes astray, he believes he is wiser than the Masters of Gnosis. Really, the failures of the Ninth Sphere, those who do not succeed in passing the very long and hard trials of this Arcanum, in fact become terribly perverse demons. The worst of it is that no demon believes himself to he bad or perverse. Every demon believes himself to be saintly and wise.

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

I have remained reflecting upon all of this. The Love of Christ is formidable because this lunar group is very sincere, even though these poor little ones have yet to achieve the Second Birth. But they deserve to be helped, so the Lord takes care and cultivates them, as if they were delicate little flowers from the greenhouse. Good opportunities will be finally granted unto them in order to work in the Ninth Sphere. Then, oh yes, disgrace be on them if they would fail in the difficult ordeal.

Runic Magic, 1969

In the Ninth Sphere there is great suffering.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Supreme Pain exists in the Ninth Sphere, as Dante said m Divine Comedy”. One must learn to understand, one must learn to suffer, to be resigned. Those who do not fail. Kabalistic Sephiroth: “Jesod.”

IISooner or later would abandon the work in the Ninth Sphere

The many I's explain why enthusiasm for the forge turns into rejection and flight to some consoling little school. Sleeping disciples and mythomaniacs leave the work while claiming the Second Birth, and those who mix in strange methods or start without the doctrine fall into confusion and grave errors.

The so-called man does not yet have true existence. Man is still an unrealised being. Man is more like a house occupied by many people. Man is like a ship in which many passengers travel (many “I’s”). Each has his own ideals, his projects, desires etc. The “I” that is enthusiastic about the work in the Magistery of Fire is later displaced by another “I” that hates that work, arid if the aspirant began to work in the Forge of Vulcan with much enthusiasm, then we see him later disillusioned, leaving the work and seeking refuge in any little school that offers him consolation. Then later another “I” intervenes to take him from there also. This is the greatest problem. Furthermore, there are many tenebrous visitors. Just as many people enter a city, including personas non gratas, individuals with bad habits, so this unfortunate tragedy is also repeated in the City of Nine Gates (man). Into this city there enter tenebrous inhabitants, who suggest evil ideas and stimulate animal desires. Unfortunately, man is ninety seven percent subconscious, and he clearly ignores all that happens in his interior. When these tenebrous inhabitants totally control the human brain, man does things that he would not normally do for all the money in the world. Therefore it is not strange that even saints may have raped and murdered in one of those fatal moments.

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

In ancient times, the Great Arcanum, the Maithuna, Sex Yoga was only taught to those neophytes who had awakened their consciousness. The Hierophants knew very well that the sleeping disciples sooner or later would abandon the work in the Ninth Sphere. What is the worst is that these failing ones self-cheat themselves by thinking the best of themselves. Almost always they fall as harlots over the arms of some new little school which will grant unto them some kind of consolation. Afterwards, they pronounce phrases like these: I do not follow the Gnostic teachings, because they demand a couple. This is a matter for oneself since the Liberation, the Great Work, is a matter which has to be searched for alone.

Runic Magic, 1969 also in Awakening, Fascination

You must be very sure that when a sleeping mythomaniac works in the Forge of the Cyclops, very soon they will abandon this work, and will say: I already achieved the Second Birth, I am a liberated one, I have renounced Nirvana for the love of humanity, I am a God We have seen many ugly things within our beloved Gnostic Movement. It becomes dreadful to see the mythomaniacs, the sleepy, hallucinated ones prophesying madness, slandering their neighbours, qualifying others as black magicians, etc. Certainly, this is dreadful.

Runic Magic, 1969 also in Clairvoyance, Lying, Slander, Vanity

Through experience, we have been able to see that students were seemingly very serious, but when they got careless, when they did not know how to hide the Inner Lodge, they were duped and taken over by strange persons and strange doctrines. Such people often continued working in the Fiery Forge of Vulcan, but with extremely different methods and systems mixed in, the result of all this being a true “Babel”, a tremendous confusion that served only to bring disorder to the Inner Lodge of the consciousness.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah

So then, to start with the motor center would be absurd. Even more so: to start working with the sexual center without having the correct information of the body of Gnostic doctrine is absurd, because he who starts in these conditions does not know what he is doing, he does not have a clear consciousness of the work in the Forge of Cyclops, and he can, obviously fall into very serious errors.

