His hands got crooked because of extensive typing on the old typewriters of those days. But what did He say when pleaded to by His followers to stop writing, He said it does not matter if I would be unable to type with my hands, I would learn to type with my toes.

And still before leaving His physical body, He renounced all copyrights to His best-sellers, and said let anybody print my books, just keep the cost to such level that even the most poor can afford it.

A man awaited by most religions of this world. He is the fifth of the seven. SAMAEL, the fifth Archangel, who was fallen but raised Himself up from down below. The Buddha Maitreya. The Kalkiya Avatar. The Red Christ of the New Age of Aquarius. The Manu, the Noah of the coming New Sixth Race of this doomed planet on the verge of a huge cataclysm.

Yet, he said: “Do not follow me. I am just a signpost. Reach your own Self-realization”.

On one occasion, He was asked the following question: “It is said that you are the “Buddha Maitreya, Kalki Avatar of the New Age of Aquarius. However, we do not really know what it means. We ask you, Venerable Master, to answer this question clearly.”

He answered thus: «I am be pleased to answer this question:

“KALKI AVATAR” is, certainly, the Avatar for the Kali Yuga, in the Age of Aquarius. The word “AVATAR” means “MESSENGER”. Unquestionably, a “Messenger” is “whoever delivers a message”; and as I am doing that work, to deliver a message, I am called “Messenger”, “Avatar” in Sanskrit.»

His core message was: 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.

His lifelong mission was to teach the humanity the complete path to enlightenment.

The name Samael Aun Weor is his true, eternal name. Every creature has their own eternal name, which has nothing to do with the worldly name we receive at birth. As he wrote in his book The Zodiacal Course: Samael Aun Weor is the authentic name of a flame of the great blaze, before whom I must prostrate myself. Samael Aun Weor means “Will of God”…

VM Samael Aun Weor, the bodhisattva of Samael, the Spirit of Fire, was born in Colombia, South America in 1917. At a very early age, he was able to remember his past incarnations. Thus, he knew who he was.

He never identified with his worldly name since he knew that it was just a passing accident of life that soon disappears in time. At the age of eighteen, he came in contact with his Innermost through a maha-samadhi.

After passing terrible ordeals in the physical world he was initiated in a Gnostic Temple of the Superior Worlds. Through his initiation he remembered his reincarnations in Atlantis, Lemuria, Hyperborea, and the Polar Race. Reaching the state of prajna paramita he gained access to the cosmic Akashic Records (the memory of Nature) and thereafter went beyond the Polar Race, remembering past mahamanvantaras (Cosmic Days). This is how he came to know about the origin of the human being on this planet.

He achieved the complete annihilation within himself of the sub-consciousness, unconsciousness, and infra-consciousness through the techniques of meditation and sexual dynamics; thus he developed Supra-consciousness. He could consciously communicate with all of the sentient beings who inhabit the different spheres or dimensions, parallel universes of the cosmos.

He could talk to birds and animals as we talk to each other. He could tell you what is happening in any part of the world without opening the tv.

VM Samael Aun Weor achieved complete Self-realization at the age of sixty-one; thus at that age he passed through a terrible ordeal which allowed him to achieve the degree of a Resurrected Master and return to Shamballa. Since then, he is operating anonymously in the physical world, while simultaneously continuing his mission from within the Higher Worlds.

In the tradition of VM Samael Aun Weor, no one is asked to believe anything. There are no demands made of the student, save one: use the techniques so you will know for yourself. The knowledge, like the teacher, is merely an indication, a signpost; one should follow it in order to reach the goal.

Yes, there are schools and instructors within the tradition of Samael Aun Weor who have lost sight of this essential point, and they have become just another “cult of personality”. This, however, has nothing to do with real Gnosis.

Venerable Master Samael Aun Weor indicated this many times, as in this case from his book The Zodiacal Course : “I sustain that Nirvana can be won by us in a single reincarnation, properly taken advantage of. Samael Aun Weor has delivered you this course precisely for you to win Nirvana quickly and in a few years. I do not want henchmen nor followers, only imitators of my example. I have not come to form any sect or one more belief, neither am I interested in the schools of today, or the particular beliefs of anyone!”
