IPeople work sleeping. People walk through the streets sleeping.
The claim the whole work rests on, and he never argues it — he describes people until you recognise one. They work sleeping, walk the streets sleeping, live and die sleeping; the boxer, the movie-goer, the passengers who miss their stop, the crowd at the palace gate, the man who does not return your greeting in the street.
This is the breaking point of negativity from Theosophists. They horrify themselves simply with thinking in awakening the consciousness. They are only interested in having their heads filled with ‘cockroaches’ and in living their life asleep. Nevertheless, they say that some day they think they will enter Nirvana.
The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967
All types of identification produce fascination and sleep. While walking down a street, you suddenly meet with a crowd protesting something in front of the president’s palace. If not in a state of alertness, you will identify with the demonstrators, join the crowd, and become fascinated. Later you fall asleep you shout, throw stones, and do things that, in other circumstances, you wouldn’t do, not even for a million dollars. Forgetting oneself is an error with incalculable consequences. To identify with anything is the height of stupidity because fascination and sleep are the result. It is impossible for someone to awaken consciousness if he forgets himself, if he identifies with any thing. It is impossible for the aspirant to awaken consciousness if he allows himself to become fascinated, to fall asleep.

My Chela (disciple), who was following my steps looked like a zombie, his consciousness was profoundly sleeping... Suddenly, something happened, he bent down as if to grasp something and without the least bit of respect, he grasped the untouchable relic, he observed it in his hands with infinite curiosity and I, frankly, remained horrified by his behaviour.
Runic Magic, 1969
This appeared so terrible to me that I exclaimed, “What do you think you are doing? You are committing a great sacrilege. For God’s sake, withdraw yourself from here and leave the relic in its place.” Nevertheless, the Master filled with infinite compassion replied, “It is not his fault in this matter, he is asleep.”
Runic Magic, 1969
Afterwards, like a pilgrim on the path who wants to heal the afflicted heart with a precious balm, he grasped the head of this sleeping neophyte, and blew the living FOHAT upon his face with the purpose of awakening him, but everything was useless. This Chela continued sleeping, dreaming.
Runic Magic, 1969
So, filled with deep bitterness I said, “How much I have fought there in the physical world in order for these people to awaken their consciousness and still they continue to sleep.” The Chela had assumed a gigantic figure. The pluralized ‘I’ (a conjunction of distinct and diverse entities), engulfed within the lunar bodies was giving him that aspect. It was bizarre to see this enormo us grayish coloured giant slowly walking like a zombie along the old atrium of this ancient Cathedral while heading towards his home where his physical body was sleeping. In those moments I could only exclaim, “What ugly lunar bodies they are!” Nonetheless, the venerated Elder, while inebriated with compassion replied unto me, “Inside the temple which you are now going to enter (a Jinn Temple, an Aztec sanctuary), there are many like this one so look at them with sympathy.” I replied, “It is clear that I will look upon them with sympathy.”
Runic Magic, 1969
It is urgent to know that such elements constitute diverse entities which form the ‘I’. The soul profoundly sleeps within each one of those elements. What pain...!

Nonetheless, I noticed something strange in him; he had come to me as a somnambulist, unconscious, as if a force superior moved him. This alarmed me, saddened me a little. Could it be possible that the Consciousness of the Master is awakened within the superior worlds and asleep in the physical world? This is truly strange, enigmatic and profound. After the encounter with the Master I no longer felt defrauded, I had joy in my heart. I advanced happily up to the atrium of that old Cathedral; I was waiting, alone, and soon my son Osiris came. He came driving his little fire-colored car. He stopped for a moment to pick me up and drive me home.
My Return to Tibet, 1969

The Three Mountains, 1972
If the devotees had full consciousness of the Christic gospel preached by the Great Kabir Jesus, it is obvious that so many sects would not exist; truly there would be only one Christic religion of a universal cosmic type. However, the believers are not able to agree among themselves because they have their consciousness asleep; they know nothing. Nothing is evident to them. They have never personally talked with an Angel; they have never consciously and positively entered the celestial regions. They walk because others walk, eat because others eat, talk because others talk, and in this manner they proceed from the cradle to the sepulcher with blindfolded eyes.

Beyond Death
Man is a sleeping machine. If you want to wake up from the deep sleep in which you live, do not become identified with pleasures, desires, emotions, dramas, the scenes of your life, etc., etc. Call yourself to vigilance every step of the way; remember, good disciple, that people are dreaming. Observe people as they dream, examine all the dreams in which humanity lives. However, do not become identified, so that you can awaken. People believe themselves to be awake since they are not lying down in bed… However, their consciousness is sound asleep and dreaming. All the things you see in people are simply dreams. Remember, to not become identified does not mean abandoning your duties as a father, a mother, a child, etc. Do not become identified and thus you will awaken from that deep sleep in which you live.
Esoteric Course of Kabbalah also in Desire and Will, Identification

Now, unfortunately, humanity has atrocious-ly involuted. In these times, humanity is in a state of expiration. If we do not worry about self-discovering, about knowing ourselves better, we will continue with the Consciousness asleep, stuck among all the “I’s” that we carry within us.

The Fifth Gospel The Wonders of Awakened Consciousness Public Lecture – 1975
When someone possesses a living Consciousness of the stars, it is obvious that developing this would be correct. In what form could we develop it? We think that it would be more feasible to awaken it. Obviously, the indication would be even more precise. The seed of a tree, for example, is susceptible to development, evolution and progress. But if the Consciousness is complete by itself and it came from the Milky Way and is a natural cosmic faculty of cognition, certainly, it is not development that is needed, what is required is to awaken it.
The Fifth Gospel The Return of the Prodigal Son Lecture in continuation of “Clarifications of the Pranayama and the Tibetan rites” – December 1974
So, we need to psychologically self-explore on a daily basis to discover our mistakes and reduce them to cosmic dust. Only in this way is it possible to achieve, in reality and in truth, self-awakening. We need to leave aside so many theories, so many vague statements, and so many incoherences that are useless, and become awakened individuals.
The Fifth Gospel The Serious Damages of Mental Representations Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 1977
It is clear that a Gnostic aspirant who begins to understand this kind of work, obviously, for that reason, begins to stop being a mechanical man who exclusively serves the purposes of nature, a creature absolutely asleep who is simply nothing more than an “employee” of nature, [useful] for its economic ends, which, actually, do not serve in any way the interests of our own Intimate Self-Realization.
The Fifth Gospel Psychological Protection Against Impressions Lecture given to the brothers of Colombia – Mexico City – 1974
How can we orient ourselves? In what way? Obviously, we must be interested in the awakening of the Consciousness. Only like this can we truly walk successfully within that mysterious labyrinth. But as long as we have not awakened, we will be confused. Some even get enthusiastic about these studies momentarily and then abandon them. There are those who, with their heads filled with theories, think they have already discovered the Secret Path, even though they are sound asleep.
The Fifth Gospel Psychic Associations that Lead to Awakening Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975
Naturally, they memorize absolutely subjective parts about things that existed or never existed; comedies, dramas, which may or may not have any reality, which are only productions of their minds, and the honorable audience, in front of the stage floor, “sleeps” terribly. When I say “sleeps”, I put it in quotation marks. I want to affirm, in an emphatic way, that the Consciousness of those who attend enters into the most profound drowsiness due to sleep.

The Fifth Gospel Pedagogy of Knowing How to Live Third Chamber Mexico City – 1974
Master: With the utmost pleasure we will give some explanations related to the awakening of the Consciousness. First of all, it is indispensable to understand, my dear brothers, that the Consciousness of human beings is asleep, unfortunately. People do not want to understand that they are asleep, they all think they are awake, but they asleep. People drive cars dreaming, they do business dreaming, they walk on the streets convinced they are awake, but they sleep profoundly, they dream.
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Discipline for Awakening Interview – Mexico City – 1970
That said, we need to pay close attention to what we are talking about if we really want to awaken Consciousness. First of all, what is this Consciousness that we are willing to awaken? It is the Essence. Well, that is indeed correct.

Now it will be clear to you what is the causa causarum whereby the Consciousness in the humanoid is asleep.
The Fifth Gospel The Two Types of Metaphysical Crystallizations Thud Chamber – Mexico City – 1975
We have often heard a word thousands or even millions of times, and we think we know it, that we have listened to it, but in reality and in truth we have not listened to that word. On any given day we hear it and it seems new to us, but if we have heard it thousands of times, why does it seem new to us now? Because we had always listened to it with our Consciousness asleep, and one day we were lucky enough to listen to it with our Consciousness awake and it appears to us like something new.
The Fifth Gospel The Metaphysical Value of Knowing How to Listen also in Identification
We must situate ourselves in the plane of the harshest realities. In no way have I come here with the purpose of being pessimistic, nor do I intend to fill your hearts with pessimism. I only wanted to put on the terrain of realities the psychological state in which each and every one of us finds himself. As long as we have not eliminated from our interior all those “I”-defects that we carry, our Consciousness will be profoundly asleep: we will die without knowing when; we will be born without knowing how or why; we will continue in the beyond as sleepwalkers, as ghosts. That is what our life has been like; thus it has been and thus it will be as long as we do not eliminate the “I”-defects from within ourselves.
The Fifth Gospel The Verticality of Existence First Gnostic Youth Encounter – Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico – July 10. 1975
Not everything is intellect; we need to go through great emotional crises; not everything is intellect. The emotional center must valorize the psychological work that leads us to the in-depth transformation. Emotion must work more than intellect, emotion must become active in us. Thus, on the path of authentic emotions, we will reach the awakening of the Consciousness.
The Fifth Gospel The Verticality of Existence First Gnostic Youth Encounter – Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico – July 10. 1975
I want this conference to be helpful to you for self-reflection. “In patience you will possess your souls”, with patience you will reach the awakening. We need to make ourselves conscious of our own thoughts, to make ourselves conscious of our own feelings, to make ourselves conscious, in reality and in truth, of the effect that people around us produce in us.
The Fifth Gospel Psychological Foundations of the False Personality Third Chamber – Mexico City
It is very true that people walk around the streets absorbed in their own thoughts. This is the cause of many accidents. We can’t deny that humans are asleep and walk through the streets like sleepwalkers, profoundly dreaming. All this is very true but for this reason it is urgent to reform the transport systems.

The Social Christ
IIAll people believe that they are awake
And this is what makes it hard: the sleeper is certain he is not asleep. Tell an intellectual he is asleep and he is offended. His answer is the asylum — the lunatic who begins to accept that he is mad is the one who is beginning to get out — and the first necessity of the work is to know that one is asleep.
So, man is still irresponsible. Man still has no real identity. Only those who engender their souls have a true identity. The mortal man thinks and believes that he has consciousness and will. The reality is different. Man has not awakened consciousness. Man is still not immortal. Man still has no real will and confuses the force of desire with willpower.

If a boxer in the middle of a fight was to all of a sudden awaken, he would feel ashamed of himself standing before the honorable public and would flee from that horrible spectacle to the astonishment of the sleeping, unconscious multitudes. When a human being recognizes that his consciousness is sleeping, you can be certain he has already begun to awake.
Fundamental Education, 1970
The first necessity, if one is to awaken consciousness, is to know that one is asleep. Understanding that we are asleep is difficult because normally, everybody is completely convinced that they are awake.
The Buddha's Necklace, 1967
When a person understands that he is asleep, the process of self-awakening begins. What we are saying is not something people readily accept. If we tell an intellectual that he is asleep, he will certainly be offended. People are fully convinced that they are awake. People work while asleep... dreaming; they drive cars while asleep… dreaming; they get married while asleep; and they live while sleeping... dreaming: nevertheless, they are totally convinced that they are awake.

Before all else, it is necessary to comprehend that one is asleep; it is only when someone fully realizes that he is asleep that he really enters the path of Awakening.

The four gospels insist on the necessity of awakening but people do not understand. People sleep profoundly, but they believe that they are awake; when someone accepts that he is asleep, it is a clear sign that he already begins to awaken.

What is even worse is that certain type of individuals exist everywhere, who by the way, are certainly very psychic, yet, they not only sleep, but more over, they dream that they are awakened.
Runic Magic, 1969
It becomes obvious to comprehend that we are not talking against the legitimate clairvoyants. We are only referring to the hallucinating ones, to those sincerely mistaken ones who dream that they are awakened.
Runic Magic, 1969
Truly, I believe that the sincerely mistaken one, the sleepy one who dreams of being awake, the Mythomaniac who believes himself to be a super-transcended one, the hallucinated one who qualifies himself as being an Illuminated one, is used to doing very much harm to himself and to humanity. He does more harm than that inflicted by the one who never in his life has entered into our studies.
Runic Magic, 1969
Only by awakening consciousness is it possible to accept such differences. Unfortunately, the profane person believes himself to be awake and is even offended when someone tells him that his consciousness is asleep. Talking in Socratic language we would say that the learned ignoramuses, the asleep profane person, the unconscious machine does not only ignore but also ignores that it ignores; does not only not know but also and what is worse, does not know that it does not know.

The Great Rebellion, 1975
Obviously, psychological defects make us abnormal, that is, the inhabitants of Earth have an abnormal psyche, they are crazy, terribly crazy, but they do not realize it. I want you to understand that the Consciousness is bottled up among all those psychic aggregates which together constitute the Ego, the Myself, the “I Myself’. People think that they are awake, but they are mistaken, they sleep profoundly: they drive cars with the Consciousness asleep, they work asleep, they walk on the streets asleep, they live asleep, but they believe that they are awake.
The Fifth Gospel Analysis of the Human Psyche Public Lecture – 1977 also in Identification
And how is one when he wakes up? It is a little tough what I’m going to tell you; get ready, it is an atomic bomb. When one wakes up, he realizes that his fellow men, who he once considered normal people, are not normal, rather they are abnormal –but that is when he is awake–. When one is asleep, he believes that he is normal and that everyone around him is normal. Right. But when one wakes up, with pain, he realizes that he is stuck in an asylum, that everyone is “insane”. But while one is also crazy, one thinks one is healthy; it is the curious thing of the case.
The Fifth Gospel Chaotic Consciousness and Intelligent Consciousness Public Lecture – Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico
Well, something similar happens with an individual when he wants to wake up. It happens that when one accepts that he is asleep and that he has an abnormal psyche, it is a sure sign that he is ready to wake up; that is very sure: that he is ready to wake up. But as long as someone says: “No, I am awake and I am a sane person”, because the poor one, he is ill; it is the harsh reality of the facts. But, as I say, one only gets to realize it when one wakes up.
The Fifth Gospel Chaotic Consciousness and Intelligent Consciousness Public Lecture – Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico
We think that we are individuals when we are just machines. We never accept to be treated as machines, we cannot accept others thinking that we are asleep. We feel awake, very awake, but in truth we are asleep.
The Fifth Gospel The Precariousness of the Human Psyche lst International Meeting of Hermetic Culture – Guadalajara. Jalisco, Mexico – October 28. 1975
The lunatics in the mental hospital, when they start accepting that they are crazy, it is a sign that they are already beginning to wake up. But, when they still do not accept that they are crazy, it is a sign that they are very sick. We are also asleep, but when we accept that we are asleep, it is a sign that we want to awaken.
The Fifth Gospel The Organization of our Inner World Public Lecture – 1975

The Fifth Gospel The Danger of Mental Effigies Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 1977
Unquestionably, my dear brothers, the first thing we need is to know that we are asleep. Unfortunately, although I am affirming it here and although you are accepting that you are asleep, however, you are not conscious that you are asleep, and that is precisely what is serious.
The Fifth Gospel Psychic Associations that Lead to Awakening Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975
If we really want to awaken, we have to start by recognizing that we are asleep. When someone recognizes that he is asleep, it is a sure sign that he is already starting to awaken. But it is not about recognizing it intellectually, no; anyone can automatically say: “Yes, I am asleep”; another thing is to be conscious that he is asleep, and that is different. There is a great difference between the intellect and the Consciousness.
The Fifth Gospel Psychic Associations that Lead to Awakening Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975
First of all, it is necessary to convince ourselves sincerely that we are asleep. When one accepts that one is asleep, it is a sign or symptom that he wants to awaken. This is something very similar to the madman who is mad: no madman accepts that he is mad, all madmen think that they are very well. When an madman accepts that he is mad, it is an unequivocal sign that he is getting better. And you can see this clearly in the asylums: there is no madman who accepts that he is mad.
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Discipline for Awakening Interview – Mexico City – 1970
Observe in the asylums that those madmen who are almost ready to get out from the asylum accept that they are mad, they understand they are mad, and that is precisely the unequivocal sign that they are already getting notably better. The same happens with people who have their Consciousness asleep: they do not accept they are asleep; but when they accept it, it is an unequivocal signal that they want to awaken or that they begin to awaken.

Master: Well, Hitler was another asleep one. If he had been awakened, he would not have done what he did. He was a man with the Consciousness asleep, but who dreamt of being awakened, he believed he was awakened; that was his mistake. He had the intention of creating a superior race, a blue-blooded race. He thought that the time of the Super-Man had come.
The Fifth Gospel Practical Solutions Against Collective Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976
IIIIf people had at least ten percent of Consciousness awake, there would be no wars in the world
What the sleep costs, counted in his own examples. Of a million physical facts around us we perceive one; of seven dimensions we see three. The men who walked into the dynamite store, the crowd that gathered under the loosened stone, the firemen who died of it, the flags and the slogans and the battlefields — and the ones who hung the Master on the log and did not suspect who he was.
Ordinary people whose consciousness is asleep, perceive angles, lines, and surfaces subjectively, but never the complete bodies from inside and outside, from the top and from the bottom, from the front and from the back, etc. They can perceive the void aspect of things even less.
The Buddha's Necklace, 1967
The person who has awakened his consciousness and who has an empty, illuminated mind has eliminated all subjective elements from his perceptions, and he perceives complete bodies, perceives the void aspect of each thing.
The Buddha's Necklace, 1967
Many times, any cosmic catastrophe is enough for the waves that reach the Earth to launch those asleep human machines to the battlefields. Millions of asleep machines... against millions of asleep machines.
Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967
The world has “Seven Dimensions”; however, the Intellectual Animal only perceives three because his Consciousness is asleep.
The Solar Bodies, 1968
The Intellectual Beast is bottled up in Euclidean Geometry because he has never awakened his Consciousness. The Consciousness that slumbers is content with Euclid’s Tri-dimensional Geometry.
The Solar Bodies, 1968
Within this painful planet on which we live, there exist many Asleep Pseudo-Esoteric and Pseudo-Occultist people who dream that they have awakened; meanwhile, they do not comprehend that they are trapped within the dream of their Consciousness’s paws and that many shadows of vengeance are lurking within their interior.
The Solar Bodies, 1968
The human being, or better if we say, the poor intellectual animal mistakenly called man, has his consciousness completely asleep. Therefore, he certainly is incapable of vividly experiencing that which is not from time, that which is the Reality.
Runic Magic, 1969
Truly, with profound pain we have evidenced that the cause of esoteric failure is due to the sleeping consciousness.
Runic Magic, 1969 also in Identification
In ancient times, the Great Arcanum, the Maithuna, Sex Yoga was only taught to those neophytes who had awakened their consciousness. The Hierophants knew very well that the sleeping disciples sooner or later would abandon the work in the Ninth Sphere. What is the worst is that these failing ones self-cheat themselves by thinking the best of themselves. Almost always they fall as harlots over the arms of some new little school which will grant unto them some kind of consolation. Afterwards, they pronounce phrases like these: I do not follow the Gnostic teachings, because they demand a couple. This is a matter for oneself since the Liberation, the Great Work, is a matter which has to be searched for alone.
Runic Magic, 1969
These poor sleepy ones who talk like this, think that Time and Evolution can awaken them, can Self-realize them, can take them to the final liberation. These people do not want to comprehend that Evolution and its twin sister Involution, are exclusively two mechanical laws of Nature, which work in a harmonious and coordinated way, in the whole of creation.
Runic Magic, 1969
It is necessary to awaken consciousness so as not to fall into the abyss of perdition. There now exist many leaders of esoteric groups with the con sciousness soundly asleep, “the blind leading the blind; all will fall to the abyss.” That is the Law. The human being lives completely asleep. It is necessary to awaken consciousness so as to not walk blindly. The blind can fall into the abyss. Arcanum 16 is very dangerous.
Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978
When man awakens from his dream of ignorance, he then gives himself over to his Intimus, which unites with the Christ, and the man becomes almighty as the Absolute from whence he came.
Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978
It seems incredible, but only with ten percent of awakened consciousness the wars would disappear and peace would reign in this valley of tears.
My Return to Tibet, 1969
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 Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971
I was frankly astonished at the degree of unconsciousness in which those firemen were; if they had been awake, in no way would they have perished.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
If such people had been awake, they would never have run like curious people, to the site of the occurrence. Unfortunately they slept profoundly; in this manner they found death. When we returned home, located in the Caracol suburb, our neighbors were alarmed; they supposed that we had died. They were certainly astonished that, in spite of being so close to the site of the catastrophe, we were still able to return alive. Therein lies the advantage of being awake.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
The sleeping multitudes never know the Lord.
Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983
It is necessary to awaken consciousness so as to not fall into the abyss of perdition. At present, there are many leaders of esoteric groups whose consciousness is deeply asleep. “The blind leading the blind will all tumble to the Abyss.” That is the Law.
Esoteric Course of Kabbalah
Reflect a little: up to now you are but a living ghost, a sleeping specter. You sleep, poor ghost, while your physical body sleeps, and after death you escape from the graveyard or cemetery sleeping… Woeful ghost, poor soulless being, reflect and meditate. Observe and celebrate the great covenant of Arcanum XIX so that you can incarnate your Soul and truly be. You, unfortunate creature, do not yet exist. You are asleep, you die and you know not why; you are born and you know not why. Only the blessed flame of love will make you able to truly exist, for you do not yet have real existence.
Esoteric Course of Kabbalah
Now you will understand the reason for the human unconsciousness. If people had at least ten percent of Consciousness awake, there would be no wars in the world. Unfortunately, humanity has only three percent of Consciousness awake. That means that ninety-seven percent of Consciousness sleeps profoundly.
The Fifth Gospel Analysis of the Human Psyche Public Lecture – 1977
The time for awakening has arrived, friends. It is necessary for you to wake up so that you really know this planet on which you live. Remember that around us there are many physical phenomena that you do not really know. Of all the physical phenomena that happen around us, you only perceive a millionth. It means that most of the physical phenomena that happen around you are unknown to you. You are terribly asleep!
The Fifth Gospel Analysis of the Human Psyche Public Lecture – 1977
Well, the Master was right. What will the people with the Consciousness asleep know about what they are doing? If those people had known that the one they were hanging on that log was the Son of God –the Christ, no less!– I am sure they would not have hung Him. But they did not even remotely suspect it, that is why they did not believe him. And why did they not suspect it? Because those poor people had the Consciousness asleep, bottled up among the “I’s”.
The Fifth Gospel Magic and Experimental Psychology Public Lecture – 1976 also in Identification
The amazement is not in that. The amazement is in the pile of people that gathered at the place, which positioned themselves exactly below, like this, to look up at the place from where the pieces of stone had detached. That was what caused me amazement, not the accident because it can happen to anyone; but to position oneself below to look up... that cannot be but of the ones who are asleep. I assure you that an awakened one does not do that. I, at that moment, was perplexed, not by the accident, but by the state of unconsciousness in which people are. That cannot be of awakened people! Fortunately, no more pieces fell; otherwise it would have killed more people there.
The Fifth Gospel Chaotic Consciousness and Intelligent Consciousness Public Lecture – Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico
We see how people react to the impacts, to what has already happened. But never in life, do I see people foreseeing things, but always afterwards: if something happens to them, they grab on to it, they run to look, to see what they can do, to see how they can remedy it, when it is already, for what?, when the thing has already happened. Why is that happening to them? Because they are asleep.
The Fifth Gospel Chaotic Consciousness and Intelligent Consciousness Public Lecture – Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico
Many times, in the infinite cosmos, there is a clash of worlds –because sometimes the worlds collide, they have been able to see them with telescopes–. Just as our cars collide, so do the worlds of space, sometimes, they collide. They are frightful catastrophes. Figure for yourselves a clash of worlds, how terrible it will be... And then that force comes here, to our Earth, and what do the earthlings do? They receive it and immediately enter into activity: wars are declared, they go to the battlefields, they raise slogans for democracy, for peace, for I do not know what, for I do not know when, but they ignore what was that which sent them to war: it was nothing more than the vibration from a clash of worlds in space that touched them. That force touched them, then there are millions of human beings against millions on the battlefields; they are fighting and they do not know why, they are asleep. If they were awake, it is obvious that they would not be in that.
The Fifth Gospel Chaotic Consciousness and Intelligent Consciousness Public Lecture – Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico
When they raised their eyes toward the infinite, they could perceive other planetary humanities. The planets of space were visible to the ancient people in a different way, for they saw the aura of the planets, and they could perceive as well the Planetary Genies. But when the human Consciousness became imprisoned within all those “I’s” or psychic aggregates which constitute the Myself, the “I”, the Ego, then the Consciousness fell asleep. Now, it processes itself by virtue of its own bottling.
The Fifth Gospel The Exercise of SELF-KNOWLEDGE
Certainly, their merit, their courage was highly praised; they truly deserve it. But there is something else: there is no doubt that these men were asleep; yes, their Consciousness was profoundly asleep. If it had been awakened, it would not have occurred to them to go inside a dynamite store.
The Fifth Gospel The Precariousness of the Human Psyche lst International Meeting of Hermetic Culture – Guadalajara. Jalisco, Mexico – October 28. 1975
But the people, who have the Consciousness perfectly asleep, who know nothing about these things, who do not believe in any of these things, fly flags, radiate slogans, fight for democracy, to make a better world, etc. Thus, people are asleep, they sleep profoundly, and will continue to sleep until they resolve to put an end to all those “I’s” that personify our mistakes and that we carry inside ourselves, here and now.
The Fifth Gospel The Precariousness of the Human Psyche lst International Meeting of Hermetic Culture – Guadalajara. Jalisco, Mexico – October 28. 1975
If those who crucified him had been awakened, you can be absolutely sure that he would not have been crucified. What awakened person would dare to crucify the Lord of Glory? What awakened person would dare to poison, for example, Gautama Sakyamuni, the Buddha? What awakened person would have dared to bring poison to Milarepa, that powerful Initiate from Eastern Tibet? Only those asleep are capable of those things!
The Fifth Gospel The Precariousness of the Human Psyche lst International Meeting of Hermetic Culture – Guadalajara. Jalisco, Mexico – October 28. 1975
When one awakens, he knows for himself that behind all physical, chemical, and biological phenomena, etc., there are intelligent principles that materialistic science radically ignores. The mechanic of the universe is not possible without mechanicians; it is not possible –I repeat– that order could exist in a molecule without an intelligent principle that puts order in it. That of blind, unconscious cells, in the style of Haeckel, ordering, arranging, accommodating, structuring themselves within the organs so as to form them, is completely absurd. But humanity walks around blindly, forgetting the intelligent principles, they do not know them and they cannot know them, because the purely sensual reason knows nothing about the real, about what lies behind all phenomena, about those guiding principles that are capable of organizing a molecule in a mathematical and geometrical way.
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Rebellion Against Inner Blindness
Usually, people, when facing life, do not receive the experiences directly in the Consciousness, no; they have a series of terrible preconceptions, prejudices in the mind. Any challenge is immediately shielded by some prejudices or preconceptions. Everything that happens in life does not reach the Consciousness directly, but rather all that multiplicity of prejudices that we have within, all that diversity of mistaken and contradictory feelings, but never the Consciousness and, as a consequence, we remain asleep our entire life.
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Psychology of False Feelings Third Chamber – Mexico City – May 4. 1977
This million phenomena, in fact, which happen around us are ignored by us. We only notice one in a million. Concrete physical phenomena, and yet, we ignore them. What can you tell me about this? So our Consciousness is fast asleep, isn’t it? It is stuck inside that whole bunch of people we carry inside.
The Fifth Gospel The Two Types of Metaphysical Crystallizations Thud Chamber – Mexico City – 1975
Out of all the physical phenomena that take place around us –I clarify and emphasize: the physical ones–, we can only perceive a millionth part of such phenomena, that is, there is an extraordinary multiplicity of physical phenomena that occur around us, and that we are not, in truth, capable of perceiving. We are asleep, but we think we are awake. We do not admit to being asleep, we even get offended when someone treats us like that, but, indeed, we need to awaken.
The Fifth Gospel The Verticality of Existence First Gnostic Youth Encounter – Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico – July 10. 1975
A famous writer considered that the quantity of deaths due to accidents of transit (according to annual statistics) is equivalent to the millions of deaths in the 1st World War. This appears incredible but everything continues the same, nothing changes. The accidents continue daily without human society making even a minimum effort to stop them. To people this appears natural, even normal. In reality this is only possible in people that are asleep, indolent and cruel. We should recognize that human beings have not woken up yet. They have their consciousness asleep, only in this way can we explain why this barbarism doesn’t change. This shouldn’t, however, be an excuse to continue with this murder by accident. The time has arrived to COMPREHEND that we are cruel and heartless. When we PROFOUNDLY COMPREHEND that we are cruel and heartless then in a spontaneous form COMPASSION can arise within us.
The Social Christ also in Identification
The drivers demand that the pedestrians walk around alert and vigilant in order to avoid accidents. That the drivers of vehicles wish for this is marvelous but the reality is distinct. All the world lives absorbed in his thoughts, everyone walks around dreaming. Even those that live more awake, who have learnt to be more prudent and take care when they cross the streets etc. have moments in which they don’t remember that cars exist. One instant like this, one moment of forgetfulness is enough for us to fall under the wheels of a car.
The Social Christ
A man that is truly awake and truly responsible would do all in life except drive a car in the city streets. Only to the asleep, only to the negligent, would it occur to conduce a car among the human multitudes Really the city streets and the systems of transit and circulation are now outdated. It is stupid and absurd to mix the circulation of the multitudes with the circulation of vehicles. Human civilization becomes ridiculous when we see desperate people trying to cross the road, running from the killer wheel or groups of humans on corners pleading for an opportunity to cross the street. All of this is a lack of civilization, all of this shows a lack of culture in the peoples of the Earth, all of this shows a lack of intelligence. It would only occur to a madman or an idiot that all of this is good.
The Social Christ
IVWe need to come out of this hypnotic dream
His own explanation of the sleep, and it is not a metaphor: humanity is hypnotised. A hypnotic force runs through all of nature, left in the human machine by the abominable Kundartiguador organ, and a hypnotised man cannot think correctly, cannot see what is in front of him, and does not know that he is in trance.
Truly, the evil consequences of such an organ were converted into mistaken habits and customs that entered the depths of our psyche and became converted into the subconscious. Thus, the subconscious is the same ego or the psychological ‘I’ that is rooted in the evil consequences of the Kundartiguador Organ. The Most Saintly Ashiata Shiemash fought very hard in order to take the evil consequences of the Kundartiguador Organ out from humanity. The Holy Lama in Tibet also suffered very much in order to save humanity from the horrifying consequences of the mentioned fatal organ.
Christmas Messages, 1952–66
The reader, who has closely followed the entire course of our investigations, will comprehend that Spiritualism, with its mediums or Necromancy, with its laboratories, would not have served us to carry out these transcendental Invocations of High Theurgy. Unfortunately, there are many students who would like to see, hear, touch and feel these things but their complementary faculties are damaged. Many are the people who would like to consciously “leave” in the astral body, and suffer the unutterable because they do not achieve it. The clue, which we gave in our First Chapter, with the Mantram “FARAON”, is formidable. The important thing is to never give up: to persevere, not to become tired, until one succeeds. During the normal hours of sleep, every human body is outside the physical body. The Inner being intervenes in the internal worlds, to make us comprehend integrally all the processes of daily life, for example: business that we carried out during the day, words that we uttered, emotions we experienced, etc. Unfortunately, we live in an unconscious manner daily. We do not comprehend the triple reach (physical, psychic and spiritual), of each of our actions, of each of our words, of each one of our daily sentiments. Then the Inner Being intervenes during sleep to make us see in a symbolic form, the triple reach of all the events that we realize during our daily lives. Therefore, human souls move, during sleep, in that symbolism. Those symbols are the so-called DREAMS. If we lived completely conscious of each action of our daily lives, if we comprehended the triple reach of each act of our daily lives, if before going to sleep we were to do a retrospective exercise to make total and absolute “conscious conscience”, of a determined defect, then that defect disintegrates. We remain free of it! The important thing is, therefore, that the dreamer awakens in the Internal Worlds during nor mal sleep, during nocturnal sleep, without “mediumisms”, without “hypnotisms”, etc.
Esoteric Treatise of Theurgy, 1959 also in Esoteric Treatise of Theurgy
People are hypnotized by that Blind Fohatic Force of the Kundartiguador Organ.
The Solar Bodies, 1968
Speaking about the School of the Fourth Way, we find that Gurdjieff, Ouspensky and Nicoll, have expounded that which they know, but the exposition contains many defects. For example: Gurdjieff commits the error of confusing the Kundalini with the abominable Kundartiguador organ, and Ouspensky commits the same error. We must not forget that there is that blind Fohatic force which has people hypnotised, but that it has nothing to do with the Kundalini. The Kundartiguador is the lunar fire. The bible speaks of the 44 fires, but one only can speak of two great fires: Kundalini and Kundartiguador. The first is the Pentecostal Fire, the ray of Vulcan ascending the spinal column; the positive fire which crystallises in worlds and suns. Its antithesis is the Kundartiguador, the negative fire which crystallises in those psychic aggregates, those screaming and troublesome I which we carry within. They are negative crystallisations which have people submerged in the unconscious.
Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978
Is indubitable that this blind Fohatic Force of a Luciferian Lunar type has hypnotised the whole humanity, submerged it into the unconsciousness.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971
Answer: Distinguished friends, it is clear that on falling, there resurrects in a Bodhisattva, the bad consequences of the abominable Kundartiguador organ and then, the golden embryo, the consciousness, comes to be indisputably trapped in such infrahuman factors. The result is that the consciousness in this case, loses a good percentage of its habitual lucidity, although it does not radically fall asleep.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
Hindu yoga makes meticulous analysis of this annular Serpentine fire (Kundalini) which develops, ascending in the ascetic’s body. Very little is said, nevertheless, about the descending serpent or demonic tail, whose electrical force maintains in a continuous hypnotic trance all of suffering humanity.
The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974
As soon as the poor intellectual animal awakens even if it is only for a short moment — and opens his eyes to the crude reality of life, immediately the hypnotic power of the terrible serpent of the abyss charges back with increasing force. Then the unfortunate victim falls asleep again, and dreams that he is awakening or on the eve of awakening. Only sincere Gnostics who fully understand the difficulty of awakening consciousness know that this is possible only by means of conscious works and voluntary sufferings. The terrible infernal viper knows the whole modus operandi of mechanical imagination. We would never reject objective and conscious imagination, which is diaphanous and translucent.
The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition
The intellectual animal is so hypnotized by his fantasy, that he dreams that he is a lion or eagle when in truth he is nothing more than a vile slug from the mud of the earth. The megalomaniac would never accept these aforementioned affirmations. Obviously, regardless of what people might say, he feels to be an arch-hierophant, without suspecting that fantasy is merely nothing. “Fantasy is nothing else but fantasy.” Fantasy is a real force, which acts universally upon mankind. It keeps the intellectual humanoid in a state of sleep (hypnotic state), causing him to believe that he is already a human being, that he possesses true individuality, a will, awakened consciousness and a mind of his own, etc.
Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition
What is it that we want with all this? To awaken consciousness; isn’t that so? That is the truth. That is what we want: to awaken. In the Oriental world they are not ignorant of the fact that people are asleep, no one is ignorant of it. But in the western world people believe that they are awake and nevertheless they do things that they do not want to do. They launch themselves into war, but they do not want to go to war, but they always go, even though they do not want to. Why? Because, they are hypnotized.
For the Few, 1980
We know that if a hypnotized subject, for example, is ordered to go and kill someone, he will do it. That is already anticipated in the Penal Code of all the countries of the Earth. So it happens with people from all latitudes. They are hypnotized, but believe that they are awake. If one says to them that the hour to go to war has arrived, they go to war. They do not want to go, but they go because they are hypnotized. And the hypnotized subject, hypnotized he is. This is very serious, and tremendously true.
For the Few, 1980
We need to come out of this hypnotic dream. That is true, but how are we going to come out of this hypnotic sleep? If we are content with our mental habits, with our system of reasoning, with our sentimental habits, with our distinct customs acquired by heredity and from family, then, even though we are listening to the teachings, here, in this room, we are simply wasting time.
For the Few, 1980
Everyone has a way of thinking; everyone believes that his or her way is the most correct. But, really and truly, the dispersed ways of thinking of each one of us, or of everyone all together, have nothing correct, since people are hypnotized. How can a person who is hypnotized think correctly? But, they believe that they are thinking correctly. There is your error. Your mental habits are useless.
For the Few, 1980
It is tacit that humanity has its consciousness bottled in the ego. It is clear that as long as people continue thinking as they think, feeling as they feel, and continue with their same rancid habits, they will not be able to awaken their consciousness; it will continue to be hypnotized. Consequently, or as a corollary, it can thus be said that the Bodhichitta will never come forth in people.
For the Few, 1980
Disgracefully, the Essence, the Consciousness, is found bottled up within these psychic aggregates. Thus, the Consciousness processes itself by virtue of its own embottlement. Now we better comprehend why humanity is found in such a hypnotic state, unconscious and asleep.
Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983
Moses healed the Israelites in the wilderness, with the marvelous power of the serpent of brass. Yet, the tempting serpent of Eden has this painful humanity submerged in a fatal, collective, hypnotic state.
Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983
The serpent of brass, the serpent that is entwined on the rod of Sculapius, God of Medicine, must awaken us, must take us away from the collective hypnotic state.
Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983
The world has seven dimensions, but humanity, due to the hypnotic state in which it is, unfortunately only perceives three dimensions; and that is why humanity is bottled up in the dogma –already much discussed– of the three-dimensional geometry of Euclid.
The Fifth Gospel Analysis of the Human Psyche Public Lecture – 1977
I assure you that if here, for example, someone would say among us: “I am the Son of God”, you would laugh or say: “This guy is crazy.” Why? You would say to yourself: “Well, if that’s the case, why does he not appear here and disappear, throw lightning bolts and sparks, and suddenly, float in the air producing amazement in us?” I assure you that if one of you who are present here, if one of us who are sitting here, at this table, could do that, you would not believe it either, you would not give faith to your senses; you would say: “Man, this one has us hypnotized, that is pure hypnotism, mischief. I will not even come back here in these parts.” Why? Because you are asleep. An awakened one could say: “Man, there may be something serious here. I’m going to see, right?” But that is the awakened one.
The Fifth Gospel Magic and Experimental Psychology Public Lecture – 1976
The various psychic aggregates that we carry inside us, and within which the Consciousness is bottled, are the terrible result of the hypnotic power of the abominable Kundartiguador Organ, the descending serpent. Now you will understand why that horrible Python has massively hypnotized all humanity.
The Fifth Gospel The Wonders of Awakened Consciousness Public Lecture – 1975
Each one has a way of thinking and each one believes that his way of thinking is the most correct one. But, in reality and in truth, the different ways of thinking by each one of us or by everyone as a whole, do not contain anything that is correct because we are hypnotized.

