| V.M. Samael Aun Weor | V.M. Litelantes |
Samael Aun Weor, (pronounced sam-ayel a-on vay-ohr) was born in Colombia during the middle of a earthquake on March 6th 1917, he disincarnated 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.

His writings include topics on; occult science and medicine, meditation, Aztec and Mayan cultures, Esoteric Buddhism and Christianity, mythology, psychology, sexology, alchemy, kabala, 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 C.I.G.A. 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.
The signature of Samael Aun Weor
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 (20th C). 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
Founder of the Theosophical Society, Madame Helena P. Blavatsky stated in one of her books that a great teacher who would come to unveil the mysteries: "In Century the Twentieth some disciple more informed, and far better fitted, may be sent by the Masters of Wisdom to give final and irrefutable proofs
that there exists a Science called Gupta-Vidya; and that, like the once-mysterious sources of the Nile, the source of all religions and philosophies now known to the world
has been for many ages forgotten and lost to men, but is at last found." - Madame Helena P. Blavatsky
