                                                                                   DEATH

It is urgent to understand thoroughly and in all areas of the mind, what DEATH really is in itself, only in this way is it possible to really understand in an integral way what immortality is.

Seeing the human body of a loved one stuck in the coffin does not mean understanding the mystery of death.

Truth is the unknown from moment to moment. The Truth about death cannot be an exception.

The "ego" always wants, as it is only natural, an insurance of death, a supplementary guarantee, some authority that is in charge of securing a good position and any type of immortality beyond the sepulcher.

The ego does not really want to die. The ego is very afraid of death.

The TRUTH is not a matter of believing or doubting. The truth has nothing to do with credulity, nor with skepticism. The truth is not a question of ideas, theories, opinions, concepts, preconceptions, assumptions, prejudices, affirmations, negotiations, etc. The truth about the mystery of Death is no exception.

The Truth about the mystery of death can only be known through direct experience.

It is impossible to communicate the REAL experience of death to those who do not know it.

Any poet can write beautiful LOVE books, but it is impossible to communicate the TRUTH about LOVE to people who have never experienced it, in a similar way we say that it is impossible to communicate the truth about death to people who have not experienced it.

Whoever wants to know the truth about death must inquire, experience for himself, search properly, only in this way can we discover the profound significance of death.

The observation and experience of many years have allowed us to understand that people are not interested in really understanding the deep meaning of death; to people the only thing that really interests them is to continue in the hereafter and that is all.

Many people want to continue through material goods, prestige, family, beliefs, ideas, children, etc., and when they understand that any type of psychological continuity is vain, fleeting, ephemeral, unstable, then feeling without guarantees, Insecure, they are frightened, they are horrified, they are filled with infinite terror.

They do not want to understand such people, they do not want to understand that everything that continues unfolds in time.

The  people do not want to understand that everything that continues  decline over time.

The  people do not want to understand that everything that continues becomes mechanistic, routine, boring.

It is urgent, it is necessary, it is indispensable, to become fully aware of the deep meaning of death, only in this way does the fear of ceasing to exist disappear.

By carefully observing humanity, we can verify that the mind is always bottled in the known and wants that which is known to continue beyond the grave.

The mind bottled in the known will never be able to experience the unknown, the real, the true.

Only by breaking the bottle of time through correct meditation  we can experience the ETERNAL, the TIMELESS, the REAL.

Those who wish to continue fear death and their beliefs and theories only serve as narcotics.

Death in itself has nothing terrifying, it is something very beautiful, sublime, ineffable, but the bottled mind: in the known, it only moves within the vicious circle that goes from credulity to skepticism.

When we really become fully aware of the deep and profound meaning of death, we then discover for ourselves through direct experience that Life and Death constitute an integral, one-total whole.

Death is the deposit of Life. The path of Life is formed with the traces of the hooves of death.

Life is determined and determining energy. From birth to death, different types of energy flow into the human organism.

The only type of energy that the human organism cannot resist, is the RAY OF DEATH. This beam has an electric voltage that is too high. The human organism cannot withstand such voltage.

Just as lightning can tear a tree apart, so the ray of death as it flows through the human organism inevitably destroys it.

The ray of death connects to the phenomenon of death, with the birth phenomenon.

The ray of death originates very intimate electrical tensions and a certain key note that has the determining power of combining the genes within the fertile egg.

The ray of death reduces the human organism to its fundamental elements.

The EGO, the energetic I, continues unfortunately in our descendants.

What is the Truth about death, what is the interval between death and conception is something that does not belong to time and that only through the science of meditation can we experience.

The Teachers of Schools, Colleges and Universities must teach their students the path that leads to the experience of the REAL, of the TRUTH.

                                                                     EXPERIENCE OF THE REAL

On the solemn threshold of the temple of Delphi was a hieratic inscription carved in living stone that read: "NOSCE TE IPSUM". Know yourself and you will know the Universe and the Gods.

The transcendental SCIENCE OF MEDITATION has as its basic cornerstone this sacred motto of the ancient GREEK HIEROPHANTS.

If we truly and very sincerely want to establish the basis for correct Meditation, it is necessary to understand ourselves at all levels of the mind.

Establishing the correct basis of Meditation is, in fact, to be free from ambition, selfishness, fear, hatred, greed for psychic powers, craving results, etc., etc., etc.

It is clear to all lights and beyond all doubt that after establishing the BASIC CORNERSTONE of the meditation the mind remains still and in deep and imposing silence.

From the strictly logical point of view, it is absurd to want to experience the REAL without knowing ourselves.

It is urgent to understand in an INTEGRAL way and in all areas of the mind, each problem as it arises in the mind, each desire, each memory, each psychological defect, etc.

