Samael Aun Weor (March 6, 1917 \u2013 December 24, 1977), born V\u00edctor Manuel G\u00f3mez Rodr\u00edguez, was an author, lecturer and founder of the Universal Christian Gnostic Movement. His teaching of ‘The Doctrine of Synthesis’ of all religions in both their esoteric and exoteric aspects has been called neo-Gnostic by the historian of esotericism Arthur Versluis and called by the historian Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Mayer “a science of consciousness or knowledge that may be attained through certain techniques”.<\/p>\n
He is known internationally as the founder of the Gnostic Movement and author of over seventy books about the fundamental root knowledge from which all our most important philosophical, scientific, and religious traditions blossomed. In recent years, due to the efforts made by a small handful of people who arrived in English-speaking countries in order to share their experience and enthusiasm for the practical and effective science of Gnosis, interest in Samael Aun Weor has been growing. Each year sees new schools, new students, and new interest in the man and his message of compassionate service, individual development, and the urgent need for radical change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
