Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

Imagination, Inspiration, and Intuition are the three obligatory steps of the Initiation. We are going to examine each one of these three steps separately.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

64. Imagination, inspiration, and intuition are the three obligatory paths for the Initiation. 65. We reach these three ineffable heights by means of concentration, meditation and Samadhi.

Igneous Rose, 1954

Imagination, inspiration and intuition are the three obligatory ways for the Initiation. Thought, feeling and will power must be totally liberated from the physical body. To learn how to consciously travel in the astral body is indispensable.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

Imagination, inspiration and intuition are the three obligatory steps of initiation. First images appear; and ultimately we penetrate into a purely spiritual world. Every clairvoyant needs initiation. Clairvoyance without esoteric initiation leads the student into the world of delinquency. It is urgent to receive cosmic initiation. If a clairvoyant penetrates into the subconscious of nature, he will be able to read all of the past history of the earth and its races. He will also find his most beloved relatives.

The Yellow Book, 1959

Of all our ritual prayers the most powerful is the Our Father. This is a magical prayer of immense power. Imaginations, Inspiration, Intuition are the three obligatory paths of initiation.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

Imagination, inspiration, intuition are the three obligatory paths of initiation. We are going to examine each one of these levels separately.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

It is written that the clue of comprehension is found in these three psychological keys: imagination, inspiration and intuition.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

Obviously, there are three phases in the initiatory knowledge: first, imagination; second, inspiration; third, intuition. Imagination, inspiration, intuition are the three mandatory paths of Initiation.

The Fifth Gospel 1B The Power of Conscious Faith Second Chamber – Mexico City – 1977

Thus, imagination, inspiration, intuition are the three steps of Initiation.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Secret Functionalisms of the Enlightened Mind Conference given to Gnostic students – 1975

Master: Inspiration... Well, the best Initiates say that there are three steps that lead to Initiation: imagination, inspiration and intuition. It is clear, all brothers are full of inspiration, there is no one who does not feel inspiration, but one thing is inspiration and another thing is the objectivization of Consciousness.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Intelligent Assimilation of Impressions

Imagination, Inspiration, and Intuition are obligatory steps of the Initiation. Whosoever has raised these three steps of direct knowledge has reached supraconsciousness.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

Imagination, Inspiration and Intuition, are the three obligatory steps of the Re volution of the Dialectic. Whoever has followed the three steps of Direct Knowledge has achieved Supraconsciousness.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

Those that climb the three steps of imagination, inspiration and intuition can see the ancient Jerusalem (the ancient earth) and the future Jerusalem (the future earth that will come after the great cataclysm).

The Aquarian Message, 1960

Whosoever has risen through the three steps of imagination, inspiration and intuition has awakened in the internal worlds. Every Initiate, while out of his physical body, can ask to his Master to show him the future Jerusalem and the things which must shortly be done. What is necessary is to abandon laziness and to perform the practices of imagination, inspiration and intuition which take us towards the Initiation.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

Answer, be sincere with yourselves, place your hand over your heart, ask your Divine Mother Kundalini for advice, and answer with sincerity. Have you Self-realized yourself? Will your theories or doctrines convert you into angels? What have you gained? What have you obtained from the many theories and doctrines? Never in the history of the centuries has anyone been known to have christified himself without the Perfect Matrimony, without the seminal transmutation, and without the help of the Divine Mother Kundalini. With Her, you can raise the three scales of imagination, inspiration, and intuition, so that you can enter into the Celestial Jerusalem that follows the Great Cataclysm.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

If the student practices with tenacity and supreme patience, his own internal Being will teach or instruct him in the work. Then he will study at the feet of the Master, will be elevated to intuitive knowledge. Imagination, Inspiration and Intuition are the three obligatory Paths of Initiation. He who has ascended the three steps of direct knowledge has attained supra-consciousness.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Let us begin with Imagination.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

59. This first stage of knowledge belongs to ‘imaginative’ knowledge.

Igneous Rose, 1954

First, the Gnostic student must elevate himself into imaginative knowledge.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

For sometime the student will train with imagination, afterwards with inspiration, and later on with intuition.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

Imaginative knowledge grants us the power to consciously and positively travel in the etherial body. When the student has achieved imaginative knowledge, then he can start the exercises for inspirational knowledge.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

Whosoever awakens consciousness has reached Imaginative Knowledge. This one moves in the world of symbolic images.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

Whoever awakens consciousness has reached Imaginative Knowledge and moves around in a world of symbolic images.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

Meditation which is exact awakens the internal senses and produces a total transformation of the internal bodies. He who awakens conscious ness has attained imaginative knowledge. He moves in the world of sym bolic images.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

The World of Imaginative Kno wledge is a world of symbolic images.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

When the student reaches Imaginative Knowledge, he sees the symbols but he does not understand them. He comprehends that all of nature is a living scripture that he does not know. The student needs to elevate himself into Inspired Knowledge in order to interpret the sacred symbols of Great Nature.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

Those images which were previously seen when one dreamt, are now seen without dreaming. Before they were seen in the sleeping conscious ness, now one moves amongst them with consciousness in a state of wakefulness, even though the physical body maybe deeply asleep. Upon attaining imaginative knowledge, the student sees the symbols but does not understand them. He understands that the whole of nature is a living scripture that he does not understand. He needs to elevate himself to inspired knowledge in order to interpret the sacred symbols of Great Nature.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Upon reaching Imaginative Knowledge, the Gnostic sees the symbols but does not understand them..., be comprehends that all of nature and the ego are a living writing that be does not know. He then needs to rise to Inspired Knowledge in order to interpret the sacred symbols of nature and the abstract language of the ego.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

But imagination, in itself and by itself, is nothing more than the first step. A second more elevated step takes us to inspiration. The faculty of inspiration allows us to talk face to face with every particle of elemental life, the faculty of inspiration allows us to feel in ourselves the palpitation of every heart.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Secret Functionalisms of the Enlightened Mind Conference given to Gnostic students – 1975

Let us imagine for a moment, again, the exercise of the rose bush. If, after everything, if we want to know something more after meditating on its birth and death –the logs and the petals of the flower having disappeared– we need inspiration. The plant was born, it bore fruit, it died, and after all that, what? Then, we need inspiration to know what is the meaning of that birth and of that death of all things.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Secret Functionalisms of the Enlightened Mind Conference given to Gnostic students – 1975

Finally, beyond the faculty of imagination and of inspiration, we have to reach the heights of intuition.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Secret Functionalisms of the Enlightened Mind Conference given to Gnostic students – 1975

Intuition is something different. Let us go back to the rose bush of our example. Undoubtedly, with the process of imagination, during the transcendental and transcendent esoteric exercise, we have seen the processes, we have seen how the rose bush grew, how it bore fruit and, finally, how it died and became a pile of logs. Inspiration will allow us to know the meaning of all that, but intuition will take us to the spiritual reality of that. Then we will penetrate with that precious superlative faculty into an exquisitely spiritual world. We will meet face to face not only with the elemental seen with imagination –the elemental of the rose bush–, but even more, we will meet with the virginal Spark or the divine Monad or supreme igneous Particle of the rose bush. We will penetrate a world where we will find the creator Elohim, mentioned by the Mosaic or Hebrew Bible; we will see the entire creator host of the Army of the Word, that is to say, we will find the Creator Demiurge of the Universe.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Secret Functionalisms of the Enlightened Mind Conference given to Gnostic students – 1975

136. Our mind vibrates with waves of discernment among the imaginative pictures. 137. Discernment is direct perception of the truth without the process of conceptual selection.

Igneous Rose, 1954

17. Whoever wants to be claivoyant must put an end to reasoning and accustom himself to see all things with the imagination.

Manual of Practical Magic, 1954

76. Comprehension and imagination must replace reasoning.

Igneous Rose, 1954

77. Imagination and comprehension are the foundation of the superior faculties of the understanding.

Igneous Rose, 1954

Reasoning is replaced by comprehension and objective imagination, which become the foundation for the superior faculties of understanding.

1977 - The Mayan Mysteries

Really, when the imagination is agitated by the tempests of reasoning, the starry heaven of the spirit becomes clouded. The clairvoyant then takes the shadows for reality itself. When clairvoyant bodhisattvas fall, they are worse than demons. The fallen clairvoyant bodhisattva believes he is omnipotent and powerful; he becomes conceited. He confuses things, takes the shadows for reality itself. He slanders the great Masters.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

Imagination, inspiration, intuition are the three mandatory paths of Initiation. But if we remain bottled up exclusively in the noustical-sensorial4 functionalisms of the intellectual apparatus, it will in no way be possible to go up the steps of imagination, of inspiration and of intuition.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Secret Functionalisms of the Enlightened Mind Conference given to Gnostic students – 1975

Let us leave each faculty in its place, in orbit, let us not take it out of its orbit. We need to think psychologically, and it is obvious that we must flat-out reject the leaven of the Sadducees and of the Pharisees and learn to think psychologically. This would not be possible if we continue bottled up within the intellect. Then it is better that we start going up the ladder of imagination; subsequently, we will move on to the second step, which is that of inspiration and, in the end, we will reach intuition.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Secret Functionalisms of the Enlightened Mind Conference given to Gnostic students – 1975

If you want to really reach Enlightenment one day, the perception of what is real, the complete knowledge of the mysteries of life and death, you will need to unquestionably go up the marvelous steps of imagination, inspiration and intuition. Mere rationalism could never lead you to these intimate, profound experiences.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Secret Functionalisms of the Enlightened Mind Conference given to Gnostic students – 1975

For the wise, to imagine is to see. Imagination is the translucence of the soul.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

14. For the sage, to imagine is to see.

Manual of Practical Magic, 1954

For the wise, to imagine is to see. Imagination is the translucence of the Soul. The important thing is to learn to concentrate thought in one single thing. He who learns to concentrate thought upon one single thing does marvels and prodigies.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

For the sage, to imagine is to see. The imagination is the translucence of the soul. In order to achieve the imagination, one needs to learn to concentrate the mind on a single object. Whoever learns to concentrate the mind on a single object performs marvels and prodigies.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

The imagination is clairvoyance itself; to imagine is to see.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

Another one of the serious errors that attack all those who submit themselves to esoteric discipline is to undervalue imagination. We have learned that imagination is translucence: it is the mirror of the soul; it is divine clairvoyance. For the devotee, to imagine is to see. When the frontal chakra begins to rotate, the images that become translucent become brilliant, splendorous and luminous. The devotee must distinguish between imagination and fantasy. Imagination is positive. Fantasy is negative, detrimental and harmful for the mind because it could lead us to hallucinations and madness.

The Yellow Book, 1959

Unquestionably, directed imagination is conscious imagination. For the sage, to imagine is to see. Conscious imagination is the “translucence”; the firmament, the mysteries of life and death, the Being, the real, are reflected in it.

The Fifth Gospel 1A The Precariousness of the Human Psyche lst International Meeting of Hermetic Culture – Guadalajara. Jalisco, Mexico – October 28. 1975

While in the state of ‘Manteia’ (ecstasy), the Initiates can contemplate their resplendent Intimate, face to face, before the mirror of Eleusis. Another marvelous mirror exists within the human being. The Gnostic Medic must learn how to use this mirror by means of interior profound meditation... This mirror is the imagination. For the wise ones, to imagine is to see. The imagination is clairvoyance itself The imagination is the mirror of the soul. It is the translucence through which we perceive the images from the astral light.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

Creative imagination is the translucent, is the terrific mirror of the soul. Well developed, with ideal efficiency, through exact esoteric rules, undoubtedly, it allows us to verify exactly, to verify what I am stating here in an emphatic way.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Secret Functionalisms of the Enlightened Mind Conference given to Gnostic students – 1975

Thus, I invite you clearly to the superlative analysis of all this. I invite you to develop that cognitive faculty always known as “imagination”. It is an extraordinary faculty.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Secret Functionalisms of the Enlightened Mind Conference given to Gnostic students – 1975

The imagination of the human being was an ineffable mirror in which the panorama of the starry heavens of Urania was solemnly reflected. The human being knew that his life was the life of the gods. The one who knew how to play the lyre was shaking the divine fields with his delectable melodies. The artist who was handling the brush inspired himself with the eternal wisdom. He gave to his delicate sculptures the tremendous majesty of God.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

The astral images reflected in the magical mirror of imagination can never be translated literally, for these are only the symbolic representation of archetypal ideas. They must be utilised in the same way as a mathematician uses algebraic symbols.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

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

Everything which the human multitudes perceive, imagine or dream, have a real existence within the ordinary space called MAHAKASHA or Elemental Space.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

These Angels of Death have to cut the silver cord and their intervention is always sensed by those who are dying. Once this work is done, the Angel withdraws and the soul of the deceased continues living in the same environment. However, we have to declare that an irresistible fluidic attraction continues existing between the soul and the body after death. Commonly, the souls of the dead that are attracted by their physical bodies, which are in the process of decomposition, inundate the graveyards or cemeteries. This is why cemeteries have a horrible appearance before the sight of the exercised clairvoyants. The deceased ones mold the astral part of their tombs by means of their imagination. Thus, they give to their tombs the aspect of bedroonis or hospital rooms. The astral matter is essentially flexible. Therefore, that matter takes any form which the imagination gives it. For example, if you, beloved reader, imagine a hat, then that hat will be converted into a reality in the astral world.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

The inventor who imagines his invention, is really seeing it clairvoyantly. Every invention exists in the internal worlds before appearing in the physical world. All inventions already existed in the internal worlds. The inventor imagines them and then makes them concrete in the physical world. The painter imagines the picture that he will paint. That picture already exists in the internal world.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

Many scientists have said that Nature has imagination, and that imagination is what gives living form to all that is, all that has been, and all that will be.

