Glossary

glossaryProviding the definition and meaning of words and concepts used in the expression of the Gnostic Dharma.

This glossary or dictionary is but a small introduction to the vast scope of the Gnostic Teachings. The knowledge given in the writings of Samael Aun Weor ranges across the whole of human experience and therefore draws on the world's great treasure of language and mystical expression; what cannot be expressed accurately in one language or religious context may find its perfect meaning in another tongue or theology. 

Glorian Publishing invites additions, suggestions and corrections for all the terms in this Glossary.

The Gnostic Glossary is being prepared for a print edition.

Term Definition
M, Moria, or Morya

One of the instructors of Samael Aun Weor, and the author of Dayspring of Youth and The Lord God of Truth Within.

"Master Morya, Master of the Ray of Mars, dwells in the Himalayas, at the edge of a road. He dwells in a humble house; he has innumerable disciples, and his present body has an age of more than nine hundred years. Against Master Morya, death has not and shall not succeed either, because Master Morya is a child of the Resurrection of the dead, and death cannot succeed over any son of Resurrection." - The Seven Words

“Masters from all races exist within our venerable White Lodge.  We must not forget that Master Moria and Master Kout Humi belong to the yellow race.” - Igneous Rose

 
Macrocosmos(Greek) Macro means “great, large.” Cosmos means “order, harmony, the world (from its perfect order and arrangement).” In Universal Gnosticism, the term macrocosmos can refer to the universe in general, or specifically to a galaxy, which is one of seven levels of the whole creation.
 
Magic

"Magic, according to Novalis, is the art of influencing the inner world consciously." - from The Mystery of the Golden Blossom

"When magic is explained as it really is, it seems to make no sense to fanatical people. They prefer to follow their world of illusions." - The Revolution of Beelzebub

White Magic: see Theurgy. Black Magic: see Goetia.

 

 
Magical Triangle

(or the Triangle of Priesthood) The third trinity of the Tree of Life: Netzach, Hod, and Yesod.

“The third triangle becomes very interesting because this is the Magical Triangle formed by the mind or Netzach, the Astral Body or Hod, and the Ethereal Body or Yesod, which is also the basic sexual principle of Universal Life. Why this is called the Magical Triangle? Undoubtedly, it is because High Magic is exercised in the kingdom of the mind and the kingdom of the Astral and even in the Klipoth or the Infernal Worlds.” - The Initiatic Path in the Arcana of Tarot and Kabbalah

 
Magnes(Latin) Canon, principle or prima materia.
 
Magnetic Center"Each of us is characterized by a Magnetic Center. The Magnetic Center of a merchant is in trade, and for this reason they are involved in the marketplace and attract those with whom they have an affinity: buyers and traders. Scientists have in their personality the Magnetic Center of science, consequently attracting all scientific things: books, laboratories, etc. The esotericist has the Magnetic Center of esoterism within. This type of center evolves differently in relation to the personality. Undoubtedly, for this reason transference occurs. When the Magnetic Center is established in the Consciousness, that is, in the Essence, then the complete human begins his return to the stars." - The Great Rebellion
 
Magnus(Latin) “Great.”  See “Misterium Magnum.”
 
Maha-ChoanSanskrit for “Chief Lord.” “The head of a spiritual Hierarchy.” - from the Theosophical Glossary. Can be a reference to the Holy Spirit.

"The seventh initiation confers upon us the degree of “Maha-choan.”  The Maha-choan becomes a guardian of the Akasic archives and director of the works of the Great White Lodge." - The Zodiacal Course
 
Maha-Vidya(Sanskrit) The science of the Kabbalah with all its invocations, mathematical symbols and liturgy, which can be angelic or diabolic; it all depends on the type of person that uses it.

 
Mahakalpa(Sanskrit) “The Great (maha) Age (kalpa).”

"Truthfully, the quantities of years assigned to a Cosmic Day are symbolic. The Cosmic Night arrives when the ingathering of the perfect souls is complete, which means, when the Cosmic Day is absolutely perfected." - from The Pistis Sophia Unveiled
 
Mahamanvantara(Sanskrit) “The Great Day.” A period of universal activity, as opposed to a Mahapralaya, a cosmic night or period of rest.

