CHAPTER XII
THE CHURCH OF LAODICEA
When the fiery serpent of our magical powers reaches the pineal gland, located in the center of the brain, then the Church of Laodicea opens.
The pineal gland is located at the middle of the brain and is the queen of the glands. Between the pituitary and pineal glands, there is an extremely subtle channel, which has already disappeared in corpses. Through this channel, the fire must pass to the space between the eyebrows. Then the fire travels to the root of the nose. There is truly a special magnetic field there where the atom of the Father resides.
When we aspire to the Great Light, we inhale trillions of aspiring atoms that penetrate through the nostrils to the magnetic field at the root of the nose, where the atom of the Father resides.
The sexual glands and the pineal gland are intimately correlated. The potency of the pineal gland depends on sexual potency. In the pineal gland is the atom of the Holy Spirit. In the pituitary gland is the atom of the Son. In the magnetic field at the root of the nose resides the atom of the Father. The pineal gland is only five millimeters in diameter and is surrounded by fine sand. The lotus of the pineal gland has a thousand petals that shine, forming the crown of the saints. In the crown of the saints, all the glory of the internal zodiac shines. In the microcosm of man, there is an entire atomic zodiac that shines and sparkles. This is the resplendent halo on the heads of the saints. As above, so below. The zodiac of the starry heavens is governed by twenty-four elders. The human zodiac is also governed by twenty-four atomic gods who have their thrones in the brain. The aura of the twenty-four atomic gods sparkles in the crown of the saints. Up above, in the starry heavens, the seven spirits before the throne of the Lamb. Down here in the human microcosm, the seven atomic angels govern the seven churches of the spinal cord. "As above, so below."
The pineal gland is the window of Brahma; the diamond eye; the eye of polyvoyance. In this chakra resides intuitive vision; the eye of the spirit. This splendorous and divine chakra is associated with the crown of thorns that makes the temples of all Christified people bleed.
With this chakra, we can study the divine wisdom of Nirvana.
This chakra allows us to see and know instantly. Seeing with the diamond eye means transporting ourselves spiritually to the place we are seeing. Those who have developed the crown chakra can abandon all their internal vehicles instantly whenever they so desire. When the Innermost functions without vehicles of any kind in the world of the mist of fire, then we reach perfect ecstasy. When the fire touches the atom of the Father, the first initiation of fire occurs.
The epiphysis and hypophysis (pineal and pituitary) glands each have their own irradiation, their own aura.
When these two glandular auras mingle, a stream of light emerges through the door of the frontal chakra.
Upon reaching these esoteric heights, the initiate receives the "Initiation." The initiate must ascend the seven degrees of power of fire. In the frontal chakra of great initiates, the pentagonal star shines resplendently with immaculate whiteness.
Some are resurrected in fire, and others in light. We are resurrected first in fire, and then in light.
As we aspire to the light, then we inhale millions of aspiring atoms reach the magnetic field of the nose, which then pass to the heart. The "Nous" atom resides in the heart.
This atom governs all the atoms in the organism. The Master atom exists in the seminal system. With sexual alchemy, this atom rises to the brain to teach us the wisdom of nature.
Anyone who reaches the fifth initiation of greater mysteries becomes an elder brother of humanity.
Before you can reach the Valley of Refuge, called the Path of Pure Knowledge, you will have to sacrifice yourself for the love of humanity. The fifth path is supreme love, supreme charity, and supreme obedience to the Father.
When the sacred serpent passes through that cerebral center where the frontal fontanel of the Newborns are, then a portion of the fire escapes, pouring into the external world. In those moments, the entire aura glows with fire, and the immaculate and divine white dove of the Holy Spirit enters us. All the initiate's internal vehicles must be crucified and stigmatized on the Golgotha of the supreme sacrifice. The Golgotha of the Father is in the brain. We must ascend to Golgotha, carrying the cross. The twenty-four elders cast their crowns at the feet of the Lamb. He who opens the church of Laodicea must humbly cast his crown at the feet of the Lamb. Through internal meditation, the resplendent lotus of a thousand petals develops and unfolds. You who cast your crown at the feet of the Lamb, remember that everyone who wishes to attain to mystical science must deny and detach themselves from five things:
First, from human passions, distractions, and vices of the multitudes.