The Fifth Gospel Psychoemotional Metamorphosis of Man Third Chamber – Mexico City – July 27, 1977
One could object to me that if that is the case, then why do we not see them? Why do we not witness what is unusual? Why are we not given the possibility to experience those wonders? The answer is the following: no one has forbidden us the capacity of experimentation, no one prevents us from seeing and hearing what happens around us. If such phenomena are not perceptible at this moment to our external senses, it is due to a single reason –and a very serious one by the way–: we are in a state of hypnosis, asleep; and the person in a hypnotic trance becomes incapable of perceiving such phenomena.

Much has been said about the abominable Kundartiguador Organ, a fatal organ that humanity had in ancient times. It has not been completely lost. We know well that a bone residue still exists at the lower base of the spine; no one ignores it. Such residue belongs to the abominable Kundartiguador Organ, and it possesses, among other things, a formidable hypnotic power; that general, collective, hypnotic current is fascinating.

If we see someone, for example, dressed with extravagance in the street, we do not feel astonishment; we simply say: “What an eccentric individual!” Another person who is with us will say: “That is how fashion is!” The person over there will exclaim: “There’s a hippie!”; and an elderly man, walking by on the opposite sidewalk, will merely think: “How are the people of the new wave!” But all of them are in a state of hypnosis and that is all.
The Fifth Gospel Pedagogy of Knowing How to Live Third Chamber Mexico City – 1974
It is very difficult –I repeat– to discover the state of hypnosis in which one is. One comes to realize that hypnotism exists when the hypnotic force flows faster, and when it concentrates in a specific place, when a hypnotism session is performed. Other than that, beside such a moment, one does not realize that one is in a state of hypnosis. If one could awaken from this sleep in which one is, he would then see the wonderful phenomena that have occurred around him since the beginning of the world.

“What is your name?” And the possessed person answered: “My name is Legion!” What is the name of each one of you present here? Legion! You do not have a true individuality, you have not attained it. The Consciousness in each one of you sleeps terribly. Why? Because it processes itself by virtue of its own bottling; therefore, it is in a state of hypnosis and that cannot be denied.
The Fifth Gospel The Need to Crystallize the Soul Second Chamber – Mexico City – January 1977
You, my dear brothers, through these teachings and these conferences, have already received much esoteric learning. We have shown you how to become independent from the lunar forces, which are mechanistic, and how to acquire solar intelligence. I have told you that, by means of Fire, we can liberate ourselves from lunar mechanics; I have told you that, by means of Fire, we can become Solar Men. But, above all, I want us all to be honest here tonight. Have you already realized, by any chance, what your own level of the Being is, in which level of the Being you are? Are you conscious that you are hypnotized, that you are asleep?
The Fifth Gospel The Destruction of our Lunar Inheritance Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 1977
For example: on one occasion, while working in the astral world, a dream slipped out of my mind. Ipso facto I realized that a dream had just slipped out, and before it took shape in those supra-sensitive regions, I eliminated it. So, I did not give it the opportunity to hypnotize or fascinate me, because I live awake in those worlds, and I see those who are asleep when I work in the supra-sensitive regions. Here, there and everywhere there are thousands of persons, people who are asleep, they look like sleepwalkers as they walk; people who have never in their lives worried about the awakening of the Consciousness.

But there is something very interesting in all this, and it is actually, the concrete fact that people do not realize that they live in a continuous hypnotic state; people only come to know hypnotism when they are put under concentration, when a hypnotic session is performed, etc.
The Fifth Gospel Animic Involution or Intimate Revolution Third Chamber – Mexico City – April 1973
Everywhere we see signs of hypnotism, magnetism, suggestion, etc., but the multitudes ignore that they are precisely in a continuous hypnotic state. This state is due to the sinister force of the abominable Kundartiguador Organ.
The Fifth Gospel Practical Solutions Against Collective Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976
Now then, it is obvious that the Essence, the Consciousness, bottled up within the ‘“I”, is processed by virtue of its own conditioning. Since the Ego is subjective because it is the result of error, the Consciousness, bottled up within the Ego, processes itself subjectively, it is in a state of hypnosis, it sleeps profoundly.
The Fifth Gospel Practical Solutions Against Collective Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976
Thus, the state of unconscious sleep in which humanity lives is due to the fact that the Consciousness is bottled up within the Ego; and since the Ego is the result of the abominable Kundartiguador Organ, we can draw the conclusion or corollary that the hypnotic sleep in which the Consciousness is found is due to the abominable Kundartiguador Organ.
The Fifth Gospel Practical Solutions Against Collective Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976
Extending this to the collectivity, we could say that the crowds are hypnotized by the sinister force of the abominable Kundartiguador Organ. In making this assertion, we speak with accuracy. The funny thing about this is that people do not realize that they are hypnotized; they only come to know of hypnotism when that force is concentrated in one place, that is to say, in a hypnotic session, for example. Millions of human beings live in a state of hypnosis, and that is always unfortunate. Let us see, sister...
The Fifth Gospel Practical Solutions Against Collective Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976
Well, continuing along the path of this dissertation, we see the need that we have to awaken from this hypnotic sleep. It takes some effort for people to understand this, because there is a very strong tendency to believe that we are awakened.
The Fifth Gospel Practical Solutions Against Collective Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976
Master: Well, the hypnotic force is of a general type, because while it is true that all the millions of soldiers in the world are in a hypnotic state, I could assert that not only the soldiers, but everyone is in a state of hypnosis.
The Fifth Gospel Practical Solutions Against Collective Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976
His objective was to lead humanity to awaken, to fight for the awakening of people. But he was going along the path of magnetism. He knew that the Kundartiguador Organ had submerged people in this state of hypnosis, and he was appealing to the magnetic forces; he planned to go a long way along that path, but he could not finish his work.
The Fifth Gospel Practical Solutions Against Collective Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976
Any individual in a state of hypnosis can, sometimes, come up with genius ideas even if he is not called Marconi. And that does not mean that he is not in a state of hypnosis. There are persons who have sparkling intellectuality, who would seem as if they are awakened, but it is not the case, they sleep profoundly. What happens is that the individuals in a state of hypnotic trance can also experience extraordinary lucid phenomena.
The Fifth Gospel Practical Solutions Against Collective Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976
As long as one continues in a state of hypnosis, he is doing very bad. Awakening, of course, is what is important! Could one perhaps awaken if he has not destroyed the consequences of the abominable Kundartiguador Organ? Of course not, right? If one does not destroy those terrible consequences which he carries within his organism, in the five cylinders of his machine, he cannot achieve the awakening. How would he do it, in what way? Don’t you see that the Consciousness is bottled up within those elements which constitute the Ego?
The Fifth Gospel Practical Solutions Against Collective Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976
This is how the human being lives constantly, strengthening within himself the bad consequences of the abominable Kundartiguador Organ; because with each aggregate that one adds to those that already exist within his organism, new percentages of Consciousness become trapped in there.
The Fifth Gospel Practical Solutions Against Collective Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976
So, the state in which we find ourselves is truly regrettable. And if we do not revolutionize against ourselves, if we do not fight against ourselves, then it will not be possible to wake up from the hypnotic sleep in which we find ourselves.
The Fifth Gospel Practical Solutions Against Collective Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976
It is not enough to simply comprehend that we are in a hypnotic state. Something has to be done to awaken from this state, otherwise, we will fail inevitably, we will enter into submerged involution, because if we are not capable of doing the work, then Nature has to help us.
The Fifth Gospel Practical Solutions Against Collective Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976
It is not pleasant at all to descend to that region. I advise you to rather disintegrate the Ego here and now. That way you will awaken Consciousness, you will get out of this hypnotic state which you are in yourselves.
The Fifth Gospel Practical Solutions Against Collective Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976
When we observe the humanoids, both in life and after death, we see that they are absolutely irresponsible, machines controlled by the various aggregates. The latter fight for supremacy. Each one of them wants to control the capital centers of the machine, that is the harsh reality. In that sense, all humanoids are irresponsible. The psychic aggregates are the result of the consequences of the abominable Kundartiguador Organ. We also said that the Consciousness is bottled up within the Ego, and that it processes itself according to its own conditioning. Now then, if the Ego is the result of the bad consequences of the abominable Kundartiguador Organ, this means that the Consciousness is hypnotized by that universal hypnotic force. All humanoids are victims of that hypnotic force, but people do not realize the harsh reality until such hypnotic energy flows more rapidly, in a precipitated and concentrated way, as in the hypnotic sessions.
The Fifth Gospel Serious Consequences of Human Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1973
If we observe carefully the humanoids, we will see that they are hypnotized, that they commit hundreds of mistakes –if we analyze them, it is true–, but we attribute it to the character, to the psychological song of people, we look for one hundred and fifty thousand justifications, etc.
The Fifth Gospel Serious Consequences of Human Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1973
Now, if we observe the basic life of people, we will see unusual, terrible extravagances, but for everything there is a justification. We would say: such hippy fashion, an extravagance in the way of dressing; that someone turns out to be doing something out of fashion –as they say–, these are whims. For everything there is a justification, but the harsh reality of things is that everyone is hypnotized and they do not know it. The hypnotic force comes –I repeat– from the abominable Kundartiguador Organ, this is true. The Ego comes from the abominable Kundartiguador Organ, and as the latter is subjective, it is processed within the Ego in a subjective way. This means that the Consciousness is hypnotized, it is a victim of hypnosis, a hypnosis produced by the abominable Kundartiguador Organ. Now we can understand the reason for the lack of responsibility of many personalities.
The Fifth Gospel Serious Consequences of Human Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1973
Indeed, we are wrong in the mind, in the memory, with all that our parents teach us at home, the teachers at school, our little friends on the street, etc. Besides creating an absurd personality, we are getting unbalanced with this false data of those who are in a hypnosis state of the real Consciousness, to such an extent that the real Consciousness remains cornered, remains underestimated. In it are contained, for example, the attributes of authentic faith, the real hope and the legitimate love; there is religion, wisdom; also, those particles of pain of the Father who is in secret, who suffers for our mistakes. But this data is progressively relegated, introduced into the depths wrongly classified by the famous contemporary psychologists as sub-consciousness, and some define it as human infra-consciousness, taking as real Consciousness the result of all the information we have received during our first years. An artificial, false Consciousness is formed, which is the one that is imposed everywhere.
The Fifth Gospel Serious Consequences of Human Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1973
That is to say, I am going to give you weapons so that you can defeat Kali and reach Adepthood. It is hard to overcome Kali, but not impossible if you have the keys. The first thing to do is not to forget yourself. Why is that the first thing? Because Kali has us all hypnotized. Well, not me, frankly; I am out of that. Excuse me if, for a moment, I give up modesty to say that she does not have me, but she does have you, in dire straits, hypnotized. And it is a matter of breaking that hypnotic influence of the goddess Kali.
The Fifth Gospel The Binary Serpentine Power also in Identification
Well, then, my dear brothers, all these aberrations indicate to us that humanity is hypnotized. But they do not realize that they are hypnotized. And who has got them hypnotized? The terrible serpent Kali has them hypnotized. But they do not realize that they are hypnotized, and they find justification for their hypnosis. People only get to realize that collective hypnosis exists, that hypnotism exists, when the hypnotic force flows more rapidly, when it is concentrated in a hypnology room, in a center where someone is hypnotized. But outside that instant, people ignore that they are hypnotized. If the subject of a hypnotic experiment is told to stand on his head, he does that. If he is told that he is on the bank of a river, that he should undress and cross to the other side, that he is a good swimmer, he would start slowly undressing himself. Of course, he accepts what he is told, he believes what he is told because he is in a state of hypnosis. He is doing fifty thousand foolish things which are more absurd than those which a drunk would commit, an inebriate, but for him they are logical.
The Fifth Gospel The Binary Serpentine Power
All human beings are one hundred percent mechanical. Unconscious beings working with their consciousness asleep without knowing where they come from, or where they are going; they are profoundly hypnotized.
The Revolution of the Dialectic
The hypnosis, which is collective and flows in all of nature, is derived from the abominable Kundartiguador organ. This race is hypnotized, unconscious, submerged in the most profound sleep.
The Revolution of the Dialectic
Have we noticed our own level of Being, of the level of the Being where we are? Are we conscious that we are hypnotized and asleep?
The Revolution of the Dialectic
Although it may seem incredible, all human beings are in a state of “collective hypnosis”. Such hypnosis is produced by the residual state of the abominable Kundartiguador organ; when the latter was eliminated, the different psychic aggregates or inhuman elements which in their mass constitute the myself, the oneself, remained. These elements and subelements, in turn, condition the consciousness and keep it in a state of hypnosis. In this manner, therefore, hypnosis of a collective type exists. The entire world is hypnotized! The mind is engrossed in the world of the five senses and does not manage to comprehend how it could become independent of them; it firmly believes that it is a god. Our interior life, the true life of thoughts and feelings, continues being confused for our mere reasoning and intellective conceptions. Nonetheless, at the same time we know very well that the place where we really live is our world of thoughts and feelings; this is something that no one can deny.
The Revolution of the Dialectic
VNormally, humanity possesses three percent of free Consciousness
The arithmetic, which *Identification* reserved to this work by name. Three per cent free, ninety-seven bottled — and the newborn child, who has the three per cent and nothing else, is self-conscious, sees the adults around the cradle as one sees drunks in the street, and then falls asleep by imitating them.
This present humanity is ninety-seven per cent in the subconscious. Therefore, this humanity sleeps profoundly, not only in this physical world, but also in the supra-sensible worlds: during the sleep of the physical body as well as after death.
Christmas Messages, 1952–66
The intellectual animal falsely named man dies unconsciously and is born unconsciously, and goes blindly from the cradle to the grave, without knowing where he comes from or where he is going. In making Soul we awaken Consciousness and only then become aware of the mysteries of life and death. Any man with Soul can negotiate with the Angels of Death, and disincarnate himself at will, in accordance with his needs. This means having the power to lengthen his life if he considers it necessary in order to realise or complete some task in the physical world.
The Book of the Dead, 1965
The consciousness of humanity is ninety-seven percent subconscious and three percent conscious.
Fundamental Education, 1970
We have been wisely told that we have ninety-seven percent of subconsciousness and three percent of Consciousness.
Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975
Plainly and bluntly speaking, we shall state that the ninety-seven percent of Essence that we carry within ourselves is bottled up, stuffed, inserted within each one of the “I’s” which in their conjunction constitute the “Myself.”
Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975
Newly born children are marvelous. They enjoy total self-cognizance. They are totally awake.
Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975
We do not mean to state that one hundred percent of the Essence or Consciousness is reembodied within the newly born child; it is only the three percent of free consciousness that normally is not bottled up within the “I’s Nevertheless, that free percentage of Essence, re embodied within the organisms of newly born babies gives them full self-cognizance, lucidity; etc.
Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975
When we come into this world we all have in the existence a three per cent of consciousness and a ninety-seven per cent which can be distributed among subconsciousness, infraconsciousness and unconsciousness. The three per cent of awake consciousness can be increased as we work upon ourselves.
The Great Rebellion, 1975
Normally, humanity possesses three percent of free Consciousness. If humanity had ten percent of Consciousness, then wars would not exist.
Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983
Bear in mind, my dear friends, that when a child is born, the following is processed: we effectively have three percent of awakened Consciousness. That three percent takes charge of the child’s organism and the other ninety-seven percent, which is made up of psychic aggregates, will go around the cradle, trying to get inside the human organism, but will not be able to do so. In order for the psychic aggregates to enter the human organism, a new personality needs to be created.
The Fifth Gospel Analysis of the Human Psyche Public Lecture – 1977
That personality is created during the first seven years of childhood, and it strengthens with time and experiences. The first three or four years of the child are very beautiful: only the Essence, the Consciousness, express through the creature, that is why the child is self-conscious, awake.
The Fifth Gospel Analysis of the Human Psyche Public Lecture – 1977
How does a newborn child see us? A newborn child sees adults as you see drunks on the street; this is how a newborn child sees you. He is awake because, in him, the three percent of awakened Consciousness is inside, present, and the “I’s” have not yet penetrated into his body.
The Fifth Gospel Chaotic Consciousness and Intelligent Consciousness Public Lecture – Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico
I do not want to tell you that one hundred percent of the Essence is expressed in a newborn child, no. Obviously, in the creature that has come, in the one that has returned to existence – that has been reincorporated, I mean, into a new human organism– only a tiny fraction of the Essence is expressed, that minimum free fraction – which can express itself because it is free in the child– unquestionably is also awake and self-conscious. It is a pity that the totality of the Essence cannot express itself. Practically, three percent of the Essence is expressed in a newborn child, the three percent that is free, self-awakened and conscious; therefore, he has many fully active intimate senses.
The Fifth Gospel The Objective Knowledge of the Essence Lecture given to Gnostic students – 1976
Obviously, as time passes, everything changes. That child will gradually fall asleep, especially due to adults. He begins to imitate the gestures of his elders, their inferior emotions, etc., until he also ends up asleep, doing the same things.
The Fifth Gospel The Objective Knowledge of the Essence Lecture given to Gnostic students – 1976
As the Ego is multiple, any true Enlightened One who decides to observe a newborn child, will see the following: the child in his cradle, awake; a minimum fraction of his Essence, which is the one thing that expresses itself, and is completely self-conscious, awake. But creatures that try to manifest themselves, different Egos, different “I’s” will also be seen around the cradle, some in beautiful shapes, others in horrifying forms that come and go, enter and exit that room where the child sleeps, they circle his cradle, etc. Those are the “I’s” that await to express themselves. The rest of the Essence are distributed within those “I’s”, that is, the ninety-seven percent of the Essence, they are bottled up inside each one of those “I’s” –inside one “I” a certain amount of Essence [is] bottled up; among another “I”, another quantity, etc.
The Fifth Gospel The Objective Knowledge of the Essence Lecture given to Gnostic students – 1976
How great –I say– if the Essence was not bottled, trapped within all the ”I’s”; how great if the child grew up without any “I” getting inside of him, if only the totality of his Essence existed in him throughout his life. Then all the five cylinders of the machine –intellect, emotion, movement, instinct and sex– would be under the control of the Essence and he would be marching in harmony with the infinite. Unfortunately, ninety-seven percent of the Essence is bottled up among the various elements that constitute the Ego, the “I”. We need to develop the Essence, unbottle it, liberate it. When we achieve this, multiple divine, natural powers will express themselves in us, in all their beauty and all their power. We do not need to strive for powers; what we must strive for is to die within ourselves, here and now, because “only with death does the new come”.
The Fifth Gospel The Objective Knowledge of the Essence Lecture given to Gnostic students – 1976
Nowadays, when one is born, it is obvious that the Essence manages to express itself a little. It is well known that every normal, ordinary person possesses ninety-seven percent of subconsciousness and three percent of free Consciousness or Essence.
The Fifth Gospel The Wonders of Awakened Consciousness Public Lecture – 1975
Upon coming to the world, upon returning, upon re-entering, upon reincorporating, that three percent of the free Essence impregnates the fertilized egg and manifests itself in the body of the newborn. The ninety-seven percent of sub-consciousness of the Essence is trapped among the “I’s”, among the psychic aggregates; it has no opportunity to express itself.
The Fifth Gospel The Wonders of Awakened Consciousness Public Lecture – 1975
Thus, what is expressed in the child is the free Essence, the small percentage of free Essence; that gives them self-consciousness, conscious objectivity. A newborn child is self-conscious, but the adult believes that the newborn is unconscious, that it does not realize anything, and they are wrong. A newborn, to be precise, is different: they see the lamentable state in which the adults are in; they do not ignore that adults are asleep, they see them as they are; they are awake.
The Fifth Gospel The Wonders of Awakened Consciousness Public Lecture – 1975
The “I’s” or psychic aggregates –whatever we call them–, personify errors, they circle the cradle of the creature; they come, they go, they want to enter that body, but they do not have the opportunity, why? It is interesting to see that only the pure, free, self-conscious Essence manages to express itself through the child; that is why the child is awake. Sometimes, babies laugh. What do they laugh at? At their own “I’s” that come and go. Other times they become frightened when they see their very ugly “I’s”. They also often see the relatives of their past existences, and remember their previous lives; they do not ignore anything, and this is wonderful.
The Fifth Gospel The Wonders of Awakened Consciousness Public Lecture – 1975
Normally, anyone can have one percent of awakened Consciousness; another may have nothing; another may have two and another three percent. If humanity had ten percent of awakened Consciousness, there would no longer be wars. Having one hundred percent is something very difficult. Only the Kumaras could have that one hundred percent, the great Prajapatis, the great Elohim.
The Fifth Gospel Pedagogy of Knowing How to Live Third Chamber Mexico City – 1974
At birth we are beautiful. Why? Because we all have three percent of free Essence at our disposal, as I said in my book entitled Revolutionary Psychology. The remaining ninety-seven percent is bottled up in the multiplicity of the Ego. The existing free element impregnates the fecundated egg and comes into existence, reincorporated again.
The Fifth Gospel Didactics for Buddhist Annihilation Conference at the end of the Missionary Course – Guadalajara, Jalisco. Mexico – From June 15 to August 30. 1976
So the newborn child possesses precisely that: three percent of free Consciousness, not bottled up in any Ego. The percentage of Essence manifested in a child is self-conscious. How would a newborn see adults, his parents, his brothers, his relatives? In the same way that you see a “stoner”, like that and not in any other way. But see how adults feel that they even have authority to educate the child; they believe they can educate him. The child in turn feels bad, a complete martyr, victim of those “stoners” who want to teach him.
The Fifth Gospel Didactics for Buddhist Annihilation Conference at the end of the Missionary Course – Guadalajara, Jalisco. Mexico – From June 15 to August 30. 1976
And at last, when the one who was a child becomes an adult, things change: he is no longer that playful, self-conscious child of past times, no; now he is the scoundrel of the bar, the businessman, the lustful person, the jealous man, etc. In short, he has become that which the child looked at with horror. It is clear that the child is horrified upon seeing the adult; now the child has become an adult, and the worst part is that his Consciousness has fallen asleep, he is no longer able to look at himself with horror.
The Fifth Gospel Didactics for Buddhist Annihilation Conference at the end of the Missionary Course – Guadalajara, Jalisco. Mexico – From June 15 to August 30. 1976 also in Fear
We can assure you that there is a ninety-seven percent of subconsciousness and a three percent of Consciousness. Speaking in other terms, we would say that ninety-seven percent of the Consciousness is asleep and that there is only three percent of awakened Consciousness. However, there are people who do not reach the three percent of awakened Consciousness, normally they reach two percent, and there are those who only reach one percent. But if we tell people that their Consciousness is asleep, they would not believe it, rather they would be offended. It is hard to tell people that they sleep, because they do not believe you, they think they are awake, or they think that we are hurting them, that we are offending them.
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Discipline for Awakening Interview – Mexico City – 1970 also in Identification
VIThe Consciousness, in us, is asleep, it is stuck inside a dungeon
Where the sleep actually is. Not a mood and not a habit: the Essence is shut inside the multiplicity of I's, each one a dungeon, and what the psychologists call the subconscious, the unconscious and the infraconscious are only zones of that one sleeping consciousness.
For example, if you, dear reader, in the moments in which you find yourself reading this book, see an elephant or crocodile enter into your house, would that not be strange to you? Are you such an unconscious an individual that it would not even occur to you to investigate this curious nonsense? Would you continue asleep?
The Elementary Level Perfect Matrimony, 1950
Many Gnostic students when they explore the subconscious, commit the error of dividing themselves between intellect and subconscious, analyser and analysed, subject and object, perceiver and perceived, me and my subconscious, etc., etc. These types of divisions create antagonisms, struggles, battles between what I am and what the subconscious is, between the intellect and subconscious. These types of battles are absurd, because me and my subconscious is all me, all subconscious self/ego/me, because the intellect is also subconscious. The animal intellect is 97% subconscious. The machine-man has still not awakened the consciousness, which is why he is only a machine-man.
Christmas Messages, 1952–66
The reality is another thing. Nothing is given us as a gift. Every thing costs. Nothing is attained through curiosity instantaneously, rapidly. Everything has its process and its development. Kundalini develops, evolves and progresses very slowly within the aura of the Mahachoam. Kundalini has the power of awakening consciousness. Nevertheless the process of awakening is slow, gradual, and natural, without spectacular, sensational, emotional, crude events. When consciousness already has awakened totally it is not something sensational, or spectacular. It is simply a reality as natural as a tree that grew slowly, unfolded and developed without sudden leaps or sensational events. Nature is nature. The Gnostic student in the begin-fling says, “I am dreaming. Later he exclaims, “I am in the astral body, outside the physical body”. Later still he obtains Samãdhi, ecstasy, and enters the fields of Paradise. In the beginning the manifestations are sporadic, discontinuous, followed by long periods of unconsciousness. Much later, the Igneous Wings give us continual uninterrupted awakened consciousness.
The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)
Girls marry, make their homes, have children, argue with the neighbors, the husband and the kids, divorce, remarry, are widowed, grow old, etc. In the end, they die after having lived asleep, unconscious, always repeating the same painful drama of existence.
Fundamental Education, 1970
Unfortunately, the human being is an unconscious, sleeping robot, who only knows how to imitate: we imitate other people’s clothing, and out of that imitation emerge the different trends of fashion. We imitate other people’s customs and habits, even when they are quite mistaken.
Fundamental Education, 1970
The chakras mentioned by Mr. Leadbeater and many other authors relate to the spatial sense in the same way as flowers relate to the tree, which gives them life. What is important is the tree. The spatial sense is the awakened consciousness functioning normally. All truly awakened people can see, hear, touch, smell, and taste everything that happens in the forty-nine subconscious levels of Yaldabaoth.
The Buddha's Necklace, 1967
We should Awaken Consciousness in the Word, in the Creative Larynx, in order for it to one day also be able to pronounce the Spermatic and Luminous Fiat of the first instant. Consciousness sleeps in our larynx; we are unconscious with the word; we need to become fully Conscious of the Word.
Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967
When we auto-discover ourselves, when we become conscious of the activities of the I in the five centers of the machine and in the forty-nine subconscious regions, we then awaken consciousness.
Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967
Within Ancient Schools of Mysteries, Sex Yoga (Maithuna) was never taught onto the neophytes who previously did not accomplish with the basic requirement of SelfAwakening their Consciousness. Asleep, unconscious Neophytes cannot have cognizant consciousness of the work that they are performing; thus sooner or latter they abandon the Great Work.
The Solar Bodies, 1968
It is noticeable that the Consciousness inserted within the innumerable ‘I’s, which constitute the ego, does not enjoy authentic illumination. It is found in a state of somnolence. Thus it sleeps, it is a victim of the vain illusions of Maya.
My Return to Tibet, 1969
It is certain that the consciousness, bottled up inside all of those subjective fractions of the Papapurusha, sleeps profoundly. It is subconsciousness...
Parsifal Unveiled, 1970
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 Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971
Since the three-brained or three-Centered biped, mistakenly called man, has not yet awakened consciousness, has not created the existential bodies of the Being, he only possesses, in reality, subconscious and subjective states.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
Obviously, on awakening consciousness, these 49 states become conscious and only then, would we have conscious and integral objectivity.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
We need to transform the subconscious into conscious and this is only possible by disintegrating the psychic aggregates that make up the ego, the myself, the very self. Let us remember that consciousness is bottled up in such aggregates. Disintegrating the latter, the consciousness becomes awakened.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
Answer: Sir, I think that your question is quite interesting ostensibly, the submerged states of Pluto, let us call them infraconsciousness, unconsciousness, subconsciousness, are radically eliminated when consciousness awakened.

