“Master Serapis, Master of the Ray of Venus, is another Child of Resurrection. He is of an incalculable age; he directs the world art.” – Samael Aun Weor, The Seven Words
Serapis, Greco-Egyptian deity of the Sun first encountered at Memphis, where his cult was celebrated in association with that of the sacred Egyptian bull Apis (who was called Osorapis when deceased). He was thus originally a god of the underworld but was reintroduced as a new deity with many Hellenic aspects by Ptolemy I Soter (reigned 305–284 bce), who centered the worship of the deity at Alexandria.
The Serapeum at Alexandria was the largest and best known of the god’s temples. The cult statue there represented Serapis as a robed and bearded figure regally enthroned, his right hand resting on Cerberus (the three-headed dog who guards the gate of the underworld), while his left held an upraised scepter. Gradually Serapis became revered not only as a Sun god (“Zeus Serapis”) but also as a lord of healing and of fertility. His worship was established in Rome and throughout the Mediterranean, following the trade routes and being particularly prominent in the great commercial cities. Among the Gnostics (early Christian heretics who believed that matter is evil and the spirit is good) he was a symbol of the universal godhead. The destruction of the Serapeum at Alexandria by Theophilus, the patriarch of Alexandria, and his followers in 391 ce—together with the obliteration of other pagan temples (all with the encouragement of Emperor Theodosius I)—signaled the final triumph of Christianity not only in Egypt but throughout the Roman Empire.

The word sex is derived from the Latin “secare,” meaning “to cut off.” The roots of the word indicate the androgynous nature of our ancestors as described in all religions, and even by Plato, and is hidden in symbols in every mystical tradition. Sexual cooperation between man and woman only began when the two halves of the androgynous being were “cut off” from one another. Vestiges of this ancient past are readily visible in the physical shadows of the man’s inert nipples and the woman’s clitoris, which is a shrunken penis. Thus, “sex” refers to the joining of what was separated long ago: male and female. Yet, there are levels and levels of sexual activity, ranging from the simplest forms of sexual union among minerals, plants, and animals, up to the divine sexual acts that create planets, solar systems, and universes. Sex is far more than what modern society thinks it is. In reality, sex is sacred, and a source of incredible, untapped power. Love and Sex
