CHAPTER XXIV
BUSINESS
My friends, gathered here tonight we are going to study very seriously this matter of "Business." Allow me the liberty of telling you that I am not speaking of profane business; I want to refer emphatically to the Business of Karma.
First of all, it is necessary that people understand what the Sanskrit word "Karma" means. It is worth stating that this word in itself means "Law of Action and Consequence."
Obviously, there is no cause without effect, nor effect without cause. Every act in our lives, good or bad, has its consequences. Today I have been reflecting on the misfortune of our world: How happy these intellectual humanoids would be if they had never had that which is called Ego, I, Myself. It is undeniable that the Ego commits countless errors whose result is suffering. If these rational Humanoids were devoid of Ego, they would simply be beautiful, innocent, pure, and infinitely blissful Natural Elementals.
Imagine for a moment, dear friends, such an Earth populated by millions of innocent, Ego-free Humanoids and governed by Divine Kings, Gods, Hierophants, Devas, and so on. Obviously, such a world would certainly be a Paradise, a planet of the blessed. No one can be forced to become a Man. All those millions of Humanoids, even if not men in the fullest sense of the word, could have been infinitely happy had a second, malignant, and terribly perverse nature not arisen within them. Unfortunately, due, as we have already discussed at length in these talks, to the error of some Sacred Individuals, something abnormal appeared within each subject: certain Inhuman Elements within which Consciousness became trapped. It is clear that such Inhuman Elements arose as a result of the evil consequences of the Abominable Kundartiguador Organ. This, dear friends, is how this planetary humanity failed, becoming appallingly malignant. It would have been better if those Sacred Individuals had not given these poor Tri-Brained or Tri-Centered Bipeds that abominable organ of all infamy.
Let us think for a moment of the multitudes of Humanoids that populate the face of the Earth: They suffer unspeakably, victims of their own errors. Without the Ego, they would not have these errors, nor would they suffer their consequences. I have already said in our past conversations that not all Virgin Sparks, not all Humanoids, are interested in Mastery; however, this is no obstacle to Authentic Happiness. In infinite space, there are many Abodes of Bliss for the Humanoid Elementals who have no interest in Mastery.
Undoubtedly, the 3,000 cycles or periods of time assigned to any Essence, to any Monad, for its cosmic manifestation, unfold not only here on our Earth, but also on other worlds in starry space. From all this, you will see, my dear friends, that there are many Mansions of Bliss for Souls, and that Mastery is by no means indispensable to have the right to the authentic enjoyment of the Pure Spirit. The only thing required to have the right to True Happiness is, above all, to have no Ego. Certainly, when the Psychic Aggregates do not exist within us, the Inhuman elements that make us so horrible and evil have no karma to pay, and the result is happiness. Not all the blissful creatures living in all the worlds of infinite space have attained mastery. However, they are in harmony with the cosmic order because they have no ego. When one lives in accordance with right thinking, right feeling, and right action, the consequences are usually blissful. Unfortunately, right thinking, right feeling, right action., become impossible when a second, inhuman nature acts in us, within us, and through us, here and now.
In what we have been saying, confusion must be avoided. It is obvious that of the many, only a few aspire to adeptship, to the intimate self-realization of the Being.
Undoubtedly, these souls become true kings of the universe and terrifically divine gods.
The multitudes, after 3,000 cycles of manifestation, return to the Universal Spirit of Life as simple, blissful Elementals.
The unpleasant thing is that these millions of Humanoid Elementals have created within themselves a subhuman Second Nature, because this, in itself, has made them not only perverse, but also, and what is worse, miserable. If it weren't for the ego, no one would be wrathful, no one would covet the possessions of others, no one would be lustful, envious, proud, lazy, gluttonous, etc., etc., etc.
I deeply regret having to say that Archangel Sakaki and his high retinue of Sacred Individuals, who in archaic times gave humanity the Abominable Kundartiguador Organ, will face unspeakable bitterness and horrific karma on the future Great Cosmic Day, for there is no doubt that due to their error, humanity lost its happiness and became monstrous. May the Holy Gods forgive me for such a statement, but facts are facts, and we must surrender to them, whatever the cost. Fortunately, my dear friends, Justice and Mercy are the two cornerstones of the Universal White Brotherhood.
Justice without Mercy is tyranny; Mercy without Justice is tolerance, complacency with crime.
