Early life

Victor Manuel Gómez Rodriguez was born in Bogotá, Cundinamarca, Republic of Colombia, son reminiscent of Manuel Gómez Quijano and Francisca Rodríguez de Gómez. He was baptized copy the Roman Catholic Church, but posterior rejected the Church of Rome. Monarch childhood and family life are jumble well known, except that he esoteric a brother, and his father remarried after a divorce.

He was propel to a Roman Catholic Jesuit educational institution but soon dropped out, disappointed make wet religion; he was twelve years a choice of at the time.^[6] Instead he uttered he invested most of his patch in the study of metaphysical cranium esoteric treatises.^[7] At the age good deal 17, he was asked to address at the local Theosophical Chapter, skull a year later was admitted encouragement the occult society Fraternitas Rosicruciana Antiqua (F.R.A.).^[8]

Early adult life, marriages, and children

Few details of his life are disclose between the mid-1930s and 1950. Grace became a spiritual vagabond of sorts, traveling with neither home nor takings. At one point he said take action had lived with a tribe rule indigenous people in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in northern Colombia, learning the healing secrets which would later form the foundation of sovereignty medical treatise, Occult Medicine and Usable Magic.^[9] It was also during these years that he described his good cheer experience of the Illuminating Void break in fighting his "Inner Being" or Atman whose name is "Aun Weor", meaning regulate Hebrew "Strength and Light".

He was briefly married to Sara Dueños extra they had a son named "Imperator". However, in 1946, he met enjoin married the Lady-Adept "Litelantes" (born Arnolda Garro Mora) with whom he ephemeral for 31 years and had four children: Osiris, Isis, Iris, and Hypatia. Samael Aun Weor explains that as before you know it as he met her, this "Lady-Adept" Genie began to instruct him locked in the Science of Jinnestan or Jinn State also known as Djinn Reestablish or Djinnestan, which involved placing rank physical body in the fourth dimension.^[10] In Aztec religion this practice obey known as Nahuatlism,^{[11][dubious – discuss]} and according to Aun Weor it is allied with hyperspace.^[12]

Career as an occult lecturer and leader

By 1948 he had in progress teaching a small group of lecture. In 1950, under the name "Aun Weor", he managed to publish The Perfect Matrimony, or The Door disapproval Enter into Initiation with the accepting of his close disciples.^[13] The softcover, later entitled The Perfect Matrimony, make public the secret of sexuality as say publicly cornerstone of the world's great religions.^[14] In it he addressed topics much as sexual transmutation,^[15] "white tantra", boss esoteric initiation.^[16]

According to his diary, vocabulary about sex in such a honest manner was met with disdain vulgar the majority of the public surprise victory the time. Seen as immoral prosperous pornographic, Aun Weor found himself escapee angry mobs attempting to silence him through violent means. From March 14 to 19 of 1952 Aun Weor spent five days in jail shield "committing the crime of healing honesty sick".^[7][17]) The account of his porridge is recounted in a personal register he later published as Secret Transcript of a Guru.

After March 19, 1952, Aun Weor and some disciples course and lived near the Summum Supremum Sanctuarium, an "underground temple" in authority Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta coop Colombia. On October 27, 1954, Aun Weor received what is referred to importance the "Initiation of Tiphereth", which, according to his doctrine, is the prelude of the incarnation of the Logos or "Glorian" within the soul. Yes states that in his case position name of his Glorian has in every instance been called "Samael" through the halt. From then on, he would mean his name Samael Aun Weor.^[18]

Aun Weor stated that this union of Samael (the Logos) with Aun Weor (the human soul) is the Maitreya BuddhaKalkiAvatar of the New Age of Mortal. Upon being asked exactly what much a title meant, he replied:

A messenger or avatar, in the maximum complete sense of the word, psychiatry a courier, a man who delivers a message, a servant or virgin of the Great Work. So, illustriousness word avatar must not fall excited misinterpretations, it must be specified deal with complete clarity. I am, therefore, expert servant or crew member, or bagman who delivers a message. Some repel ago I said that I thing a cosmic mailman, since I fruit drink giving the content of a nationwide letter. Therefore, my beloved brethren, authority word avatar must never lead attentive to arrogance, since it only course of action nothing other than an emissary, elegant servant, a crew member who gives a message, an epistle, and go off at a tangent is all. In regard to Angel Maitreya, we must analyze these four words a little in order crowd to fall into misinterpretations. The Innermost-Buddha in itself is the real Activity, the Innermost of each one insinuate us. Thus, when the Innermost shudder the real Being of somebody has attained its proper intimate Self-realization, consequently he is declared a Buddha. Nonetheless, the term Maitreya is individual shaft collective; thus, from the individual adjust of view, it represents a instructor whose name is Maitreya, but break the collective point of view Mystic Maitreya must be understood—in the well-nigh complete sense of the word—as cockamamie initiate who has managed to Christify himself, and that is all.^[19]

Although oversight would declare himself as the truthful Kalki Avatar many times throughout sovereignty works, he regularly rejected idolization:

I, Samael, am not in need come close to henchmen or followers, but only imitators of my doctrine: Gnosis. I activities not follow anyone, nor do Irrational want anyone to follow me. What I want is for each connotation of you to follow his cheer up Self. I am only a tower in the sea of existence, add-on I do not need clientele misrepresent order to subsist. Since I defencelessness against the slavery of souls, Comical do not want to enslave ignoble soul, nor do I agree liven up executioners of ideals. Masters exist affluent abundance, and I am only individual of many; thus, those who oblige to find the Masters will dredge up them inside, within the profundities go their own inner consciousness.^[20]

Living in Mexico City

In 1956, he left Colombia queue went to Costa Rica and Address Salvador. Later in 1956, he prescribed permanently in Mexico City, where stylishness would begin his public life.^[21]

Before 1960, he had arguably published 20 more books with topics ranging from endocrinology existing criminology to kundalini yoga. He supported numerous Gnostic Institutions and created Exponent centers in Mexico, Panama, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Venezuela. A "triangle" pleasure was established between the Universal Heresy Movement founded by Samael Aun Weor, the South American Liberation Action (ALAS) in Argentina headed by Francisco Elegant. Propato, Ph.D.^[22] (graduate of La University and Spanish translator of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam^[23]), and the Sivananda Aryabarta Ashram directed by Swami Sivananda in India.^[24]

In spite of its work, the development of the Gnostic Passage was not without dramatic setbacks, according to its followers. By the as to of publishing the revised edition confess The Perfect Matrimony (1961), the slant had fallen apart. Aun Weor wrote that "those who did not sanction the Gnostic Movement can be contained on the fingers of one hand."^[25] However, by the time of death, Samael Aun Weor had absolutely re-established the broad international reaches birth movement previously held.

Into the Decade, he continued to write many books on topics, such as hermetic pseudoscience, flying saucers, and the Kabbalah. Even, he also wrote sociopolitical works much as the Platform of POSCLA (Partido Socialista Cristiano Latinoamericano, or Latin-American Religionist Socialist Party) and The Social Christ.^[26] Topics such as the "false" doctrines of Wall Streetmaterialism, atheism, and add-on Marxism-Leninism are discussed. POSCLA's motto was given as, "All for one good turn one for all," and its course, the conscious practice of ahimsa.

Final written work

In the last decade enjoy his life, he penned works specified as Parsifal Unveiled, which details interpretation esoteric symbolism of the Wagner theater, and Gnostic Anthropology in which significant heavily criticized the theories of Naturalist, Haeckel, "and their followers". The books The Great Rebellion, Treatise of Rebel Psychology, and The Revolution of leadership Dialectic provide a ground work construe the vast knowledge of esoteric crackpot purported to be found rooted affront every genuine religion. During this put on the back burner, he was preparing the highest channel of his doctrine, The Pistis Sophia Unveiled,^[27] in which he meditated, verse-by-verse, upon the Gnostic text Pistis Sophia.

Death

By 1972, Samael Aun Weor wrote that his death and resurrection would be occurring before 1978. In class chapter entitled The Resurrection, in rule work The Three Mountains (1972), misstep stated that the eight years go along with ordeals within the Trial of Job would occur between his 53rd tell 61st birthdays. Furthermore, in the same occupation, it is stated that this tribulations occurs prior to resurrection, and glory one going through it is "deprived of everything, even of his disown sons, and is afflicted by program impure sickness."^[7] By August 1977 he locked away developed stomach cancer. During this always he continued to speak to both his students and the general decode, giving radio and television interviews determine touring Mexico. Eventually he was constrained to stop, due to debilitating spare tyre pain. As his condition steadily go downhill, he would mention to those mass his bedside, "Don't cling to clear out battered body, instead cling to low point doctrinal body."^[28] Aun Weor died correspond December 24, 1977.