Fundamental Education, 1970

The imagination of a woman during pregnancy is fundamental for the development of the fetus. It has been proven that with her imagination, every mother can alter the psyche of the fetus.

Fundamental Education, 1970

Bearing in mind the power of creative imagination, it is logical to affirm that during her pregnancy a woman should not contemplate anything displeasing to the senses, anything disagreeable, inharmonious or filthy etc. The time has come in which governments should be concerned with solving the important problems related to maternity.

Fundamental Education, 1970

Here the "OB" is the passive magnetic fluid very wisely governed by the intelligent faculty known as creative imagination.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

Creative imagination allows one to verify for oneself that the Earth is not a dead organism, something rigid, a physical crust devoid of life. Creative imagination allows one to know by oneself that the Earth is a living organism.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Secret Functionalisms of the Enlightened Mind Conference given to Gnostic students – 1975

If you would develop in an efficient way the faculty of imagination, not only could you remember your previous lives, but also you could verify in a specific way what I am expressing didactically here with complete clarity.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Secret Functionalisms of the Enlightened Mind Conference given to Gnostic students – 1975

It is possible to develop imagination. This would take us beyond the sensory mind, this would teach us to think psychologically. We already said –and we repeat– that only psychological thinking can open the doors of the inner mind for us. If one develops imagination, one can learn to think psychologically.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Secret Functionalisms of the Enlightened Mind Conference given to Gnostic students – 1975

The first of these ethers is found intimately related to the various functions of the will and the imagination.

The Three Mountains, 1972

The luminous ether is related with the caloric, luminous, perceptive, etc., phenomenon. The reflective ether serves as a medium of expression for willpower and imagination. The two superior ethers are disjoined in order to form the Soma Puchicon by means of the Initiation.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

80. Clairvoyance and imagination are the same. Clairvoyance is imagination and imagination is clairvoyance. Clairvoyance exists eternally.

Igneous Rose, 1954

91. The clairvoyance is the imagination. This chakra resides in the middlebrow. 92. The imagination is translucent. For wise individuals, to imagine is to see. 93. The age of reason was initiated by Aristotle. It reached its culmination with Emmanuel Kant and ends now with the birth of the new Era of Aquarius.

Igneous Rose, 1954

13. Clairvoyance is the same imagination.

Manual of Practical Magic, 1954

97. We must answer to them that imagination is the same as clairvoyance and that every human being is more or less imaginative, which means, more or less clairvoyant. 98. The most damage that has been caused to the students of occultism is a result of the false concept that exists about clairvoyance.

Igneous Rose, 1954

104. Poor people! They do not know the treasure which they possess. They ignore that imagination is the same clairvoyance and that every human being is more or less clairvoyant.

Igneous Rose, 1954

106. Clairvoyance is imagination. Clairvoyance is the most beautiful, the most simple and pure flower of spirituality.

Igneous Rose, 1954

115. Therefore, the entire world is more or less clairvoyant. Imagination cannot be despised because all things are children of the imagination.

Igneous Rose, 1954

123. Therefore, imagination belongs to all the planes of the universal consciousness. Clairvoyance is precisely the same imagination with the susceptibility of development, evolution and progress within the igneous rose of the universe.

Igneous Rose, 1954

119. We do not deny the existence of clairvoyance. Clairvoyance is the sixth sense. Its chakra resides in the middlebrow and has ninety six rays. What we want is to increase this concept and to make the student to comprehend that the other name for clairvoyance is imagination. People have forgotten how to use and control divine clairvoyance. It is necessary for our students to know that imagination is actually clairvoyance or the sixth sense situated in the middlebrow.

Igneous Rose, 1954

120. Many people believe that imagination is purely a mental faculty and that it has nothing to do with the clairvoyant frontal chakra.

Igneous Rose, 1954

99. The creators of this false concept are the ‘intellectuals’ who have observed the faculties of the imagination with scorn.

Igneous Rose, 1954

100. Wanting to defend themselves from this intellectual despise, the occultists began to give a scientific tinge to the imagination and the name of clairvoyance or sixth sense was given to it.

Igneous Rose, 1954

102. Now, the occultists (who are victims of the intellectuals) have established a terrible abyss between clairvoyance and imagination.

Igneous Rose, 1954

121. This false concept is due to the disdain that the intellectuals feel about the imagination, and to the cunning way through which the occultists want to make a technicality of this beautiful faculty of clairvoyance.

Igneous Rose, 1954

Many people laugh at imagination, and some even call it the “madman of the house”.

Fundamental Education, 1970

Having seen this with clarity, it is advisable that we now delve a little in the question of faculties. The intellect, by itself, is one of the coarsest faculties in the levels of the Being. If we want to turn everything into intellect, we will never reach the apprehension of the cosmic truths. Undoubtedly, beyond the intellect there is another faculty of cognition. I want to refer this time in an emphatic way to imagination. That faculty has been much underestimated, some even give it the pejorative title of “the crazy one of the house”; an unfair title because if it were not for imagination, we would not have this tape recorder, the automobile would not exist, the railway would not exist, etc.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Secret Functionalisms of the Enlightened Mind Conference given to Gnostic students – 1975

The sage who wants to make an invention, will first have to imagine it and then sketch his invention on paper. The architect who wants to build a house, will first have to imagine it and then he will be able to draw it on the blueprint. So, imagination has enabled the creation of all inventions. It is not, therefore, something despicable.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Secret Functionalisms of the Enlightened Mind Conference given to Gnostic students – 1975

108. The intellectual who despises imagination commits a grave absurdity because everything that exists in Nature is a child of imagination.

Igneous Rose, 1954

111. The artist perceives sublime images with his imagination (clairvoyance). He then places them with paint over the canvas or he carves them for his sculpture.

Igneous Rose, 1954

113. When the Mother Goddess of the world wants to give a toy to humans for their entertainment, she then places it in the imagination of inventors. This is how we have the radio, the aeroplane, the automobile, etc.

Igneous Rose, 1954

All those who wish to awaken clairvoyance while undervaluing imagination will fall into the same absurdity as those who wish to practice meditation in the absolute absence of sleep. These people fail to develop their internal powers. These people violate the laws of nature and the inevitable result is failure.

The Yellow Book, 1959

117. Imagination evolves, develops, and progresses within the igneous rose of the universe.

Igneous Rose, 1954

82. When the igneous rose of our astral body (situated in the middlebrow) awakes into new activity, then the images that come internally to our imagination are accompanied with light and colour.

Igneous Rose, 1954

107. When we re-conquer our lost infancy, all the images that come to our imagination are accompanied by vivid astral colours.

Igneous Rose, 1954

118. Those who have already caused the magic wheel of their middlebrow to rotate, possess a rich and powerful imagination and all the images which are perceived by them are accompanied with light, color, heat and sound.

Igneous Rose, 1954

83. It is necessary to learn by direct experience how to differentiate between the images that are received and the images that we consciously or unconsciously create or project. 84. It is necessary to d between our own images and the outer images that come to us. 85. The imagination has two poles, one being a receptor and the other a projector. 86. Receiving an image is one thing. Projecting an image created by our understanding is another thing.

Igneous Rose, 1954

87. The contrary pole of the imagination is imagery.

Igneous Rose, 1954

There are two types of Imagination: Mechanical Imagination (fantasy), and Conscious Imagination (clairvoyance).

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah

Gnostic students must learn how to use Conscious Imagination.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah

One must distinguish between Intentional Imagination and Mechanical Imagination; obviously Mechanical Imagination is the same as Fantasy. The key of power rests in uniting Will and Imagination in Vibrant Harmony.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

There exists much confusion around the word “imagination”, and there are many people who confuse imagination with fantasy. Certain wise men say that there are two kinds of imagination: the first they call mechanical imagination, and the second intentional imagination. The first is constituted by the residue of the mind, and the second corresponds to that which is worthiest and most decent inside of us.

Fundamental Education, 1970

From every angle it is perfectly clear that conscious imagination is radically different from that which is called subjective, infra-conscious, subconscious, mechanical imagination.

Fundamental Education, 1970

Obviously, it is appropriate to make a complete differentiation between what is voluntarily directed imagination and what is mechanical imagination.

The Fifth Gospel 1A The Precariousness of the Human Psyche lst International Meeting of Hermetic Culture – Guadalajara. Jalisco, Mexico – October 28. 1975

Mechanical imagination is different: it is formed with the memory’s rubbish, it is fantasy; it is advisable to investigate it profoundly. Obviously, people with their fantasy or mechanical imagination, do not see themselves the way they are, but according to their form of fantasy.

The Fifth Gospel 1A The Precariousness of the Human Psyche lst International Meeting of Hermetic Culture – Guadalajara. Jalisco, Mexico – October 28. 1975

So, we must not underestimate imagination. There is a strong tendency to underestimate imagination. Everybody says: “Those are things of my imagination. Is it true or is it my imagination?” That is, they do not appreciate the value of the imagination. Let us distinguish between intentional imagination and mechanical imagination. Intentional imagination is the translucence that allows us to see the great realities of the inner worlds. Mechanical imagination is fantasy; it is formed with the debris of the memory. So let us distinguish between imagination and fantasy. Underestimating the imagination is absurd. So we must develop the imagination, cultivate it.

The Fifth Gospel 1B The Power of Conscious Faith Second Chamber – Mexico City – 1977

Is it true that there are several classes of imagination? We cannot deny it. We could call the first one mechanical imagination; that type of imagination is fantasy itself. Obviously, it is constituted by the wastes of the memory; it is useless and it is even harmful.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Secret Functionalisms of the Enlightened Mind Conference given to Gnostic students – 1975

But there is in truth another type of imagination. It is, in reality, intentional imagination, that is, conscious imagination. Obviously, the latter can develop splendidly and give us access to the ultra of all things.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Secret Functionalisms of the Enlightened Mind Conference given to Gnostic students – 1975

The natives of Cancer have a vivid Imagination, but they should be careful of Fantasy. Conscious Imagination is advisable. The mechanical imagination called fantasy is absurd. Cancer people have a soft, shy and timid nature, homely virtues.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

So-called pseudo-clairvoyance is imaginary perception, fantasy, artificially evoked hallucinations, absurd dreams, astral visions that do not coincide with concrete facts, the reading of ones own projected unconscious thoughts in the astral light, the unconscious creation of astral visions interpreted later as authentic realities etc., etc.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

Master: When the representations arise mechanically, it is obvious, they are related to the mechanical imagination. But when they arise intentionally –as in the case cited here by this sister– undoubtedly, then it is the conscious imagination that has been involved to shape the representation.

The Fifth Gospel 1A The Danger of Mental Effigies Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 1977

Master: Well, if you imagine that you are a superman, you imagine that superman already full of power, of majesty, you make a positive representation of yourself, or full of pride, or whatever you want. But if you think of yourself as a black mage, you create a negative representation. One can create with his mind positive or negative representations. It is clear!

