The fifteenth letter of the Kabbalistic alphabet, 0
Samech, is spelled with three letters 027: Samech, Mem,
and final Kaph.
Samech relates to the Ouroboros, which is that
serpent biting its own tail. In Kabbalah
(https: //gnosticteachings.org /faqs/kabbalah.html),
Samech, the Ouroboros, relates to that Ray that we call
Okidanokh, the Ray of Creation that emerges from the
Unknowable Divine. The Ray of Creation flows down
through the Tree of Life (the ten Sephiroth or spheres), to Malkuth (the
physical level) and even further, into the world of Klipoth (the inferior
dimensions) in the very center of any planet, exactly in the ninth sphere—the ninth sphere in the very center of the Earth where Dante Alighieri, the
writer of The Divine Comedy, found Lucifer. So, Samech is the letter related
with the mystery of Lucifer, which we are going to explain here related
with Kabbalah (https: //gnosticteachings.org /faqs/kabbalah.html) and with
other religions.
Lucifer is a Latin word that means ‘light carrier’—lux or luci is light, and
fer is from feri or forus, Latin and Greek for carrier or ferry, a boat that
carries from one shore to the other shore. We are going to illustrate these
different symbols.
The Absolute
To begin, we have to explain about the three aspects of the Absolute,
which are symbolized above the Tree of Life. The Tree of Life, the ten
Sephiroth or spheres that describe the universe, are ten spheres that
emerge from the Unknowable Divine that we call the Abstract Absolute
Space.
The Abstract Absolute Space is divided into three parts. In Kabbalah
(https: /gnosticteachings.org /faqs/kabbalah.htm)), the first part is called
yx Ain, which means “nothingness.” Ain is formed by three letters: Aleph,
Iod, and final Nun. Ain, the nothingness, is the abstract space from where
everything emerges. When we say the nothingness, it is not because it is
nothing, but because it is something unrelated with what we know in this
universe; it is something else, but not matter, not energy. Even though
matter and energy emerge from the Ain, it is not matter or energy. It is
impossible to describe that which is not matter, that which is not energy—
because everything that we might describe will always be explained
through matter and energy.The Three Aspects
of the Absolute ps
AIN
AIN SOPH
AIN SOPH AUR
Therefore, in different religions we find many ways in which this
nothingness is symbolized. For instance, related with Kabbalah
(https: //gnosticteachings.org/faqs/kabbalah.html), the word Ain, which
means nothingness, is written with Aleph and with lod, thus immediately
we look to the first Sephirah, which is Kether. Kether, the first Sephirah, is
symbolized by the letter Aleph but also, we stated, is symbolized by the
letter lod—and both letters are in the word Ain.
In the Zohar, the Kabbalists describe the Ancient of Days, Kether, which
is also called Arik Anpin, “the huge face.” They say that it shows only its
right side, never the left, because the left side of Arik Anpin, the Ancient of
Days, relates to the unknowable and the right side to the knowable. In
other words, from Him emerges the universe, but He emerges from the
unknowable. That is why we cannot see his left side. Only those beings
called Paramarthasatyas are capable of understanding the left side of the
Ancient of Days. The Paramarthasatyas are the inhabitants of the
unknowable, the inhabitants of Ain. They are not Gods; they are beyond the
Gods.
In Kabbalah (https: //gnosticteachings.org /faqs/kabbalah.html) there is
a word that describes the abstract force we call the Cosmic Common
Universal Father, which is how we call the Ain. In Kabbalah
(https: /gnosticteachings.org/faqs/kabbalah.html) it is calledxonxAElohim.
of AElohim negates, changing the meaning to “not Gods or Goddesses.” So
ox Elohim means “Gods and Goddesses.” The first x Aleph
AElohim refers to the nothingness. This is how in Kabbalah
(https: //gnosticteachings.org /faqs/kabbalah.html) we describe the Ain: A-
Elohim.
In the bosom of the AElohim are the Paramarthasatyas, beings
impossible to describe. In Christian terms (such as in The Pistis Sophia
(Zbooks-by-samael-aun-weor/the-pistis-sophia-unveiled.html)), this is
called “the thirteenth Aeon”
Within it, the px Ain, we find the letter x Aleph, which is the symbol of air,
the symbol of the wind; as you remember, we called it the Great Wind.
The letter » Samech resembles a nMem final. In both, the
Samech Mem Finalletter Iod looks like a wave. The letter final Mem resembles
the Samech. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between the final Mem
and Samech, because they look similar. The only difference is that final
Mem is a square and Samech is circular. Both have a» Iod at the left—that
lod is like a wave coming out. That Iod represents what in Sanskrit is called
Ishvara, which is a wave that appears and disappears in order to manifest
some power or wisdom from the unknowable into the universe. Ishvara is a
Purusha, the self-begotten, Brahma, the controller of the universe.Brahma has no form, He is what He is. But, in Himself,
He is the governor of the universe. He is Ishvara, the
eternal masculine principle, the universal principle of
life.
