IThe revolution of the consciousness has three basic factors

Here the three factors are named and set in order: to be born, to die and to sacrifice for humanity. They are described as parallel lines of one revolution whose order does not change the result, and the path itself is called that revolution.

The revolution of the consciousness has three basic factors: first, death, second, birth, and third, sacrifice for humanity. The order of these three factors does not alter the end result. In short, these are three parallel lines of our inner self. They are three well-defined lines of the revolution of consciousness. We must work with these three basic factors if we really, truly yearn for the full self-realisation. Let us now study each of these three factors separately in order to know what must die in us, what must be born and why we should sacrifice for others.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Entropy and Sacrifice, Evolution, Involution, Revolution, Psychological Death

To be born, to die, to sacrifice ourselves for humanity, are the three basic factors of the revolution of the consciousness. We the Gnostics are totally revolutionary. We want the total revolution.

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

Humanity develops in two circles, the exoteric and the esoteric. The exoteric is public. The esoteric is secret. The multitude lives in the exoteric, in the esoteric, the Adepts of the Great White Brotherhood. It is the duty of all initiated Brothers to help those in the public circle. It is necessary to bring many to the secret circle of the White Brotherhood. The Initiatic Path is a true revolution of consciousness. This revolution has three perfectly defined aspects: first, to be born; second, to die; third, to sacrifice ourselves for humanity to give our life for humanity to struggle to bring others to the secret path.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Entropy and Sacrifice, Evolution, Involution, Revolution

The path is different; it is opposed to the routine of daily life. The path is one hundred percent revolutionary. It is against everything and everyone. The path is bitterer than bile. The path is the revolution of consciousness by means of the three factors: birth, death, and sacrifice for humanity. On the path, the poor intellectual animal must transform himself into a different being.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

A practice

Arcanum 21 is failure, or the Fool of the Tarot. Transmutation means that one must transmute. In the work of Self-Realisation one is exposed to the risk of committing follies; one must work with the Three Factors for the Revolution of Consciousness: 1: To Die.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Alchemy, Evolution, Involution, Revolution

Only the one who is prepared can understand the twelfth repentance of Pistis Sophia. Andrew, within us, is the autonomous and Self-conscious part of our own Being, who is occupied with the three factors of the revolution of the Consciousness.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution, The Twelve Powers Are Within Us

These three factors are: To be born, to die, and to sacrifice the self for humanity. The Cross of Saint Andrew is accustomed to being terribly painful.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Entropy and Sacrifice, Evolution, Involution, Revolution, The Twelve Powers Are Within Us, The Words He Uses

If we truly want to unite with the Divine, we urgently need a true revolution of the Consciousness. The revolution of the Consciousness has three basic factors which are the following: to die, to be born, to sacrifice for humanity. We are going to study what must die within us, what must be born, and why we must sacrifice ourselves for humanity, for others.

IIMay the Three Factors of the Revolution of the Consciousness be understood

Each factor is given its content: the birth is sexual and builds the Superior Existential Bodies, the death is the dissolution of the I, and the sacrifice is charity rightly understood. A disciple asks why the second factor is stressed, and the answer restates all three.

These three factors are: 1) Death of the psychological ‘I’; 2) Birth of the Being within us; 3) Sacrifice for humanity.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

To be born is an absolutely sexual problem. To die is the work of the dissolution of the “I”, the ego. Sacrifice for others is Love.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Entropy and Sacrifice, Evolution, Involution, Revolution

We must clarify that the work with the Grain has three completely defined lines. First; to be born. Second; to die. Third; to sacrifice for the poor, suffering humanity.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Entropy and Sacrifice, Evolution, Involution, Revolution, Suffering

To be born is a completely sexual problem. To die is a matter of sanctity. Sacrifice for humanity is Christ-centrism.

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

The Angel must be born within us. This Angel is born of his sexual seed. Satan must die; this is a matter of sanctity. We must give our life so that others live. This is Christcentrism. The Hierophant Jesus really lived all the drama of the Passion, just as it is written. Though we are really miserable worms of the Earth, we need also to live all the drama of the Passion.

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

To be born is a question of sexual transmutation. This matter corresponds to transcendental sexology. Whoever wants to study this subject should write to us and become acquainted with our gnostic texts.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

The ‘I’ dies based on rigorous creative comprehension. The Being is born within us with the Maithuna (sexual magic). Sacrifice for humanity is charity and very well understood love.

Dissolving the I, 1964 also in Entropy and Sacrifice, Gratitude and Kindness

Disciple: Venerable Master, we believe that there are three factors for the Revolution of Consciousness, but you speak to us above all of the second factor which is death. Can you explain why?

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

Master: What I said previously still stands. There are three factors that are needed for the Revolution of Consciousness: to die, that is, to disintegrate the Ego; to be born, that is, to create the Superior Existential Bodies of the Being in order to become an authentic man, a true man; and third, sacrifice for humanity.

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

Whoever does not destroy the Ego fails in the Great Work of the Father. May the Three Factors of the Revolution of the Consciousness be understood: to die, because one has to destroy the animal Ego; to be born, because it is necessary for the Being to be attired with the Superior Existential Bodies; one has to create the vehicles so that Second Birth takes place in us. The Second Birth is from water and from the Spirit, from water and from Fire. That is why Jesus said to Nicodemus: “It is necessary to be born again to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.” The Man-Spirit, the real man must be born in us and this is possible by means of sexual transmutation. Sacrifice for humanity is to bring the word everywhere, to form Lumisials, to create the World Salvation Army. Therein lies the three factors of the Revolution of the Consciousness: to die, to be born and to sacrifice ourselves for humanity.

IIIDeny himself, take up his Cross and follow me

The words of the Christ to those who would follow him are read as the three factors. Denying oneself is the death of the ego, taking up the cross is the sexual work, and following him is the sacrifice for humanity.

It is written: “Narrow is the way which leads to the light”. He who wants to follow the path must: “Deny himself, take up his Cross and follow me.” (The three factors for the Revolution of Consciousness; to Die, to be Born, and Sacrifice).

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Entropy and Sacrifice, Evolution, Involution, Revolution, Psychological Death

Jesus, the Great Kabir stated: "Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me.” (Mark C: 9: 34). These are the three factors for the inner revolution.

My Return to Tibet, 1969 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

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.

My Return to Tibet, 1969 also in The Intimate Christ

A practice

To follow the Intimate Christ signifies Sacrifice, to be willing to give even the last drop of blood for this suffering humanity.

My Return to Tibet, 1969 also in Entropy and Sacrifice, The Intimate Christ

<< Now it happened that as he was praying alone the disciples were with him; and he asked them, "Who do the people say that I am?" And they answered, "John the Baptist (Ioannes, Ra or the Lamb of God); but others say, Eli'jah; and others, that one of the old prophets has risen." And he said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" And Peter answered, "The Christ of God." But he charged and commanded them to tell this to no one saying, "The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised." And he said to all, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself (dissolve the Ego) and take up his cross daily (practice Sexual Magic) and follow me (sacrifice for Humanity). For whoever would save his life (the selfish person who never sacrifices himself for his fellow men) will lose it; and whoever loses his life (the altruist that mounts the altar of the supreme sacrifice for Humanity) for my sake, he will save it. For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself? For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God." >>

The Three Mountains, 1972 also in Entropy and Sacrifice, Psychological Death, Suffering

Mastery is different. No one would be able to achieve adepthood without the three factors of the revolution of consciousness, clearly expressed by Our Lord the Christ: “He who wants to come after me, deny himself, take up his cross and follow me.”

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

To deny oneself means dissolution of the “I”. To take up one’s cross, place it on our shoulders, means to work with sex-yoga, with the Maithuna, with sexual magic. To follow the Christ is equivalent to sacrificing oneself for humanity, to give one’s life so that others may live.

IVIt is impossible to attain the Atma-Vidya without the Three Factors

Self-realization, adepthood and the knowledge of the Atman are said to be closed to anyone who leaves out one of the three. The Perfect who go to the Father and the Sufi Al Hallaj are named as those who fulfilled all of them.

