That which we call the ordinary vigil-state consciousness is profound sleep. Ordinary consciousness of the vigil state is related to the five senses and the brain. People believe that they have an awakened consciousness and that is absolutely false. Daily, people live in the most profound sleep.
SUPRACONSCIOUSNESS
Supraconsciousness is an attribute of the Intimus (the Spirit). The faculty of Supraconsciousness is intuition.
It becomes necessary to compel our Supraconsciousness to work, for the intuition to become powerful. Let us remember that an organ that is not used becomes atrophied. The intuition of people who do not work with their Supraconsciousness is atrophied. Polyvision is intuitive clairvoyance. It is Divine Omniscience. This Eye is found in the pineal gland. There resides the thousand-petal lotus. There resides Supraconsciousness. The pineal gland is located in the up per part of the brain. He who wants to develop Supraconsciousness should practice internal meditation. Concentrate on the Divine Mother who resides in the depths of your Being. Meditate on her. Fall asleep praying that she may put your supraconsciousness into activity. Meditate daily.
Meditation is the Daily Bread of the wise. With meditation you will develop supraconsciousness.
MEMORY
You need memory to remember your internal experiences. Do not spill the semen. Know that in the semen are millions of microscopic brain cells. You must not lose those cells.
SPECIAL NOURISHMENT TO DEVELOP THE POWER OF THE MEMORY
Prepare your breakfast with acid fruits, and almonds ground with honey from the bee. In this way you provide the brain with the necessary atoms for the memory.
INTERNAL EXPERIENCES
While the body sleeps, the ego lives in the internal worlds and travels to different places. In the internal worlds we are tested many times. We receive initiation in the internal temples. It becomes necessary to remember everything that we do outside the body. With the instructions given in this book every human being will be able to awaken consciousness and remember his internal experiences. It is painful to know that there are many Initiates who work in the Great Temples of the White Lodge whilst their physical body sleeps, and yet they do not remember anything because their memory is atrophied.
Here you have the exercises to develop the memory. Practice in tensely. Make the subconsciousness work. Awaken the conscious ness, and put the supraconsciousness into activity.
CLAIRVOYANCE AND PSEUDO CLAIRVOYANCE
There exist clairvoyance and pseudo-clairvoyance. The Gnostic student should make a clear differentiation between these two forms of extrasensory perception.
Clairvoyance is based in objectivity; pseudo-clairvoyance is based in subjectivity.
Understand that by objectivity we mean spiritual reality, the spiritual world. Understand that by subjectivity we mean the physical world, the world of illusion, that which has no reality. There is also an intermediate region, the Astral World, which can be objective or subjective according to the degree of spiritual development of each person.
So-called pseudo-clairvoyance is imaginary perception, fantasy, artificially evoked hallucinations, absurd dreams, astral visions that do not coincide with concrete facts, the reading of ones own projected unconscious thoughts in the astral light, the unconscious creation of astral visions interpreted later as authentic realities etc., etc.
Also belonging to the field of pseudo-clairvoyance are subjective mysticism, false mysticism, the pseudo-mystic states that have no relation to intense and clear feeling, but which come close to tales and pseudo-magic. In other words, false religious influences projected unconsciously in the astral light, and in general, all that which in orthodox literature is given the name of “beauty” (seduction).
OBJECTIVE CLAIRVOYANCE
There are four mental states that lead the neophyte to the ineffable summits of objective clairvoyance; first; profound sleep. Second; to sleep and dream. Third; the state of vigil. Fourth; Turiya or state of perfect illumination.
Really only the Turiya is an authentic clairvoyant. It is impossible to reach these heights without having been born in the causal world. Whoever wishes to reach the state of Turiya should thoroughly study the semi-unconscious psychic processes which actually constitute the origin of many forms of self-deception, self-suggestion and hypnosis.
The Gnostic should first attain the ability to stop the course of his thoughts, the capacity to Not Think. Only he who achieves that capacity will really hear the Voice of Silence. When the Gnostic disciple attains the capacity of not thinking, then he should learn to con cent rate his thought on a single thing. The third step is correct meditation. This brings the first flashes of the new consciousness to the mind. The fourth step is contemplation, ecstasy or Samãdhi. This is the state of Turiya (perfect clairvoyance).
CLARIFICATION
We want to make it clear that in the Gnostic movement there are a few Turiya. It is necessary to know, that there only exist pseudo-clairvoyants and subjective mystics with few, very rare exceptions.