In this world of misfortunes in which we find ourselves, it is necessary to learn to manage our own affairs, to steer the ship of existence through the various stages of life. Karma is negotiable, and this may greatly surprise the followers of various orthodox schools. Certainly, some pseudo-esotericists and pseudo-occultists have become overly pessimistic regarding the Law of Action and Consequence; they mistakenly assume that it unfolds in a mechanistic, automatic, and cruel manner. Scholars believe that it is impossible to alter such a Law; I sincerely regret having to disagree with this way of thinking.
If the Law of Action and Consequence, if the Nemesis of existence were not negotiable, then where would Divine Mercy be? Frankly, I cannot accept cruelty in Divinity.
The Real, That which is all Perfection, That which has various names such as Tao, Aum, Inri, Sein, Allah, Brahma, God, or rather, Gods, etc., etc., etc., could in no way be something without mercy, cruel, tyrannical, etc. Therefore, I emphatically repeat that Karma is negotiable. "When a lower law is transcended by a higher law, the higher law washes away the lower law."
Do good works so that you may pay your debts. The Lion of the Law is fought with the Scales.
He who has the means to pay, pays and prospers in his business; "He who has nothing with which to pay will pay with pain." If we place good deeds on one side of the Cosmic Scales and bad deeds on the other, it is evident that Karma will depend on the weight of the Scales. If the side of bad deeds weighs more, the result will be bitterness. However, it is possible to increase the weight of good deeds on the scales' pointer, and in this way, we will cancel Karma without suffering.
All we need to do is perform good deeds to increase the weight on the side of good deeds. Now you will understand, my good friends, how wonderful it is to do good; there is no doubt that Right Thinking, Right Feeling, and Right Action are the best of all.
We should never protest against Karma; the important thing is knowing how to negotiate it.
Unfortunately, the only thing people can think of when they find themselves in great bitterness is to wash their hands like Pilate, to say that they have done nothing wrong, that they are not guilty, that they are righteous souls, etc., etc. etc. I tell those who are in misery to examine their behavior, to judge themselves, to sit, even for a moment, in the dock, and after a brief self-analysis, to modify their conduct.
If those who are unemployed were to become chaste, infinitely charitable, peaceful, and one hundred percent helpful, it is obvious that they would radically alter the cause of their misfortunes, consequently modifying the effect.
It is not possible to alter an effect if the cause that produced it has not first been radically modified, because, as we have already said, there is no effect without a cause, nor a cause without an effect. There is no doubt that misery has its causes in drunkenness, disgusting lust, violence, adultery, wastefulness, greed, etc., etc.
It is not possible for someone to be in misery when the Father who is in Secret is present here and now. I want to illustrate this with a story...
On one occasion, my True Self My Inner Self, my Immortal Monad, took me out of my Physical Body to give me instructions regarding a certain disciple. Once these were completed, I had no hesitation in addressing the Inner Lord with the following words: "I am tired of having a Body; and what I would like is to disincarnate." At that moment, the Lord of perfections, my Inner God, answered in a solemn voice: "Why do you protest? I have given you bread, clothing, and shelter, and you still protest? Do you remember the last days of your past existence? You walked the streets of Mexico barefoot, with torn, old, clothes, in the most appalling misery. And how did you come to die? In a filthy hovel." Then I was absent.” At such times the Lord’s Face shone forth; in His deep eyes the Infinite Heaven was reflected; His white Robe of Glory reached to His feet; all in Him was Perfection. “Lord,” I said to Him, “I have come to kiss your hand and receive Your Blessing.” The Adorable One blessed me, and I kissed His right hand. After I returned to my physical body, I entered into meditation. Indeed, my dear brothers, when the child goes astray, the Father is absent, and then the child falls into disgrace. I believe that now you are beginning to understand better, my dear friends, what misery is, why it comes, and how it comes. The Father who is in secret has sufficient power to give to us and to take away as well. “Blessed is the man whom God chastises.”
Karma is a medicine applied to us for our own good. Unfortunately, instead of bowing reverently before the Eternal Living God, people protest, blaspheme, justify themselves, make foolish excuses, and wash their hands like Pilate.
