First and foremost, it is necessary to come to know one's own Being, but to know it from an exclusively objective point of view. It would be impossible to know our own True Inner Being from a subjective point of view. That is obvious. In mainstream psychology, subjective is considered to be positive, clear, and real, while objective is secondary. Psychologists are mistaken, because in real and revolutionary psychology, OBJECTIVE is the spiritual, the real, and the true, and SUBJECTIVE is the incoherent, vague, imprecise, and material. We must therefore take these factors into account.

When I say that we need to know Being in a completely objective way, I am stating a great truth. It is necessary to grasp what I am stating.

Our Being in the world of the twelve laws represented by the Sun, which is a world of twelve laws. It is also conditioned by the world of 24 laws, the planetary world, the solar system; or it is conditioned by the world of 48 laws, which is the physical world; and in its densest form, it is conditioned by the world of 96 laws.

Therefore, we need to know Being, not only in the world of the twelve laws or in the world of the twenty-four laws, but in all worlds. This requires much effort; not indirect effort, but direct, central effort. We truly need to know ourselves. "Man, know thyself and you will know the Universe and the Gods." Because only by knowing ourselves can we work directly on ourselves. If we don`t know ourselves, how can we work on ourselves? Impossible, right?

What we are seeking is a change, a radical transformation, and this is only possible by exploring ourselves, because in this way we can work directly on ourselves. When I speak of working on ourselves, it must be understood; we can become imitators of someone else, and in this case, we would not be working centrally; we would not be making central efforts, but unilateral ones. We could imitate the head of the family, the matriarch, or some instructor, but then that wouldn't be a direct central effort.

. To imitate some else, and the work of imitation isn't work on oneself, in and of oneself, directly; it's being done from an angle, unilaterally. It's not central work. It's not a central effort.

I'm telling you to make a central effort, a series of SUPER CENTRAL EFFORTS, to work on yourselves directly. Only in this way is it possible to produce a change within ourselves. But obviously, when one works on oneself objectively, when one makes central, direct efforts to produce change, then the lower emotional center is intensively attacked. And it can be said that the lower emotional center is catastrophic, dark, and horrible; when the lower emotional center is attacked, we truly suffer. People appear in our lives who wound us, who plunge the dagger into the lower emotional center; we feel our hearts being tortured.

Of course, there is always a tendency to react against those who wound us in one way or another. We have this very marked tendency to react. If we react, the lower emotional center is strengthened, and that is extremely serious.

However, the struggle against the lower emotions has certain advantages: one of them, and precisely the most important, is that as a result of the conflict against the emotions, against the words that wound us, our DIVINE BEING emerges, a product of the struggle, of the effort.

This Individual Being emerges vigorous, comes into manifestation, and it is obvious that it purifies all our functions; our centers, which previously marched erratically, some against others, are wonderfully integrated. It is through this struggle against the lower emotions and through these objective and central Super Efforts—not indirect or unilateral ones—that Individuality and the Integration of the Being are truly achieved. When we mention this word, "Integration of the Being," a product of central efforts on oneself, we must reflect a little.

Our deep inner Being is not truly integrated; it is composed of many autonomous and self-aware parts.

The sacred scriptures speak precisely of Twelve Apostles. When people read the Bible, they take the Twelve Apostles literally; they are described as fishermen who followed Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ. But the Initiate who is working directly on himself, on his own Being, comes to discover these Twelve Apostles, these Twelve Fishermen. And the serious thing is that he doesn't discover them outside himself, but WITHIN HIMSELF. He comes with astonishment to realize that these Twelve Apostles are Twelve parts of his own Being. He would step a little outside the merely historical question and pay closer attention to the Gospel about himself.

They are the Twelve Powers that, with the Venustic Initiation, penetrate the womb of the Divine Mother Kundalini, to come a little later into physical existence. And this is extremely important.

When we speak of the Twenty-Four Elders of the Apocalypse of Saint John who cast their crowns at the feet of the Lamb, we must understand this. Nor are they figures foreign to ourselves. They are Twenty-Four autonomous and self-aware parts of our own BEING.

And when we mention the Four Saints, we must understand this. The Four Devarajas are not only there at the four cardinal points of the Earth, they are within ourselves, and they have power over the Four Elements.

