Bøger af Samael Aun Weor

For thousands of years the great spiritual adepts from all corners of the globe have guarded the secret teachings enclosed in this book. Now, we are able to receive these teachings so that we too may be able to cultivate the high spiritual levels that have been lost for ages. The Divine Science is the systematic and exact process of the discovery of the mystical capabilities of the human soul. In all ancient religions and cultures the wise men and women used sacred words, the intonations of mantras, and the use of the magical art of Theurgy (mysticism or white magic). This book is filled with direct instruction and practices that anyone can use in order to discover the depth of authentic mysticism.

The health and vitality of the physical body is essential for anyone who aspires towards the awakening of the consciousness. Initiated students of Tantric traditions are taught exercises called Yantra Yoga to promote health and fortitude needed for their rigorous self-development. Samael Aun Weor, a reincarnated lama from the Sacred Order of Tibet, teaches in this book a synthesised and refined sequence of Yantric exercises with profound benefits that anyone can experience. "I tell you, brothers and sisters, that we, the Gnostics, have precise methods in order to rejuvenate the organism and cure all sicknesses. It is unquestionable that we can learn how to heal ourselves. Each one of us can be converted into our own physician by learning how to heal ourselves without the necessity of "medicine" - lo and behold, the most beloved ideal. It is urgent to preserve the physical body in perfect health for many years so that we can use this precious physical vehicle for the realisation of our Inner Self." - Samael Aun Weor

Unveil the secret knowledge protected by the ancient sages. See for yourself how all religions can be traced back to the same source. Marvel at the similitudes among all of our most treasured mystical traditions, and learn how to put them into practical use today. Whatever your cultural or religious background, here you will discover how to have conscious experiences of the Reality towards which all religions point. All religions are precious pearls on the golden string of divinity. - Samael Aun Weor The sacred principles upon which every spiritual tradition is based are beautifully symbolized in the ancient Tarot of the Egyptians. The tradition of Moses and Kabbalah was deeply inspired by Egyptian mysticism, and reveal another facet of the primeval structures from which all religions emerge. By studying these two ancient traditions side by side, you will be inspired and amazed by their beauty and undeniable unity. More importantly, you will understand how to put these universal, divine principles to work in your own spiritual development. Packed with practical exercises and guidance, this is a book for action: Initiation, which is the ascension of the human soul towards its own perfection. "Initiation is life itself, intensely lived, with rectitude and with love." - Samael Aun Weor

This practical manual gives hundreds of techniques and practices to awaken consciousness, perform healing for oneself and others and return to the core medical knowledge of the ages. This work features treatments for an incredible variety of illnesses and conditions, such as cancer, asthma, the common cold and leprosy.In ancient times, only the wisest were trusted with medical knowledge, for it bears power over life and death. The remedies and methods of those seers may have been abandoned by modern civilisation, but they have been preserved and retain their power. Throughout all of our most sacred traditions, it is known that Nature is the source for all genuine medicine. The teachings of Paracelsus, Galen, Tibetan tantras and others all agree that a properly prepared individual can use Nature to cure any illness. Samael Aun Weor, founder of the International Gnostic Movement and author of more than sixty books, lived for many years in close contact with the mysterious natives of the Sierra Nevada of South America. He and his wife Litelantes compiled and verified the knowledge they had been given by the priests and doctors of that region, resulting in this book ESOTERIC MEDICINE AND PRACTICAL MAGIC.

