The Tree of Life · an explorer
Malkuth. The entire universe, Mary or Virgo. Nature. These ten sephiroths live within our Being, and are our solar system. The Tarot is intimately related with esoteric Astrology and with initiation.

His practice
We, the Gnostics, should fertilize our seminal atoms with the solar fires so that from those atoms the Golden Child of sexual alchemy, the Christ I, the God Child of Bethlehem will be born. Only in this way can we liberate ourselves from the cosmos and be born in the Uncreated Light, where there exists only the happiness of Life free in its movement.
Its parts
The Ain Soph Aur becomes the exterior circle.
In the Absolute we neither have a mind nor an individual consciousness.
God is That...That...That...
The Uncreated Light is distinct from the intellect, as water is from oil.
56. Each exhalation of the Absolute is a Cosmic Day and each inhalation of the Absolute is a Cosmic Night.
In it there does not exist any mechanical principle, it is governed by the One Law.
In the sacred absolute sun, our universe exists as an integral, unitotal and complete whole.
Each one of us has in that radiant sphere of light and joy, his Divine Prototype...
Each one has his Ain Soph; this is a star which shines in infinite space, beyond the Nine Heavens.
A strange evolution that not even the Gods or the human beings know about exists within the AIN SOPH.
In the Ain Soph only the unity of life reigns.
Paranishpanna (absolute happiness) without Paramartha (awake consciousness) is not happiness.
Behind the Unmanifested Prakriti is the Unmanifested Absolute.
They die to the universe and are born to the Absolute.
This is because successive mystical exaltations also exist within the Absolute, which are far beyond any comprehension for us.
The goal of our studies is to enter the Absolute.
Beyond the Ain
His practices
KETHER: The Ancient of Days, the hidden of the hidden, the good of the good. He has thirty-one ringlets, and his beard has thirteen curls. Thirteen symbolises the Verb, the Word. About him wonders have been spoken. By means of Samadhi (ecstasy) one may meet with him in order to receive his commands. He is infinite mercy, complete wisdom. CHOCHMAH: The Christ, Love. The Christ awaits the day that the disciple will work in the Ninth Sphere, and prepares him with infinite love. The instructor of the world is Love.
The Ancient of Days dwells in the world of Kether. The chief of that world is the angel Metraton. This angel was the prophet Enoch. With the help of this angel, while in a very profound meditation, we can enter into the world of Kether. The disciple who wants to penetrate into Kether will beg the angel Metraton during his states of profound meditation and he will be assisted.
Its parts
The First Mystery is Kether, the Ancient of Days.
This is the mathematical point in immense, infinite unalterable space.
Kether is the Ancient of Days and each one of you is, in essence, a blessed Ancient of Days.
Kether, Chochmah and Binah are the Trimurti and Perfection, are the Divine Triangle, the Beloved Father, the most adored Son, and the very wise Holy Spirit.
From Ain Soph the Super-divine Atom emanates Kether, Chochmah and Binah, the Crown of Life, the resplendent Dragon of Wisdom.
From the world of the Ancient of Days, we see the human multitudes as leaves hurled by the wind.
This is how we become the Celestial Jerusalem.
Its parts
The Second Logos Chochmah, is Love, the Agnus Dei, the Sacrificial Lamb.
The mysteries of Chokmah correspond to the ninth hour.
In the World of the Lord, we are all absolutely ONE!
In the world of the Logos, diversity is unity.
Later, the Second Logos is born within the superior existential bodies of the Being in order to labor in the Great Work of the Father.
This triangle is also denominated the Triangle of the Son.
In Kabbalah, we would say that the secret Jesus-Christ emerges from Chokmah, and thus, He appears in the Tree of Life.
Its parts
Although those three personages are triune, essentially they are only one, individual, which is the Father.
I do not wish to say that the Holy Spirit is not governed by Saturn, that a relationship does not exist between them, because it does.
The creative energy of the Third Logos is that primary intelligence of Nature that unites the spermatozoon with the ovum.
