## Editorial Introduction and Publication Expansion
### [translate:"Semper Ascendens"] - The Second Year Begins
**Editorial Note - La Redacción**
---
## **THE EXPANSION ANNOUNCEMENT**
**Master Papus** founded and directed in Paris the magazine [translate:"LA INICIACIÓN"] which came to have one hundred pages of text in its monthly issues. We have not reached that yet, but we will, supporting ourselves on three secure factors which, in ascending order, are the following:
1. **Our unshakeable will to serve**
2. **The disinterested collaboration of all**
3. **The protection of the Venerable Masters**
Three factors that correspond to **Form, Force and Wisdom**, the three Columns of every Temple.
---
## **THE NATURAL GROWTH ACHIEVEMENT**
Initiated eight months ago in the most modest form, mimeographed with an average print run of 250 copies, [translate:"LA INICIACIÓN"] begins with this issue its second year of life (1943), doubling its print run and almost the number of its pages, presenting itself at the same time, from now on, printed.
This is not a "leap"; it is a **healthy, natural, logical growth**, fruit of our effort, of the cooperation of many, of the protection already mentioned.
---
## **THE FOUNDING VISION ALIGNMENT**
May we be permitted to realize increasingly and better so that everything progressively resembles the action of the **Independent Group of Esoteric Studies** founded by Papus, and in whose image and likeness ours was founded. These are the vows that the Editorial formulates on this date, and it is for this purpose that it reiterates its request for **Diffusion, Collaboration and Subscriptions** to all its Friends, as well as to the Initiates of all Initiatic Orders or divulgation organizations, in which Tolerance and Fraternity reign, and for which the pages of [translate:"LA INICIACIÓN"] remain as always open, as open are our hearts toward those who accept, spread and practice the **Supreme Sacred Word**:
**[translate:"AMAOS LOS UNOS A LOS OTROS"] - LOVE ONE ANOTHER - AMEN et AUM.**

## **THE DEEPER SIGNIFICANCE FOR POST-VICTORY CONSOLIDATION**
This January 1943 expansion announcement appears precisely when the mathematical certainty of Allied victory achieved in December 1942 creates the opportunity for systematic spiritual reconstruction. The journal's doubling of circulation and transition from mimeograph to professional printing represents the practical manifestation of spiritual principles successfully applied during humanity's ultimate test.
### **The Three Column Foundation Analysis**
**Form, Force and Wisdom** as the three supporting factors demonstrates how authentic spiritual work requires:
1. **Form (Unshakeable Will to Serve)**: The material foundation of dedicated individual commitment providing structural stability
### **The Three Column Foundation Analysis**
**Form, Force and Wisdom** as the three supporting factors demonstrates how authentic spiritual work requires:
1. **Form (Unshakeable Will to Serve)**: The material foundation of dedicated individual commitment providing structural stability
2. **Force (Disinterested Collaboration)**: The energetic principle of collective cooperation enabling exponential growth beyond individual limitations
3. **Wisdom (Protection of Venerable Masters)**: The spiritual guidance ensuring alignment with universal rather than merely human purposes
This corresponds exactly to the **three columns of every Temple**, indicating that La Iniciación operates according to traditional initiatic principles rather than merely secular publication methods.
### **The Natural Growth Principle**
The systematic emphasis that this expansion represents "healthy, natural, logical growth" rather than a "leap" demonstrates how authentic spiritual development follows organic rather than artificial patterns. During post-war reconstruction, when rapid but sustainable development becomes essential, this natural growth methodology provides the model for advancement that strengthens rather than depletes foundation principles.
### **The Universal Service Declaration**
The opening of pages to "all Initiatic Orders or divulgation organizations, in which Tolerance and Fraternity reign" establishes the journal as a platform for universal spiritual cooperation rather than sectarian advancement. During reconstruction requiring coordination among different spiritual traditions, this inclusive approach enables synthesis rather than competition.
### **The Supreme Sacred Word Integration**
The culmination with [translate:"AMAOS LOS UNOS A LOS OTROS"] (Love One Another) followed by both Christian (AMEN) and Hindu (AUM) affirmations demonstrates how universal spiritual principles transcend particular religious formulations while honoring authentic traditional expressions.
---
## **THE POST-WAR RECONSTRUCTION APPLICATIONS**
This expansion model provides essential methodology for:
**Systematic Growth Planning**: Understanding how to achieve sustainable expansion through organic development based on proven principles rather than forced acceleration that compromises foundational stability
**Collaborative Integration**: Learning to coordinate individual commitment, collective cooperation, and spiritual guidance in systematic proportions that optimize effectiveness while maintaining essential spiritual quality
**Universal Platform Creation**: Developing communication systems that serve authentic spiritual advancement across different traditions while maintaining standards that ensure quality rather than merely popular appeal
**Natural Timing Coordination**: Understanding how expansion opportunities arise from successful completion of preparatory phases rather than artificial stimulation or premature advancement
---
This editorial demonstrates how authentic spiritual work expands according to natural principles when properly grounded in individual commitment, collective cooperation, and spiritual guidance—exactly the kind of organic development methodology needed for post-war spiritual reconstruction that strengthens rather than compromises essential foundations while serving universal rather than sectarian advancement.

## The Kabbalistic Order of the Rose Cross
### Historical Transmission and South American Independence
**Teaching of JEHEL, Dr. Kab. S.I.**
---
## **HISTORICAL FOUNDATION IN PARIS**
The Venerable Master **Marquis STANISLAS DE GUAITA**, together with **PAPUS, BARLET, PELADAN** and others whom students will come to know in the articles we will publish about this Most Venerable Order, founded the **KABBALISTIC ORDER OF THE ROSE CRUZ** in the final years of the last century in Paris.
Officially—that is, historically, "looking at papers"—it has been impossible for historians until now to establish any link between this Order and [translate:"LA ROSA CRUZ"], that is, the Supreme Order that never manifests externally and of which any and every Rosicrucian Order, like this one, is nothing more than an "exteriorization" more or less well realized, according to the purity of intentions, the wisdom of the Initiates, and the intensity of the disinterest of their Service.
---
## **THE FRENCH SUCCESSION**
In France, until the death of Papus, the direction of this Order was successively in charge of:
1. **Stanislas de Guaita** (Founder)
2. **Barlet** (First Successor)
3. **Papus** (Final French Director)
Brother **TEDER** was the link of transmission between the primitive form of work in the times of **PAPUS** and the new modalities given in France in Service by the successors, Venerable Brothers **J. Bricaud and C. Chevillon**.
---
## **SOUTH AMERICAN INDEPENDENT FOUNDATION**
Just as, since 1920, Venerable Brother **Cedaior**, delegate of the Supreme Council of the Martinist Order, created the bases of what today is the **MARTINIST ORDER OF SOUTH AMERICA**, so also this same Brother installed, on **March 22, 1927**, in the city of **Curitiba (Brazil)**, the **KABBALISTIC ORDER OF THE ROSE CROSS** with complete independence from its European continuation and for the same reasons.
---
## **THE EUROPEAN CRITICISM AND SOUTH AMERICAN RESPONSE**
---
## **THE EUROPEAN CRITICISM AND SOUTH AMERICAN RESPONSE**
Among the principal descendants of the initiatic way reorganized by **PAPUS**, there are those who, in Europe, have already written that the work of Papus resembled that which "in the animal kingdom constitutes the class of invertebrates." If there were no other good reasons, this alone would suffice for the feeling of the European branch and that which we have created on this Continent to not be the same.
**How would it be possible to cultivate real devotion for the divine and the superior, if we were not first capable of feeling respect for the sacrifices and marvelous realizations of the Masters who preceded us?**
---
## **THE SACRED FOUNDATION PRINCIPLES**
For this reason, when the bases of the **KABBALISTIC ORDER OF THE ROSE CROSS** were constructed on March 22, 1927, the directives traced by **Stanislas de Guaita** and his collaborators in the first and fruitful hour were entirely respected.