"I was absorbed within the Absolute at the end of that Lunar Mahamanvantara, which endured 311,040,000,000,000 years, or, in other words, an age of Brahma." - The Revolution of Beelzebub

"Truthfully, the quantities of years assigned to a Cosmic Day are symbolic. The Cosmic Night arrives when the ingathering of the perfect souls is complete, which means, when the Cosmic Day is absolutely perfected." - from The Pistis Sophia Unveiled
 
Mahamanvantara of PadmaThe previous cosmic day.
 
Mahamudra

(Sanskrit, literally “great seal” or "great symbol"; Tibetan Chagya Chenpo) The method of direct introduction to the nature of the consciousness (or Buddha-nature) and the practice of stabilizing the accompanying transcendental realization. This teaching originated in India and was propagated in Tibet. Teachers of this method include Maitreya, Asanga, Atisha, Nagarjuna, Marpa, Milarepa, Gampopa, and many more. While primarily related to the Kagyu school, it is also studied and practiced in the Gelug and Sakya schools. Very similar teachings are found in the Nyingma school, but are called Dzogchen, which means “Great Perfection, Great Completeness, Total Completeness, Supercompleteness..." The instructions that point to the Dzogchen state are sometimes described as a set of "inner" or "heart" (Tib. snying thig) teachings. Students of Dzogchen and Mahamudra often attend each others schools, because the two are so similar.

"The disciple must receive instructions from his own Innermost, and the duty of the Innermost is to instruct his Bodhisattva, that is to say, his Soul who is anxious for Light.  The doctrine of “Shin-Sien” teaches that the human mind is like a mirror, which attracts and reflects each dust atom, and has to be dusted each day, until becoming a “Christ-mind.” Shin-Sien was the sixth patriarch of northern China, who taught the esoteric doctrine of “Bodhidharma.” In Sanskrit, the internal chamber of the heart is called “Brahma-pura” (the city of the supreme God).  The disciple should become a master of Samadhi.  Buddha dharma is the religion of wisdom in China. The doctrine of the heart is called the seal of the truth, or the “true seal.” - The Zodiacal Course

 
Mahayana(Sanskrit; Tibetan: tekpa chenpo) Literally, "Great Vehicle." Traditionally, the Mahayana is viewed as the teachings of the second turning of the Wheel of Dharma by the Buddha Shakyamuni, which emphasized sunyata (emptiness), compassion, and universal buddha-nature (the essence). Gnosis as taught by Samael Aun Weor is in perfect congruence with Mahayana Buddhism, but Gnosis goes further and deeper, since it also contains the complete revelation of the Path of the Bodhisattva.
 
Mahima

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

“The power to enlarge the physical body to the point of touching the sun and the moon with the hand.” - The Aquarian Message

“This is the opposite of Anima. He (the initiate) can become as big as he likes. He can make his body assume a very large size. He can fill up the whole universe. He can assume a Virat Svarupa.” - Swami Sivananda, Kundalini Yoga

 
MaithunaSee Sahaja Maithuna.
 
Maitreya

Literally, the term maitreya means "love." This term has several levels of application.

1. "A Permanent Buddha or Buddha of Contemplation is a Buddha who has already Christified himself, a Buddha that has already received the Inner Christ (Chenresig / Avalokitesvara) within his own internal nature. This type of Buddha is a Buddha Maitreya, since it is a Buddha who incarnated the Inner Christ (this is how the term “Maitreya” should be understood). So, Buddha Maitreya is not a person: Buddha Maitreya is a title, a degree, which indicates any given Buddha who already achieved Christification." - The Major Mysteries

2. In Mahayana Buddhism, Maitreya is the “Buddha of the Future” and is the only Buddhist figure represented seated in a chair, Western style. A Russian traveller, Nicholas Roerich, recorded the following prediction made by a Tibetan lama:

“First will begin an unprecedented war of all nations. Afterward, brother shall rise against brother. Oceans of blood shall flow. They shall forget the meaning of the word Teacher (buddha, guru). But then shall the Teachers appear and in all corners of the world shall be heard the true teaching. To this word of truth shall the people be drawn, but those who are filled with darkness and ignorance shall set obstacles. As a diamond, glows the light on the tower of the Lord of Shambhala. One stone in his ring is worth more than all the world’s treasures. Even those who by accident help the Teachings of Shambhala will receive in return a hundredfold. Already many warriors of the teaching or truth are reincarnated. Only a few years shall elapse before everyone shall hear the mighty steps of the Lord of the New Era. And one can already perceive unusual manifestations and encounter unusual people. Already they open the gates of knowledge and ripened fruits are falling from the trees. The banner of Shambhala shall encircle the central lands of the Blessed One. Those who accept him shall rejoice. And those who deny him shall tremble. The denier shall be given over to justice and shall be forgotten. And the warriors shall march under the banner of Maitreya.”

The Venerable Buddha Samael explained that Maitreya is a very ancient Christified Master who has been teaching the Tibetan Buddhists for centuries. He is a true Bodhisattva of the Direct Path, a Being who is one with the Cosmic Christ Avalokiteshvara, Kuan Yin, Kuan Shi Yin, Xisutrus, Vishnu, Chokmah. Not all of the Buddhas follow the Direct Path; most of them are Buddhas Pratyekas (Nirvanis of the Spiral Path). As in Esoteric Christianity we call Christ anyone who becomes one with the Cosmic Christ, likewise, in Esoteric Buddhism we call Maitreya any Buddha who renounces Nirvana for the sake of deluded mortals. The so-called “Buddha of the Future Age” is of course Samael because He is a Maitreya Buddha, a Buddha from the Direct Path, a very ancient Buddha from ancient Mahamanvantaras who became the life-core of the Planet Mars, the Warrior Buddha, the God of War in heaven and earth; the one who (many times in this Aryan Race, since he is the one who “cosmically” is directly responsible for this present Aryan Race, the fifth race, the Race of Aryes) has been frequently incarnated in Tiphereth within those Buddhas who renounced Nirvana and took the Direct Path. Any Buddha who renounces Nirvana for the sake of deluded mortals becomes, as a matter of fact and by his own right, a Buddha Maitreya, because they incarnate Him. As Samael Aun Weor wrote in The Aquarian Message, "The one who writes this book gives testimony of this prophecy, because I am the servant or Bodhisattva of the fifth of the seven. The Son speaks the word of the Father and he gives testimony of the Father. The Father is one with the Son, the Son is one with the Father. The Son feels that he is unworthy to undo the buckles of the Father’s shoes. Only the Father is perfect. The Father is glorified in the Son and the Son is glorified in the Father. The Maitreya Buddha Samael is the Kalki Avatar of the New Age; he is the one who sat upon the white horse. Nevertheless, his son, the poor servant who writes this Aquarian Message, really does not feel worthy of kissing the sacred feet of the Father. Therefore, the Buddha Maitreya gloriously shines, but his son kneels before him."

 
Malachim

(Hebrew) Literally, “kings.” The singular form is “melech.”

1. One of the classes of angels or sanctified souls. Related to the sephirah Tiphereth. Corresponds to the Christian hierarchal level “Virtue” and “Principality.”

2. In the world of Yetzirah, Tiphereth receives the name of Malachim.

 
Malkuth

(Hebrew for Kingdom) The "fallen sephirah." Malkuth is the Physical World or the Physical Body.

"The physical world is the valley of bitterness, the kingdom of Malkuth, the kingdom of Samsara. The Wheel of Samsara incessantly turns and the ego comes and goes; it disincarnates and returns always suffering, always searching without finding. The Tenth Arcanum, the Wheel of Retribution, is terrible, and the whole world is a slave of this fatal Wheel of the Centuries. Whosoever wants to be liberated from the fatal Wheel of Samsara must dissolve the “I” and incarnate the Soul. This labor is very difficult and those who achieve it are very rare. Really, the kingdom of Malkuth is a terrible filter. The refuse of this filter is what is common and current, which is swallowed by the Abyss. The gold, the select, the true Human Being, the Angel, is the conception, and the struggle is indeed difficult. Nature is implacable and the birth of an Angel-Human Being costs thousands, or better said, millions of victims. 'Many are called and few are chosen.'” - from Tarot and Kabbalah