Such protests do not alter Karma; on the contrary, they make it harsher and more severe. We demand fidelity from our spouse when we ourselves have been adulterous in this life or in previous lives. We ask for love when we have been ruthless and cruel. We request understanding when we have never known how to understand anyone, when we have never learned to see another's point of view. We yearn for immense happiness when we have always been the source of much misfortune. We would have liked to be born into a beautiful home with many comforts when, in past lives, we did not know how to provide our children with a home and beauty. We protest against insulters when we have always insulted everyone around us. We want our children to obey us when we never knew how to obey our parents. We are terribly bothered by slander when we ourselves have always been slanderers and filled the world with pain. We are annoyed by gossip; we don't want anyone to whisper about us, and yet we have always been involved in gossip and backbiting, speaking ill of our neighbors, making life miserable for others—in other words, we always demand what we haven't given.
In our past lives, we were wicked and deserve the worst, but we assume that we should be given the best. The sick, instead of worrying so much about themselves, should work for others, do charitable works, try to heal others, comfort the afflicted, take doctors to those who cannot afford them, give away medicine, etc., and in this way, they would cancel their karma and be completely healed.
Those who suffer in their homes should increase their humility, patience, and serenity. Do not respond with foul language, do not tyrannize your neighbor, do not annoy those around you, and know how to forgive the faults of others with infinite patience. In this way, they would cancel their Karma and become better.
Unfortunately, my dear friends, that Ego that each of us carries within does exactly the opposite of what we are saying here; for this reason, I consider it urgent, imperative, and non-postponed to reduce the ego to cosmic dust.
Q: Beloved Master, do you consider your mission fulfilled if you manage to transform intellectual Humanoids into innocent beings?
A: I will gladly answer this question... Many prophets, great Avatars, and Masters fought in ancient times against the evil consequences of the Abominable Kundartiguador Organ. This is a mission of popular order whose purpose is to return humanity to total innocence.
Such Saints, in ancient times, also had their Esoteric Circle for those of the Direct Path, for those who in all ages aspired to Mastery.
Behold then, friends, the two Circles: The Exoteric or Public and the Esoteric or Secret. It is worth reminding you that the great confessional religions fulfill precisely these two needs. Any confessional religion serves both the multitudes and the Initiates. I believe you have now fully understood the meaning of my mission on the face of this afflicted world in which we live.
Q- Master, all suffering Whatever kind of suffering one experiences, can it be attributed to the Father's absence?
-A- Friends, there are voluntary and involuntary sufferings. The former are experienced by those who follow the Direct Path, the Solar Way; the latter are the result of our own Karma. It is obvious that when the child goes astray, the Father is absent, and the consequence is pain.
Q- Regarding Nemesis or Karma, is it possible that any suffering can be negotiated with the Lords of Karma?
A-Esteemed friends, I want you to understand that when a particular Karma is fully developed and unfolded, it must inevitably reach its end. This means that it is only possible to radically modify Karma when repentance is complete, and when all possibility of repeating the error that produced it has been completely eliminated.
Karma reaching its end is always catastrophic. Not all Karma is negotiable. It is also good to know that when we have radically eliminated the Ego, the possibility of wrongdoing is annihilated, and consequently, Karma can be forgiven.
CHAPTER XXV
DIRECT EXPERIENCE
. In closing, I want to emphasize the need to directly experience everything we have explained. "The Experience of the Real" is fundamental and definitive for Creative Understanding. The time has come to understand, with complete clarity, that we certainly possess a definitive psychological factor through which it is possible to verify what we have said in all these meetings.
I want to refer with great solemnity to the very foundation of our Psychic Organization, to that element which has not yet been lost: The Essence.
It is undeniable that within it, within Consciousness, resides the Buddha, the Doctrine, the Religion, and Wisdom. In short, we can affirm that within the Essence, within Consciousness, lie deposited the essential data for Regeneration, Intimate Self-Realization, and the complete experience of all that we have discussed in these talks.
This means that if the basic principles of Regeneration are found in this primary element, the primordial foundation of our entire Psychic Organization, then obviously, the first thing we must do is destroy, annihilate, that infernal Second Nature within which the Essence is imprisoned.
It is clear and evident that upon unbottle the Essence, upon its liberation, it awakens radically. The advantages that this event can truly provide us, as you can see, are numerous. The first of these advantages is magnificent in itself, for it has the capacity to fundamentally guide us, wisely directing our steps along the Razor's Edge Path, which will lead us to Final Liberation. The second of these advantages leads us along the path of varied Direct Experiences to the complete verification of each and every one of the statements we have made in these talks.
