Eden is the Ethereal World. Eden is sex itself.

The Ethereal World is the abode of the sexual forces. The Ethereal World is Eden. We were driven out of Eden through the doors of sex, thus we can return to Eden only through the doors of sex.

We cannot enter into Eden through false doors; we must enter into Eden through the doors out of which we were driven.

The governor of Eden is the Lord Jehovah. The Lord Jehovah dwells in Eden. The Lord Jehovah dwells in the Ethereal World, because Eden is the Ethereal World. The Ethereal World is Paradise.

Ether is the fifth element of nature. The blue color that we see in the distant mountains is the Ether of Eden. In future times, the Ethereal World will become visible and tangible in the air.

In those future times, the Elemental Gods of fire, air, water, and earth will become visible and tangible in the air for us. Everything comes from the Ether, everything returns into the Ether. The Ether is the orchard of Eden.

The Labarum of the Temple

Christonic semen is the raw-matter of the Great Work.

The semen is the pure living water. The semen is the spring water of everything that exists; the semen is the water of Genesis. A plant without water dries and dies; the water is vegetable semen within plants, this vegetable semen is transformed into leaves, flowers, and fruits. Marvelous are the combinations of this infinite substance.

The sea is the semen of the planet Earth; everything comes from the sea and returns to the sea. The continents emerged from the sea and will return into the sea.

We have the sea within our sexual glands, thus the mystery of life is hidden within our seminal waters. We emerged from the spermatic semen in that initial moment.

All animal species carry the secret of their existence within their seminal waters. People can only see the gross physical matter particles that form the material cortex of the pure living waters.

Yet, in Eden we know the waters of the sea of life; yes, in Eden we see the waters of Genesis glittering with glory. All things that are created emerge from this raw-matter of the Great Work. Marvelous are the combinations of this infinite substance.

A sacred cup filled with pure living water was never absent from within the sacred shrines of the temples; this is the Labarum of the Temple. Whosoever drinks of this water of everlasting life shall never thirst, and out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

These are the waters of Amrita, which is the Mulaprakriti of the Orientals; when the Great Night arrives, the entire universe will fade to dusk and be reduced to its semen (Mulaprakriti). The universe emerged from this water and will return into this water.

The pure living water is the Labarum of the Temple. The waters of Genesis are governed by the rays of the Moon and by the Elemental Gods of the waters.

The Sexual Act in Eden

Chastity alone reigns in Eden. Sexuality in Eden is as pure as the light of the Elohim, nonetheless, the sexual act also exists in Eden. Plants, flowers, trees, Gods, birds, reptiles, animals, and human beings: everything emerges from sex. Creation is impossible without sex.

As human beings have body, soul, and spirit, so do plants. The souls of plants are the elementals of Nature. Every plant, every tree, and every herb has its own particular individuality; thus, every plant is an individuality of body, soul, and spirit. These are the elementals of Eden; these are the innocent angels of Eden. These elementals are organized in vegetable families, which botanists have classified with Latin names.

Vegetal magic teaches us how to manipulate the elementals of plants. In Eden, these vegetal families have their temples and their Gods; the Gods of Eden are the Elemental Kings (the Malachim) of Nature.

Not a single plant can produce fruit without love and sex. The elementals of plants also know how to love; the nuptial bed of these ineffable beings from Eden is made by the roots of plants and trees. The elementals of plants connect themselves sexually; yet, in order to suppress seminal ejaculation (fornication), they know how to opportunely withdraw from each other, since the seed always pass into the womb without the need of ejaculating the semen. Thus, the female becomes impregnated and her fecundated internal vitality makes the fruit sprout. Marvelous are the combinations of this infinite substance. Thus, this is how the Ether of Life serves as an instrument for the reproduction of plants.

The Chemical Ether allows vegetal transformations. It transmutes, associates, and disassociates the chemical elements; this is how plants are filled with delicious fruits, and how life sprouts.

