4-0 out of 5 stars Basic, Clear and Handy
This is a nice little pocket-book of some famous prayers compiled from the books of the
Gnostic Anthropological founder Samael Aun Weor.

They derive from various Rosicrucian, Theosophical, Latin, ancient Indian and Aztec sources amongst other unknown sources.

I have used some of them and have found mysterious success, for instance mainly with one used for protection in danger.

(For me, I would have included much more in a book of this nature.) ... Read more

Book Description
“Previously, so comprehensive a guide book has not been readilyavailable.”

Initiation is a reality. Humanity has a potential to grow far beyond its native state of consciousness and capability. This growth is aspiritual growth. Its fruits inform and empower every facet of human,mortal expression, while disclosing to each of us our own inherentlyimmortal natures.

On this spiritual growth, more than any other thing, the future welfareand progress of humanity depends.

For thousands of years, Adepts have known how to unlock or awaken this growth - how to mature it and unleash genius at will. Beginning in 1906, two such Adepts, Aleister Crowley and George Cecil Jones,organized and made public the mystical and magical disciplines bywhich any motivated person can achieve this spiritual maturity andhave direct experience of realization, liberation, union with God, orcosmic consciousness.

They called their system A .'. A .'. Its methods are those of empiricalscience; its aims, those of devoted religion.

This book explores, step-by-step, the mystical and magical system of the A .'. A .'.For many in the West, it is a strange thought thatspirituality can be drilled in the same way that a muscle isstrengthened. Yet, an ear trained to listen to music detects wondrous subtleties that the untrained ear misses. The same is true of thepalate trained to distinguish fine food and wine, or the eye trained to discriminate nuance in any of a thousand areas.

The same is true of spiritual experience. The stages of its unfoldingare distinct: the discovery of one's True Will (or who one is in theUniverse), and the practical means of expressing this in the world; the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel (or consciousunion with the Divine); and the continued advance toward and throughthat vast gulf, or Abyss, which lies between humanity and Divinity.

The author, in more than 20 years of experience of the mystical andmagical system of the A .'. A .'., has derived enormous value from it. This book is the clearest, most complete presentation of the systemever written.

“Never before have the inner pathways of this Journey been so finelymapped, nor the Way so clearly marked. To you, dear children of theLight, do we deliver freely what has been given to us. May the Way beopened for all who would walk it, proudly, joyously, serenely - withstrength, wisdom, love, and the LIGHT which informs them with Beauty.” - from Chapter 11 of the Mystical and Magical System of the A .'. A .'. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Brother Eshelman weaves a great tale!
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law

The Temple of Thelema, with accordance to the Will of the A.'.A.'., produces a magnificent HC of previously unattainable works, within this Linage of the A.'.A.'.The Work of the A.'.A.'. is enhanced by this endeavor.Such alliances with a legendary organization known as Ordo Templi Orientis, by individual aspirants should be welcomed after reading this book.

Moreover, Brother James creates in a single volume, a treasure of references to be held by astute members of the Occult community.Brother James is a Legend in Temple lore, and should be held in the highest regard with all Aspirants.

Brother E.'. is to be held in the highest regards, and this work of the A.'.A.'. should be archived in all serious Thelemic students.

Those wishing to seperate the two Orgs. should see what he, the Cornelius, and MPS lines see of the A.'.A.'., and what is "Really there".

Love,

Love is the law, love under Will

3-0 out of 5 stars Valuable source book for the A.'.A.'. system
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

This book is very valuable for the students and practioners of the A.'.A.'. system. The material is logically ordened and there is a lot of useful backround information about the A.'.A.'.
The only problem I have is with the lineage talk. As far I know that the A.'.A.'. is Onebecause there is just one eye in in the triangle and if people claim to be successors of past personswho were involved into the system they Profane the system in a political way. Who cares about past lineages? If you work seriously within this system you are a part of the A.'.A.'. current.

The other problem I have is with the accent on the use of "she" instead of "he" to get rid of the masculine influences. I believe this is very insignificant and not to the point. We are all stars in the first place no matter when you are male or female. I have to say that this annoyes me while reading the book.

Hopefully the editores will change this.

Love is the law, love under will.

5-0 out of 5 stars Fantastic
This is the most comprehensive book on the A.A. I have ever read.Everything that is necessary to succeed in the A.A. System is presented here and explained in detail.The quality and content of the book far exceeded my expectations.This book is definitely an invaluable tool. Thank you James Eshelman.

3-0 out of 5 stars A great guide for solitary A.'.A.'. work
This book is an excellent guide to working the A.'.A.'. system in a solitary fashion and especially with the various organizations in the thelemic community asking for cash and services for the price of attainment.The A.'.A.'. system can be persued successfully without any teacher ranting and raving and should be in my opinion.The author's background is one of much intrigue and his involvement with a book such as this is a productive and asset to any serious thelemic student yet unfortunately his biases weren't left out and it is evident.This book is worth the price for the craftsmanship put into this book, photos, nice paper in a complete package.

5-0 out of 5 stars Essential
This is one of the core books. Sits on my library next to 777 and other essential books. This book gives you the path of the AA down pat. Gives you all of the references and puts everything in front of you so that you can be practicing the art, rather than looking all over trying to find what you should be studying next.
Also the author assimilates all of the syllibuses for the grades and presents them in a digested format, so that you can get a good overview of what you are supposed to be learning at that particular grade.
Contains many nice pictures and also gives some interesting information of who the key players were during the formation and early times of the AA. Gives the true identities of Magickal mottos listed on many AA documents from the past as well.
A good reference for anyone wishing to tread the path of the snake. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Difference of Opinion, I Guess
Parsons was brilliant, and Parsons was stone crazy.I find his insights questionable at best, and deluded at worst.

