The symbol of time, to which the ring of bronze also makes emphatic reference, leads cyclically to the gnostic Arhat, as far as that ancient patriarchal epoch also known as the Bronze Age or Dvapara Yuga, which undoubtedly preceded our own Iron Age or Kali Yuga…
The best writers of treatises on occultism have always asserted that in between these two ages the second great catastrophe took place that totally modified the geological physiognomy of the planet Earth.
Among the ten sublime antideluvian patriarchs, the seventh is, beyond discussion, totally different from the six that preceded him in the course of the centuries (Adam, Seth, Enoss, Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared), as much as he is from the three that succeeded him (Methuselah, Lamech, Noah).
However, it is clear that what amazes us most in all this is the sacred name of Enoch, which translated means: initiate, dedicated, consecrated, master.
The Hebraic Genesis (V.24) asserts in a solemn manner that Enoch did not die physically, but that “he walked with God, and he was not, for God took him”.
Very ancient esoteric traditions lost in the night of the centuries say clearly that, being Enoch on the majestic summit of mount Moria, he had a clairvoyant Shamadhi in which his visionary Objective Consciousness was carried away and taken to the nine heavens cited by Dante in his “Divine Comedy”, and in the last of which—the one of Neptune—the patriarch found the Lost Word (his own Logos, his particular Individual Monad).
Later on that Great Hierophant wanted to express that vision in a permanent and eternal memory…
Categorically and with great wisdom he arranged that under this same blessed place a secret underground temple was built, consisting of nine domes laid out successively one under the other, inside the living entrails of the mountain…
His son Methuselah was certainly the architect in charge of building this extraordinary Sanctum…
The contents and specific roles of each of these domes or magical caves have not been mentioned; spiral staircases connected them to each other…
The last of these caves is, however, the one with all the occult importance, in such a way that those before it only constitute the indispensable secret path by means of which the last one is reached in the deepest part of the mountain…
It is this last one; the most intimate Sancta, where the patriarch Enoch deposited his richest esoteric treasure…
The Golden Fleece of the ancients. The ineffable and everlasting treasure that we look for, is never found on the surface, but we must scratch, dig, search for in the entrails of the Earth until it is found…
Going down bravely to the entrails or Hells of the Mount of Revelation, the Initiate finds the mystical treasure—his Divine Monad—which has been conserved for him throughout the uncountable centuries that preceded us in the course of History…
In Chapter II of the “Apocalypse” or “Revelation” of St John19 we can still read the following:
“To him who conquers I will give some of the hidden Mana. I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except him who receives it”.
Samael Aun Weor
