The Priestess

In the Waters of Life the two columns of the Temple of Isis are shown; the white, Jakin and the black, Boaz. Each one has four levels indicating the Four Bodies of Sin; Physical, Vital, Astral and Mental. Above, a female Master appears seated between two larger columns. She is within a temple and is facing us; for this reason the columns are reversed. The fact that she is seated indicates to us her passive aspect. In Arcanum number 1 the Magician is standing; the active aspect. She is showing her left profile, her negative aspect.

1 Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Magician

In her lap there is a half-opened book, which she partially covers with her shawl. This indicates that she is Wisdom, that she teaches the Kabbalah. Upon her chest is the Crux Ansata, the symbol of life, of the fundament, Venus, the Tao Cross. The cross upon her naked breast signifies that its product, the Milk, are the Virtues.

2 Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in INRI and the Cross

The serpent upon her brow indicates Mastery; that she is arisen.

3 Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Above her head are the horns of the Sacred Bull Apis, husband of the Divine Cow. Internally the horns signify the Father, and externally, the “psychological I” (our defects). We also find the attributes of the Little Calf, or Kabir. The circle is the Serpent which bites its tail, representing the Cosmic Mother, the Sacred Cow. The veil which covers her face is the veil of Isis.

4 Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Five Aspects of the Divine Mother

Description of Stela H: The Priestess The face of this deity has a completely hieratic countenance. Her miter carries all the characteristics of the true priesthood; she is omnipotent, marvelous. The form of her ears indicates the Verb, the Word. The pectoral that rises from the center of her chest until practically connecting it with her ears indicates that the true man, Tiphereth, the human soul that is in the center of her chest, must know how to listen the Verb, the Word, the sapience, the wisdom.

6 The Mayan Mysteries, 1977 also in The Human Soul, Tiphereth

The Mother carries her son, the Verb, in her arms. She is seated between the two pillars that symbolize the man and the woman. Adore the Virgin of the sea, my brothers. In the second Arcanum of the Tarot appears the Divine Mother making with her hand the sign of priestly esotericism. Study from the sacred book of your Divine Mother. “Ask and you shall receive; knock and it shall be opened unto you.” Your Divine Mother can grant the occult powers you long for. Pray to your Divine Mother. Practice your esoteric exercises; you may ask your adored Mother for clairvoyance, telepathy, clairaudience, the faculties for astral emergence, etc. You can be certain that your Divine Mother will know how to listen to your supplications. You must meditate profoundly every day on your Divine Mother, praying and supplicating. “You need to be devoured by the Serpent.” One—1—is the man, two—2—the Woman. Man is one pillar of the temple; Woman is the other one.

7 Esoteric Course of Kabbalah, 1969 also in Clairvoyance, Prayer in the Work, Prayers to the Divine Mother, The Science of Meditation, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

The number 200,000,000, gives us the second Arcanum of the Tarot, when its numbers are Qabbalisticaly added together. The second Arcanum is the woman, the Priestess, occult science.

8 The Aquarian Message, 1960

Arcanum number 1 is the Magician, that which initiates, which begins; the 1. It is Unity, the Divine Spirit of each person, the Monad or Immortal Spark of each human being, of each living creature. The One is the mother of all unities. The One unfolds to become that which is the fol lowing Arcanum, the Priestess.

9 Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Being Is the Being, The Magician

ESOTERIC MEANING OF THE ARCANUM Arcanum number 2 is the Priestess, Occult Science. In the region of the Spirit, the One is the Father who is in Secret, the Two is the Divine Mother who is the Unfoldment of the Father.