Without him, she remains still, and with him, she comes to light, reverberates, swells.
This assertion is absolutely false, because the Holy Spirit is really masculine; it is only upon dividing into the Divine Mother that the perfect pair is formed.
Undoubtedly, every human has his white and ineffable Dove.
Comprehension, in itself, does not belong to the mind.
Its parts
From the union of He and She arises perfect Tantric Knowledge, with which we may Self-Realise internally in all of the levels of the Being.
When the Initiate is not working with Daath, the Mystery that is below the Thirteenth Aeon, then the Chalice of the Temple shines with its golden cover.
His practices
In order to become fused with Atman the following experience is necessary: to project the Astral body, abandoning the Physical body. One then sheds the Astral body by ordering it “leave me”; this requires will. The Astral body leaves via the spinal column, and we are left in the world of the Mind. Later one sheds the Mental body, ordering it: “Mental body, leave me”. This is realised by an act of will, and one is left with the Causal body, which one also orders to leave; this also requires a great effort. The body of Conscious Will functions better, and one commands it to leave and to abandon the 33 vertebra, the Buddhic or Intuitional body thus remaining; which is very obedient. It also is commanded to leave, one thus remaining in the world of Chesed, of Atman, the Ineffable. In the world of Atman one feels a Complete Man. Here, the intellectual animal is not a Man. The Initiate feels filled with an immense plentitude. There, in that world he is a “Real Man” in the most objective sense.
Aun mani padme jum; this mantram is esoterically pronounced like this: “Om masi padme yom”, (prolonging the sound of each letter, and syllabicating). The meaning of this mantram is: “Oh my God in me!” This mantram should be vocalized with the heart in profound meditation, adoring the “Inner Being”, rendering cult to the “Inner Being”, because the Inner Being is essentially the soul of our father incarnated in us, our divine individuality in which we need to absorb ourselves to enter that infinite and undescribable happiness of Nirvana, where neither suffering, tears, nor pain exist.
The Gnostic knows how to enter into Nirvana by utilizing the powers of his Intimate. When the Gnostic wants to visit Nirvana he does the following: First, he leaves his physical body and departs in his astral body. Second, when he is already out of his physical body, then he prays to his Intimate as follows: “Father of mine, take me to Nirvana.” Then, the Intimate transports the soul of the Gnostic towards the ineffable joys of Nirvana.
Its parts
He who has direct experience of Chesed well knows however, that Chesed is warlike.
If the student is not prepared he becomes disappointed, because he finds himself in a world of very crude reality; this is the world of mathematics.
There, the drop has united within the ocean, and the ocean within the drop.
The rhythms of fire are the foundation of the exquisite harmonies of the cosmic Diapason.
The Nirvanis do not possess any of the four bodies of sin, called: physical, etheric, astral and mental.
My child, you have built a majestic temple in the Astral world and in the Mental world, but in the world of Nirvana, you possess only a tiny, little chapel.
The robe of the Dharmasayas is woven with the sexual fires.
For us inhabitants of the Nirvana the triumphs are less, and because of this we suffer less.
as long as there is a single tear in the human eyes, as long as there is a single suffering heart, we refuse to accept happiness.
His practice
The world of intuition is the world of mathematics. The student that wants to elevate himself to the world of intuition must be a mathematician or at least must have notions of arithmetic. Mathematical formulas grant us Intuitive Knowledge. The student must concentrate himself on a mathematical formula and profoundly meditate on it. Afterwards, he must empty the mind and make it completely blank, then simply wait for the Inner Being to teach the contained concept which is enclosed in the mathematical formula. For example: before Kepler publicly announced his famous principle that, “The square of the period of revolution of a planet varies directly as the distance from the sun cubed,” that formula already existed; it was contained in the solar system, even when the wise did not know it. The student can mentally concentrate himself on that formula. He must empty his mind, become drowsy. With his mind completely blank he must wait for his own inner Being to reveal to him all of the marvelous secrets which are contained in the formula of Kepler. The formula of Newton concerning universal gravity can also serve us in order to exercise ourselves in the Initiation. This formula is the following: “The force between two objects varies directly with each of the masses and inversely with the square of the distance between them.” If the student practices with tenacity and supreme patience, his own inner Being will teach or instruct him in the Great Work. Then he will study at the feet of the Master and he will elevate himself to Intuitive Knowledge.