The Luminous Ether dyes the flowers and fruits with ineffable colors.

Then, everything becomes resplendent under the light of the sun, since the Reflecting Ether becomes like an ineffable mirror within which all of Nature is delighted.

Thus, this is how life surges forth from within the bosom of Eden.

The mountains in Eden are as blue as the sky and as transparent as crystal. Back when human beings lived in Eden, they reproduced themselves as the plants do; then, the rivers of pure living water flowed with milk and honey.

Then, human beings uttered the great, universal language of life, thus the fire, air, water, and earth obeyed them. All of Nature kneeled before human beings and served them, since they did not ejaculate their seminal liquor. Man and woman united sexually, yet, in order to suppress seminal ejaculation, they knew how to withdraw before the orgasm.

Then, during the sexual act, the lunar hierarchies utilized one spermatozoon in order to reproduce the species. One single spermatozoon easily escapes from the male sexual glands without the necessity of ejaculating the semen. This is how the woman was fecundated and human life sprouted. This is called an Immaculate Conception.

An ineffable Virgin, related with the constellation of Virgo, dwells in Eden; this being works with the rays of the Moon. She is the Immaculate Conception; she is a primordial Elohim from Paradise. Those who return to Eden know her, because this fully-pure Elohim governs the Immaculate Conception.

Blessed be love. God shines upon the perfect couple.

Lucifer

If you have your lamp filled with oil, then the temple will always be filled with light. Yet, if you spill the oil of your lamp, the fire will be snuffed out, and you shall be cast out into the outer darkness, where only weeping and the gnashing of teeth are heard. The semen is the habitat of fire; if you spill the semen, your lamp will be snuffed out and you shall sink into the luciferian outer darkness: in other words, the Lord Jehovah said: "Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." [Genesis 2:16-17] In Eden, the elementals do not spill the semen.

When we spill the semen, the lamp is without fuel, then the flame is extinguished and we enter into the outer darkness of Lucifer. The semen is the fuel of the lamp; without fuel, a lamp cannot burn, and where there is no fire, there is no light. Then, only darkness reign.

Woeful is the inhabitant of Eden that dares to spill his semen; his lamp will be snuffed out for lack of fuel, and he will sink into the luciferian outer darkness.

The tree of the science of good and evil is sex. Human beings were driven out from Eden when they ate of the forbidden fruit. Adam was all the men of Eden, and Eve was all the women of Eden. In other words, when Adam and Eve spilled the oil of their lamps, these were darkened for lack of oil, thus they lingered in profound darkness. This how humanity exited Eden.

The fire of the Holy Spirit is the igneous serpent of our magical powers. The fire of the Holy Spirit is the Kundalini, the fountain of every life. This fire is secluded within our semen. Therefore, if we spill the semen, the fire will die and we will enter into the kingdom of darkness.

When human beings spilled their semen, they entered into the kingdom of Lucifers. Lucifer as a demon is terribly perverse. The Lucifers are his legions who obey and follow him.

Sexual passion is the foundation of the Lucifers. When human beings allowed themselves to be seduced by the Lucifers, they spilled the oil from their lamps and remained in darkness. Human beings exited Eden through the doors of sex, and through the doors of sex they entered into the kingdom of the Lucifers.

If human beings want to return to Eden, then what they must do is to fill their lamp with oil and to light it. This is how they will leave the kingdom of the Lucifers and enter again into Eden. This is how we leave the darkness and penetrate into the light.

Jehovah, Lucifer, Christ

There are luciferian beings as well as Edenic beings. The luciferian being spills his semen, yet the Edenic being does not spill his semen. This present humanity is luciferian, yet the ancient humanities, namely the Polar, Hyperborean and Lemurian Root Races were Edenic humanities. Comprehend that the Edenic state is a state of consciousness, and that the luciferian state is just another state of consciousness.