The work with the Maithuna, the dissolution of the ‘I’ and the sacrifice for humanity allow us to make new creations within Supreme Christmas Message 1964-1965: “Technique for the Dissolution of the Ego”

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

The Perfect, elected ones, those who dissolved the Ego, fabricated their Solar Bodies and Sacrificed themselves for Humanity, are Blessed; upon leaving the physical body with death, they take the path of fire, of the light, of the day, of the luminous fortnight of the Moon and of the northern solstice; they have incarnated the Being, they know Brahma (the Father who is in secret) and it is clear that they go to Brahma (the Father). Jainism says that during this Great Day of Brahma, twenty four Greater Prophets who have attained Total Perfection descend to this world.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Being Is the Being

It is impossible to attain the Atma-Vidya without the Three Factors for the Revolution of Consciousness.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

The Atma-Vidya is impossible without first having attained the Second Birth. The AtmaVidya is impossible without the death of the Pluralized I. The Atma-Vidya is impossible without Sacrifice for humanity.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

Therefore, let our readers pay much attention to the study of each of the Three Factors of the Revolution of Consciousness, because success in this Work depends on the full Comprehension of each of the Three Factors.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

The Great Sufi Initiate Al Hallaj was born, died and sacrificed himself completely for humanity.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

He who wants to Self-Realise needs a Revolution of Consciousness; to Die, to be Born and to Sacrifice. A Revolution of Consciousness when we decapitate the “I”. A Revolution of Consciousness when we make the Solar Bodies. A Revolution of Consciousness when we incarnate the Being. Up until then we do not have real existence.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution, The Being Is the Being

From this point of view we can affirm that we are children of the devil and this has been said by our Lord the Christ: “Children of the Devil you are, said the Great Master, because if you were children of God, you would do God’s works.” It is necessary to make of ourselves children of God and this is only possible with the three factors of the revolution of the consciousness, such as has been mentioned in this talk.

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

Thus, you will achieve the inner Self-realization. The seed of the angel is in the sanctuary of each one of you. Its germination will be possible through the perfect matrimony and the three factors, which you already know.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

If deep Self-realization is what we truly want, then it is necessary to comprehend the necessity of working with the three factors of the revolution of the Consciousness. If any of the three factors of the revolution of the Consciousness are excluded, then the outcome of this procedure is failure.

Dissolving the I, 1964 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

Unfortunately, we are now no more than intellectual animals condemned to the penalty of living. In order to be men, it is necessary to have dissolved the Ego and to have created the Superior Existential Bodies of the Being. Moreover, to have really sacrificed ourselves for humanity.

VWe advance by annihilating the ego and sacrificing ourselves for humanity

The three become instructions in the first person plural: pass through the mystical death, make the soul, give one’s life for others. Several of these lines join the work on oneself to the work for others in one sentence.

A practice

It is urgent to pass through the mystical death. It is necessary to make soul and Spirit. It is essential to sacrifice for humanity, which is the practice of universal charity. Everyone who travels this Path inevitably reaches triple intimate self-realisation. It is urgent to give all human beings these teachings. It is necessary to sacrifice for all people. Charity must be well understood. We must die. We must be born. We must give our lives for our fellow man.

The path is sexual. We advance by annihilating the ego and sacrificing ourselves for humanity.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Entropy and Sacrifice

A practice

It is urgent to undergo mystical death. It is necessary to fabricate the Soul. It is indispensable to sacrifice ourselves for humanity, we must give our lives for our fellow men. The psychological “I” had a beginning, and therefore, it also has an end. Pain is the result of our own mistakes. When one makes a mistake, the result is pain. We make mistakes because we are imperfect; we are imperfect because we have the “I” inside us. When the “I” disappears, true and authentic happiness comes to us.

Thus, brothers, we are all here today, pleased, enthusiastic upon contemplating these paladins of the Great Cause. We must never forget that time is sacred, that the time to intensify our efforts, to work on ourselves and also to sacrifice ourselves for our fellow men has come. The time at which we find ourselves before the dilemma of to be and not to be of philosophy has come. One step back and we are lost.

Part Two — It is necessary to be born again

13 passages · 2 practices

IExcept a man be born again

The words of Jesus to Nicodemus stand at the head of the teaching on birth. The water is read as the semen and the spirit as the fire, and Nicodemus, a learned rabbi, is said not to have understood because he did not know the sexual mystery.

A practice

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

"Verily, verily I say unto thee, that unless a man be born of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God." (John 3: The water is the semen, and the spirit is the Sacred Fire. "That which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I say unto you, you must be born again." (John 3: 6-7)

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

A practice

We must be born again. We must raise the Serpent. We must raise the Son of Man within ourselves.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

Man still is not a man, but just an intellectual animal. It is a grave mistake to call the legion of selves soul. Truly, man has within his core psychic material, the material for the soul, but still has no soul. The Gospels say: of what use is it to win the world if you are going to lose your soul?” Jesus told Nicodemus that he had to be born again, of water and spirit, in order to enjoy the attributes that correspond to the Truth. This is impossible without the mystical death.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution, Psychological Death, The Human Soul, The Many I’s

It is necessary to be born again in order to enter into the kingdom of heaven.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

“There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

We have here, dear reader a sexual problem. To be born has been and always will be sexual. Nobody can be born of theories. We have never known the first-born of any theory or of any hypothesis. To be born is not a question of beliefs... If, only by believing in the gospels we could be born, then why haven’t all the students of the bible been born? This matter of being born is not a question of believing or not believing. No child is born of beliefs. One is born of the sexual act. This is a sexual question. Nicodemus ignored the Great Arcanum and in his ignorance answered, saying, “How can a man he horn when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

It is necessary for the Master to be born within our very selves.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

“The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.” Really, he who is born of the Spirit shines for a moment and then disappears amongst the multitudes. The multitudes cannot see the Superman. The Superman makes himself invisible to the multitudes. In the same way that the chrysalis cannot see the butterfly when it has flown away, so the normal and common man loses sight of the Superman. Nicodemus did not understand anything of this, arid replying, said, “How can these things he?

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

Really Nicodemus knew the sacred scriptures because he was a rabbi, but he did not know Sexual Magic, because Nicodemus was not initiated.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, hut have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; hut that the world through him might he saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: hut he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” We affirm that true faith and belief are demonstrated with facts. Whoever does not believe in Sexual Magic, cannot be born even though he says “I believe in the Son of God”. Faith without deeds is Death. Whoever does not believe in Sexual Magic as taught by Jesus to Nicodemus, does not believe in the Son of God. These people are lost. “And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.”

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

Everybody would like to submerge themselves within the current of sound in order to achieve the final liberation. Albeit, verily, verily, I say unto you, Except you be born again, you cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Runic Magic, 1969

The [kingdom of] Earth has different levels: the most grotesque, the highest, the most elevated, the most refined. But the most refined level of Earth is not the Kingdom of Heaven. In order to move from the highest step of the Kingdom of Earth to the lowest step of the Kingdom of Heaven, a change is needed, a transformation, one needs to be born again of water and of Spirit, one needs to unfold into two: the earthly personality and the psychological man, the inner man.

IITo be born is a totally sexual problem

No one is born of theories or beliefs; every birth, physical or spiritual, comes from the union of man and woman. Initiation is therefore called sexual, and mechanical evolution is said to save nobody.

The new birth, of which we have spoken about so much in all our past messages, is absolutely sexual. A great sage said, “Hydrogen Si 12 represents the final product of the transformation of food in the human organism. This is the material with which the sex works with and that the sex fabricates. It is seed and fruit.”

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

When we become conscious of sex and its functions, when we work with the Maithuna (Sexual Magic) mechanicity disappears and we enter onto the path of sexual regeneration. Sex holds the greatest power of slavery and the greatest power of total liberation. The new birth, which Jesus spoke of to Nicodemus, totally depends on sex.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

A practice

Initiation is totally sexual. If we want to be born we need to practice sexual magic with the woman. The key of sexual magic is the following, “Introduce the virile member into the woman’s vagina and withdraw without spilling the semen.”