And when we speak of the Lamb of God who washes away the sins of the world, let us not think of a historical figure only.  to whom Paul of Tarsus alluded so often, the INTIMATE JESUS CHRIST, THE HUMANIZED LOGOS. That LOGOIC Ray that each of us possesses penetrates the maternal womb of the Divine Mother Kundalini Shakti to later manifest through the Venusian Initiation.

We must remember that the Logos is not a human or Divine individual; those who think so are mistaken. The LOGOS IS PERFECT MULTIPLE UNITY. Each of us has our Logoic Ray, so to speak, our Inner Christ, which, when it becomes human in the maternal womb, becomes Jesus, the Inner Christ. Jesus means "Savior." The Christ, Christus, or Vishnu, or Osiris is our Logoic Ray. Since Paul of Tarsus speaks so much of Jesus Christ, he was not referring to Him as a historical figure, but to the inner Jesus Christ within each of us. It was to this same Jesus that he always wisely referred.

So, brothers, it is that Inner Jesus Christ who matters. If an Enlightened One truly invokes Yeshua Ben Joseph in the worlds of Cosmic Consciousness, He will greet him by pointing to His heart, saying, "Seek Me within." "Seek Christ within." Because Yeshua Ben Joseph came to bring the doctrine of the Inner Christ, in the same way that Gautama Buddha Shakyamuni brought the doctrine of the Inner Buddha.

Thus, my dear ones, I want you to reflect on what all this means. When we speak of a great mystic named James the Apostle, we must understand him as the Mercury of Secret Philosophy. The very representative of Mercury is one of the twelve most important powers we carry within us; he is James the Greater, the Blessed Patron of the Great Work, the one who teaches us the marvelous science of the Great Work.

The Father of all Lights is the Ancient of Days (each of us has our own Ancient) and through James the Greater, he teaches us the Blessed science.

When we speak of Philip, do not think only of Philip the Apostle, the one who baptized the eunuch on the bank of a river or spring, that marvelous figure who appeared and disappeared as if by magic, who traveled through the air and astonished the people. Think also of the inner Philip that each of us carries. It is obvious that if we invoke Him with purity of heart and beg Him to take us out of the physical body and lead us through the supra-sensible region of eternal space, we will be assisted by Him.

So these Twelve Powers are within ourselves; not outside of ourselves. And we don't stop there; there is the Guardian of the Threshold of the astral world, the Guardian of the mental world, the Guardian of the Threshold of the Causal world. Here are three guardians!

And what shall we say of the Divine Mother Kundalini Shakti?... She has 5 aspects:

That of the Un-manifest, which is, Nephthys. In the name of truth, not even I myself have been able to enter, at least in this reincarnation, the Temple of Nephthys, the Temple of the Un-manifest; that door is very narrow, even though it is crystalline, obviously manifest; But the Gods also suffer greatly to enter the Temple of Nephthys.

Then comes the Manifest One, let's call her Isis, Adonia, Rhea, Insoberta, Tonantzin, Cybele, Diana, Mary, or Marah; it doesn't matter what name we give her. She is closer to us, assisting us with her Wisdom, Love, and Power, and she is also part of our Being; she is a part of our Being, but DERIVED.

And let's also speak of the third aspect of the Cosmic Mother, as the embodiment of Love and Law, who punishes the Initiates when they deserve to be punished: The Queen of Hell and of Death. It doesn't matter if we call her Proserpina or Coatlicue or Hecate... In any case, she punishes us for our own good when is neccessary and is also a part of our own Being.

What shall we say about Mother Nature, the fourth aspect of our Mother Being, the one who perfectly unites the zoosperm with the ovum, the one who mathematically designs the physical body, the one who places exactly forty-eight chromosomes in the primitive germ cell? Obviously, our Mother Nature already knows this by Nature.

Finally, we have the fifth aspect: an Elemental Magician as Lady who gives us instinctive impulses, as Queen of the Elements, as Elemental Magician, I repeat. It is marvelous.

So, if Gautama Buddha is the driver of the Sacred Cow, one day each of us must also become a driver of the five marvelous aspects of the five-legged Cow, the Sacred Cow.

Incidentally, Blavatsky saw one of these wonders of Nature in Hindustan: a white cow with five legs, the fifth on its hump, which it used to shoo away flies. It was led by a young man of the Sadhu sect, who fed on its milk. From time to time, this curious case appears—and it has appeared in America as well—a living representation of the five forces of the Divine Mother Kundalini, of the five aspects of Kundalini Shakti.

