There are thousands of treatises on Gnosis, Tantra, and Kabbalah. All merely theory. Now, at last, the practice is explained in a way that is easy to understand, and it is proven that the different methods of the different traditions are based on the same spiritual foundations and insights.3 traditions, 2 paths, 1 goal. All three systems are explicable in terms of the mystery of the serpent. Kundalini Shakti - the serpent of the Tantrists - is the serpent of the Gnostics - is the serpent of the Kabbalists - is the manifestation of the power that brings something into being: an image, a thought, a feeling, a decision. The serpent is the power of imagination, the power of conception, the creative power of thought with which every action begins. It is also the manifestation of the power with which one conquers unwanted ideas and impulses. It is power and force at the same time. This is how you get a grip on the serpent. In the beginning is always the word - that is, the thought. A thought can seduce, fertilise, or oppose the power of an unwanted thought. Tantra, yoga, and sex magic. Gnosis means knowledge. It does not concern knowledge of facts, but rather knowledge of yourself. Not who I am, or what I am, or how I am - it concerns the realisation: "I AM" as the centre and bearer of consciousness. Around this centre, those who are awakened arrange their subtle organs and limbs. The God who can recycle himself. The flesh of spirit and soul. Franz Bardon describes the frequencies of the cosmic language with which Kabbalists shape themselves and work magic as the effective power of colour, sound, sensation, and quality. These powers are linked to letters, which serve as containers and building blocks. The astrological code as the key to understanding Bardon's system of Kabbalah.

Born in 1939 in Vienna (Austria), Stejnar has been engaged in magic and mysticism since his early youth. Through numerous publications and media appearances he became well known at home and abroad. Next to running his own jewellery store he directed for twenty years the "Institute for scientific destiny research" and is founder of Gnostic Hermeticism, which carries the old Traditions forward into the third millenary. He is particularly concerned with Freemasonry and Astrology, as this is where he found the interface that links the world of the spirit with the world of matter, and thus the world of esotericism with the world of science. Stejnar is reckoned to be the successor of famous magician Franz Bardon, and he is mentioned in the preface of the new edition of George R.S. Mead's work on Gnosis "Fragments of a Faith Forgotten" next to great minds such as C.G.Jung, Mozart, Hegel, Nietzsche, Rilke, Kafka and next to adepts such as Jakob Böhme, Papus, Eliphas Levi and Aleister Crowley to be the last of the major gnostics.
