The Twelve Powers Are Within Us

The Being as many conscious parts, the twelve Apostles as twelve of them, and what each one does within us, here and now

227 passages11 books6 practices 10 lectures30 sections5 parts

Every word here is his. Nothing has been paraphrased, joined or improved. Each passage was cut out of the book it belongs to by reference, and each carries that book and the paragraph it came from, and, where he was speaking rather than writing, the name of the lecture.

This booklet gathers what Samael Aun Weor taught about the parts of the Being. Most of it comes from Pistis Sophia Unveiled, where he stops again and again, among the Repentances of Sophia, to say that Peter, Andrew, Thomas, James and the rest are not only figures from long ago. In his words: “The Twelve Powers are within us, here and now.”

The Being he describes is not a single, simple thing. It is many parts, each one conscious, each with its own work, and the twelve Apostles are twelve of them. Peter holds the mysteries of sex, Andrew suffers the death of the ego on his cross, Thomas gives comprehension, and Philip teaches us to leave the body. Other parts are here too: the Divine Mother, the Guardian Angel, the Lion of the Law, the five Helpers.

For a practitioner this changes what the work is. Dissolving the ego frees the Light that the parts had lost. Humility and truthfulness let us come near them. And we can ask a part for help, as he shows with Philip and with the Divine Mother. He puts it simply: “It is necessary to stop thinking a little bit about the twelve historical apostles and learn to think, directly, about the twelve apostles that we carry within us; this is the fundamental thing.”

IOur Being looks like an army of innocent children

The Being is not one thing but many, and each of its parts is self-conscious and even autonomous. He warns that the Being cannot be drawn on a chart, and that it must never be confused with the 'I'.

We must never forget that the Archons of the Aeons, and the Guardians of the same Aeons, are diverse Self-conscious parts of our own Being. Our Being looks like an army of innocent children. Each part of the individual Being is Self-conscious and even autonomous.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

It would be in no way possible to portray the Being. It resembles an army of innocent children; each of them performs specific tasks. The greatest longing of all initiates is to unify all parts of the Being.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

Moreover, it is necessary to repeat that the Being is multiple during his manifestation. The Intimate Christ perfects the different autonomous and self-conscious parts of our Being, by dissolving the undesirable elements that we carry within our interior. The Being is the Being, and the reason for the Being to be, is to be the Being Himself. We must not confuse the Being with the ‘I’.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The independent parts of the Being are many, and we must perfect each one of them. We have not given notice to all the parts of the Being, because we would need volumes in order to talk about them and their work.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Each part of the Being is ineffable and terribly divine.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Unquestionably, all the personages of Pistis Sophia are autonomous and Self-conscious parts of our own Being.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Obviously, each one of the twelve parts and every one of the parts of our own Being has his documentation in the sacred Scriptures.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

This matter of comprehension is very elastic; the degrees of comprehension vary; it could be that today we comprehend this or that matter in a certain way and in a certain manner in a relative and circumstantial way, and tomorrow we comprehend in a better way. The apprehension of the profound meaning of such and such a defect is only possible through all the parts of our Integral Being. If some parts of our Being have captured the deep meaning but other parts of our same Being have not captured it, then the integral and profound meaning also has not been unitotally apprehended.

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

In Gnosis, if the diverse, autonomous and Self-conscious parts of the Being were unknown, then the work of the solar and human integration would not be understood. In all of this, there is a process described by the Great Kabir Jesus. Whosoever has understanding, let him understand, for there is wisdom within.

IIWe must never forget the seven, the twelve and the twenty-four

The Rulers and Archons of the Aeons, the Seven, the twenty-four Elders, the forty-nine Fires: he reads every one of these hosts as parts of our own Being, found within our own Soul.

The Archons of the Twelve Aeons, their Lords and their Authorities, their Angels and their Archangels, are represented within ourselves by the distinct autonomous and selfconscious parts of our own Being. The powers of the Rulers of the Aeons, and those of the Fate and those of the Sphere, are found within our own Soul.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The diverse, autonomous and self-conscious parts of our Being are represented within our own Soul by the Rulers of the Aeons and of those of the Fate and those of the Sphere. They do not desire to devour the matter of the refuse of the purification of the ir Light. Christ, our Lord, reduces times and periods in order that we may quickly receive the Mysteries and be in the Treasury of the Light.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The powers that had been lost are precisely the forty-nine autonomous and Selfconscious parts of our own Being. All and each one of the autonomous and conscious parts of our own Being are precisely the Cosmic Powers of Pistis Sophia.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Nevertheless, the Four and Twenty Elders are the four and twenty autonomous and Selfconscious parts of our own interior, profound Being. We must never forget the seven, the twelve and the twenty-four, etc., within ourselves. Indeed, the forty and nine fires are the forty and nine independent and Self-conscious parts of our real Being.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Obviously, the seven exist within the human being. I want to emphatically refer to the seven autonomous and Self-conscious parts of our own Being.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

There are also the Twenty-Four Emanations, the Twenty-Four Elders, which are the twenty-four parts of our Being. How could we really know anything about the Zodiac, anything other than merely mechanical astrology or common everyday astrology, if one is not in direct contact with the Twenty-Four Emanations?

The Fifth Gospel The Seven Minds And The Seven Truths Third Chamber – Mexico City – July 13, 1977

The powers of the twenty-and-four Elders are found placed within the depth of our Soul. The twenty-and-four autonomous and Self-conscious parts of our own Being are the twenty-and-four Elders, within our own individual Zodiac.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The nine Guards of the Great Treasury of the Light are hidden within each one of us. The nine Guards of the Great Treasury are nine self-independent and self-conscious parts of our own Being.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

These six are in reality six Self-conscious and independent parts of our own Being. The economy of the ingathering of the Light is something transcendental.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

In sequence and correct etymological corollary, the people of Israel are constituted by the various parts of the Being.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Indeed, all the Invisibles and Gods and Rulers from the Twelfth and Thirteenth Aeons, are the multiple sovereign and Self-conscious parts of our own individual Being. All those who perform the Christic Mysteries will, one day, return to the Thirteenth Aeon.

IIIEach part of our own Being has his sacred ministry

Every part has its own work: Morpheus trains us in sleep, the Antimony fixes the Gold, and a part skilled in the arts can take over a job an 'I' used to do. The Essence cannot do the Great Work alone; the parts have to work in it too.

Each part of our own Being has his sacred ministry.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

He will be totally quiet for some time, and, once he is completely relaxed, physically as well as mentally, he will concentrate on Morpheus, the god of sleep. Unquestionably, each part of our Real Being has specific tasks. It is precisely Morpheus (do not confuse with Orpheus) who is in charge of training us in the mysteries of sleep. It is impossible to trace a layout of our Being. Nevertheless, all the spiritual, isolated parts of the Being want to achieve absolute perfection in their tasks. Morpheus enjoys this unique opportunity with which we provide him when we concentrate on him.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

The Antimony is one part of the Being. It is the great Alchemist who fastens the Gold into the superior existential bodies of the Being.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

“Master, if I disintegrate the useful “I” that makes pants in my factory, then who is going to keep making pants? I am going to go broke, my factory is going to fail!” “Don’t worry” I said, “good friend. If you disintegrate that “I”, a corresponding part of the Being, also skillful in all kinds of arts, will take charge of the work of making pants and will make them better, by the way. My friend showed satisfaction and continued his task.

