CHAPTER XXVI
THE EVENT OF GOLGOTHA
The radiant ascent of the Seventh Venustian Serpent—inward and upward along the spiritual, medullary, and spinal channel of the Divine vehicle (ATMAN)—allowed me to experience the event of Golgotha.
Undeniably, I must confess—frankly and without equivocation—the concrete, clear, and definitive fact that I found myself transformed into the central figure of the “Cosmic Drama.”
To experience within oneself the cosmic event of Calvary—with all the raw, transcendental realism of the “World of the Divine Spirit” (ATMAN)—is truly extraordinary.
I am not the first to experience the event of the Mount of Skulls, nor shall I be the last...
And, following the crucifixion, I found myself lying like a corpse upon the “slime of the earth.”
Then the potential Shakti—the Divine Spouse of Shiva, my perfect MOTHER KUNDALINI—prostrated herself before me with infinite humility and worshipped me...
“Oh, my Mother!” I exclaimed. “You are my Mother! I am the one who should kneel before you! It is not right for you to kneel before me! I do not deserve this! I am but a vile worm from the mire of the earth.” a sinner, an unworthy one...
Yet, it is evident that in such moments of the “Cosmic Drama,” I represented the CHRISTUS, VISHNU, the Second LOGOS, the SON...
As I write these pages, there comes to mind that ineffable prayer by Dante Alighieri, which reads:
“Virgin Mother, Daughter of your Son, the humblest and yet the highest of all creatures, the fixed goal of the Eternal Will—you are the one who has so ennobled human nature that its Creator did not disdain to become His own handiwork.”
“Within your womb, love was kindled, the warmth of which has caused this flower to blossom in Eternal Peace.”
“Here, for us, you are the meridian Sun of Charity, and below, for mortals, a living fountain of hope.”
“You are so great, O Lady, and of such worth, that whoever desires to obtain a Grace yet does not turn to you, seeks to have his desire fly without wings.”
“Your benevolence not only aids those who implore you, but often anticipates the plea itself. In you are gathered mercy, compassion, magnificence, and all that is good within any creature.” (Unquestionably, every Being possesses its own original, particular, individual Divine Mother KUNDALINI.)
“And so, he who—from the deepest abyss of the universe to this very point—has beheld, one by one, all spiritual existences, beseeches you to grant him the grace to attain such virtue that he may lift his eyes toward the supreme salvation.” “And I, who have never desired to see more than I wish for him to see, direct all my prayers to you—and I implore you that they may not be in vain—so that you may dispel, with your own, all the mists arising from his mortal condition, allowing him to behold, in full clarity, the supreme delight.”
“Furthermore, I beseech you—Oh Queen, whose power is as vast as your will—to keep his affections pure, even after such profound vision; may your guardianship prevail over the impulses of human passion.”
Thus concludes this sublime prayer from Dante; let us now return to the subject of this chapter and examine some verses concerning the Christ...
“The governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the praetorium and gathered the whole cohort around him.”
“And, stripping him, they draped a scarlet cloak over him.” (The Philosopher’s Stone is first black, then white, and finally red.)
“And they placed upon his head a crown woven of thorns—a classic, sorrowful diadem found in every Christified astral being—and a reed in his...”...right hand—like the Rod of Aaron or the Staff of the Patriarchs, a living symbol of the spinal column—and, kneeling before Him, they mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
“And after they had mocked Him—for such is this path of Sex—they stripped Him of the cloak—because they, the dark ones, never want the Initiate to wear the purple of his INTIMATE Logos—and they dressed Him in His own garments and led Him away to be crucified.”
“And as they were coming out, they found a man of Cyrene named Simon; him they compelled to carry His Cross.” (The Guru always appears on the path to help us.)
“And when they arrived at the place called Golgotha, which means the place of the Skull.” (A synonym for death.)
“They gave Him vinegar to drink, mixed with gall; but when He tasted it, He would not drink it.” (It is evident that the path of the razor’s edge is very bitter.)
“And after they had crucified Him (with a Sexual Cross, for the PHALLUS inserted into the UTERUS forms such a most sacred sign), they divided His garments among themselves by casting lots.” (A clear allusion to the elimination of human possessions.)
“And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.”
“And they placed above His head the written charge against Him: INRI.” “IGNIS NATURA RENOVATUR INTEGRAM” (Fire Incessantly Renews Nature).
“Then two thieves were crucified with him, one on the right and the other on the left.” (The ‘good thief’ represents the divine, secret power that appropriates sexual energy for the purpose of ‘Christification.’ The ‘bad thief’ represents the secret enemy who, for evil ends, plunders the reservoir of Sexual Hydrogen B-12.)
“And those who passed by (the profane—the perennial profaners) hurled insults at him, shaking their heads.”
“And they said, ‘You who destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days’—you who annihilate the ‘Adam of sin’ so that the ‘Celestial Adam’ may be born—‘save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the Cross’—for we, the dark ones, despise the presence of the transverse beam that forms your outstretched arms—vast hands reaching out to drive away sinister forces and inferior powers.”
“In the same way, the chief priests—the authorities—along with the scribes (the intellectuals), the Pharisees (who always boast of being virtuous and holy), and the elders (highly respected figures in the world), mocked him, saying:” “He saved others, yet he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the Cross now”—let him abandon the ‘Path of the Razor’s Edge’ and the ‘Sahaja Maithuna’—“and we will believe in him.”
