Lying

To lie is the desire of falsifying the truth.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

The lie is certainly a false connection. What is normal is that the energy of the Father, the life of the Ancient of Days, that is to say, of our profound inner Being, flows through our inner cosmic organization, until reaching the mind.

For the Few, 1980

But if we produce a false connection this energy can no longer flow. It is as if the flow of that energy had been interrupted. The electricity would not reach the source, the source that illuminates us. The lie is a false connection.

For the Few, 1980

What is most serious is that negative emotions turn a human being into a liar. The lie produces a wrong connection, because the energy of the Ancient of Days, which flows harmoniously and perfectly through the ten sephiroth of the Hebrew Kabbalah to Malkuth –the kingdom, the physical person, psycho-physical–, connects wrongly in a liar. This produces an intentional dislocation of his mind and, as a consequence, a lie arises, that is, a wrong connection.

The Fifth Gospel Secret Repercussions of the Rings of Alcyone

One can be a liar because of a negative emotion, which makes us slanderers and liars, or one can be a liar consciously and at will. In any case, it is a negative connection of the mind with the superior centers of the Being. It produces a dislocation of the mind from the superior centers of the Being.

The Fifth Gospel Secret Repercussions of the Rings of Alcyone

One sins against the Father when one lies. One sins against the Son when one feels hatred for someone. One sins against the Holy Spirit when one fornicates, that is to say, when we spill the semen. The Father is Truth. The Son is Love. The Holy Spirit is Sexual Fire.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in Lust and Chastity

He who lies sins against the Father who is Truth, and he who hates, sins against the Son who is Love, and he who fornicates sins against the Holy Spirit who is Chastity.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978 also in Hatred, Lust and Chastity, The Intimate Christ

First of all, the person who lies is sinning against the Father which is Truth, and against the Ninth Commandment (You shall not commit adultery). Second, the person who hates is sinning against the Son, who is love, and against the First Commandment of the Law of God, which says: “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” (St. John 13: 35). “For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?” (St. Matthew 5: 46).

Dissolving the I, 1964

Whoever lies does not do the will of the Father. Whoever lets himself be carried away by negative emotions does not do the will of the Father.

The Fifth Gospel Secret Repercussions of the Rings of Alcyone

When a second psychological body has been formed, one that allows us to enter the sephirotic regions of Hod, it is possible to prove for ourselves what a lie is, falsehood.

The Fifth Gospel Secret Repercussions of the Rings of Alcyone also in Hod

It is said that Michael is the ruler of such a sephiroth and it is obvious that he shines wonderfully in that region. How can we explore these regions if we are liars, if we are victims of negative emotions? Obviously, it is not possible.

The Fifth Gospel Secret Repercussions of the Rings of Alcyone also in Hod

How could we explore the regions of Netzach if we do not connect correctly with the superior centers of Being? In order to explore the region of Netzach one needs to have created a mental psychological body; otherwise, it is impossible.

The Fifth Gospel Secret Repercussions of the Rings of Alcyone also in Netzach

Generally when one is full of negative emotions one turns into a liar. That is the reality of the facts.

For the Few, 1980

A person who allows himself to be carried away by negative emotions, becomes a liar, one hundred percent. I had previously spoke to you in my past lecture about the case of a gentleman, who currently –we could say– is on the verge of death. This good man had a stroke. The reason? Very clear, I repeat: someone mistakenly informed him that his sister was a victim of fraud. This information was later examined and proven to be false.

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

His sister still continues to be convinced that she had been a victim of fraud. And it is obvious that she calumniated an innocent person. But she is sure that she was a victim. I personally investigated this case and I realized that she was deceiving herself. She is lying to herself, a victim of negative emotions, and in turn calumniating another person in an unconscious way.

For the Few, 1980

Master: Well, unquestionably, negative emotions are very damaging. Whoever is a victim of negative emotions becomes a liar, a criminal, a slanderer and a pervert. Let us suppose that someone says to a man that his wife has sexual relations with another man. So he gets carried away by a negative emotion, and he can even go and kill the woman and kill the other gentleman. Let us say that the news was false and that the poor woman was only friends with that man; perhaps she had talked with him, and she never thought of being lovers and having a love affair with him nor of being unfaithful to her husband. So the husband, in addition to being a murderer, is a slanderer and a pervert.

