THE COSMIC CHRIST AND HOLY WEEK
— The Cosmic Christ and the Historical Christ — Aelohim and Elohim — INRI — Conscious Observation —The Blessed Mother — The Three and Seven Steps of Freemasonry — The Three Traitors — The Meaning of the Twelve Apostles — The Mysteries of the Lingam Yoni — The Philosopher's Stone — The Ten Sephiroth — The Self of the Psychology —
First and foremost, it is necessary to fully understand what the "Cosmic Christ" truly is. It is urgent to know, in the name of truth, that Christ is not merely a historical figure.
Christ is not of time; Christ is timeless! Christ unfolds from instant to instant, from moment to moment. Christ Himself is the Sacred Fire, the Universal Cosmic Fire.
If we strike a match, fire will appear; scientists will say that fire is the result of combustion, but that is false. The fire that appears within the match is contained within the match; it is only through friction that we release it from its prison, and it emerges. We could say that fire itself is not the result of combustion; rather, combustion is the result of fire.
It is important to understand, my dear beloved ones, that what interests us most is the fire of fire, the flame of the flame, the astral signature of fire. The hand that moves the match so that the flame appears has fire, life, or else it could not move. After the match goes out, the flame continues to exist in the Fourth Vertical. Scientists do not know what fire is. They use it, but they do not understand it.
They also do not know what electricity is; they use it, but they do not understand it. Likewise, dear beloved ones, it is fitting that you understand what fire is. Before the Dawn of Creation vibrated intensely, fire made its appearance.
Remember, my dear brothers and sisters, that there are two ones: The First One is Aelohim! The Second One is Elohim! The First One is the Unmanifest! The Unknowable! The divinity that cannot be painted, symbolized, or carved. The second One springs from the First One! and is the Demiurge, Architect of the Universe, Fire.
I want you to understand that one is the fire that burns in the kitchen or on the altar, and the other is the fire of the spirit as Aelohim! or as Elohim! Elohim is therefore the Demiurge, the Army of the Voice, the Great Word. Each of the Builders of the Universe is a living flame, a living fire; it is written that God is a consuming fire.
Fire is Christ, the Cosmic Christ! Elohim, in himself, has sprung from Aelohim; Elohim, in himself, unfolds; he endures to initiate cosmic manifestation, in the Two, in his wife, in the Divine Mother, and when the One unfolds into Two, the Three arises, which is fire. The creatures of fire make Chaos fertile, so that life may arise. Whenever the One unfolds into Two, the Third appears, fire. Fire makes the waters of existence fertile; and then Chaos becomes the "Divine Androgene."
Thus it is fitting to understand that the Army of the Voice, the Army of the Word, is fire, and that this living fire, this living and philosophical fire that makes chaotic matter fertile, is the Cosmic Christ!, the "Logos," the Great Word. But for the Logos to appear, for it to come into manifestation, the One must unfold into the Two; that is to say, the Father unfolds into the Mother, and from the union of the two opposites the Third is born, Fire! This Fire is the Logos, the Christ that makes possible the existence of the Universe at the dawn of any creation.
It is fitting that we better understand what Christ is.
Christ is a reality from instant to instant, from moment to moment, from second to second; He is the Creator. Fire has the power to create atoms and to disintegrate them; the power to manipulate universal cosmic forces, etc. Fire has the power to unite all atoms and create universes, as well as the power to disintegrate universes.
So Christ is fire; that is why on the cross you will see the four letters: "INRI," which means: Ignis Natura Renovatur Integra, which is equivalent to "Fire ceaselessly renews nature."
Now I think you are beginning to understand why we are interested in the Astral Signature of fire, the flame of the flame, the occult, the esoteric aspect of fire. And the truth is that fire is Christic; it has the power to transform all that is, all that has been, and all that will be. "INRI" is what interests us; without "INRI," it is not possible for us to become Christified.
I was telling you that the Inner Christ, the Cosmic Christ, must take three steps: from above to below, through the Seven Regions of the Universe. I have also told you that Christ must take three steps, from below to above. Therein lies the mystery of the three steps and the seven steps of Freemasonry. It is a pity that the Masonic brethren have forgotten this; in any case, the Christ—the Logos—shines at the Zenith of the Spiritual Midnight, and each of these three positions is respected in the Seven Regions. The mystic who is guided by the Midnight Star, by the Spiritual Sun, knows what those three steps mean within the Seven Regions. We also think of the Sun, the lightning, and the fire; these are the three luminaries, the three aspects of the Logos, in the Seven Regions.
