Humbly, frankly, now I must confess that after having climbed the five steps of the Igneous Initiations, it became urgent for me to pursue the development in the Light with the Eight Degrees of the Venusian Initiation.
It becomes pressing to work in the Fiery Forge of Vulcan (Sex) when one truly requires the complete awakening of the First Serpent of Light.
The following is written in golden words in the Book of all Splendours: “The Kundalini develops, revolves and ascends in the marvellous aura of the Mahachohan”.
Unquestionably we first work with the Fire and then with the Light; we must never confuse the Serpents of Fire with the Vipers of Light…
The extraordinary ascent of the First Serpent of Light towards the interior and upper regions along the medullary spinal canal of the physical body enabled me to know the secret of the abyss.
The foundations of this secret can be found in the Law of the Fall, as formulated by St Venoma.
This is the formulation given by this Master of this cosmic law discovered by him:
“Everything existing in the World fall towards the bottom. And the bottom, for any part of the Universe, is its nearest “stability”, and this said “stability” is the place or the point upon which all lines of force arriving from all directions converge.
The centres of all the suns and all the planets of our Universe are just such points of “stability”. They are the lowest points of those regions of space upon which the forces from all directions of the given part of the Universe definitely tend. In these points there is also concentrated the equilibrium which enables suns and planets to maintain their position”.
“The Tiger of Turkestan”, commenting, says:
“In this formulation of his, Saint Venoma said further that everything when dropped into space, wherever it may be, they tend to fall on one or another sun, or another planet, according to which sun or planet the given part of space belongs to, where the object is dropped, each sun or planet being for that particular sphere, the ‘stability’ or bottom”.
These paragraphs in quotation marks refer clearly to the two aspects, external and internal, of the Law of Gravity.
“The external aspect is only a projection of the internal one”. In a three- dimensional form the secret gravitation of the spheres is repeated…
The central nucleus of this planetary mass in which we live is doubtless the mathematical place or point where all lines of force coming from diverse directions converge.
The involutive and evolutive forces of Nature can be found at the centre of planetary stability, where they reciprocally equilibrate.
Essential surges start their evolution in the mineral reign, continue in the vegetable state and then in the animal scale, and at last reach the level of the intellectual humanoid type.
Surges of life descend soon, involuting according to the Law of the Fall, reviving animal, vegetable and mineral processes, towards the terrestrial centre of gravity.
The wheel of Samsara turns: on the right-hand side ascends evoluting Anubis, on the left involuting Typhon descends.
The sojourn in the intellectual humanoid state is something completely relative and circumstantial.
Justly, we have been told that any one of the humanoid periods always consists of one hundred and eight lives of evolutive and involutive type that are always processed and repeated, be it in an elevated or in a lower type of spiral.
I clarify: one hundred and eight existences are always assigned to each rational humanoid period; these keep a strict mathematical concordance with the same number of beads that constitute the necklace of the Buddha.
After each humanoid epoch, according to the laws of time, space and movement, the wheel of the Arcanum 10 of the Tarot inevitably turns. Then, it is obvious and manifest that the surges of involuting life descend into the mineral kingdom submerged towards the centre of planetary stability, to ascend again evolutively somewhat later on.
Any new evolutive re-ascension from the terrestrial centre of gravity requires the previous disintegration of the Ego. This is the Second Death.
Since the Essence is bottled up in the Ego, its dissolution becomes indispensable so that the Essence is liberated.
The original pristine purity of the Essence is restored at the centre of planetary stability.
The wheel of Samsara turns three thousand times. If we really yearn for the final liberation, it really is imperative and urgent to understand this, to capture its deep significance.
Continuing the present chapter, it is necessary to call the attention of the reader to the following: when the three thousand periods of the great wheel are over, any type of intimate self-realisation becomes impossible.
In other words, it is necessary to assert the inescapable fact that each Monad is assigned mathematically three thousand periods for his deep interior self-realisation. It is indubitable that the doors close after the last turn of the wheel.
When this happens, the Monad, the Immortal Spark, our Real Being, collects its Essence and its Principles to absorb itself definitively in the bosom of the Universal Spirit of Life (the supreme Parabrahatman).
It is written in the Testament of Ancient Wisdom with mysterious characters of fire the concrete, clear and definitive fact that there are very few divine Monads or virginal Sparks that really want to achieve mastery.
When a Monad really yearns for mastery, it is indubitable that it obtains it by working intensively on its Essence.
It is very easy to recognise in the world of the dense shapes every Essence that is being intimately worked inwards by its divine Monad. This is the concrete case of any person with great spiritual restlessness.
Obviously, such a specific type of mystical longing could never exist in people whose Essence had not been worked inwards by its corresponding divine Monad.
Once, being on holiday in the seaside town of Acapulco in the Pacific coast of Mexico, I had to go into the yogic state of Nirvi-Kalpa-Shamadhi.
I wanted to know something about those monads that, after having endured the three thousand turns of the wheel of Samsara, had lost every cosmic opportunity.
What I saw on that occasion, far from the body, from the feelings and the mind, was extraordinary…
Totally submerged in the Current of the Sound, in the shining ocean of the Supreme Parabrahatman-Atman, I came in by the doors of an ineffable Temple…
It was not necessary to interrogate and investigate. I could feel the enormous reality of such sublime Monads in my whole Being: they are beyond Good and Evil.
Very small innocent creatures, flashes of the Divinity without self-realisation, happy beings but without mastery.
Those noble creatures floated deliciously in the immaculate whiteness of the Great Ocean, they came into the Temple or went out, prayed and kneeled down before the Buddhas, before the Holy Gods, before the Mahatmas.
Unquestionably, such divine Monads see the Masters in the same way that ants look up to people.
The Agnisvatas, the Buddhas of Compassion, the Hierophants, are for this type of monads without mastery something that cannot be understood, strange, enigmatic beings, terrifyingly divine…
In the Sanctas or Churches of the free life in their movement, these Monads obey the Holy Gods and serve them with infinite humility.
The enjoyment of these Monads is very well merited, because the Essence of each of them has known the horrors of the abyss and turned three thousand times in the wheel of Samsara.
In each one of the multiple cyclic turns of the Samsara Wheel are included multiple Evolutive processes through the Mineral, Vegetal, Animal and Humanoid Kingdoms.
Each one of the 3.000 fatal turns of such wheel means in fact terrible descendent involutions towards the planetary centre of stability, going down slowly through the Humanoid, Animal, Vegetal and Mineral steps.
Specifying real facts, we emphasize the following:
3.000 ascents from the Planetary gravity centre.
3.000 descents to the Planetary gravity centre.
3.000 times going up from the hard rock to the Rational Animal. 3.000 times going down from the Rational Humanoid to the stone.
3.000 times of repetition and failure in the 108 cycles of human lives.
Undoubtedly that those divine Monads excluded from the Mastery –because of intentional rejection or because they failed despite all their efforts—suffered very much in this painful valley of Samsara and in the Pluto’s dwelling (the submerged mineral kingdom).
This last fact is showing the infinite divine mercy and gives a sense to the elemental happiness that such Monads enjoy between the Universal Spirit of Life.
