THE ARCHE
To create the internal bodies, a small artifice is necessary, which is also the Secretum Secretorum of the ancient alchemists.
This Secretum Secretorum is the Arcanum A.Z.F., which can be summarized as follows: "Sexual connection without seminal spillage, without ejaculation of the 'Ens Seminis.'" Thus, the creative energy is transmuted.
First of all, Mercury is nothing more than the metallic soul of the sperm. In Alchemy, sperm is raw Quicksilver. It is said that, with this transmuted sperm, Mercury is prepared, which is the metallic soul of the sperm.
Now, there are three kinds of Mercury:
1— Raw Quicksilver, that is, the Hexiohehary or sacred sperm.
2— The metallic soul of the sperm, which is the result of the transmutation of the libido. This metallic soul is creative energy that ascends through the spinal cords and around it to the brain that are know as Ida and Pingala that is to say the two witness of the apocalypse.
3— The third Mercury is the highest. It is the one that has been fertilized by Sulfur. In Alchemy, Sulfur is the sacred Fire.
Eastern esotericists believe that when the positive and negative currents of Mercury make contact at the Triveni, in the coccyx bon, a third force, Kundalini, awakens through electrical induction. This Kundalini, designated solely as a serpentine fire, develops in the ascetic's body near the coccyx.
This sacred fire, or Sulfur, mixes with the metallic soul of Mercury, and from this mixture results this Mercury that has been fertilized by Sulfur. This mixture of Mercury and Sulfur ascends through the spinal canal to the brain, awakening the higher centers of the brain. The excess of this Mercury, fertilized by Sulfur, is what must bring about the virtual creation of the higher existential bodies of the Being.
When Mercury, fertilized by Sulfur, crystallizes within our psyche and within our organism with the notes
C, D, E, F, G, A, B., the Astral body is formed. Thus, the Astral body is nothing more than Mercury fertilized by Sulfur. When, through a second octave C, D, E, F, G, A,B., the Mercury fertilized by Sulfur crystallizes, it assumes the form of the Mental body. So the Mental body is, likewise, Mercury fertilized by Sulfur in a second octave. When Mercury fertilized by Sulfur crystallizes in a third octave, with the notes C, D, E, F, G, A, B., the Causal body is formed.
Once the Physical, Astral, Mental, and Causal bodies are possessed, one is a true Human Being, that is, with the soul and spiritual principles of an authentic Human Being. Before that, one is an intellectual animal but not a Human Being.
Mercury fertilized by Sulfur, the third Mercury, is the most refined and the most important, because the third Mercury is quite important; it is what we would call the Arche, the Greek Arche, the famous Arche. From this third Mercury, which is the Arche, the existential bodies of the Being emerge. We also find the Arche in the Macrocosm, the Macrocosmic Arche. This Macrocosmic Arche is the nebula from which the worlds emerge. What is the nebula? It is the Macrocosmic Arche, a mixture of Salt, Sulfur, and Mercury. Salt is spirit.
Salt is contained in the sacred semen and is sublimated through transmutation. Therefore, in the Arche of the Microcosm, there is also Salt, Sulfur, and Mercury.
Salt is contained in sexual secretions, but it requires sublimation, so when transmutations occur, the Salt is also transmuted.
The Arche of the Microcosm, from which the higher existential bodies of Being emerge, contains Salt, Sulfur, and Mercury, and in the Arche of the Macrocosm there are also Salt, Sulfur, and Mercury.
From the nebula, from the Macrocosmic Arche, the cosmic units, the worlds, emerge. Down here it is the same as up above; for the worlds to emerge, the nebula is needed, and for that to happen, the raw material, which is the Arche, is needed—a mixture of Salt, Sulfur, and Mercury.
Down below, in the Microcosm, the nebula must also first be created with Salt, Sulfur, and Mercury, and from it arises, as up above, the worlds, the higher existential bodies of Being.
