Nearly adjacent to the brilliant constellation of Pisces we find that of Taurus, which is unquestionably related in an intimate way with the esoteric transcendent work: the capture of the Cretan Bull.
This animal had been sent to Minos by the god Neptune to be offered as a holocaust, but the king, greedily, improperly kept the bull for himself, and then the animal became frightful and menacing, terrorizing the whole country.
The legend of the centuries says that Hercules, the Solar Hero, easily obtained permission to seize, chain and drag it along the sea towards Mycenae.
It is indubitable that the work associated with the Hells of Jupiter is allegorical fully by the Sixth Work of Hercules…
It is not too much to remember in these pages the first Jupiter of the Greek theogony, father of all the gods, Lord of the Universe and brother of Uranus, Ur-Anas, that is, of the primitive Fire and Water, since it is known, according to classical lore, that in the Greek pantheon there are around three hundred Jupiters.
In his other aspect of Jove or Iod-Eve, he is the male and female Jehovah, or androgynous and collective Elohim of the Mosaic books, Adam-Kadmon of the kabbalists, the Iacho or Inacho of the Anatolia, who is also the Bacchus or Dionysus of the Phoenicians who continued the primitive theogony of Sanchoniaton…
The character always assigned to Jupiter, that of the venerable father of the gods, as Celestial Man, gave rise also to not a few Nordic names, such as the Herr-Man and Herr-Manas or Hermes, literally the Divine Man or Lord Man, Alcides or El Cid, theogonic precursor of all our prehistoric Cids of the Ballads (Romancero).
Unquestionably Jupiter, in the Punjab and the Registan, is Hari-Kulas or Hercules, the Solar Lord, the prototype of the Solar race, the Hari Mukh of Kashmir, that is, the Sun on the horizon of life.
Jupiter or IO-Pitar, that is, the father of IO, is the Divine Spirit of that ancient multitude of creators who, when reincarnated into bodies of the opposite sex, gave rise to the Greek fable of the loves of Jupiter with the virgin IO (iiiii ooooo), who was transformed into a celestial calf or Sacred Cow of the orientals, thus to escape the anger of Juno.
Jupiter and his Cow of IO (iiii oooo) provide us with the meaning of another set of archaic names, such as the same Gerion or Ferion— the one who herded the cows—, that of Hyperion Bosphorus—literally “the conductor of cows”—and even Gauthama the Buddha.
In this way, the multitude of the lords or Elohim Jupiter, are symbolized by the sexual hierogram of IO (iiiiii oooooo); it is clear that they have dozens of names in each tongue and a hundred or even a thousand of myths for each of these names in the respective tongues.
The whole of this ineffable legion of divine beings, all of these Elohim constitute, as an ensemble, the nameless, single God of the Tartesians, the authentic sublime Jupiter of ancient times…
By developing very carefully this transcendental theme, we can solemnly deduce the following: the Heaven of Jupiter is the abode of the Elohim, Nirvana…
Those devotees of the Path who, when arriving at the Fifth Initiation of Fire choose the spiral path, will enter Nirvana…
Integral development is different. In the name of the Truth I must confess frankly that this was always my main yearning…
The full development of all my superlative, nirvanic possibilities in the presence of my Cosmic Being, was my aspiration…
However, it is unquestionable that before ascending we must descend. Every exaltation must be preceded by an awful and terrible humiliation…
To chain the symbolic Bull of Crete, was really the task to follow, and this appeared to me to be horrible…
At that time of my actual existence, many severe sexual temptations were besieging me in the sinister Tartarus…
By exploring myself in a psychological manner, I discovered in the most profound depths of my own mind the famous Bull of Crete.
I saw it, yes, black, enormous, gigantic, menacing and with sharp horns…
It was obviously impressing itself in my psyche with passionate, unthinking, strong sexual impulses…
It was urgent to chain the beast, it was indispensable to disintegrate it, reduce it to cosmic dust…
Undoubtedly my Divine Mother Kundalini, the Igneous Serpent of our magic powers, assisted me…
This great cosmic event was celebrated by a party, which took place in the marvelous Temple of Jupiter…
Then many Kings and Priests of Nature, dressed up in the sacred purple, welcomed me…
Thus I went back into the Heaven of Jupiter, the abode of the Dominations, the nirvanic happiness…
In this way, by eliminating infra human elements, I reconquered my place among these ineffable Hierarchies, a state of consciousness that I had lost a long time ago, when in the central plateau of Asia, about a million years ago, I committed the error of eating from the forbidden fruit…