The Fifth Gospel 1A The Danger of Mental Effigies Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 1977

Mechanical imagination, how serious! Dreams of fantasy! Sometimes, the one who dreams them remains silent, other times, one talks about them, and other times, one wants to put them into practice.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Imagination as Power, Fantasy as Illness

Continuing, then, with these disquisitions, we clearly see that mechanical imagination or fantasy keeps us very far from the reality of the Being, and this is truly lamentable. People roam the streets dreaming, they go about in their fantasies, they work dreaming in their fantasies, they get married dreaming, they live life dreaming and die dreaming in the unreal world, of the fantasy. They never see themselves, ever; they always see a form of their fantasy. Taking away that form of fantasy from someone is cruel, frightfully cruel, terribly cruel.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Imagination as Power, Fantasy as Illness

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

The abysmal snake through mechanical imagination which is its acting agent — works in accordance with Nature’s interests and maintains us submerged in a state of deep, hypnotic trance.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

The atomic Salamanders of the blood and of sex burn terribly with our animal passions. The atomic Sylphs of our own vital air, when serving mechanical and subjective imagination (do not confuse this one with objective and conscious imagination) play with our lascivious and evil thoughts.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

By means of the mechanisms of fantasy, we always justify our worst infamies, we elude responsibilities, we look for escapes, we indulge ourselves, we consider ourselves to be the best and we believe ourselves to be just and perfect.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

The majority of us ostensibly find such excuses, and it is because of this, under the stubborn and subtle activity of justifying the self with the complicity of mechanical imagination, that, in reality, we would never suspect the innermost existence of these very natural psychological errors.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

It is manifestly clear that alcohol tends to eliminate the capacity for independent thought and calm judgment since it fatally stimulates fantasy. It also shockingly debilitates ethical sense and individual liberty.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

If a man thinks in either a good or a bad sense, the waves that emanate from his mind reach the mental body of each individual. Mental waves are propagated in all places. When the waves are of wisdom and love, they benefit all those who receive them. When the waves are impregnated with devotion and veneration towards God, they carry peace and comfort to all those who are in suffering. Poisonous mental waves harm the minds of others. Mental waves of hatred, envy, covetousness, lust, pride, laziness, gluttony, etc., produce mental epidemics. Perverse mental waves poison many weak minds with their radioactivity. The case of the “rebels without a cause” is a good example of what mental epidemics are. The “rebels without a cause” have become an evil and harmful plague. We should seek the cause of this mental epidemic in the ill-used imagination. Movie theatres show movies of bandits and gunmen that are then recorded in the minds of young people. Parents give their children guns, war trucks, tiny cannons, lead soldiers, toy machine guns, etc., etc., etc.

Introduction to Gnosis Mental Epidemics

It is evident that we would never struggle to obtain individuality if we believe that we already have it. Fantasy makes us believe that we are possessors of individuality and there are even schools in the world that teach it that way.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975

To struggle against fantasy is urgent. Fantasy makes us appear as if we were this or that, when, indeed, we are miserable, shameless and perverse.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975

It is indispensable to fight to death against the fantasy regarding our own selves, if we do not want to be victims of artificial emotions and false experiences. This is because fantasy, besides placing us in ridiculous situations, stops all possibility of internal development.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975

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

Each of us is nothing but a vile worm of the mud of the earth; when I speak in this manner, I begin with myself. To be full of oneself, to have false images of oneself, fantasies of oneself, is to be in inferior levels of the Being.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

We need to free ourselves of the tyranny of the opposites; this is only possible by learning to live from instant to instant without abstractions of any type, without dreams, without fantasies.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

Action without distractions, without evasions, without fantasies, without abstractions of any kind.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

So, in reality and in truth, my dear friends, being full of ourselves, having false images of ourselves, fantasies of ourselves, is not being poor in spirit.

The Fifth Gospel 1B The Destruction of Our Lunar Inheritance Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 1977

There are various forms of fantasy. Unquestionably, one of them consists, precisely, in not seeing oneself the way one is. Few are those who have the courage to see themselves in their crude realism. I am absolutely sure that those present here have never seen themselves the way they are. Their mechanical imagination makes them mistake the cat for a hare.

The Fifth Gospel 1A The Precariousness of the Human Psyche lst International Meeting of Hermetic Culture – Guadalajara. Jalisco, Mexico – October 28. 1975

In their mechanical imagination or fantasy, they see themselves in a way that does not match reality.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Imagination as Power, Fantasy as Illness

If I truthfully told each one of you, those who are present here, how you really are, what your specific psychological characteristic is, I am absolutely sure that you would feel hurt. It is clear that you have a mistaken concept about yourselves, you have never seen yourselves, your form of fantasy makes you see yourselves as you are not.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Imagination as Power, Fantasy as Illness

In the name of truth, I could tell you that, there is only one person here who has seen himself just as he is; not more than one, among all those present here. One. The others, all have a fantastical images about themselves; their form of mechanical imagination makes them see themselves not as they are, but as they seemingly are.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Imagination as Power, Fantasy as Illness

Look at the lady who gets ready in front of the mirror, who applies make-up on the bags under her eyes, who brushes her eyebrows, who puts on some enormous artificial eyelashes, who colors her lips red, etc. Look at her dressed in the latest fashion, see how she looks at herself in the mirror, in love with herself! She is convinced that she is very beautiful. If we told her that she is frightfully ugly, she would be hurt in her vanity, and fatally. She has a terrible fantasy, her form of fantasy makes her see herself as she is not, it makes her see herself extraordinarily beautiful.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Imagination as Power, Fantasy as Illness

Few are those who have the courage to undress before themselves to see themselves just as they are. Each one has projected some form of his fantasy on himself, and thereby, he has never seen himself, nor reality, and that is terrible, frightful.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Imagination as Power, Fantasy as Illness

When one delves profoundly into what life is, he discovers that, frankly, he has not seen the world as it really is. He has seen it through the forms of his fantasy and nothing more.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Imagination as Power, Fantasy as Illness

There are various forms of fantasy, naturally. Therefore, each one of those present here has what we could call a fantasy-I, a fantasy-person that does not coincide with reality. Your fantasy-person has existed since the beginning, it exists now and it will exist tomorrow, and you are convinced that this person of your fantasy is the reality, and it turns out that it is not; therein lies the seriousness.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Imagination as Power, Fantasy as Illness

Well then, I tell you that what you have always known, what you believe you are, does not exist; that is a fantasy of yours. This takes a lot of effort, to accept what I am telling you, it proves to be frightfully difficult.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Imagination as Power, Fantasy as Illness

It is worth being honest with ourselves. It is simply about knowing ourselves, if we truly want to manifest the Being that we carry within ourselves. If we truly aspire that someday the reality and nothing but the reality remains in us, without any atom of fantasy, we need to be sincere and have the courage to break ourselves apart, to break this fantasy-I, this fantasy-person that does not exist, that the others know that it does not exist, but that one believes that it does exist.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Imagination as Power, Fantasy as Illness

Obviously, it is the fantasy that has humanity immersed in the state of unconsciousness in which it finds itself. As long as fantasy exists, the Consciousness will continue to be asleep.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Imagination as Power, Fantasy as Illness

Continuing here with these disquisitions, thinking out loud in order to share with you, we will say that, as long as one does not dissolve these forms of fantasy, one will remain very far from the Being. But as one eliminates more and more all the forms of fantasy, the Being will be manifesting within oneself more and more each time.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Imagination as Power, Fantasy as Illness

It is difficult to see oneself as one is. Normally, one sees oneself as one is not, one sees oneself the way one thinks he is, in accordance with one’s fantasy. This is where one has to begin to break the fantasy. When one has truly seen oneself as one is, in his crudest reality, he normally suffers a terrible disappointment in himself, a dreadful disappointment –how awful!–. Then, he is left with the consolation of wisdom. If one puts an end to mechanical memory and establishes the work-memory, one eliminates the fantasy, because there is fantasy in the mechanical memory.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Imagination as Power, Fantasy as Illness

This is how mechanical memory is: it is of no use. And the thing is that there is fantasy in the mechanical memory. Mechanical memory and fantasy are very much linked.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Imagination as Power, Fantasy as Illness

How to control fantasy? There is only one way to control it: by means of the memory of the work. If mechanical memory makes us see our life as it was not and as it has not been, by means of the work, we dissect our own life and discover it as it is.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Imagination as Power, Fantasy as Illness

Then, what does this mean? That the memory which we retain after the work is done, allows us to control the fantasy, to eliminate it, and to eliminate it radically.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Imagination as Power, Fantasy as Illness

I repeat, how do you control fantasy? There is only one way to control it: the work-memory. Are we honest with ourselves? We work to eliminate from ourselves the undesirable elements, and as we eliminate them, we are going to discover an order in the work. But who can establish that order in the esoteric work? The Being. He establishes that order, and that work-memory allows us to eliminate the fantasy from ourselves. But great courage is needed to be able to break the fantasy-I that one possesses, one’s fantasy-person.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Imagination as Power, Fantasy as Illness

If we, instead of mechanical memory –which is pure fantasy–, establish the work-memory within ourselves, if we work upon ourselves, dissolving the undesirable elements that we have, then obviously, we are acquiring conscious memory, the work-memory.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Imagination as Power, Fantasy as Illness

He who practices the retrospective exercise to review his life, puts an end to the mechanical memory and establishes, within himself, the conscious memory, the work-memory. He who, by means of the retrospective exercise, can remember his previous lives, can end the fantasy. Then he acquires the work-memory.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Imagination as Power, Fantasy as Illness

How to eliminate from ourselves the fantasy, that is, mechanical imagination? Simply, by dissolving first of all the fantasy-I, ending it. We have to start by seeing ourselves as we are and not as we apparently are or as we think we are.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Imagination as Power, Fantasy as Illness

It is thus advisable to eliminate that mechanical imagination, because in no way does it allow us to make esoteric progress.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Imagination as Power, Fantasy as Illness

One must destroy the fantasy. Instead of fantasy, we must have conscious imagination, the directed imagination –fantasy is mechanical imagination–, and instead of mechanical memory, we must have the memory of the esoteric work, the conscious memory.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Imagination as Power, Fantasy as Illness

So, as one eliminates everything that is fantasy within oneself, conscious imagination will become more and more active each time, and mechanical imagination or fantasy will disappear until nothing is left.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Imagination as Power, Fantasy as Illness

Sex and imagination are intimately associated. It is impossible to achieve absolute chastity if we do not transform our imagination into a pure mirror without the smallest spot.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

There is a close relationship between sexual energy and imagination. Sexual energy is the primary foundation of inner self-realization. Initiates who walk the path of the razor’s edge are subjected to many sexual tests in the infraconscious, unconscious, human, subhuman, and infrahuman worlds. If the initiate does not transform his morbid subimagination and mechanical erotic infra-imagination into the imagination of an innocent, newborn child, he will inevitably fail all the sexual trials.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

Imagination and intellect, wrongly used, can lead to psychosexual impotence. Morbid use of imagination, which is a wrong use of imagination, exhausts the sexual energy so that when the individual wants to consummate the act, he fails; he is impotent.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

Not only does one fornicate physically; there is also fornication in the mental and astral worlds. Those who engage in lustful conversations, those who read pornographic magazines, those who attend cinemas where they show passionate erotic films, waste enormous reserves of sexual energy. These poor people use the finest and most delicate matter of sex, wasting it miserably in the satisfaction of their brutal mental passions. Sexual fantasy produces impotence of a psychosexual type. People with that kind of illness have normal erections; they are apparently normal men, but in the moment in which they try to connect the penis and the vulva, the erection abates making the phallus fall, leaving the man in the most horrible state of desperation. They have lived in sexual fantasy and when they really find themselves facing the crude sexual reality which has nothing to do with fantasy, they become confused and are unable to properly respond to reality The sexual sense is formidably subtle and tremendously rapid, thanks to its very fine and imponderable energy. The molecular level in which the sexual sense manifests is millions of times faster than thought waves. The logical mind and the fantasy as stumbling blocks for the sexual sense. When the logical mind with all its reasoning, or when sexual fantasy with all its erotic illusions wants to control the sexual sense or channel it into their illusions, then it is inevitably destroyed. The logical mind and sexual fantasy destroy the sexual sense when they try to put it at their service. Psychosexual impotence is the most terrifying tragedy that can afflict fanatical men and women or the purely rational type of person.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

Those people who enjoy movies, novels, and pornographic pictures use the sexual energy in the thinking center and it is clear that end up with the tendency to only satisfy themselves with sexual fantasy and sooner or later they acquire a type of psychosexual impotence, in which when they go to truly carry out the sexual act, they fail lamentably.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

Another brother who was also a bachelor wanted to practice with imaginary women! This is very ominous! When the mind creates a mental effigy, this effigy acquires consciousness and converts itself into a tempting demon of the Mental World. During sleep, this effigy discharges us sexually through nocturnal pollutions (wet dreams).

