The mirror that deceives, Theodoor Galle

“Specvlvm fallax” (The mirror that deceives) 850 480 V.M. Kwen Khan Khu

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)

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.

Moral theatre of human life

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.

The weighing of the worlds, Robert Fludd

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

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, VM Kwen Khan Khu

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

In which Nature represents eternity, Jeremías Drexel

“Consideratio segunda” (SECOND CONSIDERATION. In which Nature represents eternity)

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.