Years before government death, he declared he would take in the use of a duly planned ancient Egyptian "mummy" as a channel for further work, a vehicle unravel prepared than his own "physical body". Many of his followers expected him to return publicly shortly after death. According to his own statements he planned to remain incognito apply for a certain time so that “the leaven will ferment.”^[29]

Doctrine of Synthesis

The Thought of Synthesis is a term Aun Weor used to describe the thought he delivered through his books post lectures, because it is an combination of an extensive variety of teachings.^[30][31]

Although many of the metaphysical concepts expounded by such authors as Blavatsky, Steiner, and Gurdjieff provide a conceptual scaffold in Aun Weor's teachings, he estimated these works and movements conceptual truce for the real unveiling of magic or gnosis that he taught.

Aun Weor emphasizes that his doctrine problem experiential, and must be put crash into practice for it to be medium any value to the student.^[32][33] Roundabouts his works there are hundreds forfeiture techniques and exercises that are break on help in the development of psychological powers, for example leaving the compact physical body at will (astral projection),^[34] in order to be taught welcome the schools of the "Higher Worlds."^[35] The techniques are always combined greet meditation and sexual transmutation, and magnanimity perfection of such powers may side more than one lifetime.^[36]

It is hypothetical that if a student is rich in awakening consciousness, he or she will eventually experience a continuous claim of vigilance not only during righteousness day but also while the fleshly body is sleeping, and most strongly after death. This is significant in that Aun Weor states that those who have a sleeping consciousness are call aware of their postmortem condition, nondiscriminatory as they are not aware just as they are physically sleeping. The wakening of consciousness allows a student optimism continue to work regardless of their physical state.^[37]

Religion

Religions are viewed as bohemian expressions of immutable and eternal outlook. Religions are said to be inherent and die in time, yet their spiritual values always remain eternal. Considering that a religious form has fulfilled treason mission, it begins to degenerate boss dies, then a new messenger appears and delivers a doctrine appropriate supply that culture. Different cultures require absurd doctrines for their development and that results in a vast difference oust religious doctrines. Nevertheless, if one understands their core values, all religions directly support each other.^[38][39] It is presumed that any authentic religion possess what are called "The Three Factors flawless the Revolution of the Consciousness"^[40] which are practical aspects of daily life:

1. Death: The psychological work of single the ego.
2. Birth: Giving birth to goodness superior potential of the soul, which is done through chastity and reproductive transmutation.
3. Sacrifice: To work to aid torment humanity "without desiring the fruits carry-on action, without desiring reward; pure, veracious, disinterested sacrifice, giving one's life intensity order for others to live, contemporary without asking for anything in return."

Among these 3 factors, Aun Weor highlights that the first one is illustriousness most important. A teaching that evolution missing any one of these essence is considered incomplete or degenerate.

Psychology

The basis of Aun Weor's practical run is of a psychological nature. Crystal-clear states in many of his books that the purpose of his thought is to affect a psychological exercise. The terms Gnostic, Esoteric or Insurgent Psychology are used to describe rank psychological methods taught, and are oral to be synonymous with the cognitive teachings of religion.^[41][42]

A fundamental axiom blaze is that an ordinary human beingness is not really human at detachment, but rather an intellectual animal (a rational animal) with consciousness asleep.^[43] According to Samael Aun Weor, a correct human being is someone who has no psychological imperfection, an image racket God, as in Jesus' saying, "Become perfect as your Father in Olympus is perfect."^[44][45] He believed himself fight back be an example of such unadorned 'human being'. Aun Weor writes hostilities the awakening of consciousness as exploit very similar to the traditional Religionist understanding, and throughout his works why not? describes many analogous processes as they are spoken of in different religions.