The three Logoi are the Tao, Brahatma, the universal
spirit of life; beyond them is the Absolute. These Three
Logoi emerge from this universal ocean of life (Mem
final); a tide that rises (the Iod) could be Ishvara, a
Purusha that instructs. Once he instructs he returns
into the ocean of the spirit (Mem final). He fuses
himself with the ocean of the spirit. - Samael Aun
Weor
When the x Aleph (of rx Ain) rotates, the » Samech is formed. The rotating
Aleph also forms a+ Iod, a spinning dot in space. Thus, the spinning letter
Aleph protrudes a spinning lod; yet the spinning force in both (Aleph and
Tod) is the Samech; so, upon this Ouroboros (spinning Aleph) appears the
spinning lod as a wave, within which is the fish, the ; Nun Sophit (Nun final)
of ps Ain.
The Hebrew word for snake is wn: Nahash and begins with a Nun. In
Aramaic, Nun means snake, eel or fish.” Nun is that entity or that force that
can become the Messiah if it emerges from the spinning Iod (the wave)from within the Ouroboros, the » Samech. The Nun symbolizes the sperm
and the ovum in us. So, likewise, we may say, if that sperm or ovum is
transmuted, then from it the Messiah can emerge. But in order for the
Messiah to emerge in the universe, it needs the activity of the Samech.
Without the Samech it is impossible for anything to appear from the Ain.
In this physical plane, we have the Nun, sperm and ovum, but without
the Samech, which is Lucifer, the sexual potency, no life can emerge. This is
why Samech is a spinning energy. It is a force that emerges from the
darkness. The Ain is called the Abstract Darkness. From the darkness
emerges the light. That light is the Samech, and we are going to
Kabbalistically explain why.
When we say darkness, it is darkness to us, because we do not have the
eyes to see that uncreated light. Where we see darkness, there is uncreated
light. We see it as darkness, but for the Paramarthasatyas it is light. If one
of us was taken into the Ain, we would see just a dark abyss—without limits,
without bottom, without top—no dimensions—bottomless, bottomless dark
abyss. That would be the Ain for us.
The Aztecs, Masters of ancient Mexico, described the Ain as the
Omeyocan. The Omeyocan is a place where you find only darkness and
wind. Within the Omeyocan is Tezcatlipoca, “the dark one,’ who is called
the smoking mirror, the Lord of Night. Let me read for you what is written
about the Omeyocan:Within the Omeyocan there are only wind and
darkness. The Omeyécan is also call Yoalli-Ehecatl,
because of the wind and darkness. Infinite quietude
whirls about in the Omeyocan before the
manifestation of the Solar Logos (which in this case is
the Samech).
The Omeyocan is the cosmic navel of the Universe
where the infinitely large bursts into the infinitely
small, in reciprocal whirls. The Omeyocan is the
Tloque-Nahuaque, it is a nocturnal tempest of all
possibilities. The Omeyocan is the navel where the
Diverse becomes Universe. The Omeyocan is the Lord
of the night, the black Tezcatlipoca who by denying his
self bursts into Light and is born within the Universe
that Quetzalcoatl, the Solar Logos fecundates. - Nahua
Philosophy
Quetzalcoatl is called the feathered serpent, the Ouroboros in the Nahua
religion—who is the origin of creation.
AElohim—the Ain-Elohim, the Not-Elohim—is that force latent in a very
abstract state that—through the Nun, the seed from which everything
emerges—originates the next part of the Absolute, which is called the mo px
Ain Soph.
mo Soph means “end or final.” From that word Soph comes Sophit, which
is used in Hebrew to indicate the final form of a Hebrew letter. There are
two types of Hebrew letters: the 22 normal ones and five alternates that are
written when the letter is used at the end of a word.The word >» Soph also means “reed,” a cane that grows in the water. If
you imagine a reed, a cane, it relates to the spinal column. The word Soph
is written with » Samech and 1 Vav. The letter Vav symbolizes the reed, the
spinal column, the cane, from where the light emerges in us. Soph ends
with 4 final Peh, which symbolizes a mouth. That reed is Soph. The Ain Soph
symbolizes the Divine Mother Kundalini
(https: //gnosticteachings.org/faqs/spirituality/3100-what-is-
kundalini.html), The feminine aspect of the Abstract Absolute Space is the
Ain Soph. We call her the Unmanifested Mother.
Be thou, oh Hadit (Ain), my secret, the Gnostic mystery
of my Being, the central point of my connection
(Samech), my heart itself (Vav), and bloom on my fertile
lips (Peh), made Word!
Up above, in the infinite Heavens, in the profound
height of the unknowable (the Ain Soph), the incessant
glow of light (Aur) is the naked beauty of Nut. She
reclines, she bends in delectable ecstasy, to receive the
kiss of secret fervor of Hadit (the Ain). The winged
sphere and the blue of the sky are mine. O the Ankh of
the princess-nesi-khonsu!