IIIThe fatal or negative aspect of the Ninth Sphere

Arcanum 18 repeats the nine, positive and negative, and so names the secret enemies of initiation. Whoever works in the Ninth Sphere is attacked at once by the Red Demons, the fight between the powers of sex grows terrible, and in its negative aspect the sphere sends egos back to the wheel of fatality.

The Ninth Sphere is repeated twice in Arcanum 18, this leaves us with a lot to think about. The first nine is positive, and the second nine is nega tive; thus Arcanum 18 shows the fatal or negative aspect of the Ninth Sphere. This aspect is in the spheres of Lilith and Nahemah.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

It is obvious that the infernal worlds are infrasexual. Clearly, infrasexuality reigns supreme amongst humanity some being in the sphere of Lilith, others in that of Nahemah. When one tries to work in the Ninth Sphere one is immediately attacked by the Red Demons; they work to deviate us from the Path of the Razor’s Edge. It is clear that within the Magistery of Fire there exist many dangers, both within and without.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Klipoth

In Arcanum 18 we find the dangers of initiation, the hidden and secret enemies who set out to disrupt the initiation, the subterranean struggle in the dominion of the Ninth Sphere.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

This stone clearly indicates the Arcanum Eighteen of the Hebraic Kabbalah. The occult forces of nature live in a constant struggle. The repeated ninth sphere gives struggle; it carries us to the regions where the fight between the powers of sex is terrible.

The Mayan Mysteries, 1977

In synthesis, it is telling us that one has to be decisive in order to fight in the ninth sphere, in order to prepare the mercury, even if one has to confront the potencies of darkness, which will attack us incessantly in order to make us fall.

The Mayan Mysteries, 1977

The Living Buddhas are recognized incarnations. These are the only cases in which the Universal Spirit of Life incarnates and reincarnates. In the rest of cases, only the values are re-embodied, that is to say, the “I”, the Ego, Satan. Truly, Satan (the Ego), incarnates again only to satisfy desires, that is all. The only reincarnations worthy of admiration are the living reincarnations. The Ninth Sphere, in its positive aspect, brings to the world Living Buddhas, and in its negative aspect it brings memories (“Egos”) to the world, ghosts of personalities that existed and died. That is the wheel of fatality. Now you will comprehend the whole drama of Arcanum 18; 9 positive plus 9 negative equals 18.

IVThe Kundalini descends to one’s own atomic infernos

Black sexual magic, the Maithuna with the spilling of the semen, is called a betrayal of the mysteries of Vulcan. By it the serpent is driven downward to form the tail of Satan, and any sexual fall at once revives some infrahuman element.

23. The Black Magicians of the opposite pole of the sanctuary of Vulcan taught the human being Black Sexual Magic. This was their treason to the mysteries of Vulcan. 24. The mysteries of sex are from the Sanctuary of Vulcan.

Treatise of Sexual Alchemy, 1954

This warrior-Priest was shining as a flame of gold under the thick jungle of the sun. Upon his symbolic shield, Vulcan had engraved many prophesies and terrible warnings. Woe! Woe! Woe! This man committed the error of betraying the Mysteries of Vulcan. The Lucifers of that epoch who were floating in the atmosphere of the ancient continent Mu taught him Black Tantrism, the Maithuna with the ejaculation of the Ens Seminis. What is most grave in this matter is that this man who was so loved and venerated by all the world allowed himself to be convinced and began to practice this type of pernicious Sexual Magic with certain women.

Runic Magic, 1969 also in Chastity

When the student spills the semen during his practices with the Arcanum A.Z.F., he commits the crime of the Nicolaitans who work with the Maithuna in the Ninth Sphere but spill the semen. They use that system in order to make the serpent descend, impelling it to the Atomic Infernos and forming the tail of Satan. This is how man becomes a demon.