The Fifth Gospel The Need to Crystallize the Soul Second Chamber – Mexico City – January 1977 also in Jealousy

Whoever wants to dissolve the ‘I’ has to begin by knowing his inner contradictions; unfortunately, people like deceiving themselves in order to not see their own contradictions.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

Whoever wants to dissolve the ‘I’ has to begin by not being a liar. All people are liars unto themselves, everyone lies to himself.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

We ourselves realize our contradictions, but we patch them up by trying to make mental jug-gles with the aim of self-deceiving.

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

That is why we prefer to deceive ourselves and to come up with very lucid phrases such as “Well, well, well, I already reflected on it; well, I already thought that it’s better not this way, it’s better to do it the other way”, etc. This is how we self-deceive. “Yes, the thing is that I am very reflective”, “yes, it’s just that by analyzing things I think it’s better this way and not that way, as I had originally thought.” What a silly little way of self-deceiving, right?

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

We know that we are full of contradictions, we do not ignore it; but we always do a lot of juggling, or balancing, looking for readjustments, and with justifications, “we look the other way – as they say-”; we self-deceive ourselves, deep down, with the evident purpose of running away from ourselves, of not wanting to see the crude realism of our contradictions; in no way would we like to know that we are half crazy.

The Fifth Gospel Beyond the Mind Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1974

If a man feels honest, feels incapable of lying, suddenly it happens that he is offended by being called a liar. Obviously, if he has accepted that on the side of his psychological moon, on that side that is not seen, in the hidden side of himself, the lying still exists in an unconscious way, he will not feel offended when he is called a liar, he will know how to be tolerant with his fellow man.

The Fifth Gospel The Hidden Facets of our Lunar Psychology Third Chamber – Mexico City – 1976

When the multiplicity of our errors is accepted as something factual, yet one discards the necessity of study and direct observation of the errors, it is an evasion or escape, an escape from oneself, a form of self-deceit.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975

We cannot take seriously what any particular “I” affirms at any given moment because of the concrete fact that any other “I” can affirm exactly the opposite at any other moment. What is critical of all this subject matter is that many people believe that they possess a sense of moral responsibility; yet, they deceive themselves when affirming that they are always the same.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975

Nonetheless, we must not forget that whosoever believes himself to be “one” will deceive himself, thinking that he does know that which he must eliminate. Yet, indeed, he does not even know that he does not know; he is a learned ignoramus.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975

People covet virtues, without understanding that any kind of covetousness strengthens the pluralized I, and many are those who deceive themselves when they covet not being covetous. Many are those who covet the virtue of gentleness. Those poor people do not want to understand that only by comprehending all the processes of anger in all areas of the subconscious can the virtue of gentleness be born within us.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967 also in Anger, Envy, Gratitude and Kindness

There are even very judicious brothers, missionaries, who speak very well about Gnosis, who handle the body of the doctrine in an extraordinary way, but I have been observing them, and they act as when they were not Gnostics, they act as they were acting thirty years ago. They have their old habits that they had when they knew nothing about these teachings. They continue with their same old habits. What are those brothers doing? Obviously, they are miserably deceiving themselves. That is clear.

For the Few, 1980

We must never forget that every negative “I” deceives itself and betrays to that end; it lies.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975

Each time that one feels a sudden loss of strength, when the aspirant becomes disillusioned about Gnosis, about the esoteric work, when one loses the enthusiasm and abandons what is best, it is obvious that one has been deceived by some negative “I.” The negative “I” of jealousy deceives those beings who adore each other and destroys their happiness.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975 also in Jealousy

The negative “I” of mystical pride deceives the devotees of the Path. Thus, believing themselves to be wise, they despise their Master and betray Him... The negative “I” appeals to our personal experiences, our memories, our best wishes, our sincerity. Hence, amidst all of these things, through a rigorous selection, this negative “I” presents something under a false light, something that fascinates. Thus, the outcome is failure...

