“Our healing system is spiritual. It does not conflict with physicians; everyone can have faith in our methods and consult their doctor in the physical world.
It is clear that the masters of medicine heal the vital body by applying medicines to it; thus, later on the outcome is the healing of the physical organism.“
-Samael Aun Weor, Beyond Death
To heal means “to become whole”, and this process occurs physically, energetically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Healing and medicine belong to a specific cosmic ray, with its own attendant masters. These masters of medicine can assist us if pray for help with a specific request for healing.
Paracelsus
“The art of healing comes from nature, not from the physician. Therefore the physician must start from nature, with an open mind. The ultimate cause of human disease is the consequence of our transgression of the universal laws of life.
There is an earthly sun, which is the cause of all heat, and all who are able to see may see the sun; and those who are blind and cannot see him may feel his heat. There is an Eternal Sun, which is the source of all wisdom, and those whose spiritual senses have awakened to life will see that sun and be conscious of His existence; but those who have not attained spiritual consciousness may yet feel His power by an inner faculty which is called Intuition.”
-Paracelsus
The Renaissance physician, alchemist and philosopher Paracelsus was born Theophrastus Philippus Aureolus Bombastus von Hohenheim in Einsielden, Switzerland circa 1493. He followed in the footsteps of his father, and became a physician.
Paracelus studied medicine at various universities and travelled widely throughout Europe studying, practicing medicine, and writing. Appointed city physician and professor at the University of Basel in 1526, he embarked on an ambitious program of lectures and writing.
His bold calls for reform of medicine alienated many. Finally, public feeling rose so high against him that a warrant was issued for his arrest and he was forced to flee the city.
This pattern of finding a position and patronage through his obvious brilliance and amazing cures followed by alienation and rejection because of his frequent attacks on medical and philosophical orthodoxy continued throughout his life.
Nevertheless, he found time to dictate and write many books on medicine, magic, alchemy and occult philosophy. It is said that Paracelsus died in Salzburg on September 24, 1541, but according to the Gnostic tradition he still lives with the same physical body, having accomplished the Great Work of Alchemy.

Galen
“The physician is only nature’s assistant.
The best physician is also a philosopher.
Look to the nervous system as the key to maximum health.”
-Galen
Galen was born in Pergamos in Asia Minor in the year 129 C.E. After receiving medical training in Smyrna and Alexandria, he gained fame as a surgeon to the gladiators of Pergamos. He was eventually summoned to Rome to be the physician of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius. Galen spent the rest of his life at the Court writing an enormous corpus of medical works until his death in 201 C.E.
Taking Hippocrates’ notions of the humors and pathology, Galen incorporated the anatomical knowledge of noted Alexandrians such as Herophilus of Chalcedon (335-280 B.C.E.). A supporter of observation and reasoning, he was one of the first experimental physiologists, researching the function of the kidneys and the spinal cord in controlled experiments.
Galen’s works in many ways came to symbolize Greek medicine to the medical scholars of Europe and the Middle East for the next fifteen centuries. His message of observation and experimentation were largely lost, however, and his theories became dogma throughout the West. In the mid-16th century, however, his message that observation and investigation were required for through medical research began to emerge, and modern methods of such research finally arose.
Hippocrates
“These kind of doctors (the Gnostics) are named ‘Spirituals’ because they can command the spirits of herbs and roots. Thus, they (the Gnostic doctors) force the spirits to give liberty to the sick people who they have put into imprisonment.
Just like the judge who places a prisoner in the iron trap, this judge is the doctor of this prisoner, because having the keys of the trap, he can close and open the lock at any time that he so pleases. Hippocrates is one of those who belonged to this class of doctors.”
– Paracelsus, Parami-prologo III
Hippocrates was Greek physician in around the 3rd century BC. He is called the “father of medicine” and most famous for the Hippocratic Oath which doctors to this day still recite.
HIPPOCRATIC OATH
I swear by Apollo the physician, and Asclepius, and Hygieia and Panacea and all the gods and goddesses as my witnesses, that, according to my ability and judgement, I will keep this Oath and this contract:
To hold him who taught me this art equally dear to me as my parents, to be a partner in life with him, and to fulfill his needs when required; to look upon his offspring as equals to my own siblings, and to teach them this art, if they shall wish to learn it, without fee or contract; and that by the set rules, lectures, and every other mode of instruction, I will impart a knowledge of the art to my own sons, and those of my teachers, and to students bound by this contract and having sworn this Oath to the law of medicine, but to no others.
I will use those dietary regimens which will benefit my patients according to my greatest ability and judgement, and I will do no harm or injustice to them.
I will not give a lethal drug to anyone if I am asked, nor will I advise such a plan; and similarly I will not give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion.
In purity and according to divine law will I carry out my life and my art.
I will not use the knife, even upon those suffering from stones, but I will leave this to those who are trained in this craft.
Into whatever homes I go, I will enter them for the benefit of the sick, avoiding any voluntary act of impropriety or corruption, including the seduction of women or men, whether they are free men or slaves.
Whatever I see or hear in the lives of my patients, whether in connection with my professional practice or not, which ought not to be spoken of outside, I will keep secret, as considering all such things to be private.
