Considerationes de vulnere (Considerations regarding the pentalpha and the five wounds) 850 480 V.M. Kwen Khan Khu

To begin trying to make a description of this very beautiful engraving, we have to remember, first of all, the man that Leonardo da Vinci drew in his time with his legs and arms open forming a Pentalpha to tell history that the REAL MAN is the Pentalpha-Man, in other words, the self-realized man.

This engraving, companions of the Path, clearly shows us that everything is duly planned by the most holy THEOMEGALOGOS from the beginning of creation. This is the reason why we are shown in Latin and Hebrew, through beautiful phrases, the cosmic architecture that, since ancient times, has been discussed with those disciples truly interested in knowing the anatomy of the divine.

This engraving, friends, is entitled at the top of it with these words: “STUDY IS THE CAUSE OF TRANQUILITY.”
However, Gnostically speaking, it would be better to entitle it “MEDITATION AND PRAYER ARE THE CAUSE OF TRANQUILITY.”

The Tree of the Sephiroth, Robert Fludd

Through Gnosis we have come to know, within the doctrinaire Kabbalah, what we Gnostics call the Sephirotic Tree represents to us, with all the unfoldments that emerge from it and that correspond to various most sacred parts of our Being.

This beautiful engraving appears before our eyes to show us the balance of dimensions and worlds in interstellar space. That is why it is called the “Weighing of the Worlds.” That is, it shows how the Architect of the Universe considers that the energies of the Cosmos are distributed, and does so through a scale that designates where the superior energies are and where the inferior ones are.

The Angel-Guardian’s Clock, Jeremías Drexel

Unquestionably, all of us who try to live the Secret Path that Gnosis teaches us, must be very clear about the immediate need to know how to pray, to know how to live and to know how to die.

It is with immense pleasure that I send you a Gnostic poem entitled The perfect mind. It was found among the Nag Hamadi manuscripts. The one who speaks in this poem is the divine SOPHIA, the soul that was sent from the AIN and that, having fallen, seeks to return to its origins.

Diplomacy is certainly a virtue that prevents the expression of pride, arrogance, anger, intolerance and self-love.

The present engraving, in addition to its beauty, reminds us of the archetypes linked to eternity that we find in the sacred scriptures of all times.

Mystical enthusiasm, VM Kwen Khan Khu

Mystical enthusiasm 850 480 V.M. Kwen Khan Khu

Mystical enthusiasm is a basic ingredient in the permanent search for the BEING.
It is such enthusiasm that opens to us the doors of ideas, superior archetypes, the COMPREHENSION of the Gnostic work and the corresponding continuity of purposes.

Dear readers, regardless of whether you want to see the goddess Diana associated in this engraving in the company of another deity, what does interest us in Gnosis is the relationship of the chaste Diana with our Divine Mother and the enormous work of hunting down our innumerable psychological aggregates that we carry in our psychic entrails.