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

The quality of semen is intimately associated with the power of imagination, if the crime of spilling this marvellous elixir is committed; the creative faculty, the translucence, the imagination are impoverished. Then it is impossible to maintain any beautiful image in the mind with the same freshness which we could use to give life and form to a new radiant creature.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

Sub imagination and infra-imagination exist. Any person can, if this is desired, contemplate another person of the opposite sex with purity, but sub imagination and infra-imagination can betray us in the sub merged levels of the mind, leading us into coitus in other states of consciousness. Usually, nocturnal pollutions result, with abundant loss of seminal liquid.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

In the physical world, some people attain perfect chastity and have the luxury of contemplating the nude body of a person of the opposite sex without feeling any lust. It is obvious that these exceptional people believe they have arrived at absolute chastity in the subconscious territories of the mind, not even remotely suspecting that both their sub imagination and subjective mechanical infra-imagination betray them below the limits of the intellectual sphere.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

These people may have a pure imagination, but ignore the fact that in regions, unknown to their intellect, in their sub imagination and infra-imagination, they can be terrible fornicators. When this type of person undergoes a test of chastity in the superior worlds or in the submerged worlds of nature or when they are placed in the different states, situations, or time of the infraconscious or subconscious, they fail lamentably. Many people write us asking for a remedy for nocturnal pollutions. We always answer these sick people with the recipe of Sexual Magic, the Maithuna. Those who customarily restrain themselves in the sexual act to avoid ejaculating the seminal liquor cure themselves of nocturnal pollutions.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

Morbid and lustful dreams are produced by the mechanical sub-imagination and the erotic, automatic infra-imagination.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

If we turn on the television, automatically a succession of scenes and figures pass before our eyes. The imagination is like a television screen, which is triggered by any sexual shock, not only in the intellectual sphere, but in the deeper levels of the mind as well. Any dreamer can be affected in the internal worlds by morbid representations. Those representations produce erotic dreams and nocturnal pollutions. If the dreamer customarily restrains himself in the sexual act, he will have erotic dreams, but not nocturnal pollutions. If the dreamer has transformed his sub imagination and infraimagination into that of an innocent child, erotic dreams are impossible they totally disappear.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

Let us assume that one, in the past, was fornicating with some other person of the opposite sex, and that he is insisting, or not, in eliminating lust. Then, the “I” of lust will seize the center of the memories, the intellectual center; it will grab the memory reel there, the scenes of lubricity and will make them pass through the fantasy of the person, and it will become more invigorated, it will become stronger and stronger.

The Fifth Gospel 1B The Rescue of Our Inner Light

In every man's imagination there always exists a vivid prototype of the ideal female beauty...

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

In every woman's imagination there never ceases to exist some perfect charming prince; this is well proved...

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

Unquestionably, that young man and his ardent imagination and terrible lust had unconsciously used the ideo-plastic faculty to give subtle shape to his beloved. It is in this way that a succubus EGO came into existence, a passionate Demon with long tresses and a one-track mind.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

The larvae to which Paracelsus refers are nothing else than those cultivated forms of thought that owe their energy and existence solely to unnatural imagination.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

This river of eternal water of life is the Christonic Semen. Those who long to rise through the three steps of imagination, inspiration and intuition must wash their sins with the pure waters of life. Because without chastity, nobody attains any progress in these studies. “In the midst of the Street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, (the ten Sephiroth) which bare twelve manner of fruits, (twelve faculties) and yielding her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations”. Then, nobody will utilize their powers for evil doing. Whosoever has risen through the three steps of imagination, inspiration and intuition moves himself consciously in his internal vehicles, thus visiting the superior worlds.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

28. Our disciples must follow the path of perfection. They must be pure, pure, pure, so that the very pure crystal of their imagination will be a perfect mirror in which all the precious images of the Universal Fire will be reflected.

Igneous Rose, 1954

We must transform our mechanical and morbid sub imagination and our automatic and lustful infra-imagination into the imagination of a newborn child. This kind of transformation is possible only with a special type of help, which comes from our Divine Mother Kundalini, the igneous serpent of our magical powers.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

We need to know that initiates are placed, in the internal worlds, in other times, places, situations, and various subhuman or infrahuman states of consciousness, where they don’t even remember their studies, the path, etc. Now our readers will understand the urgent necessity of transforming their sub imagination and infra-imagination into conscious imagination, as objective and pure as that of a newborn child. Now our readers will understand the intimate relation that exists between sex and imagination. Sexual energy can transform a man into an angel or a beast.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

It is necessary that you know that a sixth sense exists. That sixth sense is clairvoyance. This faculty resides in the pineal gland.

Introduction to Gnosis Clairvoyance

Nevertheless, we cannot blame their clairvoyance. Indeed, the sixth sense is as natural and normal as the eyes, the ears, the olfactory sense, the mouth, and the sense of touch.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

We sustain that the human being has a sixth sense and that through this sixth sense, he can see the Angels and converse with them.

The Mysteries of the Fire, 1955

The sixth sense, the divine clairvoyance awakens during the ascension towards the superior worlds.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

When the microscope was invented the world of the infinitely small was opened to us. In the same way the world of the fourth dimension will be opened to us with the awakening of the sixth sense.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

Those who have developed the sixth sense can study the Akãsa Records of nature and discover for themselves the reality of the polar continent of the north.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

Creatures that inhabit the profound depth of the oceans and the obscure caverns of the Earth have developed that Third Eye, that Sixth Sense.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

37. The Pituitary gland, or sixth Sense, is the page, the light-bearer of the Pineal gland where the Crown of the Saints is situated.

The Mysteries of the Fire, 1955

So, with the open eye of Dangma, which is that spiritual vision of the Adept or Jivan Mukta, I looked below, towards the profundity. Thus, I saw many beloved relatives in the depth of the abyss of the mind.

My Return to Tibet, 1969

Continuing with the inductive system, we can and must even emphasise the idea of an existence even more ancient for our world within that which is called the Fifth Dimension. The Jivanmukta, the Adept or authentic Mahatma, by means of the open Eye of Dangma, goes even further beyond, he discovers traces of our world within the Sixth and Seventh dimensions.

My Return to Tibet, 1969

It is written within old archaic documents that when the human beings still were in possession of that sight which is called “OLOOESTESKHNIANA VISION” (the open eye of Dangma), then they could correctly perceive all of the cosmic concentrations from the starry space. Hence, the human beings knew how to read the AKASIC records of Nature. In those forgone times, nobody ignored the memories of creation.

My Return to Tibet, 1969

When one, in a state of Manteia or Samadhi or Ecstasy or rapture, perceives the Consciousness of a plant, one discovers with perfect clarity that it is certainly an elemental creature, a creature that has a life not perceptible to the five senses, not perceptible to the intellective capacity, completely excluded from the noustical-sensorial terrain, but perfectly perceptible on the other hand to the translucent. It is interesting that, in subsequent steps, one can get to converse, to talk with that elemental.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Secret Functionalisms of the Enlightened Mind Conference given to Gnostic students – 1975

Arcaflum number 2 is the Priestess, in occultism said to be the Dual Manifestation of Oneness. The Unity unfolds giving origin to receptive and productive femininity in all of nature. Clearly, within the human organism is the number 2. This is related with the number 1, Will, and with the number 2, Imagination.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Imagination and will are the two poles of the mind. Imagination is feminine and will is masculine. The key to success is found in imagination and will united in vibrant harmony Mental Action The inventor conceives the telephone, the radio, the automobile, etc., with his imagination and then, with the will, gives it shape, converts it into facts, into concrete realities. Paris designers dictate fashions just as they conceive them with their imagination.

Introduction to Gnosis Imagination and Will

Imagination is feminine. Willpower is masculine. When we work with the prostatic chakra, we must join these two forces in alchemical marriages in order to provoke the ascension of the creative energy: first, through the sympathetic nerve channels of the physical body; second, through the sympathetic nerve channels of the etheric body; third, through the sympathetic nerve channels of the body of desires; fourth, through the sympathetic nerve channels of the causal body. Advanced students must raise the creative energy to the Ain Soph.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah

It is written with fiery coals in the book of all mysteries that in the union of these two magic poles (imagination and willpower) is found the clue of all powers.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

The imagination is developed by means of willpower. Willpower is invigorated and developed with the imagination.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

In order to magically operate upon the elementals of the plants and upon the organism of sick people, the Gnostic Medic must unite his willpower and his imagination within a divine connubiality.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

Ancient Kabbalistic traditions state that the human being lost that creative, imaginative and volitive power because of the downfall into sin... They state that due to it, the human being was expelled from Eden. Such a Kabbalistic concept has solid foundations.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

The ancient sages of the Kabbala affirmed that such volitional and imaginative potential was lost by the fall into sin, for this reason the human being was cast out of Eden. This magnificent synthetic conception from the Hebraic Kabbala is based on a tremendous truth. This being so, it is the precise function of Sexual Magic to reestablish that Divine original unity of paradisic Androgyny within ourselves.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

The Divine Androgyne from the first human race, Adam Kadmon, procreated only with willpower and magic imagination, united in vibrant harmony.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

Therefore, Sex Yoga, Maithuna, works by transfiguring us radically and by obviously giving an ideal accentuation to that which is sexual in the soul of each one of us. Capable of Sexual Magic are those intelligent and comprehensible people who try to transcend the dualism that separates the psychic world from the physical world.. Creative imagination is the marvelous agency of sexual life and it possesses in itself a divine cosmic quality.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

Only the magical mirror of imagination is the one that holds in itself the will of our Father who is in secret.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

Therefore, the willpower and imagination of two lovers (man and woman) who love each other give rise to the ability of giving form to their intimate universe by means of their common sexual ardor.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

It is obvious that imagination and willpower united in a vibrating harmony, accompanied with action and an immense faith, permits the ‘Nahual’ person to put his physical body inside the superior dimensions of Nature.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

Thus, by means of action, imagination and willpower harmoniously united is how the physical body will take the shape of the eagle. Then, one can really fly as the eagle.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

It is obvious that imagination and willpower, united in a vibrating harmony, and when they are accompanied with actions, produce the astral inebriation. Then, the physical body, tremendously saturated with imponderable fluid, really takes the shape of the eagle. When reaching this point of High Magic, the physical body penetrates into the fourth vertical. If we toss ourselves into fearless flight, then we can travel upon the clouds to any place of the world.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

The disciple who wants to reach Imaginative Knowledge must learn to concentrate himself and know how to profoundly meditate.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

The disciple who wishes to attain imaginative knowledge must learn to concentrate and to know how to meditate profoundly.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

This medicinal procedure through interior profound meditation develops the disciple’s own imagination. Thus, he will become an illuminated clairvoyant. He will direct his internal sight towards the most far away boundaries of the earth and will become a ruler of creation in its entirety. He will know the wisdom of each herb and thus he will unleash the tempests. He will transmute lead into gold and will make the earth tremble.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

It is a marvelous exercise. With it, the development of imagination is achieved in a positive way, with it, conscious imagination is achieved, this is what matters.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Imagination as Power, Fantasy as Illness

A simile, for example, is the mirror. The starry sky can be reflected in the mirror. So too, imagination is a mirror in which the wonders of nature, including Atlantis, can be reflected. But first of all, we need to focus our attention on Atlantis.

The Fifth Gospel 1B The Power of Conscious Faith Second Chamber – Mexico City – 1977

Then, with an open imagination, in a receptive attitude, the day can come when you perceive that continent. It is in the akashic records, but it can be reflected in the imagination as in a mirror, and then from there comes direct knowledge. But we have to know how to combine powers. I have said that the imagination is feminine, I have affirmed that the will is masculine, and that in the union of both powers or of both faculties is found the key to all power.

The Fifth Gospel 1B The Power of Conscious Faith Second Chamber – Mexico City – 1977

Now, the first aspect in Initiation is imagination, then follows inspiration, and finally intuition. A first spark would be to really see with the imagination, let the Atlantis be reflected in our imagination: its cities, its towns, its villages, etc. A higher impulse would lead us to inspiration, to feel within us how life unfolded on that continent; it would no longer be cold figures, we would feel the joys and sorrows and the whole way of life of Atlantis. But the third aspect would be the highest: that of intuition, because with intuition we would now penetrate into a totally spiritual world, a causal world, and then we would have at our disposal the akashic records of nature. In those records, we could directly study the entire history of Atlantis; and this is how the great Masters have always proceeded. That is all!