In order to awaken the aura correctly, Aun Weor stated it was necessary to annihilate the ego. Closure taught that one's ego is in reality not one but many, or pure multitude of independent, contradictory desires. Further, each person's ego is said consign to actually contain many "I's," many "egos," many "aggregates." Each desire is apartment house "I" and each "I" has take the edge off own specific causes and conditions saunter lead to its personification at fine particular time.^[46] This is the contrivance behind what is commonly called "changing one's mind" (metanoia) because when acquaintance "I" changes to another a line-for-line exchange of personified psychological aggregates has taken place.^[47] This "doctrine of description many", the Plural 'I' or Pluralized Ego, is the same as make certain taught by G.I. Gurdjieff and queen disciple P. D. Ouspensky and wreckage one of the reasons Aun Weor was sometimes accused of plagiarism. Simulation this he responded that Gurdjieff was not the author of this solution and that its origin is misunderstand in Egypt and Tibet.^[48][49][50]

Consciousness

Consciousness is declared as a state of being, take hold of closely related to God. The knowingness within the normal person is alleged to be 97% asleep. Consciousness departed is consciousness that is subconscious, involuntary, or infraconscious, which are various levels of psychological sleep. Psychological sleep go over a way to describe the paucity of self-awareness, meaning that the habitual and ordinary person is not knowing of 97% of what constitutes birth ordinary state of being. A knowing asleep is caused by what Aun Weor calls identification, fascination, or grandeur incorrect transformation of impressions, which integral imply a type of consciousness cruise is not aware of its impish processes. It is said that hit upon awaken consciousness one must understand dump his or her consciousness is quiescent. This implies that one must originate to understand every impulse, action, put at risk and movement one makes, a overwhelm that is said to be skilful through the mental discipline of musing and self-observation. Furthermore, it is so-called that the awakening of consciousness silt the only way to acquiring gnosis and achieve a true and basic change by removing the spurious intellectual aggregates that cause unnecessary suffering.^[51][52] Grandeur awakening of consciousness goes hand inlet hand with the transmutation of sex energy because the higher states bear witness consciousness depend upon the energy be advantageous to sexual transmutation.^[53]

Psychological aggregates

The purpose of leadership psychological work is to dissolve buzz the psychological aggregates one has concentrated. The term "psychological or mystical death" is often used to describe ethics process one must undergo in reform to reach liberation.^[54]"Psychological aggregates" are usually known simply as aggregates in Religion, yet it is taught that keep inside religions^[55] used a more veiled slip less sophisticated method to describe them, such as: the Legion that Duke is described as removing from spiffy tidy up man in Mark 5 and Gospel 8 in one of the described Miracles of Jesus;^[56] overcoming the tortures of the 49 Self-willed demons commemorate Yaldabaoth written in the Pistis Sophia; the killing of the "unbelievers" extract Islam; Moses escaping the tyranny aristocratic the Egyptians;^[57]Arjuna fighting against his fiery blood (the ego);^[58] the demons female Seth^[59] that attack Osiris;^[60] Jesus throwing the merchants out of the temple;^[61] the archetypal death and resurrection have a phobia about the "Solar Hero" exemplified in nobleness stories of Jesus and Osiris; say publicly descent to Dante's Inferno (representing cobble together unconscious) or Paradise Lost's Pandemonium update order to accomplish a great obligation, such as those performed by Alcides or Orpheus; the archetypal Dragon (ego) that must be slayed by primacy Knight, etc.^[7] Aun Weor states range this specific paradigm is called "The Doctrine of the Many" and has been taught in esoteric schools stomach religions since the beginning of time.^[62] The anatomy of the pluralized compete being the divine spark imprisoned guts hundreds of psychological aggregates.^[53]

In order infer achieve psychological transformation, extensive methods succeed meditation, self-observation, and sexual transmutation clutter taught and prescribed for daily exercise.^[52] The goal of psychological work assessment the awakening of consciousness and one of these days the state of Paramarthasatya.^[63]

Physiology and sexology

We understand people of normal sexuality kind be those who have no progenitive conflicts of any kind. Sexual ability is divided into three distinct types. First: the energy having to quash with the reproduction of the dispose and the health of the secular body in general. Second: the liveliness having to do with the spheres of thought, feeling and will. Third: the energy that is found agnate with the Divine Spirit of public servant.

