                                                                         THE AUTHORITIES

The government has AUTHORITY, the STATE has AUTHORITY. The police, the law, the soldier, parents, teachers, religious guides, etc., have AUTHORITY.

There are two types of AUTHORITY. First, SUBCONSCIOUS AUTHORITY. Second, CONSCIOUS AUTHORITY.

The UNCONSCIOUS or SUBCONSCIOUS AUTHORITIES are useless. We urgently need SELF-CONSCIOUS AUTHORITIES.

UNCONSCIOUS OR SUBCONSCIOUS AUTHORITIES have filled the world with tears and pain.

At home and at school, UNCONSCIOUS AUTHORITIES abuse the AUTHORITY for the fact of being UNCONSCIOUS or SUBCONSCIOUS.

The parents and unconscious teachers, today, are blind guides only and as the sacred scriptures say, they will all head to the abyss.

Unconscious parents and teachers force us during childhood to do absurd things but they consider logical. They say that this is for our good.

Parents are UNCONSCIOUS AUTHORITIES as evidenced by treating children as trash, as if they were superior beings to the human species.

Teachers are hating certain students, and spoiling or consenting to others. Sometimes harshly punishing any student hated even when the latter is not a perverse and reward with great qualifications to many students or consensual students who really do not deserve.

Parents and school teachers dictate the wrong rules for children, young people, young ladies, etc.

AUTHORITIES that do not have SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS only absurd things can do.

We need SELF-CONSCIOUS AUTHORITIES. Self-awareness is understood as the INTEGRAL KNOWLEDGE OF ITSELF, the total knowledge of all our INTERNAL VALUES.

Only one who truly possesses full knowledge of HIMSELF is awakened in its entirety. That is to be SELF-CONSCIOUS.

Everyone believes that they KNOW THEMSELVES, but it is very difficult to find someone who really knows themselves in life. People have totally wrong concepts about themselves.

Knowing yourself requires great SELF-EFFORTS. Only through the KNOWLEDGE OF ITSELF COME TRUE TO SELF-CONSCIENCE.

THE ABUSE OF AUTHORITY is due to UNCONSCIOUSNESS. No SELF-CONSCIOUS AUTHORITY would ever come to the ABUSE of AUTHORITY.

Some philosophers are against all AUTHORITY, they hate the AUTHORITIES. Such a way of thinking is FALSE because in everything created, from the microbe to the sun, there are scales and scales, degrees and degrees, superior forces that control and direct and inferior forces that are controlled and directed.

In a simple beehive there is authority in the QUEEN. In any anthill there is authority and laws. The destruction of the principle of AUTHORITY would lead to ANARCHY.

THE AUTHORITIES of these critical times in which we live are UNCONSCIOUS and it is clear that due to this PSYCHOLOGICAL fact, they enslave, they chain, they abuse, they cause pain.

We need MASTERS, instructors or spiritual guides, government authorities, parents, etc., fully SELF-CONSCIOUS. Only in this way can we really make a BETTER WORLD.

It is stupid to say that teachers and spiritual guides are not needed.

It is absurd to ignore the principle of AUTHORITY in everything created.

Those who are SELF-SUFFICIENT, PROUD, think that TEACHERS and SPIRITUAL GUIDES ARE NOT NECESSARY.

We must recognize our own inner reality. We must understand that we need AUTHORITIES, TEACHERS, SPIRITUAL INSTRUCTORS, etc. BUT SELF-CONSCIOUS so that they can guide, direct and help us wisely.

The UNCONSCIOUS AUTHORITY of the TEACHERS  destroys the creative power of the students. If the student paints, the unconscious teacher tells him what he must paint, the tree or landscape that he must copy and the terrified student does not dare to break the teacher's mechanical rules.

That is not create. It is necessary that the student becomes a creator. That  be  able to leave the unconscious rules of the Unconscious teachers, so that he can transmit everything he feels in relation to the tree, all the charm of life that flows through the trembling leaves of the tree, all its deep significance.

A CONSCIOUS MASTER would not oppose the liberating creativity of the spirit.

The MASTERS with CONSCIOUS AUTHORITY, would never maim the minds of the students.

UNCONSCIOUS teachers destroy with their AUTHORITY the minds and intelligence of the students.

MASTERS with UNCONSCIOUS AUTHORITY can only punish and dictate stupid rules so that students behave well.

SELF-CONSCIOUS TEACHERS teach their students with great patience, helping them to understand their individual difficulties, so that by understanding they can transcend all their mistakes and advance triumphantly.

CONSCIOUS AUTHORITY or SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS could never destroy INTELLIGENCE.

