From 1950 to 1977, Samael Aun Weor wrote over seventy books. This tremendous output reflects his single intention: to indicate and clarify the Path toward the complete development of the human being. His books refer to and illuminate every mystical tradition of humanity, and demonstrate that they all are derived from the same source. Therefore, his teaching has been called The Doctrine of the Synthesis. In it he explains that "all religions are pearls strung on the golden thread of divinity." By investigating and comprehending the synthesis of all the worlds great religions, one can see the essential truths that have always been present amidst humanity. But more than that, it becomes strikingly clear that there is indeed a comprehensive and exact science that is universal and essential for all human beings, and that humanity in its religious fanaticism has been fighting over the variety of shadows cast by one single flame. As it says in the mystical Hebrew book The Zohar, The narratives of the Doctrine are its cloak. The simple look only at the garment - that is, upon the narrative of the Doctrine; more they know not. The instructed, however, see not merely the cloak, but what the cloak covers. Beginning in 1950, Samael Aun Weor began to unveil what was previously hidden behind the cloak. He indicated that every mythological and religious narrative hides important teachings, and he explained them. This naturally earned him the wrath of the established religious powers and the gratitude of millions of hungry souls, all of whom, like us today, knew that the popular religious forms were dead inside, and offered no real answers to the vital questions every spiritual seeker must answer. Thereafter, his work has inspired millions of people around the world to enter into the Path toward the realization of the Self, the Being. His message has been carried to every continent, and the schools he formed have opened centers in countries around the world. Now, for the first time, Gnosis is becoming widely available in English. |
