Distinguished friends, esteemed ladies, today the 9th of December of the 10th year of Aquarius (1972), we meet once again in this place with the desire to study profoundly the theme of the dissolution of the psychological “I”.
Before anything else, it is indispensable to carefully analyze this matter of the ego.
Diverse schools of a pseudo-esoteric and pseudo-occult type emphasize the absurd idea of a double “I”: the first they denominate Superior “I”; and the second they called Inferior “I’.
We say that whether Superior or Inferior, they are two sections of the same thing.
Much has been talked about the Alter-Ego and it is even praised or deified, considering it divine.
In the name of the truth, it is indispensable to say that the Superior “I” or Inferior “I” are two aspects of the same ego and therefore, to praise the first one and underestimate the second one, is without a doubt something that is illogical.
Focusing directly on this matter, looking at ego as it is in itself and without any types of arbitrary divisions (Superior and Inferior), it is clear that we must stablish a correct differentiation between what is the “I” and what is the Being.
It could be objected that such a differentiation is nothing more than another concept emitted by the intellect.
Those who listen would even find escape routes, affirming that one more or one less concept in matters of philosophy is something that does not have the least importance.
There are those inclusive who can give themselves the luxury of listening to these affirmations and then forget them, to pay attention to something that they do consider important.
People of asleep consciousness often gloss over affirmations of this type due to being tired of so much theory.
These persons talk to themselves in this manner: What does one more theory matter?
What does one less theory matter?
We should talk with complete frankness and based on facts, on direct experiences, and not on simple opinions of a subjective type.
I will tell you, my friends, what is real to me, what I have seen and heard and if you want to accept my affirmations you are welcome to do so, but if you want to reject them, it is your business
Every human being is free to accept, reject or interpret the teachings as he wishes.
At the beginning of this actual reincarnation, I was also like many of you. I had read several pseudo and pseudo-occultist books.
Searching as you did, I passed through diverse schools and got to know multiple theories. It is ostensible that because of so much reading and rereading, I came to also believe in the existence of two “I’s” the Superior one and the Inferior one.
Distinct preceptors told me that one had to dominate the Inferior “I” through the Superior “I” to be able to one day achieve Adepthood.
I frankly confess to the fact that I was completely convinced of the existence of the so-called two “I’s”
Fortunately, a mystical transcendental happening came to shake me intensely to the bottom of my soul.
It happened that one night, the date does not matter, nor the day or hour, finding myself outside the physical body in a completely conscious and positive manner; my Real Inner Being, My Inner-Self came to me.
Smiling the Blessed One said, “You have to die.” These phrases of my Inner-Self left me perplexed, confused, stunned.
With some fear, I interrogated my Interior Being (Atman), saying, “Why do I have to die? Let me live a little longer, I am working for humanity…” I still remember that instant in which the Blessed one smiling repeated to me for a second time, “You have to die.”
Afterward, the Adorable One showed me in the astral light, that, which should die in myself. Then I saw the Pluralized “I” formed by a multitude of tenebrous entities, a true mass of perverse subjects, psychic aggregates, of distinct types, living demons personifying errors.
It is in this manner my friends, that I came to know that the “I” is not something individual, but it is a sum of psychic aggregates; a total of multiple quarrelsome and yelling “I”.
I did not really see in the Ego anything worthy of being adored, any type of divinity, etc.
On arriving at this point in my exposition, it would not be strange that some of the participants will object to my words, saying, “Possibly you, sir, saw your inferior “I”, the sum of psychic aggregates as oriental Buddhism affirms; your concept would be different if you had perceived your Superior “I” in all its greatness”
I know very well my friends, the diverse forms of intellectualization that you have, your escape routes, your evasive, your distinct justifications, your reactions, your resistances, the desire of always making everything that has the flavor of Ego stand out.
It is clear that the ego does not have a desire to die and that it wants to continue in some exquisitely subtle form and not in the denser and gross forms.
Nobody wants to see their beloved “I” reduced to cosmic dust, just like that, because so and so said it in a lecture hall.
I saw the Pluralized “I” formed by a multitude of tenebrous entities
It is quite normal that the ego does not have a desire to die and that it finds comforting philosophies that promise it a space in heaven, a space on the altars of churches, or a beyond full of infinite happiness.