Admittedly, I come from a "fourth way" perspective, but Parsons' philosophy strikes me as superficial and rather self-serving.His ideas are great for those building their own personality cult, but for real insight, Parsons is lacking.

_Freedom_ is useful as a study of the foundation of certain modern ideologies, but only in an academic sense.

4-0 out of 5 stars cOTO does something right once in a while....
Its nice cOTO (Caliphate OTO) ocassionally publishes something decent and useful like this instead of suing people and behaving like a scary little sister of Scientology, Inc. (Which Parsons can legitimately be co-credited with creating, due to his formative influence on L. Ron Hubbard)...

The Book itself?Classic Parsons, though it avoids some of his sharper and more controversial material (ie his letters and his 'Autobiography of a Master of the Temple') ; Its a good introduction to the wild mixture of deep insight and bullgoose insanity that was Jack Parsons.

A 'complete works' would be much more useful. ... Read more

The diminutive size of this book belies the extreme depth of its contents: the practical and urgent nature of the teachings provided here are as potentially transformative as a lightning strike.The serious spiritual investigator will find essential steps leading to the direct experience of the mysteries of life, death, karma, suffering, and the root of existence: the Emptiness or Void.This is not merely a recitation of theories or doctrines: it is the practical experience of the author, as acquired through the awakening of the consciousness, and is in accordance with the universal wisdom taught by all the great spiritual messengers throughout time and space. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Saved My Life
This book is basically a complete rewrite of everything you have ever learned about religion or spirituality. This author showed me that everything I believed and had been told about religion was very incomplete. I was interested in all religions and in mythology, and suspected there was a universal connection between them all, but this author is the only one to show definitively what that connection is.

I have been studying this book for over fifteen years (in previous editions).At first, I did not like it.I thought that the author was too intense, direct, even condemning.But somehow the message of the book kept coming up in my mind, and even though I put the book away (or threw it away) several times, I came back to it.Now, I find the author to be intensely compassionate, very clear and direct, and the best friend I have had.I say best friend because only those who are completely honest with us - painfully honest - are those who are truly concerned for our well-being.Few will tell us like it is.This book does that, and even though it took me a long time to realize it, (and even though at times I hated him for it) the author has done me more good than any person I have known. I have no doubt that had I continued behaving as I was before taking this teaching seriously, I would already be dead. My gratitude is immeasurable.

One key aspect of the wisdom emphasized in this book - and a likely cause for the intense derision it attracts - is the long suppressed fact that you do not need a church or a temple to know the divine personally.In fact, you do not need any group or "master" other than the one that resides within.I have long-suspected that to be true (and long suspected religions to be corrupted by greed and power) and from my own experience, based on the teachings in this book, I can affirm that the author is speaking the truth. It is sad that so many fearful people attack this author and his students, labeling them as a "cult" - when in fact this teaching is 100% anti-cult. In all the years I have been practicing the teachings presented by Samael Aun Weor, I have never had a "cult" experience, such as I had previously with many groups I will not name. On the contrary, the few Gnostic students I have met have been very intelligent, compassionate and grounded people.

This new edition from Thelema Press is beautiful. I have several editions by several publishers (all of the others are out of print).This is the best one of all, and I even saw it in a local bookstore.

5-0 out of 5 stars Gnosis & The Perfect Matrimony
Gnosis is the precise science to free the soul from suffering.Gnosis has been expressed in countless forms through all the world's major religions, and never has it been absent except in the eyes of its multiple interpretations and adulterations... otherwise, by the uninitiated.It is for this reason that religions have ceased to serve their purpose, which is to teach those souls longing for the Truth how to achieve the very purpose of their existence: the complete Self-Realization of the Being.

This timeless and sacred knowledge is Universal, and therefore it is not limited to any sphere of conceptual theory or belief.It is direct experiential knowledge, that one acquires through oneself, which is not a matter of believing or "imagining," but of performing the necessary works."Know the Truth, and the Truth shall set you free."

This book is the complete unveiling of the Key to unlocking the greatest of these Mysteries, and because of its audicity to detail the most controversial of all issues, the Mysteries of Sex, it has been highly contentious to many individuals who consider the sexual act purely as an animal function while ignoring its Divine Purpose.Therefore, after its first publication in 1950, the Catholic Church sought to have the author arrested... and they succeeded.However, this book sprouted the universal Gnostic Movement, inspiring millions to work towards the Self-Realization of the Being... as well as re-establishing the long lost heritage of the Gnostic Church on the face of the earth.

Within this book is the precise Science that the Soul must harness in order to reunite with the Divinity, Which has been portrayed by countless religions, all in diverse forms.Many Masters have incarnated The Christ, Which is not individual, but Universal Cosmic Entity: Jesus, Krishna, Buddha, Moses, Abraham, Isaac, etc., etc.The Christ is One and yet Many, which is why it is said, "For all are one in Christ Jesus." (For Yeshua means Saviour).

From the Author himself: "We have written this book with broad clarity, we have unveiled what was veiled. Now, whosoever wants to Self-realize in depth can rightly do so.Behold, here is the guide, here is the complete teaching.

"We aspire towards only one thing, only one goal, only one objective: Christification.

"It is necessary for each human being to Christify himself.It is necessary to incarnate the Christ.

"In this book we have lifted the veil of the Christic Mysteries.We have explained what the Christ-principle is.We have invited all human beings to follow the Path of the Perfect Matrimony in order to attain Christification."