Complete illumination, luminous experience, practical confirmation, is the modus operandi of the Essence unbottled , awakened, Self-Aware one.
Complete annihilation of all the Undesirable Elements that constitute the I, the Ego, is outside of every doubt is urgent, unavoidable. We need to learn to voluntarily direct all the functions of our psyche.
It is not good for us to remain slaves; we must become masters and lords of ourselves. As the undesirable elements are eliminated, consciousness awakens.
However, we need to become serious, because until now we have not been serious people. Each of us, currently, is nothing more than a log amidst the raging waves of the sea of existence. I repeat: We need to become serious; this statement implies a terrifying self-vigilance from instant to instant, from moment to moment. Remember what we have already said in previous talks: In relation to our fellow human beings, the defects we keep hidden surface spontaneously, and if we are alert and vigilant like a sentry in times of war, then we discover them. In every self-discovery there is also self-revelation. The discovered defect must be rigorously analyzed, studied at all levels of the mind, and fully understood through the various processes of deep inner meditation.
A little later, once the defect we have analyzed is fully understood, come the supplications to Devi Kundalini, our particular Divine Cosmic Mother, so that she may eliminate and disintegrate the defect in question. The work is very profound, my esteemed brothers and sisters, terrifyingly serious, extremely deep. Only in this way is it possible to extirpate, to eradicate from our psyche many undesirable, subhuman, and shadowy elements within which the Essence is imprisoned. As Consciousness awakens, the possibilities for direct experience become increasingly clear and continuous. Above all, my dear friends, I want you to learn how to practically manage the various flashes of awakened Consciousness.
In practical life, we can carefully note the concrete fact that all people live with their consciousness asleep. At this moment, memories of something unusual come to mind. Some 17 or 18 years ago, while I was in a market with my wife, Priestess Litelantes, as we were picking up a watch she had sent to be repaired, we were suddenly shaken by a violent dynamite explosion. Litelantes, horrified, begged me to return home immediately. Obviously, my answer was a firm no; I had no intention of exposing our lives to a second explosion that I knew was bound to happen. Her pleas were in vain... At that moment, the sirens and bells of the firefighters rang out. Those humble and martyred servants of humanity rushed to the scene of the explosions... "Of all these firefighters who had just entered the scene, not one will be saved; they will die." Such were my words. Litelantes, horrified, remained silent. Moments later, a second explosion shook the City terribly... The result was the death of all those humble servants. They disintegrated instantly, for not even their bodies were found; only a sergeant's boot was discovered nearby.
Frankly, I was astonished by the degree of unconsciousness in which those firefighters found themselves. If they had been awake, they would certainly not have perished. I still remember the cries of the women fleeing that market, and the horrified children clinging to their mothers' skirts. If I hadn't been awake, I obviously would have perished, because hundreds of people died at the very spot where I was supposed to catch the bus, so essential for getting home. I still haven't been able to forget the countless corpses lying on the sidewalk, covered with newspaper. Undoubtedly, those victims were victims of curiosity... They were onlookers, unconscious people, "asleep," who, after the first explosion, had gone to the scene to watch. If those people had been awake, they would never have gone there as onlookers. Unfortunately, they were fast asleep; that's how they met their deaths.
When we returned home, our neighbors were alarmed; they assumed we were dead. They were certainly amazed that, despite being so close to the site of the catastrophe, we were still able to return alive.
Therein lies the advantage of being "awake." We must awaken, friends, and learn to live alert from moment to moment, from instant to instant. It is imperative to always divide our attention into three parts: 1st - SUBJECT 2nd - OBJECT 3rd - PLACE.
SUBJECT: Not forgetting ourselves, self-monitoring every second, every moment. This implies a state of alertness in relation to our thoughts, gestures, actions, emotions, habits, words, etc., etc., etc.
OBJECT: Meticulous observation of all those objects or representations that reach the mind through the senses. Never identifying with things because that is how one falls into fascination and the sleep of consciousness.
PLACE: Daily observation of our house, our bedroom, as if it were something new; asking ourselves daily: Why have I arrived here, in this place, at this market, in this office, at this temple, etc., etc., etc.?
These three aspects of the Division of Attention in no way constitute a separate chapter, nor something different from the process of the dissolution of the ego.