What the Great Architect of the Universe did in the Macrocosm, we must do here on a small scale, because as above, so below. This is how the higher existential bodies of the Being come into being. Therefore, it is necessary to create the Arche within us. The Arche is Salt, plus Sulfur, plus Mercury. Both above and below. By creating the Arche, The Physical and the Astral, the Mental and the Causal, come to crystallize. It is with the third Mercury, which is the Arche, that the solar bodies are fabricated. We study them from an alchemical perspective, in the light of occultism, to better understand them.
He who has fabricated the bodies must then perfect them. For these bodies to be perfected, it is absolutely necessary to eliminate the dry mercury, which is nothing other than the egos. If one does not eliminate the egos, the existential bodies are not perfected, and bodies that are not perfected cannot be clothed by the different parts of the Being. For the bodies to be clothed by the different parts of the Being, they must be perfected, transformed into vehicles of pure gold. But these vehicles could not become instruments of pure gold if the dry mercury and arsenical sulfur were not eliminated. What is dry mercury? The egos. What is arsenical sulfur? The carnal, bestial fire of man's atomic hells. This fire corresponds to the abominable Kundartiguador organ.
The dry mercury and arsenical sulfur must be eliminated so that the superior existential bodies of the Being, created by The Arche of Alchemy can become vehicles of pure gold of the highest quality.
These vehicles of pure gold can be covered by the different parts of the Being, and there, at last, all of them, penetrating and interpenetrating each other without interfering, come to serve as a wrapping for our King, our inner Christ. He rises from his tomb the instant there is a wrapping of that kind and covers himself with that wrapping to manifest himself here, through the senses, and work for suffering Humanity. This is how the Lord comes to life, how the cosmic Christ, that is, the inner Magnes of Alchemy, arises into existence.
What is the Philosopher's Stone? The Philosopher's Stone is the inner Christ clothed in his golden bodies.
This golden wrapping, formed by the bodies, is the To-Soma-Heliakon, the golden body of the solar Man.
When one possesses the Philosopher's Stone, one has absolute power over all of Nature. Nature obeys, one possesses the Elixir of Long Life, and can preserve the physical body for millions of years. So that is the path; the path lies in the seed and nothing else.
Interesting things happen within the human organism. Since the higher existential bodies of the Being are nothing other than Mercury fertilized by Sulfur, gold must appear in these Mercury bodies. But who could fix the gold atoms in Mercury? They could only be fixed by an agent, which is none other than the famous Antimony, the Antimony of Alchemy. Antimony, in reality, is not an unknown metal in Chemistry, but in Alchemy, it is one of the parts of our Being. That part of our Being knows how to fix the gold atoms in our Mercury bodies.
Thus, these bodies of Mercury become bodies of pure gold of the highest quality.
When one possesses the bodies of pure gold, one receives the golden sword. One is now an Archangel, with a sword of pure gold of the highest quality, a sword that turns menacingly, launching powerful flames. The sword of the Archangels.
So it is well worthwhile, then, to fix the atoms of gold in Mercury, and all this can be achieved on the condition of eliminating dry mercury and arsenical sulfur. If someone does not eliminate dry mercury and arsenical sulfur, they simply cannot perfect their bodies and make them of gold of the highest quality.
Thus, the whole secret of the Great Work consists in knowing how to manufacture Mercury until creating the Arche, the intimate and particular nebula from which our different bodies are to arise.
—Master, what are the three calcinations by iron and by fire?
The three calcinations by iron and fire correspond to the First and Second Mountains and part of the Third. (Upcoming publications. Which consists of the intimate initiatory path to be traveled until the victory that is the incarnation of Christ and the authentic liberation of the Being. And to have the right to get victoriously to the Sacred Absolute Abstract Space)
The three calcinations of Mercury are three purifications by iron and fire. One arrives at the resurrection of Christ in one, through three purifications, three purifications based on iron and fire. This is represented on the cross by the three nails. The three nails symbolize the three purifications of iron and fire. Thus, there are three purifications, three calcinations of Mercury.