Its parts
It continues with Geburah, the Rigor of the Law, the fifth Sephiroth, the Buddhi, the Divine Soul which is feminine.
Geburah is the rigor of the Law; it is shown with meridian clarity.
a virtue, however good it may be, when it is out of place, it becomes pernicious, something bad.
Thus in Geburah we find the rigour of the Law, but we also find the nobility of the Lion
In the world of Intuition, we see the great cosmic theater and we are the spectators.
Then I regained my place among those divine creatures, a glorious state of consciousness that I had lost in days of old.
His practices
Spirits of Malchuth, lead me betwixt the two pillars upon which rests the whole edifice of the Temple! Angels of Netsach and Hod, establish me upon the cubic stone of Jesod! Oh Gedulael! Oh Geburael! Oh Tiphereth!
If we make a kabalistic addition of the figures of Arcanum 15, the Constellation of the Whale, we will have the following result: 1 + 5 = 6. Six in the Tarot is the Arcanum of the Lover; the man between virtue and passion. Learn to polarise ourselves wisely with Arcanum 6 and we will have overcome the terrible 15 of the Constellation of the Whale. Remember dear reader that in the middle of the chest you have a very special magnetic centre which captures the waves of light and glory which come from your Human Soul; She is Tiphereth, Arcanum 6 of the Tarot. Listen to Her, obey the commands which arise from Her. Act in accordance with those intimate impulses; work in the Forge of Cyclops when this is what She wishes. If you learn to obey you will not perish in the belly of the whale.
First position: Body completely relaxed in the position of a corpse, heels together, straight arms touching the sides of the body. Second position: Body completely relaxed in the position of a corpse, heels together, hands in the position found on the stelas. The fleshy part of the finger tips at the center of the chest on the region of Tiphereth, the human soul. Enter into the very depth of the soul.
Ancient magicians called upon the Undines from the rivers and lakes, or the Genii of the clouds, or the Nereids of the boisterous ocean. They exclaimed with a great voice, pronouncing the following mantras, Veya! Vallala! Veyala! Heyala! Veya! Therefore, Tlaloc is a God, a Deva from the Causal plane. You can also invoke him, but you must do it with faith and reverence.
When fire spreads and burns, threatening lives, houses, and estates, let Huehueteotl (the old god of fire) be the object of your concentration, meditation and supplication. Hebrew Kabalists and Rabbis know well that the mantra of the Causal World was, is, and will always be, ALOAH VA DAATH. Meditating on such words is the same as knocking at the marvellous doors of the Great Temple.
Its parts
That Soul suffers and is the very human part within us — that is — Tiphereth, which coincides with the causal.
Remember dear reader that in the middle of the chest you have a very special magnetic centre which captures the waves of light and glory which come from your Human Soul
In this case my body became the stable where the Child was born, where he came into the world.
The world of Natural Causes is like an ocean without limits and shores.
In that sublime region the Music of the Spheres is heard, which is based in the three measures of Mahavan and Chotavan which maintain the universe within its rhythm.
Those ineffable and superbly divine gods are perfect men in the strictest sense of the word.
With the birth of the true causal vehicle, we acquire immortality in the world of 6 laws (the causal world or that of Venus).
The divine face with the crown of thorns is the living symbol of the Christ-Will, which is total sacrifice in favor of poor suffering humanity
A certain delicious tragic symphony resonated among the deep depths of the Heaven of Venus.

