This document provides an overview of Gnostic anthropology according to V.M. Saamael Aun Weor. It discusses key concepts in Gnosticism including gnosis as the enlightened knowledge of divine mysteries, the importance of self-knowledge or self-gnosis through dissolution of the ego, and how Gnosticism implies a coherent series of fundamental elements that can be verified through direct mystical experience, rather than intellectualism. It also touches on concepts like the creative powers, descent into hell and return to Eden as part of the Gnostic doctrine, and how Gnostic knowledge escapes normal rational analyses and depends on the self.
Being is the ontological essence of the human
person. The long and continuous process of self-identification, starting from the very beginning of the human
life aims at knowing the real Being. The phenomenology
of Being has been extensively studied, analyzed and
discussed in the fields of philosophy, psychology, ethics
and sociology in the course of the history of
self-knowledge.
ASTROLOGY’S UNIVERSAL PARADIGM: The One Universal Language (Part 2)William John Meegan
Astrology is in every sense a wholly mystical religious paradigm. It is the sine qua non of all religions that ever was, is or ever will be. Its innumerable mysteries cannot be fathomed by the human intellect.
This article is about the investigation into the origins of Astrology. Where did the idea of it come from and how and why did it span the globe in all religions? This article is part two of my studies on Astrology.
KNOW THYSELF: An Investigation into the Soul and the PsycheWilliam John Meegan
What is the Soul and What is the Psyche are questions that are never satisfactorily answered in the world at large. This paper endeavors to explain the different between these two diametrically different concepts and why each acts out as it does in the world. How does one lose his or her Soul?
This paper endeavors to show why the Sacred Scriptures of the world are analogous to the Soul or the Psyche that has no soul depending upon the spiritual mental acuity of the initiate. The Sacred Scriptures of the world teach the eternal spiritual laws that governs the Soul or the Psyche that has no Soul and it explains why neither the Soul nor the Psyche can escape those omnipresent spiritual laws.
Humans tend to believe because of the teaching of societal mores that the sacred scriptures are solely meant for spiritual purposes. I beg to differ. The sacred scriptures is a handbook on the Soul and the Psyche in all aspects of life both spiritual and material. The sacred scriptures are synonymously the Soul and the Psyche. The sacred scriptures is merely the concretizing, into the vernacular, the generic paradigm that governs the Soul and the Psyche: in other words this concretizing the generic paradigm that governs the Soul and the Psyche is bringing ORDER OUT OF CHAOS. Those living without knowledge of the sacred scriptures still are governed by it generic paradigm. Ask yourself why humanity is always inventing new technologies. Are not humans hardwired to do that? When this paper discusses Chartres Cathedral's labyrinth this concept will be discussed from a different perspective but nonetheless the generic paradigm become all too clear.

We here try to apply the concept of Possible/Parallel Worlds from Logic, which came to our knowledge through the hands of Graham Priest, and through a French movie, to Psychiatry. We think this concept is ideal because we can make use of mathematical elements to draw theories of control, and diagnosis, and therefore also therapeutic theories. We will make use of the new model of psyche proposed by us to expand on a few items. Perhaps the best use of this paper is empowering the professionals of Psychiatry, and Psychology by providing new tools for their studies, and work. The main focus is the human psyche. In order to explain the World of God, Inner Reality, and Outer Reality, which are divisions that are obtained from applying the concept of parallel worlds to the studies on the human psyche, we end up paying a light, and perhaps, an enlightening, visit to the concepts of schizophrenia, autism, Down Syndrome, and psychopathy.

THE CYCLES OF DIVINE CREATION & THE UNIVERSAL MATHEMATICAL MATRIXWilliam John Meegan
This article is about a system of Astrological Cycles: i.e. Cycles of Divine Creation, I discovered through meditation on the Judeao Christian Scriptures in the first and second chapters of Genesis initiated in January 1977. Over the past thirty-eight years, off and on, I have been working to put a conceptual understanding to these cycles. Finally, this article goes back to the genesis of my discovery up to the present article.
This paper is an attempt to demonstrate how the Soul's Two-Part Psyche: i.e. ego-consciousness and the unconscious mind creates the illusion of the outer world.
