With the permission of the Mighty gods and our soul thrilled we begin this profound study on AKER: Protector of the Sun-God RA…
According to some, Aker the guardian, was the deified horizon, guardian of the eastern and western horizons of the afterlife. He protected the solar barge of Ra as it entered and left the underworld at dusk and dawn respectively. We the Gnostics do not deny this but more needs to be said about Aker in order to disseminate the great symbolism hidden in the Great Arcanum of nature.
Aker is the lord of duality, one can verify this by looking at the positive-negative aspect present in the two lions, or better said: The Lion and the Lioness, one on each side of the solar disk, alluding the latter, to the sun-god RA.
Many writers and authors have written marvelous things about the two headed lion and how that symbol has evolved through time., but almost all of them have left unnoticed the irrefutable fact that one of the lions is, in fact, a Lioness. Thus highlighting the two sides of the complex machinery of the universe. The cosmos, our planet, the stars and even humanity have the common cause of love, manifesting in the mother-father of all things, Elohim.
Aker is also the guardian of the sun god RA against his eternal enemy, the demon god Apep or Apophis by imprisoning his coils to secure safe passage of Ra. The Sun Disk is a very powerful icon in ancient Egypt, it symbolizes the origin of creation and is the source of light and an allegory of rebirth and resurrection of the initiated ones. All this symbolizes the highest works of the gods in the internal worlds, in order to maintain the rhythms of the celestial bodies up above the sky so that life perpetuates incessantly in all dimensions of nature. In Christianity, the inscription INRI is very well known as it appears on the superior part of the vertical board of the cross on which our lord the Christ was immolated, and means exactly the same.
Only Aker with his magnificent powers can neutralize the poisonous bite of the snake demon god.
The two lions represent sacred alchemy.
Through man and woman and sexual intercourse in a transcendental way, we can protect the midnight sun, the child Christ sun, when it is born in us.
In the lion on the left, if we are observant, we can discover with much astonishment the principles of femininity. In the lion on the right we can discover the real man, the true man, a complete knight as a result of sexual transmutation. More information on the topic of supra sexuality can be found in the links here provided.
Day and night, light and darkness, life and death are some examples of the eternal struggle among the white lodge and the black lodge, which are represented with the The black and white squares on the floors of the Gnostic-Masonic temples.
The two main columns of the great white lodge, are also present in the two lions.
Aker is, without a doubt an Elohim, a mighty god with terrible powers and the two polarities actualized in his essence to give life, and give it abundantly like the sun gives its light every single day indiscriminately…
Contemporary Egyptologists don´t understand what this motif signifies, despite the interpretations of Symbolist scholar, Schwaller de lubicz, whom I quote here:
“…There is this moment which cannot be located in Time…I call it the Present Moment…This [Egyptian Aker Lions] symbol…is the eternal Present Moment…the Present Moment is Eternity…The Present Moment…is outside of Time.”
—Schwaller de Lubicz, Symbol and the Symbolic, 1951
It is clear that if one ignores the secret of the arcanum, one will not be able to articulate the truth hidden in this Excellent ancient Egyptian artwork.
We could study this subject for years, centuries, or perhaps millennia, without really understanding what is being communicated here, without the knowledge of sexual alchemy nothing would make sense. Fortunately, the sexual key is present, it couldn’t be missing, it is in the Ankh cross, a very meaningful variation of the christian esoteric cross but in this case instead of having the vertical board pointing to the sky it has a circle, thus forming the astrological symbol of venus, the morning star of love and eroticism, meaning the eternity and how with the practice of sexual magic the initiate may conquer immortality and be one with the gods.
The cross hangs underneath the sun disk, As if to say something about the balance and harmony that must exist in the Gnostic matrimonies in order to attain the solar virtues and therefore become RA himself, perhaps this would be too much… in any case, through the studies and practicing of contemporary gnosis one can climb Jacob’s ladder, and reach the highest realms of spirituality by overcoming psychological darkness, which are personified by Apep infernal snake of terror.
The sexual connection in which couples find their counterpart unites them in all the levels of consciousness known to us, these levels are:
- Matter: The Physicality, the human body with its five senses.
- Energy: The thoughts, feelings, ideas, criteria, concepts, etc.
- Spiritual: The profundity of the inner god, our connection with the divine.
This is an issue, if we consider the fact that in this twenty first century the creative sexual act is consider sport, hobby, luxury. With promiscuousness being practiced in almost every human social level men and women are linking forces that should not be linked, mixing emotions, desires and obsessiveness that only bring about the Karmatic aspect of life, that is Anubis the god of Karma because we are binding our souls with all the other souls of people that we had had as sexual partners in our life without even getting married.
Sexual Energy creates and creates anew, its the force of the universe that supports the sun disk in the center of the lion and lioness, in fact; the lion itself symbolizes fire, the mystical element that no scientific nor mystic man has ever being able to decipher. The solar sacred fire renews nature incessantly, it does not matter if is in the cosmic, energetic or anthropological level, that is the intrinsic reason for Aker to guard the Sun at dusk and dawn as if he wanted to make sure of the continuity and renovation of life.
Indications of the cult of aker
According to wiki-mitologia:
“Aker first appears during the I Dynasty, under the pharaohs Hor Aha and Djer. An unfinished decorative palette from Djer’s tomb in Abydos shows Aker devouring three hearts”
This represents the divine nature of Aker in relation to the destruction of the three headed demon that exists inside of us all: the mind, the desires and the wrong acting. In esoteric Christianity we are told of the three traitors. Judas Pilate and Caiaphas.
Apparently the location of Aker’s main worship center is unknown, at least for ordinary people, because the true alquimist knows very well where to find Aker, he is hidden in the secret arcane, in the bridal bedroom and it could be actualized through the art of loving.
Its mythological function is fully described for the first time in the famous pyramid texts of Pharaoh Teti, but in a veiled way… if one wants to understand Aker’s royal functions the disintegration of Apophis, his antithesis, is required.
Unlike other theologies and cultures of planet Earth, Where the gods with their respective functions appear before our eyes with a human or even angelic face or body, the Egyptian gods always appear in all ancient manuscripts with the body or head of an animal, to illustrate us on how their gods and their secret lives were unfolded in the fourth dimension, where the form is changeable and adaptable at all times. therefore gentlemen, we are before the Jinn science and its maximum exponents as were the Egyptian gods and goddess. It is one more wonderful manifestation of ancient nahualism…
These days, Egyptian wisdom is nothing but deep darkness for us, because we are not able to see the reality of its wonderful gods and goddesses of antiquity, due to the fact that our conscience sleeps unfortunately.
In this sense, Master Samael Aun Weor states the following:
“The Egyptians, when they covered themselves with their cloak and closed their eyes for the physical world, were left in darkness for the world, but in splendid light for the Spirit.
Today, there are many sages tucked into the Egyptian darkness. Yet they glow with the sacred fire in the Amenra.”
Samael Aun Weor – “The Perfect Matrimony” Chapter: Egyptian darkness
In the new age of Aquarius the cult of Aker needs to be reestablished, as well as the veneration to all the mighty gods of ancient times. thus and only thus humanity would reconquer its forgotten place in heaven…