Thus, just as any person has a body of bones and flesh, likewise a being from Eden can have a body of bones and flesh. Similarly, just as any person has a body of bones and flesh, likewise a luciferian being can have a body of bones and flesh, because the Edenic and Luciferian states are just states of the consciousness.

When human beings exited Eden, their consciousness was submerged into certain atomic strata or luciferian regions. Then the human soul sank into its own atomic infernos and lost its powers. This is how the soul exited Eden, how the Edenic being died, and the luciferian being was born. This is why the Lord Jehovah said,

Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. - Genesis 2:16, 17

Within the gigantic patios of the temples of ancient Lemuria, men and women united sexually in order to create; at that time the sexual act was guided by the Elohim. Man and woman (sexually united) knew how to withdraw before the orgasm in order to avoid the seminal ejaculation.

At that time, the Elohim were utilizing one spermatozoon and one feminine gamete in order to create, since only one spermatozoon and one feminine gamete are needed in order to create. A spermatozoon is so infinitesimal, so microscopic, that it can easily escape from the sexual male glands without the necessity of spilling the semen. This is how the Edenic being sexually reproduces. This is how the children of Immaculate Conception are born. This is what Immaculate Conception means.

Lucifer tempted the human being and the human being fell into temptation. Lucifer as a black magician wears a bloody colored tunic and covers his head with a red cap like the Bons and the Drukpas from oriental Tibet. The lustful forces of the Luciferians awoke animal passion within human beings; then men and women started to ejaculate their semen. This is the cause for which the Lemurian tribes were expelled from the temples.

Then, in those times of yore, the Kundalini, that was victoriously lifted up in the medullar canal, descended to the coccygeal bone and there it lingered, enclosed within the chakra Muladhara. The lamp of the temple was snuffed out and the human being sank himself into profound darkness.

Thus, this is how the Edenic being died and the Luciferian being was born. Then, when the human being ate from the forbidden fruit, the Lord Jehovah said,

Behold, the man is become as one of US, to know good and evil. - Genesis 3:22

If the human being had not eaten from the fruit of the tree of knowledge, he would have risen to the Angelic state, yet he would have done it in a primeval innocence. In Eden, in relation to the Lord Jehovah, we were as the fingers of the hand are in relation to the brain.

However, Lucifer gave us independence. The forbidden fruit made us cognizant of the science of good and evil. This science is very profound. There is good in the evil and there is evil in the good. There is something evil within everything good; there is something good within everything evil. Crime is also hidden within the incense of prayer; crime is also hidden within the perfume of litany.

There exists much virtue in the evil ones, likewise there is much evil in the virtuous ones. Whosoever knows the good from the evil and the evil from the good receives the terrible sword of Cosmic Justice.

Angels know the science of good and evil. Angels are perfect humans. Angels also exited Eden and returned into Eden; this is why they are Angels. As we presently are, the Angels also were formerly.

Hence, we exited Eden; nonetheless, we knew good and evil. So, we exited Eden; nonetheless, we acquired self-independence.

Jehovah, the governor of Eden, said,

Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. - Genesis 2:16, 17

Yet, Lucifer said unto the woman,

Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as Gods, knowing good and evil. - Genesis 3:4, 5

Thus, this is why when the human being ate from the forbidden fruit the Lord Jehovah said,

Behold, the man is become as one of US, to know good and evil. - Genesis 3:22

This is how we acquire wisdom; this is how we achieve self-independence. This is how we acquire cognizance of the science of good and evil.

Nevertheless, now we must return into Eden in order to become as Gods, knowing the science of good and evil. We must enter into Eden through the same door through which we exited. We exited Eden through the door of sex, and only through that door can we return into Eden. So, let us return into Eden in order to become as Gods.

Eden is sex itself, therefore if we want to enter into Eden, we must return to the primeval sexual system of Eden. We must enter through the door of sex because that is the door from which we exited. Another door to enter into Eden does not exist. Another door to exit Eden does not exist. We must enter through the door from which we exited, this is the Law.