We truly lament having to disillusion people, but there remains no choice but to be, we would say, lapidary, frank and sincere in these grave matters.
Since the Gnostics like to talk with concrete, clear and definitive facts, I will not have any problem now in narrating another unexpected happening with the purpose of demonstrating that the Superior “I” does not exist.
On another day, in profound meditation, in accordance with all the rules that Jnana Yoga has, I entered into something that is known as Nirvi-Kalpa-Samadhi; then I abandoned all the suprasensible bodies and penetrated the world of the Solar Logos, converted into a dragon of wisdom.
In such Logoic moments, beyond the body, the affections and the mind, I wanted to know something about the life of the Great Kabir Jesus; It was precisely in that instant when I saw myself transformed into Jesus of Nazareth, performing miracles and wonders in the holy land.
I still remember that instant in which I was baptized by John in the Jordan river, I saw myself within a temple at the shores of that river. The Precursor was dressed in a beautiful robe and on approaching him, looking steadily at me, he exclaimed, “Jesus, take off your robe because I am going to baptize you.”
I went into the interior of the sanctuary and he prayed, putting on my head the anointing oil and some water afterward; then I felt transformed.
What happened afterward was marvelous. Seated in a hail I saw three divine suns; the first was the blue of the Father; the second, the yellow of the Son and the third, the red of the Holy Spirit.
When withdrawing from such a Logoic ecstatic state and returning into my physical body, my confusion was unbearable. “What…? Am I Jesus of Nazareth; am I the Christ?” Bless my soul, oh God, and Hail Mary! How is it that I, a miserable slug from the mud of the Earth, I, who am not even worthy of untying the sandals of the Master Jesus of Nazareth, was transformed just like that into him?
Being quite worried about all of this, I resolved to enter into meditation once more and repeat the mystical experience, only changing the motive of it; now, instead of wanting to know something about the life of Jesus, I was interested in John and the Baptism of the Nazarene.
There then came the previous mystical state; I abandoned all the suprasensible bodies and was once more in the Logoic state.
Once I had returned to such a state, I fixed my attention with greater intensity on John the Baptist, and it is there that I saw myself transformed into John, carrying out the activities of the Precursor, baptizing Jesus, etc.
On losing the ecstasy, on returning to my physical body, I then comprehended that in the world of the Logos, in the world of the Christ, there does not exist any type of Superior “I”, nor inferior “I”.
It is urgent that all those present comprehend that in Christ, all of us are One and the heresy of separation is the worst of heresies.
My friends, everything in this world in which we live is temporary; ideas are temporary, persons pass away, things pass away. The only thing that is stable and permanent is the Being and the reason for being of the Being is being itself.
Distinguish then between what is the “I” and what is the Being.
Question: Master, of what substance are the psychic aggregates made of which constitute the myself?
Answer: Ladies and gentlemen, it is indispensable that you understand what the mind and its functions are.
The intellectual animal mistakenly called man, still does not possess an individual mind, he has not created it, he has not fabricated it.
Properly said, the mental body can only be created through sexual transmutations.
I want all of those present to understand that in the sacred sperm there exists Sexual Hydrogen TI-12.
Undoubtedly, the esoterist that does not waste the cup of Hermes (that does not ejaculate the semen) originates, immediately, within his organism marvelous transmutations of the libido, whose result is the creation of the individual mental body.
The Manas, the mental substance properly said, is found in the interior of any subject, but lacks individuality, it possesses diverse forms, it is made up of aggregates that have never been unknown to esoteric Buddhism.
I beg the friendly audience to listen, to follow patiently the course of the dissertation.
All those multiple, bothersome and yelling “I” that together form the myself, or plural the self, are made up of mental substance that is more or less condensed.
Now you see the reason why every person constantly changes opinion; we are, for example, real estate salespersons; a client approaches, we talk with them, we convince them of the need to buy a beautiful residence, the person becomes enthusiastic and affirms in an emphatic manner that the sale is a fact and that nothing can make him desist from what he wants.
Unfortunately after a few hours, everything changes; the opinion of the client is no longer the same, another mental “I” now controls the brain and the enthusiastic “I” which hours before had become impassioned with the sale of the property is now displaced by a new “I” which has nothing to do with the matter or with the promise; then the castle in the air collapses and the poor real estate agent feels disillusioned.