Normally people only possess 3% of awake consciousness and 97% of subconsciousness or asleep consciousness.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
Someone has to control the brain to carry out actions; it is controlled by the psychic aggregates or it is controlled by the scientists through special electric systems. In any case the investigations come to totally confirm what we say; the intellectual humanoid is an unconscious, automatic, subconscious machine.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
This doctrine goes straight to the point, to concrete, dear and definite facts. This doctrine emphatically affirms that the “intellectual animal,” mistakenly called human being, is a mechanical, unconscious, asleep biped.
Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975
Unquestionably, as long as the Essence or Consciousness continues bottled up within each one of the “I” that we carry within our interior, it will always be asleep, in a subconscious state.
Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975
We are asleep people, unconscious people, and this is what is serious. Unfortunately, we think the best of ourselves and not even suspect that we are asleep.
The Great Rebellion, 1975
When one talks to the crowds, when one declares to them the harsh realism of the revolutionary Christ, of the red Christ, of the rebellious Christ, one immediately receives epithets as the following: blasphemous, heretical, evil, profaner, sacrilegious, etc. Crowds are like this, always unconscious, always asleep. Now we will comprehend why the Christ, crucified on the Golgotha exclaims with all the strength of his soul: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do!
The Great Rebellion, 1975
Perhaps it seems correct to you to not know how to handle your consciousness? I understand that it is absurd to take it to places wherein it should not be, that is obvious. Unfortunately, I repeat, our consciousness is bottled, yes, embottled among distinct inhuman elements that we carry in our interior. We need to break all of the elements inside of which the consciousness is found embottled. But, how can we do that if we do not change our way of thinking? If we are very content with our old extemporaneous and senile habits that we have in our mind, will we concern ourselves with the awakening of our consciousness? Clearly not. If we want to change, let us change from this very moment on, changing our mental habits, our way of thinking.
For the Few, 1980
The Consciousness of human beings is bottled up within the various inhuman elements that constitute the Myself, the Oneself. As long as those elements continue within the psyche, the Essence will also continue bottled up within them. Then, the awakening will be impossible.
The Fifth Gospel Essence of the Gnostic Pedagogy Lecture given to the brothers of El Salvador – Mexico City – 1975
The most dignifying thing that we have within us is the animic Essence. Unfortunately, the animic Essence is bottled up among all those ”I’s”; this is why it is found asleep, unconscious. This means that all of us, human beings, are asleep, unconscious. However, people firmly believe that they are awake and there is no such thing: they are not awake.
The Fifth Gospel Chaotic Consciousness and Intelligent Consciousness Public Lecture – Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico
But if I had not worked on myself, if I had not obtained the awakening, I would be completely unconscious like all the people. Therefore, to be able to know where one comes from, where one goes and what one is called, he has no choice but to awaken the Consciousness.
The Fifth Gospel Chaotic Consciousness and Intelligent Consciousness Public Lecture – Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico
The harsh reality of the facts is that our Consciousness is found bottled up, buried, stuffed into all that multiplicity of “I’s”, in all that tenebrous and abominable horde that we carry within us. The Consciousness, in us, is asleep, it is stuck inside a dungeon, or inside many dungeons because each “I” is a dungeon, a horrible prison.
The Fifth Gospel The Organization of our Inner World Public Lecture – 1975
When the Essence was free, it was awake; at that time, there was only light within us, it was said that we were in Eden. But when the Ego arose in us, the Essence got bottled up in it. When the Essence was free, there was true faith, the product of true knowledge. But when the Ego appeared and the Essence was trapped in it, undoubtedly, faith was lost. Today, skepticism reigns supreme on the face of the Earth.

There will come a day when light will triumph within us, and then we will be enlightened. Darkness is unconsciousness, light is awakened Consciousness. When light triumphs over darkness, we will shine in the infinite space; we will have truly achieved becoming Masters of Samadhi, true Enlightened Masters, true shining Masters.
The Fifth Gospel The Wonders of Awakened Consciousness Public Lecture – 1975
Unfortunately, the Consciousness –which is the worthiest thing that we all have within us– is trapped, tucked inside each one of these “I’s” or persons who live within our person. As these “I’s” –or inner persons we carry within us– are one hundred percent subjective, naturally, our Consciousness is functioning by virtue of its own conditioning; that is, it has become subjective, it is asleep.
The Fifth Gospel The Problem of Psychological Multiplicity
Nowadays, all of you, without exceptions, have the consciousness asleep; it is trapped, bottled up in the Myself, in the Oneself, and in the Ego.
The Fifth Gospel The Reality and Fantasy of our Psychology Public Lecture – 1976 also in Identification
One, as a Gnostic, wants to have conceptual clarity, lucid ideas, radical enlightenment, without incoherences, without vagueness, without subjectivism of any kind. But, unfortunately, the representations that we carry within ourselves and the various aggregates condition the Consciousness in such a way that they really keep it on the unpleasant tracks of the subconsciousness and even of the infra-consciousness and unconsciousness.
The Fifth Gospel The Serious Damages of Mental Representations Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 1977
Master: Well, certainly, it is possible that, for an instant, someone is awake, even though he is bottled up in the Ego. If the Consciousness is able to awaken, obviously, it is because the Ego has lost volume; and when the awakening is radical, total and absolute, the Ego no longer exists, it has disappeared.
The Fifth Gospel Pedagogy of Knowing How to Live Third Chamber Mexico City – 1974
It is only by means of the fire of Aries, the Lamb, of the incarnated Rain, of the inner Christ, that we can truly burn those inhuman elements which we carry in our interior; as consciousness becomes unbottled, we will awaken.
The Revolution of the Dialectic
Dreams belong to the unconscious. When one awakens consciousne ss, he leaves behind dreams. Dreams are nothing but projections of the mind. I remember a certain case that I lived in the superior worlds. It was only an instant of carelessness. I saw how a dream came out of my mind. I was about to start dreaming and I reacted in the dream that had escaped me for one second; but since I became aware of the process, I quickly walked away from that petrified form that escaped from my own mind. Suppose I had been asleep? I would have stayed there, beautifully entangled in that mental form. When one awakens, one immediately knows that in a moment of inattention, a dream can escape and one remains entangled all night until daylight.
The Revolution of the Dialectic
In us, exists, for example, 3% of consciousness and 97% of subconscious, that is true. So what we have of consciousness should direct itself to what we have of unconscious or subconscious to recriminate it and make it see that it has to become conscious. But there is a need for the conscious part to recriminate the subconscious part, so that the subconscious becomes conscious. This matter of the conscious part directing itself to the subconscious part is a very important exercise that can be practiced at dawn, so that in this manner, the unconscious parts become conscious, little by little.
The Revolution of the Dialectic
VIIThe so called Vigil State is really dreaming while Awake
The ladder, as he counts it in six books. Sleep; the state we misname vigil, which is the same dream carried back into the body and is the more dangerous of the two; self-cognizance; and objective consciousness. We are born in the third and fall into the second.
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.
The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)
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.
The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)
It is necessary to repeat what we have said in previous chapters. Four states of consciousness exist: sleep, the vigil state, self-consciousness, and objective consciousness.
Fundamental Education, 1970
Normally, people live in the first two states of consciousness.
The Buddha's Necklace, 1967
There are four states of Consciousness that are possible for man: Sleep, Vigil Consciousness, Self Consciousness and Objective Consciousness.
Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967
The Intellectual Animal divides his painful and miserable life between run-of-the-mill sleep and the improperly called Vigil state, which unfortunately is another form of sleep. While the physical body sleeps in bed, the Ego, enveloped in its Lunar Bodies, goes around with the consciousness asleep like a somnambulist moving freely in the molecular region.
Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Identification
When the Ego enveloped in its Lunar Bodies returns to the Physical Body, then follows the second state of consciousness called Vigil State, which is after all nothing else but another form of sleep.
Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967
When the Ego returns to its physical body, the dreams continue in the interior; the so called Vigil State is really dreaming while Awake.
Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967
When the sun rises, the stars are hidden, but they do not cease to exist; this is how dreams are in the vigil state they continue secretly, they do not cease to exist.
Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967
During the hours of rest of the physical body, the Ego (I) exits the physical body and takes along its dreams wherever it goes. When it returns to the physical body, when it once again enters the Vigil state, it continues with its same dreams and in this manner, it spends its entire life dreaming.
Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967
The second state (mistakenly classified as a state of Vigil Consciousness) is in its depth, a simple continuation of our Dreams. Indeed, this state is much more dangerous than the first state.
The Solar Bodies, 1968
It is obvious and ostensible that his answers left me completely satisfied: “Yes, I am awakened, I have a physical body. However, in these very moments I feel that my consciousness is starting to sleep in degrees, slowly, little by little, in accordance with the attraction exerted by my dense vehicle, towards that which people call the State of Vigil .” The most interesting thing was that ineffable moment in which the Adept, while ecstatically floating within the sidereal environment, blessedly joined his two feet, in such a way that the souls of his feet made contact together. Then, it is evident that he fortified himself, his consciousness recovered its lucidity.
My Return to Tibet, 1969
Lying down again on my hard bed of penitent and anchorite, in that Hindustani asana of the dead man (recumbent dorsal position, mouth pointing upwards, body relaxed, arms along the sides, feet touching by the heels, the tips of the fingers open as a fan) I waited in a state of vigilant perception, alert to novelty...
The Three Mountains, 1972
The fourth is awakened consciousness, state of Turiya, really objective, illuminated, perfect clairvoyance, polyvision, etc., etc., etc.
The Three Mountains, 1972
Unfortunately, this prime matter, this psychic material does not take part in the routine activities of our erroneously called vigil state.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
The great Adepts of the Universal White Fraternity do not dream, they possess objective Consciousness. The possibility of dreaming for them has disappeared and one finds them in the superior worlds in an intensified vigil state, directing the current of countless centuries, governing the laws of nature, converted into Gods who are beyond good and evil.
The Fifth Gospel The Intimate Need to Not Project Excursion – Alameda Park, Mexico City
On some occasion we said that there are four levels of men, or four states of Consciousness, to be clearer. A first state of Consciousness is that of a person’s deep and unconscious sleep, of an Ego that left its body asleep in bed, but wanders in the molecular world in a “state of coma” –it is the inferior state–.
The Fifth Gospel The Rescue of our Inner Light
First: the total unconsciousness of the individual sleeping in the bed. The Ego wanders in the inner worlds as unconscious as the body it left behind.
The Fifth Gospel The Metaphysical Value of Knowing How to Listen
Second: the unconsciousness of the individual who has awakened and gotten out of his bed. He still has the same dreams he had when the body was in a passive state, only now the body is active for the dreams.
The Fifth Gospel The Metaphysical Value of Knowing How to Listen
Keep in mind that there are four basic states of Consciousness. The first one is of the unconscious individual whose body sleeps profoundly in bed. The Ego, thus, wanders around in the Superior Worlds, in the astral world in a state of coma, sleepwalking.
The Fifth Gospel Psychological Foundations of the False Personality Third Chamber – Mexico City
We are born in the third state of Consciousness and soon we fall into the second, in the misnamed “vigil state”, that is equal to falling –I repeat– from heaven to hell. It is in this hell of the second state of Consciousness where the “I’s” are born, where the psychic aggregates manifest themselves, where all the inhuman perverse elements that we have inside us, are strengthened. The second state of Consciousness is a true hell.

VIIIThe Rational Animal drives cars dreaming
The dreamer, who is the sleeper seen from the other side. He dreams while the body sleeps and goes on dreaming when it wakes; he eats thinking of business and drives thinking of something else; and the worst of the dreamers is the one who dreams that he is awake.
With the exercises of Gemini, we change the “pictorial” conscience of dream life, for a conscious and totally awake conscience.
Zodiacal Course, 1951
The disciple who is asleep in the internal worlds, will now awaken his conscience and will not dream anymore. He will exchange his “dreams” for conscious experiences. These exercises will produce those internal shocks which will awaken his conscience, and will exchange dreams for real and effective experiences within the internal worlds.
Zodiacal Course, 1951
If we are eating and thinking about business, it is clear that we are dreaming. If we are driving an automobile and we are thinking of our fiancée, it is logical that we are not awake, we are dreaming. If we are working and we are remembering our child's godfather or godmother, or our friend, or brother, etc, it is clear that we are dreaming.
Christmas Messages, 1952–66
Terrible is the effort and the vigilance needed from second to second, from instant to instant to not fall into illusions. One minute of unawareness is enough and the mind is already dreaming: recalling something, thinking of something different from the job or deed that we are living at the moment.
Christmas Messages, 1952–66
Therefore, it is indispensable for the dreamer to awake, it is urgent to awaken the consciousness. All the human beings travel in astral body during the hours of sleep, but they disgracefully live in the astral plane with the consciousness asleep. They are sleeping wanderers.
The Aquarian Message, 1960
Every authentic extrasensory or esoteric investigation departs from that perfect state of surveillance. It is necessary for the dreamer to awaken within the internal worlds before converting himself into a competent investigator in the superior worlds.
Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957
The symbols that the student saw while he was dreaming he now sees without dreaming, as before he was seeing them with a sleeping consciousness. Now he moves himself among them with an awakened consciousness even when his physical body is profoundly asleep.
Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957
Only those awakened clairvoyants, only those clairvoyants who al ready possess their Christic vehicles are worthy of true credit. They are not dreamers. They do not make mistakes. They are true illuminates. Such people are in fact true Masters of the White Lodge. The visions of this class of sublime man are not simple dreams. These are the Masters of Perfection. This kind of Master cannot dream any more. This class of Master can investigate the memories of nature and read in the sealed archives of creation all the history of the Earth and its races.
The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)
Ida rises from the base of the spinal column to the left of Sushumnã, and Pingala to the right. These positions are reversed in the woman. The cords end in the medulla oblongata. All this is symbolised by the Caduceus of Mercury, with its two spread wings. The two wings of the Caduceus of Mercury signify the power to travel in the astral body, the power to travel in the mental body, the power to travel in the causal, conscious and spiritual vehicles. The Fire gives those who follow the Path of the Razor’s Edge the power to leave the physical body at will. Kundalini has the power of awaken ing the consciousness of the human being. Within the Fire we remain completely awakened in the superior worlds. All those who have awakened in the superior worlds, live absolutely consciously outside the physical body during the hours of sleep. Whoever awak ens the consciousness can never again dream. They become in fact, and rightfully, absolutely conscious citizens of the superior worlds. They work with the White Lodge while their physical body sleeps. They are the collaborators of the Great White Universal Fraternity. We clarify; Ida and Pingala are not physical. A physician could not find them with a scalpel. Ida and Pingala are semi-etheric, semi-physical.
The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)
People not only dream when they sleep, but also in the so-called waking state. It is very rare to find a conscious human being, yet people firmly believe they already have an awakened consciousness.
The Buddha's Necklace, 1967
Oh, nobly-born, listen with full attention, without being distracted: There are six transitory states of Bardo, namely: the natural name of Bardo while in the womb; the Bardo of the dream state; the Bardo of ecstatic equilibrium, while in deep meditation; the Bardo of the moment of death; the of Reality; the Bardo of the inverse process of sangsaric existence These are the six.
The Buddha's Necklace, 1967
Any truly awakened person can verify for himself, through direct experience, the dreams of other people (and of all creatures); he can see the dreams of people as they walk down the streets, as they work in factories, as they govern people, etc. All truly awakened people can see, smell, touch, and taste all things in the superior worlds.
The Buddha's Necklace, 1967
The Rational Animal drives cars dreaming, he works in the factory, in the office, in the farm, etc., dreaming, he falls in love dreaming, he marries dreaming, rarely, very rarely in life is he awake; he lives in a world of dreams and firmly believes that he is awake. The Four Gospels demand awakening, but unfortunately, they do not say how to wake up.
Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967
Many times, you are walking on the street, absorbed in your own thoughts, identified with those thoughts, fascinated, dreaming beautifully; suddenly, a friend passes near you, greets you, you do not return the greeting because you do not see him, you are dreaming; the friend becomes angry, he assumes that you are a person without manners or that you are possibly angry; the friend is also going around dreaming; if he was awake, he would not make such conjectures to himself, he would immediately realize that you are walking around asleep.
Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Anger, Identification
Within each “I” (of the Legion of Satanic “I’s”) the Consciousness sleeps profoundly. The Consciousness dreams within each “I.”
The Solar Bodies, 1968
People of this present humanity are dreamers one hundred percent; as someone once unmistakably said: “Life is but a dream.”
The Solar Bodies, 1968
The Intellectual Beast labors and drives cars while in a state of slumber; he is born in a dream state and dies while in a dream state.
The Solar Bodies, 1968
“Where is the Master when you sleep without dreaming?” Kao Feng was unable to find the answer for this last question; thus, new inner sufferings afflicted the depth of his soul. Then the Master told him, “From now on, I do not want you to study Buddhism, nor Dharma, I do not want you to study anything neither ancient nor new, I only want you to eat when you are hungry and to lie down when you are tired. As soon as you wake up, make your mind alert and ask yourself who is the Master of this awakening and where does his body rest and where does his life lead?”
The Solar Bodies, 1968
The dreaming ones, the sleepy ones who suppose that they are awakened, not only harm themselves, but more over, they cause grave harms to their fellowmen.
Runic Magic, 1969
I had to pay for the ride… “How much do I owe you?” “Two pesos, Sir…” “Here, take it.” The driver took the money without remotely sensing anything, neither about me nor about the motive of my trip. What can a sleeper know? Could perhaps the poor chauffer know about my studies? What could I expect of him? He was just another dreamer driving a taxi… that is all.
My Return to Tibet, 1969
Then the aspirant, free of the limitations of the flesh, outside the physical body, will have discarded his old familiar environment and penetrated a universe ruled by different laws. The discipline of the dream state of Tantric Buddhists methodically leads us to the awakening of our Consciousness.
The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974
As long as the aspirant does not achieve the radical dissolution, not only of dreams, but of their psychological generators as well, the absolute awakening is impossible.
The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974
The holy gods of Anahuac are Perfect Men in the strictest sense of the word. They are absolutely awakened. Those beings eradicated even the possibility of dreams from their psyche.
The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974
If we were conscious, if we were to awaken from so many dreams and fantasies, how different life would be...
Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975
When one practices this exercise during the day, then it is repeated during one’s dreams and the result is that the consciousness awakens and experiences a lucid dream. One becomes aware that one is out from the physical body in the Astral world.
Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)
Undoubtedly, it is not so easy to eliminate subjective elements –there are a lot of them–. This elimination is processed in a didactic way, little by little, and as one eliminates such “elements”, the Consciousness becomes objectified, and when the elimination is absolute, the Consciousness is totally objectified, awakened. Then the possibility of dreaming is terminated, it is over.
The Fifth Gospel The Intimate Need to Not Project Excursion – Alameda Park, Mexico City
How could a dreamer be considered Enlightened? Obviously, the dreamer is nothing more than a dreamer, who knows nothing about the reality of things, about what is beyond the world of dreams.
The Fifth Gospel The Intimate Need to Not Project Excursion – Alameda Park, Mexico City
The dreams that the Ego has outside the physical body, in the internal worlds, in the supra-sensitive regions of Nature and the cosmos, are simply projections of the mind, because, after all, the Ego is the mind. It takes everything and projects its dreams, it lives in dreams. However, there are things that are not dreams. You may perceive, for example, revelations of the great Masters or receive some special enlightenment, but only on rare occasions. Normally, people live in a world of dreams, projecting their dreams and dreaming, unfortunately.
The Fifth Gospel The Intimate Need to Not Project Excursion – Alameda Park, Mexico City
Master: Well, one can also dream that one is awake. Many can dream that they are awake, but still they are not. Awakening is what is important, and not dreaming that you are awake, because we are asleep...! One dreams that one is awake, simply, when that kind of phenomena that we are talking about happens to the individual, because to the awakened individual, truly awakened, that kind of phenomena does not happen. The awakened person lives awake in an intensified wakefulness, during those moments in which the physical body lies in bed.
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Discipline for Awakening Interview – Mexico City – 1970
A second state of Consciousness is that of the dreamer who has returned to his physical body, and who believes that he is in a state of wakefulness. In this case, his dreams continue, it is just that his physical body is in a state of wakefulness. This second type of dreamer is more dangerous, because he can kill, he can steal, he can commit all kinds of crimes. On the other hand, in the first case, the dreamer, who is more infra-human, cannot do any of these things.
The Fifth Gospel The Rescue of our Inner Light
In the inferior psychism, there is frightful sense-lessness: people who dream and think that they are awake, and what is most serious is that they dream of themselves as awake, they dream believing that they are awake. Such dreamers of a negative – mediumistic– type, such deluded people project their daydreams onto people and see in people their own negative, incoherent and absurd daydreams. That is the harsh reality of the facts!
The Fifth Gospel Seriousness in the Esoteric Work Third Chamber – Mexico City
In some people, those flashes of Consciousness begin to be seen in a very insipid way. Such people say, for example, to themselves: “Well, this thing I’m seeing is interesting, it seems as though I am dreaming. Could it be that I’m asleep, could it be that I’m dreaming?” Naturally, such a psychic manifestation is an incipient beginning of awakened Consciousness. But later, as the percentage of Essence or Consciousness is liberated from those bottles which are called “I’s”, the Seminal Pearl develops, and then those people are not satisfied with just saying: “I’m dreaming” or “It seems like this is a dream.” Their Consciousness is even greater and they can exclaim: “I am outside of the physical body, I am in the astral, I am not dreaming!”
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Meaning of the Golden Embryo Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1971
Those symbols that he saw when he dreamt, when he tried to comprehend the go during meditation, now be sees them without dreaming; before be saw them with asleep consciousness, now he moves around among them with the consciousness of the vigil state even when his body is profoundly asleep.
The Revolution of the Dialectic
IXHumanity lives during sleep and after death in the suprasensible regions of the great Mother Nature
The sleep does not stop when the body does. The Ego carries its dreams out with it — the carpenter to his workshop, the tailor to his shop, the shopkeepers and the peddlers to the same trades — and the dead go on in the same state, never suspecting that they have died.
During the hours of sleep we see the souls of dressmakers, mechanics, shopkeepers, peddlers, etc., dedicated to the same work and daily occupations. Those souls function asleep, convinced and certain that they are in their bodies of flesh and bone. When someone tells them that they are outside of the body, they do not believe it and they mock the person who tells them.
Book of the Virgin of Carmel, 1952
Whoever wants to incarnate his soul must have an astral body, a mental body and a causal body. Humanity as yet does not have these vehicles. If we examine clairvoyantly the astral of any ordinary person we will see this astral as a ghost, cold and asleep. We really cannot give this astral ghost the name astral body. Whoever possesses an astral body lives awake in the internal worlds. People live asleep in the astral. When we invoke a disincarnated person we find them completely asleep. These astral ghosts speak of incoherent things and are full of cold and death.
Christmas Messages, 1952–66
People who live dreaming in the physical world also live dreaming in the internal worlds during those hours in which the physical body is sleeping. One needs to cease dreaming in the internal worlds. When we stop dreaming in the physical Supreme Christmas Message 1964-1965: “Technique for the Dissolution of the Ego” world, we awaken here and now, and that awakening appears in the internal worlds.
Christmas Messages, 1952–66
The brothers of the different spiritualist schools live in the astral with an asleep consciousness. When a brother enters the path, the tenebrous ones of the lunar path customarily attack him during his dreams. The brothers of the shadow take up the figure of the guru to lead disciples astray. We should now comprehend that it is a crime not to teach disciples the practical use and handling of the astral body. It is necessary for disciples to awaken consciousness during sleep in order for them to be able to defend themselves from tenebrous attacks.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956
All human beings live within the supra-sensible worlds with the consciousness asleep. Meditation provokes the solemn awakening of the consciousness.
The Aquarian Message, 1960
This awakening is like lightning in the night. This awakening of the consciousness occurs during the normal sleep of our physical body. We move ourselves in our internal vehicles when this body sleeps.
The Aquarian Message, 1960
Only those who have achieved the awakening in the superior worlds possess conscious clairvoyance. During the normal hours of sleep, all human beings wrapped in their Astral Bodies live in the suprasensible worlds.
Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957
Humanity lives during sleep and after death in the suprasensible regions of the great Mother Nature. Unfortunately, people act with their consciousness asleep while in the suprasensible worlds.
Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957
During the hours of sleep, every human travels in the Astral, floats out of the Physical Body. Unfortunately, human beings wander during sleep, in the Internal Worlds with their conscience absolutely asleep also. Usually, they dedicate themselves to the same tasks of daily life. If someone was to awaken consciousness when dedicated to nocturnal tasks, he or she will have the opportunity of contemplating with their astral eyes all the marvels of the Superior Worlds, and will be able to dedicate himself or herself to the study of the Great Mysteries of Life and Death.
Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959
One day Juan met a man in his Astral Body, who traveled by foot on a highway! This subject was a loader and carried a huge load, which weighed too much, on his back. When Juan saw him, he was able to perceive details: said subject was a deceased man! He had disembodied some time ago! Now, in the Astral Body, he wandered on the highway. That man was firmly convinced that he was in the Physical Body. He ignored that data about his death! He walked with an asleep conscience. The load he carried on his robust shoulders was nothing else but a Mental Image created by himself. That poor man had been a loader and still, after his death, continued in his trade of transporting loads. Juan wanted to help him awaken consciousness and told him: “Friend, become aware of your situation. Remember that you are already dead; you don’t even have a Physical Body.”
Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959
While in the internal worlds, the souls occupy themselves in the same daily chores that they perform on Earth during the vigil state; they buy, sell, work in their office, in the shop, in the factory, in the fields, etc. The incarnated and disincarnated souls live together during the sleepy state. Everything is the same in the internal worlds: the sun, the clouds, the cities, all things. It is enough to assist a spiritist’s (medium’s, channeler’s) session to become aware of the fact that the dead do not accept that they are dead and to comprehend why the souls of the living love, suffer, fight and work during the sleepy state. We must learn to preserve the lucidity of the consciousness during the state of slumber.
Aztec Christic Magic, 1973
After the death of the physical body of a true human being (one who has the soul and Spirit incarnated), he lives completely awakened in his astral body; he enjoys the internal worlds of consciousness; he enjoys objective perception.
Aztec Christic Magic, 1973
On the other hand, those who still have not dissolved the “I” and who have neither incarnated the soul nor the Spirit, live within the internal worlds with their consciousness asleep; they only have a subjective consciousness and subjective perception.
Aztec Christic Magic, 1973 also in Identification
The ordinary disincarnate project their own desires and aspirations into the molecular atmosphere, and dream of them, living in perfect happiness. Adepts do not dream because they have awakened Consciousness and live in this region dedicated to work, in accordance with the great Cosmic Laws, in the laboratory of Nature.
The Book of the Dead, 1965 also in Desire and Will
The True Man, he who has incarnated his Soul and his Spirit, lives com pletely awake after death in his Astral Body. He takes pleasure in the internal worlds of Consciousness and Objective Perception.
Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978
People who live dreaming in the physical world, also live dreaming in the internal worlds, during those hours in which the physical body is sleeping.
Dissolving the I, 1964
In the hours of rest, when the physical body is sleeping in the bed, the “Ego” travels outside the physical body. The “Ego” often travels to very distant places outside the physical body. The “Ego” is living a dream. Really the “Ego” brings its dreams to the suprasensible worlds. In the internal worlds carpenters are in their workshops dreaming about all that which they do in the physical world; the blacksmith in his foundry; the policeman keeping watch over the streets; the tailor in his tailor’s shop; the drunkard in the bar, etc.,—they are all dreaming. They all bring their dreams to the suprasensible worlds.
Esoteric Course of Kabbalah
But I did see that sleepwalker’s state of his eyes, that is how the deceased are: after death they walk around like that, like sleepwalkers, because it never occurred to them during their lifetime to work on themselves, so they never awakened the Consciousness. They were always one hundred percent mechanical creatures, and after death they continue to be sleepwalkers, they are sleepwalkers, unconscious. That is very sad.
The Fifth Gospel Lunar Psychism and Solar Psychism Second Chamber – Mexico City – 1976
IIt is necessary to awaken, and the Holy Scriptures insist on the need to awaken
The call, and the complaint that goes with it: the four Gospels demand the awakening and do not say how it is done. This is the sentence he repeats in more books than any other in this work, and the answer he gives to it is the rest of the book.
The Buddhi, that is to say the spiritual soul of every human being, is a spark of the soul of the world, the intracosmic soul. Our individual consciousness should keep awakening in ever more elevated planes of Cosmic Consiousness until at last awakening in the Absolute Consiousness; this is in order to make itself independent of the Great Soul and be born in the Absolute as a Paramartha-satya. The Absolute is the Great Reality. It is Life free in its movement.
Christmas Messages, 1952–66
The students of spiritualist schools are parrots who repeat what they read, that is all. Therefore, the important thing is the awakening of consciousness. The intellect is a function of the animal soul.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956
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.
The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)
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 Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Identification
It is necessary to stop being robots, to awaken consciousness, and to discover for ourselves what is this very terrible struggle of passing exams, studying, living at a certain place just to study everyday and spend the whole year having nervous breakdowns, worrying, being distressed, practicing sports, quarreling with fellow students, etc.
Fundamental Education, 1970
We need to awaken consciousness. We need to convert the subconscious into consciousness. We need to have one hundred percent consciousness.
Fundamental Education, 1970
The human being is rarely truly awake in life, and when he does awaken for a brief moment, as in times of great fear, he momentarily sees himself in a complete way.
Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Fear
Fundamental education has the aim of awakening consciousness. Ten or fifteen years of study in school, college, and university, are useless if upon leaving the classroom we are sleeping automatons.
Fundamental Education, 1970
Revolutionary psychology has methods, scientific procedures to awaken consciousness.
Fundamental Education, 1970
If we want to awaken consciousness we need to start by examining, studying and then eliminating all those obstacles that appear on the path. In this book we have taught the way to the awakening of consciousness which begins right from the school desk.
Fundamental Education, 1970
The task of the whole universe and of all beings, from the gigantic sun down to the insignificant cell, is to awaken consciousness. The Ors Solar System will become increasingly radiant as each of its worlds, each person, and each living cell becomes more conscious.