Thus, you are seeing the different aspects of our Being. He is the Lion God, also the Lion of the Law. He is the policeman of the Karma that we carry within us, which arises from those regions when we have committed some error: the KAOM.

We have our own particular Anubis, who also applies the Law to us; and we have Metraton related to the right shoulder and Sandalphon related to the left shoulder, and we have the Lord of Time, who can bring us the memory of our past lives, our recollections. All of this we have within us.

And we have a Minerva, not only there in the Macrocosm, but a part of our Being, which has Wisdom, which can perform extraordinary operations within us.

Thus, my dear brothers, our Being has many autonomous and self-aware, independent parts. The highest part of our Being is the Ancient of Days.

We could not perfect the different parts of the Being within us if we did not eliminate from ourselves the inhuman elements that we always carry, all those psychic aggregates, living personifications of our errors.

Thus, my dear brothers, as above, so below. If in the highest part of our Being there is a multiplicity. Also in the lower part is the multiplicity of the ego by opposition.

We could not, I repeat, purify or perfect that hidden Ray (since the higher parts of our Being are hidden), perfect the highest part of the Being, without having eliminted  every last of the psychic aggregates.

Whoever manages to develop the highest part of the Being, whoever manages to purify it, receives the degree of "ISMECH"; it is clear that these HORNS are known: The inner Lucifer of each of us, which is a reflection of the Logos within ourselves, has horns; by the number of horns we know if we have reached the degree of spiritual development and perfection of objective reason. Those who possess the six tridents on their horns have accomplished the GREAT WORK, they have managed to establish themselves in the Anc-Lad; But those who possess the NINE tridents in their Horns are integrated into the Common Cosmic Father.

Now, by contrast, we also have a multiplicity in the ego! We must disintegrate them!

There are two types of INTEGRATION; we can integrate the Being, and that is Cosmic Integration, COSMIC CRYSTALLIZATION. And there is another integration, my dear ones: NEGATIVE INTEGRATION. Those who integrate the EGO become terribly perverse demons; there are: The Black Magicians who have crystallized... The Black Magicians who worship all the parts of the EGO, who have reunited it within themselves, who have fully integrated it. That is a negative integration, the integration of the ego.

There are schools that worship the ego and refuse to disintegrate it, venerating it like angels... considering the various psychic aggregates as positive, marvelous values, and caring for them. These misguided individuals integrate the ego and become... Dark Ones! Extremely powerful! Magicians of darkness! They exist in the Black Sun, which is, by contrast, the antithesis of the Sun that illuminates us; they exist in the bowels of the underworld; they exist in Lilith, the Black Moon... They are misguided crystallizations, negative integrations.

We must become aware of all this.

Thus, from the struggle against negative emotions, THE BEING emerges. The process of INTEGRATION OF THE BEING begins little by little, but in opposition, the DISINTEGRATION OF THE EGO intensifies, until its total annihilation!

On the path of investigation, we must not forget that it is necessary to study the Being, not only, I repeat, in the world of the twelve Laws, but also in that of the twenty-four, the forty-eight, and the ninety-six Laws; the latter is populated by the various psychic aggregates that we carry within us—that is OBVIOUS.

Once we have understood this, we also understand the need to UNDERSTAND others. To be able to understand others in a real and true way, what is needed is to reach an agreement. We could not understand others if we have not understood ourselves.

Someone says; "Well, I understand so-and-so, but I don't agree with him," which is absurd! If you understood him, you would agree with him. Precisely because you don't understand him, you don't agree with him. That's obvious. How can you understand someone and not agree with them?

This question is strictly mathematical: if we add twenty plus twenty, what do we get? Forty. Right? Good. If we divide forty by two, what do we get? Twenty, that's obvious; if we split it, what do we get? Twenty. Okay, so what would twenty be? What would it be? It would be what we could call the EXACT MATHEMATICAL MEAN.. Then, that average mathematical quantity between two quantities obviously gives us the balance between BEING AND KNOWING. That's clear. There must be a perfect balance between Being and Knowing. If there isn't a perfect balance between Being and Knowing, then there simply is no understanding.

So if you understand someone, then you should UNDERSTAND them, and if you don't, then you don't understand them, and that's all.

