Hey Joseph,

How can you say that they're not profound if you haven't lived them out? :)

Could you give me the specific page number(s) where VM Samael spoke of Master Rabolu in this way?

What do the mysticweb courses teach? Awareness, self-observation, death of the ego from moment-to-moment, meditation with koans and the duality, the same conjurations and mantras given by Master Samael in his books, and the works of death and birth in the alchemy. All three factors are included. There's nothing left out.

Peace,
Denny

Hi Kzwleh,

What do you think of this saying from the Gospel of Thomas? --

Jesus said, "You see the mote in your brother's eye, but you do not see the beam in your own eye. When you cast the beam out of your own eye, then you will see clearly to cast the mote from your brother's eye."

Master Samael Aun Weor taught that being celibate was not the way. His whole entire doctrine essentially rests on sexual magic between man and woman. Well, that and the doctrine of the many I's.

Furthermore, Master Samael doesn't say that sperm has nothing to do with reproduction. He says that it only takes one little guy to fertilize an egg. That's all. Isn't it true? Any modern day scientist would tell you the same.

Samael said, first and foremost, we must learn to be true gnostics (i.e., we must learn how to verify things for ourselves in the superior dimensions). It is not enough to lead a "good life." We must examine ourselves from moment to moment.

Moreover, we must learn how to live DANGEROUSLY. We can't run off to a cave, lock ourselves up in the attic, avoid the great challenges of daily life, become celibate, etc. By doing this, we will eliminate the very thing that brings our psychological defects out for an objective examination. This is what the Master taught.

Surely it's difficult to conserve and transmute the sexual energy one's entire life, but does that mean it's impossible? According to various schools of thought in the east, it's not only possible, but also necessary.

Obviously, Master Samael was not the first to present the idea of sexual magic with no ejaculation. We should take this into consideration when evaluating the idea.

There are many crazy fundamentalist Christians, but does that mean Jesus was some sort of lunatic?

It's not fair to label Master Samael and his teachings this or that simply because a movement has degenerated. Isn't it true that the master always comes out of the wilderness with gold, but it turns to dust when placed in the hands of his followers?

Actually, a student from one of those South American organizations recently stated that astral travel was forbidden by the leaders over there. Gnosis without astral travel? That's like getting out of bed without pulling the covers down first.

In many cases, people proclaim that they're practicing gnosis, when, in truth, they're simply adopting a new religion. They have mistaken gnosis for something it is not -- a book of moral conduct, a handy set of beliefs, etc.

Gnosis is what? It is the discipline of knowing oneself. Gnosis is essentially experimental psychology.

If you haven't tried to conserve and transmute the sexual energy, perhaps you should consider testing it thoroughly in the laboratory. Try it for a year, coupled with awareness and self-observation, and measure the psychological change.

You mentioned fanaticism as if it can only be found in one place. However, all we have to do is look around and see that it's just about everywhere. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone, right?

There is a good explanation for so much spiritual delusion, though, and Master Samael discussed this quite a bit.

He said the astral dimension is divided into two parts -- positive and negative. Sadly, most of us only go to the negative half, which is full of deceit (evil spirits), and this is why so many are deceived.

However, if we embody both sides, we will be able to see the objective reality clearly. By the way, the physical plane is not the objective reality. :)

Master Samael taught that we can accomplish this great feat through sexual magic. He called it "working in the flaming forge of Vulcan" and "descending to the Ninth Sphere."

In essence, we work to raise the seven serpents -- the physical, vital, astral, mental, causal, buddhic, and atmic -- in order to create the Solar Man.

The Solar Man is then considered an Initiate of the Universal White Lodge. He then begins the laborious task of elevating consciousness in the world. This is when the drama of Christ's Passion begins to unfold within the depths of our Being.

Lastly, I know a lot of people who follow the teachings that are quite normal. That's something to consider.

Peace,
Denny

Written by Samael Aun Weor
Dazzling intellectualism, as the manifested functionalism of the psychological "I," is without a doubt the Antichrist.

Those who suppose that the Antichrist is a strange personage born somewhere on the Earth or coming from this or that country are certainly completely mistaken.

We have emphatically stated that the Antichrist is definitely not a particular person, but all people.

Obviously, the Antichrist itself exists deep within each person and expresses itself in many ways.