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975 also in Pride

The fallacy of the ego is the habit of deceiving without any limitation, the latter processing itself through the series of the ‘I’.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

The most that we can do is to astutely conceal what is convenient to us, to hide our perversities and smile like saints, this is the fallacy of the ego, the habit of deceiving. One part of the myself can hide another part of the myself Is this something unusual? Does perhaps the cat not hide his claws? This is the fallacy of the ego. We all carry the Pharisee within us; we are very beautiful from the outside, but we are very rotten within. We have known Pharisees who are horrifying. We knew one who wore the immaculate robe of the Master, his hair was long and a razor never shaved his venerable beard. This man frightened the entire world with his sanctity, he was one hundred percent vegetarian, he drank nothing that could have alcohol, people knelt before him.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

Fraud has many colors of a psychological type. Many brides feel themselves deceived, husbands betrayed, fathers and mothers abandoned or morally wounded by their children, the employee feels unjustly fired from his job, the child feels he did not receive the promised gift, the esoteric group feels abandoned by its guide, etc., etc., etc. The ‘I’ likes to deceive, to pervert, to corrupt, to infect everything it touches.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970

Violence is an accepted part of their lives, in each of the thousands of members and gangs which exist in that country and which, painfully, human bipeds of other countries want to imitate. Is this psychological liberation? False! This is the rhetoric of the ego which has deceived everyone. It is only by living the teachings which I deliver in this entire authentic Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology put into practice, that human bipeds will be able to free themselves from the rhetoric of the ego.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

The sinister, ma levolent and tenebrous ‘I’ — be it superior, middle, or inferior — is an addition, subtraction and continuous multiplication of inhuman psychic aggregates. The so-called superior I is certainly a trick of the self, an intellectual ruse of the ego, who seeks getaways to continue its existence; it is a subtle way of self-deception.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

The pluralized I is the worst enemy of inner self-realization. The most serious problem it presents is subtle self-deception. Whoever abandons the Path of the Razor’s Edge firmly believes that he has left error and found the true path.

The Buddha's Necklace, 1967

When the “I” wants to continue here and in the afterlife, it deceives itself with the false concept of a divine and immortal “I”. None of us has a permanent “I” and we do not even have legitimate individuality. If we consider that each “I” is a different person, we can emphatically ensure the following: within each person who lives in this world, there are many persons. Each of these persons strives for supremacy, wants to be exclusive and thinks it is the one and only, although it is only a small part. We can never know ourselves without self-observation. As long as an individual continues to consider himself as one, it is clear that any inner change is more than impossible.

The Fifth Gospel The Balance of the Energetic Centers Conference given to Gnostic students

The ‘I’ divides itself in two to become united and to be one. Thus, the ‘I’ mistakenly believes that it can fulfill its super divine ambitions. All of these deceptions of the ‘I’ are subtle tricks of the mind, stupidity without any value.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66

The ‘I’ also strives for and covets those silences and even artificially fabricates them. During profound meditation, we need total quietude and silence of the mind, but we do not need that false quietude and silence fabricated by the ‘I’. We should not forget that the devil saying Mass often deceives even the most astute people.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Greed

But, unfortunately, we have been mistaken, my dear brothers. As a proof of our mistake is the fact that later we had another completely different feeling, totally distinct, and much later yet another different feeling; so, which one of the three was the true one? Then, we all have been victims of self-deceit.

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Psychology of False Feelings Third Chamber – Mexico City – May 4. 1977

We have always been guided by, or we have always mistaken the feeling of the “I” for the feeling of the Being. We have been victims of self-deceit. And here I cannot make exceptions: even I myself walked on the path of error when I believed that the feeling of the “I” was the feeling of the Being. There are no exceptions, we all have been victims of self-deceit!

The Fifth Gospel Gnostic Psychology of False Feelings Third Chamber – Mexico City – May 4. 1977 also in The Being Is the Being

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

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Clairvoyance

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

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Clairvoyance

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

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Clairvoyance

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

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Clairvoyance

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

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Clairvoyance

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

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971 also in Clairvoyance

The mind fabricates the comical superior ‘I’ to its own taste, it sees it as a Mahatma and gives it a sonorous name and then becomes self exalted falling into mythomania.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Clairvoyance