They use that system in order to make the serpent descend, impelling it to the Atomic Infernos and forming the tail of Satan.

from Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

When these satanic atoms attempt to rise up through the sympathetic channels to the brain, they are precipitated downwards by the three rays of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Upon descending, these types of tenebrous atoms forcefully collide with the principle atom of the Black Lodge, which resides in the root chakra of the coccygeal bone. This dark atomic god then receives a strong impulse that gives it the power to awaken the Kundalini or Igneous Serpent of our magic powers. In this case the Kundalini descends to one’s own atomic infernos of man, transforming into Satan’s tail. This is how a man is definitively born in the Abyss as a demon of a submerged sublunar type. Many are the students of the Luminous Path who have gone down this dark road. It is good to remember that the Great Masters of the Sanctuary of Vulcan fell into this subtle temptation and became terribly perverse demons.

Answer: Distinguished Gnostic sister, it is unquestionable that any sexual fall, resurrects immediately and by its own right, some subjective infrahuman element; that is why our Lord Jesus Christ said: “The disciple should not let himself fall, because the disciple that lets himself fall, has to fight very much to recover what he has lost afterwards.” Question: Master, you talk to us about war in heaven and we know by your teachings that the fights against the secret enemy should be done in the avernus, that is, descending to the hells.

VThe abominable organ of all the fatalities

Work in the forge without dissolving the ego, or with adultery and betrayal of the Guru, develops the Kundartiguador rather than the Kundalini, even when the cup is not spilled. The Hanasmussen, who worked in the forge without dissolving the ego, is the result, and the Divine Mother does not reward an unrepented crime, since the merits of the heart govern the ascent of the fire.

A Hanasmussen is a Master of the Black Lodge and of the White Lodge. Some sects in the East call them Marut and some of the Mohammedan sects render cult to them. The Hanasmussen has worked in the Forge of Cyclops but has not dissolved the ego; thus they are miscarriages of the Cosmic Mother.

He who does not die in himself, he who does not dissolve the ego, in the end develops the abominable Kundartiguador organ even if he is working in the lit forge of Vulcan (sexyoga). We have already said in previous chapters that the abominable organ of all the fatalities is developed in adulterers, in those who betray the Guru, in the sincerely mistaken ones who are used to justifying transgressions, in the irate and perverse ones, etc., although they are working with white tantrism, although they do not spill the Cup of Hermes.

If Brutus entered to work in the Ninth Sphere, continuing with the crime of treason, could the Divine Mother Kundalini perhaps reward him for treason? I am sure that the Divine Mother Kundalini does not reward crimes; she can forgive them if there is repentance, but she would not become an accomplice to the crime. If the Divine Mother would forgive crimes without the person repenting for them, without him begging for forgiveness, then she would obviously become an accomplice of the crime, she would be delinquent as well, and it does not seem to me that God-Mother can become an accomplice of the crime, a delinquent.

The fires of the heart control the spinal Fires, this is known by anyone who has studied occult anatomy. Otherwise, our Divine Mother would become an accomplice to the crime.

VIThere the lost ones disintegrate

In the ninth circle at the heart of the world the involuting creatures and the lost are reduced to cosmic dust, which is the second death. Dante saw the frozen shades there; even a fallen Bodhisattva may be annihilated in it, though the golden embryo is never lost.

Within the Ninth Sphere of Hell, Dante found those weeping and livid shadows submerged within the ice, all the way up to that mysterious area where the sexual organs are found.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

Since we have entered into the topic of the ninth sphere we cannot forget in this talk, to mention the chalice and the spear of the great archaic mysteries In the ninth sphere, the involuting creatures definitely disintegrate. What happened to Nimrod and his tower of Babel? What will happen to the modem fanatics of such a tower? In vain they will attempt to assault the sky with their rockets; the cosmic journeys are not permitted to intellectual animals; to attempt it, is sacrilege; such trips are exclusively for the authentic, legitimate and true man.