What was hidden for almost two thousand years is finally revealed. Everyone has heard of symbols from the Revelation or Apocalypse of John, such as the Antichrist, the number 666, Armageddon, the end of days, the Rapture, the Second Coming, the four horsemen, and more. For centuries, Revelation has remained the most mysterious and interesting scripture of Christianity, filled with haunting imagery, powerful dramatic events, and frightening warnings for humanity, yet its true meanings were never permitted to be be revealed. John, an initiate of secret, esoteric Christianity, placed these cryptic symbols in Revelation as a "time capsule" to be opened on a future day, and in spite of countless theories and beliefs, the secrets of Revelation have been preserved behind their arcane language, awaiting the moment when they are most needed by humanity. That day has arrived. For the first time, the hidden secrets of Revelation are made clear and accessible to anyone. In The Aquarian Message, Samael Aun Weor shows how everything in Revelation and Christianity is based on Kabbalah (of which Jesus was a master), esoteric Christianity, alchemy, Tarot, and other ancient sciences. In this book you will discover that every symbol in Revelation is about you, your spiritual state, and the future it is taking you towards. You will discover how through deep personal change you can escape suffering and the approaching cataclysms, and instead enter into a superior level of experience. What John hid in Revelation was not something to believe, but something to experience for oneself. Now, with the practical teachings given in The Aquarian Message, you can. "We have studied the verses of the book of Revelation (Apocalypse) in the Superior Worlds. We give the result of our investigations in this book. Much has been said and written about the Apocalypse. However, only intellectual speculations have been made and the words of various authorities have been repeated. The present work is the result of tremendous esoteric investigations that were patiently performed by us in the Superior Worlds. We have found the Apocalypse to be divided into three parts: the first we have entitled "The Son of Man," the second "The Sealed Book" and the third "The New Jerusalem." The first part teaches the Path of the Razor's Edge. The second is related with the times of the end. The third tells us of the future earth. This is a book of practical christification. This is a book of transcendental esotericism and it is absolutely practical." -Samael Aun Weor

Savoir voyager consciemment dans le plan astral, c'est savoir éveiller sa Conscience à de nouvelles réalités authentiques, afin de sortir de l'état de rêverie, commun à toute l'humanité actuelle. Ce recueil de pratiques contient 25 clés permettant à tout étudiant sincère et résolu, d'y parvenir. Note: Ce livre n'est pas un livre réalisé par Samaël Aun Weor, mais il est une compilation des plus importants chapitres qu'il a donné dans ses oeuvres sur le thème du voyage astral. L'éditeur a regroupé ces chapitres, et a ajouté des éléments propres pour structurer l'ensemble en un guide pratique. Extrait: Nous dédions ce cours d'éducation ésotérique à l'humanité et tout spécialement à tous les désillusionnés des écoles, religions, loges et sectes; ce cours d'éducation intime et de véritable savoir pratique s'adresse à eux. Les écoles ont déjà donné tout ce qu'elles avaient à donner; les centres de Sagesse se sont convertis en maisons de commerce, chacune avec son petit tyran qui défend à ses adeptes et sympathisants de partir à la recherche de la Connaissance; ici les interdictions, là les excommunications et les menaces, et on remet toujours au lendemain la quête du véritable savoir, aveuglant les gens avec des futilités, le mot de passe, l'amulette salvatrice, le nec-plus-ultra dessecrets qu'aucune autre école ne possède, et ces petits chefs cupides collectionnent avidement des suiveurs insensibleset fanatisés. En ce qui nous concerne, nous ne voulons pas d'idolâtres de maîtres, nous ne sommes pas intéressés à avoir dessuiveurs. Nous sommes des poteaux d'indication, aussi, qu'on ne s'agrippe pas à nous, car notre travail n'est pasprosélytique. Nous indiquons, avec logique et précision, le chemin à suivre, afin que chacun parvienne jusqu'à son Maître Interne, qui demeure en silence à l'intérieur de chacun de vous. Ce cours est pour tous les rebelles de toutes les écoles, pour ceux qui ne se soumettent pas servilement aux petitsmaîtres, pour les non-conformistes de toutes les croyances, pour ceux qui ont encore une dignité humaine et se respectent, pour ceux qui possèdent encore dans leur coeur une étincelle d'amour.