The first calcination corresponds to the mountain of Initiation, the second to the mountain of Resurrection, and the third to the last eight years of the Great Work.
So, all this work of the Great Work consists of the preparation of Mercury. The wise say: "Give us Mercury and we will obtain everything." In short, this is the labor of the Great Work.
Now then, how does one arrive at resurrection? Becoming a man before entering the realm of the Superman. Regarding man, an Anahuac codex says the following: “The Gods created men from wood, and after creating them, they fused them with Divinity.” Not all men manage to merge with Divinity. “The man fused with Divinity, obviously, is the Superman.”
Most Initiates become men, but not all reach the state of Superman. To become a true man, the Bodies must be created, but it turns out that many manage to create the Bodies and naturally receive their higher spiritual and spiritual principles; that is, they have transformed themselves into legitimate men, into authentic men. However, it should be noted that they have not yet eliminated the dry mercury or the arsenical sulfur. So, what has happened? They have not perfected those bodies. They have not succeeded in making those vehicles of pure gold. They have managed to create them, but they have not managed to transmute those bodies into gold of the highest quality. They have remained, simply, as Hanasmussian men, Hanasmussian because they have not truly eliminated the ego. These cases are failures.
The Hanasmussen is left with a double center of gravity. One part of consciousness is the deep inner Man, the Being, clothed in the Bodies. The other part is consciousness clothed or bottled up among the different selves, forming the ego. He remains transformed into a white and black magician at the same time. Hanasmussians with a double center of gravity are the abortions of the Cosmic Mother, failures. Andramelek is a case of a Hanasmussen with a double center of gravity. One invokes Andramelek in the higher worlds and finds that it is a Throne. But in other invocations, the black magician Andramelek, who is very ancient, appears instead. He has a double center of gravity; he is a Hanasmussen.
A Hanasmussen is a failure of the Great Work, an abortion of the Cosmic Mother. The Cosmic Mother is the astral signature of the sacred sperm, the resplendent star that springs from the depths of the sea, from the metallic chaos of the sperm. Stella Maris, the fiery part of Mercury, guides and directs us in the Great Work. She is the one who helps us in all the work of the Great Work. Stella Maris is the Virgin of the Sea, of that inner sea that one carries, of the sperm. It is from there that this generous star arises, which is the fiery part of the sperm. Stella Maris is the symbolic star that guides every Magician, the one who directs the Great Work; she is the astral signature of the sacred sperm.
The Divine Mother Kundalini Shakti. With her, the Great Work is accomplished, but if one does not eliminate the dry mercury and arsenical sulfur, one cannot merge with Divinity. If there is no death, it becomes an abortion, a failure. Therefore, the Work must be done correctly.
Antimony is willing to fix the gold atoms in the Mercury on the condition that, with the help of Stella Maris, the dry mercury and arsenical sulfur are eliminated. If we do this, the Antimony works by fixing the gold.
—Master, is it true that one goes through the first initiations unconsciously?
These are the first initiations of the Lesser Mysteries; they are the probationary path. What is fundamental for us are the great initiations of the Greater Mysteries, the work of the Great Work.
To understand the mysteries of the Great Work, one needs to receive the Donum Dei, that is, the Gift of God. If one has not received the Gift of God to enter the science of the Great Work, even if one studies it, one does not understand it, because it turns out that does not reach the intellect, one reaches consciousness. All the science of the Great Work goes to consciousness; it belongs to the workings of consciousness.
See how one can speak in Alchemy about the entire Great Work.
—Master Samael, what are the colors white and red that appear so often in Alchemical texts?
They are the colors that Mercury presents when one is purifying bodies in the crucible. Which crucible? Well, the sexual crucible.
