I know I´ll alter the course a bit from the current discussion here, but I hope it will not be totally pointless. I was hesitating if sharing here the name of Samael Aun Weor (the name of his being), also known as Victor Manuel Gomez Rodriguez in his physical life, who openly declared to be Julius Caesar in one of his former life. I also honestly admit I was scared to do so, because having studied his gnostic teaching for many years, I´m aware that he surely is the one that has attracted the greatest amount of attacks all over the world. Just google his name around and you´ll immediately recognize the ordinary kind of blurry intellectual stuff that is obscured by vindictive and righteous purposes.
Another thing that stopped me from sharing, the main reason, is I couldn´t find any evidence that I could DIRECTLY infer from his teaching that this could be true, and I know here we like the hard way in learning whatever shows up, with as much information as we can afford. But I would still give him some thought, at least in view of his awful teaching, which I think wouldn´t be exaggerated if saying it can´t be comparable to any other one. Therefore, let me resume a bit some raw data about him, because the more information you get on this guy, the more convicing is the evidence that we are not talking about an ordinary man. At least that´s the idea I got as I started reading through his books, years ago.
Supposedly borned around 1917 in Bogota, Colombia, between 1950 and 1960, he declared himself (his Being) Archangel and Regent of Mars and also Avatar of Aquarius Era, and declared his mission to be the start-up of the FUTURE 6th. Coradi root race, while preparing the actual 6th. subrace of th 5th. root Arian race, us, for the very next transition. As he used to say, his teaching is aimed at the future 6th. race and very few students are able to grasp the implication of it.
Most of his detractors are clinging to the fact that he had plagiarized Gurdjieff´s work, when in fact, as SAW (S.Aun Weor) explained, both of them were reading in higher realms part of the same messages (or something close to that). SAW always saw with good eyes Gurdjieff´s work, but he also noted that unfortunately Gurdjieff had forgotten his Divine Mother in midst of the Work (I think I remember something in this sense being reported in the forum). Where I want to go is it´s true that Gurdjieff/Openski are unbeatable in their awakening teaching -priceless to me-, but the main error here is trying to compare each other, when in fact the fate and responsibility of SAW seems to be alltogether different. It seems to me Gurdjieff was trying to awake groups of persons, while SAW left a message to our humanity -in the future-, preparing us for the transition and whatever will follow.
He wrote a book called The Perfect Matrimony (among st many others that are about other subjects, like anthropology, medicine, psychology, history, initiation, dialectic revolution, Kabbalah, astrology, christianism, the eternal feminine, psychiatry, secret doctrine of Anahuac, the unveiled Parsifal, the nine infernal realms, and many more, and his last book The Unveiled Pistis Sophia where he explains passages of the Bible, making there much references to the dark side of our realm) that has been understood wrongly or literally and has led to disastrous individual experiences and a host of scandals. In said book, he writes in a strictly synthetic and educated manner about retaining the ens seminis when having sexual intercourse, as a direct way of eliminating our ego, which would otherwise take many lifes. But he often recalled that absolute sincerity, voluntary sacrifice on the self and humanity, and love for the Work itself to be inseparable conditions for this achievement. As he said too, I know I made mistakes in my books, but I´ve decided not to alter a single one because this will measure the students inner capacity for the work.
As a former student of his teaching, I can say in retrospect that the main common failure the gnostic groups did -that slowly started falling apart soon after SAW died on Dec. 24th 1977-, was like everybody remained deaf to his recommendation on reading all the books he had listed of other authors, because he used to say that he would have needed hundreds of years to write everything down. Fortunately, some of them are listed in this forum now, and it seems like I had another chance to step on the wagon again!
Here I found a link in English that resumes a bit his deeds: www.gnosis.ws/samael.htm
and a text translated from Spanish to English where SAW recalls his past life as Julius Caesar, in which he says he was sacrifying himself for the humanity and setting the scene for the 4th subrace of the 5th race:

Maybe somebody can find more details about his life in Roma? or anything that could add some hint to his life in connection with Jesus´ historical version that could have been twisted for any deplorable reasons?
Could it be the similarities found between Jesus and Caesar may lay precisely in that both are linked and interlinked with the same purposes regarding mankind on this planet? Curiously, he also refered to one of his past life as Tomas de Kempis, in which he wrote Imitation of Christ, which is another strange coincidence. On the other side, any nutcase could pretend having a past life as Julius Caesar, but would scarcely select Tomas de Kempis, who is nearly lost in our days!
If somebody wants to make some research too on this peculiar man, there is a lot of videos and writings and books for free download on Google. Also putting Julius Caesar and Samael Aun Weor together gives a lot of results.