The Unmanifested Mother emerges from the Unmanifested Father. From
the Unmanifested Mother emerges the Word, the universe. We explained in
other lectures that the Ain Soph, the second aspect of the Absolute, is the
origin of the universe and the dissolution of the universe. In Sanskrit, we
call the origin Mahamanvantara, the great cosmic day. When that cosmic
day finishes, or is dissolved within the Ain Soph, we call it Mahapralaya,
great cosmic night. Every single universe, every single solar system has itsown Mahamanvantara and Mahapralaya. Likewise, we might say since in
this moment, we are alive we are in our own particular Manvantara, cosmic
day; but when we die, we enter into our own particular Pralaya, cosmic
night.
Ain Soph relates to the second aspect of the Absolute where we find the
letter Samech in the word Soph. From the Ain Soph emerges the Ray of
Creation. And how do we call that Ray of Creation? It is called light or Aur,
in Hebrew—Aleph, Vav, Resh. Aur, light, is the third aspect of the Absolute:
the Ain Soph Aur. The light (Aur, Christ) emerges from the Ain Soph and
appears in the universe as a lightning bolt; the end of that projecting ray of
light is symbolized in the Kabbalah
(https: /gnosticteachings.org /faqs/kabbalah.html) as Kether, as the Iod
that emerges, as one spot, one dot that emerges from the Abstract Absolute
Space.
The Ain Soph Aur is what we call “the Solar Absolute.” The Solar Absolute
is that light—that is why we call it Solar—but does not belong to the three
dimensional world; the Solar Absolute belongs to the seventh dimension. It
is in the depth of the seventh dimension. Any sun or any star, for instance
our own particular sun that is the center of our solar system, is a physical
vehicle of the Ain Soph Aur, the Solar Absolute. That is why the first
manifestation of that light that emerges from that Unknowable is the solar
energy. Let us imagine for instance, the ray of creation as the solar light
that travels in space in spirals, making a serpentine line. This is called the
quanta phenomena; it is the circular movement of the light that forms a
straight line; that straight line is what we call Okidanokh, which is that
hook, that connection, related with the letter Vav. One extreme reaches to
the unknowable, and the other extreme is in the knowable, the universe. So
when you see the extreme that is in the universe, you see only one roundspot, one dot of light; that dot of light is the very end of the Ray of Creation
that appears in the universe, but the other end is in the Abstract Absolute
space.
That is why the letter Vav ) of x AUR (Light) connects the (x Aleph of Ain,
the) unknowable to the (1 Reish of the) knowable.
And Ieshua said to his disciples: “(Eheieh) I am (the son
of Nun that) come forth out (of the spinning Aleph and
Jod) of (Ain, and) that First Mystery (Kether), which is
(connected to) the last (the Soph, the Reed, the Vav)
mystery that is (the Ain Soph) the four and twentieth
mystery (the Unknowable Mother).” And his disciples
(the Bodhisattvas) have not known nor understood that
anything existeth within that mystery (the Ain); but
they thought of that mystery, that it is the head (the
Rosh) of the universe and the head (the Reish) of all
existence; and they thought it is the completion of all
completions, because Ieshua had said to them
concerning that mystery (Kether), that it surroundeth
the First Commandment and the five (Penta)
Impressions (Grammaton) and the great Light (Aur,
Okidanokh) and the five Helpers and the whole
Treasury of the (uncreated) Light. — Pistis Sophia
In the Earth, in this planet, the light of the Solar Absolute manifests
through the sun, the center of our solar system. From the sun emerges that
ray of light that appears first in this Earth as the morning star, which is the
planet Venus. Before the sun shines in the east, before sunrise, the first starthat appears is Venus. Likewise, after the sun sets
the first star that appears is Venus. Venus was
symbolized in ancient Egypt with the Ankh cross.
Still today in astrology you find the symbol of Venus
as a circle with a cross on the bottom. The same
symbol symbolizes Lucifer. That is why Venus is
called Venus-Lucifer—the first star that appears in
the morning, the star of the morning, the dawning
star.
The Ankh of the princess Nesi-Khonsu is Lucifer. When that spot of light,
Venus, appears in the atmosphere, the solar light emerges afterwards, then
all the atmosphere is filled with the solar light of Lucifer—who is “the
Carrier of the Light.” In other words, all the wisdom that we receive in the
planet Earth comes to us through Venus. It comes from the solar light, from
the Solar Absolute, but Venus is the connection. This is how you find the
meaning of the name of Lucifer, “carrier of light”
The Popol Vuh describe this light that appears at the dawn of times, and
how two beings Tezcatlipoca, the dark one, and Quetzalcoatl, the light one
or the feathered serpent appear.Then came the (Mayan) word. Tepeu (Tezcatlipoca -
Nahua) and Gucumatz (Quetzalcoatl - Nahua) came
together in the darkness, in the night, and Tepeu and
Gucumatz (Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl) talked
together. They talked then, discussing and
deliberating; they agreed, they united their words and
their thoughts. Then while they meditated, it became
clear to them that when dawn would break, man must
appear. Then they planned the creation, and the
growth of the trees and the thickets and the birth of
life and the creation of man. Thus it was arranged in
the darkness and in the night by the Heart of Heaven
who is called Huracan.
The first is called Caculha Huracan. The second is
ChipiCaculha. The third is Raxa-Caculha. And these
three are the Heart of Heaven.