The MATRIX OF WISDOM is a commentary on the Soul: i.e. MONAD: God/Man Christ. This matrix is known all over the world by all religions and mystery schools. This matrix inexplicably teaches the psyche about itself and for the most part that is what this paper is about.
The scientific search for the soul began with the rise of spiritualism in the early decades of the nineteenth century, when the Fox sisters claimed to have communicated with the spirit realm. Despite all of man's "miraculous" high-tech advancements in these latter days of the Piscean Age, orthodox science has yet to adequately answer the question of the existence of the soul and its survival of bodily death.
The existence of the soul has not been academically and scientifically "confirmed" in the laboratory to the satisfaction of scholars from all fields of study; on the other hand, the non-existence of the soul has not been shown.
In Mysteries of the Soul, we will explore the ancient beliefs in regards to the soul. We will also examine religious and metaphysical viewpoints in regards to the purpose of the soul, the types of souls and soul culture. Is the soul immortal? These are the mysteries and occult secrets that have been purposely withheld from you. The time has been appointed for this 'forbidden' knowledge to shared and taught to the elect.

Who are we? If we are not a thing, what are we? Who is talking when I say “I”.
Is there any present-day approach to the self which takes into account the naturalistic claim without losing the self, its existence and its durability?
Is there any contemporary account of the self which let us defend the narrative and cultural production of the self without converting the self into a fake, into something strictly decided by others either culturally or evolutionarily.
A response to these challenges can be found by mixing a phenomenological and an hermeneutical approach.

"El cuerpo de Dios es el Cosmos. En este cuerpo rige la misma ley que
en el cuerpo humano... El hombre para vivir necesita de su estómago, de sus
pulmones, de su cerebro, etc. Las células del cerebro, indudablemente son más
nobles que las del estómago. Pero ¿qué sería de las células cerebrales, si las
estomacales no funcionaran perfectamente? ¿Qué sería del corazón si los
riñones no cumplieran con su tarea de purificar la sangre?
En mi búsqueda del sendero de Dios por la Gea, llegaron a mis magdus
Libros Gnósticos, busqué donde enseñaban esas sagradas enseñanzas y las
encontré, así bebí esas aguas de Sabiduría Divina que calmaron mi hambre y mi
sed espiritual, encontré las Doctrinas del Venerable Maestro Samael Aun Weor y
al igual que millones de sus discípulos, encontré el perdido sendero, porque
andábamos sin rumbo y como nos dice el Evangelio Krístiko, no veíamos el
camino ni al Maestro salvador, estábamos sordos, no oíamos la voz de nuestro
guía llamándonos siempre a su rebaño a su redil, estábamos paralíticos, por
estar petrificados y así no podíamos recorrer el Zen de Eros.
A continuación se va a entregar al mundo la
siguiente doctrina sobre el HIPERESPACIO, el
cual, es de especial controversia en los
científicos dedicados al estudio de la materia y
la energía, unos pocos intelectuales dicen
comprender las ciencias físicas, pero somos
consientes de que existen muchas dudas sin
resolver, y que además nos cuesta mucho
trabajo enseñar con claridad y sencillez las
ciencias que harían de este mundo, un mundo
con un Verdadero desarrollo científico
Consiente.
El publicar estas doktrinas es mi sentir y el inmenso amor que el Maestre
KELIUM ZEUS INDUSEUS siempre sintió y sentía por venir a salvar a los
perdidos, a los ciegos espirituales, a los paralíticos espirituales, a los sordos
espirituales, esa inmensa alegría que sentía el Maestre al dar doktrinas, y
contestar preguntas, ello me impulsó a entregarles estos eskritos con todo el
propósito de ayudar a las almas y a los buscadores de un Salvador y una
doktrina salvadora.
Por estos terribles días del KATUN 13 anunciado por los Maestros, profetas Mayas,
videntes, etc. a finales del 2.010 e inicios del 2.011, 2.012, 2.013, corre por los lomos de
nuestro mundo la profecía de LA DESGRACIA DE LA ABOMINACION DESOLADORA.
Considero urgente escribir sobre los perjudiciales efectos de LA ABOMINACION
DESOLADORA, y lo que he investigado. Una noche viajando en astral por las ciudades de
diferentes países veía un aura negra sobre ellas, una voz me dijo es LA ABOMINACION
DESOLADORA, desperté con esa interrogante ¿por qué esa aura negra de las ciudades era
LA ABOMINACION DESOLADORA?