Voici les sept paroles que le Christ Jésus a prononcées sur la Croix: Mon Père, pardonne-leur, car ils ne savent ce qu'ils font.En vérité, je te le dis, aujourd'hui même tu seras avec moi dans le paradis.Femme, voici ton fils; et toi, voici ta mère.Mon Dieu, mon Dieu, pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné ?J'ai soif.Tout est consommé.Mon Père, entre tes mains je remets mon Esprit.Les sept paroles du Christ ne figurent pas toutes dans chacun des Évangiles; elles se trouvent disséminées dans les quatre récits évangéliques. Tout ce drame du Calvaire doit être vécu à l'intérieur du plan astral, lorsque le troisième degré de pouvoir du Feu a été complété. Les sept paroles correspondent aux sept degrés de pouvoir du Feu et aux sept langues de Feu ardent du Dragon de la Sagesse. Samaël Aun Weor (de son vrai nom Víctor Manuel Gómez Rodríguez), né le 6 mars 1917 à Bogota et décédé le 24 décembre 1977 à Mexico, est un occultiste, un ésotériste et un écrivain. ll affirme être l'Avatar de l'Ère du Verseau, celui qui est venu pour unifier les traditions ésotériques et religieuses de l'orient et de l'occident. Ne contredisant pas les enseignements du Christ Jésus, ou encore de Krishna et les autres Grands Maîtres des temps passés, il revivifie au contraire leurs Enseignements en éclaircissant ce qui fut jusqu'alors incompris, et en dévoilant ce qui était voilé. Dans une période critique de l'humanité, l'Avatar du Verseau est venu réconcilier toutes les nations sous un Enseignement Synthèse, permettant à quiconque de cheminer jusqu'à l'auto-réalisation intime de l'être.

Although the term Kundalini is associated with Indian mysticism, tantra, and yoga, the word refers to a living element in nature and is symbolized in all religions. In Judaism and Kabbalah, it is called Shekinah. In Christianity, it is the fire of the Pentecost that illuminated the apostles. In Buddhism it is known by many names, such as Candali. For thousands of years, many have wondered at the tales of that mysterious force and the spiritual powers it gives, yet the method to awaken it has been hidden, misunderstood, or sometimes, intentionally sabotaged. Some say it is dangerous, or can be awakened accidentally, but the Kundalini is not a blind or mechanical force. It is the Divine Mother Herself, the power or energy of divinity in motion. She cannot be tricked, fooled, or accidentally awakened. The Kundalini can only be developed through purity and love. Divine power must be earned. Now, like a refreshing spring breeze, Samael Aun Weor blows the obscurations and mistaken ideas away and reveals the sacred mysteries of our most ancient and holy science. With a firm foundation in scripture and practical knowledge, the method to awaken and develop the root energy of life is made clear and accessible to all. It is no longer necessary to theorize or debate: through the practice of the techniques in this book, one can know. "You will find terrific secrets within this book, secrets that never in the history of life were published." - Samael Aun Weor Formerly published in English as Kundalini Yoga, this new edition adds a prologue of four powerful lectures that prepare you to understand the main content: The Mysteries of the Fire by Samael Aun Weor. It also adds more than one hundred footnotes to explain important terms and concepts. It is richly illustrated, and includes a glossary and an index.

Originally published in Spanish as El Cristo Cosmico y la Semana Santa, El libro de la virgen del Carmen, Mensaje de navidad 1961-1962.--Title page verso.

Each of us was created through sex, and every day we are influenced by sex. Our hormones influence us continually, in our thinking, feeling, and body. Therefore, it is simple logic to recognize that a saint or holy person is a result of a upright, pure sexual life, while a criminal or a liar is the result of a degenerated, impure sexual life. The sexual energy of a saint fills their heart, mind, and body with pure thoughts, pure emotions, and vitalizing energy. The sexual energy of a criminal fills their heart, mind, and body with degenerated thoughts, emotions, and energy. Therefore, if we want a better life, we simply need to learn how to use our sexual energy in a better way. We can do so by understanding the connections between three sciences: sexology, endocrinology, and criminology. Sexology studies love, the most powerful force in human life. It inspires our greatest acts, sustains us in difficult times, gives us hope, inspiration, and purpose. But more than that, love is the power that turns the common person into a superhuman. The sexual energy - which fuels the love of a couple and creates children - is also the wellspring of the love expressed by the greatest human beings, such as Jesus, Buddha, Joan of Arc, etc. While it is well known that serious spiritual seekers preserve their sexual energy for spiritual purposes, science has largely ignored why. The preservation of the sexual energy (called chastity, tantra, alchemy, karezza, coitus interruptus) supercharges the endocrine system and the brain. On the other hand, the worst human beings are always sexual degenerates whose bodies and minds are decayed. Endocrinology studies the active agent of sex: our endocrine system, the incredible power of hormones. The hormones not only push us towards sexual activity, they also power the pineal and pituitary glands, which facilitate our ability to imagine, to "see" with our "mind's eye." For the suprasexual, the hormones are the vitalizing influence that regenerates the brain and heart, and empowers visions, clairvoyance, conscious dreams, and spiritual powers. For the infrasexual, the hormones - being corrupted by desire, lust, anger, and pride - cloud the mind, degenerate the emotions into selfishness, and hypnotize the consciousness with paranoia, hallucinations, obsessions, fantasies of wealth and power, motivating the person towards crime, violence, rape, etc. This is criminology: the science that examines how desire is the basis of crime.

