Grand Gnostic Manifesto

Grand Gnostic Manifesto by Samael Aun Weor, 1966 Abraxas International

Most beloved,

They say that there is now a lot of gossiping among you. Truly, all this is painful, beloved ones.

They say that people speak against my insignificant person. Do not worry about my person, most beloved ones. My person is worth nothing, the Work is everything.

Some brothers are asking me to resolve the conflict that has arisen between you.

The Work is not mine, most beloved. The Work belongs to my Father, and I have beseeched to Him so that He may remedy it, for the Work is not mine but His.

I am not trying to defend my person, for my person is worthless. I am not trying to do my will, for my will is worthless; let my Father’s will be done and not mine.

My Father is doing His Work as He considers that it must be done. He has deemed it necessary that the poor suffering humanity should know the path and I cannot oppose my Father’s will, most beloved ones.

I cannot say anything about myself anymore, most beloved ones, for I know nothing. My Father is the one who knows, and He says what He has to say. I cannot forbid my Father to teach the secret science of the Ninth Sphere (sex). The Son cannot forbid the Father anything. The Son must only do the will of the Father.

If some of you gossip against my insignificant person for divulging the unspeakable secret of the Great Arcanum, in truth, my brothers, I say to you that I know nothing. My Father is the Lord of the Work and He is the one who teaches. He is the one who knows.

I am not trying to qualify myself as perfect, most beloved, for only my Father is perfect.

My beloved ones, do not be angry with me. It is not my fault that my Father is the Buddha Maitreya, the Kalki Avatar of the new era of Aquarius.

He is He, most beloved, and I am not to blame for what He is.

Do not concern yourselves with my person, most beloved ones, my person is worthless. It is worthless for you to defend or to attack me. My person is more worthless than the ashes of a cigarette.

I advise you to consider something better, beloved ones, STUDY THE DOCTRINE WHICH MY FATHER GIVES TO YOU. Truly, I tell you, my beloved ones, that my Father loves you very much and wants each one of you to enter the Kingdom.

HAVE MERCY on those who want to correct the Work of my Father. I, your brother, would never dare to correct the Work of my Father.

HATE NO ONE, most beloved. PRAY for those who hate and curse us. LOVE ALL those who slander us. Deep down, all those misguided brothers are not perverse, but are sincerely mistaken people and ones with very good intentions.

Remember, my beloved, that the road to the Abyss is always paved with good intentions.

“Do not judge if you do not want to be judged.” “With the rod that you measure, you will be measured.”

Do not be surprised that many speak out against the Great Arcanum. Remember that these poor people never heard of the Great Arcanum. This is new to them and the human mind hardly accepts what is new.

It is written, my beloved, that “Many are called and few are chosen.” Not all those who enter university become professionals. The Law of Natural Selection operates in everything that is created; “Many are called but few are chosen.”

The descent into the Ninth Sphere (sex) was, since ancient times, the ultimate ordeal for the supreme dignity of the hierophant: Buddha, Jesus, Hermes, Dante, Zoroaster, Quetzalcoatl, Pythagoras, etc., had to undergo this terrible ordeal.

Many are those who enter the Ninth Sphere to work with fire and water, the origin of worlds, beasts, men and gods, but very rare are those who persevere until the second birth, of which Jesus spoke to Nicodemus (see John 3:1-21).

There are also very many human beings who still believe that they can self-realize without descending into the Ninth Sphere, without working with the maithuna or Arcanum A.Z.F.

DO NOT BLAME THEM, my beloved brothers, do not condemn them. They have never been in the mysteries, they are ignorant and worthy of pity; pray for them, and saturate them with your love.

We need to descend to the Ninth Sphere to create the solar bodies, but there are many who believe that they already have solar bodies. Those poor brothers do not know that, in this moment in time, all of us are only intellectual animals with lunar bodies.

Do not be surprised if some sincerely mistaken people believe that it is possible to create the solar bodies without the necessity of descending to the Ninth Sphere (sex). It is clear that this would be as absurd as wanting to be born into this world without the need for a father and mother, or without the need for sex. However, that is how humanity is; everyone is free to think as he or she wants and we know how to respect the ideas of others.

Self-realization is only possible by creating the solar bodies, the superior existential bodies of the Being. It is impossible to incarnate our real Being without the solar bodies. Remember, most beloved ones, that our lunar bodies would not be able to withstand the tremendous voltage of our divine Being.

DO NOT CONDENM those who pronounce themselves against the maithuna (sexual magic). Those poor brothers had never in their entire lives studied tantrism, the mysteries of sex, the untold secrets of the Ninth Sphere. This is totally new for them and they did not know it. It is clear that when they know it, they are scandalized, they insult us, they believe that we are wrong, that it is not the path, etc.