The human being sank into the atomic infernos of nature when he exited Eden. If it was not for Christ, it would be impossible for us to leave the abyss. Fortunately, a Savior was sent to us; that Savior is Christ.

We must now incarnate Christ within our selves in order to return to the Father. No one comes to the Father, but through the Son.

Only in the redeemer’s blood can our robes be washed and made white, to dress us, so that we can enter into Eden, exactly through the same door from which we exited. The supreme obedience of Christ opposed the supreme disobedience of Adam.

Jehovah gave us his commandments. Lucifer gave us individual self-independence and Christ redeems us from sin. This is how the Gods are lifted up from the mud of the earth.

The Tree of Life

Thus, this is how the sentence of the Lord Jehovah was accomplished: "So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the Tree of Life." [Genesis 3:24]

The two trees of Eden are: the Tree of the Science of good and evil, and the Tree of Life. These two trees of the orchard even share their roots.

The Tree of Life is represented in our physical body by the spinal column, and the Tree of Knowledge is represented by our sexual organs; these trees of Eden even share their roots. God placed Cherubim and a flaming sword to keep the way of the Tree of Life. If the fallen human being could eat the delicious fruits of the Tree of Life, then now we would have fornicator Gods. That would have been the damnation of damnations, the most terrible sacrilege, and the impossible.

This is why, menacingly and terribly, the flaming sword of cosmic justice blazingly turns every way, to keep the way of the Tree of Life.

The Tree of Life is the "the Being."

Now then, we must know that the Innermost is our Spirit, the Being, the Tree of Life. The Innermost is the most beloved son of the "Inner Christ." The ray from which our very Innermost emanated is our Inner Christ. The Inner Christ is One with the Father.

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are a perfect Triad. The Innermost was born from this Triad. The Innermost is enveloped by six inferior vehicles, which penetrate and co-penetrate without confusion, thus forming the human being. All faculties and powers of the Innermost are the fruits of the Tree of Life.

Human beings will eat the fruits of the Tree of Life when they return to Eden; then, they will see God face to face without dying, the lightning will serve them as a scepter, and the tempests will be as carpeting for their feet.

Ten tides of life exist that penetrate and co-penetrate without confusion; these ten eternal emanations are the ten Sephiroth of Kabbalah; these are the ten branches of the Tree of Life. Now, we comprehend why God placed ten fingers on our hands. The twelve senses of the human being are related with our spinal column; the physical exponent of the Tree of Life is our spinal medulla. These twelve senses are the twelve fruits of the Tree of Life.

Initiation

Human beings fell into the abyss when they exited Eden. It is impossible for us to leave the abyss without the help of a Savior.

The guardians of the Light and of the Darkness are between Eden and the Abyss. The guardians of Eden keep the way to the Tree of Life. The guardians of the Abyss are the tempting Lucifers.

When we exited Eden, we penetrated into the tenebrous abysses of nature. We can only leave those abysses by means of cosmic initiation. Every initiation is a spiritual birth.

Whosoever wants to be born has to enter into the feminine womb in order to be gestated; thus, this is how the right to be born is acquired by the one who wants to be born. Initiation is totally sexual, thus if we want to be born, we need to practice sexual magic with our spouse.

The clue of sexual magic is the following: "Introduce the virile member into the feminine vagina and withdraw without spilling the semen (without orgasm)." This is the sexual act performed by the creatures who live in Eden.

When we were within the womb of our physical mother, we developed organs, viscera, glands, etc. Thus, when we are practicing sexual magic, we are in a process of spiritual sexual gestation; then, we develop the flowers of the soul. This is how we awaken the fire of the Holy Spirit and transform ourselves into Masters.

Thus, within the womb of the Great Mother, we are gestated as Gods. This is how to awaken the Kundalini and transform ourselves into Gods.

