Introduction This article provides an excerpt by the V.M Samael Aun Weor describing the inner most aspect of the Absolute. It is very tempting to use the words area, section or zone instead of aspect, but because the absolute is space and it is not space. That is space, in the way that creation is part of it and there is space in creation, but also because the Absolute is beyond measurement, form and boundaries which always define an area, a section and a zone. However, this article describes the Ain the inner most aspect of the Absolute. The main point being that Ain is beyond what has been created, so it is beyond form and any kind of manifestation. Excerpt “ Abstract Space is the Causa Causorum of all that is, has been and will be. Profound and joyful space is certainly the incomprehensible “Seity”, the ineffable mystic root of the seven Cosmos, the mysterious origin of all that we know as spirit, matter, universes, suns, worlds, etc. “That”, the Divine, the space...

Introduction What is within the Absolute is a very logical question to ask and surprisingly there is an answer. We are told by very ancient traditions, namely those of the Hebraic Kabbalah and the early Christianity that within the Absolute there are certain subdivisions. Here, Master Samael tells us that the Absolute has three subdivisions. “In itself, the Absolute has three aspects; Ain, Ain Soph, and Ain Soph Aur. To speak about Ain is difficult because it is the Unmanifested Absolute. Form does not exist in the Absolute, nor figure, nor number, nor weight. When the universe dissolves, only the memory remains in the consciousness of the Gods; and with those memories the universe of Pleroma is formed. If one wanted to take something from there it would not exist, because there are only memories.” The Three Circles of The Absolute The Absolute has three aspects: Ain, Ain Soph and Ain Soph Aur. The following excerpts from Master Samael describe each of these three aspect...

A Question To Start We sometimes get the feeling that the Absolute is up there somewhere and we are marooned and cast away from it down here. Is this really true? Another Question The previous articles describe the Absolute as being the source of creation, and being something infinite without limits. In some texts it has been described as “an ocean without shores”. So if the Absolute is infinite where then would we locate a finite creation? Would it be inside or outside the Absolute? An Answer Thinking a bit about it, we come to the conclusion that we would have to find our limited creation, the same one that we belong to, inside the Absolute. This certainly comes as a surprise, only because we have the idea or concept that the Absolute is something very far away and beyond this world. Final Question So then, the next question to ask ourselves would be “do we all then live inside the Absolute?”. Once again if we are located within the Absolute we also live wi...

Abstract and Impractical Perhaps Naturally the topic of the Absolute is a very abstract subject, and one that is seemingly impossible to grasp with our mind. After all, how can the finite (our mind) grasp the infinite, impossible! Despite this, commonly we regard the absolute as something so very far away and the study of the Absolute as something impractical. However, from a knowledge point of view, it is very useful to study the Absolute. The following sections describe why. Origin and Destination Why is it useful to study the Absolute? An answer is, because the Absolute is the very initial origin and the very final resting point of us all. The Absolute answers those two very fundamental questions that none of us seem to have an answer for: “where have we come from?” and “where are we going?”. We have come from the Absolute and at some point we are going back there. It is our greatest Alpha and Omega. It is so u...

Introduction The Absolute is the answer to question: “where does Divinity, love, consciousness, life and creation all come from?”. The Absolute is the mysterious origin of all these things, yet as Master Samael says, it is that which itself has no origin, that is, no beginning or end. It is something that is beyond creation and beyond life. What is most relevant for us to take from all this is that, our origin too and our very final destination was and will be the Absolute. The following excerpt by Master Samael describes in more eloquent detail what the Absolute is. Excerpt “ The Absolute is the Being of all Beings. The Absolute is that which is, has always been, and always will be. It expresses as abstract absolute movement and repose. It is the cause of Spirit and of matter, but is neither one nor the other. The Absolute is beyond the mind; and the mind cannot understand it because what we must do is intuit its nature. The Absolute is beyond conditioned life. Beyo...

Introduction If we want to know which animals in nature are evolving. Easy just look at the zodiac. All the animals present in the signs of the zodiac are evolving. This post comes from several questions that I have been asked about seafood. Why Evolving The zodiac is really for human beings and so the animals in the zodiac are the ones that exhibit characteristics that are human or human like. Animals that are involuting represent characteristics of the egos in the human being, because the egos gravitate towards the abyss. These animals shown below are evolving. Crabs I have been asked this question many times: “Is it ok to eat prawns and crabs, are they involuting like pigs?”. Well no, crabs aren’t. I’m not too sure about prawns, fish though are evolving. Master Samael never said anything about seafood being bad for us. Anyway I think that with crabs, crayfish or lobsters and fish one can not go wrong. ...

Introduction In India due to suspicion and prejudices the country’s vultures were almost all eradicated. This at first seemed great as the supposed cause of many problems had been eliminated or the curse that vultures were thought to bring had been removed. However it wasn’t long before the effects of the Indian’s government’s actions, that is of eradicating the vultures was seen. In eradicating the vultures a great imbalance was produced and every imbalance is unwelcome in nature, as nature seeks to always be in balance and so to compensate for this imbalance many things began to occur. Vultures Absent When the vultures were not around fulfilling their cosmic role or their in nature of cleaning all the carrion or dead animals the number of rabid dogs began to increase as the dogs would eat the dead animals to compensate for their being no vultures to do it. As dogs as are not built or made to really fulfil th...

