"The Guardian of the Threshold of the mind is similar to the smoke of the flame. The Guardian of the Threshold of the mind is a terrible demonic creature. It lives by reacting against the exterior world with waves of pleasure and pain, with waves of likes and dislikes, and with waves of hatred, envy, greed, slander, selfishness, etc." —Samael Aun Weor, Igneous Rose

The first ordeal that the candidate for spiritual initiation must overcome is the Guardian of the Threshold. Through meditative understanding of the nature of the mind, emotions, and will, we can conquer the false self within us, allowing the light of the inner spirit to shine.​