10 Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Being Is the Being, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

Unity becomes the origin of Duality, or the Binary: 1 + 1 =2; and finally, in that Unity is the fulfilling synthesis of the Ternary. The Unity, the 1, is the Divine Monad, the First Logos, the Father who is in secret. Each one of us has his own individual Monad. Madame Blavatsky used to say that there are as many Fathers in heaven as there are men on Earth. The Father, in turn, or of himself unfolds into the Divine Mother. So it is that He and She are Brahma because She becomes the feminine aspect of Him. We see then how Unity is the root of the Binary, given that the latter could not exist without the Unity. If the Monad had not existed the Divine Mother would not have existed. The Monad is the root of Duality. There are as many Mothers in heaven as there are men upon the Earth. Each one of us has his internal God, or his own particular celestial Father and Mother. In explaining this, it is better understood why Unity is the fulfilling synthesis of the Ternary and how and why it is produced. When Jesus prayed, he prayed to the Father who is in secret, and he left us a prayer which is the “Our Father”. This prayer is completely magical. It takes a couple of hours to pray the “Our Father” well, because each petition which is made to the Father is totally magical. The mistake that people make is to pray it in a mechanical manner, and this has no effect. The prayer must be broken down, analysed; and in order to do this one must relax the body so that not a muscle is tense, and then to concentrate, combining prayer with meditation.

11 Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Prayer in the Work, The Being Is the Being, The Law of Polarities, The Magician, The Science of Meditation, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

These claws have a very grandiose meaning. If we add number 11 kabalistically: 1 + 1 = 2; we get Arcanum number 2 which is the Priestess, Occult Science, the Divine Mother. She herself is living “Fire”, and for this reason, in the Orient she is called Devi Kundalini in the individual, and Maha Kundalini in the macrocosmic. It is vital to learn to work with the Fire and for this reason the “Two” breaks down kabalistically into 1 Man + 1 Woman who must work with the Fire, in the Magistery of Fire. The chariot pulled by lions is a very esoteric allegory and comes from most ancient times. The chariot represents the human being, the lion, Fire. It is none other than a living symbol of the Solar Man, the Sun-Man. When the chariot is spoken about, it is an allusion to the internal bodies of man; the vital, astral, mental; the Real Being must mount that chariot. The Zohar depicts the “Ancient of Days” travelling across the Infinite in his chariot. Without doubt, the Real Being must always travel in his chariot in order to work in the worlds.

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

Number 1 divides into the dyad. The number 2 is the first Trimurti in its second aspect, the Christ. This should not be confused with the second Trimurti in which the Father divides into the Mother, and She into the Child.

13 Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Mars descends to the Blazing Forge of Vulcan in order to retemper his sword and conquer the heart of Venus; Hermes, to clean the stables of Augeas with the sacred fire; and Perseus to cut off the head of Medusa. Remember, beloved disciples, that our Divine Mother is Nut and that her word is fifty six—56. This number is kabbalistically reduced as follows: 5 + 6 = 11; 1 + 1 = 2. One is the Father. Two is She, Nut, the Divine Mother Kundalini.

14 Esoteric Course of Kabbalah, 1969 also in Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

Chokmah. Wisdom. The Priestess of the Tarot. Occult wisdom. The second card of the Tarot. The moon, primitive hieroglyph, is the mouth of man, Binah. Intelligence. The Planet Venus, the third card of the Tarot. The Empress. The primitive symbol is a hand in the attitude of taking.

15 Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in Binah, Chokmah, Sagittarius

Two priests always tended the Fire. Here we have the binary. They each used tongs to place the pieces of wood, and a spoon to scatter in it the perfumes. There were then, two tongs and two spoons. In all this we can see the binary. By this, one is given to understand that only the Number Two can tend the Fire. It is necessary that man and woman in perfect binary, light and tend the Divine Fire of Ahura Mazda.