These doctrines started around 1.984 and it has being projected to 2016, year of the
double Fulminated Tower, stay alert.....I wrote the book and I was ready to publish it, due to
the great importance that the world knew about the
cartoons and its toxics effects on children
and people, is one of the greatest clarifying doctrines to the suffering humanity about the
demons that keep them subjugated, chained, prisoner, blinded and dumb, the most serious is
that it affect children who
are the future of human race and the people, parents love their kids
above all and themselves are the ones who provide the murder weapon called cartoons,
comics, etc to the children, to their helpless physical, materials, intangible, psychic and

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

1. GNOSTIC ANTHROPOLOGY 1
V.M. SAMAEL AUN WEOR
GNOSTIC ANTHROPOLOGY
Since Gnostic studies have progressed extraordinarily in recent times, no
cultured person would fall today, as in the past, into the simplistic error of making
the Gnostic currents arise from any exclusive spiritual latitude.
Although it is true that in any Gnostic system we must take into account its
Eastern Hellenistic elements, including Persia, Mesopotamia, Syria, India,
Palestine, Egypt, etc., we should never ignore the Gnostic principles perceptible
in the sublime religious cults of the lndo-American Nahuas, Toltecs, Aztecs,
Zapotecs, Mayas, Chibchas, Incas, Quechuas, etc, etc, etc.
Talking quite frankly and straightforwardly, we will say: Gnosis is a very natural
function of the Consciousness, a "Philosophia Perennis et Universalis".
Unquestionably, Gnosis is the enlightened knowledge of Divine Mysteries that
are reserved for an elite
The word "Gnosticism" contains within its grammatical structure the idea of
systems or currents devoted to the study of Gnosis.
This Gnosticism implies a coherent, clear, precise series of fundamental
elements that can be verified through direct mystical experience:
• Damnation, from a scientific and philosophic point of view.
• The Adam and Eve of the Hebraic Genesis.
• The Original Sin and the fall from Paradise.
• The Mystery of Nahuatl-Lucifer.
• The Death of the Myself.
• The Creative Powers.
• The essence of the SALVATOR SALVANDUS.
• The Sexual Mysteries.
• The Inner Christ.
• The Igneous Serpent of Our Magical Powers.
• The Descent into Hell.
• The return to Eden.
The Gift of Mephistopheles.
Only the Gnostic doctrines that entail the above mentioned ontological,
theological and anthropological bases are part of the genuine Gnosticism
Pre-Gnostic is that which shows in a concrete, evident and specific way any trait
that may also be detected in Gnostic systems, but in which this aspect is
integrated into a conception entirely alien to revolutionary Gnosticism. It is a
thinking which certainly is not and yet is Gnostic.
Protognostic is any Gnostic system in an incipient, germinal state; these are
movements directed by an attitude very similar to the one that characterizes
definite Gnostic currents.

2. GNOSTIC ANTHROPOLOGY 2
V.M. SAMAEL AUN WEOR
The adjective Gnostic can and even must be applied intelligently to conceptions
that are related in one way or another to Gnosis or to Gnosticism
Undoubtedly, the term "Gnosticizing" is very close to Pregnostic in its meaning,
for it is truly related, 'stricto sensu', to intrinsic aspects that bear certain similarity
with Universal Gnosticism, but which are integrated in a current not defined as
Gnosis.
Having these semantic explanations firmly established, now let us define
Gnosticism absolutely crystal-clear.
It is not superfluous to clarify emphatically in this treatise that Gnosticism is a
very intimate, natural and profound religious process; authentic in-depth
esoterism, unfolding from instant to instant, with very individual mystical
experiences and with its own Doctrine and rites.
It is an extraordinary doctrine that fundamentally takes a mythical and sometimes
mythological form.
It is ineffable Magical Liturgy with vivid illustration for the Self's Superlative
Consciousness,
Unquestionably, Gnostic knowledge always escapes the analyses that are
normal in subjective rationalism.
The correlate of this knowledge is the person's infinite intimacy, the Self.