When the One unfolds into the Two, the Third arises, and this is fire, which creates and creates again. This Third can create with the power of the Word, with the Solar Word or the Magic Word, or the Word of the Central Sun. Thus the Logos creates!
It is through fire that we can become Christified; Christ will have been born in Bethlehem in vain if he is not also born in our hearts. He will have been crucified and died and risen in the Holy Land in vain if he is not also born, dies, and rises again in us.
We need to embody the Cosmic Christ, the spirit of fire, to make it flesh within us. Until we have done so, we will be dead to the things of the spirit; for He is life, He is the Logos, He is the Great Word... Heru Pakroat! He is Vishnu. The word Vishnu comes from the root "Vish," which means: to penetrate. He penetrates all that is, has been, and will be. We need Him to penetrate us so that He may radically transform us. Only through fire will we be able to annihilate the Ego. Whoever attempts to annihilate the Ego solely through intellect is on the path of error.
Obviously, we need to know ourselves if we wish to become Christ-like, and if we wish to know ourselves in order to achieve Christ-likeness, we need to observe ourselves, to see ourselves. Only through this path will it be possible to one day reach the disintegration of the Ego. The ego is the sum total of all our defects: anger, greed, lust, envy, pride, sloth, gluttony, etc., etc., etc. Even if we had a thousand tongues and a palate of steel, we wouldn't be able to fully list all our defects.
I was saying that we need to observe ourselves in order to know ourselves, because if we observe ourselves, we will discover our psychological defects, and we will be able to Work on them. When someone admits they have a psychology, they begin to observe themselves, and this effectively transforms them into a different being.
I want my dear Gnostic brothers and sisters to understand,
the need to learn to observe yourselves, to see yourselves. But you must know how to observe yourself; because there is a difference between mechanical observation and conscious observation.
Someone encountering our teachings for the first time might say: But what do I gain by observing myself? This is boring! I've seen that I have anger, I've seen that I have jealousy. So what? Of course, that's mechanical observation! We need to observe what is observed! I repeat, we need to observe what is observed! And this is already conscious observation of ourselves.
Mechanical self-observation will never lead us anywhere; it is absurd, unconscious, sterile. We need conscious self-observation. Only in this way can we truly know ourselves, to work on our defects.
If we feel anger at a given moment, let's observe what we observed—the scene of anger—it doesn't matter if we do it later, but let's do it, and by observing what we observed, what we saw in ourselves, we will truly know if it was anger or not, because it could have been caused by some nervous breakdown that we mistook for anger. If we were suddenly overcome by jealousy, well, let's observe what we observed; what did we observe? Perhaps that the woman was with another man! And if it's a woman, perhaps she saw her man with another woman! And she felt jealous. In any case, very serenely and in deep meditation, we will observe what we observed, to truly know if jealousy existed or not. By observing what we observed, we will do so through meditation and the evident self-reflection of the Being, thus the observation becomes conscious. When one becomes aware of such and such a psychological defect, one can work on it with fire. One would have to concentrate on Stella Maris, Tonantzin, Rhea, Cybele, Marah, etc. She is a part of our Being, but a derivative one.
She is the fiery serpent of our magical powers; the Sacred Cobra—burning fire—; she, with her flaming powers, will be able to disintegrate the psychological defect, the psychic aggregate that we have consciously observed in ourselves. And it is obvious that, in turn, the essence or fire bottled in the psychic aggregate that we disintegrate will shine forth—will be released—and as we disintegrate the aggregates, the percentages of essence that is Christic fire will multiply; and one day, the fire will shine forth within ourselves, here and now.
We need the fire to burn within us; only INRI, the sacred name inscribed on the cross of the Martyr of Calvary, can break the psychic aggregates. Those who attempt to disintegrate all these aggregates, disregarding the fire, are on the wrong path, and not only are they wrong, but they also lead others astray. It is said that the Crestos was born in the village of Bethlehem, the village of Bethlehem did not exist at that time. Bethlehem has a Chaldean root: Bel, and Bel means fire; the Tower of Fire of the Chaldeans.
In our body, the tower is the head and neck, because the rest of the body is the Temple. Whoever has managed to raise the fire above themselves; whoever can raise it to the head, to the brain, to the very top; in fact, they will be able to become the body of the "Crestos"—the fire—the spirit of fire. And it is the original, primordial spirit that can fully Christify us. It is the fire, "Fohat," burning within ourselves that will completely transform us; once the fire burns within us, we will be totally changed, we will be transformed into entirely different creatures, we will be transformed into distinct beings, and then we will enjoy enlightenment and of the cosmic powers. So with this understood, my dear ones, we must work with fire.