Thus, it produces a black color first, a white color afterward, then it continues with yellow and culminates with red. That is the symbolism of the Three Wise Men: one is white, another is black, and the other is yellow. Red is missing; red is missing so that all of them, the Wise Men, can raise up. The star that guides them is precisely Stella Maris, which guides us in the work.
It is the one that does all the work. Obviously, if someone wants, say, to transform the Astral body into a vehicle of pure gold, they must dedicate themselves to eliminating the dry mercury. Of course, all the egos submerged in the Astral plane emerge with a terrible force, and are processed within their corruption, and although the demons attack violently, they must disintegrate. When this occurs, it is said that one has entered the realm of Saturn, has begun the work of fire, of black fire, which corresponds to Saturn. When all those elements begin to be destroyed and disintegrated, the Mercury of the Astral body begins to whiten. But, although most of those undesirable elements have already been destroyed, the white color only superficially covers the Astral body. Then one must continue working with the same Astral Body, working with the Astral Mercury, eliminating the dry mercury from this Mercury, and in this way one comes to possess the yellow color, the yellow color of the great Mysteries. If, continuing the work, a moment arrives when there is absolutely no undesirable element left in the Astral Body, when the entire Astral Body has been purified and, reaching a point of brilliance, when the Antimony has been able to fix the gold atoms in that Mercury, then the Astral Body becomes pure gold. When it is pure gold, the Divine Mother Kundalini swallows it and one receives the purple, the purple robe, the purple of Kings. Let us see, then, the colors: black, white, yellow, and then purple, which is equivalent to red. The same process occurs for the Mental and Causal bodies.
The resurrection of Christ in the heart of man could not be verified until all those bodies were transformed into vehicles of pure gold, which, penetrating and interpenetrating each other without confusion, formed the famous To Soma Heliakon, the golden body of the solar Man.
The To Soma Heliakon serves as a covering for the Lord, for the inner Christ who rises from his crystal sepulcher and returns here to manifest himself. He envelops himself in the golden body and expresses himself in the physical world as a Mahatma.
Why does the Lord come into this world? To work for Humanity, that is the objective. As we can see, we are already beginning to understand the meaning of the Three Wise Men and the Star.
As for the child, that child is the inner Christ. The child whom the Wise Men adore, the inner Christ who must go through all this work. During this process of Alchemy, the deep inner Lord works tremendously. In essence, he is already the leader of the Great Work; Stella Maris itself works under his direction. He is the Head of the Work.
So, when the deep inner Lord has completed the entirety of the Great Work, within that crystal sepulcher, he is born as a child in the heart of man. He must develop during the esoteric work, he must live the Cosmic Drama within himself, and he takes charge of all our mental, volitional, and emotional processes. In short, he becomes a man among men and suffers all the temptations of flesh, of everyone. He must overcome and emerge triumphant. All his vehicles are now made of pure gold, and one can clothe oneself in these bodies and live in the world of the flesh, like a resurrected Adept, triumphant in the Universe. Let it be known, then, that the profound inner Lord, the intimate Christ, is the stimulus in the world of all the majesty of God, for He is our true Savior.
This is the essence of the Salvator Salvandus spoken of in Universal Gnosticism. He is the Salvator of that Adept, He is the inner Savior, the Head of the Great Work within the laboratory, the inner Magnes of Alchemy, who, clothed in his golden bodies, is the Philosopher's Stone, the precious Gem, the red Carbuncle.
Whoever possesses this Stone has the power to transmute lead into gold, projection powders, etc., etc. This Stone is very ductile, elastic, and perfect. Indeed, it can be thrown into the fire, like butter, without being lost. One can pour butter into a pan on the fire and it doesn't disappear; the Philosopher's Stone is like that if it's thrown into the fire. One can lose the metallic spirit of the Stone, which is the inner Christ. That metallic spirit can evaporate. When? When a metal melts. When does it melt? When the cup of Hermes spills; the metallic spirit melts in the metallic reaction of the gold, and it is undeniable that the inner Magnes escapes. There one knows that the Philosopher's Stone has been lost, that it has been dissolved in water. Speaking in another language, outside the Great Work, I would say that the Bodhisattva falls there. In Alchemy, it is clearly stated that the stone is thrown into water, that it dissolves in the water on Saturday. Understand that Saturday is Saturn, that is, the realm of death. Whoever dissolves their Stone in water, loses their stone.