2-0 out of 5 stars Followers are not very Light
While this book may contain a few tidbits of wisdom, I have to notice that some of the positive reviewers (like P.valois) who give 5 stars to everything that Weor writes, also seem to give 1 star reviews and disparaging comments to anything written on the same subject by anyone else that they can find on Amazon. I see these name over and over. This seems to me dishonest and not a path followed by people truly looking for Light, but those who which to lead others to a particular path. I would suggest looking for a variety of books on Tantra other than this one for an honest comparison. Tyson, Fortune, Frater U:.D:., and (perhaps) Crowley are several that come to mind with contrasting viewpoints to Weor.

4-0 out of 5 stars Absolutism?
Most reviews for this author are written by followers. I always find it hard to swallow the 'fantasy' that so many people dream up. I have no problem with the reality I live in, so find alleged dimensions all very fanciful and extremely delusional. If you can put aside the dross and learn from the sections based in reality, then this is a good book for a unique perspective, which should only ever enhance the rationale of your thinking. As all zealots are prone to doing, our author declares his way the only way and no doubt his poor deluded followers will claim that I will be subject to all sorts of terrors in alternative hells or heavens depending on the level of your madness. Ask any crank about 'jin' states or aliens and the insanity states with fever. If you can accept the fact that bad things happen because of our own actions or inactions, then no delusions of reality are required. Get this book as a tool to open the door to great sex and love with your partner. I believe there are many sections of great virtue to the astute reader. I would say the same of the bible. All of this authors works can be downloaded for free over the internet in pdf format.

3-0 out of 5 stars From other point
There is one main idea in this book and everything is done to sustain it. However a man accepts it or not, evidentiary objectivity makes him to impeach. This book could be a draft from which you begin to make book ready for publishing, or a treatment from which you make a script.

Review viewers and potential readers, you should know what people who prints all Samael Aun Weor books encouraged followers to make every man familiar with SAW writings and to write good reviews to atract people.

Product Description

"We are now going to penetrate into the most profound caverns of the Earth in order to extract its most terrific secrets..." (Samael Aun Weor)

All of the great Prophets and Avatars performed great feats in their effort to assist humanity. This book is a practical guide to follow in their footsteps. All those who aspire to incarnate the Christ (also known as Avalokitesvara, Vishnu, Quetzalcoatl, etc.) must first know how to work consciously with the forces of nature. Samael Aun Weor provides detailed information about the Elementals of nature, the awakening of the Kundalini of the Mental Body, and the development and perfection of Clairvoyance. Although Igneous Rose was written as a companion volume to the famous Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, this volume stands alone in the depth of its mysticism and the urgent call to action it sounds.

"If you want to progress in Nirvana, then you must sacrifice yourself for humanity. My brother, you must become a Bodhisattva of Compassion." (Samael Aun Weor)

Chapters include: A Queen of the Fire; The Arhat's Seven Candlesticks; The Pumpkin Gourd; The Guardian of the Mind; The Chalice; The Apple Tree; The Body of Liberation; The Mother Goddess of the World; The Cedar; The Bamboo Reed; The Prophet Elijah; The Pine and the Mind; The Lord Jehovah; Magic of the Pomegranate Tree, of the Orange Tree, of Spikenard, of Saffron, of Cinnamon, of Frankincense, of Myrrh, of the Aloe, of the Storax Tree, of Mint, and of the Fig Tree; The Mind and Sexuality; Esoteric Discipline of the Mind; The Arhat's Cross; The Woman; The Lion of the Law; Jezebel's Table; The Crown Chakra; The Seven Igneous Roses of the Reed; The Reed of Your Mental Body; Diviners and Prophets; The Tree of the Science of Good and Evil; Clairvoyance; The First Holy Chamber of the Root of the Nose; The Ardent Way; The Creative Larynx; The Seven Centers of the Heart; Dreams and Astral Experiences

5-0 out of 5 stars Really the Last Prophet
This rare book details Aleister Crowley's ascension as the prophet of a new Aeon, the Aeon of Horus. Out of all the Aleister Crowley books in mass market format, this stood out in memory years after I read it as one of Crowley's most disturbing works. In fact, I questioned my new faith in Crowley's religion Thelema reading this book; this was for real and not a joke. After contemplating, I thought it would be worth it stick with this because witchcraft is now a cool thing amongst today's youth and Crowley was a famous early form of witchcraft as we know it today. This is serious stuff, I wouldn't mess around with this unless you are interested in the occult. It should be noted that real life ritual magick as described in these type of works really do work; I did a ritual from Necronomicon and Lesser Key of Solomon to help with a college Astronomy course- I got a respectable C grade when I close to failing with a D-. But be prepared for some harassment aboyt alleged satanism.

5-0 out of 5 stars The advent of the Beast
"The Heart of the Master" begins with a vision of blood and terror.This is the way Crowley always imagined the New Aeon would arrive, since it involves a radical shift in human consciousness.Form this terror, the Great Beast is taken into the halls of the Great White Brotherhood and takes his place among the other Avatars from all Aeons past.

This work is among the more readable Class A (inspired) documents.The flow from one passage to the next is more logical than some of the more ponderous tomes such as the Book of the Heart Girt Round by the Serpent.This is because it basically celebrates Crowley's rise to power as the head of the O.T.O.

The edition includes a fanciful tale of this ascention, and an illustrated meditiation on each of the Trumps of the Thoth Tarot. A very good work of Crowley's, presented with historical context by the editior. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars "My Return to Tibet"...
...I remember back in the day when I first came to Gnosis, I had only read The Great Rebellion and attended a number of lectures when I was given a homemade-handbound copy of this book...

