Fiery Rose belongs to a series of initial books of a purely initiatory content.

This book was written in 1953, when Samael Aun Weor had just succeeded in raising his 4th Kundalini Serpent, thus attaining the Fourth Initiation of the Fire or of Greater Mysteries. As a result, he became a Buddha of the Cosmic Mind and an inhabitant of Nirvana, as he explains at length throughout the thirty-seven chapters of this book.

The Fourth Initiation of Greater Mysteries is known in Kabbalah as the Initiation of Netzach, and represents, as its name suggests, a great achievement, a great victory… involving nothing less than the christification of the mind, that is to say, the transformation of the matter-mind (lunar mind) into a Christ-mind (Solar Mind), by which the Initiate obtains an individualized Cosmic Mind at the service of the Innermost, of the Spirit.

The Christic Solar Mind is the same mind referred to by Paul of Tarsus (Master Hilarion) when he wrote:

‘Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.’ (Nous Christou)  (1 Cor. 2:16)

The Christ-mind, or Nous Christou in Greek, turns the Initiate into a real Super-Man, with abilities and powers that the human species cannot imagine, including access to the Universal Knowledge and the Objective Science of the Being, by which the Initiate becomes a competent investigator of the higher worlds.

In one word, it turns the Initiate into an Arhat with powers over everything created.

This transformation is possible thanks to the Sacred Fire of Kundalini, as it ascends through the thirty-three vertebras of the Initiate’s mental body, with all its initiatory tests, chambers and degrees.

Samael Aun Weor’s power of objective investigation is patently clear throughout the book in that it displays a deep study of Nature and its elemental life as well as its relationship with human life and evolution (a subject completely unknown to contemporary science), which the author deals with extensively and in a masterly way.

Fiery Rose is primarily a guide or ‘handbook‘ for the Initiate who is raising the Fourth Snake on the Rod, or in other words, for the Arhat.

Simultaneously, for the aspirant to the esoteric studies and students in general, the book offers extremely valuable information about the human mind: its origin, its real nature, and more importantly, how to know it and control it so as to stop being victims of it, thus achieving its gradual dominion and the accompanying Awakening of Consciousness.

Undoubtedly, this book, offers exceedingly valuable information to any serious student of Gnosis interested in going deeper into the Wisdom of Fire and its practical implementation.

‘This book smells of forests. This book smells of mountains. We are wrenching this book out of the flames of the universe, and each one of its words is written with blazing embers.
 
‘Now we want to wrench all the secrets of ancient wisdom out of the giants of the forests and out of the innocent children of the waters, air, rocks and blazing flames, in order to restore Esoteric Wisdom on the face of the earth and to initiate the Age of Maitreya amidst the crackling of our flaming powers…’

The Revolution of Bel was the second book by Samael Aun Weor. He wrote it a few months after his first book, The Perfect Marriage (The Gateway to Initiation), in 1950.

With these two books Samael Aun Weor set out the ‘keynote’ for his entire work during the first part of his mission, covering a period of almost thirty years, in his capacity of the Avatar (messenger) of the Age of Aquarius. Since with these two books he ‘started off’, preparing humanity for the approaching Age of Aquarius, both at an esoteric and cultural level.

In short, these two books contain the foundations of a new esoteric paradigm for humanity, following the decrees of the Conscious Circle of Solar Humanity (White Lodge).

If his first book, The Perfect Marriage deals at length with the Path of Initiation and how to access it; his second book, The Revolution of Bel, instead expands on the previous one, laying special emphasis on exposing the enemies of the Path of Initiation, and in general, of the plan of the Solar Logos for this humanity, namely the Black Lodge.

In The Revolution of Bel, Samael Aun Weor discloses the main doctrines, rituals, initiations of the black brotherhood, as he clearly explains its ethos and objectives. At the same time, the author unmasks its main hierarchs and institutions.

This was necessary, since all these black organizations appear as legitimate ones, using esoteric names and accepted doctrines, with the only aim of deceiving the aspirants, alienating them from the path of the Light and turning them into members of of black-magic orders, and all of this without them realizing it.

Throughout the book, Samael Aun Weor devotes a good number of pages to setting out the differences between the white and black initiation, thoroughly explaining how the white initiation is based on  the positive awakening of Kundalini, thus turning the aspirant into a Master or Adept of the White Brotherhood, while, on the other hand, the black initiation is based on fornication (seminal spilling) and the negative awakening of the serpent Kundalini, thus turning the aspirant into a ‘demon’, into a transgressing black magician.

Concurrently, in this book the author reveals in detail the personal process of one of the main hierarchs of the Black Lodge – one known by the name of Beelzebub, or simply Bel, who, believing that he was being initiated into a temple of Light in a remote past, in reality he was lured into the black path, eventually becoming one of its main leaders, the so-called ‘prince of demons’.