He contrasts it with forced celibacy, and keeps solar brahmacharya for those who have already left the Ninth Sphere.

from The Aquarian Message, 1960

A practice

The Ninth Sphere (sex) is earth’s center, and in the human being, this is the battlefield between the powers of light and the powers of darkness. The secret key, which permits us to enter the Ninth Sphere is the Arcanum A. Z. F., the Sahaja Maithuna. Remember that the symbols of Shiva, the Third Logos, are always the black lingam inserted in the yoni. The important thing is not to ejaculate the Ens Seminis during the sexual act, because within the Ens Seminis is found all the Ens Virtutis of the fire.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

A practice

The best asana (sacred posture) for the Maithuna is the normal one breast against breast, face-to-face, solar plexus against solar plexus in order to form a perfect androgyny; later, the man and woman withdraw from the sexual act before orgasm and seminal ejaculation. Pseudo-esoteric and pseudo-occult reactionaries suppose they can awaken Kundalini by means of brahmacharya or forced celibacy. All initiates of authentic mystery schools know, through direct experience, that it is impossible to achieve the awakening and development of the seven grades of the power of fire without Tantric practices. There are two types of brahmacharya (sexual abstention) solar and lunar. Solar Brahmacharya is obligatory for all those who have already been born in the superior worlds with solar bodies, that is, for those who have left the Ninth Sphere.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Chastity, The Benefits of Pranayama, Ham-Sah and Alchemy, The Law of Polarities, The Solar Bodies

Many sincerely mistaken people, by many ignoramuses who have never worked in the Ninth Sphere, who have not built the solar bodies, who are without inner self-realization, practice lunar brahmacharya. The practice of lunar brahmacharya is harmful to those who have not built the solar bodies because they become charged with frightfully evil and terrible vibrations.

We have to descend to the ninth sphere (sex), in order to decapitate the three traitors of Hiram Abiff. All the great initiates of the past had to descend to the ninth sphere. The secret key is the Great Arcanum. This Arcanum is sexual. There must be sexual connection. The key is found in the union of the phallus with the uterus, what is important is for the couple to retreat before consummating the sexual act, before the spasm, before the physiological orgasm to avoid the ejaculation of semen; one must not ejaculate the semen inside or outside of the womb. The refrained desire transmutes the seminal fluid into rarefied seminal vapors, which at the same time convert themselves into solar and lunar energies, positive and negative. Those electro-magnetic energies ascend through two fine ganglionic channels that wrap around the spinal cord. Those energies rise up to the chalice, that chalice is the brain. That is how the brain is semenized. That is how the semen is cerebrated.

Remember dear reader that in the middle of the chest you have a very special magnetic centre which captures the waves of light and glory which come from your Human Soul; She is Tiphereth, Arcanum 6 of the Tarot. Listen to Her, obey the commands which arise from Her. Act in accordance with those intimate impulses; work in the Forge of Cyclops when this is what She wishes. If you learn to obey you will not perish in the belly of the whale.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Human Soul, Tiphereth

A practice

Act in accordance with those intimate impulses. Work in the Forge of the Cyclops when your Soul requires it from you. If you learn to obey you will not perish in the belly of the Whale.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970 also in The Human Soul

A practice

If we truly comprehend all this and we begin to change our way of thinking and feeling, very soon this will be reflected in our actions. As soon as one has changed ones way of thinking, feeling, and acting, then one is ready to begin to work with the mysteries of sex. The error of some missionaries is that they want people to begin to work with the Maithuna, in the Ninth Sphere, all at once, without at least knowing the body of the doctrine. Well, this is absurd. The people who have not changed their way of thinking, who continue with their same habits, the people who have their same ways of feeling, who are victims of negative emotions; these people do not comprehend the mysteries of sex, they profane them.

For the Few, 1980

That is why Paracelsus insisted that everyone must first know the science in order to then enter the Ninth Sphere to work. Philipus Theophrastus Bombast von Hohenheim, Aureolus Paracelsus, is right in this.

For the Few, 1980

A practice

The importance of sex is always spoken of in Gnosis, but we will only work successfully in the Fiery Forge of Vulcan on the condition that first we change our way of thinking so that we have a wealth of information, and then we make ourselves more conscious of the teachings.

IIIIn those instants when one works in the Forge of the Cyclops

A handful of rules for the moment of the work itself. The mind takes an edifying and dignifying attitude while the centres look after themselves, the smoke is separated from the flames, the Pratimokcha is kept, and the double current of fire and water is held in concentration as the Holy Eight.

A practice

Let us concentrate profoundly on this Holy Symbol, on the Ineffable Eight, on that double current of fire and water that is wisely interwoven in the Ninth Sphere within the living entrails of the earth.