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

We, the inhabitants of Eden, affirm that it is only with sexual magic that we have the right to be born. Everything that is not along this path, is a lamentable waste of time. We came out of Eden through the doors of sex, and it is only through the doors of sex that we can enter Eden. Eden is sex itself. The ages of consciousness have their root in sex.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

Initiation is called birth. One cannot be born without dying; one cannot be born without sex. The one who wants to be born has to enter a woman’s womb, and it is only in this manner that one earns the right to be born.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

In that conception there were kisses, there was also love, there was a male and a female and also there was a coitus in order to fertilize the egg, and finally the mother begat the child. Why are you forgetting this? Tell me with which theory were you engendered? Why now do you want to be born as a Master of the great day within the worlds of the light by excluding the phallus and the uterus?

The Aquarian Message, 1960

The birth of the Superman is an absolutely sexual problem. We need to be born again to enter the Kingdom of the Heavens. The Superman is as different from man as the lightning is from the black cloud. The lightning comes from the cloud but it is not the cloud. The lightning is the Superman; the cloud is man. Sexual regeneration puts into activity the powers that we had in Eden. We lost those powers when we fell into animal generation. We reconquer those powers when we regenerate ourselves. Just as the worm can regenerate its body and the small lizard its tail, so also we are able to regenerate lost powers, to shine again as Gods.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

A practice

This is the Path of Initiation. By this path we reach the incarnation of the Word. We can be Rosicrucian, Theosophical, or Spiritualist students. We can practice yoga (and there is no doubt that in all this there are marvelous works and magnificent esoteric practices), but if we do not practice Sexual Magic, neither will we engender the Christ Astral, nor the Christ Mind, nor the Christ Will. Without Sexual Magic we cannot be born again. Practice what you wish, study in the school that you most enjoy, pray in the temple that pleases you most, but practice Sexual Magic. Live the Path of the Perfect Matrimony. We are not against any holy religion, nor against any school, order or sect. All those sacred institutions are necessary, but we advise you to live the Path of the Perfect Matrimony. The Perfect Matrimony is not opposed to religious life, or to esoteric practices of holy yoga. The Gnostic movement is made up of people from all religions, schools, lodges, sects, orders etc., etc.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

The Angel must be born of the sexual seed. This is precisely the difficult part. The seed of the wheat germinates easily. Certainly many seeds are lost, but the majority germinates and become ears of wheat, which give forth the Grain with which the multitudes nourish them selves.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

It so happens that people think that belonging to this or that faith, such and such a religion, one or another sect, they are already saved. Naturally this is false. A seed never germinates because of what a man believes or stops believing. An insect is never born because of what a human being thinks or stops thinking. A man is never born from the parchment of theory. The matter is sexual and in this the Angel is no exception. The members of all religions, schools, sects and beliefs say, “Because many are called, but few are chosen.” All the world repeats it and presumes, as is normal that they are the chosen ones. Nobody considers him self lost. They believe that with their belief, theory, study etc., they are already saved. A false and absurd thing, because the problem of being born cannot be the result of beliefs, theories or concepts. The reality is different. To be born is a totally sexual problem.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

To regenerate oneself means to generate anew, which is to say, to recreate oneself, to create oneself again. This matter of being born again is an absolutely sexual problem. The Schools of Regeneration are governed by Neptune. This planet has a cycle of 165 years. This cycle controls the ages of the public and secret activities of these schools. The esotericism of these Schools of Regeneration is the Arcanum A.Z.F. The teachers in these schools teach the disciples the science that allows them to dissolve the “self”. It is necessary for the “no-self” to be born in us—“Something old must die in man, and something new must be born in him.” Regeneration means to create inside of oneself a new cosmos. This creation is possible only by working with the Lion of the Fire. The chakras of the sexual glands are ruled by Uranus. However, the Schools of Regeneration are Neptunian in nature.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah

The mechanical evolution of Nature saves nobody; time saves nobody. It is necessary to be born, and this question of being born is and will always be an absolutely sexual problem. All those who want to be born must work with the sap of life contained in the two sacred vases that the nude woman of Arcanum 17 holds in her hands.

What is to be born is named in many ways: the Angel, the Master, the Child of Bethlehem, the Adam Christ, the Solar Man. Each time it is born from the seed, through the work with the sexual fire.

My brothers, I will work for you until you form the Christ within yourself. You will be persecuted, hated and imprisoned for the Word just as they have persecuted the prophets before you. Initiation is your own life and each one has to take on the weight of his own cross. You will have to pass through death, the death of the cross. You must be born as Prince Messiahs, like the God Child of Bethlehem in the supersensible worlds, for God and for the Father. Brothers, remember that each one of you is in essence a star, but you can only return to the Father when the Child of Bethlehem has been born within you.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in The Intimate Christ

The Internal Angel must be born of sex and only with the Maithuna can we achieve it. If we want the real Christmas we need for the God Child of Bethlehem to be born within us and this is only possible with the Maithuna.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

A practice

It is necessary to be born as angels and this is only possible by practicing sexual magic. Nothing is born from nothing. Everything that is born has its germs from where it is born. This can be proven in the four kingdoms of nature. Therefore, the angel is not born within ourselves with theories. It is necessary for the angel to be born within us and this is only possible by working with the germ. Such a germ abides within the seminal system. So we need to work with the grain, with the seed, with the fire. This is how the Master, the Angel is born within the human being.

Aztec Christic Magic, 1973

Human life in itself has no meaning. To be born, to grow, to work hard to live, to reproduce like an animal and then to die; this is really a chain of torments which man carries entangled in the Soul. If this is life then it is not worth living. Fortunately we carry in our sexual gland seed, the grain. From this seed, from the grain, the Superman can be born, the Adam Christ, the Golden Child of Sexual Alchemy. For this, life is worth living. The path is sexual transmutation. This is the science of Uranus. This is the planet, which controls the gonads or sexual glands. This is the planet, which governs the constellation of Aquarius.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

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)

We conclude this book by saying only he who becomes an Angel is saved. The Angel must be born within our very selves. To be born is an absolutely sexual problem and the only path is that of the Perfect Matrimony.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

A practice

The Initiatic books are written with characters of fire. We need to fecundate our intimate nature if what we truly want is the Solar Man to be born within ourselves.

Runic Magic, 1969

The 5 is in essence, the five-pointed star, the Pentalpha man Authentic Man must be born in the Ninth Sphere To understand this is very important Thus the 72 Gates, because he is born of the Ninth Sphere It is this which gives power to the Son of Man.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Adam-Kadmon must be born within each one of us, by means of the marvelous power of Sexual Magic.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

The Adam Christ is as absolutely different from the worldly Adam as lightning is from a cloud; lightning originates in the cloud, but it is not the cloud. The lightning is the Superman and the cloud is the man. To be born is a sexual problem; the path is sexual transmutation. The Ninth Key is shown in a rectangle, representative of the four elements of Alchemy. In carefully studying this rectangle, we discover a double circle that wisely symbolizes the mercurial matter with its two properties (generation and regeneration). The double circle contains three serpents emerging from three hearts. Truly we need to work with the mercury, the sulfur and the salt in order to raise the metallic serpent upon the staff. Only by working with the fundamental triad (mercury–sulfur–salt) is the Adam Christ born in us.

IVRare is he who is born a second time

This run from Hermetic Astrology sets the Second Birth apart from any ordinary rebirth: the fire must first fecundate the womb of the Divine Mother. The Biblical sects and the Brahmins with their golden cow are shown holding only the symbol of a birth that is sexual.