16 The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 also in The Law of Polarities

The 2 is negative. In the temples in ancient times there was a priest and a priestess. In the primordial Masonry there was a Master and a Mistress. Count Cagliostro tried to establish Egyptian Masonry in England. He had, however, many enemies and established two thrones. Giovanni Papini met Count Cagliostro on board a boat. They became friends and Cagliostro told him who he was. He wanted to avert the Second World War, but as no-one took any notice of him, he went once again to Tibet, saying that he would return 60 years later. Egyptian Masonry was grandiose; in anc ient times, when the sacred hermaphrodites existed, the 1 and the 2 were fused. In the polar epoch of the First Protoplasmic Race, humanity was androgynous. Sexual reproduction then took place in determined periods of the year. One divided into two; that two was the son.

17 Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Law of Polarities, The Root Races

The masculine and feminine principles conjoin in the Holy and mysterious Tetragrammaton; an esoteric name which must not be spoken in vain and which has a relationship with the letters of the name of the Eternal in Hebrew. He Vau He Iod (Hebrew symbols which are read in reverse). Iod: Eternal masculine principle. He: Eternal feminine principle. Vau: Masculine phallic principle; the Lingam. He: Feminine principle; the uterus, the Yoni. Iod He Vau He reduces to SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. These four letters have within them, immense priestly power. They must be pronounced like the howling of a cyclone in the mountains, or imitating the wind. They are spoken softly when one wants to heal one who is ill, or to invoke a Deity. They serve also for meditation. Within these four letters are represented the two principles, masculine and feminine of the Macrocosmos and the microcosmos; the Staff - masculine principle, and the Goblet - feminine principle. In these four letters is the principle of the Eternal which must not be pronounced in vain. The number “2” is essential. The Mystery Temples never lack “2” altars. One can not enter into the Temple without passing two columns where there are two guardians. What would there be of the Great Life if the number “2” did not exist? The Matripadma receives the masculine Fohat ray. The Holy Spirit, husband of the Divine Mother fecundates it, and the universe comes into being. What would there be of life without the other principle? Before the dawn of the Mahamanvantara, the Cosmic Day, nothing existed, the Gods lived in that which is nameless, without form, without sound, with out silence, and without hearing to perceive it.

18 Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Law of Polarities

In the number 2 are the two columns, Jakin and Boaz; there is association. One must learn to associate ideas, thoughts, to associate with people, things, the family. One must know how to listen to contrary opinions without becoming annoyed, to dissolve the “I” of anger, to cultivate harmony, so that associations may be harmonious.

19 Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Anger

Within the 2 are relationships; mother with child, woman with man, man with woman, relationships with things, with the antithesis, with opinions. One must learn to manage ideas, dealings, in peace and serenity; that is the number 2. One must learn to manage the 2.

20 Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Patience and Serenity

By means of this Arcanum the Matrix is made, is modelled, where images take form. Arcanum 2 is the Thesis expounding the Antithesis. It is the Fount which accumulates the waters of the Spring. It is the dual manifestation of the Unity. Upon dividing, the Unity gives origin to receptive, productive femininity in all nature.

21 Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Law of Opposites

The Hebrew letter Beth expresses the dualism of the two columns of the temple. Jakin is the right-hand column, which is white, the man, the masculine principle and Boaz the black left-hand column, the woman, the feminine principle. Between the two columns ‘J’ and ‘B’ is the Great Arcanum. It is precisely this which many masonic brothers do not understand. The Cubical Stone in its crude state is located between the two columns, and once worked it becomes the Cubical Stone of Jesod; this is none other than Sex, the sephiroth Jesod. One must know the Arcanum, the Maithuna, which is represented by the Chisel of Intelligence and the Mallet of Will.

22 Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Law of Polarities, Yesod

The second letter is Hope - Beth The third letter is Charity - Nun The first letter is Death and Regeneration; note what an intimate relationship there is between Death and Water. Arcanum number 13 which is the Death, is related to the Waters; without the Transmutation (Arcanum 14) of the Waters, it is impossible to attain the Second Birth.

23 Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Three Factors

The second letter, Arcanum 2, the House of the Spirit, is related to the Sanctum Sanctorum, which means the Consciousness, the Philosophical Stone without which there could be no Transmutation. It is necessary to fabricate the Solar Bodies; new wine (the Intimate Christ) cannot be placed in old wineskins (the lunar bodies). The Solar Bodies need to be fabricated to contain that Sacred Wine.

