THE TWO RITUALS
There are certain tenebrous rites which survive from the most re mote periods of history. The witches of Thessaly celebrated certain rituals in their cemeteries or tombs to invoke the shadows of the dead. On the anniversary of the death of their loved ones they would
meet before the tombs in the cemetery and amidst the most terrifying shrieks, pierced
their breasts so that blood would flow. This served as a vehicle for the shadows of the
dead to materialize in the physical world. Homer, the great Initiate, recounts in the Odyssey something concerning a ritual celebrated by a witch on the island of Calypso, where the cruel Goddess Circe reigned. The priest cut the throat of a beast within a pit, filling it with blood. The priest invoked the Soothsayer of Thebes. Homer tells that the soothsayer answered the call and was able to totally materialize thanks to the blood. The Soothsayer of Thebes spoke personally with Ulysses and predicted for him many things. The wise author of Zoroaster said, “Write in blood and you will learn that blood is Spirit.” Goethe exclaimed through Mephistopheles, saying, “This is a very peculiar fluid.”
THE LAST SUPPER
The Last Supper is a magical ceremony of immense power; some thing very similar to the archaic ceremony of Blood Brotherhood. The tradition of this Brotherhood says that if two or more people mix their blood in a cup and then drink of it, due to the blood they will remain united forever. The astral vehicles of these people will then be intimately associated for all of eternity. The Hebrew people attribute to the blood characteristics of a very special type. The Last Supper was a Ceremony of Blood. Each of the apostles brought drops of their own blood in their cups, and emptied these into the chalice of Jesus Christ. In that Chalice the Adorable had also placed his Royal blood. Thus, in the Holy Grail, the blood of Jesus Christ was mixed with the blood of his disciples.
Tradition tells that Jesus also gave to his disciple’s infinitesimal particles of his own flesh to eat.
“And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This, s my both which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.”
In this way the pact was signed. Every pact is signed in blood. The astral of the Christ Jesus remained associated, united with his disciples and with the whole of mankind through the pact of blood. The Adorable is the Saviour of the World. This ceremony of blood is as ancient as the Infinite. All the great Avatars have verified it since ancient times. The Great Lord of Atlantis also celebrated the Last Supper with his disciples.
This ceremony of blood was not improvised by the Divine Master. This is a very ancient, archaic ceremony, the blood ceremony of the Great Avatars.
Every Gnostic Unction, whatever the cult or belief, sect or religion is associated, united intimately with the Last Supper of the Adorable by the pact of blood. The Primitive Holy Gnostic Christian Church, to which we have the privilege of belonging, conserves in secret the primitive rituals used by the Apostles. These were the rituals of the Christians who met in the catacombs of Rome during the epoch of the Caesar Nero. These are the rituals of the Essenes, a humble caste of great Initiates among whom was counted Jesus Christ. These are the primitive rituals of the ancient Christians.
These rituals have power. In them is contained all our secret science of the Great Arcanum. When we ritualiz, we vocalize certain mantra which has the power to sublimate the sexual energy to the heart. In the Heart-Temple lives the Internal Christ. When the sexual energies are sublimated to the heart, they then have the great joy of mixing with the forces of the Internal Christ, so that one is able to enter the superior worlds. Our rituals are repeated on all the seven great Cosmic Planes. The ritual ceremony establishes a secret channel from the physical region, passing through all the seven great Planes to the world of the Solar Logos. The Christic atoms of the Solar Logos descend via this channel, and then accumulate in the bread and in the wine. This really is how the bread and wine, through the work of Transubstantiation, become the flesh and blood of Christ. On eating the bread and drinking the wine, the Christic atoms are diffused throughout our whole organism and pass to the internal bodies to awaken in us those powers of a solar nature.
The apostles drank the blood of Christ and ate the flesh of Christ.
THE SEXUAL FORCES AND THE RITUAL
In the Bush of Horeb by Doctor Adoum (Magus Jefa), we have found a description of the black mass of medieval times. Doctor Adoum transcribes the paragraph from the work of Huysmans. This is such an interesting description that we cannot but make it known to our readers. Let us see:
“As a general rule a priest would officiate. He would undress completely, and then put on an ordinary chasuble. On the altar there lay a naked woman, usually the petitioner.