All of Genesis is related to the Great Work. The first day of Genesis corresponds to the work in the abyss and the first Seal of Revelation. The second day of Genesis corresponds to the work with the waters, the vital body. The third day of Genesis corresponds to the astral body. The fourth day of Genesis, to the mental body. The fifth day, to the causal body. The sixth day of Genesis corresponds to the sixth Seal of Revelation, the Buddhic or intuitional body. Then, the seventh Seal, the seventh day of Creation, is the day of rest. The work is done in the six days or periods of time; on the seventh there is rest, and on the eighth comes the resurrection of the Lord. Thus, Genesis and Revelation complement each other.
The Great Work, in summary, is accomplished in eight years. The upper part of the Great Work is eight years, although the period of work and preparation is much longer. But the final synthesis, the last period in which the Great Work is built, is eight years. The eight years of Job, the eight wondrous years.
The Work is thus accomplished in periods of time, but all of this can be achieved in a single, well-spent lifetime.
Genesis and Revelation are texts of Alchemy. Genesis is meant to be lived right now through our inner work, and the same is true of Revelation. Revelation is the book of Alchemy.
Master Samael, is the Book of Revelation distorted in different translations?
This is the only thing no one has messed with. No one understands it, no one messes with it; it has been spared from disgrace. But the entire Great Work is in Revelation; that is the Book of Wisdom, the book where the laws of Nature are found. But each person has their own inner Apocalypse. There is the Apocalypse of Peter, of John, of Paul, and there is also the Apocalypse within each of us. Each person has their own Apocalypse, and there are two ways to experience it: either we experience it within ourselves by doing the Great Work, or we experience it with Nature, with Humanity in general. For example, Humanity today has already broken the sixth Seal and is surely waiting to break the seventh. When that happens, there will be a great tremor; the final cataclysm will come, the total destruction of this race. If one experiences that within oneself, it is terrifying, and it culminates with the resurrected Master. The seven seals represent the seven bodies: Physical, Etheric, Astral, Mental, Causal, Buddhic, and Atmic.
The Apocalypse is profoundly internal and is meant to be experienced within oneself.
The same is true of the Gospels. The four Gospels of Christ are alchemical and are meant to be experienced within oneself, since Christ is within oneself; one must find Him within oneself. He is the Director of all the laboratory work.
The inner Jesus Christ exists, and the historical one also existed. His merit was that he made known the doctrine of the particular inner Jesus Christ within each of us; therein lies his merit. He propagated the doctrine of the inner Christ.
For example, Buddha's merit lies in the fact that he taught the doctrine of the inner Buddha. Jesus of Nazareth makes known the doctrine of the inner Jesus Christ within each of us. So this is Jeshua, and Jeshua is Savior. The Divine Mother Kundalini, before being conceived, is the Black Virgin who resides in the cellars of all Gothic monasteries. She is honored with candles, with green votive candles, with the hope that one day the green lion, the fire, will awaken. But already conceived by the Logos, she is the Divine Mother, the Divine Conception with the child in her arms. That descending child becomes the son of one's own Divine Mother, awaiting the moment to enter our body to begin the process of the Great Work. The Savior of each of us, the inner Jesus Christ, that is what matters. Our inner Jeshua, our Savior, each of us must find our inner Savior.
— Jesus of Nazareth, the great Kabir Jesus, He accomplished the Great Work and spoke of the intimate Jesus Christ who is the Lord of the Great Work.
The Cosmic Drama is what our inner Lord must live out within ourselves, here and now, in the task of the Great Work.