A very careful analysis upon this matter of the Seven Magnetic Centers of the Dorsal Spine takes us to the logical conclusion that there are three that are particularly the most important: the Muladhara at the base of the Dorsal Spine, coccygeal bone; the Sahasrara, the cervical lotus of one thousand petals; and the Manipura, the umbilical lotus. It is urgent to eliminate from our perceptions all of the Subjective Elements. It is indispensable to perceive in a Spatial and Self-Cognizant manner everything that we see and imagine. It is indispensable to awaken the Consciousness.
The Solar Bodies, 1968 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition
In other times, the humble Psalmist always paved the way for the Holy Cup, the Cup of Hermes, by dancing and jumping, and in that moment, he was nothing more than a King This also reminds us of the Whirling Dervishes of Mohammedan Esotericism The objective of all of these dances is to awaken the Consciousness.
The Solar Bodies, 1968
Really, we need to awaken consciousness with maximum accelerated urgency if what we want is to know ourselves in depth. Only the Self-conscious human being can penetrate into the parallel universes by will.
Runic Magic, 1969
All the Gnostic Brethren would like to do the same thing, to talk face to face with the Elemental Sphinx of Nature, to have a dialogue with the Devas, to walk with Ehecati. But, first of all, it is necessary to awaken the consciousness, to open the door, to call with persistency, to set in motion our Will-Power.
Runic Magic, 1969 also in Elemental Magic
The four Gospels insist in the necessity of awakening, but disgracefully, people suppose that they are awakened.
Runic Magic, 1969
So on reaching Arcanum 18 we find ourselves before the dilemma of Being or not Being. No-one can Self-Realise without the practice of Maithuna. One must awaken consciousness because without it one abandons the Path, since one is not serious, Previously, the secret of the Arcanum A.Z.F. was not given to anyone who had not awakened consciousness in order that they should not abandon the Path.
Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978
The Four Gospels insist upon the necessity of Awakening Consciousness, but as they are written in code, no one understands.
My Return to Tibet, 1969
Do you want to stop being machines? All right, I congratulate you; however, you must start by awakening.
My Return to Tibet, 1969
It is unquestionable that Parabrahman, the Universal Spirit of Life transcends all of that which is called Consciousness. Therefore, it is obvious that we may call it ‘Unconsciousness’. Within this strictly human theme, we can and must even emphasise the idea that before transcending the ‘Consciousness’, we first need to awaken it.
My Return to Tibet, 1969
The necessity of attaining the awakening of the Consciousness is indisputable, if sincerely what we want is the illumination.
My Return to Tibet, 1969
For the awakened one, forbearing patience is the highest austerity. Nirvana is supreme, says the Buddha. He, verily, is not an anchorite who harms another. Nor is he an ascetic who oppresses others.
Parsifal Unveiled, 1970
Certainly and in the name of truth, we shall say with great honesty that only by awakening consciousness can we see the narrow, strait and difficult path, that leads to light How could those who sleep, see the path? Could the mind perhaps discover the truth? It is written in words of gold in the great book of universal life that the mind cannot recognize what it has never known.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
It is our duty to awaken consciousness to see the path that will lead us with absolute precision towards the final liberation.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
We have to awaken, friends, and learn to live alert from moment to moment, from instant to instant.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
We truly need to arrive at happiness. We will not be able to obtain such success save we should awaken the consciousness, and we will never awaken the consciousness if we continue with the way of thinking which we presently have.
For the Few, 1980
Nevertheless, the opening of the interior mind and the advent of Sophia is possible only by awakening the Consciousness.
Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983
We can make the great jump only by awakening and developing the Consciousness. It is necessary for the Boddhisitta, which means the auric embryo, the awakened Consciousness, to fall into the Illuminated Void.
Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983
Verily, verily I say unto you that we open the Interior Mind only by awakening the Consciousness.
Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983
When the Buddhata awakens, we remain illuminated. We need to awaken the Buddhata, the Consciousness.
Dissolving the I, 1964
All the religions of the world speak of the “profound inner Enlightenment”. Buddhists in Asia, for example, aspire to Enlightenment, they want Enlightenment. However, this is not possible until the awakening of Consciousness is achieved. An awakened Consciousness is an enlightened Consciousness, a revolutionary Consciousness, rebellious, grandiose, sublime, and terribly divine.
The Fifth Gospel Analysis of the Human Psyche Public Lecture – 1977
Obviously, by analyzing all this thoroughly, we see the need to awaken, because only by awakening, we can know the truth. Jesus the Christ said: “Know the truth and it will make you free.”
The Fifth Gospel Magic and Experimental Psychology Public Lecture – 1976
Therefore, we need to be awakened. A sleeper, how will he know about life in the Superior Worlds? What is there beyond the grave, does the sleeper know? What exists before coming into the world, does the sleeper know anything? Well, nothing at all! Right?
The Fifth Gospel Magic and Experimental Psychology Public Lecture – 1976
Above all, we should be interested in awakening, because as long as we continue asleep as we are, what will we be able to know about the mysteries of life and death? What will we be able to know about the real, about the truth? For one to be able to get to know the mysteries of life and death thoroughly, it is indispensably necessary to awaken. It is possible to awaken if one sets out to do it; but it is not possible to awaken if the Consciousness continues to be bottled up among all those ”I’s”.
The Fifth Gospel The Exercise of SELF-KNOWLEDGE
Continuing with these disquisitions, I say: it is necessary to awaken! First of all, we have to accept the “doctrine of the many”.
The Fifth Gospel The Precariousness of the Human Psyche lst International Meeting of Hermetic Culture – Guadalajara. Jalisco, Mexico – October 28. 1975
But it is necessary to awaken. The four Gospels insist on the need to awaken, but we continue asleep. We do not know that we are asleep. If people knew that they have the Consciousness asleep, they would initiate the awakening.
The Fifth Gospel The Organization of our Inner World Public Lecture – 1975 also in Identification
With all of this, what do we want to know? Well, to awaken the Consciousness! Right? This is the truth, this is what we want! To awaken!
The Fifth Gospel Psychoemotional Metamorphosis of Man Third Chamber – Mexico City – July 27, 1977
“Nephesh” is the Human Soul or Causal Soul, from where, precisely, the Essence that each one has in his interior is derived. This Essence, we have to awaken it; it is the part of the Consciousness that we have within. This Essence, we have to activate it. Unfortunately, it is asleep, it is inside the inhuman psychic aggregates that we carry within us.
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Psychology of False Feelings Third Chamber – Mexico City – May 4. 1977
So, we need to awaken, right? When one awakens, he understands what he is; he makes an inventory of what he has, of what he has in excess and of what he lacks. Many faculties that one thinks one has, he does not have, and many that one does not know one has, he actually has. But one can only get to make that inventory of oneself when he is awakened. Because how can one who is asleep make an inventory of himself? What does the asleep one know about himself? Therefore, awakening is fundamental, vital. But in order to awaken, we have to know how to live.
The Fifth Gospel Psychic Associations that Lead to Awakening Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975
Thus, brothers, it is necessary to awaken if one wants to perceive the great realities of life. But it is only possible to awaken by knowing how to live.
The Fifth Gospel Pedagogy of Knowing How to Live Third Chamber Mexico City – 1974
It is necessary to awaken, and the Holy Scriptures insist on the need to awaken. Unfortunately, they do not say how, they do not give the key, they do not give the explanation. It is necessary to explain and that is what we are doing here precisely: teaching the path of awakening.
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Discipline for Awakening Interview – Mexico City – 1970
How could he do it, how could he cause harm? When the body is passive to its dreams, the person cannot cause harm to anyone in the physical world. But when the body is active for the dreams, the person can do a lot of damage in the physical world. That is why the Holy Scriptures insist on the “need to awaken”.
The Fifth Gospel The Rescue of our Inner Light
People, so as to be able to learn to listen, must first of all awaken the Consciousness. How could someone who has his Consciousness asleep listen psychologically?
The Fifth Gospel The Transvalorization of the Esoteric Work Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975 also in Identification
The four Gospels insist on the necessity of awakening. If we were awake, we could see, hear, touch and feel the great realities of the superior worlds. If we were awake, life for us would be totally different: we would not be victims of circumstances, we could handle them at will. But we are truly not awake, we are profoundly asleep; we sleep deeply, we ignore that we ignore.
The Fifth Gospel The Verticality of Existence First Gnostic Youth Encounter – Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico – July 10. 1975
The time has come for us to be concerned about awakening. When we awaken, we will be able to perfectly perceive that which is the truth, that which is not of time, that which is beyond body, affections and mind. When one experiences what is real, he also experiences an element that transforms radically. We need to experience that element for the purpose of working intensely upon ourselves.
The Fifth Gospel The Verticality of Existence First Gnostic Youth Encounter – Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico – July 10. 1975
First of all, it becomes necessary to dissolve those vain personalities that we carry inside us, precisely with the objective of awakening Consciousness.
The Fifth Gospel The Verticality of Existence First Gnostic Youth Encounter – Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico – July 10. 1975
We have to learn to listen. In order to learn to listen, we have to awaken consciousness. In order to learn to listen we have to know how to be present. The one who listens always escapes via his psychological country and city.
The Revolution of the Dialectic
We are delivering through this Work all the systems which are needed to awaken consciousness, and when you awaken, you will be able to investigate and verify for yourselves what I affirm in an emphatic manner. But it is necessary to awaken in order to touch, see, hear, feel and not be a victim of the theories of a Haeckel, Darwin, Huxley and his followers.
The Revolution of the Dialectic
IIIConsciousness cannot awaken as long as it continues bottled up
The price, and it is the one thing that separates his teaching from every other on this subject. The consciousness cannot awaken while it is shut in the ego, so the awakening is not a technique added to a life but the death of the I — and every I disintegrated returns its own percentage of consciousness, little by little, until the whole of it is awake.
The pluralised ‘I’ is the sub-consciousness. When we dissolve the ‘I’ the subconscious is transformed into consciousness. We need to convert the sub-consciousness into consciousness and this is only possible by achieving the annihilation of the ‘I’. Continuous awakened consciousness is acquired when our consciousness occupies the place of the sub-consciousness.
Christmas Messages, 1952–66
If we want to stop being machines, if we want to awaken consciousness, if we want to have true conscious willpower, individuality, the capacity to do, then it is urgent to start by knowing ourselves and to then dissolve the psychological ego.
Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Desire and Will
To eliminate the vain and perishable aggregates is something cardinal and definitive in order to awaken the consciousness.
Runic Magic, 1969
In order to awaken consciousness it is vital to eliminate those ‘I’s, those entities, those aggregates which personify our defects. Thus, we attain the Atman-Vidya, the complete Illumination.
Runic Magic, 1969
When Set is disintegrated totally then the Consciousness, the Soul, is freed, awakens completely. Then there is interior illumination. Truly, the Resurrection of the Soul is only possible through cosmic Initia tion. Human beings are dead and are only able to revive by means of Initiation. Let us remember the words of Jesus, the Great Kabir: “...and let the dead bury their dead” (Matthew 8. 22).
Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978
The first thing one must do in order to die is to dissolve the “I”, that which is a mass of demons, and whic h the Egyptians call the Red Demons of Set. This must be done in order to awaken consciousness and to receive direct knowledge. The Red Demons of Set are all the demons which we have; they are Satan. These must die. Horns must defeat those demons.
Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978
The most difficult thing is the destruction of the lunar bodies, he who dissolves the ego has very fertile ground. So, the man or woman who is already old must make use of their time in order to dissolve the ego, awaken consciousness, attain illumination; whilst the man or woman who is married must work in the Ninth Sphere.
Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978
When Mephistopheles (the ego) is reduced to ashes, then, the consciousness is liberated and awakens.
My Return to Tibet, 1969
Such a superlative awakening, without previously having passed through the terrible Buddhist annihilation would be impossible.
My Return to Tibet, 1969
We transform the Subconsciousness into Consciousness with the annihilation of the ego. However, afterwards, we must destroy the shackles which connect us to the Consciousness. The Illuminator Void is the ‘Unconsciousness Itself (here we are utilising the term Unconsciousness in the sense of something that is far beyond the Consciousness).
My Return to Tibet, 1969
ATMAVIDYA: This is a mysterious word, a Sanskrit term filled with a deep significance. This must be translated as awakened consciousness freed from the Papapurusha, by means of the total annihilation of the latter one.
Parsifal Unveiled, 1970
Those who are ever vigilant, who discipline themselves day and night, who are wholly intent on Nirvana, will succeed by destroying their own passions.
Parsifal Unveiled, 1970
This matter about destroying, discarding or eliminating psychological defects is radical in order to awaken consciousness.
Parsifal Unveiled, 1970
I understood everything with unlimited happiness. It is only by eliminating with the spear the animal-like creatures which we all have within and in which the Consciousness sleeps, that illumination comes.
The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971
That return, that going back to the point of original departure, is not possible without first having died within oneself. The Essence, the Consciousness is unfortunately bottled up amongst all those aggregate psyches that, as a sinister whole constitute the EGO. Only by annihilating such twisted, dark aggregates can the Essence awaken to a state of primeval innocence.
The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971
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 Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971
As consciousness awakens, comprehension becomes clearer each time, until it reaches its final stage. Then the defect would be radically annihilated.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
What there is beyond the sepulcher is something that only awake men know, those who have dissolved the ego, the truly auto-conscious people.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
It is plain and evident that on freeing the essence, upon its liberation, it awakens radically.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
We need to learn to voluntarily direct all the functionalisms of our psyche; it is not good that we continue converted into slaves; we should become masters and lords of ourselves. As the undesirable elements are being eliminated, consciousness is awakening.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
This triple set of attention is then a complete exercise to self discover ourselves and to awaken consciousness.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
When the ego has been radically annihilated consciousness becomes totally awakened; in these circumstances we can descend at will into the infernal worlds, with the purpose of seeing, hearing, touching and palpating the crude reality of such submerged regions. It is only possible to carry out these types of investigations in a satisfactory manner with an absolutely awake consciousness because these investigations are so advanced.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
As the ego is dissolved, consciousness will be awakening more and more and this we will be able to evince through the exercise of the division of attention in three parts. Once the ego is absolutely dissolved, the exercise taught here will allow us to use consciousness in a voluntary manner for the investigation of the great realities. Question: Master, how can the difference between what is real and what is unreal, what is illusory from what is true, the objective from the subjective, be made accessible to the comprehension of the profane?
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
We have explained to satiation that only through the radical annihilation of the inhumane elements that we carry within, can we liberate the essence, awaken it.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
In the same way as life represents a gradual and ceaseless process of externalisation and extraversion, the death of the ego is a process of gradual introversion. In the latter, the individual Consciousness, the pure Essence slowly divests itself of its useless clothing — the same as Ishtar in her symbolic descent — and thus, naked, it awakens to the Great Reality of free life in motion.
The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974
When the ‘I’ is dissolved, the Essence, the Consciousness, awakens, acquires illumination and frees itself. Then, as a consequence, self-knowledge or Auto-Gnosis is acquired.
The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974
Gnostics can awaken to the real state of Illumination only through the understanding and elimination of dreams.
The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974
Therefore, the awakening of Consciousness is only possible by dissolving the “I,” by dying in oneself, here and now.
Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975
So, it is impossible to awaken without first having died within ourselves.
Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975
Whoever may want to awake consciousness, must eliminate from within all the undesirable elements which constitute the Ego, the "I", the Myself, within which the essence is bottled.
The Great Rebellion, 1975
The awake consciousness is not the mind, neither is it memory nor anything similar. Only the liberated consciousness is capable of directly experiencing for itself the reality of life free in its motion.
The Great Rebellion, 1975
Only by radically and definitively dissolving the EGO, is it possible to awake consciousness and to really open the inner mind.
The Great Rebellion, 1975
But I say to you, we must begin by changing our way of thinking in order to work correctly upon ourselves, truly disintegrating the undesirable elements that we carry within. Thus we can attain the awakening of the consciousness, and the development of the Bodhichitta. It is necessary to know how to meditate, to comprehend what meditation is. The aim of meditation is very simple. What do we want to attain through meditation? Tranquility. What we are saying may seem very superfluous. You could raise the objection to me that we could calm ourselves with a bottle of wine. That is clear. You could raise the objection to me that we could calm ourselves listening to a symphony of Beethoven. But truly, to attain tranquility is the most difficult thing you could imagine.
For the Few, 1980
As one continues to disintegrate all those inhuman psychic aggregates that we carry in our interior, the consciousness continues to awaken.
For the Few, 1980
The Consciousness is asleep among the multitudes.
Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983
The awakening occurs only by annihilating the ego.
Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983
Those who annihilate the Red Demons of Seth will liberate their Consciousness. They will radically awaken it.
Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983
It is impossible to awaken if we have not previously passed through the Buddhist Annihilation.
Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983
Awakening the Consciousness is fundamental when one wants to see, hear, touch and feel the great realities of the Superior Worlds. But how could we awaken if the Ego has not been dissolved first? How could one achieve true liberation if the Consciousness has to continue bottled up within the various inhuman elements that are carried inside oneself?
The Fifth Gospel Essence of the Gnostic Pedagogy Lecture given to the brothers of El Salvador – Mexico City – 1975
It is a nice anecdote about the writer called Vargas Vila. In any case, I do want to tell all of you that it is possible to awaken the Consciousness. I am going to tell you how: by disintegrating one’s own psychological defects.
The Fifth Gospel Chaotic Consciousness and Intelligent Consciousness Public Lecture – Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico
When one has understood that he has, for example, the defect of anger, then what does he do? He has no choice but to concentrate on his Divine Mother Kundalini, beg her, ask her to eliminate, disintegrate that defect, and she will disintegrate it. And the Consciousness, bottled up within it, will be released. And if one disintegrates all the defects, the Consciousness remains completely awake. And being perfectly awake, you can remember your previous lives, you can penetrate the mysteries, see what existed a million years ago, etc. But asleep, you cannot.
The Fifth Gospel Chaotic Consciousness and Intelligent Consciousness Public Lecture – Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico also in Anger
Unfortunately, –I say– the psyche is abnormal, but when we disintegrate the Ego, the Consciousness awakens and the psyche becomes normal. Then and only then is when we come to realize that we were in an asylum, or that we are in an asylum; not before, it is not possible. It is worth working for awakening the Consciousness, this is indispensable.
The Fifth Gospel Chaotic Consciousness and Intelligent Consciousness Public Lecture – Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico
Many are those who care about magic powers. I tell you that the awakened Essence possesses beautiful faculties within itself. What we need is to develop the Essence; and one cannot develop it unless he works upon himself. When we are truly concerned with eliminating our psychological defects: anger, greed, lust, envy, pride, laziness, gluttony, etc. from our inner nature, the Essence naturally begins to develop wonderfully. Normally, the Essence is bottled up, as I have said so many times, among those multiple inhuman elements that we carry within us –I am referring to the psychological defects–. As we disintegrate or pulverize such elements, the Essence will unravel, unbottle, emancipate, and when we have achieved the total annihilation of all the undesirable elements that we carry within us, then the Essence will be free in an absolute form, completely awake, with a precious spontaneity in this world of manifestation.
The Fifth Gospel The Objective Knowledge of the Essence Lecture given to Gnostic students – 1976
It is desirable that we disintegrate the “I’s” so that the Essence remains free. Upon coming back, upon returning, upon reincorporating in a new vehicle, we would then come fully awake and we would firmly follow the Path of the Razor’s Edge, we would be different. Unfortunately, upon reincorporation, sooner or later, the “I’s” begin to manifest themselves, and when they actually begin to enter the body, to express themselves through us, obviously, we lose that beauty of the newborn. It is for this reason the Christ said: “Unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the Kingdom of Heaven.”
The Fifth Gospel The Objective Knowledge of the Essence Lecture given to Gnostic students – 1976
And where are we going to discover them? Only in the terrain of practical life does self-discovery become possible. Any street scene is enough for us to know how many “I’s” came into action. For any “I” that comes into action, there is a need to work on it in order to comprehend it and disintegrate it. Only on this path is it possible to liberate the Consciousness; only on this path is it possible to awaken.
The Fifth Gospel The Exercise of SELF-KNOWLEDGE
Master: Well, if one disintegrates all those psychic aggregates that personify one’s errors, he awakens the Consciousness, and at the hour of disincarnating, he does it with full Consciousness, given that he awakened it during his lifetime. After death, people are in the supra-sensitive worlds with the Consciousness asleep because, during their lifetime, they never worried about awakening the Consciousness. Any other question?
The Fifth Gospel The Exercise of SELF-KNOWLEDGE
When we accept the doctrine of the many, it is possible for us to change. When we accept the doctrine of the many, we are really determined to eliminate those “many” that live inside us in order to liberate the Consciousness and radically awaken. First of all, it is necessary to accept the doctrine of the many.
The Fifth Gospel The Precariousness of the Human Psyche lst International Meeting of Hermetic Culture – Guadalajara. Jalisco, Mexico – October 28. 1975
So, this is the obvious path to follow for the disintegration of the “I’s”. As within each of them, there is a percentage of Consciousness, as we are disintegrating them, the Consciousness bottled up there will liberate itself. And when the totality of the “I’s” has been disintegrated, when the sinful Adam can raise his sword high to shout “Long live liberation!” –as it was represented here, tonight, on stage– then the Consciousness, in its totality, will also be liberated, awakened.
The Fifth Gospel The Precariousness of the Human Psyche lst International Meeting of Hermetic Culture – Guadalajara. Jalisco, Mexico – October 28. 1975
“Know the truth and it will make you free”, said the Christ. Disintegrate the “I’s”, reduce them to cosmic dust and the Consciousness will remain free, awaken.
The Fifth Gospel The Precariousness of the Human Psyche lst International Meeting of Hermetic Culture – Guadalajara. Jalisco, Mexico – October 28. 1975
So, this multiplicity of the “I’s” is a tremendous reality. Unbottling the Consciousness is fundamental. But that cannot happen if we do not annihilate the bottles which are the “I’s”. When one awakens, the mysteries of life and death become clear; it is then when one really knows the origin of one’s own existence.
The Fifth Gospel The Organization of our Inner World Public Lecture – 1975
Nowadays, we are ignorant, poor, we know nothing. It is not possible to know as long as the Essence is not unbottled; it is not possible to know something while the Consciousness does not awaken; it is not possible to awaken or un-bottle oneself if the Ego, the “I”, the Myself, the Oneself is not destroyed.
The Fifth Gospel The Wonders of Awakened Consciousness Public Lecture – 1975
If we triturate any of those “I’s”, we liberate a certain percentage of Consciousness, and if we disintegrate, one hundred percent, the totality of all the “I’s” which we carry inside ourselves, the Consciousness will become completely awake.
The Fifth Gospel The Problem of Psychological Multiplicity
What is vital, I think, my dear brothers of Zulia, is that you all concern yourselves with the awakening of the Consciousness, and you will not achieve it if you don’t annihilate all those persons who live within each one of you.
The Fifth Gospel The Problem of Psychological Multiplicity
If we manage to disintegrate the “I’s” in their totality, undoubtedly, the Consciousness in its totality will awaken, and that is exactly what is needed in order to be able to know, to experience, to feel the truth.
The Fifth Gospel The Problem of Psychological Multiplicity
It is not superfluous to tell you, in the name of truth, that we, each one of us here, are always assigned one hundred and eight existences. If during those one hundred and eight lives we do not dissolve the “I”, if during those one hundred and eight existences we do not awaken, then we are no longer given a physical body and, subsequently, we enter the submerged involution of the Infernal Worlds.
The Fifth Gospel The Reality and Fantasy of our Psychology Public Lecture – 1976
Each time that we eliminate a psychological defect, we liberate the Essence, the Consciousness. On this path, on this track, one reaches complete awakening. When the animal Ego has been absolutely reduced to dust, the Consciousness has reached a one-hundred-percent awakening.
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Rebellion Against Inner Blindness
Awakening is necessary, it is necessary for each of the brothers to become conscious of themselves. When someone becomes conscious of himself, he also becomes conscious of others and of the universe in general. So, dissolving the Ego is fundamental; dissolving the Ego is the base, dissolving the Ego is the indispensable.
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Rebellion Against Inner Blindness
But for the Essence to be able to travel, it must slowly disintegrate all those psychic aggregates in which the Consciousness is bottled up. When all the aggregates are disintegrated, when the Consciousness is liberated from everything, it will awaken. And once awakened –as a truly celestial Man–, it will initiate its return from the personality to the house of the Father, the world of the Spirit.
The Fifth Gospel The Return of the Prodigal Son Lecture in continuation of “Clarifications of the Pranayama and the Tibetan rites” – December 1974
So, the journey is indispensable in order to reach the stars, to return to the house of the Father who has always smiled upon us. But the awakening of the Consciousness is necessary. The Consciousness could not awaken to initiate its journey, if the Ego is not disintegrated. We have to turn it into dust. Only like this, does the free, sovereign, awakened Consciousness, master of itself, begin its journey back to the house of the Father. That is the meaning of the parable of the prodigal son. And it is very important to comprehend this parable.
The Fifth Gospel The Return of the Prodigal Son Lecture in continuation of “Clarifications of the Pranayama and the Tibetan rites” – December 1974
Through this path one arrives at the end: increasing the Consciousness more and more, and as one increases the Consciousness, one “kills” karma, one “kills”. Let us give an example, if someone becomes conscious of the pain that a poorly done business deal caused him, he discovers that the “I” of selfishness was active. So he disintegrates it and “kills” karma; or discovers that the “I” of ambition was active, he “kills” karma upon disintegrating it. And if people took advantage of even the smallest pain in their lives to sacrifice it, at the time of death, they would disincarnate without karma, with a completely lucid, awakened Consciousness, and without karma.
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Consequences of the Immolation of Pain Lecture – Interview – Mexico City – 1976 also in Entropy and Sacrifice
If we want to reach authentic enlightenment, it is necessary and urgent to transform the sub-conscious into conscious. Undoubtedly, such a transformation is only possible by annihilating the subconscious. But the subconscious is the Ego; then we must annihilate the Ego, the “I”, the Myself, the Oneself. This is how the subconscious is transformed into conscious so that the objective, real and true Consciousness remains in its place. In other words, I want to say that, as long as there is any subjective element within ourselves, however insignificant it may be, the possibility of dreaming continues. But when every subjective, subconscious element ends, when there is no longer any aggregate or subconscious element left in our psyche, then the result is objective Consciousness, authentic, true Enlightenment.
The Fifth Gospel The Intimate Need to Not Project Excursion – Alameda Park, Mexico City
It is therefore indispensable to understand this thoroughly, and for everyone to be able to draw an exact summary, I would like to say the following: the subconscious is the very Ego; while annihilating the Ego, the Consciousness awakens. The subconscious elements are infra-human and each one of us carries them within. Destroy yourself and all possibility of dreaming will end. Dreams are projections of the Ego and, therefore, they are not useful.
The Fifth Gospel The Intimate Need to Not Project Excursion – Alameda Park, Mexico City
It is necessary to disintegrate the Ego and to awaken the Consciousness so that the Monad, Atman-Buddhi, the Ruach-Elohim –who according to Moses tilled the waters in the beginning of the world–, the Sun King returns naturally to express himself within us, comes to manifestation, enters our human person. Only he can do. People believe that they do and they do nothing; they act in accordance with the Law of Recurrence, they are programmed machines, and that is all.
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Psychology of False Feelings Third Chamber – Mexico City – May 4. 1977
Through the Divine Cosmic Mother, we can eliminate all our psychological defects. As the Consciousness is bottled up among the defects, once these are eliminated, the Consciousness will awaken radically, and then we will be able to see, hear, touch and feel the great realities of the Superior Worlds.
The Fifth Gospel The False World of Appearances Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976
Therefore, when one manages to eliminate the “I”, to disintegrate all the inhuman elements that one carries within, he remains, then indeed, radically awakened, one hundred percent awakened; that is obvious.
The Fifth Gospel Psychic Associations that Lead to Awakening Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975
So as the Ego is being reduced to ashes, the Consciousness awakens. This awakening is never immediate, it is felt in a gradual way.
The Fifth Gospel Pedagogy of Knowing How to Live Third Chamber Mexico City – 1974
How to achieve this awakening? Obviously, we already know that the foundation is in the dissolution of the Ego, that is unquestionable, and that is a matter that you do not ignore. But, of course, we have to help ourselves with different methods, procedures. Everything that contributes to the awakening is useful.
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Discipline for Awakening Interview – Mexico City – 1970
There are things, for example, in practical life that are correct and, however, within the vertical terrain of existence, they are not so correct. Whoever sets out to work on himself, unquestionably, has more laws, he is subjected to other laws. But they are not laws that are prejudicial to him, on the contrary: they are laws that benefit him and that in the long run allow his liberation. Eliminating from our intimate nature the undesirable psychological elements is urgent, since only in that way is true awakening achieved, which is the objective of all our esoteric works.
The Fifth Gospel Clarifications About the Psychological Work
But the Consciousness cannot awaken as long as it continues to be bottled up within the psychic aggregates which together constitute the Myself, the “I”, the Ego. We need to go through Buddhist Annihilation, here and now; we need to die from instant to instant. Only with death does the new come; if the seed does not die, the plant is not born.
The Fifth Gospel The Destruction of our Lunar Inheritance Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 1977
“Well, that is what I want. Good, I’m so glad!” I said: “Well, H., we are going to give them to you.” He said goodbye being very happy. During his lifetime, this man had eliminated those defects of conceit, of vanity, of pride, of self-love, of anger, of selfishness. That is, this man had managed to establish in the depths of his Consciousness a conscious center of gravity, that is why he was now awake in astral, completely awake.
The Fifth Gospel Lunar Psychism and Solar Psychism Second Chamber – Mexico City – 1976
So then, in those circumstances, the Consciousness is asleep. It is indispensable to eliminate those “I’s” with the aim that the Essence, the Consciousness bottled up within them, is liberated, awakened. When one dissolves those “I’s”, one liberates Essence. This is how, little by little, the awakening is taking place.
The Fifth Gospel The Two Types of Metaphysical Crystallizations Thud Chamber – Mexico City – 1975
When one has succeeded in destroying some “I”, one’s Consciousness increases. Little by little the Consciousness is multiplying, it becomes more and more intensive, until a day comes when it is completely awakened.
The Fifth Gospel The Two Types of Metaphysical Crystallizations Thud Chamber – Mexico City – 1975
This is hard to understand. Although you accept it intellectually, you are not Conscious of what you are hearing; it is not possible because you still do not even remotely know how the normal Consciousness works. Obviously, you think you are normal and I do not blame you. I see you as abnormal. Why? Because he who is here within me disintegrated the undesirable psychic elements, whatever was abnormal in me. When I achieved this, and not before, I could experience for myself and in a direct way the harsh realism of the abnormality of the psyche of our fellow men. Since then, my fellow men seemed to be unbalanced people to me; I felt like I was sleeping in a madhouse: planet Earth.
The Fifth Gospel Seriousness in the Esoteric Work Third Chamber – Mexico City
Ordinary human beings –or better said, ordinary humanoids– cannot see the supra-sensitive worlds, they do not have the transcendental faculties that allow them to penetrate into the mysteries of life and death. This is simply because their Consciousness is asleep. The Consciousness is the Essence itself, and it is asleep because it is imprisoned within all the “I’s” that constitute our psychological errors. We need to dissolve those “I’s” for the Essence or the Consciousness to free itself. Only on the basis of profound comprehension and with the help of the Divine Mother Kundalini –the Igneous Serpent of our magic powers– can we destroy, annihilate all those “I’s” which constitute our Ego, our Myself. As these “I’s” are annihilated, the Essence gets unbottled, and when the Essence is totally liberated, then we awaken, we can see, hear, touch and feel the great realities of the superior worlds.
The Fifth Gospel Seriousness in the Esoteric Work Third Chamber – Mexico City also in Identification
We, the Instructors, only wish that you would go through the Buddhist Annihilation so that your Consciousness may awaken. As long as you have not gone through the great annihilation, you are doing very badly. If you ask me how you are doing, I would say badly. Why? Because I see you alive and that is what is serious.
The Fifth Gospel The Transvalorization of the Esoteric Work Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975
All these “I”-persons –I repeat– enter and leave our body. Within each “I”-person, we truly have a fraction of our own Consciousness bottled up. So, our Consciousness is bottled up within all that multiplicity of “I’s” which constitute the Myself. Our bottled-up Consciousness functions by virtue of its own conditioning, that is to say, we have the Consciousness asleep.
The Fifth Gospel The Verticality of Existence First Gnostic Youth Encounter – Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico – July 10. 1975 also in Identification
We need to work a lot, to dissolve those “I’s” that we carry inside us in order to be able to change our own life, in order to awaken Consciousness, in order to reach Enlightenment, in order to truly experience that which is not of time, that which is the truth.
The Fifth Gospel The Verticality of Existence First Gnostic Youth Encounter – Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico – July 10. 1975
In the name of truth, I have to tell you that, first of all, the disintegration of the Myself is urgent, it becomes unpostponable. When the psychological “I” is totally disintegrated, when it is reduced to ashes, when the animal Ego ceases to exist, the Consciousness remains completely enlightened. One can see the Elohim, one can talk to them face-to-face; one can see, touch and feel the great realities of the superior worlds; one can visit Nirvana, Paranirvana and Maha-Paranirvana, etc. But while the Consciousness is asleep, we will not be more than mere intellectuals condemned to the penalty of living, and that is all.
The Fifth Gospel The Verticality of Existence First Gnostic Youth Encounter – Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico – July 10. 1975
The time of great revolutions has come, the time in which we have to decide on the to be or not to be of philosophy, the time when we have to take up arms against ourselves, against the world, against Nature, against the Cosmos, against everything and against everyone. The time has come when we must break the shackles and leave this prison of misery in which we live. Such a prison is called the Ego. As long as we do not destroy this miserable prison, this filthy dungeon, our Consciousness will continue to be imprisoned there, functioning by virtue of its own conditioning, asleep, inert. Now you will comprehend why I care so much, why I said tonight that the main thing is to die. That is how it is, that is how it will be and that is how it must be!
The Fifth Gospel The Verticality of Existence First Gnostic Youth Encounter – Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico – July 10. 1975
In any case, by means of Buddhist Annihilation, by means of the disintegration of all kinds of harmful inhuman or sub-human elements, one achieves that the Essence or Consciousness remains completely unbottled, awakened. The absence of the false personality, the absence of the Ego, confers upon us something that is called “bliss”. Therefore, bliss must be achieved here and now by means of radical transformation. It is through all this that many brothers will go on comprehending, feeling the need for the change.
The Fifth Gospel Psychological Foundations of the False Personality Third Chamber – Mexico City
But above all, we need to discover ourselves, to know ourselves. Only by knowing ourselves, only by discovering ourselves do we know which are the inhuman elements that we carry within. Once we know them, we can eliminate them. Eliminating the mistakes that we carry, awakens in us the marvelous sense of the Being, that faculty known as “Instinctive Perception of Cosmic Truths”. Only that faculty can take us to the experience of what is real, of truth, of that which has always been, is and will be.
The Fifth Gospel A Call to Intelligent Rebellion
In no way would there be true profound inner Enlightenment if the Consciousness continues to be bottled within the Ego. For this reason, the disintegration of the inhuman psychic aggregates, living personification of our mistakes, becomes indispensable, urgent, unpostponable, so that the Essence, the Consciousness, is liberated. If the brothers who are going to study in the Summum Supremum Sanctuarium understand the need to go through the Buddhist Annihilation, we can then expect magnificent results from them. But if they are only bothered about social positions, powers, initiations and thousands of things of the sort, and they do not work on themselves eradicating their psychological defects, in fact, we are sure that there will only be failures.
The Fifth Gospel The Greatness of the Gnostic Apostolate Interview – Mexico City – November, 1976
By awakening the Essence we create a Soul to awaken the Essence is to awaken Con&. To awaken consciousness is equivalent to creating within us a PCC. Only the one who awakens consciousness becomes an individual, however, the individual is not the end, later, we have to reach super-individuality.
The Revolution of the Dialectic
Awakening is only possible by destroying the ‘I’, the ego. We have to recognize with entire clarity that sometimes we have talked about the Particular Characteristic Psychological Trait —PCPT— of each person.
The Revolution of the Dialectic
Consciousness cannot awaken as long as it continues bottled up within psychic aggregates which in their mass constitute the myself, the ‘I’, the loose cathexis. We need to undergo Mystical Death here and now. We need to die from instant to instant; it is only with death that the novel arrives. If the germ does not die, the plant is not born. We need to learn to live, to liberate ourselves from that lunar heredity that we have.
The Revolution of the Dialectic
Superior logic invites us to think that to emancipate oneself from the mind is in fact equivalent to awakening consciousness, to putting an end to automatism.
The Revolution of the Dialectic
IVThe consciousness can only awake through conscious work and voluntary suffering
What that death is paid in. Conscious work and voluntary suffering; the sacrifice of one's own pain, which he says gives the best opportunities of all; a changed way of thinking, because the old one keeps the hypnosis in place; and knowing how to live — the roles put down, the company chosen, the mind and the feelings kept out of what does not concern them.
32. The sun becomes dark like black cloth and the moon becomes as blood when the Lamb opens the sixth Seal. Then we are stricken with great pain, because the Consciousness does not awaken but through pain and bitterness.
The Mysteries of Fire, 1955
To “pass the year” does not necessarily mean we are very intelligent. There are people who have never passed a school year and are very intelligent. There is something more important than passing a school year and studying certain material, and that is precisely to have full, objective, clear and luminous consciousness of the material being studied. Teachers should strive to help students awaken consciousness. All their efforts should be directed to the consciousnesses of the students. It is urgent for students to have complete consciousness of the subjects they study.
Fundamental Education, 1970
Young people study with the intention of gaining employment and earning a living. Later, if they are lucky, they get their desired job. Or, if they become professionals, doctors, lawyers, etc., they will only repeat the same old story: they marry, have children, and suffer. They die without awakening consciousness, without being conscious of their own lives. That is all.
Fundamental Education, 1970
The first thing one needs is to awaken, so as to comprehend one’s own misery, nothingness and pain. The “I” then begins to die from moment to moment.
Fundamental Education, 1970
We must awaken in order to die, and die in order to be born. Whoever dies without having awakened becomes a “stupid saint”. Whoever is born without having died becomes an individual with a double personality: one that is righteous, and another that is very perverse.
Fundamental Education, 1970
The awakening of the consciousness, the radical and absolute change becomes impossible without the death of the pluralized ‘I’. The coming of the new is only possible through death.
Runic Magic, 1969
One must have a Centre of Gravity, a Permanent Centre of Conscious ness. We are no more than machines controlled by our “I’s” (the ego is plural). We are in a disadvantageous position which means we need super-efforts, and need to kill the “I”. That “I” is Mephistopheles; is the root of all our suffering and pain; it lives according to its own conditioning. We must reduce it to cosmic dust in order to have awakened consciousness, in order to be able to see the Path.
Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Laziness
Unfortunately, this is how people with asleep consciousness are; this is how they wander around the world from the day they are born until they die.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Identification
In the second case, I was completely conscious, awake I knew that my physical body had remained asleep in bed I was not projecting; I had exhausted the thinking process, I became open to the new, I received the disembodied person, I investigated him, I realized the deplorable state in which he was.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
How could we awaken without first dying? What is new arrives only with death! If the seed does not die, the plant does not sprout.
Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975
Those who try to awaken first and then die do not possess a real experience of what they affirm. They advance resolutely on the path of error.
Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975
Undoubtedly, the consciousness can only awake through conscious work and voluntary suffering.
The Great Rebellion, 1975
No matter how much we increased the vital forces within our own organism, we would never come to awake consciousness.
The Great Rebellion, 1975
Thus we need to make ourselves masters of our own consciousness, to place it where it must be placed, to situate it where it must be situated, to learn how to put it in a place and learn how to remove it. It is a marvelous gift, but it is a gift that we are not using wisely. Really, the only thing that we have within is the consciousness. It is the most decent thing that we have. The diverse psychic aggregates that we carry are in no way decent. The only decent thing, the only real thing, that which is worthwhile, is the consciousness. But it is asleep; we do not know how to handle it. The psychic aggregates take themselves where they want. Really, we do not know how to use it, and that is lamentable.
For the Few, 1980
Since it is a question of beliefs about the prophesizing of facts, fortunes, etc., I have to tell you that they are doing poorly. I repeat: it is not possible to know another’s destiny if we do not know our own destiny and it is not possible to know our own destiny if we have not arrived at the awakening of the consciousness; this awakening proves to be impossible if the sinner “I” (our defects) has not previously died.
Beyond Death
When that happens, a very profound moral pain is felt. But after arrives the little games of the mind to right the wrongs, and eventually, one consoles oneself in fifty thousand ways and forgets the matter, and the world continues as normal. These awakenings are rare, very rare, but we have all had them at one time or another, all of us.
The Fifth Gospel Imagination as POWER, Fantasy as Illness
But people are capable of anything except sacrificing their pains, they love their pains very much; and it turns out that the greatest pains are those that give one the best opportunities for awakening, for the awakening of the Consciousness. But one has to learn to sacrifice pain.
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Consequences of the Immolation of Pain Lecture – Interview – Mexico City – 1976 also in Entropy and Sacrifice
Learning to sacrifice one’s own pain, that’s what is interesting in order to be able to awaken the Consciousness. Clearly, it is not an easy thing, the work is hard: going against oneself is very hard, it is not very sweet. But it is worth it for one to go against oneself for the results he will get: the awakening. So, are you starting to understand?
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Consequences of the Immolation of Pain Lecture – Interview – Mexico City – 1976 also in Entropy and Sacrifice
Master: It could be said Paramarthasatya. But such heights are not reached except through successive awakenings of the Consciousness, and one cannot reach those successive awakenings of the Consciousness except by sacrificing pain, by learning to sacrifice one’s own sufferings. Because, in reality and in truth, every time one sacrifices a suffering, one’s Consciousness grows and one acquires more psychological strength.
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Consequences of the Immolation of Pain Lecture – Interview – Mexico City – 1976 also in Entropy and Sacrifice
Thus, the authentic, true, real mystical experience only comes when we objectify the Consciousness, when we are awake. The Gnostic brothers should reflect profoundly on all this; study our book The Mystery of the Golden Blossom; concern oneself about dying from moment to moment. Only in this way will they be able to really succeed in objectifying the Consciousness. That is all!
The Fifth Gospel The Intimate Need to Not Project Excursion – Alameda Park, Mexico City
But, as I am telling you, we must start by changing our way of thinking in order to work correctly upon ourselves, actually disintegrating the undesirable psychic elements that we carry within us. How could we achieve the awakening of the Consciousness and the development of the Bodhicitta if we do not change our way of thinking?
The Fifth Gospel Psychoemotional Metamorphosis of Man Third Chamber – Mexico City – July 27, 1977
So, we ourselves must provoke the type of associations that we desire; we ourselves must provoke the type of associations we want to have during sleep and after death. Having comprehended that, we will establish very strong bases for the awakening of the Consciousness.
The Fifth Gospel Psychic Associations that Lead to Awakening Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975
I am explaining this to you so that you know how to orientate yourselves, because if one really wants to get to awaken, one has to know how to live. If one wants to function consciously in the inner worlds, to turn into a competent investigator of life in the Superior Worlds, obviously, one has to foster one’s own associations.
The Fifth Gospel Psychic Associations that Lead to Awakening Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975
It is written that “a man is known by the company he keeps”. We have to know with whom we are, what kind of associations we are going to create in practical life; we must know how to select our friendships, because this is definitive. As we strive to live intelligently, the Consciousness will become more and more awake, until finally it will be able to awaken one day. Upon awakening, we can realize the lamentable state that we are in.
The Fifth Gospel Psychic Associations that Lead to Awakening Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975
First of all, [one must] not allow the mind and the feelings to meddle in the various circumstances of life; the human personality must become calm, passive. This implies, in fact, a tremendous activity of the Consciousness; this means to learn to live consciously; this means to lay the foundations for the awakening. Everyone would like to see, hear, touch and feel the great realities of the Superior Worlds. But, really, how could sleeping people become exper-imenters of the great realities? How could those who have their Consciousness in dreams, be researchers of life in the supra-sensitive regions of Nature and of the Cosmos?
The Fifth Gospel Pedagogy of Knowing How to Live Third Chamber Mexico City – 1974
How could someone who is a toy of others awaken? If I were to insult you at this moment, I am sure you would not tolerate me, you would protest violently, and the best of you would immediately leave.
The Fifth Gospel Pedagogy of Knowing How to Live Third Chamber Mexico City – 1974
So, brothers, he who wants to be master of himself must begin by not allowing the mind and the feelings to get involved in the matters of practical life. But of course, this requires, as I have already said, a tremendous passivity of the personality and a frightening activity of the Consciousness. That is precisely what we need: activity of the Consciousness. When the Consciousness becomes active, it comes out of its lethargy, and then, it is obvious that awakening comes.
The Fifth Gospel Pedagogy of Knowing How to Live Third Chamber Mexico City – 1974
I invite you then to the most profound reflection. As we allow the Consciousness to become active, as we control the mind and the feeling so that they do not stick their noses where they should not, the result will be wonderful, because as the Consciousness becomes active, the process of awakening intensifies.
The Fifth Gospel Pedagogy of Knowing How to Live Third Chamber Mexico City – 1974
The time has come to understand in depth this matter of dying from instant to instant. Only with death does the new come. If the grain does not die, the plant is not born. It is necessary that we all resolve to die if we truly want to be born spiritually. Let us remember that paragraph of Jesus and Nicodemus. Jesus exclaimed: “You must die to enter the Kingdom of Heaven”. We need to die right here and now, if we truly want to enter the Superior Worlds of Cosmic Consciousness completely awakened, totally enlightened, radically transformed.
The Fifth Gospel The Verticality of Existence First Gnostic Youth Encounter – Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico – July 10. 1975
The “I’s” of conceit and vanity, which correspond to the false personality, entrap us, they make us identify with the things of this world, with material things, with the occurrences, with the different events recurring in time. One has to learn to produce the separation from oneself, the separation from all things; not identify oneself with occurrences, with incidents, with things, with events, etc., because that identification absorbs, vampirizes one’s Consciousness and, in fact, submerges it more profoundly. So, we need our Consciousness to awaken, which is possible by making the separation between ourselves, the things, the events and the occurrences.
The Fifth Gospel Psychological Foundations of the False Personality Third Chamber – Mexico City also in Identification, Pride
I want the youth to comprehend this message, to understand it. It is not possible to awaken the Consciousness as long as we do not separate ourselves from all those little roles which we are accustomed to playing. It is not possible to awaken Consciousness as long as we do not distance ourselves completely from mechanistic life.
The Fifth Gospel The New Generations Facing Gnosis Message directed to the Gnostic youth – Mexico City
I do not want to tell you, youth, that we have to lead an anchorite life, no, I am not saying that! We need, it is obvious, to live in the world, but not to let ourselves be swallowed by the world; to be different. Do not do what others do, be different! When one begins to be truly rebellious, the process of awakening begins.
The Fifth Gospel A Call to Intelligent Rebellion
How can one awaken that precious faculty, how can one regenerate it, in what way? I will tell you, youth: ceasing to be mechanical entities, moving away from so many little roles that we perform daily, being rebels. It is when one ceases to be mechanical, that one begins to have consciousness of oneself. And the thing is that we need to know ourselves. That is the only way to stop being mechanical.
The Fifth Gospel A Call to Intelligent Rebellion
IYour Consciousness must always be alert and vigilant as a watchman in times of war
The standing instruction of the whole work, given in the same words for twenty-five years, from *Igneous Rose* in 1953 to the lectures at the end. It is the practice, and it is short enough to carry.
When we want to make ourselves known to a student in the physical plane, we will give him “signs” and proofs in the astral plane, but “be careful”, live alert and vigilant as the guard in times of war, because in these times the Antichrist makes deceiving signs and wonders.
Zodiacal Course, 1951
6. Advance, Arhat! Remain alert and vigilant like the watchman in the time of war. 7. This ardent way that leads from the middlebrow to the heart is very narrow and very difficult and it is filled with very subtle temptations.

