Esoteric torments of the fraternities of St. Andrew of the Thistle. Undoubtedly, the Cross X is the wonderful symbol of the death of all those inhuman elements which together constitute the ego, the self.

Allegorical torment of Saint Andrew, horrific tortures in the Ninth Sphere (sex region), remorse, Buddhist annihilation.

You can only create the Gold of the Spirit, or regenerate, annihilating all those buffoons, cripples, psychic aggregates that personify our defects.

The Blessed and sang, and cried, and worked with infinite patience in the forge of the Cyclops (sex).

"Largely cried and threw her chest deep sighs he stared at nuanced Mountain -... The Mountain of Resurrection- and he walked toward her- everywhere was wonderful wonders and leaving signs of their passage (As once made them the Great Kabir Jesus in the Holy Land.)

"Upon reaching the beach, he made a frame of snakes -for he had achieved the full development of the seven degrees of power of fire- and once formed -completely- sat on it and used it as a ship."

This reminds us of Gautama, the Buddha, sitting on a serpent at the foot of Bhodi Tree the extraordinary fig-tree, magnificent symbol of sexual potency.

It was raining and the water forming pool, pond, threatened to drown him, but Gautama sitting on the snake he used it as a boat.

The constants that we can glean from various texts speak of the igneous Serpent of our magical powers, the feminine aspect of the Hebrew Binah, the wife of Shiva, the Third Logos, the Holy Spirit. Our particular Cosmic Mother, who by eliminating the inhuman elements within us, save us from the stormy waters of life.

"The Blessed Lord QUETZALCOATL moved away, slipped into the waters-spermatic waters of the first instant - and nobody knows how he came to the place of red."

Unquestionably, the great Kabir Jesus also reached Earth red when he was dressed in purple, besides putting a crown of thorns.

Then they greeted ironically, saying: "-¡ Hail, King of the Jews!" "And they struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and kneeled to him bowing."

Indeed, it is in the sexual, erotic crucible where the raw material of the Great Work, as Christ suffers his passion. It is in the Ninth Sphere crucible where it dies to resurrect then purified, spiritualized, transformed.

In Chaldea, the Ziggurats, were usually three-floors towers whose category belonged to the famous Tower of Babel, were painted in three colors: black, white and purple-red.

To give an idea of ​​the extraordinary reach that in the hermetic Philosophy takes the symbolism of the colors of the Great Work, always note that depicts the Virgin dressed in blue (equivalent to black), white God and Christ in red.

In the sacred temples of ancient Egypt of the Pharaohs, when the newly elected member was about to suffer the trials of Initiation, a Master approached him and whispered in his ear this mysterious phrase: "Remember that Osiris is a black God!"

This is clearly the specific color of darkness, of shadows, the Devil, to whom always been offered black roses, and also the primitive Chaos where all the elements are mixed and confused completely. The symbol of the element earth, night and radical death of all those psychic aggregates which together constitute the myself.

Undoubtedly, as in the Hebrew Genesis, the day follows night, so light succeeds darkness.

Blessed are those who have been regenerated and washed in the Blood of the Lamb (sexual Fire), they are always dressed in white robes...

In the sacred land of the Pharaohs, Path, Regenerator, always wore white linen tunic to show the revival of pure, of those who have died in themselves.

For the systematic implementation of our point of view related to the colors of the raw material of the Great Work, it is urgent, and cannot be postpone to remind to the Gnostic students that before reaching the Land of the red color, Quetzalcoatl, the Mexican Christ, was able to use rightfully the yellow robe.

The White succeeds black, yellow to white and purple of the sacred Kings of the solar dynasties always succeeds to yellow...

When the Blessed came to Earth red color, he girded on his shoulders the divine kings purple and rose from the dead.

They say that then he saw himself in the water as in a mirror (the mirror of alchemy). His face was beautiful again (he returned to Lost Paradise). It is arrayed with the most beautiful clothes and having lit a fire, he threw himself into it (the sexual fire completely ended his psychological' Ego not remaining even his ashes). And the birds of rich plumage ( The Bird of the Spirit) came to see it burn: the linnet, the bird color turquoise, iridescent bird, the red and blue bird, the yellow gold and precious thousand more birds.

"When the fire stopped burning (accomplished the Great Work), his heart rose and he came to heavens. There he moved in star, and the star is the morning star and the twilight. Before it was down to the realm of the dead and after seven days there, rose up changed himself into star. "

The Initiator always presents the mirror of alchemy with one hand while the other holds the horn of Amalthea. Next it we see the Tree of Life so studied by the Hebrew Kabbalists. The mirror always symbolizes the beginning of the work, the Tree of Life indicates its end and the cornucopia the result.

Quetzalcoatl transformed the Devil, the raw material and crude stone, into Lucifer, the cornerstone of the Great Work, the Archangel of Light, the Star of Dawn.

The Devil, the reflection of our inner Logos, was the most excellent creature before we fell into animal generation. "Whiten the brass and burn your books" repeat to us all the Masters of the Hermetic Art.

The Blessed One, passing through the tortures of the Brothers of the Fraternity of the Thistle, blanked the Devil, he returned to his resplendent and primordial state.

Whoever dies in himself, here and now, frees Prometheus in chains and it pays more than for it is a colossus with authority over the heavens, on earth and hell.

Lucifer-Prometheus radically integrated with all parts of our Being, makes us something different, distinct, an exotic creature, an Archangel, a terribly Divine Powers...

It is worth remembering in this chapter when the holy women came to the tomb of the Savior of the world, instead of the man they had known, they saw an Angel covered with a white robe and were afraid...

It is written:

"He who overcomes, and keeps my works until the end, I will give authority over the nations."

"And he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and shall be broken like a potter's vessel, as I also have received from my Father."

"And I will give the morning star." (Venus-Lucifer)

Henry Khunrath, in his "Amphiteatrum Sapientae Aeternae" writes: "Finally, when the work has passed the ashy color to pure white and then to yellow, you will see the Philosopher`s Stone (the cited Archangel), our King,-the third Logos- risen above the rulers, who leaves his glass tomb, he rose from his bed and go to our worldly stage in his glorified body, that is, regenerated and pluperfect."

Say, to clarify that the term "Philosopher`s Stone" means, according to the holy tongue, "stone that bears the sign of the Sun". Now this solar sign is characterized by red color, which can vary in intensity.

An old alchemist says: "What we pursue with all philosophers, is not the union of a body and a metallic spirit but condensation, the agglomeration of this spirit into a coherent, tenacious and refractory envelope, able to tuck, to impregnate all parts and ensure effective protection."

"This soul, spirit, or gathered fire (properly mixed with Venus-Lucifer), concentrated and coagulated in the purest, strongest and most perfect of earthly matters, is what we call our stone."

"And we can certify that any enterprise that does not have this spirit by guide and to this matter by base, never lead to the proposed goal."