The Fifth Gospel Didactics For Buddhist Annihilation Conference at the end of the Missionary Course – Guadalajara, Jalisco. Mexico – From June 15 to August 30. 1976

I say this because it turns out that within us exists the Twelve Emanations, within us exist the Four, within us exists the Lion of the Law, within us exist our own Anubis, the Minerva, etc. It is clear that the parts of the Being, in reality and in truth, control all the different facets of the human organism, but one does not control especially one organ and another controls another organ, otherwise these entities would turn into merely mechanical creatures, and it is not like that.

The Fifth Gospel The Seven Minds And The Seven Truths Third Chamber – Mexico City – July 13, 1977

So, I was able to understand that an order was established in the work. And the thing is that the superior parts of the Being, such as Devi Kundalini and the Father who is in secret, or the individual, personal Shiva –the individual personal Brahma– had established a wonderful order.

The Fifth Gospel The Wonders Of Awakened Consciousness Public Lecture – 1975

We had said, and we repeat again, that the Archons are the diverse, autonomous and Selfconscious parts of our own Being. By itself, the Essence within each one of us could never perform all of the ‘Great Work.’ It is necessary for the Rulers, which means the diverse, Self-conscious and independent parts of our own Being, to work intensely in the Great Work.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Only thus, when all the parts of the Being are working, can we reach the intimate Selfrealization. The superior part of the Being must intensely help man, because if He (the superior part of the Being) does not help him, man fails, and if man fails, the superior part or the superior parts also fail.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The Deliverers are the superior parts of the Being who visit the Adept in the Averno in order to instruct him.

IVWhen any part of the Being is bottled up, it boasts of itself

A part caught inside a psychic aggregate keeps back its Light, grows proud and takes itself for sovereign. When the aggregate is dissolved, the Light comes back to that part, and it rejoices.

If the emanation, or the part of the Being does not give its Light of perfection, it is because it remains bottled up within a psychic aggregate It is obvious that when any part of the Being is bottled up, it boasts of itself, it becomes egotistical.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Any part of the Being which is bottled up in one or another psychic aggregate, living personification of a psychological defect, intends to boast of itself and believe itself to be sovereign.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The tyrant gods are really those autonomous and independent parts of the Being who are bottled up in lights, which are not the Christic Light. Yet, they persist in purifying their light, which is not the Light of the Lord.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The emanation that does not give the purification of its Light can never be saved. Each part of our own Being must be perfected. The perfection of each part is possible only with the elimination of the undesirable psychic elements.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The twenty-four Elders, or twenty-four autonomous and Self-conscious parts of our own Being, will see what has befallen in front of the Lion of the Law. Thus, they will be afraid and will not be disobedient, but will give the purification of their Light. A divine, ineffable purification irradiates from their Light.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Similarly, within each one of ourselves, the Rulers, the superior parts of our Being must watch over their emanations, which are the red demons of Seth.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The inferior parts of our own Being, placed in the inferior levels, also have the right to repentance.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Seventy Times Seven

It is ostensible that the Initiate, filled with Pistis Sophia, re-conquers the light that the psychic aggregates have taken away from within each one of the forty-nine parts of the Being.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

It is obvious that the parts of the Being, whose power was taken away by the ego, are joyous in their hearts when the Light has been returned to them.

VThe absolute perfection of each and every isolated part of the Being

Perfection comes one part at a time, and none of it comes while the undesirable elements remain inside us. The higher the part, the more it asks of us.

Unquestionably, the absolute perfection of each and every isolated part of the Being can be achieved only by radically dying in ourselves, here and now.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

The inner Self-realization of each one of the autonomous and self-conscious parts of the Being is more than impossible, as long as all the undesirable elements that we carry within our interior are not disintegrated.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

It could not be possible to perfect the superior parts of our own Being, unless we previously disintegrate all of those undesirable elements that we carry in our interior. The perfection of all the autonomous and Self-conscious parts of our own Being could not be gained in any way without the splendors of Pistis Sophia.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The most elevated parts of the Being are demanding. Therefore, no one can perfect them without having eliminated the totality of the undesirable psychic elements.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Whosoever perfects the highest part of the Being receives for such a motive the degree of Ishmesch.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

There are various stages of inner Self-realisation. Some initiates have achieved perfection in some isolated parts of their Being, but they still have much work to do before reaching the absolute perfection of all parts.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

The Rulers of the Aeons and those of the Fate and those of the sphere of action in which we live, who are within ourselves, and who are autonomous and conscious parts of our own Being, want the radical elimination of the animal ego.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

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

VIOnly the diverse parts of the Being search for the Intimate Christ

The parts long for the Light and for Sophia to be lifted up, and they suffer in the nights of the Soul when she is absent. They receive their Light through Christ, and they drink from the hand of the Highest.

Only the diverse parts of the Being search for the Intimate Christ.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The diverse parts of the Being search for the Light, and wish for the Mystery of Sophia. They wish for Sophia to be exalted.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The Rulers of the Twelve Aeons, who are within ourselves, and who are self independent parts of our own Being, suffer and long for the moment when Sophia is elevated to the height of the Thirteenth Aeon, the highest part of the Being.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

When Pistis Sophia ascends to the superior Aeons, the less elevated levels of the Being suffer terribly, These are the nights of the Soul in which the diverse parts of the Being feel the absence of Sophia.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

It is understood that the powers are each one of the independent parts of the Being that descend into the Chaos and suffer.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

All the autonomous and Self-conscious parts of our own individual Being must have complete trust in the Interior Light, here and now.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The distinct, independent parts of our own Being sing praises to the Intimate Christ. The triple powers of the Being, and their forefathers and their ungenerated and their selfgenerated, and their Gods and their light-sparks and their light-bearers, whose powers are found within our own Soul, know very well that the tyrants, whom we carry within, succumb in front of the Lord.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The diverse parts of the Being receive the light through Christ.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The entire Philosophical Earth, our body, is transformed within its interior. The diverse parts of the Being drink. Their thirst is quieted and quenched when the draught from the hand of the Highest is given.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The ministers of the draught, to whom the mercurial water have been entrusted, are the parts of the Being who are related with the transmutatory science of Yesod Mercury. The distinct Self-conscious and independent parts of the Being have refreshed their parched lips. They are filled with joy with the waters of life.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

All the Self-conscious and independent parts of the Being come to know themselves within the interior, profound Lord, by means of conscious works and voluntary sufferings. They save themselves by means of the Mercurial Waters of the Wise.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The Light reflects in all the parts of the Being and fills with happiness the wholeness of the host.

