The Pluralized I
There is energy; free in its movement, and stagnant energy. The self is a knot to be untied. The self is stagnant energy. The Universal Spirit of Life is free energy in its movement. The spirit is not the self. The Soul is not the self. The Physical body is not the self.
It is necessary to know that the self is the Satan that the Bible tells us about. The self is the Ahriman of the Persians. The I is a bundle of memories, desires, passions, desires, fears, etc. etc. There is no such higher self. Really our Real Being is above all ME. Our REAL BEING is BEING and nothing more than that: BEING.
THE SOUL IS THE BEING, THE SPIRIT IS THE BEING, but the I is not the SOUL NOR THE SPIRIT. THE SELF IS THE DEVIL and that’s all. The I exists in a PLURALIZED form: by this we mean that the I IS A LEGION OF DEVILS.
Just as water is made up of many drops, just as the flame has many sparks, so the I is made up of many small I’s.
Every wish is personified by a little ME. Each desire is personified by another little ME. The seven deadly sins are personified by seven I’s; one for each deadly sin, seven for the seven deadly sins.
All vices, passions and evils are personified by small SELF that as a whole constitute the REINCARRING SELF or EGO. What is REINCARNED is the SELF: the SELF is reincarnated to satisfy desires and pay KARMA. The I is the origin of Pain, the I is the origin of all our evils.
When SELF is reduced to dust, the only thing left inside us is SOUL. Really the SOUL has a NATURE OF HAPPINESS. THE SOUL IS HAPPINESS. It is absolutely absurd to seek happiness. It comes when “I’s” HAVE DIED. As long as the PLURALIZED SELF, exists, there can be NO happiness.
There are pleasant hours in life, joys, but HAPPINESS does not exist as long as the SELF is not dissolved.
Samael Aun Weor
When the SELF is reduced to dust, we can REINCARNATE in other more advanced planets to work in our INTIMATE SELF-REALIZATION. The DISSOLUTION OF THE SELF brings TRUE FREEDOM.
THE VENUSIANS are truly blessed because THEY ALREADY ANNIHILATED THE I, THEY DO NOT HAVE I.
VENUSIANS do not need money because they have no desire to accumulate; They don’t crave anything, they don’t have greed, they are content with their daily bread. Such a Consciousness is typical of Beings that no longer have the ME, I, SELF.
IN VENUS AUTHORITIES are not needed, because there is no violence. Only the SELF is violent. In VENUS government is not needed because every citizen knows how to govern him or herself. When the SELF has been annihilated, each citizen becomes a Government for himself; So who will want to govern?
IN VENUS there is no particular Family. All VENUSIANS are one family; This is only possible thanks to the fact that they have already annihilated the horrible PLURALIZED SELF. THE I is that which we call MY FAMILY, MY HOUSE, my properties, my lust, my desires for resentments, my desires, my passions, my memories, etc., etc., etc.
The Self continues in our descendants. The ME is the race, the nation, my social class, my money, my family, my inheritance, etc. etc. etc. THE SELF is the SUBCONSCIOUS. When the self is annihilated, the subconscious becomes conscious.
We need to ANNIHILATE THE SELF to return CONSCIOUS TO THE SUBCONSCIOUS. Only by ANNIHILATING THE SELF, can we return CONSCIOUS TO THE SUBCONSCIOUS. When the SUBCONSCIOUS becomes CONSCIOUS, the problem of UNFOLDING has been solved.
When the SUBCONSCIOUS, becomes CONSCIOUS, we no longer need to worry about UNDOUBLING, because while the PHYSICAL BODY sleeps, we live in the ABSOLUTELY CONSCIOUS internal worlds.
Today humanity is SUBCONSCIOUS in ninety-seven percent and conscious only in three percent. We need to be ONE HUNDRED PERCENT AWARE. The inhabitants of VENUS are fully, one hundred percent aware. THE HUMANITY OF VENUS annihilated the SELF.