So long as I maintain this Oath faithfully and without corruption, may it be granted to me to partake of life fully and the practice of my art, gaining the respect of all men for all time. However, should I transgress this Oath and violate it, may the opposite be my fate.

Hermes Trismegistus
“Hermes Trismegistus, the thrice-great god ibis of Thoth, author of The Emerald Tablet, wrote the following sentence, “I give you love, within which is contained all the sum of wisdom…”
-Samael Aun Weor, The Perfect Matrimony
Hermes the “thrice-great”, a figure in Hellenistic Greece and Egypt, related with the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth. Author of the Emerald Tablet.
The Emerald Tablet by Hermes Trismegistus, translated by Idries Shah
1) The truth, certainty, truest, without untruth.
2 )What is above is like what is below. What is below is like what is above. The miracle of unity is to be attained.
3) Everything is formed from the contemplation of unity, and all things come about from unity, by means of adaptation.
4) Its parents are the Sun and Moon.
5) It was borne by the wind and nurtured by the Earth.
6) Every wonder is from it
6a) and its power is complete.
7) Throw it upon earth,
7a) and earth will separate from fire. The impalbable separated from the palpable.
8) Through wisdom it rises slowly from the world to heaven. Then it descends to the world combining the power of the upper and the lower.
9 )Thus you will have the illumination of all the world, and darkness will disappear.
10) This is the power of all strength- it overcomes that which is delicate and penetrates through solids.
11a) This was the means of the creation of the world.
12) And in the future wonderful developements will be made, and this is the way.
13) I am Hermes the Threefold Sage, so named because I hold the three elements of all wisdom.
14) And thus ends the revelation of the work of the Sun.
(Shah 1964: 198)
Arnold Krumm-Heller “Huiracocha”
German doctor, occultist, Rosicrucian, and founder of Fraternitas Rosicruciana Antiqua (FRA), a Hermetic order in Brazil. He also was a German naval intelligence agent during the Mexican Revolution and World War I. A prolific writer, he published more than 30 esoteric books, novellas, history books, biographies, as well as countless articles in his magazine Rosa Cruz and similar publications. (Wikipedia)
“I was already an adolescent of eighteen springs in this present reincarnation when I was granted the high honor of entering into the ancient Rosicrucian School. This meritorious institution was happily founded by the excellent Sir Doctor Arnold Krumm-Heller, medic/colonel of the glorious Mexican army, illustrious veteran of the Mexican revolution, eminent professor of the Medical University of Berlin, Germany. He was also a notable scientist and extraordinary polyglot.
As an impetuous boy, I presented myself with certain arrogance in that “Aula Lucis,” which was directed then by an illustrious gentleman of noble intelligence. Without indulging myself into giving many compliments, neither beating around the bush, I frankly confess and speak plainly that I started out arguing and I ended up studying.
In the end, what seemed best to me was to go near the wall and place myself at the corner of the classroom enraptured in ecstasy.
It is not irrelevant to state in a great manner, yet without much pomposity, that saturated with many intricate theories of substantial content, I only yearned with infinite longings to find my ancient way: the path of the “razor’s edge.” By excluding very carefully all pseudo-pietism and vain, insubstantial, empty words of ambiguous chatter, I decisively resolved to combine theory and practice.
Without prostituting intelligence for gold, I certainly preferred to humbly prostrate myself before the Creator, Demiurge of the universe.
I joyfully found an inexhaustible, wealthy spring of exquisite splendors in the books of Krumm-Heller, Hartmann, Eliphas Levi, Steiner, Max Heindel, etc. Without excessive verbosity, I emphatically, seriously, and sincerely declare that in such an epoch of my current existence I methodically studied the whole Rosicrucian library.
Along my way, I was searching with infinite longings for a sojourner who could possess some precious balm in order to heal my painful heart.
I was suffering frightfully and crying out in solitude while invoking the holy masters of the great White Lodge. The great Kabir Jesus said, “Knock, and it shall be opened unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you, Seek, and ye shall find.”
In the name of That, which is the Reality, I declare the following: by accomplishing the teachings of the Christian gospel, I asked, and I received; I sought, and I found; I knocked, and it was opened to me.”
-Samael Aun Weor, The Three Mountains
Angel Adonai
The word Adonai means “my Lord” in Hebrew. Adon is lord. Adonai or Adony means “my Lord.” Adonai is another Tetragrammaton or “four lettered name.” The Conjuration of the Four addresses the Tetragrammaton. Tetra means “four” and gramma means “graphic or letter.”
Tetragrammaton therefore means the “four lettered name of God,” which we always state is Iod Hei Vav Hei, yet here we also say it is Adonai or Adony, since Adonai also has four letters, namely Aleph, Daleth, Nun and Iod. In other words Adonai is another Tetragrammaton or another Tetragram.
The Tetragram Adonai relates to the world of Malkuth, which is symbolized by a cross in the middle of a circle. The cross relates with the four elements, with the four cardinal points. These elements in alchemy are salt, sulfur, mercury, and azoth.
Angel Raphael
(Hebrew) from the root, which means “heal”, “cure”. The second part is el, “God”. An important angel in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In the book of Tobit and book of Enoch.
Often the unnamed angel in John 5:1-4 is attributed to Raphael.
“After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
For an angel [Raphael] went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.”