Even though we believe we are an advanced civilization, the problems that afflict us are undeniable and seem to be getting worse by the day: proliferation of nuclear weapons, deforestation, unceasing wars, political instability, economic hardship, pollution, social injustice, climate change, terrorism, etc. In spite of humanity's love for the theory of evolution and the cherished belief that we are evolving towards perfection, the facts prove otherwise: everywhere we look, modern society displays clear signs of devolution: widespread and systemic degeneration, decay, and decline towards destruction. Jesus, the founder of Christianity, said: "...wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction [the "second death"], and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life [the "second birth"], and few there be that find it." -Matthew 7:13-14 In The Narrow Way, Samael Aun Weor reveals the secret teachings of Jesus that few have known: the "way to life" is within the marvelous "human machine," our physical body. By harnessing the power of the sexual glands, we can revolt against the current towards destruction. This revolution cannot be done through belief but through action, through a method known since antiquity but kept secret until now: sexual transmutation, also called alchemy or tantra. The "way to life" is always sexual, whether creating physical life or spiritual life. That is why throughout the ancient scriptures there are clues towards the preservation of the sexual energy, the "living waters," and why the elite of every religion preserved their sexual energy: they knew how to harness it for purposes higher than mere lust. The sexual energy is a tremendous power - it creates life! When harnessed and made pure - a process called "white tantra" - it creates life in the superior levels of nature so that one is "born again." The "second birth" is the result of creating the solar bodies (Astral Body, Mental Body, Causal Body), which Jesus called "the wedding garment." With the solar bodies, one is awakened in the superior dimensions of nature. The Narrow Way exposes the ancient secret path hidden in all religions, and the source of power that gave birth to the most remarkable souls in history, those radiant men and women of terrific compassion and intelligence who embodied the best of what it is to be human. The power to become like them is within you, too.

Collects three previously separate books originally published in Spanish: Zodiacal course, Esoteric treatise of hermetic astrology, and The manual of practical magic.

Instructions to prepare the soul for the process of dying and the experiences of the afterlife are found within the scriptures of every mystical tradition, especially the Bible, The Theban Recension (Egyptian Book of the Dead), and the Bardo Thodol (Tibetan Book of the Dead), yet they are veiled in cryptic symbolism and are difficult for most people to understand. Now, for the first time, a treatise that fearlessly approaches the topics of death, dying, and the afterlife has been written for our day and age, for those who are tired of theories and are ready to know the truth through their own experience. Leaving behind fear and belief, Samael Aun Weor explains through vivid stories what happens when we die, and how we can prepare ourselves now to take full advantage of the experience.

"Without wanting to hurt delicate susceptibilities in any way, we must emphasize the basic idea that a variety of venerable institutions coexist within the cultural-spiritual environment of contemporary humanity that very sincerely believe they know the Secret Path. Nonetheless, they do not know it. "In all the books of ancient times, the Secret Path is cited. This Path is quoted and mentioned in many verses; yet people do not know it. "Beloved reader, to unveil, to show and to teach the esoteric path that leads to the Final Liberation is certainly the purpose of this book that you have in your hands. This is one of the books of the Fifth Gospel. "The great German initiate Goethe wrote, "Every theory is gray and only the tree of the golden fruits of life is green." "Certainly, what we deliver in this new book are transcendental lived experiences. It is what we have verified, what we have directly experienced." For the first time in the history of humanity, the path of Initiation has been explained from beginning to end. This is not a collection of references from various spiritual treatises: this is the direct experience of the author. In this work Samael Aun Weor explains the essential outline of the Direct Path to the realization of the Being. The Direct Path is the only way to reach the heights of spiritual development, and was indicated with precision by Jesus of Nazareth: "Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few." - Matthew 7:13