Second, from the vain and fleeting things of the world.
Third, from the occult powers themselves; having them in abundance, be as one who has them not.
Fourth, detach yourself from yourself; convince yourself that, howeva sinful shadow that must be annihilated.er exalted and great your inner God may be, you are nothing more than the shadow of your God,
Fifth, resolve to die.( mystical death of the pluralized ego)
Do not aspire to immortalize yourself. Resolve to die completely in the multiplicity of psychological defects that constitute the ego itself…. Then you will be lost in your inner God, and only the Christified Son of Man will remain dwelling within your soul. You who have opened the seven churches, remember that the occult powers are very divine, but dangerous. If we do not dissolve the ego, it happens that the ego, armed with all these powers, wants to do something, and desires to be great and powerful. Those initiates who cling to magical powers stray from humility and fall into the abyss of perdition. If you want to embody the Lamb, remember your own situation at every moment. This nothingness and the recognition of your own sin and misery are the means by which your God, who is waiting, works wonders and prodigies within you. Fast, pray, and do much penance. Never tell your sacred visions to anyone. Remember that Jezebel (who calls herself a prophetess) delights in telling people about all her visions. You who cast your crown at the feet of the Lamb, learn to be silent.
Never speak of the Beloved's initiations. These intimate things of initiation are very sacred.
The Beloved may be full of initiations and powers. It is urgent that you attain the annihilation of the ego.
Never say, "I have so many initiations; so-and-so has so many initiations, because your "I" has never received any initiation. Initiations are very sacred.
Only the Intimate is the only one who receives initiations and degrees and feasts. Initiations are for the Intimate.
"And to the (atomic) Angel of the church of Laodicea write: Behold, says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God. I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot.
I wish you were cold or hot! But because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth"
(Rev. 3:14-16).
Woe to the lukewarm! Truly, the lukewarm will not be able to enter the secret path. The lukewarm are parasites of nature. Many times a great sinner is closer to redemption than a lukewarm devotee. "I will vomit the lukewarm out of My mouth."
Truly, the lukewarm person says: "I am rich (I am full of knowledge, etc.), and have need of nothing; yet you do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked. I admonish you to buy from me gold tried in the fire (through sexual fire we must transmute the lead of the personality into the purest gold of the Divine Spirit); that you may be made rich (spiritually), and may be clothed in white garments, so that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see" (Rev. 3:17, 18).
The eye salve of chastity is the raw material of the Great Work; this holy eye salve opens the eye of Polyvoyance. The potency of the pineal gland depends on sexual potency. "As many as I love, I rebuke and discipline; therefore be zealous (vigilant) and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door (the pineal gland is the door)
(of the soul) I will come into him and dine with him, and he with me" (Rev. 3:19, 20). The Lamb enters us
through the door of the pineal gland.
When the Lamb enters the soul, He becomes it, and it becomes Him. Then we resurrect the Son of Man within ourselves.
"To him who overcomes, I will grant to sit with Me on My throne; just as I have overcome and sat down with my Father on his throne" (Rev. 3:21). The soul mingled with the Lamb is the Son of Man who sits on his throne. The Son of Man is a victor. He defeated Satan. He has the right to sit on the Father's throne, because the Son is One with the Father, and the Father is One with the Son. "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches" (Rev. 3:22). The Lamb must enter into the spirit (Innermost), into the soul, and into the body of man. You who cast your crown at the feet of the Lamb, remember that you must build your temple on the living stone, so that the Lamb may come and dine with you. The Temple of Wisdom has seven pillars of living fire. If you want initiation, write it on a rod. Only with INRI can you reach the Golgotha of the Father.