The Self’s reason to be is the same Self. Only the Self can know Itself. The Self,
therefore, becomes Self-Known in Gnosis.
The Self, reevaluating and knowing itself, is Self-Gnosis; undoubtedly, the latter
is in itself the Gnosis.
The Self's Self-Knowledge is a supra-rational movement that depends on the
Self, and which has nothing to do with intellectualism.
An impassable abyss exists between the Self and the "I" (Ego). That is why the
Pneuma, the Spirit, re-cognizes itself and this recognition is an autonomous act,
for which the intellectual mammal's subjective reason turns out to be ineffective,
insufficient, terribly poor.
Self-Knowledge, Self-Gnosis, implies annihilation of the "I", as previous, urgent
and unpostponable work.
The I, the Ego, is made up of additions and subtractions of subjective elements,
inhuman and beastly, which unquestionably have a beginning and an end.
Unfortunately, the Essence, the Consciousness, is immersed, trapped, bottled up
inside the diverse elements that make up the Myself", the Ego, and processes
itself painfully according to its own conditioning.
The Essence, the Consciousness, awakens, becomes enlightened, is liberated
through dissolution of the 'I'; then, as a consequence or corollary, comes Self-
Knowledge, Self-Gnosis.
Undoubtedly, legitimate revelation has its irrefutable bases in Self-Gnosis.
Gnostic revelation is always immediate, direct, intuitive, it radically excludes
www.gftaognosticaespiritual.org
GRAN BIBLIOTECA VIRTUAL ESOTERICA ESPIRITUAL
3. GNOSTIC ANTHROPOLOGY 3
V.M. SAMAEL AUN WEOR
subjective intellectual operations, it has nothing to do with experiencing and
assembling data that are fundamentally sensory.
Although it is true that intelligence or 'Nous', in its Gnosiological sense, can be
the basis of enlightened intellection, it categorically refuses to fall into vain
intellectualism
The Ontological, Pneumatic or Spiritual characteristics of "Nous" (Intelligence)
are perfectly clear and evident.
In the name of Truth, I solemnly declare that the Self is the only real existence,
before whose transparency, ineffable and terribly Divine, this that we call I, Ego,
Myself, is just outer darkness, wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Self-Gnosis, or the Self’s Self-Gnostic recognition, given the Anthropological
versant of the Pneuma or Spirit, comes to be decisively an element of Salvation.
Knowing oneself is having achieved identification with one's own Divine Self.
To know that you are identical to your own Pneuma or Spirit, to experience
directly the identification of cognizance with the cognizant, is what we can and
must define as Self-Gnosis.
Ostensibly, this extraordinary disclosure invites us to die in ourselves so that the
Self manifests itself in us.
On the contrary, to move away from the Self, to continue as Ego within the
Heresy of Separateness, means to condemn us to submerged Involution in the
"Hell-Worlds".
This evident reflection leads us to the topic of Gnostic "Free Choice".
Unquestionably, a serious Gnostic is a chosen one a posteriori.
With the Gnostic experience, the sincere devotee can entirely achieve both
knowledge of himself (or herself) and Self-Realization.
Self-Realization should be understood as the harmonious development of all the
infinite human possibilities.
It is neither a matter of intellectual data distributed capriciously or of mere
insubstantial talk in an ambiguous chat.
Everything we are saying in these paragraphs should be appreciated as genuine
experience, real and vivid.
In the Gnostic currents, the Dogma of Orthodox predetermination - which would
bind us miserably within a narrow conception of the Anthropomorphic Deity -
does not exist.
God is Theos in Greek, Deus in Latin and div or deva in Sanskrit, a word that
translates as "angel" or "angels".
Even among the most conservative Semitic peoples, the most ancient God of
light --"EL" or "ILU" - appears (in the first chapters of the Genesis) in its synthetic
plural form of ELOHIM.
GOD is not any Human or Divine individual in particular, God is Gods. It is the
"Army of the Voice", the "Great Word", the "Word" in the Gospel of Saint John,
www.gftaognosticaespiritual.org
GRAN BIBLIOTECA VIRTUAL ESOTERICA ESPIRITUAL
4. GNOSTIC ANTHROPOLOGY 4
V.M. SAMAEL AUN WEOR
The Creator Logos, Perfect Multiple Oneness.
