Samael Aun Weor
サマエル・アウン・ベオール

The man known as Samael Aun Weor was born on the 6th of March, 1917 in South America, in Bogota (Colombia). At a young age, he was interested in many transcendental aspects of life – he wanted to know who we are, where we come from, and what is the purpose of life? He began to search for those answers in the different metaphysical schools of those times. He studied Theosophy, Masonry, the systems of Gurdjieff, the Gnostic-Rosicrucian tradition, he practiced yoga, studied Krishnamurti etc.
サマエル・アウン・ベオールとして知られる彼は、1917年3月6日、南米のボゴタ(コロンビア)に生まれた。幼少の頃、彼は人生の多くの超越的な側面に興味を持っていた。私たちは何者なのか、どこから来たのか、人生の目的は何なのか。彼はこれらの疑問に対する答えを、当時のさまざまな形而上学の学派に求め始めた。神智学、メイソンリー、グルジェフの体系、グノーシス主義、薔薇十字主義の伝統を学び、ヨーガを実践し、クリシュナムルティなどを研究した。

By the age of 17 he was giving lectures at the Theosophical Society and became a member of the Ancient Rosicrucian school (founded by Dr Arnoldo Krumm-Heller / M. Huiracocha) at the age of 18, which served to educate him in practical esotericism.
17歳までに神智学協会で講義をするようになり、18歳で古代バラ十字学校(アーノルド・クルム=ヘラー/M.フイラコチャ博士が創設)の会員となり、そこで実践的な秘教教育を受けた。

But after all that he felt something was missing. He became tired of so many theories and yearned to investigate, to awaken, and to enter into the path of initiation. In his very first book, called The Doorway to Initiation or The Perfect Matrimony (1st edition) he explains that after many, incredible efforts, he found the key—or the Great Arcanum–that would allow him to prepare what the alchemists called “the sacred fire of the philosophers” and this granted him the fortune and immense happiness of beginning his process of genuine spiritual initiation. This occurred in 1947 and in 1948, the formation of a small organisation began, which soon after became an international one.
しかしその後、彼は何かが欠けていると感じた。彼は多くの理論にうんざりし、調査し、目覚め、イニシエーションの道に入ることを熱望した。イニシエーションへの扉あるいは完全なる結婚』(第1版)と呼ばれる彼の最初の著書の中で、彼は多くの信じられないような努力の末に、錬金術師たちが「哲学者たちの聖なる火」と呼んだものを準備することを可能にする鍵、すなわち大いなるアルカナムを見つけたと説明している。これは1947年に起こり、1948年に小さな組織の結成が始まった。

It was his book The Perfect Matrimony, at first—along with so many other written works in the 50’s and 60’s—that most identified the formation of the International Gnostic Movement. And from his second residence in Mexico, he wrote many other treatises about anthropology, psychology, philosophy, art, science, mysticism, Kabbalah, alchemy, medicine, etc. He wrote more than 60 books and gave hundreds of lectures. In essence, Master Samael taught the “Fifth Truth” or in other words sacred sexuality – as the synthesis of all religions, esoteric schools, cultures, civilisations, and races.
国際的なグノーシス主義運動の形成につながったのは、50年代から60年代にかけての多くの著作とともに、彼の著書『完全なる結婚』であった。その後、彼はメキシコに滞在し、人類学、心理学、哲学、芸術、科学、神秘主義、カバラ、錬金術、医学に関する数多くの論文を執筆し、60冊以上の本を書き、何百回もの講演を行った。要するに、マスター・サマエルは「第五の真理」、言い換えれば、あらゆる宗教、秘教的流派、文化、文明、人種の総合としての「性の錬金術」を説いたのである。

“Gnosis lives in facts, withers away in abstractions, and is difficult to find even in the noblest of thoughts.”

Samael Aun Weor

“ノーシスは事実の中に生き、抽象の中に消え去り、最も崇高な思想の中にさえ見出すことは困難である”

サマエル・アウン・ベオール

“Thus, I am a man and an angel. My angel works in the Cosmos, he is the

horseman of chapter XIX of the Apocalypse, and I, his Bodhisatva, live as a man
amongst men. This is the mystery of the double personality, one of the greatest mysteries of occultism: the Bodhisatva of a Master is made of all the animic, igneous and etheric extracts, who are something like the substratum of the inferior bodies.

The Bodhisattva is the human soul of the master. We have two souls: a divine and a
human one. The divine soul is the Spirit-Soul or Buddhic body of the Master, and the Human Soul is animic, etheric and igneous extract of the causal body of man, together with the animic extract s of the inferior vehicles.

In synthesis, I could say that all these animic extracts of the human SOUL,


expressing themselves through the mental, astral and etheric bodies, is what we call
the BODHISATVA of a Master, who lives as a man amongst men when he is incarnated in a physical body. It is said that the Buddha, after going into Nirvana, sent his Bodhisattva to finish his work and his Bodhisattva finished the work in a marvellous manner, under the direction of an internal instructor called SANKARACHAPYA. “SANKARA” was a ray of primitive light, he was a flame.

In this way, my humble worthless person is the Bodhisattva of the Master of the White
Brotherhood SAMAEL AUN WEOR, and as it is logical, I must be a good citizen, fulfilling all my obligations.”