Two naked women served as acolytes; at times adolescents were used who would necessarily be naked. Those who attended the practice would clothed or naked according to the whim of the moment. The priest would carry out all the exercises of the ritual, and those present accompanied this representation with whatever obscene gestures. The atmosphere became more and more charged; the ambience became fluid to the highest degree. Of course ever in accordance; the silence, the darkness and the spiritual concentration, the current was attractive, that is to say it placed the assistants in contact with the elementals. If during this ceremony the woman lying upon the altar concentrated her attention on a desire, it was not unusual for it to produce an absolutely real transmission, a transmission which changed that; the object of her desire, into a real obsession. The goal was achieved. That day or during the following days the phenomenon occurred and was attributed to the generosity of Satan. However, this fluid environment always had a disadvantage to exacerbate the nerves, and to produce in some member of the assembly a hysterical state which some times became collective.
At any given moment it was not strange to see women out of their minds, tearing their clothing, and men abandoning themselves to wild gestures.
As well, two or three women would very soon fall to the floor seized by violent convulsions. They were simply mediums who entered into a trance. It was said that they were possessed, and everyone was satisfied.”
Here ends the account of Huysmans as transcribed by Doctor Adoum. By this account we can see how rituals and sexual forces have been abused with terribly evil acts. It is clear that during one of these rituals, the state of extreme nervous excitement, being absolutely sexual and passionate, violently provokes the generation of a kind of mental force saturated with creative energy. The result of such a ritual is a magical phenomenon.
Every ritual is related with blood and semen. The ritual is a double-edged sword. It defends and gives life to the pure and virtuous. The tenebrous and impure, it wounds and destroys. The ritual is more powerful than the dagger or dynamite.
In ritual, one works with nuclear forces. Atomic energy is a gift of God. Just as it can cure it can kill. Every temple in which the Holy Gnostic Unction is celebrated is in fact, and for that reasons an atomic energy plant.
In Atlantis the black magicians also utilized similar rituals, combined with the sexual forces. The result of those abuses was the destruction of that continent which had reached an extremely high level of civilization.
The sexual forces are intimately related with the four elements of nature. Every black ritual, every black mass, has its fatal coordinates in nature. Now we have explained what were the causes of the sinking of Atlantis. The sexual force is like electricity; it is found everywhere. It is a force that resides in the electrons. This force flows in the nucleus of every atom, and in the centre of every nebula. Without this force the worlds of infinite space would not exist. This is the creative energy of the Third Logos. White magicians and black magicians work with this force. White magicians work with white rituals, black magicians, with black rituals. The Last Supper of the Adorable Saviour of the World has an archaic and very ancient tradition, lost in the night of the centuries. The black mass and all those black ceremonies of the tenebrous derive from a very ancient, lunar past. In all the ages two rituals have existed; one of light, the other of darkness. The ritual is practical magic. The black magicians mortally hate the Holy Eucharist. The magicians of darkness justify their hatred of the rituals of bread and wine in the most diverse ways. Sometimes they give the Gospels the most capricious interpretations to suit their fancy. Their own subconscious betrays them. They try to do away with the Last Supper in some manner or other. They hate the Last Supper of the Adorable. Our disciples should be alert and vigilant towards this type of dangerous person. Everyone who hates the rituals of the Last Supper is a black magician. Everyone who rejects the bread and wine of the Holy Gnostic Unction in fact rejects the flesh and blood of Christ. Such people are black magicians.
THE GNOSTIC CHURCH
There are four very important ways with which every Perfect Matrimony should be acquainted. First; the way of the fakir, second; the way of the monk, third; the way of the yogi, fourth; the way of the balanced man.