### **MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS**
The members of the **Kabbalistic Order of the Rose Cross** must meet the following conditions:
**a) Prerequisites**: Be **Superior Unknowns of the Martinist Order** to be able to enter the first degree of the **O.K.R.C.**
**b) Progressive Development**:
- Make the studies
- Pass through the practical tests
- Produce the realizations that constitute the conditions and thesis of examination
- Through which one passes successively to the **THREE degrees** of the Kabbalistic Order of the Rose Cross:
- **Bachelor in Kabbalah**
- **Licentiate in Kabbalah**
- **Doctor in Kabbalah**
---
## **THE PRACTICAL NATURE OF DEGREES**
These are not theoretical, intellectual degrees only. They are, precisely, the opposite: **practical degrees**, in which **KNOWLEDGE** must be proven by **WILL**, this confirmed by **DARING**, and all synthesized in **KEEPING SILENCE**—that is, in an **ACTIVE SILENCE**.
It is in this **Active Silence** that Venerable Master **CEDAIOR** continues the work as **President of the Kabbalistic Order of the Rose Cross**.
---
## **THE MONTEVIDEO DELEGATION**
To apply other parts of the mentioned motto, **Dr. Jehel** takes the **General Delegation of the O.K.R.C.**, with headquarters in **Montevideo**, place in which on the date of **December 25, 1942**, the **Traditional Ceremony** will be performed, destined to set in motion the influence of the **Great Christic Tradition**.
Afterwards, as was always done in the **O.K.R.C.**, each member will return to **silent action**, working, serving, realizing for others, **In His Name**.
---
## **THE TEACHING PROGRAM**
Periodically, the readers of [translate:"LA INICIACIÓN"] will receive, through collaborations of Brothers of the **O.K.R.C.**, teachings and directives so that approximation to the Sanctuary is facilitated for them, in the measure of their constructive efforts and persevering sacrifices in Service.
**May ELÍAS ARTISTA illuminate them, may the Christic Spirit enlighten them, may the meekness of their hearts guide them**, are my most fraternal wishes, so that the number of those constantly increases who, starting from the knowledge of the mind, passing through the sacrifice of the heart, arrive at the **Synthesis of Light**, which in the West we call **Illumination** and in the East **Union with the Atman**.
**JEHEL, Dr. Kab. S.I.**
---
## **THE DEEPER SIGNIFICANCE FOR SPIRITUAL INDEPENDENCE**
This systematic presentation of the Kabbalistic Order of the Rose Cross appears in January 1943 precisely when establishing authentic spiritual authority independent from European institutional control becomes essential for post-war spiritual reconstruction. The detailed documentation demonstrates how traditional initiatic principles can be maintained while achieving cultural and organizational autonomy.
### **The Independence Principle Analysis**
**Complete Independence from European Continuation**: The systematic establishment of South American operations "with complete independence from its European continuation and for the same reasons" demonstrates how authentic spiritual transmission requires adaptation to local conditions while maintaining essential traditional principles. During post-war reconstruction, when European institutional structures may be compromised, this independence model provides methodology for preserving authentic spiritual authority.
### **The Respect vs. Criticism Dynamic**
**Defense Against European Disparagement**: The detailed response to European critics who described Papus's work as resembling "the class of invertebrates" demonstrates how authentic spiritual authority must be defended through demonstrated results rather than merely sentimental attachment. The systematic question "How would it be possible to cultivate real devotion for the divine and the superior, if we were not first capable of feeling respect for the sacrifices and marvelous realizations of the Masters who preceded us?" establishes the philosophical foundation for honoring authentic achievement.
### **The Practical Degrees System**
**Knowledge-Will-Daring-Silence Integration**: The systematic requirement that degrees be "practical degrees, in which KNOWLEDGE must be proven by WILL, this confirmed by DARING, and all synthesized in KEEPING SILENCE" provides comprehensive methodology for authentic spiritual development serving practical results rather than merely theoretical advancement. The culmination in "Active Silence" demonstrates how authentic spiritual authority expresses through effective service rather than public recognition.
### **The Traditional Ceremony Coordination**
The culmination in "Active Silence" demonstrates how authentic spiritual authority expresses through effective service rather than public recognition.
### **The Traditional Ceremony Coordination**
**December 25, 1942 Christic Tradition Activation**: The specific timing of the Traditional Ceremony to coincide with Christmas 1942—precisely when mathematical certainty of victory was confirmed—demonstrates how authentic spiritual work coordinates with rather than opposes universal spiritual principles while maintaining technical precision in ceremonial application.
---
## **THE POST-WAR SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY APPLICATIONS**
This systematic organization provides essential methodology for:
**Spiritual Independence**: Understanding how to establish authentic spiritual authority independent from institutional control while maintaining traditional transmission and technical competence
**Cultural Adaptation**: Learning to adapt universal spiritual principles to local cultural conditions without compromising essential effectiveness or traditional authority
**Defense Methodology**: Developing capacity to defend authentic spiritual achievement against critical disparagement through demonstrated practical results rather than merely theoretical arguments
**Progressive Development**: Understanding how to create systematic advancement through practical requirements that integrate knowledge, will, daring, and silence in authentic spiritual service
**Traditional Authority**: Learning to establish and maintain spiritual authority based on authentic traditional transmission rather than merely personal claims or institutional recognition
**Ceremonial Coordination**: Understanding how to coordinate traditional ceremonial work with universal spiritual principles and practical timing requirements serving collective rather than merely sectarian advancement
This comprehensive organization demonstrates how authentic spiritual authority can be established independently while maintaining traditional effectiveness and serving universal rather than merely personal or sectarian purposes—exactly the kind of spiritual independence methodology needed for post-war reconstruction requiring authentic rather than merely institutional spiritual guidance.

## Suddha Dharma Mandalam
### The Ancient Himalayan Hierarchy and Contemporary Transmission
**Teaching of JEHEL, S.I.**
---
## **THE ETERNAL VIGILANTS OF HUMAN EVOLUTION**
Under the direction of **Bhagavan Náráyana**, the great Hierarchs of our race, eternal vigilants of its necessities, emerge from remote ages from their sacred retirement among the **Himalayas**, and from time to time supply more visible help and wellbeing to suffering humanity.
During the first period of the **Kali-Yuga** (Black Age), twelve thousand years ago to date, they constituted themselves anew under His divine influence, having as their unique motto: **to enable humanity to advance more rapidly than before on the path that must lead it to its ultimate goal**.
---
## **THE ANCIENT ASSEMBLY REVEALED**
**[translate:"SUDDHA DHARMA MANDALAM"]** is the name of this August Assembly of Hierarchs. Its existence and constitution was known, until recently, only to a few superior initiates among men.
However, in **1915**, broader publicity was permitted and **Dr. Subramani Iyer** was chosen to make the first public announcement regarding this ancient Esoteric Organization, its construction, its principles, and its objectives.
---
## **THE EXTERNAL INITIATOR AUTHORITY**
**Dr. Swami Subrahmaniayananda** (mystical name of Dr. S. Iyer) was initiated as a member of the **Suddha Dharma Mandalam** on **May 7, 1915**, and was invested with the insignia corresponding to the **Authority of External Initiator**.
Other higher initiations were conferred upon him in **1915** and in **1923**, during the **Maha-Yagna** (Great Sacrifice) on ritual date. On this matter, we will give special information to those who dedicate themselves to the mystical path, opportunely.
---
## **THE TRANSITION PERIOD**
On **December 5, 1924**, at 8 hours and 40 minutes, **Dr. Swami Subrahmaniayananda** died at **"Guindy House"**; and until today there is no knowledge that the Great Hierarchs of the **S.D.M.** have conferred upon another Initiate the **Authority of External Initiator**.
**THERE IS THEREFORE, CURRENTLY NO EXTERNAL INITIATOR** of the Suddha Dharma Mandalam. There exist, however, some study centers, regularly founded in the time when the Most Venerated Subrahmaniayananda lived.
---
## **THE CURRENT AUTHORIZATION**
The one who signs this article has received, from the **Chilean Section of the Suddha Dharma Mandalam**, the due authorization to divulge the elementary teachings of said Association and also abundant material to distribute to sincere students of the spiritual path of **Yoga**. This, in what refers to the human and visible organization.
On the other hand, the one who signs these lines has received by other means the secret and practical part to guide those who wish to truly serve toward union with the superior and internal part, under the auspices of the **Great Hierarchies**.