The Second Birth is something else. The Third Logos, the Sacred Fire, should first fecundate the sacred womb of the Divine Mother, then follows the Second Birth.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

The serpent should ascend along the spinal canal of the Sacred Cow, the serpent should fecundate the womb of the Divine Mother; it is only in this manner that the immaculate conception and the Second Birth arrive.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

To be born again is equivalent to entering the Kingdom. It is very rare to find a twiceborn. Rare is he who is born a second time. Whoever wants to be born again, whoever wants to achieve final liberation, should eliminate the Three Gunas of the Prakriti from his nature.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

It is necessary to be born of water and the spirit in order to be able to enter the Kingdom of Esotericism, the Magis Regnum.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

This matter of the Second Birth was not understood by Nicodemus and neither has it been understood by all Biblical sects. It is necessary to have studied comparative religion and have the Key of the Arcane A.Z.F. if we truly want to comprehend the words of Jesus to Nicodemus.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The different Biblical sects are fully convinced that they really comprehend what to be born again means and interpret it in the most varied of ways, but certainly, even if they possess much Biblical erudition and document one verse with another, and try to explain one verse with another, or other verses, the reality is that they do not understand it if they do not possess the Secret Key, the Arcane A.Z.F.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Nicodemus was wise, he knew the Holy Scriptures profoundly and yet, he did not understand and said, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?”

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

It is clear that the one who does not have information other than that of the dead letter, the one who does not understand the double significance of the Biblical verses, the one who has never known the Arcane A.Z.F., interprets these words of the Great Kabir in his own way with only the information that he possesses and believes that with his sect’s baptism or something similar, the problem of the Second Birth is already resolved. For the Mayas, the Spirit is Living Fire and they say, “We must unite what is above with what is below, by means of the water and fire.”

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Hindu Brathmins symbolize the second birth sexually. In their Liturgy, a large Golden Cow is constructed and the candidate to the Second Birth has to pass through the hollow body of the Cow three times, by dragging himself, exiting through the vulva and thus remains consecrated as a true Brahinan-Dwipa, or Twice-Born, once of his mother and another of the Cow.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

We have already said in preceding chapters, that the Cow represents the Divine Mother, but the interesting thing is that the Brahmins call themselves Twice-Born and their second birth is sexual, born of the Cow and exited from within her womb through the vulva.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

This matter is very thorny and the Lunar Race mortally hates it; they prefer to kill the Cow and then insult everyone who talks about the Mysteries of Sex and the Arcane AZ.F. The Brabmins are not Twice-Born, but symbolically they are. Neither is the MasterMason truly, a Master, but symbolically he is. The interesting thing is to reach the Second Birth and the problem is one hundred percent sexual.

VThe Second Birth is an entirely sexual problem

The argument continues to the Philosopher’s Stone, which is sex, and to the Laws of Manu on the Kingdom without Twice-Born. Without the doctrine of Peter, the transmutation of the waters and the mysteries of the Cross, the Second Birth is said to be impossible.

A practice

Whoever wants to enter that land of the Fourth Dimension, in those Jinas valleys, mountains and temples, in that Kingdom of the Twice-Born, must work with the Rough Stone, chisel it, give it shape, as we would say in Masonic language.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

We respectfully need to lift that marvelous Stone which separates us from the Land of the One Thousand and One Nights, from the land of marvels where the Twice-Born live happily.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The Philosopher’s Stone of the old medieval alchemists is Sex and the Second Birth is sexual.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Chapter VIII of the Laws of Manu says, “A Kingdom inhabited above all by Sudras, full of impious men and deprived of Twice-Born inhabitants, will totally perish rapidly, attacked by hunger and disease.”

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Without Peter’s Doctrine, the Second Birth is impossible. We Gnostics study the Doctrine of Peter.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Whoever pronounces himself against Sexual Magic, whoever spits his infamy in the Sanctuary of the Third Logos, will never be able to attain the Second Birth.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The Second Birth is an entirely sexual problem. The Sacred Bull Apis among the ancient Egypt had to be young, healthy and strong to symbolize the Philosopher’s Stone (Sex). The Greeks, instructed by the Egyptian Hierophants also represented the Philosopher’s Stone in this manner, with one or several Bulls, as is also seen in the fable of the Cretan Minotaur.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Aquarius is governed by Uranus and this planet controls the sexual glands. It is impossible to attain the Second Birth, Adepthood, Inner Self-Realization, if we do not study the Mysteries of Isis, if we scorn the worship of the Bull Apis, if we do no to combine the Red Elixir with the White Elixir within the two Amphoras of Aquarius.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

To take up the heavy Cross of the Master upon our shoulders is something very significant. The vertical pole of this sacred symbol is masculine, and the horizontal pole is feminine. The clue of the Second Birth is found in the sexual crossing of these two poles.

Runic Magic, 1969 also in The Law of Polarities

A practice

We need to be swallowed by the serpent. It is urgent to convert ourselves into living flames, it is indispensable to achieve the Second Birth in order to enter into the Kingdom.

Runic Magic, 1969

Truly, this matter about being born again in the Sanctum Regnum is something that belongs to the mysteries of the Cross, of the Swastika.

Runic Magic, 1969

It is obvious that without sexual alchemy, without the electric windmill, without the sacred mysteries of the Swastika, the Intimate Self-Realization, the Second Birth which the Great Kabir Jesus talked about to the Rabbi Nicodemus, becomes something more than impossible.

Runic Magic, 1969

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.

VIOne must descend to the Ninth Sphere

The Second Birth is gestated in the Ninth Sphere, as the child is in the womb, and that descent is called the greatest of the trials. These passages count the cost in years and pain, and tie the descent to the Revolution of Consciousness.

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)

A practice

Everyone who wants to become a Twice-Born, everyone who wants Inner SelfRealization, should enter the path of the Revolution of Consciousness; this is the path of the razor’s edge. This path is full of dangers within and without.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

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).

Runic Magic, 1969

A practice

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

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

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

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 revolution; 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

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.

VIIThe fabrication of the Solar Bodies and the Incarnation of the Being

Being born again means building the Solar Astral, Mental and Causal bodies, the wedding garment, so that the Being can enter. The lunar vehicles studied by the clairvoyants are set aside as ghosts of the intellectual animal.

All this is textually from the sacred Gospel according to Saint John. It is necessary to be born in all planes. What can a poor man or woman full of theories, practicing exercises etc., do without having been born in the astral? Of what use is it to work with the mind if we still do not have our mental body? The human being should first engender his internal vehicles and then can truly practice what he wishes and study what he wishes. However, first we should engender the internal vehicles to have the right to incarnate the Soul and much later the Word.

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

A practice

It is necessary to engender the internal vehicles. It is necessary to be born in the superior worlds. Celibacy is an absolutely false path. We need the Perfect Matrimony.

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

In Gnosticism and Esotericism, one understands as Second Birth the fabrication of the Solar Bodies and the Incarnation of the Being.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

A practice

The subtle Bodies that Leadbeater, Annie Besant, Steiner and many other clairvoyants studied in the poor run-of-the-mill Intellectual Animal, are the Lunar Vehicles. Whoever wants to attain the Second Birth should fabricate for himself the Solar Bodies, the authentic Astral Body, the legitimate Mental Body, the true Causal Body or Body of Conscious Will.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

If these poor people could have their consciousness awake, then they could verify for themselves that as above so below, and vice versa. They would directly experiment with their crude reality, they would be perfectly aware of the lamentable state in which they are in. Thus, they would comprehend the necessity of the Maithuna in order to build their Solar Bodies, the Wedding Garment for their souls. This is how they would achieve the Second Birth, which the great Kabir Jesus spoke about to the Rabbi Nicodemus.

Runic Magic, 1969 also in Awakening

A practice

This concept is very pretty, yet, it is false, because these two ethers are not all that we need. It is urgent to build the superior existential bodies of the Being, that is to say, the Solar Vehicles, if truly, what we want is to attain the Second Birth.

Runic Magic, 1969

Jesus said to Nicodemus: “It is necessary that you be born again in order to be able to enter the Kingdom of Heaven...” (John 3). This means to create the Solar Bodies; no-one can enter the Kingdom dressed in lunar rags. The Solar Bodies have to be created, and this is only achieved by transmuting the Creative Energy. In Egyptian theogony those Solar Bodies are represented by the Egyptian Sahu. No-one has the right to sit at the table of the Angels if he is not dressed in the Solar Bodies. We have to create the To Soma Heliakon, the Body of Gold of the Solar Man.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Alchemy, Evolution, Involution, Revolution

(After the note SI comes DO, which corresponds to another musical scale and a higher octave.) SI can be elevated to a higher musical octave by restraining the sexual impulse and ejaculation. This is how H-SI-12 passes to a second octave, giving rise to the Solar Astral Body. Through a third shock the hydrogen will pass to a third octave which will give rise to the Solar Mental Body. A fourth octave gives birth to the Body of Conscious Will. All this work is with the Maithuna. Once in possession of these 4 vehicles, our Divine Being will enter through the pineal gland and we will then attain the Second Birth and become True Men. Whilst we have the lunar animal bodies we are intellectual animals and are only a chrysalis which could be transformed into a Celestial Butterfly this is attained with super-efforts.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Laws of the Three and of the Seven

Once the Body of Conscious Will is fabricated, one becomes Twice-born.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

The vital condition for the Second Birth is to possess the four bodies of Alchemy.