The “I” that swears eternal love to a woman, is displaced tomorrow by another “I” that has nothing to do with the oath and then the person disappears, leaving the woman disillusioned.
The “I” that swears loyalty to the Gnostic movement, is displaced tomorrow by another “I” that has nothing to do with the oath and the person then withdraws from Gnosis, leaving the brothers of the sanctuary confused and surprised.
You see, my dear friends, what the infinite forms of the mind are, in what way they control the capital centers of the brain and how they play with the human machine.
Question: Master, on this planet in which we live, the “I make this life pleasant since it is easy to understand that if we dissolve them and we withdraw from everything that is our desires, our life will be terribly sad and boring. Is not that so?
Answer: Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, authentic happiness lies radically in the reevaluation of the Being.
It is unquestionable that each time that the Being goes through an intimate reevaluation, it experiments authentic happiness.
Unfortunately, people of today confuse pleasure for happiness and enjoyment in an animal fashion, fornication, adultery, alcohol, drugs, money, gambling, etc.
The limit of pleasure is pain and every type of animal pleasure is transformed into bitterness.
Obviously, the elimination of the ego reevaluates the Being, producing happiness as a result. Unfortunately, the consciousness imprisoned within the ego does not understand, does not comprehend the need for the inner reevaluation and prefers animal enjoyment because it firmly believes that the latter is happiness.
Dissolve the Pluralized “I” and experience the happiness of the reevaluation of the Being.
Question: Master because of everything you have presented today, is it evident and urgent to form a mental body so as not to have so many minds?
Answer: I have listened to the question of the gentleman and I hasten to answer it.
Certainly, the intellectual animal mistakenly called man does not possess an individual mind as we have stated in this talk; instead of a mind he has many minds and this is different.
What I am affirming here can contradict many pseudo-esoterists and pseudo-occultists, plainly convinced of the theories that they have read, which affirm that the rational man possesses a mental body.
Allow me the liberty to dissent with such affirmations; if the intellectual animal had an individual mind, if he did not really possess diverse mental aggregates that characterize him, he would have continuity of purpose; everyone would keep his word, no one would affirm today and deny tomorrow, the would be real estate buyer would return the following day with cash in hand after having given his word and Earth would be a paradise.
To create the mental body and dissolve the pluralized “I” is urgent, when one wants the authentic reevaluation of the inner Being. Only in this manner can such sacred reevaluations give us true happiness.
Question: Venerable Master, is it possible that a person that gives money to the church, that reads the Bible, that goes to confession, that does works of charity at institutions, that spreads the gospel, that only has one wife and other virtues, also have “
Answer: Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, allow me to inform you that the “I” disguises itself as a saint, as a martyr, as an apostle, as a good husband, as a good wife, as a mystic, as a penitent, as a hermit, as charitable, splendid, etc.
Between the cadences of the verse, transgression also hides; among the perfumes of the temple transgression hides; adultery, fornication is committed in the shadow of the cross, and the lowest criminals assume pious poses, sublime figures, facades of being martyrs, etc.
It is good to know that many virtuous people possess very strong psychic aggregates.
Remember that there is much virtue in evil people and much evil in the virtuous.
In the abyss, in the nine Dantestic circles there are many mystics, hermits, penitents that believe that are doing very well; do not be surprised then that even in the abyss there exist exemplary priests and devotees that follow them.
Question: Master, where does one put the spiritual value of the good intentions of a sincere person that lives erroneously?
Answer: My friends, the question from the audience seems very interesting and it pleases me to answer.
Remember that the path that leads to the abyss is paved with good intentions; “many are called but few are chosen.”
The evil of all ages have had good intentions; Hitler, filled with magnificent intentions, trampled many nations and because of him, millions of persons died in the gas chambers, or in the concentration camps or on the firing line or in filthy swamps.
Undoubtedly this monster wanted the triumph of great Germany and did not waste any efforts of any type in this cause.
Nero burned Rome because of art, with the mystical intentions of making the lyre resound universally and he threw the Christians to the Roman masses so the lions would devour them with the desire of liberating his people from what he considered an epidemic or a scourge: Christianity.
The executioner that carries out an unjust order, full of magnificent intentions, kills his fellowman Millions of heads fell under the guillotine during the French Revolution and the executioners worked with magnificent, intentions because they wanted the triumph of the people.
