Preface

The Kabbalah is the science of numbers.

The author of the Tarot was the Angel Metatron. He is Lord of the serpent wisdom. The Bible refers to him as the Prophet Enoch.

The Angel Metatron, or Enoch, delivered the Tarot, in which the entirety of divine wisdom is enclosed. The Tarot remains written in stone.

He also left us the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet.

This great Master lives in the Superior Worlds, in the world of Atziluth, which is a world of indescribable happiness. According to the Kabbalah, this world is the region of Kether, a very high Sephirah. All Kabbalists base themselves on the Tarot and it is necessary for them to comprehend the Tarot and study it deeply. The universe was made with the laws of numbers, measurements, and weight. Mathematics forms the universe, and the numbers become living entities. - Samael Aun Weor, Tarot and Kabbalah

Adorable and immortal Beings,

Greetings and adorations,

Beloved disciples,

There are two types of Kabbalists: intellectual Kabbalists and intuitive Kabbalists. The intellectual Kabbalists are Black Magicians, whilst the intuitive Kabbalists are White Magicians.

Many times the sidereal Gods answer our questions by showing us a Tarot card; we must intuitively comprehend the answer that is given onto us. Intuitive Kabbalists comprehend what destiny held in reserve to them by just seeing any card of the Tarot.

Gnostic Kabbalah is the doctrine of practical Christification. We do not theorize here. This is a one hundred percent practical work. Many students long for their Christification but they do not know where to start, because they do not know the clue, the secret.

Here we give away the clue, the secret, the key, to every student. Here is the clue, thirsty lovers of the truth: now practice.

You are not alone. We love you profoundly; thus when you tread on the path of the razors edge, you will be internally assisted by the brothers and sisters of the temple.

In this course we deliver the clue of resurrection. We have torn the veil of the sanctuary. Here you have all the secrets; here are all the clues of Christification. Here is written the doctrine that the Adorable taught in secret to his humble disciples.

The Adorable One will remain with us until the end of times. This is his doctrine. Here you have it: study it and practice it.

This symbolic laboratory of an initiate hides the entire knowledge of Alchemy, especially in the vessels at the lower right, whose shapes reveal their secret. Above the mantel is inscribed Laboratorium (Latin labor and oratorium) indicating that Alchemy is practiced in a place of work and prayer. Above the doorway in the center is written, Dormiens vigila: be watchful even during the hours of sleep. [Engraving by Heinrich Khunrath, 1602]

Introduction

Children of man, do you want to enter into the ineffable joy of nirvana?

Do you want to become as Gods? Do you want to convert yourselves into Christs?

Do you want to liberate yourselves from the wheel of birth and death?

Here we will give you the clue of sexual magic! What else do you want?

Let us start seeing the existing relationship of the ten Sephiroth with the first ten cards of the Tarot.

The seven planets of the solar system are the seven Sephiroth, and the Thrice-spiritual Sun is the Sephirothic Crown.

These Sephiroth live and palpitate within our consciousness, and we must learn to manipulate and combine them in the marvelous laboratory of our interior universe.

The Ten Sephiroth are:

Kether Crown; the equilibrated power; the magician, the First Arcanum of the Tarot whose primeval hieroglyph is represented by a man.

Chokmah Wisdom; the Popess of the Tarot; occult wisdom, the Priestess. The second card of the Tarot; the moon; the primeval hieroglyph is represented by the mouth of man.

Binah Intelligence; the planet Venus; third card of the Tarot, the Empress, primeval hieroglyph is represented by a hand in the attitude of grasping.

These three Sephiroth are the Sephirothic Crown.

The seven inferior Sephiroth come in the following order:

Chesed Mercy; Jupiter, the Divine Being, Atman, whose primeval hieroglyph is represented by a breast. The fourth card of the Tarot, the Emperor.

Geburah Severity; the Buddhic body of the Man, the Pope or the Hierophant of the Tarot, Mars, the warrior of Aries.

Tiphereth Beauty, Venus of Taurus, love of the Holy Spirit, the Causal Body of the Man, the sixth card of the Tarot, the Lover.

Netzach Victory, Justice of the Arcanum, the seventh card of the Tarot, the chariot, Saturn.

Hod Glory, Mercury of Gemini, the eighth card of the Tarot, the Eternity of all.

Yesod Foundation, the Sun of Leo, the ninth card of the Tarot. The Hermit, the Absolute.

Malkuth Kingdom, the entire universe, Mary or Virgo, Nature.

These ten Sephiroth live within our Being and are our inner solar system. The Tarot is intimately related with esoteric Astrology and with initiation.

Arcanum 10: First hour of Apollonius. Transcendental study of occultism.

Arcanum 11: Second hour of Apollonius. The strength; the abysses of fire; the astral virtues form a circle through the dragons and fire. Study of the occult forces.

Arcanum 12: Third hour of Apollonius. The serpents, the dogs and the fire; sexual Alchemy; Sexual Magic, work with the Kundalini.

Arcanum 13: Fourth hour of Apollonius. The neophyte will wander at night among the sepulchers, will experience the horror of visions, and will be submitted to magic and Goethia; this means that the disciple will be aware that he is being attacked by millions of black magicians within the astral plane; these tenebrous magicians attempt to drive the disciple away from the luminous Path.

Arcanum 14: Fifth hour of Apollonius. The two amphorae: divine and human magnetism; the superior waters of heaven. During this time the disciple learns to be pure and chaste because he comprehends the value of his seminal liquor).