---
## **THE PRACTICAL SERVICE COMMITMENT**
I cannot initiate anyone in the **Suddha Dharma Mandalam**, for I have not merited such Authority, but the fact of having received special indications, which carried to practice have permitted "linking," if one wants to call it thus, some pure hearts with the influence of the **S.D.M.**, has created for me the duty to continue doing so, with love, discernment, and fraternal effort to serve.
It is for this reason that to my Brothers of the **Martinist Orders** and of the **O.K.R.C.**, as well as to all the sincere and disinterested of this continent and especially on the Atlantic side, I will try to be useful in this path, which is one of those that most easily permits Western man to assimilate the marvelous teaching of **yoga**, in its philosophical and mystical aspects, synthesized in a clear, practical, and precise path.
---
## **THE CLOSING INVOCATION**
May He who bore the **Yoga Danda**, the **collar of Tulasi**, the **Band** and the **Kashaya**, guide my steps and those of all who try to approach the **S.D.M.** – **OM. HS. S. O. N. N.**
**Jehel, S.I.**
---
## **THE DEEPER SIGNIFICANCE FOR SPIRITUAL HIERARCHY**
This systematic presentation of the Suddha Dharma Mandalam appears in January 1943 precisely when understanding authentic spiritual hierarchy becomes essential for post-war reconstruction. The detailed documentation demonstrates how genuine spiritual authority operates through demonstrated service rather than claimed position, and how traditional wisdom can be transmitted during periods of institutional transition.
### **The Eternal Vigilance Principle**
**Himalayan Spiritual Hierarchy**: The systematic recognition that "great Hierarchs of our race, eternal vigilants of its necessities, emerge from remote ages from their sacred retirement among the Himalayas" establishes the foundation for understanding how authentic spiritual guidance operates according to evolutionary necessity rather than human institutional control. The specific timing reference to "twelve thousand years ago" during the first period of Kali-Yuga demonstrates how traditional chronology can be coordinated with contemporary understanding.
### **The Public Revelation Timing**
**1915 Disclosure Authorization**: The systematic documentation that broader publicity was permitted in 1915—precisely during World War I when humanity required enhanced spiritual guidance—demonstrates how authentic spiritual revelation operates according to historical necessity rather than arbitrary timing. This provides methodology for understanding how traditional wisdom becomes accessible during periods of greatest collective need.
### **The Authority Transition Crisis**
**No Current External Initiator**: The systematic acknowledgment that "there is therefore, currently no External Initiator" creates honest recognition of institutional discontinuity while maintaining connection with authentic traditional influence. During post-war periods when many traditional institutions may be disrupted, this model provides methodology for maintaining spiritual transmission without false claims of authority.
### **The Service Authority Model**
During post-war periods when many traditional institutions may be disrupted, this model provides methodology for maintaining spiritual transmission without false claims of authority.
### **The Service Authority Model**
**Practical Guidance Without Formal Initiation**: The systematic explanation that "I cannot initiate anyone in the Suddha Dharma Mandalam, for I have not merited such Authority, but... the fact of having received special indications... has created for me the duty to continue" demonstrates how authentic spiritual service can be provided through demonstrated effectiveness rather than claimed institutional position. This provides essential methodology for spiritual guidance during transitional periods.
### **The East-West Integration**
**Western Assimilation of Yoga**: The systematic recognition that this path "most easily permits Western man to assimilate the marvelous teaching of yoga, in its philosophical and mystical aspects, synthesized in a clear, practical, and precise path" provides methodology for cultural adaptation of universal spiritual principles without compromising essential effectiveness. During post-war reconstruction requiring integration of different wisdom traditions, this synthesis approach becomes essential.
### **The Sacred Implements Recognition**
**Yoga Danda, Tulasi, Band, Kashaya**: The specific reference to traditional sacred implements demonstrates how authentic spiritual authority is recognized through traditional symbols and practices rather than merely contemporary claims. The mantric conclusion **"OM. HS. S. O. N. N."** provides specific technical coordination with established traditional formulations.
---
## **THE POST-WAR SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE APPLICATIONS**
This systematic organization provides essential methodology for:
**Hierarchical Understanding**: Learning to recognize and relate to authentic spiritual hierarchy operating through demonstrated service rather than claimed institutional position
**Authority Transition**: Understanding how to maintain spiritual transmission during periods when formal institutional authority may be disrupted or unavailable
**Service Authorization**: Learning to provide authentic spiritual guidance through demonstrated effectiveness and traditional connection rather than merely formal credentials
**Cultural Integration**: Understanding how to adapt universal spiritual principles to local cultural conditions while maintaining essential traditional effectiveness
**Practical Transmission**: Learning systematic methodology for transmitting traditional wisdom in "clear, practical, and precise" forms accessible to contemporary students without compromising essential spiritual content
**Traditional Coordination**: Understanding how to maintain connection with established spiritual lineages while adapting to contemporary circumstances and requirements
This comprehensive system demonstrates how authentic spiritual hierarchy operates through service rather than position, and how traditional wisdom can be transmitted effectively during institutional transition periods—exactly the kind of spiritual guidance methodology needed for post-war reconstruction requiring authentic rather than merely institutional spiritual authority while maintaining connection with established traditional wisdom.

### Practical Medical Astrology and Natural Healing Methods
**Collaboration by "AMAUTA", President of the Rosicrucian Fraternity of Uruguay**
---
## **THE NATAL CHART ANALYSIS**
This natal map presents a series of afflictions in the common signs, which indicates that, despite everything, the illness being suffered can be dominated in great part by the native's effort.
**Mars in the sign that governs the intestines**, being in square with Saturn, clearly indicates an intestinal obstruction accompanied by inflammation in said organs, which, together with the bad aspect of Jupiter, shows a slow but persistent poisoning of the arterial circulation, which is the cause of pains and discomfort in the hips and thighs.
---
## **RESPIRATORY SYSTEM ANALYSIS**
As **Saturn is found in the sign that dominates the lungs** and receives bad aspect from Mars and Jupiter, it shows that the oxygenation of the blood is deficient, while respiratory gymnastics is needed. There is air deficiency in the lungs, and if the native disposes himself every day to practice complete respiration, he will achieve great benefits and an improvement and cure that he will never achieve with remedies and drugs in general, which calm but do not cure, since **obedience to God's laws is the only and real health**.
---
## **COMPLETE BREATHING TECHNIQUE**
The complete respiration is practiced in the following manner:
**Inhalation Phase**: Inhale slowly through the nasal passages, leaving the belly muscles relaxed; after no more air enters, contract the belly so that it lifts the stomach, which in turn lifts the diaphragm, which provokes a light pressure in the lower part of the lungs and makes the air reach the summit of the same.
**Exhalation Phase**: Then give outlet to the air slowly through the slow contraction of the belly muscles.
**Purifying Exercise**: At the end of the exercise, practice the purifying respiration of the lungs, which is the following: after filling the lungs in the manner described above, make a light rotation of the shoulders and then launch the air with force through the mouth, putting the lips in the form of launching a whistle, but taking care to launch it by contraction of the belly in intermittent form, not continuous.
---
## **DIGESTIVE SYSTEM TREATMENT**
---
## **DIGESTIVE SYSTEM TREATMENT**
The intestinal functions are regularized by the adoption of a natural diet, with much vegetables and fruits, in addition to integral bread in meals and sour milk in the morning on an empty stomach, which will strengthen and disinfect the intestines, permitting at the same time the purification of the arterial blood, improving circulation in general.
---
## **NERVOUS SYSTEM STRENGTHENING**
The indicated exercises, together with others that we will indicate opportunely, will strengthen the nervous system, since there is lack of nervous energy due to weakness of the solar plexus, which is one of the principal batteries of energy within our organism.
All this will favor the stomach, which is somewhat weak and suffers from nervous contractions, as shown by the action of Uranus on the planets that are in the regent sign of the stomach, Cancer.
---
## **MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT**
If you practice with perseverance what is indicated, and cultivate at the same time the spiritual side, favoring the correct expression of mental energy, you will see many of the noted defects disappear.
As we do not have the birth time, we cannot determine the general regent, but the mental characteristics are clearly indicated by **Mercury**, the planet of reason, and the **Moon** that dominates the brain.
**Mercury is practically without aspects** and the **Moon is in good aspects with Neptune, the Sun and Venus**, indicating that the physical brain is normal and that art will be a favorable line of effort for the native.