To him who knows, the word gives power, no one pronounced it, no one will pronounce it... but only the one who has him embodied.
The Christ — the spirit of fire — is not a merely historical character, he is the Army of the word, he is a force that It is beyond the personality, the Ego and individuality.
It is a force, like electricity, like magnetism, a power, a great cosmic and universal agent. It is the electrical force that can give rise to new manifestations. That cosmic fire enters the man who is properly prepared; in the man who has the Tower of Bethlehem burning.
When the Christ incarnates in a man he is radically transformed. It is the Child God that must be born in each creature. Just as he was born in the Universe millions of years ago, to fully organize this solar system, so he must also be born in each of us. He is born in the stable of Bethlehem, that is, among the animals of desire, among the psychological aggregates that he needs to break: because only fire can break such aggregates; Thus fire appears where those aggregates are to destroy them, to turn them into cosmic dust, and free the soul, the essence. How can he free the soul if he does not penetrate deeply into the human organism?
In the East, Christ is Vishnu, and I repeat; The root Vish means to penetrate; The fire, Christ, the Logos, can penetrate deeply into the human organism, to burn the dross that we have inside: but we need to love the fire, worship the flame.
The time has come to understand that only the "Fohat" can radically transform us. Christ within us operates breaking the roots of evil, “INRI” breaking the psychic aggregates is formidable, it reduces them to ashes. But we need to work with fire.
That is why in our concentration work we must invoke the fiery Serpent of our magical powers because only with fire can we break all the undesirable psychic elements that we carry within us. The lunar cold can never break the psychic aggregates; we need the flaming powers of the Logos. We need the “INRI” to transform ourselves.
My dear ones, understand what Holy Week is: and Holy Week has seven days.
In ancient times everything was governed by the solar calendar: Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
The days were: Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Unfortunately that calendar was altered by the fanatical medieval people.
Holy Week is deeply significant. Remember the seven and three steps of Freemasonry. The Christ must burn first of all, in our human body. Later the flame must be deposited in the depths of the soul. And finally, deep down in the spirit. These three steps through the Seven Spheres are deeply significant. Obviously these three basic, fundamental steps are contained in the Seven Spheres of the world and the Universe.
Unquestionably, Holy Week has very deep esoteric roots, because the initiate must work on the lunar forces, and on the forces of Mercury, and with the forces of Venus and the Sun, and Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. The Logos develops in Seven Regions and in accordance with the seven planets of the solar system.
The flame must appear in the physical body; then the Master will receive the Baptism of Fire, which will radically transform him.
Obviously, the entire Cosmic Drama, as written in the four Gospels, must be lived within ourselves, here and now. This is not merely historical; it is something to be lived here and now!
The three traitors who crucified Christ, who led him to death, are within ourselves; the Freemasons know them, the Gnostics know them too: Judas, Pilate, and Caiaphas. Judas is the demon of desire, who torments us. Pilate is the demon of the mind, who has excuses for everything. Caiaphas is the demon of ill will, who prostitutes the altar.
These are the three traitors who betrayed Christ for thirty pieces of silver. The thirty pieces of silver represent all the vices and passions of humanity... they exchange Christ for bottles in the tavern, they exchange Christ for the brothel, or for the Procrustean bed, they exchange Christ for money, for riches, for a sensual life; they sell him for thirty pieces of silver.
Dear ones, remember that multitudes of people demand the crucifixion of the Lord; all those multitudes cry out, "Crucifixion! Crucifixion!" Those people who demand the crucifixion of the Lord are within ourselves. I repeat, here and now! They are the inhuman psychic aggregates that we carry within us, all those undesirable psychic elements that we carry inside, the red demons of "Seth," the living personification of all our psychological defects. They are the ones who cry out: "Crucifixion!" Crucifixion! And the Lord is handed over to death: Who scourges him? Are they not all the multitudes we carry within us? Who spits on him? Are they not all those psychic aggregates that personify our defects? Who places the crown of thorns upon him? Are they not all those spawn of hell that we have created?
The event of Christ's story is not of yesterday, it is of now, it is present; not merely a past, as the enlightened ignoramuses believe. But those who understand will work for Christification.
The Lord is lifted up to Calvary and upon the majestic peaks of Calvary He will say: “Whoever believes in me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. I am the bread of life, I am the living bread. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. The Lord holds no grudges against anyone… Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” After this great word is spoken, nothing but lightning and thunder will be heard amidst great inner cataclysms. Once this work of the spirit in the body is accomplished, Christ, or the “Krestos,” the Christus, Vishnu, the one who penetrates, will be laid to rest in his mystical tomb.