The Universal Gnostic Christian Movement has school and religion. We live the first way in practical life, learning to live correctly. The second way lies in our Church. It has its sacraments, its rituals, and its convent life. The third way we live as practical occultists. We have our esoteric practices; special exercises for the development of the latent faculties within man. The fourth way, the path of the as astute man, we live completely in practice by leading the most balanced life. We study Alchemy and Kabbalah and we work disinte grating the psychological “I”.
We are not members of the Roman Catholic Church; that church follows only the way of the monk. We travel all four ways. We have the way of the monk in our Gnostic religion, with its patriarch, its archbishops, bishops and priests. For this reason we do not pertain to the Church of Rome. Neither are we against any other religion, school or sect. Many priests of the Church of Rome have passed o our ranks. People of all organizations have affiliated themselves with our Gnostic Movement. Our Gnostic Church is the most complete. In the way of the fakir we learn to live correctly. In the way of the monk, we develop emotion. In the way of the yogi we practice esoteric exercises which activate the dormant occult powers of man. In the way of the balanced man we work with Alchemy and Kabbalah and struggle to disintegrate the ego.
Our Gnostic Church is the transcendent Church. That church is found in the superior worlds. We also have many temples in the physical world. In addition we have opened thousands of Gnostic Lumisials where the holy rituals are celebrated; arid we study the Secret Doctrine of the Adorable Saviour of the World. We should not forget that our Gnostic Movement is both school arid religion, It has al ready been definitively proven that Jesus the Christ was Gnostic. The Saviour of the World was an active member of the Essene group, mystics who neither cut hair nor beard. The Gnostic Church is the authentic Primitive Christian Church who’s first Pontiff was the Gnostic Initiate called Peter. Paul of Tarsus also belonged to it. He was Nazarene. The Nazarenes were another Gnostic sect. The Primitive Christian Church was the true esoteric trunk from which many neo-Christian sects issued, such as Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, Adventism, the Church of Armenia etc. Frankly we have taken the decision to make publicly known the root of Christianity
Gnosticism. This is the Primitive Christian Church. The Patriarch Basilides belonged to this Gnostic Church. A celebrated alchemist, he left a book of lead with seven pages which is preserved, according to Master Krumm Heller, in the Kircher museum in the Vatican. Archeologists are unable to understand this book because it is a book of occult science. Basilides was a disciple of Saint Matthias. The Roman Catholicism of today is not true Catholicism. The legitimate and authentic Catholicism is the Primitive Gnostic Christian Catholicism. The Roman sect of today is only a deviation of Primitive Gnostic Catholicism. This is really the fundamental reason why we completely distance ourselves from the sect of Rome. Saints such as Saturnius of Antioch, the celebrated Kabbalist belonged to the Primitive Gnostic Catholic Christian Church, Simon Magus, who unfortunately strayed, Carpocrates, who founded various Gnostic con vents in Spain, Marcion of Ponto, Saint Thomas, Valentinus, the Great Master of Major Mysteries called Saint Augustine, Tertullian, Saint Ambrose, Irenaeus, Hippolytus, Epiphanius, Clement of Alexandria, Mark, the great Gnostic who gave his attention to the Holy Gnostic Unction, and who left us extraordinary teachings regarding the path of the sexual forces through the twelve zodiacal doors of the human organism. Also Gnostic were: Cerdon, Empedocles, Saint Geronimo and many other saints, of the Ancient Primitive Gnostic Catholic Christian Church from which the present day Roman sect deviated.
SACRAMENTS
In our Gnostic Church we have baptism, communion of bread and wine, matrimony, confession (amicable talks between Masters and disciples), and finally, the extremunction.
The Gnostic matrimony in the Transcendental Church is very interesting. In this Sacrament the woman wears the vestment of the Gnostic priestess, and her husband receives her as his wife. In this the Holy Masters officiate, and she is received as wife with the promise not to fornicate.
THE CHRIST
The Gnostic Church adores the Saviour of the World called Jesus. The Gnostic Church knows that Jesus incarnated the Christ, and for this reason it adores Him. Christ is neither a human nor a divine individual. Christ is a title given to every profoundly realized Master. Christ is the Army of the Voice. Christ is the Word. The Word is far beyond the body, the Soul and the Spirit. Whoever achieves incarnation of the Word receives in fact the title of Christ. Christ is the Word itself. It is necessary that in each one of us makes the Word flesh.