For eternities, Beelzebub was living in the darkness of tenebrous caverns... Beelzebub ignored that he was in evil. He was furiously attacking the White Magicians and believing them to be perverse. He was feeling himself to be a saint and good and considered the White Magicians to be demons. My intentions were in the long run to perform the greatest task in the cosmos, which was to take Beelzebub out of the Black Lodge and transform him into a disciple of the White Lodge. Witness the incredible story of the Samael Aun Weor and his efforts to convert the demon Beelzebub. This controversial book explains in detail the subtle distinctions between positive and negative schools of awakening. Included are many adventures in the internal worlds, practices of Alchemy / Tantra, important clues to differentiate between White and Black Magic, angels and demons, and all the essential foundations of positive spiritual work.

A quote from the author: "We have studied the verses of the book of Revelation (Apocalypse) in the Superior Worlds. We give the result of our investigations in this book. "Much has been said and written about the Apocalypse. However, only intellectual speculations have been made and the words of various authorities have been repeated. "The present work is the result of tremendous esoteric investigations that were patiently performed by us in the Superior Worlds. "We have found the Apocalypse to be divided into three parts: the first we have entitled "The Son of Man," the second "The Sealed Book" and the third "The New Jerusalem." The first part teaches the Path of the Razor's Edge. The second is related with the times of the end. The third tells us of the future earth. "This is a book of practical christification. This is a book of transcendental esoterism and it is absolutely practical." Topics include: The Son of Man; The First Begotten of the Dead; The Seven Churches; The Serpent of Metal; Internal Meditation; The Jinn States; The Throne in Heaven; The Sealed Book; The Seven Seals; The Four Angels; The Seventh Seal; The Fifth Angel; The Sixth Trumpet; The Seventh Trumpet; The Two Witnesses; The Woman and the Dragon; The Two Beasts; The Lamb in Sion; The Seven Angels with the Seven Vials; The Seven Vials Are Poured; The Whore and the Beast; Babylon is Fallen; The Maitreya Buddha; The Millennium and the Judgment; The New Jerusalem; and more.

The world has often heard of the adventures of the great heros such as Aeneas, Hercules, and Parsifal - but for the first time, the meaning of those famous stories is made clear. The founder of the modern Gnostic Movement provides a deeply spiritual and psychological exploration of the ancient symbols hidden in Virgil's Aeneid, Richard Wagner's Parsifal, and more. Excerpts from these tales are interwoven with a series of practical exercises from the ancient Nordic Runes that help the serious student awaken their consciousness so they too can enter into their own direct experience of the parallel universes that we have long forgotten. "The human being, or better if we say, the poor intellectual animal mistakenly called man, has his consciousness completely asleep. Therefore, he certainly is incapable of vividly experiencing that which is not of time, that which is the Reality. "To consciously work within the distinct parallel universes, to travel by will in a lucid, clear, and brilliant way through all of those supra-sensible regions, is only possible by transforming the sub-consciousness into consciousness. "A judo of the Spirit exists; we are referring to the Runic exercises. These are formidable in order to attain the awakening of the consciousness."

The people who inhabited America before our contemporary civilization were as complex, intelligent, and lovely as any who live today, and their cultures were as varied, contradictory, and expressive. They were great artisans, poets, warriors, thinkers, astronomers, mathematicians. Yes, the ancient Americans degenerated, exactly like our beloved Greeks and Romans, yet the former cultures of the Americas remain widely ignored. Most importantly, at its heart the mysticism of the ancient Americans is completely in harmony with the mysticism of the Egyptians, Buddhists, Christians, Greeks, Jews, Hindus, and so on, and when we study them all, we start to see the place they come from: the one, universal religion. In AZTEC CHRISTIC MAGIC, Samael Aun Weor illuminates many of the significant symbols of the Aztec spiritual tradition, while also providing a series of practical methods to awaken consciousness and experience the truth for ourselves. Through meditation, awakening in the world of dreams, and transmuting the sexual energy, anyone can rise out of suffering and establish a life of happiness.

