Igneous Rose: The Magic, Sexual Energy, and Mind of the Inner Buddha (Timeless Gnostic Wisdom) [Perfect Paperback]

Samael Aun Weor (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 17, 2007 | Series: Timeless Gnostic Wisdom

"We are now going to penetrate into the most profound caverns of the Earth in order to extract its most terrific secrets..." (Samael Aun Weor)

All of the great Prophets and Avatars performed great feats in their effort to assist humanity. This book is a practical guide to follow in their footsteps. All those who aspire to incarnate the Christ (also known as Avalokitesvara, Vishnu, Quetzalcoatl, etc.) must first know how to work consciously with the forces of nature. Samael Aun Weor provides detailed information about the Elementals of nature, the awakening of the Kundalini of the Mental Body, and the development and perfection of Clairvoyance. Although Igneous Rose was written as a companion volume to the famous Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, this volume stands alone in the depth of its mysticism and the urgent call to action it sounds.

"If you want to progress in Nirvana, then you must sacrifice yourself for humanity. My brother, you must become a Bodhisattva of Compassion." (Samael Aun Weor)

About the Author

"We, the bodhisattvas of compassion who love humanity immensely, state: as long as there is a single tear in any human eye, as long as there is even one suffering heart, we refuse to accept the happiness of Nirvana. We must seek the means to become more and more useful to this wretched, suffering humanity." (Samael Aun Weor, The Major Mysteries)

Samael Aun Weor wrote over sixty books, gave thousands of lectures, and formed the worldwide Gnostic Movement, whose members number in the millions. Though these accomplishments are certainly impressive by any standard, they are merely the pale terrestrial reflection of the work he accomplished internally, spiritually. And yet, in spite of his wisdom and generosity towards mankind, he said:

"Do not follow me. I am just a signpost. Reach your own Self-realization."

His lifelong mission was to deliver to humanity the total and exact science required by anyone of any religion, race, culture or creed who wishes to fully and completely develop as a human being. The path he taught is the Path of the Bodhisattva, that mysterious and ancient wisdom long hidden in the bosom of every great religion.

"It is necessary to study our own "I" if we really love our fellowmen. It is indispensable to comprehend that only by putting an end to the factors of egotism and cruelty (that each one of us carries within) can we create a better world, a world without hunger and fear. Society is the individual. The world is the individual. Therefore, if the individual fundamentally changes, the world will inevitably change. The consciousness is in critical danger and only by radically transforming ourselves as individuals can we save ourselves and save humanity." (Samael Aun Weor, The Revolution of the Dialectic)

More About the Author

The name Samael Aun Weor is Hebrew (סםאל און ואור) and is pronounced "sam-ayel on vay-ohr." Samael Aun Weor wrote over sixty books, gave thousands of lectures, and formed the worldwide Gnostic Movement, whose members number in the millions. Though these accomplishments are certainly impressive by any standard, they are merely the pale terrestrial reflection of the work he accomplished internally, spiritually. And yet, in spite of his wisdom and generosity towards mankind, he said:

"Do not follow me. I am just a signpost. Reach your own Self-realization."

His lifelong mission was to deliver to humanity the complete path toward the realization of the inner Being, or in other words, the total and exact science required by anyone of any religion, race, culture or creed who wishes to fully and completely develop the human soul. The path he taught is the Path of the Bodhisattva, that mysterious and ancient wisdom long hidden in the bosom of every great religion.

"For as long as space endures
and for as long as the world lasts,
may I live dispelling the miseries
of the world."
- From The Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life by Santideva

Samael Aun WeorThe Bodhisattva Path, also known as the Straight Path, is taken by very few. While many aspire to the Light, the vast majority take the easier Spiral Path, which is accomplished over a much longer period. The walker of the Straight Path is rare because that road is bitter, painful and filled with terrors. Embodied in the life story of Jesus of Nazareth, the Path of the Bodhisattva is a path of crucifixion and suffering on behalf of others.

"The straight path, the upright course of action, the eightfold path, conducts us from the darkness to the light. Thus, this is what Christ meant when he said to us: "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. - John 14:6

"Those who renounce the happiness of Nirvana because of their love for mankind, those who have the body or vehicle of solar transformation, the Nirmanakaya, are the authentic Bodhisattvas, who indeed walk along the straight path; they know the word of the Lord.

