(c. A.D. 250-325) Among the most important of the Neoplatonic philosophers. He was a student of Plotinus’ disciple Porphyry. His influential treatise On the Mysteries of Egypt expresses High Magic, which operates through the agency of the gods. Agrippa refers frequently to Iamblichus in his Occulta Philosophia. Iamblicus wrote, "They (the Beings we invoke) will not hearken to the person who is invoking them if he is not pure from sexual contamination..." And, "Theurgy unites us more strongly with divine nature. This nature is engendered by itself and acts in accordance with its own powers. It is intelligent and sustains everything; it is the ornament of the universe and invites us to the intelligent truth, to perfection, and to share this perfection with others. It unites us so intimately to all the creative acts of the Gods in proportion to the capacity of each one of us. After accomplishing these sacred rites, the soul is consolidated within the actions of the intelligence of the Gods until identifying itself with them. Thus it is absorbed by the primeval and divine Essence. Such is the object of the sacred initiations of the Egyptians."

(Sanskrit avidya, Tibetan ma rig pa) Mistaken apprehension of the nature of phenomena, and the tendency to assign false qualities onto them.

"There is no doubt that ignorance is the worst of all disgraces." - Revolutionary Psychology  

Emptiness. Satori. Sunyata.

"The Illuminating Void is impossible to describe in human words.  It is indefinable or indescribable.  As was said by the Zen teacher Huai Jang: “Whatever is said misses the main point.” Buddhist teachings about Emptiness are comprehensive and profound and require much study before being understood.Only in the absence of the ego can we directly experience Illuminating Emptiness." - The Mystery of the Golden Blossom

The process whereby the Innermost (the Inner Father) receives recognition, empowerment and greater responsibilities in the Internal Worlds, and little by little approaches His goal: complete Self-realization, or in other words, the return into the Absolute. Initiation NEVER applies to the "I" or our terrestrial personality.

"Only the Innermost is the unique One who receives Initiations, Degrees and Feasts. The Initiations are for the Innermost. You are nothing else but a shadow which must be annihilated." - The Aquarian Message

"Nine Initiations of Minor Mysteries and seven great Initiations of Major Mysteries exist. The INNERMOST is the one who receives all of these Initiations. The Testament of Wisdom says: “Before the dawning of the false aurora upon the earth, the ones who survived the hurricane and the tempest were praising the INNERMOST, and the heralds of the aurora appeared unto them.” The psychological “I” does not receives Initiations. The human personality does not receive anything. Nonetheless, the “I” of some Initiates becomes filled with pride when saying 'I am a Master, I have such Initiations.' Thus, this is how the “I” believes itself to be an Initiate and keeps reincarnating in order to “perfect itself”, but, the “I” never ever perfects itself. The “I” only reincarnates in order to satisfy desires. That is all." - The Aquarian Message

The qualifications of the consciousness as it ascends into greater degrees of wisdom. The first five Initiations of Major Mysteries correspond to the creation of the real Human Being. 

"High initiation is the fusion of two principles: Atman-Buddhi, through the five principal Initiations of Major Mysteries. With the first we achieve the fusion of Atman-Buddhi, and with the fifth, we add the Manas to this fusion, and so the septenary is reduced to a trinity: “Atman-Buddhi Manas.” There are a total of Nine Initiations of Major Mysteries." - The Zodiacal Course

"The fact that I have previously spoken of five Initiations of Major Mysteries and now I come to speak of nine will appear contradictory to many people.  Therefore, I must clarify myself: We fulfill our human evolution with the five Initiations of Major Mysteries.  The remaining three Initiations and the degree of “Lord of the World” are of a “Super-Human” nature." - Occult Medicine and Practical Magic

The probationary steps required of all who wish to enter into the Path of Self-realization. These nine tests are given to all disciples who begin to perform the Gnostic work in themselves. Only those who complete these tests can receive the right to enter into the Major Mysteries. For more information, read The Perfect Matrimony.

"Remember that each one of the nine Initiations of Lesser Mysteries has a musical note and an instrument which produces it." - The Revolution of Beelzebub

"To want to rapidly become fused with the Innermost without having passed through the nine initiations of Lesser Mysteries is akin to wanting to receive a doctor’s degree in medicine without having studied all the required years at university, or like wanting to be a general without having passed through all the military ranks." - The Zodiacal Course

"Throughout the Initiations of Lesser Mysteries, the disciple has to pass through the entire tragedy of Golgotha..." - The Zodiacal Course

One of the three types of mind.