 
Mama

"When I traveled through the countries of South America, I knew an Indian that lived near the Summum Supremum Sanctuarium (in Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta, Colombia). He was a "Mama," a kind of Mahatma. He was a small man of about one meter; he did not have more than one meter [in height] and some centimeters. His hair was long, his chin black and long, wearing a tunic, he looked like a small thin Christ." - Samael Aun Weor

Mamas are the name given to the Initiate-Priests that live amongst three tribes: Arhuaco, Kogi and Assario. These three tribes live amongst the native groups on The Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta, Colombia (the highest coastal mountain in the world). The Arhuaco, Kogi and Assario are descendants of the Tairona civilization that flourished before the time of the Spanish Invasion. The Tairona civilization that flourished in South America was directly descended from the Atlantean Civilization.

These Mamas are pure blooded natives, however, when they interact with the South American Spanic Society, they adopt Spanish names and surnames.

"So, we knew two powerful enlightened beings, which were absolutely illiterate. One was this uncivilized Indian (a Mama) of La Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta (Colombia)...

"He started talking about themes that I had written in The Revolution of Beelzebub. I said to him, "How is this, Brother Bernardino Alfaro Torres?" (He was baptized with that Latin name by a Missionary) "How is this," I said, "that you know about my book The Revolution of Beelzebub, if you do not know how to write, neither to read... if you are illiterate?"

"Sir, we the members of the tribe of Mamas, do not need to read a book. We examine it in the Astral World. The book The Revolution of Beelzebub is a book of the Goddess Nature and we have it on the altars of our Temples-Sanctuaries..."

"He was an astonishing man: he knew the entire book; he spoke about Nirvana, of a Golden City in the Nirvanic world... "

 
ManasSanskrit for mind.  The root of the term "man."
 
Mandingoes

The so called Malinkés or Mandingoes are generally Muslim, having abandoned earlier Pantheist beliefs; they constituted a significant social group in Africa before their arrival to America as slaves. They were the founders of the old Mali Empire, located at the moment in French Sudan; they formed the most powerful state of Western Africa between 1240 and the XVI century during the reign of Musa Bellwether (1312-1327).

Malinkés or Mandingoes were partially converted to Islam by the Fula or Fulani (an ethnic group of black Arabicized people spread over many countries in Western Africa) and, due to this, a rich empire was formed under the interchange of cultural and religious beliefs between African Arabs.

Historical aspects, as the one above, influenced powerfully in the religious and cultural product of the Afro-Arabic mixture that equipped the Malinkés or Mandingoes with numerous acquaintances that were subject under the ancestral common property of two worlds. This particular characterization of the inhabitants of the tribe Malinké was the one that came to America as Mandingo African slaves.

Once already in the New World, this racial group (unlike the other originating tribes of the diverse territories of Africa) was much feared because they had the infamy of being great wizards, as well as being rebellious against the owners of the plantations. Thus, this reaffirmed that they were transgressors of the law of the white people. This is why the Mandingoes were also known in the New World as “Mandingas,” and the name of this tribe became associated with very strong witchcraft spells of black magic, this is why later on the word “Mandingo or Mandinga” happened to be associated with witchcraft and became synonymous with “witches” and “devils.”

 
Mannasee “Ambrosia.”
 
ManteiaA term from the Eleusian Mysteries referring to a state of consciousness in which the essence becomes free of the ego.
 
Mantra(Sanskrit, literally "mind protection") A sacred word or sound. The use of sacred words and sounds is universal throughout all religions and mystical traditions, because the root of all creation is in the Great Breath or the Word, the Logos. "In the beginning was the Word..."
 
Manu

(Sanskrit) From Hindu mythology, the progenitor and lawgiver of the human race. From H.P. Blavatsky: “Who was Manu, the son of Swayambhuva? The secret doctrine tells us that this Manu was no man, but the representation of the first human races evolved with the help of the Dhyan-Chohans (Devas, Elohim) at the beginning of the first round. But we are told in his Laws (Book I. 80) that there are fourteen Manus for every Kalpa -- or interval from creation to creation -- and that in the present divine age, there have been as yet seven Manus... We are told in the Sacred Hindu scriptures that the first Manu produced six other Manus (seven primary Manus in all), and these produced in their turn each seven other Manus (Bhrigu I, 61-63) -- the production of the latter standing in the occult treatises as 7 x 7. Just as each planetary Round commences with the appearance of a ‘Root Manu’ (Dhyan Chohan) and closes with a ‘Seed-Manu,’ so a Root and a Seed Manu appear respectively at the beginning and the termination of the human period on any particular planet.”