It could be that this person we assume we have understood has ideas different from ours, and we say: we have understood him, but I don't agree with him. In this case, then, we haven't understood him! Otherwise, we would agree with him. What I'm saying is difficult to understand, but it's real. This person is Protestant, and we express: that he is Protestant, and we have understood his point of view of reality, but I don't agree with his Protestant Church, with his Protestant ideas. We simply haven't understood him. But if we truly understand him, we know he is referring to certain biblical words and repeating them dogmatically. If he is repeating them dogmatically, then what happens? Well, we UNDERSTAND that he is repeating them dogmatically... if we understand that this is a third-level man, a merely intellectual man, then we say: "This man is repeating what he has studied from the Bible, what others have taught him; he is a, merely intellectual, he has not yet evolved, I understand him. I don't argue with him, I understand him. He is a third-level man, I am a fourth or fifth-level man, etc., therefore he is in his truth, I understand him, and I am his friend." That is called truly understanding and agreeing.

To understand someone, you have to agree with that person. If that person speaks, for example, in French and we speak English , how could we understand each other? We must agree on something: on language or symbols, in order to understand each other. Otherwise, how would we understand each other? There would be no understanding at all.

Therefore, we need to understand each other.

Considering these things, Understanding is truly something that needs to be investigated. Here in our studies, we learn to know it; by understanding the teaching, we advance in the sense of comprehension, and understanding is indispensable. We need to UNDERSTAND GNOSIS, but Being and Knowing must be balanced.

If knowing is greater than Being, there is no balance; if Being is greater than Knowing, there is also no balance. Being and Knowing need to be balanced; only in this way does Understanding arise. Understanding is vital!

And as we advance, exploring, let's say, all these parts of our Being, understanding arises more and more within us. That is obvious. This understanding takes us very far in our studies.

In any case, striving for the Integration of Being, we want the disintegration of the ego; therefore, it is urgent to work deeply on ourselves in order to disintegrate the ego. There is a need to understand each psychic aggregate that we are going to disintegrate. For example, revenge: Do not confuse justice with revenge; justice is one thing and revenge is another. Many say, "revenge is sweet," and that is absurd. It is absurd to take justice into one's own hands; that is revenge. The sacred Law takes care of settling accounts with each person; we have no right to occupy the place of the Great Law. If we discover that we are vengeful, we need to UNDERSTAND the process of revenge.

To understand the process of revenge, for example, MEDITATION, reflection, is necessary. The process of revenge is very easily confused with the process of justice, and we always have a marked tendency to take justice into our own hands. That is revenge. We are vengeful if someone hurts us with words; we react violently; that is revenge.

We are not capable of remaining silent in the face of an insulter, When someone is offending us, we always have this very marked tendency to react to any little word they say to us; we always feel alluded to, and even though we are on the Path, time and again we respond and react.: Is there anyone who doesn't react in one way or another, either by verbalizing their reactions or keeping them secret? They all have this marked tendency to respond to the offending word, to the wounding smile, to the stabbing eyes! They all have this very marked tendency to react!

There are such people, always reactionary, reacting. So there is always a marked tendency to confuse justice with revenge.

When one understands the process of revenge, one can afford to disintegrate its psychic component, but only by UNDERSTANDING; otherwise, how could one disintegrate it?

And what shall we say, for example, about jealousy? There are many kinds of jealousy. Not only passionate, amorous jealousy, no. There is political jealousy, religious jealousy, jealousy over friendships, etc. There are many kinds of jealousy. And what is this thing called jealousy? It is the fear of losing what one loves most; it results, therefore, from the ego of attachment.

A man fears losing his wife and is horribly jealous. A girlfriend fears losing her boyfriend and is terribly jealous, and from this arise horrible conflicts: deaths, revenge, and fifty thousand other things of the sort.

How can we eliminate that jealous ego if we don't know it's the fruit of fear? Of the fear of losing what we love most?

How can we disintegrate that jealous ego if we don't know it's the result of attachment? If we mistakenly believe it's a pretext for love? How could love be jealous? If Love is perfect, is it divine?

Jealousy cannot come from Love because Love gives everything, wants nothing for itself... everything for the Being it loves; it desires nothing but the happiness of the Being it adores; it knows how to sacrifice itself for the good of the one it loves. Therefore, jealousy doesn't come from Love. It comes from the EGO.