Then Tepeu and Gucumatz came together; then they
conferred about life and light, what they would do so
that there would be light and dawn, who it would be
who would provide food and sustenance.
Thus let it be done! Let the emptiness be filled! Let the
water recede and make a void, let the earth appear and
become solid; let it be done. Thus they spoke. Let
there be light, let there be dawn in the sky and on theearth! There shall be neither glory nor grandeur in our
creation and formation until the human being is made,
man is formed. So they spoke. - Popol Vuh
Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl refer to the two intelligences: the one that
will remain unknowable and the one that emerges from it, the knowable, or
in other words as we say in Kabbalah
(https: //gnosticteachings.org /faqs/kabbalah.html), A-Elohim and Elohim—
because Elohim is created from A-Elohim.
We always talk about the Book of Genesis in our lectures and we always
talk about mvxn Bereshith, the first word of the Bible. Bereshith is an
anagram that explains all of these mysteries.
The unknowable, namely A-Elohim, is hidden in the very first words of
Genesis: o7>x x72 nuxn2 Bereshith Bera Elohim. The word mwx72 Bereshith in
this case means “the intimate worthy son.” After Bereshith you find the
word xn2 Bera: Bereshith Bera, which can be translated as, “In the beginning
created.” The phrase Bereshith Bera Elohim is usually translated as, “In the
beginning God created.” But as we said, Bereshith Bera Elohim means many
things. Furthermore, the original Hebrew does not have spaces between
letters or words. The spaces are added to clarify meanings. Thus, by
looking at the letters without the spaces, other meanings can be seen. So
Bereshith can also mean “the intimate worthy son.” Bar means son in
Aramaic. Bera is written with x12 Beth, Reish and Aleph. If you separate the
Aleph from Bera, you then have 73 Bar (Beth and Reish) which means “son.”
Then we unite the isolated Aleph to the word Elohim, thus we read Bar
AElohim, “the Son of Aelohim” (two Alephs). So you read Bereshith Bar A-
Elohim:
DTNNIIYWRIDBeresheet Bar AElohim
So the translation in this case, related with the letter Samech, will be:
PUNT DR) DWAR DOR NID WRI
“The intimate worthy Son of Aelohim (which is Lucifer), is the word in
Schamayim and the word in the Earth. Yet in the earth it exists without
form and it goes astray”
This means that within us the light exists without form and it goes
astray.
Lucifer and Satan
In chemistry, Lucifer is that element called phosphorous. We take
phosphorous from the atmosphere, through the food that we eat, through
the air that we breathe, through the water that we drink. The word
phosphorous comes from gms phos "light" (related to phainein "to show, to
bring to light;") + phoros “bearer,” from gopém pherein "to carry"; carrier of
light—thus, that is the meaning of phosphorous in Greek. You find
phosphorous in your semen, bones, and urine. Scientists discovered that
element in urine. We have it everywhere, in the very marrow of our bones.
Phosphorous is Greek, and is similar to Latin, which is Lucifer, literally,
“light-bringing,’ from lux (gen. lucis) + ferre "carrier". Lucifer carries energy,
solar force. You use solar force when you strike a match in order to light a
candle. So Lucifer, as you see, is not a person; it is a force, it is an energy.
Each one of us has his own particular, individual Lucifer. That is why I said,
“Yet in the earth it exists without form and it goes astray,’ because the
synthesis of all of that light resides in the semen, in the sperm and the
ovum, and it goes astray because we ejaculate that like animals. Thus, this is
how Lucifer is transformed into Shatan, the adversary within us— when weejaculate Lucifer out, that light is transformed into Shatan or Satan,
darkness, and creates that which we call ego
(https: //gnosticteachings.org /faqs/psychology/1761-what-is-ego.html),
lust (https: //gnosticteachings.org /faqs/sex/1668-what-is-lust.html),
inside of us. Thus darkness is upon the face of the abyss (that abyss is our
subconscious, unconscious, infra-conscious);

"But yields to the Spirit of the Goddess (Elah) of the sea (im) that hovers upon the
face of the waters, when the Godess (Elah) fo the sea (im) says: Let there be light:
(Aur) and there is (the) light (Aur of the Ain Soph)”
Who is this Spirit of the Goddess (Elah) of the sea (im) or the Ruach Eloh-
im that in accordance to the Book of Genesis hovers upon the face of the
waters? Remember it is written that, in the beginning the Ruach Elohim
was hovering upon the face of the waters. That Ruach Elohim (0°79x 19) is
the same Lucifer, the Spirit (719) of the Goddess (7798) of the sea (0°), the son
of the Ain Soph, ‘AUR’ the son of the dawn, but unfolded, transformed. The
first manifestation of ‘AUR’ Lucifer appears in Kether. The Iod is an
unfoldment of Lucifer. If you prefer, you can call him Christophorus,
because there are some people who may be Christians and feel scared
when hearing the word Lucifer. So, Christophorus is the first manifestation
of the Unknowable—Christophorus—which is translated as Christopher.