 
Mara

(Sanskrit) 1. The "demon" who tempted the Buddha during the final stages of his awakening.

2. Four types of evil influences:

  • a. our own ego or aggregates - self-produced psychological elements
  • b. negative emotions (vibrations of the ego) - desire, anger, jealousy, envy, etc.
  • c. "deva's son" sensual desires and tempations
  • d. the bringer of death - ordinary death which comes mechanically and inopportunely 
 
Marapleicie"During those epochs unknown to Cesar Cantu and his “Universal History,” another beautiful country existed in Asia, known as Marapleicie.  This country traded with Tikliamis and a very strong commercial competition existed between them.  Later on, the country of Marapleicie changed its name to Gobland due to the great city of Gob.  Gobland and its powerful city were swallowed up by the sands of the desert.  So, within the sands of the Gobi desert many wealthy Atlantean treasures are hidden as well as powerful machines that are unknown by the populaces of this Aryan Root Race." - The Kabbalah of the Mayan Mysteries
 
MarsAs a planetary influence, Mars is related to: "Wars, military matters, police matters, quarrels, leaders, works related to money, big businesses, matters related with judges, and with tribunals, etc." - Manual of Practical Magic.  Governed by Samael.
 
Mary Magdalene

Mag-dale-ne:

1. Mag, Magi (various languages) "priest" or "priestess" 

2. Dalene - Dalan "valley," preserved from extinction in north of England by Norse infl. Akin to words for "bow" (v.), probably through the notion of a bend in the ground."

Mag-dalene means therefore: a Priestess Adept from other lands or valleys: a white priestess wife.

Mary Magdalene was the priestess-spouse of Jesus of Nazareth, and is a great Gnostic Initiate.

"Mary Magdalene, as well as Salambo, Matres, Ishtar, Astarte, Aphrodite and Venus all represent the priestess-wife with whom we must practice sexual magic in order to awaken the Fire (of the Holy Spirit; the Kundalini)." - The Perfect Matrimony

 
MasterLike many terms related to spirituality, this one is grossly misunderstood. Samael Aun Weor writes while describing the Germanic Edda, "In this Genesis of creation we discover Sexual Alchemy. The Fire fecundated the cold waters of chaos. The masculine principle Alfadur fecundated the feminine principle Niffleheim, dominated by Surtur (the Darkness), to bring forth life. That is how Ymir is born, the father of the giants, the Internal God of every human being, the Master." Therefore, the Master is the Innermost, Atman, the Father.

"The value of the human person which is the intellectual animal called human being is less than the ash of a cigarette. However, the fools feel themselves to be giants. Unfortunately, within all the pseudo-esoteric currents a great amount of mythomaniac people exist, individuals who feel themselves to be Masters, people who enjoy when others call them Masters, individuals who believe themselves to be Gods, individuals who presume to be Saints. The only one who is truly great is the Spirit, the Innermost. We, the intellectual animals, are leaves that the wind tosses about... No student of occultism is a Master. True Masters are only those who have reached the Fifth Initiation of Major Mysteries. Before the Fifth Initiation nobody is a Master." - Excerpts from The Perfect Matrimony

"You are not the Master, you are only the sinning shadow of He who has never sinned. Remember that only your internal Lamb is the Master. Remember that even though your internal God is a Hierarch of fire, you, poor slug, are only a human being and as a human being you will always be judged. Your internal Lamb could be a planetary God, but you, poor slug of the mud, do not forget, always remember that you are only the shadow of your God. Poor sinning shadow..! Do not say “I am this God” or “I am that Master,” because you are only a shadow that must resolve to die and be slaughtered in order not to serve as an obstacle for your internal God. It is necessary for you to reach supreme humbleness." - from The Aquarian Message
 