In reality all the mystic schools and all the spiritualist movements are full of misguided pseudo-clairvoyants who cause more harm than good. They are the ones who give themselves the title of Master. Among them abound famous reincarnations. The John the Baptists, of whom we know more than a dozen, the Mary Magdalena etc., etc. This type of person believes that initiation is as easy as blowing bubbles. Based on their supposed Mastery arid their absurd visions created by their morbid mentality, they prophesy and excommunicate others at their whim, as they like, slandering people and denominating others black magicians, asserting that certain people are fallen etc., etc.
The Gnostic Movement must purify itself of this evil and harmful plague, and so we have begun with the expulsion of Mrs. X.X.
We are not willing to further tolerate the unhealthy morbidity of all those misguided pseudo-clairvoyants and all those subjective mystics. We disseminate spiritual intellectual culture, decency, refinement, logical analysis, conceptual synthesis, academic culture, higher mathematics, philosophy, science, art, religion etc., etc. In no way are we willing to continue to accept the gossip of hallucinating people, nor the madness of dreamers. Really, the subjective clairvoyant transfers his dream consciousness to the state of vigil to see in others his projected dreams. The latter change according to the state of mind of the dreamer. In the past we have been able to confirm that when some pseudo- clairvoyant agreed with all our ideas and concepts, he would see us as Angels or Gods, and then he would praise us and even adore us.
Nevertheless, when he changed his concept, when the pseudo-clairvoyant became enthusiastic about some new school, when he read some book that appeared marvelous to him, when he listened to some lecturer who came to town, when he re solved to change organizations or schools, then he would accuse us of being black magicians and would see us as demons, etc. This demonstrates that these pseudo-clairvoyants are only dreamers who see their own dreams projected in the astral light.
Those who really want to reach the ineffable heights of true and legitimate clairvoyance must be extremely careful of the danger from those who deceive themselves, and should submit themselves to authentic esoteric discipline.
REALITY
The true and legitimate clairvoyant, he who has achieved supraconsciousness, never presumes to be clairvoyant, never goes about saying so. When he gives advice, he does so without giving others to understand that he bases it on his clairvoyance.
All Gnostic sanctuaries must beware of those people who praise themselves and call themselves clairvoyant.
All Gnostic sanctuaries must exercise the greatest of vigilance to protect themselves against the spectacular pseudo-clairvoyants who, from time to time, appear on the scene to slander and discredit others, assuring us that so-and-so is a sorcerer, that so-and-so is a black magician, that so-and-so is fallen etc. It is urgent to comprehend that no authentic Turiya has pride. Really all those who say, “I am the reincarnation of Mary Magdalene, John the Baptist, Napoleon” etc., are proud fools, misguided pseudo-clairvoyants, and stupid fools.
Before the terrible and glorious majesty of the Father we are nothing but miserable particles of dust, horrible worms of the mud. What I am saying is neither an allegorical nor a symbolical matter. I am speaking literally, crudely, about a terrible reality.
Really it is the “I” that says, “I am Master such-and-such, the rein carnation of prophet so-and-so” etc., etc. Certainly the animal “I” is Satan. It is the “I”, the ego-devil, who feels himself to be a Master, Mahatma, Hierophant, Prophet etc.
CONSCIOUSNESS, SUBCONSCIOUSNESS AND SUPRACONSCIOUSNESS
Consciousness, subconsciousness and supraconsciousness come down to only one thing: human consciousness. We need to awaken consciousness. Whoever awakens consciousness becomes supra-conscious, reaches the heights of supraconsciousness, becoming a true illuminated clairvoyant, a Turiya. It is urgent to convert the subconsciousness into consciousness and totally awaken consciousness.
It is necessary that the totality of the consciousness be absolutely awakened. Only the person who has the whole of his consciousness awakened is a true clairvoyant, an illuminate, a Turiya.
So-called infraconsciousness, unconsciousness, subconsciousness etc., are only different forms or zones of the sleeping consciousness. It is urgent to awaken consciousness to become illuminated, a clairvoyant, supraconsciousness.
THE SIX FUNDAMENTAL DIMENSIONS
Beyond the three known dimensions, length, breadth and height, there is the fourth dimension Time; and beyond time we have the fifth dimension Eternity. Nevertheless we can assure you that beyond eternity exists a sixth dimension; beyond eternity and time. In this sixth fundamental dimension the total liberation begins. Only the person who awakens in all the six fundamental dimensions of space is a true clairvoyant, a Turiya, a legitimate enlightened one.