57. Thus, evilness revests itself with subtle deceitfulness. Therefore, the disciple must open his eyes very well and be alert and vigilant as the Watchman in the time of war. 58. There are Adepts of the darkness who disguise themselves as Mahatmas and present themselves before us in the internal worlds. This is in order to tell us that we have fallen and have failed in our longing for the light and that we have lost the degrees that we had acquired, etc., etc.
Treatise of Sexual Alchemy, 1954
Initiatic preparation is very rigorous. Disciples should live alert and vigilant like the sentry during wartime. Cleanse your minds; do not let yourself be deceived by the iniquitous ones.

This is the Path of the Razor’s Edge; this path is full of dangers, both within and without. Live alert and vigilant as the watchman in wartime.
The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)
Everyone who follows the Path of the Perfect Matrimony should live alert and vigilant like the sentry in wartime. During the hours of sleep, the Masters test their disciples. The tenebrous attack us during sleep when we are working in the Great Work. During sleep, in the internal worlds we have to pass through many trials. The Masters awaken the consciousness of the disciple when they are going to test him in something.
The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)
If we really want true peace we must learn to live like a watchman at wartime, always alert and vigilant, with a responsive and flexible mind, because peace is not a matter of romantic fantasies or beautiful dreams. If we do not learn to live in a state of alertness from moment to moment, then the path that leads to peace becomes impossible, narrow, and after having become extremely difficult it goes on till finally reaching a dead-end.
Fundamental Education, 1970
We must live alert and vigilant as the watchman in an epoch of war. We want people who work with the three factors of the Revolution of the Consciousness. We lament the cases of too many sincere, mistaken ones, sleepy ones who only work with one factor which disgracefully is many times wrongly done.
Runic Magic, 1969
I slept, observant and vigilant, as a watchman in times of war. I obviously yearned with infinite craving for something extraordinary.

James, and went up on the mountain to pray. And as he was praying, the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became dazzling white. And behold, two men talked with him, Moses and Eli'jah, who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was to accomplish at Jerusalem. Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep but kept awake, and they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him. And as the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is well that we are here; let us make three booths, one for you and one for Moses and one for Eli'jah" --not knowing what he said. As he said this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!" And when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silence and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen... >> Chapter 23 Jerusalem The extraordinary development, revolution and ascent of the Fourth Venusian Serpent towards the interior and upper regions along the medullar canal of the mental body allowed me to experience vitally the whole of the raw evangelic realism of the magisterial entrance of the Great Kabir Jesus in Jerusalem.

In truth, in truth I tell you that your Consciousness must always be alert and vigilant as a watchman in times of war.
The Three Mountains, 1972
If the divine titans of the old continent Mu, those Angels fallen into the animal generation, had not forgotten this tremendous truth, if they had stayed alert and vigilant like the watchman in times of war, they would still be in a paradisiacal state... To completely get hold of the Dog Cerberus without any weapons, means the absolute control over Sex...

I repeat: We need to become serious. This affirmation implies frightful self vigilance from instant to instant, from moment to moment.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
If we are alert and vigilant, like a watchman in time of war, while relating with other people, we can then discover ourselves.
Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975
Those who read these paragraphs must be alert and vigilant as the watchman in the epoch of war.
Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983
Mary answered and said: “Yea, my Lord, with precision have I precisely followed all the words which thou host said Concerning this word then thou host spoken unto us aforetime: ‘If the householder knew at what hour in the night the thief cometh to break into the house, he would keep awake and not suf fer the man to break into his house.” When then Mary had said this, the Saviour said: “Well said, thou spiritual Mary. This is the word”

If you want to triumph, have the force of willpower. Do not allow yourself to be taken off of the Real Path. Remember that tenebrous personages of brilliant intellectualism truly exist who fight against the Universal Christian Gnostic Movement. Stay alert and vigilant like the lookout in times of war.
Magnus Opus also in Desire and Will
There are methods that allow us to awaken Consciousness, and that is the fundamental thing. First of all, whoever wants to wake up must develop, in themselves, the sense of psychological self-observation. We need to live alert and vigilant as the sentry in times of war. It is necessary to understand that when sharing life with others, the possibility of self-discovery exists. It is very likely that if we learn to observe ourselves from instant to instant, from moment to moment, we will discover our psychological errors.
The Fifth Gospel Analysis of the Human Psyche Public Lecture – 1977 also in Identification
But how does one disintegrate them? Well, you have to discover them first, because we have defects that we ignore; you have to discover them to be able to work on them. And where will one discover them? Well, in relation to the people, on the street, in the public square, in the market, in the countryside, in the office. It is clear that if one is alert and vigilant as the sentry in times of war, one discovers his defects, because the hidden defects arise spontaneously, naturally, when one least thinks about it. If one is alert, one sees them. The discovered defect must be worked on, that is, it must be studied, analyzed, profoundly comprehended in all levels of the mind.
The Fifth Gospel Chaotic Consciousness and Intelligent Consciousness Public Lecture – Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico
In the various circumstances of life, we can self-discover ourselves. It is from the different events of existence that we can extract the necessary psychic material for the awakening of Consciousness. It is in relation to people, either in the house, or on the street, in the countryside, at school, in the factory, etc., that the defects which we carry hidden surface spontaneously, and if we are alert and vigilant like the sentry in times of war, then we see them. The discovered defect must be comprehended entirely in all levels of the mind.
The Fifth Gospel The Exercise of SELF-KNOWLEDGE
Master: Then you have not understood well the process of identification. On the contrary, I have been able to clearly see in this moment that you were alert and vigilant as the sentry in times of war, because you were observing your own psychological processes, that is, you were not identified and you discovered different psychological states, you discovered them in yourself, therefore you were not identified. If you had been identified, you would not have discovered this in yourself. That is all. This is how we have to proceed, as you have proceeded, correct. Any other question?
The Fifth Gospel The Exercise of SELF-KNOWLEDGE also in Identification
First of all, we must develop the capacity for psychological self-observation in relation to our friends, on the streets or at home, at work, in the countryside, etc. The defects that we carry hidden inside, surface spontaneously, and if we are alert and vigilant like the sentry in times of war, then we see them. A discovered defect, must be worked on at all the levels of the mind. This is how we will eliminate them. Unquestionably, each defect is by itself a real problem. Comprehending them is fundamental, but that is not all.
The Fifth Gospel The Reality and Fantasy of our Psychology Public Lecture – 1976 also in Identification
One needs to self-observe themselves in action. Let us remember that the defects that we carry hidden within surface spontaneously when one least expects it; they surface in relation with the friends on the street, or with the family at home, or with co-workers at the factory, etc., but they surface! And if one maintains oneself alert and vigilant like the sentry in times of war, then he sees them. A psychological defect that one has discovered, must be understood, must be analyzed, must be studied.