Master atom“The mental body has an atomic nucleus which serves as its base. This nucleus is the Master Atom of the mind. This Master Atom contains the whole wisdom of Nature. Whosoever learns how to be in communication with this atom through meditation will be taught and instructed in the cosmic wisdom, since this atom is a sage. This Master Atom resides in our seminal system. By practicing Sexual Magic, this atom rises towards our head and then illuminates us in the world of the mind.” - from The Revolution of Beelzebub
 
MaterialistIn the esoteric sciences, a “materialist” is one who only believes in what his five senses can tell him, thus he relies exclusively on the data of the sensory, third dimensional world. This type of person has no understanding of the superior senses or the superior dimensions, and thus is limited to what he can perceive physically. As C.W. Leadbeter said, “It is one of the commonest of mistakes to consider that the limit of our power of perception is also the limit of all there is to see.”
 
Matrimonyfrom L. matrimonium "wedlock, marriage," from matrem (nom. mater) "mother" + -monium, suffix signifying "action, state, condition." Thus, matrimony means "a state or condition from which the Divine Mother can act."
 
Matripadma(Sanskrit) The mother-lotus; the womb of nature.
 
Maya(Sanskrit, literally "appearance, illusion, deception") Can indicate 1) the illusory nature of existence, 2) the womb of the Divine Mother, or 3) the Divine Mother Herself.
 
Meditation

"When the esoterist submerges himself into meditation, what he seeks is information." - Samael Aun Weor

"It is urgent to know how to meditate in order to comprehend any psychic aggregate, or in other words, any psychological defect. It is indispensable to know how to work with all our heart and with all our soul, if we want the elimination to occur." - The Pistis Sophia Unveiled

1. The Gnostic must first attain the ability to stop the course of his thoughts, the capacity to not think.  Indeed, only the one who achieves that capacity will hear the Voice of the Silence.
2. When the Gnostic disciple attains the capacity to not think, then he must learn to concentrate his thoughts on only one thing. 
3. The third step is correct meditation.  This brings the first flashes of the new consciousness into the mind. 
4. The fourth step is contemplation, ecstasy or Samadhi.  This is the state of Turiya (perfect clairvoyance). - The Perfect Matrimony

 

 
Melchisedec

(Alternatively, Malkhi-tzedek, Malki Tzedek, or Melchisedek, which means "King of Justice or Virtue) See Gen. 14:18-20, Ps. 110:4, and Epistle to the Hebrews, ch. 7.

"Melchisedec is the planetary Genie of the Earth, of whom Jesus, the great Kabir, gave testimony. Melchisedec is the Great Receiver of the Cosmic Light. Melchisedec has a physical body. He is a Man, or better if we say, he is a Super-Man. The Kingdom of Agharti is found in the subterranean caverns of the Earth. The Earth is hollow and the network of caverns constitute Agharti. The Genie of the Earth lives in Agharti with a group of survivors from Lemuria and Atlantis. The Goros, powerful Lords of life and death, work with Melchisedec. The whole ancient wisdom of the centuries has been recorded on Stone, within the Kingdom of Agharti." - The Pistis Sophia Unveiled

 
Mem

memThe thirteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, it symbolizes the element water (MayiM). Mem is the fountain of Divine Wisdom (Chokmah). Just as the waters of the well of Jacob (spring) ascend from its unknowable subterranean sources to unveil the mysteries of the tree of life on earth (Malkuth), likewise the fountain of Schamayim, the Superior Waters in Daath, unveil the wisdom (Chokmah) that express the power “Iod” or the flow of light from the Ain Soph. Its Kabbalistic value is 40.

 
Mental BodyOne of the seven bodies of the human being. Related to Netzach, the seventh sephirah of the Tree of Life; corresponds to the fifth dimension.

"The mental body is a material organism, yet it is not the physical organism. The mental body has its ultra-biology and its internal pathology, which is completely unknown to the present men of science." - The Revolution of Beelzebub.
 
Mental WorldRelated to Netzach, the seventh sephirah of the Tree of Life; corresponds to the fifth dimension.
 
Mercabah(Hebrew) Literally, “chariot.” Refers to the Soul the Initiate must build.
 