24 Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Solar Bodies

In Arcanum 2 is the Philosophical Stone with which all of the Transmutations are realised. The Stone, without which sexual transmutation can not be attained, must be chiselled. This means that one must work hard, this indicates to us Arcanum 14, Transmutation.

25 Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Hebraic letter: “Beth”.

26 Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

The Intimate dwells in his temple. The temple of the Intimate has two columns: Jakin and Boaz. Jakin is the mind. Boaz is the astral body. The mind is the Sephiroth Netzach. The astral is the Sephiroth Hod.

27 Christmas Messages also in Netzach, The Words He Uses

These two columns of the temple sustain themselves on the cubic stone of Jesod. That cubic stone also serves as the foundation of the kingdom of Malkuth. That cubic stone is the etheric body. Malkuth is the physical body.

28 Christmas Messages also in Netzach, Yesod

Introvert yourself more and concentrate, first on your astral body and then on your mental body. The astral and mental bodies are the two columns of the Masonic temples (Yachin and Boaz) which have their foundation in the cubic stone of Yesod, the ethereal body. Concentrate well upon these two bodies, and after you realize that you are neither one of these two bodies then realize that they are just two more vehicles of expression that you have thus, discard them from your mind saying: “I am not my astral body. I am not my mental body.”

29 Aztec Christic Magic, 1973 also in Aztec Christic Magic, The Science of Meditation, Yesod

The two cords, Ida and Pingala, are the two columns, ‘J’ and ‘B’ of freemasonry, called Jachin and Boaz. Through both nervous canals, rise the solar and lunar energies, which in making contact at the coccyx, awakens “Hiram”, the divine fire which constitutes the temple of Solomon (the Inner-Being).

32 Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in Scorpio, The Law of Polarities, Zodiacal Course

The Sacred Book of the Maya, the Popol Vuh, states that God created man first from clay and later from wood (the Atlantean race) but that they forgot their Fathers and Mothers, they forgot “The Heart of Heaven”.

34 Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Ingratitude, The Root Races

Then came the great flood and all perished; they took refuge in caves and these collapsed (this is a reference to the submersion of Atlantis). Each one of us has his Father and his Mother who are very sacred. In the Father and in Mother Kundalini we see the two columns Jakin and Boaz; it is they, which support the Temple.

35 Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Law of Polarities, The Root Races, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

But let us think only of Durga, of his Spirit-Wife, of our Divine Mother Kundalini. We see Binah there as Jakin and Boaz; he is masculine and feminine at the same time. The Elohim is that: masculine and feminine at the same time.

36 The Fifth Gospel The Power of Conscious Faith Second Chamber – Mexico City – 1977 also in Binah, The Law of Polarities, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

Without that stone we cannot attain the Elixir of Long Life. The two columns of the Temple, Jakin and Boaz, are the man and the woman, united in order to work with the Philosophical Stone. He who finds the Philosophical Stone becomes a God.

37 Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Alchemy

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.

38 Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Chakras

Adam-Eve is indubitably the most secret meaning of the two columns of Hercules... Reconciliation with the divine is urgent, pressing. You know that...

39 The Three Mountains, 1972

Jakin and Boaz, Urim and Thummim, Apollo and Diana, are certainly the chief columns of the temple of wisdom.

40 The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

The arcanum A.Z.F., the key of the Great Work, is found in the centre of the two columns of the temple.

41 The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

The two pillars must be neither too close together nor too far apart. There must be a space for light to pass between them.

42 Esoteric Course of Kabbalah, 1969

God as love is Isis, whose veil no mortal has lifted. Who would dare to lift that terribly divine veil? Woe to the profane and profaners who even attempt to touch the veil of Isis!

