To experience the CHRISTIC LOVE we will need to be betrayed ─hence the bag of coins that appears in the Christic garden─, we will need to experience the three nails of the Redeemer’s cross, we will suffer the crown of thorns ─internally speaking─, we will be victims of the insolence of the Ego ─see the whip─, we will have to acquire the Christic will ─marked by the hammer─, etc., etc., etc.

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.
Dear readers, this engraving leads us to question our degrees of purity or purification during our journey through the three-dimensional world:
“Specvlvm pvrgativm”, Mirror of Purification
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.