Mercury

Has many levels of meaning. "Mercury is BUDDHA, the Genie or God who is situated between the Sun and the Moon. He is the perpetual companion of the Sun of Wisdom. In Greek Mythology, Mercury displayed wings in order to express how he assisted the Sun on its sidereal course. Mercury was called Nuncio and Wolf of the Sun: Solaris Luminis Particeps. “He was the chief and the evoker of the souls, the Kabir and Hierophant.” Virgil describes Mercury holding the Caduceus or Hammer of two serpents in order to evoke to a new life those unhappy souls who were precipitated into the ORCO of classic Greeks, the Christian Limbo, TUM VIRGAM CAPIT, HAC ANIMAS ILLE EVOCAT ORCO, with the purpose of having them enter into the celestial militia." - The Doomed Aryan Race

1) the first planet of the esoteric order and the closest to the Sun-Christ. Psychologically, Mercury influences the mind and is ruled by Raphael. Related to intellectualism, journalism, law suits, sciences, trips, medicine, etc. "Journalism, intellectualism, businesses, quarrels, journeys and all types of matters related with the Mind." - Manual of Practical Magic. For an entire chapter on the planet Mercury, read The Doomed Aryan Race.

2) Mercury (Hermes) the God is the companion of the sun and the fastest of the gods. He displays radiant wings of fire to express that he was helping the Christ-Sun in its eternal course. Symbolized in Greek mythology by hare-hunting dogs or guardian dogs of celestial cattle, drinking from the very pure wells of occult wisdom. Also known as Hermes-Aunbis or as the Good Inspirator, Agathodaemon. Emperor Juliano prayed every night to the occult Sun (Christ) through the intercession of mercury…

3) Alchemically: "the metallic soul of the sperm (sperm or semen refers to sexual energy in men and women)." The sperm of all metals. The Spirit of Alchemy. "Unquestionably, the Mercury of the Wise must be fecundated by the Sulphur, in other words, by the Fire." - The Pistis Sophia Unveiled

"The ancient populace worshipped the corn, wheat and rice, because the sacred seed is represented by them. Mayas and Nahuas symbolized the Mercury of the Wise with corn. The Middle East and Europe saw the blessed seed in the wheat. China, Japan and India saw the sacred sperm in the rice." - The Pistis Sophia Unveiled

"The Wings of Mercury elevate us to the world of Gods."

Types of Mercury:

“Firstly, there is brute Mercury, which means the Exiohehari, or sacred sperm.

“Second, there is the metallic soul of the sperm, which is the result of the transmutation of the sexual libido (the sperm).  Therefore, this metallic soul is creative energy that ascends through the ganglionic spinal cords to the brain.

“The third Mercury is the most elevated. It is the Mercury that has been fertilized by Sulfur. In Alchemy, Sulfur is the sacred fire.” - From the lecture “Archeus”

 
MichaelMichael in the Sun is an ineffable Archangel.   Yet, Michael within us is different.  Michael is an independent and cognisant part of our own Being…
Michael and Gabriel, who symbolize, the Sun and the Moon, the Sulphur and the Mercury, serve the Alchemist in order to perform the Great Work…
Michael and Gabriel are two Self-cognisant and Self-independent parts of our own Being, skilled in the science of Alchemy.
As Michael and Gabriel exist in the Macrocosm, they also exist within the Microcosmic Human Being.
It is obvious that we always receive the Mysteries of the Light of the Height by means of the Sulphur and the Mercury.
Sulphur and Mercury are fundamental in order to receive the light-stream.
Michael and Gabriel carry the stream of Christic Light.
Michael and Gabriel, Sulphur and Mercury, are incessantly crossing themselves in order to give origin to the Philosophical Stone.
The Sulphur and Mercury (Michael and Gabriel) never steal the Light, because these two alchemical substances are the only fundamental elements of the Great Work.
 
Microcosmos(Greek) Micro means “small, little, trivial, slight.” Cosmos means “order, harmony, the world (from its perfect order and arrangement).” In Universal Gnosticism, the term microcosmos refers to the human being, who is a universe in minature.
 
MictlanThe Nahuatl or Aztec underworld.  According to Aztec legend, there were nine levels of the Mictlan.  Quetzalcoatl accompanied by Xolotl had to descend there to find the bones of humanity.  See: Klipoth and Xibalba.
 
Mind(Sanskrit, Manas) Superior Manas (Tiphereth) and Inferior Manas (Netzach).

