Dear readers, let us explore a theme that has fascinated philosophers and thinkers throughout history: continuous motion.
Many have wondered, since ancient times, whether it would be possible to create a machine that could work forever, without ever stopping. This relentless quest for "perpetual motion" has led to countless experiments and inventions, but, as we know, all of them failed due to the material and energetic limitations of the physical world. In the attempt to uncover the secret of this eternal motion, some even lost their sanity.
Samael Aun Weor, one of the most important esoteric masters of the 20th century, offers a profound vision of this phenomenon, going beyond the physical aspect and delving into the spiritual and cosmic realms. In his works, the author speaks of the "Wheel of Samsara," a concept central to Eastern spiritual traditions, but which can also be understood in light of universal wisdom.
According to Aun Weor, continuous motion refers not just to a material machine but to an eternal cycle that governs the existence of all things. The "Wheel of Samsara," as he describes it, is like a vast cosmic gear that turns incessantly, leading all human beings, without exception, through successive incarnations. In this view, there is no true freedom until one understands and transcends the cycles of birth and death, evolution and involution, which enslave us to the wheel of destiny.
The author speaks of a "cosmic gear," whose understanding goes beyond the boundaries of physics. The key to understanding this eternal cycle, according to Samael Aun Weor, lies in the Three Universal Forces, which he describes as the fundamental principles of creation. These forces are kept in perfect harmony by amber, a substance that symbolizes the cosmic and spiritual unity that permeates all existence. Amber, according to Aun Weor, is a universal substance that reflects the union of active and passive forces, creating the motion that sustains all creation.
This cosmic wheel spins without ceasing, with what he calls "residual elements" – the egos and imperfections accumulated over countless existences. Each of us carries these residues within, causing us to spin blindly and continuously in the wheel of life. When we realize this, we understand that our true goal is not to fight against the nature of this movement, but to transform it from within, overcoming our own egos.
Aun Weor's metaphor is clear: humanity is like being within a great cosmic cylinder, represented by the wheel of Samsara. This cylinder, which he associates with the figure of the Archangel Hariton, is made of symbolic and spiritual materials – amber, platinum, copper, and ivory – and its inner forces constantly turn, pulling us into a process of self-discovery, suffering, and spiritual evolution.
To achieve liberation from this eternal cycle, Samael Aun Weor teaches us that we must seek the intimate self-realization of the Being. He reminds us that evolution is not a linear and immutable process but something that, upon reaching a specific point, can involute if not consciously worked on. As he describes, we ascend, evolving spiritually, by the right side of the wheel, but if we do not attain true understanding and inner purification, we fall by the left side, involuting into the lower realms of nature.
In his philosophy, Aun Weor emphasizes that the human being is not merely a passive observer of this cosmic movement, but can become an active agent in the transformation of their own existence. When we understand the universal laws that govern motion, we can transcend the limitation of Samsara and achieve true spiritual freedom.
Therefore, the reflection on continuous motion leads us into a deep meditation on the cycle of life, death, and spiritual evolution. What Samael Aun Weor teaches us is that the secret does not lie in attempting to escape this motion, but in understanding its nature and, through inner work, achieving true self-realization. Only then can we break free from the vicious cycles that bind us to the eternal wheel and find true peace.