To know and realize oneself on the horizon of infinite possibilities implies to join
or rejoin the 'Creative Host of the ELOHIM'.
And this is the Gnostic's certainty, the Self has disclosed itself completely to him
(or her) and its marvelous splendor radically destroys any illusion.
The opening of the Pneuma or Divine Spirit of man has total soteriological
content.
If we have the Gnosis of the Great Ancient Mysteries, it is because some very
holy men managed - thanks to their doctrinal loyalty - to approach the Self's
revealing dynamism.
Without previous information on Gnostic Anthropology, it would be more than
impossible to study rigorously the different anthropological pieces of the Aztec,
Toltec, Maya, Egyptian cultures, etc, etc, etc.
In matters of profane anthropology (excuse me for the similarity), if we want to
know the results, let us leave a monkey, or an ape, completely free in a
laboratory and then watch what happens.
Mexican codices, Egyptian papyri, Assyrian bricks, Dead Sea scrolls, strange
parchments, as well as certain very ancient temples, sacred monoliths, old
hieroglyphs, pyramids, millenary sepulchres, etc, in their symbolic depth, offer a
Gnostic sense that definitively escapes literal interpretation and which has never
had an exclusively intellectual explanatory value.
Speculative rationalism miserably impoverishes Gnostic language instead of
enriching it, since the Gnostic accounts, whether written texts or artistic allegories
under any form, are always directed toward the Self.
And it is in this extremely interesting 'Semi-Philosophic' and 'Semi-Mythological'
language of Gnosis that a series of extraordinary invariants appear, symbols with
a transcendental esoteric content, which silently say a lot.
Divines and humans know well that silence is wisdom's eloquence.
The characteristics that clearly specify the 'Gnostic Myth', and which mutually
complement each other, are the following:
1. - The Supreme Divinity.
2. - Emanation and fall of the Pleroma
3. - Architect Demiurge.
4. - Pneuma in the World.
5. - Dualism.
6. - The Saviour.
7. - The Return.
The Gnostic Supreme Divinity can be characterized as "Agnostos Theos", the
Absolute Abstract Space, the Unfathomable or Unknown God, the One Reality
from which the Elohim emanate at the dawn of any universal creation.
It should be remembered that Paranishpana is the Summum Bonum -- the
www.gftaognosticaespiritual.org
GRAN BIBLIOTECA VIRTUAL ESOTERICA ESPIRITUAL
5. GNOSTIC ANTHROPOLOGY 5
V.M. SAMAEL AUN WEOR
Absolute -- and, therefore, the same as Paranirvana.
Later on, all that seemingly exists in this Universe will come to have real
existence in the state of Paranishpana.
Unquestionably, the human cognition faculties would never be able to go beyond
the Cosmic Empire of the Female-Male Logos, The Creator Demiurge, The Army
of The Voice (The Word).
JAH-HOVAH, the secret "Father-Mother" of each of us, is the authentic Jehovah.
JOD, as a Hebrew letter, is the "membrum virile" (the masculine principle). Eve,
Heve, the same as Hebe, the Greek Goddess of Youth and Heracle's Olympic
Bride, is the "Yoni", the Divine Chalice, the Eternal Feminine.
The Divine Rabbi of Galilee, instead of worshipping the anthropomorphic
Jehovah of the Jews, adored his Divine Male-Female (Jah-Hovah), the inner
Father-Mother.
The Blessed One, crucified on the Mount of the Skull, cried with a Great Voice
saying: "Father, into thy hands I commend my Spirit". Ram-Io, Isis, his Divine
Mother Kundalini, accompanied him along the Via-Crucis.
All nations have their first God, or Gods, as Androgynous; it could not be in any
other way, since they used to consider their distant primal ancestors, their
double-sex forebears, as Divine Beings and Holy Gods, just as the Chinese do
today.
Indeed, the artificial conception of an anthropomorphic Jehovah who is
exclusivist, independent of his own work, sitting up there on a throne of tyranny
and despotism, throwing lightning and thunder onto this miserable ant's nest of
humans; is the result of ignorance, mere intellectual idolatry.