The mythomaniacs have a terrible and frightening self love; they live much attached to themselves, they adore their false bill, their so boasted superior ‘I’. Every mythomaniac is a ludicrous psychopath, every mythomaniac excessively overestimates himself and considers every inch of himself a god, whom people are compelled to adore.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Clairvoyance

We know the case of a mythomaniac who let his beard and hair grow, dressed himself in a Christian tunic, and told everybody that he was none other than the very reincarnation of Jesus Christ. Naturally there were many imbeciles who not only adored him, but that still continue adoring him.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Clairvoyance

Only through profound meditation can we experience the Being, the Intimate. The experience of the Being, the Intimate, transforms us radically. Mythomaniacs often adulterate said experience with unconscious mental self projections, which they then hurry to tell to everybody. Mythomaniacs are often victims of self-deceit and believing themselves to be gods, they aspire for everyone to adore them.

Christmas Messages, 1952–66 also in Clairvoyance

Any of these many entities which in conjunction constitute that which is called EGO can, if it so wishes, acquire the form of a Mahatma or Guru and so when the dreamer returns to a state of wakefulness, will say of himself, "I am Self-Realized, I am a Master." It must be observed with respect to this matter that in the subconscious of all people lies the latent tendency to take advantage of personification.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

The Mythomaniac type of person is the one who boasts of being a God, who feels himself to be super-transcended, who wishes to be worshipped by all of the world.

Runic Magic, 1969 also in Clairvoyance

You must be very sure that when a sleeping mythomaniac works in the Forge of the Cyclops, very soon they will abandon this work, and will say: I already achieved the Second Birth, I am a liberated one, I have renounced Nirvana for the love of humanity, I am a God We have seen many ugly things within our beloved Gnostic Movement. It becomes dreadful to see the mythomaniacs, the sleepy, hallucinated ones prophesying madness, slandering their neighbours, qualifying others as black magicians, etc. Certainly, this is dreadful.

Runic Magic, 1969 also in Clairvoyance

In the past, several incarnated him, in the future, many will incarnate him. No one can receive the Crown of Life without first having raised his Seven Serpents upon the staff. Everyone who says, “I received the Crown of Life,” lies; the one who receives it does not say it; it is only known by his deeds; the Crown of Life is a terrible secret.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in The Intimate Christ

Initiation is something very intimate and is of the Soul. The “I” does not receive initiations. Those who say, “I have so many initiations”, “I have such and such degrees”, are liars and fakes, because the “I” does not receive initiations or degrees.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

Nevertheless, there are some sincerely mistaken ones who think the best of themselves. They say, “I have incarnated Him, I am the Christ.”

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983 also in The Intimate Christ

Therefore, the human person, the intellectual animal called man, is worth less than the ash of a cigarette. But, the fools feel themselves to be giants. Unfortunately, in all the pseudo-esoteric currents there abound mythomaniacs, individuals who feel themselves to be Masters, and enjoy it when others call them Masters; individuals who believe themselves to be Gods, individuals who presume to be Saints. The only one who is truly great is the Spirit, the Intimus. We, the intellectual animals, are leaves that the wind tosses about. Leaves of the Tree of Life; that is all. “Man is a hybrid mixture of plant and ghost.”... “a poor shadow that can only achieve immortality if it fabricates that which is called Soul”.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in The Being Is the Being

God is the Father who is in secret; only he is God. The Father can take the man if he is very perfect, if he is a Bodhisattva; put him in his mind, or put him in his heart, or put him to work outside himself, somewhere, to do something. But for that man, that good-for-nothing, to feel that he is God, is mythomania of the worst class, of the worst taste.

The Fifth Gospel The Destruction of our Lunar Inheritance Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 1977 also in Pride, The Being Is the Being

We men are men, and nothing more than that: men. God is God, but we, men, are men. The one who feels very wise because he has some knowledge of pseudo-esotericism or pseudo-occultism here, in the mind, and thinks that he is already a great Initiate, has fallen into mythomania, he is full of himself.