VIIThe Twelve Powers are within us, here and now

The Twelve Apostles are twelve self-conscious, even independent parts of our own Being, and only twelve of the many. All the disciples of the Intimate Christ live inside us.

The Twelve Apostles. The Twelve Powers are within us, here and now.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

One is amazed when he knows that the twelve apostles of Christ are within oneself. And this is correct, they are. There are Twelve Cosmic Powers within each human being, in their own profound inner Being. When one knows how to get in contact with those Twelve Inner Powers, then he remains Enlightened, he no longer has to protest. But as long as one is not in contact with those Twelve Powers, where will wisdom come from? Where will he get Enlightenment from? Where will he get the power from?

The Fifth Gospel The Seven Minds And The Seven Truths Third Chamber – Mexico City – July 13, 1977

The Twelve Powers, the Twelve, are twelve self-conscious parts, and even independent parts of our own Being.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The Twelve Powers, the Twelve Apostles, are, I repeat, twelve autonomous and selfconscious parts of our own Being. The Twelve Apostles, under the direction of the Intimate Christ, are expressing themselves through the Initiate when he is working for the suffering humanity.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The Twelve Powers are only twelve parts of the many autonomous and self-Conscious parts of the Being.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The Twelve Apostles are in reality twelve parts of our own interior, profound Being, twelve Light Powers.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The Divine Mother Kundalini, Marah, Mary, the Woman-Serpent, knows very well that when the undesirable psyc hic elements that we carry within our interior are dissolved, then, the Intimate Christ, being all Light and power, takes his place within our Soul. All the disciples of the Intimate Christ reside within ourselves. They are precisely the diverse autonomous and Self-conscious parts of our own Being.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The Twelve Apostles, the fundamental parts of the Being, are always slandered and persecuted by the perverse ones. Every illuminated Master knows this.

VIIIThe Cosmic Drama is never exclusively historic

What the Four Gospels tell is lived again inside every initiate who is prepared, each apostle playing his own part in it. The drama belongs to all of us, here and now.

Undoubtedly, this cited drama has always been secretly lived in the depths of the superlative consciousness of the Being. The cosmic drama is not the exclusive property of the Great Kabir Jesus, as learned ignoramuses always suppose. The initiates of all times, the Masters in all centuries, have had to live the cosmic drama within themselves, here and now.

The Great Rebellion, 1975

May all that which the red demons of Seth have wickedly prepared fall upon them. Hope is in the Intimate Christ, in the Martyr of Calvary, who must live the complete Cosmic Drama within the Boddhisattwa. The Cosmic Drama is never exclusively historic. This Drama is palpitating actuality and the Intimate Christ must live it within ourselves, here and now.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The Lord must live the entire Cosmic Drama within ourselves, just as it is written within the Four Gospels, here and now.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Christ always lives the same Cosmic Drama within any prepared human being. This signifies that the Four Gospels are always palpitating actuality.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Such a drama was brought to Earth by the Elohim. Any man that seeks the inner self realization of the Being has to live it and become its central character of the cosmic scene. In this manner, each of the 12 apostles of Jesus of Nazareth had to represent their role in the scene; Judas did not want to carry out the role that fell to him; he asked for Peter’s role but Jesus had already firmly established the role that each of the disciples had to symbolize. Judas had to learn by memory the role that he had to represent and this was taught to him by his Master. Judas Iscariot never then, betrayed the Master; the gospel of Judas is of the dissolution of ego. Without Judas, the cosmic drama is not possible; this apostle is then the most exalted adept, the most elevated of all of the apostles of the Christ Jesus.

The Twelve stand round the Intimate Christ inside us. They have to come to dwell in our bodies and be perfected there, and that is only possible as the undesirable elements are dissolved.

The Intimate Christ and the Twelve Powers reside within us, here and now.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Christ and the Twelve Powers incarnated in every true human being.

XILearning to relate to those twelve apostles within us is extraordinary

Here he goes round the Twelve quickly, saying what each one teaches us: Peter sex, Matthew pure science, Andrew the death of the ego, John the Word, Thomas how to handle the mind, Philip the Jinn states. The pages that follow take them one at a time.

It is necessary to stop thinking a little bit about the twelve historical apostles and learn to think, directly, about the twelve apostles that we carry within us; this is the fundamental thing.

The Fifth Gospel The Seven Minds And The Seven Truths Third Chamber – Mexico City – July 13, 1977

So, learning to relate to those twelve apostles within us is extraordinary. Peter, for example, teaches us the mysteries of sex; Matthew teaches us pure science; Luke, his gospel is according to the Light, the Solar Gospel; Andrew shows us the path of the disintegration of the Ego in a very complete way, together with the work in the Lit Forge of Vulcan and the sacrifice for humanity – the cross of Saint Andrew is speaking clearly of all this–. John is the Verb, the Word; Thomas, what does Thomas tell us? He teaches us how to handle the minds, and especially the intellectual mind. He tells us that we must not pay attention to other people’s concepts, that we must strictly depend on our profound inner Being and nothing else. Of course, he says it to those who already have that grace, to those who can already depend on the different parts of their own Being, and it is clear that none of you can yet depend on your Being on your own.

The Fifth Gospel The Seven Minds And The Seven Truths Third Chamber – Mexico City – July 13, 1977

What would we say about Peter? He is a specialist in the mysteries of sex. And what can we say about Philip? Philip is a scribe, he also knows the Jinn states and the travels outside the physical body, look, here is the extraordinary thing about Philip! etc., because it would really take a long time to list all that right now. But in any case, the Twelve Powers or twelve fundamental parts of our own Being are the true twelve apostles.

XIIPeter is the Hierophant of sex within ourselves

Peter within is the part of the Being related with the mysteries of sex, the Rock on which the inner temple is built. He holds the two keys, Sulphur and Mercury, and whatever he opens or closes in us is opened or closed in Heaven.