But if we ignore this, if we're justifying ourselves, how can we eliminate it? In what way? Impossible.

So, it's necessary, first of all, to discover the defect we must disintegrate. Then UNDERSTAND it through the evident reflection of the Being, through DEEP MEDITATION, and once understood, one is prepared for its elimination.

So, my dear ones, it is necessary that you reflect on all this. As long as one has not disintegrated the ego, one is exposed to very serious errors: to prejudge, to hate, to feel revenge, to take revenge, etc.

Understanding others is indispensable, but how can we understand them if we do not understand ourselves?

There are seven levels of humanity that one must know:

—First is the purely instinctive level.

—The second is the exclusively emotional level.

—The third is the intellectual level.

—Beyond these three levels, there is the fourth level: that of the balanced person, the person who has already balanced the centers of their organic machine.

—Then comes the fifth level: that of those who have created the astral body, who can live consciously in the astral world.

—The sixth level, that of those who can live in the world of the conscious mind, because they have already created the Mental body.

—The seventh, that of those who are established in the Causal world, with a Causal body, as Causal men.

Obviously, men number one, two, and three are the ones who cause the most harm; they do not understand one another. Men number one, two, and three live within the circle of the Tower of Babel, and there is a confusion of "tongues"; there, no one understands anyone. They are the ones who provoked the First and Second World Wars; they are the ones who have the world in tribulations.

Neither men number four, five, six, nor seven would do what men number one, two, and three do. Men number four, five, six, and seven do not provoke wars;. It is men one, two, and three who have brought so much bitterness upon the face of the Earth.

But among men one, two, and three, there are different degrees of understanding; that is obvious. Among men number one, two, and three, there are many kinds of understanding.

So you see what understanding means. We must UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING, become aware of ourselves, self-explore deeply in order to know ourselves.

I already told you that there were two key aspects, two decisive factors in our studies: one, self-remembering, and the other, relaxation of the body: remembering yourselves, your own deep inner Being, and relaxing in deep meditation. This is how the new comes to us; this is how, little by little, we explore ourselves, and this is FUNDAMENTAL.

Question: Dear Master, referring to your previous talk on relaxation and self-remembering, what remains of self-remembering: the balance of the three cylinders of the organic machine with self-remembering, or is it a self-remembering that excludes the cylinders of the organic machine?

Answer: The remembrance of one's own deep inner Being; it occurs, or one cooperates, or one assists in the emergence of the Individual Being within oneself.

Obviously, when the Being emerges within oneself, it then balances the five centers of the organic machine: the intellect center, the emotional center, the motor center, the instinctive center, and the sexual center; the balance of the five centers of the machine remains, it comes about.

Question: So, self-remembering cannot arise spontaneously but only through work on the personality?

Answer: It is obvious that this self-remembering involves work. The personality relaxes to remain in a passive state. Then the messages that come from the Being through the higher centers reach the mind; this brings order and harmony.

Questions— Master, you say that the Being achieves the balance of the centers, but does this involve the interplay of the personality and the conflicts of the mind to achieve its non-intervention and the true action of the Being so that balance reaches us?

Answer.— Well, when we speak of relaxation, we must understand it in its entirety; because if we are only going to relax the muscles that are always tense, we have not fully understood the process of relaxation. It is about relaxing not only the muscles and nerves of the body but ALSO THE MIND. When the mind is still, when the mind is silent, when it no longer projects, when it is in a receptive, integral state, then THE NEW arises. But as long as there is a projective mind and a tense body, the New never arises. Therefore, for the mind to be free from conflict, even for a few moments, there must be physical and mental relaxation. Then these conflicts disappear for an instant; for an instant, the Being arises within us, a moment of emptiness that the Being uses to fill it, and then THE NEW arises.

Thus, little by little, the Being slowly brings about the union of all the centers of the organic machine; the conflicts between the three brains—intellectual, emotional, and motor—disappear. Thus, for seconds, for minutes, we can receive messages from the higher worlds.

But consistency in the work is needed. Diligence is required.

Question: Master, when you spoke of the autonomous and self-aware parts of the Being, you cited some examples; Spoke of the Apostles that each of us carries. Which autonomous and self-aware part of the Being is related to Buddhist annihilation?