"The Inner Mind is fundamental for the direct experience of the truth. Undoubtedly, the Inner Mind creates its basic concepts with information contributed by the Superlative Consciousness of the Being. Unquestionably, the Consciousness can live and experience reality. Without a doubt, the Consciousness knows the truth. To manifest itself however, the Consciousness needs a mediator, an instrument of action, and this in itself is the Inner Mind. Consciousness knows directly the reality of each natural phenomenon and can manifest it through the Inner Mind... One who has opened the Inner Mind recalls one’s previous existences, knows the mysteries of life and death; not because of what one has or has not read, not because of what someone has or has not said, not because of what one has or has not believed, but because of terribly real and vivid direct experience." - The Great Rebellion

“Our real Being is of a universal nature. Our real Being is neither a kind of superior nor inferior “I.” Our real Being is impersonal, universal, divine. He transcends every concept of “I,” me, myself, ego, etc., etc.” - The Perfect Matrimony

Also known as Atman, the Spirit, Chesed, our own individual interior divine Father.

"The Innermost is the ardent flame of Horeb. In accordance with Moses, the Innermost is the Ruach Elohim (the Spirit of God) who sowed the waters in the beginning of the world. He is the Sun King, our Divine Monad, the Alter-Ego of Cicerone." - The Revolution of Beelzebub

The four letters appearing over the head of the crucified Christ. The exoteric or common explanation of these letters is derived from: “Iesvs Nazarenvs Rex Ivdaeorvm” which is “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.” But there are esoteric meanings: 

1. Ignis Natura Renovatur Integram – Fire Unceasingly Renews Nature.
2. In Necis Renascor Integer – In Death I Am Reborn Intact and Pure.

When the Intelligent Principle, the Monad, sends its spark of consciousness into Nature, that spark, the anima, enters into manifestation as a simple mineral. Gradually, over millions of years, the anima gathers experience and evolves up the chain of life until it perfects itself in the level of the mineral kingdom. It then graduates into the plant kingdom, and subsequently into the animal kingdom. With each ascension the spark receives new capacities and higher grades of complexity. In the animal kingdom it learns procreation by ejaculation. When that animal intelligence enters into the human kingdom, it receives a new capacity: reasoning, the intellect; it is now an anima with intellect: an Intellectual Animal. That spark must then perfect itself in the human kingdom in order to become a complete and perfect Human Being, an entity that has conquered and transcended everything that belongs to the lower kingdoms. Unfortunately, very few Intellectual Animals perfect themselves; most remain enslaved by their animal nature, and thus are reabsorbed by Nature, a process belonging to the Devolving side of life and called by all the great religions "Hell" or the Second Death.

"The present manlike being is not yet human; he is merely an intellectual animal.  It is a very grave error to call the legion of the “I” the “soul.”  In fact, what the manlike being has is the psychic material, the material for the soul within his Essence, but indeed, he does not have a Soul yet." - The Revolution of the Dialectic 

A complete and comprehensive intellectual understanding of the many aspects of the Path of Initiation.

"To possess an intellectual culture is necessary for the development of clairvoyance. To have an intellectual discipline is necessary for the development of the latent powers, chakras, discs, magnetic wheels of the Astral Body." - Endocrinology & Criminology

"In order to develop positive clairvoyance, it is required to practice the necessary esoteric exercises and to study the best authors of Theosophy, Rosicrucianism, Yoga, Psychology, etc., etc. Our worst enemy is ignorance; therefore, we recommend our readers study the great works of the female Master Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, entitled The Secret Doctrine. We also recommend Kundalini Yoga of Sivananda, the books of Dr. Arnold Krumm-Heller, the books of Dr. Adoum, the books of Rudolf Steiner, etc., etc." - Endocrinology & Criminology

"Every esoterist student must have discipline and intellectual culture. The occultist without discipline and intellectual culture converts himself into a delinquent." - Endocrinology & Criminology

The many dimensions beyond the physical world. These dimensions are both subjective and objective. To know the objective internal worlds (the Astral Plane, or Nirvana, or the Klipoth) one must first know one's own personal, subjective internal worlds, because the two are intimately associated.

"Whosoever truly wants to know the internal worlds of the planet Earth or of the Solar System or of the Galaxy in which we live, must previously know his intimate world, his individual, internal life, his own internal worlds. Man, know thyself, and thou wilt know the Universe and its Gods. The more we explore this internal world called “myself,” the more we will comprehend that we simultaneously live in two worlds, in two realities, in two confines: the external and the internal. In the same way that it is indispensable for one to learn how to walk in the external world so as not to fall down into a precipice, or not get lost in the streets of the city, or to select one’s friends, or not associate with the perverse ones, or not eat poison, etc.; likewise, through the psychological work upon oneself we learn how to walk in the internal world, which is explorable only through Self-observation." - Revolutionary Psychology

Through the work in Self-observation, we develop the capacity to awaken where previously we were asleep: including in the objective internal worlds.