We formerly explained that the twelve autonomous and Self-conscious parts of our own Being are the twelve Apostles of the Cosmic Drama within ourselves, here and now. Therefore, we must comprehend that Peter, within ourselves, is that Self-conscious part of our profound interior Being, related with the mysteries of sex.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

It is clear that Peter is the Hierophant of sex within ourselves. Therefore, he has the power to open or to close the doors of Heaven in ourselves, and within ourselves. Verily, verily, I say unto you that Peter has the keys of the Kingdom.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

“What do you think a rock is?” This reminds us of the philosophical stone of the old medieval alchemists. This reminds us of Peter’s doctrine. Petrus or Peter means Rock, and he was one of the twelve apostles of Christ, whose birth we are celebrating this Christmas night. The doctrine of Peter is the doctrine of sex, the science of Maithuna (Sexual Magic). The living stone is sex, the rock on which we must raise the interior temple for the inner Christ, our Lord.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

Nevertheless, Peter and the Woman-Serpent within ourselves are found intimately related.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Speaking against the Mysteries of sex implies an attack against the Intimate Peter, who is the autonomous and Self-conscious part of our own Being related with sex. Strong is the one who strengthens himself in sexual magic.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Our beloved readers must not forget that the CXIX Psalm, cited by the Hierophant Peter, corresponds to the specific functions of our Intimate Peter and to the Mysteries of sex. Similarly, each one of the personages of the Pistis Sophia is one of the parts of our own Being.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The Intimate Christ has the power in order to perfect Peter in his entire splendor. The Lord gives all the Mysteries of all the regions of the Father and all the regions of the First Mystery to the interior Peter within each one of us.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Consequently, the secret Peter of each one of us is interesting. He, who Peter admits on earth, shall be admitted into the Light of the height, and he who Peter expels on earth, shall be expelled from the Kingdom of the Father in Heaven.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Sulphur and Mercury are the two keys of the Kingdom. These two keys, one of Gold and the other of Silver, form a Cross in the hands of Peter.

XIIIThe key of repentance is in sex

Peter is the one who gives the solution to the repentance of the Soul, and he speaks it among his brothers, the other parts. His cross upside down and his three denials point to the work in the Ninth Sphere and the three descents into the Abyss.

Peter, Patar, with his radical letters, knows very well that the key of repentance is in sex. The three radical letters of Peter, Patar, are ‘P-T-R’.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Seventy Times Seven

Peter, the Hierophant of sex, always gives the solution of the repentance of Pistis Sophia. The true repentance of the Soul has a sexual foundation.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Seventy Times Seven

The Intimate Christ knows very well that the interior Peter of each one of us integrally comprehends the solution of the repentance that Pistis Sophia uttered.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Peter is the one who has to express the idea of repentance in the midst of his brethren. The brethren of Peter are the autonomous and Self-conscious parts of our own individual Being.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Peter’s death, crucified on the inverted cross, with his head towards the ground, indicates the necessity for us to descend into the Ninth Sphere, sex, in order to work with the fire and water. All White Initiations begin here.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The inverted cross of Peter indicates that we must work in the Ninth Sphere, sex. Mars descends into the Ninth Sphere in order to re-temper his sword, as does Hercules in order to clean the Stables of Augias, as does Perseus in order to cut the Head of Medusa with his Flaming Sword.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

When the Hierophant Patar or Peter forgot himself, he denied the Intimate Christ three times. Peter, Petra o Stone was the actual Hierophant---"interpreter'' in Phoenician---from which the famous evangelic sentence has its origin: "You are Peter and on this Stone I will build my Church'' (our interior Temple).

The Three Mountains, 1972

These are the three purifications based on iron and fire, before the Resurrection of the Intimate Christ within ourselves. Peter must descend to the Abyss three times, in order to work in the Darkness.

XIVAndrew and his doctrine is the struggle for the disintegration of the psychic aggregates

The interior Andrew is the part that looks after the three factors: to be born, to die, and to sacrifice oneself for humanity. His work is to break up the Dry Mercury, and it hurts terribly.

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. 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. The Mercury and the Sulphur must incessantly cross if we long to continue the performance of the Great Work.

Andrew and his doctrine is the struggle for the disintegration of the psychic aggregates. Andrew, with his Cross, must crystallize the Sulphur and the Mercury in the form of the existential, superior bodies of the Being.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Andrew and his Cross is something profoundly significant. The Cross of St. Andrew on which he died crucified is alchemical. There are terrible psychological tortures through which we must pass in order to disintegrate the Dry Mercury, in other words, the psychic aggregates, which are the living personification of our psychological defects.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Andrew must disintegrate the Dry Mercury and the Arsenic Sulphur. Andrew must crystallize the prepared Philosophical Mercury.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The sufferings of the Initiate, crucified on the Cross of Andrew, are inexpressible. It is not possible to purify and perfect the Mercurial Bodies, if we renounce the disintegration of the Dry Mercury.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

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

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

Now, we can better comprehend the inexpressible suffering of our Interior Andrew. “Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.”

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

To comprehend Andrew, without the transmutatory science of ‘Yesod-Mercury’, and without the disintegration of the undesirable psychic elements that we carry in our interior, would be impossible.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The supreme sacrifice of the Interior Andrew is urgent, non-delayable and unpostponable.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Entropy and Sacrifice

We could never convert ourselves into Boddhisattwas without the complete work of the Interior Andrew.

XVIf the Rose shines on the Cross of Saint Andrew

Andrew's X is the whole Great Work: crystallize what must be crystallized and dissolve what must be dissolved. When the superior bodies are finished, Andrew is perfected and joins the Father.

Nevertheless, we must not forget our individual, interior Andrew.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The interior Andrew perfects himself when the superior existential bodies of the Being have been perfected.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Obviously, Andrew will perfect himself in the Mysteries of the Light with his Cross in an ‘X’ and with his complicated and terribly difficult work, which is to crystallize that which must be crystallized and to disintegrate that which must be disintegrated. The tortures of St. Andrew are sufficient for his purification.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

In the Great Work, Andrew, suffering on the sexual cross, must perfect himself from the Ineffable down to the Darkness of darknesses, from the Light of lights down to the darkness of matter, from all the Gods down to the demons.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Andrew must perfect himself by virtue of conscious works and voluntary sufferings, from all the lords down to the decans, from all the authorities down to the servitors, etc., etc… Each one of the parts of the Being must reach the total, integral perfection.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Andrew is integrated with the Father when perfected within each one of ourselves. Let us remember that we need to perfect each one of the twelve within ourselves, here and now. The perfect number within each one of ourselves is the sum total of all the autonomous and Self-conscious parts of our own individual Being.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The Cross of Saint Andrew has the form of an ‘X’, which is the extraordinary hieroglyph of the luminous and divergent radiations that emerge from the Creator Logos.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The rose, symbol of the Solar Logos, shines in the center of the Cross of Saint Andrew. The Cross of Saint Andrew symbolizes illumination...revelation, after frightful sacrifices. The Greek Cross and the Cross of Saint Andrew have the same significance in Hermetic science.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Nevertheless, the Cross as an ‘X’ indicates the complete work in the Great Work. The Work will have victoriously concluded, if the Rose shines on the Cross of Saint Andrew.

XVIThe real wisdom is within oneself

Thomas is the part of comprehension: slow, patient, and the one who gives the last word on the repentance. People call him the doubter because he accepts nothing that does not come straight from the Intimate Christ.