My Return to Tibet, 1969

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.

VIIIOnly the Twice-Born are True Men

Whoever incarnates the Being becomes a Twice-Born, a true man of the Solar Race, and enters the Kingdom by his own right. The rest of humanity is called lunar, and no one reaches this birth while living with the psychology of the inferior man.

If our beloved Gnostic disciples reflect on these words of Swami X, they will reach the conclusion that they are manifestly absurd. This idea of marrying the feminine physical impulse with the masculine of the internal Soul is one hundred percent false. This type of utopian marriage is impossible because man has not yet incarnated the Soul. With whom then, is he going to marry his physical feminine impulse? The intellectual animal still does not have a Soul. Whoever desires to incarnate his Soul, whoever wants to be a man with Soul must have the bodies astral, mental and causal. The human being as he is still does not have these internal vehicles. The astral ghost, the mental ghost, and the causal ghost are only ghosts. The majority of occultists believe that these internal ghosts are the true vehicles, and they are very mistaken. We need to be born in the superior worlds and the question of being born is a sexual problem.

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

The Solar Race, the Twice-Born, have Solar Bodies. Run-of-the-mill people, humanity in general, is a lunar race and only has lunar bodies of a lunar type.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Whoever attains the Second Birth joins a secret temple, the temple of the Twice-Born. The run-of-the-mill Intellectual Animal believes that he is a Man, but in reality he is mistaken, because only the Twice-Born are True Men.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in The Words He Uses

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

Whosoever reaches the Second Birth (which Jesus taught to Nicodemus) enters in fact and by his own right into the MAGIS REGNUM, REGNUM DEI No one can enter into the Kingdom dressed in the rags of a Beggar (Lunar Rags). I know the case of an Adept Lady who in ten years of intense work in the Ninth Sphere built her Wedding Gown; meaning, her solar bodies. Now, this Adept Lady is an inhabitant of the Kingdom; she dwells among the Elohim.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

“I am welcome among the spirits of RE-STAU (the world of the Logos) and there I grow.” To be born in the RE-STAU with the Egyptian Sahu, marvellous synthesis of the solar bodies, is the extraordinary fruit of the Fig Tree.

My Return to Tibet, 1969

Whosoever incarnates his Being reaches the Second Birth and becomes a Twice Born one, he becomes a legitimate Mutant.

My Return to Tibet, 1969 also in The Being Is the Being

The ‘Second Birth’ is an extraordinary, marvelous cosmic event. Here is where we incarnate the third aspect of the Trimurti: Atman-Buddhi-Manas.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970 also in The Human Soul

No one could reach SECOND birth, be reborn as written in the Gospel of the Lord, as long as he continues living with the psychology of the ordinary inferior man.

The Great Rebellion, 1975 also in The Great Rebellion

The ‘self-generated’, those who have worked in the mysteries of sex and who have reached the Second Birth, emanate from the Great Invisible.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in The Treasury of the Light

As a result of so many transmutations, as a result of so many works, in the end, a different and terribly divine creature arises in the depth of each one of us. That is why it has been said that by means of death, transformation begins, and it is by means of the transformation that we can reach the Second Birth, become terribly divine beings beyond good and evil. Let us see...

IXThe Sexual Act is absolutely forbidden for the Twice Born

Once the Second Birth is reached, the one born may not return to the forge where he was made. The Maithuna is called the lower work of Initiation, and a return to it is compared to a child wishing to go back into the womb.

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

The twice born is a son of Mother Kundalini, and if he wishes to progress, he must love his Divine Mother, never forgetting Her. The sexual act is forbidden to the twice born for all eternity, and he must achieve absolute chastity in all areas of the mind.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Chastity, The Words He Uses, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

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 Kundabuffer, Whose Veil No Mortal Has Lifted

Whosoever reaches the Second Birth is admitted into the temple of the Twice Born. Whosoever reaches the Second Birth has to renounce sex for all eternity. The Sexual Act is absolutely forbidden for the Twice Born. Whosoever violates this law will lose his Solar Bodies and will fall into the Valley of Bitterness.

The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Alchemy

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.

IWoe to those who continue living after attaining the second birth

Birth without death produces the Hanasmussen, half angel and half beast, with a double centre of gravity. The author records that after his own Second Birth he understood he had to die within himself.

Any initiate who obtains this second birth, of which Jesus spoke to Nicodemus, encounters the problem of disintegrating the ego or pluralized “I” and eliminating the lunar bodies. If the initiate does not accomplish this, he is transformed into a hanasmussen with a double center of gravity.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

The most serious problem that everyone who attains the Second birth has to solve is that of the Dissolution of the Lunar Ego.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

A practice

The Hanasmussian is one half Angel, and one half beast, like the centaur of Sagittarius. The Hanasmussian has two inner personalities, one of an angel, and another of a demon. The Hanasmussian is an abortion of the Cosmic Mother, a failure. If the Gnostic student dissolves the Lunar Ego before the Second Birth, he is completely cured, he solves his problem ahead of time, he secures his success.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Whoever invokes Andrameleck in the internal worlds will have the most tremendous surprise, because the demon Andrameleck or Andrameleck, the Master of the White Lodge, can attend. This person is a Hanasmussian with a double center of gravity. The dissolution of the Lunar ego is fundamental in the Great Work. Those who attain the Second Birth feel the necessity of eliminating the Lunar bodies, but this is not possible without first having dissolved the Lunar Ego.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

What is the most terrible is that I had already reached the Second Birth. I comprehended very well that if I did not achieve death within myself, I would fail by converting myself into an abortion of the Cosmic Mother, into a Hanasmussen with a double centre of gravity.

Runic Magic, 1969 also in Psychological Death

Woe to those who continue living after attaining the second birth! They become in fact, Hanasmussen (miscarriages of the Divine Mother Kundalini) with a double centre of gravity.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

We need to transform ourselves into Serpents of Wisdom, or “Naga”. We need to transform ourselves into crocodiles; if we wish to ascend we must first “submerge ourselves in the depths of the abyss” this is the Law. The Twice Born must transform themselves into true esoteric deceased of the Mystic Death. This is transcendental; one may be an adept, but one will previously have had to descend and destroy the ego. In any other manner one becomes a Hanasmussen with a double centre of gravity.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

In Arcanum 14 the sacred “N” (Nun) is seen. It is the fish which is born and dies in the Waters, attaining the Light. Let us remember the increasing of the fishes (Mark 6: 36-44). If we do not descend to destroy the ego we cannot be raised to Mastery, regardless of attaining the Second Birth.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Even though it seems paradoxical, it is ostensible that not all the ‘Twice Born’ have dissolved their ‘I’.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

After the Second Birth, I was intensely instructed in the temple. I comprehended at that time that I needed to die from moment to moment, if I did not want to convert myself into a Hanasmuss with a double center of gravity.

IITwo paths open up before every twice-born

Whoever has been born a second time stands between the right hand and the left. The right belongs to those who dissolve the I and wash in the waters of Lethe; the left makes a Marut or an abortion of the Cosmic Mother.

Two paths open up before every twice-born, that of the right and that of the left.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

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

A practice

Whosoever is admitted into the temple of the Twice Born must dissolve the ego, must incinerate the seeds of the ‘I’ and must bathe in the waters of Lethe. This is known by the Gods, the Sparks, the Flames, the resplendent Dragons of Wisdom.