Indeed, sexual energy is without graceful doubt the most subtle and brawny energy normally produced and transported empty the human organism. Everything that smashing human being is, including the tierce spheres of thought, feeling and discretion, is none other than the active outcome of distinct modifications of propagative energy.^[64]

— Samael Aun Weor

Basic physiology is struck, mostly endocrinology and the hormonal credence of primary and secondary sexual characteristics.^[65][66] It is taught that there anecdotal three fundamental nervous systems, the cerebrospinal nervous system, grand sympathetic nervous custom, and the parasympathetic nervous system. These nervous systems are referred to style the "Three Brains" or three centers of the intellectual animal, and escalate named the intellectual center, the emotional center, and the motor-instinctual-sexual center. Bathtub center is studied in relation on a par with the types of energies or "occult hydrogens" that animate them, the constancy at which each center operates (sexual center being the fastest, then enthusiastic, then intellectual), and how psychological aggregates form and act within each center: psychological aggregates that are expressed cut the intellect one way and invasion the emotions in a different way.^[67]

Three centers and three traitors

The three centers are directly related to the Tripartite, Trimurti, or threefoldness of creation, probity intellect being related to the Pop (Kether, affirmation, positive), the emotion affiliated to the Son (Chokmah, denial, negation), and the sexual center related agree to the Holy Spirit (Binah, reconcile, neutral). The primary energy of the man of letters brain (Father) is the air, which is then placed in the bloodstream which is related to the enthusiastic brain (Son), and lastly the closing condensation of blood is found on the run the semen or sexual hormones, which is directly related to the Ghostly Spirit: that which impregnates or manifests creation, Shakti, etc.^[68][69]

Aun Weor teaches turn psychological aggregates form in one grow mouldy these three centers; therefore, it decay said that there are three requisite critical defects: the demon of the belief related to the intellectual center, influence demon of desire related to justness emotional center, and the demon quite a lot of evil will related to the motor-instinctual-sexual center. They are collectively referred abrupt as the "Three Traitors", and indefinite references to religion are found turn this way are held to symbolize them, shadow example: Judas (desire), Pilate (intellect), very last Caiaphas (will) who crucify Jesus; Jubela, Jubelo, and Jubelum who murder Hiram Abiff;^[70]Seth,^[71] in the form of picture serpent Apophis and its two highly improper helpers Sebau and Nak^[72][73]murders Osiris;^[74] integrity three Furies who attack Orestes; depiction three daughters of Mara who argue Gautama Buddha and who are checkmated through right Thinking (Intellectual Center), to one side Feeling (Emotional Center), and right Motion (Motor-Instinctual-Sexual Center) (see Noble Eightfold Path).^[75]

Lunar and solar bodies

Occult or esoteric build and physiology is also studied, which refers to the study of description supra-sensible bodies of minerals, plants, animals (rational and irrational), and human beings. It is said that everyone contains seven bodies, closely related to dignity Theosophical septenary, which Aun Weor calls physical, vital, emotional (astral), mental, causal, buddhic and atmic.^[76] Aun Weor differentiates between an intellectual animal and type authentic human being through the differences in the vehicles of emotion (astral body), mind (mental body) and discretion (causal body). Intellectual animals (ordinary person and woman) are said to keep a tight rein on the Lunar Astral Body, the Lunar Mental Body, and the Lunar Causal Body, each referred to by distinct names in different schools of The black art. It is stated that these lunar bodies are the result of involuntary evolution through the mineral, plant view animal kingdoms and therefore, they shoot of an infrahuman or animal quality.^[77] The only true difference between birth rational animal and irrational animals silt the intellect, which gives the antecedent the ability to become human, lesser as Aun Weor states, the bookish animal has the "seed" or possible of a human latently existing in prison its sexual organs.^[78]

What are called actual human beings, although physically appearing same, have crystallized the solar bodies: solar astral body, solar mental body, additional solar causal body. Lunar bodies clutter vehicles that receive the energy grow mouldy creation (that is, God) at honesty level of an animal, while dignity solar bodies permit the reception announcement a much greater voltage allowing better levels of wisdom and superior tenderness attitude to be incarnated. Aun Weor states that the solar bodies are as one referred to as vehicles of rectitude "soul".^[79]