Thomas is one of the twelve within our own selves, one part of our own Being. The mind of Thomas exclusively receives the words of Christ.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Only the Great Light can save our intimate powers from the emanations of the Selfwilled ego. Being sober signifies being comprehensive, in the integral sense of the word. Thomas is the part of the Being who is related with the intimate sense of comprehension.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Self-discovery is possible only through self-observation. Self-revelation exists in all selfdiscovery. Then, Thomas is cognition, comprehension, and infinite patience.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Identification

Unquestionably, all the parts of the Being are obliged to work in the inner Selfrealization of the Being. The work of Thomas is very patient, because he is obliged to provide that which is called comprehension.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The brothers of Thomas are eleven in number, and even more. They are all the autonomous and Self-conscious parts of the Being.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Each part of the Being gives its solution to the repentance of the Soul. However, only Thomas gives the last word.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

All of that which Thomas knows has been received from the Intimate Christ.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The Thomas that exists within each one of us places his mind in the hands of the Intimate Christ, and only accepts the Intimate Christ. The Gospel of Thomas is marvelous. Whosoever places his mind in the hands of the Intimate Christ and accepts only the Intimate Christ marches on the Path of the Final Liberation. The demons of the mind will never defeat him.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in The Mind

Thomas, in fact, is not comprehended. Thomas is despised and even condemned by many. He is judged unjustly as being incredulous and sceptical for the mere fact that he does not accept any thing that does not come directly from the Intimate Christ.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The abridgement or synthetic summum of the doctrine of Thomas can be summarized as this: “Do not depend on ideals or foreign concepts because the real wisdom is within oneself.”

XVIIMatthew is the Apostle of pure science

Matthew is the part related with pure science, which he calls the science of the Being. He says little about him, and all of it says the same: the Intimate Christ teaches Matthew and lights his way.

Matthew is one of the autonomous and independent parts of our own Being, the part that is related with pure science. Pure science is the science of the Being. Distinguish between the science of Christ and the science of the Antichrist.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Matthew, according to science, always says terribly divine things. Certainly, Matthew is the Apostle of pure science.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Our own Matthew, the interior Matthew, is what is important for ourselves.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The Intimate Christ teaches Matthew.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The Wisdom of the Intimate Christ illuminates Matthew.

XVIIIThe three witnesses of the things of the Kingdom of Heaven

Philip, Thomas and Matthew work together as the scribes of the Intimate Christ. They write what he says and does, and they can see and hear the things of the Lord.

Philip, Thomas and Matthew, these three Apostles within ourselves obey the orders of the First Mystery and write the discourses of the Intimate Christ.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Besides writing all of that which the Intimate Christ says, sees, and does, the three parts of the Being, Philip, Thomas and Matthew, also have the power to see and hear the things of the Lord.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Philip, Thomas and Matthew are the three witnesses of the things of the Kingdom of Heaven.

XIXPhilip, the Apostle of Jesus, exists within our own selves, here and now

Each of us has an inner Philip, who teaches us to leave the physical body consciously and even to carry the body into the Jinn state. The section ends with his instructions for asking Philip to do this.

Philip, the Apostle of Jesus, exists within our own selves, here and now.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The historical Philip is one, yet the intimate Philip is another. Each one of us has his inner Philip.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Philip, within each human being, is one of the Self-conscious parts of our own Being. Philip must teach the Initiate how to consciously travel outside of the physical body. Philip must practically teach the Initiate to place the physical body into the superior dimensions, in order to travel within the hyperspace.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in The Keys of Astral Travel

Philip within ourselves has great wisdom, love, and power.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Philip possesses luminous powers in order to understand.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Philip assists the invoker and takes him out in his astral body.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in The Keys of Astral Travel

A practice

There exists a clue in order to invoke Philip: “To the little heaven, Philip.” This is the clue. The mystic must go to sleep while concentrating on Philip. The mystic must submerge himself into meditation while invoking Philip. The mystic must arise from the bed when he feels that his body is in the state of lassitude and he must advance while invoking Philip.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in The Keys of Astral Travel

A practice

These types of invocations are performed when we place ourselves in normal sleep. Philip can also take the invoker with his physical body in Jinn state. The key of the invocation is: “To the little heaven Philip.” Repeat this phrase thousands of times.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in The Keys of Astral Travel

A practice

If we wish to take the physical body, we pray to Philip for this service.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in The Keys of Astral Travel

If you wish to take only the astral body, you pray to Philip for this service.

XXJohn, within ourselves, is the Verb, the Word

Two Johns live in us. John the Evangelist is the Word, the Army of the Voice; John the Baptizer is the part every initiate meets in Eden, who prepares the way for the Intimate Christ.

The great IAO is the power from the Super-Man. The minor IAO is the power from Man. The Inner John is inside each one of us, here and now.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

John, within ourselves, is the Verb, the Word, an autonomous and Self-conscious part of our own Being.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

I-E-O-U-A-N, Jeouan, John, is the Word, the Army of the Voice, the collective Host of the Creator Elohim.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

John, the Virgin, the Verb, rules in the Kingdom of the Light.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Every Initiate must encounter the part of his Being, which is called John the Baptizer. The encounter with John always takes place in the Second Initiation of the Fire. The encounter with John always takes place in Eden.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The historic John the Baptizer allegorizes the Interior John the Baptizer within each one of us.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

John is the precursor who prepares the path to our Intimate Christ.

XXIJames is the Mercury within each one of us

The interior James is the blessed Master of the Great Work. The Father teaches us alchemy through him, and he carries the Apocalypse in his hand.

Within the interior of our Being, James is the blessed Master of the Great Work. Each one of the Twelve has come to the world in order to help humanity.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

James is the Mercury within each one of us. The Mercury of the Secret Philosophy is the very foundation of the Great Work.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

We, the Gnostics are especially interested in our Interior James. Our Interior James is one of the autonomous and Self-conscious parts of our own Being. The blessed Master of the Great Work is our Mercury.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Therefore, James is one of the autonomous and Self-conscious parts of our own Being. ‘James-Mercury’ is found intimately related with the transmutatory scie nce of YesodMercury. The fundamental book of the Great Work, which James carries in his hands, is the Apocalypse (Revelation).

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Only the Father of all the Lights, the Intimate Father within each one of us, can illuminate us with wisdom through James.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The Father of the Lights teaches us the science of the Great Work through James. The Apostle James, with his pumpkin hat and a star formed with a seashell on his forehead, is something profoundly significant. We know very well that the Holy Water was carried in a pumpkin in the Middle Ages. James’s staff, decorated with certain ornament that makes it look like the Caduceus of Mercury, invites us to reflect. James carried the book of the Great Work, which is Saint John’s The Apocalypse in his hand, which is only understood by the Alc hemist. The universal Epistle of the Apostle James is a fundamental knowledge of the Great Work.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

All the Invisibles and all the Gods within ourselves, and all the Rulers from the Thirteenth Aeon and from the Twelfth Aeon, bow in the presence of James.

XXIIMary, the Woman-Serpent, receives the teaching of Jesus

Mary, Marah, is an autonomous and self-conscious part of our Being, and inside us she questions the Intimate Christ and takes in his teaching. Magdalene appears only once, receiving the Mysteries at the feet of the Lord.