Really, the SELF can only be annihilated through rigorous creative comprehension. We need to do SELF DISSECTION TO THE SELF with the scalpel of SELF-CRITICISM. Instead of criticizing others, we should criticize ourselves. PRACTICAL LIFE is the mirror where we can see ourselves as a WHOLE BODY, just as we are.
When the Mind is in a state of ALERT-PERCEPTION, we can easily discover our defects in coexistence with others, because these arise spontaneously.
In relation to the neighbors, with friends, with our co-workers, with the woman, with the children, with the husband, etc., it is amazing how they highlight our defects and if we are alert and vigilant like him. Watchdog in times of war, it is hardly logical that then we see them as they are.
In COEXISTENCE there is SELF-DISCOVERY when WE ARE in the state of ALERT-PERCEPTION. Any discovered defect must be intellectually analyzed; but the intellect is not everything; the intellect is only a fraction of the mind.
We need to go deeper, we need to explore the subconscious to discover the inner springs of our defects.
Only through very deep Meditation can we truly explore the SUBCONSCIOUS.
Samael Aun Weor
When we have INTEGRALLY UNDERSTOOD a defect, the ENERGY SELF that personifies it disintegrates. This is how we are dying from INSTANT TO INSTANT.
We need MYSTICAL DEATH. We need the DEATH OF THE SELF. Let us remember that each of us carries within a legion of DEVILS. THE SELF is a LEGION OF DEVILS. Within each person there is the BODY OF DESIRES and within the BODY OF DESIRES the PLURALIZED SELF.
THE PLURALIZED SELF spends the ESSENCE miserably, that is, THE RAW MATERIAL, the SUBSTANCE OF THE SOUL. THE SELF spends the precious soul Essence in atomic explosions of ANGER, GREED, LUST, PRIDE, LAZINESS, GLUTTONY, etc., etc., etc.
When the SELF has died, the ESSENCE accumulates becoming SOUL. We need SELF to die; we only need that which is HAPPINESS, that which we call SOUL, lives in us. When SELF dies, KARMA ENDS and we are actually FREE.
The INTIMATE contradictions of each person are due to the PLURALIZED SELF. I AM going to read a newspaper says the I of the intellectual center, I don’t want to read; I want to ride a bicycle, says the SELF of the CENTER OF MOVEMENT.
I want such a woman, I love her, says the Center of Emotions; I don’t want it, what I want is money, says the ME of the Mental Center: to hell with these worries; I am going to eat says the SELF of digestion … I want to eat a lot … Says the SELF of Greed.
I swear to be faithful to the GNOSIS says the EMOTIONAL SELF; to hell with gnosis, the INTELLECTUAL SELF exclaims furiously; better to get money says the I of Greed; I will join another school better than gnosis says the I of Curiosity.
This is how we do not have INDIVIDUALITY, we are not INDIVIDUALIZED, we are LEGION OF DEVILS. When the SELF dissolves, only INDIVIDUALITY remains within us, that is, the INDIVIDUAL SOUL.
VENUSIANS are TRUE SACRED INDIVIDUALS. They have no ME. VENUSIANS are truly Perfect men. We earthlings are INTELLECTUAL ANIMALS, we do not have AUTHENTIC INDIVIDUALITY.
We have seen many people swear allegiance to Gnosis, they swear before the ARA and later go to another school and declare themselves enemies of GNOSIS. This is because they have no INDIVIDUALITY. THE SELF that at one point was enthusiastic about GNOSIS, is later displaced by another SELF that hates GNOSIS.
Still the Human Being cannot have continuity of purpose, because he does not have INDIVIDUALITY, he is a LEGION OF DEVILS and each DEVIL has his own criteria, ideas, opinions, etc., etc. The Human Being is an UNFINISHED BEING. We do not yet possess the BEING. Only the BEING gives us true INDIVIDUALITY.
Samael Aun Weor