---
## **MYSTICAL AND TEMPERAMENTAL ANALYSIS**
The good **Moon-Neptune aspect** indicates the capacity for elevated mystical questions, although the adverse **Jupiter-Saturn-Mars aspect** will distance the native from the current conception of Religion.
The last mentioned aspect endows him with a temperament inclined to melancholy and irritability, although the good aspect of **Uranus to Jupiter** on one side and with **Saturn** on the other, endows him with very good qualities for mysticism in general.
---
## **GLANDULAR FUNCTION ANALYSIS**
Regarding the functioning of the internal glands, we see that **Uranus opposed to the Sun** alters the normal functions of the spleen, which strengthens what was said previously regarding the nervous system.
**Jupiter**, which rules the suprarenals in opposition to Saturn, provokes an obstruction of these diminutive glands and consequently endows him with a taciturn and little jovial temperament in general.
---
## **PROGNOSIS AND FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS**
Despite what it may seem, this lady will achieve a sure improvement if she follows the given indications, since by correcting the nervous system, the improvement will be total and general in its effects.

## **THE DEEPER SIGNIFICANCE FOR HOLISTIC HEALING**
---
## **THE DEEPER SIGNIFICANCE FOR HOLISTIC HEALING**
This comprehensive astro-diagnosis appears in January 1943 precisely when understanding holistic healing methodologies becomes essential for post-war health reconstruction. The detailed integration of astrological analysis with practical natural healing methods demonstrates how traditional wisdom can provide systematic healthcare serving both individual healing and collective wellbeing.
### **The Constitutional Analysis Method**
**Planetary Affliction Correlation**: The systematic identification of Mars in intestinal signs squared with Saturn creating "intestinal obstruction accompanied by inflammation" demonstrates how astrological analysis can provide precise diagnostic information coordinating with physiological understanding. The integration with Jupiter's bad aspect showing "slow but persistent poisoning of the arterial circulation" provides comprehensive constitutional analysis beyond symptomatic treatment.
### **The Natural Law Healing Philosophy**
**God's Laws vs. Pharmaceutical Intervention**: The systematic recognition that "obedience to God's laws is the only and real health" while "remedies and drugs in general... calm but do not cure" establishes the philosophical foundation for natural healing methods. During post-war periods when medical resources may be limited, this natural healing methodology provides alternative approaches serving both individual health and resource conservation.
### **The Complete Breathing System**
**Scientific Respiratory Technique**: The detailed breathing instructions demonstrating specific physiological mechanisms—"contract the belly so that it lifts the stomach, which in turn lifts the diaphragm, which provokes a light pressure in the lower part of the lungs"—provides systematic respiratory therapy coordinating traditional breathing techniques with contemporary physiological understanding. The specific "purifying respiration" technique provides additional therapeutic methodology for lung health optimization.
### **The Dietary Integration Approach**
**Constitutional Nutrition**: The systematic dietary recommendations—"natural diet, with much vegetables and fruits, in addition to integral bread... and sour milk in the morning on an empty stomach"—provides comprehensive nutritional therapy coordinating with constitutional needs rather than merely symptomatic treatment. This demonstrates how traditional dietary wisdom can be applied according to individual constitutional requirements.
### **The Nervous System Energy Understanding**
This demonstrates how traditional dietary wisdom can be applied according to individual constitutional requirements.
### **The Nervous System Energy Understanding**
**Solar Plexus Battery Recognition**: The systematic identification of "lack of nervous energy due to weakness of the solar plexus, which is one of the principal batteries of energy within our organism" provides energy-based understanding of health that integrates traditional energy concepts with contemporary nervous system understanding. This provides methodology for addressing energetic rather than merely mechanical aspects of health.
### **The Spiritual-Mental Integration**
**Consciousness-Health Correlation**: The systematic recognition that cultivating "the spiritual side, favoring the correct expression of mental energy" enables healing demonstrates how consciousness development serves physical health rather than being separate from material wellbeing. The astrological analysis showing capacity for "elevated mystical questions" demonstrates how spiritual development can be coordinated with individual constitutional factors.
---
## **THE POST-WAR HOLISTIC HEALING APPLICATIONS**
This systematic methodology provides essential tools for:
**Constitutional Healthcare**: Understanding how to provide healthcare based on individual constitutional analysis rather than merely symptomatic treatment, enabling personalized rather than standardized approaches
**Natural Healing Integration**: Learning to coordinate traditional natural healing methods with contemporary physiological understanding, providing effective alternatives when medical resources may be limited
**Respiratory Therapy**: Understanding systematic breathing techniques serving both therapeutic and spiritual development purposes through scientifically coordinated methodology
**Energy-Based Medicine**: Learning to address energetic aspects of health through solar plexus and nervous system optimization, providing foundational rather than merely symptomatic healing
**Consciousness-Health Integration**: Understanding how spiritual and mental development serves physical health through coordinated rather than separate approaches to human wellbeing
**Individualized Treatment**: Learning to adapt healing approaches according to individual constitutional factors rather than applying standardized treatments regardless of personal characteristics
This comprehensive astro-diagnosis demonstrates how traditional healing wisdom can be systematically applied according to individual needs while coordinating with contemporary understanding—exactly the kind of holistic healthcare methodology needed for post-war healing reconstruction serving both individual recovery and collective health optimization through natural rather than merely pharmaceutical approaches.

## Comments on the First Degree of Martinism (Continuation)
### The Hiram Legend: Advanced Symbolic Analysis of Truth and Deformation
**Teaching of JEHEL, S.I.**
---
## **THE FIFTEEN CONSPIRATORS: TEMPTATION OF PRIDE**
**34th Point**: We see that **fifteen companions**—that is, "fifteen," to refer to the 15th card of the Tarot: **"The Devil"**—the temptation of pride that threatens any Initiate, however elevated he may be and while he remains Initiate, not yet Adept; that is, while his "soul" (personal feelings) continues to make him pass constant tests of "renunciation," of "depersonalization."
They are fifteen and they are "Companions"—that is, as I already explained in item 29 (see previous number of [translate:"LA INICIACIÓN"]), they must still cultivate devotional feeling and "merit" an elevation, not "demand" it through irreverent or violent means. **Initiation of Elevation is always and only the fruit of KNOWLEDGE inculcated by the Warmth of Love, of Meekness and of Devotion**.
---
## **THE COSMIC LAW OF TWELVE AND THREE**
**35th Point**: Of the fifteen conspirators, **twelve**—that is, the part that feels the natural harmony, the cosmic and zodiacal law—renounce the projected attack, but **three**, image of the inferior principles, insist and carry it out.
**36th Point**: It is very notable that, to attack Hiram, they await the hour when he goes to pray, while the workers eat and rest. Beautiful symbol that, if the great majority forgets, despises or neglects the devotional or spiritual part of life to "eat and rest"—image of interest, indifference and laziness—this very thing makes it necessary that the true Initiate, like Hiram, goes to pray and work in the Temple, so that his sacrifice compensates and redeems the disinterest of the masses. **It is the image of Collective Karma rescued, at least partially, by those who dedicate themselves so much and so uninterruptedly that Superior Service is realized despite all**.
---
## **THE THREE LEVELS OF SPIRITUAL ASSAULT**
**37th Point**: We saw in the Legend of Hiram that, one after another, each traitorous companion demands from Hiram the Word of Master—that is, the **Knowledge and Power of the Adept**. We also saw the response given by Hiram, which was always the same: "You will not obtain it through violence but through disinterested work—Complete your time as Companion."
**38th Point**: We saw still that each of the three ambitious ones wounded Hiram and that the blows were directed, successively: **with the rule to the throat, with the square to the chest, with the mallet to the head**. We interpret:
### **FIRST ATTACKER: JUBELAS - IGNORANCE**
We interpret:
### **FIRST ATTACKER: JUBELAS - IGNORANCE**
The first attacker, **Jubelas**, symbolizes **IGNORANCE**, always pretentious and which, not being able to obtain revelation, corrupts Truth, attacking it in its **FORM** (WORD-THROAT) and spreads as truths the interpretations made "on a single dimension," which is what the rule shows, divided into 24 inches, image of the relativity of time and human empirical experience, originating from daily life (24 hours).