"Regarding myself, concerning me, I am a walker of the straight path; thus, I teach the doctrine related with the straight path for those who want to go on the straight path. As to those who do not want to go on the straight path, well, I'm sorry, but the moment at which they have to define themselves will come: then, to those who choose the Spiral Nirvanic Path, we, the ones who follow the Straight Path, have to say "good-bye," because we go towards the Absolute!" - Samael Aun Weor

Clearly, the Path taught by Samael Aun Weor is a radical departure from the teachings of the Spiral Path, and is even more sharply opposed to the far more common teachings of the Baalim, or Lunar Path. Thus, the student, when encountering Gnosis for the first time, is often shocked, outraged, or offended, because these teachings contradict much of what we believe or hold dear. Upon closer study, it will be discovered that Gnosis is indeed the Doctrine of the Synthesis, the expression of the Universal Wisdom in the heart of every religion. What is in conflict with Gnosis are the ideas and interpretations of mankind. Truth is One; it is the mind we have within which degenerates that Truth into opinions, dogmas, politics and wars.

As a vibrant embodiment of the Bodhisattva ideal, which renounces all self-interest and seeks instead to benefit others, Samael Aun Weor rejected any notion of personality worship or the attachments of followers. Throughout his life, many thousands of students projected onto him their ideals and their needs, and this continues to this day. While many worship him and make Gnosis into just another system of belief, his own message is very clear: the only Master we should follow is our own inner Divinity. To reach that inner Divinity, we must remove from our mind mere belief: we must instead study the path as taught by all the great teachers of humanity, and put those teachings into daily practice.

Perhaps most remarkably, what he wrote and taught was not mere theory: unlike most authors (especially those who write about religion and spirituality), he taught from personal experience.

"There are authors who write marvels, but when one looks at them, one realizes that they have not lived what they have written; they did not experience it in themselves, and that is why they are mistaken. I understand that one must write what one has directly experienced by oneself. I have proceeded in this way on my part." - The Initiatic Path in the Arcana of Tarot and Kabbalah (1978)

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and Inspiring, November 16, 2009

By 

Forester Walker (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Igneous Rose: The Magic, Sexual Energy, and Mind of the Inner Buddha (Timeless Gnostic Wisdom) (Perfect Paperback)

One of Samael Aun Weor's more poetic works, Igneous Rose deals primarily with elemental and plant magic but also contains wonderful and enriching chapters on the nature of the mind, white tantra, dream yoga, initiation, etc. Definitely a work you will want to study before planting the spiritual garden in your consciousness and the literal garden in your backyard. I recommend studying this work alongside "Occult Medicine and Practical Magic" by the same author.

This review is from: Igneous Rose: The Magic, Sexual Energy, and Mind of the Inner Buddha (Timeless Gnostic Wisdom) (Perfect Paperback)

A soft enchanting and beautifully flowing book of esoteric wisdom. I love rereading parts of it like I do others of the masters books but this one has a special place in my heart..

"We are now going to penetrate into the igneous womb of the Mother Goddess of the world..

Agni! Agni ! Agni!

God of Fire, help us, inspire us and lead us through these igneous labyrinths of great Nature.

We are now going to study the delicate petals of the igneous rose of the universe.

We are now going to penetrate into the most profound caverns of the earth in order to extract its most terrific secrets...

A still, small voice exalts the burning flames of our purest feelings...

The voracity of the Children of the Fire crackles among the burning embers of the universe....

We feel the crackling of the flames.... and the aura of the Mother Goddess of the world covers us in its purest effort..

Our chalice is of gold, of silver... and it burns like the solemn fire of the universe...

Children of the Earth! Hear your instructors, the Children of the Fire...

Kings and Queens of the Fire, creatures of the forest...

I conjure you !

There is not a jungle without its Genie, there is not a tree without its creature, its powers and its intelligence ...

There is not a tree without a soul... Every plant is a physical body of an elemental creature of Nature...

Every plant has a soul, and the souls of the plants enclose all the powers of the Mother Goddess of the world....

The souls of the plants are the elementals of Nature. These innocent creatures have not yet left Eden, and for this reason, they have not yet lost their igneous powers...

The elementals of the plants play as innocent children amidst the ineffable melodies of the Mother Goddess of the world's great Eden.

We delight ourselves with the aromas of the fire. Thus we arise full of ecstasy towards the ineffable joy of Nirvana.

There is nothing in this ardent creation that is without a soul...

If we observe with the eyes of the Spirit the ardent depth of a millenarian rock, then we see that each atom is the physical body of a mineral elemental creature that struggles, loves, and works within the ardent crackling of the universal flames. That elemental intensely longs to climb the ardent steps of the carbon and of the diamond in order to have the joy of entering into the sublime kingdom of the plants...

