GENESIS AND HOLY WEEK
We must experience Holy Week within ourselves, here and now, in the Great Work. The Genesis of Moses and the Apocalypse of Saint John complement each other. It is fitting that we take a look at the Bible and read the coordination of Genesis and Revelation. Let us open the Holy Scriptures here. In Genesis it says:
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.”
It is the First Day of the great work of Holy Week, in which light must be separated from darkness. The Initiate must then descend to the infernal worlds and learn the secret of the abyss, the secret of Malkuth, the secret of the Kliphos, of the Second Death.
"Then God said, 'Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.' And God made the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so. And God called the expanse Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day."
That is the second task that must be done; it is the second Alchemical task, and the waters must be separated from the waters.
Keep in mind that when speaking of waters, Genesis is referring to those seminal waters of the first instant, to the metallic chaos of Alchemy. It is clear that in that Sperm is, let's say, the Soul, the Soul of the semen itself, the Soul of Chaos. The Soul is the Mercury of secret philosophy.
One must separate the waters from the waters. Or rather: The higher waters, the Milk of the Virgin, as it is said in Alchemy, the Mercury of secret philosophy, the Metallic Soul of quicksilver, must be separated from the raw part through transmutation; that is obvious.
There are three types of Mercury:
Raw Mercury, or Sperm; the Metallic Soul of Mercury, which is, let's say, the seminal sexual currents rising through Ida and Pingala, is the second Mercury; And the third Mercury, I clarify, is when the solar and lunar atoms of Mercury, making contact with the Triveni, near the coccyx, awaken the Kundalini, the Sacred Fire, the Sulfur, and then Mercury is fertilized and the Third Mercury is formed, which comes to penetrate through Sushumna, that is, to ascend through the spinal column to the brain, and it is with this Third Mercury, with the excess of this Third Mercury, that the Astral Body comes to crystallize.
Much later, in a higher octave, the Mental Body, and then the Causal Body.
Thus, separating the waters from the waters is indispensable through transmutation; that is the second day of creation.
—God also said: Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let dry land appear. And it was so. And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering of the waters he called Seas. And God saw that it was good. Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. The land produced vegetation: plants yielding seed according to their own kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it, each with its own kind.
The mile is in it, according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.”
There, then, is the third task: the creation in one day of the Astral Body, the Sidereal Vehicle, which must come to bear fruit. When does it bear fruit? When it is already a vehicle, then, of Pure Gold, that is when the Astral Body, where, we might say, life resides, has borne fruit. Third vehicle.
Then God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth.” And it was so. And God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars. And God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.”
It is then that one comes to give proper form to the Fourth Initiation. When one comes, properly speaking, to possess that vehicle of the mind, when one comes to Christify in the Great Work; that is extremely important. Then those signs that are seen above: Sun, Moon, Stars, and all that, are those of Hermetic Wisdom; because the world of Netzach is the world of Hermetic Wisdom; that is where one finds Hermetic Knowledge. So, this matter of the Fourth Day, which has to do with the Fourth Initiation, is very interesting. Continuing, we will see the following:
—Then God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.” So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the water in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.
It is well known that in the Fifth Initiation, which corresponds to the Causal World, one must become master of the elements, learn to manage all that has life; become Lord of fire, of the air, of the water, of the earth, learn to manage the powers of nature. This is only possible by working on oneself. That is why I said that before attempting to handle the elements of nature—the elementals of fire, air, water, and earth—one must first master one's own. Learn to handle the atomic elementals of the Sperm; learn to handle the atomic elementals of sexual fire; learn to handle the Sylphs of one's own mind, the atomic Sylphs of the mind—this is called becoming master of one's own mind; and learn to handle also the atomic Gnomes that form the flesh and bones. Become master of the atomic elementals within oneself. One must become master of one's own body in order to become master of nature. One could not come to handle the Elementals of the universe if one has not mastered one's own atomic elementals, those of one's body. All of this is learned on the Fifth Day of Creation.
Then God said: Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds. And it was so. And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds, and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. (This is very important, undoubtedly quite important.) And God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
And God said, “See, I have given you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. God saw everything that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
So God created them male and female. But when do they truly become male and female? When do the masculine and feminine principles of Being merge? Note that this is the Work of the Sixth Day (...), that is, the Sixth Work in which BUDHI, the VALKYRIE, after having wed the KNIGHT, the HUMAN SOUL, merge completely through fire. Then the Perfect Androgynous Man remains, MALE AND FEMALE, with powers over fire, over the air, over the waters, over the earth, over all that is, has been, and will be. It is the last Day of Creation.
—Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done.
So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all his work that he had done in creation. When the Seventh Labor is done, on the Seventh Day of Holy Week, the Work is completed: Consumatum Est! It is finished! Then comes the supreme surrender of the Spirit to the Father.