UNCONSCIOUS AUTHORITY destroys INTELLIGENCE and causes serious damage to students.

Intelligence only comes to us when we enjoy true freedom and TEACHERS WITH SELF-CONSCIOUS AUTHORITY know how to truly respect CREATIVE FREEDOM.

UNCONSCIOUS TEACHERS believe they know everything and run over students' freedom by castrating their intelligence with their lifeless rules.

SELF-CONSCIOUS teachers KNOW they do not KNOW and they even have the luxury of learning by observing the creative abilities of their disciples.

It is necessary that the students of the schools, colleges and universities, go from the simple condition of disciplined automatons, to the brilliant position of intelligent and free beings so that they can successfully face all the difficulties of existence.

This requires competent SELF-CONSCIOUS TEACHERS, who really care about their disciples, teachers who are well paid so that they do not have monetary anxieties of any kind.

Unfortunately, every teacher, every parent, every student, believes himself SELF-CONSCIOUS, AWAKE, and that is his GREATEST ERROR.

It is very rare to find any person SELF-CONSCIOUS and AWAKE in life.

People dream when the body sleeps and dreams when the body is in a waking state.

People drive cars, dreaming; work dreaming; walks through the streets dreaming, lives at all times dreaming.

It is very natural for a teacher to forget the umbrella or leave a book or his wallet in the car. All this happens because the teacher has a conscience asleep, dreams ...

It is very difficult for people to accept that they are asleep, everyone believes they are awake. If someone accepts that their conscience is asleep, it is clear that from that moment they will begin to awaken.

The student forgets at home the book, or the notebook that has to be taken to school, a forgetfulness of these seems very normal and it is, but it indicates, point out, the dream state in which human consciousness is found .

The passengers of any urban transport service, sometimes pass blocks of streets on the bus, were asleep and when they wake up they come to realize that they went over the street and that now it will be their turn to walk back a few streets.

Rarely in life is the human being really awake and when he has been even for a moment, as in the cases of infinite terror, he sees himself for a moment in an INTEGRAL way. Those moments are unforgettable.

The man who returns home after having toured the entire city, it is very difficult for him to remember in detail all his thoughts, incidents, people, things, ideas, etc.etc. etc., in trying to remember, you will find in his memory great lacunae that correspond precisely to the states of deepest sleep.

Some students of Psychology have proposed to live ALERTS from moment to moment, but suddenly they fall asleep, maybe when they find a friend in the street, when entering a store to buy something, etc. and when hours later they remember their decision to live ALERT and AWAKE from moment to moment, then they come to realize that they had fallen asleep when they entered this or that place, or when they met this or that person, etc. etc. etc.

Being SELF-CONSCIOUS is something very difficult but you can get to this state by learning to live alert and vigilant from MOMENT to MOMENT.

If we want to reach SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS, we need to know ourselves in an INTEGRAL way.

 In all of us is the EGO that we need to explore in order to know ourselves and become SELF-CONSCIOUS.

It is URGENT to SELF OBSERVE, ANALYZE and COMPREHEND each one of our defects.

It is necessary to study ourselves in the field of the mind, emotions, habits, instincts and sex.

The mind has many LEVELS, regions or SUBCONSCIOUS departments that we must know thoroughly through OBSERVATION, ANALYSIS, DEEP MEDITATION and DEEP INTIMATE UNDERSTANDING.

Any defect can disappear from the intellectual region and continue to exist in other unconscious levels of the mind.

The first thing that is needed is AWAKENING to understand our own actual psychological state. Then the ego begins to DIE from moment to moment. THE DEATH OF THE PSYCHOLOGICAL SELF IS URGENT.

Only by dying does the BEING truly CONSCIOUS be born in us. Only he BE can exercise true CONSCIOUS AUTHORITY.

AWAKE, DYING, BORN. These are the three psychological phases that lead us to REAL CONSCIOUS EXISTENCE.

You have to wake up to DIE and you have to die to BORN. Whoever is born without having died becomes an INDIVIDUAL of DOUBLE PERSONALITY, the very JUST and the very perverse.

The exercise of true AUTHORITY can only be exercised by those who possess the conscious BEING.

Those who do not yet possess the CONSCIOUS BEING, those who are not yet SELF-CONSCIOUS, often ABUSE THE AUTHORITY and cause a lot of harm.

TEACHERS must learn to command and students must learn to obey.

Those PSYCHOLOGISTS who pronounce themselves against obedience are in fact very wrong because nobody can consciously command if they have not learned to obey before.

You have to know how to command CONSCIOUSLY and you have to know how to obey