My Return to Tibet, 1969 also in The Science of Meditation

A practice

The Pratimokcha is necessary during the work with the gold and with the silver, with the Sun and with the Moon, in the Forge of the Cyclops.

My Return to Tibet, 1969

A practice

I understood clearly that during the work in the Ninth Sphere I should separate very carefully "the smoke from the flames''.

Disciple: When one practices in the Ninth Sphere, what should be the attitude of the five centers?

A practice

Master: The attitude of the five centers? Yes, these centers work by themselves without any of our worries. What is necessary indeed is to mentally assume an edifying and essentially dignifying attitude; I mean in those instants when one works in the Forge of the Cyclops. That is how it should be.

IVI.A.O. is the mantra of the Ninth Sphere

The mantras of the work are given here with their condition: they belong to the Ninth Sphere and are vocalised during the Maithuna, I.A.O. above all, with the three principles of sulphur, mercury and salt. A mantram of defence for those in the forge and the Aztec chain of nine women and three men, which he calls the chain of the Ninth Sphere, complete the section.

A practice

There exists an Aztec chain of immense power for the Magician. Let us study this chain: If you study the illustration of chapter eighteen, you will see nine women forming a half moon chain and three men in the center forming a triangle. The men are found seated in the Oriental posture (legs crossed). This chain represents the Ninth Sphere (sex). This chain is completely sexual. The nine women attract lunar forces.

Aztec Christic Magic, 1973

A practice

The Moon is of a feminine nature. The Sun is of a masculine nature. When the solar and lunar atoms make contact with the coccygeal bone, close to the Triveni, then the Spiritual fires awaken and the development, evolution and progress of the Kundalini begins. The nine women constitute the Ninth Sphere (sex). The men represent the three aspects of the Logos or the human being in his three aspects of Body, Soul and Spirit. Each of the three men of the triangle has in his right hand a reed. This reed represents the spinal medulla. Let us remember that the Holy Jerusalem is measured with a reed. The three men of the triangle will charge themselves with the strength of the chain. The Christic energy rises through the medullar canal, vivif,ring fires and awakening the chaksas of the astral body. The Sanctuary must be carefully arranged in accordance with the laws of occultism. The Aztecs had a well of pure water inside the Sanctuary so that it would attract lunar forces. There was never absent from this well the lunar animal that is known as the frog. The frog and the water attract lunar forces. The liturgical system to attract solar forces is also very easy and simple. They would paint on the ground a circle of eight palms in diameter. In the center of the circle they would light the fire. Any Gnostic student today can arrange his Sanctuary in a similar manner. This is easy.

Aztec Christic Magic, 1973 also in The Law of Polarities

A practice

The women charged with the forces of this chain can also carry out many marvels. Really the chain of the Ninth Sphere is marvellous. Every Gnostic Sanctuary can work with the chain of the Ninth Sphere.

Aztec Christic Magic, 1973

A practice

Everyone who is working in the Fiery Forge of Vulcan can defend themselves with this powerful mantram. This mantram is vocalized by pronouncing each syllable. With this mantram one can conjure demons that control the possessed.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Elemental Magic, The Keys of Astral Travel, The Mantras

A practice

There exist many formidable Mantras for the Awakening of the Kundalini; however these only take effect if they are chanted in the Ninth Sphere during the Maithuna (Sexual Magic).

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in The Benefits of Pranayama, Ham-Sah and Alchemy, The Mantras

A practice

What we are seeing here is the esotericism of the Holy 3. The I.A.O. is the fundamental mantram of the Maithuna; it is within the Ninth Sphere that it must resound. He who wants to raise the soul of the world along the spinal colunm must work with Sulphur (fire), with Mercury (water), and with Salt (philosophical earth).

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Alchemy, The Mantras

These are the 3 elements, the 3 principles for working in the Fiery Forge of Vulcan. In Basil Valentine’s manuscript Azoth, the secret of the Great Work is found. The 12 secret keys are the sexual energy of the Logos when the Rose of the Spirit flowers upon the cross of our body.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Alchemy

The 3 principal elements are the 3 Hebrew letters which correspond to the 3 principal elements within the Great Work of nature. In this way we produce living gold. He who does not make Spiritual Gold is not an esotericist. One descends to the Ninth Sphere and fabricates it in the Fiery Forge of Vulcan.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

I.A.O. is the sacred name. I.A.O. is the mantra of the Ninth Sphere. I.A.O. is the Dharani of sexual magic.

