The Three Pillars
The Teachings of the Sarmoung Society are structured around three primary pillars, forming a comprehensive framework for spiritual growth and understanding. These pillars—Sacred Science, Sacred Psychology, and Sacred Cosmology—address different dimensions of knowledge and human experience, providing an integrated approach to self-transformation.​
​
You are welcome to begin your studies at any time, immersing yourself in the teachings and participating in online meetings without the need to adhere to a rigid starting point. While the three pillars can be explored in any order, it may take several months to fully grasp the flavor and context of the teachings. Patience and persistence are essential during this initial period, as understanding unfolds through practice and participation.
Sacred Science
This pillar encompasses the study of universal laws and principles as expressed through the study of mathematics, music, astronomy, and chemistry (al-kemi). It seeks to uncover the hidden order and harmony underlying creation, offering tools to align human life with cosmic rhythms.
​
The study of sacred science is an important first step, for it enhances rationality, clarity of thought, and an understanding of the natural laws behind Creation. Without a solid foundation in sacred science, no further development is possible.
​
Sacred Science serves as a bridge between material and spiritual knowledge, demonstrating that science and spirituality are not opposing forces but complementary paths to understanding reality. It encourages a disciplined approach to observation and experimentation, emphasizing that true wisdom emerges from integrating intellectual insight with intuitive perception.

Sacred Psychology and Physiology
Focused on the inner life and the human complex (body), Sacred Psychology and Physiology is the study of the soul, spirit, consciousness, and body, from an esoteric point of view. It provides methods for inner work, and the cultivation of higher states of consciousness, enabling individuals to reconnect with their true essence. Sacred Psychology emphasizes the necessity of self-knowledge as the foundation for any meaningful transformation. By examining the mechanisms of thought, emotion, form, and behavior, practitioners can begin to free themselves from mechanical patterns, conditioned responses, and physical limitations.
​
Furthermore, Sacred Psychology and Physiology introduce practical tools such as meditation, mindfulness, and conscious effort to integrate higher states of being into everyday life. It views the human being as a microcosm of the universe, containing latent possibilities for awakening and transformation. Through disciplined inner work, one can harmonize with the fragmented aspects of the psyche and achieve greater unity and purpose.
Sacred Cosmology
This pillar explores the physical and metaphysical structure and purpose of the universe. It includes teachings about hierarchies of being, and mystical correspondences between celestial and terrestrial realities. Sacred Cosmology serves as a guide to understanding humanity's place within the larger cosmic order. It examines the cycles of time, sacred calendars, and the relationship between planetary and cosmic influences, showing how these forces shape human destiny and spiritual evolution.
​
Sacred Cosmology also delves into the idea of universal forces and patterns that permeate existence, offering insights into the deeper laws governing creation and transformation. It encourages seekers to view the cosmos as a living interconnected system—a reflection of divine intelligence. By studying these frameworks, individuals can gain a profound sense of purpose and alignment with the rhythms of the universe.
​
Additionally, Sacred Cosmology incorporates practices of cosmic, occult, religious, and esoteric (CORE) work as tools for connecting with planetary forces and working with the unseen worlds that are part of the cosmic ecology. These practices enable seekers to attune themselves to higher realms, harnessing spiritual energies for insight and transformation. Through certain esoteric techniques, members learn to cultivate relationships with these forces, accessing their wisdom and guidance to deepen their understanding of cosmic harmony and their own spiritual evolution.