Undoubtedly, we need to study ourselves, to observe ourselves from moment to moment, if we truly want to discover our own psychological defects; for, as we have already said, in relation to our fellow human beings, hidden defects surface spontaneously, naturally. It is not merely a matter of self-observing the steps we take, nor the forms of our bodies, etc. Vigilance over ourselves implies the silent and serene study of all our intimate psychological processes: emotions, passions, thoughts, words, etc., etc., etc.
Observing things without identification will allow us to understand the processes of greed, attachment, ambition, and so on. It is undeniable that a greedy person will find it very difficult not to identify with a diamond ring, or with a few banknotes, and so on.
Observing places will allow us to understand the extent of our attachments and fascinations in relation to different locations. This threefold exercise in attention is, therefore, a complete exercise for Self-Discovery and Awakening Consciousness...
I was still very young, a tender adolescent, when I instinctively practiced the marvelous exercise mentioned here. As I speak to you about this, two special cases come to mind, which I will relate... First: One evening, I entered through the doors of a magnificent mansion; silently, I crossed a beautiful garden until I reached a sumptuous hall. Moved by an inner impulse, I went a little further and boldly entered a lawyer's office. At the desk, I found a lady of average height, with gray hair, a pale face, thin lips, and a snub nose. She was a respectable-looking lady of medium height. Her body was neither very thin nor too heavy. Her gaze seemed rather melancholic and serene. With a sweet and gentle voice, the lady invited me to take a seat at the desk. At that moment, something unusual happened: I saw two glass butterflies on the desk that seemed to have a life of their own; they moved their wings, breathed, looked around, etc., etc., etc. The case, by the way, seemed to me far too exotic and strange: Two glass butterflies, and with a life of their own? Accustomed as I was to dividing my attention into three parts, first, I didn't forget myself; second, I didn't identify with those glass butterflies; third, I carefully observed the place. Contemplating these glass creatures, I said to myself, "This cannot be a phenomenon of the Physical World, because in Euclid's Three-Dimensional Region I have never encountered glass butterflies with a life of their own. Undoubtedly, this must be a phenomenon of the Astral World." I then looked around and asked myself the following questions: "Why am I in this place? Why have I come here? What am I doing here?" Turning to the lady, I said to her, "Madam, please allow me to step out into the garden for a moment, and I will return shortly." The lady nodded, and I left the office for a moment. Once outside in the garden, I took a long, narrow jump, intending to float in the surrounding air. Great was my astonishment when I verified for myself that I was indeed outside my physical body. Then I understood that I was in the astral plane. At that moment, I remembered that it had been a long time, several hours, since I had left my physical body, and that it was undoubtedly now resting in its bed. Having made this singular verification, I returned to the office where the lady awaited me. Then I wanted to convince her that I was outside my physical body. "Madam," I said, "you and I are outside our physical bodies. I want you to remember that a few hours ago you went to sleep in bed; now you are here talking with me outside your physical body, for it is well known that when the body sleeps, the consciousness, the essence, unfortunately trapped within the ego, wanders outside the corporeal vehicle." Having said all these words, the lady looked at me with the eyes of a sleepwalker, but she didn't understand; I realized that this lady's consciousness was asleep... Not wanting to insist any further, I took my leave of her and left the place. Afterward, I headed toward California, with the purpose of carrying out some important research... On the way, I encountered a disembodied man who in life had been a porter carrying heavy loads in the public markets; the unfortunate man, carrying an enormous bundle on his back, seemed to be suffering terribly... Approaching the deceased, I said to him:
My friend, what's wrong? Why are you carrying such a heavy burden on your aching back? The unfortunate man, looking at me with sleepwalker's eyes, replied, "I'm working." "But sir," I insisted, "you died a long time ago. That burden you carry on your shoulders is nothing more than a mental construct. Abandon it."... It was all in vain; that poor dead man didn't understand me; his consciousness was too asleep... Wanting to help him, I floated around him in the surrounding environment with the purpose of alarming him, of making him understand that something strange was happening in his existence; of letting him know in some way that he was dead, etc., etc., but it was all useless. Later, after conducting the necessary investigations, I returned to my physical vehicle, which lay asleep in the bed.
Q: Master, do you mean that there is no possibility of Direct Experience, as you have explained in your talks, without the dissolution of Psychological Defects?