Later, on the Eighth Day, the Father in the Son, in the resurrected Son, rises from his Crystal Sepulchre after the Resurrection of the Dead. But that Labor, in and of itself, constitutes Holy Week.
We have looked at this from the angle of Genesis, because with the same Laws that the Logos (Perfect Multiple Unity) used to create this solar system, the Alchemist must use those same Laws to create his Inner Universe, to achieve reality, to create his own Universe; they are the same Laws. When one works with Alchemy, one is working with the same Laws with which the Creator created the Universe; Furthermore, it is expanding the Creator's Work, because the Creator's Work is expanded when a new Master is born. Thus, the Work is completed and the desired outcome is achieved.
The Creator Logos ultimately desires that from all of this different self-realized beings, resurrected men, Gods, result; it is the consummation of that man.
This Genesis is intimately related to the Apocalypse of Saint John, with the Seven Seals, as with the Seven Trumpets that each angel will sound.
The Initiate, when receiving the Initiation of Malkuth, unquestionably breaks the First Seal; when passing through that of Yesod, breaks the Second Seal of the Sacred Book, which is man; when passing through the Third Initiation, breaks the Third Seal; when passing through the Fourth, breaks the Fourth Seal; when passing through the Fifth, breaks the Fifth Seal; When one passes through the Sixth, the Sixth Seal is broken, and the Work is accomplished, because the Seventh is for rest, prayer, meditation, and supplication, as seen in the Apocalypse of Saint John.
It is clear that when the Seventh Seal is broken, the Work is already accomplished. The Eighth Day is always for resurrection.
One must experience Genesis individually or collectively. One experiences it collectively with the creation of the Universe, as a divine particle that comes into this creation.
Now, the Apocalypse, one must experience it individually or collectively. Collectively, it is the Book of Life, the Book of Wisdom. Throughout history, each seal is broken. In these times, at least the sixth seal, the penultimate one, is about to be broken. That is to say, humanity is experiencing the Apocalypse collectively.
If the Alchemist has to make Gold, not only create the Superior Existential Bodies of Being, but also transform those bodies into Pure Gold before they can be swallowed by the Serpent, so too does the Logos have a Golden Age; and in order for the Logos to have a Golden Age, it must do the same as the Alchemist does in his laboratory, breaking each seal.
The Logos must bring humanity to life in all of nature; it must break each seal.
Of course, when the sixth seal is broken, the Work is practically finished, and then comes the final catastrophe.
With the breaking of the seventh seal, nothing remains of all that existed.
Finally comes the resurrection of the Logos in all of creation, in all of nature. This is when the New Age, the Golden Age, begins.
Just as Man, in order to create Gold, speaking in the Alchemical sense, needs to break the Seven Seals, so too does the Logos, in order to bring about a Golden Age, need all of humanity to break the seven seals, all of nature to break them, and then the Golden Age is born. But all of this must pass through a tremendous and terrifying Apocalypse.
Therefore, we either experience the Apocalypse individually, or we must experience it collectively. It is better to experience it individually, which grants us triumph, and we fix the Gold within ourselves, and we manage to obtain, then, the Golden Fleece of the Ancients; or we must experience it collectively with the great World Apocalypse, to the infernal worlds, to pass through the Second Death in order to later have the right to live in the Golden Age as pure essences of a new humanity. But, in any case, we must live the Great Book and break its seals. Holy Week is the holiest of all weeks, because it is the week one must live, and each is equivalent to long periods of work. But in the end, the Great Work is always symbolically summarized in the Book of Job. The eight years of Job are the culmination, the extract itself, but, as a whole, the Great Work, even if summarized in eight days, can last for eight years, including resurrection and everything, that is, in Holy Week, and can last for many years.
In any case, each person must live their Holy Week. The Son of Man lives his. When the Son of Man is born in the manger, he must live his Holy Week, do all the work in his Holy Week.
This cannot be explained to the people, because the people do not understand it; The people are given the outer shell, the husk of the teaching, but the initiates are taught the "Flesh" of the Doctrine, to consume the Doctrine.
Thus, Christianity has two aspects: Exoteric or public Christianity, for the people; Esoteric, Sacred Christianity, for the Initiates.
Question: Dear Master, to raise awareness of our work, I would like to ask: Does the Bodhisattva, even if fallen, have to form the Body of Conscious Will, that is, the Causal Body, in order for Tiphereth to enter?
Answer: Well, the Bodhisattva, does not have to create the Causal Body, since it is known that he is a Bodhisattva; that is, the Human Soul, so to speak, of a Master; it is already understood that he created those vehicles in the past. However, he must kindle the Fire in his vehicles, restore the Fire in each of his vehicles, and then regenerate the Gold in his bodies.