And I tell you in the name of Truth and Justice, that on the third day, after this, after the third act, he will be raised up, resurrected in the Initiate to transform him into a perfect creature. Whoever achieves this will in fact become a God, terribly divine, beyond good and evil.
Thus Christ, Our Lord, the Spirit of Fire, descends; he wants to enter each of us to transform us, to save us, to break those psychic aggregates that we carry within us, to make us something different, to make us Gods.
We must learn to see Christ, not from a merely historical point of view, but as fire, as a present reality, as "INRI."
He had, it is said, twelve Apostles; these twelve Apostles are within ourselves, here and now. They are the twelve fundamental parts of our own Being; The twelve Powers within each of you, in your own deepest Inner Being...
There is a Peter, who understands the Mysteries of Sex. There is a John, who represents the Word, the Great Word! Heru Pa Kro At!
There is also a Thomas, who teaches us to manage the mind.
There is a Paul, who shows us the path of Wisdom, of philosophy, of Gnosis.
Within ourselves there is also Judas; not that Judas who betrays Christ for thirty pieces of silver! No! A different Judas, a Judas who fully understands the question of the Ego. A Judas whose Gospel leads us to the dissolution, of the ego.
There is a Philip who is able to teach us to travel outside the physical body, through space. There is an Andrew, who indicates to us with crystal precision what the three factors of the Revolution of Consciousness are:
Birth, that is, how the superior existential bodies of the Being are created.
Death, how the particular factors that relate to us, specifically and with each one of us, disintegrate the different psychic aggregates.
Sacrifice for humanity, the cross of Saint Andrew; Indicating the mixture of Sulfur and Mercury, so indispensable for the creation of the higher existential bodies of the Being, through the fulfillment of duty—Parlok—is profoundly significant.
Matthew, a scientist like no other, exists within us, teaching us pure science, unknown to scientists who only know all that rotten mess of university theories, fashionable today and obsolete tomorrow... Pure science is completely different! Only Matthew can instruct us in it.
Luke, with his Solar Gospel, is a prophet, and shows us what life will be like in the Golden Age.
Each of the Twelve is within ourselves, because our Being has twelve fundamental parts, the Twelve Apostles, here and now. Thus, those who wish to become magicians in the transcendental sense of the word must learn to relate to themselves, to each of the twelve parts of the Being; and this is only possible by burning the psychological aggregates with the "INRI" ,the psychological aggregates we carry within us. As long as the Ego exists within us, correct relationships with each and every part of our Being will be impossible.
But if we incinerate the Ego, then we can establish correct relationships with ourselves and with each of the Twelve who exist within us.
So get rid of the idea of the Twelve historical Apostles... Look for them within yourselves, they are there! Everything is within ourselves, here and now.
The time has come for a more esoteric, purer, more real Christianity. The time has come to move beyond the merely historical question and into the reality of the facts.
The very Cross of Calvary is profoundly significant. We know well that the vertical "Phalus," within the formal "Ecteis," forms a cross. In other words, we will emphasize by saying: "The Lingam-Yoni, correctly connected, forms a cross."
It is with this cross that we need to advance along the path that will lead us to the Golgotha of the Father; I invite you all to enter the path of Christification.
Do not forget that every time the Lord of Compassion comes into the world, He is hated by three kinds of men:
First, by the Elders, the people full of experience who say, "That man is crazy, look what he brings, don't listen to what he is saying, he doesn't agree with us, with what we think, we have experience, this man harms, he damages!"
Second, He is rejected by the Scribes, that is, by the intellectuals of the time. Every time the Lord of Glory has come into the world, intellectuals have opposed him. They hate him with a passion! Because he doesn't fit within their theories, he represents a danger to their system, to their sophistry, etc.
Third, the priests oppose him because they all see him as a danger to their respective sects.
So, in the name of Truth, I tell you that Christ is tremendously revolutionary! Rebellious! He is the fire that comes to burn away all the rottenness we carry within. He is the fire that comes to reduce to ashes our prejudices, our preconceptions, our vested interests, our abominations, and even our personal experiences.
Do you really believe that Christ could be accepted by So many millions of human beings who populate the world? They are mistaken! Every time he comes into the world, multitudes rise up against him; this is the stark reality.
I am speaking of Holy Week; I say in the name of Truth and Justice that only the "Fohat" burning within us can save us.