The Fifth Gospel 1B The Power of Conscious Faith Second Chamber – Mexico City – 1977

But it is not the intellect precisely that can verify these realities. With the intellect we can discuss that topic, affirm it or deny it, but that is not verification. Thus I invite you to comprehension. Imagination will open the doors of the elemental paradises of Nature for you.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Secret Functionalisms of the Enlightened Mind Conference given to Gnostic students – 1975

This type of meditation and the sacred syllables will awaken the infantile atoms of clairvoyance. Then you will elevate yourself into imaginative knowledge. You will learn to think with living images.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

The student elevates himself little by little into Imaginative Knowledge. The student is unveiling the veil of Isis little by little.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

The Gnostic rises towards Imaginative Knowledge little by little. The Gnostic lifts the veil of Isis little by little.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

All incoherence, all lack of logic and of mortal equilibrium obstructs and damages the evolution and progress of the chakras, disks, or lotus flowers of the Astral Body. The student needs much patience, will, tenacit and absolute conscious faith. One day, in the midst of sleep a distant image will arise during the meditation, a vista of nature, a face, etc. This is the signal that one is progressing. Little by little the student elevates his imaginative knowledge. Little by little, the student will draw back the Veil of Isis. One day the plant upon which one is meditating will disappear to be replaced by a beautiful child. That child is the el emental of the plant, the Soul of the plant.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Golden Chain, allows us to bring to our Conscious Imagination any image from the superior worlds. We then see clairvoyantly. The alchemist must use this mantram during the trance of Sexual Magic in order to see the Quetzal.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah

My friend, faith works miracles. The Divine Master Jesus said: “Have faith like a mustard seed and you will move mountains.” It is clear that upon vividly imagining yourself to be next to the bed of the sick, you produced an unfoldment. Your soul traveled toward the sick and with the help of the Divine Master you healed the patient. Do not be surprised, then, that they have seen you. When the soul unfolds, it often makes itself visible even at remote distances. Have you not heard Saints spoken of who did the same, who in a state of ecstasy during prayer were seen in other places healing the sick? 4. At another meeting, in which there were healings, a woman approximately 60 years of age arrived, who had some very deep knife wounds on her arms and who showed all those present. Afterwards the Master did conjurations and we all pronounced the words that he was saying; subsequently he had us sit down.

Beyond Death

Inspiration now we will study inspiration Inspired knowledge confers upon us the power to interpret the symbols of Great Nature. The interpretation of symbols is very delicate. Many clairvoyants become homicidal or commit the crime of public calumny because of not knowing how to interpret symbols. Symbols must be coldly analysed without superstition, malice, suspicion, pride, vanity, fanaticism, prejudice, preconceptions, abhorrence, envy, avarice, jealousy etc. All defects are the “I”, the Myself, the reincarnating ego.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Second, the student will acquire inspirational knowledge.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

Inspiration. When we learn to interpret the symbolic images of the internal worlds, we have then arrived at Inspired Knowledge. Internal images are interpreted by basing ourselves on the Law of Philosophical Analogies, on the Law of the Analogy of Opposites, on the Law of Correspondences, and the Law of Numerology.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

61. Yet, as long as he perseveres with his practices of internal meditation, he will then feel that the supra-sensible images produce certain feelings of happiness or pain. 62. The disciple then feels inspired in the presence of the internal images. He has thus risen to the stage of inspired knowledge.

Igneous Rose, 1954

71. Later, these images produce distinct feelings of inspiration within ourselves. The disciple has then reached the stage of inspired knowledge.

Igneous Rose, 1954

When the dreamer awakes from his dreams, then he elevates himself into inspirational knowledge. The Masters of the White Lodge do not dream. They live at every hour with their consciousness awakened and in the state of vigil even when their physical bodies are sleeping within their beds.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

When the disciple has already reached Inspired Knowledge, he must then prepare himself for Intuitive Knowledge.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

When the disciple has attained inspired knowledge, he must then pre pare himself for intuitive knowledge.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

When the Gnostic has reached Inspired Knowledge, he should then prepare himself for Intuitive Knowledge.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

Only psychological thinking will open the inner mind, this is obvious. Whoever has gone up the steps of inspiration and intuition, undoubtedly, in fact has opened the marvelous doors of the inner mind. Intuitions arise from within, they express themselves through the inner mind, that is to say, the inner mind serves as a vehicle to intuitions. This inner mind is objective reason itself clearly specified by a Gurdjieff or by an Ouspensky or by a Collins or by a Nicoll.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Secret Functionalisms of the Enlightened Mind Conference given to Gnostic students – 1975

Inspiration grants us the power of interpreting symbols.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

Inspiration confers upon us the power to interpret symbols.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Inspired Knowledge grants us the power of interpreting the symbols of Great Nature. The interpretation of symbols is very delicate. Many clairvoyants have become homicidal or have fallen into the crime of public slander because of not knowing how to interpret symbols.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

Inspired Knowledge confers upon us the power of interpreting the symbols of nature and the confused language of the ego.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

When we elevate ourselves to Inspired Knowledge, we understand and comprehend that the accidental accumulation of objects does not exist.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

When we rise to Inspired Knowledge, we understand and comprehend that the accidental accumulation of objects does not exist. Really, all the psychological phenomena of nature and of all objects are found intimately linked organically among themselves, some internally depending upon others and conditioning themselves mutually among themselves. Really, no psychological phenomenon of nature can be comprehended integrally if we consider it in an isolated manner.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

In every object, the internal struggle exists. An object is positive and negative at the same time. Quantitative transforms itself into qualitative. Evolution is a process of the complication of energy. Inspired Knowledge permits us to know the inner relationship between everything that is, has been, and will be.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

Everything is in incessant movement, everything changes, nothing is still. An internal struggle exists within every object. The object is both positive and negative at the same time. Quantitative becomes qualitative. Evolution is a process of complication of energy. Inspired knowledge allows us to know the interrelation between that which is, that which has been, and will be.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Inspired Knowledge permits us to know the interrelationship between what has been, what is and what shall be.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

Inspired Knowledge allows us to study the intimate existing relationships among all forms and values of this great Nature.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

Inspired knowledge allows us to study the intimate relationship existing between the forms and values of Great Nature.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Inspired Knowledge permits us to study the intimate relationship existent between all forms, all psycholo gical values and nature.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

Being inspired, we will feel within us what Atlantis was, we will know about its life and its tragedies. A third degree will lead us to intuition, and then, through intuition, we will not only be able to see clairvoyantly and get to feel the living emotions of the people, etc., of the Atlantean continent, but we will also then be able to study, in its totality, the life of that continent, of that humanity, in the same sealed archives of nature, in the akashic records. When that happens, we will have a lot more faith.

The Fifth Gospel 1B The Power of Conscious Faith Second Chamber – Mexico City – 1977

At a given moment, with inspiration, on the least expected day, you get to see how the cosmic forces gravitate in that molecule evolving and involuting. Result: your faith would increase, you would have a new conscious faith in something that you did not have faith in, even if you had faith in many other things.

The Fifth Gospel 1B The Power of Conscious Faith Second Chamber – Mexico City – 1977

The one who has hatred, resentment, jealousy, envy, pride, etc. does not achieve elevation of himself to the second step called Inspired Knowledge.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

He who has hatred, resentment, jealousy, envy, pride etc., will not attain the elevation to even the second level, called inspired knowledge. When we rise to inspired knowledge we understand and comprehend that the accidental accumulation of objects does not exist. All of the phe nomena of nature and all objects are really intimately organically linked to each other. They internally depend upon each other and mutually condition each other. Really, no phenomenon of nature may be integrally understood if we consider it in isolation.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Whoever has hatreds, resentments, jealousies, envies, pride, etc. will not achieve the elevation of himself to Inspired Knowledge.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

No matter how inspired one may feel here, if one has not been able to disintegrate the “I’s”, one’s Consciousness is not objective. And if one’s Consciousness is not objective, even though one always feels inspired, one does not reach Enlightenment for that reason.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Intelligent Assimilation of Impressions

To reach Enlightenment, it is necessary that the psychic aggregates disappear from the man. Only when they disappear does the objective, authentic inspiration arise in us, which leads us to the highest step of intuition.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Intelligent Assimilation of Impressions

This Black Boar (the ‘I’) inspires nothing upon Horus (the Being), but only repugnance. Only with the death of this Black Boar is how the Eye of Horus will again shine upon the forehead of the human being.

My Return to Tibet, 1969

The Heart Chakra grants Inspiration and Intuition.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959

With the ascent of Kundalini to the region of the heart, the Church of Thyatira with its twelve marvelous petals is put into activity. This Church confers on us power over the Elemental Air of the Wise. The development of this cardiac centre confers inspiration, premonition, intuition and powers to leave consciously in the astral body, as well as the powers to put the body into the state of Jinas.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

When we comprehend the uselessness of thinking during this practice, which will take us to inspirational knowledge, then the mind will naturally remain quiet and in silence. There is the need to distinguish between a mind which is quiet and a mind which has to be forced to be quiet. There is the need to distinguish between a mind which is in silence and a mind which is silenced by force.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

We asseverate that the human being has a seventh sense called “intuition.” The human being can know the great mysteries of life and death when he awakens that seventh sense. He does not need to study these mysteries in any book. So, beloved reader, this book is for that purpose.

The Mysteries of the Fire, 1955

84. INTUITION is direct perception of the truth, without the depressing process of reasoning and of opinions.

Manual of Practical Magic, 1954

How do we define intuition? “Direct perception of the truth without the depressing process of choice.” Well, that is a good way to define it, but I find it very incipient; it is used by all the pseudo-esoteric and pseudo-occultist type of schools out there, but analytics invites us to go deeper into this matter.

The Fifth Gospel 1B The Power of Intuition of the Psychological Man Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 22, 1977

What is intuition? It is a faculty of interpenetration. Possibly, Hegel, in his dialectic, tries to define it with that of the “universal specifics”, but to me it seems better to define it with Chinese philosophy, of the yellow race.

The Fifth Gospel 1B The Power of Intuition of the Psychological Man Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 22, 1977

A Chinese Empress did not quite understand this matter of Intuition. A sage explained to her that it was the faculty of interpenetration –that definition is correct, but she did not understand it–. Then the sage brought a lit candle and placed it in the center of a room, and around it he also placed ten mirrors. It is clear that the fire of that candle was reflected in a mirror and that mirror projected it to another mirror, and the other mirror projected it to another one, and the other to another; and so, all in all, the ten mirrors projected light to each other. A wonderful set of lights was formed, a set with interpenetration. The Empress understood. This is the faculty of intuition.

The Fifth Gospel 1B The Power of Intuition of the Psychological Man Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 22, 1977

So, deduce or infer from what I have said what intuition is: the power of interpenetration.

The Fifth Gospel 1B The Power of Intuition of the Psychological Man Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 22, 1977

And if all creatures can be reflected in the psyche of a Buddha of Contemplation –because he no longer has inhuman psychic aggregates to disintegrate–, then he, in fact, achieves through intuition what we could define as “omniscience”.

The Fifth Gospel 1B The Power of Intuition of the Psychological Man Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 22, 1977

Supraconsciousness is intuition.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

They impress upon the student the importance of gaining what is called the consciousness of knowledge, that is to say, the intuition.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

Negligence is of the ego and its opposite is intuition, which is of the Being. The ego can neither elect nor distinguish, but the Being can.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

If we keep dissolving the Fool of Arcanum 21, Intuition develops. Intuition is the flower of intelligence. Intuition and Comprehension will replace reason and desire, the latter being attributes of the “Ego”. Intuition allows us to penetrate into the past, present and future. Intuition allows us to penetrate into the essential meaning of all things.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah

But on more advanced worlds, really, there is no need to go through all this jargon. On more advanced worlds, people are governed by intuition, they are intuitive. Let us not forget that intuition is the flower of intelligence.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Lunar Psychism and Solar Psychism Second Chamber – Mexico City – 1976

Intuition grants us entrance into the world of the ineffable gods. Every intuitive person becomes a true Prophet.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah

There is a transcendental power that is born in any man who has truly worked on himself. I am referring in an emphatic way to intuition, in-tu-it-tion –and I am mentioning this so that you stop coveting powers–. But what is that faculty? We have been told it is related to the pineal gland. I do not deny it, but what is interesting is to explain what its functions are.

The Fifth Gospel 1B The Power of Intuition of the Psychological Man Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 22, 1977

7. The Buddhic self-evidence and self-reflection enable us to take to our intuition concepts of content, that are translated into divine intuitions.

Christ Will, 1959

The intuition of the poet is the genius’ vision. Whoever denies it cannot see with its immense power....

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

Gnostic revelation is always immediate, direct and intuitive. It excludes — radically — all intellectual operations of a subjective kind. It has nothing to do with the experience or with any set of fundamentally sensorial data.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

42. The intuitive knows how to read what the Master does not write and how to listen to what the Master does not say.

Igneous Rose, 1954

The intuitive person knows how to read where the Master does not write, and to hear where the Master does not speak.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

81. The Intuitive understands with one letter alone.

Manual of Practical Magic, 1954

63. Later, when he sees an internal image, instantaneously he knows its significance and the reason for many things. This is the third stage of knowledge, known as intuitive knowledge.

Igneous Rose, 1954

72. Finally, in the presence of any person, the disciple instantaneously knows the life of that person. This is the stage of intuitive knowledge.