Answer: Judas Iscariot. Let's not think only of that Judas from more than two thousand years ago. Let's think of the inner Judas, that inner Apostle, who is one of the Twelve Powers that we carry within us, one of the Twelve parts of the Being. He is keenly interested in Buddhist annihilation, which is why he is extraordinary.

I don't deny the existence of that Apostle from more than two thousand years ago who truly represented our inner Judas. He is a reality. He exists. He is one of the GREAT ones. He is the most exalted Master, the most exalted Adept who walked with Jesus of Nazareth; but within us there is an inner Judas, outside of that real Judas, outside of the three traitors of Hiram Abiff.

Within our Being there is someone who personifies Judas Iscariot, who is truly interested in the destruction of the ego.

Question: Master, how are we to understand the work of Thomas within us?

Answer: We know very well that Thomas indicates a bit of skepticism, doubt, and all that. But taken to its root, that intimate Thomas we carry within us is obviously related to discernment. It is necessary to learn to discern. It is urgent to use the scalpel of self-criticism to dissect our values, to see what truth they hold. This is how we must understand the inner Thomas, the intimate Thomas.

Each of us, therefore, carries the Twelve Powers within our own Being. And all those autonomous and self-aware parts of the Being, in the Pistis Sophia, are called "THE REGULATORS" of the Aeons, of Destiny, and of the Sphere. They move, then; They do their Work, the Great Work, among the squares, triangles, and octagons... and all this must be understood.

Question: Master, and which of the Beings is in charge of Alchemy?

Answer: Undoubtedly, there is one in charge of Alchemy, and in Alchemy, he is called Antimony, but he is not one of the Twelve Powers.

Question: And regarding a part of our Being?

Answer: What there is, is a specialist in Alchemy whom, I am sure, Antimony obeys, who is precisely James the Greater, the Blessed Patron of the Great Work. Antimony obeys Him in the sense that He is the transcendental one in charge of Alchemy, of the Great Work.

Question: Master, in what sense should we understand Peter when he denied Christ three times?

Answer: There are three purifications to be done by Iron and By Fire. Whoever does not undergo the three purifications does not achieve Christification.

Peter, crucified upside down, indicates that we must descend to the Ninth Sphere, to work with Fire and Water, the origin of worlds, beasts, and Gods. All authentic white Initiation begins there. Peter is telling us this through his crucifixion.

Now, there are three purifications that are Peter's three denials:

—First purification. — First Mountain, that of Initiation.

—Second purification. — The Second Mountain, that of Resurrection.

—Third purification. — When the eight-pointed star and the Book of Job shine upon the summit of the Second Mountain.

One could not reach the Resurrection of the Inner Christ within us without having previously passed through the three purifications based on Iron and Fire.

The rooster crows three times, which is the mercury of secret philosophy, because that is what the rooster, the ROOSTER, or IAO represents. "And before the rooster crows a third time, you will have denied me three times," because the Initiate must descend three times to the Infernal Worlds to work with Fire and Water. These are three purifications based on Iron and Fire; that is why there are three nails on the Cross; that is why there is INRI on the Cross!

IGNIS NATURA RENOVATUR INTEGRA! Fire incessantly renews Nature.

So the Intimate, particular Peter of each one of us performs this work of "denying Christ three times." It is not that he denies Him by denying, but rather that he simply has to descend to work in the "Forge of the Cyclopes," in the Ninth Sphere, before achieving Resurrection. He has to go among the demons in three times, before he can rise from the dead, before he can rise at all. Because the resurrection is made firstly Right here and now.

Question: Master, is the demon of passionate jealousy a product of lust?

Answer: Yes, indeed... such jealousy wouldn't exist if there were no lust.

Question: Master, how should we understand John?

Answer: John is the WORD! THE WORD! He will obviously speak within us with the word of life. He is the Word. He is the Verb. That is how we should understand him.

Question: Beloved Master, since I am more interested in the death of the ego than anything else, you tell us in your talk that the Being is conditioned by the Solar world and all worlds, even the world of ninety-six laws. The Maya speak in their mythology of the underworld or sub-world and cite some aspects of the Being. We, due to a certain experience with the Guardian of the Threshold, like a terrible brother who takes on different forms in that region of the underworld... Can these three Guardians be considered directly as parts of the Self? Can we speak of their aspects in the underworld?

Answer: Obviously, the Guardian of the Threshold, in its three aspects, is: THREE ASPECTS OF THE BEING.