VWe can and must invoke Isis in the Flaming Forge of Vulcan

In the forge the union itself is treated as a form of prayer. He gives his own cry to Isis as he went down into the forge, and directs couples to pray at the connection of the lingam-yoni and to call on Kamadevi and the Divine Mother there.

A practice

I wept a lot, I descended into the Forge of the Cyclops, I shouted with the whole strength of my soul: “Hear my imploring voice, oh Isis! Tear thy cowl… and thy unknowable star…! Have pity on me, make me a sign of light…”

VINot only for being born, but also for dying

The defect already comprehended is handed to Devi Kundalini during the work, when sexual electricity reinforces her, and she reduces it to dust. He says the heads of the Hydra fall only by this means, that cleansings cannot do it, and that the same transmutation which builds the bodies also dissolves the ego.

It is only possible to eliminate the heads (psychological defects) of the Hydra of Lerna by means of the transcendent sexual electricity, during the Sahaja Maithuna in the Forge of the Cyclops.

The Three Mountains, 1972 also in Prayers to the Divine Mother, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

A practice

We can invoke Isis-Marah during the chemical copulation. We will then receive help. If we invoke the Divine Mother-Serpent, Isis, Adonia, in the Ninth Sphere, that is to say, if we invoke her during sex, during the moment of the chemical coitus, then, She can disintegrate any psychological defect.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Prayers to the Divine Mother, The Science of Meditation, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

A practice

The transcendental sexual electricity, in the Forge of the Cyclops, reinforces Stella Maris. Obviously, this is why it is preferable to invoke the Igneous Serpent of our magical powers while in the Flaming Forge of Vulcan, during the precise moment of metaphysical copulation.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Prayers to the Divine Mother, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

A practice

Master: There, the only thing that is worthwhile is the spear and a firm work with the Divine Mother Kundalini in the Forge of the Cyclopes. There, cleansings will not do. Psychic aggregates are not eliminated with cleansings. Any other question? Let us see, sister.

The Fifth Gospel The Danger of Mental Effigies Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 1977 also in Prayers to the Divine Mother, Psychological Death, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

Master: Well, there is a very elevated Trimurti which is the Father, the Logos and the Holy Spirit. Unquestionably, the Holy Spirit is the sexual force. This sexual force develops, unfolds and processes in the Lit Forge of Vulcan.

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

A practice

If we invoke Shakti-Kundalini, precisely, in the Forge of the Cyclops, she will assist us reinforced by the power of the Third Logos, that is, of the Holy Spirit, and will very quickly disintegrate the psychic aggregate that we are interested in disintegrating. This is how the Holy Spirit, Shiva or Third Logos –as you say– exercises his role in the work of disintegration. Let’s see...

The Fifth Gospel Of Impressions Lecture given to the brothers of Colombia – Mexico City – 1975 also in Prayers to the Divine Mother, Psychological Death, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

A practice

Now then, disintegration becomes easier when the work is done in the Ninth Sphere, because the power of Devi-Kundalini is reinforced with transcendent sexual electricity. In that way, a defect that one could have disintegrated in six months or one year of work, he can disintegrate it in one month or in fifteen days or in one week in the Ninth Sphere. There one has to cry out to Devi-Kundalini so that she pulverizes this or that mistake.

The Fifth Gospel Didactic Synopsis of Mystical Death also in Prayers to the Divine Mother, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

When working in the laboratorium oratorium of the Third Logos, when the creative energy is totally transmuted in the Lit Forge of Vulcan, besides creating the Superior Existential Bodies of the Being, one could also be working in the dissolution of the Ego.