It is clearly evident that during the practice of meditation, they go through the screen of the mind in sinister procession, all the psychological defects that characterize us, all our joys and sorrows, innumerable memories, multiple impulses that come from the outside world, or of the inner world either, desires of all kinds, passions of all kinds, old resentments, hatreds, etc.

Who really wants to establish in his mind the basic stone of meditation, should pay full attention to these positive and negative values of our understanding and understand them in an integral way not only on the purely intellectual level, but also in all subconscious, infra-conscious areas and unconscious of the mind. We must never forget that the mind has many levels.

The substantive and deep study of all these values in fact means knowledge of oneself.

Every movie on the screen of the mind has a beginning and an end. When the parade of forms, desires, passions, ambitions, memories, etc., ends, then the mind remains still and in deep silence, EMPTY of all kinds of thoughts.

Modern students of Psychology need to experience the ILLUMINATING VOID. The irruption of the VACUUM within our own mind allows us to experience, feel, experience an element that transforms, such ELEMENT is the REAL.

Distinguish between a mind that is still and a mind that is quieted violently.

Distinguish between a mind that is silent and a mind that is silenced by force.

In light of any logical deduction we have to understand that when the mind is violently quieted, deep down and on other levels it is not quiet and struggles to free itself.

From the analytical point of view we have to understand that when the mind is silenced by force, deep down it is not silent, screams and despairs terribly.

The true quiet and natural and spontaneous silence of the mind, comes to us as a grace, as a joy, when the very intimate film of our own existence ends on the wonderful screen of the intellect.

Only when the mind is naturally and spontaneously quiet, only when the mind finds itself in delicious silence, comes the irruption of the ILLUMINATING VACUUM.

THE VACUUM is not easy to explain. It is not definable or describable, any concept that we issue about it may fail in the main point.

The VACUUM cannot be described or expressed in words. This is because human language has been created primarily to designate existing things, thoughts and feelings; it is not adequate to express in a clear and specific way, phenomena, things and feelings NOT EXISTING.

Trying to discuss the VOID within the limits of a language limited by the forms of existence, really beyond doubt, is in fact silly and absolutely wrong.

"THE VACUUM is NO-EXISTENCE, and the EXISTENCE IS NOT THE VACUUM".

"THE FORM DOES NOT DIFFER FROM THE VACUUM, AND THE VACUUM DOES NOT DIFFER FROM THE FORM".

"FORM IS VACUUM AND THE VOID IS FORM, IT IS DUE TO THE VOID THAT THINGS EXIST".

"VACUUM AND EXISTENCE COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER AND DO NOT OPPOSE". "VACUUM AND EXISTENCE ARE INCLUDED AND ARE EMBRACED EACH OTHER".

"WHEN NORMAL SENSITIVITY BEINGS SEE AN OBJECT, SEE ONLY ITS EXISTING ASPECT, DO NOT SEE ITS EMPTY ASPECT".

"All ILLUMINATED BEING can simultaneously see the existing and EMPTY aspect of anything."

"VACUUM is simply a term that denotes the NON-SUBSTANTIAL and non-PERSONAL nature of beings, and a sign indicating the state of absolute detachment and freedom."

The Teachers of Schools, Colleges and Universities must thoroughly study the Revolutionary Psychology and then teach their students the path that leads to the experimentation of the REAL.

It is only possible to reach the EXPERIENCE OF THE REAL when the thought is over.

The irruption of the VACUUM allows us to experience the CLEAR LIGHT of PURE REALITY.

That PRESENT KNOWLEDGE in reality EMPTY, without characteristic and without color, EMPTY OF NATURE, is the TRUE REALITY, the UNIVERSAL GOODNESS.

YOUR INTELLIGENCE whose true nature is the VOID that should not be looked at as the VOID of NOTHING but as the INTELLIGENCE SAME without hindrance, bright, universal and happy, is the CONSCIENCE, the Universally Wise BUDDHA.

YOUR own EMPTY CONSCIOUSNESS and bright and joyful INTELLIGENCE are inseparable. Your UNION of DHARMAKAYA; THE STATE OF PERFECT LIGHTING.

Your own BRIGHT, EMPTY CONSCIOUSNESS, inseparable from the great BODY OF SPLENDOR, has neither BIRTH nor DEATH and is the unchanging light AMITHABA BUDDHA.

This knowledge is enough. To recognize the VOID of your own INTELLIGENCE as the STATE of BUDDHA and considerable as your own CONSCIENCE, is to continue in the DIVINE SPIRIT of BUDDHA.

Keep your INTELLECT without being distracted during the MEDITATION, forget that you are in Meditation, do not think that you are meditating because when you think that you meditate, this thought is enough to disturb the meditation. YOUR mind must remain EMPTY to experience the REAL.