Runic Magic, 1969 also in Runic Magic

The Twice-Born find themselves before two Paths: that of the Right, and that of the Left. He who decides to dissolve the ego takes the Right path so as to become an Ineffable Being. They who decide against dissolving the ego take the way of the Left and become diabolic beings (a Hanasmussen is a miscarriage of the Cosmic Mother). This is not every thing however; the seeds of the I’s must be destroyed, one must bathe in the waters of Lethe so as to forget all of the evilness of the ego, and afterwards in the waters of Eunoe to strengthen the Virtues and be confirmed in the Light.

IIIIn every transformation there is death and birth

Death and birth are taught here as one movement: the grain dies so that the plant is born, and the Phoenix rises from the ashes of the ego in the same crucible. One works with death by comprehension and with life by the Maithuna, from instant to instant.

A practice

We must work with death, we must work with life. With death we work on the basis of profound comprehension. With life we practice Sexual Magic. We keep dying little by little. We keep being born little by little. We need to die from instant to instant. We need to be born from instant to instant.

The intimate self-realisation is for those who know how to take the maximum advantage of the medulla and the semen. The intimate self-realisation is for those who resolve to die from instant to instant. The intimate self-realisation is for those who sacrifice for humanity.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

We have to put an end to the process of the human I in order for the Being to be born. Let us not commit the error of dividing ourselves into a Superior I and an Inferior I. That which spiritualist students call the superior I, is not the Being, but rather a refined form of the human I, a subtle modality of self-defense that the human I uses to sustain itself and remain. It is a refined concept of Satan, a subtle escape that the human I uses. We have to die in order to live. We have to lose it all in order to win it all. We have to die with the death of the cross in order to have the right to live. The Being, full of glory and power, is born on top of the cadaver of the human I. The man-I wants to show off everywhere, he wants everyone to applaud and admire him; he lets his hair and beard grow, he wears strange clothes to appear publicly on the streets, in order for the gullible to call him Master, elder brother, etc.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in Psychological Death, Vanity

It is in the crucible where the materia prima of the Great Work suffers with infinite patience the passion of the Lord. In the Erotic Crucible of sexual alchemy the “ego” dies and the “Phoenix Bird” is reborn from amongst the self same ashes: INRI, “In Necis Renascor Integer”; “In death reborn pure and intact”.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Alchemy

He who fabricates his Solar Bodies needs to pass through various deaths. We need the Solar Adam to be born in us, the Abel of the Bible. To be come immortal one needs to possess the Solar Bodies.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

“In truth, in truth I say unto you, if you are not born again you will not be able to enter the Kingdom of the Heavens.” The Celestial Adam is dressed with the Solar Bodies, must pass through various deaths, must kill the “I”.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

From the past we bring that multitude of “I’s”. There does not exist authentic individuality within the human being, and these I’s personify laziness, gluttony, lust, anger, etc., etc. That ego which is dressed with the lunar bodies is the lunar Adam; he of sin. We need the Solar Adam to be born within us.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in The Many I’s

It is necessary to die, and the basis of the Death is in the sexual question. In sex is Death and in sex is Life. After attaining the Second Birth one must eliminate sex. Remember the phrase: “Lead me from the Darkness to the Light”; Death leads to Immortality, from the unreal to the real. The Master must realise all of this, and he does so when he finds the Lost Word. This is the Word which revived Hiram Abiff; it is the Verb, the Word of Light or the superior teaching which the Initiate receives, through which he attains Mastery. It is clear that the Arcanum A.Z.F. is as well the Modus Operandi for the destruction of the ego.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Psychological Death

In the Gospels, the idea of the earthly man, compared to a seed capable of growth, has the same meaning; as well as the idea of rebirth in the man who “is born again”. However, it is obvious that “if the grain does not die, the plant is not born”; in every transformation there is death and birth, or death and resurrection.

The Fifth Gospel Psychological Protection Against Impressions Lecture given to the brothers of Colombia – Mexico City – 1974

The time has come to understand in depth this matter of dying from instant to instant. Only with death does the new come. If the grain does not die, the plant is not born. It is necessary that we all resolve to die if we truly want to be born spiritually. Let us remember that paragraph of Jesus and Nicodemus. Jesus exclaimed: “You must die to enter the Kingdom of Heaven”. We need to die right here and now, if we truly want to enter the Superior Worlds of Cosmic Consciousness completely awakened, totally enlightened, radically transformed.

Part Four — We need to sacrifice ourselves for humanity

5 passages

ISacrifice for humanity is charity and love very well understood

The third factor is defined as conscious universal charity, a sattwic sacrifice that asks no reward. Its pattern is the Solar Logos, who crucifies himself in the worlds so that all beings may live.

Sacrifice for humanity is charity and love very well understood. The schools which teach the ejaculation of semen, even when they do this in a very mystical way, are really black schools, because the Kundartiguador Organ is developed with such a practice. The schools which teach the connection of the Lingam Yoni without the ejaculation of semen are white schools, because this is how the Kundalini rises through the medullar canal.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Gratitude and Kindness, The Kundabuffer

Sacrifice for humanity is universal conscious charity.

Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Entropy and Sacrifice, Evolution, Involution, Revolution, Gratitude and Kindness

It is necessary that the secret master be born in us. It is necessary to die; the ego must die. It is necessary to sacrifice ourselves for humanity: that is the Law of the Solar Logos, who sacrifices himself, crucifying himself in the worlds, so that all beings may have life and have it in abundance.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Entropy and Sacrifice, The Intimate Christ, The Solar Logos

The law of the Solar Logos is sacrifice for humanity. He sacrifices himself from the dawn of life, crucifying himself in all worlds, on each new planet, which comes into existence, so that all beings may have life and have it in abundance. Rare is he who receives the Venustic Initiation; it is a very special grace. One must previously have sacrificed oneself for humanity.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Entropy and Sacrifice, The Intimate Christ, The Solar Logos

The third factor for the Revolution of Consciousness is Sacrifice, but Sattwic Sacrifice, without desiring the fruits of action, without desiring reward; pure, sincere, disinterested sacrifice, giving one’s Life in order for others to live and without asking for anything as reward.

The third step of knowledge is that of intuitive knowledge. In order to reach the ineffable summits of intuitive knowledge, there is the need to kiss the whip of the executioner and the hand of the one who strikes us.

Whoever follows the Path of the Perfect Matrimony should develop charity. Cruel and pitiless people do not progress in this path. It is urgent to learn to love and always be willing to give even the last drop of blood for others. The warmth of charity opens all the doors of the heart. The warmth of charity brings Solar Faith to the mind. Charity is conscious love. The fire of charity develops the chakra of the heart. The fire of charity permits the Sexual Serpent to rise rapidly through the medullar channel. Whoever wants to advance rapidly on the Path of the Razor’s Edge, should practise Sexual Magic intensely and give himself totally to the Great Universal Charity. Thus, by sacrificing himself absolutely for his fellowman and giving his blood and his life for them, he will be rapidly Christified.

IVThose who renounce the happiness of Nirvana for the love of humanity

The Bodhisattva of compassion turns back from Nirvana to stay in the valley of tears and help those who suffer. He is confirmed thrice honoured, receives the Nirmanakaya body, and later wins the Venustic initiation and the Absolute.

Arcane XXI (21). The crown of the magicians. The twelfth hour of Apollonius. The courts of fire become still. This is the victorious entry into the limitless bliss of nirvana, where the Master is clothed with the shining robe of dharmasaya, or renounces the bliss of nirvana for the love of humanity, and becomes a Bodhisattva of Compassion, he is a savior of poor aching humanity, he is one more wedge of the protective wall raised with the blood of martyrs. Samyak Sambuddho, Master of perfection, renounced nirvana for the love of humanity.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in Gratitude and Kindness

This I say to my Arhats: It is better to renounce the happiness of Nirvana and sacrifice yourselves for the Great Work of the Father in order to be born within the Absolute. This I say to my Arhats: The Masters who renounce the happiness of Nirvana in order to follow the duty of the long Path of woe and bitterness are liberated from the Soul of the World after many ages. Thus, they are born within the Uncreated Light of Life, free in its movement, where only absolute happiness, absolute Consciousness and absolute Reality of the Being reigns.