Christophorus means “carrier of Christ.” In the Catholic Church there are
people that worship St. Christopher or St. Christophorus; the symbol of this
saint relates to Lucifer. Christ is a Greek word while Lucifer is a Latin word,
and both have the same meaning.
So that light (Hebrew Aur, Latin Lux, Greek Phos), which is Kether,
emerges from the Unknowable then descends through Chokmah into Binah
and through Daath into Chesed. Chesed is that Sephirah where we find
again the letter Samech. Chesed is spelled Chet, Samech, Daleth. Accordingto Moses and the Zohar, Chesed is that Ruach Elohim that was hovering
upon the face of the waters—the Akashic waters of the beginning in the
universe and also the Akashic waters in us.
The ray of creation descends through the Sephiroth of the Tree of Life,
from Chesed to Geburah to Tiphereth to Netzach to Hod and to Yesod.
Yesod relates to the sexual force and is where we find the letter Samech
again—Yesod (lod, Samech, Daleth). There are only two Sephiroth in the
Tree of Life spelled with Samech: Chesed and Yesod.
Chesed is that Ruach Elohim, our own particular spirit, the only one that
can control the waters and who can take the fire from the waters of
sexuality, as we explain here—since normally intellectual animals expel that
light, that Lucifer, through the orgasm
(https: //gnosticteachings.org /faqs/sex /1671-what-is-orgasm.html),
through the spasm, out of their bodies.
Lucifer is that phosphorous which in our body, gives us sexual strength—
it is life in our body. It seems funny that many people, when they name
Lucifer, they immediately reject that and say, “Oh, it is an evil entity’"—they
do not like Lucifer. Meanwhile, Lucifer is in the marrow of their bones.
Meanwhile, Lucifer is in their blood. Meanwhile, Lucifer is in their urine,
and circulates in their nervous system. So in other words, they are saying
that they are afraid of themselves, because Lucifer gives life. Without
Lucifer, creation cannot exist; without Lucifer, men cannot have the
erection, neither can the woman have humidity for the sexual act. Lucifer
grants that in order for us to perform the sexual act.
When Eve was taken from Adam—it is written in the Book of Genesis—
Elohim closed up the flesh, because Eve was taken from one side of Adam;
that side was the feminine side because at that time Adam was
androgynous, male-female. So the word “closed up the flesh” is written
with Samech as well: sagar, “close up.” It means that the woman became thesupport of the man, because the letter Samech means support. That is why
the letter Samech is in Yesod, sex, because it is a support of life. Without
Samech, life cannot exist; without Samech, the universe cannot exist,
because Samech is the Ouroboros that originates the light. The Ouroboros
is Lucifer. That is why Samael Aun Weor wrote,
If the Logos surged from within the Unknowable
Divine, the Devil gave Him liberty to do it. - Samael
Aun Weor
When people read the former quotation they say: “What is this, the devil
gave permission to God in order to appear?” Yes. This refers to the
Ouroboros, because the Elohim, which is “Gods and Goddesses,” are the
creators, but behind them is the Ouroboros that comes from AElohim. In
other words the Ouroboros, the ray of creation, divides itself into three
aspects when manifesting itself in the universe.
Lucifer emerging from the darkness, from the Unknowable, remains
unmanifested within the Solar Absolute, but when he is manifested he
divides into three. These three aspects are what we call in Kabbalah
(https: //gnosticteachings.org/faqs/kabbalah.html) Kether, Chokmah,
Binah: the crown, wisdom, and understanding. In Christianity they are
called Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The most beautiful atoms of Lucifer
shine in Chokmah which is called the Son, which in Christianity is called
the Christ.
Let me now read for you something that is written in the Book of
Revelation:J, Ieshua (Jesus) have sent mine angel to testify unto
you these things in the churches. I am the root and the
offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. —
Revelation 22: 16
When many people read this statement in the Book of Revelation, they
say: “What? Jesus is Lucifer, the bright and the morning star?”—which is
Venus. Yes, Jesus said:
Iam the light of the world (the solar light): he that
followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have
the light of life (Yesod, sex). - John 8:12
And Jesus said:
Iam the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh
unto the Father, but by me. - John 14:6
Ieshua is Lucifer, the Ouroboros. This is why in Gnosticism we call him
Christus-Lucifer, that entity that descends from the Unknowable and
comes down to hell, because without Christus-Lucifer, the Ouroboros,
there can be no life, not even in hell.
In India, Christus-Lucifer is called
Shiva. Shiva is always represented as
dancing in the middle of a circle. In Hindu
mythology, Shiva is the originator of life
and is unknowable but appears as
knowable after that, after Brahma and
Vishnu—because the trinity of Hinduism.
is: Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva; but the one that
is behind Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva is Shiva.Shiva is the creator and destroyer. Indeed, Lucifer is a force that creates
and destroys. In us that force manifests in the sexual force, sexual energy;
it all depends what we do with the sexual energy. If we want to say, “let
there be light,’ then that light will rise in the spinal column. But remember
that the one that says that is the Ruach Elohim that is hovering upon the
face of the sexual waters.
