“Where your treasure is there will your heart be also.” “The White Grail: Service, self-sacrifice, purification, love, study. The Black Grail: Prosperity at other’s expense, selfishness, shortcuts, mastered by appetite, comfort. Choose now your path.” – Manly P Hall, The Initiates of the Flame

The heart and mind must be brought into perfect equilibrium before true thinking or true spirituality can be attained

The heart and mind must be brought into perfect equilibrium before true thinking or true spirituality can be attained.

The Gnostics were the first Christian theologists

“The Gnostics were, then, the first Christian theologists, and if it is a cause for reprehension that the real historical side of the new movement was obscured in order to suit the necessities of a religion which aspired to universality, then the Gnostics are the chief culprits.” – G.R.S.

Luciferian intellect is transmuted into the Christly intellect

By Manly P. Hall – “Certain Rosicrucian scholars have given special appellations to these three phases of the sun: the spiritual sun they called Vulcan; the Christ and lucifersoular and intellectual sun, Christ and Lucifer respectively; and the material sun, the Jewish Demiurgus Jehovah.

Lucifer here represents the intellectual mind without the illumination of the spiritual mind; therefore it is “the false light. ”

The false light is finally overcome and redeemed by the true light of the soul, called the Second Logos or Christ.

The secret processes by which the Luciferian intellect is transmuted into the Christly intellect constitute one of the great secrets of alchemy, and are symbolized by the process of transmuting base metals into gold.”

The public as a mass does not think
