Between 1950 and 1977 - merely twenty-seven years - Samael Aun Weor wrote over seventy books and established the international Gnostic Movement across the entire span of Latin America: stretching across twenty countries and an area of more than 21,000,000 kilometers, with Gnostic schools everywhere, even in places where there is no electricity or post offices.

During those twenty-seven years, he experienced all the extremes that humanity could give him, from adoration to death threats, and in spite of the enormous popularity of his books and lectures, he renounced an income, refused recognitions, walked away from accolades, and consistently turned away those who would worship him. He held as friends both presidents and peasants, and yet remained a mystery to all.

When one reflects on the effort and will it requires to perform even day to day tasks, it is astonishing to consider the herculean efforts required to accomplish what he did in such a short time. But, there is a reason: he was a man who knew who he was, and what he had to do.
