This is the seventeenth Arcanum of the Tarot. The hieroglyphic of this Arcanum is the radiant Star and ETERNAL YOUTH. In this arcanum there appears a naked woman who is spreading the sap of Universal life over the earth which is coming out of two vessels, one made of gold and the other made of silver.
If we carefully study the esoteric content of this Arcanum, we will discover PERFECT ALCHEMY. We need to work with the gold and with the silver, with the Sun and with the Moon in order to incarnate the Star, this STAR has eight points. Really the star of eight points is Venus.
The Gnostic Student should be very careful with the work in the Laboratorium Oratorium. Since the betrayal of the Sanctuary of Vulcan, the Doctrine of Ahriman was spread everywhere; this is the Doctrine of the Nicholaitans that transforms human beings into Demons.
The Adepts of the Left Hand Path color their Doctrine a very beautiful hue filled with ineffable and Sublime mysticism. Many are the Brethren of the Path who have entered this tenebrous path. The basic foundation of the Doctrine of the Nicholaitans consists of SPILLING THE CUP OF HERMES. These children of Darkness spill the Ens Seminis during their practices of Sexual Magic.
Billions of solar atoms are lost through orgasm with the loss of the Ens Seminis, which are replaced by billions of atoms from the Secret enemy. These Satanic atoms are picked up from the atomic infernos of the Human Being by the creative organs after orgasm. When such Satanic atoms attempt to rise through the sympathetic canals to the brain, they are downwardly precipitated by the three RAYS OF THE FATHER, OF THE SON AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
When these kinds of tenebrous atoms descend, they violently crash against a Master Atom of the Black Lodge that resides in the fundamental Chakra of the coccygeal bone. This Black Atomic God then receives a formidable impulse which gives him power to negatively awaken the Kundalini, or igneous serpent of our magical powers [as the Kundartiguator or Kundabuffer organ].
In this Case, the Kundalini descends downward to the atomic infernos of the Human Being and becomes the Tail of Satan. This is how the Human Being is definitively born in the Abyss as a Submerged Sub-Lunar Type of Demon. There are many students of the luminous Path that have gone astray through this Black path. It is good to remember that THE GREAT MASTERS OF THE SANCTUARY OF VULCAN fell under this subtle temptation and were converted into terrible, perverse Demons.
THE NARROW DOOR
There are many students of occultism who are convinced that many paths exist in order to reach God. There are some who affirm that three paths exist; there are others who state that seven paths exist, and still others who believe that twelve paths exist. We state that the three, the seven and the twelve are reduced to one, which is SEX.
We have carefully studied the four Gospels and have not found within any of the four Gospels such an affirmation that states that there are multiple ways to reach God. This affirmation is ABSOLUTELY FALSE. Really such an affirmation is a Sophism in order to cheat those who are naïve.
Jesus, the Chief of the Souls only spoke of one Door and of one straight and difficult narrow path. He never stated that there were multiple ways to reach God. Everyone that says this is a solemn liar. The Great Master Jesus textually stated the following:
24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
25 When the good man of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye began to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us, and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are,
26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are: depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the Prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out at doors.
Luke 13:24-28 – 1599 Geneva Bible
Really those who are saved are very few. Because few are those who enter through that strait, narrow and difficult door of Sex. There is no other door. No other door has ever existed and will never exist. The Mechanical Evolution of Nature DOES NOT SAVE ANYONE, time does not save anybody.
It is necessary to be born, and this subject of birth has been, is, and will always be an absolutely Sexual problem. Thus, anyone who wants to be born again has to work with the Sap of Life that is contained within the two sacred cups that the naked woman of Arcanum 17 has in her two hands.
THE THREE RAYS
It has been stated that there exist three Rays of intimate SELF-Realization. These three Rays illuminate only one door, and only one Path, sex. The three Rays are: MYSTICISM, YOGA, and the PERFECT MATRIMONY. However, without the Arcanum A.Z.F., it is not possible to advance a single step on the PATH OF THE RAZOR’S EDGE (Spinal Medulla).
YOGA
In the Western World, the teachings of Yoga have been delivered in a very bad manner. A lot of PSEUDO-SAPIENT Yogis have spread the false belief that the true Yogi must be infrasexual (an ENEMY OF SEX). Some of these false Yogis have never even visited India. They are infrasexual Pseudo-Yogis. These ignoramuses believe that with these Yogic exercises, such as ASANAS, PRANAYAMAS, etc., they are going to achieve in-depth realization.
The worst of these cases is that they not only have such false beliefs, but additionally they propagate them; thus, they cause many people to stray away from the STRAIGHT, NARROW AND DIFFICULT DOOR that leads to the Light. No authentically Initiated Yogi from India would ever think that with Pranayamas or Asanas, etc., Intimate Realization could be achieved!
Every legitimate Hindustani Yogi knows very well that such yogic exercises are only supplementary exercises, that are very useful for their Health and for the development of their powers, etc. Only the western Pseudo-yogis have within their minds that with these mentioned exercises they would be able to SELF-REALIZE. In the Ashrams of India Sexual Magic is practiced very secretly!
Every true initiated Yogi from India works with the Arcanum A.Z.F. taught by the Great Hindustani Yogis that have visited the Western World, and if this has not been taught by these Great initiated Hindustani Yogis, if this has not been published in the books of Yoga, it was precisely to avoid scandals.
Sex is the Stumbling Stone and the ‘Rock of Scandal’. You can be absolutely sure that those Yogis who do not practice Sexual Magic will never achieve birth in the Superior Worlds. The one who affirms the contrary is a liar, an impostor.
ASTROLOGY
In each REINCARNATION the human Being is born under a different star.
A wise man stated:
“I raise my eyes towards the Stars that will come to my rescue; nonetheless, I always follow the Star which guides my interior.”
Really, that Star is always the same; it does not change in any of our reincarnations. It is the Star of the Father. Thus, what is most important for us is to INCARNATE THE STAR OF THE FATHER. Behold here the Mystery of Arcanum 17.
When the Sap (which is contained within the Gold and Silver Cups) is wisely combined and transmuted, it allows us to attain the Incarnation of the Star. THE STAR, CRUCIFIED ON THE CROSS, IS THE CHRIST.
Samael Aun Weor