Igneous Rose, 1954

What does an enemy resemble? A furious bull. What does the rain look like? Tears. Intuition. When we know without the need of reasoning, when we see a symbolic image in the superior worlds and we instantly know its meaning, we have arrived at Intuitive Knowledge. The intuitive person knows everything without the need to reason. The new Aquarian Age is the era of intuition.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

Third, the student will attain intuitive knowledge.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

Thus, this is when we elevate ourselves into intuitive knowledge.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

66. Whosoever has reached these ineffable heights of intuition has converted himself into a Master of Samadhi.

Igneous Rose, 1954

At that time, in my youth, I had not yet undergone the Buddhist annihilation, and obviously, as I drew near to the Great Reality, my consciousness boundlessly expanded. It is obvious that in that situation, having not passed through the Buddhist annihilation, I felt unspeakable terror, because of which I returned to Einstein’s universe of relativity. I repeat, I experienced the Illuminating Void three times, and while in Shunyata I knew that beyond the void there is… What?—That which is called the Tality. I knew it with an intuition of a transcendental type, because in the land of intuition, within the world of intuitionalism, there are different degrees of intuition.

For the Few, 1980

Unquestionably, the most elevated intuitional degree is that of the philosophical-religious or philosophical-mystical minds. That type of intuition corresponds to Prajnaparamita. This faculty then, allowed me to know how to draw near to the world of the Illuminating Void, beyond which one encounters the Great Reality.

For the Few, 1980

I repeat: three times I experienced the Illuminating Void and I knew in the Sunyata –vivid transcendental experience–, that there is something beyond the Void. And what is that? That which is called TALIDAD7, the Great Reality. I knew it with an intuition of a transcendental type, because in the terrain of intuition, or within the world of intuitionality, there are different degrees of intuition. Unquestionably, the most elevated intuitional degree is that of the philosophical-religious or philosophical-mystic minds. It is 7 TALIDAD: SUCHNESS or THATNESS.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Psychoemotional Metamorphosis of Man Third Chamber – Mexico City – July 27, 1977

Many degrees of intuition exist. However, the highest degree is only for the mystic or religious philosophers.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

Only such people with Prajna-Paramita intuition can experience the Tality.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The third step of knowledge is that of intuitive knowledge. In order to reach the ineffable summits of intuitive knowledge, there is the need to kiss the whip of the executioner and the hand of the one who strikes us. We must ol ve and adore the whole of humanity, sacrificing ourselves for it, always ready to give even the last drop of our blood for the love of this poor suffering humanity.

The Aquarian Message, 1960 also in Entropy and Sacrifice

But for intuition to truly manifest itself in a human being, the absolute elimination of the Ego, to reduce to ashes, to reduce to cosmic dust the animal Ego is necessary. Only like that, really, can intuition develop with all euphoria, and manifest itself with extraordinary splendor, becoming the foundation of daily life.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Lunar Psychism and Solar Psychism Second Chamber – Mexico City – 1976

It becomes necessary to compel our Supraconsciousness to work, for the intuition to become powerful. Let us remember that an organ that is not used becomes atrophied. The intuition of people who do not work with their Supraconsciousness is atrophied.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

The highest part of man is the world of intuition and objective spiritual consciousness. In the world of intuition, the archetypes of all things in nature develop.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

Nous is perfect awakened consciousness. Nous is the state of Turiya, profound perfect interior illumination. Nous is legitimate objective clairvoyance. Nous is intuition. Nous is the world of the divine archetypes. Noetic thought is synthetic, clear, objective, illuminated. Whoever reaches the heights of Noetic thought totally awakens consciousness and becomes a Turiya.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

Only those who have penetrated the world of objective intuition, only those who have reached the solemn heights of Noetic thought are truly awakened and illuminated. A true Turiya cannot dream. The Turiya, who has reached the heights of Noetic thought, never goes about saying so, never presumes to be wise; he is extremely simple and humble, pure and perfect.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

In the world of Intuition, we find only omniscience. The world of intuition is the world of the Being; it is the world of the Intimate.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

In the World of Intuition we only find omniscience. The World of Intuition is the world of the Being, is the world of the Intimus.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

In the world of intuition, we only find omniscience. The world of intuition is the world of the Being, it is the world of the Inner-Self.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

The world of Intuition is the Universal Spirit of life.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

The “I”, the Myself, the ego cannot enter that world. The World of Intuition is the Universal Spirit of Life.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

In that world, the ‘I’, the ego, the loose cathexis cannot enter. The world of intuition is the world of the Universal Spirit of Life.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

In the world of Intuition, we see the great cosmic theater and we are the spectators. We attend the great drama of life.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

In the World of Intuition we see the great cosmic theatre, and we are the spectators. We are present at the great drama of life.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

In the world of Intuition, the whole drama, which is represented in cosmic scenes, is reduced to terrible arithmetical operations. This is the amphitheater of cosmic science.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

Whosoever reaches the ineffable summits of intuition can contemplate the future heavenly Jerusalem.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

It is that intuition which will allow us to talk face to face with Archangeloi [Archangels], with Thrones, and they will no longer be a mere speculation or belief to us, but a palpable, manifest reality. Intuition will be able to grant us access to the superior regions of the Universe and of the Cosmos. By means of intuition we will be able to study cosmogenesis, anthropogenesis, etc.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Secret Functionalisms of the Enlightened Mind Conference given to Gnostic students – 1975

Intuition will allow us to penetrate the temples of the Universal White Fraternity, the temples of the Elohim, Prajapatis, Kumaras, Thrones...

The Fifth Gospel 1B Secret Functionalisms of the Enlightened Mind Conference given to Gnostic students – 1975

Intuition will allow us to know the genesis of our world. With intuition, we will be able to witness the dawn of Creation itself; to know, not because of what someone said, but in a direct way, how this world arose from the chaos, in what form it was created, in what way it appeared within the order of the worlds. Intuition will allow us to know now, in a specific and direct way, what the brilliant intellects of the time do not know. Since there are a lot of theories in relation to the world, to the Universe, to the Cosmos, and they go out of fashion constantly like pharmacy remedies, like the fashion of ladies or of gentlemen. One theory is followed by another, and another by another; after all, the intellect does nothing but speculate and fantasize a great deal without ever being able to experience what is real. But intuition allows one to know what is real; it is a transcendental cognitive faculty.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Secret Functionalisms of the Enlightened Mind Conference given to Gnostic students – 1975

It is intuition which allows one to know that the Earth exists because of the karma of the Gods, otherwise it would not exist. Intuition is the one which allows one to verify the crude realism of such karma. Certainly, those Elohim, Prajapatis or Angels, as a whole, constitute the Divine. They acted in a past cycle of manifestation, long before the Earth and the Solar System came into existence.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Secret Functionalisms of the Enlightened Mind Conference given to Gnostic students – 1975

Let us see a very funny case. A lot is discussed about the Moon. Many people think that it is a piece of the Earth thrown into space by the centrifugal force of the Universe; something like someone firing an atomic rocket. But intuition allows one to verify things in a completely different way. Intuition allows one to know that the Moon is much older than the Earth. There is a reason why our ancestors of Anahuac said “the grandmother Moon”. She is, obviously, our grandmother. She is the mother of the Earth, and the Earth is our mother; in short, she is our grandmother. Wise concepts of Anahuac!

The Fifth Gospel 1B Secret Functionalisms of the Enlightened Mind Conference given to Gnostic students – 1975

It is evident, positive and authentic that if we exclude the faculty of intuition, the internal and spiritual Eye of the Adept, then we lamentably fail in these types of investigations, because the first half thousand millions of years related with the whole geological history of the Earth on this region of three dimensions seems buried or lost in a definitive, radical and absolute way. The task of re-constructing the mode in which life and its primeval forms might have emerged becomes very difficult indeed, due to the total lack of information regarding fossils from that epoch.

My Return to Tibet, 1969

The world of intuition is the world of mathematics. The student that wants to elevate himself to the world of intuition must be a mathematician or at least must have notions of arithmetic.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

The world of intuition is the world of mathematics. The student who wishes to elevate himself to the world of intuition must be mathematical, or at least have a notion of arithmetic. Mathematical formulae con fer intuitive knowledge.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Mathematical formulas grant us Intuitive Knowledge.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

If the student practices with tenacity and supreme patience, his own inner Being will teach or instruct him in the Great Work. Then he will study at the feet of the Master and he will elevate himself to Intuitive Knowledge.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

The vehicle of intuition is directly connected with the heart. Accordingly, the heart is the center of intuition. Its chakra or lotus flower spins and shines with extraordinary beauty. Seven atomic centers exist in this chakra, which serve as instruments for the Seven Great Cosmic Hierarchies in order for them to act upon our marvelous organism.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

When the cosmic night of the solar epoch approached after millions of years, the Four Lords of Flame endowed the present human Intimates (Spirits) with a Spiritual Soul or Buddhic body, which is the body of intuition.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

48. He who awakens the chakra of the heart acquires INTUITION.

Manual of Practical Magic, 1954

83. Our disciples should cultivate INTUITION, which resides in the heart.

Manual of Practical Magic, 1954

When the sacred serpent reaches the height of the heart it opens the Church of Thyatira, and we become intuitive.

The Yellow Book, 1959

In order to reach the ineffable summits of intuition, there is the necessity of integrally living in accordance with the wise teachings brought unto the earth by the Divine Rabbi of Galilee. Therefore, the teachings of Christ are the teachings, which leads us towards the ineffable summits of intuition.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

The practices of the teaching of Christ awake the chakra of the heart within ourselves and put in activity the Buddhic or Intuitive body, which leads us towards wisdom and eternal happiness.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

While we practice the Christic teachings, the ethereal body becomes totally reorganized and its two superior ethers are increased in volume. Then, a certain center, which is formed within the head, descends into the heart and organizes a center for the intuition. A protector net is formed around the ethereal body when we do not waste our Christic force. This is how this body remains protected from the exterior currents. The physical body becomes more fine and also more strong, and even the face is transformed and gains beauty.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

In order for the mystic consciousness, Buddha, to express itself as intuition through ourselves, we have to prepare our seven bodies by means of sexual magic.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

The awakening of the consciousness, or Buddha, expresses itself as the Eye of Dagma, the Intuition which allows us ‘to know’ without the necessity of reasoning.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

One thing is the mind as a mind and another thing is the mind as an instrument. The great cosmic illuminations are the outcome of the momentous unions of Brahma-vidya with the mental body. Thus, the soul united with its Intimate is submerged within the great soul of the world, within Emerson’s “super-soul”, and perceives all of the macro-cosmic marvels. Yet, in order to achieve these marvels, the opening of the eye of Dagma is necessary. This eye is the intuition.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

17. The plexus of this chakra is a lotus flower that sprouts from the Pituitary gland. This gland is the page or light bearer of the Pineal gland, where the Crown of the Saints, the Lotus of one thousand petals, the eye of Dangma, the Eye of Intuition, is situated. 18. Psychic clairvoyance by itself without the development of the coronary chakra could lead the Yogi astray into grave errors.

The Mysteries of the Fire, 1955

The plexus of this chakra is a lotus flower that emanates from the pituitary gland. This gland is the page and light bearer of the pineal gland, which is where the crown of saints, the lotus of one thousand petals, the eye of Dangma, the eye of intuition, is situated.

1977 - The Mayan Mysteries

The seventh Church of Laodicea, is the King of the chakras, the Sahasrara. It has 1,000 petals, is the centre of polyvision, the centre of intuition, the Diamond Eye.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

The intuitive sight resides in this chakra, the eye of the Spirit. This splendorous and divine chakra is associated with the crown of thorns that pierces the temples of all the Christified Ones and causes them to bleed.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

Not a single Initiate can conquer the powers of Polyvoyance and Intuition without the Crown of Saints, the famous Lotus of One Thousand Petals situated in the Pineal Gland, within the superior part of the brain.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

When it ascends to the pineal gland, one obtains Polyvision and Intuition.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959

Nevertheless, we must remember that the center of intuition, related with the pineal gland, becomes illuminated with Christification.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

With matrimony a spark is produced, and illumination follows; this is the result of the Great Affiance. That Divine Spark in the pineal gland gives illuminated intuition along with Polyvision. This is the total triumph.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

This open Eye is the purely spiritual sight of the Adept. However, it is necessary to clarify that this is not clairvoyance, but rather, it is the faculty of spiritual intuition, through which the direct and true knowledge can be acquired.