“He trusted in God; let God deliver him now, if He desires, for he has claimed: ‘I am the Son of God.’” —He attained ‘Christification’ and, in doing so, became a Son of the Eternal. We, however, are children of the Devil, for we are the fruit of fornication. “And from the sixth hour (of temptation), darkness fell over the whole Earth until the ninth hour” (the Ninth Sphere). Adding these together kabalistically, we get 9 plus 6, which equals 15. This is the Arcanum of Typhon-Baphomet: the Devil. This esoteric value corresponds to the Constellation of the Whale (Cetus), under whose cosmic influence the Initiate develops until achieving resurrection. Let us recall the Sign of Jonah.
“And about the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying: ‘Eli, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?’—which means: ‘My God, why have You forsaken Me?’” —Ostensibly, before the resurrection, every Initiate truly feels forsaken.
“And some of those standing there, hearing this, said: ‘This man is calling for Elijah.’” (Helias, Elihu, Elijah, Helios—the Solar Christ, the INTIMATE Logos, the object of our supreme aspiration.)
“And immediately, one of them ran, took a sponge, soaked it in vinegar, placed it on a reed (a symbol of the spinal column), and offered it to Him to drink”—as if to say: the work with the sexual, spinal fires is more bitter than gall.
“But Jesus, having cried out once more with a loud voice, gave up His Spirit.” (This is how we, as Initiates, die within ourselves death on a cross). (See my book titled: *The Mystery of the Golden Flowering*).
“And behold, the veil of the temple—the famous Veil of Isis, or the Adamic Sexual Veil, which is the product of original sin—was rent in twain——and the earth quaked, and the stones (of the Path of the Razor’s Edge) split apart.”
CHAPTER XXVII
THE HOLY SEPULCHER
It is written in characters of fire in the *Book of Splendors* that when Jesus—the Great Gnostic High Priest—breathed his last, the philosophical earth—his very human person—trembled upon realizing the arduous task that destiny had in store for him; and the stones of “the Path of the Razor’s Edge” split apart, rendering the path even more difficult. (This is fully understood only by those Masters who, having died unto themselves, are preparing for the resurrection.)
Mercury, as an astrological planet, is far more mysterious than Venus itself; it is identical to the Mithra of the Mazdeans, to the Buddha, to the Genius or God established between the Sun and the Moon—the perpetual companion of the Sun of Wisdom.
Pausanias, in his fifth book, reveals that Mercury shared an altar with Jupiter. He was depicted with wings to signify that he assisted the Sun in its course, and he was known as the Messenger and the Wolf of the Sun: *Solaris Luminis Particeps* (“Participant in the Solar Light”). “He was the Leader and the summoner of Souls, the Archmage, and the Hierophant.” Virgil describes him taking up his Caduceus—or Hammer—to summon back to life those unfortunate souls cast into Orcus, or Limbo: “Tum virgam capit, hac animas ille evocat Orco”—with the noble purpose of inducting them into the Celestial Militia.
In light of these explanations, the following verses become clear:
“And the graves were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had been sleeping in Orcus, or Limbo, arose.”
“And coming out of the graves, after their esoteric resurrection, they entered the holy city—the Jerusalem above—and appeared to many.”
Undoubtedly, many saints have sought to attain intimate self-realization without the Holy Sacrament of the Church of Love (Sahaja Maithuna).
Such unfortunate souls invariably fall into the Orcus, or Limbo, of ignorance, darkness, and pain...
Only by dying to oneself—with the death of the cross (a symbol that is entirely sexual)—is resurrection possible...
If the seed does not die, the plant cannot be born. The Path of Life is formed by the hoofprints of the horse of death.
Mercury is the Golden Planet—the ineffable one, whose name the Hierophants forbade to be spoken—symbolized in Greek mythology by the famous hounds that guard the celestial cattle, which drink from the purest springs of Occult Wisdom...
Mercury is also “HERMES-ANUBIS,” the benevolent inspirer, or *Agathodaemon*. Like the bird of Argos, he keeps watch over the Earth—which mistakenly takes him for the Sun itself—as they correspond, respectively, to the Hindu *Sarama* and *Sarameya*.
The Emperor Julian would pray every night to the Hidden Sun, through the intercession of Mercury; for, as Vossius states: “All theologians affirm that Mercury and the Sun are one...” This is why he was considered the most eloquent and wise of the gods—which is hardly surprising, given that Mercury stands so close to Wisdom and the Word (or *Logos*) that he was often conflated with both...
“Mercury is the THIRD LOGOS—SHIVA, THE HOLY SPIRIT—the Firstborn of creation, our own authentic, particular, individual Monad...”
O Holy Gods! How sad the fate of the Saints in LIMBO would be if Mercury were to abandon them...
Mercury, SHIVA, Great Hierophant, Nuncio, and Wolf of the INTIMATE CHRIST—the supreme hope of those who sleep within the Holy Sepulcher...
I recognized the phallic sign in the “Barque of RA” while undergoing the Eighth Venustic Initiation; I then cried out in a loud voice: “When the first trumpet sounds, I shall rise from the dead.”
“Hail, O great Divinity, who sailest in your barque!
Transported here, I appear before you!”
“Let me ascend to the command deck and direct the maneuvering of the barque.”
LITELANTES felt a touch of sorrow upon beholding my Holy Sepulcher. “Do not fear,” a MAHATMA said to her, “his physical body shall not yet die.” These words brought her complete reassurance.
In that distant period of my current existence, I had not yet died unto myself; the Ego remained very much alive within me. The sepulcher was, at that time, merely symbolic—much like the coffin found in every Masonic Lodge...
I did, however, fully grasp the symbolism of the sepulcher; I knew that I had to die unto myself to earn the right to the resurrection of “HIRAM ABIFF”—the Secret Master—within the temple of my heart...
That Initiation concluded with precise instructions regarding the mission I am currently fulfilling in the world.