Treatise of Sexual Alchemy, 1954 also in Ain, Ain Soph, Ain Soph Aur, Chesed, Entropy and Sacrifice

The bodhisattva who renounces the nirvanic temptations, the planetary kingdoms that the tempting gods offer him, and renounces Nirvana (celestial bliss) for love of humanity, is confirmed three times honorable and after eternities, he earns the right to enter the Absolute. The Absolute is life free in its movement; it is the supreme reality, the abstract space that only expresses itself as abstract absolute movement, limitless happiness, total omniscience. The Absolute is uncreated light and perfect plenitude, absolute happiness, life free in its movement, life without conditions, limitless life.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in Ain, Ain Soph, Ain Soph Aur, Chesed, Gratitude and Kindness

In the fifth initiation we must decide which of the two paths we will take; either to remain in Nirvãna enjoying the infinite happiness of boundless sacred space, sharing with the ineffable Gods, or to renounce that immense happiness and remain living in this valley of tears to help poor suffering humanity. This is the path of long and bitter duty. He who for love of humanity renounces Nirvãna, having won and lost Nirvãna for love of humanity, later attains the Venustic initiation.

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

Everyone who receives the Venustic Initiation incarnates the Internal Christ. There are millions of Buddhas in Nirvana who have not incarnated the Christ. It is better to renounce Nirvãna for love of humanity and have the joy of incarnating the Christ. The Christ-Man enters worlds of supernirvánic happiness and later, the Absolute.

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

The Voice of Silence has said: "The boddhisattwa who renounces Nirvana by love of humanity, is confirmed as three times honoured and, after many nirvanas won and lost because of this cause, he gets the right to enter the world of supranirvanic happiness...'' Nirvana has cycles of activity and others of deep rest. By the 20th century, it finds itself in a period of action.

The Three Mountains, 1972 also in Chesed

Those who renounce the happiness of Nirvana for the love of humanity, those who have the Nirmanakaya body or vehicle of solar transformation are the authentic Boddhisattwas who, indeed, walk along the Direct Path and know the word of the Lord.

VOnly the Boddhisattwas who sacrifice themselves for humanity can incarnate Christ

The Shravakas and Pratyeka Buddhas work on themselves but give nothing to others; the true Bodhisattvas have given their blood for humanity through many ages. Sacrifice for humanity is named as the condition for the Venusian initiation, the incarnation of the Christ.

The one who sacrifices himself for humanity attains the Venusian Initiation. It is urgent to know that the Venusian Initiation is the incarnation of the Christ in man.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Entropy and Sacrifice, The Intimate Christ, The Words He Uses

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution, The Intimate Christ

But Mahayana Buddhism, or Mahayanic Buddhism, is more exigent. Only those who have sacrificed themselves for humanity through successive Mahamanvantaras are recognized as Bodhisattvas.

For the Few, 1980 also in Entropy and Sacrifice

Mahayanic Buddhism says that there are two classes of these beings: those who would be Pratyeka Buddhas, and those aspiring to be Pratyeka Buddhas, who are the Shravakas. The Shravakas have never sacrificed for humanity, never, not ever. They fight for change, yes, and they do change. But, they have never given their lives for their brothers and they have never bore the Intimate Christ. The others are truly Bodhisattvas. They are those who have renounced the happiness of Nirvana for the love of humanity. They are those who, in different Mahamanvantaras, have given their blood for humanity. Even though being able to live happily in Nirvana, they renounced any happiness for their brothers on Earth. They are the only ones who can truly incarnate the Christ.

For the Few, 1980 also in Entropy and Sacrifice, The Intimate Christ

The Alchemist who does not sacrifice himself for humanity will never become a Boddhisattwa.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Entropy and Sacrifice

Only the Boddhisattwas who sacrifice themselves for humanity can incarnate Christ. The sacred title of Boddhisattwa is legitimately attained, only by those who have renounced to all Nirvanic happiness for the love of the suffering humanity.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Entropy and Sacrifice, Suffering, The Intimate Christ

The Bodhisitta emerges in the aspirant who sacrifices himself for his fellowmen; long before the Mercurial bodies have been created.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Entropy and Sacrifice

H. P. B. conventionally referred to Boddhisattwa as those who possess the superior existential bodies of the Being, or better said, Mercurial bodies. However, in strict Orthodox Buddhism, only those who have the Bodhisitta in themselves and who have renounced to all Nirvanic happiness for the love of humanity can qualify themselves as Boddhisattwas.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The Boddhisattwas with compassionate heart sacrifice themselves for planetary humanities through successive Mahamanvantaras, and finally, they achieve the incarnation of Christ.

The one who wants initiations and degrees should study this book. He should then practice it and teach the doctrine to everyone everywhere; he should become an apostle, a Gnostic leader.

8 That Ancient of Days must not be mistaken for the Kether of Hebrew Kabbalah. The Ancient of Days mentioned here by Master Samael, is the title given to the blessed Sanat Kumara by the very Sacred Scriptures due to having an unfathomable age. See chapter 7 of Prophet Daniel. ones, we can call them Sravakas and Pratyeka-Buddhas. Obviously, they are ascetics, they know that the false feeling of the “I” leads one to failure, they understand it; they have worried about working intensely upon themselves, they have made their vows, some of them have even diluted the Ego; but they do not work for others, they do nothing for their fellow man.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Psychology of False Feelings Third Chamber – Mexico City – May 4. 1977

There are two types of Bodhisattvas: those who have the Bodhicitta in their interior and those who do not have it. What is understood by Bodhicitta? Simply that, based on different renunciations and on entire “kalpas” in which they manifest themselves in the worlds and renouncing any degree of happiness, they work for humanity. The latter have the Existential Bodies of pure gold, because that is the Bodhicitta: the Superior Existential Bodies of the Being and the wisdom and the experience acquired through successive eternities.

VIISee how great the labor of the missionaries is

From the Lumisials to the World Salvation Army, the Gnostic missionary is held up as the plainest form of the third factor. A disciple asks whether only giving the Teaching counts as sacrifice, and the answer adds healing and charity and speaks of debts settled.

A practice

Every Lumisial must be a meditation center. Multiply the Lumisials all over, for the good of the Great Work of the Father. It is urgent that every Lumisial have its missionaries, and that these missionaries work with supreme intensity opening everywhere more and more Lumisials.

When one speaks of Gnosis to another person – and I say this especially to our missionaries– one has to be a little alert, because people flee when they listen to us or when they seem to listen to us; they are not at home.

The Fifth Gospel The Metaphysical Value of Knowing How to Listen

The missionaries who work to form the Army, obviously, will become the paladins of the Golden Age. See how great the labor of the missionaries is! These brothers abandon everything for the Christ: they abandon their homeland, their family, their goods, everything, to form the World Salvation Army.

The Fifth Gospel Transcendental Exhortation Addressed to the Missionaries

That is why the labor of the missionary is glorious: based on sacrifice –many times terrible– they labor in the Great Work of the Father. Gnostic missionaries are called to create the new civilization and the new culture. But they must first begin by the formation of that nucleus which we need to initiate the New Age.

The Fifth Gospel Transcendental Exhortation Addressed to the Missionaries

A practice

Above all we want, frankly, here, in the Patriarchal Headquarters of Mexico, Gnostic missionaries who are very well prepared. Missionaries are needed for Peru, for Ecuador, for Bolivia, for Argentina, for Brazil, for Chile, etc., and there are none; so missionaries must understand the need to serve humanity. Missionaries must understand that it is necessary to get prepared seriously. I consider that, above all, missionaries must master thoroughly my last two books: Revolutionary Psychology and The Great Rebellion. They are fundamental, they must master them in a complete, integral, unitotal way. We know well that if the Ego is not dissolved, then one involutes within the entrails of the Earth.

The Fifth Gospel Simplicity for Living and Giving the Message

Disciple: I want to ask you about what sacrifice is, because there is the concept that only by giving the Teaching, one sacrifices oneself for humanity. I want the Master to make a clarification on this matter.