Robespierre filled with magnificent intentions, led many innocent people to the gallows.
We should not forget what the Holy Inquisition was; then the inquisitors with magnificent intentions, condemned many unhappy people to the fire, to the torture rack, to martyrdom.
I want you then, ladies and gentlemen, to comprehend how important good deeds are, and not good intentions that can be more or less erroneous.
The judges of Karma in the tribunals of objective justice judge souls by their deeds, by their concrete actions, clear and definitive, and not by their good intentions.
The results are always what count; it is useless to have good intentions if the actions are disastrous.
Question: Master, what is the procedure to follow to liberate ourselves from the psychological defects that torture our mind?
Answer: Esteemed audience, it is urgent, and undelayable, to annihilate the ego, reduce it to ashes in a voluntary and conscious manner if, in reality, we want to avoid the descent to the infernal worlds.
I want you to know that in relating with people, in living with our relatives or with our co-workers, etc., the hidden defects spontaneously burst forth, and if we find ourselves in a state of alert perception, alert novelty, then we see them as they are in themselves.
A discovered defect should be judiciously subjected to analysis, to in-depth meditation, with the purpose of it being comprehended in a total, integral manner.
It is not enough to comprehend a defect, one has to go even deeper; it is indispensable to self explore ourselves, to find the intimate roots of the defect that we have comprehended until arriving at its deep meaning.
Any spark of consciousness can illuminate us immediately and in millionths of a second really capture the deep meaning of a comprehended defect.
Elimination is different; someone can have comprehended some psychological error and even have penetrated in its deep meaning, and, however, still continue with it in the different departments of the mind.
It is not possible to be free of such and such an error, without its elimination.
The latter is vital, cardinal and definitive when one wants to die from instant to instant, and from moment to moment.
Nonetheless, with the mind we cannot extirpate our errors. Listen: by means of our understanding we can only label our diverse psychological defects, thus giving them different names, juggling them from one level into another level of our subconsciousness, hiding them from ourselves, judging them, excusing them, etc., but it is not possible to fundamentally alter them or to extirpate them.
What is needed is a force superior to the mind; we need to appeal to a transcendental power if we truly want to eliminate errors and die in oneself here and now.
Fortunately, such a superior force is found latent in all human creatures. I want to refer to the Kundalini, the igneous serpent of our magical powers.
In full chemical copulation, we can beg our particular Divine Mother to eliminate that psychological error that we have not only comprehended but also felt its deep meaning.
You can be sure that our particular cosmic mother, holding the spear of Eros, will mortally wound the psychic aggregate that personified the error that we need to eliminate.
It is precisely with this sacred spear, a marvelous emblem of the creative energy the weapon with which Devi Kundalini will eliminate from us, here and now, the defect that we want to annihilate.
Naturally, the elimination of those aggregates is carried out in a progressive manner, since many of them are processed in the 49 levels of the subconscious.
This means that any psychological defect is represented by thousands of psychic aggregates that are born and develop in the 49 subconscious levels of the mind.
Someone could not be a fornicator in the intellectual zone; however, be one in the more profound zones of the subconscious.
Many mystics that were quite chaste in the merely intellective level and even in the 20th or 30th subconscious levels, failed in the more profound levels when they were subjected to esoteric tests.
Someone could not be a thief in the merely rational level and even in the 48th subconscious level; however, be could be one in the 49th level.
In this manner, the defects are multifaceted and very holy persons can be frighteningly perverse in the deepest levels of the subconscious. Through esoteric tests, the initiates discover themselves.
The failure of tests signals indicates, the diverse psychological states that we find ourselves in.
Question: Venerable Master, can you tell us how those of us who are single, can carry out this work?
Answer: Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, the spear of Eros, the holy spear can always be handled by Devi -Kundalini, our own particular cosmic Divine Mother.
However, there is a difference between married persons and single persons. When the spear is handled during the sexual trance, it has a marvelous, electric, very superior force.
When the spear is not utilized during the erotic trance, it possesses a marvelous, but inferior force.
The single man or woman can also progress, however, although their work will be a little slower, however, the work is made stronger, more powerful in the complete sense of the word when one gets married.
Single men and women can progress to a certain point profoundly defined by nature; beyond this Emit, it is not possible to progress without sexual magic.