The three traitors, for example, Judas, Pilate, and Caiaphas, are three demons.
Judas is the demon of desire, and each of us carries him within.
Pilate is the demon of the mind, who always finds justification and evasions for his worst crimes.
As for Caiaphas, he is the demon of ill will in each of us, the traitor, who prostitutes Religion. Caiaphas is a priest; what does he do? He turns the altar into a bed of pleasure, and so on.
In short, Judas, Pilate, and Caiaphas are the three traitors who betray the inner Christ; they are the ones who deliver him to death. And all the people who demand his death are the egos of oneself who cry out, "Crucifixion! Crucifixion! Crucifixion!" Yes! Our deep inner Lord is crowned with a crown of thorns and scourged. Every mystic can see this. Finally, he is crucified, comes down from the cross, and is placed in his tomb. Then, with his death, he kills death and rises again there, clothed in his golden bodies and possessing his special earthly body. Therein lies the mystery of the Philosopher's Stone. Blessed is he who possesses it, for he is a resurrected Master.
These are mysteries of the Gospel to be lived here and now, within ourselves. The Life, Passion, and Death of our Lord Jesus Christ are not strictly historical events, as people believe; they are something of immediate relevance that each of us must experience in our own inner work. That is the stark reality of Christ. It is not something from the past, something that happened two thousand years ago; it is something to be lived now, and I bear witness to all of this because I have been living it.
At this very moment, my deep inner Lord is in his holy tomb. In the year 1978, my deep inner Lord will rise again in me, and I in Him, so that we can accomplish the gigantic work that must be done for humanity. And it will be He who does it, not my insignificant self, which is merely an instrument. But He is perfect in Himself, and He does it because He is perfect. So I bear witness to what I know, to what I have lived. Genesis is the book of the Gnostics. That is the stark reality.
I embodied Him long ago; He was born within me as a small child when I received the initiation of Tiphereth. Then, He had to grow and develop, He had to go through all His dramas, within myself, so that when I speak in this way, I speak because I know. Now, at this moment, after having gone through Calvary, He is in His Holy Sepulchre. I go there from time to time to kiss the stone of His tomb, awaiting, yes, His resurrection. By '78 He will be resurrected for the third time. Yes, I say for the third time because I have done the Great Work three times. I did it in the past Mahanvantara, that is, on the moon-earth, before this earthly chain had come into existence. Then, in Lemuria, with that revolt of the angels who fell into animal generation—of course, that was in Lemuria, the continent of Mu. Then, I too made the mistake, as a Dyhani Bodhisattva, of falling into animal generation. I lost the Philosopher's Stone, but in Lemuria itself I brought it forth. Later, on the central plateau of Asia, I made the mistake, as Count Zanoni did, of taking a wife when it was forbidden to me. Then I threw the Philosopher's Stone back into the water. Now, in this new existence, I have done the Great Work, which is to culminate the resurrection of the Lord for the third time... for the third time! So I have already done it three times. So I have experience, I know the way... I know the way...
What I do want to say is a great truth: when I first crafted the Philosopher's Stone, the Stone was powerful. When I crafted it a second time, it was stronger. Now that I am crafting it for the third time, it will be even stronger. Because it is due to the experience acquired, hence an intelligent principle that we must understand.
A man can struggle a great deal to transform himself until union with God; up to that point he progresses, but after man reaches union with God, after God manifests himself upon that man, we would say that from then on there is no more progress. If that man wants to progress, he has to regress, that is, throw the Stone into the water. And what happens to the Stone? When the Stone returns to life, it comes back more powerful, more penetrating; it is something extraordinary. There are men who do it up to seven times. Beyond seven times it is very dangerous; one can fall under a curse. I've done it three times, but frankly, I won't do it a fourth. I don't want to risk losing much, even though the three times I've done it, things have turned out as they should. Too painful! For example, on the Central Asian Plateau, when I threw the Stone into the water for the third time, I said to myself: How much I struggled through the centuries to rise again, what dreadful burdens, what terrible bitterness! Only now, after suffering so much, so very much, is the Philosopher's Stone, being reborn again; in '78 it will be reborn. I poured out the entire history of the Aryan race to raise it again. So it's very painful, a very painful process.