Introduction It is really worth going to and cultivating the powers of the heart. For the sake of mystical, refuge, displacing the ever powerful intellect and to draw closer to our Being, who resides in the heart. What is There In the heart we find what we are. There is no mind in the heart and so there are no false creations or creations that are have been made up or dreamed up or projected. In the heart there is only what is real, only what is there and what is there is the Real Being, our ultimate reality and our current reality. It is the core of what we are, in our heart we find what is us and what is dearest to us. Therefore love can never be absent from the heart. Intuition In the heart we find intuition, peace, mystical refuge, noble values, dwelling of Being, voice of silence and much more. Vast Space for All In the heart we may put many things there. There is much space for others, for the world,...

Introduction Sexuality is really like a huge tree, it connects to the Earth and stretches out towards the heavens. It receives from above and below and transmits to the Earth and the heavens and stretches downwards to the interior of the Earth and upwards towards the heavens. There is the family tree (the result of sexuality) and there is the tree of the science of good and evil which is the symbol for sexuality. This post is about explaining this interesting analogy between sexuality and trees. To the Earth Trees with their roots extend deep into the Earth and so anchor themselves there. The roots are the very Earthly part of the tree and through the tree’s roots it draws nourishment up for its existence. Sexuality is like that, when it descends or is focussed outwardly it spreads out and fragments just like a tree’s root system. It either creates children or it fragments into hundreds of various other types of infer...

Introduction Because lust breaks all limits and seeks to expand outward in a very inferior way, creating more and more diversions and expressions of sexuality chastity or transmutation is the same but inwardly. It seeks the Being in us and in seeking the Being flies upwards towards the infinite and into the infinite. Ecstasy and Pleasure Lust does not what to stop because of the promise of pleasure. It goes and goes until it reaches the physical limit and then tries to go past that and past that again creating new and stranger diversions and pleasures etc. It just doesn’t stop. But chastity or transmutation which is a superior kind of sexuality is one that looks for the same but within us and in our Being. It provokes the ecstasy where by it looks and flies upwards towards our inner Being and enters into his vast inner space and there is fins the ecstasy of expansion into the void, the great inner vastness and emptiness, where there is the expansion of consciousness and ...

Introduction A person can get into such a bad habit of looking for books and reading through books on esotericism. But all the while one strays further from oneself and one’s own wisdom which is the truth and wisdom that really transforms us. Read your Own Book To read our own book is to read our own mind, to know how the ego works in our mind and to get illumination about how our mind and the ego work. It also means to study ourselves and our own nature and the way we interact with the world around us. Conclusion Transfer the focus from external books to internal exploration and understanding and wisdom. This is what helps us more than anything, look for eth answers within rather than outside of oneself. End (452).

Introduction Lust as a defect has one very strong and important characteristic to know and understand. This characteristic is that it constantly breaks barriers. Its expressions are all about breaking the order of things and the balance. The ancient Lemurians fell because they broke the cosmic order of spilling the sexual energy (semen) and performing the sexual act outside of the temple. Lust does the same in us many times over on many different levels. Transgress To transgress means to go past or beyond a limit or barrier. Lust was the one in all human beings that urged and pushed human beings to go past the natural and cosmic order ot r limit of things. Lust is still doing that in ourselves today. Just look inside ourselves if we have lust and look at the situation in the world. Lust is growing like crazy and is breaking more and more barriers and making it legal at the same time. Lust is it getting more indecent and is making its decencies legal and therefore set...

Introduction I love my Maguey and all Maguey plants. They are so powerful and full of vitality. When you water them and give them nutrient rich soil to grow in, they become so happy that you can feel the vibes of happiness coming from them. A happy plant is one that is very prone to help us. This post will mention a little how the powerful elemental of the Maguey plant can help us. Here below is a picture of healthy and happy Maguey plant. Elemental and Mantra Master Samael says that the elemental of the Maguey plant belongs to Jupiter and it is a very powerful elemental that can also help heal one’s mind. I have used it many times to help calm my mind and also clean my mind. One can concentrate on the elemental and chant the following mantra given to us by V.M Samael Aun Weor. LIBIB LENONINAS LENONON Help with Happiness and Prana As with all happy plants they exude waves of vitality, which ...

Introduction The opposite of the defect of lust is chastity. I think that it is very useful to know the opposite of the defect, the virtue, inside out. Why you may ask. The reason why, is because it makes cultivating it and annulling the defect much easier. Know the Defect Know the Virtue To know the virtue we must know the defect. As soon as we know the defect we can know the virtue, by the law of opposites. We have to understand though that chastity is not abstinence. Chastity is sexuality but a different sexuality to what lust presents. The commonly understood chastity is the non-use of sexuality. The Middle There is always the middle in everything, even in sexuality. There is the use of sexuality, then there is the overuse or abuse and then there is the non-use. Obviously the wise use as with everything else in life is the best. So then, chastity has a lot to do with the wise or balanced use of sexuality. With and Without Love Lust has been defined as...
