This Arcanum is the "Crown of Life", the return to the Light, the incarnation of the Truth within us. No one can achieve Illumination without having been previously purified; only those that have attained Purification, Sanctity, may enter into the Chamber of Illumination.
There are also many students that enter into our studies for reasons of pure curiosity and they want to become wise immediately. Paul of Tarsus says: "We speak Wisdom among the perfect ones."
Only those who attain the Third Stage are Perfect, only among them may Divine Wisdom be spoken of.
In the ancient Egypt of the Pharaohs, among the Occult Masonry, these three stages of the path were:
- APPRENTICES
- COMPANIONS
- MASTERS
The candidates would remain in the stage of Apprentice for seven years or even more, only when the Hierophants were completely sure of the Purification and Sanctity of the candidate could he then pass to the second stage. Actually, only after seven years of Apprenticeship the Illumination begins.
The Crown of Life is our Resplendent Dragon of Wisdom, the "Internal Christ". The Holy Trinity emanates from the Ain Soph, the Internal Atomic Star that has always smiled to us.
1 (MONAD) + 3 (TRINITY) = 4 (TETRAGRAMMATON).
The Arcanum 22 kabbalistically added, equals:
2 + 2 = 4 (TETRAGRAMMATON).
The result is the Holy Four, the mysterious Tetragrammaton, the Iod He-Vau-He; Man, Woman, Fire and Water; Man, Woman, Phallus and Uterus. Now we understand why The Arcanum 22 is the Crown of Life. The Crown of Life is Triune, having three aspects:
- THE ELDER OF THE DAYS.
- THE ADORABLE SON.
- THE VERY WISE HOLY SPIRIT.
- Hebrew Letter: „Tau”
- Transcendental Axiom: „The Sun rises and the Sun sets and it returns once again to its place where it will be reborn.”
- Timetable: There exists a Thirteenth Hour which is that of Liberation.
- Forecasting Element: "It promises long life, inheritances, distinctions, enjoyment of honest pleasures, rivals who challenge affections, friends who keep vigil for us, obstacles as well as the capacity to overcome them, uncertain situations and contingencies that clarify them".
SYNTHESIS:
- I, Samael Aun Weor, the authentic and legitimate Avatar of the New Era of Aquarius, I declare that all of the sciences of the Universe are reduced to Kabbalah and Alchemy.
- Whosoever wants to be a Magus must be an Alchemist and a Kabbalist
- There are Black Magicians that teach their disciples a Negative Sexual Magic during which they ejaculate the Seminal Liquor.
- These Phallic Cults were practiced by the perverse Black Magicians from Canaan, the Sorcerers from Carthage, Tyre and Sidon, they were practiced by the Lemur-Atlantean Black Magicians to ingratiate themselves with the demons.
- Those cities were reduced to dust and all of these perverse ones penetrated into the Abyss.
- When a man spills the semen, he collects from the submerged worlds millions of Demonic Atoms that infect his Brahmanic cord; these Demonic Atoms sink us within our own Atomic Infernos (the same for the woman who reaches orgasm).
- The Three Breaths of Pure Akasha remain reinforced with the Sexual Magic.
- Nonetheless, if a man ejaculates the semen, these Three Breaths will make the Kundalini descend downwards towards the Atomic Infernos of the Human Being. This is the Tail of Satan.
- The disciple must not even spill a single drop of Semen.
- Here I give to humanity the keys to all the Empires of Heaven and Earth, because I do not want to see this anthill-like humanity suffer anymore.