...My God, what profound knowledge...it was like a lightening bolt which I only saw but didn't even know hit me!

...Immediatley I knew that this is someone not to mess around with, his utter dedication to reveal great and mysterious truths about the cosmos, the human being, science and nature......I was dumbfounded when learning about Sacred Time and Space, Egyptian and Tibetan secret knowledge and about the real intentions about UFO's (so contrary to Hollywood propaganda) and so much more...


- It is still quite shocking to me; the content of this special book.This is probably Samael's most important and enigmatic Scientific/Mystical text.Although I still after years don't quite get a lot of it!

It's definetely to be appreciated in study and meditation. ... Read more

2-0 out of 5 stars Visit your local shaman instead!
I purchased this book based on all the excellent reviews and commentaries of previous readers.I am not, nor do I profess to be, by any stretch, an authority or student of Gnostic teachings--however, I do have a great interest in the subject matter and have been an avid reader/follower of Metaphysical and Occult works for well over a decade.

My primary objective in reading "Occult Medicine & Practical Magic" was to undertsand how plants and their range ofenergies/vibrations interfaced with human healing and how I might apply that wisdom in aiding some of my own health issues.

Instead, I found the book's contents in these specific areas not only archaic but hugely impractical.Many of the formulas/concoctions are so esoteric in nature that only a gifted Shaman would be able to assist in the preparation and application of them.

Additionally, the Chapters on the"Introduction To Occult Medicines" were so heavily mired in religious and egotistical bias/judgement/rhetoric that I found it's overall content disappointing at best.

There were some gems of enlightened information such as Forklore From The Sierra Nevada.

Gleanings throughout the book however, were much harder to digest--for instance, the heading entitled Teaching's of Jesus, took on the usual 'literal' Biblical interpretation (i.e. Jesus' Mantra to raise the dead!)

I found it rather interesting that with all of Mr. Aun Weor's supreme levels of Initiation that he wasn't able to render the alleogrical meaning (astrological and psychological) of that famous Biblical parable.

If the reader is considering this book based on an interest of healing by way of plants, I'd strongly recommend the herbal classic "Back To Eden" by Jethro Kloss, for afraction of this book's price tag.Also, "Plant Spirit Medicine" by Eliot Cowan.For those of you seeking rich, albeit palpable Occult/spiritual/ metaphysical guidance, log on to [...].

For those readers so inclined to undercover and investigate in-depth instruction on Magic, "Occult Medicine & Practical Magic" may prove of benefit.

5-0 out of 5 stars Eye Opening
Wow was all I could say.A spiritual healer's almanac if there ever was one. The commentary concerning the astral plane and what really happens after death was very interesting and sheds light on the different spiritual parts of an individual which leave the personality behind toroam the earth like a phantom.This resolved many of my questions concerning the bible's after-death idiosyncracies.Who would of thought that some health problems have spiritual origins that can't be treated by modern medicine?I used the practice for passionflower tea to help me treat depression where other things have failed.A must have.

5-0 out of 5 stars Healing the sick

This book contains many methods to help the sick.

There is a large section on elemental therapy (working with the spirits of the plants) with many beautiful photographs and illustrations of these plants.

There are many prayers, mantras and invocations included in this book. These have healed many sick people I have worked with, including those who did not have a good prognosis given by their medical doctors. Prayers, mantras and invocations are most helpful when said with complete faith.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent alternative point of view
An excellent guide for those of us that are searching....Mr. Aun Weor brings up some excellent points, as well as illuminating various hidden details of the world around us. I have proven to myself (experimentally) at least some of his claims, which lends credibility to both his intent and his methods. I would highly recommend his works for those researching "that which is hidden".

FORWARD TO THE READER:

"This book has been delivered as a 1977-1978 Christmas Message.

"This Message was proofed by the author, who later added many formulae of High Magic, Theurgy, Occult Botany, Thaumaturgy, Elementotherapy, Esoteric Medicine, Nahualism, etc.

"In reality, we truly have written this book for individuals who are presently weary of the many pseudo-occulist and pseudo-esoteric theories. It is written for those who want to enter into the internal worlds immediately. It is written for those who now yearn to enter into the laboratorium of Nature.

"Certainly, it is very painful for us to see people wasting their time miserably. We want practical magicians, true occultists and not simple charlatans. Authentic Gnostic physicians are needed, true magicians and botanists, practical people in medicine and magical matters."
-THE AUTHOR, 1977

In reference to his wife Litelantes:

"This female Adept possesses continuous consciousness, and through innumerable reincarnations, has succeeded in revitilizing and training certain occult faculties that, among other things, permit her to remember her past lives and the history of the planet and its races. On her own, she investigated and discovered the Jinn states mentioned by Mr. Mario Roso de Luna and Arnold Krumm-Heller. She collaborated with Master Aun Weor in the scientific investigation of the vegetable elementals mentioned in "A Treatise on Occult Medicine"...

"This powerful seer has all the wisdom of the centuries in her mind and with her clairvoyant faculties, has collaborated with Master Aun Weor, studying the various divisions of elementals in Nature."
-SAMAEL (in the third person)

Product Description
A beautiful and powerful introduction to the practical psychological foundations of Gnosis. Also includes a transcribed lecture by the author. Illustrated, index. Quote: "Life is an absurd succession of fleeting and vain desires. When we profoundly comprehend that all the desires in life are fleeting and vain, when we understand that the physical body is engendered in sin and that its destiny is to rot in the grave, then true peace of the mind is born from that profound comprehension. Contradiction and conflict disappears. Only the mind that is in peace can solve problems. Peace rests in the silence of the mind." ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars great book to start learning about ourself
This book is simple to read, and is a great introduction to the profound mystical teachings- the science of the soul, the key to the mysteries of the universe. Study it well, in a practical way, and see the transformation within.

