The esoteric wisdom shared by masters like Samael Aun Weor provides a profound and mystical understanding of the nature of the cosmos and the Self.
In his lectures, Aun Weor guides us through an initiatory path where Fire is revealed as a key to understanding creation, human existence, and spiritual realization.
Fire is not just a physical element, but a divine principle, a cosmic force fundamental to the manifestation of the Universe and life. To understand the Wisdom of Fire, we must go beyond materialistic comprehension and delve into the hidden mysteries of the cosmos and our own being.
First, it is essential to understand the two fundamental aspects of existence: the Unmanifested and the Manifested. The Unmanifested is the absolute principle, "Adi-Buddha," or the Inconceivable, which cannot be grasped by the human mind. It represents pure essence, beyond time and matter. From it emanates everything that exists, including the Logos, the Demiurge, who is the Manifested Elohim, the cosmic intelligence responsible for the creation and maintenance of the Universe.
In this process of emanation, the Logos, or Elohim, unfolds into various forms and manifestations, such as the Fiery Intelligences or the Dhyanchohans, cosmic beings who govern and organize the forces of the Universe. They are called "Avalokitesvara," the Word of God, descending from spiritual heights to bridge the Infinite and the Finite.
The principle of Fire is crucial to understanding the origin of life and the cosmos. The fusion of Osiris and Isis, archetypal figures of the divine masculine and feminine, creates Fohat, the primordial energy that activates chaotic matter and makes life’s manifestation possible. This Fohat, in its fiery nature, unfolds into seven radicals, which are the energy centers that exist within each human being, and they are essential for our spiritual evolution.
These seven radicals are connected to the higher bodies of the human being. The first radical is the Fiery Serpent that rises up the spine of the physical body, activating the basic energies of life. The second radical ascends through the vital body, the third through the astral body, and so on, until the seventh, which reaches the pinnacle of spiritual consciousness. This process of ascension is true Spiritual Alchemy, an inner work that aims for the integration and perfection of each part of the self.
In his teachings, Samael Aun Weor reminds us that the spiritual journey is one of self-discovery and integration. Each of us carries within ourselves an army of spiritual forces, symbolized by the twelve powers or twelve apostles, corresponding to different aspects of our psyche and being. These powers must be awakened and perfected, one by one, for us to reach the Great Integration.
The integration of the seven fiery radicals and the reconquest of the Lost Inheritance are essential for spiritual ascent. When each aspect of the human being is perfected, we reach Ananda, divine happiness, the state of inner fullness and harmony. This process culminates in the Baptism of Fire, a profound spiritual transformation marking the end of one cycle of growth and the beginning of true inner mastery.
As spiritual alchemists, we are called to perform the inner work of transformation. Each of us must walk the path of fire, using the energy of our own being to ascend to our true nature. However, we must remember that this process is gradual and requires perseverance. The second radical cannot be activated until the first one is in motion, and the third cannot arise until the second has fully developed. There are seven steps on the ladder of Jacob, and those who reach the seventh step receive the Baptism of Fire, which is evident.
However, before all else, the Alchemist must deeply understand the work on oneself. It is necessary to work intensely if we wish to achieve the Intimate Self-Realization of the Being. We must truly know how to live, for only then can we work with the Seven Radicals of Fire.
Samael Aun Weor's teachings challenge us to look beyond the limitations of the physical world and seek the hidden wisdom that allows us to understand our true spiritual nature. The journey to Final Liberation is intimately connected to the awakening of the fiery energies within us, to the process of self-transformation, and to the integration of all parts of our being. Only then will we be able to achieve true divine happiness and spiritual mastery that connects us with the Cosmos and the Divine.
May we, therefore, move forward with courage and determination, for the Fire of Wisdom lies within us, waiting to be awakened and guided to our complete realization.