Intellect which is placed in the service of the Spirit is useful; intellect which is divorced from the Spirit becomes useless.

Villains arise from intellectualism without spirituality: a vivid manifestation of the Antichrist. Obviously, the villain, in and for itself, is the Antichrist.

Unfortunately, the world today with all its tragedies and miseries is governed by the Antichrist. The state of chaos in which modern humanity finds itself is undoubtedly due to the Antichrist.

The iniquitous one, of which Paul of Tarsus spoke in his Epistles, is certainly the harsh reality of our times. The iniquitous one is already here. It manifests itself everywhere; it certainly has the gift of ubiquity.

It argues in cafes, negotiates at the United Nations, sits comfortably in Geneva, conducts experiments in laboratories, invents atomic bombs, remote-controlled missiles, asphyxiating gases, bacteriological bombs, etc., etc., etc.

The Antichrist, fascinated by its own intellectualism, which is absolutely exclusive to know-it-alls, believes that it knows all of the phenomena of Nature.

The Antichrist, believing itself to be omniscient, is trapped in the decay of its own theories. It directly rejects anything resembling God, or that which is worshipped. The self-sufficiency, pride and arrogance of the Antichrist are unbearable. The Antichrist mortally hates the Christian virtues of faith, patience and humility.

Everyone bows before the Antichrist. Obviously, it has invented ultrasonic aircraft, wonderful ships, splendid cars, amazing medicines, etc. Under such conditions, who can doubt the Antichrist?

In this day and age, anyone who dares to speak against all the miracles and wonders of the Son of Perdition condemns himself to everyone's ridicule, sarcasm and irony; he condemns himself to be classified as stupid and ignorant.

It is hard to make serious and studious people understand the former statements. They in and on themselves react and offer resistance.

Clearly, the intellectual animal mistakenly called human being is a robot, programmed at kindergarten, primary and secondary school, college and the university, etc. No one can deny that a programmed robot functions according to its programming. In no way could it function if the program were removed. The Antichrist has produced the program with which the humanoid robots of these decadent times are programmed.

Making these clarifications, emphasizing what I am saying, is frightfully difficult, as this is not in the program. No humanoid robot would admit things that are not in the program. The absorption of the mind is so tremendous and serious a matter that a humanoid robot will never even remotely suspect that the program is useless; he has been organized according to that program and to doubt it seems like heresy, something incongruous and absurd. For a robot to doubt its own program is absurd, an absolute impossibility, because its very existence depends upon that program.

Unfortunately, things are not as humanoid robots think they are. There is another science, another wisdom, which they find unacceptable. The humanoid robot reacts, and rightly so, as it is not programmed to deal with another science or another culture, or anything else that differs from its well-known program.

The Antichrist has prepared the programs of the humanoid robot and the robot humbly prostrates itself before its master. How could a robot possibly doubt the wisdom of its master?

A child is born innocent and pure. The Essence expressing itself through each child is exceedingly precious. Without a doubt, Nature deposits in the brain of newborns all the wild, natural, sylvan, cosmic and spontaneous information indispensable for the capture or comprehension of truths. These are contained in any natural phenomena perceivable by the senses. This means that a new born baby can discover by itself the reality of each natural phenomenon. Regrettably, the Antichrist's program interferes with it, and the marvelous qualities placed by Nature in the brains of the newborns are soon destroyed. The Antichrist prohibits different ways of thinking; all babies that are born must be programmed by order of the Antichrist.

There is no doubt that the Antichrist mortally hates that precious sense of the Being known as the 'faculty of instinctive perception of cosmic truths.'

Pure science, different from the decaying university theories which exist here, there and everywhere, is something inadmissible for the Antichrist's robots.

Many wars, famines and diseases have been propagated by the Antichrist throughout the world, and no doubt they will continue to be propagated before the arrival of the final catastrophe. Unfortunately, the hour of the great apostasy has arrived (that time announced by all the prophets), and no human being will dare to rise up against the Antichrist.

Heart, hand to mind,

With Grace'

"Jerusalem Fever" is well documented and I have written quite a bit about over the years. Thank you for bringing up this important point for the general readership. Just an idea: why don't you start a separate thread on this topic? It could prove interesting, Sham.