5-0 out of 5 stars Practical advice
This book is a preview of the teachings of Samael Aun Weor. It quickly gives information that is pertinent to our lives and can be implemented by anyone. After reading it, you will find yourself wanting to know more.

5-0 out of 5 stars Perfect for anyone.
Gnosis is a Greek word for 'direct, experiential knowledge'.This is a loving and very powerful introduction to the study and practise of Gnosis.

The book is divided into nine short lessons, each of which includes an invigorating daily practise as a conclusion.Some of the lessons include "The Power of Thought", "The Law of Karma", "Money", "Mental Action", "Meditation and Intoxication", and "Death'.

These lessons are clear and moving; they are about modern life here and now, without any ambiguous spiritual chatter at all.

To share, here is the opening paragraph from Lesson One:

"It is necessary to be successful in life.If you want to be successful, you should begin by being sincere with yourself: recognize your own errors.When we recognize our errors we are on the path to correcting them.Everyone who corrects his own errors is inevitably successful.The businessman who daily blames others for his own failures and never recognizes his own errors will not be successful.Remember that the greatest criminals consider themselves to be saints.If we visit a penitentiary we will prove to ourselves that none of the criminals consider themselves guilty.Almost all of them say to themselves, "I am innocent."Don't make the same mistake.Have the courage to recognize your own errors.Thus will you escape greater evils."

This chapter (which is a few paragraphs longer), ends with a simple exericse called "An exercise to control your anger".

I hope you enjoy this book.

5-0 out of 5 stars More than an introduction!

Book Description
Crowley's life and thought are inexorably linked with 'The Book of the Law.' He received this visionary work by direct-voice dictation in Cairo in 1904. As an intelligent sceptic, he first found this improbable means of communication difficult to accept. Yet he could not ignore it or its message. He worked for decades to interpret its meaning for initiates and the general public. Eventually he entrusted the task to his best friend, Louis Wilkinson who possessed impressive literary qualifications. The result of his work, completed and augmented by Frater Superior Hymenaeus Beta of the O.T.O., is this long-awaited authorized popular edition of Crowley's "new commentary" on 'The Book of the Law' and its first appearance as Crowley wished it. ...

3-0 out of 5 stars Three stars are not enough
This is it. The One that puts it All together. Every religion is One who is distinctly sepparately apart. The Bees Knees to the subjective fart.

5-0 out of 5 stars In More Plain Terms
This book is simply a collection of commentaries by Crowley himself on the meanings of each line to The Book of the Law. This proves useful to newbies when you are first taking the steps necessary to become a Thelemite, namely accepting The Book of the Law as your way of life. At first I got the basics that it was occult oriented and possibly a satanic philosophy as told through eloquent prose. You have to decide if this is right for you and that you want to do this.

3-0 out of 5 stars Oh for the Old Days!
This book is one of the better commentaries on the Book of the Law. Unfortunately it lacks much of the material found in the long out of print Magical and Philosophical Commenetaries on the Book of the Law ed Symonds and Grant 1975 and this new editionlacks the charm of the previous publication by New Falcon Press edited by Dr Israel Regardie. Unfortunately this is to be expected as we have fewer people who actually knew Crowley around to edit his books for us. However the new attempt by Mr Gary Breeze (frater ha) is a good jobbing introduction for the beginner.

5-0 out of 5 stars Must have along with The Book of the Law
This is a must have to understand The Book of the Law.This book has given me a new outlook on life.It has helped me change my thinking for the better and has helped me find my path.I highly reccommend reading this over and over again if you have read The Book of the Law.Something is sure to appeal to you. I am sure if you open yourself to the words in this book that it will do you a great deal of good.I only wish this was as popular as the bible is today. Maybe if it was more well known the world would truely be heaven on earth.

5-0 out of 5 stars Be Careful: but still lots of enlightening fun ...
When I first read the Israel Regardie edition of THE LAW IS FOR ALL, my mind was essentially exploding in every direction. I was relatively inexperienced with reading (what were to me) such exciting pyrotechnics.

However, this stuff can be a little TOO exciting. One can't guarantee what such things do to an average mind -and life- like mine was (is ?) Just like one can have initial disasters from playing around with Tarot cards, or magick and occultism in general, read Aleister Crowley with caution! (I.e., W E Butler writes in his book 'The Magician,' that those interested in studying magic read rather alot of other books first (he gives a list.) Then he asserts, one may be able to "deal selectively" with Crowley's writings.

Take it from one who has been reading Crowley for 20-plus years: Butler's is good advice !!! Israel Regardie, Dion Fortune, Franz Hartmann and others are to be recommended before soaking oneself in too much Crowley, too quickly.

In any event, I suspect this volume to be rather sanitized, if it is as edited as people say. Fortunately, much of it can be read online, from another edition. And it is still useful and convenient to have some of the Commentary in this bound form.