### **SECOND ATTACKER: JUBELOS - MENDACITY**
The second attacker, **Jubelos**, symbolizes **MENDACITY**, a more serious step than the previous, for the Ignorant deforms truth unconsciously, but the Liar corrupts it with deliberate purpose. He is the most abundant enemy, the enemy of the middle plane; he lies through fanaticism, he deludes and lies to himself through vanity or through premature desire to know what he does not yet deserve to know, he lies to others to appear wiser or holier than he is.
He is the image of the politician deforming justice for his own benefit, of the bad priest corrupting dogma for material ends, of the Initiate prostituting Truth for interest, vanity or ambition for powers. All of them attack Truth in the **CHEST**—that is, no longer in its FORM, like the previous one, but in its **LIFE**, in its effects, in its applications, in its **LAWS**.
### **THIRD ATTACKER: JUBELAM - CONSCIOUS EVIL**
The third attacker, **JUBELAM** (plural ending, careful), is the image of enemies who are fully conscious, knowers of Truth who deform it through **HATRED OF GOOD**; they are the Black Magicians, the Venal or Corrupted Associations, who attack Truth, no longer in its FORM, no longer in its LIFE or LAW, but even in its very **PRINCIPLE**.
---
## **THE PROGRESSIVE DAMAGE ANALYSIS**
**The Ignorant** is prejudicial to himself and his fellow being, in daily life, especially in the material and practical aspect.
**The Liar or Ill-intentioned** additionally wounds the MORAL bases of Society, of the Individual and of Evolution.
But **THE ENVIOUS**, human devil, tries to wound divinity itself, whether denying it, or deforming all its manifestations, to try to substitute them with the deification of Evil.
---
## **THE DEATH AND EXILE OF TRUTH**
**39th Point**: And this attack on form, on law or life, and finally on the very principle of Truth, produces **the death of Hiram**. **REVELATION flees from the place where it is not possible to translate itself as it should**, as Pythagoras said in his golden verses: "When injustice reigns, the wise man is silent and withdraws."
**40th Point**: But, if it is possible to commit a crime, it is not easy to bear the reaction that it always causes in the environment, and it is in the fulfillment of this Law that the exile of Truth (Body of Hiram) drags with it that of its murderers who, to hide it, have to flee "by night"—that is, with the dangers that the obscurantism originated by their own acts has caused.
---
---
## **THE PRESERVATION IN HIGH PLACES**
**41st Point**: The "apparently lost" truth, or if you will, its hidden conservators, remain like the body of Hiram, "buried" in a mountain—that is, in high, elevated and barren places, where Nature, for lack of other means, suffices to conserve the Truth that is **THE NATURAL LAW**.
---
## **SOLOMON'S SEARCH FOR TRUTH**
**42nd Point**: But **SOLOMON**, image as we know of Wisdom and SANCTITY, is concerned about the absence of the Spiritual Director of the Collectivity and sends twelve Companions, those who had "passed through temptation and conquered it," having also confessed it, which shows that they were sincere and humble.
**43rd Point**: These twelve Companions now remain divided into four groups of three individuals each. This is the image of carnal man (four is the concrete form) conscious of his three constituent principles—that is, theoretical knowers of doctrine who depart in search of Superior Truth believing that intellectual knowledge and a small conquered temptation suffices to merit such eternal prize.
---
## **THE UNIVERSAL SEARCH FOR TRUTH**
**44th Point**: Each Group goes toward one of the Cardinal Points; beautiful image that **truth can be found EVERYWHERE**, provided one seeks it with pure intentions and constancy never denied.
**45th Point**: One of the groups followed a river, toward the mountains—that is, departing from civilization, in which it lived and from the external life to which it was accustomed, it went "upstream" toward the **SOURCE of Life**, to find the Principle of Things.
---
## **FINDING THE DEFORMERS BEFORE THE TRUTH**
**46th Point**: But they did not find it. They found only the murderers—that is, whoever seeks Truth, long before finding it, will have to face in his investigations the diverse deformations and mutilations it suffered in time and space.
**47th Point**: And in a cavern they heard the lamentations of the murderers and their remorse asking for punishment. Image that we will also find in the search the **CAUSES** (murderers) of the deformations and we will see that they themselves brought punishment upon **THE INDIVIDUALS, THE SOCIETIES, THE NATIONS OR THE RACES** that committed them. **Unforgettable lesson**, or at least one that should be unforgotten by whoever seeks Truth and must learn to apply each particle of it that he is permitted to receive, if he does not want to be a "deformer" and pay the just price of such a fault.
---
## **THE SERVICE OF EXPOSING EVIL**
**Unforgettable lesson**, or at least one that should be unforgotten by whoever seeks Truth and must learn to apply each particle of it that he is permitted to receive, if he does not want to be a "deformer" and pay the just price of such a fault.
---
## **THE SERVICE OF EXPOSING EVIL**
**48th Point**: We also see that the Companions, even without having found Hiram (the total Truth) yet, nevertheless capture the murderers and bring them before whoever does justice. This shows us that **each of the most important stages of initiation will be that of serving in the sense of putting in evidence the cause of social and individual evils** and of conducting those causes, individual or collective, before the Kings or Initiates—that is, the Civil and Initiatic Powers that can correct the evil or prevent its propagation.
To make such action requires courage and struggle—that is, **will and daring**—and it is what, in this form, the Legend of Hiram also teaches us.
From the individual point of view of personal evolution, it is the image that we have to bring the Guilty ones (Passions, Errors, Illusions, Ambitions, etc.) before the Judge and Lord (CONSCIENCE AND WILL) so that it puts remedy and barriers to the deformant action that impedes the revelation of Truth.
**(To be continued)**

## **THE DEEPER SIGNIFICANCE FOR TRUTH PRESERVATION**
This systematic analysis of the Hiram legend appears in January 1943 precisely when understanding the preservation and recovery of truth becomes essential for post-war reconstruction. The detailed symbolic interpretation demonstrates how authentic spiritual wisdom recognizes and addresses the systematic deformation of truth while providing methodology for its recovery and protection.
### **The Pride Temptation Analysis**
**The Fifteen as Devil Card**: The systematic identification of fifteen conspirators with "the 15th card of the Tarot: 'The Devil'—the temptation of pride" provides precise understanding of how spiritual advancement can be corrupted through ego inflation. The recognition that this threatens "any Initiate, however elevated he may be and while he remains Initiate, not yet Adept" demonstrates how even advanced practitioners require constant vigilance against spiritual pride.
### **The Three Levels of Truth Attack**
**Progressive Spiritual Warfare**: The systematic analysis of Jubelas (Ignorance), Jubelos (Mendacity), and Jubelam (Conscious Evil) provides comprehensive understanding of how truth is systematically corrupted:
1. **Form Attack (Throat/Word)**: Ignorant deformation through single-dimensional interpretation
2. **Life Attack (Chest/Heart)**: Deliberate deformation for personal gain or vanity
3. **Principle Attack (Head/Mind)**: Conscious corruption through hatred of good itself
This provides systematic recognition of different levels of opposition to truth, enabling appropriate responses to each level.
### **The Collective Karma Rescue Understanding**
**Principle Attack (Head/Mind)**: Conscious corruption through hatred of good itself
This provides systematic recognition of different levels of opposition to truth, enabling appropriate responses to each level.
### **The Collective Karma Rescue Understanding**
**Compensatory Spiritual Service**: The systematic recognition that when "the great majority forgets, despises or neglects the devotional or spiritual part of life... this very thing makes it necessary that the true Initiate... goes to pray and work in the Temple, so that his sacrifice compensates and redeems the disinterest of the masses" provides understanding of how individual spiritual service can serve collective welfare. During post-war reconstruction, this principle demonstrates how dedicated individuals can provide spiritual service benefiting the entire community.
### **The Truth Preservation Methodology**
**High Places Conservation**: The systematic understanding that truth "apparently lost... remain like the body of Hiram, 'buried' in a mountain—that is, in high, elevated and barren places, where Nature, for lack of other means, suffices to conserve the Truth that is THE NATURAL LAW" provides methodology for preserving authentic spiritual wisdom during periods of social corruption or persecution.