The Fifth Gospel The Destruction of our Lunar Inheritance Third Chamber – Mexico City – June 1977 also in Pride

May none of us think he is perfect, because perfect, only the Father who is in the Heavens is perfect; we all, starting with me –who is the one delivering this conference here before you–, must consider ourselves imperfect. It is lamentable that in the Gnostic Movement there are still personalities who think they are perfect; it is lamentable that in our Gnostic Movement there are still mythomaniacs, people who feel sublime and hierarchical. I, as founding president of this great Movement, would never feel perfect, because I am perfectly convinced that only he, the Lord, the Father, is perfect. But in the Gnostic Movement, one sometimes sees astonishing incon-gruities: people full of error who think they are wise, people who feel very holy when their hands are full of coal; people who feel very elevated hierarchically, transformed into Hierophants when, in reality and in truth, they have not even started to tread the revolutionary vertical path.

The Fifth Gospel The Verticality of Existence First Gnostic Youth Encounter – Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico – July 10. 1975 also in Clairvoyance

Some mystical “I’s” deceive themselves after having abandoned this sect or the other. They decide to believe themselves to be Gods. Thus, they shine like fatuous lights and finally disappear.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975

However, after such bliss, the Essence returns into the interior of the “myself.” Those who have become accustomed to ecstasy without having dissolved the ego believe that they have already reached liberation. They fool themselves by believing themselves to be Masters. They even enter into the submerged devolution.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975

Unquestionably, the kalkian personality is a victim of self-deceit. He believes that he has achieved everything when he has achieved nothing and what is worse is that he has lost the sense of veneration; he has forgotten the true and authentic religiosity; he has also lost humility before the Creating Logos. This is the kalkian personality.

The Revolution of the Dialectic

This then is the classical reason for which many Asiatic GURUS forewarn all possible forms of SELF-DECEIT, before initiating their disciples in Transcendental Magic. A monk visited T'ai-Shan, who shut the door in his face. The monk knocked on the door and T'ai-Shan asked: "Who is it?" The monk answered, "The Lion's Cub." Then T'aiShan opened the door and jumped onto the monk's neck whilst shouting "Animal! Where will you go now?" The monk did not reply.

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

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

The Mystery of the Golden Blossom, 1971

The intellect is the powerful weapon that the Lucifers use to prevent their victims from escaping from the abyss. The abyss is full of sincerely mistaken beings. The abyss is full of people of very good intentions. Many tenebrous ones of the abyss are sincerely mistaken.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

These schools of black magic are everywhere. We remember the dissident sect of the Maya. Their adepts were expelled from the White Maya Lodge. They are black magicians. This school was established between Yucatan and Guatemala. Presently, this school of Mayan black magic has active agents in Mexico and Guatemala. But, who would dare to doubt these tenebrous people, who say they are Mayan princes and great priests? These people still speak with much rever ence about Teoti, Supreme God, creator and maintainer of the world. They become ecstatic remembering Bacabs, the Mayan trinity and Camaxtli, punisher of the evil etc. Under these circumstances it is very difficult to detect such tenebrous people. When the devotee entrusts himself to them, they then take him to their temples where they initiate him. Clearly the devotee, in the most naive way be comes a black magician. A devotee in these circumstances would never accept that he was classified as a black magician. The abyss is full of sincerely mistaken people and people of very good intentions.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

Multitudes of schools of Black Magic exist; many of these with most venerable traditions, which teach Sexual Magic with the spillage of semen. They have most beautiful theories which attract and captivate, and if the student falls for this seductive and delightful deception, he becomes a Black Magician. These black schools affirm to the four winds that they are white, and it is for this reason that the ingenuous fall victim. These schools also speak beautifully of love, charity, wisdom etc, etc. Naturally in such circumstances, the naive disciple comes to firmly believe that there is nothing bad or perverse about such institutions. Remember good disciple, that the abyss is filled with those who are sincerely mistaken, and of people with very good intentions.

Tarot and Kabbalah, 1978

It becomes obvious to comprehend that we are not talking against the legitimate clairvoyants. We are only referring to the hallucinating ones, to those sincerely mistaken ones who dream that they are awakened.

Runic Magic, 1969 also in Awakening, Clairvoyance

Truly, I believe that the sincerely mistaken one, the sleepy one who dreams of being awake, the Mythomaniac who believes himself to be a super-transcended one, the hallucinated one who qualifies himself as being an Illuminated one, is used to doing very much harm to himself and to humanity. He does more harm than that inflicted by the one who never in his life has entered into our studies.

