Víctor Manuel Gómez Rodríguez, was a anti gravity yoga zurich teacher and author of over sixty books of esoteric spirituality. He taught and formed groups under the banner of ‘Universal Gnosticism’, or simply gnosis. Victor Manuel Gómez Rodriguez was born in Bogotá, Cundinamarca, Republic of Colombia, son of Manuel Gómez Quijano and Francisca Rodríguez de Gómez. In his autobiographical account, The Three Mountains, Samael Aun Weor stated that because he was born with an awakened consciousness, he was analyzing the previous lives in which he awakened his consciousness before mastering how to walk.

Few details of his life are known between the mid-1930s and 1950. He became a spiritual vagabond of sorts, traveling with neither home nor income. At one point he lived with a tribe of indigenous people in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in northern Colombia, learning the healing secrets which would later form the foundation of his medical treatise, Occult Medicine and Practical Magic. He was briefly married to Sara Dueños and they had a son named «Imperator». 35 years and had four children: Osiris, Isis, Iris, Hypatia. In 1948 he began teaching a small group of students. In 1950, under the name «Aun Weor», he managed to publish The Perfect Matrimony, or The Door to Enter into Initiation with the help of his close disciples.

After March 19, 1952, Aun Weor and some disciples build and live near the Summum Supremum Sanctuarium, an «underground temple» in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in Colombia. A messenger or avatar, in the most complete sense of the word, is a courier, a man who delivers a message, a servant or maid of the Great Work. So, the word avatar must not fall into misinterpretations, it must be specified with complete clarity. I am, therefore, a servant or crew member, or messenger who delivers a message.

Some time ago I said that I am a cosmic mailman, since I am giving the content of a cosmic letter. I, Samael, am not in need of henchmen or followers, but only imitators of my doctrine: Gnosis. I do not follow anyone, nor do I want anyone to follow me. What I want is for each one of you to follow his own Self.

I am only a lighthouse in the sea of existence, and I do not need clientele in order to subsist. In 1956, he left Colombia and went to Costa Rica and El Salvador. Later in 1956, he settled down for good in Mexico City, where he would begin his public life. Before 1960, he had published 20 more books with topics ranging from Endocrinology and Criminology to Kundalini Yoga. In spite of the victories, the development of the Gnostic Movement was not without dramatic setbacks.