That (Lucifer) was the true Light, which lighteth every
man that cometh into the world. He was in the world,
and the world was made by him, and the world knew
him not. He came unto his own, and his own received
him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he
power to become the children of God, even to them
that have faith on his name: Which were born, not of
blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of
man, but of God (Chesed). And the Word was made
flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of
grace and truth. - John 1: 9-14
That is why the ankh cross which is the symbol of Venus was very sacred
in ancient Egypt and here we find also the God Sobek—it begins with
Samech as well. This sacred crocodile Sobek is symbolized as one flame
with two wicks or two flames which symbolize the divine soul
(https: //gnosticteachings.org/glossary/s/2890-soul.html) and the human
soul (https: //gnosticteachings.org/glossary/s/2890-soul.html), which in
Kabbalah (https: //gnosticteachings.org /faqs/kabbalah.html) are Geburah
and Tiphereth. As we always state, the second triangle of the Tree of Life(which is beneath Kether, Chokmah, Binah) and is Chesed, Geburah,
Tiphereth, and symbolizes the Monad, the Spirit. In ancient Egypt that is
called the sacred crocodile Sobek.
That sacred crocodile Sobek has a human form, just the head with the
crocodile, and in his hand he has the ankh cross, symbol of Venus, and the
staff of the priests. Let me read for you what Egyptians say about this
sacred crocodile, Sobek:
Iam Sobek, who dwelleth amid his terrors. I am Sobek,
and I seize [my prey] like a ravening beast. I am the
great Fish which is in Kamui. I am the Lord to whom
bowings and prostrations are made in Sekhem. And the
Osiris Ani is the lord to whom bowings and
prostrations are made in Sekhem.
This sacred crocodile is a symbol of our own Spirit (Chesed). In other
words, every one of us inside has his own Ruach Elohim, his own Sobek,
sacred crocodile. And this explains why the Rabbis say in the Zohar that
when we talk about Kabbalah
(https: //gnosticteachings.org/faqs/kabbalah.html) we have to become
crocodiles, so they took their philosophy, their wisdom from Egypt. Let us
interpret for you what the Zohar says.The following precept is to discuss the laws
concerning locusts. We learned that fish and locusts
do not require slaughter, but it is their gathering that
makes it permissible to eat them. Such are the sages of
the Mishnah. They do not need slaughtering by the
angel of death (Apollyon, Angel of Destruction) but it
says of them, ‘and expired, and was gathered to his
people" (Genesis 49:33). Just as the fish of the sea live
in the sea, so do the Torah students and the sages of
the Mishnah live in the sea, and if they are separated
from the Torah they immediately die. They are the
crocodiles of the Mishnah wherein grow the sea
crocodiles. And if those who live on dry land, namely
those who have no torah in them, fall into the water,
namely into the torah, but cannot swim, namely a
student who did not become a teacher yet teaches,
they die. But ‘Man; who are the Kabbalah
(https: /gnosticteachings.org/faqs/kabbalah html)
sages are above all. Of them it says, "and have
dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of
the air" (Genesis 1:28), who are the Mishnah sages the
crocodiles. The great crocodile is "the flying (Heb.
bariach) serpent" (Isaiah 27:1) that corresponds to "the
middle bar (Heb. bariach) in the midst of the boards"
(Exodus 26:28), which is the central column, Tiphereth.
- ZoharThe angel of destruction resides in the ninth sphere—according to the
Book of Revelation it is the angel of the abyss, the angel Apollyon who
releases the locusts in the end of times and punishes only those that do not
have the Seal of God on their foreheads. The angel of death, the angel of
destruction, Apollyon, relates to the forces of destruction of Shiva, the Holy
Spirit, Lucifer. So the sages of Kabbalah
(https: //gnosticteachings.org /faqs/kabbalah.html) are not slaughtered by
the angel of destruction.
But it says of them, ‘and expired, and was gathered to
his people" (Genesis 49:33).
Listen now to this:
Just as the fish (Nun) of the sea (Heb. Im) live in the
sea, so do the Torah students and the sages of the
Mishnah (Kabbalah
(https: /gnosticteachings.org/faqs/kabbalah html)
students and the sages of Eloah-Va-Daath,
Schamayim) live in the sea (Mayim, Yesod) and if they
are separated from the Torah (Eloah, Schamayim,
Daath in Mayim, Yesod) they immediately die.
Who are the sages of Mishna? They are the sages of Eloah Va Daath.
Eloah means “Goddess.” Va Daath means “and knowledge”. Eloah Va Daath is
the sacred name of God in Tiphereth. These are those who study
Kabbalah... They live in the sea (which is Yesod) thus, if they are separated
from Shamayim (Daath) they immediately die.They are the (Tanniyn) men and women (crocodiles of
the house of Levi, priesthood of Yesod, sex; they are
those who conceive a son, Moses - the Levi-athan
within -: And if those who live on dry land (namely
those who have not been initiated into the Tantric
knowledge of Daath) fall into the water (namely into
the studies of Kabbalah
(https: Zgnosticteachings.org/faqs/kabbalah.html))
but cannot swim (namely a fornicator who did not
become a Master of Daath) yet teaches, they die.