When the Word is made flesh in us we speak the Word of Light. In reality various Masters have incarnated the Christ. In secret India, the Christ Yogi Bãbãji, the immortal Bãbãji, has lived for millions of years. The Great Master of Wisdom, Kout Humi, also incarnated the Christ. Sanat Kumára, the founder of the Great College of Initiates of the White Lodge, is another living Christ. In the past, many have incarnated Him. In the present some have incarnated Him. In the future many will incarnate Him. John the Baptist also incarnated the Christ. John the Baptist is a living Christ. The difference between Jesus and the other Masters who also incarnated the Christ is in hierarchy. Jesus is the highest Solar Initiate of the Cosmos.
RESURRECTION
The Supreme Great Master Jesus lives presently with the same physical body, resurrected from the dead. The Great Master lives at this moment in Shamballa. This is a secret land in oriental Tibet. Together with the supreme Great Master live many other resurrected Masters who collaborate with him in the Great Work of the Father.
UNCTION
The Initiate Priest in a state of ecstasy perceives the Christ substance working magically, transmits his own influence to the bread and wine, awakening then the Christonic substance which is rooted in those elements, so that it may work miracles awakening the Christic powers of our internal bodies.
SACRED VESTMENTS
In the Great Gnostic Cathedrals the Gnostic Priest normally uses the three vestments of any Catholic priest (cassock, rochet and chasuble).
These three vestments legitimately belong to the Primitive Gnostic Catholic Christian Church. The cap is also used. The three vestments worn over one another represent the body, the Soul and the Spirit; the physical, astral and spiritual worlds. The cap means that he is a man. When he preaches, he covers his head to signify that he is only expressing personal opinions.
In the Gnostic Lumisials the priest only uses a sky blue tunic with a white cord at the waist. He also wears sandals. The Isis of the Gnostic Lumisials only covers her head with a white veil. That is all. In other times we ordained that those attending use their own tunics, a tunic similar to the one which each one has internally in the Intimus, according to his esoteric grade. Later we had to prohibit this custom due to abuses by many of those present who, believing them selves to be High Initiates dressed in beautiful tunics and gave them selves sonorous names. As well, this lent itself to pride. Many who were seen dressed in tunics of certain grades were filled with vanity and pride during the rite, and looked with scorn on those of a lesser esoteric grade.
THE OFFICIATING ALTAR
The officiating altar should be of stone. Remember that we work with the Philosophical Stone (sex). The altar also signifies the Philosophical Earth. The base of the chalice, the stem of the plant and the sacred cup symbolize the flower. This means that the Christonic sub stance of the Sun penetrates the uterus of the Earth making the grain germinate and the ear of wheat grow until the fruit appears; the seed. The grain being given, the rest dies. All the power of the Christ Sun is enclosed in the grain. The same thing happens with the wine. The Sun makes the grape mature. All the power of the Christ Sun is enclosed in the grape. With the Gnostic Unction all the Christic Solar powers are released from the bread and the wine. They then act within our organism, Christifying us.
EPIPHANY
Epiphany is the manifestation, or the revelation, or the ascension of Christ in us. According to Krumm Heller, Driesch the great theologian, said, “The discovery of what one desires, the Religare or the union with Divinity, must be by these four ways: receive God (the Eucharist), amorous union (Sexual Magic), filial love (feel oneself the Son of God), death and reincarnation.” The Gnostic lives these four ways.
THE PRETOR
The Gnostic Church exists in the higher worlds; the Cathedral of the Soul. In that cathedral, rituals take place at dawn on Fridays and Sundays, or whenever there is a need to do good for humanity. Many devotees attend the Pretor in the astral body. There are also athletes of the science of Jinas, who go in their physical body to the Pretor. There all these devotees have the privilege of receiving the bread and the wine.