No theory, no system can lead us to liberation; those who try to break the Ego based on mere theories, with cold intellect, are merely reactionary beings! Conservatives! Retardants! And they march down the path of great error.
This Babylon that we carry within us, this psychological city that we bear inside, where the demons of anger, greed, lust, envy, pride, sloth, gluttony, etc., etc., live, must be destroyed with fire. We need to build the Heavenly Jerusalem within ourselves now. Remember that the foundations of the Heavenly Jerusalem are twelve.
And on each of them is written the name of an Apostle; the names of the Twelve Apostles are on the twelve foundations. We must build that Jerusalem within ourselves. But this will only be possible one day when we destroy Babylon the Great with fire—the mother of all the fornications and abominations of the Earth, the psychological city we carry within us. When we achieve this, we will build the Heavenly Jerusalem, here and now, within ourselves.
I repeat, the foundation of that Heavenly Jerusalem is the Twelve Apostles. I am speaking of the Twelve Apostles that exist within ourselves. The twelve self-aware and independent Parts of Being are the foundation of the Jerusalem that we must build within ourselves.
The city of Jerusalem has twelve gates, and at each of the twelve gates there is an angel, representing each of the Twelve within ourselves. And the twelve gates are: Twelve Precious Pearls, Twelve Gates of Freedom, Twelve Gates of Light and Splendor, Twelve Cosmic Powers. And the whole city is pure gold: its streets, its avenues, and its squares. The gold of the spirit that we must forge in the Cyclopes' forge.
The city has no need of external light, or external sun, for the Lord is its light, the fire; and He will burn within us. The wall of the great city measures one hundred and forty-four cubits. If we add those numbers together: one plus four plus four, we get nine—9—the Ninth Sphere, Sex, because only through the transmutation of creative energy can the fire within us burn.
The city measures twelve thousand stadia, reminding us of the twelve labors of Hercules, necessary to achieve the complete, intimate realization of Being. It also reminds us of the Twelve Aeons and the Twelve Apostles.
And in the center of the city is the Tree of Life, the Ten Sephiroth of the Hebrew Kabbalah: Kether, Chokmah, and Binah, with the Sephirotic crown: Chesed, Geburah, Tiphereth, Netzach, Hod, Yesod, and Malkuth, the Seven Regions of the Universe.
The Tree of Life allegorizes all the Twelve Great Cosmic Regions. Blessed is he who reaches the Thirteenth Aeon! Where Pistis Sophia must always be.
Within the Celestial Jerusalem we will also find the Twenty-Four Elders, who, prostrate on Earth, lay their crowns at the feet of the Lamb; that The slain Lamb is the fire that burns in this Universe, from the Dawn of Creation, from the sunrise of this Universe. The Twenty-Four Elders are also twenty-four parts of our own Being; and the Lamb itself is the Being of our Being.
Blessed is he who can feed on the fruits of the Tree of Life! For he will be immortal! Blessed is he who can feed on each of those fruits. He who can truly nourish himself with that current of life, which comes from the Thirteenth Aeon to the human body, for he will never know disease, and will become immortal.
But in order to nourish oneself with the Tree of Life, one will first need to have eliminated the Psychic Aggregates; remember that the Psychic Aggregates, the living personification of our errors, alter the vital body, and this altered body damages the physical body; This is how illnesses arise within us.
Illnesses are caused by the psychic aggregates or red demons of Seth, the living personification of our errors. When all the red demons of Seth have been annihilated by Fire, when our very personality has been burned away, then we will be nourished by the Tree of Life. Life, descending from the Absolute through the Thirteen Aeons, will penetrate our bodies and make us immortal; health will be restored, and illness will never return.
Scientists and all their sciences are useless for curing; if they cure, the patient will become ill again. It is clear that the Ego introduces the poison of its morbidities and rottenness into the organs and destroys them. Herein lies the origin of all diseases! People want a panacea to cure themselves, but as long as they have a living Ego, they will live sick.
The time has come to understand that we need to burn Babylon within ourselves and build Jerusalem.
The Heavenly Jerusalem, seen from afar, is like a jasper stone, transparent like crystal.
Blessed is he who obtains the Philosopher's Stone, for he will be radically transformed and will have power over fire, over air, over water, and over earth!
We need a pure, esoteric Christianity; a living Christianity, not a dead Christianity. A Gnostic Christianity that can radically transform us..
But as we are with the Ego alive, strong, and robust, we march down the path of error.
Samael Archangel: Red Christ of the Age of Aquarius.
We need to learn to love fire, and to truly work with the Mysteries of Fire.
