Two men named Jesus lived and taught in Judea at the same time. A radical nationalist and insurgent called Jesus BarAbbas, and a transcendent and mystical visionary called Jesus BenAdam. Both men were traveling exorcists and healers, but they taught radically different doctrines from one another. Both men were arrested and brought before Pontius Pilot at the same time. One of them was crucified. The crucial question is whether it is Jesus BarAbbas or Jesus BenAdam who is described in the "Orthodox" Gospels. Have the so-called "Orthodox" Christians been following the teachings of the man arrested for murder and subversion for over a thousand years? The Sethian Gnostic Scriptures purport to present the authentic Teachings of Jesus BenAdam. These Teachings have enough in common with the Gnostic Teachings of John the Baptist preserved in the Mandaean Scriptures to be considered as the authentic Teachings of Christ. Since the discovery of the Nag Hammadi Library in the mid-Twentieth Century Humanity has had the Sethian Gnostic Scriptures restored to them, this book contains the techniques of magic that unlock these Scriptures and allow them to become living realities that will transform the experience and perception of the practitioner into the manifestation of the Salvific Gnosis. Starting in the late Nineteenth Century a series of Magical Orders operating on the fringe of Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism have provided a series of magical techniques whereby their initiates can have Out of Body encounters with the various Angels, Demons, and Elementals of Creation. This book applies these magical techniques to the Beings of the Sethian Gnostic Scriptures so that the practitioner may have direct Acquaintance with these Beings and attain Knowledge of Where They Have Come From, Where They Are, and of Where They Are Going. To make these realities accessible it was necessary that the correct Names of these Beings and the Magical Seals of their Names be provided, for the first time in over a thousand years the Greek Names and Sigils of these Beings are provided here. Almost all of the Names of the Beings of the Sethian Gnosis are provided with the sigils derived from their Names so that the practitioner may have direct access to them and not have to rely on the theoretical speculation of modern authors. The Secret Teachings that Christ Jesus taught His Disciples and the 72 most devoted of His followers are made living realities accessible to the practitioner. Many of the mysteries of Creation and its Secret Rulers, including the Secret History of Existence, are all revealed herein. The Twin Creators of Nature are called Ialdabaot and Nebrouel in the Sethian Gnostic Scriptures, the Manichaean Gnostic Scriptures describe them as Twin Dragons, the Great Symbol of Solomon of Eliphas Levi and the Magical Moto of Yeats reveal a mystery of the Void of Bohu and the Waters of Tohu and their role in the manifestation of the Illusion of Separation at the birth of these Primal Twins, all of this and much more is clearly set forth in this book. The revelation of the Gnostic Cosmos is set forth in a clear and precise manner in original terms in this book in an easy to understand fashion even the most basic esoteric students can follow. With over 100 Illustrations and Diagrams, the reader will have everything they need to begin a systematic practice of Meditation and Magic, which will allow them to eventually attain the Transcendent Goal, which the Gnostic Christ promised his followers. Starting with fundamental exercises that build fundamental skills and moving gradually toward very advanced ritual practices, this is a one-stop book for any who aspire to achieve the goal outlined in the Sethian Gnostic Scriptures practically. Complete information, not vague hints, founded on revelatory practice, is provided to the sincere seeker on every page.