What I personally did, was get a hold of a copy of a larger edition of the same material, edited by Kenneth Grant and John Symonds. I photocopied this rare (hardcover)edition from a friend, and added the missing pages from my Regardie edition of 'Law is for All', as published by Falcon Press in the early 80s. I might recommend that those interested, do the same, if they can, to make sure they get as much of the Commentary as might be authentic. ... Read more

Product Description

This edition compiles together three related books: Logos Mantra Theurgy, The Esoteric Treatise of Theurgy, and The Seven Words. In this collection, Samael Aun Weor reveals the secrets of the mysterious, ancient science known as Theurgy.Theurgy is the science of consciously influencing nature according to Divine Guidanceand by the power of the Logos: the Word.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (The Holy Bible - Christian)

"I (Osiris) brought my own name into my mouth as a Word of Power, and I forthwith came into being under the form of things which are and under the form of Khepera (Creator). (The Book of Knowing the Evolutions of Ra, and of Overthrowing Apep - Egyptian)

"In a year he (Prajapati) desired to speak. He utteredbhurbhuva svar .Bhurwhich means earth;bhuvawhich became figment andsvarwhich became the sky... with his mouth he created the gods." (The Satapatha Brahmana - Hindu)

"This is the beginning of the ancient Word... the potential and source for everything done." (The Popol Vuh - Mayan)

Theurgy is the profound wisdom perfected by the Magi (Priest-Kings), also known as white magic.The clues given in this book give anyone the opportunity to discover through personal experience the ancient mysticism of the sagacious elect of all cultures. Includes sacred words (mantras) for astral projection, protection from dark forces, practices for the discovery and exploration of the internal worlds, mystic healing, invocation of Masters and Divine Intelligences, and working with nature spirits and elementals. The author provides a safe introduction to the mystical sciences that have been so misunderstood in our times.

Product Description
"It came to pass, when Jesus had risen from the dead, that he passed eleven years discoursing with his disciples, and instructing them..."The Pistis Sophia Unveiled represents the ascensional goal of Gnostic Wisdom. Not only does it contain the written message of Jesus of Nazareth (the great teacher of the previous era of Pisces) but also contains a detailed commentary written by Samael Aun Weor, the great teacher of the new Aquarian era. A quote from the author: "The Hebrew Bible clearly connotes the word of the Eternal One. However, we, the Gnostics, also have our very special Bible. I want to emphatically declare that this is The Pistis Sophia, whose original is in Coptic. It was found underground in Egypt, the land of the Pharaohs. "The Pistis Sophia contains all the words of the adorable Savior of the world. It was written by the Apostles. Thus, all the Esoteric-Christic instructions that Jesus Christ gave to his disciples on the Mount of the Olives and other holy places is written within this book. This book had been conserved in secret for many centuries. In this book, the Adorable One left an extraordinary, formidable body of doctrine."Within these pages, the reader will discover a form of wisdom which completely obliterates the speculations of scholars and intellectuals. Those who merely seek to compare these writings with what they have been told in the past will surely be disappointed. Here, you will find something completely new and without precedence in the theories and dogmas of men. Here, you will find the actual wisdom teachings of the Universal Cosmic Christ; that wisdom which has been expressed throughout all ages and times and which has given birth to every religion of the world. Here you will find the pure and complete knowledge which every soul requires in order to discover its true nature. The Pistis Sophia Unveiled is a message for all humankind, in every corner of the world. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Real and Practical Gnosticism, Not Theories
I find it interesting that every so often I hear people condemn Samael Aun Weor "claiming to be Gnostic when in reality he has nothing to do with Gnosticism." Well, here it is in this book, open for all to read, that these accusatory words fall wayside upon the gigantic wisdom presented on the pages of this book.

Many people today like the ideas of the Demiurge, Sophia, the Archons and Aeons, Judas, etc. Yet, those who interpret these ideas today do so as they have interpreted all the other religious ideas, and they do so ignorantly, because - as sincere as they may be - they have no gnosis. These "Gnostics" reject the very thing the think they are looking for.

Acquiring gnosis is not a subjective whimsical thing as many believe, it is an exact and profound science, and if you do not know the methods, then you will be forever lost in the outer darkness.

In here, we discover the true Gnostic doctrine for the public to read. I invite you to do so! Yet, if you do not comprehend the statements in the book, read simpler books such as Revolutionary Psychology and The Great Rebellion: Gnostic Psychology and the Path to Liberation from Suffering.

5-0 out of 5 stars Gnosis: The Hidden Science
The Pistis Sophia Unveiled was written from the direct experiences of the author with the Master Jesus of Nazareth from within the Internal Worlds.In it, Samael Aun Weor has unveiled the profound Alchemical and Kabbalistic teachings of the Holy Master from Gallilee, which have eluded scholars and religious practitioners for years.This is because this body of knowledge cannot be grasped solely through the intellect, but is a matter of direct experience, independant of opinions, dogma, theories or beliefs.

The author has only unveiled two thirds of the Pistis Sophia in that serious practioners must come to realize these truths within themselves.It is a work for Initiates, or those who are "initiated" into this knowledge.This is not just a matter of believing, but is a matter of actually walking the Path and performing the necessary works."But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?" (James 2:20).The unveiled Pistis Sophia is really just that, guidance for those souls who are performing the Work.

Much of what is taught in the Pistis Sophia is never said, because it must be lived in oneself.As with Kabbalah (from Hebrew - kabbal: to recieve) the real depth of this knowledge is recieved through experience, according to the capacity within each practioner.Therefore, this knowledge can only be accessed through much patience, meditation, and psychological work upon oneself.

5-0 out of 5 stars Prepare thyself before this venture...
They say that this book (AunWeor's last, as well as unfinished) is the culmination of his life's work and profound wisdom.

All I should say about this book, is that one should prepare oneself before reading this book...I would recommend becoming deeply familiar with the language of the Old and New Testaments first.