A: I will answer this question from the audience carefully... Gentlemen, friends, ladies who are listening, Direct Experience is associated to the percentages of awakened Consciousness. Normally, people only possess 3% awakened Consciousness, and 97% Sub-consciousness or dormant Consciousness. Undoubtedly, when one reaches 4 or 5% awakened Consciousness, the first glimmers of Direct Experience begin. Distinguish between "glimmers" and "total fullness," which are different. Someone who possesses, for example, 10% awakened Consciousness, will therefore have a higher percentage of lucidity than those who possess 4 or 5%. In any case, as the Essence is liberated, as the Ego begins to dissolve, the capacity for direct investigation will also increase progressively and systematically. The exercise of the Division of Attention into three parts, as we have explained in this talk, will allow us to demonstrate beyond a doubt the degree of Consciousness acquired. I have therefore taught here doctrine and procedures for Awakening Consciousness. I have given the effective system for Use the acquired percentages of Consciousness intelligently. When the Ego has been radically annihilated, Consciousness becomes fully awakened; in these circumstances, we can descend at will into the Infernal Worlds for the purpose of seeing, hearing, touching, and feeling the raw reality of such submerged regions. This type of investigation, being so advanced, can only be carried out satisfactorily with an absolutely awakened Consciousness.
Q: Master, you spoke to us of two advantages that come from the Essence, the first being that it guides us to live properly and the second that it allows us Direct Experience. In the experience you had in the market of the Federal Colony, due to a tremendous explosion, which of the two faculties of the Essence allowed you to save your life?
A: Noble sir, allow me to inform you that the second of these qualities of Consciousness, that of Direct Experience, allowed me to know in advance the event that was going to happen, which was the death of those firefighters.
Q: Master, could you explain to us what the difference is between Projections of The Mind and Real Experiences?
- With the greatest pleasure, I will answer this new question from the audience... Allow me to inform you, ladies and gentlemen, mental projections are entirely subjective, quite different, of course, from real experiences, which are objective. In the first case, the mind projects what it has subconsciously elaborated, and, identified with these projections, falls into the fascination and dreams characteristic of the unconscious.
In the second case, the mind has exhausted the process of thinking, does not project, is open to the new, receives without identification, and in the absence of all fascination and dreaming.
I will illustrate this answer with a supersensible account: While outside my physical body, at a time when it was fast asleep in bed, I invoked a certain disembodied person who, in life, had been a close family member. The deceased appeared dressed in a certain gray suit he had worn in life; He came in laughing to himself, he truly seemed like a sleepwalker, chatting away nonsense (something he'd overheard from someone)... My attempts to make him recognize me were useless: the poor fellow was fast asleep... He certainly didn't see me; deep down, he truly perceived only his own mental forms, and he laughed like a madman, like an idiot. Here are two aspects that clarify the question at hand. The deceased was projecting his own mental forms, dreaming about them, he was absolutely fascinated by them, and he didn't even perceive me.
In the second case, I was completely conscious, awake, I knew that my physical body had fallen asleep in bed, I wasn't projecting, I had exhausted the process of thinking, I was open to the new, I received the disembodied spirit, I examined him, I realized the deplorable state he was in... With this account, I have illustrated the question that arose from the audience.
Q- Beloved Master, regarding the practice of dividing attention into three parts, which is done here in the Physical World, how can it affect the Astral World if they are two completely different worlds?
A-My friends, if we observe the life of normal, common, and ordinary dreams, we can see the concrete fact that many dream scenes correspond to the occurrences of daily life, to the events we have experienced here in the Physical World, to the actions of each moment. As a direct consequence of what we are stating, we can emphasize the fact that the practice of dividing attention into three parts is also repeated, as in the case of dreams, during those hours when the Essence, trapped within the Ego, is outside the Physical Body. I believe you are aware that when the Body sleeps, the Essence, trapped within the I, moves away from the Physical Body. Therefore, if we become accustomed to practicing this exercise here in the Physical World, from instant to instant and moment to moment, we will later repeat it instinctively during sleep, and the result will be the Awakening of Consciousness.
Then we will be able to see, hear, touch, and feel everything we have been discussing in these talks regarding Hell, the Devil, and Karma. As the Ego dissolves, Consciousness will awaken more and more, and we will be able to demonstrate this through the exercise of Dividing Attention into Three Parts. Once the Ego is completely dissolved, the exercise taught here will allow us to use Consciousness, voluntarily, for the investigation of the Great Realities.