For two thousand years, the teachings of Christianity have changed dramatically, especially regarding its founder and inspiration, Jesus. A master of Kabbalah and Hebrew, Jesus made the secret teachings public, enraging those who were attached to their power and traditions. "If the Lord had not been crucified, the destiny of the Western world would have been another. We would now have sublime enlightened rabbis everywhere, preaching Christic esotericism. The union of Christic esotericism, secret Jewish Kabbalah, and holy alchemy would have completely illuminated and transformed the entire world. Yes, the mysteries of Levi would have shone with the light of Christ. Gnosis (Da'ath) would have magnificently shone everywhere." - Samael Aun Weor Although the genuine teachings of Jesus were obscured and hidden from the public, the time has come for them to be restored and made known. In The Major Mysteries, Samael Aun Weor reveals the practical basis of authentic Kabbalah, Christianity, and Alchemy, the science Jesus taught, which explains how to return to Eden: through the same door we used to leave it. The return to Eden is the "narrow, straight gate," the way to be "born again." Any birth, whether of the flesh or the spirit, is sexual. The author also provides an amazing account of the private life of Jesus and his process of development. Filled with practical exercises, prophecies, and guidance for liberation from suffering, The Major Mysteries is an essential handbook for anyone who longs to know for themselves the truth of Jesus and his message.

"...the tree of life [Kabbalah] also in the midst of the garden, and [Alchemy] the tree of knowledge of goodness and impurity." - Bereshit / Genesis 2 The most ancient sciences in the world are Alchemy and Kabbalah, which are the practical, spiritual knowledge hidden in the depths of every great religion and mystical tradition. Modern scientists are only recently discovering what these ancient teachings have always known: that we are a part of a multidimensional universe, and that our consciousness, our awareness, can expand to perceive matter and energy that are invisible to the flesh. Just as physics and chemistry illuminate our understanding of the physical world, Alchemy and Kabbalah constitute a scientific method to awaken the consciousness and fully develop the human being, opening the doors to vast worlds that are hidden from the physical senses. This awakening or alchemical birth requires a precise scientific method, for everything that exists depends upon causes and conditions. Hidden in centuries of mystical texts and obscure drawings are the specific instructions that lead towards the opening of their inner senses and the entrance into a higher life. The Philosopher's Stone, the secret of transmuting lead into gold, and many other sacred mysteries long restricted to initiates who had proven their trustworthiness were publicly revealed for the first time by the author Samael Aun Weor. These mystical sciences are hidden in the twenty-two primary Tarot cards, whose origins and precise meanings have never before now been publicly revealed. Now, see for yourself how these ancient traditions are all truly one science. Discover the keys to unlock the mysteries hidden in scriptures, mystical texts, and enigmatic images, and most importantly the mysteries hidden within us.

Our world is breaking under the strain of so many problems: social unrest, inequality, earthquakes, shocking weather events, violence and despair... Our world needs real change. You can help make it happen. "When one discovers the real cause of so much misery and bitterness, it becomes obvious that something can be done..." --Samael Aun Weor Everyone wants a better world, a better life, and genuine happiness, yet few know how to actually transcend suffering. Theories and beliefs are widespread, but the experience of reality is all that counts. To truly stop suffering, we need to become very aware of: - The overlooked, underlying cause of our pain and problems - What consciousness is and how it works through self-observation - How cause and effect create our life and the state of the world - How to acquire information through meditation - The divine power called Kundalini or Pentecost that can cleanse the mind of faults and darkness This book embraces and clarifies the essential wisdom within all the world's religions and spiritual traditions. Yet, change does not come from belief or theories. Real change comes from self-knowledge: gnosis. The Great Rebellion explains how all of the world's problems -- addiction, war, pollution, starvation, crime -- come from within us. By changing ourselves within, we change the world around us. This is the genuine foundation of every great spiritual tradition in the world. By truly becoming better people, the world becomes a better place.