KEY TO GO INTO ASTRAL CONSCIOUSLY
The key to go into astral is very simple. It is sufficient to go to sleep mentally pronouncing the powerful mantram FARAON. This man tram is divided into three syllables; FA-RA-ON. When the devotee finds he is in that state of transition which exists between vigil and sleep, he will go within : by means of conscious self-reflection and then will gently get up from his bed, completely identified with his light and fluid Spirit, in the astral body every devotee can attend the Pretor. People, who have not yet engendered the Christ Astral, suffer a great deal because they are unable to learn to go into astral, other than with many hardships and much work. Those who have engendered the Christ Astral in past reincarnations, leave the physical body with great ease.
KEY TO TAKE THE PHYSICAL BODY INTO A STATE OF JINAS
The disciple will concentrate on the Master Oguara. The disciple should fall asleep reciting this prayer: “I believe in Christ, I believe in Oguara, Bãbãji, Mãtãji and the Jinas Masters. Take me out of my bed with the physical body. Take me to the Gnostic Church with my physical body in the state of Jinas.”
The devotee will pray this prayer thousands of times. The devotee should fall asleep praying this prayer. When the devotee feels more asleep than awake, when he feels his body as if weak and full of lassitude, when he feels as though drunk with sleep, when he al ready begins to dream, he gets up from his bed “conserving sleep as the miser conserves his treasure”. All the power lies in sleep. In those moments, tremendous forces are working which elevate the vibration of the physical body, accelerating the movement of the atoms to surprising velocities. Then the physical body enters the state of Jinas. It penetrates hyperspace. If the student makes a leap with the intention of floating, then he will notice with surprise that he can fly. In that state he is invisible to the physical world; in that state he can attend the Pretor.
When the physical body is entering the state of Jinas it seems to inflate from bottom to top, from the ankles upwards. Properly speaking, it is not that it inflates, but rather that the astral forces permeate it. giving it that inflated appearance
GENERAL ASPECTS OF THE GNOSTIC RITUAL
When the Catholic officiant passes from the side of the Epistle to the side of the Gospel, for the profane Romanists it is the passing of Christ from Herod to Pilate, but for the Gnostic priests it is the step from one world to another after death.
THE FOUR SEASONS
We the Gnostics, have a different habit for each season. In the astral there are Angels who take turns in the work of helping humanity. Raphael in spring, Uriel in summer, Michael in the Autunin, Gabriel in winter. All these Angels attend the Gnostic rituals to help us.
THE OUR FATHER
Of all our ritual prayers the most powerful is the Our Father. This is a magical prayer of immense power. Imaginations, Inspiration, Intuition are the three obligatory paths of initiation.
The Master Huiracocha says the following, ‘First it is necessary to see spiritual things internally, and then one must listen to the Verb or Divine Word in order to have our organism spiritually prepared for intuition.” This trinity is found in the first three supplications of the Our Father; namely:
“Hallowed he Thy Name”, that is to say, the Divine Word, the magnificent name of God, the creative Word.
“Thy kingdom come”, that is to say, with the pronunciation of the Word, of the mantram, the internal Kingdom of the Holy Masters comes to us.
“Thy will be done”, the union with God, leaving all resolved... With these three petitions Krumm Heller says we have asked all. And if one day we achieve it, we will already be Gods, and in as much shall no longer need to ask.
The Gnostic Church preserves all the Secret Doctrine of the Ad ‘r able Saviour of the World. The Gnostic Church is the religion of happiness arid beauty. The Gnostic Church is the virginal trunk from which arose Romanism and all other sects that adore the Christ. The Gnostic Church is the only church that keeps in secret the doctrine which Christ taught by word of mouth to his disciples.
We are not against any religion. We invite the people of all holy religions who adore the Lord to study our Secret Doctrine.
We should not forget that there are rituals of light and darkness. We possess the secret rituals of the Adorable Saviour of the World. We neither scorn nor underestimate any religion. All religions are very precious pearls strung upon the golden thread of Divinity. We only affirm that Gnosis is the flame from which emerge all religions of the universe. That is all.