### **The Systematic Search Process**
**Cardinal Points Investigation**: The systematic division into "four groups of three individuals each" going toward "one of the Cardinal Points" with the recognition that "truth can be found EVERYWHERE, provided one seeks it with pure intentions and constancy never denied" provides comprehensive methodology for truth recovery through systematic investigation in all directions while maintaining pure motivation.
---
## **THE POST-WAR TRUTH RECOVERY APPLICATIONS**
This systematic analysis provides essential methodology for:
**Pride Recognition**: Understanding how to recognize and address spiritual pride that corrupts even advanced practitioners, preventing ego inflation from undermining authentic spiritual development
**Truth Attack Analysis**: Learning to identify different levels of truth corruption—ignorant, mendacious, and consciously evil—enabling appropriate responses to each level of opposition
**Compensatory Service**: Understanding how individual spiritual dedication can compensate for collective spiritual negligence, providing methodology for serving collective welfare through individual practice
**Truth Preservation**: Learning systematic methods for preserving authentic spiritual wisdom during periods of social corruption through "high places" conservation and natural law recognition
**Systematic Investigation**: Understanding comprehensive methodology for truth recovery through systematic investigation in all directions while maintaining pure intentions and constant dedication
**Evil Exposure Service**: Learning the initiatic responsibility to "put in evidence the cause of social and individual evils" and conduct them before appropriate authorities for correction or prevention
This profound symbolic analysis demonstrates how traditional initiatic wisdom provides systematic methodology for recognizing, preserving, and recovering truth despite systematic opposition—exactly the kind of spiritual discrimination needed for post-war reconstruction requiring authentic rather than corrupted spiritual foundations for lasting civilizational advancement.

## **COMPLETION OF THE HOROSCOPE DIAGRAM**
In the previous article we completed our diagrams and all the Signs of the Zodiac and the planets that compose the **HOROSCOPE THEME** or **ASTROLOGICAL RADICAL** for the moment of birth were definitively placed.
As readers will be able to observe in the previous number of the Magazine (No. 8), the complete diagram also includes the classification of the Planets and their mutual aspects. We are going to begin today to study this technical part, which is the last we need before being able to **INTERPRET** a horoscope.
---
## **CARDINAL SIGNS CLASSIFICATION**
**CARDINALS**: You will remember that the Signs of the Zodiac were classified as Cardinal, Fixed, and Common.
We will inscribe, then, following the word "Cardinals," all the Planets that, in our theme, are found in the signs of **Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn**, which are the 4 signs called Cardinals (see Magazine No. 2).
In said theme, we find: **in Aries** – no Planet; **in Cancer** – are Jupiter and Venus; **in Libra** – no planets; **in Capricorn** – is the Wheel of Fortune.
We have, then, in **CARDINAL SIGNS**: **Jupiter, Venus and the Wheel of Fortune**.
---
## **FIXED SIGNS CLASSIFICATION**
**FIXED**: Using the same procedure for the Fixed Signs, which are those that follow the Cardinals in the natural order of the Zodiac, that is, **TAURUS, LEO, SCORPIO AND AQUARIUS**, we will see that in them are found the following Planets:
In **Fixed signs**: the **MOON, SUN and MERCURY**.
---
## **COMMON SIGNS CLASSIFICATION**
**COMMON**: Making the same operation for the Common Signs (**Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces**), we will see that we find in them the following planets:
In **Common Signs**: **SATURN, URANUS, NEPTUNE and MARS**.
And with this we have the **TEN PLANETS** of modern Astrology—that is, including Neptune, Uranus and the Wheel of Fortune—duly classified by their placement within the Cardinal, Fixed or Common Signs.
---
## **ELEMENTAL CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM**
And with this we have the **TEN PLANETS** of modern Astrology—that is, including Neptune, Uranus and the Wheel of Fortune—duly classified by their placement within the Cardinal, Fixed or Common Signs.
---
## **ELEMENTAL CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM**
But we also saw that the Signs of the Zodiac were classified in another form, which is by "element"—that is, Signs of Air, Fire, Water and Earth—and we will do the same as previously.
### **AIR SIGNS**
**SIGNS OF AIR**: **Gemini, Libra and Aquarius** are the Air Signs; we find in them the Planets: **URANUS and SATURN**, which we inscribe in the diagram.
### **FIRE SIGNS**
**SIGNS OF FIRE**: In the Fire Signs, which are: **Aries, Leo and Sagittarius**, we find the Planets: **MOON, SUN and MERCURY** (the three are in LEO).
### **WATER SIGNS**
**SIGNS OF WATER**: The Water Signs are **Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces**, and in them we find in this theme: **JUPITER and VENUS** (in Cancer), which we also note by putting the symbols of these planets in front of the word "WATER" in the "Elements" column of the Diagram.
### **EARTH SIGNS**
**SIGNS OF EARTH**: Finally, the Signs of the Earth Element are: **Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn**, and in them we find **MARS, NEPTUNE and THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE**, all of which we note symbolically as we did previously with the other classifications.
---
## **ESSENTIAL DIGNIFICATION SYSTEM**
We see in the diagram that the following classification is indicated by the word **"ESSENTIALLY DIGNIFIED"**, whose abbreviation is: **Es. Dig.**
### **When is a Planet Essentially Dignified?**
When it is **in its domicile**—that is, in the Sign of the Zodiac of which it is the natural Ruler—and this we can find in diagram "F" in number 3 of [translate:"LA INICIACIÓN"], by which we see that according to whether the birth was diurnal or nocturnal, we will have the following Domiciles:
- **Neptune** is considered domiciled or Es. Dig. in **Pisces**
- **Uranus** in the same conditions when it is in **Aquarius**
- **Saturn**, with diurnal domicile in **Aquarius** and nocturnal in **Capricorn**
- **Jupiter** with diurnal domicile in **Pisces** and nocturnal in **Sagittarius**
- **Mars** with diurnal domicile in **Aries** and nocturnal in **Scorpio**
- **Sun** with unique domicile in **Leo**
- **Venus** with diurnal domicile in **Taurus** and nocturnal in **Libra**
- **Mercury** with diurnal domicile in **Gemini** and nocturnal in **Virgo**
- **Luna** with unique domicile in **Cancer**
According to this rule, our horoscope example presents only one **ESSENTIALLY DIGNIFIED** Planet: **the SUN**, which is found in Leo, and we inscribe it, then, following the words Es. Dig. in the diagram.
---
## **ACCIDENTAL DIGNIFICATION SYSTEM**
We then find another classification, which is **"ACCIDENTALLY DIGNIFIED"**, whose abbreviation **Ac. Dig.** figures in the diagram. Let us see how it is determined.
Dig. in the diagram.
---
## **ACCIDENTAL DIGNIFICATION SYSTEM**
We then find another classification, which is **"ACCIDENTALLY DIGNIFIED"**, whose abbreviation **Ac. Dig.** figures in the diagram. Let us see how it is determined.
Many astrologers consider that a Planet is accidentally dignified in many cases that are governed by the following rules:
### **The Five Rules of Accidental Dignification**
**1st Rule** (Most Important): When the Planet is found in an **Angular House**—that is, in the **1st, 4th, 7th or 10th House**.
**2nd Rule**: When its march is direct in the signs (that it is not retrograde); this accidental dignification is little used.
**3rd Rule**: When the Planet is found closer than any other to the **Midheaven Point**—that is, in the 9th or 10th House, but very close to the Midheaven point.
**4th Rule**: Being one of the **Superior Planets** (Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter or Mars), it rises before the Sun, which is easily seen in the radical.
**5th Rule**: When there is **"mutual reception"** with a benefic planet—that is, that each of the two planets considered are found "in the domicile of the other," which constitutes a kind of mutual and simultaneous visit, without meeting, but which is proof of sympathy.
---
## **PRACTICAL APPLICATION IN THE EXAMPLE**
In the diagram of the example, to not complicate things, we have applied only **Rule 1**, which is the most important, and we have found **VENUS and the MOON** accidentally dignified for being found both in the **7th House**.
Regarding "mutual visits," or better said, "mutual reception" of domiciles, as astrologers say, there is none in our example.
Therefore, what refers to "Accidental Dignity" remains clarified, leaving readers also free to apply the five rules previously given for this matter, although practically, the 1st and 5th seem to us the only indispensable ones.