Q: Master, how could the difference between the Real and the Unreal, the Illusory and the True, the Objective and the Subjective be made accessible to the layperson?
A: very interesting question has come from the audience, and I will hasten to answer it. My friends, a few nights ago we were watching some scientific news on television... Through various on-screen presentations, the public was informed about experiments that scientists are currently conducting with the brain. By connecting certain nodes to the brain, scientists can control its various sections. Under these conditions, the Human Machine can be controlled by means of waves, and this has already been absolutely proven. Experiments were also carried out in the bullring: A scientist, using such a system, was able to stop the bull, making it desist from its attack at the very moment it was performing the pass with the cape. This has perfectly demonstrated that every organism is a machine susceptible to being controlled like any other. In the case of the humanoid machine, it is obvious that the various inhuman Psychic Aggregates, which succeed one another and control different brain regions at different times, completely replace the brain nodes, brain waves, and automatic machines by which scientists can control brains. In other words, scientists, at certain times, through their electrical systems, perform the same role as the Psychic Aggregates; that is, they demonstrate the reality of such Aggregates through the role they play. Someone has to control the brain to perform actions. Either the Psychic Aggregates control it, or scientists control it through special electrical systems. In any case, the research fully confirms what we are saying: The intellectual humanoid is an unconscious, automatic, subconscious machine. How could an unconscious machine accept that it is asleep? How could such a machine claim that the world is maya, illusion, etc.?
The humanoid machine, by its very nature as a machine, dreams, but is unaware that it dreams, denies that it dreams, firmly believes it is awake, and would never accept the idea that it is asleep.
The automatic and mechanized humanoid is incapable of differentiating the objective from the subjective, precisely because it is mechanized, and takes what is subjective as objective, and vice versa.
The sleeping machine, the humanoid automaton, is far from being able to understand the difference between Objective Consciousness and Subjective Consciousness; the machine has its own theories based precisely on the deep sleep of Consciousness. It is in no way possible to make a sleeping layperson understand the difference between Consciousness and Sub-consciousness, between Objectivity and Subjectivity, between Sleep and Wakefulness, etc., etc., etc.
Only by awakening Consciousness is it possible to accept such differences. Unfortunately, the layperson believes they are awake, and even takes offense when someone tells them their Consciousness is asleep. Speaking in Socratic terms, we would say that the "enlightened ignoramus," the sleeping layman, the Unconscious Machine, "not only is ignorant, but also ignorant of his ignorance; not only is he unknowing, but worse still, he is unaware that he is unknowing."
My friends, it is necessary to stop being Machines; when someone accepts that they are a machine, they begin to cease being one; a little later, the veil of illusions shatters. We need to become Human Beings, and this is only possible by destroying, by annihilating the Psychic Aggregates that incessantly alternate with each other to control the Organic Machine.
It is essential to attain reality, to cease being mere automatons moved by waves or by Aggregates, which is the same thing, and to become Responsible, Conscious, and True Individuals.
Q- Master, what is the difference between the exercise of the Division of Attention into three parts and the Dissolution of the Ego to Awaken Consciousness?
A-Ladies and gentlemen, throughout all these talks we have been especially interested in the dissolution of the Ego, in the complete destruction of all those Psychic Aggregates within which Consciousness is trapped, bottled up.
I think we've been too clear, that we've provided a perfect guide for the absolute annihilation of the I. We've explained ad nauseam that only through the radical annihilation of the Inhuman Elements within us can we liberate the Essence, awaken it.
In today's talk, we gave a specific, defined exercise. We spoke of the "Division of Attention into Three Parts," with the purpose of using, in an increasingly perfect way, the various percentages of Awakened Consciousness that we achieve through the Death of the I-Ego.
In the first case, there is a complete doctrine related to the Annihilation of the ego. In the second case, there is a marvelous exercise, a practice that will allow us to use the Consciousness we achieve in a perfect, clear, and precise way. In any case, it is necessary to truly become competent researchers of Esotericism and Pure Occultism. This is what we want, and with such intentions, we have given, through these talks, the indispensable doctrine.
Inverential Peace!
Samael Aun Weor-Kalki Avatar-Buddha Maitreya of the Aquarius Age.