43 The Yellow Book, 1959 also in Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

It is obvious that such ineffable corporations are unapproachable, thanks to the Veil of Isis. It is beneficial to explain to people that the sexual Adamic veil can only be lifted up by the Intimate Christ.

44 Runic Magic, 1969 also in The Intimate Christ

After the Second Birth, we need to tear the sexual Adamic Veil (or Veil of Isis) into pieces in order to penetrate into the Great Mysteries.

45 Runic Magic, 1969

The ineffable words of the Goddess Neith have been carved in letters of gold upon the resplendent walls of the Temple of Wisdom: “I am all that has been, is, and will be, and no mortal has raised my veil.”

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

The veil symbolises that the secrets of Mother Nature are hidden to the profane and that it is only the Initiate, after incessant purifications and meditations who can draw it back. You must have valour and raise the veil of Isis, our Gnostic motto is Thelema (willpower). The number 1, the Father who is in Secret, is the Eternal Masculine Principle, in himself Brahma; who has no form, is impersonal, ineffable. We may symbolise him with the Sun. The number 2, the Divine Mother, is the Eternal Feminine Principle which is symbolised by the Moon. Brahma has no form but is, in Himself, the governor of the universe, is Ishvara, the Eternal Masculine Principle, the Universal Principle of Life.

47 Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Eternal Mother Space, The Law of Polarities, The Magician, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

The Mayans state that in the first heaven, God, the Verb, held his stone, fastened his serpent, secured his substance. Only with the Arcanum A.Z.F. can the verb be made flesh, in order to once again fasten his stone, his serpent and his substance. We then return to the Ain Soph, we go back to the unity of life. Be “children of the widow”, your Divine Mother is now widowed; when she rises up through the medullar canal she is wedded to the Eternal Beloved. Your Divine Mother is the second Arcanum, the Papess of the Tarot. She is crowned with the Tiara. The head of the Cosmic Mother is surrounded by a veil. You must be valiant and lift the veil of Isis. Our Gnostic motto is Thelema— Willpower.

48 Esoteric Course of Kabbalah, 1969 also in Christ Will, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

The Universal Principle of Life overflows into the Eternal Feminine Universal Principle which is the Great Pralaya of the universe, of the Cosmos, fecund womb of which all is born and to which all returns.

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

The Cosmic Mother in the human being takes the form of a Serpent. There are two serpents; the Tempting Serpent of Eden is that of the Goddess Kali, of the abominable Kundartiguador Organ; and the Serpent of Bronze which cured the Israelites in the desert, the Serpent Kundalini. They are the two Feminine Principles of the universe; the Virgin and the Whore; the Divine Mother or White Moon and the Black Moon referring to Astaroth, Kali, the tenebrous aspect.

50 Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Eternal Mother Space, The Kundabuffer, The Law of Polarities, The Two Serpents, The Words He Uses, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

Venus, the Divine Mother Kundalini is, has been, and always will be the Priestess spouse of Vulcan, the Third Logos, the Holy Spirit.

51 Runic Magic, 1969 also in Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

In the name of THAT which has no name, I say: KUNDALINI is the MYSTIC DUALITY, GOD-MOTHER, ISIS, MARY or, better called, RAM-IO, ADONIA, INSOBERTA, REA, CIBELES, TONANZIN, etc - the transcendental unfolding of every Divine Monad in the very depths of our BEING.

52 The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in The Law of Karma, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

Hierophant, the One-Only, the Buddhist Aunand-Ad, the chaldean Ain-Soph, En Soph or Pneuma-Eikon, the Ruach Elohim or Divine Spirit of the Lord floating over the generating waters, the Existent by himself, Anupadaka, or aryan Manú-SwayambuNarayana. This, the particular Monad of each of us is transformed into the most sublime Duality: our particular, individual Divine Mother Kundalini...

53 The Three Mountains, 1972 also in The Being Is the Being, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

Let us now study magic equilibrium in Arcanum 2 of the Tarot.