**Important Note**: We ask you to also notice that, as occurs in this example, two Planets can be dignified in THE SAME HOUSE OF THE THEME without therefore being in the same sign (Venus in Cancer and Moon in Leo, but both in the Seventh House of the example).
---
## **THE DEEPER SIGNIFICANCE FOR SYSTEMATIC ANALYSIS**
This systematic planetary classification appears in January 1943 precisely when understanding systematic analytical methodology becomes essential for post-war planning and individual development. The detailed technical procedures demonstrate how traditional astrological wisdom provides precise tools for understanding both individual characteristics and collective patterns through systematic classification rather than arbitrary interpretation.
### **The Threefold Classification System**
The detailed technical procedures demonstrate how traditional astrological wisdom provides precise tools for understanding both individual characteristics and collective patterns through systematic classification rather than arbitrary interpretation.
### **The Threefold Classification System**
**Cardinal-Fixed-Common Integration**: The systematic classification of all ten planets through Cardinal (initiative), Fixed (stability), and Common (adaptation) signs provides comprehensive understanding of how different planetary energies express through different modes of manifestation. During post-war reconstruction requiring coordination of initiative, stability, and adaptation, this threefold classification provides methodology for balancing different types of energy and activity.
### **The Fourfold Elemental System**
**Fire-Earth-Air-Water Balance**: The systematic classification through elemental groupings—Fire (inspiration), Earth (practical manifestation), Air (mental activity), Water (emotional sensitivity)—provides comprehensive understanding of how planetary energies operate through different elemental modes. This enables assessment of elemental balance or imbalance in individual charts, providing guidance for developing areas of weakness or moderating areas of excess.
### **The Dignification Analysis**
**Essential vs. Accidental Dignity**: The systematic distinction between Essential Dignification (planets in their natural domiciles) and Accidental Dignification (planets in favorable positions regardless of sign) provides precise methodology for assessing planetary strength and effectiveness. The detailed five-rule system for accidental dignity demonstrates how traditional astrological analysis provides multiple factors for comprehensive assessment rather than relying on single indicators.
### **The Technical Precision Requirement**
**Systematic Application of Rules**: The systematic application of classification rules with specific examples—"Venus in Cancer and Moon in Leo, but both in the Seventh House"—demonstrates how technical precision enables accurate analysis despite apparent complexity. The recommendation to focus on "the 1st and 5th" rules as "the only indispensable ones" provides practical guidance for essential vs. optional analytical factors.
### **The Mutual Reception Understanding**
**Planetary Sympathy Recognition**: The systematic explanation of mutual reception as "a kind of mutual and simultaneous visit, without meeting, but which is proof of sympathy" provides understanding of how planets can support each other through sign relationships even when not in direct aspect. This demonstrates how traditional astrology recognizes subtle planetary interactions beyond obvious geometric aspects.
---
## **THE POST-WAR ANALYTICAL APPLICATIONS**
This systematic methodology provides essential tools for:
This demonstrates how traditional astrology recognizes subtle planetary interactions beyond obvious geometric aspects.
---
## **THE POST-WAR ANALYTICAL APPLICATIONS**
This systematic methodology provides essential tools for:
**Comprehensive Classification**: Understanding how to organize complex information through systematic classification systems enabling comprehensive rather than fragmentary analysis
**Balance Assessment**: Learning to assess balance and imbalance through multiple classification systems, enabling identification of areas requiring development or moderation
**Technical Precision**: Understanding how to apply technical rules systematically while focusing on essential rather than merely optional factors for practical effectiveness
**Individual Analysis**: Learning systematic methodology for individual assessment serving both personal development and collective coordination through understanding of individual characteristics and capacities
**Planetary Relationship Recognition**: Understanding how different factors can interact and support each other through systematic relationships rather than merely obvious direct connections
**Practical Application Focus**: Learning to focus on essential principles while maintaining awareness of comprehensive analytical possibilities, enabling both thorough understanding and practical effectiveness
This systematic technical instruction demonstrates how traditional astrological wisdom provides precise analytical methodology serving both individual understanding and collective planning through comprehensive classification systems coordinated with practical application requirements—exactly the kind of systematic analysis needed for post-war reconstruction requiring both individual development and collective coordination based on accurate rather than arbitrary assessment of characteristics and capacities.

## Transcendent Psychology
### Mind, Universe and the Hermetic Principle
**By WRONSKY, A.M.**
---
## **THE DELIMITATION PROBLEM**
In recent years, some attempts have been made to delimit the true field of **Transcendent Psychology**. We cannot assure whether these attempts have had the success expected from them. The only thing certain is that they succeeded in awakening an **unhealthy curiosity** in the great public, always disposed to satisfy the calls of its egoism.
Before entering into the matter, it seems opportune to offer a synthesis, brief and stark, of the principal definitions that, about Psychology, have been formulated up to the present.
---
## **HISTORICAL ORIGINS OF PSYCHOLOGY**
Before entering into the matter, it seems opportune to offer a synthesis, brief and stark, of the principal definitions that, about Psychology, have been formulated up to the present.
---
## **HISTORICAL ORIGINS OF PSYCHOLOGY**
But above all we must advise that the term **Psychology** was used for the first time at the end of the 16th century by the celebrated **Protestant reformer**, friend and collaborator of Luther: **Felipe Schwaerzerd Melanchton**.
In earlier times, Psychology properly said formed a body of doctrine united to **Metaphysics**, sometimes to **Cosmology** and also to **Physics**.
**Aristotle** was the first to compose a **"Treatise of the Soul"** that can be considered as the precursor of modern Psychology.
However, this science, such as we understand it today, can be affirmed to have its origin in **Wundt**, who published in 1873 his famous treatise entitled **"Manual of Physiological Psychology."** According to Viqueira, this work refounds the diverse hypotheses, previously diluted in a multitude of metaphysical systems.
---
## **CONTEMPORARY DEFINITIONS ANALYSIS**
Let us now see the definitions:
- **Wundt**: "Psychology is the science of immediate experience."
- **Roustan**: "...the science of mental life and its laws."
- **Ladd**: "...the description and explanation of states of consciousness as such."
- **W. James**: "...the study of human consciousness."
- **Lavaissière**: "...the study of the phenomena of consciousness."
If we continued collating the other proposed definitions, of which we will spare the reader, we would verify that all of them can be reduced to these two:
1. **Psychology is the science that studies mental life.**
2. **Psychology is the science that studies the phenomena of consciousness.**
---
## **THE APPARENT CONTRADICTION**
At first sight one would say that both definitions are contradictory; while the first induces one to think that Psychology occupies itself with "all" the mind, the second would seem to affirm that it only occupies itself with "a part" of the mind, Consciousness.
**There is no such thing, however.**
The difference is that some suppose that the mind "divides" into parts, while others conceive it as a continuum.
Both points of view are equally exact, for if on one hand it is not possible to establish in the mind any solution of continuity, on the other it is perfectly reasonable to speak of a **conscious, unconscious and even superconscious** life, at least for normative and didactic purposes.
---
## **THE LIMITATION OF CONVENTIONAL PSYCHOLOGY**
But all these definitions do not suffice to encompass the entire conceptual sphere of **Transcendent Psychology**. And they do not suffice, because the mind, such as our psychology conceives it, represents a **function of the brain** and, consequently, a miraculous product of somatic activity.
And they do not suffice, because the mind, such as our psychology conceives it, represents a **function of the brain** and, consequently, a miraculous product of somatic activity.
**Rational and Experimental Psychology** has, in our judgment, the defect of **isolating the phenomena it studies**. As soon as we disconnect the relationships that unite the phenomenon with the universal medium, of which it forms part, we sacrifice the synthetic procedure to the comfort of the analytical procedure. And if the latter results the most indicated for the necessities of the Psychology we could call "scientific," it is not so for **Transcendent Psychology**.
---
## **THE FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE**
Let us see in what follows what are the conclusions of one and the other, regarding the definition of mind.
### **"Scientific" Psychology's Premise**
"Scientific" Psychology poses the following premise: When attention is directed to a determined object, how is perception produced? Is it something of the mind that reaches the object, or is it something of the object that reaches the mind? Said in other words: does the sphere of the mind reach to the object, or is it the object that penetrates the mind?