Each circumstance of life, may it be at home, on the street, wherever, provides us with wonderful opportunities, and if we are alert and vigilant as the sentry in times of war, we manage to apprehend our own defects that are projected on our fellow man.
The Fifth Gospel The False World of Appearances Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976
As you digest all this, you will also understand the need to live alert and vigilant as a sentry in times of war, always working in a constant way. The way you are, as you are in these precise moments, you are useless; you have a mistaken creation manifesting through a false personality; spiritually you are dead, you have no reality at all. The way you are, all of you must cease to exist, for if you continue to exist like that, the way you are, you will have to enter the mineral involution of the entrails of the Earth. The way you are, spiritually dead, you do not possess the Objective Reason of the Being, you have not achieved Enlightenment, you lie as shadows in the profound darkness.
The Fifth Gospel Work Taste and Life Taste Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976
Thus, do not escape; you will find the undesirable elements in the terrain of practical life. All that is needed is to be alert and vigilant like the sentry in times of war. We are talking, yes, we are talking, but maybe, what words am I saying? That is how alert we have to be with our words. Do we have emotion? Yes, we have. What kind of emotions? Maybe we are excited about some tango, or we feel like singing the songs of Carlos Gardel? What kind of emotions do we have? Are they good or bad? Are they superior emotions or simply inferior emotions? All that about leaving a party moved by inferior emotions, dancing something merely profane, what is it indicating?
The Fifth Gospel Didactics for Buddhist Annihilation Conference at the end of the Missionary Course – Guadalajara, Jalisco. Mexico – From June 15 to August 30. 1976
Master: All that about “what one remembers” sounds incoherent, vague, imprecise, odorless, tasteless, unsubstantial, colorless to me. Let us think with exactitude: which defect have you just discovered in your practical life? If you are alert and vigilant like a sentry in times of war, you must have discovered a defect. Which one have you just discovered? In which situation have you been involved lately? Did you have a word of anger? Did you have an impulse of lust? What was the last one you discovered? What situations were you in: was it at home, was it in a bar? Where was it? What happened to you? Or are you sleeping?
The Fifth Gospel Didactics for Buddhist Annihilation Conference at the end of the Missionary Course – Guadalajara, Jalisco. Mexico – From June 15 to August 30. 1976 also in Anger, Lust
Master: A fit of anger. Well, I like it that you are sincere, you know? Good. Well, that is what one must do: to live alert and vigilant like a sentry in times of war. Where was the anger? What was the moment? Can you reconstruct the situation? Can you visualize the instant in which you felt anger? Can you do that?
The Fifth Gospel Didactics for Buddhist Annihilation Conference at the end of the Missionary Course – Guadalajara, Jalisco. Mexico – From June 15 to August 30. 1976 also in Anger
For example, I never do this thing to myself with forced or rigorous discipline; in me it is already instinctive. I am here talking, at this moment, before you, and I am already alert, vigilant. I already know where I am and all that, and if we were in astral, I would already know by now that we are in astral without the need to behave in accordance with this rigorous discipline. I made it instinctive, it became a function of my instinctive center. But for it to become a function of the instinctive center, it is necessary first that the instinctive center goes through the sieve of a rigorous discipline. At the beginning it is hard while it becomes instinctive; after it becomes instinctive, it works automatically. Let us see...
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Discipline for Awakening Interview – Mexico City – 1970
So, then, Jesus did not fall. Why did the Great Kabir Jesus not fall? For he was always alert and vigilant like the sentry in times of war; he had his bowl upward, not downward; he was waiting to receive food.
The Fifth Gospel The Metaphysical Value of Knowing How to Listen
Master: It is one thing to talk and another to listen. If we do not know how to listen, we will not have true knowledge. Knowing how to listen requires being alert and vigilant, to be conscious. There also needs to be a complete balance between knowing and comprehending, or between the knowledge and the Being. But it is one thing to listen and another thing to talk. Educating the word is advisable, I am not saying that it is not, but it is indispensable to know how to listen. That is what we are mainly referring to tonight: the science of listening. Any other words, brothers?
The Fifth Gospel The Metaphysical Value of Knowing How to Listen
The bad secretary causes a lot of damage, that's why we must always be alert and vigilant, right? Wiling to receive the word, but alert, attentive and present. If we are absent, how could we receive it?
The Fifth Gospel The Metaphysical Value of Knowing How to Listen
There are people who take a long time to digest an impression. There are people who never digest an impression. We must learn to transform and digest impressions instantly. This is possible if we remain alert and vigilant as the sentry in times of war.
The Fifth Gospel The New Generations Facing Gnosis Message directed to the Gnostic youth – Mexico City
IIPractical life is a wonderful psychological gymnasium
The alert state at work, and where he says to do it: not in a cell but in relation — with friends in the street, with the family at home, with co-workers at the factory. In alert perception, alert novelty, the defects hidden at the bottom of us come out by themselves and are seen.
The mystical death is an arduous and difficult factor. The ego dissolves based on thorough comprehension. Coexisting with others and becoming aware of our innate nature forms the mirror in which we see ourselves for who we are. Our defects jump out of hiding during our interaction with others and if we are vigilant we can observe them.
Christmas Messages, 1952–66
Some Gnostic students have written to us, asking for a didactic in order to dissolve the ‘I’. Coexistence is a marvelous fulllength mirror where the ‘I’ can be contemplated in its entirety. The defects which are hidden in the bottom of our subconscious spontaneously emerge during interrelations with our fellow man. The defects come forth from us because our subconscious betrays us and if we are in the state of alert perception, we will see them just as they are in themselves. The greatest joy for the Gnostic is to celebrate the discovering of some of his defects. A discovered defect becomes a dead defect. When we discover any defect, then, we should see it in action, as when one is seeing a movie, yet, without judging or condemning it.
Christmas Messages, 1952–66
You must live in the state of alert perception. See, hear and comprehend, do not judge so that you will not be judged. Comprehend everything.
The Aquarian Message, 1960
Some students of psychology have proposed to live in a state of alertness from moment to moment, but suddenly they fall asleep, perhaps upon meeting a friend in the street, upon entering a store to buy something, etc., and hours later, when they remember their decision to live alert and awake from instant to instant they realize they had fallen asleep when they entered such and such a place, or met such and such a person, etc., etc., etc.
Fundamental Education, 1970
To be self-conscious is something very difficult, but one can reach this state by learning how to live in a state of alertness and vigilance from moment to moment.
Fundamental Education, 1970
Only in a state of alert novelty, with a spontaneous mind, free from the burden of the past, in a state of complete receptivity can we really listen without the intervention of that awful, ill-fated secretary, the “I”, the self, the ego.
Fundamental Education, 1970
The social interaction of practical life is the perfect mirror in which we are able to discover ourselves. In social interaction, our hidden defects come out spontaneously, and if we are in a state of alertness, then we see them we discover them. Each hidden defect must be subjected to thorough intellectual analysis. Later, after having profoundly comprehended it, we must investigate and understand it, through meditation, in all the subconscious levels of the mind.
The Buddha's Necklace, 1967
We need to become conscious of our own Karma and that is only possible by means of the State of Alert Novelty.
Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967
This brother could never forget the state of alert perception and alert novelty, which are so indispensable and so urgent for the awakening of the consciousness.
Runic Magic, 1969
Only in understanding the sensations do we kill desire. Only by annthilating desire can the mind be liberated, which is normally found trapped within the confines of desire. Liberating the mind produces the Awakening of Consciousness. If we want to put an end to the causes of desire we need to live in a state of constant vigilance. It is urgent to live in a state of alert perception, alert newness. The “I” is a great book, a book of many volumes. Only by means of the technique of internal meditation can we study that book.
Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Desire and Will
To live from instant to instant in a state of alert perception, alert novelty, like the lookout in time of war, is both essential and imperative if in reality we want to dissolve the pluralised Ego.
The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971
It is well known that in these interrelations, the multiple defects we carry hidden in the unknown depths of the unconscious always emerge naturally, spontaneously and, if we are vigilant, we see and discover them.
The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971
I must solemnly assert, for the good of the Great Cause, that at that time I was in a condition of alert novelty, alert perception.
The Three Mountains, 1972
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 unitotal, integral manner.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
Remember what we have already said in previous talks: In relating with our fellowmen, the defects that we carry hidden, spontaneously burst forth and if we are alert and vigilant as a guard in times of war, then we will discover them In every self-discovery there also exists self-revelation. A discovered defect should be rigorously analyzed, studied in all the levels of the mind and integrally comprehended through the diverse processes of profound interior meditation.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
SUBJECT: Do not forget ourselves, watch ourselves at each second, at each moment. This implies a state of alertness in relation to our thoughts, gestures, actions, emotions, habits, words, etc., etc.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Identification
The one who unceasingly does not live in a state of alert novelty, alert perception, thinking that he is thinking, easily becomes identified with any negative thought. Thus, lamentably, as an outcome of his behavior, he strengthens the disastrous power of the “Negative I” who is the author of the corresponding thought in question.
Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975 also in Identification
Nonetheless, when one discovers that “I” in action, when one has learned to live in a state of alertness, then, such a deception becomes impossible.
Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975
Self-discovery is possible when we are in a state of alert perception, alert novelty. Any “I” discovered flagrantly must be carefully observed in our mind, heart, and sexual center.
Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975
The defects which are hidden in the bottom of our subconsciousness spontaneously emerge when we are in relationship with our fellow man. The defects burst out from us because our subconsciousness betrays us, and if we are in the state of alert perception, then we see them, just as they are in themselves.
Dissolving the I, 1964
Meditation must be combined with sleepiness. Thus, with profound sight, we become conscious of the defect we are trying to comprehend. Once this defect is dissolved, “something new” comes to us. One must be in the state of alert perception, alert novelty during internal meditation.
Esoteric Course of Kabbalah
For all these reasons, it is necessary for us to be alert and vigilant like the sentry in times of war. The state of alert-perception, alert-novelty is indispensable. If we do not proceed this way, the Consciousness will continue to be imprisoned within the psychic aggregates that we carry inside us and it will never awaken.
The Fifth Gospel The Exercise of SELF-KNOWLEDGE
Master: It is urgent and unpostponable to analyze and annihilate the Ego in a voluntary and conscious way. In dealing with people, the hidden defects surface spontaneously, and if we are in a state of alert perception, alert novelty, we see them as they are in themselves. A discovered defect must be subjected to analysis, to meditation, with the purpose of comprehending it. It is not enough to understand the defect, it is necessary to grasp its deep meaning. Any flash of Consciousness can enlighten us and grasp, in thousandths of a second, the deep meaning of the defect.
The Fifth Gospel The Balance of the Energetic Centers Conference given to Gnostic students
Any error is multifaceted and is processed in the forty-nine regions of the mind. Psychological gymnasium is indispensable, and this is life. In human interrelation, in coexistence with our fellow men, there are infinite possibilities for self-discovery, however it is obvious that self-vigilance must always be done from moment to moment.
The Fifth Gospel The Balance of the Energetic Centers Conference given to Gnostic students
It is precisely in practical life where we can discover ourselves. Practical life is a wonderful psychological gymnasium where we can self-discover in relation to our fellow men, with our friends, in relation to our co-workers, at home, in the office. If we are alert and vigilant as the sentry in times of war, we can self-discover.
The Fifth Gospel The Precariousness of the Human Psyche lst International Meeting of Hermetic Culture – Guadalajara. Jalisco, Mexico – October 28. 1975
Let us start with immediate, direct psychological self-observation; let us start by living in a state of alert perception, alert novelty, to keep discovering our defects here and now. Let us work from moment to moment and thus we will keep dissolving the Ego completely. One day, when we are awake, we can remember our innumerable births. That is all.
The Fifth Gospel The Wonders of Awakened Consciousness Public Lecture – 1975 also in Identification
Practical life is the psychological gymnasium where we can self-discover. In the relation with our fellow men, whether it is at home, on the street, in the school, in the temple, in the factory or in the office, etc., if we are in constant self-observation, we will discover ourselves. I know that in every circumstance of life, the psychological defects that we carry hidden there, deep within ourselves, come to the surface. If one does not self-observe them, one cannot self-discover them either. But if one is under constant psychological observation, from moment to moment, then these defects can be discovered. They surface in such a natural, spontaneous way, that it really is not difficult to discover them if we are in the state of alert-perception, alert-novelty.
The Fifth Gospel The Wonders of Awakened Consciousness Public Lecture – 1975 also in Identification
If one is in a state of alert perception, alert novelty, one will see that, amidst the diverse circumstances of life, the defects that we carry hidden deep within ourselves will surface spontaneously, and then we see them.
The Fifth Gospel The Reality and Fantasy of our Psychology Public Lecture – 1976
You want to be awake in the astral, in the mental, etc., but you do not worry about dying and what is most serious is that you confuse the dreams with true mystical experiences. One thing are dreams, which are only simple projections of the subconscious, and another thing are the mystical, real experiences. Any authentic mystical experience demands the state of alertness and an awakened Consciousness; I could not conceive a mystical experience with the Consciousness asleep.
The Fifth Gospel The Intimate Need to Not Project Excursion – Alameda Park, Mexico City
Deep down, sometimes we are certainly a little slow in understanding. When things get difficult, we must intensify the state of alert-perception, alert-novelty, and extract the best from those difficulties. Learn from them, consciously, what they want to teach us.
The Fifth Gospel Beyond the Mind Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1974
In the field of practical life is where we must self-discover. The errors that we carry within emerge precisely in practical life, and if we are in a state of alert, then we will see them as they are. The discovered defect must be fully comprehended through the technique of meditation. Once comprehended, it can be eliminated with the annular serpentine power that develops in the body of the ascetic, which is, with the power of Devi Kundalini.
The Fifth Gospel The Mind and Ethics of Resurrected Masters Third Chamber – Mexico City – December 31. 1975
When one learns to live in a state of alert-perception, alert-novelty, when one remembers oneself from instant to instant, from moment to moment, when one never forgets oneself, undoubtedly, he will become conscious.
The Fifth Gospel Intelligent Assimilation of Impressions also in Identification
It is necessary to disintegrate the psychic aggregates, and they could not be disintegrated if one does not live in a state of alert-perception, alert-novelty. Any other question?
The Fifth Gospel Intelligent Assimilation of Impressions
Clearly, I –a person who is used to being in a state of alert-perception, alert-novelty– limited myself, exclusively, to seeing those fools in a state of hypnosis.
The Fifth Gospel Pedagogy of Knowing How to Live Third Chamber Mexico City – 1974
In practical life, we need to live in a state of alert-perception, alert-novelty, if we want to eliminate the undesirable psychic aggregates that we carry inside ourselves. In relation to our friends, in the street, in the public square, in the temple, etc., the hidden defects that we carry surface spontaneously, and if we are alert and vigilant like the sentry in times of war, then we see them.
The Fifth Gospel Lunar Psychism and Solar Psychism Second Chamber – Mexico City – 1976
Master: I have heard your words. Undoubtedly, one has to know how to Listen. A state of alert perception, of alert novelty is needed if one wants to listen. But –I repeat–, how can anyone who is not at home know how to listen?
The Fifth Gospel The Metaphysical Value of Knowing How to Listen
But if one listens, he learns to listen in a state of alert-perception, of alert-novelty, he also comes to recognize, for that reason, through the data he receives, through the word that informs him, he really comes to discover that he is a troubled, a naked, miserable and hungry person. There remains, in that case, an empty place for the word to enter.
The Fifth Gospel The Metaphysical Value of Knowing How to Listen
Master: Well, you can work, simply, by using life as a psychological gymnasium. It is in the terrain of practical life where we self-discover, because in relation to our fellow man, we can see ourselves as we are. It is obvious that hidden defects come to the surface, they jump out when we are in relation with people, and if we remain alert and vigilant like a sentry in time of war, then we catch them.
The Fifth Gospel The Need to Develop the Inner Mind Interview – Mexico City – 1975
Really, when the mind is in alert perception during interaction, the hidden defects flourish, leap forward, then we see them as they are in ourselves.
The Revolution of the Dialectic
IIIWhoever wants to awaken consciousness should begin by dividing their attention into three parts: subject, object, location
The exercise he gives oftenest, taken here only where the point is the waking: the attention divided in three, self-remembering from moment to moment, and not forgetting oneself — with Ouspensky in the streets of Saint Petersburg, who kept it for an hour and a half and lost it in a cigarette shop.
When we learn to not forget ourselves, when we learn to divide our attention between subject, object, and location, we save creative energy in order to awaken consciousness.
Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Identification
It is necessary to learn how to handle our attention in order to awaken consciousness, but students do not know anything about this because their teachers have not taught them about it.
Fundamental Education, 1970
Whoever wants to awaken consciousness should begin by dividing their attention into three parts: subject, object, location.
The Buddha's Necklace, 1967
It may seem incredible, but when the student observes himself, he does not remember himself. Aspirants, without a doubt, do not feel themselves; they are not conscious of themselves. Improbable as it may seem, when the Gnostic aspirant observes his way of laughing, speaking, walking, etc., he forgets himself. This is incredible, but true. It is essential, however, to try to remember ourselves while observing ourselves. This is fundamental if we wish to awaken our conscious ness. To observe and to know ourselves, without forgetting ourselves, is terribly difficult, but is urgent if we wish to awaken our consciousness.
The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Identification
Our readers must think about this. People are unable to feel their own I while selfobserving; they are unable to pass it from one center to another, etc. In order to awaken consciousness, we must observe the way we speak, laugh, walk, etc., without forgetting ourselves, and while feeling the I inside: this is a difficult but fundamental step. The great master Ouspensky said, “When I made the effort to be conscious of my Being; to be conscious of myself as ‘I’; to tell myself, ‘I am walking, I am doing’; to try to keep alive this feeling of “I” to feel it within: these efforts produced the first impression that thoughts remained asleep when I grasped the ‘I,’ that I could not think or speak, and that even the intensity of emotions diminished. Besides, I could stay in that state for only a very short time.”
The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Identification
Observing how we think, speak, laugh, walk, eat, feel, etc., without forgetting ourselves, without forgetting the intimate processes of the ego, always remembering what is occurring deep inside in the forty-nine subconscious levels of Yaldabaoth: this is frightful difficult, but fundamental, nevertheless, to the awakening of consciousness.
The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Identification
The one who wants to awaken consciousness should practice Inner Self-Remembering from moment to moment.
Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Identification
If Inner Self-Remembering from moment to moment is fundamental to awaken consciousness, learning to use attention is no less fundamental.
Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Identification
The Division of Attention into Subject, Object and Place, leads to the awakening of Consciousness.
Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967
It is not a matter of merely self-observing the steps we take, nor the forms of the body, etc. The vigilance of oneself implies the silent and serene study of all our inner psychological processes, emotions, passions, thought8, words, etc., etc.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Identification
Question: Master, what difference exists between the exercise of the division of attention into three parts and the dissolution of the ego to awaken consciousness? Answer: Ladies and gentlemen, by means of all these talks we have been especially interested in the dissolution of the ego, in the complete destruction of all those psychic aggregates within which, consciousness is found imprisoned, bottled up.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
In the talk of today, we gave a specific, definite exercise. We have talked of the division of attention into three parts, with the purpose of using each time in a more and more perfect manner, the diverse percentages of awake consciousness that we are achieving through the death in oneself.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
In the beginning, these creations of hell, these psychic aberrations that unfortunately characterize you, are more ugly and monstrous than the most horrendous beasts that exist at the bottom of the oceans or in the most profound jungles of the earth. Yet, as you advance in your work, you will be able to evince through the sense of internal selfobservation the outstanding fact that those abominations lose bulk; they grow smaller. It is intriguing to know that such bestialities, as they decrease in size, as they lose bulk and become smaller, they gain in beauty; they slowly assume a childlike figure. Finally, they disintegrate; they become a cloud of cosmic dust. Then the imprisoned Essence is liberated; it is emancipated; it awakens.
Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975 also in Identification
The method to awaken the consciousness is based on self-remembering. Every human being is fascinated by different things, as we already said in the preceding paragraph. When we are fascinated with a particular image or representation, we forget ourselves. We are dreaming at that time. I have seen people during a public demonstration throw themselves into violence. In such cases, gentlemen who in their sound judgment are not capable of speaking an ill word have insulted and thrown stones with the crowds in a state of confusion. Here you have the power of fascination; one forgets oneself and then falls asleep, often dreaming about completely absurd things. After the dream passes comes shame, embarrassment and problems. The Gnostic student must not allow himself to become fascinated by anything.
Esoteric Course of Kabbalah also in Identification
There is a need to open the third mind at all costs. And this is only possible by annihilating the psychic aggregates; this is the obvious way to proceed. But for this issue of the annihilation of the undesirable elements that we carry within us, there must be a solid didactic and a vivid dialectic: the dialectic of the Consciousness. Much has been said about dialectics, but truly, what is important is the dialectic of the Consciousness, the events of the superlative Consciousness of the Being. We need –I repeat– to begin to self-observe psychologically if we truly yearn to liberate the Essence one day, in order to return to the original paradisiacal state.
The Fifth Gospel The Wonders of Awakened Consciousness Public Lecture – 1975
Is there any way to awaken the Consciousness? I say that yes there is, and I am going to give you the technique tonight. First of all, one has to admit that he has his own psychology. People find this a bit difficult: they admit that they have a body of flesh and bone because they can touch it, they can grab their hands, smell them, etc., but they find it difficult to accept that they have a psychology, because they cannot see it. How could they see it, touch it, feel it?
The Fifth Gospel The Consequences of Psychological Plurality Public Lecture
It is therefore indispensable to never forget one-self. But it is very easy to forget oneself. Ouspensky, for example, set out one night to go walking awake on the streets of Saint Petersburg –I say “walking awake” to differentiate this from “walking asleep”, which is what all ordinary people do; that is what everybody does–. That man walked and walked watching himself, observing himself, controlling the mind and the senses. This man walked everywhere. Suddenly, he wanted to prepare his cigarettes –he was a smoker–, he saw a cigarette shop and entered to have them prepare not some cigarettes, but simply some cigars. When he left the shop smoking, he no longer remembered the exercise that he was practicing. He walked along many streets of Saint Petersburg until he arrived at his house. Upon entering his room, he remembered himself again. Then, with grief, he realized that he had forgotten the exercise and that his Consciousness had fallen asleep upon entering that cigarette shop. After that he had walked along many parts truly like a sleepwalker, he had entered a dream.

The second aspect or the second phase [for the awakening] of the Consciousness: object or objects. If one sees a beautiful object: a suit or a ring, a perfume, whatever it is, and one sees it in a store window –as you say over there, in a “shopwindow”–, and if he is enchanted by that object which he is seeing there, the first thing that happens is that he falls into unconsciousness. Why? Because he forgot himself.
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Discipline for Awakening Interview – Mexico City – 1970
Place. One has to look at every place in a careful way, even the familiar places: the living room of the house, the bedroom, to look at it every day as something new, to learn to see it in a different, distinct way. Wherever one goes, the first thing one has to say to oneself is: “Well, why am I here? What have I got to do in this place?” That is indispensable if one wants to awaken the Consciousness.
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Discipline for Awakening Interview – Mexico City – 1970
Well, practice this exercise for about half an hour or one hour before falling asleep. If this is combined with the practice of the division of attention in the three parts –subject, object, place– I am absolutely sure that you will achieve the awakening of the Consciousness very quickly.
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Discipline for Awakening Interview – Mexico City – 1970
Master: Of course, that is obvious: to not forget oneself. The individual who forgets himself falls in the sleep of the Consciousness, that is clear. But, I repeat, it is here that we need to awaken; whoever awaken here, awakens everywhere. What were you going to tell me?
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Discipline for Awakening Interview – Mexico City – 1970 also in Identification
So, brothers, if we proceed in this way, there is no room for mistakes. But we have to know how to proceed in this way and not in another way. And not forget either the vigilance over the mind. The mind, in such instants, must not project anything; it must be still and in silence inside and outside, and in the center. The process of thinking must have been exhausted, at least in those instants.
The Fifth Gospel Satanic Origins of Skepticism and Mythomania Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975
It is difficult for someone to maintain himself in continuous self-observation, day and night, constantly; it is difficult to find someone like that. When one truly perseveres, one smashes the “I’s”, destroys them and liberates the Consciousness, making it refulgent, making it awaken. It is necessary to change, my dear brothers, change is urgent, and this is not possible if the false personality continues to exist in us.
The Fifth Gospel Psychological Foundations of the False Personality Third Chamber – Mexico City also in Identification
There is a third state of Consciousness that we could say is the one of self-remembering –of remembering the Being, the Consciousness, oneself, the Being–. This third state of Consciousness is very precious. We need to enter this third state of Consciousness, which is that of plenitude, of bliss, and it is not possible to pass to this state of Consciousness while we are trapped in the false personality. But if we manage to separate ourselves from the false personality, then we enter the third state of Consciousness, that of remembering ourselves, our own Being, the Consciousness of the Being. Thus we achieve the awakening of the Consciousness.

Ouspensky, in his first attempts, reached an hour and a half. After having walked through all the streets of Saint Petersburg for about an hour and a half without forgetting himself, he entered a cigarette shop to arrange for some cigars to be made. When he came out of that cigarette store, he had already forgotten himself. He walked for several hours through different streets, smoking his tobacco quietly. Hours later, he remembered his exercise, when he was already at home; he realized that his Consciousness had fallen asleep.
The Fifth Gospel The Binary Serpentine Power also in Identification
Now, when one reflects on oneself, one withdraws into oneself. When you ask yourself: “Why shouldn’t I forget myself? Why should I do this exercise and not forget myself? Why? Who am I to forget myself?”, such a reflection implies a greater effort that makes Hydrogen-12 pass exactly to the capital center of the brain for the first shock of Consciousness, of awakened Consciousness. Because to do the exercise of “not forgetting oneself” is to be alert from instant to instant; that should be normal. But when one makes deeper self-reflections: “Why shouldn’t I forget myself? Why do I have to remember myself? Who am I to be remembering myself?”, in that personal self-effort to know who I am and why I have to not forget myself, in that tremendous effort to know who am I, to have consciousness of myself, in that instant of decision through one’s own effort, well it is clear, then Hydrogen-12 rises to a certain special center of the brain to produce the first shock of Consciousness.
The Fifth Gospel The Binary Serpentine Power also in Identification
As you progress, you will be doing the exercise of self-remembering longer and longer; then you will continue having more consciousness of yourselves. There will come a time when, through this exercise, you will be able to know a few minutes and even hours of your life in a better way; that is to say, you will improve your memory, and also this exercise will allow you, to rectify many concepts that you have about yourself, mistaken concepts. Because as you extend this exercise of not forgetting yourselves, even if it is five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes, during that interval, during those seconds, during that exercise you will know yourselves better. In this way you will rectify the concepts you have about yourself and the quality of your memory will improve. One day, you will be able to stay fully awake for twelve hours and for twenty-four hours. When you reach one hundred percent of awakened Consciousness, you will have triumphed, you will have achieved Adepthood; that is clear. We have to go about understanding that.

Ancient men grew spiritually under the influence of the “Ursa Major” and students should meditate intensely on the ‘Ursa Major’ if they want to awaken consciousness. That constellation radiates powerful spiritual forces and man should learn to converse with the sidereal genii of that constellation.

Action free of mental dualism produces the awakening of consciousness.

An initial study in the technique of meditation is the antechamber of that divine peace that surpasses all knowledge. The most elevated form of thinking is non-thinking. When one achieves the stillness and silence of the mind, the ‘I’, with all its passions, desires, appetites, fears, affections, etc. becomes absent. It is only in the absence of the ‘I’, in the absence of the mind, that the Buddhata can awaken to unite with the Inner Self and take us to ecstasy.
Christmas Messages, 1952–66
This technique of meditation with its non-thinking, puts to work the most central part of the mind, the one that produces the ecstasy. Remember that the central part of the mind is that which is called Buddhata, the essence, the consciousness. When the Buddhata awakens we remain illuminated. We need to awaken the Buddhata, the consciousness.
Christmas Messages, 1952–66
The Buddhata, the essence, is the psychic material, the inner Buddhist principle, the spiritual material or prime matter with which we will give shape to the soul. The Buddhata is the best that we have within and awakens with profound inner meditation. The Buddhata is really the only element that the poor intellectual animal possesses to arrive at the experience of that which we call the Truth.
Christmas Messages, 1952–66
The only thing that the intellectual animal can do, unable to incarnate the Being due to the fact that he still does not possess the Superior Existential Bodies, is to practice meditation to awaken the Buddhata and know the Truth.
Christmas Messages, 1952–66
With a lot of meditation and with supreme mental quietude and silence, Han Shan attained the awakening of the Buddhata, the essence, the consciousness. During the hours of sleep Han Shan ceased to dream and lived completely awake in the superior worlds. Upon returning to his physical body after a period of sleep, he brought to his physical brain all the memories of his experience in the superior worlds, everything that happened to him. He accomplished this with mental stillness and silence.
Christmas Messages, 1952–66
Thus, this is the path for returning into the innocence of Paradise. The soul will successfully experience the spiritual martyrdoms and the interior torments while submerged within the Nothingness. God searches the Nothingness in order to fill it. Internal meditation produces changes in our internal bodies. Through it, the awakening of the consciousness arrives.
The Aquarian Message, 1960
With this daily introversion you will awaken your consciousness to such a degree that while your physical body sleeps, you (within your astral body) will act in the same spontaneous and lucid way as when you were within your physical body. During your ecstasies (based on your sincerity and devotion), you will be allowed to visit the nuclei upon which the universe is based (speaking allegorically, these nuclei look like holes) you will then be able to contemplate the Divine Majesty of the Absolute.
Aztec Christic Magic, 1973
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.

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).
The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)
When dualism is done away with, when the mind becomes integrated, serene, quiet, profound, when it no longer compares, at that time the essence, the consciousness awakens, and this must be the true aim of fundamental education. Let’s distinguish between objectivity and subjectivity. In objectivity there is awakened consciousness. In subjectivity there is sleeping consciousness, subconsciousness. Only objective consciousness can enjoy objective knowledge.
Fundamental Education, 1970 also in Identification
"Remember that your bodies are the temple of God alive, and that the Almighty dwells in you". The disciple must deeply drowse trying to converse with his INTIMATE one. 4th: SHAMADI (Ecstay). If the disciple has managed to drowse meditating on his INTIMATE one, then he goes into the state of Shamadi and can see and hear ineffable things, and chat with the angels. This is how the consciousness awakes from its millenary lethargy. This is how we can acquire true divine Wisdom without damaging the mind's powers with the battling of reasonings, or with vain intellectualism.
Christ Consciousness, 1952
The human organism is a Living Zodiac and in each of its twelve constellations, the consciousness sleeps profoundly.
Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967
The devotee should sing this powerful mantra four times during this exercise of Aries and then, standing up towards the East, he will extend his right arm forward moving his head forward seven times, seven times backwards, turning it seven times towards the right, turning it seven times towards the left, with the intention that the light of Aries will work within the cerebrum awakening the pineal and pituitary glands which permit us the perception of the superior dimensions of space.
Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967
It is urgent for the Light of Aries to develop within our cerebrum awakening our Consciousness, developing the secret powers contained in the Pituitary and Pineal glands. Aries is the symbol of RA, RAMA, the lamb. By properly singing the powerful mantra RA, it causes the spinal fires and the seven magnetic centers of the dorsal spine to vibrate.
Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967
Undoubtedly, it is very recommendable to utilize those Flames of Sacred Fire that are enclosed within the Muladhara Chakra for the awakening of the Consciousness.
The Solar Bodies, 1968
The best Initiates of Laya Yoga, Zen and Chan intelligently combine meditation with Pranayama when comprehending the urgent necessity of awakening the Consciousness. When a minute fraction of vital energy travels through the length of a nervous fiber and provokes reactions in certain centers, it is perceived as a dream or as imagination; however, when, under the effects of Pranayama (in combination with Meditation) any minute fraction of Sacred Fire achieves to rise through the Medullar Canal, the reaction of such centers is formidable, immensely superior to that of a dream or imagination. Any minute fraction of the reserve of Kundalini becomes formidable for the Awakening of the Consciousness; therefore, it is, by all means, marvelous to combine meditation with respiratory exercises.
The Solar Bodies, 1968
The exercises of inner meditation gradually provoke the “Awakening of the Consciousness,” the awakening of the Buddhata.
The Solar Bodies, 1968
Marvelous Forces of Love, revive my Sacred Fires, so that my consciousness will awaken. FAAA….. FEEE…. FIIII…… FOOO…… FUUU……
Runic Magic, 1969
The practices corresponding to the Rune TYR or TIR consist of placing the arms high above the head, then descending the m to the sides while the hands are cupped like seashells. When lowering the straight arms pronounce the mantra “ TIIIIIIIRRRRRRRR” (The sound of the letters ‘I’ and ‘R’ should be prolonged in order to awake the consciousness.)
Runic Magic, 1969
The letter ‘T’ or TAU strikes the consciousness in order to awaken it. The letter ‘I’ works intensely within the blood which is the vehicle of the essence. The ‘R’ while intensifying the circulation of the blood in the veins and in the sanguineous vessels, is operating marvels with the igneous flames by intensifying and stimulating the awakening.
Runic Magic, 1969
When we liberate ourselves from the mind, then this mind is converted into a ductile, elastic and useful vehicle with which we express ourselves in this conscious world. Superior logic invites us to think that liberating, emancipating ourselves from the mind, releasing ourselves from all mechanism is equivalent in fact to the awakening of the consciousness, to the termination of automatism.
Runic Magic, 1969
10th Rule.- Absolute relaxation of all the body and the wise combinatio n of meditation with drowsiness.
Runic Magic, 1969
J.- It is indispensable to relax the body for the meditation, no muscle must remain with tension. It is urgent to provoke and to regulate drowsiness by will.
Runic Magic, 1969
When the mind is quiet and in silence, not only in the intellectual level, but in all and each one of the forty-nine subconscious departments, then the Newness emerges. The Essence, the consciousness is unbottled, and the awakening of the soul, that is to say, the Ecstasy, the Samadhi, the Satori of the Saints occurs.
Runic Magic, 1969
The awakening of the consciousness, of the Essence, of the soul or Buddhata is only possible by liberating, emancipating ourselves from the mental dualism, from the struggle of the antithesis, of the intellectual waves.
Runic Magic, 1969
Nevertheless, those who are single can and must utilize the creative energy for the awakening of the consciousness.
Runic Magic, 1969
These nerves or tubes reach the brain, then after they continue through other nerves towards the heart. These nerves are other channels, the Amrita Nadi is one among them. When exhaling, imagine the sexual energies entering the heart, and even penetrating more deeply, reaching to the consciousness in order to awaken it. Strike the consciousness with force, with THELEMA (Will-Power), thus combining the Runes Thorn and movement.

These Eight Brethren are then the Rectors of Nature, the generators of vital phenomena, the regulators of all the fundamental activities of this planetary organism on which we live. Meditate and pray, remain alert and vigilant as the lookout in the times of war and do not fall into temptation.
My Return to Tibet, 1969
Direct mystical experience is urgent in order to know. Yet, indeed, the esoteric experience, the ecstasy, is only for humans with awakened Consciousness.
My Return to Tibet, 1969
The Mantra ‘WU’ mainly refers to the awakening of the mystical experience in its immediate sense, and the Samyasam Boddhi (Chueh in China) denotes a permanent and complete illumination.
Parsifal Unveiled, 1970
They say that when the KUNDALINI sleeps coiled within the Chakra Muladhara, man is awakened in this vale of tears. This is a absolutely false because the intellectual humanoid wherever found, whether in the physical world or in the superior dimensions of Nature, is always asleep.
The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971
<< And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down upon the ground. And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleep for sorrow (with the Consciousness asleep), and he said to them, "Why do you sleep? (Why do you have your Consciousness asleep?) Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation."
The Three Mountains, 1972 also in Identification
We must know how to supplicate and have faith. We have to ask Morpheus to teach us and to awaken us in the supra sensitive worlds.
The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974
“Oh Thou, Solar Logos, igneous Emanation, substance and consciousness of christ, powerful life whereby everything advances, come unto me and penetrate me, enlighten me, bathe me, go through me and awaken within my Being all of those ineffable substances that are as much a part of Thee as well as part of me.
Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)
The Gnostic Medic will have to practice internal meditation daily. We achieve the awakening of the consciousness and the actualization of all our occult powers with the technique of Meditation, sexual magic and the power of the verb. One hour of daily vocalization is more worthy than reading a thousand books of oriental theosophy. True vocalization is intimately related with the technique of meditation.
Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)
The vehicle of the christie consciousness has its chakra in the heart. So, when internally vocalizing the syllable ON and meditating in its profound significance, the awakening of the mystic consciousness is produced. Then, independent from the physical body, the soul acquires the power of functioning in her superior vehicles.
Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)
The awakening of the consciousness and the development of intuition are acquired by meditating daily in our Intimate and in the syllable ON, and by practicing sexual magic daily.