The Fifth Gospel The Greatness of the Gnostic Apostolate Interview – Mexico City – November, 1976

There are other little brothers who do not have such high capacities to be international Gnostic missionaries, but who serve the world in different ways: either by healing the sick, or by doing works of charity, with their profession, with their work, etc. Each one serves within his possibilities. But those who serve as international Gnostic missionaries, obviously, walk on a path of great self-realizations. With sacrifice in favor of humanity old debts are settled and, in the end, one is left completely clean of karma. How beautiful it is to be left clean of karma, how magnificent, how sublime!

The Fifth Gospel The Greatness of the Gnostic Apostolate Interview – Mexico City – November, 1976 also in Gratitude and Kindness, The Law of Karma

Thus, sacrifice is advisable for those who truly want to be left clean of karma, because when one has with what to pay, one pays and does well in business. When one does not have with what to pay, one must pay with a lot of pain. It is better to have cosmic capital to pay, and that capital is achieved by means of sacrifice in favor of humanity, taking the Teaching to all the peoples of the Earth.

When one understands the moment in which one is living, when one truly loves one’s fellow men, when one certainly wants to intimately self-realize, whatever the cost, one does not care about the sacrifices and the efforts; one is willing with great pleasure to offer his very own life on the altar of supreme love for humanity.

VIIIIf we disintegrate the Ego, we are paid

Each of the three factors is said to be paid by the Great Law, and Enlightenment is reached only by one who has done all three. Cosmic capital, the means to pay one’s debts, is gathered by working for humanity.

“Well-dressed”. What is understood by “a well– dressed individual in a nice chariot” in Kabbalah? The one who has fabricated the Superior Existential Bodies of the Being and who, moreover, has christified them. That is a “well-dressed” individual. And if he “has a lot of money in the pocket”, what is being affirmed? That he has cosmic capital. Such capital is obtained by doing good deeds, working for humanity.

The Fifth Gospel Psychic Associations that Lead to Awakening Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975 also in The Law of Karma

It is obvious that if we disintegrate the Ego, we are paid. It is certain and absolutely true that if we create the Superior Existential Bodies of the Being, we are paid. We cannot deny that if we sacrifice ourselves for our fellow men, we are paid. All that is indubitable.

The Fifth Gospel The Power of Intuition of the Psychological Man Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 22, 1977 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

In order to achieve absolute Enlightenment, one needs to work with the three factors of the Revolution of the Consciousness: to be born, that is to say, to create the Superior Existential Vehicles of the Being; to die, to disintegrate the Ego in its totality; to sacrifice for humanity. There you have the three factors of the Revolution of the Consciousness.

The Fifth Gospel The Power of Intuition of the Psychological Man Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 22, 1977 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution

A practice

But, as I was saying to you, we have to know how to work on ourselves; that is obvious. We need to organize the psychological man within ourselves, first and foremost. Before we achieve absolute Enlightenment, the psychological man must be born in us, and he is born in us when the psyche is organized. We must organize the psyche within ourselves, here and now.

The Fifth Gospel The Power of Intuition of the Psychological Man Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 22, 1977

It is the inner man that counts. The inner man receives his payment, the Great Law pays him. The inner man is awake because he has disintegrated the Ego; the real, true man, who sacrifices himself for his fellow men, obviously, achieves Enlightenment.

The Fifth Gospel The Power of Intuition of the Psychological Man Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 22, 1977

Reaching Enlightenment is possible, but do not forget, my dear friends, that Enlightenment, in turn, has its laws: the reason of being of Enlightenment is Dharmadhatu, that is, the Dharma. If one has sacrificed for the worlds, if he has truly created his Superior Existential Bodies, if he has truly dissolved the Ego, he receives reward, payment, because deep inner Enlightenment is only possible in the region of Dharmadhatu.

Part Five — But people are lukewarm

IFactors which people do not like

People are found unwilling to descend to the Ninth Sphere, to die or to sacrifice, and some postpone the Second Birth to future lives. The lukewarm and those who work with a single factor, often badly, are reproached.

The revolution of the consciousness has three factors, factors which people do not like: 1. To die. 2. To be born. 3. To sacrifice for humanity.

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

The third basic factor for the revolution of the consciousness consists in sacrificing oneself for humanity, of showing the Path to others; that is charity correctly understood; that is love. We have explained a lot and we have said a lot in our past messages about the three basic factors for the revolution of the consciousness, but people are lukewarm and Christ said, “I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth.” (Revelations 3:15-16)

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Entropy and Sacrifice, Evolution, Involution, Revolution, Gratitude and Kindness

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.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Entropy and Sacrifice, Psychological Death

IIThey committed the mistake of not building their Solar Bodies

Each factor taken alone fails: the potent begin the Maithuna and forget death and sacrifice, the charitable forget the dissolution of the I and the bodies. Just men and celibate monks end in limbo for lack of the wedding garment.

The pseudo-esoterists and pseudo-occultists react before the three factors of our Fifth Gospel; each one according to their age, mental conditioning, prejudices, passions, weaknesses, etc. People who are full of sexual potency prefer to begin the work with the Maithuna but forget the death of the ‘I’ and the sacrifice for humanity.

It is correct for people full of sexual potency to begin to work with the Maithuna right away in order to fabricate their solar bodies, but it is not correct that said people do not concern themselves with the dissolution of the ‘I’ or with the sacrifice for humanity.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

It is correct that we sacrifice ourselves for humanity, but it is not correct to forget the dissolution of the ‘I’ and the fabrication of the Superior Existential Bodies of the Being. The intimate self-realisation is only possible by working with the three basic factors for the revolution of the consciousness. Chapter VIII: Sexual Abuse This Christmas 1965-1966 it is urgent for us to comprehend in an integral way the necessity of liberating ourselves from this world of 48 laws that we live in, if it is that we do not want to degenerate in order to fall into the horrid world of 96 laws. The study of the 48 laws which we live in is truly a very profound study. If we want to free ourselves from the 48 laws we must study them in ourselves.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Evolution, Involution, Revolution, Malkuth, The Laws of the Three and of the Seven

Within Limbo, live many just men who worked for humanity and who dissolved the “I”; yet, they committed the mistake of not building their Solar Bodies.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

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 Second 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.

How this was made. All fifty-two books were extracted — 73,105 paragraphs, 2,157,671 words — and swept for the three factors by name (the three factors, the first, second and third factor, to be born, to die and to sacrifice in any order), for the three taught together without the word, for the second birth (born again, twice-born, born of water and of the spirit, Nicodemus, to be born where the birth is the inner one), and for the sacrifice for humanity, for others and for our fellowmen, with the work, the love and the teaching given to humanity and the Bodhisattva who renounces for it. That returned 606 candidate paragraphs in 42 books, 103 of them from the Fifth Gospel lectures. Every candidate was read twice, by independent readers working from a written brief; they agreed on whether to print 94.1% of the time and on the class 86.3%, and a third reader, who saw neither verdict, settled the 36 they did not. 241 are printed here; 19 more were set aside as the same teaching said again, a reprint of an earlier book, or a question with no printable answer, and every other paragraph is recordedwith the reason it was set aside.

What was set aside. The death of the ego in general (in Psychological Death); reincarnation and the return (in Return and Reincarnation); sacrifice as the transmutation of one’s own forces, one’s anger and one’s own pain (in Entropy and Sacrifice); transmutation technique for itself (in Alchemy and Chastity); the Christ’s own drama (in The Intimate Christ); physical birth, a child born and born under a sign; and every sacrifice that is a rite.

Nothing of his is changed except where a word split at the end of a line was joined; that was done silently.

No sentence of his is cut in half. Each range was extended against the corpus until his sentence closed; 45 ranges run over more than one paragraph.

131 passages also stand in a finished work, and every one is marked where it stands, most of them in Entropy and Sacrifice, Evolution, Involution, Revolution and Gratitude and Kindness. This booklet reprints them so that it stands alone.

Checked five ways. Every reader's note was proved to sit on the passage as printed. Every printed pair was compared as sequences. Every ragged edge was repaired or named. Every one of the 53 passages marked a practice was proved to carry its own instruction. And every passage was checked word for word against a fresh extraction of its book.