But ‘Man’ (the androgyne Adam), who are (represent)
the Kabbalah
(https: /gnosticteachings.org/faqs/kabbalah html)
sages (the Daath Masters of Kabbalah
(https: /gnosticteachings.org/laqs/kabbalah.html))
are above all.
Genesis 1: 28 refers to them when states:
And Eloah-im blessed them, and Eloah-im said unto
them, Be fruitful (according with thy Ruach Eloah-im
that hovers upon thy waters), and multiply (thy Ruach
Eloah-im’s seed), and replenish the earth (Malkuth,
your physical body with it), and subdue it: and have
dominion (as a Tanniyn, crocodile) over the fish of the
sea (Yesod), and (as a Leviathan, flying serpent) over
the birds of heaven (Schamayim, Daath), and overevery living thing that hovers upon the earth. Who are
the Mishnah sages, the crocodiles. The great crocodile
is "the flying (Heb. bariach) serpent" (Isaiah 27:1)
In that day lod-Havah with his sore and great and
strong sword shall punish leviathan the flying serpent
(Nachash Bariach), even leviathan that crooked
serpent, and he shall slay the crocodile (Tanniyn) that
is in the sea. — Isaiah 27: 1 that corresponds to "the
middle bar (Heb. bariach) in the midst of the boards"
(Exodus 26:28), which is the central column, Tiphereth.
- Zohar
All of this means that when we study Kabbalah
(https: //gnosticteachings.org/faqs/kabbalah.html), we are like fish in the
sea; this sea is Yesod and Daath, because there are two seas or two waters.
Schamayim is called Daath which is translated as heaven, the fiery waters,
and Yesod is Mayim, the lower waters. So we have two waters—the superior
and inferior. We manage and control those waters when we know the
mystery of alchemy, which is Daath, the tree of good and evil, the tree of
knowledge. When we learn how to transmute the sexual waters, we
become crocodiles and we develop the wisdom of Kabbalah
(https: //gnosticteachings.org/faqs/kabbalah.html). This is precisely what
the sages of Zohar state; this is why they say they are the tanniyn—which in
Hebrew means crocodile. They are the man and woman crocodiles of the
house of Levi—priesthood of Yesod (sex) who conceive a son whose name is
Moses, the Leviathan—because when we talk about Lucifer we talk about
the Leviathan which is precisely that winged serpent that we call
Quetzalcoatl in Nahua. So they conceive the Leviathan within; and if those
who live on dry land, namely those who have not been initiated into thetantric knowledge of Daath, fall into the water, into the wisdom of Kabbalah
(https: //gnosticteachings.org/faqs/kabbalah.html), namely into the studies
of Kabbalah (https: //gnosticteachings.org /faqs/kabbalah.html), but cannot
swim, it is because they do not transmute. They cannot swim because they
cannot understand the mystery of Daath, you see?—Therefore, a Kabbalist
fornicator who did not become a master of Daath yet teaches, they die
because they do not pass the ordeal of water.
But the androgynous Adam, who represents the Daath, Master of
Kabbalah (https: //gnosticteachings.org /faqs/kabbalah.html), is above all of
creation. So we have to become an androgynous Adam. Remember that we
always state that Adam is Chesed, which represents the crocodile; when
you become a real androgynous Adam, made in the image of God, you
become a crocodile—and that crocodile becomes a Leviathan—this is what
the Zohar states. I was repeating what the Zohar, the book of Kabbalah
(https: //gnosticteachings.org/faqs/kabbalah.html) of Judaism states.
Genesis 1:28 states this; it confirms what we are asserting:
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be
fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and
subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea,
and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing
that hovers upon the earth.
And Elohim blessed them and Elohim said to them, be fruitful in
accordance to the Ruach Elohim that hovers upon your waters and multiply
thy Ruach Elohim (seed) and replenish the earth, (which is your physical
body, Malkuth) and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea, as
a Tanniyn, as a crocodile and as a Leviathan (flying serpent) over the birds
of heaven (Shamayim) and over every living thing that hovers upon the
earth.Thus according to Genesis, we (as the androgynous Adam) must have
dominion over the fish of the sea and every living creature that flies above
or that hovers upon the earth; so, this is in regard to the real Adam. This is
the mystery of the letter Samech that teaches how to do it through
Christus-Lucifer.
The Fire of Christ
We can carry the light of Christ within us. This is the mystery of
Christopher or St. Christophorous, who according to legend was a giant, a
titan. That titan or giant symbolizes Lucifer, which is that force created
before the universe—as you find for instance in the stories of the Eddas (the
German Bible), Lucifer appears there with the name of Loki, and in
Wagner's opera, Loki’s name is Loge, which is the God of fire. Like
Prometheus in Greek mythology, that is a creature created before the Gods
became the owners of the universe.