My Return to Tibet, 1969

I have known true Devas of Fire, I have been in contact with them. They live in the Causal World or world of Conscious Will; they told me that beyond clairvoyance si intuition which is superior because it pertains to Pure Spirit. With clairvoyance, one can investigate the superior or inferior regions of the molecular world. The intuition, on the other hand, functions directly in the world of Pure Spirit. Because of this, the intuition is superior. Intuition has its root in the pineal gland, the Sahasrara chakra or ThousandPetalled Lotus. That faculty is related with Shiva, or the Blazing Fire, and for that reason gives us access to the world of Pure Spirit.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Illuminated Intuition is superior to clairvoyance. The Spiritual Sun is what counts. The Midnight Sun guides and orients us. “One must await every thing from the Occident, await nothing from the Orient.” The Sun Sirius is the central sun, the gravitational point of the Milky Way.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

45. Intuition allow us to know the internal reality of all the images that float in the Astral light. The intuitive clairvoyant is omniscient.

The Mysteries of the Fire, 1955

46. A clairvoyant without intuition is like a ship without a compass or a ship without a steering wheel. The intuitive clairvoyant is powerful.

The Mysteries of the Fire, 1955

44. The clairvoyant who does not awake his intuition could become a slanderer of his neighbor and even an assassin.

The Mysteries of the Fire, 1955

20. The only way to avoid those possible errors is by awakening Intuition, whose divine diamond eye is in the Lotus of a thousand petals that we are going to study in the next chapter.

The Mysteries of the Fire, 1955

Master: Well, that he lacks intuition.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Gnostic Discipline for Awakening Interview – Mexico City –1970

Master: They do not understand it because of lack of intuition. In any case, astral projection is very interesting –the voluntary projection–, but many people find it difficult to learn how to leave the physical body at will.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Gnostic Discipline for Awakening Interview – Mexico City –1970

It is urgent for the devotee of the Path of the Razor’s Edge to intensify the development of intuition. This faculty resides in the crown chakra; this chakra shines in the pineal gland, it is the seat of the soul, the third eye. Modern scientists believe they know more than the ancient sages from the ancient Mystery Schools and they refute all these things, bringing the subject of the pineal gland to the purely physiological arena, as if wanting with this to give the venerable faces of the Great Hierophants a diplomatic slap. The old sages of ancient times were always aware that the pineal gland is a small reddish gray tissue, located at the posterior part of the brain. They knew very well that this gland secretes the hormone that is closely related to the development of the sexual organs. After adulthood, this gland degenerates into a fibrous tissue that stops secreting, and then comes impotence. There is only one exception to this: that of the Gnostics. With Sexual Magic they keep their pineal glands and their sexual function active throughout life. The pineal gland is the center of intuitive polyvision. In the heart, intuition manifests as premonitions, but in the pineal gland this premonition becomes intuitive imagery.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah

One thing is the reasoning and another thing is the intuition. The reasoning only nourishes itself with the external sensorial perceptions (by means of the senses it perceives or receives the impressions and then produces the sensations). Thus, the reasoning ends up being negative and limited.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

The reasoning person believes that he can attain the truth through the struggle of antithesis, but this only divides the mind and incapacitates it to comprehend the truth. The intuitive person only knows how to listen to the voice of the silence. Thus, within his serene mind, the eternal truths of life are reflected with splendid beauty.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

Reason is of the “animal I”, “intuition” is the voice of the “Inner Being”. Reason is external, intuition is internal.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

Reasoning is a breach between instinct and intuition. The only fruit that we extract from reasoning is the golden fruit of comprehension.

1977 - The Mayan Mysteries

We dedicate this course of esoteric education to humanity and very especially to all those disillusioned of schools, religions, lodges and sects; theirs is this course of intimate selfeducation and true practical knowledge. There are two types of knowledge: The Eye Doctrine and the Heart Doctrine. The eye doctrine is for those who are satisfied with spiritual theories and the heart doctrine is for authentic initiates. To the eye doctrine belong all the members of the so-called spiritual schools and as variable is their concept as is the opinion of writers. To the heart doctrine belong all the masters of the Universal White Fraternity because within it is enclosed the primeval truths of this unique knowledge. One comes to us through deduction and the other through intuition. The former is produced by the intellect and the latter by the Internal Master; one is human, the other is divine.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The eye doctrine strengthens the mind. Because of it, the mind is the abode of desire: she thinks, reasons, analyzes, draws conclusions and leads to erred action. She wants to resolve everything by herself, without taking into consideration the voice of the Internal Master. The Internal Master does not analyze, or reason because his voice is the voice of intuition. The heart doctrine opens the doors to the hail of knowledge.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

There are two kinds of Kabbalists: intellectual Kabbalists and intuitive Kabbalists, The intellectual Kabbalists are black magicians; the intuitive Kabbalists are white magicians. The sidereal gods many times answer us by showing us a card of the Tarot; then we intuitively comprehend the answer that has been given to us. The intuitive Kabbalists, by merely looking at a card of the Tarot, comprehend what destiny reserves for them. On a certain occasion I consulted a genie about the convenience of making a trip, for which I was not prepared economically. The planetary genie showed me 3 cards. One of them was a King of diamonds, everything beautifully embroidered with gold; I understood with my heart and made my trip. Everything went very well.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The exercises of Sagittarius are to awaken clairvoyance and to see and comprehend all these things. The Kabbalists of intuition understand everything with the heart. The Intellectual Kabbalists want to resolve everything with the animal mind. The Kabbalist of intuition is only guided by the voice of the silence, the Inner Being. These cards of the Tarot is the language of the superior worlds of Light. These cards of the Tarot are the occult wisdom of the Sidereal Gods.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

We explained that there are two kinds of Kabbalists, the Kabbalists of reason and the Kabbalists of intuition. Reason is an insubordination and crime of “Lese” majesty against the internal Master, and that is why the Kabbalists of reason are black magicians. The great intuitive Kabbalists do not reason, they comprehend by direct perception and listen to the voice of silence when they see any plate of the sacred Tarot.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

“There are two classes of kabalists - intellectual kabalists and intuitive kabalists. Intellectual kabalists are Black Magicians, intuitive kabalists are White Magicians”. Samael Aun Weor.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

The Absolute is the Being of all Beings. The Absolute is that which is, has always been, and always will be. It expresses as abstract absolute movement and repose. It is the cause of Spirit and of matter, but is neither one nor the other. The Absolute is beyond the mind; and the mind cannot understand it because what we must do is intuit its nature.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

It is very difficult for some brothers to understand this question of the Trimurtis. They are accustomed to think for example, of the First Logos, Second Logos and Third Logos; that is, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, but then comes the second Trimurti in which we speak of Osiris, Isis and Horns; that is where they become confused. This is because the conversion of one Trimurti into another Trimurti can not be done on the basis of pure rationalism. There is a purely spiritual factor in this conversion of the Trimurtis, because it is only intuitively that one can learn, capture, grasp the idea.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

On a certain occasion a famous penologist said, “To discover truth we have to renounce logic.” In part this lawyer spoke the truth, in another way he did not. In reality we have to renounce formal logic, but not logic, because logic is the art of correct thinking, If we stop thinking correctly clearly we fall into the absurd. In his “Critique of Pure Reason “, Emmanuel Kant showed us the path of a transcendental logic. Before Bacon arid the famous Aristotle, in the archaic scriptures of the sacred land of the Vedas, formulae for a superior logic were already given. These formulae were written in very ancient books. This logic is dialectic logic. This is intuitive logic, the logic of ecstasy, the logic of the infinite. This logic existed long before deductive or inductive logic were formulated. When man masters this marvelous key of the mind called dialectic logic, he can open the mysterious door of the world of natural causes without danger of falling into error. The axioms of dialectic logic can only be formulated during ecstasy.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

Transcendental Logic is the Logic of Intuition, the Logic of the Infinite, and the Logic of Ecstasy.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

We have to end with reasoning and awaken intuition. It is only in this manner that we can learn the true wisdom of God. It is only in this manner that the mind remains in the hands of the Inner-Self. The true positive function of the mind is art, beauty, love, music; the mystical art of loving, of divine architecture, of painting, singing, culture, technique, placed at the service of man, but without egotism, without wickedness, without hatred, etc. The intellect is the negative function of the mind; it is demonic.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

We must put an end to reasoning and awaken intuition, only in this way can we learn the true wisdom of God, only thus does the mind rest in the hands of the Intimus.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

We have to put an end to reasoning in order to have a child’s mind. The child does not reason, he is intuitive, he instinctively knows; he does not covet money, does not fornicate, does not commit adultery, and he is not a murderer.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

The youth, then, should not continue being bottled up in that process of reasoning; it must be eminently intuitive. Above all, it is necessary to understand that we are asleep. But one cannot awaken as long as he lives completely falsified by mechanistic life, with the various little roles that he has to play in existence. There is a need, I repeat, to no longer identify with these little roles, to break free from them by being rebels, by looking at life from another angle.

The Fifth Gospel 1B A Call to Intelligent Rebellion

Conceptual synthetism and intuition replace reasoning.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

Possessing objective reason is having opened the inner mind, and the inner mind functions exclusively with intuitions, with the data of the Being, of the Consciousness, of what is superlative, of what is ethnic, of that which is transcendental and transcendent in us, and not any other way.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Secret Functionalisms of the Enlightened Mind Conference given to Gnostic students – 1975

The Pure Esotericism is based upon the Mystical Experience, and the latter is submitted to Mathematics of Transfinite Numbers and to the Unmistakable Laws of Superior Logic. We studied the Astral Body in the former chapter. The complete manifestation of our Superior Emotional Center takes place through the Astral Body.

The Solar Bodies, 1968

Master: Well, obviously, self-remembering is related to the superior mental center, as is self-observation. However, I think –and I have always said– that the emotional center –I am especially referring to the superior emotional center– has more penetrability, more omniscience, more wisdom, and it is more important.

The Fifth Gospel 1A The Seven Minds and the Seven Truths Third Chamber – Mexico City – July 13, 1977

I am not saying that superior emotions do not exist, it is clear that they do exist! But unfortunately, the poor intellectual animal, mistakenly called man, has not developed the superior emotional center. Only the inferior emotional center works in him.

The Fifth Gospel 1B The New Generations Facing Gnosis Message directed to the Gnostic youth – Mexico City

So, in the facts of practical life, we must discover ourselves. Inferior emotions show, indicate, emotionally inferior “I’s” that one has to disintegrate. If we do not extirpate, if we do not make the inferior emotions bleed with the knife of self-criticism, it will not be possible to develop in us the superior emotional center, which is so necessary, precisely, to receive the messages that come from the Superior Worlds.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Didactics for Buddhist Annihilation Conference at the end of the Missionary Course – Guadalajara, Jalisco. Mexico – From June 15 to August 30. 1976

Master: The personality must become increasingly passive in order for us to become receptive. When one becomes receptive, one feels the Being more and more through the superior emotional center. That is why it is written: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God”.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Intelligent Assimilation of Impressions

When the Superior Emotional centre is actually working, the thinking process stops, at least for a brief moment.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

Those who interpret everything literally, think that the sower of the Christic Gospel went to sow, and that the seeds fell on rocks, and so on, but they do not understand the sense of the parable, because it belongs to the symbolic language of the Superior Emotional centre.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

Remember that the entire Bible, beginning with the creation of man and ending with the judgment of man in the Book of Revelation, is written with the superior emotional center, in the language of parables, and hence the wisdom that is contained in every verse. That is all. Any other brother can ask a question. Let’s see, sister...

The Fifth Gospel 1A The Seven Minds and the Seven Truths Third Chamber – Mexico City – July 13, 1977

Beethoven’s music is especially extraordinary because it makes the Superior Emotional centre vibrate intensely.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

Beethoven — when feeling the cruel rigors and trials of the “spiritual night” — instead of failing, as many candidates did, opened the eyes of his intuition to the mysterious supernatural, the spiritual side of Nature, to that region where angelic kings of these universal creations (Tlaloc, Ehecatl, Huehueteotl, etc.) live.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

The one who is already intuitive is so because he has a specially constructed mental body. The nucleus from such a mind is a circle of a resplendent violet color. Within the book Azug, the mind, which is thus organized, is called “Damiorfia”.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

The mind of the intuitive one serenely and silently flows very far away from the black struggle of antithesis and from the storm of exclusivity.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

The mind of the intuitive one serenely and silently flows as a delectable, crystalline fountain of resplendent beauty within the august thunder of thought.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

The mental body of the intuitive one is a marvelous vehicle of the Intimate. The mind of such an intuitive one only acts under the direction of the Intimate. I-fence, from this action emerges right exertion, right thinking and right feeling.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

The children of intuition, as rebellious, high flying eagles, soar towards the sun of the great ineffable truths, free from fear, free from the longing of accumulation, free from sects, religions, schools, social prejudices, fanaticism of flags, anxieties, theories, intellectualism, hatred, selfishness, etc.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

The mind of the intuitive one is the chalice of the Holy Grail saturated with the blood of the Martyr of Golgotha.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

The mind of the intuitive one is the sacred cup of Pleroma, the sacred cup of Samadhi, the liquor of the Gods. It is the Soma, drank by the Lords of the Mind. It is the liquor of love, the Buddhic liquor, which is the wine of light already transmuted within the igneous vessel of the beautiful Helen. It is the cup of the immortal Gods!

