This precious engraving, dear readers, is a call that this Slovenian Adept has made to all seekers who continue to pretend that the Golden Fleece is a material object, forgetting that it refers to that most sacred part that we call in Gnosis the intimate Christ.

While time flees, they retain, apparently, the long-haired opportunity, Theodoor Galle

This engraving clearly speaks to us of the imperative need to seize the opportunity ─Occasio─ and retain it in order to take advantage of it, as the engraving shows us. Young people represent humanity in general when they become ─at least temporarily─ aware of knowing how to steal from time the opportunities that sometimes appear in the course of it.

V.M. Samael always insisted on the need to break with the implacable destiny that always leads us to stupidly comply with the mechanicity with which we are manipulated from existence to existence. This struggle is posed in the so-called Revolution of Consciousness, with its three factors that are well-defined in our doctrine…

This engraving was made by the Jesuit Ioanne David (1546─1613) and he developed it in the eighth chapter of his book entitled Dvodecim specvla Devm aliqvando videre desideranti concinnata.

Mirror of Purification

Dear readers, this engraving leads us to question our degrees of purity or purification during our journey through the three-dimensional world:

I am sending you the sixth drawing with which Theodor Galle illustrated the book ‘Twelve mirrors duly arranged for the person who wishes to see God one day’, written by the Jesuit Ioanne David.
The present engraving is entitled “Know thyself”.

The mirror that deceives, Theodoor Galle

“Specvlvm fallax” (The mirror that deceives)

I take the pen to send you some comments related to the profound importance of approaching the TECHNIQUE OF TRUE self-observation and our longings to live within reality and not within fantasies.

The key to hidden things, Guillaume Postel

“Absconditorum a constitutiones mundi clavis” (The key to hidden things) 850 480 V.M. Kwen Khan Khu

This engraving has a very profound significance for the scholars of Kabbalah and Alchemy, and, obviously, since we by means of Gnosis are scholars of these two sciences, it is clear that all this subject matter concerns us.

The pentalpha and the five wounds, Willem de Wael van Vronesteyn

Considerationes de vulnere (Considerations regarding the pentalpha and the five wounds)

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.

Christian Kabbalah, Heirich Khunrath

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

The Tree of the Sephiroth
V.M. Kwen Khan Khu
The Tree of the Sephiroth 850 480 V.M. Kwen Khan Khu

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.

The weighing of the worlds, Robert Fludd

The weighing of the worlds 850 480 V.M. Kwen Khan Khu

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

“Horologium auxiliaris tutelaris angeli” (The Angel-Guardian’s Clock) 850 480 V.M. Kwen Khan Khu

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.

The perfect mind, Nag Hamadi

The perfect mind (Nag Hamadi)

The perfect mind (Nag Hamadi) 850 480 V.M. Kwen Khan Khu

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.