CHAPTER XIII
THE STATES OF JINAS
"As above, so below." The infinitely small is analogous to the infinitely large. An atom is an entire solar system in miniature.
The Heavenly Jerusalem exists in the macrocosm. The Heavenly Jerusalem exists in the microcosm of man.
There will be a new heaven and a new earth. It is the future Heavenly Jerusalem of the macrocosm.
When a man is Christified, he becomes the new Heavenly Jerusalem of the microcosm. "As above, so below." That is the law.
The New Jerusalem—both in the macrocosm and in the microcosm—descends from the higher worlds; and is filled with terribly divine powers.
The New Jerusalem—both on the future planet Earth and on the planet of man—is illuminated by the Slain Lamb.
The purified planet of the future, plus the planet's internal bodies, are the Heavenly Jerusalem of the future in the macrocosm.
The Christified body of the Man, plus his Christified internal bodies, constitute the Heavenly Jerusalem of the microcosm of man.
Everything that happens on planet Earth is repeated on planet Man. Everything that happens in the Heavenly Jerusalem of the macrocosm is repeated in the Heavenly Jerusalem of the microcosm of man.
"As above, so below."
In the Heavenly Jerusalem of Planet Earth of the future, only Christified souls will dwell. In the Heavenly Jerusalem of the human body, only the Christified soul of the initiate dwells.
The human body of a Christified person is the Heavenly Jerusalem of the microcosm. That Christic body is full of terrible powers.
The eight major powers of the mystic are the following:
First: "Anima." The power to reduce the size of one's physical body to the size of an atom.
Second: "Mahima." The power to enlarge oneself to the point of touching the sun and the moon with one's hands.
Third: "Laghima." The power to make one's body so light like a feather. With this power, we can float with our bodies through the air.
Fourth: "Gharima." The power to increase the body's weight at will, until it weighs as much as a mountain.
Fifth: "Prapti." Prophecy, clairvoyance, sacred hearing, psychometry, telepathy, intuition, the power to understand the language of animals, like Apollonius of Tyana, like Francis of Assisi, who could also converse with the animals of the forest.
Sixth: "Prakanya." The power that allows the mystic to submerge himself in water and even live underwater without harm.
The Great Guru Deva Sivananda tells us about the case of Swami Tilinga of Benares (India), who used to live six months a year beneath the waters of the Ganges.
Seventh: "Vasitwan." The power with which the mystic can dominate the fiercest animals. The power to pronounce words that numb and enchant the Poisonous snakes.
Eighth: "Ishatwan." Power that allows saints to resurrect the dead. He who has reached these heights is liberated, a Lord of the living and the dead.
All those who are already walking the path of Christification must develop these eight powers. These powers of the Heavenly Jerusalem are achieved and conquered through internal meditation.
(on condition of absolute chastity).
The human body transformed into the Celestial Jerusalem is a marvelous Christ body.
PRACTICE
- Let the mystic lie down quietly in his bed.
- Ask the Inner Lamb for the assistance of an Angel who specializes in the Jinas states.
- Beseech the Angel and the Slain Lamb to take you, with your physical body, to the higher worlds.
- We, the Brothers of the Temple, advise you to invoke the Angel Harpocrates, who is a specialist in the Jinas states. Pray to the Lamb. Beseech him to send Harpocrates to you.
- Remove all thoughts from your mind (clear your mind). It is necessary that you achieve a still and tranquil mind.
- Induce sleep. Fall asleep without thinking about anything.
- Get up from your bed and leave your chamber, preserving sleep as a precious treasure.
If the practice has been done well, your body will enter the state of Jinas, that is, it will immerse itself within the supersensible worlds.
A body in the state of Jinas can float in the air (Laghima), or immerse itself in water (Prakanya), or pass through fire without being burned, or shrink to the size of an atom (Anima), or enlarge itself until it can touch the sun and the moon with its hands (Mahima).