Mary is the daughter of Her Son, Her Lord and Saviour. Mary, Marah, the WomanSerpent, is an autonomous and Self-conscious part of our own Being.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Marah, Ram-Io, Isis, Tonantzin, etc., is a variation of our own Being, but a derivative. Therefore, Marah, Diana, Isis, is our Divine Mother Kundalini, an autonomous and Selfconscious part of our Being. Marah interrogates the Intimate Christ within us about Pistis Sophia.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

This is how Mary, the Woman-Serpent, receives the teaching of Jesus.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Kundry always falls at the feet of Parsifal in order to manifest her love and obedience. The Intimate Jesus-Christ reveals the Mysteries to Magdalene.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Mary or Marah, the Woman-Serpent, reminds us of the Kingdom that the Intimate Christ promised to us. Those who know how to suffer with patience in their trials and work on themselves will inherit the kingdom.

XXIIIOnly Martha, humbleness, can proclaim the solution of the repentance of Sophia

He says little about these two, so they share a section. Martha is the humbleness in us, and Salome is the part that knows good from evil.

Martha, within ourselves, is that part of our Being who represents the virtue of humbleness.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Only Martha, humbleness, can proclaim the solution of the repentance of Sophia.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

“This then is now, therefore, my Lord, the solution of the eleventh repentance of Pistis Sophia. White thy light-power hath roused me, I have spoken it according to thy desire.”

Psalm LI specifies the functions of Salome within ourselves, here and now.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Salome as virtue and virtues, law and laws, knows very well why the mighty (one) boasts and vaunts himself in his wickedness.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Salome knows good from evil and evil from good.

XXIVIf one begs that part of the Being, then we will be helped

Each of us has our own Divine Mother, a part of our Being but a derivative one, and he counts her among the most important. Ask her, and she will reduce a defect to dust and set free the Consciousness that was trapped in it.

This is what the Guardian told me. I said goodbye to him. A few days passed by and I continued to reflect, trying to delve into this whole question. At last, as the saying goes, “a light turned on” in me. One of those days I remembered Devi Kundalini-Shakti, the Igneous Serpent of our magic powers, the personal Cosmic Mother of each one of us. I who had read so many books, from so many authors; truly, they all spoke of Maha-Kundalini, of the universal Cosmic Mother, but there was not one that spoke about our own individual Cosmic Mother. She exists! She is a variant of our own Being, but a derivative. Our Being has many parts, and one of the most important parts of our Being is our own individual Cosmic Mother. Devi Kundalini say the Hindustanis; Isis! exclaim the Egyptians; Diana! shout the Greeks; Tonantzin! say our ancestors of Anahuac.

The Fifth Gospel The Wonders Of Awakened Consciousness Public Lecture – 1975

Kundalini is the Divine Cosmic Mother. In religions, she has been represented as Mary, or as Tonantzin, Marah, Rhea, Cybele, Adonia, Isomberta, etc., the Cosmic Mother, the Divine Mother. She, in herself, is a part of our own Being, but a derivative.

The Fifth Gospel The False World Of Appearances Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976

If in our merely physical aspect we have a father and a mother, likewise, within the deepest part of our Being we also have our Father who is in secret, as well as our Divine Mother Kundalini. There are as many Fathers in Heaven as there are humans on Earth. God the Mother within our own intimacy is the feminine aspect of our Father who dwells in secret. He and She are certainly the two superior parts of our inner Being.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975

ISIS is one of the autonomous parts of our own Being though derived, she is the igneous Serpent of our magical powers, the KUNDALINI.

The Great Rebellion, 1975

Marah, therefore, is a sunderable part of our own particular Divine Glorian. Isis, Mary, is a derivative from our own Being.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

That fire was symbolized by our ancestors of Anahuac with the name of Tonantzin; that fire was symbolized by the Egyptians with the name of Isis, and by the Cretans with the name of Cybele, and by the Greeks with the name of Diana; and by the Christians with the name of Mary. That is, Stella Maris, which is, the Virgin of the Sea, a part of our own Being, but a derivative. Our Being has many parts and Stella Maris is one of those intimate parts of the Being. If one appeals to that part of the Being, if one begs that part of the Being, then we will be helped. That part of the Being can disintegrate, pulverize those two “I’s” of our example; she can reduce them to ashes, and the Consciousness, which was bottled up in each of them, is freed. That Consciousness is light, that light is Consciousness. You see, then, the intimate relationship that exists between light and Consciousness.

The Fifth Gospel The Organization Of Our Inner World Public Lecture – 1975 also in The Science of Meditation

Therefore, the Cosmic Mother is one of the divine parts of our own Being. I clarify, she is not an “I”. Distinguish between the “I” and the Being. The Being is divine, the Being is Spirit, and the Divine Mother, the Cosmic Mother, is one of the parts of the Being. The Hindustani call her Kundalini, the Divine Mother Kundalini. Of course, in a popular way, people do not understand this, and people symbolize her, they put her the name of Mary, Adonia, Isomberta, Rhea, etc., but each one carries that Cosmic Mother inside them. She is a fohatic power, she is a Sacred Fire. If one begs to that Cosmic Mother to disintegrate that psychological defect of jealousy, she will do so. It is written by the Hindustanis that Kundalini has the power to liberate one. So, if we beg Devi Kundalini to reduce that “I” of jealousy to cosmic dust, she will do it!

XXVThe Guardian Angel is one of those many isolated parts

The Lion of the Law, the Two Genii, the Karma Police, Justice and the Guardian Angel are all parts of our Being. Out of the body, the Gnostic can call on the Guardian Angel, and he will come.

Our own Being has many isolated parts. We are amazed when we behold the Lion of the Law, the Two Genii who take note of our good and bad deeds, the Karma Police — a part of our Being as well — the All Merciful, The Compassionate One, our united FatherMother, and the Guardian Angel. The flaming powers of the Guardian Angel are truly extraordinary, marvellous, and extremely divine. I know what the Guardian Angel is from purely Gnostic sources, secretly kept in monasteries of initiation. These bear no resemblance to common pseudoChristianity and pseudo-occultism, which are accessible to the general public. On reaching the very mysterious field of the history and the life of the Jinns, we have discovered not only the Chapultepec Temple in Mexico and the people from the Fourth Vertical, but also — to our amazement — the power of the Guardian Angel and his relationship with all this.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

From the black and horrifying sepulchral grave of the abyss, arise the diverse flaming parts of the Being. The Guardian Angel is one of those many isolated parts.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

The Lion of the Law exists within our own Being. It is one of the parts of the Being. In certain epochs, the Initiate is not afflicted by the Law of Karma. When Pistis Sophia rests, free from the lion-faced power, she feels happy.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The Angel of the Lord is another part of our own Being, in the tribunal of Truth-Justice. The tenebrous ones set snares for Pistis Sophia and they mock the Initiate.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

XXVIFive Helpers inside of the microcosmic human being

Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Michael and Samael rule in the solar system, and each also has a double inside us. The inner Gabriel and the inner Michael are not the planetary Archangels but parts of our own Being.