As well, it would also help to learn a little more about the Gnosis left by Samael through his website www.gnosis-usa.com and through his many other texts.

Holding this book in your hands is like experiencing life and death at the same time, it's like experiencing an unravelling mystery.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Finest Gnostic Text Ever Written UNVEILED!
The Pistis Sophia has been a highly misunderstood text ever since it's discovery.Many intellectuals, pseudo-theologists and historians like to attach their own meaning based upon information that they gather from their five senses.
This book, The Pistis Sophia UNVEILED, has commentary by the greatest Spiritual Master of our times, the Gnostic Master Samael Aun Weor.The commentary and text alike are 100% Kabbalistic and Alchemical.It can only be understood in the light of Gnostic Kabbalah.
This book was written by the witnesses of the teachings of Jesus Christ after His resurrection.Obviously, Master Samael is able to explain this work and His teachings for our times.
A must read!But recommended to read it with the other books of Master Samael Aun Weor. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A short masterpiece
This books was created from Master Samael's lectures on the subject of awareness and dream yoga. The book, though short is packed with so much information. Information that you can start 'practicing' as soon as you finish the first chapter. I have been practicing the key SOL for some time now so after reading the first few chapters I put the information to good work and have been able to achieve astral experiences in the short time I have owned the book. The book is good for beginners but they might have to explore some of Samael's other writings and gnostic information in general to get the full 'knowledge' from the writing. Overall straight forward and a great read, also highly recommend the 'Yellow Book' by Weor to compliment the practice of Kundalini Yoga.

5-0 out of 5 stars No word to describe its value
This book is for those who want to learn to become awake in the internal worlds.
Follow the exercises and experience for yourself. It will take a lot of practice and patience, and is well worth your effort!

5-0 out of 5 stars Simple, Practical, and Possible
Dream Yoga is short, simple, and practical.It provides methods that any sincere student and seeker can utilize in order to experience vividly, for themselves, the great reality of the Astral Plane.

I've been familiar with the Astral for a long time.However, I'm really just an exception, because most of humanity still doesn't understand that we exist in many dimensions.We only percieve this three dimensional world with the five senses, even though there is much more.If you look at the snail, you understand that it percieves one-dimensionally through sensations.The dog percieves two-dimensionally.And yet, both these animals exist within the three-dimensional plane.We know this because we have the faculties to proove it.However, these animals don't.This is the same case with higher dimensions, like the Astral Plane.There exist beings who understand that we are like the snail and the dog, without the faculties to percieve higher dimensions.

When human beings dream at night, what really happens is that we leave our physical bodies.Most people aren't aware of this because it takes a certain discipline in order to awaken the Conciousness, in order to live and breathe in those dimensions just as we do here.A person who is awakened is always aware, 24/7.In the day they are like any normal person.They have a job, kids, and a marriage.What makes them exceptional is while the rest of humanity is unconcious of where it goes at night, the awakened individual knows.He has Concious Will.He canstudy all the Great Mysteries of the Cosmos, speak to Self-Realized Beings, visit wonderful places, etc. (because there are less laws, including the absence of gravity, you can fly to places).

All of this is very possible.Any individual can experience the Astral.It simply takes interest, effort, and discipline.The book Dream Yoga offers such a discipline, including practices that will help one get started.It's also an excellent reference for advanced students.

5-0 out of 5 stars Lucid dreaming
This is a good introduction to lucid dreaming/astral projection. The approach given is very similar to Tibetan dream yoga, which is somewhat different from western lucid dreaming. The latter puts a scientific spin on dream travel and consists of induction techniques and self-suggestion exercises. This book, however, presents lucid dreaming in a more spiritual way: as a means of exploring superior worlds in higher dimensions.

3-0 out of 5 stars Gnostic teacher discusses dream techniques
I was not familiar with Samael Aun Weor before reading this book. He is described on the cover as a "Gnostic Master" and the founder of the International Gnostic Movement. He is the author of a very large number of books on esoteric subjects. Dream Yoga seems to be mainly aimed at people who are familiar with his teachings and terminology. For someone new to his rather idiosyncratic point of view, such as myself, the book is quite difficult and sometimes confusing. The book is quite short, 108 pages, and 30 of these pages are a dictionary of dream symbols.

Weor is definitely one of those occult teachers with his own system. He draws on many different traditions --mainly Eastern religions such as Tibetan and Tantric, but also Kabbala, Christian and Mayan. I found this radical eclecticism a little disconcerting, especially considering the dogmatic tone of the book. There is no attempt to explain how these traditions are connected and many of the terms, such as obscure (to most readers) god and goddess names, are never defined. He never, for example, explains how these many traditions are united under the banner of Gnosticism, which was originally a Christian sect (albeit one deemed heretical). I am not saying that all of these ideas cannot be synthesized, only that the reader deserves a little more explanation than is provided here. When I say Weor is dogmatic, I mean that he has a rigid idea of what is right and wrong. Although he claims that"Gnosticism is not against any religion, school, order or sect," he frequently refers to ideas that contradict his own as "pseudo-esotericism" and "pseudo-occultism." In one place he refers to those who differ on some rather obscure point as "imbecile ignoramuses." He also makes a statement that will surely offend gay people, who he sees as symptomatic of "this perverse, corrupted and doomed Aryan civilization." I am quoting some of this to give potential readers an idea of what they are in for if they choose to read this book.

