What spiritual risks exist in cinemas, theaters, and nightclubs?
Answer from the V.M. Samael Aun Weor and the magazine.
It has already been proven by observation and experience that the absence of spiritual values produces degeneration.
Contemporary painting, music, sculpture, drama, etc., are nothing but the product of degeneration.
The initiates of other times, the sacred dancers, the true artists of the great ages no longer appear on the stage. Now, only sick automatons, degenerate singers, rebels without a cause, etc., appear on the stage.
Ultramodern theaters are the antithesis of the sacred theaters of the great mysteries of Egypt, Greece, India, etc.
The art of these times is dark; it is the antithesis of Light, and modern artists are dark.
Surrealist and Marxist painting, ultramodern sculpture, Afro-Cuban music, and modern dancers are the result of human degeneration. The boys and girls of the new generations receive, through their three degenerated brains, enough information to become swindlers, thieves, murderers, bandits, homosexuals, prostitutes, etc.
No one does anything to end this evil art, and everything is heading toward a final catastrophe due to the lack of a Revolution of the Dialectic.
Samael Aun Weor. Excerpt from the book: The Revolution of the Dialectic.
Answer from the magazine "The The wisdom of the Being.".
In theaters, images and acts of black magic abound, for it holds them under its influence. For example, the spectator sees a pornographic scene or hears words with double and malevolent meanings. These dark elements of unhealthy entertainment wound the retina and the ear and penetrate even the mind.
Then, the psychological self of each person intervenes, creating, on the mental plane, a living effigy absolutely identical to the one the spectator perceived. That effigy is endowed with consciousness and becomes a true "mental demon" with whom the viewer often fornicates during sleep, naturally resulting in nocturnal emissions.
Movie theaters are worse because they are more numerous and because of the harmful popularity instilled in them by film producers. Disciples should not go to movie theaters. Theaters and cinemas, unfortunately, have become, due to their audacity toward perversion, true and unmistakable temples of black magic, with their covert or overt practices of black magic harmful to people's mental state. Even worse and more accurate, as well as devastating, conclusions or considerations can be drawn regarding nightclubs, which have caused so much moral harm to today's youth. Disciples must know how to defend themselves against these filthy temptations. There are women who, without even knowing it, accumulate a great deal of Luciferian power. Often these women are not particularly beautiful, but they are in the service of Lucifer.
Then the naive disciple feels irresistibly tempted by them; and they struggle, but in the end, they fall into an atmosphere and a fatal cycle of temptation. Then they fail on the Path! These women, with their Luciferian power, truly hypnotize and attract the weak. There is, incidentally, a Sacred Key to defend oneself against these terrible temptations: the Lord's Prayer, fervently prayed and meditated upon without haste, and great willpower.