The Fifth Gospel The Verticality of Existence First Gnostic Youth Encounter – Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico – July 10. 1975 also in Prayers to the Divine Mother, Psychological Death, The Benefits of Pranayama, Ham-Sah and Alchemy, The Solar Bodies

A practice

It is precisely there, in the Ninth Sphere, where the mysteries of life and death are gestated; it is precisely there, in the Forge of Cyclops, where we must invoke Devi Kundalini-Shakti, the Igneous Serpent of our magic powers; it is there where we must call Stella Maris to disintegrate this or that psychological error that we have previously comprehended in all the levels of the mind. Then we will be helped by Stella Maris, by Devi Kundalini, Isis, Adonia, Isomberta, Rhea, Cybele, and she will disintegrate the “I” or defect in question, the one which we have comprehended, the one which we have discovered.

The Fifth Gospel The Verticality of Existence First Gnostic Youth Encounter – Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico – July 10. 1975 also in Prayers to the Divine Mother, The Science of Meditation, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

Thus, in the Forge of the Cyclops, Devi Kundalini-Shakti, the Sacred Cobra of the ancient mysteries, the IAO, is terribly strengthened with the transcendental sexual electricity, and she is duly prepared in such moments to instantly reduce to dust any “I”-defect.

The Fifth Gospel The Verticality of Existence First Gnostic Youth Encounter – Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico – July 10. 1975 also in Prayers to the Divine Mother, The Science of Meditation, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

So, take advantage of the work in the Forge of Cyclops, not only for being born, but also for dying. That is all.

The Fifth Gospel The Verticality of Existence First Gnostic Youth Encounter – Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico – July 10. 1975 also in Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

A practice

When one has understood that he has this or that defect and comes to discover its origin, then he is duly prepared for the third aspect, which is elimination. If one concentrates, in the Ninth Sphere, on Devi Kundalini-Shakti, his Divine Cosmic Mother, begging her to eliminate this or that comprehended defect, she will help him and she will disintegrate it, she will reduce it to ashes, to cosmic dust, to dust of the earth. That is the path that leads to the dissolution of the Ego. We must dissolve our defects in accordance with this instruction. In war, spies are first discovered, then prosecuted, and finally taken to the wall: they are executed. This is how we must proceed with all the defects that we carry inside us, that is the obvious path to follow.

VIIIn the Ninth Sphere or possibly alone

The last passages measure the work of the couple against the work of those without a partner. The single person still has the Mother's help in meditation, yet in the forge a defect yields in days instead of months, and the whole of the aggregates can be removed rather than a quarter of them; the student who has just discovered an I at work is told to take it to the forge at once, even when offended.

A practice

The highest degree of power of Devi Kundalini is found in sex. This does not mean that because an individual does not have a woman, or because a woman does not have a man, they will not eliminate their mistakes; clearly, they will always count on the help of the Mother Kundalini. What I mean is that the main force of Devi Kundalini is in the sex, and that if someone is lucky enough to have a wife, or a woman to have her husband, they may well work in the Forge of Cyclops and ask Devi Kundalini, during the work, to eliminate this or that psychological defect that has already been duly comprehended. In this way we are dying from instant to instant, from moment to moment.

A practice

Then, visualizing, we will gather psychological data: we will find the “I” of jealousy as the first one in action; secondly, that of tremendous anger; thirdly, that of self-love, mortally wounded. Once those three who entered into action in the scene have been discovered, they will have to be worked on immediately: they will have to be dissolved. Once comprehended, there is no other alternative than to reduce them to ashes. One will enter to work, in any case immediately, in the Ninth Sphere or possibly alone.

A practice

It is very clear that, in those moments, nobody feels like working in the Ninth Sphere; one is so offended that the only thing that would be suitable for him would be a good bath and washing himself with a kilo of soap, and see if it passes in that way. But if, in spite of everything, he manages to have some self-dominion to work in the Forge of the Cyclops, all the better.

So, we have to understand this. She is Marah, Isis, Adonia, Isomberta, Rhea, Cybele, Astarte, Diana, Tonantzin, etc. Among the people of serpentine culture, she is the Igneous Serpent of our magic powers. When the devotee invokes her, she assists him. Obviously, she has the power to disintegrate any psychic aggregate. Undoubtedly, those who work in the Lit Forge of Vulcan can invoke her precisely in the moments when the lingam-yoni of the Greek Mysteries is properly connected. Reinforced with the transcendental sexual electricity, she quickly disintegrates any aggregate previously comprehended.