The voice of our Innermost Self. There are many degrees in the development of Intuition. This power relates specifically to the heart (Anahata chakra) and the pineal gland (Sahasrara chakra).

“Intuition is direct perception of the truth, without the depressing process of reasoning and opinions.” - The Manual of Practical Magic

“The heart is the sacred temple of our Inner Master.  The Inner Master speaks to us through intuition (feelings, perceptions, hunches).  If humans obeyed these intuitions, they would live without problems.” - The Zodiacal Course

“The highest part of man is the World of Intuition and objective spiritual Consciousness.  In the World of Intuition, the archetypes of all things in Nature develop. Only those who have penetrated into the World of Objective Intuition, only those who have reached the solemn heights of Noetic thought, are truly awakened and illuminated.” - The Perfect Matrimony

In Greek mythology, daughter of Inachus, a river God. She was a virgin (chaste) priestess of Hera, who earned Hera’s wrath by attracting the attention of Zeus. According to Aeschylus (in his Prometheus Bound), Io was exiled and turned into a cow (by either Zeus or Hera) and was stung continually by gadflies (sent by Hera) in order to stop from her from resting anywhere long enough for Zeus to unite with her. Argus, a giant with a hundred unsleeping eyes, was charged by Hera to guard over her for the same purpose. The giant was killed by Hermes (Mercury). She was pursued by the flies and wandered all over until finally arriving in Egypt where Zeus changed her back into a woman and, with a touch of his hand, impregnated her. This is but one of several versions of her story; Ovid in his Metamorphasis tells another. Io came to be worshipped as the goddess Isis and had a son named Epaphus who was worshipped as the bull-deity Apis.

(or Yod) The tenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It symbolizes the Lingam (masculine sexual organ), the sexual, generative power of Kether hidden within Nachash-Ima-Elohim, Havah in Yesod. Its Kabbalistic numerical value is 10.

The Tetragrammaton (Four-lettered Name), which is in Hebrew: Iod, Hei, Vau, Hei. The  Sacred Name of Divinity is firstly given in the Tree of Life, Kabbalah, to the Second Logos, Sephirah-Chokmah, which in Christianity is Christ the Son of the Father. Chokmah is Vishnu among the Brahmans, Avalokiteshvara among the Buddhists, Quetzalcoatl among the Aztecs, Kukulcan among the Mayans, Ahura Mazda among the Persians. It is not an individual, but a universal, cosmic and impersonal principle, which must be assimilated by each human being through sexual magic.

(Hebrew) The man; as well as the fire of “Iod” the phallus; and the fire of pingala or Od the solar serpent of the Caduceus of Mercury; Ishim masculine sexual fires.

the woman; as well as the fire of “He” the uterus; and the fire of Ida or Ob the lunar serpent of the Caduceus of Mercury; Ishoth feminine sexual fires.

(Sanskrit) One of the eight major powers (siddhis).

“The power that permits the Saint to resurrect the dead.  Whosoever reaches this height is a liberated one, a Lord of the living and of the dead.” - The Aquarian Message

“It is the attainment of divine power. The Yogi becomes the Lord of the universe. The Yogi who has this power can restore life to the dead. Kabir, Tulsidas, Akalkot Swami and others had this power of bringing back life to the dead.” - Swami Sivananda, Kundalini Yoga

(Egyptian) 1. The Divine Mother.

2. A priestess of a temple.

This word must be analyzed. Israel (I-SaRah-El)

1. IS reminds us of Isis and the Isiac Mysteries. Certainly, Isis is the Divine Princess (Sarah) Kundalini. She is the light or fire (Ish in Hebrew) of the middle “Iod” of the letter “Shin,” which rises up through the spinal medulla (Sushumna) thanks to the other “Iods” (Ob and Od, Yin and Yan, Ida and Pingala, Eve and Adam, Sa and Ra) of the letter “Shin,” which from Yesod (Iod- sex) entwine along the spinal medulla to the brain.

2. RA reminds us of the Solar Logos, the letter “Reish,” the Head of the Universe, Kether. Let us remember the disk of RA found in Ancient Egypt of the Pharaohs.

3. EL (Aleph, Lamed) is Hebrew for “God,” the inner, profound God within each one of us.

In sequence and correct etymological corollary, the people of Israel are constituted by the various parts of the Being. All of the multiple Self-cognizant and independent parts of our own individual Being constitute the people of Israel.