Remember that according to Greek mythology, Prometheus stole the fire
of the sun and gave it to the man; he put that fire into a small cane—symbol
of “Soph’—that cane is in the spinal column. Prometheus gave that fire to
the man in order to have dominion like the Gods, because only the Gods
have power over the fire. In other words, without the fire, the Gods cannot
be Gods. You find the same symbol with Agni the God of fire in Hinduism.
Because of the daring act of giving the fire to man, Zeus commanded the
Gods to take Prometheus and to chain him to the rock—that rock is called
Yesod, or the rock of sex.
We have the solar fire in our body. It is enough for us to transmute it
through Tantra (https: //gnosticteachings.org /faqs/sex /1675-what-is-
tantra.html) in order to make light in the darkness. Prometheus is that, and
is suffering, because he is crucified to the rock, sex. This is the samemystery as the crucifixion of Jesus, because of giving the gift of fire to man,
Prometheus is chained or crucified to the rock. What is the torture of
Prometheus? During the day a vulture—sometimes they says an eagle, but it
seems more a vulture than an eagle—descends and starts eating his liver,
his guts, during the day and he cannot do anything because his arms,
hands, and legs are open and he suffers the indescribable. When the sun
sets, the vulture leaves and then by dint of magic his guts are healed during
the night; so when the vulture returns the next day—he is already healed—
and does the same thing again. That is the torture of Prometheus; and all of
this because he gave the fire to man.
Well, you might wonder, “What is the meaning of this?” Well, listen: this
is the Samech descending from heaven into our own body! During the night
when we go to sleep, the vital body, which is the superior part of the
physical body, absorbs the solar energy which Lucifer (Samech) placed in
the atmosphere. The chakras of the vital body absorb that energy and
transfer it from the vital body into the physical body through the nervous
system; this is what happens every time that we go to sleep. This is how
Prometheus places the solar light within our bodies. But during the day
what do we do? We squander the Luciferic force—we squander the Christic
solar force through the seven capital sins that we have within, especially
lust (https: //gnosticteachings.org /faqs/sex/1668-what-is-lust.html),
which is represented by that vulture. The solar energy is stored in the liver
and the spleen, in this area of the abdomen, you see, it is the solar plexus,
where we have the solar energy—in the kidneys also. The kidneys, liver,
spleen, are the main organs that absorb the energy from the atmosphere
and transfer it into the physical body. But, we fornicate, we commit
adultery, we have explosions of hatred and anger, pride, laziness, gluttony,
all the defects that we carry within, the ego—that is the vulture that eats
the guts of Lucifer, and during the night we rest and we are again energized
the next day, ready for the vulture to eat again and again the guts of Lucifer.Lucifer is suffering inside each one of us. This is what happens every
single night, every single day within us. When people read that myth they
always associate that with, “Oh, some imaginary God of the past.” Listen:
every myth represents a truth hidden within each one of us.
That (Christus-Lucifer) was the true (solar) Light,
which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
He (as solar light) was in the world, and the world was
made by him, and the world knew him not. He (as solar
light) came (into the atmosphere of the world and)
unto his own (as a thief in the night), and his own
received him not (because of their lustful vulture). But
as many as received him (through Pranayama
(https: /gnosticteachings.org/faqs/sex/1672-what-is-
pranayama.html) or sexual alchemy), to them gave he
power to become the sons of God, even to them that
have faith on his name: Which were born, not of blood,
nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the (evil) will (Hebrew
ratzon) of man, but of God's (ratzon, the Holy Spirit). -
John 1: 9-13
This is why we teach Gnosis
(https: //gnosticteachings.org /introductory-information /12-what-is-
gnosis.html) (Daath) in order for us to resuscitate Christus-Lucifer, chained
to the rock-sex because of our transgression, because of our fornication
(https: //gnosticteachings.org /faqs/sex/1666-what-is-fornication.html)
and all of that perversity that we do. By means of the Gnostic practices we
transform that Ouroboros, that light into darkness. As the Book of Genesisstates: the earth is in darkness and without form—but if we follow the path
the Ruach Elohim will say, “let there be light” and there was light. That light
should develop inside of us.
And (this is how) the Word (Christ, the Messiah) was
made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his
glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, -
Christus-Lucifer) full of grace and truth. - John 1:14
Samech means “support” and this is why Christ as a baby is being carried
by Christophorous, a giant, who carries the baby Christ on his shoulders.
This is precisely what we carry when we transmute, because the light,
which is Christ, symbol of the solar light, is carried by this giant, which has
the face of a dog—the dog is always symbol of lust
(https: /gnosticteachings.org /faqs/sex /1668-what-is-lust.html), symbol of
reproduction, symbol of the sexual energy. So it means that in the sexual
energy is where we carry the baby Christ.
According to this myth, in the beginning
Christophorous was a dog-faced man, he was a
man-eating ogre. Yet when he was baptized, he
changed into a saint. Let us not talk
superficially and think that because he went
into a church and received water onto his head
he became a saint in that moment. Baptism
means to transmute the waters of sexuality; it
is a process in which our own dog face is
transformed, because in this case, it is each one
of us—the dog face is a symbol of this giant that
carries the Lord on his shoulders and who
changed his habits. That is, we are man-eating ogres doing the ugly things