Once that is accomplished, the Bodhisattva arises. But this is only achieved by starting from the foundation. We would say that after the Fire has been kindled in each of the vehicles; after the Fire principle has been restored, let's say, in the physical, vital, astral, mental, and causal bodies, the Father, if it is His will, can send Tiphereth to be born in The Inner Stable. But I understand that this is a grace from the Most High, because someone may have attained, I repeat, the Fifth Initiation of Fire, and yet, the Child that the Divine Mother carries in her arms does not necessarily have to enter her vehicles, the Stable. However, if one truly desires it, if one wants to work for humanity, then one can bring about the Son of Man to come into the world. That is the Will of the Father.
Question.— Dear Master, when an Initiate has formed the Causal Body, then does he achieve the formation of the Human Soul, or is Tiphereth the Human Soul?
Answer.—Well, the Human Soul is properly in the Causal Body itself. A fraction of the Causal Body is what constitutes the Buddhata, the essence. In the Bodhisattva, then, it is the Buddhata, the essence, it is the Golden Embryo already organized. In any case, we must keep in mind what I said at the beginning, and the matter of the Causal Body and the Christic Tiphereth is so subtle that it easily lends itself to confusion. It is so subtle that one can make a mistake, one can confuse apples and oranges.
The Tiphereth, that is, the living expression of the Inner Christ, is very closely correlated with the Causal Body, with the Human Soul. It becomes an integral part of the Human Soul, but only when it is the Will of the Father, when the Son of Man comes into the world.
I think you are beginning to understand me; this is very subtle; one needs a very elastic, very ductile, very receptive mind to be able to understand this.
Question: Master, to achieve the Tiphereth Initiation, is it necessary to have the Solar Vehicles?
Answer: — Well, unquestionably, if one does not possess the Higher Existential Bodies of Being, one could never attain the Initiation of Tiphereth.
Question: What is the origin of our essence, Master? And if we wish to rise, why haven't we done so before?
Answer: Well, I will gladly answer all of that. The essence comes from the Milky Way (I am speaking in summary), reaches the Sun, and then, finally, penetrates nature. In principle, it manifests as a simple primordial elemental; it ascends through the mineral, vegetable, and animal stages, until finally penetrating the body of the humanoid, or the rational mammal. It is clear that the essence needs to become the Golden Embryo; it needs to work to create the Higher Existential Bodies of Being and transform itself into a Bodhisattva.
When the essence fails to achieve its purpose in the first cycle of manifestation, which consists of one hundred and eight lives, it must descend into the bowels of the earth in involutionary processes, with the aim of eliminating the inhuman elements or psychic aggregates in which it became trapped due to its errors. Once it has passed through the Second Death, it ascends again to the surface of the world to restart new evolutionary processes from the mineral level. Undoubtedly, these new processes begin on a higher spiral within the great spiral of life.
It will begin, or return, or restart its evolutionary processes from the mineral level, but at a higher octave; no longer as a mere lower elemental, but as a higher Gnome, until it once again attains the humanoid state, after having passed through the plant and animal stages.
As we know, it is assigned one hundred and eight existences. If victory is not achieved, the process will continue to repeat itself for three thousand cycles, or wheels of manifestation, or ages.
Well then, those of you who are not yet Bodhisattvas, it is because you did not work in that direction, you did not reach those heights in past cycles of manifestation. But right now you can become Bodhisattvas if you so choose.
In any case, do not forget the origin of the essence: it comes from the The Milky Way passes to the Sun and finally enters our nature, our world.
Of course, if we consider that the Milky Way's central hub is Sirius, those esotericists who think we are heading towards Sirius are not mistaken; it is true, we are heading towards Sirius.
Question: And when did our essence leave the Milky Way?
Answer: Well, that was at the dawn of life. Let's consider that those essences had to devolve and then descend to the mineral state, becoming part of many principles, so to speak, in the Higher Worlds; upon reaching the mineral state, they restarted an evolutionary ascent; they began as primitive essences.
Obviously, you have already completed the cycle several times; have passed not only through the mill wheel, but also through each of the mill stone several times.. That is obvious. Now, naturally, you must take advantage of this cycle of manifestation for your self-realization, especially at a time when we are living through the final stages of the collective or global Apocalypse. It would be regrettable if you did not achieve self-realization at this time. You would have to descend into the bowels of the earth at a very unfortunate hour, along with all this global catastrophe.
I advise you, therefore, to become Bodhisattvas at once.
Question: Could you explain to us, more or less briefly, how the government of this Solar System of Ors originated, and who governs it?
Answer: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Through him all things were made, and without him nothing was made that was made.
Thus, the Universe is governed by the Word. The Word is the Army of the Voice, the Great Word, the Demiurge Architect, the Archeus. Each of the Words, speaking separately, since the Logos is Perfect Multiple Unity, has its mission, its work, its ministry, in relation to this Solar System of Ors.
And the entire group of ELOHIM, who form the Army of the Great Word, the HERUPA KROAT, constitute in themselves the government of our Solar System of Ors.