There are Adepts who, wanting to make the Stone more penetrating and powerful, intentionally come down themselves—they no longer fall, they come down themselves! How do they come down themselves? They take a wife when they are not permitted to. But they do not ejaculate the seminal fluid and, under the direction of a Guru, they work with all the rules of the A.Z.F. Arcanum. They then lose the Stone. After a certain time, After a certain time, they give life back to the Stone, they do the Great Work, and the Stone becomes even stronger.
We must establish the difference between a fall and a descent. I didn't descend; I fell intentionally. My three cases were falls, not descents. On the central plateau of Asia, I committed the same error as Count Zanoni: I took a wife. That is the forbidden story, and I did it. I tell you, after the experience of centuries, that this is how the Great Work is accomplished.
Let us remember the Phoenix; it is marvelous, crowned with a golden crown, its legs and feet all of beautiful, pure gold. Nature worshipped it. Tired of living, after millions of years, it decided to make a nest of frankincense branches, myrrh, spikenard, and other precious branches, and it was indeed consumed by fire. Nature is always like that, but afterward, from its own ashes, the Phoenix was reborn, more powerful. This is how the Great Work must be done, for the stone thrown into the water is drowned.
— Master, the staff of Moses, the one that was transformed into a serpent, what is it?
Just as Moses transformed the staff into a serpent, so too must one transform the staff into a serpent. Just as Moses raised the serpent upon the staff, and it became the staff itself, so too, what we need is to raise the staff within ourselves. The result of the staff is the inner Christ. We must raise him within ourselves; raising him is creating the higher existential bodies of the Being. We have to experience everything here. Incarnating the inner Christ, he comes to live in this world and is persecuted and grows as a man among men and suffers all temptations. Very laborious. He has to take charge of all our mental, volitional, emotional, sexual, and all other functional processes. And He becomes man, for He manages to overcome all darkness, eliminate the ego, and triumph within Himself. He is worthy of all glory; the Lord is the Savior. Therefore, He is worthy of all honor. Before Him, the twenty-four Elders—the twenty-four parts of our deep inner Being—and the four Saints—the four higher parts of our Being related to the four elements—all cast their crowns at the feet of the Lamb, for He alone is worthy of all honor and glory. And that blood of His, whose blood is fire, is the Lamb who is sacrificed, living within us. He sacrifices Himself completely. He becomes an ordinary man and struggles with temptations, desires, thoughts, with everything.
And no one recognizes Him until He triumphs. That is why it is said: Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
That is Esoteric Gnostic Christianity, but properly understood. So He is the Savior, the one who saves us. He redeems us through Fire, for He Himself is the spirit of fire that needs an alabaster vessel as a receptacle to manifest Himself. That receptacle is the pure gold bodies that one must create.
Understanding this is formidable because one arrives and enters where one must arrive, that is, become a Solar Man, a real Man, the Christ Man. Therefore, one must fight to the death, against everything and everyone. Against oneself, against Nature, against everything that opposes one, until one triumphs. Until one triumphs! And becomes the Solar Man, the Christ Man.
This is not a matter of evolution, it is not a matter of involution, this is a matter of profound inner revolution. This goes beyond the dogma of evolution and involution; this belongs to the Great Work, and this is therefore revolutionary.
—Master Samael, does it depend on the will?
Of course, the will. Birth is a matter of will; one must dedicate one's entire life to the Great Work. Until this is achieved, until one becomes a Sun Man. That is what the Sun wants; he wants a harvest of Sun Men; that is what interests the Sun. Therefore, we must cooperate with the Sun until we become Sun Men. What he wants is a harvest of Sun Men; that is what interests him.
