Introduction This article reveals the secret of Alchemy. Many people through the centuries have looked for this secret and I believe that the sincere seekers somehow found it. However those who wanted to find the secret for the reasons of greed and vanity may have never found it, and instead remained stuck in the literal interpretation of the symbols and text, and as a consequence never penetrated into the real nature of the secret, which has to do with working with the power that gave rise to the human being and is the only power that can legitimately and authentically transform the human being. The most interesting thing though is that this key even though it was heavily guarded in the past has now been publicly unveiled, and there are good reasons for that, which is covered in this article. Introduction to the Excerpts The following three excerpts reveal the key of Alchemy and explain more about the key itself. Please note for Excerpt 3, that Lemuria and Atlantis were...

Introduction The reason why one would study and practice Alchemy is two-fold. With one reason being to create and the other reason being to dissolve. As you would have gleamed from the previous post, Alchemy is a work of using the sexual forces of the human being to create and to dissolve. The sexual force has that innate power of being able to create and being able to dissolve. With the study and practice of the ancient art of Alchemy one comes to be able to create inside of  themselves and to dissolve the false and unnecessary creations that also lie within. The following excerpt from the Venerable Master Samael Aun Weor, who was a tremendous practitioner of the Alchemical arts said in relation to the purpose of Alchemy the following words. Excerpt 1 “ As above, so below. Above, the nebula is needed in order for the worlds to emerge, and in order for this to happen crude matter is needed. The crude matter is the Arche, a mixture of Salt, Sulphur and Mercury. He...

Introduction Alchemy can be defined in a few different way. One way is to define Alchemy is by using the semantics of the word itself. The word Alchemy is sometimes considered to be an acronym and sometimes considered to be a two part word. Nevertheless both versions when broken down give an adequate definition of Alchemy. These two breakdowns are given below. Alchemy – Composite Word “ Al (as a connotation of the Arabic word Allah: al-, the +ilah, God) means “The God”. Also Al (Hebrew) for highest” or El “God”. Chem or Khem is from kimia (Greek) which means “to fuse or cast a metal”. Also from Khem, the ancient name for Egypt. The synthesis is Al-Kima: “to fuse with the highest” or “to fuse with God. ” Excerpt from the glossary of the book: “ The Mystery of the Golden Blossom ”, by V.M Samael Aun Weor, published by Glorian , 2010. An Art “ Instead of dealing with chemistry, occultism, and religion as distinct and separate subjects, alchemy has definitely taught ...

An Observation I always travel to see my friends and as I am approaching their house I usually always feel great. One day I observed that I feel great visiting them because I had the thought that because they like me and look forward to seeing me I feel great. I observed further and saw that that feeling great is me feeling good about myself, in other words me liking myself. It happened that things didn’t go so smoothly one day and my friends were not so happy with me and then the next day going to see them I felt awful. I went inside myself looking for an answer and I found to my surprise that I was feeling bad about myself because they were I thought thinking and feeling negatively towards me. Now really to my surprise I started to counteract that, because it was a very nervous type of feeling that was very unpleasant. I thought to myself well this time round I havn’t done anything wrong, my friends just didn’t like what I did or said and so why can’t me myself feel ok about m...

Blue Earth The Earth is blue because of all the water on its surface. From outer space the Earth appears to look like a blue and white marble with its blue colour owing to its large ocean that covers about 71% of its entire surface area. Certainly water is the most important element on this planet, because about 2/3 of it is water and it is stated that 97% of all the life forms of the planet are found in its waters. Today scientists say that there about 10 million species of creatures dwelling in the Earth’s oceans that are yet to be discovered. Start of Life It is also stated that all life or living matter emerged from the ocean. Making the Earth’s oceans like a Mother or a womb. In fact the fluid or liquids (waters) inside a mother’s womb while the unborn child is gestating are salty just like the ocean. Even as Master Samael says the continents emerge from the salty ocean. The oceans are salt...

Introduction As a brief answer the number of the Absolute is 13, named after the thirteenth aeon. This article using various excerpts will explain why the Absolute’s number is 13. The main reason being that the Absolute encompasses all and the number thirteen as you will see through the excerpts presented in this article, also contains everything. Excerpt 1 “ The Ten Sephiroths or emanations, plus the AIN SOPH AUR and the AIN SOPH are, in reality, the Twelve Aeons. The Twelve Aeons are, in reality, Twelve Regions. The Thirteenth Aeon is terribly Divine .” Excerpt from the book: “ Pistis Sophia Unveiled ”, Chapter 28 by V.M Samael Aun Weor . Excerpt 2 “ The Thirteenth Aeon reminds us of the Thirteen Heavens of the Aztecs or Nahuas from ancient Mexico. There also exists Thirteen Katuns among the Mayas of Yucatan, Palenque, and Central America in general. These are the Thirteen prophetic Katuns, Thirteen periods of time for each...

Introduction When trying to understand what the Absolute is, we often think of it as being related to space, however this is not completely true. We tend to think that the Absolute is the sum of all the deep black space that all the planets, stars, suns and moons are suspended in. However, the Absolute Master Samael says is not that deep dark space that we see up in the sky at night but rather an abstract form of space. The following excerpt from Master Samael expounds upon this. Excerpt “ The Abstract Absolute Space is the causa causorum of everything that is, has been, and shall be. The profound and joyful space is certainly the incomprehensible “Seity,” which is the ineffable, mystical root of the seven cosmos. It is the mysterious origin of all that we know as Spirit, matter, universes, suns, worlds, etc. “That,” which is divine, the space of happiness, is the tremendous reality beyond the universe and Gods. “That” has no dimension, yet indeed, it is what its, what a...