Spirits of Malchuth, lead me betwixt the two pillars upon which rests the whole edifice of the Temple! Angels of Netsach and Hod, establish me upon the cubic stone of Jesod! Oh Gedulael! Oh Geburael! Oh Tiphereth!
The Aztec God Xochipilli, god of happiness, music and dance, is found in Netzah. Xochipilli, the Aztec God, always does his negotiations with the Kabbalistic number Ten; this is the ‘Wheel of fortune, the ‘Wheel of reincarnations and karma, the terrific Wheel of retribution. Whosoever wants to invoke this Master must first of all wash their hands with pure water. Xochipilli must be invoked in the time between 10:00 p.m. of Friday and 2:00 a.m. of Saturday. Nothing is given free onto us and Xochipilli charges for any service that we might ask. Whosoever has funds can pay for any service, then pays and gets anything. Yet, the one who has no funds has to suffer the consequences. Perform good deeds so that you can have funds for payments. This is how Xochipilli can perform miracles and marvels for you. Good deeds are symbolized in the superior worlds by mysterious jewels and coins. So, these types of jewels and coins are the currency that you need in order to pay for the services that you might ask of Xochipilli. Xochipilli does not perform anything for free; everything has a price. Xochipilli can make the ‘Wheel of retribution spin on your behalf. You may resolve all your problems with this Aztec God, but he charges for any type of service because he cannot violate the Law. You must never ask to Xochipilli to perform anything evil because he is a Master of the light. Remember that this Deity is a very pure Angel from Netzah, the world of the mind. ‘When an inferior law is transcended by a superior law, the superior law washes away the inferior law. This is how one works with White Magic and one gets everything without the necessity of using the force of thought to violate the free will of people. If you are suffering, if you have some problem that you cannot resolve, this is a matter of karma; go to the aid of Xochipilli so that he can help you to resolve that problem that is the cause of your suffering. Yet, you have to pay to Xochipilli with the funds of good deeds; if you do not have funds to pay to Xochipilli, then Xochipilli cannot perform your requested service. Nonetheless, a remedy exists: ask a credit to Xochipilli, this is the way; then the outcome will be marvellous. Remember that any type of credit must be paid with good deeds. If you do not pay the credit, then they will collect it from you with intense grief. This is the Law. Perform good deeds so that you can pay your debts.
On the other hand, all those who traverse the Fourth Path (the world of the Mind), should be on the lookout for the “Password,” which will allow them to enter the Temples of the Mental Plane. This Word is: ADACRIPTO The cardinal numbers, ONE, TWO, THREE are expressed, Eba, Doba, Dusna. And in those Three Principles of the Shining Dragon of Wisdom is based all the exercise of Theurgy.
Its parts
Because undoubtedly in the Kingdoms of the Mind, of the Astral, and even of the Kliphos or Infernal worlds is where one exercises High Magic.
That Angel is precious; his countenance is rosy as the dawn and his hair look as if it were a golden cascade.
In the name of truth, we have to say that the world of the mind is the repository of all past, present and future mental forms.
Evilness is so delicate and subtle in the plane of cosmic understanding that in reality a lot of intuition is needed in order not to be cheated by the demons of the Mental World.
The psychological “I” intervenes in these things, stealing the erotic image for itself, in order to reproduce it in the mental plane.
The Solar Mental is a body of perfection which eats, drinks, assimilates, digests, has its special foods, its nutrition, its development.
The encounter with the Guardian of the Threshold in the plane of the mind is even more frighteningly horrible than in the astral plane.
Its parts
Without doubt, in Netzach we can find Hermetic Magic and in Hod, Natural Magic.
The messages which descend from the world of Pure Spirit become symbolic in the astral plane.
But it would be a very subjective entry, it would not have the same objectivity as when the second body has been created.
As the smoke of the chimney is mixed with the atmosphere without confusion, in the same way these two worlds, astral and physical, are mixed and they are interpenetrated without confusion.
In these regions of limitless happiness the disincarnate live happily until their time runs out.
