The Revolution of Beelzebub by Samael Aun Weor is a profound guidebook for any serious student of the Gnostic esoteric work. It is also a significant guidepost for anyone not currently in a formal esoteric school, but with deep inquietudes about life as we normally understand it.
Life can never explain itself in terms of itself. To be born, to work, to suffer, to chase after that which is pleasant, and eventually to die, is not the entire reason of our existence.
Samael Aun Weor gives a massive scope and perspective in his teachings that encompasses the entire history of creation, the true meaning of the fall of mankind, the keys to understand Kabbalah, alchemy, astrology, meditation, theology, religions, magic, psychology, medicine, and the significance of our life on Earth as humans in this particular time.
The Revolution of Beelzebub does justice to this scope, and it is enthusiastically recommended as one of the introductory books for those new to the teachings of Samael Aun Weor.
Beginning several epochs in the past, an epoch being 311.04 trillion years, Samael Aun Weor relates the most ancient history imaginable: a time when the Prince of Demons, Beelzebub, was a handsome carefree bohemian type who was seduced down the path of darkness. His story is traced throughout many epochs as he commits more deeply to the path of darkness, selfishness and degeneration until he is transformed into a horrible beast that is the famous Prince of Demons.
Samael Aun Weor with great courage, ingenuity and compassion begins to investigate this demon, and seeing his essential nature, guides him on the path of repentance.
Woven throughout the book are teachings that clarify the sometimes subtle difference between white and black magic, and many keys are openly given to actively walk the path of white magic, which is the Christic path of transformation. The poetry of love is also present in this book, offering inspiration and love for the ones who’s hearts are open to receive it.