Introduction This is an interesting question to the human being, one that when we search inside ourselves for an answer we find that we can accept that the Absolute has something to do with chaos because it is the origin of everything, yet something in us does not like that it is chaos, because chaos implies disorder and randomness and an absence of intelligence. This excerpt from V.M Samael Aun Weor nicely clears this up for us. Excerpt “ The Cosmos comes from Chaos and from the darkness springs forth the Light; let us pray profoundly. In all of the sacred books of the world it is written with words of fire that the Chaos is the seedbed of the Cosmos. The Nothing, Chaos, is clearly, without the slightest doubt, Alpha and Omega, the beginning and end of all worlds which live and palpitate in the unalterable infinite. In the Brahmin Aitareya , the magistral and precious lesson of the Rig Veda, the tremendous similarity between those enlightened ideas of the ...

Introduction Having read the previous articles one may come to the conclusion that the Absolute is darkness. However, as the following excerpt indicates to us, darkness and light are very relative. In some ways, yes the Absolute is darkness but in many other ways it is light. Excerpt “ Darkness is in itself Father-Mother; the Light, their Son so says ancient wisdom. Clearly, the Uncreated Light has an unknown origin, absolutely unknown to us. We are in no manner exaggerating if we put emphasis on the idea that such origin is Darkness. We may speak now of the borrowed, cosmic, secondary light; obviously whatever its origin, and beautiful though it may be, it has at root, a transitory nature, illusory, of Maya. The ineffable Profound Darkness forms then the Eternal Womb, within which the origins of the light appear and disappear. It is said that the Absolute is darkness, from the darkness comes the light. The Uncreated Light of the Absolute comes from the p...

Introduction One of the most common questions on our mind is what is it like inside of the Absolute? If we are one day going to leave the existence that we have now and enter the Absolute, “what will it be like inside the Absolute?” becomes a very important question. The answer to this question is not as many would expect. The important thing to take into account is that the day when we enter the Absolute we will not be in the same state of consciousness as we are in now. We will enter as pure consciousness without mind, and obviously we will be very prepared for that entrance. Here below is an excerpt explaining what it would be like to enter the Absolute as we are now. Answer “ If we were to place ourselves there we would see nothing more than an abyss and profound darkness. For the inhabitants of the Absolute (the Paramarthasattyas) however, that darkness is Uncreated Light, made neither by man nor by God, where reigns inexhaustible happiness, inconceivable joy .”...

Introduction This, for someone new to the esoteric teachings is something amazing. To hear that creation actually ends and that it has ended before. This really mystifies the student. However, it is opens one up to the greater picture of life and creation. It shows us our very greater destiny or future. Excerpt “ When the profound night of the creators of this Solar System comes, they will be absorbed in the bosom of the Absolute. A group of moons will remain; the planets, the Sun, the Earth, and life will have disappeared along with the virginal sparks. To each of us corresponds a virginal spark, to each living creature there corresponds a virginal spark, and these will be absorbed in the Absolute for 7 Eternities. If we observe Selene (our Moon) we will see that it is a cadaver. It had a rich life, seas and volcanoes. There are other moons which orbit around Mars, Saturn, etc., which once had life. In the past Mahamanvantara which was a Padma, or Golden Lotus, the Moon...

Introduction This article provides an excerpt by the V.M Samael Aun Weor describing the third inner (outermost) most aspect of the Absolute, Ain Soph. The essential characteristic of this aspect of the Absolute is that it is already the first order of creation. It is a very spiritual order or level of creation which has also been called the Sacred Solar Absolute. Because within it are all the spiritual suns that by their link to the source of all life within the Absolute, irradiate the life force and vitality to the orders of creation that they govern. Excerpt “ Each universe of infinite space possesses its own Central Sun, and the sum of all these Spiritual Suns constitutes Ain Soph Aur, the Protocosmos, the Solar Absolute. The Solar Absolute is formed of multiple transcendental, divine Spiritual Suns. The emanation of our “Omnimerciful and Sacred Solar Absolute” is that which Helen P. Blavatsky calls “The Great Breath” to itself, profoundly unknown... Much has ...

Introduction This article provides an excerpt by the V.M Samael Aun Weor describing the second inner most aspect of the Absolute, Ain Soph. The essential characteristic of this aspect of the Absolute is that from it emanates creation, and to it also withdraws creation. We may as V.M Samael says find the origin of our very Being there. That is our very spiritual origin lies there. Excerpt “ All creation emanates from Ain Soph, but creation is not equal either in essence or in power to Ain Soph. Ain Soph, through its divine, uncreated Light radiates from itself an intelligence, a power, which although it originally partook of the perfection and boundlessness of its Credo in having derived from Him, has a finite aspect. The Kabalah calls this first spiritual emanation of Ain Soph the ineffable Ancient of Days, which is the Being of our Being; the Father and Mother in us. Ain Soph, not being able to express in the limited physical plane, ex presses by means of its “Ten Sephi...
