V.M. Litelantes

Co-Founder of Modern Gnosis

Writing in his Christmas Message of 1954, Samael Aun Weor speaks of his esoteric collaboration with his wife, Litelantes: This Lady-Adept enjoys continuous consciousness and through innumerable incarnations has achieved the development and invigoration of certain occult faculties, which amongst other things, allow her to recall her past lives, and the history of the planet and its races.
She has been the esoteric collaborator of the Venerable Master Samael Aun Weor discovering the 'states of Jinas' mentioned by Don Mario Rosa de Luna and Arnoldo Krumm-Heller.
She collaborated in the scientific investigation of the vegetable elementals, which are referred to in the 'Treatise of Occult Medicine'.
This powerful seer carries in her mind all the wisdom of the centuries, and with her clairvoyant faculties has collaborated with the Master Samael, studying the different elemental regions of nature.
