Researchers of contemporary Gnosticism who might be interested in the gnosis of Samael Aun Weor and the Gnostic Anthropology movement can find here pointers and links to pursue in their research.
Samael Aun Weor (1917-1977) wrote about a huge variety of topics, but the essential theme of his writings and lectures was self-realisation of the individual, understood as the full development of one’s human potential. Serious researchers of his work on the long term will find it useful to develop a reading knowledge of Spanish to be able to judge by themselves directly from his works and not have to rely on translations, which often do not adequately convey the intended meaning. Researchers searching for information are advised to use phrase search under “Samael Aun Weor” when using search engines, but to try also “Weor” or “Aun Weor” when using bibliographical databases or bookshop or library catalogues, since there is no consistency in how his name as an author is indexed. Adding a few restrictively specific words will help retrieve more relevant results. For example, if what is sought is a biography of Samael Aun Weor in English and the search engine used is Google, or some other system operating in a similar way, enter the following query in the search box: “Samael Aun Weor” +biography. If too many results are retrieved try adding more words to make the query more restrictive: “Samael Aun Weor” +biography +gnosis +gnostic +anthropology If on the other hand no biographies are retrieved by adding the term biography, it may just be that any biographical articles published are not labelled biography. In that case try instead any words you would expect to appear on a biographical note, e.g. wrote, born, lived, lectured, or died. Thus, it might do the trick to use the following search query: “Samael Aun Weor” +wrote Good luck with your search! |