A body immersed within the supersensible worlds is subject to the laws of those worlds. It is therefore plastic, elastic, and can change shape, lose weight (Laghima), or gain weight (Gharima) at will.
The yogi of Benares, who immersed himself for six months under water, could do so because he first placed his body in the state of Jinas. Some devotees who were practicing meditation to enter the Jinas state suddenly felt very fat, like they were inflating like balloons. If only those devotees had gotten out of bed at that very moment, they would have had the joy of entering the Jinas state. When Jesus walked on the waters of the Sea of Galilee, his body was in the Jinas state. Peter was able to free himself from his shackles and leave his prison thanks to an Angel who helped him place his body in the Jinas state. The Heavenly Jerusalem of the human microcosm is filled with formidable divine powers. Through internal meditation, you will develop the eight great mystical powers and become living models of the future Heavenly Jerusalem. Much patience and many years of practice are required to cultivate, develop, and strengthen the eight great mystical powers. In these Jinas practices, devotees must be patient. We must persevere for days, months, and years until we fully educate, develop, and invigorate the eight great mystical powers. In the state of Jinas, we act upon nature with the powers of the seven churches.
Faith, tenacity, patience, chastity, charity, and supreme love for humanity are required. These virtues are indispensable. Thus, you will develop the eight mystical powers of your own Heavenly Jerusalem. These eight mystical powers belong to the seven churches.
Those who tire, the inconstant, those who commit adultery with Jezebel (who calls herself a Prophetess), will never attain the eight mystical powers of the saints.
In the state of Jinas, we exercise the perfect priesthood of the seven churches. Every person who is Christified becomes a living exponent, a living example of the future Jerusalem. All of man's internal vehicles, when they are already Christified and stigmatized, shine with the glory of the Lamb. Truly, this is the Holy Tabernacle of God with men. The Lord dwells in His Holy Tabernacle. This is the Heavenly Jerusalem endowed with terribly divine powers. And the Heavenly Jerusalem has no need of sun to shine within it, because the immaculate clarity of the Eternal One illuminates it, and the Lamb is its light. The holy eight is the sign of infinity. The two witnesses of the Apocalypse are coiled in the spinal cord, forming the holy eight. From this holy eight spring all the mystical powers of the Heavenly Jerusalem of the human microcosm.
Now the devotees will understand why we speak of eight ineffable mystical powers.
"The wall of the city is 144 cubits, the measure of a man, and the measure of an Angel" (Rev. 21:17). 1 + 4 + 4 = 9. We must descend to the ninth sphere (sex) to work with water and fire, the origin of worlds, beasts, men, and gods. All authentic white initiation begins there.
The Son of Man is born of water and fire. "And he who spoke with me had a measure of a golden reed, to measure the city, its gates, and its walls" (Rev. 21:15). That golden reed is the spinal cord. The seven degrees of the power of fire ascend through it. Take up your reed so that you may exercise the priesthood of the saints.
You can become early citizens of the future Jerusalem.
Just as before the sun rises, dawn breaks in the East, delighting the birds, who then begin to fill the forest with the sweetness of their moving songs; so too before the future ineffable Jerusalem, the dawn of the Eternal breaks with some living examples of what the New Jerusalem will be.
Develop your inner powers. Do not covet powers. Do not desire powers. Cultivate the lotus flowers with selfless love. Cultivate your precious and delicate inner garden, just as the poor gardener cultivates his garden.
When your lotus flowers shine, remember that all your powers are but tallow candles shining like fireflies before the resplendent sun of your Slain Lamb.
You are not the Master. Remember that only your Inner Lamb is the Master. Remember that although your Inner God is a hierarch of fire, you, are only a man, and as such you will always be judged.
Your Inner Lamb may be a planetary God, and do not forget, that you are only the shadow of your God.
Do not say, "I am -such God," or "I am such-and-such Master," because you are nothing but a shadow that must resolve to die within yourself so as not to serve as an obstacle to your Inner God. You must attain supreme humility.