54 Esoteric Course of Kabbalah, 1969

The physical body is organized with the elements. The Intimus emanates from our inner star that has always smiled upon us. The Intimus is positively polarized. The physical body is the negative shadow of the Intimus.

55 Esoteric Course of Kabbalah, 1969 also in The Being Is the Being, The Law of Polarities

Spirit and matter live in eternal struggle. When spirit conquers matter, a Master is born. Maya (illusion) cannot exist without duality. Energy and matter are two modalities of the same thing: Energy. Matter is energy in a specialized state, and it also determines new undulations of energy. Evolution is a process of the complication of energy, the result of which is the macrocosmos and the microcosmos. The universe is Maya, illusion. The universe exists because of Karma, and it is a mass of floating shadows…

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

When the Spirit, the Intimate is liberated from Maya, it returns to the Ain Soph of the Kabbalah. In the final synthesis, every Being is only a superdivine atom of the abstract absolute space. That atom is the Ain Soph.

57 Esoteric Course of Kabbalah, 1969 also in Ain, Ain Soph, Ain Soph Aur

The ineffable gods of the Ain Soph are completely beyond our comprehension. The human mind is to the gods of the Ain Soph what the activities of the mineral kingdom are to us. In the Ain Soph only the unity of life reigns. This is supreme happiness. The universe is duality, Maya, suffering. We need to free ourselves from duality and return to the unity of life. It is urgent to pass beyond the painful manifestations of Maya. There is science with which we can rend the veil of Maya return to the Ain Soph. That science is Alchemy.

58 Esoteric Course of Kabbalah, 1969 also in Ain, Ain Soph, Ain Soph Aur, The Law of Opposites

Man and woman must balance their energies; they must be Alchemists in order to return to the Ain Soph… Circe offers the tempting goblet and Odysseus rejects it by the sword. The brain, the heart and the sex of the genie of the earth are found represented in the sacred symbol of infinity. The struggle is terrible: brain against sex, sex against brain, and that which is even more terrible, that of “heart against heart”. You know this.

59 Esoteric Course of Kabbalah, 1969

On the altars of the temples of the Great White Lodge, the Masters often put vases of Loria, three Alchemical vessels, each one of the three sacred vases of the temple contains a precious balsam. The red balsam is the Fire, the blue is the Water, and the white is the Universal Spirit of Life.

60 Esoteric Course of Kabbalah, 1969

Ida and Pingala are the channels through which the atoms of the fire and the water rise. The Spirit grasps the “cane of seven knots” and this cane is the spinal medulla. When the woman and the man know how to avoid the spasm and the ejaculation of the ens seminis, the Igneous Serpent of our magic powers then awakens. If you want to return to the Father who is in secret, you must first return to the womb of your Divine Mother Kundalini. You need to raise the Serpent of Life through your medullar canal; that is Alchemy. You have forgotten about your Divine Mother Kundalini. You need to adore the divine and blessed mother goddess of the world. You have been ungrateful towards your Cosmic Mother. She is the Virgin from all religious belief systems. She is Isis, Mary, Cybele, Adonia, Insoberta, etc. The stone of grace is encircled by nine delightful mountains. That stone is the sex. If you want to return to the womb of your Divine Mother, you need to work with the Philosopher’s Stone—Sex.

61 Esoteric Course of Kabbalah, 1969 also in Ingratitude, Prayers to the Divine Mother, The Law of Polarities, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

The lead of the personality must be transmuted into the pure gold of the spirit: that is Alchemy. The moon must be transformed into the sun. The moon is the Soul; the sun is the Inner Christ. 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 her without having worked in the Blazing Forge of Vulcan—Sex. The Key of Christification is the Arcanum A.Z.F. The mantram of the Great Arcanum is I.A.O.: I–Ignis, Fire; A– Aqua, Water; O–Origo, origin, Spirit.