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

52. Thought must flow integrally without the process of reasoning.

Igneous Rose, 1954

The process of reasoning breaks the delicate membranes of the Mental Body. Thought must flow silently, serene and complete, without the battle of antithesis, without the process of reasoning which divides the mind between opposite concepts.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

From mental silence intelligent action is born, the intuitive and wise action that will solve the problem no matter how difficult it might be. This intelligent action is not the result of any reaction. When we perceive the event, the problem, when we notice the fact without affirming it, denying it, or explaining it, when we do not accept the fact, or reject it, then the silence of the mind arrives. Intuition flourishes in silence. From silence the intelligent action that totally solves the problem bursts forth.

Introduction to Gnosis

In the serenity of the mind, a new faculty is born in us, the name of said faculty is intuitio n. Only intuition can resolve problems.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

When the mind ceases, beatitude and later illumination is born in us. Before arriving at illumination we should first pass through beatitude. The phases of transformation are three: Non-thinking, beatitude and illumination. Intuition is illumination. Every enlightened person resolves the most difficult problems.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

Comprehend that I am talking to you about the path of action, free of the painful battle of the opposites. Action without distractions, without evasions, without fantasies, without abstractions of any kind. Change thy character, beloved, change it through intelligent action, free of the battle of the opposites. When the doors are closed to fantasy the organ of intuition is awakened.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

When the doors are closed to fantasy, the organ of intuition is awakened.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

Action, free of the battle of the opposites, is intuitive action, full action. Where there is plenitude, the ‘I’ is absent. Intuitive action leads us by the hand to the awakening of consciousness. Let us work and rest happily abandoning ourselves to the course of life. Let us exhaust the turbid and rotten waters of habitual thinking and in the emptiness will flow Gnosis and with it, the happiness of living. This intelligent action, free of the battle of the opposites, elevates us to a point in which something must break.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

Intuitive action leads us by the hand to the awakening of consciousness.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

31. What is important is the path of straight action. ‘What is important is intuitive action. 32. Intuitive action is just action, just thought, just feeling, divine transmutation, action of plenitude, complete activity, just activity, expressed sanctity, work in plenitude, wisdom in action, and active love.

Igneous Rose, 1954

The intuitive only acts with the voice of the silence.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

Intuition has nothing to do with that basic center of reasoning, intuition is Christ centric. Every problem has been created by the mind and exists as long as the mind sustains it. Every problem is a mental form which the mind sustains. Every mental form has a triple process: emergence, subsistence and dissipation.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

Fear is our worst enemy. The demon of fear does not like us to resolve problems. Are you afraid that you will be thrown out on the street because of not having money to pay the house rent? And if they throw you out? So what? Do you by any chance know what new doors shall open for you? Intuition knows it and that is why the intuitive is not afraid. Intuition dissolves problems.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

Are you afraid of losing your job? And if you lose it, so what? Do you by any chance know what new job there will be for you? Intuition knows it and that is why the intuitive is not afraid.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

When the battle of the mind ends, intuition is born and fear ends. Intuition dissolves problems no matter how difficult they are.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

The new humanity will be the humanity of intuition.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

94. The new Era of Aquarius will be the Era of the intuitive humanity.

Igneous Rose, 1954

78. Aristotle initiated the age of reason that culminated with Immanuel Kant, the philosopher of Königsberg, and which entered old age finalizing this sign of Pisces. 79. I, AUN WEOR, am the Initiator of the Age of INTUITION.

Manual of Practical Magic, 1954

The heart is the sacred temple of the Inner Master. The Inner Master speaks to us in the form of hunches. If man obeyed those hunches, he would live without problems.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The celestial man talks in the form of hunches; his voice is the voice of silence and his actions are always upright; and create happiness.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The voice of the heart is the voice of the Inner-Self; the voice of the Inner-Self is intuition. Action without reasoning is right action. Intuitive action is just, right and perfect. The humanity of Aquarius will be intuitive. Intellectual culture is a purely animal function of the “I”. Intellectuals are full of pride, arrogance and sexual passion. The intellect is based on reasoning and reasoning is luciferic and demonic. There are those who believe that by means of it they can know God. We say that only God knows himself.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

We need a mind that only thinks with the heart. We need a mind which only listens to the voice of hunches.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

The mind which only obeys hunches is a “Christ-mind”.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

41. You must listen only to the Intimate who resides in the heart. You must learn to hear the voice of the silence.

Igneous Rose, 1954

We need with urgency to learn how to be guided by the voice of the silence, that is to say, by the Intimate Judge.

Runic Magic, 1969

“It is preferable to die being free than to live while being imprisoned.” This is what the Voice of the Silence uttered on that night of mystery...

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

In a certainly unexpected way, one of those figures suddenly freed itself. It had the appearance of an Elder dressed in an exotic way. The voice of the silence informed me that it was related with the Lord of time. I was instructed that I must eliminate the useless refuse of the past… I understood everything. Thus, the Elder walked holding in his dexterous hand a strange container filled with garbage…

My Return to Tibet, 1969

I remember how the attraction for these studies was born in me. Of course, I changed bodies –I sincerely tell you– at will; I went into this body at will; I left the past body at will and took this one at will. But I felt in my current existence that pang –as it is said– for the esoteric-Gnostic studies, when I was still a child of about eight years old. I went to the countryside, and in contact with the great Nature, contemplating a sunrise, I felt a terrible foreboding and my heart ached: the longing for divine things; and I saw myself complete in those moments.

The Fifth Gospel 1B The Integration of the Being and the Knowing Third Chamber – Mexico City – February 20, 1975

Should somebody be capable of giving the cold imbecile or the superficial young woman the electrical touch of the moment, the heart's spark, some strange reminiscence, something which is in fact intimate, then perhaps everything would be different. Yet something displaces the tiny secret voice, the first hunch, the intimate yearning; possibly some trifle, the beautiful hat in some shopwindow, the delicious sweet in a restaurant, an encounter with a friend which later holds no importance for us, etc. Nonsense, trifles which while not being transcendental, in a given instant they do have the power to extinguish that first spiritual restlessness, the insignificant spark of light, the hunch which disturbed us for a moment without us knowing why.

The Great Rebellion, 1975

The spark, the hunch, a mysterious sigh, an unexplainable something, was sometime felt by the butcher on the corner, by the shoe-shiner or by the doctor of the first order, but all was in vain, the trifles of personality always extinguish the first spark of the light; then the coldness of the most frightful indifference goes on.

The Great Rebellion, 1975

There is nobody who has not felt a hunch in life, a strange restlessness, unfortunately, any of the things of personality, no matter how trifling, is enough for reducing to cosmic dust that which moved us for a moment in the silence of the night. The moon always wins these battles, it feeds on our own weaknesses, it nourishes itself with them.

The Great Rebellion, 1975

Many times the Inner-Self, the Being, gives an order and the mind rebels with its reasonings. The Inner-Self speaks in the form of hunches or thoughts; the mind rebels by reasoning and comparing.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

Many times the Intimus gives a command, and the mind rebels with its reasoning. The Intimus speaks in the form of intuitive feelings or thoughts; the mind rebels, reasoning and comparing.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Esoteric discipline is really terrible. There are fanatics who commit the most horrible crimes with the mind. If they suspect ill of someone, they cynically attribute it to the Inner-Self. They slander people and then say, “The Inner-Self tells me everything.” They feel anger and then exclaim, “I do not have anger! What I feel are intuitive impulses of the Inner-Self.” They attribute to their Inner God every evil idea, every evil thought. Those people confuse intuition with malice, the voice of the silence with the voice of Satan. We say that the voice of the silence never says atrocities. It is perfect. The voice of Satan only says perversities. In the abyss, the black magicians take up the figure of our friends , and say and do horrible things before the initiate. If the initiate lets himself be deceived by these tenebrous beings, he then becomes a slanderer of others. Slander is worse than stealing.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

When we move under the direction of the material mind or animal soul in the physical world, then we create problems for ourselves; we stay imprisoned, suffering the inexpressible. The man who acts only under hunches is happy, will never lack bread, shelter and refuge; will never have problems.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

53. There is the need to change the process of reasoning for the quality of discernment. 54. Discernment is direct perception of the truth without the process of reasoning. 55. Discernment is comprehension without the necessity of reasoning.

Igneous Rose, 1954

The process of reasoning must be exchanged for the quality of discernment. Discernment is direct perception of the Truth, without the process of reasoning.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Discernment is comprehension without need of reasoning. We must exchange the process of reasoning for the beauty of comprehension.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

Master: Creative comprehension develops on the basis of pure discernment. There cannot be comprehension if one does not establish a perfect balance between the Being and knowing. When the Being is greater than knowing, from there arises, as Gurdjieff said, a stupid saint. When knowing is greater than the Being, from there it arises, I say, a scoundrel of the intellect. The world is currently governed by scoundrels. Hence the chaotic state in which humanity finds itself.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Psychological Foundations of the False Personality Third Chamber – Mexico City

In this matter what is useful is discernment, self-exploration of oneself, psychological self-observation. As one self-observes, he sees what he has and proceeds according to what he needs, what he must be, what is urgent.

The Fifth Gospel 1A The Hidden Facets of Our Lunar Psychology Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976

Only through this path can we walk, truly, toward Final Liberation. One needs to have a good judgment, a good sense of discernment, and never forget about psychological self-observation; always learn to self-observe, that is the best. Any other question, brothers? Speak, brother.

The Fifth Gospel 1A The Hidden Facets of Our Lunar Psychology Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976

So, for one to be able to comprehend and even analyze or discern with objective reason the most transcendental truths of the Spirit, of the Being, is something magnificent. But this is not achieved overnight, only through the development of objective reason. And objective reason cannot be developed except through the successive awakenings of the Consciousness.

The Fifth Gospel 1A Gnostic Consequences of the Immolation of Pain Lecture-Interview – Mexico City – 1976

I appealed to the systems of Krishnamurti and Gurdjieff: in-depth, profound comprehension, through inner meditation; to try, through meditation, to comprehend the process of lasciviousness, of lust. Unquestionably, the power of discernment, delving deeper, became extremely penetrating; It was like the surgeon’s scalpel trying to take out the root of a cancerous tumor; but everything was useless.

The Fifth Gospel 1A The Wonders of Awakened Consciousness Public Lecture – 1975

One of those days, in profound meditation, I was trying to discern what the process of lust is, trying to understand what that “I” is –according to the systems of Gurdjieff, Nicoll, Krishnamurti and many, many others– when, to my disgrace, an unusual phenomenon happened to me: because the concentration was too penetrating, I left the physical body and entered the world that we would call astral. Then I found myself inside a luxurious mansion, caressing a lady, loving her, wooing her, etc.; exactly the opposite of what I was trying to do, the antithesis, as if, by stubborn opposition, that terrible “I” wanted to totally destroy my work.

The Fifth Gospel 1A The Wonders of Awakened Consciousness Public Lecture – 1975

The matter was serious. I felt very sad. I resorted to Krishnamurti’s system of “integral comprehension and discernment”. The system of meditation was profound, I was trying to discern the process of lust, the process of desire; I wanted to comprehend to be able to eliminate, but everything turned out to be useless. After a day of terrible work on myself, I was failing again the trials of chastity. For that reason, I was suffering frighteningly.

The Fifth Gospel 1B Didactic Synopsis of Mystical Death

And I kept working with Devi Kundalini, and that is how I managed to keep eliminating all the inhuman psychic aggregates that I carried inside. If I had not received the instruction of the Guardian of the Sphinx of the desert, I would have been without armament. With what would I have eliminated those “I’s”? Experience taught me that it is not possible to base this exclusively on comprehension or discernment. I do not deny that comprehension is fundamental, but it is not everything; one also needs elimination. Comprehension and elimination are basic. This is how we can advance on the path of the disintegration of the undesirable elements that we carry within us; this way and only this way.

The Fifth Gospel 1A The Wonders of Awakened Consciousness Public Lecture – 1975

Comprehension and discernment are fundamental. Nonetheless, something more is necessary if indeed what we want is to disintegrate the “myself.”

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975

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

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

If that man, in life when he possessed his Physical Body, had practiced the Clue of “Discernment,” he would have been capable of awakening consciousness during his normal sleep; and, now after death, would have become a conscious disciple although disembodied, of the Great White Lodge.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959