I tell you one thing, most beloved ones. When I was in Egypt at the foot of the Sphinx of the desert, I WAS ENTRUSTED WITH THE SOLEMN MISSION OF TEACHING HUMANITY THIS SCIENCE. I was also warned about all these scandals, about all these gossips, betrayals, etc. due to the state in which this poor suffering humanity finds itself.

It is clear that never before in life had the unspeakable secret of the Great Arcanum been divulged outside the temples of major mysteries. However, as the new Aquarian Era is now starting, it was necessary to disclose it for the good of this poor suffering humanity.

People know nothing of this, and we cannot condemn them because they do not know. It is only natural that they should be scandalized, gossiping against us and throwing stones at us. But we cannot hate them; we must love them, we must understand that what is new is always scandalized, that the mind hardly accepts what is new.

It is necessary to understand, most beloved ones, that this matter of the Ninth Sphere (sex) gives rise to many discussions and controversies, because for these poor people it is something new, and what is new always provokes discussions.

DO NOT GOSSIP against those who withdraw from the Gnostic Movement, do not gossip against those who abandon the work in the flaming forge of Vulcan (sex).

Remember, most beloved, brothers/sisters, the Law of Natural Selection. Not everyone who enters university leaves as a professional.

To remain twenty or thirty years in the Ninth Sphere (sex), working in the flaming forge of Vulcan until reaching the second birth (of which Jesus spoke to Nicodemus) is something too difficult, most beloved ones, because the human being does not yet possess a permanent center of consciousness and true individuality.

This ‘I’ that we carry within us does not have individuality. It is made up of a sum of distinct, different entities, and each of these entities is a small ‘I’ with its own mind, emotions and ideas.

The ego is a sum of small ‘I’s, there is no single ‘I’ within us. Any entity within us that is enthused by the work in the Ninth Sphere, by Gnosis, can flourish in the mind for a moment, a small ‘I’, but we cannot be sure that such enthusiasm will last a lifetime.

The ego is a sum of small ‘I’s. There is no single, completely unique ‘I’ within us. We are like a boat full of passengers. Each passenger is different, has his own criteria, his own ideas and projects.

When the entity, the enthusiastic ‘I’, is displaced from its post by another entity, another ‘I’ that abhors the work in the Ninth Sphere, then the subject withdraws from the work in the Ninth Sphere, despises Gnosis, and even becomes an enemy of our Movement.

The poor people do not have individuality, and therefore cannot have a permanent center of gravity, a continuity of purpose. But they have theories and are firmly convinced that they do have a true individuality, poor people… do not criticize them, let them think as they will.

Now you will understand, most beloved ones, why people withdraw from our Gnostic Movement, why they become our enemies overnight, why they abandon the work in the Ninth Sphere.

This is the path of the razor’s edge, this path is full of dangers inside and outside. “Out of a thousand who seek me, one finds me. Out of a thousand who find me, one follows me. Out of a thousand who follow me, one is mine.”

Remember, beloved ones, the Buddha’s Necklace with its one hundred and eight beads, each of which symbolizes a reincarnation/return.

All of us have only been assigned one hundred and eight lives. Those who reach the last one without having self-realized enter the submerged mineral kingdom, they go backwards, involute in time, suffering greatly, until they are reduced to cosmic dust.

A man who has begun the divine, the Great Secret, the work in the Ninth Sphere, must be steadfast and work in the flaming forge of Vulcan (sex), as otherwise, he turns against it. This is a dangerous secret.

When one has realized such a secret, he must go forth or fall. When one finds the secret or hears of it, he has only two or three, or very few more lives. After that, he ceases to be born in order to enter the infernal worlds wisely mentioned in the Tibetan Book of the Dead.

The Abyss is full of sincerely mistaken people and people of very good intentions.

The submerged mineral kingdom is symbolized by all the religious hells. Let us remember the Greek Tartarus, the Roman Averno, the Christian Inferno, the famous Egyptian Amenti represented on the cosmological plane of the great pyramid by a dark, stony, obscure chamber, a hundred feet below the surface of the earth, the floor of which has been left formless and from which a final passage leads to nowhere.

This is the smelting crucible within the interior of the Earth, the atomic hell of Nature.

Those who unfortunately enter the infernal worlds regress, involute in these submerged regions, passing through the animal, plant, and mineral states over very long periods of time.

Those who enter the infernal worlds must remain there until they attain final emancipation, after having suffered much. The purpose of involution, or regression into the infernal worlds, is to disintegrate the ego and the lunar bodies for the release of the essence, the soul.

The descent into the infernal worlds is, beyond all doubt, a terrible journey backwards through the underworld. It is a plunge into ever-increasing densities of horrifying materiality, a fall backwards through eternities and centuries, until reaching the primitive chaos.

