Samael
Aun Weor, (Hebrew, pronounced sam-ayel a-on vay-ohr) was born in Colombia during the middle of a earthquake on March
6th 1917, he passed away on the Christmas of 1977 on December 24th,
in Mexico City, where he spent most of his life. He was
a prolific writer, philosopher, esoteric scientist, anthropologist
and teacher
of the Gnostic Esoteric Mysteries.
Samael Aun Weor worked tirelessly for humanity, and made it his
life's purpose to investigate and
unveil the mysteries
of the cosmos
and human nature.
Samael Aun Weor, together with his wife Litelantes founded the first Gnostic
Anthropological school in the early 1950's with the sole aim of bringing
to humanity the wisdom of Gnosis and the keys to attaining self-knowledge.
Samael Aun Weor wrote over sixty books and gave hundreds of lectures
on the Gnostic path to self-knowledge. He renounced
personal income from the sale of his books and the giving of lectures. However with the help of a small but dedicated group of students
he was able to accomplish a grandiose work leaving to humanity a
masterpiece of esoteric writings.
Samael
Aun Weor, always worked with profound reflection
and deep contemplation
when working on his books and written works.
The wisdom contained in his books is not derived via the usual methods
of scholarly and historical research, neither are they based on
theory or intellectual speculation. Samael Aun Weor acquired his
knowledge from metaphysical dimensions of reality and nature which
are hidden to most people - but visible to those who choose to work
on themselves to prepare and develop spiritual means of perception.

in contemplation on the pyramid in Mexico - Teotihuacán
His writings include topics on; occult science and medicine, meditation,
Aztec and Mayan cultures, Esoteric Buddhism and Christianity, mythology,
psychology, sexology,
alchemy, kabbalah, the future and past epochs
of humanity and an unveiling of the worlds mystery teachings.
Though
his accomplishments are certainly impressive by any standard, they
are merely the pale material reflection of the work he accomplished
internally and spiritually. Yet, in spite of his wisdom and
generosity towards humanity,
he always said:
"Do not follow me, I am just a signpost,
reach your own self-realisation".
Today there are GIA groups and schools worldwide, founded on the principles
of universal charity and wisdom. These Gnostic groups study art,
science, meditation, anthropology, philosophy and the religions of the world.
The origin of the stream of Gnosis runs from the Ancient Mystery Schools
and now this stream flows again throughout the world. It is the mission and purpose of contemporary Gnosticism to explain, educate
and unveil these ageless systems of wisdom that are so vital for our culture and the enrichment of humanity.

| Samael Aun Weor, wrote about his own mission and that of the Gnostic movement: "Unquestionably many famous intelligent persons of occult knowledge, transmitted to humanity a simple, elementary teaching at the end of the last century and at the beginning of the present century (20thC). It is clear that such persons only proposed to publicly teach the first stages of the secret doctrine. At that time, they did not spend much time in the analysis of the evolving and involutive laws. Rudolf Steiner already affirmed, in 1912, that they, the initiates of that age, had only delivered an elementary knowledge, but that later, a superior esoteric doctrine of transcendental nature would be given to humanity. Now, we are delivering this type of superior esoteric doctrine..." - Samael Aun Weor