Despite all of these criticisms, I don't doubt that Weor possesses some genuine knowledge and that many of the techniques given in this book can be quite useful. He points out, for example, that to master being awake in dreams, you must work on being conscious while awake. This idea is not unique to this author, but it is a valuable piece of advice. I would recommend this book mainly to readers who are already familiar with Weor's system or who are interested in following the Gnostic path (which is rather ascetic and mystical, at least as Weor interprets it). It also makes a good addition to a collection of books on dreaming. If you are a beginner to dream studies, however, you would probably do better with a more basic and less jargon-filled book. ...

Product Description
An essential book for beginning Gnostic students, The Great Rebellion expresses in powerful strokes the essence of the Gnostic teaching. A quote from the text: All in all, in this cruel world in which we live there are no happy people... All the unfortunate human beings are unhappy. In life we have met many individuals who are loaded with money and full of problems: they are involved in lawsuits, overtaxed, etc. They are not happy. Everything passes in this life: things, people, ideas, etc. Those who have money and those who have none also pass away. Nobody experiences genuine happiness! Happiness is not achieved by running away from the Me, Myself, the Ego. Instead it would be interesting to grab the bull by the horns, to observe the "I," to study the "I" in order to discover the causes of suffering. If we manage to eliminate our Me, Myself, our "I" of drinking sprees, our "I" of vices and our "I" of attachments that cause so much heartfelt sorrow in us; if we manage to eliminate those worries that torment our minds and make us ill etc., then clearly what arrives is that which is timeless, that which is beyond the body, that which is beyond attachments and beyond the mind, that which is truly beyond our comprehension and is called happiness! ...

The Great Rebellion was the second book by Samael Aun Weor that I was introduced to (the first being 'Revolutionary Psychology').

This is without doubt a most profound and revealing book, and has changed not only myself but the community around me for the better.

Not many books can do that in this age.

Peace be with you.

This book is antisemitic. It quotes uncritically from the infamous forgery, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and states such absurdities that Karl Marx 'was a fanatically religious jew' who preached atheism as preferable to any religion other than Judaism!
I have long believed that anti-semitism is a sure pointer to the malign (diabolic?) source of the teachings of which they are a part.

5-0 out of 5 stars Know thyself and you shall know the universe and its Gods!
The Great Rebellion is that action when successfully lived, produces something beyond good and evil.

The Great Rebellion occurs when a person who, with infinite yearning for Truth, breaks the shackles of degenerate social norms and finds authentic individuality.

The Great Rebellion is Buddhist Annihilation at its very depth. Jesus stated it himself, "deny yourself..."

This is a book so profound that rarely (if ever) can one find all the levels of meaning. Entire paragraphs of information are written in a single sentence. Entire chapters are written in entirely one sentence paragraphs. Do not be fooled with the number of pages, this book's synthesis is so comprehensive that it can often be misunderstood.

Any aspirant of knowledge will read this book with awe. Unconditionally recommended to those looking for something but do not yet know what.

5-0 out of 5 stars I come not to bring peace unto the Earth...!
I must follow suit and award this book with 5 stars. For what it is (a summary), this book is without rival. It is short, but no less life-shattering because of it, and it is beautifully written. I would so love to lend it to some of my Christian friends, those of the Intermediate Mind, the place where belief, sometimes fanatical, substitutes for Faith, the kind of Faith of the true gnostic.

I am no better. I am divided "I"s, a puppet of the subterranean beasts of a fragmented self. This book is a scary one, just as many of Christ's proclamations are truly terrible when not white-washed. It's a long way along the razors edge, God help us all, but facing the darkness must be the beginning.

No matter where my reading and exploring take me, I am most forcibly struck by the same teachings. We must be lamps unto ourselves. We must forfiet our lives to gain life. First, as outlined here by Samael, we must shine light into our darkest recesses and see that we are projecting the denied parts of ourselves out into the world and onto others. And we cannot simply sever these unsavory parts of ourselves with the knife of intellectual analysis. They must be given up to the purifying Fire of the Red Christ, and this can only be done when we truly come to know and accept these things.

I'm unclear on some of Samael's symbolism, especially in regards to the Kundalini and the Holy Grail. Many readers will likely decipher what I did not, so don't be detered.

I shan't reiterate more of the book here. Read it! Acknowledge your own stumbling in darkness, have hope, and be grateful that others have lit the way to rebirth, namely Jesus of Galilee.

5-0 out of 5 stars Rebellion for Liberation
The Great Rebellion is the perfect introduction into Gnosis: direct experential knowledge of the Mysteries of Life and Death.It is simple, practical, and absolutely point-blank.Nothing escapes the author.It's so honest that it's cruel, and so cruel that we don't want to believe it, because it reveals the truth of all our inner misery.

However, in order to escape prison, one must first realize that we are in a cell; and that cell is our own minds.

Truly, we are the only ones responsible for our own lives, yet we blame others, and even hate others.This is the sad truth of our psychological incarceration.The point of the Great Rebellion is to free ourselves from ourselves, from all our hidden prejudices and beliefs, and all the hidden causes of our sufferings in order to experience THAT which is the Truth, THAT which is beyond the body, the feelings, and the Mind.

This is the Conciousness, and this book is for the Revolution of the Conciousness.

However, it's necessary for people to understand that we are asleep --- psychologically speaking.Psyche is Greek for Soul, so true Psychology, Gnostic Psychology, is the study and awakening of the Soul.To awaken is to stop dreaming, to stop living in delusions.To awaken the Conciousness is to realize that the "I", Myself is an illusion, that we were living in illusions, and that there is a solution, a way out of psychological suffering.However, we really need to understand that we are asleep.

This is the book that will help get you started. ... Read more