This erroneous conception of the Truth has unfortunately taken possession of
both the western philosopher and the religious person who is affiliated to any one
sect completely lacking in Gnostic elements.
What the Gnostics of all times have rejected is not the unknown God, One and
always present in Nature, or Nature In abscondito, but the God of Orthodox
Dogma, the horrific Vengeful Deity of the Law of Talion (an eye for an eye, a
tooth for a tooth).
The Absolute Abstract Space, the Unknowable God, is neither a limitless void nor
a conditioned fullness, but both things at once.
The Gnostic esotericist accepts revelation as coming from Divine Beings, the
Manifested Lives, but never from the One Life Unapparent.
The Unknowable Deity is the Absolute Abstract Space, the rootless Root of all
that has been, is, or has to be.
This Infinite and Eternal Cause is, of course, devoid of any kind of attributes, it is
negative light, negative existence, beyond the reach of any thought or
speculation.
Valentin's Gnostic Myth, that specifically shows us the Thirty Pleromatic Aeons,
www.gftaognosticaespiritual.org
GRAN BIBLIOTECA VIRTUAL ESOTERICA ESPIRITUAL
6. GNOSTIC ANTHROPOLOGY 6
V.M. SAMAEL AUN WEOR
mysteriously emerging from the Absolute Abstract Space in successive
emanations, ordered in perfect couples; can and must serve as archetypal model
of a Monistic Myth that in a more or less obvious form is present in every definite
Gnostic system.
This transcendental point of the First Progeny (Proto-prole), is classically
oriented towards a ternary division of the Divine: The Agnostos Theos (The
Absolute), The Demiurge, The Father, etc.
The Divine World, the glorious domain of the Pleroma, came out directly from the
Negative Light, the Negative Existence.
Finally the Nous, Spirit or Pneuma, contains in itself infinite possibilities that can
unfold during (the cosmic) manifestation.
In between the extraordinary limits of Philosophy's To Be and Not To Be, there
was produced the multiplicity or fall.
The Gnostic Myth of the Fall of Sophia (Divine Wisdom), allegorizes solemnly
this terrible disruption in the bosom of the Pleroma.
Desire, fornication, to want to stand out as Ego, brings about disaster and
disorder, it produces an adulterated work that undoubtedly is left outside the
divine realm, even though in it remains trapped the Essence, the Buddhata, the
human creature's Psychic Material.
The impulse towards the Unity of Life, free in its motion, can become diverted
towards the I and in the separation forge a whole world of bitterness.
In all ancient nations, the fall of degenerate man is the basis of Theology.
According to Philolaus, the Pythagorean (fifth century BC), ancient philosophers
used to say that the Psychic Material, the Essence, was buried in the I, like a
tomb, as punishment for some sin.
Plato testifies to this: that such was the Orphic's Doctrine, and he himself
professed it.
Inordinate desire, disruption in the regime of emanation, leads to failure.
To want to distinguish us as Ego, always sparks off disorder and the fall of any
angelic rebellion.
The author of the world of shapes, is actually a mystical group of Male-Female
Creators or Double Gods, such as Tlaloc, the God of rain and lightning, and his
wife Chachiuhtlicue, She of the Jade skirt, in the Pantheons of the Mayas,
Aztecs, Olmecs, Zapotecs, etc, etc, etc.
In the word Elohim, we find a transcendental key that invites reflection.
Certainly, Elohim is translated as God in the various authorized and revised
versions of the Bible.
Not only from the esoteric point of view, but also linguistically, it is an
uncontrovertibly fact that the term Elohim is a feminine noun with a plural
masculine ending.
The correct translation of the noun Elohim in its strict sense is Goddesses and

Gods.
"And the Spirit of the Male and Female Principles was hovering over the surface
of what was shapeless, and creation took place".
Unquestionably, a religion without Goddesses is halfway towards complete
Atheism.
If we truly want perfect balance in psychic life, we need to worship Elohim (The
Gods and Goddesses of ancient times), and not the Anthropomorphic Jehovah
rejected by the Great Kabir Jesus.
The idolatrous cult of the anthropomorphic Jehovah instead of Elohim, is
certainly a powerful impediment to achieving supra-normal conscious states.
