During the course of the existence, different types of energies flow through the human organism. Each type of energy has its own system of action. Each type of energy manifests itself in its own time. The motor and muscular force manifests itself four and a half months after conception; this is related to the birth of the respiratory and pulmonary function. At ten and a half months, growth with all its marvelous metabolisms and conjunctive tissues. When the child is between two and three years old, the fontanel of the newly born closes and the cerebral-spinal system is completely formed.
The human personality is formed during the first seven years and at 14 years personal energy appears and, flowing domineeringly through the sympathetic nervous system, sex appears at 35 years in its transcendental form of creative emotion. It is upon reaching this age that we can make what is called Soul. Normal man does not have a soul, or rather, he still is NOT a man, he doesn’t even have a soul.
The intellectual animal falsely named man is a machine controlled by the Legion of the EGO. This is pluralized. I must read a book, says the intellectual function. I am going to a football match, says the motor function; I am hungry, I shall not go anywhere, states the digestion; I prefer to find a woman, says the EGO of passion etc. etc. All these EGOES argue among themselves. The EGO that today swears faithfulness to GNOSIS is replaced by another that hates GNOSIS. The EGO that today adores a woman is later replaced by another that hates her. Only by making soul do we establish a permanent principle of consciousness within ourselves. He who has Soul lives consciously after death. The Soul may be created with the accumulation of the finest energies the organism produces and the crystallization through supreme efforts, to make one self conscious in a total and definitive way. Unfortunately, the intellectual animal called man, wastes these energies stupidly on cravings, anger, fears, hate, envy, passions, jealousy, etc.
It is urgent that we create conscious will, it is indispensable that we subject all our thoughts and acts to the INNER JUDGEMENT. Only in this way can we know ourselves in depth in order to create Soul.