"In the name of truth we must state that in synthesis we have three minds. The first one we can and must call the Sensual Mind. The second we shall christen with the name of Intermediate Mind. The third we shall call the Inner Mind." - The Great Rebellion
 
MindfulnessIn the context of self-observation and meditation, mindfulness is the continuous consciousness of what one is doing.  In Tibetan, this is called “trenpa” (dran-pa) or “memory.” In Sanskrit, it is called “smrti.” This is the seventh element of the Eightfold Path.
 
Misterium Magnum(Latin) “The Great Mystery”
 
Molecular World"The Temple of Anubis is found in the Molecular World, called the Astral World by many people." - The Treatise of Esoteric Astrology
 
Monad

(Latin) From monas, “unity; a unit, monad.” The Monad is the Being, the Innermost, our own inner Spirit.

"We must distinguish between Monads and Souls. A Monad, in other words, a Spirit, is; a Soul is acquired. Distinguish between the Monad of a world and the Soul of a world; between the Monad of a human and the Soul of a human; between the Monad of an ant and the Soul of an ant. The human organism, in final synthesis, is constituted by billions and trillions of infinitesimal Monads. There are several types and orders of primary elements of all existence, of every organism, in the manner of germs of all the phenomena of nature; we can call the latter Monads, employing the term of Leibnitz, in the absence of a more descriptive term to indicate the simplicity of the simplest existence. An atom, as a vehicle of action, corresponds to each of these genii or Monads. The Monads attract each other, combine, transform themselves, giving form to every organism, world, micro-organism, etc. Hierarchies exist among the Monads; the Inferior Monads must obey the Superior ones that is the Law. Inferior Monads belong to the Superior ones. All the trillions of Monads that animate the human organism have to obey the owner, the chief, the Principal Monad. The regulating Monad, the Primordial Monad permits the activity of all of its subordinates inside the human organism, until the time indicated by the Law of Karma." - The Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology

“(The number) one is the Monad, the Unity, Iod-Heve or Jehovah, the Father who is in secret. It is the Divine Triad that is not incarnated within a Master who has not killed the ego. He is Osiris, the same God, the Word.” - Tarot and Kabbalah

“When spoken of, the Monad is referred to as Osiris. He is the one that has to Self-realize Himself... Our own particular Monad needs us and we need it. Once, while speaking with my Monad, my Monad told me, ‘I am self-realizing Thee; what I am doing, I am doing for Thee.’ Otherwise, why are we living? The Monad wants to Self-realize and that is why we are here. This is our objective.” - Tarot and Kabbalah

"The Monads or Vital Genii are not exclusive to the physical organism; within the atoms of the Internal Bodies there are found imprisoned many orders and categories of living Monads. The existence of any physical or supersensible, Angelic or Diabolical, Solar or Lunar body, has billions and trillions of Monads as their foundation." - The Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology

Morals

"Conventional morals serve no purpose; morality is a slave to custom, time and place. What was moral in ages past is now immoral; what was moral in the Middle Ages, in these modem times, can be immoral; that which is considered moral in one country is immoral in another, etc... Unquestionably, the Christ, manifested though hidden in the heart of the real human, once he takes charge of our diverse psychological states, is actually labeled as cruel, immoral and perverse because people do not know him. It is paradoxical that although people worship the Christ, they classify him with such appalling labels. Obviously, people who are unconscious and asleep only want an anthropomorphic, historic Christ of statues and unbreakable dogmas in whom they can easily fit all their clumsy, stale moral codes and all their prejudices and conditions." - The Great Rebellion

 
Moses

"We annihilate the “I” based on alchemical operations only." - Endocrinology & Criminology

Quote of the Moment

“Those who go around coveting occult powers, those who utilize Sex-Yoga as a pretext in order to seduce women, are totally mistaken. Such people march in the opposite direction, opposite to the goals and disciplines that Universal Gnosticism establishes.”
-Samael Aun Weor, The Revolution of the Dialectic

Learn about the deep meanings hidden in this famous Biblical story.

"The book of Genesis is a Gnostic book written by Gnostics; the whole book hides the mystery of Daath, the Hebrew word for knowledge, which in Greek is Gnosis. So, Genesis is 100% Gnostic, whose myths hide a lot of knowledge."
