Introduction
Master Samael wrote very extensively about many different
esoteric topics and in his writings he answered many questions that many of us
have and he also laid down a practical system for us to be able to arrive
through our own experience at the truth of the matter we are interested in
knowing about.
The Details and the Synthesis
Sometimes because he did not have time and because he is the
master of the synthesis he could not write down all the details and smaller
steps to arrive at the knowledge and experiences that he wrote about.
So, in these small gaps sometimes other authors can provide some
helpful hints and information or explanations. Perhaps he also had a lot of
consciousness and the apprehension of the knowledge was very direct, simple and
immediate not requiring many steps which is what we may require at times.
Recommendation
It is my recommendation that the works of other authors be
used in this way, helping one in one’s understanding of Gnosis and helping one
within the goals of one’s work - definitely, not taking one off on a tangent
into other studies that are not really going to take one closer to
self-realisation.
Authors who are Dying Mystically or Awakening
The works of other authors who are awakening or awakened or are
dying in themselves are very illuminating and helpful if they are written in a
way that we can understand.
Conclusion
As the master of the synthesis Master Samael in his works extracted
the essentials out of some many different doctrines and knowledge systems and
practices and really if we just practice what he has laid down or get some
hints and help to practice what he laid down we will get to his aim for us.