62 Esoteric Course of Kabbalah, 1969

These are the Two Witnesses through which the sacred oil of our semen must rise to the sacred vessel of the head. The whole secret is found enclosed within the lingam-yoni of the Greek mysteries. The key for transmuting water into wine is found in the union of the phallus and the uterus. The important thing is in joining sexually with the Priestess and withdrawing from her before the spasm in order to avoid the ejaculation of the semen. This is how Joshua remained faithful to the ordinance of Jehovah-he saw the fruit, he took pleasure in it, but he did not eat it-and Jehovah kept his word, removed Joshua’s filthy garments, dressed him with wedding garments and put a clean miter on his head.

63 Christmas Messages also in The Holy Grail, The Solar Bodies

Man is a column, woman is the other column of the temple of the living God. The two columns of the temple of the Holy Spirit are terribly divine. Man is the expansive principle, woman is the attractive principle; in the union of the two is found the key to redemption. Love is fed by love, and the kiss is the mystical consecration of two souls who adore each other. In a supreme trance of love we forget the theories of men.

65 The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in The Greater Mysteries

Man is Arcanum number 1 of the Tarot, the Positive Force. Woman is Arcanum number 2, the Negative Force, and the Christified Soul is the result of the sexual union of the two. The secret is the Arcanum A.Z.F. which transforms the Moon into Sun and represents 3 aspects: Positive, Negative, Neutral.

66 Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Law of Polarities, The Laws of the Three and of the Seven, The Magician

The Priestess. (Occult Science. Favorable.) The Empress. (Material and Spiritual Production.) The Emperor. (Progress. Success.) The Hierarch. (Karma.)

67 The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in The Greater Mysteries

The Priestess: The Wife of the Magician “Occult Science. Favourable”.

68 Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

The laboratory of the Third Logos is our very own sexual organs. The ascendant flux of the sacred fire is the result of sexual transmutation. And this sexual transmutation has twenty-two fundamental Arcana. Here are the twenty-two Major Arcana of the Tarot: Arcanum 1: The Magician. This Arcanum represents man. It is the masculine principle. Arcanum 2: The Priestess-Wife. The wife of the Magician.

69 Magnus Opus, 1958 also in Alchemy, The Magician

Arcanum number 2 is the Priestess, in occultism said to be the Dual Manifestation of Oneness. The Unity unfolds giving origin to receptive and productive femininity in all of nature. Clearly, within the human organism is the number 2. This is related with the number 1, Will, and with the number 2, Imagination.

70 Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

One must distinguish between Intentional Imagination and Mechanical Imagination; obviously Mechanical Imagination is the same as Fantasy. The key of power rests in uniting Will and Imagination in Vibrant Harmony.

71 Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition, The Keys of Astral Travel

Imagination is feminine. Willpower is masculine. When we work with the prostatic chakra, we must join these two forces in alchemical marriages in order to provoke the ascension of the creative energy: first, through the sympathetic nerve channels of the physical body; second, through the sympathetic nerve channels of the etheric body; third, through the sympathetic nerve channels of the body of desires; fourth, through the sympathetic nerve channels of the causal body. Advanced students must raise the creative energy to the Ain Soph.

72 Esoteric Course of Kabbalah, 1969 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition, The Chakras

So in order to know if Atlantis existed, you would need to verify that information. First of all, studying where Atlantis was located. That it was in the Atlantic Ocean? Okay good! What physical evidence, what data is there, what are its legends, which traditions, etc.? In possession of all that data, we then need to verify it. How will we verify it? Through the technique of meditation. We will have to lie down in our bed –hopefully with our head to the north– our body completely relaxed, our eyes closed. In moments in which we feel predisposed to sleep, we concentrate definitively on Atlantis, combining imagination and will in vibrant harmony. Let us remember that the imagination is feminine; it is not superfluous to tell you that the will is masculine, and that in the combination of these two polarities is found the key to all power.