Fortunately, thanks to the personal effort of Samael Aun Weor, Beelzebub recognized his error, left the Black Lodge, and became an Adept of the White Lodge. Hence the title of the book The Revolution of Bel.

To better understand this historical period, in the last part of the book the author tells us that 1950 was a truly crucial year for humanity, not only because a main hierarch of the Black Lodge repented of his wrong ways and went over to the White Lodge – a thing never seen before in the history of humanity, but because two major events also took place in that year as a preparation for the Age of Aquarius.

The first one, following the instructions of the White Lodge, and fulfilling the prophecies of the book of Revelation, Samael captures and puts out of action the chief hierarch of the Black Lodge, a fallen Throne, called Jahve. This hierarch was the direct responsible for the failure of this humanity.

Jahve, the head of the Black Lodge, is locked up in Avitchi (abyss of the black moon), and with him thousands of black magicians; this bringing about a substantial cleansing of the astral atmosphere of the Earth, and eventually allowing for the successful beginning of the Age of Aquarius and for the birth and growth of the Gnostic Movement worldwide.

The second event, which took place in 1950, was the Final Judgement of humanity, in which the White Lodge certifies that human evolution has failed and that humanity deserves to be sent to the abyss.

And now, the remaining years, from 1950 onwards, what we have is an extra time given to humanity, a ‘period of grace’, a unique opportunity for us to take up the Path of Initiation and to clearly define our position, either for the Christ or for Jahve, either for the White Lodge or for the Black Lodge.

Finally, this book contains an extensive appendix with fifty-eight questions posed to Samael Aun Weor at that time. These questions and their answers deal with many diverse esoteric topics, some of them not found anywhere in the extensive corpus of the author’s work.

As its title indicates, The Greater Mysteries is a purely initiatory book written by Samael Aun Weor in 1956.

On that year, and being thirty-nine years old, Samael Aun Weor successfully completes the first stage of the Esoteric Path of Initiation (known as the ‘Mountain of Initiation’), a stage which covers the Five Great Initiations of Fire and the Eight Initiations of Light. As a result, he becomes an Adept or Master of the White Brotherhood.

Following this extraordinary achievement, Samael Aun Weor becomes a qualified Master to guide the Gnostic students, not only in regard to the Lesser Mysteries, but also in regard to the Greater Mysteries.

This book is part of an important ‘trilogy’ on the subject, comprising: The first book he wrote The Doorway to Initiation (and its definite sequel The Perfect Marriage), The Greater Mysteries and The Three Mountains, which he wrote in a period of twenty-two years as he gradually completed the Esoteric Path of Initiation.

The Greater Mysteries focuses on the subject of initiatory preparation, and comprises three parts:

The first part expands on the first book he wrote and deals with Esoteric Initiation and initiatory preparation. The second part thoroughly covers the personal initiatory process of Master Jesus the Christ in relation to the Greater Mysteries, and the third part covers various complementary subjects in relation to the Gnostic Movement and the Gnostic Teaching.

Much of the material in this book is found nowhere in the extensive Corpus of Samael Aun Weor, making this book a unique book in its own right.

Moreover, this book is a complete version of the book written by Samael Aun Weor in 1956 (not one paragraph has been left out).

The Greater Mysteries is a must for anyone wishing to have a practical, ‘hands on’ information on the subject of Initiation and a clear idea of what this Path is all about.

In The Three Mountains, Samael Aun Weor explains all the stages of the Path of the Inner Self-Realization of the Being (the Esoteric or Initiatory Path), here divided into ‘three mountains’ or three great stages, which are: The First Mountain or Mountain of Initiation, the Second Mountain or Mountain of Resurrection and the Third Mountain or Mountain of Ascension, ending in the Absolute itself, our original abode.

All the different stages are explained in great detail. The author condenses in this book all his personal initiatory journey, embracing more than thirty years of experience, and beyond. It is for that reason that the book is full of esoteric experiences and anecdotes told in the first person, making this book one of the most autobiographical books he ever wrote.

In short, this book is a map, the Map of the Path, traced by the expert hand of one of the most outstanding, contemporary representatives of the Conscious Circle of Solar Humanity – its reading being therefore indispensable for anyone who seeks to orientate himself or herself in the Esoteric Path in a positive and practical way.

In this book, and for the first time, the Path of the Perfect Marriage is publicly revealed. This Path is based on the full union of Man and Woman with a view to attaining a fully human and cosmic realization.

Samael Aun Weor proves, with great insight and many examples, that at the bottom of all great civilizations, religions and esoteric orders lie the Mysteries of Sex. These Mysteries were, for many centuries, kept zealously guarded amid the silence of the old Mystery Schools.

The Temple of Wisdom has two fundamental pillars: JAKIN and BOHAZ, or Man and Woman. And this temple is the eternal foundation not only of a family but of any genuine, integral civilization.

And now, in this new time, in the New Aquarian Age, this book comes out for the benefit of all those who are seeking an authorized and complete information about this subject, free from any form of personal bias.