The human mind conceives of eternity as the protraction of time in a straight line—nothing could be more mistaken than this concept, because eternity is the fifth dimension.
His practice
Spirits of Malchuth, lead me betwixt the two pillars upon which rests the whole edifice of the Temple! Angels of Netsach and Hod, establish me upon the cubic stone of Jesod! Oh Gedulael! Oh Geburael! Oh Tiphereth!
Its parts
It is through that sexual force that life arises, that the human body arises, and all of the organisms which have life.
These two columns of the Temple are maintained upon the Cubical Stone of Jesod. That cubical stone serves as a foundation of the Kingdom of Malchuth.
Therefore, it is dumb to want to convert ourselves into a Column of the Temple of the Living God, without previously having chiseled the Brute Stone.
The Cubical Stone of Jesod, located in the creative organs is clearly that metallic soul which results from sexual transmutations.
We came out of Eden through the doors of sex and it is only through those doors that we can enter Eden.
Thus, my dear friends, the fourth dimension is a fact; we have been told that it is time.
The Elysian Fields, the Promised Land where the rivers of pure water of life flow with milk and honey is, precisely, the fourth dimension of our planet Earth.
His practice
Spirits of Malchuth, lead me betwixt the two pillars upon which rests the whole edifice of the Temple!
Its parts
This is how, by means of salt, the four elemental kingdoms can condense themselves in a physical form.
When the Ancient of Days has realised the 10 Sephiroth within Himself, He is transformed into Adam-Kadmon, the Celestial Man.
The Kingdom of Malchuth is really a terrible filter. The refuse of the filter is the common place, and is swallowed by the abyss.
When we improve the quality of representations, the quality of perceptions also improves and we enter the superior dimensions of space where the three-dimensional world no longer exists, remaining in our memory only as a dream.
Indeed, the World is triple: the World, the Underworld and the Supra-World exist.
Each atom of our world of 48 laws contains within itself 48 atoms of the Absolute.
To liberate ourselves from the world of the forty-eight laws, without having created the Superior Existential Bodies of the Being, is impossible.
His practices
18. We must descend to the Abyss many times and ascend again, to search for the Red and Green Lions. 19. Carnal passion is the door to enter into the Abyss.
If Christ disguises Himself as the devil in order to descend into the Abyss and save us, why do not we imitate His example? The devil is whitewashed and transformed into a Maker of Light, that is, into Lucifer; you know this. I repeat, the Initiate must learn how to move himself upon his two legs. The Initiate must learn how to disguise himself and move himself among the devils, not only in the Averno but also here in this world in which we live.
Every Initiate must learn how to dim his light when he descends to the Infernal Worlds. If the Initiate who descends to the infernal worlds does not learn how to dim his interior light, he will scare the demons. Then, he cannot help the lost ones. The Initiates must learn how to live serenely and gently within the terrors of the Abyss and the night.
Its parts
The Averno is the shadow of light.
The Avitchi is a lake burning with the fire of passion.
Therefore, the nine infernal Dantestic circles are within us, here and now.
Hell is not a place filled with fire; Hell is the Underworld.
It is obvious that the infernal worlds are infrasexual.
These sighs are the outcome of grief without torment.
In the ninth circle is the well of the universe, the center of the planetary gravity.
We must never forget that Cerberus, the guard-dog of the Infernos, was affectionate to those who entered, and mercilessly devoured those who tried to leave.
We are among those who have descended into the infernal worlds.
To become beast, plant and stone again inside the infernal worlds… is indeed more bitter than bile.
It is an extra help given to the lost ones.
From the abyss we can only come out by means of Initiation.
One only descends to the Abyss by order of the Ancient of Days, and it will be in order to ascend.
Within the Averno, the pitiful Aeneas found Dido the Queen who loved him and he was able to embrace his deceased father.
At times, the Initiate must remain in the abyss for a lengthy period of time, working in the super-obscurity and in the august silence of the Wise.
May the terrors of the Abyss not confuse the Wise.
