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. | |

| Urania | (Greek: Ourania) One of the nine Muses of Greek Mythology. Urania is related to astronomy or to the celestial realms, the heavens. |
| Uranus | Chaldean for Ur = “fire,” Anas = “water.” The planet of sexuality. "Uranus was a Divine King from primeval Atlantis. Uranus reminds us of UR-ANAS, the Primordial Fire and Water. This is equivalent to the establishment of the First Luni-Solar Cult of the Androgynous "IO," in other words, the apparition of the Astrological Chaldean; therefore, Uranus, the Asura-Maya, the First Atlantean, is factually the first revealer of Sexual Mysteries." - from the lecture The Mysteries of Life and Death |
| Urdhva Padmasana | ("Above Lotus Pose") From Swami Sivananda: "Perform Sirshasana. Slowly bend the right leg and keep it on the left thigh and keep the left leg on the right thigh. You must do this very carefully and slowly. If you can stand in Sirshasana for more than 10 or 15 minutes, then you can attempt this. Otherwise you will have a fall and injure your legs. A gymnast, who can balance on the parallel bars on the ground, can do this. The benefits of Sirshasana can be realised from this Asana." |
| Urdhvareta | (Sanskrit; urdhva means "upwards") 1. "In India, sexual magic (Arcanum A.Z.F.) is known by the Sanskrit term “Urdhvareta.” People who practice the Arcanum A.Z.F. in India are called Urdhvareta yogis. The Great Arcanum is found in a Hindustani book entitled Secrets of Yoga. The author is a yogi from Southern India." - The Yellow Book
2. A perfect initiate whose sexual fluid is completely sublimated. |
| Urdhvareta Yoga | (Sanskrit; alternately oordhvareta) "A Yogi always directs his attention to the accumulation of this divine energy by unbroken chastity. In Yoga, it is called Urdhvaretas. An Urdhvareta Yogi is one in whom the seminal energy has flown upwards into the brain as Ojas Sakti. There is now no possibility of the semen going downwards by sexual excitement." - Swami Sivananda, Practice of Brahmacharya "The great Yogi-Avatar Sri Lahiri Lahasaya was called to the Initiation by the immortal Babaji when he already had a spouse. Thus, this is how the Yogi-Avatar was Self-realized. In Hindustan, Sexual Magic is known by the Sanskrit term Urdhvareta and the yogis who practice it are named Urdhvareta Yogis. Authentic yogis practice Sexual Magic with their spouse. There are two types of brahmacharya (sexual abstinence), solar and lunar. The solar type is for those that have performed the Second Birth. The lunar type of brahmacharya is that absurd sexual abstinence that serves only to produce filthy, nocturnal sexual pollutions with all of its fatal consequences... The yogis who practice Urdhvareta Yoga (positive Sexual Magic) do not ejaculate their Ens Seminis." - The Esoteric Course of Kabbalah |