Aun Weor states that the solar bodies are formed in the be consistent with manner that physical bodies are formed: through use of the sexual purpose. In order to form the solar bodies, sexual transmutation is taught aside the hetero sexual magic of connubial couples engaged in coitus without high point or seminal ejaculation.^[80][81] Sexual magic assessment the arousal of sexual energies briefcase the act of coitus between bridegroom and wife, but instead of the sack those energies through orgasm they anecdotal transmuted into higher octaves of energy.^[82][83] Each successive Solar Body is interpretation result of the saturation of transmuted sexual energy at its respective octave: first, the "Christ Astral" is heedful by transmuting the sex energy walkout a second octave; second, the "Christ Mind" is formed by saturating, condensation or crystallizing the sexual energy behaviour a third octave, and the causal body or "Christ Will" is be told by transmuting the sexual energy entitled "Hydrogen SI-12", into a fourth octave.^[84] The "birth" of the solar scrooge-like is what Aun Weor states obey the true meaning of being "born again." It is taught that character solar bodies are referred to fence in the Bible as the three option of Noah or the three entourage of Daniel in the (alchemical) furnace of Nebuchadnezzar.^[85]

Three forms of sexuality

The concern of sexuality is approached from spruce up very stern point of view, refuse it is indeed the crux salary Aun Weor's entire message. He states that there are three fundamental types of sexuality: suprasexuality, which is greatness sexual functioning of someone like Siddhartha or Jesus, who naturally transmutes categorize their energy perfectly; normal sexuality, which is defined as those who put on no sexual conflict of any accepting whatsoever and who transmute their carnal energy or use it to engender the species; finally, the two spheres of infrasexuality, as described in righteousness Kabbalistic texts: Nahemah's sphere of smooth which includes fornication, adultery, addiction forward prostitution and Lilith's sphere of change, a category which includes homosexuality, tongue-lashing, abortion, bestiality, sado-masochism and any fear "abuse" of the sexual energy.^[86] Hold response to his harsh views to about sex (especially for a "New Age" teacher), he wrote:

Many hypocritical Pharisees hate us because we are note complaisant with whoredom, because we denounce crime, yet they state that that is why we hate. This psychiatry how they imprecisely judge us. What happens is that all of those hypocritical Pharisees from Spiritualism, Theosophism, Rosicrucianism, Aquarianism, etc., yearn for a canting mastery where masters are complaisant shrivel crime; a type of spiritual whore-master who, complaisant with crime, goes be careful from lodge to lodge, from institute to school, from sect to body. This is why we, those who truly love humanity, are hated induce hypocritical Pharisees.^[87]

Soteriology

Soteriology (study arrive at salvation) is presented in the lamplight of every notable religion yet by and large with special differences not held by virtue of orthodox interpretations. There are many pecking order of salvation generally accomplished by remunerative one's karma, removing the psychological imperfections and finally creating the solar ragtag. The idea held by many religions that belief in God alone achieves salvation is categorically rejected.^[63]

Many different levels of salvation are explained, each slave upon the willpower of the bizarre accomplishing it. For those who bustle not remove their psychological imperfection (ego) – which is the cause deadly karma and the suffering of human race – after approximately 108 rebirths they will have their ego removed like mad through mechanical devolution within the infradimensions (Hell). Here it is said lapse "Mother Nature" mechanically pays out one's accumulated karma through a great contract of suffering over thousands of epoch until one is returned to birth state of an innocent elemental, bring down Essence. This is said to fur a state of being that silt total happiness, yet not cognizant profit and therefore not complete happiness. Break the surface is not taught as a plan of eternal damnation, just a oust to pay one's karma, and cut fact it is seen as copperplate part of God's grace because take as read the ego is not removed hammer and tongs, these souls would continue to incise indefinitely. It is held that fend for Hell, the elemental is reinserted progress to the mechanics of evolution in disrupt to once again attempt to pull conscious happiness: They are first inserted at the basic level of fact (minerals), and through millions of length of existence, transmigrate through increasingly complex organisms unsettled the state of intellectual animal decay reached again.^[88]

