THE SEMINAL PEARL

In this chapter of the Christmas Message 1971-72, we arrive at something very distressing which cannot be emphasized enough and which we have been able to verify through many years of constant observation and experience.

In plain language, I wish to refer to Mythomaniac, a marked tendency amongst people affiliated to various metaphysical schools.

Apparently very straightforward people, after hallucinations, become Mythomaniac overnight.

Without doubt such people with subjective psyches almost always manage to take many who are unwary by surprise, they in their turn becoming followers.

The Mythomaniac is like a wall without foundations, a light push is enough for it to become rubble.

The Mythomaniac believes that occultism is like the twinkling of an eye and overnight he declares himself to be Mahatma, a resurrected Master, Hierophant, etc.

The Mythomaniac generally has impossible lures and invariably suffers from what is called “DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR”.

This type of people present themselves as reincarnations of Masters or fabulous legendary heroes from fiction.

However, it is clear that we must place emphasis on something that deserves explanation.

Egotist centers of the animal subconscious which in interchangeable relations follow determined mental groups, can through association and imaginary reflexes rouse something like “spirits” which are almost invariably only illusory forms, personifications of the same PLURALIZED EGO.

It is not unusual for some aggregate psyche to assume a “Jesus Christian” form in order to issue false oracles…

Any of these many entities which in conjunction constitute that which is called EGO can, if it so wishes, acquire the form of a Mahatma or Guru and so when the dreamer returns to a state of wakefulness, will say of himself, “I am Self-Realized, I am a Master.”

It must be observed with respect to this matter that in the subconscious of all people lies the latent tendency to take advantage of personification.

This then is the classical reason for which many Asiatic GURUS forewarn all possible forms of SELF-DECEIT, before initiating their disciples in Transcendental Magic.

A monk visited T’ai-Shan, who shut the door in his face. The monk knocked on the door and T’ai-Shan asked: “Who is it?” The monk answered, “The Lion’s Cub.” Then T’aiShan opened the door and jumped onto the monk’s neck whilst shouting “Animal! Where will you go now?” The monk did not reply.

The term “Lion’s Cub” is used by Zen Buddhists to describe a disciple who is capable of understanding True Zen. When the Masters praise a disciple’s comprehension, or they wish to test him, this term is usually employed.

In this case, the monk presumptuously names himself the Lion’s Cub, but when T’ai-Shan tests him, treating him like a real Lion’s Cub as he clambered onto his neck and asked an esoteric question, the monk did not know how to answer.

This is evidence that the monk lacked the authentic understanding which he pretended to possess.

Such a monk was in fact a man whose consciousness was asleep, was sincerely mistaken, a Mythomaniac.

One day, in the Monastery of Nan- Chuan, monks from the east wing had a fight with those from the west wing over possession of a cat. All of them gathered round Nan- Chuan for him to officiate as judge.

Brandishing a Knife in one hand and the cat in the other, Nan- Chuan said: “If any of you can guess what has to be said, the cat will be saved, otherwise, I will cut it in two.” Not one of the monks knew what to say. And so, Nan- chuan killed the cat.

That night when Chao Chou returned to the Monastery, Nan- Chuan asked him what he would have said if he had been present. Chao Chou took off his straw sandals, placed them on his head and went away. Then Nan-Chuan commented: “Oh! If you had been here the cat would have been saved.”

Chao Chou was obviously a man of awakened Consciousness, a genuine Illuminati.

It is impossible to awaken the consciousness, making it totally objective, without previously eliminating the subjective elements of perception. Such sub-human elements are formed by the whole multiplicity of brawling, loud-mouthed Egos that in conjunction constitute the “EGO”, the “MYSELF”.

The ESSENCE, imprisoned within all the subjective, incoherent entities, sleeps profoundly.

The annihilation of each one of these sub-human entities is essential to liberate the Essence.

Only by the emancipation and consequent awakening of the Essence, does Enlightenment come.