It is only in the absence of the ‘I’, in the absence of the mind, that the Buddhata can awaken to unite with the Inner Self and take us to ecstasy.
Dissolving the I, 1964
Allow this figure to become immersed into your consciousness. Then, in a state of nonthinking, make your mind calm and spacious. Thus, after some time, you will awaken consciousness in the astral body.
Esoteric Course of Kabbalah
So, when a Gnostic, a Gnostic Arhat submerges into meditation, he seeks tranquility. During those moments, he proposes to work upon some inhuman element that he has discovered in himself through self-observation. Possibly he discovered anger. Well, he will then dedicate himself to comprehend the psychic aggregate of anger, until he turns it into dust with the help of his Divine Mother Kundalini, who he must invoke to help him. Or maybe he discovered that he has the psychic aggregate of hatred. Then he will resolve to disintegrate that aggregate, so that love will arise in its place. As one disintegrates all these inhuman psychic aggregates that we carry within us, the Consciousness will be awakened.
The Fifth Gospel Psychoemotional Metamorphosis of Man Third Chamber – Mexico City – July 27, 1977 also in Anger, Hatred
The awakening of consciousness is only possible through liberation and emancipation from mental dualism, from the battle of the antitheses, from intellectual waves. Any subconscious, infraconscious or unconscious struggle becomes an impediment to the liberation of the essence.
The Revolution of the Dialectic
But we have to be wise in meditation, judge ourselves, know what is inattentive in us. We need to make ourselves conscious of that which is inattentive that exists in us. When I say that we should dominate the mind, the one who has to dominate the mind is the Essence, the Conscience. By awakening Consciousness we have more power over the mind and thereby, we become conscious of what is unconscious in us.
The Revolution of the Dialectic
The elements which constitute the subconscious should neither be accepted nor rejected, but simply, one has to make oneself conscious of what there is inattentive and ii this manner what is inattentive becomes attentive in a natural and spontaneous manner. What is inattentive becomes attentive.
The Revolution of the Dialectic
VWhere am I? Am I in the physical plane? Am I in the astral plane?
The oldest practice in the corpus and the one he never stopped teaching: the question asked by day before anything unusual, the little jump to see whether you float, the retrospective exercise done without moving at the instant of waking. It is done in the vigil so that it repeats itself in sleep, and the result he names for it is not the exit from the body but the awakening of the consciousness.
Initiation is not a matter of theories, but of realities. “Absolutely practical.” The first thing that is needed is to awaken the Consciousness. It happens that human beings during the normal hours of sleep, when they are not in the physical body, they roam around through the Astral absolutely asleep and they concern themselves with the same things of the day. These sleeping people are not of use as initiates. I know hundreds of theosophists and rosacrucians that do nothing but live asleep and even though they pay dues and read books, and show themselves to be authoritarians before others, at heart, they a re nothing but poor sleeping people. So, the first thing that is needed is to awaken the Consciousness, and in order for that there is a necessity to cultivate discernment.
The Elementary Level Perfect Matrimony, 1950 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition
Naturally, the neophyte should jump with the intention of floating, and it is logical, that if they float it is because they find themselves in the Astral World, and then full of happiness they awaken in this world and direct themselves then, to the “Hall of Children,” or to the Gnostic Church, where the Masters teach them, and help. Many times a beautiful sunset, or an encounter with a dead person, or simply any small insignificant detail is sufficient in order for the Chela to asks themselves this question: Am I in the physical plane or am I in the Astral plane?
The Elementary Level Perfect Matrimony, 1950
This exercise is called discernment, and it is necessary to become accustomed to it, practicing it during the vigil so that it is engraved in the subconscious, and acts during sleep. And is this way the moment arrives in which the human being acquires continuous Consciousness, and then he is now an Initiate of the White Lodge. Do you believe that “Maord Maorc” of the third degree is going to be of much use to you? Are these these black magicians of the third degree believing that their little password “arco” is a great thing?
The Elementary Level Perfect Matrimony, 1950 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition
5th Keeping in mind that the soul wanders in all the familiar places or locations during ordinary sleep and that in a state of drowsiness it is occupied in the same trades and toils of the day, you should become accustomed to asking yourselves during the entire day: Where am I? Am I within the body or out of it? Then you will take a little hop with the intention of floating. It is logical that if you float, it is because you are out of the body, and if you do not float, it is because you are still in flesh and bones and continue your path. But, if you manage to float, ask your Inner-Self to take you to the Holy Gnostic Church.
Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in Zodiacal Course
One should ask this question in the presence of something which attracts his or her attention, such as a crowd of people, a funeral procession, a strange object, etc. Many have awakened their consciousness with this formidable clue, because on asking this question, they floated in the air and realized that they were out of the body and that the body had been left asleep in bed. “It is because the soul wanders when the body sleeps.” But the soul can come out of its unconscious drowsiness with this clue. During the day, you should become accustomed to this exercise so that it be recorded in the subconscious and act, during sleep.
Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in Zodiacal Course
In the astral, you will mathematically recognize yourself and at the time of awakening, do not move. Do a retrospective exercise to remember where you have been.
Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in Zodiacal Course
So while his body is asleep in bed, the disciple in the internal worlds will become an invisible help and a worker under the orders of the Universal White Fraternity. Before, the chakras turned from right to left and now with these exercises, they will turn positively like the hands of the clock. These exercises will totally impede him from dreaming again and while his body sleeps, he will be conscious in the internal worlds. That will be the result of these exercises. The conscience of dreams is a remnant of our animal conscience that we once possessed. Animals live a life of pictorial dreams. There will be many who will have difficulty “leaving” in the astral body at will, but by all means the exercises of this lesson of Gemini, will “inevitably” awaken their conscience and so, while their bodies sleep in their beds, they, too, will work consciously in the internal worlds. The important thing is that on awakening, they remember well their astral experience, which “are no longer dreams” but rather “conscious experiences”. To obtain this it is necessary that on awakening, not to move and do a retrospective exercise to remember well all we did white we were out of the physical body, since while every individual’s body is asleep, he is out of the body; those with asleep conscience, “dreaming” and those with awake conscience, “working” consciously.
Zodiacal Course, 1951
Take a little jump with the intention of floating, and if you float it is because your body is asleep in your bed, and you are outside of it. Go then to where your heart carries you, to that person who is absent from you, to your distant child, to your beloved one.
Book of the Virgin of Carmel, 1952
Everything that one does during the day one also does during sleep, and if during the day one accustoms oneself to this practice, during the night you will find yourself doing it in the hours of sleep when the soul is outside of the body. And then, upon asking yourself the question, take a little jump such as the one you did during the day, and your consciousness will awaken. You will float in space and visit distant people, and absent child, a mother who hasn’t had any news, etc. During the hours of sleep the soul is outside of the body. The important thing is that the soul realizes that it is functioning outside of the body, so that it can visit any distant place.
Book of the Virgin of Carmel, 1952
It is not dangerous to come out in the astral body because the entire world comes out in the astral body during sleep. The one who wants to awaken consciousness during sleep, should know the Clue of Discernment.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition
It happens that in the internal worlds we act during sleep in the same manner as in flesh and blood, and if to that we add that there we see everything in the same manner as here in the physical world, we will then comprehend that it is only if we succeed at flying that we will awaken consciousness for us to realize that we are in the astral body.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in The Keys of Astral Travel
This exercise is practiced at every instant during the vigil state before the presence of anything unusual. What is done in the vigil state is repeated during dreaming. If we do this exercise during sleep, the result will be that we will remain floating in the astral body when we jump. Our consciousness will then awaken and full of happiness we shall say, “I am in the astral body.”
The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in The Keys of Astral Travel
Later, during a dream, he awakens his consciousness, then he can say, “I am in my Astral Body.” The consciousness awakens little by little. In this way, the moment in which the disciple will acquire continuous consciousness arrives.
Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957
The Path of High Theurgy allows us to study the Great Mysteries of Life and Death. However, it is necessary to learn how to consciously travel in the astral body. Those who do not as yet have that faculty need to acquire it. A daily, vigorous training is necessary to obtain this faculty. After returning to the body, we awaken in bed. Many students commit the error of moving in their bed at the precise instant of awakening from their normal sleep. With this movement, the astral body becomes agitated and memories are lost. On awakening from his normal sleep, the student of Occultism should not move! He should remain resting, close his eyes and do a retrospective exercise to minutely remember all those places where he was in the astral body, all those words he heard, said, etc. For this kind of investigation, the Mediums of Spiritualism are useless. It so happens that Mediums do not have enough mental equilibrium. Mediums are victims of Tenebrous Entities. The Mental Body is dislocated in Mediums. By this, we mean that the Mental and Astral Bodies of the Medium are dislocated. With these two vehicles in this condition, Mediums do not possess the mental equilibrium, the exact logic that is needed to investigate the causes and effects of Nature. We already know that the Natural Laws are wisely processed. Every effect has its cause. Every cause is the effect of another Superior Cause. Often times, we have listened to many unbalanced individuals who say that they communicate with Entities from Beyond! Usually, those subjects are Mediums. It is necessary to know that the Investigator of the Superior Worlds should possess a fault less mental equilibrium. The true Investigator is profoundly analytical and vigorously exact. We are mathematical in Investigation and very demanding in expression.
Esoteric Treatise of Theurgy, 1959
We will reveal a Clue precisely to awaken consciousness in the Astral, during the time of normal sleep, in the Superior Worlds. EXERCISE: During the vigil state, in each instant during the hustle and bustle of daily life, we need to get accustomed to the exercise of “discernment.” When a student sees, for example a beautiful sunset with all its purple colors, the most logical thing that should be done is to ask oneself: Am I in the Astral Body? Am I travelling out of the Physical Body?
Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition
Next, try taking a small jump, a hop upwards, with the intention of floating. If he manages to float it is because he is in the Astral Body. It is because he left his Physical Body sleeping in bed, inactive, although with all its vital faculties.
Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959
Therefore, the small jump solves the problem and if one floats in the Astral, consciousness awakens. Every detail, everything worthy of curiosity, every beautiful view of Nature, should be a reason for the student to ask that question and to execute the hop.
Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959
Later, he returned happily to his Physical Body, He introduced himself through the pineal gland, which is the window of Brahma, to the seat of the Soul as Descartes says. Rest assured that with the Clue here revealed, innumerable, are the disciples who have managed to awaken consciousness in the Internal Worlds. The important thing is to practice it constantly, during the vigil state, so that it may be recorded in the Subconscious and acts automatically during sleep.
Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959
To achieve the former statement we recommend that every time you come across other people, events or unusual things that call your attention, discern and ask yourself: Am I within my physical body or within my astral body? Then perform a little jump in order to see if you can float; if you can float, it is because you are in the astral body; if you do not float, it is because you are in the physical body. Within the internal worlds we act as if we are in the body of bones and flesh, as if we were physically awakened. There is no difference between these two worlds, between the physical and the astral. (Read The Thousand and One Phantoms by Alexandre Dumas).
Aztec Christic Magic, 1973 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition
What we usually perform during the vigil state we also perform during the slumber state. Therefore, if during the day you practice the former key, that is, to perform a little jump in order to be sure in which of your bodies you are wandering in, then during the night when you leave your bed within your astral body you will also jump but you will remain floating within space while your physical body remains asleep in your bed. Thus you will attend beautiful rituals and classes where the Great Masters teach within the Gnostic temples that exist within the Jinn state in various parts of this country and the world. Unarguably, the secret teachings of the Nahuas are common to all people from the most remote antiquity. Amongst the Hungarian legends there is mention of “monolithic people” whose indescribable characters are similar to those that exist on a gigantic bolder lost in a remote valley of Yucatan, Mexico.
Aztec Christic Magic, 1973
During sleep, the ego escapes from the physical body. This departure of the ego is necessary so that the vital body can repair the physical body. In the internal worlds we are able to affirm that the ego takes its dreams there, to the internal worlds. In the internal worlds the ego occupies itself with the same things that fascinate it in the physical. Thus, during his sleep we see the carpenter in his carpentry shop, the policeman guarding the streets, the barber in his barbershop, the blacksmith at his forge, the drunkard in the tavern or bar, the prostitute in the house of pleasures, absorbed in lust etc., etc. All these people live in the internal worlds as if they were in the physical world. During sleep it does not occur to any living being to ask whether they are in the physical or astral world. Those who have asked such a question during sleep have awoken in the internal worlds. Then, with amazement, they have been able to study all the marvels of the Superior Worlds. Only by becoming accustomed to asking ourselves this question from moment to moment during the so called vigil state can we manage to ask such a question of ourselves in the superior worlds during the hours given over to sleep. Clearly, while we are asleep we repeat everything that we do during the day. If during the day we accustom ourselves to asking this question, then this, during nocturnal sleep, whilst outside the body will lead to us repeating the same question to ourselves. The result will be the awakening of consciousness.
The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Identification
The human being who is fascinated does not remember himself. We must self-remember from moment to moment. We need to Self-Remember in the presence of every representation that could fascinate us. Let us pause before every representation and ask ourselves: Where am I? Am I in the physical plane? Am I in the astral plane? Then give a little jump with the intention of floating in the surrounding atmosphere. It is logical that if you float it is because you are outside the physical body. The result will be the awakening of consciousness. The object of asking this question in each moment is so that it becomes engraved in the subconscious, so that it may manifest later during the hours given to sleep, hours when the ego is really outside the physical body. You should know that in astral, things appear just as here in the physical plane. During sleep, and after death, people see everything there in a form so similar to the physical world, that because of this they do not even suspect that they are outside the physical body. No dead person ever believes himself to have died; he is fascinated and profoundly asleep. If, during life, the dead had made a practice of remembering them selves from moment to moment, if they had struggled against the fascination of the things of the world, the result would have been the awakening of consciousness. They would not dream. They would walk in the internal worlds with awakened consciousness. Whoever awakens consciousness can study during the hours of sleep all the marvels of the superior worlds. Whoever awakens the conscious ness lives in the superior worlds as a totally awakened citizen of the Cosmos. Then he lives with the Great Hierophants of the White Lodge.
The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Identification, The Perfect Matrimony
It is urgent to know how to meditate profoundly and then practice what we learned during the hours of sleep. It is necessary not to move at the time of awakening because with this movement the astral is agitated and the memories are lost. It is urgent to combine the retrospective exercises with the following mantram; RAOM - GAOM. Each word is divided into two syllables. One should accentuate the vowel O. This mantra is for the student what dynamite is for the miner. Just as the miner opens a way through the bowels of the earth with the aid of dynamite, so also, the student opens a way to the memories of the subconscious with the aid of this mantra.
The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in The Perfect Matrimony
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.
The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)
Only then does he discover that, which before he dreamed of. Only then does he come to know that which is called Love. This awaken ing is similar to that of the man who, being far from the physical body in the astral body, realises that he has awakened conscious ness. People walk asleep in the astral. When someone realises that he is dreaming and then says, “This is a dream, I am dreaming, I am in the astral body, I am outside my physical body”, the dream disappears as if by magic and then the individual is awake in the astral world. A new and marvellous world appears before he who before was dreaming his consciousness has awakened. Now he can know all the marvels of nature. So also is the awakening of Love. Before that awakening we dream about Love. We take those dreams as reality believe we are loving, live in a world of passions, romances, occasionally delicious, disillusionments, vain oaths, carnal desires, jealousies etc., etc., and believe that this is love. We are dreaming and we ignore it.
The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Jealousy
Upon observing a place, we should never forget the matter of the seven dimensions of nature; it is convenient, therefore, to ask ourselves: “In what dimension am I? Then, it is necessary, in the way of verification, to take the highest possible jump with the intention of floating in the surrounding atmosphere. It is logical that if we float it is because we are outside of the physical body. We should never forget that when the physical body sleeps, the Ego with the Lunar Bodies and the Essence within, unconsciously ambulates like a somnambulist in the Molecular World.
Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967
After becoming accustomed to this exercise, to this Division of Attention into three parts, to these questions, to this little jump, etc., many Gnostic students ended up practicing the same exercise during the sleep of the physical body, when they were really in the superior worlds and when they made the famous experimental jump, they floated delightfully in the surrounding atmosphere; they then awoke Consciousness, they then remembered that the physical body had remained asleep in the bed and full of joy they were able to dedicate themselves to the study of the mysteries of life and death in the superior dimensions.
Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967
It is logical to say that an exercise that is practiced from moment to moment daily, that becomes a habit, a custom, is recorded so much in the different zones of the mind that afterwards, it is automatically repeated during dreaming, when we are really outside of the physical body and the result is the awakening of Consciousness.
Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967
During the period of Cancer, our Gnostic disciples should practice, before falling asleep in their bed, a Retrospective Exercise of their own life, like someone who is watching a movie from the end to the beginning, or like someone who reads a book from the end to the beginning, from the last to the first page.
Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967
It is necessary to arrive in a retrospective manner at our birth and remember it. A superior effort will permit the student to connect his Birth with the Death of his previous physical body. Drowsiness combined with Meditation, with the Retrospective.
Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967
It is urgent to comprehend that whosoever wants to learn how to Consciously Travel within the Double, the first thing that he needs to do is to awaken his Consciousness (read chapter 11).
The Solar Bodies, 1968
Astral Projection is no longer a problem when the Consciousness Awakens. Sacred Scriptures insist on the necessity o Awakening, but people continue with their Consciousness Asleep.
The Solar Bodies, 1968
Before the internal supersensible representations, the Neophyte begins to react in a very distinct, very different manner than usual. He begins saying, “I am dreaming. This is a dream.” Later, happily he exclaims, “I am out of my physical body, my physical body is asleep but I am out of my physical body totally cognizant and awake.”
The Solar Bodies, 1968
The meditation upon this phrase was enough for Meng Shan. When later Wan Shan interrogated him with the same phrase, that is to say, when he repeated to him the same question, the yellow skinned mystic answered by throwing away the mattress of his bed, as if he was saying: I AM ALREADY AWAKENED!
Runic Magic, 1969
Many are complaining that they cannot willingly go in the Astral Body. Let these people awake their consciousness.
Runic Magic, 1969
Achieve a still and silent state of mind. Go to sleep thinking of the figure of the Holy Eight (infinity), making an outline upon the heart in accordance with the previous description. Allow the aforementioned figure to submerge itself within your consciousness, then place the mind in a blank state, without thinking of anything. Thus, after a certain period of time: “you will awaken consciousness in tha t region called the Astral World”.
Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978
“As soon as I had some drowsiness I came down off of my seat. The Hua Tou (that is to say the word ‘WU’) accompanied me while I walked, while I prepared the bed or the food, when I took the spoon or when I put aside the chopsticks. It was with me all the time, in all my activities, day and night.
Parsifal Unveiled, 1970
He advised us never to move in bed at the exact instant of awakening, explaining to us that with such a movement the astral body is agitated, and the recollections are lost. It is unquestionable that during the hours of sleep the human soul travels outside the physical body; it is important not to forget our intimate experiences when returning to the body.
The Three Mountains, 1972
In this manner, if we accustom ourselves to practicing such an exercise here in the physical world, from instant to instant and from moment to moment, we will instinctively repeat it afterwards, during the hours of sleep and the result will be the awakening of consciousness; then we will be able to see, hear, touch and palpate everything that we have been saying in these talks regarding hell, the devil and karma.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
Whoever awakens from a dream can continue with it intentionally, if desiring to do so. In this case, he must go back to sleep and re-live that dream experience with imagination. We must not imagine that we are imagining. Fundamentally, we should re-live the dream in its full and crude reality.
The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition
Repeating the dream intentionally is the first step towards the awakening of the Consciousness. The voluntary separation from the dream, in plain action, is the second step.
The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974
9. I would like to remember my past lives but, since I have the consciousness asleep, I cannot. In what way can I awaken it?
Beyond Death
When the student wakes up from sleeping he should not move… Practice a retrospective exercise in order to remember your internal experiences; where you were, where you went in the astral body, what you did, what you saw, etc., etc., etc. This exercise must be carried out daily, without ever tiring of it. You shall be able to see and hear the great inner realities.
Esoteric Course of Kabbalah
Next, carefully observe all your surroundings. Look well at the sky with inquisitive eyes, and at the details of the inner worlds; at times a dramatic interplay of strange colors, at times some strange animal, the ghost of a deceased loved one, etc. These things will confirm to you that you are outside of the physical body, at that time the consciousness will awaken. In those moments of reflection and self-remembering, it is also very useful to take a small jump with the intention of floating in the surrounding atmosphere. It is logical that if we float it is because we are outside of the physical body. If during the dream state the sleeping person asks himself similar reflective questions, it is logical that he will awaken consciousness. If after death the “Ego” asks itself similar questions in the presence of any image or representation, it would awaken instantly. Unfortunately, it does not occur to the “Ego” to ask such questions, because never in life did it become accustomed to do so. It is necessary to take up this habit and live it intensely. It is only in this way that asking ourselves such questions—while dreaming and after death—can occur to us. The result of such a practice is the awakening of consciousness. All those who awaken consciousness become clairvoyant. All those who awaken consciousness live, during the sleep of the physical body, completely awake in the superior worlds. The Great Masters do not dream.
Esoteric Course of Kabbalah also in Identification
It is indispensable that our Gnostic brothers concern themselves about awakening. It is required that they truly dedicate themselves to the dissolution of the Ego, of the “I”, of the Myself, of the Oneself, may this be their main concern. As they die in themselves, the Consciousness will become more and more objective and the possibilities of dreaming will diminish progressively.
The Fifth Gospel The Intimate Need to Not Project Excursion – Alameda Park, Mexico City
Meditation is indispensable for comprehending our psychological errors. When one understands that one has this or that error or defect, he can afford to eliminate it, just as I taught it in my work entitled The Mystery of the Golden Blossom. To eliminate this or that error, this or that psychological defect, is equivalent to eliminating this or that psychic aggregate, this or that subjective element, within which exists the possibilities of dreaming or projecting dreams.
The Fifth Gospel The Intimate Need to Not Project Excursion – Alameda Park, Mexico City
Upon waking up physically in the morning, after your sleep, one must remain still in one’s bed, not move, because with any movement the psyche of the person, of the individual, is agitated, and the memories are lost; to be still in one’s bed, and then practice a retrospective exercise to remember meticulously the places where one walked, the people with whom one spoke, the state in which one was – whether asleep or awake– outside the physical body, etc. The very memories that he will be obtaining, will be indicating to him if he is awakening or if he is not awakening and to what degree he is awakening. One goes on realizing it by oneself, through one’s own effort.
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Discipline for Awakening Interview – Mexico City – 1970
You have seen perfectly that, many times, one dreams about events that have happened during the day. It can also happen that one is very worried and one dreams about the same worries at night. Well, using precisely this aspect of the mind, it is advisable to practice this exercise intensively. Once one gets used to it, once one gets accustomed to it, it is afterward automatically repeated during the hours of sleep and then the result is the awakening of the Consciousness. Because if one practices this exercise when one is outside the body, obviously, the result is the awakening of the Consciousness, because upon making the small jump, one floats and awakens. But one has to really get used to this exercise in the wakefulness state so it is repeated automatically during sleep.
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Discipline for Awakening Interview – Mexico City – 1970
It is clear that one lives in those regions as one lives here, in the physical world; and if in those instants he does the experiment, well then the result is the awakening of the Consciousness. Once one awakens, one goes to any place on Earth. One can go to the Temples of Mysteries, one can invoke ineffable beings, talk with them face to face, receive direct instructions from the Great Masters, etc. What were you going to tell me, brother?
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Discipline for Awakening Interview – Mexico City – 1970
I consider awakening indispensable, first of all, because when one is awake, the problem of astral projection disappears immediately.
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Discipline for Awakening Interview – Mexico City – 1970
Many complain that they cannot travel in the astral world at will. When one awakens consciousness, astral travel ceases to be a problem. The asleep are not good for anything! In this work of the Revolution of the Dialectic, I have delivered the science that is needed to achieve the awakening of consciousness. Do not commit the error of reading this book like someone who reads a newspaper. Study it profoundly during many years, live it, take it into practice.
The Revolution of the Dialectic
IWhoever awakens consciousness can no longer dream
The first mark of the awakened, and he gives it as a test rather than a promise. The one who has awakened cannot dream — not here and not out of the body — and where a man still dreams, whatever else he has, he has not awakened.
When everything goes well, the rigid ceiling of thought breaks and the light and the power of the consciousness enters like a flood into the mind which has stopped dreaming. Then in the physical world and outside of it, during the sleep of the physical body, we live totally conscious and enlightened enjoying the happiness of life in the superior worlds.
Christmas Messages, 1952–66
The soul travels throughout the superior worlds when the body sleeps. We stop dreaming when the consciousness awakes. Then we live in the internal worlds in a state of intensified awareness. This is what is called “continuous consciousness”.
The Aquarian Message, 1960
When the student enjoys continuous consciousness, he no longer dreams; he can no longer dream, because his consciousness is awakened. Then, even when the physical body is sleeping, he moves himself consciously in the superior worlds.
Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957
Whoever awakens consciousness can no longer dream; here in this physical plane, or in the internal worlds. Whoever awakens consciousness stops dreaming. Whoever awakens consciousness be comes a competent investigator of the superior worlds. Whoever awakens consciousness is illuminated. Whoever awakens conscious ness can study at the feet of the Master. Whoever awakens conscious ness can talk familiarly with the Gods who initiated the dawn of creation. Whoever awakens consciousness can remember his innumerable reincarnations. Whoever awakens consciousness can consciously attend his own cosmic initiations. Whoever awakens consciousness can study in the temples of the Great White Lodge. Who ever awakens consciousness can know in the superior worlds how his Kundalini is developing. Every Perfect Matrimony must awaken the consciousness to receive guidance and direction from the White Lodge. In the superior worlds the Masters will wisely guide all those who really love one another. In the superior worlds the Masters give to each one that which he needs for his internal development.
The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)
We need to transform the subconscious into conscious, to stop dreaming, to awaken consciousness.
The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)
He who has awakened is incapable of dreaming. While his physical body sleeps in bed, he lives in the inner worlds in a state of intensified vigilance. Such people are authentic enlightened seers.
The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)
The human being not only dreams when his physical body is asleep, but also dreams when his physical body is not asleep, when he is in the waking state.
Fundamental Education, 1970
It is necessary to stop dreaming, to awaken consciousness, and that process of awakening should begin at home and at school.
Fundamental Education, 1970
The man who is sleeping and dreaming believes that he awakens merely by returning to the waking state. However, in reality, during this waking state he continues dreaming.
Fundamental Education, 1970
A moment, an instant, of forgetfulness is enough to begin dreaming beautifully.
Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967
The awake person no longer dreams; during the rest of the body, he lives in those regions where people wander dreaming, but with his consciousness awake.
Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967
It becomes pathetic and evident to comprehend in depth that while the consciousness continues bottled up within the pluralized ‘I’, not only will we sleep, but even worse, the consciousness will sometimes have the bad taste of dreaming of being awakened.
Runic Magic, 1969
To dream? No!... It has been long time since I stopped dreaming... Those who awake their consciousness do not dream anymore...
Parsifal Unveiled, 1970
Sacred scriptures from Hindustan solemnly assert that the whole world is Brahma’s dream. Having this Hindu postulate as a base, let us emphasise that “when Brahma awakens, his dream ends.”
The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974
One needs to cease dreaming in the internal worlds. When we stop dreaming in the physical world, we awaken here and now, and that awakening appears in the internal worlds.
Dissolving the I, 1964
“Man is known by his dreams”, said Plato in his book. I have studied the work of Plato in two volumes and it seems wonderful to me. Really, the life of the dreams is very important, because the dreams of each one tell what each one is. Blessed be the day when we stop dreaming, when all those “cockroaches” that we carry in the brain turn to dust, when all those absurd incoherences no longer exist, when all those amorphous, fatuous, imprecise, tasteless, insubstantial, odorless states have no existence of any kind. Blessed be the day when we no longer dream, when we stop dreaming! When a man stops dreaming, he has triumphed.
The Fifth Gospel The Serious Damages of Mental Representations Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 1977
The truly Enlightened One has no dreams; dreams are for the ones who are asleep. The truly Enlightened One lives in the superior worlds, outside the physical body, in a state of intensified wakefulness, without ever dreaming. The truly Enlightened One, after the death of the physical body, is awake in the psychological space.
The Fifth Gospel The Serious Damages of Mental Representations Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 1977
The time has come to go to the bottom of this matter, and I think the most important thing is to stop dreaming. Dreams, in reality, are only mere projections of the mind and, therefore, they are illusory, they are no good. Precisely, it is the Ego that projects dreams and, obviously, those dreams are useless. We need to transform the subconscious into the conscious; we need to radically eliminate not only dreams, but the possibility of dreaming. It is unquestionable that such a possibility exists as long as there are subjective elements within our psyche. We need a mind that does not project, we need to exhaust the process of thinking. The “projective mind” projects dreams and these are vain and illusory.
The Fifth Gospel The Danger of Mental Effigies Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 1977
But he who lives awake no longer dreams. No one could live awake without having died in himself, without having annihilated the Ego, the “I”, the Myself. That is why I want all the brothers to be concerned about the disintegration of the Ego, because only like this, by disintegrating that terrible legion, can they remain radically awake.
The Fifth Gospel The Intimate Need to Not Project Excursion – Alameda Park, Mexico City
When the Essence begins to liberate itself, at the beginning, the Seminal Pearl that the Tao speaks to us about is formed. Then, the first flashes of awakened Consciousness begin to emerge. Such flashes, such conscious bursts of light surge in those hours in which the physical body is asleep in bed, that is, while we live in those subtle worlds which the various esotericist writers tell us about. One begins to realize that one is outside the physical body, that one no longer belongs to the physical world, even though one has a physical body. It is obvious that during sleep, all the Egos, the Essence, are outside of the physical body, but people then dream and nothing else; and they dream because they have the Consciousness asleep. When the Consciousness begins to awaken, dreams disappear, and when one is wide awake, one can no longer dream.
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Meaning of the Golden Embryo Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1971
She reflected a little and withdrew. This is what those who are asleep are like in the astral world, and also in the world of the mind. When one awakens, those dreams end, and one sees things as they are, not as they apparently are.
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Meaning of the Golden Embryo Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1971