This book smells of a forest. This book smells of a mountain....

We extract this book from the flames of the universe and each one of its words is written with ardent embers...

We want to now extract all the secrets of ancient wisdom from those Giants of the forest, and from those innocent children from the waters, from the air, from the rocks, and from the ardent flames, in order to re-establish the esoteric wisdom over the face of the Earth, and to initiate the Age of Maitreya within the crackling flames of our burning powers.

All the elemental magic of the ancient hierophants ardently sparkles into the august trees of great Nature.

It is necessary to search for the ancient wisdom of the heirophants of Egypt and Greece within the millenarian rocks that are challenging time, and within the subterranean caverns of the womb of the Earth, where the burning fire sparks and burns the debris with its flames.

We are going to separate the smoke from the flames. We are going to elaborate the Body of Liberation with the aroma of the most ardent incentive, which is made from the purest musk.

We need an ardent mind. We need flaming thoughts. We need the Christ mind of the Arhat in order to penetrate into the frightful blaze of these universal flames, where the secrets of the igneous rose of Nature terrifically sparkle.

We raise our flaming chalice amidst the ardent, sparkling fire of the Mother Goddess of the world.

Agni !

Illuminate us.

We raise our chalice to you.

Let us light a bonfire, and let us sing the ardent hymns of fire within the igneous rose of the universe. Let us raise or august chalice and make a toast to the hierarchies of the flames...

Agni! Agni! Agni! "

5.0 out of 5 stars Creation of the Mental Body, February 1, 2012

By 

Dragan (Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Igneous Rose: The Magic, Sexual Energy, and Mind of the Inner Buddha (Timeless Gnostic Wisdom) (Perfect Paperback)

I recently finished studying this book. I chose to read it through twice to try and solidify the depth of information that this book has. Still, this is a book that will have to be revisited many times. I mention this in that for those who have stumbled upon this review and book, the heart and mind should be somewhat attuned, to say the least.

We see from the book written prior to this book I.e. `The Seven Words', that this dealt with the creation of the Astral Body, third initiation of Major Mysteries. If we look at the information in the book `Encounter with Samael' by Rafael Vargas and Javier Casan, `Igneous Rose' was mostly written prior to 1954, "more like from the year 1952 or 1953". We are told that `Igneous Rose' is not an extension of the book `Occult medicine and Practical magic "because in the essence of Igneous Rose we find the processes Master Samael Aun Weor lived in the fourth initiation of Major Mysteries. Igneous Rose is, therefore, a treatise about the mind, the understanding, the creative imagination and comprehension, and this means that we can readily find in its pages that which we long to know about the mind."

I can see why some would like to say that this book is an extension of the book `Occult Medicine...' this is due to the wonderful information on the elementals with the Trees of Juniper, Apple, Cedar, Pine, Tolu and Fig. Included also are the elementals with the Pumpkin Gourd, Saffron, Tuberose, Cinnamon, Frankincense, Myrrh, Aloe and Peppermint Plant. The reason given for stated that this book is not an extension of `Occult Medicine...' is that the elementals of these plants and trees are of a help towards the creation of the Mental Body. I will at this point refer to the words of the V.M.Samael "To be born is a sexual problem and the only path is that of the Perfect Matrimony".

We are also told from `Encounter with Samael' that "`Igneous Rose' is directed to those brothers of the fourth initiation of Major Mysteries." While this is definitely true and I would be glued to this book while going through this fourth initiation, this in no way means that those who are not at this level cannot gain from reading this marvelous book.

Second Christmas Message 1953

So it is also in the year that the `Mystery of the golden Blossom' was written we have the 2nd Christmas message. The Book `Gnosis in the 20th Century' contains all of the Christmas messages (talks) from 1952 - 1963. Unfortunately this book, to date, I have only found in Spanish. This 2nd Christmas message deals with the following: Forming Christ within us, to reject the murder Barabbas and to choose Christ, that Christ is a PARAMARTASATYA (I.e. Has awakened the absolute consciousness) and an inhabitant of the Absolute, the mystery behind the creation of the universes - the fertilization of the female principle (Father: Fire, Mother: Water, Son: Cross, governor of the Cosmos), the mystery of the Cross (INRI), Kundalini Fohat etc.

Also "We should liberate ourselves from all the cosmic planes...stop existing & move onto being, being is...beyond karma & the gods." - `Encounter with Samael' pg 180.
