The rune RITA reminds us of the importance of the law, both the earthly law, and the divine cosmic law known as karma. We must pay what we owe with love, good deeds, conscious remorse and voluntary sufferings, or else it will inevitably be bitterness.
We must always remember our Divine Mother Kundalini, we cannot eliminate the ego without her, we cannot progress at all without her.
Samael Aun Weor relates an experience he had of entering consciously into the infernos and seeing a corpse that was his “evil Adam” lying in a ditch, while his Divine Mother dressed in mourning clothes like the Sorrowful Mother. She tells him with love that there is nothing left for her to extract from that aggregate, he is dead.
With the work of mystical death we die to the multiple egoic forces within, liberating the Essence and becoming unified psychologically and spiritually. This allows us to not be subject to the law of karma, but in the meantime, we must work with this law.
“Do we humans know what justice is? Not in any way. There is just one, exclusively one, only one within oneself, which knows what justice is, and that is God. It is God, because He is Law and Justice in himself and the Absolute, Supreme Source, from where everything has sprung forth. Just as the truth only comprehends the truth, so is it that Justice only comprehends itself”
-Arnold Krumm-Heller “Huiracocha”
The rune RITA helps us to die to the ego by activating conscious remorse and repentance. Repentance as the natural remedy for the suffering we feel in life. This is not the same as guilt, shame, regret etc. Remorse and repentance are emotions of a higher octave which bring us closer to our Being.
This rune is related with the astrology sign of Capricorn and the planet Saturn. The symbol of Saturn is the the cross above the crescent, showing the nature of matter bearing down on our soul. We also see this with the apostle Andrew and the X cross of sacrifice. The suffering of matter, the suffering in our lives is a result of our past actions, either in this life or a previous life. The key is repentance in light and love to transform our matter, our suffering into the wisdom and love of Christ.
Practice
“In the Rune FA we raise our arms; in the Rune UR we open our legs; in the Rune DORN we put one hand on our waist; in the Rune OS the legs are opened and the hands are on the waist. In the present Rune RITA we must open one leg and one arm; thus, in this position, our gnostic students will see that they, in themselves, are the runic letters, just as they are described.”
-Samael Aun Weor
“When will people comprehend all the mysteries of the Rune Rita? Certainly this is the rune of the Law. The fundamental mantras of the Rune Rita are: RRRAAA… RRREEE… RRRIII… RRROOO… RRRUUU…, we have to put ourselves in the position (as shown in the picture) and prolong the sound of each letter. This practice must be done each time it is considered convenient, once a day for a period of time in a rhythmic and equilibrated way.”
-Samael Aun Weor
Place the left hand on the left hip and stand with left leg out to form an R.
Use the following mantras:
RA RE RI RO RU
If we wish to deepen this practice we can pray to our inner Being and our Divine Mother to help us to experience conscious remorse.