Runic Magic, 1969 also in Awakening, Clairvoyance

We cannot deny the conclusive and definitive fact that there are millions of sincerely mistaken people, who very honestly presume to be virtuous and think the best of themselves.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973

The grave thing about this, distinguished friends, noble brothers, esteemed ladies, is that those who are lost, the sincerely mistaken, always think that they are on the right track. How can one make people comprehend that they are on the wrong path?

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973

Many sincerely mistaken ones who truly want to self-realize exist in the most venerable schools of esoteric wisdom and of occultism; yet, they are not dedicated to the Numerous are these people who assume that through good intentions it is possible to attain sanctity. Obviously, as long as one does not work intensely on those “I" that we carry within our interior, they will continue to exist beneath the depth of our godly appearance and our upright conduct.

Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology, 1975

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 also in Anger, Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

Initiates who in remote ages were demons of the abyss are now marvelous; they no longer let themselves be deceived by the tenebrous ones; they know the demons very well. Those types of initiates cannot be deceived by any tenebrous one; they know what the abyss is. They are profound experts in that area. They know very well the Tree of the Science of Good and Evil. Initiates who did not know the abyss in ancient times, are now naive victims of the tenebrous ones. Those types of initiates are easily deceived by the tenebrous ones. Those initiates become slanderers of their fellowmen. Those initiates vociferate against others and they fall into the abyss. In order to be Gods, we have to know completely the Tree of the Science of Good and Evil.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

Rare are the aspirants who know how to obey the Father who is in secret. Wanting to tell the truth, almost all students of occultism, lie; they have a deceitful tongue. They affirm what they have not experienced and that is lie.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

Nowadays, it is very common to bear false witness and many students of occultism do so without knowing that they commit a crime.

Esoteric Treatise of Hermetic Astrology, 1967

The one who takes a false oath and the one who blasphemes against the divine overestimates his own desires too much.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

The lying words and crafty tongue characterizes the perverse one.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

The karma of liars is a monstrosity: children born with two heads, deformed. When one connects wrongly with the superior centers of the Being, the consequence: one comes into existence with a deformed body. Behold the lie. We must pay close attention to this matter.

The Fifth Gospel Secret Repercussions of the Rings of Alcyone also in The Law of Karma

Have you ever seen the birth of a monstrous child? That is the Karma of the false word pronounced in previous lifetimes. We admire very much the substance of sincerity. A liar could never arrive at our white island.

Zodiacal Course, 1951 also in The Law of Karma

Liars can be born with a deformed vital body, resulting in a monstrous or sickly physical vehicle.

Yes, There Is a Hell, a Devil and Karma, 1973

When abandoning the physical body because of its death, the soul takes all of its conscious values. Then, when reincarnating into a new physical body, the soul brings all of its conscious values. They could be good as well as evil. These values are positive and negative energies. Every common and current human being has a culture of larvae in his astral atmosphere. These are of such strange forms that are too odd to conceive mentally. Positive values bring health and joy. Negative values materialize themselves into sicknesses and bitterness. Variola is the result of hatred. Cancer is the result of fornication. Lies disfigure the human figure, thus engendering monstrous children.

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

The Ego pleases itself with falsehood, deception, falsity, hypocrisy, vanity, error, fiction, with pretending, etc. Yet, the Being is different; He never lies, always utters the truth no matter what the cost might be.

Parsifal Unveiled, 1970 also in The Being Is the Being

Desire of lying is transmuted into words of truth.

Endocrinology & Criminology, 1957

People have lost notion of sincerity. Nowadays, human words do not carry the substance of sincerity and people suffer due to the lack of sincerity. Today, human words are full of falsehood and hypocrisy.

Zodiacal Course, 1951

Sincerity is what we need, to not miserably deceive each other anymore. Unfortunately, there is a huge lack of sincerity in the world. Everyone believes they are perfect, everyone believes they are righteous, everyone believes they are holy, everyone believes they are wise. In the different schools of a pseudo-esoteric and pseudo-occultist type, there is no one who thinks he is ignorant; everyone believes they have already “grabbed hold of God by the beard”. They ignore, and the worst of all is that not only do they ignore, but moreover they ignore that they ignore. That is what is most serious!