The Fifth Gospel Causes and Consequences of the Kundartiguador Organ also in Prayers to the Divine Mother, Psychological Death, The Science of Meditation, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

Those who do not yet work in the Forge of the Cyclops can invoke her during meditation and she will assist them by disintegrating the psychic aggregates. I clarify: in the work that is carried out in the Forge of the Cyclops, one manages to eliminate one hundred percent of the psychic aggregates, however, when one does not work in the Lit Forge of Vulcan, one can only eliminate twenty-five or thirty percent of the aggregates.

How this was made. All fifty-two books were extracted (73,105 paragraphs, 2,157,671 words) and swept for the Ninth Sphere in every form he gives the name (the Ninth Sphere, the ninth sphere, the 9th sphere), and for his other names for the place: the forge of Vulcan and the forge of the Cyclops, the ninth circle, Arcanum 9 and the Hermit, and the ninth stratum or vault. The bare forge, Vulcan and the descent were kept only where the sexual work is named beside them, and where his sentence ran across the paragraph break the paragraph beside it was offered too (65 of them). That returned 729 candidate paragraphs in 34 books. Every candidate was read twice, by independent readers working from a written brief. The two passes agreed on whether to print 96.3% of the time and on the class 93.6%, and a third reader, who saw neither verdict, settled the 27 they did not. 502 were judged printable. Five of them were left out as near word-for-word repeats of a passage kept, and thirteen were joined into the passage before them where his sentence ran across several paragraphs, so 484 passages are printed here. The rest are recorded with the reason each was set aside.

The practices were not gathered in a separate pass. The 41 passages marked as practices are the ones the readers marked as giving the reader something to do, and they are gathered as the last part, with the 14 passages that stand beside them and ground them.

What was set aside. 34 were false friends (16 the Cyclops of legend or their cyclopean walls, 12 a hermit in a story rather than the Hermit of Arcanum 9, the rest Vulcan in another sense or another abyss, circle or sphere), 24 named the Ninth Sphere only in passing, 21 belonged to another work of the shelf (most of them the descending serpent, which is The Kundabuffer’s), 18 stood next to a passage on the subject but were about something else, and 10 were narrative told for itself. 84 more were judged and not printed, 54 of them a reprint of a passage kept and 12 a bare heading, and 36 were judged the second halves of sentences begun in the paragraph before.

Much of it he spoke. 50 passages come from the two Fifth Gospel volumes, across 18 named lectures, each cited by the name of the lecture.

Five words were mended. In Tarot and Kabbalah, Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma and The Buddha’s Necklace the scanner had split four words (“de scend”, “de struction”, “frie nd”, “Arca num”), and they are printed whole, and had misread one (“flit” for “fire”), which is printed as he wrote it. No other word of his is changed.

No sentence of his is cut in half. Each range was extended against the corpus until his sentence closed, and 71 ranges run over more than one paragraph.

Five paragraphs were left out on purpose, each because it repeats, almost word for word, a passage printed here: two in Tarot and Kabbalah (kept in The Perfect Matrimony and Parsifal Unveiled), two in a second transcription of a lecture in The Fifth Gospel (kept in For the Few), and one in The Revolution of the Dialectic (kept in Pistis Sophia Unveiled). In each case one copy is kept.

246 passages also stand in a finished work, and every one is marked where it stands, most often in The Solar Bodies (49), Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted (36) and Prayers to the Divine Mother (30). The repetition is wanted: this is the vocabulary of the whole teaching, and a reader who meets the same line in a second book holds it better. What is not allowed is an overlap a reader cannot see.

Three passages carry an editor’s note. Where a passage could be read as setting something other than the work of the couple beside it, the note under it gives his later teaching, with where to find it.

Checked five ways. Every reader’s note was proved to sit on the passage as it is actually printed. Every printed pair was compared as sequences and the close ones read. Every ragged edge was repaired or named. Every one of the 41 passages marked a practice was proved, or read by eye, to carry its own instruction. And every passage was checked word for word against a fresh extraction of its book.

A themed work of The Books, beside Alchemy, which prints the method, and The Benefits of Pranayama, Ham-Sah and Alchemy, which prints its fruits. This one is the place itself. It wears the pale ember-stone and the themed works’ two hairlines, in the forge red.
