Pic Related: This man is Víctor Manuel Gómez Rodríguez, also known as The Venerable Master Samael Aun Weor. Born: March 6, 1917, Bogotá, Colombia. Died: December 24, 1977.
This mans followers believe that he has completed the great work and become an ascended master. In life, he wrote many books and started an interesting movement called that has changed names many times but is widely referred to as "Gnosis". This is not the gnosis commonly referred to here on /fringe/. This is a hierarchical organization that goes about basically greenpilling people by way of public lecture, and then graduation into varying levels of private initiation.
Claiming to be the keepers of the knowledge of the Templar Knights, they teach symbolism, deep meditation/trance, strengthening of the chakras, self awareness, astral travel/lucid dreaming/astral projection, pranayama, theosophy, vocalization/mantra, and convey mysteries. This is all done with HEAVY emphasis on transmutation of sexual energy and the wrongness of masturbation and intercourse, or fornication. In fact, see fornication as the work of only Satanist magicians and maintain that there is no voluntary expulsion of sexual fluid allowed passed the public level, else the fornicator be excommunicated. You and I know that we refrain from "burping the worm" to develop the will necessary to control this fragile and malleable reality.
Now, are any of my friends on /fringe/ aware of this mystery school? What are your thoughts? Additional information?