Instead of laughing skeptically --as profane anthropologists do-- before the
depictions of Gods and Goddesses of the diverse Pantheons, Aztec, Maya,
Olmec, Toltec, Inca, Chibcha, Druidic, Egyptian, Hindu, Chaldean, Phoenician,
Mesopotamian, Persian, Roman, Tibetan, etc, etc, etc, Gnostic anthropologists
drop to our knees at the feet of those Divinities, because we recognize in them
the Elohim Creator of the Universe. 'He who laughs at what he does not know, is
on his way to become an idiot.'
The deviation from the Creator Demiurge, the antithesis, what is fatal, is the
inclination to Egoism, the real origin of so much bitterness.
Undoubtedly, the egotistical consciousness is identified with Jahve who,
according to Saturninus of Antioch, is a fallen Angel, the Genie of evil.
The Essence, the Consciousness, bottled up in the I, painfully processes itself
within time, by virtue of its own conditioning.
The situation --certainly not very pleasant-- incessantly repeated in the Gnostic
accounts of the 'Pneuma' cruelly submitted to the powers of the Law, to the
World and to the Abyss, is too evident to insist on it here.
It is evident that the "Intellectual Mammal" mistakenly called Man is too feeble
and disconcertingly helpless to rise from the mire of the earth without Divine aid.
There is a vulgar proverb that goes like this: God helps those who help
themselves, that is, praying to God and working hard.
Only the Igneous Ray, imperishable, hidden in the cold, dark and shapeless
substance, can reduce the Psychological I to cosmic dust in order to free the
Consciousness, the Essence.
We declare with ardent words: only Divine Breath can reinstate us in the Truth,
nevertheless, this is only possible by conscious work and voluntary suffering.
Specific possession of Gnosis is always accompanied by a certain attitude of
strangeness or surprise at this illusory Mayavic World.
Genuine Gnostics want a definitive change, they feel intimately the Self's secret
impulses, hence their anguish, rejection and embarrassment at the diverse
inhuman elements of which the I is made up.
They, who yearn to be lost in the Self, bear affliction and abhorrence of the

horrors of the Myself.
To contemplate oneself as a moment in totality is to know oneself to be infinite,
and to reject with all the Self's might the sickening Egoism of separateness.
Two psychological states open before a definite Gnostic:
A) That of the Self, which is transparent, crystal-clear, impersonal, real and true.
B) That of the I, which is a collection of psychic aggregates that personify
defects, whose only reason to exist is ignorance.
Higher I and Lower I are just two sections of one same thing, different aspects of
the "Myself", diverse facets of the Infernal.
The sinister, diabolic and tenebrous I -- whether higher, middle or lower -- is,
therefore, continual addition, subtraction and multiplication of inhuman psychic
aggregates.
The so-called Higher I is certainly a trick by the "Myself", an intellectual ruse by
the Ego seeking ways out in order to continue existing, a very subtle form of
selfdeceit.
The I is a horrifying work of many volumes; the result of countless yesterdays, a
fatal knot that we have to undo.
Egotistic self-praise, worship of the I, overestimation of the Myself, is Paranoia,
idolatry worst of all kinds.
Gnosis is revelation or disclosure, refined aspirations, conceptual synthetism,
maximum achievements.
Ostensibly, both in essence and in accident, GNOSIS and GRACE are
identifiable phenomenologically.
Self-Gnosis, the Being's Intimate Self-Realization, would be more than
impossible without Divine Grace, without the extraordinary help of the Sacred
Breath.
To be Self-Saved is appropriate, and this requires full identification of what saves
with what is saved.
What is Divine, which dwells deepest in the Soul, the authentic and legitimate
cognizing faculty, annihilates the Ego, and absorbs, in its PAROUSIA, the
Essence and saves it in total enlightenment. This is the theme of the SALVATOR
SALVANDUS.
A Gnostic who has been saved from the waters has closed the cycle of infinite
bitterness, has trespassed the limit separating the ineffable realm of the Pleroma
from the interior regions of the universe, has bravely escaped the Demiurge's
Empire because he or she has reduced the Ego to cosmic dust.
The passage through the various worlds, the successive annihilation of the
inhuman elements, affirms this reinstatement in the Sacred Absolute Sun and,
then, turned into terribly Divine creatures, we pass beyond good and evil.