In the same manner, which the five Helpers, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Michael, and Samael, exist in the solar system, there also exists five Helpers inside of the microcosmic human being. They are five autonomous and independent parts of the Being.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The Five Helpers are related to those five impressions of the Pistis Sophia. Those Five Helpers are the Five Genii: Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Michael, Samael. They are the five, are they not? Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars; the Five Helpers. Those Five Helpers are represented in five parts of the Being which exist within man. Also that star represents the Five Trees or Five Orders of the Lords of Karma, understood?

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

It came to pass then, when Mary had heard the Saviour say these words, that she rejoiced with great joy and exulted exceedingly and said unto Jesus: “My Lord, by how much greatness then is the second Helper greater than the first Helper? By how much distance is he distant from him, or rather how many times more does he shine that the latter?”

The Second Helper and the First Helper are autonomous and Self-conscious parts of our own Being.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Yet, the Intimate Gabriel is something distinct. He is one of the autonomous and conscious parts of our own Being. The Intimate Gabriel governs our own psychological Moon.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

However, the secret defects are found in the hidden part of our own Psychological Moon. It is obvious that defects, psychic aggregates and perversities that we do not even remotely suspect, exist in the hidden part of our own Psychological Moon. Michael in the Sun is an ineffable Archangel. Yet, Michael within ourselves is different. Michael is an independent and conscious part of our own Being. Our readers must not forget the fortynine Fires. Obviously, the forty-nine Fires are the forty-nine independent and conscious parts of our own Being.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Michael and Gabriel are two Self-conscious and Self-independent parts of our own Being, skilled in the science of Alchemy.

XXVIIOne of the most elevated parts of our own Being

Yew, the Prince of the faces, gives us self-observation. Xolotl, the Nahua Lucifer, is a part too, and once he is whitened and joined to all the other parts he makes us something divine.

Yew is the illuminator, one of the Self-conscious parts of the Being. Yew develops the sense of the psychological self-observation within each one of us. Moreover, Yew can pursue and cast the red demo ns of Seth down into the Chaos. The power of the Lion of the Law is terrible and the tenebrous ones take advantage of the most difficult moments in order to embitter the life of the Initiates.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Yew is within the most unknowable realities of our own Being. Yew is the Prince of the faces, the Angel of the Anc ient of Days, one of the most elevated parts of our own Being. The Adept sings praises to the Ocean of the Great Light in the Thirteenth Aeon.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The Great Guide of the Midst is the Prince of the faces, the great Yew. All of this is within ourselves. They are the distinct parts of our own Being. The Rulers of the Aeons know very well the Prince of the faces, the splendid Yew. The marvelous Ruler who is in his region is a very excellent part of our own Being. He and the Virgin of Light and the twelve Potencies within our own Being have endowed us our celestial shape.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Yew, Prince of the faces, Guard of the veil of the Great Light, and the receiver of Light, and the great guides of the great Sabaoth, the Good, independent and Self-conscious, transcendental parts of our own Being, will be Kings with the First Saviour.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Our Lord Quetzalcoatl, the Mexican Christ, undoubtedly developed the highest part of his own Being. It should be noted that Xolotl, the Nahua Lucifer, is also one of our own Being’s isolated parts.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

Whoever whitens the Devil, returning him to his resplendent and primordial state; whoever dies in himself here and now, liberates the en chained Prometheus; and he rewards most highly, because he is a colossus with power over the Heavens, over the Earth and over the Infernos. Lucifer-Prometheus totally integrated with all the parts of our Being, makes us something different, distinct; an exotic creature, an Archangel, a terribly divine Power.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Ce-Acatl burned himself in the blazing fire. He sacrificed himself for Quetzalcoatl. Ce-Acatl is the other part of the Being of Quetzalcoatl, reincarnated in another body. Thus, the Christified Adept, who has his Twin, lives simultaneously in distinct times and places.

XXVIIIThe third type of relationships is the most important

We relate to our body, to the world, and to the parts of our own Being, and the third matters most. A Guru's task is to put us in touch with those parts; after that we learn to obey them and to take our guidance from them.

Within us, then, there are wonders. It has been said with complete clarity that there are three types of relationships: First: the relationship of one with his own body. If one does not know how to relate to his own body, he gets sick and dies. Second: the relationship with the external environment. If one does not know how to relate to his fellow men, conflicts and problems arise. But the third type of relationships is the most important: the relationship with each one of the parts of our own profound inner Being. One could not relate to the Seven or the Twelve or the Twenty-Four or the Four, etc., if one had not eliminated his psychic aggregates. When one eliminates his psychic aggregates, the seven minds are organized. When the seven minds are organized, one knows the seven truths, and when the seven truths are known, one knows the seven Sublime Lords that are within each one of us. But if one has not eliminated the Ego, one has not organized his seven minds either, one will not be able to get in contact with the seven Sublime Lords; so, he will have to live in ignorance, in error.

The Fifth Gospel The Seven Minds And The Seven Truths Third Chamber – Mexico City – July 13, 1977

Unquestionably, we need to establish correct relationships not only with our planetary body (physical body) and with the exterior world but also with each of the parts of our own Being.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975

If we do not know how to correctly relate ourselves with the distinct parts of the Being, then the true Illumination is more than impossible.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Whoever tears the seventh seal and receives the Baptism of Fire comes into contact with the different parts of the profound inner Being. Then, Enlightenment comes.

The Fifth Gospel The Seven Minds And The Seven Truths Third Chamber – Mexico City – July 13, 1977

It is marvelous, as well, to have intimate dialogue with the highest, diverse parts of our Being.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

And, finally, whoever wants to crystallize the First Force, which is the “Holy Affirmation”, will have to learn to tell the truth; will have to learn to obey the most elevated parts of his own Being. It is worth clarifying to you that in our depths live the most elevated parts of the Being, which are completely divine. Whoever learns to obey the most elevated parts of the Being will undoubtedly achieve, sooner or later, the crystallization of the First Force within himself, the “Holy Affirmation”. If someone manages to crystallize within himself –thanks to the three brains– the Three Main Forces of nature and of the cosmos, unquestionably, he will truly become a superman, in the most complete sense of the word.

The Fifth Gospel The Balance Of The Energetic Centers Conference given to Gnostic students

Undoubtedly, the personality in a passive state is receptive, it can receive the messages of the Being that come through the superior centers. Thus, in this way, little by little we learn to obey the orders of the superior parts of the Being. But one has to make the personality passive by eliminating the psychic aggregates of ninety-six laws.

The Fifth Gospel Intelligent Assimilation Of Impressions

Precisely, what is the work of a Guru? A Guru has to put one in contact with the different parts of one’s own Being, and also with the superior part of the Being which is of the Ancient of Centuries. When a Guru has fulfilled this mission, he withdraws, he no longer has any work to do with the disciple. But only from that point onward, from that moment, the disciple has to learn to depend on the knowledge he receives from the different parts of his own Being.