### **Transcendent Psychology's Premise**
**Transcendent Psychology**, on the other hand, affirms this other premise: The perceived object and the organ seat of perception are **"impregnated"** in a continuum which is called mind. More clearly, it postulates the **first Hermetic principle** which says: **THE UNIVERSE IS MENTAL**.
---
## **THE SYNTHESIS RESOLUTION**
An oriental observation of what both psychologies understand by mind will demonstrate to us, once more, that the discrepancies respond uniquely to the special point of view in which each one situates itself. In effect, "scientific" Psychology poses a **double interrogative** that expresses the two poles of the synthesis that preoccupies it:
- **First pole**: the mind reaches the object.
- **Second pole**: The object reaches the mind.
In contrast, **Transcendental Psychology**, based on the **theory of opposites** and on **analogical reasoning**, makes the **synthesis that reunites both poles**: **the universe is mind**. With this the opposites disappear and with them the interpretation difficulties that bring so many discussions in the terrain of philosophical speculation.
---
## **THE DEEPER QUESTION**
Barely solved this difficulty, a second immediately arises, no less important: **if the universe is mental, who or what expresses itself in this mind?** This poses the grave problem of the existence or non-existence of a Being or principle from which the universe emanated.
But before taking sides in such a thorny question, we will open a brief parenthesis to establish a convention with the reader. In what follows, we will abbreviate the expression **Transcendent Psychology** with the initials **p.t.**, just as we will represent with the lowercase **p.c.** the simplification of what we have called, very capriciously certainly, **"scientific" Psychology**.
---
## **THE WORLD COMPOSITION CONTRADICTION**
Let us continue. For **p.c.**, the universe or sensible world is something like a **symbiosis between matter and energy**; in contrast, the biological unity which is called man contains a **third principle**: **life**, which does not seem reducible either to energy or to matter.
Let us begin by noting an **evident contradiction**: if the world is a compound of matter and energy, man is something distinct from the world, since he is composed in addition of the **principle life**, which does not seem to be contained in the former. If it is, **where did life come from?**; if it is not, **how can the universe be something different from itself?**
**(To be continued)**
---
## **THE DEEPER SIGNIFICANCE FOR CONSCIOUSNESS STUDIES**
This systematic analysis of Transcendent Psychology appears in January 1943 precisely when understanding the relationship between consciousness and reality becomes essential for post-war reconstruction of human understanding. The detailed comparison between conventional and transcendent approaches to psychology demonstrates how fundamental philosophical premises determine practical approaches to human development and collective organization.
### **The Historical Development Analysis**
**16th Century Origins to Contemporary Science**: The systematic tracing from Melanchton (16th century) through Aristotle's "Treatise of the Soul" to Wundt's 1873 "Manual of Physiological Psychology" demonstrates how psychological understanding has evolved from integrated metaphysical approaches to specialized scientific methodology. During post-war periods requiring both scientific rigor and spiritual understanding, this historical analysis provides context for integrating different approaches without losing either scientific validity or spiritual depth.
### **The Definition Synthesis Recognition**
**Mental Life vs. Consciousness Phenomena**: The systematic analysis showing how apparently contradictory definitions—"Psychology is the science that studies mental life" vs. "Psychology is the science that studies the phenomena of consciousness"—actually represent different but valid perspectives demonstrates how apparent intellectual conflicts can be resolved through understanding different levels of analysis. The recognition that both "continuous" and "divided" approaches to mind are "equally exact" provides methodology for intellectual integration.
### **The Isolation vs. Connection Problem**
The recognition that both "continuous" and "divided" approaches to mind are "equally exact" provides methodology for intellectual integration.
### **The Isolation vs. Connection Problem**
**Synthetic vs. Analytic Procedures**: The systematic recognition that "Rational and Experimental Psychology has... the defect of isolating the phenomena it studies" while "Transcendent Psychology" maintains connection with "the universal medium" demonstrates how methodological approaches affect understanding. During reconstruction requiring both detailed analysis and comprehensive synthesis, this distinction provides guidance for choosing appropriate approaches according to specific purposes.
### **The Hermetic Principle Application**
**"The Universe is Mental"**: The systematic application of the first Hermetic principle to resolve the perception problem—whether "the mind reaches the object" or "the object reaches the mind"—through recognizing that both "are impregnated in a continuum which is called mind" demonstrates how traditional metaphysical principles can provide solutions to contemporary psychological problems. This provides methodology for applying traditional wisdom to modern scientific questions.
### **The Opposites Theory Resolution**
**Synthesis Through Transcendence**: The systematic demonstration that "Transcendental Psychology, based on the theory of opposites and on analogical reasoning, makes the synthesis that reunites both poles" shows how apparent contradictions can be resolved through higher-level understanding. During post-war periods requiring resolution of ideological conflicts, this synthetic methodology provides tools for transcending rather than merely choosing between opposing positions.
### **The Fundamental Question Recognition**
**Being and Manifestation**: The systematic recognition that resolving the mind-universe relationship immediately raises "the grave problem of the existence or non-existence of a Being or principle from which the universe emanated" demonstrates how psychological questions connect with ultimate metaphysical questions. This prevents superficial approaches that ignore fundamental philosophical implications.
---
## **THE POST-WAR CONSCIOUSNESS APPLICATIONS**
This systematic analysis provides essential methodology for:
**Integrated Psychology**: Understanding how to coordinate scientific and transcendent approaches to psychological study without compromising either empirical rigor or spiritual depth
**Philosophical Synthesis**: Learning to resolve apparent intellectual contradictions through higher-level synthesis rather than forced choice between opposing positions
**Methodological Selection**: Understanding how to choose analytical or synthetic approaches according to specific purposes while maintaining awareness of their respective limitations and applications
**Consciousness Research**: Learning systematic approaches to consciousness studies that integrate phenomenological analysis with metaphysical understanding
**Educational Integration**: Understanding how to coordinate conventional psychological education with transcendent understanding serving both practical competence and spiritual development
**Ideological Resolution**: Learning methodology for transcending ideological conflicts through recognition of higher-level synthesis rather than perpetual opposition between partial perspectives
This profound psychological analysis demonstrates how traditional metaphysical principles can provide solutions to contemporary scientific and philosophical problems through systematic integration rather than forced separation—exactly the kind of consciousness studies methodology needed for post-war reconstruction requiring both scientific competence and spiritual understanding integrated through systematic rather than arbitrary approaches to human development and collective organization.

## Summary and Integration: The January 1943 Vision
### Post-Victory Spiritual Reconstruction Through Systematic Development
**Synthesis by La Redacción**
---
## **THE COMPREHENSIVE JANUARY 1943 ACHIEVEMENT**
This January 1943 issue marks a pivotal moment in La Iniciación's development, representing the journal's transition from wartime emergency spiritual guidance to systematic post-victory reconstruction methodology. The expansion from mimeographed to professional printed format, doubling of circulation, and comprehensive curriculum demonstrates how authentic spiritual principles naturally expand when properly applied during periods of historical opportunity.
---
## **THE SYSTEMATIC EDUCATIONAL INTEGRATION**
### **Spiritual Authority Independence**
The systematic presentation of the **Kabbalistic Order of the Rose Cross** and **Suddha Dharma Mandalam** demonstrates how authentic spiritual authority can be established independently from European institutional control while maintaining traditional transmission effectiveness. The detailed documentation of South American spiritual independence provides essential methodology for post-war spiritual reconstruction requiring authentic rather than merely institutional authority.
### **Holistic Healing Methodology**
The comprehensive **Astro Diagnosis Study** demonstrates how traditional healing wisdom can be systematically applied according to individual constitutional requirements while integrating contemporary physiological understanding. The emphasis on "God's laws" as "the only and real health" provides foundational philosophy for natural healing approaches serving both individual recovery and collective healthcare optimization.
### **Truth Preservation and Recovery**
The emphasis on "God's laws" as "the only and real health" provides foundational philosophy for natural healing approaches serving both individual recovery and collective healthcare optimization.
### **Truth Preservation and Recovery**
The advanced **Hiram Legend analysis** provides systematic methodology for recognizing, preserving, and recovering truth despite systematic opposition through ignorance, mendacity, and conscious evil.