Thus, by these horrible processes the soul in the underworld is liberated. The pristine purity of the psychic material is repaired or restored, and becomes available to return with new waves of life, to the infinite manifestations of Nature.

From the primitive chaos, those emancipated souls who traveled through the interior of the Earth must repeat the ascent through the mineral, plant, and animal realms until they reach the human state.

Most beloved brothers/sisters, it is urgent that you understand that in these moments in which the new Aquarian Era is beginning, many people are approaching the end of their cycle and lives. As I have already told you, this cycle is made of one hundred and eight reincarnations/returns.

It is precisely for this reason that the White Lodge has resolved to deliver to humanity, publicly, the Great Arcanum.

It is absolutely impossible to self-realize without creating the superior existential bodies of the Being. It is impossible to create the solar bodies without the sexual act (Arcanum A.Z.F.).

Those who do not self-realize enter the infernal worlds of Nature, that is the law.

In the world, there are many sincerely mistaken people who will tell you that everything is false, and they will present you with beautiful theories for self-realization without descending to the Ninth Sphere (sex).

These poor people ignore the occult maxim that says: “In order to go up, you must first go down.”

I want to swear to you, most beloved ones, in the name of the Eternal Living God that all those Masters, whom I have had the high honor of meeting, such as Morya, Kuthumi, Saint Germain, etc., are twice-born. They worked in the Ninth Sphere with the Great Arcanum, they created their solar bodies with the maithuna (sexual magic).

It is also very true and certain that all those twice-born cannot return to the Ninth Sphere in the same way that a child cannot return to its mother’s womb.

The brahmacharya, total and definitive sexual abstinence, is only obligatory for the twice-born, for those who have already created the solar bodies.

(A twice-born person is someone who has created the soul, and is therefore a solar human being. Also known as the second birth-see John 3. “Once the body of conscious will [causal body, Tiphereth] is built, one becomes a twice-born.” – Samael Aun Weor, Tarot and Kabbalah.)

In practice, we have been able to verify that those who practice brahmacharya, that is to say sexual abstinence, without having created the solar bodies in the Ninth Sphere, instead of self-realizing, they suffer from nocturnal emissions, and become charged with extremely malignant veneniooskirian vibrations.

Such satanic vibrations give rise to appalling fanaticism and expert cynicism to a high degree.

These veneniooskirian vibrations have the power to awaken the kundabuffer organ. This organ is the spinal sexual fire directing itself from the coccyx downwards towards the atomic hells of man.

The kundabuffer organ is the tail of Satan in the lunar bodies of the intellectual animal, mistakenly called human.

Our gratuitous enemies believe that the Kundalini can be fully developed through breathing exercises, and also from many other practices that they have come to know through different books on Yoga.

Our critics have never studied the text on sexual magic by Doctor Adoum (Magician Jefa), titled Introduction to the Wisdom of the Serpent.

Our critics have never studied the sex-yoga (white-tantra) of India, the yoga-tantrism of Tibet, Japan, China, etc.

Whoever has researched in the whole of Asia knows very well that the best thing about Yoga is the esoteric tantric sexual circle. The most serious thing known in the whole continent of Asia is the sex-yoga, white-tantrism, the maithuna (sexual magic).

Our gratuitous enemies have only superficial, incomplete information, but they think they know a lot. We never wish to condemn them, to loathe them. They are sincerely mistaken people and full of very good intentions.

My dearest brothers/sisters, I have told you with all my heart what I needed to in this manifesto. Let my gratuitous enemies continue against me. Let them hurl against my insignificant person all their defamatory slime. That is not of the least importance, my person is worth less than the ashes of a cigarette.

You can be sure that I adore my enemies, I love them with all my heart. I have much to thank them for because they give me formidable opportunities in the development of my own cosmic drama. Therefore, in some way, I must repay them for the good they do me.

Some good Gnostic brothers want to defend me from slander, and even ask for reports about me through their respective consulates in Mexico. I thank my beloved brothers sincerely for their good intentions. However, as I do not have any outstanding social position in the world, it is clear the only thing that the consuls and people of high society can say is that they do not know me.

I am really a nobody in social life. I am no one, I have no money, I am too poor, and therefore my person is of no importance whatsoever.

In truth my brothers/sisters, I say unto you, I know nothing. What I have written is the message of my Father; esoterically, I am only a brother in service.

I don’t want to argue with anyone because I don’t know anything. I won’t answer letters on the basis of discussion, I like to respect other people’s ideas, to each their own.

I am only a messenger, I fulfill the duty of delivering the message of my Father who is in secret. Those who want to receive the message can receive it, and those who want to reject it can reject it.

Inverential Peace.

Samael Aun Weor