The Fifth Gospel The Seven Minds And The Seven Truths Third Chamber – Mexico City – July 13, 1977

If we discover the reserves of intelligence contained in the mind, we can liberate it. The reserves of intelligence are the different parts of the Being which orient us in the work related with the disintegration of the ego and with the liberation of the mind. The reserves of intelligence, contained in the mind, orient us in the work related with the liberation of the mind. The values of the Being constitute the intelligence. The reserves of intelligence are the diverse parts of the Being that guide and orient us in the psychological work related to the annihilation of the ego and the liberation of the mind.

XXIXWhoever wants to have good relations with all the parts of his Being

Pride, vanity and anger shut us off from the higher parts, and anyone who does not work on himself is a burden to them. The only way through is the Buddhist Annihilation.

Getting in contact with the Twenty-Four Emanations is not so easy. Whoever wants to have good relations with all the parts of his Being, whether it is with the Twenty-Four, or with the Twelve, or with the Seven, etc., has to first of all disintegrate the Ego, because the Ego is not admitted to the superior regions of the Being.

The Fifth Gospel The Seven Minds And The Seven Truths Third Chamber – Mexico City – July 13, 1977

We can establish correct relations with all and each one of the independent and conscious parts of our own Being, only by passing through the Buddhist Annihilation.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Greed

The Lord helps those who fight for the disintegration of the psychic aggregates of vanity. In no way could it be possible to keep correct relations with the Intimate Lord and with all the independent and Self-conscious parts of the Being, if we do not previously annihilate all the psychic aggregates of vanity.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Anger, pride, and vanity, impede the correct inner relations with the distinct, independent parts of the Being.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in Anger

This is serious because, in reality and in truth, pride will never allow us to have correct relations with the most elevated parts of the Being. When one cannot relate correctly with the most elevated parts of the Being, one cannot enjoy Enlightenment; he will have to live limited to books, to reading, listening to conferences, but he will never have the mystical experience of what is real.

The Fifth Gospel The Need To Crystallize The Soul Second Chamber – Mexico City – January 1977 also in Pride

The proud, the conceited, and the vain ones, can never wisely relate with the superior part of the Being.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Those who do not work on themselves are not only full of problems, but moreover and worst of all, they are a problem for the distinct, independent parts of the Being. Every person who has the ego, the ‘I’, damages, obstructs everywhere, hurts himself and hurts others.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Part Five — When all the parts are integrated

Part Five · 11 passages

XXXThe interior universe of each one of us has been completed

At the end, every part is joined to the Intimate Christ. Each sinks into another, receives the seal of its own Mystery and keeps its qualities, and together they govern with him in the Inheritance of the Light.

When the total reintegration of all the autonomous and Self-conscious parts of the Being has been achieved, then, the interior universe of each one of us has been completed. The Throne of the Intimate Christ is precisely in the Treasury of the Light.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

All of the forty-nine autonomous and Self-conscious parts of our Being are integrated in the Intimate Christ.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The transactional passing of all the Self-conscious and independent parts of our own Being, during the final integration, inwardly occurs. Each part sinks into another. Each part receives the Gnostic unction and the seal of its Mystery. Each one, which means, each part is suitable in its sphere and in its ministry.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Each part of the Being must complete his values for the integration.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Each one of the parts of the Being that is integrated will keep his qualities until the beginning of the new Mahamanvantara.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

In the final synthesis, all the parts of the Being emanate from the Thirteenth Aeon. The third triple power, filled with arrogance, wants to command over the Thirteen Aeons. When the third triple power emanates all of its millenary purifications from its power in itself, everything becomes different.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The rest of the distinct parts of the Being, each one according to His glory, integrated with the Intimate Christ, will govern with Him in the Inheritances of the Light. The Lord will govern over them all, in the inheritances of the Light.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Each one of them will be a King over all the autonomous and conscious parts of their own Being.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The Man Soul, the Man Being, will enter the region of the Inheritance of the Light before the other parts of the Being.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

All of them, each one of them, will abide in their respective sphere, and all of the repented Rulers will abide in their regions until the end of the Great Cosmic Day. Certainly, all of them are autonomous and Self-conscious parts of our own individual Being.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

It is ostensible that the integrated twelve and all the integrated parts of the Being make of the human being a God, a Super-Man.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

How this was made. All fifty-two books were extracted, 73,105 paragraphs and 2,157,671 words, and swept for every way he names the thing: the autonomous and self-conscious parts, the parts of the Being, the twelve Powers and the twelve Apostles within, the Cosmic Drama lived within, and each disciple named beside the words within, interior or part of our Being. That returned 479 candidate paragraphs in 25 books. Every one was read twice, by independent readers working from a written brief and from their slice alone. The two passes agreed on whether to print 96.0% of the time, and a third reader, who was not told what either had decided, settled the 20 they did not. 280 paragraphs were judged printable; they make 268 passages, and 227 are printed here.

One book carries it. He taught the parts of the Being in many books, but the disciples as parts within almost only in the last one, Pistis Sophia Unveiled (1983), which gives 186 of the 227 passages printed here. It prints the ancient text in an English translation of 1921 and comments on it in his own words. That translation is not his, and none of it is printed here as his. Where a passage of his opens with a line of the scripture he is explaining, that line stands above it in italics, marked as quoted.

He does not teach all twelve. Peter, Andrew, Thomas, Matthew, Philip, John and James each have their own teaching, and so do Mary, Mary Magdalene, Martha and Salome. Bartholomew, Simon and Thaddeus are named in the drama, but he does not say what they are within us, so no section is made for them. Judas stands here only as one of the twelve playing his part; as the ego he is the subject of The Three Traitors. The Divine Mother and the Intimate Christ stand at the edge of this work on purpose: each is a larger subject than this whole booklet, and each is printed here only where he names them among the parts.

A teaching booklet. Six passages are practices, five of them Philip's. The rest is teaching, and it is left that way rather than dressed up as something to do.

Kept short on purpose. Pistis Sophia Unveiled returns to each disciple many times, often in the same words. 41 printable passages were set aside when the sections were made, each because another passage in the work says the same thing more fully, and none of them a practice.

What was done to his words. Nothing was paraphrased. Three scanner faults were mended, and the record keeps each one: Be ing, Invisjbles, and a stray footnote number after Church in The Three Mountains. Words the compositor broke at a line end were closed up only where the joined word is one the books themselves use. And five passages were cut back by hand, because the scanner had glued a chapter heading or a summary of the scripture onto the end of one of his paragraphs.

19 passages also stand in a finished work, most of them in The Three Traitors, The Keys of Astral Travel and The Science of Meditation, and each is marked where it stands.

The first work of a new family. The egos ask what is dissolved; the psychology asks how the machine runs; this asks what is there when it stops. It wears its own ground, a lilac mist, with a celestial rule outside and a gold hairline within.