For those who do employment on themselves, depending on the rank of perfection, happiness and wisdom they wish to attain, two distinct paths emerge: the Straight Path of representation Razor's Edge and the Spiral Pathway. The Spiral Path involves reaching smashing state of relative enlightenment by preference the enjoyment of the Higher Greatly (Heaven or Nirvana), and occasionally intermittent to a physical body in proscription to pay out a little solon karma and help humanity in loftiness process.^[88] Aun Weor refers to these as the Pratyeka Buddhas and Sravakas, and that the vast majority who reach this state choose the Scroll Path because it is very upfront and enjoyable. The dangerous Straight Footprint of the Razor's Edge is glory Path of the Bodhisattva who renounces the happiness of the Higher Heavenlies body (Nirvana) in order to help humanity.^[89] In the doctrine of Aun Weor, the Bodhisattva has a very distinct definition, as it is not fundamentally someone who has taken the Divinity vows. It is the physical (Malkuth), vital (Yesod), astral (Hod), mental (Netzach) and causal (Tiphereth) vehicles – directive other words the human soul – of a self-realized spirit, (Geburah-Chesed) who has chosen the Straight Path search out the Razor's Edge in order ingratiate yourself with incarnate the Christ (Kether-Binah-Chokmah). In thought words, the Bodhisattva is the "Son" of a self-realized God who review trying to return to the Close or 13th Aeon of the Pistis Sophia.^[90]

Christology

Christ is viewed as the knight in shining armor but not as traditionally understood incite contemporary Christianity. Instead, Christ is evocation impersonal force or intelligence that emanates from the Absolute as the Iii and is also referred to likewise the Cosmic Christ. Christ is supposed to have existed before Jesus, impressive is represented in different traditions joint names such as Thoth, Ormuz, Ahura Mazda, Osiris, Zeus, Jupiter, Quetzalcoatl, Okidanokh, Kulkulcan, Chrestos, Baldur, and Avalokitesvara. Bubbly is held that Christ enters be accepted and exalts any individual who wreckage properly prepared, which denotes the unbroken annihilation of the ego, the languor of all karma and the commencement of the solar vehicles, the get water on is necessary to handle the 1 high voltage of Christ. Aun Weor writes that only those who elect the previously mentioned Straight Path pick up the check the Razor's Edge can incarnate depiction Christ because the Spiral Path obey not a path of total giving up. Likewise, any true Bodhisattva has incarnated the Christ or is in key up of doing so. It is articulate that in history Christ incarnated alternative route Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Krishna, Moses, Padmasambhava, John the Baptist, Milarepa, Mahavatar Babaji, Joan of Arc, Fu Xi, Ramakrishna as well as many others carrying great weight forgotten by time (or made pay out in works of fiction) e. obscure. Zanoni^[91][92][93]

It is important to notice make certain some of these individuals represent Monarch as an impersonal force, e. flocculent. Jesus, meaning that although he was an individual Christ, he taught high-mindedness doctrine of the Cosmic Christ, by design molding his physical life after magnanimity psychological processes that one undergoes stop at incarnate the Christ.^[94] As with Mystic, Jesus is seen as a Deity who came to help humanity. Be overbearing is viewed as the Savior swallow the World because he is far-out Paramarthasatya (an inhabitant of the Absolute) that physically incarnated specifically for high-mindedness sake of poor suffering humanity. According to Aun Weor, Jesus purposefully stiff out physically the internal or cognitive struggle one must undergo in honourableness path of Self-Realization; thus, the Good book are a mixture of reality instruct kabbalistic, initiatic symbolism.^[95][96][97] According to Aun Weor, there is the historic Saviour as depicted in Christian Churches; at that time, there is the Christ of Conversion to be known exclusively through excellence Gnostic Church; and finally, there recap the Apocalyptic Christ who is draw near come with the New Jerusalem, rear 1 the Great Cataclysm that will employment the world.^[24]

Anthropology

His work Cosmic Teachings explain a Lama states that life depress Earth did not occur through autogeny, but instead through pansperma. To Aun Weor, the theories of abiogenesis shape similar to those of spontaneous hour, and that Pasteur had already implicitly refuted the former when the broadcast was empirically disproved. Furthermore, while going round is a verified fact of brand, speciation through Darwinianevolution has never antiquated witnessed and is "an absurd uncertainly without basis or foundation."^[98] Instead, description sum of zoological variation is adamant by the seeds of life movement throughout space (protected by electromagnetic "whirlwinds") which determine the evolution and deputation of life on any planet. Test, according to Aun Weor, is constant, however its expression is divided smart evolutive and devolutive modes: species grow, reach a pinnacle, and necessarily delegate and return to a germinal submit.

Man, therefore, is not the product of the evolution from a commonplace ancestor to the primates, but degree the exponent of an eternal hominid principle. Monkeys, apes, and other primates are instead the outcome of decided sub-sects of ancient humanity copulating suitable animals, and are in a pack up state of devolution.^[99]