"The fundamental education is the science of the consciousness that allows us to discover our relationship with human beings, nature, and all things" The Greek word gnosis means "knowledge." The higher meaning of gnosis is knowledge of facts acquired from personal experience. Gnosis is genuine knowledge of the truth. To understand truth, one must experience it. The greatest human beings in every field - philosophy, science, art, and religion - did not imitate, memorize, or remain limited by popular ideas; instead, they sought gnosis: to know the facts for themselves, and in finding the facts they changed the world for the better. Unfortunately, such people are rare. The problems afflicting individuals and society today have a simple root cause: we have not yet learned how to think. Instead, people today are taught to memorize and imitate. Schools, teachers, and parents today emphasize what we should think, rather than teaching how to think, question, and analyze, so we can recognize the facts, deal with them intelligently, and experience the truth for ourselves. "What is the value of accumulating much knowledge within our minds if we continue to be confused? What is the value of technical and industrial skills if we use them for the destruction of our fellows? It is worthless to receive instruction, to attend classes, to study, if in the process of our daily living we are miserably destroying one another. Indeed, the true objective of a fundamental education must be to create true men and women, who--because of their psychological integration--are cognizant and intelligent." When our consciousness is liberated from the conditioning and restrictions imposed upon it by imitation, bad habits, defects, vices, and mistaken beliefs, then we can see and experience the truth for ourselves. In this way, we no longer need to believe anything or follow anyone, but are free to express our fundamental nature and realize our full potential. This book guides us towards that experience, that gnosis. We need the union of superior logic and tremendous love, heart and mind balanced by conscious awareness of facts. This psychological equilibrium empowers us to alter the painful conditions that we suffer within. Therefore, we need a gnostic education: an education based on personal experience of the truth.

"This man, in addition to committing the crime of healing the ill, is also the author of a book entitled The Perfect Matrimony, which is an outrage against public morality and the good customs of the citizens." So stated the official document demanding the arrest and imprisonment of Samael Aun Weor. So began his diary written from prison, in which he documented his meditations and insights, and the process of spiritual initiation related to his imprisonment. This book is full of details about dream interpretation, meditation, degrees of initiation, the awakening of the sacred fire, and much more. Most significantly, he emphasized the necessity for spiritual aspirants to consume blessed food and drink at home, that sacred meal known in every religion by names like communion, eucharist, kiddush, tsog, prasad, etc. He also provided a complete ritual for families to practice at home around their dinner table, to invoke the help of the supreme savior known as Christ, Avalokitesvara, Quetzalcoatl, etc. Thus, instead of being cowed by the attempts of the dominate religions to suppress him, they served to increase his efforts to help humanity, resulting in this beautiful and deeply mystical book. "The Holy Eucharist should be practiced in the houses of all our Gnostic brothers and sisters... Thus, each home can become a Gnostic temple, and the head of each family is a priest. No more lodges, no more schools, no more sects, no more infamies, no more exploitation! The temple is within ourselves, and the High Priest is Christ... When a group of people around a table are verifying the Holy Eucharist, the ceremony reverberates in all the seven planes of cosmic consciousness, and opens a channel through the seven worlds through which the sublime energies of the Solar Logos descend: and thus the bread and wine become true accumulators of Christic atoms, which upon reaching our stomach are diffused throughout our organism, Christifying and sublimating it for the initiation." --Samael Aun Weor

Treatise of Sexual Alchemy reveals the true meaning of the genuine documents and symbols used by the medieval alchemists, such as Paracelsus, Basil Valentine, Francis Bacon, and more, by showing how those teachings are hidden in the Egyptian Book of the Dead and the Judeo-Christian Bible. "The Medieval alchemists hid the Great Arcanum among innumerable symbols and esoteric allegories. This was in order to save it from profanity, and in order for them to avoid being burned alive in the blazes of the Inquisition." --Samael Aun Weor