Hindustani Yogis try to awaken Consciousness through the KUNDALINI; unfortunately they do not teach the didactics, the procedure.

They say that when the KUNDALINI sleeps coiled within the Chakra Muladhara, man is awakened in this vale of tears. This is an absolutely false because the intellectual humanoid wherever found, whether in the physical world or in the superior dimensions of Nature, is always asleep.

They say that when the KUNDALINI wakes, man sleeps in this bitter land, loses Consciousness of the world and penetrates into his causal body. Such an affirmation is profoundly utopian for two reasons:

1)            The three-brained, three-cent red biped mistakenly called man, is always asleep here and now, not only has he already lost planetary Consciousness, furthermore – and this is worse – he continues to degenerate.

2)            The rational animal has no Causal Body, he must fabricate it through Sexual Alchemy in the Fiery Forge of Vulcan.

The most important principle is that, when the KUNDALINI is awakened, it ceases to be as a static power and is transformed into a dynamic potency.

To learn to manage the active power of KUNDALINI is imperative in order to awaken Consciousness.

At the height of chemical intercourse we must intelligently direct the rays of KUNDALINI against the Red Demons (Egos) within which the ESSENCE, the CONSCIOUSNESS is unfortunately trapped.

The hunter who wants to catch ten hares at the same time, catches nothing; so also the Gnostic who yearns simultaneously to eliminate the various Egos, fails lamentably.

Esoteric work which is directed towards the dissolving of any psychological defect, is a veritable riddle; not only must we previously understand the defect in question in each and every subconscious level of the mind, moreover we must eliminate each of the Egos which characterize it.

By any reckoning, it is outstandingly clear that very lengthy and patient work is necessary for the elimination of any psychological defect.

Many aspirants who have arrived in this three-dimensional Euclidean world absolutely chaste, failed miserably in the supersensitive worlds when put to the test; demonstrating with conclusive and definitive facts that they were fornicators and adulterers.

Any psychological defect can disappear from the intellectual zone and continue existing in the various regions of the subconscious.

Someone could be an honorable person in this physical world and ever as far as the forty eighth subconscious zone and nonetheless fail in the forty ninth.

Now our beloved readers must reflect and understand how difficult it is to awaken the Consciousness, to become a “Lion’s Cub”, understand True Zen and experience TAO. It is not so easy to awaken the Consciousness; it is necessary to liberate the Essence, to remove it from within its subconscious (habitation), to destroy such habitats, turning them to dust. This is a gradual process, very slow, painful and difficult.

The amount of liberated ESSENCE is proportionate to the percentage of increased Consciousness.

The intellectual humanoids mistakenly called men in truth possess only three per cent of Consciousness, if they had even ten per cent, wars would be impossible on the face of the Earth.

The original ESSENCE which is liberated at the beginning of the process of Death is unquestionably that becomes THE SEMINAL PEARL. This is the mathematical point of Consciousness mentioned in the gospel of Tao. Here the Mystery of the Golden Blossom begins.

The Mythomaniac boasts of being enlightened without having liberated the ESSENCE, without even possessing the SEMINAL PEARL.

People with subjective psyches are absolutely utopian. They mistakenly suppose that they can be Enlightened without having achieved the death of the EGO in a radical and definitive way.

These people do not want to understand that by being self-imprisoned, genuine, objective Enlightenment is completely impossible.

It is obvious that when the ESSENCE is bottled up within the PLURALIZED EGO, self-imprisonment exists.

The imprisoned ESSENCE only functions in accordance with its own conditioning. The EGO is SUBJECTIVE and SUB-HUMAN. Obviously the perceptions that the Essence receives through the senses of the PLURALIZED EGO are deformed and absurd.

This invites us to comprehend how difficult it is to reach true objective Enlightenment. The price of Enlightenment is paid with one’s own Life. In the Sacred land of the Vedas there are Chelas-Disciples that after thirty years of intensive work are only at the beginning, in the prologue of their work.

The Mythomaniac wants to be enlightened overnight presumes to be wise and believes himself a God.