When human beings ejaculated their semen, they sank into pain and lost their occult powers, because when the semen is ejaculated, the human consciousness submerges within the atomic infernos of nature, which is the kingdom of the Lucifers. This entire humanity dwells in the abyss.

One becomes aware that one is dwelling within the abyss only when one is prepared to exit it. We can exit the abyss only through initiation. There exist eighteen initiations, which are eighteen cosmic births. These are constituted by nine Initiations of Minor Mysteries and nine Initiations of Major Mysteries.

Initiation pertains to your very life; initiation pertains to the consciousness and to sex. Our consciousness is a spark, detached from the great cosmic consciousness. We had mineral, plant, and animal consciousness; now, once we acquire human consciousness, then much later we can have Angelic, Archangelic, Seraphic, etc., consciousness.

To state that "this is good" or "that is evil" is an easy matter, yet to have cognizance of good and evil is very difficult. Likewise, to state that 2 + 2 is 4 is very easy, yet to have cognizance that 2 + 2 is 4 is a matter that pertains to Gods.

The drunkard knows that drinking alcohol is wrong, yet the drunkard does not have cognizance that drinking alcohol is wrong. If the consciousness of the drunkard became cognizant that drinking alcohol is wrong, then he would prefer that "a millstone be hung about his neck and that he be drowned in the depth of the sea" than continue in the vice of alcoholism.

Our consciousness awakens by means of more elevated levels of the Being and life. Thus, knowledge that does not become cognizance is worthless. Millions of spiritualist students study our books, yet the intellectual knowledge of the written truths alone is worthless, because having cognizance of these truths is what is important. Thousands of spiritualist students believe they have cognizance of the truths they have read; wretched beings... They are mistaken...

Only the great Masters of Major Mysteries have cognizance of those truths.

Students of spiritualist schools are parroting chatterers who repeat what they read, that is all. Therefore, what is important is the awakening of the consciousness, because the intellect is just a function of the animal soul, yet the consciousness is a function of God.

There is a mountain; at the bottom of it is the abyss. The one who wants to exit the abyss has to climb the mountain. There are two paths that lead to the summit. The first path turns in a spiral way around the mountain, thus spirally it reaches the summit. Yet the second is the straight, narrow, and difficult path that as a straight line reaches the summit.

The entire suffering humanity climbs along the spiral path that resembles a snail-shell shape, while few are the initiates that climb along the narrow path. The spiral path is very long, yet the narrow and difficult path is short. The latter is the initiatic path of woe and renunciation.

Great schools of mysteries existed in the past: these schools of mysteries existed in Egypt, Eleusis, Troy, Rome, Cartage, Babylon, Aztecs, Incas, Druids, etc. At that time, only the priests of privileged castes were allowed to enter into initiation; then, the entire drama of "the Passion of the Lord" was represented within those temples of mysteries. But then our Lord the Christ came and publicly opened the path of initiation for all human beings.

Hence, what is remarkable about Jesus Christ is the fact of having publicly represented this drama upon the old roads of Jerusalem. This is how he opened the doors of the temple for all human beings.

"Ask and it shall be given you. Knock and it shall be opened unto you. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto light, and few there be that find it." - Matthew 7: 7, 14

"Among a thousand who seek me, one finds me. Among a thousand who find me, one follows me. And among a thousand who follow me, one is mine." - Bhagavad-Gita

When the black age dawned, the schools of mysteries were closed in the physical world. Now, we have to seek those schools within, very deep within our own consciousness.

Only those who have ascended through the nine degrees of the Minor Mysteries can enter into the Major Mysteries.

People remember the Son of God, yet they do not remember the Son of Man. Notwithstanding, the Divine Master is God and Human. The Divine Master opened the path of initiation for all human beings; however, in order for him to open the path for everybody, he had to tread the path himself, thus He became a perfect man: He became a God.

The path of perfection is a path of the terror of love and law.
