They gave us chocolate, corn, guacamole, and chiles, and have even more to offer spiritually.
The people who inhabited America before our contemporary civilization were as complex, intelligent, and lovely as any who live today, and their cultures were as varied, contradictory, and expressive. They were great artisans, poets, warriors, thinkers, astronomers, mathematicians. Yes, the ancient Americans degenerated, exactly like our beloved Greeks and Romans, yet the former cultures of the Americas remain widely ignored. Most importantly, at its heart the mysticism of the ancient Americans is completely in harmony with the mysticism of the Egyptians, Buddhists, Christians, Greeks, Jews, Hindus, and so on, and when we study them all, we start to see the place they come from: the one, universal religion.
In Aztec Christic Magic, Samael Aun Weor illuminates many of the significant symbols of the Aztec spiritual tradition, while also providing a series of practical methods to awaken consciousness and experience the truth for ourselves. Through meditation, awakening in the world of dreams, and transmuting the sexual energy, anyone can rise out of suffering and establish a life of happiness.
“The world of ignorance is governed by fear, hate, greed, and lust. In it wander men and women floating listlessly, to and fro, upon their passions only. Only when the human being realizes the spiritual verities of life does he then escape from this underworld... The sun of truth rises in the human being and illuminates his world when he lifts his mind from the darkness of ignorance and selfishness into the light of wisdom and altruism." —Samael Aun Weor
As I am still reading the book albeit though I can say something: It is a well printed work: glossary, footnotes and illustrations and pictures help a lot out to understand the content. It's a interesting lecture: to learn recognizing in all times and cultures (particularly among Aztecs) the simple truth: to ascend to God's Reign you must get rid of all defects/sins inside you, in order to develop inside you, your path to God's Reign.
I have purchased several of his books and some I'm reading 2nd or 3rd time and some I put aside for later when my consciousness will hopefully perceive more. Master Samael has different styles of presenting information in his books some very simplistic and filled hidden wisdom and some quite complicated with complicated elevated language. This book is somewhere in the middle... a miracle for me as it answered some questions, I had for a few years now. I feel his books are energetic this is one of those helpful books for those interested in actually practicing the alchemical transformation. This is my first contact with Aztec Esoterics and it is quite a magical and intense experience.
This is a great book for anyone interested in Native American religion, the principles of Gnosis, meditation, and lucid dreaming. It is one of Samael Aun Weor’s more advanced books, making it different and challenging to comprehend, but the difficult challenge makes it all the more rewarding. It is a unique book that offers practical instructions at the end of many the chapters for developing dream yoga and astral projection skill, which work very effectively and allow for deeper comprehension of the content of the book through knowledge from experience. I purchased the book from glorian.org, which elaborates many of Samael Aun Weor’s teachings, and am very happy to have an esoteric understanding of Aztec and Christian correlations.
Wow, 👏 Amazing.
Another excellent book by Samael Aun Weor.