What is important in us is to awaken consciousness to stop dreaming, to stop thinking. This thinking, which is cosmic matter, is the mind. Even the Astral itself is nothing but the crystallization of mental matter and the physical world is also condensed mind. In this manner, the mind is matter and is very gross, whether it be in a physical state or in a state called astral-manasic, as the Hindus say. In any case, the mind is gross and material, both in the astral as well as in the physical.
The Revolution of the Dialectic
IIWhen one has the Consciousness awake, one can see, hear, touch and feel the great realities of life and death
What the awakened one perceives. The world as it is rather than as we are told it is; the seven dimensions instead of three; the memory of previous lives; the mysteries of life and death by direct experience — and the plainest of his reasons for wanting any of it, that an awakened man is no longer the victim of circumstances.
35. The one who awakens the absolute consciousness stops existing and passes on to the BEING.
Christ Will, 1959
Whosoever has awakened the consciousness lives awake in the Superior Worlds.
The Aquarian Message, 1960
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.
The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)
In these moments, the Great White Lodge is intensely occupied with the awakening of human consciousness. The Adepts struggle in tensely to teach the human being to leave at will in the astral body. They want people to awaken, and all that goes against this great law is a crime. The whole objective of the descent of Spirit into matter is to create Soul, and to become self-conscious of itself. When we direct mental power towards the interior of our own intimate centre, the resistance that we will find internally will cause a reaction, and the more vigorous the centripetal force that we apply, the more vigorous will be the resulting centrifugal force. Thus we create Soul. Thus we invigorate the embryo of the Soul, and finally one day, when we have already been born as Serpent Rirds, we will come fletely absorb and assimilate within our astral body, the totality of the Soul.
The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)
If someone was to awaken, this individual would feel tremendously ashamed of himself; he would immediately comprehend his buffoonery, his ridiculousness. This life is frightfully ridiculous, horribly tragic, and rarely sublime.
Fundamental Education, 1970
The awakening of consciousness initiates the development of the spatial sense and the experience of that which is real.
The Buddha's Necklace, 1967
When he is in a state of awakened consciousness, the initiate has taken a formidable step, but unfortunately is still troubled by the monistic idea. He is incapable of cutting all those subtle threads, which link him to certain things, to certain damaging effects. He has not arrived at the other shore. When the initiate cuts the ties, which, in one form or another, bind him to the illuminated consciousness, he arrives at perfect illumination, at the illuminating Void, free and entirely without any substance.
The Buddha's Necklace, 1967
We have to awake the consciousness with with the blessed flame of love. We have to love, so as to reach happpiness.
Christ Consciousness, 1952
Our consciousness must awake in ever higher planes.
Christ Consciousness, 1952
The person with awake consciousness, lives, works, acts consciously in the superior worlds while his body rests in his bed.
Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967
The awake person is in contact with the White Lodge, he visits the Temples of the Great Universal White Fraternity, and interviews with his Guru-Deva while his body sleeps. Inner Self-Remembering from moment to moment, develops the Spatial Sense and then, we can even see the dreams of people who walk the streets.
Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967 also in Identification
The Spatial Sense includes sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, etc., in itself. The Spatial Sense is the functionalism of the awake consciousness.
Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967
The development of Spatial Sense is only possible once the Consciousness is awakened. The clear perception of the Superior Dimensions of Space is only possible with the “awakening of the Consciousness.”
The Solar Bodies, 1968
Putting all doubts aside, we can emphatically affirm that only the Initiates with awakened consciousness could understand the strange phrases and the mysterious enigmas of the Sibyl of Cumae.
Runic Magic, 1969
If people could awake consciousness, then, they could converse face to face with the Nymphs of the boisterous ocean.
Runic Magic, 1969
If these poor people could have their consciousness awake, then they could evidence their error, they would comprehend that they did not beget themselves alone, that they have a father and a mother, and that there was a coitus which gave them life.
Runic Magic, 1969
If these poor people could have their consciousness awake, then they could verify for themselves that as above so below, and vice versa. They would directly experiment with their crude reality, they would be perfectly aware of the lamentable state in which they are in. Thus, they would comprehend the necessity of the Maithuna in order to build their Solar Bodies, the Wedding Garment for their souls. This is how they would achieve the Second Birth, which the great Kabir Jesus spoke about to the Rabbi Nicodemus.
Runic Magic, 1969
Atman unfolds into Buddhi, and Buddhi into Manas, just as if we were to see ourselves in a mirror, and then the Trinity comes into being. The Essence is an unfoldment of Superior Manas, that Essence being in turn trapped in the “ego.” The awakening of that Essence is the awakening of consciousness; is to become conscious of the Mysteries of Life and Death. Many want to awaken consciousness, but in a given moment, abandon the work. Due to this, the Maithuna was never communicated to anyone before awakening consciousness. The Christmas Message 1968-69 contains the Runes for awakening consciousness.
Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978
Consciousness that sleeps, how different you would be if you would awake. You would know the seven paths of happiness, the light of your love would shine everywhere, the birds would rejoice within the mystery of their forest, the light of the Spirit would shine and joyfully, the elementals from Nature would sing for you their verses of gold.
My Return to Tibet, 1969
The awakened ones who are intent on meditation, who delight in the peace of renunciation, such mindful perfect Buddhas even the gods hold (most) dear.
Parsifal Unveiled, 1970
Only by the emancipation and consequent awakening of the Essence, does Enlightenment come.
The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971
These miraculous powers are simply the natural products of true Illumination and are possessed by awakened men; those who have created the "Golden Embryo" in the "Flaming Forge of Vulcan" (Sex).
The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971
At that moment of plenitude, I self-observed wholly. It is a fact that my psyche is not subjective; I was born with an awakened Consciousness and have access to objective knowledge...
The Three Mountains, 1972
Before anything else, my dear friends, I want you to learn to handle practically the diverse sparks of awake consciousness.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
Unquestionably, when one manages to possess 4 or 5% of awake consciousness, there begin the first sparks of direct experience.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
The humanoid machine because of the very fact that it is a machine dreams but it ignores that it dreams, it denies that it dreams, it firmly believes that it is awake and it would never accept the thesis that it is asleep.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
Awake consciousness allows us to experience reality directly.
The Great Rebellion, 1975
The language of the consciousness is symbolic, intimate, profoundly significant and only those who are awake can understand it.
The Great Rebellion, 1975
If people were awake, each one would feel his fellow men in himself.
The Great Rebellion, 1975
Thus, little by little, the moment arrives in which consciousness remains completely free, awake, and ready to take the great leap and fall into the Illuminating Void, which is the antechamber of the Great Reality.
For the Few, 1980
Only the awakened one can understand the Christic Mysteries.
Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983
By awakening the consciousness we can all prove the Law of the Eternal Return. We have systems, methods to awaken the consciousness; the person who is awake can remember all of his past lives. For those who remember their past lives, the Law of the Eternal Return is a fact.
Beyond Death
The Great Masters are conscious citizens of the suprasensible worlds. The Great Masters work consciously and positively in the superior worlds while their physical bodies are sleeping. It is necessary to awaken consciousness in order to not wander about blindly. The blind can fall to the Abyss. Arcanum 16 is very dangerous.
Esoteric Course of Kabbalah
Do you think that you know the world, have you ever seen it as it is? You are mistaken. The day you awaken the Consciousness, you will see that the world is not as you believe it is. This world has seven dimensions, but you have seen only three and are complete fanatics of the three-dimensional dogma of Euclid. The one who awakens the Consciousness, sees the world truly as it is, and not as it apparently is.
The Fifth Gospel Analysis of the Human Psyche Public Lecture – 1977
It is urgent, my dear friends, that we self-explore, and that we begin the work of the dissolution of the “I”. When we achieve it, you will see how different we will be. An awakened Consciousness will turn us into true sacred individuals, into conscious individuals.
The Fifth Gospel Analysis of the Human Psyche Public Lecture – 1977
So, those of us who are here, undoubtedly, lived in the past and now we are alive. In a remote past, possibly in one of the past centuries, we were also alive. What happens here, is that nobody can remember their past existences, if they have not first awakened their Consciousness. By awakening the Consciousness, we confirm the concrete fact that it is not the first time that we exist, that we already existed in the past and in past ages, and in ancient ages as well. When one returns, when one comes back to the world, one naturally forgets the past existence, but that does not mean that we have not had a past existence.
The Fifth Gospel Analysis of the Human Psyche Public Lecture – 1977
That is why I say: we must disintegrate the actors of each comedy, of each drama and of each tragedy; they are within ourselves. If we disintegrate them, only the awakened Consciousness remains in us, the sacred, enlightened individual, with full knowledge of the mysteries of life and death.
The Fifth Gospel Analysis of the Human Psyche Public Lecture – 1977
Now you will understand why we emphatically affirm that we have the Consciousness asleep. It is clear that the Consciousness buried among Myself, buried among all these devil “I’s” that we carry in our psyche, lies asleep; we are not awake.
The Fifth Gospel Magic and Experimental Psychology Public Lecture – 1976 also in Identification
If we were awake, we could all see, hear, touch and feel the great realities of the superior worlds. We are sleeping people, unconscious, we do not know where we come from, where we are going to, or what is the purpose of our existence.
The Fifth Gospel Magic and Experimental Psychology Public Lecture – 1976
Awakening is therefore necessary, but how? When Jesus took the seven demons out of Magdalene’s body, she remained awakened and recognized the Son of Man. Why? Because her Consciousness remained free. It turns out that since the Consciousness is stuck, yes, stuck among the “I’s”, it is not free, it is conditioned by its own bottling. But if that Consciousness manages to get out of the “I’s”, it is free, and then it can see the truth. And Jesus said: “Know the truth and it will make you free.” You do not know the truth. If you knew it, you would already be free.
The Fifth Gospel Magic and Experimental Psychology Public Lecture – 1976
The interesting thing is to work daily until there is not even one, not even a single defect. If one succeeds, he will remain awake. And the one who remains awake can change the body at will. I, for example, can leave this body and enter another body at will. Why? Because, simply, my Consciousness woke up. I worked very hard in ancient eternities in order to achieve the awakening of the Consciousness. And that is a huge advantage: to walk awake, to know where one comes from, to know where one is going, what exists before birth, what is beyond death.
The Fifth Gospel Chaotic Consciousness and Intelligent Consciousness Public Lecture – Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico
We have to comprehend that we are asleep. If people were awakened, they could see, touch and feel the great realities of the Superior Worlds. If people were awakened, they would remember their past lives. If people were awakened, they would see the Earth just as it is. Currently, they are not seeing the Earth just as it is.
The Fifth Gospel The Exercise of SELF-KNOWLEDGE
If we self-know, we discover our errors, and if we discover them, we eliminate them, and if we eliminate them, we awaken, and if we awaken, we get to know the mysteries of life and death, we get to experience that which does not belong to time, that which is the truth.
The Fifth Gospel The Exercise of SELF-KNOWLEDGE
To have the Consciousness awaken is something extraordinary, wonderful. When one has the Consciousness awake, one can experience the truth directly, right here and now. When one has the Consciousness awake, one can see, hear, touch and feel the great realities of life and death. When one has the Consciousness awake, one can remember one’s previous lives. When one has the Consciousness awake, one can directly experience that which is real.
The Fifth Gospel The Precariousness of the Human Psyche lst International Meeting of Hermetic Culture – Guadalajara. Jalisco, Mexico – October 28. 1975
We carry profound darkness within us, but as those “I’s” disintegrate, light shines in darkness. Light always defeats darkness. When the darkness that we carry inside us is destroyed, only light will remain in us. Then we will be enlightened. Then, awaken and enlightened, we can see for ourselves the mysteries of life and death. Then, awaken, we can hear the harmonies of the infinite Cosmos. Then, awaken, we can penetrate in the atom and in the Cosmos, know the mysteries of the vile worm that crawls in the mud of the earth and the mysteries of the galaxy in which we live.
The Fifth Gospel The Organization of our Inner World Public Lecture – 1975
Awaken! Yes, this is wonderful! All of you would like to see, hear, touch and feel the great realities of the superior worlds, but you sleep. How could one reach the experience of the real if they have the Consciousness asleep? But if one destroys the Ego, the Consciousness awakens and then it knows the real.
The Fifth Gospel The Wonders of Awakened Consciousness Public Lecture – 1975 also in Identification
If the human being was awake, he would know about himself and about the universe. He would know about all that is, all that has been and all that will be. He would know himself profoundly and know his previous existences. He would be prepared to explore not only in the world of physical science, but also in the superior dimensions of nature and the cosmos. He could clearly and precisely demonstrate that the mechanic of nature could not exist without mechanicians, that nature’s engineering could not exist without engineers. Saying this is one thing, but having Consciousness of it is something else, completely different.
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Rebellion Against Inner Blindness
And, what would we say about the Consciousness? Do you have Consciousness? I think you do, don’t you? But you have it asleep! If you had it awake, you would know by direct experience about the mysteries of life and death. But you do not know why you were born or when you were born. You were told that you were born in such year, on such date, but that was because you were told. But where were you before you were born? Can any of you tell me where you were before you were born? Clearly not!
The Fifth Gospel The Consequences of Psychological Plurality Public Lecture
It seems incredible, but there are Masters of the Great White Lodge, true Gnostics in the transcendental sense of the word, radically awakened, absolutely self-realized –in alchemical language we would say: “people who already have the Precious Gem in their possession”– and, nevertheless, they do not know how to read or write; absolutely illiterate, but undoubtedly self-realized and awakened.
The Fifth Gospel Psychic Associations that Lead to Awakening Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975
In the past, humanity lived according to a certain principle that allowed it to preserve the body until the moment in which it had fabricated the Superior Existential Bodies of the Being. But in that age, humanity was fulfilling its cosmic duty. What is the cosmic duty? To always live awake!
The Fifth Gospel Psychic Associations that Lead to Awakening Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975
Master: Well, I will tell you: the intellectualism of mechanical people is nothing more than articulated memory or talking memory. Another thing is the living wisdom of the awakened man. The awakened man no longer uses reasoning, he is no longer a chatterbox. When he speaks of something, he speaks with full Consciousness, he chooses the terms that he has to use at will in order to clothe the transcendental ideas of the Being.
The Fifth Gospel Psychological Foundations of the False Personality Third Chamber – Mexico City
Master: Marconi was brilliant, no doubt about it! But whether he was a man of awakened Consciousness, it is something which we still do not know. It is very difficult to find men with awakened Consciousness, because today there are brilliant men in the field of technology, physics and chemistry, but that does not mean that they are awakened.
The Fifth Gospel Practical Solutions Against Collective Hypnotism Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976
That mystical self-image of an awake man will consequently or as a corollary originate the perfect image of a noble citizen. His circumstances will also be beneficial in every sense, he will be a golden link in the great universal chain of life. He will be an example for the entire world, a fountain of joy for many beings, an enlightened one in the most transcendental sense of the word, someone who will enjoy continuous and delightful ecstasy.
The Revolution of the Dialectic
On what do I base myself to affirm this? On the awakened consciousness! Have I evinced it? Yes, I have! And if you accept the doctrine of reincarnation, so much the better. Obviously, I was reincarnated in that race and since I am awake, I cannot forget the evolving and involuting processes of the same. That is why I give testimony before you, knowing that you are asleep, but I should deposit all those data that you need in order for you to awaken.
The Revolution of the Dialectic
38. To feel that which one ought to feel, to feel that which no one understands, to feel that which is unaware of the one who feels it, to feel that which is not worth the sorrow to feel, is, in reality, to be awake.
The Science of Meditation
IIIWhen the consciousness moves on to occupy the place of the subconscious, we acquire that which is called continuous consciousness
His names for the finished thing, and they are four: continuous consciousness, self-cognizance, objective consciousness, and the superlative consciousness of the Being. They are rungs and he counts them in percentages — ten per cent would end the wars, fifty is the sacrificed Adept, and one hundred belongs to the Resurrected.
We have known others who only sporadically awaken consciousness, from time to time. Those persons are nothing but mere beginners in these matters. What is important is to possess continuous consciousness in the astral plane; that is why we have given exercises and clues in this book.
The Greater Mysteries, 1956
Positive clairvoyance is possessed only by the souls who live awakened in the suprasensible worlds. Indeed, those who possess continuous consciousness, whether out of their body when it is asleep or inside it when it is awake, are always in the state of watchfulness. They are positive clairvoyants. They possess continuous consciousness.
Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957
Illuminated Intellection. This faculty is a characteristic of the Superman. There are three types of consciousness. First; simple consciousness. Second; individual selfconsciousness. Third; cosmic consciousness. The animals have the first, the intellectual animal called man, the second. The Gods have the third. When cosmic consciousness is born in man, he feels internally as if the Fire of the Serpent were consuming him. The flash of Brahrnãnic Splendour penetrates his mind and his consciousness, and from that instant he is initiated into a new and superior order of ideas. The Brahmanic delight has the flavour of Nirvana.
The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)
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 crystallisation through supreme efforts, to make one self conscious in a total and definitive way.
The Book of the Dead, 1965
We need self-conscious authority figures. Understand self-consciousness to mean integral self-knowledge, complete knowledge of all our inner values.
Fundamental Education, 1970
Only he who truly possesses complete knowledge of himself is awake in an integral way. That is what it means to be self-conscious.
Fundamental Education, 1970
If we want to arrive at self-consciousness, we need to know ourselves in an integral way.
Fundamental Education, 1970
Objective knowledge cannot be acquired without objective consciousness.
Fundamental Education, 1970
Students must first reach self-consciousness and then objective consciousness.
Fundamental Education, 1970
These founders of religions possessed continuous consciousness; they were great enlightened men. Normally, people are not conscious of themselves. The illusion of being conscious in a continuous way arises from one’s memory and all of one’s thought processes.
Fundamental Education, 1970
In ordinary life a human being knows nothing about selfconsciousness, and far less about objective consciousness. Nevertheless, people are arrogant, and everyone believes himself or herself to be self-conscious. The intellectual animal firmly believes that he has consciousness of himself, and under no circumstances would he accept being told that he is asleep and that he lives unconscious of himself.
Fundamental Education, 1970
Four states of consciousness exist: dreaming during the waking state; dreaming while the physical body is asleep; self-consciousness; awakened objective consciousness.
The Buddha's Necklace, 1967
It is impossible to have objective knowledge as long as we have not attained selfconsciousness. People dream while they live and work; nevertheless, they mistakenly believe they are awake. During the normal dream state of the physical body, the ego, enveloped in its body of desires, sleepwalks through the molecular region, dreaming. On returning to the physical body and then to the waking state, the individual continues his dreams. Whoever awakens consciousness no longer dreams but awakens in the internal worlds while the physical body sleeps.
The Buddha's Necklace, 1967
The BUDDHI is our superlative consciousness. The Buddhic body is our Spiritual Soul. He who achieves the awaking of the Cosmic consciousness becomes an ineffable God. The Cosmic consciousness awakes with CHASTITY, with pain, with music, and with Meditation.
Christ Consciousness, 1952
Whoever manages to Awaken then becomes Self-Conscious, acquires Consciousness of Himself.
Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967
There exist four states of Consciousness: Dream, Vigil Consciousness, Self-Cognizance and Objective Consciousness.
The Solar Bodies, 1968
The first type of Enlightenment is Awakened Consciousness, Self-Cognizance.
The Solar Bodies, 1968
The second type of Enlightenment (even when in the Fourth Way) is called Objective Knowledge, Objective Consciousness indeed, it transcends that which is called Consciousness.
The Solar Bodies, 1968
Joyfully, I advanced towards the place of prostrations and adorations. Here, there, and everywhere, in all the blessed places of the temple, a multitude of humble and simple men were coming and going, who rather were resembling submissive and obedient peasants. They were the Boddhisattwas of the Gods, they were men in the most complete sense of the word, creatures who enjoy of the objective knowledge, who are one hundred per cent Self-conscious.
Runic Magic, 1969
The sense of serenity transcends that which is normally understood as calmness or tranquility. It implies a superlative state which is beyond reasoning, desires, contradictions and words. It signifies a situation which is beyond mundane noise. The sense of reflection in itself is beyond what is always understood as contemplation of a problem or idea. Here this word does not imply mental activity or contemplative thought, but rather a type of objective consciousness, clear and reflective, always illuminated within its own experience.
Runic Magic, 1969
Self-Cognizance? This is a different faculty and I have it because I am very well dead... Objective Consciousness? It is obvious that if I would not have it, I could not inform my beloved readers about life in the superior worlds...
Parsifal Unveiled, 1970
Obviously such tapes, in the manner of living movies, certainly correspond to all the scenes of desire, to all the lustful actions of this life and all our previous lives and if they are not radically disintegrated, then 100% of objective consciousness cannot be achieved, because within them is trapped part of our consciousness.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
Unfortunately, many people think that this matter of awakening consciousness is an easy thing and constantly write to me complaining about not yet coming out of their body astrally, protesting because after some months they still do not have powers, demanding immediately the capacity to live in a lucid and full manner out of the physical body, etc., etc. Usually those who begin our studies are in search of powers, and when they do not transform themselves into omnipotent individuals immediately, then they find the subjective path of spiritism or they affiliate themselves with diverse schools of a subjective psyche with the purpose of instantly obtaining the coveted psychic faculties. Full objectivity implies radical destruction of all that is inhuman that we carry within, annihilation of subconscious atoms, absolute death of the double infrahuman nature, radical pulverization of all the memories of desire.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
The second of such advantages leads us onto the path of varied direct experiences, to the total verification of each and every one of the affirmations that we made in these talks. Integral illumination, luminous living, practical confirmation is the modus operandi of the freed, awake, self-conscious essence.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
As consciousness continues awakening, the possibilities of direct experience become more lucid and continuous each time.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
Question: Master, do you mean that there is no possibility of direct experience, as you have explained in your talks, without the dissolution of the psychological defects? Answer: I will answer in detail this question that comes from the audience. Sir, friends, ladies that are listening to me, direct experience is found associated with the percentages of awake consciousness.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
Let us distinguish between sparks and total plenitude which are different. Someone who possesses for example 10% of awake consciousness will therefore have a greater percentage of lucidity than those who possess 4 or 5%.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973
The asleep machine, the humanoid automaton is very far from being able to comprehend the difference between objective consciousness and subjective consciousness; the machine has its own thesis precisely based on the profound sleep of the consciousness. It is not possible in any manner to make an asleep profane person comprehend the difference between consciousness and subconsciousness, between objectivity and subjectivity, between sleep and vigil, etc.
Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973 also in Identification
The one who truly awakens attains, as an outcome, full objectivity of his or her consciousness, authentic enlightenment happiness.
Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975
The greater the quantity of disintegrated “I’s,” the greater the degree of self-cognizance. The lesser the quantity of disintegrated “I’s,” the lesser the percentage of awakened Consciousness.
Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975
As long as the superlative consciousness of the Being continues to be bottled in the myself, in my own concepts and subjective theories, it is absolutely impossible to directly know the harsh reality of natural phenomena in ourselves. The key to nature's laboratory is held in the right hand of the Angel of Death.
The Great Rebellion, 1975
But, very well, let us return to this matter of the Bodhichitta. What is the Bodhichitta? The consciousness already awakened, developed, and converted into the golden embryo. It is the true silver-plated armor that can protect us from the powers of darkness, and which gives us sapience and experience.
For the Few, 1980
What is important is that we pass through a supreme annihilation, so that the consciousness, converted into Bodhichitta, and totally awakened, can take the great leap in order to fall into the Illuminating Void. One more step, and we arrive at the Tality.
For the Few, 1980
Sophia is the objective reasoning of the Being, the awakened Consciousness.
Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983
During the Nineteenth Century and part of the Twentieth Century, the various Adepts who sacrificed themselves for humanity enjoy fifty percent of awakened Consciousness.
Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983
Only the Resurrected Adepts possess one hundred percent of awakened Consciousness. The psychic aggregates multiply themselves within the intellectual animal. Thus, logically speaking, they steal the Light from him.
Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983
Continuous Awakened Consciousness is acquired when our consciousness occupies the place of the sub-consciousness.
Dissolving the I, 1964
But as long as the Consciousness continues to be bottled up among that multiplicity of persons that we carry within us, we will know nothing about ourselves.
The Fifth Gospel The Organization of our Inner World Public Lecture – 1975
Who is a Master of Samadhi? It is someone who enjoys a continuous Consciousness, someone who achieved the stillness and silence of his mind in a perennial way.
The Fifth Gospel The Serious Damages of Mental Representations Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 1977
Master: I have clearly said that with a three percent of awakened Consciousness, no one can become a competent investigator of what happens in the psychological space. People need, first of all, to increase the percentage of Con- 5 This term used by the V.M. Samael refers, within the hermetic tradition, to the binomial comprised of the reasonings of the mind –nous-and the perceptions provided by the senses. The reader must know that for the Greeks, nous had two interpretations: a superior one, as divine thought, and a common one, as human thought.
The Fifth Gospel The Serious Damages of Mental Representations Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 1977
It is one thing to walk in the hypersensitive worlds with the objective Consciousness, that is, awake, and another thing to walk there, in those regions, in a subjective, subconscious state, projecting dreams. You see what a great difference there is between the one who wanders through those regions projecting dreams and the one who lives there without making projections, with fully awake, enlightened Consciousness, in a state of super-exalted vigilance. Obviously, the latter is truly an Enlightened One and he can, if he so wishes, investigate the mysteries of life and death, know all the enigmas of the Universe.
The Fifth Gospel The Intimate Need to Not Project Excursion – Alameda Park, Mexico City
Do not forget that between the Consciousness and the Being, there is not much distance, understand? As there are three aspects of life: the Being –Sat, in Sanskrit–, the Consciousness –Chit– and happiness –Ananda–. But the real Consciousness of the Being –which is not very far from the Being himself– is bottled among all that multiplicity of psychic aggregates that personify our errors and that we carry inside us.
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Psychology of False Feelings Third Chamber – Mexico City – May 4. 1977
And as the different psychic aggregates disintegrate, the Essence, the Buddhata, is liberated; and when all the aggregates have been reduced to cosmic dust, the egoic consciousness disappears and only the clean Consciousness of the Being, the original pristine Consciousness, remains.
The Fifth Gospel Work Taste and Life Taste Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976
When one has awakened Consciousness and has truly opened the objective reason, and the objective reason or inner mind can serve as an instrument to the Consciousness, then, the Enlightenment of the Being is absolute and it surpasses all the chakras, it goes beyond the chakras, one enters the terrain of the Superman, of the Buddha, of the Enlightened Buddha.
The Fifth Gospel Work Taste and Life Taste Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976
We need to take possession of ourselves if we want to be kings and priests of nature according to the Order of Melchizedek. And we will not be able to take possession of ourselves as long as the Consciousness continues to be bottled up within the various undesirable elements of the psyche.
The Fifth Gospel Didactics for Buddhist Annihilation Conference at the end of the Missionary Course – Guadalajara, Jalisco. Mexico – From June 15 to August 30. 1976
The process of awakening begins with the Seminal Pearl. But that Pearl is not formed, it must be formed, and it forms with the first percentages of Essence that tend to escape or unbottle upon destroying the first “I’s”.
The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Meaning of the Golden Embryo Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1971
That phrase: “Don’t do to others what you don’t want done to yourself”, could be translated like this: “Make yourselves conscious of the others, that is, of your fellow man and of yourselves.” And that other one: “Love one another as I have loved you”, could be translated like this: “Make yourselves conscious of others and of yourselves.” “Love God above all things and your neighbor as yourself” can be translated as: “Make yourself conscious of the Divinity within you, and of the neighbor, and of yourself.”
The Fifth Gospel The Transvalorization of the Esoteric Work Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975
I already said: to love others we really need to have Consciousness. Love and Consciousness are the same thing. Consciousness is love. If one does not have consciousness of others, obviously, one is not loving others. One has to become conscious of others. And how would one become conscious of others if one has not become conscious of oneself? One must begin by becoming conscious of oneself, before becoming conscious of others.
The Fifth Gospel The Transvalorization of the Esoteric Work Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975
When a psychological “I”, whether of anger, whether of hate, etc., is disintegrated, the Consciousness, bottled up there, is also emancipated, liberated; then comes the awakening. Normally, people have three percent of awakened Consciousness, but if we work upon ourselves, if we eliminate all those “I”- persons that dwell inside us, we will elevate our percentage of Consciousness little by little.
The Fifth Gospel The Verticality of Existence First Gnostic Youth Encounter – Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico – July 10. 1975
If people had at least ten percent awakened Consciousness, we could say that, indeed, the wars on the face of the Earth would disappear forever. If people were to have fifty percent awakened Consciousness, the Earth would be a paradise. Now, to reach one hundred per cent awakened Consciousness is only a matter for Initiates, for supermen such as Moses, Buddha Gautama, the Christ, etc.
The Fifth Gospel The Verticality of Existence First Gnostic Youth Encounter – Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico – July 10. 1975
We need to make ourselves conscious, self-conscious of our own thoughts, of our own feelings and of the effects that other human beings produce in us. When one comprehends the necessity to become self-conscious, he will then be dissolving the factors of conceit and vanity, as well as those of jealousy and worries. A transformation is processed. Obviously, this would lead us to the awakening. That would be fundamental, awakening is radical.
The Fifth Gospel Psychological Foundations of the False Personality Third Chamber – Mexico City also in Jealousy, Pride
If one does not eliminate within himself the elements of unhappiness, he will never be happy. How can one be happy if one carries unhappiness inside? If someone wants to be enlightened and enjoy a continuous awakened Consciousness, then that someone has to eliminate the subjective elements of perceptions. What are they? That heterogeneous multiplicity of undesirable elements that we carry inside us. Through them we see, hear, touch and feel; thus, our perceptions are limited, conditioned by those elements. By breaking them completely, a total, complete, unitotal, perfect Enlightenment will appear.
The Fifth Gospel Transcendental Logical Foundation of the Inner Work Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1975
Each time a percentage of the buddhic Essence is released, in fact, and in its own right, the percentage of Consciousness increases. And this way, as we progressively break down the psychic aggregates, the percentage of awakened Consciousness will progressively multiply, and when the totality of the psychic aggregates is reduced to ashes, the Consciousness will also be totally awakened.
The Fifth Gospel The Power of Intuition of the Psychological Man Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 22, 1977
If we have broken down only fifty percent of the undesirable inhuman psychic elements, we will possess, obviously, fifty percent of objective, awakened Consciousness. But if we manage to break down one hundred per cent of the undesirable psychic aggregates, we will achieve, in fact, and in its own right, one hundred per cent of objective Consciousness. So, based on incessant multiplications, our Consciousness will be shining more and more, that is obvious. Achieving absolute awakening is what we want, and it is possible to achieve it if we tread the correct path. Otherwise, it would not be possible to achieve it; that is clear.
The Fifth Gospel The Power of Intuition of the Psychological Man Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 22, 1977
These ultramodern people are not interested in the true Consciousness of the Being. They take this false Consciousness of the human personality made up by complexes, traumas, subjective reasonings, false education, etc., for the Consciousness. That is what they take for Consciousness, the false Consciousness of the personality. But the authentic Consciousness of the Being, they reject it, they forget it, they cast it aside, they leave it in a corner; it does not have the least importance to them.
The Fifth Gospel Particularities of Objective Reason Conference – Mexico City – 1975
When the consciousness moves on to occupy the place of the subconscious, we acquire that which is called continuous consciousness.
The Revolution of the Dialectic
The one who enjoys continuous consciousness lives consciously at every instant, not only in the physical world but also in the superior worlds.
